It's plain text in the generally accepted definition [1] of the term. It's not a binary file that requires special software to author. It's possible to read and write the files in a text editor.

"Plain text" does not imply "natural language description", though I can see the term could be confusing.

I guess the thing with sound systems is that Hifi has basically not evolved in the last 30? Maybe even 50 years.

I think the last tipping point was the introduction of Class-D amplifiers which provided "unlimited" power compared to before.

Cheap DSP and a better understanding of psychoacoustics maybe.

My point here is that nothing really changed the game. You could get a high-end, expensive Hifi system 30 years ago that matches the sound quality of a high-end system of today.

The rest, Internet access, BT connectivity, Spotify is bells and whistles.
Also, I was at Mozilla from founding in 1997 (yes, I'm a co-founder -- unlike Mitchell Baker), official news in 1998, and spinout as 501c3 in 2003.

What you cherry-pick as my CTO role from 2005-2014, as if I were some new hire in 2005 who had nothing to do with Mozilla before then or from inception, nevertheless covers a lot of Firefox growth -- we peaked in 2010 or 2011.

So blaming me for decline vs. Chrome is grossly unfair, but I sense an irrational animus on your part.
The sleeping is so broken on all the laptops these days that I'm seriously considering buying an old laptop because all the nice things you get with a modern powerful laptop aren't worth it if the battery is randomly empty and you can't turn it off.

Why would those getting good enough happen sooner than people expected? I'd assume those will get good enough at roughly the rate pessimists expected, at least if we look historically that seems like a good bet, these things move really really slowly once you try to apply it to the real world in practice.

I think it's quite likely that, like the circadian rhythm, your body needs a steady drumbeat of inputs to regulate itself and without them disregulation can set in and spiral.
What do you mean by reasonable doubt? If you are in a car and you hit someone, it should be your fault.

If the road is bad, you should drive slow enough that it's not dangerous.

If you can't see anything, because there are cars parked, perhaps you shouldn't drive, or only drive very slowly. It should be your responsibility as a driver to only drive when the view ain't obscured.

When I'm eg running around with a knife, or discharging a gun and injure someone, I don't get to make excuses like the above either. Why should drivers be allowed to blame the victim or circumstances?

Nice to see another RISC-V based VM!

I'm working on something similar, but instead of optimizing for low call latency I'm prioritizing security, execution performance and compilation speed. I'm currently at roughly the same execution speed as wasmtime, but with over 200x faster compilation, and with significantly better security sandboxing.

RISC-V (well, a slightly modified variant) actually makes for a really good VM bytecode!

In the past few years (including this past week) Fedex has lost or broken quite a few of the packages I've sent or received. They took no responsibility for smashing a monitor I shipped for RMA that their Fedex Store employees packed, using the box that those employees recommended. (I know better now. Do not trust them to pack anything fragile or important. Always take pictures before shipping.) I now actively avoid them as a choice if there's any other option.
I don't know the actual numbers on that, but I do know that stationary storage lasts much longer than e.g. EV batteries, since there are no weight restrictions, so they're cycled more gently, temps are better, they can be kept in a more optimal window, you can use things like LFP that are heavier, and BMS has more latitude with more cells to work with.
This is some next level masochism. They should allow people to just work remote.
Apple M1 USB4/Thunderbolt Dart Support for Linux 6.8
The recent updates to the upcoming Linux 6.8 kernel show us that full Thunderbolt 4 support on Linux is not far away. This is so exciting, as for some Thunderbolt is the only missing feature to make a full switch to Linux on Mac (M1/M2/M3) hardware.
I always thought of it as a datastore. What else is it? A document with one or many tables, each containing rows of highly unstructured records (that can cross reference each other), but essentially it is a data store. Or is this view completely wrong?
There have been multiple points in my life where I’ve been tasked to create a plugin for excel for essentially this purpose.

It is a database though, one that is very accessible to most savvy people (aka, your domain experts) and you should lean on that instead of pushing them out. At least at smaller scales.
I never find Hopper's paintings striking, or overwhelming (perhaps because I've never seen one in person). But I think about them all the time. I think that's because he captures the kind of moment you see all the time; and those moments you experience alone quite often.

I'm a co-founder of mozilla.org (unlike Mitchell Baker).

You projecting your own or others' politics onto it raises an acute historical question: if I'm a co-founder but not "progressive", yet I was not driven out at founding or for 16+ years, then what changed, when?

No "society" cop-out answers. Mozilla was a global project from early days and we made it a point not to litmus-test politics or religion as conditions for taking on any role, while we were growing.

Well, asthma is multifaceted. You can have an obstruction caused by muscles contracting, or by mucus from inflammation. In either case, dilating the muscles, which is what albuterol does, can give you better air flow, lessening your perceptible symptoms. You'd still want a corticosteorid-based medicide to treat the inflammation if you have that kind of asthma, though, as the chronic inflammation can worsen your illness over time, hence my original comment.
50mph or whatever speed you'd still see on the freeways is not that slow.

> Also, slow trucks would not be preferred by the logistics managers that arrange truck delivery in the first place. So self driving trucks would have to be a lot cheaper to be competitive.

Why would they "not be preferred" to such an extent? For short trips it might be an hour difference, is that such a big deal? As you approach a full shift of driving, a human driver spends up to 20% of that shift not driving, so the difference isn't as much as you'd expect. And as soon as you go past 11 hours at human driving speed, the self-driving truck gets there much sooner.

> I don't think labor is 90% of the cost of a truck delivery.

If we go by https://www.thetruckersreport.com/images/costoftrucking.jpg it's 26%, but also if you can vastly increase the mileage per year then an electric model goes from "maybe" to "massive savings".

Ah, gotcha. I tried installing it and the first thing it gave me was an error message. I googled it, couldn't find the answer. Got an answer now, it worked for a small toy example at least. But I haven't gotten around to try it out further.

I feel like the dev experience - without internal help for initial setup - isn't quite there yet, especially regarding error messages and documentation.
You can just hibernate though. With fast SSD/NVMe storage it's nearly as quick as S3 standby was. (The one pitfall is that hibernation might require you to disable Secure Boot if you're on a recent version of Linux, due to lockdown-mode shenanigans.)

I live next to an intermodal train yard. Literally outside my windows [1].

I love the noise and the trains. You get used to the sounds, and it becomes comforting. Like a loud rain on a rooftop. I feel strange when it's quiet.

Pumping sea water to the top of the lock chain or maybe the lock next to the top would save a lot of fresh water but would slowly contaminate the lake unless there were some kind of double gate to prevent sea water used to fill the top lock leaking out when a ship enters the lock from the lake.
But how to you systematically deduce the tail recursion version?

I feel like, in this case, the recursivity in definition of Fibonacci and the recursivity in the tail recursion is just a coincidence, with the second just being a contrived way to write the loop you get after applying dynamic programming and trimming the table to only the last two elements.

Here's proof salary isn't the issue: not only did I not stay and say whatever it took to give Google antitrust cover while hiking my salary (Mitchell would have been chair, would have had to approve, might have done so provided hers went up too; she always earned a bit more than I did while we were partners from early days), I didn't go to a Big Tech company that pays seven figure salaries to people at my level. I founded a startup and still make a modest (16x smaller than Mitchell's, to be precise) salary.

If I'd stayed at Mozilla, turned around Firefox, spawned other revenue lines, then of course the salary would be high -- it would have to be very high, without any equity upside. This remains a problem for comp at Mozilla from when I was there: we can't compete with Big Tech on RSUs, or even on cash, so we overpay a bit and have a "mission-based" ethos that, over time, tolerated politicking and goldbricking.

Turning something off and back on usually fixes any problem, which extends to apps. This means it's actually hard to break stuff, so go ahead and try things. Play with your apps. Follow tutorials. Try to use features you haven't been 'trained' on. You'll find you can do more than you think, and often you'll improve on the processes you've been told to follow.

Corollary: If your coworkers or employer say this is bad advice that's a massive red flag and you need to find a new employer, unless you work in medicine or nuclear power, in which case maybe it's ok.

> There is no “reason” for the car to coast either.

The user wants it to! That's a really great reason for the machine to obey.

The driver generally has superior information/ estimates about upcoming conditions and decision-trees which the gearbox does not.

For example, "That intersection's red light will probably become green soon, allowing me to efficiently coast for a bit before accelerating again, and I don't (yet) need to brake if instead it stays red."

A similar scenario exists for highways, where the driver is managing their following-distance to buffer-away repeated cycles of braking and acceleration.

Then there's also the problem of cars where the precise increment on the gas pedal isn't accessible or ergonomically viable, and then coasting serves as a way to moderate the output.

My philosophy towards writing code, building projects, anything.

1. Get it working.

Find a solution, any solution. Something is better than nothing. Once you have a solution, you know the space pretty well.

2. Get it working well.

Iterate and make it better. Refactor and fix bugs. At this point, the general logic should be sound, but there may be missing features, add them.

3. Get it working fast.

Find the slow parts and make it faster.
If you just want to run some CPU bound code as fast as possible, virtualisation has low overhead.

But if you are doing a lot of communication between the script and the host system, I'm not sure virtualisation does so well?

A couple of points about the F-35.

The requirements of a commercial airliner are a lot different than those of a cutting edge fighter jet. The F-35 ejection seat is too powerful and might injure smaller pilots, sure. But if I’m flying in contested airspace with enemy air defenses and fighter jets trying to shoot at me, I’d still feel a lot safer in an F-35 than in an Airbus.

There has been a lot of FUD about the F-35 spread around the press, but a surprising amount of this FUD comes straight from Boeing. You see, Boeing makes the Super Hornet, and every F-35 sale Lockheed Martin makes is a potential Super Hornet sale that Boeing has lost. Don’t get me wrong, the Super Hornet is an awesome fighter, but despite what Boeing would have you think, it doesn’t come close to the capabilities of an F-35.

Obviously I would much prefer my country and its allies to buy fighter jets from some perfect aerospace company that makes completely flawless aircraft, even when those aircraft contain groundbreaking innovations at the bleeding edge of what is technically possible. Fingers crossed that enough lessons were learned that when NGAD comes out, it’s a lot faster and smoother than the F-35 process, but this stuff is hard for everyone and for all the deserved criticism that the American military-industrial complex gets, nobody else in the world actually does a better job of making fighter jets.
Frustratingly, the more common doubt is "if it's so good, how are there so few people doing it?"

Do you think that 15 years back it was prohibitive from a cost perspective now? Was it always this economically viable? I mean ~ $200 a panel, it's a true no brainer, maybe the initial outlay was a little too much for people way back when?

On the other hand, I guess with peaking electricity prices in many parts of the world, it would've easily paid itself off by now for most people.
Every time I bring up that subject, people get aggravated and point out that lower voltage means larger cables, which is true, but I wonder if the tradeoff of paying more for thicker cables is worth the simplicity it brings.
Can you give an example of something Python has been used for that it’s not suitable for?
What matters is what those managers are allowed to do on their countries, and the existing laws to punish them if they try.

If anyone is being exploited, it is on them to report the issue to the authorities, and there are ways to do so without exposing oneself.

If the managers are lucky they might even end in some TV "exposed" kind of program.

Up to the affected to fight for their rights, the difference is that back home networking and owning favours tends to be more valuable than being right.
