Your question reads as slightly tongue in cheek. But you can learn something by asking and answering it in this case. When should you think about rewriting something?

1. When it's a common recurring source of bugs/problems/pain.

2. When it's no longer fit for purpose. Often either because the purpose has changed in some way or because the purpose was misunderstood when it was created.

In this case at least some of the rewrites were prompted by subsystems being a common source of memory safety bugs continually popping up. Rewriting with technologies and techniques that eliminate some classes of memory safety bugs immediately and in the future is a pretty large payoff for a kernel.
The subtlety in this article is real.

While logically money is fungible, it is the illusion of not seeing the transaction happens that makes people feel welcome to enjoy hospitality in case of a friends beach house, dinner guest, catered party guest, etc. As soon as there is an explicit, incrementally attributable transaction triggered by their attendance, people often feel compelled to offer cash.

If you invite people over for dinner & cook, or its a catered party, they all feel comfortable.
As soon as you order takeout or ask what they want, they feel compelled to split the check. Even more so when dining out.
Even the difference between ordering an array of dishes in advance vs asking what they want / ordering once they've arrived totally changes how people respond.

It gets very awkward when you are trying to host & treat people, but they insist on compensating with cash.

For me, I don't get the point of having wealth/resources if I can't share them freely. Especially if you come from a more modest background and now make 5x what some of your friends/family do.

The Windows kernel really isn't that great by modern standards, neither codewise nor architecturally. And yes I know a lot about it.

There's a LOT of weird stuff lurking in there, and a lot of features they've added in recent years just doesn't work properly at all (anything uwp related...). Even the basics of how you start another process have turned into a labyrinthine mess. Then you have things they never fixed like the totally unhelpful NT file locking semantics that regularly break apps that work fine on UNIX.

NTFS is supposedly a nightmare of tech debt that uses SEH for control flow, yet their attempt to move Windows to a new ReFS stalled and failed. Note: Apple managed this with APFS and Linux distros have routinely introduced new file systems.

COM isn't a part of the kernel but is the same situation - incredibly complicated and has not been evolved well. Lots of failed rebrands, attempts to rejuvinate it that actually made things worse.
That sounds even wierder.

I can't think of any practical way to do that without macros, unfortunately. I've found incremental compilation to be pretty speedy for small markup changes so far though. I do tend to put the presentation code in it's own crate for larger projects, which might make a difference. Maybe as my projects get bigger I'll start to run into problems.

Some other ideas:

- Temporarily stopping the rust-analyser server to avoid lock contention on the build dir.

- Using cranelift codegen backend (not sure of it's current status).
RISC-V Bytes: Zephyr Before Main
I often compose fun little melodies while noodling around on the electric piano. So I always have my Sony MiniDisc deck hooked into my mixer, ready to record. It just takes two button presses to begin recording---convenient and reliable. And with subsequent playback, I can also play along with what I just recorded.

For ham radio, all my radios are connected through a line mixer and play through an Onkyo MiniDisc bookshelf system to amplify the audio. Again, it's two button presses to record anything I'm listening to.

I really love MiniDisc. It's a wonderful format.

In some cultures, it could create a situation where you are showing you're better than me and the person would feel humiliated. It's about the socioeconomic status[0] and how each person values that. In some countries that's valued more than other things like, say, being a kind person.

The author of this article seems to have lived in US/Canada which are very capitalist societies where people are expected to work hard and gather a lot of monetary resources. In these societies, showing you're better off than your friend might be considered a bad thing. People often hide things they bought or don't talk about that new house because it would create an awkward situation where people are comparing their socioeconomic status to others.

Is it stupid? Yes, but that's life.

I always wonder how people meet enough random samplings of young people to get this information!

I have 9 nieces and nephews, plus some neighbor friends that have kids. Of them, maybe 2 or 3 use iPads. The ones that have laptops (other than school provided) have them for PC gaming, and they run Windows. I guess I'm in a different area of the U.S. from you, based on my anecdotal data.
Can you give me a link to such a device? Sub 1000 laptop with 10H battery life, lighter and smaller than Air, higher performance than M1 sounds good.

I wonder why people buy those about Air heavy, about Air performing premium and expensive laptops then.
Oh, the 'I took it home already' feeling. I had a really bad case of this last week, bought a 17 KW solar inverter for a relatively small amount of money and lugged it home, all 50 Kg of it. It worked when it was taken off the wall according to the seller, but on plugging it in on my end it didn't work, though the display lit up and it seemed to work it wasn't making any power. Normally you'd return it as defective and that would be that but this thing is heavy and it was far away.

Long story short: the seller was a trustworthy fellow and definitely did not try to pull a fast one on me. What happened is that during assembly in the factory or a later repair someone smashed the lid into the main circuit board, almost but not quite tearing off one of those IDC headers for flat cable. Bits of it were rattling around in the case which already had me suspicious upon unloading it. That must have been quite the impact, those things don't normally break. The vibration of the transport across 200 km in a car with a stiff suspension did the rest and dislodged the cable completely. Plug the cable back in and it still worked, so I guess I got really lucky. It's been on the wall and has been making power for the last 3 days without any errors.
Yeah! I've never seen trains so clean and modern looking in my life. They look like they came out of a futuristic toy set.
> Which brings us back to regular discussion: C ( and C++ ) does not match hardware anymore. There is no real control over important properties of generated code. Programmers need tools to control what they write. Plug and pray compilation is not a solid engineering approach.

Not sure how one relates to the other. Do you want more fine-grained control over emitted assembly? Or do you want a general-purpose CPU that exposes microarchitecture details (i.e. "matching hardware")?

Only the former can be solved by tooling.

Counterpoint from another urban Amazon India user:

- Amazon is still the first place I look at when I want to buy something

- While the availability of next day delivery has reduced, shipping times are still decent and more importantly reliable

- Amazon Fresh has a much better selection than any instant delivery app and I can usually get same day delivery

- Cities account for the overwhelming majority of discretionary spending suited for e-commerce. I am not convinced servicing most small towns in India is profitable. The so called huge market is not something you can make money from.

Achieving an Undergraduate Level Understanding of Graph Theory
Your line of reasoning reeks of Europe worship with a token exception for obfuscation purposes. There are tons and tons of people who live in places like Boston and SF and Chicago without cars and do not feel any worse off for doing so. I used to be one of them. I would go so far as to say these people can enjoy all the opportunities of city life. Are they a majority? Probably not. But that's mostly a figment of how these cities absorbed their urbanized suburbs in the 20th century.
That's a very neat trick. In two decades of messing around with webcams we never clued in to that, and I'm pretty sure that this may well be one of the reasons why we had noise issues when using our very early bluescreen implementation.

This isn't unique to Apple: my Amazon devices have definitely become slower to respond, and less accurate when they do, than they were a while ago.

I think part of the issue is that the companies have not found a way to “properly” monetise the services (my echo thingies where dirt cheap and I've never done anything with them remotely like making a purchase) so they are essentially throwing money at the infrastructure to keep them running due to the fear of the backlash if they just let the services die.
In the EU, commercial pork production is almost exclusively done in large-scale indoor operations with hundreds to thousands of animals in one facility. These animals represent hundreds of thousands of Euros worth of investment for their owners and there are stringent laws and regulations in place that require everything that enters these facilities to be effectively sterilized. *Still* we get huge outbreaks of some disease or other every few years that can cripple pork production in entire regions. If pork producers can't keep pathogens out of their operations, just assume no one can do so effectively.
Often the workaround to graph representations that safe Rust can't do with the usual pointer approach is faster. You keep the data in an array, which improves your cache hit rate. Even C++ programmers will often use the same workaround either for safety or performance reasons.

As for overall performance in real programs, Rust seems to consistently do as well or better than C++ programs as the cases from Microsoft here show.
I don't think it is equally valid.

If GPT-4 was asked to enumerate all possible logical or literal interpretations of the sentence, or to analyse the most literal meaning, perhaps it would have included the second interpretation. But it's tasked with explaining the meaning in the way it is intended to be understood by a regular English speaker.

In natural language, at least in English, some meaning is implied by the absence of words or selection among conventions, when choices are available. The term for this type of non-logical implication is implicature. The Wikipedia article has many examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicature. This is what GPT-4 is referring to by "The sentence implies".

So, I think most native English speakers wishing to convey the second meaning would not say "I'm afraid the cat has been hit by a car". They would say, for example, "I'm concerned [or worried] the cat may have been hit by a car".

Even if they understand very well what literal, logical interpretations are possible, they assume pragmatically that using "I'm afraid that" along with the absence of "may" would be interpreted by native English listeners as the first interpretation, so the speaker knows to modify the phrasing if they want to avoid that outcome.

This is neatly complemented by the native listeners, who assume native speakers would modify the phrasing if they wanted the second interpretation, so when hearing "I'm afraid the cat has been hit be a car" it's reasonably safe to assume the speaker intends the first interpretation. The speaker assumes the listener knows that, closing the loop.

A type of social contract, if you will. It's part of the language too.

Because implicature interpretations and choices depend so much on probability-matrix evaluations over word choices that are not used but could have been in principle, it seems likely to be the sort of thing GPTs would excel at, compared with old-school language models trying to parse sentences into separable logical components.

You're spot-on about the cost of the restaurant vs the dinner but I think it's also worth pointing out that being invited to be wined and dined at home still feels awkward because it's usually expected that you bring in something (a gift if it's a special occasion or food if it's a potluck).

Additionally staying with them at their vacation home might feel less awkard than staying at their home because at their home you know they'll have to clean up after you whereas at the vacation home there's usually a cleaning fee included in what they already paid for.

I guess having a maid might cancel that out but at least where I live "I have a maid on call" money is more than "I can afford sometimes renting a vacation home with a spare bedroom for a trip".
Did you try it on an Apple Silicon Mac?

There was a lot of discussion of this at the time the M1s first came out, with loads of people (who had never touched one) confidently declaring that 8GB of RAM was far too little...and then nearly everyone who actually bought an 8GB M1 Mac saying "yeah, it might not handle heavy loads well, but that's what the Pro machines are for—in normal use, it has no problem at all with 8GB."

And then a bunch more people talking in a fair amount of detail (that kind of went over my head) about what Apple did to improve memory management with the M1 so that this would be possible.

So don't assume that 8GB on an Intel Mac is the same as 8GB on an Apple Silicon Mac.

Now, it does sound like you were trying to run a whole bunch of rather heavy stuff on it—y'know, the stuff that one might call "pro", and possibly even buy a "pro" machine for? The kind of thing where if you're buying the absolute bottom of the line, you might be able to expect that it wouldn't work well.

> if you're ever introducing a new language, regardless of context, throw some code samples

This is not a new language, it's a tool for Clojure.

I really appreciate the contributions that Nubank is making (after making Datomic free, https://blog.datomic.com/2023/04/datomic-is-free.html). My only nitpick this time is that I would have liked some screenshots/screencasts of the this new tool in action.
It will change station to station, but if you open the station details page, adjust X Range to something like 28/180 days, then tune low pass to filter out all the high frequency (daily) fluctuations, you might get your answer. Some stations don't have strong Solar contributions, and won't change much on an annual basis, you can enable the Harmonics toggle and see if any show up on the outside in yellow (disable Sun).

I did consider adding a "max finding" mode of some sort, but that's never really been my use case.
Interesting link, thanks for posting!

Datomic's covering indexes are heavily based on their built-in ordering, and doesn't really have much flexibility in different ways to sort and walk data.

Personally, I'm a fan of hybrid database approaches. In the world of serverless, I really enjoy the combo of DynamoDB and Elasticsearch, for example, where Dynamo handles everything that's performance critical, and Elasticsearch handles everything where dynamic queries (and ordering, and aggregation, and ....) is required. I've never done this with Datomic, but I'd imagine mirroring the "current" value of entities without historical data is relatively easy to set up.
