Once PRs start to exceed 10k lines of code, they seem to become slightly “safer.”
I suspect this is because the extreme end of PR sizes includes refactors, which
maybe start including less functionality change and therefore have a slightly
lower chance of breaking. Alternatively, engineers may become progressively more
reluctant to revert PRs after 10k lines because of emotional anchoring and merge
conflicts.

Personally, I wince at Python because, while I view it as a quick-and-dirty scripting language, some people write production code in Python. And here we are ten years later, stuck with code that reads a few metrics from the system, packages them into JSON, and sends them to an API for monitoring. The code takes 7 seconds at 100% CPU to resolve the imports, every time it runs.
Every major country is trying to build new fabs as fast as they can. ASML (maker of the highest resolution lithography machines) has a 400% increase in orders for their equiopment. This isn't a decision of "Japan instead of US", the US is building as many fabs as they can, so is Japan, so is Europe

> I anyways hear about how the entire semiconductor industry is completely dependent on TSMC

I don't think it's as strong dependance as many commenters assume here. Samsung is 2 years behind TSMC and intel 3-4 years behind in terms of fab capability. While losing 2 years of progress is not great, it's definitely nothing like world can't function without TSMC.

Obviously they need few years to ramp up but I assume it's not like Taiwan geopolitics situation would change in a day.
Back in the day I had an app that downloaded my podcasts to my iPhone 3S every morning over wifi before I listened to them on my way into work. Then Apple added podcatcher support to iTunes, which at the time was a program you ran on your Mac or Window PC to use to get music onto iPods or iPhones. Sadly, I'd just started using Ubuntu so that wasn't an option for me, besides the inconvenience of having to do that manually every morning. I put together a hacky solution in the short term, then moved to Android.
I come to art for a very different reason than modern art tries to press on me and emotions they try to evoke in me. I simply refuse to play that game, have herd mentality and just accept opinions and emotions of others.

Maybe I was spoiled by art of folks like Rembrandt or Vermeer viewed in museums, I like this form of art, I like seeing proper multiyear effort of struggling artist recognized only long after death and the resulting beauty, this sort of suffering always brings the best artist forward.

Especially compared to folks who pump their ass full of some color, spray that shit on canvas and sell it for millions. The only emotion in this is insult, and you definitely don't need art for that, daily news is enough. Literally everybody I ever asked this, from various professions and intellect and so on has roughly same opinion.

> once by the wasm runtime to compile the rust-python wasm

I'm not sure what you mean by that. The runtime doesn't compile WASM, it simply executes it.

There are tools for dealing with interpreter runtime overhead this by pre-initalizing the environment like Wizer[0]. ComponentizeJS[1] uses it to pre-initialize the Spidermoney engine it packages to gain fast startup times (and you can then prune the initialization only code with wasm-opt). As techniques like ComponentizeJS are also being applied for a specific set of interpreted files, you can even prune parts of the interpreter that would never be used for that specific program. If you want to go even further you could record specific execution profiles and optimize based on those.

I've done every bit of the kernely/cgroupy/bpf/vfio/syscall stuff for a long time and I honestly don't think I could tell you pretty much anything about building an OS.

I actually came into this thread thinking, "damn, I have no idea specifically WHAT I would do/not do if I made an OS, or where to even start" not that I could at all. But I mean feature-wise, etc. Like, it's obviously a ton of apis that you call to invoke things at the system level but I have no idea what to do at the system level. Maybe you just communicate with APIs over there for everything on the motherboard. I know Nvidia has NVAPI I've used that a bunch through their SDK, not more low level. And you start with probably a super baby kernel..

There are also different styles of OS, like windows with the registry which I have broken and fixed thousands of times, and then nix which is pretty much file based. I don't know what else would be better than either of these, I hate the registry thing but maybe it has some huge benefit I haven't figured out.

When I look at C I see heiroglypics. Maybe me learning rust is helping with that. I do really need to learn it for security sake and (live)patching, etc. I write go and ruby so I don't touch memory much.

I'm the same about filesystems. I know a bunch of them and hve done tons of performance testing for SANs etc but couldn't tell you a thing about the lower level, making one, stuff.

How does it survive? Is it that there hasn't been a big enough legal challenge against it?
You can definitely do that, it just means that userspace can now stall access to things unless you're very careful :) Like, one model (often used by EDR, which is why everyone hates them) is that every operation must be "authorized" so it doesn't go through until some evaluation happens. But this means the kernel has to ask a program for every operation, which is slow.

I agree that it makes more sense to buy your Kubernetes on an organizational basis because one should not reinvent the wheel, and taking advantage of a commoditized service is only possible if you work with a competent broker.

However I am wary of the capacity of skills vendors to take advantage when you come to depend on them, even when their intentions are good and all ideals aligned. Being able to deliver the limited Kubernetes experience for yourself in low-stakes contexts, where you can depend on it because you know how it works, well enough to administer in a pinch, but availing that also in a pinch you're not the bottleneck to solve a problem, because you use the managed broker in all the places where it matters, feels like a sweet spot to me.

I don't want to pay money to a broker every time I spin up a new experiment for the duration of the experiment =/= I don't want to perform experiments.

That's where I see the disconnect that "Leadership" may fail to understand. You can provide a service at low marginal cost to take some of the load off your people, and that might also have the effect of stopping any experiments that fall beneath a certain threshold as "not worth the cost" - all because we settled on getting something for cheap that should have been free.

Then again, dodging all those diversions might have been a part of the strategy...

Yes, of course you can query the messages - that's why the feature exists, and what XMPP clients use it for. Otherwise we'd be missing messages all the time.

I think these days the term "leave" is a bit vague, and it's important to note that what you're talking about is pretty much just down to the UI that clients used for presence in the past. Most clients no longer show presence in that way, because it has been noisy and useless now for many years, and because mobile connectivity is the norm and "offline" does not mean "offline" (thanks to push notifications). Instead they prefer to show membership info instead (which is persistent).

Most platforms (Slack, Matrix, etc.) also support presence and membership as separate things. But (as far as I know) they never rendered presence the way you describe ("X has left the chat"), as they were created after the mobile era was already in full swing.
If they hired bespoke custom development from contractors at the price range these WP sites are developed for, do you think that would be better code?

On the bright side, some manufacturing jobs brought state side. On the other hand, it’s in KY. These multibillion dollar deals tend to land in states with the lowest cost of living, non-educated workforce, minimal enforcement/respect of environment (dump waste into rivers), and tend to be subsidized at the state and local levels.

Apple opened up shop outside of Austin (ie, not Travis County) because of lower taxes and more incentives provided by other county. Multi Trillion dollar company by the way. Amazon has been opening up warehouses in the sticks, soaking up all of those incentives from those desperate small towns looking to giveaway the land for a couple of decades in exchange for short term gains (mayor/city council able to say, we brought X jobs to Y town!1). Yet another multibillion company taking advantage of the desperate.

What do the people get in return? Getting the opportunity to work shit hours in a non-union job. Possibly back breaking work. No investment in their future. Just cogs in the wheel which are completely fungible (broke your back? File a claim with insurance. Fuck off. Deal with it. Not our problem. Then hire the next sucker to replace you.

Softbank's belief was that throwing capital would just make things work. But from wework to many other of their startups shows its not the case.

Telsa had to deploy their capital very efficiently in a capital intensive industry. Say their bet on the Shanghai factory, despite obvious IP leak risks and spawning deadly competitors like BYD, was their only choice to reach scale at a low cost.
Indeed. Most coal will be phased out of Europe by 2035 [1], and could run entirely on renewables by 2030 if they choose to spend accordingly (~€2T, not terribly feasible but gives an idea of fiat-time tradeoff) [2], leaving buildings (heat pumps [3]) and EVs [4] to sweep out quite a bit of the remaining emissions (with manufacturing, agriculture, and other sources still needing solutioning [5]).

"Same as cash" is part of the problem here. Credit cards offer way more protection. I don't want to give cash-equivalent to somebody I've never done business with, unless it's a physical good I can immediately examine in person and take possession of.

But really I meant more user error, like getting phished or hacked out of a wallet, a mistake in coding up a smart contract, a mistake in choosing which third-party moderator or online exchange to trust, etc. Every step of the way is fraught with risk. The same crypto opportunities that opportunists get rich on seem to be built on other people's misfortunes. It's a zero-sum game.
> “So long as we insist that cells are computers and genes are their code"

Dude, it would be a huge improvement already if people DID treat cells as computers and genes as their code. Or rather, DNA, including especially also the bits that are not genes.

Many people really don't seem to think of DNA like they think about software at all. And those people draw all kinds of weird conclusions that they'd never draw if they realized it was at least like software. Because then they'd realize that of course it's unlikely to be able to find a (single) gene for eg. 'intelligence'. Just like there's no op-code for 'Mario' in 6502 machine code. (Not even if the 6502 is installed in a nintendo entertainment system.)

Treating DNA as software is not necessarily sufficient, but it is certainly necessary if you want to make a start at getting anywhere near sufficient.

> "It's time to admit that genes are not the blueprint for life"

Well, yeah, blueprints are static pictures on a piece of paper, while programs can be dynamic, complex, iterative, recursive, undecidable and/or fundamentally weird.

By the time we get to whatever this self-modifying highly evolved pile of spaghetti that is called "DNA" is; sure, we may want a separate word for that kind of phenomenon.

'Alive' might come close. But I hear that that's highly controversial. ;-)
Ukraine and Russia also mostly speak the same language. Doesn’t mean much if the great leader decides to make a move, actually it is another reason to make a move.
It's quite clearly decimal floats, with instant trapping instead of bad values.

IMO, with the sheer amount of silicon modern processors use for incredibly specialized gains, there's no reason our computers should be specialized for scientific computations when they could support daily computations too.

You obviously do not want decimals on your GPU, but the choice on the CPU is out of wack.
There are select EU nations that fit that bill. I'd be more suspect of the fact that the EU's political future (not existence, but future) is more uncertain than is communicated to the public. East-West political instability would be a concern in terms of ip control and espionage, at minimum. For more context, historically Europe is a powder keg.
> Or flying a plane and the system has to reboot midair instead of saying you're at -32768 feet of altitude?

This is exactly how Airbus's computer control philosophy works: Bail out in case of inconsistencies/unexpected errors. In the best case, this means falling back to the other (one or two) still operational redundant instances of the same component. The remediation is to literally reboot the errored-out component manually, mid-flight, with absolutely no adverse consequences. For all you know, this has already happened on a flight you've been on!

In the worst case (which can happen if it's an internally-consistent error condition, e.g. something like a conceptually unforeseen condition that none of the equivalent system instances can handle), the entire system declares failure and bails out to a lower-level system, if needed all the way down to mechanic/hydraulic connections to the most critical control surfaces in case of e.g. the A320. This can mean that e.g. the pilots need to start flying the plane manually.

Flying manually is preferred over e.g. one of two systems thinking that the plane is upside down, with a compromise action of rotating 90 degrees along some axis.
How is it about safety then? All the Rust program parts scripted using python are unsafe?
The Republic of China (aka Taiwan) had never any interests in effectively and finally surrendering to the communists on the mainland.

The "threat of invasion" has been the case since 1949. The communists stopped and did not 'finish the job' because it was hard, because of a deal with the Nationalists, because they got distracted in Korea, whatever other plausible reasons. This has been the situation since.

Interestingly this does not mean that the people, especially pro-KMT, are necessarily 'pro-US'. Those people are rooting for China but not for the communists and see the US as a necessary 'evil', so to speak.
So now we have cable again.

One of the huge benefits of moving from cable to truly a-la-carte streaming services is that you were no longer forced into a cable "bundle" that included many channels you didn't want (eg, ESPN) & that you were forced to subsidize. It looks like we're back to this point now.
It's not. 0x8000 is the smallest (-32,768) integer that can be represented with 16-bits and two's complement.
I didn't say it needed to be loud to make power.

I said mine _is_ loud when the valves are full open. Around the city, they're closed and it sounds factory.

My exhaust is modified. Valves open, it happens to be louder than factory. OP thinks this should be banned. I don't think loudness is a pre-requisite of power, it just so happens it is louder because "quiet" wasn't in the scope of requirements for the aftermarket downpipe and exhaust.

You're telling me what I should or shouldn't do while being willfully ignorant of what I was saying and showing a judgy narrow minded attitude. You're also projecting a lot of worst-case gap-filling there, which is often a sign of insecurity in ones own arguments. I won't accept value judgements over what is childish from you :)
Part of the issue is that Go has a variety of design choices / limitations that conspire to produce different design patterns in this area than what you might see with e.g. Java.

For example: let's say we want to implement something akin to Java's Comparator interface.

Java allows interfaces to be extended with default implementations. It also allows methods to specify their own generics separate from the entire interface / class.

Thus the "comparing()" method can take in a Function<T, U> that extracts a value of type U from T that is used for comparison purposes. The return type is Comparator<T>.

(Generics simplified a bit, there are other overloads, etc.)

There's also thenComparing(), which allows chaining Comparator instances and / or chaining Function<T, U>.

As a consequence, one can use .thenComparing() to build up a Comparator from the fields on a class pretty quickly. Especially with lambda syntax.

Go doesn't support methods having different type parameters than the overall interface / struct.

Go also doesn't have default implementations. It doesn't allow function or method overloading.

Go does have first class functions, however.

To build the equivalent capability, you'd most likely build everything around a comparison function (func[T any](a, b T) int) and write a bunch of functions to glue them together / handle useful operations.

That impacts the readability of a long chain of calls, especially since Go doesn't have a lambda syntax to make things a bit tighter.

Getting rid of the limitation on method-level generics would make this _significantly_ more ergonomic.
