> What are the practical choices for people who do not want to cosplay as sysadmins?

The specific complaint is not at all about the kernel identifying itself as tainted, the specific complaint is about the kernel developers' unyielding unwillingness to support any scenario where ZFS is concerned, thus leaving one with even more "sysadmin duties". I want to use my computer, not serve it.
The novel, as I recall, didn't start out stratified by wealth etc. It begins with a new arrival to a recently completed high-rise building.

The wikipedia page, for what that's worth, appears to agree:

Life in the high-rise begins to degenerate quickly, as minor power failures and petty grievances among neighbours and between rival floors escalate into an orgy of violence. Skirmishes become frequent throughout the building as whole floors of tenants try to claim lifts and hold them for their own. Groups gather to defend their rights to the swimming pools, and party-goers attack "enemy floors" to raid and vandalise them.

The outcome is as you recall:

The lower, middle, and upper floors of the building gradually stratify into distinct groups.

I believe it's a thesis of Ballard's that no matter the initial state social systems evolve (for the worse) into stratified rivalries, I suspect this may have been burnt into his soul by his experieces as a young boy interned during Japanese occupation.

Were big-studio games ever innovative? Seems most innovative games were gambles by smaller studios that sometimes propelled those studios into acclaim. Sometimes the larger studios katamari damacy up successful features (e.g. light crafting, light soulslike combat) into their series, but that's only a decade after it's been proven successful.

Something as creatively risky as Outer Wilds, Heaven's Vault, or Paradise Killer could never come from a big studio.

Axioms are necessary to have discussions on the basis of logic.

The choice of those axioms and the interpretations about what those axioms might imply is a fascinating and at times outright beautiful conversation. It’s an opportunity for people to connect in a way that’s difficult to describe.

But it’s because for the most part, when dealing with others, we can understand if we agree on the axioms (whether that’s ZFC or whatever) and therefore logic is going to inevitably unite us.

Or if our axioms contradict, in which case the best outcome is peaceful disagreement.

> RAW photos are by definition not compressed.

There is no such definition. Most cameras’ raw files nowadays are losslessly compressed. The compression being lossless means that the bits that were taken out can be reconstructed identically.

It seems you might be confused as to what lossless compression means?
Why would you change a shell (sh?) script into a Bash script? And why would you change [[ into [ expressions, which are not Posix, as far as I remember? And why make the distinction for numeric variablesand not simply make the usage the same, consistent for everything? Does it also leave away the double quotes there? That even sounds dangerous, since numeric variables can contain filenames with spaces.

Somehow whenever people dance to the Google code conventions tune, I find they adhere to questionable practices. I think people need to realize, that big tech conventions are simply their common debominator, and not especially great rules, that everyone should adopt for themselves.
Most people do nowadays and that's honestly weird.

It seems like anti-wokeness has turned into a legitimate phobic disorder for a lot of people. The more abstract the common definition of "woke" becomes, the more all-pervasive "wokeness" appears to be, the more effort the anti-woke put in to avoiding it like germophobes, the tighter the purity spiral wraps around their lives.

It's actually fun to watch these people become a parody of everything they hate.

The following check for gtimeout means that other OSs that don't have the expected behaviour in either command won't break the script, you'll just get a warning message that isn't terribly relevant to them (but more helpful than simply failing or silently running without timeout/gtimeout. Perhaps improving that message would be the better option.

Though for that snippet I would argue for testing for the command rather than the OS (unless Macs or some other common arrangement has something incompatible in the standard path with the same command name?).
Those same corporations have made the transition from C to C++ during the 40 years.

This article is golden:

> Okinawa in Japan is one of these zones. There was a Japanese government review in 2010, which found that 82% of the people aged over 100 in Japan turned out to be dead. The secret to living to 110 was, don’t register your death.

The Japanese government has run one of the largest nutritional surveys in the world, dating back to 1975. From then until now, Okinawa has had the worst health in Japan. They’ve eaten the least vegetables; they’ve been extremely heavy drinkers.

You're saying this like the takeaway of "Linus regrets merging bcachefs" is unfair when the literal quote from Linus is "[...] I'm starting to regret merging bcachefs." And earlier he says "Nobody sane uses bcachefs and expects it to be stable[...]".

I don't understand how you can read Linus' response and think "Linus regrets merging bcachefs" is an unfair assessment.

I appreciate the HAProxy docs. They're stored as text files in the main code repository, though there are HTML representations.

There are three main files:

Starter Guide: https://docs.haproxy.org/3.0/intro.html

Configuration Manual: https://docs.haproxy.org/3.0/configuration.html

Management Guide: https://docs.haproxy.org/3.0/management.html

Having all the similar docs together in the same file (all config options, for example) is refreshingly simple.

I find the chatgpt-4o advanced mode to absolutely be "really interesting". And the video input they showed in the demos (and hope would same day release) could be a real game changer. One thing I would like to try, once that's out, is to put a computer with it amongst a group of students listening to a short lecture about something outside its training set and then check how the AI does on a comprehension quiz following the lecture - my feeling is that it would do significantly better than the average human student on most subjects.

I agree that this proposal isn't great. But also that you're not responding to what the comment is really saying - it's responding to the "just use rust" suggestion. If Rust is a good choice, great. But that doesn't mean we should abandon all attempts to improve standardization of C++. And I mean "attempts" - production conversation should be around why something doesn't work and why it fails, "just use rust" is not really relevant here. It's perfectly fine to say when starting a new project or figuring out how to rewrite an existing codebase, but in a conversation about C++ standards it's just not relevant.

I like Rust and very happy it's being used more and more. I am just tired of it constantly coming up in any talks about C++ on HN.

> noise (which does not compress according to information theory)

That's true in theory/isolation, but in practice we know the noise has much lower maximum amplitude than the original image. I.e. if you take a difference between two frames, almost all of it will require less bits per pixel than the signal. (And that allows compression in practice)
I've unfortunately noticed that many people don't usually accept analogues or metaphors in arguments, unless they are trying to work with you. They either dismiss them outright or attack the analogue/metaphor without understanding it's an analogue/metaphor.

It's an order of magnitude harder to debug when you don't have access to prod, but there's a reason to block that access. I think you need to put controls on that fairly early in your project's evolution.

Any good strategies to reduce the pain? My previous employer never solved this.

I always wanted to explore contextual logging - by which I mean, logging is terse by default, but in an error state, the stack is walked for contextual info to make the log entry richer; and also, ideally, previous debug log entries that are suppressed by default are instead written. I guess that implies buffering log entries and writing only a subset at the end of the happy path.

To illustrate what I mean: happy path log:

10:21:05 Scumbulated

I'm reacting to hard-to-repro bugs at $employer where we chucked logging statements at a dartboard, deployed, waited, didn't capture the issue, repeat several times. At a cadence of 5-10 deploys a week, this is below what I consider acceptable velocity. We often took days to fix major bugs, we'd run degraded for weeks at a time.
Nice thanks for that, it's been a while since both I read the novel and saw the film. That's actually a much more nuanced and intriguing take. I might have to reread it now! This article makes me want to read the rest of his works, too.
> I still don’t see most people naturally gravitating to these tools.

I barely know anyone who doesn't use ChatGPT frequently, to help wording an email or such. I agree though that in instances like this it is not transformative to society and rather one more tool that we use. We will see, IMO the impact of the current AI technology on the world is rather "medium".
It is still easier than a full rewrite.

Adoption of C++, Objective-C over C, Typescript over JavaScript, versus alternatives that forced full rewrites, should be taken into account.

It is no accident that one of Swift's long term roadmaps, is having for C++ the same kind of transparent interop they leverage from clang with Objective-C.

There are many different experiences, and from a mystical perspective, infinite forms of yoga. Your comment seems to suggest that this is a normal sensation, but for me, it felt anything but normal.

What I’m trying to clarify is that while I did feel a very strange sensation, I wasn't necessarily describing the same thing you experience regularly. When I look into descriptions of third eye sensations, they don’t match what I felt, which is why it remains a mystery to me.

Especially when building the Rust compiler, at least for the time being, requires C++, and many domains Rust wants to play only have C and C++ based industry standards like Khronos APIs, CUDA, consoles,...
"True" modules rarely exist in real life. Maybe toys like Lego bricks. Even those have a lot of mismatch sometimes. Sometimes we want to build something that the toymakers never imagined.

Pipes and tubes require glue, engines require lubrification oil, bricks require cement. Lots of non-modular things holding stuff together.

But we want true modules to exist in programming, right? Why not remove all the glue and oil and messy cement? Make it _truly_ modular, everything fitting together perfectly.

I've done plenty on both sides of the argument. Had my fair share of trying to square the circle, only to end up chasing an infinite problem. Increasingly monstrous interface sets, contradictory names, things so abstract I needed a map to understand them. Sometimes using a drop of glue was better than all of it.
> When developers are pressed for time they will revert to what they are used to and know.

> My guess for a long time has been that ARC will fall just like the Winograd Schema challenge (WSC) fell: someone will do the work to generate enough (tens of thousands) examples of ARC-like tasks, then train a deep neural net and go to town.

I think that this would be the real AGI (or even superintelligence hurdle) - having essentially a metacognitive AI understand that something given to it is a novel problem, for which it would use the given examples to automatically generate synthetic data sets and then train itself (or a subordinate model) based on these examples to gain the skill of solving this general type of problem.

> The only thing we know humans can do that computers can't is identify undecidable problems (like Barber Paradoxes i.e. statements of the form "this sentence is false", as in Gödel's second incompleteness theorem). Unfortunately we already know there is no computer that can ever do that

Where did the "ever" come from? Why wouldn't future computers be able to do this at (least at) a human level?
While I agree with you in general, I see no way to actually sensibly enforce this. Whatever activity you take, it can be abused.

For example Google is abusing their position by feeding a stream of right-wing and related stuff to my mother because she clicked a Trump video a friend(?) sent her so that she watches more of this stuff, gets more negative emotions, and continues to spend her time on their site. Trying to regulate these things is terribly hard and whatever idea you come up with, the folks at big tech will find a way to go around them.
This looks like a huge improvement from the original Circle language that didn't look like C++ at all. I love it and would love to have it in C++.

I think you haven't really grappled with how laws get made.

Copyright is a thing we made up because of "people not liking the idea of other people doing something they don't like". The current specific boundaries are a careful compromise about exactly when we protect "using what I published publicly to make money somehow".

Those boundaries in large part exist because of responses to specific technologies. Before the technologies, people didn't care. After, people got upset and then we changed the laws, or the court rulings that provide detailed meaning to the laws shifted.

As an example, you could look at moral rights, which are another intellectual property right the laws for which came much later than copyright. Or you could look at how intellectual property law around music has shifted in response to recording, and again in response to sampling. Or you could look at copyright for text, which was invented in response to the printing press. And more specifically in response to some people using pioneering technology to profit from other people's creative work.

And we might not need any changes in the law here. The people at OpenAI and elsewhere know they're doing something that could well be illegal. They've been repeatedly sued, and they've chosen to make deals with some data-holders. They wouldn't be paying for published data at all if they knew they were in the clear, but they've chosen to cut many deals with publishers powerful enough to sue. They're hoovering up data anyhow because, like too many startups, they've decided they'll do what they want and see if they can get away with it.
Since you’re saying “for a while” I presume you mean ML. ML systems have had an enormous impact on productivity. There’s a huge volume of decisions that get made instantly and with far greater precision using models That were done manually before.
