This particular passage reminds me of the anti-example in Strunk & White about "Avoid[ing] a Succession of Loose Sentences."[0]

I know others have pointed out that the article's point is about those with intellectual or learning disabilities, or learners of foreign languages, but I wonder if this really bears out. Literary Latin is full of (extremely) periodic sentences and once one has picked up on the general prosody and feel of this practice, those sentences aren't particularly hard to understand, even as a non-native reader.

Go wasn't their first programming language. For example, one of them started the B language. Another one of them created Sawzall, a domain specific programming language.

Have you looked at the history of the creators of Go? If not, I would suggest looking into it. 2 of the 3 have an amazing history in terms of computing.

I'd be curious if anyone with understanding of memory transistor density has an idea of what sort of physical footprint and power requirements 128-bit addressable memory would look like, because I'm having a hard time picturing even a distributed, shared virtual memory space realistically exceeding 16 exabytes.

It looks like the Fugaku ARM cluster with 158,000 nodes uses < 5 PiB for 40 MW.

As an aside, man does reading something from @sgi.com on USENET take me back to a better time. Title should probably note [1995]

In the trivial case, karma farming bots just keep a database of all Reddit history (it is a public dataset, few hundred gigabytes) and repost the top comments (top threads even) whenever they detect a reposted link (extra points for similarity / reverse image searching)

It’s a project I have on the back burner to analyze Reddit history to check what ratio of comments are actually original, and I’d like to build a link aggregator that sorts by novelty.
I too use an ad blocker, download torrents etc. but I really dislike when we ("tech savvy people") suddenly feign to ignore the rules of society and start to use the same arguments as line cutters, shoplifters, or any non-disabled who park on a disabled spot.

With this approach, suddenly your fun project turns into a job. Which is the exact thing most open source developers avoid.
Isn't the reason simply that reencoding would cost more than the loss of revenue from blocking?
Following some of the spirit of open source, perhaps it could make sense to encourage companies/speakers to make recordings of these kind of discussions available under Creative Commons licenses?

(that might also help to discourage these events from being used as disguised recruitment / interview / feature-request sessions)
I should note that writing data structures in rust is also a fraught business! In practice, that’s just a property of languages that don’t have garbage collection.

Exception safety is a serious complication in c++! Exceptions were a mistake in the language, particularly given the existence now of std::optional.
While I don’t think the paranoia around 5G is justified, this isn’t an appropriate comparison.

Humans have a barrier, known as the “skin”, that’s designed to block the electromagnetic radiation from the sun and repair the damage it causes. Many of us even have an extra protective compound in us known as “melanin”. Nevertheless, damage to this barrier from the sun is responsible for causing many cases of cancer and people often wear protective compounds, known as “sunscreen”, to reduce cancer risks by blocking out the most dangerous ionizing radiation.

What does "relevant" mean? Hacker News is irrelevant to people who aren't into the tech scene. Mastodon is irrelevant if someone doesn't care about federation, but for those of us who do, it's still as relevant as ever.

Neither Hacker News nor federation (I expect) are going to take over the world, but they have their respective audiences.
It used to be that companies had products ready for sale before trying to sell them. Generally with production being funded by a loan.

Is this something that’s just impossible now? Or banks don’t want to fund something like this?
In some places the towing companies are directly allowed to tag and tow illegally parked cars, and inpound them until a fine is paid. You need to be very careful about corruption (that is they don't tow legally parked cars), but towing companies could help you as they make money from illegally parked cars.
There's a company, Tidelift, that has been working on solving this issue as well.

Their solution is to be a VAR on top of the open source and give updates on new versions, advice on remediation and workarounds for CVEs, and help prioritize issues for open source maintainers. The other side is that they pay the maintainers to do what they do best: maintain the software.

Yes, D is depth! Sorry that it wasn't clear. The depth here comes from sensors.
I write Java for a living. In my opinion the largest source of bugs and general misery is the complexity of our codebase which, in my opinion, is sourced to Java community philosophies in Clean Code. There is far too much abstraction, and far too much emphasis on making sure code does everything/is flexible as opposed to making sure code does the thing it is meant to do. As a result the amount of the codebase any one can understand is much smaller and people make bandaid fixes rather than deep fixes. Having a shallow deeply understandable code base is crucial in my opinion, and having APIs that are extra complicated and hard to use makes it much harder to use them well/make changes.

The book "A Philosophy of Software Design" has been formative for me.
I'm certain that there is a valid reason. Nevertheless, it feels like a footgun and that footgun will find itself embedded somewhere deep in code I didn't write. If it can explode in my face despite careful testing, I'm not really happy about that perspective.

I'm sure that there is a tradeoff somewhere and that you gain something by allowing this in the library. But I'm strongly on the side of developers for whom reliability has a very high priority.
The move to remote working has been fairly limited, and only ever applied to certain white-collar occupations. Most employees still show up in person every day.

Work location is part of the total effective compensation plan. Employers have always been able to pay people less and have a wider pool of candidates by offering remote work.
I agree! But luckily transformers let us take matters into our own hands. This solution aims to provide any type of metadata you'd be interested in and already covers a great deal of cases like reflection on classes without decorators, getting tokens for interfaces, reflecting on interface structure, doing object shape matching at runtime, reflecting on functions and more!
I'm surprised not to see any mention of Tor (https://publishing.tor.com/) among the ethical e-book distribution platforms.
Butter wasn't always standardized - that started in 1907, and as you can imagine, it wasn't universal for a bit of time (though how much, I don't know). Additionally, you can substitute a cup of some tub "butters" for the real butter called for in a recipe.

They had 128-bit computing in the 1970s if you count this sort of thing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_AS/400

which used 128-bit unique identifiers for objects that could be in RAM or kept persistently in storage which was transparently managed by the OS, language runtime, etc.
It's always great to read how these worked...

I'm the proud owner of both a real CPS PCB and a bootleg (but still vintage) PCB (they go in a arcade cab). If I'm not mistaken once you've got a CPS PCB, you can flash any CPS game you want on it.

As piracy was rampant with these, Capcom added a battery powering a Z80 on some CPS boards and if it was ever off, it'd erase the game. These Z80 are known as "Kabuki Z80". The issue is that... 25 to 30 years later, all these batteries started failing and these board would "suicide" themselves. So there are people out there who "desuicide" (it's the term employed) these boards.

They're a great piece of history and, well, of course Fabian Sanglard had to blog about it!

The Wikipedia page is a cool read too:

I use the keyboard 99% of the time. Practicing short keys, until they become muscle memory, is a good skill to have. I use vim short keys. But learning emacs would be fine as well. I think it won't hurt to learn both short key bindings.

Some tips for using vim shortkeys:

* You can install the hardmode plugin of vim, https://vimawesome.com/plugin/hardmode. This will disable the arrow keys, page up/down, and hjkl. This way you can only use the "advanced" vim short keys.

* Vimium is a plugin for firefox and chrome which allows you to browse on the internet using (some of) the vim short keys.

* All insert-mode short keys of vim also work in most terminals. Few people realize the equivalents: ctrl+m <-> enter, ctrl+h <-> backspace, ctrl+i <-> tab, ctrl+[ <-> escape. Control can easily be hit with your left palm. These two things combined saves a significant part of moving your hands. Since I program between 6 to 10 hours a day, these small changes are the difference between RSI and no RSI.

Good luck!

> I’ve been judged by prospective employers based on reported app size being seen as correlated to complexity.

This judges the prospective employer more than it judges the candidate, doesn't it?

This is actually nothing new. Back when I was at uni some students claimed to do the same, adding code that served no purpose to inflate the resulting program executable size.

And if my memory serves me well, at this time when windows was still young and software was swapped around on floppies, software sizes started to skyrocket and I've heard then that the secret reason for this lack of care was that size was the easiest way to impress users and the tech press (all while making piracy more inconvenient).
b is a limitation. C++ makes writing good general code a nightmare so you reduce to taylor your data structures to your problem

c is just folk wisdom. That quote is just untrue

a is true but it has gotten to the point that implementing C++ std libraries and compilers is so daunting a task that even the big vendors do not rush into it anymore. There is this growing fatigue that left only MSVC, gcc and llvm in the game, and even them are always late to the standard

I see their statements as indicating that they do know in fact there are failure modes that will occur some of the time. When you use could in this context, it's to indicate that it won't happen in all circumstances, not that you don't know if it can happen at all.
Ngrok was really cool since I never thought about reverse proxying my localhost before l tried it.

But for the price of ngrok I'm paying for a domain and a 2gb ram/2 CPU VM on hetzner and using SSH tunnels to nginx reverse proxy.

And setting up a shared server for a team with subdomains is just 10 mins of config changes per user - no way they can justify the cost for me.

If it was some symbolic price like 20$/year then I wouldn't bother, otherwise I'll take the VM I can load other random dev crap to when I need it.

And you're using standard web tech to set this up - if you aren't familiar with something required to set this up you will be better off learning it in the long run (if you're the target audience for ngrok) : VM setup, nginx, reverse proxy, SSH tunneling, let's encrypt, domain management/DNS - all valuable fundamental skills to acquire on a small project.

I was bitten by this.

While staying in the US I setup an Amazon account in 2010, and ordered a Kindle2 with 3G connectivity. It was fantastic! I could purchase books anywhere in the world - no WiFi!

At some point however the renewal of my US credit card did not get delivered to my Australian address and I kind of forgot about it for a while.

Last month I sorted out my credit card issues and went to buy a book, but could not - my Amazon account was locked. Support staff refused to fix it, apparently if you haven't logged in for over a year then they won't send you a password reset (I still control the associated email address!). The only option they presented to me was re-creating the account with the same email address. I lost all of my books and all of my wishlists :(

Aerospace specific software that goes to space or code that just happens to go to space as part of bigger projects?

Here are a couple of the former:

RTEMS https://www.rtems.org/
Core Flight System (cFS) https://github.com/nasa/cFS

NASA has a lot of open source projects including a bunch that don't "go to space" but are used in space related projects (check each project for contributor guidelines):

https://github.com/nasa/openmct - web based mission control software
https://github.com/nasa/trick - simulation for for all phases of space vehicle development

You should check out their github organization for all available projects (https://github.com/nasa).

Also, European things as well such as the ESA's github organization: https://github.com/esa, and Germany's DLR: https://github.com/DLR-SC.

Another good group to check out is TU Delft: https://github.com/tudelft, https://github.com/tudelft-iv and others.

Not to mention a bunch of open source CFD projects on github that are widely used and other similar tools. Again, not strictly software that goes to space, but you will find more of that too if you search for projects related to those mentioned above.

In general flying is more expensive in NA because of less competition and bigger distances. That's what I noticed when I moved from Europe to here. Now you have to take expensive tests to fly international both ways. That's why I consider it a luxury.
It is frustrating that the OBD2 dataflow, which covers far more than emissions-related features, is only required in conjunction with emissions and therefore does not apply to electric vehicles.

A more thoughtful legislature would have required a diagnostic port for all vehicles. Required that it emit codes covering all computerized aspects of the car. Required that all codes be emitted on the standard port, required that all manufacturers publish documentation for the meaning of the codes.

(Of course it's probably not a matter of thoughtfulness, but rather a negotiation between many stakeholders, including lobby groups with substantial budgets.)
The basic problem with C++ is that it has has hiding without safety. C has neither, and most newer languages have both. Attempts to add safety to C++ via templates always seem to leak raw pointers, since many APIs never converted to C++. It's significant that there isn't a C++ Linux kernel API, where you use C++ strings for everything and get rid of the null-terminated stuff.

You see this in the original poster's example. He's doing C-type I/O in C++. Of course it doesn't work cleanly.

It's frustrating. C++ is object-oriented. The cool kids don't like that. So, Rust isn't object-oriented; it uses traits and generics. Those are different enough that there is no one-to-one way to convert modern C++ into safe Rust. It takes a redesign.

So we're kind of stuck.

If you're familiar with game engines, consider what it would take to convert Unreal Engine to Rust.

It's a specialization of entomology, yes. That said, and to the point of your initial uncertainty, there has long been question over the presence of the "hymen-" radical in the family name Hymenoptera ("-ptera" meaning "winged", cf. Orthoptera "straight-winged", Hemiptera "half-winged", Lepidoptera "jewel-winged", etc., and also eg Chiroptera "hand-winged" for bats.) It's confidently understood to derive from the name of a Greek god of marriage, as does the name of a more widely known mammalian membrane, but no one is entirely certain why that radical was used here.

It was previously thought that "hymeno-" referred to the membranous nature of the hymenopteran wing, but this doesn't make much sense given that all insect wings are membranous to some extent; a name in that sense would not differentiate the family, and thus be a relatively unlikely choice even on the part of a classical taxonomist. Currently the radical is understood instead to refer to the fashion in which hymenopterans' rear wings can lock into the forewings via a series of small hooks, in order to both support the mechanics of flight and allow bees and wasps to narrowly fold their wings along their backs where they do not obstruct entry into narrow spaces such as brood burrows and nest cells. This feature, which is distinctive to hymenopterans, could very reasonably have inspired the family name Hymenoptera, meaning "married-winged".

I agree and throw ~$25 a month to various folks on Patreon / Substack. Content creators will always have to pay the piper to some degree though if they want a platform for distributing their content, and discoverability. Patreon gets by right now by relying on external hosts for videos (See https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017431292-S...) and by largely having creators direct their audience from existing platforms. Without YouTube or Twitch or Twitter, Patreon doesn't have much of a leg to stand on. I definitely look forward to YouTube getting stiff competition from a direct monetization focused video platform though.

If you mean legally obtaining the books you want to read, there's also the use case of home-made/unofficial copies; there are e-books floating around of books that are no longer in print (digital or dead tree versions). You'll pry my Animorphs ebooks from my cold, dead hands!

There are also certain use cases where stripping DRM is allowed by law, and in those cases, yes, you would want FOSS hardware and software.

Just pointing out that "caring about physical drive failure" and "caring about disk corruption or data loss" are completely independent and the latter does not directly equate big money (as there are already systems and SOP in place to deal with handling failed servers). Btrfs isn't notorious for actually frying disks, just the data on them.
I dunno if it's doomed or not, but I picked up the language again recently for a project of mine and whenever I look at cppreference.com for any of the newer features I feel like an idiot.
