> that will need to bootstrap first, and you won't be able to use such GC code in the initialization code for the OS.

It's all highly dependent on the interface between the language and its runtime. Hypothetically, your C# runtime (and by runtime, I'm using it in the same sense that Rust or C++ would use it; I'm not referring to a VM) could provide a function that allocates memory (C#-esque pseudocode):

public static ulong New(ulong bytes)
{
if (gcInitialized)
{
return GcNew(bytes);
}
else
{
return BootstrapHeapNew(bytes);
}
}

Until the GC is boostrapped, all allocations are made on a heap, and either manually freed or kept around until the GC takes over deallocation.

> GC code using Boehm would not be suitable for device drivers nor realtime code.

I completely agree, I just provided it as an example of a GC implemented in the same language.

> Where do you envision the GC bootstrapping and how do you see it interacting with virtual memory and your malloc implementation?

I don't see the GC interacting with userland in this case, and instead would only be used for kernel data structures. I don't really think it's a good idea to have GC in a kernel, I only wanted to point out that low-level code and garbage collection are not mutually exclusive.
None. You buy a collectible because you like it (hopefully), and you are “safekeeping” for the next buyer. The original owners of the Mona Lisa don’t really matter.
There is not capital gains tax on housing (in denmark), even if some politicians would like that. In Sweden its reverse, low property taxes but profit on selling is the house is taxed as income. In Denmark the profit is tax free.

You are paying property taxes for houses every year, these taxes are in theory based on the value of the house even if they have been lagging the real value of the house.

I think the post refers to the point that you don't pay property taxes.
Which are all great festures for devices where you'll have interaction. Auto restart on failure has been done for years, so the weight of systemd doesn't justify it for us. We'll have a single binary service, so dependency tracking isn't really a problem. Same for journald. 100% of the useful logs will be moved off the device, so the system journal isn't useful.

Not every nail needs to be hut by the systemd hammer. We've had really fantastic and light weight init systems for decades without all the bloat and creep of systemd.
Investors want their business growth and a 10 bagger (or bust) on their money, not paying a c-suite salary for 0.01% interest, or worse, a bunch of greek bonds that someone on the sales desk at Goldmans said was a great buy.
This is not true. Apple can absolutely (but probably won't, as unfortunate as that is - and I hope I'm wrong on this) build APIs for hooking into the views used in the current system, while the actual transactions happen outside of it. They can't guarantee that the data shown is what is actually being charged though, which is why they probably won't do that.
> The only things really stopping average people from using Linux are ignorance of the issues and laziness.

Or, y'a know, they upgraded their system but the new version of the kernel isn't compatible with the bluetooth device unless they patch the bios, but the bios patching tool from the vendor somehow destroys the grub entries due to an unrelated bug, requiring them to boot in a recovery disk, mount the encrypted volume, map the lvm volumes, chroot and ...

I've used Linux exclusively on the desktop for almost 20 years. Has it gotten much better? Yes. Are there still deal intractable problems for normal users which aren't Linux's fault but nonetheless represent deal breakers? Also yes.

The ownership model, like any model, can't help you if you decide not to reflect important facts about your world in the model.

But Rust will enforce constraints your model reflects. For example it's common in embedded computing to reflect hardware resources as singletons. If the firmware_updater is using the only SerialPort then it isn't available for my doorbell_noise_generator, I can't just make another one and ruin everything by reconfiguring the serial port that's currently moving firmware program code.

Rust has no idea what a SerialPort is, but the programmer provided no way to make any more of them, and the only one that existed is owned by firmware_updater right now, so too bad you can't get one for doorbell_noise_generator and the device doesn't get bricked by a user pressing the doorbell button while doing a firmware update.

If your application needs database consistency beyond what your chosen RDBMS actually promises with non-transactional updates, you should definitely provide Rust access to that database only via transactions that preserve the required consistency. If your RDBMS is so feeble it can't cope with more than one transaction in flight, you may need to make those singletons too. The ownership model is enforced by Rust and you'll do fine.

As I said, humans can't cope with anything other than sequential consistency at scale when reasoning about systems. If you've built a complicated "microservices style" system that doesn't actually have this, the humans supervising it don't understand how it works and sooner or later (but likely sooner) it will do something that is entirely outside their model of what's possible and they've no idea how to fix that.

Remember, Rust is not an innovator here. It's applying lessons understood in academia - to an industry which had been infested by Real Programmers and couldn't understand why now everything is on fire.

That's one of the small things I like about more complex charts (more complex than a picture): I can usually hover over the chart to see the label.

I don't have absolute pitch (and a crappy relative one), but this "standardisation" based on the root note really helps build a knowledge of how chord changes "feel". I suspect this is what builds this ability to easily find the right notes when improvising.

Michigan is definitely there.

Before 1803, The Mississippi River was the Far West of the contiguous US terrirory.

New Orleans & further west still belonged to France.

Ohio and Indiana were known as the Midwest since they were about halfway to the Mississippi from the east coast.

Part of Kentucky is very close to Ohio & Indiana and the rest were Southern States.

Now Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and part of Missouri seem to have snuck in somehow but Dakota, Newbraska and Kansas are highly exaggerating.

No doubt Oklahoma and Texas are in The West, with almost all of Texas being part of the Southwest.

Midwesterners represent more like a regional/cultural designation than their geographical location, although both features do apply.

Western Pennsylvania is not very much like the East Coast either.
Well... yes, sort of! Or at least, it’d be great if the bank let you choose how much money to put in a safe account with low but guaranteed interest, and how much in an investment account with higher but risky interest; and make it really easy to move money back and forth. I don’t know of any bank that offers anything like that.

I guess there ought to be some safeguards, e.g. at least XX% of your money in a safe place. But there’s a point at which safeguards become friction that just stop you investing at all.

For example, in the UK you have ISA accounts, which should work like that, but the restrictions are so annoying (yearly cap on deposits) and the benefits so weak (tax exempt, but on a pitiful interest rate so it makes no difference for most people) that they’re not very useful. Unless I’m missing something.
So the fatal flaw was that when the aircraft returned, it had to be flown into a net, which usually resulted in damage to the unit which required repairs. Other than that it was apparently a resounding success!

Negative interest is an abomination considering how wealth enables further gain of capital. This is why cash should stay, otherwise people would be subjected to a lot of money grabbing. Entrepreneurs are acting correctly here.
Sounds normal. I had experience with Google - they would categorically refuse to uplevel on transfers (except maybe across ladders e.g. PM<->SWE) and reneg on pay (mostly 'cause you have zero leverage in this position). They have paybands per location/level to stick to, most other tech companies too. Exceptions possible but you'd have to make your case reach someone VP level who has the power to override the prevailing policy. Low level managers don't.

> What to do if your FAANG is levelling you according to your nationality?

Your nationality has absolutely nothing to do with it. If you're not happy with your level, earn a promo or leave for some other company willing to uplevel you on hire.
I agree, heck if I was the CEO I wouldn't want access just to prevent some rouge manager from doing something stupid.
The WebAIM contrast checker web page is one of many. It's nice because the colors have lightness sliders so one can quickly try alternatives then copy the hex values into your CSS.

I like checking with Lea Verou's https://contrast-ratio.com because it can check colors written in many different formats, not just hex. Also, it can do +/- contrast ranges when colors include the alpha channel.

In the Chrome and Firefox DevTools, you often can simply click the color swatch for the `color` property. The pop-up includes the contrast number vs. the background-color for that text and whether or not it meets a Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) contrast criteria (Level AA if it's 4.5 or above for regular-sized text, Level AAA if its 7 or above for regular-sized text).
Indeed, most ads are not here to push you to buy something as much as to remove barriers to buy it:

"... Western Reserve University, founded in 1826 and named for its location in the Connecticut Western Reserve....

Are you talking about the API docs[0]? Or about some official tutorial page for Java the language [1]?

The Java tutorials are seriously out of date (they even mention explicitly that they were written for Java 8, and that they may refer features that are no longer available).

However the Javadoc is well maintained and quite useful, discoverable and thorough in my experience. Certainly one of the best native library docs that I've seen.

Often, you might want to run servers. If they are JIT compiled, then during warm-up they will be slow(er), and later they will be fast(er). But usually you don't restart servers that often, so they will spend most of their time in "fast mode". It makes sense to me to measure what will be used in practice.

Of course, for command line tools such as grep, it is more realistic to measure the warmup phase as well, as that will reflect real usage.

I am fairly cheerful in helping family, and a few of my best friends, with computer problems, regardless of what they have.

I appreciate the author’s privacy preserving preferences, but I almost always recommend to non-tech family and friends that they consider getting a Chromebook or iPad as their only non-phone device. I don’t think that most people need a general purpose device so why not just make everyone’s lives easier.

The Chromebook recommendation may seem crazy from a privacy viewpoint, but if you show people how to configure their Google account to only store YouTube history for 30 days while setting all other data retention to zero days, use Duck Duck Go, turn off location, and use the web version of Proton Mail and Calendar then people have a system that is cheap, useable, and is not so bad from a privacy perspective. I have many different computer systems (4 laptops running Linux, 3 MacBooks, iPad), but use a small Lenovo Duet Chromebook with my recommended setup for much of my casual web browsing, reading eBooks, and using streaming media. I accept any criticism for using Google services, but they do have useful services (I love GCP, and use Hetzner, AWS, and Azure as second choices) and with some care I feel like I can use Google in a reasonably privacy respecting way.

And why is the fridge getting disposed of? Odds are it's because the refrigerant had already become one with the atmosphere and the fridge no longer refrigerates. This is also the case for window A/C units as well.

Most of the needless venting comes from automotive systems and that's going to be a non-issue in a few years as OEMs continue to switch over to newer refrigerants that are less polluting.

The longer "no" answer is: no, there's effectively no secondary market.

NFT trading is a small number of suckers, lured in by much larger amounts of (a) money laundering - there's a lot of dirty ETH out there that's been turned into a slightly smaller amount of clean ETH by running it through a few sockpuppet NFT-trading accounts (b) wash trading.

(I have a purported chat log from the creators of Cryptopunks claiming they wash-traded the cryptopunks to make it look like there was a secondary market. It came from a source I think highly of, but I can't claim to have authenticated the chat log as a smoking gun admission of wash trading.)

As a big meta-argument, use "The Bottom Line" though experiment: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/34XxbRFe54FycoCDw/the-bottom...

(To share it with anyone you'd probably need to find a more readable version. This one has a lot of idiosyncrasies.)

Some authors decide their conclusion first and then formulate arguments later. This produces content which looks kinda rigorous on its face and it's really hard to beat, because each argument is legit when taken alone.

If you try to respond by writing a balanced version, your story has nowhere the "clarity" plus it takes 10x the time. So you respond in kind by creating an opposite message the same way as the original one was conceived, and thus the cycle completes. All fake news.

We cannot see into the author's mind, so it's not really possible to detect that dirty trick. It is a matter of trust initially, and a matter of reputation later on.

But every message which has a very clear conclusion is suspect, because if you actually gather all the arguments, they can seldom be stuffed into a nice and clear-cut result. Every message, including this one. Every author, including you and me.

All this might get your loved ones into more healthy skepticism. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
I would tend to think the opposite would be true - having many smaller reactors would currently require multiplying the number of controlled sites, each requiring security, redundant cooling and safety systems, emergency power, nuclear waste cooling pools and long term storage, etc.
I agree each individual system may be safer if an incident were to happen, but supporting a large fleet of nuclear production sites would be a lot harder in my mind.

I think allotment is about right.

In the UK the rules on sheds and structures are controlled by the local council. Often they set a maximum size, but I suspect they aren't measured unless you piss off someone enough to complain.

There was a movement in the late 1890s-1930s where building societies would buy strips of land to allow the working man to take out a loan to buy and build on a plot of land, with enough space to grow and keep livestock. I wish I knew what they were called. Basically they were allotments with houses.

In the netherlands Tuinhuisen are a thing, and they put a lot of effort into making them look nice and be livable.
Given similar power consumption, cooling is up to the OEM, not the chipmaker. So this question should be directed at Clevo, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Tongfang, etc.
