You're not wrong.. but I also somehow doubt this is a dealbreaker. The reality is that nobody typically really cares about the kernel version they're running. It just rarely comes to bite you (like in your example). There are often vague security implications - but they always feel mostly theoretical

Furthermore if the platform is popular enough the community starts to step in. You can even see in the comments section of the previous link:

Some hobbyist went through the trouble to rebase their patches on top of a newer kernel version: https://github.com/sophgo/linux_5.10/pull/1

Furthermore, b/c unlike Broadcom/Rpi chips, these chips are widely available for commercial use - I'm gunna guess 3rd party companies are more likely to dedicate resources to maintain the software stack (even if the chip manufacturer is doing a crappy job of it)
This kind of forum is hard to develop from zero, and it's don't have much financial potiential, the roi is low for new competitors. I think that's why there is not new competitors during this year.

>> The real threat are new integrated chips from small Chinese companies that are coming down the pipeline - like the SG2002.

Exactly. Then there is more powerful Lichee Pi 4A (https://sipeed.com/licheepi4a) which directly competes with RPi4 and more powerful chips are in the making like P550 (https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-premier-p550).

I think it's the right time for IPO. RISC-V development is making huge progress fast. They are also upstreaming some changes. While SG200x is quite old and has unfinished Vector 0.7 extension, new chips claim to have vector 1.0. The documentation is still lacking but their progress is clearly visible.
I don't know, seems like a victimless crime. Collectors gonna collect. Who cares if it's genuine or not?
"In a recent paper" - really? The paper first appeared in ESA 2022. The revised version (with some errors fixed) is from May 2023. To be fair, compared to the rate of progress in this area between Flajolet & Martin (1985) and the previous SOTA (Blasiok, 2018), a couple of years of sitting on this news is not a lot.

I don't think that is really true. In principle, a slower train is quieter, but a tram usually has very tight curves in lots of places, resulting in screeching, as opposed to a (modern) mainline railway which has much wider curves. A tram also needs to run closer to the homes, to still be attractive despite the lower speeds, increasing noise levels at the homes and also requiring more road space near people. Meanwhile a mainline train is much faster, thus can run farther away from home as the access penalty is offset by higher speeds. Low-floor trams also often feature more screeching due to the inability to use conventional bogies.

Anecdotally, in germany, projects to (re-)build trams in cities often fail over local protests, while rail reactivations don't usually succumb to that. HSR does get a lot of local protests, but (IMHO) not really because of the noise and fails less often compared to trams.
Actually, my understanding is that it is an estimation because in the given context we don't know or cannot compute the true answer due to some kind of constraint (here memory or the size of |X|). An approximation is when we use a simplified or rounded version of an exact number that we actually know.
Noise reduction with trains is probably best done with improving the trains. I live next to a frequent trainline, so I can say:

There are modern long electric passenger trains, that barely make a noise at all. And then there are old freight trains, that can be heard from miles away. Since I doubt this noise barrier will be placed everywhere except at some very special key areas, I rather want the Bahn to focus on better trains in general.

It's physically impossible to convince non-technical managers (or technical managers too far removed from the code) that this is always a one-way decision that cannot ever be remediated. Inevitably, the codebase will corrode and decay until its Git repo becomes a superfund site and has to be fenced off with razor wire festooned with warning signs to keep the newbies away.

"But they're cheaper!"

"Just fix the bugs!"

Etc...

It's. Just. Not. Possible to convince anyone that it's not like hiring a recent immigrant to clean your yard. Sure, their English might not be so good, but they can hold a broom, right? No big deal! Worst case, if they miss a spot, you can just point to it and they'll fix it.

The destruction of code quality is an invisible, insidious thing that can end billion-dollar companies while management whistles all the way to the bank collecting their bonus cheques for yet another awesome quarter.

Agreed - this is a good solution for people that don't want or need any of that stuff. You'd be surprised how many people out there don't do any form of internet banking at all and simply manage their money in the bank branch or over the telephone directly to the bank. For the elderly, it's a great idea to remove their internet banking (or not give them access to it in the first place) and protect them from scammers.
This is a function of priority: it is saying that existing features working perfectly are more important than new features.

It also should come with a culture of treating bugs like you do a production incident: You do retrospectives and figure out what you can change to your process to reduce the likelihood of the same type of bug happening again. You likely also have a more extensive suite of tests to prevent regressions.
This model has the design quirk that it concentrates its waste in a specific spot which negates the problem of stepping in fertiliser but which does mean it is up to us to spread it. We tried other models which did not show this behaviour but which ended up being too heavy for our type of landscape - a hilly, silt/clay mixture which does not provide enough support for heavier models when wet - so we'll use this one until it expires.

> I think HN is far less accessible than Reddit.

depends on what you mean by accessible - i assume you don't mean accessibility (for blind/disabled people), but ease of access.

HN is way more easily accessed by someone. You are not nagged by a dialog to get you to download the mobile app. HN has way less clutter in their UX (even compared to old.reddit.com). HN has fewer call to action in the UX to do things like submit, vote etc.

> Not really a spectrum, but on one side you have a comparison of bits (bytes), where only maybe byte order may cause issues, and on the other you have such high-level problems like [...]

Yes, and my point is that various real-world problems will require various solutions from this spectrum.

> How are strings different if they share the same codepoint? Is there software that analyzes the language used, or otherwise context, and prints the codepoint differently based on the context? Or is there a recommendation to do so?

Yes, any renderer is supposed to choose a (slightly) different glyph for those codepoints based on the user's chosen locale. Wikipedia has a table of examples [0] of various codepoints that are supposed to be slightly different in Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean, or Vietnamese.

It of course depends on your use case if you'd care beyond that. For example, if the problem you're solving is "are these two strings going to render identically", then the code points don't help, you also need to know that you need to take into account locale. I can imagine some (very niche, to be sure) use cases like this in the area of OCR or of web page comparison.

> And that means noise protection anywhere where the tracks are adjacent to residential areas, but NIMBYs will launch intensive protests if they get presented with a massive wall of steel in their backyard - understandably so, these things are an eyesore.

Though to some extent people got themselves into that situation of their own fault by constantly screaming about noise and nothing else – politicians listened and tightened up the rules for noise protection, with the result that legally noise protection is now weighted 100 % and visual aesthetics 0 %. Whereas to my knowledge the Swiss still take a somewhat more balanced approach, and don't completely disregard the visual impact of noise protection barriers.
Yeah, don't use it. I use the same weird trick to bypass Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

Railways are unique because they go right through the densest part of towns and cities. For them to be most effective, they should be within biking or ideally even walking distance of a significant number of homes and offices. If you place a railway on the outskirts of a city, nobody is going to use it. This means you're going to have to use very significant noise reduction to keep the area livable.

Highways care a lot less about location. Place them a one-minute car ride outside the city, and its noise becomes basically irrelevant. The city grows and swallows the highway? Just place an industrial area or mall between the highway and any homes. When homes aren't an arms-length away you can get away with far more primitive noise reduction.
The nice thing is that in democracies you can influence what is done against graffitis. Don't like graffitis? try to push your local representatives etc to be stricter on them or move to a country that has no graffiti like Singapore. One of the most sterile, boring city in the world.

For whatever reasons, Germany is rather lenient towards graffiti artists which, in my eyes, makes Berlin more enjoyable than it would be otherwise.

I've lived in a lot of places and I've learned that I hate grey boring walls a lot, I much prefer it when they're covered by colorful graffitis. It seems I'm not the only one so some localities tend to be rather lenient towards graffiti artists and even invite them, other places are much stricter and so you can enjoy bleak concrete walls unblemished by any graffitis.

As to your example about homes, well, in France and in some other European countries, in the 90s there was a bit of a left leaning political push for "right to lodgings". This movement made squatting much easier (in France, it was extremely difficult to get rid of squatters if they moved in past 48 hours). I've always personally thought those laws were stupid and they were eventually repealed and amended recently. But that's the way it is with governments, you don't get to agree with all the decisions made. If it's a democracy you have some measures of influence.
My Dad likes his non-Google phone very much! He never had a smartphone in the first place so doesn't use any apps, social media, internet banking, etc. But does like having an easy to use on-screen keyboard. If a "dumbphone" existed with a large touch screen instead of the little 1" screen with a numpad, that would be great.
> Without tax incentives EVs are far more expensive for people who only drive say 5-10k miles a year.

If you're only driving 5-10k miles a year, car ownership seems like a massive unnecessary burden, electric or ICE. But given you're measuring in miles, I guess there's a good chance you're not from somewhere with adequate public transit and bicycle infrastructure.

In my opinion, we really need to focus less on personal electric cars and more on making high quality, convenient, electric public transportation.

I'm not thinking that I'm on some side or defending some class. As you said, I'm part of the community, the public. Why should the right to have wall painted override the right to have the wall as it is? I'm betting most would want it without graffitis, but apparently one person can decide themselves how it should look. It's a simple conflict of opposing tastes.
You're typing vandalism to make it seem like I also support breaking stuff or something? I have no problem with living in a building with stuff scribbled on it, and it sounds cool to have a customized building by the neighbours. Imagine all the kids that live in the building leave their name somewhere, it'd add to the history. Right now my building is white, and has bright orange metal bars. Is white with orange bars better? I don't know, it's just what it is and I didn't decide it either. I really don't see scribbles as counting as vandalism. I know it counts by law, but I don't have to agree to the law I just have to follow it, and out of all the laws that can be broken, it's one that never lost me any sleep when I see people doing it.

My university for example, in every single room, every single table is scribbled on and marked for years and years. When I arrived there as a fresh faced student I saw scribbles that were 30 years old. Some people left their names, some people said they didn't like professor X, some people left Maxwell's equations on there. I'm so glad the university didn't consider it vandalism. This could be applied to so many more things. It had zero negative impact on my education or experience in the classroom, so how can it be considered vandalism?
In C++, you can do much of what you want with std::array, std::mdspan... and you could also create a Ptr<T> with "using" to define a type alias for T* -- see [0]. Of course the default syntax for pointers is T* and that's not going to change, so it'll be an uphill battle to keep consistent in any codebase. (I guess systematic use of a rule in clang-tidy or such could help with that.)

> Protests erupted after a bill that would allow some French residents of the islands to vote, potentially diluting the power of the indigenous electorate. New Caledonia held a referendum on independence in 2021 that overwhelmingly voted to stay with France after key local groups boycotted the ballot.

This is an extremely misleading paragraph.

Everyone is a "French resident". My understanding of the situation is that the current agreement on the local governance of the territory is that only citizens who were residing there some 25 years ago have the right to vote in the elections for the local assembly. This is what the government wants to change.

The previous deal with independentists was to organise not one but three referendums on independence. They all took place and they all rejected independence. The last one in 2021 was boycotted by independentists "because of Covid". A cynical interpretation may be that they expected to lose again and that this was a tactic to be able to reject the result.

Since then the government has been working on giving more power to the local assembly and as part of this they are planning to give all residents the right to vote in those elections. Obviously this is likely to weaken the position of the independentists but it also makes sense in context.
I won't drive an electric car as long as possible.
Not because they are electric or I have any love at all for cumbustion cars, but because I work in the industry.

I see what's inside those things, I see what the plans for the next generation are, and they are a cost-cutters wet dream.

They are getting even more over-engineered, fully stuffed of useless, cheap, consumer-standard-manufactured gadgets, with software so unbelievabley shit that wouldn't be allowed to run on anything else, design and engineering teams lead by testosteroned morons - and everything targeted on rent-seeking and commodifying for the quick buck.

Seeing the current generation of EVs of many large companies, they will never be environmentally sensible - just because they are all around designed in a way to be basically impossible to be used for more than a couple of years.
Some industrial users are charged in this way, and that's another driver for battery adoption as you can avoid the peak spikes with batteries locally in the same way the larger grid does.
Bit shoddy to make a categorical claim in the headline, when the immediate next line basically says "Or maybe not?"

"Apple was a far smaller, less significant company in 2001" != "Apple were small and insignificant"

If you were into computers in 2001 you'd have heard of Apple, for the general population I'd bet a reasonable percentage would have had little knowledge of them then, and key to the argument here - far far less knowledge or interest than people would today.

Regardless of their significance at the time, there's no way a bit of Apple memorabilia would have commanded the same price or interest then as it would now. Be like selling an autographed John Oliver photo in 2005. He was hardly insignificant on the UK comedy scene at that time, he had a radio show, was on TV shows. But he was _far less significant_ than he is now
This is mine as well; I haven't worked with Go professionally in a few years, but have very fond memories.
Seems like you're just trading one attack surface for another. Your "port" is exposed to the internet either way, you just replaced the service which is listening to it. The question is which you trust more - sshd or VPN.
My interpretation from the paper is that this algorithm is simpler than other options but also worse. So in a professional context you'd use one of those instead
A referendum decision split practically in half is a weird situation though. Imagine being part of the group that doesn't get anything because it's 3 percentage points smaller than the group that gets everything.. The difference is 3000 votes, and 1500 votes were deemed invalid - I really wouldn't feel good about that if I was an independentist there.
I think it's cost.

Up to now, EVs have been very very expensive. We are only now starting to see EVs approaching the €20k mark. Al lthe rich folks who are interested in getting an EV got one already. The rest of us still can't afford them. I'm in the market now, but I'll be looking at the 2nd hand market because new is just too rich for my blood.

Here in Ireland the grants are also drying up reducing the incentives further.

I think this will change pretty soon. As more cheaper new EVs come online, the bottom of the 2nd hand market will drop out. It's a pity that the majority of ev manufacturers are focusing on ultra loaded luxury land-space-ships. Give me a cheap urban transport capsule with 100km range that charges quickly, and I'll be dead happy and probably buy 2.
> What a strange argument that seems to romanticise this "border" called "the law"

Just because something is illegal, does not make it immoral or unethical by itself.

I do understand the argument against graffiti, but there’s also something to be said about any kind of expression that’s inherently rebellious and counter-culture.

> Would you be happy to wake up and see your car covered in paint? What about the windows on your house? Would you see this as an "improvement" too?

Correct me if I’m wrong but the vast majority of graffiti is on public walls and facades, and not on houses or cars. At least here in the Netherlands that’s what I’ve seen.
