I can't speak for OpenBSD specifically but I can speak to some of my thoughts in why an operating system continues to use C. Supporting a language ecosystem is not easy, the less "default" languages needed to bootstrap the core system the better. The nice part about C is that it's one of the few languages suited for both kernel space and user space. Out of the alternatives you listed the only language that could even seriously be considered for kernel space is rust, and even that took a lot of back and forth to get it to that point in the Linux kernel. Higher level languages have a larger range as assumptions and you have to tow those accomodations in to kernel space if you want to use them. There is also the issue of the memory management in kernel space being much more of a complicated environment than user space. How do I teach the borrow checker about my MMU bring up and maintenance?

I am also skeptical to your claim about removing memory bugs freeing up brain space for logic bugs, at least for Rust. Rust has grown quite a number of language features, that in my experience, result in a higher cognitive load compared to C. If you seriously reduce your reliance on the C macro system (as Plan
9 has shown possible), the language itself is quite simple.
Oh yeah, I remember seeing that recommendation as well! I think the reason I avoided it was because it seemed like it would be too messy. I'm guessing it's probably more effective than dish soap, though.

Ambient Authority... it's the computer equivalent of giving the full electrical grid, unrestricted in any way, to every single outlet in your house. No fuses, circuit breakers, or other protection.

Yet this is the underlying design that Linux, Windows, MacOS are all based on.

We have ways to default to NO authority, and still make computers just as easy to use, but we don't do it. Because it would require reconfiguring everything, and porting a lot of code to new OSs.
It's also very strange to throw the average worker under the bus for what is clearly a leadership failure at practically all levels but obviously coming from the top. Google has a ton of innovation; the current AI race has deep Google roots but needs to capitalize the opportunity. Google needs leadership change, Sundar is no Satya and while he's done reasonably well, the market is too aggressive to let that retain leadership.

But the action that has actually been taken just guaranteed the prompt destruction of the radar equipment, and a prolonged outage to replace it.

Unless an attack was underway that the radar was tracking, the right course of action was to power it off immediately, and start cleaning it. After the cleaning, it would go online promptly, and then parts of it could be assessed for damage, taken offline when the replacement is ready, and replaced, likely without even stopping the operation.

This kind of paralysis and fear of making decisions, especially when time is of essence, would be exactly what I'd like to instill in my enemies.
If there is no tax on tips, what is to stop me as an independent contractor from charging $1.00 for all my services, and agreeing with a client that they'll just write in the "real" balance in the "gratuity" line that suddenly appeared on their invoice? Income is income. It should all be taxed the same. Which is to say, as little as possible.

Where on the continent? GitHub is undoubtedly doing blackbox testing internally and has multiple such monitors but that's not going to capture every customer's route to them, leading to the same problem - customers experience GitHub being down, despite monitoring saying it's mostly up. Thus the impass. Even doing whitebox testing, where you know the internals and can this place sensors intelligently, even just for ingress, you're still at the mercy of the Internet.

If a sensor that's basically in the same datacenter says you're up, but the route into the datacenter is down, then what? multiply this by the complexity of the whole site, and monitoring it all with 100% fidelity is impossible. Not that it's not worth it to try, there's a team at GitHub that works on monitoring, but beyond motivation about keeping the SLA up, as a customer, unless you notice it's down, is it really down? In a globally distributed system, downtime, except for catastrophic downtime like this, is hard to define on a whole-site basis for all customers.

I was confused at first. They wrote, "In this paper we present a new method for automatic transliteration and segmentation of Unicode cuneiform glyphs using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques". So my reaction was, "huh, why did they need to do any segmentation and transliteration with Unicode?". Turns out, they were doing segmentation and then transliteration from the image of cuneiform tablets to Unicode (cuneiform) glyphs/characters.

Basically an OCR for cuneiform :)
It is a subfield of AI.
Something similar for me as well. Played for about 10 minutes and had it happen a few times - I'd be in a fight or killing some shapes, then it would rocket me across the screen and say someone killed me. The "kill cam" would have the person who killed me somewhere quite far a way, and I never saw any bullets coming from that direction.

> I most certainly do NOT need to wish for bigger populations in order to increase the bottom-line standard of living.

Well maybe, just maybe, try once looking at the historical data [1] to see how it works? Economy is not a zero-sum game where dividing resources among the smaller number of players gives you a win.

Yes, with the current technology stack lifting everyone to the current US level is impossible, that's precisely why it's so important to keep pushing. Earth continuously receives 44 quadrillion (4.4 x 10^16) watts of solar energy on average it's more than plenty to have decent standards of living for everyone if captured. The problem is, development of technology is extremely expensive, effectively impossible unless you spread the cost among a huge number of end-consumers.

If the population didn't grow like crazy in the past centuries we wouldn't have the technology we have today and the bottom-line standard of living would be way lower than what we have today. And so would be the US standard of living because US wouldn't be sitting on top of a 8-billion-people economic pyramid.

Very lucky for the world's poorest (and for all of us) that we didn't listen to cries of de-growers in the 18th century. In principle not much have changed since then. Amount of energy at our disposal is still laughable, so the road ahead is longer than what we did so far.

One of the things that impressed me at my time at Google (2011-2015) was the culture of blameless post-mortems, and of general transparency of many (not all) things.

Sadly, this culture must have deteriorated; my friends who are still at Google say that it's become literally the stuff of Dilbert comic strips :-(
Wrong direction to take the country. How about just no tips? Don't encourage this even more
There is actually sound ethical reasoning for why rape is bad, that doesn't rely on social consensus.

Truth isn't one fundamental thing, truth is what works.

There are places in the world today that the social consensus is it's fine for a man to rape his wife. Social systems in these places don't work very well, and one can make a logical and well reasoned argument linking the social acceptance of rape to a myriad of other dysfunctions.

That can be fixed with Garmin notification sound being treated as a notification sound.

Adding per app volume control is IMHO a really bad UX. It means there's a master volume and then per app volume is like a coefficient the app volume is multiplied by.

My car has its own volume control separate from the phone bluetooth volume and I hate the experience of having two volume knobs interacting with each other when all I want to do is to increase or decrese volume

To me, i think the big axis that is missing here is to what extent there is structure.

Some wikis are just a collection of pages, maybe cross linked. Other wikis allow the user to create complex workflows and are structured around this (in mediawiki land this would be things like SemanticMediaWiki or cargo).

Essentially, are you making a collaborative web version of notepad or excel?

Absolutely yes to private right of action and treble damages. Not sure why you want "no obligation for every complaint to result in an investigation" though. That's contradictory to the private right of action.

Disagree on fines based on gains and damages on their own. My understanding is that percentage of global turnover usually is a higher number than gains and damages. I'd prefer it be "the higher of either".
Is this actually peer to peer. I can imagine how exposing something on the public internet would work the way the diagram is showing. The public end of the noodle has to go to another server right? What does the company have to host in order for this stuff to work?

There should be some correlation between lactic acid levels and feeling sore. I honestly just don't worry about it. Just getting out there and doing something is better than sitting around. Listen to your body. If you're not recovering, or not sleeping properly or are too sore, dial back a little on either volume or intensity. My Garmin gives me an estimate of recovery time, you really have to work hard to stretch that recovery time into more than 48 hours (e.g. running a 10K race). You can vary your workouts between something that feels extremely easy to pushing yourself a little more.

EDIT: another thing I didn't mention is that in terms of injury you want to give your body plenty of time to build more distance. Most of your joints and other tissues take longer to adapt than cardiovascular. I think this is where people can get into potential injury situations by ramping up too fast. I personally also try to run on soft surfaces (trails etc.) since I find hard surfaces (roads) a lot more punishing.
Can you tell us about your implementation?

I imagine that it would be along the lines of:

If you are a service worker earning less than $44,725 (the Federal 12% bracket) your first $10,000 of tips are tax free.

This would mean that an income of $40,000 including $10,000 tips would owe roughly $1,748 Federal tax vs. $2,820 tax.
I do the same, and the only leak was target giving my email to a pork-related class action lawsuit.
The general point could be "people value modularity".

The phone keyboard doesn't need to be baked in, if it can come into action fast enough for the use case. It would be the same for tablets, where being able to switch between a lighter screen only mode and a heavier keyboard+trackpad setup is a big advantage.

Even laptops would fit that niche in a different way, where docking to a full input+output setup is an option.

What a terrible idea. Instead, let's do away with tipping culture entirely, and require every job be subject to a minimum wage, over that's actually set to something livable.

On the other hand, if tips stop being taxable, can I tip less? Like maybe 18% instead of 20%?
"Elementary particles do have a purpose, they are for explaining a measurable physical phenomena."

Don't confuse what you think was said with what was said. I didn't say neutrinos were the explanation or that they were doing the explaining.

If you can explain the theory, without the neutrinos, then you have a new theory. The theory is itself used as an explanation of experimental results, and I'd argue that the actual theoretical explanation is carried out by humans for other humans to not confuse the theory map for explanation territory. Frankly, I also think the dogmatism and distinction are silly, but don't confuse what I said.
A national ban on taxing tips would disproportionately benefit, for example, a South Carolina server who earns a reduced minimum wage and makes a large portion of their income through tips. While a server in California, where tips make up a smaller portion of their income, would benefit less.

Bartenders in California still make on average $200 per shift in tips. That's likely 50%+ of their income that won't be taxable anymore?

I’ve been pretty involved in open source projects most of my career. The license you choose should reflect the community you are trying to create. But it probably only makes sense to protect application level code with a copyleft license.

Most code has no real value beyond the time it saves you and its software developer contributors so it should be as liberally licensed as possible. You want to encourage contributions from the widest possible user base which includes developers of closed source software. They are already incentivised into upstreaming their changes to you on a liberal basis.

If your piece of metal is sufficiently thick, the eddy currents will not overheat it to the point of failure. If its surface is sufficiently smooth, there will be no arches jumping off the sharp edges. Crumpled foil is usually very much unlike that, and it gets violently destroyed. A steel coffee cup with a smooth top would likely do just fine.

My microwave oven comes with a metal stand that you're supposed to put into it when doing certain kinds of baking. Likely it's engineered to be massive enough, it has rounded edges everywhere, and is supposedly sized so that there are no pieces that would resonate at 2.4 GHz and thus consume a lot of energy and overheat.
Either you or the company pays tax on the tip portion of the reimbursement.
I don't understand your last sentence, why as little as possible? is it better for the country to grow ever more deeper into debt or for politicians to get funding for their promises by appeasing billionaires and CEOs? it is just as important to pay taxes as it is to vote. I would even say the more taxes you pay, the more invested in politics and civic responsibilities you would become.

Excessive taxation is bad but I have never seen anywhere near excessive taxation in the US. The general ailments and downtrends in American society started right around the time when taxation (especially the corporate kind) started getting cut and we moved away from the gold standard for our money.

For once I'd like to see a politician promise to raise taxes and use that revenue to fix things and actually win. Perverse financial incentives are ruining everything.
Very cool. A lot to be said for jumping right in to the action.
This is a perfect demonstration of that "law" that states you can skip the first 30% of a YouTube video and not miss much.
Hah, somewhat perversely, I'm glad to hear that: it's exactly how I sum things up in a sentence in my head, then I think I'm being overdramatic / personalizing it, because I kinda grew up learning about tech via Dilbert, I was a big fan of Dogbert at 7 years old.

But I'm not.

I did Aug 2016-2023. Of course it's a complicated story, and you've heard a lot already I'm sure, but when you mention blameless postmortems, it remind me of my pet peeve: promo committees done within teams (basically 2 levels up, i.e. skip is doling out promo, with no recourse or real outside input) was a horrible, wretched idea.

There was this odd obsession with saving time on perf, but they kinda just needed to tell people to chill and recognize that it really is important for management. With all promos being judged by people next to you, what we might call "being agreeable" became a necessity.

I distinctly remember in 2018 being told if things were how they had been, that I should just do a blameless postmortem, but with things as they are, that was a quick way to end up on the bench for the rest of my career.
