We use it for some of our tools, so it's possible (and works nicely). Our LSP server was initially written in Toit: https://github.com/toitlang/toit/tree/master/tools/lsp/serve...
(To be fair, it uses the compiler underneath for analyzing the sources).

Main restriction is, that we haven't finished the Windows implementation yet. Specifically networking and spawning processes only works on Linux/macOS so far. (The main reason we ported the LSP server to Go).

The `host` package (https://pkg.toit.io/package/github.com%2Ftoitlang%2Fpkg-host...) provides some functionality for running things on the desktop.

How much broken car window glass have you seen in SF, vs other cities? It’s easily the top for me, by far.

How many times have you personally seen someone shooting up on the sidewalk, or shitting on it, vs other cities? San Francisco takes the cake here vs any other city I’ve seen, in the US or abroad.

It should be removed as an option, but in-application proxy leaks are also common. Application developers are typically not security experts, and built-in proxy implementations are frequently ancient or poorly implemented. Anyone very worried about privacy should be encouraged to use an audited modern alternative that tunnels all traffic from an interface or VM.
My favourite modern intermodal baggage transport is in Japan.

They have a small number of specialist baggage couriers called Takuhaibin (宅配便). These couriers will take your bags between any two destinations of your choice (Hotel-Hotel,Hotel-Airport etc.) for a reasonable fee. The pick-up and destination can (basically) be anything in Japan with a postal address.

Its not true check-through as you still have to pick up your bags from the counter landside at the airport and take them to the check-in counter but the distance is minimal since you'll already be in the right terminal and on the right floor.

(Technically for the pedants out there, Takuhaibin are also a general parcel company too. But unlike, say UPS or FedEx, a Takuhaibin will take your baggage, your furniture, your clothes or pretty much anything else as long as its safe and legal)

Small question, what are the use cases? From what I understand (I might be wrong), distributed actors is a way to distribute your actors on multiple computers. And again, from what I understand, Swift is mostly used for stuff that runs on one computer, usually an Apple device. To me, distributed actors is something that you need when you build backend stuff. Is Apple planning to use Swift for their backends? Or are they trying to push more the language in general? I can find a bit more information here (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...):

> With distributed actors, we acknowledge that the world we live in is increasingly built around distributed systems, and that we should provide developers with better tools to work within those environments. We aim to simplify and push the state-of-the-art for distributed systems programming in Swift as we did with concurrent programming with local actors and Swift’s structured concurrency approach embedded in the language.

But this seems like a "it's a good thing to have" rather than "we need this to do that". This is not to question the choice to add those to Swift, I'm just curious about the use cases. I've done a bit of Swift and I like the language a lot. If this means that we'll see more Swift on the backend, I'm excited for it.

Code Breaker
Ok, I'll ask the obvious. Why is OpenBSD trying to maintain a list of IATA airport codes?

(And before you ask why not, try to think of some answers yourself first. I can come up with a few drawbacks, though I'm nowhere close to a subject expert.)
This is a tiny bit out of date, but the costs have not changed much from what I can see. Also, for a point of comparison:

Azure AWS
CPU core / month $40.32 $34.56
GB ram / month $10.00 $8.64
GB logs $2.30 $0.53

So it seems that for the "latest gen" VMs currently available, Azure does charge a little bit of a price premium over AWS, but it's not a massive difference. Also, costs have gone up but it's roughly in line with inflation. Also note that 2022 era CPUs are somewhat faster than 2019 era CPUs, so you get more for your money.

The biggest difference between the two biggest cloud providers I've noticed is Azure Log Analytics versus AWS CloudWatch logs.

Azure's logs are nearly 5x as expensive as AWS to ingest, and AWS is already overpriced in my opinion. Charging $542 to keep 1TB of logs for a month is insane, because they're stored in a compressed columnar format and aren't actually that big on disk. Azure's $2,350 for a TB of logs is highway robbery and makes it impossibly expensive to use many of their dependent services in the way they are supposed to be used. For example, ingesting all web logs can cost more than the web server being monitored! Similarly, their SIEM security product Sentinel is stupidly expensive if you enable all of the data feeds it supports. Think 5 or 6 figure sums per month.

PS: Another thing that catches people out when designing cloud solutions is disks are typically "fully allocated". If you pre-provision an empty 1 TB disk, you're charged for the full terabyte, not your current usage of it. This is not what VMware vSphere does (typically), so many people simply ask for 1, 2, or even 4 TB disks, put 20 megabytes of application code into them, and then they're unaware that they're overpaying for storage by a factor of 50,000x or more.
Developers are categorized as people with commit access to the project. So contributing patches itself is not enough to add entries to this specific file.
AWS is overrated. Most of the engineers and managers choose it because it's a safe choice for them. But in the long term the costs rise and you can't get away from it. I would even argue it's only for those who are afraid of command line.

> For the same reason my lower back hurt so much before they turned 1. I held their hands and we practiced walking for hours upon hours.

I’m sorry to call you out on this but that is very much not a good thing to do. The mind is much more plastic so one can probably start teaching very advanced subject to their child soon, but the body does need plenty of support strength before it will be able to hold itself up, and holding hands is shown to not be too good for the child. Nonetheless, not ideal is far from harmful, so don’t worry, I’m sure they are wonderful children.
How many of those 12-15% are actually unable to get an ID as opposed to "can't be bothered/don't need it"?
An ID requirement would get some of those to get one - if they wanted to vote.

And how does the voter turnout look for those groups anyway?
The only people who might be impacted negatively by ID requirement are those unable (for whatever reason? Why can't there be an easy way to get an ID in the first place?) and actually wanting to vote.
And whatever the valid reason, why isn’t it an import of some official list?
Among my generation? Very much so.

Yeah but the missing point in the reasoning leading to that joke (and theological arguments) is, who created God? If you make the argument that a deity is its own creator and cause, that idea could be applied to the existing physical universe directly.
The complaints about cloud costs vs on-prem often compare apples with pears. Complaining that a machine that "I could buy for $1000" costs like $4000/year on cloud missing an enormous number of costs that people don't consider as well as the reliability/availability that you are paying for. Do it the same on-prem and you need to include the costs for:

* An air-conditioned room + maintenance (this could be very large if you are a big company)
* How many staff at $50-100K per year to look after it
* How to deal with internet reliability - do we need multiple high bandwidth broadband links at $1000+/month?
* Ongoing op-ex costs for failed components.
* Cap-ex replacement of hardware after 2-3 years

The point of the cloud is that these costs are wrapped up in your rental cost so of course it looks high.

If you have the people/skills and need control over exactly how your hardware is provisioned, go on-prem and good luck but plenty of us would rather concentrate on what we are good at and are happy to pay 50-100K per year to a cloud provider to do it for us.
A few comments mention how trivial this must have been to bypass; yes with today's internet, youtube videos, online tutorial, open-source hardware and the ubiquitousness of technology in general, of course this seems trivial.

However, in the context of the 80s, this was far from being trivial; there was no internet, no google. It probably didn't even occur to most people they could try to bypass this, and even if it did, who would they have asked?

This feels relevant: Roger Penrose - Why Did Our Universe Begin? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypjZF6Pdrws

tl;dw: It is well known that the universe expands, tracing this back in time leads to the singularity called the Big Bang. But is it possible to ask for a "before" the beginning of time? What is time? Time is what we measure with clocks. What are clocks? Something that returns to the same state (say, a pendulum, or the earth orbiting around the sun - a "year"). To be able to build a clock you need mass. Only objects with mass, moving below the speed of light, experience time. In the very far future, after all stars have burned out, the only objects remaining will be black holes. Eventually, even they will decay due to Hawking radiation. So in the end, there will be only expanding space, and radiation that "travels to infinity". Photons themselves do not experience time as they move with the speed of light. Without mass, without anything that has a notion of time, the concept of distance becomes meaningless. The universe will become spacelike. Without distances, the universe may as well be a singular point. Like the Big Bang :)
It means m^(1+eps) for arbitrarily small positive constant epsilon. So you can make it run in time O(m^1.1) but also in time O(m^1.00000001), where the latter will presumably have a larger constant implied by the O().
The technical reason you can make eps arbitrarily small is that it represent a function of m that tends to 0 as m tends to infinity.

> Streaming services wouldn't exist without DRM.

It's not like radio or TV have any DRM. I used to copy to tape movies and songs I liked all the time. Later we had TiVo &c to automate the process. The push for DRM just makes piracy stronger.

Or as a contemporary example, Steam's DRM is about as effective as a sticky note saying "please do not copy", lots of games on the platform don't even have any DRM. Some of the most financially successful games launched without DRM, e.g. Sekiro and Elden Ring. Stores like itch.io, humble bundle, gog don't have DRM either.

The only ones actually profiting from DRM are the DRM makers.
Thanks for pointing it out — yes, using “nobody” is exaggerating and I’ve edited it.

Note that I’m not demanding anything. Or complaining that it isn’t fixed. How could I? The person developing it, may have their reasons which I don’t know about.

However I am pointing out the issue, because there are more secure alternatives out there, if privacy is what you value.
I'd like to see more research into electrical self-testing.

For example, wire bonds on an IC can be tested by injecting 100 GHz+ signals through the bond and looking at reflections.

Every IC could be designed to do that on every pin (IO and power), which would test everything external to the IC, and some internal IC components like pin drive MOSFETs.

The resulting data can be checked for similarity to 'master' data of known-good units, or even simulations.

This could happen once in the factory, or even potentially on every power up when the device is in the field.
This is why San Francisco is terrible. The people there refuse to admit basic problems, staring them right in the face.
> If we deleted DRM, streaming services would cease to exist overnight

I don't think that's true. But assuming it is true, then yeah, I'm in! I'm sure people would find other enjoyable activities that would be DRM-free, we would be fine.

There would not be this social pressure / expectation to use or subscribe to these DRM encumbered platforms (or that you, at least, have access to all movies or series at any time) when you invite people over.

They pestered me with this for a while and I kept closing the app. Eventually, they asked me for just my age instead. I stupidly provided my real age, but I wish I'd tried to make something up.

Apropos musical instruments with a story: I've recently listened a lot to an album called "The Unfinished Violin" by the English folk musician Sam Sweeney. One of the rare good Spotify recommendations I've gotten in later years. Anyway, I wondered about the name, so I looked it up.

It turns out the violin he performs on was made by a young violin maker called Richard Howard, but never assembled by him: he was drafted for WW1, and died in 1917 at the battle of Messines.

I think that's the kind of history that matters, that adds a certain context to the music. To everyone in this thread saying the history of a thing doesn't matter: if something like that doesn't matter, what does?
Or sometimes it's just a bus stop, in a car park, with perhaps a small portaloo and a hot dog stand.

According to [0] "Airport of Rosenheim is the most important airport of Rosenheim, Germany. It is modern and one of the largest airport of the Europe. Airport of Rosenheim is important for people and goverment of Germany." But actually it's just a lonely bus stop in a car park just off the motorway.

The fact that you are evading surveillance will get you in trouble, on top of that false conclusions about what you were doing could be made. Maybe you were browsing academic content from Iran an example, you get in trouble for using it but also for browsing anti-islam content which you can't disprove but your accusers can make arbitrary false claims by correlating things about you with your evasive actions. Plausible deniability means generation of forensic evidence that serves as a cover. In my example it would be generating traffic that decrypts as harmless content or using stego to hide the real content inside cover content. And bundling the software as a feature of some other browser or extension that has other purposes that allow you to say "I just installed a pdf converter extension, I didn't know it let me read wikipedia with homomorphic crypto as well".

Censorship: "the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security."

This is bad, but it's really not censorship in the same sense that China censors Tiananmen Square, etc. You can talk about the NHL game, write about it in the news, share screenshots, teach it in school, upload an animated recreation on Youtube...

'Illegal' streaming services are legal for private use where I live. In German there is a huge market with many sites featuring basically any movie in different quality settings. I have an adblock, no idea which kind of evil ads they usually use. With Kodi I also have all of that on my TV available just as easy as Netflix.

However many if not most people still use Netflix even thought they have no real reason to.

Every big electronics shop will have a failure team with an electron microscope able to decap any faulty chip and figure out which mosfet has blown up.

Sure, larger socioeconomic problems will definitely turn up in statistics, because it turns out that being gifted heavily relies on parental model, and many many other things. Even a very motivated child will fail to partake in such a problem if he/she has serious problems at home, e.g. being beaten, having to work to support the family, etc.

But I feel it is very unfair, outright evil to take away an opportunity from gifted people (both from privileged families and a few from very bad families that would have been lifted up by said programs!! The aforementioned example could perhaps break the cycle and get a much much better life than any of his/her relatives) on the basis that the statistics on the enrolled will be biased. It is not the task of such a small-scale program to solve a huge, complex problem that probably can only be solved in decades if ever.
