A lot of the analysis on this issue relates to the supply side of the market - manufacturers maximising margins and increasing safety standards - but the demand side plays a role too. For the past fifteen years, we've lived with negligible interest rates and (for most people) stagnating wages. This encourages consumers to cut back on small-ticket items but splurge on items bought on credit (mostly houses and cars).

This environment is crumbling: many older people went into retirement (or were forced into it) during the pandemic, and many working mothers found that the cost of childcare exceeded their contribution to the household finances; this reduced labour pool coupled with increasing interest rates (in part a response to that smaller labour pool) will push car buyers to be more thrifty. I expect to see smaller cars return to dealer forecourts in the next couple of years, especially in Europe.
So this is a processor where you would have 97% of the threads doing some I/O like task? But that can't be disk I/O, so that would leave networking?
This seems more like a proof-of-concept CPU rather than a marketable product, highly specialized, problems and workloads that it solves yet to be found.

I anticipate that photonics will be introduced to general-purpose computing in the years to come, even if only to get a handle on the rising excess heat problems. Most notable is the 10 -> 7 nm process.
I have a lot of ear protrusion, which is even more notable due to my large ears. Having seen old pictures of my great grandfather last weekend, it seems clear whose genes for large protruded ears I inherited.

Is it actually possible to implement security in this OS without a complete redesign and basically redoing what all other existing OS have already done?

I am aware of two ways to enforce security for applications running on the same hardware:

(1) at runtime. All current platforms do this by isolating processes using virtual memory.

(2) at loadtime. The loader verifies that the code does not do arbitrary memory accesses. Usually enforced by only allowing bytecode with a limited instruction set (e.g., no pointer arithmetic) for a virtual machine (JVM, Smalltalk) instead of binaries containing arbitrary machine code.

The author of Fomos doesn't want context switching, memory isolation, etc. And Rust compilers don't produce bytecode. Is there another way?
From the article:

> That said, it is completely understandable that some users may feel uncomfortable using an account to access the service. For such cases we strongly recommend hosting your own deployment of Jitsi Meet. We spend a lot of effort to keep that a very simple process and this has always been the mode of use that gives people the highest degree of privacy.

Of course, self-hosting is still a bunch of work. Which doesn't mean anger is justified, but disappointment (which seems to be the dominant emotion at the time of writing) is understandable.
I think this ignores two major constraints - the "waterfall mindset" was about stakeholders (customers) believing they can get a finished product in a fixed timeline for a fixed price.

What happened then was that after the delivery, the stakeholder was wildly unhappy with the result and demanded re-work, but that would be unplanned and un-budgeted. Many ugly arguments and finger pointing would ensue, which could repeat in several "iterations".

The other thing which doesn't align with agile was that the stakeholder usually didn't participate in the development. They weren't reviewing the progress, they were typically waiting for the finished product to be delivered.

Yep. You can obviously upgrade to 4.5 and 6 kW (still single phase, I think), or go three phase. Single house probably do that. But I'd be surprised if the apartments had more than 3 kW installed.

This results in a big payoff for efficiency, however: high efficiency AC and heat pumps for water go a long way in increasing how much you can do on so much little power.

I'm not seeing much anger, just disappointment that you now need to be an experienced system administrator to have Jitsi meetings without signing up for a bigcorp.

Imo the problem here is a failure of law enforcement on the internet. IP addresses + timestamps can be tracked to a subscriber, but apparently it's so ineffective that, rather than allowing pseudonymity (only knowing your IP address) for all countries that fight digital crime (I imagine child abuse is similarly fought in most places), we instead opt to let the likes of Google and Facebook use tracking and magic algorithms to determine who's allowed to have an account, nay, identity on the internet.

Perhaps we need something that is pseudonymous but tied to an individual rather than a subscriber line, to be depseudononymised only by court order, similar to IP address now except you can actually find who did something (or was complicit at minimum, similar to money mules). We can also make it be different for every recipient, similar to how you can create any number of blockchain addresses without revealing the tie between them. It sounds super dystopian to have an internet passport (private key) explicitly tied to a government identity, but at this point it may improve anonymity rather than detract from it. We could get rid of CAPTCHAs (which are mostly ineffective at this point anyway), Cloudflare MITMing, IP address banning, phone number verification, "log in with Facebook", spam filters (because we'd just block spammers), etc. in favor of being able to prosecute and/or block bad actors.
Yes this particular story drove into me the importance of backward compatibility, and how much Microsoft actually cared about lots of things at a time they were getting a lot of flak for their OSes.

It also made me realize that changing anything in windows is probably very expensive.
Sounds like it's a framebuffer, and yes the apps draw themselves.

Looking at the source code of the cursor app [0], we can see it draws the mouse cursor and skips the rest. The transparent console app [1] is doing something more complicated which I haven't tried to fully understand, but which definitely involves massaging pixels and even temporarily saves pixel data in ctx.store.b1 and ctx.store.b2 so it looks like some kind of double buffering.

I first heard of kiwi-farms when it was blocked at the DNS level by New Zealand ISPs for hosting the censored video of the face book live stream of the 51 people being killed in the Mosque Terrorist attack. They also had a whole section called lol-cow where they crowd sourced doxing and ridiculing female youtubers if i recall correctly.
Economic troubles in the late 80s were much more severe than today. You need to look at how things are on the ground instead of sensational western media reports. They've preached a permanent collapse of China every single year for the past 20 years. Go back 10 years and it's the same doom and gloom in the media, you just weren't as flooded by those reports as today.

If anything causes a war with Taiwan, it's all this talk about how they are going to start a war with Taiwan and subsequently sending military support to Taiwan "to defend them". China can accept (and has accepted, for decades) the status quo but not deviations from it. Taiwanese polls say that stunts like Pelosi's visit made the situation more dangerous. This is literally a self-fulfilling prophecy here. Wise leaders from the past came up with the One China Principle as a way to keep the peace, which it has for decades, but the US is rapidly breaking that construct while gaslighting the other party.
It's been a popular metaphor for decades. And your link says (amongst other things) -

"Ultimately, whether it is legal in the United States to falsely shout fire in a theater depends on the circumstances in which it is done and the consequences of doing it. The act of shouting fire when there are no reasonable grounds for believing one exists is not in itself a crime, and nor would it be rendered a crime merely by having been carried out inside a theatre, crowded or otherwise. However, if it causes a stampede and someone is killed as a result, then the act could amount to a crime, such as involuntary manslaughter..."

I was not trying to make the point that it is always illegal to shout "fire" in a crowded theatre, that such an act is by itself subject to prohibition, but that it is one of several circumstances in which an act of speech may not be 100% protected by the first amendment in the USA.

I even called it a "canard" because it's something of a cliche and not 100% true as commonly understood.

The point, if anything, is reinforced by this - there is a fuzzy edge to freedom of speech in the USA, even where it is portrayed as absolute.

Another example of illegal speech would be perjury.

i don't follow how someone whose defenses are being overwhelmed would be able to step of the survival path. on the contrary, they should be constantly in survival mode such that they are not able to develop other necessary mechanisms to be able to function in society, or the defense mechanisms they develop get in the way of that normal functioning. suicide can easily explained with wanting to end the pain or fear of even greater pain.

a key mechanism to develop growing up is trust and learning how to relate to others. i don't think "normal" growing up should keep us focused on survival.

Two things:

1) You can end at the first iteration and call it a day. The only reason nobody does that is because they don't benefit from an unhappy customer

2) If you have experience, nothing stops you from putting some iterations into the waterfall. As you said the need for feedback rounds should be no surprise.

Traditionally the downside to waterfall was that the distance between those iterations was too big. But smaller iterations and partly prototypes is nothing that wouldn't be allowed in waterfall if you'd like to do it. And if you find a PM that doesn't do the reasonable thing "because the methodology won't allow it" they are probably a bad PM.
Originally in the W. Royce article from the 70s it was a strawman put up by Royce. He then went on to define much more reasonable iterative model.

Unfortunately the strawman was what started getting traction.
In the middle of the article you see a line "RUST Full code for character replacement". If you click on that, it will show you the Wasm code.

It looks like it uses Wasm to replace a sequence of dots with a glyph from the font, which shows a frame from the animation, similar to ligatures, but using Wasm. You could do the same with storing the svg paths for each animation frame in an array and then using Javascript iterate over and display these paths, but this uses Wasm, HarfBuzz and a font.

I don't disagree with that. In fact, knowing the end goal is even more important when actions are "skunkworks".

> Moving all software development into part of the business with 0 expected returns

Agile's focus on "Working software is the primary measure of progress. ... early and continuous delivery
of valuable software." is IMHO the opposite of that characterisation; as it demonstrates value and solicits feedback as soon as feasible. Note that this has very little to do with "is it following a pre-agreed plan or not?".

The issue is more that too many businesses believe that software development is best done as top-down detailed micromanagement, and the tools at hand (i.e. Jira) lean into this delusion.

Quantum computer IQM Spark is available for under one million euros
I can confirm these findings. My father, aged 63, passed away just 3 days ago because of blood cancer. He was totally fit and fine until 8 months ago when we first noticed his abnormal blood counts.

He did regular screening, nothing came up in it. When suddenly in one blood report, his counts were low that's when we did some extensive testing. Even with extensive testing, the diagnosis kept changing. From Myelofibrosis to MDS to AML to AEL.

Whole aspects around testing and related studies are very confusing. Tests are not at all accurate and testing is very expensive.

It seems like a scam when it comes to testing industry and pharma industry for such disorders. Bottomline is nothing helped in my father's case and we lost him after spending tons of money.

The fact that medical system remains such an inefficient system till date indicates to me that world leaders doesn't want to solve for health problems. It's an industry for them with lots of money. Everyone seems to be motivated to keep population seek and be subscribed to their drugs.

Sorry for the rant.

Python had been around much longer than that. But it was mostly in the realm of scientific things.

Ruby became popular when Rails exploded and everyone got into Web 2.0.

Lots of other frameworks came out after that and there was no other killer Ruby apps. But that doesn’t mean that the Ruby ecosystem weren’t doing great things. Just no “big hits”.

Around that time NodeJS dropped and everything moved there. Python still had its niche in science/data.

Computer Science departments started offering their intro CS classes in Python instead of Lisp. So it is no surprise why it exploded even more.

A lot of Ruby-ism has found itself in Elixir. Which seems to slowly be gaining traction. All is not dead.

It’s always just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

JS has always been a dumpster fire or garbage heap but it was in the right place at the right time. That’s the end of that.
TIL that "premises" is plural-only if you want to refer to a location. I might have made that mistake as well (also not a native speaker) - and it's one of those that spellcheckers don't catch...
> No evidence it’s a scam except all the pump and dump schemes and the exchanges collapsing?

That isn't evidence that bitcoin is a scam either. You can still buy and sell it. None of the crypto I own was effected by the exchanges going bust. The exchanges may well all be scams for all I know, and that would be very bad ... for the people who own exchanges.

Hell, I've even been used Tether - which is clearly a scam - and still gotten a valuable asset out the other side of the transaction. One of the promises of crypto that is holding is nobody has to trust the infrastructure even a little bit for the system to hang together.

Crypto + scam exchanges is more trustworthy than fiat + reputable banks. The reputable banks often turn out to be cardboard cutouts in front of corruption.

> And now people hoard it like gold.

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply with this but yes, people do. They are treating it like an asset. It doesn't matter what people intended for something to do, what it does is what counts. If someone owns a bitcoin they own an asset currently worth around $20k, and with pall the evidence suggesting that it will go on being worth around that much for the next 2 years. Your incredulity doesn't change that.
That's not the ridiculous bit, the ridiculous bit is the advocating that the government crack down on people saying mean things about third parties to each other on the Internet.

And make no mistake, that's 99% of what KiwiFarms does, the last time this came up on hackernews I browsed through hundreds of posts in a bunch of threads to see if there was anything other than that going on, so if its there it's in the DMs (and policing person-to-person communication is utterly insane) or very rare.
> CBDCs, FedNow, and platforms like TFA, is getting the second-mover advantage

In the world outside the USA we had the features of these systems for decades before the bitcoin white paper was published.
All video games and consoles had separate NTSC and PAL versions until relatively recently. PAL, which is 50Hz was/is used in Europe most of the world except a handful of countries including USA and Japan.

Japan standardized on NTSC/60Hz well before the video game era, for both the 50Hz and 60Hz mains power regions. The frequency is decoupled from mains power frequency even though it was historically based on American 60Hz power.
