You can implement your B-tree as an array if that's what you like. The advantage of the B-tree-like-layouts is that you need fewer indirections. With binary search you do one node jump per comparison. With a B-tree you do one jump per N comparisons.

Of course, the detail is in trying it out, intuition does not always capture hardware behavior. I remember looking at this many years ago and B-trees were considerably faster. The code was far from being optimal though. Maybe if one pulls all tricks in the book the additional complexity of managing multiple comparisons will outweigh saving from reducing loads.
I'm interested to hear more. What kind of companies pay for this? Hardware companies like Intel and Nvidia? What are the roles called?

> Rendering decorations server-side is a really bad idea.

Why?
In my experience this happens more to people working part time than full time employees. With full time employees every day can be more or less the same, with 8 hours per day. Part time employees who have the friday afternoon off, still tend to work more than the 4 hours alotted for that day - and then unpaid of course. Also, people tend to pressure themselves too much, things can truly often wait until the monday.
What did your final Nix and Docker file look like, and did you have to use `buildFHSEnv` at all to support the odd 3rd party binaries?

I think Nix really needs some articles outlining how to play well and smoothly transition from an existing system piece by piece.
Money quote:

> The Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday that a flight attendant serving a meal in the cockpit hit a switch on the back of a seat that pushed the pilot into controls on the 787, pushing down the nose of the plane. The newspaper cited anonymous U.S. industry officials who were briefed on preliminary findings from the investigation.

This sounds a lot like a design issue. If the button is on the back of the seat it is probably not meant to be operated with a pilot in the seat, yet it could be (accidentally) operated with a pilot in the seat.

We don't know the details, but any switch pointing to areas people move in should have a switch guard on especially when pressing it can lead to 50 hurt people. But in this case I'd propose the switch should either be at a totally different position or not activate if there is someone in the seat.
Only in f it's exclusively for GC.

If it's opportunistic GC, then it's simply running when nothing else is.

IOW, we may need the sleep for a different reason, and that is when the load is low enough to allow the GC to run.

Assume that we can trigger this while awake. This doesn't mean that we don't need to sleep for some other reason.
That would not compile because the append operation can fail, and errors cannot be ignored.
I think something got lost along the way. Nix does not replace maven, you call maven from nix.

https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs/languages-frameworks/maven/

nix is a build tool a similae way that docker is a build tool. You define build scripts that call the tools you already use. The major difference is that a docker file gives you no way tl be sure you can reproduce that build in the future. A flake on the other hand gives you a high degree of trust.

"only", when 99% of the people are perfectly well served with the featureset of yesterdecade's LibreOffice suite, the three problems being the network effect (if everyone else is on another "network" or standard, you're forced to as well), that it looks like 2002, and that they have to spend 10 minutes on the first day to figure out that some buttons are in different places (I'm lost in Office nowadays, it really is just a matter of habit and not that either of them has an inferior layout). With the only functional defect being "it looks old", a modern style is what you pay 150€ every year for when buying into the Office monopoly. Except as a student: they're happy to help you gain the habit and experience the network effect.

I guess this is why Google Docs has been the first to make a dent: you seamlessly download the software to render the file format upon pageload, so there's no network effect on file formats anymore. Add a modern look, reach into your pockets to make it free until you've established a good market share, advertise for it in your already popular products (costing them nothing), et voila

> I still don't understand what it does better than Docker

It doesn't break as you scale. If you don't need that, then keep using Docker. (Personally, for me "scale" starts at "3 PC's in the home", so I eventually switched all of them to NixOS. I don't have time to babysit these computers.)

> Docker build are deterministic and easily reproductible

No, they definitely aren't. You don't really want to go down this rabbit hole, because at the end you realize Nix is still the simplest and most mature solution.
25 years ago, in Florida, my wife, our new baby, and I were all sleeping soundly upstairs, when at about 2 AM the phone rang.

"Hello?" I ask groggily.

"This is the police," the voice says. "Do you know who's driving your car?"

I look out the window at the parking lot below. "It's... gone," I say. "I... have no idea."

They send an officer to take a report. I do remember someone who had come to the door a couple weeks earlier. I hadn't let him in, but from the porch he had been able to see that I kept my car keys hanging on a hook by the front door.

That night, he had manipulated the back sliding door into opening, crossed through the apartment, and retrieved the keys from where they hung near the front. All downstairs.

After a high-speed chase, which ended at his girlfriend's house, the police caught him hiding under the bed with the keys in his pocket.

Anyway, that's my personal anecdote. I don't propose that anyone confuse it with data or use it to decide policy. But I still sometimes thank the stars that I and my new family slept peacefully that night.

Donating billions is not impressive at all, particularly after one's death. A billionaire can donate 99.99% of his wealth and have zero measurable impact on his standard of living, whereas a poor person donating 10% could be the difference between whether he can feed his children or not. Formation of the Getty Foundation was not charity, nor an act of kindness, nor even as you put it "a nice gesture". It was buying a name for himself in perpetuity. Lionizing the wealthy for their philanthropy post mortem is a little gross of you.

This man refused to pay the ransom on his grandchild's kidnapping, with tragic results, not because it was against principle to pay ransoms, but because he was too cheap. He ultimately allowed his son to pay, but only loaned him the ransom money at interest.

Furthermore he is not offering 100K images. His foundation directors have done so long after his death.

This man was a moustache-twirling caricature of supervillain-level miserly evil. He could have given 100 times the amount he did to his foundation and still would be deserving of derision.
Or A Very Large Quadcopter, because they already know a thing or two about making large rotating airfoils with a hub full of neodynium and coils?

> From here on out, all font sizes remain proportional no matter what, even if a user changes their preferred root font size in browser settings.

I think you might have misunderstood my point. My point is not that font size is no longer proportional. It’s actually critical to my point that it is proportional.

The 62.5% trick became popular because designers were used to designing with pixels and didn’t want to design with more fluid units like em. They were forced to by external requirements or often they were just following trends without really understanding them. So they used ems with the 62.5% trick as a substitute for pixels but didn’t change how they designed. So they were still designing with pixels in theory, but using ems as a really bad placeholder.

So if they wanted something to be 100px wide, using the 62.5% trick, they would set it to 10em. This will not get them something that is 100px wide though. This will get them something that is 10em wide, which will happen to be rendered 100px wide only when the browser is using a 16px default font size.

What happens when that fake-100px-but-actually-10em wide element is meant to coexist with something that is actually set in pixels? For instance, a 120px skyscraper ad? The things sized in fake-pixels-but-actually-ems will change proportionally with the user’s font size, but the things sized in real pixels will not. All of a sudden different elements on the page have different ideas about what scale they should be rendered at, and the layout falls apart.

Were you surfing the web with a non-default font size when this particular practice took off? I was, and I could always tell when a site started to use it because their layouts all got screwed up.

If you want to design in pixels, design in pixels. If you want to design in ems, design in ems. But don’t use ems as fake pixels because it cannot work reliably. The two units are fundamentally different and you cannot convert between them. One is rooted in a subjective user preference that can be different on every device, one is an objective measurement.

If you argue for sovereign rights, they should have their own separate countries, so they have to deal with any imbalances or environmental issues they create themselves.

That's been in use for thousands of years already: yoga, pranayama and meditation.

There are courses one can take where one learns this, like Art of Living and any other that follows the same traditions.

Yes, there's research on that, and new studies should absolutely gain from this study. Not entirely sure you'll observe the same effect, that depends on meditator, but you can fall asleep during practice.

I have over a decade experience with it, and have also participated on a study on breathing exercises and epigenetic effects from that versus blind control.

Came here to say exactly this. That financial crisis ruined countless lives. The dominos fell all around the world. Across the Atlantic in Ireland I knew of several suicides. Most of my friends were at the age where they had paired off, and got onto the property ladder with tiny, overpriced "starter homes". Why? For one, to get out of the rent trap. But mainly because they wanted to start a family. Most of my college buddies ended up sentenced to 15+ years of negative equity. People blamed them for making unsound investments, but they had already delayed having kids well into their late 30s, and had no choice. I know families with several teenage kids who never recovered financially. The big banks repackaged bullshit subprime mortgages into CDOs that the ratings agencies gave AAA+ ratings to.

Frankly, I think that the perpetrators didn't go to jail for the same reason that a huge number of Nazis avoided consequences after WWII: there were simply too many people complicit in it, but no chief architect. There was a simple choice: prosecute them all and lose the whole banking sector, or bail them out. So the government decided that the taxpayer would bail them out. The same tax players who lost homes and livelihoods. And they weren't just bailed out financially, the slate was scrubbed clean.

What Bankman Fried did was nothing in comparison. I believe should go to jail, but 50 years? That's probably more than first degree murder in most states.

It’s more the case that the world is big and communication used to be slow. So regional variations would develop. Sometimes becoming their own language, given enough time.

It’s easy to forget how hard it is to standardise a large populous given everything these days can be shared at near-to-light-speed but even today you have regional slang. Terms that might be common in the north of a country but alien to southerners.

So I find it entirely believable that there were multiple “standards” for Roman numerals that spanned different regions and periods of time.

Acting high-status? It’s 50/50.

50% it works. Falls under “Fake it ‘till you make it”, which is actually a guarantee, not just a cynical lament.

50% it absolutely doesn’t work. Humans are exceedincly perceptive of the state of each other. We sense a lot more than we’re conscious of. We’re especially attuned to fear. Fear takes delicate and abstract forms in emotional processing and in our little tells and reveals. Acting as high-status from a status perceived as low is fundamentally anxious, low-status and dissonant.

However!, becoming aware of the high/low status construction and becoming free from it while staying emotionally connected and secure… is high-status.

Ah, something occurs to me now: One thing is that we often inherit or pick up various signaling behaviors we simply aren’t aware of and may be low-status. Say, family mannerisms. It’s sometimes good to see these and park them as appropriate. (This can actually reduce disssonance.)

It’s good to play with this.

And. Play can be high-status.

Edit: Hah, one more:

A reason behind the fact that acting high-status can bring high status is that we are avid social learners and imitators. If you practice high-status you get good at it and it’s possible to learn from you which confers high status, so…

> The blades are big but not colossal: by compare, the offshore Vestas V164 10MW turbine has 160m blades (weighting 35t); this is being designed for ~100m.

That's the part I really struggle with: I could easily imagine value in taking a new approach to blade transport as radical as this if it allowed on-shore installations to get on par with off-shore rotor sizes. But if the result is the same as what's already established, just achieved in a different way, it feels like a microoptimization hardly worth the engineering.
