It's very difficult to see normal computers that normal people use needing it any time soon, I agree. Frontier has 9.2PB of memory though, so that's 50bits for a petabyte and then 4 more bits, 54bits of memory addressability if we wanted to byte address it all. Looking at it that way, if super computers continue to be funded and grow like they have, we're getting shockingly close to 64bits of addressable memory.

I don't know that that really means we need 128bit, 80 or 96bits buys a lot of time, but it's probably worth a little bit of thought.

I don't know how many of you remember the pre-386 days. It was an effort to write interesting programs though, 512KB or 640KB of memory to work with but it was 16bit addressable and so you're writing code to manage segments and stuff, it's an extra degree of complexity and a pain to debug. 32bits seemed like a godsend when it happened. I imagine most of the dorks on here have ripped a blu-ray or transcoded a video image from somewhere, it's not super unusual to be dealing with a single file that cannot be represented as bytes with a 32bit pointer.

It's all about cost and value, 64bits is still a staggering amount of memory but if the protein folding problems and climate models and what have you need 80bits of memory to represent the problem space, I would hope that the people building those don't also have to worry about the memory "shoe boxing" problems of yesteryear too.

I once thought I was an introvert but just realized it wasn't the case in practice and now people are surprised if I tell them that, so it's not really impossible to find some balance.

I think a lot of people have convinced themselves that they're strongly typed as introverts for a lot of various reasons. But people often exhibit desires and behaviors contrary that aren't exactly hard introversion, and discount that it's possible to change or adapt for the better.

I frequently see posts for my city's subreddit basically saying "I am lonely but I don't go out and talk to people or try to because I hate everyone". Or people find it unimaginable that you can go sit at a bar and interact with strangers---meanwhile we do it online all the time. I feel like this is the status quo for too many people.

One example is needing downtime after social interaction. This really isn't uncommon even among people who aren't introverted. Social interaction is a source of stress that can be net positive and it doesn't mean you're introvert if you need a break. If a lot of a person's social interaction has historically been and continues to be negative, then one might associate themselves more heavily with introversion which can reinforce having negative interactions (Why improve social skills or seek out positive social interactions if it feels like everyone is always a jerk?).

But a lot of social interaction people seek out isn't as simple as small talk. A lot of geeks like sharing code and participate in various online communities. I like being able to isolate and get work done and also interact with people about work. Too much of one or the other isn't always useful.

My personal view is that a lot of social interactions and social life in general has been disrupted by tech, and we're still figuring out how to make it work.
Yes. Exactly

A friend of mine who is a writer made a podcast where she spoke to writers about how they write and their writing. She made ~100 episodes.

It was incredible how professional it sounded. It was really remarkable.

That's what podcasting makes possible.

It's not a 'mass' medium such that cultural commentators can write about 'the hits' and where anyone cares what they have to say. With Serial being about the only big exception.

But podcasts are a fantastic medium and they are different from radio.
> It's as if they think introducing an obviously-never-going-to-be-used substitution clause is a get-out-of-jail-free card for IR35. Meanwhile some of these "outside IR35" roles require hybrid working where the contractor's time and place of work are controlled, pay based on time and use a rolling contract, have no fixed scope or detailed specification of services to be provided, etc.

If you read HMRC guidances, ultimately if they want someone get done for IR35 (as in committed for years long court saga and bankrupted), then they can always claim the contract clauses for substitution, no control etc were specifically to avoid paying tax.

They have so many rules about substitution, it almost impossible to adhere.
For instance, let's say you have a 3 months contract and you never had to use substitute - for them it's a sign, that it was a personal service.
If you used a substitute - they can claim you used it to legitimise tax avoidance.
Let's say that argument fails - they'll ask if substitute was doing exactly the same work - if you did some coding, got ill and sent a substitute and you were back to work before they could get up to speed, it does not count as legitimate.

Another card up HMRC sleeve is that they can ask if the client could hire the substitute directly, e.g. if you used your colleague how was a contractor and available at the time. If the client could get that person themselves while you were ill, then it does not count.

If you sent a contractor that previously worked with the client, this in the eyes of HMRC also does not count.

There is many many more rules like this and this is designed to exhaust the contractor accused of avoidance.

To be nailed for control is also easy. If you work at the client's 9 to 5 because these are also your business hours and it is convenient to be at client's office, but you didn't have it written in the contract, the HMRC may claim a "hypothetical contract" where in fact you were controlled.
Or if you worked I don't know 10 to 6 at your home or office. The HMRC can claim that you arranged it that way to try to avoid paying tax.

You can't win if they put a mark on you.
If "skirting Apple privacy rules" amounts to opening a web link, then it absolutely is Apple's fault. If Apple provided SFNextPaymentsInformationExporter, and a malicious app used that nefariously, and then the app was approved, that's entirely on Apple.

If Apple wants to advertise security and privacy, as well as enforcing App reviews, then I consider that to be enough to hold them accountable if they fail their advertised promise. Apple did not respond by removing the offending app from their store either.
This is funny in some ways. You have all these people insist that it is bad and the people in comments you always have a contingent that like it.

I didn't watch it so I have no opinion so far. But, I also hear people say "Netflix is a wasteland of unfinished shows" but I still like a lot of shows and movies on Netflix.

In a way, these people portray it as so shitty that when I do watch these shows I enjoy them. To these naysayers high expectation was met with disappointment. For their readers who watch it anyways, low expectations are met with enjoyable mediocrity.

I don't care how much money is spent on it, does it entertain me? Can I turn off my brain for a few hours and watch this? That's my low bar.

This is based on tolkein's work, these stories are obviously not written by him. The audience is also basically every prime subscriber not a nice audience of fantasy book readers tokein wrote for. The culture and social dynamics have also changed a lot since the early 2000s movies.

I mean, I was shocked when people were hating the hobbit, it was in some ways better than at least "the two towers".
Great, then I will probably never use it, and anyone who has an iPhone and another windows device.

Or any other mismatched devices ecosystem, the locked in ecosystem dream of apple is only applicable to extremely tiny amounts of people.

The person who watches Days has had an appointment for a long time. They value TV a lot and might buy a streaming subscription, but might be as ready to trade Days for a different habit than watching Days on Peacock. That daypart is full of low-value ads anyway (things you can spend your government benefits on) so it isn't the most lucrative show.

Still, Days has been around longer than Thursday Night Football (since 1965!) so it is a storied IP to take streaming only.

Mobile is different. But on a desktop, most people use webmails, and many chat apps are web based. I barely click any link outside of a browser on a desktop.
Not the person you're replying to, but in the same boat.

Personally, "effectiveness of police" isn't a make-or-break criterion for me for where to live. I agree that petty property crime is out of control in this city, but I never feel physically unsafe. And regarding property crime itself, my car is garaged, and when it's out and about I never leave anything in it visible from the windows. As for my home, I live on the 4th floor and have two big heavy doors, one with a deadbolt, between me and the street. Home break-ins are pretty rare in my neighborhood anyway, but even if someone did want to break into a home around here, my home is not the low-hanging fruit that a burglar would zero in on first.
FWIW, while this specific act may not be enforcing significant regulation, software developers need to understand that there's a ticking clock. Modern civic engineers went without any significant regulation, and then that changed. Software is young, it's in the phase where people aren't dying too often for the public to care. But breaches are leading to massive privacy problems, real wars and conflicts are increasingly leveraging software defects, and the impact and scrutiny will only grow.

If you want to avoid having to pass tests, having to maintain insurance, having to do a bunch of bullshit, all just to be a software engineer, get started on fixing things now.

It is absurd that anyone can anonymously provide open source code, with no assurances whatsoever, and that can end up in critical software. And you might be saying "well, it's up to people to audit their dependencies" - and maybe you're right. But I would challenge that everyone has the right to publish code for distribution purposes with zero responsibility.

Publishing code to Github? Sure, go for it, anyone can do it. Publishing packages to package distributors ? No, that crosses a line. I don't want legal requirements, I don't want identification requirements, just to publish and distribute code.

If we want to avoid that we're going to need to step it up - that means, yeah, basic measures like strong 2FA to distribute packages should be a requirement. Signing packages should be a requirement. Acknowledging and triaging vulnerabilities should be a requirement. If you aren't willing to do the above, which is frankly trivial, you shouldn't be allowed to publish software for distribution purposes.

I think we need to start taking a bit more responsibility for the work we do. "NO WARRANTY" doesn't mean "No obligations", it just means no one has a legal right to pursue damages due to your software, you should still do some things.

This show has become a cultural and political football, which is not an accident.

People talk in very emphatic terms about liking or disliking it mostly as a form of affiliation. Critic vs audience numbers are all over the map even for 2022, ratings are crazy bimodal, there’s very little serious cinematography criticism going on.

I’m not even taking a side here, I think it’s fine but not worth the billion bucks or whatever, I have very “medium” opinions, but it seems to be driving everyone berserk in a way that I can only attribute to the power and money of Prime.
The quality of Firefox has nothing to do with the anti-competitive actions of platforms. This affects Vivaldi, Brave, and all the 3rd-party web browsers (or the platform browsers on other platforms, e.g. Chrome on Windows).

Mozilla doesn't make this argument because their browser share is lower than it used to be, but because diversity, not domination, is the goal.
As in all things--sometimes.

One thing in particular that is gratuitously difficult in Rust is to do some very expensive runtime initialization, place the result into static memory, and then do read-only things to that memory after it is initialized.

Rust really does not like that pattern (it always wants you wrap that and takes locks to it with the associated performance hit) and yet it is an extremely common thing to need to do (embedded communication stacks, graphics card shaders, etc.).
True.

Radio 4 make some really good podcasts of their shows now too.

In Our Time and More or Less are excellent.

But in radio times if you weren't in the UK you couldn't listen to them.
I sort of arrived at this as well in my comment above. This is mainstream media with a more outsider take vs insiders actually building stuff on the internet. I still don’t think anyone really had the vision of everything today.
I guess we'll see how the new DA performs.

I'm curious, do you think the previous DA did a good job or did you support the recall?

-- EDIT @dragonwriter --

> I think that debate is about as relevant to the law enforcement problems in San Francisco as a debate over the china pattern in the first class dining room is to the problems with the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic.

Okay... so you don't want to answer the question if you supported the DA or not.

It's very much relevant as we were talking about the performance of the DA and you brought up the recall itself.

You could have easily voiced your opinion of the DA instead of spouting off a silly analogy.

-- EDIT2 @dragonwriter ---

> since apparently you’re doing upthread edits in lieu of responding

Yes unfortunately I hit a post limit so I opted to respond in an edit because this conversation is interesting, thank you for adapting.

> No, its not relevant to the point that SFPD apologists
blaming the past DAs prosecutorial approach for why SFPD won't arrest people now after they succesfully got that past DA thrown out and replaced based on that argument makes no sense.

> It doesn’t really matter if they were right about Boudin when he was in office, that’s moot when it comes to their current (in)action when he isn’t.

You act like it's been awhile since the DA was recalled for not doing his job, it's only been a couple months and old cases are still being reviewed. We'll see if the crime in SF lowers, or how the new DA handles cases in the very near future.

I find it very interesting that you have no problem trying to put blame on the SFPD, who have little control in policies other than striking for change, which they did, while not even wanting to comment on the previous DA which generated the problems which led to the recent recall.

> It doesn’t really matter if they were right about Boudin when he was in office, that’s moot when it comes to their current (in)action when he isn’t.

It certainly does matter as these things take time to progress, they aren't instant. The problems of SF today are the problems because of the last two DAs, not the one that just got in, depending on their actions.

It will take time for the negative incentives to influence the criminals. This is why it's important to always enforce the law and not just let people out.
>but I still like a lot of shows and movies on Netflix.

But are they finished?
I'll give you a technical reason: the Windows API isn't POSIX. Furthermore, it's a monstrosity compared to POSIX.

If you've never felt this pain then be glad you've missed out on the multi-decade cross-platform low level programming nightmare. Modern stacks abstract all this away, and the youngins don't know what all the fuss was about.
> and just work on making a competitive browser.

I think the issue here is that Mazilla feels that they do. The problem for the average user is not “Do I want to use a Porsche (Chrome) or a Mercedes (Firefox)?”. It’s “Which icon is the one that makes The Internet open up and show me all the things I want to see?” They don’t care beyond that.
>We were so desperate for sci-fi stuff that we watched Doctor Who, for God's sake!

Doctor Who was great, opinion disregarded.

I can't tell if the Bezos Rings show is bad or not yet, it certainly has some very corny scenes but it does some things well (for example the casting is very good imo, all the actors are distinctive/weird looking instead just being blandly handsome and forgettable like 99% of shows). I've definitely seen worse.

The Peter Jackson movies were also pretty corny in parts and had no surprises except for the unconscionable omissions, but I quite enjoyed them anyway. Maybe this was mostly affection for the source material, idk. I don't expect the Bezos Rings show will be as successful, but it might be. We will see.

Sure, in the ideal world school would be a productive experience for everyone.

In the current US system, it's hard to justify focusing additional resources on students that are already performing well.
I'm glad Amazon has set aside a vast quantity of money to see this show through and not cancel if after one season.
My point still applies: people don't usually base their opinions on data. They base them on what they perceive directly (e.g. seeing a crime) or indirectly (e.g. hearing about a scary crime).

Even if confronted with data, people will interpret it based on their opinion.

Crime report data is up? That could mean:

A) law enforcement has been doing a better job, so people feel it's more worthwhile to report crimes, or

B) law enforcement has been doing a worse job, so people don't bother reporting crimes

Whether someone interprets the data as meaning A or B depends on their opinion more than it informs their opinion.
> Not a lot of old people want to die alone isolated in a nursing home with no visitation…. Which is exactly what we did. Let we tried to saved grandma only to (literally) kill her from loneliness and isolation.

I agree with you, but we did worse actually.

Some states actually sequestered covid positive patients, and covid suspected cases at nursing homes with highly at risk populations.

We know who covid kills: People with advanced age and multiple comorbidities. The same type of folks you find at nursing homes.

Those governors that did that - in my mind they are guilty of murder.

For those of you that want to fact check this, I will save you the trouble.

They do not have the rights to the Silmarillion, so being too accurate could get them sued.

Given these constraints, I probably won't be too upset by any liberties they take once I get around to watching the show - never mind that by now, I've probably forgotten most of the lore anyway ;)

That said, I'd have preferred a taller Galadriel and bearded dwarf ladies would have been fun...
I would take a more nuanced approach. I saw Star Wars as a kid (but not in the US), and I thought it was novel and interesting. But I was in my late teens when I saw the prequels. They didn’t strike me as being more sophisticated than the originals. The world was not made more believable by making it feel larger. Instead it still felt like a kids movie(s) but now attempting to be more than that and failing at it. In other words, it failed at staying a great kids movie that adults can enjoy (and before you say that’s impossible, there are plenty of examples of it, from Pixar movies to live action ones). At the same time it failed to become a really sophisticated movie for adults: the world building was half assed, the characters still not multi-dimensional, the story was full of plot holes.

I think this is the problem with dual purposing movies for both kids and adults: you can’t have intricate politics in kids movies and you can’t have simplistic world building in adult movies.
My initial instinct would be to treat the JS and Go as frontend and backend, and not have objects like that coupled so closely, but I don't know anything about this framework
