There is no objectively correct answer for this (yes or no).

It's up to the use case. What do you want to accomplish? What users do you care about or not?

Should a website use images? Sprites? Font icons? Tables or CSS positioning? Should a site have a dedicated mobile version? Should your site have an app? A twitter account? Should your site use flexible layouts? Should your site use any features unique to one browser? And so on. The only answers are opinions.
France has 3.5 million with an even smaller population of 66 million so one out of twenty. Even though it's not very stable from a financial perspective.

After that you just can't move somewhere that doesn't have the same timing on school years (e.g. Australia).
I can't tell you how reassuring this is for me, and probably others.
Individual actors are individual units of replication. What one actor is writing is concurrent to what another is doing.

Read/write calls to an actor are sequential. I'm quite sure this is how other KV stores like Riak do as well. They have X units per server and those process requests sequentially. Their actual concurrency is basically how many units per server are running. They may interleave reads/writes per node or they may not.

ActorDB does not allow reads while a write is in progress. It is quite possible we will optimize this part in the future as it is quite doable.
My family's bill has gone down to around $35/mo.

Speedtest gives me around 50/10.
Experienced people seem fast at solving problems because they have seen similar solutions before. Not necessarily because they have a faster mind.

It's a mistake to assume that because someone is better than you at something, you are less intelligent. It simply doesn't follow, and as the OP is experiencing - leads to low self esteem.

Not all cultures are unhelpful and competitive. Take it for what it is - a tough culture rather than a group of unpleasant individuals.

You have little to lose by assuming that you are correct in your belief that you can learn and by being respectful but persistent in recruiting your colleagues to help with that.

If Twitter already bought a competitor, why would they make a relationship with Meerkat?
Woah, I can't tell if that was a brilliant troll or you honestly believe these things -- either way +1 hilarious.

Intel CEO was seen in Hsinchu last year. There could've been only one company for him to visit there.
Which is their plan, as many people believe.

They want to drive the few competitors they have out of business quickly before that happens.

Hence them accelerating node transitions in spite of not being able to recover as much RnD money as they can.

Only really high margin products contend for <14nm node capacity, and nothing else.

For as long as they maintain such high pace, and wide lead over competition, competitors get nothing, while still having to spend the same astronomical sums on fab retooling.
All dead patients were tested and they were positive. The Italian ISS is reporting that those patients went full ICU with the most common symptoms associated with Covid-19, notably respiratory failure, then "danno renale acuto", "danno miocardico acuto" and "dovrainfezione", which I'm not going to translate for you, and this is happening regardless of their pre-existing conditions. There's no easy assumption except yours. Stop blaming italian professionals and I invite you to visit our government websites for the details, for which I'm not going to provide a link for you. Also, there is no guessing game as to who is affected by the virus. Again, you need not to mix your prejudice against Italians with the emergency we are having.
"An empirical comparison of c, c++, java, perl, python, rexx and tcl"

Lutz Prechelt

IEEE Computer 33 (10), 23-29, 2000

80 implementations of the same set of requirements, created by 74 different programmers in various languages, are compared for several properties, such as run time, memory consumption, source text length, comment density, program structure, reliability, and the amount of effort required for writing them. The results indicate that, for the given programming problem,“scripting languages”(Perl, Python, Rexx, Tcl) are more productive than conventional languages. In terms of run time and memory consumption, they often turn out better than Java and not much worse than C or C++. In general, the differences between languages tend to be smaller than the typical differences due to different programmers within the same language.
> So, expand your horizons: look at the construction industry, the dentist industry, the fishing industry, the graveyard management industry, the gym pool management industry (these are not made up, by the way).

> But let’s reiterate the big advantage you get from considering building a product in an industry outside of yours (software development): It’s just now you’re going to be operating in an industry which has software problems and isn’t particularly optimized to solve them.

Be careful about this. There is money to be made in those industries, and they might not have as much competition as software for software companies do.

But do you really want to be in those industries? Would you enjoy going to industry-specific conferences and mingling with those folks? If your business gets even a modicum of success, you will be working on it for several years to come.

Market/founder fit is something that isn't talked enough: who you choose to serve matters. What good is your business if you feel trapped inside it?

So the next time you set out to build a business, do yourself a favor and think about this from the beginning.

I've had a pair of Tom Bihn's bags for 10+ years now, and they're still going strong.

The shoulder pad on the little messenger bag is going, but that's a wear item, and the rest of the bag is totally solid. The backpack is still as good as when I got it.
"Hey guys, thanks for working on this thing that's really useful during this unexpected pandemic, great you were working on that while nobody else was paying any attention. We're just going to steal it now and give it away for free, kthxbye."
You can use Laravel just for the basic wiring, integrated tooling, SQL query builder, auth, sessions, and HTTP routing. It really gets out of the way if you need to avoid features you don't like. All of the stuff I listed above are a PITA in plain PHP.
I'm surprised on how well it handled the roll at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZORzfJ1sog&t=106s . It's like it opted to immediately quit stabilizing for a second instead of coming up with some wired results.
A fun glass carboy story. I had just finished an hour-long boil of around 5 gallons of beer wort and then poured it into my carboy. I then needed to cool it down to a safe temperature for the yeast (~70˚) as quickly as possible to prevent infection. It was the middle of a western NY winter and so I though of the obvious solution which was to set the whole thing in a snow bank. Perhaps you can see where this is going.

As soon as I set this 5-gallon glass container of near-boiling liquid in the snow bank I realized my error because of the loud, CRACK sound. I lifted it up by the neck, but only the top half came away and I was left holding a comically large broken-bottle shiv. My roommates at the time all came out to properly laugh at me and I resolved to cool my wort before putting it in the fermentation vessel from then on. And also to stick with plastic fermentation vessels!
I'm not invested in crypto or really at all interested in it. That said, my mentor seems pretty excited about it and is pretty heavily invested as of the past few months. I advised him to do something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir's_Secret_Sharing and distribute it across a wide number of storage mechanisms, physical, digital, and custodial. For instance, in google drive, in drop box, in a bank safety deposit box, engraved in a gold bar buried in your yard, in your house safe, etc.

Why anyone with a significant amount of crypto assets isn't going to insane extremes in terms of secrecy and durability is beyond me.
There are "local bitcoin trading" groups that do exactly this - convert bitcoin to cash at a discount. But obviously you can't do this for billions of dollars and you expose yourself to personal monitoring and capture.
It never ceases to amaze me how incompetent some high profile criminals are. Encrypting a file is simply too difficult apparently. The entire purpose of crypto is that the exclusive holder of a private key cannot have funds seized. A 15 year old kid probably has better opsec with their crypto wallets than these people. Astonishing really.
I expect that this is akin to wondering why anyone would want to go to a concert and lay on their camera's flash for two hours to create that annoying "continuous strobe" effect. :)

I really think the Open Source community (at least this side of it) is starting to miss the point. "Free," to me, does not mean paying some foundation with personal information so I can get a paper on how not to get legally creamed by using "free" software. Free is not needing to hire a lawyer to be a programmer. Free is openly sharing information, not using it to coerce people into giving you personal information.
I don't want to politicize this argument, especially so since I am not a U.S. citizen, but my perception is that if Bush had tried to acquire such powers, people would have gotten hysterical. Obama, being a "liberal" can get away with more.
Awesome! I've been waiting for one of these since I got to LA.
>Maybe it's just a product of irrational fear and ignorance

Hardly.

One - liability. Your insurance may prevent you from allowing dogs. Or may up your premiums.

Two - risk. Is there a risk letting a pet in? Yea. The risk it will bite, be loud, shit/piss on the floor, or annoy other customers or carry disease. Many businesses feel this is an unnecessary risk with not much benefit.

Very few people are irrationally fearful of animals. Businesses are just risk adverse. Theres can be a lot of cost and not much benefit.

>But absent such matters, and other problems like obvious disturbing behavior

People don't bother training their dogs or using common sense and curiosity. If they did this wouldn't be an issue, dogs could just come and go in appropriate places. Since people won't do that we have the majority of businesses who don't care to have them on the premises.

Ever heard of the expression "this is why we can't have nice things?"

But you are 100% free to go open up your own non food establishment and invite all the animals you want in.
> I didn't read the entire thing.

It has nothing to do with time travel, if you didn't care to read the article, why care to comment.

Also you can probably only know the future of different, possible similar timelines. Whatever changes you make in those other timelines will not affect your own. You can alter their future but not your own, otherwise you can alter causality. I don't know if altering causality makes any sense.
It makes me feel kind of silly but in these troubled times I can't help but think about how when comets arrived in the past, they were considered harbingers of doom.

When I really start spiraling, I wonder if I should learn how to bake unleavened bread before passover! Just incase!

On a brighter note. (pun intended!) With the reduction of pollution due to the crisis, maybe this comet will be easier to see?
Sure this might be neat, but a dolphinoplasty is what people in the world really need to feel whole.
I'm not a physicist, but my understanding is that batteries do not use the electric field at all to store charge, unlike a capacitor. Batteries use chemical reactions to move electrons, not static electric charge.

Further, note that Starlink’s current batch of satellites don’t have laser links, so data can’t hop from satellite to satellite. It’s up and then back down immediately. We’ll have to wait for v2 or v3.
I am not sure that >"mandate giving service workers more paid sick days and actually enforce the laws against making them come in while sick" ,

is an alternative to what I suggested earlier

> "... word wide self quarantine should be written into laws of public health.
May be every 5 years or so, for 1.5 months stop all non-essential travel, work commute, public gatherings and so on...".

With regards to your note on >"... lots of crazy leftist policies .. ."

In my view, centralized control of public health, appears to be a bottleneck to rapid response (not just because of process structuring, but also because massive centralization of money appropriation mandate, becomes a mechanism for unstoppable corruption spread, and non-meritocracy based promotions).

I never heard that conservatives are against telecommuting...

If anything there is, probably, a conservative sentiment against massive urbanization and globalization of supply lines.

After adding hidpi support to a small web app I am grateful that we are seeing progress in this area.

My solution was to use CSS media queries to selectively load different images. Using media queries this way felt like a kludge, and I knew there must be a better way. The new srcset attribute is definitely a step in the right direction.

Assuming Rails and other frameworks will add support for this I can see that at build time, or page generation time, our web frameworks will look for '@2x' version of images and automatically populate the srcset tag.
How is this not open source? This is basically an open source licence with an added restriction on commercial use. To my mind, commercial use is completely orthogonal to whether a licence is open source or not.

Note that "open source" != "under a OSI or FSF approved licence" and that at no time that I've seen does the developer claim it's "Free Software" (which it certainly isn't, although it does dynamically link a GPL'd library...).
Despite x86 compatibility, a large part of the value of Apple laptops comes from the fact that they are able to easily run OS X. It would be extremely difficult to sell an Apple laptop that did not come with the operating system preinstalled, since most of the potential buyers would expect to be able to run OS X. Replacing the hard drive would not help in this circumstance.

AFAIK, each developer is allowed to specify their setup the way they see fit - up to some $$$ limit.
True, but, from the data mentioned, the income distribution doesn't look very different.
We used lift, we're in the process of ripping it out and replacing it with something else, anything else really. When I last checked a few month's ago, Lift's documentation is terrible given it's complexity. A project that is as large as Lift cannot be learned by scanning the source code and the number of examples out there to do something really custom is lacking. Tons of it's source files have only the slightest smidgen of Scaladoc if any at all.

Also anything that actually is documented is probably deprecated or about to be usurped by another feature. No classes should be added to lift without proper documentation added first. Yes it's open source, yes no one wants to write documentation at the end of the day it hurts the project however. I don't want one on one support or having to write to mailing lists I want a good explanation of what is going on top to bottom.

However I hear over and over it has worked wonders for other people, so YMMV. It's certainly not the only way to make a Webserver in Scala it just has the benefit of being one of the first big Scala projects, and it has used that time to bloat out and grab as many features as it can without documenting them properly.
He never said that.

And indeed, searching all three volumes for "houses" and "homes", which are a pretty straight one-to-one translation, yields nothing that sounds remotely like this.

Every time I see one of these things, I wonder. Who the hell makes them up? And why? What do you get from passing your mediocre musings off as the work of a long-dead revolutionary?"
> "Famous people are famous because they do things. There's nothing more to it, and nothing less."

I agree with the "they do things" part but wholeheartedly disagree with "There's nothing more to it." There's a LOT more to it. I have a really good friend who ran a social network between 2003-2006 and had millions of users. He is a brilliant coder and worked really really hard to grow the site. He "did things".

He had a vision, built the foundations himself, assembled a capable team, delegated appropriately, and oversaw the operations as needed. But he's not famous today. Why not? Because his social network didn't make it big. It was successful enough to give him a good middle-class lifestyle (better than ramen profitable) but it didn't make him millions. And today nobody knows of his brilliance or leadership skills. You could say he's not famous because he didn't push through harder but then you better hold that criteria for everyone else who is famous too.
I don't understand what people want from AI. There is no way to make AI algorithms inherently equitable. If the models are trained on white power literature they will be racist. No company needs ai ethics researchers to know that they cant put models out into the wild without being manually curated.
ST3 is pure software rendering using Skia. Releasing our UI toolkit wouldn't be of much value to others as we regularly make changes and refactor things that break API compatibility. No one wants to use a UI toolkit that has next to no documentation and is constantly changing underneath them.
They are probably betting that this isn’t that big a deal for those of us that like remote work, and that ultimately when the day comes, we’d be unwilling to quit over it. We will see how well that ultimatum works out for them.

Well said Ben. I am also one of the long term PMC/Committer for the project.

One of the lesson I learnt was that Mesos's two level resource allocations was originally designed for running batch workloads (e.g., spark, mpi, etc.) if you look at the original paper. Use it to run long running services is actually an after thought. We end up finding that we have to do lots of tuning on the first level scheduling algorithm to ensure fairness given that the second level scheduler does not have the full view of the cluster and the first level scheduler does not have enough information to make good decisions. The solution to the problem is actually optimistic offer, which is essentially the k8s model.

Another reason k8s was successful is probably because the golang ecosystem. In mesos, we spent a lot of the energy building basic HTTP layer in C++ due to Mesos's unique threading model. I wish we could have spent those time working on actual useful features.
Yeah, I read it and tried to figure out what was new.

Like above, this has been known for decades. (maybe centuries aha)

First, learn to say no. You can do it politely and still say it, and it's not rude or aggressive to just say no.

Second, get a task list, put all of his/her suggestions on them. Use something like trac or redmine or whatever. Even better, have him/her put them in themselves.

Third, after you complete whacks of work, get together and prioritize the list, then pick a chunk of it to work on next. Keep your priorities to "Need It Now", "Could Be Cool", and "Not Worth It", or similar. The idea is eventually things should just fall off the list as not worth it.

Last but not least, you can reduce the amount of "no" you say by keeping to this little list. It puts their wild optimism into perspective by showing how their proposed feature fits in with all the other features currently waiting to be done and then they'll start to understand how long things take.

Now, the warning, do not keep track of how long each thing takes. This will give him/her control over how long things should take, and will be seen as a contract/promise rather than a guess. This is where you use "no". You are not a factory worker. Lists of things to do are fine. Fine grain hourly tracking is for time card punchers with no education working in a 3rd world country.
