Gmail on Android is already embarrassingly bad for IMAP... The minimum sync period is 15 minutes and it won't sync subfolders until you open them, defeating the entire point.

Reading his list of development tools—Emacs, make, bash—reminded me of this talk by Tim Ewald [Programming with Hand Tools]: https://www.programmingtalks.org/talk/tim-ewald-clojure-prog...

Took me years to appreciate the value of careful study and mastery of simple tools over new and shiny (which still has its place of course).
You're making an argument about "the economy" by focusing on a small part of it (highly skilled individuals). Sounds a bit like "housing was great in the middle ages, just look at the castles where the kings lived".
In the grand scheme of things it's a minor gripe, but I really dislike APIs that encourage chaining of calls like `alt.Chart(data).mark_circle(size=200).encode(...)` from the article. This is found in many other libraries, especially JavaScript ones like e.g. jQuery. I know it's compact, but it makes it harder to see what's going on and hides the fact that all of the operations are actually being applied to the leftmost object.
What I meant was: can my code be read by microsofts servers? (so tunnel = ms-server connects to the server containing the code and then displays it in the browser or sends it to my editor)

SteamOS helped encourage Linux ecosystem and graphics improvements. Proton (Valve's wine solution) has made almost all windows games playable on Steam (some run better than the Linux native versions). Of course DRM issues exist that screw with it though.

I think that Epic Killing Linux native is a shame but I also think that Valve has a long plan to make it a viable platform, and it's only begun, where many assumed they hit and missed.

The fact their VR headset will run on Linux too...

It looks like this won't matter too much to future of Linux gaming is all I'm saying.

Probably better just to proscribe the banks.

The job of the banks is to lend capital to firms and households for the capital development of the economy. So you just make any loan or activity outside that remit unenforceable for regulated banks.

Banking should be boring, particularly if there is an expectation the taxpayer is on the hook in extremis.

it should be noted that ultimately bailing out the financial system comes at the expense of everyday consumers, though in a much more insiduous fashion than one they could see directly. if you believe that no amount of regulation can stop financial chicanery as long as they have those insurance guarantees, then it makes sense.

Browser extension that auto-accepts only functional cookies but blocks the rest
It was a side effect of get_user_pages, which obtains durable references to pages that have to be explicitly dropped. These were held by the logging module independently of the processes interacting with it.

(The kernel thread was actually provide by a system call from user space. So there was a daemon as a user space program, but that just called into the kernel, where it then sat in a loop. This is nice: you have something in user space that you can kill with SIGTERM or whatever and restart by running some /usr/bin/executable.)

If the daemon terminated, that didn't destroy any of the buffers; they would just sit there getting backlogged. New ones could be created, too (via ioctl calls on a character device in /dev).

One aspect was that get_user_pages doesn't give you a linear block of memory. I wrote the grotty C code to dequeue messages from the non-linearly-mapped circular buffer. The message headers could straddle page boundaries, so I copied those out into temporaries before working with them. I think there was some attempt to avoid making unnecessary copies of the bulk data.

Last time I tried to seriously switch from Framework to Core, I was dismayed to find that Assemblies could not be unloaded from memory in Core after they were loaded. That was something that depended on the AppDomain functionality, which existed in Framework only.

You're right, I completely forgot about Etherpad. But I don't consider Etherpad the same as Quilljs or ProseMirror. Etherpad is something you host (an app itself) while the other text editors are something you can build upon/integrate into your app. I didn't want to host an instance of Etherpad, I needed a library.

I wanted an editing experience similar to Medium.com text editor: consistent, well-formed html output and formatting. At the time, Quilljs was one of the best open-source editor that produced consistent output regardless of the browser.

Also I didn't want to store html, I wanted to store operations in the database.

I have an app similar to Figma[1] (basically real-time Sketch) and I needed just the real-time text editing feature.

By indirectly I mean that we have a WebSocket API that does nothing more than expose the primitive streams.

Our frontend client basically reads any stream it needs. And the main problem is, if you have to handle 40+ streams (and that is not even 30% of what's to come), it gets more and more difficult to provide a good user experience.

Thankfully, after much discussion we agreed to do it better... Soon ish.

I don't understand the argument you're trying to make. The summary of it seems to be "Lots of bad things are happening, so why try to do anything about a particular bad thing?" The answer is because that's how you solve problems. You tackle one subproblem, then move on to the next, and continue until no subproblems remain.

The employees are fighting this particular case of injustice because they care about doing so, and because you don't solve a big problem by doing nothing; you have to start somewhere! This is the start.
I said competing not necessarily having sex. Also the numbers are for illustrative purposes, its impossible to know the precise figure but the paradigm itself is very real.

It will be interesting to see whether Rusts async ecosystem gets support for it. However there is a little bit of a challenge in the form of an impedance mismatch: Rust Futures and thereby also async functions require that an operation is cancellable at any point of time (by dropping the respective Future). IO completion based systems (like io_uring and IOCP) typically don't support this. If the operation in the Rust userspace would be cancelled while the Kernel proceeds with the operation the Kernel would act on invalid memory. There are some workarounds for this, like wrapping the APIs in ones that only used owned buffers that are passed for the whole duration of the operation and reference-counting the IO objects (file descriptors). But the behavior is pretty tricky. [1] describes the problem.

I wasn't predicting things in my response, just commenting on why something in the past didn't happen and couldn't have (though with a strong implication that this applies to the future). While this is "just a guess", I feel pretty much the entire history of humankind backs me up on this one. I don't see much reason to believe humans will suddenly get better at collective action than they were before - especially now that we've understood and enshrined as holy, in the form of profit-seeking mandate of the market economy, the mechanism of strip-mining any forms of spontaneous coordination and turning them into dollars.

I still hope we can get out of this one, but I don't see the solution coming from "the people". If anything, "the people" will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into that future, by governments mandating the right moves, by public and private R&D creating solutions which companies then use to enable the governments to make the right moves.

Ehh, I have enjoyed taking psychedelics alone many times, but I think it's probably clever to start with somebody more experienced who can keep their cool enough to remember where the towels are and help guide you to another area if something in the environment is overwhelming. Once you've been there a few times you can pretty much do this yourself, but without understanding how much set and setting affect the experience it can be difficult to remember that walking into the next room over can change everything. It's not about keeping you from jumping out of a window, it's about managing messes and mood.

Yes, indeed. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Bootstrap is the most popular UI framework in the world.

But not all the UI frameworks target nomatter new devices or old devices. It depends on the authors' choices.

SmallTalk has the correct answer here, with its method chaining operator `;`, I feel. For cases like this where you build complex state on an object via method calls, it gives some pretty nice code. And since it's a separate construct, the individual method calls can have return values that make sense too, as opposed to this style of interface where the methods all have to return the object again for chaining.

Running a complex, resource-hungry DAW that needs direct and fast access access to audio hardware and features a demanding plug-in ecosystem on an emulation layer isn't a good idea.
In Erlang that makes a lot of sense since most of your calls into other processes are done with a timeout of (by default) 5s, so breaking for longer time puts the system in a very non-standard state, which doesn't help in finding errors :)
Can you give me some examples?

Would it count if I had walked around the halls of the Pentagon, looking for good stuff that people had left out in the hallway (and therefore presumably excess and no longer wanted on their part), and then moved it to my office?

Or the time that the Team Chief of the Logistics Readiness Center in the National Military Command Center had locked himself out of his own office and didn’t remember the combination, and was supposed to be briefing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in five minutes? All I did was brute-force the combination, but I was able to do it quickly and he wasn’t too late to his briefing.

Examples of the kind of thing you would be looking for would be very useful.
Both the name and the software IFC ("Internet Foundation Classes") were intended to be the Internet's answer to Microsoft's MFC ("Microsoft Foundation Classes").

I recall hearing that they also considered calling it NFC ("Netscape Foundation Classes"), but they settled on IFC because they wanted it sound more inclusive and Internetty.

Other than raising that one middle finger to Microsoft, I can understand why name is confusing: the "Internet Foundation" sounds like a non-profit educational foundation that teaches classes in computer networking.

I know somebody who was admitted into the UK on an educational teaching visa, ostensibly to teach classes, when he was actually developing commercial software, not teaching students. Technically he WAS actually teaching classes -- just to computers.

Global climate change is the main focus of most people in retards to the environment these days but that's only one small facet of how we are killing the ecosystem.

The faith that most people have that the ecosystem can sustainably support countless billions despite all of the evidence is incredibly myopic, very disturbing and borders on religious.
Recent Azure Outage – Report
How many rings should I create on a server with 100GB RAM, 64 cores, that handles 100k connections?

Even if there's a definite answer to that, I still don't understand why threads are necessary? While CPU waits for completed IO, it doesn't poll anything. The CPU fires a DMA request at hardware, and forgets about it until it gets the response.
I, too, have no idea what a supplier pattern is. Don't think that's a very mainstream notion.

Buckeye: Espionage Outfit Used Equation Group Tools Prior to Shadow Brokers Leak
As part of planned maintenance activity, Microsoft engineers executed a configuration change to update one of the name servers for DNS zones used to reach several Microsoft services, including Azure Storage and Azure SQL Database. A failure in the change process resulted in one of the four name servers' records for these zones to point to a DNS server having blank zone data and returning negative responses. The result was that approximately 25% of the queries for domains used by these services (such as database.windows.net) produced incorrect results, and reachability to these services was degraded. Consequently, multiple other Azure and Microsoft services that depend upon these core services were also impacted to varying degrees.
For my thesis, I tried a couple of different options, but in the end the only one that really made publication-grade output was gnuplot with the epslatex terminal. It's a bit fiddly to get it up and running, but hands down the best result I think.

EDIT: Spelling.
> I agree, they're going for the harder problem, but it's also the most scalable solution.

It's not really harder, just more expensive.

When major point-sources give off CO2, it's more concentrated. Once it gets into the atmosphere, the entropy goes up, and that entropy cost must be repaid to capture it again. Technical challenges aside, it's still another cost to be paid, making it more expensive.

I think people like the idea of open-air capture because it's just so easy to imagine. I'd guess that it's also easier to pitch to non-technical investors, largely because it sounds so elegant in its simplicity. I just don't see how it makes much technical or business sense, beyond that sex appeal -- which, to be fair, I can appreciate having its own uses.

Honestly, I'm skeptical that a robust analysis of the economics would yield a favorable conclusion. But the market isn't entirely rational, and I can imagine a strategy that sacrifices a measure of fiscal viability for sex appeal potentially profiting for it -- I'm guessing most when pitching to investors, but potentially when pitching to policy makers and the general public?

Which I think is what I find so interesting here. I mean, this doesn't look like a technically optimal strategy to me, but perhaps that isn't necessarily a bad thing?

This is, say that they optimize the plan in a fiscal sense -- would it still get funding from investors? Would people still want to buy into it as hard? Would the HackerNews thread still have so many positive comments?
