Yep... even with covid, "it's just 14 days, to flatten the curve", "covid passports are just a conspiracy theory", "all vaccines are safe", "...except astrazeneca" ... "...except J&J" .... "...except moderna",.... add inflation denials, and yeah...

Basically the difference between conspiracy theories and reality was ~6 months.
The Wikipedia article on _IBM i_ (nee OS/400) is light on details, but eventually it links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-level_store and this part is prophetic:

> IBM's design of the single-level storage was originally conceived and pioneered by Frank Soltis and Glenn Henry in the late 1970s as a way to build a transitional implementation to computers with 100% solid state memory. The thinking at the time was that disk drives would become obsolete, and would be replaced entirely with some form of solid state memory.

...so they were literally 50-60 (maybe 70-80 at this rate) years ahead of their time.
You know, you could just... not use youtube. It actually isn't that hard.
The type sets proposal for Go has already been accepted as a clarification to the generics proposal [0]:

type SignedInteger interface {
~int | ~int8 | ~int16 | ~int32 | ~int64
}

Interfaces that contain type sets are only allowed to be used in generic constraints. However, a future extension might permit the use of type sets in regular interface types:

> We have proposed that constraints can embed some additional elements. With this proposal, any interface type that embeds anything other than an interface type can only be used as a constraint or as an embedded element in another constraint. A natural next step would be to permit using interface types that embed any type, or that embed these new elements, as an ordinary type, not just as a constraint.

> We are not proposing that today. But the rules for type sets and methods set above describe how they would behave.
Any type that is an element of the type set could be assigned to such an interface type. A value of such an interface type would permit calling any member of the corresponding method set.

> This would permit a version of what other languages call sum types or union types. It would be a Go interface type to which only specific types could be assigned. Such an interface type could still take the value nil, of course, so it would not be quite the same as a typical sum type.

> In any case, this is something to consider in a future proposal, not this one.

This along with exhaustive type switches would bring Go something close to the sum types of Rust and Swift.

I've had all the glitches you described with at least three last wireless headphones I used before switching to airpods pro. I haven't had a single problem like this with them, which I've been using for 2 months now.
I just love the way markets self regulate.
As your examples correctly point out, the sites documenting government abuses were not censored. Only the tinfoil wackos were taken down, so I believe in this particular case it works as expected. (later clarification: anyway I definitely don't like the way YouTube goes and I'd post my stuff also on other sites)
If you want to push back against the bureaucracy on this one, find a Firefox-only accessibility addon that can’t be used on their site, and play the ADA angle by sending a polite email mentioning that their negligent browser restrictions prevent “your favorite” visibility tweaker/screen reader/etc. from being used, harming the ability to access the site.

How Long Will Boosters Last?
Not following how this would work. So overnight demand of the NW and CAL looks to be ~60GW. Assuming you can get 20GW of hydro between the two (which is a bit above current peaks) as your supplement.

So you'd need enough solar to on the cloudiest of days to both keep things running with daytime demand in NW and CAL while still providing enough excess to (picking some numbers) charge up ~30% of the batteries, while the hydro runs to supplement charging the other ~30% of charge, so that overnight the 60% of charge can be drained in conjunction with the 20GW of hydro continuing to run. Why even rely on hydro if solar can still do all this, just build even more solar.

Seems shaky and fragile. And this is before you even get to solving the rest of North America.

I've been playing a little of the small-arena-survival game Warhammer40k: Dawn of War 2 (2009), and when starting, the AMD "The Future is Fusion" logo shows full screen. For the longest time this was kind of a sad memento to something lost, a future that never happened: Fusion was a ~2009 campaign for their APUs, their GPU+CPU chips, and other possible shared-memory systems.

Well, it's happening. Sort of. AMD is finally getting into the post PCIe game for reals this time. Only at the very high end of the market though. (Perhaps upcoming consumer GPUs might have such capabilities, but AMD seems to be only shipping literally dozens/hundreds of high end GPUs a month atm.) Fusion is happening... for the very big. Oh, and also, Apple, whose 200 / 400GBps M1 Pro/MAX chips are performing true wonders via fused/unified memory. The Steam Deck, with ~66GBps and integrated AMD APU/GPU, will be a next test. I'm not sure how consoles are doing these days, which is another strongly AMD corner.

In some ways, the Infinity Fabric 3 news makes me a bit sad. In it's past life, Infinity Fabric was known as HyperTransport (HTX), an open standard, backed by a HyperTransport Consortium, with roots supposedly going all the way back to DEC & Jim Keller (who Apple got some experience from too via the 2007 PA Semi acquisition) & other engineers seemingly. FPGAs, network cards, storage could all work closely with the CPU via HTX. In this new regime, Infinity Fabric is finally catching up with the also closed/proprietary capability of Nvidia gpus plus CPUs as well (only available on NV+Power architecture computers AFAIK). But outside players aren't really able to experiment with these new faster closer-to-memory architectures, unlike with HTX. For that, folks need to use some of the various other more-open fabric/interconnects, which are often lower latency than PCIe but usually not faster: CXL, OpenCAPI, Gen-Z, and others.

I’ve written a deflate decompressor and I’m not sure what correction you are trying to make. It seems like you’re replying to this comment to show off some details you know about deflate.
Still experimental and documentation is lacking, but right now the CLI behavior is almost identical to `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-cli`.

So, for example, `$ makod -datadir=foobar -chain=testnet` will create a data directory in `./foobar` and start syncing testnet.

`$ mako getblock 100 2 -chain=testnet` will return block #100 to you serialized as json.

In other words, it's something akin to this:

I can't help thinking that this is a decision mostly out of emotional attachment.

Petrolheads _really_ love combustion engines. If you like motorsport it is a visceral, sonic experience: turbo intakes, turbo wastegate explosions, straight-cut transmission whines.

You don't get into the industry without having at least some level of emotional attachment to all of that. EVs, lacking that sensorial component, make for objectively better, but emotionally neutral objects.

I have no problem relegating combustion engines to motorsport and remote locations where fuel density is critical. I also think it we should drive out ICEs from any barely populated area, as the externalities in air and noise pollution are incalculably high.

TL;DR: Certain Accessibility features relating to the pointer can cause your Mac to run out of memory on certain apps.

I bring this up because something as simple as the MOUSE POINTER can bring the system to its knees if not implemented correctly, and they expect all this heavily integrated functionality (AR, Siri, iCloud scanning) to work flawlessly? I fear even if Apple stopped adding new features entirely, they'd have a decade of corner cases to clean up.

I work on Mac, Win and Ubuntu all day. Mac & Win are neck-and-neck for crazy weird bugs I encounter as an every day, non-super user that are un-googlable (or return SEO garbage).

You make it sound like the National Data Protection Commission warnings of it being unconstitutional a minor thing....

If you read the commission comments on the law you will see several examples of how the video surveillance systems in Portugal are miss managed and abused.

This law opens the door to the use of AI in these systems and with all it's ethical issues.

After all, Portugal is not an unsafe country and local politicians are abusing the false sense of security that the video surveillance systems bring to win a few more votes, disregarding all the medium and long term consequences.

Sounds like you're just using the basic toggle switch to "disable" Wi-Fi when that's not really the purpose of the switch. If you actually want the Wi-Fi disabled, you have to do it right. Do it in the UEFI menu, or disable it in Device Manager if that option isn't available. It won't get re-enabled if you do it right.
It would be weird to make a policy just to prevent people's property from increasing in value, don't you think? Especially if you consider that improving the location (building better roads and infrastructure) would also increase the value.

That would be a typical socialist failure, I think, that would only ensure nobody can have nice things.

I don't think I would oppose policies that help other people, as long as they don't devalue my property (hypothetically, as I don't actually own any real estate).

I find what you said really interesting, mainly because I don't think I've _ever_ used likes or dislikes (or their ratio) as a metric for choosing what to watch. The most I've interacted with dislikes is when seeing some helpful low-production-value video, or some artist's music stream, I've wondered why 1-3% of the viewers disliked it. I mean, even when I've found _better_ or _more informative_ videos, I've never been tempted to dislike the previous ones I'd watched that weren't as good.

This is why everyone should read RMS's Right to Read story. Its not just about censoring the output, they want to censor our inputs too! While the RMS parable is less about censorship and more about drm its still relevant. [1]

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who are so bought into the tribalistic dialectic that, in the more recent version, they heard about all the censoring, they saw the people being censored were "those evil others" and said "yeah thats ok with me!", failing to understand the lack of principle would/will come for them next.

The beauty of it all is that I think the oligarchs are overplaying their hand to the point they are going to force a pendulum swing back the other way at some point. The counter-point to that is that with techno-tyranny at some point the oligarchs are going to be able to stop the pendulum swing.

What does this get you that you don't get by putting an unexported method in your Go interface today? Honest question, since I'm not 100% sure I'm sharing the terminology of the author, and I don't know if this is a matter of the author being unaware of this possibility, or aware and not satisfied for some reason I don't understand.

You don't get a literal enumeration of all implemented types in the interface specification itself, but it's still trivial/mechanical to extract all implementations of such an interface with some code tool, and no external package can add to the list.

(Since I've learned from experience this always comes up: If you put a method named 'unexported' on your interface, it doesn't matter if a value in some other package creates a method called 'unexported', the compiler will not consider it a match. An interface in some package with an unexported method can not be implemented by any other package.)

Your father can claim Shakespeare is good, but that doesn't make him right. I think Shakespeare is good, but that's a subjective opinion and holds no more weight than someone who thinks Dan Brown is a better writer /shudder.
> most people do not want to deal with giving permission to each and every one of these services.

It’s far worse than just annoying: if people have to give permission to a bunch of things they don’t understand, they will absolutely give permission to something they shouldn’t.

You want the user to make a few decisions as possible, and every single one should be an actual decision: where the user knows what the options are, has an actual stake, and might legitimately choose either option depending on their preferences and circumstance.

The more times they have to click “yes” without thinking, the more susceptible to malware they become.
Sorry if I didn’t grasp your point. I am trying to.

Maybe a simple set of questions would help:
You don’t feel some art is better or special?
Or you don’t feel a person can discern between art that is better or worse, even in the most extreme cases?
Or is it something else?

If you yourself are an artist, or own art, then surely you find some works better than others? Museums make these decisions about what to own. Do you believe one can judge some museums better or worse?

What is your goal for getting a degree? Be honest with yourself, then figure out how/why to achieve it.

If you just want a degree to say that you have one, and to complete something that you started, that's OK. But the way you approach solving that (casual evening courses over the next 3-4yrs) is different from "need a degree to get more specialized job", in which case it may be worth a more focused study to get your degree ASAP so you can change jobs.

If you just want to learn more about other topics, or go deeper - there's lots of approaches that don't require formal education. MOOCs, self-study with text books, seminars/auditing classes, etc.

Offline high speed data ingestion of multi-thousand file, multi hundred GB data sets, followed by rapid transfer to permanent online storage (and replication fan-out, etc).

Seems convenient to allow optimization for high speed sequential reads and random read/writes at different parts of the life cycle, along with indexing, crcs, signatures, etc.

One big issue with zip storing the index at the end of course is a truncated file basically lost most of it’s context and is generally unrecoverable even in part, which this could also help with from a durability perspective.

Storing it at the beginning (without a end pointer) opens up the possibility you have a valid looking archive you’re touching that is truncated and missing a lot of data, and won’t know until you look past the end (or validate total bytes or whatever, which doesn’t work well when steaming).

Storing the index at the beginning, pointer and file sig at the end, and all the other format extensions does solve for all this. Which is convenient.

Exchanges that delisted privacy coins were not doing so because they were viewed as illegal. Those businesses just didn't have the risk profile to ever take anything to court to solidify the obvious reality that they're not illegal. Their relationship with the regulators is too important for them.

Fortunately, CeFi exchanges are less of the volume these days than DeFi and institutional OTC. When I was using institutional OTC in the United States, they would make markets for me in Monero if I asked. If I said "I want to trade this random erc20 altcoin for Monero" they'd say "say less, we got you", and quote me a very competitive price. Same for moving dollars in and out.

But I've been using DeFi AMMs all year.

The DeFi bridges for bitcoin are fine as well. There are only 1 or 2 permissionless ones for Bitcoin itself, for now, but they're okay. Moving a few billion in volume already this year. The permissioned ones operate under the same risk profile and regulatory profile as exchanges do, so its not a deal breaker if you already use CeFi, and the user experience on any bridge can still be better - depending on what you want to do.

Even Monero has a permissionless bridge too now, on the Secret Network. so you don't even need any exchanges or those sketchy centralized swapping services to move in and out of Monero anymore, and from Secret Network you can bridge to the broader DeFi ecosystem.

This should get even better.

"If you live in Canada or, say, France, you are probably amused by this little thought experiment. And possibly drinking a beer from a small and dainty glass."

Not really. Yes we have one year parental leave here in Canada, but the $$ value of that is not very high all things considered. It's not enough to live on on its own. Maximum in Ontario right now is $595 CAD a week for the highest income earners and lower than that (2/3rds of pre-leave earnings) for others, and rents and housing have climbed very high, so in reality you still need a working spouse to make ends meet on that.

So, no, we're not laughing, but we do have sympathy.
> instead of being done by private individuals and charitable organizations

Private, un-accountable entities deciding who deserves help and who does not is feudalism, not democracy. We already have this issue with religious/-associated organizations denying help to LGBT or nationalist organizations denying help to non-Whites.

Government-ran operations may have their deficits, yes, but at least they are mandated to be available equally to all persons meeting the democratically decided criteria!
I kind of reject the premise of this Professor's argument. I use OKRs extensively up, down and across my business and at no point have I felt they masquerade for strategy.

You set a destination for the business through the creation of a vision and then create OKRs and KPIs to measure progress towards it and perhaps more importantly provide transparency.

It's simple, it just works, and I think this guy is just trying to be contrary for the sake of it.
All of these are great arguments when fully articulated! I wasn't disagreeing with you earlier :)
