It's true that nobody knows for certain what will happen. I am skeptical of the idea that bitcoin in particular will be able to scrounge up enough fees on "L1" to keep the network secure, especially given its small throughput.

As the author mentions, the "L2" scaling solutions like LN still require security on "L1". However, to the extent that "L2" is scalable, it will not increase "L1" fees.
Except that's not what I'm talking about. And neither were you. Again did you watch the video?

Both of the actors you refer to talk in a certain British accent. It's not "Shakespearean" in any way; and that specific accent doesn't work outside of any of those contexts of playing high class British people or older "wise" professor types. Patrick and Ian, though both very good actors, have very limited range and their accents do sound comical outside of relevant contexts.

I think you're trolling.
To reiterate: "LGTM" is what happens right now with most out-of-tree dependencies listed in package.json and fetched JIT.

To put it another way: keeping your dependencies in-tree or not doesn't directly impact code size. All the code is there in either case, whether you're checking it out as a consequence of cloning the repo or whether you're pulling it down via npm install. You're either already reviewing it, or you're not. On that specific factor you brought up (tendency to "LGTM"), there is no unique downside to storing the dependencies in-tree. It's illusory thinking to believe that there is.
Sounds interesting. But I got scared off by the horrifically shite drawing on the homepage.
I found this interesting because the ConfigMapping stuff reminds me a lot of Python. I knew that Python OO was inspired by Java OO to some extent, but I didn't expect so much similarity.

I think Python could learn similar lessons here. But the flipside is that none of this stuff is a catastrophe in Python either, and the author's tone seems a bit out of proportion with what they're complaining about.

The author complains about:

1) not knowing the underlying data model and implementation details that might affect their design

2) mutable attributes and non-final classes

3) lack of obvious composition root

In the Python world, we often say that "we are all consenting adults here".

Usually there is no need for private, immutable, or final things because people read docs know not to stray from the public interface. The trust also runs the other way, and it's very rare for the function to perform some kind of weird unexpected mutation. A function that mutates a user-provided object without the user's knowledge or consent is usually considered a bug. I actually found exactly this bug recently in a framework I was using, and several people were up in arms about it on the issue tracker. Yes, immutable data makes it harder/impossible to write such bugs. But the community generally has not devolved into a Satanic orgy of mutable state.

Likewise, if a framework did something ridiculous like reloading a config file at every request, nobody would use it! I could only imagine how lively that GitHub issue thread would be. A framework that makes fundamentally bad design decisions tends not to be a lasting part of the community.

The only one that really would suck, and that also doesn't seem to be a problem in Python, is the lack of an obvious composition root. I have never heard this term before, but it is a very very well-established pattern in Python application and library architecture. A framework that made it hard to design libraries in a conventional sensible way, would not be a very popular framework.
OK, can you indicate some of such tech? Personally I have a classic LiFeP battery (casually from a Chinese company, like 99% of those on sale) who can actually power my home without heating for a day, can last potentially ten years (6000 recharge "guaranteed"). Nothing that can scale more, behind pumped hydro who demand mountains and water to be done do better, and actually you can't sustainably power a factory from lithium batteries. We do not even know if we can produce enough of them to power just common cars. Oh, and we need planes, trucks, ships etc.
It is - but its speciality is exactly what matters most - it doesn't preallocate RAM and in fact can dynamically release it back to the host without any user intervention. It's super convenient.

Certainly Russia has been shoveling a lot of propaganda, but it seems accepted fact that the shelling around Zaporizhia did damage some parts of the plant. You can find western media confirming damage to a dry storage facility, where casks of spent nuclear fuel are kept, and also radiation monitoring detectors. And the plant did have to shut down one of it's reactors.

I feel like your comment is underrated. That could indeed be one of the reasons for Russia countering in-kind.
> it's annoying to have to back to the middle of the command just to add help there and get the manual

While I agree with the larger point of your comment, I work around this particular inconvenience of going back to the middle of the command by using the GNU Readline (or Zsh Line Editor in Zsh) key bindings. The key sequence to go back by one word and enter the new "help" argument is:

command subcommand <Alt + b> help <Space>

In the Emacs/GNU Readline notation the additional key sequence can be expressed as:

M-b help SPC

That's 7 extra key presses which is exactly the same number of key presses it would take to type and append " --help" at the end of an existing command.
Education - i doubt it has much room for growth. It already reached a phase where people who are too dumb to get any kind of degree are chasing degrees that will bring them no benefit in life. If anything, there needs to be a crackdown on higher education to prevent too many people from wasting the most productive years of their lives for nothing, instead of yeah, spending them building infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc).
Their explanation was that Windows could not be enhanced but rather should be slimmed down - the APIs that the NT kernel provides can't be efficiently worked around without breaking all kinds of already existing Windows software.

The problem is that BART doesn't employ talented reverse engineers. There is now way they could afford them in that area.

Well, no. Money is not the problem and BART doesn't need reverse engineers. They've already thrown away tens of millions of dollars on a replacement train control system (AATCS). Everyone's favorite defense contractor Raytheon was tasked with the project until they realized they couldn't make it work. Eventually Raytheon pawned the project off on Harmon, which was later bought by General Electric. GE shut the whole thing down because it was going nowhere.

I think most folks here are drastically underestimating the complexity involved in getting a train control system right (and how badly BART botched the original system). Considering that BART dates back to the 70s, DOS and Windows 98 were upgrades. Meanwhile Muni soldiered on with OS/2 for nearly a couple decades.
What do you mean exactly by 'backpedal'? As far as I know Carmack has stated that FP in general is achievable for games, he sees the benefit, but the languages and tooling just aren't there yet. There's probably some more research that needs to be done into the ideal mix of imperative and functional features in a language, too, that's something I think is very much not settled. I believe his comments about Haskell specifically deemed it ultimately unsuitable, although not necessarily because of the paradigm. At least that's what I remember him writing and talking about ~8 years ago.
What happens when your service scales and you get a performance bottleneck? Can you.. connect to a prod instance and look at the number of allocated instances? Can you do VM-event streams with barely any overhead continuously in prod? Will you actually be able to circumvent the performance bug?

Don’t get me wrong, I like Haskell and it is a more than fine language. Nonetheless, it doesn’t have anywhere close to the tooling Java has, and lazyness/FP is quite unintuitive regarding performance. And pure FP in itself is not guaranteed to result in better results by any form of evidence we have today, and doesn’t defend against logic bugs in any shape or form over what Java can do.

Also, it’s very unprofessional to look down on software engineers using different languages then you do..

Man you're totally being ignorant. It doesn't matter that you got a bit of science behind it, you can find science to do anything--especially to back up some "norm" specific the culture the science comes from. Science is a discourse, not a settled matter.

Ugh, I didn't assume anything about you. I took it from what you said. Stop being such a cultural supremacist. I was right about you: you are ignorantly speaking from your own limited experience. That's not condescending it's the truth. Everyone has a limited experience, what you're doing wrong is saying you're way is better than others, "more normal", "more advanced": "unusual that pretty much every culture worldwide that is prominent economically today has mostly moved away from entomophagy", it's just white-washing for neo-colonialist cultural supremacy: savages eating "lower" foods, while the cultivated civilized elites eat the "better" stuff. It's bs, man.

I never said you were raised in the West. I mean this kind of "relativity-blind cultural supremacism", I'd wager is big foundation of racism.

"pretty much every" "prominent economically today" "mostly moved away from"--it's a pretty weakly worded claim (weaselly worded to take the stance of another commenter, which to me suggests you're merely arguing for troll sake, by loosening up your position to give you the most strategic room to manoeuvre. If that, I'd just say pick a topic that makes you look less dumb and insensitive).

It's also completely incorrect: Brazil, India, China -- they like their insects.

Economic prominence: admittedly, I think this view is controversial, but according to CIA and IMF China is now larger than US economically[0]. And using more traditional metrics, the BRICS block combined GDP is larger than the US, the "most of" the BRICS block (of em, "economically prominent" countries to put it, um, delicarely) eat insects.

You are the backward ignorant bogan looking into your neighbourhood and proclaiming it the whole world, while speaking of things ignorantly and arrogantly outside your ken. The Court Philosophers who would hang Galileo for challenging their Precious belief that Earth was the Center of the Universe.

Come on, man. That's not scientific. That's backward, and ugly. I'm sorry, but it's true. :P ;) xx ;p

It's not because a system leaks energy that it necessarily loses its value completely. When I use a light bulb, I need electricity and heat is generated. But the light is providing what it's used for. The loss of energy is not important enough to jeopardize the system - it still successfully accomplishes its goal within the set parameters.

ARMv7 (32 bit) has slightly better code density than RISC-V 32 bit, although that will change with the next crop of RISC-V extensions (and already did to a certain extent with the B extension).

ARMv8/v9 (by which I'm sure you mean A64 / Aarch64) is where RISC-V has the big code density advantage. And RISC-V right now has proven cores in mass-production up to the A55 level, with A72 level (e.g. Pi 4) having been around on developer boards for a year and hitting mass-production at around the end of this year.

A76-level RISC-V will be demonstrated on a developer board within the next six weeks or so, and available to developers first half of next year. That's Intel "Horse Creek"(using SiFive P550 cores), and also there is something called "Dubhe" coming out of China which I think is related but they don't like to say so.

M1-level RISC-V is on the drawing boards, probably out in 2025.

RISC-V is behind, but can already take on a significant part of the ARMv8/v9 market.
>Because Google would then become a business with virtually no revenue - and no chance of producing revenue.

kagi.com bets on becoming a business with revenue. In the same way, Google could start asking money for searches without ads.

In the long run, Google should make more money because a society that runs on the best available information will be more valuable. The information market will be bigger and thus Google's income should be bigger.

The problem is that it's too easy to pitch advertisers against each other and force them to pay a huge fraction of their profits. On the other hand, profit margins in a transparent market are small.

Google could become something like Bloomberg and sell their good information to companies for high margins.
You sound like someone from the 90's dismissing Linux.

The bottom line is that ARM represents vendor lock-in and broken market with only one seller. A company can take it upon itself to design a high-end processor for servers and be successful (like Apple did for user machines) but it's certain it won't choose the ARM arch, that would make no sense. Now that the RV arch is established and growing it's inevitable that it will be the arch of choice, because no-one in their right mind is going to tie their hands and donate money to ARM for nothing useful in return.

Yes, CPUs are expensive to design, but it's amazing what a free and functioning market can produce. We're about to find out exactly what.
But the ting is, you have no idea if not even a single GET request fires of an internal batch job to do X on the DB.

From a programming point of view, do not make one of the biggest mistakes of x11: keep wayland code statically linked, do not create zillions of client libraries and then depends on their ABI. Wayland is so simple anyway, that would be kind of ...

The only "fake" exception is xkb, since it is not part of wayland, client-side keyboard key symbol resolution has to go thru libxbkcommon ABI because you don't know where the data files are, unless a standard environment variable is defined, and you cannot be sure the format of those data files would be working with your code, unless the format and file hierarchy of those data files is simplified and posix-ized/iso-ified for forever namely _without_ versioning.

Since I play games on elf/linux, my main issue is the steam client without wayland support, not even a wayland->x11 fallback (they don't even have a vulkan->GL->CPU fallback, not to mention the 32bits code...)

> In the end, the researchers unearthed a total of 56 episodes of hyperinflation, many of them previously unreported in English-language works. It needs to be noted that the criterion used in their paper is very strict: a consumer price increase of at least 50% in a month. This excludes countries such as Israel, Vietnam, or Italy, even though they experienced many years of very steep inflation - and in the latter two cases, ended up with banknote denominations all the way up to 500,000.
Oh, I totally agree. But I guess I was thinking that some little out of the way food-focused bloggie by some local traveling lass was maybe slightly less likely to be a propos psy-op than the trash served up constantly by the lamestream media.

Modern spring boot apps I've seen are actually really easy to debug. More often than not there isn't even an interface used, the dependency injection is just for having easily mockable unit tests. In my opinion it doesn't feel obfuscated or hard to debug, especially because the tests can be easy to read and write.

In saying all this I normally use js or python for personal projects, it's just that I still see JVM projects specifically using these frameworks (spring, quarkus) working fantastically for long lived, enterprise apps

Aeron Cookbook: reliable UDP unicast, UDP multicast, and IPC message transport.
Couldn't this be solved by something like remote attestation?
Yes/no. The (formal) reason SFMTA went with the Thales/Alcatel system was the ability to overlay the new setup over the old. None of the other bidders met that requirement. Depending on the hardware side of things it's entirely possible you couldn't/wouldn't want to run the two systems in tandem with BART.

That said BART wanted to run AATCS trials on the mainline in Oakland. No clue if they actually managed to do that before GE pulled the plug on the project.
It strikes me that open source hardware should be more common. It's surely much easier to monetise than open source software: you just sell the hardware, because noone wants to build one themselves. Why isn't it?
Yes they had vulnerability. It is embarrassment when you have too many of them or when you dont fix them.

The "hundreds of millions of devices are at risk" thing happened only because log4j is used a lot. That is pretty much opposite of embarrassment.
I 100% agree with you. I struggled with math through school. I remember wondering what the heck the point of matrices was when I was first learning about them in 10th grade. I got to grad school and I had a professor who explained everything as a problem we were trying to solve and then gave us the tools and then finally the theory. Math went from a constant fight to a fun experience. Now I run the data science department at a corporation (turns out matrices are really important).

Modules system was a necessary evil: it’s Hyrum’s law with the back then slowed down development of the JVM — every observable behavior of the system was hardcoded against, so the JVM devs had to build a wall against the changing internals to have any chance of continuing the evolution of the platform. Libraries that use never-agreed upon functionality are the ones in the bad here.

Or perhaps the nominal amount of money in a customer's pocket is relevant to the clearing price, even for bread and oil?

This is basically what Georgism [1] aims to solve.

I don't think it's only a matter of imposing a land value tax, though. I think government regulations like zoning and poorly thought out housing code impede development the most. A developer would rather profit off their land. A land value tax incentivizes development from the back but you have to remove the barriers from the front as well.
