Fox News is the clearest example of mainstream propaganda that I've ever seen. I take a pass through there periodically just to see what the aren't covering. Which isn't to say places like CNN don't sometimes pull that same stunt, but it's much more prevalent on Fox News -- they'll completely omit even really big stories that aren't what they think their audience wants to see.
A connected rabbit hole is image decoding of lossy format such as jpeg: from my experience depending on the library used (opencv vs tensorflow vs pillow) you get rgb values that varies between 1-2% of each others with default decoders.

You sure could set a mailbox size limit in Exchange environments, though even at small companies Ive set limits of 50gb/mailbox - thousands and thousands of messages.
For me personally, the main argument against Telegram is that its development and operations team is physically located in Russia. This means that they can very easily be bribed and/or intimidated into any type of collaboration with their state.

When were we not in an unhinged race? GHz sells chips, gotta get as many as possible; it's just AMD and Intel have gotten really good at pumping the watts through the chips lately.

But you can buy CPUs with lower power limits, sometimes these are released later in the cycle though, or set the limits yourself. Or probably just leave it at defaults and not usually get up to the crazy high numbers anyway; most desktop use cases aren't going to scale usage so high, although there's plenty of examples that do.
> "more preemptive" ok but how does this bound latencies and timing jitter from event to handling?

Linux RT is basically just the preempt_rt patches.

In the normal linux kernel side, many (all?) kthreads can't be interrupted. This prevents the kernel from handling the interrupts from io in a bound time since it has to wait for a kthread to yield. The preempt_rt patches enable preempting kthreads.

> E.g. I need to run a task at exactly every 100us, or within 10us of a gpio event, or ...

Allowing preempting kthreads enables the kernel scheduler to run more deterministically and not be blocked by kthreads doing things. This allows the kernel to ensure a gpio task gets serviced by a given deadline.

There's still spinlocks and critical sections which can block preemption, but they're minimized.

Linux rt provides a "execute my thread by a deadline option".

> It's less likely, but zero guarantees and no possibility of doing any sort of worst case determination. That's not "Real Time" that's just better scheduling.

Hate to tell you, but thats every RTOS. The only one I know of that has a provable bounded scheduler is SeL4. IMHO, thats cool.

But FreeRTOS, Zephyr? Nope same thing the Linux preempt_rt patches do. Now its smaller and easier to ensure the system isn't overloaded, less kthreads to review for critical sections, etc.
Have you considered that fun is not always without side effects? The same machine that came up with physics, calculus and evolution came up with God and the MCU. God and the MCU are fun ideas too but just look at how much damage they've done to the world.
Contemporary CSS engines use bucketing, so a rule like div[name="some"] will only ever be considered for something that has (depending on your browser implementation) either a “name” attribute or is a <div>. In other words, “Absolutely all N DOM elements need to be checked” is completely wrong. It's worst-case O(n), sure, but on a practical page nowhere near average-case O(n).

As for @media queries, I can't say anything about Gecko or WebKit, but at least in Blink they're handled entirely different. And @scope (which is the closest I know of to your hypothetical @set) is significantly less efficient than bucketing is, or even a simple parent selector, since it needs to walk up the DOM after the rule matched.
I can only assume you've never travelled in one of these cars, or seen one on the road?

They are great - driving towards them you still see the headlights as a block of light either side of the car - you just aren't blinded by it.

As a driver of the volvo - you just drive and never need to think about your lights - you can see as well as in any car, and better infact as the sides are of the road are still well illuminated.
I drive a 1988 Suburban. It has 4 headlights, two on each side, one above the other. The lamps are identical. The top lights are for low and high beams, and the lower are for high beams only. My headlights were all over the place, and people were flashing their lights at me ("Hey buddy, turn off your brights, jerk!") with my LOW beams on, despite that I could barely even see the road!

To help solve this, I recently installed a relay kit to run them direct from the battery (for better brightness, bypassing 35 year old wiring) and it turns them ALL on all the time, which was unintended, and I'm too lazy to go fix it. So instead I just pointed them all down more, and now I can actually see the road. And, I'm not blinding anybody.

The point? Aiming is everything. If your car's head lamps are out of alignment, not only will they be far less effective, they'll blind other drivers. Youtube it. Easy fix.
The idea that "3" is not the same as a group of three things seems fairly straightforward, in the same way that a seeing a red ball and a red shirt next to each other and describing them as "red" is not the same as the concept of "red". The "weirdness" of numbers is that seeing 3 balls in one place and 2 balls somewhere else lets you say "3 + 2 is 5, so there are 5 balls"; we don't have a system of "composing" most descriptions of a shared category in a universal way. While we might be able to come up with a way of composing some of them, like "horizontal striped shirt plus vertical striped shirt equals plaid shirt", we don't (at least right now) have a system that makes it simple for two people to independently come up with consistent answers (does red shirt plus white shirt equal red and white striped shirt, or pink shirt, or something else entirely?)
I'm sure that the stand-alone application will be killed, but I highly doubt that the actual rendering and js engines will be excised from the OS entirely.

For example, there are a lot of legacy applications out there whose help documentation is in CHTML files [0][1] (*.chm). The CHTML viewer uses IE (unsure of the exact version.... maybe 6?). I can't imagine this going completely away any time soon, so I suspect that the dlls will still reside somewhere in the OS for a long long time to come.

Off hand, the Help for WinMerge is leveraging this framework [2].

Edit: I also think that the rendering engine of Outlook uses some legacy version of the IE html/js engines. Again, it might be 6... (maybe not)

People already do optimizations like this all the time, when they're working on low-level code that can benefit from it. Sorting is actually a good example, all of the major sort implementations typically use quicksort when the array size is large enough and then at some level of the recursion the arrays get small enough that insertion sort (or even sorting network) is faster. So sorting a large array will use at least two different sorting methods depending on what level of recursion is happening.

You can get information about the cache line sizes and cache hierarchy at runtime from sysfs/sysconf, but I don't think many people actually do this. Instead they just size things so that on the common architectures they expect to run on things will be sized appropriately, since these cache sizes don't change frequently. If you really want to optimize things, when you compile with -march=native (or some specific target architecture) GCC/Clang will implicitly add a bunch of command line flags to the compiler invocation that set up different preprocessor defines that expose information about the cache sizes/hierarchy for the target architecture.

Some of the more ambitious grifters have gone beyond Twitter and expanded their paranoid fantasies into book form. Whether they believe their own nonsense is irrelevant. The schizophrenic homeless guy who yells at the river near my house may be sincere in his beliefs but I don't take him seriously either.

Exactly. There was a time I preferred Airbnb but now I choose hotels unless I am looking for some kind of experience

Besides price, service is also worse during stay. At a hotel I can get towels, soap, whenever I want. Airbnb it’s maybe once a day the host can bring things to you.
You need to actively install software to report statistics on macports. See further down the linked FAQ.
Hilariously enough it can even vary within states. EG: AFAIK, only two counties in Washington state require emissions testing on a semi-regular basis, and nowhere requires safety inspections.

I got burned by this by moving to one of the two counties with an otherwise innocuous check engine light that would have failed the emissions test so I had to get it fixed.
IMHO the core issue is a lack of resources - they can't afford an outsourced vendor that will do stuff properly just as much as they can't afford to do the same thing in-house. There's barely a budget to get hardware, and definitely not to deploy it properly; there's barely a budget to replace what dies of old age, and definitely not to do proper maintenance and updates.

One option is to work in larger companies where the tech itself is not the business, but is just a tool used to drive the business. Then no matter where the "tech industry" goes, you still have your job keeping that business running. In downturns, contractors and consultants go out the door, and you are told to "Just keep the lights on." And you keep your job.

You also learn an industry other than "tech". You gain the T-shaped skill set that makes careers grow - deep in tech, broad in business, and able to jump from ship to ship to seek those raises and promotions.

Now I fully admit, this path is not exciting. It does not maximize income. It does not have opportunity for stock options or "exits". But it absolutely can bring sustainability and stability to your career if those are your goals.

I think there's a fundamental difference and 2 different subject here.

On a universe level, it's impossible to tell if the entire thing is just a simulation.

However, I don't think our conscious experience is any different from a physics event happening elsewhere in our universe. If the universe is indeed simulated, we just happen to evolve naturally in that simulation, and there is no special need to simulate our consciousness specifically - that's a little narcissistic to think about.
Yes, exactly that. Thanks.

since forever we have had cars that did not need to beep when in reverse gear. Now, some mental damaged people think it is acceptable to live in an experimental industrial electronic concert. And there is now a market for "ringtones for cars". So the issue is, regulators must be sound minded and present and active... And be able to respond to instances of common sense...
Note: I'm not trying to engage in political axe-grinding here. I found the below example after about ~30 seconds of looking.

These organizations are fact-forward, but far from unbiased. It's impossible to read an article like this one[0], for example, without a clear understanding of which side of the argument the author is rooting for.

That article is pretty deceptive, actually. Like, how could they bring themselves to include this line:

> "The idea that we have a social contagion encouraging people to be trans in a climate that is this hostile to trans people in so unbelievably offensive," said Chase Strangio, an ACLU lawyer who has litigated against the Arkansas and Alabama laws.

...without mentioning that the number of trans kids has, in fact, been rising rapidly?![1]

Not only that, software is a unique sector in which a lot of the capital is in the talent.

These companies aren't laying off labor that have few choices. They're budding off knowlegible competetors.

This is why in some states, you are required to get an inspection of the vehicle and one of those items on that checklist is to ensure the headlights are aimed correctly. It's a massive problem.
Moxie Marlinspike - and Whisper Systems - have assumed a variety of concerning positions over the years. Concerning, because their flaws are obvious, yet Moxie - a very smart guy - pretends not to notice them.

For example, Moxie defended discontinuing encrypted SMS on the grounds that it leaked metadata to telcos - yet failed to emphasize that this was merely the same metadata leaked to Whisper Systems, or justify why we should trust Whisper Systems more. "Just trust us" policies are worrying.

Moxie's defense of failing to provide any alternative to downloading Signal/TextSecure from Google Play also contained a number of very eye raising frank admissions, including that Whisper Systems was motivated by the ability to silently push updates and monitor its users (there's that "just trust us" again). Followed by the very weird assertion that "Avoiding Play alone is not a privacy win", which is a bit like saying there's no point wearing a seatbelt because you might get injured in other ways.

Whisper Systems is notoriously hostile to any use of Signal that doesn't involve their official client, going through servers they administrate (servers which run code they release infrequently if at all). Signal has made no attempt to bootstrap a federated system, even though this would save them money. They are extremely keen to maintain ironclad control over both the app and the server, and are willing to take unusual security postures in service of this.

I've read enough stuff from Moxie that makes me say "what, that doesn't make sense" to make me very suspicious.

Yes. More evidence for an observation I've been having that ultimately the software is always about what the creator of the software wants, and not the user. I'm working on moving to running only my own software for that reason.

Some how I agree with the author.

In the last decade I’ve known and worked with dozens of one-man tech startup founders, they basically fall into two categories, the ‘product’ group and the ‘engineer’ group.

The ‘product’ guys tend to use boring technology like PHP or Python to duct tape their product and ship it ASAP and pivot very quickly if things didn’t work out, they NEVER write a single test.

The ‘engineer’ guys tend to use bleeding edge technology like meteor/nextjs/svelt/cypress/terraform/k8s/nomad/netlify/cloudfunction/(insert a hundred tech here)/… and polish their product alot before launching, including writing a lot tests.

To be honest, the ‘product’ group are way more successful financially than the ‘engineer’ group in my small sample dataset.

I’m in the ‘engineer’ group myself, and I tend to polish a lot, lately I’ve been thinking about the two different mindsets, and I get to the same conclusion with the OP’s article, that code quality and maintenancibility are great ideas, but unfortunately *for a startup* they are not directly related with making money, at least not linearly directly related.

Startup is about exploring undiscovered market opportunities, and it’s full of uncertainties and assumptions, your job is to find out whether the assumptions are true or false, not to write the most stable and easy-to-refactor code.

Guess what? Tests are about certainty, about known rules. In week 1 you write lots of tests to cover your 80% business logic, and in week 2 you find out your original idea does not work and need to change course, and all the written tests are garbage now, then week 3 same thing happen again…and all your precious time are wasted chasing the wrong target.

One thing I disagree though is that you don’t need to be literally rich to begin writing tests, as soon as your business logic and model is proven, like making positive cash flow or user growth is promising, then it’s the right time to write some tests, to improve the code quality and your confidence of future refactoring.
Just use a open protocol that doesn't lock you into a specific server or client, like XMPP with OMEMO.
Okay, hear me out. Therenos, but for pee.

*Urinos*

A device that you pee into every once in a while, and it updates your profile giving you health information based on the tests it ran. It would have plugable modules for each test you want to run, maybe 10 or so slots, and you would pay for subscriptions where a new module would come in the mail every time it needs to be swapped out.
I wonder how much of the advertising market is what drove the strong, pre-WWII, anti-communist push. Prior to the holodomor even authoritarian statist communism hadn't been responsible for anything on the order of what capitalism had done.

Some support: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Red_Scare#Seattle_Genera... "Even before the strike began, the press begged the unions to reconsider. In part they were frightened by some of labor's rhetoric, like the labor newspaper editorial that proclaimed: "We are undertaking the most tremendous move ever made by labor in this country ... We are starting on a road that leads – NO ONE KNOWS WHERE!"[6] Daily newspapers saw the general strike as a foreign import: "This is America – not Russia," one said when denouncing the general strike.[7] The non-striking part of Seattle's population imagined the worst and stocked up on food. Hardware stores sold their stock of guns.[8] "
If it is on-prem, not really. You'd have to intentionally or unintentionally set a restrictive quota on it and I have no idea why you'd do that for a press inbox. There is a user in my org who has a 120GB mailbox because they never delete anything ever. It is annoying to us, but it works just fine.

I constantly see bad feedback on Airbnb and Twitter, and when I ask where these things happened, it's usually USA. I lived in Airbnbs almost exclusively the whole 2022, and travelled through various european countries, moved 32 times total. I've never had any of these problems, any cleaning fees or other stuff like that. I've rented full apartments for $70 per night, where I could cook, do laundry and in general feel much more comfortable than in a hotel for a stay longer than a week.

May be Airbnb is only bad in states?
