"Vanilla" .NET runs on

Operating Systems: Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, iOS, Android, Browser

Architectures: x86, x86_64, ARMv6, ARMv7, ARMv8/ARM64, s390x, WASM

Notes:

Mono as referred here means https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/tree/main/src/mono which is an actively maintained runtime flavor, alongside CoreCLR.

- Application development targets on iOS and Android use Mono. Android can be targeted as linux-bionic with regular CoreCLR, but it's pretty niche. iOS has experimental NativeAOT support but nothing set in stone yet, there are similar plans for Android too.

- ARMv6 requires building runtime with Mono target. Bulding runtime is actually quite easy compared to other projects of similar size. There are community-published docker images for .NET 7 but I haven't seen any for .NET 8.

- WASM also uses Mono for the time being. There is a NativeAOT-LLVM experiment which promises significant bundle size and performance improvements

- For all the FreeBSD slander, .NET does a decent job at supporting it - it is listed in all sorts of OS enums, dotnet/runtime actively accepts patches to improve its support and there are contributions and considerations to ensure it does not break. It is present in https://www.freshports.org/lang/dotnet

At the end of the day, I can run .NET on my router with OpenWRT or Raspberry Pi4 and all the laptops and desktops. This is already quite a good level given it's completely self-contained platform. It takes a lot of engineering effort to support everything.
I don't think its an unpopular idea. But the fact is, being an employee is a lopsided relationship. You only have one employer but they have many employees. You leave and they still have an army to keep the business going but you get laid off and your income goes to 0. So yeah you can keep some money in the bank but still being without work especially with a family and mortgage, is a terrible spot to be in.
Mine fell off from the roof of a moving car at highway speeds and subsequently spent 30 mins being run over by cars until it was picked back up. Otherwise no complaints.

> A good researcher describes their study, shows their data and lays their own conclusions.

Tangent: I think that this attitude of scientific study can be applied to journalism to create a mode of articles between "neutral" reports and editorials. In the in-between mode, journalists can and should present their evidence without sharing their own conclusions, and then they should present their first-order conclusions (e.g. what the author personally thinks that this data says about reality) in the same article even if their conclusions are opinionated, but should restrain from second-order opinions (e.g. about what the audience should feel or do).
An expected result when somebody drinks too much vodka! LOL
You're right! I am not a Rust programmer and mis-read the "i32" as "float32".

The text does imply the correct float solution has a similar structure to the int32 case, with "So, you will have to resort to writing machine code manually if you want to efficiently check overflows of float numbers."
> Given the expected time until the heat death of the universe, we demonstrate that the widely-accepted conclusion from the Infinite Monkeys Theorem is, in fact, misleading in our finite universe

Maybe I'm missing something here, but wasn't the analogy used to describe the nature of infinity ?

The paper is pretty cool, but it gives a weird correlation between infinity as a principle and the heat death of the universe ?
That is actually exactly my unstated point / the awareness I was hoping to achieve by trying to make that meme :D
Right, the decisions made by future researchers about what to base their work on are the real evaluation, hence citation counts as a core metric. It's easy to claim positive results by making your null hypothesis dogshit (and choice of "p" is easily the least inspired way to sabotage a null hypothesis), but researchers learn this game early and tend to not gamble their time following papers where they suspect this is what's going on. The whole thing kinda works, in a world where the alternatives don't work at all.
It now appears like there is a war on the inflationary use of the term 'war' in common linguistic use.
HN and Reddit, two aggregator sites, are outranking the original article

https://x.com/joshtyler/status/1851872361420853690

I was able to reproduce the SERPs with this query

>I attended google's creator conversation event

When I removed the "client" parameter to post the link here, the original post ranked higher. However, that's really neither here nor there. Reddit is consistently cited as outranking original content.

Personally, I've learned not to cry about sites that don't rank. My time is better spent building new sites. Sometimes de-ranked sites come back in subsequent updates. Not everything sticks on the first try. You have to be persistent if you want to profit from organic traffic.

My impression is that these creators have one-trick ponies they have deeply invested themselves into. They may not be good at creating new ideas. Expectations of fairness are misplaced. You have to roll with the punches. Dwelling on what they think Google "should be" is a waste of time. Highly recommend focusing on areas within your immediate control. Individual agency is empowering. Victimhood, not so much.

Sounds good but is that true? A single unreplicated paper could be science couldn't it? Science is a framework within which there are many things, including theories, mistakes, false negatives, replication failures, etc... Science progresses due to quantity more than quality, it is brute force in some sense that way, but it is more a journey than a destination. You "do" science moreso than you "have" science.
I stopped using general online marketplaces such as Amazon and similar precisely because I started to get burned by them.

But I still do online shopping if I can't find what I want in a local store -- I just do it directly with the company whose products I want to buy rather than go through a middleman. There are far fewer problems that way, and I know I'm going to get what I ordered. Also, if there is a problem, the company is almost always responsive and will make it right.
Haha, well, yes. I actually made all of my wood cooking implements from scratch. I cut down the trees and carved them. eg:

https://twitter.com/simonsarris/status/1473049577905401859

I use Tried and True linseed oil or linseed oil + beeswax for my coatings. Occasionally I'll use pure walnut oil.

I understand that not everyone likes to make such things! But I don't suspect its hard to find pure wood ones. Lots of people make them. Even just searching "unfinished wooden kitchen utensils" yields a lot of results.
I could be wrong but I thought it was well known and studied that the seasoned part of oil in cast iron were types of trans fats. Not great for you in any amount but also probably very tiny amounts are actually consumed.

Personally I make a lot of pressure cooker stews and things with more liquid which is less hassle and less chance of burning. If it needs to be seared in the outside then that can be done quickly without needing to cook the whole thing (pan or oven)

> Mono was a third party glorified hack to get C# to work on other OS.

Indeed, this is what I didn't like back then. Java has official support for other OSes, which C# was lacking at the time. Good to hear that things changed now.
Thanks for bringing that up to me. I did not include the largest gaming market and it seems more plausible now this the OP estimations make sense.

I wonder how much longer we will be hearing different mashups of the VMware saga. I swear this has popped up on my feeds over the past year nearly as much as iPhone 16 speculation has.
You can call a spade an apple but it doesn't make it an apple.

In order to have a DMCA counter notice there needs to be a DMCA notice. Their complaint is that there never was a DMCA notice so its not responsible to apply a counter notice policy as you are not countering a notice.
> ...but it's a great look into how a group of aging scientists and engineers (the last to really understand how Voyager 1 works) are keeping it alive.

That kind of brings up some interesting questions of team composition. When you're building something complicated that will last 50 years, you probably want a few people on the team who are: 1) talented, 2) very young (like fresh out of college), and 3) have the mindset of a lifer. You deliberately get them involved in all the stuff and put them in the room when all the decisions are made, then they serve to preserve the institutional knowledge of the project for the latter half of its lifetime.
Wood food working implements get stained, develop cracks and chips that may retain bacteria, can't go through the dishwasher, may have finishes we'll all be concerned about later, etc.

They're my least favorite to clean and most likely to throw away because I can't get them cleaned.
Those are only nominally different, insofar as the justice system chooses to call some acts one and some acts another. It doesn't speak to the nature of the act, only what we choose to classify it as.

I.e. unconstitutional searches could be criminal activity if the judiciary just decides to classify it differently.

There are certainly differences in the nature of the act that we could talk about, but how the judiciary classifies them is only a nominal difference.
I just want to be able to buy ketchup or mayonnaise in glass at the grocery store. But apparently that's not enough, you want me to bring my own container and have the grocer fill it up from the 55 gallon condiment drum?
I'm confused, I've been doing similar tab completion for function names in eclipse since about 2003...
Profoundly spiritual take. Why is that the task at hand?

The conceit that humans are machines carries with it such powerful ideology: humans are for something, we are some kind of utility, not just things in themselves, like birds and rocks. How is it anything other than an affirmation of metaphysical/theological purpose to particularly humans? Why is it like that? This must be coming from a religious context, right?

I cannot at least see how you could believe this while sustaining a rational, scientific mind about nature, cosmology, etc. Which is fine! We can all believe things, just know you cant have your cake and eat it too. Namely, if anybody should believe in fairies around here, it should probably be you!
I think this parody website is great, and I'm glad EFF went to bat for them, but (and I hope this doesn't sound semi-conspiratorial) I think this may have been the website creator's goal all along. If it was, congrats, I think you played the energy companies well.

That is, my thought is that the website deliberately used real company logos and links (it would have been easy to use fake, similar-parody names) because they knew they'd be likely to receive C&Ds from these companies whose knee jerk response would be to demand their logos be removed. Then bam, the companies seem clearly in the wrong legally, the EFF goes to bat for them and also writes a long blog post like this, and instant Streisand Effect. I mean, I would have never heard about this website if it weren't posted here. FWIW I think this was a good strategy on the part of the website creators, so kudos.
There's no single important thing— It's a combination of killing as many pathogens as you can with heat or chemicals, removing as much material as you can that bacteria feed on, and drying. Drying isn't going to do any good if your spoon is contaminated with hepatitis a, for example, and drying is much less important if you're really taking down the bacteria count by sanitizing it and don't have much for bacteria to eat in there. But if the spoon has been around the block and you're just throwing it in the dishwasher on a regular cycle, drying is a larger part of the risk reduction.

Honestly though, in home kitchens, you're waaaay more likely to get foodborne illnesses from accidental cross-contamination or time/temperature abuse of particularly risky ready-to-eat foods that people aren't as careful with as they are with meat— like cut melons and questionable been sprouts, cooked cut vegetables, cooked rice, and others. It's funny how careful people are with jarred mayonnaise, which is pretty indestructible. If that potato salad left out on the table at the picnic made you sick, it's the potatoes, not the mayonnaise.

As an aside: most people are completely wrong about what gave them food poisoning. To get a better idea, you need to look up specific symptoms and incubation periods... But contact tracing is the only way to be sure. And the most common— norovirus— could have been picked up anywhere. Even if you wash your hands right before eating, you could have gotten it from the seat you pulled out before sitting down, and alcohol isn't great at killing it. Working on restaurants, when someone said "you made me sick! I'm going to call the board of health!" I'd say "feel free. They're going to tell you to get tested to see what you have so they can compare it to other reports, and in the unlikely event that some of the other hundreds of other people who ate here when you did got the same illnesses, I'd want the board of health to know about that."

I just went through a whole thing trying to get rid of plastic from my coffee setup, since I make coffee almost every day (sometimes twice). I couldn't find any plastic-free drip coffee makers, other than maybe the Ratio 8. In the end, I settled for a Chemex and doing pour over, which I've actually really enjoyed. So I recommend that if the plastics are giving you pause, although I can imagine giving up your Moccamaster is a hard sell! How do you like it, by the way?
This is almost like saying money won't bring you happiness. Absolutely true at the high end, but for most people just a little more would have a pretty big impact on smoothing out their day to day life but there are diminishing returns. Going from hunting and pecking at 10wpm to touch typing at 60wpm is going to be a huge productivity improvement if you work on a computer on a regular basis. But going from 60wpm to 120wpm won't make nearly as much of a difference.

Thank you for this comment. So the code written in this manner isn't really "created by AI"; AI is just a nice additional feature of an editor.

I wonder if the enormous hype around AI is a good or bad thing; it's obviously both but will the good win out the bad, or will the disappointment eventually be so overwhelming as to extinguish any enthusiasm.
This is why I never put silicone in the dishwasher

Lots of things can also absorb dishwasher detergents which is probably not great for your health. But for non porous things dishwashers are great !
I only use non-stick with low heat and for items like eggs and fish. Stainless steel for everything else. Don't let perfect be the enemy of better.

In THEORY yes, but in practice, there are not a ton of journals I think that will actually publish well done research that does not come to some interesting conclusion and find some p<.05. So....
With so many mentions of DMCA in the article, and the fact that the EFF had to go through a labyrinthine DMCA counter-notice process, you'd think I'd be allowed to comment about the DMCA...

Apparently not. Sorry.

Thanks for this! I've realised that Magit does not seem to rely on VC so I'm quite glad to disable VC checks completely.

I'm seeing ~ 7 seconds of delay compared to the excrutiating ~20 seconds I was seeing before.
A superficial web search reveals a handful of options; I'm sure if you spent a little time, like 10-15 minutes, you'd find dozens. If you only look at what's on offer in stores, and aren't in a place with a lot of variety, then you're not going to have many options.

Well, perhaps we are not so far apart on this.

Your news bolsters the "soon" in my comment above.

I am quite happy to be proven wrong.
Presumably because you have Gatekeeper set to "Allow applications from: App Store" rather than "Allow applications from: App Store & Known Developers".

This is just Gatekeeper asking you which code-signing CA certs you want to mark as trusted in its kernel-internal trust store (which is, FYI, a separate thing from the OS trust store): do you want just the App Store CA to be trusted? Or do you also want the Apple Developer Program's "Self-Published App" Notarization CA to be trusted?

Choosing which code-signing CA-certs to trust will, obviously, determine which code-signed binaries pass certificate validation. Just like choosing which TLS CAs to trust, determines which websites pass certificate validation.

Code-signing certificate validation doesn't happen online, though. Just like TLS certificate validation doesn't happen online. It's just a check that the cert you have has a signing path back to some CA cert in the local trust store.
No, it doesn't because trademark isn't copyright.
People who don't are missing out. I get perfect JSON formatted responses to my prompts for pennies.

Only if there isn’t a systemic fault, eg bad prompting.

Their errors appear to disappear when you correctly set the context from conversational to adversarial testing — and Apple is actually testing the social context and not its ability to reason.

I’m just waiting for Apple to release their GSM-NoOp dataset to validate that; preliminary testing shows it’s the case, but we’d prefer to use the same dataset so it’s an apples-to-apples comparison. (They claim it will be released “soon”.)
And Rust 1.0 (which this article seems to be comparing against) came out 9 years ago. These things take time.
C# always supported stack allocations and always supported things like stack-based pointer operations. It just tagged a lot of it as "Unsafe" and/or required the `unsafe` language keyword (and concomitant security escalation in the old Framework security model where assemblies that used `unsafe` code needed additional code certificates to be installed into places like the GAC).

The "advanced" stuff is very much about bringing Rust-like lifetimes to the language and moving the powers and capabilities outside of the `unsafe` keyword world, by making it much less unsafe in similar ways to how Rust does lifetime/borrow-checking but converted to C#/CLR's classic type system. It's adding the "too clever" memory model of Rust to the much simpler memory model of a GC. (GCs are a very simple memory model invented ~70 years ago.)
I think NHST is kind of overstated as a cause of the replication crisis.

People do routinely misuse and misinterpret p-values — the worst of it I've seen is actually in the biomedical and biological sciences, but I'm not sure that matters. Attending to the appropriate use of them, as well as alternatives, is warranted.

However, even if everyone started focusing on, say, Bayesian credibility intervals I don't think it would change much. There would still be some criterion people would adopt in terms of what decision threshold to use about how to interpret a result, and it would end up looking like p-values. People would abuse that in the same ways.

Although this paper is well-intended and goes into actionable reasonable advice, it suffers some of the same problems I think is typical of this area. It tends to assume your data is fixed, and the question is how to interpret your modeling and results. But in the broader scientific context, that data isn't a fixed quantity ideally: it's collected by someone, and there's a broader question of "why this N, why this design", and so forth. So yes, ps are arbitrary, but they're not necessarily arbitrary relative to your study design, in the sense that if p < 0.05 is the standard the field has adopted, and you have a p = 0.053, the onus is on you to increase your N or choose a more powerful or more convincing design to demonstrate something at whatever threshold the field has settled on.

I'm not trying to argue for p-values per se necessarily, science is much more than p-values or even statistics, and think the broader problem lies with vocational incentives and things like that. But I do think at some level people will often, if not usually, want some categorical decision criterion to decide "this is a real effect not equal to null" and that decision criterion will always produce questionable behavior around it.

It's uncommon in science in general to be in a situation where the question of interest is to genuinely want to estimate a parameter with precision per se. There are cases of this, like in physics for example, but I think usually in other fields that's not the case. Many (most?) fields just don't have the precision of prediction of the physical sciences, to the point where differences of a parameter value from some nonzero theoretical one make a difference. Usually the hypothesis of a nonzero effect, or of some difference from an alternative; moreover, even when there is some interest in estimating a parameter value, there's often (like in physics) some implicit desire to test whether or not the value deviates significantly from a theoretical one, so you're back to a categorical decision threshold.

You shouldn't publish based on p < 0.05, but on orthogonal data you gathered on the instances that showed p < 0.05.
Yep, a lot of this comes down to "who's security" and what everyone can take as a foundation to build trust upon, or what their thresholds are
My mantra is that anything is dishwasher safe if you care little enough about it.
They also editable by developers / publishers and it's by design. Any sane developer prune their tags from time to time since Steam recommendations depend on them.

So it's not exactly a reasonable place to put something like that.
Contracts are being renewed over the next couple years yet for clients I'm working with, so probably at least that much longer.
Sure, but what if you don't want to use mp3... codecs aren't created equal. For anything latency sensitive mp3 is a non starter. For anything under bandwidth constraints, flac isn't great.

OPUS is a descendant of CELT (which never caught on, for reasons) which is an open/unhindered by patents low latency lossy codec suitable for VoIP and live streaming. It's relatively recent, but also, those use cases are more popular recently in the browser.

And to go even more extreme, some applications really care about bit-exactness in their decoders, which you don't get by relying on other vendors.
