Firstly, the Cloudflare number includes network time, which isn't included in Google's number.

Secondly you can't compare the numbers unless you know the percentiles used.

Thirdly, you are presuming your function is always cold loaded - which is only for the free tier of pricing from what I could see.

Google (v4 pagespeed) says: "Server response time is the time it takes for a server to return the initial HTML, factoring out the network transport time. Because we only have so little time, this time should be kept at a minimum - ideally within 200 milliseconds, and preferably even less!"

Sorry, I was riffing and forgot some of the key details. It was that during the great depression, there was a crisis of overproduction at the same time as an economic crisis. Farmers began destroying food at the same time that people could not eat (because they could not access or afford the food). The government stepped in to manage the prices and actively destroyed ag output.

I find async/await easier to reason about than threads for anything more involved than the 1 request per thread web server use case. This is because you avoid bringing in the abstraction of threads (or green threads) and their communication with one another. You trade syntactical complexity (what color is your function, etc), for semantic complexity (threads, channels, thread safety, lock races).
This rhymes with when people say “it’s just politics.” What does that even mean?

Facebook/Twitter/Youtube's biggest content producers use it and depend on it, to hit their engagement metrics. Elevating threat perception or a fight response doesn't require censored content. Once you build such a machine that operates at population scale, what does it matter which content is censored?

Study raises questions about fluoride and children’s IQ
There is nothing specific and thus nothing measurable so it's handwavvy and subjective.

For example, take "This starts with compensating [our employees] fairly". What criteria will they use to determine if this if being achieved? Without any additional revenues/profit, the only option you have is to change the distribution of revenues/profit. You could reward investors less and employees more, but investors will defect to those investments that pay them more. You could pay individual contributors more and management less, but management will defect to employers willing to pay them more.

I just don't see how any of these goals are achievable since they are so subjective. Depending on who you ask, someone people will say American corporations are a long way from achieving these and some will say American corporations already do these things.
I don't understand how the answer to that question can be anything other than "fuck yes, if you want to", though.
The article works best if you read it as a tale of a company being dragged, completely unwillingly, into working the same way as the rest of the world does. It starts off with all these funky ideas, and slowly devolves into a bog-standard keyboard with a few extra keys stuck on.
> How many billionaires are homeless after their ventures implode?

Has this happened in recent memory, at all? Because when I was growing up and getting the pro-capitalist America view of things on the regular, I vividly recall that capitalism is all about your success individually, that you risk it all and if you lose, you lose.

Even Elizabeth Holmes, an entrepreneur* who's business not only failed, massively, not only caused a man's suicide, not only lost fortunes both public and private, all without ever producing a SINGLE FUNCTIONING OR USABLE PRODUCT, she left a rich woman if I'm not mistaken.

*I was gonna quote that word here but no, I'm not going to because the mythical status of these people in American society is a joke. Anybody can be an entrepreneur. There are no qualifications and no requirements and you cannot break someone's faith in the "mythical rich 1%" than having them work for one, directly for a year, and see how maladjusted, how emotionally vulnerable, and how utterly dependent they are on subordinates for even trivial tasks.

In fact - it isn't racism, according to the link you have provided.

"Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another."

Superiority is a key word here. The link actually ends up on the page for supremacism:

"Supremacism is an ideology which holds that a certain class of people is superior to others, and that they should dominate, control, and subjugate others, or are entitled to do so."
That’s the power of totalitarian!
Does anyone know example of math that is not beautiful? As far as i can tell everything that explains something more complex in terms of simpler rules is called beautiful, but that is all the math! So it's not very surprising that math in physics is beautiful too.
Async/await is also good for integration with other systems where starting new threads is not practical or you are calling non-threadsafe FFI functions. Tokio offers the CurrentThread runtime, which allows concurrency without creating any new threads.
> Paul Allen was known as a much better programmer than Bill Gates.

In his book, Idea Man, Paul Allen openly proclaims that Bill Gates was a superior programmer to him. Allen says that he was, however, better than Gates in other ways, including when it came to assembly or anything working very close to hardware (Allen's most important Microsoft product after the very early days, was for example the SoftCard).

Further, Allen illuminates in his book that Gates was in fact an extraordinary programmer. He notes that Gates had a particular gift for raw output, endurance and figuring out ways to make their code as efficient in size as it could possibly be.

This article lends further support:

"Could Bill Gates write code? Yes. And then some, Altair BASIC dis-assemblers reckon"

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/05/15/could_bill_gates_wr...

> Reuben Harris has been disassembling a binary with some help from Monte Davidoff, the third author of Altair BASIC (along with Gates and Paul Allen) and who we interviewed here last week. He has the same question in mind:

> "'Could Bill Gates Write Code?' Or was he merely the luckiest man alive," before concluding... "Yes He Bloody Could!"

> Although Reuben's analysis is not quite complete, he tells us that Gates, Allen and Davidoff threw every trick at the book to squeeze the interpreter into 4 kilobytes. They succeeded and left some headroom for the programs themselves - without which it would have been pretty useless, of course.

> "It was pretty incredible - they were pretty good at what they were doing," he tells us.

Obviously a pure function can allocate memory on the stack. I would think it could also allocate memory on the heap, iff it was guaranteed that the memory was freed before the function exits. Was thinking that would be something the compiler would do.

Outside of this scope, what is concerning me is that you can't hold a pro-china position. Look at the other comments here.

> I have some friends in China posting similar anti-protest posts on WeChat social media. It's like the news they read has a completely different story than what it's being told in legitimate new sources.

Holding a pro-china position apparently means you're reading fake news or part of a misinformation campaign.

The news we read is CORRECT, the news you read is WRONG.

We have the same problem here in the West. If you go against the church of progressivem you're a Russianbot.

I seem to recall reading an article on HN a few weeks ago about how banks are pulling out of the safety deposit business now that their new branches don't really need vaults for cash, and it's not clear that any replacement for those services is emerging with the same geographic reach as the retail banking system.
Because you know that what you see in NYT and NN voices mainly the opinion of their editor/journalists, while Twitter can give you the illusion that the opinions you see reaching consensus there, come from your peers.

Woz is an absolutely stunningly good hardware designer and programmer, but I agree with this article's characterization that Jobs, had Woz not been around, would have found another Woz. Maybe not as good, and maybe with less success, but Apple would have been built in some fashion.

The impression I got from Founders At Work was that Woz was a big big reason for Apple's short term success, but also didn't really understand Apple past a certain point. After all, a product like the iPhone, with its fused body and minimal hackability is utterly opposite to the values of an old school hardware hacker like Woz.
I'm definitely not a military analyst, but I haven't seen anything indicating that the Chinese are capable of employing the DF-26 as you describe. If anything, it is a deterrent against nuclear first strike which is how it's currently deployed.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/10/asia/china-missiles-south-chi...
'According to a report from the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, China may have an anti-ship version of the DF-26 under development -- and may have even tested it in 2017.
However military analyst Carl Schuster, a former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center, cast doubt on whether the DF-26 was workable as an anti-ship weapon. Using one effectively would require practicing procedures and tactics that China had not yet shown, he said.
"Remember, the Soviet Union never successfully developed an ASBM (anti-ship ballistic missile) and no country in the West has one," Schuster said.'

Do you have some information to the contrary?

Encarta is a great example of Microsoft winning a market, and after it was defeated, letting it fade out.

Encarta lasted from 1991-2009.

The iPod was introduced in 2001, saw sells start to fall off a cliff around 2009 and were all discontinued in 2017 - except for the iPod in name only iPod Touch. No one would say that the iPod was a failure. Encarta helped start the multimedia PC boom that helped make home computers more ubiquitous just like the iPod was Apple’s introduction to a wider audience.
Hello trumpetsailor! My former colleagues have been pointing me to multiple fun Encarta threads across social media.:-)
I have a long-term side project, SlickDNS (https://www.slickdns.com/) which is a DNS hosting service, and recently moved the URL monitoring feature from four self-managed $5/month Digital Ocean VMs to AWS Lambda. My monthly hosting bill for that particular feature has dropped from $20/month to $0.10.

Porting the Go monitoring code to Lambda was trivial. I spent much more time trying to automate the deployment to Lambda & API Gateway and in the end gave up and just deployed it manually via the AWS console.

I also recently moved the main web app from a self-managed Linode setup to Heroku. Deploying via "git push" and not having to worry about configuring or updating servers is a huge time saver. Heroku provides the best of both worlds since I can still login into an ephemeral shell if I want to interactively poke around my live Django environment.
It's always nice to see Woz' recognition within the tech community as compare to popular culture where everyone talks about Steve.
I remember the cool woosh sound the menus made in Encarta. I also loved the interface that seemed to make it stand out from other Windows applications. I opened up the dlls in Borland C++ to look at the artwork that made up Encarta!
It still has some interesting features though!

This is one main reason why the larger mathematical community does not closely follow these foundational discussions (there are foundations that are strict extensions of ZFC but these extensions are usually conservative).

The usual response is that it would be nice if the formal foundations of mathematics corresponded more closely to the informal intuitions of mathematicians, which is arguably not true of set theoretic foundations and perhaps is more true of category theory. Whether or not you agree about the correspondence or whether even if you agree you find it at all convincing is up to you.

Well, seems like the options you have are better for you. In the market I operate in credit cards fees are %2.5-3. Street change places are popular because they are the cheapest option. Using SEPA is expensive and is not instant (your bank will usually transmit the transaction about a day after you order it). And anyway, a day or two is far from instant.

I didn't understate the risk of BTC exchanges, I didn't discuss it at all. I also didn't and wouldn't claim that BTC is flawless or close to that. There are multiple downsides, risk and usability issues. I only reacted to your claim that it is only useful for illegal ends.

I once had a very stubborn intern who decided to add as much const as he could in our codebase.
What followed was a heated discussion and I did a global replace of const by nothing.

The main problem with const is that it's ugly, it's viral and it does not add any value to the code.

And I know all the supposedly good things about this, but I never found any real usage in practice.
Are we going to be arguing about reductionist philosophy?

No, they can't. If management took an action that is within their power to take it cannot be reversed at shareholder whim. They can certainly throw out the current management and install new management who will attempt to reverse what the old management did, but what is done is done.

I’m interested in why you asked 100s of developers if they’re interested in Lisp.

In my experience, which is evidently quite different to yours, excellent developers also want to increase their breadth, understand which tools are good for which jobs, and generally increase their knowledge about programming and software engineering. It’s usually the poorer engineers, experienced or not, that stick to just a few tools with no knowledge of others.
Those words only differ in emotional charge, not factual meaning.
