If you think that a specific routine or algorithm is memory bound, you should always do a quick benchmark to check this assumption.

In practice everything is memory bound because of course the CPU is faster than memory, but you'd be surprised by how difficult it can be to reach the full CPU capacity.

"Memory bound" or "Network bound" are way too frequently used as poor excuses by lazy coders.
I also can't think of the last time I saw Twitter's Failwhale, which almost became their default mascot at one point.

SearX is a project which we respect and a positive contribution to improving search choice. Consideration of how it might be being used is wise.

It's also wise to do due diligence on any company/service where you are revealing sensitive personal information. Traffic coming from Google in 2006, for sensitive medical search queries was a catalysts for us going public in 2006 on our strict no-tracking policy and we maintained that position.

We have yet to be contacted by authorities, but you'll have to trust us on that one for now. Since we don't log any personal or identifying data at all, we would have nothing to share [0]. You can read about our investors on our blog.

Building and maintaining a search engine with independent infrastructure has a huge challenge and has meant building proprietary IP over many years. Since we refuse to use techniques used in growth hacking such as analytics from you know who, and all tools involving any tracking, marketing is a bigger challenge than it is for companies without strong principles. It has been a mammoth effort, by mostly our founder whose story you can read here [1].

> antithetical to human dignity and people's freedom

This is an extraordinary claim and thus requires extraordinary proof. Speaking for myself, I feel absolutely no loss of freedom or dignity through the presence of cookies, pixels, etc. Quite the opposite, actually. Some of the greatest technology in human history is available to me for free thanks to them. That’s rather liberating.
This is missing a lot of detail around libc (can't comment on the others), but was published ~1.5 years after musl was first released - I can imagine the subtleties being missed in a glibc monoculture.

To expand a bit:

1. dlopen has interactions with static linking that you should understand if you use both at the same time. Different libcs expose different symbols for libc functions, so building your dynamic library against one libc may make it incompatible with another. And two libcs in the same program (one from the dylib, one from the binary) is a recipe for a very bad time - imagine freeing a pointer allocated with a different malloc implementation, or a different layout of libc structs

2. the complexity with glibc is it invokes dlopen as part of NSS, a feature that gets used as part of looking up users, among other things (it does this to allow integration with LDAP etc). You can actually see warnings at link time if you statically link glibc but pull in symbols that use NSS. You can disable NSS if you like at build time of glibc itself [0] (i.e. not your binary)

3. musl doesn't have the complexities of NSS and can be statically linked happily by default (I suspect that's probably what musl is most used for)

Looks like i replied to wrong comment. Wanted to reply to use linguae below. Sorry about that.
Yeah that's how I used to think too, but we can characterize it another way if we want to. The costs of upkeeping the codes that keep us safe should be born by those that test their limits.

But in the end, to me it is much simpler than that: This is a minor annoyance at worst. Imagine losing a family member due to ignorance or recklessness of others. Or prolonged, acute illness due to a misdiagnoses and subsequent medication complication. An engagement ending without notice because you answered a question innocently and honestly and it caused them to re-think the whole thing.

These are real problems.

Sadly I don't have a link, but as far as I remember rep movsb was always hilariously slow. So memcpy implementations tried to optimize copies using half a page of vector instructions with size and alignment tests, which of course killed the CPUs instruction cache.

Been in the situation when I was my own QA. You can just not do it at that point because you won't find the errors you made anyway, otherwise you might not have made them in the first place.

> lots of 'little' things that add up to a big thing.

Yes. Another way to think about it is that we have a situation where people/citizens as a whole are hurt rather than individuals.

It boils down to the argument of whether or not these concerns apply to individuals that have "nothing to hide". I say yes, it does.

What happened with Facebook and Cambridge Analytica is an example of what the future holds. Was any specific individual "hurt" by Facebook and Cambridge Analytica providing massive amounts of information to bad-actors running disinformation campaigns? No. Was democracy as we know it hurt? Yes.

I agree, I disabled my voicemail a decade ago for this exact reason (it's a lot slower and more of a faff if you're in public) but unfortunately some people in my life are adopting voice messaging and there's not a lot I can do beyond a polite "I'd rather you didn't do that".

It's definitely a much worse experience for the recipient, I think new social norms of asking first are probably the best solution. I wouldn't ring someone who wasn't expecting a call without asking them if they were free to call first for example, and I think the same should apply to voice messages.
The Way-Forward Machine: Judaism's Longevity and Long-Term Thinking
If you look up the DC-10's history, you'll see a grimmer picture than the 737 Max, as the DC-10 had several physical flaws that were covered up, some of which could lead to disabling of the control surfaces.

The Max has definitely been bad, especially for the modern era, but unfortunately, lack of training on the system at fault is also a significant factor in the crashes. Had pilots known more about the system, the crashes could have been prevented.

There's speculation that the acquisition of McDonnel Douglas brought in some bad company culture that lead to the Max issues.
I'm interested to know where Germany got that narrative, because nowhere else had it. The conversation in the USA and elsewhere is quite binary because what the "experts" said was binary. In December 2020 Fauci was saying:

"We know for sure it's very, very good, 94 percent, 95 percent in protecting you against clinically recognizable disease, and almost a 100 percent in protecting you for severe disease."

We know for sure it has 95% protection against disease. As recently as July the world was being told that the vaccines can prevent COVID-19:

https://cdn.pfizer.com/pfizercom/2021-07/Preprint_Post_Hoc_P...

"remains highly efficacious in preventing COVID-19"

"has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an
Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019"

Clearly those statements were wrong and they didn't realize it, despite presenting these claims with extremely high levels of confidence. There certainly wasn't any notion of "we have no idea, gotta try to find out lol".

I want to give a shout-out to the Indian government and whichever activists and legislators were responsible for the Right To Information laws. I was looking for IEC 60958 (the S/PDIF standard -- granted, not ISO but still proprietary) and found it available free on the Internet thanks to those laws, and presumably having been referenced in some other Indian law. The cover page [1] even includes affirmations of the right to knowledge. I wish other democracies could pull this off too.

As far as "very few jobs" goes: sure, it's less than other languages. That comes with any new technology. But it varies heavily by discipline. The work my company does (program analysis and cryptographic research) already has a thriving Rust ecosystem, and demand for engineers is currently above demand for Rust jobs. My understanding is that things are similar in the network engineering space, at least at the larger companies.

This will probably change the default perception. Nowadays, if people see something online, they assume it's real. The reverse will prob be true in 10 years.
I'm sure it does, but I speak from experience where there wasn't much of a difference in volume between the earpiece speaker, and the speakerphone. Most people had their earpiece loud enough that if I was close enough I could hear it just as loud as when they used speakerphone mode.

With a lot of (cheaper) phones the speaker is also terrible enough that the different modes don't make much of a difference.

> Wouldn't the various Chinese languages, and Japanese scripts, have way more characters?

It depends on how you define "character", I guess. The hirigana or katakana "alphabets" have 48 characters. These alphabets map best to the western use of characters.

Kanji is probably what you are thinking of, where each word in Japanese gets its own "character". There are ~50,000 different kanji symbols.
PAC P-750XL Is unpressurized so is able to significantly lower the dry mass per passenger. I noticed this difference while researching the different dry mass numbers. The low speed unpressurized utility aircraft like the P-750XL ARE able to get lower per passenger mass, but the experience is not comparable as they are unpressurized. Among pressurized jet aircraft, the larger jets do universally better per passenger than the smaller.

The real key to making electric aircraft feasible is to increase the efficiency dramatically. (Also, jets don’t have >60% thermal efficiency if you use the HHV of the fuel.) just a swap out of the fuel for battery gets you to a few hundred miles of range at best. Enough maybe to compete with the California HSR, but not much more.

It’s like how a Tesla Model S is not a battery swapped sedan. It’s a custom clean sheet design. That’s why you can get 400 miles of range in it instead of just 150 miles.

Likewise, you need a clean sheet battery electric aircraft design. That’s why the Eviation Alice is able to get significant range. Incorporate 777x-like folding wingtips and possible truss braced high aspect ratio wings, natural laminar flow like sailplanes, you could increase L/D to about double current aircraft. Things like that allow 1000 mile range. Substantial enough for short haul trips, which are about half of all passenger miles.
In fairness, 'opinion' is a horrendously vague and ill-defined word. It does double duty as (i) 'normative value' and (ii) 'personal understanding of the descriptive facts', which two senses are constantly confused - for example right here.

That's why we constantly get "it's just my opinion" used in reference to type-ii opinions (personal understanding of descriptive fact), when it's only really appropriate to type-i opinions (normative value).

Many conversations would be far clearer if it were abandoned in favour of more precise language, IMPUOTDF.

I guess another way to look at this is just another tax that you have to pay.

This tactic is underhanded though in that it favors those who don't pay the tax and take risks without knowing the code (they have more money left if they win the gamble).

EDIT: plus, a "buy this law" tax is regressive: those who do the least work subject to this tax will bear the highest tax/unit of work costs. E.g. a private person remodelling their house will pay the same 300$ as the huge construction company.

It also creates a hurdle for new entrants, who don't have any existing connections from whom they could borrow the book.

When it comes to financing the research on law, there are ways that have better properties than those above (like a tax on work done).
