I have always wondered what the world might be like if Apple had also focused big time on developing a server version of MacOS. I am very much not a fan of Apple as a company in general but I have always liked OSX quite a bit.

Then again they would probably charge 10x as much for a 2U rackmount server where the main difference was a nice stainless steel front fascia...

Not discounting your experience, just saying it doesn't match my own.
It is actually, and it is not the basis for almost everything. Functional code is usually declarative instead of being imperative. SQL is declarative, not imperative. The vast majority of the code written is imperative. It uses "if" instead of polymorphism for example, it doesn't rely on message passing or encapsulation or anything like that. You can't just ignore a paradigm and say that the second one is the most used.
I'm not saying that -- I am saying that isn't a sufficient reason to support crypto. The costs are greater than the gains if that was the sole function.

You've cherry-picked a bunch of non-coastal cities, but completely missed that nearly all of them were built on rivers.

Which have all of the same problems with flooding as coasts, but much worse. Coasts flood when you get a major storm causing a surge, or a major earthquake. Rivers flood when the seasons change, when it rains upstream, when you get a mudslide upstream, when there's a major earthquake sending a tsunami upriver...

Why do you think cities built on coasts and rivers on the whole grew, and out-competed cities that were built inland?

Yes, quite a lot I would imagine. I use it extensively at work and similarly sql heavy software companies in the past. That being said, I’ve also worked at places where they’ve avoided it like the plague – largely because few people were competent at it – and were moving away from relational DBs due to scale.

I agree with you and in general the move from owning software to accessing a service has been detrimental for the end user (more costs, more problems, less control).

But the restriction here is most likely just the inability to share (I would guess publicly). I don't believe it prevents you from accessing your file.
It isn't necessarily a good assumption that someone is taking someone else's profit. More often it's simply people realizing that projected profits won't happen; many of them never existed in the first place.

Crops fail. Promising biotech turns out to be impossible; new drugs are shown to be ineffective. The housing market turns out not-to-go-up-for-ever. A drought in Taiwan stifles semiconductor manufacturing and good chips are hard to find for years; ASML's factory catches fire. Oil spills, and must be cleaned up; Union Carbide leaks gas all over Bhopal. COVID-19 kills people, makes others (rationally) fear for their health, and far less gets done.
The grid has held up just fine. We are hardly even taking advantage of the easy things like charging cars mostly at night when there is excess power. Ignore texas' failing network, that's their own fault for not requiring cold and hot weather power requirements.

Most of our customizations and modifications have been upstreamed. We get similar performance on production 100g and 200g boxes when running the upstream kernel. I see no reason I shouldn't be able to hit 380Gb/s on a single-socket Rome box with an upstream kernel. I just haven't tried yet.

Most of the changes that I have for the 700g number are changes to implement Disk centric NUMA siloing, which I would never upstream at this point because they are a pile of hacks. They are needed in order to change the NUMA node where memory is DMAed, so as to better utilize the xGMI links between AMD CPUs.

> So for example in Rust, you are absolutely welcome to move an immutable object.

In Rust, your code won't even compile if you try to use a moved-from value. In C++ what happens depends on what the moved-from state looks like.

In C++, if you do something like use a moved-from value, it's really not obvious what "should" happen at all. It's not even obvious whether that should compile or be undefined behaviour.

Disproving misinformation by those who are making flawed arguments, whether out of ignorance or whatever’s takes far more effort than spouting them in the first place.

I glanced over it and it’s clear the author has no idea about statistics or rates. Oh at a time when a few hundred million vaccines were administered there was an uptick in absolute numbers of reported vaccine side effects? Wow! And that happened in the context of a large portion of the population being deathly afraid of the vaccine and anxious about it?

If one wants to present an unpopular and not viewed as credible point of view, it’s pretty important not to look completely ignore simple alternative explanations that are unquestionably causing part of the effects one is talking about

I've tried to use Nix on and off for years. I always run into issues where I need to write some package and

(1) I get mired in packaging low level transitive dependencies and things which seem like they should be easy end up being nearly impossible

(2) Basic things like figuring out the argument types for a particular nixpkgs function take an insanely long time. It always involves grepping around the whole repo (nixpkgs is huge for those who don't know) for invocations to find the variable that gets passed into that function and then grepping around the repo for the function that produces that variable and so on until you get to the source type. Things have awful names and documentation is sparse.

I'm a big believer in Nix as an abstract concept, but the execution has been a miserable experience for me to the extent that I can't make sense of people who report such positive experiences. I would think I'm doing something wrong, but so many people have corroborated my experiences and when I bring specific issues to experienced Nix users they also get stuck.

Ultimately, I've reluctantly gone back to dealing with Docker and system package managers because their failure modes are rarer, more predictable, and more easily worked around.

EDIT: and I haven’t touched on the problems associated with using Nix in an organization. It seems like invariably one or two people become “the Nix experts” and they become the bottleneck for the whole organization, every team needs to coordinate virtually every interesting activity with them, etc.

For any who want this kind of pipelining way-of-writing-SQL that has the benefit of existing in live production databases today, I highly, highly recommend looking into Postgres' and Snowflake's LATERAL JOIN keyword.

The TL;DR is that they allow you to reuse annotated and aggregated columns in an incredibly elegant way. Compared to OP's proposal, you still do need to start the query with what columns you want to come out at the end, and normal SQL weirdnesses still apply - but it's far, far, easier when writing massive analytics queries to see the flow of variables from one stage to another.
Is it really that black and white? I think there is a continuum in hosting service. Not just A) very low end VPS, and B) unlimited cloud.

The fact is that there are low end VPS, middle end VPS, high end VPS, and dedicated servers. If you started from a low end VPS, it is very easy to gradually upgrade your VPS.

A $5/month VPS can be used to play for tons of things. I just don't get people who use free tier cloud, unless you just want to learn about the cloud hosting per se.

> I believe it's due to ignorance of the increasing risks associated with bitcoin and of the existence of better technology. Smarter criminals are already using Monero.

The risk is practically non-existent, they're not getting caught through the blockchain.

> You don't even have to infer anything. Just look up a known address and you can see its entire transaction history. There are rich lists which allow you to track whales. You can literally see them deposit the coins on Binance when they're about to dump on the market.

That shows a misunderstanding of how Bitcoin wallets work. There are some services that claim to track the inflow/outflow of Bitcoins to exchanges but they are very approximate and you can't track individual "whales". If you use a modern wallet there really shouldn't be more than 2 Bitcoin transactions per address (in and out).

> Exchanges will refuse these coins and as a result so will everyone else because they won't be able to cash them out.

That is false.

PS: I know there are blockchains with better anonymity than Bitcoin but please, slow down with the overstatements.

Saying a lot and causing confusion usually go hand-in-hand.

I stick to ICs from the 1970s and 1980s; after that, things get too hard to understand. Books from that era provide a reasonable description.

For digital circuits, Mead and Conway's Introduction to VLSI Systems is a good source of information. It's available online: https://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/VLSI/VLSIText/VLSITe... (the link seems to be down right now, though.)

For analog circuits, the book "The Art of Analog Layout" is good if you can find a cheap used copy. The designer of the 555 timer wrote an interesting book "Designing Analog Chips" which I found very interesting. It is available online: http://www.designinganalogchips.com/

There's also an online tutorial on IC reverse engineering: http://siliconzoo.org/tutorial.html
OOP is a strict superset of imperative. You don't even need an object-oriented language to do object-oriented programming -- just an imperative one.
People distinguish heavily between intentional and accidental harm to them, so lacking self awareness is a survival mechanism.

I have worked for a company that had a data breach.

- If I said in the post mortem that I didn't report the issue as it was more work and I could not be bothered, people would be enraged, but beyond the yelling, I would probably survive in that role.

- If I said that I didn't report the issue as I wanted to seem like a hero when I fixed it (real thing my boss did from my days at another company), I would be fired.

- If I didn't report the issue due to not knowing the right channel, they criticize my lack of initiative, but it is understandable.

- If I did not report the issue due to not knowing about it, I am blameless.

You cannot admit to being a bad person without taking a lot of flack.

Awesome! Would love to see an implementation. I worked on something similar over the Summer. It’s just relational algebra with pipes for composition. If you are interested, we could get an antlr grammar going and plug it into this basic execution engine to get a feel for the language.

The idea that this specifically matters surely arises from the same logic that thinks certain companies are worth more or more performant because their per-share price is higher.
For C++17, true. Not so if you're using an earlier compiler and/or language standard. Yes, yes, I know we should all get with the program, but that's alas not how the world operates.

> What was your route towards biomedical engineer?

These days you can do an undergrad or masters level specialization in biomed, but that hasn't been true for very long. People make there way their from all sorts of paths, including (pretty often) mid-career moves.

One thing that impacts it is you are typically working in a regulated industry, so it's easier to make the change if you have some experience in this. This can be more of a jump for people in software who may haven never seen formal engineering practices. This sounds scarier/more annoying than it is (or at least, than it has to be)

Contrary to some comments here, pay wise it seems to mostly be pretty middle of the pack. Nobody that I know of is going head-to-head with FAANG for "pure" software roles, but overall seems comparable to similar jobs.

Oh, of course, and in my case it was an important discovery, because my custom packages were all also defined in terms of my own mkDerivation-wrapping function, so I happily copy-pasted the definition of overridePythonAttrs to make my own overrideMyAttrs version of it.

But it was brutal that I had to just stumble across this. I think the article correctly identifies that there is decent enough documentation in Nix for:

- Beginners to the nix language/concept (Nix Pills)

- Beginner users of NixOS (the NixOS manual)

- Beginners to packaging for Nix (wiki articles, blogs)

But there is a huge, huge gap for the user who is trying to cross the chasm and become a true expert in it all— who wants to understand at a deep level things like how overlays and namespaces work, how bootstrapping works and what is the division of responsibilities between nix and nixpkgs, plus the inner workings of things like buildEnv and stdenv.
Note that I’m not talking about if std::optional itself allocates more than it needs to at construction (which I know it doesn’t, as cppreference.com says so), but if the compiler might generate an additional copy constructor call if it is value-returned from a function (which I’m worried about since NRVO isn’t in the spec and you can’t rely on it).

It’s more specific to the example code the original commenter posted (and about general out-parameter usage) than the flaws of std::optional itself. Maybe this didn’t get communicated properly from my comment.
