That's bad but yea Chromium browsers can fork off and keep legacy V2 code.

> The government regularly launches initiatives, sets goals, and promotes catch phrases that are supposed to lead to greater progress and prosperity.

Some stuff has worked pretty well. I registered for a MyNumber card after years of dragging my feet. Now I can check how much tax I've paid, how much I have in my retirement fund, health insurance things, and a bunch of other stuff from my phone in like 10 seconds all from a single app. Previously I'd need to take a half day off, bring my wooden stamp to the appropriate government office, and wait for 10-30 minutes in order to make sure my stuff is in order.

I'm actually amazed how well it works.

Japan also builds infrastructure really fast.

It's not perfect, and some things lag behind other countries, but some things blow some other countries out of the water. If anything, I'd say the government moves pretty quickly with a lot of decisions (one consequence of being what's effectively a one party state, I suppose). Companies, particularly big ones, are more risk-averse.

I'm definitely not the person who would normally leap to the defense of the bigtech employer firing somebody, but I have absolutely no sympathy for people who fiddle expenses.

The company doesn't provide a laundry detergent/wineglass/acne pad benefit. They provide a food benefit. If they give you uber eats or doordash vouchers and you choose to spend it on something that is not food, you are committing expenses fraud.

You may think to yourself "all dollars are green, what's the harm?" but it's not even close to ambiguous for me. They provide that voucher for food. If you spend it on something else, that's exactly the same as if you just stole the money.

In my long experience of debugging and fixing ACPI errors exposed by Linux the reason MS Windows avoids (exposing to the operator) these firmware bugs is due to the fixes being incorporated into the Windows platform/chipset device drivers they ship.
Our problem isn't the inheritance feature itself-- it's the removal of the config knob `sql_inheritance` which lets you change whether inherited tables are included in queries by default or not (behavior controlled manually by the * notation). It's a goofy behavior nobody liked, but we have a mountain of SQL that depends on that knob. It's fixable... Just a pain :)

Yes, but the innovators' incentives don't always align with the needs of the people the regulations should protect.

Regulation are a necessary balance, otherwise the innovators become so powerful they eventually concentrate all the power and privilege and make weaker people pay for it.

Chlorofluorocarbons were an innovation for some times, then we needed regulation to save our ozone layer. Industrial wouldn't have stopped using it.

It's a fine line, constantly moving, an nobody will never be perfectly happy about it.

> Which memory location?

> And no "at the end of kernel image" is not a memory location

Like @201984 said, u-boot can load the devicetree separately and this is the more common way to boot. But even if it didn't, "the end of the kernel image" actually is a memory location. Kernel knows where it's executing from (all CPUs, not just ARM, have the Program Counter register) and it's own size (kernel decompressor knows the end of the compressed data).

> Any ARM SoC does not have defined where RAM must be.

That's known from the devicetree.

> All the Linux distros are not working, BSD is not working, Windows is not working.

False. You can take Ubuntu as example. There's only one bootable image for all ARM64. I have no experience with BSD and who tf. cares about Windows?
Nodes have different uses in OSM. I was refereeing to the case where node provide a location for way's geometry.

97.5% of nodes don’t have tags and only contain latitude and longitude data. [0]

Only 0.01 % to 0.05 % of the nodes are distinct nodes with the same coordinates and majority of them have been created by error. [1]

While there are some cases where a node provides an additional information for a way, it would still be much better, if ways would contain geometry directly (instead of node IDs) and encode that additional information differently.

If way's coordinates contain altitude as 3rd dimension, it can just store three-dimensional geometry. Any layer tag, on a node that is part of a way, could probably be moved to the way itself.

See, I read the parent post's point not as "abstractions are bad" but as "it's much better to be someone who doesn't need the abstraction, but chooses to use it". I have worked with a number of crappy embedded developers in my career. Somehow, the ones who are capable of going beneath the many levels of abstraction are always really, really good at their jobs.

So it's not that embedded Rust is bad. It's that developers who can't do their jobs without embedded Rust are usually very bad indeed. It's great when it's a choice. It's terrible when you lack the skills or perspective to work with what's under the hood.

Hezbollah was a Khomeinist response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

This "response" being armed resistance to that invasion, specifically. Eventually not only forcing the latter's withdrawal, but handing it a decisive strategic defeat (from which it is still licking its wounds). As a neat little side bonus, the US was forced to leave with its tail between its legs as well.

Which makes it not only a you-know-what movement - but (by the end of that conflict at least) a very successful one at that.
It is easier to migrate to a place where you already speak the language to an acceptable level. So I guess, congratulations to English/Spanish speaking peoples for colonizing the world so effectively?
>“There is a grave danger that the subject will develop along the line of least resistance.”

What does von Neumann mean here? Why is it bad that it will develop along the line of least resistance? Does von Neumann advice that working on "harder" problems is more beneficial for TCS? Could not one argue that we should be solving away low hanging fruits first?

I am not sure if I am understanding von Neumann's quote nor this article properly. I would love to hear some simpler explanation (I am a new BSc. CS graduate).

Do you have an ICP in mind right now? Reason I ask, is that while hyper scaler to hyper scaler makes sense and I can see that being easy to digest and therefore valuable to many, many enterprises are actually making more complicated trade offs. Namely a managed SaaS solution vs. (a pipe dream) of build it themselves on hyper scaler infra. IMO that’s the really interesting question plaguing enterprises and I saw it a lot when at Palantir doing pre sales engagement.

In practice, the hyper scalers often “buy” an enterprise customer by undercutting the incumbent (eg when a new CIO comes in), which makes the sticker price arbitrary a lot of the time.
Vampire/vulture capitalism strikes again! Looks like stakeholders have managed to bleed the company - and both customers and clients - dry. My bet is that they are now preparing to break it up and sell it off.

If that was the only point, we could simply add a compiler flag to make null pointer deref defined behaviour (raise SIGSEGV). It's already defined behaviour everywhere except the compiler's optimizer - unlike say a use after free.

I really want to try factorio, but now I usually see games as non-productive activity (that's my problem and I know it, in my defense, I've already spent way too much time gaming in college and did nothing), I wonder if factorio can make my software skill better in terms of designing and critical thinking, if that's the case, I would love to have fun and practice as well

For nature we have many models, physics, chemistry, biology, ..., depending on our needs. None of them are more wrong, but they operate at different scales and are useful in different contexts.

My gripe with theoretical computer science was that if felt like a Newtonian physics level model of digital processes, while an equivalent of biology level models would be needed for/suited to most "real-life computing".
I've used postgresql in most of my previous jobs, but using mariadb in my current one, and I must say it's a joy to administer.

The replication and high availability that mariadb offers is rock solid, and much more advanced than what postgresql has to offer.
It works out of the box, no plugins or third party shenanigans needed, and there is "one obvious way" to do it. Not a dozen options like in the postgresql ecosystem, each with it's own quirks and drawbacks.

Also, upgrades are a dream. I did 4 major long term stable release upgrades so far and everything was fully automatic and smooth sailing all around.

All of that with about 10 seconds downtime only for each upgrade, despite being a chunky 6TB database, thanks to the user friendly replication process.

I respect postgresql a lot, but mariadb allows me to sleep much better at night thanks to replication, smooth upgrades and no VACUUM to worry about.
I mean, that's a wish you could make, that publicizing wrongdoing would prevent it. Realistically, though, publicizing it will politicize it.

Someone, somewhere, will flip a coin, and then depending on your party you'll have to be either pro-murdering-people-for-their-organs, or anti. People will fight online, friendships will be ruined, families torn apart, and at the end of it there will be fewer organs getting donated, and somehow the same amount of donors getting murdered.

That's why I said, if you're making unrealistic wishes anyway, why not wish for something better? In fact, why not wish for gene therapy that makes people regenerate any injured organ, like Wolverine?
> 3. While upgrades aren't hard, they're not easy either

I guess it depends on scale? I was surprised how easy it was on Ubuntu. There was an automatic migration script, and it worked. Took less than 5 minutes to upgrade.

Sure, there was downtime, but I think most applications out there can live with scheduled downtime of a few minutes.

If you can't have downtime, then nothing is easy.
Of course to each their own. I like LOOP a lot actually when I need to do something familiar, however for something unfamiliar DO is often my choice. It also serves as a caution to tread and think carefully when I return to the code. Sometimes, after a while, I realise how to do the DO construct succintly with LOOP
Old Intel CPUs only had long double, 32 bit and 64 bit floats were a compiler hack on top of the 80 bit floating point stack.
There is also Keyoxide[1]. The goal is similar to Keybase (online identify proofs), but Keyoxide uses a decentralized approach where the identity proofs are stored on the key themselves.

Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott
You touch on something interesting there - a lack of a solid, consistent narrative, such as the Cold War, leaves a vacuum into which incoherent and disparate tales grow, as people seek a new bulk narrative to explain their world. Instead of a largely coherent narrative across societies, one ends up with numerous, usually conflicting, narratives.

Maybe we just need to accept that our narrative is more James Joyce and Marcel Proust than it is Michael Crichton.
I agree that people should care about what it is producing on their behalf, but as long as it looks like something, it's probably gonna fly—someone actually taking the time to read it is more of a hypothetical anomaly anyway.

I suspect the real problem is much more fundamental: the vast majority of work we do is bullshit, and nobody gives a fuck about any of it.
I'm not the OP you're replying to but I think you missed some of their points.

1) multiple outlines: with your strategy, you can no longer edit the shape as a single shape afterwards.

2) varying thickness: it sounds like you're thinking of thickness varying abruptly from one line segment to another, but remaining constant throughout one segment. I would like a feature where the stroke width varies continuously from one vertex to another, that is, get smoothly thicker or thinner.

3) you can only have rounded corners on every vertex or no vertex of a shape. You can't choose individually for each vertex.

I think these are all features that SVG would benefit from adding.

Good graphs, but if possible I'd have put labels on the edges showing resource required per second or something like that to keep the production line running. Some of these need a lot more iron than others.

>SOFA works great for marriage, if you tweak the params a little. Most secular people arrive at this by default: You marry your 3rd serious partner sometime in your late 20’s.

This doesn't really work great:

* Some people get really good at starting and not so good at finishing. They hurt a lot of people, eventually including themselves.

* Many people find it is too late to have the number of children they would have liked, or any children at all. This causes a lot of personal tragedy.

* Birth rates are well below replacement everywhere in the developed world, which is causing serious social problems.
A word is the unit of addressing. A 36-bit machine has 36 bits of data stored at address 1, and another 36 bits at address 2, and so forth. This is inconvenient for text processing. You have to do a lot of shifting and masking. There's a bit of hardware help on some machines. UNIVAC hardware allowed accessing one-sixth of a word (6 bits), or one-quarter of a word (8 bits), or one-third of a word (12 bits), or a half of a word (18 bits). You had to select sixth-word mode (old) or quarter-word mode (new) as a machine state.

Such machines are not byte-addressable. They have partial word accesses, instead.

Machines have been built with 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 48, 56, 60, and 64 bit word lengths.

Many "scientific" computers were built with 36-bit words and a 36-bit arithmetic unit.
This started with the IBM 701 (1952), although an FPU came later, and continued through the IBM 7094. The byte-oriented IBM System/360 machines replaced those, and made byte-addressable architecture the standard.
UNIVAC followed along with the UNIVAC 1103 (1953), which continued through the 1103A and 1105 vacuum tube machines, the later transistorized machines 1107 and 1108, and well into the 21st century. Unisys will still sell you a 36-bit machine, although it's really an emulator running on Intel Xeon CPUs.

The main argument for 36 bits was that 36-bit floats have four more bits of precision, or one more decimal digit, than 32-bit floats. 1 bit of sign, 8 bits of exponent and 27 bits of mantissa gives you a full 8 decimal digits of precision, while standard 32-bit floats with an 1 bit sign, 7-bit exponent and a 24 bit mantissa only give you 7 full decimal digits.
Double precision floating point came years later; it takes 4x as much hardware.

I had mixed feelings until I read the quote “better not to waste the credit”. That attitude rubs me up the wrong way for (a) a take what you need if/when you need it type perk and (b) someone being paid 400k.

I wouldn’t want to employ someone who saw their sick leave as something they deliberated used up in full each year (even when they didn’t need it). It’s a similar attitude IMO.

He says he affiliates a bit with physics. That is what I studied when I was young. Yes, physics attempts to concern itself with the real world. For instance, nobody in their right mind would have anything to do with quantum mechanics if it wasn't how the real world operated. In that sense it seems to me that computer science is much closer to mathematics. The computer is an artificial system constructed to be relatively easy to reason about.
From the linked Netflix article:

> The Trouble with Name Constraints

> The Name Constraints extension lives on the certificate of a CA but can’t actually constrain what a bad actor does with that CA’s private key

> Therefore, it is up to the TLS _client_ to verify that all constraints are satisfied

> However, as we extended our test suite beyond basic tests we rapidly began to lose confidence. We created a battery of test certificates which moved the subject name between the certificate’s subject common name and Subject Alternate Name extension, which mixed the use of Name Constraint whitelisting and blacklisting, and which used both DNS names and IP names in the constraint. The result was that every browser (except for Firefox, which showed a 100% pass rate) and every HTTPS client (such as Java, Node.JS, and Python) allowed some sort of Name Constraint bypass.

That’s the danger of any solution that requires trusting a self-signed CA. Better just trust the leaf certificate, maybe make it wildcard, so you only have to go through the trust-invalid-cert once?
I find Robin Hanson's interpretation resonates more (on lex podcast). According to him, the executive brain (which is a huge chunk of consciousness) acts more like a press secretary than a dictator. It creates a narrative to justify our actions to others. So making a narrative is THE JOB of the consciousness.

Think of life as one long trial. The narrative you weave is not for your benefit, really. It's for the Tribe: the judges and the jurys. So trying to weave an esoteric or arcane narrative won't work, and you know it wont, if you know others won't buy it or understand it. You need a narrative that others, or at least a subset of others that represents authority, would be able to buy. You don't really have a choice in it. It's just how we are built. And why would you want to go against it really.

Wait, when exactly did the soundness rules change since 1.0? When have you had to re-audit unsafe code?

The Rustonomicon [1] serves as a decent introduction to what you can or can't do in unsafe code, and none of that changed to my knowledge.

I agree that it's sometimes challenging to contain `unsafe` in a small blast zone, but it's pretty rare IME.
