> How large do the pointers need to be? The natural answer is that each pointer uses log nbits. However, the fact that each pointer has a distinct owner makes it possible to compress the pointers to o(log n) bits.

What if you have to debug the whole situation, such that you don't always know who is the owner of a pointer you are looking at?

> A user k can call Allocate(k) in order to get a tiny pointer p; they can dereference the tiny
pointer pby computing a function Dereference(k,p) whose value depends only on k, p, and random bits;
and they can free a tiny pointer p by calling a function Free(k,p).

That is tantamount ot saying that the pointer is not actually p but the tuple <k, p>, and so its size consists of the number of bits in k, the number of bits in p plus an indication of where the division between these bits lie: where k ends and p begins.

We can abbreviate <k, p> to p in contexts where k can be implicitly understood.
>I think this is a great idea for a startup

Ideally, this runs like wikipedia or Lichess, if I'm being honest. I don't think its a great business model for a VC backed startup[0]. Perhaps a more traditional business inception might work, if you are selling it to the big conference organizations / hosts and make it attractive enough for it to be their go to for posting videos and such.

I think it ends up imploding against the pressures that come with it with being a VC startup though.

[0]: I'm taking the term startup to mean shorthand for venture backed startup, as it is usually used on HN and other places.

> FullSoak is (mostly) WYSIWYG. Compared to sophisticated frameworks such as Next.js or Remix, FullSoak is actually very "stupid looking": 1) you start with a "Controller" file (as in good old "MVC") which 2) renders your TSX component as text/html content (i.e. a plain string), and then 3) the content hydrates itself on the client side.

Unless it integrates a gui page editor, it's not wysiwyg.

And hydration on the client side is very much not SSR.

Also "stupid looking" doesn't really mean "simple".

There may be something interesting here, but the naming / description is really all over the place and misleading.

This article misses the forest through the trees.

I can grant that a typical usage of wireless bandwidth doesn't require more than 10Mbps. So, what does "even faster buy you"?

The answer is actually pretty simple, at any given frequency you have a limited amount of data that can be transmitted. The more people you have chatting to a tower, the less available bandwidth there is. By having a transmission standard with theoretical capacities in the GB or 10GB, or more you make it so you can service 10, 100, 1000 more customers their 10Mbps content. It makes it cheaper for the carrier to roll out and gives a better experience for the end users.
It's not that stupid IMO, they could handle it like some places handle electricity — there's a single distributor managing infra but you can select from a number of providers offering different generation rates

Having 5 competing infrastructures trying to blanket the country means that you end up with a ton of waste and the most populated places get priority as they constantly fight each other for the most valuable markets while neglecting the less profitable fringe
The argument that density puts stress on people to move _towards_ that density seems to me to have the direction of causation reversed. People look at prices when they move, not density.

Do the semantics of the borrow checker play nicely with C projects, depending on architectures? And the other semantics of Rust?

If the above quotes are accurate, how would it be consistent with what you wrote?

This quote especially:

As for being designed for interop with C, I found this blog:

https://ludwigabap.bearblog.dev/zig-vs-rust-at-work-the-choi...

Where they chose Zig instead of Rust, and mentioned the importance of interop, and that Zig also is a C compiler. Something that is claimed on Zig's website as well:

>Incrementally improve your C/C++/Zig codebase.
>
>Use Zig as a zero-dependency, drop-in C/C++ compiler that supports cross-compilation out-of-the-box.

I know barely anything about Zig, so I don't know the veracity of this, however.

Rust's FFI also relies on undefined behavior if this comment isn't outdated https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/59625#issuecomment-48... https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/core/s... . Might not be an issue as long as the implementation is only used with LLVM and LLVM doesn't change.

Both that one and the gym one are obvious "exceptions with a rough analogue" - the nunnery is allowed less parking than would normally be required because of the assumption of communal living (the same reason one vehicle per household makes more sense than one vehicle per driver when dealing with residential units).

And gyms are unlikely to make deeper pools, but longer/wider ones, which would support more customers.

And when the regulations were written down, you'd only need one nunnery in development or existing or foreseen to make the exception appear.
So the build happens implicitly via the runtimes, then.

Funnily enough, most apps aren't taking enough advantage of multi-core multi-threading environments that are common across all major platforms.

The single biggest bottleneck to improvement is the general lack of developers using the APIs to the fullest extent when designing applications. Its not really hardware anymore.

People often say this when parking spots are being taken away, but when they try to placate it with having short time parking spots or paid parking (which would increase the likelihood of a pizza driver or handyman finding a free spot) they somehow aren't happy.

Funny the idea that the neutrino might be a tachyon never seems to go away. The best fit of OPERA results is within error bars of the speed of light but towards the superluminal side. Superluminal neutrinos of the energy they were generating with the kind of mass we expect wouldn't be going measurably faster than the speed of light.

I visited the site of this experiment

where the best fit for the squared mass was just a tiny bit negative but within bounds of zero. There is the classic 1985 Chodos paper

Shoup wrote a LOT about how charging too little for parking leads to everyone using it, which makes parking worse for everyone involved. San Francisco charges about $50c a day for residential street parking in areas that have a parking permit zone - which is decided on a block by block basis. Most street parking in SF is completely free.

Raise prices even slightly, and people's behaviors will adjust accordingly. I have a friend who street parked two cars until he moved to a different neighborhood and had to start paying for permits. Now he just keeps his commuter and leaves his overlander in the suburbs.

I've been wanting to make a no-build webapp using Mithril.js[1][2], with plain-JS type annotations that don't require build steps (TypeScript's JSDoc syntax [3], but I'm looking forward to the proposed type annotations[4]). With something like this, type-checking would still require running a command when using Node.js, but it's just an optional developer dependency since the code would still be just standard JavaScript.

But in the end I've not done that because I figured it's more effort than it's worth, compared to just doing server-side rendering with other backend languages and just using JS where needed (not necessarily "raw" JS, I just mean it as in "not having a full-page component").

I'm just letting you know that there are definitely some people like me that would like if more JS tooling didn't require a build step or specific runtimes (like Deno or Bun) as a hard dependency.

Sure looks like a build step to me?

Anyway I'm fine with one easy Deno build step, but Deno already has a fantastic web framework that supports SSR, so how is this different to Fresh?
It works very well in at least two very rich European countries, and one bit less affluent but still not exactly poor.
Bun handling the TSX at runtime is just its capabilities as an interpeter. Else we'd be saying all interpreted languages have a build step
It's worth noting that we received the neutrinos from Supernova 1987a before the photons. We think that's because the photons have a difficult time escaping the ejecta cloud, while neutrinos stream away freely, but who knows ...

It actually works well in most places. Look up the term “common carrier”.

The trick is that the entity that owns the wires has to provide/upgrade the network at cost, and anyone has the right to run a telco on top of the network.

This creates competition for things like pricing plans, and financial incentives for the companies operating in the space to compete on their ability to build out / upgrade the network (or to not do that, but provide cheaper service).
>They're driven by voters who want businesses to have more parking than business owners would pay for, given the choice.

And even then it's only the vocal minority. Nobody who doesn't have an axe to grind shows up to the zoning committee meeting on such an item.

A huge amount of specific policy winds up being driven by Karens and NIMBYs who will vote for anything that drives up cost because it tends to drive out everything that isn't Startbucks or similar.

You'll have some policy and the number everyone thinks is fine is X but the Karens get to screeching and the number goes up to 12 because the people who were ok with 8 are also ok with Y but the Karens wouldn't settle for less.

Sorry, I can't answer that as a yes/no since there is a whole package of connotation with such statement that I don't necessarily agree with in either case.

I thought my argument was clear, but I can try to make it more clear:

- I eat pork. Unfortunately because of people like me there are many many suffering pigs.

- I believe that it is more justified to make a pig suffer for neuroscience research than to be made into a McRoyal. (Let's assume that the suffering is comparable. Please also assume that the suffering is necessary for the particular research and that research has actual potential for useful applications. If there is evidence of unnecessary abuse then I'm not defending such abuse.)

- Therefore it seems silly to me to attack neuroscience researchers instead of me, an omnivore who could be vegetarian/vegan.

I understand that one can argue for both positions at the same time -- argue against research on animals and argue against eating meat. But I think the latter one is much more important than the former. And yet you probably wouldn't attack me for my meat-eating habit. (Maybe because doing so would be impolite.)
> 7 Backpressure
> Was that the intention of the artist? You decide—is the wheel in the pipes a clever reference to UNIX back pressure, or is that a stretch?

Maybe? That wheel is a valve handle BTW. A closed valve in a fluid system would cause back-pressure upstream as no flow will allow the pressure to build to what ever maximum the source can provide. Valves which control flow (globe valve) can also act as a crude pressure controller if partly open allowing only a small amount of flow causing back pressure to build. In the case of Unix pipes, back pressure occurs when the writer fills the pipe's buffer before the reader consumes it causing the writer to hang. Now both procs are doing nothing bringing your data assembly line to a grinding halt. Not good for production.

One of my siblings is obese and another overweight. I've been the 'skinny one' (at healthy BW/BMI/whatever) all my life. I've long suspected that if they could watch every single thing I consume in a day's time—or alternatively, allowed me to portion every single thing of theirs—they'd be shocked by the sheer difference in volume from what they've come to expect as normal.

Calorie counting aside, many, many people become strongly adapted to excessive daily consumption, and they're completely unaware that it's their root issue. It's not so much that weighing can show people how much they should be eating, but rather how much they should not be eating.
