You probably want a virtual filesystem as well.

You may want kernel modules.

For anything that is not a completely static server you may want some kind of devfs.

Then there is the issue of graphics output.

Virtual machines require a bit of kernel support.

What about container support?

Personally I don't like shared libraries, but for people who do you need shared memory support.

Multi-threaded programs? Support for multiple CPUs?
Any reasoning/source or this is just what you wish for / want to believe?
Used PL/1 in one of my first programming classes at university. Never before or since, but I don't recall it being a bad language to work in.
Yes Facebook is more loose with targeting then it represents to its ad buyers, but also as buyers are notoriously bad at selecting clever targeting. There is a case of misaligned incentives. The more highly-targeted ad, the more likely it leads to a sale, yet for Facebook or really any ad seller they want to maximize the revenue of every impression, and broadly targeted (irrelevant) ads fill that demand quite nicely. Less filters = more potential revenue, even at the expense of their advertiser’s ROI. It’s a balance. It’s also why if you are buying ads you never try the platform-provided tools, which claim to optimize for ROI but generally tend toward yield. Google’s liberal suggestions of broad-match keywords are not to be trusted.
The PDP-11 MMU was more powerful than what existed in the 8088/8086. It provided a supervisor/user distinction and didn't allow user code to go to town on the MMU directly. Yes, being a true 16 bit system, it was limited to 64KB total in each address space, but there was both

* True process isolation since user code couldn't load whatever they wanted into the base registers like on an 8086,

* True pages, so that the entire 64KB didn't have to be contiguous like on a 8086, but was instead broken into 8KB pages that could be mapped, shared between process, and mixed together in different places in the virtual address space.

Everything you're saying applies equally to the 32bit virt/36bit phys PAE world that we had for a while, and I wouldn't call that a simple MMU.
Will people ever get over sensationalism and learn to live with it? It will continue to mutate and spread for years to come. Putting life on pause should've never been an option because of the toxic precedent it created.
I actually find playpilot.com really useful for checking where to watch something.

I wish they'd be more straight-to-the-point, and have fewer pop-ups, but on the plus side they have quite niche streaming services available and can filter availability by country, which is really nice.

Their recommendation engine is laughably awful, and you can't do searches for things like director or studio, so it's not useful for discovery at all. But if a movie or series comes up in conversation, it's the best I've found.
It depends on if you think the government exists for the betterment of society as a whole or for the betterment of the individual.
Most people (even self declared environmentalists) still take commercial airplanes.

If even environmentalists can’t stop flying - literally the most important thing you can do as a individual to help the globe - we have no hope for others to take necessary reductions in quality of life.

It’s clear we either need to accept climate change, or engineer some other solution.
Is there some kind of benefit? Or just an overkill with 4096?
I could have addressed that side as well, but I didn't think it was necessarily relevant to the point. There's also now diverging definitions of what defines "anti-vaxx". Anti-vaxxers might be against all vaccines, or anti-vaxx might mean being against the mRNA vaccines for SARS-CoV2, and then sometimes I get labeled as such (or as a sympathizer) because I think there are valid concerns about these vaccines.

In terms of the OG anti-vaxxers, I agree that they did and perhaps do still play a significant role in fostering distrust. In my opinion, that's just too easy a point to make. Did I really need to make a point about it? It's not really a controversial opinion to state on HN that people who are out of touch with reality share responsibility for vaccine hesitancy.

What's more important is that we recognize that this issue doesn't exist in isolation. I do not buy that the extreme anti-vaxxers share the bulk of responsibility here. The authorities had a chance to get everyone on board, and they totally blew it. Anti-vaxxers could have not existed before this pandemic and they would have still been created as a part of the radical shifts in global societies and how power structures have used tactics that appear to rather intentionally create divisions.

> And how it is only democrats who are responsible for some anti-vaccine claims despite massive anti-vaccine, anti-masks campaigns from republican politicians.

Yes, that is true, and I corrected myself before I even saw your comment.
Interesting! This honestly does not seem that awful to set up at all.
The whole purchase amount plus interest is taken from the credit card limit and every month you are charged for those installments.

If you don't pay in full your statement, you pay regular Brazilian credit card interest rates (i.e. very high) on top of the BNPL interest rates.

Some stores that have high cash flow may opt to not explicitly charge interest, opting to discount the price if you pay in full or charging the same price no matter whether paying in full or in 12 installments.

It's important to note that the Brazilian BNPL scheme is enabled by the credit card acquirers, so there's a high degree of integration.

From a big-picture perspective: people quitting jobs to "grind" through a game to "win" tokens makes no sense. There is literally no productive value from it. I don't understand how it can be anything other than a ponzi scheme.

Playing games as entertainment is totally fine (and worthwhile). But if people in poor countries are quitting jobs to do this -- to "make money" -- it is a real tragedy.
Adding to D3 to a multivitamin a few times a week is not that hard.

It seemed risky at the time as you were paypaling a bunch of money to these guys overseas without any storefront. But the replies and the great reviews seemed genuine enough that I would have if I had the funds to get another laptop.
Only for very low end systems. Most PDP-11s running Unix had something like the KT-11D MMU providing true paging hardware.
So?
Lots of things do.
Good programming practice would be to carefully segregate the security parts of it from the non, and keep that part small and carefully thought out.

The biggest thing for me, which I haven't seen others mention is going to sleep when you feel drowsy as long as it's a reasonable time.

I'd like to go to sleep around 10 pm, but if I get drowsy anytime after 7 pm and push through it, I'm likely to end up not sleeping until midnight or later and not usually accomplishing much with that awake time. It's better if I recognize the opportunity and head to bed right away. That also means I had to have had my evening meal earlier and be ready to get into bed quickly.

Quality sleep is important too, if there's any chance of sleep apnea, you should check that out.

If you take naps, don't do it too late in the day.

Lots of comments already about caffiene; everyone is different but I've noticed lots of subtle effects on me as I pay more attention.

Regular exercise is helpful, timing during the day may make a difference too.

> There was never a time when your end consumer device could be used as even a semi-reliable web server.

Since about 1999 I have never NOT been running a server of some kind off my home connection. I wouldn't run a business off of it that way, but it's reliable enough to count on it which has to meet any sane definition of semi-reliable. The two biggest problems I've had have been essentially unrelated to the internet. The first is when I've been violating TOS of the ISP or the power was unreliable in the place I lived.

How to Migrate Redis Data Using Redis-Shake
Which is funny because I've heard that feature branching isn't the cool way to go about things now.
Okay so I write a prepared statement, send it to my database with some parameters, and get back some rows. Now what? How do I turn those rows into structs or objects or whatever that I can pass around for business logic? Maybe I write a function that takes a row and maps it to an object, I call that for every row I get back, whatever. Oh but now I'm joining a belongs-to relationship and I want that joined row represented as an object, too, so I have to write a function to convert that row and oh what if the fields have conflicting names okay I can always prefix them with the name of the table and wait sometimes I'm not querying with this related object so I have to check if the related id is included in the row and... on and on and on for every possible way I could make a different query.

Great, now I've basically reinvented an ORM but it's worse because I have to manually maintain all this mapper code and it only ever accounts for the cases I've considered. If I make it fully generic, then I've really just reinvented an ORM.

There have been fraudulently obtained passes sold on the dark web. There have also been numerous arrests throughout the whole of Europe for this.

The vast majority of the dark-web suppliers are scammers - many of the adverts include a mix of QRs people have posted to social media and a large number of example QR. Including examples that I have generated in the past and used in presentations / on github.

> But no, there's no general compulsory universal service for internet.

The Universal Service Fund has been supplying funds for broadband deployment for decades. However, ISPs have a long history of pocketing those funds without the promised deployments (eg:Frontier@WV,Verizon@PA) - usually w/o meaningful consequences, due to regulatory capture.
Also, did you come across a situation where your Aurora bills were increasing with the amount of workload due to increase in IOPS ?

No. The higgs is a field that gives some elementary particles themselves (the W and Z bosons) mass, but doesn't necessarily say anything about gravity or how gravitic 'force' is transferred.

There was a lot of media hype about 'the god particle' that doesn't really translate into reality. I've said this in another comment, but if you add up the mass of the constituent quarks of a neutron, you get approximately 1% of a neutron's mass. The majority of the mass comes from interactions with strong nuclear force which are mediated by gluons, which are themselves massless.

There is no current agreed upon understanding of quantum gravity or if gravitons exist. I think the big contenders right now are String Theory (which seems to be having issues progressing in a way that is useful) and loop quantum gravity, but there are a lot more theories than that.
In Arabic too, it means trying to mediate to get commission.
Hacking society has a long and rich tradition, albeit primarily composed of a long series of failures.

Ha, didn't know there was a Xi between "N" and "O" in the Greek alphabet. I don't wonder why they skipped it.
Not OP but I remember reading that with the way the vaccine works, as long as it’s classified as a variant you should be covered. If you’re not covered anymore (assuming the full vaccination is not outdated) that means it’s most likely a new virus rather than a new variant. I can’t find a proper link to quote tough, so you can assume this is totally wrong. Nevertheless, the logic behind it makes sense (to me at least).
Deprecating unencrypted HTTP is a big systemic improvement even though some individual sites may not benefit much. It's a network effect. (What's the money grab given free let's encrypt certs?)
To be nitpicky -- The AS/400 is not a mainframe, it's what IBM calls a "midrange system" positioned between commodity x86 servers and mainframes. Today, the AS/400 OS (OS/400, or as it's known now, IBM i) runs on IBM's POWER servers. For a typical IBM i system you're talking a couple 10s of thousands of dollars, for a typical mainframe you're in the hundreds of thousands.

Also regarding the power of mainframes: in the case of AS/400, it's definitely not what I would call fast. Everything runs on what is essentially a virtualization layer... the AS/400 instruction set (MI, or "machine interface") doesn't exist in any hardware, it's just run on top of a translation layer on top of (these days) POWER. It's a very weird system from top to bottom.

As for actual mainframes, traditionally the power came not from raw CPU power, but from an architecture that efficiently handles parallel I/O. Definitely powerful for batch processing of large amounts of data, but not necessarily optimized for something like games.
Wait, it’s hard to take you seriously if you think India pays below market rate for coal from Australia. Is that really your stance or am I misreading that?

They have domestic production that accounts for a significant portion of domestic electricity generation that is bought at market value and then sold commercially through government supported subsidy to help their economic needs.

This isn’t a question of “they’re getting it for cheap because of subsidies” - if indeed that’s what you’re saying, it’s a rather uninformed position on the matter.

Also, I don’t care what the new German government “intends” to do. The old one “intended” to turn off the bulk of their Nuclear sources leading to coal use surging at peak (which is happening all the more frequently now with the winter energy mix being thrown off)

You seem to have a stock position for increasing the cost of dirty sources without a care for what compels economies to use them in the first place. That is precisely the point I’m trying to get you to see. They aren’t used one dimensionally because they’re dirty and no one has prioritized clean energy sources yet, but because they are necessary and the alternatives don’t fit the bill for the need of the hour.

Adding a carbon tax in this context is a very arrogant way of saying “Fuck your needs, if you have to pay more, you’ll learn to live with less”

When the point is we want to innovate so we get the economic value that modern technology such as SMRs produce without needing to subject a billion people to continue living with powercuts that stretch hours a day because the “civilized” world thinks the pollution from them wanting a better life is too dangerous for the world.
It's interesting to me how to show your example you chose something from a 3rd party, non Laravel site (just because it has a laravel in the name doesn't), and chose something which inherently doesn't follow PHP or laravel coding standards (snake_case variables, for instance), when you could easily pull something from the main Laravel website?

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/container#introduction

Or, if you wanted something perhaps at least use one of their featured partners for real code?
https://github.com/tighten/jigsaw/blob/main/src/Jigsaw.php

I also would argue that the majority of code I see in other languages is equally or worse than the example you gave.

You can write terribly in any language, Laravel included.
That's impressive. I've heard and the product manuals of most multi meters talk about the risk of shock when opening it up. Does anyone know how likely or rare that is?
There are many other features of PL/I besides those mentioned there, which are not encountered in modern languages.

Because PL/I was designed by IBM for their computers and operating systems, there were no concerns for portability, so the language definition included a large amount of features that are left unspecified in standards for languages like C/C++, because they are available only for certain operating systems or computers, so the standard must be restricted to specify only the minimum features that are available everywhere.

For example the C++ threads are limited only to the features provided by the POSIX pthreads, even if most operating systems have additional features for multi-threading. PL/I on the other hand, already in 1965 had more powerful features than the C++ threads.

One feature of PL/I that is completely absent in all modern languages is what I consider to be the right way for error handling.

Instead of being forced to test the return value of a function to determine what error might have happened, which is a redundant operation, as this was already tested once in the invoked function, and which clutters the code, obscuring the processing of the normal path, the PL/I method was to group the error handlers at the end and pass the labels of the error handlers to the invoked function as alternative return labels.

While this looks visually very similar to a try block with exception handlers, the hardware implementation in PL/I is far more efficient than in modern languages, because there are no conditional branches and no extra code to determine where is the appropriate error handler, just the return, which is done anyway when the invoked function finishes, jumps to different addresses in case of errors, instead of returning to the point of invocation.

PL/I also had exceptions, but those were used for really exceptional conditions, like numeric overflow, illegal memory accesses etc., not for correctable error conditions, like a mistyped user input or a file that cannot be found, which are best handled at the point where a function has been invoked, because only there you have complete information about the intention of the failed operation.
We are very much aware of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, but the knowledge of the Late Bronze Age collapse is much more fragmented, even though the repercussions were very similar.

Who knows how contemporary world might look like if the Bronze Age civilizations just kept on developing.
Yes, I'm subscribed and I don't have cable. They changed the packages recently. HBO is no longer optional. The basic package is now $20 and includes HBO. But they added a new cheaper "mobile" plan which is $10, still includes HBO, but you can only watch on one device at a time.
People have been treating vinyl records as collectibles ever since music became pirate-able in the cassette era.

I know many people who stream music 95% of the time, but have a big collection of their favorite albums on vinyl, some of them unopened, as a way to support the artist / a piece of art / keepsake / speculative long term investment, etc.

Real-world NFT is a fun analogy.
It's called "pro" because they sell a plain pinebook and the pro has comparatively better specs. I don't think it's supposed to mean anything else.
Imagine you use that last screwdriver, and a job needs to get done, and your car won't start so you can't get a new one at a hardware store outside of walking or cycling distance. And now you're unable to repair a vital system.

As I was writing that, I was just thinking of the recent Surfside collapse, what would would have happened if the regions data networks had gone down simultaneously (by chance). A major event two decades ago, cellular networks were overwhelmed and calls could not be made. I dare say we're more reliant on those networks today, as well as the Internet.

Not that I would expect it to happen, but it was just a thought.
That goal won't be achieved if they position it as a premium product.

Vast majority of people will not buy meat alternatives if they are more expensive than meat.

On the other hand, if you can bring cost well below meat, many will choose it for economic reasons alone.
>"You are now conceding there is no straightforward answer to this question — That maybe, just maybe, it's a very hard problem to solve given the criteria and constraints?"

I think there are a number of straightforward answers, but you need to define what you want the Air Forces to do, instead of coming up with post-hoc rationalizations (disguised as requirements) for why you chose one aircraft or another.

Canada isn't the only country to politicize defense acquisitions, it's just one of the clearest. From the endless support for, and subsequent cancellation of the Avro Arrow to the Chinook contract cancellation in the 1990s, Canadian politicians have always played political games with defense acquisitions.
Italy could have been one country that introduced coffee to Europe, but let's not forget that the first Austrian Kaffeehaus opened in the 17th century as well (using coffee stashes obtained after the 2nd Turkish siege in 1680).

What truly killed Bialetti Coffee Pots is the sharp decline of gas stoves in Europe. Electric stoves heat up much slower and turn coffee preparation in pots into a lengthy procedure.
PL/1 was the systems programming language for Multics. Certainly not a bad language to work with.
