The rich and powerful need everyone to use any such tech, even if only to find the edge cases where it doesn't work right.

That the USA has a seriously messed up healthcare system and declining life expectancy is a problem for the USA, and part of the reason I didn't move there.
Like others here I met the Transputer at university (with Occam) and was amazed. Occam is not that much of an abstraction over the Transputer as it does quite a lot in microcode, including not really having an execution stack but a tree formed of workspace pointers. This means the processor itself keeps track of multiple tasks so when one is blocked (by also microcoded message channel i/o) the next one in the list is jumped to. That fits very well with occam which prefers procedures to communicate via channels rather than returning values.

Those message channels could be local to that Transputer or via a link to another one. From the code point of view it looked the same and the difference was handled again in microcode.

The shocking thing is how simple this all seemed to be with the exception of the implementation of ALT (the equivalent to select in golang, waiting on multiple channels).
See my other comment. On modern trains, the emergency lever doesn’t stop the train anymore but let you speak to the conductor. The train will only stop if you don’t speak for several seconds or in case of a real emergency.

And tbh, I just can’t see which sort of emergency can happen inside the train that would require an immediate full stop. Even if something life threatening is happening inside, the best option is to call and meet the emergency services in the next station.
> In the US, at least for the frequently-used free software licenses, acceptance is by conduct. The license is irrevocable once even partial performance has occurred. Third-party rights depend on the wording. Orders for specific performance are rarely granted but are theoretically possible. You won't get legal costs awarded, and exclusion of liability is likely to be valid.

> In the UK, where many free-software licenses are probably just bare licenses, no acceptance is required for a defense against an infringement claim. The license is revocable by the licensor until the licensee has relied on it. No third-party rights exist. Orders for specific performance are not available. The award of legal costs is discretionary but may happen, and liability exclusion is generally enforceable.

> In the EU acceptance can be by any means, including conduct. The license is probably irrevocable. Third-party rights do exist, and specific performance is available. Nothing was said about legal costs, and liability exclusion is possible but is subject to the the requirements of proportionality and consumer protection.

I don't think it's unreasonable to boil this down to a "yes". Particularly given (1) LegalZoom is presumably American, where, in isolation, the answer is likely "yes"; (2) if licenses are considered contracts in any region in which you do business, you should probably consider them contracts, just to be safe.
Any other resources you recommend?
If they were built, then where did the money to build them come from?
Sorry, with greed i was referring to those who sell the houses.

In 08, greed was the real estate agents and loan officers who gave loans to people who should never have had them when it was clear they couldn't afford it long run.

The home buyers many times just wanted a house but also wanted "more home" to maximize and was able to obtain a larger loan because the greed went all the way down.

first time trickle down economy works?
Been discussed on hacker news before.

I think it’s good to highlight the presence of PFAS in straws, but I don’t think the conclusion is that paper straws are bad. I seriously doubt that it contributes to significantly more PFAS in our body or in nature.

We should be banning use of PFAS in general, and set stricter requirements for testing materials that are replacing them.
I think you are right, probably some service like kinesis of kafka that is keeping them in sync. that 'doesn't count'
No, the whole public transit system shuts down sometime after midnight. At that point, you can either walk, ride a bicycle (there are rental/bikeshare bikes available), or take a taxi.
So: just that: you don't need to do anything beyond pulling the lever to get the train to stop. The override is that you say everything is ok, but if you do not the train will absolutely stop.

This is to ensure that if the driver / conductor is incapacitated the train will still come to a halt. And that in turn is because runaway trains have happened.
Obviously they're arguing from a pragmatic point of view, as opposed to one in which we (some) software engineers somehow control reality and successfully impose that's ideal to them.
The sequence of tones to influence telephone switchboards were known as well. It was the origin of hacking. This may be an easy hack, but it still is one.

BTW, it's good that attention is being called to it. There is a bit of tension in the region, as you may know, and opponents are not going to play nice. That also makes me suspect this was not a malicious attack.
> On the other hand, due to advancements in trading tech, I've seen commissions drop to zero. I've see better price discovery available to professional and retail traders and there has been a lot of people introduced to stock markets because it was accessible via their phone.

Enabling more people to move to the rent-seeking class is not really a net benefit to humanity. I would argue it’s quite the opposite.
> When reading, say English, we don't really sound through each word but recognize the shape as you say

Apparently, some people do and some people don't; and each category is surprised the other exists. I'd be curious to know if the "visual" category is more prevalent for ideogram-based writing systems.

> my opinion is probably biased but I find Japanese to be so homophonous

It's difficult to evaluate what "so" means here, but it seems to me that homophony is made a bigger problem in this thread than it really is.

For instance, in French, we have words that have many homophones. For instance there is "vert" (green) "ver" (worm) "verre" (glass) "vair" (a type of squirrel) "vers" (the "to" conjunction) "vers" (verse) "verrent","verre" (conjugations of a very rare verb that means "to pounce" - probably most French speakers don't even know it; if you use it in a sentence their speech recognition module will probably segfault).

There's also common homophones "père" (father) and "paire" (pair) and "pair" (peer as in P2P), "mère" (mother) and "mer" (sea), "serre" (greenhouse) and "serre" (talon) and "sert" (conjugation of serve), "je suis" ("I am") and "je suis" ("I follow").

Some of these homophones double as homographs, as you can see. They are all "strict" homophones BTW, as we don't have distinctions between short and long vowels like English has, for instance.

But both in written and spoken language, grammar and context usually disambiguate the meaning - if any. Based on that observation, it seems to me it wouldn't be more difficult to figure which "kami" it is than which "vers" it is (worms, conjunction or verse), unless the sentence is specifically designed for that purpose.

Amusingly, the homophones "vair" and "verre" led to a small quarrel in the 19th century about what were the shoes of Cinderella made of - fur or glass? People who want to show off sometimes bring that up, because "vair" is a rarely used word [1].

If I remember it right, only 1 ptrace can be attached. So this seems easy to fix:. Just ptrace yourself, and nobody else will.

As a bonus, write important state to memory supposed to be read-only. If someone hooked your ptrace, the hook has to reimplement ptrace in a lot more detail. Or use breakpoints as a mechanism to call subroutines.
An autocratic government running a fiat currency economy is a dangerous thing. On the one hand they can engineer the economy quite deeply. On the other hand, the imbalances are hidden and thus likely to be worse then they would ever be in a liberal democracy. But China has many centuries of track record running a command economy.

Yeah the main thing is - terminology aside - if you can easily bring a nation's rail network to a standstill then that's a bit of a problem.
If disabling car remotely in specific area is the same as turning off the ignition key in these cars/using the parking brake, then yes. As the information how to do that should not be public and was not meant to be used be anyone, but only by authorized people (technology from 70') it's kind of hack. Exactly as using the Blue boxes[1] to hack telephone networks

> I could just as easily see the CIA doing it, because everyone knows that the CIA wants to have the world blame Russia for evil things in order to distract from the CIA's vast litany of evil things.

I don't think the CIA needs to do anything to have the world blame Russia. Russia itself is already doing a very good job in this regard.

And if Russia is the enemy de jour (better, de la décennie), it can only blame itself.
With that context, it lands completely differently, definitely. Thanks for explaining and being so understanding.
Yeah, a lot of people really don't get how useful fractional measures can be for building and construction, or other tasks. You can do like 99% of the math required to build a residential home completely in your head, even if you aren't great at math to start with. You could even forgo a tape measure completely and build the house using a piece of wood with a mark to give a standard length and then doing all the rest with a piece of string you fold over for ratios of that length.

It even was really useful when I was making patterns and molds for industrial ceramics. Half the orders would be in metric, half would be in imperial, but was 90% of the time converted to imperial by everybody whenever possible despite knowing both systems because it was much faster to get work done using ratios of standard fractional sizes. Need more precision? Divide your unit in half how many times you needed.
I wasn't trying to attack you, I was merely curious whether you specifically picked the username to clearly signal your stance or whether it was a coincidence.
This is a hilarious misinterpretation of history. Imagine if the nazis hadn't been beaten back during the Beer Hall Putsch.

If you can level a criticism at violence during the Weimer Republic, it's that is was too unfocused, with monarchists, social democrats and communists (who, indeed, were the original organization structure known as "Antifaschistische Aktion", or colloquially, Antifa) all beating each other up as much as they did nazis.
> The earth is not overpopulated nor in danger of being so.

Depends how you look at it; from a "how much food can we grow" perspective, it's possible to put up hydroponics etc. everywhere (with enough effort) and feed a trillion.

Conversely, if you want to "solve" climate change with a reduced population (rather than rolling out new tech) the maximum sustainable number of humans is about 8 million at today's per-capita average emissions level.

"Maximum" is all about the tech and what it can let us do.
You definitely have a point and more or less agree.

However this is one of the many reasons why there are housing shortages in many areas.

That probably depends on the legal systems in question.
> Lack of Precompiled Header support kills this for us immediately.

Out of curiosity, why do you use precompiled headers? I mean,the standard usecase is to improve build times, and a compiler cache already does that and leads to greater gains. Are you using precompiled headers for some other usecase?

These are mostly business issues. If the business problems would be solved, the games would be built, despite any technical limitations of the web platform (which are not much different than limitations on low-end Android mobile devices).

Nobody has figured out so far how to make money with high quality games on the "open web" to get the same return on investment like simple ad-driven 2D games running on closed platforms like Facebook which can technically be cobbled together by 3 dudes in their mom's basemement (exaggerating a bit here of course).

E.g. no matter how you approach it, the Citadel demo wouldn't have led to a web game that would make the same profit relative to the development cost like a simple ad-driven Tetris style game.
On a modern train, if you activate the button and the driver doesn't react at all, it will eventually stop the train, but the driver gets a few moments to decide what to do, and in a lot of cases their decision is going to be explicitly "Don't stop" because of the disproportionate number of inadvertent or malicious activations.

On the tube, where (aside from a handful of long distance expresses e.g. to/from Amersham) your train is going to stop at a station anyway in the next couple of minutes they have notices explaining to people that the best way to get e.g. medical assistance is going to be to get off the train at a station, where they can help you, not stay on it and push the emergency button hoping somehow assistance magically teleports to a moving train.
I don't even know what papers straws try to solve other than becoming a meme for opponents of environmentalism. If the lids are still plastic, just have a sipping hole there just like with coffee.
Which narrow subset in particular, and why do you say that?

This seems inevitable from a software engineering perspective. Automobile software/firmware sounds HARD. There are so many simultaneous, multi-factor processes being controlled, and mostly with firmware, and all the stories coming out of teams responsible for automobile software/firmware indicate that their level of competence is roughly what you would expect if the technical leadership is hired by managers who's background is in the unrelated field of automobiles.

I bet that our lives are largely spared at this time only through the competence of the automobile QA discipline.
> One does not require permission from the copyright holder merely to use software one already possesses, so long as one does not distribute it.

This seems right but also wrong.

I mean it would mean that I have the right to own and use illegal movie copies, as long as I don't further distribute them. Which AFIK isn't the case.
Perl is not nicer to use.
Did you use the pi calculus derived parts of the language at all? I only ever stuck to the classic CSP occam 2.
The term is 'security by obscurity' and it doesn't work. Because it's only a few bits of information and once documented it is a matter of time before the data is out there.

In this case: the data is the same for large swaths of the former USSR so it isn't strange at all that an enemy actor has access to that information. Poland could do the exact same thing to Russia. But I hope they have better ethics.
I can see this.

About 4: I think Fortran looks quite like C when it comes to the CPU architecture. Both are somewhat low level procedural languages.

As long as C works well on future CPUs, Fortran is probably fine and I don't see C disappear overnight. At least, Fortran compilers can be updated to produce reasonable code for new CPUs. Which should happen because of the shared compiler architecture (backend).

About 5: GPUs architectures seem less stable and seem to require specific development. If those specific developments require language support, that's probably not coming to Fortran if the assumption is that Fortran is going maintenance-only.

About 6: advances in computing technology are not restricted to CPUs and GPUs.

(disclaimer: I've only seen Fortran code from far away. And code targeted to GPUs too).
Note that recent low birthrate i.e. (2) does not immediately map to shrinking real estate demands: young people born 20-30 years ago are still moving to cities, looking for a job, and a place to sleep in, hopefully with not-too-long commutes. There will still be a bunch of young couples trying to get a home and being ruined by unfinished construction like you've mentioned.
Clearly World War 2 could have been avoided if the Allies had simply challenged Hitler and the other Axis leaders to a debate.
We know that a lot of our critical infrastructure is vulnerable, as this article again shows. This may have been "the norm" for decades but this has to be fixed. Unfortunately it often takes a catastrophe for things to be fixed.

At least here there was no catastrophe but still enough noise at a sensitive enough time that, again, I am sure that those systems will be upgraded.

Also, we're discussing securing infrastructure against threats up to state actors. They don't care about harsh penalties unless these are painful counter-attacks.
> As an extra bonus, anyone trying to circumvent the AGPL by disabling this feature has obviously modified the software.

Not necessarily, since you could disable it via a proxy or so?
There needs to be detail about who you are on the site. Credentials and/or what research group or university affiliation.

Also needs privacy statement about how data is handled. And with regards to what is sent to open AI.

I wouldn’t use this at all. There are 3+ entities (bubble, bubbles infra, openai, yourself) with access to super sensitive information about me, people I know etc.
> I've never seen any law specifically targeting straws

Well.. come to Europe.

But to be fair yeah, I think they banned most non biodegradable single use utensils.

Straws just turned out harder to replace compared to plates and forks. The plastic coated paper straws which are just as bad (if not worse) in most ways are just a perfect illustration why this policy wasn’t thought out that well.
Huh, I thought it was 10% at 1,0000,0000 yen. 15% at 3,0000,0000 and 20% at 5,0000,0000 (and so on.) That was what I was told previously at least.

But yea, the calculus is:

Total taxable amount of inheritance tax - Basic inheritance tax exemption (¥30 million + ¥6 million x number of legal heirs) = Total taxable amount of inheritance for inheritance tax purposes
You kind of mess it up from the beginning by assuming everything is based of 5 or 10 unit fractions for the math. Do it with 2,3,4,6,8 inch standards and metric becomes notebook and imperial becomes mental.
How many mid level developers do you know that understand the syntax and apis of every single programming language in existence?

I’ve used chatgpt recently to build an entire c++ game with sound, keyboard and mouse control, ai, etc, having never used c++ before. I’ve also never built a game before. I’ve worked with a lot mid level developers and I’ve never seen any that can write me a a c++ file giving me working code for a collision system in 30 seconds. Let me know if you find one though.
Heh ok ye well you never know.

I have the same Z13 laptop with the fancy OLED but (until recently) with the Fedora preload instead of Ubuntu. It had a lot of bugs---to the point where I think it could have had a defect (especially after half of the keyboard stopped accepting keypresses even in BIOS and even after full power down and restart; the solution was to plug in the USB charger. Epic WTF). More likely, Lenovo/Mark Pearson were put in a bad place of, "we're releasing for Windows whether you're ready or not!" I suspect the latter because the support forum would often have "we're waiting on the BIOS team", "Intel doesn't have a driver for that webcam", "the haptic thing will get a utility soon", "the temperature issue is known", "the higher resolution timer is unstable", and so on.

The XPS 9370, for me, had ZERO problems. To the point where I wondered often why there aren't more Linux users. It felt like all of my previous Linux pain (especially a life chapter of running Linux on a Chromebook) had gone away.

I looked into a recent XPS but for a variety of reasons (keyboard layout availability in Europe, Michael Dell's political beliefs, wanting to switch away from Ubuntu's snaps and UX, reports of hardware issues on Reddit) I decided to try out "the other" major laptop brand with Linux offerings. Maybe I just got lucky with the last laptop?

Forcing a BIOS reset and installing Windows made enough problems go away that I now just run Fedora Remix as a WSL distribution. Annoyingly, the thing gets hotter than the XPS and hurts my eyes at night. The Z13 with Linux looked so good on paper, now it's more of a paperweight than anything unless I'm traveling.

Also... I wonder to this day if I'm the only Z13 owner who has two separate onboard mic sensitivities (one stereo channel is much more sensitive to nearby sound than the other and has an unusually high DC offset, which simply shouldn't exist on ANY microphone) plus the microphone on my left shows up in Audacity as the right channel (and, of course, vice versa).
> with nothing to support them if the train brakes hard

Generally speaking and especially when compared with trams or buses, mainline trains don't really do "hard" braking, though. Though I concede that the jerk of coming to a full stop with the brakes fully applied (during regular braking drivers and/or the train control system will ease off the brakes before stopping) may be somewhat borderline in terms of keeping your stability.
Statements like these without discussing the language standard most of the Software you have uses is kind of pointless.

I guess most of the legacy code for which they do this risk assessment is Fortran 77. Not any more modern.

And getting it up to date to modern fortran would be as much effort as any other modern language.
Looking forward to your comments!
> A shift to new idea might be interesting here.

OK, let me ask you: Can you clearly articulate the "old ideas" that don't work any more? Can you read through the Agile manifesto, and see if it matches these "old ideas", or does it contain ideas that might help with that?
Yeah I mean having kids sucks period, that’s why people who can afford to, don’t. Haha, at least that’s my read.
