The biggest difference is that Switzerland has some quality of life to show for because they are/were smart enough to provide some banking together with their empty buildings filled with anonymous P.O. boxes .

Hence it benefitted the banking sector as a whole, as well as the CHF which is the safest currency in tandem with the USD (safer than the USD during normal times such as non war and pandemic periods because it's not subject to the power struggles of DC).

The surprise isn't the development of hypersonic tech, it's how this was done and the capabilities. The DF-17 mentioned in comments is a relatively well-known missile, with about 2,000 km of range, and delivers a hypersonic glide vehicle called DF-ZF. What happened here is a Long March orbital rocket put a DF-ZF or secret version into space, it orbited the globe, then essentially launched from space at a ground target.

But when each thread reads the variable, you have no control over which value you see, since you don't control when each thread gets to run. So its undefined in the sense that you don't know which values you will get: a thread might get the value it wrote, or the value the other thread wrote. The threads might not get the same value either.

The GIL exists to protect the interpreters internal data, not your applications data. If you access mutable data from more than one thread, you still need to your own synchronisation.
Can you shed some light on how you got to that level of compensation?
Sure.

Though metadata is often more useful than content. And the point is that telco providers, government agencies, and all those who've hacked into them, know of phone calls made from numbers you no longer remember you had.
Google Snippet vs. Actual Page
Lots of things depend on everyone doing their job mostly perfectly, and then inspections and tests, etc. to make sure. Chemical plants, oil platforms, airplanes, etc. We should expect the occasional accident, which there have been for all power generation technologies. Nuclear is one of the very safest, by far, if you account for all of the accidents to date.
To be fair, this is all hard work to get right. I think there’s a third, much larger category of people who are pursuing the idea but just haven’t solved all the problems yet.
Promotions are not worth anything these days, because the power is with the employer and not the employee. Therefore, the employer can deny a promotion and you can't do much due to that.

So, it's always better to switch, because if you get multiple offers, you retain the leverage to negotiate between each company and switch.

It's hard to elaborate on something that's not developed yet.

Here are the principles we are using when developing these products:

https://about.facebook.com/realitylabs/responsible-innovatio...

In practice, it will mean that some things you will know about, but don't necessarily give consent (i.e., someone taking a picture or a video of you), while other will likely require consent (i.e., recognizing you in these pictures/videos).
And all that greed, corruption, corner-cutting resulted in two major accidents, which killed fewer than 60 people in total. What a condemning track record!

One of these accidents happened in the Soviet Union, in a reactor type that could never be licensed in the US. The principal cause was operators ignoring safety regulations under political pressure. Do you really think, whether the US builds or doesn't build PWRs and BWRs would have impressed the SU one way or another?

The other accident happened in Japan. The principal cause was a rather extreme tsunami. What turned it from a minor mishap into a major accident was that modern politics invalidated the original safety concept. (The BWR's containment has to be vented before core damage occurs, but that was no longer politically acceptable in 2011.)

The lesson to learn from both accidents is that politicians have too much power and engineers have too little.
Put simply: Yes. Nuclear Power is (part of) our Best Bet Against Climate Change.

I suspect there's a big variation, particularly in whether the university has placed the keys to the kingdom in the hands of a "partner" of, shall we say, dubious competence and understanding of academia, after getting rid of decades worth of local experience. Fortunately those with decades of experience outside Networks group can usually find an "impossible" way to work around notwork and other roadblocks, but it's so much wasted time.
To give you some perspective from a user:

The GSuite (or whatever they call it these days) google groups UI is hot garbage. However, I finally figured out how to open a group -- effectively a mailing list -- to the public internet. This was carefully documented in our internal wiki because, again, UI is hot garbage.

Google has too many PMs, so someone decided to go screw with the UI. It is now not much easier, but it is different, so I had to spend another hour figuring out how to do the same thing. For your "convenience" as a customer, the change has invalidated the vast majority of help text on the internet helping users work around the deficiencies in Google's UI.

And that is why users hate change: the previous UI might not have been good, but we'd already figured out how to use it. So a change creates work with zero benefit to us.
Baseline power is essentially the lowest the demand ever goes to. I.e. at any point during a given schedule window, the demand does not go under that. Then you have peak power, which is the highs of demand.

The problem with lacking power plants that can provide stable scheduled power is that you then can't meet even that minimum, or peaks that happen outside of power generation peaks (While solar has happy correlation with daytime power usage, apparently the high peaks at least in Poland aren't when the solar output is highest, and wind tends in many areas to peak during the night).

Ultimately, what you want is supply synchronized with demand - and either you make supply side capable of following demand, or you need to start telling people there's no energy for whatever they need it for.

The benefit of having static power generation from nuclear power plants or whatever else is that we could then concentrate the storage to help the peaks, which is much easier and less resource intensive than trying to totally smooth out lack of predictably dispatchable power.

Also, in case you end up with not enough storage to cover peaks with renewables, it's much easier to have controlled demand from big industrial power sinks provide the latitude to respond to peak demand rather than find out you don't have enough power for the base minimum pretty much all the time and have to institute rolling blackouts on unpredictable schedule.
> Most economists think that population decline is tightly coupled with the economy

To be fair, what “mosts economists think” tends to have fairly weak empirical support on purely matters that are purely internal to the narrow sense of the economy, and it only gets worse on economic connections to broader social phenomena. (And that's not even counting overtly ideological schools of economics like Austrian economics, where beliefs aren't even in principal empirically grounded.)

OTOH, there's a reasonably strong case to be made that reduced incentive for population growth is an effect of strong social saftey nets.
You’re touching on a wider huge problem for society now: people make assumptions that ascribe malice when there is none (and/or vastly misunderstand something), and the internet lets this amplify and morph into bigger issues than should exist.

When social networking was nascent, there was this assumption that decentralized voices would help get truth out faster than could ever happen, and the principals of democracy would flourish. While that sometimes happens, it seems more often than not public opinion falls victim to conspiracy theories aided by cognitive biases (especially confirmation bias) and those who purposefully wish to distort.

What’s saddest to me is that I’ve come to the conclusion that the genie cannot be put back in the bottle. We cannot expect that technology will go backwards, and the only viable option is the China one of absolute information control, which itself is scary. Those who do not adopt this will be vulnerable to outside control and inside dark forces, and those who do will create a censorship authoritarian state.
Can you do NixOS without systemd? If not, I'd look elsewhere for the distro. Maybe Guix?
I think bubble sort is kind of an optimization nightmare - a loop where subsequent iterations depend on each other - and the dependency is through memory. I'm pretty sure the compiler tries to extract some level of parallelism from the loop and fails miserably.
Not exactly the same but my journey started with nix home-manager on MacOS. Spent time getting it working how I wanted. I enjoyed it so much I replaced my Mac with nixos soon after

The Deepest Dive
The great thing about git is that it has eleventy ways of doing the same thing.
thats that billion/trillion dollar question :)

so I think theres a huge design space, and I think it partially turns into a "mechanism design" challenge to articulate a landscape of transaction / market auction mechanisms that

1) incentivize maximizing market liquidity

2) recognize the speed of light is finite, and have that inform the minimal time scale matching can happen on.

3) obviate/remove the need to obscure large trades as a large number of smaller trades (which is half the value of so called algorithmic trading strategies to institutional investors). This could be via having one design constraint on auctions be that the market impact of the sum of the small trades should be equivalent to the single large trade. (ignoring the issue of the exogenous information of there was a large trade ).

some interesting knock on consequences of these ideas are the following

1) the larger the time scale you're willing wait for the trade to be matched to "the other side", the cheaper it should be to trade! (creating liquidity is valuable!)

2) if you're willing to allow your trade to be "partially matched" instead of all or nothing, that too creates liquidity.

the point being, you start with "what are all the complications of how people do large/complicated trades today that should just be trivial with the right auction" is sortah my perspective. thats glossing over a lot of complexity and other concerns, but those are some high notes.

that said,this is just the tip of the iceberg, and these sort of market design questions are genuinely under studied in my mind, and i could easily spend hours talking about this in greater depth over coffee or such.

There are numerous viable storage technologies, just competing for which will be cheapest. Until that is settled and the variable share reaches a practical limit, the money is better spent on panels.

Iron-air battery tech is proven. Now it just needs industrial-scale build-out, which takes time: the factories need to be built before the battery farms.

Renewables can, in fact, meet our needs with already mature technology. All that is uncertain is which choices will turn out cheapest. If it were not those batteries, it would be others, or underground compressed air, or molten salt, or liquified air.
I agree, it doesn't cost 2x. An SPA probably costs more like 3-4x.

Coordinating two apps is much harder than one app.

A reference for this topic is the Mythical Man Month, which concludes that communication overhead is what is expensive. When you have two apps, the humans, and the software both need to communicate and coordinate.

When there's two apps, you have an OR condition where if either app is broken or in disagreement about the expected API, both are broken. You have two sets of build processes, sets of tests, sets of files to serve, caches to manage, state to manage, versions to manage, and they all need to coordinate.

Instead of one thing to test, with an SPA, there's really 3! The server side app in isolation, the client side app in isolation, and the combination of the two.
It works fine if /boot is unencrypted. You can encrypt the rest of / and it's fine.

… if someone else paid to host a copy. Major companies hosting it makes that less likely and if their backing increases usage that also increases the cost of hosting everything, making it more likely that the content you want will be available. When Google shuts down their mirror, suddenly all of that traffic is hitting nodes with far fewer resources.

The underlying problem is that storage and bandwidth cost money and people have been conditioned not to think about paying for what they consume so things end up either being ad supported or overwhelming volunteers.
I'd say better this that having "cipher agility" like with IPSec.

During design of IPSec, someone was advocating for the "NULL cipher" which is essentially no-encription where the use case was "debugging". Tie in cipher agility with the NULL cypher, and you've got yourself an awesome downgrade attack

This is only true for sweatshop-type companies. For places you'd actually want to work there is no difference in comp based on the type of visa someone is on. It's more about, we want to hire this engineer, what legal checkboxes do we need to tick to get them here. Sweatshops do take up the bulk of the H1B quota though, which is what gives this impression.

British children in the 1940s were familiar enough with bananas that they missed them during WW2 [1]. Import was banned during the war because the refrigerated ships were needed elsewhere (and the voyage was risky), but resumed in the early 1950s (?). They were widely imported from the 1880s up until WW2 [2], but I'm not sure how often the typical person would eat one.

(And I don't know how much of this British Empire trade would have spread to Ireland.)

That's not useful. If you have a race condition, you will eventually hit it and when you do, you may get incorrect results or corrupt data. Thread unsafe is thread unsafe, regardless how rare it appears to be.

Also, rare on one computer (or today's computer) might not be rare on another (tomorrows faster one for example).

These types of bugs are also very hard to detect. You might not know your data is corrupted. Reminds me of how bad calculations in excel has cost companies billions of dollars, except now, the calculations could be "correct" and the error sitting dormant, just waiting for the right timings to happen. Much better to not make assumptions about the safety and think about it up front: if you are using multiple threads, you need to carefully consider your thread safety.

I wonder if this could be used to increase the effectiveness of LIDAR in vision applications. Rather than continuously scanning the entire FOV, prioritize areas with more brightness changes.

But that’s already the case. A state is just a bunch of people. Without public support, states fail. Public opinion is far, far more powerful than weapons, and open source 3D printed guns will have the most positive impact only for criminals. If there really was some revolution where ordinary citizens required guns, there’s already more legal guns than people in America.

If people stop treating it as money, then is the thing the central bank prints still money? It can print more of the thing, sure.

Anyway, this isn't relevant to my argument upstream — it just changes the reason why nuclear reactors aren't properly pricable in our market economy, from "can't be insured due to worst case" to "worst case can destroy the currency". (It also doesn't rule out other argumens, pro or contra.)

Why Zig?
What is your idea of a catastrophic failure? A nuclear detonation? Because that actually can't happen. Not because there is some gizmo preventing it that might one day fail, but because it actually, physically can not happen.

Is it a meltdown? That has already happened at Fukushima, and didn't end up being catastrophic. At least not compared to catastrophes like tsunamis and earthquakes.
On the other hand, Apple ended up finding more success with "embrace and extend" than Microsoft did. So much so that when you go to most free software conferences, well, back when in-person conferences still happened, most of the developers are running and writing free software on Apple's proprietary operating system.
I'd like to see a system that prioritised power purchasing depending on predictability, not instant price.

So first buy goes to power plants (including virtual power plants) that can provide stable power generation given a specific window of time - whether that that's nuclear, hydro, or solar+wind+battery+hydrogen - so long as it's close to zero emissions and will pump out required power no matter the weather over specified time.

Let wind/solar fight over peak power, or consolidate into virtual power plants with storage operators (it should also incentivize buildout of storage, so win-win in my book)
I've been married to a librarian for 28 years and concur with everything you've said.

She is in charge of digital services and staff training in our public library service, two things that changed pretty rapidly in the last eighteen months with branches being shut, then open, then shut but you can shove loans out the door, to open, then shut again, etc, etc.

From our dining room table she has been single-handedly[1] orchestrating postal deliveries of loans and access to all sorts of digital resources. During our extended lockdowns people said receiving a box of books, DVDs and such in the mail was like Christmas.

Many of us have a passion for technology, but she loves technology because it helps her in her passion for the community.

[1] I say single-handedly in jest because she had a dislocated wrist last year. There was huge coordination of many staff and services to make it all happen. It sounds good, though.
>Yeah, tbh I'd with that Java was more independent then there maybe they're wouldn't have been so much of that mitigation over android...

Wouldn't then Java be already EEE by MS with their Visual J++ /J# ? You would have fragmentation in Java like you have with JavaScript APIs that can be non standard , or work differently in different browsers.

From my memory in the end Google had to pay because they really copy pasted code from the original Java source so they did not respected the license.
Is .NET bigger than Microsoft, or is Microsoft bigger than .NET? That's the real question being asked here.

The philanthropic energies of the open source community are often in direct conflict with command-and-control corporate structures and even the legal system itself. Pretending like the conflict doesn't exist is how these folks got into this mess. Microsoft has a chance here to generate a huge amount of goodwill not only in the .NET community but also the open source world by choosing to relinquish the "company behind the curtain" aspect apparent in the Bylaws. Articles and blog posts will be written about what happens here. The usual comments of "embrace, extend, extinguish" might themselves be extinguished by Microsoft choosing philanthropy.

Without the philanthropic energies of projects and maintainers, what is the purpose of the Foundation anyway? If .NET as a brand is too important to risk tarnishing by people not on Microsoft's payroll, then abolish the Foundation altogether.
