Wow this is amazing! I wish I'd known about this when I was trying to hack an optimization into a fork of GCC in undergrad years!

What really excites me though is this: I've frequently noticed a big tradeoff libraries make between ease-of-use and efficiency. For example, pimpling everything to make the API consistent. This isn't particularly efficient, but it's done to make the library easier to use. Similarly with lots of other interfaces that might incur tons of random little heap allocations to make it convenient to write the usage code.

Now imagine a future where library writers ship plugins with library-specific optimizations/rewrites. Suddenly, you can get the best of both worlds: nice interfaces and none of the overhead.

Anyone know if Clang supports something like this? Is there any work on a standard compiler plugin interface?

Suppose you have a grand piano recording set up something like this https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e4eb2464b05f... or like this https://i0.wp.com/royerlabs.com/photos/rec_tips/piano/Mancin...

Not only you have a multitrack recording to play with when mixing/mastering, but the tracks are naturally frequency weighted due to spatial positioning. Mix these tracks into stereo with some panning and play it on a decent set up with large-ish (say 5m) scene. You end up with unnaturally large grand piano spanning the whole scene. It does not sound "natural", but gives fake perception of "scene".

The whole audio field is weird constant chase between production, recording and reproduction (e.g. in the 90s V shaped frequency profile used to be quite prevalent to sound good on boomboxes) which gives perfect breeding grounds for audiophilic mysticism. No set up will ever be able to "naturally reproduce" both rock concert and chamber orchestra.

I have noticed that there are two types of audiophiles. The first kind has certain collection of records and strive for a set up that gives them the same goosebumps they felt first time hearing the recording/concert, the second kind lives off giving goosebumps to their audiophile friends bringing their own records. Both live in constant grind for perfection that they will never achieve.

> This is utter nonsense

It simply doesn't correlate with your worldview, that is why you are being all dismissive.

> Unlike Russia, NATO isn't invading members in order to force them to join.

Note the "in order to force them to join" clarification. Cuz one can't say simply say "NATO doesn't invade", right?
Why would NATO spend additional resources, bother with citizenships, social infrastructure or take on any additional responsibilities, when they can just instill a loyal government? E.g. why would the US bother with providing Iraqis the perks of American citizenship, when they can just order the new government whatever they want.

IMO, the pattern of invading faraway states, crushing them, and then leaving without taking any responsibility, after establishing a puppet state colony, is a much more evil thing than squabbles between neighbors over who gets to be responsible for some territory and who will have to spend money on healthcare for people on it.

> Countries are begging NATO to let them in so that they have some measure of protection against Russia.
> NATO is not some "supremacist idea"

Riiiiight, "begging", but its definitely 100% "not supremacist". Hard to argue with that kind of a worldview. I've linked the list of NATOs military operations somewhere above. Can you tell me how much of them have anything to do with Russia and how much seem suspiciously aligned with someone's (not pointing fingers) political and economic goals?

> Ukraine did not seek to join NATO due to the US asking it to, it sought to join NATO to defend against Russia after overthrowing Putin's puppet in 2014

The US had started pushing Ukraine towards NATO much earliear than that, actually. At first it happened during Bush administration, which caused one of the first huge alienations of a newborn Russian Federation from NATO. Look it up, it's just a self-fulfilling prophesy that had been brewing for a rather long time.

Also, just note how mundanely you talk of the regime change and "puppets". You don't see how that could be related to local security infrastructure deterioration, do you?

I wonder what you make of the US politicians publicly promising Ukraine protection and NATO membership, but then declining it as soon as it became a place they'd need to actually defend, rather than a place where they can deploy their infrastructure, conveniently just after the INF treaty had been dissolved.

> surely this metadata should be at app/orm layer rather than the database?

I cannot fathom why you would say this, because the way I see it of course it belongs in the database as part of the table definition, as it’s obviously part of the logical schema. Sure, you can’t actually enforce invariants for individual types so that they would be just conventional aliases for the underlying affinities, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid specifying meaningful types.

Which of these would you prefer:

CREATE TABLE example (
id BLOB PRIMARY KEY,
created INTEGER,
data TEXT
);

CREATE TABLE example (
id uuid PRIMARY KEY,
created timestamp,
data json,
);

I know that I want the latter, because it makes my life much easier when reading the schema, and lets code automatically use the right types based on inspecting the schema (though you will need to define a mapping of SQL type names to your programming language’s types, since they are still only informational rather than structural like in most SQL databases). Ideally you might be able to define your own datatype affinities (SQL even defines a suitable syntax: CREATE TYPE uuid AS BLOB), but it’s not so bad leaning into the built-in rules with BLOB_uuid, INTEGER_timestamp and TEXT_json (… though on reflection I admit this is rather perilous due to the precise affinity determination rules, shown in the example “TEXT_point” which would be INTEGER due to containing “int”, so maybe it is actually better that strict mode doesn’t blithely use the current affinity determination rules on the expressed type).

(Actually on the DATE thing I was forgetting and thinking that was a regular feature but it’s actually just the fallback affinity where a type is specified but not matched by any other rule, NUMERIC. Strike out that example as a canonical definition or anything, then. But the rest of the point still stands.)

To be fair, clojure was designed with long lived servers in mind, so the "JVM takes ages to start and load the class path" tradeoff makes sense. A downside is that any GUI built in clojure will either has to jump through some AOT compilation hoops (graalvm, etc), or accept being slow as hell to boot.

This alone has been enough to dissuade me to write anything with a UI in clojure. Maybe the space has changed since last time I tried, though.

"Over the shoulder" reviews sound like they are halfway between code reviews and pair programming.

Code reviews usually mean someone taking an independent look at their own pace, though quick turnaround is always great. You can get classic reviews by simply mandating approvals on pull requests on any system you are using.

You can also get halfway with screen sharing developer's IDE, though if a reviewer doesn't get to easily jump around the codebase, it's not really the same thing (though it's equivalent to what you've been doing in person).

I found screen sharing to work well for pair programming, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for live reviews either.
But you can't selectively re-train them, can you? As in, don't use elements from this part of the training data anymore, but use elements from this body of work that wasn't part of the training data? If I understand correctly you'd still need a full re-training for that.

I wonder if the next step of the browser privacy war will be to generate an IP address for every application or web page where SLAAC is used to prevent IP address based fingerprinting. With separate IP addresses could come a separate hash table as there will be no other services using that IP, defeating fingerprinting efforts on IPv6. It's not like we're lacking IPv6 address space for this as the /64 provided to an IPv6 network is enormous.

Yes and no. It's not strictly speaking correct but in French a diaeresis above a vowel means it's separate from the preceding one. Think about the car maker Citroën, "Sit-roh-en" rather than "Sit-rohn".

So if you squint a bit it describes the noise the word makes accurately but it's not how you'd write it in English.
Is it more like the way datacenters are coded, closest airport?
That was RCT1, and they released a patch quite quickly... I mean, at max half a year after the game released, obviously.

Now that you mention that again, I wonder what the underlying issue here was. Nothing in the game depends on the real time clock, and more importantly, how does reloading the saved progress at an arbitrary point in the future break things? I do remember though that poking around the game files I couldn't figure out back then where the progress is stored at all. When I moved to a new machine, I reinstalled the game and then copied over everything from the old machine, basically replacing the entire game, and still all progress was lost. I could still load the individual save games though–which I always saved right after passing the scenario, so nothing happened. Luckily I was only 4 or 5 parks in, so from then on I made sure to save individual scenarios right before passing them, never after, so the win condition would trigger again after loading them.

This is a brilliant concept.

Several years ago, Shaun Inman was working on a game where you started in 16bit and as you progressed or acquired power ups the fidelity would change.

Since then I’ve wondered how that would look on a bigger scale, maybe even MMO-sized.

I agree, it's not necessarily only login credentials, but could be a shopping cart. However, no shopping cart is needed until the user adds an item to it. Watching the shopping window doesn't need a cookie.

No. I know that we Americans are bone-weary of war. I know that there is a sector of industry and enabling politicians who will always be keen for more war. I know that Russia has been a scapegoat for American political failures.

No. This war is different. It is a genocidal, expansionist invasion from the last old-school, colonialist empire in Europe, and it has the potential to end our current era of unprecedented peace and prosperity.

Russia must be defeated not appeased, and Russian mafia leaders must be brought to trial for breaking international law. Anything other than that outcome will lead to instability for generations.

I will also point out that if you fail2ban the IPs requesting the spamblock list, it could become worse if the browser just retries endlessly in the background.
