Many commenters here seem to be hostile towards philosophy. Heres a take for you:

This is only a paradox if you think of language as a way of describing some "real", static state of affairs in the world (look up " correspondence theory of truth"). There is no paradox here if we think of language as pragmatic, action directing, since it is obvious what the sentence should convey (look up "pragmatism"). Some people will argue that there is some sort of static meaning hidden behind the actual words which enters the consciousness of the listener, others will say that the meaning is only generated by the person hearing the words.

This is as philosophical of a question as it gets, and has been debated even more heatedly ever since Wittgenstein.

If you do not see that debating these questions is relevant and interesting, but would rather reduce all of philosophy to that first obvious-seeming and thus "not a real problem" position, then I wish you a good time bathing in your ignorance.

However, if you comprehend that what we take for granted in every area and discipline can be subjected to reasonable reflection, then I welcome you to the dark side. Nothing is clear, no knowledge absolute - many engineers seem to forget this while over-indulging in an overly simplistic world view :)
>Are you open to the possibility that your particular experience with buses is not what all buses are or must be like? This is also sounds like an underfunded and sparse bus system. You can do buses right or you can do them poorly, same with anything. If you have a dense enough network that most people don't have to transfer, or enough frequency it doesn't matter, it makes a huge difference.

You haven't the slightest idea of what you are talking about. See "little to no experience with daily reliance on buses for urban transportation".

The reason I run a router based on open-source, is I know it's going to get updates for years. Previously I've encountered a number of vendors that either only provide updates for their flagship models, hide behind the latest revisions of their hardware getting updates, or they just ship the occasional major update when a CVE hits the news (ie too late to provide protection).

Las week we launched Portiko. A site that connects scientists looking to carry out experiments and researchers with the experience and tools to do so.

We launched with a Google form and a ".verel.app" landing page with a hero and a CTA.

My co-founder wrote a tweet and asked every account she could for a retweet. Turns out, most people are open to help out if you ask.

Before we knew it, the tweed had 400k views and 2k likes.

We got over 800 people to fill out the Google form. Around 430 of those turned into registered users once we launched the site.

TL;DR: Launch now, and ask for help.
Smartphones are general-purpose computers with a bunch of little digital locks, that while strong, are not impervious. Such locks, when used to protect a device owner, are good.

Thank you for your interesting story. If you don't mind my asking, what was the nature of the workshop and the accident and what was the experience like between the accident and the medical procedure? It's rare you can ask these kinds of questions so first hand accounts are both interesting and educational. Apologies if this is not something you'd like to discuss.

And no it doesn't solve the problems I listed. Those things are still difficult.

Don't get me wrong I bike around town all the time, but some days are really hot, some are really rainy, some days I need to carry more stuff than is possible on a bike, some days I'm not feeling well enough to bike.

I write Java daily. I find a lot of value in marking functions as static to make clear that they are not methods. There is a lot less cognitive overhead wondering if they only operate on their arguments or if they drag in their closure and the rest of the universe.
Could you point to the example you mentioned, I couldn't find it.
That is incorrect. A C++ compiler is perfectly allowed to reject any program that contains undefined behaviour.

It's just not required to do so.
Sure, but the cost only applies to people who want the feature, so it's fine, right? I'll buy the 1 kHz monitor and you can buy the 60 Hz one.

Right now, Circle looks like the only Typescript like evolution path for existing C++, with a production quality compiler.

Unfortunately WG21 seems to have some issues with any ideas coming out from Circle, going back to its early days, and I don't see them being willing to adopt Sean's work.

Which is really a pity, as he single handled managed to deliver more than whole C++ compiler folks, stuck in endless discussions about the philosophical meaning of the word safety.

Maybe at least some vendor in high integrity computing domain does adopt his work.
You're right. In fact it was in the previous slide[0] from that same talk. Thanks for pointing that out.

> I ran some benchmarks and the Go variants (traefik, caddy) eat a lot of memory per conn.

I'm pretty annoyed with how many people on HN are shouting in every thread "caddy is soon much better!" and the only material benefit to caddy I can glean from these threads is that it's easier for noobs. Which, to be clear, as far as I can tell, it does a good job of that and will probably win the next decade over nginx for that reason alone, but nginx really isn't that hard to set up, and I'm surprised there isn't so much push back against the pro-caddy narrative. It's just an uphill battle for an application written in golang to be faster than a mature application written in C. Obviously I will continue to use nginx until hard evidence of on-par performance is published, but at the same time I'm more likely to hold out for a competitor written in rust.
At least as far as Hacker News is concerned, I'd call htmx way more marketed. It has hundreds of HN submissions in the past year alone [0] including one that broke 1000 points.

> An application with 10 frames of latency will be faster on a 1 kHz display than a perfectly coded application on a 60 Hz display.

thats actually not true. you seem to be implying that the best a 60hz display can manage is 16.6ms of latency. indeed that is the worst case value, but you should consider that early graphics technologies involved changing display modes mid scan.

it’s actually not ridiculous to suggest that old platforms had sub-millisecond latency; they did. if the scanline was on, or just before, the line where you would interact (i.e., the prompt line), the text you enter would appear immediately.

of course, “vsync”, tear free, and such like approaches “fixed” this - necessarily by adding at least a frame’s worth of latency - but also adding perceptual latency.

it’s an oft-overlooked aspect of refresh rates. a 60hz CRT, without vsync, still has the lower bound of latency lower than a 120hz display. perhaps even 240hz.

i’ve used two 240hz displays for years now. i’ll never go slower than that.
I think that has more to do with the fact that he is paid for by Vercel than anything. He's mostly been saying negative things about Rails despite not understanding how it works.
I suppose you can make that assertion by moving the goalposts. But Rice's theorem specifically addresses such behavior: all turing machines are inherently undecidable for all but trivial cases.

You can well argue that Rust may be better than C++ in some dimension, just as others can argue that those qualities have an unreasonable or intractable cost (note that about 20% of all crates resort to `unsafe`). But your blanket assertion is not even supported by the reference you made.

Also the user is free to tell a C++ compiler to reject programs that use many sorts of undefined behavior, though indeed nobody would claim that any current compiler can identify all such cases. But Rice's theorem says that no Rust compiler could either.
Yes, but developers weren't widely aware of its power until the launch of Gmail in 2004, and the term "AJAX" wasn't used until 2005.
Arguably, the complexity of getting the blob of fissile material should count as complexity. I'd argue that the simplest reactor therefore is the kind you can make with natural material, so a beryllium, heavy water, or graphite moderated natural uranium reactor like CP-1. Even then there was much complexity in getting pure enough graphite.
That reminds me that 10 years ago, I could close a (Windows, Linux) laptop and open it a couple of days later and it would instantly turn on, using the amazing S3 sleep.

Thanks for biting. But I'm also serious.

Some evidence that I'm not joking, two more or less prominent examples...

From Roger Penrose's "The road to reality", chapter 1.3 "Is Plato's mathematical world ‘real’?":

"I am aware that there will still be many readers who find difficulty with assigning any kind of actual existence to mathematical structures. Let me make the request of such readers that they merely broaden their notion of what the term ‘existence’ can mean to them. The mathematical forms of Plato’s world clearly do not have the same kind of existence as do ordinary physical objects such as tables and chairs. They do not have spatial locations; nor do they exist in time."

"How" you ask.. I think we need to trace back when philosophers started to hit on that meme. I think the "multi-thousand-year furniture lobbyists" started to jump on the bandwagon from there and things co-evolved after that. I am determined to solve that humandkind-old mystery.

The cost to redo what is there is so high that efforts for road diets are usually only a few blocks or a few miles at a time. More money need to be made available for these projects by the federal government as municipalities are usually strapped for cash.
So what does society look like where you can still have ambulances and taxis but not a car for yourself?

Don't you still need roads for those? So just normal civilians can't have them?

And I won't hold my breath for local politicians to improve public transportation.

I'd love better public transportation, in addition to cars.

-- I hit some sort of post limit, replying to below --

Civilians are still allowed to have and drive their own cars, even in Europe.

I'm all for better designed cities in America though, but it's not a car problem, and especially not a universal issue (towns are perfect).

Instead of hating on cars I think a more useful approach would be to contact your local politicians that are in charge of zoning and public transportation.
I liked the old Cisco where if there was a sufficiently high CVE, you could call TAC and have your long-passed (or retired but now running the home network) device get the latest security patch in that train. Better for the internet as a whole, to have patches available.

Now all the vendors hide their severe CVE fixes behind the maintenance contract. I get putting new feature branches behind the contracts, but in the meantime, it'll be their name in the news when the equipment gets exploited.
Yes, you can control a namespace (in the form of a table, of course) in which a module you require executes. The global definitions are then placed in the table. You can implement copy-on-write using this namespace and a metatable, you can change the semantics of accessing an uninitialized (global) variable, etc. Lua is incredibly flexible, after all. Unfortunately, since you have to implement (and then maintain!) those yourself, it's hard to justify (IME) using Lua instead of a more full-featured solution (that might still incorporate Lua somewhere in the stack[0]), esp. since the main selling point of Lua is simplicity.

[0] You can use something like Fennel or Haxe to compile a more structured language to Lua, or you can use an alternative implementation like Luau.

That may be true for some donors (apparently you?), but definitely not all.

Many people don't care about the tax break.

Nowadays MANY people donate because reusing is better for the environment.

And of course people have a choice where to donate, and an org has to "do a good job" to get those donations.

I like Tag's new Edge-Connect- we tried them, they are awesome:

https://www.tag-connect.com/product/ec06-ctx-20

These take much less board space (especially when considering locking holes) and work much better than Tag-Connect with and especially without the locking holes (those pin lock things are available, but they suck)- I mean they are easy to insert and stay in place, very nice for firmware people to use. They seem ambiguous about which side of the board you can plug them into, but they are actually (barely) polarized.

The main disadvantage is the expense of the connector and expense of castellated holes on the edge of your board. If you can afford the BOM cost use a surface mount 10-pin 50-mil header, or if you can afford the footprint space and some holes, use the SKEDD connector.

BTW, for SPI-flash chips: an option is to use a socket for them.
Well, 1864 was long before the automobile. However, Atlanta, like most American cities that were getting big around 1900, had lots of streetcars, so it was never going to be walkable in the same way that European cities are. Despite the nostalgia for them, streetcars were definitely not as good as busses and cars - they were pretty slow and got stuck in traffic because they ran down the middle of the street without any barriers. The thing with cars is that they let people spread out much further than even streetcars could feasibly go, and as you said, Atlanta is pretty much the best-case scenario with cars.

Even LA became an automobile city, and it has much more substantial barriers to expansion. Now that it's built out, LA is developing a pretty expansive metro system, but it will take decades to truly cover the region. It would have been nice to at least lay the main lines of the metro when land was cheap. One thing China got right is learning from these mistakes and building out their metros ahead of their city growth.

Except applications don't tend to lag "for ten frames", but for "ten ms". Your application that skips ten frames at 100 Hz will skip a hundred frames at 1 KHz.
Or you can think of it in the opposite manner, they could just sell all of the $500 spec'd chips as $500 chips and miss out on an entire market of people that could use a lower spec'd chip at $200.

But that's besides the point. If I'm buying a $500 chip, I want that chip. The one that passed, qualified and is guaranteed at that speed by the manufacturer. I don't want a $200 chip that you hacked to happen to be able to run at that speed.

If you want to buy that $200 chip and hack it to run at $500 speeds go for it, there's nothing wrong with that.

"Flicker can be perceived during saccades at frequencies in excess of 1 kHz"

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/147715351243636...

"The temporal modulation appeared as a spatial pattern known as a ‘phantom array’ during the saccade. The appearance of the pattern enabled the discrimination of flicker from steady light at frequencies that in 11 observers averaged 1.98 kHz."

I personally can see it at substantially higher frequencies. And note that displaying 2kHz flicker requires a 4kHz monitor.
