My comment was replying to someone claiming that you can’t get a no-bloat operating system like 3.11 anymore. I was just pointing out that it has been possible the entire time.

It would certainly be silly to change OS just for the sake of it on a 30 year old project.
Since we're at "quoting wikipedia" levels of pedantry, may I point out that your article calls this a "Compound" not a "Compound word". And the statement "group of words that is not a compound is a phrase" requires that there exists a "group of words that is a compound". "If they are joined with a space (e.g. school bus, high school, lowest common denominator), then the result – at least in English[1] – may be an open compound." Here, the word "they" refers to "words", and the article does not say that such a group of words is an "open compound word".

So that is two words, that together form a Compound.

More explicitly, from the definition for "Word" [1]: "For example, ice cream, air raid shelter and get up each are generally considered to consist of more than one word (as each of the components are free forms, with the possible exception of get), and so is no one, but the similarly compounded someone and nobody are considered single words."

Let's say management decide to lay off 50% of their engineering workforce.

This decreases our new loan amount to $1.5M. Revenue now needs to increase by $74,150 instead of $105,800. That's less than if we retained all our engineers, but it's still quite high.

What about something more drastic? What if we lay off 90% of the engineering workforce?

This decreases our new loan amount to $1.1M. Revenue now needs to increase by $48,830. The pour soul(s) that are left are going to be spending all their time maintaining the existing systems, they won't be able to increase revenue by over 2x what we did in 2022.
This has no practical impact on actual bicycles though, in practice they all fail, at similar rates.

Nice. I have a ton of board game prototypes I'd like to make web games of at some point, so I spent a little time writing up some functions for a general board game library myself for making board games, but didn't get too far (just some grid generation, custom die rolling, card drawing, tournament functions, some tests to demonstrate various scenarios, and a few other things). But I'll never have time to do it properly, especially juggling other projects. Maybe I'll just see how easy it is to work with your library.

I concur it's a bit painful to learn the BGA platform, as it's 1) stuck on their platform, you won't be able to put the game anywhere else, and 2) all in PHP, which I prefer not to write in anymore, and 3) with documentation scattered around in various places, including a couple of Powerpoint presentations.

Yes, I read the whole thing but I missed the second half of the last sentence of the second paragraph.

It does preclude it, but clojure found an arguably elegant solution to it, using recur[1] instead. As a plus, in addition to achieving the same result as tail-call elimination, it does check that the call is indeed in tail position, and also works together with loop[2].

For me, it made me not miss tail-call elimination at all.

I am not sure what I expected, but when I visited it ~10 years ago, it was surprisingly unspectacular. Just an open-door university building with a small hallway. On the wall a glass cabinet with the experiment&camera, and a few texts. But if I hadn't known the building, I would never have found out about it, no signs, nothing.
I knew a chap in the band Teeth. They faked a media storm about how they "hacked the Pope's Twitter account" by guessing the password.

But they never did. Then the real media picked up the story.

Next day came the real story: no one ever hacked anything. Clever, they got two media storms for the price of one.

Thats a good point.

For example both the RTX 4090 and the RTX 6000 Ada Generation use the AD102 chip. The RTX 6000 Ada though, would be able to run 70b models due to the larger memory pool despite having the same memory interface width.

I certainly understand that strategy generally, see also Adobe giving Photoshop licenses to students back in the day so that they'd be familiar professionally. It's just that doing so amounts to building an entirely new product, and as a relatively young startup, focus is more important. We're going deep, not wide. Someday :)

> (Also, I get the idea behind two SKUs, but can buyers at least configure storage and compute separately? Different workloads need radically different ratios.)

Right now, this early: no. Sleds have compute and storage located together, so the unit of customization is currently "number of sleds in the rack" which according to https://oxide.computer/product/specifications apparently is currently three, not two, at the moment: 16, 24 or 32 sleds.

You are right that these need to be different for certain customers and workloads, we just aren't ready to support those just yet. We'll get there. Same issue, different aspect.
Possibly worse, by removing the freedom to do business with partners of one’s choice, you would obliterate the justification for the “charging order” which would result in the loss of your business’ assets the moment part of its ownership passed to a debtor. Now in addition to the pension funds going under, all the businesses go too.

At the end of the day, things get popular through social processes, so it's far more a matter of social factors—some of which are practically random—than any intrinsic qualities of the thing itself.
The big thing I took away from LISP is that having everything be prefix solves a lot of problems. Seriously, the arguments people have in languages like Zig about whether to have "operator overloading" just seem a bit silly. Operators are just functions, it's very silly to make them syntastically different.

But I never got much into REPL driven development. Probably because I just couldn't wrap my head around emacs.
> why can't normal media be this clear

there is a strong incentive to keep users on a page as long as possible which means burying the information as deeply as possible. even mainstream-reputable sources like CNN have nothing but clickbait headlines on the front page every day, telling you something big has happened without saying exactly what it was. journalism has always been problematic throughout history but i feel it's at new lows today

Happy to see that the article gets there eventually, but it's buried pretty deep: People betting on Donald Trump to win the election he had just lost weren't actually betting money. They were spending it.

They are saying "I will spend $,000 just to show that I support Trump to the point where I [pretend to] believe him when he says he won the election [that he clearly just lost]". It's MAGA culture's way of - wait for it - virtue signaling.

And the prediction market is just vacuuming up most of that money for themselves. You can bet against it for a nominal profit, but you're paying the vig to do it, and the vig is a big chunk when the odds are sitting at 9:1.
It is, IMO, a missed opportunity to use a hard-coded identifier for `recur`ing instead of the `(let sym ((...)) ...)` form that would let you nest loops.

Aside from that, I agree. Tail-call optimization's benefits are wildly overblown.
What about cost-cutting measures? As long as it doesn't impact your ability to generate revenue, this is a good strategy.

However, other companies that are your clients are doing the same thing - cutting costs by no longer paying your company. It's an economic positive feedback loop. Companies cut costs, which reduces the revenue of other companies, so they cut costs.

> effectively regulating and destroying the anonymous nature of the internet

The bulk of the internet has not been anonymous for a while. Facebook requires an id already, Google tracks you using Google and the OS, reddit is tightening to control bots, amazon requires a phone number.

Think about it. What portion of your activities day to day on the Internet are anonymous? Now try to do them anonymously. It isn't practical/possible anymore and the internet of yesteryear is gone.

This is a consequences of every communication medium becoming saturated with advertising. How many airlines refrain from ever using customer contact information for marketing purposes? And even if a few do, they exist in the context of a society where such behavior is pervasive. People who want to go about their lives without being hounded constantly to engage in unwanted economic transactions are often unable to fight back any other way other than ignoring communication attempts from entities with an economic desire to engage in commerce with everyone as much as possible.

Hi. I actually left Haskell for Rust. And when I say "left", I mean I don't start new projects in it. I still maintain my libraries.

I wrote Haskell for 10 years or so, both FOSS and professionally. I've "been around the block" so to speak and consider myself to have a decent view of the landscape. Overall, Rust lets me code in the style I want while being very resource efficient. I write Rust professionally.
I've been obsessed with the US Chemical Safety Board videos on YouTube that describe in great detail the events that lead up to industrial accidents. One of the common themes I've seen among them is that there's usually some sort of warning sign or near miss that goes ignored by the people responsible for them since they don't cause any major damage. Then a few days or months later that system fails in an entirely predictable way with catastrophic consequences. A good example of this is the fatal phosgene gas release at a DuPont chemical plant[1].

Thanks for the insights, egh! It's clear now why SQLite wouldn't be ideal for this purpose. Also, the point about URLs not always being valid filenames really makes sense.
I used to think so, but these days, I wonder why I used to think that rest mass is more intuitive. For most things we interact with and develop intuitions about, their speeds are so low that relativistic and rest masses are virtually the same, so that intuition can't come from experience. Photons are the exception to that, but we never encounter them at rest, and there's no particular reason we would have an intuition that photons must be massless until we learn about it in school. And then people have to overcome the confusion that photons do still carry momentum despite being massless.

If we think of mass in terms of inertia, the difference between rest mass and relativistic mass only shows up at relativistic speeds (like in a particle accelerator, or cosmic rays). At that point, relativity and Lorentz transforms needs to be taken into account anyway; the half-lives of unstable particles get affected by time dilation, and so on.

The other way that mass shows up in physics is through gravitation. If we think of mass in terms of its gravitational influence, then relativistic mass is all that matters, and rest mass seems to mess with people's intuitions much more, causing all sorts of conceptual mistakes. Like thinking that photons don't gravitate.

Rest mass does has some theory-simplifying mathematical advantages, but I don't think those benefits will matter to the intuitions of non-experts.

Ask HN: Are full-page Google Ads more frequent now?
They seem to be everywhere and it’s terribly disrupting to me. I don’t remember seeing them aside from very scammy sites before. Now they are even on reputable ones.

Is this related to a decrease in Google’s payment to site owners?
Can they choose to enable it or opt-out?

If you told me the small, tasteful, text-only Google Ads of the early 2000s would morph into something that obscures the entire page while still dominating the ad market, I’d call you crazy.

Together with the pricing increase of Google Workspace, (doubling in just one year, in my case), drastic reducing the reCAPTCHA free limit, etc, it seems reasonable to me to assume that Google’s profit are declining to an unsustainable degree. Or is it just confirmation bias?
> - Why not use a regular folder and file system with separate metadata files? It seems simpler and more user-friendly.

Filesystems don't generally deal well with having billions of files. Like you can work around some issues with deep directory structures, but even then it's not very effective and many cases you'll run out of inodes before you even reach a single billion. This is not a use-case filesystems in general tend to optimize for.

> - Why not use SQLite?

The main reason WARC looks like it does is to be as recoverable as possible if the crawler hard-crashes. There are much fewer things that can go wrong compared other formats. Records are only stored in exactly one location. Data corruption, write faults and other error states are all easy to detect and reason about. You have to work really hard to mess up a WARC file beyond being able to salvage most of it.
Here's an example. You don't have a right to a short barreled shotgun (per US v. Miller). But you can get one by buying a stamp. If I'm a felon applying for the stamp would be incriminating, thus courts ruled felon cannot be guilty of not disclosing they have the shotgun. So they get to have it and never 'log' it even though everyone else must.

It's only violating the fifth for the part where you must admit to crimes, not all logging. I'm talking about hours logged past the maximum.

It’s an open compound word composed of individual words that aren’t used singularly, in that the meaning is changed if they are interpreted individually or singly. This isn’t an adjective phrase in this case. I don’t know who you’re trying to convince but the person I responded to is simply mistaken or ignorant of compound words and how they are used, interpreted, or referred to. The fact that open compound words are made up of parts that would be multiple words if used in a different context doesn’t change the facts of my original statement, but I do appreciate you taking the time to elucidate the point further. Nothing you have written here contradicts anything I wrote. Open compound words are considered single words lexically because the entire compound word fulfills the role of a single part of speech in a given sentence.

To add to this, WARC.gz files are also concatenated gzip records, so you can read any record by starting a decompression at a known offset. This gives you the access time of a file with the efficiency of having many many records only taking up one file.

We can replace some of the engineers income with company equity ie: shares of the company. This way we don't have to take out as large loans, but we have to give up a certain percentage of the company. This can be done via share transfer or share dilution.

Share transfer is easiest to understand. You give up x% of your company and give it to the other entity.

Share dilution is trickier. Basically you create additional shares out of thin air, and give them to the other entity. This reduces the value of each share, as there's a greater number of shares representing the same company.
> Recursion is sometimes the easiest way to reason about a problem though

Yes, it's one of the things that allow FP algorithms to be more declarative. It's difficult to seriously argue that recursion is fundamentally more complex-- the contrary argument is more obvious to me.

Everything that's left is the fact that it requires people to unlearn things, which is uncomfortable and requires effort, but unfamiliarity is not an indicator of complexity.
