> Weir's work doesn't count as science fiction

"The Martian" has only traces of Sci-Fi in it.

"Project Hail Mary" definitely has more.
I'm not sure the characterization of science not being full of bullshit jobs is accurate. Many of these jobs are studying fields that finished decades ago, training scientists who will never work in the field, writing endless tiny grant proposals, and trying to publish enough not to get buried.

I think we need a more stable funding model for science that doesn't incentivize gaming the system. I'd love it if 60% of the population had stable employement as scientists while robots did everything else for us, but spending 100x on our current science infrastructure would probably mean less output unless we allow greater independence and stability.
Latex paint steadily degrades until it's dust. The breakdown is accelerated by UV light, but the end product of all exposed latex painted surfaces is the same; it chalks, flakes, and steadily emits dust and fine particles into the environment.

Regular re-painting can keep the old paint largely encapsulated, but it's still there waiting for an unsuspecting home owner to sand or scrape it loose while doing repairs or renovation.

Outdoors, that dust contributes to the lead load in the soil around the house. Indoors, it's house dust, which babies and kids are naturally bathed in because they live closer to the floor than adults do, and because they put everything in their mouths. In both cases the vectors of exposure are both oral and by inhalation.

Another big contributor to lead dust in households is older (early 2000's and earlier) vinyl window blinds [1]. Many vinyl products contained lead, and vinyl chalks the same way latex paint does as it degrades.

I'm not sure that's the case. The markets aren't very keen on missing profit goals, but are very understanding of intentionally not being profitable while you use revenue to invest hard in the business. For instance Amazon has famously not had a focus on yearly profits and regularly has negative profit. The markets are more than accepting of this because they continue to grow and it's information that the market had ahead of time rather than being an excuse for missed goals.

The markets more want you to be honest in your 10-k and S-1 than strictly require short term profits.
> it'll look like a supply issue but ultimately caused by demand

true, but is demand actually higher than pre-pandemic or is it just returning to previous levels (where broken/damaged supply chain issues are now showing up)?

The implication is that this is a terribly inequitable thing, but it makes sense that the "already established and well-known" get additional preference.

I believe it does mention Hyundai, but more about cars. It goes more in depth with aerospace, mentioning America/France and even Indonesia.
I think the context somehow gets lost in this discussion. You indeed need a chain of trust in general, and can't inspect all the software alone even if it's FLOSS, but I'm talking about odd specialized programs shipped by hardware manufacturers (like the one TFA talks about) and similar one-off ones that come from an untrusted source: there's no trust there, no reliance on others inspecting it, but if you have the source code, it's often reasonable to read. Also occasionally desirable to fix or otherwise modify, to integrate into your overall system (that's what I tend to do pretty much each time when interacting with such sotfware+hardware, sometimes reverse engineering and reimplementing it, so maybe my view is a bit skewed). So FLOSS is good, closed source and proprietary is less trustworthy and less usable.
This is a "rewrite" not a "port".
That's nice to know, I'll keep an eye out for when it comes out.
As someone tuned in to queer twitter I can say that if you know someone’s pronouns you should use them, so ideally for Obama you would use he/him. But also we’re all using they/them a lot more for people when we’re not sure and that can bleed in to people even when we do know their pronouns, and generally that’s not a big deal. Only becomes a problem when a trans person has a clear preference for she/her or he/him (or anything else) and a person repeatedly and willfully uses they/them, as that can be used to deny recognition of someone’s gender identity. But it’s generally not a problem if you use they/them for a cis person once, that can just slip out. We’re more sensitive around pronouns for trans people, since they are much more likely to have trauma around that. They/them is cool for someone with unknown pronouns but it’s best to politely ask as soon as possible and begin to use the preferred ones.
All of that is valid for a rewrite, but not efficient if you’re porting the current implementation.

As I understand it, in this case, Rust would be able to have a line to line port from JavaScript.

I do still think your overall point holds. Why not use a library in the Rust ecosystem to help with this problem e.g. some GC<T> type.

How did IBM convince Motorola to modify the 68000 and Intel to modify the 8087? Did IBMers do this work, or Intel and Motorola?

When I was at IBM, we were making x86-based appliances for business software. I thought it would be cool if they used a mainframe CPU instead of x86 for them. It would have been slower, but possibly more reliable. Definitely it could have had some marketing cachet.. On the other hand, we otherwise did not want to eat our own dog-food.
Coin cell batteries can kill toddlers within 48-72 hours if swallowed. Even if they don't kill, they can cause terrible internal burns when the gut shorts the terminals.

No, you can't do better than SQL. "Better" must include both compatibility and maturity, and any SQL alternative cannot have either. (Maturity will require a very long time, and compatibility will prevent the alternative language from getting there.)

Unrelated, TFA says:

SQL is not a small language. ... The main reason is that SQL, in line with its
original goals, strives to be an English-like language, catered to 'non
professionals'.

That's just not true. Yes, SQL was born in the COBOL era, where English-like was the trend. But that's not why it isn't a small language. Rather, it is doing a complex thing, and has grown over a long time to address a lot of real-world problems.
Another concern is which regulators are going to allow such a sale to take place? As noted in the article, the FTC filed a suit against the merger and China was likely to take a similar stance. If NVIDIA cannot buy ARM without running into anti-trust issues, who reasonably could? Any tech company that a) has the capital and b) has the interest would almost certainly run into the exact same problem.

I think an IPO might be the only exit strategy Softbank has for ARM.

Pushes up glasses. Well, actually, the United States of America has never used Imperial Units. We have used US Customary Units which share some of the more common names. But the definitions and sizes are not the same, nor are all the names. Also, since 1893 US Customary Units have been defined in terms of SI units.

> What defines "operating"?

If some aspect of an operation can be detained, expropriated, or extradited, now or in the future, then it operates in that jurisdiction. Otherwise it is just talk. Hence Assange is slowly on his way to the US; Snowden is just cold until the US has something to offer.

> What defines "operating"? Does it mean you are physically based there?

Whether or not I do any business with anyone controlled by the jurisdiction.

It's not a problem in practice.

I can host a website that pisses on Putin in the United States. I have no intentions of ever going to Russia. I don't rely on any Russian services. A Russian may visit it, because, well, Russia has access to the internet. I may be breaking Russian law, but I don't care, because I'm not operating in Russia. Russia can tell their ISPs to block me, or can ask for my host to cut me off. My host isn't likely to comply, because it too, is unlikely to have ties to Russia.

I put up an ad from a Russian company on it. I'm now operating in Russia, and Russia can shut that part of my business down, by forcing the Russian company to stop doing business with me. Once they do, I'm no longer operating in Russia.

Some jurisdictions reach further than others. Russia (or Canada) has jurisdiction over its corner of the world, and little else. The United States has jurisdiction over a very large part of the world, because a lot of businesses that I would partner with have an American presence, and will comply with American requests. China is somewhere in the middle. Its reach extends somewhat beyond its borders, but doesn't straddle the world.

The thing is, that comment by GekkePrutser is not even showing my whataboutism as invalid.

Only wwtrv addressed by direct point and I can say that I only half-agree with him.

But GekkePrutser's reply is something like the OP saying the tram is going straight, me saying that it's going to the right pointing at a 15 degree angle and then GekkePrutser saying that there is no tram, it's a rocket instead and it's actually pointing down and to the left at a 30 degree angle, i.e., waaaaay off-mark.

Anyway, I'm probably breaking a chunk of HN rules continuing this discussion :-)
Most recent was learning we weren't implementing something in the way that was expected, which required a lot of rework and sparked conversations among management that our team was incompetent.

Nvidia also clearly already has an architectural license for their Denver cores and derivatives.
You seem to saying a lot of things here rather declaratively. I will speak to my experience only, but we have used version control, drivers, various HALs, and automated testing (plus some manual, this is HW after all and some end to end tests are simply not worth automating) throughout my time here. So those things have not been holding us back.

With respect to government regulation, every dollar on the BOM is $2-3 to the customer. Many of our competitors are not based in the US. When buying memory you’re probably competing for supply against large car companies who have longer contracts with more committed volume. These are just facts, but they affect what the solution space here looks like.
I would agree also as 3a user. The phone has been my favorite for a long time and its usage is pretty sweet for the price point. But the overall lack of support that google is showing for its old devices is saddening and has kinda put the nail in the coffin for getting a iphone and rolling with it at such a high price point.
> then you’re vulnerable to every security flaw discovered since your last patch.

You do continue to get security updates to Chrome and Google Play Services for many years. The App Store and other external systems may protect you from some other vulnerabilities.

An iPhone gets updates for longer, but the cheapest iPhone costs 3x the price of the Nokia phone I have, so only comparing support period is nonsense. I buy a cheap phone so they are cheap to replace (broken/stolen/lost, often when travelling).

QED?
Software development is a cost center everywhere except at actual software companies, where it is instead "production" with "deliverables", considered like the kitchen in a restaurant.

So now companies that do other things are calling themselves software companies so that their software development will not have to be a cost center. Or "technology companies", as Bloomberg, e.g., which delivers financial news, calls itself now.

It is deeply stupid, but entrenched. I don't know how software stands at SpaceX, which is a "technology company" that, nominally, makes rockets. Is the software that runs in processors physically on board a rocket production, thus a profit center, while the stuff that runs on the ground is facilities, thus a cost center?

The best data I could find was the following https://wp.unil.ch/space/files/2021/12/SPACE-II_2020_Final_r...

Council of Europe Annual Penal Statistics – SPACE II – 2020 - so evidently 2021 not published yet.

that is the full report maybe take this https://wp.unil.ch/space/files/2021/06/KeyFindings_Probation... which is the keyfindings and a quicker read.

Figure 3 on page 5 (in the keyfindings document) - Probation and Prison population rates (per 100,000 inhabitants) on 31st January 2020 shows the median prison population is 103 per 100,000

where probation is concerned
on 31st January 2020, there were 1,512,765 probationers under the supervision of the 31 probation agencies of
the Council of Europe member states which use the person as the counting unit for their stock of probationers...

which would lead to a probation population rate of 311 probationers per 100,000
inhabitants. However, when the European median value is estimated on the basis of the population and the
number of probationers of each country, it corresponds to 149 probationers per 100,000 inhabitants

in Table 3 on page 16 shows Composition of the probation and prison populations on 31st January 2020 and mortality during 2019.

Is your suggestion that some part of these deaths are killings by the EU authorities as a part of policy / extrajudicial killing, or do you mean that there are other deaths that are not in this table. If so - your sources for this claim please?

Every mainstream JS runtime has some sort of background garbage collection and parsing/compilation, but for any execution that has to interact with JavaScript heap or stack state you’re still in single threaded territory. SharedArrayBuffer can help if you’re willing to give up on JavaScript objects entirely, and for WebAssembly this is less of a burden, but that’s not going to help you perform rendering on most web apps concurrently. JSCore goes a little bit further and can run javascript in the same runtime instance on multiple threads with some significant limitations, but this isn’t exposed to developers on Safari.
Consider this! If you can, take a break from programming, and go learn about the world and meet other people. The best programmers I've worked with have all had one thing in common, great communication skills. Traveling the world on your own is one of the best ways to improve your communication skills.

What a glorious little bug. They're trying to scan arguments, and have a loop that starts with (effectively) argv[1]. But if argv is NULL, the loop terminates immediately --- with the maximum argument still set to 1, an out-of-bounds dereference to argv[1] that ends up pointing into the environment. Just beautiful.

One religion, right or wrong, could be more successful based on whatever metric is used for success.

In my case, success for a programming paradigm is a large number of successful projects that use it. Note, this says nothing about opinions. It's a measure of facts. The fact is that there are more successful OOP projects than any other by a inescapably huge margin.

You can argue that everyone is misguided and the whole thing is wrong but that's something else entirely. It doesn't change the fact of that success. If Buddhism being wrong, whatever that might mean, wouldn't change the fact of it's success based on how that is defined. God forbid that the measure of success is enlightenment -- your head might explode.
> All of that is valid for a rewrite, but not efficient if you’re porting the current implementation.

Help me see it?

I can easily see how getting rid of the cyclical structure crosses from "line-to-line port" into "rewrite" territory. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm having more trouble seeing how "wrap some types in cells and pass along a lifetime and arena parameter" crosses that threshold. It might not be feasible at all, though, if tsc compilations are long-lived for language server + incremental compilation support.

> Why not use a library in the Rust ecosystem to help with this problem e.g. some GC<T> type.
