Rust needs a prototyping/scripting/application language on top of it, with 80% of the speed and 99% of the safety, with automatic memory management (reference counting or GC) and at least one idiomatic way of doing concurrency that disallows sharing mutable state. A language that is tailor-made for building applications quickly on top of the Rust ecosystem, with a build tool that gracefully handles mixed projects if you need to build part of your application in Rust, and support for writing small shebang scripts.

Heuristics are about optimizing between false positives and false negatives.

Many headless-browser stealth techniques involve rotating between the signatures and reflected metrics of real — but niche and/or ancient — User-Agents. (For some reason, the developers of these stealth systems think that variety beats commonality. Maybe it makes sense if they're specifically trying to overcome Apache mod_security's signature-based UA blocking or something.)

It turns out that when you actually see one of these UAs in your server logs, it's far more (99.99%) likely to be a stealthed bot that picked that UA out of a bag, than it is to be an actual niche/ancient UA.

In the case of the niche UAs, this is a tragedy of the commons.

In the case of the ancient UAs, though, there's no downside to blocking them entirely — because if the traffic is going through Cloudflare at all, then you're already requiring of the client a minimum version of TLS that the real old UAs can't even speak. So the only things actually saying they're that old device — but managing to get through an HTTP request at all — are stealthed bots.

It sure would; but if you can't call out literal white supremacist talking points then that's gonna be pretty hard to do.

I didn't do that, so I don't know why you're bringing it up. There are literal racists toxicing up this thread, deliberately, so it's weird you'd focus your debate on the people adding the context which "has opened almost every single conversation about race in America for the last 10-30 years" yet is still somehow necessary to say.

There's one of Tolkien's notes that implies that elves could and would die in preference to being raped:

> But among all these evils there is no record of any among the Elves that took another's spouse by force; for this was wholly against their nature, and one so forced would have rejected bodily life and passed to Mandos.

So I think this raises some doubts about whether Tolkien intended to imply rape in Celebrian's case rather than some other evil.

Yes, and this has already been happening. For example, Venmo used to have a fully-functional web app, but now you can't send/receive money on it. Many Chase features are also phone-only.

Edit: And a lot of these apps block jailbroken iPhones or rooted Androids if they can detect that.

> Is the etymology really needed in this case to know how to pronounce "c"?

No. You learn it through osmosis by being immersed in the culture. We all learn to pronounce face, celery, coupe, etc from our parents, school, media, etc. Etymology only comes into play if you want to know why we pronounce it that way.

> I believe in -ce- -ci- -cy- the c is an s, while in -ca- -co- -cu- the c is a k.

That probably works most of the time since I believe that's the rule the french use and so much of our vocabulary came from the french. But there are exceptions as others have noted. 'Boston Celtics' is pronounced with a soft c, while the 'celtic people', is pronounced with a hard c. As far as I know it's cultural. There isn't a rule which will help you out here other than you simply have to know it.
The "your parents" are only harmed if the public benefit from taxes don't offset the benefit that is received directly in the funding of the 401k or other relevant investment accounts.

In America anyway, the wealthiest 1% own 53% of the stock market. I highly doubt that the "your parents" would benefit more from funding of their investment accounts than they would benefit from the tax revenue generated. Of course my assumption is highly dependent on public policy.

Hm, a user walking the structure is a bit interesting to think about in the computational sense. The user is the CPU, but what "power" of thinking is needed to solve the maze?

For reference, theory of computation (as I recall) divides problems into state machines/regexs (see: YOU CANNOT PARSE HTML WITH REGULAR EXPRESSIONS), stack machines, and finally full turing machines.

A labyrinth is a series of steps executed serially with no branches or jumps or loops, and is guaranteed to terminate. It is the lowest/simplest form of computation. It is an MBA/executive-level state machine of the simplest order.

Almost every maze I've ever seen is just branching that, if you have a stack for memory, will terminate. Mazes are probably technically solvable with state machines, although I wonder for the traversal if you need a stack for remembering the directions you already traveled. A stack machine in computation implies a sequence of input that is processed and you have knowledge of where you are in the state machine, but a true maze participant (as evidenced by the thread innovation) DOESN'T have knowledge of the state machine node they are in. So a maze might actually be a stack machine problem, since you need the thread.

Each branch in the maze is a "push" decision, and when the thread is retraced from a dead end, you "pop" back to the node. So it might be a stack machine problem.

If the maze has loops (that's REALLY mean), it implies a turing machine... although I guess a thread-as-stack could navigate that too. Maybe all mazes are stack machine problems. But if I squint, a maze with loops implies undecidability.

So why am I reducing the fine philosophical waxing in such a cold mathematical manner.... I guess I'm trying to imply that the states of life the article says the types mirror (labyrinth is the blind determination of youth without the complications of complex life, maze is the complicated existence of real life with so many dizzying options but more like post-college where you are discovering the world, maze WITH LOOPS is the dangerous addiction/mental illness/ weaknesses that is where people get truly lost.
So, my impression is you’d lose replaceable memory, and the total practical memory would be lower than the maximum practical RAM + VRAM in situation with a CPU with (LP)DDR and a dGPU with GDDR, but intuitively it seems like you’d get better performance than with an iGPU otherwise and still save on cost/performance (though cap performance lower) than a CPU + dGPU setup for lots of use cases.
Not really.

IPv6 doesn't allow you to easily get a new completely random address. You get a subnet allocated by your ISP, and you can use any address within that subnet. Rather than blocking a single IPv6 address, a service like Cloudflare can just block the entire IPv6 subnet prefix and get the same result as blocking an IPv4 address.
Karl Guttag is awesome, but he is not a "product guy". The ultimate test will be if the market adopts it. All of our technology goes through cycles of higher quality and "worse is better" periods.

I get the flex. But for the kind of application I'm building professionally, updating thousands of rows is hardly a concern. I spend most of my time thinking about state and data lifecycle.

It has been a while since a framework actually slowed me down enough for me or my users to notice.
On the early internet, it was all personal sites.

But we had attempts at journalism and tons of interactive content on those sites.

When there was no social media, people learned HTML to communicate, and we got all the variety of the early web.

Now people make sites because they like coding, and use them to communicate about coding. Or they use social media and comment on random drama.

The internet eats it's own refuse like AI does. Without real life stuff to talk about it's pretty terrible. Video games were the main interesting internet native subject, aside from tech itself in the pure sense, but gaming culture has become almost a 4chan offshoot, less interesting to everyone else, while the games themselves are full of DLC.

Modern computers are fast enough for bloated sites. I don't think the issue is tech(unless you're really unhappy with the privacy situation). It's that all the content is made by people who spend all day on the internet, and it's all about tech.

And tech is just going in circles. With less real world connection, everyone just wants to be better at writing code, to try new languages, etc. It's philosophy as much as real tech, or maybe like some modern cyberpunk version of meditation, they're all just seeking simplicity, and it doesn't make much sense to people who didn't join the scene because they loved elegant ideas.

It's like reading 10 biographies and writing about them and your experience reading them, vs the old Internet where you went and did stuff and wrote about your life.
That's such a bad analogy. Unions are only really brought up when people are being mistreated, underpaid, overworked, etc. People don't unionize when their needs are met (even if they should).

Your analogy doesn't work even if you also include the fact that the husband has been abusing his wife as much as possible without getting caught. What they are doing is making an active effort to make sure the wife can't get to an attorney at all.

I truly don't understand how so many can side with this abstract concept of a profit-seeking machine over human needs.

Your poorly drawn signature.
You calculated gross. You should calculate net. It's a non-zero cost to have a tenant. For demonstration purposes, if it costs $2700/month then the difference is $1,070 in profit vs. $3,153 over 5 years, corresponding to about 2.5 years.

If the market rate increases by 10%/year than if you wait a year you can charge an additional 8% over having a tenant.
It's seems people have forgotten what the banks did in 2007 and before.

It's wild to imagine complaining about them being taxed but few complained about bails out from tax payers.
This complaint is interesting to me because in the last few years I've noticed street names have become more and more abundant. For example, I am looking at the 100ft zoom level (what my scale shows in the bottom right) and this street which is 2000 ft long is labeled 9 times. For major rivers there's always a label on screen. This didn't used to be the case for me. I used to have to really work to find labels but now it's very good.

> The performance is superior and that will drive adoption

This has never been true. Nobody adopts React in 2023 because it's the fastest (as in performance) option. Other frameworks have been far faster for the better part of a decade. Why would shaving a handful of milliseconds here and there change the game now?

People choose React because you could have gone from 0.15 to 18.0 with maybe a week of effort, often less. It has escape hatches where they're needed. Almost every tool you could need works with React. There's essentially nothing that you can't accomplish with React as the foundation. Nobody has gotten fired for choosing React.
Sort of. Distributing the profits to bank shareholders doesn't help inflation.

> Do you mean unsigned branches? JB/JBE/JA/JAE instead of JL/JLE/JG/JGE?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for speaking more clearly.

> Are there actually code patterns where it's preferable to just JE/JNE?

That's a good point, and sidesteps the issue of pointer signedness.

I think sometimes JE / JNE isn't enough. For example, if you want to process a buffer in reverse order using pointer arithmetic:

/* p starts off one past the end of the buffer */
char *p = buffer + bufsize;
while (--p >= buffer) {
/* ... */
}

I'm not sure if this would technically be undefined behavior, though, as the C standard only explicitly permits computing a pointer one past the end of the array, and other out-of-bounds computations are undefined, IIRC.
In practice, I don't think any compiler would miscompile this.
A lot of people are pointing out Arnold as your example, but fail to mention he first won the Mr Olympia more than 50 years ago! Our understanding of exercise and nutrition has improved since those times. You no longer have to be an outlier in genetics or dedication to achieve good results.

I'm far from a genetic outlier, but I go to the gym for 3-4 60-90 minute sessions a week. My program is efficient, I don't take steroids, and my nutrition is decent (but not great). I'm 5'10" and 202 pounds (29 BMI).

I find it disingenuous that people use the top performers as an excuse. There is a middle ground where a modest investment will reap significant returns.

If maintaining the healthy function of my body is skewing my BMI as to be useless, then perhaps BMI is a poor metric.

> A handful of companies have established chokepoints between buyers and sellers, performers and audiences, workers and employers, as well as families and communities. When those companies refuse to deal with you, your digital life grinds to a halt

This short paragraph summarizes the (ex-ante) improbably unusual situation we have drifted into.

The negatively affected stakeholders being enumerated are more or less the entire society.

These gatekeepers and chokepoint operators do have a few natural allies (the captured politicos, others in direct or indirect payroll, externality-blind markets). Yet somehow they can bully into submission basically the entire universe. With its infinite financial, political, intellectual resources.

Rather strange dont you think? It almost as if they already operate effective mind control at systemic scale.
I suspect that you're right.
Yes do! I think too many different things have been lumped together in "the fall of the iron curtain". Every country of the "Warsaw Pact" (NATO speak) was in a different state with different problems, e.G. Poland had a strong opposition with the Solidarność movement, the GDR had some opposition with a environmental movement (which later became the freedom movement) (I don't know about Bulgaria and Hungary etc).

What unified them was the threat of the Soviet Union to intervene on behalf of their governments if there would be danger to the state.

When that threat broke away with Gorbachev, the states collapsed at the same time in different ways (e.G. Ceaușescu was killed, Honecker went into exile) and for different reasons (although the overall driving force for more wealth and freedom was the same).
It reduces control of my computer because without it my computer can identify itself to websites and advertisers in the way that I want, but with it, it can only use its TPM assigned identity. You can argue (I'd disagree) that it's a good thing that I can't make my computer spoof as something else, but unquestionably it does reduce my control.

>You can only get keys to put in your device to do the attestation from Google, who then imposes restrictions on what your device can do.

The Play integrity API is not part of AOSP. Remote attestation does restrict your device from doing anything. A new attestation API can be made if you want to offer remote attestation to apps.

>There are no examples of this working.

Amazon successfully did it.

>It's also clearly unavailable to Mozilla or Debian or anyone else without an existing monopoly to extract rents from in order to operate at a loss for an extended period of time.

It just means that it will take longer if a there is trouble in finding investors. The standard 30% cut can be used to make it sustainable to support the operating system and fund getting apps into the store.

>they'll hit lots of their own customers and make it hard for apps to rely on the attestation, which is great.

It isn't great because it sets back the security of the industry back a couple years each time an exploit allowing this is found.
Hence why most should avoid floating point, yes.

Many people approach them as "oh, they're decimals" when they absolutely are not... but there are no convenient alternatives in most languages. So people use the convenient one that they see 99% of other code using, rather than something that is more likely to fit their expectations.

That's the problem. People are surrounded by screws and hammers and they understandably choose to hammer in the screws rather than 1) knowing a screwdriver exists, and 2) hunting down the few three-handed screwdrivers in existence and trying to use them.
