It's a harmless bit. The joke (if I remember correctly) is that these two creatures are aliens that pop up and don't know what the thing in front of them is. For children (and adults) it is silly because, of course, we know what a computer is – we've seen one dozens of hundreds of times! Compound that confusion with a silly way of speaking to reaffirm that they're not from earth and it makes you giggle.

As for the developmental impact, I think it's quite positive. Sesame Street has been and continues to be a great source of knowledge and useful lessons & morals for children. Adding in some silly situations like this helps keep them engaged and develop their sense of humor.
> The only one who can answer that question is the free market. And while not satisfying for everybody, it certainly is the best answer we found so far while trying various forms of organisations with this humankind of ours.

I do not agree with you.

First of all because "the free market" is so vague as to be capable of encompassing a huge variety of economic arrangements with wildly different outcomes. Secondly because it absolutely was not "the only one that got us fed" - any sufficiently long read of history will make that clear. Thirdly, because it is far from clear what the role of the ill-defined "free market" has been in the development of magic devices connected to the freaking cloud. Involved? Probably? Responsible? I'd say probably not.

But it's fine, I'm not trying to convince you. We just don't see the world in the same way.

You were referring to outdoor masking. I would assume indoor masking is because... people don't want to get (or spread) covid. Since that still exists, and immunocompromised people still exist. Shocking, I know!

I think the article is written for the anti-Amazon headline. It refers to "Amazon’s insurance company" partway through.

I know in the UK, all publicly funded STEM research must be published as open-access.

The problem is in this case, researchers have to pay a further premium to journals (>£4,000 per paper). So this funnels further public funds to the journals
Pretty disingenuous representation. The market unified around USB-C, except for Apple, who continued to be the sole player pushing proprietary charging ports

Therefore, regulation is actually only impacting one player, and is extremely likely to reduce electronics waste, which makes it quite a nice political move. The claim of "authoritarianism" makes no sense, because governments are regulatory bodies and this regulatory move has clear motivations and positive expected outcomes, plus is incredibly easy to enforce.

Nice try though.

If the user kills your program with Ctrl-C, you don't have any destructor guarantees. If your program is killed by the OS because the user logged off or powered down their machine, you don't have any destructor guarantees. If your program fails an assertion, you don't have any destructor guarantees. If your program segfaults, you don't have any destructor guarantees. This really isn't that exotic of a scenario.

My personal opinion is that using RAII to do anything that you wouldn't trust the OS do for you in the event of an early termination is setting yourself up for disaster.

I'm conflicted on this one. I have really good Sony ones, and whenever I wear them for even 30 minutes, when I take them off I feel worse.
I don't know if it's all in my head and they objectively don't make it worse, however I also now avoid wearing them.

I've probably used them for < 20 hours in the last year, half of that while driving long distance. My car also creates a lot of white noise.
This is pretty uncontroversial in an embedded system context. As others have said in this thread, nothing spectacular happens if STL throws, it just boils down to a std::terminate. You can mitigate this by being careful with what you do with STL.

Also, in a real-time system context, exceptions can be undesirable since they might cause non-deterministic behaviour.

Catching an exception can be surprisingly costly. Did some benchmarking a while ago on the embedded, real-time system I work on and saw that throwing and catching a std::runtime_error had about the same execution time as a rather slow CRC32 calculation (no pre-calculated tables, no special instructions) of a 256 bytes input array. (Of course, this depends a lot of the CPU architecture, compiler, etc.)
The M1 has a lot of ALUs, an 8-wide instruction decoder, and a huge reorder buffer. It can decode and execute a lot of instructions on every clock and plenty of space to execute them in an advantageous order. Ignoring power draw, Intel and AMD beat the Mx then they hit higher clock speeds, the Mx top out at 3GHz, and/or pack in more P-cores.

Who's "we" in the "best answer we found so far" statement?

Ignoring for a fact that having magic devices that do some esoteric operation isn't a useful measurement of any kind of 'wealth' (as if having the privilege to own an iPhone while working 10 hour mind-numbing days at an amazon warehouse is 'luxury'), you do realize that the fact you're posting here when most of the world under the free market lives in abject subsistence poverty speaks to the fact that our system only works when we're able to parasitically suck wealth, resources and labour from less powerful countries.

Also, somehow doubt those pensioners and others in the 1990's who lived through the former USSR's transition to "the free market" were really enjoying their new found freedoms as life expectancy, wages and quality of live plummeted except for a handful of the very same nomenklatura in charge before becoming even more insanely privileged than before.

The 'free market' in this conception is just letting the 'nomenklatura' types of people be even more insanely wealthy than everyone else because now they have even less guardrails preventing them from exploiting and manipulating everyone around them for self-enrichment.

> you mean comparing before and after COVID?

No, I just mean that the study observed an increase in incidence of autoimmune disorders which cannot be explained by COVID because of the window of collection.

> Over the study period, age and sex standardised incidence rates of any autoimmune diseases increased (IRR 2017–19 vs 2000–02 1·04 [95% CI 1·00–1·09]).

I completely agree with COVID both being generally dangerous even outside of the acute infection and that it has likely caused a substantial increase in autoimmune disorders. This study just indicates that there are likely other environmental factors at play as well that predate COVID.
Are we back on the Google thread? /s
Indeed. A chip no one even wanted. I guess it kind of worked for them, tho.
I very much agree with a lot of the conclusions. But the descriptions of experience, such as education just serving individual students whims, as opposed to providing rigorous knowledge of topics, I find completely counter to my personal experience.

I went to university during the era or the writings, early 1980s. My course work in electrical engineering was very techincally rigorous. i got no credit for "radio programs", or anything like that.

Even the few humanities electives I was reequired to take (I chose "History of Eastern Religions", "Survey of Art History", among others) where difficult courses requireing ressearch and informed writing.

I consider myself very left aligned politically, but I do agree on the distruction currently being caused by DEI policies.

The modern idea that one primarily needs to affiliate with a specific identity, this being practiced both among the wing-nuts and the woke-nuts, does appear very present, salient and central to the disintegration described as "the reign of universal ignorance" in the article.

> "lsd is great, you should try it" is fine. "take this much and if you're on this is fine. i survived" is not, imho.

I guess I should have worded it differently.

The dose I took was actually ~1/2 a tab, as compared to starting with a full tab (the exact ug is basically impossible to know). Some people would view this as "wasting it". I think starting with a full tab would likely be overwhelming for some people, but I don't mean to say any ug is "safe" or recommended. It's just that a lot of people are going to do it anyway, and if they do I'd rather they have the best chance at being safe. This stuff isn't really well medically documented so it's basically all off "experiences".

I haven't used it in years, and I wasn't doing super well at the time.

> I am not sure how "native threads" == "green threads"

You are still confused. Green threads and native threads are mutually exclusive implementation strategies for threads. Native threads are provided by the O/S. Green threads are implemented at the user level without relying on any O/S capabilities. Green threads, by definition, run in a single O/S process and can therefore only use one core.

I'm familiar with those. Those are not "green threads". But whatever you call them, you can do those things in Lisp too.

Engine noise is a tiny part of it, the sound of the tires and wind is a significant component. A petrol powered BMW 7 series is for example quiter than a Tesla model S. While they have a roughly similar weight, shape and size.

My M1 was used for Google video meetings and development, with some firefox thrown in occasionally.

Don't get me wrong - 5 hours is still better than any other laptop I've used, I'm just constantly surprised by people who claim that any competing laptop has to last 8 hours or more.

Yesterday, in response to one of my comments, someone claimed to get regular and consistent 16 hours from their M1.

I really cannot see how that's possible unless they only use it for google searches or reading social media.
But that's exactly what it is. Over time, willingness to take the pills, and ability to follow through on intent to take the pills, will be bred out of the population.
What exactly are you asking for here? Because you've already been informed that AMD and Intel systems using LPDDR5 at the same speed and bus width are now available. On paper, every new laptop using soldered LPDDR is now over 100GB/s for DRAM bandwidth. Are you asking for synthetic benchmark results comparing achievable throughput against theoretical bandwidth, or are you just being obtuse?
Quarkus also has a lot of annoying warts, as does just plain ol' Java.

Also, setting up the only other alternative to an uncontrolled free market as being Soviet communism to begin with is incredibly ignorant and naive.

I'm sure this same scenario played out during aztec human sacrifices. Someone asks "do we really need to do all these human sacrifices to ensure a good harvest?" and the other responds "well, maybe not, and its not satisfying for everybody, but its probably the best answer we found so far. Do you want to live off bugs in the jungle? That's your only other choice, sorry"

Yes, a completely reasonable choice when they made the goal clear (reducing waste) and literally everyone else managed to work together and Apple was the only one who decided to play stupid games.

We may tolerate the fiction of corporate personhood in some circumstances, but companies are not people, and their "rights" should be strictly limited - especially when they purposefully ignore the wishes of elected representatives for a decade.
I think that's quite unfair. The article contains many different tips on how to reduce size. Rewriting in a different language was just one of them, pretty far down on the list.

Many people believe that every human is essentially equal to every other and has an equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that a government that represents the will of the people, even imperfectly, is preferable to a dictatorship.

A lot of this criticism could also be levelled at Azure’s AKS service.

IPv6 is broken there as well, and they similarly overcharge for logging. However, instead of 50c per GB, they charge $2.75 per GB, which is highway robbery. That’s more than 5x what GCP or AWS charge.

I swear Microsoft must have been aiming for “half price to be competitive” and then accidentally put the decimal point in the wrong place.

Let this sink in: they charge the price of a serviceable used car or a decent gaming PC to store 1 TB of text for a month!

Within the EU, if you order a microwave from France to be delivered to Ireland it should be provided with the correct plug.

Generally, something larger like a microwave or TV would come with an alternative power cord. Something smaller comes with a 2-prong European plug and a semi-permanent UK/Ireland adapter.

(Incidentally, the EU considered changing to a single mains plug, but wisely decided it wasn't worth the hassle.)

> Were those startups that went out of business did so because of their stacks/architecture, or are you confusing correlation with causation?

As far as I am aware, and I can tell, it wasn't because of the stacks / architecture, but lack of product market fit. The fact that the response to lack of PMF was to double down on product features and tech (instead of a business pivot), in my opinion, was what made the investor money go poof and the startup die down. I've seen this happen' in too many places (as an employee or consultant) to be a coincidence.

> And, there is a good reason people shy away from PHP, and it has nothing to do with trying to be "flashy." There should be a name for this kind of fallacy.

Different stacks for different use cases. If I can't get money with a shitty PHP product offering, it's probably best to figure out why instead of attributing it to my tech stack.
I think you're conflating problems here. IDLs allow interface definitions for interactions that cross compute and administrative boundaries, and event-driven architectures do not require compute distribution (Erlang/beam).

Different people have different strengths and anxieties. The suggestion that, with some regularity, the lack of (local) ambiguity of event message arrival may be of higher leverage relative to complexity than increasing the surface of an invokable interface does not seem beyond the pale.

Ultimately relinquishing a total temporal ordering is going to be painful regardless of whether it's local or distributed.

This is a discussion for us tech folks. When it comes to business. Customers don't give a rat's ass about this as long as the product provides them with value.

If you're flooded with customers and the tech stack is a pain in the ass, perhaps it would be a good time to start considering this, but until you have this problem, the technical aspects are just wasting investor money and / or engineering time.
I think modern "kids" (who now are in their early 40s perhaps!) don't quite get how useful the spacial finder was to non-technically aligned people. "I left it right here" is a huge piece of memory that our brains have developed over millennia, and the spacial finder played right into that.
