I believe the Rust rewrite of parts is proceeding, but this tech blog explains what's going on: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/08/the-baseline-interpreter-a...

> The Baseline Interpreter sits between the C++ interpreter and the Baseline JIT and has elements from both. It executes all bytecode instructions with a fixed interpreter loop (like the C++ interpreter). In addition, it uses Inline Caches to improve performance and collect type information (like the Baseline JIT).

Including elements [of code] from both would be considerably harder in another language.

If you read closely it appears the interpreter is "generated" - that it, it's not written directly in C++ or anything at all, but is instead an interpreter emitted by the JIT compiler!

Just if someone wonders: "Tagesschau" is a german television news service, probably the most famous in Germany.
I guess we grew up with stories which gave us +5 resistance to socialism. Stories about how in almost every group were people who would report you if you talked about some "threat" to union. Stories about how everyone was living in socialism and they were building communism. Once communism is built - nobody needs to even walk in streets - you will have conveyor belts everyone taking everywhere. Stories about how in the west capitalists were using everyone as slaves and how you as a citizen had power to control. Stories how streets were empty and you had to wait for car for 8 years to buy it (price was insane too). Everyone was stealing from factories, selling "behind table" and etc.
I'm sure there's counter-references to be found but I imagine the parent is thinking of things like this, from an interview with assistant director Kazuya Tsurumaki:

> Can you explain the symbolism of the cross in Evangelion?

? KT: There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice.

No. Default is Hunspell based offline spell checkers, since the beginning of Chrome.
At some point, those words start to take on a different meaning. "Pride" is something selfish that gets you in trouble, "character" is just what someone tells you when they need something for free, and respect of others is gained by being a good human being rather than a hard worker.

Sometime in your mid-30s you stop caring what "everyone else" thinks and work to build a life that makes you happy. For many of us, it's going through the motions at work and spending our real energy on friends and family. I actually feel bad for my colleagues who put in maximum effort and stay late every day.
Is there a way to vote for new Firefox features?

I switched to Firefox a couple of weeks ago and ML translations would be very low in my list of priorities.
The only difference is there was no labor capital at that period. The risk of capital has been transferred to labor from capitalists. The real change in government happened through Reagan who legalized big corps and started the age of M&A. Globalisation also did help in economy but countries like China which have closed markets but access to open markets lead to more marginalization of labor.

> Wire transfers between US and EU take a few hours to clear and cost $25. I send them all the time.

I receive a lot of payments from the US and I have never seen a wire transfer that takes less than a few days to arrive. This is consistent with the info given on Bank of America's website: the fee is $35 when sending foreign currency, $45 when sending USD, time 1-2 workdays. https://www.bankofamerica.com/foreign-exchange/wire-transfer... Chase: fee $40, time 3-5 workdays. https://www.chase.com/digital/wire-transfer

Even $25 for that is absolutely insane price, as instantaneous and free transfers within the European SEPA system demonstrate. Nothing comparable to SEPA exists for dealing with rest of the world. Express delivery services like Fedex deliver physical items faster from the US to Europe than payments move over digital channels.

The situation is even worse for businesses that deal internationally with larger sums of money and may have to take significant hits from currency fluctuations during slow transactions. There are billions to be saved annually with systems like RippleNet (xRapid).
> You could have made a fortune betting against my computer prognostications in the 90s.

See, this is something you have in common with the people who get paid to commentate on this stuff as though they knew anything about anything.

If it weren't for the fact that you've just been honest about your less than perfect prediction record, I'd suggest a career move! :)
These things only matter once basic monetary needs are met.
I asked. I'm open to the possibility that you were just making a snide comment about how you don't want to hear from these people at all. What kinds of comments would you expect in return?
> … required telling SBCL to do some stupidly dangerous things …

No, that isn't required.

On the contrary SBCL is quite insistent that the arithmetic be made safe.

I'm not even a Lisp newbie, but with help from SO I've been able to tweak those spectral-norm programs to make the SBCL compiler happy without destroying the performance:

These ideas are mostly pressure exerted by companies to "do as I say, not as I do". Most companies don't care about this stuff beyond what will make them some extra bucks. It's not personal, it's business.

I'm not sure how the world got so fucked up where we expect people making poor wages to behave "better" than multi billion dollar businesses.
I put my email back up in my profile temporarily.
Using energy is not emitting toxic chemicals. Burning coal is. Running your gasoline automobile is.

The disconnect in people's mind on this question seems to be motivated by either their ignorance or their biases.
Sadly, regular taxpayers will pay the bill. Just like last time.
> Obviously this can greatly vary. In America, immigration is tied to lower wages for lower tier jobs like chefs, construction workers, factory workers. I don't know enough to state immigration's effects on high tier white collar jobs like software engineering.

Can you show evidence this really happens even within lower wage jobs? Folks point out that not only are immigrants much less expensive labor for communities (in that there are qualified individuals arriving pre-trained and as active adults rather than locally trained and nurtured children), and that they tend to take different jobs than the native population does in most cases.

This is a surprisingly common take on the literature, with an unlikely consensus among both the conservative and radical left, libertarians and conservative libertarians, and even many on the conservative side.

The service industry is a particularly good example of how immigrants arriving into an economy tend to expand the economy to make room for themselves (they themselves need to contribute to the additional demand on the local services industry) rather than displacing the existing infrastructure.
Management is a separate class, it’s called the petite bourgeois. It’s basically the same class as small business owners. Maybe you’re thinking of castes which implicitly preclude social mobility?
The fact that a man is not a woman needs an argument to be made for it?
A friend once commented about Skull and Bones [0]:
"I don't know what's worse, the fact that it exists, or that I'm not a part of it." (Neither of us went to Yale :))

I wish there were a single word to capture this mix, because it's perfect for this story. This is absolutely repulsive, and also, why can't it happen to me?!

Investment Memo: Minit Process Mining
That's what we ended up with. So far the experience itself was good, but unfortunately it does not solve all our banking needs: for example, to receive payouts from Google Play you need your bank to be in the same country that a company is incorporated in. Since TransferWise is in Germany, it just doesn't work for Estonian companies.

We didn't yet publish our software in Apple App Store, but I've heard that it could be a problem there, too.
Pizza Identifier Information
Interesting idea, and seemingly not dissimilar to https://lyfevest.io, although Lyfevest has an all-you-can-eat subscription for asking questions, and the platform seemingly vets the experts automatically in some way (e.g. looking at the expert's public contributions).
I think it’s just, after you have designed enough things, you learn to think like a system and you know what a lot of the possibilities are before you play those specific corners of the system.

That said, you can always be surprised, and it’s delightful when this happens, so you don’t want to get on an egotistical high horse and decide you really know the system without playing it. The actual experience of the actual system is your reality check.

But, the more experience you have with that system, the more you can see where things might go (unless it’s intensely chaotic, thus unplayable).
And that would get into the ethics of not allowing non wealthy people to pay with their data.
When I worked for BofA decades ago, there was a PDP-11 at the center of a point to point network of other machines for handling SWIFT, Telex, FedWire .... This network turned over the assets of the bank every 4 days and BofA at the time was the largest private bank in the world.

The password for that console was sesame. Transactions were testworded but otherwise sent in plain text. When I worked in Europe a few years later I constructed by own telex bankwire transaction from a hotel in Italy. It was to my account for my money but it worked, no questions asked.
> Pause on DOM Mutation in Debugger

Heckin finally!

The dev tool improvements all seem good. Still no support for inline code edits, which means JS debugging will still be something of a pain, but strengthening Firefox's position as one of the better tools for debugging and prototyping CSS.
You're making a positive proposition in the domain of economics. You're obligated to show evidence of it if you can, or at least propose a mechanism people can debate. It's entirely feasible to do so.

But good luck with that; I think the data shows that it's not a very pronounced effect.
Do you know the difference between an immigrant and a refugee? Have you ever had to deal with the visa system of any western country?

I am in immigrant in the UK. You have to prove you have education, funds to support yourself, and a job offer with high salary. Add visa expenses, moving expenses, and you might realise only fairly 'privileged foreigners' can do this.

By all means, address issues causing low birthrates. But don't go around complaining about the unwashed masses, because kids from Somalia are never getting in.
well it seems you answered your own question.

There is a reason why security conscious software houses vendor (and vet some of ) their dependencies, despite being pain in the ass.

Some individuals have good opsec, most don't.
And no repo for any language i know of does security audits on all it's contents. they might do for targeted libs like crypto or similar, or run some automated software that might find some edge cases, but I wouldn't put too much trust in general.

Generally speaking your safety lies in using popular libs, on the theory that if something bad happens there is higher chance of somebody noticing.

But situation is not good from security perspective.

Of course in proprietary world in my experience situation is even worse.

That said, Docker files are usually simple, and I have no difficulty in inspecting the ones I care for. I do however always clone their repos, so i can simply diff the differences, so keeping up with updates is not that big of a deal.

Of course you still have to trust upstream so ...

"The more they feel that the system is rigged against them, the more they will demand the system itself be overthrown"

The author talks about it like the only alternative is overthrowing the system. This is another extreme, maybe the word you should use here is the social market economy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_market_economy). We use this term here in Germany, even our most deregulation friendly party is committed to it and by definition it's still capitalist.
When trying to explain to someone confused about this casual use of language that seems to imply an intent to evolve, I have used this analogy before.

"Have you ever said something like: I need an alignment done; my car wants to pull to the right? It is clear to the speaker and listener that the car does not want anything, it is just a manner of speech."

"In exactly the same way, when a biologist says 'the finches developed stronger beaks to better crack the nuts found on that island' it doesn't signify intent or design."
Thanks for the answers, I am glad to hear from the author!

- What do you mean "app code have to do migration by hand"? I'd say that most of the existing file formats need no migration -- images, videos, music basically don't change; and even very complex file formats like Microsoft doc only change with major versions, not with the minor ones -- MS word had tens of thousands code updates (service packs, localization, etc..) but only a dozen or so file formats.

- What do you mean by "restart" in "Persistence does not _forbid_ to restart things."?

if by "restart", you mean "kill all the threads related to object", then I don't think it will help in most cases. If you have a bug in "Draw()" function, this bug will still be there after thread restart.

If by "restart", you mean "wipe all the state, and start from the clean slate", then won't this destroy all the documents user made?

---

We live in persistent world, and we do suffer a lot from it, we are just very used to it. I have to wash my dishes every day, buy new clothes, and repair my car. I would love to be able to "save" the make, model, and license plate # of my car, then "restart" it to get a brand-new car with the same properties.

Default persistence of everything is annoying, and moving it to software is just unnatural :)
The Witness, mentioned up-page (at time of writing—will probably stay there, given the author) is great and a bit Mystish, though with a very different sensibility re: puzzles. There's also The Talos Principle, which is kinda Myst+Portal.

I didn't like Portal 2's official single player campaign as much as the first Portal, but the two-player coop mode is excellent, and a rare example of multiplayer puzzling.
Virtually no one wants to abandon capitalism. Many want to alter the public/private sector mix that makes up all modern economies, away from things like unfettered free enterprise, "corporate welfare", preferential treatment for the wealthy and other perceived excesses of capitalism. You may just be misunderstanding the debate, which makes sense since the terms we tend to use in these discussions border on meaningless.

No one wants to completely "overthrow capitalism" aside from a tiny fringe.
As someone who has hired many developers at a large Investment bank, I always found that people that knew Haskell or some other functional programming language tended to be far more productive in standard OO languages. I know of many other technical leads and hiring managers that look at Haskell as a market signal. As someone who does code in F# and Haskell in my spare time, I don't expect to get job using either of these languages, but knowing these languages got me a foot in the door to do some of the most interesting work I have ever had (many years ago). From those in the Haskell community that I do interact with, most people do not expect to code in Haskell for their day jobs, and most of them would continue writing Haskell code outside of work regardless of whether Haskell becomes a commercial success or not. For me, Haskell is one of those languages that is just worth knowing, simply because it gives you a different perspective on the world and a new set of mental tools. If you haven't as yet played with a strict functional language, then you really should give it a try.Not because you expect to use it at work, rather because learning new things is fun and it will make you better at your job anyway as a side effect. If the logic you used in your argument holds, then we should really be coding in assembler.
i joined eToys as a developer in the formative days. worked it hard thru the IPO. the S1 sits in a bookshelf.
i left when the company still had gas in the tank, but the writing was on the wall.
really smart technical people started to leave. i joined them. the bubble had yet to burst.

i cashed out, cut expenses, played golf during the day, coded at night.
as the bubble burst, i was already chasing the next thing.
never having to witness the layoffs and heartache was a blessing in disguise.

as the bubble burst, startup funding dried up. no one was funding 'an idea'
yet it was also a great time to be working on the problems of tomorrow.

having cash on hand was important...it allowed me to relax when others where in a panic

finding work was not hard. having talent always matters.

fast forward to today. its been about a year since i exited a startup that was acquired.
outside the bubble again, cash in hand, coding without a worry

i'm already 'dug in' and working on the next thing,
Yes, but these kids learn some spoken Italian (actually very often in the '20's and until maybe the '70's some specific italian dialect) while they have education ad everyday experiences outside the family in either French or English.

So, besides the high percentage of Chinese people in Vancouver, isn't the point about how many of them can vote but cannot read English?
And it was Papa Johns, not Pizza Hut.
Sounds like a terrible existence for a family man with kids.
occupy turned into a protest about the right to protest (classic strategy to stop any protest and derail message) and thus was able to be destroyed from outside but it also changed within due to Identity politics which lost many original supporters...however idpol didn't destroy it nor was the movement somehow more acceptable to the authorities when it changed.
I just finished Neon Genesis: Evangelion last month and was completely blown away by it! The intro alone is by far one of the most iconic in the genre.

The Google Antitrust Investigations – Learning from Germany’s Facebook Inquiry
It's crappy design which bypasses important security mechanisms of the OS (lower privileged users) by allowing every application with network access to access such critical functionality. One sane approach would be passing this information to the OS through the hypervisor which then exposes it as a properly ACLed file system.

This is like an author of a website vulnerable to CSRF (because it relies on IP for auth) blaming browsers for allowing cross site requests instead of require proper authentication. Except that Amazon is powerful enough to get away with pushing all the effort onto developers and admins.
Well curated picks for founders! I grabbed two audiobooks through your links.

Seems like a challenge could be to prove value over the native Amazon recommendations once you scale past a few niche categories though. Celebrity/Influencer lists could be one way to do that, but I'm sure you've thought through others.
Yes, but that doesn't change my point. They identify an inefficiency and ask the government to "fix" it, but in reality they were the inefficiency themselves. They didn't use their dollars, time, and/or knowledge to reach optimum productivity.
Are you saying tech isn’t establishment? IDK about percentages, but it’s definitely not the 90s anymore.
I can't speak for London, but in my experience, cabs are more likely to have a single passenger, than cars are to have a single driver.
It will be healthy for both Google and the internet at large for Google to have a revenue stream diversified from advertising.

If consumers feel that it is normal to pay small amounts of money for useful web-based services, Google and other sites will have better and more transparent opportunities to monetize.
Great way to create a cheap lab to fiddle with ! Thanks for sharing !

However, what are the real world use cases ? I’m a container noob, but i don’t see why I’d make it at home for more than the sake of saying « I’ve done it ! ». It seems that the github examples are just bragging this. Which is great, in fact I would be happy to do the same !

I’m curious and would be happy if someone shared use case where this type of back end is useful.
I'm just excited to finally be able to read the fonts and Kanji/Kana.

When I first saw Evangelion - the text looked cool, foreign and amazing. I never thought there'd be one day when I would be able to read the kana phonetically and know what it means or actually recognize kanji.
Missing Lennart Poettering.
You are wrong that most young people are for "unfettered immigration", but you are correct that most young liberals are in favor of having the borders be more open than they are now. What I find paradoxical is that many of the near-and-dear issues to young liberals -- housing prices, rents, public transit, homelessness, health care -- are exacerbated by an increased population.
Is it not just as black and white as the whole "socialism/communism is bad" stuff we're fed? People act like Medicare For All would be catastrophically expensive, when even our arguably closest allies in the UK — not exactly a socialist haven! — have the NHS, which seems to work out great. They pretend the Green New Deal would mark the end times for the US, as if the last New Deal's massive investment in infrastructure didn't help revitalize the economy.

But yes, I agree — the idea that best thing to do is dogmatically implement one particular economic system is absurd.
Only a week? And I would slap python 3 right on top of that. Despite the language being inherently messy and fully dynamic (similar to js), there are tons of static analysis tools, compilers, alternate run times, IDEs, etc.

Edit: the "only a week?" question was genuine, it wasn't meant to be tongue in cheek.
I wouldn't call the actual experience of a regular person who lived under the rule of the USSR to be any sort of propaganda. But I suppose that's just another way of saying you would like to invalidate anything said by people you don't agree with.

Not that the comment in question was particularly substantive. There is certainly a debate to be had there, but it's already been done a million times over on the internet, so I don't care.

But it is very interesting to read a comment like yours. Not for any reason other than to see the pure rage, saying literally nothing "intellectually honest" about the subject, but rather comparing people you disagree with to conspiracy theorists who believe in aliens.
