Well, this network reset (pretty much, suicide as the link says) seems like covering everything with dynamite and starting over.

More accurate: an early 6502 or Z80 (circa late 70s/early 80s) with speeds in the low MHz range.

So a ~40-year regression in performance.
If this Principle of Least Power had been applied to sbt, what would have been the result? Compilation times depend on scalac and not so much sbt.

Perhaps Scala adoption would be higher today. Assuming no competitors (Kotlin) had gained momentum.

The actual, meaningful goal of some of these tools was to make code (via COBOL, SQL) or at least high-level design (UML) easier to audit and survey for non-technical stakeholders, so that one could check whether requirements had been correctly translated into code. In contrast, many and perhaps most "4GL", "low" or "no" code tools actually make it quite hard or even practically impossible to assess the resulting artifacts. Even MS Excel and other spreadsheets can introduce dangerous pitfalls, including in something as simple as correctly inputing data.

In theory it is of course quite possible to introduce special-cased abstractions, conventions or frameworks that really make it easier to both write and survey software for any given problem domain. As a matter of fact though, beyond existing lightweight software modularization efforts (such as reusable software libraries), such frameworks have tended to hurt rather than help.

It's not bias that bothers me. Attempts at neutrality can create their own bias-ish issues. Variety and independence is the best help here, IMO. Independence of outlets from one another. Independence of journalistic voices within outlets, etc.

What does bother me is quality, effort even. The majority of high visibility reporting is mostly commentary. Factual accuracy isn't even applicable.

They don't do the work. I very rarely encounter articles that feel like a journalist has poured over documents, spent hours with experts, etc. A good example is the latest G7 meet. Every summary of the underlying tax problems I read was substandard. The speculation about what G7 decisions would mean was substandard.

No one actually understood what they were writing about. They dig just far enough to strike emotional or partisan content: "Apple paid just %X tax, because tax havens, cheating & stuff." Tax is all about details. You have t

The average engaged reader who has read dozens of articles on the topic has not learned anything, besides good guys, bad guys and moral outrages. I don't think the journalists do either.

I link to that site several times in the blog post – but I also explicitly point out that the DOS version is _not_ freeware.

> The fundamental problem is that we don't want to tell baby boomers that they will have to work until 70 in order to keep the system afloat, or that if they are rich (including the value of their house) that they should pay for their own retirement and healthcare in old age and not receive any handouts.

We could also tax the rich to fund the pensions and healthcare of the masses. The amount of wealth the mega-rich have gained over the last year alone is absurd.
So given how the economy is going, what are the chances that the only resolution will be some sort of conflict in the next couple decades? Or will there be a gradual acceptance of UBI?

Potentially do stats on website usage data without ever seeing the actual data (the endgoal is not super humanitarian I know). Medical diagnosis could be one, bonus is the service never sees your data.

Image filtering made me think of this FHE demo/quickstart: https://6min.zama.ai/

As per conditional programs, there might be a way to do it but it would always be the worst case (no early loop break for example) so the runtimes would be aweful and the memory state could get prohibitively large I guess (to keep track of all the branches).

AWS can upgrade your database automatically, but with some downtime. AWS also provides DMS for migrations, which didn't work well in our case. So it was rather a simple problem at first, which turned to be a very complex one in the end.

Robert Sawyer and George Martin are fans of WordStar. I supported it in the 1980s. It is a very clunky, awkward program by modern standards; that is why WordPerfect completely supplanted it.

It is not freeware. However, if you want to try it, there is a free clone:

Counterpoint (as someone married to a journalist): most news outlets do not have the time, resources and intent to further any special interest agenda except for their front page and op-eds. To achieve Murdoch-level disinformation is hard work. It requires so much work, that most news outlets cannot compete. There just isn't enough time and money in the news business. Remember this isn't science where there is time for research. Many news outlets have individual journalists contribute 3 to 5 articles per day. Do you think this allows for a lot of spinning an agenda?

No, the reality is different. Lots of news is just repeating what others report (news agencies to online news to news papers) because there aren't that many original sources anyway.

I believe what you think is (malicious?) agenda, is really just news outlets trying to survive. Murdoch/Springer/FoxNews to the contrary, but these are easy to avoid.
The article seems to potray Holden as surprisingly competent despite lack of training, and aside from the tail drag, perfectly executed.

May I suggest that you read to the end of something before you comment?

To address your point about the Linux version:

I do not think that you are correct. Corel Corp, which is still alive and well, explicitly made a free version of the app and released it, along with a press release (which I link to). This has not been revoked or cancelled subsequently; the Linux version of the product was discontinued.

If someone makes a piece of software available for free, even if it's just a binary, then it remains free unless or until the company revokes that status. Corel has not revoked its status. Ergo, it remains freeware.
I've had conversations with colleagues about the use of 'master' and 'slave' which appear to also be falling out of favour. Had mentioned that forking and killing children seems to be acceptable language, for now.

One of the key pillars of "Reaganomics" was attacking the cycle of wage-price inflation by breaking the ability of unions and workers in general to coerce higher prices from the market. The commonly-circulated graph that shows compensation splitting off from productivity in the 1970s isn't an accident, it's an intended policy outcome.

The key distinction isn't so much between "workers" and "capitalists" as between "voters for whom cashflow is critical" and "voters for whom asset income and fixed income is critical" (i.e. pensioners! A huge fraction of the voters!) Within the "cashflow" category you also have the question of whether you've paid off enough mortgage to regard house price inflation as good rather than bad, or whether you're staring up at the wall of deposit required to enter the housing market.

Yeah but then you're in the "manage a bunch of really old hardware" business.

RasPi have that consistency factor and the "game boy" factor of kinda being able to throw one against a wall and for it to work.

It's not the best programming experience but at least it'll be consistent. (Part of this is a Python problem tho tbh. Every Django Girls thing is half "go through the code" and half "try to figure out what weird situation your computer is in", even for Macs)
In my reading [0,1] Cambridge is more lenient than Oxford about intellectual property. I've heard that Cambridge is one of the more lenient universities in the UK regarding IP, although I don't have experience or data to back that up.

Your university will (should!) provide talks or contact with their IP department, spin-out office, etc. You should be able to ask pertinent questions of them in confidence. Make a contact there, and ask for an off-the-record conversation, they should be amenable.

In my limited experience, universities are averse to some monetisation approaches that are frequently used in computing businesses, for example open-sourcing the code and monetising a service that deploys/supports it. (I'm aware of difficulties with this model, just using it as an example.) Instead, they are far more familiar with approaches such as patenting a new algorithm and selling enterprise licenses.

If you're planning a business model that the university would not be interested in, you should be able to get them to confirm a lack of interest. This leaves you with the issue of whether you've developed something patentable. I've never been in that position so I wouldn't know, but I'm curious about how a university would respond to a student open-sourcing every piece of code they develop as they go. Academically this seems a great thing to do, but universities are commercial enterprises, and they might take a dim view.

The usual "I am not a lawyer" caveat applies to everything I've written here. I'd also strongly advise against any action that is likely to see you go up against a university's legal department, because they'd crush you :)

Because Côq is an extremely addictive tool. In French, it would be pronounced with a closed "o" reminiscent of the "o" of "coke" in English. Good for those fond of playing with words, oh geez, these lines of high quality Côq made me so happy.

We didn't mean to be arrogant with the "done right" statement. In the background story we explain how we performed the same migration once again in the past, and we end up with data loss. So this was the time that actually "did it right". Many tutorials on the Internet that describe a similar process have flows that also lead to data loss.

How to Reopen Closed Tabs in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge
We often complain about procrastinating and not meeting our goals at the end of the day even though the tasks are aligned. Sometimes, we unknowingly spend so much time on tasks that consume both our energy and time and they are not actually worth it. For instance, when we accidentally close the tabs of multiple browsers, we keep on finding hacks to reopen closed tabs to get to pages we browsed last time. It is quite overwhelming to remember and open everything from start. However, browsers give you an option to restore tabs with one click. But SmartWindows brings even a smarter solution for your Windows 10 browsers’ restorations.

MMT is not unimplementable because it's already how it works. In its major part it's a description not a policy. So, with MMT already working all these past years, inflation have been below the desire target. The poster child of MMT, in terms of monetization of debt, is Japan, and Japan has been incapable to create inflation despite wanted it desperately for many years.

>>"If it ran on autopilot then it might work, but in a democracy it won't run on autopilot."

If you listen to the MMT economist, you will see that they are big proponents of automatic stabilizers. The infamous "job guarantee program" is basically an automatic stabilizer of inflation and unemployment.
My understanding was the thesis is that paying too much attention to the news is unhelpful because newswriters (“storytellers”) don’t particularly care if what they are reporting is factually correct or not, they have different motives.

The push to penalise big corporations with pay gaps
I remember reading (and I don't have a source for this so this is total hearsay) that basically when Coq/CoC was chosen, it was chosen with the awareness of the "sounds like cock lol" factor being a plus.

This is far from the first "french mathematicians with a 10-year-old's sense of humor" thing, and probably won't be the last, but all this "oh it's just a word in French" is, from my undrestanding, bait.

To be honest, I'm not super convinced the process discussed the article is happening in much good faith either. But that's just my opinion and heavily biased towards my own experiences interacting with people from Inria.

Well of course a hello world Rust project would just compile fine since Rust 1.0, unlike my recent Rust project which broke again and that just broke on a minor version bump.

As for another ancient Rust project which was also on 1.0 when I was trying the language out, the borrow checker on 1.52.1 screeched at every line of my code.

While C++ is just as bad, the fact that Firefox must always use the latest Rust compiler gives you a hint that it will not work on lower versions; hence the need of a MSRV. (Minimum Supported Rust Version)

Games generally already involve adrenaline and focus, where you're primed for action to happen.

Unexpected road accidents typically involve someone who may not even be thinking about driving, who then have to notice the random screech, focus their eyes and process what's happening, then determine they need to immediately break, then break.

The problem with input lag isn't that human input is under 100ms, it's that too much of a gulf between input and on-screen response breaks the feedback loop - your brain struggles to connect your input alterations to an alteration actually happening. If you're throwing a ball, when you twist your wrist the ball is twisted immediately when the wrist holding it is twisted (because it's physically pinned to the hand that's physically attached to the wrist, and literally cannot be out of sync with the fingers gripping it).

It's like how VR users need under 30ms of latency or they throw up, except less drastic.
RHEL used 64k page size on aarch64 for a while. I believe we have switched back to 4k. It caused some problems, from memory:

* Blow-ups in various kernel data structures. There was some virtio code which was allocating N pages per driver queue.

* Problems with GPUs, either the driver or the firmware assumed 4k pages. (Edit: This actually affected Power, not ARM, but the issue is caused by page size: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fe...)

* Filesystems make assumptions about page size versus block size.

* Processes generally take more RAM, with RAM wasted because of internal fragmentation.

It is the very thing that is the most important aspect in this crisis. Who pays?

Quantitative easing, stimulus, bail outs, financial support, housing emergency support, vaccine and what not funding to expedite solutions. Nearly all of these are funded by the tax payer. Who for the most part hasn't yet figured that he will be paying for it for the many years to come, with little chance that the tax rates will be readjusted back to its normal level, which was already commensurate. Give me more support please, since I think money just comes from the sky.

There is going to be a point where even the last idiot will stop paying, since he won't be able to pay anyway.

When I dig into how our governments, at least in the west, are handing the economical chaos we are in now, and their ability to ignore and conceal reality, I figure there is nothing that can prevent an imminent total downfall of our current system that relies on heavy fundings of countless institutions.

It may happen gently if the authorities apply common sense. But that's not what we have elected up there. And individuals seem to be very biased, triggering their self survival pathways to get the best of a situation, at the expenses of god knows how many.

I foresee a questioning of our tax rates very soon. People won't understand why they are paying so much on one side, and realise they can't pay on the other.

I would say 90% of how ripgrep works is based on long standing Unix tooling. "Smart" filtering by default is certainly not in the Unix tradition, but to say ripgrep has nothing to do with Unix is just wrong.

To be honest, I don't really know what you're after here. It is fine to say that the "new wave" is not rooted in Unix, but that doesn't mean its inaccurate to call ripgrep a Unix tool.
