No one seems to be talking about the announcement at the end of the page:

Now we’re opening up Epic Online Services to all developers FOR FREE in a simple multiplatform SDK!

> Mix and match these services together with your own account services, platform accounts, or Epic Games accounts, which reach the world’s largest cross-platform social graph with over 350 million players and their 2.2 billion friend connections across half a billion devices.

Free SDK for online game services? That's an insane boon to any small studio / solo development of a multiplayer game.

python's never really been about dogma. part of why its package management is such a mess is because it's been so successful at integrating with everything under the sun and still needs to support it all.
My take is a little more nuanced. I believe this still needs to get approved back in the House. If this amendment had passed, the Patriot act renewal would have been more palatable when it gets there, and moderate democrats would have had a much harder time rejecting the bill there. I just can't imagine how the house could possibly pass the legislation that the Senate just approved.

In this context, it wasn't as critical of a vote. I wouldn't be surprised if Schumer allowed the vote to happen today while Sanders was absent to drum up some extra support for Biden.

Those are prospective astronauts. I would expect them to be even more tolerant of CO2 and claustrophobia than submariners.

These studies back up your claims. Thanks for sharing them. They were both done by the same people. Do you know if anyone else has tried to reproduce their results?

I hadn't seen that video. I wonder how much was just left as the background screens (out of focus backgrounds in closeup shots seem likely). It does make it clear that the ceiling screens were mostly just for lighting, as they don't photograph well from the low angles.

It was for was shot composition as well; the cinematographer could see how it would end up while shooting. The screens updated to match the camera position in real time (e.g. to show the rest of a spaceship whose door was a physical prop).
It's not just about the integrity. The url may very well provide what they claim to provide, so checksums would match, but it's the direct downloading and running of remote code that is terrifying.

This is pretty much like all the bash one-liners piping and executing a curl/wget download. I understand there are sandbox restrictions, but are the restrictions on a per dependency level, or on a program level?

If they are on a program level, they are essentially useless, since the first thing I'm going to do is break out of the sandbox to let my program do whatever it needs to do (read fs/network etc.). If it is on a per dependency level, then am I really expected to manage sandbox permissions for all of my projects dependencies?
using typescript makes it safer. also i believe we can trust the authors, because, they wrote node (or were heavily involved at the beginning)
One thing to note, is that using a PID namespace in that way is incorrect. PID1 in a PID namespace has to perform the duties normally performed by a PID1, so you will normally want PID1 in the namespace to be a minimal init. If not, there may be issues, like unreaped zombie processes.

If you add the third optional argument of "enter" when running the sha256.rb script you can use your keyboard to step through. I haven't set this up for the individual animations though.

ruby sha256.rb sizzzzlerz enter

I didn't do anything special for the terminal animation. I just work out the current state of the hash function at each step, clear the terminal, and print the entire state back to the screen. I know it looks like I'm directly manipulating each individual bit in your terminal, but really I'm just redrawing your screen.

I'd like to do something more practical in future, but for this I just did what I needed to do to get an animation working. Still, every bit you are seeing is correct.

I would rather have Clojurescript than Typescript, but absolutely, less is more, and it feels like a bad idea to tie implementation of this runtime to another dependency.

My love of the C++, Java, C#, ad nauseum, lineage of Enterprisey OOP languages turned to hate about 15 years ago, though, so take my assessment with a grain of salt.

“C with classes” seemed like a good idea, we were told back in the 80s in school, since garbage collection is impractical. Er, yeah. Worse is better...

Ah, you're right. I did judge the Reason project by the number of commits its main repo has seen in the past year.

But surely you'll agree that "fast development, fast running, fully type safe programming" has been achieved years ago, and any incremental improvements coming from the BS project are just that - incremental.
That’s not what we’re discussing though. We’re discussing if anti-cheat through obscurity works, and I’m saying if it did there would be no cheaters. Instead companies have to build technology solutions that also don’t work 100% but that’s beside the point.

As a functional developer who doesn't care for TypeScript in any way, it's frustrating to see Deno has it "built-in".

As a node developer writing pure none-compiled JavaScript, my run time is extremely fast from changing code to seeing its results. It takes milliseconds for me to run brand new code in my terminal.

If I make an index.ts file simply adding two numbers together (with no TypeScript), there is a 1 to 2 second delay while it "compiles" my "TypeScript". (Again I don't write TypeScript so I don't need this feature). I should note, subsequent runs will be faster, but as I'm developing I don't want delays between my runs.

Since it's not even native TypeScript, it's just embedded the tsc which builds and caches the compiled code, why not let TypeScript developers add their bundling pipeline in the same way as they've always done.

Anyway, I'm very interested in the fact it's built in Rust and seems to be faster than node after compilation in many aspects. Congratulations to the Deno guys and thanks for all the effort.

[edit] Correcting myself. I was wrong. As @jon889 informed me, you can actually run a `.js` file and it will skip compilation. Again I remain that the TypeScript compiler should not have been included, but the fact I don't have to use it completely mitigates my main concern.
Ok but there must be a code generation API. Presumably you'd need an app to access that API. How is access to that API controlled?

Thanks! That's good info. The hardest part was that in OTP 22 the examples given used many of the deprecated erl_* apis. I was able to update the C examples (see the second link) to use non-deprecated ei_* api calls. Mostly small changes and a bit better buffer management. Though, I don't like the lack of buffer length check in even the newer ei_encode_* functions. :/ I added a 24 byte padding guessing most single item encodes are less than that, and then check variable length items for size. Still hard to use safely without a buffer overrun. I'll take a look and see what else may have changed. It's exciting seeing all the continual beam improvements!
In practice modules will be available from sources that will have similar reliability to npm: github.com, unpkg.com, cdn.pika.dev, jspm.io, etc.
I imagine the intelligence community would try to interpret it as narrowly as possible, ie just the literal URLs you visited and terms you sent to Google.
What makes this stuff possible now though? New global illumination algorithms? Better scanning techniques? Or mostly better hardware?

I don't know how it compares to other games to be honest. If it's a big jump though, I'd be interested to know what's being done different and why it's being done now.
What we should do is one thing. Saying the government can make us do it is something else entirely.
The vote is on a plan to REQUIRE a warrant. If he'd voted, he would have voted YEA, to pass this bill requiring a warrant, because he does not want to increase the surveillance state (on that we agree!)

It's "yea" for requiring warrants, and "nay" for warrantless surveillance (which is somehow the law of the land now? When did I miss this??)

> ... Deno is (and always will be) a single executable file. Like a web browser, it knows how to fetch external code. In Deno, a single file can define arbitrarily complex behavior without any other tooling.

> ...

> Also like browsers, code is executed in a secure sandbox by default. Scripts cannot access the hard drive, open network connections, or make any other potentially malicious actions without permission. The browser provides APIs for accessing cameras and microphones, but users must first give permission. Deno provides analogous behaviour in the terminal. The above example will fail unless the --allow-net command-line flag is provided.

The Deno feature that seems to draw the most fire is dependency management. Some skeptics may be latching onto the first point without deeply considering the second.

Deno is just doing the same thing a browser does. Like a browser, there's nothing that JavaScript running on sandboxed Deno can do that a browser can't - in principle. So the security concerns seem a little over the top.

The one caveat is that once you open the sandbox on Deno, it appears you open it for all modules. But then again, that's what NPM users do all the time - by default.

As far as criticisms around module orchestration, ES modules take care of that as well. The dependency graph forms from local information without any extra file calling the shots.

This seems like an experiment worth trying at least.
I wonder this sometimes about bicycling— I'm fortunate enough to be able to commute by bike year-round, and to have a separate winter bike to ride in the snowy months. But the winter bike is a lot heavier and therefore more work to ride, so I'm sure I get more exercise riding it.

On the other hand, I also have more fun riding my summer bike and therefore ride it further and farther (eg, choosing it for errands above and beyond my commute). So I think the performance gain is still a win for my exercise regimen.
From Wired[1]:

"In another series of screenshots, the companies show how the apps will likely work when a user is diagnosed as Covid-19 positive. As Apple and Google had suggested earlier, they'll require users to enter a unique code provided by health care providers or a Covid-19 testing lab before allowing them to declare themselves as infected, since otherwise trolls or mistaken self-diagnoses could flood the system with false positives."

So although every state is different, Wisconsin isn't that different and its Supreme Court did not rule on the law and only on feelings.

I think you're misreading what happened here. The vote that failed would have required a warrant for something that does not require one today. It would have added a hurdle to law enforcement's access to user browsing histories.

Assuming Bernie would have voted YEA on this, we're all wondering why he didn't vote at all.

Which extensions? Especially now that Firefox has moved to WebExtensions, it should (in theory at least) be straightforward for someone to port them over.

Oh, I see my mistake now. I was getting this confused with the earlier story we had on the McConnell measure which is a separate amendment to allow for the warrentless searching of internet history explicitly. This seems to be another separate amendment in attempt to cut off the McConnell amendment.

Which then raises the question - how is it better than NPM?
If there are going to be centralized repositories (like NPM), and if I have to download my dependencies into a $DENO_DIR (like NPM), and if I am then loading these dependencies from local files (like NPM), how is it any different to NPM? Except for being less secure by default?

This is starting to look like a case of being different just so you can say you're different.
I do not speak for the project, but based on my understanding part of the point was to avoid the magic of npm.

You can use lock-files, bundles, and many other features that makes dependencies management easier.

Actually, this is an amendment on a bill to reauthorize expired warrantless surveillance programs, so a yes vote is a vote to make warrants for certain searches a condition for reauthorize broad authority for warrantless dragnet surveillance.

I suspect Bernie's abstention is because he thinks reauthorization is equally unacceptable with or without the condition.

Procedurally, he could vote yes on the amendment and still vote on the bill, and there's an argument that not doing so is making the perfect the enemy of the good (or at least the barely decent the enemy of the mildly less oppressive of two oppressive options), but it's kind of hard for me to get mad at Sanders for not collaborating in putting lipstick on this particular totalitarian pig of law. One can maybe rationalize the USA Patriot Act in the context of it's time, it's much harder to rationalize the USA Freedom Act’s deliberate after-the-fact authorization of much of the illegal blanket surveillance that went beyond what the original Patriot Act authorized, and it's far harder to rationalize the current reauthorization of the combination, with or without minor tweaks.
Doesn't look like the Wisconsin Supreme Court really ruled on that, according to its purpose in Wisconsin, if you read the article.

But it doesn't matter since overruling those kinds of courts is almost impossible, so yes if you wish for a court to overturn such an order that is what happened here!
There's a couple centuries of common law precedent that the government can compel behavior for public health crises. The state supreme court here grossly violated legal precedent, and will have its ass overturned in a heartbeat if anyone has the time, resources, and will to escalate.

So the Zoom feature is cool. It's made for task-oriented things, like an activity divided into small groups and the person organizing it is the organizer of the event. It's highly structured. The analog version of what zoom has is a breakout session at a corporate retreat. The organizer of the event is in control and you retain your groups.
