Not so sure. I haven't worked on this code for a while and have no non-public knowledge of the bug, but ArrayBufferBuilder does not inherit from any of the GCed base classes, and has the USING_FAST_MALLOC macro which is used for non-GC classes.

The ArrayBuffer itself also uses reference counters rather than the GC base classes from Oilpan. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/...

Oops - you're right. I meant the opposite.
That aspect never occurred to me since their stated value proposition was always super cheap last minute deals. But their prices were never particularly great so it kind of failed at that one job. If it had been positioned more of a super-simple Uber for hotel rooms then maybe I would’ve approached it from a different angle and not been so disappointed.

I'm not sure. Wave has been out (and discontinued) for a LONG time. It was even transfered to Apache under an open source license. And it's never taken off. No one has ever picked it up. No one has seriously tried to replicate it. If there was a business there, if there was a use case there, someone (anyone) had plenty of opportunity to take it and run.

The fact that not only the idea but also the implementation and the hype and the marketing were all available completely for free and no one ever turned it into a real product tells me that it wasn't a real product.
People are highly aware of when their input is locked up. It's like trying to type commands over SSH on a bad or laggy connection: you have to keep pausing, wait for it to catch up, and ensure there are no typos or anything. Oops, need to backspace, wait, and edit that character. Oops, backed up too far.

Classic example of this is a naive markdown preview box that updates on every keypress. As the input grows, the experience becomes more intolerable until you're left typing the post in notepad and pasting it into the <textarea>.

You are only able to look past it here because of the contrived example. Though I found the demonstration intolerable and would hope, as a user of your application, that you wouldn't settle on "meh, the user won't notice/care." Especially since you don't notice it on your developer workstation and I'm stuck using it from my low powered mobile device.
The article is very thin on details. It serves mostly to point to an abstract for a research paper : https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.11097

The abstract is unfortunately also very light on detail.

It appears as though the researchers trained a number of classification systems using static images of pedestrians noting skin color and observed that darker skin tones resulted in mis-classification more often than for lighter skin tones. The original article then sensationalizes this suggesting that means self driving cars are more likely to kill darker skinned people.

I believe there are a number of problems here.

Fist, the skin tone bias in image training data sets is well documented. The abstract it self says such bias motivated their research. The conclusion that pedestrians with darker skin tones were mis-classified more often should not really come as a surprise given that these training sets have historically resulted in this type of mis-classification.

Second, pedestrian detection is not done (typically) using cameras but with LIDAR. LIDAR has no notion of skin tone. Cameras are more traditionally used for lane departure and blind spot checking. See : https://www.quora.com/How-do-self-driving-cars-see-in-the-da...

In my opinion there there is quite a large gap between noting the impact of biases in training data applied to static images of pedestrians and a sensationalized conclusion that "Self-driving cars may be more likely to hit you if you have dark skin"

Not sure about you, but I decided to shop bulk after being shocked at how much plastic and packaging a single order of groceries generated. After a few trips to Berkeley Bowl on the weekends I realized that I like bulk items, but not bulk shopping.

Some of my complaints: commute to bulk store, battling the weekend madness, keeping track of the PLU#, remembering to bring and weigh containers, managing my pantry inventory, and not to mention all of the plastic that still went along with buying bulk.

Does anyone else feel the same way? How can the bulk shopping experience be improved for you?

I came up with a zero waste bulk refill model, similar to the milk man service from the olden days, but for your pantry (BeFulfild.com). The service allows you to: 1) shop for your bulk goods online (save time + avoid the weekend crowds), 2) schedule regularly occurring refills (put your pantry on cruise control), 3) receive your food in reusable glass jars (more eco-friendly + pantry looks better).

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
So, I took delivery last week the day before the price changes. I went back the next day asking how I could work with them to find a solution since I was in the return window and now the product was $2.9k less expensive. That was a bummer, especially since FSD was 3k. I might as well push them because I was in the return window and the money could be used to purchase FSD. I was told by more than one service center experience employee that a full return was my only way to get a refund and then I should "just reorder at the new price."

Ok, so I returned. I was asked to reset the car, hand over my keys, and then told I was set to go. I had to ask, insistently, for proof that I had returned the car. They were just going to send me off with no letter, no email, nothing - just a literal IOU with no proof. I finally got a letter after some poking - it's one sentence that mentions my name and VIN but includes no financial details. I was then told the process will take six weeks.

So, while you can return, the process, in my opinion, is insane. Once you return, you're forced to wait for several weeks with no idea when, or if you will be refunded; even then you have no idea what they will actually send back to you. I am waiting for some undetermined period of time for ~$62,000 sent back to me ... I have no idea how they will actually send it to me.

Now, I really want to order another Model 3, but this whole process has been insane. I cannot see most people being comfortable with it. Ever.

One thing I am curious about is why "fast lane" traffic is sold for so inexpensive a price to favored companies. Prices that are a lot less than a typical consumer could pay for extra transfer.
if you think hiring is a fair meritocracy you are naive.

Good looking people tend get hired more often. Get higher salaries.

And getting hired is often about good your network is. And the richer you are or your parents are, the likelier you are to get an internship or a coveted job because you are around the "right" people.

And there is also Cronyism, which I have realized is more prevalent that I thought as my career has advanced.

Did you hear that on Fox News?
I mean yes that's the general problem with all counterfeit products - if they're "good enough" there's no economy of scale for the non-counterfeit, so it becomes even more expensive. My point was that if manufacturers are seeking to keep prices from plummeting, then perhaps they can agree to stop competing so hard on price that they're pushed into undermining the functionality of their products.
In my mind, these big players need to sort out the fields where they're lacking years ago. I can think of about 4 off the top of my head.

1: Batteries and battery tech ( the supply field is limited and Tesla has the biggest leverage here )

2: Self driving, just way way way ahead of the competition you listed ( though i do think Japanese and European brands will start to catch up)

3: Supercharging network (way faster charging, way more coverage)

4: Operating system (Tesla's car is a comprehensive piece of code, the rest of the OEMs can't even send over the air updates for much more than their map, Tesla just gave its car 15 mile extra range for free, has fixed breaking issues in the past, etc... with software update)

And I just don't think they're agile enough to compete with Tesla.
Modern PC gaming in Windows is a giant money pit. 2000+ for a machine, 100+ a month for broadband, and even more for the games, services. Then the people that I meet that do this are hardly ever satisfied with their games and are constantly dropping money on the next release. Seem's like a waste of time and money to me. I have more fun playing open source games for free personally.

Federal elected officials spend 70% of their time now fundraising, so they only listen to their donors. And their donors are billionaires and large institutions.

So there is no statistical correlation now between an issue's popularity and whether it gets passed into law (voters have been disenfranchised).

Meaning the next bailout will happen exactly the same as the last one, unless left-right coalitions and other organizations work to end corruption at the local grassroots level and work their way up to state and federal.
Taxify Rebrands as Bolt
I'm completely with you. It baffles me how many people loved Liu Cixin's book. It's written like a 70's era 'ideas, no execution' sci-fi novel, but the ideas are terrible. I mean, the central 'xeno-anthropology' thing, that's treated as like a deeply profound maths proof, is kinda a brain fart.

If you read a writer like Peter Tchaikovsky, you get actually interesting ideas, and really good execution. And I'd say PT is pretty mid-range for contemporary sci-fi authors. People like Yoon Ha Lee or China Mieville are really pushing the genre forward. Lui Cixin's work on the other hand reads like one of those 70's books about uplifted dolphins and sexy spacewomen, all robotic characterization and uninspired writing.

Yeah, I've spent a long time considering the Venezuela scenario. You can't mine there because all the good mining setups get nationalized ([1], [2]) so let's leave that method of acquisition off the table.

That means the only way to get some is by exchanging. You can either:

(1) Exchange with someone else in the country someone who already has bitcoins (let's say they mined them). In Venezuela, there remains the exact same number of both Bolivars and Bitcoin, so it's zero-sum. Neither Venezuela nor Venezuelans are better off by this exchange because nothing's changed.

(2) Exchange with someone outside the country. Problem 1: Who on Earth will take your worthless Bolivars? Problem 2: If you do manage to find someone who will take your worthless Bolivars, why wouldn't you take US dollars instead (since you can trade freely, you may as well just open a USD bank account somewhere). Or some other asset that hasn't lost 80% of its value in the last year? Gold? Equities? Gold equities? The list is truly endless. If you find someone to take your worthless Bolivar bags for real assets there are much, much better assets.

The fiat-value behind Bitcoin doesn't just spark into existence, willed by the devout masses. It's not like Venezuelans can suddenly mine Bitcoin in a way nobody else can because of their bad government. They also definitely don't all have Bitcoin in a way they can just ignore the balance of their bank accounts.

How do you solve the initial distribution problem in a way that makes sense?

I understand most of your concerns, and it seems like we'll have to agree to disagree to some extent.

FWIW, I specifically addressed several concerns regarding use of `getState` in my post "Idiomatic Redux: Thoughts on Thunks, Sagas, Abstraction, and Reusability" [0].

I agree that trying to fully capture the potentially dynamic behavior with static types can be painfully difficult. I don't actually use TS myself, yet, but we've definitely had lots of issues pop up related to this (such as [1] ), and I think I get the general issues involved. Unfortunately, I don't have any real suggestions to offer on this front, both because my TS knowledge is limited to "declare types for function params and object fields", and because I'm not sure there _are_ ways around that.

Having said that, our new Redux Starter Kit package [2] is specifically intended to help simplify a number of common Redux use cases, and I'd encourage anyone using Redux to try it out.

Long-term, we plan to revamp the Redux docs content [3], and I hope to improve a lot of the teaching workflow. I also hope to make RSK the "default" way to use Redux for most people.

> Do you use it even if you plan the trip well in advance?

Yes, often. I'll check there first at least.

If it's a special occasion (Valentine's Day for example) I'll probably use another booking platform.

> Have you ever run into problems finding a room or being forced to take a room in a distant part of town?

Yes, never been worse than the main booking sites though. I was in SF at the same time as the Salesforce conference was taking place a few years back, for example. Nothing available anywhere.
I've had HotelTonight installed on my phone for years, but have only had to use it once or twice. I only travel a few times a year and tend to use it when my plans fall through. I generally book ahead of time, often with the hotel directly.

The most obvious example I had using it was when I missed a flight and it was rebooked for the next morning. I was tired and I remember getting in a cab/Uber and finding out the friend who dropped me off wasn't able to let me crash there for the night. Before we had left the airport I had booked a room nearby and could direct the driver there. The hotel was nice. I might have had to wait 10m for the hotel to receive a fax confirming my booking (faxing reservations seems to be pretty common with a lot of hotels).

There's no way I could have done that booking directly. It would have taken me 10x as long to figure out which hotels were nearby, near my cost, what rooms were available, and check out. I do those things when booking ahead of time, but they're also much harder to do on a phone.

I'll be bummed if it I lose this contingency.

But the hotel websites aren't the cheapest prices. They get around it by selling the discount rooms through sites like hotwire or Priceline. So you can't actually see the name of the hotel until checkout. I frequently get cheaper prices than the hotel site by going through hotwire.

That is actually a really interesting challenge: to have a completely self-contained dictionary. Especially in 1963, before modern automation, the proofreading required must have been a Herculean task.

Perhaps this could be some kind of measure for answering this question in and of itself: what is the smallest useful self-contained natural language dictionary that one can write?

This reminds me of this article: https://web.stanford.edu/~learnest/les/mongrel.htm
The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary has a “Defining vocabulary” that they claim is used to write almost all definitions (I used the Fifth edition, where it is appendix 10). It’s about 8½ pages, with 5 columns of about 63 lines, so about 2,700 words.

It doesn’t list inflections, proper names, adjectives for colors such as yellowish and words used in an entry that derive from that entry (the dictionary mentions blearily and bleary-eyed being used in the definition of bleary)

They also say they occassionally had to use a word not in the list, but don’t say how often they had to. Those words _are_ defined in the dictionary, so it is possible that the reference graph does not have any cycles.

So, I guess 3,000 is a good first guess.
0 obviously. Babies start with no definitions of words, but here we all are.

The baby learns the words via example, not by definitions.
Interesting insight into some of the mechanisms that go on. We had 4 hens that got on pretty well for the most part. We also had a few ducks housed in the same pen. They also got on fairly well. I wonder how different species interactions in birds could be mapped to human behaviour? We have probably a dozen different wild birds that visit our yard and it is interesting watching how they interact.
Most names (first name plus surname) are not unique.
Mostly because people don't really use any of the products Amazon releases at scale. There's a reason why it's called Google scale and not Amazon scale.

Also because as humans, we're generally more inclined to dogpile onto the Goliath and root for the David. Underdogs almost always get treated more leniently.

>> words sufficient to define all other words.

Often the reason we have a word for a concept is precisely because no other combination of words would do. I'd suggest that the article's attempt to "define" one word with another is an oversimplification. It is not enough to sufficiently define a word, to convey its most common understanding. To declare a word superfluous, replaceable, one must define it absolutely. For many words I'd expect such a definition to fill an entire volume, not a short sentence.

The author also forgets that words have layers beyond literal meanings. Their tone, their length, and even their spelling can convey different meanings depending on context.

That's called opaque pricing, and that's different since you are getting a discount in exchange for not knowing which specific hotel you are getting to stay at so it's not exactly comparable to going to your preferred hotel's website and choosing the room you want. However, as I have edited into my prior comments, I am finding that the best price guarantees may not apply on the day of arrival, and third party websites are evidently cheaper than hotel websites. Seems like a shortsighted move since now I don't trust the hotel website to have the cheapest price, so I'll go via third party websites and hotels have to pay commission.
IMO the whole cashless/alt currency movement indicates to me that the Government failed to innovate to the benefit of it's citizens.

Same boat here. I am Cuban, but basically completely white. A lot of people don't realize that Hispanic is a cultural designation that encompasses multiple races. Many are of native or mixed Central and South American descent. Many are black, descendants of Africans. Many are white. Peru has a large Japanese diaspora, so I guess it's possible to have Asian Hispanics as well (though I've never met anyone that identifies as such).
