So, normally, you do not need to lock. If all your services are single threaded, and you have a good transactional model, you only need to duplicate services to create parallel routes.

You need to lock when you write a shared area from multiple sources with no opinion on write ordering.

But say your pipeline is client-> decorator -> processor -> observer with client publication -> external partner, each input will go into a set of instances different from the previous and next one, and rejoin at the output who will queue and order them. You have parallel heavy work and sequential light result publication. Your simple output must be as fast as the sum of your parallel routes to minimize queueing.

Ofc it s more complex, and I prefer 0 network hop myself, but I work on a large investment bank micro service system and we do not lock, and the component are both simple and complex enough that when one disappear, everything else waits or rebalances, and when it reappears it can catch up automatically, and go on. It consumes large amount of memory to keep a duplicated state in each component and persistence is not guaranteed to be on time (in fact, our persistence layer was 30 minutes behind by mid day, for years, until we dug into the 30yo sql)

These technical improvements are a bit as if a salesman reduced the price of a product, on top of free delivery. That's nice, sure, but that doesn't mean you need the product any more than before.

There is a similar thing happening with houses. I have watched This Old House for years and they will often mention that when the house was built 100 years ago the exterior was painted with bright colors. My grandmother's house was stucco with molds used to make it look like it was stone blocks and each block was painted a different color.
Now it seems most houses are painted boring "neutral" colors (there are exceptions, of course).
1. The relatively closed ecosystem and relatively short lifespan of content on there. Ever had anyone link to anything on Snapchat to you? A wave of outrage cannot build without whatever is outrageous moving beyond the initial group.

2. It is pornography, not hate or violence. None of the big moderation waves have been about porn (other than child porn). Marketing routinely uses content that is just short of pornography. On a societal level, especially in an internet age, there are next to no restrictions on its access. A quick Google search told me that the average age a kid first watches porn is 10-13. It is fairly abundant on Facebook and Twitter as far as I can tell. Society in general shows porn to minors with no repercussions.

Sleight of hand and lies as usual.

Breeder reactors do not actually exist and never have. Hitting some fertile material with fast or heavy water moderated neutrons is the easy part. Reprocessing reactor grade plutonium is the hard part and every program that has attempted it on a commercial scale has failed spectacularly. The french reprocessing facilities for ex weapons MOX are filthy, release more radiation than TMI and Fukushima combined in normal operation, and are horrifically expensive, and the others are all kept secret.

The BN800 is closest as it's running ~100% MOX right now (with no indication as to the source or whether it is using the breeding blanket), but noone even has any plans to attempt to reprocess spent plutonium based fuels, so at best it just doubles the amount of energy, doubles the amount of short lived extremely high level waste, and leaves you with a slightly higher level of long lived transuranics.

The danger of the long lived waste isn't handling it, it's having it enter the ground water and ecosystem where it will build up in the food chain forever.

Not too far off base from my understanding. But the first few layers are like firmware they provide the neural interface between hardware (reflexes, processing sensations, etc) and the rest of thinking. So it’s a system that it’s very deeply tied to how we perceive and interact with our bodies and through them the world.

And in fact the first level or two of the hierarchy happen outside the brain in the nervous system or spine (unless hearing or sight related obvs)

There’s one piece missing though and that’s goals/control variable. My thoughts about this is how we encode things and act of things. When we recognize a tree there’s a set of nodes that activate then some higher layer recognizes trust as a tree and a higher layer still decides how to use that information or how to interact with those nodes (it sets a desired state. Ie. Walk to the tree, write the word, recognize the picture, etc).

Take a look into Hierarchical Perceptual Control Theory.

No. Ford Tempo was a best selling car between 1984 - 1994:

“The Tempo was a sales success for Ford, staying one of the top ten best selling cars in the US, if not one of the top five, during its entire production run.”

Wikipedia also has production counts, and it’s more than 2.8 million.

Salmoning is going the wrong way. It’s ridiculous in NYC, especially on streets, a street going the other way is almost always one short block away.

Shoaling is cutting in line at lights. Inexperienced cyclists/e-whatever riders are notorious for this. It’s not dangerous but is very poor etiquette if you are not going to absolutely blow away the people you cut when the light goes green.

So, if you cut someone on a Citibike (local terrible heavy bike share bike) on your Specialized Tarmac SL7 in full kit, then, like, whatever. Not that bad. The Citibiker probably doesn’t even realize it’s rude.

But if you cut in front of kitted up people on road bikes on a Citibike, you better have some monster legs.

Anyways I notice this a lot with e-bikes recently. But the thing is that I am actually faster than them, despite riding a “regular” bike. So it’s very annoying.

And half the time they’re wearing AirPods and are just completely oblivious as they do this. Honestly the median Citibiker is not much better, but at least they only go like 8mph.

That animals convert grass and plants in general to meat is undeniable. But I think the issue is, livestock is generally fed with human grown plants, which could be fed directly to humans and save a lot of energy (food and water) wasted in the process, because the amount of calories, for example, that you take off meat is nowhere near the calories contained in the food the animal consumed during its lifetime. Now, regarding if nutrients are missing from a plants only diet, that's another matter.

> Money: the first and still most important app

Money is also the thing that will continue to be problematic for Ethereum going forward. Two technical problems drive this:

1. Scalability issues related to a very large block chain size and the associated difficulty in bringing up and running a full node.

2. The transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake is driving the convergence of validators and exchanges.

(1) drives individuals increasingly into the arms of gatekeepers to tell them what's "on the block chain" rather than directly participating on the network. (2) degrades what little censorship resistance Ethereum may have once had.
Agreed, OP's post was reductive and sensationalist, to the point that it contributes to the problems it critiques. Our nature as people hasn't changed much, the internet just prevents much of the curation of voices that occurred before it existed.

It's not reasonably possible to rid ourselves of the internet, and in fact I think it's a net Good. The issue going forward is to consider and teach responsible internet use for not just young people, but everyone. Most of the shitty, intentionally hurtful things I see on the internet don't come from young folks, but from adults trying to inflict harm. People like that have always existed, and are the real problem in these cases.
I prefer intrinsics over assembly.

There're too many different assemblies: inline, MASM, NASM, FASM, YASM. They come with their unique quirks, and they complicate build.

Intrinsics are more portable. It's trivial to re-compile legacy SSE intrinsics into AVX1. You won't automatically get 32-byte vectors this way, but you will get VEX encoding, broadcasts for _mm_set1_something, and more.

Readability depends on the code style. When you write intrinsics using "assembly with types" style, actual assembly is indeed more readable. OTOH, with C++ it's possible to make intrinsics way better than assembly: arithmetic operators instead of vaddpd/vsubpd/vmulpd/vdivpd, strongly-typed classes wrapping low-level vectors for specific use cases, etc.

Update: most real-life functions contain scalar code (like loops), also auto-generated code (stack frame setup, back up / restore of non-volatile registers). When coding non-inline assembly, developer needs to do that manually in assembly, this can be hard to do, and may cause bugs like these https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/12328 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33705209

It isn't working. You're quoting someone who is part of a network of Tesla/Musk propaganda agents. Stroppa and Bleu are liars with agendas, one pretending to be a self funded researcher and the other a human trafficking advocate, and both are fielded by Musk's PR news site Teslarati to control a narrative.

"As shown by the infographic summarizing the results of our analysis, Elon Musk is one of the subjects with whom Stroppa interacts most on Twitter, retweeting, replying and quoting several times what, according to the annual Forbes ranking, is the man. richest in the world." | https://www.breakinglatest.news/health/andrea-stroppa-the-go...

Stroppa lied via Reuters months ago when he claimed he and 5 researchers spent two weeks and found only 500 CSAM accounts (those of us adjacent to CSAM research could find 50k in an accidental sneeze). He's being dishonest again in this story by intentionally citing action taken Twitter 2.0 when that action happened (and concluded) two days prior to Musk's takeover. His "reports" have been taken apart by actual CSAM investigators like Carolina Christfoletti (who actually flags his statements as "misinformation) and researchers across several universities.

Eliza Bleu is QANon disinfo agent, daughter of a MAGA Republican, and fundraising partner of Felecia Killings, a literal child rapist. She works with Mike Cernovich, one of the guys behind the Pizzagate conspiracy and the person responsible for getting James Gun fired. The time period she claimed she was trafficked, she was the well known girlfriend of Gerard Way and an American Idol contestant.

Their ruses work on everyone not in Infosec or OSINT who are familiar with their backgrounds because they say the right sounding words. So you buy it, the same way boomers watch CSI and think hacking the internet can be stopped by two people mashing keys or unplugging the power cord of a monitor. People read their bullshit and think they're actually involved in child exploitation research because they "sound" right.

Stop being manipulated so easily.

What is wet putty
Good luck teaching a small kid the concept of self-improvement as an investment into the future. You have to reward kids to create habits. They don't have the experience or the knowledge to think far ahead. The best way to reinforce a behavior is immediate reward, not a promise of "better future". The reward can be something as simple as "a sense of accomplishment" or as big as a phone as long as the perceived value of the reward is proportional to the achievement and effort.

When I was a Windows SysAdmin, everything was Exchange/Outlook, the worlds most magical database (disguised as an email system). Syncing things worked, you could send/update stuff online and it just worked. Thus, everything was available offline in your .OST files on the client, even if the server vaporized.

Oh my god, looking at one of your reports [1] I just realised what could have happened

Please tell me you didn't get a valuation for the whole plot HP123436 instead of the sliver that is actually in that title and is described on the page! Because while the text on the page says HP123436 and the reports were ordered for it, you are not selling the whole patch, you're selling a tiny piece of it, otherwise you'd include a bunch of other properties like [2] that are indeed worth way more

Edit: or maybe that's by design, the "complex deal" you are talking about actually does include those other properties, and the matterium page is designed to make a sale of a much larger property look like a sale of a £7k property to avoid SDLT and a bunch of other complications, while going through a shell company that clearly doesn't have nearly enough money for the whole thing. Surely you aren't doing that?
