Centralization is also fragile, a single point of failure, which fails without fail. even quantum mechanics doesn’t make a decision in advance.
Why should it matter? It's an extremely niche technology that's only interesting to some home users. I see no reasons why other users should care about a RAID level they're not interested in.

(I don't use btrfs or any other COW filesystem because of significantly worse performance with some kinds of workloads, but it has nothing to do with maturity of any of them.)

>There were two reasons why. One was that there is no easy path to our grocery store (unless you’re in a car, of course):

Where I live, walking in suburbs is not an issue, neither is biking, no matter where.

But a relative had a 4 month summer job stint in the midwest and they put him up in a wealthy suburban home. So, I brought my bicycle to explore the area for a 2 week visit.

Riding in that area was damn scary, and I have ridden my bicycle many places, including NYC, Philadelphia, Montreal and Boston. I would never do that again where he lived. There were no shoulders or sidewalks on any of the regular roads. The drives seemed intent on killing me on purpose, during the rides I was being beeped at and sideswiped non stop.

Visiting other areas in the midwest since, I would drive around and seems those areas are designed for cars and nothing else.

So I would think in Texas, this would be true even to a greater extent.

All I can say to the person, is good luck.

The exchange does but you have to earn it.

Example

So lets say you have a 10,000 USD perp call position on BTC. You are levered (lets say 10x). You suddenly get rekt because of some news. Your PnL is -10,000 USD with the DEX and we will give you USD 10,000 exchange credit at the end of the month. The following month when you trade, you can earn back the credit to withdraw by having at least USD 10,000 positive PnL. There is not limit to how much you use to trade so if you are a whale, you can have a 100K position and earn 10% which would allow you to get you to realize your USD 10,000.

If you helped build the stuff of which it is made, you can better create new things on top of it.

Small note that most credit cards allow you to artificially increase the credit card limit by simply contributing the payment on a zero balance.

Example, $0 balance, card limit $1k, pay onto the card $10k, card limit is now $11k.

$10k of that is really prepaid and $1k is truly credit, but it would have solved their problems given they had the cash on hand and mostly wanted to avoid declines on their cards due to draining the credit limit to $0.

The problem with other forms of payments is they're only usually accepted on a contract annual basis and you're now vendor locked for the remainder of the contract. You're also up fronting the capital to that vendor.

> Embedded projects are never about doing things as fast as computers: we have full scale computers (and routers, and firewalls, and switches) for that.

That's a bit of an overly broad statement.

I have several times at work done projects that use FPGAs to do things faster than a computer can do, e.g. some specific processing of a full 10Gbps UDP stream, which is much easier to get 100% reliable without packet drop in digital logic than it is in software land.

The FPGA+CPU combo allows you to do a LOT of things. I tend to use just a straight Zynq so I already have my memory buses wired up from processing system to digital logic, but this is an interesting architecture.
Firefox is currently 11.4% Rust, according to https://4e6.github.io/firefox-lang-stats/
Wouldn't be surprised it goes beyond 10B
Same question here. From one to eight threads typically doesn't account for 8x reduction directly. So if it's ten times faster, then I'd assume a single threaded Rust version made it at least twice as fast. Though I'd wager that a rewrite in Python, now starting out with full knowledge of the problem domain, would have likely also improved performance.
Different cultures, this seems a very Russian way of projecting power. Though I personally can think of at least two other actors who are just as likely to blame. At least this wasn't a "hurt people" power projection.

Western civilization, including most of the infrastructure, assumes good intentions of those around. How many times have teenagers independently realized the chassis they could cause just by pushing a waiting pedestrian into traffic? Trains have always been noted as an easy target.
My understanding is that RAID1 is just a mirror, and all disks have identical contents. Are you talking about something else?
Sure, but Lean has very little support for software problems compared to Isabelle, Coq or Dafny right now.

Those 3 also have a lot of training data as well. Hoping Lean gets more support as it is very friendly.

It steals drivers attention where focus should be 100% on whats happening on the road and around it. Every % of attention stolen is a big win for advertisement, and increases chances of bad accident. Do a bit of statistics on number of drives per day globally, number of accidents, increase that chance even by 1% (which is very debatable but in many cases its much more), and you get nice number of number of deaths and damages done daily by ad business around the roads.
> I'd be very interested to see how France responds.

I'd be interested to see if French businesses that chose to ignore the atrocities committed by Russia finally withdraw from that market.

France has a number of large businesses that are still cosy with Russia: Auchan, Leroy Merlin, Decathlon, L'Oreal, Sanofi, Lacoste, BIC… the list is very long (see https://leave-russia.org/).

I thought these companies would be concerned with customer boycotts, but it doesn't seem that people care that much, I guess until rockets and drones start falling on their heads…

Theorem proving can be formulated as a game, see e.g., https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-games/ and interactive theorem provers can verify that a proof is correct (and related sub problems, such as that a lemma application is valid).

Conceptually, if you're trying to show a conjunction, then it's the other player's turn and they ask you for a proof of a particular case. If you're trying to show a disjunction then it's your turn and you're picking a case. "Forall" is a potentially infinite conjunction, "exists" is a potentially infinite disjunction.

In classical logic this collapses somewhat, but the point is that this is still a search problem of the same kind. If you want to feel this for yourself, try out some proofs in lean or coq. :)

There is no objective other than to destroy the West and democracy and then rule with as much brutality as the conquered nations will bear. If they cannot achieve that objective they want to go down in flames with the rest of the world.

If you want to know how the Russian peace looks like read up on the partitions of Poland (economic exploitation, violent anti-semitism, deportations to Siberia, confiscation of property and land, russification, etc.) or the history of countries in Eastern Europe who found themselves inside the borders of Soviet Union or the Warsaw Pact. Persecutions, mass deportations, mass murders, torture, economic exploitation.

I really pity the African nations who got convinced to kick out Americans and the French. They will now get a taste of Russia and it will not be pretty.

See, that's what the multi-round, two-hour interview blocks are for. Each interview tests a different set of skills.

If you're testing on algorithm implementation and requirements gathering in thirty minutes, you're not testing for the skills you claim to be testing for. There's no way you're getting a good (let alone accurate) picture of the candidate's ability to gather requirements and implement those requirements, especially if your selection tactic is to deny them because they didn't get the PhD answer.

You're testing for how good of a minion this candidate will be.

The problem here is one of perspective. Interfaces in Go belong to consumers not producers.

You should be puzzled. You should always be puzzled when people say "witnesses told us", "anonymous intelligence officials said". It's what got us into plenty of wars we didn't need to be in. Especially when the authors are known to be in collusion with said intelligence agencies.

Interesting! I do love Elixir! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look!
Does “const” mean “immutable” and “constexpr” mean “compile-time” in C++? That’s funny.

As someone else pointed out: how is that different from losing a disk while running? Do you want the file system to stop working or become read-only if one disk is lost while running too? I think the bahviour should be the same on boot as while running.

Hi. I created a small word game and would love someone to give it a try and let me know what you think. Thanks!
If you look at the actual LOC stats (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1flUGg6Ut4bjtyWdyH_9e...), the rate at which the percentage of Rust code increases is pretty glacial: at the beginning of 2019 it was around 8%, mid 2020 (when the table ends) it got to ~ 12%. And today it's apparently at 11.4% (https://4e6.github.io/firefox-lang-stats/) - although I'm not sure if this is an apples-to-apples comparison, as the table compared Rust vs. C/C++, while the pie chart includes all code - incl. HTML, JS etc. If I take just the Rust and C/C++ from the pie chart, Rust would be at ~ 22%.
They could be embracing the North Korean model. You don't have to be competitive as long as you are untouchable. The elites get wealth and power, and the rest don't matter.
> No evidence to be shown of Russia's involvement in this

Only it fits their modus operandi perfectly, they were caught in similar acts all around Europe, Russian operatives were arrested in France as recently as last week (and a few weeks prior there was a guy who burned himself with chemicals trying to build a bomb in his hotel room), and a russian operative was arrested in Bulgaria yesterday bragging about Russian plans to disrupt the Olympics.

It's hard to imagine anyone else being involved. Of course there will be a thorough investigation.
If it's Russia, this is an attack on NATO.
I agree, there are tons of Russian apologists (at best, but let's assume best intentions) around here.
Terrorism is the weapon of the powerless. Russians know they cannot match NATO, so they are trying to disrupt the event they essentially banned themselves from.
In recent days, saboteurs from Russia have been identified through shared NATO intelligence as behind attacks across Europe.

It's worth mentioning that bcachefs has gotten a fair bit of performance work since the last round of Phoronix benchmarks. Also there's some bug where the formatting tool selected 512 byte blocks by default instead of 4k byte blocks on drives where other filesystems picked 4k bytes, which impacted the Phoronix benchmarks. Unsure if that has been fixed yet.
Difficult to draw conclusions with no code here.

An interesting thing they didn't mention is that Matplotlib's point-in-path code is actually already in C. So this isn't really a case of Rust being X times faster than Python, it's X times faster than some other C algorithm. That's probably why X is only ~4 (they don't actually give a single-thread comparison), instead of ~50.

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/cb487f3c077c93...

I expect the Rust code is faster because that code is waaaaay more complicated than what they probably need (https://stackoverflow.com/q/11716268/265521) - e.g. it handles stroke widths.

IMO this result is not very interesting.

While we're talking about this sort of architecture, I'd like to plug Elixir.

For some development hardware, we had Elixir running on the ARM of a Zynq Ultrascale, running in tandem with some digital logic. It required one C code "port" that integrated with UIO to expose the registers to our application and then we had a great programming environment.

Elixir for embedded doesn't get talked about that much, but that is actually the origin story of Erlang (software component of telephony hardware). Basic language features like binary pattern matching work very well, and the concurrency approach makes it very easy to write clean performant real-time software. We had a lot of functionality that did used digital logic and then had the stateful stuff in software and it worked very well.

Plus, I could then do stuff like trivially spin up a Web UI with a graphical display of all the register state, that updated live (Phoenix LiveView). And be happy that that running wasn't going to interfere with the realtime stuff.

We did this using Nerves which is a Linux platform set up to boot the BEAM and nothing else (e.g. no init system, just a special pid 0 binary that boots the BEAM and lets that handle all other processes). It had some plus points like making firmware upgrade trivial and simplifying the system, but not being a "normal" linux platform was a bit irritating sometimes. You could equally well just run Elixir as an application normally.

It's probably quite effective, but we don't know how effective because it's impossible to re-run the last 10 years without this and see what would have happened.
In theory, you have a point. However, in practice it doesn't matter. It is extremely unlikely that the code is written in a way where random, unknown implementations are being passed around and called.
Very unlikely. None of the disjointed group who called for disruption of the games as enough organization and man power to perform an attack at such a scale in one night.
I think maybe people thought I was asserting that it was generally a better solution… I was not.
