grpc-web indeed does use XMLHttpRequest internally to make the request to the server. Main advantage is type-safety of the overall communication protocol and some efficiency gains. Cannot be stated strongly enough how important compile-time type-safety guarantees between client and server is (particularly in a "microservices" environment where everything is disconnected at runtime); eliminates an entire class of bugs, frees developers to focus on more business-relevant tasks rather than worrying about serialization.

That’s only true for the guaranteed discount on the lock-in price (0-20% depending on the company.)

For a stock with lots of appreciation, the real bonus is in the stock price appreciation in the 2 year during which the price is locked in.

That part gets taxed at capital gains if you hold the stock long enough.

50GB easily fits in RAM. It's a small dataset.
so some of the "hurt" GNOME used to introduce on major versions will pay off in user friendliness in a hybrid user story on handheld devices? the long con ! - I wish them luck, the presentations are impressive. So too the kde-neon folks had a convincing technological argument last I checked them out end of 2018.

Smartphones always were a downer to me. Having flashed some devices and using f-droid exclusively I sure saw good apps by good folk, but "desktop computing" always felt friendlier. The slick Apple and Google ecosystems never attracted me - and with the breaking-news stories on whatnot App SDK had some data sending somewhere I think the browser is a better sandbox for some companys and use-cases than deeper OS integration. Not that it is benign, but still.

I'm incredibly thankful to the people driving the GNU/Linux effort and foss ecosystem, offering their ingenuity for inspection by a wide audience. Computing got actually simpler as I got older and discovered tools sometimes made before my time. I never had that feeling with handhels - but this might change soon.

It's just a guesstimate. From TFA:

>"If we take a look at our average system idle power in our own reviews which is around 55W, this would make the Intel CPU around 125W, whereas the AMD CPU would be around 75W"

I have no idea what percent of idle power consumption the cpu should be responsible for, from their treatment I would assume negligible.

Agreed. The Van Gogh vs kindergarten painting example is a poor comparison - that would be more in line with buying the rights to all future royalties of a Taylor Swift song vs that of an unknown tuba player.

This does make me wonder though - is there any market for recorded musical works as there is for physical works of art? For example, could the collective stakeholders in a Taylor Swift hit sell their share of future earnings based on a risk adjusted valuation of projected earnings? There would be implications for earnings on tour but interesting nonetheless.
I worked at the state courts in California for a while. The "Penalty Assessment" fee amused/enraged me; at the time IIRC it was $17.50 per $10 of statutory fine. So the effective cost of a $100 statutory fine was $100 + $175 PA + court costs ($40 or more) + special fees ($1 if the charge could be adjudicated in night court, for example). So a $100 offense started at an actual out-the-door cost of about $315.

Being a fee, "Penalty Assessment" could be changed administratively as opposed to changing the actual fine which needed legislation.
I still think that using the common [] operator for this is a mistake. Strings shouldn't offer [] at all, and instead should provide methods like codepoints(), bytes(), grapheme_clusters() etc for indexing, slicing, and iterating.

The reason being that the behavior of [] for string varies widely in different languages, and so this is something that's best made explicit, both to force the author of the code to consider whether their assumptions are valid and reasonable for what they're trying to do, and to give additional context to anyone else reading the code.

As it is, I suspect a common class of bugs for Rust will be with people assuming that [] slices codepoints, because it seems to work that way for ASCII.
If you can run the dataset comfortably on a Macbook then it's very, very small.

I don't think blandness is bad in and of itself. One could describe many places all over the world as "bland" from an insider's perspective but perhaps interesting from an outsider's perspective. Not only that, but may cities and towns which experience turmoil, econ decline, etc., would sell themselves off for "bland" success.

Bland means you've made it. Singapore is "bland" Yokohama is "bland". One could say life is not "bland" in the Donbass region. Santiago might be bland, but Rio de Janeiro is not bland. I'd wager many of the non-bland places would trade an arm to be successfully bland. Busan used to be gritty. Now it's a "bland" city.

Furthermore, even foreign transplants who settle in foreign places be they from India, China, Russia, Nigeria, etc., if they can, they settle in these so-called 'bland' cities, if they can. I have not yet heard anyone going to Paris saying, you know what, I'm going to settle in one of the exciting arrondisements --nevermind those other places most people gravitate to.
Then you are being ignorant. The idea is not to protect a few animals, it is to protect all animals, and all pigeons in this case.

Even if it would work... what would hovering even do that is beneficial? Without tires touching the pavement, you won't turn or stop well at all. You will bottom out over every speed bump and driveway and parking lot entrance, unless you're hovering like a foot off the ground.

They're the two extremes. You will notice that the impact google will have on local rent, non-google related trade and industry, service-sector jobs without transport burdens, the working poor.. not all the "effects" of google investing in somewhere will be positive. So.. the alternative model, is to go clean-build somewhere in the jungle, but that doesn't work either.

Basically, what I am trying to say is that the problem isn't google investing: the problem is the ICT sector being so completely out of whack with non-ICT sector norms. In order to make it work, they need to commit to employing people who already live locally, investing in schools locally, investing in infrastructure commitments which don't (and cannot) directly benefit google. We have a mechanism to do that btw. Its called tax.

Tax is the answer.

While I use Gnome, and like the way it looks, I feel it's a mistake on a phone unless they are doing a lot of heavy editing. While it's gotten better, the JS -still- leaks and randomly pegs the CPU. In a phone I would imagine a battery life measured in minutes.
Yep. It’s a bad philosophy when it actively deflects from possible changes to the circumstances comprising progress. In this case, it’s much easier to make an open source phone than cell network. Not to mention no one has the sort of capital to setup an open cell network.

Of course I can. My brother is 15, he is smart and he had programmed before, but only on his calculator (in TI-BASIC, I think). He already knew the basics of programming. He got his first real computer for Christmas. I was with him at my parents house, behind his shoulder as we created the skeleton of the game together over a weekend. After that I left, and he kept adding features on his own.
Modern Python uses whatever representation is sufficient to ensure 1-unit-per-codepoint for a given string (which it can do on creation, since strings are immutable). So you get ASCII, UTF-16 sans surrogate pairs, or UTF-32.

This is great for high-level code, but painful to work with from native code, because it usually needs some specific encoding to call into other libraries, and it's usually UTF-8 - so you need to re-encode all the time.
I would still dunk on them
A recent work Slack chat had a dev asking what a particular table contained. They were going through our data inventory and found a randomly-named table 18TB in size. When I ran "select count()" against it, I got back 5,325,451,020,708 rows (that's a copy-and-paste).

Related to the discussion in the second link, it sounds like Mr Pearce got to coin the phrase 'flow typing' to describe this situation but this is something people have been talking about for a long time.

Pseudocode:

if (foo is a String) {
foo.someStringMethod();
}

Flip that around a little bit:

if (foo is not a String) {
return "error";
}
foo.someStringMethod();

And you've got a guard clause that's fundamentally the same kind you're asking for. I've wanted this structure in a language for a very long time. I was happy to see it pop up in Kotlin and would love to see it in Rust as well.
If it can be stuck in a sqlite database and run on a developer laptop, then no, it is not medium by any standard.

has long term interest rate data from 1790 and rates now are lower than in 88% of other years -- the only other major periods of such low rates was the depression era to WW2 price/rate controls: 1936-1955. Roughly prior to when the Federal reserve gained its independence and was able to set policies apart from federal budget needs.

You are living in a very special period of historically low rates.

The parent isn't saying that the service doesn't need artists with fewer streams, just that the service takes a bigger hit from losing big names than it does from losing small ones.

If I can make a suggestion - I don't mind the program being slow because of all the logic - how would it be if you didn't give special status to ascii but instead tried to intelligently assume a string encoding for strings and accordingly colored "binary" vs "text" (utf-8, utf-16)
Student admin myself here at Uni. With Dell being our primary provider I did some general comparisons with the currently available EPYCs. Our Dual socket Skylakes (36 total cores without hyperthreading) with 128GB of ECC ram cost ~18K each. With an EPYC chip I could build 48+ core systems with 256GB RAM for ~3K less.

If these next gens have similar pricing, they look very competitive for the future of on-premise (and cloud) HPC stacks.
