I was the one who posted that question and I deleted it because I understood I was asking to compare apple to oranges. Firecracker uses KVM under the hood. With regards to the overhead, sure, there's going to be resources needed but firecracker is pretty good at running VMs will low level overhead. We're talking thousands on a single host.

I've done some fair share of evaluating firecracker for https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild and the need to provision is red herring. firebuild can run a VM directly from a Dockerfile and Docker image. Fly.io team does something similar. It's basically a fully functional app out of the container within a matter of milliseconds.

What would be nice is to see a direct comparison between your solution and firecracker.

I get that this is necessary, but it also puts a lot of friction into the system that never gets accounted for in terms of cost.

If that friction costs more than the cost of being hacked, it is a net loss.

You live in a society that has some really strong stereotypes of early risers and night owls so there is a large amount of learned values involved here. There might be more to it than that for you, but the learned shame part is real and a very consistent part of our culture.
Tesla's EPA numbers don't correlate well with real world results.

On paper, the Tesla Model Y AWD Long Range (EPA range 326 miles) should have more range than a Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Extended Range (EPA range 270 miles). But in a real world test the Mach-E has more range:

Another test:

The Mustang Mach-E RWD California Route 1 trim should get more range again because AWD vehicles typically have lower range than FWD or RWD vehicles.

And you should also try the route you want to drive with A Better Routeplanner. It should give you a pretty good idea about which vehicles will be suitable (both in range and charging options):

Synthesia is also the name of a much more established, extremely popular midi/piano visualisation software[1]. If you've ever looked up "<song> piano tutorial" on youtube, you've probably seen that program.

It's a shame they chose that name, since it was such a great play on words for the midi software (synesthesia is sound into colorful visuals, and midi uses synths) whereas this product has basically no relation.

A teaspoon of baking soda has about 1200mg of sodium, which is about half of your daily allowance. If you have heartburn regularly enough that this intake is worrisome, I'd say a prescription would be a better option for you.

I also prefer the baking soda over TUMS because it usually makes me burp, which feels soo good after it works its magic >_<

>Danish politician Ida Auken, who wrote the prediction in question (here), said it was not a “utopia or dream of the future” but “a scenario showing where we could be heading - for better and for worse.”

When we are dealing with the future, it is not enough to work with reports. We should start discussions in many new ways. This is the intention with this piece.”

The "starting a discussion" is bullshit rhetoric under the guise of innocence, and you should be wiser than to believe these people don't have an agenda. No one "starts a discussion" without an agenda.

(I'm a developer at Fly).

I hesitated to chime in with specifics because I haven't done any real work on timing and profiling and because my dev environment is a NUC which, while zippy, is not the state of the art execution environment for Firecracker.

But, long story short: I restart test Firecrackers constantly, from shell scripts, and from start to my Go application logging its first "I'm listening" message after its VM has fully initialized, it's essentially instantaneous.

I'm sure it could be made faster, but making it faster would in no meaningful way change my life.

Instances on Fly can take a second or two to come up, but that's orchestration overhead, not Firecracker (Fly is zippy, too, don't get me wrong.)
They're then given a "fair and equal" punishment: An academically ruinous suspension for the kid that cares, and a vacation for the kid that doesn't.

Every single problem America has, the kids end up paying for. This grew out of our sue-happy 80s/90s culture. School administrators basically opted out of their job because they were afraid of lawsuits.
They're not eager to do it for its own sake. They're eager to do it because they think it's their only shot at a comfortable lifestyle.

There's no reason this should be the case. There's no reason anyone in this country should have to worry about having a less-than-comfortable lifestyle, given how much food, energy, and various necessary and luxury products we're able to produce. It's only the case because of the massive income inequality we have today.
You're right, I probably should have added a unit test. I added one in a branch of ongoing work. I don't always add unit tests, but in this case, it was pretty easy to. (FWIW, this is in the grep-regex crate, not the regex crate. The grep-regex crate is a glue layer between regex and ripgrep that adds in a bunch of line-oriented optimizations.)

> While repeating yourself exactly once isn't automatically a bad sign, it smells suspicious. It seems like there would be a lot of tests that ought to behave exactly the same with or without --mmap and so maybe that's a pattern worth extracting.

Quite possibly. Not a bad idea. I already do that in the tests for PCRE2. Most tests are run with both the default regex engine and with PCRE2. (There are some tests that have intended behavioral differences with mmap enabled, but those can be handled on a case-by-case basis.)

You might perceive low user demand for this change because your users assume that you handle the privacy/security risks, and assume that the only issue is annoyance.

Have you measured the performance difference between your system and Firecracker? I'm interested in knowing more about how you're quantifying this. As I said, it'd be easier to engage with this if your technical overview was public.

It's also a little tricky to get my head around how you're simultaneously winning on I/O performance by not virtualizing it, and also shielding me from host kernel vulnerabilities. Some of that I/O overhead you're talking about is spent in the service of putting a security boundary between my guests and my host.
The site seems light on details. As a security guy, I'm particularly interested in (and a skeptic of) claims of "de-privileging" a Linux kernel. Firecracker[1] micro VMs are very fast, "feel" like containers, and don't depend on modifying the guest OS for security. Plus they're FOSS. This is what I'd measure Kwarantine against; you need to be in the ballpark on all these characteristics and knock it out of the park on manageability to interest me.

As the Sr. Internet Mail Administrator for AOL in 1995, we quickly learned that the only real way to validate an e-mail address was to send mail to it. Even that wasn’t guaranteed, but anything less was doomed to unexpected failure and misery.

And this wasn’t a new lesson then. But at least we were smart enough to listen to the people who had learned that lesson before us.

It is now over 25+years later, and I’m sad to see that many people seem to be bound and determined to force themselves to re-learn that lesson the hard way.

XP and especially Vista looked sillier, with the constant need to update the UI to entice users to upgrade, but I think they did actually improve technically, "under the hood". And by the time we got the best Windows ever -- i.e, Windows 7 -- I couldn't even tell you what that looked like natively[1], because by then I was in the habit of installing Powertoys and using its TweakUI component to switch to a W2K theme[2] the first thing I did with any new Windows installation I got.

Versions 8 and 10 may be even better, engineering-wise -- 10 certainly crashes or hangs even less frequently than 7 -- but since they won't let you you fix the crappy GUI any more, their usability suffers much more than the increased stability can compensate for.

[1]: Pretty much like Vista, with that super-annoying "Glass"(?) transparency bumf as default... I think.

[2]: This, too, was whittled down over time. In XP, and I think in Vista too, you could set window border width to any value down to and including 0 in TweakUI. By W7, you needed to edit a Registry value to get this below 1.

If it's depositing a layer, that will lessen the extent of fissures and round them out. That's a great thing to be convinced with polishing. This adds to the valleys and polishing removes from the peaks, making an overall much flatter surface.

Where I think this would really shine is with receding gums. It'll be able to slowly add protecting to a part of the teeth that has absolutely no protection. That will help "clog" the pores and reduce sensitivity as well as likeliness of a cavity.

At least some 6502 operating systems used calling conventions to work around this. For example by putting a parameter “inline” after the JSR to a dispatcher, with the dispatcher fixing up the return address to skip the parameter on return. Then your activations can be anywhere in memory.

Cloud Gaming: Is It Going Anywhere?
I went into high school as a curious kid who loved reading and enjoyed opportunities to be creative. I left high school as a nervous wreck who was terrified to apply myself in any academic situation because I'd been mocked so much - by teachers and students alike - for various failures.

It took me eight years to break out of that mindset, but I'm now doing well. In fact, my job makes heavy use of the subject that I was most afraid of due to my high school experience: mathematics. The process of becoming confident in mathematical problem solving and working through my considerable personal mental hangups was a dreadful experience. Many or even most people do not break out from the hang-ups they learn during high school, especially with mathematics.

EI have nothing but animosity for the high school system and would welcome any change that makes it less prominent in the lives of teens and young adults. I'd say that a college module system like that which the OP describes is a vastly superior alternative. I think that intellectual life and social life should be separated as much as possible, which I believe is for the most part the default setting in most universities.
Hardware development is fundamentally different and so is the software that goes along with it. When you have a firmware deadline dictated by a production schedule, it leaves a lot less room for feature and scope creep because there is a final "done"(-ish) state. Any changes to the firmware after the product has shipped are far more expensive and risky than starting a CI/CD build.

With the deadline, there is pressure to push employees as the production deadline approaches. In software where you and all your competitors can push changes to production at any time, that pressure exists 100% of the time - sort of like on a factory floor.

Edit: The other side of it is that hardware production depends on standardization far more than software. Once you have designed a part and a manufacturing process around it, the ROI of designing a new alternative is usually negative compared to improving part of the manufacturing process.

So you are saying some part of the (language, compiler, runtime, generated code, etc.) is... what, exactly?

Perhaps one or more of: {Memory-,CPU-,Power-}efficient? Fast? Compact? Reliable/non-buggy? Easy to use? Expressive? Easy to understand, maintain or port? Standards-compliant? Or maybe that it contains a useful and complete API for a certain application domain (e.g. games/sound/animation on the Spectrum Next?) Or maybe it has a nice IDE or workflow? All/some of the above?

And ... compared to what? Other BASIC compilers for ZX or for CP/M? Other CP/M languages/IDEs like Turbo Pascal (which sounds like it was a pretty great environment according to folks on HN at least?)

I rarely have to think about stuff at this level, but am I interpreting how this works right?

When a remote login fails on these devices, it kills its ssh server process, waits a certain amount of (time * how many failed attempts)ms, then starts it back up?

But if you truly hammer at one of these devices you could force it to reboot, which makes it forget the counter, so an attackers gets an unlimited number of the “cheapest” guesses (though it’d still slow it down a bit).

The solution is the machine physically writes the memory from RAM into onboard FLASH mem, and is reading/writing the count variable to a file instead of just using a variable.

FLASH memory is the type that keeps state as long as it has a trickle of power, so as long as the device is plugged in, this is essentially “long term” storage (but not truly like a hdd would be).

A reboot will wipe the systems RAM (because you don’t want any bad state from behaviour lurking around), but not the FLASH. And because it doesn’t ever physically cut the power the FLASH persists and the intended increasingly harsh punishment for failed logins works.

Lower level stuff is awesome.

I personally started with vanilla keybindings and when I get frustrated by some keybinding not feeling intuitive, I just change it to something else I like. I’ve had conflicts, and shot myself in the foot as a beginner, but you end up getting used to configuring things to your liking.

Unlike some folks, speed of editing is not usually my bottleneck so I’m happy being slower with navigating and editing. I also know diehard vim fans who switched and use evil mode exclusively and from their shared experience it’s kind of the same - some things won’t work or won’t be intuitive but they end up rebinding to their liking.

In my opinion, pick a path and commit to it. I don’t think you’ll regret it either way. If you love modal editing starting with evil mode will yield a better end experience for you once you’re proficient.
