If you can achieve a memory savings of 30%, say, that would be pretty big news. If you can only achieve a 30% memory savings by doing things to the compiler that make it harder to work on the compiler in the future, then it's probably not worthwhile. But if you can achieve an 80% memory savings by doing violence to the compiler, that might be worth the trouble.

As for what's an ideal source->AST expansion factor for a language that has a user-friendly compiler that's also compiler dev-friendly, that's hard to say. Clearly 50x is workable.

In TFA the 50x expansion factor is used as a motivator for automating a particular type of optimization. It'd be very interesting to see a Rust vec-of-enums that automatically deconstructs enum values into tags and opaque values that it could store in a struct-of-arrays like TFA does in Zig. The places to bury unsafe use into for this would not be many.
So its C with nicer macros and maybe some more sensible ways of dealing with arrays and such?

For me that's not enough to move the needle.
I'm not sure I agree with the parent or not, but there are a few things that I've found incredibly valuable to sustain a successful marriage long term. For example, we have the rule to never go to sleep while angry with each other. Maybe we'll be sitting in separate rooms tired and fuming at 1am, but once heads are cooled off we talk it out and then go to sleep at 2am after both are happy to share a good night kiss. I think this is huge because it prevents anger or frustration to build up and forces it to be resolved at a natural point.
It's not completely gone. If you implement crypto in an iOS app you have to get an "export license" even if you're not based in the US or publish your app there.
So if you want to fix the society to want to have children again you have to make it

1) affordable,

2) less inconvenient,

Sweden has done about as much as any country reasonably can do address those two, and it hasn't had much effect on improving the birth rate.
It really means the answer is yes to a rare number. We are able to have a dog like a chihuahua because we choose to maintain these diminutive trait inducing mutations that are already there for us to select upon in the population. There probably are elephants being birthed that are 1/100th the normal weight but they probably are nonviable and we therefore don’t see them marching in adulthood.
what does this have to do with a "modem" per se?
I'm looking forward to seeing support for other GitOps tooling. Argo CD makes sense initially since this is by the same creators, but it would be nice to see agnostic tooling that can support other GitOps tools like Flux. I hope this is something that we will actually get to see and isn't just an empty promise.
Ultra-wealthy people are working remotely from their superyachts
For all the good work he did, this is the one misstep in Sagan's career that likely caused the most disruption: he was big on the "reptile brain inside a mammal brain" hypothesis and described it quite convincingly on Cosmos.

We don't have a great strategy yet for undoing the work of an effective science educator when they teach things science goes on to disprove.
It's amazing to me how many people are so far removed from food production in modern times that they've forgotten what most of our ancestors knew, "Subsistence farming sucks."
A few years ago they tried to impose 10 years of taxes on anyone moving out of state, and make it retroactive to anyone who had already moved in previous years.
Most relationships, especially with kids, are heterosexual.
But it's C. The idea here is to have higher-level, type-safe languages do this transformation automatically.
The premise was that big cities, like Philadelphia & PGH would somehow undemocratically impose their will on the rural parts of the state. Like you say, that isn't happening. Philadelphia's regulations aren't being imposed in Potter County.
> "tech is not a noun, it's a verb"

We don't know yet where and how AI, consumers, business and regulation will all come together and what the next thing will be after every AI milestone.

Although the AI artistic doom is underway, there will definitely be winners, ie I can imagine Tom Cruise signing off on his AI "action figure" for the rest of his life (and of his heir) and studios who profit indefinitely from content they own in ways we can barely imagine now.

And there will be losers. I can also picture more elaborate, undetectable AI derivatives that do not pay royalties to no one: writers, actors, even directors - AI will learn from their work and replicate indefinitely every aspect as a new product.

AI in art will take Walter Benjamin's 1935 philosophy to the next level, both in meaning and depth: the mechanical reproduction of art alters the very nature of art - AI robs art from its aura of existence in time and space, art becomes soulless. The consumer will not rebel though, but adapt to this new AI reality.

No, it doesn't. We don't block anything on 1.1.1.1 or otherwise mess with the integrity of DNS. See comment from Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702
A tomahawk costs $2M, but it takes 8 years and north of $1M to train a pilot.

I know I'm not getting the missile back, but the survivability of manned aircraft against a near-peer or peer-competitor may not that great...

Now that pilot may be reusable, but they also come with other challenges, like requiring 1/3 of an aircraft simply for pilot life support. They also get tired, sleepy, lazy, and cannot handle high Gs.

Then there is the logistic overhead of maintaining a re-used aircraft. Again, this has benefits, but for every hour of flight there are like 17 man-hours of maintenance. Plus you need mechanics, a fuel / parts / ammo / tools supply chains, runways, etc.
I think that's basically what the parent's #2 point implies.
What about having a git repo that has a Kustomize base which has overlays for different environments?

This way each environment is in its own directory which can have its own patches such as using a private load balancer instead of public for a staging environment or setting whatever environment variables that need to be different.

Then at the Argo CD level, Argo CD running in prod will look for an Application in the prod/ directory and Argo CD running in staging will look for an Application in the staging/ directory.

All in all you end up deploying the same artifact across environments and all of this is managed and exposed by Argo CD. For example you might want AutoSync enabled for staging so developers can auto-deploy their code but prod requires a tech lead or manager to push the sync button to deploy it.

The above works well in practice and isn't too complicated to pull off.
Select many archives, right click, and selecting extract each archive to a separate folder.

Or doing the opposite, selecting many folders and telling winrar to create a .RAR file from each folder.

Etc.
I have two carriers, one assigned v6 only, another is dual stack. My route file is much more complicated, but it might be related to both Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE.
Yes many, probably most marriages are based on an equal relationship. But many are not. And in the past most were not.
This assumes the aircraft analogy uses all one-off parts, no? It would be interesting to see if there's any data available on this. I would expect big ticket items like the engines to be bespoke, but even they would likely use some common parts. I'd imagine it's not likely every seal or bolt would be unique to that airframe.

It's not uncommon for jets to fly for long distances after a pilot ejects. In one incident I responded to, the crew of an F4 ejected due to a fire, but the jet continued to fly over about half of Nevada until it eventually crashed near Tohnapah.
> > What you eat can reprogram your genes

> Epigenetics. It's not wrong

Calling epigenics "reprogramming" makes it seem like the right combination of vitamins and heart-shaped herbs can turn you into a were-panther.

Your genes can be reprogrammed, but the relationship between epigenics and actual reprogramming is more like the relationship between Chrome and iOS — in that, in the few occasions when it's possible for the former to mess with be later, this is widely regarded as catastrophically bad.
I find the vocal tone in this video more akin to documentaries / 60 minutes / science education videos like Bill Nye than to Mr. Beast.
I’m not the one saying that the government should intervene in how people form families.
This comment is a good bit of rationalization, and whichever the categorical mismatch you feel is happening, it misses the overarching point, the focus should be on the broader systemic issues: data security is not a first or second tier priority to "big data" or "AI"... largely because there's no cost to doing it poorly.
Fighter jets in general are a constant maintenance marathon. They are pushing the edge of engineering and performance. That means that they are less reliable and more expensive to maintain than a 777 by a wide margin. However, the F-35 is significantly more reliable than it's predecessor the F-16.

The F-35 represents the result of a changing model for warfare. Less dogfights and missile duels, more managing a fleet of strike drones, loitering ordinance, ECM, and acting as an observability platform. With the advent of extreme long range, datalink guided, air breathing, air to air missiles, BVR is transitioning to over the horizon combat. I see you, I kill you. F-35 is a reaction to that.
they mentioned using a Geiger counter, does that count?

If you're interested in Queuing theory and systems then this book will help. The link only discusses trivial definitions, nothing special.
The book is by Prof. Mor Harchol-Balter of CMU. I referred this book extensively during my master's and it is still my favorite academic book. I can open it any day and start reading. The writing is very good. give it try if you're interested.

Man, this would be so good for the US to implement.

The exact tax details and how money is exactly moved around are, of course, the devil in the details.

But, forget all those very important but very arduous details for a minute, and just imagine that system up and working.

You pick some small town out there on the Gift website. You like, I dunno, Country Hams. There's a small place outside of Harrisburg, PA that specializes in that gift. They send you a medium sized ham around the holidays. It's not a mass market ham, as that's against the rules. It's real home grown and processed country ham. They put in some advert for the country ham festival in October or some month (I don't know anything about the ham world, sorry!). Its free tickets to get in. You think, hey, why not? Go out there, spend some hotel/AirBnB money, eat at the diners, buy gas, etc. Great little fall escape. You do this every year for a while. The town gets a reputation, they're the Country Ham town now.

Boom, a little cottage industry, government mandated to exist and help out the people there. The town gets to choose the cottage industry, of course. But they can leap frog it, make something of it, get things going again. Government is just coming in and priming the pump.

I don't know. There's something so damn wholesome about this idea that I just love it. Helping out each other, getting things moving again, diversifying the market, keeping things alive.
I don't think I understand the comparison you are making.

$154 billion in 30 years for a whole field like climate change, is ~$5 billion a year.

I don't think that the whole supplement industry in the US alone is making less than that.
> The world needs to find different cultural norms around children such that we can have a stable population and happy children.

Unfortunately, the world is dead. It can play around with cultural norms as if they are toys for whatever time it has left, but the diagnosis is terminal.

You don't have enough children, all of you, the fertility rate is below replacement and it is not a blip or a fluke. Children who grow up in your world are discouraged from even liking the idea of having children of their own some day. They grow up hearing all the same dumb jokes on sitcoms about how horrible it is to get married, to be pregnant, to raise children. The internalize it, and the next generation is smaller than the last. This isn't reversible.

> For most of human history, raising a family was not really a choice, culturally speaking

Only because if it was a choice, then you wouldn't be here to casually quip about "human history". A humanity that doesn't raise families has no future, there can be no one a thousand years from now to talk about past history.

Organisms that do not reproduce become extinct. It's been hardwired into our biology since day one. Talking about it as if it were some choice is bizarre and indicative of a lack of self-comprehension. Might as well talk about not having a choice in whether you breathe or eat.

The same people who talk about dangerous and virulent memes, the so-called "disinformation" are no more immune than those who wallow in the things.

> We’ve given up our stable optimum of centuries and clearly not yet found a new one.

Good news. You still have -30 years to find one.
Thank you thank you. I feel like this primary point in the post got lost it some of the strawmen of "There is just no way an ipv4 stack could talk to an ipv6 address!"
> I suspect the modems will be around for a very long time.

No they won't.

'Dial up' modems need a PSTN line to work. The roll out of full fibre networks means analogue PSTN is going the way of the dodo. You cannot get a new PSTN line anymore in Blighty. In Estonia and the Netherlands (IIRC) the PSTN switch off is already complete.
I guess I’m referring to Indian and Chinese immigrants who come here with pretty much nothing and then through sheer hard work manage to become the richest demographics in the country.
But you don't need to download everything. Even 1/10th of that could be juicy enough. Or 1/100th.
Sounds good! Thanks for the information.
Generally, even though an issue is complex it doesn't necessarily follow that the conclusion or solution, after analysing all possible aspects, must be complex. It may be simple. Or, conversely, that if a conclusion is simple to implement, it doesn't necessarily follow that the issue or analysis was simple.
We also need to be careful about what we build - it can't just be more SFH.

The ideal would be for municipally owned mid-rise apartments in mixed-use neighborhoods to become common. Vienna does this very well, but public housing has been demonized in America (and, like the lazy dad who does a chore so badly they never get asked to do it again, our federal government starved public housing support so badly that most Americans think of it as an intrinsically horrific way to live).
Not sure where 248 hours came from.

38 terabytes = 304 terabits.

304 terabits / 1 gigabit/second = 304,000 seconds

304,000 seconds =~ 84 hours. Add 20% for not pegging the line the whole time and the limits of 1gbps ethernet, and perhaps 100 hours is reasonable.
But then we have to start asking questions about why a woman is a single mother. Is it better for children to be in a single parent household or in one where he mother is abused? Or one where the children are abused? Is living in a household with a non-contributing partner superior?

Can we control for confounding variables like education level and age at first conception because maybe the answer isn't "single parenthood is awful" but "women shouldn't have children so young" or "it turns out poor people just do worse than wealthy people". The first likely boils down to the 2nd.

I have seen so many varieties of single motherhood and couple parenthood that I'm not convince that single parenthood is inherently a problem. I think it's more poverty. Single motherhood often couples with poverty, although not always now that women are more educated. But I've seen dual income households that matched a single parent household have the same kind of struggles.

Perhaps we should just ask why our social net is so weak that being a single earner means you can't raise a child. Anyone can lose their partner and they shouldn't have to scramble to pick literally anyone just to ensure their kids are cared for.
WFH solves this too. RTO policies are anti-family. Hell, unchecked corporate work culture is part of why Japan and Korea's birth rates are so low. Can't be out having babies if you're at the office at all hours.
Principle of Belief Conservation. For any proposition, P:

1. Taking a certain cognitive stance toward P (for example, believing it, rejecting it or withholding judgement) would require rejecting or doubting a vast number of your current beliefs,

2. You have no independent positive reason to reject or doubt all those other beliefs, and

3. You have no compelling reason to take up that cognitive stance toward P.

Then it is more rational for you Not to take that cognitive stance toward P.

---

This is basic logic. If you're proposing a system of raising children that goes against the vast majority of cultures spanning thousands of years then it's on the proposer of the new system to come up with the evidence that it's just as good.
Go read and listen to the ideology from many conservative evangelical groups in the US. They are pretty direct on this point. Wives must submit to husbands. It’s not a secret.
I think it's pertinent information to know. I found their comment interesting.
> the general consensus as I understand it is that building new nuclear power plants is not cost effective with other forms of energy storage/generation capacity.

Different forms of energy generation serve different purposes. I hope you can see why comparing nominal prices of solar panel installations vs a nuclear power plant is misguided. The latter can take you through a tough winter, the former cannot. Renewables are great, let's keep building them. For the times where they cannot help us, we can then choose to use a technology that is costly in dollars (nuclear) or lives (gas/oil/coal).
let the human pilot make decisions == let the machine make decisions

It's not like pilots are making political decisions. They pilot and shoot predefined targets, avoid hostile actions. AI is capable of doing this.

> Not in the realm of "should I shoot that thing?" sort of decisions.

On the contrary, AI is very capable of making that decision. There are no philosophical dilemmas or children in the skies and even if there were we are at the point where we can tell the device not shoot children. There will be mistakes but human pilots makes mistakes too.
This. 7zip it's amazing in its own right but some UX choices are weird like by default double clicking a rar file will not open 7zip (vs WinRAR that opens the preview what's files are inside, like any other program). Here you need to right click>7zip>Open in 7zip.

Not a huge issue, but I can see someone who installed 7zip, think didn't worked and then install WinRAR.
This is a WW2 topic so I feel okay with invoking Godwin's Law:

This is the same excuse many Germans that took part in the concentration camps used. Turns out, still doesn't make genocide okay.
Mh. I think the problem is: There are (at least) 2 fundamentally different use cases for linux/unix systems.

One is what I'd call a shell-server. On a shell-server, I have a bunch of accounts for users, and there are services supplied for these users. There will be /home/tetha, and /home/tetha/share and /home/tetha/http. And then you have some SMB sharing /home/*/share and you login there with your password, Apache serves /home/*/http for the intranet and so on. This is a very common setup at universities, for example.

The other thing is what I'd call an application server or a service server (but that name sucks). Here, you have a system and the main purpose of the system is to serve a web page via nginx, or be a postgres node and such.

These service-systems tend to be both more controlled, but also simpler. You need to grant a rather small, very known set of users access to these - 10 - 30 usually. And, honestly, these service-level systems tend to have very streamlined permissions, because realistically, shell-access is enough attack profile to be considered root access unless you are very diligent.

Shell-servers however are very, very complex to handle. One big shell-server can be overall more complex than many infrastructures around in total.
I just want to add that some people simply don’t want to have children.

This is important to note because “should I have children” is kind of a novel question, especially for women, in the context of human history.

If you go back a century or three, women (especially from a middle class or upper class family) were expected to wed. And wives were expected to bear and care for children.

Choice was not particularly involved, and most career paths were unavailable for self-sufficiency in the first place.

A question like “would I be happier advancing my career as a scientist or choosing to raise children” is a foreign question a century ago. Now it is a question that the modern woman must grapple with.

This is similar to what you are saying, but it’s the social side of the coin rather than the economic one: an upper middle class family may easily be able to afford raising children, yet the wife still does not want to sacrifice her career which embodies her ambitions, her passions, and her sense of worth.
The way our "MongoFS" was organized is actually also low quality and probably would fall apart pretty quickly if used as a serious web service. However, it works if you try to quickly deploy and serve millions of files to a small number of clients.

Our use case was a Maven mirror for disconnected environment that only contains metadata (i.e. lots of small XML files, without the actual jar). We already had a MongoDB service for some other JSON data, so here we are.
Pointing out hypocrisy is always whataboutism to people that don't like it being pointed out.
Parent's point is that its very existence (not just use, as this is hardware/firmware we're talking about) in widely deployed form would be too risky.

Consequently, if there is an ME-subversion, it's only deployed / part-replaced for extraordinary targets. Not "every system."
Technically address space can be expanded with a reverse proxy like SOCKS5: connect to NAT over ip4 and pass target address or even domain name.
There is nothing in the article discussing syntax changes.
