Actually most of the “new” (last three years) UWP Windows 10 UI is C++, and there is more JavaScript/HTML than .NET Native. The Xbox dashboard is .NET Native though and all of us on the Windows UI team are jealous.

The problem that we have is that we have so much infrastructure around C++ that it is expensive to switch. Even if you get faster compile times or theoretically less memory management bugs, you may lose the productivity in other ways if the rest of your tooling isn’t there.

With C# you definitely pay a small cost in memory consumption and a decent cost in binary size vs. C++ though, which still matters.
Awesome! Looking forward to it.
What incentive do journalists have to not be biased? They are people and have opinions. Even if the opinion isn't explicitly stated, they often frame the story to inject opinions by withholding contextual information. I see this a lot in topics I'm an expert in. Stories are often biased to maximize rage/excitement to elicit more user engagement.

I think the tools for measuring engagement have led to optimizing toward misleading click bait, and I would say that just about all of America's large media outlets are prone to this (to varying degrees).

I did notice that a lot of Objective-C's uncertainties were paved over when the years passed. Most libraries feel a lot more Swift-y but there are some problems and it's a pity that Storyboards are one of them. I hope they'll revise the system some day.
People grow up. I had my crimes expunged after 13 months of probation as a teenager. I went to college, stopped hanging out with bad influences, realized and cultivated my potential, moved across the country. I guess internally I sometimes still think about the things I did, but I'm glad I don't have to answer for it to anybody else. It seems so long ago and so radically different from my life now that I can't relate to it and it definitely doesn't feel like it defines who I am. I'm glad I'm not a Supreme Court pick. I am more aware of how situations affect people. Or at least me. I could easily see myself hanging around the same people and getting into more trouble. But at the same time, there was a reason I wanted to leave so badly and there's a reason I rarely go back. Maybe that is what should define me.

This happens to me. My wife is in military so has little time to do any events, doc appts, or parent-teacher conf’s with/for our children. So i do all those things. But the school admins, teachers, and docs all comm with my wife even after years of not ever seeing her in person and only interacting with me personally. Its like having a middleman when trying to schedule appts. They call her she texts me for open date and times and she sets the schedule after I respond.

Spot on. Which information is provided, what order it’s provided in, and the context around it’s delivery is often MORE important to uncovering the clear bias than the actual words being delivered.
I hear ya. I recently worked with a customer using ASGs and the scale down part of the ASG does need to make subscription-manager calls to avoid leaking subs. Also makes blue-green cluster upgrades more interesting as well.

Good point. It's a different number, but a relevant datapoint anyhow. The last filing shows a gross profit margin of 15%.

It's a different number because it includes cost of the sale infrastructure. Unfortunately, it's for the quarter ending in June, so the volume of model 3 is still not very relevant against the other models.
> Is it realistic to presume that space debris orbiting around the earth will only ever get worse, or will it effectively remain the same to some degree of consistency?

Debris in high orbits isn't a big issue; there's too much space. Debris in low orbits falls out of the sky on a timescale of ~decades, thanks to aerobraking. So it should be constant, given a constant inflow of debris...

However, that is only true so long as collisions remain rare. Once there's too much debris, Kessler syndrome will cause it to 'breed' and close the orbitals for decades.

The above also doesn't account for super-popular high orbits, i.e. geosynchronous. A sufficient amount of debris in that orbit could close off that one for millennia (or until cleaned), but at least there are alternatives.
To deploy a Python program as something that looks just like if a C program + a C library was deployed, is a nice option to have.

The "who wears short shorts" music video he linked is where I started to think the shorts were really getting to him. In his defense there was a lot of negative spin likely originating from his short sellers, who had the largest short position of any stock I think.

Most companies CEOs are really careful and always act like nothing is wrong even as the ship sinks. In interviews Musk was refusing to answer certain questions from reporters accusing them of being from his short sellers, it all makes me wonder if the financials aren't so rosy.
Rumor is that he's been on a stimulants / sleep aids cycle working ludicrous hours. You can only sustain that for so long before your brain throws a rod and starts banging and chugging and emitting a lot of smoke.

There are tweets in support of this, like him talking about Ambien.

https://www.cnet.com/news/elon-musks-strange-strange-ambien-...

Ambien is known to produce some weird states of mind. I used it briefly and can attest to this, though I never got a visit from the walrus:

https://ambien.blogspot.com/2010/12/ambien-walrus-collection...

I admire Elon a lot, and I hope he takes a break and gets his head sorted. When I first heard about the tweets causing the SEC to sue I speculated to my wife that his subconscious mind had engineered this event to force him to take a break as some kind of mental self-preservation circuit breaker.

Going a bit off-topic, I can't access this CloudFlare blog using a Tor browser (using the "standard" security level) without a CAPTCHA.

Didn't we discuss just last week an article[0] by CloudFlare where they said they'd solved this problem and Tor users wouldn't need to solve CAPTCHAs for CloudFlare-fronted services anymore?

What happened to that? I've actually seen way more CloudFlare CAPTCHAs through Tor since that article came out.

Shame on them for choosing the wrong option. We should just stop having elections.
I believe that the NYT knows they're biased and actively tries to conceal that (with articles such as this one). They also try to manipulate their readership and general discourse.

So I'd say it goes beyond just regular, every day human psychology and into sociopathy or whatever the organizational equivalent is.

That's good feedback! Cross browser testing is important for many companies (my past companies included), so if you find them valuable, the question becomes how often they should run. They tend to be expensive and slow, so they're often only run once a day or week, while running a quick pass with Chrome or Firefox much more often (on every pull request if possible). Browsertron is built for running your tests in CI against every build. The development loop is when you want the fastest feedback, so that's what it optimizes for.

Changing where your tests run should be as easy as swapping out the connection string, so you could run really quickly against this, then swap out the string for your cross browser tests.

I think this merits a blog post on cross browser testing strategies, thanks!

Maybe the evidence is very clear and easy to get.
Not an apples to apples comparison there, but even if it were; is your argument now that we should let Elon get away with breaking the law because others have gotten away with it in the past and you happen to respect Elon more than those people?
That's backwards. People are found to assign a bias based on the source irregardless of the content. Do I trust articles from FoxNews less just because they are from FoxNews? If so, that's a bias on my part.
By now, the SEC has already investigated this throughly. They’ve interviewed relevant witnesses, reviewed relevant documents, etc. The case is straightforward (the tweet is public record, interviews would quickly reveal there was no deal in the works). So the SEC has what it needs; the case will turn on Musk’s defenses. Since the ball is in his court, there is no reason for the SEC not to move forward quickly.
Even though it still triggers an export, this behavior has gotten a lot better in Mojave. Whereas previously one could only really drop images on Finder windows (Desktop counts as well) it now works in many different applications. Not quite everywhere, but at least it works most of the time and I don't just not even try it.

I use it to log errors on API calls in my projects. It comes in handy when I'm using third-party services and they decide to break something on their end.
Magnetic fields tend to decay with distance from the source which helps.
It's not even a question of incentive, it is, as you (almost) said simply a natural part of being human. While there are a number of biases, the key one (for me) seems to be confirmation bias.

In the case of journalism and (say) voting. The act of voting, like it or not, creates (and/or acknowledges) a bias. Of course, this applies to everyone as well.

As a side note, of sorts, earlier this year I read the book "The Influential Mind" by Tali Sharot. While she didn't address it directly she explains quite a bit of the dysfunctional discourse in todays (digital / social media) world.

> Under the terms of the deal, Musk and Tesla would have had to pay a nominal fine, and he would not have had to admit any guilt. However, the settlement would have barred Musk as chairman for two years and would require Tesla to appoint two new independent directors, reported CNBC's David Faber, citing sources.

I don't think the fine was a problem here for Musk.

Yes, but Apple didn't take away anything from Microsoft, so where's the connection? Their "users don't care" attitude on software worked out. Pretty much nobody in business is switching over to Mac OS (or iOS) and Numbers. Both companies are barely even competing in the same markets.
It would be great to see webassembly on here as well! (Maybe hand-written and compiled from a few different languages.)

MarkMonitor supports UF2, Cloudflare does not.

U2F allows you to secure your account with hardware tokens, such as Yubikeys.

Cloudflare does support "soft 2FA", which is two-factor authentication using apps, which is good, but could be vulnerable if a remote hacker gets hold of your 2FA secret by, for instance, compromising your password manager.

If you are keeping it only in the app but lose or break your phone, you will have to go through a verification process to regain access to your account. This process is, itself, a huge target for hackers.

For protecting domains that are important to your business - and, indeed, protecting your Cloudflare settings - nothing beats having two hardware tokens associated with your account, each located in a separate, secure location. They are inexpensive, do not need to be recharged, are almost impossible to break, are easily hidden and, if you lose one, you can use the other until your replacement arrives.
At an abstract level -- that is to say, assuming an actual base-12 numbering system -- this may well be the case.

Unfortunately it's a claim often made by people who are preemptively nostalgic for imperial measurements, while simultaneously addicted to base-10 number systems, but who can't quite get past the incompatibilities of the two combined.

Beyond that problem there seems to be an underlying belief that using decimal points, and/or accepting any kind of rounding, is some kind of unforgivable concession.

Well, if you want a clear example of what I mean, Jetbrains makes a plugin for Kotlin for their IDE and another one for Eclipse. They don't make one for Emacs. The Emacs community has to make it (maybe they do, I don't know).

Look at any tool (except for GNU or Lisp stuff) and try to see how many of them have Emacs plugins made directly by the tool authors.

Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, Atom, etc., tend to have plugins made directly by the tool authors, in many cases.
Speaking only for myself, I have no problem with windows/screens or mouse/taps being different. The parts that baffle me are those which have nothing to do with the different interaction models, and are simply different for no apparent reason.

NSColor/UIColor are different, and it's not like one color class is better for windowed versus non-windowed colors. NSBezierPath/UIBezierPath perform the same task yet often the same methods have different names.

I've wasted a bunch of time making extensions so that one OS's classes would look like the other (annoying but not difficult). The fact that every developer has to do this is just silly. Apple's own WWDC video on iWork essentially says "Because we wanted it to be cross-platform, we avoided drawing the standard way, and draw all content using CALayers instead".

If Apple did nothing else but make the parts that work identically be named identically, that would be Marzipan enough for me.
> why do you need an origin at all?

At the point that CF replaces the origin, it is the origin.

The confusion in your query is the idea that "origin" is a rigid, fixed concept rather than flexible.
It's more about the UI than the specific layout; no-one ever complains about Finder's 'uninspired' sidebar/main content layout. The inconsistencies which make the App Store feel alien on the Mac are what gets me. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but the App Store seems almost entirely keyboard-unaccessible.

As far as I know in developed societies trade hasn't been conducted using precious metals directly in quite a long time and at a scale completely different from the modern globalized economy. The closest we had was the gold standard (and other precious metal pegs) but those routinely broke in case of crisis. As far as I know the only serious economists advocating for the gold standard nowadays are the "Austrian school" which are generally seen as pretty controversial.

I'm not sure how Bitcoin relates to the gold standard exactly though. On its own it can't be debased, but on the other hand it's not tied to anything physical so what happens if a government decides to "fork" it into a new currency (which increased supply for instance) and use that to pay public workers and raise taxes? Wouldn't that effectively do the same thing as debasing the currency? After all bitcoin is effectively a pure concept. Those are interesting questions but I lack the economic knowledge to answer them.
> (As an aside, one of the great mistakes of standard measurements IMO is that we reduce all our fraction. the alternating 1/2,33/66,17/32,35/64,9/16, etc is awful. We could have just kept everything in 64ths and then just used the numerator.)

This is what normal people do with metric / decimal.

Everything's in thousands (/1000's) of a metre -- ie. millimetres, or mm.

I had this argument recently with someone about John Oliver. They said it was as good as the news because he provided sources. I stated truthfulness was 1 of many dimensions about being unbiased. Which facts he presents, in which way, and when he presents them are actually equally important.
> What happens when I write to the same key simultaneously from multiple workers and/or multiple edge nodes?

It's eventually-consistent. Eventually, one of the writes "wins".

If you do a read/modify/write in the context of processing a single request from a Worker, we'll automatically apply optimistic concurrency so that the write fails if another write has occurred on the same key concurrently.

But otherwise, yes, the ability to handle transactions is limited. For now, Workers KV can be used for a variety of use cases but is not a full replacement for a database.

Workers KV is only the first of multiple storage-related projects we're working on. Stay tuned. :)

The main problem that I see is that relational model / sql is ALWAYS coupled with RDBMS, even with the proponents of the relational model!

The thing is, sql is much less capable then even forth. You can't do:

query = where a = ?1
columns = [name, id ]
console.write(columns ?rename name as a |> query)

not even

console.write

not even

Window.open

neither store table in a field (not serializate it, store) create your btree, make open gl game, make a osx app, create a rdbms and so on. (yes, i'm aware some rdbms could, hacking around, kind of do it witth pain)

In short, the relational model is not see as something that can be made for a full language WITHOUT RDBMS.

That is what I wish to change:

because I work before as foxpro developer and see how easy and logical was to work with tables without sql.
