This seems like it could accelerate the transition to sub-1nm nodes (previously projected to mid 2030s), maybe by the end of this decade.

That must do wonders for antibiotic resistance.

Experts know that copy/pasting and/or reimplementing code is not an issue in practice regardless of how often it comes up as an anti-pattern in freshman CS courses. The (amalgamated) software system can still be audited in reasonable time as long as the number of third party dependencies is kept low.

Rust has thrown the baby out with the bathwater in that regard resulting in software that is practically impossible to audit without putting in enormous effort.

I've never seen a C program use hundreds of dependencies. This is typical in Rust (and Node). I know a few high assurance teams that dropped Rust for this very reason.

Would be a lot better from every possible angle (immersion, depth, replayability) if it was sandbox multiplayer. Otherwise, I'd rather play TIS-100.

The level of delusional wishful thinking here defies belief. Seattle and all other US "left" strongholds are decomposing and falling apart, with parts of these cities worse off than the third world. Instead of realizing that it's ineffective, incompetent and detached from reality politicians that have brought ruin and misery, you want to hand them even more money.

Brilliant.

As has happened in nearly every European state with wealth taxes. But the elephant in the room is that these policies give the same ineffective, corrupt and entirely worthless politicians even more money to "manage". The very definition of delusional wishful thinking.

This level of naivety is characteristic of certain SV types where wishful thinking is the order of the day. We're already living through the disastrous effects of the "social media" revolution and this is going to be much more of the same, with even worse negative effects on society.

Just imagine what this will do to critical thinking, interpersonal relationships and family dynamics in a country where illiteracy is rapidly climbing. I don't think it's a stretch to write that if the unrestrained capitulation in terms of societal costs towards big tech continues, we're setting ourselves up for {generational, class-based} conflict that will rip our country to pieces.

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how he got Internet to access qbittorrent on a private IP, but then I read this:

"you see, at some point in time the password was bypassed for users on local network 192.168.1.0/24, however the traefik ingress lives on 192.168.1.1"

which of course is his real problem (reverse proxy, microservices). And of course he has to double down and pile on even more complexity as the solution, instead of throwing out all the crap he's stacked together and coming up with something simple, performant and sane.

They never made good notebooks. Compared to German and Japanese notebooks that even cost less, moleskine is terrible.

If you're a power user, the sooner you learn Emacs the better as the synergies with any Lisp language (particularly Common Lisp) are simply too strong to be ignored and there is no contemporary alternative that rivals it.

For new users, this looks like a welcome alternative to messy things like Lem that never really worked very well for me.

Dwarkesh is your run-of-the-mill vapid influencer idiot. Fridman on the other hand, when in the presence of greatness, knows to STFU and listen.

Very smart people on discord sounds like an oxymoron: why would anyone very smart contribute to the siloization of knowledge and support grow a corporate entity possessing highly questionable incentives? Discord is not a great place to discuss anything of substance.

If that's not clear to some now, it will be once monetization kicks in and the inevitable blowup and loss of accumulated knowledge follows.

Assuming he shows up, he'll still probably be trying to defend the indefensible..

Disabling Nagle's algorithm should be done as a matter of principle, there's simply no modern network configuration where it's beneficial.

This is why I left California and utterly done with you people.

You're implying that those who are throwing hissy fits about "master" are aware of bitkeeper documentation and their (wildly unchecked) emotional response to this matter is nuanced enough to take "provenance" of technical terms into account.

Do you even realize how ridiculous these nonsensical "arguments" sound?

This argument isn't just absurd but push it to its logical extreme, and you're inviting brutal thought policing and full-blown totalitarianism.

I stick with "master" in my Git repos partly because it's an excellent filter: it lets me steer well away from anyone who pitches a fit over the word.

Making "some people" happier isn't zero cost if the people in question are intolerant lunatics with ideas corrosive to the social fabric. It's one reason why the pendulum is swinging fiercely in the other direction.

Computer science would have progressed much further and faster if all of the time and effort that has been spent maintaining and nurturing Unix had been spent on a sounder operating system. We hope that one day Unix will be relingquished to the history books and museums of computer science as an interesting, albeit costly, footnote.

UHH is obviously sound but doesn't go far enough in criticizing the unix disaster.

No source "freeware", would you trust a binary from a random Russian developer to not contain/deliver a trojan?

Clojure is a niche language that (for realistic purposes) is still tied to a single platform, the JVM, which (Clojure, not the JVM) looks more dead with every passing year. It never became popular and it's been steadily losing users. It's also not as general purpose as Common Lisp (ie. not suited for system or lowlevel programming).

If you're going to learn a niche Lisp, you might as well learn Common Lisp or Scheme which have well-specified standards, have stood the test of time and will still be around for decades to come.

It is a gross exaggeration. There are far better modern text adventures out there written by one person (ie see the games of Andrew Plotkin).

There’s minimal if any interactivity in this “game” and I deleted it after 10 minutes of one screen with one line of text after another.

It is boring, there’s minimal interactivity. Quite a long way from the better text adventures out there.

Wild exaggeration. Wireshark is very limited in what it can do and has gained few if any new power-user features (especially when it comes to extensibility and programmability) in more than a decade of development. The macOS-specific functionality in this very post has been available for years.

Anyone who relies on non-trivial packet capture or processing workflows, ditches Wireshark (optionally reusing dissectors) and writes custom tooling (which is very easy to do).

I moved to Germany where my wife is from, and I currently split my time between a conservative US state where my kids are studying (I left California where I grew up when the liberal politics became too much to handle as I didn't want my kids to grow up in this sort of environment).

As someone who's lived in the UK for years but no longer there (I'm American and currently live in another EU country) it's sad but also quite funny watching the rapid deterioration across multiple domains that has taken place in the last 20 years. At times it seems that the people at the upper strata of politics have completely broken with contemporary reality and went off into a fantasy make-believe space, but don't realize it and keep acting as if that's not the case.

Read jonesforth if you want to learn how a Forth can be implemented and bootstrapped simply. Like other comments in this thread point out, this implementation isn’t really Forth and completely misses the point of Forth.

Flud vision IOL has been in trials for years and looks very promising. Unless you really need an IOL NOW, I'd wait a few years for accommodating IOLs to hit the market. They make monofocals/trifocals seem like medieval technology as they work at all distances, in the same manner as a natural lens (ie. continuous focus). For someone with myopia/presbyopia, they're an occular enhancement that can give better than 20/20 vision.

Did you bother to read the OP text where it’s made crystal clear that Bitcoin is neither secure nor decentralized?
