I'd argue the Windows API at this point is a stable platform that can be targeted to deliver for Linux gamers.

The Linux native ports keep breaking because of outdated dependencies, while Wine/Proton offers a stable experience that keeps getting better (most recently the Wayland support).

It seems to me that releasing native Linux games at this point cost more than it's worth.

It was only the prosecutor, not the judge or jury. The issue is that the Post Office lied to the judge and jury about their evidence.

There were a (relatively) small number of prosecutions from the CPS as well, which suffered from the same problem: the Post Office investigators gave the same bad evidence, which they used to convince a jury to convict.

I don't see how separation of powers helps here. I'm sure if I looked, I'd find cases in the USA where the police and/or prosecutors told a pack of lies based on dodgy evidence to secure convictions of serious crimes, too.
Warning about Coral products.

I dig the idea behind what Coral is doing in general. However, the one product I got from them, and USB edge TPU (“USB Accelerator”), hasn't been well supported after it was released. After some digging, it seems that their “python3-pycoral” package doesn’t work on version of python greater than 3.9 (I've read that there is a hack to get it working with 3.10). I'm running Debian stable, not exactly bleeding edge, and it ships with python 3.11. So basically I have to run a downgraded VM just to use this thing.

These propriety products live and die based on their support. And every time I use any kind of propriety product, I get burned this way.

This comment is dead on. People here are somehow trying to sell a bunch of dead languages that only a small niche of people care about.

All the money in the world will end up in bitcoin, even though it has about 4.5 transactions per second and the throughput of a 28.8 modem, because it was made first? How would this make any sort of logistical or technical sense?

You realize that ethereum already surpasses bitcoin in transactions and litecoin and even dogecoin do too right?

https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-eth-lt...

Also you still haven't linked where you are getting these ideas. When you believe in predictions of the future with no evidence and no possibility in reality, that's called religion.

Bitcoin refuses to increase their throughput and at the current rate, everyone on earth gets a single transaction every 50 years. What part of this actually makes sense to you?

It seems like the federal government could help everyone get out of this mess by subsidizing the certification and training costs associated with switching out the 737 for a new Boeing airframe.

We have a nice fusion plant called the sun. Almost everything we do is powered by it directly or indirectly. Tapping into its power more efficiently is what is driving economic growth this century.

Nuclear has one big problem. It's just way too expensive. Not just a little bit but by orders of magnitude. That's why renewables are outgrowing nuclear by an order of magnitude as well. We're talking pitiful amounts of nuclear here and there (mostly China actually) and a sweet 0.6-0.7 TW of new renewable capacity added every year, growing year on year. That should cross the TW mark some time later this decade just by virtue of current investment levels (which are also growing).

In comparison, there currently are plans for about 110 GW or so new nuclear capacity. Mostly in China. That's a total, spread over the next few decades. Per year it probably will average around 10-20 GW added per year. That's about 2 orders of magnitude off. And before you consider the existing nuclear capacity that will reach end of life during the same period. Nuclear capacity might actually start experience negative growth (i.e. shrink). And of course some those plans might actually be shelved. A lot can happen in a few decades. Like the addition of tens of TW of new renewable capacity making nuclear kind of redundant. Those nuclear plans date back to an age when people were severely underestimating how much renewables we'd have by now.

Even if you'd double or triple that amount of nuclear, it would still be a side show. The main economic driver for economies this century will be energy delivered mostly by wind, solar, and batteries and a long tail of other, more costly solutions like nuclear, hydro, geothermal. Unless something happens on the cost front, that's how it is playing out.
Depends on your definition of "standard library".

There are libraries that may not be "standard" (that is, included in the standard) but are standardly available on Fortran. You need a matrix solver that will efficiently handle large, sparse matrices of complex variables, that will not degrade when faced with a stiff problem? Fortran has one of those. You can get it on pretty much any Fortran installation. It's solid, stable, and there's decades of experience with using it.

So, from that perspective, Fortran has a huge library. For numeric algorithms, virtually anything you want, it has.

Would there be any usefulness in some sort of a "CLI standard" that defines certain behaviors and provides useful recommendations?

e.g.,

- Apps must always have a --help/-h argument

- Apps that require subcommands or arguments must display "Usage" or "Help" when no subcommand or argument is specified

- When an invalid subcommand or argument is inputted, apps must display "Usage" or "Help"

- Arguments that require a file/resource as a parameter SHOULD use the --file/-f flag where possible (and other standardizing best practices)

Most of this stuff is already built into clap etc. If nothing else, it could remove some of the initial cognitive load.
Cheap inputs are temporary.

What is happening is that for decades, Indian govts have not focussed much on infra development. Current govt, which is in power for past 9 years, has put infra development on a rocket sled, with special focus on highways, railway stations, freight and airports.

Also, air travel is just within the reach of middle-middle class and above. Cirporate bookings are also on the rise.

On the whole, a huge boom is in the works. But dampners include eventual high prices and inefficiencies of logistics and poor management.

Indian are cheap travellers, and cutting 5 USD on a ticket that has no snacks means people will throng to it.

> If they use Numpy in Python they surely use Fortran under the hood.

Even that is disappearing. It was common practice even 10 years ago to use MKL as backend.

> Did you work in HFT?

Yes, I've done (and still do) HFT and mid freq since around 15 years.

> I would be very surprised if they used Python for that

Surprise!

Nobody would dare do any heavy computation in e.g. C++ or Fortran or Cobol. It's just too unpractical, and slow to develop.

You calibrate your models in Python/pandas/... , offline on historical data, and just use the prebuilt model to make the real-time prediction in C++, which doesn't involve much more than simple linear algebra.

I would estimate conservatively that 80% of quants use Python, in both HFT and mid freq. There should be some niche where they use matlab, R, kdb or stata, but that's definitely a small fraction.

The CPS also "successfully" prosecuted some cases based on the same evidence. If your key complainants are fabricating evidence that looks solid to a jury, separation of powers is not going to save you from the power of the state.

Strong union in France would be pleased if Airbus decides to layoff folks at their plant in Mobile, Alabama.
It's insane to me that most of the heat is being directed at Fujitsu. Sure, there's definitely some culpability there, but the Post Office (especially their legal team) holds the vast majority of the responsibility. There's a lot weighing in on the multi-year investigation that (has been) ongoing, but I can't help but feel like they're waiting for the public furor to cool down before releasing anything.

The state part is a pipe dream except in a few specific countries. In some countries nobody would actually trust the system, some simply lack the ressources or educated gov workers to run it. In most rich countries the bureaucrat-industrial-complex (including the national software consultants) would fight tooth and nail against a system that deprives them of sweet sweet taxpayer money. OTOH I'd say Switzerland, Estonia and Costa Rica could actually get it done.

It is very tricky. In some industries you see things like device certification and regular external testing requirements (e.g. weights and measures) but applying that to the very fast moving world of software would be .... tricky, to put it mildly.
The design problems that led to the first grounding of the 737 Max weren't particularly cost saving.

The overall approach, where they wanted pilot certification to carry over is certainly a business decision, but I'd bet that pilots and airlines and so on liked it.

Similar thing with this door issue. It's likely enough to be sloppy process, and is going to cost them a mint, not save them money. Sure, you can say that compromising quality is motivated by profit, but that cedes an awful lot of the discussion of the consequences of the poor quality to the people that are pushing to save a bit up front.

Because baked into this statement is the false premise that energy use (on earth or otherwise. Maybe the concept of energy itself is wrong) would be the limiting factor on economic growth.

Just like how if someone did a simple mathematical calculation on horses would be wrong to predict transportation doomsday, so too wrong the physicist may be for predicting energy doomsday.

2. Fire all or most of the employees.

3. Update the apps with the most possibly intrusive adware, to milk user data for cash, earning a nice return.

Most users will thoughtlessly tap "OK" when asked to agree to the barrage of new permissions requested by the updated apps.

Probably less. A lot of US military groups have dedicated personal for maintaining operational hardware including planes that are cross-trained at these large companies.
As far as I can tell, employees at Fujitsu couldn't get the money; they used the remote access feature to correct the errors that resulted from the bugs. According to the show, this was often done sloppily, so that a £3,000 discrepancy would turn into a £6,000 discrepancy, instead of being reduced to zero.

These changes via remote access were not logged.

There was also a point in the drama where the Fujitsu support staff talked a subpostmaster through fixing the errors herself; that is, accounts could be tampered with without using remote access.

I suppose all this unaudited frigging with balances was enabled to cover up the fact that Horizon had serious bugs.

What I'm waiting to find out is why the Post Office managers were so desperate to protect the reputation of Horizon, that they were willing to risk being charged with perverting the course of justice.

Bravo on pointing out growth is dependent on energy -- we don't care about our exponentially growing economic debt because it doesn't matter as long as The Economy is growing exponentially, but if growth is tied to energy, that means we need to be exponentially growing our energy supply too.

Awesome job bringing in EROI. We can keep exponentially growing our energy supply as long as we have infinite reserves of high-return energy supplies.

Let's take a look at oil from your link:

> The weighted average standard EROI of all oil liquids (including coal-to-liquids, gas-to-liquids, biofuels, etc.) is expected to decrease from 44.4 in 1950 to a plateau of 6.7 in 2050

Huh, in EROI-speak, that means we're expending more effort to get fewer returns out, which is a fancy way of saying "Oil's getting tapped out"

Shale revolution?

> Resulting EROI is typically around 1.4-1.5

Anything above 1.0 is worth doing, but the Revolution sounds like bottom-of-the-barrel marginal returns.

So how about your incendiary renewables-massive-leap-backwards comment?

PV had admittedly a "depends on how you measure things" high error bars:

> mean harmonized EROIs between 8.7 and 34.2

Wind is quoted as 19.8 with front-of-the-technology-curve numbers quoted as high as 31. The nuance here is whereas oil has finite reserves and can only decrease long-term, manufacturing-based technologies will increase up the learning curve before they plateau.

So, finally we have nuclear: quoted as EROI 75-106. Clearly a winner on energy-return, but EROI doesn't capture the messy pragmatics. Instead of energy-return, we can look at cost-returns: Levelized Cost of Energy, or how much lifetime energy do you get out vs. the lifetime costs of that energy. And we all know how expensive nuclear plants are to design, build, and maintain. There have been nuclear plants shuttered because in the 10 years it would take to get them online, you could just overbuild solar way more cheaply. Big advantage of renewals is they're getting dirt-cheap (relatively speaking).

And I'm not even touching the politics of nuclear risk and waste yet... yes, there's solutions, but I would argue that's still a much hairier problem than renewables' intermittency.

Point is, yes, from a "exponentially-growing civilization requires exponentially-growing energy" point of view, nuclear is the only path forward. But cost-returns are just as important as energy-returns -- both can make a project infeasible, and if you consider both constraints, renewals aren't a bad solution.
> There is no major development project anymore since A350 is in operation.

Well, not having a complete new aircraft doesn't mean there is no activities. A320neo is leaps and bounds ahead on the market. While Boeing seriously needs a new aircraft in that segment, Airbus can happily modernise the A320 some more. As for new developments, they likely need to integrate the A220 into their lineup, streamline the issues they had with it, and many think that the A320 successor will likely be based on the A220, making the A220 much more important to Airbus than it seems. There are rumours about a A220-500 which will have different engines than the smaller ones. In the meantime, it's known that Boeing doesn't plan to release anything anytime soon until a new generation of much more efficient engines comes in, even though it's an uncertainty when will it be.

Also, it seems that A350-1000 and A330neo sales are somewhat underwhelming, they cannot compete against the 777X or 787. By some reports, the RR engine in the A350-1000 needs too much maintenance in the hot climates of the Middle East, where a lot of wide bodies are sold.

All in all, they have their work cut on multiple fronts.

An utterly irrelevant side point since the whole question is the use of the implementation not the API.

If you call write() in Microsoft’s libc you must follow Microsoft’s license terms or you don’t have the right to use it. If you call glibc’s write() the same applies. And if you don’t like glibc’s terms you are free to, say, install bsd’s libc or write your own write() implementation (which probably just does a system call anyway).

> rental cars are one of the worst places for the current generation of EVs.

They make more sense for the short term car-club type rentals, where they can be charged the whole time when not in use, then borrowed for an hour or 2 booked on an app. But if you can't charge at home, it makes little sense to use an EV at the moment. It might make sense for small fleets of rental EVs to be based at hotels. You could just take whichever car was charged when you go out in the morning.

The other problem Hertz had was repair costs. EVs are more expensive to repair both because there are less repairers qualified to repair them and because parts are more expensive and more valuable etc.. I expect people driving unfamiliar cars are more likely to have accidents with them, so this would be worse for rental companies than for normal people.
