I'm more familiar with Python than Rust right now, but I feel like after adjusting for amount-I-have-to-look-up-standard-library-things my development speed is similar. The biggest advantage Python gets is IPython.
I took Atom for a ride, found it slower than VS Code. Not converting for the time being.
Using Siri as a timer is one of the more common things people do with Siri. Why would you buy a whole different device just for timers?
I've been a Markdown guy for a long time now, and despite being a long-time Emacs user, I've never really taken the time to learn org-mode.

There was a post from 2014 that was on the homepage last week [0], and it got me _really_ interested in org-mode + ssh sessions.

I keep a daily log in Markdown, as well as a list of tasks that I'm tracking, and the ability to seamlessly describe _and_ execute code locally or remotely was incredibly enticing.

They probably aren't sure yet.
Tree-sitter (intelligent code folding) looks really cool. While I am a big fan of VSCode, I really do not like their indentation-only approach to folding. It makes constructs like C switch statements impossible to fold correctly. Something like:

switch( ) {
case:
break;
case:
break;
}

won't fold at the braces, but instead will just collapse one case statement, and it drives me crazy. This is even with the C/C++ language extensions installed.

Good job Atom.
Indeed - I wasn't clear if the videos mentioned were performances as you describe or footage of friends/family on a public rink. thanks for the extra info.
To preempt the inevitable modern-editor performance flamewar, especially with the introduction of a new parser: Has anyone been compiling statistics on time-to-editable on app startup, non-trivial-project-with-a-bunch-of-tabs open, and standalone-file open, for different Atom, VS Code, and Sublime versions, on freshly-rebooted popular laptop hardware? The closest I can find is from 2016, and isn't representative of large projects or code you'd find in the wild: https://blog.xinhong.me/post/sublime-text-vs-vscode-vs-atom-...

All joking aside, it would be a fascinating analysis; all the rationales for browser performance benchmarks apply here as well.

(And also, kudos to the Atom team for the new tree-sitter parser - very cool stuff!)
I really feel bad about blatant self-promotion; especially in a thread like this about somebody else who is producing video content. However, I think some folks here may enjoy my work.

I have a daily programming stream on Twitch: https://twitch.tv/nybblesio. I stream from 5am-10am MT Monday to Saturday. (I have to take at least one day off or my brain overheats.)

I also archive all of my streams to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaV77OIv89qfsnncY5J2zvg

I have several projects running concurrently and I switch between them each week. This week, I'm working in C++17 for Ryu: The Arcade Construction Kit. Next week, I'll be writing ARM AArch64 assembly language on Raspberry Pi 3. I also have an MS-DOS arcade game project written in 100% x86 assembly language. I worked on that last week. All of these projects are curated into playlists on YouTube if you want to check them out.

That's just unfounded vague fear though. Do you have a concrete concern, or a specific technical scenario where having less mining nodes is a real problem?
I'm surprised they still suggest to "store your github username and password" locally when they could just as easily suggest to "store your github username and auth token".

Even if it's locked in my OS's credential store, do I really want to trust a text editor with my passwords? Why not suggest the more secure option? How sure can I be that none of the atom plugins I use will try to steal it?
Great ideas! Thanks. Sure the PR fixing the typos will be accepted (I'm very slow with PRs usually, but the typos are faster to merge if you follow my hints later). Better if they are small PRs with a few typos fixed because many files are continuously changing otherwise a big huge PR will end conflicting in many places.
Thanks everybody for the feedbacks! I'm going to improve my mic setup :-)
If you don't want to cite your sources, that's fine. However, without a proper citation there is no way to verify the credentials which you have claimed for them or the accuracy of your summary of their position. Your claims that they were "very highly qualified and experienced economists" and "post-doctoral researchers" who "subsequently worked for several years in major City companies you've heard of, both reaching senior positions unusually quickly" are at best an irrelevant distraction, and could be considered an attempt to lend unsubstantiated authority to your own position.

No social media. Just shows up every year or two with something that would be a decade-long project for most people.
As it happens, I just got back from seeing the Monarch grove in Mexico. It's an amazing sight. When the sun comes out from behind the clouds and they all warm up and take off within a couple minutes, the air is so full of them that they darken the sky. And the mountain (in Michoacan province, about 2 hours by car from Mexico City) is beautiful and the people are friendly. If you've seen the Monarch groves on the California coast, Mexico has 2 orders of magnitude more. Well worth the trip.

Our guides, showing WWF slides, told a more optimistic story about numbers. They had declined to very low levels around 2011, but have bounced back substantially. They said the small decline in the last 2 years might be normal variation due to weather. The graphs showed random variation in population by a factor of 2 from year-to-year going back to the 1970s, so it's probably hard to conclude anything from a single year's count.

Still, if you live along the migration corridor, please plant milkweed and don't use glyphosate weed killer.

People are surprisingly heavy per square foot - multiple times the weight of a car PSF.
Your calculation is wrong. One 1070 is able to produce about 1.6 txs, so 100 x 1070 are able to produce 160 txs. For a full transaction you need to do two time POW (send and receive), so if you use the same cards to receive the tx also you are only able to produce 80 txs. Right now I do not think you would harm the network up to about 10k - 50k txs (a simple laptop is able to monitor about 1k txs). So you may want to target at least 10k txs, therefore you would need more than 10k graphic cards at a cost of about $500 each at least, this sums up to $5,000,000 and as I said it is not clear that this would harm the net in any substantial way.

I suppose it's not really an issue unless Google moves into your market? Then I'd imagine it's a massive issue. If the bulk of your traffic is Google, and they stop showing you for certain queries, it's going to hurt.
I think the better question is: during a life-and-death fire rescue effort, is it a better use of time to use Airtable as a backend or to write, deploy, and operate a concurrent editing backend yourself? There's a clear answer here.
I've had success using Airtable with an email flow for an applicant tracking system. I:

-posted a job ad with a specific reply-to email address

-every time an applicant wrote to that email address, a row would automatically be added in an Airtable base

-I would review their application and if I wanted to pass them on to a next step, I would select a pre-defined drop-down value in their row in the Airtable base to mark them as something like "Go" or "No go".

-This would trigger Zapier to send an email to the applicant with instructions on how to take our screening questionnaire in SurveyGizmo

-Depending on the results of the questionnaire, I would select another drop-down value, triggering another email, etc.

It wasn't perfect but it did help me to automate what had been a very painful process.
Very true! Unfortunately, your RPi is going to have only one user in responsible for traffic. Commercial VPN providers act as a multiplexer to hide who is responsible for what traffic. Ideally you'd have at least a Type III anonymous remailer mixing your traffic, but then you're dealing with much higher latency. As with everything, there is a compromise between the effort required to break a security system, the ease of detecting such a break, and the burden of using the system.

I'm not sure what point you're making about colo and transit costs. Are you saying that operating your own has higher costs? Or that a commercial VPN provider has higher costs? I'd be very interested in a price analysis that beats PIA while offering a remotely similar security profile. Keeping an RPi at your house provides defense against totally different threats.

> What was the good idea exactly?

Using tiny amounts of blood to do a whole entire blood workup.

> their (non-existent) tech

Some of it existed. It just required them lying about using other companies' products with a standard volume of blood. The rest of course was entirely made up.

> Anyone can think up some pie in the sky idea.

I agree. I just said the idea was good but unfortunately for her, even being a mega-uber-disrupter-genius like Elizabeth Homes, our level of technology isn't there yet and maybe never will be.
Cool, makes sense, thank you. I just want to talk slower in the next videos, so that it will be easier... at the cost to enlarge the duration a little bit.
You must be granted permission by liquidity hubs who route your payment, because it is a complicated (A wants to transact with C so B signs a transaction with C contingent on an equal transaction between A and B) design.

The alternative, just fucking sending your bitcoin without a trusted third party, is the only viable option. And that requires not trying to mandate a transaction limit through a completely arbitrary and manufactured block size cap
I wouldn't compare Airtable to Google Spreadsheets or Excel for that matter. It looks more like a non-buggy Web 2.0 FoxPro, an RDBMS with a user-friendly UX.
How much slower are web requests vs a live server?

I see that Up has a warming feature - is that sufficient enough to avoid slow requests for you?

Does the reliance on Up as a service make you nervous for using them for production? How much hot water would you be in if they close their doors?

Are you using Up Pro?

I know - lots of questions, but it seems like a neat offering I hadn't seen before, and I can't find any testimonials elsewhere online.
Market forces are what got us into this. Maximizing immediate stock returns demands propping up old tech, cost accounting and offshoring and outsourcing, not investing in research or risky products.

It seems extremely unlikely all 26 of the 28 are going to join the Euro, most of them are dragging their feet over it and I wouldn't be surprised to see some (Italy?) even drop out.

I always thought that talk of ever closer union was scaremongering just like the threat of an invasion of people from Turkey. Possible in theory but the reality is somewhat different.

Trade outside of the EU isn't impossible, Germany sells three times as much to China as we do. If we were really worried about that we would have done something about it years ago. The reality is even in the modern globalised world most of your external trade is going to be with near neighbours.

Personally I think closer union is a good thing in principle but the fly in the ointment is our lack of fiscal discipline. If we had been in the Euro we would probably have suffered as much as Greece has. Even if the vote had gone for remain there was almost zero possibility of us joining the Euro.

This isn't to say the EU is perfect, there is plenty of room for improvement, I just think on balance we were better in than out and there are severe risks if the whole thing collapses.
Yes, this is definitely the power of the video, to explain the same in a blog post would be like a chapter, showing in this case is simpler. I'll consider doing bug hunting recording the whole session, and then editing accordingly (because it takes hours or days... for the interesting bugs).
I think they realize that most orgs that are creating a lot of records will share credentials to reduce cost, so they need multiple tier limits to upsell. I’m okay with this because we share an Airtable login. :)
Title: "A Usable C++ Dialect That Is Safe Against Memory Corruption".

Any questions?
you're both right, but you're a bit more right. IBM should have been pointing out that losing the institutional knowledge may cause problems. they possibly assumed some of their milestones and deliverables would be while working with existing staff. if the existing staff is let go, many of the assumptions in the original estimate are just wrong at that point.
Eye strain will be mitigated with eye tracking and varifocal displays (https://www.roadtovr.com/oculus-research-demonstrate-groundb...), as well as higher resolution. It might still be a problem because you're still staring a screen on your face.

Locomotion is less of a problem than people who think its a problem is, and I think that stems from a lot of people in VR being hardcore gamers, and exploration of large spaces being a core mechanic and selling point for 3D video games for the last 25 years. I don't think omni-directional treadmills or vestibular stimulation or anything inconvenient like that will catch on for locomotion, and I think we'll either use various forms of teleport, or sliding (traditional 3D) locomotion for the foreseeable future, and people will mostly be ok with it. It's possible that with wireless and/or standalone headsets that redirected walking, will be a popular option. You could imagine a headset where Chaperone\Guardian builds on SLAM used for inside out tracking, and can give apps information about the layout of your house, allowing for large procedurally created virtual spaces. This still doesn't solve the problem for people that don't have medium sized private spaces to play in, and also makes it harder to do multiplayer games where players are playing in very different spaces.

Please make sure to report that to PIA support, they do have some solutions available. Worst case, it gives them evidence that it's time to rotate IPs.

Wait there's many examples of regulation overtly benefitting society and protecting its citizens from the harm of greedy corporations. Environmental protections, safety protections, financial/solvency protections, health/drug protections, etc... Surely, it's not "regulation" that's the enemy.

What's stopping bad actors from foregoing these protections in an unregulated/decentralized world? The perfect example of this is what's going on with frivolous ICOs and crypto exchange "breaches" where consumers are losing because their ordinary consumer protections are not being enforced.
You get fucked over.

That, along with hot wallets, is why lightning is a horrific security nightmare. It's not built to withstand adversarial attacks the way bitcoin itself was.

This is inspired to the commodore C64, I just picked a few random colors with the picker in the terminal. Unfortunately I lost the color scheme the previous week while in Tel Aviv, since this color scheme does not work well when projected so I had to switch to B/W and the simplest way was to just modify the current color scheme.
Right; my point was that "there are severe practical consequences for leaving" is exactly the situation with something like github.
That would be correct. I wondered if the problem was me reading things like Wikipedia which says the expected galactic rotation curve should follow something based on Kepler's laws. Then someone got me a subscription to Nature... You know the prestigious "peer reviewed" journal where the serious stuff is. Don't get me wrong Nature had some really awesome content. But there was a paper about a galaxy found in the early formative stages and the authors measured a rough rotation curve and felt the need to compare it to something Kepler would predict. Ugh.

If anyone can tell me why Kepler applies galaxies (vs 2-body systems with certain constraints), I'd be happy to show where the error in that analysis is. Kepler doesn't apply to galaxies. It's really that simple.
I'd imagine this is common with all large IT consultancy services. I had bad experiences with IBM as well as TCS.

And a big part of this is: Where did Google get their data in the first place. Celebrity Net Worth has been torched by Google, for example, because Google scrapes their data without permission and offers it up without compensating them in any way.

This ends up hurting users, because now the company that's actually getting the data isn't getting compensated, if they go out of business, you get worse data. This is the same problem with blogspam sites getting ranked above the real journalists who uncovered the news.

I wish I had the time... In N years hopefully I'll switch into writing much more, now I've a book about C that will never end while I work constantly at Redis for instance. But for now me doing first-hand coding is what the project needs... eventually I may probably switch more to a design figure, but will take time. However soon or later I may take a few sabbaticals, so that I can continue working at Redis as I do now but pausing, for instance, for 1 month every 4 months or alike, doing this kind of projects.

Gold isn’t in all of our electronics over a fantasy. Platinum isn’t a unique catalyst over a fantasy. Neither are fungible only in a fantasy.

You want to participate in web standards groups? You have to use github to do so in any sort of effective fashion.

Same thing for various open-source projects.

The _owner_ of a project has a bit more say in things, though I've heard some people claim that in order to attract contributors a project must be on GitHub nowadays, because many people will fail (or refuse) to participate in any way other than GitHub pull requests.

So I agree with you about Apple and YouTube; I just think GitHub is closer to them than you think it is...

That would be great but it would be more a work of collecting data from other people building things with Redis, and I've very very few interactions with the many people running Redis.
