I have only faint memories of my beginner's course on this topic at university, and absolutely no knowledge.

Somehow I remember the word MOSFET.

I think the wikipedia articles about logic gates should provide all necessary cross references.

"Fully understand" is an elusive term though. How do you fully understand the solid-state physics of logic gates if you don't fully understand all of physics, chemistry, maybe even quantum mechanics...

Not meaning to be dismissive though! I love to try to fully understand things and hate having to accept black box logic. But I also have to admit that I've given up on this approach for many things a long time ago.

Skimming the course summary, it sounds as if this "Hardware Description Language" might mark the boundary of what this course is about.

Makes sense, it's not "from physics to NAND", it's "from NAND to Tetris" :)
I was using a water pick the other day and a molar crown flew off with a post and all the build off from a root canal. It was not original part of me but it was. I tried to put it back but it was way back there and the post was quiet long to guided myself back to the hole in the tooth. I had my wife put back. It felt whole again.

The tooth is a goner now and the fourth implant is now being scheduled.

A bone graph will be put and my brain is going to have get use to the missing
tooth for a few months.

A titanium post driven into my jaw with some sort drill and then a ratchet tool that will screw a post that will hold a new shiny synthetic molar capable of incredible dynamic pressures.

My brain will then get used to the new molar. Long live plasticity.

1%. It is at 2% now. Which isn't a knock on what Tesla is doing today, but to tell how it pales in comparison to what the company will be doing 1,000 years from now. We are still in very early days.

If that is how you want to measure it, Tesla hasn't been built yet. It is still under construction. No matter how you slice it, it is impossible for Musk to have built Tesla.
The URL length limit seems pretty reasonable, especially since the URL is a highly user visible component, so overly long URLs annoy/harm users much more than web devs (just think of pasting this super-long url into chat or company wiki!)

In particular, I think the URL should be copy-pasteable at all times, and according to your google's link, that means 32KB limit. I'd lower it to 8 KB just to be safe in case there is URL encoding involved.
So you're saying he doesn't have a PR firm and besides that acts like any other billionaire.

Neither autism nor cyber crime of this type are a life sentence to anywhere.

Autism is not a condition that is treatable by mental institutions. Its like sentencing someone to a mental institution for being left-handed.

While I wouldn't agree with this solution either, even lifetime home monitoring would be infintely more humane and rational. That is, depriving the guy of computer access. Why was that solution skipped in favor of an extremely brutal one?

If it was tried and failed, then that's a failure of monitoring. The bridging logic and justice isn't "okay, mental institution".

The noise levels are bearable, the constant sound is comparable to the noise generated by other home appliances (although the original location was not ideal). We moved it to my an unused room so it's not audible anymore.

The 1996 movie Jack with Robin Williams had a joke playing off this. I don’t remember the joke exactly, but one of the boys asks Jack if he’s ever had an erection, and he says something like “No, but I was hoping to get one for my birthday.”
I love this! Simple and solid execution. I've been wanting to build something similar for some time now, might fork and play around with it. Thank you for open sourcing it!

I've started using Obsidian with a new note for each day and separating "blocks" with a Markdown horizontal rule (`---`) to achieve something similar, but this is much cleaner.

The strength of such an approach is making capture extremely easy -- new block, start writing, no thinking about where this goes and how to fit it into pre-existing structure. I find that if I'm trying to do that, then by the time I find where my idea goes, I've lost the idea.

The downside, of course, is finding things again. The ability to tag or title a block and search by tag or title would be great. More ambitiously, it would be cool to experiment with incorporating LLMs and embeddings to automatically tag, summarize, categorize, cluster etc. your blocks.

There's a lot of different directions one could take this, but I'll echo the sentiment of others to refrain from adding too many features and losing the original appeal of simplicity. :)

Also: How do you handle performance when the buffer gets very large?
I'm happy with Vercel's restrictions, especially considering I'm only using their very generous free tier.

The biggest practical reason I can think of is directly relevant to their free tier: they cache heavily, that's not quite the whole point of the platform but it's a large part of its appeal to me. They're obviously not going to be able to cache everything even with a limit as low as 14kB, but they're happy-pathing projects that are at least vaguely amenable to caching.

In the meantime, I get to throw code at them and not care about where or how they execute it, and I really like that.
> I don't want to have to smell that unpleasant plant on the streets or public transit or other public places.

I'd like that. Second-hand marijuana gives me a headache, often before I even consciously notice the smell (so I can't hold my breath or walk away).

That said, having non-smoking areas means we need to have dedicated smoking areas, otherwise it's just an indirect ban on smokers. Habit-forming drugs are hard to kick, so – at least until we have a readily-available way for people to take them without polluting the atmosphere – we need common, dedicated areas where people can take them, accessible within a few minutes' walk of most public spaces and workplaces.

To be clear, I don't think that they do. To be honest, I am mostly confused by your post, not because I disagree, but because I am unsure how you came to the conclusion that I believe these things.
No matter what ideology one follows, the pervasive nature of platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and other interactive social media is inevitably problematic. This issue extends to platforms like X and Substack as well, which, despite their unique offerings, are not immune to the fundamental pitfalls of social media. They are breeding grounds for propaganda and contribute to a harmful addiction to endless, mindless scrolling. These platforms often become echo chambers, reinforcing misinformation and diminishing the quality of discourse. The risk is universal; irrespective of personal beliefs or ideologies, anyone can get infected by this detrimental cycle.

Both sides are to blame, left and right.
Amazing, and congrats on building it! Any plans on supporting Ruby syntax?
>I am 50 years old, and live a reasonably opulent, upper-middle class, big city life.

This indicates to me that you don't actually know the price of anything, particularly post-pandemic. E.g., a middle-of-the-road mattress costs $800. A good one sets you back 2 grand.
I always chuckle at the "It's not DNS...it was DNS" line because in my experience, the problem is usually actually DHCP.

I'm struggling with a problem where a VM is supposed to get an IP address from the host, but it takes forever to do so. The host is telling me it has assigned an IP, but the VM says it hasn't. It can take anywhere from 10-60 minutes for the VM to actually get the IP that the host has assigned.

What are segmented transfers?
There's no good reason for absurdly long URL's to exist in the first place.

URL's are meant for human consumption and use -- to be copied and pasted, to fit in a message, to be typed in. They're analogous to phone numbers and addresses.

They're meant to be a pointer, a location, an index. Not a data payload. That's what POST variables are for.

No, web browsers shouldn't introduce an arbitrary limit to URL lengths. But for web hosts, it's entirely reasonable.

I mean, what, do you think filenames or filepaths should be 2 MB as well? That's absurd. But URL's are basically just the filenames of the internet.
>>>The conflict is insignificant in the sense that hundreds of thousands have been killed and displaced in other conflicts raging in the middle east, which has been largely ignored by the international community and the "ceasefire" crowd.

We are talking about the displacement of 2.3m people, so rather more. As to being allowed to go back- to what? Schools and hospitals have been demolished, there's no justification for that. Clear the building and move on, I'm struggling to understand why you would destroy a school etc.
The conclusion you might come to is that with nothing left there, Palestinians 'should move into the Sinai' aka displacement.
To add to this, denying access to medical supplies is not humane (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/5/israel-and-who-in-o... This is the WHO complaining here) and appears to be encouraging diseases to spread, killing more of the population.

As you have implied, this conflict extends well back before Oct, we could look at several incidents which have been ignored such as the 2018 Gaza border peaceful protests where Palestinians were massacred (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932019_Gaza_border_...) With incidents like that, denying access to basic human rights like water and electricity (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_...), this exacerbates the problems there massively. These are things which can be fixed from the Israeli side why aren't they?

To illustrate how disjointed the Israeli government thinking is, and how unlikely this conflict is about Hamas, I'd point you to https://www.axios.com/2023/03/20/bezalel-smotrich-jordan-gre...

When the senior finance minister is saying things like this, in addition to the many faked IDF videos eg. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-blames-translati...

You may well doubt the veracity of statements from Israel on an endgame plan. I would suggest, if you live there, talk to Palestinians in the West Bank, to appreciate the full extent of the impact Israeli policy (https://www.vox.com/world-politics/2023/11/22/23972908/pales... and illegal settlement in the West Bank) is having.

I appreciate your principled stance on the conflict, but if the time comes for you to hand in your passport, it will be too late by then.

It's actually just that I'm in the process of moving from Obsidian to vscode in general. (Lack of a mobile version of vscode is a problem though!)
I think you misunderstood me; I was making an analogy.

All systems have some form of common ground or central point. That does not make every system “centralized”. With the example given upthread, blockchain, there is the development team, or standards organization, which is a central controlling point of the blockchain. Does this make all blockchains centralized? No. In the same way, a common root zone does not make the DNS centralized.

The router spits out a ragged Tensor, and those parts can be delivered efficiently.).

While I have a sibling comment to yours saying I'm quite happy with the imposition of the limit, in my day job I frequently find code that pushes the boundaries of "reasonable" and I'm fairly sure we will exceed 14kB. But we don't use Vercel at work, so it's fine.

I suspect that while it's a reasonable limit for them, it probably won't work very well to impose a limit on an established code base that's not been built with a limit in mind.
Organizations should treat all physical networks, including the ones in their own offices, as untrusted. If they are trusting an internal network these days, they are doing something wrong.
Personally, I think that a skilled exploiter is the one who finds such an easy loophole and exploits it efficiently and first; not the one who writes the most impressive code or finds the deepest algorithmic backdoor. I respect social engineering as much as anything when it comes to this domain.

You can put much more stuff in the url fragment (location.hash). Like megabytes. No host can stop you, even vercel, as it stays on the client. As a bonus, you can keep all your logic in one place.

I'm not a fan of anything that has the word "rehydration" in it. Server is good at some stuff. Client is good at other stuff. Trying to blur the boundary seems like an engineering exercise in search of an application.

You drive a car of type Model Z. Someone, looking at a crash of a Model Z which was going 50 mph, discovers a design flaw that is particularly acute when the car is driven faster than 70. Do you:

* adjust your driving behavior in accordance with whatever bayesian impact the new data has?

* psychoanalyze the person doing the research, or decide that nothing that happens at 50 mph could tell you something about the behavior at 70 to reassure yourself you can ignore the new data?

What's with the markdown craze? I get the usefulness in software development – plain text matters for diffs, and everyone's got their favorite editor.

But when it comes to note-taking apps, wouldn't a WYSIWYG approach, where markdown is kept out of sight, be more user-friendly?

Take Obsidian, for example. It has this clunky live preview feature where the line you're working on keeps morphing into markdown. Super awkward.
I agree with your final sentence that businesses often undertake very ill-advised software projects. However I don't think the building analogy is very illuminating here; the thing about buildings is that while they have complexity, the costs, benefits and use cases are a lot more intuitive and can be explained to an FP&A professional who can use pretty standard methods to project potential outcomes across a wide range of projects.

Software is not like this as there is no limit to the scope that can be built in to a single app. You don't have the constraints of physical space, materials and human use cases and locality. The "load-bearing" aspects of software are not just physical infrastructure with CPU/memory limits, but also fundamental choices in the data model, some things more than others, and what starts out as a casual choice can become load bearing if further construction builds on that assumption. Buildings don't have legacy data.

> When you create a coffee shop, you build it to have a specific, repeatable, singular user experience.

I can't tell if you're suggesting software should be built this way, but after 25 years in the consumer space in multiple startups, scaleups, and largish companies, I have never seen any software company succeed based on rigidly adhering to singular user experience in this way. Even when you can describe the experience simply, the details and tradeoffs are enormous, and companies that win are the ones that are able to iterate quickly without letting the quality degrade to the point that the wheels come off. Facebook vs Friendster vs MySpace is a pretty good example. In my own founding experience, I was able to bootstrap a streaming service to 6-figure subscribers over 8 years leaving behind a graveyard of failed competitors because they couldn't thread the needle between good UX, good engineering, and the right content investment.

I'm sure it's different in well established and standardized corners of B2B and industrial software where you are not subject to the fickle nature of consumers, but in B2C you are default-dead if you insist on some kind of fixed requirement and long-term vision that doesn't change.
