Java is 3-5x slower than compiled languages, with horrible and uncontrollable tail latencies due to garbage collection. The bytecode thrashes the icache and the language is overly abstracted and too verbose. You have to install a huge runtime to use it. Many frameworks abuse the language to make things monkey patched/non-obvious. There's a reason many projects are rewritten in native languages.

Java does have a place, however, for I/O bound workloads where developer productivity matters more than performance. You can write a lot of horrible code in Java very quickly.

When I read "So we do need to write our own allocator", I winced. Almost every time I've had to hunt down a hard bug in a Rust crate, one that requires a debugger, it turns out to be someone who wrote their own unsafe allocator and botched the job.
Same. Although I just discovered UpNote, which seems good so far.
And now instead of having a small update every now and then that you can perhaps try to adapt to, you have a massive update every 5 years or whatever (or less if you happened to start out just before the next LTS) that'll basically guaranteed wreck everything (by design even!!) and for all intents and purposes might as well not exist cause there's no way you're upgrading to the horrible "new" mess. And we're back at people being stuck on outdated software, but now there's just absolutely no way whatsoever you'll get them to upgrade.

Never mind the problem of if you started out on a non-LTS version.

And also the problem of not getting the actually nice updates, and perhaps losing app compatibility.

So, no, not solved at all.

From what I’ve observed, Google was an anomaly that helped build trust in Big Tech (and lured me into it).

AFAIK, developers had strong reservations against Microsoft before the Google era, and it was only after Google’s rise that Silicon Valley became attractive to top talent, leading to a shift in the tech landscape. Now, with the decline of Google’s culture, that trust seems to be fading as well.

Unlike traditional corporations, Google used to be trusted by investors, employees, users, and the general public — I can’t think of any other company that checked all these boxes.
I think if you're overly using dynamic scoping in clojure you are probably doing it very wrong.

I used clojure professionally for a number of years and I can't remember ever really using it.
It's quite common knowledge in the gamedev world (at least the part that writes C++ code, the other parts that uses C# or JS has roughly the same problem, just caused by unpredictable GC behaviour).

Towards the end of the 90s, game development transitioned from C to C++, and was also infected by the almighty OOP brain virus. The result was often code which allocated each tiny object on the heap and managed object lifetime through smart pointers (often shared pointers for everything). Then deep into development after a million lines of code there's 'suddenly' thousands of tiny alloc/frees per frame and all over the codebase but hidden from view because the free happens implicitly via RAII - and I have to admit in shame that I was actively contributing to this code style in my youth before the quite obvious realization (supported by hard profiling data) that automatic memory management isn't free ;)

Also the infamous '25k allocs per keystroke' in Chrome because of sloppy std::string usage:

https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev/c/EU...

Apart from performance, the other problem is debuggability. If you have a lot of 'memory allocation noise' to sift though in the memory debugger, it's hard to find the one allocation that causes problems.
VLC can do this atleast for chrome cast
How to build a simplified version of the DeepSeek model using Excel
This is an often repeated misconception. ATP always needed 1500 hours. What wasn’t required is for both pilots to have an ATP, just the captain - the flight officer only needed a commercial certificate. Airlines would hire with lower hours and train on the job.

While both pilots in the crash did have over 1500 hours, the flight officer did not in fact hold an ATP. The rule also changed some of the ATP training requirements, and there were other regulation changes on duty cycles, etc.

It’s very possible we’ve had a run of good luck since 2009. It’s also possible some of the rule changes helped. I wouldn’t dismiss that possibility too quickly.

https://www.faa.gov/documentlibrary/media/notice/n_8900.225....
They can still have IP while using copyrighted training materials - the actual model source code.

But DeepSeek didn't use that presumably (since it's secret). They definitely can't argue that using copyrighted material for training is fine, but using output from other commercial models isn't. That's too inconsistent.
I am happy that Rust defaults to the easier, saner, safer approach by default, but lets you bypass RAII if you want to do so.
I think that one was actually done in an early Japanese computerized CAD package. There's a lot of weird crap in that layout, but it's the sort that the old-school computer layout programs made, not the sort that humans did. Take a look around U111 pin 30, or south of R112, or, heck, any of the text. Whereas there's no sloppy-but-OK vias or wobbly text or anything like that.

I didn't say "decline in support for RSS" but there are many examples of them being removed.

Twitter dropped RSS completely. Facebook dropped them for pages. And then other large sites (Youtube I think is one if I recall right) made it less of a public feature.

Twitter is one that's pretty annoying because there is a lot that gets posted there first before it's published or not published elsewhere at all.
If it had been phrased like yours, I'd completely agree. I reread that part from the OP, but the point really doesn't come across.

Trust is multi-faceted and although I trust Amazon to deliver me a toaster, i don’t for a second trust them to handle my audio or video in a manner I’m comfortable. This survey is talking about the latter kind of trust, not the former.
Teens? Trust has been broken for a much wider demographic.

This problem has been foreseeable and people have been sounding the alarm for over a decade. Companies have centralized AND abused that centralization. We have products that fail at basic tasks while we're trying to push machine learning on people. I say this as a machine learning researcher, who fully believes that it's a powerful and useful technology. But there's so much that could be solved with a regex... we've focused so much on getting to the next target that we lost track of the destination. Much of coding has become glueing, copy paste from stack overflow, and results in not only the deletion of stupid dependencies that shouldn't exist, like leftpad, but we've gotten to a point where we say "don't over optimize" when someone suggests using best practices. You're not optimizing until you're running the profiler and you're not "over optimizing" until you're writing asm... We've just piled on decades of tech debt and forgot that the interest compounds. We moved fast and break things, which is great for learning or getting moving, but no one goes around fixing all the broken things. We have triple A games with hundreds of millions in budgets that can't run 4k@60fps on the best hardware. Half because there isn't enough VRAM and half because the code is so low quality and tries to eat as much VRAM as possible. We've been over promising and under-delivering. We aren't calling out blatant fraud and scams (e.g. Rabbit), but instead endorsing them and hyping them up.

We forgot where we were going. We forgot all the implicit agreements. We make it difficult for young hackers to find that spark and joy of hacking computers for the sake of learning computers. We've become money focused. We've become prestige focused. We forgot that these things were just proxies. It used to be that the public would idolize Jobs and the technical people would idolize Woz. But now we all look to Jobs and forget Woz. You need both and we are cultivating one and not the other. We forgot that you can make the world better AND make hand over fist fulls of money at the same time. But it became where we started getting so much money that it no longer became about the money, but the high score. What happened to Google? Who led the way saying "devs make so much we can't entice them with more money, we will entice them with free lunch instead". Because the best programmers were in it for the love of the job, not for the money.

We did this to ourselves. Slowly and little by little. But all those things compound. So now we're only left with one question: do we turn back, reinstitute the framework that has a proven track record of success, or do we see where this wild ride goes? Every single dev has a role in making that. Little things compound in both directions.
Yep. And then for 6 layers, depending on the actual needs of the design, it'll often be components/ground/signal or power/signal or power/ground/components. Some designs need a lot of signal routing space. Some need a lot of split power rails. And some are nice and easy and don't need either.
> It absolutely does not qualify as genocide

Even just forced sterilization and abortions, which you admitted and rebranded as “enforcing family planning”, is genocide under international law.

> Parents rotate through reeducation for a few months, temporary seperation in interim, family reunited after.

Your few months claim is false. But let’s say it isn’t - are you really claiming this is okay? “Yea they just kidnap your children for a few months”. You clearly don’t have kids to minimize what this is and what it would do to the parents and children.

> Nor large number of deaths... barely any

Barely any that China admits. Of course they kept the area locked down, kept international agencies away, and admit nothing to keep the lie going. But numerous survivors have corroborated programs of torture and killings. You have to be naive or a CCP shill to think there were “barely any deaths”.

Sorry but you’re outing yourself here with this unfactual take that a few web searches easily disprove.

That’s just it, a lot of people want to write, podcast, or be a YouTuber, but they struggle with ideas. They want to use the medium, but they don’t have content ideas. The “real thing” I was talking about is the overarching theme or topic. What are you into, what are you going to write, podcast, or make videos about?

I think understanding what you want to share helps solve the major stumbling block that leads to thousands of blogs with one entry that is effectively hello-world. If told to draw anything, most people will sit with a blank page. However, if they are told to draw a castle, those bounds give them the freedom to start and create, and it can evolve from there.

What are you into to? What hobbies do you have? What do you know, or have opinions about, that others might be interested in? This is your theme, the “real thing”. Writing, podcasting, or video production, without this usually falls flat after 1 or 2 attempts, and it makes it impossible for a habit to form.

If you’re already into something and doing it on a regular basis, then you’re just writing about, talking about it, or recording what you’re already doing or thinking about all the time anyway. The content and ideas can flow more easily, especially at the beginning. Not to mention, being more motivated to make the content, since it’s already a passion.

So many people are trying to make content about nothing, because they aren’t really doing anything else… and this is where friction is born. Do something you find interesting, then share that thing and your perspective on it. Start with the doing, not the sharing (writing, podcasting, and YouTubing is the sharing).

Hopefully this clarifies what I was getting at and resolves the chicken/egg thoughts.

> Between this for new media channels and the breakdown of trust in old media channels there is a lot of reason to be hopeful about the future of the US. One of the big problems of the past was the insane level of trust in institutions that were at best credulous and more realistically just lying continuously and brazenly. It is a big win for the public discourse if people start applying cynicism where warranted.

Instead, people are outsourcing their thinking to people like Joe Rogan and political YouTubers who exploit that cynicism for sponsorships, ad revenue and their own product lines.

Say what you will about corporate media, and I'm also a big critic of it and even PBS, but at least something like PBS isn't pure brain rot and can be informative. I highly doubt Mr. Rogers or the News Hour radicalized anyone.

These days terrorists are literally putting internet memes in their manifestos, along with shout-outs to their favorite YouTubers and internet pundits.

> In many ways this is the real transformation change that the internet posited

The "real change" was the Arab Spring era and powers all over the world quickly learned to not let that happen in their own backyards.

We are currently experiencing a duality between domestic powers doing their best to stifle or direct change for their benefit, and external powers doing their best to generate unrest elsewhere to their benefit. The internet as it exists enables both to extents the world has never seen before.

> Manufactured consensuses aren't holding so easily and people are being forced to acknowledge the sausage factory behind them.

Manufactured consent has modernized, it's happening right now all over the internet. Tech has become the modern Skinner box for owners to manipulate users, and social media has absolutely warped the minds of at least one generation in favor of their owners, too.

I wish I had your optimism, and I did like ~20 years ago, but man, the internet is pure poison for the unprepared mind. And I think we're all varying levels of unprepared for the highly optimized digital manipulation on the internet.
There is a marked difference between trusting an institution to deliver a predictable experience for you, vs. trusting it to be able to go beyond its current practices to do something values-driven that you might want it to do.

Trying to collapse both definitions into a word “trust” in a headline is, well, the type of thing I expect of modern editorial practices where good journalism is given inane titles by click-optimizing editorial staff, and thus something that causes my “trust” in the headlines vs. in the reporting itself to diverge.

The decline in support for RSS is more visible on the client side. Sure there are reader options for the determined, especially if technically minded, but that's a marginal population.

In today's hyperconcentrated digital landscape about the only thing that matters for mass market relevance are the default options on client software controlled by gatekeepers.

Mozilla too has abandoned RSS, which may or may not be correlated with them being (alas) increasingly irrelevant.

Eventually lack of popular RSS clients lead to slow decline on the server side as well. A new and fancy website today using a "modern" stack more likely than not does not support RSS, its fully aligned with the "follow us on XYZ" mentality.
I have seen spam messages using random distribution of '.' in mails for years to my gmail.
> It's the opposite. Trust nothing, and we end up with pure chaos and the tragedy of the commons.

I think it is worse. We only need to look at popular authoritarian countries. Talk to the peoples that grew up there. Where they fear their neighbors. And that is the point, that is part of the control, you don't know who will "turn you in" for speaking up, so you don't. So you live in fear, you stay quiet for so long that the thoughts become even quiet to yourself.

Trust is a necessary part of a society. Trust, but verify. But you still need trust. Without trust, the burdens are far too great. The world is too complex for one man to know everything. We have so much information and there is so much to know, one man is unlikely to even truly know one thing. Look at those with PhDs for an example. How narrow the research is. How narrow their expertise is. Do one yourself and you'll see that there are deep rabbitholes even in what appears to be a very simple topic.

What percentage of Meta or Google do you suppose is actually working on technology?

Yeah sure they have little moonshot side projects involving quantum computing or whatever, but data centers and surveillance and browser malware has all been around for decades. They've been moving the needle hardly any all.

Just like writing memory safe code in C is a skill issue right? ;)

(I write mostly C code myself, but I'm also not immune to f*cking up now and then even though I write code for decades now).
Yes and it sucks people copy this.

The default should be X / GND / X GND to maintain tight coupling of both signals and power to the GND plane and stitch the GND planes together with vias close to any other via that changes layers to maintain return paths.

Power should be routed normally, except it should use widest practical traces and get decoupled with C close to ICs that consume it.

But in any case, you always need to think about the signal and return. Even for power. It's never truly DC.

If you do the "classic" signals / GND / VDD / signals, you are routing over VDD plane and your ground is waaay farther. Means all accidental VDD noise (you can't pinpoint, because it takes frequency dependent paths across the VDD/GND C) gets coupled into your signals on the back side.

So don't do that.
