Yep, atomics was implemented earlier but, as far as I know, they was patented and only after patent expired Intel put them in. So, how many years it take to "popularize" atomics ? Ten, 20 years ?
That's right, I had never realized those existed. They could be a good way to teach people how to pronounce geminated sounds.
This is a very careful way of trying to say markets and capitalism do not work -- all without trying to offend anyone.

Either protecting your culture against foreign influences (the Japanese way) or pursing profit above all else (the US way) are rational or irrational per se, they just represent different value systems.
English is also unusually flexible, something I noticed abroad. In English you can do ridiculous wrong things and still create something that a skilled listener can easily understand. Subject and verb all you know? Eh, I can guess from context.

Try putting the subject and verb in the wrong order in Japanese or forget your counter particle for a particular kind of counting and you just get blank stares.

I think that English, for its many faults, is at least extremely error tolerant in terms of it being possible to say something that's comprehensible enough dozens of ways and often with words practically in random order. It's probably the most amazing thing about English to me, although I only know a few other languages they are much more strict.
What does the (mis)management of a public infrastructure project have to do with Germany's attractiveness as a base for manufacturing?
Because an array is a list of scalar, and an hash a map of scalars. If you want to access a scalar inside the list, you write $a[1], which means "the scalar at the first position of list @a". If it was @a[1] it would have been inconsistent, because then a @ expression would have returned a scalar and not a list.

I find the further off the "main path" you go, the easier it is to find incorrect papers.

In particular, I found a few papers which claim to provide algorithms which solve some problem. If there is no evidence the algorithm was ever implemented, there is a distribingly good chance it doesn't work -- I used to sometimes give such papers as projects for students, but now I always start on day 1 saying "Be prepared for this to be wrong".
This is a good advice but on gov level. Governments don't need to be anti car, they just need to stop being pro car and incentivise their use. Stop subsidies, stop tax benefits for both users/producers, stop building new roads, stop turning free spaces into parking lots etc. and be pro something else.

Just make 99% of the car traffic infeasible (slow, expensive...) and market will come up with alternative ways to make 99% of activities that today require a car feasible without them.
Genuinely curious why Germany's position is excellent for chip production?
And why exactly is the bare storage of these not encrypted? I would expect, at the very least, that the data is encrypted using customer-specific keys.

I wouldn't say Teslas Brandenburg factory shows a problem with red tape per se, but it does show that ignoring it won't save you time in Germany.

Also, salaries usually only account for low single digit percentages of opex in high tech production, so ready availabilty of the needed specialists is probably more important.
I don't understand this attitude. Where did we go wrong as a discipline where making products that actually work is such an outlandish proposition? No other consumer product industry would talk like this.

There is no person more diverse than another one. You cannot discriminate that by skin color without being racist.
You can find these exaggerations in Shakespeare and Jane Austen.

The authors need to understand the difference between rhetoric and factual reporting.

It's not unusual to say "This is the worst thing in the world" to make a point without believing that it literally is absolutely the worst thing in the entire history of human experience.
I’ve found that when it comes to their cars, people seem to get offended very easily (at least in my part of the U.S.). Case in point: I suggested physical traffic-calming solutions for my neighborhood in order to combat excessive speeding, and a community member said, “We don’t live in communist China.”
My first thought was Spirit Island, which to be fair, the author mentions at the end of the article.

Spirit Island turns the table on colonialism. While the island gets invaded by the Europeans, the player gets takes the role of supernatural spirits that must defend the island against the colonializers.

I've never had trouble downloading age-restricted videos using youtube-dl. So it's worth a shot using it to access the video that way. I think with mpv + youtube-dl you can alternatively watch the video directly.
I think people forget that youtube is just one of literally hundreds of tube sites out there.

There's a lot of exciting innovation in the space and every day there's more and more niche orientated sites.

Bitchute, WTV, Rumble, Odysee, Joshwhotv, brandnewtube etc etc.

If Youtube wants to enforce this everyone will migrate to other services.
> You don't see how running any code you want on a device is less secure than restricting the kind of code that you can run?

Who's Apple to decide what I consider to be secure or not in my own free will, on my device? It's like saying that guys from Ford have the right to chime in whenever they want and tell me I can't drive my Ford-branded car to a given supermarket chain.
I have to agree with the first comment: Speaking as someone who was a tech trainer and writer of course materials, tutorial, etc. for a couple of decades, if ``carge-edit`` is not core to what you're trying to teach, leave it out. Get your own desires (ego) out of the way, and stick to teaching what you need to teach. Leave the distractions/side-tracks/proselytising to a separate lesson. You think of the lesson as "Giving a Working Knowledge of Rust"? Great! Then title it accordingly and don't dress it up in "futures" camouflage -- you're doing your readers/learners a disservice.

Many, many tutorials make this mistake.
ha! I guess you haven't worked as a designer or verification engineer, designing chips then? let me tell you: you work with a commitee-designed c++ like abomination language with 300 non-composible keywords that make no freaking sense. all of that crap grew from legacy-upon-legacy of crutches as an attempt to fix the goddamn broken-by-design verilog. Ultimately, this craplanguage + library that is 90% non-debuggable macros, works only with ~3 vendor simulators (all 3 would do different stuff on big designs and you are locked almost forever). When you simulate you designs, most of external components would be either encrypted blackboxes or be calling "magic" functions (called system tasks) that are absultely opaque to you and do some global side-effects. All of this multiplied by the fact that every statement is executed in parallel in your huge design and evolves in time.
Oh, did I mention how crappy the actual tools are? Think of 90's era with outdated and moronic UI/UX, some poorely integrated quasi-TCL interpreter for configuration & ability to crash that tool in <3 clicks. Ah, you will be paying 15kUSD/year per license, thank you very much. You will be needing lots of them (> 50).

You can also tell that the article was written by a mathematician by noticing that the author is Bill Thurston, a very famous mathematician, who we sadly lost a couple of years ago. He was amazing. I guess it never would have occurred to me to identify the writing style as mathematician-like in its own right, since I was expecting it to be what it was.
We spent a lot of money on solar, lots of German companies started to fill the demand, the Chinese came in and dumped prices, Germany decided not to import-tax -> lots of German tax payer money spent on installing solar power, but all the German solar companies were priced out of the market by Chinese companies.

Basically, Germany built Chinas solar industry, let our own die.
It's fine to be anti car, I think the "concession" you do need to make is that the context is really important, I live in the middle of a busy city that really suffers from traffic problems

When I'm talking about pedestrianising or bike lanes or e-scooters etc it's from the perspective of a busy city that does not have enough room for cars

It's important to acknowledge that most car alternatives are not an option for people like farmers or people who live out in the sticks and so people in the country are typically not who I'm talking about when talking about anti car ideas
Apple's next 72 hours, if not when this popped up years ago, will define their deliberate, public choice for how they're going to handle this.

I can imagine their forum censorship getting enough visibility to see more scrapers archiving posts for useful facts and truths. How sad does that sound for the company that thought different?

It escapes me why the execs are playing like this during such a defining moment in their company history. R2R cannot come soon enough.
I would also like that, but its highly unlikely :) Saxony is actively pushing towards becoming "Silicon Saxony". Munich established itself as a design hub.

Oh, QNX [0]! That was such a great OS, and quite advanced for the times (microkernel, realtime, userland was POSIX complaint etc).

I remember I tried QNX Neutrino sometime in the first half of the 2000's, and it literally booted from a 1.44MB floppy into a UI (Photon), and had a working browser and everything needed to setup an internet connection (back then, this included dialup related stuff).

Of all OSes that could have been, this is the one I am most upset about not succeeding. I know it still exists in some forms, but it's pretty much fringe.

I don't think Japanese IME is difficult. You just type the word as it is pronounced.

Typing on a smartphone is more difficult because the keyboard has only 10 keys for characters and you have to tap a key and slide up/down/left/right to chose one of 4 characters.

Sure, if a technological solution like a vaccine gets developed I'd be optimistic (cold fusion?). But I currently estimate the probability of that really low.

What made me pessimistic about climate change w.r.t. COVID-19 was that most countries only did something once the population was sufficiently affected, even when the consequences of doing nothing were perfectly clear and immediate. W.r.t. climate change most countries won't be affected much or it will be hard to attribute to climate change and the consequences will be hard to predict and delayed.

COVID-19 was the easiest case of a global tragedy of the commons problem and we failed w.r.t. to a globally coordinated solution. Climate change is much harder. Doesn't give me much cause for optimism.
You are being dishonest here by implying people in the Netherlands do not have cars. Since you chose to make a claim without presenting any numbers I'll do it for you.

The Netherlands has about 499 motor vehicles per 1000 people. That's about 38% fewer cars per capita than the US, but it still in the top 30 countries in the world and it is about 12% lower than the european average.

Your statement is, at best, grossly misleading.
There's one thing that car sharing proponents still seem to miss, even on HN, which is interesting, HN being a community where everyone apparently runs Arch with i3, vim and custom dotfiles on a Thinkpad.

My car is MY car. There is no more dust or dirt in it than in my living room. The cabin filter has been recently replaced and there is no mold in the condenser. I know the single other person who drives it an exactly how she drives it. The brake pads are okay. The steering is okay. The wishbone bushings are okay and the car won't pull anywhere even under heavy braking. I've driven this car for thousands of kilometers and hundreds of hours, fast and slow, in rain and snow. If I ever need to evade an obstacle doing 130 kph on a highway in a split second, just by muscle memory, without flipping the car over and hurting myself or my girlfriend, I want it to be in this car.

People die driving cars. Cars are heavy machinery (!) operated by mostly incompetent, distracted, sometimes aggressive clothed monkeys and as long as this is true, I simply refuse to drive a vehicle I know nothing about and can't rely on.

I'm not even going to mention covid, thank god for my own car.

(Btw I do use shared cars for short trips around the city and the cars, despite being almost brand new, are mostly dirty poor banged up things driven like fucking go karts by other people.)
I'm pretty sure that there is still quite some bad code out there that I posted to code-snippet websites when I was ~13 :/

So here's some advice I wish someone had given me back then:

Please try to at least read and understand OWASP top ten security risks¹ before writing applications that anyone actually uses. Also please be aware that you can write insecure code in any general purpose language. Most of the bad PHP code is around because it was a popular language with hobbyists, similiar to Javascript and Python today. Languages might be better (or worse) in certain aspects but they still can't protect you from bugs in your programs logic. Only diligent planning, understanding of best practises and proper communication can help prevent those.

I would like to see the foundation put their enormous investment into making a product that works correctly.

If that's too much to ask, then they really ought to be more public and forthcoming about the fact that Signal is not actually private or secure.
Germany entered a subsidy bidding war with China and eventually decided it's not worth the extreme skewing of the market and pulled out. This had the consequences that solar panels are now manufactured in China. IDK but from my point of view, solar panels are more dependent on salaries than chip manufacturing is.

This is why I don't consume podcasts. If it's worth saying, then it's worth making a transcript, which I can skim (or top-and-tail) in a tenth of the time it takes to listen to the whole thing.

Popehat was a blog that I used to visit regularly. Then Ken decided he was too busy to write, and most of his content is now some unscripted podcast - the blog now gets maybe a couple of posts a year, apart from the links to his podcasts.
Most people do live in large densely populated cities. That is the thing about large areas with high population density - it means there are a lot of people there.

> you must acknowledge ... the non-trivial delta between it and what you suggest.

Yeah, it would be radical change. People aren't give up their cars by choice. But people didn't give up smoking because of their personal health concerns.

If the argument is to get rid of cars then I'm with the thread ancestor - it is better to be direct about what you want. A cars-lite future is not only possible, it is reasonable and even likely. Electric cars are not cheap and it seems optimistic to say that the grid will support them any time soon. Maybe hydrogen will work out, but these alternatives are all fundamentally uncertain technologies.

You haven't seen my software (which is easy to do. Just look at my HN handle). It's pretty easy to maintain.

In fact, the gist of what I just wrote, is that I deliberately avoid trendy and fancy, in favor of Quality and maintainability.

Additionally, high Quality code tends to need less maintenance.

New Research Finds Time Spent Among Trees May Help Kids' Brains Grow and Develop
This is true. I was always anti-smart phone and anti-social media. As well as being anti buying anything unnecessary. My car is 40 years old. But now my modest positions seem at odds with the holier than thou PC police, who indulge in all of the above and yet somehow feel morally superior enough to 'splain to me why no one should drive a car. This all goes back to not approaching people by telling them what you're against, because it makes even the most righteous person come off as a hypocrite.

Labor laws would still be sort of OK for a high-tech factory like TSMC.

But I think environmental policy would be really hostile to a large fab. Politics seems really fickle about it too. For "old school" industries like coal they try to bend over backwards to make exceptions, but when it comes to new players especially local politics will have little reservations to tanking your multi million dollar projects.

This can obviously be a huge benefit to the population, but if I were in the position to choose a location I'd factor that in heavily.

How a sudden stratospheric warming affected the Northern Hemisphere
Germany is a great place to invest. So is most of Western Europe. The #1 thing you are looking for is _stability_ and a good engineering job market. Both is available.

If you find this sort of analysis interesting, the UK's Rail Accident Investigation Branch publishes reports into all serious incidents on the UK railway system – with the main focus on identifying ways to prevent similar accidents in the future.
