"Think of the children" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_of_the_children) has morphed into "think of the helpless women." Tell me, in places that do not have this building regulation, is stalking an epidemic at apartment buildings? In what other ways are they suffering? Would you support adding a two-stair requirement in those locales?
I've been a customer since 2019. Have had no issues that would lead me to any conclusion that they are anything other than trustworthy. So yes, I believe they are trustworthy.
Remarkable. Would it really have been 3 years if he'd accepted? That seems far too low.

On the other hand, the first degree homicide seems absurd given the evidence. Did they just give him that because he refused to cooperate, and not because it was actually an accurate verdict?

I don’t follow. Fragmentation wasn’t the problem here - it’s that an optimization to trying to reuse the underlying allocation resulted in a severe over-allocation in a specific path. That would happen even with your idea unless you use DONTNEED to release all the unused pages.

I think fragmentation is an over focused on problem when in practice it’s rarely the problem. It’s also a problem that can be solved by an application reset and making sure to periodically reset your running application in a way that doesn’t result in severe disruption is a better practice that works around many more issues than just fragmentation.

Hard disagree. With WFH, cities now have beautiful but empty office buildings near public transportation. Those should be turned into housing first.
This is a pretty surprising behavior. Reusing the allocation without shrinking when the resulting capacity will be within 1.0-2.0x the length: seems reasonable, not super surprising. Reusing the allocation without shrinking when the resulting capacity will be a large multiple of the (known) length: pretty surprising! My intuition is that this is too surprising (at capacity >2) to be worth the possible optimization but probably still worth doing at capacity small multiples of length.
The throttling on the MBAs are pretty minimal. After 20min of sustained, 100% CPU and GPU load we're talking about a ~15% performance drop.
You don’t have a use for it. Plenty of other people do. :)
I switched back to C from C++. The reasons were that C removes a lot of unnecessary complexity which helps concentrating at the problem at hand. It also removes a lot of features that when used incorrectly makes the code much harder to understand. So if one often has to work with code written by unexperienced programmers (as I have to do), I found C++ very problematic. The stronger type checking is largely a myth.
There is just no need for such FS today. Everything is bloated, random access is much faster (SSDs, NVMe), storage is cheaper.

It's the only FS that I lost data with.
The output is the median of both controls, so the result would be neutral elevator.

A lot of effort goes into figuring out what a pilot would naturally do, and to make that work. Much information comes from real life incidents.

The engineers and management I worked with were all keenly aware of their responsibility for safety and quality. Nobody wanted to make a mistake that caused an accident. I never heard anyone try to sacrifice safety for money.
It is reasonable, although niche enough to be a bad defense.

It does mention buildings can be a single stair with an elevator. 2 stairwells vs 1 stairwell doesn't need affect ADA compliance.
How exactly do two staircases improve accessibility compared to... one staircase?

The norm in europe is one staircase and one elevator. The elevator is the accessible bit.
When you become a parent, it's like being reincarnated but your old body is still there. You have two bodies now. Eventually you grow strong enough to withstand the new flood of sensations and emotions, but the majority of your energies goes into the new body. You have so much more to protect, but ultimately you have less you can control. You are along for the ride.

My deepest condolences to the author.
Totally understand offshoring went out of fashion prior to remote work and Covid. I'd be curious to know how management is evaluating that post Covid. I have to imagine many of them didn't learn their lesson, and I also imagine the quality of software engineers outside the US has risen in the meantime.
When I look closer, the newer the building the better it tends to do in general. And as the article itself points out, Europe doesn't use nearly as much wood which changes things (not always for the good - Europe tends to have terrible insulation and their construction materials are not helping - though newer buildings do well here)
Yes, housing and web cookies, equally important for one's life.
This is a fantastic article.

Burdensome regulations on housing construction have caused costs to skyrocket. Minimum lot sizes, setback requirements, square footage minimums, floor-area ratio restrictions, overzealous height restrictions, parking requirements, abuse of environmental reviews, historic designations, community reviews, overzealous MFH requirements (like double-stair), below-market mandates, all have worked together to constrain supply, leading to skyrocketing costs.

It's the single most important economic issue for me. We need a nationwide effort to ease these restrictions, or we're just going to continue to see rents eat up more and more of young people's earnings.
> those who want to experiment with billions of people's lives

Sorry, but you don't know that this is the method of anybody the response is targeted at. It's an ill-formed assumption, and many people are interested in counteracting the apparent and obvious detrimental aspects of capitalist society without violent revolution and totalitarian regimes.

> People can and do operate a commune within a capitalistic society.

Cool, good for them. Escapism isn't necessarily the goal, though. Obviously it depends on the person.

> You can't do the inverse in a communistic society.

Communism is the "free association of producers." If the producers wish to assign dictatorial control of their factory to one person and sell their labor to that person in exchange for a wage based on paper money, they are free to do so. But why would anybody willingly engage in this arrangement unless there is no alternative?

> They'd rather complain online about other people's lives, using their iPhone, drinking Starbucks, thinking about how know best for all

You have created a stereotype and are reinforcing it here. It's based in nothing.

> more than the great minds that created the society they take for granted.

Wait, capitalism was a constructed system? My impression is that it's a somewhat emergent system that started with feudalism and grew from there.
A playlist moat doesn't sound like a real thing. I don't know how the average user uses Spotify but aside from the playlist that Spotify generates, all the music I like goes in one massive playlist. I've never used Apple Music but if another service generated playlist for me I would just as easily listen to those.

It would if you would be sure that they'd never break out of character. But that's a tricky question: if someone who has already murdered someone in cold blood with substantial premeditation presents a changed exterior do you perceive the chances of them doing that as premeditation as well as larger than the chances that they've really changed? I'm happy I'm not on that parole board, and I hope they have budget for a good psychological evaluation.
With the added value of having all seo, spam and ads removed, I find Bing chat better than Google search for generalities or recommendations. No more searching for a manual - just ask how to do something and it will find a way. It would be even better if you could configure the search engine. But for shopping it's obviously not very useful.
As a game developer I'm curious to know if there are any games with crafting you've played that you enjoyed? (For example, blacksmithing in Ultima Online is pretty simple but was fun because of the MMO/community aspect. I wonder if there are any games with more involved steps you appreciate?)
It's not a store, though. It's a phone. People generally don't shop at establishments they already paid for. Even if they did, it wouldn't be an apt analogy because other stores can't sell that same item anyways.

So with that in mind, it's more like paying for an apartment where you have to order your groceries and furniture over Apple's room service. When other businesses want dial-out functionality, Apple taxes them 27% of the transaction to enter the building. When you offer to walk outside and help accept the delivery, Apple locks the doors on you and tells you to buy a second apartment. Enough people have bought these apartments (and like them) that they want to change the bad door policy but keep the posh interior. Now Apple wants to play the victim despite claiming an ample 40% profit margin every time someone buys a room.

You seem to be really averse to evidence. In my opinion, the JEP should have benchmarks. It does not have any. I would say that raises concern for lack of credibility and shows dishonesty.

> Elimination of undefined behaviour by default (and so fewer crashes) and better security come to mind.

> Also, better compiler optimisations. This is explained in: https://openjdk.org/jeps/8305968

There is nothing stopping a compiler from omitting conflicting optimizations in functions using "unsafe". Undefined behavior due to optimizations is also already commonly understood in C/C++. If you don't like codebases using unsafe, don't use them!

That's a very round-about way of saying "we only do what we want and who cares about the users". Funny.

I get 800/20 for ~140/month, including the $30/month fee for "unlimited" data. My other choices are starlink or DSL which are a fraction of the bandwith or speed.

I self-host everything that's "home-only" at home but use syncthing, rsync and a few other thing to replicate important data to a mix of S3, backblaze, google drive and some PVs attached to a hosted k8s cluster.

It works well enough.

ReiserFS and BTRFS are the only 2 Linux filesystems that truly ate my data. Everything else I was able to substantially recover from.
Yes. Having a copy you can "touch" is important. At the absolute minimum you should have it on another cloud service.
Right, it seems the U.S. economy is trying to say, "making elementary machine tools is beneath us." The important bit is at the end: the U.S. is still a top buyer of machine tools (made elsewhere).

Is the same thing to happen with software?

When it becomes worth the time of the U.S. economy to produce basic machine tools again, they'll get to create new machine tools factories using all the latest technology: so it is probably good thing the "old way" is not still around hanging on by a thread.

The market naturally is culling technical debt.
There's an argument for copy-on-write filesystem options but it's pretty hard to argue there needs to be more than 2 or 3 "traditional" journaling filesystems like maybe ext4 and XFS.

Luckily, this is kinda the discussion I want to inspire. In today's day-in-age, greed is not inherently good. It does motivate markets, but we've made concessions in areas like pharmaceuticals where the harms are physical and undeniable. So with that in mind, I'd wager most people support some form of regulating greed. Saying that every market is better without regulation would be an extremist opinion that needs some substantiation.

> The word illegal doesn't mean unethical or wrong.

Nor does "monopoly" necessarily mean "illegal" in many cases. You might not agree with the politicians, but largely we agree with democracy and can empathize with victims when they present reasonable harms. In this case, enough people within and without the Apple ecosystem are motivated to compel Apple to change. If you believe in freedom of self-determination, you should be looking at this from the perspective of Apple choosing which markets they consider worth competing in.

> The philosophy of a free market means a "free" market.

You can be as philosophically correct as you want, but that doesn't change how law regulates the market (nor how other nations will behave). Governments intervene in the market. You're free to feel however you want about that, but first-world governments generally don't roll over when they're being exploited.

It seems like you have a better grasp on the problem than I. I understand why capacity in terms of number of elements doubles. But why did he end up using 200x more memory? Is it that the transient memory used the 18GiB and then he reduced it to vector of elements that were 200x smaller? Or is it that there’s some other problem that when you collect, it’s reallocating 2x using the wrong type to do the computation?
Because human beings feel it is appropriate and fair to punish people for wrongdoing, and without the state handling it individuals are more likely to take justice into their own hands. Making the criminal justice system sufficiently punishing is one of several checks against vigilantism.

You are free to choose buildings with multiple stairways if that's a requirement for you! We're talking about easing mandatory regulations, allowing builders to meet demand. We're not saying that all buildings must only have one stairway.
Possibly that's because regulating them prevents bad banks, insurance and medicine from being issued. Businesses concerning wealth, provenance and health should be scrutinized heavily.

Your opinion is like blaming American food being bad on the FDA. Without the (few) places where the FDA draws the line, that food would not get any better. Trust me.
People who understand this industry can answer in a single word.

Fanuc.

And when Fanuc realized that only GE was capable of competing with it in the computer controls needed to run machine tools (and wasn’t doing shit, another Welchism), it cleverly bought off GE by giving it the U.S. franchise for Fanuc, at least until the GE stink began to be undesirable.
The intention of the double stairwell requirement, is that you are not supposed to have your access point to the stairwell by an obstruction, and there should be a maximum access time to the stairwell.

One notable requirement of single-stair buildings where they are legal in the US, is that

1. the height is generally determined by the height of the fire ladders available, providing a second means of egress

2. the single stair requirement usually only applies to buildings that have a low maximum units per floor. In Seattle where they are legal, this is four units. At four units a floor, your front door directly opens feet away from the stairwell, and having a second staircase a sufficient distance away would be hard to fit in the floor plan.
I don’t know why they name stuff what they do, but it’s dumb to simply read the name of something and then make assumptions based on no further information about that thing. Maybe you should have read the Wikipedia about it before assuming stuff?
Translation: You're right on the point that one can spell words more easily in other languages. But the important thing in this case is that people find what they expect. If the majority are looking for `} else {` it's better to give them what they expect. It's possible that a scientific investigation might find that `else {` would be better for those who haven't yet become accustomed to `} else {`, but we're in a world full of people who've already become so accustomed. So `} else {` still works better, just as it works better to use a familiar language even though another language has advantages.
Congrats on the launch! Just tried the demo and it looks impressive. Good luck.

Are you by any chance hiring global-remote, full-stack/front-end devs? Would love to work with you guys.
You know, that's a fair point. I think there's a great argument to be made that FOSS software in particular is essentially post scarcity.

I'm not sure I'd say we're "post scarcity" for books and other digital goods though. Sure, we have all the books written until now, but I think there's an argument to be made that a huge part of the utility of books is that they are produced in near-real-time to discuss, address, and reflect thecurrent state of society. As our society grows and changes, books featuring the issues of the days will always be desired. This falls into the "trends" category you mentioned, but my point is more that I think it's larger than you described.
Yup, being wedged between monopsony and a music oligopoly can't be fun.

> You rent a VM in a data center, where servers belong, to host your stuff.

If you rent from an actual data center, you pay for a ton of stuff you don't really need for personal backups. If your home internet goes out and you can't access your personal cloud for a bit, it's likely not a big deal, so you don't need the level of redundancy that a data center gives you. On the flip side, the premium you pay for professionally hosted storage is enormous compared to buying a hard drive.

Of course - this entire thread is nothing but speculation.

That said, the premeditated murder of someone, let alone your wife and children's mother, is not something that the average person is capable of. It is entirely different than the crimes one may commit out of rage, fear, or passion (i.e. when your amygdala is driving).

I don't believe in capital punishment or lesser forms of punitive justice, but I have a hard time believing that psychopaths can ever be meaningfully rehabilitated. They are just humans that shipped with a fucked up firmware and that's all there is to that.
So let's take my kids as an example - they plug their laptops in like 1/week. They have the M1 Airs, and I've seen them on their beds, in the kitchen taking a video while they food prep or as they clean their room (time-lapse to share with friends) or on the couch or their desks.

Yes, some of this could be done on the family iPad or their iPhone (which neither of them have yet), but those don't have the games or schoolwork setup they need either.

Why sacrifice this kind of capability when the costs are about the same and quality is better?
It is generally understood that at 4 floors you need an elevator which is expensive. This is partially the ADA (which doesn't say this from what I can tell, but is generally understood to suggest it), and partially 4 floor is enough stairs few people would agree to walk up them.

In that industry I would imagine that the benefits of base salary level end after onboarding, and begin to have a negative correlation with their performance afterward.
Everyone writing C++ is following the standard. The people that often reference it directly are the compiler people.
