It’s not sound engineering whatsoever, it actually is horrible engineering especially when the base layer is congested - Engineers and developers who are far more proficient than you have already chimed in on this, including Vitalik the creator of Ethereum, who also firmly supports the path to scale Bitcoin Cash is taking:

Speaking of lights, are there no laws in the US about how bright headlights can be? At the risk of being too dramatic, I have had cars behind mine with their lights so bright I thought they had their high beams on.
Truly zero deaths won't be achievable without giving up all forms of transport. Public transport kills pedestrians and bicycle riders, and there are even pedestrians killed by bikes. You can certainly reduce the numbers, but you won't get even close to zero.

I wasn't able to find general statistics, only for Cologne/Germany, a city of about 1 million with relatively good public transport.
In 2016, 18 people were killed on the roads of Cologne. 6 of them have been killed by a tram. In 2017, 19 were killed, 4 by tram.
There are no statistics for pedestrians killed by bikes, but last year there was at least one such case in Cologne.
This is actually not about a source repository being larger than a gigabyte, but a problem that arises with the C-preprocessor, where for a certain use, a certain header file is included many, many times, and where the position for all includes is kept. Typically a case of severe C-preprocessor abuse, I would say, which probably could be solved in a much better way. This shows how the C-preprocessor is both a blessing and a curse: it fixes many problems, but often causes compilation to be slow, because huge intermediate representations are produced which have to be parsed by the compiler.
I was going to include this in the post but then forgot :) I live there, so I know, you are right.
For those not familiar with the term, FOD is "Foreign Object Damage" according to Wikipedia:

> The term FOD is used to describe both the foreign objects themselves, and any damage attributed to them.
Yeah at least it's not the newest product we have ever built
It's pretty much agreed on - the public acknowledgement of the conclusions by individual countries is plainly a game of politics.
I have both worked with and interviewed people in their 40s when I worked at a FAANG. Despite what's advertised by HR, culture tends to be org/team-dependent at bigger tech companies. I believe that you should be more concerned about culture fit which is something you can assess during the interview. If you decide to interview for an individual contributor position, I recommend that you brush up on algorithms. You can either target a company on LeetCode or go through a generic list of problems (here is the one I use https://theinterviewlist.com)
Another example is running SQL commands directly against a live database, which is frequently given as advice of something that should never be done.

So why should I get excited about the ability to live edit when it's held up as bad practice in one of the few areas it's possible.
Its even fairly common, one guys is reading checklists and the other is, you know, flying the airplane.
She's not wrong about the need to weigh against the risk.

She's just wrong about assessing the risk.
A is something I want to use in multiple files, like a method declaration, a type, a const or a preprocessor define.

B is a place that I want to use it, and it's tightly related to A.

Unfortunately, B belongs in a .c file.

But to use A in multiple places, it belongs in a .h file.

Crap, now these two very related things that I wanted to keep together lexically must now be split into separate files.

In this case, the author is making a super-simple example project. I'm happy they chose to forgo the standard C header/source file dance. It made it a lot easier to read and understand.

But yeah, the dance is required for "real" projects, as you've described.
or the size/bandwidth requirements of their apps :(
Why would one use such a exploit? - Using a postinstall script to do evil stuff is way more powerful and simpler to use. And thus more dangerous. If I want to hide something I put it in my libraries code (the user installed it, so at some point in time will `require` my code)

Depending on code loaded means you trust it.
TLDR; google provides computing resources for demo purposes for free, which can be exploited for non-intended use by clever automation
I think there is little evidence to suggest that neural networks and human minds behave in the same way modulo complexity.

In science there is a tendency to come up with models of the world - simplifications which we can observe and quantify - and then fall into the trap thinking that these models explain the world.

While neural networks are inspired by biological neural connections between synapses and neurons, the converse that neural networks are therefor intelligent does not hold.

There are multiple ones actually.

On prismo I haven't seen any work being done in a while (more than half a year according to the repo you linked :D). I think the dev got a bit discouraged after his instance had a data loss problem. It used to be at https://prismo.xyz but seems to be down.

One which is pretty active (development wise) is https://dev.lemmy.ml. But they don't have federation yet either.
Unison (https://www.unisonweb.org/) is a new programming language designed around a really neat idea that removes the necessity of builds. Unison’s core idea is that code is immutable and identified by its content. A function name can be changed with absolutely no recompilation nor risk to break another piece of code.
I don't think your reading of this is quite correct (or perhaps the implication that I'm incorrectly reading into it). The species didn't quite "disappear", as all of the ones claimed to have done so after the 1972 fire were able to be tracked during the 1980 fire... This suggests to me that they were repopulated according to the carrying capacity of the habitat (which itself recovered), either from areas outside of the study area or from the small populations that remained

Yes, this is my reading too. I didn't mean to imply that they became extinct, just that they were wiped out from the area by the fire.

At any rate, the centrally-trumpeted claims that these animals have already died based on habitat destruction is plainly false.

I don't understand what this means ("these animals have already died based on habitat destruction is plainly false")?

This study showed that the fires wiped out the animals under survey. If the same pattern is shown here we'd expect the majority of small mammals to be dead in the fire areas.
FWIW, timezone handling was added in v1.8 or v1.9. At this point I think Elixir has ported all features from Timex, except date parsing and date formatting.

Here's the EU critique:

https://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2015/11/26/lensing-by-refra...

The thing is there were mulitiple ways of interpreting phenomona & through certain cultural choices, a certain orthodoxy was created. The problem we are seeing with modern astrophysics is that in order to explain the working of the universe using only Gravity, theories require esoteric mathematics that are by nature not observable.

Instead of putting all of our eggs in one basket, we should look at each of the foundational assertions of modern cosmology with skeptism & reevaluate our positions, particularly when there are non-observable mathematical artifacts. We have better technology & instruments now. We don't need to double down on the same religious beliefs using ever more esoteric math that is increasingly not falsifiable...

From the definition of "pathological science". Looks more like it applies to the Standard Model from these points...

* The maximum effect that is observed is produced by a causative agent of barely detectable intensity, and the magnitude of the effect is substantially independent of the intensity of the cause.

* The effect is of a magnitude that remains close to the limit of detectability, or many measurements are necessary because of the very low statistical significance of the results.

* There are claims of great accuracy.

* Fantastic theories contrary to experience are suggested.

* Criticisms are met by ad hoc excuses.

* The ratio of supporters to critics rises and then falls gradually to oblivion.
Nah there isn't, I looked. There's Scala, but I don't have 5 years lying around to get up to speed on it.
Well if they don't release the black boxes or give Ukraine access to the wreckage it will tell a lot about the causes.

It's hard to hide in this day and age with everyone having a internet connected phone. There are already plenty of videos and photos showing the wreckage and the debris field.
After a whole comment dump of speculation, why the bloody hell is this comment of all things being downvoted?

Very surprisingly large number of Canadians by the way.
I know some basic commands and know it well enough to edit git commit messages and interactive rebase (`ddkP` is probably the most advanced command I know). But I've never thought "I prefer this over my regular editor this is amazing". I just don't get the satisfaction.

And of course I'd have to dive deep into the ecosystem in order to get the same benefits that my main editor provides out of the box, like idk, cmd+click to go to definition, or error reporting like squiggly red lines.
The original game code, as well as automatically installed updates can be vetted and compared to other installations. Any malware injected into either of them risks being exposed over time.

This allows the server to execute arbitrary, ephemeral code fragments on any client at any time, with no trace. If the server is ever compromised, so are all clients, instantly.

This is absolutely insane from a security POV. Just because I gave you a program once that you're using doesn't mean that you want to give me an SSH login to your machine.
You won't get what true "liveness" is until you work in Lisp or Smalltalk. The ability to change a function in a running program, without restarting it. Automatic reload might seem cool, but reload means your application restarts and loses state. Imagine you have some Web app and you open some menus/dialogs, perhaps it's connected to some server via WebSockets etc. and you find a bug somewhere, you go to the code to fix it, but reloading the page means you start from scratch and need to open again those menus/dialogs, and reconnect the sockets, in order to test your fix.

Common Lisp had true liveness for decades; it's almost mandated by the standard, it's designed in such a way that you can actually recompile a function, or even redefine objects, adding or removing properties or methods, at fucking runtime without restarting the application. Objects already instantiated will remain so and will be updated to reflect the change. You don't restart. That's the true "liveness", but seriously you don't get it until you try it, and once you get it you become depressed because you realize it doesn't really exist in any mainstream language.

JavaScript is some decades behind this dream, even with stuff like Webpack.
And so she'd be one of the 6K, and you'd waltz right through it, unscathed.

Sounds like it's her problem and not yours.

What do you care?
Perhaps, but you’d get similarly unsatisfactory reviews from any technology before you have learned how to use it. Criticism of how difficult it is to learn a technology is valid, but it’s not a valid criticism to say that a technology is not working well before you have learned how to use it.

On overall I agree that having a larger audience is better for WP.

But most WP users are quite passive, and unfortunately a very few are extraordinarily active, so the quality of the WP they patrol, depends heavily of their biases. As they are few, there is no natural moderation.

But having a quality article is not enough, it is also important to have quality articles on a reasonable range of topics, and this is not true for some WP (French WP for example)

The plane was delayed on takeoff so it was "off schedule". It can trick you into thinking it's an unknown plane.
If you use a media player/manager like this, where do you get your movies? Is there a online movie store that you can download in appropriate format? There was a place for this before good streaming services existed but how do you legally obtain movies and store them on a NAS to feed into JellyFin? Are people ripping their blurays? I ot out of watching all the latest and greatest movies 10 years ago where we would just torrent everything into a folder called /movies. Now it's just the odd Netflix series so I am interested to know how people manage their movie collections and how they acquire them.

The Smartphone Changed. Then It Changed Us
For better or worse, this has happened throughout the history of business. A new business model appears and it squeezes then replaces the existing model. Jobs are made redundant and profit margins get overturned.

The current trend in many digital platforms today is to simultaneously claim that they're benefitting those involved, whilst applying the squeeze. e.g. turning everyone into a contractor; drivers earning less and then replaced by automation; "tips" that are used to pay basic wages; delivery drivers having unobtainable schedules; and musicians having to conform to platform standards while receiving less royalties. So whilst I accept and agree that markets and business models change, ethics shouldn't.

It makes it worse that a lot of these platforms are driven by debt and so don't have to compete fairly with the current business model.
Ugh, ps|grep is unnecessary. Just use pgrep! Or even better, pkill -9 ;-)
Small correction: a Fibonacci heap has O(log n) amortised delete-min, otherwise you'd break the lower bound on comparison-based sorting (roughly: insert all elements, then delete the minimum n times, et voilà, you've sorted the input based solely on pairwise comparisons, therefore either insert or delete-min or both must take (amortised) logarithmic time).

But yeah, they're one of the classical examples of "faster on paper, slower in practice" algorithms. Just use a binary (or d-ary) heap.
The Ballmer Peak Is Real (2012)
OK, so you're still going, too. Neat.

The analogy to India and China is pretty good, aside from a few tiny differences, like the fact that most single males in the valley we're talking about intentionally came there from somewhere else, are hugely wealthy relative to poor Chinese and Indian workers, and that it's ever so slightly easier to cross a county line to somewhere less bizarre than Santa Clara than it is to emigrate out of India or China.

It's funny how I can post a ranty-but-true thing about how the world actually works (i.e. "having some table stakes attributes will not make you a 'pussy magnet'") and just get bombarded by people like you complaining about the dreaded ratio and philosopher1234 who clearly is wondering whether his girlfriend is about to leave him for a rock-climbing jazz musician who doesn't bathe or something.

All these dudes come flooding into an area to work in a dude-dominated industry and collect Big Valley Salaries and somehow this is a problem that needs to be worked out? If it's that big a problem, leave. Geez. How hard it that to figure out?
FWIW hot reloading React/Vue components come quite close to this.
The game is on disk, doesn't execute until I choose to, and only executes the code that is there, on disk, for me to see. Unless it has a front door like this built in, of course.

There is an interesting comparison to be made between most of the crap we use today that isn't serviceable and is proprietary. My favourite devices growing up were Gameboys, and an iPod nano which wasn't serviceable realistically. I have all of my Gameboys up to SP in a box, I can pop standardized batteries into them and play them with at least as good performance as 20 years ago. The Nano malfunctioned after about 4 or 5 years and despite it being the first thing I spent more than $100 of my own money on, stopped being useful. By contrast, here's the ifixit guide for replacing the lithium ion battery in a DS Lite.

and here's the battery that you can order for $15 on Nintendo's official store.

If you use webpack's hot reloading properly with something like React, then you get to keep your state - it's only the functions that get swapped out. So it's actually exactly what you describe, and it's brilliant - so much more productive. This isn't even all that new (in web dev terms) - I had this working probably four or five years ago now on a project.
A Topless, V-8-Powered Feast for the Senses
Without giving away too many details, I worked on a project that involved the first installation of this in the UK last year. It's so good in person - you'd expect so for the price - but the early unit we worked with was incredibly unreliable. Hopefully they've managed to iron out the (apparently heat-related) issues by now.
You already acknowledge that there is some oppression and tyranny in the USA, yes I'm very aware that China is much much worse. The equivalence I'm trying to make is the idea that the average citizen in both countries probably think "my government is not that bad". You're screaming that the Chinese have it much worse, and I was trying to draw the picture that an average Chinese would probably scream "North Koreans have it so much worse!".

The point is, you'd call that Chinese person brainwashed, since they are ignoring their government's oppression and tyranny. Guess what I'm trying to say? It's that at some level you also have been brainwashed. Yes China is a lot worse, but if you ask a Swede what they think about Americans thinking they have a good country, they'd probably laugh and say "Brainwashed fools!".

Yes the Uyghurs would prefer to live in the USA. Guess where a black person would prefer to live, if you tell them about the difference of police interaction in USA vs in Scandinavia? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd8ZTKU8csw

This is very specific to gaming though. The vast majority of people are never credited for anything. If that's the best justification for a union then it's not gonna happen.
It’s relatively simple to have live reloading of individual JavaScript modules in Webpack. If you change the text on a React button component, that module will be recompiled and its new version injected into your browser and re-rendered. The text on the button in your browser will change, but other state will not change (e.g. something in your Redux store).

I’m not an expert, but I think the way it works is that Webpack provides a way for JS modules to register callbacks for what should happen when Webpack detects changes in them and recompiles them. React then provides such a callback implementation for component modules that causes the individual component to re-render. Webpack’s development server also provides a way to inject new code into your app running in a browser.

Things get a little more complicated if you want to hot reload things that deal intimately with state, like Redux reducers or middleware. AFAIK people usually just have the browser do a full page reload when changes are detected in those modules. I think Webpack will actually automatically trigger a full page reload if it detects a change in a module which does not explicitly declare how hot module reloading should be handled.

I only mention React and Redux because it’s the only major stack I’m at all familiar with; I don’t know if other stacks provide similar functionality.
Problem is that there is no single word to mean "to shock or harm through electricity," thus "to electrocute" is used metonymically.

according to their website, they positioned as a dropbox-like cloud-service but with the on-device encryption.

- so it may be more private than dropbox, because cloud provider shouldn't be able to read your files on their servers

- you still need to pay this cloud service provider to store your data

Anytype is much more than file synchronisation tool.

- it gives users an ability to create their own apps without coding using simple building blocks

- allows to share those apps with your family, friends or teammates and collaborate together

- fully free when using your own disk space or self-hosted server

- It is P2P. This means that you can sync data in the same network much faster, even if you don't have an internet connection
The vast majority of gamers are running Windows, if you're running Windows you don't even own your OS. I think a game running some code on your machine is pretty low on the list of things you should worry about.
Does not being positive about the sort of self-help drivel everyone has seen a million times before equate to being "like Eastern Europe" (which is apparently based on old state propaganda in the guise of a joke)?
Firefox's killer feature was generating sync keys locally and letting you self-host a compatible sync host.

Chrome generates the sync keys on server and has proprietary sync software.

That's it. That's all it took for me to switch. I know FF eats almost double the CPU compared to Chrome. I know 1 out of every 10 webapps will just not work in it. That's fine. I will take the security and privacy over convenience.

Just buy a better CPU.
