"I'm completely fine monetarily with tossing a phone in the garbage if it breaks and getting a new one"

Maybe. There are non-economic reasons to consider repair instead of replacement, or there would be if repair was a feasible option. For example, maybe someone feels a moral obligation to reduce the demand for tantalum (or to not personally add to it):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_minerals

Apple has basically thrown their hands up and said, "It's just too hard to keep Congolese tantalum out of the supply chain." Meanwhile, their products are hard to repair and encourage people to just buy replacements (and thus consume more tantalum, some of which is paying for the worst war crimes imaginable)...

Better deflect that incoming missile on time before the next GC pause.
Exactly zero pauses only exist if you never free memory, which for most purposes is not an option. In most languages, freeing all all the heap-allocated objects of a big array will take longer than in a language with GC. The reason pauses tend to be bigger in a GCed language is because all the freeing is being done at once, instead of every single time an object is determined to no longer be needed.

In any case, the tradeoff you're making is that you have deal with memory. Even in a language like Rust, you need to care about references, ownership, struct vs heap and possibly even reference counting. You might even be bitten by "running out of memory" due to memory defragmentation.

In most cases, you don't need to care about these things in a GC'ed language, at the expense of larger memory usage and possibly noticable pauses.
Autocratic leaders can get pretty irrational in their quest of preserving power down to the point of harming what seems to be their interests in major ways.

I agree with his first proposal.

My view is that the big AdTechs (mainly Google, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktoks and the likes) are one of the worst poisons that humanity has ever created.

They brainwash you, destroy democracies, create drama in order to shove ads down your throat.

And then they turn around and pat themselves on the back pretending to be good actors "making the world a better place". Leaders of those companies pretending to be good humanitarian beings drive me absolutely crazy.

I hope that we eventually all see them for that they are.

This follows from long ongoing processes that aim to separate concerns, modularize, DRY, split into microservices etc, which has become even more important now that practically all computation is networked.

What you describe as an "app" is essentially just the front-end part, where the assumption is that some variation of components from a framework are sufficient to expose the essence (business logic) of the "full app" to the user.

Its possible that an application does not fit into this pattern. The richer the domain, the more unique or innovative the idea the more likely it may need its own core engine (see eg, gaming or scientific applications)
>Do we have the infrastructure to support everyone driving electric cars?

We don't. New builds are still being built without charge points. There's a mess with electricity providers regarding to the actual up-keep charging points and then who is to provide the electricity for them?

Much like the same with our railway operators. It's a mess. Motorway charging points are also another ball-game.

In my opinion, the current government has no ambition to commit but will happily wave the flag like it's possible.

I had an unlucky slow-playing 1990 Sony Walkman. Spent my pocket money on the best model Sony WM-F707, it could record too. I was happy at first.

But something was off. Songs didn't sound right to me. Other people couldn't notice, but I eventually confirmed the issue by syncing playback with other stereos. Songs were in sync at start, but by end my Walkman was lagging behind slightly. Tried different tapes, same result.

Warranty had expired but my friend's Dad agreed to take a look. He was a technician at Sony, a remarkably promising coincidence. My hopes were up. But his verdict was "yes it plays a bit slow but is within the acceptable tolerance". As far as I know he didn't open it up, as there wasn't a problem to fix.

Personally I'm glad "acceptable tolerance" of playback speed is ancient history!
I'm pleasantly surprised that these sculptures survived the centuries of intentional destruction of such artifacts in the region. The scratched(?) graffiti is disappointing though.
This seems "easy" to manipulate. Crying on demand is (in my experience) quite close to feeling those emotions by remembering certain situations in your life that will produce the emotions your looking to act out. So I doubt it would work for your use case very effectively.

Operations on 64 bits i.o 8 and the Z80 doesn't even have multiply or divide operators and would need to loop and add to do a multiplication/division. And then think about things like ARM SIMD instructions.

> In their defence (I say this with some trepidation), if they want to see their products in another country, then they need to play by that countries rules.

I understand your trepidation in saying it. That is simply a fact of reality as it stands and how businesses operate under the current incentives, not a value judgement.

However, it makes me think that liberal democracies should play hardball. The USA already has the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act [0] and the UK the Bribery Act 2010 [1], which hold their own businesses and citizens criminally liable for business-related corruption in a foreign country. Also, many countries apply universal jurisdiction for crimes such as child abuse [2].

Maybe liberal democracies should start applying a similar set of rules to businesses who are licenced to operate within their country, forbidding them from performing certain types of tasks (e.g. ideological censorship) for any government.

I am well aware of how incredibly complex a law of this kind would need to be, but let businesses choose – if they want to operate in the EU, USA, UK, etc. then they need to play by the no political repression rules worldwide. Would losing the markets of repressive regimes not be worth it? Well, they're free to move their headquarters to those countries and lose the liberal democratic market.

Mindblowing - no doubt. Changing social culture though? What change did the walkman bring about?

The iPhone expanded the reach of the internet on everyone's lifes and revolutionized social culture and brought an enormous individualism:

- the narcistic selfie with an attractive filter replaced the group picture and changed how people view themselves

- expanded instant messaging, dating apps etc. enabled a lot of interaction but among highly selected individuals or groups

- navigation apps, review apps, spotify etc. enabled an individualistic movement through the world, individually entertained and shielded from strangers and random encounters

These changes, unless superceded by even crazier things in the future, will probably stand out to historians in the far future.
Erm something is managing your memory somewhere, even "the computer explodes before it runs out of memory" methodology used in guided missiles is a form of manual memory management, just a very unusual one.

Same applies to the "program terminates before it runs out of memory" approach.

Not only the GC, since version 7, most of the Midori stuff has been landing on C# (and to some extent F#), turning into a kind of "Managed C++".

Contrary to the WebAssembly speech, CLR was one of the very first VMs to have support for C like languages, but those capabilities were only fully surfaced to the original Managed C++ (.NET 1.0) and C++/CLI (2.0 onwards).

So now those capabilities are being exposed into C# as well.

For example stack allocation of arrays is now also valid in safe contexts.

You can apply using to any type that has Dispose() without inheriting from IDispose.

Memory slices are now also a thing and native function pointers for example.
It's apparent that you have a green agenda, but that doesn't make nuclear reactors viable if you coverup $1 trillion in cleanup costs. Just admit your bias, and offer to pay the cleanup bill - talk is cheap.

Also, it's rarely mentioned that during the cleanup, irradiated waste was stored in the port near Tokyo on the docks. Had the wind shifted, all of Tokyo would have been irradiated.

The more you dig into Fukushima, the worse it gets, just like Chernobyl - how's that one working out so far?

In the US, we have nuclear plants on fault lines and in densely populated areas that can't be evacuated. The insurance liability is capped at very low amounts, again burdening taxpayers with potential cleanups. What could possibly go wrong?

How is that different from Apple and Google removing apps of Trump supporters and social media companies closing their communication channels?

As a side note, Navalny is not a democrat, he's a racist, but somehow gets labelled as democrat in western media just because he's against Putin.

I haven't looked at Shenandoah and my GC experience is a bit stale, but to determine if something is weakly referenced, you need to determine whether or not something is universally weakly referenced. A strong reference anywhere means it isn't weakly referenced at all, and as I recall it's been thought (for now) that while this may not require stopping the world to sweep the full set of references, it's a safer and more correct option.

“ The giant sequoia is the fastest growing conifer on earth given the right conditions. We expect 4 feet of upward growth in the third year for trees in large pots and one-inch plus growth rings. They have the potential to grow faster every year. Giant sequoias grow rapidly tall and less dense when the rising and setting sun is blocked. They quit growing tall rapidly once they reach full sun. Once they reach full sun they begin to grow a thick trunk, dense foliage, and rapidly put on weight.”
