How else do you explain a 23-230x response time decrease? Either it’s faster or it’s not.

I’ve just shown you that it’s not faster. Benchmark Roda against Phoenix and you’ll see exactly the same is also true for the web workloads.

My man saying that someone like Picasso did not have skill or talent is just the height of absurdity. All of these guys went to some of the most prestigious art schools around. They had all the raw skills to paint like any of the classicists, but they didn't because that was boring and dated.
Depends on your project. My experience is that if you use a single language throughout, then your language-specific build tool probably suffices. But once you go polyglot, interactions between these language-specific build tools are bad and you'd be better off replacing all of them with one tool that understands everything. Especially if you have cross-language dependencies (e.g. your Go program depends on C++ using cgo, or your Python has a module written in C). Whether or not you want that tool to be Bazel is your choice.

Only for people who know what they’re doing. If a hacker faces hardware they’ve never seen before it will take some time to read up on it, especially if datasheets and such is not available online.

I fully concede it’s security by obscurity, though. A technician possessing any experience with that hardware is probably going to make short work of its security measures.

I am at the stage of my life where I weigh up the extra cost of a good seat vs my health. A bad seat can see me out of action with a bad neck and severe headaches for up to two days. I now often upgrade to Premium whenever I can, and take a full service airline over a budget one. It is well worth the lost days on either end if my health is impacted.

On my last trip to the US, I did the Qantas 'upgrade roulette' thing (they send an email to passengers a couple of days before the flight asking them to bid points and/or dollars to upgrade their seats). I bid the minimum points of 10,000 and the minimum dollar value of I think around $400. The system told me I had a 1% chance of getting the upgrade so I forgot about it. On the morning of the flight, I got an email from them saying I had been upgraded to Business class - worth normally $4000!

Having a lie-flat business class seat for the 14 hour SYD-LAX leg on the A380 was so good, I am considering only doing transatlantic flights in Premium or Business from now on.

Who decides if there is an issue? Who decides that the status quo is the absolute best situation?

The answer to both of these questions is the same: established political and business interests.

If you believe in the political right of people to be self-governing, then I see no reason why you wouldn’t support any and all independence movements which sufficiently represent the populace. Of course, in order to minimize rash decisions, some restrictions might be necessary (e.g. only vote on the issue once a decade, when 85% of the population agrees, etc.)

Having said that, I can see other arguments which essentially say that forcing unification is ultimately beneficial for individual citizens, as larger states tend to have more power then smaller ones (i.e. unified Prussia was invaded far less than the loose confederation of German states.) But this seems a bit unlikely in the modern West; an independent Quebec or Scotland isn’t going to get invaded by its neighbors.
Are you aware of the Texan separatist movement? Basically a bunch of nutcackes and conspiracy theorists, Chuch Norris included but nevertheless it exists.
Yes, biodiversity in major crops is a serious problem.

Global famine? Give me a break.

That would require the failure of multiple crop species extending across thousands of miles. It's never happened in human history on that scale.

Why would it now? Yes, losing all the Cavendish bananas would be really bad. But why would a superbug that takes out all the bananas have any effect on the corn, wheat, etc growing down the road?

The biodiversity issue is intraspecies not interspecies.
Huh?

I thought that fees and expenses were generally 30%-40% of settlements.
These depictions of JS Bach as a rebel and a bad boy are from people who don’t recognize or connect with the timeless underlining genuineness of Bach. His goal in every writing was to make music for the glory of God, purely. Weather you’re religious or not, clearly his music is genuine. What’s missing from this article is why did he he do the things he did, and the back stories to each one is seeped in his struggle with those who are selfish or otherwise poor minded compared to him. You can recognize bits of Tibetan saints even in this stories.

Here’s a perfect example where a head master downplays a music ciriuclum at a school, and he reacts to what is right and the speaker in this video can’t believe why he would stick up for what’s right vs his own self interest only. And then seems to imply that saints are just nice and don’t stick up for what’s right.

I totally agree. When a project using Java fails, people would never think to blame the choice of Java as a contributing factor. When a project using Haskell fails, people will consider Haskell to be contributing to its failure even if the root cause lies elsewhere (bad management, bad culture, etc).
I assume you're joking?

USPS operates through rain, sleet, snow, etc, but not famine.
> To be clear, my comment below is about separatism in first world nations. If a region is attempting to separate from an oppressive regime,...

In that case, we are talking about a first world state that is also an oppressive regime (jails political opponents, has paramilitary grops, engages in state terrorism against its own people, etc.)

What happens, then? Do you demote spain as third world (I would totally agreee with that) so you that you can still support the people who want to escape?

I peronally like Vue more than React so just hope Gridsome will gain more widespread use in the near future. Gatsby is great honestly.
Correct. But that you can engineer if you put a little effort in. My last flight from Athens to Singapore a couple of weeks back (a 12 hour flight), the plane was relatively full, but because I was polite to the checkin agent and asked for a paid upgrade to premium (which wasn't available), she booked out the entire row in the centre section for me so I could lie down and sleep.
One more thing in gridsome, It has a lot of data sources support to make the site static.

Literally any source you can think of.
They're really tasty and good for you. There's also a deep primal satisfaction from eating something directly from the wild earth. It's also a long-standing tradition in many cultures.

> (And yes it doesn't have to use a persistent process to solve these problems. That is the solution it chooses.)

How much did the fact that Java is very slow starting up influence the decision to use a persistent process instead of some other solution?
Pretty much.

I flew once on a business class in a 10+ hour flight. I slept so well. The food was great. It was so relaxing. I bet first class would have been even better. I wouldn't mind flying for 20 hours in a business class.
I think you're right. My C-ish translation (that ignores errors) is:

int dst /*8*/, src /*9*/, c1, df, tbuf[8], dir[BIG];
char dotdot[] = ".. ";

df = open(dotdot, O_RDONLY);
dst = dir - 1;
while (read(df, tbuf, 8) != 0) {
if (tbuf[0] != 0) {
c1 = -8;
src = tbuf - 1;
do {
*++dst = *++src;
} while (++c1 != 0);
}
}
close(df);

df = creat(dotdot);
write(df, dir, dst - dir + 1);
close(df);
exit();

That is, copy any directory entry with a non-zero inode into dir[], and then write that back. Pack Directory.

According to https://wiki.tuhs.org/doku.php?id=systems:pdp7_unix ‘..’ was the name of the current directory (i.e. what is now ‘.’), so this operated on the current directory.

In my experience, working with JSX and combining different technologies has turned my productivity into mush. I can pump out massive features much more quickly with more vanilla technologies. But maybe that's because I haven't been patient enough with the learning curve...
>> It astounds me that counsel would suggest that. Is there any case law to support this? That idea is the "misinformation" I'm specifically referring to.

It gets fuzzy as to whether it's the automated censoring of words, or if it's during the times when human moderators were blocking or approving ads - or some of the hybrid systems approaches, but you will see via this article in wired [1] that agencies specifically went after the moderation discussions to drum up legal criminal cases and civil suits based upon moderation practices.

[1] - https://www.wired.com/story/inside-backpage-vicious-battle-f... - long article, perhaps do a ctrl+f and find on page "soon issued a series of subpoenas, seeking internal documents that would reveal Backpage’s moderation practices."

at this point in the process they also used these holes created in 230 to do asset forfeiture on several other platforms (discussed in same article).

Counsel I heard this from is one of the more famous lawyers/attorneys in the country and was paying particular attention to the tactics being employed in these cases. - The advice was given at a time in the middle(ish) of the
backpage drama, and before fosta was written / passed - among whatever other changes in and around the country that could affect the advice.

Since then, several things have happened that may change the advice, or not.. fosta sesta came to be, I recall an article not too long ago where judges were reigning in civil asset forfeiture in many ways... FAANG assoc was against fosta, then changed their tune for at-this-moment-i-don't-know reasons.

So the advice now may be different for different situations. For the moment I still think that somehow someone running a chan type software which has no way to moderate, or even a stock vbulletin / phpbb type thing can claim dumb pipe; 230 protection - yet places that actually do moderate, and from the wired article info it doesn't seem to matter if it's human or auto-erase bad words filters.. these practices can be twisted to create a shadow of doubt to bring troubles.

>> I believe SESTA/FOSTA to be unconstitutional, and eagarly await someone brave enough to challenge them.

I agree, and same.

At a time when politics appear more important than constitutional protections, I think it would be wise for others big and small to be concerned about these things. Future upwardly-wanna-be mobile politicians can use these same attack methods against fbook and others not just as punishment and affordable fines, but as fodder to bring up their careers notoriety / free advertising, which can hurt a brand in ways that they may never recover from.

It would not surprise me to see an article like this"
https://reason.com/2019/08/26/secret-memos-show-the-governme... "
with all the instances of backpage taken out and replaced with fbook when dems win, or with youtube if conservatives keep getting riled about it. Just outrageous / fictitious examples to consider.

UNIX was written in assembly at first. By the Fourth Edition, the kernel was rewritten to be in a version of C (that won't go through a modern C compiler anymore), both 1973. The C compiler itself was introduced in the Third Edition. Parts of userland would still be in assembly even until the 7th Edition (1979), such as roff(1) (nroff/troff were in C), parts of as(1) or chess(6).

I've only done business class on shorter flights, and if you have the money, I would definitely recommend it. To me, the extra space in premium as well worth it, and it's not as steep of a price increase versus business.

I agree with you on the full service airlines versus a budget one, to me, travel has always been a privilege and something I save up for. So I've never considered traveling on a budget to save costs.

The exact same time it takes a programmer who has never seen Java or its close siblings like C++ to learn and understand all the keywords like "public" or "static" or "class" or "interface" or "extends" and how they work.

The only difference is that a random programmer you pick has probably already spent the time understanding Java and OOP, but not Haskell.
Absolutely. I guess the point of my post above is that sometimes you can put a little effort in to engineer the best outcome (or just have lady luck smile upon you) in order to make the difference between hours of torture or hours of bliss. Just picking an airline which uses the 787 instead of an older model is huge.

I hope that airlines like Qantas etc. realise that on these extra long flights, people like myself are more than willing to pay a little extra for small comforts like plenty of leg room or space to get up and walk/stretch at regular intervals.
Interestingly, it's quite similar to how Raymond Chandler taught himself to write - he took a popular short story (by Erle Stanley Gardner I think), wrote an outline of its plot, and then wrote his own story from the outline and compared it to the original. He clearly didn't keep up the process for his original works; it's interesting to wonder what the result might have been.

> Why did African swine fever spread so fast in China?

> Systemic problems in China may have accelerated the spread of African swine fever, a dangerous pig virus that has no cure or vaccine. According to an investigative piece by Chinese business portal Caixin last month, divergent interests of central and local officials, money worries and "political tasks" created incentives to hide disease reports. Lacking reliable information, farmers panicked and liquidated herds when they heard rumors of disease in their neighborhood. Big regional price differences due to localized pig liquidations and quarantines created strong incentives to truck pigs and pathogens around the country. Traders flouting bans easily evaded authorities--and were often abetted by corrupt veterinary officials who sold fraudulent health certificates and ear tags.

There will be no famine as a result of a single type of crop in a local area getting killed. It still takes at least weeks for the virus to spread around to other crops which is plenty of time to become aware of it and stop its spread. There is also nothing preventing imports of healthy foods over the border.

There is also no real incentive to bring bad crops over the border to a safe area.
We can quickly find out that ScottyM is a Functor/Applicative/Monad though. And in this code (and using this library in general), that's all we need to know! FAM is a universal interface.
Clojure & Clojurescript are very practical and pragmatic. I've been writing Javascript for quite long time, I have tried and used most *script languages: Coffescript, Typescript, Livescript, Gorillascript. I've looked into Elm, ReasonML and Purescript. Clojurescript today has is the most balanced one - it gives you real productivity boost, simple FFI, different bundling options, gradual typing and generative testing, code that is clean, concise and very easy to reason about. It is a shame people dismiss it for some dogmatic reasons even without given it a try.

> but it looks like ~(dir - 2) + 8.

That took me a while. The ‘8’ in ‘tad 8' is the contents of memory location 8, i.e. the destination pointer in the memory copy, so it's ~(dir - 2) + dst. And since -x = ~x + 1 (there being no negation instruction), that works out to the length, dst - dir + 1.

As I said in another comment, no one cares about free taxes as much as TurboTax cares about not having free taxes. It is a minor annoyance to every citizen, but it is life or death for TurboTax.

The people who are hurt by not having free taxes certainly can't afford lobbyists, and even if they could... they would have to spend so much more than they pay in tax preparation fees for their whole life to compete with TurboTax money. Who would do that?
There are alternatives that satisfy this (valid, IMO) requirement. For example, there is build2 (https://build2.org ; full disclousure: I am involved with the project) that tries to achieve the same objectives (correct & fast builds, uniform interface accross platforms, being language agnostic, etc) though not necessarily using the same mechanisms (build2, for example, tries to be fairly light-weight).
