I don't think Safe C++ has a Hindley-Milner type system? I think it's just the "Just the machine integers wearing funny hats†" types from C which were passed on to C++

In K&R C this very spartan type system makes some sense, there's no resources, you're on a tiny Unix machine, you'd otherwise be grateful for an assembler. In C++ it does look kinda silly, like an SUV with a lawnmower engine. Or one of those very complicated looking board games which turns out to just be Snakes and Ladders with more steps.

But I don't think Safe C++ fixes that anyhow.

† Technically maybe the C pointer types are not just the integers wearing a funny hat. That's one of many unresolved soundness bugs in the language, hence ISO/IEC DTS 6010 (which will some day become a TR)
They want to talk about the series so the article isn't really jumping the gun. The title is just their hook.
But, assuming the cops are right for a minute, wouldn't you want your phone to reboot so it would be harder for them to brute force it?
I argue never dual-boot Qubes [with it installed on an internal drive] because Windows can [theoretically] read those partitions. Better to just get a separate application-specific system for gaming.

I daily drive Qubes on i7 Comet and Raptor Lakes, 64GB and 128GB RAM respectively. I run LLMs on their GTX and RTX cards (albeit slowly on the Comet Lake/GTX system). Digital crac... err gaming is the only thing I am pretty well locked out from.
You're spot on about playing during development. But I don't think the point about microtransactions should be extrapolated from.

Besides the fact that Hall was wrong about the numbers, there's also the fact that he's kind of missing the point. The Sparkle Pony horse made money because it was dirt cheap to produce and lucked into a niche and moment that resonated with enough players to get them to part with their disposable income. It was a consumable item, low-interest-rate phenomenon, and one-hit wonder. A full game like SC2 is (a lot) more work but also, if done right, a lot more durable.

The other problem with SC2 and increasingly most other AAA games though is that they're over-budgeted. Indie developers have shown that the cost to make a game is much lower than large game publishers are spending. But the problem is not the raw cost as such, it's how the money is spent. There was a certain expectation for what it meant to be a Blizzard game, but it wasn't really aligned with what the suits thought (not getting into what has happened to that company since). It took a small fraction of the SC2 budget to make the original StarCraft, and it just can't be demonstrated that the budget increase (adjusted for inflation) reflects a proportional increase in fun or quality. And, ironically, the good devs are still getting underpaid. Just because a lot of money is being spent doesn't mean it's being spent well.

Then, over-budgeting leads to under-performing. If a game that cost $10 million to create made $50 million, then surely a game that cost $100 million to create will make $500 million! Well, maybe, if you're Rockstar and it's RDR2, but otherwise, you're just taking a much bigger risk. Moreover, you know it's a risk, you can feel the weight of the budget during development, and you start producing anodyne crap that isn't that fun but shows a lot of superficial value for the money.

This, I'm constantly seeing reels and clips of shows and then searching for "where to stream x" on google and finding out that not only is the show not available on any of the 5 or so paid services that I have access to, it's not available for streaming at all, or if it is, it's by paying $3 per episode.
You guys remember when this was first reported, and half of HN's reaction was "they're cooked" and the other half was "this is too stupid even for Japanese court"?

Yeah
Read the text underneath the image and you'll understand.
Yeah it's because of figuring out some strategy. Probably difficult to avoid that while keeping to the minimalist vibe of the game.
They are obviously alive, but also we are obviously a colony organism. The various bacteria we transmit from mother to child, the mitochondria inherent to our cells, all of this stuff is just part of a self-similarity of life from top to bottom. With sufficient zoom-out, we need not treat individuals (or pairs) as the only unit of life replication.

Yes, P2p meth is rampant and cheap. However I look at it like this: Meth addicts will absolutely decide to become chefs if the ingredients are readily available, even if there's a McDonalds down the street. You're approaching this rationally, which is not what meth addicts are going to do.
IMO the culture wars aspect is a side hustle. Trump is the (supposed) emergency brake for people trapped inside a society that glorifies progress as getting rid of someone's livelihood.
Sometimes I can't help but feel like the past had more low hanging fruit for making big discoveries. Not that anything in genetics was particularly low hanging, but discoveries in that field were perhaps more accessible to somebody who had "only" studied it for a few years. Modern breakthroughs nowadays are more likely to require huge teams of people working for a decade or more and needing funding to match.
And I can show a few mass shootings by deranged people on the other side, hundrends of thousands of social media posts about beating up republicans and even straight advocating murder, not to mention a couple of actual assasination attempts of an ex-President presidential candidate.

I guess that's not "literal proof", some loonie asking bullshit is...
It doesn't strive to be a complete implementation.

If users send patches support for them, new syscalls can be added.
Or downstream users can keep those definitions in their own program.
More complex features like threads are out of scope.

No, I'm claiming this because reality and facts have a liberal bias.
I read the article waiting for an answer to the question "in what operational sense does this matter?" but it never arrived.

The question posed is whether we consider mitochondria to be "alive". It's just a word, who cares. What do we do differently given this assumption?
> women between the ages of 18 and 29 preferred Harris 58% to 40%, their male peers chose Trump 56% to 42%

I believe this age group correctly represents the kind of people taking this supposed movement seriously. Have they considered their own female friends may also be Trump supporters? The difference is just 2% between men and women.

> management is very creative

What you described, I wouldn't accept generally under my definition of creativity.

In order for creativity to be such it must ultimately deliver value; managers "doing their job" in ways which hinder instead of supporting engineers is not creative, it's disruptive.
This is a really neat game. I love how you're showing that you can build fun small games on the web. I always toy with the idea of doing gamedev and seeing things like this are both fun and inspirational.
Yeah and that one app will be SimpleX or I may as well be dead to everyone, if I went down that road.
Ok. I’m glad I clicked those. I know it’s his voice. But still worth hearing.
> But do you know how Agile was invented? It was a group of software developers, tired of heavy management processes, who came together to decide how to make their processes lightweight.

Agile is agile the same way the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea is a democracy. And like most dictatorships with these names, I’m sure they also have a founding myth that claims a genuine concern for Democracy and the People.

Software developers are concerned with developing software. The people with the time and energy to develop and sell methodologies like Agile are not in the business of developing software; they’re in the business of selling methodologies. Maybe they’re consultants trying to sell clients on the methodology as a selling point for their consultancy (much of Agile seems geared to this), or maybe they’re trying to train people to be Certified Scrum Masters or whatever. Either way, you can’t actually sell people a methodology that boils down to reducing methodology because then you have nothing to sell.

I know I sound cynical, but the reality is that human behavior is driven by incentives and anyone who genuinely cared about making processes lightweight has little incentive to hang around the Agile scene fighting with the grifters.
I still think about the fact that we're this close to proving the protocell theory, proving that we can create life from no life. Last time I read about it was 2021, and I'm really curious when the day arises we succeed
It's a minor inconvenience to reenter your PIN, and it's optional and disabled by default. Seems harmless.
That Trump would have conceded election if he lost is not factual.
Ya, I'm guessing these cops don't have iPhones because if they did they would know that iOS is just buggy. I mean, the last time I restarted my iPhone before iOS 18 was when I installed the last iOS 17 patch. Since installing iOS 18 I've had to restart it twice because it stopped responding.

Selfhosting is my hobby but I am also an SRE. I am hesitant to do this because the instruction is "too easy" -- "Simply open your firewall, download and run this installer.sh with sudo on your server and that's it!"[1].

How do I secure the webserver and the data? Where is the data on my disk? How to backup and restore? High availability?

There might be detailed documentation somewhere, or I can even read the code. But these are the important things an open source software should tell its users right off the bat.

Any time a police encounter starts, you can at least tap the standby button 5 times. It's not as good as a shutdown, but it will at least disable biometrics so it will require a password to unlock. They can't legally force you to reveal your password.
Oligarchs or technocrats. In the end you see the 1000 odd people in government and they are not islands . Some people will befriend them (oligarchs and technocrats) and of course they are at the very top of the Maslow pyramid of needs and so of course they'd bond over their opinions about "how society should work to maximize welfare"
Companies lie to the public and sell products that contain a useless drug that does nothing, the FDA wants the products with the useless drug removed because the companies selling them are just ripping people off, and your conclusion is that the FDA is the problem?

>Defining mitochondria as “nonliving” isn’t just a classification mistake, nor a question of word choice. Rather, it is a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature and role of mitochondria. It inherently undermines our understanding of biological systems and deeply influences the tools we build to study them.

This assertion is made but not supported. I don't think I understand the importance of this distinction, assuming that everyone already agrees about the evolutionary and mechanical facts about mitochondria, but as far as I can tell, no one disagrees that mitochondria were originally free living cells, or that they have their own DNA, or any of the other relevant facts about their origins or how they work in the cell. It's merely an argument about what it means to be alive. Which is philosophically interesting, but practically unimportant for the practice of biology.

This seems like a purely semantic debate with no broader importance.

GrapheneOS implements basically this as a security feature against non-persistent malware, and I think it's a great idea that all phones should do. Graphene has your phone reboot after an uptime greater than some value you pick.
No, not at all like incels or MGTOW. When women do it it's stunning and brave. It's a protest for what's right.

When men do it it's cowardly and needy, a result of being so unworthy that no reasonable person would want to be around them.
I don't know, I start feeling off when just watching a video of the game (a little queasy, a bit of a headache). I think that playing it in VR would be a horrible experience.
I was thinking the same thing -- I've had to reboot my iPhone a couple of times since installing iOS 18 because it became unresponsive. It's been years since I've had an iPhone do that so this is very unusual.

> Again after Roe's overturn - nothing. It will once again be nothing.

Something that campaigns haven't grappled with yet is that turning over abortion to states has been an extremely stable outcome. A supermajority of people will be happy with whatever their state's law is, whichever it tilts to. Very few people are going to vote on a national campaign to overturn another state's law, and even fewer if they are on the side of personal rights..

As a issue for a national campaign it's a loser and will only cost you votes.
people who are not in the middle can have perfectly open minds, they just agree with more of their perfectly open minded neighbors. I said left-right because it was convenient, but voting does not really work that way, it's an n-dimensional space of little tugs of war.

but, since you are disappointed by what I wrote, I won't go on to cover the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, they are far and away more disappointing, but in a like manner, the electoral college of physics shows no signs of being open to change, the small quantum states won't go along.
All organelles are valid. This is not a competition. Both mitochondria and ribosomes are cool in different ways.
The two halves of the divided cells will usually both have mitochondria. Not always, though; sometimes cell division leaves one cell without any mitochrondria. That usually results in a non-viable cell, but sometimes the cell can survive with limited capacity. Some species that used to have mitochondria have apparently been through this process and have evolved to survive in their absence; Giardia duodenalis for example.
I don't actually see an accuracy number, only the claim of "millimeter precision", which is actually pretty bad for calipers. Looks like a fun project though. Basically a linear resolver sensor I guess. From how much effort the author has put into the project I'd estimate the accuracy is much better than +/- 0.5mm.
> 2) Traditionally, we always think of telomere reduction and genetic mutations as the root cause of aging but not mitochondrial genetic damages.

A lot of research is looking into the role of mitochondrial damage as causes for a number of conditions.

even in the US a lot of doctors say this because it is usually less of a pain in the ass than filling out referral paperwork to specialists that cost more for the patient anyways.

part of the problem in the US is that at least some medical practices/hospitals measure patient satisfaction as a metric to evaluate performance, but what is good for the patient and what makes them happy is not necessarily correlated. it's a factor into how the opioid epidemic got as bad as it did in the US. and also i'd imagine if you kept telling people this for decades and they didn't listen people might just not bother.
The left is doing what it always does when it loses, turning on itself. Plenty of feminists are blaming white women as a bloc, and other women for "white adjacent" behavior as they call it. They're turning against Latinos, Arabs and Native Americans as well.

People are angry and looking for scapegoats, and one thing modern intersectional leftism does well is provide convenient scapegoats.

Yeah good point. Its sort of hidden in my argument, but economic diversity (including density) is part of the overall diversity and it's critical to "the system as a whole".

That office building might have more economic outpiut, but at the end of the day it's the farm that feeds people and mines that provide materials to build the offices. We can do without Meta or Google, but without farms people start starving and revolting pretty quickly.

There is so much hype here from people who don’t seem to understand that Space X is years behind schedule and over budget.

Saturn V went to the moon with crew on its sixth flight. Space X have yet to complete a flight without an accident or lift any payload at all, putting aside their claimed capability.

People seem so dazzled by the hype that they fail to see this system isn’t working.

Each rocket costs the taxpayer billions and this far they are being destroyed. Even worse the cost per seat with Space X in Falcon is not cheaper than Soyuz in real terms despite the reusability.

Wonder why the cost of refurbishing these rockets isn’t shared?

This will be downvoted but it doesn’t make any of it untrue. Space X is failing in front of cheering crowds who think they are inventing what they have copied.
Right? "I don't like what you stand for or your views on certain topics, but I do want to enjoy the product you make, so I feel justified in not compensating you for partaking in the services you provide."

Can I stiff my Uber driver if I don't agree with their politics? If I don't like their car? Can my boss not pay me for developing software if I didn't laugh enough at his jokes?

We find it easy to say "no" in those cases. But because media piracy is pretty easy to do and pretty difficult to punish, we simply stop caring.
