> It is not the only operating system in the "unstable kernel interface" group though. Linux is actually the only one with a stable system call interface.

It's wrong to say that Linux stands alone in having a stable syscall interface. FreeBSD [0] and NetBSD [1] both retain syscall compatibility for old binaries (the former apparently with some exceptions permitted); DragonFly BSD also appears to keep old syscalls in place. In fact, I only know of Windows, OpenBSD, and presumably macOS as mainstream desktop OSes without mostly-stable syscalls.

To point, it doesn't matter how fast you going. If you follow the bike, you have a higher G Force just from the vertical drop. Your head and body don't decelerate that fast sliding forward. You will get the same amount of road rash if you fall off and e-bike or a motorcycle one at the same speed.

Some hard data on the bike accidents and the kind of injuries that occur. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9100098/ then read the Hurt report

The number 1 best way to reduce accidents between different kinds of vehicles is training people to drive consistently and predictably. Personally I think someone should not get a license to drive until they've shown have mastered driving three types of vehicles (singletrack, dual track light weight, dual track-heavyweight).
Wow, how much do I pay to run it on MacOS?
As the sibling comments have pointed out, power-to-weight is the main reason, but it doesn't make diesel engines completely unfeasible for light aircraft.

Scammed them by downloading an illegal copy of a TV series?

It was House of the Dragon, I'm certain HBO don't offer any official downloads from third parties.

Plus, the listing showed photos of DVD covers and make it look like I was buying physical copies.

Look at the link I posted above, loads of people complaining about the exact same thing.

So yes, getting me to pay for a pirated/unofficial copy of something is a scam.
I liked the article. Part of what he's touching on is actually far more general. Language translation/speaking is just one skill a human can acquire though. For him, part of what gives his life meaning is being able to write a letter or have a conversation in another language, and the fact that this is hard is part of the meaningfulness of it.

When everything we do becomes easy and we can just ask an AI/robot to do it for us, how will humans replace the meaning that comes from skill acquisition/performance?

For a state of ~40 million, that's 1% of the population.

"Drain" and "hemorrhaging" carry such negative connotations. While there are some tough logistics involved in keeping infrastructure/operations/policy aligned with changing demographics, we really don't need everyone living in one state. It's not a competition.

If people who don't want to live in California leave for somewhere they'd rather be, that's probably ideal for everybody. I like it here and would rather collaborate with other neighbors who like it rather than neighbors who loathe it and stick around anyway. I'm pretty sure there will be enough of us left to make it work alright.

> and then the golf course sells out to a developer who wants to build higher-density housing, and then the people who live in houses nearby complain that they are somehow injured by other property property owners building on their own land

They are though. They objectively are impacted. Your new high-rise often does any/all of the following:

- change the elevation or the permeability of the ground (in the midwest, this means often dumping higher water levels into nearby properties, causing basements to flood that didn't before). In my home state, often 25 to 40% of a home's finished livable SQFT is in those basements)

- dumps lots of new vehicles and new traffic into the neighborhood (that the high-density housing isn't going to build parking for, in their obvious-lie greenwashing attempt to be 'eco-friendly')

- adds new retail on the ground floor, with more noise and more traffic (so that the business becomes viable)

- increase the costs of all insurance (automobile insurance, homeowners insurance, flood insurance, etc)

And of course, the big one:

- Dramatically increases the value of the property, immediately driving cost of living up for existing residents, in addition to increasing the housing costs for all residents (yes, even for pre-existing owner-occupants).

-----

You can argue that existing residents should just eat all of that, as like, "the cost of living in a society" or somesuch. Because your right, regular people didn't buy up that land too, to prevent the development ahead-of-time. And I get, new housing has to go somewhere, no one is against all new housing.

But you can't pretend these effects are "entirely intangible". New development, especially anything that "increases density" has lots of direct short-term real-world observable impacts, and very real costs, passed directly onto each other nearby resident. They aren't crazy to complain about all that, even if they aren't articulate enough to accurately name each effect individually, and instead label the whole thing "the character of the neighborhood" or similar.
Very interesting and thanks for sharing! I am involved with a project involving a couple Bible Translation orgs to create a service like this but built in a more backend-agnostic fashion (e.g. choice of vector DB, LLM, etc.). We have a prototype and currently planning out next steps. Let me know if you would like to collaborate (find my email ID on my HN profile).
Unless the organization is fundamentally structured with difference incentives, I'm not sure it'll achieve a different outcome.

It's a hard but necessary challenge to prioritize research, which requires that every research group advocate the utility of their work and be evaluated in comparison with others.

Why not a ban on personal travel outright? No one needs to take a vacation, and you don’t strictly need to see your family either.

Maybe we could have some kind of a permitting system where you could apply for permission to travel to see, for instance, your dying parent. But you would need to submit a letter from a doctor stating they are likely to die in the next 7-14 days, of course.

How about a ban on recreational activities like hiking and skiing? If we’re serious about this being an existential threat, this should be an easy decision.

Maybe a ban on human existence altogether.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've added it to the todo list.
That joke seems to be unbelievably old; I’ve heard a version with Nasreddin Hodja and a donkey (and the donkey is used almost universally when it’s told in Russian, despite donkeys not exactly being common in most of the country), but I wouldn’t bet on even that being the first iteration. (Neither do I have a good source for the authenticity of the Nasreddin version, unfortunately.)

> ”since when you are really editing the draft later, most likely you are going to throw away many pages and paragraphs of work”

It seems relevant that I also do not write like this.

When I wrote my first novel, I wrote the draft and gave to my beta readers. Most of the feedback I got was that I needed to add stuff. Develop a character more, take more time to get to the resolution of a problem, add a new perspective.

From the first draft to the final version, it got probably around 30% bigger. Very few paragraphs were cut after that initial draft.
Because Erlang's "if" doesn't work like that. It looks like this:

if
IfBoolean -> "case statements only";
true -> "you didn't get a choice" % yes, it's "true", not "else"
end

In fact, Erlang's "if" is actually an if-elif chain that takes guards (unlike "case" which takes patterns) as test conditions: those are restricted set of expressions that basically allow only constants, variables, arithmetic/boolean operators and comparisons and very few built-in functions (mostly of the is_type/1 sort), and that's it. Guards are evaluated one by one until one of them evaluates to true; if none do, a run-time error is raised.

It's a very unwieldy construct and at my org, we mostly try to avoid it because "case" is clearer in like 98% of the cases.

Hungarians in Vojvodina don't actively pursue separatism, but if claim there is "zero issue", you obviously don't speak Hungarian. Just talking to random people in Subotica or wherever in their own language, it doesn't take more than a few minutes for an ethnic Hungarian to complain about being part of Serbia. Bitterness about Trianon, and even hopes for a Greater Hungary someday, are as commonly met in Vojvodina as in Hungary, Slovakia, Transcarpathia, or Transylvania.

And since you were talking about Kosovo, one thing you often hear from Hungarians in Vojvodina is that they don’t give a shit about “Kosovo je Srbija” and they hate being associated with a country that keeps banging on about it.
Hey Paddy, sure thing! I'll share some thoughts here and see if I can add it to the repo, too, so that other people can see it.

The advantage is that you automatically get pre-loaded PyMongo or SQLAlchemy clients in your Jupyter environment, with connection URLs correctly configured to your database. You also get the same in the Streamlit app.

If you have a static dev database that you always use/maintain, and you're comfortable with your connectors, then you probably don't find a lot of value in that. But if you're like me and you always have to look up how to configure the network connections through the docker network + exposed ports, and you're never sure how to construct the connection URL and configure the default clients, then that stuff comes right out of the box.

I think these things are most useful for me in the "proof-of-concept" stage where I'm just starting a new data engineering idea from scratch and I want a brand new database.

Going along those lines - I'm going to add elasticsearch next, because I always want that search functionality over text but always feel like its hard to spin up and connect to
Depending on the town you are in, USA Today could be bigger than the local paper, and maybe have better national and international coverage. That was sometimes the case in my peak traveling days 35 years ago, when the newspapers generally were in better shape.

This is a neat idea. But I accomplish the same thing with a pen and paper. Once I start to write there's no time to go back and read or edit until later. Additionally, pen and paper forces me to consider each word more carefully, because my writing speed is always slower than my thinking.
I guess my point is that engineering and academia are not independent and mutually exclusive sets.

Housing, not unlike other assets classes have expectations baked into the price at purchase. However those expectations are not entitlements to future outcomes, unless you also purchased the rights to the variables at hand. (Ex: the only way to make sure someone doesn't move in next door is to buy the house nextdoor)

Essentially the benefit of private parties not developing on their property is an externality of their decision. Of course government interventions often address externalities as many a Nimby have figured out.
Well first off I’m a woman. But I wasn’t talking about women focusing on “the emotional toll of failing to adapt”. I’m talking about the fact that in our culture men are more likely to trust other men than women, and more likely to dismiss the claims made by women. This directly leads to discrimination against women in the workplace. The specific ways this happen can often seem subtle from the outside, but the persistence and prevalence of this is clearly felt by women in tech. There is nothing women can do to adapt to the fact that men won’t listen to them, men need to change their behavior. Women who try to adapt by being more assertive can be labeled as aggressive and will be dismissed all the same.

Then when women make claims about discrimination in the workplace in a manner which finds its way to this website, the same men who would have dismissed them in the workplace will dismiss their claims of discrimination in comments here. This leads to an echo chamber of men saying to each other that discrimination against women isn’t happening, when in reality they just don’t see it from their position.
A shoebox house 45 min by train from SF costs $1 million. Rates are approaching 8%. Taxes are close to 10%. Your car windows can't survive 5 minutes in the city. The air is occasionally not breathable, typically during the best months of the year to be outside. Anyone not in finance or tech is probably living with their extended family because minimum rent is approaching $3k/month in a non-murderous area. Homeless camps everywhere. No enforcement on property theft.

I loved my time in CA, but the second WFH was a thing, I was out, regrettably. I'm not going to work an extra 10 years just so I can pay a mortgage.

Exactly this. I've got anecdata from people who have left because they can't afford housing, to retirement age people who are cashing in on their real estate and moving somewhere cheap, to conservatives moving to a more conservative state.

It's funny you brought up SpaceX because that's one of the examples I was going to use for my previous comment. SpaceX's early work was almost exclusively funded by government contracts (which they could then use to borrow against). Musk himself said they were down to the 11th hour of bankruptcy before NASA 'saved' them. Their SpaceAct agreement also gives them the benefit of NASA's past science; they aren't starting from square-one, which is part of the point. The SpaceX business model follows that of many nascent industries: rely on the government with its extraordinary tolerance for risk until they prove themselves viable enough to get private customers that are generally more risk adverse. Aerospace is a prime example, dating back to the Wright brothers. The govt provided a lucrative military contract as a carrot that transformed the space from hobbyist to a legitimate industry.

And that's what I'm saying. I'm not introducing a dichotomy but you may not understand the point. In a hybrid model, high-risk ventures are funded by the government because there are few comparable entities that can shoulder that risk burden. Once the industry proves itself, it opens itself up to more private ventures. The government funds and sets goals, and the private sector innovates and delivers. That's not a dichotomy and most of the examples you provide that I'm familiar with support that model. I'm not denigrating private or public pathways, just acknowledging each have aspects that can compliment the other.

I've started my familiarity with Python after Peter Norvig promised that Python can be an OK substitute to Common Lisp. That promise turned out to be a bold-faced lie, but learning some Python made me more employable, so, I'm not complaining. I've made my first steps using Python when Twisted was popular, there were "old-style" and "new-style" classes and you could raise whatever you wanted (not necessary an exception), setup.py files were written in such a way as to use distutil if setuptools wasn't installed.

I've also contributed to CPython (reported bugs mostly). Wrote a bunch of C, some C++, Rust and Go code that produces Python modules as well as contributed to pip, setuptools, conda... Again, mostly bug reports or small patches for specific bugs, but still.

At day job, my role is in infrastructure, which is mostly written in Python, so, I deal with stuff like Linux kernel to userspace interface, various system utilities, or cloud-related stuff, mostly OpenStack. Another aspect I'm involved with at day job is CI and packaging. Perhaps the utility I wrote that's seen the most use is one that deals with combining multiple wheels into a single wheel to speed up deployment. It's not sophisticated, but turned out to be very useful. Another popular utility is used to dismantle Linux storage so that it can be re-defined and re-assembled. What it does is it traverses /sys/block looking for various devices and connections between them, finds the right order in which these devices need to be stopped / removed / disassembled and does that. Again, this isn't very exciting, but turned out to be useful.

This particular author (Beth Mole) has been with Ars Technica for a very long time and is well-known for her frequent and ubiquitous puns. It's very polarizing within the ArsTechnica community but many readers have come to expect, rely on, and love her writing style. Others are not amused.

Overall I think having one author carry an "El Reg" (The Register) style is probably a net benefit. I appreciate it occasionally, and also appreciate that none of the other authors have adopted it. It's really just a "Beth Mole" special.

I haven't calculated the break-even point for bigquery vs scratchdb. It would be impossible to do so, as I'd need to know the number of rows bigquery will scan in order to do an estimation in advance. Also what is a "slot-hour"?

That is why I chose pricing uses units of "GB" and "hours" for storage and compute - those are things you can more easily observe.

It is a good question, though, and perhaps I can do an experiment and write a blog post using example data showing the differences. I might be surprised at how efficient bigquery is!
