> If I recall correctly, DPDK abstractions themselves cost a bit of NIC performance, so it might be interesting to see a comparison including a raw NIC-specific kernel bypass framework (like the SolarFlare one).

DPDK performs fairly well, even better for the most part. For some years I maintained a modification of the ixgbe kernel driver for Intel NICs that allowed us to perform high-performance traffic capture. We finally moved to DPDK once it was stable enough and we had the need to support more NICs, and in our comparisons we didn't see a performance hit.

Maybe manufacturer-made drivers can be better than DPDK, but if I had to guess that would be not because of the abstractions but because of the knowledge of the NIC architecture and parameters. I remember when we tried to do a PoC of a Mellanox driver modification and a lot of the work to get high performance was understanding the NIC options and tweaking them to get the most for our use case.
I was going to ask, isn't there some information exchange going on to determine what codecs can be used?
In economics there is a concept called "search costs." And those costs need to be compensated if you want to encourage searching. But, of course, as you said, such compensation should not be in perpetuity. A patent, in this sense, is infinitely more reasonable than a land title as currently conceived.
For you to enjoy using this tool you had to change the model your brain use, and you call that good UX? And using aliases means that your git is now different from you co-workers git. And when teaching the new guys you throw all these aliases at them that they have no idea what is or how work?
What exactly is your point here? Console games need (mostly the same kind of) netcode as well. They are just generally harder to exploit, which dramatically lowers the amount of people trying to do so.

They are capable of writing a netcode that is good enough for an environment where it is relatively safe due to the restrictions of the devices it runs on but not for any true open environment. - So they just write bad netcode, that's all.
Sorry for hijacking the comment. This is not specifically for you. I think all people should try to adopt instead of procreating. Having child by procreation is kind of selfish if you think, the child never asked for it, but we are forcing them to exist and go though all the problems of life. Bringing them to consciousness just to satisfy our needs and goals. Nobody reproduces by thinking anything beneficial for the child. There is also uncertain future now.

By contrast, there are plenty of kids who are alone and would be grateful if someone gives the the love of parents. There are already here, no need to bring more. Why is having shared genes is necessary if you just want to love a child?
Why people downvote mere facts plus an assumption?

Prices still seem ridiculous to me, though. At my last dental visit they wanted to charge me $87 for someone to spend 15 seconds with a q-tip applying fluoride to my teeth. And this wasn't a case of "charge as much as the insurance will pay", as this would have been something not covered by my insurance.

Maybe that's less than what a similar (non-dental) medical procedure would cost, but that's still excessive.

Naruto and One Piece are both huge in Italy, as were Death Note or GTO when they came out. Plus, there are cult shows that are still loved by a lot of people, such as Lupin III and Dragon Ball which are still frequently aired on national TV.
I think GPGPU is considered difficult because people aren't taught how to do it, and there's very little software support for it outside of esolangs, research projects, and single-person GitHub crusades, or vendor specific stuff like CUDA.

There's other stuff that's difficult too, like farming out a compute workload to a bunch of unreliable servers through unreliable networks, but there's just so much tooling and expertise going around for it, that people do it regularly.
Exists can be very efficient as it allows execution to stop immediately when something is found.
That's great if that works for you. But for me being productive often includes multiple PDF files or editor windows being open and having them all float or just two next to each other just isn't an option. With a tiling wm I can have 4 or 6 windows PDFs open on a single 24" monitor and that works perfectly.

Just let people decide for themselves how to be productive, it's great your work allows you to be productive on two windows, some other people may need more, some less.

I can empathize with the gut reaction, and the title is clickbait-y, but the article does elaborate that it's not the same tired trope of privileged kid drops out of Stanford/MIT/Harvard to become startup billionaire:

> he dropped out of high school to become a poet. It would take a chance encounter during his university years — and many moments of feeling lost — for him to find that mathematics held what he’d been looking for all along.

Having taken a similar path myself -- I dropped out of high school due to a combination of factors, but was still able to get into university 6 months later -- I can empathize with mandatory education NOT being something people fit into, and where making the right career choice isn't always clear or easy.

Not everyone who 'dropped out' did it because of unlimited mom-and-dad-money and boundless professional and social opportunities, nor wears it like a badge of honor.

I get tired of the trope and survivorship bias as well, but in this case it seems like the author did still put in the hard work of learning his niche the traditional way, if in a round-about manner: through a lot of hours of study, personal investment, natural curiosity, and using the abilities he has to the best of his abilities.

Finland got Cartoon Network at 2017, and I'm not sure if anyone paid for cable TV at that point. Back in the day there were lots of European-produced shows that had production outsourced to Japan, but the content was still very European. The anime boom really took off here only at 2000s.
Quality of life is usually better for those who exercise and that becomes particularly evident as people age. But either way it's literally just like a totally false tradeoff - the time I spend with people hasn't been at all compromised by exercising and you can even exercise with other people too (e.g. friends at the gym, beach, going for a run with partner etc.)

I think if you've made the choice to just not exercise you should be honest about why instead of inventing non-problems like exercise significantly reducing time spent with family and friends. I literally don't know anyone who has ever raised this as a problem. Maybe if you're exercising as an Olympic athlete...?
One of the interesting points is that this is about 50 years before Fourier claimed FT was possible.
I can be wrong but from my point of view, open-source has a big advantage over normal business, it's a great community of developers.

Where I live those are two different kinds of vets, with two distinct clienteles. While it's possible to find mixed practices (cattle + pets) in smaller towns, it's typically not the case in larger cities. There's no point in having your practice located downtown if you go to your clients anyway.

The only major problem I see with Git is that it's just a pain if you're working in a gigantic monorepo.

Outside of this, I think it's achieved it's ultimate form and tradeoffs for what it was originally intended to do - and the majority of projects fall under that category, meaning that while Git can be improved, but it doesn't need to 'change' architecturally or philosophically to accommodate other things.

Separate version control software can be designed for solving a specific problem - but I don't think Git should need to evolve beyond the problems it's designed to take on.

Sorry, just noticed your reply.

A lot of people consider it a cute gadget before they tried it and regard as essential safety tool once they did. It certainly depends on your use case - in busy cities it's useless since you'll be alerted to cars constantly. However in my area I ride on countless long stretches of road with little to moderate traffic. Cars will surprise you on these kind of roads. Sometimes you don't hear or notice them.

With the Varia radar I'm much more aware of my surroundings. I can take up the middle of the road until a car approaches. I won't be surprised by cars I fail to hear due to strong winds or other noise. I know when it's safe to slalom around obstacles on the street. Or when to do a left turn (I'd still look but I'm not sure if the radar ever missed a car - it's very reliable). These days I'd feel almost naked without my radar.

Plus, don't forget that it's also a very good rear light which you can control from your head unit. Don't underestimate the importance of daytime lights in order to be noticed by cars - that is the single most important measure to avoid accidents on a bike.

Some interesting excerpts:

There are two PIO blocks with four state machines each.

Each state machine, along with its supporting hardware, occupies approximately the same silicon area as a standard
serial interface block, such as an SPI or I2C controller.

Making state machines programmable in a software-like manner, rather than a fully configurable logic fabric like a CPLD, allows more hardware interfaces to be offered in the same cost and power envelope. This also presents a more familiar programming model, and simpler tool flow, to those who wish to exploit PIO’s full flexibility by programming it
directly, rather than using a premade interface from the PIO library.
Browser origin policies are difficult to use to protect something that listens to an IP address rather than a host due to DNS rebinding. This can happen implicitly if the victim service doesn’t check the host header. This is already a big problem with HTTP but with UDP or raw TCP there is no host header so anything that trusted the network would be broken.

I've switched to using cudaMallocManaged() exclusively. From what I can tell there's isn't much of a performance difference.

In the end reversing is basically poking around and experimenting, but it is very rewarding and will teach you a lot how software work and how easy it is to actually make them bend to your will. Be wary, you'll need lots of free time for this.

This is exactly the reason why I like superhero movies. I go to the cinema to relax, switch off the rationale part of my brain and have fun.

I liked very much the Marvel movies that were fun (Guardians of the Galaxy for instance) and did not rewatch the sad and heavy ones.

It is of course a matter of personal taste. My wife terrorized me a few times into going with her to movies where I either had to take notes to follow the narrative, wonder about the mental sanity of the script writer and the director, wonder whether the movie froze when people were looking at each other for 5 minutes without saying anything, or simply trying to find a comfortable position to sleep.

Some of these movies left a trace, though, but maybe not a very good one (usually Almodóvar movies)

I like the patch-based approach of Pijul and Darcs: rearranging patches seems less fragile than rebasing snapshots.

I'd like to see git's content-based more integrated into projects like IPFS (and for IPFS to get their resource-usage down, so it can be run as a background task on my laptop!)

As for package management, Git and Nix work really well together: e.g. we can use `builtins.fetchGit` to fetch particular commits; and we can `import` Nix definitions from those git commits; and those definitions can fetch other repos, etc. so we get a Merkle tree of the exact code used by all of our dependencies. I also like to write commit IDs as default function arguments, which makes it easy to override any of these dependencies to use another commit.

This pretty much demonstrates the problem most people have with your approach: it isn't about you - it's about the wellbeing of the people you work with.

Also, 'just turn off notifications' isn't a solution. Having to ignore messages from your superior puts people in a very uncomfortable position.

Granted I know very little about you other than the tiny bits of information gathered in this post, so take it with a grain of salt, but I've worked with people exhibiting similar attitudes and it is extremely toxic.
I've never understood this sentiment. We're now in 2022. When working on Linux, especially on desktop versions, most people don't need to use the terminal, ever. You could if you want to, but you don't have to.

Similarly, for most things you don't ever have to touch Git on the command line. There are tons of great interfaces overlaying Git - e.g. Sublime Merge, which can visualize what you're doing, and makes Git significantly "nicer to use". You can still descend into the command line, but for whatever you've described above, you don't have to, and you don't have read manpages for common use cases.

Your problem with Git is not an insurmountable issue - it's about finding the right tool to use Git with, and which is the way moving forward anyway. Consider ffmpeg. It's extremely powerful, and about as arcane as git, and you'd needs just as many manpages or Google searches to understand it. Yet most people just use software that overlays all the magical conversions that ffmpeg enables - and no one has to see or blame ffmpeg per se. The scenario should be similar with Git, I hazard.

> Every time I use Git, I see how bad the UX is and marvel at how it ever became popular.

Did you see what came before? Git isn't popular because of its UI, it's popular despite its UI. It's considered worth it because of its distributed model and speed.

Having said that, I've used magit pretty much from the start and can't understand people who don't switch to a better UI eventually. I don't think a command line UI works well for it at all.
