There are other technologies for this, such as DTrace. The kernel's choice isn't eBPF or nothing, it's eBPF or something else like it.

You may not use it much, but some people use it all day. I think FAANG engineers have said that they run tens (hundreds?) of these things on all servers, all the time. And that's excluding one-offs. And FAANG has full time kernel coders on staff, so they're also funding this complexity that they use.

But also yes, I've solved problems by using eBPF. Problems that are basically unsolvable by non-kernel-gurus without eBPF. I rarely need it. But when I need it, there's nothing else that does the trick.

In some cases, even for kernel gurus, it's a choice between eBPF or maintaining a custom kernel patch forever.

How about we merge the two definitions: efficient rule followers. Which is great when the rules are okayish (see older German cars, highways, handicraft...) and abysmal when they're random (bureaucracy, forced optimizations solely for the yearly bonus...).
In the case of the Challenger accident, the actual orbiter wasn't the problem. The seals on the solid rocket boosters were. That said, I don't know who was responsible for their design/manufacture.
I know some very famous people and have been in the press myself a few times. The general attitude among people the press covers is that reports of them, their business, and the reason they are in the press is distorted to the degree it's fabrication. The news is cat herding of economic waves various industries and power brokers are trying to create for their advantage. There is no "news" only economic manipulation, of every possible kind.
I had trouble with the pronunciation. I wouldn't throw Trump in a septic tank to put him out if he were on fire. The world is bigger than stereotypes and worst assumptions. Trumpers and adjacent gremlins aren't the only people vulnerable to mind-narrowing beliefs.
HIV has a crazy high mutation rate, way larger than other viruses like SARS-COV-2 or the influenza virus. In an infected untreated human, you have at least one copy of the HIV virus produced for each base pair mutation within a day or so. In other words, if there is a single base pair mutation that makes HIV resistant to a single drug, HIV will adapt quickly. So that's why they quickly discovered to do double therapy, and nowadays one does triple therapy even, so that a virus has to randomly become resistant to three drugs at the same time.

> I get that. Would need to check if we can integrate Ziti into Traefik in the same way we did for Nginx (https://blog.openziti.io/nginx-zerotrust-api-security) and Caddy (https://blog.openziti.io/put-some-ziti-in-your-caddy), which we did respectively using the C and Golang SDKs. Therefore you wouldn't need to change your ingress, you would just load Ziti as a module in it.

Yeah, this is why I was thinking that the easiest way to integrate would be a sidecar (and in general for random web serving payloads). I'm not ruling it out, but this was the major stopper -- it seemed easier to just rely on Cilium/Calico underneath to keep east-west comms encrypted between apps and k8s nodes.
> - The lack of control young people experience when it comes to their own lives (voting, etc) will worsen, if the median age is 80+ or older.

This is a really strong status-quo bias shared by many people who are pro-death.

Imagine a world where no one dies, but young people were indeed very sad, depressed, and generally unhappy because of the reasons you stated. Seeing this unfortunate situation, someone says "I have an idea. What if we killed everyone over 82?"

There is an almost infinite number of things you could try that aren't that. The fact that we happen to live in a world where an imperfect partial solution to young people being unhappy is "statistically everyone over 82 dies" doesn't make it a good world; it just means we have to fix unhappy young people in addition to fixing everyone dying.

This critique applies to most of your questions, with the exception of the finitude of resources. But if we can live just until the stars burn out, I'll call that a win over the current situation.
And in actually complex rhetoric, the discrete choices are typically phrased to benefit the one casting the argument as such. False Dilemma is still false even when it’s embedded in a larger tree.
As always with these massive corporate failures/crimes it turns out no one in any important position knew anything and it was a small group of low-level bad actors causing all the trouble. How sad that all these companies are plagued with this while the leadership is just trying to virtuously do good business!

Words have meaning. Insisting on proper usage is not gatekeeping. It’s like this with every new word; everybody wants to appropriate it to mean whatever they themselves are doing, in order to unfairly, and dishonestly, capitalize on the value the word signals. See also, for example, “ecological”, or “open source”. And they all complain about gatekeeping when they are called out, too.

these are very good ideas; thank you! by coincidence yesterday i was looking at some code i wrote in golang six years ago which uses this same approach to error handling for i/o errors. i wonder if you might be better off putting the error flag in the allocator rather than the individual string objects?

i do think parse, don't validate is much more difficult in c; c's type system is not strong enough to give you the kinds of soundness guarantees you get from ocaml or haskell. if you forget a type case in a switch, there's not a whole lot you can do to get the compiler to complain about it

the code i quoted above is from qmail-smtpd.c, which is 373 lines of code like the above and contains all of qmail's smtp input logic except for ip_scanbracket, which parses strings like [127.0.0.1] and is shared with dns.c. it's not clear to me that a parse, don't validate approach would consist of much more than just the parser

maybe using a parser generator for all your input and output handling would help? i'm still skeptical that something like a text editor or a macro processor is going to have a large body of code that is free of string handling
My reward in Rust is often when the code actually compiles...
Not the same, it will get you worse output and is harder to do right in practice.

It's true, in 2024 we're still stuck with HTML and JavaScript.

That's how _bad_ things are.
It's too dynamic/slow for me and the dependency system is a mess to the point where the entire Javascript world is better. Actually I forgot TypeScript, been using that for more than a decade now. So much better than the dark old days of JavaScript :)
There's a massive difference between astronauts dying in the process of testing something innovative and risky that pushes the envelope, and astronauts dying because a company has let its engineering deteriorate.

In the latter case, we might as well just shoot those astronauts instead, it'd give about the same meaning to their deaths.

Why not override the allocator functions and track the memory allocations and deallocations yourself?

You can do pretty much anything at that point (e.g., you can track memory allocations and deallocations at only the specific levels you care about)…
Pretty much every language has some kind of monad-based query builder. The standardized syntax is nice though.
> Why interpret at all?

a tiny part of points that come to my mind:

- education

- iteration on writing simple functionality

- loading and trying out several APIs to see what's possible (I use it frequently with Elixir / Erlang for example)

It makes life easier for newcomers to wrap their head around something and produce a good solution rather than a "working" one
We’ve also learned that starting off by rigidly defined spec is actually harmful to most user facing software, since customers change their minds so often and have a hard time knowing what they want right from the start.
What dies that have to do with anything?
Absolutely, we've tried lots of ways to formalise software specification and remove or minimise the amount of coding, and almost none of it has stuck other than creating high level languages and better code-level abstractions.

I think generative AI is already a "really good autocomplete" and will get better in that respect, I can even see it generating good starting points, but I don't think in its current form it will replace the act of programming.
C# has an official language server and an unofficial one (that unfortunately seems less maintained now). It works just fine with neovim.

Funny enough, it's the efforts of Omnisharp and the VSCode team that has so significantly improved the experience of using various other languages in open source editors due to the creation of LSP.
I'm saying it's risky, and not a model I'd recommend.

To me, the epitome of risky is just gifting a good chunk of equity to a marketing entity who has done nothing to earn it and whose character is unknown.

My proposal avoids this risk. The legal independence allows a non-working relationship to be easily unwound early on if need be --- by either party.

This sort of partnership is really built around mutual benefit while minimizing the possible effects of "faith" or "character". "Bad faith" can only lead to self harm and loss --- making it an irrational option.

The South African nuclear reactor was of course linked to their desire to have nuclear weapons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa_and_weapons_of_ma...

It's difficult to disentangle civilian power from nuclear weapons concerns. This is particularly important if you want to get a good historical understanding of the opposition to nuclear reactors.

- until the end of the cold war, many people considered the risk of nuclear war to be potentially imminent, while global warming was a comparatively distant threat. This is still a somewhat live political issue around Iran, and Israel/US security services devote a lot of effort to sabotaging the Iranian nuclear weapons industry

I think it's more interesting when you scope it to mass media system. I think kids using the internet to communicate directly with their peers and family makes a lot of sense. Kids consuming an infinite amount of media and trying to broadcast themselves to the whole world is very often unhealthy.

I think this is also true if adults, but I think kids are particularly susceptible to unhealthy habits / addictions around mass media systems.

Technically, how the narrative is established? What is the procedure?

When several news organizations follow the same narrative in a coordinated manner, is it because their editors just advertently sense "the party line"? Or the are some meetings where they are instructed? Or some written instructions distributed among them?

In Russian and Ukrainian practice I heard the term "themnik" - brief written instructions of how to present various themes.

Given that in the early post-soviet times, when this started, they all hired and learned from western (mostly american) political technologists, maybe this practice came from the west?

Have you ever saw or heard of such instructive, narrative establishing docs?

You mean they’ve been able to fool you for three years by only allowing to you to talk to people who won’t understand, thereby tricking you into not going public with the problem, so they don’t have to make any effort whatsoever to understand the problem, let alone fixing it.
Folks agreeing with this take should take a hard look at their attention spans and ability to focus and comprehend - it’s honestly really shocking to see how many people can’t handle sitting still and reading for 10 minutes (or fewer!) straight!

Hi,

This is a human centric approach, which i don't subscribe to. I am not of the opinion that every human life needs saving as it is the most valuable thing there is, as i don't think it is, my own life included. I will eventually (maybe even soon) die and that's cool with me. And your take on what an ecosystem is lacks the simple fact that alot of it was only possible the last couple billion of years because organisms tend to die, life on earth hasn't adapted to one organsim multiplying as much as we do, consuming as much as we do and having a really long life expectancy at the same time, it won't work.

ego driven as it values human life so much that it ignores how much damage it will do, not just to us, but to everything in general. We need to figure out a whole lot more before we can even consider extending our life expectancy like that.

That's my take on it, but it's okay to disagree, i am not married to my opinion.
Apologies, I guess I agree with your sentiment but disagree with the example you gave as I don't think it's well specified, and my more general point is that there isn't an effective specification, which means that in practice there isn't a clear reward function. If we can get the clear specification, which we probably can do proportionally to the complexity of the problem, and not getting very far up the complexity curve, then I would agree we can get the good reward function.
Not sure if I can call that "peace movement" if the violence (and the threat thereof) is rather oriented inwards.

If you’re the most junior level, sure.

Anything above that, things get fuzzy, requirements change, biz goals shift.

I don’t really see this current wave of AI giving us anything much better than incremental improvement over copilot.

A small example of what I mean:

These systems are statistically based, so there’s no probability. Because of that, I wouldn’t even gain anything from having it write my tests since tests are easily built wrong in subtle ways.

I’d need to verify the test by reviewing it and, imo, writing the test would be less time than coaxing a correct one, reviewing, re-coaxing, repeat.
That gets tricky fast. News as nonprofit might work, but would likely have even more severe resourcing issues than smaller newsrooms are having today.

If news sources were publicly funded like schools, that compromises the very important news function of reporting on the government.
I'm not sure "Google engineers use it" is a very good counter argument. They have a very high tolerance for complexity and like most large corporations what actually gets built and used tends to be driven more by internal politics than technical merit.

Ideology and science do not mix well. The "UN Sustainable Development Goals", the current Biden/Harris-led DOT and the WRI are ideologically driven and use "Science" - in quotes because the term does not denote use of the scientific method but rather the institutional credibility, whether the scientific method was followed or not - to justify their targets and actions. Keep that in mind when you refer to these (and similarly ideologically driven) institutions as 'reputable, scientifically backed, sources'.

Do I need to add that the opponents of these organisations and institutions can also be ideologically driven? I hope not, that should be clear. Check your sources for ideological bias - no matter whether you happen to agree with that bias or not - and take that into account when you use them to defend or oppose a viewpoint.
Speaking of the corporate advertising, I just saw an ad today that basically grooms kids into credit card concept. This bank has a prepaid card and app that's being managed by parents.

The ad story is "charming": busy parents forgot to pack his son properly for a summer camp, so he calls them and says he misses item x that is crucial. So they both leave their jobs and in a rush through city they're trying to save their boy. While he just orders stuff online with a help of a card, app and smartphone. And with "plastic money" little guy saves the day on his own.

Sure, its 21st century, we're living in the 20s and you can't avoid technology in banking, finances and pocket money for your kids but this barely teaches any responsibility - that ad deep between the lines sells the idea that money are magically "there". Just go for the limit, next month daddy and mommy will charge the card again.
