With closed-source binaries the argument for static linking is the strongest, IMHO, or at least shipping all the required shared libraries and LD_LIBRARY_PATH that in. The amount of times I've had to muck about to make a five-year old game work on a current system is somewhat bonkers, and I would never expect someone unfamiliar with shared library details (i.e. a normal non-tech person, or even a tech person not familiar with C/Linux) to figure all of that out.
> you'd rather every single binary that has it statically linked is updated, rather than a single shared library file?

Yes! A thousand times yes. I'd rather reinstall every single compromised program than deal with the ridiculous complexity of dynamic linking.
you only need to relink, not recompile. i think oasis caches artifacts so there's no overhead.

Photoshop CS6 is $700 ($1000 Extended), subscription is $10/month including Lightroom. So you'd need a lot of 'amortization' to make the standalone version a better choice.

I think your second point is moot personally, forcing students to break the law to obtain Photoshop is not a solution.

I don't like subscriptions personally, but most people do not care and it has definitely made Photoshop more affordable for the average person. This is reflected in Adobe' stock price.

It's easy to trigger some fusion in a D-T mix. As in, an enterprising high school student can do it on his tabletop with parts mostly scavenged from tube televisions.

The problem is that the fuel mass that undergoes fusion has a lot of mechanisms for energy loss, which mean that you need to continously apply a lot of energy into the system to keep it going.

"Ignition" refers to achieving conditions where the energy output of fusion matches the energy loss from the hot spot. In this situation, it is no longer necessary to feed in energy to keep the reaction going, so long as there is sufficient fuel.

There’s also hammerfs. I’ve not used that though.

I think the complaints levelled against ZFS is a little unfair though. I agree that there are more elegant ways to implement ZFS but actually what we have already works really damn well. And the comments about the CLI being hard to use is weird because having used a hell of a lot of different file systems over the years (including BtrFS), I’ve found ZFS to be remarkably easy.

ZFS has saved me from a number of hardware failures. If it really were as bad as the comments on here have made out, it’s have lost data several times over.
I think both of you are "wrong". I'll explain.

The original trigger for the Hong Kong 2019 protests was a bill that allowed the government to approve ad-hoc extraditions to any other jurisdiction. On the surface this bill was 100% within the affairs of the local HKSAR government, and nobody in other parts of China was affected or really gave a damn whether it passed or not.

Carrie Lam, then Chief Executive, tried to get the bill passed by pulling Beijing into the picture. Given the tensions between Beijing and the common Hong Kong people at the time, it quickly escalated to a "national security" issue.

Note that, eventually, the original proposed extradition bill died a slow painful death. The original bill was a local issue, it failed, and hence the 3.5% rule held. (Hence it is incorrect to state that the protest failed. It wasn't a complete failure in this sense. Pyrrhic victory though.)

The independence movement (if you can call it that) obviously failed and protesters were rounded up by the hundreds (lots of riots trials pending). I don't know whether the failure is just due to the huge denominator of the whole Chinese population though. It's certainly a factor, but if you ask me, the stakeholders are not only all the Chinese people, but also international forces that have a vested interest in keeping the status quo in Hong Kong. Much like how the stance of USA influences Taiwan's status.

While I generally support the right to repair, I'm not sure that forcing 100% ownership works in all cases. There are just plenty of cases I can imagine where it's better for the manufacturer to continue to own something and lease it to people.

Basically, leasing something encourages the manufacturer to build for the long haul avoiding obsolescence. If the manufacturer is forced to sell things outright and then provide parts for fixing the devices, well, that just encourages them to skrimp on engineering so that parts will break sooner and they'll be able to make money on the fixable parts.
Libya did it but I doubt US wants to compare themselves to the late Gaddafi.
It's _mostly_ talking about the speed of the surrounding tools. They wrote a package manager that speaks NPM (presumably in C++ or zig instead of JS) which unsurprisingly completely dominates NPM in performance.

The other stuff he benches is built into the runtime ... HTTP requests, copying files, and a webserver Bun ships with. Presumably the Bun team wrote these tools with performance in mind, but the article doesn't compare features. I'm skeptical the webserver in particular is at feature parity with the ones he benched against, which makes the numbers look pretty watery to me.

It does not address the runtimes of JavaScriptCore (Webkit/Bun) vs V8 (node/deno) which, as you pointed out, are probably very similar.

I think often the binaries will have been compiled against slightly different versions. With dynamic linking, I can swap 1.0.1 for 1.0.2 or 1.0.3 without issue. The hash would require an exact match, which is likely rare.
UK heatwave: Final day of 'extreme' heat with thunder on way
The whole microloan program has been hyped for over a decade now, but as this story shows, the outcome more often than not has been more like mafia loansharking than actual economic development under the entrepreneurial free-market model. This can be explained via the notion that "enterpreneurs without lawyers end up getting screwed over more often than not" and the people who get these microloans just can't afford to hire lawyers to protect themselves.

While it's a right-wing trope, the microloan program has been heavily promoted by the likes of the Soros-Omidyar crowd, with the typical humanitarian patina covering what's really just predatory capitalism:

"We have seen what microloans can do at the individual level and are excited about bringing that same opportunity to small and medium businesses," said Jim Bunch, Director of Investments at Omidyar Network.

Here's another expository write-up of the phenomenon, in Cambodia. Looks very similar to India, Mexico, etc.

Even people with just a few dollars to spare are going to microcredit Web sites and, with a click of the mouse, lending money to rice farmers in Ecuador and auto mechanics in Togo... Wealthy philanthropists, banks, and online donors aren’t the only ones fascinated with microcredit. The United Nations designated 2005 as the International Year of Microcredit..."

Those were often done, but other options that increased engagement were having actors do their own stunts (not always appropriate) or casting stunt workers into bigger parts.
And many who live under capitalism still read the Animal Farm connecting the themes to their own experience of being an exploited worker, rather then that of the Soviet Union (which the book was obviously written about). But that is not the point. George Orwell never thought our only choice was capitalism or soviet style communism. He obviously sympathized with the animal revolution but hated the results. A real worker liberation is not when you switch out one oppressor for another, but when the workers seize the means of production for them self.

Similarly I don’t think the authors of Severance are advocating for a Soviet style communism as an alternative to capitalism. In fact I don’t see them advocating for any alternative (at least not during the 1st season). Simply they are stating that our current system has issues.

This is why recalls exist, for manufacturers to fix their broken things they failed to fix before releasing to the public.
Among the programs with good support for extended file attributes are any archivers based on the FreeBSD libarchive (e.g. bsdtar), rsync, samba and the Linux coreutils.

However, when instead of being compiled from sources, precompiled binaries are used, one must verify if the support for extended attributes has not been disabled, as it may happen in some misguided Linux distributions.

Besides such precompiled binaries where the xattr support had been disabled, I have also seen various GUI-based file managers that lacked support for xattr and which could strip them during copy or move operations.

The older tar and cpio archive formats do not support extended attributes, and many older tar programs support xattr, but by using tar or pax format extensions that may be incompatible with other tar implementations.

While it is important to be aware of these caveats, otherwise you may have unpleasant surprises, like I had many years ago, when I was copying files between different users via /tmp, and I could not understand where the files were losing metadata (and also their timestamps were truncated), until realizing that /tmp was on tmpfs, and copying to /tmp was silently stripping the extended attributes and truncating the timestamps (the latter might no longer be true today), with a few precautions it is possible to use extended attributes without problems on Linux and FreeBSD.

Before using extended attributes, I had also used a database file, but that had the disadvantage of being updated continuously all the time, even for file operations that did not change the file content, e.g. when renaming or moving files.

> The point is that it can’t be simulated on any lattice of any density. It doesn’t matter how fine the lattice is compared to the sensitivity of the measurement.

It feels like you want to do sth like: first discretize (choose a lattice), then simulate (do calculations on this lattice).

I want to do the opposite: first simulate (do calculations on a continuous domain), then discretize (restrict my results to a lattice).

> For your case you showed, it would be like if x^2 simply didn’t exist on a lattice, and couldn’t be calculated by a computer no matter how much memory you threw at the problem.

So the functions we're talking about do exist on continuous domains - but they don't have a corresponding definition on a lattice?

Couldn't we embed a lattice in the continuous domain, then restrict the function along the embedding, thus getting a definition on a lattice?

Unless it's not possible to embed the lattice in a continuous domain - then my reasoning breaks.

Is that only that good libraries should correctly use semver (i.e. be backward-compatible unless they change the major version), or is there complexity somewhere else?

My feeling is that dynamic linking is a pain because sometimes one needs, say, 1.2.5 for some part of the code and 1.3.1 for another part, and they are not compatible. Which hints towards the library author having messed up something, right?
