The average size of these JS packages is much smaller than the Java packages. "Create React App" is not a Node.js app proper, even though it uses Node and NPM to build and run, the end result is a statically served package that gets deployed as HTML, CSS, and JS. CRA would be a front end app, and front end apps have completely different needs than Node.js backend apps.

My experience with Java projects is >1GB in RAM usage minimum (although it's been a couple years since I've written Java, so I don't know what improvements the JVM has made) whereas a Node app can run just fine on <100MB.

Again, conflating Node.js backend and JS front end apps is not a fair comparison to Java as a backend platform. Stick to apples and apples.

Node.js has quite a few standard libraries, although it's very common to use a framework like Express (and Express has been the top framework on Node.js since the earliest days of Node). The most difficult thing about going back to an older Node code base is that promises weren't officially supported, so there's often a 3rd party library for that or callbacks were used instead.

The main benefit of Node.js to me, remains the use of a single language across the front end and back end. You can often use the same libraries so you suffer very little context-switching penalty when bouncing back and forth.
"Pichai is just a smart guy who is genuinely worried about"

It's the CEO of one of the world's larges companies talking. What he says publicly is fundamentally corporate communications and 'part of this job', it's nary impossible to separate out his 'personal view'.

"Nobody is competing with Google or the large players on AI anyway, regulation or not." - this is quite upside down, there are tons of smaller AI players competing indirectly with Google.

When Google 'open sources' some research, it may benefit them and others, but put a slew of others out of business. It's not goodwill, it's mostly for profit. By wiping out the encroachment of adjacent industries entirely they keep their moat, and the surpluses in their core line of business. This is the logic behind open sourcing Android. If you think they're just 'nice' consider why they don't open source the rest of their software.
One thing I didn't see in the article was how a woman might be affected differently if she already had multiple children. My wife miscarried at about 12 weeks, but we already had a bunch of kids so she was basically like, "Oh well" and was fine the next day. But I imagine if it had been our first, or maybe second, that she would have been affected much differently.

I'm someone who generally thinks we need much more tolerance for regulation in the States, and even I'm not buying Pichai's stance.

CEOs of publicly-traded corporations do not act in good faith towards anyone but shareholders. We can debate whether or not they're morally obligated to (I would say yes), but realistically, they do not.

The only reason a hired CEO would push for regulation of his own industry besides wanting to stifle competition, would be if current (or upcoming) regulation was unpredictable and he wanted to reduce risk by getting a clear-cut answer. You maybe could make that argument around something like privacy where there's a mounting wave of public pressure. But at least right now, AI is in no such situation.
It does sound like a lovely and peaceful way to go. Although it was probably a bit traumatic to the audience since it quickly switched from "oh he's closing his eyes and taking a little moment" to suddenly they've laid him out on the floor and trying to revive him.

I think that was exactly what the parent comment was saying, except for pointing out that millions of people have gotten stuck there, and it's been getting worse for decades across the entire developed world. It's even worse in Japan, for example, than in the US, and the collapsing customs and institutions there mostly don't include religion.

Around the world, we're getting out from under religious and secular systems that were pretty good for the majority and quite bad for the minority, but so far we've failed dramatically at replacing them with something that is better for everyone. This is progress, but it's not enough.

I've heard a few stories where a person seemed to suddenly acknowledge that they were about to die. Granted, my grandmother repeatedly claimed she was going to die that night and the one time it was true the family lore became that she somehow knew. But to stop what you're doing like that, I wonder what it is they're actually feeling in the moment. Did he know he was going to die? Did he just feel dizzy? What do people feel in these moments just before death?
The person bringing up "but what about the other partner" in a thread about research into the effects on the woman giving birth was minimizing, the person you're commenting on is just calling them out on that. It's true that the partner suffers too but pointing it out in this context is not helpful.
How dare you use credentials as qualifiers around these parts? Lol, just kidding.
Well... Everyone is different, right? My wife took a hard hit, and it took her most of a year to recover, and then we tried again for 3 years, with no chance, and it was excruciating to see her down every fucking month.

Then, when we got pregnant again, and it sticked, she felt better, and it passed for her for good.

Meanwhile I was holding my breath for years. I'm still trying to recover from this loss, 7 years on. We have 2 beautiful, perfect, healthy twin girls. They're baby 2 and 3. We're so lucky with them... And they're quite the handful !...

But I still think almost daily of the little one we lost. It's still very, very painful to me. Therapy and EMDR help, but man...
Dubious about the "heart attack" diagnosis, at least as the phrase is usually understood. More likely "Sudden Cardiac Arrest"[1]: "In over half of the cases, however, sudden cardiac arrest occurs without prior symptoms." Like, the pump just stops. You'd feel faint and then be unconscious.

I've noticed this pattern emerge more than ever on the front page of reddit. The vast majority of generally public posts tend to be deeply negative, for example, from right now:

3. Father tackles son’s opponent after illegal move at high school wrestling match
4. Jaylen Brown murders LeBron
5. Puerto Rico fires two more officials after Hurricane Maria aid found unused ...
6. This is how a grown woman decided to act toward someone peacefully protesting a fur store
8. Joe Biden calls game developers "little creeps" who make titles that "teach you how to kill"
9. Breaktester gets what he deserves (/r/instantkarma)
11. Just another day in Texas (/r/idiotsincars)

More than half of the front page is about the "other side" losing, and this is on one of the most browsed websites on the Internet.

I have a rental property that is in an HOA and I rent it out. What are you inferring?
I fundamentally disagree with the idea that the system can somehow overcome poor implementation; guardrails can only do so much. At the end of the day you can set up almost any piece of software in a way that hinders rather than helps a user. At some point the organization needs to take some responsibility for that.

At any rate, this all started with a glib "garbage software" comment, so I suppose I should happy that you acknowledge that the implementation requirements set by the organization have at least something to do with overall user satisfaction.
Very nice quality — though it still sounds robotic a tad. There is no “breathing” breaks.

My ex had a miscarriage when we were together. We were young and I don’t think we handled it properly mentally. Kind of just pretended it didn’t happen and moved on.

She’s pregnant again and it seems to be going better, but I noticed she was very hesitant to tell anyone about it until she had to. Also seems to be very cautious about the whole thing. Not making preparations until she has to.

We are friends and still pretty close. Any tips on how to support her through this?
I somewhat agree with your statement but you should have explained further.

OpenBSD actively goes the extra mile in creating new security mitigations and ideas and the developers have always raised the difficulty of finding a 0day in the default install of OpenBSD. They are the creators of OpenSSH, kASLR, pledge(), W^X, etc and some of them are also the maintainers of LibreSSL.

You can still 'think' OpenBSD is more secure than FreeBSD, but I know it is still more secure.

Possible specs for the Nvidia RTX 3000 series leaked
freebsd has 'containers' called jails, first released in ~2000, pre-empting solaris zones by four years, openvz by 5 years, lxc by 8 years, and docker by 10+ years.

jails were/are common in the webhosting and gaming industries, and nowdays they can be managed with infrastructure-as-code tools like ansible or puppet. when backed by zfs, they can be made to behave very similarly to docker containers.

with the demise of docker the company and the fractured ecosystem of competing container runtimes, specifications, kernel compatibility issues, and management tools, jails are worth testing out. iocage is one way to start managing them.
Why is it worse? I live somewhere that has huge inflows of tourists (something like 5-10x the population every year), and it is has utterly ravaged the property market. It isn't just that ~5% of the housing stock has disappeared (population growing 5%+ year and in an old city making it very hard to build new places cheaply) but that remaining stock has been converted to garbage (we now have HMOs...used to be a 2 bedroom? Converted into a 6 bedroom...again, this is a small city of a few hundred thousand...HMOs, didn't exist until five years ago, now everywhere).

And yes, there are issues with the people who rent. I am not going to go into detail but I have lived in bad situations (above a homeless shelter, a policeman got shanked outside a place I used to live), it is genuinely unpleasant to have your place turn into a hotel around you. Part of this is negligent landlords (in any block of flats, AirBnb will lead to a build up of trash and abuse of common areas), part of this is unpleasant renters (I have had people ring my bell at 10pm asking for directions in broken English like I am a concierge) but the most obvious point is...why is this even a thing? These are houses. People live here. If you want to stay somewhere, stay in a hotel...that is why they exist (short-term letting in most places is a loophole to let people stay in houses for short to medium periods, not a few nights like a hotel).

And yes, there are issues with tax. In many places in the world, hotel rooms are taxed. AirBnb is not (this will vary, I believe some places have specific taxes that hotels pay directly, others have varying rates of VAT, etc.).

Unf, the local council has so many property-owners and people making money off this situation that I suspect nothing will be done. But, again, I live somewhere where this is huge, tourism has never been an issue (it is a huge part of the economy), and it is deeply unpopular. A lot of these landlords aren't local, they do nothing about the costs imposed on other residents...it is a cancer, it is like having a shitty landlord but you all have to live there. And btw, the place I live gets the same amount as vistors as always...AirBnb doesn't matter, no value is being created for the local economy, people don't come to stay in an AirBnb.

Rant over. Fk AirBnb.

This video about the problems with The Bell Curve (a book about IQ and other things) does a lot to explain a lot of the problems with IQ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBc7qBS1Ujo. The video is well-researched; I've been a long-time fan of the creator for putting out quality stuff.

>and it definitely has a large genetic component

There's a number of studies showing that IQ is "heritable", but this is different from saying it's genetic. The video above (around the 39:00 mark) and https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-psychology/cla... both get into this point. Wearing earrings is highly "heritable" despite being an arbitrary social custom, and having 10 fingers is not "heritable". It's also important to avoid falling into the conclusion that many people take about IQ that it being heritable means that educational efforts to improve it are worthless:

>Think about the relative heights of men in a poor village in an underdeveloped country 100 years ago. The average height for these malnourished men might be 5 feet 2 inches. The heritability in observed heights within this particular society can be quite high; men of tall fathers are on the average considerably taller than men of short fathers. However, this does not mean that a program of improved sanitation and nutrition could not significantly raise the average height of this group in a few generations.

Google probably loses out a good amount of bucks due to their stances on defence work. I don't see how this can be attributed to some sort of cynical corporate play, it's simply company culture.

Likewise, I don't see how a lot of these companies calling for facial recognition bans can be considered to be in their interest. When the government looks for large infrastructure those companies are the only real players. Remove all regulation, and the government still not hand their data to some sort of garage startup.

CEOs of large companies are totally able to act in good faith towards people other than their shareholders. Of course, often they do not, but they certainly can.

The arguments around caution and privacy of citizens are sound and reasonable. Everyone can make them. There is no reason to not listen to Pichai just because he runs a business.

I hear you, and am sorry you've had to experience this. My partner has had several losses and so far no successes, but she is now at about 7-8 weeks into her latest pregnancy. So far it seems the most promising we've had yet, but we go for a scan tomorrow, so we'll know more then.

For emotional coping/healing we've been most helped by unconventional practices like energy kinesiology, NET [1] and acupuncture.

It's outside of mainstream psychology/science, but it's worked well for us, to find understanding and maintain optimism.

I'm confident further use of these kinds of practices will keep us from suffering long-term PTSD-type effects, but I've no doubt we'll always be affected by the experience, particularly my partner.

Best wishes to you.

how do you use it? Just type and publish, that's it, though?
Specifically I meant that branching is less flexible. Bookmarks are better than Mercurial branches (and at FB it's what we use instead), but even with bookmarks there are gotchas compared to git. For example:

* Pushing them is (slightly) more annoying than pushing git branches — you need a separate command, whereas `git push` just does the right thing by default
* Deleting them doesn't delete the corresponding commits
* There is only one global namespace shared across all remotes
I'm sure you can find passages of the Bible to fit your narrative, but those lines are hardly representative of the majority of Christ's teachings. For the most part he was concerned with healing the sick, feeding the poor and showing love to the unloved. If you were going to pick someone from two millennia ago to become a spiritual leader to half the worlds population, you could have done a lot worse.

I don't know if you're familiar with FreeBSD's approach to backwards compatibility in general, or just making a general statement about monorepos. It doesn't seem like you're familiar with FreeBSD in practice; apologies if I guessed wrong.

FreeBSD has strong backwards compatibility at the shared library level, across all versions. Support for BSD 4.3 (as in, 1986, pre-FreeBSD) compatibility is slowly being phased out in 2019. Grep around for COMPAT_FREEBSD, for example. This compatibility (for existing stable releases) is by and large maintained in the development branch.

FreeBSD's also got a Linux syscall emulation layer, which implements (some of) the Linux kernel's (stable) ABI.

> The general answer in these case "rebuild", but it completely ignores binary-only software which exists in the real world and which is to a large extend completely ignored by commiters. At some point, you want to spend CPU cycle on something else than "rebuilding world".

That really isn't true. The point of the stable/ branches is the kernel KBI is stable for the lifetime of the branch.

> Also, there is de-facto no competition, short of a hard fork, in the software shipped.

Sure. But you can implement a patch and advocate for it against the existing implementation? Also, there is a lot of support for installing alternatives from ports. Doesn't seem that major of a gap.
