> They sure can. Years ago I had a shitty landlord clear an apartment I'd moved 95% of my belongings from but before the term of my lease had ended. Now you may have some legal recourse, but the cost/time associated with litigating a matter like that tends to outweigh the remedy.

The existence of legal standing is what defines the property rights. If you're going to move the goalposts to "you don't own it unless you have legal standing and the means to pursue legal recourse", then you might as well say that only the extremely wealthy have any property rights at all.

WoW totally compromised its economy over time because they never solved inflation, but in vanilla before everyone had tons of money (and I guess in each expansion I played also), the fact that mounts and epic mounts took legitimately hard-to-obtain amounts of money was very fun and made them very rewarding to finally obtain.

WhatsApp is no longer running FreeBSD. Prior to acquisition, everything was bare metal managed hosting at SoftLayer and we had all FreeBSD except one Linux host for reasons I can't remember (maybe an expirement for calling?). After acquisition, there was a migration to Facebook hosting that included moving to Facebook's flavor of containerized Linux.

Not because Linux is better, but to fit better within Facebook's operations[1], and Erlang runs on many platforms, so it was a much smaller effort to get our code running on Linux than to get FB's server management software to work for FreeBSD. Server hardware was quite a bit different, so we had no apples to apples comparisons of which OS was more efficient or whatever else. During initial migration, BEAM support of kqueue was much better than epoll, but that got worked out, and I feel like Linux's memory usage reporting is worse than FreeBSD's, but it's a weakness of both. I was never comfortable in the FB server environment, so I left in late 2019, when the FreeBSD server count was reduced to a small enough number that I ran out of things to do.

[1] Much of the server team had experience with acquisitions at Yahoo! and the difficulties of making an operations team focused on one OS support acquired teams on another OS. With the many other technical and policy differences between WA and FB, eliminating the OS difference was an easy choice to reduce friction. Our host count, which was large at SoftLayer, was small at Facebook, even after factoring in increased numbers because the servers were smaller and the operations less stable.

Anecdotal, but with Google Photos, I've observed data loss to the point where I no longer trust the service with anything valuable.

Photos I know I've taken are missing. There are periods of time when I walked around a city 10+ years ago taking a large volume of photos, like when I first moved to Seattle. Going back to that window of time in Google Photos, I only have a handful of photos from that walk.

There are also partially corrupted photos from many years back. Photos that only partially render, or render as noise.

Luckily, all of these are random low-value photos from my youth. They aren't core memories of my kiddos growing up or anything. I'm glad I discovered the data loss in that window of time, and not by losing photos of my kiddos' birthdays.

Nah. "Beef" is too broad a category. There are lean cuts and high fat cuts, there are many methods of preparation and countless ways to season. Someone eating maple glazed brisket with a side of extra crispy bacon and buttered scrambled eggs is very different from someone else eating a grilled sirloin seasoned with salt and black pepper.

This crusade against red meat is honestly tiring.

I subscribe to "eat a little bit of everything in moderation. Mostly what's available in nature and what someone in a farm or at home could produce. Be mindful of the total number of calories. Try not to burn or overcook food in general. Exercise a little bit most days. Don't neglect sleep."

I just bought a refurbished HL-L8360CDW, a current model. It reads a physical toner reset gear on each cartridge. Resetting the toner is a matter of adding a missing gear (starter cartridges) or turning it to the reset position (retail cartridges). The printer has absolutely no way to know if a cartridge is genuine or reused.

The starter cartridges even come from the factory with a fill port covered by a removable plug.

The above applies to Brother printers that use TN43x series cartridges. Cheaper models have the reset chip dance.
All I know about this is that during grad school, I had to crawl under a multi-ton supercooled superconducting magnet (an NMR machine) and turn two knobs to make a number get as small as possible- this was adjusting the impedance of the RF (NMR works by putting a sample in a huge magnetic field and then bombarding it with RF, then switching from transmitter to receiver and detecting the faint echos of energy leaving your system).

The magnetic field is so strong you can't have any digital electronics within meters of the NMR- but you can put some impedance matching analog network along with a couple potentiometers and 7-segment displays so a human brain and hands (which are much less affected by magnetism) can reduce radio reflections.

RF (and all AC) still seems like spooky magic to me, fortunately I don't deal with signals above 100khz.
Well, it doesn't even work for the next lesson because repeating something in your short term memory doesn't do anything. I've tried it. You can write it a hundred times and still forget it in two days (been there, done that). Or you could do a flash card and first try to remember the character without seeing it. Then when you review it tomorrow (in the same way, first get the defition/pronunciation and try to REMEMBER), you will remember it somewhat without seeing it first and will be able to get started on writing it, maybe even remember the rest of it.
I've heard people want such precision for proximity based services, like buying something from a vending machine in front of you by solely interfacing with your location instead of establishing a link to it.

My honest advice: Get out of the Hacker News hivemind.

The folks on this site act like every programming job is either at a FAANG/MAGMA company, a startup, or not in tech. They are wrong.

If you are willing to look outside the valley (but still in almost any big city or suburb), there are oceans of tech companies that work in like, financial compliance dashboards or healthcare documentation or if you’re OK with it defense contractors. You can make $150-250k easy. Your life will involve waking up, attending a standup on Google Meet, adding an endpoint to a REST API, sending it off to be tested, then around 2 you fix whatever the testers found, send it off again, then clock out once there’s nothing else in your swim lane (possibly before 5).

You won’t get equity, and you won’t have the outlandish salaries people are always talking about on HN, but you’ll also have the freedom to not think about your job outside of work hours. If what you want is to leverage your skills into a comfortable life where you can spend time with your kids, this is the move.

I’ve seen people burn out and try to leave tech for greener pastures, it often doesn’t turn out as well as they expect. In other fields, you’ll be a lot more fungible and you’ll come to realize how much cushion and leverage developers get from being a somewhat scarce resource.

They need the data and look for it and it's not there, but they remember they put it there?

At my job if a log file or data recording is too big for jira, but need to be attached to a bug report we sometimes store them on google drive. And then we link it from the ticket. If much later we get back to it and the link is 404 that would make us suspicious. If someone remembers the link working before that would make it clear it is not just a copy paste error with the url.

I agree with what you have said but have an additional worry. It seems to me that the standard logic we use might be heavily rooted in the real world. It either rains or doesn't rain seems to closely reflect how the classical world works. But would we intuitively accept the same laws of logic if we lived in an universe that was obviously some kind of many worlds universe, where it always rains and doesn't rain?

There's likely some work in the direction of numerical analysis, computable analysis, and formal logic -- all of which tries to make numerical programming more rigorous -- which might also address some of the philosophical unease people have about the real numbers.

In computable analysis, the real numbers are there, and we may compute directly on them using a machine model. In this framework, all computable functions are continuous, and conversely, nearly all continuous functions encountered in practice are computable. It's neat, but exposure to numerical analysis reveals two holes.

First hole is: The time and memory costs of such a theory are infeasible. You can try to fix it by replacing reals with rationals, but rationals are also not feasible for similar reasons. Ultimately, we are led to the floating point numbers, which allow us to rigorously control time and memory usage. We can attempt to make floats more rigorous by replacing them with intervals, but intervals are impractical for a different set of reasons.

Second hole is: People routinely compute things which are uncomputable. For instance, the Singular Value Decomposition in linear algebra is uncomputable, while also being a staple of numerical computing. This is clearly a problem for the definition of the term "uncomputable". When diagnosing the problem, you can see that in numerical linear algebra, there are three relevant notions: Forward error, backward error, and condition number. The example of SVD is "uncomputable" because it is impossible to devise an algorithm which has arbitrarily low forward error. But we can devise an algorithm with arbitrarily low backward error and condition numbers for the output matrices. If you consider instead computing the Jordan Normal Form, then this is in some sense "more uncomputable" than SVD, since any algorithm which guarantees a low backward error is forced to output high condition-numbered matrices; and vice versa.

You might be referring to this, which I think is even more accurate. Dave Herman quotes him:

https://www.thefeedbackloop.xyz/stroustrups-rule-and-layerin...

One of my favorite insights about syntax design appeared in a retrospective on C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup:

For new features, people insist on LOUD explicit syntax.

For established features, people want terse notation.

I call this Stroustrup's Rule. Part of what I love about his observation is that it acknowledges that design takes place over time, and that the audience it addresses evolves. Software is for people and people grow.

Side note: Dave Herman is Rust's most unrecognized contributor: https://brson.github.io/2021/05/02/rusts-most-unrecognized-c...

I often notice that the actual Rust authors and designers respect and are influenced by C++ very much. (Niko M is another C++ fan)

It's only the randoms online that like to start C++ vs. Rust arguments.

Another thing to note is that the Mozilla Rust is MUCH closer to C++ than Graydon's Rust was. Graydon's Rust was not at all about zero-cost abstraction, the shared motto of C++ and Rust.

Sorry, "tearing" isn't the correct word. I use the swipe gesture to "peak" at another workspace - if I have a video playing in that workspace, for example, it'll have artifacts in the playback while I'm mid-swipe.

You have even less recourse against the average burglar than the average landlord.

Where I live, you can literally kill the average burglar for breaking into your home. That is pretty much the ultimate recourse.

If you're not home and the police can find your burglar, you can legally press charges against him/her.
> Is this brave new world better than cash? Pretty much it is.

I guess it depends on what you consider "better". I think it's worse overall, personally. Sure, there are safety gains, but they're overshadowed (in my opinion) by the losses in other areas.
If that's the case, they should really fall back on a grep of the codebase because whatever is "under the hood" sucks. It routinely returns no results for exact string matches in code. These days I clone the repo and use ripgrep instead of codesearch because it's worse than useless, it's wrong.
3-2-1 strategy is also a good idea. The SSD in a safe place is great but in case of deep catastrophe, I prefer some sort of easy-access cloud solution, preferably one that's zero knowledge, either because it has it baked in or because you use something like cryptomator.

For cloud backup of anything i've never trusted Google for shit, even aside from its grotesquely parasitic "privacy" policies (a complete joke of a word for anything to do with that company).

Instead, so far I've tried several and maybe unexpectedly, the most easy to work with and simply functional across multiple machines and several external drives has been SpiderOak. Its desktop interface is shit, but the overall service is easy to use and has never failed me one so far, and it constantly, incrementally conducts deduplicated backups of even minor file/folder changes as long as it's running.

As a second option, Arq has been nice too, though its UI is also rather clumsy.

Why is your default assumption that physicists haven't tried to make it discrete? You need to break Lorentz invariance to have the universe be discrete, which is an effort that's worth a Nobel prize.

> The allocator does not matter

The allocator gets address space. The OS doesn't just shove things into your process in general. It can't return a 52 bit pointer out of nowhere. My first draft mentioned OS explicitly but it's not really the OS that's making the decisions.

> What it does is show that there is no correlation between the physical and virtual address spaces

It does show that, but that decorrelation is neither necessary nor sufficient to solve this problem.

> Missing the point, the example of LAA shows that the OS can provide different virtual address spaces to different processes.

I agree with that. In the context of your overall post it wasn't clear to me that that was why you mentioned it.
