I was responding directly to your objection with having to pay for it as the reason to do this, not hacking for the sake of hacking.
Everyone pays it, but the distribution of costs depends on nature and not on rational policy. It also depends on having the wealth to avoid certain costs, e.g., by leaving dangerous areas.
But it has some biggest cities. Is such fast fiber available there?
I shall employ this to recast the why of my work-swearing: I am not swearing at or about the idiot who wrote this code (note: sometimes the idiot is me), I am swearing to increase my productivity/focus as I pickOneOrMoreFromList("refactor", "accept", "work with", "work around") this code.

Thank you! You may have reduced my stress.
You're on Hacker News, therefore a rational person. Shouldn't you be forming opinions from statistics rather than extrapolating from individual cases?
If you read the article, and then read the referenced report, you can see that long term planning is included, which also covers maintenance and upgrades. None of those are new issues or unsolved problems. It's not core to the issue of broadband access at all.
I think it is as follows: We call it AI nowadays as long as we cannot clearly easily show how to get to the result, which means the computer did something that seems intelligent to us for the moment. Once we can explain things and write down a concise algorithm, we hesitate to call it AI.

Basically, we call things AI, that we are too stupid to understand.
That has been part of the republican playbook since the 80's. Leave things in a mess, so the incoming replacements have to spend their term fixing everything, rather than implementing any changes they campaigned on.
this also always gets forgotten when high speed rail comes up. Air travel makes a LOT of sense for the way the US population is distributed. Rail makes more sense when you want to have stops along the way, but in the US, there's a lot of nothing between distantly located cities.

As I kid I played a competitive text based strategy game, and I made my own crude simulation that randomly tried different strategies. I let the simulation run for a few days with billions of iterations, and it came up with a very good gameplay strategy. I went from being ranked below 1000 to top 10 using that strategy.

I also wrote programs that simulated classic game shows like the 3 doors, where you either stay with one door or change door. After running the simulation one million time it ended up with 66% chance of winning if you changed door. The teacher of course didn't believe me as it was too hard a problem for a highscooler to solve, but many years later I got it confirmed by a math professor that prooved it.

Computers are so fast that you don't really need AI learning to iterate, just run a simulation randomly and you will eventually end up with something very good.

I think this might be a use case for quantum computers, so if you have a quantum computer I'm interested to work with you.

The queue method is popular, but there's a much faster (branch-free) and in my opinion simpler way, known as the van Herk/Gil-Werman algorithm in image processing. It splits the input into windows and pairs up a backward scan on one window with a forward scan on the next. This works for any associative function. I was very surprised when I learned about it that it's not taught more often (the name's not doing it any favors)! And I wrote a tutorial page on it for my SIMD-oriented language, mostly about vectorizing it which I didn't quite finish writing up, but with what I think is a reasonable presentation in the first part: https://github.com/mlochbaum/Singeli/blob/master/doc/minfilt...

I also found an interesting streaming version here recently: https://signalsmith-audio.co.uk/writing/2022/constant-time-p...

EDIT: On closer inspection, this method is equivalent to the one I described, and not the one I'm used to seeing with queues (that starts my tutorial). The stack-reversing step is what forms a backwards scan. The combination of turning it sequential by taking in one element at a time but then expressing this in functional programming makes for a complicated presentation, I think.
Thanks! Good idea

It was to avoid the situation of someone naming a frame “blank” without being aware of it having special semantics, or (I’m not completely clear on the history) avoiding breaking compatibility with existing use. That’s much more unlikely with a name like “_blank”. It’s common practice to separate out names with special semantics from general-use names in a syntactic way like that. There’s also “_self”, “_parent”, and “_top”. It’s an extensible scheme where HTML can add further names with special semantics in that reserved name space.

I now agree that the article doesn’t make a particularly good job in explaining all of this.

In the peripherial Europe, like the United Kingdom, fiber optic became available only in the last couple of years, definitely not early 2000s. There are still places within 80KM from London, near main train lines, where you can't get more than 50Mbps, so while probably most of the population of Europe has access to fast Internet, your statements are not entirely true. In 2012 average internet speed in the UK was 7Mbps and now it's probably around 75Mbps.

Yes. This is exactly what it is. It is a "pragmatic compromise" to side-step major internal cultural and philosophical issues (not technical issues). You're basically telling a number of C maintainers that they can simply pretend Rust doesn't exist, even if it may be the case that Rust code is the primary consumer of that API. That's a workable solution, but it isn't an ideal solution - and that's a little sad.

Yes, and that API is needed for drivers written in Rust. So it's not like core parts of the kernel are being now written in Rust, it's still just specific Rust drivers.

> They do, and if they get disrupted by competition, this way of working is not the biggest reason for it.

I interviewed with a company that was "disrupted" precisely because of this way of working. (They have a well-known interrupt-driven culture.) They were a major vendor, and were trying to move their business into the area that finally disrupted them. (They were a major choice in software projects in the late 1990s and early 2000s, then lost business due to competition, and then changes in the 2010s really ate into their market.)

I took the interview for "career development," and generally planned to decline the job unless it was huge bucks. During the interview, when I asked the manager about interruptions, it became clear that they were the kind of place that the article described, and that's why their initiative is an "also ran."

Anyway, in the area they were trying to move their business to, no one generally considers them a major player. Their three major competitors are mentioned all the time, but their name rarely comes up.

I consider them disrupted at this point: Both in their product that had success in the 1990s and 2000s, and in their ability to adapt to market conditions established in the 2010s and firmly expected today. They could move into today's market if they had a better way of working, though.
That is not a problem to solve by internet blocking. That's a problem to be solved by tracking down the sources and arresting them so they can't make more. Blocking doesn't stop the underlying abuse. And blocking is too dangerous of a capability to exist, because it can and will be abused.

Needless to say, I moved.

It sounds likely to be a language in the Tamil-Kannada family (as these are the major languages of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka respectively).

> TSLA has made your ETF appreciate the same amount

That's no guarantee. I mean, yes, the ETF price reflects its proportion of Tesla stock, but the market as a whole might have declined - even in bear markets some individual stocks appreciate.

Investing in ETFs is a long-term, counter-cyclical strategy. Dips are when you want to buy ETFs, not when you want to be forced to sell them because you took a short that failed to pay off. If you have to do that then you're not only selling the Tesla within your ETF, but also the future upside of all the other stocks in the fund. Isn't that hugely inefficient?

But, I'm not a particularly sophisticated investor, either (thus: ETFs for me), so my intuition may be wrong. Does anyone have some maths to bring to bear on this?
> For most people Python/Javascript also does the job

True, and people should use whatever works best for them/for the job, no questions asked.

But they also have nowhere near the same experience even though they technically have REPLs. The way a JS/Python dev typically use a REPL is experiment in the REPL itself, then when happy, write the "real code", while a Clojure developers write "real code" all the code, sending selections of code to a REPL in the background, viewing the results in their editor, and just saves the file when they're happy. It might sound similar, but very different experience.

> However, learning a Lisp also makes you a better coder because of immutability and less side-effects. Hence why Clojure is still around.

I don't think "immutability" and "less side-effects" is something lisps in general/all lisps promote/facilitate, it's mostly a thing that Clojure (and children) sticks out for caring a lot about. Scheme/Common Lisp is about as immutable as JavaScript is, and lots of CL programs/code out there spreading mutation all over the place, while in Clojure it's pretty common to just have small "pieces" of mutation in somewhat centralized location.

>possibilities for 2 individuals, when one obsesses over FIRE and another that obsesses over having to work and feeling bored if not workin

There are definitely individuals for whom work/salary is a means to acquiring a big enough pile to buy a nice house, travel, educate their kids, etc. I also worked with someone, who was by no means a workaholic, but didn't really like to travel, had a modest set of hobbies, and got bored around the house. So he mostly didn't take vacation and was very content to keep working.
As someone who worked with Common Lisp many moons ago, this is the answer I needed to pique my interest in Clojure (again).
The underlying assumption in both is that "what the electricity is doing is basically worthless" - for society or by some other measurement.

>Every bit counts.

"every bit" also costs political capital. Making any sort of change is going to cause a stir, and if you're going to cause a political shitshow, you might as well get good returns for it. Causing a political shitshow, but only making a modest impact is the worst outcome. Just look at the pasty tax in the UK[1]. The government proposed a change to the VAT rules that would have made a minimal fiscal impact, but generated so much flak that they were forced to back down.

It's not necessarily the professor really saying that. Journalists (and university press offices) like to have such lines in pop science articles, and how it goes is that there's an interview from which the writer "interprets" some quotes. These are typically sent to the interviewee to check, but many don't bother to push back so much of it's not egregiously bad.
As an aside I've noticed this in real time on Youtube - titles of videos just released changing before my eyes.
Even in places where it makes all the sense in the world, we don't have quality rail.

Ellison's strength, I felt like, has always been in the field of sales and ruthless contract negotiation rather than technical innovation - a "golden touch" that doesn't benefit disruptive scientific innovation, but might instead prove more fruitful if applied to an a mature technology that just needs to proliferate out there in the world.
