That was wonderful. That equipment is 2 or 3 generations older than my first experiences, but I remember some of the same fiddly nature when doing bare metal (well cross assembler) programming in the late 1970s on a TI-980B that had a card reader, tape, a small removable disk, and some sort of terminal. Maybe a silent 700? I don't quite remember. It was fun at the time.
I don't know why you started focusing on "unconscious bias", but as I said already, I don't think that's what happened.
Any information on which standard they have implemented (POSIX BRE, ERE, PCRE, ...)? Since they are Microsoft, I would not be surprised if there is none.

> The spray drone idea is IMO ridiculous because a proper crop duster plane carries 100x the volume at only 10x the cost (or lower) of this drone.

This is also one of the most dangerous piloting jobs there is and a fair number of experienced die in crashes. They have to fly very low across a field then turn around at the end - if anything goes wrong (not seeing a power line at the end of the field) you have no altitude to recover. Only a few pilots will even fly them and they tend to be in demand which means when a farmer wants the work done sometimes they can't get it done. Plus those planes are mostly from the 1970s or before - sure rebuilt a few times, but still overall old. There is a lot of room to replace a crop duster even if this is more expensive (and not needing a pilot could make is less expensive).

> The vast majority of farmers don't use half million dollar tractors for spraying. The half million dollar beasts are for tilling megafarms that'd require a multi-million dollar army of drones to replicate just one function of the tractor (spraying - which isn't the main function anyway).

A brand new John Deere R4023 sparer has a list price of $330k. I assume there are options, but also farmers can get various discounts but that still is a good price start with for discussion. Of course if you are buying a new sprayer you have more than 100 acres.
> On the Internet, the city has billions of people.

Quality of conversation is very different. Here I am, talking to you randomly. But I can't keep pinging you to discuss math.

Most of whom have "moved" on and do not want to do math in their free time.
> Let’s do a 1:1 comparison of microservices and modules. Spoiler alert: the argument favors modules, as there is little to be said in support of microservices when pitted against modules!

This is the introduction to their argument and it definitely accurately captures the tone of the rest of the article. As for ignorance, you get frequent sections like this:

> With a monolithic architecture, your system is either UP or DOWN, with no in-between. With microservices, you need to monitor every service. All the services need to be UP, and they need to be able to communicate with each other, all for you to be able to say the system is UP. If even one out of your 888 services is down, the system can no longer be called UP!

The author manages to take one of the most compelling uses of microservices and turn it into a negative thing. Somehow in their mind switching from a model where you're either UP or DOWN to a model where you can be partially UP is worse, which suggests to me that they don't have very much experience operating either type of architecture. Managing an incident during a partial outage is infinitely less stressful than managing a complete outage. Whether you can officially label the entire system as UP is immaterial in a real ops context if the impact of the isolated service that is DOWN is minimal.
I don't think I'm contradicting myself - I think the UN is a mutually-beneficial, shared illusion that works only when the major powers that go into it believe that it works.

The most cynical view of the UN is that it is a club of the five major members that happens to include the rest of the world, yeah. But the power of the shared illusion gives it broad acceptance. And even if enforcement is uneven, the broad acceptance of the UN's role provides it with a degree of moral and political authority.

because a robot costs the cost of the robot plus the cost of the people making the robot

whereas people only cost what people cost.

the real reason we do have technology is because keeping people poor is terribly evil, and doing that only to have cheap things is somehow even worse. which is the real point I'm making by the way

moreover, we're all missing another subtle point I omitted. herbicides are even cheaper than people, robots, or any combination of them. but as it turns out, killing the soil is also a pretty bad thing to do.

So my understanding is most of the stars that fill our sky are stars inside our milky way and nearby. "The Milky Way" smudge we can see in a dark sky is the collective effort of all the far-off milky way stars.

I assume some of the 'stars' we can see with the naked eye are actually galaxies, but I assume that's a small percentage.

Our closest galaxy, Andromeda, appears barely as a smudge to the naked eye.

I guess my question is more about how far away from their home galaxies are these orphan stars, expressed as a percentage of a hypothetical planet's sky-cover.

eg we see the milky way as a band because we're inside the galactic plane... would these orphan planets see their home galaxy as a fainter band because they've been ejected still in the galactic plane? Would they see part of the sky covered and part of the sky blank because they're outside their home galactic plane? Are they still close enough to their home galaxy that they're still surrounded by enough stars to fill the sky, or would the star density in their skies be seasonal?

I think it would be fun to speculate on different hypothetical cultural evolutions of different kinds of night sky configurations, like "winter is when our planet's night sees our home galaxy, so winter is when the gods send their nightlumination down on us" etc.

It's not the House that passed it. It's a committee, which will pass it on to the full House.

I'd say there's little likelihood of it becoming law. Congress is soon going to go on break and start campaigning for re-election.

> Wouldn't this compete with piloted crop-dusting aircraft, not tractors?

Yes, and given that flying crop dusters is pretty dangerous (old, shoddily maintained aircraft and "runways", low altitudes over rough terrain) and exposes the fields to lead from the fuel, it's high time to get rid of that.

A drone with an automated recharger+resupply base can operate entirely on its own.

Part of the problem is that a website itself is an incredibly low-value thing in 2024. If you are a small business owner it won't actually generate revenue for you without listings, SEO, ads, etc. For the website itself a $5 Squarespace site is fine.

And if you are a big business you can afford to just hire a guy.

In your analogy, someone buys a Rolex so they can flaunt it - value is not important. But a website no one will even be able to see unless you put in the legwork to get people to it.

One way or another, the current workflow has to be:

1. Download the code (or update the copy you downloaded last time you had an issue)

2. Redirect `go build` to use the downloaded copy rather than the upstream copy (either by modifying go.mod or go.work)

3. Do the editing

4. Undo #2

Under the old system, you just had to do #3. And sure, it's not that much work, but it's a bit more than I had to do before.

Did you have any purposes in mind? An A record for the apex of the domain would be easy to find with dig or any other DNS client. I agree with the hypothetical though, your DNS provider can set records that you didn't request, could hide them in the console, and detecting these would be hard in the general case.
obviously there's some amount of validation that happens at each step. The question is just how much you do when, and how that affects when issues get discovered.
Interesting. It does seem that being more agile in PKI deployment is going to be a requirement in the next few years as we grapple with rolling out a potentially interesting variety of PQ signatures and hybrids.

Especially considering exploding PQ signature and key sizes, this looks increasingly like a data synchronization problem between the server and clients. I wonder if we could kill two birds with one stone by using trust expressions consisting of a set of certificate indexes against a trust store database, instead of trust store versions and exclusion labels. In that model, a trust store is just a centrally managed list where each certificate is assigned a unique 64-bit index.

For example, a client says "I use trust store database XYZ with certificate indexes: <ordered, integer compressed 64-bit index list, maybe a couple hundred bytes>". The server constructs (or pulls a cached copy of) a trust chain from one of the listed roots and sends it to the client. Intermediate certificates may also be stored in the trust store database - and cached on the client. In subsequent requests, the client may include those intermediate indexes in their request, allowing the server to respond with a shorter chain. Clients with an old, long trust chain might have a long first exchange, but after caching intermediates can have a much faster/shorter negotiation. As certificates expire, they are removed from both the trust store database, as well as the client's cache - naturally moving the 'working window' of certificates forward over time.

This shifts a bit of work on the server, but dramatically reduce complexity on the client. The client just states which certificates it has and what algorithms it supports, and the onus is placed on the server to return the "shortest" chain that the client can use as a proof.

> The ICJ is powerless. How does it purpose to enforce it, or anything?

It's not its job to do that, it is a judicial not an executive body.

Unfortunately, the UN’s executive decisionmaking body is, unlike the court, fairly consistently faithless to the law where any of the pet interests of the P5 members whoe exercise vetos over it are concerned, and protecting Israel from any consequences from its lawbreaking (even where the US fully acknowledges that it is lawbreaking, as in the case of continued settlement expansion) is a pet interest of the US.

> How much space is wasted due to partially filled filesystem blocks? This is less important with today's workstation drives than it was 30 years ago, but perhaps still relevant on a single-board computer with limited flash storage, for example.

I store my e-mail in a maildir on ZFS with compression enabled. I have not tuned it in any way. My archive directory is 30% smaller than the total number of bytes according to "du" (i.e. compression outweighs the space overhead)

For a more "normal person" comparison, I made a fresh ext4 file-system and copied it over and used "df" to get the exact number of blocks in use; overhead was about 2%. Seems fine to me.

I found this by accident on YouTube the other day, and started watching it, not intending at all to sit through the 4+ hour runtime, but by the next day I'd watched the entire thing.

I'm not a Disney Parks person at all, but found the whole thing fascinating. Honestly, at first glance, this seems like such a fun idea, and given the popularity of other parks projects, I couldn't believe it'd failed. But digging in, it all kind of starts to fit together.

I didn't take notes, but off the top of my head:

* The stay was very expensive. You actually had to talk to an agent for specific pricing, but it was around $4k USD for two people for two days, with additional charges if you wanted to add people to your room.

* Despite luxury pricing, the rooms and furnishings are decidedly not. Tiny cabin-style rooms with bunk and pull out beds, and ~no amenities (no gym, no pool, etc.).

* The experience seems to have been a good idea, but executed poorly. This YT creator had trouble accessing any of the theoretically available storylines, and despite an effort to interact as much as possible ended up with results not discernible from random, or having done nothing at all.

* Lots of boring app-driven interactions involving messaging with virtual avatars of the IRL characters. On the day excursion to the rest of the Star Wars world, lots of of scanning QR codes on crates. The whole thing seems to have been very uninspired, and buggy to boot.

* When comparing the final product to concept art and statements from Disney execs, it seems like a lot of corners were cut for the final product and it ended up very underwhelming compared to what it was supposed to be. There seems to be lots of evidence elsewhere that Disney parks have really become cheapskate / penny pinching operations, and a reasonable hypothesis is that there were a lot of big ideas, but they would've been expensive, and they were slowly cut back one by one until the overall product really had nothing special left, and fell flat.

* From Disney's end, it didn't seem to scale very well. The high price tags seems to be related to the fact that the hotel didn't have all that many rooms compared to larger resorts which might have thousands, so they felt that they had to recoup the cost from each one. This didn't sit well with customers though, and after the initial opening period, the hotel seemed to be operating at high vacancy rate because few people were able/willing to pay the very substantial premium.

* Perhaps the biggest reason for its abrupt closure is due to accountants. Disney will be taking up to a $300 million tax write off from the project, so its closure may have been even a neutral or even good thing to its execs. The closure was extremely abrupt, which seems to suggest that they wanted to take the write off for the prior fiscal year specifically.
For niche spraying where you can't get to the ground I'd rather see a robot on little slits or something. If you can get to the ground, well, those chemicals are heavy and drones run on pretty terrible batteries.

>These tractors can cost up to half a million dollars to purchase and about US $7 a hectare to operate.

>A pair of Hylio’s drones cost a fifth of that, Erickson says, and operating them costs about a quarter of the price.

About zero farmers are buying a tractor solely for spraying crops, but honestly if you have the money for a new tractor, knock yourself out with a stupid drone, why not?
