>I don't get it. This just looks like async/await (submit/get) with extra steps. Why not just write

because altering the underlying thread pool can convert all existing code to fibers without syntax changes. This is the crux of "colored functions", two different signatures for async/non-async.

The implications for improving the performance of existing code are enormous. Most Java API's give you at least indirect control of the thread pool used. Which means they can be converted to fibers without updating the library.

In Java, executors are basically thread pools. If you can update the executor to use fibers the rest of the code is using fibers now. Your second example only converts a single call site to fibers. A thread pool could be used in hundreds of places.

In practice, this is a huge difference. I can update my Streams to use a fiber pool, and all across my app the hundreds/thousands of streams are using fibers now. Same story with REST and DB access. There's usually a single thread pool for each. A few lines of code to update the pools and my REST and DB calls are all using fibers.
They also have a lite version that uses system fonts, for whatever it is worth.
I just got a notification that I can call people from my personal Gmail account. I thought Meet is Gsuite only and Duo(which I use frequently) is for personal use. Which made complete sense, but now they again competing with themself. Given Google track record I'm not surprised.
> This is the same stuff that was said during Iraq War.

But the person you replied to isn't talking about that.

> That it was justified.

This is like the "they called [genius] wrong" argument. Lots of people claim things are justified. Some of them are wrong, some of them are right. You can't make a blanket judgement.

> Blocking information, just because it may be inaccurate, doesn't justify it. You then have a centralized power determining what information is accurate like the events that lead to the Iraq War.

That fiasco didn't happen because information was being blocked.
> But it was uninhabited before colonization

It was uninhabited before the French and Brits settled there, but soon the French and later the Brits were replaced with Spanish settlers. It had been a Spanish colony for decades before the British invaded and kicked the Spanish settlers out. Of course replacing the original inhabitants with you own works, it's the oldest trick in the book.

> the Falkland islanders themselves hated the idea.

Well apart from nationalism and resentment after the invasion joining Argentina is also a bad move in economic terms because it has a severe crisis every other decade.

I don't think you can ask them to join a country that does such a poor job managing itself and Argentina should focus on economic and legal stability before talking about it again.

It's not easy, just take a look at Hong Kong.
Well, I'm not just hand-waving (at least I don't think I am), I'm actually got burnt by this. I was building a demo of my app on top of libp2p, and then I discovered that I need to issue domain name and certificate for each node in my p2p network.

This wasn't hard – caddy2 makes it super easy. But I see it as a pretty weird requirement. I don't understand, why can't I sign some data with public key without being on secure origin.

> The only reason you can think of is a weird conspiracy?
I didn't mean to assume conspiracy theories, I agree that this is a pretty unprobable story. I'm just saying: "It's so weird that my only sound explanation is a weird conspiracy theory", meaning that I don't understand how this came to be, and motivation behind that :)
Maybe, but consider that security vulnerabilities have been found in SSH and `sudo` / `su`, several times the last few years (and they are not the only UNIX tools, it was just the noisiest news about such vulnerabilities).

Any new programming tech that avoids my SSHD letting anyone get in because of this or that is very welcome by me.

There's Sonic, which is a searching software, although not on the level of ElasticSearch. People are working hard to bring more safety to widely used technologies, every day, we just don't hear much about it.
How is recognizing Taiwan as a sovereign country that it is, saying that we are the ones calling the shots? The one China doctrine is a stupid attempt to save face. It's China throwing a tantrum. It's high time we stop putting up with such childish behavior, don't you think?

I don't think that's as hard as you make it out to be. Notably, Zig does not have a default allocator and its standard library is written accordingly, making it trivial to ensure the use of the appropriate allocation strategy for any given task, including using a debug allocator that tracks double-free and memory leaks.

Seeing the donations coming in (and making one myself) I was reminded that this sculpture is the reason I know about the event in the first place and, saw the significance of the help, and felt moved to donate. It made me think a lot about how public art and the things we commemorate with public art can have a tangible impact on our actions and our beliefs.

>The issue is that there is NO job today for that immigrant who doesn't speak English

Not sure where you live, but what you speak of does not match my experience.

Have you never worked in a kitchen in an American restaurant? Or in an agricultural field? Or in the cleaning services department of a facility?

I have had plenty of neighbors in apartments who did not speak English and also coworkers (when I was waiting tables) who did not speak English. They had jobs.

Latin Americans, who speak Spanish. In some cases they have families. And in some of those cases, their children do attend college.
I have not considered your idea of servers where users can create their own access-controlled groups [...]

One of the properties of traditional Usenet I don't like is that creating groups isn't a matter of minutes, but a matter of days or weeks. If we want an NNTP-based alternative to blogs, twitter and reddit, we can't have that. Instead, a user should just get control of a namespace managed by the server he's registered with.

Also note, you could have multiple interfaces if wanted: HTML, RSS, email [...]

That's a very important part of the equation: The server should auto-generate HTML pages and RSS feeds for the messages to allow seemless integration into the WWW. Let the power user use their news reader, but don't deny access to the 'layperson'.
Depends on what you like in terms of "great weather." They're both pretty hot and humid in the summer. (Not as bad as some places but...) So long as you're OK with that sort of weather though, they're two pretty nice areas.

The right middleground solution would be that countries who can pay should pay and those who cannot can get a license to produce the vaccine domestically without the right to sell it domestically or internationally. Basically socialism on a country level. I’d expect countries like Germany to pay a big price for the vaccine since they can afford it and the research must be funded by the rich, right? Less wealthy nations can get a free license to produce the vaccine domestically without paying. So everyone gets access AND the research gets funded and incentivised.

EDIT:

I expected this to get downvoted. Everyone loves socialism unless they belong to the richer group which is expected to settle the bill.

The hypocrisy is just staggering. Nobody has pushed or send help to countries struggling with SARS, MERS or Ebola. People are still dying from those viruses today. Nobody is pushing for groundbreaking changes to climate change so that we don't kill the people of tomorrow. Just some worthless PR bs agreemetns drafted at some bs EU meetings where countries agree to set low targets, still fail to meet them and just pay small fines for it to wash their hands and feel good about destroying our planet. But as soon as there's a threat to these old fat elites right now then all of a sudden they have a vetted interest in doing the right thing for themselves cough sorry I mean obviously the greater good of humanity in true PR language.

Humans are selfish pricks. The sooner one realises and accepts that as a fact, the sooner one can live in harmony in this world.

Yes completely agree. It's hard to get a firm grip on just how deeply unequitable society is today, and how little the big tech corps contribute in taxes.

Corporatocracy is probably the more accurate term, but the term neofeudalism isn't exactly a huge stretch. The only real difference today is that at least in theory a serf can become a lord, but the same power dynamic remains.
When chattel slavery ended many of the freed slaves became sharecroppers, bound to the land by eternal debts that could never be repaid. Although they were no longer legally bound to their "masters", for many their lives were not really any better.

Although in principle the monopolies and the government are separate institutions, we all know that the reality is that our politicians are bought out by the corporations, and the regulators are staffed by ex-employees of the very companies they are supposed to be regulating. We used to bust monopolies, but since the 70s or so the regulators have become very lax, and practically every industry has become more consolidated than it's ever been (finance, advertising, airlines, utilities, telecom, agriculture, healthcare, etc).

What's interesting to me is that whenever Google/Facebook does something authoritarian that would seem to violate some principle of liberty we deem sacred (eg. censorship, violating freedom of speech), many if not most of the comments seem to rationalize the corporation's decision as exercising their own free speech. But when you're Reddit with 430M monthly active users, your userbase is the population equivalent of the world's 3rd largest country, and so you're effectively the equivalent of a nation-state. When you're Amazon with 750k employees, then your employees could fill up a city.

Does the principle of democracy only apply to country's governments, or does it also extend to corporate monopolies?" [1]

They’re suspending accounts on YouTube and pulling videos, just like they’re doing with apps on their Play Store. They can’t moderate the podcasts posted but they can moderate the apps and videos posted. So of course it’s internally consistent.

The real question is whether it should be consistently upheld without exceptions and the answer to that is obviously “no” because some apps are hubs to user curated content like that podcast app is.

As for your comment about them suspending their entire YouTube app, you talk as if this was a management exec decision rather than rouge judgement that will inevitably get overturned.

Google isn’t a single entity. It’s a collection of people and algorithms all making their own judgements based on Google’s policies. Sometimes they miss stuff they should moderate and sometimes they get overzealous and remove content they shouldn’t. There is such a large grey area and scope for personal judgement that you have to expect some unpopular verdicts from time to time. It’s shit but no two situations are identical so it’s a problem that’s impossible to avoid. The real tell is whether Google reverse the decision once the complaint gets escalated.

Great idea. I'd thought of something similar but never got around to it. You can maybe explore Role/Team/Company (ex:Brand Manager/Consumer Product/FMCG company)as title description so somebody searching for either of those finds you.

There's some logic to detect if the data is already sorted or reverse sorted, but I think that's only triggered at the very beginning and not at every recursion level. If the data is almost sorted it seems to become a little bit faster. Take a look at the appendix of the paper where there are timings for various distributions.

There's also some logic to handle the case where there are a lot of equal elements which also results in faster performance than the completely random case.

In the era of Windows 7 and before. Maybe Windows 8 - don't remember when it changed, BUT someone at Microsoft considered localization a premium feature of Windows Ultimate. What a "great" idea.

End result in our small country? Understand you English or not, but that was the version on majority of PCs sold on retail stores and used at home. The other part of the issue is techies don't love localized Windows here. But even if it did, it costs you money no-one will be spending to switch that language for their Mom/Dad/Uncle/... or myself.

Luckily Windows lets you set Country or region apps should use. Don't know if browser takes data from that setting or not.

Some of the statements about population density in this article contradict the information presented in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b... unless you use a very specific definition of "city".

The article calls SF the country's second densest city. It's not even the second densest city with population over 75k. It's the second densest city not in a larger city's metro area, and the gaps to NYC in both size and density are huge. NYC has 900% more population at 60% greater density.

There are certainly many things that NY did wrong, but I think that the impact of extreme clustering on in-cluster viral spread is too readily ignored, and the opening of this article doesn't help that. There's a lot of very interesting coverage in the rest of the article though, and you should still read it anyway. Just maybe salt the first few pages and then read the rest of it while saying "I salted the first few pages" like Murray would.
> > asking a web browser app to remove references to all the websites and social media posts

> Except usually a web browser doesn't include a index of sites, You go to a another site (Google/Bing) for that.

OK then, it is like asking a search/video/advertising company to remove all such references from its search, and hosted videos, and other properties, and banning their apps & services until they do.

I don't see the youtube app being banned for all the C19 rubbish they are currently hosting and indexing. Or the Google news app for the C19 rubish it is indexing and actively pushing to some people (depending on what the relevant sacred algorithm, hallowed be its name, decides who should see).

What they appear to be expecting Podcast Addict to do is exactly what they themselves have said they can't do. Either it is not possible (this is the case IMO) in which case it is not fair to expect it of PcA, or it is possible and Google are hypocrites of the highest order in this matter.

EDIT: after reading the rest of TFA...

Even worse "additionally, Google isn’t applying these same rules to its own podcast app – Google Podcasts" - we don't even need to argue service equivalence to show that as hypocritical.

Of course this is most likely to be an undesirable side effect of some automated system. I'll give Google that benefit of the doubt if they reinstate PcA immediately and apologise for their cock-up.
Nobody is proposing doing away with rent. They are proposing to pay landlords for what the landlords provide (some flexibility, maintenance, etc.) and to stop paying them for what they don’t provide (an area worth living in, nearby parks/subways, local job opportunities, restaurants, etc.)

A more accurate portrayal of the situation is to say that Ireland of the time was a state whose economy depended on the export of premium food products - cattle, dairy & grain - whilst the majority of the population were subsistence tenant farmers who grew that produce in order to pay for their farm tenancies, whilst growing a side crop of potatoes in order to sustain themselves. When the potato blight occurred, they were still expected to pay their farm rents using the produce they produced despite this leaving them without a food crop for their own sustenance. Despite what's believed from the common narrative, most of the landlords, middlemen and exporters facilitating the trade and export of food from Ireland at this time were Irish, and many were Catholics; and they were operating within an economic system were these actions made sense. As they would have seen it, stopping the export of food stuffs would have caused economic collapse.

In a modern state with well developed central government, the state would have been able to step in and take appropriate actions. But governments of the 1840s simply didn't have the scope of action available to a modern government, or the necessary vision of their role to accompany that. The result was a tragedy of truly enormous proportions, and which certainly more could have been done to avoid; but to suggest that it was simply due to 'systematic oppression' is to greatly simplify the divisions that existed within Irish society at the time, or the motivations of those involved.
