I believe the opposite to that era is the "Dead-ball era" over a hundred years ago. > During the dead-ball era, baseball was much more of a strategy-driven game, using a style of play now known as small ball or inside baseball.

I'm picturing a caddy standing off to the side of the batter with a bag full of bats, sizing up the last pitch and say "May I suggest the pine with the conical twist sir?"

This is much bigger news than I think people realise. With the push for more secure systems programming language, having a formal model will enable much more powerful tooling and theorem proving that will help spot, model, or identify vulne

This does not prevent gentrification or changing the vibe of the neighbourhood. One can see that as a positive or a negative, just wanted to call that out.

I use an Elgato Wave XLR $200 so that I can upgrade my microphone separately; I'm not a fan of hybrid/integrated devices. I use it with an Audio-Technica AT2035 $200 and a Elgato Low-Profile Microphone Arm $100.

The US was never our friend. More like an abusive older sibling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_s... Unfortunately we are dependent on them. Hopefully, this will cause us to start weening ou

India keeps buying Russian oil unapologetically and hasn't done anything at all to support Ukraine.

I think it is fair to point out. George Bush helped erode the rules based order with the Iraq war. The US has always refused to accept anything that would limit exercising it's power.

I think fair can be refined to a middle class lifestyle where after working for 30 years you can have your house paid odd and enjoy the final third of your life in retirement having healthcare coverage the whole time. While nailing down all

The problem was that the people that benefitted most from free trade never do the work to ensure that a fair share of the profits went to the working class who were now being displaced. If you can no longer get lifelong middleclass job with

The question is will companies onshore enough jobs in those places for the populations effected by this. I don’t think those destinations will have trouble making up the demand, and it will still bu a political win for Trump.

Which resulted in the notorious release of Outpost [1]. I think owners of that would have happily accepted a large series of post release patches over that. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outpost_(1994_video_game)#Re

Arguably then only High-level Assembly [1] meets the criteria. Or perhaps micro-coding. That said with caches, branch predictors, register renaming, op-cracking, reordering, it's hard to say that assembly language is even low-level any

Can you tell us what the vast difference was that made you give up programming for it? I've only assembled SPARC in college, so I have no basis of comparison.

Because climate change will somehow not effect the poor? 1) we need hire energy prices to match the externalities 2) we need subsidies to make the poor more efficient at using the power they can afford. I heard in England they don't ha

How? You still have process and file system isolation. It’s just another protocol. We talk to containers overs HTTP all the time.

This is a case where the original X11 client server model would make perfect sense.

Yeah, is this a resignation? I'm guessing so from the context, but it's not that clear.

Good to see Linus step up and publicly support Rust again. I was worried the drama might make he retreat and abandon the experiment.

This is why I think it's so crucial to move Rust into the Linux kernel. It's not about new-school-cool vs old heads. It's not about getting off someone's lawn, it's about solving a really basic but important problem

Yeah, I mean I don't think these places would be happy if all the tourists left either. They want tourists, but on their terms. Fair enough. But it reminds me of my mom's florist friend that complains that everyone wants flowers a

For reference GlobalFoundries (who AMD left because they weren't willing to adopt EUV which is needed for cutting edge geometries) goes up to 12nm, so that means there is still room for Pis to improve before hitting the expensive stuff

I feel like measuring things in characters is not meaningful, but only in tokens. Replacing "SELECT" with "SEL" would not improve SQL in the slightest.

He needs really to be removed from the process. He may be useful for now but for long term he is an impediment. C is the 1970’s. Sure it’s proven itself… but so had Assembly when Unix was invented.

But did it provide a gain in power and soundness? There issues with the 2.x system.
