I'm guessing because we are going through a pandemic they might be taking more time than usual to apply fixes.
Mitigating Coronavirus Economic Effects and Finding New Business Opportunities
German resident here, our chief virologist that everyone listens to, Christian Drosten, was firmly against mask usage in the common population, until just now, the RKI was similarly unhelpful when communicating advice for the disease.

The population is completely confused and feel righteous anger now telling people off when they wear professional (medical disposable, or ffp3/n95) masks to go shopping or elsewhere. It's insane.
There are also caterpillars that eat plastic: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-00593-y
It's not the mass of plastic, but the surface area. Microplastics have very high surface area to mass ratio, so large numbers of microbes have access to them. I expect to see rotting plastics in my lifetime. But this isn't necessarily a disaster. Many uses (e.g. food packaging) are still possible with biodegradable plastics, and for critical things like medical equipment we have fluorinated plastics, which are very resistant to anything a microbe could do. For everything else we'll just have to revert to wood and metal. This will mean paying more attention to repair and maintenance, and less disposable products.

Yes, it should not matter 3 or 30, once you start to test the higher level/API then some classes don't need a separate test, because they are tested when being invoked by other tested code.

I absolutely hate to be that guy who links his own work, but I have seen my sales flatline in the past week and it's lead to me driving the price down of my app to the point where i'm thinking of just making it free for the exposure.

Please, if you could download, share & rate my app - If you'd like to try the app without paying, email me at adam@adamfallon.com and I will send you a promo code!

My app is a clever spin on a note taking app that gives you 7 workspaces, and your notes sync over iCloud to macOS, iPadOS & iOS. Think of it as Post-It notes for your Apple devices.

Edit: An update with search and keyboard Shortcuts for iPad & macOS is currently in review with Apple. In the meantime if you've any feature requests you can send them through the app :)
For what it’s worth you can just rename the github repo into another project and it will setup a redirect.

You can also add maintainers while it’s inside your namespace.
IINA is much more than mpv. Sure, it uses mpv underneath, but the selling point of IINA is a well thought out UI with just enough features but not too many (totally subjective, of course)
They’ve been pretty vocal about the fact that this has nothing to do with the pandemic.
This comment is exactly right, and is what I do whenever possible. However there are cases where a function may or may not need to copy a shared_pointer that was passed to it as an argument. In such cases, the extra refcount updates that would be incurred for passing by value are not useful but still incur a cost. So my usual practice is to copy a shared_ptr only at the point where ownership needs to be shared.

For logging, you can use unsafePerformIO. Of course, you would call it inside a special function that can do logging. In fact, there are functions in Debug.Trace that do exactly that (to standard output).

Similarly, I used unsafePerformIO (again put into a convenient function) to save a checkpoint data in a large computation. The computation is defined pure, but it calls the function to checkpoint, which does in fact IO under the covers.

Remember, type safety is there to help you. As long as the function performing the I/O doesn't affect the outcome of the computation, everything is safe.
Topic-Based Versioning
Snapshot testing is useful for catching regressions and nothing else. It’s better than nothing, and in some cases is the only thing you can do if you don’t properly understand what all the inputs and outputs of a system mean.

For example if working with a large legacy codebase, it’s important to maintain previous functionality and only change it if you can rationalize why. People and other systems might be relying on something that’s a bug, or a side effect that’s not obvious.

If you don’t do this, then you can either choose to have no tests, or have to tear down the whole system to understand it.

You're right. It's far safer to just download and run a binary you can't inspect than to execute a bash script you can inspect. Doubly so if there's a hash to guarantee the script/binary you downloaded is the one they intended. That means there aren't any nefarious things in it. ️

Alternately you could homebrew/apt-get some_package_ive_never_looked_at_the_source_of that'd be wicked safe.

It's a good question, and we should always question our assumptions.

Globals and Singleton avoidance stem from long-term experience. Their design tend to lead to write-only code: Because any part of the code can at any time access and modify them, globals quickly become distinct from your main program flow!

This property makes them more complex to reason about, while overall codebase complexity tend to increase as well. From a complexity standpoint, at some time globals become an untenable nightmare to develop further and maintain. Because of lack of foresight and design, you get stuck with too much scared code to properly refactor. The tunnel to clean up the "mess" will be long and dark. Bugs may also be introduced, making it tempting to rebuild everything from scratch, something with its own caveats and troubles. If you lacked design the first time, how sure are you to be able to hit the nail the second time? It's costly and doesn't benefit from an iterative approach with rapid feedback cycle.

For small scripts / one-offs, globals and singletons are OK. Good coders know they're there, how to remove them, and nobody else are going to build airport traffic controller software on top of them.

Btw, encapsulating globals/singletons with OO CRUD or REST, doesn't make them any less distasteful. You end up exporting complexity to all the different parts of the whole codebase, instead of encapsulating behaviour within its own domain.
There is supposed to be something at the back of the stove to prevent it from tipping over. Ours had a little device that surrounded one of the feet to do this. The installer said it was now required by law.

Can I visit the planet you -- and the three guys that voted my post down -- live on? Please?

Literally everywhere I go, and it's a lot of different organisations, there's people at every level and every job title unconditionally stating that the cloud is "cheaper".

They look at a cloud VM tier that is literally 3x more expensive per year than their current hardware and say that it is "cheaper" with a straight face.

They look at a SaaS that costs $1M per year while they're currently "burning" $200K in staffing costs to maintain an equivalent on-prem and say that they have to move to the cloud to save money.

They run VMs 24/7 with zero users and say that this is efficiency.

Nobody I've seen uses reserved instances or any similar cost-cutting measure, such as spot instances.

For fuck's sake, I just worked on a project to move users from one cloud service that cost $30/user/month to another cloud service that costs $100/user/month supposedly to... wait for... "save money".
Ooh, I really like the idea of this, but I kinda wish he broke Fortran into a whole family, with separate entries for each major version. There was a lot of cross-influence between Algol and Fortran, and while the original Fortran inspired Algol, Algol ended up as a massive influence on how Fortran developed later.
Most popular FOSS project do not follow this model at all.

Sure, you can see part of the communication and have an input channel, but unless you are part of the inner circle, or have some influence over it, you won't be able to see everything, weigh in, vote or determine anything.

Which is sane: the number of competent people is limited. The ones inside the circle can't spend their time fighting with the debate from outside. They have to get a way to filter information, take decision and act.

People stating differently have either never been part of a successful big project, or have been blind by the discourse that their project is, while in fact, there is an informal inner circle despite their institution stating otherwise.

It's like when you meet a "leaderless" group. If it's a small group, it works. If it's a big group, either it doesn't, or an informal hierarchy with leaders exist but nobody acknowledge it out of ignorance or idealism.
It's a good reason from Apple's perspective, they have all this "legacy" software not distributed through the App Store. A new processor means everything needs to be recompiled, meaning there's zero legacy software. A perfect opportunity to force everything through the App Store and collect rent.

That's why I asked for the Pro market specifically.
I’m genuinely curious as to what you’re asking. My background is in drivers (GPU), compilers, and I’m (currently) embedded in a HW group—I’m having a difficult time imagining why ARM would be at a disadvantage for compilation. I suppose older parts may not have had efficient byte-aligned memory fetch; or, perhaps you’re thinking of really old/low-power designs that aren’t out-of-order or superscalar?

Either way, the big parts have all the bells-and-whistles x86-64 does; maybe with a bit of an instruction fetch disadvantage (THUMB doesn’t quite make up for the lack of a high quality variable-length CISC).

Yeah, I wondered why, to access services only available over the VPN, I had to run a VPN client on the laptop and on the phone.

Okay, that does sound like a workable solution.
">There is a huge number of combinations possible, especially once keywords come into play. I don't think that's the limitation."

The mathematical limitation still remains even if you switch from 1-character symbols like '+' to verbose words like "plus()". You can attempt to invent a new programming language using longer keywords but you'll still run into contradictions of expressing concepts because there's always an implicit runtime assumption behind any syntax that hides the raw manipulation of 0s and 1s. If you didn't hide such assumptions (i.e. "abstractions"), then that means the 0s & 1s and NAND gates would be explicitly visible to the programmer at the syntax layer and that's unusable for non-trivial programs.

There's a reason why no credible computer science paper[0] has claimed to have invented the One Programming Language that can cover the full spectrum of tasks for all situations. It's not because computer scientists with PhDs over the last 50 years are collectively dumb. It's because it's not mathematically possible.

> I can respect musl's decision not to have sched_* do the wrong thing.

Particularly because this actually ensures that programs linked to musl are 100% portable (modulo bugs), rather than introducing subtle platform incompatibilities due to slightly differing platform semantics.
I wonder if, like with the 1918 pandemic, we'll find later that the first cases were somewhere other than China, but that place was better at keeping it under wraps.

I believe that you can make a new APN entry, copying the provided settings, without the second tethering-only APN, if you want, which gets around it too.

AFAICT the reason for this second APN is to allow providers to discriminate between phone-originated data and tethering for charging purposes. And they seem to have persuaded google not to allow people to edit it :/
The government shutting down during a crisis would be a disaster. If politicians want to risk their lives, for the betterment of all, then for once I say let them.

There's no really separate video memory on the original Mac, just the 21kb buffer that's updated by software.

> Open decision-making, in my experience, means contributors and significant stake-holders get to participate in decision making, not everybody and their uncle.

Everyone being able to participate isn't the same as everyone having identical influence. In my community, anyone and their uncle can chime in on discussions on our mailing list; and even to chime in on each and every single patch that's proposed. If what my uncle writes makes sense to people, he'll probably persuade people and have an influence. But if he's just expressing his personal preference, he won't gain much traction unless he becomes a regular contributor.
Maybe I'm out of the loop but I think the issues was that it was never made for consumer use.

I had plenty of uses for simple hands off first person recording. Sports and school events would have benefitted from video recording.

Seeing their enterprise use, I'm thinking other people had a similar idea.
The current/remaining issue is "Affected customers may experience delayed IAM modifications that surface across multiple Google Cloud Platform services." In simple terms, user login/auth is working fine, it's just modifications (new service accounts, access changes, etc) that are delayed.

GitHub’s privacy policy is exceptional. Particularly the section on sub-processors[1] where they list out every company, don’t have any sort of CYA language that covers others that might not be listed, and make a commitment to update that page every time the sub-processors or the sub-processor’s function changes.

Interesting, I hadn't considered that. Indeed, I haven't traveled a lot in my life, mostly because my parents are let's just say not that well off. Indeed, if I can, I'll try to do that after the COVID-19 pandemic is over, if, of course, I find the money necessary to do that somehow.

Thanks for your advice :)

Is GCP actually less reliable than AWS or Azure, or is that only HN effect where everything bad about Google gets voted to the top?

I'm hearing a lot of talk from my contacts about AWS just simply denying and hiding any outages until they're undeniably proven - so perhaps the issue is just the fact that GCP is too honest?
