i think that minecraft stores the generated data along with modifications nowadays, instead of the neat little format you describe, because generating this frequently is usually very difficult for the computer. im not completely sure though.
I hadn’t seen that one, and it was a blast, thanks.
It's certainly a valid concern and something I think is always worth being in the discussion. Personally the way we've navigated this is making sure you don't (need) any of the paid programs to succeed - all of the help and more is available either for free on youtube or with peer support on the forums. The paid programs are only a curated version of the content with a few bonuses like extra worksheets.
Stop assuming the value in the development ecosystem belongs to you (and should be extractable as money). It doesn't.

Realistically, the next step you will see, unless something changes, is that they will start going after people for API duplication. They have precedent (currently) on their side in the US.

None of the reasonable players will touch this, but you can be sure some VC backed "open source" player will be willing to touch this 3rd rail in exchange for a Series A.
i didn't really go east of 101 for the 10 years I worked there.
I really wish this was serverless. Azure CosmosDB offers SQL and MariaDB interface against a serverless, pay for what you use database and DynamoDB is the only product of that class Amazon has. Even Aurora "serverless" appears to be little more than autoscale, and it requires an elastic IP which slows launch of lambdas since they have to connect to VPC.
I think the title of this article is a bit unfair; pretty much all of our understanding of science is going to be wrong at some level at some point in time, either due to mistakes in the experimentation, or in this case a software bug; good scientists realize this and issue corrections or retract the paper. Doesn't "fake news" imply dishonesty?

I think what you're posting definitely sounds suspicious and a lot of rust users are doing it for the hype but.

1) rust genuinely is a great language and his opinion in the comment is something I have as a professional c++ programmer or the past

2) his comment history is only suspicious and only mildly, there's nothing outright contradictory. I would give him the benefit of doubt.
It works better if it is part of the language from the start.

Having said that, we can probably implement it using only existing keywords. Maybe: import java.lang.extensions.assert.

(I assume Java has some reserved part of the package namespace they can use for this purpose. Even if they don't, it shouldn't be difficult to find a package name that hasn't been used by anyone yet)
Yeah, kind of funny now that you mention it. Some professional page layout software uses XML and XSLT, but the web branch of those technologies developed more rapidly and also seems to be more concise.
Not generic monads, but it does have the `?` operator for Option (similar to Haskell Maybe) and Result (similar to Haskell Either) which would support a similar syntax to using `do` with the Maybe monad
A single yes to one question isn't necessarily indicative of a problem - it's the combination (for the DSM proposed criteria it's 5 or more of 9) that creates the pattern and may show a problem. These questions are from the Gentile Scale of Internet Gaming Disorder (published in the APA) with a few adjustments based on other research (such as King's paper on Tolerance.)
Seems exactly how researchers should behave in this case? Putting the search for truth ahead of potential reputation hits. In my eyes at least, this makes me more likely to trust them, as I know they're standing behind their work.

Yep, when I say to people that the south bay is completely devoid of anything resembling culture they still look at me funny. Until they go, that is.
Thanks for the correction. So it's 230V * 12.8A = 2.9kWh. 12.8A because you should always leave 20% headroom on continuous draws.
Precisely. If I had a natural gas or hydrogen car, I would expect to plan in advance for refueling. For an electric car, I would also plan in advance even though the car has the option to find the nearest station (better to avoid being out of range of a quick charger and having to spend more time than necessary at a slower station).

So yeah, I completely agree that it should be assumed to be more involved than the currently mass-market vehicles.

Sure, though that study was done in Vancouver, and their laws about real estate records being public record might be different than California or the other U.S. states (the article mentions only the methodology regarding Chinese names). You asked if there was a dataset that could be used in studying impact of foreign buyers; I was just pointing out that the government most definitely collects data of real estate transactions and generally makes it publicly available in the U.S.

You're right about the rent on the low end. These things take time. Seattle, like many other cities, under built due to poor zoning policies for years and years. This deficit doesn't get fixed overnight (or in a year).

Keep in mind these benchmarks are against a 4 watt CPU (Huawei's Kirin 980) with no air cooling inside a phone. Doesn't seem particularly fair to compare against a 28 watt core i5 with active cooling.

The more interesting comparison would be to the Huawei 7nm server CPU with 8 memory channels, 2x10G, and 64 cores.
there is a bug if you try to change direction by rolling over left and right at the same time or up and down at the same time. hitting uo/down together and left/right together when changing direction has a weird pause effect.
I think it’s pretty cool that computing science is a unique exception to this rule. Because computing semantics were constructed from first principles, they can be completely understood in a way that things we didn’t construct, like genes, can’t be. Computing scientists are just people so of course they can make errors, but with diligence those errors can be made extremely rare. Knuth is a living existence proof for this claim.
Yeah, I just drove 14 hours or so one way to visit family and did it in one day. I can see 16 hours one way being correct for "Midwest to South" (both large regions) and can't really see 64 or 112 making sense. LA to NYC is 42 hours or so and Detroit to New Orleans is 16 hours or so, so 64 or 112 hours for a round trip between those regions would have to be quite circuitous.

So yeah, I'm a little confused at OP's math. I'm guessing there were a lot of stops involved in a very nonlinear trip.

if a single company is destined to dominate the future of the Web, I'd damn sight rather it be Microsoft than Facebook

In an earlier era, it would have been better for it to be anyone but Microsoft. So it doesn't matter who, just as it isn't whoever is the biggest at the time, just to become the same. So no, the only answer is for no one party to dominate.
You're correct, Minecraft generates chunks around as players get near them, then they get stored on disk. To reset a chunk you can just delete it IIRC, it gets regenerated to the initial state as soon as a player comes near it.

There would be not much practical use for it I think, but in theory it should be possible to "compress" a Minecraft world by figuring out the delta between the original generated state and the current state, and then for each chunk either saving the delta or the the full chunk, whatever is smaller.

So once you have an effective and objective mechanism (this or other) for detecting and tracking drones, you can disregard the peanut gallery.

Yeah, bribes are just the cost of being a foreigner in many parts of the world, and they're often not too bad (unless you did something terrible).

Before visiting a poor country, figure out how much a bribe should be and consider it similar to a tip here. Policemen aren't paid very well, so it's kind of like tipping an underpaid waitress here in the US. Account for it as part of your overall expenses and you'll be fine.
Not necessarily, which is why I've always disliked the term, even apart from how it's used so often as to be meaningless rhetoric. Plenty of people might take "fake" to mean false, regardless of intent. And I would also argue that "fake news" can also be interpreted to mean that something mundane/previously known is falsely insinuated to be shocking "news" e.g. "Barack Obama discovered to have lived with single white teen mom", which is technically true (his mother was white and living alone at the time of his birth), but the intent of the headline is obviously to imply scandal.

That said, I don't think it's normal for a "software bug" to result in such an egregious error as to require a retraction of the study. I'd like to know why the peer review process failed to detect the problem.

Wrong science is not "fake news". A retraction by an author isn't a refutation by an antagonist. The conflation of the two, however, is definitely on the spectrum.

They messed up and told everyone so. That's pretty much the opposite of propaganda falsehoods.

> I love these! No need for messing around with `StringBuilder` and the like.

But if I get a string passed to me and want to hold on to it for later use, I can't be sure that someone else holding a reference to it won't modify it after I got it, right? So I will have to make a copy to be safe. Or does Nim solve this somehow?

How often do you actually want the nth character as opposed to the nth grapheme?

There is pretty much no case where indexing by character actually makes sense because it is almost always incorrect and it is always inefficient.

Indexing by byte is rarely useful, but it does have some usefulness since it can be used correctly and efficiently since you can easily find the next or previous character by searching a maximum of four bytes for the a byte that has a MSB of 0. If you want to do something like get a &str that would fit in a n-byte buffer, then byte indices will let you do that efficiently and correctly.
No carrier installs vanilla copies of OSes on their phones, every phone literally has pre-installed apps. Just because this is facebook it's getting headlines.

I don't understand why this is noteworthy.

I think maybe this is when you decide 'maybe our language has failed'. Or at least admit it's a toy language that hasn't been properly engineered to be effectively used commercially. When it's a 'worth mentioning' when a single app has been written in it by some dying company.

I mean, imagine if we had a headline on the frontpage of HN for every app written in C or C++ or Java or Python (or Objective-C or Swift or C# or even Visual Basic or Rust)

I'm usually ready for a break every 200 miles or so anyway, so I don't think I'd really need much more than 300 mile range. At 60mph, 300 miles is 5 hours and at 80 (highest legal limit I know of) it's 3.75 hours, which is a long time to go without a break.

If an electric car can get me 200-300 miles on 30 minutes of charging, I'll take the minor inconvenience on road trips to get the major convenience of home charging the rest of the time.
Instead of taking a quick look at the description of how it works, why not instead spend a little more time to understand more, before passing judgement?

When I was kid, before reality, I wanted to be a stuntman. I'd round up my friends to shoot little actions movies with my Grandpa's Sony hi-8. They were structured on flimsy narratives that only served to facilitate fist fights, chase sequences and opportunities for a big fall. To convince my friends to get up at 8:00 on a Saturday to shoot all day around the neighbourhood I always gave away the part of the hero so I was always the bad guy, sometimes several bad guys in different costumes, but I also let me do most the directing. I figured out how to assembly edit all in camera, and then add music and sound effects when transferring to VHS. Anyway, when I discovered Jackie Chan he rocked my world.

> There's a certain po-faced affectation that is necessary to be called an artist. Being good isn't good enough; you also need to convincingly ape the norms of a self-appointed cultural elite.

The cultural elite isn't self-appointed. They clawed their way up there the same way as everyone else who has reached some position in some hierarchy. And that includes various hierarchies of artists.

> The disparity in esteem between pop and rock springs to mind. We have an ingrained sense that if a record appeals to 13-year-old girls, then it must on some level be inherently inferior to a record that appeals to middle-aged men, regardless of the actual sophistication of the music in question.

I think the more standard criticism is that some music is made by a committee as a product whereas other music is the result of a group/individual trying to make good music and that, in general, the latter category is better. I don't necessarily accept this argument, but it's different than the one you're proposing.

More generally, I find your attitude perplexing. If you want to think about this subject seriously, then surely there is no objective way to view art. If that's the case, then saying "you can be goofy and make art" is pointless because it's obvious. It's all just people's opinions. "Being goofy" can be art just like anything else.

Where I strongly disagree is where you sneer at "high art" and the "cultural elite". In my opinion, "high art" is art that is appreciated by rich/educated people who have been exposed to different things than less rich/less educated people. "High art" isn't better or worse than "low art". The definition of art is "something from which people derive emotion".

To address all of your questions:

One of the biggest selling points of gRPC (or many of the protobuf based systems, like Twirp) is that there's a huge community of people building code-gen tools for the API and Client out of a .proto file. What this means is that you can auto-generate a typescript library in one command, then publish that to npm.

There's an implicit guarantee that, if the TS client library and, say, the Go backend, are both "the same version" of the API (meaning, generated from the same .proto file), you'll get full API compatibility. And its not just "the frontend is assuming the response is of type T" or "doing schema validation on the response once you get it to make sure it conforms to a type the frontend defines independently"; the client lib and the backend lib are both generated from the same source of truth.

This exists with something like OpenAPI, but Protobuf is much simpler. And then you layer something like gRPC on top of that to get all the HTTP2 benefits, and its obvious why its gaining popularity.

That being said, to the third question: There's a huge advantage in those auto-generated client libraries. That's literally how libraries like the Google Cloud SDK are made; autogenerated from protobufs. But, if you use gRPC, the state of using that on the frontend natively sucks. So its got pros and cons.

Personally, we've opted to use Twirp instead of gRPC for the time being. Its all the advantages of protobufs, but it creates an API that is easily callable by web clients because its just a simple HTTP endpoint with a JSON payload. The only big thing you lose is the HTTP2 streaming, which might come one day.
