Low power, high performance, upgradable RAM: pick two.

RAM slots aren't free; all that extra interconnect length increases power requirements and becomes impractical with large buses. You'd need 8 SO-DIMM slots to match the bus width of the M1 Max models, at much higher power consumption and slower performance. LPDDR RAM doesn't even exist in removable form for these reasons.

While I have no issue with people picking languages for personal reasons, if we are going to start presenting RIIR (Rewrite it in Rust) as a technical argument then we need to move past the "it has momentum" part of the argument because trends have a habit of changing (as you've acknowledged yourself).

>because a grid connected system is supposed to shut down when the power fails, the only way out is to stop being grid connected

On that note I believe there are electrical devices that automatically disconnect you from the grid. It allows you to use a battery / solar array to power the house, while not feeding back any power to the grid such that you don't harm anyone trying to fix the grid.

Now whether or not this is allowed is very much dependent on which country you live in.

Thread: Strategies to make Twitter a positive experience
Exactly, every-day security is there to prevent random dudes. And even they can, to stay with homes, just break a window. Serious opponents, especially if they are really motivated, will be able to break into everything. The three letter agencies, and their counterparts in other countries, are obviously on the very professional and very motivated end of the spectrum.

Personally, I don't see any reason to make overly easy for any of those parties. So no biometrical data to be exchanged for some new form dogecoin.
The small decisions should be made by the individuals of course, as group decisions are too expensive, but the bigger ones should be taken by the team, where it pays off, or at least a pair. I’ve dealt too much with bus factor problems in the past to want fully individual systems

It also happens on scrum teams a lot, the engineer the built certain part of the system is the only one to ever take tasks related to it and the only one that knows how to fix it, so when they are gone you have to deal with their mess

On XP pair programming solves that very nicely, with a lot of comradery, but then you may also argue there is not enough individuality
I can't speak to WhatsApp, but I've been using the self hosted Signal bridge [1] and it is brilliant, no bot troubles at all. Behind the scenes it uses signalid [2].

Completely agree with Drew here. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing an issue I care about or raised closed because it was "inactive". Just why? If issues went away by themselves we'd all be out of jobs. All these bots do is piss off the consumers and make your life harder by losing discussions. They also waste the time of those who put a lot of effort into their report to be helpful, encouraging lazy spam issues to be created in their place. GitHub should remove this disgraceful bot.
That’s amazing that it’s not even twice as good!

People in certain situations require anonymity for privacy. Anonymity is a tool of privacy, not always necessary but certainly necessary in some circumstances.

Privacy is choosing who knows what about you. Anonymity is a tool to do things in front of some people without them knowing who you are. Clearly if you don't want those people to know that you (your real identity) does those things, you require anonymity to maintain privacy in that respect.

> If third parties can access your correspondence you have no privacy regardless of your anonymity.

This is false. For example, a citizen in a repressive authoritarian regime can only protest the government "publicly" so long as they are anonymous. You can let all the world know that Anonymous4321 (if you have real anonymity) thinks the government is bad on Twitter and even leak government secrets. Sure, the protest will not be "private" in the sense that it is public, but the privacy angle is that nobody knows that the individual is involved in such activities: they can show up to work at the government the next day after leaking details about the government and nothing will happen to them. Clearly, from the perspective of their real identity, their leaking and protest activities remain "private" from the government even though the government very publicly is aware of the protests and leaks.

In the scope of TOR, it clearly helps individuals maintain privacy. I want to keep which sites I visit unknown to even my ISP; that is clearly your version of privacy. On the other end of the connection, I don't want the website operator to know who I am either; this is your version of anonymity. To me those are both just different aspects of the notion of privacy defined by: choosing who knows what about me--with that choice defaulting to knowing nothing about me.

Privacy is a broad category, anonymity is a piece of it, necessary only in some circumstances but generally desirable as a default. You can choose to give up your identity, you cannot choose to take the knowledge back from someone.
No, Ada has no lifetimes and borrow checking and thus cannot possibly offer the same expressiveness as Rust while supporting safe memory deallocation without garbage collection.
My answer will be "not immediately, but I state that I understand that the history has proven the former to be correct, and I fully believe our collective will and the future continues to prove that".

Bugzilla’s approach: in your “what error message?” comment, you also set the needsinfo?(reporter@example.com) flag (a single checkbox does it), and it can stay in that state indefinitely. This is then readily searchable, so that when you get round to doing another batch of manual triage you can quickly close it as incomplete, or try to follow it up, or whatever you like.

This also highlights another crucial difference in Bugzilla: it keeps track of not just open/closed state, but also the reason: fixed, can’t reproduce, won’t fix, incomplete… whereas stale bots are a single awful blunt instrument that seem like they might help with closing incomplete bug reports, but in practice they do much more closing of real stuff, annoying of reporters, shoving of stuff under the carpet, &c.

What the stale bots lack is nuance, because GitHub Issues is too generic to support a good triage bot that isn’t deeply specialised to a project.

And even if you have a decent triage bot, there is no substitute for manual triage. It doesn’t need to take very long.

Of course, to get there we’ll have to repaint a lot of runways and replace a lot of signage for runways that currently correspond to magnetic north.

Speaking for myself, yes, I do consider it surveillance even if Apple (or anyone else) does "on-device" analysis. The main issue is whether they give me a choice in the matter, and control over the data collected and how it is processed.

Once the data is collected, BigTech can change their privacy policy or Terms of Services to access this data any time. (And that is exactly what they have been doing). Moreover, they still need to collect some data to ensure the "on device" analysis is working as intended. (That's where the clause "we may also collect data to improve our services" comes into picture).

What a stupid waste of time
My take is: Privacy is when people know who you are but not what you are doing. Anonymity is when people know what you are doing but not who you are (some people will argue this is pseudonymity but I disagree with them in a practical context). Basically Batman is "anonymous" and Bruce Wayne is "private".

Eventually, a full OS or OS kernel written in Rust is going to compete with Linux whether if you like it or not, unless either the maintainers want to have fun fixing the same old C vulnerabilities and bugs for more years or they adopt Rust themselves.

You may not like it, Linus or his maintainers may not like it, but that is where the future is heading.

Downvoters: I know. The future is Rust and change is scary for something like Linux. Good luck finding mountains of use-after-frees or memory corruption vulnerabilities which fixing those in every part of the kernel is a losing battle that Rust has already eliminated in the first place.

> GC garbage collection in a different "managed" language. The tradeoff is higher RAM footprint, extra cpu and GC pauses for tracing scanners

It would hardly mean a problem for most programs, including OS kernels, especially that kernels are themselves GCs for resources like processes, file handlers, etc.

Also, GC pauses are overblown, most of the tasks can be done in parallel.

While I don't care about Worldcoin (I think it will fail, because they are solving the problem that does not exist), this post is false in multiple ways.

First, retina scanning output hash is deterministic - it is supposed to generate the same result for the same eyeball. So it can't be replaced with random number generation.

Second, network does not interpret hashes, except for making sure that single hash is awarded funds only ones. Network however pays attention to whom is sending the hashes. It must be "legitimate" Orb units, likely considered to be legitimate because their public keys were whitelisted.

Third, process of distribution of initial tokens is obviously NOT OPEN. You need a "legitimate" Orb unit to participate. Which has nothing to do with how the network will behave for users already on-boarded.

Fourth, PoW has nothing to do with it. PoW is antisybil for people who might add new blocks. PoW has nothing to do with people who just want to transfer or hold funds. Or even with people who can create money according to network rules.

Agreed. There are things like GED and college programs, but they can have long waiting lists.

Also, I look forward to even more bloated websites and applications now that developers have faster computers.

It will be fast enough on their machines, but they will forget some people don’t like/can’t afford these machines.
If you are looking for a proven moral system, there are none. The whole idea of human rights is a product of a certain culture (western europe and its dependencies) just like the Quran or the Bible.

(Note: The article addresses the issue with incremental development.)

I agree, not necessarily because people have other stuff to do, but rather because that is what programming _is_: you operationalise a vague process into something detailed and clear so a computer understands it.

It's really a spectrum that is never clear cut. The article suggests that one should take time to get close to a clearer picture by thinking, investigating and communicating before writing actual code. I tend to agree.
Roads in the US are too straight and too wide to force drivers to be more deliberate in how they drive.

Yes, the Platzspitz/Letten scenes were awful, but these are not what the post that you were initially were responding to was describing.

Yes, there was a crackdown, but it’s not like this hadn’t been done numerous times before, both in Switzerland and in other countries, so this hardly could have been the major cause of the permanent improvement (which I think we both agree did indeed occur around that time).

> They tried […] the treatments you mentioned

And THOSE were the new factor, and THAT is what made the difference. The Heroin assisted treatment is still in force (an article a few years ago mentioned that about 1400 addicts in Switzerland are in the program).

Contrarian view: I hate issue templates (at least as implemented) because they utterly cripple search for any word that appears in the template (and I’ve had this bite me more than once or twice). Most of the stuff people use templates for should instead be instructions outside the box, but GitHub doesn’t support that. If you’re going to follow the “big blob of text” model rather than having separate fields for much of the metadata, then your goal should be to have as little text as possible in any template, and avoid any words that people might want to search on.
You do understand that we are talking completely different things here.

Obviously farmland is not the right place to put power plants (unless their emissions can be used to benefit crops - think reusing clean CO2 to feed crops in greenhouses) or waste treatment facilities (unless they produce fertilizers that can be used to increase crop yield).

Nobody is proposing to ban cars where they are actually needed - and there are a lot of good use cases for cars, but densely populated cities ARE NOT one of them. Also, banning cars from rural areas would probably not make a dent in avoidable pedestrian deaths, as most of them happen in more densely populated areas (such as suburbs, which are kind of in the middle between rural and urban). I'd be totally fine with banning manual driving in suburban areas as soon as self-driving cars prove safer than humans.

Furthermore, we could extend the mass-transit system with self-driving cars and trucks - no need to walk to the bus stop if you can have one pick you up by your door upon request. And, since it's per request, it doesn't even need to be a bus. Many short-term car-rental companies are looking for self-driving cars to remove the issue of having to pick up and return the car at a specified spot.

For a long time I didn't have a bus stop near my door - what I did was drive (a 15-minute drive) to the subway station parking building and use my tax-deducted park+ride year-long pass to get to my office.
I do kind of agree, but I have not much hope for a free market where a company wins by being that much better than the rest, where they could just go with the flow and charge the same fees as anyone else.

With gas cars, there's a clear cost to having an employee go out and refuel it if its not returned full. This is much less justifiable if the company can just charge the cars on-site, either quickly or slowly.

A compromise could be that if a car is returned with less than x%, where it must be charged before going out to the next customer, then charge more but if its returned with 80-100%, don't charge extra because it could go out to the next customer easily. I've rented plenty of cars without a full tank.
