My favorite ring buffer structure is like the one described in https://www.gnuradio.org/blog/2017-01-05-buffers/

> It asks the operating system to give it memory-mappable memory, and map twice, “back to back”. Blocks then get called with pointers to the “earliest” position of a workload within this memory region – guaranteeing that they can access all memory they were offered in a linear fashion, as if they’d actually be dealing with hardware ring buffers.

It imposes limitations on hardware and OS support in a way, but I think it's pretty neat.

This also used by the kernel BPF ring buffer:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/bpf/ringbuf.html

> ...data area is mapped twice contiguously back-to-back in the virtual memory. This allows to not take any special measures for samples that have to wrap around at the end of the circular buffer data area, because the next page after the last data page would be first data page again, and thus the sample will still appear completely contiguous in virtual memory

I like the animation at the top, except that it's meaningless unless you know what the different parts represent. If you scroll down far enough, you will eventually find this:

Each circle is a task. The white progress circle around tasks is the time left to run until the task is blocked.
Purple box - The queue holding tasks ready to run.
Green box - The CPU.
Gray box - Tasks blocked on something (e.g. I/O).

It would be great to have that description right at the top with the first animation.

It is still a pricing competition. Sure Coke costs more, but they're also riding on their brand recognition to bump up their perceived value. No amount of brand loyalty would save them if they had to undergo the price jump that comes with a massive logistics change of switching off of plastic without a proven alternative.

It might cost a buck more per 6pack for Coke right now - but people aren't going to get it if it costs 2-3x more than Pepsi.
I've long thought that these notification mechanisms are bad for privacy&security, and that the platform vendors either didn't care enough, or wanted to exploit the information themselves.

> said an investigation had revealed that the Justice Department had prohibited Apple and Google from discussing the technique.

That could complicate having a discussion about the problem.

Also, guessing from the quote that, even if a platform vendor wanted to fix this privacy&security problem, they'd be asked or compelled not to.

(Side note: Occasionally, you see an epic bug report or support thread with lots of people incredulous about why something isn't being fixed, and the vendor is silent. I usually guess that the inaction and silence is due to corporate triage, misalignment, or dysfunction, and that no one has the guts/decency to respond to all the people. The quote above suggests that the true explanation for silence by the platform vendor on a particular bug/support ticket could actually be that the paranoid conspiracy theorists guessed correctly.)

The Foundation tv show shares nothing but the name with Asimov's books. That doesn't mean it's bad, but it's a strange "adaptation". They should have called it something else.

If they do this the same way, the name Neuromancer will just be there to get some brand recognition for an arbitrary new SF series.
I have a philosophy here. I read a book, and see it on another medium? Well, I pretend it's an account by another person who was there.

If 5 people are in a room during a big event, and you interview them, you will get 5 different accounts. Where they were looking when the event happened, what their allegiances are, who their friends are, their background, etc etc all results in a different takeaway.

So I'm OK with change. I can live with it.

Yet, Foundation IMO was well beyond this degree of change. And very very important things were left out, and could have been told.

For example, Asimov constantly described a broken culture of innovation. How many no longer even understood how the machines around them worked, and maintained them by rote. How scientists would merely read old books and papers, and debate that, instead of engaging in new research. This was a strong theme, and a massive reason for the Empire to fall, yet there were only hints of it in the TV series.

This could easily have been in the series, but I really don't think many people on staff even read all the books, and it shows.
I could be wrong, but seems only American and European (or just the Germans?) are aggressively pursuing L4+ while Asia (China/Japan/Korea) is focusing more on L2/3 for now?

> On Tuesday, health minister Cho Kyoo-hong issued this threat amid the ongoing protests by approximately 9,000 junior doctors, who have been absent from their hospitals for eight days. They are opposing the government’s proposal to increase the medical school entry quota by 2,000 seats next year.
(...)
South Korea has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios among major economies and recently the government proposed to add 2,000 slots to the current annual quota of 3,000 medical students.

So doctors stopped assisting patients to pressure the government into keeping an artificial scarcity that benefits them, and harms everybody else. That doesn't sound reasonable. They are forcing people to not work a job they would have desire to work otherwise, by colluding to artificially limit the number of students.
People have correctly been saying it for 10 years now, it's time people start listening.
It depends. Let's test this.

Presume 80% of the country wants to increase taxes for the rich and corporations, tax churches, have Universal Healthcare and a Universal Basic Income, reform your educational system, legalise abortion, make sexual education mandatory, legalise dreamers, have easier immigration and they all vote for a party who has detailed plans on how to finance and realise those ideals.

How do you react?
I understand your sentiment. I just don't think that thinking that we in Europe have it a lot better than the US simply because we did not yet get a person with Trump's BSing skills is very prudent, given that the directions that our systems are headed to seem to be very similar.

A politician with Trump's Reality Distortion Field is bound to arrive in Europe within the next decade or so, at which point it will be the same thing.
Perhaps a small nit, but the “design space tree” looks more like a directed graph.
same here when I first got Starlink - I was paying more for a 3MB DSL line from Verizon, and for less money I got roughly 100X the speed from Starlink - I would have paid 10X as much for this if I needed to - a real game changer for folks that aren't served by better options (i.e. FTTH)

This is kind of wishful thinking based on the idea that humans are much better. I've used it on law and health and ok it's not as reliable as a good professional but it will answer fairly well in a second or so whereas the professionals will be busy for a month, bill hundreds and you may still get incompetence. I'm also waiting two months for human solicitors to do a standard loan agreement, £2k in fees so far and no loan agreement yet. They are crying out to be replaced by AI as soon as it's a little better.

Only if you do it wrong.. It's quite simple to mandate a special character which indicates that "something's happening here", for example you could have
y = a #+ b with + being a function operating on matrixes, the # indicating that this is a function called not the regular operator.

This. Spanish it's almost dumb simple, widely spoken; and Iberian Spanish has few exceptions (the c/z/s spelling split avoid spawning a nazi grammar every two paragraphs as it happens in South American Spanish), and yet, he chose... Indonesian.

At Iberia, Spanish was almost the lingua franca between the Occitan branch speakers, the Galician-Portuguese speakers and the Leonese/Asturian ones in the Middle Ages and beyond. It had five vowels compared to the seven ones from the Catalan/Valencian or the 7-8 (if not more) of the Galician-Portuguese. And it got loanwords from all the Iberian romances overtime (and a bit later French and Italian).

Ted Lasso has such a tonal shift across its seasons that it's definitely going to alienate a lot of people somewhere. The first season is a comedy with some poignant moments. The second is a comedic, yet poignant, drama. I've been told the third is a poignant drama with some comedy. As you can guess, they lost me after the second season, which I only finished due to momentum.

Reading this thread, it's interesting how divisive Apple's streaming lineup is. Sure, that's par for the course with any media, but opinions seem even more varied with Apple's.
As a slow thinker, I think many are missing a really important point, which I was hoping would come up. Sigh.

Preparedness is not the solution for many unique and many times life changing situations, where we do not have time to think, but have to make decision very quickly. And I have always failed at that, and created misunderstandings, pain.

And having ADHD, slow processing brain, and some hearing loss, I have not seen any solution that would help me.
It's also often house vs. apartment. There's absolutely friction associated with moving from a house with its contents to another house than there is to moving from, say, a 1000 sq. ft. apartment to another. It's still a move but it's much less of an undertaking and, as a renter, you also tend to have a mindset that you will be moving.
The empire parts are done well, and a nice solution to not having the same characters around when the time jumps. The production and design is good (at least for space/empire parts).

But then they also made other characters move through time so that... because they are special, and only they can save the plan!

It _entirely_ inverts (at least what I remember being) the entire point of the book, that individuals aren't uniquely special. It makes "The plan" look like a plan that needed to be actively managed by the uniquely special people involved - the same people, because they travel through time actively managing it - rather than an actual inevitable projection of history.

This then completely undercuts anything special about the Mule because, oops, we already gave people superpowers, so now it's just a generic action badass dude we have to fight.

At this point you aren't adapting foundation, you are fan-fictioning it. I guess attaching the name gets you money though.
With default settings KDE is very familiar for people coming from Windows (well Windows 10 at least), and runs well for me without any serious errors. The biggest issue for Linux desktop use seems to be outside of the control of KDE/Gnome/Other DE now, which is rock solid support for all the flavours of consumer hardware out there.

MacOS has a fixed hardware target obviously, Microsoft has all the hardware manufactures testing their drivers. The Linux ecosystem simply can't provide the same level of quality. I'm still waiting for hibernate to work on my laptop (using Fedora so I'm getting new kernel versions).
About recordings being stored -- there is literally no way of knowing if that's happening or not. But in my view, it's not a relevant point anyway. The important data about the recordings is being stored (otherwise why make the recordings?).

> And yet people use ClickHouse quite effectively for this very problem

There is no doubt that ClickHouse is a super-fast database. No one stops you from using it for this very problem. My point is that specialized time series databases will outperform ClickHouse.

> There are also time-series databases out there that are OK with high cardinality

So does this blog say that tolerance to cardinality means that QuestDB indexes only one of the columns in the data generated by this benchmark?

TSDBs like Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics or InfluxDB will perform filtering by any of the labels with equal speed, because this is how their index works. Their users don't need to think about the schema or about which column should be present in the filter.

But in ClickHouse and, apparently, in QuestDB, you need to specify a column or list of columns for indexing (the fewer columns, the better). If the user's query doesn't contain the indexed column in the filter - the query performance will be poor (full scan).

See like this happened in another benchmarketing blogpost from QuestDB - https://telegra.ph/No-QuestDB-is-not-Faster-than-ClickHouse-...
Push notifications is a core ability of the OS that cannot be turned off. If none of your apps have notifications enabled they will still get push notifications but just not raise an alert (kinda like what happens in Do Not Disturb mode). To completely disable notifications you would need to edit the mobile operating system to remove the code that establishes and maintains a connection with the Apple Push Notification System (APNS) or the Google equivalent. This is exactly what Graphene OS does: the Google push notification code was removed from the Android open source code base. Result: no push notifications and longer battery life (because there's not a process constantly staying in touch with a notification server).

By these definitions, almost everything is Level 4.

Level 1 is basically no preparation (fruits/veg, etc) or some form of minimal processing that involves no addition of any ingredients, including salt!

Level 2 is literally only processed byproducts like salt, butter, oil, etc.

Level 3 is anything that involves preserving something from level 1, including adding salt, canning, cheeses with salt, etc. Bread, as long as it is freshly prepared falls under this too I guess.

Level 4 is... everything else? By this categorization, most things would be considered ultra-processed, including preparations you make at home that are using non-level 4 foods by my reading.

no worries, I have worked as a product manager for a few products that "the real world" seems to care about, and I fully understand your sentiment. that's even why I've dedicated the last segment of the post to basically "who cares?" (I suspect some "real people" might since they can get everything in one place instead of having to follow people in 6 different places, but not sure how strong of an incentive that is).

also having had the privilege of observing a few products that have found "real world" usage, I actually believe that "nerdy passion" is key, though of course without considering USABILITY and CONVENIENCE (as you've put it), it wouldn't get far.
I get where you are coming from, but any ideas you have today will evolve into even better ideas over time as you implement them for your employer, so you don't need to hold back on them. What you might want to hold back is that next generation of ideas. In a few years, when you realize a new set of ideas that put your old ones to shame, it is time to decide whether to keep going with your employer or go out and do them on your own.
People who need housing are harmed. Stronger controls around housing investment is the problem. People will say "build more" but aren't mindful that we're 15-20 years behind building housing, and it'll take years, if not a decade, to catch back up to make housing affordable through increasing supply. Capital can always move faster than the physical world, hence the need for capital controls.

You can look at the whole rest of the page I linked to for ways in which Esperanto is irregular and parochial.

For example:

http://jbr.me.uk/ranto/v.html

There's a whole word class (words ending in AŬ) which is essentially a "Wastebasket Taxon" for his vocabulary: There is no regularity to what ended up there, merely arbitrary choice. That's acceptable in a natural language, but Esperanto is Modern and Scientific and Regular As Oat Bran, right?

> In China, for example, Esperanto was used to introduce western languages.
