Hey, I'm the tech lead of Workers. I don't want to intrude too much on this thread, but just wanted to say: we don't do any special load-balancing for Workers requests; they are treated the same as any other Cloudflare request. We use Anycast routing (where all our datacenters advertise the same IP addresses), which has a lot of benefits, but occasionally produces weird routes. Often this relates to specific ISPs having unusual routing logic that, for whatever reason, doesn't choose the shortest route. We put a lot of effort into tracking these down and fixing them (if the ISP is willing to cooperate). We do sometimes re-route a fraction of traffic away from an overloaded datacenter by having it stop advertising some IPs, but if the internet is working as it should, that traffic should end up going to the next-closest datacenter, not around the world. When you see requests going around the world, feel free to file a support request and tell us about your ISP so we can try to track down the problem and fix it.

That is very much how the hologram printer works! You take many images, each from a slightly different perspective (maybe every 1 degree), and the hologram synthesizes them into the full 3D image.

The other cool part is the holograms can have motion as a result.

So as you move the hologram back and forth is will move!
We could easily turn the pumps off. The issue is the Saudis aren’t doing that, for geopolitical reasons.
I agree with the thrust of your argument but its actually still totally a social and economic problem and not a problem of technology.
First covid19 demonstrates how much of education and work can take place from the home without the need of rushhour style transport.

Second your examples of gates and musk are actually examples of the general failure of governments and markets to use existing technologies. Nuclear power, Hydro electric, ocean power, traditional solar ; all of these are existing technologies that dont need innovation what they need is the economic and social Will to construct. Musks EVs ; very expensive direct replacements for existing vehicles to me indicates something very wrong in the approach to solving climate change.

The problem is one of Coordination. The sclerosis of western society and our focus on individual incentive prevents anything but the most marginal of improvements.

A great example can be seen here in Ontario. Here the government subsidized private individuals to put up their own solar on their homes. Electric prices soared. The result is basically a wealth transfer from poor to rich with very little gained. Again there is some similarity here to the Tesla EV. Not that solar makes much sense in Canada but i am sure the government could have done much better to have run this project itself.
I'm pretty sure WSJ would be suing Internet Archive right now if that link actually constituted piracy.
great literate reference, but the forgone conclusion of who wins is only in poetic terms.. you do not know, and no one else does either.. this is reality, and reality has mass, cause-and-effect, luck and providence.. your words amount to armchair resignation -- I take a different path.
In windows just press the windows key and then type the name off the app you want (same as command spacebar in macOS)

This frustrated me to no end. I'm pretty sure the newest MacBook Pros have the exact same camera on my previous 2011 MacBook Pro (and likely earlier). I don't care all that much about resolution...just make the image quality better and work better in low light.
What do you mean by "require freshly pumped oil"? The contract is for a commodity at a certain price at some time in the future. There might some quality requirements but other than that nobody cares whether it comes from storage or is freshly pumped. It is beneficial for the buyer that the seller has ample storage because it means less risk that the seller defaults on the contract.

As far as buying/renting stuff, I live in an apartment and my apartment even closed their gym and offices because of the virus.

For food shortages, there's definitely food issues here. Here are some pictures of the shelves Friday night https://imgur.com/gallery/gczEiFt, I've been going 1-2x a day since and it's just worse each time I go. Groceries all have restricted hours now too. Opening around 6-8am and closing at 10-11:30pm where some were previously 24/7.

Monday on the way to work at 7am (+/- 10 minutes) I drove by 4 stores and all of the parking lots were packed already. Monday evening I stood in line at the grocery for 25 minutes at self checkout to buy a hand basket of stuff with every single staffed register open (which I have NEVER seen).

I have a few months worth of basic staples that I could live on but it's getting hard just to replace what I'm eating daily due to people panic-buying. I can't find potatoes (my daily lunch), I can't find oats (my daily breakfast), there are usually a dozen bunches of bananas or less each time I go to the store and I only buy 2 to leave some for others and I eat them for breakfast and an evening snack, frozen kale (breakfast) has been sold out since Saturday (I bought the last package, a package lasts me 2 days) and even during normal times fresh kale is frequently out of stock, I usually have beans and corn for dinner while beans are in short supply, rice is in very short supply, bread basically doesn't exist, flour basically doesn't exist, toilet paper has been sold out since Friday, all from people panic buying.

9 more cases were confirmed in Indiana today taking us to 39 which I've already heard had people flocking to groceries so I'm not even going to bother stopping tonight.

If people would just calm down the food situation would go away.

>Consider delaying the wedding,

Unfortunately this isn't an option. We can't live together unmarried due to our religious beliefs and we picked our current date because her teaching yer ends the week leading up to it. We're still working on getting everything we need for our temple sealing (if it is even still open by then, it is for now basically only for weddings) so at best we could only try moving it up once we have the necessary paperwork signed and then it would be get married and she'd have to get in the car and head right back to Missouri. We can't push it back (much) because she'd either have to stay in Missouri until a teaching year starts here (if she finds a job now that schools are shut down) or we'd have to find her temporary housing and hemorrhage money on 2 places.
> It also eliminated an entire class of UX issues with regard to application stability, OS compatibility, and over the air updates.

Did it? Web applications are not inherently more (or less) stable than native applications, and OS compatibility issues were replaced with browser compatibility issues.
I have the very first-gen Retina Macbook Pro 15-inch back in 2012. Still work almost perfectly to this date.

The only problem is battery degradation (70%) and in reality it lasts <2 hours. But since I use it at home as a desktop, not a problem at all!
why not the pro for a few more hundred dollars? or wait for the upgraded version in the summer? you get a noticeable performance boost, dedicated graphics card, touch bar, and so on?
You get used to it. But it's worse. But you get used to it. I would go back.

This is far worse than 2008. The market is crashing 1-2 times more rapidly (points/day) than it did during the great depression.

There have been rumors floating around that the economy was basically running on fumes. The yield curve was heavily inverted and the 7 year cyclical recession cycle was skipped.

Life is about to get really hard in the US and will likely continue to be so after the virus - and even that will probably drag on for 2-6 months. Get ready for Soviet Union style living. Bank runs are probably coming soon. This is unprecedented - both the virus and the rate at which the market is crashing.

Edit: even CNN is warning about triggering bank runs!

Hi, this is a very cool product and I am planning a project that I think could use it.

The question I have tho: How do you take advantage of the gains from this if you still need one master strictly consistent db for writes?

Would a system design pattern to take advantage of fly.io be to have read only replicas on each geographic deploy or to only have region specific persistance? Apologies if this was already answered I read thru everything I saw. Thanks!
You can still do WPF/Windows Forms with C# if you wish just as you would in VB. Drag and drop and double click to write code, all that good stuff.

Probably better to just go web-based nowadays though for the instant portability of targeting all of desktop/mobile/tablet all in one go unless you have a reason not to

Most of my friends--who aren't in tech, but are still better off than many--are now without jobs; soon they will not be able to afford food; if you are living paycheck to paycheck, you are already pretty screwed right now... like, I am seeing people begging for jobs on Facebook right now, so they can eat. If you are incapable of even having the discussion about whether 2% of people dying is better or worse than 25% of people going hungry for months, how can you make any claims about suffering? Our economy is unjust and unfair, but likening the existence of all of these jobs with some abstract number is "dangerously stupid" and kind of indicates you don't actually care at all about "human suffering". :/

I see. Since you made a top-level comment, it seems you're commenting about the article itself. If you're replying to comments, I suggest you use the reply functionality and it all becomes a little bit clearer for everyone.

I, for one, also like the comments here as they expand and dive into more topics that again, "some of us" have not read/heard about before so grateful for that.
I had the first five generations of Surface Pros. I agree that they can be your main computer. They have compromises but overall they work fine. For example, they don't have the computational power as the top end MacBook Pros but they are extremely portable and have a touch screen. I eventually went back to MacOS for work. My Macbook Pro is a great companion to my iPad Pro. I use both 50/50 depending on the scenario. For travel, I can leave the Macbook and access it if I need to via Jump on the iPad. Otherwise, everything is in the cloud either Apple's or Google's and the iPad works just fine. The major win for the iPad is battery life and note taking abilities in meetings. The new iPad keyboard with trackpad is a no brainer upgrade for me.

Also, Sidecar works amazingly well. I have found myself using the iPad as a second monitor more and more often. It is seamless and hasn't crashed yet. I recently took both Macbook and iPad on a trip and was loving the second screen. And for Logic Pro X, the iPad can act as a remote to control instruments or settings with indiscernible latency.

When I was in high school, I had social anxiety and a tendency to isolate myself. I was also seeing a psychologist at the time. One summer, my mom and I decided (with professional blessing) that I would get a “point” for every activity I did with my friends. It worked, and was actually a big turning point for me personally. If nothing else, it became a way for us to talk about anxiety in a way that removed some of the pressure I was putting on myself and turned it into a game: I wasn’t failing as a person any more, I was just playing a game.

Please be careful about dismissing an idea so absolutely. Everyone is different. Sometimes crutches do help.
Looks nice, but I won't invest another dime until I can launch all my macOS app on it.
Good point - although I wonder - can they do that in the timeframe they need the money on (I have no idea on how long it takes to issue stock)?

They're implying that they've come up with something new, which is a lie. That's not perfect.

There's some more detail to this. There was kind of a gray area between WW2 and the end of the Bretton Woods arrangement in 1971. After 1971, the Federal Reserve Note could no longer be converted into gold by other countries' central banks.

The average citizen, after the 1930s when the gold standard was abandoned (and for a time, private gold ownership was literally outlawed and people were obligated to turn all their gold in) could not go to a bank and say "give me my $ worth of gold" but other countries could. Between the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and that, though, one could actually redeem a Federal Reserve Note for gold.

Now the US dollar's value is assessed by comparing it to a basket of other nations' currencies and dollar foreign policy sometimes favors a cheaper dollar. An analogous situation happened with the Swiss franc when the Swiss central bank deliberately devalued it to make Swiss exports more affordable and attractive to buy again.

In 1980, the Hunt Brothers cornered the commodities market for silver by buying up billions of dollars of it and "artificially" pumping the price up over 50$/oz. This is a good example of where metallism (backing a currency with a commodity like gold or silver or both) can fail as long as the commodity itself can also be traded. It would be quite difficult to do the same to the gold market though since silver has many more industrial uses.

The currency of a nation is only as good as the government that issues it, which in a democratic form of government means constant vigilance by voting citizens over the stewards of it.

I dunno, there are plenty of slices of the programming world where you can quite profitably work in a single language for most or even all of your career. If you specialized in Java twenty years ago, you'd have skills that are still in demand today and will likely still be in demand twenty years from now (as long as you keep current with changes to the platform).

But betting your career on a single language is definitely a big bet. And any bettor will tell you one of the key skills is knowing when to cut your losses.
It'll take decades to "fix" housing policy through upzoning and waiting for the existing population of homeowners to shrink (freeing up housing stock). I don't disagree that there are challenges due to the status quo, but remote work is a fix that can be implemented today and can help lift the wages of folks who might not otherwise be able to have those roles.

You're not going to be able to change property rights in the US, so the problem may be unfixable to be frank, and those property rights are what keeps property values high.

For Intel chips i3/i5/i7 have generally represented feature ranges, so to really identify the chip you have to find out their product code or at least processor generation. Once you have that you can use ARK to distinguish between them. Here's an example of an older 2017 era desktop processor of i5 and i7: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?pro...

Complicating things recently is the introduction of the Xeon W and i9 lines, but for the most part the Xeon ones have yet more a new features and i9 are higher core counts to compete with AMD.

In broad strokes in the laptop space the majority of enhancements since 2013 I would say is higher RAM capacity (that Apple as a manufacturer has not to pursue compared to Lenovo, etc.), still yet lower overall power consumption to improve battery life, DDR3 to DDR4 ram, bigger L1/L2/L3 caches, and normal improvements to embedded graphics to support bigger onboard and external displays, and PCI-E enhancements for drives as NVMe-style drives are what I would consider the new standard.

Yes, /bin is a directory where the bind[1] command can be used to multiplex/union other directories on top. The / directory in general is built this way as a virtual top directory, with the disk root being stored on /root and being bound over /.

Platform-specific files are stored in /$architecture and binaries in /$architecture/bin. Shell scripts are stored in /rc/bin. For the home directory, traditionally, this style is reversed so your shell scripts would be in $home/bin/rc.

The namespace for any process can be enumerated, so in my default shell, I can see which directories are currently bound (and how) on /bin:

tenshi% ns | grep 'bind' | grep '/bin'
bind /amd64/bin /bin
bind -a /rc/bin /bin
bind -b /usr/seh/bin/rc /bin
bind -b /usr/seh/bin/amd64 /bin
bind -a /sys/go/bin /bin
bind -a /usr/seh/go/bin /bin

>Above all else: do whatever it takes to keep sober, you're doing great, KEEP THAT SHIT UP.

Thanks. I'm mostly at a point where I can swat away any urge to drink just by getting up and moving around for a few minutes or fiddling with something like a deck of cards (I've found just shuffling/bridging a deck is really 'zen') or a puzzle to occupy my mind, but from like 15ish to 33/34 last year it was my primary comping mechanism as it was my father's and his father's so I'm largely in uncharted waters here with what healthy coping mechanisms are.
Doesn't help much given how water's heat of evaporation is.
The only lesson from Europe so far is that no matter how much money you throw at the problem, the market is going to respond with another steep sell-off –— because that's what the US is already doing; without success.
The yield of a bond is inversely related to the price you pay for the bond. The prices are going up, thus the yield is going down.

To be clear: the price you pay to buy a bond is going up while the price you pay to buy a share of stock is going down. It is exactly how you expected, you were just looking at the wrong number.
> for example, in RPis, the GPU is actually the main processor

Can you clarify what you mean by this statement? It doesn't really fit well with my understanding of the RPI design, other than the fact that it's a SoC and the GPU and CPU are on the same chip.

It'll be interesting to know how will WeWork fare, because this is exactly their nightmare scenario. They are leveraged to the hilt. Their clients can now bail out of contracts on very short notice, which I'm sure they are doing already en mass. WeWork however is on the hook for the long term and they have to pay rental on any property they do not own. Meanwhile, the price of property they do own will be going down, depending on how long the crisis lasts. This can very quickly run into issues on servicing anything they bought on debt and spiral into a liquidity crisis.

Lox makes a distinction between functions and methods, so you won't run into this problem. This is unlike JavaScript, but like most other object-oriented languages.

If you take a function (which may be a reference to a method) and store it in a field on some instance, the function remembers its original bindings to "this" and "super", which is generally what you want and expect.

Lox doesn't allow you to mutate a class by adding new methods to it.

Just started working on RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and the tool we primarily use is UIPath. Ironically it's built on VB.Net and requires VB syntax if you want to do anything mildly complex.

Not sure why they went that route, but I've ran into several issues when using REST services and other functionality that would be easy to get done in C#, but are time consuming and painful with VB.NET.
It doesn't even take that much. Docker Desktop on MacOS is widely known to be terrible and have extremely poor performance. Running webpack-dev-server with filewatching through Docker nearly grinds my 2017 Macbook Pro to a halt. Obviously most node/webpack/JS stuff can run natively on Mac but it's not uncommon to see dev stacks that dockerize everything because that's how the production stack works.
Right, you can do that stuff with modern tools, but there's just not nearly as much demand for it these days.

And back when there was demand for it, VB was among the best tools available to do that job.
