What makes you think they don't understand it? They acknowledge that it is UB. I read them as realistic, since they know that people rely on C compilers working a certain way. They even wrote an interpreter that detects UB: https://github.com/TrustInSoft/tis-interpreter

I understand why people like the compiler being able to leverage UB. I suspect this philosophy actually makes Trust-In-Soft more money: You could argue that if there was no UB, there would be no need for the tis-interpreter.

So isn't it in fact quite self-less that they encourage the world to optimize a bit less (spending more money on 'compute'), while standing to profit from the unintended behaviour they'd otherwise be contracted to help debug?
Or a ton of other factors. I don't think there's a convincing study that shows an effect of language on e.g. arithmetic. There is a whole bunch of studies where culture, environment, status, income, education, discrimination, age, etc. are confounds.

If the laws and initial state of the universe can be expressed in few enough bits, then all you need to store is a title and a date. Run a simulation of the universe, fast forward to the date the movie was released, use an AI to find a theater playing it, and digitize the tape. It may take longer to run than the current age of the universe, but eventually you’ll get it.

The point of the quote isn't that Debian is hard. It's that people chose a worse distro because they need hand holding.

Consider a comparable quote:

> Taskrabbit is an ancient Swedish word meaning "I can't assemble IKEA furniture".
>Solar panels and wind turbines cannot provide the energy to deploy new panels or turbines

Yes they can.

If you want to wait a few hundred years to bootstrap the entire industry just using wind and solar energy (once we have the first solar panel) then we can do that. It makes more sense to get it done quicker though.

I find this interesting. My team at a large public university in the United States just failed two rounds of interviews for a senior full stack software engineer position. Salary is around 130k full compensation. This number includes fantastic benefits and 12% match for 401k . We failed the interview because the candidates that we get are very inexperienced and they interviewed terribly not knowing even basic things. However we can't seem to get anyone more experience to apply because their salary demands are too high, so we end up with entry level engineers attempting to apply to senior roles. The university can't afford to pay anymore so we're kind of stuck.

It feels like a solid gray patch with the default color would have a slightly higher percentage but I'm having a hard time getting an even enough spray to say it's from the shade and not density variations between the light/dark portions.

Sadly for me, using single color leaving the middle and top brighter was significantly better than my actual attempts hitting near 80.
I'm really worried about the anti-trans thing the last years. Even some of my "friends" who were really LGBTI+ friendly, are now rabid anti-trans and want them to die (literally in some cases, I'm not exaggerating). I don't get this. What are trans people doing to us? They are just going about their lives not hurting anyone.

It seems to be mostly under the flag of 'for the children' and in the US it seems more religiously/GOP oriented but if you actually start a discussion and dismantle some of their talking points with actual proof (no, kids are not indoctrinated into becoming trans or gay, it's just about understanding), the actual underlying rabid hate comes out.

I'm not LGBTI+ myself but I'm very good friends with many of them and I find it sickening. Leave people to be who they are.

Twitter is fine. I have a large follower account, nothing is wrong with the site, besides the terrible name change.

Based on the book he points to, it goes somewhat like this:

(...) people asked what entropy was microscopically. The answer can be formulated in various ways. The two most extreme answers are:

Entropy measures the (logarithm of the) number 𝑊 of possible microscopic states. A given macroscopic state can have many microscopic realizations. The logarithm of this number, multiplied by the Boltzmann constant 𝑘, gives the entropy.*

Entropy is the expected number of yes-or-no questions, multiplied by 𝑘 ln 2, the answers of which would tell us everything about the system, i.e., about its microscopic state.

In short, the higher the entropy, the more microstates are possible. Through either of these definitions, entropy measures the quantity of randomness in a system. In other words, entropy measures the transformability of energy: higher entropy means lower transformability. Alternatively, entropy measures the freedom in the choice of microstate that a system has.

(...)

Before we complete our discussion of thermal physics we must point out in another way the importance of the Boltzmann constant 𝑘. We have seen that this constant appears whenever the granularity of matter plays a role; it expresses the fact that matter is made of small basic entities. The most striking way to put this statement is the following:

There is a characteristic entropy change in nature for single particles: Δ𝑆 ≈ 𝑘. This result is almost 100 years old; it was stated most clearly (with a different numerical factor) by Leo Szilard. The same point was made by Léon Brillouin (again with a different numerical factor. The statement can also be taken as the definition of the Boltzmann constant 𝑘.

The existence of a characteristic entropy change in nature is a powerful statement. It eliminates the possibility of the continuity of matter and also that of its fractality. A characteristic entropy implies that matter is made of a finite number of small components.

The existence of a characteristic entropy has numerous consequences. First of all, it sheds light on the third principle of thermodynamics. A characteristic entropy implies that absolute zero temperature is not achievable. Secondly, a characteristic entropy explains why entropy values are finite instead of infinite. Thirdly, it fixes the absolute value
of entropy for every system; in continuum physics, entropy, like energy, is only defined up to an additive constant. The quantum of entropy settles all these issues.

This reminds me of a recent thing that was forced upon me. My brokerage was acquired by another brokerage and as a result I had to fill out some annoying paperwork. That acquisition did not benefit me in any way but a few people certainly made a ton of money because of it. I resent that, even though in the grand scheme I was not really that inconvenienced.

In retrospect I should have just spent the same amount of time transferring the contents of that account somewhere else (somewhere that is already set up). At the time I didn't realize how little work is required for such a change.

U.S. approves $3B deal for Israel to sell missile defense system to Germany
According to Dennis Ritchie from the Jargon File:

"Some people are confused over whether this word is appropriately ‘UNIX’ or ‘Unix’; both forms are common, and used interchangeably. Dennis Ritchie says that the ‘UNIX’ spelling originally happened in CACM's 1974 paper The UNIX Time-Sharing System because “we had a new typesetter and troff had just been invented and we were intoxicated by being able to produce small caps.” Later, dmr tried to get the spelling changed to ‘Unix’ in a couple of Bell Labs papers, on the grounds that the word is not acronymic. He failed, and eventually (his words) “wimped out” on the issue. So, while the trademark today is ‘UNIX’, both capitalizations are grounded in ancient usage; the Jargon File uses ‘Unix’ in deference to dmr's wishes.

As in a white hole is the big bang? That has a kind of poetic symmetry to it, with black holes (big crunches?) being the end, and white holes being the beginning of our particular universe.

Germany had a much higher peak in emissions in the 1970s and 1980s, unlike the UK which phased out coal early, or France which went all in on nuclear.

German emissions have been rapidly declining since 1990 (even with nuclear reactors closing, because the investment was steered into renewables). They just need a few more years to catch up to their neighbours.

I actually think the opposite is true. The way I've heard it phrased and explained that makes the most sense to me is "everything moves through spacetime at the same rate" - it's basically the clock speed of the universe. It's just that if you move faster in a space dimension that your relative movement in the time dimension slows down.

It only seems weird to us because our senses and minds evolved in an environment where things we can perceive never differ by relativistic speeds.
Collation aside (which is absolutely a huge boost in speed that I neglected to think about), I assumed that the rest of the difference was coming from the fact that the initial `cut` meant the rest of the pipeline had far less to deal with, whereas `awk` is processing every line. Benchmarking (and testing in `perf`) showed this to not be the case. I'd need to compile `awk` with debug symbols, I think, to know exactly where the slowdown is, but I'm going to assume it's mostly due to `sort` being extremely optimized for doing one thing, and doing it well.

I did find one other interesting difference between BSD and GNU tools - BSD sort defaults to 90% for its buffer, GNU sort defaults to 1024 KiB.

Combining all of these (and using GNU uniq - it was also faster), I was able to get down to 463 msec on the M1 Air:

It's not like you need a square mile of panels to trickle-charge an e-bike or a light ev motorbike.

I'm not a physicist, but AFAIU the speed of travel/causality for light is only the maximum speed of causality because photons have a mass of literally zero.

If photons had non-zero mass they could only travel slower than the maximum speed of causality (which would probably be called speed of gravity rather than speed of light, in this alternative universe).

A non-obvious difficulty is that on the bytecode level constructor invocation are "special", i.e., a separate bytecode command has to be used to call it. Therefore, introducing separate instructions for value types would have required recompilation (or rewriting at startup) of user code that calls constructors of value classes. This would have been an ongoing migration issue and a potential source of bugs, not just because of Java Core legacy like the primitive wrapper types. Fortunately, it turns out that the JVM can be adapted to smoothly hide the difference behind the scenes.

It seems odd from a US perspective, too. Here, it's much more expensive and desirable to live anywhere by the sea than it is to live inland. If you take two towns that are equal in all other ways, people would rather move to the seaside town. The existence of other seaside tourist destinations shouldn't change this.

I (maybe obviously) know nothing about UK, but if there was a Blackpool-like town that's just like Blackpool, but inland, wouldn't that town be even less desirable?

All in Pod E142: “Rich Men North of Richmond” hits #1, upward mobility [video]
Completely anecdotal but curious.

When my wife and I had children, our respective parents, two very different families (one progressive professional urbanites, the other conservative rural farmers) were both unusually insistent that our babies "get dirty." I can still picture them sitting on the ground in the garden in their diapers, grabbing handfuls of dirt and sticking them into their mouths (they learned quick, though). My mother, a paragon of modern conveniences, was insistent we hand wash our dishes. And you'd better damned well breast feed unless you've got a really good reason not to.

I was raised to be independent and think for myself, and my internal voice was saying, "What's with all this hippie B.S.?"

When asked about it, my parents told us that these ideas were handed down from their parents (coincidentally, farmers and business-people) after generations of observing that kids who grew up "too-clean" got sick more often. Literally, wives-tales. But as an adult, exposed to other families through school and playmates, I saw this for myself. Probably confirmation bias, except for now it's got science behind it.

Funny how some old knowledge becomes new knowledge again.

Trading off hundreds (thousands?) of people at US salaries for only a 10% impact in uptime is a sane business decision.

Having this many people working on a system that was built and "finished" 10 years ago (there have been no major feature updates to the core Twitter experience) in a decade, it means:

1) the system is built and working well but the engineers continue building complexity for complexity's sake in order to justify their continued employment and/or polish their resume (very common in any kind of large tech company with no clear product that people pay for - I call these "engineering playgrounds")

2) if the system is not actually working and needs hundreds/thousands of engineers to tend to it, then those people are incompetent and should be let go either way
I returned yesterday from a hospital stay. Before going in, I had been having ever-worsening asthma and related symptoms, which stopped when I ... stopped taking my asthma medication. Generic medications in the U.S., practically speaking, are allowed to have more toxic contaminants. Even more so for generics produced outside the U.S. Many articles about this are titled something like "our medications are poisoning us". I point this out because it's a factor of some significance not mentioned in the article, as far as I can see.
There are various definitions of "processed" but I think they center on changing the food structure in a way that doesn't even happen with cooking, for example reforming fats or proteins. There's a large set of vegan products based on reforming soy, rice, and other proteins and I consider those to be very processed, and they have gained in popularity.

Food is getting more and more accessible to buy and order - are people cooking less at home?

People ask each other, "which protein powder do you use?". Protein powder is processed food.
