hyper-optimized complex queries tailored to the current state of the database", where bytecode would help

Optimization isn’t the goal here, this quote misrepresents the idea. In the spirit of dismissal through all these years, btw, some people just don‘t get it and think it’s for better performance. It is, but for better performance of a developer, not that of a database. The goal is to have a set of languages above that bytecode that would help with usual programming bookkeeping and with expressing queries in an algorithmic way because that’s how you designed it. SQL lacks DX ergonomics, it’s just a language from the clueless epoch.
> > Why? Probably because vitamin D is produced in the skin when we are in the sun. The more healthy subpopulation of any study will typically spend more time outside, so they will have higher vitamin D levels. But it’s (relative) health that causes higher vitamin D, not the other way around.

> You realise that you are proclaiming causality here?

Yes, with emphasis on the word probably. Just like I will happily proclaim that exercise probably lowers mortality.

> A RCT does not establish causality. That's essentially my point. A single study/experiment never proofs causality. You need a theory to explain the causality and multiple studies that falsify other possible causality mechanisms. That has been done extensively for excercise and morbity/mortality, the current study just establishes that this also correlates in the bigger picture. So yes the study itself does not "proof" causality, it's just a piece in the bigger puzzle of causality.

The beauty of an end-to-end RCT is that it effectively neutralizes other possible causality mechanisms. You do not seem to appreciate this. My impression is that your reasoning is more in line with evidence based medicine (EBM), rather than the hypothetico-deductive method that I personally subscribe to. In my way of thinking there will never be definitive “proof” of causality, but I will happily take a drug that has gone through sufficiently powerful RCTs that failed to prove its ineffectiveness (and harm).

In Xorg it is definitely an issue. Virtually all games use a borderless window because actual X11 fullscreen is awful: it captures all input events and changes the system's screen resolution to whatever the application is running at.
That's true when you compare electrical vs optical links for NICs in datacenters. But this is about Silcon Photonics, which changes the equation significantly. e.g. it can be used for on-chip optical interconnects.

The silicon real estate being used for interconnect fabric PHIs is becoming significant and, unlike compute, do not scale well with node shrinks. On-die photonics means you can cut out a big chunk of your PHIs and avoid the the latency of going to NICs. The PIUMA architecture even used on-die switches to avoid having to use external switches.

We certainly do use both. For example in communication we process socket layer conditions and remote operation results together to synthesize Evacsound's own nomenclature of conditions in distributed operation terms. They are then re-signaled and can be handled by a small set of our wrapper macros and constructs.

Our process/tasks abstraction naturally also uses conditions to handle the lifecycle.

As for restarts you can see their invocations in the last code snippet in the article.
How does this work in terms of UI?

Obviously if there are windows on the screen that clearly doesn't make sense.

Does this just apply to applications that are technically running but don't have any windows open?

Kinda makes sense I guess.

Would be even cooler if the feature screenshotted minimized windows and also worked in that case, but noone's doing that already, so uptake would likely not be too high.

Unpacking that witty but cryptic comment:

Yes, you can have privilege-based security without user accounts, if you accept that you do not have control over your own hardware because only the OS vendor has administrative rights.

In other words: yes, you can have no-sign-in and no user accounts, but it's still there and you don't have admin access to your own computer.

Stepping back a level:

Smartphone OSes do not show accounts and permissions, but they are still there, just concealed. Same as they still have complex filesystems, but they are hidden.

Stepping back another level:

This is a bad way to design OSes: when you need to hide away major parts of the functionality, then you shouldn't have that functionality. It should not be in your design in the first place.
My list of requirements is non-existent except that it would be nice to easily out of the box be able to play games and have a tiling window manager.

My understanding is it forbids the hosting of the government collected (and curated, e.g. with regard to military bases) data outside the country, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_geographic_dat....

See also, https://blog.opencagedata.com/post/openstreetmap-in-korea, which relates the situation the same way. It doesn't seem like anyone is hassled for editing openstreetmap from here (and it is quite voluminous), so long as it is not a derivative work of the public surveys.

There is an alternative military-base removed tileset variant, but I believe this is to aid korean GIS users who may not want their application to show sensitive installations, which can generate controversy.
Sure, but capabilities and handles are technical terms of art below the level at which regular users need to understand. The idea that an app is another person using your computer is not a terrible abstraction in terms of helping people make sense of what's happening.
> Then look for jobs that use those technologies!

There are very few jobs for niche technologies, you might end up not finding any you like or where you would be accepted. If you want a job, you must sometimes pick something that is less interesting, but actually used in the industry.

> look for jobs that use the techology you want to learn, then apply for a junior position

You would lose to a candidate who knows anything about the technology. There are tons of applicants for junior positions, and someone who doesn’t know a thing is at a disadvantage.
For entry-level jobs, some knowledge is better than zero knowledge.

Brian McCullough's book How the Internet Happened (https://www.amazon.com/How-Internet-Happened-Netscape-iPhone...) angles this in terms of the centralized digital superhighway versus the open distributed internet. (Where thin clients, set top boxes, etc. are in the first group and web browsers and WWW protocol are the second.)

Essentially, by 2005 the open internet had won, but the iPhone (or more precisely: the App store) became the dream of a thin client and became the platform NCs had initially targeted — turning the internet into a walled garden with a vengeance.
On thing to keep in mind when you see the language, which evolved of several decades: it has low-level (go to, ...), mid-level (macros, ...) and high-level (CLOS + MOP) elements in one language. A reason for that: the low-level parts are code generation building blocks for the higher level parts. Example: The SERIES library (a higher-level way to think about loops and sequences) uses macros (mid-level) to transform code into efficient loops (-> low-level): https://github.com/rtoy/cl-series

So one reason for all this functionality is: the language is its own compilation target. One is not supposed to write all the code, but we can write code which writes the lower-level code.
“…the deep structure of silk appear to be embedded proteins that are antiviral, and yet others that can damage the fortressing walls of bacterial cells.”

“Both the fibroin that forms the silk and the sericin that binds it can hasten the healing of wounds.”

“…silk without sericin, and even the sericin routinely discarded in the manufacture of silk, would be manipulated by doctors and engineers. They would create sponges and gels; films and mats of silk as scaffolds seeking to support wounds that struggle to heal; matrices for the regrowth of blood vessels and broken skin; formulations to attract cells as they migrate and regenerate.”

Whether or not there is pent-up demand for healthcare, the emergence of AI clinical assistants, like any other form of efficiency increases, effectively expands the supply of healthcare services. In a free market, an increase of supply lowers the price at equilibrium. And as their salaries go lower, fewer people become interested in joining the profession.

We saw this play out in agriculture, in manufacturing, and now it is starting to happen in some services. I do not understand why would we think it will be any different this time around.

I don't remember any limitation of the windowed CLI on RISC OS, except it was slower if there was a lot of output.

The OS generally had very little usage of the CLI though, since the GUI was present in ROM and booted to the desktop in about 3 seconds.

The originator of the quote, Warner exec Jamie Kellner, said that there was some allowance for going to the bathroom... but that routinely skipping ads, as the brand-new TiVo DVR could do, constituted theft of programming.

Honestly, he wasn't wrong: if content is provided on an ad-supported basis, there's a give and take. The content was provided with the understanding that the advertisers who paid the network in lieu of the viewer would have the viewer's attention during ad breaks. If the viewer should screen out the advertisements, they are getting the benefits of programming while depriving the network of the benefits it hoped to realize by providing the content. This is morally equivalent to stealing. Everybody seems to understand this except for tech nerds, who for literally half a century have been creatively interpreting IP law and its philosophical underpinning in their favor.

I expect some browser fingerprinting and remote attestation tech to be deployed by Google in order to catch content thieves, and some scathing DMCA lawsuits to result in the wake of the inevitable attempts to circumvent said tech.

There's also value in spending some time in zone 5 [1]: this is where the heart is really trained as a muscle, and where the cardiovascular system is pushed to its limit (the famous vo2max: increasing vo2max is done in zone 5, for ex. with HIIT [2]).

Zone 2 is all about giving the mitochondries a chance to get better at providing a steady energy flow over a long time, mainly by optimizing for burning fat as fuel instead of glucose, avoiding lactate accumulation during the process [3].

In between, in zones 3 & 4, you get a little of both those ends of the spectrum, it's still helpful to a degree, but it's not really optimized: that why it's deemed preferable to spend the bulk of your training time in either your zone 2 or zone 5.

The ideal composition of a training period seems like 90% zone 2 and 10% zone 5, and going for more than 1h of zone 5 per week seems not that interesting. Also, mixing zone 2 and zone 5 in the same training session is not ideal, it's better to stay focused on one thing at at time.

Had this experience about 6-8 years ago, when I was 30ish. You know, a bunch of programming hobbies + a programming job + active writing as a hobby + not enough cardio activity.

It all started with a mild discomformt. Then the discomfort becomes something like mild but constant pain in fingers, hands, arm joints where the nerves are. Not pain-pain but unpleasant sensation. Then my fingertips went numb. And it was getting worse with every week.

My company had a great insurance so I went through a bunch of doctors. What they said was "all relatively fine FOR NOW, nerve microtraumas accumulate but don't get enough time to restore".

In the meantime I couldn't do anything that involved touching a keyboard or a screen. A trivial phone call was a problem.

It took a while but I had to reassess my relationship with computers and health.

1. I started doing cardio. Walk a lot. 10k+ steps a day integrated into my routine. Kettlebells and running. Weightlifting. Weight control. The point is to increase blood flow everywhere and let the body fix itself.
2. Less stupid typing, more smart typing.
3. No mechanically clicking keyboards and mice. That's is a nerve hit 1000s right there times a day.

It didn't happen over a month, or even a year. The habit refresh took a long time to develop, years.

But I have my hands back! As a side effect I am in a good shape now, definitely better than in my early 30s.

In theory, You should be able to add a new passkey to your account, and remove the old one.

Some of the physical security devices even doesn't support exporting private keys. You ask something (encrypt/decrypt/sign) with a mailbox interface and you get the results. Key is never (and can't be) exposed outside of the secure enclave. Said keys are generated in an isolated RNG inside the key, too. So the system is completely self-contained.

I understand the desire of flexibility and convenience, but this is a tradeoff on a slider. Some designs are full-in on security others are not. We should make choices according to that.

They're clearly trying. Look at the vast sums put into Vision Pro. Given the ramped down shipments, maybe that entire decade+ R&D effort will end up financially a write-off.

If you don’t like running, find an exercise you do enjoy. Running isn’t the only cardio out there. If you’re jumping through hoops to force yourself to enjoy it, try a few other activities. Me, I can only get myself to run if I’m engaged in sports.

It depends on your overall financial situation. If it is stable und you can ideally still save some money for an emergency fund after the cut, I would recommend that you do so. And if it were possible to increase working hours back to 5 days a week again, it would almost be a no-brainer. Then just give it a try.

This is such a pipe dream, your pipe must be heavily clogged at this point.

I live in Switzerland, it doesn't get more developed re infrastructure on country level than this really. Car ownership ain't going away, train network is fine but a) ridiculously expensive and prices are raising each year; b) certainly not good enough for many many tasks, unless you like spending 2h in trains/buses instead of 30 mins in the car, sometimes there is just nothing.

Yes you can arrange your life and simply experience less, but why the heck would anybody do that? Private car ownership is at all time high and not slowing down, there are visibly more and more cars on the roads every year.

Self-driving may change that, once it comes. I estimate 2040 earliest en masse, musk poisoned that pond pretty badly with his lies and unfulfilled promises. It just became a no-topic for next decade and some.

In Linux/Wayland, Windows-style fullscreen does not exist and has no reason to exist either.

In a composited environment, fullscreen windows are just maximized windows without a border, which triggers some heuristic to unredirect windows
(i.e. does not have to pay the price of compositing) when they are the sole thing that is drawn on the screen.

So, on Linux, fullscreen and maximized borderless are the same. Given that Windows is a fully compositing desktop as well, I wonder why the difference still exists.

> in particular when the app does need to make some web requests to operate

A web app doesn't need to make an outbound web requests to operate. A user interacting with a web is the one initiating the requests.

You can give the access to the up through a HTTP proxy and you can filter out any outbound requests from the web app or even not configuring the network routing for the server hosting that app. That leaves you with only JS initiated requests in the rendered pages of the app.
