It's not different though. You asked:

> Do you honestly claim that you know when deallocations happen in any codebase full of conditionals depending on outside effects (user input, network, etc)?

And the answer to that is yes. You even admitted that here:

> While you do know that every allocation will be freed and know their relative order

This is a lot more specific than "the GC will free this memory at some indeterminate point that it deems acceptable".

Additionally, in your specific example:

> this freeing happens when the user closes the open text file window

So you can plan for that. You can pop up a saving screen if you run tests and realize that the deallocations take a bit of time. With GC, it's luck of the draw. I'm speaking from experience.

I wrote a tool that used Roslyn to do some transpiling of a custom format in our company. It was very important that it ran fast, since this algorithm was going to be run in a time sensitive situation. And it had to free it's memory as soon as it was done using it, since it was hot swapping the DLLs and I needed to make sure I wasn't getting name collisions from DLLs that were waiting for the GC to run to fully unload the old DLLs. I tried so many different ways to tell C# GC to collect the object tree that I knew was no longer necessary, but it was seemingly impossible.

Microsoft even has a page dedicated to debugging why an assembly won't unload and it reads:

> The difficult case is when the root is a static variable or a GC handle.[0]

Now you may say that this while problem only arises because of my weird specific use case, which is true but I couldn't change my requirements since those were hard requirements from my company. This could all easily be solved if a GC allowed you to define the concept of ownership. I had references hanging around that didn't matter because the object holding the references didn't own that memory.

All that to say, yes you can know exactly when you're memory will be deallocated in a language like C. In a language like C#, your left to the whims of the GC which can be a deal breaker in lots of cases.

What really gets me too, is languages like C# end up creating DI frameworks with the "novel" concept of lifetime requirements to make sure object lifetimes are properly scoped. What the heck? It's got a GC. Why did they go through all that trouble if the GC just cleans it up for you? If I have to think about object lifetimes, I may as well switch to a language that makes that explicit rather than a language that obfuscated it as much as possible.

Well, it's hard to cite a page where somebody manually estimated some numbers from various sources without at least providing a table to see what the individual estimates were so at least some errors can be corrected.

But, interesting factoids.
The author's criteria for 'good' projects seem very reasonable. So all you blockchain yeah-sayers, convince me that sensible, useful, REAL applications exist - things that make the author's criteria (no vague "in xxx they use it" statements, please).

What happens if, instead of making $100M, the kid just takes the money, slacks off, and refuses to work? Can he be sued for breaching fiduciary duty?

Or, what happens if he/she works really hard, but never makes it, and their investor decides to sue for their money back? Often times, legal representation costs 10s, even 100s of thousands.

You’re really just legalizing either fraud or indentured servitude here. In real life, magic oracles don’t exist.
So a quote from 70 years ago, shortly after WWII. Important time for returning to something like normalcy after the war. Put our boys to work.

But every publicly available statement made by a CEO is PR. Like it or not. Not always done with that intent, but usually with it in mind.

Sure, the impact to employees has been felt more recently. But the attitude has been there before they were companies and employees. Kingdoms and subjects, plantations and slaves, whatever the case may be. Very old. This is just the latest skin. There’s always those parties that go against the current.

So to respond to your CEO reference, I’ll throw out a more modern one. I’m having to go on what little I’ve gathered from the media, but Dan Price seems like the real deal. Even with what I said above. Can’t know, but the look is good. I buy it. I want to believe, even after learning I shouldn’t.

Good companies can exist. Good people exist, and can lead companies. All of which can serve society, and benefit all individuals.

“Can” isn’t enough. And there are far too few that ARE.

You have to understand some nuances of the technology to be able to fully appreciate the emptiness of the claim made by BurstIQ to have a “blockchain-enabled big data” system.

Based on the tech, this claim just makes no sense, and it doesn’t surprise me that all of their job ads are for normal sql skills. Trying to query a blockchain you are trying to reconstruct the state of an event-sourced system by replaying all the events (ie without using CQRS). It is incredibly painful to answer even basic questions, so anyone with an analytic question to answer ends up building/using an indexer and writing the results to a sql database so they can actually use the data is a flexible way (ie they use CQRS effectively). Source: I recently wrote a blockchain indexer to answer queries because I couldn’t do what I wanted directly by querying the chain even though all the data is there. It walks a chain using RPC queries and writes the results to a postgres database.

In and of itself this doesn’t invalidate the potential niche usefulness of a blockchain btw (say you need to share data between parties who don’t trust each other without having a central party because noone would trust that party) but the blockchain doesn’t in any sense enable the “big data”, in actual fact you are managing to achieve data analysis in spite of the blockchain.

Also, it’s 2022, can we just let the term “big data” have a decent burial at this point?

A model like this is prone to devolving into forced servitude or even slavery.

Also any non trivial work requires a degree of care by the laborer to ensure quality, how does this model enforce quality? Physical force? Extending servitude?

I am far from a fan of incarceration state. However criminal justice discussions frequently ignore or discount the drawbacks of proposed solutions.

I wonder if Gelsinger is in trouble. Part of his pitch was that Intel was going to accept having lower profits than they could choose to have, for the sake of fab investments that would pay off later. The board may have said "No, Pat, pay out more dividends instead".
The post directly says that the easy path is more complicated, which just isn't true. It will dissuade new users from even trying Nix. That is a disservice.
I'll explain the argument and the counterargument.

The argument is that all companies go out-of-business at some point, eventually. With no way to extract money (e.g. dividends), their long-term value is 0. In the meantime, buying and selling is a zero-sum-game.

This argument is incorrect for two reasons:

1) Dividends are one way to extract value. Another is mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs. For example, if Musk had bought Twitter with no dividends, shareholders would make money. If Google were split into 50 mini-companies, and Microsoft acquired one of those, shareholders would make money. There are many other ways to extract value

2) Like dollars, shares act as a fiat currency of sorts. We can all keep our saving there if we all keep believing.

If a company isn't in the profit-making business, that's a place for shareholder activism, though. That can be a pool of small investors, or they can be bought by a Berkshire-Hathaway, who can reorganize them for profitability, and resell them.

Edit: to be very explicit, I think Australia needs to reconcile with its Aboriginal people. I don't know how that looks, I'm not an expert. We should probably ask NZ.

I don't believe they support SQL. They're somewhat more like pattern-matching on graphs. Most of their query language pages have compare/contrast examples with an equivalent SQL query. e.g. Neo4j's Cypher query language [1], or Apache Tinkerpop Gremlin (seriously) [2] used by Amazon Neptune.

I don't think the most popular ones support hypergraphs, although that sounds cool. I did see HypergraphDB [3] though! Need to read more about that.

Are we looking at the same one? For me, “Blink Shell 14” appears to be €139,99 in App Store. Which is really pricey.

For the normal one, there is €21,49/year subscription fee applicable, which is indeed expensive as well, as I can use iSH for free :]
Cheating on this scale doesn't (usually) happen because a thousand people independently come up with this idea. Something about this environment makes it possible for prolific cheaters to scale farther than they do elsewhere.

Rolling release; entire config stored in git, allowing for reproduceable setup - I can get a new machine the exact same state in 30 minutes with a few KB in config. Super easy rollback if I break something. Never wondering if something is gonna break with an update. Never wasting time trying to figure out how I set something up before, because it's explicitly declared in config. Standard config language for everything across the system. Ability to roll your own OS in any shape you like. Much easier package creation than RPM or debs. Decentralized composable config - you can pull from many git repos to build your system. Ability to have multiple versions of packages and libs installed at once. Immutable file system except for home folder and a few other paths. Ability to set up temporary dev environments and package installs.

With every change I make, the system only gets more stable, predictable, and reliable, which is the exact opposite of every Linux distribution I've ever user before, which had to be wiped and reinstalled every couple years, after which I'd have endless struggle sessions getting everything set up. I'll never go back.

In a few situations, actually calling .NET code from PowerShell doesn't suck, like setting persistent environment variables.

But in tons of situations actually doing anything that way involves a ton of boilerplate, and it's very clunky. It's acceptable for automation, but it's not something that feels very good to do in an interactive shell.

Stuff like Convert-FromJson is nice, but it's not as nice as whole ecosystem there the interchange format for external programs is sort of just 'understood'. It's also not streaming— it reads in a single JSON object as a string. So you need some extra boilerplate if the expectation is that you're piping output from a command that yields a stream of data.

PowerShell is great, but an environment where streaming objects in some other format between different programs, regardless of the languages they're in or the runtimes they use, would be better and closer to a real version of 'Unix pipelines but with objects'.

Then ban positive promotion of crypto, as a whole.

You can't, because you want a site that values free speech. But any site that values free speech is going to have to repeatedly answer the same basic questions on Crypto and Communism. It's going to have to repeatedly say "No, we're not trying to censor you because of chosen group X that claims to be innate, we're banning you because of actual crimes you have committed"

It's fine to argue about crimes in the sense of whether they should be illegal and whether people have actually committed them. At some point, you need to acknowledge that criminals will continue to argue their points, and that you either need to ban them or acknowledge that the same arguments will be repeated against them.

Apparently, although it's not likely to occur under most conditions, you can form a monatomic carbon C²⁺ ion by shooting a laser into very high-temperature carbon:

"Up to C⁴⁺ ions are observed."

And I guess you could also write the C²⁺ ion as "C⁺⁺" if you wanted. :-)

Prison healthcare exists but is by no means a gold standard. It just needs to be good enough to not be negligence or abuse in terms of obligations. The stories are still rare enough to warrant their own news articles.

It seems to me that the truth is somewhere in the middle. There are those who are stuck in in unfortunate financial circumstances and are not able to think of happiness and fulfilment as an immediate goal. But then there are those who actively choose not to optimise for their happiness despite being financially secure, or maybe even those who (subconsciously) are too attached to non-optimising-for-happiness goals.
