It's designed with the luxury of hindsight on longtime-existing ISAs. Avoiding many pitfalls in those. While not attempting to innovate in ways that may or may not work out.

Also the base ISA is very implementer-friendly. As in: requiring few transistors / FPGA LEs, (relatively) easy to write a compiler or emulator for, etc. But that is hardly unique.

32b and 64b flavours very similar. Oh and... modular.

That doesn't make it 'better' though. Eg. x86 has a looott of legacy cruft. But also a looott of high-quality software for it. RISC-V: many of those tools are still being written / adapted / optimized. Likewise, x86 & ARM have many high-performance, efficient and/or low-cost implementations. RISC-V is catching up quickly, but not (yet) head-to-head with those.

This has been my experience. There was a corridor between 2 FL counties known for heavy lightning strikes. I serviced small sites that had their IT equip fried (exploded, melted) once or twice a year.

Putting it behind 4-6 decent, consumer-grade surge protectors turned out to be really effective. I was a bit surprised given how lightning can jump over protection during a strike.

Yeah, I wish the VM would prevent null assignment of optional and force to empty. There are probably side effects I can’t think of here and certainly would cause problems with legacy code misusing optionals.
A more relevant example would be that Einstein did not predict how to make a laser when he discovered the theory of the stimulated emission of radiation (the "SER" in "LASER").

The photoelectric effect had been well known for decades, Einstein has just given a good explanation of its behavior that was already known from experiments. It would have been equally easy for the designers of the first video camera vacuum tubes, which were used in the early television, to design them based only on the known experimental laws, ignoring Einstein's explanation.

On the other hand, the formulae of the stimulated emission of radiation, complementing the previously known phenomena of absorption and spontaneous emission, were something new, published for the first time by Einstein in 1917. They are the most original part of Einstein's work, together with the general relativity, but their practical applications are immensely more important for now than the applications of general relativity, which are limited to extremely small corrections in the results of some measurements with very high resolutions.

The inventions of the masers and lasers after WWII would not have been possible without knowing Einstein's theory of radiation.
At some time I just decided that having different users is the best runtime manager of all.
>surge protector" is what Americans call a passive device that splits one outlet into several, yeah?

Not necessarily. There are “power strips” which turn one receptacle into several. Then there are sure protectors which are typically built into power strips. So not all power strips are surge protectors but almost all surge protectors are also power strips.
To be fair, CV/Gate is still widely in use, especially in Eurorack world. You don't build modular synthesisers out of MIDI.

That of course becomes "$$@" in a Makefile recipe if you want bash's behavior and not make's... which is one of the reasons I tend to keep my shell scripts in separate files, and only grow a Makefile to wrap them later if I have to. These days I just have the directory of scripts and no Makefile. Even the rare times I do C, I prefer a script that recompiles everything and slapping ccache on top of it (but usually I'm dealing with an existing Makefile, and I just pray that it's not generated by automake)

In the early 90s, I believe MS Word came on a few floppy disks and the main executable was 2MB. It ran fine on a 16Mhz 386 with a total of 2MB RAM (let that sink in!)

It did pretty much everything it does now, only lacked a grammar checker. (WordPerfect had one.)

Now we measure things in GB units. 1000X bigger, but what was gained?

I can totally see this working. My friend used this to study grad school math.
The center tapped transformer that provides residential split phase 120/240 on its secondary winding connects to just 1 of the 3 grid phases on its primary winding. If that one phase goes out on the grid, both sides of the split phase service go out together. There would need to be a fault on just one side of the split, downstream of that transformer, for your suggestion to hold up. Certainly not impossible, but far less common than a "losing one phase" scenario which would typically originate upstream on the high voltage side.

On a commercial 3 phase service, yes, connect redundant PSUs to separate phases, since each phase on the panel actually corresponds to each phase of the grid.
As a consumer that’s fantastic tbh

I wonder if this will ever be priced competitively with the massive number of used or NOS Z80 chips out in the wild.
Without external funding you will need to find a customer that will back you. What I mean is, an account that is large enough to pay for the three of you to continue to build out the platform + will expand + is a known logo you can use and will work with you for marketing purposes (case study, referrals/references, webinars, conferences, etc.).

The tricky part is finding the right "design partners" that can back you financially and help with marketing, while not totally derailing your roadmap. You need to make sure you continue to build for your total addressable market, not just your top paying customers.
IMHO the solution for the problem of devs in the same company having different environments is not Adsf and its competitors like Mise, but things like Nix/Guix and Docker.

At work, because everyone uses Mac, we ended up using Kandji to achieve the same thing: everyone has the same tools and environments, but that is only if you already have to use that due to security audits and stuff like that.

If I had a small company myself I would probably setup everything with Guix as I really like the way it works, more than Nix (though only because I prefer Lisp config files and because Guix doesn't suffer from any polemics like the flake soap opera).
I also find it mystifying and I’m not a SEO expert, but one way I use it is to compare ranking positions over time for specific pages and queries. That will help you identify where exactly the traffic came from and where you lost it. A lot of times this has to do with gaining or losing the #1 spot to a competitor.

If you don’t see a ranking change, it could also indicate seasonality in your visitors or external events. If your website is brand new, this could be hard to detect otherwise. For example, recently I saw a traffic spike for a random blog article, and search console help me see that people were searching for that topic because Elon Musk tweeted about it the day before.

Another helpful feature is to inspect particular URLs and make sure they are indexed—sometimes if you have multiple similar pages and set the canonical URL incorrectly, Google will try to de-dupe the results.

Hope that helps!
Yeah my VT520 is also very clean. Unfortunately though it's one of the later ones sold by Boundless. The same thing but not the DEC logo, and that matters a bit.

App support is pretty horrible these days though. Most apps don't bother reading termcap/terminfo anymore and just blast Xterm whatever to the terminal :) That makes the functionality a bit limited.

I did some of my best work on those terminals though. Especially because they didn't have a browser. Very distraction-free. I can see why this works out so wel for people like George R.R. Martin.
Well of course we can't trust a single party for any information. That's why it's Public-Key-Infrastructure. I suppose the browser itself could validate content since it has a list of trusted root CAs. So then all we need is for each person to have a well-known domain.
It is not necessary to empirically determine a specific airplane's stall speed in order to operate it safely. It's not required in the US, we just use the number the manufacturer publishes.

It's normal for airplanes of the same model to fly differently: I fly a little fleet of six Citabrias, and their stall characteristics are radically different. You'd expect more uniformity from a modern aluminum airplane, but still: nobody should be flying an airplane like this so close to the edge the exact stall speed needs to be known numerically within one knot.

The 40lbs of gas I burn flying for an hour decreases the stall speed by more than 1mph on those Citabrias I fly.

EDIT: I was mistaken, this isn't a requirement in Europe either.
How shallow am I if I just don't like the name "Porkbun"?

So yeah I'll never use Porkbun and my only shallow reason is their awful brand name.

> For whatever reason the west fails to successfully socialize an unacceptably large portion of the native born population.

Part of the reason for that is protection and promotion of freedoms of individuals, which means that we expect the society to stay away from our lives, because we did try various forms of state and church hierarchies running our lives and we did not like it. If you come to the West or are born here learn what it is about and decide how you want to live your life. The same people complaining about the society not caring for all are those who wanted the society to leave them alone.
Yes, i understand, just pointing out how useless the first one is.
Holy false dilemma, Batman! If that's your reading from what I said, you really can't be helped.
Yes, you are. Quantum computers are only believed to be faster than classical computers for a handful of very specific problems. And even those are not 100% proven (we don't have a proof that a faster classical algorithm doesn't exist for any of them, except Grover's search, which is only a quadratic speedup, not an exponential one).
> contactless PAYG ticket

This would be a smart card that can hold a credit balance and also season tickets, so it is not necessarily PAYG.

However, there are two types of such smart cards, Oyster cards issued by TfL, and ITSO cards issued by other train operating companies. Both can store season tickets for journeys within London. But only Oyster cards can be used for PAYG within London and only ITSO cards can be used for PAYG outside London and store season tickets involving journeys outside London.

Aside from that, QR codes are yet another form of ticket for National Rail trains, and they work in some stations in London and not others.
Yup. Your IDE will likely highlight it as an issue, but it's totally legal to return a null Optional. There's nothing special about it, it's just a wrapper class.
That's pretty depressing. I don't really do any kind of content marketing work these days and haven't really been around that industry for a decade, but I can only imagine how disappointing it must have been to start seeing your traffic drop off, seeing which results were winning in search compared to your own site, seeing how they were winning, and then having to add more and more shit to your own site in order to climb back up the rankings.
I dare you to board a plane whose software was written that way.
If null and [] should be the same thing then I’d make absolutely sure you can’t represent both. You don’t want two states representing the same thing. That should be easy to ensure if a language is reasonable. E.g a field that can’t be null (best case a non-nullable type, otherwise maybe a constructor guaranteeing it’s never null)

As the example of byte vs option<byte> either you want 256 states or you want 257. If you have 256 or 257 states you want to represent will decide which type is correct. The other choice of type is incorrect.

In some languages, these things are blurred because the language doesn’t let you choose a correct type for the state space, but I’m talking about the case where you can (coincidentally the set of languages I’d use).
Yeah sorry, I was talking about removing the confirmation dialog. I should have clarified.

The main wing can still be stalled in a canard; it’s not easy but it is possible and when it happens it’s almost unrecoverable because the canard will be stalled too and no flying surfaces will have sufficient lift to correct the condition. It’s a condition called “deep stall”
You’re first two sentences prove my point that this is not adoptable by most. Cell phones are ubiquitous and permeated all tiers of society. Hosting your own domain and email isn’t.

My concern with YC is that it doesn’t give you time to build relationships and determine who is actually a good investor to work with. How do YC startups go about this? Since you're giving up a board seat, you're stuck with them for a long time. This whole two-week timeline feels very rushed.

Denmark's Oyster-ish system covers the whole country. Anonymous cards need a balance of at least 70kr to start a journey, and are limited to a region of the country — e.g. Zealand (Copenhagen's island) and nearby small islands. Adding the non-refundable cost of the card gives an amount larger than the longest journey within that area.

It's possible to set an anonymous card to a high advance payment (600kr = 80€), and then use it to travel across the country.

Great Britain is significantly larger, has much higher train fares, and isn't neatly divided into islands. They could limit it to contactless credit/debit cards, but I don't see a neat way to extend Oyster over the whole country.

Jimmy Carter may have been one of the most decent human beings the US has ever had as a President.

And this has obviously only accelerated massively since Trump.

> But many apps don't have to care, and those are the ones where AR isn't such an albatross.

I am super defensive on this one. Apps can keep not caring about it... until they have to.

Is it that much more effort to have a clear boundary between domain and db-access? I think it is only effort if you don't know what you are doing... which is _precisely_ when you need it the most.

> Still, it serves all right as long as you treat it as a DB interface and not your canonical business object model.

I still don't get the benefits. If you decouple db-model from domain model you lose all "advantages" of AR. It's like having plain DTOs but with its sharp spikes sticking out if you ever do something wrong.
Similar to a SumTree, if all you need is incrementally computed values without data persistence, a heap makes for a more efficient data structure. I remember learning about this from the following blog: https://timvieira.github.io/blog/post/2016/11/21/heaps-for-i...
The article mentions various old chips that interface to the 3270 data stream. Does anyone know what the similar chips are to interface to IBM's bus-and-tag?

Has anyone tried to make null as a function? In Julia, there is a `get(null::Function, collection, key)` method which can be used in a syntax:

This syntax has captivated my attention lately as it seems like a viable alternative to doing an explicit null check before using the value.
What Is the Memory Capacity of a Human Brain?
Another option I haven't seen mentioned yet is Spaceship.

I've moved four domains to them over the last few months away from Gandi, and am globally very satisfied.

It is a Namecheap spinoff to allow them to "cut the cruft" and restart fresh without having to deal with technical debt.

It has a few rough edges (the interface is not the clearest because it uses a different paradigm which takes some getting used to) and it doesn't support all the features of more established players (the biggest ones for me being the lack of an API and the absence of a raw/advanced zone editor), but they are consistently cheaper than Porkbun (for how long we'll see, but for now I've renewed my domains to their max to benefit from the current prices) and also have quick, efficient support via chat.

They have some enjoyably modern features, such as a DNS propagation map so you can follow in real time the propagation of your records' modifications to their servers across the globe.

All in all I'd say it's a great registrar for individuals and small ventures for whom price comes first, but the lack of an API will probably turn away more technical or demanding customers (which are probably already better served by the likes of Cloudflare). Of course, as others have alluded to you can also just use them as a registrar and define other nameservers.
I can't believe how many people are suggesting Cloudflare who:

1) Is backed by the U.S. Dept of Defense, NIST, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the EU (Horizon 2020 Program).

2) The main way people know about Cloudflare is that awful Verifying you are human message and 3-second redirect you see on some sites - which is my prompt to immediately leave the site.

Why would anyone want anything to do with slow as hell and government-backed Cloudflare?
For some people it is because retaining the good life depends on something tentative like staying competitive or relevant, or perhaps most tentatively of all: staying interested.
