i like how even if i can parse most of it it does sound like technically accurate technobabble, could be of inspiration for a tv show :D

who's talking about owning a zettaflop on earth? The second part of sustainable growth is growth after all

Always wondered if it is possible/useful to model multi core CPU caches as CISC cores where the complex instructions are all the operations you can do with the L1 within the time frame of an L2 access

Took me a while to recognize it’s satire because I’ve seen some of these proposed unironically in the wild :,)

wondering why https://crystal-lang.org/ hasn't been mentioned in the comments

Good post, for what is worth Java is slowly and painfully correcting course with features like records and project Valhalla. As with the other language improvements though we will have to live with the tech debt for decades to come…

My point was that maybe the improved mechanical performance would help with their own weight. I concede that a more expensive, heavier overhead line that could hang for longer distances does not sound good unless costs are dominated by tower construction

would this be useful for better power lines? assuming electrical conductivity is about the same, as implied by the article

That's why Typescript/Python optional typing hit the best balance for me. Coding in duck-typed language is generally fine when your test suite is as fast and frequent as a type checker. That also explains why TDD is more popular in say Ruby or Python vs. Java. Speaking of Java, the problem with types is when you try to reify every single problem you encounter in your codebase. By the way, python has structured types since 3.8, and I hope they get more popular in Python code: https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Protoco...

Cool to see how swift wire payments works in practice, but using JS floating point numbers for money amounts is a disaster waiting to happen

would this be doable with overlayFS using a tmpfs to prepare a snapshot?

That does not sound reasonable, why would the shim ever need to be signed with the same key? why can't a system supporting App Archive make an exception for the shim? if it can't for hardware reason, why can't they ask key owner to sign the shim app? That would degrade security but is not as bad as requiring to give away the private key.

where is the original paper? how did they avoid running into https://xkcd.com/882/ ?

I wonder what would happen with a molecule with this shape, what would happen to a crystal with this configuration?

The article mentions airplanes waiting on the ground, but I do wonder what happens during flight. I suppose the engines create plenty of heat after all.

I find that most lectures or podcasts that have calm voices do indeed help me sleep I can suggest https://youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g , to daydream about space and the far future before falling asleep

I have another phrase i like to search for, "pedagogical introduction", e.g: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=peda...

https://arxiv.org/search/?query=pedagogical+introduction&sea...

Many results are still to advanced but still this gives me insight into a lot of new topics.

That looks interesting, now I wonder how dangerous/polluting a tank leak can be for ammonia compared to diesel and hydrogen
