This is interesting. Can you ship the Deno runtime with your runtime code? That's the thing that kills me about Javascript; having to assume the consumer has a runtime setup.

That's not necessarily better. For one thing, it doesn't support Linux yet. For another, afaik, Azure DevOps is the only git hosting service that supports it.

Even if it was better supported, I wouldn't want to start using it just so I can include all my dependencies in git. Of course if you are using something like vfs for git anyway, then increasing the repo size is less of an issue. It still feels wrong to me though.
This type of data collection falls under the 3rd party rulings, i.e. your data is not protected by the 4th Amendment once it is given to a 3rd party. Not saying this is a good thing, just that this is the state of 4th Amendment interpretation.
EVs are a small step. They are focused on building factories that produce more battery capacity as quickly as possible. Giving away electricity does not help with this.
This is where it's very important for chartsmiths to acknowledge the extremely chaotic nature of the economy right now and its high degree of uncertainty. The IMF is just making stuff up right now. Nobody knows what the hell happens when you shut down the whole world for 2-6 months. One thing is apparent, is that our debt is growing faster than our economy. We may be approaching the limit of how much debt can be produced and still get returns on growth. This current situation has a lot in common with the Great Depression, but we weren't as over-leveraged in the 30s. Based on the world's total debt levels of $250 trillion with a pre-Covid economy of roughly $80 trillion...I'd say we're in for a world of hurt over the next decade or so.

Mozilla has to target the mass market or they won't survive. They certainly have to target people who, unlike you, care about performance more than anything else, since that's most of the market. You can argue it's hopeless but you can't expect them just to give up, nor should they.

Did we read the same article?

For instance, this quote from it, “Lockdowns are simply not sustainable for the amount of time that it will likely take to develop a vaccine.”

I don’t need an epidemiologist to tell me that. In fact, an epidemiologist can’t tell me that. But an economist or a psychologist could.

The article is about human reactions more than epidemiology.

The Chinese idiom 邯郸学步 is about learning to walk. It's based on a story about someone who hears of a place (Handan) where people have the most gracious way of walking. He wants to learn, so he goes there and tries to imitate the people of Handan. He fails to learn how they walk and, in the process, forgets his original way of walking. Then he runs out of money to fund his travels. Unable to walk, he is forced to crawl all the way back to his home town.

The US constitution bans government limitations on free speech because the people of the 1700s believed that the government was such a powerful force in society that it needed restrictions placed on it.

For me, the problem is death is final, while our experience of life is always changing.

Reminds me of that documentary I watched about a police officer that was working on that bridge, not sure which, in CA I believe, who have seen a lot of people jump and die. The few that survived (and who were badly hurt result of the jump) explained that as soon as they threw themselves in the void they immediately regretted doing it, and later on, in the hospital, with broken bones everywhere they were happy to have survived it and were pretty much cured of their death wish.

Life is so full of unexpected turns.

I think we _do_ blame the 37 Republicans, it's just that that's not a particularly new emotion to feel at this point. It's no secret that the GOP pulls this stuff (as, like you noted, with Collins).

Currently, though, Bernie (and Murray, who at least commented) have the image of not being present for what, even if only optically, feels like an incredibly important job. I've had to say this to a few people today: you can be equally annoyed with with the people who voted for it, the GOP who brought it, and those who weren't there to try and stop it to begin with.

Everyone on this forum knows what's at stake here, so it's frustrating to see the "one vote missing" here.

#NotAllWhitePeople is not a very useful line of rhetoric if the goal is to solve the problem of equity in opportunity.

It is a given and openly acknowledged that not all white people have the same chances. But it doesn't seem particularly accurate to assert that a difference in equity is insignificant between folks who only differ in race because of some pre-existing intra-race variance.

That was true before 1907 as well. While the pound sterling was reserve currency back then, WWI ended that. The combination of massive production and consumption of the US caused it to warn reserve currency contention, and then WWII dominance at Breton Woods cemented it.

Also, inflation was lower before the Fed existed than after it.

You definitely need to think carefully about friction for repeat users on this kind of thing, though... definitely Slack is a peculiar case because of their mind-numbing user model that leads you to having multiple accounts. but I do consulting and as a result frequently get added to other companies Slack workspaces. The deluge of "helpful" messages from Slackbot sent repeatedly in each workspace is absolutely maddening and is one of the big reasons behind my hating Slack.

You also see a similar thing with mobile apps that have a forced tutorial/onboarding intro.

Just keep in mind that every thing that you force users to do as part of onboarding is going to be annoying, and especially for users which onboard multiple times for whatever reason. Even just mobile apps repeating their first-use tutorial when you get a new phone is enough to drive a man to drink.

>> It's weird how the sense is community that existed on forums just doesn't exist on Reddit. You just don't have the same connection to the other posters that you would on tight knit forums. You might as well not even have usernames.

> I think a part of this is how forum members tend to populate avatar/signature/location/etc and the interface shows it prominently. On reddit you just see a username and occasionally some flair, so you rarely even realize that what you're reading was written by someone you've read from before.

I don't think that's it. I'd probably attribute the anonymity more to size and the deliberate lack of friction for someone to move between subreddits.

To get a sense of community, you need a space where you commonly interact with the same people over and over, not a fire hose of different ones.
When I read this the first question that comes to mind is where was Osterloh in green lighting the Pixel 4 if he wasn’t happy with the end result?

I’d think the head of hardware would have final say on proposed designs and progress. Either he approved, approved but didn’t get what he thought he approved, or was unaware. None of these reflect positively on his leadership or those immediately under him.

FWIW, the subinterpreter threading scheme will also use a similar message passing construct to pass values between interpreters. As the sibling comment mentions, it's just a message passing scheme.

I question that. Go read “The Panic of 1907” and I think you will question it as well.
In that scenario there also would be an investigation. It would find you left the stove burner on and you might be charged with arsen or similar. If we put tracing in place and if you left your house for no essential reason and without a mask and infect someone else and they die you get charged with manslaughter, that would certainly work. If we can overcome the practical problems and actually enforce this, I think it would be a great practice that I think would make all the freedom over community people happy as well. But is it realistic that we can do this in practice?
There is a native app for Pushbullet on Windows that you can install to add more features, and this is how the extension is able to communicate with it. I know there was a problem getting duplicate push notifications from the app and Chrome itself, and that was a way to remediate that.

Who says what counts as "no essential reason"? How do you know whether I infected anyone else? Not everyone without a mask is an asymptomatic COVID-19 carrier.

If you're basically arguing that the government needs to have invasive surveillance and micromanagement powers to ensure that every possible way someone might harm someone else is captured, then no, I don't agree.

I would call it: "They are essentially using the plain async conversions of regular system calls and Stream (e.g. known from Java/.Net) APIs"

All the reactive streams stuff still had been push streams, just with some backpressure bolted on. The issue was that without async/await, you always end up with some kind of callback model, which then again results in a push model.

Whereas with async/await you can just mostly model IO like any kind of synchronous IO.

As usual, when someone makes a move towards the Coveted Feature, people promptly insist that gradual progress is impossible and the only way is with every problem being solved at once in the hundred million modules—each somehow taking a year to undo the use of global variables. I.e. same as it was for the past twenty years when gradual progress could've been made. Deference is again made towards Numpy, the de-facto implementation of Python. No trace of choice is offered to users who would perhaps use a handful of modules from those that happen to be converted at a point in time, or use Python in ways that aren't practical now.

The actual problem, of course, is that multi-threading Python would still be slow, and those who see it as just a shell to run C modules, do have a point.

What Hating Jordan Peterson Tells You (About Yourself)
We Will Not Comply
I don't think "reset" was meant in the computer sense of "turn it off and on again".

I think the implication is that our financial indicators have outrun the actual state of the economy. We're resetting in the sense that we're forcing the indicators to match reality again.

To recover would mean the numbers would go back to where they were before, which isn't going to happen.
That’s a little different as it relates to political speech.

Prohibiting law enforcement/intelligence used in national defense is very different.
A Google doc is bits encoded onto Google’s property (its servers). A local Excel spreadsheet is bits encoded onto my property (my computer). The law treats them differently because they are totally different.

Yes, there is a bunch of fancy technology that makes it look and feel like the two things are the same. But why should a technological illusion trump physical reality? In reality, you can tell where the bits are and who owns the physical thing that the bits are on. The fourth amendment very neatly and cleanly delineates between the two scenarios based on who owns the relevant “papers and effects.”
I feel explicit location imports are a step backwards. Node ecosystem is moving toward workspaces and Yarn Plug'N'Play style manifest lookups for deps. The de-coupled import from where physically the dependency is being satisfied from seems desirable and it is a common next-level pattern in project and dependency management across language ecosystems.

Sure, I guess you could shim it somehow like is happening in the node ecosystem but then.. I'm not sure what the stock situation brings to the table TBH.

All of this is a huge part of the reason I love TDD. It's a checklist, and I've always got my next item, and my working state is by and large in the code. I can even code while VERY distracted (meetings, cough cough) and succeed (albeit slowly). It can help with the tangential issues; maybe I whip out a (failing) test, or maybe I just mantra "only fix this one test".
I'm honestly not opposed to the theory, though I think we both agree it is impractical.
I agree with you. Anyone talking about a recovery this year is delusional -- the IMF chart is really meant to show that... Even if things open up this quarter, it'll take until 2022 to get back to where we were before this all happened... And that's the best case scenario according to them.

I guess I'm just not in the demographic here, but I don't get all this food delivery that's going on. I think 5% of the articles here are about restaurant delivery. I can't believe this is such a big thing! Did you people eat at restaurants this much before the coronavirus? Why is it, all of a sudden, that the only way to eat is to get delivery from Chipotle?

I guess I was never much of a restaurant guy before all this stay-at-home, and ever since stay-at-home, I've gotten food delivered exactly zero times. It's not even something I'd consider, given that there is a global pandemic and I have no idea whether anyone in the pipeline between cook and driver is sick. Food delivery is the business I'd have predicted would go to 0% in a viral outbreak, but here we are with it flourishing. Totally astounding. Maybe I'm the only one surprised, I don't know.
