Free Pascal too. An example would be Ultibo[0] which, despite the completely awful site (in terms of learning what it is - it feels like a developer's cynical overjaded idea of how a modern site that tries to market something is supposed to look like), is an OS for Rasberry Pi written in Free Pascal. It is meant to be used as a base for purpose-built projects instead of a general purpose OS, but it does show that it is possible to make one using the language (it already supports pretty much all "standard" features like networking, threads, 2d/3d graphics, a few filesystems, etc).

Of course it doesn't make much sense to use it in the Linux kernel but it is a low level (or low level capable) programming language that can be used for systems programming.

You're responding to something he they aren't claiming
And what does that mean?
Absolutely. I don't get a lot out of small talk. (or "people talk") Some people do and that is certainly easier to get that from co workers. I like deep talk. Or talking about ideas. Sometimes you can get that from coworkers but typically that type of stuff isnt directly tied to work so its cut off after a 45 minute lunch or is relegated to office happy hours which is fine but again I don't find booze helps with actually feeling connected. It just tricks one into thinking they feel connected for a time. But that another topic entirely.
I'd be curious to learn more about the motor selection for the complete tear down and rebuild. One of the biggest buys of the Solo (in the article) design is the 'high bandwidth' current/torque control, and the price/performance seemed (at the time) to be pretty great.
That's YOU. Not everybody (I would say the majority) can do it, there will always be some doubt as the OP said.
Well, thanks for ignoring my entire point. I hope you get your hands on $5m one day and try the very easy "buy and hold" strategy and see for yourself

Is there any other vaccine on the planet has recommended a recurring booster on a six month schedule?

Because I haven't heard of one.

Sure sounds fishy to me.
he may think he knows Rust until he gets his first whiff of real Rust line noise. to be certain, line noise in C is probably something he sees every day as well, but he also has decades of experience to help him filter it

it seems inevitable that the same counterarguments he used to decline C++ will eventually be trotted out again.

it is disappointing to see kernel devs be taken in by the Rust Hype
Easily the lowest signal to noise ratio topic on this site. If I was the mod, I'd ban the topic.
Report to POTUS on foreign adversaries, overthrow democratically-elected leaders, steal information, and drone American teenagers and innocent families. They're not a law-enforcement organization.

Edit: They're an international paramilitary insurgent branch of the Executive Branch.
I agree with you about the focus on cases instead of hospitalizations. However, even in places with high levels of vaccination, so far cases does translate into stressing hospitals to the edge, followed by lockdown and other restrictions. See Alberta, Canada in September, or Austria two weeks ago and Germany now.

This doesn't end until nearly everyone is vaccinated, recovered, or dead. To paraphrase the German health minister.
Yeah I don't get it. At which point did Big Pharma become the good guys, with zero ulterior motives and zero regards for profit? Always having the public's best interest in mind. This is a weird timeline.
Rust really isn't that hard to read. The syntax is pretty close to C, and there are very few invisible rules.

You need to learn language concepts like '?', derives, traits, dyn traits, etc, but they're all fairly straightforward.

Rust's big barrier to entry is learning to write code that passes the borrow checker, but that's not a concern when doing code reviews.

Indeed it's both not ethical not legal in most parts of the world.

My educated guess it that only reason it happens anywhere at all - is within "smaller" websites/companies which:

a) don't know better because they are mostly just tech people that didn't heave to deal with big company bureaucracy, they have no legal/ethics team - or (hopefully not big chunk) they do know it's not legal, but count on ...

b) they are small enough that no one bothers to deal with until amount of money company is making suddenly makes it go over whatever amount makes it worth the effort
The regulator is only tasked with approving the manufacturer's end results, I don't think they audit the production facilities or the design process. If the production process were fully transparent and the manufacturer could prove it didn't change anything except for "this one input tweak here", the approval process could likely be further streamlined -- but I don't think the authority of the regulator stretches that far, and manufacturers will likely claim trade secrets on their internal processes.

Besides, I don't expect the anti-vax crowd to be very forgiving about mistakes or unforeseen consequences of an updated vaccine. I'm perfectly happy with the regulator having very strict controls for what gets approved for rapid rollout to the entire population.
Checking out your replies that got flagged and killed. Mob style censorship is alive and well here.
Yes. Next pointless strawman, please.
I do know what newspeak means because I was directly subjected to it as a kid until late 1989 (am from Romania). In this instance the powers that be just outsourced their censorship to private entities for plausible deniability (I think that’s the correct term). Imo that makes it worse because while one can stage a revolution against a government that is seen as despotic the same cannot be done against private entities in a society like ours.
The past 5 years has taught us that on twitter it's ok to imply (and in many cases outright state) that the sitting president of the US is a literally Russian plant) without a fear of a ban.

In a normal world this would mean you could also imply that Epstein is an intelligence asset without fear of a ban.

But this is twitter world so who knows?
strangely I gave up on consumer reports because of all the ads.

Not "advertising" in the old sense of the word, but the data gathering like google/doubleclick, etc

The devil's in the details but if the price is right then this isn't fundamentally worse than any CPU with factory disabled cores. The difference being that you could now pay to unlock the feature instead of buying a whole new CPU.

On the other hand if I have no guarantee the license is valid forever and I own it, or that I can use it in any conditions not just with internet connectivity, or it's tied to the rest of the machine, or only until I want to sell my hardware, then it does become fundamentally worse.

This might be a new way to enable more flexibility for cloud providers so they can customize each offering without having different sets of hardware, just a license management component. I also see this as something OEMs may be interested in, tiering otherwise identical products could be just a FW switch away, greatly simplifying logistics and manufacturing. OEMs could customize the CPUs they receive while Intel would shrink the number of SKUs. Being Intel though means none of the savings will ever reach the consumer.

You could create like a 3rd party like dislike service... That sends two requests one to YT and one to your 3p service that stores the count in a redis key value store with the id of the video and the count.
Funny! :)

However, in reality Linus wont necessarily review the patch line by line. Mostly the reviews will happen on mailing lists. Then if Linus' lieutenants that handle the specific subsystem like what they see, they will probably give a general thumbs up for the change. Finally Linus will take an executive call. He may offer some technical suggestions (as he is technical) and send it back or accept the patch or conditionally accept the patch.

The point is that the finer details will have already been dealt with by the time it lands on Linus' desktop.

But given that this is going to affect a lot of things for years to come he is probably going to spend a lot more time on it than other features.

Also I think Linux may be interested in having Rust in the kernel. See here https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/4/14/1099 . He says "on the whole I don't hate it".

It's clear to see that there is a lot of momentum behind Rust. Allowing Rust in the Linux kernel will help bring a lot more talent and energy into the kernel community (other than the inherent merits of Rust which I think are easy to see).
It's funny because a 0-0 can be an incredibly entertaining tussle whilst a goal-fest can be a shambolic thing to watch.
I hate to say this but I've been an Apple user my entire life and have always had a work and a home Macbook (amongst other machines) and also manage an entire team of Macbook users and we've never had the problem you're describing even once so it seems like either you have really bad luck and have gotten these repeated failures by luck or Apple was right and you're not taking care of these properly.

I'm talking over 200 Macbooks over the course of the last 14 years and not a single one has done what you're saying Magsafe, USB-C, or otherwise.

Huh. Supply side economics is exactly giving more people money to spend”. You even admit that.

Real wages grew and unemployment was at record lows during the 80’s. Even for the lower class. Please stop getting your information from social media.

C++ is the industry standard, C is a retrocomputing language. Everyone is using C++, except for legacy codebases and some recalcitrant FOSS maintainers. Of course Linux is maintained by Linux maintainers, I am just pointing out they are against industry consensus.

Also unlikely. Vultures go for easy pickings.
Interesting. So far the Omicron variant has shown itself to be mild with minimal hospitalizations and 0 reported deaths worldwide.

Is there even a need to vaccinate at all? It would seem this is the variant we would want to spread worldwide and let it take over the more dangerous strains.
I presume that was meant to be facetious? But a clock is not the thing you would prevent access to. The thing you would prevent access to is whatever it is you want to try to time using that clock.
Most Canadians had a mix of either AZ and mRNA or the two mRNAs mixed. There's some studies you can search for, IIRC, the mRNA ones are basically interchangeable, and the AZ/mRNA mix gave better results.
Regulation is a different matter. Two companies can work under a non-legal contract for years - until there's a dispute, then the courts get involved and those regulations are enforced.

The government is not involved at the time of contract formation, there's not some government representative reviewing the contract. Nor do they enforce contracts (and related regulations) until there's a dispute.
Compute is a verb. I will die on this hill.

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or attempting a joke here?

The EU, where I live, absolutely does have legal protections for personal privacy and personal information collection, hence GDPR and all the cookie popups[0].

And even if the law was silent, that wouldn’t itself be evidence of a lack of need, as people died from lack of workplace health and safety regulations well before there were laws about that.

And while IP assignments are an interesting suggestion to raise, I counter that I have also seen a forum of users who didn’t read the T&C and suddenly realised $corporation had the eternal right to reproduce whatever they wrote on that forum (kinda necessary but clearly non-obvious to most normal people), which demonstrates that people definitely feel strongly attached to even really dumb and low-value works if they are those works are their own.

[0] that they adhere to the relevant law about as well as all the YouTube videos saying “no copyright intended” adhere to IP laws is an enforcement problem, not a lack of rights
> I mean where do you think defense contractor profits come from?

So what? What’s the argument here? Because we have programs that take X amount of dollars, burn a portion of it and give the rest to people in group Y, we should have other programs doing the same for the people in group Z1,Z2,…?

Call me crazy, but IMO the solution is not having programs that burn our collective wealth.

I guess this will hit all electric vehicles at first. Due to the higher weight you will have more energetic collisions compared to fuel powered cars. Of course there are still differences by model.
It's because there are two main types of studies getting published: studies based on the actual virus or real world observations, and studies based on a pseudo-virus or simplified modeling.

This study is the latter- it only tests efficacy against the spike itself, and nothing else.

The study that suggested natural immunity plus the vaccine is the best protection was similarly based only on the spike protein.

So any immune response based on any part other than the spike gets neglected, and I suspect that's at least somewhat intentional.
Interesting. I was looking into the nicotine/smoking and Covid link the other day and the initial results from France have been replicated in many other countries.

While some studied have tried to "debunk" it, with the intent (I presume) to not promote smoking.

Whatever one thinks about F35 capabilities, it's a massive successful export program that's ensnared / locked in dependencies all over the world. Of course that's dramatically undermined the second a F-35 gets shot down with Russian/PRC missile tech. Which will then be proliferated everywhere. Who knows the entire platform could have been "cracked" already and majority of operators (read western world) are sitting on duds. There's something to be said about diversity, especially in defense.

Everyone knows Twitter is a private company, that is besides the point.

Consider this: Whoever governs society is the government. Reality does not have clear lines like a textbook about economics and politics might have. When does a company begin to govern society? In my opinion, companies like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Amazon, etc. are large enough to govern society. And as such they can be considered in a different light than your average corner store down the street.

If you disagree still. Would you consider the historial East India Trading Company a private enterprise, or something inbetween a political organisation and a private enterprise?
Just so long as nobody screen shots the NFT.
If you filter out reviews without picture and only 2-4 star reviews you can often find legitimate reviews on more popular items. The total star rating is of course totally useless but individual reviews still offer value.
Yeah I do this. Most of what I build, nobody knows about it nor is it release into the wild.

Latest example: at my current workplace we have some crappy custom compilers for our platform.... I've rebuilt them in a way that I like (and using C# instead of Java), that enables me to use it in a small visual studio code plugin that enables me with real time error messages as I code against our platform, so basically constantly compiling in the background as the file changes. It's great. Can it improve the lives of the 50 or so other devs working on the same platform? For sure (it saves a ton of time and frustration). Will I tell them about it or release it onto our private git repo's and make it part of our platform/build chains? Nope.

I can give you 20 good reason why I won't do it but really don't want to get into it. If they want it, they ask for it & while they are at it, they can pay me a cool sum of money for it. Until then, it is my own private competitive advantage that allows me to work 2 hours per day instead of 8. Not embellishing.

One solution is to have an offline virtual machine that is configured not to speak to the public Internet, and do your coding in that. If you need to lookup something online, the host machine can do that and it can be copy and pasted from the host to the offline VM (Virtualbox allows you to do this).
> You are not locking $130K, you are locking 32ETH.

OK I mean, my point is in whatever fiat you want to pick, 32 ETH is a lot.

> ETH is not to be priced like a stock. ETH is to be priced like a non-renewable commodity like oil.

I don't know if ETH is like oil; when we run out of oil we legit run out, like it's gone. We can run out of blocks on Ethereum, but ETH sticks around "forever".

As a result, I think the stock comparison is actually more accurate. Shares are divisible, their value relative to fiat fluctuates, they're transferable, etc. Or I mean, we could also view it as a currency. I just don't think it's a commodity at all, especially because it doesn't have physical utility. Every other commodity (like oil as you point out, or orange juice or cotton or copper) has physical utility. ETH doesn't.

> If the network is not efficient, people will move away from it, demand for ETH goes down and so does its price.

Well idk, the network is pretty inefficient right now. Buterin just posted "Endgame" where the main theme is basically "we'll get the transaction rate up". Relative to centralized transaction rates, Ethereum is very slow.

And there are networks with faster transactions rates! And yet Ethereum remains popular. I think a lot of crypto advocates get caught up in the actual attributes of a network but then can't explain why clearly inferior networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum are super popular. Well, it's because they're worth a lot of fiat--very few people care about the nitty gritty of blockchains, they just want to get rich. So I don't think "people will move away from it" as long as the fiat price is high.

And this just kind of torpedoes crypto optimism right? We have these networks that clearly solve a lot of problems that Bitcoin and Ethereum have, but it turns out the path to success and popularity is to make your coin as casino-like as possible. I think that's a compelling reason to be pessimistic, not optimistic.

> People staking ETH are betting that the network utility will grow and the demand for ETH will grow as well.

Yeah I mean, "bet" is the apt word here.

>> I think rich people can stake multiple times

> If you think it is a bad allocation of the capital, why would you think that people with lots of it would put so much into stake?

I think the reasons other people would are legion:

- I'm rich and I'm bored/interested

- I understand the technology and I think we'll overcome the risks and downsides

- As a libertarian I super hate liberal democracy and any kind of gatekeeping, and I'm willing to take some pretty drastic, risky actions to subvert its financial system

- I believe a lot of people are disillusioned by capitalist economies and that will drive adoption of alternative economies and currencies

FWIW I am in the 4th camp. I just think subverting financial systems set up by democracies is deeply immoral so I can't bring myself to profit off of it. Also I don't have 32 ETH to throw around haha.
Again...is that not the whole point of twitter?

Their _entire_ business model is predicated on their algorithm manipulating engagement. There's very little "organic" engagement on social media any more.
First, it's clearly an analogy. It doesn't have to be exactly the same as the book. Second, both involve some more powerful party trying to force-feed an interpretation using deliberately unclear language.

It's close enough.
The distinction you're making isn't the drug, it's the purpose, and you left one out: people also take drugs for medical reasons, with or without a prescription (aspirin is a drug).

For example, weed can be used for all five of those purposes. But what's the value you see in separating them?

I don't see the link with your example. How would people profit of finding the number of dislikes on YouTube?

Also, sharing this would increase the number of users of the exploit, and its general publicity, making it more likely to be fixed. Nothing to do with having each other's back.

And then, considering that you are disclosing a security leak, the "having each other's back" thing to do here is disclosing that to google, not exploiting it yourself
