Your point makes sense if you treat states as the relevant actors, but a free trade deal is actually normally about states aggreeing to not stop or impede their citizens from trading with each other, which I think flips it back to being a coercive relationship, though who is coercing who might change depending on the framing. I still tend to think the "imposing western IP regime" frame feels accurate to me, though I would call it "America imposing its IP regime on the rest of the world", perhaps not accurately.
I agree, that is definitely possible. That said it requires lot of work, since there are lot of incoming patches. I wonder how many people would have to review every proposed patch, how to select subset of incoming patches for human review, and how much one have to pay a team doing all this, to get reasonable results and return of investment.

My point was that if security patches are flagged as such from the start, it saves attackers lot of time (and money), as they will no longer have to go through (almost) every patch and evaluate whether it could be fixing a security problem. This means that such scenario will get a lot cheaper, while the defenders won't gain much from that, as one still needs to wait for the fix to be finalized and tested before deploying it in a production environment.

To make it even worse, they laid off most of their Solaris developers a couple years ago.

Somebody who used to work on Solaris before the Oracle takeover commented at the time that just by looking at the number of layoffs, Oracle Solaris was effectively dead.

I am not even a big Solaris fan (although it was the most beautifully named OS ever), but I cannot help but think of Rutger Hauer's dying speech from Blade Runner: I have seen things you people would not believe [...] All these moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain.

If somebody who has been there would write a book about the development of SunOS and Solaris, I would probably buy two copies. If the title included the word Eclipse, I'd buy three copies.
Yes sure. For example, I cannot even give you exact numbers of the footprint of the food we eat or the electronics we use. That would probably a good number to put on a lot of things, in terms of allowing people to make decisions not only on price and quality but hidden costs.

The problem is that externalities are what the name says: things you are not required to factor into your price (something or someone else takes a hit).

Depends on how China responds. The world is in a proxy war with Russia via Ukraine.

China might decide to have a proxy war with the west via Russia. Or maybe not. Since The world is coming together hopefully discouraged shenanigans.

This is kind of similar to how Vietnam was a proxy war between the US and Russia.
If you don't already have parquet deployed, there's a wide gulf (in skill set, overhead, etc.) between CSV and parquet.

If you don't mind being old-school, the data is ASCII text, and you're tired of some of CSV's little issue, then ASCII has the FS, GS, RS, and US control characters - specifically intended for such uses. Micro conceptual overhead, none of the CSV issues which screw up many *nix text-handling programs and little script files, and a decent modern filesystem can handle the compression separately.
Your argument is incoherent, we are talking about electricity generation and you started ranting about cars built in the last decade.

Anyway I love how the pro fossil fuel people claim to be thinking about the poor. In general the policies that reduce carbon emissions will make life a lot easier for the poor (better public transport, support for cycling, cleaner air, etc).
Those cost greenhouse gases to build as well! The question is mostly a distraction, deliberate from some. We of course also need negative emissions; there is no way around humanity causing some greenhouse gas emissions in the foreseeable future.
Actually she never discusses the SPARC reactor. (I would love to see her discuss it.)

2025 is the date that they will complete their demonstration system and show net energy gain. But it will not be a fully functional power plant. Their slightly larger successor system will do that.

But you’d have to listen to their lectures to really understand. The tokamak is a well understood system. They are just using more powerful magnets than ever before, and they recently proved their magnets work. They published their physics basis research paper in Nature, and these are academics from MIT who have talked very openly about their system design. It doesn’t sound like there are any big unknowns remaining except the engineering design of the system itself which is well underway.

Maybe building this tokamak will be harder for some reason. But it really sounds like they can make it happen.
Depends to which sources you're listening to. Reddit and EU mainstream media are filled with constant propaganda that Ukraine is holding up and Russia is suffering from sanctions and loosing the war, but if you listen to actual military experts from the likes of Mi6 and USA agencies, they are skeptical of Ukraine being able to win this and western sanctions barely changing anything in favor of the Ukraine.
Barcelona is a good example of how to not make things homogeneous; the map layout can be similar, but each superblock has its own personality. Not only they are architecturally varied, there's difference in the kinds of businesses hosted in the ground floor. This superblock has a bakery, the next one holds the fire station, the next one is residential but with red brick, the next one has a bank, and so on. It is very different from walking in other "purely residential" blocks that are just closed to the world, looking inwards.
reported is the important word. and those populations are not equivalent.
> I can discern exactly one testable hypothesis from this: that the US would be more willing than Europe to impose sanctions. This idea has already been proven to be wrong.

Incorrect - the US is more willing to impose a ban on Russian oil. This supports the hypothesis.

It is, unfortunately, only really an option that’s particularly feasible for technically-inclined people. Which is a shame, because it speeds up the web so much, and makes a great many pages work much better—but it breaks a fair bit too. (Those are the main reasons I started doing it a few years ago, rather than privacy and such, which are secondary reasons at most to me.)

The sad story: it’s the technically-inclined people that have powerful machines despite being capable of making do with weak machines, knowing better how to manage limited computational resources, but it’s the technically-ignorant people that have weak machines and need more powerful machines.

In other news, after thinking of it from time to time for a few years, yesterday I finally disabled all font selection to see what it’s like, so now pages can only choose monospace, sans-serif or serif (I choose my own fonts for those years ago—all this font stuff is in Firefox’s preferences, BTW, no extension required). It’s rather pleasant, so far, a great improvement, with only very minor trouble from icon fonts.
I would appreciate references on the time complexity of merging sorted lists (if I am not worried about space complexity at all), for arbitrary n and m. There is an excellent discussion in Volume 3 of TAOCP, but the references within are quite old.
> Russia can't make all of that at the same level as the rest of the world combined.

Right now they don't have to, they just need to replace things at the level as Ukraine with just a little help from others. That is much more manageable than “the rest of the world combined”.

> The Russian population is in for a world of hurt.

Which Putin will blame on the rest of the world. While many in Russia are well aware that state run media (and anything else not banned) is often a pile of lies from on high, an awful lot of the general populace are not – disinformation from the top works (and not just in Russia & similar regimes, cf. the cult of Trump) and failing that many people who don't believe the official line will keep quiet about that for reasons of what continued quality of life is possible.

> The Russian population is in for a world of hurt.

The military will do OK for a while at least though. They haven't sent over the majority of their equipment, they'll have plenty in reserve and raw materials for making at least some more. Sales of oil & gas can be funnelled into buying more from outside if needed (massive exchange rate differences don't matter as much if export payments almost immediately go out on import payments, or they can start trading more directly if they have a willing trading partner (China perhaps?)).
At some point in our past, we might have considered a trial to “treat half the group with leeches and skip that care for the others”.

I also live a low consumption life and think others need to adjust as well but residential energy consumption doesn’t include industry or commercial usage which also needs work.
These rates are somewhat useful if you have a flexible fossil backup, as wind and solar are not always available.
If you are going 100% wind and solar, you need to factor in the cost of energy storage as well as efficiency of storage. Then they will be much more expensive than gas.
Since convection depends on absolute height, reactors relying on convection have a certain minimum height. Roughly speaking. So if you scale a reactor down, at some point it becomes very skinny and that might lead to problems. Anyway, 60 megawatts electricity is not too big in my opinion.
My bad then. Thank you for pointing that out.

Make a country default, and perform a totally legal heist on its foreign reserves. Brilliant. Capitalism at its best. Of course the average Russian will pay most for it. But people will applaud.
The only mistake was that Russia, Ukraine and so on weren't strongly invited to join NATO after the fall of USSR. I hope it'll be fixed this time around.
At least the five items below should probably have an answer upfront before embarking on the creation of package manager. Particularly one intended for general widespread use:

- How do plan to address the issues of trust, security, auditing, copyright
and licensing, trough the life-cycle of the artifacts in your registry.

- How do you plan to enforce the artifacts integrity both
registry side as well as client side while using unreliable hardware.

- How do you plan to manage your dependencies and limit the blast radius
of unforeseen events.

- Do you have a community model for namespace management.

- Do you have a model to implement Two or Three Person/Group
rule for critical changes?

Personally, I'm very disappointed Matrix devs still haven't solved decentralized user accounts. Users have no resiliency for their homeserver being unaccessible. It means now to prepare for outernet severance those who chose Matrix in Russia need to organize mass reregistering and reconfiguring of clients (most don't use local servers), which is practically unfeasible and means total disruption of local communication network for them.

On the other hand, most popular messengers will stop working altogether.

I'm also interested in an assessment of Tox and GNU Jami from this angle.
> How do you know that? Because CNN?

There are videos of people getting blown up, eyewitness accounts, and Ukrainian official accounts. It's not something debatable.

> Have you maybe talked to people who didn't want to go there? Or it is the Ukranian government decided "their" people don't want to go there?

So you think that many people would want to be refugees in the country actually invading and trying to destroy their own ? That's ridiculous and everyone knows it. The fact that few, if any, Ukrainians seem to be taking this option, confirm this.
Grand plans usually go wrong. This probably has more to do with hubris and thinking that you can plan things top-down without paying enough attention to letting things develop organically than to organic farming.
Databricks is amazing, the Delta Live Table technology is incredible. It's very hard to approach problems like Data Lineage and Data Quality, but that platform does it in the right way.

V8 is an absolute marvel of engineering. The performance gains are very impressive.

But Chrome still has some work to do on rendering performance. The switch to hardware acceleration was actually a deceleration for quite a few cases. For example rendering very large concave SVG paths is probably 10x faster on Firefox compared to Chrome. I hope to see some effort in future to improve this, too.
"For SAD you can buy these cute little light therapy boxes that are supposed to help, but they don't, because they are not bright enough to make a difference. Waste of money"

Hm. I have no idea how good the full spectrum white light boxes are for SAD. Instead I have a little Philips goLITE Blu -- a very small blue-LED-array therapy box that you're supposed to put just in the corner of your vision.

It is very effective for me, even on its lower powers, to the extent that I can overdose on it and become jittery (like I sometimes do in the spring). It's alarmingly bright on full power, and you really would need to put it much further away. I use it sparingly to help correct drifting sleep patterns in winter (by brightening the middle of the day, usually).

Fifteen minutes or half an hour, a few days a week in December and January, helps enormously.
I think that the extension of rules further and further into areas of life that for most people will go unnoticed but for those that want to do something out of the box the limits will be there ever growing.

Not sure which side makes most use of propaganda. Since we've witnessed how nato won't go help it's de facto ally, it wouldn't be intellectually honest to say China is a propagandist for saying it won't protect Taiwan either. All they will do putting is economical sanctions.

The irony of propagandists calling each other awful propagandists.
> Then defenders should let civilians out by any possible way. If they doesn't, they are not the defenders but butchers.

I don't agree that this includes sending those civilians to Russia, as Russia is a trying to get them to do.

Do you have some sources for this?
People want cheap software, and that’s what they get.
100% correct, but...this is the type of rhetoric that some industries employ to "muddy the waters" when they want to lobby against banning certain chemicals or processes.

Start with "it's complex" and "some people are just more susceptible" and you have a great platform for arguing against eg. banning lead-additived gasoline.

Then add the shifting away of blame from industry and corporations to individuals, sprinkle some "focus on what you can do" (eg. the "ban plastic straws" type useless token-gesture) or "it's that little things" and you get exactly the kinds of stuff industry is currently gaslighting us with, distracting us from high-impact but profit-lowering big measures that could be implemented instead!

I think you have to distinguish. First the Arab citizens aren't treated any differently that any other citizen. Maybe the personal feelings might be that they are treated differently but definitely not on the institutional level. They are a lot of Doctors and people in high positions there, so they enjoy kind of the best life standard they could have in the middle east.

"squeezed out of their land". The Hamas got untouched territory. They could have build a paradise there. Nobody wants this part of the land. So again why send rockets? There is simple no reason - only to stay in power and get the donations.
I remember seeing a paper that concluded the expansion should not be more than the golden ratio (ϕ = 1.618033988749). Given how widespread the golden ratio, I'd hypothesise that it's probably optimal.

The first three fractions approximating ϕ are: 3/2, 8/5 and 21/13. The first two are quick and easy to compute.
Because world gas prices are so high, renewable energy is by far the cheapest option for new electricity generation in the UK already.

Let's take this morning's peak, electricity wholesale spot prices were £600 per MWh. A "subsidised" wind farm in the North Sea might be paid £150 per MWh, which ordinarily is indeed very expensive, but right now that means £450 per MWh comes to the government as the other side of the "subsidy".

There's maybe 13GW of wind power this morning (of maybe 35GW used in Britain). If that was all gas power instead, it would have cost us almost £1M every ten minutes extra on top of what will be on bills anyway.

Even at "normal" prices recently, those wind farms are basically free. Only in the middle of the night when there's no power need and the reservoirs and batteries are full do they drive prices briefly negative and thus their subsidy actually pays them, all day the prices are above subsidy levels and they pay us.

Once this change is implemented, what will the experience at "dealership" be like for customers? I can't help wonder if they'll be met with deep resentment and frustration. Just a bunch of "deadbeats" coming in stealing dealers' time and money preventing them from selling "real" cars and trucks that have predictable kickbacks, incentives, add-ons, service-costs, etc.

As if the experience isn't horrible enough, I can only imagine what it will be like in the near term as these employees' livelihoods as they know (or expect it) are in jeopardy.
