That's a good example! The topics in question are created by the Kafka Streams client library using the standard Kafka APIs, so it works just fine with Bufstream. The Kafka ecosystem takes a thick client approach to many problems, so the same answer applies to many similar Kafka-adjacent systems.

There are, of course, some internal details that Bufstream doesn't recreate. We haven't seen many cases where application logic relies directly on the double-underscore internal topics, though - especially since much of that information is also exposed via admin APIs that Bufstream _does_ implement.
The problem is the editor, it still needs too much RAM when Unity doesn't, and that makes people drop it. Whether UE reduced the bloat indies would move instantly.
I don't have a problem with the logic, I'm just not sure why I should care. I imagine Edge probably can do magic stuff on microsoft sites that it can't on the rest of the web too. It makes sense for the browser to have a higher level of trust for the company that makes it than it does for the wider web.

Of course it is stupid, the question is whether you have an alternative that isn't stupid and respects all the regulation/certification requirements.
That can be true. Money is sort of like appearance, you might get nothing back if you have a lot of it, but your life is going to be miserable if you don't have it.
The first moon landing wasn’t going to have live video (heavy, contributes nothing to functionality or telemetry, so a total waste of fuel).

I'm trying to figure out where our understandings differ, since that generally sounds familiar and reasonable to me. I guess you're assuming the callback/accounting code needs to be unsafe or able to violate the GC's preconditions? But I don't see why you assume that. As part of the GC, build some data structures that can handle that accounting and present a safe API, then use those data structures anywhere you don't want to create a root. When the browser code accesses the contents, barriers can be applied automatically.

The hard part of using a data structure like that is giving it ownership of the data and control over destroying it, but Rc does that too, doesn't it? That kind of thing is why I mentioned Rc. The difference between Rc and GC is much more in the behind-the-scenes tracking than in the API it gives.

It's not at all unlikely. Most large projects i've worked on have need some element of custom building. Generation of files, compiling native code, multiple separate test suites, etc. The Gradle developers didn't just add that flexibility because they felt like it, there's a genuine need that Maven does not meet.
yes the resource monitoring and alerting on meet was instrumental to my decision to cancel all other software subscriptions and give all my money to google
I hadn't considered the interpretation where "bank" is a verb. Thank you for clarifying, this was driving me crazy!

The semantics of "how you <do thing> can screw you over" is still a bit odd, as "screw over" is typically done by people in the English language ("the mailman screwed me over" reads better than "the mailbox screwed me over" or "how I closed the mailbox screwed me over"), but that's less egregious than the obvious typo I took it for (assuming noun form of "bank"). I digress...
I could not justify labels printer for number of packages we ship (we do sell online, but most stuff is handled by Amazon's fba service). But also had to send federal paper tax forms, because in order to file online you have to confirm address which is done with pin code sent via snail mail to our address and that's wouldn't happen before due date... Also filling property appraisal protests evidence can be done on USB stick or CD disk, but the most reliable way is just to print 5 copies and bring it to the protest hearing... These just recent odd things I had to print. All in all printers are still useful sometimes. The only thing is that with my usage ink printers are no go. So cheapish laser printer, with cheap aftermarket cartridges available in eBay is the way to go for me

> What about this one

This is not the kind of thing Aaronson is actually asking about. He's not asking about a function f that outputs 1 if God exists or 0 if God doesn't exist. He's asking about a label f that refers to the function f1 (that just outputs 1) if God exists or the function f0 (that just outputs 0) if God doesn't exist. To me the question is not about computability at all, it's about labels.
I think cases like these do the trick. When I was in school cell phones had just become a thing. I know of two separate incidents which were referred to the police. It gave the kids involved a pretty serious scare and then the police gave a talk at the school and put the fear in everyone else. Kids are dumb but not dumb enough to commit serious crimes, once they actually understand it's a crime that would be taken seriously.
I'm not convinced that matters much in 2024, especially when this article singles out safety critical systems. Such systems are likely to be fairly expensive to being with, so the marginal cost of adding a display would be minuscule compared to testing and regulatory costs (not to mention the increase in fault tolerance versus a failed segment causing an incorrect reading).
it's a public service that nobody else is able to do, and if nobody does it, the result is catastrophe: legislating the value of pi, creationism in schools, prohibitions on glassware and borax and teflon, lynchings for witchcraft, acid attacks on girls for attending school, the ransomware pandemic, boko haram, the cambodian mass executions for wearing glasses or speaking french

I've unlearned over my years that trying to come up with what malicious actors can do under what scenarios and conditions isn't worth the effort, because they are many, know more than me, have different goals than me, and I am one. There's endless permutations of environments and additional weakness or scenarios or a particular sensitivity of information that you don't or can't consider that make some attack really painful. For this case, maybe CPU usage or aggregate changes in CPU usage tips off an attacker on what someone is ramping up internally that can be used for espionage or even timing attacks.

What I have learned in place of that is plug holes to minimize attack vectors.

Some people remember when the government went after Microsoft for having secret APIs that only IE could use.

Thanks for pointing that article out. It made me reconsider whether it’s wise to keep money in Mercury.

EDIT: this rabbit hole goes deep. https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/16/a-us-trustee-wants-trouble... "San Francisco-based Synapse, which operated a platform enabling banks and fintech companies to develop financial services, was founded in 2014 by Bryan Keltner and Pathak. It was providing those types of services as an intermediary between banking partner Evolve Bank & Trust and business banking startup Mercury, among others."

Mercury is by far the best bank I’ve ever used. But they’re not actually a bank, just a partner to one, and the foundations seem shakier than they appeared.

I hadn’t really stopped to consider "what if Mercury goes out of business?" till now. Silicon Valley Bank seemed like a one-off disaster, but now I’m not so sure.

Is there any bank that isn’t awful? Even just reliable wire transfers was beyond the capabilities of US Bank, for example, and it was a business account.
Especially when you consider Apple's tactics in all that. You don't have to be tech literate to think something is weird when Apple is sending lawyers and lobbyists to Nebraska to side with John Deere to make it hard for farmers to repair their equipment. If anything, I think it radicalized a lot more people because it was an explicit demonstration of how they don't want you to repair and instead want you to buy new things. I think this was one of the big contributing reasons why the right turned so much on tech in general, because they can always use the message of farmers.

Which I still dislike Apple for and think it is hypocritical that they market themselves so much around recycled electronics and parts. We've all seen those open fires in third world countries. Making their products out of recycled materials is great, but preventing them from being upgradable and repairable undermines that entire message. The problem is that there's no good choices and creating a new competitor is exceptionally difficult. The market is cornered by two players and they have similar incentives. That's not good for consumers, that's not good for innovation, it's not good for the economy, and it isn't even good for those two players (in short term, yes, but not in the long run. But being short sighted is quite frankly what led us here in the first place).

situation will only improve when arm is made acessible to the masses..

i think this will go a bit like secure boot.. it existed for ages, it only became a real available in every computer when MS got behind it and made it happen..

now you can install even most linux distros without a problem and it just work..

arm will be a pain in the beginning but having microsoft backing it might the best way to make it happen..

i am curious to see how microsoft, that historically aim to keep backward compatibility as much as possible, will handle such a braking change like this move to arm..

but one could argue that this breaking change might be what they need to just get rid of some legacy stuff..

This is exactly why I hew to squash+rebase. As I like to put it "I don't care about every little sneeze a developer had." Git has spoiled me with this, where I have the power to commit to my private repo anything I damn well please, but in the end I can clean things up and keep the central repo clean and bisectable[0].

Any VCS that doesn't offer these (squash, rebase, bisect) is a complete non-starter for me.

- don’t plan a trip around a rocket launch. They get scrubbed all the time. Find something else you want to do in the area (even a few hours away, such as Miami) and then make a game time decision to go if the launch is likely to happen. That said, the Kennedy space center visitors complex is fantastic, especially with kids, and is worth a short trip with or without a launch.

make sure you have a backup plan or at least flexibility. We tried a couple times to see a shuttle launch as a child. Literally as we were coming up on the cross roads between Titusville and Orlando, the first launch attempt scrubbed. so we ended up at Disney a day early.
Exactly. If a manufacturer finds that it will sell 5% more simply by labeling something "artisanal" then they will label all of their products "artisanal." How is Etsy going to know if product number 12,440,911 is artisanal or not. Like "organic," I don't even know what artisanal means anymore. They have become magic checkbox words that increase sales.

+1, pg is using a pretty typical argument you see in analysis/topology.

If you want to get to real analysis/topology the typical sequence is

1. Logic and Set theory (recommendation: How to Prove It, Velleman)

2. Linear Algebra (don't have a good recommendation)

3a. Real analysis (recommendation: PMA, Rudin)

3b. Topology (recommendation: Topology, Munkres)

I'm not sure I'd recommend learning math. It's an extremely expensive skill -- though pretty valuable in the software industry. People who go learn math are generally just drawn to it; you can't stop them even if you wanted to.

But be aware, (1) you'll have no one to talk about math with. And (2) you'll be joining a club of all the outcasts in society, including the Unabomber.
I don't fully agree either, but some of them make sense. But, some of them do make enough sense for some kind of critical applications, that it is worth to consider the alternatives (although power usage should also be considered).

As items (iii) (although it incorrectly says "(ii)") and (iv) of the caption of figure 1, are reasonable considerations.

There is also the consideration of faulty displays, in case a segment stops working (although you can mitigate this problem somewhat, by adding a test switch to light up all of the segments).

About decimals, one possibility (depending on the application) is to require a fixed position for the decimal point and add a wider gap between the digits at that position, which improves the clarity.

They also mention, "the user cannot see the difference between entering zero, or entering zero then decimal point". This is a problem on many hand-held calculators but it is easy to avoid, by not displaying the decimal point unless it has been entered explicitly (or if the result is being displayed).

Upsidedown (also mentioned in the article) is also a reasonable consideration, although there are ways to mitigate that too.

> So, it may be a bit expensive but in the end you get a rocket,

They already had a rocket. It was called Ariane 5 and it was being evolved into Ariane 5 ME (that where Ariane 6 got its upper stage engine from).

> a workforce who knows how to design and build rockets

Instead of designing a new rocket that is essentially a minimal upgrade of the existing design, you actually get a workforce who knows how to design an actual modern rocket. Not a design that is inspired by Space Shuttle.

> therefore a local solution must be developed even if its not the most cost effective

... they already had a local solution.

> It also must help train and retain local talent and distribute funds to participating parties.

You can do that by investing in future technology, not minimal upgrades over existing technology.

The reality is simply. It will require 50+ launches for Ariane 6 to be worth it and likely more. And launches that were subsidized, like those they sold to Amazon don't really count.

So the reality is, they could have continue Ariane 5 for a few more years, put some of the lighter payloads on commercial US rockets. And then invest those 5-6 billion $ into an actual modern rocket design.

As it stands, with Ariane 6 Europe is now stuck with a 80s rocket design until likely 2040.
If you are working on a large collaborative project, switching between branches can mean needing to rebuild your container images.

As someone who has a very specific taste in video games, I beg to differ. If you happen to exist in the space targeted by AAA or if you don't have strong preferences for what you get out of an indie game the status quo is fine, but it's been a while since I've found a game I hadn't played before that scratches the itch.

This is pretty interesting, and I have conflicted feelings about the (seemingly obvious) outcome of this trial.

I wonder, if MS and OpenAI win, does that mean it will be legal for anyone to take the leaked source code for a proprietary product, train an LLM on it, and then ask the LLM to emit a version of it that is different enough to avoid copyright infringement?

That would be quite the double-edged sword for proprietary software companies.

I have something like this for a rental property, but I designed it like an aircraft QRH (Quick Reference Handbook). It’s organized by system, like in the article (Electrical, Plumbing, Telecom, etc.), but the subtopics are problems: “Internet Outage”, “Water Leak”, “Loss of Heat”, etc. The checklists within are ordered to get quick diagnosis—for example, the “Loss of Heat” one starts with something like:

—-

Propane Tank Gauge -> greater than 15% (if less, skip to “Fuel Exhaustion”)

Check Pilots

* relighting procedure *

Fuel Exhaustion

* instructions for setting up space heaters *

* instructions to page propane company on-call *

—-

The idea is that I can literally tell anyone to flip open the book and have them save the house in whatever way it needs saving. There are also more mundane things in there too which end up being annoyances like “Lost TV remote” with instructions to program a spare from scratch.
