To echo the other responses with a practical example, suppose you were to have a slow growing prostate cancer. Suppose that there was a 0% chance it'd actually cause you any real harm. This is a not at all uncommon scenario.

Now suppose an early screen detects this cancer. Since we still have difficulty discerning whether or not your cancer is really "bad" or not you'll likely undergo immediate treatment. This treatment leaves you feeling horribly ill for the duration with all sorts of side effects. After treatment you're left with urinary leakage and erectile dysfunction.

I don't know about you but if you were to tell me that I could live the rest of my days with a minor cancer growing in my body minding its own business I'd choose leaving it there vs the side effects of the treatment.
Looks awesome and fast. Exactly what’s needed and expected from Mozilla. Thank you!

Can we have something similar for desktop as well?
I mean I'd just recommend turning it into two-pages of the most interesting material that was said in that conversation. The title is interesting, I'd rather read a 2-paragraph article on just that than a 10 page article that answers a bunch of mostly-unrelated stuff.

But if the answer to the question isn't shocking (e.g. he got rejected after re-interviewing) then I'd just recommend asking different questions because the tech industry is outrageous and full of crazy stuff (e.g. Silicon Valley gets it).
Companies buy support from RedHat openshift or Pivotal CloudFoundry to run containers. They never pay Docker Inc.
Monero. It's the largest 'privacy coin'. I think I could make a strong investment case for it. I'll say this instead; Don't buy it unless you think privacy's important. It's the most (crypto) nerdy coin, with a technical community (r/Monero). I like to call it cypherpunk money.

As it's private it could get banned -- which could set in back in the short-term. In the long-term, I think it's going to be money (or something like it). It could be a rocky ride!

Edit: A rocky ride with consequences (It's not a fairground ride). I want to point that out.

Edit2: You could sell your investment, obviously. I talking about if you're in for the duration.

Greater minds than yours esteemed astrology as the "noble art" - Claudius Ptolemy, Tycho Brahe, John Dee and Carl Jung to name a few. Have you actually studied astrology beyond newspaper sun signs? If not, you're not in a position to dismiss it.
It might allow you to have as good performance as JS compilation, but definitely not as good interoperability with JS. Some of those languages, like ClojureScript, Scala.js and BuckleScript, have complete 2-way interop between them and JS, including for mutable objects, their properties and their methods.

"Just" compiling Scala to JVM-on-wasm does not give you the real power of Scala.js, which is its interoperability with JavaScript libraries. Similarly, just compiling Clojure to JVM-on-wasm does not give you the real power of ClojureScript.

People often forget about the interop with JS part--which is immensely more important than raw performance--if they don't actually work with a language that offers it. :-(

If you really want some fun, try explaining to people the difference between modern Greek tonos (e.g. ή, Unicode 03ae) and ancient Greek oxia (e.g. ή, Unicode 1f75). Or in UTF-8:

0000020 20 e1 bd b5 0a > ....<

It's super fun when you are the only tech person in a Classics grad program and everyone else is turning in papers that look like ransom notes, because every fourth vowel has a different x-height from all the other letters. :-)

Here are the two Unicode ranges (PDF):

modern Greek: http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0370.pdf

ancient Greek: http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F00.pdf

Then again, try explaining to tech people the difference between ή and ἠ and how you can get ἤ or ᾔ. :-)

The point is, there will be false positives, there is no reason to get upset and hurt over them...

There is no perfect system. If its automated, there will be false positives (and negatives), if there is a human involved, you have a clear bias issue, if there is a group of humans involved, you have societal bias to deal with...

There is no perfect system for something like this, to the best answer is to use something like this, that gets it right most of the time... then clean up when it makes a mistake. And you shouldn't have to apologize for the false positive, people need to put on their big boy pants and stop pretending to be the victim when there is no victim to begin with...

Also, doing business with Nazis (and I'm not throwing that term around lightly; the Daily Stormer identifies themselves as such) is, especially given recent events, considered bad for business. So I would say they have a business reason there too.

AFAIK, the latter use-case is currently done all the time. Much of the data can be obtained legally, and is public data. Political campaigns are most definitely using all the data they have on you, including public data/legally-obtainable information such as voter turnout history/registration/party affiliation, street address, etc. to do targeting advertising already.

A lot of the mentioned languages also allow deep interoperability between their heap and the JavaScript heap, e.g., circular references between objects of the "two heaps", and free access to fields and methods of objects of the other language.

That's very hard (if not impossible) to achieve without leak and performance degradation if the two languages have their own GC, with their own heaps.

Compiling a language to JS is not about making it work. That's easy (it becomes hard to cite a language that does not do it). It's about designing the language to interoperate with JS, and making that work. That is the real challenge.
I agree. I got carried away ranting about app stores...again.

How likely is it that a developer will develop an app in 8 hours with an expected value of $5k/365 or $13.70?
Slots have benefits outside of the memory savings. By preventing arbitrary attribute assignment on an object, slots can provide nice guarantees about the shape of an object, making it easier to reason about.
They seem to be in a unique position to monetize with multiple models. Compared to something like Github, Docker and Docker Swarm has much more opportunity for large enterprise support contracts. Most companies feel that Docker is synonymous with containers, yet still don't fully understand the technology. Git already had a high adoption years before Github was around so developers were familiar with it (or other VCS) and didn't need to spend thousands of dollars to support a git repo.

On the other hand, curious how much revenue DockerHub is bringing in and where they will plan on taking it. That model seems closer to Github. Will it be a newer way to discover new OS or even propriety images like how devs use Github?
What percentage of developers own a home in the bay area? Its probably low enough to not matter in this case.
"Animal life is full of fear; human life is also full of hope. Only human beings are aware of their mortality, can be occupied or preoccupied with their death and the dead. We are unique among animals in being able to strive to understand our lives and the place of death in life...."

Disagree. There's plenty of documentation of dogs understanding dangerous situations and assisting humans in exiting them. If they only had "fear", this would not be possible. They obviously have enough agency overcome such basic instinct.

"The horizon of possible thought is determined by the limits of the expression of thought; but with us, unlike other animals, those limits are set by the linguistic expression of thought. If one has mastered the use of tenses and of temporal referring expressions, one can think of the past and the future."

Also disagree. Genie [0] was raised without language. When discovered, she could not use language to describe her experiences. Later, after learning language, she could retroactively describe these situations. That means that her experience was not limited by not having known language. This also includes emotive elements of the experiences.

I dunno. It seems more weird to me that the engineer, um, "engineer" as in good at math, good at seeing a whole system, doesn't apply those skills to their own compensation package.

It would be a whole lot less weird to me if we were talking about, I dunno, anyone who isn't good at systems/math.

It's just a big blind spot, at least it is in the USA. I don't get it.

I personally think that, for electric cars at least, there are two main things in battery tech holding them back:

Capacity and charging time

Basically, if we could get a battery cell that was no bigger than say, the lithium cells used by Tesla (sub-C size? I can't recall what they used), and with about the same mass, but had double the capacity - in theory, Tesla could swap out one for the other and instantly double the range of their vehicles. That would instantly put them in line with the range of a gasoline powered vehicle (to be honest, though, they are already there or close enough - provided you aren't too aggressive with the pedal).

But extra range is just one component. The battery also needs to be able to be charged in a reasonable amount of time. I would personally like to see 5 minutes tops to a full 100% charge. I want to be able to travel cross country, and if I don't want to do an extended stop, I'd like to get out, charge the car to 100% in 5 minutes, and then drive on. I don't want to have to wait, I want to be able to do the same as I can do today with a gasoline powered vehicle.

I honestly don't know if such a scheme is even possible within the laws of physics, while still being safe for the consumer. It might be a case where a different form of infrastructure needs to be created to handle charging, due to likely high currents and/or higher voltages involved. It doesn't seem possible to offer this as a "plug in" style recharging system, but perhaps something you drive into, and large contacts or something from the bottom rise up and "plug in" to ports on the underside of the vehicle could work? There are also the "battery swap" schemes, but this seems like something that could take longer than 5 minutes. Regardless, just about anything will ultimately require some kind of standards for car manufacturers to adhere to so it all works (imagine if there were different size nozzles for each manufactured vehicle for gasoline).

Note that I don't expect for "overnight charging" to happen quickly; existing charger designs (or similar) could likely handle this for home or on-the-road use (when there isn't another option, or for perhaps plugging in while staying at a hotel or something).

Until these two items are solved, though, I don't see electric cars being as widespread among consumers as many think they will be.
No, it doesn't -- I think the GP is stating that they were used to multiple tabs in a browser before they switched to Focus.
> It's not a technical issue. Software is not yet capable of accurate content detection,

Your second sentence is a technical argument, which makes your first a lie. Obviously Google disagreed, which is why they put this system into place. And if they were wrong about that they were wrong for technical reasons, not moral ones.

I mean, you can say there's a policy argument about accuracy vs. "justice" or whatever. It's a legitimate argument, and you can fault Google for a mistake here. But given that this was an automated system it's disingenuous to try to make more of this than is appropriate.
The 21 years cited in the article was for the average college graduate. If you're an MIT graduate in a STEM field, you are well above average.
The person I replied to stated he was more than qualified to get into MIT, so I presume he'd have graduated above MIT average in a STEM field, which is not a disadvantaged position to be in.
Correction: some more of the check
I really appreciate the S8. Also, Samsung has some sort of trade-in deal going for $150 off the price of the phone†, which is what convinced me to grab it.

I'll offer a warning I wish I'd received a week ago. I've had mine for a week, and the shortest of drops (about a foot) resulted in a badly cracked screen. This is after two years with an S6 with hardly a scratch. I've read that it's one of the most fragile phones on the market[1], which doesn't make me feel any better, but does make me wish I didn't switch until I got my screen protector the next day.

Due to the shape and how new the screen is, I'm likely to have to pay about half the discounted price of the phone to get it fixed.

Otherwise, it's an excellent phone and a fantastic upgrade from the S6. Just make sure you get a screen protector.

You should be putting away a small percentage of your salary per month. Or else you are living above your means. So 5% of a high salary is larger than 5% of a lower. Or can be even higher than 10% of another area.
Yeah, there does need to be some sort of inhibition against highly traumatizing content, it should certainly not be promoted to people who do not seek it out. But purging news videos of statues being destroyed and ancient buildings being demolished, is going too far.
As I'm probably the steward on this going forward: unknown. I don't intend to implement them unless I need them. Would I take a patch with good coverage that implemented those.
This is very good feedback and show flaws in areas that could be improved. Thank you!

I will add some comments below but they are not meant to dispute your claims but to find places where we can improve.

> The log messages suck. If I want to use them in production and actually ship them to ELK or similar, the format really sucks.

Do you mean the Logger messages? Their format is customizable. Can we make this clearer?

> Getting information on what happens at compile time vs run time is hard.

Which kind of information do you need? Is it something that would fit the meta-programming guide on the website? Or maybe we are missing a more detailed compiler guide?

> How do you handle operating system signals? like when your autoscale group decides to scala down and you get a SIGTERM with some time to handle it, what do you do? wrapper scripts suck.

It was not possible cleanly until OTP 20, so it is fairly new. At least, from 19.x onwards, the VM will shutdown cleanly on SIGTERM - which means shutting down all applications and supervision trees. A lot of guides (including the Elixir guides) cover supervisor only through the fault tolerance perspective, while they also encapsulate the start-up and shutdown logic. I have opened an issue for this here: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/6479

> What command do I run? when do I run an app vs compiling it? What If I want command line args? Where's a good example of writing an app, which is a daemon, and using an escript to reconfigure it at runtime?

Running your code is a matter of starting your application. We don't really have a `main` procedure as an entry point. Your system is designed as a series of applications and you start them. If you are using mix, it should be a matter of `mix run --no-halt`. If you are using releases, it automatically starts the system for you. Where would you expect to find this information? Did you see `mix run` at all? Maybe in the escripts page we should point to `mix run` as it seems an `escript` is really not required in your case?

> The error messages. Holy hell. What actually caused a pattern match to not work? what is it expecting? especially a few function calls deep - like interaction between tuples and arrays and keyword lists.

Those particular error message were fixed in Elixir v1.5 (with OTP 20+). Pull request is here: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/pull/6127

> Flow / Genstage and getting them into a supervision tree? what's the best practices.

Please open up an issue. If this is not clear form the documentation, it is a "bug" in the docs.

It is also worth mentioning that Ben Marx, Bruce Tate and I are working on book called "Adopting Elixir"
(https://pragprog.com/book/tvmelixir/adopting-elixir). The last three chapters focus exclusively on production aspects and it answers many of the questions here (log configuration, system termination, how to run it, design, etc).

Agreed, I hope that isn't the case here. Thanks for pointing out Cisco is part of her beat.

In the past several years I've become increasingly skeptical of news, particularly personal stories where the evidence seems slanted in a certain direction. There's usually another untold side to the story that remains untold as soon as the general narrative is established.
They removed the esoteric features because they could not be theoretically proven sound, not added them.
Reno seems like a good option, not counting quality-of-life (I've never been there, so couldn't say). Housing is actually reasonably priced, it's in Nevada with no state income tax, and it's a 4 hour drive or a pretty cheap bus ride to get back to SF.

I know a few folks who work remotely with SF companies that live in Reno. They'll make the trek occasionally to come into the office, too.

From there you can either try and find a technical person willing to help out, or hire someone via a site like upwork.com

A friend of mine is an investigative journalist in China - he spent a while working in a helmet foam factory and living in a dorm such as the one in the article.

He heard rumors that the Chinese mafia would pay workers to commit suicide at Foxconn in exchange for money for their family in the countryside. The mafia would then threaten suicide attempts as leverage to extort concessions from Foxconn.

Not sure if it's true (was only a rumor), but certainly got me thinking about it from another perspective.
