Nah.... Just look at Detroit. That's a modern version of a city in Ruin... Rome didn't get abandoned in a day. It took about 100 years, to go from 1 mill, to between 30-60k inhabitants. The most visible today's comparison would be Detroit (or parts of it).
Smaller structures just disappear, but the large ones remain and look like relics:

Also, many cities do have old antique buildings in them (coliseums, or amphitheaters), and mediterranean europe is dotted with them. From Spain to Italy to Greece and Albania. That doesn't mean that the people left from the cities. It just meant that they stopped having a purpose due to economic shortages, and just went to decay into old crumbling buildings that are just there for the locals.

Very similar to old ware houses, or abandoned train stations, or stadiums, in industrial cities.
I don't think ads fund open internet, it does fund the huge valuation of internet companies though. Why internet company's valuation is so much higher than the shops on high-streets? it does not have to be.

I don't hate ads, they are useful. I use Instagram for ads, I follow restaurants and hotels. They are just some information. But I don't want to be targeted.
Right now the buy controls the prices. There is no real negotiation. Think that's better?
I do understand the point you are making, but if the goal is to discourage use, the tooling should make it easy for downstream users (other developers) to know that a certain dependency "relies on a smart programmer doing the right thing". My 2 cents - some sort of `unsafe` usage score??

I am suggesting this to prevent the likes of the burn-out that happened with actix-web and its use of unsafe (which is now fixed apparently)

Well, I can answer that very clearly from personal experience: you are wrong. Medical education is much shorter in the US compared to most western countries. You have to understand that in medicine, school years are not all there is to it. The real issue is when do you get to truly practice without supervision, and that's much earlier in the US. Basically, a short residency and 1-2 years of fellowship and... done! In Europe, you're still a junior at 35.

Not arguing for parallel evolution in this one.

There are pieces of Mars on Earth. Possibly there are pieces of Earth on Mars. If they didn't contain spores, that would be unusual.

So if its possible for fungi to grow in a Mars environment, it seems the more likely outcome. That's the question - can they grow there? Then, they are likely growing there.

I don't think this is accurate. I watched a talk with Jonathan Blow recently and he went on for quite a while railing against premature optimization.

Sadly, IIRC the Nomicon hasn't seen a new release in a while (meaning there's unpublished Github commits at https://github.com/rust-lang/nomicon ), and there are some TODOs scattered throughout the document. It has been incomplete since 2016, as mentioned at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12066259 .

For example, https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/send-and-sync.html says:

You've got a good point there. I've read that one argument for not just releasing the patents into the wild is that there's higher likelihood of botched vaccines which would dampen public's trust in the vaccines and therefore prolong the pandemic.

I imagine though that if patents were waived then generics of the vaccines would pop up thanks to whatever manufacturers that are capable of producing the vaccines. Less developed nations would likely have the incentive of purchasing these generic options rather doing it in house if they believe the outside option will deliver higher quality results and retain public trust.
I dont have a problem per se. I agree I would have done the same too if I was in their seat. It is just normal business. I just have a problem with Apple being an extreme hypocrite.

That is the same tactic used against Qualcomm and IMG. ( And numerous other cases but I am most familiar with those two ) All to rally outside support and weaponising with their PR reach.

I’m not sure which case you’re referring to, but in the FLIR1 incident they were tracking something optically while nothing appeared on radar. The proposed explanation is that the object was a much bigger commercial plane than they thought, much further away. Cameras are just as much, if not more susceptible to optical effects than human eyes. It’s quite plausible that a plane could be thought to be say 20km away, when actually it was 5x as far and outside radar range.

IFF and radar aren’t going to help you if tye object isn’t actually where you think it is, so most of your sensors are looking in the wrong place.

In the Go Fast case we actually have all the instrument data we need. From the data on the recording and some basic trigonometry we can see the object was very small only a metre or so across, was approximately half way between the plane and the surface, and was actually only travelling at modest speed commensurate with that of a bird. I can’t _prove_ to you that it was a bird, but I leave it to you to come to your own conclusions.

I understand many of the problems with targeted ads, because humans’ “idea immune systems” are not great and easily manipulated. However I’ve gotten some targeted ads that I really really loved.

Unsafe is not evil, however as far as teaching beginners what to stay away from until they know better, I can understand why people jokingly say that it is =)

It's just a tool of course, so the perspective that it's neither bad nor good is justified to an extent. But it's not that unsafe is complicated, it's that it's full of unknown unknowns.

If you don't know any better, it's _really_ easy to write something not exception-safe, accidentally trust safe code a little too much to maintain invariants in your in unsafe code, or to break some other subtle assumption that prevented LLVM from merrily miscompiling what's in your head.

I hit so many cases in SSE (and others) where I needed 'just one more instruction' and instead had a bit of a mess, my bet is that simple SIMD instruction sets will always grow over time.

For fun, maybe they could bolt on a VLIW set (or KLIW, 'Kinda Large') and push some of the ordering work onto the programmer/compiler.

That might be true in the beginning but long term ad's add a lot of friction and frustration e.g. having to wait X amount of seconds before getting access to the content.

I have been a YouTube Premium user since day one and I can't imagine not using it.

What I would love to see more is having a choice of having a free ad supported version and the option to upgrade and pay to remove those ads.
That would mean the only new developments would be due to government funded research.

You make some good points otherwise, I don't understand why you're resorting to hyperbole or distortion like this.

> I'm not sure why the IPA chart doesn't differentiate these specific phones, honestly. I imagine it's because although the sounds are very different cross-linguistically, maybe there aren't any languages where these phones are contrastive and thus they don't warrant separate glyphs in the IPA. Still, I'd love to see them!

It's because sounds vary continuously, but the IPA is by necessity discrete. (A problem that is much worse for vowels, but still comes up for consonants.) You have to collapse variation somewhere.

The IPA notably doesn't have dedicated symbols for affricates. (Sounds that consist of a stop immediately followed by a fricative in the same location, like "z" in "pizza" or "ch" in "chill".) So English "ch" is represented /tʃ/, or if you want to be really explicit there's an affrication diacritic.

Recognizing that affricates consist physically of a colocated stop and fricative was felt to be a theoretical advance. But there's a funny story -- Peter Ladefoged went to document a language somewhere (the Americas?) and was proud to use the IPA to record its sounds. He insisted on it.

He insisted on it even after discovering that the language in question made a phonemic distinction between affricated tʃ, which he represented by /tʃ/, and /t/ followed by /ʃ/ without affrication, which he was forced to represent by /t.ʃ/. This would have been much easier to understand with a more bespoke system representing the two adjacent sounds as /tʃ/ and the affricate as /č/.
So some rough calculations shows that raising sea level .5 cm would give an extra 3044143911700 liters of water in the oceans. Also, studies show that producing 1 kilogram of almonds consumes 10240 liters of water, and that a single almond tree can produce 50 kilograms of almonds per year.

All this means that we could offset .5 cm of rise by planting about 5.9 million almond trees!

The issue with a person doing a week of science on Mars is keeping them alive for the journey there, healthy enough (and alive) during the ground mission, and getting them back alive. Even if your astronaut is interested in a suicide mission that's still the trip there and ground mission. You also can't just send one, NASA figured out three is the minimum for best effectiveness.

So before any scientific equipment you've got literal tons of life support to get to Mars. For robotic probes they can be mostly scientific instruments. They also aren't really limited by consumables like astronauts.

It's not like astronauts wouldn't be cool or useful but for the same cost as one manned mission we can spam Mars with robotic probes. There's also the added benefit of an unexpected lithobraking not leading to some flag draped coffins and a total halt to the program for years.

I've never been able to see stereograms, and I'm pretty sure it's because my eyes are at slightly different roll angles from each other, due to a surgery when I was young. One of these days I should just try writing a program to decode them for me!

Eye convergence has always been marginal for me, and as I grow older it does tend to cause some mental strain when I'm tired. I haven't correlated that strain to blue light yet, though. I do use the blue light filter on my phone at night, though, and it does perhaps have a slightly positive psychological effect.

Whether or not it was an attempted coup depends only on what the intentions of the “rioters” were. So, what do you think their intentions were in storming the chambers of our legislative branch just as the results of an election were being certified? Was their intent not to disrupt the peaceful transition of power and overturn the results of an election to keep “their guy” in power?

Honestly I think the best argument for it not being a coup attempt is that these people had been deluded into thinking they were trying to thwart a coup attempt from the other side. Because, you know, Biden stole the election. Or whatever.

Not a great look either way. But the fact that it was inarguably an incompetent and generally shambolic effort, or that much better organized people have executed much more effective coup attempts elsewhere in space and time, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a coup attempt.
Unsafe code is a necessity in Rust, but I actually really like how it's abstracted for a beginner. For the first few programs you write, you should be doing it the way Rust wants you to, so you can get a better understanding of Rust's ergonomics and what it's development workflow looks like. Introducing unsafe code too early could end up with people programming stuff like the Actix engine, which used unsafe code so liberally that it eventually became too difficult for the founder to maintain.

If there was 800GB of static data, it was almost full, so the wear-leveling process wouldn’t be optimal and it would write over a small part of the flash cells over and over. In that case you could exceed the program-erase lifetime, but not necessarily the TBW. We know the total TBW was high, though, so it was even more excessive.

From what I’ve read, Apple has fixed this problem in a recent Mac OS version. Apparently, it was a swapping bug.

> Even if there is some legislation that goes beyond that structure (honestly interested in seeing a few cases)

It's extremely rare, approaching nonexistent, for laws to have a precise, deterministic meaning because the vast majority of human language doesn't either. Here's a good example from CodeX (Stanford Center for Legal Informatics) that assesses an extremely simple law, which contains a surprising amount of ambiguity[0]:

> "One technical problem with Computational Law, familiar to many individual with legal training, is due to the open texture of laws. Consider a municipal regulation stating "No vehicles in the park". On first blush this is fine, but it is really quite problematic. Just what constitutes a vehicle? Is a bicycle a vehicle? What about a skateboard? How about roller skates? What about a baby stroller? A horse? A repair vehicle? For that matter, what is the park? At what altitude does it end? If a helicopter hovers at 10 feet, is that a violation? What if it flies over at 100 feet?
