I’m aging myself, but ~17 years ago I was in San Diego for a conference. There was a table level competition to see who could write the fastest program in 20 minutes (we were doing a full text search of a ‘giant’ 5g file). One of the guys at the table wrote some SPARC assembly to optimize character matching that was a hotspot like he was speaking French.

My bad. You’re right. It was group theory and cryptanalysis. Number theory comes in later in the 1970s for public key cryptography (1976 publicly, early 1970s at GCHQ). So the military work on it really started in the late 1960s.

> You may be pleased to hear that those kinds of communities are actually alive and well, they just live on places like discord now.

But that is exactly what it wasn't. Discord is a proprietary walled-garden like too many others today. I tried to access a forum there once and it demanded both registration and a phone number. No thanks. That's not the open Internet.

The open communities were defined by the openness. Using standard protocols like SMTP, NNTP, HTTP (on public websites, not walled gardens).

hi simon. i direct messaged you on twitter about a PoC i did of this in aug 2022, but never heard back - i thought you might have been interested. my twitter handle is justjs14.

i have some code i would have to dig out that did this very thing - it allows you to open a SQLite db in browser using sqlite (with a VFS) compiled to wasm (not the official WASM build), make changes and both push and pull WALs to and from a server (or indeed browser to browser would be possible both manually or over WebRTC). it even works with github pages if you give the browser client a github token to work with.

if you are interested, feel free to ping me and i can see if i can get this up and running from scratch again. i did a ton of experiments with this approach around then and i think it could be useful for a subset of applications at least.

there's also a working demo of the pull functionality only here: https://just.billywhizz.io/sqlite/demo/#https://just.billywh...

> But for single-player games

We were talking about people cheating at multiplayer co-op in this thread. I don't think people use rule-breaking cheats in multiplayer games (competitive or otherwise) purely for the story in the game, or they could go watch a TV show/movie or read a book instead and get a better story. (Or watch someone else play it!)

> for me, i'd much rather write "winner" on a t-shirt and wear it than prance around in a t-shirt that I legit competed for and won, and I need the world to know that about me. What kind of fragile ego does that? I'm more likely to see that as a "special kind of person."

These aren't the only two options. You can also just challenge yourself for the satisfaction of overcoming challenges and not wear a t-shirt. I think when people cheat at something where the outcome is broadcast there is almost always an element of status seeking.

market, maybe, "free" market? I doubt it.

It's not a very free market when there is such a large power differential between the buyer and the seller. You can't exactly shop around for the ambulance or the hospital when you need it, nor can you realistically circumvent the artificially constrained supply [1] of doctors to get cheaper healthcare (unless you live next to the border).

When the alternative is a one-sided market like this, government becomes rather more appealing.

The comparison to TV watching or playing pretend is apt, though I don't see how cheating at multiplayer games is an improvement over those. If you cheat in something like helldivers 2 (what my comment is meant to address) that can also spoil other peoples' experience who actually want a challenge. Besides, nowadays you have the option of just watching someone else play a game to completion on twitch or youtube, which is quite popular.

The C standard says, and I quote:

>Possible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results ... or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment (with or without the issuance of a diagnostic message)

So a compiler is absolutely welcome to make undefined behavior safe. In fact every compiler I know of, such as GCC, clang, MSVC has flags to make various undefined behavior safe, such as signed integer overflow, type punning, casting function pointers to void pointers.

The Linux kernel is notorious for leveraging undefined behavior in C for which GCC guarantees specific and well defined behavior.

It looks like there is also the notion of unspecified behavior, which gives compilers a choice about the behavior and does not require compilers to document that choice or even choose consistently.

And finally there is what you bring up, which is implementation defined behavior which is defined as a subset of unspecified behavior in which compilers must document the choice.
He works (or recently worked) for Mozilla on security-related projects. The code commit fixing the issue was isolated to the /dom/ directory in the source tree, and Firefox does not support CSS Animation Timelines. The Animation Timelines code is not directly accessed by web devs, and it appears the only way to execute that code is via the JS API for Animation Timelines. I'm not a web security expert, but the signs seem to point to him being correct.

Once again, JS proves to be a security risk.

They can be useful when adding things to an array in a loop. A trivial example which removes a character from a null terminated string:

void remove_char(char *s, char c) {
size_t i, j;

for (i = j = 0; s[i] != '\0'; i++)
if (s[i] != c)
s[j++] = c;
s[j] = '\0';
}

This might be better expressed with a higher order filter function, but C is too low level for things like that.

There are also idioms for stack manipulation using them: "stack[sp++] = pushed" and "popped = stack[--sp]".

C code does a lot of incrementing and decrementing by one, and so having dedicated syntax for it is convenient.

> stay true to yourself

Herd mentality is dreadful, but given how fickle and flawed the self is, this, too, can be terrible advice. There is a reason why Shakespeare had Polonius, a total buffoon, give the "to thine own self be true" speech in Hamlet. But our English departments have, for the most part, completely misread this passage, and, in doing so, revealed their basic worldview and moral orientation.

To borrow from Augustine, a man has really only one fundamental choice to make in life. Either he conforms himself and his desires to the truth, or he conforms the "truth" to himself and his desires. Both paths will entail suffering, but it is the latter that leads to misery. Self-absorption is the very prison that produced your problems in the first place. As Zizek would say, you just discover a lot of shit. Only the first one leads to authentic freedom. The self is not the source of truth, but can be its reflection. That is only possible if you turn away from the self and toward the truth.

So I would say: stay true to the truth. Anything else is a dead end.

No, not really? Fukushima first became operational in 1971. That's 40 years before that incident or 50 years ago.

Development of generation III+ "fail-safe" reactors began to be developed around 1990's. To my knowledge none of them have had accidents like Fukushima.

Also Fukushima didn't result in any, or nearly no, deaths. However, I do hear of major oil catastrophes every decade or less. Deep Horizon accident in 2010 in comparison had 11 fatalities, 17 injuries, and spilled 134 million gallons of oil polluting almost the entire Gulf of Mexico.

According to Google the history of "fail safe" reactors is:

The problem isn't activists, it's the climate. The Colorado River system has been in a drought for 20 years, and for all we know it'll be in a drought for 100 more. (It's not clear to me this is anthropogenic, my impression is that it's a natural cycle of drought exacerbated by global climate change, but it's beside the point.)

Read up on the Colorado River Compact. Where the Water Goes by David Owens is a very accessible primer. The tl;dr is that the water was portioned out to the Western states (including Arizona) during an unusually wet period, and we're now in a period of drought. They simply didn't understand this in 1922. With the advent of dendrochronology, we now understand that this river system is prone to droughts that can last hundreds of years.

This is the obstruction to using them in an educational setting. If they were available for $600+ each but already completely built (minimal DIY), they would be more likely to get into (some) schools.
The reality is that the average high school student will not have truly read 50-100 novels, and the opportunity cost of doing so would be substantial for the diverse aptitudes that comprise the entire youth population.

>>> what I was thinking of [...] How could one possibly fundamentally expound upon the keyboard or mouse?

You're wearing a VR headset, so the visual UX of keyboard and mouse can be 3D anything. The keyboard and surround is all multitouch. The keyboard is n-key rollover - feel free to chord. The mouse is tracked in 3D. It's also on a motorized arm, so it has force feedback, and you can leave it wherever, or have it move itself. You have two of them. Your hands are tracked in 3D, so feel free to gesture, and to interact with the visual environment. If you value the fingertip feel of your keyboard, you can stick with fingernail vibrators. The mouse surface is variously pressure sensitive. The mouse surface is vibrator chips. The keys are covered with vibrators. The keys are multi-axis pressure sensitive. Your palm and back of hand are covered with vibrators. The headset provides a high-resolution soundscape. The headset tracks head and gaze. Any screen is notional, as the headset provides high resolution content with any apparent focus depth. The keyboard is on a robot arm, so you can stand or pace - just ask, and it will be at hand. For some tasks, like sorting piles of objects, you might briefly prefer a different interface device.

Much of that is current-ish tech. Though painful to gather and make comfortable, given a dysfunctional market for such.

Contrast the available design richness of phone vs desktop, interface and apps. Imagine desktop absorbing lessons where phone is better. Now try to imagine the design richness available to desktop vs something, where something isn't pretending to be a half-century old terminal emulating a manual office typewriter.
> The real benefit for ... Citrix is: latency.

I understand your point about big iron, but where does something like Citrix reduce latency?

My estimation would be: Compared to a desktop Citrix adds distance and layers between the user and the compute/storage/etc., and the competition for resources on the Citrix server would tend to increase latency compared to the mostly idle desktop.

Hi, it me.

I have an iPhone 13 Mini that will have to be pried from my cold dead hands because it's about as big a phone as I'm willing to carry (I'd still rather have the 5s form factor.)

I also have an iPad Mini that supplements it perfectly.

Really don't want anything larger, because I like to handle it with one hand while walking or I'm propping it up in a tight space like when I'm watching a how-to video while doing a home-improvement project or working on my car.

There is absolutely no way I'd buy a phone as gigantic as a Max.

Honestly not sure how people walk around with those things.

I support a wealth tax. I think a good starting point is a 1% tax on wealth above $10M and 3% on wealth above $100M.

I also support a more progressive income tax, say the tax rates of 1945, which had lower taxes on the lowest income people (even with FICA/SS taxes), and higher taxes for the highest incomes.
