Unfortunately that's now how humanity builds stuff. It's rarely the case that "we all decide that we have this very important thing to do for humanity" and focus on doing just that. More often the benefits for humanity f

I'm not sure what you're actually suggesting. Are you saying that under this scenario of N such machines in series the MWI would make different predictions that just solving the Schrodinger equation?

Well. They're not discernible states if they are in another world. That's the very definition of "another world". From an outside viewer that hasn't been entangled with you, no branching happens and they see the ove

Occam's razor cuts both ways :-) Some people when they hear that MWI implies that there are many worlds and that the wave function branches they think that implies that MWI is "adding" something so Occam's razor should w

Some pipelined CPUs have retained compatibility with self-modifying code and detect when you overwrite an instruction that is on the pipeline and flush it. X86 has that machinery although I'm not sure if they dropped it eventually on t

I'm happy with bzlmod. What I hate about it is that not every bazel ruleset I use has yet been ported to it. But it's getting there. For example in my monorepo I'm only missing rule_distroless and I migrated all my deps to bz

Well if you can call a syscall you don't need a named file. You can call execfd. One case where I need an executable named temp file is when I need to pass that named file to another process which in turn will call that file (so I don&

The broader meaning of propaganda then just means "spreading ideas to further a cause". If that's true then it would be a neutral word. But "propaganda" is not a neutral word in practice. It implies something intent

What's the main problem you see with /dev/fd? It even works when you write a temp script and execute it in /dev/fd/... However since you can't control the file name in that case you cannot control argv[0]

"Big Bang" is an evocative name of a theory that matches observation to a high accuracy The problem with "evocative" names is that they may evoke things that are not in the theory. For example, the big bang wasn't a

partitioning only prunes the files you need to be looked at *if* the predicate includes the column you're partitioning on. For example, let's imagine you're partitioning on "time" and "region" and the high

Define "same benefits". Bloom filters allow you to prune the number of files you even have to look at, which matters a lot when there is a coat associated with scanning the files. Partitioning the data can be advantageous both for

I find it more fascinating why the order was retained so faithfully (modulo minor drifts that accrued over time).

Yes the evolution is attested via intermediate "old Cyrillic" forms that still retain a shadow of glagolitic aesthetics but is likely spawned directly from Greek alphabet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril

yeah, fair enough. I don't think there one "right way" of looking at all this. I think it's important to keep all those things in mind at the same time, including what you're saying about standards and how they chan

Well it was cosmopolitan because it conquered many people in an area that was cosmopolitan from the start (in particular Constantinople) and as long as they didn't fight back for their independence they were tolerated. That's not

I always trip on the ability of English has to turn nouns into verbs so after my first parse of the sentence I thought "w.t.f does the verb to planimeter mean?". Then I realized that "can" is not a verb here....
