I'm not sure what point you are making here. The competitive advantage is largely happening in a system that uses patents. My point is if you take that away, it is by no means certain that progress would remain a competitive advantage.

>that means blocking others which mean slowing down public progress

Only if you discount the observation that without some protection, the progress may not happen at all.

The author in this answer clearly has a version of unzip that can detect "AES_WG". Unfortunately they only vaguely said (in one of the comment) "Since then the main Linux distros have added patches to fix various issues" and didn't specify which distro.
I've heard that Rust wraps around by default?
an interesting example where this has been problematic is OpenStreetMap. They can't ingest a lot of government data b/c their project requires a relicense with their attribution-requirement (where all users are forced to have an ugly OSM bumper sticker on their maps)

Hah!

I had forgotten about this line of argument, but I came across it in a post on the EA forums arguing that you should choose what to do with your life this way. Basically if you believe that in this branch you have far above average ability (compared to yourself in other branches) to do good in the world then you should devote your life to altruism; conversely, if in this branch you have below average ability (again compared to yourself in other branches) then it's ok to spend your time playing video games instead.

So does using the vendor repos:

* https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/

This way when you upgrade your OS you don't have to worry about suddenly getting a new version (which, in the case of MySQL, may take a long time to convert its database files to the new version format).
Yes, of course I think they should have their own state like any other state. That's what a two state solution means.

I think there will need to be some security guarantees to prevent it from turning out similarly to Gaza. I have no idea what that should look like, from either side's perspective - but that's part of the negotiations for actually making the two states.

And I'm sure there will have to be similar security guarantees from the Israeli side, so Israel doesn't just decide after two weeks to invade because of a random terror attack.
It wouldn't be marketed as a devkit. It would be sold the same way nuc and mini PCs are sold. There is a market for them.
BGG favors simple games

I don't think that's fair either. If you look at the ratings, BGG seems to prefer games that score between 3.5-4 out of 5 on their complexity scale.

If they prefer anything it is novelty. The oldest game on their current top 20 is from 2005 and 15 out of the 20 are from the past 10 years.

To avoid having to slow down development of new PostgreSQL features. Improving upgrades in a way where PostgreSQL does not need to either maintain multiple different versions of parts of the code and/or lock down internal interfaces which now can change freely every major version so they cannot be refactored and improved in the future is not a trivial task, maybe even impossible. Even just the existence of pg_upgrade has to some degree limited what can be done to improve PostgreSQL. Obviously pg_upgrade is worth it, but hindering development even further might not be popular.

The PostgreSQL team simply does not have the resources to do this. At least not without significantly slowing down development of everything else which there is no political will for. Maybe someone will come up with a genius idea which solves this but I am doubtful. Usually there is no free lunch.

Maybe some core dev will correct me, I am quite familiar with the PostgreSQL project but not one of the core devs. :)

Anyone in the world with an internet connection can view, interact with, and download the British Museum’s 3D scan of the Rosetta Stone, for example.

It would actually be quite easy to verify, even though there are always workarounds.

But it must also be said that in the last decade the Politicians/Bureaucrats seem to have gotten their act together and things have actually improved though there is still a long way to go.

How should the new <selectedoption> element work?
It's somewhat amusing, that someone smart working in a language like Go would come to the same conclusion that Haskell practically forces on you (unless you work to avoid it): by default, your state should be copy-on-write.

> For this reason we duplicate the entire game state into a new, temporary render-only game state, and simulate the tick on this one. That way the fixed timestep game state stays untouched.

Of course, because it's Go, they have to duplicate everything explicitly. A poor-man's copy-on-write.

> You need to make sure entities are always updated in the same order. This means deterministic O(1) datastructures like pools are your friend.

That's not actually required. But I guess Go makes this the least painful avenue forward?

Show HN: The First (I Think) UI Component Library Built in Python
After immersing myself in Reflex and developing several web applications with the framework, I've combined my experience into a UI components library designed to complement Reflex's capabilities. This project, born from hands-on learning, aims to enhance the developer experience for those working with Reflex.

Drawing inspiration from mature, well-established UI libraries like shadcn/ui, I've crafted a set of components that align with modern web design principles while leveraging Reflex's unique features. The ability to seamlessly integrate both frontend and backend development using Python exclusively has been incredibly rewarding and productive.

By providing these tools, I hope to contribute to the Reflex ecosystem and help other developers streamline their workflow.

> Perhaps the most important exception is when the optimizer assumed the pointer was non-null, so optimized it in a way that produces completely unexpected behavior when it is null.

> Also use-after-free and use of uninitialized pointers is more likely to point to incorrect, but mapped, locations.

I stuck to a null pointer dereference because it's useful for demonstration since the side-effect of hitting one is usually not a huge deal, but actually it wouldn't matter if it were a huge deal or not. The point I'm trying to make, and maybe not making obvious enough, is that the null pointer dereference is just a symptom of the fact that other invariants are not being upheld; it's not just about preventing an unsafe operation, it's about preventing the kinds of incorrect code that lead to them. It's the same for a use-after-free. That's exactly why I am a fan of Rusts' borrow checker, you can statically eliminate the problem that causes use-after-frees.

It isn't really that hard to construct a memory safe programming language, but the "obvious" ways of doing it have trade-offs that are undesirable or infeasible for some use cases. Rather than make the operations "more safe" by ducktaping runtime checks, Rust just forces the code to be more correct by statically checking invariants.
Some of my first work (as a very junior programmer and researcher) in the UK was in part funded and instantiated in the reaction to the 5th generation initiatives. The research community in the UK reacted to what was called "the Alvey report". It led to an explosion of inter uni collaborative projects, the newer GEC 400 (?) Series computer was often deployed in this work. I think it wound up almost exclusively in defence deployment like AWACS roles in the nimrod project. It had a bit of an overheating problem and led to many fine "halt and catch fire instruction" jokes.

The idea that both the 5th generation projects in Japan would work and that without the alvey projects we'd somehow "lose the race" was compelling pressure to seek funds and do things. It didn't turn out that way.

2) Facebook felt jealous and embiggened its name to "Meta" (one layer above

3) Musk embiggened Twitter to X, a variable that can stand for anything,
so it can be construed to encompass both "Alphabet" and "Meta".

4) Altman embiggens Worldcoin to World.

"World" is actually quite modest, and reminds one of the IPO of WorldOnline in 2000, which was a flop and predated the stock market crash by a couple of months.
