I would struggle to believe that Apple had an easier time getting someone else to support Linux on their hardware, than just... supporting their own hardware with their own OS with their own drivers that they already have using internal developers who already know how to write Darwin code for Apple hardware.
Relatedly, it’s worth noting that there are really good bindings between Lua and Haskell [https://hslua.org/], used in e.g. Pandoc for plugins.

> Seriously, factories have been working for centuries and nothing has gone wrong, so why should we regulate where they can pour their waste or make them pay for environmental nonsense like carbon capture?

Pardon? Factories have caused all sorts of problems with discharge, intentional or unintentional. Here's some from the top of my head:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster (mismanagement at a pesticide factory causes an explosion, poisoning many people and permanently contaminating the surrounding landscape).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamata_disease (a factory discharged mercury into the sea for years, where it interacted with anaerobic bacteria in the sediment to become incredibly deadly organic mercury and poisoned an entire town)

Keep in mind, these are from the top of my head and I am a nonexpert; we have environmental regulations because people have been hurt or killed by pollution numerous times.

Here's a quote that I hope will emphasize just how powerful pollution can be on an industrial scale:

> Pollution was so heavy at the mouth of the wastewater canal, a figure of 2 kg of mercury per ton of sediment was measured: a level that would be economically viable to mine. Indeed, Chisso did later set up a subsidiary to reclaim and sell the mercury recovered from the sludge.

They literally dumped enough mercury into the river to turn it into a mercury mine. If that doesn't convince you that factories haven't simply been operating with "nothing going wrong", then I don't know what to say.

Making Journals Free
I do not know if I can explain it, but the point is the article is mocking an imaginary version of capitalism at the same time the publication is flashing me a Sale pop-up which is real capitalism. The America media pretends at the intellectual level it is leftist but at the bean-counter level it is more hard-core than a street drug dealer. That irony of this situation prompted my response. But I would ask, not to read too much in either comments they were both made in lighter mood and were neither preceded by and not likely to be succeeded by 'deep thought'.
UUID is fundamentally just a binary --> text encoding for 128-bit numbers.

There's nothing whatsoever wrong with using a cryptographically secure mechanism to generate a random 128-bit number and then representing that as a UIID in plaintext.

The issue would be using a UUID generator (there are many versions, and several of those use MAC addresses and time for a bunch of the "entropy" - so they are not cryptographically secure / random).

Your comment is overly reductive.

A natural way to reduce paranoia is to increase GABA and GABA building blocks in your diet. Almonds are a great example, and I take lots of supplements to also help w/ Gaba quantity (my Gaba receptors aren't peak functional). I've had times I've tapped out my Gaba reserves (internally) and paranoia would flourish.

It might allow you to try Ritalin again (albeit in smaller doses).

Chatrooms for each team, but visible to other teams. And a culture of encouraging technical discussion to be summarized or at least alluded to in the public chat. I'm sure this doesn't scale, but for a company of <20 developers, this worked amazingly.

I’m always been very skeptical of software architects. Ideally, any software engineer with more than 10 years of experience should know enough and have the enough experience to be a decent architect. A team of 2 or 3 of these seniors won’t need the help of a dedicated architect.

I think the key difference to me (as someone who enjoys both) is that Rimworld is more interesting from a moment to moment standpoint, the sheer depth of simulation in Dwarf Fortress produces far more memorable events.

Put another way, I don't remember any specific events in Rimworld, but I'm more than happy to tell you about the dwarf who pathologically elected to engrave the walls of the fortress exclusively with depictions of a particularly delicious piece of cheese he ate.

My problem with Dwarf Fortress is the endless hordes of migrants.

It would be ok, but I don't like to assign them to jobs. Even with Dwarf Therapist.

Rimworld colonies (even large ones) tend to have less migrants than even a single DF migration wave, so it's manageable.
They would remove it because it's incredibly likely to be stolen or a grey import, both of which cause big issues to Apple, Amazon and the consumer.
There might be a few more. Invasive Anti cheat software seems necessary for competitive multiplayer games on PC.

> A rebase and a merge result in the same code.

If done correctly, that's true, but it's beside the point. The reason to prefer one over the other is the failure mode.

> A rebase is more error prone though.

On what metric? In my experience, a merge is far, far more likely to silently introduce a production bug. I've never seen a rebase fail that way.
This is so good - unlike seemingly everything else I read in "The New Yorker" which is usually so much verbose low-signal drivel.

I want to learn about the new cancer breakthrough, not read 5 paragraphs about what the scientist's office looked like in self-satisfied "prose" only to set the stage for a meandering intro and finally finishing with a few sentences of actual information - often misrepresented by the author's lack of understanding for the science involved.
It's crazy how much nonsense stems from people reading a tweet and turning it into an article as if that gave it legitimacy. Random speculation is being presented as news and getting a lot of traction on social media.

There's one site in particular that just turns Elon's tweets into articles, tags him and then he likes or retweets them. A total circle jerk free of facts.
It can also refer to retail stolen and grey imports, which are a huge issue for everyone in the chain.
"Death to Capitalism" shirts on sale now for $29.99!
Programming defensively in this way is possible but has a huge cost (extra saves and restores). The caller is supposed to be able to trust that certain registers persist across the call. If it can't, it has to save everything to memory before the call and restore it. I suppose a compiler could add a special annotation for "this is an assembler routine and I don't trust that they know the rules", which would generate extra saves and restores, but presumably the routine was coded in assembly for extra speed, so 6 to 8 extra saves and restores would cancel that out.

If someone is trying to use the same assembler routine on Windows as on Linux, it's likely to be wrong for one of them.
No worries!

> have you considered graphing trains too?

I'm very keen to! It's actually an identical data format, I just need to change the endpoint from /buses to /trains essentially. Though I would also need to store 2 times the number of protocol buffers (which come in every 7 seconds) and do some UI work.

So many things to do, so little time :D
You're part of a small population, and so you might not even trust the tool.

It's not clear to me how to write such a tool as assembly code is the opposite of structured.
I definitely don't find myself complaining about them as I much as did 10 years ago. Back then, one of my local bus stops in Newtown had "what is the point of this?" written in marker over the timetable, and everyone who saw it smiled in agreement.

However, this could be explained by today's GPS tracking data, rather than improvements in reliability. When you open your transit app, you want to know when the next bus is, so you can find an alternative if the wait is too long. When it tells you the next one is in 3 minutes (which is an accurate estimate because of the GPS), you don't actually care if that bus is running 18 minutes later than originally scheduled.

For the bus I use for my commute, I don't leave either the house or the office until I see its GPS tracker pass certain points of the route. I've never had to wait for more than 3 minutes at a bus stop doing that. On occasions where there is no GPS feed, I treat that bus as "theoretical", and don't risk going out to try to catch it at its scheduled time, unless I'm desperate. But every time I did risk it, it ended up arriving right on schedule.

So I'd say the experience of catching buses has profoundly improved, but not necessarily because the reliability has improved.

And 10 years ago, we didn't have Opal readers, which are great, since together with having digital driving licenses on our phones, it has allowed many of us to completely forgo carrying a wallet.

Bus drivers are still as reckless and grumpy as they used to be though.

The lavatory thing is easy to workaround, at least. One entrance, and as many sinks as you have toilets. You can have a large bathroom, rooms with a bathroom attached, etc. As long as there's one way out and the sinks are there.

Much more annoying are the suits (and now, gas masks). If you are not careful with settings they will drop them elsewhere, or will enter the perfectly breathable base with suits still on.

To execute the last matching command, I use that all the time but zsh requires an extra enter to get it to actually run. I use it when it is a default, sometimes I use bash when it annoys too much and I would not pick it on purpose. I just don't get what is so much better about it.

Ask HN: How long till outages if Big Tech employees suddenly got Thanos-snapped?
Given the recent mass layoffs and resignations at Twitter, it raises an interesting question: At what point will critical systems start failing and Twitter’s Fail Whale will return?[1] When will there be an outage?

While the layoffs at Facebook, Google, Amazon, Stripe, etc are all certainly being managed far better than Twitter’s situation, it is an interesting question to understand the relationship between tech workers and the production infrastructure of modern tech companies.

One would hope that most companies have used systems equivalent to chaos monkey + modern devops engineering to build automated resiliency into their systems without requiring much human intervention. But.....

So how long do you think it would be until X systems/products at any given Big Tech company would degrade in service or experience an outage if they lost all their workers?

Except for the garbage-collection, single threaded code is extremely common across all "simulation" games. Too many interdependencies makes it difficult to parallelize.

Dwarf Fortress was looking into offload fluid computation to other cores, not sure if it was done.
And if they tax it, people will complain about cost-shifting, saying the consumer should pay, and accuse the taxes for driving inflation etc. I am in favor of making polluters account for negative externalities, it's been a long-theme of my comments here), but I've noticed that people are adept at inventing new bases of objection.

Perhaps you could suggest a place where the pollution taxation approach has worked and the enforcement has teeth, which you would be happy to see implemented here even though it might come with short-term costs.
The other side of that is the back end of what Rust folks are doing. There is a vocal segment that are doing a lot of surface level things. But there are also people quietly building the language and toolchain up to be something that you can do true low level embedded work with while maintaining (most of) the guarantees of Rust. That is what I was alluding to. I don't think "rewrite it in Rust" is always smart or even productive.

edit: It is also worth exploring why and how a systems programming language has generated this much excitement in folks that are "rewriting it in Rust". These people are also in their way making it that much easier for everyone else to transition to Rust, proving these projects work just fine in Rust. I do agree it is a meme, but it is a good one for us all. As an infosec practitioner nothing could make me happier than seeing people excited about a language that eradicates one of the worst and most pernicious classes of C/C++ bugs.

> The America media pretends at the intellectual level it is leftist but at the bean-counter level it is more hard-core than a street drug dealer.

That's a false dichotomy (and the street drug dealer comparison is hyperbole).

Advocating for leftist ideas like a floor on the standard of living and ensuring equal opportunity doesn't contradict pursuing a smart, aggressive, and legal business strategy, except in the mind of a libertarian absolutist.
> more credible

Did I misrepresent any facts or figures? Did I lie? What does credibility have anything to do with anything otherwise? It's an objectively bad deal from a financial perspective, if you have any arguments against that you're free to share them.

Twitter might do "fine" as a platform. Sure, why not... Does not change the fact that he grossly overpaid and that the 13 billion in additional debt will be financially crippling for the company. He might sell some more Tesla stock to offset that. I mean it's his money, he can do whatever he wants (unless the SEC stops being a complete joke).

> that obviously he was right etc. - doesn't sound unreal or alien to me, quite opposite actually.

Right about what? Even Zuckerberg seems to have a clearer vision about the Metaverse than Musk seems to have about the future of Twitter. I might be wrong. Care to enlighten me instead of talking about some random tangentially related things?

> There are still thousands of people employed there, which feels like too many if anything.

Sure, can't really disagree. However is it better for a business to have an additional 2000 employees or so who are possibly superfluous or to fire all of them and spend ~600 million or thereabouts servicing a debt incurred for no reason? It's a pretty straightforward you chose to ignore for some reason.
> A ticket represents a process

Yep, and that process also involves other people, to review/ approve the fix to the typo.

It then goes from being a few seconds of elapsed time and actual time (to just commit a fix to the typo) to taking hours, days or weeks of elapsed time and hours of actual time and forcing context switching on, and interrupting the workflow of, all of people involved.

I 100% agree with you. I don't even know how seriously Musk can try to avoid bankruptcy.

The leaked company communications are damning. Here's your brand new owner, richest guy in the world, implying the company might not survive another year or two, for a company that's been public, mature, and stable for years. It's completely insane.

Like I alluded to my comment, Discord's revenue story is essentially a best-case scenario type of benchmark. It's very unlikely that Twitter or anyone else in the social media space can replicate Discord's paid user share. Discord has been designing their product around a specific niche and optimizing for non-advertising revenue since inception. Twitter is designed for advertisers. It was never intended to be a paid product. They'll be lucky if 1% of their users bite.
Left 4 Dead used a similar system and it was branded as a "AI storyteller"

It would basically look at what your team was doing. If a member decided to just go solo and do their own thing the AI would throw some mob that required a teammate to get rid of. If the team started having too many difficulties it would tone down the number of zombies and their placement. Etc

Think of "AI" as "game AI", not "machine learning". We have called NPC behavior "AI" in games even when they were simple decision trees.
