I have to take this opportunity to recite the opening passage of the introduction to thermodynamics and statistical mechanics in David L. Goodstein’s «States of Matter» from 1985:

“Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.”

> I was wondering since the conversion to Rust is a large undertaking & rewrites can have surprises.

There is no concerted effort to rewrite Linux in Rust, so there is no large undertaking. In spite of this VP9 rewrite, things are not being rewritten in Rust for the most part. Some individuals are rewriting some things but more importantly, some new stuff (such as drivers) are being written in Rust. It's this new stuff written in Rust (and not previously written in C) that is the focus IMO.

And most C stuff isn't going to be rewritten. Many maintainers don't know Rust and couldn't review Rust code anyway. The impact of Rust in the kernel so far is pretty modest (the most important code being the driver for Apple silicon GPUs, I think)

> And wow...my original post got flagged? It was a sincere question that I was curious about & didn't have an answer for. Either everyone needs to chill...or is mentioning NULL pointer references in the Linux Kernel some sort of unspoken mortal sin or was I somehow offensive?

I didn't flag your post, but I would guess it was flagged because you immediately assumed that Rust was to blame.
As a fervent long-time Firefox user I would add that currently there are lots of default settings of freshly installed Firefox that are (for me) utterly wrong. And it feels like a sad trend. Last time I tried to use freshly installed Firefox it felt like a completely different browser than my Firefox with more than a decade old profile. Tabbing was wrong, URL bar behaviour was scary. All can be set back to (subjectively) sane state, what is good, but I really grieved poor folks who just decided to try this browser for the first time and were immediately "welcomed" by such disputable UX.

And I don't mind dated UX of bookmarks manager, I even think that compared to other browsers it is the most usable one.

I was not sure how to handle that.

Battery optimization disables the top video element of a muted video once you scroll past it, which stops the WebGL samples from playing. Landing in the middle of the article from another page also prevents the WebGL samples from working with video, which is supposed to illustrate the realtime processing aspect. But unmuted cannot be auto played.

I'll rethink how I approach this for my next article. Maybe a pause button under every WebGL sample?

> If apple has sinister intentions why are iphones supported by software updates much longer than any equivalent android device from the same era?

Apple supports iPhones for seven years. For Google and Samsung, by contrast, it's... seven years.

You're also implying that these are contradictory rather than complementary. They get to sell you a phone you think you'll get seven years out of by advertising seven years of support, rationalizing the premium price with that, and then the warranty expires after one and if it breaks and you can't fix it you have to buy another one. Even if that happens in year two.

> Sometimes it's just different priorities.

The underlying premise is that it's a trade off. Then we see evidence that others can do it without any meaningful sacrifice, implying that it isn't.
The latency issue is increasingly disappearing or at least becoming negligible in most population centers. For example, in my country almost every company uses Citrix (no affiliation) or similar workspace solutions, where the entire workstation is virtualized in a data center and you only access via a thin client. Entire nations of people work like this already.

Cloud gaming will probably be the next frontier in this.

There have been a few articles about that recently. However, you can notice it for yourself if you notice how many products claim to be "recyclable" but how few are recycled.

If recycling were widespread, you'd expect the vast majority of products to be made with recycled plastic.

To paraphrase your comment: "Connecting the ritual of prayer to another task that you want to accomplish, helps in establishing consistency in doing that other task."
Yes, that is a useful tool, to achieve the daily consistency that avoids the "Montage Fallacy". (And it even can elevate your comment to fantastic ;-) )

Less religiously inclined people can easily adapt this concept to other things that they do daily.

Now you are not just promoting prayer but giving a useful analogy. I was a little bit fighty yesterday and perceived a manipulative ploy in your original comment, when it maybe was just a little bit of accidental omission, because coherently and concisely stating something in writing is hard. The latter is something I am also struggling with. And maybe I was going hard on you because you started off with a well stated argument.
The mention of SSTO is my annual reminder to check on the Skylon project, using the SABRE air-breathing rocket engines.

A hydrogen-fueled engine which can transition between fully air-breathing (for runway takeoff) to pure rocket mode at high altitude. Has a pre-cooler in front of the compressor to improve operation at high Mach number (otherwise the air coming the inlet is too hot when going fast).

Recycling of plastic is only even possible for a really low percentage of the total produced, it's not a fungible thing since there are seven different grades and each one is incompatible with the other in terms of recycling. Some of those grades are not recyclable at all.

Currently we recycle 9% of plastics, sorting through the cheaper grades is non-trivial, we can't recycle our way out of this mess.

Burning plastic will just create more pollution, capturing outgassing from burning is also non-trivial.

We should instead use less plastic, the 3 Rs start with Reduce, then Re-use and only after that Recycle.

Most "news articles" on the company website over the past year were joint projects from spinoff technologies and corporate rewards, with the most exciting things being them raising 40 million last year.

In the meantime, I've noticed that another company "Hermeus" is building on similar concept engines to be used on their hypersonic planes, though currently they seem to be targeting modified versions of existing jet engines (changing the compressor while keeping combustion chamber intact), not a whole new model of jet engine.
This is exactly what we do with our toddler (tell her it’s hot, sharp, etc - mimic a painful reaction). It’s worked really well. She’s only two and will even tell us to “be careful papa, it’s hot” etc).

Kids are smart, if you treat them like little adults instead of little helpless goo goo ga ga babies - they will generally pick up on things. Which actually makes it easier on the parents.
Context. I assume you mean something like `void foo(size_t ...Idxs)`, which indeed doesn't work. It can't work, as nothing indicates that this would be a template, and it should be at least templated on the size of the pack.

<size_t ...Idxs> works because it introduces a pack that is a template parameter, so it naturally gets templated on the size of the pack (as well as on the values).

I guess an other historical issue for the grammar is that without the parameter name, `void foo(size_t ...)` is already valid grammar, and is equivalent to `void foo(size_t, ...)`, a C-style variadic.

> The appeal of single-use (plastic) containers lies in their convenience. Although they are undoubtedly more wasteful, their ease of use cannot be denied. People favor them for this convenience, with their wasteful nature being an unfortunate byproduct. If we refuse to acknowledge this fundamental truth, progress in environmentalism will never be done.

Yes, they are much more convenient in multiple ways (ease of transportation due to weight, flexible and malleable to take any shape or form, etc.) but there's no pricing of the externalities, if plastics would cost as much needed to take care of their disposal in environmentally friendly ways this convenience would have a much higher cost, naturally diminishing its uses.

While the side-effects of using plastics are not priced into the material it won't ever be solved.

It is a pity that there is no discussion if the detected amounts of extra 21 chromosome indicated a full Down syndrome or a mosaic version thereof.

In a mosaic version, only a part of your cells are trisomic, perhaps even just as little as 1/5th. In that case, the characteristic symptoms are often fewer and lighter, which would help that person survive in the Stone Age world.
> Speech to text is a solved problem, AFAIK with a caveat: single speaker. You'd need to train a local AI to identify all these different voices reliably. No easy feat.

I guess it might refer to the fact that 80% of the plastic produced ends up in landfills and it's not recycled, for different reasons, one of them is that recycling plastic is very expensive.

Also there are several different types of plastic that do not melt together, or do not melt at all, and can't be easily recycled or reused. It also degrades and becomes more toxic on every cycle and, unlike glass, health safety of recycled plastic cannot be guaranteed so to package food the only safe option is to make new plastic.
That's mostly a factor of lower childbirth rates. Put plain and simple: people used to have 3+ kids (or more, if you counted those who died before age 6), so if one or two died, got severely injured, turned mad, criminal or celibate-religious there would be still at least one or two other kids to inherit whatever wealth the family had (i.e. usually the farm or trade shop) and pass on the family name.

Nowadays middle-class people tend to have just one or two children, they literally cannot afford the space or childrearing costs for more - for lower classes eligible for government assistance such as the un(der)employed the situation does look different as society picks up large parts of the tab. Additionally, ever rising requirements in employment criteria make it necessary to invest more and more into their education: up until maybe 2-3 decades ago, even a school dropout could work in construction, a factory, retail, farm or mine and make a relatively decent living. But these jobs have largely gone away to China/India or to automation, so the few employment options for "undereducated" people are highly contested.

And so, the kid must turn out perfect: there is no room for the kid to make mistakes, especially not ones that endanger their career prospects, and hence all the helicopter parenting.

On top of all of that come decades of media/politician "fear brainwashings" (aka, the "pedo child-snatcher van" myth), as well as the legitimate collapse of a high-trust society (homeless, drunk and mentally ill people literally everywhere in major cities; police simply not enforcing laws any more).

Adding a compile step to SQL is more efficient than not adding a compile step to SQL. Whether it's workflow efficiency, simpler tooling, or actual runtime cost, a process that goes straight to SQL is necessarily more efficient than one that goes via something else and ends up with SQL.

That cost may be offset by other benefits, but that isn't obviously true in this case.

It depends a lot on the activity and the individual. I am almost 40, and I still won't use our bandsaw unsupervised. I don't think there is any age that I will trust myself with that because I am clumsy.

When my sister and I were growing up, we were given our independence in different areas at different ages: it was a matter of when we felt confident doing those things unsupervised and when we earned our parents' trust. As a general rule, I got to do responsibility-based tasks (like stay home alone, pick my own bedtime, and set my own homework schedule) at an earlier age than my sister, but she got to do physically risky tasks (like use knives, use the stove, and play high-risk sports) at an earlier age than me.

In all cases, it was a gradual process: they guided us, then they let us try while they watched, then they let us try while they were on hand if we called out for help, then they let us do it alone. Each step took as long as they (or we) felt was needed.

My parents are both highly anxious/cautious people, so I know it wasn't easy for them to give us these freedoms, but they understood intellectually that it was vital that we practice for adulthood well before we were suddenly on our own. They knew they only had a few short years to teach us how to survive independently of them.

It must have been a lot of work for them, but we were planned children (not accidents) and they put a lot of thought into how they wanted to raise us.

Another way to teach them about hot things is to have something that is uncomfortably hot but won't burn if you touch it for a few seconds*, warn them that it's hot and remove the fingers quickly but let them touch it anyway. They won't burn themselves but will understand what is hot and will understand when you tell them that it's hot.

The side effect of this, is that then they might be scared of things that are only slightly hot. But that's something easier and less risky to deal with IMO and they'll eventually understand that there's different levels.

*babies/toddlers have a skin that is a lot more sensitive, so this should be taken into consideration.
We tend to avoid using github repos, but go for published packages from the usual sites; Nuget, Pypi, Npm etc, using Repository and Firewall from Sonatype to act as a proxy between us and the package repos. All packages are analyzed and tagged with various metadata by Sonatype. Firewall lets us define policies for what we can use, and will filter out everything else.

This only works for published dependencies, but based on a couple years experience it works really well. No issues with malware (so far), we don't let packages with known vulns into our codebases and we are notified if a vuln is discovered in something we use.

Yes - in my teenage era, we had lots of configuration towards games lile Doom and Quake.

For me, a lot of my interest comes from Quake, from understanding the .pak files and QuakeC, etc.

I now have kids of my own, and I am not sure exactly what compares today. I think of things like Garrys Mod, or Minecraft, but it is mostly because I am out-of-touch with modern gaming.

In my spare time.. likely a hour a week, I play some Rocket League. :-)

On the same, I do enjoy making games. I dont use Unity or off-the-shelf products. I guess if any of my kids express more than modding (making a game) then it is an excuse to learn things like Unreal, Unity, Godot together.

(I knew a bit of Unreal back in the Unreal version 1 days... the late 90s) -- Sure things have changed since.

> they also have the huge waste issue

That goes without saying.

The point is plastic is not only cheaper but also better (in term of functionality) and that's a problem we need solving to actually get ordinary people on the wagon. Reflecting their environment impact into cost with tax etc. is cool, but that's not enough.

Eating out and food delivery being 2x or even sometimes 10x more expensive than making food yourself never stop (some) people to do that anyway because of its convenience factor.
