I'm very aware you can be lonely in a crowd and find solace in solitude. I've done both. I'm talking about my real-life experience here not a hypothetical. Working 100% remotely as a young person trying to find your place in the world is crushingly lonely. Choosing sometimes to spend my weekend just doing my solo hobbies while other people are going out, without giving into fomo, is solace in solitude.

I agree, not everyone has the same needs. But I think on average the majority of people would benefit from or would be able to handle a mandatory hybrid situation. If a few fully remote jobs remained that may satisfy the few unusual people who are actually that disturbed by social interaction, or live in such odd locations that it's not possible for them, that would be great. And I am absolutely sure those opportunities will remain. But I think it is bad for humans to aim for a mainly remote working world, both for our mental health and for the dynamism of our collaborative work. I really believe that people who genuinely thrive significantly better in 100% remote vs a couple days in the office are less than 10% of the population. We are social animals and we increase our risk of dementia the less we socialise, it's just our biology.
having jumped from go to rust, I still really appreciate go.

Everything is rust is way harder and more complicated than in go. However, with that added complexity you build rock solid software. Many times over i've ran into issues in go where something deep down in a library returns a nil on a pointer and my crap blows up in unexpected ways.

Sync/async mismatch is a curse of a modern development. Countless hours are spent to make things compatible in a diverse ecosystem.

I maintain a simple abstract middleware caching library for python and it was a trick issue how to support combinations of sync/async app code and sync/async actual caching backends with async introduction in Python. In the end the answer was an automatic runtime AST transformation for all cases. Ugh. The same approach I use in validation library to parse requests for different web frameworks. But it's a specific case and could not be generalized.

It's the opposite of fun situation.
That sounds too abstract. A subscription model for specific content has proven to work.
Same. I've heard of Revolut which I think does something similar?

All else being equal, more GDP (per person) means more wealth per person. More housing space, more heating, more antibiotics and children's sledges. So yeah, I support more GDP.

https://mikrotik.com/product/crs305_1g_4s_in is the sweet spot right now for home users. Four 10g ports and a 1g, you can use the 1g for “uplink” to the internet and one of the 10g for your “big old Nortel gigabit switch with 10g uplink” and one for your Mac and two for your NAS and VM server. ;)

Direct cables are moderately cheap, and modules for 10g Ethernet aren’t insanely expensive.
Yeah I tend to think of all the core things you listed as outcroppings of search and ads :-) They're infra needed for that.

(I worked the first couple years in display ads, then some time on Jetstream/Google WiFi then some very brief time in Fiber, then many years in DSPA/Nest, and then for my last year in some Core stuff. So I only got to really use Borg & friends for the first two years and last year of my time there. Left two years ago.)

My solution is to try to subscribe through Apple as much as possible, even if it's more expensive. Unified interface, always can cancel online and I think they are required to let you use it until the end of the billing cycle if you have been charged. Not always possible, but when it is, it's often worth it.
I tested the position for 2 years. The cord doesn’t have to be that long. It’s not always -20 out and air gaps can be blocked with suitable materials. Not all apartments are on the third story. Second story reaches just fine with 25 foot if you are positioned well. Choose your apartment accordingly.

Dermatologists probably aren't going to use this. Primary care in rural areas is the best application for this.
That's true. I guess it'd be more accurate to say they're on OVH's network, not necessarily their compute and other infrastructure.
It's a symptom of our modern ignorant educations that people don't know simple chemical facts. Charging and discharging a battery depends on chemical reactions. The speed of chemical reactions depends on temperature. The rule of thumb is that chemical reactions happen two times faster (or slower) for every 10 degrees Celsius difference.

So if the temperature is 20 degrees different the speed of the reaction will be (20/10 * 2) or 4 times different. For 30 degrees difference it will be 8 (2 x 2 x 2) times in difference.

So if it takes 2 hours to charge your car at 20 degrees C, it will take 8 hours to charge your car at 0 degrees C. And your range will probably drop to about a quarter, pretty much.

Their internal models are allegedly competitive even if their public offerings are not.

I'd imagine lots of people buying colour printers these days are parents whose kids need them for school. I can't think of many reasons an adult needs a colour printer, and home photo printing doesn't seem like a booming business these days.

That being said, maybe it's a lemon, but my wife has a low-end (still ~$400CAD) colour laser printer from Brother which...not great for that kind of thing. It's built well and might outlive me, but it's clearly meant for printing documents with the occasional coloured chart in them, and things get pretty ugly if you push it beyond that. The cheap inkjets I grew up with 20 years ago might have crapped out every few years, but I remember them having better colour output.
It’s a bit more nuanced than the examples you raise. It’s more a continuum than a binary attribute and there is large differences within national borders.

For example: Israel does have a high fertility, but it’s more to do with religiosity than urbanization. The Orthodox and Arabs are more fecund than secular Jews.

Most of the fertility in America is due to Bible Belt Americans (who also generally happen to be in rural areas) and newly arrived immigrants (who also tend to be religious) and less to do with social support programs.
In hot climates the cooling benefit alone is worthwhile
It was like this in American cities, too, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries [1]. Yet immigrants still had high fertility rates, although they were declining by then [2]. That second link is a paper that focuses on the Irish immigrant fertility rate.

I think the Mac Mini has massively more compute than needed for this kind of work. It also has a power supply, and computer power supplies are generally not amazing at low output.

I’m imagining something quite specialized. Use a low frequency CPU with either vector units or even DMA engines optimized for the specific workloads needed, or go all out and arrange for data to be DMAed directly between the disk and the NIC.

> Many times over i've ran into issues in go where something deep down in a library returns a nil on a pointer and my crap blows up in unexpected ways.

Doesn't that mean precisely that Rust is easier than Go? Finding those bugs must be a nightmare, not to mention the impact of them happening in the first place, in prod...

Usually people say X is easier than rust because writing a program in X is easier than writing a program in Rust. When in fact they should be comparing (writing a program + debugging) in X vs (writing a program + debugging) in Rust
The fed has been slowly draining money with higher interest rates (or maybe more precisely have slowed the increase in the money supply). That part is potentially symmetrical. It’s the inability for the fed to effectively convince congress to increase taxes and pay off debt with it that is the impossible problem. What drives inflation is the expansion of the money supply, which didn’t happen when spending happened, the expansion essentially happened when the velocity of money rebounded (I am grossly over simplying BTW, since inflation can never be uniform). The fed needed to be able to pull money out at a fast rate as velocity started to rise, by doing the reverse of what happened when velocity fell, which was, for all intents and purposes, spending money. Taxing is generally the way to take money out of ciculation. Selling stockpiles of assets is also how the fed historically dealt with this, but if congress spends “on the fed’s behalf”. They need to also tax “on the fed’s behalf”.
Even women of Jewish descent who identify as secular have a fertility rate of 2.2, much higher than in any other developed country.

I don’t think state or provincial governments who are trying to enable conversion to electric in any way they can will look kindly on any lease provisions that have unreasonable restrictions on electric vehicle charging when one can safely use a proper cord plugged into a proper outlet in one’s own wall in a rental unit.
I'm a relative newcomer to Rust, and yes, this tracks with my experience. I know the "Go is simple" meme is overused, but it really is a remarkably small language. For all the amazing engineering that has gone into Rust, the price you pay is that you have to think and track a lot of stuff.
I have found the prices to sometimes be slightly lower when I search directly on the airline's site.
> Religiosity generally increases fertility, but countries like Poland have both high religiosity and low fertility.

Religious traditions differ in how pro-fecund they are.

Israel’s high fertility: Haredi Jews view large families as a religious duty; religious Zionists view the state as spiritually significant, and children are necessary for its future

Poland: in practice, mainstream Catholicism doesn’t really encourage large families any more. Pope Francis even tells Catholics “not to breed like rabbits”. Even with the opposition to contraception, many Catholics just ignore that, and for those who take it seriously, there is always NFP. There are subgroups of Catholicism for which this is different - the trads, Opus Dei. But the vast majority of Polish Catholicism is mainstream conservative, not trad or Opus Dei

It isn’t really an exception if one understands it as needing high religiosity and pro-fecundity religious traditions. Poland has much more of the first than the second.
The first thing I remember reading that could be described as a blog would be John Carmack's .plan file that he frequently updated with his progress on Quake development. This could be retrieved using a dedicated "finger" program, but I seem to remember that mIRC also had the ability.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_(protocol)

Excerpt: "The program would supply information such as whether a user is currently logged-on, e-mail address, full name etc. As well as standard user information, finger displays the contents of the .project and .plan files in the user's home directory. Often this file (maintained by the user) contains either useful information about the user's current activities, similar to micro-blogging, or alternatively all manner of humor."
If they’re a fully public company they may be more protected from going rogue than if they were VC-owned.
This solution doesn't do anything to prevent leaking memory in anything but the most pedantic sense, and actually creates leaks and dangling pointers.

The function just indirects malloc with a wrapper so that all of the memory is traversable by the "bigbucket" structure. Memory is still leaked in the sense that any unfreed data will continue to consume heap memory and will still be inaccessible to the code unless the application does something with the "bigbucket" structure--which it can't safely do (see below).

There is no corresponding free() call, so data put into the "bigbucket" structure is never removed, even when the memory allocation is freed by the application. This, by definition, is a leak, which is ironic.

In an application that does a lot of allocations, the "bigbucket" structure could exhaust the heap even though there are zero memory leaks in the code. Consider the program:

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
for (long i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
void *foo = malloc(sizeof(char) * 1024);
free(foo);
}
return 0;
}

At the end of the million iterations, there will be zero allocated memory, but the "bigbucket" structure will have a million entries (8MB of wasted heap space on a 64-bit computer). And every pointer to allocated memory in the "bigbucket" structure is pointing to a memory address previously freed so now points to a completely undefined location--possibly in the middle of some memory block allocated later.

There are already tools to identify memory leaks, such as LeakSanitiser https://clang.llvm.org/docs/LeakSanitizer.html. Use those instead.
sounds like a DPU (mellanox bluefield for example), they're entire ARM systems with a high speed NIC all on a PCIe card, I think the bluefield ones can even directly interface over the bus to nvme drives without the host system involved
That is a great example. It's rarely bad to be pedantic if it leads to better understanding!
The time I the most Rust was the couple of years before Rust's async/await settled. I worked on what is now a large code base that processes a lot of data quickly.

It was multi-threaded but no async/await. When I tried to start converting things over, it was really painful. I have no idea where it landed, but I remember coming away from it thinking that I'd prefer to just not deal with the async code in its current state.

I mostly write Go now and haven't had to think about this. Sounds like it's still painful.
I agree around teams and outlook, but what is the alternative? Google? AWS? Self host? Honest question, because the way enterprise tends to work, they want to offload the responsibility to a third party so When information does leak or get hacked, they can blame someone else.
But it was Fujitsu staff acting as witnesses in trials.
Yes, apparently I was mistaken about the NICs. They don't seem to be available yet.

But it's not a PCIe limitation. There are PCIe devices out there which use 32 lanes, so you could achieve the bandwidth even on PCIe5.

Is it really though? All I personally care for when it comes to "doing multiple things at the same time" is frankly Rust's scoped threads API: Create N threads, have them perform some computations, then join them at the end of the scope.

How is this not more natural than creating various state machines and passing around all sorts of weird highly abstract Future-objects?
I think it's easier to see if you jump up 1 level of abstraction from transistors to logic gates.

Imagine an adder made up of logic gates. The gates aren't inherently synchronous - they don't have a clock input - signals appear at their inputs and some time later propagate to their outputs.

To make the adder synchronous you need flip flops at the inputs/outputs and a clock.

If you squint a bit you can view most designs as blobs of async logic sandwiched between sync elements (gated by the clock).

We can see that a signal might have to go through a lot of gates/transistors between flip-flops and so the gates (and their underlying transistors) will necessarily need to be able to switch faster than the clock.
Grantland did fine for a while until it was cancelled by ESPN and then reborn as The Ringer, which has done fine since then; as noted elsewhere, The Athletic has been doing fine as well. I’m not convinced that “Americans don’t read interesting writing anymore” is a theory for which there’s sufficient evidence, although I could be convinced that a series of short-sighted business types tanked a 50 year old publication because they believed that.

The desert is teeming with life under the crust, and panels can disturb or destroy that. We've learned the hard way to not just rush in thinking we know what's best for the land, since we've destroyed so much already.

I thought it was well established that desert panels have to be cleaned constantly, and use huge amounts of water; without data im assuming that'll cost more than whatever efficiency gain you get from tracking panels verses non.

I've been trying to find the source for a while, but I recall reading about a fundamental property of analog computers that makes them inherently unstable (as in, noise will always win on the long run), unlike digital computers. No matter how good the design is, little bits of noise add up in complex analog computers and the output is inexact.

I guess my Google-fu is good enough, because I've been unable to find where I read about it.

I run into this sometimes for `std` rust libraries; generally involving networking. Not directly mentioned in the article, but I prefer to wrap a `block_on` in a thread, and use `std::sync::mpsc`, or as required, to manage state.

On embedded, I make my own libraries for everything; the open-source community has gone full-in on either Async, or an typestate/generic API. I don't see this changing any time soon, but maybe later down the road. I feel like the only one who doesn't like either.
It's funny, a lot of people think that EU lives off on cheese and museum tickets revenue. Combined with fetish for giant corporations(aka unicorns), it creates a very strange narrative.
Async/await is a _concurrency_ mechanism, and concurrency is certainly naturally useful. However async/await is certainly not the best implementation of concurrency, except in the narrow design space Rust has chosen. If you have a language with a runtime, green threads/fibers/coroutines, along with a choice mechanism is really the way to go. It trades off some performance for much better ergonomics. Go, Java, Racket all use this. It is unfortunate that Python picked async/await.
