Depends, did the disappointed crowd get a public airing in multiple different independent court-systems, losing because their "bombshell evidence" of election-fraud turn out to be hearsay or stuff like "some guy saw a thingy and magically knew it was a thumb-drive of fake-votes even though every other person there testified it was a packet of mints"?
> I just haven't consistently found books I like.

I can relate. A lot of people, myself included, seem to be having this problem. The past 20 years of publishing has been weird.

Thanks for your response. I enjoy the same kind of sci-fi that you do, so I've got myself a copy of A Memory Called Empire. :-) Thanks again.
What Is Software Anyways? Where Does It Exist?

Whilst I agree that former good engineers should be the leaders, the pace of technology is such that such leaders should perhaps do 10% work with current tools and methodologies.

I have worked for former engineer bosses who were so out of touch with the technology that they bowed to the loudest senior tech. When that tech left in a huff the new most senior tech chose a completely, incompatible direction and the boss let him get away with it. Of course, I've seen worse, when non-technical bosses bought salesperson's outlandish promises.
Hello! Small world. :)

For drivers, it's already happening, especially for graphics but not limited to that. 6.13 has some very important changes. A lot of Linux is drivers so that's already a reason to be bullish.

Answering for QEMU instead: it depends on the community being willing to share the burden of writing the FFI code. Despite Rust being low level, there is still a substantial amount of work to do. Replies to the roadmap pointed out tracepoints as an area where I know nothing and therefore I would like someone else to do the work (I am working mostly on the object and threading models, which is also where a lot of the impedance mismatch between Rust and C lies).
I have so many great memories of my software just running in Heroku, unfortunately it was so easy to switch inbetween machines, that they could never lower their prices and thus it is just not competitive anymore. It costs way too much for a small website.
I am sure Intel has enough cash to hire some good talent (like just offer talented people next-level salary at $FAANG), the problem is deeper in the hiring pipeline -- convincing people of the budget and actually scouting and retaining good people

The complaint in the linked post is from October 20, 2024...the victim was probably running 18.1 too.
I assume they mean:

* Python, Ruby, C#, Java, Go-style languages?

I imagine most developers operate in neither ML languages nor Lisp-style languages.

The most advanced "FP" trick that I imagine most developers use is Fluent-style programming with a whole bunch of their language's equivalent of:

variable
.map do ... end
.map do ... end
.flatten

Addendum: or maybe Linq in C#
Addendum 2:

And even the fluent-style trick in those languages tends to follow a similar pattern. Using Kotlin and Ruby as examples, since those are my (edit: main) languages,

variable
.map do |i| something_with(i) end
.map { |i| something_else(i) }
.flatten

shows familiar tricks. The dot operator implies that the thing previous to it has an action being done; and curly braces or the "do" operation both imply a block of some sort, and so a quick glance is easy to follow.

In Kotlin, this gets a little bit more confusing (yes, really) because it's common to see:

variable
.map { somethingWith(it) }
.map { somethingElse(it) }
.flatten()

And now there's this magic "it" variable, but that's easy enough to guess from, especially with syntax highlighting.

Anything more advanced than that and the cognitive load for these language starts to rise for people that aren't deep in them.

When you're starting working with a new language, that does increase difficulty and may even be so much of a barrier that developers may not want to hop over.
I recall reading about how our universe could be a "bubble" jostling with other universes in a metaverse. Perhaps the blackhole that is being postulated exists in 4 or maybe more dimensions.

> Its basically impossible to finance a meaningful try at colonizing mars without national resources

That's a separate point: Citizens don't really get a say in how national resources are deployed, though the theatre of elections certainly makes them think they do (Recall that dude at Davos who said, "There are 150 people who run the world, all of them are men, and none of them are politicians"?).

The point is: you and I, unless we own private aerospace companies, don't get a say and don't matter in the question of "why Mars".

We'll certainly be allowed and encouraged to "make your voices heard" and many, including politicians and "representatives", will protest about the trillions of "taxpayer dollars that could be put to a better use". But the people who are doing the innovation and taking the most risk with their own capital will decide.

In my experience the Japanese don’t refer to this as a change in pitch, but as you say, they consider it an emphasis.

The Japanese Wikipedia page for pitch accents simply call it “Accent for Japanese dialects“.

That is to say, I don’t think this is pitch as in musical pitch perfect.
I love most entries in the Lisp family.

I find Python to be quite readable as well.

Hi jamesjyu,

Just an FYI: Your site won't work on either Firefox or Chrome on my Linux machine...
My guess is that they’re trying to do it temporarily to boost sales for the WC bundle they’re in as a bonus perk. Blizzard, however, lost the assumption of goodwill by their customers years ago and resultantly, this will not be taken well.
Keep reading to the end:

"Moreover, even without invoking nonsingular models,
it’s not clear that rotating or charged BHs form an event
horizon at all when evaporation is taken into account."

Even this paper using modern (2024-era) numerical methods struggles to model the complexities of physically realistic black holes, and ends with a "... more research needed" at the end.

That was 37 years ago! We may have figured out one or two things about black holes since then.
Boi are they gonna wake up in a cyber apocalypse.

Why do people that don't know shit about technological topics have the power of legislation to write laws about science?

Why can a court decide/confirm something like that without any technological experts involved?
Why are you bringing up someone from the Reinassance when I explicitely said that the later Church got way worse than in the middle ages?
Do not social media cause the Rohingya genocide?
Yes, I was imagining something like this for the "too new" alternative.

In 2005 you did already have safer, capable, mature systems programming languages available, eg Ocaml, but for cultural reasons they were not often used in SV. And people were less educated about building secure software (goes double for enterprise security products).
That's called a little blue bubble.
Would widen scenarios of supported use cases dramatically while provided remote jobs for operators, similar to the food delivery robots we have in Los Angeles.
Nice to read. I didn't guess that the article would be so fun to read and insightful. I wouldn't have even read it if it wasn't ranked 1 in hackernews.
Well, I remember the "Cease and desist" to FreeCraft project in 2003 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratagus
I absolutely adore Becky Chambers (and Murderbot, incidentally), but I also love low stakes sci-fi.

I want more stories about people just... living unremarkable lives in remarkable places. Like, I don't need to read about Batman, but reading about the guy who runs the bodega in Gotham City? Yum yum yum, that's absolutely food for me.

I describe Chambers to others as "cozy" sci-fi.

That said, I think her different works hit differently. The Monk and Robot series is a really poignant pair of novellas about what it means to be human in a solarpunk world.

The Wayfarer series (Long Way to a Small Angry Planet) is slice of life stories of people caught in awkward situations around space. It's like, "What are people on the fringes doing in Star Trek -- not Picard types, but like, construction crews or black market dealers or space communists or people who get stuck at a motel because the highway shuts down. What if Firefly was a little less high energy.

I disagree with your assessments a little, but not enough to make a fuss. I think it's absolutely fair to say, "This wasn't to my taste".

That said, I'm also queer, poly, and use neopronouns, so I think I may be primed for science fiction that takes the transhumanism language and explores those topics in ways that doesn't treat those topics are scandalous or shocking.
Some lefties have some tricks for that, have you looked into them? I'm no expert on the topic, just know there is some tricks to learn :-)
If you like Python and Lisps, then I'm surprised you don't like F#. It is much more concise than Python, even for pure OOP programming.
Yes, depends on where you draw the line.

XMonad is a bit bigger: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad
While I am sure the foot soldier quality is important, we ought to put the burden on leadership a bit more. I am not sure AMD had a better talent pool (I don't work in the industry so I don't know!) ten years ago. Culture is predominantly shaped by those already in power -- it sounds like they need a change in culture.
seems more like a survey paper combining existing methods. But nice to read up.
Perhaps, Renaissance has been doing this all along. Just that they had data and compute in times (80s and 90s) when most have not heard of these things.

In the end, one needs a small edge and thousands of low correlated trades to take advantage of LLN.

I wonder how loudness factors into that. Maybe ideas which make their "host" express them loudly have a higher chance of "infecting" others?
The Ocaml library added a Int module with a function to_string (so Int.to_string) and a generic printer ages ago. There is also a (+) operator for Float in the float module which you can open in any scope if you so wish.

Ocaml obviously supports polymorphism and an extremely expressive type system. The fact that operators are not polymorphic is purely a choice (and a good one).

Good summary of airport gate management/leadership books.

I question the need for a "leadership" caste in the first place. Once an organization creates such a caste it will fill up with professional "leaders" who have never had to produce anything more complicated than a meeting agenda.

A useful leader understands the business and technical challenges faced by the people they lead, can work to remove obstacles, resolve conflicts, set priorities, and when necessary show how to do the work. A leader unable, or unwilling, to get their hands dirty will not deserve the respect of the people they lead, a leader in title only, a parasite on the organization rather than someone adding value.
As the owner of a bakery/cafe - thankfully in a country where tipping isn't normal - changing prices to cover costs isn't a simple thing to do, unfortunately. Customers are extremely sensitive to price changes, and expect certain price points. We have 7% inflation, and our suppliers have no problem raising their prices to reflect that. But we can't match them easily. 50k and 100k VND are prices that customers orient around here. In the US the equivalent might be $10 and $20, where one is cheap for a meal, the other is expensive.

Notice that those are just round numbers rather than specific values. What happens when inflation means that $10 is no longer sustainable for a meal? You can either increase the price and weather all of your regulars complaining, and new customers viewing you as an expensive location. Or, you can cut costs.

The same applies if you have a sudden new expense. Say, taxes go up. Or you decide to stop requesting tips and start paying staff a living wage (something I'm strongly in favor of). Then you'll need to increase all prices by 30%. Do you think your customers will be happy? No way! And even those customers who do support and agree with you, subconsciously they'll still be comparing you to other places that haven't done this and your place will be comparatively expensive and they'll come less often. Yes, even if they end up paying less after factoring in tips. Customers (in general) are not rational that way.

Then the only option is legislation so that everywhere changes at once. And good luck with that!

It would be cool to see Microsoft finally take action with the release of this.
I agree. I have limited experience with FPs, and I can get a hang of what is happening in OCaml examples relatively easily, but Haskell examples feel more like something akin to Forth - if I really needed, I could parse it with my brain, but cryptic one liners like that feel more like "puzzles" than an actual useful program.
This might solve the problem - gotta stand up to scrutiny first which takes some time

This is incredibly exciting! The main method available for PrEP, in the United States, at least, is a daily pill. I think (I don't know) there is a monthly shot, too.

Daily pills take a lot of time investment; monthly shots are better; but once every 6 months is awesome! Especially in circumstances where it might be difficult to guarantee a daily pill or even a monthly shot.
