> that makes a strong implication towards a many world interpretation

You say that like it's a shortcoming. :)

There are many who take the (very reasonable) position that the many worlds interpretation is the most epistemologically parsimonious one. Contrary to some misunderstandings of it, it doesn't "add" extra worlds; it removes the concept of "wave function collapse", and leaves all the other known laws of quantum mechanics completely unchanged. The "worlds" arise naturally as more and more particles in the environment become entangled with the measured system, and "wave function collapse" turns out to be the predicted observation of an observer who is themselves made out of quantum states.

The only difference between many worlds and the "standard" Copenhagen interpretation is that Copenhagen adds that, at some point, the entanglement process stops, and a bunch of states in the wave function disappear. And it doesn't specify how, or why, or how to calculate when it will happen. Those that advocate for many worlds would point out that this extra epistemological burden is questionable, given that the correct prediction is made without it.
USSR spent a lot of resources to prevent wood fires, plenty of people worked on that. Russia significantly cut all investitions to that area, infrastructure is aging, people are untrained, corrupted and there are few of them. It's not a surprise that those fires every year are getting bigger. It'll get worse with time.

Another contributing factor is wood stealing. High-ranked officials are selling wood illegally, mostly to China and then covering missing wood with fires.

Also some laws are outright stupid. In the past local people were gathering fallen trees. Recently there were some laws which made this practice much harder, some people were even convicted for that. So people stopped to gather fallen trees. And fallen trees is another contributing factor which increases chance of putting forest on fire.
Leaving a comment is a commitment to a conversation, it's rude to just shout something and then leave.
Or maybe you give too much power to free will. Could a Maxwells demon pick the correct timing to close/open the door just by his power of free will? If your answer is yes, then free will can break the second law of thermodynamics. If your answer is no, I will ask, what about in a single small period of time? What is stopping the agent with free will from opening the door then?

I think the same thing prevents Maxwell's demon and a bell observer from having "too much free will", and that thinking of free will in terms of single point in time decisions is also wrong for similar reasons.
I think this is kind of what reiserfs did back in the day for small files. Keep them in the tree and share pages with lots of small files. It worked rather well, it's just that the file system had plenty of other issues with reliability and recovery at the time. It was vitally impotant that you didn't store any plain text disk images that contained a reiserfs partition on a reiserfs mount, fsck could decide to merge thentwo together causing unknown amounts of corruption.
Love to read about these implementation details!

We don't need arbitrary-sized integers; we need exceptions on overflow (or underflow, but I'll stick to overflow for the rest of this post) to be the default, or similar language features as appropriate.

I for one am tired of the chicken & egg issue of "CPUs don't support efficient overflow checking because nobody uses it, so it's slow" and "Overflow checking is slow because the CPU doesn't support it, so nobody uses it". For all the other good security work done in both software and hardware, much for things far more complex than this, this seems like an absolutely batshit insane oversight considering the cost/benefits for fixing this.
> Windows lifted that limit a few years ago

IIRC, its a mess because it was lifted inconsistently for different access methods (APIs, and as a consequence UI/CLI methods that depend on them), and at least for some in ways which also are or were dependent on how paths are expressed.

So it is, or at least has historically been after it was first “lifted”, a minefield of inconsistent, surprising behaviors with plenty of gotchas if you didn’t treat it as if it were still a limit.

I'll acknowledge some bias on my part as someone who has experienced more disassociative episodes (unrelated to meditation) than I care to have had but I think some of the replies here are very callous given how scarring I've found those experiences to be.

Seemingly, the author has had to endure their fair share and maybe a modicum of sympathy is warranted - at least.
The source of the conflict is that when most people in the US say “Buddhism”, they mean “Buddhism that was exported to the US in the 60s.” which was an odd combination of monastic and secularized. It’s actually a strange combo when you think about it. Most Buddhists are more like Americans on Easter Sunday.

Looks like a low-level Walmart employee makes maybe as much as $12/hr in my area. Let's say I work 25hrs a week and never take any time off, so that's $1300/mo before taxes. Average apartment rent in my area is $1341/mo according to RentCafe, but 30% of rents are below that so lets say I go with one that's only $700/mo, leaving me $500/mo. That's for food, utilities, and oh yeah, the taxes I didn't take out at the beginning of this calculation.

So yes, I could theoretically just barely scrape by until some unforeseen incident leads to job loss, then I'm fucked.

> My guess is the standard of living you want is higher than the job you have can provide on 40 hr per week. Managing lifestyle is the most controllable part of the equation

I'd like to maintain a standard of living not too much below what I have. My salary easily covers my lifestyle even with savings, Roth IRA, 401k, and mortgage. I could probably maintain my current lifestyle on less than half of my salary if only it were in any way possible to simply get half the money for half the time. Sadly the world doesn't work like that.

But your point is taken that I really shouldn't have said "even remotely livable".

First, just saying that something is legally possible does not mean that that's what occurred.

Second, this isn't something China-specific. The US Federal government also has enormous power to compel companies to cooperate in surveillance. Just recall when the US government ordered Lavabit to turn over its SSL keys, so that the government could intercept Snowden's emails.
That would be a separate infringement. Once Stockfish wins their case against ChessBase, it would likely mean easier wins on any other infringement cases.

Other way around. Just a single contributor who licensed their changes under the GPL can sue. The fact that it's a larger work doesn't matter, because each contributor's rights were infringed, so they have the right to sue.

It's probably the largest in-use uri scheme they have dropped. At the very least, there should be better error handling. For me on Chrome/Windows, ftp:// uris just don't do anything[1]. No error, they are just inoperable links. Yes, I could fix that, but for average users, that part of whatever you want to call it could just disappear silently.

[1] Because the default handler for ftp:// was originally Chrome on my system, which is pretty common. Chrome dropping it didn't change that mapping.
That would be the worst of both worlds: The overhead of storing your data in SQL, plus the overhead of filesystem search and access.

The better way to do this would be to have node access the modules in SQLite directly.
> you simply have failed as a programming language designer

That's some hubris. The C language is 49 years old. Dennis Ritchie made reasonable design decisions for the time he found himself in. I think we should be understanding of that, and the network effects that lead to large parts of the world's critical software infrastructure being implemented in C. I don't think he failed at anything.

I used to be a C developer. I know how easy it is shoot your foot off in C. I think that, arguably, as an industry we should think twice before building more big and/or critical systems in C. There are better tools now.

But we are where we are and it's important to understand how we got here. Castigating our predecessors as failures does them a disservice.
I think it's just more likely that unacknowledged trauma originated in childhood. It's certainly possible to have unacknowledged trauma as adults, but it's less common because 1) it's closer in calendar time and therefore easier to remember and 2) you are more developed and able to actually identify what is traumatic.

> This could also be interpreted as resistance to change. Would the world be better if screens had not robbed people of the sensations of holding a physical book/magazine/newspaper? If electric or gas lighting had not filled the cities with light contamination? If planes and trains weren't making so much noise? If instant messaging hadn't replaced phone conversations?

I think these are all questions that could, and perhaps should, be asked and pondered. For screens, it's not so much the sensation but what they have enabled (i.e. the dopamine hitting notifications), though there is evidence that our brain interprets text differently, less deeply, on a screen.

Likewise, I do think light pollution is bad, and perhaps we would be better if we took steps to minimize light pollution.

Same with noise pollution. I know I read that even low levels of noise pollution can heighten things like anxiety and drive a flight or fight response constantly. I for one look forward to electric vehicles in hopes that some of the noise pollution does die down, and think it will be better for many even if they don't realize it now.

Likewise, there's also evidence that interacting via messaging is robbing us of empathy, because we never hear other people's voices and learn to interpret body language cues and cue in on how others are feeling.

They're all questions that could, and should, be discussed and not just dismissed out of hand. In some respects, I truly think the Amish and the Luddites (who weren't necessarily against technology, but how it would be used and its long term cost-benefit ratio) took the correct approach to it.

It's not resistance to change, though. It's interpreting whether the benefits of that change are worth the downsides that come with it.
Somewhat related, I wrote a fuse-based file system in Rust recently that used SQLite as the backing store for file records, though not the file contents. I imagine I could use it for file content as well, so it's good to know more about its performance.

https://amoffat.github.io/supertag/
Hmmm.

SQLite is 35% faster reading and writing within a large file than the filesystem is at reading and writing small files.

Most filesystems I know are very, very slow at reading and writing small files and much, much faster at reading and writing within large files.

For example, for my iOS/macOS performance book[1], I measured the difference writing 1GB of data in files of different sizes, ranging from 100 files of 10MB to 100K files of 10K each.

Overall, the times span about an order of magnitude, and even the final step, from individual file sizes of 100KB each to 10KB each was a factor of 3-4 different.

It isn't just Windows 10, as far as I know every version of windows has always wanted to spend like a minute (or multiple minutes!) slowly counting the files before it proceeds to slowly delete them one by one... until it finds one that's open in a background process and nixes the whole operation in a half complete state. 5 times slower sounds conservative. It's awful.

Hey, maybe they could put rounded corners on the file deletion window, I bet that would fix it!
I wrote an ORM to use SQLite for serializing/persisting objects to disk (i.e. using SQLite DB as a file format).

This was one of the reasons why SQLite was an easy choice.
Absolutely not the same situation. There are numerous mentions in this very thread about industries / sectors that still heavily rely on FTP. There's hundreds of millions of dollars worth of contracts that rely on data being transferred using that protocol. This isn't people enjoying retro computing. This is day-to-day operations.
So, for a bit of perspective, as a child, I was mostly exposed to the ritualistic aspects of buddhism, which is probably the closest experience to what a westerner thinks of when thinking of "religion". Do I think that people prioritizing mindfulness to de-stress and calling it Buddhism are kinda missing the point, sure. Do I get offended that they aren't aware of the existence of things like buddhist prayers, for example? No, not really. Honestly, assuming that "bastardizing" buddhism would offend people like me seems like needless SJW-ness for its own sake, especially considering Buddhism has already been bastardized to the wazoo throughout history. </two-cents>
Even if this is true, "the industry" is made up of individual actors who stand to lose a lot in the short term by moving first.
Individuals and companies need permits from their respective governments, but the governments can launch (or permit their citizens/companies to launch) pretty much anything they want that does not disrupt other countries spacecraft and does not fall on their land. They can also deny permits for any arbitrary reasons, though multinational companies might seek another "flag nation" in that case.
I think this is a bad idea - many URLs are encoded as ftp still, e.g. when downloading tarballs, zips and such - does this mean clicking on an FTP URL now will require launching an external ftp app instead of downloading the file? I'm ok if FTP browsing is suspended through the browser, but abandoning FTP altogether in the browser is a bad idea. It's an old protocol and still very useful, albeit not in its unencrypted state maybe, but it does do a good job of what it's supposed to - namely, transfer files.
IANAL, but the publication of the work is when the copyright timer starts under the '76 act IIRC. However, and this is a big however, because the (re)publisher is not the artist and the pre '76 act did not have automatic default copyright; there is a VERY good argument that it's either public domain or falls under Arkansas local copyright law (which I don't know anything about). I'd say the heirs have a tenuous federal claim at best (again, not a lawyer). But they may have better luck in state court due to common law rulings. Either way it's likely to turn into an expensive hot mess.
And Australia? And multiple state and federal fires in the US?

Maybe there is a common underlying cause that isn't just "mismanagement"?

There will be an inevitable crash/failure resulting in a mass casualty event where many industries will lose their leaders (the only people that could afford a spaceflight for fun), and that's very bad for PR and could sink the whole company as a result.

I just checked my Windows 10 machine and it still has the FTP command-line program built in. What proportion of machines have Firefox but no FTP command-line program (or a "finder"/"explorer" that doesn't support FTP)? I cannot imagine this number is large.
The difference is, all your examples aren't unavoidable. I still own and can buy physical books. There are plenty of places without urban light pollution, as well as places without planes and trains. I can still make phone calls, and do so every day.

There is only one night sky, and when you put satellites in it they go everywhere. The remotest-living luddite bookworm will still have to see the satellites overhead.

The better analogy you should be making is (Assuming American here) do you really miss the old growth forests and wild areas that were leveled to make room for your cities and agriculture?" And the answer is, yes obviously! That's why we have national parks. But unlike with wildlife, the sky cannot be partially conserved. It's all or nothing unless all the satellites are geosynchronous. And I guarantee they won't be.
You were making an argument about choice though when there's not really a choice to avoid binding arbitration clauses. It's not just an internet company thing most contracts include a BA clause because arbitration is generally favorable to businesses. Amazon is only removing it because someone figured out they could cost Amazon a lot of money in arbitration filing fees by taking essentially a whole class action suit into the arbitration system.
