I'm pretty sure that this is one of the unsafeties that rust borrows from c, even as it attempts to eliminate all the others. Checking every addition adds a massive slowdown, without giving much useful protection against vulns or corruption.
Those are physical properties rather than economic ones. Gold not oxidising (and metal elements in general being durable) makes it a natural medium for exchanging value. However, that value still is imaginary.

Without being backed by a country / an economic system, and the mere belief that it is valuable, gold has very little value, especially when considering what essentially is a doomsday scenario, in which people probably have more pressing needs than refining and processing gold.
And yet 4200 years is less than the life time of some of the worlds oldest trees - a single generation if you will.

C is a low level language, so when programmer writes "+" they get "ADD" opcode. That's what "low level" means. If one wants "+" to add then do range checks, they can use a higher level programming language (or a special function, perhaps an intrinsic, in C)

The problem is that assembly is CPU dependent. The benefit of a high-level language is that it's CPU architecture independent.

For smaller CPUs that can't support all of C's assumptions natively anyway, like the 6502, which can't multiply or do floating point arithmetic, something like what you describe would likely be best. It reminds me of the COMFY 6502 compiler: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/270941.270947

> Must I buy the product at Costco after I’ve tasted the sample or am I just a freeloader?

No, because the owner of that property has set terms allowing that. Try to eat a dozen samples, though, and they’ll probably ask you to leave.

This isn’t actually a complicated concept: their property, their rules. If you don’t like YouTube, that’s totally reasonable – I don’t – but no amount of sophistry will create a right for you to use their private property on your terms. Just go somewhere else: there are tons of creators who’d love a better deal than Google/Facebook offer them but that’s never going to happen as long as people insist on paying them through YouTube.
As I understand it, the most significant barriers for having all of the big games run on Linux are the anti-cheat software in multiplayer games.

I think it's worth pointing out that, at least IMO, nothing about this is new or inherent to the Internet or technology. Most people have always struggled with healthy relationships - the key difference is that in the past, we had much less choice with regards to the relationships we had to maintain: it was harder to get away from one's biological family, for instance
I think I've had my Spotify since around 2008/2009 sometime. Some years ago, I started noticing that some of my playlists only have like 30% of the songs still available, so I started buying the music I listen to, mainly via Bandcamp and Bandcamp Fridays (https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/bandcamp-fridays-update).

But still, my music library on Spotify is huge, and I still use Spotify for discovery of artists and labels, mainly via related playlists or user's playlists. Then I purchase that music on Bandcamp or wherever it's available so I have a local backup. I also never buy music without listening to it first and knowing I like it.

In my lifetime the memory hierarchy has grown from 3 levels (register, main memory, disk) to at least 8 levels (register, L1 Cache, L2 Cache, L3 Cache, VM, main memory, disk, web). A lot of people like the guy who wrote this paper have no patience for a language that can still run most 1971 C programs!

Every year people who do not understand why C is so successful try make a name for themselves by breaking what makes the language great (such as the complete agnostic set of control structures). C has successfully remained portable and performant for 50Y+ because of its flat memory model (with a few tweaks such as "volatile".)

More like a Techno-Capitalist Fantasy. This part had me laughing out loud:

> Markets prevent monopolies and cartels.

No, markets naturally culminate into monopolies and cartels. That's just human nature.

History has shown over and over again that monopolies and cartels are naturally occurring and that the only successful way to deal with them is to break them up via government intervention. Sure, some monopolies may eventually dissolve due to things like technical obsolescence but that's the type of thing that takes so long that entire generations can come and go, suffering the effects the entire time, before they break up.

This manifesto also doesn't seem to have a solution to "natural monopolies" like ISPs or utilities (water, sewer, electricity). It just pretends such things don't exist.

It also doesn't have anything at all to say about economic externalities (e.g. pollution/downstream impacts), policing of bad behavior, or "tragedy of the commons" sorts of problems.

If you had a technology-oriented country that sends all of its pollution to another country it could be the perfect world envisioned by this "Techno-Optimist Manifesto".

It's interesting to speculate whether the rate of change speeding up or slowing down...

On the other hand, the internet and mobile connectivity have transformed the way people live their lives, without such an obvious physical manifestation.

YouTube Premium is the ad-free offering that they keep adding stuff to. I've been on it since it was Red, and I've enjoyed it the entire time. The price has gone up from the original $9.99, but not dramatically so. YouTube Red originally launched with music, so that's not new, and Premium has other nice features beyond ads, like video downloads and what not. So, I'm not sure what "bundled services" were added to YouTube premium that you are talking about.

Oh wait, I can watch some movies for free, on YouTube.

Oh wait, I can share my membership with my family for less than the original cost of YouTube Red... the horror.

Those all seem related to watching YouTube videos, and not other services, so not entirely sure what you mean.

I don't know, honestly, it feels like you don't want to pay for the ad-free experience at the price point they set. And that's fine. They have a price point, and you don't want it cheaper. 100% fine, but that's all there is to it.

> Sometimes I feel like people read some econ 101 and the admittedly intuitive idea that inflation is “always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon”, but didn’t stop to think that it might be a lot more complex than that.

"Semihosting" is a very old term for this ABI (it dates back to at least the late 1990s in a bit of Arm documentation I found, and might well be earlier). It's mostly I think a name coined when looking at it from the point of view of "what is the C library this guest program linked with using to do stuff":

* hosted == we're running on a real OS, and printf etc become system calls to that OS

* freestanding == this is a bare metal program (perhaps it is itself an OS kernel) and much of the C library facilities are simply unavailable

* semihosted == an in-between position, similar to freestanding but with printf and some other facilities talking over a debug protocol to a connected development system, so you get more of the conveniences of a hosted C library during the development process

(the first two are C standard terminology.)

The use of the bkpt insn is also fairly new, being specific to M-profile (which is the device the blog post author happens to be using). The original 32-bit Arm version uses SVC (the system call instruction). Either way, use of the instruction is caught (by a debug ROM on the guest, or by a JTAG debugger, or by an emulator/software model) to perform the necessary operations, in a flow that is separate from use of bkpt as a true breakpoint).

More recently some other architectures have borrowed the "semihosting" term to refer to the equivalent ABI they provide.
Let's say we have two chips. Chip A requires the programmer to handle all the "magic" stuff. Chip B is like current chips; it hides that stuff. Chip B is subject to side channel attacks. Chip A likely is also unless the programmer is very careful.

Which chip would have sold more? I assert that chip B would have, by a massive volume, because it didn't require the programmer to mess with all that stuff.

So I don't think that it's fair to say that the chip is trying to look like a PDP-11 because of C. I think it's trying to look like a simpler chip, so that mere mortals can program it and still get most of the maximum performance.

Absolutely not! Traditional web design and development agencies continue to play a crucial role in crafting bespoke digital experiences. While the landscape has evolved with the rise of no-code solutions, it doesn't diminish the value of expert craftsmanship and tailored solutions. In fact, our upcoming launch on Product Hunt is a testament to this belief. We're merging the best of both worlds—leveraging the efficiency of no-code tools while retaining the finesse of traditional agency expertise. Our agency embraces innovation, staying ahead by seamlessly integrating the latest technologies into our no-code approach. Join in supporting us on Product Hunt to witness the future of web design and development—an evolution, not extinction!
So does Python (via ctypes) and pretty much every language we consider "high level". But in BASIC your default approach is "DIM names$(count)" which "magically" manages your memory for you.. which is why we consider it higher level than C.
What business risk does that incurr?
There are CPU instructions to pull memory into cache, send cache back to main memory, and Mark things in cache as not worth writing out to memory. All hard to use from C, the last type basically impossible.

If that kind of system is successful at seducing you, you will go through a period of falling in love with it, "crystalization"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization_(love)

and

which are very beneficial for it because the "lights are on and nobody is home" with LLMs frequently but if you are in that crystallization phase you are going to be blind to its flaws. At some point the bloom will come off and you will fall out of love, the question is if it takes two weeks, two months, two years, two decades.

At two months it is probably a positive experience that doesn't affect your life course. At two decades you've lost a lot of time.
