> I'm curious if the runtime flag to enable JITless mode could also be enabled at compile time, removing the JIT compiler from the binary entirely. That could be really useful for projects where memory comes at a premium (and performance is not a major concern), like micropython but for JavaScript.

Theoretically yes, but this is not implemented. It should not be too hard to drastically reduce binary size with a build-time flag.

> I assume this also doesn't support WASM when the JIT is disabled (or rather, when you can't write to executable memory), but if it did it could be a neat way to write decently performant software for tiny systems with just some JavaScript "glue".

Correct, wasm is currently unsupported. Interpreted wasm is possible in the future, but would likely be very slow.
Just my experience, but I didn't wake up during the surgery; I had a surgery with half of my body paralyzed. My vital signs remained stable (in particular, heart rate <= 60 and blood pressure 120/80). I was exceptionally fit at that time, I am sure that helped somewhat.

I was watching the whole surgery live, so to say, but I was also a little bit sedated. Felt no pain, though.
So you want to start an MSP?
Personally I doubt that AWD and tow capacity will matter to most folks. Also, I guess we'll have to wait and see how Model Y does in those areas.
Spotify has already turned off the ability for new accounts to pay to upgrade to a premium account inside their iOS app last year.

You pay for your account on Spotify's own web site, which bypasses Apple getting any cut at all.

Netflix has done the same thing.

In my book, the problem is that you are not allowed to provide a link to your payment website inside your app.
It’s important to define exactly what is “anti-competitive.” If Apple banned Spotify or Deezer, that could be considered anti-competitive. But they aren’t. Netflix has original programming, is that anti-competitive? Don’t Netflix originals compete against non-Netflix shows for streaming revenue? Are there alternatives to Netflix? Yes. Are there alternatives to the App Store? Yes: Spotify could, for example be web-only if they wanted to. Spotify also could sell on macOS, Windows, Chrome, Android, and Linux. “Having an app” isn’t a particular right, but even a requirement for reaching users. Also, they don’t have to sell their subscriptions via in-app purchase; that can be done via web without paying Apple’s commission.
Not on Chrome mobile though, where you still cannot add search engines manually.
Indeed, the EV world is getting more and more interesting.

I take my hat off to Tesla for being a big part in making this happen.
There is also no violation in the proposed experiment because they put energy into the system to do their "reversal"
I don't know, I've lived in a few real-world small towns and have never had a shopkeeper ask for personal details as part of a transaction.

That’s the same as Microsoft saying you can go to Best Buy and pick up a copy of Netscape Navigator
Probably so that they may track which searches people are performing on DuckDuckGo
I don’t understand what the story here is supposed to be.

Did you catch the parts about Tesla harassing Tripp in a whole bunch of outlandish and basically thuggish ways in response -- ranging from a bogus $167m lawsuit up to apparently lying to the local police about him planning a mass shooting?

That's what the story was about.
Microsoft bundled IE for the express purpose of putting Netscape out of business and used their market power to kill netscape. It’s not illegal to be a monopoly, it’s illegal to abuse that monopoly position. Google can make Maps and chrome and whatever, but they can’t force Samsung to not bundle a competeing maps app.

It's still working very well for Amazon, and the company evaluated alternatives and choose to stick with packages because they have the right granularity.
And now I understand why Charlie Rose had Gay Tealese on his show at every possible opportunity through the 90s.

His prose captures mood masterfully.
He actually, perhaps extremely naively, thought that Tesla would fix these issues if they were public. It sounded like he more or less supported Tesla and what Tesla was doing, but also felt like they were doing things that were unsafe, and did not feel like he was successful in elevating the issue internally.

But I would argue the larger part of the article is not about what Tripp did, but that Elon Musk likely committed a few crimes in response to it.
True.

What she saw as a school principal, she said, was that when arts were integrated into the curriculum, “learning became more visible.” Teachers told her “the children would remember the information better when they taught it through the arts.”
Indeed.

The term 2.5D has been obscured to the point that it no longer carries any useful meaning. We should all stop using it.

New Super Mario Bros is a 2D platformer with 3D graphics.
> There is significantly more genetic variety in the single black "race" than all others put together. You could try dividing blacks into three or twelve different races but those lines are quite difficult to draw.

Not only that, people want to continue using the existing (extremely flawed) categories, and that's where it leads you to problems.

"More genetic variety in a single race than between races" is a great argument for why you shouldn't discriminate based on race -- even if the mean for some "race" is higher or lower, that doesn't tell you much about the individual before you.

But it does tell you something about aggregate statistics. When you discover that some "race" is underrepresented in some field, it's completely possible that a major cause is that the median in that arbitrarily defined racial category is below the median in another arbitrarily defined racial category. Which can be true even when a significant minority in the worse off racial category is above the median in the better off racial category -- which minority constitute most of the people of that "race" who are represented in that field.

Ideally the solution is to recognize "race" as a garbage category with no scientific basis and stop using it for anything, ever again. But that is where politics gets in the way, because people have built their political coalitions around the flawed concept that categorization based on race is anything more than an error.
Keeping your wealth is what's good about our society. It makes us want to work hard to pass our wealth on to our children. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

There's also nothing preventing you from creating wealth.

Like laws, forcing you to redistribute the wealth you created to people that didn't. Other than taxes, anyway.
I wonder if it was grassroots or astroturf in origin. Following money, pharma is the only looser if some folks can live with out constntly being drugged and disabled.
> Just because YOU want this doesn't mean the Apple users want it. I'm utterly content with a single, curated-by-Apple app store for iOS. I like the stability it affords the platform.

And you should be able to choose that. But should you change your mind, you should be able to take your purchases with you and go elsewhere. Although apple is in the spotlight here, all of these vendor-locked app-stores are the problem.
I see the connection, but I guess I'm missing something. Why would the US want those documents?
At first thought, you'd think: All that would be needed to make this happen would be for gmail, outlook mail, and Apple's clients to support signed and/or encrypted mail and display a logo if the digital signature matches, say, a signature in your contacts.

But spammers would probably just throw a "signed" or "verified" logo or text at the bottom of the mail and fool or confuse most people into trusting an email they shouldn't trust.

sad but true. I'd be interested to know if this data (i.e. non-Google search engine queries) is sent to Google. I'm assuming it is.
Pandora has an Apple Watch app which allows their music to be stored on the watch for offline playback.
This is important to do early, or not at all. I was in a technically-driven startup. Couple of years in, the management team changed and development got a less-technical manager who could talk manager-ese to the President. But he quit paying the slightest attention to Engineering, made silly decisions and bogged the product down in a quagmire it never recovered from.

So, the right hire here from the start is critical.
Musk is heavily involved in the engineering efforts at Tesla and SpaceX. Losing him would not be a good thing for these companies despite his public antics.
The Kindle iPhone app still doesn't even link you to the website so you can buy books does it? It only looks like I can add it to a "list" that I assume I can view in the browser and then purchase.
Back in 2007, I was in a metal structure and made a cell phone call. I was connected to someone else's conversation. I have no idea if they heard me, but I could hear them. I think it was some bug/glitch with the telco. Perhaps something similar happened.
it's not a monopoly (which your parent also didn't say), but since it's still the biggest piece of pie in the marketshare it's certainly not a "minority" as your parents parent said
For a majority of SUV owners in the US, especially for an electric, I don't think they'll care. They want a high seat position, roomy interior, and maybe to project an image that they could drive off-road even though they won't.
We would not need a router or firewall. Probably not a wifi either. All stationary devices will be wired in. And mobiles would use 6G or 7G. Where I live (sweden) you can already get 10Gbe. Now imagine the possibilities. For example VR with less then a ms latency to closest datacenter. Where your device is just a thin client. Microsoft are

Is the interface between browser and search engine not explicitly defined? Why can't I add an arbitrary web application as a search engine for chrome?

It's one thing to make an app, it's an entirely different thing to get it through the App Store review process.

Did that guy's app make it on the App Store? He could have easily built it with private APIs which would work but wouldn't pass review (maybe, App Review is very inconsistent) or many other reasons why he could and Spotify couldn't.
IQ and the rest of psychometrics replicates, as does personality psychology. Massive sample sizes, people strongly motivated to get things right and generations of intelligent people trying to prove them wrong, many of whom have gone into psychometrics themselves have ensured that psychometrics has very sound backing.

Saying psychology as a whole is disreputable is just anti-intellectual know nothingism. The divide between psychophysics (the study of perception) and neuroscience is as great as that between social psychology and sociology, small. Trying to denounce all of psychology by association with social psychology just betrays ignorance. The same applies to many, many papers in the exact sciences.

> In cancer science, many “discoveries” don’t hold up

Result: 47 of the 53 could not be replicated. He described his findings in a commentary piece published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.

Those are both good city cars by experienced manufacturers with perfectly usable interiors and good build quality. What they are lacking is the viability as a general-purpose car suitable for long trips and the autopilot features Tesla offers.
> Running your own mailserver is next to impossible because of dealing with both incoming spam AND having to keep up with the newest "anti-spam" trends that your server isn't blacklisted AND having to keep up with security updates.

I know this is a common perception, but I don't think that it has more than a kernel of truth to it. I run my own mailserver, and it requires me to spend, on average, maybe an hour a month in maintenance.
Antitrust was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Doing it automatically based of statistics would work toward that end as well.
I agree all those things are true, but I don't see how they are relevant to the point. Are you perhaps claiming that social media evolved differently in some of those countries and so one of them serves as some sort of contrasting example to the article?
Show HN: Graph Processing with Postgres and GraphBLAS
My doctor[1] says the PACE trial was very flawed in methodology and interpretation of results, and set back research significantly because it was seen to show "it's all in your head" (if I understand correctly), thus discouraging research into physical causes. She also says the only known effective treatment is to learn good pacing: careful budgeting of one's energy expense.

But regardless of whether we agree medically or otherwise, we should treat each other with courtesy.

I'd be more interested in the experience that you mentioned, if you're willing to share it. Individual personal experiences aren't compelling in the way that certain arguments can be, but there's also some inherent validity (and for me at least, interest) to them even when if they're not necessarily representative.
reliable exponential? No.

Same with Gogs and Gitea. I think GitLab was as well at one point.

It’s popular, so it makes sense to gain exposure. At least initially.
I do it frequently as well. It has yet to be a problem.
I think that you're misunderstanding your parent, who is not, to my reading, saying that people will show up at your work and beat you up or yell at you, but rather that they will campaign to get you fired.

For example, Scott Alexander of Slate Star Codex mentioned in a recent post that people had called his employer and tried to get him fired because of the comments of people on his blog and the subreddit associated with it. (And he blogs pseudonymously, for whatever it's worth).
It is also often followed with a statement that the real authority on the issue didn't even bother responding with any comments, when in all likelihood the journalists also didn't try very hard to reach anyone. As it is in this case.
What other properties does your hypothetical ball have which aren't preserved?
1) That's a complex question. The maintenance and curation of the system itself and the data within it is a non-trivial task, which adds overhead. If you don't right-size your process/system to your needs, and maintain it adequately, then it very well could be a net negative on resource efficiency. Plenty of people will blindly follow what the system recommends, even when a basic sanity check would warn you otherwise.

On that note, different companies define resource efficiency differently. You adjust your model according to your priorities. If you're fine with a certain level of out of stock products or long lead times, you can bake that into your model. With the net result (when coupled with supply planning) being that you reduce the amount of working capital tied up in inventory, at risk of reducing sale volume by not having stock when someone requests it. Or you can go the other way and prioritize in-stock status, which will incorporate a buffer into your model to account for enough variability to never be out of stock when an order comes through. But you'll tie up massive amounts of working capital in inventory costs to do so.

2) I don't have any off the top of my head. But some of hte terms to look at are ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning), demand planning, just in time planning, demand forecasting

3) There are all kinds of systems for different scale businesses and different industries. SAP is the dominant player in large scale supply chains, but there are plenty of smaller players as well both in supply chain and other industries. You also don't necessarily need an external product - at one point in time, I was planning about $300MM in inventory and about $1BN in demand using Excel. We did that manually for almost a year, replicating the entire model and just pulling the raw data from SAP to input into the Excel model, in order to validate a new technique in a variety of our manufacturing plants before dropping ~$100MM+ to have SAP create a custom planning module for us using the methodology. It was a pain to abuse Excel to the extent to use that quantity of data (before the days of PowerQuery and being able to embed an entire SQL database into Excel). But functionally, it worked perfectly.

My email is in my profile - feel free to reach out. I can probably give you a bit more targeted advice if I knew more about your business itself.
Just to clarify my opinion, I believe there is incredible value in education. But if you are paying to join a social club that isn't education.

There is an old saying "It isn't what you know its who you know". Ray Dalio says that line of thinking is disastrous. Its all about personality and experience. You put the right people in the proper places and its golden, and you can qualify those results (and who are the right people) with data.
I keep wondering what the deal is with JS on the backend? Why does everyone love it so much? Let's not forget the 10-day design, dynamic typing (and weakly typed, compared with python), slowness, null vs. undefined, etc. JS is a scripting language; they're supposed to be for controlling the behavior of applications (i.e. browsers), not writing applications in and of themselves. Not to mention the dependency hell, NPM insecurity, etc. I see the purpose for limited use in websites, but definitely not the PWA or backend stuff.

Can someone who uses it happily on the backend talk about why they like it and why it's good?
A genetic test to see whether someone has ancestry from Melenasia or Sudan or Scotland is likely to give a different result than casual visual classification. The latter is what we commonly call "race".

RSI from typing is typically caused by excessive wrist extension, though wrist pronation, ulnar deviation, etc. can also be bad. As can any other un-neutral body position held for a long time while working.

The way to prevent it is to type with a posture such that all of the joints of the arm/hand (not to mention neck, shoulders, etc.) are in a neutral position with as little static load as possible.

This can be accomplished more or less on a standard keyboard, but is much easier with a keyboard that has a split halves, tented. It is also helpful to type with a light, bouncy style, which can be helped by careful choice of keyswitches.
That's not exactly surprising given that the different configurations caused by planetary orbits recur in a timeframe of years and decades, i.e. within a human lifetime, while stellar orbits are measured in hundreds of millions of years.
Is this the first of a wave of anti-anti-trust moves by big tech? It's a play that I certainly would advise. It makes sense to trade marginal revenue with low hanging fruit gestures like these to take the air out of folks like Warren and the European Competition Committee.

> It blocked Spotify from using a podcasting API after it acquired 2x major podcasting companies

Is this talking about the Apple Watch-Podcasting issue? Until recently, podcast apps on the watch had issues saving where you are in an episode because they couldn't constantly run in the background; you could still play audio in the background without your app, you just couldn't watch the percentage played. Fitness tracking apps were allowed to run in the background forever, so some podcast apps told the API they were fitness apps to get around the restriction [0]. Apple later removed this loophole and created the APIs necessary for podcast apps to work on the watch [1].

I think stats for most SUVs show that 90% of them don't ever leave paved roads. People buy them because they "feel safe" and they're practical as they're big and roomy.
Someone downvoted me, and I'm not sure why. Am I incorrect by saying it's possible to completely remove the blindspot? It has been in ever car I've owned, rented, or borrowed.

Am I wrong in stating it's because people want to see the side of their car? It was for me when I first started driving and for everyone else I've asked.

Is it because of my belief that people should only be licensed to drive if they can do so safely?

If I'm wrong, please give me the opportunity to learn what you believe is right. I'm open to improving myself, and recognize that I am not, nor ever will be 100% right in everything.
