Well, it's not true that it isn't used in production. Google has been burned and at least historically did not use it. But I know some services at Facebook use it in production.

Yes, historically it was a big source of security bugs. I think that has tapered off somewhat as the rate of change slows down.
English orthography isn't really hacked together. Most of the "examples" I see people bandy about are because you're reading the wrong English: try Old English, instead. For example, knight: it was pronounced "k-ng-ee-h-tuh" (my IPA is too rusty to use). That's, like, precisely how it's spelled? What's gone wrong is the our modern pronunciation is poor.

Other languages have this even worse. Try comparing Egyptian Colloquial Arabic vs literary Arabic. I mean... these are different languages. Or, for instance, American Sign Language (ASL) vs. written English: the former is more like Chinese than English.
Cambodia is mostly exporting their sand to Singapore as part of land reclamation projects. Environmentalists are super mad about it because the easiest sand to harvest is from sensitive Cambodian wetlands, which then gets shipped about 4 days south to Singapore.
Clickbait.

No, NASA didn't exterminate any lifeform on Mars. It sterilized a soil sample to look for chemical signatures of life. A normal procedure. Not worth any kind of article at all, least of all this trash.

Some time ago, I wanted to update Arch, on a server running some python project I had inherited. Long story short, it relied on something that relied on something that etc., and then it turned out certain components that were needed for the upgrade process had been taken offline. Now the system can’t be changed, unless there’s significant work done to the code, and that’s too expensive. It runs on request in a container now, while it lasts.

>What exactly are these exotic sites you are visiting that break in Firefox?

In my case, an example of a non-exotic site is Youtube streaming 4k 60fps videos. I tried with latest Firefox a few months ago and it was still stuttering and glitchy. But Chrome plays smoothly with no issues. I previously mentioned that 4k playback has been a long-standing issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28783904

On one hand, my computer is fairly old ... but then again, Chrome works fine on that same old hardware.

> sacrifice more Ukrainian men for the meat grinder?

To the extent there's a meat grinder, it's of Russians [1].

> What has that accomplished so far?

Russia's disqualifying itself as a conventional military threat for at least a generation. It's not yet there yet, largely because Ukraine has been unable to target its war marchine. But the startling inefficacy of its army and technology has been made clear. Moreover, the front line has been maintained in Ukraine: that keeps them further from NATO and thus American and European boys at home.

I don't know anything about you for sure other than you generate text. I don't see how that's a weak argument. It's literally true.
Interesting twist…

I chose “provocation” because thats what russians often use (and call for nuking west pretty much every day for decades now).
Biden also threatened to blow up the Nord-Stream 2 pipeline,

Nope. He said it would be "ended", meaning the one thing that it obviously means -- that it would be shut off.

everybody said "it was Russia"

Nope -- some people said that.

The reasonable, level-headed people said: "We just don't know yet".
I believe at this point we have a pretty good guess as to who sabotaged the pipeline, and it wasn't the US.
13th largest backed by the whole NATO and other US-aligned countries. They send almost everything they can outside of nuclear weapons, the most cutting edge military tech, and people (well, outside of a limited contingent of "advisors"). Let's be honest, without this backing the war would've ended in the first month as was drafted in Istanbul.

Or, instead of responding to sunk costs by getting sunk deeper into the muck, just cut your losses, ditch Node and its proprietary/non-standard APIs and unstable featureset, and use a standard runtime.

The author of the blog post is trying to run a static site generator. A static site generator doesn't need to be able to do anything that Node provides that can't be done with the World Wide Wruntime (which they're already going to use to verify the correctness of the SSG output). So use that runtime and tools that target it, not Node.

NYC's congestion pricing tolls to launch Jan. 5: What you need to know
I'm in total disagreement with your last paragraph.

In fact, I can't see how it follows from the rest.

Software can have defects, true. There are finite resources, true. So keep the tickets open. Eventually someone will fix them.

Closing something for spurious psychological reasons seems detrimental to actual engineering and it doesn't actually avoid any real problem.

Let me repeat that: ignoring a problem doesn't make it disappear.

Keep the tickets open.

Anything else is supporting a lie.
A new from-scratch implementation would suffer from a similar problem as early io_uring did (high rate of code change, which seems to be what drives security bug rates).
No, I don't mean that, because that does not happen. If other countries want recycling they pay to buy it.
If there are guns, there is death. Frankly, if there are no guns, there's still death.

You pulling an argumentative sleight of hand here conflating your run of the mill gun violence with terrorist attacks or mass shootings isn't cool.

It doesn't matter how the police is equipped, they can't stop a guy from walking up to his neighbor and shooting him in the face unless they're already there pointing guns at him. Although, maybe some sort of remote mind control chip is the answer there?

Also, I'm certain every shooting ends up on local news.

No, it's not; 9/11 was the only event that has led to invocation of the mutual defense commitments under Article 5.

It has, however, gotten involved in other conflicts, both in response to UN calls and as a result of regional security consultations under Article 4. These include, most notably, Libya beginning 2011, Kosovo beginning in 1999, and Bosnia beginning in 1992,

>What? No? How do you think we arraign pirates?

Because piracy is one of exceptions to "No stopping not your flag ships in international waters."

Here is list of exception:
(a) the ship is engaged in piracy;
(b) the ship is engaged in the slave trade;
(c) the ship is engaged in unauthorized broadcasting and the flag
State of the warship has jurisdiction under article 109;
(d) the ship is without nationality; or
(e) though flying a foreign flag or refusing to show its flag, the ship
is, in reality, of the same nationality as the warship.

>No? Why? Worst case it would be considered an act of war. Practically, they'd just be arrested.

So under which clause would you like to stop Russian ships cutting cables in international waters?

UNCLOS does have this provision around submarine cables:
Every State shall adopt the laws and regulations necessary to provide that
the breaking or injury by a ship flying its flag or by a person subject to its
jurisdiction of a submarine cable beneath the high seas done wilfully or
through culpable negligence, in such a manner as to be liable to interrupt or
obstruct telegraphic or telephonic communications, and similarly the breaking
or injury of a submarine pipeline or high-voltage power cable, shall be a
punishable offence. This provision shall apply also to conduct calculated or
likely to result in such breaking or injury. However, it shall not apply to any
break or injury caused by persons who acted merely with the legitimate object
of saving their lives or their ships, after having taken all necessary
precautions to avoid such break or injury

But Russia is obviously ignoring the rules so now what?

> Let's be honest, without this backing the war would've ended in the first month as was drafted in Istanbul

The West didn't really help Ukraine in the first month [1]. We thought the Russian army was competent and would ride into Ukraine like we did in Iraq. It wasn't until after the weakness was made apparent that aid started dripping in.

Ukraine repelled a Russian invasion on its own. Our generations-old anti-air systems are downing their latest weapons. Meanwhile, our generations-old missiles are taking out their state-of-the-art systems.

To the degree Russia has been able to claim any victory, it's in not being demolished. That's the standard. Not winning. Simply surviving.

> and Observable is cool, but strays from standard JS.

The front end does but the underlying runtime is running just javascript, and the source code is basically javascript with some trivial macros which are fully captured in the MIT licensed acorn parser. That's why normal Javascript debugging expression work perfectly in Observablehq.

https://github.com/observablehq/parser

I love the Observable runtime. I wrote a decompiler for it so you can bidirectionally convert between the front end source and the compiled pure JS representation.

I first I thought this was a regular storage microSD with an FPGA that allows you change the data live as as it is saved or something. But seems to be an fpga that has microSD connection with no real storage capability like you would have in a reguar microSD (other than storage for fpga bitstream), i.e it is not storage device use case. But why microSD? Is it just because you can load the bitstream without having to use uart or jtag?

"The Signaloid C0-microSD has two main use cases: You can either (1) use it as a hot-pluggable FPGA module, or (2) use it as a hot-pluggable Signaloid C0 RISC-V co-processor module."

That is not really a use case. Use case usually gives examples of how they are used in production, i.e, more specific about applications.
He's partially right. AI won't be able to write an interesting, wholly original script anytime soon. For that it's necessary to live as a human, to experience anguish, loss, fear, hope, etc. Art, true art, will be the last field to be taken over by AI. Has anyone seen a truly poignant AI image yet, that illuminates something about the human experience? One they would put in a museum? I haven't.

However there is such a large body of work already, all the derivative stuff can be made effortlessly. What would happen for instance if you told the AI of 2050 "I want to mix the Brothers Karazamov with the Odyssey, set on Mars after the apocalypse?" I just tried with Sonnet and its not too bad. Maybe a large enough basis of stories has already been told that most AI scripts will feel novel enough to be interesting, even if they are just interpolations in the latent narrative space humans have constructed.

Actors will be wholly unnecessary. A human director will prompt an AI to show more or less of a particular emotion or reaction. Actors are just instruments.

The three most interesting transformations AI will bring are:

1. Allowing a single human "director" to rapidly iterate on script, scenery, characters, edits, etc. One person will be able to prompt their way through a movie for the price of electricity.

2. Movies will become interactive. "Show me this movie but with more romantic tension / with a happy ending / Walt loves Jesse"

3. Holodecks will allow young people to safely experience a much broader range of events and allow them to grow their souls faster, meaning they can make better movies. Modern movies suck because life is too predictable and tech-focused for good writers to emerge. We won't ever put ourselves in real danger, but what if your senior year of high school was to live through the French Revolution in a holodeck? It would change you forever.

I'm completely aware, used to be involved in this stuff. In international waters, these are UNCLOS requirements to board a ship not of your Navy Flag.

(a) the ship is engaged in piracy;
(b) the ship is engaged in the slave trade;
(c) the ship is engaged in unauthorized broadcasting and the flag
State of the warship has jurisdiction under article 109;
(d) the ship is without nationality; or
(e) though flying a foreign flag or refusing to show its flag, the ship
is, in reality, of the same nationality as the warship
