I think a big part of the point is to build a js runtime for existing js code and libraries.

Probably it will not replace node soon, but it is a possible outcome.

Also didn't luajit had the problem that it would never move to more recent version of lua? I remember that some years ago there was some talking about this.

This is definitely false. For all the problems with the NPM registry and the Node dependency situation, an NPM package at a specific version is not just at the whims of whatever happens to be at the other end of a URL at any given moment it's requested. This is a huge vulnerability that the Node/NPM world does not currently have.

I'm a paying customer (paid for 2 years upfront), and I only found out after paying that ProtonMail has an incredibly poor implementation of 2FA. All it supports is app-based authentication[1].

No support for U2F (FIDO) keys[2].

No support for sending SMS to phones.

In comparison, my Google account is protected with: (a) three distinct U2F FIDO keys that are stored safely in different countries, (b) three separate phones for SMS authentication (my phone, dad's pone, mom's phone), (c) lastly there's the authenticator app which I rarely use. This is so much more versatile and reassuring that ProtonMail's extremely-mininal 2FA implementation.

Also, ProtonMail has no excuse for not supporting SMS-based 2FA. They can send a SMS to your phone, when you setup a new account -- but for some reason can't do this for 2FA. Despite being a paid service, they trying to save on the SMS charges that SMS-based 2FA would incur?

Much of the erl_interface functionality prefixed with erl_ names has been deprecated since OTP 22 and has been removed. The API has shifted to newer ei_ prefixed functions. I believe there are some new deprecations in place as well which you can find the longer form release notes.

erl_interface itself is not going away but it is evolving with the BEAM VM. Deprecation warnings should be checked when compiling code on each major release to avoid surprises as features are usually deprecated for one release and then removed in the next release each year. The erl_interface documentation should be up to date with regards to new APIs and might be worth browsing again to get an idea of the what changes look like.

tl;dr The signal from a DVI cable can be detected but at much more reduced ranges. See also; RAGEMASTER (Snowden leak) a range extending implant for video cables.
Video-based lane occupancy detection is widely used by traffic lights, but it's rare for these cameras to be connected to anything other than a trigger module in the signal cabinet. It is conceptually possible to also connect these cameras to a remote monitoring system, but this comes at a very high cost. My city has been one of the stronger proponents of doing so but has only connected a very limited number of intersections due to the expense.
I like that Deno prefers URLs as module specifiers. Need immutable/content-addressed dependency graphs? Publish and consume modules via IPFS.
While this is a small dataset of tested individuals which may be proportionally representative to larger groups, it comes at odds with releasing PII with respect to individual privacy to see potential comorbities (old age, obesity, diabetes, lack of an auto-immune response, etc). We know that people with exposure to recycled airspace and live in close proximity are more likely to transmit covid to one another. Mask wearing and social distancing are actions that will have to be obeyed by everyone as a collective in order to work-- one may never know if they're an asymptomatic super-spreader without widespread testing. Cloth masks aren't for protecting yourself as much as they are everyone around you.

Within the data itself, it shows that quarantine and isolation are effective practices against spreading covid in a hotspot. This may be a good stop-gap measure while researchers are able to study it more, but government's responsibility at all levels of keeping people safe in returning to work has has greatly fallen short of expectations.
This looks really promising.

However, it still seems risky to me in case a library is not available. Is there a central repository planned? Or are you expected to vendor everything and ship your project with dependencies included?

I believe it does address part of your comments. At the very least:

"And then we have the ReasonML project that has seen even less activity recently"

You comment seemed to be based on the assumption that the Reason syntax is the sum total of the Reason project, and I provided examples that would adjust that frame of reference. See the high level goal I mentioned - bring fast development, fast running, fully type safe programming to the largest audience possible. Syntax is one important piece, but not everything, and it's not everything under the ReasonML project umbrella.
I think GrubHub’s partnership and tie-in with Yelp makes this a very apples-to-oranges comparison. Food delivery apps operate with or without the restaurant’s approval and aren’t able to reach into the restaurant’s pocket the way Yelp and GrubHub can (and boy do they).

Also this is anecdotal, but I’m way more likely to place a pickup order through GrubHub than any of the other apps (if they even offer that). I think it might have to do with the Yelp integration, and me associating that experience with in-person dining... so maybe I’m just naturally in a “find a place to physically go to” mode when browsing Yelp?

The takeout side of this business would obviously have no issues being profitable.

That is a fair point. I don't think most people who use npms really pay much attention, though, and you're still just an npm update away from getting something unexpected (because really, who puts explicit versions in package.json?).

I keep seeing reports that after an outbreak has played out about 25% of infected never show symptoms and 60% have something between a mild cold and a bad case of influenza. The remaining 15% get really sick and ~1% die.

If you just look at the stats initially you run into the problem that a lot of infected are preasymptomatic are in the early course of infection. So retrospective stats are very important.
For Deno the only issue is the first time when you do not have it cached. Deno compiles in all dependencies when building so the only point of failure is the machine you’re building on.

I don’t know the state of the art anymore, but I’m sure they have ways to make it easy to vendor deps in the repo.
The president must be at least planning on obstructing the bill, since the only reason they'd need 60 votes would be to overcome a veto.

If we treat the absences as very wimpy nay votes, and lump the 2 independents in with the party they caucus with (both Democrat), then the party breakdown looks like this:

Democrats: 35 yea, 12 nay, so ~75% in favor.
Republicans, 24 yea, 29 nay, so ~45% in favor.

The 59 yea votes consisted of 35 Democrats (King is independent but caucuses with the Democrats), and 24 Republicans. I'm much more interested in why it failed to pass, so I'll refrain from listing the yea votes for brevity.

The 4 absent senators were 2 Democrats (Sanders is independent but caucuses with the Democrats), and 2 Republicans:

PM on part of Cloudflare Workers and someone who was in physical attendance for this talk here.

They're not really directly comparable other than "A JavaScript runtime built on top of V8."

Workers doesn't support TS directly, though you can compile TS to JS and run it, of course. (My team maintains a worker and this is what we do, and it works well)

Deno has its own APIs, as does Workers. Worker's main API is the Service Worker API, Deno's is not.

Workers is focused on V8 isolates as a means of achieving multi-tenency. I don’t believe Deno does anything specific here.

Deno is mostly implemented in Rust, the Workers runtime is written in C++.

Deno is open source, Workers is not.

Workers is being used at scale in production, Deno just launched its 1.0.

I am very excited to see what happens with Deno. :) Fun history: I had been dreaming about doing "Chakra Core + Tokio" a few years back, but didn't find the time. I'm skeptical of the dependency approach Deno is taking, we'll see what happens!

The tldr is Deno also gives you a chance to download + inspect packages, and then lock dependencies. The mechanism for import is different, but the tooling is good.

> Why does the absolute population number matter in this case?

Because GDP and total potential tax revenue isn't proportional like you assume.

In Norway's case (5 million pop, $434 Billion GDP), that's $86,800 per person.

In the US' case (328 million pop, $20.5 Trillion GDP), that's $62,500 per person.

A small country with a couple very successful businesses can spread that total potential tax revenue further. Particularly if they don't pay much for their defense costs, but I digress.

In the US, we have a lot more people, and most of those aren't high earners and don't contribute much to the GDP nor tax revenue. It's estimated about 76 million Americans pay zero federal taxes[1].

The point was, at our scale, we'd be doubling our national budget to accomplish this any way you look at it.

That's going to require a lot more than just taxing the rich more. It's going to require a lot more than just taxing everyone more.

The scale of this is difficult to think about. People often point to the bloated military budget as something to pull from. Well, the projected 2021 budget for the entire DoD is $740 Billion. At the rate of spending we're discussing, that's just about only 2 months of this program... to the cost of having zero military.

All that for what purpose? Just to give some of it back every month? That would basically just be a "feel-good" program then... confiscate your money and give it right back to you in a government stipend.

I just don't see a realistic way to pull this sort of program off. Unless we take it down to something more reasonable like $100 a month... which would only be $15 Billion per month, $180 Billion per year. That's much more manageable... but what's $100 going to do realistically?

deno requires that you give the process explicitly which permissions it has. I think it's much better than praying that a package has not gone rough like with node. If you don't trust the remote script, run it without any permission and capture the output. Using multiple process with explicit permissions are much safer.
Please don't spread falsehoods. Bernie's vote wouldn't have mattered unless he voted in favor of the bill, in which case the bill would've passed.
