I've used satisfiability solvers, but I don't know enough about their internals to evaluate ESR's claim that satisfiability is intrinsically serial. ESR's argument seems to hinge on this idea, that regardless of how well you handle parallelism, it's not going to help with certain tasks.

An effective architect assesses _when_ they should constrain choices to achieve the -ilities.

For instance, in projects aimed at learning about the customer or market, you might reasonably defer many traditional architectural goals (maintainability, modifiability, perhaps even secury), while in projects aimed at creating durable long-term value in a well-understood space you probably wouldn't.

Not necessarily; as the article discussed, the format characters are part of a Unicde standard. Apple/Swift Foundation uses the ICU library[0] for the heavy lifting of date formatting, which is certainly widely available (by design).

Remarkable People We Overlooked in Our Obituaries
Something tells me this commenter is affiliated with the Chinese government.
The World Bank had free reign largely in Africa from the 1960s until the early 2000s. They and the IMF had an untrammeled monopoly for the most part, which was further supercharged by the 1980s Washington consensus. In that time period African states on the whole became poorer and state infrastructure crumbled. Now its not entirely on the World Bank/IMF of course, as in many countries there was misgovernance, but we can wholly agree they did not create Eden in Africa.

What has changed the equation for the continent started in the 2000s, the commodities boom along with telecommunications improvement, along with the entrant of new players such as China, India, Turkey, and until recently Brazil(in the Lusophone states).

So if we choose to look at those historical datapoints, without even getting into abuses at the IMF/World bank, we can effectively agree that the Bretton Woods sisters have done very little to move the needle on African prosperity.

Can anyone blame Africans for ignoring the World Bank and IMF when the countries that did ignore its orthodoxy, from China in the late 1970s to then India in the early 1990s, prospered?
How hard would it be to make a liner for the common cases if this? I'd expect most format strings to be literals (no concatenation or anything), passed to the formatting API in a way that can be easily statically determined. Any use of YYYY without we should be assumed to be a mistake.

It can also be detected at runtime. Debug builds could warn it crash.

Future APIs just shouldn't have YYYY mean this. Use another letter.
My experience, colored more by perl styles than sed per se, is that the vertical bar is the overwhelmingly typical usage, actually. It's what Wall picked for the examples in the camel book, for example.

Yes, but string equivalence in Unicode is a hairy mess even without cases. You get all kinds of bits where two characters are semantically and visually identical but are different points. Raw binary comparison of Unicode without normalizing first is a bad idea even without cases.

Folding the cases is a continuation of the normalization operation you were going to do anyways.

I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to use SQL for everything. If you are constantly inserting records and don't need relational structures, DynamoDB might be a better choice. DynamoDB scales quickly and cheaply, so it's potentially the preferable option if it works in your architecture.
>> As the article points out, passive funds, which have become a dominant force in the stock market, own the same stocks as everyone else in the same proportion.

THIS. This is how it works. They also have similar basis prices for their positions, and similar pain thresholds. It's not a big surprise that when Institution XYZ reaches its' pain threshold and stop loss orders are used, a few more dozen Institution ABC, DEF, and GHI hit theirs also! This looks like a "huge selloff" on a chart, but it's just the same event being experienced by multiple institutions near the same point in time.

tldr: it looks like a herd because it is a herd.
Yes, it is good idea, i don't think about security cams.

I'm sure Joe Stiglitz, a Nobel prize winner in Economics, would disagree. In fact, he clearly articulated why in his book: Globalization and Its Discontents.

"[It] is a book published in 2002 by the 2001 Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz. The book draws on Stiglitz's personal experience as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under Bill Clinton from 1993 and chief economist at the World Bank from 1997."

The Convertible franc was clearly an attempt from France to dilute the effects of its inflationary spending by spreading it over its former colonies.
> While we can debate the relative merits and demerits of the CFA, it is still quite very strange and quite frankly colonial that the arrangement continues.

It continues because it's becoming an African euro-zone, having the same currency is invaluable. Especially that the African currencies don't have a reputation for stability. It's not a coincidence Mali & Guinea left and then came back in.

> Lastly, one just has to compare the state of Francophone African states towards most of the Anglo states, they are on by definition normally poorer and more fragile

I don't really agree with that, you have counter example in both cases, on my case I could point Cote d'Ivoire where the Bank of Africa is located and on the other Anglo side you have Uganda which isn't exactly an example of a rich country, the Franc CFA definitely helped for that.

>There are already tons of browser libraries not using the .mjs extension.

Browsers don't care what extension you serve something as, so we can't really directly match that in the default behaviour. What you can do is use a resolve hook to tell node to interpret certain files as esm even when they don't have a `.mjs` extension.

>Not clear to me why just using 'import' makes it a module and 'require' not.

import doesn't "make something a module". if you try to require something that resolves as being esm (rn we check that with .mjs) it will throw, because esm resolution is async and require resolution is sync. You can't require esm but you can import anything.

>Your argument is that, because they had a fair trial and were found guilty, it is ethical to force them to work without compensation?

Yes to some extent. I think forcing prisoners to cook their own meals, clean up after themselves etc... is fine. I draw the line at contracting out prisoners for money, or selling products that prisoners make--not because I think requiring work as a part of fairly meted punishment is inherently wrong, but because I believe it creates perverse incentives.

My primary argument is that requiring work as a part of punishment for an offense for which they were convicted at a fair trial is not remotely comparable to forcing hundreds of thousands of unconvicted political prisoners into labor camps.
This seems less like they turned copper into gold and more that they found a way to process copper so that it can replace gold in some industrial applications.

The web browser is not the real competitor here, that's a web developer fallacy if ever I saw one.

As soon as you move to the desktop, you're competing with the desktop toolsets.

People comparing Electron to the browser is missing the entire point of what Electron is for, which is pretending to be a native application.

Good points about the limitations - SSE certainly won't be useful for lots of scenarios and you might prefer resorting to traditional approaches in those scenarios (in lieu of or in concert with an SSE channel).
> want to load config from environmental variables or centralized config management tools.

I am not sure I understand this, I have a feeling you are mixing "configuration" with "loading the configuration" here which is a slippery slope.

> you miss out on the benefits of your first language, like static typing

Again, you are confusing configuration with writing your application. You have a point here if you are your applications only user (e.g. server apps) and you have to recompile anyway.

> Third, you can do things like merging environment-specific configs into a base config

Again, I am not sure if your config file is the place to do that. I would argue that your configuration should be different in different environments instead of having a smart configuration that recognizes the environment and does a bunch of different things.

> or programmatically filling in an array of values explicitly and in a way that's easy to follow.

This is also a good point and is definitely a place where JSON falls short.

Good stuff.
I thought they primarily viewed gold as valuable because it's a medium of exchange that they believe will remain useful and stable in case of some sort of societal collapse? There probably won't be a lot of microelectronics getting manufactured in that scenario; gold prices dropping ought to be good for them now.

I don't think you can really compare India and China at this point. China is competing with the US as biggest economy in the world. India's GDP is the size of California. There is just more money to go around. Also government policies in China strongly tilt toward homegrown companies.

Also outsourcing software from the US and the west to china is harder since since they don't speak English or use a Phoenician alphabet when compared to India. Also there are a lot of big high paying Chinese tech companies like tencent, baidu, alibaba, etc. I don't know if that exists in India.

> So teaching people that you should take responsibility for your actions and fix things that are broken and anticipate problems so you can better deal with them doesn't sound to you like a good idea?

That's a brave argument to deploy when you've spent the rest of the post explaining to me that actually, lifetime disenfranchisement for Hendrick was necessary and appropriate because trying to take responsibility for his actions (as a non-officer) was stupid...

At the end of the day I believe access to the franchise shouldn't be dependent on servitude, and that "the punishment depends on whether you and your superiors are willing and able to cover it up" isn't a standard of jurisprudence to be aspired to or an important life lesson. Judging by your willingness to deploy increasingly inconsistent arguments to argue otherwise, I'm not sure we're going to reach agreement here.
Bots can grab email addresses from your profile, even if you obfuscate it as you do. Viewing your profile does not require a login.

If you want to obfuscate it away from bots, but allow the hackers and developers here to email you, consider base64+rot13 then hint to those being used.

function rot13() { if [ -r $1 ]; then cat $1 | tr '[N-ZA-Mn-za-m5-90-4]' '[A-Za-z0-9]'; else echo $* | tr '[N-ZA-Mn-za-m5-90-4]' '[A-Za-z0-9]'; fi }

echo -n "user@blah.tld" | base64 | rot13

Even base64 may be enough, but once your addy is on a list, it will spread to all the other bots.

> China still has a long way to go to making their own country functional before they can do this kind of outreach

China has massive amounts of US dollars (and lower, but still decent, amounts of Euros) which are useless at home but can move literal mountains in Africa.

Basically China can act like a VC fund in Africa: spend shitloads of money and pray that 1 of 100 projects is gonna be a unicorn... the game is to not do it like Europe dumping their used clothing and overproduced food over Africa, but to provide infrastructure so that the billions of people in Africa actually have the means to buy... yep, Chinese products.

The infrastructure is a loss leader, but ya gotta get the product into the continent somehow. Europe and the US won't be able to profit from the infra, we don't export anything of value except cars and software since all our manufacturing and industry was shuttered and off-shored to... China.
As we have seen Apple (and to a lesser extent its direct competitors) bury its old-fashioned record label competitors, I think the print media industry is due for a similar (if smaller) revolution.

There's probably nobody more frustrated by these sudden book shortages than the books' authors themselves. Being out of stock during the sweet spot of this year too often means the book sale will never be made.

I'm working on a microbindery, which involves ultracheap one-off book runs in tiny distributed shops around the country, the operative idea being that instead of waiting six weeks for the next containerload of today's bestseller/tomorrow's pulp, whatever's out of stock can simply be knocked out in three hours and either picked up or mailed a short distance.

Making a book (a real book) takes more than your $39 Deskjet, but it's not hard, or all that capital- or even labor-intensive.

A single command line argument could convert a PDF to a perfect-bound novel or textbook, indistinguishable from the factories that produce books by the containerload but in massive MOQ's and haphazard sales and proof processes.

Even if it costs $15 instead of $12 to print bestseller copy number n+1, that's still plenty of money left on the table if you're at the mercy of a massive 20th-century pulp mill in a different time zone, who can't be bothered with your last minute business.

If I had to write a SAT solver to use lots of cores on an arbitrary boolean formula, I would farm out the work like this:

This walk the tree to find the variable, X, that occurs most often. There is a weighting issue. Occurrences higher up the tree count more.

Then I would create two expressions by substituting X = true and X = false.

Now two cores can race to see which can find a satisfying assignment first. Clearly this division can be applied recursively until all the cores are busy.
right now Overwatch easily wins out for taking my time but if youre thinking more all time greatest i like to think of the likes of Chrono Trigger, Nier Automata or FFVII

all depends on what you want from a game really, however i suggest if you fancy an existential crisis backed up by a solid combat system and a divine musical score then i couldnt more strongly suggest Nier Automata, it is in my opinion the strongest argument for video games as an art form in the last decade, just be sure to switch it to original language as the dub is abysmal
