Saying "I wrote in my book that..." is basically the same value, in the absence of further information. We don't know how qualified the author is to make such claims, what the motive behind writing the book was, what sources they used, and so on. Even if you read the book, you might not satisfactorily find that information, or sources may themselves be misrepresented. Anyone can write and publish a book these days, making any claim, misinterpreting data, wilfully or otherwise.

If the person you replied to wrote their anecdote about their nephew in a book, would you find it credible then?
I hope you're being sarcastic. Bailing out companies that fail to do the right thing only encourages that behavior. The opposite should happen, the government should take them to task possibly leading to them going out of business.

Germany's energy production is below 1970s levels and their per capita figures are in a grim state [0]. As with much of Europe, it makes for worrying reading. It would be extremely impressive if they can remain a manufacturing leader through this. If there is less energy, someone will have to use less energy. As far as I can tell that means either compromising living standards or giving up some heavy manufacturing. I'm assuming that this is an expression of that dynamic unless it is proven otherwise.

German politicians should have taken their energy security more seriously back in the 2010s. My main hope is maybe the rest of us can learn from these energy starved European powers and do things differently.

Are you worried about swap in the guest os? You can configure the swapiness of the OS, if you set it to 10 or something it will only swap when you're out of memory or when an application explicit says it wants swap memory (pretty rare). That can preserve your SSD and prevent your hard crashes.
You also have to consider how much it costs to actually comply. The board would probably much rather Apple comply and keeps selling iPhones and services in the EU vs not getting ANY profits at all from their currently second largest region in the world.

There are plenty of language ecosystems where there's no particular expectations up front about whether or when a library will do IO.

The implication here is that this stands out because others haven't been fined. I'm not up to date enough on UK privacy violations to be able to tell whether that is the case.

Charities have to obey privacy law the same as anybody else regardless of what they stand for. It seems the fines were perfectly justified and I see no problem with that.

That said, pretending there is not a deliberate "culture war" around the existence of trans people in the UK is either dishonest or ignorant. UK politics, politicians and media have been extremely hostile towards trans people in recent years even relative to the general attitude of the general population in the UK. The level of artificial moral panic surrounding trans people in UK politics and media is surprising even by American standards. There are a number of astroturfed anti-trans groups present in English-speaking media but the most effective ones are all UK-centric.

The fines, however, seem to be orthogonal to that.

So it seems that the biggest issue was having a single Io interface forcing overhead on both green and native threads and forcing runtime dispatching.

It seems to me that the best would have been to have the two libraries evolve separately and capture the common subset in a trait (possibly using dynamic impl when type erasure is tolerable), so that you can write generic code that can work with both or specialized code to take advantage of specific features.

As it stand now, sync and async are effectively separated anyway and it is currently impossible to write generic code that hande both.
For better or worse, the commercial side is what matters.

If an F-15 has a wing disintegrate in flight, we might hear a blurb about it on the news and maybe a pilot and a few people on the ground die. Tragic, but it's not a blow to the confidence in air travel. If something happens with a 737, there's hundreds of deaths, the public won't get on that plane, the FAA and NTSB release extensive reports, and the backlog for aircraft gets even longer for airlines.

Another company sucked dry by business school vampires.
Honestly I think the best thing here would be to subsidize the regulation for getting new planes approved as a long term debt to the government.

Government helps ease the cost and increases the speed of confirming new plane designs, in exchange for a long term commitment by the company to provide planes for various US subsidized air routes.
But you’re not comparing the same products, for example how much more should one pay to have a product not produced with slave labour?

On a related note - it's a common concern among performance-oriented programmers that OOP, pointer-chasing, polymorphism, etc... are not adapted to modern CPU, and cause terrible performances.

Has there ever been "OOP-machines" developed that would optimize / work around those problems, similar to (as I understand it) what "LISP-machines" were trying to do for LISP ?
As I understand it, there’s a difference between dynamic scope and implicit parameters. Implicit parameters don’t escape the lexically defined call stack, making it much easier to reason about.

The idea is also to tie it together with a static compiler that checks everything fits together.
> Your comment doesn’t make any sense because how would the absence of an infection ever arrive at a debilitating outcome and thus be a point of comparison?

Considering the fact that they were an aggressive, conquering empire that committed institutional mass murder, yes, they’re roughly equivalent to the Nazis. Why wouldn’t they be?

> I'm not ready to conflate language with the practice of a culture or the self determination of a people.

It demonstrates that the culture wasn’t completely eradicated, just like the cultures of Germany and Japan weren’t completely eradicated. And I think you’re kidding yourself if you actually think either of those countries had real self-determination after the war.

Besides, what makes you think self-determination is so important? That’s just your cultural value that you’re trying to impose! That’s the deeper point I was making that you’ve completely glossed over.

> I don't know what you're saying here.

Food, clothing, popular sports, etc. are all aspects of culture, and many of them are becoming globally homogenized, which represents the eradication of culture. Whatever clothing high status Chinese or Japanese or African men wore in previous centuries has all but disappeared in favor of Western suits, for instance. If anything this completely superficial and harmless piece of culture has replaced other cultural expressions far more successfully than the explicit values that the West has been explicitly trying to propagate, like “human rights” or “feminism”.

> You might not believe pacifist countries are "truly" pacifist by your definition, but the rhetoric of pacifism is part of mainstream politics in many parts of the world.

When push comes to shove, almost nobody actually believes it. The rhetoric is just rhetoric that’s usually contingent on how a specific conflict is perceived. Most of those who opposed the war in Iraq now support the war in Ukraine for instance.

When all they need to do for compliance is to enable EU users to install apps without Apple as a middle-man then not much in the way of "personell/talents/headcount to handle all that crap" is actually necessary. What's costing them resources (and eventually money in the form of fines) is not complying.

The truth is that EU is not good at promoting competition. They’re good at preventing innovation. They’re good at protectionist policies.

> my best "Windows + WSL2" experience comes from Linux + a Windows VM

tbf; your problem is you're running a buggy app that wants more hardware than you have and handles it poorly. I spend 90% of my day at a unix prompt; but you'd likely see similar HostOS stability irmprovement going Windows -> Windows VM` as you did `Linux -> Windows VM`.

A few comments:
1) Ignore NVME wear; the drive controllers are smart enough nowadays to wear level; it will likely die sooner, but still outlive any machine you'll probably want to keep it in.
3) Buy the Ram. Whatever your motherboard fits, max it out.

tldr; Your time is more valuable than dealing with pain to try and min/max your hardware life cycle (and honestly, your wallet). The time you lost switching Base OS is likely worth more than the cost of a ram upgrade; not counting that you're still dealing with (30%?%??!) crashes over it. Value yourself and your time.

A very common pattern is something like a link to a github page where the readme describes the thing generally and a short (can really be down to a sentence or so) Show HN description that's addressed to HN readers, something like 'I've was interested in/wanted to build/etc X, and made this over the last few weeks'. It does enough to set expectations, describe the motivation and tell everyone you're around to respond to feedback. But there's really not much reason to think about this too much, just go ahead and post your thing with whatever description (or none) you want.

Malthus was wrong on a ton of things, but his theory of population growth in pre-industrial cities effectively holds to the data (even according to economic historians).

Cities were effectively constrained by available food and transportation costs before the steam engine, so you'd get cycles of population growth, followed by population decline.

Particular places reached support capacity of surrounding land until something caused systemic failure, and population decline. Think of ancient China, for example with its cyclic population growth in a unified empire, followed by some natural catastrophe or political instability -> civil war as the political system weakened.
I generally agree that cities and apartments aren't great places for dogs.

But a lot of dogs are rescues, and a lot of breeds are quite happy in apartments.

There are also a lot of mitigations possible. There are dog walkers and dog sitters who come by and walk the dogs during the daytime. You can have multiple dogs that keep each other company. Etc.

all day barking and bored to death with almost no
stimulation

Respectfully, it seems like you don't know a lot about dogs?

A barking dog isn't necessarily distressed. In fact, they're probably not distressed: there are a lot of other ways that dogs show that.

They also like to sleep during the daytime. They sleep a lot in general. They are pretty adaptable to our schedules.

While I generally don't think we should be breeding dogs at all, the reality is that there are a lot of dogs who need homes (as well as homes who need dogs!) and in the majority of situations I think that getting dogs into homes with a loving family is preferable to euthanizing them.

Sometimes API calls make 5-10 queries to the database. So it's 600ms to setup TLS and make a call at the origin server and the number of db calls is irrelevant.
Or a quick TLS connection to the edge and 1000-2000ms to fulfill because of db distance.

Maybe you can do some of the calls in parallel, but sometimes not. Session lookup plus another query after permissions are established and your edge latency savings are almost entirely gone.

Follow-up API calls will always be worse because TLS is a one time issue and db distance will continuously bite you call after call after call.

Then there's a cold start where the edge function has to link up with the database and do it's own TLS or equivalent.

Edge functions have a lot of issues you have to worry about that increase system complexity to solve.
