Yes and it's fantastic. Integration with React has a few quirks, but otherwise great.
It's not just a matter of non-blocking IO. core.async uses heavy-weight threads. Go-lang uses light-weight go-routines.

The JVM also would need to incorporate a lightweight process scheduler that can wait on I/O and schedule j-routines when I/O is blocked.
Even though Java is adopting some things which are easy to adopt, it's still a far cry from Scala. Records is probably the biggest thing to date and i havent used it much yet - but you'll still never get the fluidity of say the Scala collections in a Java compiler

You've got to look at it one level deeper. Why do you trust the guy who could sign using the original BTC?

That trust is built on 2 things. PGP is trusthworthy and BTC is worth listening to.

I replied to your other post, but it's embedded in "why is BTC worth listening to"?

BTC/Eth is trustworthy because fundamentally it is a self-contained math problem that can be self tested by anyone.

Today, there is no way to make video self-testable in a trustworthy fashion because you will always be asking "Who uploaded/created this?"

Plenty of middle schoolers can handle Reddit commenting just fine. I know I wasn't the only person in high school writing essays in Neovim with Pandoc. A friend and I would do our peer reviews in English by diffing our papers.

Markdown is incredibly straightforward. I'm quite sure it's easier to pick up than a word processor; you can explain all basic formatting on half a page instead of making kids watch a series of YouTube videos on now to use [whatever word processor is hip nowadays]. Programs like Pandoc make it easy to incrementally transition to LaTeX by inlining it in Markdown documents.

I'd say that ideally, teachers should "support" a few programs, but allow students to use any program that can conform to a reasonable style. Either that, or just have students paste their essay text into a box.
Nice! It is also worth mentioning that in addition to the work at Clark Atlanta University, Spelman, and Morehouse, there is Black leadership in computing at Georgia Tech. Charles Isbell is the Dean of the College of Computing and Ayanna Howard does robotics research there. It helps that many of the "100 black " people in machine learning referred to in the article reside in Atlanta.

I'm honestly taking advantage of the stock bounce-back we're experiencing right now to move some money back out into cash before things fall back down. The current uptick just feels ludicrous and probably short-lived.
Interesting that Lidl only recently made news about moves into the cloud computing area.

Reading the article "German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier, speaking in Berlin, described Gaia-X as a “moonshot” that would help reassert Europe’s technological sovereignty, and invited other countries and companies to join." It's not clear if this is limited to European based countries and companies only and if not, kinda moots the statement a bit.

Be interesting how this progresses and competition is good and some standards would also work well. Though I do fear that the usual company suspects will pile into this pie just because they have a European satellite office, like Amazon, Google, Microsoft.....

I hope this is an EU wide initiative and not just another FraGer based one for many reasons.

So many questions and could just be a tool to bash the Tech giants into opening up more.

Not all of it. Any bug attachments which don't have previews are served from https://github.com directly, for example.

Here, I uploaded that image from the other day that crashes some phones. I gzipped it so it wouldn't generate a preview, and attached it to a bug. When you click the "github.com" link, it downloads the file, and (at least with my web browser) uncompresses it and opens it with your default application. It's bit-for-bit the same as what I uploaded.

I worked on broadcast integration for years. With any serious broadcaster there is plenty of redundancy built-in and every equipment (that can be) is synchronized to a common timing source (black burst back then, tri-level and PTP today).

Since most (usually all) signals are easily routable any distruptions can be kept to a minimum. Upgrades and updates are always taking place, you won't notice when Master Control is upgrading it's playout system, since they route to the signal from the backup system (without a glitch since they are synced) while they perform the upgrade and testing.

Upgrades to equipment that isn't in 24/7 use is easier. You can upgrade equipment for a studio when it's not in use or the programs that usually use it will move temporarily to another studio or do outside broadcasts.

What Is Inheritance? (Object-Oriented Programming)
> Numerous reports detail a potential collapse of the commercial real estate market

While I'm happy to bail out workers, can we please simply bust out the overleveraged on assets for once?

Part of the reason why the economy has no resilience is that we keep bailing out the irresponsible so there is no incentive to be responsible. Why keep inventory and cash reserves when you can go into 3x debt and get bailed out? Why be responsible when your competitor is basically going to get loan forgiveness instead of going bankrupt and you being able to buy them?

How about some "trickle up"? Bail out the individuals who are basically unleveraged and let the leveraged compete to try to stay afloat or go bankrupt and release the assets to those less leveraged. The real estate doesn't suddenly lose it's value because the owner got busted out.

It's what capitalism is supposed to be--risks are supposed to get upside AND downside.
Here's the last of a great series of articles on that idea (with links to the earlier articles): https://asiatimes.com/2020/05/meet-the-father-of-the-hydroge...

There are several groups doing experiments with it, and it seems to be going really well.

There are two lasers. One hits a target that generates a magnetic field; it'd be hard to describe without a picture but see the articles at the first link. Basically the laser blasts electrons off a metal surface, they hit another surface and flow through a coil. For a nanosecond there's a 4000 tesla field. (An MRI machine generates around 3 tesla.)

The second laser is faster and more powerful: 10 petawatts or more, for only a picosecond. That hits the fuel. It's enough to kick off fusion by itself, but the magnetic containment creates an avalanche effect that multiplies output. Then it all blows up, you harvest the energy and cycle in another target.

Your post says that they’re not buying bonds because ETFs are a better option. That’s exactly true and ETF purchases are not the main goal of the facility. There is way more capital allocated towards primary and secondary bond purchases than there is for ETFs and they’ve stated that ETFs are last in their purchase waterfall.

Operationally, it’s much more difficult to get the bond purchases rolling because they have to get individual issuer certifications before making any purchases. This is a restriction created by Congress and had it not been in place, they would be buying bonds right now. They are likely going to make some modifications to the facility in order to streamline this process because it’s preventing them from achieving the main goal of it: buying bonds.

No. There is a word for maybe/perhaps which is "forse".

The difference is that "maybe" implied something is not known or can't be known or may or may not happen, as a matter of possiblity/probability.

"Ni" OTOH is a statement that the question has no definite answer. It's not just that either option can be true, but the question is I'll poses, or the problem is more nuanced etc.
I've been working with Clojure for a few years now, and the thing I love most about the language is how it nudges developers to write straightforward code. It's maybe closer to a well-structured procedural style than to highly indirect OO or to deeply polymorphic category-theory-inspired typed functional programming. The emphasis on mostly-first-order pure functions composed of other functions, receiving and returning immutable values, makes it easy to untangle even the worst balls of mud, while the well designed set of data-structures (few) and functions operating on them (many) allow for easy and terse expression of everyday data manipulation chores.

If we keep the majority of the code pure and straightforward, we can deal with state and I/O with other constructs, like atoms and records, only where we need to (doing this systematically tends to lead me to some variation of the functional-core/imperative-shell pattern).
STM, multimethods, macros and whatnot are cool and have their uses, but after a while I think the really cool thing is how little do we need to resort to fancy stuff and how much is accomplished with just functions and data.
In the past I have done this with Evernote, making a new note each day. Not too different except then I can access/edit the notes on mobile and search them easily. It can be helpful when done daily (even as a reference). Saying that, I enjoy vim so must take a closer look at vim wiki.

FYI: both Canada and the US have had transcontinental RF links. The repeaters slow down the transmission by about 30%.

However those were fairly low-bandwidth.
Reasonable seems valid. With the information they had, those New Yorkers reasoned that the police were doing a good job. Likewise if you were to bring them new information, they might reason that the police are doing a bad job. And there are also reasonable people who think the police are doing a bad job, they were just exposed to a different set of information and/or different values than the people who think the police are doing a good job.

And then on the extremes are the unreasonable people. Those who will support the police regardless of any negative change, and those who will oppose the police regardless of any positive change.
What you're talking about is effectively a type-hint. Clojure supports those like:

(defn get-row-by-id [^Number id] ...)
(defn get-row-by-user-name [^String s] ...)

There's also destructuring which both "extracts" local variables from data structures and serves as an informal documentation/description of the data shape.

You can combine type-hints and destructuring for a very powerful effect. Nowadays, I almost never have a problem "remembering" what or what shape of data I need to pass around.

They’re quite different for the purposes of this facility and really trading in general. As I mentioned a few times here, the Fed is requiring individual issuer certification for bond purchases. They have not had any issuers certify yet so they have not made any bond purchases.

Liquidity and convenience in the markets means I can trade in size with tight bid/ask and possibly don’t need to deal with a scumbag dealer on the phone/chat. Operationally to me means there is something that prevents me from trading at all.
It's definitely a business model to look into. And on primary highway routes, there would be some success.

The suburb I live in has about 50 gas stations for 200,000 people. I charge my BEV overnight at home and have spent at most $100 charging at paid stations in 3 years. (Charging at home is about 1/2 the cost of a charge station for me.)There is a major freeway through town, but the vast majority of traffic is commuters, who will likely also charge at home.

Some stations will successfully transition, and for sure, there will be solutions I can't imagine at this point. It will be interesting to see how it actually plays out.
The actor model is not performant with numerical computing since there are usually messaging overhead. And it might be more straightforward and use it in the typical ways instead of putting them in actors.

If it is worth learning, the really depending on what you want from this language. It was and it would be the most novel language in the mainstream industry - it has almost all the features developers can dream of, and most of the features are not arbitrarily piled together like C++, instead, there are synergies between features.

With that being said, it's still a hard language to learn. And programmers from different backgrounds wouldn't interpret it in the same way. In real-world codebases, if the teams are not very good at training and aligning, it would be too diverse.

All in all, it's not only a get-things-done technology like Go, but it's pretty educating and mind-blowing.

I think the primary issue with Google Domains here is not that they have these kinds of terms, but that they enforced them in a particularly incompetent way. The original report of the phishing site was over a week old and had already been resolved, when google shut down the domain. Hopefully the people at Cloudflare are a bit better at their jobs.
> The fact of the matter is, that half of German households cannot charge their vehicles at home, because they live in a rented apartment.

None of this sounds like a problem in a statically-typed system with proper data modelling. In fact for the complete refactor of the external source we would do something very similar to Clojure, i.e. update our decoders for the external data. In fact I'd argue it would be even easier because the compiler would help check all the data is accounted for.
The EU could build support for this 1000 different ways. They need only shake another GDPR-shaped stick that gently encourages business to buy local and the rest would be history. But they can't really do that yet, because there is no viable local market.

The fact that you're asking me a question like that illustrates that you haven't read anything that I've said.

Community self-defense is absolutely necessary, and I'm not taking the position that acts like murder should be shrugged off. No amount of healthcare and housing and social programs will completely eradicate anti-social behavior, and at the end of the day we need to maintain public safety.

My point, which has been echoed by the various links that I've shared (and the article (which you're commenting on (which you should read!))), is that the vast majority of public safety problems don't need to be solved by the police. Quoting an article, because explaining this repeatedly is getting exhausting:

> Part of our misunderstanding about the nature of policing is we keep imagining that we can turn police into social workers. That we can make them nice, friendly community outreach workers. But police are violence workers. That's what distinguishes them from all other government functions. ... They have the legal capacity to use violence in situations where the average citizen would be arrested.

> So when we turn a problem over to the police to manage, there will be violence, because those are ultimately the tools that they are most equipped to utilize: handcuffs, threats, guns, arrests. That's what really is at the root of policing. So if we don't want violence, we should try to figure out how to not get the police involved.

People experiencing mental health crises don't need cops, they need social workers. Someone with a broken tail light doesn't need a cop, they need someone who can quickly and safely replace their tail light.

There are a small number of situations where public safety might require violence, but police officers are over-armed and under-qualified for the vast majority of calls they show up to. Last year the most common 911 call in my city was for an "unwanted person" [0], which I understand to mean 'experiencing homelessness', where cops really can't do anything to help. I'm optimistic that our communities would be better served by less-armed and more-qualified professionals who can use tools other than violence.
