This is a problem because people horde money, just keep saving - why would you spend it? And the economy dies.

>There is no consensus of what to do with political speech and media.

There is though. The general consensus of free societies is that the democratically elected government regulates speech and not the market.

The problem is youtube/facbeook/instagram/linked-in perform functions that one would normally classify as 'public space'. Obviously that might need some level of policing, because some speech is criminal (like a threat of violence made to another person). But private companies shouldn't be forced to police.

I blame the lack of regulations much more than the for profit companies trying to make a profit (they are legally bound to pursuit profit by their stock holders).

The trouble is the US is allergic to do such a thing, and when another country starts regulation the companies of one of their biggest trade ally's...

So, please, uncle Sam. Can you please make sure the ToS of facebook and the like, is written by your congress. So that there is direct democratic influence on it? Even Facebook will like a lot better that way, because it actually allows them to stop pretending to be 'the facebook state' and can just go back to 'facebook, the for profit company'.

The conclusion slide appears at about 1:02:00 so you can skip there if you just want a four-sentence answer to the question posed in the title.

The first five minutes or so lead up to a rough definition of what he means by "Operating System" for the purposes of this talk, essentially systems software that abstracts some physical or virtual model of hardware and runs programs that use those abstractions. However, in addition to the privileged mode OS kernel he includes things like system libraries and services in the scope of the subject.

This is followed by a historical overview of various operating systems and programming languages — particularly systems languages — and how they shaped each other.

Finally, Rust is compared and contrasted with historical and incumbent languages and the systems developed in those languages.

Despite his enthusiasm about Rust, Bryan finds that rewriting extant OS kernels in Rust should not be the top priority. The Operating System as defined in the introduction includes firmware and user mode services that can benefit from Rust's memory safety even if the system core remains in C or C++. Since Rust interoperates well with other systems programming languages, there is no need for an all-or-nothing approach.

I don't think my summary does justice to the talk. Bryan's talks very often look at things from a historical perspective, which I and others quite enjoy. The rambly tangents are actually my favourite parts of a Cantrill presentation and the conclusions may feel rather mundane if taken on their own. If you don't enjoy the first minutes, you may need to adjust your expectations or simply decide this style is not for you.

The "neat" thing about a config like that is to use incredibly basic programming things, like simply having variables, lists/arrays, arithmetic, string manipulation, etc..

As a basic example, I could have a list of basic packages that I want on all of my machines, and then depending on which machine my config is being deployed to, I might extend or shrink that list using actual code, because that list is represented as a an array or a linked list and I can directly manipulate that (though, at least in Nix I think everything's immutable, so you would technically only use that initial list to create a new list from it).

This varies a lot depending on location. In some places private landlords can not (legally) block sub-letting (except of course where it would cause other breaches, for instance health & safety wrt having too many people living in a property) and this carries over to "social housing" that is provided via public/private cooperation schemes.

> once a good double-digit number are cheating, cheating becomes the only viable way

Good point, but how little oversight does this country have of money being sent to peoples accounts from Airbnb etc? In my country (Norway), all transactions > 500 USD, (or multiple transactions from the same sender of lesser amounts), would register with the tax office. The receiver would have to disclose the source of these transactions to the tax office.

If money coming in or out of peoples accounts are governed by self-reporting, people must pay highly inaccurate taxes in the Netherlands.
>they'd come down on me very hard and very quickly

I can't speak for the rest of the world, but here in the Netherlands, it wouldn't have been the state that would come down 'hard'. (its the other cab drivers, physically assaulting you)

As a response to this kind of energy, we actually ended up liberizing our cab market a lot more before Uber came. And when Uber came here there was no good will for the existing established cab companies, because people considered them borderline mobsters.
In the USA, "Federal buildings" typically have no mixed use built in. It is not clear to me if this is for security reasons, or because the bureaucrats who commissioned the buildings assumed that each bureaucrat employed there would take the most pleasure in eating lunch at the official cafeteria. Some federal buildings include internal mixed use (second-party shops which lease internal retail space) but the end result is the exteriors become long, sterile blocks for the pedestrian.

So, if it turned out that the vaccine caused side effects that resulted in large cases in the ICU or cancer incidents down the road, you are willing to put them at the end of the line since they decided to take the vaccine? Do you not see how many variations of this argument can be made and how nonsensical the results would be?

City dwellers have increased incidence of cancer or whatever other ailment, so their choice to live in cities precludes them from medical services. Marijuana smokers have higher incidences of x so they don’t get treatment. Motorcycle, bicycle, and scooter drivers are risky actors so their choices preclude them from care. Where does it end?

Doesn’t seem like freedom to me.
I think it's interesting, because product/market fit is really important, and you have one camp of guys saying that programming language is almost irrelevant. But then it isn't always the case, because choosing the right language constructs can make or break your software depending on the domain, and have a quicker time to market. I think the problem lies in a lack of scientific literature, and a collision of culture between result oriented business people, and geeky explorative tech people. I would love to find a way to bridge the gap of understanding, but to even approach this problem in a correct way seems difficult.
Seeing that search bar in mock-ups is so triggering. It implies 500 follow-up questions about how the search should function in different scenarios, none of which has been considered in depth by the designer nor the product owner. And if you ask them all you’ll be considered “difficult”.

At some point the tourism became somewhat self-reinforcing and needed no more inputs from the city itself. However, when every evening you have an unending stream of tourists puking all over the streets, starting fights and bothering locals there is a point where the downsides for the 90% of people in the non-tourism sector become more important than the upsides for the 10% who make their money off tourists. We'll find something else to do for them.

In the UK housing market, the availability of cheap credit in the buy-to-let market has driven the cost of a home up to levels of unaffordability for the average person. It's made worse by the treatment of housing as an asset class, which means that the traditional solution (build more) has been shown to be ineffective. There is a whole class of people who buy house after house, and make a lot of money out of it, and it drives division in society, as buying is cheaper then renting.

The government has made some moves towards making BTL less profitable, but realistically this has only had the effect of discouraging new entrants, and driving the sector to a corporate model, which is even worse.

> My answer to anyone who asks for kafka: Show me that you can't do what you need with a beefy Postgres.

...

You could probably hack any database to perform any task, but why would you? Use the right tool for the right task, not one tool for all tasks.

If the right tool is a relational database, then use Postgres/$OTHER-DATABASE

If the right tool is distributed, partitioned and replicated commit log service, then use Kafka/$OTHER-COMMIT-LOG

Not sure why people get so emotional about the technologies the know the best. Sure you could hack Postgres to be a replicated commit log, but I'm sure it'll be easier to just throw in Kafka instead.

This is cool, but I don't understand the justification for why a more traditional "just store a sequence of events" undo system wasn't possible. As the author says in the post on the scripting system, the game scripts access virtual interfaces. Those could just record the methods called before forwarding them on - doesn't matter that the scripts make arbitrary method calls. It seems to me that there's nothing inherent to "the level script is arbitrary code rather than a list of commands as data" that makes that style of undo impossible.

With transactions, and stored procedures if that helps ;). Redis also seems well suited to the use cases I've seen for Kafka. Kafka must have capabilities beyond those use cases, and I've sometimes wondered what they are.

Some snippets from those two pages, where they call their own syntax just "Markdown":

> Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for styling all forms of writing on the GitHub platform.

> You can use Markdown most places around GitHub:

> Here’s an overview of Markdown syntax that you can use anywhere on GitHub.com or in your own text files.

> Create sophisticated formatting for your prose and code on GitHub with simple syntax.

It's until the bottom of those pages that they start mentioning GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM).

Just like how Obsidian deals with the very same documentation.

Not sure what the problem is, Markdown has always been different on different entities on the internet, since there is no common specification. Blaming Obsidian for this seems short-sighted.
What nonsense?

Before, children only had to pay for food. If they don't or can't pay, we starve them, that'll teach them.

But now, they also have to pay for this system, and its potential life long consequences.

Like, suppose we offer it to the cheapest contractor, which delivers a crappy insecure system. So somebody "hacks" it and leaks videos of children eating (just because it uploaded all footage to facebook and shared it does not meant we wanted anyone to watch it!).

This allows insurance companies to analyze the data and either charge premiums or just deny health insurance to these children as they become adults because "You had too much sugar as a kid Tommy, here, look, this is footage of you eating 30 years ago!".

So you see, this system is genius and the possibilities are endless. Why can't you get it?

In case it isn't clear, this is sarcasm, and I hope that whoever decided that filming children during lunch using facial recognition, and everyone who approved it, to be able to charge children for food, get fired and shamed for life.
I'm very familiar with exactly what local councils do in terms of urbanism and licensing, my entire family is involved directly in every stage of the construction business, from the initial architecture design, to the real estate sale.

I am telling you this because I want you to know that i have as close of an experience with local governments in regards to this subject matter as almost anyone can have.

From my experience, and the experience of my parents, uncles and grandparents i can assure you there is almost no place where you will find more corruption and needless bureaucracy as in local councils.

while there does indeed need to be some forms of regulation, say by outlining noise limits outside the properties, or by establishing emissions standards or light level restrictions, the vast, vast majority of restrictions and regulations are fundamentally senseless and exist primarily to make work for local council employees, and to enforce peoples views on what other can do with their property.

It is NIMBYism of the worst kind, and we would all be significantly better off if local councils had their powers castrated.
I'm not sure if you're counting "git help" as being man pages. I use "git help", but never had much use for "man"-anything. The "git help" I get already has hyperlinks, as it's literally html documents opened in a browser. Some of the documents have a "see also" section at the end. I rarely get that far though, as I tend to read just as far as I need to solve the problem at hand.
Python doesn't care about these errors (because python's integers are not as simple as 64-bit operations), however if you generalise this error to a "transaction" of two operations (registers in this case), you'd end up with the same ability to see a view of a state that should not be seen by another thread.
Pretty common practice, give folks a decent chance to comply and develop a history of not doing so before starting to enforce a regulation, especially when compliance is really low (80% of listings after half a year noncompliant... jeez)
