Low level-capable languages need GC lifecycle hooks and replacements similar to Rust alloc, but flexible enough to plug in BWS, ORCA, or DIY.

I also think the semantics of shared and unshared const and mutable state need to be made explicit. Pony is very good about this more so than Rust by bringing into the language.
As Gothamist previously reported, the water in question has been treated and filtered with charcoal and resin, which removes metals and chloride. But it still contains low levels of tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen and a byproduct of nuclear fission.

From the little I know, this is a common practice at nuclear plants and is probably way less dangerous than it sounds. I remember reading about another big plant talking about a business risk being regulation of tritium in the water, basically implying they need to be able to discharge water that has trace tritium. I don't know enough to have a strong opinion but I'd want to make sure it's clearly bad as opposed to just detectable before taking a side.
Not without wealth, they won't. The individual, without some means to exert their influence, cannot expend it over distance.

Using that influence requires both wealth and power, and both are typically held by a tiny percentage at the top of their societies. Whether they've got a million or a billion people, the total numbers are only meaningful if those people have the wealth to, say, purchase goods.

Otherwise, they are just a production resource for those at the top.

>>More specifically, the new Android safety measure uses public cryptographic logs—digital bookkeeping systems—to show what a Pixel installation should look like. Entries can be appended to these logs when new software is released, but they can't be changed or deleted. In other words, any unauthorized edits are going to stand out.

The logs use what's known as a Merkle tree to maintain the integrity of the records within them, a cryptographic structure that speeds up the process of checking large amounts of data for any tampering. The approach means that much smaller portions of data can be analyzed to identify whether or not any changes have been made.<<

Questions were about the various ways a phone can be helpful in parenting. Parents rated it as very helpful, so they might say that, metaphorically, they wouldn't know how to parent without one.

This reminds me of Lebron James' son Bronny suffering cardiac arrest. Fortunately he survived.

He's so young he may not have been screened properly. But a lot of people have difficulty affording to be screened.

There are different types of screening and Theranos was going to help society with some of it, but of course we all know how that went, and it probably set back advances in screening with technology.

Screening needs to become cheaper and more convenient. It's within YC's Request for Startups: https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs#healthcare
"Maybe if Photoshop and MS Word used the same dedicated underlying binary/application to read and process the png"

The unix philosophy is to do one thing and do it well, it doesn't need to conform with expectations about each binary achieving low-level tasks.

What even would be "reading and processing pngs"? Sounds like a dumb technical way to divide responsibilities. I rather have responsibilities of apps be user-defined like "editing images" and "writing documents".

The unix philosophy precedes the development of the UNIX ecosystem, it's anachronistic to understand an OS based on how applications ended up interpreting it.

It's like conflating a constitution of a country for its laws.

I think economic growth is the wrong metric to be measuring as it is a number which we ourselves have created, and if we say today there are 10 trillion and tomorrow there are 1,000 trillion it doesn't REALLY change anything.

This doesn't map to the idea of comparing the number of dollars in the economy to the number of atoms in the galaxy. Dollars are not finite, we can make them up, and have been.

Yes, our technological progress has been increasing exponentially, but what suggests there is an upper bound to knowledge? Can all things be known? When all things are known, what does that mean for us?

At that point, we'll be able to answer if we're operating in a simulation or not, and with that knowledge, what do we do then?
I'm also pro-choice, but this argument isn't very convincing to me. We don't apply the same logic to murder, theft or even drugs, so why apply it to abortion?

as someone whose gone through a McKinsey "agile transformation", I'd not listen to a single thing McKinsey says about software development

the company has now realised and is now rolling back everything they did

but sadly lost probably 2/3rds of its good developers in the process
This feels like the modern equivalent of Malthusian theory. Many people have had similar thoughts throughout much of history, but human prosperity has always prevailed. Knowledge is infinite, and as long as there is new knowledge to seek, things are never going to stagnate or be over. Atoms have never been the limiting factor, it's been knowledge on what to do with them.

There's a house down the street from me who had a "free stuff" pile sitting outside for a month or two. Just a few things, but they got replenished over time, and I'm sure the ones that were never picked up went to the trash, so overall it seemed like it worked. We got some nice still-packaged outlets and dimmer switches from it.
We are not in the audience, the audience is any organization that needs to manage and understand the output of software engineers, but does not have the necessary technical ability to do this.

If I’m understanding them correctly, their pitch is basically “pay us a lot of money to teach you some basic software engineering concepts, and don’t use dumb metrics like LoC produced per day.”

I think paying McKinsey prices to get this is a poor value, but it would probably improve most software engineering management.
Technically you were right, the game is Epic ;)

"Sure, you could prepare for imagined eventualities, or you could do the actual work of improving efficiency, reducing waste and unnecessary middle-men, and removing centuries old bureaucracies that are now absurdly pointless in the face of the internet.

What I don’t agree with is the implication that a willingness to play pranks automatically equates to a willingness to lie to congress/the American people.

As a thought experiment, imagine for a moment that these UAPs are real phenomena and of non-human origin.

Given the pop culture behaviors about UFOs - specifically those of skepticism and rolling one’s eyes at true believers - it’s not hard to imagine that this would be considered funny, and ultimately harmless (even if ill advised).

Now he’s flying a mission and see presumably the real thing. “Shiiiit, nobody’s going to believe me now after those pranks”.

Could he be fabricating all of this? Or at least intentionally sharing misleading information? Possibly. But it’s also not hard to imagine a completely earnest version of this playing out.

I just don’t see the direct connection between the prior behavior and this public testimony.
I'm torn. On the one hand, there are many websites I hate interacting with because they are unnecessarily structured as JS clients exchanging data with a remote server via a network link. On the other hand, it's easier for me to develop libraries and CLI clients of my own, these days getting quite far with Firefox dev tools' network view and "copy as curl," and only occasionally having to actually read the code in those JS clients. In the old days, I would have to resort to some ugly and comparatively brittle page scraping.

This new world sucks for the interactive user in a browser (which is me often enough), but it's great for the guy who wants to treat a website as just a remote provider of some kind of data or service (also me often enough).

Full static typing alleviates this greatly, allowing you to pass in what you have now and decide to refactor later if/when you need to.

For example, if you remove a field that's still needed, you'll receive a type error, eliminating the problem of losing track of use cases.

The amount lost by America (if at all) is not equal to the Amount gained by China. So it is not re-distribution.

Yeah, it's interesting, but I think it's not a huge loss. Early 3D games have aged very badly, while many from the 2D era are still perfectly playable. So a higher res 2D followup might have actually been better.
The main issue is when the developers inevitably find out that story points completed are how they're evaluated.

Because in the current situation, they can’t be forcibly housed unless they prove to be a danger. They can’t just be swept up and incarcerated. Nobody is taking away their pets unless they are trying to go to a shelter that has a no-pets policy (often for good reason).

Hell, I know a behavioral health supervisor who has an angry patient wielding a machete come to their office and the police didn’t think it warranted taking them in. I feel like this is a made up false dichotomy that society either needs to create homeless internment camps or give away free housing, no questions asked. It’s a bad faith narrative.
It's about compensating the news agencies for the lack of ad income they get from people following links because of the summaries. If every summary has a similar click through rate then using the clicks through to distribute the news dollars makes sense. It's just assuming that 1 in 10[0] people who see the summary click through, so they use that to compensate for the other 9.

The galaxy is a big place. We may stagnate a bit, but if we can cross the interplanetary threshold, I think it's smooth sailing to galactic growth.
A moment ago you seemed awfully anxious to defend a movement and a style of behavior, both of which I took care to specify by name and close description respectively. Now you disclaim both? I don't know who you're arguing with, but apparently it is not me.
The article is pretty terrible all around. You have to get to the last sentence before they throw in the detail that it's not actually an Ironman race -- it's a half-iron. I wouldn't mind it so much in a general-interest source, but ESPN writers of all people should know the difference and should sweat even the immaterial details. A "so-called" half-iron? No that's actually what it is. No need for the "so-called".
Perhaps I'm arrogant, shortsighted and asinine. On the other hand, maybe it isn't so crazy to think that patterns of language do in some way represent thought and feeding lots of written language into a language model that is designed to mimic the process of expressing ideas in the way that the brain synthesizes new ways of expressing things based on it's experience, isn't a process completely different than what humans are doing when they study and then write.

That isn't to say that the computer knows what it is doing and it isn't to say that the computer isn't going to produce a lot of nonsense. But even random markov chain babbling will sometimes produce interesting sentences that make you stop and think. The meaning is in the mind of the reader.

If we think of LLMs as a large mixing pot that combines ideas from vast numbers of written sources in what is often mundane, but may occasionally spark a thought or an imaginative creative leap that humans haven't yet made, they become just another tool that humans can use to think and sometimes see things differently.

This method has the drawback to loose energy (with heat!) to convert motion (windmill) to electricity, and then electricity back to motion (heat pump stator). This post talks about the idea of mechanical heat pumps to avoid those losses and cite two papers that back his claims.

We shall not be blind on the many avantages of electricity but on a pure efficiency scale converting motion to heat is a better idea than motion to (electricity and heat) to (motion and heat) to heat.

How has the difference been between using Debian and Ubuntu on personal laptops?
Capitalism. I know. I know. but hear me out.

Current dynamics for publicly listed companies doom them to provide growth every year - but not only does growth get harder every year - especially when the demographic curve tilts downwards, it also becomes more expensive. 3 nm chips are orders of magnitude harder to improve upon them 5mn chips for example.

VW Dieselgate, Explosing Samsung Phones, CPU Branch prediction vulnerabilities, Boeing planes dropping from the skies, all have things in common - large industry players that have reached serious growth limits and act under pressure to deliver it anyway.

But shareholder doesn’t care. So your only choice eventually for businesses that can’t be improved upon effectively enough to maintain growth (eventually all of them) is to be innovative with fees and, if you’ve monopolized something, exploit that.

Enshittification is built into the system. All good things must become shit over time.
Indeed. Sports involve risk, and competition is about learning to navigate those risks. This implies a right to self-destruction. Without this sports are void of courage and competence, and their value is greatly diminished.
It’s probably referencing the “iron” in Ironman. So it’s not attached the wrong story. It’s just an off-topic, nonsensical unfunny attempt at a joke.

Ponder that.

It does feel that in 2023 (= the remote future) the ambition to explore the full phase space of digital technology has flatlined in the face of oppressive "reality". False representations, enshittification, exploitation, dependency instead of bold visions of empowerment and augmentation.

Yet future generations might revisit these visions, implement them in non-conforming software and reap the benefits that were denied to us. Thus documenting them in detail acts like these seed banks in the Arctic.

> There is also the growth that comes in spurts from technological innovations. Those spurts should be amortized across the entire ranges of years that follow them when assessing the resultant growth.

Technological spurts ultimately drive productivity and the latter in turn drives growth. Why do these spurts need to be amortized across longer periods of time? Especially when many have compounding effects?
Which is a very bad solution! Imagine cutting a video to remove some very privacy sensitive material, and some of those frames still ending up in the file, just not viewed because in theory the video file politely asks the player to skip until a later timestamp.

I'd for sure rather have tools that actually do what they claim to do. Using container metadata tricks feels to me as lazy and misleading to the user.
That would work the other way—with non-college educated people becoming more democrat. Instead, you see the opposite: college educated people becoming more democrat after historically favoring republicans, and non-college educated people becoming more Republican after historically favoring democrats.

Also, on the issues you mention (abortion and taxes) the GOP is more moderate than before. Trump is the first GOP candidate ever to oppose total abortion bans. He also was the first to take entitlement reform off the table.
There are many who choose this way instead of long fight with dementia.
Ah ok. So the server keeps track of what the client should look like and just keeps it up to date?

If so that sounds like a very nice model that would make it a lot easier to get back to just using simple HTML and delegate the complexity to the framework or server process. Are there other projects beside Blazor that use this type of approach?
> The industry consumes as much electricity as Britain—and rising

I'd rather have datacenters than entirety of britain so I think that's easy tradeoff to make.

Would be nice if the author had noted which are reserved vs which aren't, they're mixed in his list. Reserved might be a "formality" but it can be it's good to know which are informal vs. reserved since in some use cases you might want to follow the IANA, and it's generally a good idea to be aware of what rules you're breaking. There's a list here for reference:

100%. To take it a step further -- we can also find more efficient forms of energy (e.g. nuclear energy), and get more energy / economic growth while using fewer atoms.
FWIW, that's why I left.
> 1. It gives a range of 3 permissible options. If one of these "permissible" options is "you can do anything", what are the other 2 options doing on that list?

Before the list it clearly says, "behavior, [... when UB occurs elided ...], for which the Standard imposes no requirements."

How can it both impose no requirements, yet simultaneously impose a requirement that it come out of that list of three options?

> That this somehow (how?) means "I can do anything" is purely your interpretation.

Purely mine?
