If your first name is really henrik, that would be pretty unique in the English speaking world. I think what you say might be true for your country but not really in others. Many upperclass people have unique names in the United States (and also in Britain I think ). In fact it used to be quite fashionable with some upperclass people to have a vaguely foreign sounding name especially one hinting at some kind of European connection.

People will go toward the option the system points them to, and in the US you don't pay extra fees for credit cards and have the best fraud protection with them. So why wouldn't you use it? Sure, I guess I might think twice if I had to pay a surcharge with every card purchase. But I don't, so why should I behave as though I did?
During the last antitrust suite against Google it was confirmed that Google developed AMP to combat header bidding in order to protect their price arbitrage cut in their ad exchange. Publishers are now weaponizing against Google.
Yeah, it's helpful to remember that games in the early 90s at least would have been expected to run on a 486, which were still very widespread, and the 486 was neither superscalar nor out of order. It was pipelined (the main difference between a 486 and a 386) but it was still at that time simple to reason about how long your instructions would take. And there was no speedstep or any of that stuff yet.
> Basically, I'm trying to imagine a world where every Bash script needs to come with headers specifiying binary dependencies and file paths (and env vars) it wants to access. Upon invoking said script, it gets executed within a light-weight container, the binary dependencies then get installed on-the-fly and the file paths get mounted into the container (after I've confirmed that the script may access them).

There are pieces of this that have been implemented in Nix, Distri, and Flatpak.

Binary dependencies getting installed on the fly used to be something you could enable systemwide on NixOS, and parts of it still can be. There are also FUSE filesystems that can automatically build/fetch paths as they're requested. DwarfFS, for fetching debug symbols, is the first one I'd heard of, and then there were some experiments like this in Distri.

In Nixpkgs, scripts built by b Nix are created in a way that bundles in the executables they call by interpolating in full paths to deterministically built versions.

In Flatpak you have this notion of portals, where you declare file paths and other things where your program is allowed to talk to anything else. It seems a little more seamless than sharing the filesystem on Docker.

I think this is pretty achievable in the moderate term.
For that matter what about across different distros that all use apt but have different package names for the same piece of software?
Yes, yes, and yes. Have you? The claims quoted in this article were provided without any documents from Google, let alone a mechanism for how the non-AMP ad delay worked. I described the mechanism. What part of the description did you not understand, so I can clarify it for you?

Because the guarantees are largely exaggerated, require you to use specific language extensions (that you have to find out about somehow), and are often presented in a largely esoteric manner.

Yes, you can write some advanced type-fu to provide interesting guarantees on the type level. But by the time you've learned how to do that, your colleagues will have delivered multiple projects in most other languages with test suites that provide similar guarantees.
Wife picked up the Amex Plat right before the signup offer & annual fee changed drastically this year, offer was 10X on the first $15k spent on gas & groceries and 100,000 points after spending I think $6k within 6 months.

Only using it on gas & groceries, will average 16 points per dollar (approx 12-16%) when we reach $15,000 spent total.

The new deal is similarly structured but horrible in comparison, “shop small” is the category so it’s not realistic to max out the bonus spend without overspending.
In California the seller discloses as much as possible to the buyer - i) house inspection and pest inspection, ii) disclosures from the county, state, utilities district, iii) advisories of risk of wildfire, lead paint, natural hazards, earthquake; and much more. This is so that the buyer has as little possible recourse to sue in the future for losses on the property. This behavior also enables faster real estate deals b/c the buyer is more willing to offer without contingencies.

Merchants WANT people to use credit cards. There is nothing stopping merchants from offering a cash/debit price and a credit price since 10 years ago. The frank dodd legislation made illegal for card networks to ban offering discounts for debit card payments, and in Mar 2017, the Supreme Court said merchants cannot be barred from advertising higher prices for credit cards.

Many small retail stores in my area (delis, bodegas, restaurants) incentivize cash/debit. Not by charging less for them, but by charging extra for using a credit card.

Small retailers pay significantly more for CC processing than large retailers. 5-10x more, in some cases.

Purchase terms, disclosures about the property, disclosures about the area it's in, financing terms, HOA bylaws, HOA financing, and lots more HOA stuff, title information, tax information... basically as much fun as you can have.

Probably not the book you're thinking of, but Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book was a mix of reprinted old articles and new content that had a bunch of highly optimized (for 486) graphics routines. IIRC there was a 9-cycle-per-texel texture mapping routine.

No, the UK wasn't the only monarchy of a WWI belligerent to survive the war: On the allied side, Luxembourg, Siam/Thailand, and Japan survive to this day; Belgium, Serbia, Italy, Romania, Greece, survived WWI, and Hejaz and Nejd (the latter of which became the monarchy of Saudi Arabia) got monarchies created in WWI. On the central powers side, Bulgaria’s monarchy survived the war.
It's almost certainly a hack based on system management mode. Not sure how it does it, but SMM is even used to emulate the PS/2 keyboard interface (at I/O ports 0x60/0x61) when all you have is a USB keyboard. So it's likely that the chipset has some kind of "backdoor" to the USB controller that can be accessed from SMM.
I don't see how you figure. You get the disclosures long after you make your offer (although you do have a contingency if you don't like what you see, I think). And the mandatory disclosure system opens you up to more risk of lawsuit, since if you fail to disclose something you, in the view of the legal system, reasonably should have known, that's grounds for a suit (compared to MA, where I used to live, where you're free not to make a disclosure at all so you can't be said to have omitted anything). Also, dealing with the title company and all that definitely seemed slower than the system I previously experienced where both sides had lawyers to hash out small details.

Yes, this is all fine, until the parent of the fish who gets sent to the ocean says to the parent of the fish sent to the volcanic geyser, "well my kid is just naturally gifted, that's why we put them in the cool ocean water, all you volcano fish were holding him back, I mean just look at your test scores".

And then a fish says, maybe they're not naturally gifted, but just not poached, and everyone suddenly starts talking very specifically about fish in some alternate world that all share the same water. "What, are you saying there's no biological differences between fish, what kind of nonsense is this? If we explicitly assume there's no other factor involved then what is left but raw natural intelligence?" as if they're trying to miss the point intentionally.
Absolutely incredible work.
The forced changes to the init system and desktop gui are far more radical than anything Microsoft or Apple ever did. The init system change was also due to the GUI people. GNOME told everyone they must adopt SystemD or else you can't use GNOME anymore. It made people so unhappy there were forks, protests, and even suicides. If a system administrator woke up from a 15 year coma, they would have no clue how to use any of this stuff and would have to start over from scratch. How can we as open source developers, present a better alternative to big tech products if we keep dividing and conquering ourselves? To think about how unfair that is to the thousands of volunteers who worked hard to create these desktops and systems and treasure troves of stack overflow answers, that just get swept away two years later, it's a failure of leadership.

The runtime environment of the application itself is a separate matter from the environment needed during the fetch-and-configure phase for the modules that the application depends on.

This malware was lurking in an auto-executing script that runs upon merely trying to fetch the module. Under the regime that I outlined, malicious actors would be forced to try doing their dirty work within the module's business logic itself, which is far easier to mitigate—for example, with a policy where no code gets merged into the application without undergoing review, whether it is written by a third-party or someone on your team. In spite of all the craziness that the 2010s led to with the rise of specialized package registries trying to recreate CPAN (often erroneously called "language package managers") and giving the illusion that there is such a thing as a free lunch, we're going to have to eventually deal with reality and accept that this is the only reasonable way to approach software development for the stuff that we need to rely on (and that no amount of trying to sweep the problem under the rug with references to Trusting Trust will make the counterargument a sound one).
It is always anticipated that DRM will be cracked quickly. The point is that it steers most customers away from piracy, because that option is more complicated than buying it legitimately, or simply not yet available.

It doesn't need to last forever. For most games, most of its revenue comes in the first few months after its release. Mitigating piracy during that window is the name of the game.

> Point 3 is interesting, does it work across non-apt package managers?

At the very least it's not harmful. You could use something like repology or your own index to identify equivalent packages and then install them.

Really what you'd want would be a package manager-agnostic way to declare dependencies on things outside the Node universe, and then plugins for NPM that could use to assert they were satisfied in an appropriate per-package-manager way, and maybe optionally try to install them for you using the appropriate external package manager.

But the packagers for Node projects wouldn't be writing the mechanisms for that, they'd just be declaring the deps.

What the parent comment describes is what people who aren't capable of material or intellectual contribution do to products to create the illusion of value where none exists, or to manipulate users into paying as much as possible regardless of the effective value of the product.

This stifles development of things that are actually useful. It puts money and influence in the hands of people who shouldn't have either, creating bad incentives in the market and within the company. It gives marketing a gloss of false legitimacy, allowing for all the things that have us in a feverish race to the bottom.

it was a throwback down the memory lane and the years before my first Linux in 1995 i had been dealing with Windows where configuration of swap was "configuring virtual memory", so i automatically used that term.

> If you actually hit swap the system effectively deadlocks anyway

that depends. In many cases in the past the options would be either with swap and thus slow or pretty much not at all. And again these days there is so much memory that there is always a way to avoid the swapping. Though i've met funny situations in recent years like when a several terabyte sized database process would get killed by the OOMKiller on a machine with overcommit left on and no swap configured.

With «commercial products for Augmented Reality» I meant "systems that mix information to the environment in the visual field" - so, 'Augmented Reality Eyeset' (shortening as we were talking about optical displays).

As a long-time Rubyist, I freaking love autoloading and have gone to great lengths to implement it in new frameworks I've developed after using Rails for many years. I find it fatiguing and ofttimes infuriating whenever I have to wade into a TypeScript project and there's 30 lines of import statements before I can get to any actual code. Any syntactical "noise" in a programming language bothers me to no end…I prefer to write expressive syntax which is as close to thoughts in the English language as possible.

I'm not saying the OP is "wrong"—that is, they're more than welcome to use whatever language they like and write all the import statements they prefer. I'm just glad I can choose to do away with all those distractions.

There are good reasons, not all of which I know or understand, but my basic mental model is that the backing is required for various scenarios where virtual memory might need to get relocated, either in response to a malloc or to something else.

Also I agree on the value of being exposed to the old way of doing things. I started coding on the Amiga, and the way its OS worked (no memory management) forced me to grow sane habits when for example dealing with memory allocation: if I didn't free a buffer before my program exited, that buffer would remain allocated until the next reboot. I once had to debug a small assembly program of mine that lost a longword (4 bytes) at every run; turned out I missed it when doing pointer calculations with registers, and the journey to monitor the program activity, find the problem and correcting the error has been of tremendous help years later.
