Because there are legitimate reasons why memory can be allocated. This is like calling your OS cache a memory leak when you open up Task Manager and see you only have 400MB free. A memory leak implies memory that is lost for good and it no longer being kept track of.

Consider it this way - if I had a program that connected to a database and used a connection pool to improve performance, would it be a "connection leak" that 5 connections were opened even though the database was idle?

The framing here is similar - Rust, in an attempt to improve performance reused large memory allocations. Some applications do this on purpose and call it buffer pools.
It's behind a paywall but Barron's just removed Apple, Meta and Tesla from their "magnificent seven." Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, NVIDIA remain.

They were bearish on Apple due to revenue declines for 4 consecutive quarters and lack of growth in sales in iPhones and Macs as well as a high PE ratio. They suggest Vision Pro won't "move the needle."

They prefer Alphabet over Meta and having both in a portfolio might be "redundant."

They can keep interrogating you after you ask for a lawyer even if your lawyer isn't present. It amounts to the exact same considering how vulnerable a person is during interrogation. Your link agrees with me. How is this not "not as strong as the US", which is what I said in my comment?

>There is no constitutional right to have a lawyer present throughout a police interview (Sinclair, supra at paragraphs 34-38). Rather, in most cases an initial warning, coupled with a reasonable opportunity to consult counsel when the detainee invokes the right to counsel, satisfies section 10(b) (Sinclair, supra at paragraph 2).

Edit: This is what I mean

>Unlike the U.S. Constitution’s right to counsel under the fifth amendment, neither section 10(b) of the Charter nor the right to counsel allowed by Supreme Court cases allows for your lawyer to be present with you during an interrogation. That means that after you’ve spoken to your lawyer it could be hours or days before you speak to them again and the police will take every opportunity they can to get a statement from you that seals your conviction.

This should be illegal. I lived in apartments like this as well, they would increase the rates for existing tenants while giving lower rates to new tenants. I’d also move out when they tried to pull this, just out of spite.

I have always heard that it’s cheaper to keep an existing client than to acquire a new one. Apparently these places don’t realize that. They don’t need to pay for advertising when they are filly booked up with people paying the market rate, nor do they need to do all the extra work invoiced in signing someone up or moving them out. I don’t own or operate a business, so maybe I’m talking out of my butt, but these people strike me as bad business owners who are chasing the wrong metrics.

What? How does that prove me wrong? You can still be forced to be a witness and answer questions even if they do incriminate yourself.

>In Canada a person has the right not to have any incriminating evidence that the person was compelled to give in one proceeding used against him or her in another proceeding except in a prosecution for perjury or for the giving of contradictory evidence. Thus, in Canada, a witness cannot refuse to answer a question on the grounds of self-incrimination, but receives full evidentiary immunity in return.

> On criminal trial, not in prison.

In this case they ended up getting guilty pleas in exchange for 'promises' of leniency. That sounds like 'putting people in prison using leverage' to me. With an imbalance between resources of the entity going after you and what you have available, I would say the giant corp will win the overwhelming majority of the time.

The problem is that they have every incentive to push people to pay them/take a deal with what is essentially extortion and there is no oversight. If the city prosecutor were threatening otherwise upstanding citizens with jail time if they didn't pay them many thousands of pounds for mystery expenses viewable by only the prosecutor, that person would be impeached or at least lose the next election, then be prosecuted for corruption. No such luck when the entity pursuing is 'faceless corporation that needs to maximize profits and has no person held to account for injustice'. I fail to see how this is in the public interest.

People say this about so many useful Web APIs. Bluetooth, WebGL, WebGPU. The truth is these APIs have largely been exposed to the web for many years now and the promised deluge of vulnerabilities never materialized. Sure, there have been a couple here and there but overall the security mitigations built in have proven very good and the security impact has been very minor compared to the dire warnings people gave. Other areas of the browser continue to be worse.

I don't know what the actual economics of farm deployments are, but something that might be interesting to consider is that farming has basically been a giant exercise of risk management and hedging for roughly forever. Once upon a time, a farmer might have satisfied some degree of hedging through crop diversity, however modern systems and economics have heavily incentivized massive scale mono-culture.

Being able to deploy solar onto their land basically gives farmers a decoupled revenue stream (obviously there is -some- correlation between solar production and good/bad harvests) that doesn't necessarily tax them the same way doing crop diversity might.

Now, obviously we might wish to avoid mono-cultures for other reasons, but I think anything that can help farmers manage their risks without just resorting to more consolidation is probably a good thing as well.
I work in the security space.

I think we can assume on his Macbook it was SQLite running on NVMe, and even so SQLite was out monstered by PostgreSQL by a large margin according to his figures.

It would be interesting to know why. I would have thought for single queries the IPC overhead would put PostgreSQL at a disadvantage. Apparently not.

In fact a lot of things are puzzling. I would have expected PostgreSQL to win when there are lots of independent queries because it can aggressive caching, whereas SQLite has to assume lots of independent process are having their way the the database. Again that didn't happen - the rate speed dropped as the query rate increased was similar for both.

It would not take much in the way of circuits, actually.

Some constant combinators can hold a list of recipes, and then a circuit that goes through the list one at a time takes like 5 combinators. With a human adjusting things once in a while, that's about all you need. Even upgrading the circuits to make specific quantities wouldn't require much.

The unholy amalgamations would show up when you're trying to make specific items on demand from scratch, or other super-optimized tasks. But beating the game doesn't need that, it needs bulk amounts of everything. And there's no optimizing away how long you'll have to wait. The best you can do is get speed modules early.

And while there's room for lots of careful inventory management and edge-case handling and failure recovery, building an alarm that goes off when nothing has been crafted in 30 seconds takes one combinator and a speaker.

My take is that Europe, Japan, China are all facing the same problem:

If you reduce housing to affordable prices, for example by building lots of government-owned rental units like in Singapore, then the old generation who invested into housing is upset that you destroyed their assets.

If you keep housing an appreciating asset, then young people are too poor to raise kids on their parents' level, so they might delay/abandon having kids.
The idea isn’t about that quality is important though. It is that, even though people feel it is important, no one has been able to rationalize it or measure it. And that sometimes we act and talk as if we can.

I’m not sure why you keep denigrating it as a couch philosophy. Just curious, are you doing that because you have worked through philosophies from academia or the classics?
I agree. The justification "but desktop operating systems let us do it" means nothing to me because desktop operating systems are known for having bad security. It only works on those systems because there is no security for programs reading each other's data.
A common usecase for async is if you are implementing a web service with an API. Suppose your API uses Spotify’s API. Your server can handle many requests at once. It would be nice if all of them can call Spotify’s API at the same time without each holding a thread. Tokio tasks have much lower overhead than OS threads. Your N requests can all await at once and it doesn’t take N threads to do it.
It should be illegal to charge someone for a month of a service that they did not use.

They have the money to provide for them to a standard higher than modern western countries, not just to an 18th c subsistence level. Also those money examples are minor details against the backdrop of poorer countries having more kids, and poorer generations in Japan having more kids (in the 4x region).

What they lack is the will. That's not a judgement: if everyone's privately ok with the situation, e.g. letting the population steadily decline in hope a natural equilibrium point will be reached, that's one thing.

But collectively lying about the situation and its causes is another.

Otherwise, prioritisation (e.g. having hours of unnecessary meetings versus just go home) would fix the problem automatically steadily over time.

Well, it leads to situations like these:

>The Supreme Court discussed the relationship between the section 7 pre-trial right to silence and the confessions rule in Singh.90 That case involved a detained murder suspect who was interrogated by individuals he knew were police. In the course of the interrogation, Singh asserted his right to remain silent 18 times before ultimately responding to police questions with some self-incriminating statements. The defence objected to the admissibility of Singh’s statements on the basis that they were obtained in violation of his section 7 right to silence, but a slim majority of the Supreme Court rejected this argument. The majority held that, where a detainee is interrogated by known police, the section 7 right to silence is subsumed into the voluntariness inquiry.91 Since the trial judge had considered all the circumstances and determined that the statements were made voluntarily, the question whether the accused’s free will was overborne had already been answered and the section 7 right to silence could provide no further protection.92

> No gay person I know decided to be gay to try and solve their problems.

I suppose problems could arise by trying not to be gay in a time/place where it's been deemed abnormal or immoral, hence just being the gay person you are would solve some of those problems. If you're incapable of being faithful in a monogamous relationship, that's a real concern and a huge red flag, but one way to solve ot in the near-term would be to stop trying monogamous relationships, whether or not it's the cause or effect of it not working. Suppose you eventually go to therapy and realize you were habitually cheating for some other reason, problem is still mitigated somewhat by avoiding the context where those problems arise, much like avoiding skid row when drug addiction causes you problems.

> There are some HP laptops that offered FreeDOS as an alternative to Windows

That's interesting, will take a look.
I mean, many others have used the same tactics with civil suits—being stripped of all of one’s money might be marginally better than being put in prison, but I’d argue it’s still on the same spectrum, so it makes for a hell of a lot of leverage.

So I don’t think this works as an argument against private prosecutors—it’s rather an argument against a legal system that necessitates ruinously expensive lawyers, which is a major problem, but one I see no solution for, not even a blank-slate one. (To be clear, I still reserve my judgment on whether private prosecutors are actually a good idea. What do you do if a private party takes up a murder investigation and screws it up?.. I’m not ready to give up non bis in idem for this. On the other hand, the idea sounds sufficiently reasonable that I probably wouldn’t have thought to question it had I been brought up to think it were normal.)
