Are those not the same statement?

Unless you're relying on it being computationally infeasible, but I'm not sure we know enough to consider that true at this point. Usually when we make statements on those grounds we do so with substantial proof. I don't think we know enough to do so here. I'm not even sure how feasible it is when you throw DL into the mix.

If the new bride (14yo) can read such a book then she is not a peasant. If the family owns a book then they are several tiers up again. Anyone reading this book therefore has at least one servant. If they do, that servant may well be a child even younger than the new bride (12yo). Such a person definitely cannot read. This is a book for the master or lady of a 14th century household speaking to their servant. Mansplaining is expected.

Is it actually true that endless loops are undefined behavior? This statement does not make sense at face value. I am aware that sometimes UB is used to throw away code, but is an endless loop really UB? Anyway, compiling while(true); in g++ with -O4 just yields a program that runs forerver....

Dealing with space debris doesn't require individual action from hundreds of millions of people though. It requires the governments of eleven countries with orbital launch capabilities (counting the ESA as one) to work together.
> Knee-jerk virtue signalling is not a sign of a good historian

The author isn't and never claimed to be a historian. Their bio on Atlas Obscura says "I'm a senior editor and writer at Atlas Obscura, bee steward, mead maker and veteran of karaoke in Antarctica."
NYC (esp. Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn) is pretty exceptional in the US with respect to there being no expectation of car ownership. You can get by in other cities out of school (especially given app-enabled rides, Zipcar, etc.) but the general expectation is car ownership.

As for housing, it's perfectly normal to rent for a while until you know you want to settle down in a location for an extended period of time.
I'm aphantasic, and I'd say one advantage is that I'm not bothered by invasive vivid memories or anxiety inducing imagery. Just on a hunch, I think aphantasics are probably less likely to develop PTSD after trauma, as a big component of PTSD appears to be just this kind of pervasive, invasive and hyper-vivid memories. I sometimes feel that I'm missing out on something, but from experiences on psychedelics, which give me closed-eye visuals of geometric shapes and colors which don't go away until the effects pass, I think I prefer the still black void and relative mental silence (apart from the soundless inner monologue) of aphantasia to a 'richer' inner world that I'm not able to shut off. Would be happy to get other aphantasics' (as well as hyperphantasics at the other end of the spectrum) perspective on this
Subheading is less clickbaity: Meet Beornus honeyi — but you can call him Beorn.

And the paragraph that explains it:

"I have always been a huge Tolkien fan, and there is a long-standing tradition of naming early Paleocene mammals after Tolkien characters," Madelaine Atteberry, a researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of a new study on B. honeyi and its relatives, told Live Science in an email. "I chose Beornus honeyi because of the large size and 'inflated' appearance of its teeth compared to the other mammals from this time period."
Well, first of all, Collatz isn't one of the millenium problems.

Secondly, as others have already explained, endless loops are UB and optimized away, but, thirdly, even if they weren't, C++ integers are more like Z/nZ than Z and checking if Collatz holds in Z/nZ is rather trivial.
Yes, you can do virtually everything mentioned in my blog with Emacs, especially since you can run almost any console command in it (also ncurses ones with M-x ansi-term). I deliberatley tried to avoid Emacs so as not to go to far of topic. I am toying with the idea of writing an Emacs Desktop Howto though ;)
Might seem trivial, but this popular post about technical interview anxiety, "Interviewing for the anxious programmer": https://archive.is/zRFN3

It was extremely comforting to me at a time where I was suffering from depression, and jobless -- struggling to obtain employment as a Software Engineer 2 years out of college. Most of what the blogpost described was immediately relatable. It gave me some peace of mind knowing that I was not alone.

I still suffer from intense anxiety during technical interviews, but I no longer have an existential crisis about it or feel guilty for not being able to whiteboard well.

What are the barriers here? As sophisticated as automobiles have become I don't see them needing bleeding edge 5nm fabs.

Hmm, doesn't that connect your local Docker client to the remote Docker daemon? My goal isn't "don't SSH to the machine" specifically, but "don't have state on the machine that isn't tracked in a repo somewhere", and this seems like it would fail that requirement.
> Instead of using honey I’d extracted and strained the modern way, however, I crushed some comb taken from a colony that had unfortunately not survived winter—the bees’ lasting legacy would be to provide honey close to what was available in the 14th century, including the occasional stray leg or wing.

Sounds like this stuff really is the bee's knees.
you'll notice I also blamed congress for effectively being bribed to allow this to happen. The government's job should be to prevent stupidity like this from happening, Department of Defense at the very least should have been sounding the horn of how our supply chain issues are national security issues

plenty of people have been warning for decades how the reliance on manufacturing from other countries could have major consequences. The fact that a small island like Taiwan is probably the most important geo-political issue in the world could have been prevented with a little bit of long term planning
Interestingly this seems like a pretty popular problem to solve.

I made a similar thing recently as well, although with the goal to handle ingress and monitoring out the box as well, whilst still able to run comfortably on a small box.

I took a fairly similar approach, leveraging docker-compose files, and using a single data directory for ease of backup (although it's on my to-do list to split out conf/data).

If there was a way to get a truly slim and easy to setup k8s compatible environment I'd probably prefer that, but I couldn't find anything that wouldn't eat most of my small servers ram

I agree that some people might under/over-estimate their abilities.

However, I am not sure if drawing is the right way to test it. I can visualise a straight line or a perfect circle, but I wouldn't be able to draw them perfectly.
The counter is that most of the usable mass in the universe is in interstellar objects such as comets and free planets which are 50% water ice or so, rich in organic materials and can be consumed completely to build habitats.

With D + D fusion (easy to believe compared to CNO) an interstellar civilization could be essentially independent of stars.

I'm sure part of the resolution of the Fermi paradox is that dry inside-the-frost-line planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are not the generic places you find life.

If things were a bit different I could see a would-be Galileo on an less cooked version of Io or a more cooked version of Europa who looks at the Earth with a spectroscope and sees oxygen and has a huge amount of trouble with his local "church" that thinks it is impossible to have life on a planet with less tidal activity, less radiation, inside-the-frost-line dryness, etc.

Even if creatures like us became interstellar we might have millions of kilometers of condominiums and shopping malls in the oort cloud and could care less about inner solar system planets.

This meeting stuff sounds like it is incredibly gimmicky with not much, if any, upside. Zoom calls are already a pita, can't imagine what a waste of time starting vr meetings would be.
Depends upon which job interview you are going to.

If is a startup, use some buzzwords like cloud native, devops etc. Check their sentiments towards kubernetes.

On a serious note, You might have to jump on the kubernetes bandwagon whether you like it or not as many of the companies are serious investing their resources. Having spoken to various companies from series A to Enterprise. I do see the kubernetes adoption is actually not as much as I would have imagined based on the hype.

P.S discussion of kubernetes or not kubernetes was recently accelerated by a post from Ably [1]

Interesting story. I chuckled when I got to

>We had been brainwashed by the go-big-or-go-home unicorn VC mentality.

Making money takes work, and often the things that bring in the most revenue aren't the most exciting tasks to do. Like bug fixes, customer service and other such drudgery. So many I work with in tech want to be able to chase the latest tooling, change the world with a killer app and other pie in the sky fantasies - and nothing wrong with those, they serve a purpose. But the vast majority of revenue out there is in the boring stuff. The details. Or not being a sportsball kid growing up but constantly hearing sports casters rant about "the fundamentals". Yeah, now I get that the fundamentals permeate every aspect of life and are key to success - no matter the subject area.

If this guy would have treated his app as a long term commitment and been prepared to really work it and not be mentally checked out looking for the "big sell", he'd probably still be growing it. Chasing the unicorn of striking it rich is like planning to play the lottery as your full time job. Yeah you could get lucky but more than likely you are not going to.
Trade it in. You'll still pay MSRP on the new car, but you will get way more for your trade in than it is worth.
Depends on where you’re at in your career.

If you’re a junior with little or no real-world experience, certificates can fill in gaps in your resume. We can’t always get the experience we want or need right away, so courses and certificates are one way to fill they gap and provide some proof.

If you’re 10 years deep into a career and trying to change into something cloud-related without prior experience, getting a certificate or two might help you open up more job opportunities. It probably won’t get you lead jobs, but it can help keep your resume from being disqualified before the tech screen.

On the other hand, if you’ve already got years of experience doing cloud work in the real world, getting certificates probably isn’t going to help much. Good real world experience is better than certificates.

There are exceptions: Some old school companies rely heavily on credentials over all else, so collecting credentials and certificates can be a way to get into these companies and get ahead. It’s less common at modern, reasonable tech companies though.
I don't think it's necessarily NIMBY or at least my understanding of it that makes people want to keep housing prices elevated. If I buy a house at an inflated price, I want the house value to continue to rise as a large degree of my financial security is tied up in that house. My ability to refinance, take cash out and eventually even sell that house are tied to it continuing to escalate in value. In the US this is particularly true as so much of out net worth is essentially our home value. As inflation increases and peoples ability to save is even further reduced this will become even more of an issue.
Unfortunately it's not that simple. Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. And the valuable space in orbit is no exception. Take the entire surface area of the Earth, and then extrude it up into a volume roughly 800km high. That's the volume you need to clear (and that's just Low Earth Orbit). There is no magnet powerful enough to make even a dent.
> Instead they should put a massive tariff on any chip not made in the US. Companies that invested here would be rewarded for loyalty

Voters would have rewarded politicians who supported these tariffs by voting them out of office for making all their toys more expensive. Everyone likes cheaper stuff and more stuff in the short term.

> We felt that collaborating on code today is broken.

Today is the day that I read “we feel that x today is broken” one too many times and just scrolled past. It has now become startup marketing speak. On reflection, I thought it might be helpful to mention. This has no bearing at all on the quality of the startup or their product, just a note about the wording being over used
Absolutely agree, I switched to Caddy recently and the configuration is considerably easier than Traefik. Very simple TLS setup (including self signed certificates).
Some people think Optional/Either/etc are the absolute cure to a certain sort of problems and -- I speak from experience -- it is impossible to convince them that it's not.

Well, of course, if your end users, the business users, are okay if you present them an "optional result" which might or might not be a result, then Optionals/Either _are_ the cure. Unfortunately most end users are pissed if you tell them that you optionally shipped their purchase or that the refund will either be credited to their CC or not.
True, as an owner of a car from 1982 I agree. Requires a lot more preventive maintenance, e.g. oil changes every six months or 5-6k km, but runs perfectly fine when properly maintained. Also, I cam probably fix most issues with tools carried on board on the side of road. Enough to get to a proper workshop at least, I converted it to 2WD after killing a diff and drove for 200 km that way. If you cannot do that yourself, you're screwed so.

That being said, if I'd go on a 2k + mile trip I would put in some work to get the car fit for this. Looking at my dads VW camper, I'll just fill up drinking water, maybe gas and fuel. Without a serious amount of preventive maintenance those cars do have a tendency to break down so. I guess we are just not used to this kind cars or machinery anymore.
> He's saying that MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS causes copy-on-write not just for forked processes

But that is just plain wrong; it's practically in the definition of threads that they share the VM between themselves. If MAP_PRIVATE meant "copy-on-write even for threads using std::vector" most multi-threaded programs would stop working, save for perhaps a couple of purely functional examples.

On the positive side, there wouldn't be any data-races. :)

This still haunts me https://www.nashvail.me/blog/stop-learning.

You got to build stuff too, not just learn. Still, you also have to figure out if you're a builder or a "learner".

Not everywhere though. I recall Venezuela had unusual car prices about a decade ago.

Car dealership inventory was very low due to currency controls and wait times at car dealerships increased to months.

A slightly used car, inmediately available for sale, was more expensive one than a new one with months wait.
This is not an alternative, just a small personal project. Learn docker, basics of kubernetes and maybe nomad.
I assume that in most situations like this the original person with the truck would have to replace that truck. In this case he now has to pay 90k for the truck he originally paid 75k for.

> How about GPS is suddenly no longer usable, with planes in flight and ships somewhere on the ocean?

Anything over land can be replaced by antennas sending out a signal from a known location, and receivers can triangulate their position from that. In-flight planes can use landmark plus compass based navigation, as well as (already existing) ground based navigation beacons, and pilots are trained on how to deal with all instruments gone dark scenarios. Ships can sail along land and use sextant navigation on the open seas (actually, the US Navy re-introduced training sailors in sextant use in 2016, to account for a no-electronics scenario!).

> Weather satellites allow no more observation, with no more forewarning for hurricanes, and no reliable planning of routes by either plane or ship.

The worst loss will be for everything over the open sea, but land based weather documentation will still be possible.

> What will be the impact of both on modern agriculture?

Not too much, technically we can gather everything agriculture needs from the ground, it's just way more effective and cheaper to observe from space.

> No more satellite based communication, etc.

That would not be a big loss, there exist (long forgotten outside of amateur radio) technologies to deal with that.
Using Edge without any extensions, I also can't see the thread without logging in. Only the first two tweets.

But I can see everything using Firefox (with lots of extensions). So not sure if it's browser or extension dependent. Annoying either way.
(a) The test is the wrong way round for the Collatz Conjecture;

(b) The Collatz Conjecture isn't one of the Millennium problems;

(c) It's using bounded numbers in the range where the Collatz Conjecture is known to be true;

(d) It seems reasonable to say "If this routine exits then the value will be "true";

(e) None of what I say here is deep or new, so when people get excited about this sort of thing it makes me wonder what I've missed.

So ... what have I missed?
All the low earth orbits decay due to low but meaningful resistance from the thin atmosphere; satellites like the SpaceX Starlink essentially are continuously "brough back to Earth" unless they periodically boost themselves up to maintain orbit height.

I live 50km from work now (thankfully looks like mostly remote forever, the COVID silver lining), but I used to bike to work before I had kids.

I don't know that I'd do it again. The number of avoided-death-by-split-second close calls that I racked up in about five years is just too high... Now that I'm a bit older and have children, seems irresponsible.

This is in a city with relatively developed bike infrastructure, including separated lanes in some places. (Some) drivers just don't give a damn, and while I wish it was different, I don't see it changing any time soon either.
Simplest answer: Demand has gone up overall for technology like tvs, computers, game consoles, etc... Meanwhile, during covid the ability to scale (production and supply chain) to meet that demand has been difficult.
Maybe tone the superlatives down. I am not sure there are "life-changing" blog posts. Maybe a post that is either illuminating to a new way of thinking or point you in another direction.

To be clear - I support the idea of sharing insightful information especially as everyone takes different paths of life. I do however loathe the over the top language. This day and age everything is "life-changing", "epic", "GOAT" - its devalues the rest of the content.

High end bike parts are also in short supply. Popular electric bikes also have months long waiting lists.
If we take as given that "decent quality ICE vehicles are proven to last at least 320k km", then after accounting for both vehicles that are less than decent quality, and vehicles destroyed due to accident, malicious damage or poor maintenance long before they reach that figure, then a fleet average of 200,000 km doesn't seem out of the question.

Here’s a good rundown: it ultimately all comes back to chip fabs being huge operations with massive upfront costs which makes them sensitive to both the pandemic’s direct effects and secondary problems like the way the auto manufacturers slashed orders in 2020, forcing the chip manufacturers to sign other contracts to avoid idling that much capacity[1], and unrelated problems happening at the same time like cryptocurrency pulling capacity away from useful applications.
