I don't know that SPARC was such a performance loser to x86 so much as Intel simply having a commanding lead in process technology at the time. Even Apple capitulated. That lead gave them a market domination that allowed them to reinvest (think Amazon) in their own fabs. x86 was a dog that Intel spent $1B/yr on improving so that your code ran fast. They took that strategy to the bank for as long as they could which was at least a decade longer than anyone thought they could.

As I think you're pointing out, Java wasn't a pivot. It was rather an excuse not to pivot. Sun really needed a Gates style pivot with Internet Explorer or a Bezos style pivot with his services manifesto. Instead you got a ponytail.

Also, before missing the cloud, Sun missed routers. Still, they were a pretty successful failure. We should all fail so well.
Is that REPL usage still relevant in a world of Jupyter notebooks?

Getting started with Julia always just feels clunky to me - perhaps the other commenter was closer to the mark in blaming the documentation rather than the REPL itself. Either way, despite being a former scientist who has moved into IT (sadly), I get the distinct impression that the language is just not aimed at me. As such, I'm always surprised to see people trying to push it in settings outside its current realm of adoption; feels very much like the language maintainers have no real interest in that.
This was it. Unfortunately it carried an unobtainable price tag.
> "we can still call it ad-free, if the only preroll ads we run are for our own shows!"

Preroll ads are only there because they haven't found advertisers willing to pay them enough yet. It does mean they have the infrastructure there, waiting and ready, and ad / data engineers getting data from ad viewership and rudimentary conversion numbers, which they can then use to sell ads.

It'll be there soon.

Which part of Seattle do you live in? I lived in north Seattle for the last four years before recently leaving.

Drugs were being sold in broad daylight at the end of my street, and the only time it let up for a few weeks was when one of them crashed their stolen car a block away and died.

We left after a run of shootings and stabbings near the closest library.

It might not be Chicago but it's within an order of magnitude. Chicago has about 5x more shootings per capita per year, although Seattle is trending in the wrong direction with shootings up 30% yoy.

If by proper abbreviation for Louisiana you mean ", La." then yes, you get a list you can choose from, then you can select each one individually. But because they did not choose include zips in their address if you want to cluster them you can do it by city, then figure out which cities are nearest to each other.

Just seems this could have been done a lot better, with very little effort.

All people need shelter but people are not entitled to shelter in any place of their choosing. Your proposed solution will increase rent prices for people who can't afford to buy a house while pushing the housing prices down
and making them more affordable to middle class. So essentially you are making house purchasing more affordable to middle class at the expense of the poor and investors.

I think you're overlooking married millennials, many of whom are in their late 20's-late 30's and many of whom have no children, and many of whom are two-income families.

A $400k home would be quite affordable if each of them were earning an average of $24/hr or more, which isn't too crazy.
You're omitting a major component of the demand side: investors and speculators. If the market was just made up of the people who are looking to live in those homes, the market would be reasonable for those people. But we have a massive amount of investment funds looking for returns in an uncertain market, plus near zero interest rates for the near future. The number of investors who are buying houses they have no intention to live in is skyrocketing, either to rent out, to flip, or just to hold vacant in the hope values keep rising.

I'm not an expert but I've probably read a whole lot more Near East literature than, considered over a population of billions, nearly everyone. In English translation, but still. A half dozen volumes, I think, cover to cover? Maybe seven?

Gilgamesh is the only work out of all of that, that I'd recommend to pretty much anyone who likes literature. Egypt has a couple promising, if relatively late, tales, but both are only the beginning of the story, so it's impossible to know if they live up to that promise. Most of the rest, across languages and cultures, are very much an acquired taste, if they're enjoyable at all. Gilgamesh is simply good.

Next best would probably be the Old Testament, but the older tales there are mostly worse-told than Gilgamesh, and the best writing is relatively recent.
Those are called ITIHAASA which literally means "it so happened". In other words, they are history & not mythology. Just because the current generation cannot comprehend them does not mean they are myths. For example, I have personally seen saadhus / yogis who have mastered Yoga live absolutely naked in the sub-frigid temperatures of the himalayas. Science has not been able to explain this other than calling them miracles or like you calling them myths. Please show some respect & do not call ITIHAASA as myths.

The share of wealth is irrelevant because the pie grew. It would only matter if the pie stayed the same size. You were asking if millennials are doing worse than their parents, but worse is an individual thing, a per-capita thing. And they're simply not. They're doing just about as well as all the other past generations were at their age in constant dollar terms. The old adage goes "it takes money to make money" and their wealth will increase exponentially as they get older too. But they're not doing worse. Sorry. And they're going to inherit boomer wealth soon, collecting the share too.

[edit] (In fact the WaPo article you linked mentions the same exact thing I'm telling you, and makes a half-hearted attempt to compensate - failing to also account for the total amount of wealth on a per capita basis. This article is clickbait.

> One important caveat to the chart above is that the three generations aren’t the same size, population-wise. In 1990, for instance, boomers accounted for 31 percent of the total U.S. population. In 2008, GenXers were only 22 percent of the population.)

Some things are a lot more expensive, some things are a lot less expensive, but even ones you pick are misleading. For instance, housing. 1 square foot of house in America on average costs the same as it did in the 1970s adjusted for inflation. [1] However the average house is twice as big and the average family smaller. With drastically higher interest rates back then, and most people on a 30 year fixed, housing is much more affordable on a square foot basis. It could be better, and zoning rules are at issue.

But a lot of things are cheaper too. Basically anything that doesn't require human labor to assemble. TVs. Computers. Tons of stuff.

> This clearly sets the dynamics of which generation will be working for whom.

The only dynamic you're seeing is time value.

> And while there is a temporary reduction of life expectancy due to various factors, incuding covid, millenials will most likely see extension of their own life expectancy within their lifetimes due to medical advances.

That's (a) not the current trend, though it may reverse and (b) the opposite of the argument you were making about boomers earlier.

> And while there is a temporary reduction of life expectancy due to various factors, incuding covid...

Also, COVID killed boomers not millenials.

The overriding goal was simplicity for an embedded solution.

Yes, throwing up an stunnel in front of port 23 enables telnet-ssl, but this is a bit heavy for a small machine.

I actually have an emulated VAX running VMS 7.3, and the C compiler on this machine does not support 64-bit "long long" so AES-CTR is the best that it can do (and chacha20 won't compile here).

In this case, a version of chacha20 for K&R C would be very handy. As you can imagine, sftp for this machine has been a unique challenge.
The central themes of the original series are certainly present in the series. I think people -- including Krugman -- are occasionally missing the forest for the trees, because the show is radically restructuring and revising the story in order to make it more compelling as TV drama (at least in the eyes of the showrunners). I'm not sure I like all of the changes, but I just don't agree with critics who say that the show is missing the thematic point of the books.
Speaking about listening: there's this project of the German composer Helga Pogatschar called "Inanna descent in the underworld", a reconstruction of the old texts together with Prof. Dr. Konrad Volk (https://www.chrom.de/en/helga-pogatschar/inanna-opera/). There are some extracts on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DBjNDkOTfk) - it has German translations too but I hope not enough to ruin the strangeness of the exercise.

I've been reading about origins of money and so came across reference to clay tablet writings by Syrian traders. Most of them are about mundane day-to-day life as you say but it's fascinating to just learn about life from days long past and forgotten. What's also interesting, to me, is the matters they bring up don't strike as alien but in fact can be related to by anyone even to this day. For instance this passage, taken from a paper[1]:

“As to the textiles about which you wrote to me in the following terms: “they are (too) small, they are not good’; was it not on your own request that I reduced the size? And now you write (again), saying: “process half a mina (of wool) more in your textiles”. Well, I have done it.”

Part of it is probably that the managers doing the hiring don't actually care all that much about the company they work for, and would prefer to just have a pleasant experience.

Yup. As someone who was in the real estate market in 2007 it’s pretty amazing how quickly we went from “be careful with housing” to “housing only goes up, it’s now or never”. I’d say it took about 5 years.

Human recency bias is very strong. Whatever trend has happened in the last 6-12 months is assumed to continue ad infinitum. And that’s true on both sides. When the market crashed everyone assumed it was forever.

I read Stephen Mitchell's translation, which isnt the most academic but certainly the most readable. It was the 1st time I actually finished the book.

My only problem is: It looks like parts of the story are missing. Certainly, the ending is very downer. Spoilers: Gilamesh fails to save his friend, loses the immortality herbs, and comes home empty handed and humiliated.

Certainly, one of the lessons is that Gilgamesh learns humility and respect for others; but I wonder if there are further chapters that were never found. For the story certainly looks incomplete.
The movie was an already written script paired with the title and some characters renamed. It was not made (the script) with the intention of adapting the book (which is a series of short stories with a common framing story). I, Robot, like World War Z, needs an anthology or serial format to be properly presented as a show or film.
> The main downside with Mosh is that it emulates the terminal remotely and only sends the visible state of the terminal back to the client. This means if you have a lot of output from a command, you will only be able to see the result that would have been visible in the terminal. This is known as the scrollback buffer. It’s a known limitation in Mosh because it focuses on efficiency and solving issues with poor connectivity, so it makes sense to only send the visible portion of the terminal.

This is indeed one of the biggest downsides to mosh, and is a very often requested feature. But I am pleased that this article framed the lack of scrollback as an explicit design decision, and didn't simply call it a "missing feature".
Yup, milliennials are just doing what their parents did. Just shows how egregious boomers have been in fucking up this country with their own greed.
> But one has to convince the residents or other voting population of that.

There's plenty of other things that that has obviously not been true for, I don't see why we should default to this extreme localism you seem to be advocating.

We didn't let local voters decide to continue imposing testing requirements to vote, we didn't let them allow businesses to continue to determine patrons based on race, we don't allow local jurisdictions to unilaterally confiscate land/property from private owners.

Given that this is a large problem, I don't see why non-local governmental action should be given an effective veto power by residents who don't want to see anyone new in their neighborhood. The burden is on you to justify that, given extensive evidence on how this would be welfare & growth enhancing.

> What the preference was aimed at is that many people want single homes, garages, yards, etc. If they can't get them, they will end up moving to where they can. If they have them, they (and the other neighbors) will advocate to keep the neighborhood that way.

Yes, plenty of people advocate for things that are in their self-interest yet bad for society. Your point?

> You can call something societally beneficial, but others might not see it the same way.

Sure. By beneficial, I mean net welfare enhancing for society. It's obviously not beneficial if your criteria is "increasing the price of my home by constricting supply."
As one more data point, I completely disagree with your interpretation, and don’t really have any doubts that serial_dev’s interpretation is correct
> Around the time $GME first spiked and then fell you saw lots of people trying to encourage everyone to hold.

Everyone who got into $GME after the first spike knows that the value will tank some time, they are in it simply for the lulz - to this day, short sellers are accumulating losses, and given how long the price has stood up way over anything supported by fundamentals there must have been dozens of billions of dollars in value lost for them.

Obviously some are in $GME in the vain-ish hope of a second short squeeze event... but that's just gambling.

Yes, without Obamacare it wouldn't be possible for me to even imagine retiring early.

Not quite. The network is usually smaller. Employer plans have a nationwide network. Which means that if you get a rare disease for which the best doctor is in UC San Diego, you can fly over there and get treatment. Most Obamacare plans have limited networks, for example in my area only in-state providers are on the network.

Yeah, this is the #1 issue that holds me back from recommending Signal to everyone in my network. It seems like there are just too many ways to end up in an unrecoverable state. Phone died, lost, or stolen? Can't migrate. Phone number changed? Can't restore backup. And so on. Sure would be nice if there was at least a standalone viewer app which would let you view backups even if you can't restore them.
Yes, I imagine it would be. I suspect a lot of insights can be made from extensive digitization of the materials. Statistical studies of records over time. Finding what fragments may fit with others.

See https://github.com/gaigutherz/Akkademia which is a deep-learning based approach to OCR and word segmentation in Akkadian. Early days. I wish I knew enough ML (or Akkadian) to contribute.
Yea, I'm curious what they even mean by 'performance' in this context.

It would obviously impact whole-system performance, since this setting would intentionally limit what can run on each core leading to some idle cycles. That's expected though, and is merely a consequence of using this feature for security.

I'm curious if it measurably slows down the scheduler and impacts performance from there.

>-"Mozilla is run by a bunch of SJW idiots because they ran their CEO off. So now I run Brave." (I had to look into this, as I wasn't paying attention at the time. They picked a new CEO who cared so passionately about removing the right of gay people to get married he even donated his own money to the cause. That was a dumb hill to die on. Now he's an anti-masker who actually runs Brave.)

It wasn't a hill to die on, it was a private donation from his private bank account as a private person. The funding page got leaked and people saw that he donated. And it wasn't removing the right for gays to marry, it was to keep the proposal from becoming a law. You might not realize that some people hold very strong religious beliefs about marriage, something the vast majority of Americans historically had, and for this reason gays previously generally only had something called a civil union prior to 2015.
