Here's a conundrum. Fabrice Bellard's QuickJS engine takes 3 minutes to run the test262 ECMAScript conformance suite. d8 takes 37 minutes to run test262 according to https://medium.com/compilers/testing-the-v8-javascript-engin... and it crashes for me in Chrome https://v8.github.io/test262/website/default.html Has anyone else observed this performance disparity? Could it really be possible that a JavaScript engine written by one guy is 10x faster for everyday code than the flagship product of a flagship company? Because if that's the case it'd make Fabrice Bellard the Han Solo of programmers.

Convection is with fluids. The molecules themselves move (not just transfer of energy). So different issues arise.

The narrative started out that Putin is a dog backed into a corner, therefore he is bluffing and won’t actually invade. The story was also that he has the most to lose.

Maybe the premise was correct, but the conclusion hasn’t been proven valid yet.
vcpkg [1] is also a workable C package manager. It mainly has C++ packages but does include a few C packages e.g. glib [2]. In addition, you can use it on a separate list of package recipes (portfiles as vcpkg calls them), in case you want to use packages not in the central repo. It's based on CMake and runs on Windows and Linux (and other platforms I think but I haven't tried).

For business software, for consumer software it largely didn’t or was heavily pirated. Apple introduced a purely consumer OS and got consumers used to the idea of paying for software. It didn’t last though, the larger trend was to push the price down to zero. Now users complain about apps having a subscription as if it’s the greedy developers fault that we’re in this position.
I buy lottery tickets because it's fun (for me) to pretend that I will win. It's playing as in "lets pretend" and "dressing up". I know that it's 1:14,000,000 against and I know how big a 1,000,000 is.

Dreaming in the longer run is good, and goals can provide meaning and structure in what is essentially a meaningless and chaotic world. Living in the moment is also good, playing is good.

On a daily basis you could never tell which method of extracting a document would or wouldn’t work. Sometimes they wouldn’t open at all. Or would only open on web, but not desktop (or the other way around).

Seriously, the reproducibility and ability to just share a Dockerfile is amazing, especially with version pinning.
Well, the first fully coverd war was Vietnam. Which played a huge role in the US public loosing faith in that war.

All the other social media covered wars were, well, covered by the parties fighting the West. Which is a different story.
Well isn’t that exactly the game dynamic and prisoner’s dilemma?

What I don’t understand from the West was this arrogant attitude that it is unilaterally a losing hand for Putin, rather than a prisoner’s dilemma?

Even if he is acting to his detriment, it may be very well be the most optimal of moves he could make ( in his calculus ).

The idea of him being a madmen has been fluctuating in and out, but that’s only if you look at the outcome. If you consider all the outcomes, it might very well be rational ( morality is not necessarily part of the rationale ).
If you have to ask you probably lack the suspicion gene.

It is not unreasonable search and seizure. It is bog-standard border control no different than having your suitcase searched when a sniffer detects contraband, or when your nervousness alerts the border officer that you’re lying to them about something.

No government will just let you waltz on through when they have even the slightest suspicion that you’re doing something illegal. It’s daft to expect otherwise, just plain dumbassery to even suggest it.
Unfortunately its not that uncommon, we did that too in Vietnam where 2 million civillians died.
Our government set up agenda to „bomb the back to stone age”.
We dropped 3 times more bombs than were dropped during whole ww2.

Its unimaginable how brutal that war was, no wonder why there was so much opposition back then, sadly nobody was tried for war crimes ugh.
The question is about evidence, not photos on some forum.
> Of course we always had the news, but a reporter showing the aftereffects from a safe distance are a bit different from the single soldier streaming the images of the Russian warship before telling them to go fuck themselves.

Nuclear energy isn't scalable in either the long or short term. The renewable energy route is faster than wishing for thorium based technology.

Most countries are just not in a position to scale up their nuclear industry, and extremely reluctant to do so. It is a lot harder to get rid of all that industry when you are done with it, than with any fossil based plants built to bridge the gap. All of that leaves out considerations like a neighbor invading your country and trying to blow up your shit.
I don’t understand all the history and nuance of the situation, but I feel incredibly guilty on behalf of the west for courting Ukraine for admission to NATO / EU, but leaving them in a very precarious and vulnerable position in the meantime.

It’s just an impossible and sad situation.

So, you are saying that clueless HR people are employed at such very large companies as NVidia, Microsoft, Google, Apple, IBM, AMD, and ARM? I'll bet you can find cigarette smokers working in them, too. And Russian Empire sympathizers.

If you ever had a point, you lost it some time ago.
I'm not misquoting them. How do you propose I can cause someone to _literally_ have less money in their pocket, without me _literally_ taking it out of their pocket? Regardless of whether that pocket is a literal pocket, or a bank account? By definition I am "taking".

My act of piracy does not "very literally" cause any amount of money to be removed from the IP owner. And if the poster meant to invoke the more colloquial form of literally, they damn well shouldn't have qualified it with "very."
And France has a lot of trouble right now because they can't sustain it.
I don't know, I always feel much less productive doing web development rather than desktop. I've been doing some work with drawing on a canvas and it feels archaic compared to doing the same thing on Windows or macOS.
Cars have other issues such as noise pollution and road danger.

> At the very least, its better if the excess markup goes to the entity which can reinvest that into additional production to eventually saturate demand, rather than a middleman who adds no value but collects rent on regulatory capture (see: Texas laws banning non-dealerships like Tesla from selling cars unless they allow local rich families in the state to collect their rent)

I'm not so sure. You're giving a rather tendentious account of the practice, and I'm pretty skeptical of handwaving "regulatory capture" as justification to get rid of regulation some corporation dislikes. As far as I understand, the dealership system was meant to engineer more competition into the auto market [1], and frankly I prefer something like that than giving more control to larger companies.

[1] And that passes the smell test, at least. A dealership is buying in bulk and can probably be assumed to be more savvy in negotiating with the manufacturer than a private consumer. And putting those dealerships in competition with each other should put downward pressure on prices.

I really wish Putin would give a long and hard think over the letter[1] that Nikita Khrushchev sent to John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. An excerpt:

"If, however, you have not lost your self-control and sensibly conceive what this might lead to, then, Mr. President, *we and you ought not now to pull on the ends of the rope in which you have tied the knot of war, because the more the two of us pull, the tighter that knot will be tied*. And a moment may come when that knot will be tied so tight that even he who tied it will not have the strength to untie it, and then it will be necessary to cut that knot, and what that would mean is not for me to explain to you, because you yourself understand perfectly of what terrible forces our countries dispose."

If it’s possible to lose your ability to tell the difference between Fantasy and reality merely by taking drugs or by willing it, perhaps it’s also easy for something to inject itself into reality as a wolf in sheep‘s clothing. Psychedelics are dangerous but not in that way. For me they have been a reminder to challenge assumptions, including those held by most people, about this place.

Honestly, I stopped using Reddit, the amount of Ukranian propaganda has been through the roof. People are romanticizing the war. I log in to look at memes and cat videos and instead watch kids making molotoves.

UNIX/POSIX clones and embedded still demand C for most workloads, so that is going to be quite hard to ever change.

There is some hope for embedded, when enough developers are gone, however for UNIX/POSIX it is impossible given the symbiotic nature of both, only when we get rid of UNIX clones.

26 minutes worth? That can't be right. Sending 250 MB (uncompressed) to 7 machines shouldn't take that long.
In case you didn't click, their point is that it isn't dying at all.
SkyNews literally just said, "We are used to wars far away, but now the refugees are at our shores." Let that sink in.
Current reactors can be 1600 MW. This is more like the seventies and eighties reactors at 400-500 MW.
Which is great!
Maybe it's not a coincidence that a lot of nuclear energy was built back then, which we are benefiting from, to this day.

Finland has the famous Olkiluoto 3 EPR project that is being ramped up currently. There is a next reactor project in Hanhikivi that is in very early phases. But it was to have been supplies by Rosatom, a mostly Russian consortium. Pressure vessel manufacturing in Ukraine etc. So that project is frozen now. It has been suggested that perhaps multiple SMR units could replace it. Infrastructure has been planned and permits for the large part already exist.
This is what we've found. For a certain kind of simulation, we can process data on a single core at ~.5x line rate (I think this could be a lot faster if we took this problem seriously) so if we move to some arrangement where hosts have to download the data in order to process it, they can only use 2 cores each, and every 2 cores we want use requires another storage box to download the data from! Paying for hardware to increase "line rate" and sending zstd-compressed files over the wire might get us a factor of ~60 here, but even then we pretty rapidly run into issues where the data has to be placed on a bunch of distinct hosts in order to be useful, since 120 cores is not a lot of machines.

In the future we expect to have workloads that do less computation per piece of data, which makes the need to move our compute to our data much more acute.

Yeah, if it wasn't the App Store, it would just be piracy.
Don't bother, it's easier to talk about religion.
People that prefer native apps reason from the user's perspective, not the developer's. The user doesn't benefit from the fact that it's easier to get a web app up and running; they just see a GUI that is less responsive. And yes, a shared document is convenient for collaboration, but having the control of storing and being able to access a specific version offline on a device you own is also valuable.
Sure, nuclear weapons exist in the context of the war, but what I mean is that the alternative to protracted standoff bombing of cities into rubble is a nuclear attack (which is basically the same thing but faster).

I suppose the other option is a good old medieval-style siege where you literally starve the cities out (add biowarfare for extra Hague points), but statically camping outside a city is not very safe unless it's the only enemy city.
In the UK that is a 'large' glass of wine. The NHS¹ calls 175ml 'standard' (slightly more than usual) and 125ml 'small'.

For the UK this is all not that relevant, because there the concept of the 'alcohol unit' is much more ingrained and used in public health campaigns, so you would work with those. E.g., with the recommended upper limit of 14 alcohol units, you could drink a standard glass of wine (175ml) six days of the week (12.6 units), or have a bottle of lager six days of the week and a pint of Guinness on Saturday (13.2 units).

Winning with Data: Say No to Insights, Yes to Out-of-Sights
My brother had mild breathing issues and back pain for a really long time. He resisted getting tested until the day his pain got severe enough to call for an ambulance. It turned out to be a giant tumor - large enough to press against nerves and cause back pain. He’s the fittest person I know and we all thought he overdid himself at the gym causing a back issue.

It’s just that everything can be cancer and nothing. Some cancers have obvious symptoms others not so much. Any unexplained and rapid weight loss seems to be the most obvious. I don’t want to look up all the symptoms. Everything from gastric issues, back pains to moles and warts can be due to cancer.
We don't understand our actions. We call it economics. But does not mean there are no laws because we don't want to see them.
Well, seeing fires at the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe, as a European, didn't actually make me think "God I wish we had more of these things everywhere!"
Would they?

If US + NATO open war on Russia it may cause hundreds of thousands of deaths (or more) even if nuclear weapons are not used.
As a more naive armchair strategist, I used to think wars were about the best weapons and tactics.

The old saying is that real generals think about logistics, not tactics. The implication is that it is logistics for their troops that is the concern.

Now I see that the true strategic advantage for a nation under attack is not only to have a fighting force that is dispersed, strong in numbers and resilient to attribution, but to also have a population that are dispersed, strong in numbers and resilient to attrition.

Every man is given a rifle and a helmet.

Moreover, every citizen is given a water sanitizer, energy dense food, and a shelter.
So many people avoid the names of people they've disliked or hated. They advise their siblings, children, or friends, "Don't name your child that. I knew someone with that name and I didn't like them."

And yet it seems that so few realize what a poor reason that is to avoid a name. Your perception of a name is not permanent. In fact, your perception of a name is quickly overwritten when you are closely associated with someone of that name.

You'll forget all about that person you don't like if someone close to you shares their name. The person close to you owns it now, at least in your mind.

This is not a judgment of the parent commenter. Everyone has a right to name their children as they choose. I just wish more people noticed how fluid their perception of a name is.
NATO and by that we mean the United States has always been in ambiguous and uncommitted relationships with countries.

Their communication is very subtle and succinct.

It’s the same with Taiwan. They do not deny China’s claim to Taiwan, but that is logically not equivalent to saying they accept China’s claim to Taiwan. They use language that is convenient for the politicians of those countries to appease their constituents while maintaining the status quo and pushing the can down the road.

Biden said he agreed in principle to meet if Putin has not already invaded Ukraine. That’s a weirdly structured sentence if you think about it. In plain English, the sentence seem logically equivalent to “only if”, but if we are focused on pure logic, then Biden can still meet Russia despite Russia having invaded.
From what I can tell as a non-medical professional, some of the most concerning warning signs are:

- Sudden weight loss (>10-15 pounds without a change in exercise or diet)

- Any kind of recurring pain, especially headaches

- Your poop is messed up

- Blood anywhere - coughing up blood, nosebleeds when you don't usually have them, blood in your poop or urine

- Mood or behavior changes (helpful if you have someone close to you who may notice this)

- Feeling fatigued even when well-rested

- Swelling or lumps anywhere

- Trouble sleeping

Which is a lot of stuff, but fortunately can be summed up as "If you feel consistently worse than you usually do, go see a doctor".

The key is to make your judgement of "I am indeed feeling consistently worse" within a couple of weeks, not a few months or even years while hoping it'll get better on its own. It's harder than it sounds - life is always busy and it's easy to tell yourself that your discomfort is mild and you can hold out a little longer. I waited too long to act on some bad heartburn and my few months of delay were rewarded with permanent damage to my lower esophagus...

If you cannot find a meaning in one lifetime, adding a finite number of (other people’s) lifetimes will still be meaningless. (It can make the ending of your own less relevant but I’d say that’s a different issue.)
This is genuinely not an attempt at flamewar but why can't civilians just leave? Russia is obviously going to win. It's the same with Palestenians, they obviously have not and will not win against Israel. The logical thing to do is to leave, suffer but be sure that your kids will have it better. But I reckon this isn't about logic?

Is it a war crime to detain prisoners at blacksites and torture them? It seems like war crimes and ignoring the Geneva Convention are pretty common unfortunately and if Western powers can refrain from doing them places like China or Russia will completely disregard them as well.

I really have trouble with the idea that VS Code is "clunky".

Not least because one of the apps I used to use -- Panic's Coda -- had really severe keyboard lag issues in some situations, on hardware that should have been fine with it.

In my experience VS Code is plenty quick enough, not least when I am editing something inside a VM or on a remote server using the Remote SSH mode.

It might show a bit of keyboard latency but the Remote SSH mode more than makes up for this, for me; the sheer flexibility it offers me as a developer means I am going to ignore a bit of general latency.

And we've put up with worse in IDEs and programmers' editors, for sure.

One thing I would observe about speed complaints in VS Code is that they come from people who navigate through text mostly through keys; people with a vi or emacs back-story.

There is no doubt at all that it repaints more slowly than some editors when scrolling down through code line-by-line or page-by-page with the arrow keys etc., because of all the code actions that fire off when the cursor moves.

But it is not noticeably laggy when scrolling with a trackpad, because the cursor does not move.

This difference probably explains people's very polarised and simultaneously valid responses to VS Code.
Guys, do you know this trick:

You actually hit on a great example of why inflation numbers are flawed. The product you are comparing is "top of the line smartphones". However, the 2022 version of that product is barely even comparable to the 2012 version. The phone, the computer, the car, the house, or the medical care that you purchase today is greatly improved compared to the same item you would have purchased in the past. That improvement is ignored in inflation calculations.
