Fair point but the edit window has passed ;). For the sake of clarity for those still following along: "framework," in the context of my above comments, includes any non-formally-standardized tools or APIs which are built atop the standardized core.

So dangerous to extrapolate from anecdotal observation like this. If I see old people smoking, doesn't mean smoking is safe. It just means it doesn't kill at 100% effectiveness.
My impression is that cperciva has been working on FreeBSD/EC2 boot times for the last six years, not just specifically some changes in 14.

I refuse to fuck with the socials, so I am unencumbered by the moral and ethical dilemma of disengaging.

On the one hand I want to say: fuck the socials! to these victims, but it's more complex when you are already a participant.

At that point you have to wonder if you are being pushed out of a space you want to engage in, and by leaving, you are fulfilling the desire of those in control of it to be a place where your experience is abnegated.

Do you stay to be a light in the darkness the platform is casting on those experiences for the others that remain on the platform?

But I always return to money. Engaging in harmony or engaging in opposition, either way, the unethical sociopaths who are making these decisions benefit.

Is the best technoactivism creating an alternative in your likeness?

What terrible thing to say to the victims.

Yeah. The team agreed I should just do the two stories, which was what was committed to in that sprint. I got that done and then ripped through those other 11 stories in the slack time before I left the team. My TL supported that I didn't do anything wrong in picking up the stories. The PO still didn't like it.
No. They're in a completely different agriculture related business. They have a custom web app to run the business part of their business, but rely heavily on their WordPress site for marketing, discovery, and customer acquisition.

They have a quite technical marketing team (well, two people) who run the WP site, which they're quite aware of how often plugin and partner theme upgrades show up. The call was basically "So what's going to happen with WordPress and plugins? Are we going to be able to rely on updates and future security for the website?" She wasn't worried that they were gonna get caught up in a trademark problem, but that the trademark "war" would kill off WordPress core development, and/or the future development and bug/security fixes of the plugins they rely on. A reasonably valid fear, and one that I certainly don't dismiss out of hand.

> Furthermore, the slide above shows that Arm's market share has increased across the board over the last two years. With that in mind, I think the company is well positioned to continue benefiting from new chip-based devices, since Arm's IP is already leveraged across so many devices around the world.

> For this reason, I see Arm as less vulnerable to competitive forces in the chip space compared to peers such as Nvidia.

Tell me you don't work in tech without telling me you don't work in tech.

Nvidia tried to buy ARM because they had synergistic potential. ARM's default Cortex lineup of cores was unapologetically awful, and Nvidia had the opportunity to incentivize ARM's stock designs to compete against Apple/Nuvia/Samsung/Qualcomm again. ARM would have likely accepted the deal if there was potential for it to go through, because right now they're playing second-fiddle to their own shareholders. Their arms are tied by the bevvy of interests in their non-competition.

ARM as IP is valuable. ARM as a competitive company producing industry-leading and competitive designs is laughably impotent. They are the business definition of a pushover, and Nvidia's acquisition was their escape route to being an engineering org instead of a law firm.
Does memory safety have a flushed out idea? Is it a form of borrow checking or something else? And if I recall correctly thread safety isn’t a target at all right? Not sure how to square that with memory safety as a goal given the two are linked.
I agree, and it seems like such a commonsense (and proven!) approach that I can't help but think any opposition is simply from super wealthy people themselves or those they've managed to brainwash.

Problem with current folds is that I want the screen to open/extend. I don't want to open YET ANOTHER LARGER screen. This makes most sense tbf. You want a phone to extend into a tablet, and actually have the first screen still be usable. It cuts down cost and waste of always having at least one screen always off.

Having read this, I don't think there is any accusation of criminal behavior in this report.

The accusation is that he made people uncomfortable, didn't do enough to change that when it was raised, and defended criminal behavior by insisting on distinctions that the authors of the report consider immaterial or harmful.

I worked for RMS/FSF briefly and I think there is something about his radical refusal to compromise on anything conceptual (to avoid conflict or misunderstanding, e.g.) that is fundamentally incompatible with running an organization. This is on display here.

So I think it's probably right for FSF and RMS to part ways, but I also think it's positive for the world for him to keep on insisting on moral clarity in his terms.

At the same time, everybody should read the whole report and decide whether they think RMS's insistence on the distinctions rejected by the authors is helpful or unhelpful. I think some of RMS's distinctions could be helpful to the cause of reducing the incidence of sexual abuse.
It was always the correct option, it's a shame it's taken people like yourself so long to get the memo.

I'm torn. I'm not a huge fan of malware and I don't have a lot of respect for the modern ad networks. However this culture of expecting websites to host the data then freeloading off it by blocking the tracking and ads is also a bit ugly.

There is an unwritten social contract here. Websites are willing to host and organise a vast number of content because that'll attract an audience for ads. If there are too may freeloaders resisting the ads then services won't host the content, and on the path to that the freeloaders are really just leeching off a system in an entitled way (unless their goal is to destroy the services they use in which case good on them for consistency and for picking a worthy target).

If people aren't going to be polite and accept that contract then fine, enforcement was always by an honour system. But strategically if a service's social contract doesn't work for someone then they shouldn't use that service - they'd just be feeding the beast. They should go make their own service work or investigate the long list of alternative platforms.

DOT Penalizes Lufthansa $4M for Violating Passengers' Civil Rights
I don't know why, from the start, we haven't used nuclear power more for baseload.

China is already building between 6 to 8 nuclear power plants a year and plans to expand that number to 10 a year.

It's nothing compared to all the other sources of power they are creating, but it seems to me that rather than investing in mass battery storage, a few dozen modern nuclear power plants would be a good idea.

Assuming, of course, you can actually get costs down and cut through red tape like China can.
Wow this looks fantastic! Good open-source tools for design are so necessary [1].

> It can definitely break some things

I recall it totally fudged up the ray-axis aligned bounding box intersection routine in the raytracer I worked on. The routine relied on infinities being handled correctly, and -ffast-math broke that.

I see the linked article goes into that aspect in detail, wish I had it back then.

IIRC we ended up disabling it for just that file, as it did speed up the rest my a fair bit.
Lifetime syntax is only more visible if you try to write high performance code. If you wrap everything in Rc<RefCell> or Arc<Mutex> or Box you’ll not see it show up anywhere but you’ll probably still get a performance profile better than tracing GC because time and time again it’s been shown that reliable tail latencies and peak throughputs are generally harder to achieve with a tracing GC. Where lifetimes start to pop up more is in more complicated situations where you are trying to avoid memory allocations and have even higher performing code.

And op is correct. In terms of memory safety, Java and C# aren’t as safe as you might hope because significant chunks of the runtime are still in C/C++ (not true for Go) and because of JIT miscompilation bugs (also not relevant for go). Of course JIT miscompilation in theory should be the same as a compiler miscompilation, but in practice it turns out to be worse because you have to maintain consistency between the interpreted and all the tiers of JIT at runtime and in practice humans have a hard time doing that which is why V8 constantly has security vulnerabilities in this area. That’s why GraalVM is interesting because it proposes a JIT design where you only have the compiler implemented once.

I loved it. Would like to have seen it again - something I don’t often do with theatrical releases - but my local theater dropped it pretty quick.
Nobel Prize winner of 2024 Simon Johnson interviewed:

Johnson told the AP that economic pressures were alienating many Americans.

“A lot of people who were previously in the middle class were hit very hard by the combination of globalization, automation, the decline of trade unions, and a sort of shift more broadly in corporate philosophy,” Johnson said. “So instead of workers being a resource to be developed, which they were in the 19th and early 20th century, they became a cost to be minimized … Now, that squeezed the middle class.’’

“We have, as a country, failed to deliver in recent decades on what we were previously very good at, which was sharing prosperity,” Johnson said.

One key for the future, Johnson said, is how societies manage new technologies such as artificial intelligence.

“AI could go either way,” he said. “AI could either empower people with a lot of education, make them more highly skilled, enable them to do more tasks and get more pay. Or it could be another massive wave of automation that pushes the remnants of the middle down to the bottom. And then, yes, you’re not going to like the political outcomes.’’
In their defense, I appreciate that they actually tagged it as AI. A lot of people would be tempted to post them without attribution, especially given that tagging it is a great way to get dumped on.

Even more so, they provide commentary at the bottom on the weaknesses of the model, which is useful!
I sometimes wonder how directly some of the big flashy renewable energy projects in Australia are funded by coal exports to China...
All of that is because the internet and more specifically the browser was made/evolved in a naive/idealist non-commercial mindset.
It was for university research work at first, where paying for the content was not a question because it was already paid for by others.

Then the companies who took over browser development didn't care about having a monetization/identification part to it because they didn't have content to monetize and didn't need to have their users pay for it either.

Then Google took over with their naive optimism around values of freedom and just went with ads as a "solution" to finance their whole operation in order to keep the ideal of free (ideals are always dangerous).

Now we are in a terrible situation where there is still no integrated (micro)payment nor identity system into the web browser and thus we have a seriously fucked up dichotomy: either you have content with gazillions of ads that are "free" or you have content that is only accessible with a monthly subscription, generally priced higher than what good press used to cost (which makes no sense).

This is really a problem because if you can't access everything "a la carte" web browsing is a bit pointless, being barely better than accessing media at the library or your local press stand (in fact when you count DRM issues and lack of lasting physical product, you could argue that its worse).

In my opinion the whole point of the web is that not all content is uniformly valuable in the same way to everyone. And you can't ask someone with varying interests and varying time for said interest to pay for multiple subscription to multiple sources.
And this is exactly why everything resort to ads: you can't have that many people pay subscriptions because it doesn't bring enough value to them but you also can't sell per unit because it's way too complicated/annoying for the customer to do; so, you use ads.

That being said, we should make some regulations around ad use because it's pretty obvious that some of the tech giants would not exist as they are if people really had to pay for their products. Ad use in those platforms is a pretty clear attempt at avoiding competition, you don't have to compete much if you are "free" after all (Google speciality).

Interesting thread. I only read some of it, but I did find one answer that tells me how Python and LISP differ:

As an example, I suppose that when you’re developing code in Python’s pseudo-REPL you often reimport a file containing class definitions. When you do that, what happens to all the old objects with the old class definition? Nothing, they still belong to the old class.

...

In Lisp, it’s different. There is a defined protocol for what happens when a class is redefined. Every single object belonging to the old class gets updated to the new class.

I have cognitive issues from treatments following an incomplete spinal cord injury and autoimmune problems. Managing my care is complex, with multiple drugs, appointments, symptom tracking, and scans required by a large team of specialists. My short-term memory is poor, though my long-term memory remains sharp. The drugs and chronic pain make it even harder to stay focused and manage these responsibilities.

My watch is essential in helping me keep up. It’s on my wrist from the moment I wake till the moment I sleep, ensuring I miss nothing important. I’ve restricted notifications to medical needs and use it to log symptoms or adverse effects immediately, preventing forgetfulness which was a problem previously.

Outside of my unique use case, many people I know with a watch have stopped carrying a phone altogether. They find it freeing, as the watch gives them essential tools without the distraction of a larger device. Its limitations are a benefit, allowing them to focus on the moment and carry less.
iPad Mini cellular is data-only. PSTN calls and SMS require a VOIP client or separate dumbphone. E2EE audio/video are available in several messaging apps, including FaceTime, making good use of the larger screen.
