It was never just about Optane. The joint Micron/Intel 3DXPoint technology was meant to be a new type of non-volatile memory who's performance was closer to memory than disk, leading to all sorts of revolutionary changes in the way memory was used.

The trouble is the performance goals were never realized, so the revolutionary non-volatile main memory use case was not realized. Optane/SSD-usage seems to have been an attempt to at least salvage something from the investment given that it was fast enough for that, but I suppose it the end it can't have been cost competitive with NAND-based SSDs. Perhaps the economy of scale would have been different if the technology had met it's performance goals and been more widely used ?

> The irony here is that Youtube videos from ten years ago are still alive and well.

Tons of them aren't. I've run into many linked from wikipedia footnotes that no longer exist, particularly digitized film from the 20th century. A ton of wikipedia pages still cite old films, documentary footage, linking to videos which were uploaded by Jeff Quitney, who was banned from youtube a few years ago because some of the old films he uploaded contained material that ran counter to modern values (I think the one that eventually got him banned was an old christian film warning children about homosexual predators.) When they banned him, they took down a ton of completely innocuous videos because a tiny minority were offensive.

The OP stated a desire to work on low-level systems, which is different from their current job, and my advice was given in that context.
It is indeed: American audiences love characters that are basically just conduits for "does the ends justify the means"-type plots.

I think The Wire is a bit better than that, though: the moral ambiguity in The Wire seldom boils down to justifying the means: plenty of characters are just bad in an individual capacity while doing good in their professional capacity, or vice versa.

The Omar character is probably the most straightforward in terms of the trope, but even he does not act for the sake of the ends: he does it because it's all he knows.
> the largest image that could be conjured is related to viewing content created offline

Its because 1990s world was still the feudal, one-way world in which large corporations dominated everything and the users 'knew their place' and consumed content and products. Occasionally, a corporation would stoop low as to ask users' feedback to improve their product. And people would praise and elevate that corporation as being 'caring for their customers'. That was it. The extent of users' say in anything.

Early Internet still reflected that world order. It was a one way street in which the people consumed what the corporations produced. There weren't even comment forms under any article in any prominent publication. After all, who are you, a lowly pleb, to comment under an article in which a glorious, 6-figure columnist from the 'right background' wrote. Know your place.

User-generated content lived in the fringes of the Internet in those days. It was the plebs' place. The unwashed.

Then comes blogging. Social media. User-generated content starts to dominate and becomes de-facto content. Everything turns upside down. We are living in its aftermath, in which its even hard to imagine how one-way the early Internet was.
Guess it would have been nicer of the donator to send it in small increments instead so plausible deniability (or actual non detection) was more possible.
For anyone who has ever worked at a FAANG like company in the last decade, yes, this is actually very hard to believe.

Despite the shady image they have, these companies go to great lengths to avoid doing shady things (because ultimately it’s bad for business). Not to mention the hundreds of tech employees that would have to be involved and keep quiet in this type of “conspiracy”. It’s incredibly unlikely, I truly believe that.
Mike Duncan is great, I learned so much from his podcasts.
It's not quite that symmetric.

The public having real-time access to police body cams mean that criminals also have that, which means they can see where the police are, which means they can be where the police aren't. Whereas police having real-time data means that (at least in principle) they can be where the criminals are. One of those is a sensible outcome; the other is not.

Mind you, I'm not saying this police access is a good idea. Just that this rebuttal fails.
Weren't they all executed in the end?
This isn't going to get you very far, it's quite basic and not really OCaml specific. These are classic functional programming examples which would translate easily to other languages.

Incidentally, when I interviewed at JS (long time ago), they didn't even ask me OCaml questions (it was more maths/logic puzzle), but nowadays I think they go toward more FAANG style of interview. While they always attract OCaml/Haskell passionates (including academia dropouts), it would be counter-productive to restrict the pool of candidates to a specific language.

Have you considered using a small bokeh image in place of circles in your renderer? Their size is based on the (usually unchanging) optical properties of the eye, rather than the eye's distance to the light, so you'd fade them rather than resize them, and if you round their position to the nearest pixel you might be able to draw them with 2D canvas context speedily.

I agree. For anything that's important, especially if it's mission-critical or commercial in nature, go the legit way. Handing Microsoft some cash means you're buying legal assurance that something will work safely (FSVO safely) in a way where the chain of liability hopefully doesn't stop at you.

- Do you have to personally slip a DMV official several times the actual required fee whenever you get your license renewed to get them to even look at the application?

No, but rich companies can use "We are a job creator" to get permission to ignore taxes for terms that are effectively "indefinitely". We all end up paying more for the top-end bribes. You just don't see it.

- Do you have to directly bribe police officers to get them to respond to your complaint? If you were pulled over for a traffic offence would your assumed way out of it be to personally slip something to the police officer?

If you don't have property of any serious concern, the police do not care. Nor are they required to fill out a police report. What ends up happening are the middle and upper classes with houses get the respect (no bribes), and the lower monetary classes get laughed at.

- Do truckers have to routinely bribe state officials when crossing state lines?

Not the user you're replying to, but some workflows just don't work well in Gnome (yet).

But the combination of key shortcuts and mouse gestures makes it feel really nice to use in practice. Workspaces work like I'd expect, as do Alt+Tab and Alt+`. The built-in apps and settings have a level of consistency the Windows team could only dream of right now. Notifications in Gnome are fantastic. I could go on.

Does that really apply here? If this money can't be touched, then it's a minor time sink with zero benefit.

If there is a way to dump in 100 hours and extract the money, it's worth it because it's so much.

That analogy is more fitting to a 1 ETH donation.
regular yeast dough also works that way, it doesn't need to be "sour" dough for the yeast culture to munch on the new dough food, so that evidence alone is not definitive.
Right, and that's the point. If an open source project can't receive an anonymous donation without a "compliance nightmare", then what does that say about the laws and regulations which created that nightmare in the first place?

Keep in mind that there is, as of right now, no evidence that this cash was "laundered" or in any way associated with any nefarious activity. It's merely anonymous.

This seems like the sort of thing we'll need some cases to resolve.

While I can't agree with melony on buildpacks (shipping OCI containers straight from our CI to Fly has been a game changer), I do agree on the importance of fully-managed databases.

Our app has two components, a backend on Heroku and distributed frontend on Fly. The backend relies on a managed database, and I have not had to touch it in 6 years. Heroku does a great job providing confidence that the managed database will Just Work. The current Fly Postgres offering doesn't provide this confidence.

This is fantastic news for the residents of San Francisco. Now the police can watch in real time from afar, so they aren't at risk of spilling their donuts and coffee in the car while watching close by as residents packages are stolen, car windows broken, and petty theft runs rampant through no enforcement of the law.

We should all be proud of what technology has achieved for society, further reducing the risk of being a police officer. What great benefit to the residents of San Francisco. Many more officers will make it to retirement age to make use of their oversized pensions since they won't even need to worry about possibly being cajoled into action and having to foot chase a thief when they can simply watch crime occur unabated from the comfort of their offices and homes.

I find slow overnight fermentation with industrial yeast can be pretty decent when you don’t have the time to keep a starter going and just want to bake some bread once in awhile. Big fan of no knead method.
Suggest a better alternative so it takes the wind out of the 'we need this to stop crime' sails.

I'd suggest SF instead create a website where citizens can upload their own private videos of crimes being committed and actually expect a police follow-up.

There are thousands of SF citizens that have the exact GPS location of their stolen phone, bike, etc. You know where there's one stolen item there are likely many more, why not use the evidence we have that citizens are pleading with SFPD to take action upon (to no avail).
if you don't care about outliers, then don't quote data that does. Outliers are everything, and without them being stripped the data is meaningless.

I would venture to say there is a higher correlation between wealth to cars, than driving to cars. I would futher venture that if you have 4+ cars, you do less driving than the average person who only has one car per household.

What I mean is just fix that so it works. If you have split stacks the one for data doesn't have to track function call chains.

The advantage of using analysis tools is you only pay for that once. Not with every compile. And the tools are smarter than Rust. You also don't have safe vs unsafe code like you do with Rust.

> If food is wasted before it's sold wouldn't it be better to target the overproduction of food rather than the consumption?

At least some amount of overproduction is absolutely required as an insurance against harvest failures and other similar issues affecting food production.

Now I've got no idea how much overproduction is really required for that and how it compares to the current state of our food production, but I hazard a guess that zero is almost certainly not the right answer.

In chess I drilled tactics puzzles, I drilled endgames, I memorized openings, I studied the game, all things typically considered less interesting than actually playing. Yet I never felt this was very difficult because I paced myself out, I skipped it when I was bored, I did extra when I felt more encouraged, I alloted a fixed amount of time to this sort of practice. I used spaced repetition software and generally optimised for actual learning of the skill.

The big difference with sports and games vs school is that in sports and games you are optimising to win the game, and in school you're optimising to pass an arbitrary test which only exists in the context of school.
