I've just open sourced the JavaScript and Python client under https://github.com/EasyDB-io.

I've also created a Golang repository (http. https://github.com/EasyDB-io/Golang-Client) just for you. If you're really gungho, feel free to implement the 4 http requests using Go. In fact, If you do, I'll send you $5 via Stellar.

Otherwise I'll have to do it whenever I have a free 20m, but no promises on timeline.

I hate provisioning infra. It should be easy, and it never is.

I just want some damn state for my lambdas without spinning up Firebase...again.
I am not sure that we can call a text that has not yet been typeset a "book". In any case, do you know any such format that does not completely botch equations? The closest I can imagine is html with mathjax.
I just see we got the feature too, everything still works. can type the markup like before and it just works, even the triple backtick to end the codeblock. Also when pasting I get a popup asking me if I want to paste the literal text or apply formatting.
Most Germans wouldn't really believe that they do, not because our services wouldn't do it on principle, but because unlike in America, we usually think of our intelligence services as bumbling idiots that fail at spying.

In reality they seem to be somewhat competent at some things, and reports that they do indeed successfully surveil foreign embassies seem to be true.

How Tally Is Used in the Automation Industry?
Middle of the face, and probably more like 51.8° originally. That corresponds to base faces measured in turns of a measuring wheel and a height of the same number of wheel diameters, which would be an incredibly sensible way of laying it out (letting the tools do the calculation for you).
> "In one rare, fascinating, and deliberate case, Thumbtack decided to eschew any constraint"

For the record, the eschewing of any constraints was due to a combination of naivety and then later stumbling upon a successful method of "driving initial supply" rather than any sort of deliberate decision of the best way to build a marketplace.
Sander's blurb is actually quite well phrased, and he does not take any undue credit for the prevailing thinking at the time, but it is all ex post facto analysis.

Very enjoyable article though. Will be interested to follow along.
The difference, as I see it, is between giving a general advice and giving advice as a response to someone venting about something. There is no problem with telling, "I have learned that X", or "in my experience X is a good thing to do when Y". The problem is when you answer with, "you should do X" when someone tell you about a problem they have without asking for help with solving the problem.

It is even a difference between me saying something like: "The way this work in javascript sucks", which clearly is venting. And: "the way this work in javascript is so confusing, can you help me understand it?" Someone writing a blog-post about how this work is of course also advice, but not as a direct answer to someone venting about it.

Meta, I know the sentence structure wasn't the best, but I don't want help with improving it right now
Can you imagine the reverse scenario, people giving you unsolicited advice?

Most people just don't like advice they didn't ask for.
It turns out that YouTube didn't represent it has being safe to use. Rather a channel misrepresenting itself as representing youtube did.

The point is that life has value, that good experiences have value and that you should build a future for the life to come and not be so self centered. Thank the ones who came before you to make your life possible.
Sure, my point is that it makes little sense to jump to these conclusions with so little information, especially since this is not the point of the article.

I’m amazed that I’m still talking about this :)
Slack is quickly becoming the kind of enterprise software I hate having to use.

If you’re on multiple Slacks, as is becoming increasingly common these days (I have 23 Slack accounts, five of which I’m logged in to on a daily basis), the UX is terrible. Whenever you switch from one Slack to another, you have to wait for the whole UI to reload, often takes several seconds.

You’d think all that VC money would make them able to afford building a proper desktop client instead of this Electron shovelware crap.
I've open sourced the Python and JavaScript clients (https://github.com/EasyDB-io).

I'm also writing up a cURL section to throw on the main page. If you want to implement a client, have at err!

I'll even put a bounty of $5 (Paid in Stellar) for each client implemented.
We don't necessarily need every case to be testable, and even so thoughtful use of occams razor or something can prevent the kind of exponential worst-case scenarios that almost nobody wants.

My problem is that contemporary software design seems to draw that line at a place that allows for few use-cases. It seems to be especially prevalent in modern enterprise stuff like Slack or Skype -- with the latter being a very good example of the old ways (e.g. original skype clients) regressing into the new ways (e.g. latest skype version).
What's wrong with the drafts feature? I tend to use it if I'm messaging someone and I don't have all the info yet or I might have forgotten to reply :)

Was super skeptical about all those Jira replacement SaaS’s out there. But Clubhouse is actually pretty good. For people on the fence, give it a try.
The one-line summary seems to be that one should never worry about caches themselves introducing concurrency bugs.

I mean after we account for memory operations reordering on each core, the memory address storing a single value that is visible to all cores is a correct model from the concurrency-correctness point of view, right?
I am in a similar position. It is almost always the technical people in a company that sets this stuff up, thus you are losing the goodwill of the decision-makers, which is unfortunate.
Let's put some more blame on people who chose Slack for their companies/teams/communities. Most Slack users don't use it willingly.

I for one am showing the middle finger here; when forced to talk on Slack, I use Ripcord as a client.
Depends on how they measure 4k and 60fps.. i mean their dongle can output that steadily even with 1fps and 800x600 stream..

I seriously see no point to stadia, at all. Main concern is an input lag - you either have a huge lag(150+ms is huge) or you use some kind of predictive algorithm.. and then you get input mis-predictions which are very noticeable and annoying for players.

Not to mention a bit of philosophical approach - is it even you playing the game? why not watch lets play instead(i hate myself for saying this)?

I've seen side-by-side comparison of RDR2 on stadia and xbone, and it looked like stadia was running on low details(not to mention that everything was blurry due to upscaling) - but i have no idea how legitimate that comparison was.
Even better, I'd like to see them restored to their initial glory. Imagine visiting something like the Temple of Karnak as it was shortly after completion.
More similar to the sh sound in shell (am swedish).
This and the Mk2 prototype in Florida are mostly experiments with manufacturing processes; I would not be surprised if there were a reliability problem with their methods that weakened the product.

This was based on a misconception that was later debunked.

DMT is not known to be produced by the human brain.

And even if it were... the large amounts of monoamine oxidase naturally present in the blood would all too quickly break it all down.

The only way too get enough DMT to temporarily overwhelm the MAO is through exogenous sources.

That example picture is amazing!

It would have looked even more amazing if the land was greener back then instead of a desert as some theories speculate.

This is on the level of dinosaurs having feathers; radically changing our perceptions of the past.

I wonder how come no fiction has depicted the pyramids like that? Or has it?
The bane of my learning Swedish.

I do understand this sound on a cognitive-analytic level (some phonetics courses at university help when learning sounds). I can pronounce it, at least passably.

There are big regional variations to pronouncing sj and so on. Fine, I can live with that, just pick one and use it consistently, preferably that of your teacher.

But when it comes to the sound the article is about, I hear something else.

At some point I cut together many instances of words with that sound from Swedish pop songs and told my teacher which sound (IPA) I clearly hear in all those instances. She told me flatly that I'm wrong. Those singers clearly sing another IPA sound.

It must be similar to when Russians try to show me the difference between hard and soft consonants. They tell me they really over-pronunciate now and they sound starkly different, I'm not even sure I hear a difference.
That's why since yesterday on my French AZERTY typing a ` results in "`. Thanks a lot slack! Another reason that proves and allows me to keep saying that Slack is just a bad copy of IRC that's able to display useless gifs and consumes 1 to 2GB of ram for nothing :]
Indeed, nothing says condescending and self absorbed like a disclosure that is code for "you may be too mentally challenged/fragile to participate in an open exhange of ideas, particularly these, child"
The reason for Slack's success is probably because it's a "turn key solution": you register your company, invite your employees, enter your CC, and you're good to go.

With a lot of these open solutions things are more complex. I think we should really focus on providing a good UX here if we want more adoption.

(also, I don't know if Riot is that much better; opening https://riot.im/app/ makes Firefox use 100% CPU and my laptops fan spin; I closed it after 10 seconds of just a loading animation)
Yeah. It never took off. Really wanted to have a Firefox clone in with Servo + HTML UI. It looked very neat: http://paulrouget.com/bhtml/
Totally agree. My experience is different. I went through stages similar to OP and managed to maintain for decades. Having a hard but intact marriage/kids helped with grounding.

I would similarly warn that stimulants+mania is dangerous -- make sure you get enough sleep! My friend just went through something very similar and now he is much more on the paranoid side.

As a non-native english speaker it's a weird mix of confusion/joy/madness when I see native speakers who don't read spell a word in a horrendous way that only makes sense to me the instant I read it aloud internally. The same language but spoken or written it's two different worlds.

I find it interesting that this news was largely over-shadowed by the news that he was acquitted on the two rape-charges in Sweden (again). The so-called rapes could/should have been dropped a lot earlier as they did not amount to what generally would be considered rape (i.e broken condom in consensual sex), but they choose to do it the same day this story broke.

AlphaZero evaluates comparably less positions per second than Deep Blue. It doesn't even reach 100k nodes per seconds of I remember correctly, while Deep Blue was in the millions[1]. Therefore, even though the training is done by brute force, the evaluation is way less "brute forcing" in AlphaZero than in Deep Blue.

Not just Stockfish on modern hardware can evaluate fewer nodes than Deep Blue and still beat it left and right; in 1995 Fritz on a Pentium was able to beat Deep Thought II at the world chess championship. Deep Blue and its ancestors, with their custom hardware, were perhaps the "most brute force" of all chess engines.

Actually one could argue that the sentence structure resembles ADD symptoms in a way.
Wouldn't this make more sense as a tampermonkey / greasemonkey userscript?

That way it loads automatically when you visit slack, no need to repeat anything.

Disadvantage would be that you need a browser extension.
It would be a glancing blow, though. Bad, but not as bad as a blow striking orthogonal to the surface.
It could remove the Markdown once the message has been sent, and only show it in editing mode. Then readers wouldn't have their flow disturbed, and authors could edit their messages in a sane way.
I'm not going to do this on every refresh. I predict the market/ecossytem for guerrilla browser extensions targeting technical Slack users hotting up.

The sad thing about the Parthenon (and the Acropolis in general) was that it had been well preserved until then, albeit with changes. It had successively been a church and a mosque. Unfortunately, the Acropolis was also the most defensible position in Athens, so it was (since its inception) a strategic outpost as well. :-(
Once you've already designed something to survive a very steep and fast atmospheric re-entry with delicate electronics intact, it's going to withstand other kinds of punishment pretty well too.

What sort of resources did this take? Racks of GPUs, or a laptop, or what?
Sadly I think this is just another case of product adoption largely being driven by techies in the early stages because they loved it, and later in its growth stages realising their market is now way more mainstream and designing their features as such. And now we're alienated by the same product we helped spread.

Twitter is another obvious example I can think of.
Ah and already posted of course. ;-)

Your website is a directory, not a marketplace.
Maybe yes, something like this. For ex. I do share an Excel Document (with VBA) with a very high person in our company. I could write everything in there and it would executed when he open it with his account with access to all this fancy information. I joke about this all the time.

I mean just VBA is not a problem, just if you start to do things outside of the document.

I think it wouldn't be even hard to implement it.
Schemaed – apply schemas to semi-structured data sources
No, it doesn't. It's just syntax highlighting for markup. Disappearing formatting characters, which is what I switched Org to myself, is another story - it has some of the problems introduced by WYSIWYG.

to be fair, Slack predates Riot (and Riot has only got properly usable as a Slack replacement since hitting 1.0 in Feb this year).

But yes, very frustrating to see folks forced by a proprietary product to suck up something like the Slack editor change when there are FOSS options where you can just roll it back, set a config flag to get what you want, or worst case fork it.

It notably mirrors accounts of opiate users: you have a great time at first, and then you have shit time but can't stop. Like in Velvet Underground's: “I have made the big decision―I'm gonna try to nullify my life.”

IIRC even Burroughs wrote that he was mistaken in advocating or defending junk―even though he was saying it doesn't have negative effects on physique, when he was already pretty old.

Sorry to end your excitement, but it's basically identical to Skype for Business.

As I understand it MS has been covering the two (in both features and design) so that at some point one or other will be deprecated, but that in practice all that means is a name change for those users.
As you yourself point out, the brute force here refers to solving a problem by throwing more hardware at it.

Number of nodes searched is not the key metric for gauging how “smart” the algorithm is. You have less nodes searched but you only got there by having way more upfront processing.
It really depends on your browsing habits I have found, essentially how many tabs you have going at once.

I tend to be very frugal in my use of tabs, maybe 30 at any one time and even then very briefly and I don't have any issues.

To put this in perspective, I'm on a Librebooted T400 machine, so 4GB RAM on a Core 2 Duo and it FF hasn't been a major issue at all. Everyone's mileage may vary.
This is very hard, especially when you make ground-breaking strides in life and notice someone making the same mistakes you made previously. I personally had the epiphany last year that a woman's attraction to you cannot be bought or negotiated. It's a conscious effort to keep my mouth shut when seeing other men breaking their backs trying to buy their way into a woman's heart with wild experiences and fancy gifts.
First drafts (https://www.reddit.com/r/Slack/comments/c8o2q8/can_i_disable...), now this. Why is that so hard to implement a switch? Why aren't we given a choice?
As a native swedish speaker I like to tease people with word stress (accute vs grave accent). Words like tomten, regel and slutet mean different things depending on accent, which is very confusing for people who don't have swedish as a native tongue.

Would be interested also. :)
I think there's a battle between nerds and non-nerds, and maybe in between is the worst place to land. I know some of my projects' users complain a lot about the lack of a WYSIWYG editor in our forums and issue tracker (we use Markdown, displayed plain until previewed or saved). Some people hate it. But I would hate a standard WYSIWYG editor, so we just accept the hate. Every Markdown-ish WYSIWYG editor I've tried has sucked...so I don't know that it actually is easy to get right (if it is even possible, where is the good example?).

Slack serves a mix of nerds and non-nerds, with non-nerds becoming a bigger and bigger portion of their user base over time. I can only assume it will become less and less enjoyable for nerds in service to the goal of serving their growing non-nerd users. For my own projects, I don't foresee myself ever using Slack (I use it for work). It feels like a decent product getting worse with time as it tries to be all things to all people.
You can just toggle the old minimal input by clicking the first/third button from the right (Aa - Hide formatting).
My county has an independent Facebook page called nosy neighbor. They alert ask questions and can be asked wtf us going on. They also give news rundowns responsibly. It actually is a pretty ideal setup. No sensation but gets the word out and asks and filters info properly
https://modular.im gives a turnkey hosting solution for Riot/Matrix for what it’s worth.

Riot should be lighter weight than Slack, but launch (particularly if you haven’t used it in ages) can be slow, plus we’re chasing a startup perf regression on firefox atm. The main reason Riot’s better is that you can use your own server, participate in an open network, and have control over the software if some feature gets pushed out that you dislike. And you get E2E encryption :)
Isn't it the old functionality with the "Aa" toggle button? At least I don't have any problems with that after pressing it.
Yes, and most of us would do the same thing running a product, if it means more profits. Optimizing for Shareholder value...
Money is another way to measure performance. People that understand these low level principles can write a backend service in C/C++/Java/Erlang/Whatever that can do the work of hundreds of instances of a service written in higher level languages that ignore these concepts. That's not to say that it's never wise to use higher level languages, but these principles can and do save mature established businesses real money.
> Your "just let them talk for 5 minutes", is another person's "wait until they're receptive to feedback."

The way I'd put it is "just let them talk for 5 minutes" is another person's "actually listen to them before offering feedback". I'm constantly surprised by how many people offer advice without even hearing what the problem actually is.
And they probably aren't wrong either. Even at companies made of mostly programmers, those people aren't necessarily the ones making the decision about which communication platform to use.

Funny enough, I think you and I are very like minds on this subject.
This is the obvious way to do it, and also how Slack used to do it before this WYSIWYG thing at least.
Music. You could search for music, and the application would search a few mp3 sites for the track and play it automatically. Also, if the built-in browser detected music files or links embedded in the page, a bar popped up from the bottom offering to play the music.
The toggle only hides the UI, bad behaviour stays the same.
> “different cores can have different/stale values in their individual caches”.

Different processes can certainly have different versions of the same state, different values for the same variable, and different values at the same virtual address.

And what about virtual caches? Non-coherent cache lines?

Moreover, even in the face of cache coherency you can still have race conditions.
You're working on this full time? It looks like this site isn't monetized at all. Did I miss something?

Which is fine, because we'll go on to discover a newer, better, competitor.

Well, actually more like 3 newer, better, competitors.

And then we'll have endless arguments and religious wars about which newer, better, competitor is the best.

But we seem to enjoy that, so all good I guess. Go team Geek :)
