> If group A creates a toxic environment and group B reacts (and potentially contributes to) the toxic environment, why would it fall upon group B to lead fixing the situation? Your disagreement aligns with victim blaming.

I strongly disagree with this sentiment for lots of reasons. Most significantly, because who is to say who created the environment? This is a lesser form of debate sometimes used in American politics, and I'd prefer not to engage in it -- "Rs did Y first, so we Ds are completely justified in doing X."

Moreover, your characterization of anti-Rust folks as somehow "victims" is fundamentally ridiculous. Get a grip.

This isn't leadership. This is nursing resentment.

What caught my eye:

"In-memory computing (a.k.a processing-in-memory or compute in memory) refers to having the processing or computation inside the memory (such as the RAM). Some time ago, before this was done at the chip level, it has been demonstrated that by distributing data across multiple RAM storage units and combining that parallel processing, the performance results in cases like investment banking was 100 times faster. So while in-memory/near-memory computing has been around for a long time, and has gotten another boost from AI designs, only recently chipmakers have started to demonstrate some successes with this approach.

In 2021, Samsung’s memory business unit introduced the processing-in-memory (PIM) technology with integrated AI cores inside HBM memory. In a speech-recognition test using the Xilinx Virtex Ultrascale and an (Alveo) AI accelerator, the PIM technology was able to achieve a 2.5X performance increase and a 62% reduction of energy. Other memory chip makers like SK Hynix and Micron Technology also are looking at this approach.

In the domain of in-memory computation, a breakthrough announcement recently came from the international research team headed by Weier Wan, a recent Ph.D. graduate in the lab of Philip Wong at Stanford University, who worked on this idea while at UC San Diego. Other Ph.D. graduates at UC San Diego who made major contributions to this research are now running their own labs at Notre Dame University and the University of Pittsburgh."

As I referenced in another post recently on the question of what a modern O/S would look like, moving ram closer to compute in H/W is probably as good as basis as any on which to base a modern O/S i.e. better O/S through better HW.

Okay, but everything you said after that has nothing to do with that statement.

You choosing to break laws has nothing to do with criminal vs civil. It has everything to do with where your moral compass points. You choose to break rules because you've decided to do that based on whatever moral integerity you do/don't have.
What is compelling about a Chromebook to get me to spend $999 on one? I have always viewed them as low cost computers. That said, I have used a Chromebook as a secondary computer so I have experience with them.
It seems unlikely that they would be able to share that information publicly, even if they did have it.
I had the same problem described by others here, and the latest update fixed it. Before the update, when I used Firefox or Chrome, malwarebytes said various google urls were blocked, when I tried to access google. Same thing happened accessing various non-google websites, with the same warning about google urls blocked. BTW I'm one of the new accounts mentioned below :-)

Do you know by what mechanism Tether gets CP for USDT? Would they be paying CP issuers with USDT directly? What would they do with it?

I believe you're right just curious about the mechanism.
Just to nitpick but this quote:

"What I want to know is why the wokester position (the official Western "Good Guy" position, otherwise known the Party Line Winston) finds the USA's existence an affront to Native Americans and Mexicans, Israel's existence an affront to Palestinians"

Is not entirely true in the US. The majority of the political class supports Israel and looks the other way to what is happening to Palestinians. In fact right now multiple states have introduces anti-BDS laws (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) to help stop any attempt to curtail Israeli expansion via peaceful means.The Native American population also isn't doing great either which goes against your narrative.

The point is that absence of evidence is evidence of absence - in this case, rather strong evidence of absence. Without perfect information, of course nobody knows - but most people do in fact know with sufficient certainty to not bet on Tether (and to advise people similarly not to). Merely "not being certain" of something does not, in fact, mean that it's unclear what to do.

Rust has some safety guarantees and it is strictly better in that regard than C++. But it’s not a panacea, and the footprint of `unsafe` buried in so many crates is worrisome, especially when novice systems programmers see “guaranteed safety” and make assumptions that aren’t necessarily valid.

Aside from that I very carefully and clearly did not lump all Rust evangelists in a single bucket.

> Ethereum and decentralised apps will still exist, which is all that matters.

Will they, when ETH collapses to being worth less than 10 bucks because you can't exchange it for funny drug money and it's only usable as funny slow distributed computer coins ? When users can't speculate on it, when stakers lose money on running a node because they're getting 5 bucks worth of rewards every other month ?

Thankfully for the Ethereum Foundation, they conveniently prevented people from taking out their stake then did the merge, so that now that someone is in Ethereum, they cannot back out of it. Some might say it was something that only a malicious actor would do, but then again, the crypto community has never really been that bright when it comes to detecting scams.
Two cases

1. You deposit $100 in the bank. It keeps $30 as cash and lends out the rest to someone. The money is still there on the balance sheet (but with a risk that it might not be returned)

2. You deposit $100 with Mr. Paulo in return getting 100USDT. Mr. Paolo spends $70 on private jets and ho*kers. If you ever want back more than $30, you're out of luck.
"Secret listening machines everywhere" was a pretty big thing in East Germany. It's also the central theme of the movie The Lives of Others.

Of course, the ability to scale this more cheaply (throwing more compute at it, instead of more people) is somewhat scary, but it's not really introducing a new capability. Especially since you still have to do something with the transcript. An AirBnB landlord who reads the transcript of what you said could as well have listened to the recording.
From what I can tell (I've only used NixOS/Nix), Guix has considerably more thought put into the UX: Nix is currently undergoing a transition to a newer CLI; Nix's nomenclature is confusing; Guix has much better documentation; Guix has its equivalent of Nix's home-manager built-in.

There is still some division in the Nix ecosystem between the pre-flake and the experimental post-flake way of doing things.

Guix uses an established programming language for configuration, which some might find attractive (I actually quite like Nixlang after getting used to it).

Guix makes installing non-free software a hassle (you have to include community sources). Nixpkgs doesn't impose this restriction, though you still have to explicitly allow the install of non-free packages when running Nix.

Overall, Guix seems like the more polished product, though NixOS/Nix is similar in functionality and has a larger collection of packages and more traction in general.

I think caches are an excellent use case for LiteFS early on. Sorry I didn't make that point in my previous reply. It's a good way to get benefits out of LiteFS without committing to it as your source of truth. Also related, Segment built a custom SQLite-based solution[1] for distributing out cached data that worked well for them.

Do you remember specifics of the cost difference? I can imagine it'd be pretty significant since you don't need to spin up servers with a bunch of RAM.

Not overstepping at all! It's great to hear folks' feedback.
I think this is part of the dilemma(and I am not arguing right or wrong here), but there will be a subset of employees who are okay with giving ground to the employer on this issue, in exchange for job security and some financial security. And this ultimately takes away some of the ground from the people trying to fight the inequality. I believe economics will have the last say in the long run.

Excellent post. Thank-you for this.

And to anyone who thinks taking the Russian point of view means you are Russian shill please view some John Meersheimer on YouTube. He also references prominent and respected IR American scholars who criticize American policy towards post Soviet Russia. It's been a disastrous mess. And now we face possible nuclear war because of arrogance.
I’d love to ask the residents of Bucha or Izium what they think about the relative respect for human rights between Russia and Ukraine but of course the Russian military invaded their land and then murdered large swaths of their population and then buried them in mass graves. These things are just the weakest deflections in service of a psychopathic dictator’s imperialistic war.

It is truly unfortunate that an ARM-based variant isn't available.

When you don't care about single-core performance and compatibility, there really isn't much reason to use x86 at all. For me personally, my priority is by far battery-life (and LTE support is a nice bonus).

> Developing against a relational database requires devs to watch out for "N+1" query patterns, where a query leads to a loop that leads to more queries. N+1 queries against Postgres and MySQL can be lethal to performance. Not so much for SQLite.

This is misleading AFAICT. The article(s) is actually comparing remote RDBMS to local RDBMS, not Postgres to SQLite.

Postgres can also be served over a UNIX socket, removing the individual query overhead due to TCP roundtrip.

SQLite is a great technology, but keep in mind that you can also deploy Postgres right next to your app as well. If your app is something like a company backend that could evolve a lot and benefit from Postgres's advanced features, this may be the right choice.

I've never understood this theory. It implies that the market moves when they buy, but not when they sell?

If the problem isn't that someone is employing existential violence, the response shouldn't be to send a bunch of people with guns. Often the police are called on to harass people who are on the fringes of society, such as the mentally ill or the homeless, and the best case scenario is these people are arbitrarily harassed, but they often end up imprisoned or dead. If someone is having a crisis, there should be a resource society provides you to help protect yourself and them; the police are not that resource.

If we're going to have a bunch of people with guns, we can't tell them that they're warriors, the last line of defense, the thin blue line, et cetera. It greenlights abuse by creating a culture where the rules are viewed as impediments which can be discarded as long as you get away with it, justified as "doing what is necessary," a sort of Dirty Harry or Jack Bauer theory of policing. This creates a culture that imposes it's desires on society rather than one that protects, serves, and defends society.

But also keep in mind that test fingers are used for more than just seeing if it can poke through a screen.

Way way way back when I worked in the auto supplier industry, we needed to test to make sure the auto-up windows and auto-closing minivan doors would actually not cut your finger/hand/leg off. We always used pencils as a first try. They break a lot easier than a dowel rod of the same diameter. If we were happy with the results, we'd get out the test finger. If it looked a little iffy, we'd suggest that the engineers should use their own fingers if they were really confident in their work.
