>>another (probably more invasive) species will rise to take it's place.

>Eventually, but evolution is slow.

While the evolution is indeed slow, I was trying to point out that there are other ways to introduce new species, that are not slow.

>problem that exists independently
yes, of course, but... if new species in small amounts are introduced to an ecosystem there is relatively high probability that they might not survive in that ecosystem.
Now if there was some void in that ecostystem, the chances of that new species could be higher since their competition was removed/reduced. This of course requires some kind of coincidence - when the species accidentally introduced to the ecosystem can take over the place of moths being reduced. Since there are so many variables I believe it is close to impossible to asses the probability of such coincidence. I assume that this probability is very close to "unlikely" but still non-zero.

One is multicore, but the other 7 winning have the same parallelism.
As for that one winning by parallelism - maybe it was just easier to provide a correct parallel solution in Rust than in C++? This game didn't appear there yesterday and C++ developers had much more time to play it. If that's the case, that benchmark still counts.
I can't help but relate the 'First they came ...' prose to the above. I don't really have much to say as I feel the erosion of freedom is clearly apparent and 'worse' than before by all definitions.

Yes, you are misunderstanding the logic. A normal web app doesn't need to be installed, disappears each time you close it, runs in a tight sandbox. Much better and lighter than have an app installed.

Besides, I do find fancy pens cringey, but that's another story :)
Signatures work perfectly well in the two usual cases: one, when the service is delivered properly and as expected, and two, when the service is not delivered as expected but no one disputes that both parties agreed to it.

Where they fall apart is where there's disagreement as to whether one party actually agreed to certain things, but that's not actually particularly common. Most court cases about contracts do not hinge on "did you actually agree to this whole contract?", they're about edge cases, or wording of the contract, or a clear breach that hasn't been dealt with yet.
Really depends on their priorities and customer base. We developed a react native android app and users seem to be happy with it. Would native be smoother? Maybe..
you act like whatever something is right now is the same in the future. It's quite possible they see RN as the future for all products and easing there way into things. Maybe they are struggling to find Java/Kotlin devs and have a surplus of Swift devs. So no, that does not really just say it all.

That document makes no mention about which groups are peaceful protestors and which are terrorists. So no one working solely from that list could make that judgement.

If it really was just a list of symbols for groups that might hold a peaceful but potentially disruptive protest then I would expect to see the Countryside Alliance or London Taxis Drivers Association on there... but they are not present.

My dad used to do this before I bought him a Mac. He’d had touch screen windows laptops since they first appeared on the market. I’d yell at him and say, don’t put your grubby fingers on my screen. Now that he has a Mac, he feels it is significantly superior to not touch the screen for this exact reason. The trackpad scrolling experience on a Mac more than makes up for it. I think no touch screens is a brilliant design wisdom that falls right in line with Apple’s design philosophy, if it becomes more of a differentiator in that Mac have clean screens, that’s good, subtle marketing. I have never heard someone who owns a Mac in the wild say, why doesn’t it have a touch screen?
Not everyone uses pip. Many data scientists use conda. Using you distribution's package manager is a legitimate solution.

The point is though, that this is a python packaging issue. Not an Alpine issue and not an issue that Alpine can do much about. As you linked, pypa have a big task to make packages work on every possible platform. Unfortunately, this comes as an unexpected surprise for anyone who wants to try out Alpine - maybe pip should show a warning when wheels aren't available because of musl.
React Native sounds like a mistimed bet now. Maybe 3-4 years ago, but at this time? There are a number of better alternatives.

I spent some time working on a RN project, and even though the whole idea of declarative interface, state update, etc is interesting, it is not exclusive of RN - and there is the whole rest of the story: RN libraries are a mess and usually buggy, there is virtually very little compatibility between native and web, and.. have anyone ever tried updating a RN codebase?

I remember we had to recreate the full project and copy the files manually because everything was broken beyond any hope, this after spending a full week trying to fix the build.

For Shopify seem that even a PWA could fit, and would be much more compatible, reliable, etc.

By the way, one of their justification is "in-house know-how", which I heard so many times before... This is usually how you justify crappy decisions by using inferior technology and then spending 2x the effort to try to fix it. I hope it doesn't happen with them, but it does like like that's the way they are heading to.
It's not difficult at all. First, you get the Protonmail account. Second, you set your Gmail acct to auto forward to your new account. Third, over a year or so, you taper off of Gmail or whatever.

I also exported all my old Gmail to my computer. I have never once opened that export other than to check it was legit.
any good tcl recipe book ? I'm curious on what non trivia tcl code should be organized
All this says to me is that they wanted to limit their risk exposure by doing an experiment on Android while maintaining native on iOS. Why is that hard to comprehend? Their move to RN this year should underscore the success of that experiment.

The market for food is not at all like the market for medicine. The main difference is that food is far more fungible than drugs are. If a patient is suffering an illness, there may be only one drug that will help, whereas if one needs calories, or vegetables, there are many more options.

Having said that, there is a reasonable argument to be made that the FDA and the patent situation stifles innovation and that most definitely should be looked at.

I've been using play music since it came out and I pay for youtube red or w,e it's currently branded. I can't deny that the reason I chose it is still valid: I can upload my music and stream it. I have obscure stuff that is not in any licensed streaming service and it's nice to be able to pull it up on any computer.

However, there are many severe issues.

* It crashes every single time the app is closed in iOS.

* The ability to edit metadata is missing in iOS.

* iOS integration is missing features that are present in apple music and spotify, such as appearing as a music player in all contexts relevant to the OS.

* Duplicate tracks show up everywhere.

* Playlists often do not update when changes are made to them.

* Playlists sometimes just go missing for a while.

* The web browser interface gets out of sync often.

* It is not clear when tracks are ones in your library or from google's licensed library.

* Uploaded tracks are often deduplicated without warning or notice, resulting in lightly modified tracks and rare releases to be replaced with licensed versions.

* Sometimes I cannot get things to upload without trying a dozen times across multiple days.

This is par for google and it is bar none the the worst software I choose to use.
It's not "more" overhead, just a different distribution of it. You can actually use erasure coding instead of conventional RAID once the lower-level blocks are protected by their own checksums.
>There are some cases where the relationship between insurers and patients is adversarial.

Well imagine your doctor gives you a Rx, you go to fill and the insurer tells the pharmacist to ask doctor to change it. If the doctor disagrees (for whatever reason) the insurer may drop your doctor from their network, then you will be stuck going to a doctor who does whatever the insurer asks.

If you feel there is no conflict there or that isn't adversarial that is fine...in my experience both patients who lose their doctor and the doctors themselves disagree.

It is a bit more than that.

They are also supporting React Native for macOS, and most of their teams that are in the C++ side of "C++ vs .NET" eternal politics seem to want to go with React Native for the managed layer.
If you are an EU citizen, you can ask the company for that data yourself and if they don't reply, file a complaint with privacy commission of your country.

The various privacy commissions (PC) in the EU are actually talking to each other. The privacy invading companies are testing whether or not they can force their case to be decided only in the jurisdiction of the PC in Ireland. (legally, this is just nonsense... )

I've seen many try this tactic and it has always failed. I'm guessing they are using this as a delay tactic to prevent it being decided by the courts.
It's about as fast as golang. It won't match the speed of a non-GC'd languages like C/C++/Rust (not that I'd expect any different).

> SpaceX's satellites will be able to sense and autonomously maneuver away from potential collisions, Musk has said. (This didn't happen when a Starlink satellite neared Europe's Aeolus Earth-observation satellite last September; Aeolus performed the evasive action. A paging-system bug prevented Starlink operators from learning that the collision probability had increased enough to warrant a maneuver, SpaceX representatives later said.)

So, the part about being able to autonomously perform evasive maneuvers is just a lie? If it isn't, why would a paging failure prevent an "autonomous" maneuver from occurring?
The reason musl is slower is largely because the project's goals are about being lightweight and correct first and foremost, and this can often come into conflict with performance optimization. Python isn't the issue here, but almost any Python program will be heavily affected by this because the Python interpreter does a lot of allocation.

Sure, but neither is the guy who asks for a new drug based on the 30 second ad he just saw.

If I go to my doctor and say "hey, for my condition XYZ I hear there's a new drug ABC, would that offer any benefits over what I'm on now?" that's one thing, but if I go in and say "hey give me that ABC" they'll correctly roll their eyes at me.
> don’t dwell On What you don’t want, but rather focus on what you do want and work to make it happen.

fastbeef makes a good point.

That said, be clear when communicating what you want.

A way to help frame discussion is to think of other work you could be doing that the organisation would find useful/important. If your boss or another manager is keen for you to start doing new work to solve the other problems, it can be easier to talk positively and get support for you to start doing the new activity and drop some of your existing responsibilities.
How the Internet Can Be Enormously Accelerated
There are levels to caring about speed, and this could easily cause issues at a level above what they should, being a fairly low level detail (memory allocations).

I work on a Python application where we don't care about memory allocations (we care about the number of database queries for example). Using musl may make memory allocations expensive enough (as they are 50% slower) that we may have to start paying attention to this in some areas of our code.
No. They botnets works through multiple regions on multiple cloud providers - that's how they achieve such high throughput. For any single IP address, the load is reasonable, but for the whole botnet it's absurd.

Currently bot traffic accounts for 2/3 of my load, meaning that the cost of providing my service is 3x what it would be without these persistent bots.
Correct.

At a small scale, it makes sense for people to appoint another person whom they trust to represent them in negotiation. But in a lot of cases, that's not how representatives are chosen. Particularly in corporations, the leadership of a corporation was not chosen by the employees to represent them, and in fact often doesn't even have the best interest of the employees in mind. A lot of the largest problems in our society arise from this fact.

Consider the case of a company that agrees to sell to a larger corporation, under the condition that they lay off half their workforce in advance of the sale. Surely we can agree that the laid-off workers were not fairly represented by the person signing the contract.

One could argue that the workers agreed to give up some of their rights in their employment contract, but I'd argue that they did so under duress: their option is sign the contract and work for the company, or starve and let their families starve. Sure, they can go work for another company, but other companies will require them to similarly sign away their rights.

This shouldn't be taken as a recommendation to blithely break contract law. Corporations don't have rights, but they do have power, and it would be unwise to behave as if they can't make your life miserable if you decide to cross them.
That happens as well on Debian if there are no wheels for your packages. It happens quite often when Python versions change.

I just run a multistage build where I first install all the packages, building wheels were necessary. Then I copy them to a new clean image from the first container. Another benefit is that I don't need to have a compiler installed in my final image. The Dockerfile is much cleaner than having one huge RUN which installs and then uninstalls build dependencies.

Sadly it’s my understanding that they plan to shut down google play music completely in favor of YouTube music at some point this year (at least according to a friend-of-a-friend who works on it). It’s already quite buggy and frustrating, but I still use it mainly because I am on the grandfathered $8/month plan and also get ad-free YouTube included.

That being said I went through my Google Play billing recently and realized I’ve spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on Google Play Music over the years. I don’t think I’ve listened to that much money’s worth of music considering the songs are about a dollar each to buy and I don’t add that many new songs every year.

Someone should build a tool that scans your streaming library on Google Play Music/Apple Music/Spotify or whatever and adds all of those tracks to an Amazon MP3 shopping cart to help you transition off the recurring service. I wouldn’t be surprised if something exists that does something similar using torrents.
side note: with potential sub 7nm semiconductor processes, a wide amount of sophisticated chips could run on small ~solar (say 1W)
Right, but it doesn't really optimize for their engineering team either since the only reason to use something like React Native is the ability to do both platforms at once.
I’ve watched plenty of prison TV shows and it would indeed be a far worse punishment for such a person and should very much be considered seriously by the courts in sentencing and bail hearings.

>> His lawyers said the time Sarao spent in jail in Britain was "unbearable" because of his autism, saying it amounted to "a torture of sensory stimulation, sleep deprivation and forced socialization," and that he became suicidal. They said they were concerned that Sarao may not be able to survive another stint behind bars.

His autism is clearly not on the mild side of the spectrum. He lives at home with his mom even as an adult and rarely leaves his room.

The courts are entirely capable of understanding this context, compared to say someone with a mild form of autism who can still be functionally social in forced situations. Not to mention when considering intent and motivation behind the crime (which a severe case of autism can no doubt play a role) during sentencing plus their willingness to accept fault.

But ultimately this person also returned $12M in funds me made from the loophole, was a first time offender with a stable future, and helped them catch other nefarious traders. So even without the autism stuff he had a very good argument against any prison time.
Excellent line of questioning.
Tcl was the first language that I really grokked. Before that, I had tried learning C, C++, and Perl in my spare time. Progress was made, but not enough that I was able to write anything that was actually useful on the command line, let alone a GUI.

Then someone suggested that I try Tcl/Tk. Literally within 2 hours of first hearing of the language I had a reasonably functional application running on my computer.

I do most things in Python these days since it is simply far and away more capable than Tcl but I still think it's an excellent language for a lot of things.

What separates someone from being 'good' in this role to 'great' ?
I have an older Surface with front and rear cameras and a pen. I can draw, annotate documents, and take photos just fine while using Windows 10. I can also use the whole universe of software available for Windows. Occasionally I might have to plug in a mouse or attach the keyboard/touchpad cover to use older software that isn't multitouch-friendly.

If Apple sold a device which was physically identical to an iPad but ran OSX (with some minor affordances to close the gaps between touch, pen, and mouse input- much as Microsoft has pursued in recent Windows iterations) I'd be ecstatic with it. I've considered trying a Modbook, but the price is a bit eye-watering.

Having access to a desktop-style OS would only add to the range of things you could do with smaller devices. Would it be harder to use than an iPad? Maybe.
