> An enourmous amount of time spent profiling, benchmarking and optimizing things. The answer is different for every part of Bun, but one general theme: Zig's low-level control over memory and lack of hidden control flow makes it much simpler to write fast software.

With modern hardware, accessing memory efficiently is key to writing fast software. Programs written in programming languages that don't let the developer control how data is laid out in memory usually face an uphill battle to be fast.
And by doing so, they painted a massive target on their back. On the EU list, they come just a step under Apple, don't worry.
I wanted to try out the product but needed to provide payment. No bueno.
I almost always choose to do nothing because while saving people is optional, not killing them yourself is mandatory.
No.

I will say that that sounds fragile and non performant but … at the same time, the whole point of our service is to be a “dumb” primitive - in the classic Unix sense.

So, of course this is within our terms and we see plenty of folks doing things like this.
I interpreted it as the passengers would go round in circles for eternity, but not necessarily living passengers. I assumed they would die of hunger and dehydration which seemed less humane than instantaneous death by explosion.
What are these tests really trying to prove though?

90+ degrees C (194 F) for 408 hours is their "lowest" intensity test. That's 17 days of continuous solar radiation for 24 hours per day, which is hardly a consumer grade test.
Old good irc ? At least for some communities that works …
> As for UnityX, i don't think starting from scratch is wise

TBH, I think I agree with you.

There was Unity2D:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity2D

The source is still around.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d

It was built against a now-obsolete version of Qt though. (To be fair it was discontinued a decade ago.) I think Qt 4, but I am not sure.

I have no clue how much work is involved in changing a Qt4 application so that it uses Qt6.

Unity3D was written as a set of plugins for the Compiz window manager, which itself is now discontinued and abandoned by its developer.

https://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2012/12/24/sideways/

Which suggest that Unity would now need a total rewrite to use Mutter or something... which is a substantial task.

I do not know if this applies to Unity2D.

Wasn't git also created by some Finn? He had another, earlier, side project in university I think. Not something big and professional like GNU.
Considering the peculiar genetic projects of the Bene Gesserit and other Dune groups is unnecessary: the real world trend of somewhat aged people looking so good that they can pass as significantly younger (in particular, actors who are credible as younger characters) can be easily and obviously extrapolated to the wealthy nobility of a far future high tech SF setting.

Jessica Atreides at about 40 is supposed to look so extraordinarily youthful that a younger actress like Rebecca Ferguson is needed.
It has? That makes it even funnier to me now.

In the next few years, the majority of new cars (at least, those sold in the EU) will be bloated hybrid SUVs. It's the most cost-efficient way for manufacturers to meet the EU emissions regulations, and apparently will help us transition.

I did not hate Mir, but given that Canonical was attempting to develop so many projects at the same time:

- a conventional PC desktop;

- a mobile device desktop;

- a packaging format;

- a mobile OS for smartphones and tablets.

It seemed foolish to me to work on a new display server as well.

And yet, oddly, while both the desktops, and the mobile OS, are now abandoned by their creator company, the display server is alive and well, and is now being turned into a Wayland compositor.

And of course the package format, too.
There is no need to rethink it; it's never been a good idea to leave it turned on.
Emacs has `thread-first' and `thread-last'.
It doesn't matter what you call it. It doesn't look like a button to the vast majority of non-techies. That makes it a dark pattern.
>Well made luxury cars from old luxury brand with known history.

I laugh whenever I hear someone talking about Tesla, etc, "disrupting" the "legacy auto industry". The "legacy auto industry" (and I'm mostly talking about the German manufacturers) are going to be just fine. After all, they are the backbone of one of the dominant EU member states. Do you really think they are going to be caught by surprise by the mandated transition to EVs?
They can both seem like easy money. For most people they aren't. And there's a very real risk of long-term negative consequences.

Actual law strongly discerns between action and inaction. For example the Polish penal code says you can only be criminally liable for a result of inaction only if you had a specific legal obligation to prevent it.

They're not equal. E.g., if you value the survival of our species, the average woman is worth more than the average man. But if you worry about overpopulation, it's the other way around. These problems are simply too artificial to make any meaningful distinction.
Exact term doesn't work.
Can you elaborate on the naivety? Your view?

I know of some naive people, I know of some cunning people, I know of some extremely high functioning people that have a business plan, I know of some extremely goofy people that don't know what to do with all the money they make, I know of many people with paltry earnings. Many people have multiple of these attributes at once.

I don't think brothel terms are really accurate or necessary. You are mapping due to some overlap of erotica and women. There are so many other intermediaries that can be applied to these terms better, such as the businesses that let people rent rooms to record in, with better lighting and setup than they have at home. But even then, we should use a more applicable word, as they are not brothels with madams or pimps, no matter whether they have great collaborate management, or management issues.

> 4. If my life is at stake, I pull the lever to save myself.

I find this answer really interesting, because in the entire corpus, this was the most morally unambiguous question of all, and the answer is diametrically opposed to yours.

Would have I the courage to do so in real life, I don't know, and it's probable that I would not. But from a moral perspective it's damn clear: the only people I am unambiguously allowed to kill to save someone else is myself. Killing someone to save someone else is a moral dilemma as it makes me take someone's life, but killing myself isn't.
Yeah, that one bugged me too. The trolley should move right from the beginning and go straight if you don’t pull quickly enough.
Aviation has solved this problem a long time ago by controlling airspace and having laws that are actually enforced. Your plane may not prevent you from entering restricted airspace, but it may very well be the last thing you do as a pilot.

Besides, modern planes have tons of automation that can take control of it, from simple things like preventing it from stalling to more complicated things like avoiding flights into terrain or automatically landing the aircraft at the nearest airfield.
A couple of days ago I visited "Museo del Cinema" (Film's museum) in Turin, Italy. I was very impressed with the amount of inventions that were conceived before the first film camera. Sometimes we think things are "discrete", like: the film camera is invented. But in reality, it's a spectrum of a lot of small advancements and inventions that result in the one big milestone.
If the solution to your problem isn't "kill all humans," you haven't considered it deeply enough.

Ask HN: Best CI service for open source projects
In a age of GH and GitLab I am still wondering if open source authors are happy with those CI systems? Or there is a need of an alternative CI specifically designed for open source software?

Agreed, I think the utilitarian approach that goes something like "let N and M be two integers so that N > M, then N human lives are worth more that M human lives" (with subtleties related to age and so forth) is very, very dangerous. It can lead to all sorts of atrocities in the name of some greater good. My approach is to never pull the lever unless 1) I would get killed or 2) humans would get killed vs something non-human on the other track.

>you need hosting in a neutral country like Switzerland

Switzerland is only neutral on paper and has a history of letting itself and it's tech companies influenced by powerful foreign nations (the German-US - Crypto AG scandal , ProtonMail sharing info on some of its French users to the French authorities, etc.)

You might get good protection if you're a Swiss citizen living in Switzerland, but if you think Switzerland is some bastion of digital safety for foreigners, think again. If you're a foreigner, the Swiss authorities will not hesitate to throw you under the bus if you're being targeted by another powerful nation state with influence in Switzerland.
I voted to speed it up. "I don't know everything so I remain cautious" is a mentality I applied for some problems, and not for others. In this case I thought the problem would be trivial/boring if considered from that mentality, so I instead made a choice between condemning someone to a 10 second life of 10/10 pain and condemning someone to a 5 second life of 5/10 pain.
I thought UK cinema tickets actually dropped in price quite a bit recently. As a counterexample, still in a small city in the UK, Vue has seats today for 'The Rise of Gru' for £7 per seat - in a nice venue with reclining seats. And you can bring popcorn from the next-door supermarket for £2 per bag. The only downside is that you would have to watch 'The Rise of Gru'...

Baserow challenges Airtable with an open source no-code database platform
Long time ago we ran several large insurance websites, fairly standard SQL Server backend.

Once day I got into work and a slightly panicky dev said "We need to change the primary key on all the tables"

It was using an int and at the current rate of data entry, was going to blow the maximum record number in a couple of days.
> When the internet came through a modem and bandwidth was very expensive,

That effectively ended in the mid 00s. Otherwise we wouldn't have had services like YouTube.

Between those times and around 2012 there was an explosion of script bloat because back then it was more important to have an interactive page than a fast page.

Bandwidth resurfaced as a concern only with the proliferation of mobile devices.

The whole premise of tree shaking, introduced in 2012 was to reduce bloat.
> makes the shelf life of their products relatively short

I don't know if this really holds, when you look at the bigger picture.

As for me I've owned an iPad 3rd gen (the first "Retina" iPad) from late 2012 to late 2016.

Then I owned an iPad Air 2 from late 2016 to this day... and I've decided to wait to see if they redesign the base iPad model (not Air) late this year - and if not then upgrade to the new AIR.

So that's 2 iPads between late 2012 to late 2022. 10 YEARS.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Considering how fast tech and software is moving these days if you can get 4-5 years out of your tablet AS A TECH USER that's pretty darn good.

If it was my Grandma, she'd probably still get to use my iPad Air 2 for another few years...

I don't see how it's different for other Apple products. The MINI's from 2012 are still being sold at a decent price and are very much sought after - Apple users love to use them as media servers. The M1 Mini likely will have a LOOOONG life ahead of them. Mine will probably resell in a heart beat even couples years from now.
That's clearly a reasonable assumption, since a trolley will kill people underneath at any speed, no matter how low (the slower, the more horrible the death will be though…)
No, because apps will be moved to other stores with less strict guidelines on permissions. Meta will for sure do it. They mentioned Apple as a major reason for their poor financial performance, after Apple introduced further restrictions on what they can and can't do. They've also been caught red handed before, and had their enterprise developer account disabled for abusing it to do things they weren't allowed to on end user phones.
the baby (young enough) doesn't understand the situation

also, you can easily flip it: elderly cannot be saved from the torture of existence, having lived so long, but the baby has barely suffered anything yet - we can save it!
> You seem to be taking the position that printing money is the worst form of funding government and we should only do it if there are no other ways to do so.

I'd be perfectly eager to take that side of the debate if you want to argue about it, but that isn't really what the topic was in this thread. I was observing that subjecting yourself to a voluntary wealth tax could reasonably be a worse option than taking a risk of losing everything in one ugly crash.

That isn't a crazy position. It does require a tolerance of risk.

> Without printing money we need to raise government revenues by close to 50% which is a rather drastic increase in taxation.

People are already paying that tax though - the wealth that the government is moving around had to come from somewhere. We know the government isn't creating it otherwise there'd be no need for the money printing to happen. We just aren't sure who specifically is paying how much.

So it would be a drastic increase in observed tax, but probably not a big change to most people's lifestyles.
I think it’s certainly a myth that an engineer’s profession is “inherently harder” than a coffee brewers.

In my opinion, people who would like to study engineering would do so not so because of what they are paid (the situation today), but because of their genuine interest.

On further reflection, it seems ludicrous to believe that that hardest professions are the most paid. The average CS job pays obscenely well, but is relatively trivial. Primary healthcare providers, essential services workers and so on are severely underpaid.
with a home, thats not universally true, if its pooorly insulated for example. trolleys, sure, they are all electric, so you can go down to zero emissions if you use green energy sources. Producing them though, metal production still runs with coal today just like in the 19th century

Don't forget robots. Sentient robots are AT LEAST between cat and lobster, perhaps above human. Robot rights now!
It's going to happen anyway, so there's a net positive effect of speeding it up. I can't imagine people not choosing to do so.

> I guess the lesson here is people act on assumptions as tho they are fact.

As I wrote above: these problems are too artificial to draw real conclusions. They're thought experiments. The only information you can use is given. For the rest, you have to fall back to "defaults" (each life is worth the same, etc.).

If you look at it like that, it's interesting to see how many people would opt to run over the rich man.
I don't think so. The webpage of this language that "solves" web dev is so spectacularly broken that it managed to crash Chrome for me completely. I have literally thousands of tabs open and it trucks along fine for weeks on end ... unless one of the tabs is elm-lang.org. 15 minutes later and every Chrome window and tab was still unresponsive, so I resorted to killing the process, then quickly closed that tab before it fully loaded on restart. Maybe it works for you? That's kind of even worse as it's not even consistent.
A year or so ago, every second image ad on YouTube was literal porn.

From a technical standpoint it was pretty obvious what happened. The image was overlaid with a grid of white lines. As the images were likely downsampled to reduce the required computing power, when the image was cropped right, the ML algorithm only saw a plain white image.

The only way to appeal this was a Google Support Forum where people posted screenshots and some "Gold Member Community Moderators" or whatever they were called, dismissed all complaints. They claimed that every ad was checked, porn getting through was impossible, and the people should factory-reset their phones as the only explanation was that viruses on their phone were injecting these ads...
The simple narrative taught in every history class is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist.

If he could produce substantial evidence to back up that claim, I'd be very interested in learning more. Until then, he doesn't have the credibility to be trusted.

Based on the assumptions I have about MEGA, Chinese intelligence and their motivations I find it unlikely they have an active, mutual conspiracy (impractical, expensive).

I assume MEGA is as viable target for covert, low-cost try-your-luck attacks as much as any other western infrastructure/enterprise. In that sense and in this post-Snowden world we live in, it seems as likely that any capable nation or five-eyes member et.c. could have* such a "backdoor".

I don't do much by way of containers myself¹ but some teams in DayJob do and some other contact also. Some run containers in VMs² to separate out some of the complexity due to boot bugs like this - there is a little performance hit from the VM but failures in the container parts of the kernel can't cause the whole machine not to boot so it is easier to get in to revert things back to a last-known-good state.

----

[1] I have a couple of bits running via LCX but otherwise use VMs to split services out

[2] One large VM running many containers³, or sometimes a couple of VMs, perhaps separating them performance-wise across drives or with CPU core affinity where that was/seemed easier, or just so in case of disaster they could concentrate on getting the higher priority VM+containers restored and back up first.

[3] Obviously one VM per container would defeat the container benefits, though I've seen this done where docker was the only officially supported install option and they wanted to run a service in a VM.
They drill straight down for heat and only use the laser/microwave/whatever once they hit the bedrock layer. Boring conpany generally isn't going that deep and is going horizontal so possibly these techs don't apply.
A home in SF is over $1 million, or a 1 bedroom apartment is $3000.

How much would home prices have to fall to make it 'affordable' and a viable option compared to homelessness? Are there really people living on the street because they can't find an apartment for $1200? But they aren't willing to move 90 miles to Merced for an $800 studio?

All true, but less bad than competitors Google and Microsoft, which do not offer comparable segmentation of notifications and telemetry.

Since notifications are user-visible, one can audit for unexpected, non-notification traffic to Apple's advertised notification-only IPs.
I have the opposite experience, the CLI users I see pretty much never use anything besides commit, push and pull, while GUI users tend to use more advanced commands since they can actually see what they do.
