It seems there's a huge gap between what machine code compilers can generate and hand written optimized assembler. There's a lot of room left for compilers to be improved.
i met a guy semi-recently thru IH that knew a lot, somehow, about medical laboratory software.

so, he wrote some, sold some, etc.

said he plans to, as his next phase, start heading back to various industry conferences and just start shooting the shit with people and make contacts and talk shop and presumably find some contract work that might end up becoming a product (again) -- something like that.

which actually all sounded pretty reasonable.

but it didn't really resonate with me mainly b/c i don't specialize in anything - i don't know any vertical really well, so i feel like i just can't empathize all that well with that situation.

but i guess i can empathize well enough to know that it sounds reasonable to me.

i guess you'd probably have to be open to spending $1,500 or so and heading to AWS re:invent or whatever other specific trade shows there are and at least giving it a go.

i also feel like there are other 'weird' middlemen/people of sorts who hang around in these business 'spaces' - not the physical space, but the connection/business-making space.

i guess you could always go to a trade show and say, "Hey, i'm bob, i do b2b consulting for 'x'. Do you know anyone who does that type of thing besides me? Yeah, i do x, y, z, etc. I'm not sure what all I do yet. But i'd like to give it a go, whatever it is. Are people using your tool? yeah? oh, that make sense. and you have a field consulting team or you use VARs?"
In many ways Geocities was peak internet. I don't see a lot of stuff nowadays that is an improvement over it - so much so that I cannot think of a single example.
It's easy to underestimate how difficult it is to make a core building block do one thing and do it really good. I mean, Twitter is another frequently cited example; most people with basic software development knowledge could build a Twitter clone in an afternoon, but the challenge is to make it globally and infinitely scalable.
Without analyzing more closely which jurisdictions were “masked” we can’t make a thorough conclusion on mask mandates. Masks have been shown to have some effectiveness, but not necessarily its mandates, as the latter does not imply appropriate usage.
Could you elaborate on some of the safety reasons for exceeding the speed limit, to help me understand?

We use average speed cameras in the UK to enforce temporarily reduced speed limits during road repairs on the motorways. It seems to work quite well, it certainly feels like most people adhere to the reduced limits.

Personally, I am aware that if I speed (for whatever internal justification I convince myself of), I just need to reduce my average speed by the time I pass the next camera (they're big and yellow and deliberately conspicuous so drivers know where they are).
It's not deflationary, it's inflating at a predetermined rate, gradually getting closer to the 21M cap.

I Set Up Remote Access for a Client from China
I am working as a system administrator in a consulting company. Recently I had to set up remote access for a customer from China, and it turned out to be more difficult than connecting to a European user. Sharing with you what programs I tried and what solution I found.
I feel the same way, I'm not religious too and still feel that those places are very special. I think it helps me empathise with religious people. When I'm in a church, I can understand a little bit better what people mean when they say they are religious, have faith, believe in God.
“Normal” meaning I think the US format, the format that confuses a lot of people elsewhere. YYYY-MM—DD is the safest, but in the UK at least we would interpret xx-xx as DD-MM

So maybe hide them behind "show more results" or something. That's still better than removing them outright. But of course, copyright holders wouldn't be happy with that.
But Google moderates search results by definition. As in, it's not like there's an objective external measure of what the results for a given search term should look like - it's all Google that determines what to show you in what order.

Top Cryptocurrency Gaming Tokens/Coins to Watch-Stephen Ajulu
For those who didn't read the article and wondering why you would use svg fonts which are supported only in safari vs the usual technique of woff which is supported everywhere,its because svg allows bypassing csp restrictions if its embedded in same document.

I'm personally kind of surprised that you can have font-src: 'none' in csp, but still allow specifying an svg font as #foo to load from same document without violating csp. I kind of thought you'd need 'self' or something. data: is already banned by this type of policy.
Hey now, no need to be racist/xenophobic about it.

The Chinese government is a terrible regime that commits many atrocities. But China has more than a billion people, most of whom do nothing morally wrong beside being complicit to the regime's crimes by inaction. And as we've seen time and again, that's just what regular people do and will do, as long as their lives aren't getting worse ( e.g. Nazi Germany). Most people don't want to risk their lives for noble causes.

Blacklisting any Chinese national and company will only sharpen an us vs them divide, which helps the CCP because they paint any criticism of them as criticism of China. Furthermore, most businesses owners on this boards are probably in the US, who has a less than stellar human rights record and supports many regimes with even worse ones. Why pick out China specifically and not Israel or Saudi Arabia? They're all different degrees of terrible. Yes, action against one is still better than no action against any one, but i wonder, why China and not the Saudis? Or Israel, the boycot movement against which is specifically disenfranchised in the US? If the only reason is that they're getting too rich and starting to give the US as a global power a run for their money, your priorities are weird. Anything else, you do you and boycott the one(s) you want, but don't forget the rest.

In any case, no need for outright racial hatred of a whole nation.
It is legal, yet it is still tax evasion, even if one uses euphemisms like "tax optimization" and so on.
I don't think the contention is that they will give up on these services, or publicly acknowledge that this is happening. A lot of AWS customers will be very happy with the native vendor services, it's just that the premium and corporate end of the market will go with more sophisticated ISV services. Also this is a forward looking prediction, it's happening in certain segments now, and will become prevalent in other segments over time. That's the claim anyway.

Take Elasticsearch for example, AWS is offering a clone service, but if you want the best Elasticsearch experience on the latest code base maybe you're better off using Elastic's own Elastic Cloud service that's also within AWS. If things play out as Erik predicts (and Elastic doesn't screw up) they should do just fine. We'll see if that's how it plays out.
>as long as possible, and as high as possible.

Caveat about 'long as possible' (for general shortwave listening): Once the antenna is over a half wavelength long at the operating frequency (10MHz, one wavelength is ~~ 100 feet, 30 meters), it becomes increasingly more directional along its axis. (Longer still, even more directional.) This may dampen the signal amplitude for signals coming in 'off the side' (compared to a dipole at least).
> This gives me the idea to build a search engine that only contains content from domains that have been vouched for.

Just giving us personal blocklists would help a lot.

Then if search engines realize most people block certain websites they could also let it affect ranking.

> Nix does not have a formal specification: Nix is what its C/C++ implementation says.

Yep, and this causes a whole lot of issues. In tandem with evaluator development we are writing an initial language specification which will represent the language as it is used in nixpkgs. Our hope is that we can, in collaboration with the Nix developers, eventually find a fixed point between the two implementations here.

> It still comes packaged with Nix 2.3.16 instead of Nix 2.4 because of incompatibility

Yep, we're very aware - in fact we had some debate on IRC yesterday about whether or not to touch on this in the blog post, but felt that for the majority of people it's a bit too deep into "current Nix politics" (for lack of a better term).

This is why we have explicitly committed to nixpkgs support - many of the experimental features in Nix (some of which are causes for the new incompatibilities) are not actually used in nixpkgs, and they might have a long road to go before getting there. We believe that this gives us enough time to get to a synchronisation point.

> However, it's possible that the pain around slow evaluation runs so deep that other companies might adopt this too. I don't know enough here.

We'll see, on the corporate side of TVL (https://tvl.su) we've had some discussions with a variety of Nix-using companies and there are strong signals that some of our plans would be a big reason for them to switch (or possibly even just partially switch). We want to not worry about this too much this early, to be honest.

> The rewrite needs to offer more reason to shift

Yes, there are more things that will become relevant but felt like they were outside of the scope of this initial announcement. For example:

* Implementation will be in memory-safe languages (evaluator in Rust; we will see about things like the sandbox & builder - Go might fit that reasonably well). This is a big point for companies that are worried about running current Nix (which is fairly easy to segfault) on production machines as root.

* We do intend to have more language-related tooling (including various kinds of static analysis, like dead-code analysis or maybe even going as far as an Erlang-style success typing approach)

* Streaming evaluation: We want to yield derivations while evaluation is still ongoing, essentially turning a whole build process into a sort of graph reduction. This has a huge impact on our ability to implement better Nix-native CI, which is very relevant for TVL's ambitions around better monorepo tooling.

It is also worth noting that a bunch of TVL members are nixpkgs committers, and as we proceed we would like to clean up bits of nixpkgs that use features which only exist "by accident". (An example of such a feature, which fortunately is not used in nixpkgs now, is __findFile: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/1325).

I appreciate that it's kinda difficult to serialise all of our thinking here in a handful of comments and a blog post, so we might not get the full point across. That's okay for now. If you're interested in following along more closely and discussing some bits of this, you're welcome to join our IRC channel :)
> How is memory safety not a compelling argument when we're literally in a thread about memory unsafety leading to security exploits?

The ratio of { memory-safety-bugs-in-code : bugs-in-code } is too small in many cases to warrant redoing the entire project.

My last C (and C++) role: over the course of 3 years, a large C++ project had over 1000 bug reports closed, of which one turned out to be a memory safety issue that would have been prevented in Rust. My previous C position had a similar rate.

It's hard to convince the company to throw a 5-person team at a rewrite project for 3 years just to avoid the bug that they got in the previous 3 years, in the process incurring new bugs.

If you're the owner of a company, you'd dismiss anyone who tells you that you need to spend a few million redoing work already completed, with additional risk that the redone work will have new errors that were already fixed in the existing work.

>In fact, he demonstrated better gun safety

Ah! so that is what responsible gun owner's gun safety looks like - 2 dead 1 wounded just because that stupid POS wanted to get off playing with a gun feeling all powerful. He didn't even bother to check on his victims and render first help (his skills he was so boasting about to journalists just 15 minutes before he killed his first victim), nor attempted to call for help for them. Kill-and-run. That is gun safety? Nope. That is total disregard for and reckless endangerment of the people lives which resulted in those cold blooded murders.

>Hollywood actor/producer 3 times his age

the person who was responsible for those guns on the set and handed the guns to the actor declaring them "Cool" (ie. not having real bullets) is 24 years old former model to whom it was only second time she worked as an armorer. From what i read it looks to me that she has about the same as Rittenhouse lack of understanding what guns aren't toys.

>b) how can you claim the crowd was unarmed?

i just watch those Kenosha videos and see that only those militia gun fetishists are having guns (and at one point police tells them something like "Tell your men to stop pointing guns at the people")

It's engrained in the money system (money as debt) but I guess the cause stems deeper from human nature.

As nomads, keeping things was near impossible, so aquiring was a permanent necessity. (And pollution no issue btw)

That's what we were for 300k years, and isn't easily changed with a few compliance rules.

What we need is balancing rules, that take the anthropologic reality into account. Not personal wealth maximisation.

> Does Copilot use other files open in the editor?

While I am not 100% sure of the sources, my use of Copilot makes me pretty sure it uses other open files in the editor, other files in the current project folder (whether or not open in the editor), and to suspect it may use the past history of the current file (at least in the same edit session).
This makes me think of my visit to castles in Japan. Most of them were destroyed by natural disasters or fire at some point and had to be rebuilt. Some castles were rebuilt in their original style while some were modernized.

When I visited the ones rebuilt in the original style I felt like I entered a time machine and the history and culture I had learned about felt very real and near, and I felt motivated to learn more.

You look at Osaka castle from the outside and it’s majestic. But once you enter it’s just a f*king museum. You completely forget you’re in a castle. It still pisses me off how one can not only neglect but destroy their heritage like that.
when "human error" happens at a much higher rate than the alternatives, it's fair to blame it.

I don't think anyone actually thinks in these absolutist terms. I mean, it's an oft-cited whataboutism, but what about CP? Terrorist propaganda? Insert your own list of abhorrent content here.

I mean, zero moderation is some kind of internet libertarian ideal, but there's plenty of examples out there what that looks like - 4chan, 'old' reddit, parler & co (which ironically censor a lot of stuff), all of the dark web, etc.

You state "policing should be done on the actual hosts of the content", but what if the host says "lol no"? That's what's happening here; BREIN demanded (and has done so for at least the past 10 years, probably longer) that since the hosts are untouchable and not legally required to comply (these things get complicated once you go abroad), they went for the ISP's and search engines instead.

If something is deemed illegal, and the source is untouchable, you have to go for whatever passes it on. I mean hard drugs are illegal, they are shipped across the world, and only when they arrive at a port is there something that can be done to stop it.

I disagree.

The profit margin/markup cloud providers make increases the higher you climb the abstraction layer. 1GB of RAM is 10X more expensive in Lambda than in EC2, but costs AWS the same to provide.

Second - services offered are a key selling point and driver of competition between clouds. they all want more features.

Third - considering point 1 & 2, clouds prefer to offer their own versions of things. i.e AWS and the Elasticsearch fork.

Suburbia is a classic example of the harm done by central economic planning.

There is a confluence of at least two government failures behind the emergence of modern suburbs:

* government officials, pushed by NIMBY SFH owners and anti-profit left wing groups, restricting zoning/housing-development in major economic nexuses where the most job opportunities exist, leading to pressure to develop the adjacent suburbs as they are the next best location for housing.

* taxpayer funded left-wing groups pushing for social housing and social services in city cores, leading to neighbourhoods with high concentrations of low-income residents that become breeding grounds for crime, and cause urban decay that leads to the flight of middle class taxpayers to safer suburbs.
