x64 and ARM64 are both little endian on Linux and Windows; there are never endianness issues when moving from Windows/x64 to Linux/ARM64. You can freely assume little endian and that's fine in this combination. It's one of many benefits ARM64 has going for it that IBM POWER does not.
Over time I’m coming to two conclusions:

1. Standard libraries are the new operating systems

2. The only way to design reasonable (lean, secure, responsive, interoperable, reliable, long lasting, etc.) software is for rich and carefully thought out abstractions to be incorporated into operating system and/or standard library APIs.

We have to remove complexity by building better operating systems, programming language, and core standards/ abstractions. A great example is web components—they should have destroyed the case for React and its ilk,
instead a completely wasted opportunity.

In the continental US you get ~2x the heat from burning natural gas in a combined cycle turbine to run a heat pump than you would from using a high efficiency gas furnace.

The market price of electricity vs gas varies quite a bit through time and various distortions of the market. Currently gas is cheap, but you want to compare historical averages when buying something that lasts 15+ years not simply look at current rates.
Treating a context value as a bag to fetch data out of is the first mistake. They should only ever be used to control things like deadlines and whether or not a part of a function executes. IMHO they should disallow attaching values to a context.

"In her paper, published in the Journal of Sex Research this past June, Balzarini compared the demographic backgrounds of 2,428 polyamorous individuals and 539 monogamous ones by asking participants to take an online survey. Her team found that polyamorous people tend to identify more as bisexual/pansexual, are more likely to report being divorced, and make less money yearly than monogamous couples."

"When it came to monogamous relationships, 74 percent of straight respondents reported being monogamous compared to only 17 percent of bi/pan respondents. (The remaining percentage identified as gay/lesbian or other.)"

Also, this is entirely anecdotal, but in the various circles I'm a part of, every single polyamorous person I know is queer to some degree. Granted, a lot of that is because the people in my circles are disproportionately queer, but not nearly so much that it would be the sole reason for that.

I feel that it is the users that are losing, not FF. It's like the meme "those who know/those who don't". People still (and forever will) trade safety/security/privacy/rights for some convenience. I expect nothing better/less from Google or Microsoft. I don't expect people to "wake up" and see what they are giving up/away.

They say that you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved. I think that by know every person online has come across on some article that states/warns about Chrome, Edge, Google ads/tracking, etc.

We will not save those who don't want to be saved.
I agree, fwiw. Let's move on to a post-money communist society.

Yup, me too. And with my Nest thermostat, I can manually configure the crossover point. I did so at the economic balance point (where the heat pump is cheaper than my gas furnace).
Are you trying to be pedantic? A diff by itself does not necessarily contain any information at all. However, it should be fairly obvious a complete diff in relation to a reference contains all the information of a prior state. So it's functionally similar to a copy.

Most of the time you accept a context because some downstream function requires it (i.e. I'm writing an HTTP client, and the `net/http` std lib functions require context for some part of it). You can have general confidence that the standard library will respect things like context deadlines, even if the wrappers that invoke that don't necessarily.

Plus many crates have zero unsafe code, so they're not much of a liability at least in terms of the common memory safety problems. The nice thing about unsafe code having to be declared is you can get an idea of a crates attack surface at a glance just by grepping for it - if only evaluating C/C++ libraries were so easy.
I know this nit-picks but... it didn't "learn" anything.

It progressively improved its algorithm using a series of feedback sessions.

It _improved_ but it didn't _learn_. Someone pre-programmed basic control and feedback parameters.

Don't get me wrong—this is still amazing and has useful applications. But can we please stop calling this improvement/refining/tuning process "learning"?
Income-based base billing is indeed terrible, but it is not an attack on solar. You'd pay it whether you have panels or not. Also, legislators have apparently come to their senses and are looking to repeal it. [1-2] As for the pricing for power sent to the grid, I did mention the changes to net metering, which offer grandfathering for existing installations.

Yes an object oriented language that has meaningful command names that make sense and not require you to be born in 1950s to understand its trivia.

An object oriented language that doesn't have weird-ass pitfalls: https://web.archive.org/web/20240112161109/http://mywiki.woo...

An object oriented language that takes the piping concept and improves it so one can actually form pipelines that make sense and not waste limited resources in just parsing text. However at the same time add more powerful and efficient text parsing tools. So one can actually script on the go with ease.

An object oriented language that is not C which is the language which most stubborn Unix developers usually reach for when their shell is too inefficient or too unwieldy for certain tasks and create even more security holes.
This x100.

If you take a function and tell someone it's "too complex" and tell them to "fix it", that person will usually end up splitting it into, say, three functions. And now, you've just multiplied that complexity by all the different possible permutations of how/where the different functions can call each other. Corner cases that you could previously rule out because the control flow made them impossible are now fair game.
It's actually pretty wasteful that it doesn't work that way.

There's a small problem with Windows, there are no guarantees you'll have Chromium based Edge installed on a system. You'll have to download and install it if not present, and when I looked it was 100+MB. Sure, you don't have to include it in installer, but you have to account for that case.

Or they'll figure out how to run good simulations once and copy paste it as desired? It wouldn't require them to be "exceedingly conservative", just a reasonable approach to their hardware and software.

Again, that's assuming their reality looks anything like ours. This is the real problem with these discussions, we're speculating about the motives of entities we cannot even in principle have any information about.

By the way, you might want to figure out how much you're actually worried about breaking the simulation, since you acknowledge that corruption would be a problem. Reasoning from human simulations, as seems to be your wont, do you think that risk of corruption is small enough to be so gung ho about messing with things?
Another +1 for the smartwatch.

Before: Every time a message arrives the phone makes that noise, and a little lamp is lit in my brain which stays lit until I pick up and unlock the phone and look at the message, answer, etc.

After: The phone is in silent mode all the time. When a message arrives I get a little tickle on my wrist - I just glance down and see who it's from and the lamp in my brain has nothing to do anymore. I even sometimes forget to pull out the phone and answer the message later.

It's easier to leave the phone out of reach, I feel less need to have it on me.
It's great having a phone which never makes a sound. If a call comes in I see it on the watch and can reject the call from my wrist and optionally send an SMS instead. And podcasts are not interrupted by annoying pings.

It's a Garmin, so only have to charge it once every 10 days or so, and there's not much to do on it.

The only thing stopping me from buying a great pump is how unreliable the power grid is in my area. Lines are above ground, with numerous trees overhanging them so a snow storm is high risk for a power outage at a time I can least afford it, as road conditions may prevent seeking shelter elsewhere. Conversely, with a furnace and a small generator to run the blower, I can keep heat on through a couple days without power.
There is some additional detail in the reporting from Ars Technica[0]:

> The study looked at all emergency department visits, not only visits related to abortion. This could capture medical care beyond abortion-related conditions, because people on Medicaid often lack primary care and resort to going to emergency departments for routine care. When the researchers tried to narrow down the visits to just those related to abortion, they included medical codes that were not related to abortion, such as codes for ectopic pregnancy, and they didn't capture the seriousness of the condition that prompted the visit. Medication abortions can cause bleeding, and women can go to the emergency department if they don't know what amount of bleeding is normal. The study also counted multiple visits from the same individual patient as multiple visits, likely inflating the numbers. Last, the study did not put the data in context of emergency department use by Medicaid beneficiaries in general over the time period.

i am not going to point fingers, but there is one vendor that had or maybe still has issue, that allowed you to get to management interface of entire organization as administrator if you knew serial number of one of the devices deployed.

i by accident got into admin account of rather large organization with hundreds of devices active

this vendor didn't have proper way that allowed to disclose this issue in a anonymous fashion.

> You can still maintain the infrastructure with base fees

In theory yes, but the grid has not used properly scoped base fees to pay for infrastructure. Delivery costs of power are more than half the total cost; to get to a base+generation model, you'd probably see monthly connection fees for Electricity in the $100+ range for many Americans.
I really wanted to. I was working on getting a POWER64 port of 9front going, so far I have most of userspace compiling and linking but nothing for a kernel. A friend of mine had a Raptor Talos 2 that was having some issues that he sent over to me to try to use. I did a bunch of debugging of it and concluded there must be some issue with the motherboard. I have tried to contact Raptor some number of times to see what it would cost/take to get this machines repaired but have heard nothing. I've tried their irc channels and support tickets ... nothing back. This experience didn't make me confident in spending the money on a new machine.

In the meantime I have tried to do some work with QEMU but I ran in to some snag in understanding exactly how "hypervisor" mode works according to the POWER9 manual. It has some confusing conditions about hypervisor mode and managing the page table, I had tried to join the IBM mailing list for openpower and had asked to see if someone could explain how the hypervisor mode worked more comprehensively, but got nothing back. Of course there really isn't a wealth of information to help me figure this out the otherwise.

I say this because both of these were symptoms of the same problem. POWER is really not hobbyist friendly, both in investment cost and in support. There just isn't enough of an ecosystem in my experience.
> People who "just want to get stuff done" choose the library with the most features and then beg for even more since they can't be bothered to write the 3 lines of code it would have been to solve it outside the library.

I feel this so much.

I once had a contract for ruby on rails work. They were experiencing severe performance issues, so bad that they were developing in release mode (server won't detect a file change and reload for you).

One day I get tired of it and start digging into it. I don't remember how many gems they were pulling in but it was A LOT. I came across one particular gem which saved 3 lines of code. Seriously.

I stayed away from the RoR community after that. I recently picked up a contract for more RoR work (after all these years, lol) and ... it's not nearly as bad but it's not good either.

Some communities just do NOT respect the risk that dependencies bring.
Cryptography Advice? (#L120)
currently playing around with X25519/chacha20 (and its AEAD counterpart chacha20poly1305) to do some PGP-esque encryption stuffs.

based on my understanding of stream ciphers, "nonce reuse" refers more specifically to "nonce reuse with a given key, for different plaintexts."

basically the thing that i'm trying to evaluate is whether there is any risk to "reusing" a single nonce with a bunch of keys that are guaranteed to be random.

the process for encryption is as follows:

1. Generate one-time and ephemeral components

- nonce

- one-time content key

- ephemeral private key

- one-time public key

2. Sign plaintext to generate content signature

3. Encrypt plaintext and content signature with one-time content key

4. Encrypt one-time content key for all recipients

- Generate shared secret with recipient public key and ephemeral private key

- Encrypt one-time content key with shared secret

in the current setup the "content key" (think PGP session key) is always randomly generated, and the Diffie-Hellman shared secrets—used to encrypt the "content key" for each recipient—are created with an ephemeral/throw-away private key that's also randomly generated (and if you have a duplicated public key in your recipient set, it's still same-key-for-same-nonce-for-same-plaintext so no violation).

additionally, if there was somehow an overlap on a recipient's DH shared secret and the content key (statistically very low likelihood) i'm not sure that there is any additional vulnerability, or way to analyze without having already either gotten the content key or the shared secret, and in either of those cases you're already in.

NOTE: this whole thing is mostly just about saving storage space; ideally just wouldn't have to store an additional 24 bytes per recipient. with benchmarking, the time overhead of generating a nonce for each recipient is negligible.
Only humans have real names. I'm a figment of the computer's imagination.
>So being able to bring us the same setup anywhere is a huge win.

So like ... a laptop? Plus maybe an extra portable USB-C display or your iPad as an external monitor?

For your statement to be correct, it means that someone would have to be using the APV as their daily driver default setup for work in order to take it with them wherever they go, and not just use it as a secondary travel setup in parrales to their mains etup.

Curious how many people will actually daily drive the AVP for 8 hour workday as their default work setup long term, versus the ones who will give up on it as soon as the hype/honeymoon period is over and then only use it sporadically.
I'm not sure what your point is. Nobody (in the us) is shipping people straight to prison on the basis of public admissions of guilt. You still shouldn't publicly admit to a crime.
The point you’re missing is electricity should never be expensive, if it is then you’re doing something very stupid.
It's built on UDP because UDP is simple enough to basically be perfect. It's header is 8 bytes, of which the first 6 are obviously necessary and the last 2 are pretty nice. If you were re-doing the protocol, how would you change it to be more efficient?

Not an argument. Plenty of things seemed like they will progress/grow exponentially when they were invented yet they didn’t.

Perhaps, but why?
If electricity is costly, it makes sense to put solar panels. Consolidate all energy (transportation - EV, HVAC - electric, induction stove, heat pump water heater), put solar panels, and wipe off all energy bills. Every household can save $400 - $800 on utility bills.
