> blockchain has had plenty of time, audience, etc for widespread adoption

Blockchains have been in a dial-up era. Bitcoin only supports balance transfers and has a hard-coded throughput limit of 1 Megabyte every 10 minutes (1990s modem speeds), and that effectively represented the state of the art of blockchain technology for 6 years. Until 2015, you couldn't even run a simple script on a blockchain (I don't count Bitcoin's extremely limited stack-based language).

The official 1983 birthday of the internet is very much analogous to the 2009 birthday of the blockchain. It was the "spark moment" where the tech was there but extremely limited, and thereafter was a long "dead period" where it didn't do much for a long time as it waited for the world to catch on. Then 10 years later in 1993, the underlying internet technology saw its first really useful framework built on top, the web. 7 years later in 2015, the underlying blockchain technology saw its first really useful framework built on top, a turing-complete programming language. It would take the web another 20 years until the 2000s to build its first true killer apps, and I predict that blockchain's true killer apps (e.g. an Uber killer) won't be seen until the late 2020s to early 2030s.

> Arguably until AOL it was also extremely expensive. When I got on the internet it was with an inflation adjusted $5000 computer, per minute long distance toll charges, and paying an ISP (also by the minute).

Until layer-2 technologies (conceived ~2017 and still maturing), blockchains were also extremely expensive, peaking at tens of dollars for a simple transaction or hundreds for a more complex one. When I first interacted with a blockchain it was through a heavy client that downloaded tens of gigabytes of data to my computer, extremely low network bandwidth for transactions, zero hardware support for key management, one shady exchange that required international money transfers, and effectively zero support for publishing code on the blockchain. That's all changed now.

> For the entirety of the existence of blockchain we've had ubiquitous broadband, social media, smartphones with always available data, etc. The conditions for the first 14 years of the web were vastly different and disadvantaged compared to the last 14 years in which blockchain has had plenty of time, audience, etc for widespread adoption and yet it still hasn't happened.

The internet was a technology built on the progression of hardware and software tech; blockchains are built much more on progression of software tech. Blockchains as a framework need to get good enough to be able to support killer apps; they are not good enough today, but they are in intensive development along straightforward roadmaps to alleviate a lot of the pain points.

gb is a legacy of an earlier system when a naming system in the UK was big-endian: gb.ac.cambridge etc (example; I no longer remember any of them for real).

> Blaming the OpenSSL developers for writing bad C is just a "no true scotsman" at this point, since there is no large, popular C codebase in existence that I'm aware of that avoids running into vulnerabilities like this; vulnerabilities that just about every other language (mainly excluding C++) would have prevented from becoming an RCE

No, this whole thing is about the lack of testing. Adding a parser without matching tests is just absurd regardless of the language it's implemented with. If only for basic correctness check, you want a test.

Not all vulnerabilities or bugs are memory-related, vulnerabilities are bound to surface in any language with that kind of organizational culture.
If what they were doing is a commodity product, I would agree - but it's not - it's much more upmarket, in which case being in the USA is essential to their long-term success. Disney cruises are 3x their competitors cost-wise, for example (as I learned the painful way recently).

Shanghai and Hong Kong Disney are also being held hostage to the Chinese communists and their covid and anti-western policies. The contract with the oriental land company is very limiting on Disney.

I suspect we would see expansion in Brazil before anything else at this point
One thing I'm really looking forward to is standardization of binary literals. Bitwise masking makes a lot more sense with binary literals than hex literals.

I love that they put so much work into trying to solve this when there is an equally trivially simple mechanical solution that works just as well and easily scales up to any number of users:

1. Put consecutive numbered tiles in an opaque bag.

2. Each person reaches in and blindly grabs a tile.

3. Play proceeds in the order of tiles.

You can think of dice rolling as simple random sampling with replacement. It's naturally good at generating combinations. Drawing from a bag is random sampling without replacement. It's naturally good at generating permutations.

Using a system that generates combinations to generate uniformly distributed random permutations is a super fun mathematical exercise and I'm sure this brought plenty of joy to the authors. But if you're just trying to design a physical mechanism to generate permutations, it'll be an easier starting point if you do sampling without replacement.

In fact, if you do want to generate permutations with dice, a simple (but laborious) way to do it is:

1. Choose an arbitrary ordering for the players.

2. For each player, roll a die. If the value rolled is the same as any value rolled by a previous player, re-roll. Continue to re-roll until a unique value is rolled.

3. Play proceeds in the order of values each player rolled.

You'll probably want to use d20 or some dice with a large number of faces relative to the number of players in order to minimize collisions and re-rolling.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe this will generate an unbiased ordering where the order of players in step 1 has no effect on the resulting order determined in step 3.
I wonder if there's new feature or improvement Apple could introduce that would actually increase their sales. It seems like at the moment people buy the new iPhone because 1/ they need/want a new phone, 2/ they want an iPhone, and 3/ they want the new iPhone.

Apple know what they need to do to be successful, and that's continue to release updates to the iPhone that in a few small ways make it slightly better than the previous one.
Both grew during that period. Cause and effect is anecdotal?

I'm reminded of a correlation between the eastern seaboard illegal rum-running trade, and the salaries of methodist ministers. The tongue-in-cheek suggestion was made that either the Ministers benefitted from the increased turmoil caused by rum, or that the Ministers were directly involved in the trade!

In my circles I can't think of a single developer and/or power-user that use, or plan on using Windows 11 (except in a virtual machine for quick compatibility-testing). We're all on micropatched W7's or Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC - otherwise Linux. W11 has sort of become one of the topics we joke about during lunch.

Power-users do not care about a cool and stylish UI, new icons or a simple working search function.

This is _really_ cool. Early in the pandemic I released a local news aggregation tool that aimed to aggregate COVID-related content and score it for relevance using an ensemble of ML classification models, including one that would attempt to infer an article's geographic coordinates. Accuracy peaked at about ~70-80%, which was just not quite high enough for this use case. With a large enough dataset of geotagged documents I'm pretty sure we could've improved that by another 10-15% which would've likely been "good enough" for our purposes. But one of the surprising things I took away from the project was that there's not a well-defined label for this category of classification problems, and as a result there's few datasets or benchmarks to encourage progress.

It doesn't answer your question, but here's how I escaped a printer-less environment decades ago and became much more productive:

My first salaried job in the 70's was being hired as the fourth programmer in a tiny Palo Alto contract programming company. We had a couple of Data General minis, two slow teletypes, and no CRTs. We worked on large assembly language programs, marking up listings for as long as possible before reprinting. After I couple of years (during which we only gained a 30 character per second dot matrix printer) I quit and looked for a company with better resources. Found a decent job at a company that happened to also have a 300 line per minute chain printer. It was heaven.

Yeah, I feel like we work in completely different realms of programming. Which is fine; there are plenty of languages out there for all kinds of use cases. FWIW, pre-allocation absolutely doesn't work when you support loading GB-size datasets. You certainly can't leave it sitting around forever either once it is loaded.

GP seems to be from Australia, where a random timetable I found shows a Sydney-Canberra train has 10-25 minute stops at various stations -- I assume the larger ones. I've experienced the same on trains in the USA.

It's called "dwell time" if you want to Google, but in Europe I'd guess

- at many stations it's around 1 minute

- at large towns it can be 2-3 minutes, especially if it's likely many people will board/alight

- at the very largest through stations it can be 5-10 minutes. That would be somewhere you might expect half the passengers (or more) to change, like Berlin or Madrid.

Metro and commuter trains have more doors to make boarding/alighting faster. Long-distance trains have fewer doors to make the interior quieter and more comfortable.

I should have said "Blockchain applications outside of cryptocurrency" but as you seem to equate the two let's talk about that.

A good metric is: "people are using it".

That is not the case for any cryptocurrency (yes and that includes El Salvador). I frequently wire money across borders and cryptocurrencies are still completely useless for it despite it being the number one use case that is shouted from the crypto rooftops.

So you're left with: "It made a ton of money for rich and a few lucky middle class people" and "some quasi dictator implemented it as an additional currency without a mandate".

How is it symbiotic? The developed, urban areas generate enough revenue to subsidize suburbs. Without those urban zones suburbs cannot generate enough revenue to provide the infrastructure and services they use.

If the suburbs were to be re-zoned for more dense development and mix-use zoning I don't think the urban areas would see any drop in revenue. They would probably see an increase.

Yes, I used to write web applications in Haskell. I did that before Rust was viable for writing web applications (and way before Rust reached 1.0). The community has IMO become a bit smaller after Rust became so popular.

I still miss HKT and the productivity benefits from those (the classic mostly true joke is that there are multiple npm packages whose entire functionality can be replaced by a single function in the standard library, `traverse`), but Rust's traits system is good enough.

To be clear, this problem (prime searching) works well on a single compute node. It doesn't work well if you have to scale to many nodes, because communication latency quickly bounds your speed.

That's why GIMPS is the way it is: with volunteers offering computers that are separated and do a siloed calculation.
Some companies simply don't care about the environmental benefits of remote work; they want their employees located together in brick and mortar offices.

Does anyone know of such a study?

Apollo 17 launched at 12:33am on Dec 7th 1972, and entered lunar orbit at 2:47pm EST on Dec 10th, so, roughly 3.5 days.

Artemis I launched at 1:47am EST on Nov 16 and entered lunar orbit on Nov 20th at 2:09pm ET so roughly 4.5 days. Remember too that Artemis I isn't meant for a landing, instead it entered a distant retrograde orbit which orbits at a considerably higher distance from the surface. Spacecraft move considerably slower at higher apogees, so I don't think there's anything suspect about Artemis I taking a bit longer to reach it's planned orbit around the Moon.

NASA is optimizing for different capabilities than SpaceX. With SpaceX's Starship every launch will require them leaving fuel for landing. Every gram of fuel you don't burn is less velocity you impart on your vehicle.

To get to the Moon a Starship will require two launches. A manned vehicle and a fuel tanker. They have to dock in Earth orbit, refuel, then the manned vehicle transfers to a Lunar injection orbit. It's very likely a Starship will need a tanker waiting on the Moon to refuel a lander for the return trip and landing back on Earth.

Starship hasn't even flown let alone demonstrated in-orbit refueling. SpaceX hasn't even demonstrated that in the small scale with Dragon capsules. It's a hard problem with a lot of unknowns.

SLS can launch the manned element directly into a Lunar injection orbit. It doesn't require any refueling to get anywhere. It also doesn't need a fuel tank at the destination to allow a lander to return home.

In order to do that the launch stages don't save any fuel for landing. It's "more expensive" to use expendable stages but all of their energy is used for their payload and none is saved for landing (and landing safety margin). Overall SLS is mass optimized rather than cost optimized.

The NASA way involves a lot fewer moving parts and <unproven technology goes here>.
