This is an old debate and yet one that is difficult to think through. I share your experience of having trouble convincing someone else not to combine things too hastily. Partly it's a "my gut feel is different to yours" situation, but I often don't have the confidence that I could articulate my reasoning without indulging in a wordy lecture on minutiae.

Lately I have been fixating on the following line of thinking: the unit of deduplication--usually a function, but sometimes even bigger--is the same thing as the unit of abstraction. When you dedupe, you've also given birth to a new abstraction, and those don't come for free. Now there's a new thing in the world that you had to give a name to, and that somebody else might come along and re-use as well, perhaps not in a context where you originally intended. The new thing is now bearing the load of different concerns, and without anyone intending it, it now connects those concerns. The cost of deduplication isn't just the work of the initial refactor; it's the risk that those future connections will break something or make your system harder to understand.

This reminds me of another famous Carmack pronouncement about the value of longer functions [1], which I think has some parallels here. In the same way we're taught to DRY up our code, we're taught to break up long functions. I sort of think of these two things as the same problem, because I view their costs as essentially the same: they risk proliferating new and imperfect abstractions where there weren't any before.

> We basically accepted a covid level death toll on the roads each year.

That's not even close to true. COVID killed at least an order of magnitude more people than road deaths (and that's not having an end date for COVID, just averaging everything over the past 3 years).

Humans seem fine at driving

For every 100,000,000 miles traversed, about one person dies. The latest Tesla FSD total distance numbers I saw were about 35,000,000 miles in total (but that number is 10 months old).

Humans are involved in accidents once every 19,000,000 miles. In December 2021, FSD was involved in accidents once every 4,400,000 miles
> San Francisco authorities hit back at Elon Musk and others who had used Lee’s killing to criticize law enforcement in the city.

Tagline is kinda weird... isn't murder kinda indicative of a law enforcement failure?
your response made it seem like you thought i was being serious. the best jokes are critical and can prompt discussion.
Interesting. But now the question is, will those cities increase / upgrade their public transportation systems to accommodate the influx of non-owners of personal transportation? And are people with that status going to stay that way? What are the odds that wide spread WFH is here to stay, or is it a fad?

gpsd doesn't do the position determination, it's more or less a clearinghouse for the data once it's been calculated.

Actually taking the raw waveforms from the ADCs and turning them into a (position, velocity, time) solution is an entirely different task.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention RTKLIB, which is an open-source package to do the PVT solving, using a whole bunch of different algorithms. It ALSO happens to include a bunch of plumbing to stick the pieces together, and thus in some ways overlaps functions of gpsd, but its primary function is actually solving the navigation equations.
I did switch away from Google mostly, and I've been pretty happy. Here's a query I just did with GPT-4 that I wouldn't have imagined doing a few months ago:

> Show me the top VR games with the teleportation movement option.

> Re-generate the list, but filter on shooters.

> Filter again on games available on HTC Vive.

I didn't copy its answer here (it's pretty long), but it was very helpful. Definitely better than searching on Google and trying to click through random blog posts.
I agree that eBPF running on a monolithic kernel is not a microkernel. I agree that microkernels are defined by privilege levels. I would not say that something is true microkernel simply because it is modular. I would agree that I am not a fully sane technologist.

I disagree that it is impossible to emulate any characteristics of running on a microkernel when one is, in fact, running on a monolithic kernel.

Just skim it and read a section or two to see for yourself. It's been more than a decade since I read any of it, but IIRC it's a from-first-principles build up of theoretical computer science. Basic algorithms, stuff like that. It is foundational, but it is also common knowledge and covered in tons of other very good textbooks. I usually recommend people read "Algorithms" by Sedgewick instead.
Big red button problem. As the big red buttons available to people become more likely to succeed and the barriers to pushing them lower, surveillance and control need to increase to the level required to stop anyone pressing the button.

So, yeah basically. If we go the "AI as slaves" route and the AIs are smart enough to do something like "modify Omicron BA.5 so that it produces prions in infected cells", then we would need surveillance and control capabilities that scale to the point that any given person can be stopped from pressing that button.

I personally think the solution is that we don't go the "AI as slaves" route, and instead grant personhood to AIs that pass a given test, with specific restrictions on conduct which is uniquely possible & potentially harmful for AIs. Then have an AI surveillance and enforcement agency, run by AIs, designed to prevent AIs from ever being used to (or choosing to) push the big red button.

I use it as a reference, perhaps 4/5 times a year.

Usually I reach for TAOCP with a reasonably clear idea of what specific problem I’m trying to solve and what class of algorithm I’ll try to find in there. So if you find yourself in this position at times, then might he worth the investment, otherwise I’d perhaps go for something like the Cormen instead, which can actually be pleasantly read cover to cover to get a better sense of the landscape, so to speak.

Personally I wouldn’t read TAOCP from cover to cover, the uncompromising rigor makes it quite the tough read.

If you have no problem living near homeless encampments, that is totally fine, you are welcome to live wherever you want.

Personally, I don't like living in a city where I walk past people pooping on the sidewalk. Which I've witnessed in SF. If you have statistics that people pooping on the sidewalk on the middle of the day happens 20% less often in SF than other cities, then great, I guess I'm just lucky to have not seen that in NYC,BOS,ATL.
Ah okay I see the distinction, that makes sense. We can give advance warning better than we used to but not predict the actual impetus.

<guess>VM space is not free. You need pagetables and various other structures to support it. The larger the VM space, the more of them you need, which costs real actual RAM. ASLR would make it worse as it will scatter VM allocations around the address space more, forcing the creation of a lot more 1st and second stage pagetables (and possibly other structures)</guess>
The strength of Emacs lies in customizing it to the user's needs. A clean installation of Emacs is not representative of what Emacs can be, but the various modern configuration frameworks such as Spacemacs and Doom Emacs offer a window into their creators' visions of what Emacs can be. And from there, it's easy to slowly transform their vision into your own.

These frameworks offer good defaults that lean towards having lots of features packed in, but it's easy to take away everything you don't want. Both Spacemacs and Doom Emacs can be stripped to almost nothing, leaving you with just a standard for organizing your custom configuration.

It depends on what you are trying to do though. I don’t think the kernel has an easy path to operating on a set of packet headers as a vector at this point. Not saying it can’t happen, but it’s an area where user space is already ahead.

For reference, there was a previous test that demonstrated 40gbps with ipsec between two pods on separate nodes in k8s where the encap/decap achieved 40gbps which was the line rate for the Intel NICs used.

I do agree that io_uring will negate the need for DPDK for many use cases though, it will likely be a much simpler path and more secure path than DPDK.
I'd say that the lesson learned needs to be broader than that. Any time Texas, California, Portland etc are mentioned the culture warriors of the left and right come out. The effect is a lot of lost trust for each other in this community when that happens. I do appreciate the people who posted on the other thread saying they were wrong about assuming a homeless person did it, but this won't be the last time culture war issues land discretely on the front page.
It's important to note just how under-reported SF's crime is. The police don't do anything (for many reasons) so citizens don't bother reporting.

So, if reported crime is already 41% higher than average - we can only imagine what the true figure is.
I don't know much about this field, but are the segments given as a list or with more structure, e.g., a tree? If the keys are given as children to the laptop, then I don't think breaking things down in detail would get in the way of a user.
I guess it all depends on your budget and how much disk you require. WD Black SN770 is $119 for 2TB and the Crucial P3 4TB is $219 @ AMZN. Prices have really tumbled and they might still go down a little. You could always check /r/DataHoarder or /r/HomeNAS on reddit to see what they advise.
It's backwards because we used to do it that way and then upgraded to declarative IaC which gave us better reliability and confidence. It's backwards because tools like Pulumi use techniques from before we learned better. It adds more complexity and makes understanding harder. I still don't see how this is a win. The only exception is for developers who don't want to learn the best tools & techniques for IaC, pandering to their preferences over providing better systems. Sure there is a market, but that doesn't make it a good product, especially at scale.

The process of writing, reading, and understanding how the infrastructure comes to be is important. If you have never been on call for a production outage, you won't know how hard it can be to make the correct fix in a stressful situation. Being able to do that is more important than how easy it is for anyone to write the initial version. Take your time writing good IaC during development, make high-stress situations easier.

It's not gated behind a single language, there are multiple tools that provide declarative IaC. You would be surprised at how many folks in the Ops space have not written code beyond simple scripts to glue various tools together. It's something I require for our devops hires, but it is not necessary for all orgs. Most of the time you are writing TF, CF, or Yaml anyway.

It is interesting that Pulumi now supports a Yaml interface, but at that point why use that over TF directly? In the end, Pulumi is just a wrapper around TF. Personally, I use CUE -> tf.json for IaC. It's a much better wrapper with provable correctness.
Wow, this looks like it fixes a lot of the minor gripes I have with SQL, thanks for mentioning it. It feels way less cludgy and "modernized" compared to SQL.
Sure. From my point of view, that means you can say "can't use Bob Lee as evidence of the rampant violence".

It doesn't mean you can say "You're wrong, there isn't rampant violence because this incident had a back-story"

There are some applications where the ability to vectorize the headers and operate on them with SIMD help. These types of apps tend to pin a full core to do only packet processing though. Also, syscall are expensive. A lot of work is going into making the APIs async while avoiding syscalls.
Fwiw, the finder here is not completely correct in their assertions. Locking the Bing CMS down to single tenancy would have meant that instead of the whole world having access, only about 180,000 Microsoft employees would have access. The actual number of people who should have access is about 50. Maybe 500 the way Bing is bloated. The problem here is that Bing CMS didn't implement the authorization half of authentication and authorization - they simply allowed all authenticated users to access all data. Multi-tenancy expands the scope, but it's not really clear what portion of the 25% of apps the finder surveyed that were multi-tenant similarly lack any authorization whatsoever.
Phenomenal. For what it’s worth, I think this would be a killer app for my phone. My kids would easily spend hours drawing and animating their creations.

I am as irreverent as you can probably get, in fact, if I have to say what I really think about religions in general, I am probably a blasphemer in every sense of the word.

Yet I believe this article. Because even I had a spiritual experience too real for me to discredit or brush aside, and I meant it not just mentally but physically too. It didn't completely change my views about religions, but it did soften my stance regarding beliefs since I realized how much it can help someone to believe in something. Even if in the end, it actually isn't real or has any deeper meaning, all that matters is the believer receives some solace. And that is enough good reason for it to exist.

The article mentioned that none of these dreams involved religious figures like Jesus but overwhelmingly had family members and people with close ties. Perhaps that says something about the "real" spiritual world that each of us instinctively understand. Or maybe it is nothing. I don't know.

This suspect is innocent until proven guilty and we will all still be here when the trial finishes. There is no reason to rush out to come up with a viewpoint that might be shown false with later revelations.

I guess my point is that difficulty is a relative thing. It depends on the task and on the individuals performing it.

Paying people to do the testing properly and, collecting and organizing the results. Making all those schedules. Making sure that the math needs is solid. Founding volunteers. Etc. All of that. It costs a bunch of money.

In the abstract, it could be said that it is a difficult process. I would not would not be able to organize it.

But for the people who are involve in those tests, and that have done that kind of thing hundreds of times, that is not a difficulty. It's routine.

If we are going to define "a difficulty" that way, then anything that a big company does is "a difficulty".

> A system where humans split garbage from recycling, and then potential split recycling into e.g. corrugated cardboard, glass and everything else can work just fine.

If it's done perfectly every single time - sure. But these are humans we're discussing...

It's silly to even have to think about if something can be recycled or not. Gotta look for that recycle number on the package first - ah, this seemingly regular plastic bottle cannot be recycled after all! Pizza box with a small amount of oil stain? Nope, can't recycle that either.

Sorting machines are clearly the only reliable way to manage waste. Everything else is a distraction meant to make you feel good about doing your part, even though the reality is you probably did some of it wrong and half of the stuff won't be recycled anyway.
That's assuming religious nuttery is an unavoidable prerequisite for whatever is lifting their birth rate. I don't think this assumption is merited - according to Pew surveys, Serbia has a similar rate of irreligion (3.3%) as Israel (3.1%), yet their fertility rate is only 1.4. On the other hand Mongolia is 36% irreligious but has a 2.9 fertility rate.

Religion and fertility may be correlated, but it's demonstrably not an unbreakable rule, and outliers abound, so we shouldn't just give up. Sources:

Exactly. Reuse through conditionals is a trap. “Look! I made a reusable thing!” No, you made a choke point. Dedupe what you can, then compose with the other 10% when you need it. No need to complect it, as Rich Hickey would describe it.
Small anecdote: I discovered the codebase for this project last week and assumed that it had already been advertised and popularised. Apparently that's just happening now.
