They don't.

> It isn't clear to me why social disapprobation and pressure on the whole to excise reactionaries is inappropriate in this context.

I consider the moral-fascism of modern illiberal progressive rhetoric to be rather abhorrent. Are you fine with being socially outcast?

ASMR videos trigger a pretty strong opposite reaction in me. I cannot stand those soothingly-whispering videos; it's like nails on a chalkboard for me.
>Alternatively you could argue that no one knows the material better given that they were there at ground zero and the ones who actually made the decisions.

This isn't an alternative. This can be true, and they still have no reason to present an unbiased view in this course.

You should definitely be jaded enough to question the truth of someone spending billions in public money.

The lowest price it gives me, on the basic plan, works out to be $96/year on a "special" price ($2/week special billed at $8/month) with a suggestion that it'd be $180 normally outside of the special.
Importantly, the housing prices that are falling are those for units at the top end of the market, i.e., above $3 million in price. A lot of those expensive condos (25% per the article) remain unsold because they're expensive, the foreign buyers who used to buy most of them can't get their money out of their home countries, and now buyers need to pay an additional tax on top of their condo purchase.

Three's still a lot of demand at the bottom end--if you can find any units in that range for sale.
As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the behavior has nothing to do with knowing a border but rather something important to vultures: lack of carrion on the other side because people on the other side observe different laws pertaining to animal disposal.
The weird part of this sentence is that "...will be the first to..." has an implied "arrive at" or "develop" after it -- so it could be read as "Helion Energy is breaking the fusion barrier and will be the first to develop* clean, safe, and low-cost commercial electricity."

Yeah, but that raises the question as to what's the upside for Microsoft for building the Duo? Why divert expensive engineering resources to become just another niche Android phone vendor and help shovel money into Google's pockets on top of that?
It doesn't invalidate your point, but quantity of oil used was never the problem with plastic packaging - plastic is a minuscule part of oil demand, and doesn't get burned at that. The problem is and always has been the plastic entering the environment, where it doesn't biodegrade and causes all kinds of problems. That's why eliminating the very light plastic grocery bags is a win, even if the replacement bags are just heavier ones you have to pay for, and even if total plastic consumption increases - the heavy bags are less likely to blow away into the environment. It's also the reasoning behind cutting down on plastic straws - it's not that plastic straws represent a large quantity of plastic, they just represent a disproportionately large percentage of harm caused by plastic pollution.
the future has always been here and it's always been unevenly distributed.
How about "Governments are bad and Facebook is bad, let's find a solution that doesn't involve giving power to both". Facebook is not your fellow citizen.
First off:

1. if you are claiming to compare PostgreSQL to Redis, do NOT test with django or SQLAlchemy or whatever, use the raw DBAPI driver, most likely psycopg2, but you might get much faster results with a more optimized driver like asyncpg.

2. Use the Python profiler to generate profiles and to actually see how much time is spent waiting on the network to get the value.
No food for vultures in Portugal, so they stay in Spain.

Amazing. \s
The current search engine has very limited context (your profile and the sites you visited and the searches you have done).

What if the next incremental improvement is asking you questions about the search to get better context before actually doing the search and giving you a smaller set of usable results?

Just dreaming :)
You can still have offline accounts, but they do make it a real pain to figure out how to do it during Windows setup. I have to take PCs offline entirely to get the option now. While Microsoft is doing a lot of be more developer friendly (e.g., I love VS Code), Windows just gets more and more user hostile.
There is one disk operation that is guaranteed to happen when pushing data into a database like PostgreSQL. It will write data to an append-only binary log.

In Postgres this is called “write-ahead-log” or WAL. On MySQL/MariaDB it is called Binlog.

For a long time the only persistence redis even had was an append only binary log-style system.

Additionally you could tune redis to a maximum persistence threshold which emulated the absolute minimum persistence threshold of a system like Postgres or MySQL.

There is no comparison between these systems. One is designed to treat your data very safely by default and the other is designed for speed.

They both achieve those goals.

I don’t even want to go into the fact that vfs access isn’t still slower than direct memory access (for, I hope, many obvious reasons).

The topic of this thread is the equivalent of judging a fish by its ability to climb a tree.
It's Fox News. They probably received a mandate from Murdoch to cast it as a recession-warning to match what Trump has been saying.

> People should learn to be more humble and reject the desire for authority.

Authoritarianism is a horrible force in the world. But it does not mean that ego does not exist, even in fighting against authority. Ego tells you to fight.

One needs an ego to know that authoritarians should be pushed back, walls should be torn down not constructed.

Awareness of ego is the first step in rejecting authority telling you what to do. Authoritarians have their ego tightly coupled to self, and don't realize it is an abstraction of self.

Authority should always be questioned and never trusted because the world operates on self-interest, that is the nature of the game.
Those are not the only 2 cases.

1) supplementary way to access functionality

and

2) only way to access functionality

there's a 3rd option, which is the case here, for which is acceptable:

3) supplementary way to access _secondary_ functionality

Major functionality is still accessed by touch, menus, etc.

But even for primary functionality, I'd take fast, convenient, powerful over discoverability, any day of the week. The idea that users should not do any learning, and we should constrain our UI to stuff that's readily and immediately discoverable is incredibly limiting...

its a very Microsoft thing to do to name a Microsoft product built on (aka extending) a Google product after a different unrelated Google Product.

If my friend has a Microsoft Surface Duo and I say "open your Duo" do I mean to unfold the phone, or open the google video calling app?
When was that ever true? Businesses have always improved something that exists. They don't really exist to create "new inventions".

Sometimes they start that way, but those are the exception, not the rule. For example, Xerox (xerography) and Google.

Apple did a lot of inventing, but they also clearly stood on the shoulders of Xerox PARC, which did a lot more inventing.

Every other company I can think of is not based on "inventions", but more "bringing to market". Netscape was a great tech company, but they didn't invent the web, etc.
Google is also looking at AMD for it servers. As AMD is beating Intel with the current generation so badly in all cost metrics that using Intel is wasting money.
I see a lot of value with this phone prototype over the laptop version.

It gives a better typing experience than a phone currently does & offers unique controls for apps on the 2nd screen.

Whereas with the laptop version I assume people will be missing their keyboard typing experience or complaining about having to carry around a bluetooth keyboard. I still hope they improve their concept of docking an Android phone & using it as a laptop replacement with a keyboard, mouse & monitor.

Hopefully it makes people watch videos in landscape again & quit recording in portrait mode. That alone would be a win!

- Edit - I just read a better article explaining their keyboard concept for the laptop version. That seems like a slightly better experience than I was imagining. Hopefully it's harder to lose than their pen.
> Because as an ad business it can neither match Google at targeting audience by exact user intent, nor Facebook at targeting audience by exact user profile.

User profiles are primarily useful to build up a picture of user intent.

User interests, which Reddit possesses, are another way to do that.

It's not obvious to me the disparity in valuation should be so great.
I guess Microsoft just wants to give developers enough time to adapt their applications to this new platform.
Redis can persist and replicate just fine.

Aside from lack of ACID you better hope your dataset never gets too large to fit in memory, tho.
A call to free could write a gravestone into the freed memory, each free call could check for it and only check the free list if it sees that value. This would make a check of the free list rare, especially if malloc overrides the value again.

Exactly - poll `/status.json?at=${Date.now() - Date.now() % 5000}` and let the CDN worry about infinitely distributing state.

I wonder if this will take off. People are Very entrenched in traditional laptop world, so this seems essentially useless for corporate settings.
Perhaps, but if the criteria for "homophobic attacks" expands to include views that the majority of conservatives hold, then banning "homophobic attacks" just becomes a rebranded way of banning conservatives.

Looks like Ably has their own page on long-polling and why sometimes you can't use that or web-sockets. A few cherry-picked sentences (though it actually was a good read, do recommend the whole article if you have the time).

https://www.ably.io/concepts/long-polling

> Reliable message ordering can be an issue with long polling because it is possible for multiple HTTP requests from the same client to be in flight simultaneously.

> Another issue is that a server may send a response, but network or browser issues may prevent the message from being successfully received. Unless some sort of message receipt confirmation process is implemented, a subsequent call to the server may result in missed messages.

> Depending on the server implementation, confirmation of message receipt by one client instance may also cause another client instance to never receive an expected message at all, as the server could mistakenly believe that the client has already received the data it is expecting.

> Unfortunately, such complexity is difficult to scale effectively. To maintain the session state for a given client, that state must either be sharable among all servers behind a load balancer – a task with significant architectural complexity – or subsequent client requests within the same session must be routed to the same server to which their original request was processed.

> This can also become a potential denial-of-service attack vector – a problem which then requires further layers of infrastructure to mitigate that might otherwise have been unnecessary.

> That said, there are cases where proxies and routers on certain networks will block WebSocket and WebRTC connections, or where network connectivity can make long-lived connection protocols such as these less practical. Besides, for certain client demographics, there may still be numerous devices and clients in use that lack support for newer standards. For these, long polling can serve as a good fail-safe fallback to ensure support for everyone, irrespective of their situation.

And this one is the most important response to the OP article, in my opinion.

> That said, given the time and effort – not to mention the inefficiency of resource consumption – involved in implementing these approaches, care should be taken to assess whether their support is worth the added cost when developing new applications and system architectures.
So you see art as an emotional response in a bottle?

I never really accepted that. Otherwise, the response I've gotten to a hypothetical man under a rock perfectly replicating the Mona Lisa without having witnessed or heard of it before would be as great and worthy of celebration of artistic work as the original; many of more artistic inclinations I've spoken to balk at the very suggestion. Man that was a fun day in Philosophy of Art class.

Most of the artistic I've gone back and forth with do not see the end product alone as Art, but also the process, from ideation, to execution, and finally display. The reason behind the creation of that particular work and not another even has a place in the Art-Ness of the work-of-art.

Just because something is moving to someone, somewhere can be said to be necessary, but not quite sufficient to bestow the quality of being Art. It's a rather perplexing problem to discuss. I tend to approach it like linguists do language. Descriptive, not prescriptive. Though I haven't mingled in artistic circles recently to reconduct a census with regard to generative music/art. Most of those I do run into though tend to be non-committal on the subject and just treat it as just what I've described. A pleasant, and surprisingly novel sensation from an unexpected origin.
Anything that can be computer controlled, it could work for if built appropriately. As it sits, the midi interface will let it work with about any midi-based device, if the software is written to match. My next step is going to be having it run my Ensoniq VFX. At that point I'll have it be able to switch between the DX7 and VFX at the touch of a button. I've already used it with a DX7 MkI, and a DX21.

A very early prototype got hooked into a theatrical lighting system, just because. I only had it wired in for a few minutes, the guy that did the lighting design for that theater really, really, wanted me to leave it. The ability to be able to be so interactive with the lighting appealed to him.

As to cost, the sensors themselves would be dirt cheap to mass-produce, the most expensive part would be the display. This one uses discrete LEDs, but I think an old-style, low-res, low cost monochrome LCD would be plausible, allowing more sensors in the same space, and a alphanumeric for labels & such. Most of the circuitry could be replaced by a simple microcontroller, it doesn't require any high-power math or signal processing.
Apple was not first with 3D Touch, Android had it since Eclair in 2009.

https://pocketnow.com/force-touch-android-has-had-that-for-y...

Apple's version is novel and more robust. What doomed both is the uneven implementation across apps, lack of affordance, and differing skill of applying variable force among the population (aka 'hitting the sweet spot') Press and hold fulfills pretty much the same function, though not as elegantly.

As a UX designer, I wouldn't advocate deprecating force touch features but rather, leave them in for advanced users, work on onboarding and affordances, and let the masses 'tap tap tap..' for the same functionality. Imo, there is too much Lowest Common Denominator design out there, and advanced UX shouldn't be eliminated because some people don't get it.

I agree, also no mention of figure skating.

My significant other took figure skating lessons as a child and although nothing monetary every came back out of those lessons she has stated time and again that she is very easily influenced and if it wasn't for the environment she was put in, she would have gotten in with 'the wrong crowd' in school if she didn't have some sort of regiment.

Looking back her parents really struggled to pay for it as the cost of the skates/lessons ice time was close to $10k/year. They had two daughters who both were in the program. She was the "poor" one of them all, although no one is poor if you can afford figure skating.

She didn't appreciate what her parents had done for her until she had grown up and realized the amount of trouble she avoided by having to be involved in figure skating, along with how much it cost her parents.

Yes "rich kid sports" are sadly not free and accessable to everyone. Anyone can scrape some change together for a soccer ball, football or basketball cheap and have their kids spend hours and hours playing with them. The sports which require equipment, lessons and/or trainers are obviously going to be more expensive to learn.

If parents go into it with the expectation that their are providing a safe culture for their children to socialize, learn how to fail and try again while also becoming proficient at a skill/sport then there is nothing wrong with it. The problem arises when parents pay for their children's sport, expecting a monetary return on investment rather than investing in the experience for their children and realize it is probably going to be a one way street.
Oh boo hoo. Multiple-hundred millionaire is lonely and doesn't know how to define himself. Cry me a river.
The solution to this are labor laws that result in less work hours for everyone, that apply to all employers. A universal basic income would also help accomplish this. The problem then, however, becomes how do you compete with another country that does offer cheaper labor.
When this feature launched it was literally an engineer sitting at home watching TV and entering the scores into a Google Spreadsheet, which Search pulled via Google Sheets API and stuck into a formatted OneBox. I think they've since taken the engineer out of the loop and worked out real data distribution deals with the sports leagues.

The thing is - from a product perspective, this is the right way to do it. At the time of its launch (2013, IIRC), about 90% of new features launched on the SRP didn't survive live experiment phase (i.e. nobody wanted them), and about 98% didn't survive their first birthday (if people did want them, it was only transient, or they didn't want them enough to justify ongoing maintenance). This was one of the lucky ones.

It's also somewhat pointless to optimize this case - from a product perspective, polling is better for the user (websockets have some edge cases around firewalls and network changes that make them a bit less reliable), and I guarantee that the bandwidth used by this feature is rounding error for Google. They spend many times more hosting JQuery for free than this feature consumes.

Sometimes the dead-simple answer is the right one, and rather than paying someone to do the hard bits, you're better off not doing the hard bits at all.
Ah yes I missed the bit where you mentioned the Android subsystem.
This looks more like a device to take notes on in meetings rather than replace a work laptop or desktop.
According to your definition of click-bait title, I would say that almost all the human literature would be "click-bait".
True, I wrote that comment as I was watching the announcement live stream. It's still pretty much a prototype at this point but I hope they don't mess up that windows theme a lot.

I'm still running an AMD cpu I bought around 2019 ( I think?) in a tower that is 10 years older than that. The PSU is a year old because I had to replace it. The video card is 2 years old. All that to say, I run my hardware for a long time.
Slightly off topic, but with Android going back to version numbers instead of desert names, the next version will be Android 10 .. so we'll have Windows 10, macOS X (10.something) and Android 10. Arguably, Apple has been in the 10 camp longest.

Windows 10 X just sounds like reverse macOS (MacOS X 10.x)
It was the first YC company to exit (publicly, there was one from the same batch that was acquired first but wasn't made public). But then it was spun out again and recapitalized a few years later.
Remember your comment 5 years from now. There is a reason that most manufacturers are working on dual/folding screens. It is natural to try to get the phone and tablet market at once. I think it's great and hope they have judged their technology correctly, because if done well it is the future.
What’s your reason for such an antagonist reply?

I wish that those types of companies could find ways to generate more revenue and job opportunities and get on lists like this. In the same vein, I think YC has the opportunity and resources to really elevate those types of companies and help them make it big.
These guys just can not figure out a branding/marketing scheme that won't require overexplaining each time to figure out, and confusion by the consumer.
