Nope. All physical effects are bounded by the speed of light. (As far as anyone knows, anyway.)

I took their meaning to be that people with undiagnosed health issues which might be hard to diagnose/understand/treat are frequently dismissed as hypochondriacs. The implication being that it’s the assignment of “hypochondriac” by lay people distant from the actual medical situation is the ignorant jump to conclusions, not the people seeking medical attention despite being ignored and dismissed.
The speed of light is the speed of information propagation. Information about the sun disappearing would only reach earth at after c/1AU.
They are. They've just chosen to spend all their speed gains on more optimization passes and static analysis, to produce ever faster outputs than to produce an output faster.

I was a kid during hyperinflation years in Brazil: 80s to early 90s, sometimes higher than 70% a month. To this day I'm very frugal, and I have a strong aversion to having debt of any kind: the only kind of debt I ever had was a mortgage and I paid them off as soon as I possibly could. I can only sleep well at night if I don't owe any money to anyone.

I cannot be sure, but I have this feeling that it is due to my formative years in that kind of environment.

Conservapedia is interestingly stupid, in that it attracted the ire of many communities back in the day who, in addition to raiding it, stuck around and Poe's Law'd their way in.

There was a point where some of the more ridiculous claims were primarily from communities like /b/, seeing how insane they could be before they were called out. But the Conservapedia administration actually took it seriously.
Based on git and gpg. So a *ix programmer has full control and full history. And you can move git bundles to offline systems.

We used it also as a poor man's vault in a small company, you can have different keys in different directories, not giving everybody access to everything.
TBH, I am not a fan of frontend/backend split either: ideally, you'd still be splitting per component/service, so frontend and backend for a single thing could live in the same place: you get the benefit of seeing the API in use with each PR, without the costs of monorepo otherwise.

Most projects start out as monoliths (which is good) and splitting up on this axis is unfortunately very hard/costly.

This is indeed an amazing feature, and good languages copy ideas from each other. I believe C# has had this for years. C++ just got it with C++20 coroutines, though it still takes some work to use since std::generator didn't make it into C++20.

Lest folks think this is a new feature, it was invented by Barbara Liskov in her CLU language, as explained in this 1977 paper: https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~weimerw/2011-6610/reading/liskov... (PDF, see section 4.2.)
One reason is historical baggage and sinergy.

It is easier to just pick an existing library and deal with security flaws, than trying to ramp up an ecosystem from scratch, unless one has the backing of a multinational pumping up development.

I've been following this project but am curious about what are the actual use cases apart from being able to send a portable web site around?

If you're running a production web server you're not really switching OS's often. Something like nginx is battle tested so what would be the benefits of using redbean?

It is a marvelous piece of technology but I am struggling to see the use cases right now.
When I first created it, GitHub did not allow any free private repos (or allowed just one? I forget), so this was an easy way to store small private repos that I didn't want published to the public.
This reminds me of that “todo” I wrote for myself a long time ago. These days processors come with bigger L1,L2, and L3 caches. Would it be possible for a program that works on a tiny bit of data(few KB) to load it all up in the cache and provide ultimate response times?!

Are there any directives to the Operating System to say - “here keep this data in the fastest accessible L[1,2,3] please”?

A minor nitpick:

> The biggest required investments for this are electrification and level boarding. Both have many benefits other than schedule reliability, and are underrated in Europe and even more underrated in the United States.

Neither is underrated in Europe. Both are the norm on new projects, and almost all heavy duty old lines have been upgraded to at least be electrified. However the costs associated are often astronomical ( and might require closing the line for extended periods of time) so for some of the rest it's done piecemeal.

Maybe the "fiscal reality" is that they can use this time to do better things which maybe are also paid better.
Any mechanism which might introduce perturbations into the schedule.

For light-rail transit, shared routes (LRV + automobiles) and traffic signals mean that arrivals are not predictable. Where shared-roadway and dedicated-route segments exist (say, with San Francisco's Muni Metro), hold times must be built in for the dedicated-route travel segments. Train arrivals are highly unpredictable. A level below Muni, on Bart, rush-hour headways through the San Francisco subway are 4 minutes. That's close to the theoretical maximum Alon gives of two minutes.

For conventional heavy rail, boarding / debarking delays, equipment failures, medical emergencies, police activity, level-grade collisions, and other factors, may all lead to service delays.

Signalling matters mostly in that it both doesn't introduce new delays into the system, and that it can compensate for delays originating elsewhere.

Reliability overall, as discussed in the article, is largely based around signalling to manage flows.

I don't see any issue, as long as you consider the time until the system crashes or stops for any other reason rather than the time until the system stops specifically due to a crash.

And note that the Lindy effect is about the expected value (mean). The statement "probably run another T hours without incident" could be interpreted as relating to the median, which is actually a little less than the mean. So the statement should either be "the expected value of the number of hours until the system stops is T", or "the probability of the system running for at least another T hours is a little less than 50%".

If we are being pedantic, git was not designed to host multiple projects in a single repo (otherwise, git would have been a subdirectory in the kernel tree). But tools are made without knowing how they'll be used, and that's ok, so I wouldn't stress on what the purpose for monorepo was, but how it's used and what value it brings.
I cringe every time a senior developer thinks he’s more clever by using an @Annotation, a Jointpoint, and Spring’s Aspect-Oriented Programming to solve issues. Not only it appears in the stacktrace as 10 method calls, but we’ve also forbidden the GOTO, and yet senior developers keep implementing the @COMEFROM [1] instruction. Both slow and impossible to debug.

> why would keep anything on your phone that would incriminate you?

Plenty of things which aren't incriminating nor illegal, most people wouldn't want in the hands of others to peruse at leisure.

And the reason you would keep it on your phone is simple: Properly deleting data, encrypting then exporting it to a cloud storage provider, then reinstalling it on your phone is a massive pain in the ass to everytime you catch a flight.

Not to mention logging out and logging back in of all your services.

Like all things regarding security it comes down to hassle vs reward.

The commercial computer forensics software that Australian Border Force uses to image and scan your devices with retrieves deleted content by default, it searches for logins by default, it alerts them to your social media and does a bunch of stuff that is highly intrusive for the average person suspected of no crime but simply caught up in officers meeting their monthly targets.

> Wayland doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to an improvement over Xorg

Agreed, but it shows no signs of ever achieving that. Yes, it has mixed DPI support, which is not nothing, but that doesn't generally make up for the areas where it doesn't have parity with Xorg and never intends to reach that parity. (Network transparency, screen recording, ...)

> which is hampered by its complexity and reverse compatibility

Users don't care about technical elegance. If and when those things start causing user-visible issues with Xorg then Wayland might get a chance.

Here are 3 concrete examples of everyday tools with special abilities only feasibly installed natively on old linux distros.

1: I use text to speech a lot. For the last 20 years I've use Festival text to speech on linux. Specifically I've used Festival 1.96 because it has support for the best sounding voices, the enhanced Nitech HTS voices. No other voice set, not CMU arctic or any other, sounds as good. Modern distros don't package 1.96 and I can never get it to compile. Nitech HTS don't work in Festival 2.0. There's no other mature local linux text to speech software that sounds decent.

Every time I build a new computer I both survey the Festival 2.x voice sets and other linux TTS software, including any new weird stuff (like google tachotron, etc). I've never been able to replicate the functionality of my old linux install (or get Festival 1.96 compiled on a newer distro). I really would like the same functionality on a newer distro and I spend a lot of time searching and trying. So if you know an answer to this I'd love to hear about it (anyone).

2: It might be possible for me to get GNU Radio 3.6.5 installed on a newer distro but I laugh at the idea of getting all the out of tree modules from that era to compile on a modern distro. It's the norm for GNU Radio modules to be left behind and abilities lost with every minor version.

3: The Python 2.4 software imgSeek which indexes images and allows me to do MS Paintbrush style colored sketches to search for images.

> compelling framework

Sadly no. There are contenders for this that have arisen over the years, but we don’t have a RoR for Haskell yet.

If you’re curious, here is a talk that goes into this problem. It’s very accessible IMO. https://youtu.be/fNpsgTIpODA

To be honest, the compelling reason to learn Haskell for me was so I could engage with various academic literature. I just kept running into things I didn’t understand which were tangential to the topic of the paper, and it seemed like the most straightforward way to solve this was to start with learning Haskell. Once I learned it, I realized I was wrong in my biases, and Haskell is a fantastic tool for normal programming, with some important caveats.

Coming from born in the bay area and fairly deep roots on the west coast.

The post war boom years are a fertile time for cults in California. You had a lot of people who were isolated from their previous communities that were often easy marks for grifter run cults of all sorts. And not just California. But probably less visible in the Midwest with a less dynamic and conservative population.

Also: My definition of a cult is the question what happens when you try to leave?
> Then if the software has been around for one year, the expected value of p is 50%. But if the software has been around for ten years, the expected value of p jumps to 0.5^(1/10) ≈ 93.3%.

This reasoning is incorrect.
You have to take the distribution of p into account.

In a world where almost every software has p=0.5 the software which has been around for 10 years is likely to have been lucky and not to have higher p.
That’s a realization that made me a better programmer.

I think when I was younger, I thought of programming as very open ended. I.e. I wanted to build abstract, general solutions which would be able to handle any future case.

Over time I realized the problem space is mostly quite well defined, and when I started thinking about programming as defining an assembly line for computations my results and time to solution improved.
