Possibly, but when I talk about "low-level stuff", I usually imagine very concrete things that are suitable for physical hardware implementation. Things like what the simplest RISC-V chip is designed to do. Unlimited jumps definitely are one of those things. Notions of stack frames or block structured languages (limitations on jumps) etc. definitely aren't among them. So I couldn't possibly ever consider something like WASM to be "low-level", because it places constraints on your code that no reasonable physical CPU would ever enforce.

[EDIT, from a deleted comment of yours:

> The RISC-V chip is in the same family as the PDP-11 architecture. The Turing machine itself requires no JMP instruction, so it is possible to build a CPU without one. Has anyone done so? In general no, because the PDP-11 had profound impact on the world of physical computing. But one does see it from time to time; GLSL, for example, has no `goto` instruction because the graphics card shader hardware it was built to operate on does its magic by running exactly the same instructions on multiple data; jump would imply the ability for one of the instruction flows to be different from the others in its processing cell, which the hardware cannot support while maintaining the throughput it must to accomplish its task.

I get what you're trying to say here, but sort of a guiding principle for me here for many years has been what I call "the principle of minimal total complexity". While you can keep making the CPU simpler in many cases, if that causes your program to become excessively long in the sense that the total size of the description of your program AND the device it's running on starts actually increasing, that's a place you don't want to design yourself into in practice. In case of sequential machines, I don't consider removal of features that makes programs unnecessarily long "making the machine even more low-level", that's just "making the machine dumber" to me. Feel free to look at the Oberon system (both HW and SW) to see what I have in mind by that -- that seems to be about as minimal a complete system as I can imagine in practice.]

> it is our job to give back

I've struggled with the same thoughts above, and giving back is helpful. I've tried to document it (https://www.codekindly.org/) with these principles of giving back by coding kindly:

Be Kind to the Earth: reduce code waste, utilize green infra

Be Kind to Community: donate code, give to charity

Be Kind to Users: protect privacy, provide joyful experiences

Be Kind to Yourself: physical + mental health, cultivate relationships

It's a shift in mindset to find fulfillment in your current job
I do agree that you can learn these things in a higher level language.

I completely disagree that C is no long relevant. The amount of new C code written today across the world dwarfs the amount of new Rust, D, or Nim code combined.
The difference is in a) the details and b) the length of time the telescope has to gather light to get the photo. JWST got the photo in hours when Hubble took weeks, and there's easily 10x as many objects in the JWST shot.

JWST can thus observe much fainter and much more distant objects - galaxies billions of years old, exoplanets, etc., and it can do more of it.
Thanks for that, I have some visitors next week and I knew I'd seen that as a feature somewhere (just couldn't find it in the UI)
Very interesting idea... Perhaps a way to describe the sets of columns (clusters) and maybe even whether the cluster is row or column-oriented.

But if you want to split the table between frequently and rarely accessed sets of columns you could just use a view to bring different types of tables together? Eg: a view that brings a row-oriented table together with a column-oriented one? Or row-oriented table together with an external table (storage).

Obviously, DMLs would then become a little more complicated.
Some folks prioritize the quality of the image in the viewfinder, and mirrorless uses an electronic viewfinder. Other folks prioritize weight and size, and for them the mirrorless has clear advantages.
About a third of my female friends had an unsafe experience with a taxi driver.
Coco was excellent. But agreed on the rest.
Yes, there is a thread to that effect. Development was heavily delayed, certification and conservatism around space systems can slow down deployment to the point of just not being worth changing things.

I am sorry to have been presumptuous. There's been a spate of recent armchair experts with some arrogant "they should just use a warp drive" type contributions lately.
>Selective enforcement is one of the principal ways that workers experience discrimination in the workplace.

Amazon is creating an extremely detailed paper trail of their enforcement actions. It'd be trivial to show that, as an example, on average black workers got fired for 3 errors while white ones were fired for 5.

The warnings seem mostly fair too. Counting 19 items when there we 20 in a bin during inventory as an example. I can see why some look at this as dystopian but this sort of objective measurement is pretty darn appealing. If we had a programming equivalent I think it'd make my life better by weeding out the bullshitters and those that fake productivity by creating complicated solutions.
Interesting, I guess that goes to show how long it's been since I've explored what TikTok offers. Thanks for the info.
Picking a car lock without setting off a loud alarm is a huge hassle and with the right setup it'll probably leave marks of entry at least. I've seen enough LPL videos that I trust physical car locks as much as I do house locks.

I agree with the inconspicuousness of wireless hacking, but I wouldn't even call it the main drawback: the main drawback is that many insurance companies won't pay a dime if there are no signs of entry at all. Break a window, steal an entertainment system, and the original owner probably gets some money for window repair and a new part. Do the same thing digitally and the insurance company will probably tell you to pound sand.

> which economic theory

https://archive.nytimes.com/krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/0...

"even in the long run, it’s really, really hard to cut nominal wages. Yet when you have very low inflation, getting relative wages right would require that a significant number of workers take wage cuts. So having a somewhat higher inflation rate would lead to lower unemployment, not just temporarily, but on a sustained basis"

Paul Krugman is about as mainstream an economist as you can get

> wages will necessarily go up with inflationary

What exactly is the mechanism for this? I'm reminded of this video:

I didn't try make the argument that people should blindly do what those around them want them to do either, where did you get that? I'm just pointing out that "caring less what others think" isn't inherently virtuous. You turned it into this freedom brain shit, but like obviously of course you are free to do whatever, and people are free to feel how they feel about it. Whether you're willing to bear those consequences is part of the decisions-making that forms your freedom to act, how could it be otherwise.
I've seen this comparison floating around for the deep field.

Well, firstly you have to have a password of >=8 chars for WPA. Secondly, having such a short non-complex password is going to easily be crackable with a deauth and 3-way handshake capture attack. Would easily crack on a 5 year old laptop in minutes even w/o GPU.
The comment I responded to didn't mention complexity, only the spicing up bland food.

Also sorry to hear that - boiled vegetables taste amazing to me. Cabbage, onions, broccoli, etc have amazing flavors when you learn to appreciate them. I can enjoy food drowned in spices and sauces, but in my experience "blandness" is often an indication of desensitization rather than an actual lack of flavor, like how people who excessively consume sugar may have trouble appreciating the sweetness in fruits.

I think there is some middle ground to find. As of right now, looking at audio codecs on Play Store, there is some status quo which is IMO good (but it requires to actually be written somewhere, otherwise shit will happen): Opensource applications that are not shipped with devices but are available "on the internet", or some app store aren't threatened by patents holder.

(Source: I'm a contributor of opensource NOVA Video Player, which was previously closed-source Archos Video Player)

As a company, I think that paying for standards is fair, but it must be reasonable. Reasonable implies 1. clear rules which never blocks innovation [1][1b] 2. reasonable fee [2], 3. freedom of using whichever implementation of that standard I want, 4. If fee has been paid on HW, then any SW on that HW is allowed to use that license

[1] Some vendors will sell their licenses exclusively on hardware, so if you sell an app, you're screwed

[1b] Some vendors will require you to make different SKUs whether you enable it or not. What if user need to enable it later?

[2] Sisvel's AV1 license is 15c, which is imo fair for a 200$ HW, but not for a 1$ ad-less video app. That being said, I have no idea how to actually make it fair. (Note that as I understand it, Sisvel's AV1 license is for HW, not SW, no idea how it works for SW)
Ah. Might have to watch it then. After a number of duds I gave up on watching new Pixar movies except for those made by Brad Bird, or especially recommended.
Why does the QR code encode whether the access point is hidden or not? It has the SSID.
Lifespan is not dictated by hard disk space, it's dictated by consumables like liquid helium, other cryosystems and fuel for stationkeeping thrusters. Most big NASA projects are specced to just promise enough to get funded (in terms of science) and overengineered, so what gets built will often be stretched longer than the intial deliverables demanded anyway (see basically all the recent Mars rovers).
The exoplanet analysis is what I'm most intrigued by. They're getting much more data than in the past on these.

Of course they went for an easy gas giant target first (it has lots of water, which is great), but those Earth-like planets in the Goldilocks zone are gonna be some of the most exciting stuff that comes out of this. Looking forward to it.
and in my experience, uber is the same. cabs just don't show up, drivers ask where you want to go before coming and if they don't wanna go that way, they just don't move. and i have to cancel the trip (chargeable btw) and book another, but same story. insane waiting times for booking a cab, prices that fluctuate more than crypto, and I've had better luck asking random taxi drivers for rides on the street (sure, not as safe, but standing in the Delhi heat for fifteen minutes waiting for a swift desire does a number on your consideration of safety) Ola has always delivered a better experience for me and the drivers I've talked to seem happier using Ola. I'm too young to remember "the old way" of getting a cab, but that seems worse somehow.
This line of thinking is so out of the ordinary for me. I'm sure you could fix one side of the equation by forcefully taking from the other... but on what ethical grounds?

Devil's advocate, what's the issue here?

I'm obviously have my own biases, but why should I care that European regulators got bamboozled by Uber? Uber is clearly duplicitous, and I only have a hypodermic understanding of this, but were consumers ultimately harmed (other than the obvious wasting of time of the regulators)?
I think you don't have the right fonts installed.
> But, really, was anyone turning on their car for less than minimum wage before? You'd be losing money hand over fist doing that.

Yet people were. That’s literally what we’re talking about here. Because starvation was the other option. Burning your capital (i.e. your car) to the ground was a sensible choice given the other options.

> A lowered price isn't the same as exploitation

See my other comment. It isn’t exploitation, unless someone else is getting rich off it. Which they were.
I'm skeptical. I've only briefly visited Germany, but my very first experience upon arriving was being scammed by a taxi.
I don't get it, how can people use this to learn rust?

Sure, game development can be fun. But this looks more like a tutorial for rltk. It quickly gets pretty confusing if you don't already know some rust, gamedev and rougelike.

(I recommend beginners to look at rust by examples instead)
I realize OP is talking more about the experience of the workers than the users, and I don't have an inside scoop here, but I'd put forward “Google acquiring Keyhole” as well. Google was in a unique position to allow anyone with a browser to view satellite photos from around the world, for free, and have the economics make sense for them.
The models system76 offer are interesting, but as a business choice we are forced to ponder if it makes sense support wise.
I feel like you're using the word "fictional" in a sense that renders all models of computation "fictional" to the same extent and hence renders the word "fictional" itself meaningless/uninformative. Personally I feel like there should be some distinction between features depending on how much supporting machinery you need to physically implement them. To me at least, "low-level features" are those that require the smallest amount of physical machinery to implement them. Things like bitwise operations, indirect addressing, arbitrary IP adjustments, etc. Definitely not things like enforcing stack discipline, enforcing block structure and such. (Just so that you know what I mean when I say "low-level". Opinions on that may differ very wildly, of course, and it's perfectly possible that other people use that term differently.)

I'm not saying that "fictional" things are bad. Tail calls themselves are "fictional" to me in the sense that all tail calls are jumps but not all jumps are tail calls, and the distinction between a tail call and a general jump is too difficult to make for a reasonably sized physical machine and best left to the compiler. But that is not me being judgmental against tail calls, of course -- I love tail calls and consider their lack a huge design failure wherever they're absent.

Indeed, the app, while nicely implemented, contained nothing groundbreaking.

In my experience, gig workers are being exploited as they do not take into account their expenses. Most see uber as decent pay until their car starts having issues.
so how is blockchain supposed to mitigate identity remaining the same?

i am assuming if i want to block a bad actor on the chain, i note that and later whenever someone queries their address, my note is shown so what is it solving?

>And because discovery of instances is not perfectly frictionless, people tend to just sign up for the big instances

the solution exists, sure it might not be frictionless as of now but its not like it is a fundamental problem?

yeah, blockchain is not the solution.

>The compromise of decentralization is that if you have an account on mastodon.social, they can censor you

admins of mastodon.social can but so can any other instance so how is that a bad thing? how do we equally fight spammers/bad actors and at the same time prevent good people who have been banned to say their words?

isnt good/bad inherently a subjective issue that is to be decided by a person? activitypub gives users and admins the power to decide so what is the problem there?

i am not questioning you specifically, just asking
Thank you for the recommendations. I will be sure to check out Scala and go through your suggestions.

1. Lotteries are not taxes because the participation is voluntary (unlike the soviet lottery/got's bond combo).

2. People buy lottery tickets just like they buy movie tickets - it is a form of _entertainment_. They heard many times that they should not expect to win - just like they heard many times that what they see on the silver screen is not real. Nevertheless they keep dreaming.
Condé neglected reddit for a while, then spun it back out. I think they owned it for 5 years. While not good, neglect is arguably better than trying to change too much.

> Do you concede that inflation robs people of purchasing power? That's the most important point from that.

It's not supposed to. The policy rate is supposed to match the inflation rate on average. When the fed says 2% inflation target it also implies that the fed funds rate should be at 2%.

Most of the runaway inflation you're seeing today is because the *government* spent way, way too much money which put a massive strain on limited resources. Blame the CARES Act + American Rescue Plan. You want to see corruption and pork spending? Look at the $3 trillion in deficit spending across the Trump and Biden administrations.
Somehow Western European countries manage to have domestic workers grow their food at decent wages, even if it means higher food prices. Why can’t we?

You only get one chance to make a first impression.
I took your original post to be two different complaints. You don't like CSS because he lies and you want someone who provides details without building a brand around "Musk hatred"

I'm completely neutral to CSS. If he lies, that's bad. If he's not lying, that's not bad. I don't watch his videos.

But I think there's nothing wrong with someone who is trying to build a brand (what many content creators are trying to do) taking a firm Elon-love or Elon-hate stance. That's what I was responding to.

> it isn't that hard to criticize Elon Musk without lying

I think that's very true. I also think people who praise him lie almost as often. I don't understand why. There is plenty to criticize or praise him on that's true.
Could you share some of the issues you're experiencing with the provider? We've also hit some problems with the provider but worked around most of the issues in our open-source modules (eg, https://github.com/mineiros-io/terraform-github-repository) and by using Terramate (eg, renaming repositories causes re-creation in the provider, with Terramate we're dynamically creating move statements to prevent this. Check out Terramate if you haven't done it yet: https://github.com/mineiros-io/terramate)
Actually even C++ can benefit from this.

In LLVM C++ coroutines compile down to functions with the "musttail" attribute, that right now is not possible to express in Wasm [1].

It is also useful to efficiently implement stuff like interpreters, where you use it as a way to jump to the code of the next instruction directly (Wasm has only structured control flow, but you can see a tail call as a sort of jump/goto instruction)

GC is making a lot of progress. There are VM and toolchain prototypes. You can compile Java and Dart to wasm on those today and it generally works and is pretty fast. (There is also a Kotlin prototype but I have less information about it.) Most of the big spec questions have also been resolved.

DOM manipulation hasn't changed - you still need to call into JS to do those. Ideas like WebIDL bindings have been proposed over the years but haven't shown enough benefit. JS is better for DOM-heavy code, while wasm excels at computation-heavy code. But you can write bindings from wasm (maybe someone already has for OCaml?), which is what toolchains do today - not as fast as JS, but often good enough.
Can you encode a BSSID (MAC-based) or just the ESSID (assigned name)? The formatting isn't very pleasant I imagine for putting a MAC in with all those backslashes..
it's terrifying how alone and ephemeral we truly are, that there are already places in our expanding universe that will never be reachable even via communication with any technology on any time scale (unless universe expansion reverses course). that any communication we may receive today will be from civilizations that have ceased to exist thousands to billions of years ago. and humans will likely never travel outside the solar system.
