There is a QEMU fork used by Nyx fuzzer, may be interesting to you https://github.com/nyx-fuzz/QEMU-Nyx

Basically, for the fuzzing purposes speed is paramount so they made some changes to speed up snapshot restoring. Don't know the limitations but since it is used to fuzz full operating systems, there should not be many.

I believe it should be faster than forking because why even patch QEMU otherwise.
We’re all just wasting time until someone figures out how to make wafers into shells that nest together into spheres, right? People talk about the end of Moore’s law and such, but we’ve still got a whole other dimension to work with…

Gosh, if they let me handle this chip design stuff, I’d have it figured out in no time! Looks easy.
You nailed it with the resource curse.
Not the GP, but as an EE I can tell you that the majority of boards are not forgiving. One bad connection or one wrong component often means the circuit just doesn't work. One bad footprint often means the board is worthless.

On top of that, making an AI that can regurgitate simple textbook circuits and connect them together in reasonable ways is only the first step towards a much more difficult goal. More subtle problems in electronics design are all about context-dependent interactions between systems.

To me this article is super valid for most software projects.

As for the Netscape anecdote, I wouldn't put too much weight on that part.

We do not know the extent of it, we do not know if it achieved its goals, and we absolutely can not say whether or not the alleged rewrite contributed to or affected the evolution of the product into firefox and eventually chrome etc
I see you've never lived next to an Airbnb.
Should mention, the coolest part is that I never sent over "all" the memory used by the process, because it was difficult to tell what is needed and what isn't. Instead, I was clever with virtual memory, and when a page of memory was needed that wasn't loaded by the recipient Pi, it would request and lazy-load just that page from the provider Pi, and with some careful bookkeeping mark that the page was owned by the recipient Pi.
The problems with C# are many.

It's tied to .NET at the hip - there are no 3rd party implementations (Mono is effectively dead, correct me if I'm wrong), it's development is effectively solely driven by Microsoft, and every few years you have to rewrite all your things or get stuck on EOL versions of frameworks or abandoned tooling. The community is also vastly different in that it does not (yet) value open source and many different implementations of ideas (ie. there's an official Microsoft way to do X and that's what everyone does).

C# might be a fine language, but it's coupling to .NET and Microsoft are kind of a liability.

Java has a ton of warts, and it's not the language I'd choose today. However, it's ecosystem is FOSS-first and is immense in size and scope, has numerous options for any type of library/framework (take a loot at HTTP clients, or logging frameworks, or web frameworks, etc), and while Oracle primarily drives development they don't get the de facto final say anymore. There's also many JVM implementations and many class library implementations - all with different pro's and cons.

Perhaps .NET will get there one day. It is, after all, relatively new at FOSS/XPlat.
Non-open source development seems incredibly hard to pull off. Apple is basically the one and only company that's not suffering too badly for doing their own thing.

> If they allow any dependence on a community that includes the West, it will be snatched away simply for the sake of damaging China.

I don't think the West cares, at all. In this issue in specific & in general. I'm in DC. We don't have jobs or openings to go screw with China here. Yeah, we go help our ally the Philippines when for example China is sending dudes with swords to attack resupply missions, and yeah there's some politics & optics, but the West would, I believe, love to see a successful & prosperous & healthy China rise, if it could do so without having to exploit or aggress to do so. The jobs in DC are to try to plan for & work towards a civil world. We don't have troll farms here. We don't have giant disinformation machines (well, to be fair we have Fox News & other machinery in the pockets of the ultra capitalists).

It's really hard for me to imagine what HarmonyOS sabotage would like. It's hard for me to imagine Apple or Google or Salesforce or Shopify or whomever going out of their way to go screw with a competing OS. I don't see the CIA or NSA or whomever taking action. I do think there probably is a bit of a fear/control based response Huawei is going through, but the risk of becoming ungovernable seems very low to me. You can still own and moderate an open source project, an open community. You can still steer your own open source effort.

It's so hard for me to imagine the kind of organic growth that leads to lasting success happening, if Huawei stays on such a narrow productized track for their OS. There's such a deep irony to me that the Western socialization of software has served us so so well, but so few other places seem to be able to recreate those values & get that same engagement & organic growth.

That is a worse system, and this public policy change is preferable to poor people having to be live in workers.
In my experience they are very strict about finding a “safe” place to pick up and drop off, which often means turning onto a small side street or looking for a gap in parked cars. They won’t block traffic like a Lyft/Uber driver might.

Having seen what excess tourism can do - yeah, sounds right. But the tourism economy is very likely much more elastic than the non-tourist businesses that have already left town. Reversing the damage may take a long time or may never happen.
The cost/student doesn't go down just because local housing prices go down--which is where a lot of local taxes go to--and, in fact, the cost/student often goes up if you increase the population density.
Hotels with similar amenities are usually priced at absurdly high rates for corporate clients.

The place you linked to has the equivalent of a studio apartment with no laundry machine going for over 9000 CAD for a month. AirBnB has plenty of one bedrooms going for a third of that.
The org I work for recently signed a small (5-user) enterprise agreement with a popular web-based form solution provider for $5k. When I asked them to enable SSO, they asked for an additional $2.5k, which I felt was ridiculous. This is why we didn't do SSO.
Here's the original article - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ado1459

and the thesis:

> Rapa Nui (Easter Island) is often used as an example of how overexploitation of limited resources resulted in a catastrophic population collapse. A vital component of this narrative is that the rapid rise and fall of pre-contact Rapanui population growth rates was driven by the construction and overexploitation of once extensive rock gardens. However, the extent of island-wide rock gardening, while key for understanding food systems and demography, must be better understood ... We show that the extent of this agricultural infrastructure is substantially less than previously claimed and likely could not have supported the large population sizes that have been assumed.

Tl;dr - Any argument about population collapse doesn't make sense as the maximum population is overestimated.
Overpriced relative to a long-term rental in the same area.

Airbnb is a nightly rate that competes with hotel pries. Long-term rentals are a monthly rate that is usually much less than the nightly rate of a hotel or Airbnb.

Example: A hotel near my house is about ~$400/night. Or ~$12,000/month. Rent for a 1-bed apartment across the street is about $3000/month.

For boring line of business and crud applications there is almost no difference with latest versions of Java, and the feature gap closes with every release.

I recently finished (however much you can "finish" software) a project in Kotlin and probably won't be using it in the future. Compilation time, although much improved by recent releases, is still twice as slow as Java, you only get decent support for the language in IDEA (which makes sense since the officially stated goal of releasing Kotlin was to drive sales of their IDEs), and feature-wise the only thing it really has over Java is null safety, which is solvable through other means.

You get all the other problems of using a "guest" language (of which there have been many before — most of them long dead) like the disconnect between read-only data classes and records, which necessitates the use of @JvmRecord when you need specifically a record. This disconnect between the language and the JVM too will continue to widen.

Pharma was eye-opening (and, personally, infuriating) regarding problems with the FDA, drug approvals, individual inspectors, the industry-to-regulator (or vice versa) revolving door, and so on. You're not wrong that there are problems within the system and the individuals that work within it.

However, considering things like the polarized political climate, or certain parties proposals to tear the administrative branches apart I don't believe it would be productive to highlight or put forward the names of specific individuals within agencies like the FDA. I do think more public scrutiny or just light shedding upon the process could be good, but I don't see how enabling a raft of death threats or public name dragging would help.
It is the whole point. ZKPs are useless if you can't do them remotely.

If you think zoning is authoritarian, you also think a bunch of normal, everyday measures are authoritarian.
> The math don't math. It's a drop in the bucket.

Since this is HN, I was expecting a little more rigor in proving the math not mathing: how many people can be housed in 15 000[1] + 10 000 houses? How small is the drop and how big is the bucket?

From sibling comment, average density is 2.51 people per home * 25k houses which works out to 62 750 housed people out of the 100 000 population growth. If my math is correct, that is significantly more than a drop in the bucket, considering the Airbnb component is 40% of that number, or just over 25k people - which is a big drop indeed for a 100k bucket

[1] Edit: I later realized your comment has numbers from multiple time windows. Substitute "15 000" with whatever number of houses were built/added in the past 4 years.
Too bad prop 13 means prices would have to drop significantly before any longterm CA homeowner would see any drop. And the valuation dropping that much wiping out so much of their "on paper" wealth would be very unpopular.

I did not. Read more carefully. It’s “totally” a sign but it’s neither the worst nor the only one.

I have. I quit because of it. Imposed metrics and untold amounts of time gaming them to avoid losing one’s job was just one part of it. Most of the ones you mentioned in your first reply were also there.
Vendor contracts typically have both termination and change of control clauses. In general, you can negotiate for more security, but you will pay heavily for it. The typical contract though contains very little in the way of customer protection.

Technically, when companies choose a vendor, they should consider risks like a company suddenly being acquired. In practice, it’s quite hard to assign an actual number to that column - it’s almost always a risk but it’s extremely hard to quantify. You’ll often hear things like “every vendor could be acquired so that counts equally for all choices” when that risk gets discussed.
Spain is the one the de densest countries if not the densest country in Europe. Most people live in flats in dense cities.
Yep - I use LibreChat (and other services) via OpenAI API, and I save an incredible amount of time having it write boilerplate code, verify stuff in code, double check it after I've already reviewed something to see if I missed x or y, ask questions based on it which I can't figure out to get ideas etc etc.

It's also exceptional at making IEPs/Learning Plans for certain things I'd like to learn for the week etc which I am already somewhat familiar with. I use it as a rough guide and it has worked well so far.
For me, 2 nights or less then I look for a hotel. The reliability is important. But more nights, I prefer an AirBnB. I can cook meals, wash clothes, and it just feels more comfortable.
Yes, that's how acqui-hiring goes. Idk. Anything is noteworthy when OpenAI does it, I suppose?
Your property is still subject to local and national laws and regulations, it's not some lawless piece of property where you can do whatever you want just because your name is on the property document.

I might own my own apartment, but I can't turn it into a pub, I can't turn it into a disco, I can't turn it into an auto service garage, I can't grow weed in it, I can't turn it into a shop, all these I can't do because it will negatively affect the life of my neighbors.

Weird example with the "Java 8 exception handling":

catch (Exception e) {
if (e instanceof IOException) {
} else if (e instanceof SQLException) {
} else if (e instanceof NumberFormatException) {
} else {
}
}

Older Javas already allowed choosing which Exceptions (and subclasses) to catch directly.
interestingly the NYC yellow cabs were recording all this data for a while and released it in an "anonymized" dataset, which turned out to be pretty easy to deanonymize because people tend to be picked up or dropped off near their homes or workplaces.

i think the answer is just that you don't have much meaningful privacy when using a taxi service in a normal way.
Yeah, I agree. I think the change is a step in the right direction to address this specific concern. I think there will be some unintended consequences like loss of tourism dollars which will impact small business, but those concerns seem less important to voters.

Still, I fear that people generally look to politics for simple, one sentence solutions to problems which take decades to manifest.

Barcelona is the 68th densest city in the world. You look at a satellite map and you can see they have a very well planned city layout. It's dense and filled with tall buildings.

At some point the only lever left to pull is outright banning of foreigners. I'm not condoning that policy - just trying to highlight the futility of attempting to protect a desirable area from overpopulation.

I love Java, I love the ecosystem. It's been a 25 year journey.

I will be the first to admit that I have not adopted "modern Java", mostly with all of the functional stuff (notably all of the collection streams and what not).

I certainly enjoy easy lambdas, but I don't necessarily code stuff up that way.

I'm not big on locked down classes, as a general rule. I won't say I never use "private", but it wouldn't bother me if that didn't exist. I can't say I'd "never" use records, but I'm so used to the boiler plate, I don't really see it any more.

My one issue, though, is simply how heavy handed the Java 9 module system is. I have a desktop app, and I use the module system to lighten up the JRE that it bundles. But that's an edge case (to me).

I'm just not a fan of it, I find it gets in the way more than anything, and it just seems more forced than optional.

Outside of building JREs, does anyone use the module system for anything?

You can still rent an apartment for months. It is going to be probably cheaper and as a tenant you will have legal protections that AirBnB users do not have.

> How will they limit temporal renting

Like any other illegal activity. My best guess is that the police will act when neighbors complain about noise or other nuisances. The fact that it is illegal will make easy to evict the occupants and fine the owner.
Yeah, we ran Win95 on a 386 with only 4 MB of RAM, and it worked, but it was not a pleasurable experience.

> And if your bank owns the home rather than you, falling prices screw you over because you owe far more to the bank than you could make by selling.

So like what 99% of homes? If you rent you don't own it, if you own a condo you don't own it, if you own a house outright you are probably close to 1%.

Most of Barcelona is rent/condos. There is not a ton of 250m2 mansions in downtown Barcelona.
Hotels go through an approval process to be built, and are regulated (where as AirBnB exists to skirt lodging regulation). Hotels are not competing against residential housing, but AirBnB is.
I am covered in ink from my ears to my toes. I got a lot of my work done when I was young, addicted to drugs, confused, and would splash whatever garbage I could on my body. Now I spend thousands of dollars fixing these mistakes. Make sure you know why and what you you want and if you aren't fully committed, don't. Good art costs, and good artists you wait to get into. Yes there are the rare exception but generally look for reputable shops, go through their artists catalogs and choose an artists who has a style you really like. Example: Don't take a realistic portrait piece to an artist who doesn't do portraits.
> it’s seen as an enterprise product

Seen? SMBs need to be SOC2 (et al., such as PCI-DSS or HIPAA), and the requirement of controlling all accounts’ permissions at all times is often fulfilled with SSO. How else would you “reset the user’s password after 3 attempts” if the attacker can try the password 3 times on… all of your intranet websites? let alone on Cloud products.

SOC2 is indeed seen as an enterprise feature, but giving access to SMBs strengthens the global security landscape.
Seems a bit of an odd fit for OpenAI. But I assume they had good reasons.
It's not really classic. There are many different kinds of exits, this one is pretty uncommon in my experience, especially for a company that's been around as long as it has and with the customers they have.
Pricing isn’t linear on the supply-demand curve.

Small marginal improvements in tight supply can result in noticeable price drops.

Which would certainly be welcome, even if greater supply still needs to be created.
Your "everyone" does not seem to include the maids and cooks, almost as if you consider them nobodies.
Covid was different because of the urgency. A nation which gets vaccine first could easily recoup much more than $5B when the rest of the world is closed.
Stéphane Graber (key Incus née LXD contributor) just did a video about developing placement scriptlets in the Starlark language but the interesting thing is, if I'm interpreting what I saw correctly, his cluster was 6 beefy servers plus 3 decent-sized VMs and the idea was, I think, that containers could get placed on the nested VMs, neatly solving the migration issue with containers. The interesting part was it looked like the 3 VMs in the cluster may have been themselves in the cluster.

I could be wrong, though. Interesting approach if true

> High drug prices also incentivize companies who don’t do R&D themselves to corner the market on existing drugs and raise prices.

High drug prices do not encourage cornering the market on drugs, for obvious reasons?

> As for “free ridership”, the US only has so much military and economic power to compel the rest of the world to give them money because THEY own certain molecules and not anybody else. It is actually totally absurd to think the US can unilaterally set prices because of a self-inflicted victim complex.

Most developed countries have sufficient rule of law that they won't sell a drug if the creator refuses to sell it in the country. If that can't be enforced, that's too bad - as it will leave us all worse off in the long-run.

> SSR developers still need full-stack knowledge, since they must write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript alongside the backend code

It's true, but it's a smaller scope, better & more stable documentation, and overall a smaller threshold to get going to add a form in passing to a SSR than getting going with a new ecosystem.

> unless you are OK with revisiting it to add a JSON API later to support additional use cases.

Adding another output format to an existing product is not a scary problem and usually not even a time consuming one, and best of all you can wait until it's actually needed. This includes endpoints for a CLI. Now the aren't shared either, so the HTML output can be adapted according to the needs of the website along its lifetime, and the debug endpoints' JSON output can be adapted according to the needs of the CLI along its lifetime.
But it's not just supply. The market rate for holiday letting has driven all lets up. Investors jump at a quick 10%.

This should depress prices, release rentals and sales. You're right, it's probably not enough, but like many urban centres, central Barcelona isn't that flexible.
