With that said, we have yet to see if Podman can stand the test of time.

Millions of people flocked to Threads because of a dust-up on Twitter... and then immediately went back to Twitter. Can Podman manage to keep it's traction and continue growing... that will be something to see.

What do you mean? The author seemed to indicate that it was their personal problem.
In my experience, over-exposure to terrifying situations leads me to full-blown panic attacks, emotional dysregulation, crying, sometimes being trapped in a situation miles from safety with no way to get back, and being traumatized for days afterwards and (very rationally) avoiding the situation in the future. The people who want me to put myself into fearful situations are people who want to hurt me.

Old post, should add (2018).

I liked WoW Classic, played it for a bit, but real life got in the way. I might pick it up again in the future. I also made some small add-ons to aid me - stuff like auto-sell junk, auto-repair, etcetera.

One thing I always think they did wrong, was to not add the original Alterac Valley PVP map, in which battles could last many hours, sometimes even several days. Those battles were truly epic. But Blizzard decided to add the simplified map to classic, which, for me, removed much of the fun from this map.
I suppose it depends. My AMD DDR5 machine spends most of its boot time on memory training. Once that's done it's only a few seconds into the OS. (I know I could enable fast boot to skip that most of the time, but I rarely reboot and would rather have the guaranteed stability.)
France gets a large portion of electricity from Nuclear, though the data I could find does not say France is GHG neutral.

The second largest source looks to be oil at around 35% [1]

This source, [2], goes on to state: "In 2022, France's power sector carbon emissions nearly reached 40 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e), down from a century-peak of over 50 million tons recorded in 2005"

What doesn't work about the math? There are many alternate taxation schemes and strategies that can be tried, such as increasing VAT on certain products, adjusting tax brackets to income changes, higher capital gains taxes on investments, and making tax evasion more difficult.
In this particular case the median is pretty close to the average.
I'd expect that to be because of the current regulatory hurdles and associated costs. If policy shifts to make it easier (thus cheaper) to build, I'm sure berkshire would jump in.

No, it simply declares the goal of that add-on: to fully comply with declarative ways of MV3 AND its limitations, and no uBO extended features that need workarounds to be implemented.

Targeting Windows and Proton is already the status quo if you want the green tick on Steam, and apparently tens of thousands of game developers do because Valve promote Deck-compatible games heavily and that audience is more likely to spend money.

You can build a "Steam box" console with any Linux distribution and Steam's Big Picture mode. Autologon and start Steam in Big Picture mode on startup. I have this on Debian on a NUC, and there's a distro ChimeraOS which offers a polished pre-installed A/B update experience too.
Exactly yes, should have phrased that differently.

Which of your projects uses your modified license? That sounds like it could be just right for a project I'm working on.

Edit: Reading up more on it, it sounds like modifying the license isn't allowed. It's explicitly called out in section 3.7 of their guidelines.

A tale as old as time -

"Police arrested the suspect and said he was a maintenance worker for a firm that maintains billboards in the city.

According to the police, the employee had a financial dispute with the company and, in order to take revenge, showed porn on the screen instead of advertising."

I get very few warnings. My local government (Germany) has a phone app ("Nina"), entirely optional, and you can subscribe to areas. There's no tracking where my phone is, they only push notification to what areas I subscribed to. There's a map of the whole country where I can view current emergencies. The nearby emergencies have been evacuations due to World War 2 bombs, "please close windows" due to fires and water contermination. Weather warnings, e.g. high risk of severe storms, are done by another app. I don't have the feeling it has been misused or alerted too often.

Right now the app shows two warnings only for whole Germany. They're multi-week, one about drinking water contermination in one city, another about unstable ground due to flooding in a old mining town.
> That's a fun benchmark to have. Seems like gencgc is better than the new GC anyway wrt pause times?

At that time the GC didn't compact, and so much time was wasted scavenging and sweeping the old objects. Old objects aren't contiguous due to not moving objects, though we try to avoid reading from the heap; we only twiddle metadata tables when sweeping and only read objects that we must scan for old->new references while scavenging. Here that wasn't sufficient:

> As a result, scavenging took 2.9 milliseconds on average, tracing took 1.9 milliseconds, and sweeping took 1.6 milliseconds.

Ideally scavenging and sweeping would take much less time than tracing. I think it should behave better now with compaction, but haven't benchmarked; and my approach to benchmarking Kandria is pretty sloppy in any case.

> Having a bump-pointer arena for this which is reset per-frame would probably be quite nice.

Indeed SBCL has support for arenas (though AIUI no stable user-facing interface at the moment), but it still takes some effort to work out what goes in the arena, and the current interface in SBCL also requires all libraries to know about arenas which isn't great for retrofitting.

> The Acknowledgements section is crazy haha, with mentions such as Cliff Click (OG Hotspot JIT compiler architect) and Larry Masinter (Xerox PARC Interlisp) along with the nice SBCL and Kandria devs.

I can't take much of the blame for much of the design; much of it was collaborated in the #lispcafe channel on Libera, which ostensibly is the "off topic" channel. Well. Also worth mentioning that Cliff Click also worked on parallel/concurrent GC and other parallel algorithms, so he was most helpful with interpreting the performance of this GC.
(a) No, uBOL will still have many missing capabilities comparing uBO even in full mode, more prone to anti-adblock/ads-reinsertion (problems with `redirect-rule` and unable to fast updates) and ads/trackers/popups can slip through if cannot be caught by regex filters.
I don't think it is that unpopular of a take. Generally speaking, Ads and subscriptions pay for the website.

The issue I personally have is:

1) When the Ads themselves contain malware.

2) Eat up all your bandwidth/mobile data.

2.1) Have auto-playing videos / popups.

1) is somewhat rare. But it is something that has happened multiple times with major websites and services.

If I remember correctly, the Washington Post and Yahoo have previously had this issue. Google's Advertisement platform has repeatedly allowed malware to spread via their advertisement system. (Both on Mobile devices, and desktop devices, but usually more focused on mobile devices.)

2) is something I have to deal with everyday on the phone. When on a train filled to the brim, a lot of times the connection speed drops precipitously. In short, I don't have bandwidth to spend on an Ad, especially a video Ad. So I block them all, and usually try not to browse any image or video heavy sites.

2.1) is really just a quality of life thing.

NC has a weird plate law.

> Any motor vehicle of the age of 35 years or more from the date of manufacture may bear the license plates of the year of manufacture instead of the current registration plates, if the current registration plates are maintained within the vehicle and produced upon the request of any person.

This means that you are issued regular plates and must carry them in the car, but can display a year of manufacture plate as the only plate on the car which is not registered with the state at all. Good luck getting a parking ticket or toll-by-plate.
Just give it random useless information, they will flag you as untrusted training source and stop asking.

This is a great point. It's true that there's a wealth of good information out there. But there's so much bad information that we now struggle with a signal vs noise problem. If you don't have enough context and knowledge yet to make the distinction, it's very easy to go down a wild goose chase. Having access to an expert in the field who can mentor and direct you is invaluable.

That said, what I probably should have said is the capability to go GHG neutral. I believe that France has more domestic nuclear capacity than its domestic electrical conception.

So now you have to manage both the core software and the hosted version.

Whereas your competitor just needs to build a hosted version, use the core you provide for free, thereby having a fraction of the expense and the ability to undercut you on price.

You have to realize going in that once you try to monetize your open source, some of your users become your competitors. They’ll tell you how great you are, while cashing checks off your hard work.
It’s not great. There are ~2 broad categories of language based on their use of affixes: analytic (which doesn’t make much use of affixes, instead relying on word order), and synthetic (which does use affixes). Synthetic has multiple sub-categories depending on how the affixes are used.

This approach completely ignores analytic languages which put their complexity in word order instead of affixes, and it ignores the distinctions within synthetic languages such as agglutinating, which stacks up affixes vs fusional, which combines multiple affixes into a single new affix.

It also misinterprets what people mean when they say languages which collide “reduce complexity” which really means they tend to become more analytic. Nobody expected the Scandinavian languages to have this characteristic because they’ve been in the process of diverging from a common language.

The process they’re referencing applies to languages which come from the collision of distinct languages, such as pidgins and creoles. The hypothesized tendency is for languages which have had consistent boundaries and populations for a long period of time to be more agglutinating then eventually fusional, and eventually polysynthetic like some Native American languages, where a single word can be translated to a complete sentence in English for instance

Edit: corrected for distinction between fusional and synthetic

The purpose of Manifest V3 is to be less capable. uBOL, implementing this, is less capable by design.

This won't be remedied because it is the point of Manifest V3. Google is an ad company. The next step is the Web Integrity API, where the website can block you if you have even uBOL.
a new, popular library for basic functionality (converting between annotation formats, evaluating models, doing object tracking) has been supervision: https://github.com/roboflow/supervision
State tracking is up. Fundamental = product of (prime)^(number of squares in the row), where the blue squares are 2, green 3, yellow 5, red 7. Let me know if this interface can be improved, such as by bolder colors or better explanations.

I didn't find a good way to implement absolute frequency without the rest of the visualization too, since it has to store and show "what were the last notes I just played", so the user can compare their frequencies to the current note options. So I don't have an idea for an easy-to-implement design here.
For what it's worth, compaction with my mark-region GC for SBCL follows "An algorithm for parallel incremental compaction" <https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/773039.512442> which instead logs all references to the objects we want to move while tracing, rather than using forwarding pointers. Well, not quite - the runtime likes to eagerly copy lists to get them contiguous after copying, and so we still use forwarding pointers to avoid copying cons cells twice.

(The mutator also won't ever see forwarding pointers regardless, if you have a STW GC. And if that GC works.)
Those are great examples, thank you for spending the time to make them.

I think that some codebases can lend themselves to be read more than others. Consider for example GNU cat[0] vs. Plan9's[1], from which one can infer the overall readability of the two projects.

In particular, codebases who are composed of small, well-isolated components, can be read one chunk at a time, like a book. But I wouldn't be surprised for most "professional grade" codebases to consist of organic, "cluttered" aggregate. Which, as you observe, aren't really suited to be read, even more so linearly.

It also depends on one's intents, which are likely narrower in a professional setting (e.g. fixing a bug, implementing a feature; refactoring being a notable exception), than in a learning setting (e.g. learning how to write idiomatic parsers in Go by studying the Go parser itself). In this last case, curiosity might push you to read the code more deeply, compare different codebases, etc.

Finally, some languages also are more prone to enforce locality than others, impacting readability. See for example Linus arguing about C being more context-free than C++ [2].

Recently I developed a presentation* about immutability as a design concept in computer security. As part of it, I have slides which cover Certificate Transparency implementation[0], which uses Trillian[1] as a distributed ledger. Part of Trillian's documentation includes a Firmware Transparency[2] example. For the year or so I've been aware of it, I've thought that it's a great idea, and wondered if it would ever grow as a project/practice. Digging through the links in this announcement, it appears Trillian is the basis for the distributed ledger here. Glad to see the idea has been taken further by Google!

* Sorry, the presentation is non-public.

all of the bubble sorts i tried compiling in this thread ended up being compiled to code with either conditional branches or (on arm thumb-2) a couple of conditionalized stores. but conditional stores don't require a pipeline flush, and it is of course perfectly correct that insertion sort depends on its inner loop having an unpredictable branch to get better performance on almost-sorted data, which bubble sort does not
