"Unlimited" in this sense sounds to me like "Untyped", you can invoke it with unlimited datatypes!

That might be nice for read-only notes, but for notes that I'm going to read sometime down the line, I need structure. Org-mode is great that it enables both structure and free form. And once one gets in the habit of enforcing on himself structure, his notes become clearer to himself months or years down the line when he rereads them.

For writing kernels and profiling, yes, it's pretty nice. But the host-side API is rather unapproachable. There are, like, 20 API calls just for different variants of memory allocation, all inconsistently named. Also, the APIs are almost entirely (but not 100%) C'ish.

In the API wrappers I've written:

I try to address these and some other issues.

We should also remember that NVIDIA artificially prevents its profiling tools from supporting OpenCL kernels - with no good reason.

Interestingly, society agrees with you; for the most part, we don’t grant perpetual rights to a piece of land. Instead we charge property tax to ensure you are doing something productive with it. You have to generate enough free cash flow to pay the taxes or you lose the land.

(A long-time fossil dev here...)

Re. integrated wiki: when i first saw fossil (Christmas break of 2007) two features made it a killer app for me: wiki and hosting as a CGI. The wiki aspect has long since taken a back seat to the so-called "embedded docs" feature, where the docs live in the source tree and become first-class SCM citizens. However fossil is, to the best of my knowledge, still the only SCM which is absolutely trivial to host as a CGI, which means it can be hosted on cheap shared hosters just as easily as it can on one's standalone VPS.

As far as "what comes after git," though: git is the SCM needed by the 0.1% (or fewer) of the largest, most-active FOSS projects. Imagine the Linux kernel source tree if its SCM could not remove dead branches - it would quickly become uncloneable under all of that weight. Fossil is not designed to scale to projects of that size. Fossil is, however, an ideal SCM for that 98%+ of remaining projects which fall into the size categories of personal/small/medium.
> Or is there no “next thing” this time, like when sound came to film?

I have an answer: "not for the time being" - and it's not even about the style itself.

The reason is in the market that creates it: when it comes to anime series at least, they rarely start as such and they're not designed to make money by themselves. Usually the source material comes from printed media - be it a manga or a so-called light novel. Prospective stories are selected and then turned into a single 12-episode season (made at a loss). In the meantime a line of plastic figurines is released becoming the main source of revenue over time along with DVD releases and such because they fetch the highest margins. If the show is successful, more seasons are produced.

Sometimes the source material is a video game. With the rise of mobile gaming some of the more successful titles include a mobile gacha game.

Overall it's a massive factory of content with multiple selection steps along the way - much like a startup scene. Hard to beat such a process.
It's been twenty years. People would have moved on to new jobs, and spread the word with them. Some would have applied for jobs there. After all, non-googlers know a thing or two about their infrastructure, despite being mostly a trade secret.

If nothing else, apparently there are enough of disciples out there that it would be a great way of hiring the right people.

You'd have to believe there is some sort of cabal, completely bent on keeping this enormous advantage to themselves in absolute secrecy, to argue that it is a software development success story.
So you want the up and down arrows actions to move to the next statement instead of line?

Sandboxing itself won't. The way publishers and distributors will implement sandboxing will.

Someone will develop a reasonable, possibly quite open sandboxing technology. That technology goes on to be adopted by one or multiple major publishers. Over the years, anti-cheat and other proprietary detection mechanisms get more and more prevalent within it. Connection to multiplayer servers will no longer be possible without the publisher-provided sandbox. Modding will be more and more restricted until eventually, some form of paid-mods or user-store within the now completely publisher-controlled runtime environment appears.

Call me pessimistic but that's what I gather from my last two decades of gaming with highlights such as Origin scanning your whole machine, DS shadowbanning people, etc.

Children of the 60s and 70s were probably the last in the UK that could get away with long lunches, client meetings in the pub and no work Friday's. I worked in IT sales and marketing in my twenties and saw this quite often and it was only until I started working at places where things were more 'agile' that a tee-total culture kicked in.
My main headache with git — which is absent from the list in the blog – is that it tracks snapshots instead of tracking changes. It's probably less of an issue for software developers where a "version" is what this all is about — after all, that's what you ship, but if you try to use version control in a context of academic writing or data analysis, it can become very difficult to track individual contributions. All git can do is to compare snapshots and allow you to impose a resemblance causal order onto them (which you can freely manipulate anyway with rebasing, squashing etc.). If your workflow consists of trying out many different ideas and then choosing which of them to keep and which to discard, git can be extremely painful — you either end up with a history that is a complete mess or waste a lot of time rebasing and reorganising the (fake anyway) order of snapshots.

That's why I am exited for tools like Pijul that attempt to actually track changes.
It's fun to see how they refer to semi-classic supercomputers like Clay and Hitachi as the scale, although it doesn't help grasping the speed at all! To be useful (in price of non-cool), it can probably be replaced with today's cheap computers like lower end phones or chromebooks.

Japanese Court Ruling Poised to Make Big Tech Open Up on Algorithms

"How gullible am I for uploading my face to some random data harvester?"
I read the parent comment as questioning the wisdom of relying on a cloud provider (but not specifically AWS, as you indicated) for a global operation life FedEx. Even with service zoning, in extreme cases that provider constitutes a potential single point of failure. Unless FedEx are able to run their core systems on Azure and Oracle‡ then I think the point stands.

It would be interesting to know how Fedex sees the risk/reward equation, and how Azure (for example) compares to a (IBM?) mainframe data centre in terms of reliability and uptime

‡ I'm not sure if there are any cloud neutrality solutions that permit this, but it is possible that FedEx have rolled their own.
My point is that if you want to create a proper server you do the heavy lifting on server, not on client. The second you let the client decide who does what (location / damage / item drop etc etc) you get cheaters that will modify their client to bid their rule. Hence why I consider FromSoftware servers childish.

> It's generally easier to try and force the equation in favor of doing exercise rather than eating well.

That's the first I'm hearing this opinion. I'd expect the opposite. It's definitely the opposite for me, because eating healthy is pleasurable, tasty. I'm a hedonist, so I love eating healthy. I do exercise everyday, with an odd missed day here and there, but much of the exercise is a battle of my will to keep pushing, soaked in sweat. Additionally, for exercise you need to find extra time in a day, whereas with food one way or another you're going to need to do that anyway.

Well, no, but it does have "marketing-ware", i.e. features introduced mostly to be able to say: "Oh, we have feature X" - even if the feature does not help performance.
>Trump never was the hard/far right. He just used them

This is a distinction without a difference. If he ran and governed to appease the far right and is beholden to them, then that's sufficient to classify him as such. And, there's a reason he chose to align with this faction in American politics. He didn't flip a coin.

Beyond that, you've trotted out a few traditional social conservative issues as evidence that Trump is not far right, but "far right" means something entirely different than simple social conservatism. For example, it includes traditional right-wing beliefs in social hiearchies, taken to an extreme of ethno-nationalism and frank "fascist-adjacent" beliefs. These beliefs express themselves in far more politically classifying ways, such as immigration policy.

>"Has the GOP base actually moved that much?"

Of course it has, and your very next lines acknowledge it.

First, the group that was unleashed wasn't the base. They were Tea-partiers and Freedom Caucus members who were highly vocal, but in the minority. Trump centered them, lurching the entire party sharply rightward.

If they were the actual base, then Trump would not have had to "destroy the establishment" to empower them.

So, that Trump destroyed the GOP establishment's ability to control these constituents is the smoking gun. The former establishment had held back these impulses among its fringe, which kept the party more moderate. Those former establishment officials who opposed Trump are now beholden to him and the "new base".

Are you suggesting there was zero impact on the party once the establishment was destroyed and formerly constrained constituents were unleashed?
A lot of people responding (in good faith) to the premise of the title but not really engaging with the absolute nonsense points made within it.

Aside from it all being very vague, it struck me these are high level concepts and keywords the author seemed to have gleaned from experience working with knowledgeable peers but never quite grokked themselves. So it surprised me to read their open-source maintainer experience about page (though the professional experience being in Google does fit my original assumption).

> Atomicity accross projects

Git repos are as atomic as you make them. Github is not a defacto monorepo. The only people likely to use it as such are monorepo aficionados (Googlers?) who are deliberately avoiding atomicity. Also, Github isn't Git.

> Package management

Package managers already use checksums. This entire point is just wrong and ignorant. Reproducible builds would be nice here, sure, but outside of a few weird exceptions in dynamic builds we already have what the author wants here.

This would be great but... the author is an engineer right. How much have they thought about this? This would be a gargantuan undertaking. An awesome feature no doubt, but the maintenance effort...

> Merge queue data structure

The body of this bullet doesn't relate to the heading. I guess they're talking about how in-progress merges are stored on the FS but how would that impact testing (which the author rightfully points out is unrelated to VCS). What? This is just mashing unrelated jargon keywords together.

> How is large file support?

Fossil is, because of its sqlite dependency, limited to blobs no larger than 2GB each. Some of its algorithms require keeping two versions of a file in memory at once, so "stupidly huge" blobs are not something it's ideal for. Fossil is designed for SCM'ing source code, and source code never gets anywhere near 2GB per file. The only projects which use such files seem to be (based on fossil forum traffic) high-end games and similar media-heavy/media-centric projects which fossil is not designed for.

> What strategy is employed for binary file handling?

That's a vague question, so here's a vague answer: it handles binaries just fine and can delta them just fine. It cannot do automatic merging of binary files which have been edited concurrently by 2+ users because doing so requires file-format-specific logic. (AFAIK _no_ SCM can merge (as opposed to delta) binaries of any sort.)
Mainframes themselves are extremely reliable. When configured as a cluster they get five nines. I'd say a power or communications failure is much more likely than mainframe downtime.

With cloud you can rely on more datacenters and, if your application is built right, it may end up being more resilient than what a mainframe setup would give you.

Downtime is a fuzzy thing. Whenever possible, I design my apps for graceful degradation - if the database becomes read-only, we can still operate in degraded mode. If we lose queues, some things will not work, but others will continue normally and many users will be completely oblivious to the alarm bells at the NOC (just kidding, there's no such thing). My SLA for full operation is much more relaxed than for degraded operation.
One example I remember is that music players used to require reading the phone status in order to be able to pause playback during a call. I think these days you can mostly get by using the audio focus APIs instead, but historically that wasn't the case.

Fedex will continue to charge as much as they can to boost their profits. This move will increase their profits, making $1.50 on each of 100 million deliveries instead of $1, boosting profits from $100m to $150m

However if they were to undercut UPS and others they might be able snap up UPS business, dropping the profit to $1, but on 200 million deliveries, and thus they'll make $200m instead, you the customer will have a cheaper delivery, and everybody wins
This passage caught my attention:

He proceeds just as deliberately when doing mathematics. Wang was shocked when he first witnessed it. “I have this math competition experience, that as a mathematician you have to be clever, you have to be fast,” he said. “But June is the opposite. … If you talk to him for five minutes about some calculus problem, you’d think this guy wouldn’t pass a qualifying exam. He’s very slow.” So slow, in fact, that at first Wang thought they were wasting a lot of time on easy problems they already understood. But then he realized that Huh was learning even seemingly simple concepts in a much deeper way — and in precisely the way that would later prove useful.

Having gone through the American education system, I felt like I was in a factory being evaluated as a potential end product. Steamroll through as much material as quickly as possible. Optimize behavioral patterns for the next performance metric. Rinse and repeat. Is this really the best system we can come up with? Can the pace of mathematical and scientific advancement be optimized by steamrollers? I wonder how much potential we've missed as a society because the education system has been trying to force everyone through the same hole, and destroying intellectual curiosity in the process.

Personally, my experience with this educational system turned me off from "math." It was only much later in life when I learnt that the mindless algorithms that I had to personally execute for years on end to get into university could barely be considered math at all. Only then could I begin to appreciate how elegant real math could be. And I doubt I'm alone in my experience.

> VI. Personal Data

> Keep this part of the résumé brief. Give the date of your birth, your height and weight, your marital status, and the number of your dependents. Mention the state if your health.

Or, at https://archive.org/details/jobresumeshowtow0000bieg/page/14... from "Job resumes : how to write them, how to present them, preparing for interviews", 1976:

> Height is mentioned, and weight, too, but weight is perhaps a more significant item. Obesity may suggest glandular malfunctioning, lack of physical agility, and in some cases ungainly appearance. If you are of normal weight for your age and height, state it. If too thin or too heavy, omit this item with the hope that during the interview, your other fine personal and professional qualifications will more than make up for this physical shortcoming. Use your best judgment here, as you would in the case of a physical disability. Briefly state the condition of your health. If it’s excellent, say so. You may even want to indicate the date of your last medical checkup.

It says salary is an optional item, usually omitted. The example resumes towards the end show many with height/weight/age/marital status but none with current salary.

In the export destinations like Greece. For Germans it means supressed wages because they have to compete against Greek wages which means Germany has to sacrifice its productivity gains to provide low priced goods, effectively giving those productivity gains away for free the moment the export destination country predictably must go bankrupt.

Hi! Even so, if you want to compare Ninja with Beast, Beast has much more user-friendly. Ninja itself claims that build.ninja files are not supposed to be written by humans (since they are not always easy to write). But Beast is super friendly here.

Moreover, the benchmarking I'm doing currently (with the Nimble release) shows that not only Beast matches Ninja's speeds, it overtakes it for different configurations and parallelism levels.

Right now it is not supported for Windows. If you have any contribution that can help in this direction they are more than welcome :)

I will surely check out your repository!
