The people who use DPDK and the like are a lot quieter about it. The nature of kernel development means that people tend to hear about what you're doing, while DPDK and userspace networking tends to happen in more proprietary settings.

That said, I'm not sure many people write webservers in DPDK, since the Kernel is pretty well suited to webservers (sendfile, etc.). Most applications that use kernel-bypass are more specialized.

"The popular narratives and assumptions about childbearing and family life that undergird anti-reproductive norms are mostly false. The ordinary risks of childbirth are quite navigable and the actual costs of children—instead of those of parental conspicuous consumption to keep up with current standards of respectability—are quite low. It is far easier to combine children with other pursuits in one’s energetic twenties than in the late thirties or beyond.

But most people do not make these decisions based on theory or argument. They do so because their friends and relatives and role models are also happily raising children around them."

That's the core issue here - people being memetic animals instead of thinking for themselves and taking decisions in matters that are (or should be) of utmost personal importance. Ideology won't solve this problem, it may just kick it a bit further down the road, and that's it.

For pretty much their entire history as species, humans did not had to take reproduction related decisions. It just happened, and in both conception and child rearing, the instincts were there to help continue the bloodline. For (what is supposed to otherwise be) a rational being, it was hardly a rational decision. Only now, when the conditions changed enough to sever the effects of this instinctual "olimbical chord", a true exam of rational capacity begins. A lot will fail and much of the current genepool will vanish, but in all fairness, sooner or later it will have to. The article looks ahead, to a far future, where humankind is supposed to face higher degrees of challenge, thus the demands for rational behavior will most likely be higher too. Now may be the best occasion for such a feat. Maybe addressing the factors that hinder reproduction and child rearing (for those that happen to consciously choose it) will render positive effects, but actively encouraging people to have children when they wouldn't otherwise? How could this make sense (from a species level prospective)?

I find and register domains for people (not formally, just on the side through word of mouth) and ignoring the times they’re a small local business specifically want a country tld, I still manage to find a relevant and “good” (memorable etc) .com 95% of the time.

Yes the lowest hanging fruit are taken but there’s still plenty available. I found a 7 digit .com the other day that had no weird spelling or any of that crap. Just two short words combined that were relevant to the project.

I also truly believe that if you’re trying to grow a “real” business and sell to the public, then a .com or .com.<country> TLD is a lot more respected and trusted by a vast majority of the general population.
> “Since the movie “Inconvenient Truth” the amount of ice of the world has increased significantly toward the mean.”

> That is 100% accurate. You’ve assume I said something else and constructed a straw man argument.

No, I assumed you said that. I think what you intend to now say is "Comparing the arctic sea ice levels between 2006 (the year "An Inconvenient Truth" came out) and today, there is little to no difference in levels." That statement is true and unarguable. It is fact. But it is also very precise and I'd argue not useful.

You are extrapolating by using the word "trend" as that incorporates a more continuous nature of things. That is why we looked at multiple years. Because we need to see a trend. Systems are noisy and if we just take two samples we can't compare them that well because we haven't really incorporated the error/uncertainty associated with those data points. By incorporating more years we are doing just that. We could be much more rigorous and tighten our error bounds, but the process we did is sufficient to discredit your claim.

The truth is that 2023 is only just starting. If we look at 2020-2022 we see that up until... July 1st, that they are near identical to the 2006 values. But that's when they all diverge and there becomes a large gap (July 1st till about Dec 1st).

The 60s comment is addressed in the other comment. Let's not merge two threads.

Re Mars: That article is about methane and not about global temperatures. I'm not sure why this is relevant. Doesn't even mention the delta.

Re Pluto: It explains the difference right there in the article. Earth's eccentricity: 0.017; Pluto's eccentricity: 0.249. A 15x difference seems to play an important role and makes for good explanations about different mechanisms. I mean the fucking thing gets closer than Neptune during its orbit and this was one of the reasons it was downgraded to a dwarf planet.

I'm no longer assuming good faith. You're not even reading your own sources and considering other opinions. I have made the mistake of trying to play chess with a pigeon. I should have expected my board to be full of shit, but I tried to be nice.

> Users understand passwords.

Do we? My password manager has 1031 entries. I know maybe 3 of my passwords. For the rest, the fact that it's technically a password is mostly irrelevant to me. And there are a number of things I use that are magic link logins, where the "password" is a one-time key that gets emailed to me and used immediately.

So from my perspective, the notion of "password" is wildly obsolete; most of what passes for that these days is machine-generated strings that don't know and almost never see. I'd be perfectly happy to go one step further and have a proper protocol such that BitWarden and the site talk directly, leaving me out of things.

The saddest thing is people can only think about this topic in economic terms.

„According to the public prosecutor of Nanterre, two Paris Police Prefecture motorcycle officers noticed a Mercedes-Benz A Class AMG with a Polish license plate driving at high speed in a bus lane, driven by a young-looking person at around 7:55 am. The officers activated their warning signals (audible and visual) and indicated to the driver of the car, then stationary at a red traffic light, to stop. The vehicle proceed to start moving and ran the red light. The officers followed the car and alerted their superiors via radio. The car committed multiple traffic violations, endangering a pedestrian and a cyclist. Due to traffic congestion, the vehicle was eventually forced to stop.“

No, I’m not at BigCo, at least not in anything at all close to the scale of of FAANG.

But I do work in an industry where even the C-level people usually (not always) have at least a little interest in truly pursuing mission <X>

I know this for a fact because even though I am not at all C-level or even the manager of a large team, I often have a seat of the table in the meetings where such people come together. Those meeting can be ugly, they can reveal how the sausage is made, to borrow that analogy. And I’ve seen how many (not all) truly are trying to get <X> done but doing so may require a bit of ugly sausage making to get there.

And I’m not a wide eyed 4th year either. I’m a grizzled and usually cynical veteran in my field. My job is often to put out fires, or produce analytical tools or output of strategic importance, and also to sometimes to plug a major gap in operational capabilities. I’m not really a manger but I’ve earned a seat at the table when the highest people get together as well as when they interface with counterparts at other organizations.

Don’t take that that to mean too much though: I may have a voice, but it is by far, very far, the smallest voice in the room.

I installed Factorio 4 times, and uninstalled it three times.

The slow pace at the start, and the somewhat lifeless 2D isometric graphics simply didn't do it for me.

But the blog posts were fascinating, and people kept raving about it, so on that 4th install I decided to soldier on and actually get somewhere.

I now rate it as one of the greatest games ever made. It is insanely technically impressive, able to run megabases with trains and belts and robots and inserters and all the rest of it at 60 FPS. It doesn't crash. It's incredibly fun and very addictive. Amazing mods, amazing community.

I can't wait for the expansion. I'll just assume from the start it will be as polished as Factorio is.

It's kind of disingenuous to talk about how great your concurrency system is when you only allow a single writer. RCU (which I imagine your system is isomorphic to) is pretty simple compared to what many DB engines use to do ACID transactions that involve both reads and writes.
Welcome to the grey areas of the real world.
Offhand, I can't think of any 'park and ride' style Car <> Transit (train or not) interface in the USA that _does_ charge anything to park there. Finding a spot might be an issue, but there's no cost as that's sort of built into getting someone to take the transit system at all.

As someone else pointed out, any additional friction (multiple transfers, etc) results in a direct all car route.

Most people are somewhat emotionally rational, but the models for calculating the emotional cost (friction) get everything wrong.

Delays past about 5-10 min increase the emotional cost exponentially. Stacking delays (multiple not-user controlled) legs grow even faster. Any uncertainty in the route also massively increases the emotional cost, more so if there's nothing the commuter can do. Contrast Japan's famously well run trains that will even issue an apology the commuter can take to the office of someone else being at fault (I remember this offhand, don't have proof offhand).

Also, the car is more than just getting the person there; it takes their stuff. Abandoning that car leaves behind the potential to move larger items or stacks of things. Plus the car might be critical for visiting friends, stores, etc after work.

All of that factors into the commuter cost.

If I were shipping a game today I would say “I support Steamdeck”. If any users complained about it not working on their particular Linux machine I would say “you’re on your own, good luck!”.

I would proudly advertise “Steamdeck support” and I would definitely never claim to “support Linux”.

IIRC for my Linux project something like 40% of support tickets were from the 1% of Linux users. Give or take. Never again!

> European mostly commute by car... In France ~4 times as many people commute by car

Yeah, because there's effall transit outside major cities? This is kind of a pointless statistic because overwhelmingly when we talk about this it's in the context of major cities. And the fact that smaller cities don't have transit isn't something desirable, it's a sad failure that those cities are trying to address.

> Even in Paris, something like a third of all commuters drive a personal car

Now we're talking - in major cities, the overwhelming majority of people do not commute by car. It would literally by physically impossible for everyone to commute by car.

> many if not most would prefer to drive, they just can’t afford it

> biggest user of public transit are students and retirees

this is pure bs

It's been the case for ages. They show absolute disregard for the unique users. All they care about is their pseudo monopolized aggregates.

Here’s a question, if Stripe or PayPal for example are processing so many transactions why can’t they see this stuff coming a mile away?

Shouldn’t it be trivial to “triangulate” the origin of a card hack / leak after like, I don’t know, three or four transactions? This whole thing seems rigged to put make small businesses liable for covering the cost of the PII failure of probably a banking institution, or a minimum a completely different small business!

"No proper arrays/slices" is definitely up there, but I'd nominate "no dedicated error handling" for the #1 spot, by virtue of how much trouble it causes compared to how easily it could be fixed. Go has a reasonable and remarkably lightweight approach here: add just enough of a tuple types feature to support multiple return values, and then make the rightmost return value an error flag by convention. Easy! No more "zero indicates success unless the return type is a pointer" nonsense. Bonus points for something like `error` that gives tooling a clue, but even that we could live without.

Strong authentication/payment confirmation and strong consumer liability protection are not mutually exclusive.

There's C99 `arr[static size]` function argument syntax, but it's still not a proper slice type. Compilers may warn about incorrect direct uses of such argument (although last time I checked they don't), but it still decays to a pointer. You can't use this as a type of a variable or a struct field. There's no way to make subslices (safe pointer arithmetic) without losing the arrayness argument magic, etc.
I think you're on the right track, but I'd argue it's even more abstract than this. Assuming a transfer represents uncertainty in arrival time, do you want it early or later in your trip? If the transfer is near the end of your journey, it means the uncertainty is ahead of you for most of the trip. Even if the early part of your trip is going smoothly, you still don't know if you'll arrive on time. On the other hand, if you get your transfer over with early in your trip, you can experience the rest of your journey with more confidence you'll arrive as expected. It's not so much that you have more options closer to home, it's that less of your trip is in the uncertainty zone.

I've been thinking for the past few years about how to get a scenario like 'git clone' of a large repo to go fast. One thought is to memory map the destination files being written by git and then copy/unzip the data there. You'd save a copy versus the staging buffer that you'd currently be passing to write(). However, the overhead of managing the tlb shootdowns would likely be fatal except for the largest output files.

Nah, I'm not working class and neither is my wife. We're professional children of professionals, but neither went to an Ivy. Both good athletes, but DIII not DI.
Neither of my 2 kids, both with honestly ridiculously good grades (one had perfect ACT too) and what I thought were decent extracurriculars (all-state bands, scholastic divisional all-stars) got into even what I once considered second rate schools (Tufts, Bowdoin, Carnegie-Mellon, etc)
Now, we didn't do any of the paid college admissions stuff, first because I still can't believe a valedictorian with a perfect ACT should need anything more to get into Brown, let alone BU, and secondly because I'm philosophically opposed to the whole "top college" thing anyway

Let's be honest, they're kicking ass at the schools they got into, and to paraphrase an old expression, they already started life on second base, they'll be fine regardless

But the happy path is irrelevant. If everything worked all the time, then it would work - the question of whether something is good is how it does when that's not the case.

Passkeys have a lot of questions in that regard. A password is simple: "keep this secret and only give it to the person it's for". You can read it, you can write it down, the rules of how it is distributed are obvious if not secure.

Passkeys on the other hand are already not being explained: "keep this secret. Then, your device will magically use it somewhere else. But actually we keep it in the secure element, Also sometimes you can't move it to other devices. Also sometimes the part we send won't work if we send it to the wrong person, or if it's intercepted..."

Of these, the part I really worry about is the synchronization one: everything about passkeys is being structured for corporate lock in. Because the ability to manage them like passwords is not front and center, it's being treated as an after thought. "We'll handle synchronization eventually or "oh, well it'll be on your other iCloud-connected devices..."

If I want to take an offline backup? If I want to write something down or print something out to cram that passkey onto another device, can I? Or is there an additional factor there which is empowering the service to decide if I'm allowed to do that?
