> because the weather is miserable

Last time I was in London (early March, though many years ago) it was pretty bloody miserable too, but it seemed to be doing well enough despite that!
If any given day being well be suitable for hanging out at the beach is a gamble that would seem like an argument for choosing to live near it, where you can easily make spontaneous trips when the weather suits.
FWIW our most recent mini trip away was to a coastal town in Victoria in the middle of winter, where the weather was never going to be beach-suitable, other than for the dog (who loved it of course). And of course the die-hard surfers. But it was still a very pleasant getaway, with plenty to do and see, and several places we visited were booked out.
Global P2P distribution of torrented movies is at least 4 times more energy efficient than any datacenter system vould ever be.
Doesn't sounds like it accounts for computing efficiency then? That would probably be quite impossible or at least very difficult anyway. Of course, it's still great for a datacenter to actually use its energy for running the computers instead of just AC and transformers.

Heat recovery from datacenters for district heating is one way to increase the efficiency; I wonder if it impacts PUE?
Take this a further step. Assuming we had telescopes big enough and sensors sensitive enough, what does the structure of the deepest parts of space look like? Are there pre-galaxy-formation structures which are smaller than galaxies and yet take up huge swaths of sky? Are there structures from some point in the past that take up so much space on the sky that not very many of them can "fit", and, if so, do the calculations work out so that an equivalent explanation for having not very many of them is that the [region of the] universe [which is observable to us] was just that much smaller back then?
> People costs are much greater than energy costs.

Can you prove this assertion? The first page of Google results indicates energy is a greater cost than labor, with figures ranging from 60-70 percent of total operating costs.

(i owned a small web hosting company in the early 00s, and am somewhat familiar with the per sq ft cost model of colos and datacenters in general, having had to contract for space and perform part of the buildout myself)
Not the OP, but I have similar feelings. I don’t want a web browser or the ability check email - I just want decent two way sync with other cloud providers.

Yeah, uh good. Wikipedia now does two things better than anyone. Capturing and disseminating information and fundraising. I work at a nonprofit that has pivoted from surplus to deficit. We stored up a cash reserve in the fat years, misspent a bunch of it on ostensibly beneficial endeavors that ended up being kinda worthless and now we're eating our reserves to stay alive. Our fundraising operations are functional but withered and we're definitely leaving money on the table by not having the wherewithal to reach donors. I can only say I'm jealous of WMF and wish they'd come give us some lessons.

The energy in our universe is not unlimited, so perhaps each black hole spawns a new universe, and each has less and less energy in it. Think about, WHY is there a certain amount of energy in the universe? Why not more or less. Maybe it's just universes all the way down.

For me those help recovery, but don't help my direct exposure at all. Using a gel type eyedrop and letting that dry can kinda help because it will physically occlude the pollen to an extent.

That said, for people who aren't dumb enough to choose the worst possible matchup between their job and health conditions, those eyedrops should typically help. Alcaftadine (Lastacaft) is another one that recently became available without a prescription.

If there is we'd have to wait for the light from it to get to us, by which time the CMB will have receded further and it would then be in front of the CMB.
A third of all radar jammers operate on the principle of generating fake returns that "fly away" (often in unphysical ways because that was good enough).

It's funny how this 101-level fact that every radar technician, operator, and designer is keenly aware of somehow never seems to make it into the UFOlogist monologues about how infallible radar evidence is.
Can you recommend a particular podcast? Like you, I’ve found interviews with the author an excellent way to get a summary of a book.
Central authority is probably necessary if it is an authority on the final word. But I don't think that's as important as it sounds: what's really important is authority on the first word.

A distributed system could use a web of trust where each user claims to be the originator of their work, via PGP signature. At that point "authority" is determined by what user identities you consider trustworthy by including them in your web of trust.

I think the standard evolution of an API is:

1) basic CRUD API for your objects (eg DRF generated model-API in Django). Really easy to build. Client is assumed to have some magic knowledge (eg which country code style you use). Ideally as much of the smarts as possible is server-side, but early on you can compromise on this.

2a) for reads, notice you need nesting / joins, add nested fields. Maybe notice these joins are slow and make them optional; build some expanded=true or with_subobject=true type query params.

2b) for writes, notice that CRUD is getting hard to maintain as frontend can create n^2 possible states for n fields, and backend validation needs to consider all other fields for each update. Move complex state transitions to mutation/action/verb endpoints instead of PUT(any fields). Add your first “status” fields.

This gets you quite far, likely to be fine for 2 years and beyond. After this there are lots of options depending on needs, and overhead associated with more layers/abstraction;

3) use something structured like GraphQL, or just refactor the API to do away with directly updating objects. Maybe lean into Finite State Machines if you have a small number of objects with complex transitions, endpoints trigger those parameterized transitions.

Another option to consider is a server-side rendered framework with client-side hooks like Django+HTMX, Rails Hotwire, Elixir Livewire, where the frontend devs are working on styling, design, templates, and most/all the actual app logic is backend code. This gets you surprisingly far these days. If you are the one defining all the features, you’ll iterate quicker in this mode.

Kids and teenagers end up gay and transgender regardless of if they have access to the knowledge to explain their feelings and what to do about it or not. The only question is how much confusion, pain, suffering, and possible ostracism you wish for them to endure.
That was my thought as well; even Rust requires a .clone() call to deep-copy a Box<T>, since it doesn't allow implicit copies of types without the Copy trait. (Types with that trait must effectively be "plain old data" that can be copied byte-by-byte.) So I don't see the issue with requiring an explicit copy function for std::unique_ptr<T> instead of an implicit copy constructor.
Xanadu transclusion would not work without central authorities either. Under current copyright law a web page with instructions that say "paste chapter 2, paragraph 33 of someone else's book here" is not automatically legal. It may be construed as a derivative work.

Ted wanted to have copyright licensing and retrieval costs squared away so that when you opened an article with a quote from a book in it, you bought the article, you bought just the quote part of the book, something stitched them together into a document you could see, and everyone involved signed away their right to object to such an arrangement.

I suspect the reason why Xanadu wants tumblers is purely because organizing the entire world's knowledge into a single hierarchical number line looks mathematically neat, even though "give me everything in between page 63 of Snow Crash to page 4 of The Lord of The Rings" is not a meaningful question that can be answered. And again, requires a central authority to number catalogs and books so that they can be referenced in this absolutely batshit insane way.

IMHO the biggest problem with Xanadu isn't the technical underpinnings, or the disregard for decentralization. It's the UX design, or lack thereof. Having 10 different documents open with a bunch of transclusions and links drawn between them is at best extremely distracting and at worst not at all usable. There's a reason why "spiderweb of documents tied with red string" is a visual shorthand for conspiracy theories. And, again, all that requires a central authority to be putting in the work of tying red string in between all the documents, because nobody actually bothers doing that when writing documents unless threatened with academic or legal sanctions.

I can't figure out if you're patronising on purpose, or genuinely polite. FWIW I suspect it's the later, and your sorrys and smiles are meant to soften the blow. But I guess that highlights the issue - it's sometimes hard to distinguish between the two, especially when the other side (like me) is used to a more direct communication.
One problem with approaching physics without any calculus is that you're more or less in the place in which most people taking high school physics are. Here are a bunch of formulas. Memorize them and don't worry about why they are what they are or how they relate to all the other formulas that you also have to memorize.
The human brain consumes 20% of calories - a balance of brain vs brawn that has proven effective. I'd argue we'd be much better off with radically more energy (as a percentage of global energy) going to data centers. I'd also argue that this equilibrium will find itself.

It is an excellent idea, so are having "waste heat networks". You could then make a heat sink at scale that is also a reservoir for reuse. This would be as simple as installing another water loop that services location just like our existing water system.

Of course the details need to be worked out, but if a business district had a WHN, it would make it easier for mom-and-pop datacenters to built in urban environments.

It wouldn't be that much different than the steam loops that lots of existing cities have in their downtown core.
Windows has a Font Cache service that runs in the background so I would imagine they do. I'm not a Desktop Developer so I'm not all that familiar with the Windows API. But like any system, just because a convenient API exists that doesn't mean developers know about or use it. Especially with cross platform solutions, developers will opt not to use a particular API because it complicates things.

My guess is that these are poorly optimized Apps and the blogger is blaming the OS for their offenses.
> I'm referring to the outdated open source definition that is causing great projects leave the open source community.

The Open Source Definition is not "outdated" just because you claim it is. It is still serving its purpose of protecting user freedoms, and it is doing a great job.

When a project like MongoDB decides to use a license that is not open source, it is not the fault of the open source community that MongoDB Inc. made a decision for the project to become closed source. It is also not the fault of the open source community that Meta decided to make Llama 2 closed source while misusing the "open source" label to promote the project. MongoDB Inc. and Meta are solely responsible for their own business decisions.

> But most users can't benefit from most of those rights, because they can't afford nor do they want to examine, modify, and redistribute the apps they install on their devices.

You're wrong. All users benefit when other developers and security researchers examine a software for vulnerabilities to be fixed, and software is more easily examined when the source code is published. All users benefit when contributed patches and pull requests are merged, and when a discontinued project is forked and maintained again. All users benefit when these improved apps are redistributed and made available for them.

> They do, however, want privacy that the OSI's definition doesn't guarantee.

The purpose of the Open Source Definition (https://opensource.org/osd/) is to ensure the user's freedom to use, examine, modify, and redistribute software. There is nothing in the Open Source Definition that limits the privacy of its users. You have also not provided any example of how weakening the Open Source Definition would improve user privacy.

> That's a common misconception that stems from advertising the hackable software as "free" and "open".

The free software movement has been around since the 1980s and the open source software movement has been around since the 1990s. Your forum post that you linked shows your disdain for free and open source software, but doesn't provide a single good reason why FOSS developers and FOSS users should stop calling free and open source software "free and open source software".

I have no idea why you are spending so much effort to tell the FOSS community, a community that you evidently dislike, to abandon its goal of preserving user freedoms. It's not going to happen. The "fair-code" project is doing a much better job of promoting source-available software that is commercially restricted, partly because they don't try to antagonize their audience like you are doing, and partly because they recognize that the terms free software and open source software already have accepted meanings: https://faircode.io

This is neat, but seems wildly more complex than other detection methods with liquid biopsy. Most major players in this space are using methylation analysis with high specificity and sensitivity - it's not obvious to me that there is a benefit to electrical detection over that.

You have apparently not figured out (1) by how much? and (2) in which direction? - Andromeda rotates so slowly that after 220K years the far side has made only 1/1000th of a rotation. Please draw on a picture of Andromeda how far the far side moves after 1/1000th of a rotation. That's how small the image warping is.

I see the point of the article, and even on a principled level I might agree with it (e.g., don't overly abstract). A few problems I see though:

1. If you make backend-only abstractions to keep your code even a little bit DRY, you'll have a duplication of code (both the abstraction and the BFF endpoint). I think it'd be better to go all in on the abstraction up-front.

2. This will impair the conceptual integrity of the system and arguably lead to development slowdowns in the long run. To quote Mythical Man Month: “I will contend that conceptual integrity is the most important consideration in system design. It is better to have a system omit certain anomalous features and improvements, but to reflect one set of design ideas, than to have one that contains many good but independent and uncoordinated ideas.”

3. Your ad-hoc logic will likely be duplicated anyways across pages.

4. A general purpose API makes security features like RBAC much simpler.

I think a general-purpose API is a well established abstraction you can rely on for pretty much any project.

Would static code have been better? Or would is problem the code part? It's not clear from your statement, and also, there is code between hyperlinks from any page to any other page, that is just how it is. I'm not sure how dynamic code really introduces problems that static code can't though.
They are the overwhelming majority of users, whether you like it or not. This is the free market at work.

There isn't even a valid concern here to complain about. Electron apps are cross-platform out of the box. The tradeoff for open access and low-cost development is more RAM. Turns out, developers are more than happy to make that deal.

There is a more practical reason for that. QFT has become essential to learn for many Condensed matter physicists. And they always are with particle physicists which will span most of the physics community, at least comparing with whose work involve in-depth knowledge of fluid mechanics. Not to mention that QFT seems easy in comparison.
> std::box<T> addresses these issues by offering deep copying and automatic garbage collection

This is pretty much impossible when holding a pointer of base class. However, this is a primary reason for having pointers in the first place (polymorphism, and having abstract base classes).

In all other cases, you're probably better off with either the raw value, std::variant or std::reference_wrapper.
Totally 100% with this. When younger I thought I could read the material and say "Oh, okay that makes sense I understand this." Only to fail miserably when on a test or somewhere I had to apply what I "knew" and realizing I didn't actually know it. I lean strongly toward autodidacticism and learned that if I could solve problems with the technique then I knew it.

There are some (a lot of) changes that C++ should have inspired by Rust, but as the other comments have said. I really don’t feel like a smart pointer that acts like unique but copies by value is all that necessary.

That doesn’t seem to fix a memory bug (cause doing this with a unique ptr, then the compiler would yell at you for using copy), it seems to just make it easier than having to write `std::make_unique(*otherptr);`
Perhaps, but it's good to distinguish though between N95 masks and cloth masks.
My point was more that we would collectively be much worse off without household consumption than without data centers (so no Netflix, no smartly managed grid etc.)
Lots of things take 2% and that’s the problem - you can keep breaking down consumption into finer and finer categories, to find that all those fine categories each only take a small percentage of the total.

The problem is everything, all together. All the 2%s each need to take action in their own way.
Thank you once again!

Kind of, though because the language does a lot of things for you when you use the built in copy, make_unique gets complicated when you want to use std::box inside of another structure. You would need to override the default copy constructor to get this to work. For instance, vector<box<Foo>> wouldn't be possible to implement with unique_ptr because you can't override the copy constructor for a templated type. std::box would allow you to copy it. As for why you would need to do this (over vector<Foo>), consider Foo having subclasses. Complexity breeds complexity...

Regardless, I think lifetime annotations would solve far more problems than std::box. I really do like box as a suggestion as it would help clean up types, make things a bit more explicit in a few places, but there are bigger issues with C++ right now. This is a great suggestion (as is unique_resource for similar on the stack), but a relatively minor thing in the scheme of things. Still nice.
