I made something similar a couple years ago: https://github.com/smith-kyle/electron-process

But I love the addition of defaulting to a node server for lower memory usage.

The Atom editor (the first Electron app) has slowly been rewriting a lot of their modules in C++ for speed and lower memory usage, binding to them through NodeJs. Kind of ironic since GitHub created Electron to build desktop apps using web technologies.
Sergey Brin was born in Moscow, so yeah, that counts as Russian influence. He supported the candidate whose husband got paid in Russia, supposedly for a speech. This is Google.

Aside from that, Russians spending $100,000 in a presidential race that cost $2,000,000,000 is just 1-part-per-20000. It's less than Bill got for his speech. It's just 0.005% of the total. That could be the personal project of a sufficiently dedicated non-wealthy individual. It's lost in the noise.

Many people in the US live close to sustainable lives. they live without air conditioning, take transit everywhere, they eat chicken and not beef, they've never flown in an airplane. They're poor.

And then a small percentage of the US population lives insane lives. Gigantic houses with the windows open and the air conditioning on max for the garden party. Fly to Paris 14 times a year. Yacht idling in the harbor.

The carbon-production standards of most people, even in the US, don't need to change much.
Lasers. I think their technique is top-secret, because I don't see lights-through-metal on many other products.

Dentistry is also like this. Lots of people have some dental insurance, but it doesn't cover enough of the really costly procedures to make most patients ignore costs.
If I remember correctly, there were even some 286 motherboards with SRAM cache onboard, as well as on 386 boards. That would be L1 cache on those. For a 486 board, this would be L2 cache since the CPU has its own internal L1.

These SRAM chips were dual-inline pin packages (DIP), i.e. those black rectangular chips with fat pins down both long edges. Sometimes these were in friction-fit sockets and sometimes soldered down. On the 286, I think the DRAM was also socketed DIP.
'No IoCs or victim accounts': Researcher questions coverage of APT10 report
Bitcoin (BTC) is Bitcoin. Saying it's "altered" is like saying that Hacker News is "altered" because its code has evolved over the years. Saying BSV is the "restored" Bitcoin protocol is like saying retrohackernews.com is the "restored" Hacker News because it runs on an old fork of Hacker News. That doesn't make it Hacker News.

I'm not saying that Bitcoin has become good or bad; I'm saying it's Bitcoin. BSV folks spend a lot of time and bytes trying to convince others that they're the real deal, and that Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto. It doesn't matter. If BSV is superior to Bitcoin, it should prevail through its own merit, not through language gymnastics in online forums.

Just getting approvals for plans for just about anything takes years in a country like Germany. In most places in Germany even hinting at building a nuclear plant is political suicide. Merkel shutting down nuclear plants remains one of her more popular acts here with many despite the many raised eyebrows in regards to the cost of that. This came after decades of protests whenever nuclear material was transported around Germany.

Absolutely nobody here actually wants a nuclear plant in their backyard. And yes I agree this is irrational but it remains a reality that is also preventing the construction of nuclear elsewhere in the world. It pretty much requires an autocratic regime to be able to get away with this. For reference, even building new highways is controversial in Germany and takes many years of planning, approvals, and bureaucracy. Also finishing the new airport in Berlin is now taking almost a decade past it's original scheduled opening time and is rumored to face yet more delays. The decision process to build a single nuclear plant alone would likely take decades.

Then actually designing and building these things takes time. A lot of the expertise related to this is simply gone or will be by the time plans for this get any political support whatsoever. Rebooting 50 year old reactors is not going to be a popular decision; and besides most of that stuff will be gone by the time that decision gets taken. Buying legacy designs from the Russians would be an act of desperation. At this point the Chinese are the only ones left building and deploying modern nuclear plants.

It's much easier and cheaper to just put up more wind and solar. This is at this point not controversial (actually the opposite) and unlike a nuclear plant you can just plan and deploy these things without any political backlash with a minimum of hassle. Even cost is actually much less of an issue as wind and solar are getting quite competitive these days and people put solar on their own roofs to save money. Doubling the current capacity seems a lot more feasible and would get them most of what they need. And why stop there. Economies of scale are awesome. The more they do this, the cheaper it gets.
FWIW (OP here), I've been playing guitar for years (not great, but fun enough:), have no knowledge of piano, and can have tons of fun with it just mixing up the basic chord progressions and playing around.
I mean, compared to the guitar - the notes are in order! One after another, in a neat sequence! What a concept! :-) :-) :-)

So I think we're in agreement - I feel (rightly or wrongly) that I could take two years of classical piano lessons, and get no closer to what I want to do with a synth than I am today :-/. Whereas I feel just from playing the guitar, I can already do, say, 10-15% of what I want to do with a synth, and want to explore further in _that_ direction...
Thank you for providing better examples. I'm not a computer scientist but a physicist.

Maybe they don't regret their degrees but their jobs. The current job market totally disregards the passions and aspirations of our generation. Maybe we should treat enrolment per degree as a sort of voting system and allocate financial resources accordingly. After all students are drown from the society, so their aspirations are society's aspirations. Unfortunately capital allocation decisions are made by managers who are rather detached from real communities.
Altering videos feels very much like a key component of a site like YouTube, but also one that could easily be used to manipulate viewership.

I feel like the only way to do it is to use a human moderated whitelist of top producers, and clearly mark them as edited.
Unfortunately regulation does seem to be mostly written in stone. Sure, things can drastically change in events like revolutions but I'm not holding my breath for that (nor do I think that kind of instability is something good to have, it's essentially a huge regression with the opportunity to "redo" things, but as humans we ALWAYS do the same mistakes again sooner or later). How many laws are we re-evaluating every few years and updating/changing them as necessary?

I think if we had almost all laws passed with expiration time it would hopefully result in better/more up to date legislation although the only "temporary" legislation I remember (Patriot Act?) was just passed every time it expired...
I honestly think there's an opportunity to create a YouTube channel that literally does nothing more than explain how X makes money, whether it's a VC firm, a Subway franchise, a toothpaste manufacturer, etc.

The IRS only enforces tax collection on the wealthiest individuals because it isn't efficient to do otherwise, that's why you see most of the tax revenue coming from the wealthy. They only go after the big fish.

You're wrong if you think that taxing individuals is going to decrease poverty or wealth inequality. Wealth inequality is not due to wealth individuals holding assets, but due to pay inequality. Corporations hold their profits instead of paying their workers fairly. It would be much more effective to impose a wealth tax on corporations to incentivize them to pay their workers.

Large multi-national monopolies are the problem, not rich people. If you can't see that, the corporations have effectively used your own morals against you. The uber rich won't be affected, only the new rich, people rising from the middle class.
> The BEAM is finely tuned for a specific problem and it solves it beautifully...

Not disagreeing with you per se but that was true 10 or 20 years ago. Nowadays the BEAM is very solid general-purpose runtime with the best parallelism on the planet attached.

> Knowing that, it's perhaps more pertinent to talk about what you can actually bring to that VM. Alpaca [0] could potentially be the solution.

Realistically, I'd say that ship has sailed. Elixir has a lot of inertia for that to happen at this point. People focus really hard on improvements over Dialyzer (like Dialyxir + improving warning messages), linting, standard formatting, higher-level code generators and what-have-you.

At this point I'd think an OCaml-to-Elixir transpiler that enforces the compile-time guarantees of OCaml and translates them to Elixir code is the much likelier road to strong static typing on the BEAM. I might be wrong though, it's just a speculation.

> Some people get mad about the financial industry for taking advantage of customers. I find it hard to get mad about a deal between willing counterparties, but if you think that Wall Street is soaking the US middle class, you should be monomanically focused on the interest spread between cash balances in brokerage accounts and high-interest bank accounts or money market funds. That is the cost that does not call itself a cost.

I'm grateful for this insight provided by the article. As someone interested in the takes on inequality presented by thinkers like Piketty, Stiglitz and McChesney, I think it's important to consider the fact that ultimately, the public good will remain hamstrung by the fact that those with the greatest know-how to create returns on investment are also those with the greatest profit-driven motivations. The middle class gets to choose between getting fleeced by brokerage fees, getting fleeced by the low rates of return offered by the banks, or getting fleeced by your own ignorance and lack of access to the infrastructure to generate market returns in the adversarial world of modern finance.

UBI and higher taxes I don't think can solve this problem, because as more and more of the market's growth is captured (extracted?) by the monoliths of private sector, who in a globalized world are not beholden to any one nation (just look at the effect of Brexit on Britain's financial sector), individual governments no longer really have the jurisdiction and leverage to capture enough of the market's return.

In the past I have been quick to blame stuff like the repeal of Glass-Steagall and other bipartisan deregulation efforts, as well as the dangerous assumptions of competence behind stuff like Black-Scholes and the Harry Markowitz approach, but ultimately I can't see any way around the fact that the profit motive just seems to be the greatest available driver of financial competence. What can even be done beyond impotently hoping for Gates Foundation-style philanthropy? Maybe the Chinese are actually ahead of the game with their State capitalism approach, and moving forward we should just all turn our governments into fintech companies with a side hustle of providing public infrastructure and services to the citizenry...
The problem isn't the young age of these decisions, the problem is that childhood now lasts until your mid 20s, as opposed to ending in your late teens.

When you have visibly aging people in their 30s saying stuff like "adulting is so hard gaiz!!", the problem is the culture.

Good points. The aspect I'm most worried about is that we'll see a trend towards an increasing amount of code running in enclaves and then becoming a hard requirement for common software to function.
My MS has certainly proven to be much more of a waste of resources than I ever expected it might be.
Perhaps this shouldn't be surprising, but what this site makes clear to me is that GDPR enforcement is more lax on major companies than many people expected, and more severe on private individuals.

For all the breathless reporting of how GDPR would ruin companies financially by levying fines on worldwide revenue, there is exactly one fine listed that exceeds 400k EUR. Granted, it's 50MM EUR to Google, but that's still a drop in the bucket compared to Google's worldwide revenue.

On the other hand, commenters below have pointed out that some private individuals have received fines in the hundreds to thousands of EUR for actions such as "using Cc instead of Bcc in emails" and "using a dashcam". I agree that these are privacy lapses but it's pretty unfortunate to see the power of the state used for these purposes rather than bringing serial data privacy abusers in line.

This is truly shocking to me. I'd have thought that most people value the experience of college so immensely that it was worth the cost. I'll be paying student debt for the rest of my life, but in retrospect I'd have happily paid double for the experiences and perspectives I gained.
If you want to measure economic potential vs cost, what you propose is reasonable. If you want to measure regret, it's not. Regret could have more causes than cost vs payback. (It's interesting, though, that loans were the primary regret, and choice of major was also high.)
They are taking our jobs
Agreed. I'd prefer to leave those kinds of comments on reddit.
I expect there would have been a warning given in that case before assessing a fine. Many of the less serious ones I read explicitly mentioned warnings that were ignored.
I have been a donating member of the now defunct everydns.net, acquired by DYN in the 2010, sadly then acquired by Oracle in 2016 for some strange reasons, probably because DB experts are always fascinated by DNS experts.
Somehow I am then a VIP user of dyn/Oracle, and I have received two emails.
One is the aforementioned, containing inflated marketing words for 'Action required please migrate to the best cloud (i.e. Oracle)', the other is 'don't worry, for you VIPs, DYN will remain a separate business unit. No action is required on your part at this time'. AT THIS TIME.

I think I will install for my personal domains a good chrooted bind (or powerdns) on a couple of public facing linux servers. AT THIS TIME sounds too intimidating to me.
I’m a visible transgender woman and meaning I don’t pass as a woman aesthetically. I’ve spent several years fighting the healthcare system & insurance provider but no prevail. I can see a transgender woman in Toronto managed to get funding in a few days using GoFundMe. She looks gorgeous in her picture and I’m surprised she doesn’t pass. I’m not sure how I feel about it, somewhat happy for her and frustrated personally. Seems like everything is painfully pointless when it comes to decency in society. Everything is a battle to keep the poor close to suicide it feels like.

I have two Civil Engineering degrees (BS and MS) and have been working in the field for some time now and I think the opposite, CE should be a minimum 5 year program. The people I see as fresh undergraduates do not know enough to do the job but those with master's degrees do. I guess it is forcing those that do the hiring to select for those who have more schooling.
I don't know that people really have the foresight to value their privacy. I mean, when Apps switched to a granular permissions model where you had to explicitly agree to each permission you would grant it, did that really deter a bunch of users from the app? I'm not sure it did.

In my opinion, this shouldn't be about allowing users to.make better informed decisions. As a user, I don't want the burden to analyze, reason, evaluate and determine the right choices to protect myself everytime I engage with an app or website. I'd like a bill where the government or some other agency made that choice already and had good privacy choices enforced. At least as a default or a strong recommendation.

This is one scenario where I'd like to outsource the decision making, because I just don't have the time.

> If I were an insurance company, I'd consider buying a small pharma outfit and target it at these orphan drugs just to save money.

I've looked into it but the regulations get in the way. It's a crock of bologna - if you hire an American Chemist and set up an American chemical plant, you have to build the facility and wait for FDA inspection before you can start manufacturing and in some cases, you have to pay for a trial to prove that your medication works. Or you can just import the drug from China and India and the FDA will let you act like a compounding pharmacy and repackage the Chinese / Indian active ingredients.

Then you have to pay the licensing fees which are borne equally by all manufacturers. If you make 100 doses/yr, you pay as much as your competitor who makes 1 billion doses/yr.

There's a reason the market for easily-produced medication hasn't been disrupted yet, if you make affordable high quality medications in a way that doesn't defer to the FDA's stupid system, you can and will go to prison.
On public streets, yeah, that's kind of insane. It's pretty common for people to have a dashcam running with a buffer so if you're involved in a not at fault accident or someone vandalizes your car, or such things, you have documentation.

I personally find it a bit misleading to classify this as being "self-hosted", seeing as how it's effectively the same as every other dynamic DNS service.

One hand on the keys and one hand on the knobs is a very specific way of "playing" a synthesizer. A lot of people don't really play the instrument live in this way.

I, personally, don't use keyboards to drive synths at all (even when the entire piece is written for synthesizer). I tend to work entirely in the box with step sequencers, and record directly into my DAW, where I go about rearranging things and mixing. So there's really no "playing" involved, and I've found it a lot more profitable to study composition and orchestration.

Why should authenticity matter?
a dark pattern is not simply something you don't like. javascript is a useful tool, not a dark pattern. it can be used to implement dark patterns, but words actually have meanings and the way you use it is not what "dark pattern" means.

"javascript is a dark pattern" is as much a meaningless statement as "emacs is a dark pattern" or "you're a dark pattern"
I wonder where the line is drawn when it comes to things like that.

Yesterday I was walking on the side of the road and some girl was half way hanging out of the passenger window recording a video of the scenery. I was able to see her from a few hundred feet away.

Eventually the car intersected with me and I was in the line of sight of the video for a second or 2. Of course I made a stupid pose to photo bomb her video which I found hilarious while continuing my walk home.

But under GDPR, is she technically in violation for recording me without my consent? I can't imagine how any of that could really be enforced. What about all of those Youtubers who happen to record people in a busy place like NYC or Vegas. Do they really get written consent from 400-500 people in the background for 10 seconds of video?
I never had that problem until I read an article about that being a problem people had. And then I spent several years being very weirded out by evenly spaced holes in things. And then I got mostly over it. And now your comment has my skin tingling again at the thought....

Radio shack was able to expand - profitable - much larger than their hobbies base could support on cell phone sales.
