It should be noted that syncing with Dropbox, G Drive and OneDrive does not not work the same as when you sync to their cloud.

E.g., if I add a new page to a notebook and want that reflected in whatever cloud I’m using - as a user, I have to delete the previously uploaded file then manually upload the notebook.

If you have multiple notebooks or items to sync, you have to do it one by one.

Where other than Finland is it being tried? What is systematically failing is to expect people to get clean before providing housing. It doesn't get people clean and it doesn't get people off the streets.
It doesn't seem that complicated: they want unique_ptr that is copyable and copies the underlying pointee as well.

I think this would be way too big of a footgun: with implicit copy it would be too easy to pass box instead of box& and accidentally make copies when you didn't mean to. Box is not copy in Rust which avoids that problem, so really the equivalent in C++ would be just to add a .deepcopy() function on uniqueptr which is only implemented if the underlying type has a copy ctor.
Doesn’t that have to assume that all deals came through advertising? In my case I find more and more sales are word of mouth or from organic search, but it’s very hard to measure (at least in B2B).
Whether it's stable or not is irrelevant, if it's "stable_sort()" then it always should be, if it's "sort(stable: bool)" then it could be. It shouldn't depend on why and when I intend to use it. Most importantly it shouldn't suddenly become stable when I pass "sort(companyName=Walmart) because that's what we needed to do for Walmart but none of the others. That's outside context leaking in and a big mess to maintain.

I'd rather have an optionally-owned pointer type so I can handle writing virtual methods that can return a value aliasing an already existing value or create a new one on demand. Otherwise you either have to roll your own or bloat your API:

virtual std::flexptr<Thing> get_expensive_thing();

vs:

virtual bool has_expensive_thing();
virtual const Thing& get_expensive_thing();
virtual std::unique_ptr<Thing> build_expensive_thing();

It'd probably have shared_ptr semantics but you'd have to treat it as a const ref for lifetime purposes, which might make it distasteful to the std library folks.
>all evidence suggests that providing that system is cheaper than not doing so

Can you elaborate on the costs?
> Especially with risk of myocardiitis predominant in young males?

Isn't the risk of myocarditis worse from COVID than the vaccines? From [1], "In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we found that the risk of myocarditis is more than seven fold higher in persons who were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 than in those who received the vaccine."

I understand that my linked source doesn't seem to split up the data by age group, but given their overall findings, do you have a source that says the 7x difference doesn't hold in younger men?

However, RAID1, you stress the drive that has your only copy of the data. With 5/6 (RAIDz w/ 2 spares as well) you can have multiple copies of the data, so although you are overall increasing stress on your fleet, wouldn't it have a lower probability of data loss?

Drive stress (for me) is mostly a concern about data loss.

I think it should be ok to complain about things that you benefit from, and I don't think it is hypocrisy. I benefit from the world's growing inequality but I still think it's a bad thing and will be long term detrimental and I complain about it to anyone who will listen.

EDIT: Why are you booing me? I'm right.
The actual staffing of DCs is rather sparse for hyperscalers and are typically outsourced if not prime DCs to a few companies that also do it with fairly low headcount.

Hyperscalers in particular currently can’t scale out very easily necessarily because many of the DCs have hit local power restrictions so compute power efficiency and density are the primary means to grow capacity. Think apartments in skyscrapers v row houses. So electricity _efficiency_ is what is being sought rather than just pure operational costs of the DCs.

I’m the northern Virginia exurbs hyperscalers have bought out so much of the land it’s now perhaps greater land use than family farms there and starting to encroach upon housing developments. Locals also complain about the noise (there’s a sort of hum from the sheer mass of air and whirring fans) from DCs impacting health. Some areas have been reporting increased rates of hearing disabilities although I can’t recall a study being conducted yet.
I'm not criticizing. I'd like to understand what might make climbing a tall rock worth losing my life.
Not relevant. We have infinite electricity from fission and solar; there is just a lack of will to utilize it.

It is extraordinary. Much of the hostility stems from the fact that most are distilling the article from the perspective of their tribe and somehow feeling attacked which is ironic considering the material.

The “frustration” echoed in the book and article is real. Most people today have had a taste of the things they didn’t know they wanted and more apt to join a movement.
There isn't really collusion, all the developers know which side their bread is buttered on. All the major developers in the UK are the biggest Conservative party donors and they run on restricted development, nimbyism, and keeping house prices high no matter what.

Rent control works for some people (e.g. those already living in rent controlled apartments). It also tends to suppress long term supply and improvement of existing supply, and that hurts other people in less visible ways (e.g. people who would have moved into new housing which was never built due to supply suppression, or residents of rent-controlled buildings which gradually fall into disrepair).

In general, we should be skeptical of any policy where those helped are obvious and those harmed are non-obvious or distributed through time and space.

Essentially, it's more efficient to generate heat directly from a windmill, than first turning it into electricity.

That being said, porque no los dose. Efficient heat is great, but you don't always need it. If you only use the electric generator a few months a year, it may still be worth it, given you're investing in a windmill.
> Aside from Aragorn and possibly Faramir, the ruling Men are depicted as weak and flawed.

Prince Imrahil is also a great noble of Gondor. And in Rohan, we see Éomer and the late Theodred without notable flaws. Flawed but nonetheless worthy nobles include King Théóden, Lady Éowyn, and Boromir. Steward Denethor is a complex case. King Brand of Dale is largely outside of the story proper, but is also seen as a great leader.

The Marxist analysis seemed to me flawed, particularly in presenting dwarves as below men in the social hierarchy. The men of Laketown had an elected leader; the dwarves had a kingdom, and though driven out of it they had regained some measure of wealth in their lands of exile. They were indigent at Laketown, but that's because they'd lost much on their travels. Nonetheless, they were fêted. Once re-established, the kingdoms of Erebor and Dale were close allies, and dwarves and men lived in harmony.
https://esim.me is selling an eUICC-on-a-physical-SIM card. The only part that sucks is that you have to provision eSIM profiles through their proprietary Android app. Someone please reverse engineer it?
I like the idea. I have wondered why not have a "garbage collected" smart ptr std::gc_ptr<T> that can allow cycles with other such ptrs to avoid the short coming of std::shared_ptr<T>. You would need to define which gc_ptr's are in your "root set" to initiate the "mark and sweep" of the graph of ptrs. This would be useful for heavily linked data structures with cycles.
You're overly humble Chuck. ;)
> we should be actively hostile to corporate attempts to take over that process.

Hard agree. I've become convinced their power to ignore, replace, and EEE standards requires legal intervention. So far it seems only randomized browser ballots can effect any meaningful change. Otherwise websites will just build for the dominant browser regardless of any agreements among them.
I think it is a good blog post, because it highlights an issue that I was not aware of and that I think many programmers are not. I do think I am a decent C programmer, and I spotted the strict aliasing issue immediately, but I didn't know that unaligned pointer access is UB. Because let's face it, the majority of programmers didn't read the standard, and those who did don't remember all facets.

I first learned many years ago that you should pick apart binary data by casting structs, using pointers to the middle of fields and so on. It was ubiquitous for both speed and convenience. I don't know if it was legal even in the 90s, but it was general practice - MS Office file formats from that time were just dumped structs. Then at some point I learned about pointer alignment - but it was always framed due to performance, and due to the capabilities of exotic platforms, never as a correctness issue. But it's not just important to learn what to do, but also why to do it, which is why we need more articles highlighting these issues.

(And I have to admit, I am one of these misguided people who would love a flag to turn C into "portable assembler" again. Even if it is 10x slower, and even if I had to add annotations to every damn for loop to tell the compiler that I'm not overflowing. There are just cases where understanding what you are actually doing to the hardware trumps performance.)
I've seen this sort of pointer (assuming the author means it's nullable) be called "clone_ptr<T>" but it called T's clone() method. Because T might be a base class, invoking the pointee's copy constructor in C++ is not a great idea.
He went so far in adopting historical accuracy, he ended up co-authoring a research paper about the mechanism.
Right, that's what I meant when I said that the advantage of a speed limit is locality. It allows you to compute the next state of a point in spacetime based only on the points around it.

But my point was that this also makes the universe more complex than an alternative fictional universe where information can be accessed instantaneously across any distance (which still allows for distributed computation, if synchronization or lazy computation is possible).
Lol. You misunderstand almost all of my points but I'm tired of arguing. Decarbonizing means reducing carbon. Period.
And it gives you nice drag/drop/seek/preview type stuff.

That said, since I've been using an AI assisted terminal (warp.dev currently) my use of GUI wrappers for different tools has faded quite a bit. I like being able to "Clip 0:10 through 0:30 of file.mp4 and turn it into a web optimized gif", and this NLP workflow works as a "wrapper" for almost any CLI. It's a nice interface without the loss of any functionality.

Because the “edge” of our universe where we see the CMB is not a point in space we are viewing in real time that is currently emitting the CMB.

That edge is a sphere in space that was far enough away when the CMB was emitted in the past that we only see the light from it now.
Wow, sorry guys my bad. I'll turn my TV off. Good day!
People who have tried cling, what's your experience?
Yeah. This is suggesting to me that the "model" live in the back-end obviously and the "view" is separated across the front-end and back-end. I think that does sound more straightforward for many cases. So working on the "view" requires being not exactly a "full-stack" engineer but at least being able to make changes both on your front-end part of the view that makes API calls and back-end part of the view that serves them. I think that makes sense. You can still have fully "back-end" developers that handle the database and actual server, and fully "front-end" developers that handle ui design and content.
I hope this counts as productive feedback if the author of the blog is reading this - the post you put so much effort into writing truly deserves a better presentation experience than this: https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/110/923/56...

If one creates a new app (which was unclear what that even means), then the resulting 403 makes the site never load again (just choosing instead to say "Loading ..." forever)

Kind of related to that, if a user created a new app, it's weird that the new app would be 403 to that user
Tart is also very cool. It's not F/OSS but it is source-available and its license is liberal about non-commercial and small-scale commercial use:

https://github.com/cirruslabs/tart

The very cool thing about Tart is how it uses OCI for OS images, so you can use your existing image registry infrastructure to host and pull down OS images.

Cilicon is a compatible F/OSS clone that currently only supports a subset of that functionality: https://github.com/traderepublic/Cilicon

These are more CI-oriented but I like how that makes it easy to manage state with them.

If you're focused on Linux VMs and maybe not on GUI stuff (although I'm sure you can make that work), Lima seems to be the go-to in the user 'community', as it were: https://github.com/lima-vm/lima

If you use ARM guests on Apple Silicon, you should get good perf just like with stuff in the OP. (Like UTM, Lima is based on QEMU.)
This is not “all of physics” because we are still pretty far from deriving all physics from the microscopic scale: there's still a good chunk of physics that relies on macro-scale empirically-derived formulas. For instance: fluid mechanics and granular material mechanics.
That does seem to be a quirk of Firefox profiles. You could workaround with a secondary profile that uses Firefox Sync to make them nearly equivalent.

I think a more accurate word might be "enslavement".

A person, a group of people, or an explicit social system, has decided to override my goals without replacing my behavior. Without fighting them directly, I am left to execute behaviors that meet their goals. The very context of my executive functioning has been replaced with arbitrary constraints.

Who determines the goals of "everybody"? No one can!
Take note that in part of the article they mention they are moving salmon to colder waters. Why are they doing that? The issue there is the river is running shallow due to the dams, the shallow depth allows the river water to be warmed beyond a point habitable for salmon runs.

You can see pictures of what these elevated river temperatures do here: https://english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2021/08/02/Scorchin...

Why is water depth so important? It's pretty well known how hot concrete can get when sitting in exposed California sun. If you have a water depth of a foot - that water is going to get really toasty.

There's quite a few resources regarding water temperatures and the effect it's having on salmon runs:

- https://www.ucsrb.org/low-water-high-temperatures-drastic-ef...
Sure, but I don't think things are that simple. It's a huge ecosystem, once it falls into the wrong attractor it is hard to bring it back into a different healthy state. For example, some key bacteria and their symbionts may disappear, or their predators may become really abundant. In this scenario, increasing dietary nutrients to favor certain bacteria might not work.

That is why stronger interventions, e.g. targeted bacteriophage therapies and fecal transplants are something that is getting trialed.

This is how you lock yourself into a single front end design. And when you get ready for the next generation of your app or site, now you’re locked in and changing that front end design becomes exponentially harder.

Some great in-jokes there (hands up who gets the EBCDIC one).

More seriously, a lot of the discussions about "undefined behaviour" seem to be aimed at the kind of code that no experienced engineer would write anyway. Until there's a language that's proved formally correct, every language is going to have "undefined" behaviour (though some languages - especially more modern ones - cover more cases/make it harder for less experienced users to blow their foot [or worse, someone elses] off).
And if that eating is already covered? To say nothing of QT, Avalonia, Uno, GTK, and others. Many of those manage to figure out cross-platform with native controls.

I clicked through the link and looked at what data was available--looked like a lot of broken links. But, depending on your definition of mountaineering, as someone with a fair bit of experience in the area, I simply don't believe that mountaineering at any significant level is safer than driving whatever sort of normalization you settle on. The latest fatality stats for US roads is something like one per 100 million miles.

However, as both you and the link suggest, it's essentially impossible to normalize. I don't know how I'd even draw a hard line between a "walk in the woods" and "mountaineering." But do whatever works for you.
Anytime anyone cites "Californication" it's just a clear indicator that they don't live here, and know nothing about the place.

California is NOT what people think in Texas and Arkansas.

Isn't it the US south that's banning certain words and discussions?

That said, as a person living in California, I totally agree this change in nomenclature is pointless posturing.

In my opinion, being a "follower" is even more disparaging than being a "slave"

Slaves don't really have a choice, they're forced to labor, whereas followers are volunteering their subservience.
The author is also a non-physicist, though he'd disagree with that characterization. He is a famous crackpot. Ask him to actually derive all of physics from these principles and he'd fail completely.

Poverty is the lack of a buffer between you and entropy. It's rarely defined broadly enough.

It's a reduction in the margin for error that we require to exist.

Entropy is always grinding away at our attempts to order, to organize. Which is a requirement for us to exist for any meaningful duration. Poverty is the lack of a buffer against that force always trying to break down aspects of our organization.

If you lack poverty, and your car tire ruptures, you can replace it in order to continue getting to work every day. In poverty, entropy wins that battle, it grinds you down. Now you can't even get to work to try to make ends meet. Every aspect of poverty is similarly encompassed by this principle in action. Would you like nice vacations out of country for rest and relaxation and or new experiences? In poverty you face the daily erosion of entropy, unabated. No break or stimulation for you. Want access to the best medical specialists in the world? In poverty, you won't get it typically. Entropy is trying to kill you (not with homicidal intent, just inadvertently as it grinds away at order), with affluence you have a far better chance of surviving serious medical events (with or without universal healthcare).

In the poorest nations, the buffer between people and entropy is almost always very small. That usually covers food security, political stability, human rights. Affluence almost always purchases access to enormous entropy buffers, including access to nations with superior human rights, superior political stability, and so on.

That mirrors the trajectory of all humankind, doesn’t it? From lofty Platonic ideals to nitty gritty empiricism and experimentation.
Indeed. I was hoping to draw the distinction between license of the tool vs its output. AI is interesting in that its training inputs can leak out, sometimes in ways that are verbatim or insufficiently transformative to be free of copyright.
A naive approach that may still work well is to simply break up the image into fixed, predetermined regions. I don't believe this would be significantly more work for the server if it's already comparing pixel-by-pixel, and the average frame will probably contain updates only in one region. Even breaking it into 4 or 6 would, I think, be a significant payload reduction.
That is some dedication, well done. Interesting to know more about your career and where this lead to if you continued down the physics path.
Right? If economics isn’t even a science, what does it make climatology?
