Many of these open-source databases started as internal projects inside big companies, where Java/JVM allowed for more productivity and cross-platform deployment with more skill reuse of the team. Then they grew from there and now it's too late to rewrite the whole thing.

If you were starting a database-focused company from the beginning than choosing C++ is a better decision, which is exactly what ScyllaDB has done with their cassandra clone. Along with general algorithm and decision improvements, it'll provide 10-100x the same performance at lower latency on the same server.

We're also starting to see more projects written in Go now, which is still a managed runtime but usually better at handling these kinds of low-level systems.

>Motherisk disingenously argues its tests were meant for "clinical" use only

They would've known their tests were being used in a court of law. They could've stopped this and they didn't. I hope they face consequences.
I'm more annoyed that const is opt-in instead of the default.
Though I guess for C++ as a "better C" there wasn't much of an option to do that...
I share this sentiment. I always felt like Redux had the right idea (single store modified via actions), but the API was just making things unnecessarily complicated causing people to either write lots of boilerplate or come up with complicated workarounds.

Here's yet another similar approach, also in 100 LOC https://qubitproducts.github.io/tiny-atom/. Been using it for a year in a few projects.
I never got how that mentality survives, in the majority of companies where I worked that would be a pretty bad evaluation score in soft skills area.
Just believe the parents seems like it may not always be the best policy either. There's some really terrible parents out there. I don't know off hand whether the numbers suggest more people are affeted by bad science and government overreach, or bad parents and government indifference, but I feel this blog is probably on the wrong side of the argument, even if there's areas everyone should agree on (no junk science for example).

Though the blogger doesn't actually say believe the parents, they say believe the mother (well, they say "don't automatically discount the mother" which in context appears to be a weaselly way of saying the same thing) which is a bit more specific. One of the cases seems to involve an accusation from a husband, that the test backed up. So even if the lab was tossing coins to come up with their results, we also have to assume a husband and father lied about his child's mother's behaviour.

I don't have a Twitter account but occasionally arrive on that site through a link.

I concur with the author that retweets are lazy noise. And quite often they reveal aspects of a person's character that I'd rather not know.

Maybe Twitter would be better if it had a technical means of enforcing only original thought. Perhaps some day in the AI future...
Theatres will have to find some other way to draw crowds, or they will be replaced by stores and restaurants that make more money per unit area.

I suspect if they do find some other way, it will be based on some relatively new technology (perhaps already existing, like smartphones, or up-and-coming like some kind of AR), or it would have happened already.

What is HN if not a stream of "retweeted" links. The author of the article seems to think the act of Retweeting is bad, yet xir touches on the real problem - the one of amplifying simple emotions rather than promoting thoughtful content. On HN, most links, like the one in this post, are intended to amplify our thinking . However on Twitter, Instagram and many other social media, almost every post is intended to evoke an emotional response.

| imageboard software | security | sysadmin | Looking for an experienced programmer to make a private community website that consists of customized imageboard and user authentications to discord. It would be targeted to a smaller audience so no competition for other boards... i need someone trustworthy who can show previous work, is interested in the project and can guide with learning the imageboard software/server maintenance. Server must be optimized, secured and taken care of atleast until i learn all the necessary tasks or find a second admin. For an expert these shouldn't be too demanding and none of the coresystems have to be programmed from scratch unless the person wants to but shared imageboard software like https://github.com/fallenPineapple/NPFchan , https://github.com/kennell/imageboards can be used as a base or model. Im able to cover the costs of the server and have a suitable place for it.

CONTACT: ren0[at]protonmail[dot]ch

The features would be as simple as possible and all the unnecessary stuff disposed of. In addition to the basic imageboard features we would need:
- An application system: Admins and moderators can accept or reject applications.
Accept: Send a welcome email with a link to create the user.
Reject: Send a comment about the application in email and offer a chance to edit it/try again.
- Privatecommunity: cut off all connections to the board if the user is not logged in. Frontpage would have info about the site, login form (+ password retrieval), links to the application and discord server.
- Administration: Easy page to manage applications, reported posts, users, bans etc.
- Discord authentication: Users should authenticate to the internal discord channels / role automatically or manually so that when the application is accepted there would be instructions in the account settings on how to do it for example. a command with a discord bot or something like that.
- Mobile compatibility
- Generate invite codes or links for individual or X old users that can be used to register without application.

This is not all, but the most important ones.

Budget is 500€ but note: this is not for someone doing the usual paid work. This is for someone who is interested in the project, wants to help and possibly learn something in the process.

Our purpose is to create a private community type imageboard with a support network that can also help people dealing with depression, social alienation and mental health problems that are increasing globally especially in the youth.

How many places have you visited? For example just the small nation of the Czech Republic is very different every 100 kilometers. People in Prague almost universally understand English and very probably use it daily because it's very common to have foreign friends (that reside in Prague); if you attend university, some classes are taught in English and many of your colleagues are foreign. I work in a company that has 150+ people out of which 10 are Czech. People in Moravia do not generally speak English so well. People in Brno sometimes do. The younger generations all around the republic (that attended primary schools after the Velvet Revolution) generally understand English very well and can have a conversation about work as well as about other topics.
Hans Rosling tackles that question better than anyone in What Stops Population Growth: https://youtu.be/ZnexjTCBksw

His first TED talk on the best data you've ever seen is also worth watching.

It's an important question, but our understanding of what causes population spikes, and how people respond to improved wealth and health in a country, can make us a little more optimistic.
You can't sum up such a diverse place into "continental Europe" and do an average. There are huge cities where everyone speaks English and then a huge bunch of small villages where no one does. Obviously business happens mainly in the cities. It's very probable that the target groups of a B2B startup speak English flawlessly.
Malthus was not wrong at all, we just got lucky in that we were able to grow production faster than the population.

The reason he said fertility had to be an explicit goal is he lived before we learned how to grow the economy faster than the population. I guess you could blame him for not seeing the industrial revolution coming, but given nobody else at the time did either I think it is a little harsh.
> except being commercial

That's the biggest, especially for when it's a Facebook company. Otherwise it works well but can be pricey.

The JVM is getting a new fully concurrent collector though called Shenandoah: https://www.google.com/search?q=shenandoah+gc
Go is a much better choice for systems work. Largely because the GC has a low pause (sub ms) target. I'd still be hesitant to use it for very latency sensitive things, or memory intensive applications. Prometheus, for example, has struggled with golang's memory management (bad memory fragmentation, wasteful memory usage). But I think it's a great compromise if you don't want to deal with memory management.
> Also I imagine if everyone started blocking real retweets like this people would just go back to the oldskool copy-paste method.

Yet, other networks where retweeting (reposting) requires copy-paste has a much lower percentage of this. Anecdotally, almost nobody in my instagram feed are reposting other people's photos or text. There are applications to do so, or one could just copy-paste a screenshot. Yet, most people post only their own photos. On twitter, almost half of the posts I see on the first page are reposted retweets. How does it look for you?

Also, Raising the bar very little would make a huge impact due to the amplification of the network effect.
Vegetarian alternative possible?
It’s called the scientific method.

Unfortunately, the people passing judgment (judges, lawyers, juries) are generally not scientists, and therefore are equally likely to believe the guy with the paedo-dowser as the next guy.

Unreliable witnesses are as old as the justice system - “science” gives them a veneer of respectability now, just as it has in the past.

I see two problems, neither of which have an easy solution:

1) scientific literacy is dire, and worsening. Education helps, but when anti-science sentiment runs rife in popular culture and media, as it does now, education is met with resistance. I have been reduced to a gibbering wreck trying to explain to otherwise intelligent people that science isn’t “just an opinion”, and that astrology and astronomy aren’t “just different, equally valid opinions”.

2) the concept of the jury trial is broken. It used to be that you would be tried by your peers - people who likely knew you, had a similar background to you, could empathise and make judgments based on a clear understanding of your world. Now, you’re tried by strangers who have usually been carefully selected to be as hostile as possible without an outright admission of bias. I think there’s a happy medium somewhere between the two, as there are obviously biases in both cases.
That sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_to_Byzantium
As a Twitter reader, you need to (given the very limited tools) control what comes into your feed. Yes, there's a lot of retweet-based outrage, but a bit of selective removal of people or their retweet ability helps with that. Or muting certain outrage keywords.

Whereas on the other end, the various sorts of Funny Twitter and Weird Twitter and Artist Twitter live off retweets, they're an essential and beneficial part of the experience.

What Twitter have done badly though is collapsed the disctinction between "like" and "retweet" by causing things that you like to appear in the timelines of others. Where they can then also like and retweet it, keeping it alive.

It's often amazing how bad twitter understand how their site is used by its communities. I suppose they focus on the paid "brand engagement" area, which is a social desert.
They probably use a homebuilt admin panel and sw mgmt, and an update brought back in the old root vuln. They don't use cPanel or Plesk.

> I don't understand why these electron editors are popular at all.

IMHO it's the future of IDE's. After years of using vi and Intellij IDEA, I've switched to VS code (which is electron based) and never looked back. I find it as snappy as vi or sublime. I feel more productive because of all the plugins. For e.g. the fantastic https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens

Extending it is really easy using the language server protocol http://langserver.org/ . Our team spent very little effort to build a plugin for our open source project https://github.com/getgauge/gauge-vscode

Electron editors are successful because it's hackable and cross-platform allowing the community to extend and add an impressive list of plugins.
> it basically creates a massive DOM for every document

From the OP:

> In Atom, the vast majority of computation of any given frame is spent manipulating the DOM, recalculating styles, and performing layout. To achieve good text rendering performance, it is critical that we bypass this overhead and take direct control over rendering. Like Alacritty and Xi, we plan to employ OpenGL to position quads that are mapped to glyph bitmaps in a texture atlas.

The biggest problem are callbacks from foreign calls back into your moved heap. Called back objects need to stay put, in a separate fixed area. All major lisps with proper FFI support do that.

modules are no big deal, FFI's with callbacks are. And since RMS opposed an FFI for emacs for decades (DLL or OLE/COM support) - there's now a simple internal one for the gtk binding - a moving collector would be pretty simple.

Did anyone else think this article is saying that hair testing is "junk science"?

That's not what the report [1] actually says. The independent review actually found specific flaws in the way the Motherisk laboratory was performing these tests, such as failure to wash hair samples, non standard hair lengths, misinterpretation of test results, failure to communicate the limits of the tests, and the lack of proper forensic procedures such as adequate records, oversight, and chain of custody.

It's not generally possible to do with hand-coded makefiles, because you want to use variables. If you are generating your makefiles, like with cmake, then you can deal with spaces (at least, you can build in a path with spaces in it, and deal with input filenames which contain spaces) because all the paths wind up hardcoded in the makefile (this is one contributing reason to why you cannot move a cmake build directory).

Oracle was one of the first companies to adopt Java.

They used to do presentations together with Sun, had the crazy Network Computer idea together with those Java Stations at Sun, ported their installers to Java, were the first RDBMS to allow stored procedures to be written in Java, had their own JVM, IDE and JEE server long before Sun started to get into troubles.

Have kept Java team together, saved Sun labs, turned the Maxime research work into Graal, are making the effort of supporting AOT compilation (tabu at Sun),....

I am a polyglot developer, and while Oracle could be doing a better job, they surely are doing much better than Sun was doing on its later days.

Who knows, if Google hadn't ripped off Sun and they were getting some Android revenue, maybe Sun would still be around.
I think the main point of handling file names with character code 0x20 in them is for situations where you don't get to pick the file names.

I have a project in which I'm juggling a large amount of files imported from external sources, which need to be variably processed and used as-is and in either case must have their names preserved. I wanted to use Make to handle the dependency chaining, but munging file names when inducting them means that I have to unmunge them on every output. Suddenly you can't just zip or grep -H a selection of some of the files anymore; you have to do a whole dance of copy-and-unmunge-name, clean-up-the-temporary-directory, and so on and so on and.

If I could just assign my own names, I could just as well avoid spaces, if it were purely an aesthetic issue. But it really isn't. You don't often need “something that displays as a space but you still get to decide its representation”, you need “passing through exactly the ASCII space without having to worry about it”, or the interoperability concerns still explode in your face one way or another (if they exist in the first place).
Taking a child away from a family is one of the worst violations a government can subject someone to, all the way up there with imprisonment. The argument isn't a binary choice between trusting the mother or not, it's to raise the bar for evidence significantly - which is what I take don't automatically discount the mother" to mean.

This should be treated like a criminal matter, with the same standards of evidence. If we're comfortable letting a criminal go free of prison because guilt can't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (and we should, for the record), we should be comfortable letting a child stay with its parents until the parents inability to care is established beyond a reasonable doubt. Or at the very least, the parents in question should have a court appointed defence lawyer.
