Happy user here. Congratulations to the company. Would be cool if they invested some into autofill functionality for their Android app because that doesn't seem to work as it should.
The vfork syscall first appeared in BSD 3.0 and did it the other way around. When calling vfork, the parent is suspended until the child terminates or calls exec. The child is given read-only access to the parent's memory space, or it traps on an attempt to write.

This is how they optimised it in the days before COW, by fully preserving the intended behavioural semantics of fork/exec. You shouldn't modify memory in the child and the OS therefore shouldn't copy the memory space.
That still doesn't give any sort of credence to your statement that people are willing to endure economic hardship to ensure humanity's survival. Survival of their family, sure, but even that is to a limit.
Cheating seems easy to deal with. The players should go into a dressing room with supervision. They take off all of their clothes and don new clothing for the event. They then go out and play. They also probably need to be accompanied to the bathroom with an observer.

Of course, this all sounds crazy. But it's not that different than what athletes have to do (if you've ever had to stand around naked waiting to pee into a bottle after a race you know what I'm talking about).

Yes, they still could have some kind of in-body thing (tiny earpiece, or weirder thing in some other part of their body), so they probably have to also be scanned for electronics (or, the game has to take place in a location where there is no way to electronically communicate).

Man who famously said the same thing about EVs, even after 2 million had been sold.

Said it was just Obama making stuff up.

> LET ME BEGIN WITH A DISCLAIMER: I am neither promoting
electric vehicles nor denigrating them. I simply observe that the
rational case for accepting EVs has been undermined by unrealistic market forecasts and a disregard for the environmental effects
involved in producing and operating these vehicles. • Unrealistic forecasts have
been the norm. In 2008, Deutsche Bank predicted that EVs would claim 7 percent of the U.S. market by 2016; in 2010, Bloomberg Businessweek put the 2016
share at 6 percent. But actual sales came to 158,614 units, just 0.9 percent of the
record 17.55 million vehicles sold that year. • In his 2011 State of the Union address,
then–U.S. president Barack Obama called for 1 million EVs on the road by 2015,
and a concurrent report by the Department of Energy claimed that the country’s production capacity in that year would reach 1.2 million units. But the 2015
total came to 410,000 units, representing just 0.15 percent of all vehicles on the
road, and sales of U.S. brands reached about 100,000 cars. • And this triumph of
hope over experience continues. The worldwide total of EVs on the road reached
2 million units in 2016. If you plot the trajectory of the global stock of EVs since
the beginning of their sales to the year 2016, you will see that the equation that
best fits the data (a fourth-order polynomial) projects about 32 million units in
2025.

There was 4.2 Million EVs sold in the first half of this year. If sales remains entirely flat then between now and 2025 then just the cars sold over the next 4 years will top his prediction for installed base.

Sales won't remain flat.

From the abstract:

> This study provides factual information about the animal protein contribution to total proteins compatible with meeting all nutrient-based recommendations at no additional cost and shows that it varies between 45% and 60% depending on the group of adults considered.

TL;DR, if you replace animal protein with non-animal protein, you're probably losing out on other nutrients. Also:

> In Model Set#2, for women and men over 65 years (C and E), decreasing animal protein contribution to total proteins below 55% and 60% respectively led to protein levels below recommend levels.

This suggests that non-animal proteins are not used by the body as efficiently as animal proteins.

I don't think this means your protein must by animal-based, but if you're substituting vegan options, you probably need more protein than you think, and also need additional vitamin supplements, as well.
If I were saying "bats in southern China with SARS-like viruses are evidence that there are no bats closer to Wuhan with SARS-like coronaviruses", I would be committing the fallacy that you're accusing me of. But that's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying that there's no evidence of any bats closer to Wuhan with SARS-like coronaviruses. And I'm saying that, while it's indeed possible that these hypothetical bats exist - just as it's "possible" that COVID was transmitted to Wuhan via a teapot halfway between here and Mars; that COVID unicorns exist on an undiscovered island somewhere and one sneezed particularly hard and its germs ended up in Wuhan; or that COVID spontaneously formed one day on the apples in your friend's refrigerator in Wuhan - it's, again, not spin for a scientist to refrain from couching everything in uncertainty because of the infinite evidenceless hypotheticals that might disprove it; this is how every single positive statement in science functions. It is indeed correct, scientifically speaking, that there are no apples at your friend's home where you found no apples [based on all available empirical evidence]. And it is indeed correct, scientifically speaking, that Wuhan is 1,000 miles away from the nearest wild bats with SARS-like coronaviruses [based on all available empirical evidence].
You are still arguing the extreme version of a position of the argument, when I was arguing for the less radical side.

> Another classic is the “joins are slow” argument

Along with the "indexes slow down INSERTs and UPDATEs" argument that you touch on. I mean, it is literally true that indexes make writes slightly slower, and an excessive quantity of indexes (which I have seen) can slow down writes enough to cause problems. But - in general - the slowdown is irrelevant compared with the overhead of querying a table that contains 2 billion rows using, oh, I don't know, a table scan because you don't have even a single index (I have also seen this).
Look.

Sure, a standard exists, but that by itself isn't a great user experience. If you actually try to use something like a YubiKey you end up having to register multiple keys with each site to deal with lost key (assuming the site allows that in the first place). The you have to remember which keys correspond to which sites, and remember to get your backup key out each time you sign up somewhere new , etc.

Google, Apple, etc are building on WebAuthN in order to allow a trusted third party to "sync" the keys, solving the major usability hurdle for most people (as with all things security related, there's an obvious tradeoff in injecting a trusted third party, but for the vast majority of people that tradeoff still results in a significant net risk reduction). I assume Bitwarden is angling to build out their own version of something in this space.

So many people here praising Bitwarden. I were using multiple password managers, but stuck with 1Password. Their last update is atrocious. I tried switching to Bitwarden and forced myself to live with it for 3 months. I gave up when it lost generated password. Apparently it is quite common with Bitwarden and bad connections, which I have a lot travelling to remote locations where I actually need to generate passwords.

Both app and server need so much polish. Like this is literally like touching something from 00s and everyone seems to be content with it.

I truly hope Bitwarden would put money to better their app and technology, focusing on User Experience, not on feature checklist.
Thanks for posting. I tried it with stock and bond ETFs SPY and IEF and got the result

"If you had invested $20/week evenly in these assets for the past 5 years, you'd have invested $5,200.00 and have $5,638.09 today, a return of 1.1X."

Usually that would be expressed as a return of 10%, and the return would be reported to the nearest percent. It would nice to allow the user to specify unequal weightings, say $15/week in SPY and $5 in IEF.

A general problem with showing the results of a dollar-cost averaging investment plan is that it gives more weight to later returns in the period, since that is when the most money was invested. It's true that people who are starting from $0 and saving regularly from earnings face this risk. Another simulation that is worth showing is having the full amount invested from the beginning.

I assume you are familiar with https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/ , a comprehensive investment simulator (that is not a mobile app).

First of all, the most important point is, that by switching from using the chain

fossil fuels -> heat -> usage

to the chain:

renewable source -> electricity -> usage

We need 2/3rds less of energy, as e.g. heat pumps are more than 3x efficient at heating than burning things, electric cars are 3x as efficient as ICE vehicles and so on. That reduced the problem considerably.

And then, we of course need an exponential growth of the deployment of renewables, which absolutely should be doable, especially in solar, which is mostly about manufacturing capacity, it is relatively easy to deploy it in the needed numbers.
for me at least it's less about control and more about comprehension, and the hidden costs of a lack thereof

Thank you for your post. I am really excited about lunatic.

Do you have any web socket support? Web sockets that are serviced by actors make for a really nice programming model.
The most important thing I’ve learned as a dev is to be comfortable in a space I know nothing about, and to have the confidence to know “I know nothing now, but I will eventually reach the solution and fully understand it”. It’s a process. You start out groping blindly in the dark for a handhold. When you find the first one, suddenly others start falling into place. Then there’s a tiny pinhole of light that you start working towards. And all of a sudden you’re in full daylight, striding from ledge to ledge fearlessly. It’s the most beautiful thing about programming; to do this over and over again.
the all-or-nothing approach is prevalent in both camps. i’ve worked in places where a straightforward optimization could not be implemented because it would require the developers to break from the orm-only standard they’d set.

i’ve also worked places where orm were held as such anathema that any orm proposal was dismissed out of hand without any sort of discussion.
This does not look like SLIME. It seems to be just copying the text from one text buffer and pasting it to another Vim buffer which is running a REPL. That is not what SLIME is really! I can't even call this a poor imitation of SLIME because it is not SLIME in any sense of what SLIME is. There is no Swank server this connects to. There is no understanding of Lisp's s-expressions. It would happily copy any random text into any random REPL and call it job done! It is weird that they have chosen the name "SLIME" for vim-slime project when it is not SLIME in any way.
My first thought when reading the title: "I wonder what livestock group subsidized this."

It's strange that in his list of possible solutions to keep e-mail spam free, there is zero mentioning of hashcash [1].

No, that is not a shitty crypto coin. It's just a computational proof that your computer spend some seconds on hashing, which is fine if you send 1-to-1 emails like real people do, but not if you are a spammer who bought a file with 6 million leaked e-mail addresses.

By default, yes, FKs and joins. However, I tend to work on high scale systems generally backed (primarily) by mysql. To scale out (tbs of data, hundreds of tables, millions of users, billions of daily interactions), we've had to remove some FKs, avoid db triggers, use caching heavily (including piggy backing requests where you don't serve an identical request from the db, you wait for the response and returned the memoized version). When you do choose to remove a FK, the need doesn't go away, you just move it. Now you have to look into data sync and out-of-band integrity checks and you have to have a plan on what to do when you go looking for data that is no longer there.

Tape seams, cracks, flues, poorly insulated windows, doors. Someone once told me that if you add up all of small cracks and air leaks in a home, it would be the equivalent of an open window. We lived in a 105 year old home at the time. Most of the wooden window frames had expanded/contracted throughout the years, and a rubber mallet did wonders for resetting the frame and moldings to airtight status. Taping plastic over the worst windows helped until we could repair & replace the worst offenders, heavy curtains helps as well. Castles used heavy woolen tapestries to help.

Of course COBOL had comments. You put an asterisk at the start of the line, or in a particular column, depending on the compiler's extensions for doing away with line numbers. What the Stack Overflow link is saying is that it didn't have comments that could follow a statement on a line, but got them at roughly the same time C got C++-style // comments.

I only did a couple of short paid stints with the language, back in the 1980s, but from my memory of it the biggest problem with it was the huge number of reserved words. One project therefore mandated that every identifier start with "100-"! The problem with globals was real, but contemporaneous Pascal had a globals problem too. There was a mechanism to interpolate source code of procedures; since the language had been designed back in the days of batch jobs elapsed compilation time didn't matter.

COBOL programmers tended to be isolated from the wider programming world and from people with a formal background in computer science. I arrived at that project too late to prevent them making design decisions like firing up a new executable for each transaction (expensive on VAX/VMS, but at least it was in the same process) or storing passwords in cleartext. They just did it the way they'd done it 15 years before on the big iron. It was a case of "I wish you'd been here 6 months ago to tell us about that, but it's too late now", or perhaps they were just being polite to the hired help.

You could argue that whatever the business-oriented language had been, those same people would have made the same mistakes. At least with COBOL, the language was such that they could be domain experts, for example accountants.
Yes, the state lottos are just as bad if not worse. My state uses an animal puppet in lottery ads; this is effectively advertising to children before they're even old enough to play. They got a pass for years while other gambling was banned, but that's not right.

Unfortunately the rampant ads have the same effect; kids growing up now will see this all as normal and probably be worse off for it. This is a way in which culture is downstream from law.
