They call (or called, 3 years ago) it a "multi-modal" database, but really it was just a wrapper around three engines. It did come with fairly standardised pricing and availability guarantees, though, so my impression it was it was trying to sell to cloud architects and CIOs who might appreciate that.

The main challenge that parents face today is on-line culture. Creating trust may mitigate that.

In the same way that teachers cannot educated children instead of their parents, even that they help. Social networks should not educate children but they are doing that. Being the problem that social network incentives are misaligned with education. Ad driven feature development and content promotion plus total deregulation make the on-line world a minefield for children.

If children at least trust their parents it is possible to mitigate the worst parts of on-line culture.
It's math and not just for integers. That's also how slide rule works.

a×b = 10^(log(a×b))

log(a×b) = log(a)+log(b)

thus a×b = 10^(log(a)+log(b))

As a child aged five, I broke through the ice and fell into a pond that had frozen over. The Kindergarten teacher was both alert and quick thinking enough to get me out fast. I never remembered more of the event that a) I wore a velvety-black-colored coat made from corduroy and b) that I woke up in the ambulance soggy wet as was the teacher next to me.

The rest of that event - why I walked away from the group, whether I was called back or just lucky, or even what I thought or felt when I went into the water - all gone. Can't remember. Only that afterwards, it felt odd how panicy mum was, and that she immediately insisted on swimming lessons.

So when I was five, this was an experience like "any" - How was I supposed to understand that I had a close brush with death, or what that even meant ?

(I wish your daughter a long and happy life, and may neither her nor anyone have to experience the feelings that you did, or my mum)
> I agree with you in some sense, but also, kinda don't. That is, I agree that thinking git stores diffs is not correct, but I'm not fully sold on how big of a deal it is to be incorrect here.

It's not so much about what actually happens underneath, that should be irrelevant and git just does what it does for practical reasons ultimately (as you point out, with packfiles, but this is definitely not a detail any git user needs to be aware of).

The problem I see is that git actually exposes both views of things. A seasoned git user will be used to the "duality" of commits vs diffs (ie. they are two different views of the same thing). Git exposes diffs directly when cherry-picking or rebasing, but at most other times you are working with commits. You don't push/pull diffs, you push/pull commits. It seems like a small thing, but every time I've dug into why somebody is having trouble with git it seems to be they view the world only as diffs.

So my question really was whether jj attempts to expose only one or the other. Looking at your explanation I would say it doesn't. It seems to me like changes are very similar to branches in git. At least this is how I think of branches in git, but I tend to be the "git guy" in every place I've worked. I mutate branches all day long by doing git commit amend etc.

It seems like the real point here is to get rid of "branch" as that is an overloaded concept and split it into two things: change and bookmark. In many ways it just seems like a reinforcement of the way I (and I guess other "git guys") use git anyway. Interesting!

Purity becomes a hard goal when ever you hit the real world at build or runtime. By definition, you have to bridge 2 domains.

Imagine constant time compute and constant memory constrains, required in cryptography, being applied to the nix ecosystem.

Yes, this is an artifical example but it shows that purity is harder to define and come by, then some people think. Maybe someday these constraints actually do apply to nix goal of reproducibility.

With ever changing hardware that purity is a moving target so nix imo will always be an approach to purity and bundling so much tooling is to be expected. Still, you can legitimately call it a hack :)

Nobody is expected to take the 5% goal seriously. Even the US has not reached that level since 1992, with the current defense spending at 3.4%.

If the US decided to leave NATO completely, European military spending might stabilize somewhere around 3%, with lower spending in the west and higher in the east. At that level, the overall spending would be a bit below US figures in absolute terms and higher than the US in PPP terms.

> The Unreal Engine 5 demo, "The Matrix Awakens", is a download of more than a terabyte. That's before decompression.

The PS5 and Xbox Series S/X both had disks that were incapable of holding a terabyte at the launch of The Matrix Awakens. Not sure where you are getting that info from, but both the X S/X and PS5 were about 30GB in size on disk, and the later packaged PC release is less than 20GB.

The full PC development system might total a TB with all Unreal Engine, Metahumans, City Sample packs, Matrix Awakens code and assets (audio, mocap, etc) but even then the consumer download will be around the 20-30GB size as noted above.

In programming language theory there are two ways to represent programs:

* data, which has intensional equality (you understand it by what it is)

* codata, which has extensional equality (you understand it by what it does)

For data think data in a normal programming language. (Algebraic data types, if that means anything.)

For codata think functions (or objects).

These are duals, meaning you can map on to the other. If you have a design using data you can transform it to codata and vice versa.

This opens up a lot design opportunities by exploiting this duality. There is more in the book I'm writing if this is your kind of thing: https://scalawithcats.com/

afaik the "right kind of code" does a lot of heavy lifting for practical implementations, such as Classical McEliece.

correct me if I am wrong as I havent spent much time looking into it, but the security analysis essentially says "we assume the Goppa code is indistinguishable from a random code so the best attack is to do generic decoding for a random code (NP-hard problem)". but there is no reduction to some NP-hard problem that Goppa code (the specific code used in Classical McEliece) is indistinguishable.

the assumption is reasonable as nobody has been able to find a distinguisher for decades. also, if a distinguisher exists, it also doesn't translate into a direct attack against the system, it just means you cannot rule out "structural attacks" and jump to NP-hard problem.

> assuming a Japanese child will have patience where an American will not is the same weird thought ...

I agree that it is weird. And I did not read the article. But I would assume that this is not the point it was trying to make when referring to race or location backgrounds.

When remarks like these are made, I would think they usually refer to a neighborhood. For instance, a well-groomed neighborhood at a good location vs. a slum at the outskirts of town, perhaps without electricity or even without running water. The race is mentioned in that context often not because it would have a direct impact. But because there is, unfortunately, a correlation between people living in poor neighborhoods and people of racial minorities.

I would think that the implication then is that a bad neighborhood is one of the factors which drive bad social behavior.
I'm also somewhat critical of this invention, but I reckon the use case is very niche, and might only really apply in certain applications like the hypothetical deck project you mention. Projects where you need to drive a ton of screws in very quickly.

But... I feel there are other tools/solutions in this space that work much better: self-drilling screws, nailguns, nailguns-but-for-screws, etc.

I went the complete opposite direction as the result of violent and abusive parents and had never considered that the opposite also occurs, but of course it must.

Given the whole fight or flight thing, I am wildly predisposed to choosing fight. It took years and I mean years to learn to control this.
