> V8s have been replaced by turbo engines which respond much more dramatically to modifications than any N/A V8.

While technically true, it’s not the same. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve owned (and enjoyed!) both, but a highly strung big-boost inline 4 is not the same as a big V8. The instant throttle response, torque for days wherever you are in the rev range, the noise, nothing else can match it.

If you want concrete evidence of this, look at the sheer variety of cars that become more fun with a big V8. Yeah, a corvette is an awesome sports car, but the same engine turns grandpa’s Buick into a genuine enthusiast car (Impala SS). You can’t put a 300HP tiny inline 4 in a comfy sedan and expect it to become fun, it just becomes a bit faster.

And anyone who’s ever modified American V8s knows how easy they are to get power out of. Yeah, you can turn up the boost on a 2.0T for a few hundred bucks, but for double that you can take a 260HP 5.7L from the 90s (that costs $500 to buy a whole ‘nother engine, by the way, if you blow it up), slap on some heads and a cam, and make 400HP and 400lb-ft of torque - or more if you don’t mind sacrificing a bit of streetability. Or spend like $5k on heads, cam, an intake port job, and some eBay turbos & manifold and make 550/500 for a few years until you want more, turn up the boost, and blow it up. Or go even cheaper and spend a grand on eBay turbos & manifolds and do nothing to the engine, and still make like 400HP.

Anyways, long/rambling way of saying turbo 4s don’t replace V8s. Pretty much the only similarity in their behaviour is that they both ICEs. People that love V8s won’t be swayed by “but the turbo 4s make just as much power!” because that’s not what they care about.

Aren't Rust compiles slow as well? I'm suggesting they take a different approach. Are these systems really needed seeing as other languages do without?
Just added it to the site!
Here's an implementation in C# that more faithfully matches what you have to do in Go:

var cnt = int.Parse(args[0]);
var evt = new CountdownEvent(cnt);
for (var i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
async Task Execute() {
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
evt.Signal();
}
_ = Execute();
}
evt.Wait();

It ends up consuming roughly 264.5 MB on ARM64 macOS 15.1.1 (compiled with NativeAOT).
Around here everyone puts in work, cliqued up or not. And we’re not talking about helping us with our computer skills (have you used Google or Facebook recently?).

It's reasonable for OVH to prevent that, and it's also reasonable for OVH to explicitly and clearly define the limits up front.
Actually, I think this benchmark did the right thing, that I wish more benchmarks would do. I'm much less interested in what the differences between compilers
are than in what the actual output will be if I ask a professional Go or Node.js dev to solve the same task. (TBF, it would've been better if the task benchmarked was something useful, eg. handling an HTTP request.)

Go heavily encourages a certain kind of programming; JavaScript heavily encourages a different kind; and the article does a great job at showing what the consequences are.
Python venvs are not intended to provide isolation from the host system and therefore do not provide any isolation from the host system.

So yes, the app can certainly harm the OS, and the venv would not provide any protection against this.
For personal projects, I use C because it is fun and brings me joy without getting in my way, while Rust brings me pain, and (when i must seek help) derision from the community. Here, I choose fun and joy.

Not sure how mental health support is going to help here. It is a degrading, inhumane idea - a lot worse than say, suggesting "solve" poverty by offering mental health support to the poor.

Just think of it: there is in theory, enough products/money to be enough for everyone, it's just some skills misalignment/unwillingness to move to where the jobs are/and yes some small mental issues that prevent eradication of poverty at least in developed countries. There are no objective obstacles to it: society won't break down, capitalism won't end or even suffer, and no finite resources will be exhausted if no one was poor tomorrow. So while in practice, mental health support to the poor can't work and is not enough, it could in theory work.

But incels, are not a mental health problem. They are an objective, real-world problem that just CANNOT be solved. Economy and society has evolved to the point that there is a considerable, and growing, share of men who are a "worse than nothing" option for every available woman, so those women stay single and/or keep dating non-exclusively in full knowledge of what they are doing.

How do we solve it? We don't. Just accept that they will always be frustrated and become a political and social menace, contributing to extremism, violence, and discontent.

His opinion is really bad. Listen to his first minutes and compare it with my "couch" take vs his "well informed" opinion.

Russia doesn't have unlimited resources and they are not grinding the meat assault to let the west fear.

Russia needs to pay a lot to get it going, their resources are getting depleted, things that were already known ( eg. Demographics).

Why they are so willing to conquer Ukraine is simply because they went to add x million people to attack and fix that to prepare for a next meat grinding war.

Russia hasn't got unlimited resources. They need external help.

They are not going all in. They don't even enforce military conscription in the well known areas.

They are just down the rabbit hole now and we just need to support Ukraine more.

now listened to it completely

He's even wrong about why the west is funding Ukraine. Most of them want Ukraine to win, definitely neighbors of Ukraine that know Russia, or look at how the Netherlands is supporting Ukraine.

The rest, thinks at least there should be enough funds to Ukraine to deplete Russia from their capable men or their tanks ( which is actually happening) and helps NATO. I actually hope that now NATO has expanded to what was expected, that military aid increases.

The ones that want to stop funding Ukraine are the dumbest people in politics and believe in fairy tales that Russia claims or are literally Russian funded.

I agree with the denotative message of your post (that we should let the energy market do its optimization unimpeded), but I'm guessing we disagree connotatively; most "green" solutions (especially wind, to a lesser degree solar) are only viable at all because of extreme distortions in the energy market induced by subsidies. Tariffs would of course also be distortionary, but it would be difficult for them to compete with the gross distortions that already exist! In the (loosely remembered) words of a friend who designs wind turbine blades and control systems: "we would build these things to be a lot more reliable if we weren't just trying to maximize subsidy revenue". I'm more immediately worried about these demand-side distortions than the hypothetical supply-side ones.

>And if you don’t want a compatibility relationship between package versions, then it’s an easy sell.

Everyone has to think about compatibility, generally speaking, unless there is exactly one consumer of the product that is always running trunk and all their data is continuously migrated to the newest version. If you commit to using TrunkVer, then that's the only use case you can ever easily support, until you decide to switch to something like SemVer.

>You’ve clearly not worked anywhere where this would be an easy sell. And that’s fine - it’s a specific kind of system that benefits from this, but don’t waste your time writing thousands of words when a simple “I don’t get why this is useful” would be enough.

Whether or not it's an easy sell for a certain kind of user is a separate issue from the fact that it is unsuitable for most projects and libraries. It's also a separate issue from the fact that this version scheme does not deliver on its prominent claims of "compatibility".

I have probably worked at a company or two where TrunkVer could fly. But I would not advocate for it because I consider it a bad idea.
No, he's not, he's a douche born into criminal wealth that organisations he ends up in needs to protect themselves from.

Today he's also a fascist grifter who's entered into politics. For some reason usians don't revolt when their political system elects rapists, genocidaires and people on the far right, so I'm hoping it'll turn into something like a kingdom that they find it in themselves to overturn.
Runtime safety still comes with a good amount of complication source-wise, having to spam RefCell/Arc everywhere, and whatever derefs/.get()s they necessitate, and probably a different approach to passing references. Refactoring either that or unsafe away after being done with prototyping isn't trivial, if even possible without entirely rethinking the approach.
It's going to be interesting to see how one can use cryptography to do this privately. I wonder if the cost and complexity of such a thing would result in big companies simply requiring some kind of "take a picture of your ID" style verification.

Estonia's ID card https://www.id.ee/en/ could certainly be a model; still not sure how to do age verification. My best guess would be some sort of cryptographic signing that refuses to sign if you are below a certain age.
People are far more worried about the government knowing that you're using a social media site, than they are about the social media site knowing who you are.

I don't see a way this could be implemented where the govt doesn't know what site is requesting the verification. I'm assuming it'll be an openid type flow where the social media sites will have to register client IDs with the govt myID, in which case the govt will directly be able to tie a person to what social media they use. It won't tell them what account it links to on the social media side, but depending on what data is returned, they can easily just ask the social media company for this info later on.
This is a good explanation, I've had to explain this topic a few times as well, it seems like it's one of those topics that is very missunderstood.

To just expand a bit, I believe some of the confusion around printing of money comes from the way some economics reports are built. As a micro example, Assume a 10% required reserve, If Alice deposits $100 and the bank lends $90 to Bob. Alice ($100 deposits) + Bob ($90 cash) think they have $190 in total.

This is mainly useful for economists to understand, study, and report on. However, when the reports get distributed to the public, it looks like the banks printed their own money, as we now see $190 on the report when there is only $100 of cash in our example system.

Whether the system should work on a fractional reserve is it's own debate, but we need to know what it is to debate the merits and risks of the system.

A specialty in austria (in the middle of the map) is pumped-storage hydroelectricity. Since there are so many mountains and valleys, lakes are used as giant batteries. Water can be pumped up in times of excessive supply and released to produce energy when there's higher demand.

This keeps the power lines stable and compensates for factors like lack of wind in wind power stations, startup/shutdown times of thermal power plants, differing consumption patterns because of colder weather etc.
That, I can agree with.

Denmark used to tax cars based on weight as it was considered that weight was equal to wear and tear on the roads. Although that logic should probably have been weight * distance driven.

Now there’s a fun tax to implement!

You could in theory create your own event loop and then get the exact same behaviour as Promises in Go, but you probably shouldn't. Goroutines are the way to do this in Go, and it wouldn't be useful to benchmark code that would never be written in real life.
I believe it’s worth reading the report and findings. The way I read it, the mental health support does not aim primarily at some magical „healing“ of their situation (i.e. turning them into non-Incels somehow). Quoting from the report summary:

> Mental Health: Incels typically display extremely poor mental health, with high incidences of depression and suicidal thoughts (1 in 5 incels contemplated suicide every day for the past two weeks).
3rd party replacements should be allowed but the firmware should allow me to check if any third party replacements have been made. I’d like to know when buying second hand phone if it has genuine parts. Third part replacements are usually of much worse quality (I tried that many times e.g. with third party toners for HP and every single time they turned out to be a waste of money).

I have nothing to back this up other than I'd like to see a comparison between EV's and other luxo models for tire wear. Because the tire design matters a lot when it comes to wear. I'm a bit suspicious about the weight being the primary driver since I have a van that weighs 6000lbs and it doesn't burn through tires.

I can see two things. One maybe EV tires are spec'd to be more sporty. Or possible tires aren't optimized for the extra weight.

Pointed comment: No one but no one cares about higher weight trucks and suv's at all when it comes to tire wear. Only EV's get singled out.
No offense but this sounds like a nightmare. It also sounds like you did a fantastic job achieving accuracy despite the complexity of the system. That’s something to be proud of.
The Outback is also bigger and has more cargo capacity than the BMW 3 but likewise only weighs 100 pounds more.

The weight of electric cars is more proportional to their range than their size, and they also shed the ICE powertrain and exhaust/emissions systems, so the breakeven range where they weigh the same as an equivalent ICE car is a range of something like 200-300 miles. Which is why the BMW 3 and Tesla 3 have a similar weight.

The difference is that as new battery chemistries improve energy density, the weight of the electric car can go down. Whereas ICE powertrains are extremely mature with not a lot of low-hanging fruit, so significant improvements in power to weight ratio are less likely to be forthcoming.

In 2024, Chang's company, Momofuku, drew criticism after sending cease and desist notices over the use of their trademark "chili crunch."[65] In a statement to the Los Angeles Times, Momofuku argued that the trademark was not intended to stifle any competition surrounding the sauces, stating that "When we created our product, we wanted a name we could own and intentionally picked 'Chili Crunch' to further differentiate it from the broader chili crisp category."[66]

On April 12, 2024, Chang issued a public apology regarding the issue on his podcast, The Dave Chang Show, stating that Momofuku had not intended to upset with their legal actions, and noted that Momofuku would no longer attempt to enforce the trademark.

I've often wondered about this in the shower. Why debits and credits, when we can just make income negative and let everything sum to 0? Then you can track the balance for each account in a single field in the database.

And the answer is that "0" first entered Europe around the time they invented double-entry bookkeeping there. Negative numbers reached Europe centuries after that.

I showed the internals of a number-line-based accounting systems to an accountant once, and he was so confused by the negative incomes.
