It depends how you defined technical issue. For example the French Areva power plant projects in Europe have been met with all sorts of issues ranging from subcontractors that are inexperienced with NPP level of quality and documentation requirements all the way to challenge of proving automation system reliability to the regulatory body. These happen in the plant vendor's native France as well, so shouldn't be cultural issues either. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)

These are not NIMBY or political issues, but rather stem from the fact that there's been a long pause in building new NPPs in the west. All the senior people involved with earlier designs are long since retired and even the juniors that were around might have moved on. And also some of the technology choices used in old designs are not even available anymore, so there's new families of tech to prove to the regulators, digital automation being one of these to my understanding.
Well, in this case the flooded area was under water before as well... just frozen water. So I assume the environmental impact would be small, here.

Also I would assume, the higher up the mountain the dam is build the smaller the impact due to less flora and fauna.

That’s not right. That’s only about 5 times the size of the gigafactory and there is no way that has nearly the capacity to power the entire US for 9+ hours of continuous darkness. You need to check your math...

Unless you meant a cubic mile of batteries, in which case that’s completely unrealistic to manufacture.
Does it have to be cool, though? If banks find a use case for blockchain technology, and they go ahead and implement it in some way so that it is only used by banks, how is that a missed point?
Turing machines don't have displays or keyboards or network adapters.

Nor do processors these days. To the cpu, keyboards, networks, and displays are just electronic signals and the cpu drives a logic to interpret and control those signals. The logic could as well be driven by a program running on a Turing machine, albeit awkwardly of course.

You could also argue that a Unix tool that reads stdin and writes to stdout doesn't have displays or keyboards, and is limited in what it can do. Yet the input/output streams are an abstraction: if we hook the output stream to drive a display and connect the input stream to keyboard event generator the program can certainly drive a graphical interface even if particular Unix tool itself has absolutely no notion of a keyboard nor a display. It just sees bytes in, bytes out, as programmed.

They have an infinite tape and compute (partial) functions from input words to output words, written on that tape. There are many things you can do that a TM can't do. Interactive computing is one of them.

Turing machine is a theoretical model of a computing machine as far it goes to reality itself, but the model does involve the bare essentials to do meaningful work such as input and output. And it is that input and output are what would allow it to be hooked into something that is real.

Given the realism of that we don't actually have infinite tapes either, any hypothetical application of a Turing machine would obviously manipulate the tape to give the program initial input and interpret the tape to read output in order to have the program do useful work.

The notation of an infinite tape is just Turing machine's only way to handle input and output, but it is really an abstraction for any input and output.

The Turing machine doesn't care where the data on the tape came from or if the output is interpreted as letters, pixels, or audio.
I really appreciate projects like this.

It’s helpful for casual observers to understand all the pieces of the stack. You can get an immediate feel if the approach is right for you and your team.

And it’s helpful for engineers to have examples to reference copy when implementing the patterns themselves.

I’ve been working on project similar to this for go, gRPC and Envoy:

https://github.com/nzoschke/gomesh

My project doesn’t go into deployment or K8. If I needed to figure that out I’d look at the OP project.

I also have a project that demonstrates Go and Lambda:

https://github.com/nzoschke/gofaas

If these help even a few engineers learn to be successful with the tools it’s a win.

On BA all business class tickets are changable for a nominal fee (about 5% of the cost of a return ticket). It's that flexibility that means people pay £6k return for the cheapest business class LON-NY ticket.

Sure, if you're flying on the "cheapest flight on skyscanner" then you don't get the flexibility, but that's why they don't fly 6 A380s rather than 12 smaller planes, they want the £6k tickets to choose BA/AA rather than VS/DL. The £600 return tickets at the back will fly whoever's cheapest.
It's not, in fact it would prove a point that seems to have been missed by the cryptocurrency community at large - even if blockchain does become useful, it seems unlikely that big banks or countries are going to start using the existing coins and enrich the current holders.
If a single corporation can control the primary means of communication and only allows "corporate-sanctioned" messages, then we will no longer be a democracy in any meaningful sense.

Yes, maybe that is alarmist, after all they are only concerned about corporate influence, but this isn't the first time in Facebook history where you could just accuse someone of being a bot to shut them up if you don't like what they say.
Enough of the "finally". They held off for a long time because they want to delay the day when we start saying "they" instead of "we". But in the end, arseholes won out, and people who don't want to enforce anything end up having to make rules and hating it.

I hope Burning Man's going to be OK, but I'm really not sure it is.
However, as soon as you start modifying/extending hardware you take on enormous risk and require considerable more expertise and development time. Yes, a modular design may allow you to disable your extension (if it's bugged) and still get a saleable device but then you've spent all those extra resources for no benefit. Not to mention the huge quantities you still need to make this financially viable. Basically, it'll cost you a load more to do something custom, you could have just used the next model up for less. RISC-V can't solve any of this.

I guess you could argue that you can build your more efficient hardware with an older, cheaper process and maybe still end up with something competitive.

I don't see the tablet market being served by RISC-V, what benefits does it bring?

Someone like WD getting onboard makes some sense but that's not exciting, they just want to save a bit of cash.
While I run into this too from time to time, it's not something everyone uses. Also it takes me 5 seconds to workaround by debug logging incoming ws messages. Most web devs I talk to can do everything with FF devtools more than fine.
I’d also suggest buying similar names like 1on1meeting.com, etc. I have no idea if that specific url is available. But buying related urls is helpful for people that forget how to spell the original (especially if they hear the name from a friend orally)
Well, watching videos is one of the things I do most with my browser. So this is a no-go for me, as the fans of my laptop will start spinning with Firefox (and battery life is worse).
Not sure on his source or argument but my guess would be accounts advocating for Maduro to be displaced by Guaido. If you look at it from that POV, you will clearly see how Twitter is playing a vital part in an US-backed coup against the Venezuelan people because currently, Maduro still has support from some of his allies and from his own military. [1] These are mucky waters to wonder through.

> What we need is more effective anti-trust legislation and enforcement, so that a number of platforms can coexist and compete even though there is a strong network effect to having a single platform.

One way to achieve that would be to require that platforms for user-generated content make that content available on open protocols, such as ActivityPub and RSS.

> I would also support laws requiring that these social media platforms [...] don't censor beyond what the law requires minimally

Then they wouldn't be allowed to ban spam, which would be a regressive step.
I use both, Chrome for client side dev, Firefox for everything else. Chrome is just the dev tool. Works like a charm because switching between tabs inside a browser is just as quick as alt-tabbing between browsers.

> So don’t buy from Sunrun. It’s that simple. That’s how capitalism works.

That's how laissez-faire capitalism works, within bounds.

Capitalism just means private ownership and trade; it doesn't dictate, or even imply, anything about regulation.

In more regulated capitalist economies legal systems are quite happy declaring 'unfair' contracts to be void. For example in the UK a single unfair clause can invalidate the entire contract.
Since 8.1 PostgreSQL does not work this way anymore.

The oid type is currently implemented as an unsigned four-byte integer. Therefore, it is not large enough to provide database-wide uniqueness in large databases, or even in large individual tables. So, using a user-created table's OID column as a primary key is discouraged. OIDs are best used only for references to system tables.[1]

Besides, "object-relational" only means that it supports custom data types and inheritance, and at least custom data types are still a core feature of PostgreSQL.

I wonder if eventually we'll have sites like reddit or forums that require you to demonstrate who you are before joining. Eg they require a photo of you and your passport. The site wouldn't use that information for anything, but this would reasonably guarantee that there's a real identity behind every poster.
Agreed. Seems like Singapore or Taipei would be a better option.

I remember there being libraries and components for Delphi which allowed you to pull in BWCC.DLL to get that styling...!

I started with Delphi3, worked a lot in Delphi4, and then the version 5 came, but in meantime the web became THE THING, and Delphi didn't really find a fit in that new world of open-source tools and web apps instead of monolith desktop apps. Which is a shame, as in 90s it was the best IDE, with one of the best and most useful help systems I ever used.
And they will be wrong because HTML is a Chomsky Type 2 grammar (context-free grammar) and RegEx is a Chomsky Type 3 grammar (regular expression). RegEx has no memory or stack.

There are forms of ML that have memory/stack, and I would think you have to use something more complex for the stock market than "recognizing patterns". For short term trading there are definitely useful pattern recognition systems that can effectively trade.

Gmail was probably the first very-widely-used app that used the fragment for navigation, and Google drove the whole #! thing.

That technique is now considered obsolete, with the History API (history.pushState and all that lot) having supplanted it. IE9 is the most popular browser currently in use that doesn’t support it; there are still definitely some systems out there that will use the History API if it’s available, or fall back to using the hash if it’s not, but I find that using the hash for navigation in deployed apps is surprisingly dead, given that it’s shy of six and a half years since IE10 came out, and Firefox and Chrome only had a year and two’s lead (and Chrome’s implementation especially was unreliable for quite some time).

Using the hash for navigation is still very common in development workflows. But that can be ignored for a feature like this.

Software is not eating the world (2014)
The why is what TFA is about. If you think the person I replied to was asking for an introduction to the paradigm, you could probably reply to them directly instead of dragging me about it.

Incidentally, FWIW I think your post about the why completely misses the point of ECS. Looping over entities with a particular property is easily done with OOP hierarchies or anything else. The benefits of ECS are elsewhere - that you can freely add or remove an entity's properties (without type issues or hot code becoming polymorphic), that the data you frequently iterate over can be stored in friendly contiguous chunks, the usual benefits of composition over inheritance, and so forth.

TL;DR you should be good enough to get into YC and get a job at a FANG, otherwise you have no business doing a startup.

That’s a very dark / elitist / defeatist view for aspiring founders. Many successful business were started by folks that don’t share your background, can’t make it to YC and we’re not superstar programmers. With enough support, any mildly interesting business idea can thrive (see TechStars with their 80%+ survival rate), so while getting into YC increases your odds massively, being a signal of your worthiness as an entrepreneur is a much more fuzzy matter.
The W3C design seems to be extensible for future use cases with a consistent syntax while keeping everything under one keyword. Something like this could also be applied to other types of documents, not only to text. Let's say to quickly draw a highlight on an image or specify a page in a PDF document. While "#targetText=" is simple, it is not a generic solution.
I urge you to dig a little deeper and see why things like `prefix`, `exact`, `suffix` exists in that particular example:

https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-states/#TextQuoteSelector_de...

Please note that you've actually changed the example!

If you just want to include `exact` or "targetText", you can still do:

http://csarven.ca/dokieli-rww#selector(type=TextQuoteSelecto...

or equivalent:

http://csarven.ca/dokieli-rww#selector(type=TextQuoteSelecto...

but that selects all instances of the text "annotation" in the document. Which is precisely why we need `prefix` and `suffix` to be able to identify the actual selection that the user made.

So, here is the equivalent of your example:

http://csarven.ca/dokieli-rww#selector(type=TextQuoteSelecto...

I hope that clarifies.

This is just tip of the iceberg! Let's stick to fair comparison and consider extensibility.

It is fully supported – with tax breaks, and taxpayer-funded education, and paid maternity leave, all of which childless people subsidise but don't benefit from.

Point isn't so much that the server needs to do anything, you can still just serve up the same response no matter the path, and have the client render different results – just as you would with a shebang style navigation in the past. The difference is that you know have options, which you didn't before since the server never saw the fragment part of the url, only / or /entry-point or whatever. So you can have more complex logic server side (really, this was done in the past long before in-client routing was a thing) but you don't have to, it can still be deferred to the client to deal with. Using shebang style navigation you never even really had the option – the history API enabled this.
Those large companies don’t need this. Meanwhile many others will mistakenly use this as the normal way to do things.

I have so many fond memories of putting together quick apps with Delphi "back in the day". Every now and again I'd buy a copy of PC Plus magazine just because they had Delphi 1, 2 or 3 on the cover CD.

I really miss the RAD concept, and I'd love to find a modern tool which had that aspect of Delphi, though perhaps with C++ or Python as a backing language.

I know there's Lazarus (opensource Delphi), but it's C++Builder I miss... wxWidgets is close, but not quite the nice quickly-have-something-presentable environment I remember.

> The idea that we were at some web standards pinnacle in 2008-2012 is crazy to me. The pinnacle is now.

I don't think the point was that we were at a pinnacle in terms of standards quality, completeness, or user agent consistency. Rather I think the point – at least it for me – was that during those years it was more of a conversation, not Google choosing a direction and everyone else more or less forced to follow suit. We are certainly in a better spot today in terms of capability, I agree, but I'm not sure I'd agree that we're in a better spot in terms of collaboration.
