I find it to always be either overused or underused.

Either the app is a vanilla evented io web application, in which case you could write it in pretty much any major language using an evented framework. Or it's a mess of buggy channel usage.

I guess there's a happy balance of "let the library maintainers do the hard channel work" but to be honest I can use someone else's high performance evented io library in any language.

China did some crazy things during Xi. Like South China Sea military bases to bully other states, recent reactions against Taiwan etc. I would not fully blame your current administration since China probably had it coming.

Snigl [0] has statically typed function signatures, struct fields, bindings etc; but values still carry their type.

It also traces code before running it to eliminate as many type checks as possible.

The categories aren't very helpful from my perspective, same goes for compiler vs. interpreter. All it leads to is endless arguing about definitions and discouraging of novel approaches.

Great if so. Writing OSS as part of the job is actually a good thing, because (1) there's a relatively stable entity that is responsible for this software at the end of the day (and not a single proud and starving artist, who may get ill, get married, get another project, etc.) and (2) someone actually has a _real job_
Ah yes, Slackware disk sets. I actually got the installer on a CD-ROM from Walnut Creek but had to resort to floppies because Slack didn’t recognise my optical drive (those days it was attached via an ISA mounted sound blaster card, not on the motherboard itself!).
The distro I was referring to above was LOAF (and tomsrbt), Linux On A Floppy.
Wouldn't that be a loophole big enough to drive a few million trucks through?
Love it. Especially the echo state network trick. I wonder how much of BERT/ELMO performance is simply due to them having a such a high dimensionality. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just makes a tad less practical for some applications.
Geocities really wasn't "social media", though. The closest thing at the time would have been PHPBB forums or the like, and customization with those tended to be limited.

I think there just isn't much of a desire among most people to be "creative" with their layouts. Most people use social media like an appliance, they care about the networking and communication and are satisfied as long as that works.

If Apple had to punish Google the same way Google punishes it's users it would have to ban ALL Google apps permanently for lifetime and also suspend all related accounts permanently and then shutdown it's email,youtube and adsense account with money remaining in the account.

Finally Apple has to stop responding to requests for ban reason and send out automated emails that their decision is final and binding.

This is how Google behaves with it's users.

I don't disagree, but I see nothing wrong with using a tool like that if everyone agrees it's a good idea. It needn't be the entire supply chain, either - individual portions could set up profit-sharing arrangements using contracts.

I don't know if it would actually be used, but if you wanted to do something like this, a blockchain would make a good deal of sense; especially if payment for the finished product was made through the same mechanism.

At an individual level that may be so, but if they're doing it en-masse then they essentially had secret/sensitive competitor information when they made an offer to buy WA, daily active users, usage-by-demographic etc.

On top of that they would have had access to message formats, headers, encryption protocols and so on, things that are potentially trade secrets. This isn't user-visible data and app owners shouldn't expect that competitors can access it directly from a user's phone.

I really don't see why. From afar they might appear to perform the same task but once you take a closer look you quickly realize they follow fundamentally different architectures and have significantly deployment and performance characteristics.

Just because there are all kinds of hammers, but there are also plenty of different uses, and even in the subset involving driving nails there are significant requirements.
Ok, but this is now Apple having to police thousands of organizations. That's just not practical. I think they should handle it on a case by case basis.
Facebook's development process for iOS (and android) is dependent on having most/all employees dogfood beta releases and report bugs that can be ignored. This breaks that pretty badly, and now users in the wild will have to report bugs before they can be ignored.
> I think seeing scsh for the first time made me realize just how good & bad shells are.

Oddly enough, just last week I was trying to do some scsh-like things with Common Lisp, and I ended up banging my ahead against its case-mapping behaviour (Common Lisp upcases input by default).

There’s definitely an opening for a Lisp version of something like scsh. There’s some tricky stuff to be aware of (e.g. SBCL’s RUN-PROGRAM puts processes in a different process group, which mean C-c does the wrong thing), but done well it could really be awesome.

Ask HN: When doing leetcode problems do you focus on specific types?
So I've started looking at leetcode, and I've done a few problems(c# which doesn't seem to be popular on there). However, there are a lot of problems. I'm wondering what everyone does to figure out what to study, and which problems to focus on.
I think, weirdly, I have a harder time finding communities around that sort of thing now. I mostly read HN. Where would I go to find something like HN for, say, sustainable living? woodworking? cycling infrastructure? A lot of it is, if nothing else, subsumed in to a Facebook group, or a slack group, etc.

Do you have any advice on finding it?

I remember a while back them talking about how they use Bing with Siri and about how Apple anonymizes the queries so Bing doesn't know who's actually doing them. I would imagine they'd apply the same anonymization to other search providers too.
I'm not an expert, but I believe it is the result of the structure of the law itself.

The American constitution does not grant any rights to the people, because our rights result from the nature of human existence and logically precede any government authority. The law recognizes rights, not grant them--they are "inalienable". Without rights, we wouldn't have the authority to form a constitution in the first place--by what right would we enter into such an agreement? Instead, the American constitution is designed to constrain the government by enumerating a limited set of government powers and no others. The Bill of Rights amendments do not grant any rights, they simply further restrict government power--just look at their wording: "Congress shall make no law...".

The fourth amendment is a limit on government power, not a grant of rights: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..." The amendment doesn't say "We grant the people the right to be free from unreasonable searches", it says people already have this right and the government must not violate it. Convicted criminals have violated the rights of others, and so they lose their own rights. Since they don't have rights, no violation is possible.

This is a much stronger type of individual protection than any other body of law. If the government does something you don't like, the burden is on the government to show it has the authority to do that thing. It doesn't need special case applications for non-citizens, because the rights of every individual person on American soil precede the law itself. And there is an open question about the degree to which they apply globally to non-citizens--every individual has the right to life, liberty, and property, and the government can't just go seize it (except under a declaration of war).

Why are they redirecting it to duckduckgo.com, why not just use duck.com? Short and simple.
You’re right that saying 5MB lacks context. Instead they could use BW and latency to offer a “congestion” index the user could gauge and load js or not load js.

My experience has been the opposite.

I tried switching to Brave and DuckDuckGo over the last six months, but found myself opening google and re-running the search so often that I recently gave up, and, with misgivings, reset my browser and search preferences back to google.

Duckduckgo just never found what I was looking for, and, in broader searches, would return relatively fewer results.
REST is a broad term - there's nothing to stop REST apis from doing all those things with HATEOAS, discoverable apis, json schemas, etc. The real advantage of GraphQL is the distillation and combination of preexisting ideas into a coherent spec and toolchain with a mainstream advocate, rather than a loose collection of standards, conventions, and libs with no mainstream advocacy.

To be fair, I feel like this fact means GraphQL does sit at a higher level of abstraction than "vanilla REST", which does make them not-so-comparable.

Realize this does not solve your problem, but for the writing and drafting part. I personally use Blot ( https://blot.im ). It's been really great, especially for actually getting content written. You just tie it to a dropbox or git repo and write markdown and it does the rest. You can self host or use the hosted service.

Can't recommend it enough. The developer is also super responsive on email which is great when figuring it out. Only thing to nitpick about is documentation could be a bit more clear. You can see the result here https://blog.jonasbengtson.se/

> Is this actually codified in law or just something that's practiced without anybody stopping it?

> I always thought these amendment rights are one of the most important pillars of what makes the US such an "amazing free democracy"?

You say this like the net political direction in the US is standing up for people's rights. Each political party does gather support with rhetoric about defending their constituents. But actually implementing those changes would upset some entrenched interest, so they then settle for attacking their political enemies. Then the media and the courts go to work justifying it.

The Bill of Rights itself was only meant to be a reference and legal backstop rather than a enumeration, yet even those test cases are horribly failing. For every ideal it references, the practicality is that said right been effectively nullified in every day life - it's technically possible for you to follow a narrow course of action that would preserve your right, but wholly impractical.

IMHO this came about because the desire of being able to choose is deeply ingrained in USian culture, but judging whether a choice is fallacious is not. So rather than viewing the concept of rights as qualitative assessments of actual behavior, rights are interpreted as a fundamental axiomatic base that complexity layers over. Witness how commonly it's said "A person gives up their right to X when they Y".
APM Accuracy as a concept also needs to be revisited.

A human who misclicks a "move" action, will quickly issue a 2nd or 3rd move to move the unit to the correct location. All together, it will count as 5 actions (1-action to click on a unit. 4-actions to move the unit around, because 3 of them were a mistake).

This is seen with the 800 APM that TLO played with. He has a lot of spurious clicks and button clicks. The units are controlled well, but a lot of his actions are redundant. (There's no penalty for redundant actions, so why not??)

A computer will not misclick. In fact, the AI doesn't even have a mouse: it can accurately click any location on the screen it wants without moving a cursor. Therefore, a computer will have 300-"perfect" APM (no misclicks involved), while a human will have more and more misclicks as their APM goes higher.

---------

I dunno, I think going for Starcraft was a fundamental mistake. A huge amount of Starcraft practice is just moving the mouse around and developing finger-dexterity to support 100+ APM (at my level of Starcraft anyway. I never really got over 150 APM even at my best).

The dexterity of your wrists and fingers play a huge part in the game. Any game where dexterity, reaction speed, and so forth are an element, computers will likely dominate.
> A leash and blinders are put on an animal which is not free, to control it. But nobody is proposing removing your freedom to use any web browser you want. In what way is that metaphor applicable?

As I said, there is an inherent bias in the choice of analogy. The ones I present are just as vague and useless as yours and present an opposite bias.

> I suppose it depends on how one defines "type". I'm not just thinking of the "java.lang.String" level, but the broader level of anything that can be checked by a compiler, without evaluating it.

How did I give you the impression that this is the level I was addressing it on? URIs have a much more restrictive type than simply a sequence of characters.

> Consider the basic problem of navigating a link. We get a big stream of bytes from the network. It's pretty easy for the computer to identify URIs in it, by the syntax of HTML and CSS and URIs themselves. It's not an easy problem for humans -- I wouldn't trust myself to always accurately identify URIs in an arbitrary buffer! It's hard to tell what's a valid URI, or where (say) the URI ends and a color or some raw text begins. That's a type problem, and humans are bad at it.

It's an easy job for the browser simply not to accept malformed URIs. Unfortunately, browsers like Chromium deliberately accept entirely malformed URIs and even interpret valid URIs the wrong way. IMO that would be a good place to start looking if you had a genuine interest in improving security.

> This project sounds like the next level beyond that. My computer can already parse the stream and analyze it to find the URI, and automatically paste it in my URL bar when I click near it. Nifty. But "URI" is a richly structured type (just look at the URI class in your favorite programming language), and the browser can do far more with it, even just at the UX level, than simply treating it as an opaque string.

Yes, because it is well defined what a URI consists of this is easy. Chromium already does to color highlight the different parts of the URI.

> What's the difference between viewing the source of some malicious code, and running that malicious code? Only the type system: it's in a SCRIPT tag, or a PRE tag. What's the difference between seeing a malicious link, and following that malicious link? Pretty much the same thing.

So what is Google doing to address this that has anything to do with the type of URIs? Absolutely nothing.
The FaceTime Bug and the Dangers of Implicit State Machines
IRL social networks. The guy who wrote the Quora algos probably has friends that work at Google who can influence the pagerank. I've seen these kinds of interactions first hand at various events in Seattle-Bellevue around 2014-2016. Only recently has it died down (mainly because the meetup groups either fizzled out or stopped offering free beer).

Asking lawnchair_larry to give you a complete list of everyone he considers credible is disingenuous.

As the other commenter stated, if someone thought that someone credible made that claim they could simply provide that source, which both (1) involves asymptotically less effort for everyone involved and (2) under reasonable assumptions is at least as effective.

What blows in particular is that some of those games only found their way stateside via the Wii store. Sin & Punishment comes to mind. You can find ROMs of the original Japanese N64 version online, but I doubt anyone has ROMs of the US/PAL versions for the Wii that had localized menus (the dialogue was already in English).
Some counterpoints:

Large format displays will be LCDs for many years due to inherent yield issues. (60” OLED displays is analogous to Intel trying to make a CPU the size of a full 300 mm wafer, one dust particle...). As the middle class grows, they will purchase large format displays.

R&D investment is Foxconn trying to move up the value chain. A dollar spent on R&D in China on innovative new ideas is less effective than that same dollar in the U.S. Especially since leading top tier LCD technology suppliers reside in the U.S./Korea/Japan.
