This is what they did in my county. If you build a house as the actual owner (not as an LLC or for rent or sale) and promise not to sell within 1 year there are no design, code, inspection or planning requirements.

Lots of people taken advantage of this here. It is a pressure release valve available to those who can't afford commercial construction or boomers wanting 5x the real value they paid for their home. You can build whatever you can afford without oversight so long as it's only for your family. Most people end up just dragging in budget prefab, but you get the odd earth bag house, shipping container, one man shop carpenter, or just rich people with weird design ideas not allowed elsewhere.

A higher rendering resolution doesn't require higher resolution textures, and a higher source resolution for textures is what would require more storage and more RAM. (I think a higher rendering resolution does require more video RAM though.)

Of course after some point a higher rendering resolution starts giving diminishing returns if the resolution for the source material isn't also increased.
Good luck. Hope your sight will hold until they discover a cure.
The scope should be unique, yes. In your example value should be visible.

Your are right about the word double braces, but I can't think of an alternate syntax other than just removing the braces around the while. But in that case it may seem odd to have a keyword that can only be used inside a specific block...wich is basically a macro for a if(.)break;

You might be getting a bit too far ahead of where the industry is at with some of those wishlist items. NIST's requirements are things that are best practices that everyone agrees with, like:

* data stored/transmitted is secured by some kind of means

* the device supports software updates

* the device requires users to authenticate

* the device has documentation

* you can report security vulnerabilities to the developer

And even these are things that many devices fail to do, today. We gotta get the basics fixed first.

But for now, you can presume the Netflix button on your TV remote can't be configured to point to an alternative API if Netflix goes away. :)
What this analogy says is that people don't want other people living at high density near them. This is expected, since those other people are going to be poor and often dark skinned. Needless to say "other people are pollution, yuck" is not a good argument for zoning.

> Egont sounds a bit like SQL, no? A social way to share data and work with it ... a shared RDBMS where everyone has a user account and can create tables/share them with other users, built in security, etc. Splat a GUI on top and you have something similar.

Yes, SQL or a global spreadsheet. I would say that it is like SQL plus a DAG or, we can imagine an aggregation of SQLs. The interesting thing is that parts of the global system are only recalculated if there is a change, like in a spreadsheet.

> a shared RDBMS where everyone has a user account and can create tables/share them with other users, built in security, etc. Splat a GUI on top and you have something similar.

We need a little bit more but not much more: security by namespaces and/or rows so the same database is shared but you can restrict who change what: your "rows" are yours. I think something like OrbitDB but with namespaces will be cool.

> Modern web frameworks are getting pretty declarative.

Yes but my proposal was at a higher level. I don't want to know what a cookie is when I just want to create a website. I am not saying that you can create complex components with this idea but you can create common use cases.
yeah i think the internet is helping speculators to increase prices. I think they manipulate prices by using their market power to increase prices by asking high price for example online for 1/3 of their houses so price inflates.

in my opinion is the same with every price augmentation in the last 20 years. The Internet helped make fake offers that drove price high.

snd yes blablabla the invisible hand of the market…

the invisible hand of the markt is if all speculators work for the same goal on a market with scarcity they dont compete. See prices of Art. its all fake
Honestly that site feels like they have a database of midis tagged by genre and pick them out randomly. It’s totally different from their demo song.

I guess I’m hoping for something better. It’s also closed source, the web ui doesn’t have editing functionality, and the output is pretty disjointed. Maybe if I messed around with it enough the result would be decent.
>Many years ago I put a system using several Z80s and a PDP-11

many years ago I wired up my own design for an 8080 system, but i was a self taught beginner and not very good at stuff like a capacitive RC debounce circuit so I couldn't get my single-step-the-CPU button to work.

I was reading the spec sheet for the processor and I realized I could kluge it with signals. There was something like a "memory wait" pin, and another one called something like "halt", but one fired on the leading edge of the clock, and the other on the trailing edge, so I was able to use a SPDT push button and a flip flop to single step halt/memory wait on the first bounce, and then restart only on the first bounce when the button was released.

Wow, they look great, the upscaling seems to have gone really well!
Sure. My thinking is this is a big opportunity.
> When I want to ask a question I need to bend backwards in order for the "community" not to downvote and tell me that I need X when I ask Y.

Worse, even if the "community" is right that you do really need X and so all the answers tell you how to do X, there will later be other people who really do need to do Y who are going to find your question.
That seems more like a programmer expectations issue than something fundamental. Essentially, you have "do (call some function that returns a chunk of state) while (predicate that evaluates the state) ..."

Hard to express without primitives to indicate that, maybe.

True. And even C has one. I guess you could write "spaghetti code" in Pascal if you really wanted to.

For semi-dynamic language, Julia definitely took the approach of being a dynamic language that can be (and is) JITed to excellent machine code. I personally have some larger projects that do a lot of staged programming and even runtime compilation of user-provided logic using Julia. Obviously the JIT is slower to complete than running a bit of Lua or whatever, but the speed after that is phenomenal and there’s no overhead when you run the same code a second time. It’s pretty great and I’d love to see more of that ability in other languages!

Some of the other points resonate with me. I think sensible dynamic scoping would be an easy way to do dependency injection. Together with something like linear types you could do capabilities pretty smoothly, I think. No real reason why you couldn’t experiment with some persistent storage as one of these dependencies, either. Together with a good JIT story would make for a good, modular environment.
The country was founded on tobacco. It was used as currency for the first 150 years.
Or like saying McDonald's shouldn't have a trademark on "Big Mac" outside of beef burgers, because they don't regularly deal in "Big Macs" made out of chicken.
Well OP, are you me? everything you listed is also in my
short wishlist for a programming language (well except for the value database, once to you have first class relational tables in your language, persistence can be tied to the table identity, doesn't need to be implicit).

Capabilities and dynamic scoping for "modularisation" nicely lead to implicit variables instead of truly global dynamically scoped variables. Implicit variables also probably work well to implement effect systems which means well behaved asyncs.

Edit: other features I want:

- easy embedding in other low level languages (c++ specifically)

- conversely, easy to embed functions written in another language (again c++).

- powerful, shell-like, process control system (including process trees and pipelines), including across machines.

- built-in cooperative shared memory concurrency, and preemptive shared nothing.

- built-in distributed content addressed store

I guess I want Erlang :)

> why is college getting expensive

Because of government subsidies. (If you were willing to pay $100k for college and the government will give you $50k, now the college can charge $150k. Yes that's simplistic but it's the crux.)

> healthcare getting expensive

Healthcare is doubly removed from price feedbacks - patients don't pay for doctors, insurance companies do. Patients don't even pay for insurance, employers do.

Not too mention that the number of new doctors in the US is artificially constrained.

> day care getting expensive

can't help you on this one

> streaming services getting expensive

Streaming services started out undercutting cable prices. That's no longer necessary so the price is stabilizing. Plus now they are expected to produce their own content.

Expecting everything to have the same root cause is unrealistic.
One thing to add, while your wheels and tires are a big chunk of the weight here - you also have the uprights/knuckle and the wheel hub, bearing, brakes, rotor etc etc. All of that adds up quick. Most times if you are looking to reduce this on a car you will have the most gains (or losses haha) switching to an aftermarket wheel. No wonder the manufacturers slapped alloys on their cars too!
From the podcast's website:

> The documentary will culminate in groundbreaking, tightly controlled telepathy experiments conducted in university labs with multiple scientists, led by Dr. Diane Powell. These experiments—conducted in Faraday cages and designed to be peer-reviewed—have been Dr. Powell’s dream for over a decade. This revolutionary research will validate what we’ve seen in early tests and bring it to the masses, shining a light on the incredible abilities of non-speakers.

> Please note: the tests featured in our “test library” were conducted by Ky Dickens with a small crew in non-speakers’ homes to confirm the validity of telepathy and ensure this was a story worth pursuing and that the phenomena was real. Now, it’s time to take this work to the next level and formally capture these experiments for the world to see.

A lot of the linked critique boils down to "the tests talked about in the tapes are invalid because they aren't following rigorous protocols." They are seeking funding to finish the documentary and to perform more rigorous tests. The people behind it all, whether they're correct or not, are earnest in their belief and not grifters. I'd love to see that experiment happen.

Ah, we should be friends!

There’s an unspoken phrase here, it’s “in the way I think it should be done”.

Just because the younger generation are doing things differently it doesn’t make them wrong, in my generation it was sending text messages that was wrong because we weren’t talking on the phone. Before that it was talking on the phone rather than going to people’s houses.

I’ll also add what my psychologist told me.

Social skills aren’t innate in humans, we have to be taught them. Smaller family sizes and greater distances from extended family mean these aren’t taught by older siblings/cousins/etc like the used to and parents aren’t filling the gap, which means standards of social interaction are changing much more rapidly.

Trying some perf events confirms that there is no extra inserted uop. Going back to the SHLX R[i], R[i], RCX loop, we have:

No anomaly:

2,190,954,207 cpu_core/cycles:u/ ( +- 0.14% )
4,412,790,656 cpu_core/uops_issued.any:u/ ( +- 0.11% )

2,121,401,346 cpu_core/exe_activity.2_ports_util:u/ ( +- 0.11% )
6,015,432 cpu_core/exe_activity.exe_bound_0_ports:u/ ( +- 8.87% )
593,599,670 cpu_core/uops_retired.stalls:u/ ( +- 0.85% )

Anomaly:

4,357,567,336 cpu_core/cycles:u/ ( +- 0.15% )
4,448,899,140 cpu_core/uops_issued.any:u/ ( +- 0.26% )
2,107,051,688 cpu_core/exe_activity.1_ports_util:u/ ( +- 0.14% )
1,106,699,503 cpu_core/exe_activity.2_ports_util:u/ ( +- 0.13% )
1,129,497,409 cpu_core/exe_activity.exe_bound_0_ports:u/ ( +- 0.42% )
2,502,226,997 cpu_core/uops_retired.stalls:u/ ( +- 0.38% )

Noise from the surrounding code aside, we see the same number of uops issued. However in the anomaly case, ~1/4th of the cycles are spent with no uops being executed, 1/2 are spent with only 1 uop being executed, and around 1/4 of the cycles have 2 uops being executed. I expected 0 and 2 being 50/50, consistently with there being one cycle stall, but if the uops are desynched and issued one cycle apart it would also explain the 1 being so prominent.

To confirm this I add an LFENCE at the start of each loop iteration to serialize the pipeline and try to ensure that each SHLX pair is issued in the same cycle. And it works:

4,581,269,346 cpu_core/cycles:u/ ( +- 0.10% )
4,556,347,404 cpu_core/uops_issued.any:u/ ( +- 0.12% )
133,363,872 cpu_core/exe_activity.1_ports_util:u/ ( +- 7.73% )
2,082,838,530 cpu_core/exe_activity.2_ports_util:u/ ( +- 0.24% )
2,165,817,614 cpu_core/exe_activity.exe_bound_0_ports:u/ ( +- 0.06% )
3,090,362,239 cpu_core/uops_retired.stalls:u/ ( +- 0.16% )

Now the uops are split between 0 and 2 executed per cycle, as theorized.

I'm not sure privacy violation is necessarily the right term to help people understand why long-term non repudiation is an undesirable property for some people.

It comes down to if a third party gets access to your emails (e.g. through a server compromise), should they be able to prove to a fourth party that the emails are legitimately yours, vs completely faked? Non repudiation through strong DKIM keys enables this.

Example: Third party is a ransomware gang who releases your emails because you didn't pay a ransom after your email server was compromised. Fourth party is a journalist who doesn't trust the ransomware gang, but also wants to publish juicy stories about your company if there is one, but doesn't want to risk their reputation / a defamation case if the ransomware gang just invented the emails.
Good questions. As I understand, they spent months to decide who will be responsible and who will pay (and how much). Announce happen after budget passed Parliament, so now could make manning table and hire people for next steps.

It’s usually not dramatically simpler though. Many of them (C++, TypeScript, Rust…) end up growing into esoteric, “accidentally Turing-complete” monstrosities that are much harder to reason about than simple if statements and loops.
