Nice! The general pattern I've encountered with graphviz is to start with it and hope you're done before it starts segfaulting on your data. Would be interesting to see if this helps.

One of the things I rarely see in other graphing tools is the concept of node clusters. Super helpful in a bunch of situations I've encountered and wish it was more broadly implemented in other layout engines.

This might sound like a crazy idea, but they could always try listening to users! Everytime I get annoyed by something in Firefox and try to find a fix for it, I find a lot of people with the same issue across HN, Reddit, the Mozilla forums, etc. There is rarely any sign that a decision maker from Mozilla cares one bit. But rather than listening to the many vocal complaints, suggestions, and other copious public feedback... they add a unique download identifier. Ok then.

I really, really hope that Mozilla gets new management before it's too late (if it's not already).

In the US, Omicron has killed more people than Delta.

Omicron is slightly less deadly than Delta, but it's much more transmissible. That, combined with a lack of preventive measures, made this winter's Omicron wave the second most deadly wave in the US since the pandemic began.

Bulk order single color silkscreen on a cheap tee is around $5. Totes are about the same. Dye sublimation mugs are ~$3. Not sure about nalgene-type bottles but I'm guessing in the $3-$5 range.

I'd guess the biggest problem with tees is sizing. It's not one uniform product to hand out, so you have the added complexity of multiple inventory and people asking to swap their size.

The cost-of-entry should be high, but with a high production rate, aggressive recycling and a consistent user experience, the cost-to-stay should be minimal. Car terminally breaks? Replace it with another one, and recycle the original to make a new one for someone else.

Minimal (ideally zero) waste, minimal impact on the environment, easier for all parties (customer is waiting at-most a few days for a new car; manufacturer spends time servicing lower-impact issues that could be addressed remotely at customer's homes; insurance payouts are less complicated since the resolution matrix is smaller), and significantly safer (new car that's known-good vs a repaired car with unpredictable failure modes due to alteration)

I’m not saying that a Briton will be unhappy in Manchester or in Coventry, I’m saying that for me, a European that lived in Rome and Berlin and Dublin, these are non-places where nothing happens and where there’s nothing to do. When I say that only locals can live there I’m not referring to xenophobia (even if that’s a thing), but to the fact that in places like Harrow or Newcastle there is literally nothing to do, apart from going to the mall or to a pub that closes at 9PM.

You’ll barely find a pub still open at 11PM in Westminster (where I live), let alone Mortlake or Brentford. And don’t make me start on the beer selection. It’s hard to get a decent espresso in London and there are at best 10 places where you can get a edible pizza, I’d be surprised if there were any in the rest of the country. In Westminster I don’t have a single cinema at walking distance (it’s a 20 minute walk to Leicester Square), and I live in the area with more cinemas and theatres in the entire country. I want to reiterate that I live in what is probably the most expensive and most active area of the country, and compared to Rome or Berlin sometimes it feels like living in the middle of nowhere.

Outside of inner London, the UK is a gigantic periphery, with square kilometres of houses and not even a church or a café in a 10km radius. At best you get a shopping mall and a pub that closes at 9PM.

>Additionally, a subset of low entropy variations are included in network requests sent to Google. The combined state of these variations is non-identifying, since it is based on a 13-bit low entropy value (see above). These are transmitted using the "X-Client-Data" HTTP header, which contains a list of active variations. On Android, this header may include a limited set of external server-side experiments, which may affect the Chrome installation. This header is used to evaluate the effect on Google servers - for example, a networking change may affect YouTube video load speed or an Omnibox ranking update may result in more helpful Google Search results.

I’m not sure I follow your argument because you appear to disagree, but then support, the premise :) So I’m probably misreading.

But ISTM that the thing with constrained environments like manufacturing is that the constraints are physical, so everyone is constrained, which means that in a highly competitive environment, all viable players should be optimising and striving to work on the edge of what’s possible, in order to maximise competitiveness and profitability.

So in such an environment, it’s absolutely necessary to “work hard to build quality products”, just to remain in the game. If you instead direct your resources to something else (like financialisation) at the expense of building great products then you will fall behind the leading edge and become uncompetitive or, perhaps worse, a commodity player.

This certainly seems to be what happened at Intel, and also Boeing, both of whom appear to have fallen well back from the edge of what’s possible.

I think the main reason financialisation is easier to do than engineering, is because money is a universal language, and Verilog is most certainly not. Shareholders seem to invest in order to make money from transactions, rather than dividends, and this seems to be a structural flaw in the financial system.
I agree with this sentiment. And if you let companies fail, then you open the market for leaner, meaner companies to acquire their assets and build better products.

As it is, we keep some of these giant companies on life support for years or decades, allowing them to crowd out competition with their sheer size, while also failing to really produce good products that serve their customers.

How is performance compared to Graphviz?
There are some large compiler Control flow graphs with 500+ nodes where Graphviz really starts to take a long time to build a layout (dozens of seconds or worse). Profiling dot a bit, saw that most time was spent doing some DFS, and a lot of the data structs seem to be linked lists, the opposite of cache friendly.

Absolutely.

Chinese society has been largely open for the last 2 years, yet hospitals have not been overwhelmed, and hardly anyone even knows anyone who's gotten CoVID-19.

The measures that public health authorities in Chinese cities take to squash outbreaks are highly visible. If there's a single known case in a city, the building where the person lives will be locked down, the neighborhood (or even the entire city) will be PCR tested, and everyone who's been near the infected person will be quarantined. These measures work.
If something is blocking the eventloop indefinitely, it's unlikely to reach production and even if it does, a simple crash report or perf inspection will reveal it. You don't need more tools than node-report for that case.
Permanent eventloop block is the simple case.

Regular eventloop blocking by synchronous processing is the middle ground.

Performance issues with utilization of resources, too many promises or broken backpressure - that's where the fun begins.

If you can run your software locally and simulate load, just use node clinic. It's the best looking one ;)
Not sure in which measure this "cooling" (of oceans only) would have any impact on other parameters of global climate, but that's a project I'd be eager to work on anyways.
Nicely argued.
Types can only be reduced to syntax when they are static, because only then can we assign type to nodes in the syntax, and declare that every node must have exactly one type as a matter of syntactic correctness.

(But even then, such as thing as type would be formally regarded as a semantic attribute of the grammar. It's syntax in the sense of being a semantic attribute that can be calculated for a node in the syntax, not syntax in the sense of being part of the grammar.)

> If you're following the proper techniques for safety-critical software, then none of this matters; it makes no difference whether you're using wasm or straight C++.

Under what circumstances would it be appropriate to use WASM in a safety-critical system?

To my knowledge there's no WASM implementation intended or approved for use in safety-critical systems.

> WebAssembly is useful for both

I don't think so. I can't see a reason to let lives hang in the balance of a WASM implementation being free of bugs. Use an approved C/C++/Ada compiler and be done with it.

You're right that WASM is pretty robust against malicious code that aims to escape the sandbox. Sames goes for JavaScript. Web browsers are of course very motivated to focus on the security of their language engines.

> Perhaps your adversary, shortly before launching their nukes, triggers the malware in your blinky light controller to blink at the exact frequency that you know will send the operator into a seizure

I don't see WASM having a place in the development of ultra-low-defect software. If you're serious about that kind of thing you use a language and framework like SPARK Ada.

I agree though that WASM may be useful in mitigating the consequences of undefined behaviour in buggy C/C++ code, in some circumstances. In this regard it's nothing new. C/C++ can be compiled to just about anything, including other sandbox-oriented languages like JavaScript. WASM just improves the performance. Linux has been 'ported' to JavaScript at least twice.

Fair. No, I wasn't necessarily saying the same re: spreading, more so that asymptomatic carriers can spread, and thus aren't immune to needing to be considerate of those beyond themselves.

No one will ever know for sure if the person in question did infect others, which is sadly just the grey area that some need to see it fully their way.
that's fair. i am just raising an eyebrow to github's apparent lack of sharding, as described in their incident reports -- while these engineers all left to join a db company that focuses specifically on sharding -- it seems like an experience mismatch.

Why is it "dystopian" and "co-opting" if a company uses a technology like this to operate in a more environmentally friendly way?

"...It just shifts from an individual risk(the corporation) to an existential risk(a big chunk of the economy)."

but that's the point of the early-enough forced bankruptcy - to salvage value and re-internalize the downside risk to owners only.

Modern art is art! I said as much. It doesn't so much lack in execution as it lacks execution: it's often not executed at all.

But that's good! In many ways modern art is pure intent: put something where it doesn't belong, or think of putting it where it doesn't belong, and you're done.

My point is not against modern art, or even about modern art; what I meant to say was actually quite the opposite: that intent is what matters, and if you remove execution but still keep the intent, then there is still art, whereas if you do the opposite, then there is no art.
