I think one key is that in the real world (where these things are plugins/actors) there is there is a distinction between functional and actual immutability. If you need to block a block or undo a change, write a PR to the relatively-frozen codebase of the relevant b-thread/actor, that makes its behavior conditional to a never-before-seen event, but default to old behavior - that way it is verifiably not going to introduce behavior changes on its own, but it makes itself amenable to new extension points.

One could even formalize this system: a piece of code can be replaced if its behavior under its current set of events is guaranteed not to change.

Also, weighted/ordered behavior is sometimes necessary due to race conditions: two identical threads respond to events in different ways, which one wins? When I have made systems with plugin-like architecture, I always establish a global “pecking order” of sources for consistency, but anything that relies on the pecking order is a massive code smell. (That’s a rule I wish I could tell my younger self to follow more often!)

Alphabet's revenues are already supporting those jobs, though. People don't go to Google to do useful work, they go because the owners are hoarders and like collecting engineers to keep them in a zoo and stop them from starting competitors.

Thus Google will hire Vint Cerf because they think he's cool, even though he's not going to contribute anything, but what forum moderator is cool enough for a PhD hoarder to keep around?

When you want the best for your body and face make sure it has minerals. It is not a chemist taking a rock, breaking it apart, crushing it, and adding it to beaker of ingredients. The minerals encompass many different chemical properties. It can be anything from sulfates to metal ores to acetates. Minerals can be chemical combinations of substances. Copper is one of the more common minerals. Did you know that copper diminishes the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles? Sometimes the chemicals compounds will seem foreign like acetate. In a simple form acetate is a salt of acetic acid. Hydrocarbons can actually be classified as a mineral chemical compound. Minerals are important. When combined with plants and vitamins the combination can be extremely beneficial.

IIUC, this architectural pattern can be seen in a lot of different places:

1. Actor Model (ref: Erlang) or Communicating Sequential Processes (ref: Golang) as someone already mentioned in the comments.

2. Distributed replicated logs (ref: Kafka) acting as shared vocabulary for multiple data sources and sinks

3. D-Bus (for IPC b/w Linux processes)

4. Or any event-based system (ref: Node.js)

So there's definitely two separate threads (no pun intended) of discussion here:

1. The BP idea

2. The implementation (a la B-threads)

The BP idea's benefits can be seen, to an extent, in all the different models described above. But they also suffer from the same problems as any BP implementation:

1. Double negation[1] (as someone already mentioned in the comments)

2. If a specification change touches multiple "events" (aka shared vocabulary), it'll need refactoring across code organization units (eg. actors in Actor Model, B-theads in BP, functions/callbacks in Event-based systems, etc.) - which brings us back to the original problem of the human mind having to think of disparate execution paths to bring about spec changes in software.

2.3% - at 60% annual growth would be ~100% in 8 years. Exponential growth is always unintuitive, but I'd expect many people in this community to understand it.

Next questions
What is the sustainable growth rate? Higher than 60%? Lower?

And are we going to, in 10 years, see more EVs sold (for much less each) than ICE vehicles are sold today?
The answer is we'd better, as we have to get those ICE vehicles off the road.
If your partner is aligned with that then ok; otherwise good luck!

> Honest question : Can you expand on how this would work please?

Such a thing is already possible today. Some require root, some require breaking PlayStore's terms of use.

One such example is: XPrivacyLua [0] by the creator of NetGuard. It helps fake location data, hide contacts and calendar, fake device-id, IMEI, MAC addresses etc on a per-app basis.

Another example is how VPN in Android [1][2] is widely used to block trackers and ads.

A third example would be how the accessibility service APIs are (ab)used to temporary grant permissions to apps [3].

A fourth would be reversing engineering tools like Frida [4] that help with inspecting apps, and even change their behaviour.

A fifth is repackaging APKs with advertisement and tracking code removed, like with YouTube [5].

I am attempting to build an app with most of these features combined in to one, lets see how far I get. My aim is probably to build something as close as possible to uMatrix/uBlockOrigin but without requiring root.

Reputation of company and products There are large numbers of skin care product that are being manufactured by companies that are situated all over world. It becomes very important to opt for the company that has very good reputation and also success in providing results of skin care product. You might look into the forum and search in Internet for selecting the best skin care cream or lotion that will be of best use for your skin conditions. Interacting with real people with problems which are similar to you will be providing a great amount of knowledge and will surely boost the morale and also the confidence of the person in bigger terms.

>Is it really common for software engineers to work under these conditions?

It wasn't like this before fads like XP, Agile, Scrum etc. and micro-management became mainstream. Most of the current management done by PMs and their ilk can be easily categorized under "Bullshit Jobs" (https://strikemag.org/bullshit-jobs). The problem is that once somebody has codified their experience under a catchy title and started marketing it, people blindly follow it without understanding its context and applicability. Given that the barrier to entry to these sort of positions are so low (you can become a PM without any sort of domain knowledge!) people who might not cut it as Engineers seek these jobs to boost their pay, power and egos.

PS: The above might come across as a little harsh but unfortunately is the reality for most Engineers.
They are. Tesla is debt leveraged to hell which is why they're saying they're going to raise another $2B in cash from equity and bond sales to pay some of it off.

In the U.S. it varies widely by state. The USGS has a map of "recent" groundwater levels:

https://groundwaterwatch.usgs.gov/default.asp

With some obvious large gaps. There are more collected by state agencies, consultants, etc. In most places there are probably more wells than you'd think.

In addition to measuring gravity from space to monitor groundwater it can be measured at the land surface, with better spatial resolution and worse accuracy. A 1x10-8 m/s^2 change in gravity is 2.4 cm of groundwater!

A small step but a good one towards price transparency. What industry apart from healthcare do you know where you first get service and then find out the price of it. lol

The sad part about all this is that the level of healthcare pricing transparency we all need/want must come down from the top. Are there any startups looking at this problem?

Having recently been enlightened as to the incompetence of record labels when it comes to handling revenue splits in the simple model (e.g. they can't even get them right for Tier 1 artists with a simple split between authors), I'd not hold out much hope they'd be able to cope with a more complex model like this.

Yes, I understand economies of scale, but there is a point where the time and resources spent driving take-out around is not profitable.

Shout out for simplesamlphp, which confusingly comes as two projects: simplesamlephp/simplesamlphp (a full web application which can implement SP or IdP), and simplesamlephp/saml2, a library of components for parsing and building SAML messages. I just used the library, which meant building a lot of the logic around what to actually do with the messages, but once you've learned the protocol inside out, it's easy to use ( as ever, the code IS the documentation!) but has a few limitations - because it was built to support a specific application. One very handy feature (relating to others' commenting about SPs that can't parse metadata) is the metadata parsing.
Mankind can not handle the responsabilities that come with nuclear technologies. Aging and literally crumbeling reactors are kept running on extended permits granted by cabinets where the revolving door with the energy industry is well oiled. Fukushima thaught the cynical lesson that a nuclear operator can profit even more from the post-accident cleanup than from simply running the facility. Meanwhile the nuclear lobby thankfuly jumped onto the passing 'CO2 posterchild' train for a free greenwash. But hey, it is so more trendy, edgy and suave to be pro-nuke these days than to be a tired old hippie pointing out that nuclear is no free lunch.

Does Lambda School directly exchange it for money ?
Interesting; I could never stomach actuarial textbooks well enough to gain much more than a high-level view of this industry. So higher-price policies are higher profit? I had always assumed the higher prices reflected the higher risk to the insurer, and even in a competitive market I would assume that the profit margin per policy would be roughly comparable between different types of policies.
Oh yes, now I’ve read the Wikipedia articles, it seems Ligers and Tigons tend toward weak offspring prone to cancer.
This defense of "free" platforms is reminiscent to feudalism. In feudalism you of course did not pay rent. You simply took care of the land and in exchange your lord would provide you a small share of the produced food, a place to live, protection from attacks, and a [heavily biased] conflict resolution system. All for "free." But of course it wasn't free. The lords were utilizing the labors of the peasant to generate mass surpluses which were in turn used to greatly empower themselves.

In today's times human attention is arguably the most valuable 'commodity' there is. And YouTube is using their peasants to produce it in unprecedented quantities. In exchange they return a small share of the returns produced, a free place to host, protection from attacks, and a [heavily biased] conflict resolution system.

It's of course technically correct that it's free, but the connotation is entirely wrong. Few would idealize for the "free housing" of feudalism, and I think in the future we'll have few that would idealize the "free hosting" of today. In the present? People are simply greatly undervaluing their own worth, much as the peasants did. It took the black death emphasizing their relevance for them to finally understand they were the ones running the show all along.

Interesting note that she comments that they skipped 3 for the fan values. Seemingly an oversight for the fact that these fan values of 1,2,4 indicate that it is probably a bitfield with each bit indicating a fan speed.
There was no builtin in MMU in early chips (68000-68020). An external MMU for the 68000/68010 did exist - a weird thing called a 68451 that mapped arbitrary power of two aligned physical blocks of memory to arbitrary power of two aligned virtual addresses (harder to use and particularly hard to allocate memory for) - it was VERY slow (7 clocks from memory) and was rumored to have been designed by a summer intern at Moto.

You do need to restart instructions if you want your stack to extend automatically, there's a hack you can do to make this happen on a 68000

You could do a paging system on a 68010/68451 - you had to treat the 68451 as a software refilled TLB

Sun built their own MMU using SRAM, at the time there was a guy going around the Valley designing "sun-style" MMUs, for IP reasons every one was different, some were broken (one I ported to couldn't protect the kernel from user mode).

Someone (maybe Sun?) managed to get 68000s to do paging by having two of them and freezing the primary on a page fault and having the second one load the page somehow.

68020s had external MMUs, Moto made the PMMU which most people used Phillips tried to make one (it never really worked), Apple had a weird pseudo MMU that fit in a PMMU socket on the mac 2 - it emulated the 24-bit addressing on the 68000 (Apple had stupidly used the upper bits in their pointers)

Finally: I think that the 68000 not being able to restart a page fault was probably a mistake, something they hadn't thought all the way through

Respectfully disagree with your assertion that no one here wants to get out of tipping people "not making it." The "I don't tip" sentiment is just a prevalent here as I have heard from drivers themselves that many people will purposely choose not to tip for going the extra mile. Most people here, just as in the real world are completely ignorant how the system actually works, how much the delivery person really takes home, and who is getting the short end of the stick between the worker, the restaurant, the customer, and any app service.

You prefer to refer to moral obligations, I prefer to call it like it is. Don't act like an ass and expect discounted food delivered at some poor person's expense but your own. Also if you are a bad delivery driver (some exist, yes) don't expect a tip if you fuck up badly or really sucked... don't hit my car or my garage door (both have happened).

Put yourself in someone else's shoes and obey the golden rule. No need to debate right and wrong, shoulds, oughts, and obligations, morals, duties, ethics, values, and philosophy. Just don't be lazily uninformed, have some empathy and conscientiousness, and treat other people the way you would want to be treated.
Exactly, your service could definitely be used as an alternate to parsing robots.txt (which traditionally is in xml) to a more standard json parsing. Along with the advantages that comes with making it REST.

Reputation in email is complex. many people dislike @yahoo email addresses, Iranians use them frequently because for their country and language community it was one of the first foreign emails they got. I use @pobox.com because I started over 20 years ago. If I had been one week sooner I would have g@pobox.com and I know a single-letter mailbox holder at pobox.com. Pobox has a very poor reputation in email because of a spam problem, despite being owned by Fastmail which is a high reputation email endpoint.

I know people who use @ieee.com and people who use @acm and people who use @<university>-alumni.com and .. the list is endless.

What are you trying to project, using the @domain is the question.

As well as @pobox I have my own domain. It is not my name but I have it, and I send from it and receive to it.

If you host a domain at google (I do, I have a grandfathered domain) you get postini quality of spam filter and SPF/DKIM outgoing (I believe) so are far less likely to be abused. Hosting your own domain mail means either paying somebody or understanding how to manage email services to avoid being abused.

Using somebody else's domain is more normal but now you carry the reputational risk of their domain.

Using @work email to send @personal traffic risks the work reputation, against things said by you @personal context. How do you feel about that, in your @personal-domain sense?

"Regulatory capture" hits that sweet spot of being easy to grasp, somewhat smart, and sufficiently cynical.

But while it is definitely a valid concern, and probably applicable to energy markets, it is unlikely to be the single reason for any and every problem with energy markets and production.

Using it as a highbrow euphemism for "corruption" probably causes more harm than it is useful: it gives license to ignore actual technical problems and the painstaking search for solutions, opting instead for an all-encompassing, nihilistic, and cynical narrative where nothing really can be done, except trying to tear down ever more existing institutions.

I also don't quite understand how storage systems are supposed to bypass problems arising from "regulatory capture". If incumbents get to write the rules in their favour, they could just as easily keep newcomers using storage out of the market as those without.
Yes, but Tesla is actually doing equally good or better than the incumbents. And this is on top of a car company. It is hard to overstate what Tesla has achieved. There is a reason why Tesla has crazy fans.

Sounds like your argument boils down to "check the source carefully", not "local modules are evil".

If the source was checked carefully, you'd notice a checked-in node_modules dir.

If you didn't check the source properly, you could install a module that seems like it'ss using a known package, but really is using its own malicious version of the global package.
I agree completely. Github is primarily a social network site. Code on Github is what tweets are on Twitter, or images on Instagram. Grist for the social media attention mill! And just like every other social media site, it's being gamed by the egotists and the self-promoters and the marketers and the fakers.

The problem seems to be that on Twitch those pages are at the center and are how the users find content, while on youtube you have to dig for them and people find content via Youtube's algorithm so most are not even aware that they exist.
