> While I certainly believe that we are doing a lot of damage to the planet right now, we dont need to incorporate every news article into the permacrisis narrative

The fact is we are in a permacrisis situation:

- climate change is accelerating, scenarios expected in decades are reality now (e.g. ice shelf melting, the drought that has hit Europe last summer)

- the invasion of Russia in Ukraine and all of the associated fallout (risk of a nuclear catastrophe at Zaporizhzhia NPP, delivery chains based e.g. on steel of Mariupol or of Ukrainian grain straining and breaking)

- wealth and income inequality tearing apart both Western societies in itself as well as the "Global South" from Western societies

- record inflation without corresponding wage rises accelerating the above, helped by many decades of effective wage stagnation

- multiple Western societies taking a sharp turn towards the right wing, authoritarianism and (e.g. in Italy) towards outright fascism

- large parts of Africa collapsing or nearing collapse from a variety of factors (climate change rendering territories uninhabitable, dictators/kings/warlords/corrupt elites looting their countries, China behaving just as bad as the late European colonialists), threatening mass migration events

- China's internal economy collapsing due to Covid (shoddy vaccine leaving no other containment option than brutal lockdowns), financial mismanagement (e.g. Evergrande) and governmental incompetence

- China increasingly threatening Taiwan with an invasion, an event that would instantly both trigger a China-USA war and, assuming that TSMC is rigged with explosives for a "leave nothing but scorched earth" scenario, many years of a complete shortage of chips, leading to an unprecedented world-wide economic crash

- regional powerhouses in the Middle East (Turkey, Iran) are getting into problems or collapsing, threatening further instability in an already explosive region

Out of all the crises I mentioned, the only one where improvement is in sight is the Russian invasion, given just how hard Ukraine kicks Russia's behind currently - but even with all the progress Ukraine is making, it may very well take a year or more until all of Ukraine is free of Russian invaders again.

Journalists are well advised to point out that humanity is in a state of long-term multiple crises, and that action needs to be taken instead of letting more Conservatives or the far-right into power.

I don't think, and Stability's CEO also doesn't seem to think, that society would receive it as a benefit. Therefore, it's undesirable, right now.
I don't think this makes a lot of sense as a framing.

Although the idea of being the "Continuation of Rome" is sometimes seen to be about dominance over the same areas as the Roman Empire more broadly it is meant as having ideological foundations that began in Rome. And I would argue it is near impossible for the Ottomans to fit this description especially as they were increasingly Islamic and presented themselves as leaders of the pan-islamic world which I think we would agree could not be genuinely thought of as a continuation of Rome.

Wikipedia tends to support this interpretation (I know it's wikipedia but still it does back up what I have read in various books about Rome and its aftermath in hearts and mind). Islam is a totalising belief system that claims supremacy and a "blank slate" to the states that have it as a political ideology. This is in direct conflict with claiming to be a successor to the Roman Empire.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_claim_to_Roman_success...

> Recognition of the Ottoman claim to be Roman emperors was variable, both outside and within the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans were widely accepted as Romans in the Islamic world, with the sultans being recognized as Roman emperors. The majority of the Christian populace of the Ottoman Empire also recognized the sultans as their new emperors, but views differed among the cultural elite. Some saw the Ottomans as infidels, barbarians and illegitimate tyrants, others saw them as divinely ordained as punishment for the sins of the Byzantine people and others yet accepted them as the new emperors. From at least 1474 onwards, the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople recognized the sultans by the title basileus. Whereas views were variable in regards to the legitimacy of the Ottomans as sovereigns, they were consistent in that the Ottoman Empire as a state was not seen as the seamless continuation of the Roman Empire, but rather its heir and successor, as the former empire had far too deep theological roots to be compatible with a foreign Muslim ruler. Thus, the former Byzantines saw the Ottoman Empire as inheriting the political legitimacy and right to universal rule of the preceding empire, but not its other theological implications. In Western Europe, where the Byzantine emperors had not been recognized as Roman either, the Ottomans were generally seen as emperors, but not Roman emperors. Views on whether the Ottoman sultans were the successors of the Byzantine emperors or a completely new set of rulers varied among westerners. The right of the Ottoman sultans to style themselves as Roman emperors and claim universal rule was challenged for centuries by the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire and the Russian Empire, both of whom claimed this dignity for themselves.
Wrt lock design, IIRC Linus writing something along that every time they optimize throughput by getting rid of fairness they have to come back and add fairness later on. That doesn't mean that both fairness and throughput are incompatible, high-performance locking designs are often unfair in the short term to provide the performance boost from avoiding unnecessary context switching, but there is some mechanism to ensure that on a slightly longer timescale nobody is starved.

Wrong, of course, and I believe you know that very well and are trolling. I laid out how to use corroborating evidence to come to a reasonable conclusion about the authenticity of the data while you're just setting up a strawman argument. "100% true" What a nonsense and waste of time...

And to continue the false analogy: Yes, I do believe Arnu made actual photos and not imaginary ones and that's why he has been arrested. I very much doubt he would have been arrested for publishing falsified photos of Area 51.

Is there a sane way of using ccache in Xcode projects generated from CMake nowadays?

For other generator targets, adding ccache was a single line in the CMake configuration, but for Xcode you had to bend over backwards. This was maybe 4 years ago.
The advantage of small reactors is that you can make them in factories (mass production).

The disadvantages are that you lose all on site scale and you are very vulnerable to a single part failure or design floor. Also miniaturising things is non-trivial.

Then you still have all the other issues around nuclear (waste and perception)

Given the cost of nuclear, you need that advantage to be much much bigger than the disadvantages. If someone can do that, they'll make (serious) money. But it's a >100bnUSD project. So I don't think there are many corps who will take that sort of risk given the uncertainty.
Hmmm… okay you are making the distinction between judgement and discretion and saying I’m wrong to categorize this as discretion.

Upon reflection, I think you are right.

Oh definitely. I’ve certainly had the experience of Lin-Manuel Miranda expressing something more clearly than I can.
>democratic accountability is a myth

Then your nation is a farce and you should be rioting. The fact you aren't is due to the decadence that the military-industrial complex provides. Too bad its dependent on the death of innocent people around the world.

Or, just perhaps, you should hold yourselves accountable, and resist the anti-Wikileaks agitprop that is clearly coming from the very war criminals, themselves, in order to escape justice from public oversight.

>Where have I claimed moral authority?

Justifying American war crimes and crimes against humanity, whatabout-ma'-Russia, is a particular type of posturing designed to elevate the moral authority to commit those crimes over any other nation. The USA is not a moral nation, by any stretch of the imagination - it does not take care of its own people, even, and is murdering innocent people, on average, every twenty minutes ..

If that is not the #1 priority for your political mind to address, then you do not have any moral authority to address the Russia situation.

Yes and no.

No because Rusts bigger calling card is the borrow checker, which adds a lot of complexity besides other things in Rust, and even leads to justifying unsafe (because some optimized correct data structures are just not possible with it).

Second no, because if Rust calling card is that, you can have this alone even in the most hated unsafe C++ if you limit yourself and admit to doing it right. If you quote that sentence you must also quote his calling card, which is about culture and complexity of language:

> In addition to this, I think the most important reason we have so many vulnerabilities (and bugs in general) is completely disregarded in the hunt for “safe” code: culturally tolerated and even encouraged complexity14. In conclusion, putting up with Rusts compile times and submitting to the borrow checker seems like an extreme solution that doesn’t address the most important problem, which is a cultural one. Jai on the other hand is extremely concerned with complexity and tries to get the cultural part right.

And in that regard I agree with him, definitely better there than C/C++, BUT NOT MUCH!

That's why I fully agree, Rust may be not it, and something like Zig, Jai, Carbon or even Herb Sutters safec++2 thing may shine one day more..

Rust is overfocusing on the memory safety part, which adds too much complexity while not even being able to get fully rid of unsafe..
JVM has it's own object model (which doesn't even have value type support when defining memory layouts), GC, etc. Bad level of abstraction for low level language target (although it has been tried many times).

Not to mention runtime is anything but lightweight and easily embeddable.
I definitely can relate to the author as well. I think we are all putting a lot of effort in standing out in some way because that is how (western?) society distributes rewards. We favor the things that are special or unique in some way. We celebrate all the possibilities that allow us be special and unique but sometimes overlook that this also generates a lot of pressure and when you fail to stand out its easy to feal inadequate.
I liked the book by Michael Sandel "The Tyranny of Merit" which goes somewhat in this direction.
> It uses TRISO fuel, which are fissionable materials enclosed in a carbon and ceramic shell that's extremely tough and can handle far higher temperatures than are present in a reactor without melting.

I was going to make a top level comment along the lines of:

"How thick/expensive a bunker would one need to build around one of these to prevent it from spreading radioactive materials about when hit by say, an airplane?

As I understand it, large legacy reactors are hardened for this. Would the same level of safety still allow these smaller reactors to be economically viable?"

But now that I have read your comment, would a kinetic event happening to a TRISO fueled reactor be more of a non-event? Follow up, would non-fuel components of the reactor become radioactive over time as well?

Sorry if dumb questions, not very educated in this space.
i mean, sure? then they’re making themselves happy.

again, this is a good thing, they’re happy.
Not quite gone away yet. There are 13 experimental channel 6 stations using ATSC 3.0 to continue sending an analog FM carrier on 87.75 MHz. ATSC 3.0 has reduced bandwidth options of 5.752, 5.671, 5.590 and 5.509 MHz. The 5.509 MHz option is used and the OFDM signal is shifted down approximately 200 kHz, leaving enough room for the FM carrier and modulation at 87.75 MHz.

The stations are WNYZ-LD New York City, KZNO-LD Los Angeles, WRME-LD Chicago, KBFW-LD Dallas/Fort Worth, KBKF-LD San Jose, WTBS-LD Atlanta, WDCN-LD Washington DC, KEFM-LD Sacramento, WEYS-LD Miami, KXDP-LD Denver, KGHD-LD Las Vegas, KMCF-LD Fresno, and WPGF-LD Memphis.

The FCC has issued an NPRM to decide if these stations will continue.

I wish I knew. For some reason, I'm only allowed to post 5 comments per account per $RELATIVELY_LONG_PERIOD_OF_TIME on this very website. I also, for some reason, end up with a lot of downvotes on what look to me like reasonable comments that actually attract a good amount of upvotes initially.

Love me, hate me, or anything in between, but I don't think I violate the guidelines any more than those people who are still in the site's good graces. Since I have no idea exactly _why_ I'm so severely rate limited here, I have no idea how to get out of the dog house, either. Emails have gone unanswered, so I can only assume nobody really cares about my problem.

Nope, unless you're compiling in debug mode, or force enable bounds checking in release.
The iPad in the setup described is just running a terminal with SSH. Emacs (and pretty much everything else described in the blog) is running on a remote server running Ubuntu (so I don't know why he even bothers to compile emacs from source).

"Impressive" is not the word I'd use for running a terminal with SSH. Especially since the iPad is likely several times more powerful than the remote Ubuntu server that is actually running emacs.
I believe the iSH app[1] can run Emacs without jailbreaking the iPad. I use it a lot, but not for Emacs.

The reason for having reserves in another currencies is for your country to be able to buy stuff with that other currency from other countries, it is therefore an enabler of international trade. You seem to be seeing reserve currency as some sort of external piggy bank/store of wealth for central banks, which it is not. The only way what you are proposing makes any sense is when every country starts accepting bitcoin as the defacto currency for payment in international trade, which would never happen.

If for example Japan wants to buy stuff from America, they'll need dollars, so they buy dollars with yen on currency as markets, why would anybody first want to buy a volatile crypto to, after which they still would need to buy dollars to actually purchase the American goods? Or should we replace all national currencies with bitcoin or something? What are you proposing? This has been the recurring problem with cryptofanatics, you understand nothing of basic aconomics and just spout this kind of nonsense which after a first uninformed look seems vaguely credible and you start convincing yourself that crypto's have any real use

The number of spaces in tabs is not a debate, that's just personal preference in your editor. The debate is if tabs should be used at all.

That tabs are not a multiple of the character width in a fixed width font is insane of course. But if any character should have that property as a feature, it would be the tab.

It makes more sense to see it like game development, which I think it's blow's pov. He's not an open source developer, he's a game developer. And he's making a product he wants to be complete and correct before release.

I think there's quite a lot of good-will towards Blow, and I imagine he has some clout in the game dev. community. My sense is that when he releases his game written in this, and gives it its final syntax-and-semantics pass -- he will get buy-in from some places (esp. indies).

> "the Start menu is Microsoft's flagship user experience. It should represent the very best UI design the company is capable of."

That is a joke, right? I have for years and years had problems to get the start menu search to work properly. It doesn't know about new programs until the following day, it doesn't remember frequently used programs, it can't find basic settings which it used to find fine, and worst of all is that it is _incredibly_ precise with it's recommedation. Typing "tea<RET>" gets you teams, "team<RET>" gets you steam. The next day (or hour, or 15 min) it is the other way around. It doesn't auto clear expired shortcuts, instead opting to ask about it when searching. Windows store apps sometimes don't appear, and if they do, the right click menu doesn't let you see it's path ( sometimes, I believe I had that working once?)

"Flagship user experience". And now the problem is that he can't find chrome in it? Seriously, that is a suprise? Never mind the fact that indexing takes an extremely long time perhaps he has chrome installed and forgot about it- windows has, too.

Contrast this with the apple experience with spotlight, and its night and day. Ateast with powertoys you get a spotlight esque replacement, but that's the irony of it: to get basic shit to work in windows, you have to install third party programs anyway and sometimes even work with regedit.
Those are valid points but that's a different meaning of value as used in the article.
