I actually did watch the video. Don't understand me wrong: I don't have anything against a good IDE and a good debugger. I currently work with C# and use Rider.

Still, for me personally, I need to study the code and know what to expect before I start the debugger. It makes the debugging session a lot more useful and efficient. And, actually, like John Carmack said that other people told him, in a way, I do "replay" the code in my head while reading it. And a lot of times, I already figure out what the error is when reading the code. But, I will often still debug the code to verify that what I'm thinking is true: I do trust the debugger more than my brain.

Aside from that he also mentioned that nowadays software systems tend to be complex and too big to completely fit into one's mind. I agree with that, but IDEs make it easier to isolate the code in the system that is relevant for the issue at hand: you can find the call sites of a method, the use of results, the origin of input values and so on. I don't know how good IDEs are currently for C/C++, but those things are standard for C# and Java. And with those tools, it really is not that hard to get a rough view on where and how a piece of code is used in a big system. Obviously, this will be easier in a well-designed system than in a spaghetti-code system.

It is important to know all the contexts in which the code you are debugging is used. Often people are focused on the one specific context in which a user saw a bug, and they focus on that, start a debugging session for that, fix the code for that and break the usage in the other context... because they do not take the time to read and understand the code. And that is also where unit/integration tests come into play.

So, nothing against the use of good IDEs and debuggers, but always be sure to understand the code you are changing.

Because ZFS is not supported on OpenBSD. In fact he does mention in the beginning of the article that he was surprised that none of the NAS related file-systems are not supported by OpenBSD.

On the other side, ZFS is an overly complicated behemoth, that wants direct access to the block device. Meanwhile `muxfs` works with any already existing file-system (local or remote) and just provides the checksums. So both serve different use-cases.

OSS is seen as a way to escape the rat race, either as a better job or as some form of passive income.

It's no wonder developers complain about not paying "customers", their goal was money from the get go.

This is why OSS can't be a replacement for paid software and companies should rely more on paid software - whether open or closed; paying money, after all, is nothing but a way to recognise the value that went into a piece of work.

OSS relies on a few exceptional individuals (Salvatore certainly being one of the enlightened ones - as well as someone that found a way to monetize) but it doesn't scale to your average Joe.
If the question is what energy production method should be used it is certainly not. The Green Party in particular did probably more harm to the environment and damaged or geo-strategic position by making us dependent on foreign Gas and by extending the economic viability of open-pit mines. We were leaders in nuclear technology and research and could be energy independent by now.

My impression is that the advancements in cgi has let producers and directors get sloppy in planning. “We’ll fix it in post” feels evident in the final product to a very high degree.

But worse, it lets producers “work around” actors schedules by having them film at different times and locations for the same scene.

I have only two issues with the `muxfs` implementation as it stands:

(1) (And the largest problem) is that it requires stable inodes in order to tie the checksums with the actual files. This means (and it's already stated in the article) you can't copy / move / overwrite any of the underlying files without losing the checksums. (Basically it also removes the possibility of accessing one of the mirrors via NFS, FUSE, or anything that doesn't have stable inodes.)

(2) (Based on my reading of the article) it doesn't seem to hold a "log" or "sequence" to identify which of the two mirrors are ahead or if they are in sync. In case of a disconnect / reconnect you need to manually tell `muxfs` which is the "newer" one (by using a `sync` before being able to mount it).

(I haven't tested it though, I'm running Linux, but I'm quite interested because just last week I thought "why doesn't one implement a FUSE file-system to add checksums and thus prevent bitrot". `muxfs` also adds mirroring.)

You can add empty lines before and after blocks. The only thing that matters is the indentation. If you see code without empty lines separating different steps, that's pretty badly written Python.

I disagree. It feels like a painful return to early 2000s animated phpBB forum emoticons.
There is the muxfs audit subcommand though that does that. I guess the author was trying to say that it shouldn't be the only way to do it, as that opens the door for silently returning corrupted data in-between runs, so you start pondering how low you should set the interval between audit runs etc. I guess with automatic checks on every access you can feel safe running the audit every other month or so.

> Say every hard link to the file […]

Ehr, no. Again, there are no files in the conventional sense in UNIX file systems. There are collections of disk blocks pointed to by an i-node and one or more directory entries pointing to an i-node. It is possible to have an i-node with 0 directory entries linking to it as well as multiple unrelated (i.e. not hard links but truly disjoint directory entries) directory entries referencing the same i-node; both are treated as file system errors by fsck and will be fixed up at the next fsck run. Yet, both scenarios can be easily reproduced (without corrupting the file system!) in a file system debugger and live on for a while.

> […] a descendant of a directory that blocks traversal. No subdirectories of those […]

Directory entries in a UNIX file system do not ascend nor descend, they are linked into one or more directories whether they form a hierarchy or not.

A directory might be «protected» by, say, 700 permissions obscuring a particular directory entry, but if a hard link to the same i-node exists in a another unrelated directory outside the current hierarchy that has more permissive access, say 755, access to data blocks referenced to by an i-node has already leaked out.

> Simply because you have a tool doesn’t mean you have to skip the step of trying to understand the code.

Exactly. Maybe that was not clear from my comment, but my point is basically that using the most fancy tools is not gonna help a lot when you don't start with getting an understanding of the code.
Just watched the 3D Blu-ray this evening and the introductory sequence was indeed of appallingly bad CGI quality ("Windows 98 screensaver" indeed), as was the bus-wrecking beast which came off like a rejected design from Monsters Inc., and really the entire first act as a whole was just really rickety. In that sense the poor CGI was the symptom of a more systemic disease. Fortunately Earth-838 has lots of welcome character surprises and the ending redeemed a lot. Not Raimi's best, but hardly his worst.

>But if that attitude becomes more widespread than it already is, companies will then create or prioritize jobs categories that assume no agency on the part of employees. These jobs are both more depressing, more subject to automation, and lower paying than the ones that expect personal agency.

Companies have a strong preference for this kind of job. They need no additional encouragement to create them and havent since the beginning of the 19th century.

Ironically, I think they tend to be a lot less subject to automation even if the companies clearly want it more. Amazon automates the hell out of its warehouses and for the remaining tasks it tries to robotize humans.
I don't know yet, whatever feels easier. In Windows, the GUI is made so far with code and RC files.
As someone who recently switched to opening curly brackets on new lines and did some Python coding last week I kind of agree - you either put in empty lines everywhere or you have a continuous block of code through all scopes. It's a matter of preference and you can still work with it of course, but I've learned to appreciate reducing code density.

And regarding the syntax, using curly brackets like in C-like languages only takes one more symbol per scope and the difference in readability (where a scope ends etc.) is bigger for me. Also while indentation in Python kind of works as syntax it's not ideal as it can lead to literally invisible syntax errors, and imho the syntax isn't strict enough as Python allows you to have a different indentation width in every single scope.

That said it's still a great language for little experiments. Similar to Bash, despite Bash being not the best designed language to put it mildly.
And yet I notice that you separated the paragraphs in your post using semantic whitespace rather than "BEGIN PARAGRAPH" / "END PARAGRAPH" or something similar, and it seems perfectly readable to me.

I worry how accurate it is. An error of just a few grams overcharging a customer will get Amazon in trouble with regulators. While just a few grams less cuts out the whole profit margin.

Remember that the Amazon weighing shelves have to deal with someone putting produce across two shelves (ie. A an apple balanced so it is partially weighed by one shelf and partially by another).

Since the shelves are large (ie. 10 foot tall), they also have to deal with the buffeting air from air conditioners in the shop, while still detecting someone taking a 5 gram SIM card pack...
It's netlib's FORTRAN 77 LAPACK distribution (over 15 years old), mechanically translated into Common Lisp. LAPACK isn't just one thing; there are multiple distributions of it, and the reference distribution is versioned, frequently updated, and no longer written in FORTRAN 77. So it's a bit erroneous to call LAPACK "well tested"; it's roughly like saying Python (2.5) is super well tested because half the programming world uses Python (3.x), Cython, Unladen Swallow, and/or Numba now.

The above quote is suggesting to minimize dependence on a mechanical translation of 15 year old code that's solely used as a fallback to the native (albeit foreign) routines. There is already a way to load a full, native LAPACK library in MAGICL (including netlib's reference, but also e.g. Apple's Accelerate framework), and that's always available precisely because of the quality of modern LAPACK distributions.

To be clear, the article discusses how ~10 lines of code (+ 3000 words of mathematical justification) can allow an existing LAPACK function that works on one data type to become useful for another data type. That hardly seems like NIH to me.

A more nuanced discussion is elsewhere in this thread.

The Lenna Story
The true "battle" of the currencies seems to be inflation against deflation.

Were inflation makes people spend more now, because tomorrow the € or $ will buy you less, deflation makes you spend less now and also less tomorrow, because the day after that it will buy you even more.

So all those who wish the environment well and want us all to stop consumerism... we really need a deflationary currency to force us in that direction.

I don’t know if their position is quite so secure as Intel’s used to be.

Production can continue to scale up, and there’s massive spending to increase US capability due to the Taiwan situation. Apple obviously still have the money to throw around but I’m sure TSMC want to tread incredibly carefully here with regards to making their products available to more customers. Being an Apple-exclusive fab is lucrative in the short term but encourages your other customers to look for supply elsewhere, which is an existential risk to your dominance.

"Anything with a sample size of one is essentially meaningless."

So then how do you judge works of art when almost universally there is only one sample of an artwork? By definition, each is unique.

Is then judging Da Vinci's Mona Lisa a waste of time? If so, then why haven't we scrapped these old decaying paintings many years ago?

The answer is obvious and simple: an object - or anything for that matter - whether it's one or many - possesses intrinsic qualities and values - excellence, etc. - and it's those intrinsic values that we're discussing here.

These are metaphysical concepts and cannot be simply processed as numerical statistics. (They're 'simple notions' and thus cannot divided further, nor processed mathematically.)
>Of course this targets middle class and poor people because the rich don’t keep money in a bank, they keep it in assets.

This is a classic internet myth. The rich have more of everything. They have more houses, more cars, more yachts, more stocks, more bonds and obviously more money.

The idea that the wealthy exclusively hold assets is such an obvious lie, first of all, the rich keep 10% of their wealth in liquid assets that means money as a general rule of thumb for the sake of speculation. Second, as interest rates go below liquidity preference but at least zero, people start holding a bigger and bigger portion of their wealth in liquid assets. During the pandemic 40% or more of the money held at banks was in demand deposits, aka checking accounts, hundreds of billions of liquidity, enough to basically make any bank insolvent with the snap of a finger, hence the need for excessive amounts of QE even though banks don't want to lend out any more money.

For some strange reason people parrot this and then think that the poor have all the money despite the fact that most of them are in debt and most rich people have millions or hundreds of millions in their bank accounts and even more in assets. When you argue for a negative interest rate, people are going to shout how this ruins poor people because they don't have any stocks and most of their savings are held liquid when that is completely wrong, most poor people's wealth is their own body and the income it lets them derive from work, which is almost entirely illiquid. What poor people actually need is an opportunity to use their most prized asset and a negative interest rate doesn't harm them in any shape or form. It is only the rich that keep millions in checking accounts that really feel the pain.
My hopes for the future are the same.

However, until we get there, the current system is quite good at maintaining a stable society with increasing gains in technological development and social welfare. It is far from perfect or ideal, and it is full of lies, but until we have something better that is tangible and real, and not just theoretical, I wouldn't touch it.
Many American credit cards don't support some of the security features required in other countries. For example they might not support the card itself knowing your available balance so that small transactions like parking can be done entirely offline, and the parking garage collecting a cryptographic proof from your card that you have $3.50 available in your account. Remember that to do this, your card has to offer such proof in whatever currency the parking garage uses.
Most people still don’t own cars. Far from it. The key must be to ensure that billions of people don’t need to pass through the 1950-2000 infrastructure dead-end that e.g the US took, by betting on the car as the transportation mode of choice.
