Yes, there are no 'garbage collectors' in space.

In fact, in my experience, there's not even any dynamic memory allocation!

You allocate your memory on boot and work from it.

Rust has some nice pointer advantages, but it's not specifically suited to those kinds of system, and would have some big cultural baggage to overcome.

Rust has performance and perfect non-null safety in mind, not necessarily perfect logical safety.

Space systems would be 'totally ok' with extra overhead that checked parameters, pointers, memory etc. before certain operations.

That said, I can see Rust happening in space some day.
The virus has no idea what's beneficial to it. A virus that infects you for two weeks and which can pass itself on to two other people in that time is going to infect fewer people than a virus that kills you after two weeks but can pass itself on to four other people in that time. Once enough people start dying then the numbers start changing (if everyone around you is already dead, you're not going to infect anyone else), but the virus doesn't know that.

So no, COVID isn't out to kill us senseless. But nor is it out to maximise the length of time it can persist in the population. It's RNA. It's not out to do anything. It has no ability to learn. It has no awareness of the fact that it's in a host, let alone any preferences about what happens to that host. Don't anthropomorphise it.
It is part of the user interface of the server as it is.
This reminds me of the Wallfacers in the Three Body Problem, the (totally contrived) leaders of humanity that for plot reasons must plan to save humanity from the aliens without ever elucidating what the plan is so the aliens can’t figure it out.
Don't believe the hype. That area of SF is highly desirable (near Mount Davidson), prices are about $1,200-1,500/sq ft, which would make the selling price pretty much what you'd expect.

Those realtors just did what they all do in SF - underprice a listing by 30%, then when it selling at what they thought it would, hype up their "realtor expertise". These two got free publicity out of it.

Religion is primarily about shared belief, shared rituals, and shared culture. Traditionally, it was difficult to draw a hard line between religion and the rest of the society. Someone who rejected the prevailing religion also rejected the society, which is why people found it difficult to tolerate.

The emphasis on personal aspects of religion in the recent centuries is mostly due to Protestantism, which values personal faith above all else.
Great episode. I rewatched it recently and it was just a bit too real.
I wonder if this was a misguided attempt at A/B testing.
Look, no need to be pedantic about this : the only thing that counts here is whether it's still in the initial exponential phase by the time we hit maximum hospital capacity. It seems likely.

I dislike this comparison because we want many of SpaceX's rockets, but we don't really want many Webbs. The rapid iteration argument isn't amazing.

While reading the article, I closed my eyes an imagined an apple in 3d, with accurate colors to that of the image in the post. Then I remembered the image was pretty flat and almost 2D, and so I corrected my visualization to try to match the apple. I also kept the surrounding space very limited, since the apple is framed so closely in the image.

I double-checked my color accuracy after opening my eyes, and felt like I was pretty on-point.

I'm not sure I ever realized that people couldn't imagine images before. I just assumed some people weren't very good at it, or weren't good at remembering details, or something along those lines.

I want to ask someone with aphantasia what happens when they imagine the consequences of something? For me, I frequently imagine the consequences of a car crash--like if I narrowly avoid a crash, I might imagine slightly different circumstances. I can imagine the impact, what the cars look like after. I can imagine police cars showing up and where they would park, and what vehicle they'd arrive in.

I think everyone can think through the consequences of their actions, but do you have no visual representation of them at all?

The more I think about it, the more I realize that basically all of my thoughts have a visual representation while I think about them. Even while coding (ex web dev)--not a very visual task--I get fuzzy visual representations of code & maybe data flow and program structure and things like that.

> The good thing about formal religion like Christianity, is that it incorporates thousands of years of debates by some of the best minds about these issues.

And what has humanity gained from all their efforts? Having been raised in a formal religion I'd say nothing was gained and thousands of human years wasted. Years that could have explored more fruitful endeavors or even just lived with less persecution and suffering.
I do not think this is what most people believe the definition of religion or God is.

It is extremely niche because the relevant measure isn't revenue, it is "hours of music listened to". And the amount of hours spent listening to vinyl as a proportion of all music listened to is vanishingly small, smaller than it has ever been. A hipster resurgence as a novelty collectors item doesn't change that.
Replying to myself for some sort of nuance: at the same time, just as 'yet another application' it doesn't look bad and it's not unusable... it's just not a replacement for a terminal emulator.
You don't get it.

Just because it's not your property doesn't mean the .gov can plop a camera there without a warrant.

They can't stick a camera on a pole in an empty lot directly across from your house for the purposes of surveilling your house without a warrant. Of course they can try and weasel around that but that's for the court to determine.
Can you cite the legal authority that exempts game wardens from the restrictions imposed on the executive by the constitution? For example, the fourth amendment protects US citizens from warrentless searches. Does this not apply to searches of your property by game wardens?

I understand that English common law may have this notion of “lease holding” (if you buy property in the UK you’re technically renting it for 999 years from the queen). However, America is not England and in this country you actually own your property (and in many states can defend it with lethal force). So where is this authority coming from?

Eh, I agree the GOP is reactionary rather than conservative, but I think this is an equal charitable take, especially this statement -

> It's the checks and balances that keep our (ostensible) democracy functioning.

I'm a fan of TR and Eisenhower to a lesser extent, so this isn't exactly a criticism. The US Constitution was definitely founded under the model you describe, but those things aren't necessarily indivisible from each other. The progressive conservatism you defined is a commitment to a hierarchical model of liberalism. Many of the achievements of both Roosevelts and Eisenhower were in the name of warding off Socialist and Communist movements in the early and mid 20th century. They were progressive in giving more rights and services to the common person (well, some of them, some of the time) and conservative in maintaining the ability of the wealthy to continue on with their necks and bank balances intact.

Although some of the critiques of conservative liberalism (as opposed to the historical, royalist conservatism) can be waved off as "the Republicans aren't actually conservative any more", there is a still a valid critique to be made if you believe that 250 years is more than enough time to embrace a more egalitarian model.

Knowing the your employees are making mistakes is not the same as knowingly making a false statement. And making statements that are found to be untrue is also not the same as making a false statement.

For it to be a crime, a single person must willingly make a statement that they know is false. Making a statement and being incorrect about it is not criminal. Knowing that other people have made incorrect statements is not criminal.

That being said, making mistakes that harms other people is a civil tort. And that’s why these cases are going to a judge now as mentioned in the article. It also worth noting that the article is about allegedly untrue reports of car theft. Whether or not those claims are accurate still remains to be tested in court.
There was an interesting situation in New York. After the 2020 census, they lost a seat in Congress because their population size shrunk proportional to the rest of the country's. If New York had just avoided 2 or 3 of the larger nursing home COVID outbreaks, they'd have kept the seat.

> The Leges Henrici Primi, written c. 1115, treated pre-quickening abortion as a misdemeanor, and post-quickening abortion as carrying a lesser penalty than homicide. "Quickening", a term often used interchangeably with "ensoulment" or "animation", was associated with the first movement of the fetus in utero. This movement is generally felt by women sometime in the third to fifth month of pregnancy.

Not parent, but shifted pointers is something that's sorely missed when you need it. There's a few other bugs/annoyances, none are deal breakers, but they do build up. The interface is also quite clunky for big projects.
Agree on the sativa. Back when you had to use a code name if you mentioned it on the phone, I and my friends at Tymshare, Apple, General Magic, Grid, Tandem, etc. called it "programmer's fuel".

Many here are familiar with the term "fire an event". I coined that in the late 1980s when I was at Cooper Software working on a program that would become Visual Basic. (Our team did the "Visual" part, and Microsoft added the "Basic".)

Our system was event-driven just like pretty much any GUI app or system. Under the hood, of course, we used the Win16 SendMessage, PostMessage, GetMessage, and PeekMessage calls.

But we had a habit of using creative names. In fact Alan Cooper once said that "one of my most important programming tools is a thesaurus."

We had already decided to call them "events" instead of "messages" for whatever reason, and now I needed a way to talk about sending them.

At my previous job we had "SQL triggers". I started thinking along that line but wasn't getting anywhere.

So I turned to a trick I often used when I felt stuck: I started firing rubber bands against my computer screen. I kept a stack of them on my desk for just that purpose.

(This was an IBM Monochrome Display with a sturdy glass front. Do not try this on your modern LCD/OLED displays.)

I still wasn't getting anywhere, so I fired up a doobie. I flicked the lighter a few extra times and looked at the flame.

And then it all fell into place: Fire a rubber band. Fire up a doobie. Fire an event!
Well, then enjoy having me never contribute to npm ever again.

Log4Shell update: second Log4j vulnerability published
We spent a few hours writing this today due to the sh*tstorm that's hit the internet since this 2nd CVE was posted up. It took us some time to do a security analysis of it and to publish our findings.

If you've patched against Log4Shell, please read this to make sure you're not still vulnerable to this 2nd CVE. In some cases, you're still vulnerable depending on how you patched.

In response to this, Apache published log4j 2.16.0 to mitigate the bugs in prior versions (including 2.15.0, the release that was supposed to mitigate Log4Shell initially)

Those numbers, while horrible, work out to about a couple incidents per parish per generation when the time and population-scales are accounted for.

Unfortunately some ~1-4% percentage of humans tend to abuse positions of power. We should always strive for more transparency because these people thrive in secrecy.
Instead of paying 12c per prompt, they wanted you to give them 10% of your pretax income?
Exactly. It is so sad to see many great engineers working on decade-long projects with 300-something single failure points.

That time and money should instead be spent on reducing the cost per kg to orbit, as well as in-orbit manufacturing. Then engineers would spend the bulk of their time on actual science goals, not on tangents of fragile deployment sequences or shaving few grams from there and there.

The differentiator between conservatism and progressivism is whether you seek societal change. If you believe that change should happens incrementally then you're a progressive. The examples you've given just sound like branding.
I think what the commenter is saying is that you shouldn’t “remote in” to a shell; you should use your regular old shell and have it send commands to a server and display whatever it receives back to you. The shell should be an abstraction over a computer; it shouldn’t be integrally tied to any particular computer as they are today

But if you're in an inflatable you're no longer in a vacuum so you'll have air friction to deal with (and thus constant propulsion) right?
And with veganism. Not that I've given up on being 100% plant-based, but I got bored with it after learning the 10 or so repeated talking points (and the derivations in response to people who criticize veganism). Proselytizing was the next step and I didn't feel particularly interested in that. So I left.

I had this same experience with atheism groups too (albeit when I was much younger)... it just gets boring. I think the repetition in religion is much more drawn out. You've got thousands of pages of text and so it takes a lot longer to reach that point of "yeah I've heard this before..." and by that time you've built up a community that has more activities than just reading a sacred text.
One must account for the recent phenomena that religious fathers have far more children.
> Could you clarify this? Plato & Aristotle have both gone in & out of fashion within different communities of thought over the centuries

To this point, I have a few things to say. Plato's more abstract and metaphysical thinking is largely compatible with the teachings of the Catholic Church. It is my reading of history that when we have embraced these more metaphysical ideas, it has often lead to great suffering and barbarism. The inquisition, the crusades, etc.

There was a time where only the clergy were able to talk about religion, as a common person you would simply be ignored out of hand. I see that sort of thinking in the allegory of the cave. I see this sort of thinking today where it is claimed that someone without a degree can't have a opinion on a scientific topic.

In contrast, the Wikipedia article for Aristotelianism claims that:

"In the Islamic Golden Age, Avicenna and Averroes translated the works of Aristotle into Arabic and under them, along with philosophers such as Al-Kindi and Al-Farabi, Aristotelianism became a major part of early Islamic philosophy."[0]

This is why lots of stars have Arabic names, during their golden age they were the first to discover and chart them.

From there, it is my view that Aristotle's ideas form the core of thinking that lead to the Renaissance as access to his works became more common in Europe. The Renaissance obviously was a huge influence on the founding fathers. America with it's right of free speech, is probably the only place that something like modern scientific thinking could take off.

In contrast to the allegory of the cave above, Aristotle was the first to speak about "common sense"[1]. He elevated the common man (it was almost two thousand years ago, cut him some slack) where Plato felt them unworthy.

> Is the shift more recent, the past half-century or so? Or a specific aspect of platonism that has taken hold?

It's subtle, and I'll be the first to admit this isn't something I can prove, it's more how I feel. Roughly 15 years ago I noticed the start of the idea that someone needs credentials to speak on a topic within the skeptic community, prior to that you'd be called out for making argument from authority[2]. We went from, lets have a debate to shut up, are you a expert, show me your papers. I'm no philosopher, but I see the former as more Aristotelian and the latter as Platonism.

I've heard two conflicting explanations for this

a) Both screens are receiving a 144Hz signal and your 60Hz screen just happens to accept this and drop the extra frames

b) It works as long as it can actually hit 144Hz. As soon as anything drops it will drop to 60 instead of whatever is appropriate for a 144Hz screen. (This comes from the article on how mutter finally split the frame clock on Wayland)
Maybe this is an obvious answer, and therefore not one you're interested in, but there's Siri.

Although audio is sent to the cloud, you can choose whether it is stored or not, and whatever you pick, Apple's privacy policy is very strict.

HomePods are mostly advertised as music playback devices, but I mostly use mine as a HomeKit control device.

Limiting a phone's usable life to about five years feels somewhat arbitrary, and there are iPhones older than the (original) SE that are still getting security updates (5S/6).
Christianity's redemption only costs self denial, hating loved ones (at least relative to the unprovable god), and possibly your natural desires--if they happen to fall outside the biblical norms.

>disease does not spread exponentially. It never does. That’s a laymen fairy tail and it does a great deal of harm in understanding the disease.

>Exponential is not well understood. People don’t know what it means, as evidenced by the fact that they consistently use it incorrectly.

Well, in typical Dunning-Krüger fashion you're lecturing us laymen about the wrong use of "exponential", but it seems that you are the layman when it comes to epidemiology modelling.

Diseases of course spread in an initially exponential phase, not logarithmically as you boldly claim in another comment.

Epidemiologists talk about exponential disease growth all the time, here's one example : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6962332/
That's actually not that hard. The LUN numbers map through 1:1 to the guest OS. So the external LUN #1 is the internal LUN #1, etc...

Then you can use the Windows OS storage pool commands to figure out the internal mapping.

However, you do have a point -- the disk WWN or GUID or something properly unique ought be available via the Portal or the ARM REST API! That's far easier to automate robustly.
The argument that this is a semantic game is not a very good one. The whole point of the article is to demonstrate that there really is no such thing as a sterilizing vaccine; As our scientific knowledge and technology has improved over the years we see that.
Buy open-source hardware that doesn't have so many compromise points? Assemble some kind of bootstrap verifier out of NAND gates and use that to run your own chip fab?
I'm not aware of any private alternatives, but I've been annoyed by the same issue, and since switched to using Siri.

So if you've got a few apple devices such as a homepod / apple watch / iPhone, consider the homekit ecosystem, its been working well for me.
> change the human brain itself artificially

so you're saying what basically amounts to eugenics (but instead of race, it's based on some other criteria) is required to "correct" humanity.

A few weeks ago I dropped by Series 6 Stainless Steel. First time I've ever cracked a screen, so I didn't have Apple Care. Definitely sticker shock. I was able to put a cheap screen protector on it, but in the long run, it costs about the same to buy a new Series 7 and sell the cracked watch as it does to fix it.
