I think there is zero chance of that happening.

MS recently made one tiny decision that was unfriendly to open source, it caused a huge outcry and a reversal within 48 hours on a weekend. I can't even imagine what the reaction would be in your scenario.

Besides, basically everything is open source now and you can't put that genie back into the bottle.
Yeah, I think my partner is tired of me me mentioning it when we read our 15-month son picture books. (Some of the best that I remember are in the book Little You.)
People forgot the last set of nuclear boondogels. Nothing sells a pyramid scheme like 10 years without one...
This is a really shoddy article: It is in a "small caps" newsletter, mentions a couple specific small cap mining companies, and does not provide any sources for the assertion that China will build 150 nuclear power plants. It just jumps to "Buy these stonks."
Definitely not as easy but Go managed to get it to work fairly well with some extra overhead. I would rather the language design for pure Java first and C interop second.
2 seems easy to defeat. If you know you're going to slow down 30 seconds to 5 minutes, you could just send the start packet 4 minutes and 30 seconds in, instead of at the beginning.

3 seems easy to defeat too. Just add a duplicate set of fields, which default to the same values as the original ones, and have the first set control the RNG and the second set control the display. Then you can change the second set all you want.
For VM languages no problem, all those languages will support threads or using threads.

For non-VM interopt it will block the carrier thread if a native call causes any sort of blocking.

In Java, external to the VM calls are almost non-existent so it's not much of an issue. Likely you'd do those sorts of calls as regular kernel threads instead of the Loom virtual threads.
Too late, alas, the submission has sunk largely without trace.

But thank you.

Thank you for sharing your talk.

Not on you, but this move (to RSC) looks like an absolute mess. All you're trying to do is render some HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to the browser. This is over-engineering at its finest. Looking at the demo repo gave me the shakes.
Does Israel even have laws against spying on its own citizens? If not, or very weak one, it's hard to imagine it wouldn't want to spy on them, especially any political opposition.
What happens when there are, say, 100 such sites spamming SEO and polluting results?

If the problem is significant enough to be a common meme, shouldn't search engines themselves be directly addressing the issue?

Because as it stands, I'm making a point of dropping search tools that provide worthless results. Yeah, Google, you.

These howtos involving cryptography should generally be ignored unless you actually understand the issues fairly well. The default configuration gets a lot of scrutiny. The stuff from "Big Bobs Super Secure" configuration howto mostly comes from the same sort of article. The ideas from these things take on a life and truth of their own after they circulate around a few times.
It is a pity that nuclear power is such an emotive subject. Nuclear energy has killed a lot less people than dams or coal mines (possibly even if you include the 2 nuclear bombs dropped on Japan, I haven't done the sums).

Not OP, but you're wrong about cost. Nuclear is more than twice as expensive as photovoltaics [1], so it's not cheap at all. And that doesn't include dealing with risks like proliferation and extremely hazardous waste for hundreds of years.

the half trillion comment came from the original article, that stated an estimated cost of 440 billion.

We recently got through upgrading a large code base from .NET framework to .NET core 3.1. It was quite challenging as it seemed to touch every corner of .NET including AppDomains, .NET remoting, serializing type information, C++ interop which requires environment variables to be set in process (that one is very obscure), etc, etc.

In any case, the performance results were really outstanding (particularly vs Mono) especially given we use C++ for many performance sensitive areas already. Looking forward to upgrading to .NET 6 in the coming months.

Great work! Congrats to the .NET team!
Just a quick note on this excerpt:

> Disallowing root login is also frequently recommended. I believe this has limited merit in our current landscape since 95% of the time, the user you log in with has sudo privileges. Then it adds no extra security. But you should really judge this for your own situation.

Disallowing explicit `root` login makes it harder for attackers to guess the usernames which have sudo access, thus I'd say it decreases the attack surface area. Yes, sudo gives them the same level of access as root but the path to get there from an attacker's perspective is not the same.
They exist, but they're expensive and have limited options. Haven't 4K 120Hz monitors and GPUs only been out for a year or two?

Of course, 4K 60Hz monitors have been out for years, but are still rather expensive.
> 29000 transistors? But it's the same as an ARM2 which apparently was full 32bit and had an integer multiplier.

It's a very good point. I think it's worth to ask a few questions in return.

How many years separated the two designs?

Does ARM2 support an equivalent ISA, in terms of features (not encoding)?

For instance, the 8086 has support for BCD integers, specialized instructions for loops, the ability to use its registers as 16 bits or 8bits (doubling the register count in the later case).
But that's the thing, if it took the whole string it would be fine, it extracted the exact right substring. There for 5 others in the same file. None I would have been able to distinguish from each other without context.
Actually people have analyzed the issue at scale and concluded it's doable with renewables. It's not that difficult to find these studies, if you actually care to look for them.

Whether you believe those studies or not is immaterial, though, because the economics of renewables are going to win in the end. Ten years ago you could have reasonable discussions about whether that was the case or not, but the trends did continue. The other day I saw a forecast of 0.04 USD/kWh for offshore wind within a few years.
.NET 6 (or 5, or Core 3.1) is absolutely fine for personal projects. The tooling is great, it runs on Windows and Linux, the web stack is miles better than Spring Boot.

But if your personal projects are a stepping stone to a programming job, then .NET has a monstrous legacy problem. In 2002-2007 a lot of code was written using .NET in enterprises: it was the best way to write a rich desktop application for Windows and ASP.NET WebForms, while terrible, were an okay stack for intranet websites, certainly not worse than PHP5 without Yii or Laravel. And if you were a Microsoft shop, you got the best integration with MS SQL Server and (oh Lord) BizTalk if you used .Net.

But then Rails and Google Chrome came out and completely upended the webapp industry. Microsoft has been playing catch-up ever since.

A modern startup could certainly use .NET 6 instead of the framework of the month to write their world-shattering program, but they won't, because .NET isn't cool. A lot of .NET jobs are in stuffy enterprises where you likely won't be paid to write a backend to a Svelte SPA in .NET 6, you will be paid to maintain an ASP.NET WebForms 2.0 monster that uses WCF to talk to some SOAP/XML webservices.

Of course, the same applies to JavaEE, but Java has a second leg to stand on: people wrote FOSS in Java back when it was a dirty word at Microsoft, so not everything in Java shops is a terrible Spring/JavaEE mutant that has to be configured using vendor-specific XML.

The major issue is everyone wants to preach about climate change but nobody actually does much in their personal lives to help solve the problem.

For instance, I live in a fairly liberal area and a few of my friends bring up climate change from time to time, but they literally all drive gas-powered SUVs... I've jokingly brought it up with one of them and they basically said "I think we should focus on big corporations bc they pollute way more than 1 person"... I drive a tiny gas-powered car but I also don't ride around on my high horse talking about other ppl destroying the planet

I'm at the point where I don't really believe what people say when it comes to this kind of stuff, and judge people based on their actions, because it seems like just about everybody is willing to talk, but not many who are willing to walk. And I only say "judge" bc that's what people are asking me to do when they opine about how they think bad things are bad. Like, cool, you think definitively bad things are bad... if I had a cookie to give.. /rant

Calm down. Yes, some things are shit in Portugal. €0.2246 per kWh is not cheap but it is not crazy high.

"Renewables account for 72% of Portugal's consumption in 5-mo 2021" May be important for the future

I know real estate prices in Portugal are crazy. 500k in a city and you get a golden visa. Hence every decent apartment is 500k or more. In a country were the minimum salary is around 500 euros.

Look the the future. Portugal can and is attracting an nearly infinite supply of young people from Brazil, Angola, Mozambique. The future is good. Likely better than Italy.
The problem isn't so much so that Python 2.7 the language is old, but rather that the implementation is no longer supported - including security issues.

Having said that, 2.7 still has commercial third-party support, e.g. from ActiveState. Which, presumably, will be around for as long as there are enough users willing to pay for it.
Thanks for saying it so I didn't have to. I'm hard-pressed to see how Shopify are significantly harmful. They deserve their success.
> once they’re behind the wheel

Keep in mind that most cyclists are also drivers, and in the latter role many of them also don't seem to care. These debates often sound like we're talking about two disjoint groups of people, with one having a grievance against the other, but in reality they're just different transport modalities that people switch between.
This is strangely addictive. But I'm a graphic designer by trade and it's satisfying proving to my family that I can eyeball most measurements to a reliable degree.
You might be right on the minor local point that we would still have a climate problem if the US went all-in on nuclear, but it would be a lot easier to get the US to pass border adjustments (“carbon tariffs” if you will) on China or whomever if our emissions were in good shape. We wouldn’t have a fossil fuel industry lobbying hard to preserve pollution and there wouldn’t be as much pearl clutching about the effects of the economy. Moreover, if we had 70 years of investment in nuclear, we would probably be able to quickly and cheaply stamp out safe, cost effective nuclear power plants all over the world (think about how much progress on SMRs could have been made in the same amount of time). Moreover, abundant, cheap energy would have almost certainly precipitated the electrification of everything from heavy industry to transportation to indoor heating/cooking/water-heating/etc (on the near-certain assumption that nuclear would be far cheaper than fossil fuels).
> All that being said I really dislike the US system where you can pass a police car driving 75 on the 101 and he doesn't care. There has to be some enforcement of the rules.

The US system is a probable cause generator.
Reading some more, it does look like Zillow was in fact leveraging humans in the loop https://venturebeat.com/2019/12/11/why-explainable-ai-is-ind.... What seems like a likely explanation is that the proper balance between machine and human judgement was not calibrated to this current market.

"Part of the challenge of Zillow Offers’ human-in-the-loop system — any such system, really — is finding the balance between humans and machines. “In order to optimize this human-in-the-loop system, we’d like to figure out when the human is best, when an assistive situation is best, and […] when a machine is best,” said Fagnan."

Aircraft fuel is pretty much untaxed in most countries in the world.

Since a plane can easily fly from country to country, any country who taxed airline fuel would simply deter planes from visiting.

Probably the biggest climate move that could have happened at COP26 would have been a global agreement on $1/liter aircraft fuel tax. But it didn't happen.
> as the language of choice

I'm not sure that's an appropriate phrasing. The word "choice" implies that alternatives are available, and there a decision was part of the selection. I think "Has been used for the language that momentum has demanded" might be more accurate. ;)
The best I can steelman is that they're sitting on data that shows users actually want the current behavior which is why it's there (which could be true? I don't know - I'm not the average user).

They'd have to disambiguate that from the obvious motivated reasoning that's likely to exist there too.

Even then, sometimes you know better than users when making long term bets about what you do, faster horses and all - it's part art and part science.

Average users are also not necessarily the best to optimize on. 99% of wikipedia users never write anything. Does that mean the users that write are relatively worthless?

Not to be outdone by NYC, this happened in Chicago, too:

> A Tribune examination of overturned red light tickets revealed evidence that the city of Chicago has quietly cast a wider net to snare drivers since switching camera vendors earlier this year amid a bribery scandal.

> A before-and-after analysis of photographic evidence and interviews with experts suggests the transition to a new vendor last spring was accompanied by a subtle but significant lowering of the threshold for yellow light times.

> smart contract sound like some magic sauce, but in fact aren't anything magical, they are short programs that can be executed on public data in the ledger, that's it.

The only ways they can modify this ledger is publically and immutably defined at the creation of the smart contract. Sure they're not magic, but at any given time, you can query events published by that contract and query that contract's state. That's at least different than the traditional internet.

It may feel like I'm moving the goal posts but I'm just trying to highlight the differences between the stuff that happens on the traditional internet vs web3.
I believe it is way before Fukushima, don't forget Chernobyl and Three Mile Islands. Chernobyl is fresh on a lot of people minds back then because of how disastrously it is. It took years to get people to start to be comfortable with nuclear plants after series of regulations and safeguards to ensure maximum safety to avoid another Chernobyl. Until Fukushima fked it up for everyone else. It is not because people don't want another Fukushima, it is because people don't want another Chernobyl and its severe fallout spread to Europe and Asia. Also it didn't help when the government, USSR, tried to keep it a secret from the rest of the world and refused to take responsibilities. I don't blame the citizen for not trusting the governments when it come to nuclear power plants due to those disaster events.
I generally agree that “toxic” is over used, but here it seems warranted. How else would you describe an attempt to co-opt the emotional processes of family building in order to make workers more loyal to you, especially when that loyalty is transparently asymmetrical? Perhaps I’d be inclined to specifically call it manipulative and deceitful, but “toxic” is much more succinct and not incorrect.
So you're saying that if a company is successful they should be penalized? That sounds like an awful incentive structure for any industry.

The standard for anti-trust is that the company must behave in an anti-competitive way. I think this probably makes more sense.

Exactly--one such example is Toyota's export lots sitting in the western approach path at PDX, and Liberty International sitting right next to the Port of Newark. We have a ton of examples on social media if you care to see more.

I've been trying not to get too in the weeds with use cases right now as we're building because they really are endless, but supply chain intelligence and insurance are massive categories based on those who have expressed interest.

Weather is certainly an issue, but one that is shared with optical imaging satellites. SAR definitely helps with clouds and night shots, but with 100k flights per day the odds of getting at least one usable shot from a plane is far greater than a satellite due to revisit rates in orbit not matching weather changes in the troposphere.
Well put. Shifting the problem around doesn't solve it.

Nothing says "we love the planet" more than a mountain of old dongles, broken and cracked iphone charger cables, and unrepairable consumer electronics.

Not correct. Locals get socialism. Foreigners ultra capitalism. Portugal is a tax haven but only for foreigners. We exchange EU visas and tax isentions for money to sustain the socialist ideology.
Many of my searches these days are just <search terms> reddit. This is especially true when trying to find reviews or recommendations for products I want to buy.

Smartphones started from scratch supporting displaying the same content on displays with various sizes and DPIs. Computer apps and window managers were long stuck with bitmap / pixel perfect UI frameworks.

There was little to no demand for displays above HD before Apple gave devs the incentives to make their apps support HiDPI by introducing retina displays. Windows took really long time to offer similar support. Linux was (is?) waiting for Wayland to solve this issue.

I can chime in on this one. I think it's very much a 'culture' thing.

So, I'm a *nix guy. You know, running Sway WM, using Doom Emacs as my daily driver, that sort of a thing. Learned vim to write my thesis at night on an armchair where using the mouse was not comfortable.

Not long ago I accidentally got involved with a kind of a .NET consulting gig. Rather, I got involved as a domain expert to help out some SaaS startup dealing with that domain, and it just so happened that they were writing their thing in C#. Before that I hadn't used C# at all, mainly dealing with Python and C++. I liked the language, I thought the tooling on Linux was pretty decent. The ecosystem was a bit lacking for the domain in question, but it had other nice things going for it.

But there was definitely a bit of a culture clash with the .NET guys. As an example, I did my domain thing in a pretty much self-contained library. While writing it I needed something that would be 'just data' without any additional 'functionality' attached to it, so I naturally reached for `struct`, given that it exists in the language. The .NET guys asked why it was not a `class` instead. See, somewhere deep inside they felt that not wrapping everything in a `class` is wrong on some fundamental level. Later, I had to touch the rest of the codebase a bit. At one point there was something I felt was a 'one-line change', that took 12 files to edit. Mostly routing calls through different auxiliary classes because 'architecture'. And you know, I'm really not trying to diss those guys. They were nice, capable, smart, productive, good people. It's just that I was very evidently from a different 'tribe'.

So, I personally like the direction that .NET is taking. I think that this release has very nice things in it. Such as the statically linked binaries, and compilation to webassembly. I also believe that modern .NET has a nice value proposition in being able to use your code across the board in many contexts and settings. On top of that, both C# and F# are nice languages.

But I won't be looking for .NET jobs, or putting that .NET stint on my resume, lest some recruiter gets the wrong ideas!
