Question for OP: why do you like terminals/CLI applications? What are your needs?

For me, CLI applications are nice because of their ability to interface with others with things like arguments, stdout etc. Dumb and simple to string together a series of applications that feed into each other to give you what you want.

Desktop apps don't focus on that or if inclined would set up rigid interfaces that require communication over IP (read: expensive and inflexible)

Mobile apps grew into this and so will VR/AR/XR.

My call to action would be to encourage you to develop smaller, useful components that others can run to string together their own experiences/solutions.

In mobile apps, this would be providing more integrations to IFTTT or iOS's shortcuts.

My use cases would be to dump information out of apps and grep them. Just give me a damn file I can grep!
I agree that AWS egress bandwidth is a rip-off, but cloud != AWS only. Many cloud providers, from DO to Vultr, offer sane egress prices.

The cheapest dedicated server at Hetzner (an excellent provier indeed) is €44.39 / mo, while their cheapest VM option is €4.51 / mo, literally an order of magnitude less. If you don't need the power of a dedicated server for your small project (and even 10 small projects), you don't need to buy it.

You can't have a free dedicated server, but many small projects can run either entirely within free tiers of some cloud providers, or for pennies a month based on usage.

OTOH you of course can run such small projects from your desktop at home, or maybe even from your NAS or router if they are beefy enough, entirely under your control, and for free!

The key value prop of the cloud for me is elasticity. Say, our project spins up more nodes in anticipation of daily waves of traffic, and then spins them down to save cost when the load goes way down. This won't work so well with long-term dedicated servers.

(I'm totally not an expert here)

There's a ton of archaeological research into human-made stone tools, worldwide. There's very high degree of confidence at this point into which artifacts can only really be human-made, versus made by other animals or natural processes. My guess is organic evidence of human activity would be really unlikely to survive in the South Asian rainforests, so I'm guessing this one of our better sources of information on human activity there.

If you're asking how do we know this refers to Homo Sapiens, versus other species in the genus Homo, I'm guessing we can't really tell that.

The politics of diplomacy is never all black or white.

India buys oil from Russia because of discount rate, but has also pivoted away from using hi-tech Russian weaponry in favor of US & Israeli arms. Until 2 decades ago, India's defense & industrial backbone was Soviet. Currently, its mostly American/Allied western sourced. US-India have a much higher dollar value of defense & bilateral trade than India-Russia traditionally had in the past. Also they both are members of Quad alliance with Japan & Australia against China.

The world is becoming slowly multipolar. There are no two sides anymore. There is US-Russia, Sino-Russia, Indo-Chinese, Sino-American conflicts of interests. In addition to US, India & China have considerable impact on geopolitics - both economic & military. India has been acknowledging Russian misadventures as dangerous, with Modi giving a clear rebuke recently. However, I think the polity is cautious going too far in chorus. Relationships are built over decades & fickleness of US political theater doesn't really help making such costly international decisions. Let's assume US decides to screw over India with sanctions over Kashmir. Would they like to come to grinding halt because a sitting US president thought it was a great idea? Because that's what happened in Pakistan slowly after 9/11. They were military ally with US, but publicly shunned in following years because Pakistan was not clearing the bars set by Bush & Obama administration, despite a lot of sincere effort from the government machinery. No one wants the same fate as Pakistan.

Think of India as another Saudi Arabia. They are thick buddies with US on many matters, but India wouldn't necessarily toe the line, just like S Arabia won't pump more oil to keep American gas prices stable. What they do is their business

> I'd argue that this would be a bigger architectural revolution than porting the existing code and running it in user-land. MINIX3 went through such a change

MINIX is a microkernel architecture - running drivers in userspace is one of its core features/selling points, and one that differentiates it from (modular) monolithic kernels such as Linux. So, this isn't a very solid line of reasoning.

It seems to me that the situation is the opposite - that moving drivers to userspace is an architectural change, which is more complex than porting an existing architecture to a new language.

> Rust code can still be vulnerable in many other ways

Sure, but not vulnerable in the way that the vulnerability under discussion is.

> memory leaks

Much harder in Rust than C, and also unlike in C, not going to result in security vulnerabilities.

> buggy/compromised toolchains

If you're going to assume that your toolchain is compromised, than anything is on the table, including the toolchain inserting a backdoor into the kernel and completely bypassing the proposed architectural change of moving drivers into user-space. And, needless to say, compiler bugs are rare in general, and compiler bugs that cause software vulnerabilities are nearly unheard of (and I've literally never seen one before).

Nobody thinking rationally is going to tell you that Rust is going to eliminate all your bugs or make your code secure. However, by far, the majority of security bugs in the Linux kernel are due to mistakes that the design of Rust either completely eliminates or massively reduces.

And security is intrinsically a tradeoff - the Linux kernel is not optimized for maximum security (which would be something formally-verified like seL4), but a compromise between security, performance, and development velocity. The claim is that Rust will provide significantly better security at basically the same performance and possibly modestly improved development velocity - the very least that one should do is rewrite the existing architecture in it (or, again, a language that meets or exceeds the specs of Rust) and then see what the bug rate is before deciding to take a guaranteed performance hit through an architectural change.

I think it does, but someone independently verify my claim. As far as scale, we should consider that it may take ten years to build a nuclear plant, so worst case we can compare projected storage production in that time frame rather than solely what is produced today. A benefit to my scheme is that roll out can begin immediately, even if reaching full scale takes a little while.
> We need more of these. The path to 100% green energy without coercing people and making decisions that could backfire, is to upgrade the energy grid to the point that electricity is dirt cheap.

These two statements are at odds with each other, however. Every new nuclear plant we build like Vogtle will end up increasing our cost of carbon-free energy rather than decreasing it.

Buying a nuclear power plant locks the energy price for 40-60 years, and all the current buildable designs are more expensive than current renewables plus the cost of storage to make the renewables a firm energy source.

And the trend for renewables and storage is drastic price decreases, slowed down only by occasional supply shortages that get innovated around, which in turn drive prices even lower. So when we replace the storage in 15-20 years at EoL, the replacement will be vastly cheaper. And we get 2-3 of those price drops during the time that we would be locked into the cost of current nuclear.

Our energy future is one of energy abundance, and cheap cheap cheap energy, but it's very unlikely to include nuclear as part of that mix. And any nuclear we do invest in will hinder energy abundance and energy cheapness.

I lived without X11/Wayland for several years. (These days, I live in GUI Emacs with EXWM instead, which has a similar feeling.)

Some tools I had luck with:

- mpv is your friend - it can play audio, video, and display images directly to the framebuffer without X11. It also makes a pretty decent PDF reader combined with ghostscript to render each page to a PNG.

- The Emacs ecosystem is very useful - there are many packages for interacting with common services, and they typically work in both terminal and GUI modes.

- For web stuff, the best solution I found was to push as much as possible into RSS feeds and/or IRC, which have good terminal clients. Things like rss-bridge and bitlbee are great here. When I needed a browser, I typically used Elinks but was never really satisfied with it. I believe if you need decent JS support you're out of luck.

The statement verbatim was

>the algorithm found two factors to be most indicative of job performance: their name was Jared, and whether they played high school lacrosse

That doesn't mean that the "pinnacle of human achievement" necessarily is named Jared and played lacrosse in high school. It means that if you hire people who meet those conditions after filtering using X additional criteria, on average you'll get a more performant workforce than if you hire from the general population after filtering using X additional criteria.

The algorithm found an objective truth. Given the data provided and the question asked, the answer should be indisputable. The only reason to reject it should be because someone thinks the answer is incorrect, but that means that either the algorithm is incorrect, the data is incorrect, or the question was poorly phrased.
The cost already factors all those in.

Land usage or energy density or amount of materials used are all red herrings.

For performance you want to reduce context switches between processes including the kernel. With kernel bypass you do everything in one process in the user space, but you are also losing out on features like sharing hardware resources between processes. With general user space drivers you will gain additional context switches. There are also ways to reduce the cost of those context switches though, like IO-uring that Linux recently got.

> I’m guessing it’s cultural, and it’s somewhat similar to what you see in Japan or Korea.

The Japanese and South Korean governments show vastly greater tolerance for public criticism than the Chinese government does. In Tokyo, if one stands on a street corner holding up a sign saying "Fumio Kishida should be sacked"–odds are, you'll just be ignored. In Seoul, one might stand there with a sign saying "Impeach Yoon Suk-yeol" – likewise, people will most likely just ignore you. Try standing on a street corner in Beijing holding up a sign saying "Xi Jinping should be sacked"–how many minutes will pass before you are arrested?

So, it isn't East Asian culture in general. It isn't even Chinese culture, because in Taiwan you would not be arrested just for holding up a sign saying "Impeach Tsai Ing-wen". On the other hand, in North Korea, you'd probably be executed for a sign saying "Impeach Kim Jung-un". The thing that North Korea and China have in common, is both are Marxist-Leninist dictatorships. So, isn't the real explanation here, not national culture, but rather Marxism-Leninism? Xi Jinping's intolerance for criticism has a lot in common with that of Leonid Brezhnev.

> Or how everyone in the west knows about Tiananmen, but very few heard about Gwangju Uprising.

There is a big difference between the Gwangju massacre and the Tiananmen massacre–the South Korean government has repeatedly publicly apologised for Gwangju. Every year, there is an official memorial day to remember the victims of Gwangju, and the government has established a national memorial to remember its victims. In the 1990s, several of the political leaders responsible for Gwangju were convicted, and one received a death sentence (that death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, and then all the convicts were pardoned.) More recently, the South Korea government has established a national truth commission, for further public investigations of those responsible for the crime. Meanwhile, what has the Chinese government done to publicly apologise for the crime of Tiananmen, to commemorate its victims and punish its perpetrators?

It makes complete sense for the world to focus on wrongs for which there is a refusal to acknowledge and apologise and make amends, rather than on wrongs for which many such efforts have been made. The former is far more relevant than the later.

Andrew Gelman had a good post[0] about the blind orchestra auditions:

> I think they’re talking about the estimates of 0.011 +/- 0.013 and 0.006 +/- 0.013. To say that “the impact . . . is about 1 percentage point” . . . that’s not right. The point here is not to pick on the authors for doing what everybody used to do, 20 years ago, but just to emphasize that we can’t really trust these numbers.

Along the same lines, one recruiting startup did a voice modulation experiment[1] to test the effects of masking gender:

> After running the experiment, we ended up with some rather surprising results. Contrary to what we expected (and probably contrary to what you expected as well!), masking gender had no effect on interview performance with respect to any of the scoring criteria (would advance to next round, technical ability, problem solving ability). If anything, we started to notice some trends in the opposite direction of what we expected: for technical ability, it appeared that men who were modulated to sound like women did a bit better than unmodulated men and that women who were modulated to sound like men did a bit worse than unmodulated women. Though these trends weren’t statistically significant, I am mentioning them because they were unexpected and definitely something to watch for as we collect more data.

Australia did a study[2] where they hid gender on resumes for high level Australian Public Service positions:

> What we found is that de-identifying applications at the shortlisting stage of recruitment does not appear to assist in promoting diversity in hiring. In fact, in the trial we found that overall, APS officers generally discriminated in favour of female and minority candidates. This suggests that the APS has been successful to some degree in efforts to promote awareness and support for diversity among senior staff. It also means that introducing de-identification of applications in such a context may have the unintended consequence of decreasing the number of female and minority candidates shortlisted for senior APS positions, setting back efforts to promote more diversity at the senior management levels in the public service.

> Gabbard was a weak link in her own party, she's been deliberately contrarian solely for the sake of being contrarian.

The only thing I am pointing out is that the carpet bombing against her did not start until she decided to not be a part of that group. If she was the horrible human being she is being made out to be it should have been news many years ago, not now. Put a different way: If the motivation was to ensure quality human beings become our leaders and questionable candidates are expunged, the carpet bombing about her would have happened a long time ago. It is happening now because she is now the enemy and factions of the media are in such alignment with the party she is leaving behind that they engage in open warfare against anyone opposing them. Regardless of party affiliation, this is not what our press should be about. Again, objectively not good for society.
We could, and would have to, if we didn't have other options that were equally friendly to the environment.

But given two options, one twice (or more) the cost of the other, and with the more expensive option being slower and less scalable, why choose the hard and expensive route versus the cheap and easy route?

The whole paper is about microliths, which are only known to be associated with anatomically modern humans (AMH, aka us). This is just "general background knowledge" in the field, so they don't spend any time explaining or analyzing it in the paper.
