People who think AppleScript is horrible probably aren't familiar with HyperCard, whose scripting language had a similar syntax. But when AppleScript was introduced in the 1990s, it was a reasonable assumption that most people wanting to use it were HyperCard users. Personally, I think languages that actually try something new are more interesting than yet another C/Java clone with only minor syntax differences.

Which is...the entire industry? I think this is a very simplistic view. Scale is pervasive in capitalism and not restricted to marketing. It is not being unimaginative, it is just a byproduct of the industry (isonomy and reproducibility over personalisation and personality).
i had ZERO clue what kiwifarms was before all this.. now that I know how much they try to keep me from seeing it, I have made it a point to look at for the forseeable future.

I do not subscribe to bullying or doxxing or anything like that, but now kiwifarms will get a fair chance at showing me what they are about, they had zero chance before, as I did not know they exist.
Is this a Bn in drug volume traded or a Bn of revenue that the exchange takes as a % of the drug $ traded? If the latter your estimate prob make sense, although I don’t know what their margin is.
I agree.

Folks love to knock on traditional “stick built” buildings. I don’t get it. I live in a frame house built in 1927. It’s not going anywhere so long as the owners are stewards of the property.

Watching similar houses get built, it’s a fairly efficient process. I don’t think the costs of homes are really driven by framing.

Super conservative code requirements like electric socket requirements (my kitchen remodel required the addition of *5 dedicated circuits with arc fault breakers in most cases), fire sprinklers, etc and others drive costs.

A frame house with a thoughtful architecture that incorporates passive heating/cooling, etc will cost less, be easier to bike and require less fiddling.
> short of any closed-source extensions the code can move to another chip vendor

That's a huge limitation. It's unfortunate that RISC-V allows for closed implementations (IP) and also closed ISA extensions.
None of that is about data, it's about distributed computing.

No one is saying you're not a smart guy with skills, just that you're obviously not familiar with working with lots of data.
Yeah the engineers were really fucked in their options and it shows in their evaluation.

They were supposed to build a 130 to LEO rocket that should launch the first time in 2016 (min 70t) and use existing contractors. That is kind of insane.

So NASA basically allow their internal teams to come up with Block upgrades based systems and that's where the whole SLS Block 1a, 1b, 1c comes from.

The problem with this was (and is) that they had no reason to rush to a quick block 1 as there were really no missions for it.

Had they been given until 2020 developing a single core modern Saturn V would have been a much better design (this is clearly evident in their internal design evaluation documents). The had already put a lot of work into J-2x and modern F-1 version was attainable. My alternative would have been to use a whole bunch of SpaceX Merlin 1D instead but they never considered that. This version would also have been much closer to the 130 tons in the first version.

And it could have been evolved to be reusable unlike the current SLS.

What people from the outside don't really see is the NASA internal competition. Johnson Space Center clearly wanted the Shuttle derived version, Kennedy Space Center really wanted to Saturn V style rocket. Some at NASA HQ wanted to give it as a contract to SpaceX/ULA.

This is a really aggressive comment about something that is not a common knowledge without any sources. I do have high cholesterol and I’m cutting down on red meat, should I not?
I agree, for things like Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. Usually if the service is a flat rate and/or unlimited, there are gonna be issues around performance, both upload and download. Rather than impose hard data size limits, these services usually make upload and/or download so painful at higher sizes that they become unusable or infeasible.

There are many services these days that have minimum retention times, including the cheaper tiers of S3 and GCS.

Backblaze doesn't throttle, has no minimum retention times, no minimum object size, and is 0.5 cents/GB/mo for storage and 1 cent/GB/mo for downloads with a 10GB free monthly storage allowance (without registering a CC) and a free 1 GB/day download allowance. Not associated with BB other than through HashBackup (I'm the author). Many of HB's large customers successfully use BackBlaze for their offsite backups. It's rock solid if you strictly follow their API guidelines, esp related to error handling.
In many ways you can think of large, long-living tech companies not unlike old cities like, say, London or Paris. The buildings and roads you see are built on top of older buildings and ruins. The streets are weirdly shaped and intersect at odd angles because they were made hundreds of years before and adapted over time as needs evolved. There are catacombs underneath sidewalks and no one genuinely understands it all nor does a single reference exist that explains it.

Literally everything predates everyone who lives there. Generations and generations of original designers, architects, and laborers have arrived, plied their trade, and moved away. There are people who are experts in certain parts, and who can build a new skyscraper at any given spot, but it is just layering and organic growth.

The emergent complexity of centuries of being lived in and adapted belies easy understanding.

Large tech companies are similar. You just can't understand how "it" all works. If you were to build it from scratch, perhaps you could, because it would be simpler and clearer, but nothing was made with the current state in mind. It evolved and adapted over time.

So reading this, I am not surprised. I think you'd get the same answer about many other aspects of data, code, system history, etc at any other 10+ yr old tech giant.
This is an underrated joke.
The question I have is, why Segger? When I saw this I was like "the debugger company?!?!" Clearly this wouldn't fall under their business, so it makes sense for them to open it up, but why did they do it in the first place?

I appreciate your view but seeing as how most Julia projects work this way I sometimes wonder if it's just a problem with the language itself. Not trying to be a troll with impossible expectations, but genuinely the code is unstable, and yes they have been working on it for a long time.

No it isn't. Releases of Ghostscript are entirely FOSS from day 1. There's a huge difference between a FOSS project that sells exceptions, and a proprietary program that businesses have to buy a license for to use it all.
Scurvy and the dangers of high cholesterol. Slaps welcome.

But really, and giving you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not a troll, sure beef is more healthy than many things and most processed foods but it is definitely not the healthiest single thing you can eat. Stating that it is does not make it so, and also stating that it has all the nutrition you need is pretty disingenuous. If you have proof beyond anecdotes then show it.

It is possible for a plotter using a real pen to make a card which is indistinguishable from a truly handwritten card.

People are rightfully squeamish about sending out cards which “look” handwritten but aren’t. Imagine a customer realizes that you are faking it…the consequences to reputation could be substantial.

That said, I personally find printed cards using handwritten-style font to be insulting, so that was a no-go for us.

We considered using a third party fulfillment service and essentially charging a fee on top of that, but the returns would be microscopic for the effort.
> And even if it were true, those trees would take years to begin to sequester the same amount of carbon that the previously existing trees did.

It sounds like you might be making a stock vs flow error here. Or I could be misunderstanding you.

> And even then, it's not obvious that those new trees would sequester more carbon than the previous trees would have had they been allowed to continue growing.

1. Trees slow as they grow (after a certain point).

2. Commercial tree farms exist to grow trees. If they weren't growing trees for consumption, something else would be done with that land.

Looks like it's actually C.
The equator of the Earth is spinning much faster, on a much tighter radius. Do you "feel centrifugal force" when standing there?

It does actually affect your weight a bit, but if you mean what I think you mean that it would be something you perceptibly feel, it is not.

Moreover, this merely shows that the idea that the magnitude is significant isn't a good one. Even more importantly, you don't "feel" anything in an orbit ever, because when you're on a geodesic, you're in "zero g". You never "feel" anything in an orbit, no matter how fast it is. People on the ISS don't "feel centrifugal force", because they're in zero G.

(Except tides, if you're large enough, but a single person in this orbit is nowhere near large enough or sensitive enough to feel any tides.)
Very tricky. You need at least:

- the electricity consumption of the system, which varies depending on use

- the electricity consumption of the air conditioning, which is to a first approximation about the same as the fist number (you've got to remove all that energy again, at some efficiency coefficient). Varies by ambient temperature.

- the CO2 mix of the grid at that time, which varies from minute to minute.

I feel you in regards to transporting your kids - or anything else for that matter. Walking and public transit is great but what about buying groceries or anything even slightly more to carry? It seems to me people often overlook the "payload capacity" needed for transit, we're not all just commuting to work all the time.
The main strike against suburban lifestyles is that the maintenance cost per square meter (water, sewage, electrics, roads, communications) is much higher than the area generates in taxes.
> If we do the same thing with KiwiFarms, we just make it harder to monitor and easier for serial-abusers to collaborate.

Yes because the police were doing such a great job at monitoring and responding to threats from KF. Wake up, this is such a weak argument that has no basis in reality. We hear these same tired arguments over and over that are not backed up with facts (or, you know, arrests).

> The majority of KiwiFarms users simply aren't solely enabled by the website existing, either.

Yes they are.

What part do you not "believe" in? Deplatforming absolutely works. These rats might scurry to another platform/provider but each time fewer and fewer jump through all the hoops. You are letting perfect be the enemy of good.

If wikipedia doesn't have it, and right-wing mainstream media doesn't have your supporting facts, it probably didn't actually happen.

While I agree that left-leaning media painted the riots in a more positive light or tried to justify them inappropriately, let's not pretend that they killed more people than they actually did.

Ahh but the maximum height is 14'! Well, on most roads and Federal highways anyway (plan your route!).

Also, the maximum trailer width is actually 12' with a realistic payload for non-flatbed of around 11'. The maximum width that'll fit in the bed in your typical American pickup truck is around 5-5.5'.

The processes that led to the overspending in the first place are most likely the pricing models you agreed to. There are a million ways to manage this spend, but at the end of they day you are now held hostage by your hosting company. They have dark pattern pricing models and have tricked you into thinking it's impossible to manage your infrastructure at a lower level.

Go buy cloud resources from companies that sell what you need: cpu, memory, storage, and network capacity. You just want to pay for the hardware, shelf space, and network/energy usage with a reasonable profit margin to the data-center owner. Don't buy resources from companies selling you a bag full of shit marketing terms they made up so they can meter your usage to death with some product.

Building your business on premium cloud services in partnership with the richest men on earth is probably why your spend is getting out of control.

"carbon negative" isn't BS: since the CO2 already sequestered in the wood remains there (mostly), while the trees cut down for that wood are replanted eventually capturing more CO2, thus ultimately removing more CO2 from the atmosphere than was released through the sourcing of the wood.
Now considering everything involved in the building process, the house as a whole is probably not "carbon negative" -- and perhaps that's your objection -- but when it comes to the primary material (wood vs concrete/steel) it can be carbon negative.
Autonomy is a hell of a drug
> How?

In general the same way they get ~every Android phone to ship with Google Play.

The most aggressive way would be to design their own chips like Apple does and put the drivers in the kernel tree, make the chips available to other phone makers and then require satisfactory open source drivers from everyone as a condition of using Google services. Qualcomm publishes the drivers or loses all their hardware customers to Google's chips.

> How is Samsung different than the rest?

Qualcomm has been a near monopoly. The next phone you buy will likely be one of theirs even if you're dissatisfied with the existing one, so they can screw you and still get your business.

Samsung is the underdog here, and hardware brand loyalty is weak. If they could sell more phones by giving the people what they want, their overall sales go up even if people keep them longer, because the latter is more at the expense of their competitors.
The cynic in me says it's building your own job security. Documentation only really gets created if leadership forces the issue in my experience. You also get to sell the refactor/rewrite because "nobody understand the existing code".
In my experience; UserBenchmark will only show exactly one review per part, usually written early in the lifecycle, and never updated. Sometimes, this is written by random users (older parts), sometimes by staff. All reviews are basically trash, especially staff reviews.

Also, data fields like 64-Core Perf were made less prominent on Part Lists and Benchmark Result pages around the time Zen+ and Zen 2 All-Core outperformed comparable Intel parts. 1-Core Perf and 8-Core Perf were prioritized on highly visible pages, putting Intel on top of the default filtered list of CPUs.

However, the dataset produced by the millions of benchmarks remains apparently unmolested, and all the data is still visible going back a decade or more, if not slightly obscured by checkboxes and layout changes. (https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/1)

There is a fundamental problem with terraforming Mars; it has no magnetic field to keep the solar “winds” from blowing away the atmosphere. Humans will not be able to live outside on the surface of Mars, no matter how long we try to generate atmospheric oxygen without a planetary magnetosphere to divert the high speed ions escaping from the sun. At one point in the planet Mars’ life time it had an atmosphere and liquid water on the surface but now nothing that counts. The surface of Mars now has an atmospheric pressure of 0.0060 atm!

Perhaps we could generate a Martian artificial planetary magnetosphere, but I don’t know how.

That allows comparing relative sweetness of drinks, but runs the risk of consumers, seeing “1g per 100ml”, will say “there’s only 1g of sugar in this drink” and then gulp down a bottle of the stuff.

If the typical consumer drinks the stuff in bottle sizes, maybe the dietary information on the bottle should use ‘per bottle’.
Go GC is still pretty immature compared to the best Java systems.

And there were really quite good GC developed in the 90s. GC systems with predictable pause times (if you know the load) very much exist.

So if you are not loading arbitrary code you can do a lot with a memory safe GC system.

However I do think more could have been done in that space in the last 20 years instead of having so much C code everywhere.

Obesity is someone's fault. If it weren't, then we would always have had the same obesity rate. The fact that the obesity rate is rising, or has risen in the last 40 years is evidence that something somewhere happened and someone is at fault.
