> In the long run, unsafe programming languages will not be used by mainstream developers, but rather reserved for situations where high performance and a low resource footprint are critical.

I see no world where so-called "unsafe" languages would not be used. Most graduates of Computer Science programs can, perhaps with some trouble, implement a half decent C compiler in a weekend or two. This is not a footnote. This fact alone means that for any given piece of hardware you're more likely to find a random C compiler you can use than anything else. Rust, being the most likely contender to replace it, still cannot self-host and the grammar is exponentially more complicated than C. It is more like C + <whatever> will co-exist peacefully than something like C being replaced (even ignoring the millions of lines of code that already exist). Not for performance reasons but more that you can churn out a C compiler quickly for almost anything given a spec of the hardware.

On topic, I find a desk reference for this is very useful. The CERT C standard is pretty good to thumb through even if you don't adhere to every suggestion.
This is very similar to my experience.

I didn’t fully eliminate caffeine, but stopped drinking it after 9AM and reduced my intake by about 50%. I’d suffered from insomnia for years, and underestimated the impact of midday coffee.

I’ve also started going up to my building’s roof or taking morning walks to get sunlight. This works even on cloudy days (increase the time outside to more like 30 mins), and it does seem to help.

I’ve also started a no-screens wind down period about 1.5 hours before bed. This was a tough change too, but I’ve replaced it with books or spending some time at the piano.

I looked at sleep as a frustrating necessity that mostly got in my way. Starting to treat it more like an important ritual has been really helpful. This didn’t come naturally, and it took some time to shift to this mindset.
Did wsj wisen up to our archive.today trick?
Possibly. I'm not defending LG, even though I have both this monitor and an OLED TV and they're both great.

For reference, the monitor in question is the 38WN95C-W (https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/ultrawide/38wn95c-w/).

It's an expensive device. It could be that the "privilege" of having that option is locked behind the price tag.
The Canonical Debate vs. Hybrid Warfare

Thank you for the kind words! I'm Ronald, one of the cofounders of Shadeform.

Simplifying provisioning instances in AWS is definitely one of our goals! With our current AWS integration, we are setting up a VPC networking stack so all users have to do is worry about picking their instance. We also hope to integrate more cloud features and managed services that will make this a fully-fledged cross cloud console.
I've got the Virtuoso. The '586 (?) model with improved burrs. It's bulletproof. I did have to replace a few of the plastic parts that act like mechanical fuses when I tried to grind a batch of coffee that had a pebble in it.
Yeah, let's break the entire world in order to bring OpenSSH up to ideological purity (as defined by a particular group, to the exclusion of everyone else). XDG, or now Free Desktop, have no authority to dictate how others write their software. What makes their prescriptions holy? We are all equal in OSS and no one has the right to enforce their ideals on others.

I myself simply want the software to work and not to suddenly change behaviour. If you're writing something entirely new, perhaps the holy edicts of the XDG are right for you. But to ask for OpenSSH to change shows a complete incompetence in software leadership and impact assessment. Anyone that suggests something that insane ought not to be listened to and all their ideas ought to be entirely disregarded.
But somehow not mine heh
Dyed in the wool Penguinista here, running Debian on most of my stuff. (Some smaller Raspberry Pis and a Pi CM4 desktop run R-Pi OS.) My home server runs off an old Supermicro board with 16GB ECC RAM and which predates UEFI. It cost me about $100US used. It recently boots from 2 500GB SSDs in ZFS mirror. (Previously from a pair of old 500GB laptop HDDs.) I used to use rsync to backup but now my laptop and desktop are also on ZFS so I use ZFS (sanoid/syncoid) for backing up. In addition to serving files, I run Gitea on the server (in a Docker container) and a few other odds and ends to support Home Assistant. It backs up to a remote server (Dell R420, free from where my son works) at my son's house.

Home assistant is now running on a headless Pi CM4 having recently migrated from a Pi 3B+. It ran fine on the 3B+ except when memory demand was high, being constrained by the 1GB RAM. The CM4 has 2GB RAM.

I have a Pi 4B with 4GB RAM and a pair of 6TB HDDs in a USB dock (which also provides power for the 4B) and which also runs Gitea in Docker. It's sort of experimental but has been pretty solid.

One of my uses for the servers is to host a MkDocs site where I keep all of my notes. This is served by a very simple "python -m http" and meets my needs. MkDocs lets me format my notes using Markdown which is very convenient.

None of this is available to the Internet. All local due to security concerns. I have a separate VLAN for IoT devices, mostly Raspberry Pis and some smart bulbs and outlets. They don't get access to my primary LAN. VLAN and firewall are supported by a very small PC (Zotac - like a NUC) running pfSense.

HTH. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask and I'll eventually get back to you.
>Who defines "too much influence over the public,"?

Everyone knows drawing arbitrary lines in the sand is physically impossible, and we have never done anything like it before, and famously, American law has zero grey area and zero ambiguity about anything because everything is perfectly defineable in human life.

Slippery slope is a fallacy because it just pretends that decisions aren't being made at every single point on the slope. Notice how some drugs are illegal and others are less illegal? But if you ban one drug that's a slippery slope to ban all drugs!!!!

People make decisions in grey areas all the fucking time. There are judges answering those exact questions right now. That's like, their job.

I work on a Python project where I need to take class definitions and generate database query statements because all ORMs that currently exist don’t work for my needs. I'm currently doing this with string templates that I've defined by hand. Is there a smarter way?

I've looked into some compiler-like tools (can't remember the specific ones, sorry), and from what I can tell their code generation phase looks very similar to mine in that they use string templates.
There are really interesting innovations in hydro power ecology in the last many decades. Things like salmon runs, salmon ladders, and salmon cannons. (They benefit other freshwater fish, too, we just tend to like salmon the best in our naming scheme bias.) "Devastating" is a bit strong given all the work going into sustainable hydro power and environmentally aware hydro projects.
I'd like that. But I might change the timezone from UTC to mine.

Accredited Investors can invest via Special Purpose Vehicles when SpaceX is raising a round, or buy secondary shares if they know of anyone selling (sometimes these types of secondary offerings are listed on AngelList). A few years ago I saw someone on Twitter organizing an SPV to participate in their funding round at the time and the minimum commitment was $250K.

Mortality Assessments are left as an exercise for the reader.
The concern is not data collection. The concern is demoralizing content.
The aggregate safety of appliances bought through brick-and-mortar vs random imports is that failures are more readily tracked by the CPSC and patterns of failures will result in recalls.

If you're one of a small group of people that buys a dehumidifier from a brand that's active for 3 months on amazon; chances are that brand isn't going to be included in the recall notices when the samey design sold with persistent brands at major retailers is determined to be unsafe.

On the other hand, who's got a dehumidifier built in 2011-2014 that still works? I'm on my second one since 2019, and while the dehumidification is still working, the pump seems to be on its way out. On the first one, the compressor stopped spooling up not long after the warranty period ended.
Yes, but I speak from experience at Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook. Where I have personally worked for, applied too, or know people who did both.

To be fair, and somewhat surprisingly, I never have personally or know anyone that applied at Apple. So I do have a gap in first hand experience withe regards to Apple specifically.

Still, I would be very surprised if it was so different.

And as another commenter responded to me, it wasn't, the position was for an internship, so it makes sense now.
This was absolutely an issue back as far as XP with apps like 3D Studio Max. I remember starting to use Font management software to keep the installed system lean and manageable.

I’m also talking about a few thousand font types/variants. I did typesetting and required many for compatibility with ingesting content.

The irony of this argument is that China is seemingly undeterred by any of these treaties. As long as China is the manufacturing hub, they can do what they want anyway.

I imagine that most dehumidifiers are in basements which are not typically climate controlled.
I had this happen once but the force that would cause the drive to work seemed to be gyroscopic rather that pressure on the casing. So I had to hold the laptop at an angle and turn myself around on the spot while I copied the data off. If I stopped spinning around the drive would grind/crash and the OS would hang.

Go work for them on a position that has equity as part of the compensation.

Otherwise, I doubt it. Elon has been pretty vocal about regretting making Tesla public. Additionally SpaceX as a company is oriented around putting humans on mars. Until that happens, I expect a supermajority of ownership would be against the profit seeking motives that an IPO creates.

Short of investing in them, you could look for companies in industries that are likely to benefit from cheaper space access. Might have an easier time there.

Right before I left, I was getting paged at 7pm on Friday because of a brand new service pushed. Service didn't even start at first, because its image couldn't even be fetched… on Friday. At 7p.

… it's the joke hour(s) of deployments. But at the very least, as an SRE, it'd be appreciated to see at least a mad scramble to claim the page out of a feeling of embarrassment from having just paged the on-call at 7pm¹. But … no … inevitably the only people who do that are the same ones who avoid the 7p deploy…

¹… we used to have a "if you just deployed → you're now on-call for the next 15 min" automation. Miss that automation.

What you're thinking of is "featured snippets". As far as I know, the justification behind those is that they are exact quotes that are followed by a citation (a link). Google argues those are fair use, since it's a properly referenced quote.
> the researchers failed to consider other explanations for the “anomalies” in the data sets analyzed; that Harvard’s investigation into the allegations was “unfair and biased,” and that Harvard’s punishment was “overly harsh” — harsher than similar punishments when male professors were credibly accused of research misconduct.

That’s why they reported it to Harvard privately first. It was allegedly to allow them to investigate as well and to find if there is another plausible explanation. During and after the retraction was there any plausible explanation other than fraud?
If you mean is there a website where you can click some buttons and acquire shares then no, it isn't traded on any public market.

Some other ways:

- Invest in a company or fund that owns a significant chunk of SpaceX (like Google, Bank of America).

- Convince an insider to part with their shares (either directly or through one of the secondary marketplaces).

- Get a job at SpaceX.

No one should dictate what people can view on the internet or what software they can install. Unfortunately it is a part of most modern operating systems, and the American government is fine with letting it happen. Our surveillance-agnostic attitude is the problem, government bans are merely a symptom of it going malignant.

> However, 8 was merely 10% faster than 4

Since all threads usually share the cache (early Intel implementations hard-partitioned L1 and, IIRC, L2), cache misses can easily limit throughput. The more a thread causes misses, the less of a performance increase you'll get from a higher SMT. Your observations indicate the cache is already limiting throughput and adding an extra thread to an already used core causes it to spend more time waiting for L3 or (most likely) main memory.

Yup, there is definitely a cheat mode once you find it. Totally agreed on callouts and suggestions. Damage and mechanics need to get balanced out. The cows being more reactive would be super funny, maybe some more explosions on the ground that can affect the farmer. Still thinking through the asteroids... like they're just on a random number generator right now but i think there needs to be a little more thoughtful difficulty ramp.

Support for tail calls are in Phase 4 of the standardisation process: the last phase before becoming part of the Webassembly standard.

There is already a WASM back-end for Golang, which implements coroutines without tail calls or sparse stacks.

BTW. ISAs with opaque call stacks and verified branch targets, respectively do exist, but I dunno if there is hardware that does both. You could use Intel CET for the latter, and enable "Safe Stack" or a flavour of "Control Flow Integrity" instrumentation in LLVM to emulate the former. There are also projects that recompile existing binaries.
Google Fuchsia has Safe Stack enabled for all binaries, except for Golang unfortunately.
Well, lots of airflow, lots of water, fairly warm; slime growth 101 right there. I did find the line blocked, and trimmed it back to a more approriate length that seemed unconstricted. Shop-vac is a good idea. I also need to see if there's a pre-pump filter or something that needs cleaning.

That's honestly a pretty bad and misleading definition.

The key element of capitalism is not so much private vs. state ownership, it's ownership (and thus profit extraction) based on capital.

And the effect of is allowing control to be arbitrarily skewed towards wealthy individuals who don't need to work, while leaving others with no control at all, even over the work they do, while still needing to work to sustain themselves. Additionally, this skew tends to increase over time as capital accumulates profits exponentially.

The alternative is basing control on something other than capital. But that actually leaves a lot of different options, not just state ownership. What if the only legal form of corporation were the cooperative, with companies being collectively owned by, and profits distributed to, their employees, equally?
Full transparency is probably impractical as soon as the product is complex enough, but whenever inside a product there is one "main component" (such as is the case here), that should be indeed be properly traced - and it would cut the crap from companies who slap their brand on a plastic case hiding mostly the same core component - sometimes at laughlingly distant pricing points.
You don't need to monetize via capital though -- you can pay people to do the creating directly. Eg. One of the biggest ways independent artists already get paid is via services like patreon

My initial thoughts(I'm not a "language guy" so I don't pay much attention to languages outside the billion dollar ones).

* Is it gonna stay AGPL? Will people use it?
* I like the integration with shell. Largely because I hate actually coding in shell and this could be a cool replacement.
* Overall it looks pretty cool. I'd probably enjoy coding in it more than C
* it seems to have a handwritten lexer and parser?
* The mutator operator is cool
* I'm not the biggest fan of englishlike "push x onto y"
* I like the context stacks, I don't quite like having special builtin one with no distinguishing feature or namespace in the name
* Function suffixes are neat but a bit too odd for me
But I don't think I'd want to use anything "Indie" in production anywhere, and AGPL might scare off people so it never becomes a mainstream corporate backed thing, right?

Seems like you'd have to really carefully make sure it fits the audience who enjoys using indie stuff if you don't plan to get corporate backing. AI free seems like a good thing for that!
Fair enough, it may be more reliable against general/naive approaches like commercial uses though a sufficiently skilled adversary may only consider the fingerprinting techniques they have missed (one specifically targeting TB users).

> Bastide and Fabbri came to the conclusion that the most durable thing that humanity has ever made is culture: religion, folklore, belief systems. They may morph over time, but an essential message can get pulled through over millennia. They proposed that we genetically engineer a species of cat that changes color in the presence of radiation, which would be released into the wild to serve as living Geiger counters. Then, we would create folklore and write songs and tell stories about these “ray cats,” the moral being that when you see these cats change colors, run far, far away.
