They're not quite the same. Those are push-notifications. Push/pull is orthogonal to what application you use for which purposes, especially if you have a desktop were you get such push notifications thrown at your peripheral vision no matter what application you're in.
I think a lot of people were expecting it to be open source.

I don't have access yet to try it to see how it compares in terms of speed and feel. That said, this information seems to put it more in the category of a reimplementation of Sublime Text with a different tech stack and a much bigger company backing it.
Why did anyone expect this to be open source? I don't understand this entitled attitude at all.

Cooking with gas is amazing for the environment.

Cooking with gas culturally adds to the art of food.

Unfortunately because of the massive anti-gas lobby groups it's hard to tell if it causes exposure to inappropriate levels of pollution.

One paper suggests it causes 2 times the amount of PM 2.5, which means nothing, you still have to deal with the PM 2.5 with or without gas, you'll need a good rangehood, and that's if this is your biggest expose to PM 2.5. Perhaps a general house air-filter is way more important.

And the only appropriate alternate to gas is induction, which makes this a rich persons discussion.

Pumping a gas into your house and then burning it intuitively seems like it would be bad, but it needs more proof before I'll give up the environment and cultural benefits.
Great questions - first, we also run on Amazon's infrastructure. Our systems automatically scale based on our service configuration, and we (and Amazon) automatically back up your data in a redundant fashion so that you don't have to worry about it.

I think that's our messaging strategy overall, in fact. We're really trying to make it very easy for users to not have to think quite so much about which database we're using on the backend, and more about ClearDB as a product, because that's really what matters in this case.

Obviously with a startup, questions like these are going to be asked, and it makes perfect sense to ask them. We're still working out how best to convey trustworthiness in the eyes of more knowledgeable customers such as yourself. If you have any suggestions in that regard, we would love to hear them - in fact, if you would like to take this offline, feel free to email me any and all feedback that you may have to cash@cleardb.com :-)
'Recall' was at the promising prototype quality level, with results more Cuil-like, centered around linguistic concepts detected during indexing, than Google-like. So for example the index was compact but there was no phrase-search, and even after receiving a page as a result to one query, a followup query with words on that page might return zero results if that exact set of words hadn't been concept-extracted.

It had nice graphs of concepts over time. But, its cleverness was probably overkill for such visualizations, except to the extent (IIRC) it disambiguated similar concepts from context. As the recent Google Books-based word frequency tool has shown, simple word and n-gram counts provide plemty of similar value.

Ultimately, though, as a bit of advanced, non-open-source Lisp code by a single expert, there was no one appropriate to productionize, maintain, and improve it after she joined Google.

I'm in the US, was raised as a Christian, and I'm talking about the mainstream view as reflected in the reaction of people whenever the possibility of preventing aging comes up. If you ask, "Do you think death is a good thing?", most people will say, "Of course not!", but when you ask about the possibility of extending life well into the second century, or living for millennia, suddenly objections are all you hear. In fiction, people who live for a very long time are mostly portrayed as being depressed about it -- "I wish I could die" is a common theme in vampire fiction, for example. People seem to want to live another year, but to think that living for another hundred years would be an awful fate.

There's a whole industry of people who try to convince people not to attempt to extend their life another year or another six months, but instead just die "with dignity", as though it's not dignified to live longer.

It's startling to me that you haven't seen at least the edges of this if you've been paying attention to "bioethics" (a too-self-congratulatory name, in my opinion) and similar debates.
Right now we run on top of Amazon EC2 Windows Instances.
I, too, have never found appreciating the upside to death a common or popular view. I'd be interested to know your social circle; it sounds much more interesting than mine.
A great response, in my opinion. Succinctly and effectively points out what was wrong with the NYT article, then tries to move on. Somewhat more of a sober tone than Scott's typical writing, but still with a dash of his typical wit:

> I don’t want to accuse the New York Times of lying about me, exactly, but if they were truthful, it was in the same way as that famous movie review which describes the Wizard of Oz as: “Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.”

I have only gained respect for Scott, and lost respect for the NYT, throughout this while saga. Hopefully this is the end of it.

Edit: in the spirit of moving on, here are two of my favorite articles since his return, one enlightening, one funny:

"WebMD, And The Tragedy Of Legible Expertise" -- https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/webmd-and-the-tragedy-...

"List of Fictional Cryptocurrencies Banned By The SEC" -- https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/list-of-fictional-cryp...
The other case is completely different. The police officer hid his identity more carefully and the journalist broke the law.

I prefer to live in a world where professionals act responsibly. He could have stopped writing as Scott Alexander and started writing with a new pseudonym. He just didn't want to rebuild his audience.
If we look at bitcoin for what it is (the technology and theory behind it), it hasn't lost any real value. If it did (e.g., if a major flaw were discovered in the technology to render it useless), then people wouldn't still be trading bit coin.

There are believers in the Bitcoin platform who are investing significant time and capital in improving it.

Then there are the traders, many of whom could care less about the underlying technology. They are in it for pure speculation, and care only about the flaws of the Bitcoin ecosystem because as long as it impacts their investment. This subpopulation is really not much different than the people who trade (and shill for) penny stocks.
With LuaJIT calling C from the ffi is fast (from jitted code), just the traditional Lua C interface is slow. Lua code can be faster as it can optimise through the boundary of course.
Sorry, tried to make that distinction by saying that the language has very few breaking changes left, and those that are left are expected to be minor, but the standard library is still in rapid iteration mode and is expected to break a lot.
We don't have any investors yet. We're bootstrapping for now.
I would call that article "speculation", not hard evidence.

This article makes the point that the large round number trades could simply be large round number trades:

A key statement: Slow, structured buys are designed to avoid, not cause, jumps in prices.

Note, I'm not defending Mt. Gox, just pushing back against a quick conclusion about what they did.
People have a habit of concentrating on the sizzle, not the steak.
An article makes the front page of HN that uses "epic FAIL" in a non-sarcastic way?!
If false memories can be planted in those who are accused, it can be done to witnesses too, so that they swear that the shriveled nonagenarian in the courtroom is the same person as the guard in that Nazi camp more than sixty years ago.

"but it's absolutely based on GNOME, the desktop stack. Just to clarify your clarification. :)"

GNOME Shell is not the same as the rest of the stack.

"Budgie can't even comfortably coexist with GNOME Shell on the same OS installation"

Yes, it absolutely can. You can use GDM and log in to both.

"If you change your settings in GNOME Shell with the Settings app, it will affect your Budgie session."

It entirely depends on what settings you change. For displays, that generates the mutter related configurations which are used by Budgie because Budgie uses Mutter. Networking is related to NetworkManager and not GNOME. Notifications is something we intentionally hook into for filtering apps in Raven but can trivially be changed, we even have our own set of exclusions. Search doesn't apply to Budgie, that is specific to GNOME Shell. Applications is primarily oriented towards Flatpak. Most of the screen locker functionality isn't related because we use slick-greeter+lightdm+budgie-screensaver (a fork of gnome-screensaver).

Sound can be independently managed, we do that via Raven for example (which ties into Gvc). Power settings leverage a mix of gnome-related settings and upower. Mouse settings are primarily related to libinput. I could go on.

"Maybe you shouldn't say it's "based off of GNOME Shell", but it's probably accurate to say that Budgie is an alternative Shell for GNOME."

Not really. There are many settings we expose which are not related to GNOME or GNOME Shell at all.

"I even remember Solus devs at the time saying they might never actually do version 11 because they had fixed and worked around some of the issues that they thought they wouldn't be able to in 10.4(?)."

Yes and then Ikey, the project founder, let and I took over in late Budgie 10.4 and my first release was Budgie 10.5. I went back and fixed issues that previously were implied to only be fixable in Budgie 11.

"So, is Budgie 11 actually going to happen?"

Yes however it is not a priority over other aspects of Solus development.
...and yet no SSL cert.

> What are your other options? Inflationary USD

Investors don't have to choose between investing in Bitcoin or parking their money in cash.

The stock market, real estate, commodities, and other assets don't lose their value if USD inflates.

The narrative that the only two choices are to buy Bitcoin or lose out to inflation is a fiction designed to convince people to buy more Bitcoin. Bitcoin isn't the only investment option.

> Inflationary USD or Yuan? Few rational actors would prefer to hold those.

Evidence suggests otherwise.
I agree that paying for things directly with bitcoin doesn't make sense. However, that doesn't mean bitcoin doesn't have a use case as a global settlement network and volatility isn't what's important, it's liquidity, which bitcoin has far more of then any other cryptocurrency.

For an example of this take a look at something like Strike Global using bitcoin's lightning network.

>They verify domain ownership.

They verify domain control, not ownership. Verifying ownership is a much harder problem, and one I doubt could be done in an automated fashion.
That is amazing to hear! That is exactly what we are hoping to help with. I would recommend starting with our teacher MK. She has a 30 minute class this coming Tuesday at 12pm PST. We have seen better onboarding experiences when starting with the live classes (and we rec at least 2 classes a week). I know 45 minutes sounds long, but it does go by quickly. The signature (longer) class also is really great for new community members because we give more of an explanation about what to expect at the beginning. If you are up for it, I would recommend starting with MK's 1pm PST class tomorrow (Friday)! Let me know how that sounds!
That video you linked is absolutely solid. Learned a tonne watching it. Never woulda thought 45 minutes about hair dryers would be so great. That dude is awesome.
The problem is of course that if you open up for the possibility that women and men are different then it could simply be that women are less interested in launching startups, rather than a plot to keep women down.
You can trade global depository receipts* of companies from all around the world.
Alright. Point taken.
QAnon, Neonazis, Donnie and his fellow grifters, &tc are not a “side of the political spectrum.” God help us if they are.

There are still plenty of conservatives around. If Twitter isn’t enough for you, you’ll find them also on the nation’s most popular broadcast channel, Fox.

And they can make their own damn platform. It’s a free country, and that includes the freedom of private business to tell them to go away.
Personal emissions are only responsible for a small portion of total emissions regardless of how rich the individual is. There are a small set of companies doing most of the damage. Attacking individuals for their emissions continues an oil company - driven personal responsibility frame that stops us from solving the problems.
Awesome list of engineering wisdoms!

This one probably the best:

36:Any run-of-the-mill engineer can design something which is elegant. A good engineer designs systems to be efficient. A great engineer designs them to be effective.

This statement reminded me of the popular quote on teacher, “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”
Four years too late, but fine, we'll take it. Next up: anybody else who aims for fascism, and all of the other two bit dictators on this planet. They have a right to free speech but they don't have an automatic right to a megaphone to amplify that speech on each and every platform.

Trump is more than welcome to give press conferences or to go on national TV.
Going after individuals is part of framing by the oil companies to make us blame each other, instead of targeting the small number of huge companies responsible for the majority of global emissions.
My sense for WhatsApp's dominance is peripheral contacts. I can convince close friends and family to move to Signal, but not distant friends, especially the large groups I'm in.

I'm pretty bearish on Signal for this reason. (even though I use it personally)

The playbook for unlocking adoption would be via a 'minority rule' where Signal users refuse to talk to people on WA, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Seems their "About" paragraph does have a way to bypass it?

Oh yes. Another thing to consider is the weight of the titanium that encases the RTG just so you don't fry the other electronics. Dealing with radiation in space is pretty difficult and radiation shielding in general is still a pretty complex problem. On Earth we pretty much solve it my mass (more mass == more shielding) but we don't have the luxury with space applications. There's a lot of advanced composites there and layered material. It is a really fascinating subject. There's also people trying to harvest some of this energy into usable electricity. I worked on one of these devices (focusing on betavoltaics) and it isn't going to power your house, but you can power things like a heartbeat signal for your craft (and of course use it to trickle charge batteries on long missions).
I absolutely reject the 'both sides' characterization of American politics and so I will post the same reply I made to another user to attempt to clarify what I meant above. Because I absolutely, 100%, do not intend to equivocate the rioters with the George Floyd protestors and I am easy enough to dox that should be real-life verifiable (one reason I feel obliged to clarify my point here, so I remain on the right side of history).

A user noted there is a 'similar archive' for both events. Another user noted both groups delete self-incriminating evidence. The user I replied to fired off a response I thought would have been appropriate if someone in the thread had said something like "antifa rioters are just as bad" or "just as much incriminating evidence was probably deleted after the George Floyd protests." I think a key thing is I didn't read "similar archive" to mean "an archive of illegal activity by non-police", I took it to mean "an archive of all the stuff that happened that people would want to delete." In the case of the George Floyd protests, often police brutality deleted by PDs, their supporters, etc.

I'm not intending some 'both sides' equivocation here. I'm saying I didn't see the people I replied to further up the thread as making that equivocation, I saw them as saying: People who record themselves doing something incriminating will probably delete it after, both groups contain people. My goal was to say: hey, take a beat. We don't need a flamewar over this yet. Reading now, I can see how someone could read that to mean I am sympathetic to the notion that the BLM protests or George Floyd protests included groups of criminals or people behaving criminally in a way that is comparable to yesterday's events, so let me make it clear in bold point type that I do NOT.

It is possible those users did intend to draw that equivocation, which I think would be completely wrong of them. I am not remotely attempting to defend the actions of the rioters yesterday or to in any way characterize the George Floyd protests or BLM protests at large as remotely comparable or equivocal to the riots yesterday. I am not parroting a 'both sides' talking point.

I am reiterating this a lot, because I got a lot of hatemail for this comment. The only thing I am saying is: Most human beings who record themselves doing something they afterwards find dumb or incriminating will be likely to delete it. A user pointing out that two different political factions contain human beings subject to common human behaviors does not necessarily justify a political flamewar. I understand why that was read differently by some users, so in hindsight I should have just downvoted the flamebait and moved on as usual.

"I've found a historical heuristic that might apply here."

Maybe by checks conducted by real professionals and not with the aim to have it as cheaply as possible and thus paying minimum wages to badly trained "agents" on a power trip?

Maybe in a way where you're not blackmailed into going through a machine, which effects are very unproven and in whoms installation the former director of the TSA has a financial interest? (http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2010/0...) ?

Just a few bullet points for thought.
Yeah, and an increasingly male population, a huge disparity in actual GDP, and the general maturity level of the country rated somewhere around "early teenager" says that China isn't going to take over anytime soon.

China still _acts_ like a 19th or 20th century power. It's still pre-occupied with its "place" on the world stage, so sensitive to insult because it wants so hard to be important.

Sure, that could grow into something, but it ain't there now.

Interesting that I always preferred LPs because of the random access they afforded. When I really got into music in late 70s I could deep dive my parents vast collection by moving the tone arm to different tracks and quickly assess if I was interested in hearing more.

Chose Vue3 on whim for a weekend project last week. I was well into the first couple pages until I realized that some of the documentation seemed to have a completely different approach.

Then I realized the difference between the Options API and Composition API. That an pairing it with Typescript made things really unecessarily hard for learning. All the TS documentation assumed you already mastered the old and new APIs.

Really glad they have the Options/Composition toggle in their new docs now. Looks like I chose exactly the wrong time to look into it.
Yep. I recently got stung by a bee, and a day later, my finger had swollen up, then the next day my hand started to swell. I knew it wasn't an allergic reaction because of the speed, but went to the doc and got antibiotics. I do wonder how it would have played out were they not available, the swelling had become pretty uncomfortable, and seemed to be spreading pretty persistently!
Eh, they were willing to pull out of China.

And there's plenty of other countries that would be eager to get money out of Google if Australia shows a method that works.

Of course, China didn't fold when Google pulled out so it's questionable whether they consider that a winning strategy or not.
I certainly think they could withdraw Google Search, at least temporarily. Otherwise it sets a really bad precedent for other countries to do the same and start charging a Google tax. If however they remove search from Australia, other countries would be a lot more conscious before implementing something similar.

Nobody thought they would remove Google News in Spain back in 2014, but they certainly did. Sure it's not the same scale and all, but if my memory serves me right it was kinda unthinkable back then.

"It's a small step but Google have been profiting from "borrowed" content for the best part of a decade."

It's not. Website, cafe owners, etc. literally put their content out there to be discoverable. Otherwise they'd just put a /robots.txt or not make a website at all! What is stopping the new sites to add a blocking `/robots.txt` if they don't want to be listed? The problem is that Google is massively profitable and everyone wants a piece of the cake.

(I'm talking about normal Google or Maps search, the snippet/previews where they cannibalize the website's content is a different topic and I'd agree with you there)
