I love the Tiger through Snow Leopard era of Mac OS X, and I feel I could be productive on a G4, G5, or early Intel Mac for lightweight computing tasks, though I’d need to use another device for web browsing and for handling modern file formats.

I think one of the major challenges of using modern software on early versions of Mac OS X (and even on current macOS releases) is the fact that Linux has become the de-facto standard Unix-like operating system, and modern Linux with systemd, Wayland, dbus, and other technologies have deviated greatly from POSIX and other classical Unix technologies. Granted, the world has moved on since the last POSIX revision, and commercial Unix (e.g., Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc.) is not as commonplace compared to 20 years ago. Still, this has impacted the BSDs; their development communities are more conservative and some people have strong feelings about technologies like systemd and Wayland, but since Linux has a higher marketshare and an increasing amount of software is written for it without regard for the BSDs and other systems, then Linux has become the standard and the BSDs have to deal with a fragmented software base that once cared about portability among *nix systems.

I wonder, though, how difficult would it be to replace older versions of Darwin (the open-source BSD and Mach layers of macOS) with updated code while ensuring the proprietary layers running on top of Darwin still work? This might be a good approach for helping older macOS versions run newer software, as well as adding compatibility layers to deal with Linuxisms. I remember reading about experiments updating the kernels of NeXTstep and Rhapsody in a similar fashion.
This is clearly a simple proxy that can scale horizontally. That should get you the task completed. The SO_REUSEPORT/epoll/io_uring stuff is definitely a point of research (and for TCP too, not just UDP), but it's doable (here it helps if the senior eng. applicant can read Linux kernel code and is resourceful). If you're going to be exceeding a 10GB NIC's bandwidth you'll have to talk about using multiple IPs, DNS tricks, client smarts, etc. And all of this assumes that the HTTP backend can go at least as fast as the UDP proxy, which... is a big assumption, because it's much harder to get an application to perform as fast as a proxy, and TFA is already asking a lot of a proxy.
Well that's a lame video.

I see so many videos of (predominantly USA) carpenters using table saws without even the bare minimum of safety features (even just a riving knife, for example). Is there no way to just enforce basic low-cost low-effort safety features rather than just jumping all the way to a very costly commercial saw-stop-like solution?
The federal government's responsibilities is literally to collect taxes to maintain a standing army, and to coordinate cross-state issues that the states themselves for some reason aren't able to regulate themselves. That's what its scope is supposed to be. Are states not able to pass the table saw regulations they feel is appropriate for their citizens? I feel like they are. Why does the federal government need to step in and mandate .. table saw laws for our states? For me it's just another small step in the long line of steps towards having one overarching federal government that controls everything, like other countries have, which the US is not supposed to have.

I think the reason is rather simple. Funding.

I feel this is one of the two basic tricks that many many papers do to preemptively justify their existence. The other being the shoehorning of the hotbutton issue of the day and imagining some way the study addresses that issue.

It was kind of weird watching the transition from when every second paper could obliquely assist in the fight against AIDS to now when they seem to assist in the fight against climate change.

I feel like it is a minor dishonesty committed to combat the unreasonable requirement for every scientific discovery to be immediately applicable.

I do think using a modern SDK would streamline the experience without compromising on the authenticity, it might be a good idea to at least mention this option since the original Sony SDK is technically leaked tooling.

It's certainly an interesting problem to examine... my understanding was always that patents were designed to foster innovation by giving an inventor a way to make money on their IP so long as they gave the idea to the world. Somewhere along the way that got weaponized. So is the solution that we need to reform patents, or do we need some other way to both allow innovators to make money but in a way that doesn't exploit other parties trying to expand the footprint of a good idea? It's complicated.
As a buyer, it's definitely nice to have more data on this. Pricing can be very opaque and sometimes I just want to know the ballpark to know if it's even worth exploring. Annoying to spend 30 minutes on a call to get that when you could have it in 2 seconds.

As an operator, I know a lot of SaaS agreements include language saying the customer will protect the vendor's confidential data including information about pricing. I doubt it's legal in the majority of the time for buyers to share this data. And if the buyer is sharing confidential data with you, you're likely taking on risk by sharing it publicly, even in aggregate form.

You could add something saying that the buyer agrees that they have the legal rights to share the information with you, to protect yourself. But at some point you should know that the majority of the time, even if that box is checked, they don't.

According to a recent Stumpy Nubs video, Saw Stop isn't the villain they've been made out to be (or at least has changed their tune substantially).

PSn00bSDK maintainer here. Unfortunately the project cannot really be considered clean room; the original versions of most libraries contained code that was either lifted straight from Psy-Q disassemblies or heavily inspired by them. I have since rewritten pretty much all of it (with the exception of the GTE library which still has some Sony code) using only Psy-Q API documentation as a reference, but the "ship of Theseus" nature of the rewrite makes it hard to argue that it is a clean and legally safe project.

On the flip side, there are plenty of other open source PS1 SDK options that have been written from scratch, do not reimplement the same API as Psy-Q and can thus be considered clean for the most part. Here's a few of them:

Cowen Argues with Haidt
> You're not point out a lie, you're pointing out that there's no direct conversion between dollars and happiness.

Choosing to re-define a word (like 'dollar') to mean something other than its actual meaning is perfectly fine, so long as you take care to inform the reader whenever you employ your nonstandard definition.

If you do not take care to make this distinction, then you are putting a false idea in another person's mind, which is, by definition, deception.

If you intentionally use your bespoke definition of 'dollar' to communicate about pain and suffering, refusing to define it (as the author of the paper did in the summary), while knowing full well that the reader will assume you mean actual dollars, then you are lying.

> For many people with serious injuries, and especially disfiguring or life-altering injuries, the hospital bill is an afterthought in terms of impact.

That's a noble goal. Yet the only clear and honest way to communicate human suffering is in human terms, not in dollars and cents. Laundering that suffering into "per-unit economic benefits" adds zero clarity to the issue of suffering. It adds zero urgency. All it adds is a likelihood of misunderstanding, which is clearly the point.

This silly debate comes up everywhere these days as railing against the current western economic system has come in vogue on the web. But it's not enough to complain, I can fill bookshelves with Reddit comments that do that, we need to imagine solutions!

A sibling comment pointed out Mondragon which uses the ParEcon form of economic management which is an actual answer to the question. I'd love to see other answers.

> An example of something that for sure saves lives and lowers public costs is mandating adults wear helms on bicycles.

That's potentially a bad example. The largest cause of mortality (or lost quality-adjusted life years - QALY) is from cardiovascular events, and those events are inversely correlated to physical activity levels. Cycling is physical activity, and helmet laws, where passed, have typically coincided with a marked decrease in cycling.

Under some reasonable assumptions, helmet laws cause less cycling, which causes less physical activity in the population, which causes more cardiovascular events, and the overall negative QALY impact outweighs the relatively small positive impact from fewer head injuries (especially compared to government pro-helmet safety messaging that has been optimised to minimise cycling deterrence while increasing helmet uptake as an alternative policy).
In the US that bill is typically paid for by insurance, which means that, even if your neighbor needs the ambulance, you're paying for it in the awkwardly socialized form of raised premiums or perhaps even more awkwardly removed: lower direct compensation due to employer provided health care comprising a larger share of your total comp.

The vertical component is about efficiency. It's very hard to get past a certain point with a general purpose OS and Golang. You'll need NCPU threads/processes and no context switching, so you're definitely talking about:

- unikernel or user-land NIC driver and
network stack

- async/await or continuation passing
style to reduce the per-client/request
memory footprint

I'm not applying though, but I'm saying that "Golang + super-efficient" is definitely not something I'd assign as an interview weekend project -- that's something to be discussed in detail during the interview, and I'd expect no more than a horizontally scalable solution over a weekend. Getting the vertical efficiency tuning done will take a lot of time and cannot be expected to be a weekend or week project by an unpaid applicant, but you can expect the applicant to tell you how they'd go about it.
Safe work practices require humans to follow through on using them. Safety features don't.
To be clear, this is actually a historical interview question that we've used successfully in the past.

We're no longer hiring for this specific role, but I figured writing a blog post to share the solution to help people who for one reason or another, find themselves needing to implement a highly scalable UDP backend, they would now hit this article and at least have some pointers about SO_REUSEPORT and so on as well as increasing socket send and receive buffer sizes, ulimits and so on.

btw. This question actually comes out of a core part of the Network Next backend, which was problematic for us and a thorn in our ass in various ways over a period of 5 years. It took us an extremely long time as engineers not familiar with everything needed to solve this question, to correctly solve it and scale up past 25M+ clients. As such it feels like information worth sharing, after all is said and done.
> There's never an actual reason you need to put your fingers anywhere close to a moving blade.

But that's how it is: people do cut their fingers off on table saws. They all know what you said. And yet 30 K accidents per year in the US alone. It is a serious problem.

I never bought one because it's just too big of a risk.
It is not that simple. Replacing a saw is a loss to the business owner, while an employee losing a finger by his own fault costs nothing to the company.

I should check this - I still have some SD cards which I used with my T3 (I had two Tungsten T3 PDAs actually). But I think they were simply FAT-accessed, i.e. different from the internal storage. I'm unable to verify that at the moment.
It's correct that there was an entry in the system menu or some such to look at the card. Again I can't check this - battery is out on both my T3 devices, and charging got more and more tricky over the years (the Palm socket was a very weak point)
IMHO this podcast is way too biased in favor of nuclear, and exemplifies the entire problem with the nuclear industry: too much magical thinking and not enough hard retrospective self-criticism.

Are we going to be able to construct nuclear in the future? Probably? Maybe? But if folks like this are in charge of the efforts, then my answer is a firm "never."

Take for example when Jigar Shah went on their podcast. Shah is a huuuge nuclear fan, and IMHO is way too optimistic too (for example the DoE's LPO Liftoff report on nuclear gave it a 30%-50% cost advantage out of nowhere in order to make it look the least bit plausible). But for all of Shah's blind spots on nuclear, at least he tried to give the Decouple podcast a small shower of reality:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwN1MCtBkVk

(BTW, Shah has said on recent podcasts that there will be more announcements of new AP1000s soon, and since he's giving out so much money to get them built, we should probably believe that. IMHO, I'd bet 10:1 that it will be wasted money that would be better spent on batteries and solar, but when it comes to subsidies and government spending, money is not actually fungible, so I support more shots on goal, even if they are very very long shots)
This was arguably the world's first electronic programmable computer. It used a form of frequency analysis looking at the frequency of the differences between characters rather than the frequency of the characters themselves. The ingenuity required to crack the code without seeing the actual encryption machine and then to build one of the first electronic computers ever made in order to automate it is almost unimaginable to me.
You even need an account to use it. Pass.
This is also a great site! I remember there was a similar one but for "open source" (heavy quotes) self-hosted software. I find those sooo shady. I also remember there was some Nginx proxy or similar that enabled SSO in several of those applications.
Personally, I think it can look cool, and I'd say a lot of people agree with this.

I have a decent hi-fi system in my home and listen to a lot of vinyl and tapes, and my pair of Technics EAH-AZ80's sound pretty damn good using music streamed from Roon ARC (FLAC, some 320 MP3's).

Pretty much every criminal says they've learned more crime/techniques and could build their "network" in prison. So more prisoners would likely have effect of continuing/promoting crime.

Anyway - no birth control method (except abstaining) is 100%, even when you stack multiple different ways it can happen.

And some methods of birth control - like pill for woman and vasectomy for guys - can mess you up long term.

Women describe getting off the pill like completely changing their taste/smell senses, even brain/thinking ...etc (which sounds similar to what happens in/after pregnancy). When they give it to teenage girls (to "fix" their irregular cycle) they often gain weight..

And while vasectomy could be reversed, it's not guaranteed it would work.
> Because the blade is circular the only interval of time that really matters is from detection to first movement away. Because it triggers on touch the difference between getting sawed and not is millimeters. The time from first movement to full retraction only needs to be fast on human scale time in case the person's hand is still moving into the blade. Name brand SawStop is actually fairly slow on the retraction because it uses the blade's momentum to drive it and that's plenty of speed.

Do you mean in a system with both moving it away and a break?

The only time my fingers hit the blade of a table saw they were moving with a fair amount of momentum and hit first low on the blade - dropping the blade at the speed of gravity wouldn't have been enough.

I haven't seen an explosive system like you mention - is that what Bosch had for a bit? - so I don't know just how fast that is, though dropping a spinning-towards-you blade also seems to have some other potential risks of grabbing shit with it, too. If it's fast enough I wouldn't be concerned as much, but at relatively slow speed it seems maybe nasty.
How so? Even if we include Chernobyl (which emitted so much pollution because it didn't have secondary containment, something Western reactors have) nuclear is still one of the safest form of energy production, beating out pretty much anything except non-rooftop solar.
