Sure, dynamic updates are possible. Re language support, I'm only aware of PyScript for Python, and Blazor for C# already being fairly mature. But there are other language ports in progress.
I bet the reason for this is that bulk ad sales are generally more profitable than selling individual ads. Advertising companies prefer that advertisers do not become accustomed to purchasing ads on a one-off basis. Selling ads in bulk is much more lucrative for platforms like Google Ads.

It is simply easier and more profitable for these companies to sell a large volume of advertisements rather than just one ad at a time. Ultimately, there is little profit in creating a system where ad viewing is optional.

Advertisers also do not want this because a lost ad viewer could potentially become a lifelong customer. Essentially, they could lose a customer over a few cents saved or added revenue. Remember that we are the product, not the customer.
Everyone knows N_0 == N\{0} == the natural numbers without zero. This resolves the ambiguity and was my go-to for zero-denier professors in undergrad.

Why don't you count the number of cool people who don't think zero is a natural number, loser?

I use OVH (VPS’s specifically), which offers unlimited bandwidth. In my experience they’ve been both reliable and affordable which is a rarity. I run a few applications that require high amounts of bandwidth, so silly caps like the ones that Hetzner are imposing are a non-starter for me
Trademarked the idea?

I don't think that word means what you think it means...

I'm not OP, and I'm no lawyer, but I'm sure you're free to try this concept for yourself.

Three ways to protect IP

Trademark is for logos and names
Parents are for methods and inventions
Copyright is for works of art and writing

They might be able to trademark the phrase "continue and persist", but it's not likely. If they had they would have put a little TM or (r) next to it.

It's not sufficiently original to qualify for copyright protection.

And it's so far from being patentable I hope I don't have to explain why.
C and C++ are languages of an era. C++ will be unseated eventually but it will take another decade at the minimum for a new generation of programmers who have used the 'modern' languages from day one to overthrow the incumbents. Then another few decades to rewrite everything.
For a start, "landing a plane" is a solved problem since long before GPS came along. They don't need "help".

As others have said, this seems to be a contrived "problem" to be solving. VOR, ADF, DME/DME and ILS already exist and work without GNSS. There's also LORAN if we were to need a ground based equivalent to GNSS.

There is a difference between a well-established market with "value" that is established and something much more speculative like other type of assets.

If people there are OK with these taxes and don't vote them out it's their choice. My point is that it's a bad and wrong solution with bad consequences.

I caught a different meaning from this entire sentence. I think the author was alluding to the fact that even if you replace a technology with something "better", at the end it doesn't matter, because Most People will keep using Twitter, Most People will keep using QWERTY layout, count all of your acquaintances, I doubt any of them speak Esperanto.

Well at least the idea comes through, but I don't think it makes sense to argue whether Lua is actually better than JavaScript or not.

I've only ever been on OVH and was surprised to discover a few years ago that bandwidth is not only unlimited but also costly at most other hosting companies (including cloud ones).

It's just German bureaucracy. When I wanted to register domains with Hetzner few years back, they asked me to print multiple pages of forms and contract, fill out, sign and... fax it back.
> As seen above, this doesn't follow especially after the establishment of collective farming where everyone were considered workers.

Correct! Farmers owned the landed, the communists came and stole it from them - sorry "collectivized" it - and so made it worse for the farmers turned proletariat. So you understand that farmers hated communists.
The war and the culturing of drug resistant bacteria can be ended sooner if Ukraine is provided with enough material to apply sufficient pressure to Russia to bring them to the table.
I personally use 0TB per month across 6 CPX21 servers (I know I’m over-provisioned; that’s not the point).

Kinds of is the point tho, you're hogging resources you don't actually need (not talking about traffic here ..).

People probably spam-provisioned cheap CPX boxes to get cheap bandwidth.

Also, complaining about a "large 27.52% price increase" is kind of absurd when the absolute value of the increase is just under 2€.
I mean it looks like it might have sped it up but it already declined more than that from 2012. So whatever the general reason for the trend is worse.

Create interoperability with other languages, like what Swift is currently attempting to do, yes; but to completely rewrite an entire project that consists of millions of lines, I don't think so.
true, and it's a big harder to deal with if you use stock OS.
It’s not a technical thing.

It’s not bad.

It’s a misguided community thing.

Cgo is the correct choice for many domains (ui, gamedev, systems stuff) where you can’t use a network boundary as your “interacts with other languages”.

The language is opinionated; it’s not good at playing with others. It’s good at other things (network services, etc)… but you can and it’s not bad.

…it’s just hard, and people don’t like hard things.
Was thinking about this today in context of hiring.

We have these amazing LLMs that are continually improving. Yet if you say to them, here’s my business, now takeover the marketing department. You will end up with so much output that’s not localized that the value of the whole output is worth very little. Yet when you have a highly experienced localized marketing leader use the LLM to speed up work the whole output is very valuable.

I don’t think this problem is solved by solely defining preferences better. It’s clear a human adaptation layer beyond solely RLHF is needed for at least the short term.
I hope this experience teaches you to be more polite and open-minded even when you think you know what you are talking about.
TRACTOR seems like a helluva Hail Mary. The C and C++ abstract machine had so many sharp pointy bits that need to be reified exactly that I find it hard to translate to Rust.

There is still a wealth tax in Germany which is, in fact, enshrined in its constitution. However, the tax has not been collected since 1997 due to legal issues regarding its calculation. Back then, the constitutional court decided that wealth in the form of properties would have to be taxed more. However, instead of adjusting the calculation, politics instead decided to suspend collecting the tax. Ever since, there have been multiple political initiatives aimed at restarting the collection of the tax, none successful so far, despite a large majority of Germans (70+%) being in favor of collecting the wealth tax.

If people would get away from the Norman Rockwell presentation of a whole bird, and spatchcock the thing instead, it will take less time to cook and cook more evenly. Salting it and leaving it uncovered in the fridge for a day or two helps to retain moisture in the meat. People need to use a good meat thermometer, and understand that killing pathogens is a combination of temperature and time[1]. The recommended 165 degrees basically means if pathogens are exposed to that temperature, they're instantly dead. However, if held at a lower temperature for a certain amount of time, they will also be killed.

I wonder if we will be able to completely replace these cables with satellites one day.
Certainly. That's where honest introspection and humility must be utilized to develop a more positively moral moral compass, and then use it to choose our desires very carefully. Self-evolution can go in any direction we choose with our free will, and both paths -- the light of compassion and the darkness of selfishness -- contain momentous decisions that will change our journey's octave in the direction in which we travel. The third possibility is to instead defer such learning and choose to not commit to either positive or negative. Such people remain 'confused by confusion', being sometimes virtuous, sometimes vice-eous, as per how the wind blows upon their life.

Those momentous decisions will change their perspective from there out, but "there's still time to change the road you're on"; it just becomes less likely as we traverse either tail of the bell curve of human spiritual potential. As such, the wicked tend to become more so, more confident in their path through the resulting delusions borne of their having chosen selfishness over selflessness, lies over truth, hatred over love, etc. Like the infospace of our computer networks, there are also malicious actors acting upon our psyche to deflect us from our happiness, right within our headspace and heartspace.

Converse to the dark path, the person who enters the door that leads to the Path of Love experiences such a joy in the transformations that commence that it is unlikely for that person to reenter the ignorance of their previous life from before crossing that threshold. It is not that our intrinsic negative gravity via human weakness suddenly ceases resisting our efforts to improve; it a slog, for sure, filled with moments that build humility, which is as necessary a tool on the spiritual path as it is on the journey to becoming one of Dunning-Kruger's true experts.

Along the way, as well, we regularly gain karma from the relentless slings and arrows of the committed narcisists, whose "master" demands not just their continued ignorance of the benefits and possibility of Love, but to actively deny or even fight it, lest they be swayed by our loving kindness, wisdom, inner peace, and happiness. That is why the "woke" are such a threat to the evil-minded buffoons of the world.

I went to see what the problems were for myself. While I wouldn't run my own sure that way, I was expecting something more serious to justify a migration. I think having the primary wiki within the project is a good idea generally. It does feel like the problems below are just minor annoyances though.

Why is there a new wiki? What is with nixos.wiki?

The old wiki at nixos.wiki has several problems:

Many components (mediawiki, php, icu) are severely outdated.

PHP 7.3.33 (EOL 2021-12)

It's pretty obvious what the concern is, no? Hetzner's process seems to be blocking real people with no malicious intent (myself included) from creating accounts, even when we try to provide proof. Obviously this means we end up using a different provider instead. Though in my experience attempting to do business in Germany, this kind of forbidden-by-default perspective is quite common there, so they probably don't see it as a concern, I guess.

NASA found that some bacteria can metabolize isopropyl alcohol [1]

Alcohol is so expensive as a choice with broad political support in Norway. Yes, Norwegians like to whine about it, and go to Sweden or Denmark to avoid it, yet Norwegians also keep voting for the parties (almost all) that agree with keeping alcohol taxes high.

Rent is high in large parts because average incomes are high. This is one of the effects of a relatively flat income structure. As someone earning far above average, I'm better off in the UK, while someone on a job below the top ~10% or so would probably have a higher standard of living in Norway.

Not having things run 24/7 is annoying, but a factor of being a country with one of the lowest population densities in the world.

> They were against the socialist government trying to rip them off with a completely unfair taxation.

Nobody forced them to start their businesses. The wealth tax is not new, and has remained in place through both left- and right-wing governments, thought with some swings back and forth in rates.

You can actually pre-pay them. Under the transactions section in your account, it says:

This really only presents the hypothesis that artificial intelligence (AI) will significantly impact the final stages of various processes, often referred to as the "last mile." However, she does not provide substantial evidence or detailed arguments to support this claim. The article lacks specific examples, data, or references that would substantiate her position, making it more of an opinion piece than a thoroughly backed analysis.

Don't get me to be wrong I would love this to be true.
I don’t support these kinds of taxes but I think that is also a little hyperbolic.

Poll taxes, and even flat taxes can also be seen as unjust taxes on ‘money you do not have’ when you subtract the cost of life from someone’s income.

This one is novel in the modern era because it only substantially negatively affects capital owners, rather than wage / fixed income earners.

As both capital owner and wage worker though, I just see it as yet another potential headwind… and yes, there are class dynamics at play that go beyond the economy and up into political power and the state.

How will any oil-dependent finances deal with the end of oil? By saving and diversifying. Norway's got the savings down good, and in a few decades they should start thinking about diversifying. Until then, they're in a great position because they didn't spend all their oil money on weapons and instead put it into savings for their people.

Anyone that gets taxed more than they have money to pay is inclined to dislike that taxation. I completely agree with the wish to not cannibalize hour company before it’s even properly profitable.

They’re ‘unrealized gains’ for a reason.

That said, I also feel there is a way to do this tax properly.
Oh, of course. Length requirements are important, for the reasons I explained up-thread. However, if teachers accept any old thing ("padding") to reach the count, then that metric is arbitrary, which (justifiably!) makes students cynical.

If a student can say all that they want to say in six sentences then they need to learn more about the topic, and / or think through their opinions more deeply. Teachers who do not take that next step are bad teachers, because they are neither modeling nor encouraging critical thinking.

In some places the majority of teachers are themselves incapable of critical thinking, because those who are leave the profession (or the locale) for the reasons in my comment above.

[Edit to add]: Please note that I say bad teachers, not bad people. Same goes for students / citizens, as well. The ability to think critically is not a determinate of moral worth, and in some ways and some cases might be anti-correlated.

> as a consumer, it's not easy to differentiate between quality markup and greedy markup

This is so true and insightful. Even plenty of so-called “luxury goods” are trash. And outside of luxury, it seems like most markets are dominated by roughly 90-99.9% products that are all identically garbage, just ranging from 1%, 2% up to 800% profit margins. So the person buying the high-end brand and the one buying from Aliexpress both have the same quality components (trash tier) and sometimes the same PCBs and designs. If you want a good quality refrigerator, you can buy a Viking or something for $9,000, or spend any amount of your choice from $800-5000 for something that will die in 2 years and be outside of warranty. It makes my blood boil, especially in areas like appliances, where the amount of waste, by tonnage, is super offensive.
I agree with and appreciate your comment, but I do think there is some validity in the more broad usage of "socialism" that has come to be. To steel man the other sides argument, if you have to pay taxes on an asset, be that the means of production or real estate, or else the government will come and take it away from you, it feels more like renting than owning, and the only thing you "own" is the right to pay rent on the governments asset.

I do definitely think that just labeling every government overreach that one dislikes as "socialism" is not the most useful.
Having started companies in Norway without being rich at the time, it's not generally remotely a problem. The wealth tax is low, and it only kicks in over a threshold. If you can't afford to have your company pay you enough or lend you money to cover the wealth tax at the point where it starts to become a challenge, then your company is likely a shitty investment.

There can be extreme corner cases where it's a challenge, but it's extremely rare.
IMO choice of language is a design decision. Weighing the pros and cons of a particular language without specifying the use case and project requirements seems ass backwards to me.

To illustrate, consider if we rewrite the title: “Goodbye, Phillips head screwdrivers, I wish you success, but I’m back to flat heads”. Seems silly, doesn’t it?

To be fair though, I imagine this article is written as a reaction to Rust proponents making similar arguments.
