The downside to that approach is that it limits you to C calling conventions (most language communities are going to want to write in the target language) and means that the process will be as stable as the least stable plugin. Given how many bug reports were filed against every editor which has ever done that, it's easy to see the appeal of containment to the people working on an editor.

The other side of that is that we're not in the 90s with single core processors and there's been a lot of hardware & software optimization over time. Most people can run something like VSCode and a language server and still have multiple cores left over — and since the events which trigger language server interactions are generally made by a human with a keyboard it's not like you need to be in the microsecond range to keep up.
I've done stock trading before, with many of the tools. I'm skeptical of how good a tool for crypto can be. A lot of the reasons for spikes and crashes are emotional, and not really a consistent pattern.

Something like Bitcoin is going so strong because it had gone 'mainstream' and is vulnerable. There are several bubbles going on at the same time, one pops and crashes while the others keep growing. But ETH is still a niche and doesn't really have all the pops and crashes, so one can't just apply the same pattern across all cryptocurrencies.

But it's something interesting if it can be done.

Scrape product information from ebay and other auction sites. Have a machine learning model that compares auction price vs. real price (or usual auction price).

Nothing available yet capable of running Linux. SiFive has a SOC coming soon (https://www.sifive.com/products/risc-v-core-ip/u54-mc/) that will be. Speculation is that dev boards will be available 1st quarter 2018. My guess is that they'll announce (likely on crowdsupply) around Christmas for delivery sometime next yet... but just a guess.

The other option that is coming is from lowrisc.org, but they are a small team so it's taking a long time and have no idea when they might be thinking of delivering hardware.

I can't tell if this is a genuine expression of sympathy for people who, while perhaps wealthy, have suffered significant loss of their time, homes, and heirlooms.

Or if it's a sarcastic jab at these same people who, when other, less wealthy people are suffering, send "thoughts and prayers" via Facebook chain messages instead of sending actions and dollars.

People are cheering at this, but what if we raise the stakes a little: The government lined up 50 random people and executed them, to appease a foreign government that was holding 500x people captive. We're talking houses vs houses, not people vs people, but how is the morality different? Scape goat. Since it is property, the engineers probably assumed they'd be sued, and I bet they knew exactly what they were doing, and it was still cheaper than the alternative.

If you like this, then you should also support eminent domain, where the government can take whatever it wants to make the neighborhood better.

It definitely irks me when people say "oh they're just energy sector republicans", as if political disagreements makes anyone less deserving of rights under the law. Equality, people, is something you must enforce ESPECIALLY when you don't like the person receiving equality. This was a true thing to say to racists in the past, and to republican haters of the present.

To really get side-tracked: Is it okay to hate haters? Are you justified to do to them what they do? No, I would say love your enemy, if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. Your gifts will be like hot coals on his head.

There are quite a few communities around creating free engines for games, such as OpenMW[1] (there are plenty more). With a free engine all of those problems can be resolved.

As for movie copyright, this is the true purpose of DRM -- to try to make copyright eternal by locking away the content behind strong-enough encryption and then licensing the keys. And of course, breaking DRM (even if the content itself is no longer protected by copyright) is a felony.

Zeeland (and other parts of the Netherlands) now have a similar strategy in place - they've spent billions over the years on sea defences, which are absolutely stunning to behold, but have now done the sums and realised they've entered diminishing returns. It's cheaper to let certain areas flood and compensate than it is to build ever more expensive defences.
It's quite long, but I thought it was actually a cliché meta-analysis: presenting the usual items and then asking why they are the usual items.
> There is no reduction in public service capability by the rich having vast sums of money 'offshore'.

This is a strawman. While technically correct, it's completely ignoring the fact that NEW money entering that 'offshore' state is taxed extremely low and is thus in fact draining the system.
I don't care - we need to counter the cynicism at both ends of the scale. For example, it cannot be right that someone that pays into the system their whole lives can then be refused housing in favour of an able bodied person that has paid in nothing and caused their own homelessness by arriving in the UK without a job or means to support themselves. Needless to say the tax avoidance is also disgusting.

There are some very strange situations in the UK at present - for example when a person would actually be worse off by going out to work, or when someone's (viable) career plan involves having a child in order to get a house and benefits.

Given my political views I'm consoled by the fact that the level of welfare spending is unsustainable in the long term. The UK is already going deeper into the red every month, despite supposed austerity.

I doubt Kotlin is a stop-gap measure, and it does a lot more than just give syntactic sugar for null checks. As the comment above you mentioned it's not only JVM, it has a JS backend and a fully native one which is developing very rapidly. Kotlin and Swift have a very significant overlap in language features, and with how strong the Kotlin community is, I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, I would sooner see multiplatform development embracing Kotlin over Swift, given how well it's progressing. Kotlin native hasn't even reached 1.0 yet, and they already made a very convincing showcase of how it can be used to develop server backend + frontend + android + iOS with significant code reuse, and not having to constantly switch language contexts: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlinconf-app

And the new proposed standard would be pretty meaningful, yet hard to determine: "the putative joint employer wields sufficient influence over the working conditions of the other entity’s employees such that meaningful bargaining could not occur in its absence", that is, the franchise owner is considered a joint employer if the employee and the direct employer cannot bargin meaningfully on their own.

But of course this is meaningless in case of a 2 party problem, because it doesn't help determining "employmentship" vs "contractorship".

So what'd be a clear and fair way to test for the quality of work relationship?
What about the boot sequence and driver enumeration? How is this handled in RISC-V? This has traditionally been one of the major obstacles to ARM - you need different kernels for two ARM devices with nominally the same core because of initialisation differences.

Devicetree makes this better but not 100% as simple as the old "legacy" PC boot sequence was. Ironically these days PCs are quite hard to boot too with UEFI.
True, and I'm pretty sure the reason's the same for Linux.

Doesn't affect my opinion on the usability of the platform, though. For my part, I got my work to do, so I ultimately ended up back on a Mac (yet again, ugh) because, for all Apple's recent problems, none of them bother me as much as things like, "I just flat-out can't use this app that I need without a microscope."

Docker on AWS: from containerization to orchestration
It obviously depends on your use-case, but in my case I have the LG monitor recommended for the MPB.

This monitor serves as a secondary display, a laptop charger, _and_ a USB-C hub. I ended up throwing a USB hub on my desk connected to the monitor for keyboard + mouse.

When I get to my desk, I plug in one cable to the computer and everything works. I know that ThinkPad people have had this sort of stuff for ages, but it's much nicer than my old workflow of magsafe + display port + USB setup.
I spent nearly the last decade teaching high school math in public schools in the US and this is my attitude as well. Most of your intended users are adversarial; most students enter the classroom not wanting to learn most of the subjects they are required to. The district I worked in the longest had one laptop per student at the secondary level and we tried lots of different products. What I saw with my students was that those few who were self-motivated would be successful and those that were not motivated would just drag along, no matter how much interaction and gamification was involved. So the outcome was the same as if you just gave them textbooks, except that textbooks don't have the web to distract users.

I can't reconcile these two statements.
I think you're greatly underestimating both the effort of changing a datastore from under a live application and the free time developers in a startup have.
That's true. There's also always the option of treating SDE as an "installation format" rather than "runtime format" and generate optimized code for a given architecture at installation time. Optionally it opens the door for funky things such as generating code instrumented for profile guided optimization first, and in the background/offline continue to optimize the code.

A lot of the people in the UK you hear complaining about benefits are pensioners, the pension budget dwarfs that for benefits, it's the largest part of our welfare state. They don't complain about that gift from the government.

The reality is we have had a rather rabid right wing press for some time, this has led to some people having a distorted view on these things. There was a survey recently which asked people how much is lost to benefit fraud, the answer people gave was 25% when the reality is 0.7%. I don't know about the costs but I can imagine you couldn't get lower than that without spending more than the return.

I try and empathise with their attitudes but I don't want it affecting policy.

I think that there are various reasons to pick DBs.

Blindly picking a SQL DB (mysql/postgres etc.) is quite expensive from the get-go (a production ready mysql/postgres would cost ~30$/m).

Mongo costs ~$10/m (MongoDB Atlas), Google's Datastore is Pay as you Go (so your initial cost is close to $0 till you get paying customers), AWS's DynamoDB is similarly priced as well.

Sure, sadly all those noSQL solutions get really expensive as your usage goes up to normal non-webscale proportions, but at that point you have the $ to invest in a SQL solution.

The above was mentioned with bootstrapped startups/services in mind. Not your usual million funded valley companies.

Such is life. I'd rather have Firefox survive and continue to compete effectively than go chasing after perfect compatibility with those extensions I've also temporarily lost the ability to use until the necessary APIs land.

If Mozilla could have done both, Mozilla would have done both. They could not. I get that that's super frustrating. I'm not happy about it myself, because the change broke my workflow a little as well - until I engineered my way past that, because I'm a grown-ass adult and I solve my problems, or learn to cope, instead of whining about them - and also because I put myself on the hook for a Firemacs reimplementation that can't land for probably another year at best. That's annoying. I get it.

But slinging vitriol on the subject obtains nothing and aids nobody. It makes the people who do it look like jackasses, it makes the people who do the actual work feel like they can't win and may as well not try, and it makes everyone else embarrassed both on the behalf of the whiners and for their own sake in being associated, however loosely, with a community so full of Tumblr-grade drama. It's embarrassing and stupid and pointless and counterproductive and I wish people would stop. There are better ways to spend the same effort - like, for example, contributing patches to the webex implementation. Hard work, I know, and whining is easy. But that doesn't really play in favor of the whining, either.

(Yeah, I get that you're not really a major example of what I'm complaining about. You just happened to be right here when I lost my patience. All the same, though.)
