I use ext4 on my home media server (24TB). I'm using LVM and MD, and it's been rock solid for a couple decades now, surviving all sorts of hardware failures.

I haven't missed out on any zfs or btrfs features. Yes, I know about their benefits, and no, I don't care if a few bits flip here or there over time.
Denmark is a net exporter of food. In other words a net importer of agricultural pollution. So they could refice food exports without domestic political consequences. In theory.
Absolutely, I've had 5G modems within the metro area of an Aussie city and it was horrible.
That aquifer is being depleted because of farm subsidies not in spite of them.

The US’s domestic demand for food is vastly below the actual production, exports and biofuels need not be maintained in a war.
Not only should developers design for slow internet, they should design for no internet. Shockingly, many parts of the US don't have solid cell phone coverage. Even more cell phone towers have broken uplinks or broken configurations; your phone connects to the cell, but no data flows. Cells get overloaded - at fun things like sports events and concerts. They also get overloaded at very not-fun events like natural disasters where everyone is standing around the (very overloaded) Cell On Wheels tower, trying to get a message out to their loved ones that they're OK or need help, or trying to reach their insurance company, or access a government website to get info about disaster relief, etc.

It's infuriating how many smartphone apps will show you a screen full of the information you need while online, and then when they lose internet connectivity due to a dead spot in cell coverage, yank it away leaving you staring at a blank screen with a spinning progress indicator.

It's also infuriating how so many apps are completely, totally non-functional if they don't have internet, if only because they're not actually a native smartphone app, but a website being run in gussied up web browser instance.
Elon is successful yes but why do other men feel the need to stroke him off online all the time? Strange behavior. Are you expecting a kickback?
> something like Golang's concurrency

That's wildly overselling it. Closure core async was completely incapable of doing the one extremely important innovation that made goroutines powerful: blocking.
I'd recommend using upstream apt llvm repos if you are using Debian or debian-derivatives like Ubuntu, to make sure you have the same compiler everywhere.
Volkswagen was created by the Nazis. It translates to "People's Car". It sounds pretty Socialist to me.
BYOI Heroku-Like Platform
ShapeBlock is a PaaS similar to Heroku/Railway, but runs on your infrastructure. It is designed for independent developers, startups, and agencies, Shapeblock’s BYOI (Bring Your Own Infrastructure) model lets you deploy applications effortlessly on your favourite cloud provider.
A research environment like Bell Labs freed from the behemoth of AT&T would have been a great boon to society had it stayed around in a similar form to today.
Great deep dive into AMD's Infinity Fabric!
The balance between bandwidth, latency, and clock speeds shows both clever engineering and limits under pressure.
Makes me wonder how these trade-offs will evolve in future designs. Thoughts?
Also in singapore
Starlink is normally a single hop from a home to a satellite and then down to a base station hooked up to fiber. To work over the ocean you pass messages between satellites potentially several hops and then eventually down to a base station, but that’s inherently constrained as with all mess topologies you get far less bandwidth than initially seems possible.

So in part it’s overhead to deal with inefficiencies and in part it’s a limited customer base for a lot of hardware, but it’s also just what the market will bare.
...that's only for early internet, and the early internet is effing broken at best
Well if you are able to launch junks into space extremely cheaply, I've got good news for you
Some Thoughts on Remarkability
> I don't think it's unreasonable to have a system where every program uses the same version of a library.

I really think it is. Even at the scale of a single app it may sometimes make sense to have multiple versions of a same library, if for instance it implements a given algorithm in two different ways and both ways have useful properties
No, it's when an authoritarian government wants something they'll get it. And by get it I mean "they'll take your house, ignore any local environment concerns and possibly just demolish entire villages and generational livelihoods".

Everyone seems to have some "oh how great it is they just get things done" as though they haven't diligently turned up to complain about some development application of the local council.

Yeah, sunshine and rainbows I suppose provided you're thousands of miles away.
Sounds useful for some tests that I have to do this week for a bug at $work. And looks like `tc` works with Docker too, to avoid messing with my local wnv, e.g. https://medium.com/@kazushi/simulate-high-latency-network-us...
Excuse me? Cartoon Network is a cable channel, it doesn't have a broadcast license.
Cool! I'll have to try once more. That sounds a lot more reasonable than going straight to postgres.
Insinuation? It's a fact that China is not a democracy.
in Denmark, inflation is currently running at a 1.6% annualized rate, as of the most recent reading[0]. This is the full basket inflation rate, including volatile categories (food and energy). Core inflation is even lower, with the latest reading at 1.3% (annualized) in October 2024. Food inflation is, of course, volatile. It currently sits at a moderately elevated level of 3.9% (October 2024, annualized).

Food prices declined earlier this year for two consecutive months, though that will be a minor consolation after the significant food price inflation in 2022 and persisting, though at a slower pace, through 2023.

All of that to say, "let them eat cake" mentality is unlikely in a country where they have consistently ranked at the top of a world happiness index. Additionally, while I'm not well versed in Danish politics, I am under the impression that the Social Democrats have responded much better to the mass immigration that has been an ongoing issue for many parties throughout Europe. I think this is indicative of a party that adapts rather more quickly to the consequences of their previous policies and is less ideologically stubborn - at least on some issues.

Would we have had a single lab that became famous for so many things? No. Would we have got thousands of smaller labs that added up to more innovation? Maybe.
It's more a product of cheaper and easier content distribution. When TV is expensive to produce, there are only three channels, and it's heavily regulated, you target your content to be broadly appealing and inoffensive. The rise of cable TV, revocation of the fairness doctrine, rise of the internet, and fall of the USSR all led to more exposure to broader views. Like GP said, whether this is good or bad depends on your view.
How will it impact food supply ?
> What happens when people start making up their own characters that aren't in Unicode to put in their names?

They first have to fight the Unicode committee and maybe they actually have a point and the character is made up in a way that is acceptable in a society. Then they will fight their local authorities who run everything on 30 years old system. Only after they become your problem, at which point you fix your cursed regexp.

>an unvalidated "display name" that's only ever parroted back to the person who entered it?

You will do that wrong too. When you send me an email, I would expect my name to be in different form compared to what you display in the active user widget.

The point is, you need to know the exact context in which the name is used and also communicate it to me so I can tell you the right thing to display.
Eliminating a government regulation (EV tax credit) is the opposite of regulatory capture.
Japanese cameras became popular with pros during the Korean War precisely because they used high-quality materials and had great quality control. A good Leica was still better at the time, but you were much more likely to get a good Nikon.
"Novel" here simply means that the exact sequence of moves that is the solution cannot possibly be in the training set (mutatis mutandis). You can easily write a program that generates these kinds of puzzles at random, and feed them to the model.
Can confirm, got stabbed by a spammer on Skype yesterday.
Dare i ask... what is the thing you can do on linux that you cant do on mac that your... remoting into a linux pc. For gaming i sorta get it but even then most of the new and old games ive played work fine on mac recently, and for work tasks at least for what i've experienced most apps are on mac if their on linux.
Solid tool. But on Windows it has a tendency to freeze and remain unresponsive if you leave it open without using it for an extended period eg overnight.

It's a minor annoyance
That's too bad but I guess if people want to silo themselves in, they should be allowed. I just hope that big corporations don't eventually coerce everyone into this through economic force.

I can see a future where corporations control the entire economy. Startups or parallel economy would be impossible due to regulatory moats and monetary asymmetries and everyone would be forced to lock themselves into a filter bubble in order to get a job... To survive.

Imagine knowing what's happening and not having the power refuse... And by that point, the power would be granted fully artificially out of a money printer, distributed straight into the coffers of select big corporations on the basis of secret mutual agreements between each other. All under the banner of MMT? This is beyond immoral.

More specific to your point, it makes sense why the entities behind the censorship push might still want a single platform, but simply with better 'siloing' capability. It's likely that the same people who want censorship, also want mass surveillance. Mind-bending to think that there exist a conflict between these two dystopian aspects! They really want to have the cake and eat it too.
I wonder how many of those 20 million BlueSky users are squatters that are registering every popular brand name, in the hope it becomes a lot more valuable in a year

Is UI performance better in apps where user per-minute labor is expensive? How about apps in a time-limited multitasking workflow?

Bloomberg terminal and some point-of-sale systems were well regarded on interactive performance. What tooling was used to optimize their performance?

If we can use LLMs to rewind/recall activity, can we use continuous profiling (e.g. eBPF) to identify interactive hotspots in complex user workflows?

Alibaba Cloud brings chatty SaaS products out of China and into more markets
Nope. And so many of these traffic laws often neglect to take actual safety into account. I’ve certainly been one of those annoyed drivers behind large vehicles taking forever to pass. Ultimately it’s the driver of that heavy vehicle to determine what is safe or not and not the impatient asshole behind them. That being said, it’s often difficult from behind to differentiate between the safety conscious and the inconsiderate who just like to park on the left.

I probably tend to be in the top 10% of drivers regarding speed on any given highway. I’m usually the passer and rarely the passee. I stick to the right lane when traffic is light, but may cruise in the left when it requires me to weave in and out for no reason. But I keep an eye on my mirrors and make sure to get out of the way for the few who are faster than me. Sometimes even if that means I slow down a bit to get right. My goal when on the highway is to not make others put on their brakes or react because of me. My second goal is to not put myself into positions where I have to brake myself. That means good follow distances so minor changes in traffic speed doesn’t cause a chain reaction of tail lights that lead to traffic snakes.

Most of what I have seen that causes dangerous situations is when people act abnormally. If the cruising speed on a highway (regardless of posted speed limit) is 80mph and you’re cruising at 70mph in the left lane you are causing a higher risk of accidents regardless of whether you’re doing the speed limit or not. If the roads are covered in ice, you should absolutely be ticketed for driving the “speed limit” when most everyone else is crawling along. So much of traffic boils down to “we live in a society” and so much of what makes traffic miserable is the same folks who can never understand that concept.
I also read KSR's book. It was interesting at times. However, the research on the financial topics, including the central banks and "global financiers" was quite bad.

I don't recall the glaring errors right now, however, given this is an area where I (at least once upon a time) was an expert, it was quite bad to read this and realize there are likely other serious errors in topics with which I am not at all familiar.

While this is of course a work of fiction, getting verifiable facts wrong, intentionally or not, ruins it for me.
Yes, being able to manufacturer and deploy your satellite services at cost is an insurmountable competitive advantage. There is one other player in this space, Rocket Lab. They are 5-10 years behind SpaceX, but are the #2 launched rocket in the USA and 2/3rds of their revenue is from satellite manufacturing. I think something like 25-50% of the non-SpaceX satellites in-operation have a Rocket Lab logo somewhere on the craft. The next step in their vertical integration plan is to launch their own constellation and provide some sort of space-based service. Although it's several years away and pending the scale-up of their medium launch vehicle test flying next year.

Their CEO has come to the same conclusion as you. The major space companies of the future have to be vertically integrated if they want to compete. The founder has a pretty cool story. From New Zealand. Built a rocket bike and a rocket pack, but didn't go to college. Being a foreign national without traditional education meant he couldn't work in the space sector due ITAR. So he started Rocket Lab in 2006.

Their small lift vehicle (300kg) was the fastest vehicle from first orbit to 50 orbital launches, and tracking to be the fastest to hit 100 orbital launches. Their medium lift vehicle (13,000kg), if it makes orbit next year, will become the most capital efficient ($300m spent) MLV developed, and the fastest MLV to go from announcement to orbit (5ish years).

After Rocket Lab and SpaceX, the competition is pretty thin. Blue Origin is launching their HLV (40,000kg) New Glenn for the first time in early 2025 and there are a couple of startup and traditional defense contractor projects, but all unproven.

SpaceX is so insanely far ahead of everyone else. They will hit 100+ launches in 2024, Rocket Lab is at 15ish with their 300kg vehicle, and planning to scale their 13,000kg vehicle to 3 launches in 2026, 5 in 2027 and 7 in 2028. New Glenn will be on a similar ramp.
Like I said, we've heard "Russia's economy is collapsing" for 3 years straight now. I even believed it myself for the first year, but I have relatives actually living there - who aren't even pro-war - and the picture painted in the Western press has little to do with realities on the ground. Right now the economy is booming as far as most people are concerned. How sustainable it all is, is a good question, but given that the same people making the doom and gloom predictions long ago, I don't see why I should continue listening to them.

As far as Ukraine being able to deny Russian air superiority, that is evidence towards my point that Russia would similarly be able to deny air superiority to any European force. Westerners are way too used to fighting colonial wars against people whose best AA weapon is an old Stinger, but these things work very differently against a more or less modern power.

The lack of manpower is, again, for political reasons. Mobilization wouldn't be any more popular in Russia than it is in Ukraine. So they want to avoid it if they can by hiring mercs as replacement troops, whether from the heretofore neglected Russian province or from abroad like with NK forces. But make no mistake, Russia can do mobilization if it needs to, and they have more enforcement mechanisms for it compared to Ukraine, not to mention larger reserves. This is partly why the higher-ups are okay with such high losses, and it takes truly massive screw-ups for generals to get kicked out - the government doesn't see those losses as unsustainable.
I already own a car. An affordable EV is a thing I'll buy in like 15 more years when my already 20 year old Toyota finally dies maybe.

If I bought it sooner, then my car would just go into the second hand market and do the same thing.

"Affordable" isn't changing anything: I don't need another car, and I'm not going to prematurely crush mine into a cube.
You believe the FAA, FCC, OHSA, EPA, FDA, etc., will cease to regulate SpaceX, Tesla, Nuralink operations? That seems pretty outlandish.
You'd be surprised at how limited LLMs still are at choosing the best treatment course for a diagnosis.

First: which chatbot can correctly pick the labs, imaging and other methods of investigation without wasting tons of $ and going off the rails with rabbit holes?

Second: get a chatbot to understand the clinical impression and correlate it to the history, labs and imaging.

Then: get a chatbot to understand that despite X being a standard antibiotic regimen for the infection, given the person's age, lab findings, and severity of the disease, Y for Z many days is actually a better strategy for these specific instances.
Kubernetes is boring tech as well.

And the advantage of it is one way to manage resources, scaling, logging, observability, hardware etc.

All of which is stored in Git and so audited, reviewed, versioned, tested etc in exactly the same way.

Staying with Wireguard. The article, by the way, is about Wireguard, not an opinion piece comparing alternative technologies.
Also the other issue: the first thing the American company does is ensure it sells coffee-makers for $149 and not a penny less.

In fact depending on your tarriff regime, this can incentivize a bunch industries to actually raise prices if the new import cost is higher then they would currently sell at.

> BYD is only the 9th largest carmaker in China. SAIC, Changan, and Geeley are the top 3

> You don't need to have a "structured data with fields" to parse it.

You do if you want to have nice things like being able to format your output without having to worry about breaking the dumb tools down the pipe, which can't sort the numbers they don't see:

- 2.1K (this isn't the same as the second)
- 2.1K
- 2.1M

Also, why do I need to count columns like a cave man in 'sort -k 5' instead of doing the obvious "sort by size"?

A problem that would disappear with... structured data!

> China's strategy is innovation, science and productivity. We on the west seem to like consumption before everything else and IMHO we are doing it wrong.

What is this even supposed to mean? You can't have productivity without consumption - who are you producing things for? Well, consumers - duh.

China is the beneficiary of having relatively low marginal costs, but it's worth noting that's been changing and production has been moving out of China and into other cheaper regions - i.e. Vietnam.
Musk is at least a named individual, somewhat accountable for his decisions. Yes him having the ability to cut people off is worrying, but I'm less worried about him doing it than e.g. the Internet Watch Foundation, or whoever cut off Kiwi Farms (where we still don't really know who's actually responsible).
I think the parent poster has a good point.
Last year I was at a wedding for one of my best friends - his distant niece, who was ~17 during the pandemic, told me, she could not attend her own graduation ceremony. For nearly two years, she could not see her friends.

Before the pandemic, this would have been considered a disaster for the individual.
