Not sure how that’s relevant to the article.

But since you’ve started this topic, I gotta say I love Gradle and I think it’s the best build system out there (until you reach a certain (huge) scale - then look at Bazel). I learned it by reading the docs a few times and contributing to OSS projects, improving their build scripts and plugins. Feeling pretty confident with it now.
I don’t get why it gets so much hate - as if people didn’t want to spend time to actually learn it. If Gradle gets this much hate, then CMake should get 100x more.
Sure, of course it is a statistics game. The point is to improve your odds. As someone who cares for two older family members, I can tell you that the more we do to keep our weight down, and maintain agility and strength, and give some priority to cardiac health, the better the odds of maintaining a high quality of life for a longer period of time. Its about creating some health margin so we can better handle the inevitable problems.

Pointing to anecdotes of healthy people who were stricken anyway as a reason to live an unhealthy life will end predictably.
I have sometimes found myself into that situation. I have to be careful not to overthink where to put my "brain room" for that day, otherwise I carry this overhead burden that rumbles all day long, questioning if I should be putting that effort elsewhere.

Definitely, brains are fun. They can be your best ally and worst enemy.

That would probably be a good thing. Russia doesn't want NATO to advance to its border, doing so is just provoking them, as it has before Ukraine: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/may/27/ukraine-drops-...

> Ukraine was considered a potential Nato partner along with Georgia. Concern in many Nato countries increased in 2008 when Russia responded with military force to a Georgian attack on South Ossetia, an enclave in Georgia.

> Since then, most Nato countries, including the US and Britain, have realised membership of Ukraine and Georgia would provoke conflict, notably with Russia. This month, the Albright report on Nato's new strategic concept made no mention of prospective Ukrainian membership of the alliance.
Hmmm. I can easily see Prusa accidentally bidding against their own sourcing and driving up prices like that, but mostly because some of their component choices were unusual compared to the rest of the market. For example, pretty much all of the cheap i3-inspired 3D printers coming out of China switched to 32-bit controller boards years ago, but Prusa stuck with the Atmega 2560 until basically last week. That's kind of a niche part and the entire Atmega range was in short supply globally for a good while during the pandemic. With the way supply chains have been, they could easily have ended up being a huge chunk of the market trying to buy that or similarly unusual parts through brokers at some points.

I think fragmentation is grossly exaggerated. Or at least, its effects are. It’s not like there’s a single universal ARM binary you can build and run on every SoC. At the very least the memory map will be different, the specifics of how peripherals behave is different, and often there are very vendor specific tool chains you need. x86 is different of course but there are two major x86 chip vendors after all.

We can take some lessons from Linux fragmentation - real and imagined - to see where all this will end up. Some things are still distribution specific but a lot of things like the FHS are indeed quite standardised. I think that’s where we will end up with RISC-V.

Vector is a very obvious place for fragmentation for two reasons; it’s only been a short time since it was ratified, so many of the implementations will be pure ratification, and since it constitutes many players’ competitive advantage they will tend to make it closed and proprietary.
Definitely Cherno. He not only talked about C++ but also about engine programming. Javidx9 is also good.
That sounds terrible. I have a yard with a nice block wall and privacy hedges growing over the top. I have a pool, spa, 100s of plants in my garden, every type of bbq contraption you can think of, a large tv and other games for lounging and best of all, I decide who besides my family can be there. I don’t have random teenagers, homeless people, or quincenaras with mariachi bands in my backyard.
I had a similar thought as well. The questions are then, first, how do we think/work in more cache-friendly manner? Do things linearly, plan things ahead, don't branch out on random noise? And, how to minimise allocations? Don't try to ingest more information than what you can fit on your "stack"?

I'm a bit in two minds about these things. On the one hand it feels wrong it was removed from the country of origin. On the other hand would it have been as well preserved if it hadn't been?

On the third hand, this is clearly a cultural concern as had I been born 100 years ago I wouldn't have cared in the slightest about removing a document from primitive people. And had I been born 100 years in the future I wouldn't have the slightest regard for the biological humans' concerns.

Perhaps it all works out.
Even if we grant that that’s the biggest problem here, what exactly does it imply that anyone in this situation should do? The woman whose story opens the article has let her father live with her family and trimmed back her fledgling business.

We have an old samsung, from before that division was acquired by HP.

Instead of supporting HP’s printer business, I buy third party toner cartridges on Amazon for 25% the price.

The official supplies are generally inferior.

I’m not sure how much this applies to brother, but it means I pay $5-10 per year for toner. We use multiple reams of paper a year.
That’s how the critics of these programs spiked the programs. “Welfare Queens” were supposedly driving around with Cadillacs, so controls had to be in place.

I spent several years working on social services IT. The biggest welfare beneficiaries are companies like IBM, CSC, Accenture, Unisys, Northrup Grumman, etc and their employees.

That’s why some politicians were so terrified of the COVID relief programs. The government efficiently provided direct cash aid to millions of people with minimal fraud while the complex controlled systems like unemployment insurance were just raided by fraudsters. We made people’s lives measurably better, saved the economy from
collapse, etc, and then took it all away.

This is a rather vague statement... Protecting the rights sounds noble but I'd look at the whole package. Workers are doing very well in industries like tech with ~0 unions. American auto workers are doing worse than they used to because they made their industry long-term uncompetitive for a short-run benefits.

Police and teacher unions are great for their members (protecting the incompetents, make-work); so are guilds like AMA (artificially limiting the supply of doctors, including qualified immigrants) but terrible for society.

The general pattern is that unions are parasites, so they can only go 2 ways - they can make the host weaker or kill it off; or if the host itself has captive audience (e.g. taxpayers) they just make it worse for everyone on average, while transfering some of the remaining reduced pie to their members. Note how much teacher unions hate private and charter schools - they really don't want people to be able to escape the system, it would interfere with milking the taxpayers with nothing to show for it.

the difference between kilowatt hours per gram and joules per kilogram also does not matter if you're focused on getting a kilowatt hour electric for the smallest amount of lifecycle carbon dioxide; a kilowatt hour per gram is precisely 3.6 gigajoules per kilogram, nothing more, nothing less. the only benefit of using the 'topical' units is an unnecessary risk of calculation errors and other kinds of confusion

this nonsense about topical units is the reason that medieval merchants would measure certain kinds of cloth in flemish ells of 27 inches and other kinds of cloth in english ells of 45 inches; silver was weighed in troy ounces of 480 grains, drugs were weighed in apothecaries' drams of 60 grains (or apothecaries' ounces, which were the same as troy ounces), and foods were weighed in drams of about 27.3 drams, or avoirdupois ounces of 437½ grains

kilowatt hours and grams per kilowatt hour are the modern equivalent of apothecaries' drams
Ideally, this will be resolved diplomatically by someone who knows how to handle these personalities. From that point we might learn from their example.
> What you've quoted is about "distribution of domestic tasks", which is specifically outside of employment.

They're directly related, because time spent on domestic tasks takes away time available for the notoriously time-intensive South Korean work culture.

Moreover, time spent child rearing also takes away time available for paid work. Of course many women choose to do this, but the question is to what extent this choice is forced upon them by various circumstances: society's expectations, the father's refusal to spend equal time child rearing, lack of accommodation for child rearing for both mothers and fathers by employers, etc.

There are many high paying jobs that employers refuse to hire at "part time", so they're excluding everyone who has significant time responsibilities outside of work. Also, employers tend to look unkindly at "gaps" in one's résumé, and time spent on childcare is an important example of a gap. These gaps can also make it more difficult to get promoted to higher positions within a company—those higher positions naturally coming with higher compensation.

A lot of people seem to think that women are just "choosing" lower paid positions, but realistically, what other choice to they have, other than remaining childless? Employers seem to act as if children didn't exist, or are some kind of "illness" that at most warrants a few weeks off.
Americans seem to have a special aversion to weakness. Being poor is a facet of that:

On public assistance and buying a smartphone? “That’s irresponsible and abusing the system!”

Wealthy and taking PPP loans or dodging taxes? “That’s smart and opportunistic thinking!”

In other words, the rationalizations exist to justify beliefs that were conceived long before these examples were discussed: namely, the wealthy are inherently more virtuous and better people all around.

We are unable to think differently on this because digging into it too much risks tearing down most people’s fragile motivational structures around their own striving.

I was raised in a religion and I'm considering returning to it. It gave me peace, and although I know I may be deluding myself, I like the effects. I think I can hold both views in myself, this religion serves me, but it may be wrong and I understand it doesn't serve everyone and it's okay if others choose other religions or no religion. I will also be much more hesitant to give money to my religion.

This couldn't be more wrong. What you say to never use unreachable for is one of the most important use cases of unreachable. The whole point is to give the optimizer an assumption that it can't figure out on its own.
I think "working from home" is usually used to mean "working remotely" here, not literally "working from a residential house that you own". Though some offices are still used for remote work (i.e. software development), it's not exactly "working remotely" since you have to be present in the office.

Farms wouldn't count as working remotely, since you're on the farm performing physical labor, even if it's at home. Software development in an office (or customer support in a call center) wouldn't count as working remotely, since you have to be in the office to perform that work (even if you use internet-connected devices to do so).

But using your computer at home to do software development for a company, or having a phone at home to do customer service, etc. would be working remotely.

IMHO it gets even more subjective around "software development from home wouldn't actually be remote if it's a startup that is based in your home, but it would still be working from home technically". But you get the idea.

A lot of modern TCP tweaks have been added over the years to make the protocol faster and better. We're long past the Reno algorithm and ethernet CSMA sensing taught in textbooks, despite much of the protocol remaining seemingly unchanged.

Personally, I'd much rather have seen SCTP get picked up than QUIC for solving the HTTP/3 problem, but we need to wrap modern protocols in 1980's UDP or risk networks dropping the traffic for no good reason. TLS 1.3 had to be written in a specific way to look like TLS 1.2 or middleboxes everywhere would throw a fit.

Some old protocols used are used because they Just Work, (most of) NTP is a clear demonstration of that. However, many other protocols are still in use simply because rolling out alternatives isn't feasible.

Now I'm inspired to try to fill out this list...

Pegasus (company's first try overall), Antares, all of the Minotaurs, Atlas 3 and 5 might count as new... Epsilon, H-2 (new?), Vega, Ariane 1, 3 & 4... And the Ariane 1 is both totally new on a systems level and an institution's first attempt at building one. Long March 5, 6 & 7.

Of the investor-backed launch startups, I think it's either no company got it first try... or Orbital Sciences counts as making it first try with Pegasus. Not sure if they count as an investor backed startup.

I won't be surprised if there are camps of researchers aiming to reach opposite conclusions.
I referred to sockets as an API design, not to express an opinion on whether you should place your protocol implementations inside or outside the kernel. (Although that’s undeniably an interesting question that by all rights should have been settled by now, but isn’t.)

Even then, I didn’t mean you should reproduce the Berkeley socket API verbatim (ZeroMQ-style); multiple streams per connection does not sound like a particularly good fit to it (although apparently people have managed to cram SCTP in there[1]?). I only meant that with the current mainstream libraries[2,3,4], establishing a QUIC connection and transmitting bytestreams or datagrams over it seems quite a bit more involved than performing the equivalent TCP actions using sockets.

I'm reading in the comments on this HN story about how things like lack of showers or longer distances or hills make bicycling impractical. As a lifelong cyclist and a recent electric bike owner, I view recent technological advancement in electrified micro-mobility to be a game changer. I've made a significant investment in a custom-built steel frame electric bike that I have outfitted with racks and panniers for shopping trips and commuting to the office.

As a former Trek customer who hasn't been inclined to purchase another bike from them, they still send me their new product line magazines. Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but I was astonished when I grabbed the latest edition from my mailbox yesterday and thumbed through it. Trek is going ALL IN on electric bicycles. Pages 4-5 have a big flow chart helping people decide what type of electric bike to buy, depending on factors such as whether you're on dirt trails or paved streets, whether you will be transporting cargo and children, whether you value speed or comfort, and so on.

Non-electric bikes are now sort of an afterthought. If you flip to the back of the magazine you'll still find them, but the electric versions of several models are still interspersed. For example they have the Domane SLR (a model I still have in my garage), but on the next page they pimp the electric Domane+. Their blitz on electric bikes might be working for me, since I'm seriously considering being a Trek customer again and "trading up" for it, in spite of the bad experiences I've had trying to get them to support the Domane SLR they sold me in 2017.

America is facing a reckoning with its transportation infrastructure and car culture. Electric bikes are so compelling in terms of cost, convenience, fun, and practicality, more and more people will be riding them on the "stroads" and will be demanding changes so they feel safer doing so. If that means taking away lanes and parking spots from vehicular traffic, adding separated cycle tracks, reducing speed limits, adding traffic-calming measures, introducing safe-passing laws, and stepping up enforcement and penalties, then in my book that can't happen soon enough.
