Nope, I'm not even talking about subversion or CVS (although, I certainly prefer git to those, and it's a fun discussion).

I am talking about patched-together workflows developed at regulatory agencies, law offices and the like; collaborative editing of... non-code "information".

People who are doing "version control" but don't know that they are doing version control. They are editing documents in parallel. They are changing documents and recording the changes with a paper trail and diffs. They are working on separate parts of the same document in parallel, and managing the conflicts that appear in those documents when they are rev'd. They are sending their changes to someone else to have them reviewed before they are rev'd. Version control.

Their workflows and their tools are positively prehistoric compared to what is being discussed here.

This reads like dribble written by AI.
A magnetic levitation demo indicates a possible Meissner effect (which is refuted here by this paper), and this is so much easier than a resistance measurement, which is a delicate task and susceptible to experimental errors. So levitation is used as a quick "first check", especially when you don't have a full lab setup to do other tests, which are much more complicated (in addition to a levitation test or a resistance measurement, one can also measure its frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility curve, temperature-dependent specific heat curve, or its Josephson effect).

One cannot measure superconductivity with an ordinary ohmmeter. Electrodes, wires and the ohmmeter itself are resistive, the meter can never show zero ohms. You need to set an experiment up with a current source and a voltmeter to measure the IV curve across the material [1]. Even then, the voltmeter will never show "zero" volt because of noise, which needs to be minimized in the experiment and removed during post-processing. In this case, sample preparation is also problematic as the synthesized material is not uniform. And your measurement is also expected to be temperature-dependent to show the material's transition to a superconductor. It's more involved than seeing it floating on a magnet, to say the least.

[1] It's basically the same 4-wire Kelvin sensing used by all milli-ohmmeters. But to characterize superconductivity, you need to do even better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

> with more statistical significance

You can't take a dozen lousy studies and put them together to get better statistical significance than a single well-designed study. If the methodology of a study is bad, the results have to be scrapped entirely, and peer review is supposed to be the process through which we filter out bad methodology.

Without peer review we don't know which studies to eliminate from our informal meta-analysis, which means we can't come to any conclusions about the data.

Lack of consumer choice
It is our belief that when it comes to storing crypto, there are 2 types of users:
(1) Those who hold custody of their own funds.
(2) Those who have other organizations or individuals hold custody of their funds.
Most centralized exchanges cater to type (2) while we aim to cater to both (1) & (2).
Lack of product + weak reputation
Many new crypto projects are stuck in the "idea" phase and fail to execute because they rely on funding, without having built anything. According to this study of 111 failed start-ups', the number one reason for failure was "Ran out of cash/failed to raise new capital".
No security teams
Many exchanges don't employ security personnel and lack cyber security leadership within the organization. Without a strict security framework which enables secure coding standards, audits and penetration tests, exchanges are vulnerable to being attacked.
High barriers to entry
Rather than have multiple levels trust, starting at none (trustless) and increasing them as dollar amounts increase, currently centralized exchanges have a strict minimum requirement for users to be able to exchange. Why can't there be both a trustless exchange and a trustful exchange?
Yeah, it kind of makes you think that maybe some sort of cancer blob is the default state of cells and that everything that goes into making a collection of cells into a particular species is what's holding cancer back.

IBM System/360 is still going strong after 60 years, with extensions not replacement. Only the 24 bit memory addresses were short-sighted. Motorola 68000 and ARM made the same mistake, 15 and 20 years later. Let's not even mention x86 memory addressing.

RISC-V has that covered with 64 bit from the outset, and 128 bit addressing included in the planning.

The basic RISC idea of separating load/store from arithmetic has stood the test of time for 60 years too, since 1964's CDC6600, the first supercomputer, and the fastest one for the rest of that decade. The Cray 1 in 1975 is also very much a RISC computer on the scalar side (plus vectors very similar to modern RISC-V V extension).

Both of those machines had two instruction lengths just like current RISC-V: 15 and 30 bits on the CDC6600 and 16 and 32 bits on the Cray 1. RISC-V has had plans for future longer instructions, if necessary, from the outset.

IBM 360 is actually very similar, with the same 2 bits in every instruction specifying whether the instruction is 16, 32, or 48 bits long.

This makes very wide instruction decode simple -- 8 wide, 16 wide, even 32 wide if that is ever practical. Not quite as simple as doing the same thing on a completely fixed length ISA such as Aarch, but simple enough to not be a problem. Unlike x86.

What else might want to change? More registers? That is easily handled with the planned-for 48 bit or 64 bit instruction formats. The long instructions can address all 64 or 256 or 1024 registers, while the 32 bit instructions can use only 32 of them, and the 16 bit instruction can use (mostly) only 8 of them. Or x86-style REX prefixes could be used. That works, but is worse for wide instruction decode unless the prefix itself indicates the full instruction length.
Northern Europe maybe. But A/C is pretty common in the Mediterranean. The only difference is that central A/C is correctly seem as something that makes sense in comercial spaces, not homes.

At homes what is more common are ductless split systems, combined with an architecture where you have windows that can be opened when the weather is not that hot.

It is completely idiotic to cool a whole McMansion when the 3 or 4 people inside are occupying no more than 30% of the space most of the time.
If you deeply understand git, I recommend keeping that to yourself, unless you want to be named in git.txt.

Even in the noncommercial world, Hurd's gone precisely nowhere. RedoxOS is a toy and had a GUI within a year or so. Brutal got in within two. SerenityOS not only built a GUI but the beginnings of the first greenfield web browser to gain any semblance of modern standards support in the past several decades.

Honestly, what's Hurd doing wrong to flounder so hard?

Again, how is the state of it not happening better than the state of it happening inequitably?

Again, why would you call it 'screwing' someone to offer an opportunity they can decline, that is a net improvement but not the greatest thing you could possibly offer? Per the first section of that article, what kind of sense does it make to assign blame for someone's negative situation to the first person to try to help them?

My impression is that bronze production was heavily reliant on long trade-routes because although copper could be found all over the place, tin was only found in a few places. There is also arsenic bronze, arsenic often being coincident with copper with is convenient for making bronze without extensive trade routes, but regardless my impression is that Bronze Age and trade routes go hand-in-hand.

For me, the dagger is most impressive because it would have required extraordinary craftmanship to pull off; meteoric iron is much trickier to work than normal iron, particularly if you can't get it up to welding temperatures. From what I've seen in videos of people today trying to work with it, it has a tendency to split apart and crumble when hammered, so smaller pieces are much easier to produce than large pieces. And for an ironworker to be experienced enough to create that dagger, suggests there were a lot more meteoric iron artifacts being made. It was probably an artisan's masterpiece, but there must have been many more works that preceded it.
> Americans need to be deprogrammed out of this belief that owning a home is supposed to yield a return

I think you have the cause and effect reversed. They believe a home yields a return because it does. They aren't delusional or stupid - they're making money. There's nothing to "deprogram".

Maybe dive one layer deeper and ask why investing in houses has been better than investing in stocks or bonds/CDs.

> but still the overall coordination seems so much more purposeful than something that would happen with a few initial mutations and then some further selection.

Isn't this just selection bias on a grand scale? You're looking at a specimen where the parts happened to end up arranged in a way that allows it to exhibit these properties that seem like coordination, while not paying much attention to the quintillions of specimens that did not.

The complaints are the inconsistency of the interface. E.g. `git branch`

Surely “git branch” is “the abstractions”?
The BAA (https://explore.zoom.us/docs/en-us/baa.html) looks the same. Did you mean to the TOS (which is subject to change as has now happened twice)?

The BAA still states: Zoom shall not Use and/or Disclose the Protected Health Information except as otherwise limited in this Agreement ... for the proper management and administration of Zoom ... Zoom will only use the minimum necessary Protected Health information necessary for the proper management and administration of Zoom’s business specific purposes

As discussed in my comments on yesterday's post "proper management and administration" is vague language copied from HHS and can be construed as improving products as described in a legal analysis I quoted. I would also hazard a guess that a provider signing this agreement could be construed to have implied consent.

Nevertheless, it would not be hard to explicitly state that this does not include training models in the only truly legally binding agreement at play. An explicit declaration was also recommended in said legal analysis.
Housing wouldn't be expensive if you could teleport anywhere instantaneously. No matter how hard homeowners wanted to keep prices high. I see some much cheaper more luxurious homes listed in less dense cities than mine. I suspect we've finally begun to exhaust the available land within a reasonable commute from the top populated cities that was opened up after creating the interstates. If we found a way to reliably go twice as fast out of the city in many directions we'd open up four times as much land. I'd bet everything house prices would hardly rise for many years.

The graph is really not append-only.
Tiresome. Left-wingers will continue to make up wilder and wilder economic conspiracy theories to explain away the "so-called housing crisis" because the obvious solution -- building more homes for more people -- admits the possibility that someone might make money building homes and selling them, which they find ideologically distasteful.

"Building more homes won't solve the housing crisis, because [ landlords, immigrants, greedy developers ] will buy them all up!" is a popular rallying cry against even attempting to build more homes. But a more honest statement of their complaint, "building more homes won't solve the housing crisis in its entirety without additional measures to help the most vulnerable" would admit that building more homes is absolutely part of the solution, not part of the problem.
16 bits is where you added data width here, so that would be 52 gigabits a second, no? To go to bytes wouldn't we need to divide by 8?

And I imagine this commenter talking about 8GB RAM, they're assuming not all 4 channels are populated. So one could imagine two channels being populated, 25.6 Gbit/sec, divide by 8 to get bytes, that's then only 3.2GB/s?
I've never been to London, nor will I, but I once sent my spouse off for a look-see and she came back with the usual Trafalgar and pigeon snaps, a can of Nukie, a copy of 'Viz' and a 'Parklife' CD.

Exactly. Almost every thread has this query. And surprisingly its always on the top.
C# is required for the UI programming, though. I don’t know any F# module, which interacts and manipulates UI elements. Yes, creating a web UI is possible, but not for the desktop.

Yea, I feel like these people never got a chron daily data dump (times N customers). Scaling is dead simple, and there isn't a need (or ability) to instantaneously handle large bursty workloads in like 99% of cases.

Longer SLAs mean it's also easier to hit those SLAs. Giving the clients realistic SLAs is super important.
> or unless someone local can manufacture them to the correct specs

This will likely happen except for the correct specs part. Sure, it will be manufactured to fit, but it likely won’t be able to be made to the same standard as the official Boeing part.

The impact of this could be absolutely nothing, or maybe Aeroflot planes just end up on runway excursions more often. It could also lead to catastrophic failure and separation of the landing gear bogie causing all sorts of additional trouble.
Well I'm talking in the context of the NE, I'm well aware that the routes are sparse elsewhere. Amtrak is very good for DC to NYC but most Americans wouldn't give it a chance even in this context.

To be fair, I remember "desktop Linux" when I got my cr-48 and Linux has come a long way since then.

I think you're being a bit cheeky but I see the ChromeOS devs as pretty pragmatic. They shipped functional Linux and built a lot to make it work. And seem smartly open to re-using standard Linux bits where possible. For example, this move, or them adopting Wayland for their own presentation layer now that is mature enough, etc.
TextFX - AI-powered tools for rappers, writers and wordsmiths
Very strong feeling of deja vu: I read this in the early 1980s, uplifting my career from a Pascal based university course (York) to life as a systems programmer in networking using v7 on pdp11, and 4.1BSD on Vaxes and subsequently 4.2

re-reading it, I suggest he made one strong statement I'd say more weakly: saying there is no type cast/overloading but there is of a (bad) kind: you can use union types (variant records) to do this, if the compiler will let you. Deeply painful, and completely stupid, but you can coerce your code to treat memory regions as different 'types' of thing in some ways. I guess the pain of alignment and knowing how your compiler dealt with variant types would get in the way here.

Ironic for pascal fans how he notes all but one of the systems for pascal was written in C. I can't think of a better advert for C as a systems programming language.

Software tools was great. I struggled a bit with the Ratfor thing, but in the end, learned a lot reading it.

The industrialist supported the Nazis, Fascists etc getting into power. That was certainly not the case in Russia or China. Saying that industrialists supported the regime in the Soviet Union is also a bit rich, considering that they essentially did not exist.

So what is a correct definition of fascism in your opinion? Are you contesting that the Nazis in Germany, Mussolini in Italy or Franco in Spain were Facists? The whole point the previous poster made was essentially all of these got into power with significant support by the ruling economic powers.
