Only because Java runs on the JVM, which preserves enough type information that an exception will be thrown if you try to treat a list of String as a list of Integer. In a language that compiles to native code with full type erasure, that could give rise to serious security problems.

You can just imagine what Go critics would be saying on HN if Go's generics implementation allowed that kind of thing to happen!

Same here, I initially got an Epyc 1st generation server with 256gb and was happy for a while, until I figured out single core performance was important for my workflows (web development). Then I got a a 7950x3d and i'm now super happy.
Unfortunately, hetzner really seems to have trouble with piracy and spam. Given Plex is going as far as blocking hetzner servers completely, it seems like abuse is pretty widespread.

To me it didn't seem a co-incidence that Google Plus was canned once Apple implemented their enhanced privacy features in Safari.

Google can already track you website to website with Chrome (e.g. shared browser history, amongst other methods), but on Safari per-site tracking such as how the Like and +1 buttons worked was needed.

I have banged on why calories doesn't explain the full picture probably a dozen times on this site, and I'm not sure I want to go into that any more.

Yes, "thermodynamics". But we are not a simple furnace (which is by the way the very thing used to calculate the calories in food. A furnace). We are a complex machine with thousands of chemical pathways, feedback loops, some more efficient than others. You do not eat pure energy, you eat organic matter that is chemically turned into multiple forms of energy.

For me the problem is not the mapping, but all the other data. At least on Spain OSM mapping data is great, specially outside the main streets and roads. But all the community (and other places) extra data is quite useful:

All the business and places (so you don't have to remember the exact address for a place, just enter the name), schedules, traffic, temporary route changes (like road workers, accidents or the like...). That conveniences are great.

OTOH, in OSM you have all the metadata accessible and free. Trash bin locations, type of roads, traffic lights, tactile floor for blind people, number of steps on a stair, type of buildings...

But where I use OSM the most (almost always) is out of the city. For hiking, bicycle routes, out in the field...
> all of the reports are about how stupid the idea is and how such a move would kill Twitter.

Because, _for a service like Twitter_, it _is_ stupid and it _would_ kill Twitter. Paid social networks can and have worked (examples would be SomethingAwful, plus a lot of dating sites, and things like Patreon as marginal cases), but it's not going to work for the social network that _everyone's_ on, and Twitter wouldn't be viable as a social network with like half a million paying users And as we've seen with the blueticks, the tiny minority of users who are willing to pay tend to be completely insufferable. As you'd expect; they're largely doing it for self-promotion purposes.

But in general, "situationally, this is a stupid idea" should not be read as "anything which looks vaguely like this is a stupid idea". There likely is a place for paid social media (and donation-supported social media, and so on); it's just that that place is probably not _Twitter_.

Some comments are saying that the 6-year LTS is needed to support older Android devices. Also, in practice most vendors don't bother releasing updates to phones after the first 2 years, other than security updates.

One possible nice side-effect of not maintaining kernels for so long and allowing people to stay on out-of-date systems would be to encourage vendors to allow users to upgrade to the newer versions of Android for more than the current 2 year life span. They are then more likely to put pressure on their component vendors to get kernel support for their chipsets into mainline so they don't have the excuse that they can't provide updates because the hardware isn't support by modern firmware.
That's true. When I say FAANG, I just mean big tech in general. I've been looking at startups too!

And I did it 2005 with gentoo and scratch... it's unnecessary and you could have learned the same using ubuntu or whatever distro without debugging your system. But you are right as a noob it probably helps to do everything by hand at least once. The most annoying part about Arch is that if you look in forums, reddit or mailinglits a lot of users don't really learn to debug. They fuck up their system and install from scratch... so in the end a lot of them are really good at installing Arch but nothing else.
Sigh. Do discussions about RWKV always end with suggestions that I join the Discord? If I do join the Discord, will I soon begin suggesting that others join the Discord as well?

Dwarf Fortress and Factorio are what I play. And while DF may be a graphically simple game, it's well known that many fortresses which don't succumb to fun succumb instead to FPS death, as the in-depth simulation eventually surpasses every computer as the fortress grows and sieges build up. It's certainly a demanding game, and towards the late game even on my perfectly working mid-tier PC it slows to a complete crawl. Factorio is easy to run, it's just that I mostly play things like Team Fortress 2, Factorio, Geometry Dash and Dwarf Fortress. I needed some examples and Factorio isn't from 2007, so I picked that. The most demanding one is of course DF.

Which is presumably hard to impossible without flying around the world with test chips and physically being in those places, as I guess only a handful of carriers can and will reveal all their config settings and software stacks in practice.

"but you can cover a lot with a mix of trains and buses."

Sure and I never debated that and I like Switzerland. But as far as I know, they also have a lot of cars.

So both is needed, not either or. And yes please, wherever something from a car can be put on a train, it should be done. Every car less on the road, makes it more attractive for (e-) bikes and people walking.
The difference is mostly not relevant these days. Yes, restrict is important, but anyone who is optimizing numerical computing hard is probably already using it judiciously, and for them what is more important is what is familiar to them and makes them most productive.

What is bpo?
because you don't care to give the customer longer term software support

many consumers are not aware about the danger a unmaintained/non-updatable software stack introduces or that their (mainly) phone is unmaintained

so phone vendor buys from B because A is often just not an option (not available for the hardware you need) and then dumps the problem subtle and mostly unnoticeable on the user

there are some exceptions, e.g. Fairphone is committed to quite long term software support so they try to use vendor As or vendor Bs which have contractual long term commitment for driver maintaince

but in the space of phones (and implicit IoT using phone parts) sadly sometimes (often) the only available option for the hardware you need is vendor B where any long term diver maintenance commitment contracts are just not affordable if you are not operating on a scale of a larger phone vendor

E.g. as far as I remember Fairphone had to do some reserve engineering/patching to continue support for the FP3 until today (and well I think another 2 or so years), and I vaguely remember that they where somewhat lucky that some open source driver work for some parts was already ongoing and getting some support with some of the vendors. For the FP5 they manage to have a more close cooperation with Qualcomm allowing them to provide a 5 year extended warranty and target software support for 8 years (since release of phone).

So without phone producer either being legally forced to have a certain amount of software support (e.g. 3 years after last first party selling) or at least be largely visible transparent about the amount of software support they do provide upfront and also inform their user when the software isn't supported anymore I don't expect to see any larger industry wide changes there.

Through some countries are considering laws like that.

I doubt that's true. The availability of Mars Bars and magic food diets (Fat is bad! No, now carbs are bad!) are more likely culprits. People don't fail to lose weight if they count calories. People fail to stick to their diets if they count calories, because it's a joyless activity; biology divorced from psychology.

You can be honest and still have not been registered in your home country, or not wanted by your home country… or worse: they do want you, so they can kill you.

Isn't it still a default somewhere? I recently formatted a pendrive on Windows and somehow mindlessly selected FAT (and ofc had troubles down the road). I probably picked a default somewhere. And to respond your question:

>Why on earth would you do that? People have been using exFAT for many years now.

Most people have no idea what FAT is. If presented a choicee between FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext4 I'm certain they don't care, don't understand the implication, and would just click a random option. Which is OK, not everyone should be a IT expert, it's MS job to make the experience smooth.

edit: and a technical reason: i think FAT32 is the only guaranteed fs supported by UEFI

And you think that minimum wage in the 80s is the same as minimum wage today?
If you have a minimum wage job in Mississippi and work 40 hours a week for a whole year you get 15000$ before taxes and roughly 12000$ after taxes.

According to https://www.mdhs.ms.gov/snap/ you are then eligible for food stamps with 1+ family members.

If you are a family of 4 and BOTH PARENTS work on minimum wage, you still get food stamps. Do you call parents with 2 children who both work 40 hours a week lazy?
Should people with 4 children just work 60 hours? Oh they'd still get food stamps

Slightly OT (though I do really like Elixir: I used to work with José and he’s a goddamned visionary): TypeScript just hits it out of the park here. With arguably harder erasure constraints than either Java or C# the covariance and contravariance bounds and ergonomics are so much more intuitive than either. The MSR brain trust is clearly keeping their eye on the ball.

Elixir looks to be one of few languages that is never going to sit still on absorbing the best ideas. At the risk of repetition, no one would expect less from the person who’s passion created it.

Sadly, far too often, software support simply nevers enter the picture in sourcing decisions. Back when I was privy to this process at an OEM, the only factors that mattered were:

1. Hit to the BOM (i.e. cost); and
chip

2. Suppliability (i.e., can we get enough pieces, by the time we need them, preferably from fewer suppliers).

In the product I was involved in building (full OS, from bootloader to apps), I was lucky that the hardware team (separate company) was willing to base their decisions on my inputs. The hardware company would bear the full brunt of BOM costs, but without software the hardware was DOA and wouldn't even go to manufacturing. This symbiotic relationship, I think, is what made it necessary for them to listen to our inputs.

Even so, I agreed software support wasn't a super strong input because:

1. There's more room for both compromises and making up for compromises, in software; and

2. Estimating level of software support and quality is more nuanced than just a "Has mainline drivers?" checkbox.

For example, RPi 3B vs. Freescale iMX6. The latter had complete mainline support (for our needs) but the former was still out-of-tree for major subsystems. The RPi was cheaper. A lot cheaper.

I okayed RPi for our base board because:

1. Its out-of-tree kernel was kept up-to-date with mainline with a small delay, and would have supported the next LTS kernel by the time our development was expected to finish (a year);

2. Its out-of-tree code was quite easy (almost straightforward) to integrate into the Gentoo-based stack I wanted to build the OS on; and

3. I was already up-and-running with a prototype on RPi with ArchLinuxARM while we were waiting for iMX6 devkits to be sourced. If ArchLinuxARM could support this board natively, I figured it wouldn't be hard to port it to Gentoo; turned out Gentoo already had built-in support for its out-of-tree code.

Of course, not every sourcing decision was as easy as that. I did have to write a driver for an audio chip because its mainline driver did not support the full range of features the hardware did. But even in that case, the decision to go ahead with that chip was only made after I was certain that we could write and maintain said driver.
