I was making a posed argument on why such monopolistic behaviors are a part of inflation, and that in the broader context, stories such as this underscore the trends..increased unionization..more trust bust. This made me wonder about how this could play out in the context of contemporary geopolitical events.

When it comes to cosmic scales, it is literally unimaginable by the puny human mind. I don't know about others but I frankly can't really comprehend what does the mass of an entire mountain condensed into a single pebble mean.

And there are stars full of this stuff. And there are stars spinning so fast its magnetic waves would rip the iron out of my blood and destroy the physics that hold my atoms together just because I am standing a few billions miles away from it.

It is absolutely humbling and make it ridiculous to think that there were men ages ago who thought the universe was created solely for human and somehow we, the sacks of meat so fragile it bursts at every miniscule amount of agitation, were "made" as some special, supreme beings in the universe and all of creations. Hilarious and sad.
For comparison, I chose a very different route. On my personal website I maintain a small directory of web games that have good UX on both desktop and mobile. Link: https://merely.xyz/games

It's extremely low tech; just a static website, no reviews, no concept of apps. The scope is much smaller — and it won't grow beyond what I can test. But I guess the goal is similar, promoting user friendly web content.

You'd be better off with an engine specifically designed to be efficient. Turbines are great at many things, but they are complex and don't scale down very well. They were primarily used where high torque and power is required, and they just aren't practical outside of that.

A better option would be a constant speed ICE engine running at it's peak efficiency (like a diesel-electric train).
Is that really a fair comparison? The dynamically typed language is also typed, probably a longint. Had the C++ example used long then these examples would be at least bug compatible.

If we're discussing weakly typed languages then this argument is more valid, but that opens up to a new class of bugs strong dynamically typed languages don't have.

Anyone who says the conclusion is obvious have probably not thought this through.

That's a very optimistic assumption, the target is 50Hz but if it is below or over for a long period of time (e.g. high load in winter making it hard to sustain the nominal frequency) there are no provision to make it run faster or slower unless the time drifted by more than 30s (that's possibly only valid for Europe).

> No, the idea of incalculable simply means that it can’t be enumerated using one program. As humans we can write different programs and it’s fine.

I'm getting frustrated reading your comments. LLMs show that human beings are likely to themselves admit simulations by computer programs. So computability limits apply to human beings as much as to computers. I've never seen anyone misunderstand these topics in quite the way you have.

> I wanted a different more satisfying answer, and busy beaver numbers are that answer

Listen, you're wrong. This entire thread you've started is wrong. The Busy Beaver function is uncomputable precisely because the Halting problem is unsolvable -- that's how you prove it. It provides no additional insight into "undecidability" except for a bunch of misunderstandings you have that other people have been trying to point out to you.

C11 did add _Atomic, BUT, they are not more portable than using volatile.

In C11 any type of any size can have an atomic qualifyer. That means you can have a 50 byte struct that is an atomic. No hardware has a 50 byte atomic instruction so that is not implementable using atomics. The standard gets around this by letting an implementation have a hidden mutex to guarantee that the operations will be atomic.

The problem with this is Windows. Windows lets an application load dynamicaly and shared libraries (DLL). This breaks the C11 Atomic model. Let me illustrate using an example:

Application A creates an atomic data structure, and the implementation creates a mutex for it. Application B does the same thing. Application A wants to share this data structute with dll X. It then has to share its mutex with the DLL sop that the DLL and application uses the same syncronization primitive. Now Application B wants to do the same thing, problem is DLL X cant use Application Bs Mutex, becaus it is required to use Apllication As mutex.

C11s Atomics will never be implemented on Windows because they cant be! Besides, all major compilers do support intrinsic atomics using volatile, that are nearly identical, (and in some ways better understood) so thats what I recomend using. Linus has indicated that he thinks the C11 concurrent memory model is broken so the kernel will continiue to use volatile and intrincics.

Actually if putting it that way, no trade ever is that difficult. Yet we have all seen quite some differences between plumbers' work haven't we? While yeah everybody could do it and maybe everybody could even do it well, the hard truth is that not everybody does it, and also definitely not every plumber does it well. So while it's nice and inclusive to say "just do it it's not that hard" the reality will bite you in the rear rather sooner than later.

> VPN usage is rarely prosecuted unless they want to get you on something (a basic thing in rule by law).

If they really want to get you on something, using vpn won't be the good excuse anyway as the max penalty is way too low. it is like $100 fine plus maybe up to 2 weeks in detection. in fact, 2 weeks detection for using vpn is unheard of, a few days is already extremely rare.

It is like jaywalking & argued with the driver on the road which cause the traffic to be stopped for 1-2 minutes kind of offense.

It's a tough market for Elixir devs at the moment - there seem to be a lot more people who want to work with Elixir than there are companies hiring for it. But on the flipside, that means if you're a company who wants to take a chance on Elixir, there are lots of available devs to hire!

Personally, I'm comfortable betting my career on Elixir at the moment. It's too goddamn good to remain a niche language - I expect it to get a lot bigger in the years ahead as more companies and devs fall in love with it. It'll happen slowly, and it's never going to reach the level of saturation that that, say, Javascript has, but I think it has a bright future.

Phoenix and LiveView are a joy to work with, much more so than any previous technology I've used. I haven't yet looked at any of the exciting new ML stuff that's happening in the Elixir world (Nx etc.) but hopefully they'll drive adoption too. I'm never going back to my old ways.

Again, everything in law text doesn’t matter. They will probably pile a bunch of other things on top of it, but if you don’t use a VPN they’ll just get you on something else. More importantly, VPN use opens you up to a bunch of liability that they can pry a bunch of other things from you.

It’s more like being prosecuted for “Treason and jaywalking”.
Yup. I tried this on a whim on a self assembled AMD K6 and it worked. Without that 'fix', compiling the Linux kernel would fail. Compiling the kernel and making GNU Chess play itself at highest levels were my standard stress tests.

>Rather than an entry-level laser printer that cannot be economically repaired, a used mid-level enterprise printer is often the cheapest option long term and saves useful electronics from becoming e-waste. Office furniture rental/repo places and secondary markets like eBay have these.

My print volume is extremely low, my 70 euro Samsung has lasted me over a decade. I suspect i'll be dead before i see any savings on a mid level enterprise printer, assuming the thing lasts decades without the rubber inside it disintegrating. If i have to service it my grandchildren will have to reap those savings.

I decided to go completely printerless. So far i've gone about a year without printing anything. I don't think there is anything in my life that still requires a printer.

Django is great (and comparable) if you're doing just backend, or have a separate frontend/SPA.

If you want to make the point that the US is communist, unions are not a great example - they are few and very weak, with a couple exceptions (Police Unions).

There was also the opposite direction: Putting a drive that's locked up in an oven on low heat to unstick the drive-head.... I knew someone who had to do that ~30 years ago after a long-running server had a power failure and the head had stuck to the platter as it cooled.

This was back when opening the drive itself up to figure out what was wrong was still reasonably unlikely to make things worse (I know that first hand from having "kickstarted" my own drive every morning for months while saving up for a new one by opening it up and nudging the platter)

Yes, I noticed that only after finishing the work on my comment (which, strangely enough, is my most-upvoted comment ever). I had been under the impression that the command is a construction from a beginner trying to make sense of the shell, so I skipped over the blogpost too quickly.

But indeed the author wasn't aware that readers and witers of the pipe aren't fully synchronized because the buffer in between allows for some concurrency. My writeup wasn't very explicit about that (at least not that writing to the pipe can block when the pipe is full) but I think it's technically accurate and hope it can clear up some confusion -- a lot of readers probably do not understand well how the shell works.

Primarily due to a lack of economic freedom. If a billionaire in the west (or even just an ordinary wealthy or high income person) doesn’t like how oppressive their government is, they can just take their wealth and productivity to a place they’re more happy with. A wealthy Chinese person has far less property rights over their wealth, they’re absolutely not free to remove it from the country, and their continued access to it relies on continued approval from the CCP.
