First of all, I recommend giving the paper a read, because I think you're misunderstanding the claim (plus, it is a very good paper). The claim is not that they are equivalent, but that tracing GC and reference counting are dual solutions to the same problem, two ends of the same spectrum if you will, with hybrid solutions existing in between.

Second, what you seem to consider to be fundamental characteristics of tracing GC and RC is not in fact so fundamental.

For starters, RC absolutely can handle cycles (e.g. through trial deletion). Such implementations may be difficult or impossible to implement as pure library solutions, but there is nothing that says it can't be done. The most prominent example of a programming language that uses such an approach is probably Python.

Nor does the claim that tracing GC cannot provide hard performance guarantees in the general case (while RC does) hold up under closer examination. Leaving aside the problem that it's already non-trivial to provide hard real time performance guarantees for malloc()/free() and ignoring the issue of cascading deletions, it doesn't hold under the more relaxed assumptions discussed downthread.

For starters, we have such predictability only for the single-threaded case, not for arbitrary multi-threaded situations. And even in the single-threaded case, there are real use cases where predicting performance becomes functionally intractable. Examples are implementations of binary decision diagrams or certain persistent data structures, where the presence of shared subgraphs of arbitrary size make predicting performance of individual deallocations impractical.

In contrast, in the single-threaded case we can absolutely bound individual operations of a tracing GC by either a constant or (in the case of arbitrarily sized allocations) make them linear in the number of bytes allocated (e.g. Baker's treadmill).

What is true is that in the absence of cycles, (naive) reference counting will free memory at the earliest opportunity, which is not something we can say for tracing GC.

CRLF is actually the Internet standard. It wasn't something Microsoft came up with, it was something they inherited from DEC

> Yes, Windows owes it's origin to OS/2, and OS/2 used '\' instead of '/' - so we should never correct a decision inherited from an OS that died 22 years ago...

That's not what the article actually says though. DOS 2.0 decided on '\' instead of '/', and both OS/2 and Windows inherited that decision from DOS.

It's impressive how much hardware they've been able to develop.

Their "Fury", which they acquired from Blue Force, is "a single engine business jet with no cabin." It was originally intended as a target drone, something for fighter pilots to practice against. Anduril repurposed it as an autonomous weapons system.

They do mean autonomous. Their slogan is "Autonomy for Every Mission".

We're seeing the future of warfare in Ukraine. The grunts are pinned down by drones and artillery, while the mobile forces are unmanned. Zipping around in helicopters is over, once the opposition has anything that can shoot them down. The expensive fighters are more agile and survivable, but they are few.

No, I am stating that we can control and change how we behave, which is largely the definition of free will. This is why even identical twins growing up in a practically identical environment will not end up identical. To continue with claims of no free will you end up needing to start appealing to some sort of a butterfly effect of environment. And while that claim is not falsifiable and probably never will be, I think such diverge is vastly more easily explained by simply people having agency and, in identical circumstance and even near identical genetics, being free to make different decisions.
I am not sure about the whole thing. When I was a teenager (so roughly the decade from 2000 to 2009) I hated my guts of any contemporary music, most of what I liked was from the 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s etc.

Nowadays I have quite some things in my record collection from my teenage decade, some of which I discovered only a few years ago, some of which I knew and liked back then, but it wasn't popular music back then.

I always liked to think of this as some kind of survivor bias. There is trash music in everybtime period, but the good music will be listend to more often and thus shape the collective musical memory of a decade. The time we're in hasn't had the chance for that to happen yet, so it seems arbitrary and random as it happens and more defined in hindsight.

It also matters where you look. The 80s have a very recognizable pop music, but it also has Punk and multiple other things.

I took took the comment to relate to writing boilerplate.

So unrelated to code generated, if that makes sense. The generated code I'm sure had lots of boilerplate, it's just not code we needed to consider when developing.

Imagine there's no free will.

Whatever happens you'll end up crossing the road right now.

In one example, you absent-mindedly cross the road.

In another example a thought comes to you to get coffee, and you cross the road to get it.

In another example you consider not getting coffee, and going to the park instead, but end up choosing coffee because you feel sluggish.

If there's no free will, any amount of thinking before the decision doesn't prove there's free will. It's just more stuff that was also predetermined. You having an illusion of choice doesn't prove anything.
Cool! What is the syntax for that?
There are very few consumer experiences as miserable as air travel these days. It’s just a joke.

Plane not full enough to make a big enough profit? Cancel the flight. Reroute the flight. Delay the luggage. Force passenger to check hand luggage in. Charge for every single possible thing.

I abhor flying. It makes me hate myself.

Turkish Airlines delayed us 2 days which we had to spend in the shittiest hotel they could find for the first night and then in the airport itself for the second night (not even giving us lounge access). They’re arguing the delay was only 7 minutes (seriously) and won’t do anything at all. It’s been 9 months of battle involving lawyers and they still won’t pay anything.

This is a step in the right direction but airlines still have a long way to go.

It feels like they used the pandemic to “push the envelope” and see how much more abuse customers will take, and set this as their new standard service level. AFAIK they also never rehired all the people they laid off which partly explains the sharp drop in quality.

Or maybe this is exactly what the world needs given how polluting and damaging flying is, I just didn’t expect it would be the airlines themselves doing all they can to discourage people from flying.

Luckily, in Europe, you can still visit a lot of beautiful places by train without the aggravation of flying. And when accounting for door to door times, flying isn’t that much faster anyway.
Just to spell it out, you are suggesting that if "China" could, would conduct a mass scale genocide against Americans ?

And you base that where exactly ?
Interesting that you think breaking the laws is justification for banning a Platform. I wonder how the US would feel about the EU banning every last US tech company for the plethora of violations.
That seems like an unfair reading. In the same paragraph as “insane”:

> I bet it seemed like a very reasonable tradeoff.
I actually hadn't heard this theory until I read it on Wikipedia about an hour before your reply. I don't think the "same bill as Israel funding" is enough to make this obvious without other context, though: after all, that same bill includes military funding for Taiwan and Ukraine, too, and combining them was largely a parliamentary tactic to make it harder for legislators to oppose portions of the combined bill, not an acknowledgement that they all dealt with exactly the same subject.

(You might still be right, I just don't think it's "pretty obvious".)
Strange to see an overview of network protocols in the guide, and a web server in the SDK: they are very generic, do not seem like any of that should be specific to ESP8266.

> Why wait until TikTok breaks the law to ban them?

Why wait until a homeless guy steals some bread to throw him in jail?

The foundation of the rule of law is that the law applies to everyone equally, not arbitrarily. That includes a presumption of no wrongdoing and due process.

It should be mentioned that TikTok already has its full US data and source code audited by Oracle, a level of scrutiny higher than any of the domestic tech companies. Combined with the FBI and NSA watching them like a hawk, if they were breaking the law, it would be old news by now.
Here comes Elon with another hold my beer moment. Thank god he already wasted billions on Twitter.
I *think* the main national security argument is that TikTok can tweak the algorithm to incite discord and inflame conflicts within the US. They can do this far more effectively from their own platform than by doing it on other social networks via bots and fake accounts.

I tend to come down with the same opinion as you though. It's all still essentially a first amendment issue and the negatives I listed aren't going to disappear if TikTok goes away.
I always wondered why bother with quaternions and abstruse math when at the end of the day they behave like some matrices of floats.
Last I checked the EU and US are not in the pre- stages of hot war.
Why not just get rid of social media? That’s what I did. Well, I have a hackernews account but that’s it
Out of interest what language do you think would have been more appropriate and why?

For that size of codebase I'd have thought code structure and modularisation would be more important than language choice.
> Because the '/' in MSDOS was already in use as an option-indicator - a carry-over from CP/M

It wasn't a carry-over from CP/M itself. The utilities shipped with CP/M itself didn't use slash as an option character. PIP put options in square brackets.

It was a carry-over from Microsoft's programming tools for CP/M. And, as the article points out, Microsoft appears to have borrowed that syntax from DEC TOPS-10, where it originated

To be honest, the use of the word "enemy" is far too strong, it sounds like we are at war with them while they somehow supply half of our goods at prices we've grown accustomed to. "Adversary" is a weaker word that is more apt (which you use later), where the US is not on the friendliest terms with China but isn't in an outright war with them.

Words matter, at the very least to avoid starting nationalistic flamewars here on HN.

I don't think 86-DOS (aka QDOS) itself had slash-based options. At least, in a quick skim of the 86-DOS 0.3 user manual I couldn't see any. [0]

But they were there in PC-DOS 1.0, which suggests Microsoft added them after licensing 86-DOS.

If you have an emotionally abusive partner, and don't do something about it, perhaps depression is acting as a prompt for you to take action. Some part of you (your soul, say) knows better, and via pain (depression) is trying to shift you towards a better, more joyful, result. I believe we have an innate guiding system, and that this is how it works - move away from pain, towards joy.

You can fail to take action, you can take drugs to manage the negative situation more comfortably, but, if abuse is the underlying issue, a genuine change of circumstances is required.

TypeScript: Mapped Type Magic
I like it. Although many may not see the point of such a tool. As you could easily just open up chat GPT. The fact that it guides you through a concept and/or confirms your understanding is very useful. I can in essence program in any language I want with the advent of chat GPT. However, with responses like this it should be easier to understand the fundamentals. Rather than just copy/paste at 2 in the morning when I just want something to work.

Also, although it still needs a bit of work (particularly the header) I like the front end.

It would be cool if you could build an autoencoder that took code in python or another less esoteric language and learned to output it into piet. Then you could do something like stable diffusion and get random algorithms.

Spotify gives me half a dozen suggested playlists, and they’re each broadly compartmentalized into different genres (or collections of similar genres).
This is going to come off as esoteric or metaphysically based. However, that is not my intention. I base the understanding of simple and/or complex ideas/theories on context alone. Meaning, much can be extrapolated if you simply philosophize the workings of a given system rather than detailing how the system is actually deployed/executing.

Example - if all matter we interact with in our world (and manipulate) is essentially compiled in different formations but derived from the very same essence of building blocks. . . then every living organism and inate object is inherently linked together somehow, someway.

The same goes then, for human experience (and thus a reflection of material basis and external fields applied). If a ferromagnetic material (iron) is capable of becoming ferromagnetic permanently and also capable of existing without, then not only is the inherent expectation of matter to transform from one form to another; external experiences applicably experienced result in the same manifestation.

But once again - If you happen to concede the notion that all things in the physical universe are essentially built from the same blocks, then so are the experiences of humans as well and as expected would appear to be connected in some way as well. Meaning, the experience affects the subatomic or quantum levels, thus changing quantum properties resulting in a formal change to the underlying building blocks (genes, DNA copy, etc). That's my take.

To me, this OP is just an example of exposing this on a philosophic level.
