I've also been working on handstands a lot recently, and I've found this very hit and miss. Sometimes I will come back and be much better than previously, and sometimes I will totally suck after a break. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground there.

I've found handbalancing in general to be very frustrating in that sometimes it will go really well, and other times I will totally suck, and there's no obvious reason why. i.e. I slept ok, I ate breakfast, I'm not particularly stressed or unfocused, but it just won't work at all. And then the next day will be fine.

This is what we do on EsperNet (https://webchat.esper.net/), for what it's worth - using a forked version of The Lounge with some minor changes. It works reasonably well, but we do have to run it in public mode which limits some of the advantages (e.g. the bouncer-like behaviour).

With that said, it's a well made application and is a big improvement upon CGI:IRC and Iris. xPaw and astorije are great, too.
Do you have any concrete examples of the effects of this "prioritization" or it's just speculation?
I use Flutter almost exclusively for iOS and I haven't seen any difference in development or user experience so far.
There is a useful distinction between "properties" and "functions" that appears in some languages: properties exist in memory and so can be addressed. This is particularly important for "systems"/low-level programming, where addresses are often manipulated directly and need to be stable/controlled.

In languages like C, C++ and Rust, properties are things that are definitely in memory, and functions/methods are things that may not be. If you have an interface like `count` that may be dynamic, it should be uniformly expressed as a method/function (that may have a trivial "return count;" implementation).

On the other, Swift has to put a non-trivial amount of infrastructure into making sure all the things with property syntax can behave as if they are backed by memory, so that an address/pointer can be generated for them (in the general case, a temporary pointer, that becomes invalid quickly).
That doesn't make it incompatible as readings.

It's not even that one is right and the other is wrong.

Both can have right and wrong points we can adopt (even if either of them would want us to take all of their points wholesale).

I'm not so sure. Overworked people are less happy and less healthy, and therefore less productive. I wouldn't be surprised if these extreme hours have no tangible benefit for the productivity of the company.

The only way working extreme hours can be sustainable is if the workers are self-driven, in control of their work environment, and believe in what they're building. So that's founders and possibly other early employees. But not a large corporation where most people are probably just a cog in a large machine.

Even if David could afford to sue Goliath, and even if he won, Goliath would just lobby for small changes to the law to further strip rights away from all the falsely accused Davids.

I'm not saying the little guy shouldn't sue; people should stand up for themselves whenever they are accused of wrongdoing, and especially when they know for a fact they are innocent. The problem is, even when suing and winning sets a precedent, the big players just move the goalposts again. There's never going to be an easy solution that satisfies both content creators and content consumers short of massive copyright reform and hard criminal instead of soft civil penalties for making bogus DMCA claims.
When people say GC in computer science, they don’t typically mean reference counting. Reference counting is an automatic memory management scheme along side GC, not inside it. One way to think of it is that if it lacks a separate GC phase and can’t deal with cycles, it isn’t GC.

Acidity Symptoms

Burning sensation or stomach pain most noticed acidity symptoms. Chest pain, inflammation in chest encircles acidity symptoms. Feeling hungry frequently common acidity symptoms. Constant pain in upper abdomen, belching well known acidity symptoms. General acidity symptoms are nausea, bitter mouth taste, vomiting, coughing. Prolonged acidity symptoms include respiratory problems, pain during muscular contractions and pain in ears. These discussed acidity symptoms are very painful and results by following acidity causes.
Acidity Causes

Stomach derangements lead to excess acid by gastric gland and considered as main acidity causes. Medical conditions like gastrointestinal reflux disease, ulcers acts important acidity causes. Anxiety, stress is normal acidity causes. Hyperthyroidism, improper salivation in the mouth or insomnia considered common acidity causes. Lack of exercise, diet rich in fatty, fried, and spicy food are most observed acidity causes. Excessive intake tea and coffee, alcohol, smoking leads acidity causes.

It's quite similar to Rust... if Rust literally used Arc<Mutex<T>> everywhere. And Arc<Mutex<T>> everywhere might actually have lower throughput than tracing GC! (Though it's arguably preferable for low-latency code, so it might make some sense for the typical use cases of ObjC and Swift.)

> I think that a combination of both works well also, especially if the icon enhances the meaning of the text and the text enhances the meaning of the icon.

It's also a neat way to resolve issue with text-only buttons in multilingual software. From time to time, I find myself in front of an OS, an app or a website that's familiar to me, but is set to a language I don't know. Having an icon next to the text is very helpful then. That said, it's a rare case, so if I had to choose just one, I'd prefer text over icons.

Games are a prime proof that even a slightly motivated user has very little problems learning whatever UI style you created, as long as it's totally not absurd and/or you help them a bit along the way.
For me it's exactly the other way around.

Having "first" as a property feels like exposing implementation details to me. Sure, a array/vector is a contiguous slice of memory filled with items of a certain size. But the vector/array is is basically a pointer to the start of the memory + a size, so "first" is not a inherent part of the data structure, rather a computed/derived property.

When I see a property I think member of a struct, which is not the case here.

(ps: this is all really just hair splitting, it's a minor difference that you would get used to pretty quickly either way)
Did John Wilkes Booth Get Away with Murdering President Abraham Lincoln?
I see two use cases, Swift is a precompiled language unlike C# or Java so a call to a method through a protocol (an interface) can not be inlined.
Let suppose you have an interface IList and an IEnumerator,

interface IList<T> {
IEnumerable<T> iterator();
}

it means that despite the fact that you may know the exact implementation of the IList, you have no idea of the exact type of the method iterator() at compile time because it's hidden behind an interface.

Enter the existential types,

interface IList<T> {
type IEnumerator<T> Iterator; // this is a type declaration

Iterator iterator();
}

now if you have an implementation of IList, you will have

class FunnyList<T>: IList<T> {
type FunnyListEnumerator<T> Iterator;

Iterator iterator();
}

so at compile time, when you use a FunnyList, the compiler knows the exact type of the method iterator().

The other usual use case, which is a restricted version, is to be able to specified the variance at use site, like the wildcards in Java (List<? extends Foo>) which is a way to specify that you don't want a method to be parameterized but you want a type of a parameter to be covariant

void foo<T:Foo>(List<T> list) // the method is parameterized

void foo(List<some Foo> list) // the type is parameterized

C# doesn't have variance at use site, only at definition site with 'in' and 'out', Kotlin has both. Scala and C++ with type name form.

If you look at the quasi-1D form of the thrust equation, you'll note the two terms I mentioned. Yes, you can integrate the surface pressure times the surface normals to get the pressure contribution to thrust, which will be negative in the case of the specific regions of the nozzle that are at lower-than-ambient pressure. As long as the geometric throat of the nozzle is sonic (as it would be in any meaningful rocket engine) and you have some divergent portion after the throat, the whole nozzle will not be at negative pressure thrust. But to say "the nozzle is producing negative thrust" is fallacious because in any non-trivial case, the rate of momentum change term in the thrust equation, i.e., the first one, will be very significant, and hence the flow leaving the nozzle will be contributing to thrust regardless of if it was overexpanded within the nozzle or not. Even in the most overexpanded case, the nozzle directly contributed to accelerating the flow - how can you say the nozzle is not producing thrust?

You can construct some pathological cases, like a very small thruster that is highly overexpanded to get the rate of momentum change term at or below the magnitude of the pressure contribution, but that doesn't represent a practical rocket engine (maybe more like a Reaction Control System thruster fired at ambient conditions).

I suspect your notion of thrust may be based just on the pressure contribution and is missing the rate of momentum change term, which will be significantly larger than the pressure term in launch system rocket engines.

If the DMCA allowed the accused to sue then I would assume EFF would do it.
I don't think it's just motivation. Video games are different from regular software also in that they do explain their UI to newcomers, whereas explaining anything is anathema to modern UI design. That's IMO a big problem, and why I find myself liking UIs in video games more than in "work" software.

Some webapps offer videogame-style guides on the first launch - I'm thinking of e.g. UI tours that highlight elements and tell you what they do. It's a good pattern.

Interesting to see how this compares to how we run things for EsperNet.

- We don't use much cloud technology at present. That means we run our own DNS nameservers (using PowerDNS and a single MySQL node - AXFR and slave nameservers give us redundancy [1]). We implement Let's Encrypt renewals on top of this using the DNS challenge and have some custom software to securely push certificates to the IRC servers. This keeps costs down.

- We've replaced our old Iris webchat with The Lounge in public mode, which is fully containerised.

- We have some additional infrastructure for staff: our LDAP directory, an IdP which runs on top and provides SAML & OIDC auth, Git for code and some internal web services for pooling/depooling servers and monitoring.

- Some of the staff have written services and IRCd modules to help control spam and support connection limit exemptions (for e.g. bouncers).

[1] This allowed us to continue operating with no user-visible impact when we had a hardware failure on the primary DNS box.

> Nvidia is just too entrenched with gamers

No reason to think that. Ryzen showed that despite years of neglecting gamers (FX really was horrible for games) they come back as soon as the offer is better. Maybe less in the first generation, but in the second of just having the better offer they do (with the Ryzen 2000 series).

AMD is already still popular in the RX 570/580 segment, if Navi were competitive AMD would be fine there.

CUDA might be a different story, that depends on the software and if tensorflow etc is even still relevant then.

Not just silicon miracle. Especially a driver miracle.

Right now AMD is kinda usable-ish on DX and so and so in OpenCL if one spends a lot of time optimizing specifically for them.

Their OpenGL support is atrocious. Their Vulkan implementation is full of bugs.

AMD has had issues with drivers for ages. And there is no improvement in sight.
No because in Rust and C++ using smart pointers is an explicit choice that is applied manually when required and is present both in the type signature everywhere a reference counted type is used, and in the construction of values.

In Swift the reference counting is a implementation detail of automatic and transparent memory management. (that you only really have to care about when you have cycles)

That's why Swift definitely counts as a GC language for me.

Sure, if you put things behind a Arc<T> or shared_ptr you use reference counting in C++ and Rust, but it is not an inherent feature of the language.
Ask HN: Do you think my clients idea has any worth in project management?
A client came to me a while back with an idea to build a tool. I originally built it for the guy to use with his clients, however, he then decided to make the tool available for everyone - but feedback hasn't been favourable, most people say there is no value for the tool.

To start, my client is a business coach in the UK. He goes into companies that know what they want to do but don't know how to achieve it. Usually, this results in him producing an Object Tree (example here built using the tool I made: https://imgur.com/a/v6q0jyD). My client approached me to build a tool that allows you to drag and drop boxes into place, assign boxes to team members, set dates etc. You can export PDF's and print them out and you can also generate a Gantt chart. The system also sends you reminders when an object is due.

My business doesn't plan projects in this way, we usually load everything into productive.io. But, is there anyone out there that prefers to work in this more visual way?

Due to budgets when we start, we built a very basic tool (more of a prototype). Our team is willing to put the time and effort into re-developing ths tool if there are people that think there is a worth for this. For a start with a rebuild we could consider adding AI. Also, is there anything we can add to increase it's worth?

Feel free to ask questions if you need more information.

All options are on the table, including putting this to bed so please be honest.
UI polish and runtime performance, as I've mentioned. I said "seems to" because I only see the effects: the Cupertino widgets, and the marked performance differences on Android and iOS (see the Alibaba article). I don't know whether this is purposeful or a side-effect of something else.
But if the platform ignores the DMCA takedown, the alleged infringer will never know, and so cannot sue.

I think the original question is if the platform can sue the person sending the DMCA takedown, for some kind of harassment. Because the platform itself will also investigate before taking content down.
Good point - it's an entirely unrealistic number. It's just hit 1pm and I'm on my 6th already.

Easier said than done, and I don't think camouflaging them was ever a priority. Even today, you can see the excavated material spilling down the hill in front of large bunkers 70+ years later, which makes them fairly easy to locate: https://www.cios.org.je/assets/images/other/noirmont-headlan...

Also getting time to reflect without bombardment of new information.
Why? Remember that at this point, Google Docs is "sticky". Its audience is to some degree captive, and won't switch just because the document lags a bit on Firefox. What would they switch to? Office365, for which they have to pay? It wouldn't even solve their problem, as the document in question is a link they got from a friend, already in Google Docs. It's just easier to switch to Chrome.

Most of SaaS applications operate in this regime - they own user data, so they become "sticky" and non-substitutable very quickly. On the other hand, standardization of browser features makes browsers not very "sticky". This way, when a SaaS - any SaaS, not just Google's - works much better on Chrome than on Firefox, this drives adoption of Chrome by that much.
those are just deductibles - i didn't understand what "maximum deductible" meant in that context.

Unfortunately, my experience, at least in my state, is such that none of the premium options are remotely affordable now. $2000/month with a $1000 deductible per year, or $1300/month with an $11000 deductible. Neither of these are anywhere near 'affordable' in my book.
I have small kids and have noticed that they can consistently screw up a task when you’re teaching them something. A few days later, they can suddenly do the task without thinking. I suspect learning happens partly after the fact, analogous to physical exercise.
Ok. But the questions now is: why would you adopt it?

You could use Java/OpenJDK or even Kotlin/OpenJDK.

You could use dotnet core.

You could use Node.js with Typescript.

Or Python/Ruby/PHP/...

All those are mature and support all major operating systems way better than Swift does.

I'm not sure what Swift's Unique Selling Proposition is. From where I'm looking it seems to be: "it's backed by Apple".

“In an eternally inflating universe, anything that can happen will happen; in fact, it will happen an infinite number of times.

Self-interest is rarely an issue by itself. It's the coordination problems that make greed dangerous. Coordinating means recognizing longer-term win-win solutions - cases where sacrificing immediate personal gains leads to bigger personal gains in the future. When coordination fails, people tend to pursue their immediate interests, to the detriment of many (and sometimes all) of them.
