You would have a hard time convincing Israelis of this too. As if you should be left to fend for yourself when surrounded by enemies.
So just out of curiosity, what does this thing cost?
IDs don't really solve many problems. The issues with scripts removing all your files were either caused by the absurd bash spaces and quotes rules, or by bash silently ignoring nonexistent variables. Those scripts would still need paths, since the ID of ~/.steam will be different for everyone. Scripts that need to work on more than one system, and human-authored config files, would still have paths. There are cases where you want to depend on the path, not the identity of the folder, and potentially swap the folder with something else without editing configuration.

Explorer needs to support local drives, with a lot of filesystems, including possibly third-party ones, but also network drives, FTP, WebDAV, and a bunch of other niche things. Not all of them have IDs and might not be possible to be extended. The cost is massive, solving it everywhere is impossible, and the benefit seems negligible to me (even though I fairly recently managed to eject a disk image (vhdx) in the middle of copying files onto it…)
> Any reason you specifically like NixOS on WSL?

Pretty much the same reason I like NixOS on my Linux laptop and Nix-Darwin on my Macbook - single flake that I can use on all my machines so that they all behave in a predictable way.

I do most of my Rust development (with the exception of komorebi and whkd) on NixOS in WSL, using JetBrains IDEs running on Windows accessing projects in WSL and I haven't noticed anything causing churn, however I think this is probably language-dependent.

Generally I think it's a reasonable heuristic that any language which is a pain to develop with when source directories are mounted in Docker containers (JS/TS and the huge node_modules folders immediately jump out) will also have similar problems in WSL (though probably not _as_ bad).
I can't speak to RethinkDB's history but we're really focused on a specific use case which I think helps. Specifically, Triplit is made for web developers so we have great TS support, React and Svelte bindings, etc which makes adoption and marketing much easier.
The reason you seek to explore what you don't know is because you don't know what you don't know.

In general I don't think people really appreciate how ridiculously little we know about everything outside of our planet. Like for instance it was only in 2013 (!!!) that it was discovered that Mars' soil is relatively 'moist', about 2% water by mass. And that's just the topsoil layer - it's suggestive that below the surface it could well be even more moist.

But the Moon's much closer, so we must know more, right? Well water ice on the Moon was only confirmed in 2018!! [1] So actually starting to get surface samples, and explore more of the Moon, ideally with a rapid return to humans on it is so exciting because who knows what we'll find out next? The unknown is precisely what makes exploring the unknown so enticing, rewarding, and fun!

Gamescope is great but the fact that you can set multiple limits and switch between them makes me prefer MangoHUD, even though I also sometimes use gamescope (with Nvidia my experience with it has been a little bit hit or miss).

I suspect you're thinking of upstairs in the Golden computer arcade in ShamShuiPo. It's still there, but it was already "cleaned up" and respectable when I went back in 1999, having shifted focus almost entirely to business needs. I went back again a few years ago, and maybe it's just because I'm older or maybe it's because I've discovered HQB in Shenzhen, but it feels really boring now. You can at least still find the latest half-a-billion-in-one NES emulators downstairs, so that's always a good thing.

When I went in 1992, it was crazy. CDs didn't have much adoption for computers by then, so the market was still floppies - IIRC HK$10 per disk and another HK$10 for a photocopied manual. They'd take your money and phone up some guy and tell them the four digit code and 10 minutes later someone would hand you a stack of disks. It felt weird that it was so blatant, but the first time I went by myself, I couldn't find it and asked a policeman for directions. He said in English, "Oh, the copied stuff? Over there!" and pointed to it!

That said, I only ever bought 3 disks from there - partly because I didn't have much money, but mostly because I found the programming books downstairs even more interesting. They were translations of all the English programming books, for about HK$30 each. The text may have been all Chinese, but the source code wasn't, so I bought a couple of books just for the diagrams and the source code.

My guess is Labour once in power will move to undo some of the more stupid bits of Brexit like having different animal health regs so you can't export fish or meat without great difficulty. I can't see full rejoining in the near future but maybe becoming more like Norway or Switzerland.
> Could a part-time programmer like my father write small-business software today? Could he make it as safe and productive as our LAN was? Maybe. If he was canny, and stuck to old-fashioned desktops of the 90s and physically isolated the machines from the internet. But there is no chance you could get the records onto a modern phone safely (or even legally under HIPAA) with the hours my father gave the project.

Their father’s software likely was not HIPAA compliant or safe, just isolated. They speak earlier in the post about it being a permission-less file based database any computer could access, including his personal one. And that any innocuous command could potentially bring the whole thing down.

Certainly looking back with rose colored glasses to the situation. It probably did work great for his father’s needs but “safe and compliant with modern medical data protection laws” is was not.

I do think that a simpler approach to small business software like this example is not a bad goal. This was a great read. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a shot (even though it is proprietary and definitely not FOSS).
Convincing garbage too. I routinely have an argument with a friend who believes these, and thinks that a whole lot of studies pointing in the same direction is better evidence than only one. I Point out that it’s because those studies are all defined by the same person and run by the same people

This is where I get a bit lost in the spec, I think... Can the compiler know that the value of `i` is 0?

If yes, then the spec says regardless of how the implementation defines nullptr, assigning literal 0 to a pointer variable is assigning a nullptr (i.e. the compiler must turn `0` into whatever the nullptr is in the underlying implementation).

If no, then 0 is just some unknown value and the assignment gives you an implementation-dependent (not necessarily invalid) pointer to whatever address `0` means on this architecture.
Which includes the whole standard library.

The corresponding Java, C#, Python standards, equally with the standard library, are even bigger.

To come back to the point, many don't know how deceptively complex Python happens to be, even though on the surface looks like a BASIC replacement.
It was added in a backwards compatible way, but the author decided to make a breaking change with this release.

Every time I've seen statistics comparing, they disagree with your anecdote.

Spending two minutes to look on Wikipedia shows that, for example, comparing UK to USA: the UK is technically worse in "homeless per capita" (where homeless includes people forced to sleep in the houses of friends or family) - at 56.1 per 100k for UK, and 19.5 per 100k for USA. However when it comes to "unsheltered", i.e. what people generally think of "homeless" as meaning, and what's visible on streets, the US is far worse at 12 per 100k compared to UK's 0.9 per 100k. (France at 4.5 per 100k, Germany doesn't have a comparable number listed and I'm too lazy to look for one.)

I have lived in two of the European cities you mentioned, visited many others as well as a number of major US cities, and I agree that in all of them it is possible to see extremely depressing scenes with far too many people forces to live on the streets. But it's ridiculous to think you could compare any two city's homeless/unsheltered problems based on visiting or even living in those cities without actually studying the situation / looking at statistics.

Perhaps you read parent comment as implying there are literally zero homeless people in Europe, which obviously isn't true, and technically US and European unsheltered numbers are indeed "comparable" as I've just proven by comparing them - but I feel if the difference is the US having 12x as many people in that position it's misleading, to the point of being effectively wrong, to call that a comparable situation.
Haa, they have so many of them, I forgot.
My son used the "custom GPT" in ChatGPT a lot e.g., for Organic Chemistry and Advanced Biology. He said they saved him a ton of time as it explained basic concepts when he had trouble understanding the textbook (which is written in the most Orwellian manner possible). Before, he googled Libretext and Khan Academy etc., but the custom GPTs summarizes that information nicely.
Generally speaking, this is not correct. Base Xtensa is not VLIW, but Xtensa's various vector extensions do allow VLIW instructions, collectively called "FLIX."

It is doubtful that ESP32's Xtensa is VLIW-capable, though. Presumably their compiler would emit FLIX instructions if it were.

Does this mean then that your employer gets to control your actions because it’s their dollars funding your actions?

...yes. That's what a job is. There are also off-duty codes of conduct employees must adhere to.

That’s why the government is accountable to you, not because of your tax dollars.

> You seem to ignore that different users, different use cases, different environments, etc. all need to be taken into account when choosing a tool.

I have worked on projects that are extremely sensitive to extra dependencies and projects that aren't.

Sometimes I am in an underground bunker and each dependency goes through an 18 month Department of Defense vetting process, and "Just install python" is equivalent to "just don't do the project". Other times I have worked on projects where tech debt was an afterthought because we didn't know if the code would still be around in a week and re-writing was a real option, so bringing in a dependency for a single command was worthwhile if we could solve the problem now.

There is appetite for risk, desire for control, need for flexibility, and many other factors just as you stated that DonHopkins is ignoring or unaware of.

The problem with police entrapment isn't that the bag contains oregano instead of real marijuana. Rather it's the creation of new "crime" that wouldn't have happened otherwise. So with Ashley Madison it's not so much the bot dynamic itself creating the distinction, but rather all the push advertising getting people to sign up out of curiosity when they perhaps wouldn't have sought such a thing out otherwise.
I understand your point, but you're overlooking who does the adapting. Oral stories were naturally updated with each generation, and I think that's wonderful. However, in this case, we're discussing literature being adapted by a global corporation with shareholders aiming to please a broad audience.

I'm inclined to say it's mostly inertia.

As with any monopoly, the incentives for public school administrators are all out of wack. Adding a CS curricula takes real time and effort (lost summer vacation time, effort required to convince the board/PTA, picking a curriculum, hiring teachers for an unfamiliar topic). It brings with it real risks and headaches (budget issues, vulnerability/ignorance in a new domain, possible failure/embarrassment, board/PTA conflict, dissatisfied students/parents). Meanwhile the benefits are not tangible and the cost of not implementing a new CS curriculum is zero.

For public school administrators (as with all process owners) it's far easier to simply repeat what they did last year.

This piece is basically just arguing that RBG was right about Roe [0]. Eliminating the crutch that was Roe allowed the legislative process to finally begin to work in a cultural environment that has changed dramatically since the 70s.

> “My criticism of Roe is that it seemed to have stopped the momentum on the side of change,” Ginsburg said. She would’ve preferred that abortion rights be secured more gradually, in a process that included state legislatures and the courts, she added. Ginsburg also was troubled that the focus on Roe was on a right to privacy, rather than women’s rights.

It's been messy and complicated, but I think we're already seeing a shift in public opinion since Dobbs as people see what the extreme right actually wants to do. Even Republican perspectives have shifted dramatically in the last two years [1].

Seek we must, but will we find something?

Complexity science is the major remaining terra-incognita of our era. The allure of seeking to break into such a genuinely new domain is strong. The intellectual (and not only) rewards would obviously be beyond compare. The dimensional extremes probed by "standard" micro and macro physics are increasingly into diminishing returns. Thousands of people, gargantuan budgets and devices etc. but in a macro sense, rather disappointing progress: Our mental toolkit and understanding of the world in 2024 is not that different from that the Einstein/Bohr era circa 1924. It has been an era of fleshing out the details, magnificent and more productive than any previous period of history, but it saturated without turning things upside-down.

All the while, complexity is all around us, even inside us. Mysterious, defying attempts at description, let alone explanation. One can setup experiments for next to nothing. Complexity is very "accessible". So why is it still a sketch of field rather than an actual field?

If the constraints are not external then they must be internal (cognitive limitations, blind spots etc). For sure we lack mathematical tools. But maybe we lack even an adequate set of relevant pre-mathematical notions, these vague but powerful concepts that precede the sharper analytical tools and elaborate equations.

One think is for sure: Very smart people have tried very hard and if you are going to see further you must (at least) climb on their shoulders :-)

That depends how dangerous you want air travel to be. The world is currently spending way too much on air travel security, the number of deaths is too low compared to automobile travel.
If that is your position, it makes sense.

I didn't recognize it as your position because you presented "Developers must avoid UB in their code, at all costs" as supporting the preceding statement "This post has no point;" if your point is "developers should remove UB when they see it," then the point of this post is helping people see what UB looks like at the next layer of abstraction down as an aid to identifying and removing it.

(The C++ standard is over 2,000 pages. It's impractical to believe developers see UB by reading the C++ source code; most is identified by an application behaving incorrectly followed by inspection of the machine code to understand where the developer's assumptions about the C++ specification failed to match with the actual specification).
I'm currently undecided between endeavour and Fedora. Fedora updates every 6 months, which is recent enough for me, vs years old major versions of things on Debian / Ubuntu.
Like yours, many responses to this research make the appeal to nature: natural things are good and unnatural things are bad. However, that misses the point because xylitol does occur naturally. It is produced by our bodies and is found in some fruits. It isn't a novel compound created in a lab.

The human desire for sweet foods is also quite natural. Sweetness is one of the fundamental tastes that humans can detect, and we naturally seek out sweet foods.

Regarding signed overflow, I find it extremely useful that it is UB which allows me to instruct the compiler to insert a trap. This is very helpful to find bugs. For the same reason, the Linux kernel community (or some of them) want an attribute what would make overflow of annotated unsigned types also be UB.
