when I'm working as an architect, my job is to put myself out of a job by teaching everyone to be an architect - for themselves and for each other. that admixture of high and low level concerns breeds really effective…
the internet corporations for names and numbers was established specifically to coordinate the for profit registrar model. but sure, an organization like that with a charter to simply manage the namespace directly.
angle grinders run really fast, and even those with speed control just lower total power, not increase torque. it would have made more sense to just mount the motor and the planetary, but I think the planetary is…
I certainly wasn't nominating the US government. something more like international NGO. the us can do whatever it wants with the .us root, just like all the other ISO country code roots.
this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but this was the inevitable result of changing a function with trivial cost and broad social utility (name registration) from a public service to a commercial one. at the time…
No one thinks that there non-zero corruption in the Democratic Party. but we're at point where things like environmental policy, foreign relations, military alliances, tariffs, wars, and a whole bunch of actually…
if you didn't have a multi-user operating system running on every node that basically demands this, because of its complexity and fragility, and you had the necessary introspection to look at memory usage and open…
not always. Asci-red had a distributed version of OSF/1. this wasn't a great design because it was built on distributed shared memory, so it had fault tolerance and performance problems. the MTA had a shared memory…
you crossed a really big gap moving from 'communicate' to 'creating policy'. I certainly do not trust Google in particular to write any policies, given that their whole business model is to attempt to sit at the…
I lived in that world, sunos, solaris, unicos, hpux, aix, irix, ultrix. I always found it preferable to have Os and even compiler specific includes for a whatever definitions needs to be different. and I certainly…
and in what sense is it doing that at all? unlike the US, the signatories arent parachuting into other sovereign countries to effect their laws. they are enforcing their laws within their own borders. for some reason…
more importantly those abstractions were designed to try to make it easier to reason about what was going on for the author, build additional internal abstractions and to allow a reader to follow along and gain an…
this process of giving out your 'secrets' (ccn, exp, ccv, zip) to tens of people a day with no other real authentication is inexcusably insecure. and instead of trying to get on top of the problem for real (like an…
For me QA is tasked with making sure that the product functions as intended. that means coming up with clever test suites to explore the spaces that the developers didn't think to, making sure the coverage for…
just from first principles its really not. given its propensity to just make shit up and cheat, ai is really useful when there is some kind of formal or exhaustive checking as a wall for it to throw crap at. so if you…
in that its lovely and highly functional? sure. what disturbs me is that the lit map is wrapped around this large empty room. but the operator would get the same angular view if the whole thing was just somewhat smaller…
I think it's a kind of like both? it runs as its own guest, but instead of implementing syscalls that are 1:1 with linux, it looks like linux runs as a library, and uses a different more pared down set to take a normal…
having looked at the briefly, is really a kernel that's meant to take system calls. I think the unikernel terminology is kinda broken. it's explicitly pared down to talk to a hypervisor rather than supporting a lot of…
I've done animations at the Tcl layer before with composition of Tk objects. for little visualizations its just fine, certainly not AAA
every time I get to use lisp syntax I feel a sense of relaxation, as if the background stress of thinking about precedence and the meaning of all these magic sigils and control flow constructs just melts away and I can…
I have that same Bosch. for me its just for cutting down ply and making crates and janky stuff, but it has very little torque, tends to cut ragged (slow I guess?) and a yes a shallow cut. a better saw would help a lot…
Im not saying arrival order isn't a key consequence of concurrency in many cases, it's just not the same as concurrency itself. I guess the point for me is that when we're programming or when we're using models, we…
I don't like the essential characteristic of concurrency being nondeterminism. its really that multiple processes are running concurrently. if we don't have serializing operations, we have arbitrary execution order. but…
the sandwich shop in dogpatch has been closed for years. their building was remodeled for startups (kind of a meh patchwork of steel panels, some corten and some not), and they tried to move over a couple blocks, but…
no, its not really learned helplessness, and I don't know the industry that well, but I move a certain amount of scrap and there's methheads all over the neighborhood where I work. once they started being more careful…
