> unless you're doing weird shared-memory things in userspace

Shared-memory things in userspace, i.e. buffers shared between 2 distinct user processes are no weirder than buffers that are shared between a user process and a kernel-mode driver. In both cases the buffers cannot be accessed by third parties.

Moreover, the transfer of data between 2 processes through a shared buffer can be done without any context switch (which could be slow), if the 2 processes are executed on distinct cores. Therefore having the network device driver as a distinct process does not have to cause any reduction in performance, if the means for inter-process communication are chosen wisely.

For any device driver that is implemented as a user process, the kernel can enable direct access to any I/O ports and memory-mapped I/O areas that are needed by the device, so the device driver can work in user mode without requiring any context switches.

Such direct I/O access cannot be enabled for ordinary processes, because those are not trusted enough and also because the direct I/O access could be enabled only for a single process at a time.

A dedicated device driver process solves both the trust problem and the multiple access problem equally well as a kernel-mode driver.
Alex Jones isn't the story you think it is. There are procedures to follow in a lawsuit such as discovery. If you intentionally do not follow them then you get in trouble. He may have been able to muster a "I only said things"/ free speech defense if he actually was trying to defend himself in court.

Instead he didn't participate in the lawsuit and the other party that did is assumed to be correct.

> [1] In both the Texas and Connecticut lawsuits, judges found the company liable for damages by default after Jones failed to cooperate with court rules on sharing evidence, including failing to turn over records that might have showed whether Infowars had profited from knowingly spreading misinformation about mass killings.

> Because he was already found liable, Jones was barred from mentioning free speech rights and other topics during his testimony.

Nice. Just in time for a long weekend on public WiFi with my Linux laptop.
Are ferroelectric diodes more sensitive to external tampering than a “typical” memory circuit? As in, could a device like this be more easily “jammed” by a strong external electromagnetic source? That’s where my head went when reading about this circuit, but maybe it’s no less sensitive than “typical” circuitry?
This could be used to verify the quality of TikTok's data scientists.

They cannot verify them directly because they cannot publish their algorithms and data. So let them do science and figure out who knows his algorithms.

"The report was not considered meeting the bar for security servicing, nor is it considered a breach. No code change was made and so no CVE was issued for this report."

I have made dozens of commits to MINIX3, including a brand-new ISO 9660 file system implementation (https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix...).

I have made more than a hundred commits to SerenityOS (https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/commits?author=boricj).

Just because I deplore the general state of security in mainstream operating systems doesn't mean that I demand that someone else does something about it for free.

I'm not paid to fix security bugs in the Linux kernel, do you expect me to fix these myself for free just because you want to? No one is entitled to my own free time spent hacking on random stuff.
There’s a really good subreddit for this called r/onebag. You can get by with surprisingly little clothing by utilizing wool t-shirts, socks and underwear, plus semi-stylish nylon shorts and pants (I’ve personally had good luck with Unbound merino, Western Rise, and Outlier).

Pure wool is more fragile than cotton, but pretty comfortable these days, resists odor, dries quickly, and is easy to sink-wash.

Shoes are the one thing I have yet to crack — hard to find ones that dress up and down well.

> Cameras probably just don't require such precision.

Depends on the camera.

I think if we combine both of your comments, we get a more clear picture of reality: we've had the ability to manufacture one instance of something with precision for a while, but not the ability to do so consistently, reliably, or quickly.

i.e. tolerances have shrunk dramatically over the past century or so, along with time needed to produce things with such low tolerances.

However, while that is generally true across the board, tolerances haven't all gotten to the same place! Materials involved, costs, time to build, and need for low tolerances still largely affect all of it, of course.

And for some things, individual variations are even considered desirable.
Vim defaults to being a C IDE, no plugins required. The features I called out above are available with no plugins.
Interestingly the user space way is also used in the performance absolutist end of the spectrum, so userspace can talk to the HW without kernel involvement (Snabb, dpdk, etc).

I had a 89 Corvette...designed in the late 70's early 80's before computers were generally used to do so. It was a mass of shims and slotted holes to get things to line up.

I had a 1998 Corvette...designed in the early 90's with CADCAM. No shims. Things like a door latch and door made by entirely different companies, the three holes to attach the latch weren't shimmed or slotted, and the replacement fit exactly with no adjustment.

No need to get upset at the guy. Its their choice to use Javascript in the way they want, rather than let any site that wants it use it. Most websites with articles don't need Javascript, and only use it to push ads/paywall articles. If there is a webapp that they want to use, they can always whitelist it.

As for music streaming and instant messaging, not everyone has/needs Discord, Slack, Teams, or anything like that. If you absolutely need it for work, just whitelist it. No problemo. And, not everyone streams music. I barely used Spotify myself until I got an office job and needed something to fill the boredom.

The issue isn't about stopping Javascript as a whole. The issue is about permissions management. Not every site needs it, so not every site should have it. If you need it to work for a webapp, just enable it.
The modern version of kernel32/user32 is still kernel32/user32. That's the lowest point in the system exposing a mostly stable API.
Why was that infrastructure vulnerable to a nasty ice storm? It is possible to build infrastructure that can easily operate in those conditions.

> vim [...] extensible IDEs that support code completion, folding, and navigation by default.

If "by default", you mean "with the default vim configuration", then this assertion is wrong.

Vim does have a definition-search" feature, but it needs hand-made configuration for each language, and since it relies on regexp instead of parsing the language, it's useless outside of micro projects.

To enable real code completion and navigation, vim needs plugins and external tools. The modern way is to use one of the LSP implementations for vim (I've tried ALE and CoC), but that's clearly not "out of the box" for vim.

This sounds like an entirely in silico research effort. It's also kind of weird, there's apparently no public history of ByteDance or Tiktok doing any kind of work like this. The closet thing is the "ByteDance AI Lab" but that seems to be recommendation-algorithm-focused, nothing about computational chemistry.

It looks like some of their people have recently left for academia, so maybe it's just trying to get people into their AI lab with the necessary skills? Honestly doesn't seem like a very promising role for someone primarily interested in chem/bio applications, though.

> As a commenter put it so eloquently elsewhere, how do we ensure that Bangladeshis and Pakistanis can live like Texans? Because relieving human suffering is my goal.

Are you prepared to hear that it is simply not possible? We have finite resources. If everyone was living like in developed countries, we would consume the entirety of the resources we are currently capable of extracting from the Earth in a year, in only a few months. And even if we expanded our extraction capabilities, there is only one Earth, of which only finite amount of material will be useful and put to good use for our comfort.

Given that, there is only two possibilities: reduce resource consumption, or expand the amount of available resources.

* Reduce: you can either reduce each individual usage, or reduce the number of individuals. Now you see why everyone is advocating for reduced individual usage, because culling the population is seen as 'not relieving human suffering'.

* Increase: it requires going away from Earth and expanding into at least adjacent bodies with the capability of transforming them into useful stuff. To plan for that, you need to prove first that such solution would be possible before we are all extinct from the ecological collapse of our life support systems.

So now you are back to square one: if 'increasing' the available resources is not available right now, and might not even be available in the future, and reducing the population is frowned upon, then you are forced to find a way to reduce resource consumption.

Which might well mean that for everyone to live like Texans, that means Texans will have to change their lives and live like everyone else.

Once our ecosystem has collapsed, a possibility we see approaching close and closer, then *no one* will live, nevermind with the latest F150 or whathaveyou that Texans might enjoy. If your goal is truly to reduce human suffering, you must also entertain the possibility that we must limit ourselves. Someone living hedonistically, trying to enjoy earthly pleasures as much as possible and dying at age 35 to cardiac and respiratory failure, has not succeeded in enjoying their lives the most.

Another question might be: does everyone want to live like Texans in the first place? Are you planning to burn our Earth on faulty ideological or cultural assumptions? Because believe me, when I see how Americans live, I definitely do not wish to join them. You might be culturally conditioned to believe your way is the best, but don't take extreme opinions such as 'climate change is preferable to modifying the status quo' based on such myopic views.

Your logic is correct, or at least most would say so!

Denser housing could solve a lot of housing issues. The problem is getting denser housing built, especially in not-so-dense neighborhoods. This could be for any number of reasons - the accusatory voice in my head likes to think it's mostly due to NIMBYs ("not in my backyard!" or folks that don't want to live in higher density neighborhoods) because of their warped perception of these spaces: higher crime, higher traffic, unsafe for children, etc. Some of these views may be true, but it's not a given in every high density neighborhood. Safe, walkable, dense neighborhoods exist in many places already.

Another issue can be policy, and specifically zoning, which a lot of NIMBYs fight very hard to control. I'm no expert on zoning, but the general consensus among architects and pro-housing people is that it's holding back a lot of potential homes from being constructed. Check this out for some opinions on zoning:
[https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/energy/can-the-us-ho...]

In my previous city there's a popular type of "middle housing" (not high end single-family, and not small apartments) called a dingbat. They at one point in time were crucial for filling the gap in housing but have now been regulated away. Check this out for info on dingbats: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlWvcsGlHA4]

For your neighborhood in particular, zoning regulations have likely limited height to 5 floors. Maybe folks in the community lobbied for this regulation to keep density down, or maybe your towns infrastructure can't support a higher density of cars (and this brings up building code and parking requirements that we have in America) - there could be many combinations of reasons for this density limit, but you should look into it! A city's history of zoning policy can be very interesting, as they oftentimes stem from decades old regulations or segregation.

Your optimism is valid - optimism is incredibly important for solving problems like these, especially when so many solutions exist! Implementing those solutions is usually the toughest part.
Nice answer! I see you've been on both sides of the fence.

SLA? My understanding is that this is typical for connectivity options. Whether you're on a 1:50 aggregation or 1:10 aggregation or 1:1 aggregation may massively affect costs of an X Mb/s connection for any offered value of X.

This gets especially important considering that businesses, militaries, and ships will already aggregate many users on a single link which means that with the aggregate traffic they'll already be using a higher proportion of the nominal bandwidth on average -- AND require higher guarantees for the service on top of it.
In this particular article, we're looking at the window between ~1640 and ~1690. A fifty year interval is a pretty long time in human terms. But it is fairly narrow in technological terms. Steel production did not change significantly during that time.

I still, without evidence, cling to the notion that external technologies (like advances in precision engineering) held things up, but the article makes a very compelling argument that this is not the case, and that it really was a question of having an individual inventive and ambitious and persistent enough to really attempt to reduce to practice the concepts that were floating around at the time.
Blame the fools who believe the misinformation (or better yet, take responsibility for publishing truth in a more compelling form). It takes two to tango, and one of these tango dancers was raised in a country where they were given a right to dance.
If you don't want to be beholden to the state then don't get a state enforced license.

(a) It shall constitute unprofessional conduct for a physician and surgeon to disseminate misinformation or disinformation related to COVID-19, including false or misleading information regarding the nature and risks of the virus, its prevention and treatment; and the development, safety, and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.

> (3) “Disseminate” means the conveyance of information from the licensee to a patient under the licensee’s care in the form of treatment or advice.

This only applies to a Doctor advising their patients. If you don't think professional conduct means accurately representing a course of treatment and it's risk I don't know what to say to you.

Sure, there could be a slippery slope to where disseminate doesn't mean only between a Licensee but that was always true.
This is what I have been saying. Amazon makes people work 8-12 hours a day here in India and its not even talked about.

And this is not actually known before joining. At least bun says that outright.

Some people actually don't mind working hard unlike others if things are interesting. Not everyone is the same. There is certainly more fun working on bun out in the open than solving some random bug in Netflix, Amazon without even being noticed. And with forewarned warning.
Seems like people are criticizing this partially because it's pitched as an alternative to normal tourism. Just wanted to point out that Chris Arnade has done quite compelling photo journalism based on his way of engaging with communities, so what might seem like non sequitors or edge lord stuff might be in service of an implicit goal of his that most travelers don't share.

What you're asking for is a community for a niche concept, activity, or hobby.

What you're really looking for is a forum. A bulletin board, to use the outdated parlance.

A whole lot of nothing being said. Use the right tool for the right job.

If you're familiar with AWS, use it and get running and focus on delivering product instead of fine-tuning all the settings and worrying about the perfect cloud environment.

My honest opinion, using some third party tools/services on top of AWS only creates tech debt. Over the last two years, AWS has improved a lot of their tools to be incredibly easy that any developer can use it. Developers should be able to understand how their applications run in the cloud provider as well.

A lot of media and politicians spread that Covid vaccines prevented transmission. This was of course false, the studies had only measured "serious illness". He or his family would now take with a grain of salt anything politicians or the media say about any topic (as they should). Another example would be the initial calls against the use of face masks, and even claims that they'd even promote infection.

On this post's topic, would what they did now be considered desinformation? What if the politial party in power changed, would they be be able to persecute the other party for desinformation? Crazy times.
