The ABI for CentOS Stream can move forward while RHEL stays frozen in time at time of cutting the snapshot. Compiling/building a binary on CentOS Stream at a RHEL release + 1 may mean the binary does not run on that RHEL release.

So unless you know the exact timestamp that RHEL cut their release from CentOS Stream you no longer have the guarantee that it matches RHEL.

Whereas before CentOS WAS an exact copy of RHEL and if I compiled a binary on CentOS 8 it would work without issues on RHEL 8.

The idea is to have the daemon automatically start and serve the git repo anytime a git clone is done, that way the number of nodes hosting the repo (speed of download) grows with the popularity of the repo. That way you could saturate a 10G connection on a popular repo, whereas with github you'll likely be pretty throttled or limited.

>No, it is actually completely correct.

fair enough, I thought that definition was unofficial or marked as slang.

yes, like "literally" having the definition of "figuratively". I would indeed call that a perversion:

>to divert to a wrong end or purpose

most of the time that is at best marked as slang (such as use of a double negative to mean a negative, and not a soft positive), but I guess that's not my call to make.
When dealing with antitrust, the general assumption is that you cannot trust the company (heh). It is rather obvious that a company will do their best to interpret themselves in a way where legislation is less applicable.

In this particular case, the argument is silly: The users are presented with one storefront under one name, where apps can have different degrees of support, and apps can be installed on platforms they were not made for (e.g., iPhone apps on iPad or macOS) despite that they claim those are served by different "stores".

If this argument was valid, you could also say that the Google Play store is not one store, but a gajillion stores for each individual Android device series - e.g., a Google Pixel phone store, a Google Pixel tablet store, a Google TV store, a Samsung phone store, a Samsung tablet store, a...

It is incredibly silly, and serves only to avoid applying the legislation to e.g. Apple TV so they can keep avoiding sideloading and forcing subscription cuts there.

The most interesting design detail in Nebula1 (the close connection between C++ classes and Tcl) was also its biggest problem in Project Nomads.

A lot of Project Nomads consisted of Tcl scripts which directly called into C++ class interfaces exposed to Tcl. This was extremely flexible, but also put too much power into the hands of gameplay scripters which came up with hair-raising workarounds for missing features in the C++ code heh.

Another design wart was that we also closely integrated Tcl into the asset pipeline (e.g. you could attach small Tcl 'scriptlets' directly to Maya 3D objects which then would be evaluated during the asset export). This means we had to carry a small Tcl interpreter in the Maya plugin all the way to the end even though the actual engine long had dropped any support for Tcl scripting.

Project Nomads scripting left such a deep scar that I removed all scripting features in Nebula3 (which the gscept/nebula version is based off, although I see there is some Python support under addons/scripting), and I remain a big sceptic when it comes to integrating 'scripting languages' into game engines. A probably too extremist pov.

TL;DR: don't expose your low level engine APIs to scripting, and don't use the same scripting API for persistency and/or asset pipeline file formats, it will inevitably end in tears ;)

Is that what they are planning to do?

I definitely can see a “store is just an app, you must allow third party apps” as a sort of maximal approach. But treating app stores as a sort of special thing that requires extra permission and coordination doesn’t seem totally impossible.

It could be sort of nice if each store was isolated inside a different sandbox and had it’s own filesystem. (I wouldn’t be that surprised if something like that happened because it is both justifiable from a security point of view, and also mildly annoying for people who want to use third party stores, which I guess Apple would prefer).
> We were taught that the first paragraph of a story should summarize the entire story because most people won't read past that.

Also because it's better writing. For that purpose, anyway.

One can find readable images of e.g. late 19th and early 20th century papers that followed this style like it was the word of God, and they are so nice and effortless to read.
Even if this were mandated/accomplished, it still wouldn't solve the coverage bias issue, which is a large part of the problem.
I think specialty stores in general may be a null concept at this point. At the turn of the 20th century, specialty stores for every specialty could survive in any population center (and sometimes in less populous place) because the alternative was a Sears catalog that would sell it to you to be delivered 6-12 weeks after they received payment, all from some microscopic line drawing.

You paid a premium to buy from the store, for the privilege of being able to see the merchandise before spending.

Now, you can order it off of Amazon with one day shipping, after having looked at numerous high resolution color images, and probably a dozen Youtube videos as well, all to see if it is the product you want and need. And if it's not, chances are that it can be returned for a refund with little hassle.

They've nailed the ability to do the initial purchase online, and that's what would build loyalty for a specialty storefront, that's the one purchase where people often wouldn't dare mail order. That's the purchase where someone gives you word of mouth advertising.

This might even have been flipped on its head, where the stores that are still large enough to have survived until now have people coming into the showroom to see what they want, but then ordering the same model off of Amazon or where ever to get their volume discount. That couldn't have worked earlier, as the only company that might have the same products mail order was the same as the store front.

We live in an era where the only brick and mortars that could possibly survive are those that sell highly perishable goods (groceries) or products for which even next day shipping are too late (plumbing repair parts at hardware stores).

Sample Case Selected by the UFO Subcommittee of the AIAA [pdf]
If fusing a certain pair would significantly improve performance of most code, you'd just add that fused instruction to your bytecode and let the C compiler optimize the combined code in the interpreter. I have to assume CPython as already done that for all the low hanging fruit.

In fact, for such a fused instruction to be optimized that way on a copy-and-patch JIT it'd need to exist as a new bytecode in interpreter. A JIT that fuses instructions is no longer a copy-and-patch JIT.

A copy-and-patch JIT reduces interpretation overhead by making sure the branches in the executed machine code are the branches in the code to be interpreted, not branches in the interpreter.

This is make a huge difference in more naive interpreters, not so much in an heavily optimized threaded-code interpreter.

The 10% is great, and nothing to sneeze at for a first commit. But I'd actually like some realistic analysis of next steps for improvement, because I'm skeptical instruction fusing and other things being hand waved are it. Certainly not on a copy-and-patch JIT.

For context: I spent significant effort trying to add such instruction fusing to a simple WASM AOT compiler and got nowhere (the equivalent of constant loading was precisely one of the pairs). Only moving to a much smarter JIT (capable of looking at whole basic blocks of instructions) started making a difference.
I think this is a natural consequence when you optimize for eyeballs. It leads to spammy crap that give you whatever it thinks you want to consume. News is now entertainment.

That's not "slave labor". That's manufacturing and automation. USA is behind in this kind of training, schooling, and industrial understanding.

That's not some unskilled bozo they picked off the street. That's a Chinese engineer, likely trained from a University, who has Electronics knowledge likely exceeding many American Engineers (especially in the field of manufacturing that we're falling behind on). They program computers to assemble these devices. They have web-programmers to convert our Gerber files or KiCAD files into pick-and-place primitives. They have optimized assembly lines to minimize human error and maximize automation.

------

There's a few shops in the USA that can do this sort of stuff, but no one close to the scale, reliability, or price of JLCPCB right now. That's the problem.

Its not "slave labor" or "low-economy" crap that they're beating us in anymore. Its high-tech, advanced economy automation. Do you think anyone in the USA has a pick-and-place machine / PCB-assembly line that well made? And flexible enough to handle random internet orders of quantity 10?

> For example, look at the frivolous spending of the US on it's superior military budget and its belief it is the strongest military in the world.

One can just look at the Ukraine vs. Russia war to see there is an immense technological gap between the US and Russia. Everyone thought Russia was the #2 military in the world before the war, but nowadays might be at best #3. Ukraine is holding Russia back and/or inflicting horrendous casualties on Russian forces using only a couple percent fraction of the US defense budget, and largely with old/leftover/unused equipment. Reminder too that Ukraine doesn't have the backing of the US Air Force or the US Navy, which the US would absolutely use in the event of conflict with Russia.

Granted, this war has exposed a lot of shortfalls with the US Military with respects to advanced weapons procurement, artillery shell production, and drone warfare, but it's also been an intelligence goldmine for western militaries that is already starting to produce changes in strategy.

> the expensive US technology would be quickly overwhelmed and defeated by cheaper technology that were not accounted for in the last few decades i.e. UAVs + AI.

Russia has failed to destroy a single Patriot battery or HIMARS system, despite those being in-conflict for a while now. If drones were such a wunderwaffe that made advanced tech useless, then all of that tech would have been destroyed by now.

China is likely #2 now with an impressive on-paper military, but they also have not been battle tested in decades with lots of unproven tech.

News is already of marginal utility to most people, except as entertainment.

The top headlines on my version of Google News are:

* an update on Trump's trial-- marginal utility, unless you are involved in the trial, with only its outcome being of use to the masses

* a story about France's new prime minister-- marginal utility, unless you live in France

* more trump trial

* more trump trial

* a piece on Age of Emprires

* whoever Nicole Eggert is has breast cancer

* an iPhone survived the drop from the Boeing 737 decompression event-- the story about the decompression has utility but the phone surviving is useless info

* news about the Peregrine moon lander-- useful to me because I'm an aerospace engineer and benefit from failure analysis of other projects, although its main utility is keeping it in my consciousness until actual in-depth analysis is available

* crime story out of Florida a state over 700 miles away-- useful to Floridians I guess

Minimally important.

The only news that is useful to people is that which can be used to inform their decisions: weather, stocks, local and national politics related to their jurisdiction, hyper-local (neighborhood level) crime, upcoming local events, and any safety or culture news related to destinations one is planning on visiting.

Everything else is just information/misery/voyeurism pornography.

It is frustrating to me because I want to know about what is going on in my area, not about some missing persons case in a state 1,400 miles away, and local news is either dead or worse than national news.

That being said, I like hacker news-- an aggregator that claims to be about anything that good hackers would find interesting whose main purpose actually seems to be providing an outlet for people to complain about Apple, Amazon, and copyright law.

For me Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach (CNTDA) by Kurose is still the best textbook out there to learn modern networking:

https://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/index.php

Starting with the 6th edition, it has separated control and forwarding planes for the network layer to reflect the increasing popularity of software-defined networking (SDN) i.e. evolution of hardware centric to software centric networking. The fact that even before 6th edition when the chapter on networking is still monolithic (combined chapter on control and forwarding), it has already mentioned about the separation concerns between the control and forwarding planes while other popular textbooks still not highlighting this important matter. In addition, unlike many textbooks you can download all the supporting materials slides, exercises, animation, etc, of the from the authors' public website and Prof. Kurose video lectures are also available in Youtube.

My main wish lists for the next edition (9th) hopefully include Smart-NIC for modern approach to in-network computation and also the newly standardized segment routing for network layer QoS.

If there's The Nobel Prize in Literature for textbook authors, the authors of this book should be more than deserving.
It's what they did, the law is approved and will come into effect soon. A store is just an app like any other apps - e.g. your browser. If you can download an app from the web, you can download a store, and the store can download other apps.

> Nobody forces you to use iMessage/Telegram/WhatsApp/...

The EU strongly disagrees with this statement in case of the the latter two, which is why they are being targetted by the DMA and must provide interopability so that you cannot continue to be forced to use them.

If iMessage had users in the EU, the same would have applied there.

Being forced to use something does not mean you are being held at gunpoint or that no other options exist. For messaging apps, being in a location where your entire social network uses one app is indeed a case where the average person ends up forced to use that app as picking another option means not talking to your social network (unwanted) or having to convert everyone else (unreasonable). This harms both competition and users.

The news organizations didn't make any of that stuff up though. Those are the actual rhetoric and the hypocritical or criminal acts of the politicians you are alluding to. You've just genericized it by replacing names with X and Y. However, it's anything but generic, and there are real patterns to it, so the names behind the X and Y matter.

It would be journalistic malpractice not to report those things when there is evidence to support the allegations.

Totally agree with #4. My wife recently double scanned an item at the self checkout. At every other store, this means deleting the item from the scan list then waiting for an employee to come over, login, and approve the removal.

Nope, not at Aldi! She deleted the item, it alerted the employee, then the employee at the next checker over called out "Did that fix it for you?". The employee was able to handle that right from their POS station without getting up.

A friend used to work at Target and mentioned their self checkout minimum time between scans is dramatically larger than on the checker POS.
The EU strongly disagreed about many things that it later admitted were wrong (or just quietly changed its stance on), for example nuclear energy policy or biofuel additives.

PyPy is designed from the ground up and is still slower than V8 AFAIK. Don’t forget that v8 has enormous amounts of investment from professionally paid developers whereas PyPy is funded by government grants. Not sure about Ruby & PHP and it’s entirely possible that the other JIT implementations are choosing simplicity of maintenance over eking out every single bit of performance.

Python also has structural challenges like native extensions (don’t exist in JavaScript) where the API forces slow code or massive hacks like avoiding the C API at all costs (if I recall correctly I read that’s being worked on) and the GIL.

One advantage Python had is the ability to use multiple cores way before JS but the JS ecosystem remained single threaded longer & decided to use message passing instead to build WebWorkers which let the JIT remain fast.
