A K-1, "Fiance Visa" I'm pretty sure requires the marriage to happen inside the US. At least that's how the immigration people explained it to us, and their website, while not saying it outright at least implies it:

> With your visa, you can apply for a single admission at a U.S. port-of-entry within the validity of the visa, which will be a maximum of 6 months from the date of issuance. You must marry your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) within 90 days of your entry into the United States.

I'm curious, how does a flight crew not notice a window entirely missing?!? I get that most of the passengers were near the middle of the craft, but wouldn't it still have been fairly noticeable as the flight attendants were walking down the aisle? Or immediately upon takeoff? Why did it take them reaching 13,000 before it was obvious a window was not there? TFA doesn't really say.

My only guess is that the shades pulled down on most of the windows, not making the situation apparent. But even then, it one would imagine a substantial rattle from wind. Even cracking the window of my car at high speed is incredibly noisy, and my car can only go the fraction of the speed of an airplane. This whole thing is confusing.
The thrust of this article is its final sentence: "that's why I think you should always be wary of SF writers bearing ideas."

Be careful of non-approved thinking!

Also strange is how caring about the future is dastardly 'longtermism', but caring enough about this generation to work on longevity is 'insane'. Really the only acceptable goals are averting climate catastrophe (presumably by stopping oil and gas consumption) and helping the global poor. It would be interesting to know whether the author thinks the global poor should be prevented from using fossil fuels to better their immediate economic situation at the expense of our long-term climate.
The old releases don't become pumpkins immediately upon release of a new one. Things were different around 10, but nowadays, the support expectations are pretty clear[1]. FreeBSD 12 support ends at the end of this year, so not a good choice for new users; FreeBSD 13 support is expected to end in January 2026, so if you install today, you don't need a major update for about two years. That's plenty of time to try it and see if you like it. If there's a critical feature in the upcoming release that you'd like, RCs are available in advance of release, but IMHO, I wouldn't suggest that as a matter of course for a new user; sometimes RCs have rough edges and that's not a great intro. But you know, up to you.

In the past, waiting for an X.1 release was advised by some, but I don't think that's necessary anymore.

Thanks for the proofread! I had so much text juggling between this and the README that it was guaranteed some things would fall through the cracks! I updated the things you mentioned about `stackSum` and thanks for the catch on the `sumIn` definition.

I actually don't remember anymore what std::deque does under the hood, I did look into it, but the only thing I remember is that it was quite slow!

> You'd have to template the code on `radius` instead of passing it in as a runtime parameter so that the compiler could lower the divisions to bitshifts.

Yes, I really like this idea. Especially because radii only really vary between 1-48px for most drop shadow needs. It would be nice to have a handful of the common radii be ripping fast.

That's the idea. If the OS is immutable, where do you put them?

They would be in the PXE image. There was one time I flubbed on this actually. I had to change export options on our PXE servers to fix something and I forgot to change it back adding my poor excuse of multitasking and being lazy. This was in a Dev environment we also used PXE in production believe it or not. A developer sitting across from me said he changed something in the image by mistake and I said, "That's not possi... oh crap." It was cool of them to call it out right away. Attackers probably won't be so kind.
Oh god.

Since FreeBSD is on the front page today, I thought this is a good time to learn from the collective wisdom of this community. 5 simple questions to those who use FreeBSD to stir up a conversation.

1. Where do you use FreeBSD? On your laptop? Remote servers? Routers?

2. Why do you use FreeBSD instead of Linux?

3. Why do you use FreeBSD instead of OpenBSD or another *BSD?

4. Do you find something lacking in FreeBSD? Is there something that is good in another OS that you'd like to see in FreeBSD?

5. What is that one thing about FreeBSD that you would hate to lose if you were forced to use another OS?

Is it worth it? What's a "real" user?

I don't think I've ever had $200 of value out of a social media site when I compare it to, say, Netflix during its prime, or YouTube Premium, both of which are in the same ballpark. Do people spend hours a day on Facebook and feel like they got good value out (I don't mean scrolling that people regret and would rather quit).

Now for communication I can understand the value, but I don't think Messenger or WhatsApp are ad supported directly like this so I would assume aren't covered by the subscription?
The level of entitlement here is outrageous. Social media monetizes via ads. Whether or not you like that practice, if you're going to force them to allow users to turn the ads off, how can you complain about them charging a monthly subscription?

Also, it's such a controversial thing you would think if the difference was so stark The Verge, Linus Tech Tips or Max Tech, etc. would, you know, actually measure it.

The only kinda objective side-by-side test I could find, on typical workloads, was this 2 year old video on the M1 which stated the 8gb did well on typical multitask workloads. For Chrome tab test the bottleneck was the internet speed, not RAM. Lightroom and Final Cut Export was slower, but typical multitasking workloads basically matched.

Then step one is to enslave an entire nation of people to force them to pay for your megaproject. Given that the existing nations large enough to do such projects in a reasonable timeframe are disinterested in anything that doesn't expand or perpetuate their dominion over territory solely on Earth (even the Apollo program was an anti-USSR thing), that means either going to war with one of them (again, gigabucks required to begin, along with a willingness to engage in large scale violence) or starting a new one (which takes generations, which is too slow given the rate of Earth's current inhabitants actively incinerating their existing society).

Not enough people accept cryptocurrency to amass usable gigabucks to hire an army; the existing issuers of money already thought of that avenue even before Satoshi. Your assets as a private citizen can never be used to raise an army, no matter how wealthy you become, as your bank balance exists only as long as the state says it exists. (This is why Musk says Putin is the richest person in the world and not himself. True wealth is not measured in USD or RMB or even kilograms of gold, but in opportunity.)

That only leaves the current plan, which is to delay that incineration, and develop the technology to escape independent of (although naturally with the tacit approval of) one of the existing states.
Good point -- I actually have tested and can only manage a 2.5Gbps link between the 2 devices and two drops I have to test with. I also agree 10Gbps is likely to be good enough for quite some time.

Running fiber across the house to my office at the far corner gives me the option of future-proofing a potentially higher speed link then offloading to usable copper closer to the point of usage.

French citizen here, I'm really surprised by what your saying as it doesn't match at all what I've seen about french higher education.

> French taxation is incredibly complex and heavy on the middle class

Yes and no. French taxation can be complex, but it's also mostly pre-filled and automatized. For most people, it's simply a matter of checking if the tax form is correct (and I've never had an incorrect one so far, as my employer automatically transmit my paycheck info to the government)

> Life grinds to a halt with some regularity due to general strikes

There are often disturbance due to strike, but "Life grinds to a halt" is also widely hyperbolic. The last real impactful strike I remember was the late 2019 month-long strike on parisian public transport, which was annoying (and was quickly followed by Covid lockdown)

But I also agree on many points you bring, there tend to be far less upward social mobility than in the USA (I'm always surprised by how fast people seem to be promoted in the USA), and generally more disposable income and opportunities. On the other hand, instead of having everyone thinking themselves as "temporary embarrassed millionaires", it's more accepted that even lower socio-economic classes should have decent working and living conditions, along with a better safety net.

On the plus side, apparently very few place in the USA are actually walk-able, even the malls seems to need a long drive instead of being part of living in a city.
There also aren't any food desert, with unprocessed food cheap, tasty[1] and widely available. Also, while there certainly are a fair share of drugs and homelessness, it's quite also quite safe[2].

Useless summary of what is clearly another source, without an obvious link to that actual source, no photos of the experiment and a bunch of secondhand discussion. Just repost garbage, likely to drive ad views (not that I'm willing to turn off ad blocking to find out).

The actual source article (https://www.storagereview.com/review/solving-steam-deck-shad...) is sort of pointless too, but in a more fun experimentation way. The "is this possible even though you wouldn't want to do it" way.
one small detail to clarify.

We can't build a general 'halting determiner' for any arbitrary program.

But to say that for any particular program a halting machine can be developed is a different proposition.

A simple example is the fact we don't have to run this code for ever to determine if it halts or not:

```
while(true){}

```

but we won't ever get a function() named X that outputs halt/not where x(turning machine / computer program).

we able to, however, make a X(TM/C) where it outputs trivially halts or undetermined (past y steps).
The big news about this release is that you don't need the original anymore.

> C++ has had slow compile times since forever, and so will Rust.

Rust has a massive advantage, which is having a 'sanctioned' package manager and built-time capabilities. A huge part of Rust's slowdown is due to:

a) Having to compile build scripts

b) Those build scripts being built without optimizations (100s of times slower at runtime)

If cargo + crates.io supports pre-built dependencies that is a massive optimization.

This isn't theoretical or optimistic, it's just a fact - we can already see this by compiling build and proc macro crates with optimizations, it's just not the default and they still have to be compiled once. IF you remove that compilation time, again, it's not theoretical, it's turning N time spent on those deps into 0 time spent.

There is easily a 200% performance win available, just from the known optimizations that are on the table.

The issue I have with the base model Mac's being under-memoried is that the base models are the high volume models that have sales and are easier to get at vendors other than the Apple Store.

iPhone's have been under memoried at significant periods during their life, but most stores carried an upgraded model. I find the non base model Mac's often aren't available at launch, have longer lead times and force you to go to the Apple Store where you won't get any discount of any kind and often find a longer lead time even there.

There is a cross section of Macrumors that behaves like tech YouTube. That is, they're obsessed with on-paper specs (rather than real-world performance) and have a hair-trigger on calling out Apple for insufficient spec bumps. 8GB is still sufficient for many workloads, and where it isn't, memory optimization by macOS and fast SSD swap can make up the difference.

I think many people fail to realize that the starting price is dependent on the 8GB configuration, and if Apple bumps it up, then we'll have the same people complaining about the entry-level price. There's no winning with some people.

Not sure what the condescending tone is for...

I do have quite extensive experience with it. And it is a difficult problem.

Lots of frameworks/languages deal with them differently (dlqs, auto-retry, etc.), and each has its pros and cons. In addition, one should have to weigh how important each task is and determine if a 1 in million loss justifies having an extensive resiliency built in.

If Elixir has done that out of the box with a few lines of code like you say, great to hear. And Id love to try it out on day.
Counterflow heat exchangers easily approach 100% efficiency. It needs to be large enough, and needs sensors to control the flow, but both of those are trivial at this scale.
