Forks diverge. Blink is a fork of Webkit, but Blink hardly resembles Webkit anymore. Blink doesn't pull any changes from Webkit

>Eric S. Raymond, in his essay Homesteading the Noosphere,[12] stated that "The most important characteristic of a fork is that it spawns competing projects that cannot later exchange code, splitting the potential developer community"

At this point I just want to add that I'm not a developer and I don't actually know much, I just read stuff online. But yeah, Edge isn't a fork

The excess supply was meant to carry America through supply shocks. You can argue it should have been portioned out slower, but the current high prices seem like the kind of supply shock the strategic oil reserve was meant for.
I assumed it was meant for strategic (aka military) purposes.
When you have a huge oil storage facility, you can make a lot trading spot crude. The strategic oil reserve has historically done very well trading the oil markets.
Napkin Calculation of Brainpower
The human brain fires at 600hz with 1000 synapses on average and 86 billion neurons. Taken together, there's about 56M Gflops assuming firing dumping chemicals into synaptic gap and being summed as a potential on the dendritic surface is a Flop. That's 56 PFlops. That would take about 175 RTX 3090Tis. That many 3090Tis would consume 78Kwh or 100HP. The human body in total puts out 1/4HP so we are 400x as efficient as a silicon computer of similar compute capability, assuming that there are no efficiency gains to be had by normalization, etc.

An individual on an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States who, by assaulting or intimidating a flight crew member or flight attendant of the aircraft, interferes with the performance of the duties of the member or attendant or lessens the ability of the member or attendant to perform those duties, or attempts or conspires to do such an act, shall be fined under title 18, imprisoned for not more than 20 years, or both. However, if a dangerous weapon is used in assaulting or intimidating the member or attendant, the individual shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life.

As far as I know, it's a bunch of specifications for Java, of which there are probably a few reference implementations and for the popular specs several competing implementations (Tomcat, Jetty, Glassfish/Payara, Hibernate, EclipseLink, ...)

> Last month we had six linux desktops at work fail to boot after an upgrade using the disto's built-in update manager because of video card driver issues

We had a similar issue with updated official drivers at a previous gig at a corporate- but leading to BSoDs on Windows using DELL provided drivers (does that count as a Windows distro?). It was re-solved by downgrading the display driver and re-imaging the whole fleet. At a certain scale: you are bound to run into driver issues - unless you're on Mac with its homogenous hardware, and don't upgrade too early.
From personal observation and experience, I believe the BR game mode got some traction after the first Hunger Games movie released. After that movie released, I remember all sorts of "Hunger Games" Minecraft maps appearing online. I downloaded, played and hosted a handful of these Hunger Games "last man standing" maps for family and friends to play.

After a few weeks of that, the game format grew stale, and I stopped playing HG maps. Then a few years later a whole bunch of BR games hit the scene and all I could think of was how similar they were to the Hunger Games Minecraft maps.

That's just my guess from personal experience.
Simulating a Poisson Process in a Stateless Server Environment
The prankster is likely smart enough to be many pranksters.
Here is a Lisp compiler where (eq "foo" "foo") turns out false, in spite of there being deduplication:

1> (compile-toplevel '(list "foo" "foo"))
#<sys:vm-desc: 923d0b0>
2> [*1]
("foo" "foo")
3> (eq (car *2) (cadr *2))
t
4> (compile-toplevel (eq "foo" "foo"))
#<sys:vm-desc: 9270bc0>
5> [*4]
nil

This is because when (eq "foo" "foo") is read, the objects are not the same.
The compiler does constant folding on that expression before merging the literals.
The expression folds down to nil:

6> (disassemble *4)
data:
syms:
code:
0: 10000000 end nil
instruction count:
1
#<sys:vm-desc: 9270bc0>

and that's that; there are no literals going into the compiled image, and so
no deduplication of anything is possible.

I agree. The newer charging stations are so quick at a rest stop, that I don't even notice them anymore. Once it's down to 10 minutes, it won't even be a discussion topic imo.
104 years ago the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Gun could shoot 120 km (75 "miles", in medieval units), but it definitely couldn't hit a 200-mm target. Not even in 69 tries. (Yes, it was rifled.)

To me it seems like a more sensible way to hit a target from 7 km away would be to guide the projectile with movable canards, like the VAPP (or, as mentioned elsethread, the M982 Excalibur or XM1156 PGK). You could even do this with a bow and "arrow": once the "arrow" has gained 300 meters of altitude, it has a range of 7 km if its glide ratio is 24, quite achievable (though a regular arrow has a glide ratio of about 0). And you don't have to shoot it straight up, so you can get by with an even lower glide ratio than that.
Assuming US can print any value of USD out of thin existence as they have done multiple times in last 20yrs, it doesn’t matter for them whether they later buy in the oil to fill the reserve back at 40$ or 400$.

Key issue here is that we are seeing hard assets especially commodities being repriced in USD after a steep cycle. The winner here, as always are gulf countries flushing with cash as they are the real owners of the hard commodity assets. And the losers are developing and emerging market economies with poor FX reserves (as we have seen with Sri Lanka, Argentina etc). Pakistan could save 2.26B rupees since last April by trading oil in rupees instead of dollar [1]. The real monopoly in this world is USD hegemony and it’s once again developing economies who will bail out the monopoly paying steep prices for import.

I grew up in Sacramento - well, one of its suburbs, aside from a brief time after my parents split and my dad moved to Sacramento proper (and then eventually moved back after meeting my now-stepmom and her daughters / my now-sisters).

One thing the article doesn't seem to mention at all is the 2008 financial crisis. The Sacramento area got hit hard, especially suburbs like mine. My specific hometown, Elk Grove, rapidly expanded from being mostly farmland when I was a kid to being the poster child of suburban sprawl when I was a teenager. The population exploded, the housing supply exploded (and got outstripped by demand), and then in 2007/2008 it all came crashing down, with foreclosures and vacancies and squatters everywhere. I can imagine other Central Valley cities got hit similarly hard.

The article mentions people commuting from Central Valley cities to coastal cities. My dad was one of 'em for awhile, commuting from Sacramento to the Rite-Aid he managed on Van Ness in SF. He wasn't rich, and at the time neither was my mom; living closer to SF was out of the question even back then (especially after they divorced). My stepmom and her parents had emigrated from SF to Sac before meeting my dad, and she worked at the same store, making the same commute (and that's how they met, and were soon happily married 'til death did them part when he passed in May this year). It was indeed a long commute, leaving home before sunrise and getting back after sunset.

All in all, even Sacramento was kind of a shithole, let alone the rest of the Valley. Now it's an even more expensive shithole. I ended up leaving to work my first job (because few employers in Sac were willing to hire a high school graduate when they're being flooded with college graduate applicants), and I haven't really looked back; decent memories, but neither the present nor future are appealing - especially when it looks like we're on the verge of another 2008.

Yep, I once tested (and verified) that PSI doesn't account for the asynchronous I/O completion waits (io_getevents) just like Linux system load doesn't. So, both of them would miss the asynch I/O completion waits as a thread waiting for async I/O completion is in S state (not D). Once problem is so big that the block device I/O queues get full and even io_submit() calls hang - these threads would sleep in D state, so would contribute both to system load and PSI.

Edit: I understand that PSI was created as an easy (and cheap) to query metric to see if your Android mobile device has a problem (and some apps need to be killed) and not really for full blown troubleshooting drilldown of server workloads.
This is might just be me misremembering things, but I have a vague memory that, when the "internet trend" was starting to feel less like a trend, and more something that had some staying power, people had a concern of looking ridiculous in the same way they had a generation before, during the nuclear age. "People will be driving nuclear powered cars on the moon!" etc.

Mix in the fact that there was a trend of children making headlines for breaking into various high-tech or secretive areas, and it seemed more like something that didn't have much cause to be respected.

Yes.

I'm doubtful that anything short of requiring thorough security/pen testing on everything in the dependency tree would have prevented log4shell. And if that is the goal here, who is going to pay for that? Most open source projects don't have that kind of funding.
This is most excellent news!!!
If I were a large military that routinely sent pilots on missions around the world, research into drugs like this would be well funded.

In the US, a lot of wind farms are getting repowered with bigger turbines, even when they have many more years left on their current equipment. The advances in turbines means more power per turbine, and higher capacity factors.

Author of the blog post here. Thanks for the feedback and the extra XFS details (I'm not a big XFS expert). Is the XFS "lazytime" the same thing as the "relatime" mount option?
Not necessarily. If I was to run a prank on airplanes, I would probably choose one airline. One one airline it can be dismissed as fake or an employee, etc. If it starts happening on multiple airlines, red flags start to go up all over the place and I would (theoretically, of course) start to be getting uncomfortably close to extremely hot water.

In the latter case almost certainly yes. US states haven't let up on criminalizing DUI, or making the penalties more severe. No state has rolled back penalties on drink driving.

> The justification for monstrously unsafe languages like C was that they're faster.

I don't think that that's true. I find the explanation given by "Some Were Meant for C" [1] far more plausible.

But leaving that aside: what does that have to do with anything that I said? And might I be permitted to make a point about GCC that is wholly unrelated to Rust, without getting a generic lecture about memory safety?

> I was expecting it would be easy to find benchmarks trying the same C or C++ code with GCC, Clang and MSVC and giving performance numbers, but I didn't find that. Maybe it exists and I can be directed to it ?

I don't doubt that there are silly compiler microbenchmarks somewhere. And I know for sure that strict aliasing could in principle make a huge difference. For example, an autovectorization optimization could take place once the compiler had leeway to applying an assumption about two pointers not aliasing, but not otherwise.

However, in practice it doesn't seem to make all that much difference for most kinds of C programs, for all kinds of reasons that are very difficult to pin down. The big exceptions generally involve numerical code, which is why Fortran has always tended to be faster than C for numerical applications. At least it definitely was for most of the history of both languages. (Yes, C was openly understood to be slower than Fortran in cases that were important for Fortran 40+ years ago. I refer you to [1] once more.)

iPhones do it to help preserve battery health. Slower charging is better for the battery, as is being near the middle of its charging range.
The main reason for mentioning the disk I/O demand was that all the other (classic) Unixes only include CPU demand as part of system load and not I/O. This will confuse sysadmins coming from Solaris/HP-UX/AIX/BSD background.

The other reason is that I've troubleshooted plenty of Linux load spike problems that are about CPU demand spikes only, usually due to some spinlock that gets held unusually long or some interrupt storm issue or some sort of a "database logon storm" due to connection pools in the app server suddenly creating thousands of additional DB connections...
People seem to forget the issues that come with storage costs
I think the other statute is somewhat more relevant, because I'm not sure this is "assaulting or intimidating a flight crew member or flight attendant" (as it's more targeted against infrastructure than people!). I agree with the thought that a public address system is a "part" of an aircraft whose reduction in serviceability "is likely to endanger the safety".

You might argue that flight crew could be intimidated by the knowledge that their aircraft is behaving unusually, but I don't think that's particular core territory of "assaulting or intimidating".
For one thing RCT1 was famously written in hand tuned assembly language, but the main reason AFAIU is coupling of components. Early Factorio isn't that bad, but later factories it has to constantly simulate every machine on the map all of the time because everything is running regardless of your presence and everything is interconnected. That complexity scales up rapidly as your factory expands. Games like RCT aren't as dynamic and tightly coupled, so the simulation can use a lot of simplifications to cut down on on CPU use.

As far as we know, quantum nondeterminism is real nondeterminism, not just nondeterministic because you don't know the exact state of both the electron and the slits.

Presumably the Navier–Stokes chaos of turbulent flow will eventually amplify quantum fluctuations (where two molecules do or don't interact) into macroscopically divergent fluid dynamic behavior, but I don't know if the relevant Lyapunov time is short enough to make a bullet's flight quantum nondeterministic.

Not to my knowledge, but it's possible. There certainly wasn't a radio tower around, but there were antennae all over the place, as there are on any large campus. I don't think that's what was happening; it seemed to be different alarms at different times, but I believe it was always the same song. Which seems to me like they were being randomly selected by a script. These were fancy fire alarms and it was 2014, it's entirely plausible in my mind that they were networked and running a vulnerable embedded Linux. I don't think it'd be a Mission Impossible level effort to make this happen.

But, I'm going off of 8 year old memories, so the only thing I can say for certain is that it happened.
Citation needed. Naval reserves[0] were mostly privatized years ago, and to the best of my knowledge, none of the other branches have ever had them.

We have less need for the SPR today because we produce so much, and thus the "supply shocks" it was created to prevent can't really happen anymore—certainly not at the same level as the 1970s.

Prior to Biden draining it this year, Congress had already approved dramatically reducing the SPR by 2030.
