Where clang now clearly leads is in terms of runtime security and debugging features. Both share asan (address sanitizer), ubsan (undefined behavior) and tsan (threads). But msan (memory sanitizer, finds uninitialized memory use) is only available in clang.

In terms of exploit mitigation clang now has control flow integrity and safestack, as far as I'm aware nothing like this is available in gcc.

msan may not be such a big deal, because you could use clang for testing and gcc for production. But I hope more people adopt stronger exploit mitigations like CFI, and if gcc doesn't deliver them clang will win - at least for security sensitive areas.

Apps and the operating system cache lots of different things. If your system was under memory pressure then you'd see it lower.

There's a problem, though: it doesn't work that way.

The size reported by Windows is (if I'm not mistaken) the committed heap size of the program. Unless the application actively surrenders allocated pages back to the OS (and hint: no application does that), that memory is committed.

Edit: to add some color: when a program calls malloc, memory is allocated from pools inside the process itself. If no memory is available in the internal pool the allocator will call out to the OS for additional pages (in the Unix world this is a call to sbrk). When free is called, memory is returned to the internal pool but is not surrendered back to the OS and thus remains committed to the process. Actually reducing the committed heap size once again requires an explicit call to the OS (e.g sbrk).

Of course it may be swapped out by the OS, but that just means slow disk I/O when that application comes to the foreground or accesses those swapped pages (which presumably contains the precious cached data you refer to).

Should the OS use memory to cache transient data? Certainly. OSes typically contain logic to throw away those caches if memory is needed.

But applications that do this without intelligently surrendering cached pages back to the OS when memory is low (as an OS does with its own caches) just put that much more memory pressure on the overall system itself. And I've never heard of an application that does this. Certainly I've seen no evidence that Electron is that sophisticated in its memory management, though I'm happy to be proven wrong.
I agree that "instead" is too strict. Although, I disagree about accessing everything else besides CSVs through APIs because it usually requires a non-trivial amount of reading documentation and coding. It's a no-go for advanced non-technical users that I mentioned earlier. At the same time working with a multi-table SQLite dump is trivial with many data analysis tools.

if there was ever a president experienced at playing chicken with a large creditor and coming out alive, it's Trump.

We are certainly not decades away.

It seems to be a classic human error: people always seem to overestimate how far we've come and how far we've to go... and also underestimate the rate of progress/change. That's why technologies like the iPhone seem to show up "out of the blue" and "change everything."

That said, people also seem to never take into account the politics. Even if the technology was ready tomorrow it's not clear that certain special interests and elected officials would allow driverless 40-ton trucks to roam free on the highways. There would probably be a lot of push-back -- for the kids of course. Transportation is the definition of a highly-regulated industry and it's not clear that technologists will be able to move in and disrupt it so easily.
I have a picture in my head of a fleet of Katamari Damacy inspired satellites gobbling up space debris using magnetic 'glue' and ejecting wads of collected mass back to earth as part of moving to new paths that will intersect debris fields. Occasionally a space vehicle grabs hold of the growing debris ball and moves it to another orbit that needs to be vacuumed.

This was the first western pop music concert in China. Wham claims their 1985 concert was the first, that is not correct as this predated it by 4 years. Also, Jarre was invited by the Chinese government to play, unlike Wham he did not have his publicists petitioning for it. He had gone over to a university there to meet students and show them synthesizer technology. He even left some schematics so they could build their own.

It was also said to be the most widely listened to live broadcast in history, with over 1 billion listeners, though this is tricky to confirm.

There are more MySQL experts out there than there are PostgreSQL experts (though the number is still probably under 10,000 worldwide). MySQL replication and scaling is a well understood solution, and thoroughly battle tested. There are dozens of good solutions out there for handling near-instantaneous failovers, using little more than the tools provided by MySQL.

It has a lot of problems, but when you need to scale, you can do so much more affordably with MySQL.
You heard the opposite of reality. Here are the key facts:

- React Native is faster than apps using a webview because it uses native UI components for their OS targets (e.g. Android and iOS). They also look more native.

- React Native runs the JS code in a separate thread from the native UI components rendering. Webview apps will use the same thread for their app code and the DOM rendering.

I see, that makes sense about reducing the constant. Interesting. Thanks for the great explanation.

The idea is for Trump to encourage manufacturing to grow in the US.

There are regulatory hurdles to making a manufacturing plant in the US however: minimum wage, safety regulations, etc. etc. So it will be more expensive if made in the USA.

Alternatively, things can become like the Car industry. Where certain parts are manufactured outside the US, while the final car is manufactured inside of the US. Toyota has a major presence in the US.

I'm not saying I necessarily agree with it, but it helps to understand at least why Trump's supporters support Trump.
Exactly. A few days using HyperV for my linux desktop guest was enough to convince me that I didn't need Docker for Windows THAT bad. I'm back to Virtualbox.
Quirks are a function of compatibility, yes, but also of how bad your initial design was. Mysql having a lot of quirks doesn't meant it's better at compatibility, it means it just had a worse design to begin with and had to compensate.

They're protocol compatible, but MariaDB has been drifting away from the core storage engines and optimizer for some time. For good and ill (I think you hit the latter).
And all of them are universally terrible and a MAJOR hassle to integrate with any embedded system. If you read mbedTLS or PolarSSL run far far away.

Maybe people hand-roll their own signature validation code badly, but those same people will just as much screw up or plain disable the CA verification.

If you have the knowledge to use the primitives from something like NaCl, you have nothing to gain from using a full TLS stack but pain building, upgrading, programming your firmware and massive middleware problems in the field. And when they inevitably find issues in the TLS stack you used, your device is now fucked since there is no virtual address space, W^X, even stack cookies..

"Previously if you somehow managed to find Unity terminal window (not easy)"

Are you saying its difficult to open the terminal in unity? Its on the right click menu on the desktop (common feature across WMs) as well as CTRL-ALT-T, another common shortcut (though some WMs are simpler and use CTRL-T). Its also called "terminal" so searching in the app menu or with the super key is trivial.

I honestly feel like Terminal might be the easiest to open app with the most shortcuts built in by far in any unix WM, so that comment completely confuses me...

Exactly. Cheaper goods have been the only saving grace for American middle class in the past 30 years, where wages have stagnated and vast majority of fruits of labor went to the top 1%.

You take away those $19 jeans, $49 blue ray player, $79 ikea bookcase, $299 laptop and there is going to be hell to pay.
But taxis aren't controlling the supply, the government is. Has the government done any analysis into their decision here? How do they know that wages won't rise as a result of cheaper and more frequent trips, for example? What if people who left the taxi industry went on to more productive things? Will the government also ban self-driving vehicles?

Nobody is questioning whether an elected official or government bureaucracy has the "right" to make the decision, it's clear they do. What is being questioned directly is the morality of the decision and whether this is a good decision.

It would be great if you stopped this "I defend their right to do this" commentary because it's not relevant to the conversation and distracts from what we're actually talking about.

This is a reason why mandatory open source contributions (yes, that's part of some curriculae nowadays) are a double-edged sword. On the one hand, some of these go on and do valuable work, others just want to invest the absolute minimum effort to pass the class.

...and 36 of them are in use within the United States.

Emphasis below on chlorpyrifos which Trump's EPA took off the EPA's banned list. EPA bulletin written before Trump took office:

"...Thirty-six of them [organophosphates] are presently registered for use in the United States, and all can potentially cause acute and subacute toxicity. Organophosphates are used in agriculture,
homes, gardens and veterinary practices; however, in the past decade, several notable OPs have been discontinued for use, including parathion, which is no longer registered for any use, and chlorpyrifos, which is no longer registered for home use. ..."

No experience, but did a thorough read through of the docs. One thing to keep in mind about clickhouse is that their replication guarantees aren't very strong. From the docs: "There are no quorum writes. You can't write data with confirmation that it was received by more than one replica."

That's pretty troubling, but at least they're open about it. That said their performance claims are pretty spectacular, and it seems solidly engineered. Further if you're not planning on using replication it certainly seems interesting. I'd be curious to hear about someone's production experience as well, since the list of companies running it seems rather thin.
> We were sometimes able to go from concept to deployed application in a single day.

This just makes me shudder a little bit. I've seen such things before, even recently at my current job. These kinds of applications tend to be a nightmarish mix of unmaintainably overengineered and underdesigned terrible code.

Founders Factory | Full Stack Hackers | Full-time in London

Founders Factory is a new model in tech business creation that is backed by blue chip corporate partners. We will build and scale 200 early stage technology companies across multiple sectors in the next five years.

We are not the type of organisation that has fully-specified product definitions and just need engineers to put their head down & churn out code. As with any early-stage startup, we are product focused, looking to get quick feedback from potential customers with short development iterations.

The ideal candidate will:

- Be engaged in the product development process

- Enthusiastic about working closely with product managers & designers to help define the product

- Not be worried about architecting the perfect solution and comfortable quickly prototyping solutions that move product development forward.

To get in touch: hadi@foundersfactory.co
Total agreement.

And even before the coding starts, defining good abstractions for complex peripherals is very difficult. Counter/timer modules are the poster child for that. Heck, if you look at the Micropyothon issues on github you will find pages of vigorous debate about GPIO pullup configuration, much less anything complex.

Interesting, I've found the exact opposite to be true the last time I looked. Most comparisons which I've looked at which have shown PG to be faster are usually making really basic mistakes in scaling up the MySQL config (which is, admittedly, not a trivial task, but there are a lot of resources out there).

Can you point to any benchmarks or usage patterns which show PG to be the better performer?
