Using water is sustainable - life has been doing it since the beginning - it's where you pull that water from that really matters. Water has a natural cycle where the earth recycles it. Sustainability is making sure your draw from earth's reservoirs are in balance with the rate the earth is replenishing them.

If you pump water out of your groundwater table faster than the water cycle replenishes it - that isn't sustainable. If you draw from lakes faster than the water shed and streams replenish them - that isn't sustainable.

The Salt River Project in Arizona carefully monitors the water shed, reservoir levels, and ground water levels to sustainably provide water to the valley. Arizona seeks out new sources of water that will provide sustainable water moving forward. When we build - we take water demand into consideration and source water upfront. Yes we have pools and water parks, but we plan for those and work to make them sustainable. We don't just let almond farmers tap our ground water and drain our water tables like some neighboring states. It helps that the only solution for us is a sustainable solution; the only way to survive here in the desert is to have a sustainable water supply.

To GP's point, many of these measurements are showing that humans are unsustainably pulling from these reservoirs. The levels are dropping, lakes are running dry, and rivers aren't making it to the ocean. But, when I look at the numbers, I can't say it's Arizona causing that. Arizona seems to be doing it's diligence in sustainably using water. I can't say the same for our neighboring states.

Genuine question: What's the appeal of ligatures?

I never got the point. I want to see exactly what's in the document. With ligatures I have to translate what I see back to what I get. It seems like unnecessary cognitive load to me.
They still do great on this metric, though! MIT comes out looking a bit short of Harvard, on par with Stanford. These schools ride a bit higher than the top tier of LACs (Williams/Amherst/Pomona/Swarthmore), which isn't necessarily the fairest comparison, but Caltech fits right in with those.

Maybe they'd be richer if their admissions was more open about taking quasi-bribes, but I suspect you're dramatically underestimating the orders of magnitude of difference that appear on this metric. You find clear tier gaps.

Don't get me wrong, this is a silly proxy metric about three degrees out from anything you'd actually want to know. But it gets surprisingly good results for how simple it is to tabulate.

I have the opposite problem. I changed my payment info without telling Adsense so they send menacing paper letters that threaten the process of escheatment if I don't claim my funds. I decided I don't want their services in my life, and when it came to accepting their money I was fine with leaving that behind as well. Apparently when enough monthly checks stack up it causes problems. I've moved since then, so I hope the new tennant was wise enough to just send them some new payment info.

Log jam: Vancouver wants its beloved beach logs back, but officials are wary
I don't mean to minimize anybody's work, I'm genuinely curious about why it can't be done. Like, what's stopping me from making a compiler that optimizes tail calls?

For instance: the C and C++ standards have very strict rules for how to handle floating point math, and compilers aren't allowed to deviate from that according to the standard. Which turns off all sorts of cool optimizations you can do. But of course, all modern compilers implement some version of "-ffast-math" which turns off those rules and allows for the optimizations. It's no longer standard C/C++, but that doesn't mean that switch can't exist. The compiler is a computer program, it can output anything it wants, regardless of what the standard says. Nobody is going to go to jail because you turned on -ffast-math. The code will still run just fine.

So, my question is, why can't you write a compiler with an option that's like "I don't particularly care that .stack changes, do the tail call optimization". A -ffast-math, but for tail calls. Is there a technical reason why you can't do this?

You're not missing out. My moto g power (2020) can sometimes manage the feature, but only sometimes.

I’ve put on weight and I find the cgm to be a way more objective and practical metric than calorie counting. It’s simply hard to consume enough low GI foods to put on weight.

There are certain foods that my body seems to process poorly. My blood glucose spikes as much from crackers and rice as it does from more traditional sweets. My heuristics for other foods that I assumed were sweet (often fatty foods with mild sweetener) were also wrong. And I’m not weighing everything, counting calories, etc. I just tap my phone onto the device a few times a day.

Other things have also been surprising. I smoke hookah fairly regularly and found that it raises my fasting blood glucose by almost ten points (80 -> 90).

I find it’s an easy North Star metric with a single exception being intense physical activity which releases glycogen stores.

There are other factions within the community that believe that blood glucose spikes are responsible for things like abdominal fat storage and you’ll see that they continually try to game the number with things like nut consumption and drinking vinegar. This seems less useful to me.
I wasn't at Sun but am on the Java team now at Oracle. I'm constantly amazed by the inventor culture that Sun had, the people who came from there, and the legacy it has produced, but we all know how the business ended. That's no environment for a world-changing development platform to thrive.

It took a few years to find its footing, but Oracle has really given Java the space and resources to thrive. The roadmap is fuller than it ever has been and the release cadence continues to deliver value. Check out projects Amber, Loom, Panama, Valhalla. Tap into the stream of Inside.java. Exciting times.

Point being, I believe Java is a datapoint for successful product acquisition.

a huge improvement over rangefinder

The SLR is a great alternative to a rangefinder.

But not necessarily an improvement because rangefinders often show what is outside the image frame, the view through the finder can be close to f1 without weight or bulk, and the absence of a mirror tends to make cameras quieter.

To be fair I always thought of SLR’s as the pinnacle in accord with decades of marketing.

Until I bought my first rangefinder, an Olympus 35RC which is not all that much much bigger than a pack of cigarettes.

I still like SLR’s as an alternative experience to rangefinders (and zone focus viewfinder cameras and view cameras, and TLR cameras).

And just to make a pedanticism, view cameras also let the photographer compose through the taking lens…without a pentaprism in the way.

Thanks! I used to work in a camera store back around the turn of the millenium in a period when people would come up and ask for the tradeoffs between digital and film. I didn't like AA cameras at the time because they'd consume lots of them, but you make a good point about their afterlife and of course NI-MH are a lot better now too. I was afraid your recommendation would trigger me to acquire yet another camera, and it looks like it will lol. Kind of crazy how good they are compared to when I was selling them, and how those very good ones are already just about ready for the trash heap.
Seriously it was such a mess. Lag aside, they had MULTIPLE cases of either someone's mic not being on, or someone with a hot mic after they were done whispering over the stream. Almost every single transition to scientists in other cities failed. This is really unfortunate because they hyped up this event big time. They announced it two weeks in advance, had a countdown, even had scientists do "reaction" videos to seeing the photos for the first time...

A few months ago, I came to the belief that Google is the ADHD toddler of user-facing software development - absolutely unable to sit still and concentrate on anything, hence the constant UI/UX churn, half-baked products, and graveyard[1] of shiny things that they worked on for a few years before abandoning.

Google seems to be really good at making developer tools like Borg and Blaze - however, I think that as an organization they have some deficit that makes them not responsible enough to develop user-facing software (like, uh, an operating system).

Maybe Google would be better as a B2B company.

> You need to read the quote more closely

No, I really don't. I was looking at the quote in its totality, not carving out little bits that purport to support my claims.

> In otherwords, they don't believe there is such a thing as "voluntary slavery". That is, if you volunteer for it, it's not slavery. That's a cute word game they are playing just so they don't have to accept the fact that they condone slavery.

No, progressives were the ones who extended slavery to refer to people who needed to take low paying jobs to subsist (which was the default state for most people for all of human history). Outside of progressive contexts, slavery has never meant anything other than forced servitude. These libertarians are using "slavery" correctly (that doesn't imply that indentured servitude is a desirable state of affairs).

> A Libertarian supports the idea a person could sign a contract where they get no pay AND they have to follow all the rules of their employer. IE, Indentured Servitude [1]

They believe that minimum wages lead to more people losing their income altogether and thus starving to death, and that this is a worse state of affairs than taking a low paying job.

> that's the more direct form of slavery.

Indentured servitude isn't slavery, per your own link. You are now the one playing word games. Anyway, it looks like you're going to manipulate semantics, which is the dullest way to debate, so I'm ducking out.

> 98-99% of the time it was the same function calling itself

well if the same function is in the "tail" it would still apply a tail call elimination.

But a lot of the time tail call eliminiation is only needed in some extreme cases. it can eliminate stack overflow exceptions by a big amount.
C#'s new System.Text.Json would greatly benefit with tail call ops, because it often has a call chain that is recursive and does not call itself (its mostly like ReadObject, ReadObjectAsync, ReadObject, ReadBla, ReadObject, etc. and if the object has a ref to itself system.text.json often blows up.

In Java and Scala this thing can btw. also happen (and I've already seen it) however at least you can configure the stack size there and thus most often eliminate the problem somewhat.

it's an edge case, but one that would be cool to fix, since it makes code often more reasonable especially parsers.

It always blows my mind that when you look at the night sky, aside from 7 planets and only 2 galaxies, every point of light you see is a star; but when these space telescopes point at a patch of nothingness, we see a starry night where every point of light is a (freaking) galaxy.
I'm not a lawyer and this isn't advice... but it seems to me that kind of non-payment is probably the kind of thing you can resolve pretty quickly with appropriate legal action. A simple letter to legal saying, "your terms say you'll pay me X, it hasn't been paid. I'd like you to do so or I'll have to look at taking all appropriate steps to get paid." Will often get the right person to look at the issue. And if that fails actually filing the appropriate action almost always does.
I have not been following WASM generally, but my understanding after reading this:

Unlike regular machine language, WASM does not allow you to control the call semantics. That is, if you emit x86 machine instructions you can handle TCE entirely in your own compiler, the machine itself does not care.

WASM has special call instructions, these perform basically a conventional stack frame/call stack approach and you can't short circuit it. The closest you can get, which works fine for auto-recursive functions and maybe some detectable mutually recursive functions, is to convert tail calls into loops within the compiled WASM output. So recursive tail calls work fine in WASM if your compiler doesn't turn them into calls, but leaves them as a self-implemented (by the compiler) loop structure using whatever appropriate WASM instructions are available. This is fine for auto-recursive functions, but puts the burden at implementing TCE for them on the compiler writer. Which means you'll get it for some languages that compile to WASM, but not all. And only for the limited cases they support (probably restricted to auto-recursive and some mutual recursive circumstances).

What this proposal introduces is a new version of the call instruction that would be used in tail call positions. Then the WASM interpreters would do the work of actually combining the stack frames internally. Detecting that a call is a tail call is actually pretty straightforward for a compiler. Given that it is a tail call, it can emit (or not) the new call instruction and will get TCE "for free". It doesn't have to do a code transformation from recursive to looping, and it can be applied more broadly than just recursive circumstances.

Tangential, but I found Ev's recent Tweet about the Twitter/Elon mess totally perplexing:

Why would Twitter want to just let this all blow over? Elon did a ton of damage to the company and they have a good cause of action.
