No, because Teslas don't support it and you're stuck with whatever they thought of.
Go already implements many of these ideas. There's os/exec (and syscall.ForkExec), and io/fs (albeit it's a family of interfaces, rather than a descriptor you could pass between processes).

It had to ban forking, because of the guarantees made by the runtime (and all the "weird" OSs it runs on, like Windows). The API is clean and easy to work with, but don't look at the implementation ;)

Right, had to scroll a long way to find this but there is a quite outrageous claim that it’ll be cheaper:

> Influit expects that its current generation of nanoelectrofuel, together with the entire ecosystem needed to produce, distribute, and recycle the fuel that the company is building around it, should cost $130/kWh when used in an EV. In comparison, lithium-ion batteries cost around $138/kWh.

No details given of how they arrived at this figure. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

My customers are using Celery for Python and Sidekiq for Ruby. Those are parts of Django and Rails web apps. Those customers don't mix languages so they don't need workers able to run code in multiple languages. One of them is also using SQS though so we could receive a JSON in a server written in any language, do some processing and return the result. However the database of that app has been "destroyed by design" by using Django's ORM inheritance (my suggestion: never use it) so nothing can interact effectively with it except Python code using the same models.

By the way, celery was born as a protocol spec to support multiple languages but never moved past Python. I can't google a quote for that, I remember I saw it years ago in the documentation somewhere.
What does your poor choice of ICE cars have to say about Tesla though? Having a crap experience across the board isn't a redeeming feature you think it is.
Python has a culture that sees writing C libraries as "Python" code, hence why.

It is quite common to see "Python" libraries that are just thin bindings layers, they could just as well be "Tcl" libraries for that matter.

If you were to use SQL as designed, with an idealized implementation, you would first query the users and then run a query for each user to retrieve the the corresponding posts. That is what the example given describes.

I know that's not exactly practical in the real world. Maybe if you dataset is tiny you can get away with it, but any more you'll soon be killed by the overhead of all those queries in the datacenter, let alone over flaky networks.

So, in the real world you have to find a workaround. Using a join here is a decent workaround with decent tradeoffs. You can condense what might be hundreds of queries into one. It does not come free. There is no free lunch. But the tradeoffs are acceptable in a lot of cases.

But we're also talking about the simplest case imaginable. While it is a reasonable tradeoff for that simple example, those hacks don't scale particularly well as the complexity grows. SQL is not designed for one query to return everything and the kitchen sink.

Is there also a Premise (0) that goes unstated, namely that being "great" has a partial ordering (a necessary condition for a being-none-greater to be a coherent formulation), or does Anselm address this? I find it difficult to judge, for example, whether this cup of tea is greater than that palm tree, or whether this composer is greater than that wristwatch; yet Anselm seems to consider it obvious that I could conceive of a being or thing strictly "greater" than all of them.

sccache mostly helps to cut down build times. For saving space, the simplest trick is to use the same target/ for all your projects, by setting

export CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/absolute/path/to/target

Then you can just periodically nuke it once it grows too big. You can combine that with sccache (two-line setup as elsewhere in this thread) so nuking your target dir isn't as big of an impact on your build times.

Though beware that projects that share a target dir can't build simultaneously. If you have multiple projects open that can get annoying, because it can also effect the language server. I'm that case you can use gentler measures like cargo-sweep.

It's not worth trying to force people to work and share income with anyone they deem ugly. It will add cognitive load / dissonance and hurt their performance. Lookism is not okay, this is not about endorsing these kinds of behaviors, but nor it is something that can be instantly nullified by just coming up with the labeling.

Maybe isolating cubicle walls, snail mails, audio-only telephones, and non-engineer sales representatives were good things. And possibly VR avatars in the future too.

I don't know on what I can elaborate.

Storing integers that are near each other is much more optimal in a RoaringBitmap than in a flat array. The reason is that it will only store the integers by storing the high part once and the low part in an array or bitmap efficiently.

Also we already use RoaringBitmaps on the other end of Meilisearch and converting that to another data structure could take a lot of times.

This is not about failure rates or an indication of quality. This is faults found during a scheduled inspection.

Normally this means finding faults that occur since the last maintenance interval. If a car has a long or no maintenance interval (like Tesla) then more faults are expected.

Also note that failure can mean windshield wiper needing replacement or headlight re alignment rather than a premature part failure.
Still few here in UK, like PC Pro. Remember it all well like computer fairs and small little retail outlets selling ram, motherboards, GPUs. This is before PCWorld, Currys started selling completed packaged PCs. Fond memories
And this is exactly why that report is somewhat misleading. On the cheaper end of cars, a lot of those are not maintained regularly, and this is the reason why they fail in the first place. And if you look closely, in most cases the reason for the fail has something to do with lights or brakes or tires. Stuff which does not cost much to fix in a Dacia, but is crazy expensive on the upper end, BMW etc.

I had the first major issue with my Dacia since I bought it 7 years ago, and it had something to do with the LPG installation, and it was about 1000€. From a TCO standpoint of view, that car is so dirt cheap, only my little Seat Mii (CNG) - which I bought used, is cheaper.

"Success has two letters: DO!"

Many people think success is luck and luck is on some kind of lottery-level probability.

While luck is a huge part of success, consistently doing things towards it increases the probability drastically.

> The same binary can be run by multiple users and the user running it affects what files it can read and write.

What you're proposing is not even possible with standard Unix permissions (without leaving a huge security hole). You're suggesting that each program can create the state for each user inside the program's directory but somehow cannot read or modify the state for other users.

This suggests the program runs with each user's privileges and therefore these directories would require the sticky bit for state creation (like /tmp does) but this would not prevent a user from roguely creating the state for another user (this is why files in /tmp should be created with random names, they should not be predictable).

Or maybe you're suggesting that all apps should run with setuid privileges (so that they can create the state for each user, but users themselves couldn't) but we already know that would be absolutely terrible for security.

So something like AppArmor (which AFAIK has security flaws) or even SELinux would be required to implement this scheme, I believe, if it's possible at all.

SELinux, AppArmor and other jail-like mechanisms can be a huge burden to manage, especially since most apps would require a substantial number of exceptions to a default security policy (think GUI apps, or apps that require access to a user's files, for example)...

Since most apps do require read/write access to a user's files, or permission to show things on a screen, I'm not sure if you're gaining much security with your scheme. There would be almost infinite ways for an app to exfiltrate or modify a user's files or trick the user into doing things on behalf of the app, I think (like running other apps...).

And if you're implementing a restrictive security policy with something like SELinux or even some kind of container/jail, you might as well do the same but without having to change each and every app to use the weird per-app directory containing the state of all users. This would save you a huge amount of work and potential security vulnerabilities, since private home directories are already secure by default (in terms of protecting a user from other users) and restricting an app not to access the state of other apps could be equally done when using home directories.

> The user has an idea on what the same app is. Unfortunately Nix does not properly understand this concept.

So a user can decide what "Firefox" is? Then what prevents a user from installing a rogue Firefox that exfiltrates the other users' state, in your scheme?

> That is one place. Some programs don't use it. It's not a centralized place of state for every program.

It is for programs that run system-wide and they should be using it.

Which system-wide programs are not using /var/lib for their mutable state?

It's not like they have many other places to save their state... I mean, there is /var/cache but that's for state that can be removed without data loss.

Yep, RISC-V is supposed to become an heaven for assembly written programs as it is an ISA standard, namely it will "work" on CPUs from many vendors.

The main pitfall while writing assembly is the abuse of a preprocessor. Being dependent on the grotesquely and absurdely complex and massive compilers out there is one thing, but moving that dependency to a complex preprocessor is not that much better. So caution and care about that issue must be kept in mind.

I wish all RISC-V CPU vendors to pay the silicium real estate price for 64bits because writting once a 64bits RISC-V code and to be able to "run-ish" it everywhere, from "embeded" to servers passing thru workstation, wow.

I am writting currently x86_64 assembly, namely the manual "register-ization" of some code paths is done, ready for an easy RISC-V port. Not to mention RISC-V has double the amount of registers, and some code paths will really benefits from this additional register space (intel plans to follow that route).

Ofc, this will be mostly micro-arch agnostic assembly code, as it is the case already for x86_64, with maybe simple or very generic static "optimizations" (cache line, alignment, registerization, leveraging some instruction fusions, etc). Worst case scenario, adapted (not rewritten from scratch) assembly written code paths to fit better on a micro-arch with a runtime switch/installation... if really needed. I guess correct code will become very important, maybe more than fast code ("should" become true for hardware design too, if the performance penalty is not too high).

RISC-V will need compiler support though, that for legacy support, and sometimes, humanization of the assembly output of some compiled programs may be usefull.

All that depends on the success or not of RISC-V, which for that will need ultra-performant implementations all over the board, micro-archs and best silicium process.

RISC-V is not perfect, but a more than good enough modern ISA, and the real risk of fragmentation is 32bits/64bits code paths even though some care was provided to make 32bits<->64bits code adapation easy.

Mistakes will be made (micro-arch with critical bugs), so it won't happen overnight.
