There are downsides but it’s an improvement on balance. I use both extensively.
I never said Javid was a racist, I said the policy to deport black and brown refugees to Rwanda, while not treating Ukrainian refugees the same way was racist. This should be self-evident by just looking at the facts.

You’re making another false equivalence with Bangladesh when Begum was born and raised in the U.K. and had never been to Bangladesh. And then trying to use that in bad faith to insinuate things I never said.
If it’s a laptop battery life should be the first thing to compare. The ability to be anywhere and not worry about battery life seems like THE #1 most important aspect.

> With majority rule (size TBD) a handful of countries will ride roughshod over others. Enjoy centrally set tax rates

The currently discussed quorum is 55% of the EU countries representing at least 65% of the EU population. There's a neat voting calculator here https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/council-eu/voting-system/... where you can figure out how majorities could work or be blocked. It's a pretty reasonable voting mechanism where small countries can block the vote if they group up, but also larger countries with substantial share of the population can as well.

Fact remains that larger countries with larger populations carry a larger weight - but individual countries can't hold the EU hostage any longer (Even Germany with the largest population share can't block a vote alone)

Also, the EU doesn't set taxes. It requires some minimum on specific taxes to prevent a race to the bottom (corporate taxes), but pretty much all taxes are set by the states.

>>> NetHack benefits ‘strategic’ play — good play often involves executing a series of actions with a well-defined, expressible sub-objective, eg: “Find Sokoban” or “Apply a Unicorn Horn to Cure Poison”. Symbolic bots found it easy to define ‘strategy’-like subroutines and to decide when to deploy them based on rich, human-legible representations of the game state.

This feels akin to Classic Game AI vs Modern AI debates that happen all the time. And even in 2022, with desktop GPU capabilities nearing supercomputing levels, it feels like rules-based, goal-oriented planning still dominates NPC & Enemy AI in games. The question really becomes, why did symbolic ai research die when it's so effective at specialization? Rather, the research obsession is solving generalization. And the problems always seem to stem around the black box itself, the lack of "human-legible representations" of its latent spaces ;)
Probably, but I haven't done that stuff in over 5 years.

We tended to use clang/llvm.

I know that we often had to actively work against the native optimizations.

We had a team from Intel, that used to run these awesome tools on our code, and helped us to see a lot of these weird dichotomies.
Your covering-one-eye thing works particularly nicely if you use it in a place where you can see the tops of lots of trees at various distances overlapping each other. Cover one eye and suddenly all those canopies become one depthless blob, like it's one gigantic treetop.

It sounds like you might be interested in experiments with deliberately redirecting your eyes. There's lots of interesting phenomena you can achieve by pointing one eye at one thing and another eye at another thing. Here's a paper of mine which can serve as a sort of stepping stone into this wide unexplored field: https://philpapers.org/archive/ALEDSK.pdf
I didn't even get really good until I was in my early 30s, after 20 years of coding. The fact that you've been coding already means that - if you keep the humble attitude and keep learning - you'll have no problem.

The ability to learn and adapt - to be able to dig into problems and understand them, filling knowledge gaps as you go - is what you need to be a good engineer. Looks like you have that.
> Yes, you must forgive me for thinking that principles and promises are worth sticking to. I should be as cynical as politicians and simply go by what is convenient, right?

I may have significant input on a green field project, which is generically a web use case, but performance will be a factor. I'm interested in pitching it, as I know other teammates will be be, but none of us are particularly skilled in writing Rust. For instance, the largest thing I've written is still half baked which happens to be a basic REST API for a personal project. I have only begun to see some of the benefits you explain in your article.

I'm curious if you feel that it's necessary to have an "expert" or experienced Rust developer on the team for it to be the technology of choice; or do you think Rust has sufficient guard rails for a team with basic understanding of mature packages and overall senior experience? The reason I ask is because I've known several teams pick up Go because of their interest in it, ultimately being happy with the choice, but have strong opinions about their initial implementations.

Perhaps that's just the nature of software, but I would love your opinion.

The former. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination

A tiny town is unlikely to be able to maintain itself as an independent state. A province can definitely vote to be independent, which has often happened, and has often been blocked by the parent country, peacefully or otherwise.
In my experience it's the opposite problem. Advocating for modern development practices or languages (even unit testing, let alone Rust) for embedded projects is hard work. Most new embedded projects, even today, are written in C or C++.

Or a reorg happens and you land a shitty manager.

To be fair, almost all my managers were amazing, people who truly cared about their staff: at professional level as well as a personal level.

I've only had one absolute psychopath as a manager ... but I should thank him because he was the last straw and gave me enough courage (and anger) to leave AWS and start my journey as a solo entrepreneur.
It's also the only acceptable. I've tried every available other 'knock-off', too. They were bad. No matter if green, or red capped. I guess they were too old, and have gone bad on the shelf. Realized that much later, when I had a small, almost empty bottle of the Flying Goose stuff, and the last of it tasted bad the same way the others did. Also smell, nothing strong, but noticable, once you know it. I don't know how to put this exactly. An 'empty' sting? Feeling hot and sharp, without being spicy? More like tear-gas? Just numbing without taste?

That sounds to me like a strong argument for any new startups founded by people in your area being remote-first.
I mean, has the war in Ukraine not shown that having a strong defense is necessary, even in Europe? If you're trying to point out that there hasn't been a war in the EU while it's been under America's security cordon, point well made.

Point taken on Iran, I understand that was annoying from the EU perspective and potentially an overplay of America's hand; but I guess I just think that if the EU and the U.S. aren't tightly aligned it will open up more potential activities from China who has shown themselves over and over to be significantly worse "partners" than America.

I don't think blaming the refugee wave on the U.S. is fair, there were a lot more factors at play than just countries unable to achieve a dollar peg, besides wasn't a huge amount of the turmoil (at least politically) from the Syrian refugee crisis, not N. Africa?

> All in all I do think there's countless opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation and alignment between the US and EU but hell don't act like the US is some saint who never acts in it's own interest. At least with China nobody pretends.

Of course the U.S. isn't a saint, but it is a country that does actually try to have some values in its engagements. Does it fail constantly or make deals that I think are awful and work with terrible people? Absolutely, such is geopolitics (although we do often have unforced errors there). But it's such a funny way to equivocate-- America does some bad things but is hypocritical but China is just absolutely terrible and has no qualms about it so both are bad? That makes no sense to me.

It's also with westminsters powers to just ignore SNP requests for a ref.

But at some point, if UK wants to maintain it's pretence of being a defender of sovreignty and democracy, then it will need to allow scotland to hold a second referendum on terms of it's own devising. Not westminsters.
There is another weird effect I found. When I cut this stuff out of my life. It was as if I could suddenly notice a lot more of it. But oddly I notice when I am being drawn in. Was I that bad before? Am I just noticing it now? I find myself tuning out everything around me to look at 'that thing'.

My parents are amused that I have cable tv but have not even plugged the boxes in. It was part of the rental I currently have. There is most certainly more commercials there no today too. Average length of show has over the past 30 years dropped by at least 5 mins per 30 mins. They even squash out the credits to get more commercials in, with overlays for more.

But recently I have started to think of these people as thieves of my time. They are monetizing my time, my location, my browsing habits. All so they can sell a square of internet to someone else to sell me shoes. Done in milliseconds. With the hope that I will click on it and buy something.

There are times I want to be advertised to. When I am looking for something. I used to buy computer shopper just for that very reason. But at all other times it is like they have leached on to us and are always vying for that small splinter of time. But there are so many they consume more than I like.

What’s wrong with Rwanda?

From the point of view of Africans, we see this as a Rwanda led initiative to take care of refugees in a country that is safe, and in an environment that is closer to their homelands. Although in the past Rwanda has had is troubles but … so did Ireland and the UK on different scale. Rwanda of today is a different place, and the current president has long experience in handling refugee situations and defusing the natural tensions of people in a refugee crises.

Is it absolutely necessary for refugees to leave to go to a different continent, to live on an island where they will forever look like an “other” and have a culture and weather that is totally alien to them?

There should be more to this equation than the thought of sending people to the most prosperous country that they can.

HS2 should reduce the journey time by train between Glasgow and Edinburgh to London by 49 and 31 minutes, respectively. That's decent, almost as much as the saving for Manchester (50m).

Edinburgh and Glasgow to London are the most common domestic flights in Britain. (Belfast does have more.)
Why would the ethnicity or sex matter when these HR managers would still see the same differences regardless of ethnicity or sex?

Many lawyers have to religiously time track everything. Because hours attributable to a specific client are billed and billable hours are where the revenue comes from.
It’s normal for the high court to side with the government in these cases only for them to be overturned on appeal. That’s not my opinion, that’s the experience of immigration lawyers.

So yes, the policy is unlawful _in fact_ but the legal process needs to catch up to that.
Specially since Scots voted to remain in the EU by a wider margin than voted to remain in the UK.

People that run businesses and care about data don't want dashboards, they want spreadsheets. Lately I've been having some success with creating "user friendly" data views in big query and giving out access to them with connected Google sheets. If anyone wants to make a nice graph, pivot table or add their formulas to the workbooks they're free to do so using a tool they're already familiar with. The the data is backed by the database and can update on its own so we're not constantly sending out new versions of exported files.

Calling malloc isn't even manual memory management to me, it's just calling malloc. Writing malloc (not that hard in general! but tricky to get exactly the allocator performance or security properties you want for your use case) is manual memory management.
I think leaving an other very important economic and political union could reasonably well be seen as start of different generation.

The Huy Fong brand though is so widely available in the US. I have even seen it in multiple sections of the grocery store.

Even if not the true Sriracha sauce, there is no way to displace the rooster in the US. I love the Huy Fong brand, at this point the true sauces will just taste different to me. It is basically impossible for them to taste "better" than Huy Fong to me. Maybe this would be different if starting from zero and no expectations but that is not the case.

The shortage will just make the Huy Fong fans want it more in the US.

AFAIK, Vercel middlewares use Cloudflare Workers, which are V8 isolates. Describing that as a “janky JS sandbox” is pretty funny.
I’m new to Rust and partly evaluating it for future projects at a startup, and I think I could definitely see using it selectively where it’s strengths really show. We use Go in that way as well but stick to dynamic languages in other areas. I would hesitate to go all-in on Rust given hiring is already one of the biggest challenges startups will face, but I believe Rust is going to be hugely successful and the pipeline will grow considerably in the coming years.
Most does sound like quite a stretch but to be fair the U.S. has certainly caused some regional issues (e.g. slowing growth by cutting off trade with Iran, electronic surveillance in Europe on allies, pushing EU countries to buy American arms instead of developing domestic industries, pushing for large beneficial trade deals like nuclear plants that benefit American companies). But yes, most does not seem fair either to the U.S. or to Europe which does have some agency.
20? Probably not hugely. 40? Maybe in some aspects of policy. 60? Probably.

But you're talking about Denmark and I know nothing about Danish domestic policies - which is why I was intentionally broad in my wording.

The Overton window is poorly named. It's an irregularly shaped blob rather than a rectangular frame. Some things can move in different directions at different times.

Leaving aside the tendency to want to have love interests in movies, the two women didn't even work in the same place. Margaret Hamilton worked for a subcontractor (one of many) that was not introduced in the series.

> Especially that rail thing, only one third from power plant reaching the locomotive is normal.

Link please. Because that would be a terrible performance figure for a high power system like that. Worst possible loss figures I've been able to find for our grid are 15% losses between the power plant and the plug, and that's including the losses in low-voltage distribution (400 V 50 Hz three-phase). Modern rail runs at 25 kV/50 Hz single-phase. 66% losses would be mind-boggling. As per [1], the expected losses for powering 25 kV rail are around 7% including conversion between transmission lines and the traction lines. So even including losses between the power plant and the conversion substation, they should definitely be significantly below 20%.

Even at these prices I still think a provincial park is the best value for what you get. The park will be your entertainment for a full day, as it most likely has access to water for swimming, or places to hike. Unlike a cheaper private campsite.

Also, I personally had a really crappy experience staying at a private campsite before in Northern Ontario. Got yelled at for starting a fire after 11 pm, and subsequently followed around, including when I went to the bathroom. The campsite was run by mennonites, but it felt like I was on some cult's compound. Cameras everywhere and people walking behind you with walkie talkies.
And it wasn't even that much cheaper and had to pay for showers.
That last sentence is completely incorrect and is enough for me to safely disregard everything else you just said on the basis you don’t actually know what you’re talking about.
Then it wouldn't be Nethack.

Nethack is not a game where the dice are fair. Nethack is a game where the phase of the moon has real influence.

Nethack is, though not originally designed for that purpose, a game which encourages players to learn to read the source code and familiarize themselves with text files, editing, and searching.

You could build a nice first-year CS class around Nethack, taking people from "this is a fun game" to "I have a tenuous grasp on programming" in a semester.

TLDR: https://twitter.com/jorandirkgreef/status/153231416960472678...

You can see that, for those block sizes, the throughput of O_DSYNC is the same as F_NOCACHE, e.g. 3121 MiB/s vs 52.05 MiB/s for libuv's durable fdatasync() which is really actually using fcntl(F_FULLFSYNC) under the hood here.

In other words, O_DSYNC is only going as far as the disk's own internal cache. It's giving nearly the same performance as a buffered write.

So the reason it is “completely broken” and not simply “broken” then, is that setting the O_DSYNC bit provides no durability at all. It's a no-op.

Also, to be fair, if you're familiar with the space, it's been known for some time that Apple's fsync() is not durable—it's not like this is coming out of left field. What's new here, is that O_SYNC/O_DSYNC have the same issue. That's why we're awarding the bounty.
