41,793,813 | comment | giantg2 | 2024-10-09T23:12:54 | null | Depends on what you're developing and what you want. I got a mid-level AMD based Acer. I don't even remember the specs but something like 6-8 cores and 16-32GB RAM, and probably on yhe lower end of that range. After removing the bloatware, it works just fine. It cost about $450 from ANTonline. I do smaller personal projects on it, with the most resource intensive being some Android dev with emulation, or maybe some "small" big data analysis. If you were running multiple large servers for a single project and running performance tests, then I'd probably get something beefier. Anything graphics intensive would benefit from a discrete graphics card. At that point, you might be better off setting up a desktop or workstation and just remoting in from a cheap refurbished thinkpad. | null | null | 41,792,570 | 41,792,570 | null | null | null | null |

Environment is the same as all other devices in a DC.<p>Most folks replace drives when they die (reads/writes stall or return garbage), or when the warranty runs out. Some will pay for a warranty exception, and some will just use the drive outside of warranty. Depending on how you use the drive, what environment it's in, etc changes how much you can push things.<p>I'd say anywhere from 4-8 years, depending on how it's used. In many cases it can be cheaper to have a worse environment for your fleet (thus using less power on hvac) and replace devices more frequently. | null | null | 41,793,355 | 41,792,500 | null | [

41,793,833 | comment | okanat | 2024-10-09T23:15:11 | null | Nope it isn't. You just aren't experienced in system programming. Working with hardware is unsafe since it has state that one cannot completely encapsulate in a single program. The entire specific design of a chip isn't available to programmer; only the machine code is. We usually don't know how a processor decides to cache things or switch to kernel permission level. Usually this isn't even the level we're at, OSes have private internals that change behind the programs and they are not accessible from user space. Pressing Ctrl+C to interrupt changes so many things in memory, it would be outright impossible to write programs that handle every single thing.<p>The fundamental / syntactic promise of Rust is providing mechanisms to handle and encapsulate unsafety such that it is possible to construct a set of libraries that handle the unsafety in designated places. Therefore the rest of the program can be mathematically proven to be safe. Only the unsafe parts can be unsafe.<p>Coming from Java or Go or Js or Python angle wouldn't be the same. Those languages don't come with mechanisms to let you to make system calls directly or handle the precise memory structure of the data which is necessary when one is communicating with hardware or the OS or just wants to have an acceptable amount of performance.<p>In C++, the compiler can literally remove your code if you sum or multiply integers wrong or assume the char is signed/unsigned. There is no designated syntax that limits the places possible memory overflow error happen. The design of the language is such that some most trivial oversight can break your program silently and significantly. It is too broad so it is not possible to create a safe and mathematically proven and performant subset with the C and C++ syntax. It is possible with Rust. It is like the difference of chips that didn't have a hardware mechanism to switch between user and kernel mode so everything was simply "all programs should behave well and no writes to other programs' memory pinky promise".<p>Rust doesn't leave this just as a possibility. Its standard library is mostly safe and one can already write completely safe and useful utilities with the standard library. The purpose of the standard library is provide you ways to avoid unsafe as much as possible.<p>Of course more hardware access or extremely efficient implementations would require unsafe. However again, only the unsafe parts can cause safety bugs. They are much easier to find and debug compared to C++. People write libraries for encapsulating unsafe so there are even less places that use unsafe. If people are out of their C++ habit, reaching for the big unsafe stick way too often, then they are using Rust wrong.<p>Whatever you do, there will be always a need for people and software that enables a certain hardware mode, multiply matrices fast, allocates a part of display for rendering a window etc. We can encapsulate the critical parts of those operations with unsafe and the rest of the business logic can be safe. | null | null | 41,793,388 | 41,791,773 | null | [

Office is used by almost every org in the world. Azure locked in via clickops IT staff always wanting to pick it; you have to make a big case to use GCP or AWS in a lot of companies vs "just" using Azure.<p>Google's search advantage could be taken away with another website that's better. There's no installed base or corporate lockin to contend with. Same with email. Same with maps. While Google uses data from each of these services to better target ads at you, the services are not very tied into each other, and you could easily grab one of those services away from Google if you just provided a better standalone service.<p>To me, that's not a good case for breaking up Google. | null | null | 41,793,543 | 41,784,287 | null | [

My gut feel is the major failure modes would be electrolytic capacitor failure, bearings sticking as the lubrication ages, and obseleting of the interfaces. I wonder how hard it'd be to find hardware that'd read my Mac SCSI hard drives from 25 years ago? | null | null | 41,793,355 | 41,792,500 | null | [

You can just eat snails every day, everyone else is eating snails every day???? Why are you not eating snails?? It is the nr 1 most sold food! Don't you want snails to be the nr 1 food?<p>Then the restaurant switches to the cheapest worse possible snails because people will order it anyway because other people will order it.<p>Is this a display of good taste?<p>I hate apple but I buy iphone because they are good enough for what I need. I might get an android phone some day. They are good enough too.<p>I did actually look.<p>With elections no one is looking. People have no idea. Non of them! There is not one journalist who knows anything.<p>For each million voters one or two have watched a single video from a candidate other than the top 2. A video by a 5 year old on tiktok gets more attention online than the entire list of election programs.<p>I could see logic in getting advice from an expert on something or from your mum but if they know absolutely nothing about the topic?!?!<p>The voter is therefore brainwashed into irrelevance, she won't influence elections in any way. | null | null | 41,792,905 | 41,792,780 | null | [

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-machine" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-machine</a>
All the old Infocom games were ported to this Engine and its existence is why they're so wonderfully well preserved nowadays and can be played in a really playable form with Frotz<p>Also in the Adventure Game space:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCUMM" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCUMM</a><p>The oriignal MUD was an engine, and there are hundreds of derivatives of MUD that are also engines, I recommend Richard Bartle's book for a really good history of it, I think it's free online.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-user_dungeon#Wider_access_and_early_derivatives" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-user_dungeon#Wider_acces...</a><p><a href="https://mud.co.uk/richard/DesigningVirtualWorlds.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://mud.co.uk/richard/DesigningVirtualWorlds.pdf</a><p>Bartle's own words:<p>> MUD was programmed in MACRO-10 assembler on a
DecSystem-10 mainframe at Essex University, England, in the
fall of 1978. Its author was a talented Computer Science
undergraduate, Roy Trubshaw. Version I was a simple test
program to establish the basic principles by which a shared
world could be maintained. When it worked, Roy immediately
started on version II, a text-based virtual world that would be instantly recognizable as such even today. It was also written in MACRO-10, a decision that led to its becoming increasingly unwieldy as more and more features were added. Because of this, in the fall of 1979 Roy made the decision to begin work on version III of the game. He split it in two: The game engine was written in BCPL (the fore-runner of C); the game world was written in a language of his own devising, MUDDL (Multi-User Dungeon Definition Language). The idea was that multiple worlds could be constructed in UDDL but would run on the same, unmodified engine (which was effectively an interpreter).<p>Not only is it clearly the same content generation process as modern engines, he even called it an engine. (this book is from 2005 IIRC but I think it's mostly a moot point what they're named)<p>PLATO:
> There had been graphical virtual worlds before.
The seminal PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic
Teaching Operations) system went live at the University of
Illinois way back in 1961, and many games were written to take
advantage of both its network connectivity and graphics-
capable plasma display units. Some of these laid down principles
that would greatly influence the development of later computer
games; some came close to being virtual worlds; some actually
were virtual worlds.
Orthanc, by Paul Resch, Larry Kemp, and Eric Hagstrom, was an
overhead-view graphical game that, although not implementing
a shared world, nevertheless allowed communication between
individual players. It was written as early as 1973. Jim
Schwaiger’s 1977 game Oubliette (inspired by Dungeons &
Dragons and Chuck Miller’s earlier multiplayer game, Mines of
Moria) had a first-person point of view and used line graphics to
render the scene ahead. It had persistent characters, but was
not a persistent world. Also, the interaction it allowed between
characters was very limited; it was almost there, but not quite.
In late 1979, the first ever fully-functional graphical virtual
world was released: Avatar. Written by a group of students to
out-do Oubliette, it was to become the most successful PLATO
game ever—it accounted for 6% of all the hours spent on the
system between September 1978 and May 198517. Again using a
Fantasy setting, it introduced the concept of spawning to
repopulate areas automatically after players killed all the
monsters. | null | null | 41,792,930 | 41,779,519 | null | [

Although I never read it (I don't understand it) I would like it to get preserved. All universities should provide digital copies of their students bachelor's and masters thesis as well as PhDs.

41,793,897 | comment | le-mark | 2024-10-09T23:23:19 | null | Very odd that this author seems to be conflating Unicode with fonts? I assumed since android is “jvm by another name” it would be utf-16 internally, just like the jvm. Encoding and decoding utf-8 is no problem. But this author is lamenting the incomplete fonts available in google project noto. | null | null | 41,765,009 | 41,765,009 | null | [

41,793,898 | comment | drogus | 2024-10-09T23:23:20 | null | It's funny when people mention Go as the gold standard of not adding features to the language and Rust as ever-changing when Rust hasn't introduced any major changes in at least 3-4 years and Go introduced a major paradigm shift in how people structure their code (generics).<p>Before you start replying with "Rust introduced X" - ask yourself - is X extending an existing feature slightly or does it introduce an entirely new concept? | null | null | 41,791,773 | 41,791,773 | null | [

Referring to the origination of the formal index, "The restaurants eventually became a key feature on a color-coded map that his team provided to help the public and local officials identify where storm damage was most severe."<p>It's not FEMA's job to develop knowledge about coming storms anyways.
