CAN is primarily useful if you have a broadcast node that only has a small amount of data to send at periodic intervals.

The problem is that as soon as you start adding round trips, CAN starts not looking so good. Which message are you referring to? How are you validating that you aren't getting duplicate messages? etc.

Finally, when you need more than 8 bytes, everything falls into a heap. You have to start putting in sequence numbers (which take up parts of your 8 byte packets), holding things for reassembly, etc. Once you reach that point, you might as well just use Ethernet.

The main issue back when it was developed was that CAN was way cheaper than Ethernet when CAN was released in 1986. The problem is that Moore's Law is a thing. There have been about 25 iterations of Moore's Law since then decreasing the cost differential. CAN MACs are not really more expensive than Ethernet MACs, and Ethernet MACs get WAY more testing. CAN PHYs are only really cheaper than the 10Base-T1S Ethernet PHYs (which are faster) and are comparable to standard Ethernet PHYs in cost (which are WAY faster).

At this point, you're just better off using Ethernet. It's about the same price, significantly faster, and far better tested.
Not really, the connection won't close until you are done sending it all and have received the relevant TCP ACK messages from the other sides. Being on autoscaling FAAS or not does not matter for that.

In any case, if you are trying to optimize microsecond usage in AWS lambda I hope you have a truly gargantuan amount of traffic and/or have incredibly cheap engineers or the money saved will barely match up to the cost of the engineering hours sunk into them.

Knowing Amazon, the S-team absolutely used real data about productivity/cohesion/resilience for teams that spend more time in the office to make this decision, but they are absolutely not going to share it with anybody else.
Ever tried setting 'init=/bin/sh' on the command line? That gets you a shell (or any other program you care to run) and from there a little creativity is all it takes.
Well Python code will on average will be more correct than Rust code.

I'm not sure why you feel Rust code would be more correct than Python code but it certainly isn't true.
> Many addons plain don't work. The mobile browser doesn't have the UI these addons rely on and maybe there's some API coverage missing.

Even the old Fennec code base never fully supported all bits of the Webextension API, and yet there were no restrictions on add-on installation. Besides in any case it would have been up to add-on developers to decide whether they could sensibly get their add-on to work on Android (and therefore mark it as officially compatible with Android on AMO), or whether some crucial API was missing (or they simply didn't feel like re-designing the UI with small screens in mind) and therefore leave it as officially desktop-only.

Simple page scripts don't require any APIs (and especially no UI!) beyond basic Webextension support at all, and yet e.g. the video-background-play-fix add-on was only whitelisted after comparatively ages and much user complaining.

And even before Webextensions, when writing an Android add-on required quite a bit more separate code that couldn't directly be re-used from a desktop add-on (due to the UI and e.g. tab management being handled differently between Desktop Firefox and Fennec), AMO still had much more Android add-ons available than the current measly 22 add-ons that can officially be installed.

That already happens a fair amount. I've had two orgs where for stretches of time my top guys cleared more than I did, and I've known others in the same boat (they ran "rockstar" SME teams of various types). I wasn't offended by it either. I gave them air cover and they did exceptional work largely undisturbed, and periodically asked questions that made them not get too comfortable in the status quo. It was a fair trade off.

But ICs making more than managers is not what should be normalized; building teams with structures that optimize for performance rather than "management by spreadsheet" will get you further than just one dimensional rules about comp, especially in larger orgs where the comp tiers are deep.
There's no evidence to provide if that's the preferred way to work, which we know because we've had a ton of internal surveys about it. People prefer working remotely, that part, at least for AWS, is not up for debate.

Zig, unlike Go and Rust, provides an error return trace showing how the error bubbled up. This is a really interesting idea.

Yes. It is a sunk cost fallacy. That doesn't mean that they're not engaging in it. The fact that it's named shows how common of a fallacy it is.

Amazon spent $2.5 BILLION on HQ2. It's not just a some normal office complex, but rather a massive custom complex with domes full of trees and all sorts of weird stuff.

It's the same thing with Facebook's MPK 2x, Apple's Apple Park, and Google's "circus tents". These buildings aren't just for housing people, they're statements to the companies' -- and through extension their executives' -- greatness.

They're modern day temples... and they're empty.

Selling or renting out these buildings is literally unthinkable for the executives, but also impractical. It's humiliating to have have to part with your custom shrine to yourself. You can't sell item because the only companies that have the money buy it, and the people to fill it, are your competitors, and they have their own shrines to fill. You can't subdivide it and rent it out, because the buildings are giant aircraft hangers that no one wants, and they're not easily subdivided due to the location of cafeterias and bathrooms.

So what do you do?

Exercise your capricious and unaccountable power to force the serfs back into the temple. You like seeing the building filled because it makes you feel important. They'll even admit this to an extent when they talk about the joys of seeing people in the office, being able to ask people what they're doing. If we want to be charitable, we can call it the primacy of management by random encounter.

But they know, we know it's all bullshit, because everyone has witnessed the growth and effectiveness of when the company was (almost) fully remote.

Allow me to be rude: humans are social animals BUT the way we socialize have evolved all the time. In the present world just phones have deeply changed the socialization and social rules, mobile phones have deeply changed humanity again. WFH is definitively not so new, but it's application at a certain scale is.

Offices are not new, but in the modern sense are a relatively new thing in historic terms. Thinking they are here to stay forever is not different than thinking carriage and horses would be a logistic tool forever, stearic candles a way to light up homes forever etc.

WFH now have some issue, MUCH of them due to the crappy ignorance of most who do not know how an IT infra should be to WFH, so pushing people with crappy collaboration platforms, remote desktop tools etc, but such crappy model will not last more than 5-8 years. People will learn enough. Social structures for easy coordination and communication will show up the few years, as well as the "separation concept" from work cohort and neighbor/friends cohort. Not tomorrow, not so easy, but it will happen as always in history habits have changed following technology and current needs.
Indeed, driving is a social situation where other people’s bad decisions can affect me very negatively. Even if I drive carefully, it’s not enough because someone else out there is texting, confident that their sample size of one means nothing can happen. This dynamic doesn’t exist on a train.
I don't know what QuickBooks market share is, I have seen estimates between 60 and 80%. But there are definitely a lot of direct competitors as well as indirect competitors gnawing at their heels with services like invoicing and payroll and payments. I don't see any real barriers to entry created by intuit, especially since the QuickBooks export format is an open format.

But, there definitely should be a lot of scrutiny for any additional acquisitions that Intuit makes, because they are definitely big enough to just buy any company that begins to challenge them.
Meanwhile my family, including an actual teacher, that moved to florida has found their schooling to be abysmal, with the occasional private school that matches more boring states' public schools.

My state has very good education outcomes, despite being pretty damn poor, despite a population older than florida, and despite a shitload of blue collar families with very traditional opinions. It's very simple why: We require teachers to have a master's degree in teaching plus their subject, along with ~25 training days a year, strict expectations on experience and a requirement to take 15 credits worth of additional college classes on a regular basis.

The outcome, despite individual teachers making garbage money, and making even our dumbest students take the SAT, is that 9/10 of our students get a highschool diploma, and our full state's standardized test scores are higher than lots of states where things like the SAT are opt-in, meaning only college hopeful students take it. We also have very educated, intelligent, and talented teachers. My mother was a middle school french teacher, but the same qualifications that got her that job also allow her to be a french professor in pretty much any college. My chemistry teacher was a former nuclear physicist for the navy. My english teacher was recognized as on of the best in the state, despite living in a town of 9k people. Fully half of my high school class (100 kids, varying from farm kids to rich yuppie kids) were in "advanced" or honors or AP classes, including kids you would traditionally consider "class clowns" or otherwise uninterested in education.

If you were not interested in college, my high school had an entire vocational wing, where before you graduated you could get your CDL, your heavy equipment operators certification, you could learn to cook, you could learn to knit, you could become a licensed mechanic, you could learn how to manage a greenhouse or manage an entire farm, take prep classes for business school and go to national conventions, learn how to be an IT professional from never having used a computer in your life, or literally tens of other directions to become a trained professional.

I'm really curious how lobbying for something like this works in practice.

I work with (non-us) government and while I don't doubt some background level of corruption, in experience there's always been an emphasis on documented probity and making defensible decisions.

How does that $3m of lobbying actually work? Do lobbyists provide arguments to lawmakers (are there any except the tenuous one that the taxpayer money could be better used elsewhere?), or is it literally just spent on wining and dining the right people and asking them to block specific legislation?

Politicians say one thing and do the other as long as they think there will be no consequences and in the polarized world where live in that is often.
Never combine new tech with new functionality. If you want to learn new tech, use it to rewrite an old project that was due anyway. If you want to build new functionality, use tech that you know.

This has nothing to do with Rust. I've seen the exact same thing happening with golang in a C++ only environment. Long project, took forever, failed slowly, took a week to rewrite in C++.

It is my understanding that, from a gravity-only standpoint, you are right. But I actually thought that black holes slowly evaporate, i.e., lose mass, from emitting Hawking radiation. It isn't clear from the article whether the vacuum energy black holes still have that property.

The article confuses me on something else. It mentions a link between black hole mass and the expansion of the universe, but then it seems to imply that the expansion causes the black holes to gain mass which in turn causes the expansion to accelerate. It doesn't seem to address why the universe is expanding in the first place. But I guess dark energy was proposed as the thing that was doing the expansion acceleration, and not the expansion cause.

The checks you're talking about are duplicated more or less per statement in some types of code. Every single call site ends up with an `if err != nil` or moral equivalent. It can add up, also consider the extra register pressure. The return values aren't valuable anymore, they're just error signalling.

The compiler doesn't necessarily know what your error types are, it can try to use heuristics to move those blocks around but it's not like an exception where the types are a part of the language and the compiler can know that. We're talking about startup code here, nobody will be annotating their error branches with manual predictor probabilities, so we're limited to what the compiler can do.

Yes the act of throwing an exception is more work but it's exceptional, so doesn't matter. The slowest part is calculating the stack trace anyway and that's of huge value, which you don't get with error codes anyway.
What I ended up doing when I was in a similar situation is manually edit the XML(sh3d files are XML) with proper measurements and coordinates after first doing a rough sketch on the GUI.

I haven't used that tool for a while, but I think that it includes a table with all the items (walls, etc.) where you can enter the measurements.

> I always thought we could put a black box around a black hole, and it would be indistinguishable from any other mass - that is, any other mass that can be treated as a point mass.

Yes, that's what the standard theory of black holes says.

> this result implies that the black box with the black hole will gain mass over time, even without adding any mass into the black box?

Sort of. First, it's important to note that the paper is talking about a special type of "black hole", an object that has "vacuum energy" inside it (which means something that acts like a cosmological constant in the Einstein Field Equation)--which isn't a standard black hole (those have zero stress-energy inside). The claim is basically that the total vacuum energy inside such an object can increase as the universe expands.

However, this does not mean that the ordinary "mass" of the black hole would increase. Vacuum energy doesn't work like ordinary mass. The effect that this model is claimed to account for is the accelerated expansion of the universe due to dark energy; basically this model is supposed to provide a mechanism for how dark energy could come into existence as a result of black hole formation (but, again, it's a special kind of "black hole", not the ordinary kind).

You mention point mass. Yes, the volume also matters. If your second black box contains the same mass but over a bigger volume, then the spacetime curvature it will cause will be less extreme than the black hole in the first box. The book I most like on this topic is Kip Thorne's Black Holes and Time Warps. IMO Thorne is a better explainer than Hawking.

I am (well, was, pre-pandemic) the odd Los Angeles tech worker who used the bus & my bicycle for all my commuting, and many of my errand runs.

I always enjoyed reminding my car-enslaved colleagues, "I never have to park the bus."

People fail to notice for all the time (and distance) spent walking back to retrieve their car. It always felt like such a victory to hop on and off busses, taking care of four or five errands, and never once having to retrace my steps.
