1. If that cop shot every knife wielding attacker in the leg in the whole wide world he would be no closer to Hitler regardless of the scale, if Hitler only gassed a few Jews he would be no closer to being a cop trying to stop an aggressive action regardless of scale, this point makes no sense.

2. Hitler was factually wrong about the universe, explain. Had he successfully created his utopia are you saying he would have been factually right about the universe, and thus justified? See, I prefer the a deontalogocal approach where Hitler is wrong because he initiated violence against peaceful people, no happy ending could justify his actions.

She recently suddenly passed away (climbing accident), which is pretty weird considering this article and how it ends.
I'm speaking autobiopically, to clarify.
I don't see why not. It's not taking a single answer from a database no, it's taking several based on probability and merging them into what it thinks we're looking for. If you learn to multiply with code to perform one task, you can then apply that knowledge for a completely different task. It may look like solving a completely new problem but the LLM doesn't even see the difference.

When you use the term "custom library" that might be you over-complicating the task. It's still just looking up function to do x, function to do y and applying it to the output. Don't get me wrong it's impressive where we're at but there's no need to exaggerate it as magic.

We are choosing between Darling and using Mac instances in AWS for validation of ClickHouse builds: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/15609

The fact that Darling requires a kernel module makes it quite challenging to use. But the task is open, and I check it once a year.

Overall I'm highly impressed that this is even possible!

Also, I had another idea for builds validation - use a custom version of libc and compiler flags to make the API and ABI on Linux similar to what is on Mac. For example, to make uint64_t unsinged long long instead of unsigned long.
I can speak for Adobe- Adobe employees have work accounts with full access to the Adobe suite, an internal web portal to get annual free licenses for their personal accounts, and an internal web store to purchase heavily discounted licenses to gift to friends and family. No one within Adobe is pirating Photoshop.

Anecdotally, I had a friend at Microsoft hook me up with discount Windows OEM licenses for my PC builds and it seemed similarly easy to get licenses.

Not to invalidate your experience in any way but I think it is a special case of walking in any big city you have never been before. As long as it is sufficiently dense/walkable and you don't need to fear being robbed, it's magical. Taipei, Seoul, Bangkok, you name it...
Yes but resolution and coherence matters. A map that says "here be dragons" is not high resolution. A map that misidentifies or misses parts is incoherent. The brain is not physical (as explained above), and cannot be captured in a sufficiently high resolution map that only studies substance and its interactions. Since we have no access to the formwork, we will always have missing data, that hampers our ability to create such a coherent map.

Thank you for staying engaged, it's helping me see my position more clearly.

We're using our own CRDT called "Operations" giving us multi-writer conflict-free editing. It's a simple key/value map with a last-write win rule while we keep some sort of vector clock for every write to understand what every peer has seen when they updated the Document.

This might be limiting for some cases, though so far we could model many applications already with such simple CRDT. It is also possible to add your own or already existing CRDT frameworks on top of p2panda.

I'm not sure who the intended audience is for this post, but if it's the general programmer audience I have several suggestions:

1. Explain what the project is right at the start. I had to go to the main website to find out (run macOS software on Linux.)

2. Follow with a high-level summary. What does all this work mean for the user? Can I now run more software than I could previously?

3. Put the most important things first. Is updating your blog really the most important thing you've achieved in the last four years?
> It is a 15 minute trip by car, but an hour by bus+train

I have the same issue. Due to location and geography I'm looking at a 90 minut bus ride, with at least one change of bus. If I need to drop the kid of at daycare, you can add 30 minuts, because I have to get of and wait for the next bus.

So I'd have to leave at 6:00 to be at work at around 8:00, I then need to leave no later than 15:30, pick up the kid at 17:00 and be home at 17:30, assuming that everything lines up perfectly. There's nothing left of the day and my child has spend 10 hours in daycare... and I haven't worked a full eight hours. It's a 15 minute drive to the office.

Powershell is immensely better. It takes what Unix promises and delivers it, without all the pain.

Eg:

C:\Windows> (Get-AuthenticodeSignature .\explorer.exe).SignerCertificate.Subject
CN=Microsoft Windows, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US
C:\Windows>

Think of doing that in classic Unix. How does that command output a tree shaped structure, where items have sub-items? How do you parse that? How do you make sure that your parsing doesn't get confused by the presence of an unexpected = or :? How do you deal with that maybe some certificates have extensions?

Oh, we actually have commands that do that sort of thing, GPG does it.

Newcomen invented his steam engine around 1712, and Watt’s steam engines were a thing of the 1760s to 1800 when his patent expired.
Generally, from what I've seen, for all of the practical programming examples, an `F[A]` (for F covariant) can be considered to be a type that produces zero-or-more `A`s. Thought of properly, F maps types of values to some type of producer of values, and morphisms to postcomposition of the underlying function. F contravariant maps types to some type of consumer for that type and morphisms to precomposition.

I've seen people make analogies for covariant functors as containers (typical programming jargon using "functor" to mean the values of the types F[A]), but that's not quite right because of things like Future and IO. But containers are producers (they can produce the values they contain), so that characterization seems to work.

It's possible that what I mean can be turned into a statement like "all functors used in programming are representable", but I'm not sure.

Liquid hydrogen or ammonia are both very much feasible and carbon-free.

Both Yanmar and Kawasaki are developing large marine four-stroke piston engines for hydrogen, with 2025 as launch date.

Ammonia-fuelled piston engines are easy, their only problem is idling due to the poor combustion properties of ammonia, which you can solve in the pragmatic way by using a little hydrocarbons during idle - combined with power from shore during docking, that still gets you >95% emission reductions.
Civilian nuclear-powered cargo ships have actually been tried in the past, a large issue was that a lot of ports refused them entry if I remember correctly.

I'm now running impermanence on NixOS servers. Setting it up was slightly more work, obviously, but it's been... freeing in a sense. My confidence that I can rebuild all servers at any time and that all the peculiarities of my setup are documented have never been higher.

Rather than using a script for setup, I am using disko [0] with nixos-anywhere [1] and a small home-grown script that integrates with 1Password for deployments and it's wonderful, because everything including disk formatting is now purely declarative.

> You are reading way more into his comment than I think was intended or implied.

You're likely correct (I'm unable to find the original context of the comment), but it's rarely employed with its original context. Indeed, I was more trying to say that I disliked the quotation itself (and how it can be used) than whatever Stroustrup meant by it.

> C++ is one of the most successful programming languages in history. There is a reason why.

And I said as much in my comment.

(I would also point out that some of the reasons may not be good reasons. But some certainly are!)

> Stroustrup has spent much of his career working to improve C++.

To improve the current situation, we may want to abandon C++ altogether for new programs rather than stubbornly hold on to it.

(In the back of my mind is Stroustrup's recent reaction to the NSA report on memory safety.)

I'm under no illusion that programmers will begin formally proving properties of their programs, as interested as I am in that. But people seem to rarely avail themselves of the tools that help them write correct C++, and rarely manage to use only modern C++, which suggests we may want to simply let go of it. Or radically change it – making safety features opt-out rather than opt-in.
I don't think anyone is talking here about going without antibiotics or modern agriculture. More like curbing excess production of concrete (making construction more sustainable) and metals (reducing automobilism and other wasteful means of transport).
The UK has a long intellectual tradition which creates a steady stream of creative and capable engineers. Capital however is predominately held via inherited wealth and its controllers want rentier incomes with low risk. As a consequence there is low appetite for risky new ventures and those that want to undertake them mostly migrate elsewhere. What's left is a stock market dominated by octogenarian+ dianosaurs, a decaying rump of manufacturing, a finance sector that mostly makes its bread laundering the capital of the world's corrupt and corruptors and a tiny creative industry that clings on despite suffering through waves of either government neglect, or worse yet, government interest.
I mean, sure, terminals make some sense.

But why are we in 2023, and people are still coming up with fancier versions of "top" that try to draw graphs in text? Every modern computer boots to a graphical console. Every terminal emulator in a GUI runs in a graphical environment. Wouldn't be be much nicer and much less awkward to actually use pixels?
I wonder if you could use this hack to enable stereo audio and turn off all the audio processing, which you can't fully do in the settings.
Thank you for this! We've heard that feedback from other people as well and totally agree. It's true that it is hard to explain what p2panda really is: It is three things at the same time: 1. a protocol specification 2. a reference implementation and 3. an SDK. We can do better at separating these worlds, maybe by giving it different names or a better website. End of our current funding period we dedicated some time for an overhaul.

I was aware of the possibility of just using tmpfs, but I went with ZFS for / anyway for mostly one reason: I can erase root on every boot, but still keep snapshots of the last few boots.

This reminds me of how the Game Boy displayed the Nintendo logo on boot up: The logo is a bitmap in the cartridge, the Game Boy displays it and only continues if the checksum matches the Nintendo logo. The point of this is that trademark should prevent the use of the Nintendo logo bitmap in unlicensed games, basically doing DRM through trademark. (It didn't really work, since companies would design their own logos such that they had the same checksum as the Nintendo logo)
I live in San Marino, let me chime in!

The historic center, which is called San Marino Città, is a gorgeous medieval town and it's also part of UNESCO heritage. I definitely recommend a trip there, if you happen to be somewhere near.

When I went to school there, I regularly missed the bus so I had the chance of doing a few walks down to my home. It's a bit steep, since the town is located at the top of mount Titano at 700m of height, but it's truly charming.

The realization a self-driving car is not infinitely exciting is how bubbles pop. This particular bubble was formed mostly by Tesla hyping up the coming of their fleet of millions of robotaxis that will turn every other car immediately obsolete, “like owning a horse”, and Teslas will 100x in price, and Tesla will be the most valuable company in the world. And all that, over a product they still can’t ship (and won’t).

The reality of robotaxis is that they’re happening but gradually, not overnight. There will be problems, also benefits. And it’ll be an OK business. And humans will be kicked out of another job only they could do.

In a way it’s not good news. It’s bad news. Because we think not being able to work this or that means we’ll be given more responsibility at a higher level. But we’re still apes barely qualified to drive a car. How does that magically make us capable of higher jobs? It doesn’t. As robots do more, the expectations of humans are also to do more. And most will fail.

IMO, all technology in the computer space are ideas. Unix is one that is intentional about it. I view creating a different software program as a "technological argument". Ultimately, almost everything a computer is is a set of agreements (or a standard, a special type of agreement). A programming language is one, the ISAs of the popular CPU companies are one (and the fact that they are popular), all the way to the interfaces of software.
I direct newbies to Kubuntu; I've never had anyone struggle with using it - modern KDE is an incredibly intuitive experience - and any tech support is easy as they're pretty much on stock Ubuntu.
