That has to be misphrased. If we take "beyond the edge of one's capabilities" literally, that means you can't do it. You can't practice what you can't do. But even just hitting the edge of your capabilities is something athletes almost never do. Practice is certainly still deliberate. It's planned. Every workout has a purpose. But lifters don't hit a one-rep max every single day. Runners don't run a race every single day. The overwhelming majority of practice is intentionally submaximal because the stress of trying to max out every time you do something is too much to recover from and limits your ability to accumulate large volumes of practice over time. "Performance-improving adjustments on every single repetition" is almost incomprehensible in some realms of performance. I'm not some high level athlete or anything, but I ran 9 miles this morning with 5 of them slightly below lactate threshold and that took a bit fewer than 13,000 steps. Do we really expect each of those steps to involve feedback and improvement? Fatigue is a thing. Nobody gets better with every step. You get better very, very slowly, often after very long cycles of functional overreach and recovery in which you first get worse before you get better.
Now that's a cool accident... thanks for sharing :)
At peak hours (as in peak wind) energy cost is regularly negative. Looking at it this way will kill any energy business case.

Doing what exactly?

It isn't clear to me if you are advocating for recognizing a diverse group of players or to focus on a narrow definition of what a gamer is.
There’s only a handful of leading edge customers. If you can’t peal off TSMC customers you’re toast.
Tangential question.

I only became aware of all the bruha about "Black Myth: Wukong" after i'd already bought it and my first thought was OMG is tripitaka missing ????(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8_bNY_4VF4)

2800 is not even that many depending on the company size. At my current employer I'd guess we have somewhere between 2-3x that, and those are more complex services than a simple lambda + endpoint in each. Just my user with its groups gives me ownership of some 200+ components.

Those are only backend microservices, not counting data pipelines, and other supporting applications.

What constitutes a microservice is a philosophical question very related to the company's culture, some companies will prefer very small single use-case services, some will develop microservices that support a whole isolated functionality (with business logic) to be re-used across the stack. There's no single definition that can be applicable to such variety of architectures.

I have a somewhat different approach, using a multi-repo system and some packaging rules I can make some interfaces not available outside of my repository, and still others only available to a subset of the repositories.

there are pros and cons of multirepo vs monorepo. This is one interesting side effect of the multirepo approach.
I might be a good angel investor for you. I like people that care deeply about their craft, and are very long term oriented. I don't care if you build a multi-billion dollar company.

According to the company, if the reactor needs inspection or servicing, it can be hauled to the surface by cables in about an hour or two.

A people cannot understand themselves without understanding their past. We not only become small-minded, parochial, and petty by forgetting our past. We forget who we are. We become enslaved to passing fads and silly nonsense of the day instead of aiming for the eternal. We lose perspective and become pusillanimous, obsessed with ourselves while remaining ignorant of our place in the tapestry of time. By forgetting the received tradition, we forfeit a goldmine of wisdom developed and communicated over the ages that we, too, should embrace and develop. We exclude ourselves from a dialogue with our ancestors who have much to share with us, from whom we have much to learn, and whose efforts we should continue, refining, correcting, expanding, elaborating what came before. We should engage with the endoxa of the ages. That doesn't mean thoughtless acceptance of a calcified mass, but entering into relationship with a living inheritance with the requisite humility.

We have chosen foolishness and mediocrity, and spiritual and intellectual poverty, savagery over humanity. And in our foolishness we cannot help but walk in circles, repeating the same errors, because we do not remember where we have already been. It is the story of modern philosophy which rhymes with and echoes the errors of the presocratic philosophers.
While there are many priorities to balance, having plenty of native species is absolutely one of them. There will probably be some kind of small wildflower meadow as well.

In this particular location, the ecosystem is currently in a reasonably good state, in contrast to say a heavily tilled farm soil, so I get a pretty decent start.
The Chinese gaming industry seem to make games for gamers, while the western gaming industry seems obsessed with unsuccessfully "converting" people that don't play games, as if they are some kind of untapped market.
"just about everything" includes detecting perturbations in the intensity and frequency of light that Occam's Razor suggests is due to unaccounted mass and energy. Moreover, that the unaccounted-for amount would exceed the light and mass we can detect (75:25, roughly? Maybe less, depending on the model). Our best explanations all sound dubious -- dark matter & dark energy? Hardly an explanation. Extra torsion of the space in each galaxy due to the effect on space from black holes? That's a pretty big rounding error. WIMPs that we've left out of the Standard Model? Recent experiments have left little room for that possibility.

There may indeed be things which we can't detect, even with our best instruments, that we don't have a suitable explanation for.

Same, yet I use a tiling WM (Sway); how? Telling it I want tabbed workspaces!

The tiling is available. By default things behave as if 'maximized' - easy to pop out/move/whatever.
The Wukong devs probably want the world to be more yellow if anything but you're so stuck in your western mindset that you can only see the world in a literal black and white, ironic.
Prettier, eslint, and the typescript compiler are great. The issue is the npm package gallore that exists currently. No one wants to write code anymore, instead using mini libraries for a function or two, resulting in ~8000 packages for a react application I had to work on.
> means you binary bigger .... meaning more memory bandwidth and cache

Except this isn't actually true.

No but it dramatically DECREASES the amount of investment necessary to reach that ceiling.

Assume you have 2 teams, each get the same amount of money. Then ask them to make the highest performing spec compatible chip. What team is gone win 99% of the time?

> And the flexibility of being able to implement a complex operation in microcode, or silicon is essential for CPU designers.

You can add microcode to a RISC-V chip if you want, most people just don't want to.

That is true, but its also just a much better instruction set then x86 -_-

Funny, I developed a similar ping system for Prometheus, to monitor a Kubernetes edge cluster: https://github.com/remram44/prometheus-ping

I did rewrite it in Rust (from original Python) over latency concerns from the language, but it did not make much difference in the end.
I'm not talking about whether climate is a big problem or not, I'm talking about the writing style causing problems. That you cite the climate data makes me think you missed my point. We already agree on the data.

This is a game made by a Chinese company primarily for a Chinese audience and set in China. I doubt there's a single white character in there.
At least there it is useful sharing - it warns others from the substitution. There is also "I substituted this ingredient with <completely different thing> and got something great" which I see happen a lot more often. In cooking it is common to be missing some ingredient and so you want some substitution if it will turn out.
I think we've gone back on forth on this over the years. The rate of new services is decreasing, so I think we have shifted more from lots of very small services (low thousands lines of code) to bigger ones that are more like an entire product (e.g. 100k LoC+). But I wouldn't be surprised if the pendulum shifts back again in the future - there are downsides with the larger services, like greater contention withe other engineers.
Most of us give our "loyalties" to the power structures native to the lands we live in because it gives more more benefits than not doing that.
You have a very valid point; chess or music benefit from structured/known/repetitive learning and those techniques don't work as well on more chaotic environments.
According to the article, it is "encased in solid rock far below any water table", so maybe groundwater pollution isn't a concern.

Weird, isn't 4GB RAM enough for Android 15? Or is AOSP compatibility completely separate from Android compatibility?
I am really surprised by all the negative comments in this thread about FreeBSD by people who seemingly use Linux and think this is an appropriate way to behave.

There are many reasons why someone might use BSD, and it has several specific advantages over Linux for some use cases. That aside, even in cases where Linux is "better", FreeBSD is more than sufficient. There is no downside and many upsides to having multiple free operating systems that are aligned around the same core standard (POSIX) with tooling for software portability.

If your wind/solar energy pricing goes negative, you're not using enough storage. Build more batteries, suck up that excess energy, and maximize feeding back to the grid when on-demand prices are high.
On a unrelated note, does anyone know the origins of the one way vs two way door analogy?

In this post it is attributed to Jeff Bezos quotes, but it was popular in the Pacific North West before his rise.
The networking of the tinybox is woefully inadequate. I.e. it only has an OCP 3.0 interface which is unoccupied. If you can fit everything onto one tinybox, then you'll be good, if you cannot, then you'd be better off by having a more professional workstation solution like e.g. NVIDIA RTX cards which have more memory.
Are you referring to the colloquial idiom?

Its clearly necessary to have comparability back to the 80s. Its clearly necessary to have 10 different generation of SIMD. Its clearly necessary to have multiple different floating point systems.

Sell copies and have players? Isn't that reasonable metric for entertainment product?

My point is that two contemporary examples of games targeting and recognizing these new diverse groups of players have utterly failed. Indicating that either they totally failed in their marketing in informing that finally there is game for not gamers. Or there simply is no demand...

Which would then suggest the alternate approach of just push down cold water and get back hot water without any nuclear reactor at the bottom of the hole. We're not talking hot hot everywhere, but possibly still useful.

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-average-temperature-...

> The average temperature gradient for planet Earth is 20 °C per kilometre. In many areas around the world the gradient is higher, and the temperature increases at a faster rate with depth below the ground. With a temperature gradient of between 50 and 100 °C geothermal resources are more readily accessible. Above 20 °C geothermal waters can be used for direct uses like greenhouses, aquaculture and district heating applying heat pumps. Above 75 °C the water is hot enough to be used for electricity generation using binary cycle technology. Above 160 °C flash steam generation can be used to produce clean, renewable electricity.

Right. We have to bite the bullet on nuclear power sometime, and it may as well be now.

I've nothing against green renewable energy and welcome it but we not only need reliable base load energy but lots more of it than we have now—and that base load will continue to increase at an exponential rate into the future (especially so with conversion to EVs).

Making a move to nuclear has almost become a necessity whether we like it or not. We've now three-quarters of a century of nuclear engineering experience behind us and it's pretty much sorted. It's not without risk but it's now about as safe as any of our other major engineering infrastructure.
I've been personally most excited for this, simply because I've personally been looking at making my own image based system to daily drive and having an empty (and possibly read-only) /etc/ is kind of a prerequisite, which passwd and shadow kinda make difficult.

For anyone that doesn't know, homed allows using different mechanism as backing storage (e.g. directory, luks loopback, btrfs subvolume, separate drive and more). It stores user information usually store in passwd and shadow in a signed ~/.identity file allowing it to be entirely portable. Changes need to be done via homectl as it needs to be resigned by a system specific key (same for when a new home dir is added) and some changes are limited to admin only, while others can be done by the user themselves.
Capabilities is what you get if you keep traveling down this road, deal with the resulting issues, tune the approach, and iterate on it a lot. It doesn't take long to figure out that partitioning permissions by "what functions can be called" is a nice start, and I don't mean to criticize it as a start, but it is only a start. It isn't the correct dimension of the code to cut on.

Capabilities is, in my opinion, the biggest collective blind spot we have in the programming world right now. Bigger than functional programming, bigger than proofs; those may be useful but there is some general awareness they exist. Capabilities are almost unheard of. If someone was setting out to put their mark on the programming language landscape, finding a way to integrate capabilities into a practical programming language would be something I'd have towards the top of my list. I find it frustrating how many "new" languages are just current languages respelled a different way. It has been a while since I've seen a language try something new.

Or, in this case, new-ish. I'd suggest studying E a bit first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(programming_language) and maybe finding some programmers of it and speaking to them about it. But at this point, a language from 25+ years ago with no live community (I scanned over it quickly, there's a Wiki whose "recent changes" shows no changes and a mailing list with an approximate rate of 1 message a quarter or so) means it's going to be so far behind that you might as well start from scratch.

We keep sort of kind of recreating it a bit but it's really hard to bodge on to a language as a library.

Of course, this may be as pie-in-the-sky as expecting everyone to use proof languages. Here I am pitching this and it's an uphill battle for me just to get people to use a Username type instead of a bare string in the real world. Still, the world has moved on in the last 20 years... perhaps the time is right.

(On the off chance that someone ever does decide to build a capability-based language, I would suggest putting a lot of thought into transparency and diagnostics of the capabilities, because even in a super-mega-alpha-test "function call failed: missing capability" isn't going to be a very useful error message. For instance, I would offer the suggestion of, if some code tries to do something at runtime but it doesn't have the capability, in the process of generating the stack trace tell me the last function call that did have the capability, or if the program never had it in the first place. If one can prove it at compile time so much the better, though I don't know how far you can take this at compile time. Also be careful piling too many trendy other type features on top; along with the fact capabilities can arguably replace some other type features, you're going to have enough work to start out with without also trying to be the language with the super-strongest typing as well.)

This one's pretty clean for Clojure code, due to the simplicity of the data model, in the most conventional sense, as the state of the program is just the word, the guesses, and the grid of colored characters for the guesses.

External dependencies you manage like in most other applications nowadays, you don't hit external services in the "guts" of your code unless you really need to, for performance, testability and to keep the less reliable parts of your code isolated, you keep the interactions with external services as close to the "main" of the application as you can.

When things break down is with more complex data models of the application, not even as much because of the language itself but because Clojure programmers actively reject using record types and interfaces, and just pass dictionaries around. You wind up with some code that, bafflingly, gives the impression of being very simple and neat, but you can't tell what it's actually doing.

> As for the datacenter (I’ve racked many things with A/B power) the entire point is redundancy which this defeats the purpose of. Seems incredibly bizarre to me in so many ways.

Yes - often for the data centre you'd end up with something like [1] with 4x 2700W power supplies, providing redundancy and ample power at the same time. It does mean you need four 220v power feeds though.

But it doesn't.

Its simply about the amount of investment. x86 had 50 years of gigantic amounts of sustained investment. Intel outsold all the RISC vendors combined by like 100 to 1 because they owned the PC business.

When Apple started seriously investing in ARM. They were able to match of beat x86 laptops.

The same will be true for RISC-V.
hardware support being bad is a feature.
