It's a nice approach to concurrency.

It doesn't guarantee parallelization. Concurrency is a precursor and a requirement for parallelization but it doesn't guarantee it.
Just anecdotally, I've noticed a high correlation between:

b) People who hate open-plan offices

c) People who can't imagine why anyone would ever have a different opinion than them on such topics

The amount of invention and technological achievement developed in and by the US I would guess be an order of magnitude higher (at least, maybe 3) then any amount intellectual property theft from other nations in the 17-1800s.

I would not guess this to be true of China nor likely to become true for a very long time at least.
In place kinda means the opposite of in swap space.
Ha ha, no one brave enough to take on C++.

Many years ago I worked on a C++ compiler, and this was during the C++03 days. The language and standard (now C++20) is // so much larger // than it was even 15-20 years ago.

I will say, however, that when I'm brave enough to peek into the clang code (I work up the courage maybe a couple times a year), at least for someone who understands the language, it's very clean. But it's big. Very big.
Indeed, these blog posts are recruiting devices.
>What I find truly puzzling -- given the supposed madness of crowds -- is that things are going so well.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi's optimism here of course belies an ignorance of the impact of technological advancement upon the global climate, which was odd considering he was alive for history's literal technological fulcrum, but I guess he can be forgiven due to having other worries at the time.
Thanks! I'm still looking for an analysis on how this would impact the Asia region in general, and China specifically. For example, from the paper, the net result export impact outside the US-Malaysia trade relationship would be a decline:

"Further, the export of Malaysia and the US to the world is expected to decline by 0.8 percent and
0.1 percent respectively."

But it doesn't break out "rest of world" into groups, so it's not clear what the impact to China would be, if any. To me, the implication is that without a corresponding drop in imports from China, the net result is zero. Unfortunately the tables at the end are garbled, so I can't see in Table 2 what the import impacts would be from their dataset.

No, most people who do it are just irrational.

If you were doing it rationally, sure, that would pretty nearly require what you say to be true, but assuming that everyone acts rationally is...inaccurate.

Is this statement actionable? It's hard enough to influence one's own country. How would one get the world to act?

But in the West, even if you just gave your business away to another person who continued to run it, we would still consider that the same business.
Only a minority of countries are doing that. It might work now because most cases are in China. If self-sustaining outbreaks run out of control in Thailand and Singapore, will travellers from there be blocked too? It quickly becomes a game of cat and mouse.

I can't fathom why slack is so slow, on MacOS i see a channel that is white, new messages await. I click it, and honest to God sometimes seconds pass while slack loads the _text_.

How can this be? How could my slack client with a 30 Mbps connection have received the signal that there was a new message but also not downloaded the few bytes of text as well. Maybe it did but a MacBook pro from 2018 takes seconds to render text? AOL or MSN didn't back in the day.
> fewer new antibiotics

So companies don’t do this, because there is no profit in it? Perhaps, that is the problem with late stage capitalism itself? Everyone wants to become a rent-seeking landlord.

What about a societal need? What about for the survival of the human race?

This is like arguing that humanity can’t muster up the ingenuity to solve something to save the human race, just because there’s no profit in it.

Necessity is the mother of all invention. If there are fewer antibiotics, then maybe this just means that it is not necessary.

In general, I think of these sorts of things in terms of "circle of concern" and "sphere of influence". I would like the to have the latter larger than the former.

Very few people, realistically, can exert much influence on corrupt government and progress of society towards capitalist fascism.

For those that can and do, I applaud them and wish we had more of them. Realistically, I know I won't quit my job and become Ralph Nader. Perhaps a tragedy of the commons, but it does seem to make most sense for most individuals to just cut out their concern, since they won't do anything anyway.

I totally agree, but on wikis of a smaller scale it's not a difference of performance, it's potentially being able to use some of these MW components for the first time. It could be 10x faster than Parsoid/JS and that's irrelevant compared to being _possible_ on a service that won't let you run Parsoid/JS.

I am a data engineer with a wide range of experiences developing data processing systems in startups, working with data scientists and occasionally doubling as one to make use of my Ph.D. training in science. The (very) early-stage startup environment has suited me well for my versatility, mostly based on the tech stack above and their adjacent technologies, but I am also interested in growing in other directions (e.g., maintaining truly large-scale systems, frontend, product).

I am also open to part-time/contract opportunities. I would be useful for adding more coding power to your team, developing microservices to be integrated into your existing systems, doing some Linux/AWS DevOps work to free up your team for something more exciting, just to name a few.

Please visit my website (https://okomestudio.net) above and contact me for more detail.

You're right, if the jews start getting gassed again we should attempt to understand Hitler's point of view so that we can claim that we're not falling into the trap of "they are bad and we are good".

I'm just going to say it now, you are a morally corrupt individual who is putting their own "intellectualism" in front of millions of lives. This is the political version of nihilism. That there is no act so atrocious that you shouldn't stop and try and consider the nuance in the moment. You're the person that will sit down and try and consider the nuance while your neighbors children are being raped in the background by some perpetrator.

The idea of stop the violence, worry about the nuance later flies over your intellectual head.
You’re delusional or a sociopath if you think working for Facebook is doing anything positive for society. Facebook has to be the single worst thing to happen to humanity so far in the 21st century.

I haven't used Riker, is it good?
I think the idea is that if you are privileged enough to have the time to be politically engaged, you are morally obligated to use that privilege to make society more just. Failing to do so is a moral failure. Note that this perspective could be equally applied regardless of other frames of reference, e.g. it could equally mean you feel obligated to advocate for UBI or lower taxes, whatever you think would make the biggest difference.
If you are that size, why not just use regular github?
I've heard this story a few times now, and every time I hear it I question it a little bit more.

Swedish has cognate "ulv" which is synonymous to "varg". It's not used much anymore, but I think it fell into disuse fairly recently. Reading fairy tales from 1800's and early 1900's you are bound to encounter it.

And alternate spelling "Ulf" is a top 50 first name in Sweden.

In summary I don't think a taboo is an explanation in this case.

EDIT: Oh and the word for werewolf is varulv.
Sure but you would't then advertise it as having been in the family for a thousand years.

Well, it does, because most likely the system webview is already loaded on ram. The problem of electron is that every single electron app uses a different instance of Chrome — webviews are shared, and unless you have no browsers/apps with webviews running, it can just share the memory already loaded.
If you are two people, regular github will serve you fine.
Christmas Truce
As part of "C lore", the answer is yes. In C89:

int main() {

func('a');

}

func(c)

char c;

{

char * s = &c;

printf("%c\n", * s);

}

is, um, dangerous. c is an int, not a char. So on a big endian machine, s may end up pointing to the high byte. Taking the address of a parameter is dangerous, unless the widening is taken into account.

This does work on a little endian machine (tried it). On a 68000, it likely doesn't print 'a' (\0 is most likely).

On little-endian, this is a lot safer. ANSI C takes care of
this as well. Yes, we can "debug it". There is a chance
that all knowledge of this is lost. But, for now, those of
us "in the know" have experience to keep the old alive.

My wife is from Canada so I spend a lot of time in BC. The effect of not being surrounded by American news is almost transformative. At my home in austin it can be 6am and "the president did this awful thing...there was a murder over here...the senate did this awful thing...there was a terrorist threat over there..." morning ews in canada is "a bear was spotted in the park and we are facing a syrup shortage."

TLDR: if you want to improve your well being, first recommendation is to start drinking a gallon of water per day. Second recommendation is to avoid the news, especially the political stuff.

In a small town in Israel, called Hod Hasharon there was a company named "Toga Networks".

This company was paying as twice as you currenly earn, if you work at Cisco or Juniper. Just like that, as twice as, just ocme work with us.

One year went by, and it turned out that Toga Network is no other than Huawei.

So I do not know about stealing source code, but I know they looked after its IP which is in people's mind.
1) it’s not true, and it becomes less true over time. Gravitational perturbations change the orbital planes of the debris.

2) It’s hard to get your head around the relative velocities you can get from orbital debris. A bullet travels at around 750 miles per hour. A satellite in low-earth orbit travels at 17,500 miles per hour. Orbital debris could impact a spacecraft at something like a cosine loss of that number, which depending on the exact inclination could be on the order of 10,000 miles per hour. So a factor of 15 faster than a bullet.

Shielding takes mass. Mass is expensive. It costs $5000/pound to launch mass into low earth orbit;

If "will this be usable in ten years?" is a concern, then you shouldn't be worried about your language choice. You should be worried about the services your program depends on.

Does your mobile app do anything useful if Google shuts down their authentication servers? What happens to your users if the App Store/Play Store decides to purge applications that don't actively support recent APIs? What happens when the Maven repositories your build depends on get shut down?

I would much rather figure out how to build a Rust program in ten years than try to recreate a web service that simply no longer exists.

While we're at it: All the "obscure" languages discussed here are FOSS. Finding an implementation will be relatively easy, and having access to the source means that things like binary compatibility issues can be worked around.

This is nothing like trying to resurrect a program written in an obscure proprietary dialect of Pascal that was only made available on a run of 200 floppy disks.

>Being able to make and break the human mind are two sides of the same coin.

Do you have reason to believe that this is true specifically for the mind? I can't think of any other scenario where you would need to be able to make something in order to break it.
But a program has to request access to any resource from the OS so that the kernel is able to enforce those rules. That's not a good analogy to how individuals and companies in an open society interact with government and each other.

Exactly. Like solar panels. It existed for decades, and languished in the labs, behind patent protections, until the patents expired. Then China came onto the scene, and innovated in mass production techniques to make it cheaper.

And now, solar energy just crossed a milestone, at 4 cents per kilowatt hour, making it competitive with other energy sectors.
Fake VC Fund – EDGE196 Setup to Steal Startup Founder Equity

He has done so to at least five separate companies.

I refused to get on FB for many years, until I was finally convinced to do it. I never did more than post funny pictures I found around the internet.

And then the next political cycle hit and I straight up quit. I found the political ads more offensive than anything, and I've never been back since.

FB is a terrible place, ignore the poster you're responding to because they very well could be putting on airs while you're trying to be more honest about things. That's the nature of social media, of which HN is included.

That would be wonderful. It would open a door that would never close back. And it does make sense, even business wise. Not as new profits for a company that's already making plenty on new fronts, but as a gesture contributing to entertain a legacy so immense, and rich, precisely because of the very presence of W7 in so many lives. And frankly, that has the potential to challenge the Linux BSD communities into becoming even better. MS should do it. Free W7 !!

Corporations exist at a state's sufferance. If a Chinese company wants to create an American subsidiary that's going to predictably going to break the law, the state can (and, in fact, is probably legally obligated to) just not grant them a business license.

Or, after the fact, when the state realizes what is happening, they can dissolve the subsidiary's business license—just like with the DMCA, where the state can require local DNS resolvers to not resolve the domains of foreign companies found to be breaking local laws.
