You yearn for the day when a DBMS uses Prolog for its query language.

Users of that DBMS have the choice to either (1) query seamlessly because they use prolog for the entire application (2) query by "gluing" Prolog to their application language.

How to understand when making a platform makes sense
Apples and oranges. .NET is a higher-level framework for JIT languages (mainly C#). Only last two years (almost 20 years after its inception) has .NET Native come into the picture.

The performance difference between the garbage collected runtime and its C predecessor was too much and initial attempts at the rewrite in C# with Longhorn were a major fail.
That's exactly what makes this formatter so good.

The style is similar to https://www.sqlstyle.guide/, which is excellent.

Syntax highlighting is a huge boon working with SQL, but unfortunately you often find you are working with SQL embedded as a string in some other programming language.

I wonder if programming languages should have a way of specifying that a string constant contains embedded code or a template, so text editors can display it accordingly.

I deal with a lot of SQL embedded in code, and prefer uppercase keywords as it seems to help me visually parse the overall file.
Glad it's only a CEO, imagine what a president could do with Twitter!

As another poster mentioned, this is argument against your bank, not for Bitcoin. Many banks (for example most EU banks) charge zero fees and wire transfers are instant.

It's just incompetence of banking system that this is not supported more widely but there are no technical reasons why it cannot be like this globally for all banks.

So this is not a long term moat for BTC as banks can just become competent one day and this advantage disappears.
Musk is trying to make money, and he says that he is trying to move humanity forward to secure our long term survival. This may very well be true. However, similar statements are often made by people committing scams in order to give investors and the public an excuse to ignore serious signs of fraud. Anyone who gives him a free pass because of his claims of saving humanity is potentially making an enormous mistake. On the other hand, if he really is saving humanity, he should also be able to comply with the law.
Sadly, I would still read and think on all three of those articles.
My roommate received this device too.

Having observed its activity. It doesn't steal any data.

It simply setups a ssh dynamic tunnel and uses your network IP for accessing your Facebook account which you sold.

Why? Because Fb locks the account the moment it's accessed from a different network from a different device.

Can it steal your data? Absolutely yes! Does it steal? Probably no.

Afaik, all they want is your fb account for which they pay you.
Here in New Zealand, retailers will often charge a few percent extra for credit card purchases, and a lot of smaller shops won't accept them at all. EFTPOS (basically like a debit card in the states) seems to be much more commonly used, often with contactless terminals.

It seems to work well - I do have a rewards credit card, but certainly couldn't get by with just that card.
This always reminds me of the alternative : cash [0].

So it seems from the summary that eventually the direct cause of death is the person not eating anything. However there are more than one way why a person might have reached that state. Anorexia is another such example. The title is a bit sensationalist IMO. It's just a case of severe depression/psychological disorder where the person doesn't even eat, which has been known since eternity and documented in countless legends/fables. It isn't some sort of magical/previously unknown process where a person suddenly dies if they give up, etc.
SGI makes machines (SGI UV series) with up to 256 sockets, but obviously not on one board, but as blades with NUMALink connections. (Still a single machine though, not a cluster)
Don't you find something off that you need to reference things that have yet to be resolved to find instances of him acting unjustifiably irrational? Neither statement he made has yet been shown to not be a statement of fact. If he was simply making up things in either case then he will pay, quite literally. If he wasn't then instead this will end up just being yet another 'sky is falling' moment that people will quickly forget before moving onto the next one.
> Duterte was democratically elected.

Yes. That's why I mentioned him. He is a legitimately popular politician with a strong authoritarian streak.

If I wanted to give you other examples of authoritarians, I would have suggested Hugo Chavez, Vladimir Putin, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. They've all had their ups and downs in popularity, but mostly based on economic conditions.

China would have been the most relevant example to use, but it's more difficult to prove popularity without elections. Still, both official approval ratings[1] and anecdotal discussions[2] suggest that the government is particularly popular among those in rural areas who have seen rapid modernization.

Microsoft releases new MSIX packaging format
Someone has to explain that to me. Is the POTUS all powerful and can pretty much say anything?
I looked into switching to yocto a while back for a rpi project I work on. However, one thing that put me off is the end user's inability to install regular debian (raspbian) packages as they will inevitably expect to. But I think that people have used yocto as a kind of docker hypervisor, the openhab project used to do something like that before moving to HassOS. Does anyone know if you can include a minimal raspbian-based docker image in your yocto system which users could then apt-get install whatever extra packages they want? Does that make sense?
Nice to see the different implementations side-by-side. I do believe however that this is mainly a benchmark of startup time and initial JIT of the CRT/runtime/virtual machine/execution environment.

If you remove that time from the equation, I expect that the execution time will not differ a lot from each other.
I mean if you try to build a condo on single family house zone, you will generate too much waste, and water usage for the land if it is not connected to city water and sewage. You simply wouldnt have enough land to naturally draw water from a well, or put sewage water back into the ground.

And if it is, the infrastructre may still not be developed for allowing 10x the number of people as live in a typical family house.

> "Gresham's law ... Bitcoin is the best money that has ever existed"

I think Gresham's Law has been showing us the exact opposite point with cryptocurrencies as a whole - cryptocurrencies are the "bad money" with no inherent value, i.e. no use case yet other than speculation, so people have been trading them away for "good money" (fiat), leading most cryptocurrencies on a long term trend towards zero. The only thing propping up Bitcoin is its pyramid scheme design (disproportionately rewarding early adopters and requiring them to constantly seek new scheme members to counteract its deflationary nature), so the small number of people with almost all the wealth are massively incentivised to protect their wealth by investing in pro-crypto projects, pro-crypto press etc. to convince as many people as possible that it is the "the future of money", "the best money that has ever existed", etc.
Less money means less power.

Why is Nomad & Consul simpler that Kubernetes?
It’s not difficult to someone who has already done the work to understand all the technologies involved. But it’s easy to forget how obscure are all these things to beginers, and how little regular users understand the technologies that underpin the internet they use every day.

You have to understand DNS entries, setting up a server (most linux boxes are CLI only), installing apache, setting up a website in apache, setting up TLS, setting up a way to upload your website, creating your website (minimum html/css, probably some javascript, or learning how to install and configure worldpress). Even if you go the route of a managed hosting you still need to worry about half of those steps.

And between DNS and hosting, it’s not that cheap either.
A consumer (i.e. workplace for people who don't know better) NAS is usually Linux with a few hard drives attached via a cheerful and brightly coloured web UI - occasionally useful, some way short of secure.

I expect someone sells hardened ultra-secure corporate NAS boxes, but I've never seen any in the wild.
So this is not the denouement, he's still on hiatus, the situation is not resolved. It's a real shame that Linus thinks that mouthing off at people is the same as being a Nazi. I feel sure his daughter had something to do with it.

Without Musk, Tesla loses enormous value attributed to future projects which people believe “only Musk can accomplish”. Any other leader (except maybe Cook or Bezos) making the claims he does about production ramps, solar tiles, electric semi trucks, fully autonomous cars paying for themselves as a taxi, colonizing Mars, etc. would be met with at best skepticism and at worst outright derision.
Startup time of most VMs is in miliseconds. For VM stuff that includes compilation all times are 10s+.

I agree, and I think even the "I drink white male tears" people probably have good intentions. I just don't care about hearing them say they drink white male tears.

"Right now, Coinbase's most promising project, say Johnson and others, involves a new class of investments known as security tokens"

I used to think security tokens were going to be one of the useful things to come out of the crypto asset space, for the reasons in the article, e.g. it does make a lot of sense being able to automate ownership and transactions and so on so easily. But now I'm not sure - it puts the success of your company/asset entirely in the hands of your chosen platform (which might crash and burn) and the wider crypto asset market (which again may have an uncertain future). It would be a bit like deciding to float your company on the Venezuelan stock market and price your stock in Venezualan Bolivar - even if you were one of the successful companies in the world your stock is probably going to do pretty badly. I have a suspicion that its all part of the plan by the small number of people who have accumulated almost all the wealth to draw more people into the scheme to prop up the pyramid a bit longer.
So as you can see in the original article, the "bad cops" here were reason for Linus not to examine his own behaviour. That only happened because the other side had bad cops as well. In other words: at least in this case (and in mine as well), it only worked to achieve the opposite effect from what's intended.

Python is fundamentaly flawed, since it's based on lines (and significant indentation), and foremost, since it's based on statements, and not only on expressions.

Lambda expressions look in python like a sore spot, because Python stresses so much statements, and procedural programming.

IIRC, recently we've seen passing a paper in hacker news, that let beotians write programs, and only ~10% IIRC (or less) of their uterances were procedural statements!
Although Yocto gets more publicity, I always prefer BuildRoot myself.

Yocto's 'layer' abstraction seems overly complicated and difficult to use (especially in a headless situation where you can't use a nice GUI tool to manage them).

BuildRoot is much more like the Kernel Configuration... Just choose your options from a hierarchical menu.

Much easier IMO.

(https://buildroot.org/)

Also, building a minimal system is much easier in BuildRoot than in Yocto... just deselect the options rather than trying to remove layers and the contents of layers.
(F)elon Musk
You shouldn't be allowed to share this opinion, as you have never owned a single share of stock. Why don't you buy some, wait till you lose some money, then come back and tell us you feel good because, you know, the company pushes humanity forward.

Musk wasn't raising money for humanity sake; he was raising money to found his company and doing so he agreed to be bound by the rules that such market created. You don't like these rules? Sure go see your senator to change the rules and allow companies "moving humanity forward" to do or say whatever they want to when they are exchange listed. The problem is if that would to happen, nobody would invest a dime in such company because people don't invest their money into pushing humanity forward, but rather to multiply their hard earned cash.

And how the fuck is building rockets pushing humanity forward? We are not going to leave Earth en masse; With his behavior of "fuck Earth I will move everyone to Mars and adopt your body to live in Martian atmosphere", Musk is actually pushing humanity backwards. I recently saw someone on highway throwing away empty cigarette pack. It happens we pulled over on the same gas station I asked him about literring to what he answers "Dude, Musk throw away a car into space and you have a problem with me? why the heck should I care about some cigarette box thrown out of window".

You cannot compare Bitcoin transaction to a visa/mastercard transaction.

A Bitcoin transaction is closer to me giving you a gold bar than doing a credit card transaction.

The payments layer is being developed and it's called the Lightning network. Which is faster than Visa/Mastercard and cheaper and can scale much greater and have a better resilience than Visa.

I've always been super interested in reverse engineering from a young age when I first started changing application flows by breaking them down in NASM and MASM.

Since then I have always looked into variations of the technique delving into specific components and architectural pieces.

The PCB as an embedded device gives a similar field of exploration.

I'd highly recommend people do similar things, it really teaches you a heck of a lot as a software engineer.

I wonder what’s exactly preventing them from implementing UIKit on macOS, that necessitates running the app in a simulated iOS environment...

The biggest pain point on macOS is the crappy AppKit framework which has so many awful quirks due to legacy reasons (e.g. layer-backed vs non-layer-backed views, no standard collectionview, etc.).
"Manufacturing Consent" is about the press, but it probably applies just as well to most media owned by big corps. You don't need a big conspiracy, just to set up the right conditions.

To quote the best popular work on political economy, Yes, Minister:

- Jim Hacker: "I thought these planning inspectors were supposed to be impartial?"

- Bernard Woolley: "Oh really, Minister. So they are. Railway trains are impartial too, but if you lay down the lines for them that's the way they go."
Stable in the short term, that's because inflation takes its time to work its way through the system. It doesn't all hit at once. The inequality is that the money printers get to spend their newly printed money at face value at the time of print. By the time it works its way through the system, it is worth less for everyone else, who has to then pay it back, with interest, to people who printed it.
In ideal world, where governments would properly care and protect nature, your arguments would be valid.

In real world, thank god for people like these. End result is all that matters - there are massive protected parks. They are mostly inaccessible? Good, it means tourism will not do much damage soon.

Think in decades and centuries, not only what-is-it-for-me-right-now. That's not a good perspective on environmental protection.
They were not play messiah for minorities; they were explaining how some people (i.e. not all minorities) prefer to be addressed in a way different from other people -- the fact that you consider his tone patronising when I don't is proof of that. And the point of the comment is that we should keep that in mind when conversing. Because I'm doing that, I can now imagine why you might consider it patronising, and can try (not necessarily succeed, unfortunately) to make it more palatable to you.

(Unless of course you consider that patronising as well, in which case, my non-patronising advice would be: deal with it. Either way, I hope they'll still be able to make comments like the above in the future :) )

Anti-gang policing is not trivial, but there are plenty of effective tactics that don't involve becoming a police state: pay informants if you have to, flip small players on the big ones, charge accomplices and dis-incentivize association with gang activities, offer good, legal alternatives for disaffected young men to improve their lives.
