This doesn't deserve the downmods; when one assumes good faith all we have here is a straightforward question.

Here is the answer; When you wish to provide a library that you intend for use in diverse applications[1] -- and OpenSSL is a excellent example of exactly this case -- you cannot choose a language with a complex runtime. Go has a complex runtime. There is no getting around this; any non-trivial software implemented in Go will require a number of runtime facilities and accommodating that becomes a burden for the library user.

Rust has about the same runtime burden as C/C++. It links the same way as C/C++ and imposes the minimum possible burden on the library user.

Put tape over the downward facing camera on almost any quadcopter and you'll soon find out why...

It turns out sideways drift accumulates very quickly - and so quickly that unless you are a very practiced drone operator its very hard to compensate for by hand.

GPS compensates somewhat, but obviously that isn't available on mars (or indoors).
Not sure why there's so much hate in the comments. Having done a lot of improv myself, imo these are very insightful, non-typical parallels that I hadn't considered before. Also really enjoyed the overview of Ries vs. Rabois and references. Sure it's on a company blog, but the content seems like a valuable contribution to me.
They really are. I’m reminded of George Miller, who created and directed the Mad Max movies. Those movies are about how cars are terrifying death machines that shred human bodies. Miller said he was “inspired” after working several years as an ER doctor, seeing the damage firsthand.
There is a pretty decent description of the problem here: https://physicscentral.com/explore/writers/will.cfm

I'm also not an expert so I don't know if you can solve it with syncing. Maybe you can. But that doesn't sound like a "just" concept to me - any solution to this is going to be complicated.

If it became a fully integrated state then maybe. But Puerto Rico is routinely excluded from all sorts of "baselines" sadly (so are other non-state territories).

I sadly doubt the US (at the time still refusing to give black people the vote) would have welcomed a state filled with Asians, made of 4000+ Islands. The islands have over 100m people, so they'd basically decide federal elections, plus that's a lot of people to suddenly have to bring up to baseline.
Once or twice a year I get a nasty case of hiccups that lasts 2-3 hours. Usually after a day spent wine tasting. How strange…

- Fort St. Vrain, US[1]. High temperature gas cooled reactor. Operated for 12 years. Corrosion problems. Converted to natural gas.

- AVR reactor, Germany.[2] Pebble bed reactor. Had a pebble jam. Not repairable. Most fuel removed. Pressure vessel remains on site, with hope of full decommissioning in a century or so.

There's a small reactor of this design working at a university in China, and a medium sized one one (200MW electrical output) is supposed to come on line this year. We'll see how that works out.

Boring old boiling water and pressurized water reactors have simplicity in the radioactive part, and water is easy to handle. Designs that involve moving pellets or chemical processing of radioactive fluids add much complexity to a system that is very hard if not impossible to repair. The track record of such reactors is not good.

Reactive paradigm programming seems to have handled this problem is a satisfactorily functional way. But these higher reactive layers are almost always built on Von Neumann paradigm languages like JavaScript. So long as bare metal looks more like a Turing machine than a Church calculus we will struggle to take functional paradigm from top to bottom.

You're just looking at the marketing speak from the new design language.

When thinking about design systems, there are few different levels and you speak about different ones depending on who you are talking to. For me it breaks down something like this, going from high-level to low-level:

Design Philosophy - Marketing (what you posted)

Design Principles - Designers / UX (accessible, minimal, emotion)

Design Language - Designers / UX (red is used to denote danger)

Design Library - Designers / UX / Engineers (ButtonPrimary color = blue, ButtonDanger color = red)

Design Implementation - Engineers (<ButtonDanger>Cancel</ButtonDanger>)
When I was a Ph.D. student (mid 2000s), I was very in tune with my sub-sub-field, and would attend at least some of the key conferences and actively monitor the key journals for anything not already on my radar. Plus I was in a research group with 20 other people so things i missed easily came up in discussions.

Now I'm much more of a generalist, and because I work in ML instead of niche physics, there is a whole lot more to go through. So mostly I don't: I get a few newsletters that let me select new papers I'm interested in, and my work takes me down rabbit holes that result in deep-ish rabbit holes where I do the usual find some key papers based on google search and then go through the references (and citations) to get more papers in that area.

Otherwise, I find that the gap is very small between when something new comes out and when it's rolled into some of the common frameworks e.g
Pytorch lightning- although that's discipline specific obviously. Come to think of it, I also look at papers with code, the benchmarks section, to see what the state of the art for different datasets is. And if I have time I look through accepted papers at the key conferences.

Anyway, if i had to summarize (my experience only): researcher -> go to as many conferences and talk to as many people as you can; practitioner -> don't worry about missing this week's buzz, and dig in as required.
RAAS, Ransomware As A Service
I walk around a cemetery as part of my daily walk when I let my mind wander. Two big topics in my town are real estate and reconciliation with aboriginal people. Something about this giant plot of land covered in European names just seems so strange.
They do like mentioning The Art Of Medicine when it's not a simple ailment, or treatment failure. And I get it.

It might be the only profession I know of that can still bill though. They make sure they are paid.

I do get the difficulty of the profession. I know most treatments are Placebo cures. It's a weird profession. Or, we still know very little, especially ailments that affect the brain.
I also use Aerons exclusively. Used they are only around $600-700, and they do last a very long time. I have worn out some of the arm rests but there are replacement parts available cheaply on ebay, which is nice.

The warranty is only for the original purchaser and is nontransferrable, AIUI.
What you are describing matches my impression of things. It has been on the back burner because even if we had a great memory safe version of, say, openbgpd, I am not sure that would have particularly widespread impact. You are probably right that we would need to convince Cisco and friends to move to memory safe code.
I blocked every domain in the article on my firewall and then fired up Brave. None were requested. Not sure what to believe now.
Also note that kovarex tries to engage with the critics (or fans the flames) in the reddit thread, although most of his comments have been downvoted hard (hard for me to say whether he is being cancelled/brigaded - I don’t do reddit).
I can see how this design might isolate allocated resources, but how does this design prevent a malicious agent from just requesting all free resources and DoS'ing the system other than by having a fully pre-allocated static configuration?
>no nation state needs ransom money. Easier ways for a government to get money; namely, just print some

Sure, this is obvious, makes intuitive sense, except...it explains why something like Iran-Contra or the equivalent in other countries can't happen.
Oh wow. I never knew that was a thing. When I was 6 or 7, I decided to make the most disgusting sandwich I could think to make. I ended up "inventing" a PB&M on white bread.

I was pretty disappointed as it wasn't too bad.
The data corruption approach is devious and something I hadn't considered, but I also feel like it eliminates much of an attacker's advantage. The more extensive the corruption, the more likely it will draw attention, possibly to the ransomware itself, so an attacker would want to keep this to a minimum. In turn, a victim would probably choose to live with minor data corruption over paying a ransom, or at least I'd expect the payout threshold to greatly diminish vs the scenario where 100% of the data is held hostage.

The number of times I have aborted a form because some incompletable entry is "required" is almost certainly an unreported stat :)

> The problem is when you communicate, you always do it with state and not functions.

I'm not sure that's true. A "callback" is way of communicating with a function as the message. Callbacks are a way for systems to communicate while hiding their implementation details. (One could argue that the callback itself is a first-order object -- a piece of state -- but nonetheless we are communicating with state and functions then.)
Any idea how the warranty works if you bought the chair slightly used from someone else? I know it was originally bought from an authorized reseller, but I'm not the original purchaser. Their warranty support page is a bit cryptic on this topic.
these were the primary arguments in Congress against admitting Hawaii into the union as a state until some routine "support my other bill I'll support that bill" all the way till 1959

I got a Herman Miller Mirra from an office liquidator at the beginning of lock-down and love it. Although I spend most of my day working at a standing desk. I love the chair so much that I would probably pay full price for it, or look around for a reasonable reseller. I like that it doesn't have a pad. I've also heard good things about the other models they have.
Networking vendors who know what they're doing literally put gear into ovens for extended periods as part of the DVT phase of testing, and put outdoor gear like cellular antennas/ptp wireless/ptp optical into stress environments prior to manufacturing. This again seems like the typical Musk venture, like the Tesla non-automative screens, where they didn't seemingly talk to anyone in the industry.
Here is another reason why this is a bad idea:

Right now Rust toolchain is not stable enough for something we will use the next 30 years.

> Better to spread the compost somewhere they already grow (like Oregon) and collect seasonally.

Different species of psychedelic mushrooms have been found in almost all of the contiguous United States and Hawai'i. It used to be thought that the PNW and Southeast US were the only places they grew in the US, but new native species have been discovered in the last 20 years, and some of them are actually quite common, prolific and apparently potent.
To be pedantic, is not a contradiction. Is a sign of problem with the design? Probably! Most likely!

But the relational model CAN'T say it. The normal forms are properties of the way you can do the design, but can't go that Deep.

In other words: You can adhere 100% on SOLID OOP principles and your code is still conceptually wrong!

If pay attention to the article, his issue is that people latches on the apparent definition of 1st normal form, but misunderstanding it and probably coming to the wrong conclusion about how make the tables...
It would be funny if they couldn't cite an endless stream of evidence for their argument. They can, however.

And it's not going to stop. That's the thing about the memory safety argument; the people making it have an endless supply of ammunition, resupplied daily.

I don't think we will ever see Xcode for iPad, IMO this is another step in getting rid of both Xcode and objective-c. The last 4 years Apple has been releasing more Swift only frameworks.Sooner or later I expect Playground's to morph in SwiftCode and end up on the Mac too.
I'm pretty sure any one of Amazon, Google or Facebook has more Linux servers than there are Windows server in the world.

Either C++98 is 16 years after it debuted, or it has only been 6 years since Rust appeared. You can't tweak both these timelines in opposite directions and claim to be comparing anything.

By 1985 C++ has a published book describing the language (which I still own somewhere, it's terrible) and a commercial implementation as well as Stroustrup's code.

While in June 2011 Rust isn't even "pre-alpha" and is just learning how to bootstrap.
It's the worst. It only shows a few comments so 99% of the time you would need to load the normal page anyway. It also messes with the way Google indexes the date of the page, so the date of the page according to Google is almost always wrong for old threads.
This is nuts. I didn't even know this would be possible.

I can't remember -- does Super Mario World have any "single-room" fixed-width gameplay areas? I mean, it must, right?

I'm wondering how they addressed those, since making any room wider would change gameplay. I also can't help but wonder if being able to see a little bit further to the right would ever make anything easier? Or is the distance forward (to the right) fixed to the same value, so you're mostly just getting more visibility into where you've already passed?

The video and GitHub repo don't seem to explain it. But I'm now super curious...
Or we should just get past the FOMO and let some stuff unclicked and focus on things interesting for us.
That's just unbelievable on the face of it.
Yes. The problem for them is that times have changed.

I'm getting a bit off topic here, but if you haven't heard about it yet, you might be interested in https://ferrous-systems.com/ferrocene/.

Some quotes from the linked page:

> Ferrocene is a sustainable effort led by Critical Section GmbH, a newly formed Ferrous Systems subsidiary, tasked with making Rust a first-class language for mission and safety-critical systems. Ferrocene produces a qualified Rust compiler toolchain. General availability is expected by the end of 2022.

And also:

> Ferrocene is a vehicle for a versioned Rust and MIR specification, paired with automated verification of Rust semantics. These "runnable specs" give developers in mission-critical and high-security environments a sound, proven, and addressable foundation for building critical libraries, analysis tools, and further system assurances.

And also:

> Critical Section will maintain designated legacy versions of the Rust toolchain and supporting utilities. This support includes backporting fixes of critical language and standard library issues (performance bugs, unsoundness, security) and maintaining key rustc targets, including test cases and platform-specific testing.

And finally:

> Ferrocene is a principled project with much work ahead, requiring cross-industry collaboration and continuous feedback. It has support from crucial industry partners and subject experts, and we're building a thoughtful community.

> Right now, Ferrous Systems and Critical Section are calling for additional partners to join this effort. We're currently looking for partners from diverse industries
I’ve been trying to tell people this. It’s always met with ridicule
It's not that easy to hoard when you have less than one competent engineer in the company and have to contract out to some vendor to build the data lake where they can hoard it.

Hoarding itself is beyond the sophistication of most service providers in the present day.
You don't need a "network kill switch" with wiregaurd, you might be using the openVPN option which mullvad also provide for compatibility. Because wiregaurd is stateless you don't have to worry about stuff leaking through while physical layers go up and down, you can just leave the wg interface up and keep hoping around safely... I literally haven't taken my current wg connection down in days, yet my computer is put to sleep every night.

If you use Linux you don't even need an app (not Firefox's or Mullvad's), you can just pop one of the wiregaurd configs (mullvad.net can generate them for you) into /etc/wiregaurd and then use the super simple wg-quick cli interface to bring it up. You can also tell systemd to bring up a specific interface at startup with one line.
This principle seems like it extends far beyond site traffic, especially since something like life satisfaction is much harder to measure.
I understand that money goes in through the advertisers: But how is that money sufficient to maintain the current websites?

You watch fewer ads than before, which means (if the ads pay the same) that each website gets on average (i.e. if the split is the same as before) less money. As you describe it, only 70% of the ad-revenue actually reaches the user, meaning even if you watch the same amount of ads, websites get 30% less money, and that ignores that many people just opt-out of ads. (BTW do you know where that 30% go to?)

> The blockchain enables users to effortlessly and anonymously participate.

That actually makes sense. But if you want to get money out of BAT, don't you have to pay a transaction fee? And if you don't, then how does Uphold make any money to pay their developers?

For me it seems that there's money vanishing at every point and very little or nothing to replace it.

Also, wouldn't brave have a quasi-monopoly on ads in this configuration? Even if brave is an honorable company (and I have no reason to doubt that), it makes me uneasy to know that we are breeding another potential "too-big-to-fail" giant like Facebook/Amazon/Google.

Edit:

Rereading your comment again and noticing the "users can distributed bought BAT directly" part: Then the monetization system makes a little more sense. Do you have stats on how much people are paying in? Is the ultimate goal to get rid of ads entirely or at least shift over to a "pay for what you use" model? In that case I can understand that. (though the monopoly on website monetization part still makes me kind of uneasy)
I mean map which companies use this SME acronym and which don't, similar to how "soda", "pop", and "coke" map to different regions of the USA.
Yes, I did. Also, I did not sign up for HBO MAX; but did subscribe to the old HBO once upon a time. So they are using user data from the past.
Not only does Microsoft offer comprehensive support packages for their products, but in fact the TCO of a Windows Server system is almost always lower than a Linix system while also having the better user productivity. Considering this, any business that is serious about digital transformation would do well to indeed reach for Microsoft’s portfolio.

Of course it‘s easy to make up statistics to show that the OS made by some Sovjet hacker in his mother’s basement (probably using lots of stolen MS IP) is supposedly more popular than the products made in the US by a reputable firm such as Microsoft, but who is going to believe that?
It's a dark pattern that was successfully imposed on us.
I enjoyed the wit and sense of humor of this piece. I have a serious medical condition and, yeah, perspective and priorities change after your life gets hit by a truck, whether literally or metaphorically.

It can be hard to convey what that's like and that there are bad things but also sometimes good comes out of it and you can choose to embrace the good parts of it and amplify them while continuing to try to resolve the very real problems you have been left with.

For me, this was a good read.
It used to work great but over time more and more threads are broken and cannot be viewed in old reddit, for example the poll threads, or the prediction threads, or threads with inline images mixed with texts.
I’m hoping if I ask enough someone will figure it out for me.
When I worked at my old shop I blew out 3 different CD changer stereos and two sets of speakers. One of them even ended up slightly catching on fire...well it was smoking anyway...The machines were really loud, you needed to crank that shit if you wanted to hear it...also I learned that you can't plug 3 sets of speakers into a single one of those things.
Personally I got over that long ago; the style itself just irks me to see. I left Facebook to get away from attention-economy junk and am sad to see it show up here.
Why do you need paid support for your OS?
I might agree with you generally, but the more I learn about power generation the harder the problem looks. A power grid requires balancing load with a higher degree of precision than you might think, and not just total sums, but also in different areas of the grid.

‘Ideally’ people would be paying spot pricing, so they’d be incentivized to ration properly. But we saw how well that worked out for the people doing that during Texas’ winter storm.

Now if everyone paid spot pricing eventually we’d have lots of smart outlets shutting off all but the most important power consumers in a house, and it wouldn’t be as big an issue to pay spot pricing, you could be asleep and know that only the refridgerator and thermostat are going to blow up your bill.

I don’t see a system like remote thermostat adjustment being an absolutely horrible solution to the general problem, when used sparingly and treated as the failure that it us, so it’s not relied on. Particularly when the alternative might be a total blackout. I’m not sure, but I suspect this might also be preferrable to rolling brownouts.
Then you hire the services of brokers that don't have the same compunctions about transacting in crypto. And even if you were to magically erase all cryptocurrency from the earth, it wouldn't still stop ransomware, or the same state sponsored actors would gravitate towards even worse things.

It's like nobody has learned a thing from the war on drugs, my point being: you deal with the root cause of the disease (infosec in most companies and even government offices is a joke and bad people have taken notice), not playing whack-a-mole with the symptoms (crypto use) that hint towards systemic decay.
