I enjoyed reading the VFS layer down into the NFS client file ops and then the RPCs created from them. (skip the RPC state machine)

An easier entry point might be the ethtool_ops in an earlier Intel network driver like e1000.
It very often reduces it, and also often has unintended consequences (e.g. prohibition era in the US). In the context of the parent's point, that when "the open method is banned, people will start using layers of indirection", it's not hard to think of some unintended consequences that could end up worse than the original problem.
All the more remarkable is that all of this is done by unpaid volunteers.
Going through a shitty phase (which happens often) I've been trying to cope in various ways, reaching high and low, inside and outside, for meaning and purpose and guidance.

I don't subscribe to most existing models, not out of a rebellious choice but because I cannot find or follow their logic to a satisfactory conclusion.

So far this is what I have, make of it what you will:

• There must be a default state, and a part of it must reside in everything built upon it. It doesn't make sense that something began from Nothing, but I like to think that something began from Everything.

• But it doesn't mean that a superset system can control a subset system 100% – Think of our relationship with computers and the programs running on/in them, along with all the physics involved and the virtual results.

• Veritasium's video on "Math's Fundamental Flaw" [0] was a good source of inspiration: Shit may be coded with hard immutable logic but still have virtually infinite possibilities.

• If you think your mind, or your "will" or "heart" or "soul", matters in any way and can make any difference, try to find the cutoff point between -where- that metaphysical quality starts, what sets "you" apart from everything else: What's the difference between you and every other person's mind/soul? Or a person's mind and a computer program? The difference between a world with no humans in it, and a world with 1 human? A barren asteroid and a planet with life? Can a rock access the mysteries of the Universe? Can you?

TL;DR: What you see right now may be what you will ever get, everything may just be circumstance, but there -just might- be a way to touch something greater.

Likewise I've head good things about the Python standard library; I suspect this works for many languages.
There's also the bit where you put important contact, privacy, or similar information below the infinite scrolling element so it's only reachable via debug tools or turning the internet off (the latter doesn't always work because it often results in an 'oopsie wooopsie somefing went wong' error popup).
I can't believe they didn't cite the 1890 Harvard Law Review article, by Louis Brandeis and Samuel D. Warren, "The Right to Privacy" where the future Supreme Court Justice wrote, ""Instantaneous photographs and newspaper enterprise have invaded the sacred precincts of private and domestic life; and numerous mechanical devices threaten to make good the prediction that "what is whispered in the closet shall be proclaimed from the house-tops.""[1]

When you limit your data to those published by (fairly) large publishers, you've already skewed the data irreparably. Most of them won't even look at a book unless an agent brings it to them, and most agents won't represent most would-be authors.

On the other hand, some technical books don't require agents, and O'Reilly has to be a very large publisher in terms of books sold.

Some other categories don't, either -- I know someone who publishes "cozy mysteries" through a real publisher (not a giant one), and she doesn't have an agent.

Second this. The core SDK and many common libraries are very well served by javadoc. I believe this is a key aspect of the success of Java. Javadoc serves so well that it compels Java developers to use it and you can tell if you're dealing with 'good' work or not by the thoroughness of the javadoc work.

Spring has often frustrated me in this regard. Spring's website is thorough and nearly everything you might need can be found there with enough wading, but Spring's javadoc is often lacking. You frequently run into placeholder entries and some of the key Spring packages and classes lack sufficient overview javadoc. Spring's indifference to javadoc is deeply stupid. I can think of several cases where Spring users have written suboptimal programs where they fail to utilize the platform properly, and I'm certain this happens in-part because Spring's javadoc fails to guide them.

One case I ran into in the last little while is a system that implements a configuration file template system; Spring properties substituted into templates used to generate multiple complex (not 'context') configuration files. Unless you read the walls of Spring website documentation you won't know that Spring already provides exactly that capability and so the coders involved wrote their own half-baked one.
I don't quite get why this is flagged, hence I vouched for it.

Calling someone a "full time safety coomer" seems innapropriate for someone holding the title of "vp of community" in the Zig foundation.

It certainly makes me reevaluate the zig community, which thus far was at times a bit childish, but always friendly.

While I see this might violate "Eschew flamebait.", a constructive reflection of the interactions between the rust and zig community still feels like a worthwhile endeavour.

Interesting. If we posit that the age representation on Wikipedia someway not only reflects but perpetuates the "normal" canonical age of someone's memory, then we might ask if they need to follow neutrality policies (random age in pictures) or try to find sources for what ages are used commonly elsewhere.
Yeah power law distributions are everywhere nowadays. Nassim Taleb talks about this a lot and uses book sales as a reference, which is cheeky since he’s doing it in his own best seller books.

BookScan isn't a reliable source of information unfortunately. It only counts when a book's ISBN is physically scanned over a scanner (no ebook, audio book, libraries, specialty sales, etc) and also only covers 75% of retail in general. Generally, you can bet BookScan largely undercounts by a very wide margin.
I read "cathedral" as being exclusive of the state. Reading it as inclusive confuses me even more, I think.

If the state outsourcing censorship, then the state alone is culpable. I think we can have some legitimate and interesting arguments about where the line ought to be drawn. For instance, if a private entity asks the state for guidance about content moderation, is it (or ought it be) legal for the state to provide it?

But that entire discussion falls well within the contours of the established legal framework. So I'm not sure what concept you were referring to originally.

All those things can be acquired privately. It is possible to buy things without using tax money.
Here is a simpler explanation:

When you are younger, you have a community of people and friends who push, pull, and otherwise shape you.

When you are older, there is no community. That’s an oversimplification, but it’s close enough.

So there’s no pushback about “hey man, that’s enough about your hobby.” There’s no influence to curb any parts of your personality. It’s just you, instead of being in a health community, living in a kind of void, in between your interactions w others.

Now it’s true there are people (say, your parents) who continue to exert influence. But it’s like the number of people actively involved w you falls from 100, to like 5. In terms of true peers who are your age - they number may very well fall to 0. So the amount of eccentricity, or really indulgence of personal preference above every other consideration, skyrockets.

Way downhill. The MSDN circa 1996-2000 (if that's what it was called, I don't recall) was excellent. Their C/C++/Win32 documentation was clear, helpful, and concise.

Then with the advent of .Net (or, at least, around that time, say 2000+) things just ballooned and suddenly the MSDN became super difficult to navigate, almost overnight. Even today, there's a lot (a lot) there but it's nowhere near as useful as is used to be. The MSDN habit of providing a TOC to the left of any given article seems like it /should/ be useful, but instead it's been beaten to death. There must be a better way to navigate their documentation than that.

Also, surprisingly often links to other documentation are broken - that's not new, it's always been the case iirc, but it's much more prevalent these days.

And, some of their stuff has a lot of documentation, but it's just difficult to follow. I swear they're paying technical writers by the number of sections they can chop a give subject into. I was looking into Azure/Business Central documentation a while back and didn't find anything useful even though there's a ton of information there. I had ~10-15 tabs open all roughly referencing different pieces of what I thought I needed. Eventually, I stumbled across a dev blog, not MS, describing almost exactly what I needed, along with some crucial details that I never saw in Microsoft's documentation.
I think people are simply surprised that Apple is just now getting around to this, given that it's been a common feature in high end Android phones for quite a while now. OP did not say that Apple phones were worse, you inferred that.
It seems very odd that any insurer would insure under these circumstances. If one did then it seems even odder that it didn't refuse to pay the claim on the grounds that its insurance didn't cover what could easily be deemed as negligence (risky behavior).

I wish I had an insurance company that was so lax with its payouts.
As a programmer, I am in awe of what Fabrice Bellard has accomplished. This article made me curious about his background, jokingly thinking that if he was Catholic he could become the Patron Saint of Computer Programmers for giving away many millions of software for free. I was amused to find he was born in the place that kicked off the French Revolution:

The city gained some notoriety on 7 June 1788 when the townspeople assaulted troops of Louis XVI in the "Day of the Tiles". The people attacked the royal troops to prevent an expulsion of the notables of the city, which would have seriously endangered the economic prosperity of Grenoble. Following these events, the Assembly of Vizille took place. Its members organized the meeting of the old Estates General, thus beginning the French Revolution.

Just my thoughts, concerning not achieving your desired outcome. 1) Users read left to right and start at the top. So they would see an icon there that represents search - what you do. That is also nested in the top right corner where in many interfaces there are powerful buttons for the user. 2) Saying demo was just an extra step for the user. Google has pretty much a blank canvas and search bar in the middle with a search icon. The user can’t really do anything but that. In demos, interface design, etc, I enjoy when things are straightforward/forced/simple because they can connect to a larger audience and it also decreases user fatigue, which can add up or straight up make you lose users if they can’t figure something out.

Be like the bonsai gardener, it’s not what you can add, it is everything that you can take away that’s important. Only when you can’t take away anything more will it be done.

Or something like that…

very surprised to not see Borges mentioned once, who addressed this question in the short story The Exactitude of Science by asking what would happen if the map was as large as the territory (and likely borrowed that concept from Lewis Carroll), in fact it's short enough to fit in a HN comment.

…In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a single Province occupied the entirety of a City, and the map of the Empire, the entirety of a Province. In time, those Unconscionable Maps no longer satisfied, and the Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire, and which coincided point for point with it. The following Generations, who were not so fond of the Study of Cartography as their Forebears had been, saw that that vast Map was Useless, and not without some Pitilessness was it, that they delivered it up to the Inclemencies of Sun and Winters. In the Deserts of the West, still today, there are Tattered Ruins of that Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in all the Land there is no other Relic of the Disciplines of Geography.
Those were the halcyon days of technical writing teams sitting alongside developers. Extremely rare to see that now, and the organizational sclerosis from it is obvious from the vantage point where I sit.

You can immediately tell the really good technical documentation written in that old school pattern by its usefulness when you don't know anything about the code being documented. Because the good technical editors bring to the table a discipline and enforcement of a judicious eye for perspective, constantly, maddeningly, repeatedly, asking ELI5 until the words coalesce into something I can appreciate as a newbie to its tech stack.

If you want to see the documentation rot really set into the commercial industry (the situation is better in the bigger open source projects), look for documentation between versions. A common commercial software dodge now is the documentation site has a way to switch between versions of the same topic, and the budget for technical writers being non-existent, someone makes the decision to "helpfully suggest" there isn't an "exact match" for the same topic in the other selected version, and would the user like to change to the homepage of the selected version?

Product owners have forgotten that well-edited and written documentation integrated into the support and development lifecycle is an enormously powerful vendor lock-in.

Maybe you know something I don't, but consumption never did the trick for me. And believe me, I've engaged in some pretty hard-core consumption. Long-term travel, drugs and alcohol, material possessions, sex, etc. I'll grant you that all of it resulted in temporary elation, but none of it resulted in long-term contentment.

I hope you have better luck with it than I did. But I doubt my luck would change if I simply tried consuming even harder.
Any undergrad data structure course would do. They are pretty much the same: starting with sorting and lists, then trees, and then graphs, with some introductions to asymptotic complexity. Of course there will be some variations, but the core stay the same. That's also why this Advanced Data Structures is so valuable. It really goes beyond the popular algorithm books/courses, expanding our understanding of data structures and abstractions in general.

Which is kind of silly to add flags for suspicious purchases. Any firearms transfer at a store with an FFL if he is suspicious of the transaction should not sell it or do the transfer. There are already laws on the books to prosecute FFL transfers when you should have known or reasonably known the person you were transferring it to wasn't eligible to have the gun.

The federal government is banned by law from compiling a firearms owner's database. This is just a back door to do that. Very likely will accomplish zero reduction in crime or straw purchases. Because when you're buying a gun to commit a crime or for someone else it's generally a few hundred dollars because it's the cheapest gun you can get easy to pay in cash with.

This is an owner's database for expensive guns that are not used in crimes. Because those guns are more difficult to pay in cash with for example the last two guns I purchased were $10,000 and $17,000. Clearly these are the weapons that are used in committing crimes.

> if he spent barely 20 minutes writing 3–4 trivial unit tests for this function, we would have saved probably 6 hours each ... The math was beyond simple. 20 mins invested and 12 hours saved.

I've heard this reasoning before. The math is simple but wrong. The cost of writing unit tests must also include the time spent on tests of stuff that was never broken; and for the maintenance of tests that break because of new features or bug fixes rather than actual code issues.

Unit tests are very useful, essential, in some situations. In others they're a waste of everybody's time.

Argentina is the poster child for what happens when a country's leaders insist on "a strong currency" above all else. In Argentina's case, by pegging to the US dollar.

If the Argentinian peso had been floating for the last six decades, Argentina's trade deficit and inflation problems would be distant memories.

The difficulty is that politically you can't get there from here any more. A sudden shock like floating the currency would seriously impoverish the politically connected elite, for a while.
