To me it seems that Risc-V is China's 'plan-B', their systems are the first to use it and SBC's do exist already in China. I've even seen IoT cores from Chinese vendors moving to Risc-V, like the popular ESP32 from Shanghai company Espressif.

The killer for nuclear is the expense and the non-zero risk of catastrophe.

No one has a real plan to deal with the costs (it's a very large problem with political issues around waste costs). Modular reactors might help with this (small or not) but who wants to spend a trillion £/$/Euros to find out they don't? Most people insist on pretending the costs aren't prohibitive and that's not really a viable solution.

No one has a real plan to deal with risks:

* like it or not you cannot compare all risks on a simple probabilitycost basis. People treat a 1/1mil chance they will lose their homes more seriously than a 1/10 chance they will get lung cancer in 40 years.

the underlying issues are not technological, they're organisational and political (We've had safe reactor designs for decades, then someone comes along and disables all the safety features to get 5% more power to secure their quarterly bonus). So you cannot solve them with a redesign at a tech level.
Or this can be used as an argument to increase scrutiny for murder conviction without body?

If you want go to this route, then you might find the cost of your cereal going up. More than 98% [1] of the water usage attributed to beef/cattle (and other animals) is an indirect measurement - it's from the estimated water usage in the production of the feed that's given to them. Cattle themselves directly use next to no water. So you'd need to add your water tax to grains and other such products.

Another interesting datum is that the average head of cattle has a water footprint of 2056 (m^3/year), while it's 2842 [2] for the average American, and 1071 for the average Chinese. There are 94 million cattle in the US, and 332 million people.

Another thing people seem to underestimate is that cars wear down a road way faster than any other form of transport. You basically never need to maintain bicycle paths unless the soil subsides.
"For most developers and even a fair number of users open source isn't a fuzzy concept but a very concrete technical term describing a very particular kind of license. "

A particular kind, yes. The OSI definition? I'd want to see something that showed objectively that this is what people think. I saw some projects I support come under fire for not being open source recently- I've been. a user and supporter of FOSS software for a long time. I didn't realize that making exclusions on who can use your software wasn't open source. If a developer doesn't want their code used in a weapons system, it doesn't meet the OSI definition.

I know it now, but then I think that leaves the software to use a term that's much less accurate. I don't think that happens because they have a profit motive and want to exploit the term open source. In fact I've seen licenses that are essentially open source except they try to stop people from making a bunch of money off of community work, including those currently controlling the project.

I feel like you’re implying that this is a bad thing to rigorously prove whether a crime has occurred?
Yeah. I have found that for message passing systems the tooling around multiple message types is more important in practice than optimizing for a single specific type. You can solve this with unions/tagged enums or some bespoke "message type metadata", but you HAVE to solve it some way. On the receiver end, you need to have a good story for routing different kinds of messages.

Thanks! Interesting info. For sure, I agree that vocabulary is important, and specialized words are extremely valuable. On the other hand, I'm intrigued by professionally written dictionaries that use a simplified English of a few thousand words in the definitions. Then, of course, sentence length and structure also come into play.

BTW, the Dale-Chall formula uses two factors to score readability: (1) Average sentence length (longer is worse), and (2) percent of "difficult" words. They've done scientific validation of this small and easy set of metrics. (See The New Dale-Chall Formula.) To determine whether a word is "difficult", they created a list of 3,000 "easy" words that 80% of 4th graders know. (It was developed to help design textbooks for children.) It's an interesting algorithm which is an easy-to-implement proxy for deeper linguistic analysis.

I've found that this very simple algorithm does a decent job of putting the easiest-to-grok definitions at the top. Meanwhile, sentences with parentheticals, lots of prepositions and passive voice are rated less readable and pushed towards the bottom of the page.
That is one hell of a waffle.

The US Constitution is not much to be jealous about. In Australia, if people are unhappy with laws, they can change the government, who in turn can change the laws. Meanwhile, in the US, the validity of laws is decided based upon the views of unelected bureaucrats appointed by past Presidents.

The US has the highly undesirable situation of (1) the possibility of a deadlocked President (because Congress does not support them) (2) the possibility of a deadlocked legislature (because SCOTUS doesn't support them).

The Australian Constitution completely sidesteps these conundrums. A bad PM can be ousted in a day. The High Court avoids getting into Constitutional rights disputes except in limited circumstances, such as undue burdens upon the implied freedom of political communication. I consider this significantly more desirable and the US offers nothing to be jealous of.
I gotta disagree here. Boredom is where all my ideas come from. Boredom is the catalyst to wondering how Xyz works.

Boredom is taking an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem, and then realising you can put a front end on that and do it as a service for people who don't have that skillset.

No boredom, no hacking.

Think of California as the furthest west extent of the Southwest for the purposes of this conversation because the colloquial usage here doesn’t really matter.

There are a handful of States that contribute to the Colorado River including Mexican States and that river (or what’s left of it by the time it gets that far) discharges into the Gulf of California.

Changing supply anywhere in that basin effectively increases water supply in the whole basin but uh, much like extra RAM and highway lanes, it’ll probably just get used up. So the question is really whether Mississippi River consumers and US taxpayers subsidize our lives out here in the American West? I suppose sucking the government teat is a time honored American tradition, just not one I’m fond of.
That's not wrong. It's something that not everybody will like, but as long as the extensions don't conflict with anything specified by POSIX, that is permitted.

To me, the decision to let POSIX mode turn off extensions that are so widely available in other implementations that they have been approved for the next version of POSIX is an odd one. There is little reason not to already use those features today: using them is not going to seriously limit your portability. If you use them, you cannot also use pdpmake's POSIX mode. The obvious conclusion there, to me, is not to avoid using those features, but to avoid using pdpmake's POSIX mode.

It's not just stigma with thalidomide - the two forms of the molecule interconvert in the body. So even a dose of 100% pure R-thalidomide (the useful kind) will invert into its mirror image, L-thalidomide (the harmful kind), and will approach a 50:50 mix. As the sibling comment says, it's still used in cases where there's little to no chance of pregnancy, because we don't know another way to make it safe.

Title is a little misdirected. It implies interruption of services was due to shutting down the datacentre to save it from a worse outage after cooling system failures.

In fact Google also made a mess of trying to provide redundancy...while only part of europe-west2-a zone was down, Google told itself to ignore working resources.

Large Language models and the reverse Turing test
Yes, I think so.

The state can never really be sure in 100% of cases so we have to take the moral high ground and keep people alive but incarcerated.

Since it doesn't deter murder, i.e. murders still take place in places with the death penalty there's no loss of law and order by keeping murders alive and serving life.

Finally, it takes years but sometimes a convicted murder reveals detains of an earlier, unsuspected crime. This provides some small closure to the victim's family.

All of that is a compromise against retribution but nothing will bring the victim back.

There are a handful of other org-based tools out there. Org apps are great for those with an org background, but these apps can be equally recommended for new-comers. What’s important is these apps serve a purpose while also respecting privacy, portability, etc.

Is this essential agriculture that can't take place in another state?

Is this water frugal agriculture appropriate for the climate and actual supply, or is it water exuberant agriculture (avocados, sugar beets, applies, apricots, walnuts, cherries, peaches, nectarines, pears, plums, prunes, figs, kiwis, etc)?

Percentages alone don't tell the whole story.
At the risk of losing even more hard-won karma points, yeah. Now that it's been a few days and not so many drive-by downvoters are likely to notice.

I don't know how things really are in the Russian economy -- propaganda is a hell of a drug, after all. All that I know for sure is that Russia has been "about to fall" for 140ish days according to the media, and it keeps not falling (and their currency is appreciating pretty well and has been the strongest major world currency for much of the summer).

However, Western economies are actually doing quite badly, and the Russian war is a significant (but not the only) contributor to that.

Europe is in a major energy crunch -- countries in the EU (especially Germany) are sufficiently worried about mass-casualty events caused by energy shortages over winter that they're taking extraordinary measures, including both reactivating long-idled coal power stations and making select train services free to encourage commuters not to use additional energy driving.

Europe is enduring high inflation -- and particularly a very tight food market which is in danger of collapse over the winter. In an effort to offset that, the EU has begun importing foodstuffs from the US in larger quantities, including some items that normally are not seen as meeting the EU guidelines.

As a result, even against the not-so-hot US dollar, the Euro has declined precipitously -- briefly crossing USD parity.

Meanwhile here in the US, we have an increasing everything-shortage, the highest inflation in four decades, and an economy in recession. America will be able to feed it's people this winter, unless it exports a lot more food to Europe, but food prices are continuing to spiral out of control upward as many foodstuffs just aren't available in sufficient quantities to satisfy demand at ~any price.

On top of all that, Western economies are trying to raise their central-bank interest rates to rein in inflation -- but the economies are all so dependant upon debt and deficit to remain afloat that monetary policy is heavily constrained (if interest rates were raised to the inflation rate -- generally the minimum intervention that would actually stop inflation -- then the interest on the debt would immediately decimate the government budget, due to catastrophic debt levels (which have little to do with the war))

So, ya, it's not like we are doing that well over here either -- but our propaganda says we are on the verge of victory -- just like Russia's propaganda says about them.
My small consulting business shares one word of its name with a larger corporation so of course I get lumped in with this corporation and I get constant inmails and other such nonsense targeting the big corp (Amazon AWS reps who claimed to talk to me the week previously to discuss the corporations future AWS usage, despite that not happening).

Best Job Boards for 2022
Yeah I'm left scratching my head at the purpose of this project.

I wrote 3 GNU makefiles from scratch (a few hundred lines each) starting in ~2016 for https://www.oilshell.org/, and regret it. I switched to Python + Ninja, and I should have just used that all along.

So I think GNU make is already pretty old and regretted, and POSIX make even more so.

CMake + Ninja seems be pretty common these days, but for my project Python works fine, and is a lot simpler. CMake is also a bad (shell-like) language, but I'm pretty sure it's better and more featureful than GNU make (i.e. you're less likely to need to switch build systems/languages due to a new requirement)

This thread has some interesting experiences ... it does seem like there needs to be a better high level language to generate Ninja

https://lobste.rs/s/7svvkz/using_bsd_make#c_bfwcyc

Also, for portability I just generate a shell script instead of Ninja (even though Ninja is extremely portable and has multiple implementations now). For tarball distributions you probably don't need incremental builds.

All the user should need to compile software is a shell, not ANY make!

Based on this comment alone (we are not provided with the name of Diehl's company), it sounds like Diehl has opted to support a blockchain-based business that complies with the law instead of one that flouts it. That is smart decision-making.

IMO, this comment suffers from a misunderstanding of the term "conflict of interest". To me, the conflict would be that Diehl is presenting himself as a source of objective reporting on the negatives surrounding "blockchain" but in fact he himself is invested in it. As readers we might question whether he is downplaying the negatives. Yet when one Googles his name, we find the opposite.
