I am sure that new designs would be better on paper. I am also sure that a regulatory regime in which nuclear plants are allowed to be exactly as unsafe as fossil fuel power plants would somehow turn out in the real world of money and politics to actually be worse than fossil fuel plants.

I don't think we as humans know how to create a regulatory structure for nuclear that would keep away people who are willing to sacrifice principles for money, and at the same time allows new designs to easily be built.
This was specifically focusing on privilege separation---we don't provide any protection against timing or other side channels, though this work could be combined with existing work around constant-time crypto, etc to get some assurance about side channels.

No specific thought about firmware updates. In the brainstorming phase we were thinking about a multi-application model indeed---something like the Ledger Nano but using Wasm for isolation between applications instead of their OS. For this project we decided to try out the privilege separation angle, but I think the multi-application idea would be interesting to explore too.
Over the years I've also watched CGI progress and been amazed by the steps there -- the joy of seeing yet another complex part of reality rendered was a constant.

These days, though...every new technique developed to simulate and replicate human creativity and behaviors builds on a constant sense of unease.

> 14. MUSIC BOX

> LOGO has primitives which supply output for the music box. A LOGO user can specify parts for up to 4 simultaneous voices, each voice having a range of five chromatic octaves. In order to avoid timing problems the music is compiled into temporary storage and then output to the box at a constant rate, rather than played in "real time".

> The music system has been designed with specific uses in mind. (See, e.g., the papers of Jeanne Bamberger.)

Following this name, I found:

> Bamberger was appointed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1970 to 2001, where she taught in the Music and Theater Arts Section. At MIT, she attended a day-long seminar in April 1970 organized by Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert, then co-directors of MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Lab, on "Teaching Children Thinking".

> Learning about Papert's development of Logo and Minsky’s digital music box, Bamberger was inspired to embark on a career combining music, computers, developmental psychology, and education to change how music was taught.

Long ago, when OS/2 came out, a friend relayed to me that "You can't write programs in assembler for OS/2, they have to be written in C".

In defiance of that statement, I built Forth/2.[1] It was a direct threaded, native code Forth Compiler for OS/2 written in assembler. Brian Matthewson wrote an amazing manual for it, and it found a few dozen users.

Even Discord is a problem for me.

Its a great app for shooting the breeze with strangers (or real friends), but its an absolute nightmare as a forum, information repository, support board, subreddit replacement, media hub and such.

I've seen this argument before and thought it strange at first as in my experience road rage is everyday experience for me as a pedestrian. Then I realized that it depends on how much space is actually shared between cyclists and others. In Dutch cities bikes have their own space and it's not as common as here where bikes have to share the space with pedestrians. And with old ladies and their dogs. And with young people with baby strollers.
By this argument why does anything cost money? I need shelter if I am to contribute to society. It should be free!

My own healthcare is extremely valuable to me and I should be allowed to spend money on that. Someone else may decide they'd rather have a new pair of sneakers. Who am I to say they're wrong, that they are not permitted to allocate their capital in this way?

> DCE/RPC is basis for DCOM as well.

I wonder how interoperable DCE/RPC and MS-RPC are though?

I mean, if I have a DCE implementation (for example IBM Encina), can I successfully talk to it using the MS-RPC client and server libraries bundled with Windows?
TinyGo is for embedded devices and wasm runtimes, not a general compiler.
It cannot compile large chunks of the standard library, even essential pieces like crypto/tls, net/http, net/smtp, os/user etc.

I only allow a few apps to present notifications on my phone so when one appears, it’s because I want it. I may decide to snooze it but I never just ignore it as a routine event.

Most apps have too many events to be worth notifications. Looking at you Slack. Those are better handled by a periodic polling rather than push notifications.

I will take this opportunity to ask if someone can explain how Rebol/Red scoping works? I have read all the Bindology, etc. stuff and it's still not clear; I suspect it would be much easier to understand if someone could explain it in terms of how one would implement it in a interpreter (just like Dynamic scoping makes much more sense when explained that way).
Helps to build what exactly? Airbnb, which makes housing less affordable? When has VC created something that approximates a public good, such as a hospital?
I suspect it is related though - CORBA is a zombie technology, so a lot of the code related to it is old and crusty, predates contemporary best practices, etc - and all that could be fixed, but its status as a dying technology means almost nobody has the motivation to spend the effort to fix those issues (anyone hit by them is likely going to decide that time and money is better spent replacing CORBA than improving their CORBA implementation), and as a result many of those issues will likely never get fixed

I don’t understand this, I have tried it but the willpower trick doesn’t work on me. If I want to do the task I’ll do it and if I want a coffee I’ll get a coffee. Denying myself the coffee when I don’t want to do the task just makes me less caffeinated while I procrastinate and takes almost the same discipline as just doing the task. I have to reason the ”lizard brain” into at least being neutral or ambivalent about doing the task.
Having driven these quite a bit, I think its important to understand that while they're not particularly safe, they don't _feel_ particularly safe. 25mph feels incredibly fast, sort of like riding a bike. I think it's far easier to drive 75mph in a small sedan and have a close call with a large truck, and not recognize the danger. I think this added caution likely mitigates lack of safety features at least somewhat.

i love lazyvim, as someone who is productive with vim movements and keyboard macros, but has zero interest in learning every inch of the vim plugin ecosystem and writing the corresponding lua to configure it.

In fact, I've found it easier to learn the ecosystem of what is going on and feel more comfortable customising it, now that I have a solid base of customisation to build upon.

I just wish the documentation included more commentary on what each plugin does and why it is available - having to click through on each one is a bit annoying.

Side issue but this is why arguments against wind turbines "because they kill birds" are never spoken in good faith.

Yes, wind turbines kill birds.

Collisions with vehicles kill 1000 times more birds than wind turbines do.

Collisions with glass buildings kill 3 times more still.

And cats kill 4 times more still [0].

Wind turbine bird deaths are deep in the noise as sources of bird deaths. Yes, we should keep trying to reduce that number further. But if we really care about saving birds we have a lot more dirty laundry than wind turbines.

More taxes can only do so much if that was what you were implying. Middle class families can barely support themselves now let alone subsidize the little income they have left. Case in point, in the US for a family to have the same economic power as families in the past; they must make $240,000 - $300,000 depending on the metro
Nah. The concept of verifying that the mkdir's worked is sound and also easy to do. They just need doing individually in the script, as doing both in the same spot would muck up the wildcard a bit later on.

Using variable names better ($OLD, $NEW) is a good idea too. Should cut down any potential typo risk as well. :)

90% of tech companies have 0 tech leadership.

It's good to trust your people. You want to foster independence among teams, can do spirit. But most orgs seem totally out of touch with the tech. Too many companies use only business success to discriminate on. And that's just too random, too chaotic to let the work be judged on, to decide how next to operate. There's too much decision making about where to go that needs a deeper level of consideration.

Would you be able and willing to provide a bit more supporting evidence for this statement? We’ve been considering trialing guidance for a few weeks but won’t bother if it’s going nowhere.
I do generally follow a keto diet, but I also try to stay clear of actual ketosis. Ketosis is extremely dangerous for diabetics. And I would never discontinue or reduce medication for diabetes without guidance or instructions from my Endocrinologist.

I do firmly believe that the best medicine is eating the right food, but there comes a point where eating the right food isn't enough. And you have to be very careful when substituting food for medicine.
It's listed as an inactive ingredient, so presumably it's just bulking up or binding together the pill in some way. Talc is approved as a food additive in the US and EU, it's probably fine. Considering the high profile nature of the baby powder lawsuit, I'd eat my boots if there aren't people examining other talc products looking for a new lawsuit opportunity. Besides, it's bound up in a pill instead of in a loose fine powder, so you're not likely to inhale it.
Yep, just like other "religions", alternative medicine is protected in the US and allowed to operate with near-impunity. The US loves religious freedom, and extends that to almost anything that resembles a religion.

This has worked well for me. It’s a bit like a daily backlog. It forces me to consider what is currently important.
That is a specific hostname and is in essence a "server" (though the existence of irc.efnet.net is special in that it is a DNS load balancer address that selects a random server) and isn't EFNet; the concept of "EFNet", in contrast, is being called a "chatnet" in that configuration file, not a server. You might have multiple servers configured for the same network, and irssi will attempt to round-robin the connection between them if they fail. If you want a list of networks in irssi, you use /network list; if you want a list of servers you use /server list.

FWIW, IRC barely exists anymore. To the extent to which to does it has been massively simplified. It used to be that there were massive collections of servers for most networks run by tons of different people, and often if you ran an isolated server for a single-server network people would show up ply you to add their server to your network. I can see how someone who only casually uses IRC and only semi-recently (in the past decade or two) might be left with a really limited or even confused understanding of the lingo.

So like, sometimes networks did have these DNS round-robin load balancer addresses, and I could see someone getting confused by that for a bit. But, they weren't used all that often other than as a server discover mechanism, because--for a number of reasons I will list a few of--it mattered greatly what server you were actually on... enough so that, if you were to actually to use IRC much at all, it would become very very clear that a network and a server are not somehow interchangeable terms.

1) The Internet itself and the software we were using was flakey enough that you would routinely encounter a "netsplit", wherein people who were on one half of the network could still talk to each other but people on the other would see you all disconnect.

(This was also used by people to try to attack and take over channels by denial of service attacking specific servers in the network as the behavior of re-merging channels often gave you moments where you could take chanops.)

2) The latency across the Internet was sometimes higher--particularly if you had to do multiple hops to get to the right server the user was on--and so people who were on the same server as each other had a lot better experience talking to each other.

3) The channel namespace using # was global to the network but many networks supported server-local channels that were prefixed with ##. If you were on a different server you would thereby not be able to see the same server-local channels.

Nowadays, you wouldn't bother with most of this as, administratively, this is madness. The usual server-to-server protocol forms a DAG and so it doesn't actually provide any form of redundancy: your network feels about as stable as the least stable server (weighted by how close it is to the center of the graph). You also don't need lots of servers to try to distribute the connection load, and the core Internet latency isn't a big deal anymore.
I'm not saying it's dangerous; I'm saying it's ironic that the obviously-talc-containing products were quickly obliterated and replaced by corn starch, while alli® (and perhaps others) get by, because even cardiologists can't figure out that they contain talc.
Strange generalization. There are many people who want exactly something like this. LazyVim has a very active community on GitHub and YouTube and many people use it daily. The same goes for other distros like LunarVim.

Why would you buy a computer over the phone? I got a Dell a couple years ago and it was easy: I just went to the website, selected the model and options I wanted, put in my credit card number, placed the order, and a few days later got what I ordered in a box. I didn't order any extended warranty so I didn't get charged for one.

To extend this, why would you do anything over the phone if you can just do it through a website? Talking to humans is always going to cause errors and inefficiency; just getting the person to get your name spelled right is a challenge.
Probably doesn’t help that it seems like nutrition research does 180s every so often on pretty much every reported “finding.” That has probably as much to do with the hype surrounding actual research though, so I don’t necessarily blame the researchers.

If you reversed the vehicles the outcome would be the same. The size differential has to be massive for it to matter. Modern safety requirements are stringent and you wouldn't believe how much a small sedan can take in a crash.

The most important safety feature in a vehicle is performance, and SUVs (especially mid and full size) are outright worse, regardless of what your average American thinks.
