Isn't the memory use itself a big problem on modern architectures? Or has it gotten better lately since CPU clocks have been relatively flat and memory clocks have been creeping up? The problem with the "allocate-and-discard" model of programming in the past is that it thrashes the hell out of the cache, which means lots of trips to main memory, which is slow on modern machines.

When you get an article like this going "holy shit, where have you been all my life circular buffers" it emphasizes the point. You wanna go fast you have to avoid invalidating cache as much as possible.

I thought the argument was that rockets spend a lot of fuel just getting through the thick low part of the atmosphere, which is the same point at which they're heaviest. Skip the start & you need less fuel.

"Come up" is my short form for the process in which AIs are built.

Genetic Algorithms for Function Maximization – A Python Package
Genuinely curious, regarding this as well as the complaint in the article -- what should these stores do with the clothes that don't sell? It sounds like shipping them overseas is bad and throwing them away is bad.

I'd assume there are large amounts clothes that don't end up selling and the only thing I know what to do with clothes I don't want anymore is donate them to Goodwill!
There should be some practical purpose for this, like some Win-95 only app I loved from my childhood that I can now experience again. But I struggle to think of any.
It's a dumb semantics argument about using the phrase "come up."
Glad to see an Electron application that finally has a decent, native-looking, unsurprising UI :-).

(Edit: sadly, I'm only half-joking. I was thinking about how fun it would be to extend this so as to bridge the host and the guest via e.g. a socket, so that I could get notifications about UI events inside the machine on the host, which would give me Visual Basic 6's UI builder and all the greatness of a 21st century machine, so that I could finally whip up an UI without yelling profanities at the CSS reference and in less than umpteen hours of tinkering with stuff that clearly just wasn't built for this. Thing is, halfway through, I really began thinking this might make sense a little and that depresses me. /done editing)

That being said, if anyone's curious what else can be achieved in this manner, there's a bunch of nice demos here: https://github.com/copy/v86 .
You recommend LWT, but the book you recommended teaches Async instead. The split between with libraries to use (e.g. stdlib vs Base) has been frustrating as I’ve been learning and needing to look up documentation.

If GCHQ access is assumed a common "feature" of both Facebook and "GovBook" then it's irrelevant when choosing between the two.

I don't quite remember, but e.g. this online shop https://www.hashop.nl/Shuttle has them for e460 = USD533 (includes 21% VAT). But it must depend on the length, and on whether you need special shapes (e.g., I have two bay windows), so YMMV.

Sounds like a lot of money, but out of all automated things, the curtains are the things of which I most often think 'that is very convenient, glad I spend the time and money'. Most other HA things are fun to play with, but not really all that important (in my experience).

I'm thinking of moving to Japan myself. Really enjoyed visiting it as a tourist. I learned the language for my side-project and planning to take a language proficiency test this December. Anybody need a Python programmer who worked at Yandex?
Japanese grammar structure is almost total inverse of English, worse, it has particle 'screws' system to make sense of any sentence.

Japanese vocab is not robust to noise, i.e. it is high-entropy. Unlike English, there are tons of homophones, plus, its intolerance to dropped/swapped phonemes usually lead to words confusion and incomprehensible sentences to beginners

I'm pretty sure VSCode is actually React-Native, not Electron. So there isn't the overhead of a full Chrome instance like there is for Slack or Atom.

Let’s agree to disagree then, because my point is that they were just called “flatrate”. I even just found this article describing “the first flatrates”, which also just calls it “flatrate” without any qualifier throughout the article, but makes it clear from the beginning that a flatrate is, in itself, unlimited: https://www.netzwelt.de/news/76329-verkehrte-netzwelt-erste-...

Finally, I remember the “Alkohol-Flatrates” that came up in clubs a few years later (and were, unsurprisingly, soon outlawed). Their point was that you could get a theoretically unlimited amount of drinks for your cover charge of typically 15DM or so. In practice that’s a stupid idea of course. I tried it once at the behest of a coworker: The drinks were atrocious, the floor was covered in a thick grime of “free drinks” and the crowd consisted of the type of people who would be attracted to an “alcohol flatrate” in the first place.

It doesn't sound like you understand how memory Management in Java works. In Java, you have a defined heap size. Java will claim memory in order to support that heap. If you are unhappy about how much memory it is using, you can change the heap size.

Speaking of problems, in my opinions the three biggest are:

- Lack of automatic multicore scheduling, this is going to be solved with OCaml multicore project [1]

- Lack of updated GUI libraries. There is LablGTK [2], but it stuck to GTK+ 2 version. The main developer started [3] to work on GTK+ 3 version support, but it is still at the very beginning.

- Bad Windows platform support [4] (grep for "Windows" word at this page) and [5]. With upcoming opam-2.0 [6] release the support will be slightly better though.

> which would be probably less than 1% as numerous as the "Many computer users" that run javascript.

So? Many does not mean most. There's a choice to be made, apply the security patch and accept the performance loss, or don't. Some people may not need to to remain close to as safe as they were previously based on their configuration for some of their systems, and I would guess the number of systems easily numbers in the millions. This is a benefit for those people, and worth mentioning, even if it's not nearly a large a number as the total number of CPUs or customers.

If you really want to talk comparatives, a charity like Doctors Without Borders spends 89% of its intake on the services it delivers rather than admin overhead.

There is no valid reason for a charitable organization to be unloading 57 million dollars on bonuses. None whatsoever. The most charitable (ha) thing you could say is that Goodwill is ridiculously and willfully ineffecient.
I use Core/Base library but rarely use Async. In my opinion and experience (though a short one), Lwt has more features and better maintained by the community.
I don't want to get into a political argument, but just for the record, the BBC is not a government news network. It is funded via tax, but it is independent.
Your very own link lists other major philosophers and thinkers (including Thomas Jefferson) who disagree with Karl Popper's conclusion on paradox of intolerance! There is _no_ universally agreed upon answer to the paradox of intolerance; I do not know why people keep pretending that there is.

(I will also observe that, where the article notes: "Popper asserted that to allow freedom of speech to those who would use it to eliminate the very principle upon which they rely is paradoxical.", it clearly applies to those who wish to (quoting from your post) "...call out intolerant views and actions and work towards eliminating them".)
Diablo 2, Anno 1607
Caseta is the way to go.

I HAD a mix of Elgato, iDevices, Belkin, and Insignia switches and outlets, added ad-hoc based on promotional pricing and free time.

It was an unreliable mish-mash with varying levels of compatibility with iOS, Android, and Alexa. Seeing or hearing "The device is not responding" was common.

I scrapped it all and went Caseta for everything, giving every device a "one last chance" and swapping it out with a Caseta device if it failed to do what I told it to do. My home is now 100% Caseta. I haven't had an unscheduled outage since the the hub was installed.

This stuff is going to be in your walls for years. Pay the extra $25 per device.

Also, throw your wire nuts in the trash and use Wago lever connectors every time you unscrew a wall plate to replace something.
It's interesting to note that the Geneva convention does not allow this treatment in the case of POWs. Wikipedia says German POWs in the US during WWII were required to be paid military wages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_prisoners_of_war_in_the...
and it's worth looking at what effect just the existence of the BBC has on other news and media here in the UK.

Take the childrens television the BBC produces - extremely high quality and very low cost. Raises the bar for all other (private) childrens television production.
The rocket equation is nasty. Adding a bit more energy requires exponentially more effort. This is why orbital rockets are staged: past a certain point, you hit diminishing returns with making a single stage bigger and bigger, and it works out better to stack it on top of another stage that does the extra work.

Think of the airplane part of this as an efficient, highly reusable first stage with poor performance.

That was at the last town which was a bit larger. I was still inside the town and thought I had to keep the low speed till I encountered the end of town sign as the biergarten guy told me. Additionally I thought the signage less than optimal: rather small signs behind bushes and so on. Once or twice I saw the speed cameras before the sign. So that's why I felt it's their own fault.
Actually we'd appreciate it if you wouldn't bring the hot flames of the day into some completely unrelated thread, thus starting them up there and hijacking the discussion. That has the same effect as trolling.

It's especially important not to this when the topic is a subtler one, because those can so easily get trampled.

Maybe it's just that my phone (Nexus 5X) is getting old, but Snapchat is probably the worst Android app I've ever used. Not sure how the iOS experience is.

Let's go down the list:

- Extremely Slow/Laggy UI

- Battery Suck (mainly because it auto turns on location services, etc.)

- Sometimes soft bricks my camera (need to restart in order to use my normal camera app)

I only use it to stay in the loop of my family members, maybe I should start campaigning everyone to switch to Instagram.

I'm not sure that ragging operation in and of itself is a bad thing. If the clothes aren't useful, that seems to be the next phase of life for textile.

I've done some work with smaller charitable orgs sorting through donations and the policy was essentially that if it wasn't at minimum something you'd wear to a job interview at a fast food restaurant (think clean jeans/polo shirts) then it went in the trash. Sadly this was the vast majority of donations as people tended to use the donations as a dumping ground for things they couldn't throw out themselves vs giving items that would actually help people down on their luck.

I got an SSD in 2012, and was miraculous, like everyone who's done it can say.

Aside from that, 2008 was probably the biggest jump. Going from a mediocre laptop to a custom built ~$2500 desktop with a Core 2 Quad and (especially) 24" monitor was astounding. I'm never going to make a laptop my main machine ever again.

Just wanted to say as a 20-25 year old, snapchat is still extremely popular among people I know. The perception is snapchat for friend's daily lives, instagram for following celebs/creators and permanent posts, facebook for events and extended family, and messenger for email/wechat/whatsapp functionality. It's the primary way I keep in contact with acquaintances, and many other people I know are the same.

It's a more intimate version of social media that is typically only used by smartphone-savvy people and it's perfect for this. I see nothing besides my friend's content and a few ads between viewing their stories, while instagram inserts ads and algorithmically sorts content in the feed. Once I go through every one of my friend's stories, there's nothing to keep me on the app and endlessly scrolling like instagram. To me and others, insta is intentionally addictive Posting permanent posts there about your life can sometimes come across as vain, while snapchat is more of a window to view your friend's world through and gives very open statistics like who has seen a story, if someone has opened a snap, etc.

I have my problems with snapchat, like poor android support, slow startup time, bloat, and sponsored stories on the right side are tabloid trash. But it's still very heavily used in America. Most friends outside of the US say that it declined in use in their European or african countries like a fad, but it's become a standard in the US. Those of you saying it's useless besides teenagers using it to sext or not knowing anyone above 18 that uses snapchat look out of touch or like you're pushing an agenda. It might be declining but it is still a large force and very used!

The error here is assuming that BIA cares at all about Burning Man, which it likely does not. Burning Man is simply a high-traffic road where traffic stops cannot be avoided, permitting them to search every vehicle without contest.

This reeks of a deal where BIA offered a bribe in exchange for permission to perform traffic stops and searches from the local police, and they’re confident they can execute a full set of searches on a captive audience before a judge lays out an order requiring the bribe (and accompanying contract) to be divulged.
Most people living under capitalism, especially workers, have an open-ended incentive to downplay their public concerns over employment abuse. Their future employment opportunities likely depend on it. I don’t know if that’s the case in the blog post, of course, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Tangentially, I wonder if this is the most harmful side effect of privacy concerns.

On the YAML front: we've added support for configuring integrations via the UI, no YAML involved[1]. However each integration will need to be adopted individually for this. YAML will still be around for power users and people who like to use version control.

For Z-Wave: the current integration is based on openzwave, a reverse engineered implementation of the Z-Wave protocol with an irregular release interval. As we depend on their releases, it's out of our control.

However, there is hope :) Sillicon Labs (owner Z-Wave) has recently published an official SDK for Z-Wave[2]. Once Home Assistant Cloud is generating money, the plan is to pay a developer to integrate it into Home Assistant. Once we're on an official stack, I expect our Z-Wave story to improve significantly.

For me it's this game: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordor:_The_Depths_of_Dejeno...

It is only playable on Windows 95 (and probably 98 and ME) and I have a Windows 95 virtualbox just for playing this game! I can't wait to test it!!

As for the game itself? It's an old style dungeon crawler. Very primitive but after you play it a little you just get stuck and want to keep improving your character!
They're not, but they're general-purpose enough that you end up using them in a similar way. When you have higher-kinded types it becomes possible to write very general libraries that are applicable to a lot of different problems. This is great because it means you can reuse the same libraries you're used to in a very different domain, but it can make it harder to learn them because they're not about anything specific.
No. You won't be able to read anything that isn't designed to be read by kindergarteners if you can't read kanji (at least primary-school level [1]). But even learning the most common ones is really useful.
