"You'd think if this was seriously catastrophic, we'd be going in to debt to finance better energy solutions."

I suppose I could see this as saying "if it really were catastrophic, why aren't we acting like it" as opposed to "it can't be catastrophic if we aren't acting like it".

A subtle difference, but to say it is a "deliberate mischaracterization" is just not true. I read the whole comment chain and I think my initial view was an easy one to arrive at. I would avoid conflating too many things at once.
The reason matrix multiplication is the focus is because linear algebra is generic, and creates a pipeline for whatever that generic computation requiring task happens to be. The obvious case being things like rendering imagery and transforming point clouds - which if you think about it are completely generic operations.
I had the same feeling about https://projecteuler.net/ but PE is very clear about being math focused so that's on me.

I wish Advent of Code puzzles were strictly algorithm focused without relying on specifics of mathematics. Skipping puzzles is demotivating for the completionist in me that lacks time to re-read math books.
We cannot do it all; of course that should not dissuade us to be lazy or not attempt to reach goals we have set for ourselves! As other's have made similar comments, having a good balance of activities leads us to pursue our interests, grow, have hobbies, and be involved in our communities. Everyone varies, but I would recommend to:

Exercise 2-3 times a week
Have social time with friends at least once a week
Make effort to stay close to your family
Give yourself free time to explore/grow/have a hobby
Eat fresh/local/natural food to maintain your health
Donate your time/talent/treasure to others
Always invest in growing/learning

*Also - the mere question of asking how we can do it all implies that this life is the only thing worth living for. I might get down-voted here, but there is a life after this one, through Jesus. Having this understanding gives me peace in so many things. I would recommend exploring Christianity/Catholicism if you haven't yet before.

> Doesn't it need to be framed as the government having the right to apply a medical treatment to me against my will?

This will be tested in litigation in cases like OP, but remember, these vaccine mandates are NOT the government forcing you to accept medical treatment. These mandates have been coercing private employers to require vaccination as a condition of employment. This indirection muddies the water and I can't speculate as to what the courts will ultimately decide on.

> WebGPU is years away to become usable

As a counterpoint, I've been using WebGPU (through wgpu-rs) for the past 1.5 years. It's been a pleasure to use. For instance, here's the CPU-side code for a glow post-process shader using 4 render passes https://github.com/JMS55/sandbox/blob/master/src/glow_post_p....
Yup, I'm doing Rust this year as well. I've worked through rustlings a couple times in the past, but haven't had many excuses to use Rust.

I was proud last year when I got to day 18 with Python, but I'm setting the bar much lower this year. I don't have any experience with C/C++ (just C# and a bit of Go), so thinking more carefully about memory mgmt is new to me. But the functional aspects of Rust are pretty exciting.
VdL needs attention again. It is completely political idiocy to mandate anyone under 20 to take the vaccine. Probably even for people under 60.
From the point of view of evolution and natural selection, yes, it is not even the blink of an eye.
I'd be very cautious about the benchmarks. For example, betrfs was measured performing 1000 4-byte writes into a 1GB file. It isn't clear whether there were any sync operations - there certainly wasn't a sync after each write, although there might have been a sync after the whole set of 1000. That speed up is a simple characteristic of a filesystem that is log-structured (so it is writing those 1000 events as a single sequential disc access) and doesn't store data in 4kB blocks (so it doesn't have to load the other 4092 bytes in the block before writing it). The filesystem I wrote in 1999 for my undergrad project would have done the same thing. One of the benchmarks I wrote for my system showed exactly the same amazing performance benefit. (My benchmark had me generate a tree of a thousand small files in a ridiculously short time - ext2 thrashed all over the disc doing the same thing.) Unfortunately it is unrealistically optimistic because that isn't a write pattern that is going to happen very often. Usually each small write will have an fsync after it. Unless you actually have a thousand writes without a separating sync, then this speedup isn't going to be realised.

I'm struggling to see how the find/grep benchmark could possibly have such a fantastic performance benefit for betrfs, given the fact that all those filesystems are effectively reading a tree or known-location structure. The only conclusion I can reach is that maybe the betrfs test had a hot cache and the others didn't. I could possibly be persuaded if betrfs keeps all its metadata in a small easily-cached part of the disc, but there are disadvantages to that too. I don't think this test is valid.
Are there any laws that don't infringe on someone's freedoms in some manner? Speeding, theft, discrimination, environmental protections, that's all infringing on one party's freedoms for the protection of themselves or others. That's basically what a law does, it restricts some form of freedom in an effort to provide some form of safety or equity.

If the actual number of candidates affected is small, then it would be cheap to make it right for them. You could find a team that can take the engineer (we're not interchangeable parts, but Stripe is a big company), and/or offer monetary compensation for the opportunity cost.

Unfortunately I don't have the book to hand (loaned it out), but I'm pretty sure I remember him saying something along the lines of "you don't need bicep curls, just focus on the five lifts, but since you're going to do them anyway, here's the correct form." I haven't listened to interviews with him.

> I assume this was a typo.

Yes, it was; should have been "underhand", because yeah, they work the biceps more. As a climber, though, it's uncommon to do underclings (basically underhand/supine chins), but pretty common to do overhand pullup type motion, so I tend to focus on that over supine chins. Course, what's really good is hand jam pullups, but those are hard on the tendons and ligaments in the forearms and hands.

One may be a random fluke, but two in a short time indicates that it's an intentional action which definitely should be called out.

For an action like this (rescinding written offers after acceptance) it's not appropriate to say "just two cases", as this should be a "never happen" event not merely a rare occurrence - one case is already too much and should result in a formal public apology and assertion if it's an isolated incident that won't get repeated, but two cases - proving that it is not an isolated exceptional incident - is simply outrageous.
Thank you, I will take a look.

You seem to be speaking with the authority of a WMF insider. If so, can you speak to the concerns Wikipedians have raised about the endowment responsibility?

Currently, there is nothing preventing WMF from drawing down the endowment arbitrarily, effectively making it a checking account, not an endowment.

This is less a complaint about fundraising (we get it, nonprofits need money) but accountability. Its one thing to ask for donations. Its another to use loaded language (ironically in violation of the Wikipedia Manual of Style) that implies the site will go dead in a year unless you contribute money to the dark pool of cash with almost no oversight.

"We should make spending transparent, publish a detailed account of what the money is being spent on and answer any reasonable questions asking for more details. We should limit spending increases to no more than inflation plus some percentage (adjusted for any increases in page views), build up our endowment, and structure the endowment so that the WMF cannot legally dip into the principal when times get bad."

OP makes a really good point in that dev teams also need to own their infrastructure when everything is a microservice. Asking "DevOps" to change an infra component prior to a release just shifts the monolith under the rug while also completely defeating the point of DevOps.

Lots of devs don't know infrastructure that well, though this is changing with the adoption of Kubernetes. Additionally, most devs don't want to go on-call when their app crashes unexpectedly.
^ This. Microservices are introduced because it seems like they'll be able to decouple and scale well, and then they make mistakes that make everything even harder than if it'd stayed a monolith.

Usually they don't plan for how they'll coordinate their work, and that leaves gaps in the design, and puts more risk on the business.

Team A:
↑ Email product:
__|_____________ ↑ Service C <----------
/ How do we \ | Service D <-- \
| work together | --------------------- \ ------\--------------
| on overall | | How do we manage | | | How do we |
| system design? | | stakeholder risk? | | | coordinate changes? |
\_______________/ --------------------- | \--------/----------- /
| | | |
↓ | \ |
Team B: ↓ | |
"Data" team: | /
Service A <---|-------
Service B <--/

On top of that, they don't even make a true microservice. They start directly calling into each others' data rather than interface at an API layer, they make assumptions about how each other works, they don't do load testing or set limits or quotas... and because none of them understand the rest of the system, they don't see that their mutual lack of understanding is the cause of their problems.

Even with multiple teams, if they're forced to work inside a monolith, there's a much better chance they will by accident come to understand the rest of the system.
I analyzed [1] that problem and tried to reproduce data loss with LokiJS, which also has everything in memory and only partially writes to disc.
It is very hard to reproduce a loss. You can call the saveDatabase() when the window 'unload' event fires and also after each write when the database is idle again. This works quite reliable.

The only way to lose data is when I shutdown power directly after a write.

It is also to mention that having everything in memory will not support multi-tab usage.

"The goal of a lot of the people here seems to be hysteria. "

Hadn't you just accused others of mischaracterizing your views? Why are you doing the same to everyone arguing back?

I don't see anyone in this comment chain whose goal is to be hysterical or cause hysteria. We all simply view human caused climate change as obvious and want to solve it. I am quite curious as to how to solve climate change economically, quickly, without giving up too much way of life, liberties, or causing panic.

The public is not being hysterical. Rather the opposite, which is something you already admitted further up: people simply aren't acting at all.

Yes. Nintendo spent decades as an also-ran novelty company before Hiroshi Yamauchi had the foresight to go all-in on video games. Ghibli is obviously a very different company, but with Goro's continued involvement, it seems like it will follow the example of many Japanese firms of essentially being a legal business entity that represents the founding family until - and even after - it happens upon an application that can be sustained by personnel outside the family. In other words, what Ghibli makes doesn't necessarily matter to its continued existence, I think.

Part 2 complicated it, but yes. I just built regexes on the fly for Part 1. I wonder if they mean Day 13. The underlying math is based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem, but it is solvable without knowing it (or, in my case, "knowing" it, once I saw others mention it it came back but my math degree was a long time ago). A solution could be discovered incrementally without knowing the math by trying to optimize the naive version.

I find that hard to believe. 200 years ago was the early 1800s. We have hardly "forgotten everything" about Beethoven, Dickens, the abolitionist movement, the war of 1812, etc. I can almost guarantee in another 200 years, the civil rights movement, the vietnam war, the cold war, and the beatles will all be taught to some degree or another.
That's a very US-centric view. There are many countries in the world where median wages are below $1000/month, and then $10/month is 1% of your income, which is a significant expense.

Increasing the price even further means that people from poor countries won't be able to afford domains (at least not a .io or .com), and this is bad for the open web, because it means that fan forums move to Reddit or Discord, small businesses move to Facebook and WeChat, and so on, until all content is inside these walled gardens instead of the open web.
At Apple the wheels cost extra.
There's no concept of deleting an article because it isn't being "maintained" -- the article existing and being gradually modified over time is its "maintenance".

If it was wrong when it was originally posted, then that should ideally have been worked out and corrected early on. If not, then it was a case of new information still being wrong, which is always a risk with a mass collaboration project like Wikipedia, regardless of how old each particular article is.

If the information is merely outdated, that's immediately discernible by looking at the age of the most recent edit.

In either case, the way a wiki works is to gradually accumulate improvements in accuracy, detail, and and thoroughness over time. Deleting content prevents this from happening.
As far as I can tell, the British government has officially claimed not to have been paid anything from the .io registrar.

There is a competitive advantage to not giving your future competition a heads up by providing them your keys to the foundation of your Kingdom. Sure, they'll copy what you do eventually if what you're doing is working, but why make that easier for them?

If someone is seriously going to take on the current systems and sees value in part or all of PeerTube then it's not a substantial part of the cost, because as you say, it's not the codebase that's important - though it becomes a conversation piece if it means any additions to the codebase reduces an even temporary competitive advantage from potential future competitors.
There is no right to not receive another's germs. If we take your argument to its logical conclusion, then the flu vaccine would be mandated. But it's not. So if you say that Covid is different, then what is your threshold or cut-off for when a medical procedure should be mandated?

> WebGPU is years away

It would be even further away if all the devs working on it were instead spending years on WebGL-Compute. It's not like you snap your fingers and it works. It takes years of cross platform work and testing. That time is better spent moving forward.

As further proof, the only names on the compute spec are Intel and one Google name. Compare to the WebGPU spec which clearly has buy in from all the browsers.

So if Chrome had shipped it you'd have the gallery of comments bitching about Chrome going too fast, implementing too many things no other browser plans to implement.
