This reminds me of Rodney Brooks' (et al) work on Subsumption architecture, which I find quite enjoyable.

A subset of the AI group at MIT and also some non-MIT people (eg, R.Beer, L.Steels) during the 1980's produced many [similar] papers that I really enjoyed.

Really, ALL of the autonomous mobile robot people working with subsumption were pretty fantastic.

This is also true in Rust for the same reason, arguably more true since Rust's built-in array type knows how big it is - but the observation in both languages programmers who want indexing write v[i] because that's the natural way to express what you meant, what's different isn't the frequency of need, only the language defaults.

It's true that origin is not protected but it is a thing and essentially refers to the production method/recipe/style. So it means "Dijon style" mustard.
So I'm just a casual pleb who enjoys mustard on various sandwiches and such.

I've only tried a small number of Dijon-labelled mustards, but they've all been radically different. I'd say the only thing they had in common was being mustards and the texture.

That said, mustard is indeed a must for a lot of things.
I miss how it's not more about connecting me with other people. Rather forcing people content they could engage. UX which main purpose is to keep users spend more time on the platform. For example, I love Strava, there are similar-minded people sharing their photos, activities that I can easily follow and get new ideas for trips and so on. Chronological feed without any special algorithm. Like hey, give me good search options and I can search content for my own.

From a user perspective it's also at odds with the public image from the history of the company even if it's been a historically good platform for other companies to develop defense simulations and training tools with.

The cost of transmission is partly a factor of peak usage.

Like if you build a highway and everyone commutes at exactly 9-5 then that dictates how many lanes you need.

In places with air-con, the distributed solar reduces the peak on a daily and yearly basis.

Distributed batteries also help with this.

In grid lingo these are called "non-wires alternatives" or "non-transmission alternatives"

It isn't unusual for a big circuit board to have 1000+ test points on it. A big machine will connect to all the test points and measure all the impedances at high frequency - this allows you to easily detect signal reflections from a short or open circuit somewhere it shouldn't be, and also detect if a chip has a loose pin.

The machines are expensive, but the whole test can be done inside 1 second or so, which makes the process pretty cheap.

Famously, those same test points are what made installing modchips in early xboxes and playstations so easy - you just have pins touch a few of the same test points that were used for the factory test to override some signals to get your code running during bootup.
Yes but what the users actually associate with the WinXP time period isn't the look&feel and UX of Win NT 3.1 nor the look&feel and UX of Win11, it is the very specific look& feel and UX of Windows XP which didn't really change much in later SPs.

And yeah, sure, a machine running XP in 2014 (or later, people didn't stop using WinXP because Microsoft officially dropped support) isn't really retro, but the original argument was "WinXP era" machines which at least i'd put them into the early to midlate 2000s, when WinXP was the mainstream OS, before Vista started being used by the mainstream.

PCs are very backwards compatible and unlike a ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64, they are highly modular, so using edge cases (like WinXP being supported until 2014) isn't really that representative - by 2014 people had moved on to Win8.x and Win10 release was just some months away. Meanwhile almost every PC from 2003 or so, which originally would run only WinXP, can run Windows 8 - but aside from curiosity, nobody would really do that in practice.

But still despite this vagueness, people do see those older PCs as retro. Even personally, despite growing up with XT clones, i cannot see the Athlon64 PC i bought in 2003 as anything else than a retro PC, even if it can run some modern indie games (at like 2 FPS :-).

Sorry, I don't understand. If the user can't see "zarro boogs" on the page, why would they Google "zarro boogs?" And if they don't, how are they going to find the legacy of comments on StackOverflow, for example, that would tell them that message means no bugs were found but can be caused by a misconfigured backing store?

> So do you think maybe there's a lesson in here about building a culture around being opaque to outsiders?

In an era where global text search utilities can clear up any confusion within 5 seconds, I don't think that error message teaches us a lesson one way or the other on the question of opacity. It's not a choice I would make for my own project to maximize adoption, but I've never gotten the sense it hurts bugzilla's adoption (the biggest competition I've seen for bugzilla these days are options like Jira that don't require self-hosting the installation, which is a far more significant feature axis than whether the error message is funny).

Exactly. You worked on a training environment for the M777 howitzer. Better training means less chance that they hit the nearby friendly unit or civilians. If they can deliver accurate fire more quickly under pressure that means less time for the enemy to kill friendlies as well. Better trained soldiers is a win for all parties that are not the enemy.

I believe it’s more about truffle’s llvm interpreter (which is perhaps the successor of this project), but one motivation is that many scripting languages (python, ruby) use C (and fortran) libraries extensively through FFI.

Truffle can give these scripting languages a huge boost in performance (TrufflyRuby is 3x faster than the second fastest implementation), but the JVM “doesn’t like to” rely on FFI all that much - and also, truffle is polyglot with the ability to optimize between different languages. So by creating an LLVM interpreter, ruby or python calling into that can be also optimized by e.g. inlining, in certain cases bettering the performance compared to native FFI.

Other than becoming truly cross-platform, running on top of a singular runtime gives it the ability to observe these parts as well (which in itself a huge advantage because the JVM has some killer observability tools), so for example project loom might be applicable to a python script using C libs for IO, putting the whole on a virtual thread and making its blocking calls unblocking magically.

I don't even care much about mustard or live in France (though I am French) and I knew it just from reading French news months ago.

But I've heard so much disinformation in the last weeks when I was back at home with my family, many aging people (not especially lacking education, and of various social status but just "normal" people) who seem to get most of their information from random posts on Facebook, that I've lost any remaining trust in democracy (or at least direct democracy as many people advocate today) as a viable system for the coming years.

Democracy needs a well-informed population making informed decisions, but what I see is the total opposite. If these people (who make up the majority of the population in our aging society) were to take decisions themselves, we would likely ally with Russia to finish the war against the "maybe-not-as-bad-but-still-very-bad" Ukrainians to restore mustard production and make gas flow again since there is no exceptional drought or any climate change at all, since summer last year was not so warm. Or some other nonsense.

Sorry for the rant, but my reflections were actually triggered by the comments I heard back then regarding the mustard shortage. I had never realised how misinformed people were.

There is no 'from the inside' in Australia, what media could you possibly have accessed before that you cannot now?
Even more, what media external to Australia provides a better or more accurate insight about Australia than the Australian media?

Obviously, this is in the taste buds of the beholder. I (English) find English mustard has a nice kick, but it's definitely not strong. It's nowhere near as strong as chilli sauce, for example.

I do also like the flavour of American mustard, you just have to use very different quantities. I would recommend something like 5-10x the amount of US mustard to UK mustard. A jar of Colmans mustard should last you a year or so.
> Federation is a solution to a problem no one actually cares about. Obviously "no one" here is somewhat hyperbolic but so few people actaully care about this you may as well round it to zero.

I think this conflates two things: the number of people who are familiar with a problem as a discussion topic (yes, that’s very niche in this case), and the number of people who are affected by a problem and might be receptive to a solution to it if one was available and understandable to them.
> OK, so we're drawing an arbitrary line of what we read and what we don't.

Imo the line is not arbritary. You are including an library/framework for a purpose. The code path for this purpose should be explored.

> A basic web application at this point is going to import at least 10k lines of other people's code. A React app probably uses millions.

I think it is a valid assumption to increase the trust in frameworks with a giant user base. React is from Facebook, isn't it? So I would have read the path _and_ random internals to picture the trustworthiness.

> There's just no way around this. We all trust code we haven't read and have to continue doing it.

It shouldn't be black-and-white thinking. When introducing a _new_ dependency I see myself responsible for estimating the trustworthiness.
But yes, with an increasing amount of dependencies the process of updating such needs more effort as well.
But then, we can postpone such updates, if the application under development is safety critical...

> Reading code doesn't even guarantee finding security flaws. Most of us aren't security researchers, and none of us can understand an entire project's source code the first time we read it.

Well, one should be able to judge about the workings imo. Otherwise maintainability can get painful in the long run. So better grasp it before deciding to build upon it.

That's unfortunate! For the project I'm working on, we've "solved" that by showing the number of test and the difference to the number of tests that ran on main.

I work in ML research and you're correct that none of this is new or surprising. All pitfalls are common knowledge in the field and not specific to security. But the security industry is still lagging behind here and the paper does give some nice examples for how these pitfalls can easily be stumbled into if you are not careful during the creation of datasets, training and evaluation. Curiously though, their Android App risk example lists the origin of the app under spurious correlations, whereas in practice any careful human would also immediately rank an app from a random chinese store as a greater risk than one from the google play store. This is part of the problem: There is a large gap between academically worthwile discussions and the stuff that works in the real world.

I was a proton user for about 5 years. Highly recommend it. But it's not perfect.

Proton is great, but getting non-steam games on it is about as fiddly as the rest of Wine/Lutris/Crossover/etc. Especially with older games, alternate launchers, etc.

If you're fine with having a slightly smaller selection of games (mostly AAA suffers), then it's great. If you're into mod-heavy games, Windows still fares better IMO.

I put Win11 on my new machine to get more bang for buck with gaming, but I despise the OS in its current state. Purely from a DE UX perspective it doesn't seem very productive with its more limited shortcuts.
