maybe one solution would be to use another interpreted language, like python, lua, ruby, dart... and make it use the DOM.

I wonder if rust or c might run in a vm, I guess yes. C compilers can be very small too.
I've been wondering if fundamentalist positivism might not be the "Vatican dogma" of the next dark age.

I'm skeptical of this claim, but I don't fault them for trying. I also don't fault them for having strange beliefs. All sorts of geniuses have had very odd beliefs, from Newton onward. Seems to go hand in hand with the kind of bravely inquisitive mind that does such things.
This is just not true. Many simple lines are easier to read than fewer more complex lines. It's hard to miss a bug in

x = x + 1
foo[x]

But easier to miss a bug in

foo[x++]
"I have no good suggestion how to escape from that situation"

Everyone knows what the solution is; a sandboxable arch-independent batteries-included bytecode format for the web. The solution is obvious, the problem is in organising the detailed work necessary for such a format to emerge.
Open office + headphones was the best place work space for me, one big reason for me to have a job is to be surrounded by people and feel that I'm part of a team, otherwise I could just work from home instead of a stupid cubicle that makes me feel like a gear in a big machinery.
Probably because it works. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a newspaper that has survived using bland (read: accurate) headlines.
I really don’t think OP meant “there is no way to avoid using Search”. The point is that nothing that you described is a serious competitive threat to Search.

You might get a lot of gratification out of avoiding giving Google your data but the reality is most traffic is coming from people who will choose convenience.
I agree, although I’d say BCH proved it first. :P
Well, it seems likely a lot of that is just measurement error, but there’s a lot of arenas where you’ve got “not quite .NET” environments. I’m thinking Unity and Mono for iPhone/Android.
How does the fact that Fortnite is more popular among males equate to females being less likely to be able to be good at it?
Yeah, at some point Google had an option to search specifically in groups and forums but they killed it. I would also very much like a forum-specific search engine, very often I'm looking for discussion about a subject rather than the subject itself.

Ideally it would source from forums, reddit/HN/Digg and the like, comments directly under articles/blogs, Wikipedia talk pages, archives of newsgroups, mailing lists, Google groups and Yahoo groups, etc.
Why wouldn't he, when the penalty for pedophilia is worse than murder? You can kill someone, do your time, and be out in as little as 5-10 years having paid your debt to society. Sex offenders are branded for life, and are reduced to living in the modern-day equivalent of leper colonies.

It can seem that way, but the consequence of not knowing them is lots of subtle race conditions. Granted, most webapps probably don't have enough users to trigger them too often, and the impact is often limited e.g. because the kinds of inconsistencies you can introduce don't actually matter that much in many cases.

For the majority of webapps, I'm not sure the default isolation level of MySQL and Postgres is an appropriate tradeoff, since I'd rather have correctness by default than performance by default.
Indeed, they are not competitors. Just for git integration alone, having a text based diagram is great.
You didn't read the last sentence of my comment ...

Just give me a button I can hit whenever I want Google's result instead, and I'll gladly switch to DDG.
> Even if I used Twitter, it wouldn't be hard to just go find all the same people on Facebook or whatever and follow them there.

The fact that Twitter overlaps with other services like Facebook doesn't mean it's not valuable. For example, to take one of your own examples:

> If Google decided to start charging $10/mo for search? A lot of people would pay it.

"Even if I used Google, it wouldn't be hard to just go enter the same searches on Bing or DuckDuckGo and find web sites there instead."

What an absurdly legit leader. Standing on top of a trench, entirely exposed, holding nothing but a stick in his hand. Ya, that would give your men confidence before a charge. I want to be 1/100 this awesome!
I think this is all somewhat related to how much you can keep in your head at once. More code -> less expression -> less that you can keep in your head -> you can solve smaller problems.

If a problem requires that you keep all of it in your head then being able to express that problem concisely will aid in solving it.

The poor mans solution is to reduce the scope: chop the problem into sub-problems that you can solve individually.

Divide and conquer is the most powerful tool in a programmers arsenal because it allows you to use the worst languages to solve some of the most complicated problems.

But there may be a subset of problems where that strategy no longer works and for those problems the more compact languages may have a very strong advantage.

The problem is the license tries to say the same thing at least 3 times, and that results in tremendous ambiguity.

If you wanted to use it commercially and safely, you'd have to spend quite a bit on an IP lawyer with no guarantee he'd give you an OK. In a universe with so many good languages, many with much bigger communities (in part because of the license), with well understood and often tested in court licences, it's a non-starter.

The intent is fine, everybody's code will run on your port, modulo bugs, and is plainly stated in the last line of the licence: “Thou shalt not break the spec” It's the execution by someone who's a computer scientist, not a lawyer, nor very familiar with IP law.
It would be lieing if I told I used it and in respect to Github's own software, that being the website and/or the client application, I found it worse. But in my first comment, which is simply «It's not.», I cannot see any indications of such statement. And I back what I state with my actual comment. On the website there is no link to information about the application, no documentation, no videos, no blog posts, nothing. Instead, I, and the software's target audience, are users of the Github.com already, and we know how to use github.com already, there is a plethora of docs, wikis, blog posts, videos which help us on using it on the web. Plus, the software is a third-party client to a service that already offers an official client. Out of this situation, the most obvious inference is that sticking to the website and/or the official application is better that using the OP's linked one. No lieing here, just reasoning.

If there was any sort of documentation or anything, a link to source on github, an end-user support possibility better than a twitter account that follows popular tech-news websites and tech celebs, I might have thought that it is promising and worth a try. But as it stands, no, it doesn't make me «step into the shop».
My first thoughts were GoPro camera + bathroom. Doesn't change the visual very much, even at another angle. :P
Is there somewhere where you or someone else goes into more details on the points you made?
An upvote should be a sign that the comment-er did a good to great job of explaining a position that may or may not align with your confirmation bias and other thoughts, not a simple "I agree" signal.
No idea on other stuff, but immobilizer for auto, which is like kill switch for phones, reduced car theft multiple times (3+) since it was introduced.

I wonder if all the people who upvote this would take offense to the same statement applied to black people or whatever identity you want to swap in.
I am a strong sell on ClubHouse at a $2b valuation. Just like Medium and Quora, once the masses are allowed on, the noise will get too high and the signal will get lost.
I'm not going to defend his actions, and I won't claim I would have done any better, but I can empathize with the feeling.

When you are called out, even when you are clearly in the wrong, your first reaction is defensiveness. I know, I've been there. It's tough addressing one's own issues, but it's the right thing to do, and do it in the most emotionless manner possible.

You are right it comes with the job; but I think the first time it happens at a scale one is not used to is a very hard inflection point that can make or break how one grows (or doesn't!) from that point forward. "Fail fast" shouldn't be a mantra simply for startups.
I think my tech predictions are required reading for everyone based on how frequently I’m wrong. Just yesterday I said “what’s so great about Clubhouse, I don’t see the point”. By doing so I think I virtually guaranteed it’s success.

Jokes aside, Ben’s argument here seems solid. It will depend on them solving discovery as well as TikTok did but they could be huge if they manage it.
Why can’t you install multiple versions of the compiler on the system? This seems like a poor design choice that could be easily solvable if you move outside the “only run what the distribution blesses” idea.
Look at Victoria II if you want a game that is mainly about processes not objects.
The question I’m left with is, will Clubhouse be able to scale building communities?
Looks like they cut out the "In-Page Analytics" feature. Too bad, it's a great idea but has been eternally buggy.

That £700 from 1965 is now worth £13,600. He should pay it back if he can, even if any legal obligation has expired. But not the first class return ticket, that seems to have been freely given.
As far as I know there is no good data on "long covid" that substantially controls for confounders like obesity and age. Obese people are likely to have seemingly "long-term" effects from any respiratory problems that actually disappear if they lose weight (see for example obese asthma sufferers who often have what appears like chronic bronchitis). If you are aware of anything that provides evidence that accounts for confounders I'd be very happy to change my mind.

What do you find works best for short bursts of interview prep, a quick leetcode before lunch?
You'd think so, but having taken apart a couple of bicycles I gotta say it's far more complicated than say taking apart a PC. There are so many seemingly pointless steps involved like removing C clips that don't belong and solving some topological problems to get the chain out. Notice how the chain and the triangle frame are interlinked.

I have no idea how these victorian steam punk contraptions are assembled and sold at a <$100 price point
I think the question is one of what should be mainstream. I think most people will value portability over all else once it can come close to matching local apps. Because while it might not take you or me much effort to move our data from computer to computer your average user dreads that. Your average user lives in fear of their computer crashing because they'll lose access to their data and have to pay someone $300+ to get it fixed. Or that they'll get a virus and lose access to everything. Or whatever else.

For them the right tools is one that gives them the ability to walk over to another system, put in their info and be back up and running.

For people like you I think there will always be Linux versions out there and who knows what else. The cloud isn't right for everyone. Those of us who support ChromeOS just realize most people aren't like you.

How did you find time and energy to work on BCC while working 70 hour weeks?
:( So there's no way to just default to that? In chrome there's a `defaults write` command that does it.

I really dislike this philosophy of replacing the system functionality. Particularly on Mac where the system functionality is quite good. (On Windows and Linux, I admittedly don't care as much, because nothing is ever consistent anyway...)
Why don't you buy a personal weather station and connect it to wu? This seems more sustainable than lugging around that equipment on a truck, which increases the fuel cost. Plus, what are the chances of having a USPS vehicle within a mile of you at any given time? It's 6am on a Sunday and I want to know the weather.
Amazing transparency! Imagine if the whole industry behaved this way, we'd all be better for it.

Maybe a minor point to some here, but I'd love to know more about the QA process changes they're hinting at.
> "Literature has always been a conversation among writers who borrow, build upon, and deviate from each other’s words. Forgetting this, we forget that aesthetics is not a social invention, that democracy is not an aesthetic category; and that the dismantling of hierarchies is tantamount to an erasure of history."

What an absurd statement. "The dismantling of hierarchies is tantamount to an erasure of history"?

No, no.

The danger of the canon is that it presents its status as self-evident, obvious, a birthright. "Of course these texts are foundational, and should be." A canon isn't just a group of texts that are good; it's a group of texts and ideas that try to place themselves outside of the realm of judgment by presenting themselves as near-holy.

It should go without saying; there can be many different groups of good things for different people, many different preferences. Wanting to preserve pre-existing hierarchies without changing it is one of the most oppressive things I can imagine.
Finding a job is easy, finding the right job is hard for people like this.
No he could be right: the covid is better handled in places were people are more careful, which explains the difference between countries. In fact there is less deaths in countries with less or no restrictions (Taiwan, South Korea, Japan) than the ones who heavily locked down their population (Europe) which tends to prove the point.
if we let the virus lives its life, maximum 2% of pop will die, 90 more % will live normally and a few percent will have covid related health issues. so we sacrifice a few percent of population for the future of the others
It's not a term used in America, outside of some extremely old black-and-white movies. Still I'd be surprised if someone born and educated here didn't know what it meant, since it must have been encountered in books or film or something.
So, January 2019 in London Commissioning Region hospitals:

1033 open adult critical care beds; 882 in use. 85% utilisation.

Best-case forecast Jan 2021:

2078 critical care beds required, 1,661 available (increase of ~600). Forecasted 125% utilistation.
Strongly agreed. I wanted to have this ever since I saw the video of "Code Bubbles" some decade ago.

The problem with how we currently develop is, IMO, low control over screen space. We have files, which are strongly linearized. We can open more than one file side by side. Most tools provide some way to jump across references. Some tools provide these as inline inserts ("popouts"), instead of opening more files. But still, for any given thing you're focused on, most of the file you have on your screen is likely unrelated.

I'd love to see an experiment around such code bubbles, but taken to further extremes. Make it easier to pop up bubbles with a single function, that can optionally be expanded to cover more - and also, importantly, shrunk down to cover less. Let me see and retain the graph of connections on the screen. And edit code directly in these bubbles. All on a densely packed, 2D slate, scrollable in both dimensions and fully navigable with a keyboard.
I'm willing to bet you money that virtually nobody adjusts their privacy settings based on topic of conversation, especially not non-tech people which is almost all users. I don't think I've ever seen anyone chat with their girlfriend and go "hey, grocery talk over, switch to e2ee now". Defaults matter and I'm certain almost no telegram conversations use e2ee as a consequence, with private info or otherwise. It's important to have it as a default and to tell people why they should use an app that does.
There were dudes inside Congress waving rebel flags. Trump and friends probably didn't count on that when they were posturing on Twitter.

Twitter has finally had it with Trump. His last two tweets were removed for TOS violations.
Well even at the most conservative readings of recent statistics the growth rate has been 3.5% daily, so you might have 2 and a half weeks if you are really lucky.
You've not seen our product.. We may have gifs like here.fm but our spatial engine is completely different. Plus, we've built it to handle crowds. You can have up to 100 people in a room. Here has a limit of about 12.

Btw, the real OG of this space is New Hive. It has been an inspiration of many such products.

Perhaps a tech savvy community is more aware of the flaws of BTC, and therefore more bearish on it's prospects.

That dollar-for-dollar oil prices have not risen nearly as much as you might think since the 70's, especially not when compared to other items such as real-estate or food.
One issue I've heard from a couple friends that worked for the NSA is that they have no idea what they're working on. One friend said he would just get specifications for input into a module and what the module should output. He wrote tests around the specs and wrote the module but had no idea what it was part of.

I've also met programmers who are just out to get a stable job. I bet the NSA looks for people like this. "Sit here, do your job, get this paycheck"

I want to redirect the course of my professional life/ education towards tech. I have been studying civil engeneering, which I have come to realization doesn't align with what I want to do. Only recently I quit out. I am now 25 years old and with my current life situation I want to get my boots on the ground to get ahold of something. That's why I am not looking to go directly to university again.

I have always been atracted towards more abstract and mathematical ideas. That's why I had plenty fun teaching myself the various 'stuctural analysis' courses. I have worked at a structural consulting office for two years as well.

I am interested in BIM 'building information modelling' and 3D in general, but open for other directions as well. If you're company is looking for someone who actively wants to learn a new field, please reach out.

> Then the portability issue will have been fixed once and for all

That’s just not true. These targets may make different assumptions about various low level things such as memory ordering, byte-width, behavior on overflow, etc. While C might be okay to defer to the architecture on these questions, Rust is more strict.

I personally think you’ll just end up with a bunch of broken binaries.
Fair point about Tesla. Basically you have to pay a lot for a car with such performance, so the price of battery vs the price of a powerful enough really big ICE is attractive. But that's still a niche of the market, most people don't buy cars in this price range. Tesla might have premium performance and nice handling but is still not comparable to established luxury brands in other areas like quality of assembly and materials, so it is not 100% fair comparing the price.

> Diesels and HEVs are not much less expensive than EVs.

Not yet, at least not in Europe. HEVs are very close to ICEVs now, particularly when comparing to a car with automatic transmission or a diesel. But EVs of the same make are typically 30%-50% more expensive, if not additionally donated by government programs or not getting any preferred taxation. That's why they got popular more in countries that offered big donations / tax discounts (e.g. Norway).

Example: 2021 Hyundai Ionic Hybrid costs $24k, but a fully electric version starts at $33k. That's over 30% more. I could buy gasoline for over 15 years of driving for that.
I teared up quite unexpectedly as they confirmed touchdown with that "tango delta". Amazing!
> See our first call to 'syscalls.40201B', it's jumping past our first string. A call normally knows how to return to where we came from by pushing the address of the next instruction to the stack. In this case though, our program doesn't intend to return to this at all, it is using that pushed address as a side effect, as that address really is the first byte of our string, it serves as a pointer to it, and it is now on the stack conveniently as an argument.

Nasty. I love it.

What is the rationale for doing this, rather than putting the strings in the rodata section or whatever they have in PE files, and pushing addresses as immediates?

Do the strings end up in the instruction cache? They are never interpreted as instructions, but they will be on the same cache lines as real instructions.
Who’s dunking it on social media?
I can second Dokku, though haven't used CapRover. Dokku has its quirks but it has served me well in the past two years.
This is not true in any sense. After 11 years of use, a $10 vps can download the entire chain in under an hour and a half. A fast cable modem connection can do it in under three hours.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is 231 GB, the bitcoin chain is 381 GB.

Call of Duty + Red Dead Redemption 2 = bitcoin's entire chain.

This is about $6 USD of hard drive space. The throughput of bitcoin is about 1.5 -kilobytes- per second. At that speed reddit.com would take 36 minutes to load.
My mistake. I meant kubecfg which is built off of jsonnet.
I am really sorry but Wall Street usurped Bitcoin two years ago.
Reminder: businesses can decide what they want to sell, people can also decide to criticise them for it.
