In terms of real experienced performance: I had both an Apple II+ and an Amiga and you couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

And we didn't actually do much 32 bit math on the 68K except for address calculations, we mostly did 16 bit math, and in fact only the address ALU was 32 bit (2 16 bit ALUs to be precise), 32 bit ops on data registers had to go through the 16 bit data ALU twice...which means that if you had to do 32 bit arithmetic, you could win some perf if you could express it as address calculations (LEA, I am looking at you!)

And of course 16 bit math was common enough that the Apple II included a virtual 16 bit machine in its ROMs, for code-density purposes, but with an obvious further speed hit [1]

But even comparing 16 bit instructions 1:1 on a 7 MHz 68K (Amiga, Mac) with 8 bit instructions on an Apple II the 68K is faster, and the 1:1 comparison doesn't make sense because the 68K has so many more registers and more powerful addressing modes and of course does more work per instruction, and and and.

So not really sure where this idea of slow 68K came from.

Maybe it is due to Wirth's law: "Software gets slower more quickly than hardware gets faster". The 68K was so much faster that people were much more ambitious in what they tried.

I made my own monitor in 500 lines of code.

It uses a HTTP client to poll all instances every minute which return /proc/stat so that I can see how much CPU they use:

So the good ones left when they realized what was going on and the mediocre ones stayed.

I, being Deaf, would have been forced to stay with the mediocre ones because interviewing is difficult for me.

As VMware is getting considerably more expensive it's reasonable to assume some CEOs are aware of that. It would be enough if one or two of them for one reason for another googled "cheap virtualization" or talked to some "tech guy" and somehow "Linux is cheap/free and can do virtualization" is what stuck with them. Then they talk to their friends at the golf club and after a while the topic reaches critical mass in those circles and spreads across those companies, probably not without playing "Chinese whispers" along the way.
This looks fake. I just imagine someone shorting VMware’s stock on the other side of the keyboard… but who knows.
So OpenShift virt replaces oVirt? What was the reason for dropping oVirt?
As far as I can tell, this can't actually work, because the return type of `fn next(&'a mut self)` should actually live for some lifetime `'b` that is shorter than `'a`, instead of at least as long as `'a`; mostly because `next` borrows `self` mutably.
The key take away is that SSD is now definitely more reliable than HDD, at-least for boot drives.

I remember Toshiba used to top the Blackblaze AFR charts by a significant margin for reliability during HDD days and now it seems that there's no significant winner for reliability in consumer SSD brands.

Crucial and Micron drives are listed separately; I presume the latter has business class NAND?
Rust and golang are not really in the same space. Rust is more of a C++ competitor, while golang is somewhere between python/ruby and Java/C#. Furthermore, there really isn't anything that golang does that Java or C# don't, but the latter do it in a much more saner way, especially Java now with Loom on the way. Unless you really need to compile to binaries, but both ecosystems are getting solutions in the works (GraalVM and Native AOT).

I used bazel for my latest project, mainly as an excuse to learn it. I ended up spending waaay too much time debugging bazel instead of working on my code, and I still can’t properly support windows because dependencies don’t build.

I will never use bazel again. Not worth the effort required, and doesn’t work out of the box as advertised.
Germany secret: They went into panic buy mode and started severely overpaying for gas in order to secure all of the supply they might need. This not only made gas more expensive for everyone else, but also influenced electricity prices.

Erlang binaries on the other hand are awesome, and the use of lists in what Erlang refers to as chardata/iodata is really nice when generating data that will be written to some kind of output device, since no preprocessing is needed to convert the data to a flat array of bytes. Overall though, yeah, it plays pretty loose with types, though it is generally strict about not using integers where floats are expected and vice versa.

My feelings are:

1) this being common practice doesn't make it right

2) knowing someone's background, and deeply studying their historical writings, can provide a lot of color when evaluating someone's ethics, or any bias in their actions.
Most people seem to think w3schools has some form of association with the W3C. It is actually run by a small family company, Refsnes Data AS, from Sandnes, a depressing city on the western coast of Norway.
Certainly everybody believes that Godel's theorems are true. But I wonder if its' Achilles heel is the notion of "stepping outside" of the formal system.

Can we formalize what "stepping outside" means? How can we be sure we have done it correctly? When we step "outside" and do reasoning, are we doing it following the formal logic? Which logic? Are there rules as to what kind of inferences are NOT allowed when reasoning "outside of the system"?

In other words when we "reason outside of the formal system" we are using English. Can we trust the logic of English is "correct"?

Can a formal system really do self-reference? It's just strings. WE can give an interpretation to formal sentences but when we interpret a given sentence as referring to "itself" doesn't it really refers to the interpretation, not to "itself" but its interpretation?

When natural language refers to the formal system doesn't it really just refer to what the formal system "means" in the natural language, not to the formal system itself as such?
If you're any kind of a car person, you owe it to yourself to check out the rest of The Autopian - it's an independent car site founded, owned, and operated by deeply weird car people, and it's absolutely amazing.

You're missing part of my point. Here in Denmark it supposedly already is a legal requirement. The point is that the legal obligation means nothing, because the banks are so entangled with the government that no actual policing is done.

Years ago I visited a friend in emmm..., "Europe". He was not home and the neighbour let us in. He asked us to entertain ourselves until he gets back. It took little time to notice the pair of speakers: 50cm cubes, almost. I managed to turn them on and connect them to the TV. There I heard the most lifelike sound I ever heard from any speakers. I wondered: these should be some crazy European brand... no brand names anywhere on the boxes.

Later that night I asked about the speakers and he went: "What? They sound good?"

It turns out his friend works at "Insert big European brand, not only audio here" and they decided to make a great pair of speakers. Then he brings home a measurement device north of 6 figure €s, and they tune it so that you would not be able to distinguish a person talking behind you, from the recording of them being played with these speakers... Or as close you can get to that.

Then they take their product to the company only to be laughed at: "for anything below 5000€, we don't use any part above 50€. You have parts north of 500, this is not feasible for the market."

Mindustry needs to lose the scripting system as it’s terrible.

ShapezIO has a better idea with an overlay to do that stuff (albeit with more restrictions).

A flow based system would be far better. It’s easier for non programmers (which is also more fair) and could visually look and function more like normal mindustry.

Buying a company to get 10 key employees is a lot more expensive than just making 10 really lucrative offers. For Microsoft in particular it left a competitor with a storied history rudderless. So it makes Microsoft's offering look even better in comparison.

One of the interviewees from this article, Son Luong Ngoc (sluongng), has recently been writing a great series of blog posts on the design of Bazel:

https://sluongng.hashnode.dev/

Tools like Earthly (and other BuildKit HLB frontend languages) will help more teams get some of the main benefits of Bazel with a lower bar of complexity. If you already know how to write Dockerfiles and Makefiles, you can write Earthfiles without much additional learning necessary. It provides a build that is repeatable, incremental, self-contained, never dirty, shared-cacheable, et cetera.

This kind of anti-cheat would contradict the idea of having control over your own computer. It also wont end there in terms of invasiveness.

Instead, they should focus on non-invasive mitigations such as:

- Server-side anti-cheat.

- Pay-once or subscription models to deter cheating.

- Allow gaming coffee shops to authenticate themselves and give their customers privileged access to competitive worlds/instances. Because it’s much harder to cheat at these coffee shops already.

- Shadow-ban repeat offenders or apply punishments without them realising that they’ve been detected.

- Use bulk-banning to avoid giving cheaters a fast feedback loop which would otherwise make them understand what works and what doesn’t.

I would not say top level design. Software is often born out of software. It's more like a woman keeping her children in her womb instead of giving birth to them.
> They know a thing or two about what developers like and appreciate in their products.

Hah, I wish that was true. Looking at the last releases and the new UI which is about to come I highly doubt that is true. Although adding flashy new features instead of fixing bugs in a "visual" IDE is different than developing a programming language.

It's an analogy: you said that DEI supporters want to "discriminate actively against races/genders/orientations that haven't been discriminated against in the same way." (Let's call this "reverse discrimination" just for brevity)

I figured if you can understand that "alms for the poor" isn't an example of "reverse discrimination", then you can also understand that there are also ways to support historically-discriminated-against groups without reverse discrimination.

If you can make that leap, there's a whole dialog on whether current methods are reverse-discrimination or something else. If you can't make that leap, then there's not really a conversation to be had - our perspectives diverge too much to be mutually comprehensible.
The PBS kids channel on my Roku is pretty good (and free)
The BBC's "More or Less" pointed out some of the claims about tyres being a major contributor to air pollution are exaggerated. One of the claims was based on the total amount of wear from tyres as weight, without considering that most of that wear is made of very large particles that remain on the ground.
> Has w3schools gotten any better over the years? Would anyone consider using this or any package from them?

Yeah. I prefer it to MDN sometimes because they usually have a "try it yourself" that actually works very well.

Doesn't matter how much better the MDN doc might be, I often just want to try it myself.
For me, it's that it wil balance out in the end. We might have to suffer, but it will balance out. My hope is that most of us won't have to suffer that much before it balances out.

Also, I do feel good about the direction we're going in. California, where I live, is banning the sale of new combustion engine cars by 2035. 2035 will probably have some very hot weeks here, but that we're getting laws like this is a good sign.

It seems we need to be simultaneously extremely patient and extremely urgent about fixing problems like this. Constant sensationalism isn't the path, unless your work specifically is as a consciousness-raiser, perhaps. Others need to have an awareness of the problem but it does worse than nothing to be constantly panicked.

Yeah my local garbage collection company has an extra fee for locked garbage. It is a pretty standard thing.
Erlang checks for overflow after arithmetic ops are performed internally (IIRC), so you are generally only penalized when overflow actually occurs and requires promotion, which probably isn’t much different in performance from a language that would raise an error on overflow, though obviously not as efficient as a language that just wraps around on overflow.
I don't mean to derail discussion of the article, but that quote is just a flatly true statement, no?

It's literally the first line in the English wikipedia article

>"The military dictatorship in Brazil (Portuguese: ditadura militar) was established on 1 April 1964, after a coup d'état by the Brazilian Armed Forces, with support from the United States government"

That article was in part a reference to another article from the site:

https://www.theautopian.com/this-is-why-car-designers-always...

Which was in part a reference to some questions on the comment threads from other articles in which a designer sketched some car ideas on that site.

So, you may not have wondered that, but someone on the site wondered that, and another writer on the site, who, granted, has an background in engineering car suspensions, not writing, wrote this article in response.

The caching is indeed very good if you set it up properly.

In the hands of a level 5 gradle wizard it can also be extended to do ANYTHING, with the usual caveat that you may experience regrets when your gradle wizard leaves.

Discrimination isn't just "we treat people differently" - we put prisoners in jail, we don't trust liars, we try to keep abusers away from positions of power.

Discrimination is when it crosses the line into injustice - when you're acting solely off hatred and stereotypes.

Since you're conceding that it's justified, it seems that no actual injustice is occurring here.

It's not less painful to install and set up an IRIX system with a couple dozen CDs.. (except that CDs didn't often fail to read). In fact it was so tiring that after the first couple of times I would always just copy the CDs to a disk on another computer and point the installation there, one directory at the time (fortunately SGI machines could NFS-mount filesystems from the monitor)

The new features of TDengine 3.0 are quite attractive～
One of the reasons the company I just left is dying is they lost a bunch of employees that and a terrible tech plan.

I worked for company A, company A got merged with company B since they were both owned by the same mega corp. Company A and Company B were in the same industry but served different needs. They were both companies in the EV industry but one was aimed at drivers and the other aimed at charging station companies. When they did the merger, it seems part of the thinking was to get rid of the IT staff at company A. So obivously, they basically all left. Major issue was they decided to do a rewrite. So they ended up having a bunch of developers who didn't know the business, could barely read the old code, etc rewrite this company's application. Because they had no idea about it, they didn't realise how unrealistic the expectations were or even the fact it was a rewrite. It was framed as a migration. We move this app over here because we have the core features and we can just add on a few more. Except they didn't have the core features. They put the legacy system in to maintainance only and hired consultants to maintain it. Which led to it breaking down constantly and client demands going unmet. While that was happening all the business people started to leave. So all the people who understood how the business side of thing worked, had connections with clients, etc left. This resulted in all the strategies and plans that the company were making were based on a business world that didn't exist. They spent 12 months telling each other, they would do this and that and the industry needs this. Then when they released and went to market with pre-existing clients they found out all of this was nonsense and they needed to do all the stuff the old business teams were doing.

By the end of it, the mega corp that owned them realised they screwed up the company too badly so decided to sell. In the two years since the merger they had spent at least 30 million on the new platform. Spent 15 million before that on building it up before doing th merger. Originally bought company A for 8 million. Company B, I'm not sure how much they spent there but realistically probably a total of 40 million easily. It was generating profit too before it got merged with Company A. They tried to sell it for 400 million. Got nowhere. Reduced the price to 200 million. Nothing. Ended up selling it for 75 million while clearing the debts for the company with a "gain" of 50 million.

Plenty of games have multiple sets of controls. A handful of Switch games make use of both, to great effect. Like Cozy Grove. You don't have to completely ignore it, to allow for one playing style.
> Musk unethical? For playing hardball in negotiations?

No. The ethical question relates to whether he was acting in good faith in the first place, and then again for breaking his word, which if the first part is true and he wasn't ever acting in good faith, then his stated intentions were never honest. But it's tough to say whether he was acting in good faith or not because he was so enthusiastic about the deal for months. But it's also hard to believe he wasn't already aware of his final grievances long before he announced his intention to buy. He made it seem like a whim, but is it really likely he is foolish enough to subject himself and an entire company and all the employees and shareholders to his fickle whims? If he wanted to hurt Twitter, for whatever his reasons may be, he should have done everything he did exactly the way he did it. Because regardless of whether he was acting in good faith, he took Twitter for a ride. I have heard of narcissists doing similar destruction to their victims, but I have never seen such a long and complicated game to cause pain except in novels or films. It is almost like he was exacting revenge, but revenge for what? Well, maybe nothing, which is textbook toxic narcissism, the absence of empathy, caring about nothing but one's own personal interests, which could be whims. It's late, I'm babbling.
