Can't they just switch Spacey for somebody else?

I also don't understand why is Netflix held accountable for the past sexual offences of a homosexual man? THey cancelled the show. There's nothing more they should do. And it's more than enough: think of all the people who are out of a job now.
Yes but not with the "just work" part
The body of the article completely contradicts the title, making the points that Netflix has both moved on with other headline shows to attract/keep customers as well as them being praised for their quick action. So... Netflix doesn't have a mess on their hands?

Unrelated, the rest of the article is typical of newspapers rehashing the same facts for people who haven't caught a previous article. That style really dates newspaper articles for me, as it's a holdover to various print editions I imagine. You can link to a previous article instead of rewriting all the same information that's already been written before, but there's one article prepared for internet and print consumption.

Go uses an m:n thread model. Goroutines are multiplexed onto a smaller number of os-level threads. They're sort of like threads, but they have a simplified programming model (There is no thread-level storage for example).
So tell us what happened on the 12th!
censorhip? Here in my country, there are webpages blocked(blocking dns). We see there is a lot of censorhip on the internet. IPFS is permanent, anyone can't eliminate that content. You can get access, with lots of gateways.
Hi Ryan. Do you send a confirmation email after signup? I can't find one in my inbox, so I'm unsure if my signup was succesfull or not.
Goroutines are threads. They're just not kernel-level threads.

There have been implementations of pthreads that used an M:N model, for instance.
Thanks man!
You summed it up nicely! This project is about making the trade-off between speed and cost. There is greatness in either-end of the spectrum.
Software development should be about thinking, creating, solving problems, and yet a large percentage is grunt work that barely requires more than monkey intelligence.

In some ways we benefit. Sometimes its harder to replace us not just because of skill, but because of countless layers of byzantine and mundane information we’ve memorized about a system. It just not cost effective to stuff all of that crap into someone else’s brain if you don’t have to.

However whenever there is a way to reduce the cruft to productivity ratio, the power is staggering. That’s your “10x” developer right there, someone who gets to actually think a higher percentage of the time.
If a bug on your end could prevent other people from accessing data then I wouldn't call that decentralised.

where time goes to die
Okay thanks a lot :)
Don't make the mistake of thinking life goals will play out the same as work/project goals. Setting deadlines on major life goals leads to increased stress and can make you feel like a failure. (I'm 30 and haven't started my own company! 28 are haven't started a family! 35 and haven't saved for retirement!) Forget all those types of timings. Do set goals. Do move towards them. But only worry about the direction you are going.

Life is both long and short. Live long enough, headed in the right direction, and you'll get where you want to be. But life can also end suddenly, unexpectedly. And will some day. So be happy on the path... because ultimately, you will live your entire life on your own path... and then die. Make sure you are enjoying the journey.

Ask NH: Bitcoin hits $7500 Now what?
And the author is the senior editor for Ars? Wow.
Yes it does. But I don't believe this app is using any actual seeding mechanisms of IPFS from a user perspective. Which is why i'm asking about where the nodes would be to make this distributed and decentralised.

My guess is that the server of this project uploads and "pins" this file in IPFS, in which case it would be no different than a centralised solution. If the server goes down, your file is unaccessible.

Also, when you use this app, you aren't doing this through an IPFS node to then be able to seed it. You are just downloading the already hosted file using a HTTP proxy service that can download from IPFS.
We start out playing, I don't think we should ever stop doing that.

If more knowledge was the answer, then all the super smart people of the world would have everything. But it's often total idiots who end up having the most fun.

But we're all idiots, nobody knows what they are doing.

All knowledge has a thread which goes back through history. For example, all this Bitcoin stuff is new and nobody knows what's going to happen with it. But the whole is made up of pieces which have a long thread of history. Each of these threads themselves contains key pieces and key people. Rather than reading that new best selling book, look at the sources and read those sources instead. Then follow the trail of sources to find the keys to the subject. Ignore all the surrounding noise.

Your brain can do maybe 4-ish hours of hard work and in maybe 1.5 hour-ish bursts. You will likely have a few times per day where your energy is high. Your day of productivity is that quiet burst in the morning. You only get one of those each day. You probably get another nice high productivity chunk in the evening. Maybe you get another in between. Make those periods your most brilliant creative periods. Take some time to play. Take some time to read from that key list you put together from the last point. Then fill remaining time with whatever.

Once you get the effort and the creative part right, then it's luck which does much of the rest. That's why idiots who create, play and put in the effort are able to have so much fun, they get lucky too.

You don't get lucky unless you fully jump in and just start trying things.

Constraints are good. Read into people who have done well with debilitating injuries. Read about people who have done well with lots of kids. If you are single and have a difficult time managing 16 hours of your day, imagine yourself as only having 4 hours per day.

Much of the problem with moving forward in the face of overwhelming information is just picking something. How many threads have you read in which someone is asking about Ruby vs Python. Months later this same person hasn't done anything because he or she still hasn't been able to make a decision. We can't move forward because we're afraid of committing. We instead might spend time on low commitment actions such as browsing news. The key is that it doesn't matter and that you should just get moving. The most important information isn't what you are looking at when you are trying to decide, but that information which comes when you are on the road. A heavy effort is a far better gain in life tokens than you lose by making the wrong decision. You will make wrong choices all the time, but you will overcome those decisions with a solid and consistent effort.

Just choose. Get moving. And have fun.
I wouldn't do any i18n or l10n. It increases complexity and it's very expensive. It's also difficult to get things right unless you have someone familiarized with the target audience's culture.

Also, isn't CSS support for RTL languages kinda iffy? I've noticed that in newer versions of the spec they've begun using start/end rather than left/right, which I'm guessing is meant to help when creating bidirectional interfaces. But how well supported are these changes?

My first language is Spanish. No idea what percentage of my software supports it since I never check. I always prefer using English. Not having a Spanish option has zero impact on me.

I'd be interested in hearing arguments from the pro-i18n/l10n side. I actually have lots of questions about why certain things should be supported at all. For example, why should we support +10 different calendars instead of making everyone use ISO 8601?
Very different protocols!
> We need more people teaching math through visual intuition.

I would modify that slightly and say rather just through "intuition". Visualization helps a lot, but you can also have great intuition from situations, stories, feelings, etc (anything that hits the non-reasoning part of the brain i.e. your "gut feeling"). IMHO one of the biggest problems in mathematics and science education is that we spend too much time working on things which humans are bad at (precise calculations) and far too little doing the 'rough estimation' and 'intuition' work which we have been evolutionarily optimized for and which is essential to us for actually remembering and understanding how things work.
Wouldn't it be great if GitHub and GitLab, etc. had donations baked in?

This is single-threaded? What are you going to do with the other 31 or 63 cores?

The single-threaded nature of applications liked Redis an Haproxy is a singificant impediment to their vertical scalability. CPUs aren't getting faster, we're just going to get more cores, so anything that assumes there's only a single core seems like a dead end.

Haproxy literally just added multithreading support in 1.8.
Love the gardening/farming metaphor. I also use it in the context of investing in myself and those around me, not necessarily for immediately perceivable results.

You're talking content. I'm talking neurobiology.
But this isn’t true. You have a lot of control over your life. You just should keep your goals realistic, which is a completely different thing.

If you set a goal to be your own boss, to save money to travel the world, to reach financial independence / retire early, those are all “big” goals that can give purpose to your life.

You have a tremendous amount of control over your own life, to shape it and achieve happiness. It’s just that many people are too busy with distractions to see the bigger picture and plan accordingly.
House of Cards could have ended 2 seasons ago, at episode 52, but the producers got greedy and decided to milk the storyline for hours with Doug/useless story arcs that didn’t contribute to the main plot.

Not defining a metric for success is important. Be happy with the small steps, not the large leaps.
I agree with you on the ¨they already are using WeTransfer, or Dropbox for that matter. Why should they switch to this? Because it's decentralized? Now you have to explain to them what that means and why that's beneficial to them, and if you're successful there, they still have to: trust the code (and they only can do that by understanding it) and trust that you're actually deploying that code on your live interface.

But is it a good argument?
Can you elaborate? post some links or references? Sounds interesting.
This makes me think of the George Carlin joke: "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"
I never heard this about books, but this has always been my understanding of modern art. An entirely-red canvas is meaningless and valueless on its own; but in its context as a response, in a specific cultural time and place, to artistic trends of the time, one particular entirely-red canvas is quite valuable indeed.

It's much more akin to objects (including books!) signed by people: the value of the object is that the object participated in some part of history, rather than anything about the object per se.
It's not badly designed, though. It's a button on the TouchBar just like any other. If OP is accidentally hitting it all the time then they added it in a poor location. I have a completely customized TouchBar (thanks to Better Touch Tool) and I have never accidentally hit a button. He's blaming the hardware for user error.
They're not the same I agree. Which is why saying art is trivial and by implication disposable as compared to science is not IMO a healthy way to look at it. They are two sides of the same coin the way I see it. Through both we ultimately seek to understand reality inside and outside ourselves. I mean think about... why do we look at the stars? Why do we want to visit other planets? Why do we want to understand molecules and atoms? It's not all for the mere utility of being able to control materials and forces and therefore make our lives physically comfortable, though it's obviously a very important side effect. The core reason is we want to understand the meaning & beauty underlying reality, and art tries to do the same in a different way. So the way I see it, loss of STEM knowledge will set us back materially, while loss of all art and philosophy will set us back equally grievously in another sense.
For some reason reading the API docs of js-joda gives me flashbacks to Java programming. Maybe it's all the "public static" stuff. Maybe it's that I can't immediately see how to do something useful. Some examples would be nice.

> But I don't believe this app is using any actual seeding mechanisms of IPFS from a user perspective

I'm not sure what you mean here. Any user can "seed" any IPFS file they want, they don't need anything from this service.

> in which case it would be no different than a centralised solution

A distributed solution with N=1 isn't the same as a centralized solution. The difference is that distributed solutions can easily increase N, but centralized solutions can't. In this case, you can distribute the file from as many nodes as you control, which makes this service much better than a centralized solution.

> Also, when you use this app, you aren't doing this through an IPFS node to then be able to seed it

Sure, but you can use something like www.eternum.io (or just run your own IPFS node) to fix that. If you don't want to do either, of course you won't have any of the advantages. It's like saying "cars aren't better than couches, they aren't much more comfortable and they don't run if you don't start the engine".
It's not nearly as simple as you claim.

First: if you have an epoll loop it is also the cost of the thread context switch, which has definitely us in RPC systems using kernel threads. By contrast the goroutine gets scheduled onto the kernel thread that answered the poll, saving the switch.

Second: as I alluded to earlier, linux and solaris can scale their kernel thread implementations, not all OSs can. My experiences with large numbers of threads on the BSDs and Windows (in years past admittedly) suggest other kernels don't have thread implementations designed to scale to such high numbers. Solving the problem in userspace means Go programs written in this style are portable across operating systems.

Third: you can only adjust stack sizes down if you know your program always keeps its stacks small. If you depend on libraries you don't own in C/C++, that's a difficult assumption. Go grows the stacks, so if you hit some corner case where a small number of goroutines need some significant amount of stack, your program uses more memory, but typically keeps working. No need for careful (manual!) stack accounting.

If all this were as easy as you say, we would still write nearly all our C/C++ servers using threads. We don't because it's not.

Actually it sounds like OP is looking for something in NodeJS.

I'm also interested in a NodeJS version of something like that even though express is very straightforward once you've worked out all the modules you need.
Unfortunately that's only a partial solution. Some languages produce much longer text than English, either by using more words or just longer words. If you design the UI with only English text lengths, then you'll still need to redo the UI layout. Similar problems for languages which aren't read from left to right like English.

The article hardy makes any sense. You can't make a fusion of bottom quarks because they don't stick together. Reading the abstract of the paper, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v551/n7678/full/nature2... the reaction is

Lambda_b + Lambda_b -> Xi_bb + n

(up+down+bottom) + (up+down+bottom) -> (up+bottom+bottom) + (up+down+down)

This makes sense because each quark is inside a baryon with three quarks.

They say this is equivalent to the fusion of

D + T -> He + n

[proton+neutron] + [proton+neutron+neutron] -> [proton+proton+neutron+neutron] + neutron

[(up+up+down)+(up+down+down)] + [(up+up+down)+(up+down+down)+(up+down+down)] -> [(up+up+down)+(up+up+down)+(up+down+down)+(up+down+down)] + (up+down+down)

The analogy is very very very week. They are very different reactions.

The worse part is the total linkbait title. If you somehow magically can create a lot of Lambdas_b, in a very small time all of them will get transformed into protons, electrons and a lot of gamma rays. If you have enough you will have a nice explosion.

But if in the middle of the transformation they collide and produce some Xi_bb, the Xi_bb's will decay soon into protons, electrons and a lot of gamma rays. You don't get more energy because some of the Lambda_b get temporaly transformed into Xi_bb, the final energy is the same, so the risk is obviously zero.

For comparison, Deuterium is stable and Tritium is almost stable, so you can produce and accumulate them conveniently. And a bunch of Deuterium and Tritium will not cause spontaneously a nuclear explosion. But if you convince them to undergo fusion, you get a nice explosion. The final products are stable Helium and almost stable neutrons, so this reaction is enabled because Helium exist, so D+T->He+n is interesting.
