> I suppose the price you pay for almost guaranteed memory safety and ease of development through abstractions means your base executable memory footprint includes an entire language runtime.

Surprisingly enough memory safety does not come with extra memory usage. Even GC itself is not incompatible with low RAM footprints even with steady allocation rate as can be seen with both .NET GC configurations and Golang.

One source of base RAM footprint is the presence of JIT compiler - JITing, profiling, then JITing again all those methods is not free, and requires more memory pages, page remapping and additional logic in memory.

It's not impactful and is desirable due to JIT advantages on long-running and complex (often server) applications but is noticeable on something like a Calculator app.

Another source of memory usage is the choices taken by a particular GUI framework - this is by far the biggest contributor of memory use. Quite a lot of them take very heavy-handed, WPF-inspired approach. There is nothing inherently wrong with it, but as was demonstrated with very fast and lightweight immediate mode GUI frameworks like Egui, there is a different way to this. I'm looking forward to putting https://www.pangui.io through its paces whenever it releases, or anything that is even remotely like this and is pure C#.

The Calculator itself seems to use quite a bit of C++ code, I have not profiled it, but I can promise you if you write two implementations of an identical ImGUI-based application with idiomatic constructs of C and C#, the memory footprint will be much closer than you think (for an AOT compiled C# version), maybe within ~5-15MiB delta of RAM once you start adding logic and allocating but unlikely much more. There is no inherent limitation within the language and GC themselves that would prevent that from being possible.
I guess you missed what is really my salient point - if everyone switched to a purely vegan diet you are often trading one sustainability problem for another.

Particularly in this example if everyone switched to almond milk from dairy milk - it takes something like a few hundred gallons of water to produce a few cups of almond milk, not even including the water used in the actual milk itself. I'm sure I don't need to sketch out the math of why that wouldn't be sustainable if everyone switched to it, and I'm sure I don't need to talk in depth about the looming drought disaster in the american southwest (where a massive percent of the world's supply of almonds are produced) or the long term impacts of extracting tons of groundwater for farming.

Yet, products like almond milk (Again, this is just one example, there are others) that are pitched as the "solution" to the types of problems caused by dairy farming when you can see very quickly on the back of a napkin that almost none of it would be sustainable under current farming practices. That isn't even getting into the heavy use of insecticides and certain types of fertilizers the impact that has on the environment, etc. It's a more complicated subject than you are trying to boil it down to.
This does seem like exactly the sort of thing that would trigger false positives. The product is fundamentally a list of a bunch of text found in malware, so any sort of malware detector that's based on the textual content seems likely to give a false positive.
> You may think this ought not be true, but as a matter of reality it is. Each generation carries the weight of the previous one through retirement.

To the extent that this is true, it is by choice.

> Is it just? I think so - but regardless of that, it is the agreement every child is born into.

"Agreement" presupposes the consent of each party. You cannot be entered into an "agreement" without your own participation in the act of agreeing.

Children cannot consent, therefore this is no "agreement" by definition.

What you have called an "agreement" is more appropriately referred to as a "duty." There is a very critical distinction between the two concepts which I will elaborate on in a moment.

> Somewhat, but it is rude to point that out.

What do manners have to do with anything?

What you're describing is the concept of duty. You're saying that by virtue of just being born, a child is obligated to care for his or her elders through retirement and that their personal choices are irrelevant.

In this case there is a very important question: "What are you going to do about it when the child says 'no'?"

You can either do nothing, which is a valid option, but it means that the entire concept and discussion was moot. You can invent "duties" all you want, but people ultimately get to decide how to live their own lives and there's nothing you can do about it.

Or, you can pass laws and use force in order to compel people to do certain things "for the good of society."

Which brings me to why I asked the question: "Are people who choose to be child-free parasites?"

That's a very important question because if a "society" depends on children in order to pay peoples' pensions and to take care of them when they are older, and that dependence is so fundamental that we consider people who choose not have children "parasites", and we obligate children to a duty to take care of elders ... then you've weakened the recognition of individual rights (at least reproductive rights and the right to travel / emigrate) to such an extent that you've opened the door to banning contraception, abortion and freedom of travel.
Not a physicist, just a fan. As far as I understand it, we believe that it was in the early universe that the symmetry was unbroken [1].

all of the evidence taken together is what convicts you of a crime. People have been convicted of murder where no body was ever found. You can't point to any piece of the evidence that was used to convict and say "well that was not a crime, so leave it out". My explanation here of how evidence is used in court in gaining convictions is more accurate and realistic than the distinction you are are trying to make.
I’m very sorry to hear that things have led down this path. I hope for nothing but the best for you, her, and your kids. Do you feel like, if you could go back, you would rather end things knowing there were this large of disagreements on the fundamentals of how you would raise your kids? Or did you guys not fully broach these topics before getting married? Obviously, no pressure to answer here. These are sensitive questions to answer and put out on the internet.
My wife and I have been together for 46 years, 44 of them married. Yet we still make each other giggle, grin and blow milk out our noses every day. Sarcasm is our native language. Our interests are wildly different but that is of little import. Either you are compatible or you aren't...
Did they verify whether older keys are vulnerable, or did they not bother to test?
It really depends on the region, here’s for Europe (mother of Human Rights, maybe inclined to morale) but other surveys have it differently :

> 95% of respondents reported it being because of animal welfare, 83.9% because of the environment, and 55.9% because of health reasons.

I do it for animal welfare and the extremism has made me think multiple time because I consider myself as a very moderate person in various subject, including food for 35 years but that’s not the case anymore. It didn’t appear as a radical decision overnight but as a reflection over years and gradually transitioned through the Overton scale.

It IS extremist, but many other extremisms are widely accepted by large groups of population but not endorsed by all : [HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL ON] Embargos, Boycotts, child labor, God, human genome science[OFF]… you name it. Anti-slavery where also considered extremists (and still are in some places). You’ve got to ignore some judgements (like being seen as an extremist) and concentrate on the facts if you want to go "against the current" (not sure we say this in English)

If hard linking (no symbolic) is used to install the BusyBox commands, then instead of argv[0], BusyBox could use the platform-specific means of obtaining the executable name, and take the basename of that path.

My brother in law is in construction and has built and project managed dozens of houses, small apartment blocks etc. He said that if a building job doesn't require planning permission (small extension, temporary structure, certain farm buildings, large sheds, pergolas, verandas, sunrooms etc) then the customer might ask if he can save money by skipping the architect and engineer. A competent builder can generally work that stuff out, but it does still require rudimentary drawings (elevation, plans, end view) and some spacial figuring out. And like a lot of construction guys he has almost zero computer skills, so this shit is literally pencil, paper, squares and rulers.

I always wondered if there's a VR app (or market for one) that can map out an area and let you virtually model your project within it using standard building components (9" solid blocks, cavity blocks, lengths of timber in standard sizes, various sheets materials etc). It should be able to do basic calculations (rafter spans, roof pitch etc). Once you're done, it spits out CAD files, bill of materials etc. Bonus points for looking up local suppliers and offering to order everything for you, or even modifying the design to accommodate what's available.

It's a completely different project and target audience to OP's app, so sorry for the tangent.
A more unusual answer to this would be Luciferianism Temptations..
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luciferianism&old...

The temptation that when you are smart you should become the guardian of the world, a world based on your learnings, your ultimate truths, truths you find easier and more quickly found than by the lay-person. Or so the temptation goes. It allows you to license your morality; the ends justify the means. What you are doing evilly now will be paid off twice-fold by the good it will lead to later. Right?

There's the Fundamental Attribution Error and Dunning-Kruger effects too. And on behavior... Illusory Superiority combines with Moral Licensing (allowing yourself to be equally good and evil because you "match the two") and the dis-inhibition effect which people with greater success take more risks (including affecting other people negatively).

I think these effects all sort of combine. It's not necessary intelligence but power, at least as perceived by the individual that seems to be a bit of an issue (e.g. the individual who thinks they are smarter at doing X innately feels more powerful and then has less inhibition about expressing their superiority and trying to dominate over others).

We've all seen the person who ought to have moved on who hangs on to their former glory fail to understand they are not in prime condition and who tries to exert power they nolonger hold too.. to me that is the real opposite of imposter syndrome. it's when peoples perception of themself and social dynamics don't move with the times.

I think they're color-coding with the root note (or key?) being red which makes more sense than coloring the note names. Similar to how hearing perfect pitch can be a bit of an annoyance (with unnecessary detail) than useful.
I will totally agree with that. The US response needed to be double what it was.

But at least the sign was in the right direction.

I remember at the time reading what the European Central Bank was doing and going it's not acting like a central bank. Was trying to squeeze blood out of the less economically developed southern countries to protect French and German Banks from their own underwriting failures.

So that austerity means their response was destructive.
That's why the mathematical universe hypothesis (everything is built from mathematical structures) seems likely to me.
been vegan for 5+ years, so has my wife, not going back any time soon. Some friends were vegan for years but recently started eating some eggs. My mom was vegan for a little bit but stopped.

I think it depends on your reason for going vegan. Some do it for health or the environment, and maybe those people don't stick to it? You might not see the health results you wish, or you lose motivation being like great I'm one less hamburger when Taylor Swift flies across the world every 5 minutes. Me + my wife do it for humanitarian reasons and I have yet to wake up and be like "today I don't care about the animals anymore", but that's just me.

I don't think I've seen someone who flipped due to animal rights going back to eating meat, but super super small sample size.

I do see, however, articles like this all the time. My opinion is that it gets clicks by people who want to validate not being vegan (like people who are afraid to take the plunge), meat-heads who love hating on vegans, or people who are maybe curious but then read this and be like "oh I guess nobody stays vegan". Also there may or may not be a lot of vested interest in the meat industry's success, so perhaps there's some incentive to post articles like this.

The soybean farmer may enjoy the fact that I eat the beans they grow versus some cow, but cows eat so much more than me and if everyone went vegan overnight or all meat cows died or whatever, soy prices would plummet and the farmers would go broke
after moving to china any preconceptions i had about western people being considerate of children (and parents) went out the window. chinese not only tolerate children, but they allow them to get away with anything, almost to a fault even. i have never once seen anyone complain about children. they bring them to work and they care when someone needs help in levels that a western parent would consider intrusive. and any disruption they simply ignore. after experiencing that, asking a parent to step outside to me now feels rather rude and inconsiderate.
As an IC leadership picks my coworkers and my projects for me. Why should I be made responsible for the consequences of their decisions? What do you think leadership does do if not build successful teams? If I am expected to get along with everyone on my team then I expect to be allowed to make hiring, firing, and prioritization decisions. At which point I’m now leadership and we don’t need dedicated leaders.
Doesn't need to be Google; could be a smaller corp or it could be Canonical, or Cloudflare, or Motorola or Samsung or something; let's not get hung up on Google-hate for the sake of theoretical speculation?

A company town should be exclusive to company employees and their families, because it would be economically infeasible for the corp to support unaffiliated families or workers. It would also be the type of urban distraction that a company town can avoid: if all your neighbors are fellow employees loyal to the corp, then your leisure time will also be oriented toward a collective good and you'll be less likely to be exposed to disruption, spying, or discontent fostered by corporate rivals or outsiders.

Whichever corp it is, doesn't need to be directly responsible for all the amenities. Clearly they're going to subcontract nearly everything. Already happens: the cafeterias are run by catering professionals and the van transportation is probably also subcontracted by pros. The corp can provide everything within the corp's core compentencies, such as Internet connections and security, but the janitorial and fire safety and pharmacies would be third-parties specifically selected by the corporation and on an exclusive contract to operate there, which contracts could become really lucrative and competitive.
This a great start. A level progression system would make it a full fledged game. You could introduces walls to control the direction/flow of ants. The walls would change per level. Also, some kind of penalty for spamming might help. Right now I can use multiple fingers to press all over the map without much thought.
I'm a novice at machine learning, but Open AI made a python library for reinforcement learning in video games, and a fork of it is still actively maintained [1]. It's been a few years, but I remember being able to get it up and running in a day or two (maybe a weekend). It used the Retroarch emulator, which is compatible with a huge number of emulators and consoles.

There also SethBling's excellent video on YouTube about machine learning specifically with Super Mario World:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv6UVOQ0F44

I encourage you to give it a try! I feel that video games are a bit underrated by current AI buzz, I think there's lots of potential for a machine to learn a skill through playing a game. And lots of potential for a game being selected or even created with the goal of teaching a specific skill. However at that point maybe it's better to forego the audio and visuals and speak to the machine in text or with pure data.

On the other hand, I have seen a video about convolutional neural networks that feed on each pixel of an image. So perhaps training with sound data, or with the pixels of a spectrogram, could have some positive results. And certainly I would be amused to see a game played in time with music, or possibly even dancing with a songs melody, harmony, and story as well.

Anything that's ever been created by humans, existed first in the imagination of a human brain. And you've got one of those. A mental vision pursued and brought from the mind into physical reality is a beautiful thing, a gift for all of humanity in my eyes. I think it's quite worthwhile. But that's just my perspective. Thank you for sharing your imagination. Have a nice day
This is interesting. She would often admit that she was codependent and would forewarn that she knew she was being annoying because of that, but then there would be no actual progress/accountability on getting better. It would be this loop where she’d warn that she was being that way, but then she would go on and create an argument out of it anyway. I definitely don’t think she was a narcissist. She’s such a great human being. I think we both didn’t have the tools to deal with our competing insecurities and how they triggered each other. It was a bit of a shock to me since I had relationships with women who were much more secure in the past, and we never got into these intense of arguments. They were always resolved quickly and it never got disrespectful.
> If you take a step back and look at the things you argue with your significant other about (or anyone else close to you), it's humbling to see how silly it often is.

One piece of advice I got from an old family friend when getting married two decades ago ... the next time you find yourself arguing with your spouse, when you feel that slight bit of anger or annoyance bubbling up, lift your shirt up and show them your belly button. You don't have to stop talking, just lift your shirt up and show your belly button while you're making whatever point you are making.

I've tried this a few times and it works wonders - doing something silly makes me stop and realize how silly the argument I'm in is.

In an environment like that you'll be respected a lot more as a consultant and paid advisor, even if you provide generic and mediocre advice, than as an employee providing high quality expertise. Toxic management loves overpaid external consultants and advisors more than their own, much lesser paid internal staff.
Another key difference is that music and athletics are physical activities where reaction times have to be faster than the time required for conscious thought. If your hands aren't already moving to do the right thing before you have time to think about it, you'll never make it as a top-level musician or athlete. There's nothing really like this in programming.
Margaret sounds like my psychotic foster parent that would religiously abuse me.

Twice on the same monitor?
They say the same thing about QAnon - most people wind up there simply because they want to belong. And the Proud Boys are just a bunch of harmless nerds who like Hawaiian shirts. And the people who busted into the Capitol on Jan. 6th were just confused. And all of the racists on 4chan are just harmless kids being ironic. Everyone always has only the purest of intentions, and it's always society's fault if one of them shoots up a synagogue. If you can only find a "sense of belonging" by opting out of consensus reality to that degree then there's something else going on besides social awkwardness.

Also the links between the modern flat earth movement and antisemitic/white supremacist ideology are literally just a Google search away. This isn't even difficult to find.

How do you feel about plasma gasification to ensure robust destruction of anything non-inert? I love landfills too! But humans are various shades of tricky, lazy, cost adverse, and untrustworthy (think limited liability) as it pertains to long term custodianship and management of things bad for people and the environment.

TLDR You must engineer around the human. Potentially harmful physical matter that requires waste management? Default to destruction vs storage, if at all possible. You have now defaulted to success instead of failure.
