Right, so you basically have to replay nearly the entire history of Rust versions since 1.54 (that’s what, 6 or 7 stages?) to bootstrap. Compare this to Go, where there is a stable version of Go 1.4 for bootstrapping, and the current Go 1.18 compiles on it, as opposed to only the previous version of Rust in rustc, so 2 stages, or Zig which can be bootstrapped in a single phase, I believe. That is what I call lack of stability.
Yes, but you don’t get access to the update repositories which is what you want to keep the system secure.

I've got pretty bad - although not constant - tinnitus in my left ear after a particularly loud NYE too late in life.

What I find interesting though, is that I distinctly remember as a young kid living in the countryside that I found it impossible to hear absolute silence. I distinctly remember sitting on a bale of hay on a bright summer's day with not even a breeze and the quieter I perceived things, the louder a 'TV-like wheeee' noise (as I knew it at the time) became to fill the void. I always thought I had a special talent for being able to tell when a TV (CRT) was on anywhere in the hosue, as I could hear its high pitched whirr.

Now as an occasional sufferer of fairly bad tinnitus, I often wonder what any of the above means, as there's surely something in it.

Only coping strategy I have is to not fixate on it, whereupon it dies down. That's tricky those times it crops up at nighttime and I'm staring at the ceiling at 4am trying desperately to get back to sleep... .
If a non-zero number of people thought it was a good idea to buy it at $60 a non-zero number of people would sell it at $60. The large number of actors each trying to outsmart each other acts as a dynamic value-setting strategy.

I have not said, that it is impossible to have a stable grid based on nuclear power, I have pointed out the problems if you have mainly renewables and try to support them with nuclear power. France has only a little amount of renewables, so the grid is mostly tuned towards nuclear plus water and gas for short term fluctuations. France doesn't have any plans laid out what to do, when their aging fleet of nuclear powers would need to be replaced. For now, they are just prolonging the run times of their existing reactor - only one is currently in construction, but their total count is 58. They just had huge troubles when about 4 reactors had to be taken off grid due to emergency repairs.
This isn't true. They're launched from vehicle-borne platforms:

"in a situation in which philosophy is sutured either onto science or onto politics, certain poets, or rather certain poems, come to occupy the place where ordinarily the properly philosophical strategies of thought are declared."

I've definitely felt this. Or at least at the times when I was young and studying philosophy (in and out of a university phil degree I never finished), the awkward place that philosophy [especially continental philosophy] seats itself in the modern or post-modern era. Many philosophers in the continental tradition write like poets, perhaps with a bit of an obscurantist bent, and vice versa much of poetry reads as philosophy and it's difficult to pinpoint the role either has in the current time.

Many of the continental philosophers are/were clearly interested in producing a great work of art/letters, while pinning down concrete philosophical propositions in their works became more and more difficult. Anglo-American philosophy perhaps went the other direction.

> Landlords are not parasites and provide a valuable service.

Landlords take property that could be owned outright by the resident and extract, at best, a middleman's fee.

Some landlords also provide access to services such as repair, cleaning, etc and combine those fees with the rent, but there is no reason those could not be equally available to owner-residents without the landlord acting as a middleman, and there is nothing inherent in the nature of being a landlord that implies offering such services.

Never noticed the GPU issue (running an M1 MacBook Pro)

But the rental market and home purchase markets as separate markets. There is nothing that says rent has to be more than the cost of ownership. Go to a big city like Toronto and you'll meet plenty of landlords taking a loss each month. And there is nothing that says it has to remain static. Rents can drop while housing prices go up (see SF during Covid).

And in the end, I'm not sure it matters? I've lived in cities where despite being able to afford ownership, I choose to rent. I'm glad to exchange my money for exclusive use of a house that I take no financial risk on, have no obligation to maintain, has only negligible transaction costs and I can walk away from with a months notice. All of those things have intrinsic value to me, some of those being services that I don't have to perform.

I mean, is it unfair when someone rents out their cars on Turo and make a profit each month? Are they "extracting rents"?
But something is seriously wrong with a society where it's impossible to avoid a thing that you consider harmful to yourself just because the larger market prefers it.

It used to be that one of the strengths of our economic system was that you could find something to meet your needs even if your needs weren't the same as the majority.
I was hoping to find out what he thought “thick” and “thin” desires were, but he never bothers defining them. Maybe he talks about them in another essay? But without definitions, this piece is just a catalogue of all the ills of society, justified by some unseen value system. And the title is just wrong, it’s not about the pursuit of thicket desires (whatever those are), it’s about cataloguing society’s pursuit of thin desire (whatever those are). And an advertisement at the end.
> Mongols never invaded India. Even though they reached river Sindh

I agree with you and havent claimed otherwise (quoting myself: Mongols did not really get inside India although there were a few battles where some Mongol generals tested the borders.). Was responding to parent's claim that caste system was an artifact Mongol invasion. Not sure what relevance of them not being Muslims or the scarcity/search for grassland (both true statements) have anything to the topic though.

Perhaps I do not get it, but a big screen never appealed to me. I think of smart TVs as a big screen with a built-in computer, and a laptop as a computer which has a built-in screen. I always thought the laptop is a better bang for the buck.

Perhaps I am missing the point because I do not live in the western world. I have observed my people who moved to the west are into large screen TVs, but I never understood the lure.

> [...] restrict, a C keyword to promise that a given pointer x does not alias any other pointer not derived from x

The author clearly states that restrict is a promise, and then immediately violates that promise. If you lie to the compiler, what do you expect to happen?.

Declaring your pointers "restrict" is a promise from your code to the compiler, not from the compiler to your code.

It seems like the entire rest of the article is based on this misunderstanding, and there are a whole bunch of strong statements and questionable conclusions drawn from it:

> This is bad news. Our optimizations changed program behavior. That must not happen!

> the only possibly suspicious part of the original program is a pointer-integer-pointer round-trip

> while the details of defining “derived from” are nasty, it should be clear that doing a bunch of operations that literally don’t involve x at all cannot by any stretch of the imagination produce a result that is “derived from” x

It's hard for me to make sense of the rest of the business about "provenance" when the problem it's supposed to solve are based on faulty reasoning. The part about casting to integer having side effects doesn't follow either.

I've always liked C, and I'm coming to really like Rust. I hope mistaken arguments like the ones in this article aren't persuasive to anyone in the compiler camps.

As someone who worked for Sun in the 1990s, Solaris will always hold a special place in my memories. It ruled the enterprise UNIX world back then and I never would have imagined back then that it would ever fade into obscurity (as it is doing now).

But I'll spin up Solaris 2.5.1 on my SPARCbook or Solaris 10 on my Blade 1500 whenever I need a nostalgia kick.

On the contrary, the question I was asking is unclear: if, for a given platform, the only reason the wrong political speech shouldn’t be censored by rich and powerful men is because it’s too populous, what’s the difference if the government’s men decide what is too hateful/misinfo for Twitter and newspapers, versus the owners of those? This isn’t a rhetorical question either, I am curious for an answer!

I guess a common answer would be “you can move off Twitter, but you can’t leave your country” which is odd two ways: first, if you say you want hate and misinfo banned from Twitter (whatever those mean) shouldn’t you want that for all other big platforms? And it’s very possible to move abroad while not spreading hate and fake facts in the meantime, isn’t it?
Not sure if I have to pick a side. Usually there's some truth at both ends. :-)

My point is, that chance of USSR-like regime in western Europe are pretty low, and being afraid to do anything, because it might be used by this hypothetical regime will probably cause more harm than good.

For eg. right now we're feeding Russia with money, which is guaranteed to be bad for us in the long run. I assume we are doing that, because it will be easier to find single scapegoat for nuclear plant failure, than for years of bad foreign politics.

Anecdotally it seems much more difficult to get an offsite together in the modern remote office than it was in the old offices. With the new remote world, senior leadership struggles to stay in touch with the general feeling of workers. While this surely results in fewer time wasting pep talks, it also means that the worthwhile activities are also getting side lined.

> providing no service

Being a landlord does provide a service, the service of managing the land and property. I don't want to buy a house right now because I'm not ready yet, so I _want_ landlords to provide properties so that I can have a home without having to go through the process of buying one just to sell it a year or so later.

That said, aside from drinking more beer and working out more, my lifestyle is pretty much the same as my partner’s.

>If I have .75 acres with a single family home and 30 years later the area around me is developed

I think this is exactly the framework. The idea is that that person right now is benefitting from increased community wealth (which would be realized in actual moneys upon sale of their property), and hence, should be taxed more.

Maybe there are some sophisticated ways to strike a balance, to avoid the situation you are describing. For example, people could pay less tax, but then they (or their estate) cannot pocket the capital gain upon sale of their property.

In any case, I think a land tax is much more equitable, because it punishes landholding, rather than punishes improving land. It's the poor use of land right now that I believe is the main driver of poor affordability of housing.
Completely disagree; when it comes to programming (where all tools are infinitely malleable), it’s a poor programmer who puts up with suboptimal tools.
I was thinking about this and even tried to create a product around it. I named it a collaborative marketplace, where people collaborate to make money.

> Landlords take property that could be owned outright by the resident

Why do you assume every resident wants to own their property? When I lived in Baltimore you can be damn sure I didn't want to own anything in that city. There are valid reasons for renting to exist, landlords do provide valuable services, and there are people who do want landlords and renting to exist. It's okay to say you personally don't like landlords without making it seem like they're some kind of demons

A non-linear loss should not be an issue for any modern hearing aid, they are designed specifically to deal with that. I've never seen an audiogram with a complete flat (linear) loss, I'm sure some have it but its not common.

I have a severe sensorineural loss in both ears and wears hearing aids with a lot of success. My loss was the result of some unknown illness when I was younger - a loss resulting from illness or drug reaction tend to present randomly across the frequencies, whereas an age-related loss is almost always a "ski slope" loss, which means the high frequencies are mostly lost and the lowers are mostly fine.

Your experience is very common with new hearing aid users. The aids are able to increase volume at specific frequencies as defined by your hearing test(s) and the other features of the aid, e.g. noise reduction and compression are able to give a great quality of sound. The problem is usually in the person's ability to comprehend these new sounds, i.e. their brain, not their ears. A person with a hearing loss typically takes seven years to try out hearing aids, in those years their brain has got used to not hearing certain frequencies and sounds altogether and it can take time and training to get that ability back.

There is not really a great set of tools for brain training part of the hearing problem at the moment, in my opinion its badly overlooked by the hearing industry.

"The first thing was the remote removed most the buttons, especially the video source button"

This is not a defense of Samsung, but something you can try if you're stuck with it: While the Samsung remotes have slimmed down quite a bit, at least on my TV it still responds to the buttons the old more fully-sized remote controls had. If you get a universal remote and program it for Samsung TVs, you may find you get a lot of the functionality back that your remote is missing.

I can't speak for every year's TV; mine's a few years old now. But you may already have a universal remote just lying around, in which case this is really cheap to try.
