The only people who could be said to be "in control of" a smart contract are the miners or validators producing blocks. But they are just executing the code of the blockchain and the smart contract, and if any one of them didn't do it, someone else would with no interruption of the network's functioning. So it is a real logical stretch to assert that they have any control.

I read through the comments here a couple hours ago and heard all the same arguments that come up whenever folks talk about emacs vs. other editors|IDEs|platforms|OS's. As such, I didn't feel the need to add my own comment to the fray.

But as I was scrolling through the front page, the title of the article struck a chord.

I'd say that emacs was never popular. It is (and always was) a fairly niche product used by those who found something about it compelling.

Even "back in the day" emacs usage was dwarfed by vi (vim didn't exist), notepad, Wordstar, WordPerfect and even ED/EDT[1].

Full disclosure: I am a long-time emacs user (25+ years, preceded by using the Epsilon Programmer's Editor[0] -- a commercial emacs work-alike -- for 5+ years).

> However that setup is saved forever, across machines in the form of your .emacs file

Until you use a plugin which is dead after the next update. Which happens a lot...

> Emacs lisp is more intuitive than JSON files

Not really. In the first place JSON is just data-format which usually is used through a proper GUI. There is not much you can do break there.

> But there's literally nothing I don't have with Emacs that other editors provide.

Which only means your horizon is too small to know the missing parts. Or your work is not specific enough to demand something not available in emacs.

If you are satisfied with emacs, ok. Good for you. But how will it benefit the popularity of emacs?
You find it shocking that, even thought it's no longer done, discussing things openly will open up someone to censorship and public persecution?

What did we do 25 years ago to discuss things? It sure the hell wasn't Twitter or Facebook. It was sitting down with the people around us and having a reasonable conversation that didn't include snippets from stupid corners of some webby thing.

It required thought and a reasonable search of the information at hand, which was slower back then. We were more methodical in forming our opinions and what we put our attention on.
Been there arguably from a worse position ( only an associates degree and only retail experience being an international student with a deadline to find a job to remain in the country) and my best advice would be to just apply and apply. Whether you like the jobs tech stack or not just apply. Once you get that first position everything will be a lot smoother. Remember, you don’t need to know everything. Soft skills are important too.
Maybe something like Preact CLI? It's not "no framework", but seems pretty close.

I don't like frameworks for web when they start creating their own syntaxes. As soon as I see something like

ngIf

or svelte's

{#if x > 10}
<p>{x} is greater than 10</p>
{:else}

or even Vue's

v-if or v-for

I start looking elsewhere. This is why I like React the best. It doesn't get in the way when I need javascript as it exists and it doesn't reinvent these mechanisms and primitives that are already completely sufficient.

The React primitives, especially today, are so easy to work with. Components in JSX can be treated like an object. They are functions that have a return value. They use hooks which are also just functions that return values. Both can be combined, composed, and manipulated with one another using the JS everyone knows (and I at least love).

Frameworks should be built up to preserve the structure that the language provide.

React does this the best.

It's not a framework like Angular but it's not meant to be. That's why we've also created frameworks like NextJS, and soon Remix (remix.run), and other solutions.

Even when using {} in react, the thing in the curly braces is JS. I'm not using a framework's invented conditional implementation, I'm using JS's conditional expression. I have access to the language and don't need to learn the framework's equivalent which is usually more verbose and less direct.
Having more logical/architectural registers is great except for a few costs:

1) More bits to encode register numbers in instructions. Doubling the number of logical registers costs another two or three bits depending on how many registers are referenced in an instruction

2) Logical registers have to be saved on context switches

3) Logical registers have to be saved around function calls. Either the caller or the callee has to save (or not use) registers, and most functions are both callers and callees. That is, if you are not a leaf-node function then every register you use you have to first save to the stack, or else assume that the functions you call will trash it. Thus, more registers have diminishing returns.

4) No matter how many logical registers you have you _always_ want to have an order of magnitude more physical registers, because otherwise you can't implement OOO or speculative execution.

Point #4 is probably the most critical because I think what people are really asking is why are there more physical than logical registers, and OOO/speculative execution is the answer.

Yes that's exactly the reason. I know them through friends
Of course any plain JS app I'd write would end up being a kind of nano-framework; for me, the difference is in the unnecessary complexity this approach would avoid. Vue, React etc. bring a lot to the table; sometimes I'd rather just write that tiny, less-than-ideal nano-framework because it's good enough and pulling in tons of dependencies feels unnecessary and might actually increase my app's attack surface. I'd like to keep the creature comforts of npm/yarn etc. though.
Well, that is one outcome. Another outcome is that they actually try to enforce it and the response undermines the law. Hard to say how to best predict what would happen in this specific case.
I think you might be overestimating what I mean by "can't" open my eyes under water. I think the 'touching a hot stove' metaphor is a good one. It feels like that to me.

> But what about 32-bit applications that have the system path hard coded and is running in a 64-bit Windows? How can they find the new SysWOW64 folder without changes in the program code, you might think. The answer is that the emulator redirects calls to System32 folder to the SysWOW64 folder transparently so even if the folder is hard coded to the System32 folder (like C:\Windows\System32), the emulator will make sure that the SysWOW64 folder is used instead. So same source code, that contains a path with the System32 folder included, can be compiled to both 32-bit and 64-bit program code without any changes.

This always rubbed me the wrong way. We can’t rename “System32” because it’ll break apps. So we intercept 32 bit apps into SysWOW64? Why not intercept 64 bit accesses to System32 and rewrite them to System64 or whatever?
TF2 is a less pure example. Some purchaseable items are purely cosmetic, others have effects on game mechanics.

You think every benchmarking site, even the sites that use open source software to benchmark is getting payed by Intel? Phoronix and Anandtech have open benchmark suites you can go and check the results yourself. You are arguing that commercial benchmark providers, open source software developers, tech journalists and enthusiasts and hobbiest are in a conspiracy to favor Intel in performance benchmarks without providing a single source stating your acquisitions except yourself. Insane.
Many things don't push the memory bandwidth and are cache friendly. However GPUs are bandwidth limited and the M1 Max does quite well against any other integrated graphics from Intel or AMD.

Even on the CPU side it can be a big win, in particular on SpecFPRate (a collection of heavy floating point real world codes, not microbenchmarks) Anand has this to say: The fp2017 suite has more workloads that are more memory-bound, and it’s here where the M1 Max is absolutely absurd. The workloads that put the most memory pressure and stress the DRAM the most, such as 503.bwaves, 519.lbm, 549.fotonik3d and 554.roms, have all multiple factors of performance advantages compared to the best Intel and AMD have to offer.

To drive this home compare the Spec2017 FP Rate, the M1 Max gets 81.07, the Ryzen 5950x (high end desktop with twice as many fast cores and a 105 watt TDP) gets 62.27.

So a low power M1 Max with half as many cores and much lower power is 30% faster than AMD's highest end desktop chip. Instead of a desktop size/volume/power, you can get it in a laptop that's 2/3rd of an inch thick.

Thanks for the informative reply. I'll have to try the BetterC mode. Scala Native allows you to do all the low-level stuff in the syntax of Scala with Java and C libs available that logically work at that level. Obviously, JVM-dependent libs will not work when you're bit banging with Scala Native. I just picked up the, "Systems Programming with Scala Native" book, which is promising for what I want to do. I just don't have any experience with it on real systems project yet...

From the description it seems like the nucleocapsid protein mutation is something that would make the virus more effective in any given host. Whereas a spike protein mutation would be specific to the host since that is a part of the virus that interfaces with the host cell. In that case I would expect such a protein to already be very optimized (even in a lab leak scenario). Am I missing something here?

I really wanted to like the GPD Pocket 2, after agonizing over buying it, but it turned out that I could not quite deal with the keyboard and was not adjusting to it. And so it sits, unused.

I'd argue this is demonstrably false if you include modern societies and even individuals that already greatly inconvenience themselves (or deny themselves in the first place) the ability to have large carbon footprints. The Amish come to mind but otherwise very orthodox religious societies and even some organic farmers you could argue are pretty carbon neutral. If anything they are the opposite of looked up to in pop culture.

It's all modelling. They also have to also say:

> The limited number and type of experiments in this study means that there is uncertainty associated with our extrapolated findings.

All results also use masks that are designed and rated for particular filtration properties, and are fitted with no leakage. I see basically none of the above in my day to day life. I'll say it again - there is incredibly limited evidence that the masks we all wear every day, with amount to random bits of cloth with gaping holes around the face (and are typically applied, removed, and re-used in a remarkably causal fashion for something that's supposed to contain biohazardous waste), do anyone any good.
I spent money on planet computers gemini, which I have been happy with, but one thing that came to a surprise to me was how the whole keyboard layout ecosystem works.
If going into a remote desktop, the remote machine needs to support the layout of whatever device you use. If you plan to use it for coding, better verify before relying on it.
Also you avoid writing CSS and designing like before CSS existed. Its more messy but a bit easier to learn then CSS. CSS is simply too advanced and powerful it takes years to master. Ohh and you can copy/paste components into your spaghetti code.

I tend to agree as well. I am on like 15 servers, and all but one are muted. I check them when I need to but a bunch of them (public ones) are over-done with rooms and it's difficult to find things from the past (yes, there's search but it's inefficient compared to looking at forum threads).

> The SpaceX bid basically won because SpaceX said "yeah we're going to spend to fund this capability anyway, hey NASA, want to come along for the ride?"

That was part of why SpaceX won but not the whole story. The US government has rules against contractors offering subsidised or excessively discounted services, because it has been burnt before by contractors who offer massive discounts to win the deal initially and then jack up the price once the government is hooked and switching costs have locked them in; many companies will see those initial discounts/subsidies/freebies as an investment to be recouped from the government at a later date.

However, SpaceX is allowed to do it because they convinced NASA their co-investment was commercial, that they have commercially realistic plans to use Starship for Starlink, commercial satellite launch, DearMoon and other space tourism missions in the future. By contrast, Bezos promises to tip billions of his own money in (only after BO lost the contract), but BO has no believable plan to commercialise their lander for other customers. That is why SpaceX can legally discount through co-investment, BO will find that much harder.

> I'm a bit shocked this got decided this quickly. This is on the order of months, isn't it?

Keep in mind this is a specialist court which only hears cases against the federal government, and many of those cases are contractors challenging government contract awards. It is in the government’s own interest to make those cases go as fast as possible, so they write the rules to encourage speed and provide the necessary funding—and the judges know what is expected of them and they oblige, especially because this is an Article I court not an Article III court, so it does not have life tenure, only a 15 year term. Gives judges greater motivation to keep the government happy, in case they want another appointment (maybe even one with life tenure this time) once their 15 year term is up.
The development cycle for SS13 works entirely off of random contributors throwing up PRs simply because they want to. Hundreds of contributors, thousands of PRs, and tens of thousands of comments and feedback on those PRs is what keeps the game constantly moving and updating on a multiple-times-per-day basis. Normally I would agree with you that this kind of development could never be matched, but SS14 seems to be taking the same approach of being very accepting to any developer who wishes to contribute even slightly. I think that that's the sort of approach that will make it work out in the long run.

Rust is for people who failed to learn C++ and went (language) shopping instead.

What else did you expect?
Funny thing is, databases were tightly integrated into programming languages all the way back in 80s - that's exactly what dBase was, and why it became so popular. FoxBASE/FoxPro, Clipper, Paradox etc were all similar in that respect.

And yes, it made for some very powerful high-level tooling. I actually learned to code on FoxPro for DOS, and the efficiency with which you could crank out even fairly complicated line-of-business data-centric apps was amazing, and is not something I've seen in any tech stack since.
I use it since many years and I could not use anything else. I installed it on my girlfriend's phone (non techie person) and she also loves it.
