I only think I see one thing that stands out...

> For example, instead of using using the term "Bachelor" or "Bachelorette", this term can be replaced with the word gender-neutral word "Baccalaureate".

This is a substitution that only makes sense in the context of college degrees and even then only barely. (One would not describe a Bachelor of Science degree as a gendered thing, and say that a woman has a Bachelorette of Science degree or so.) A serious website would have recommended a plain word like “unmarried” or “single,” rather than such a strange construct.

It is not incorrect. Singular they is a perfectly legitimate construction and there's nothing ungrammatical about it. Additionally, if a substantial portion of the population of speakers uses a certain word or construction, then it's no less legitimate than any other. That's how language has always worked, it's defined by usage. What you're calling 'precise language' is language without ambiguities, which simply doesn't exist. Ambiguity is an inevitable part of natural language. You're suggesting that non-native speakers might struggle with it, but as a non-native speaker I can assure you that a pronoun with different meanings depending on context, such as 'they' is an absolute non-issue compared to all the other quirks that natural languages like English have on offer, and always have had.

Thanks for this! I learned a few new ones.

The main feature I want from a window manager is the ability to save my OSX workspace (applications open and tiled per Desktop, per monitor) and reset it to that state instantly. I haven't found anything that does this yet. Does Karabiner, yabai, or any of the tools mentioned here do this?

I'll spend significant time setting up my window environment just how I want it (grouping chats on Desktop 1, localhost browsers on Desktop 2, terminals on Desktop 3, etc.) Then after unplugging my Macbook, my workspace gets all messed up and I have to re-organize everything! I'm surprised this isn't a more commonly discussed issue.
"There is long history of science-fiction writers painting correct visions of, at the time seemingly impossible future."

Science fiction writers tell entertaining lies to amuse their readership. They are generally not really trying to "pain correct visions" of anything, and you are greatly exaggerating the extent they have success in this endeavor, which again, is generally not something they are even trying to accomplish.
In a high k virus like Covid-19 you shouldn't really expect to be able to localize things that well. When the virus first entered France, for instance, there was a chain of individual transmission a half dozen links long before the first super-spreader event. I think a lot of the credibility of the natural origin story is that some farmer or miner in bumfuck Yunan might have been the first to be infected and he spread it to a trucker, who spread it to a wholesaler, who spread it to another trucker, who spread it to the first super-spreader who worked in the Wuhan Seafood market. That a scientist at the WIV might have given it to someone they were buying some meat from at the WIV who then turned into a super-spreader would also be pretty normal.

And yes, if there was a super-spreader event at the WIV of course you're going to be able to find viruses on lots of surfaces like the animal stalls.

That we knew what viruses the WIV was working on was why back in early 2020 I was very skeptical of the straightforward lab leak hypothesis. But articles like this one and books like Alina Chan's have convinced me that that isn't actually true, we wouldn't necessarily know about them until there were publishable results maybe years down the line and we do have evidence that the genomes of some viruses that they were working on were scrubbed from the records.

Ah, that makes more sense. The byte code is an evolution and not a clean room design, and the focus has always been on remaining as close to the host ISA as possible. We've had several academics work on the verifier and most of the time the solutions allow for more programs to pass, but at the cost of far, far slower program loading (upwards of 30 minutes).

> I don't know what you would do in the case of like, livelock though.

The idea is we never allow this to happen by enforcing your use of locks and memory through helpers. Helpers are really the secret sauce to how we are able to enforce memory barriers, etc. without having the author think about them too much. Helpers are essentially the new syscall layer for the kernel with the advantage that they are far less expensive to add, and there's less complaining when it's later decided they were a bad decision... :) Of course, there will be bugs in eBPF, just as their are bugs in any other part of the kernel that will cause unexpected behavior.

You are right in that a different design might have been easier to verify and less error prone, but I think that eBPF overall has been very robust, and is still far better than what we had with loading kernel modules and letting people do whatever they want, or trying to create really rigid policies through syscalls and exposing internals through VFS.

It's sort of hard to solve right now in the "Will this arbitrary C program work or not" sense, because the underlying toolchain and kernel implementation is evolving. I know there's a userspace verifier. What would be excellent is something like the ability to compile the kernel implementation of the verifier, but in userspace, so you could use it in CI. Does this already work, maybe?

There are two issues with loading - the first is as you described, which is that the verifier sometimes reject programs that clang can build. The second is that sometimes there are issues resolving BTF and fixing up programs to run against the target ABI. Both of these problems are hard to solve and I have personally seen users run into this as a major pain point. It needs improvement. Verification in userland is definitely one way to improve this. No matter what though, the nature of sitting inside the kernel is that it's very hard to keep any sort of userland step in lockstep with the kernel, and so I think this will always be a hard problem to solve.

Yes, except gold, wheat, and coal have inherent value as physical items whereas crypto does not.
I don't know what a plane is in this context.

You can't touch fourier transforms either, but a human brain or a microchip can compute them.
All my friends thought I was crazy when I pointed this out the first time I tried it.
The only reason this happens is because the company doesn't then update the employee's salary to be competitive with their new experience.

Lots of organisations seem to think that if they have to train an employee, then there should be some kind of discount on the salary for that employee. This is totally the wrong way of looking at it.

Training your staff in what you need them to know means that they have a consistent view of the subject, practices, etc. No more "but that's how I've been doing it for 2 years in the last place" or "I taught myself and discovered this way of doing it and I think it's cool". A junior employee who was trained in the exact tech stack you're using is more valuable than a mid (or even senior) who has random experience.

Not to mention, if your employees trust that you'll train them in what they need to know, they're massively less likely to pick technologies based on resume need. And massively more likely to stay with you.
Male chicks are destroyed in commercial poultry operations. But today you can sex the eggs in the hatchery within three days of incubation. AI is also trained to identify and segregate. In a lot of ways, yes..it’s a solved problem. Adoption will take time but we will get there. Also true for turkeys and ducks as male turkey poults and female ducklings are also destroyed in commercial hatcheries.
Yeah, the amount of moralistic tutting and vitriol in this thread is ridiculous. And ironically the same people would complain about moralistic tutting and vitriol.
Based on what they said, no. Not at all.

Great read.
> Depress the clutch as you would in any car, and pull the knob from its secure location out of first gear. Now you will become adrift in the zone known to early Porsche owners as “Neverland” and your quest will be to find second gear. Prepare yourself for a ten-second-or-so adventure. Do not go straight forward with the shift knob, as you will only find Reverse waiting there to mock you with a shriek of high-speed gear teeth machining themselves into round cylinders.

I was confused by this until I searched for "Porsche 914 shift pattern" on Google Images. I guess it's a dog-leg gearbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog-leg_gearbox).
I for one applaud these efforts. Herstory will look at this day as the day when hupersonity took a step into the future. One step for person, a giant leap for personkind!

"He just cut me off" and similar things are often said while driving, in a gender neutral sense.
It’s been quite the opposite for me. I find that the “windows” model of alt-tab quickly breaks down — the number of windows the switcher can comfortably handle is reached and exceeded quite quickly, which then drives me to try to do everything in a couple of maximized windows. The logical separation of applications and windows sidesteps this problem nicely.
