With the genetic drawing method linked, you could start with the current frame, and add brush strokes to the regions that are different to make it more like the next frame. That way things that aren't changing would stay still and not flicker.

> Metaprogramming doesn't need to have a performance impact.

Optimising away the performance impact of most of the metaprogramming features I mentioned there requires truly heroic optimisations, beyond what has ever been used for any other language.

Some of them are even worse - I'm not sure there any way to optimise away the non-local effects of Proc#binding, which allows you to access local variables not lexically referenced.
Tackling this point separately: the entire reason they do this is because they routinely experiment with side projects and then build the ideas that work well into the services that gain traction. As much as it comes with the drawback of being scattershot in general, it specifically creates a track record for failure with messaging because successful messaging products, as a rule, have network effect - something you can't build when you're playing with three different approaches simultaneously.

For an example of where this works really well, look at how all of their adaptive UI efforts feed into each other:

* The enhancements to multiwindow that were built for foldables became Android's desktop mode, to the point that it was built specifically as a test environment and now underpins DeX etc

* Desktop mode's only hardware requirement is a display output, suggesting in addition that Android apps as a whole are no longer bound to specific 1:1 relationships of UI and form factor. (This is, imo, a much bigger deal than we're making it out to be, and opens up possibilities ranging from hybrid game consoles to mobile content creation to better takes at mobile-powered VR.)

* The existence of a base OS implementation and the fact that it's controlled by the system launcher, a component the user can rip and replace, pretty much ensures that custom ROM communities are already toying with this

* Android supports PWAs - installable, natively-scalable webapps - meaning that when desktop mode inevitably stops being feature-flagged there will be examples of convergent apps that work on day 1

* Desktop support for Android apps enhances those same apps when used on ChromeOS

* Flutter, the toolkit built for Fuchsia - an OS designed from the ground up with this sort of scalability in mind - is capable of targeting all of the above

Recently, I had an idea (which is somewhat stupid and makes me think I am rather lazy) to switch window context between two monitors using my eyes. Mainly because, right now, most of my workflow is from my keyboard, but to switch windows, I have to make either a weird hand twisting shortcut or use the mouse.

I haven't yet found such a solution but I do wonder how hard it would be build such a thing.
I mean, the answer is just, more tests. If you choose a dynamic language over a compiled one, then you've in essence chosen to eliminate type definitions in code and replace them with type verifications in tests. Of course, if you switch to a typed language that doesn't have nil types, that doesn't help...
I am working as an architect with about 17+ years of experience and i feel the same. However it would still be prudent to practice as mentioned in one of the comments. Things seem easier if tackled before. Your task should be to create the time and the motivation for regular practice.
There are extra protections for law enforcement; that should be debated.

I've never seen a half-decent study in social sciences that draws rigorous conclusions: what I have seen is those studies noticing a correlation and then mainstream media picking it up as de facto conclusions (to put out a simplest example we've all seen: "people who have more sex are happier", directly implying that having sex leads to happiness, whereas studies noticed a correlation between people who claim to be happy and sex frequency).

But you are right about what happens next: you top it off with academically uneducated (or simply unaware of scientific rigour) politicians like Trump (he's just an obvious example, far from being the only one) making calls on different social topics.
Yes, it's aware of the previous frame. I believe I used some kind of motion "heat map" that would indicate where the changes were needed based on accumulated deltas that would gradually decay. However, I still had to keep the brush strokes on a reasonably regular-ish grid to get enough paint brush coverage for real-time rendering. Also, if they were too randomly placed, the image jumped around too much.
Which just sort of loops back to how if Web-based chat had a spec with meaningful user traction we wouldn't have any real use for RCS in the first place.

Also how XMPP could have been that spec, if Google hadn't decided when launching (the first version of) Hangouts to go full Ayn Rand while doing it.

The A380(-800) is known to be “over-winged” (larger and generates more lift than would be optimal, at the cost of drag and weight).

Apparently Airbus was planning to make a larger variant as well, and the wing was designed to accommodate that. But the -800 was years delayed and struggled to find customers, the larger variant was never made.

Lots of people that cared about gamergate weren't "radicalized", they were pissed off. But mostly I'd argue that they are no different than their fathers or grandfathers. Those generations wouldn't have identified as gamers because that wasn't a thing back then, much like they wouldn't shout obscenities in Twitch chat, because that too didn't exist. They'd shout pretty much the same obscenities elsewhere though.

The way you use encryption matters as much as the quality of the crypto used. In Telegrams case, usage is all wrong and not even better than e.g. WhatsApp. Opt-in E2EE is worse than having it be default, and server side encryption with server side keys is bordering on the pointless.

Hmmm well in the current fad of breaking out everything into a "micro" service how often do you deal with 100K LOCs? Also, typed code will reach 100K locs way faster than dynamic.
Not a stupid question. These products tend to offer a lot more functionality and flexibility in terms of how you consume your data. Different analysis possibilities, fancy ML models, custom dashboards, etc.

Also more control over how the data is ingested (sampling or not, etc.)

These products feel more suited to teams building rich apps/webapps where as GA seems to have its roots in sites that are more "content-based" (news sites, etc.).

And for many, not sending the data to Google is an advantage in and of itself.
Nice project! Though as others already said, you can use fzf very effectively to get a GUI-like experience for such tools.

> But they had to dislike it in a productive, nuanced manner.

No, they fundamentally rejected JavaScript, enough to build a whole new language and set of tools. This was not a subtle dislike of a few aspects of it.

I attended the event celebrating the solving of LCS35. LCS35 was a cryptographic challenge set by Ron Rivest (the R in RSA) in 1999. It was intended to be so difficult that only computers made 35 years in the future would be able to solve it.

The challenge was solved by Bernard Fabrot. It was fairly simple code on I believe an intel 4770K. The math libraries and CPU had been optimized so much in the ~20 years since the challenge was set that a consumer CPU could calculate the answer. The only catch is that it took months on end of calculation.

I was thinking that spark lines could give an idea of the increase in Covid19 cases per country in the Wikipedia overview.

Which countries have increasing numbers of cases, which are static, but I found this rather imaginative visualisation for France.

Has anyone found, or made, use of sparklines to embed timeseries information?
No, SpaceX did the exact same thing the shuttle did. 3 normal RtLinux Intel boxes running the very same model, with one hardened controller comparing the results. This can run at much higher CPU frequencies to get the required controller speed and HW latencies. This is just for low orbit and very short missions.

The longer the missions, the higher the orbit, the more radiation fallouts then. The Moon or Mars missions would need to fall back to hardened CPU's and RAM, but there's not much need for high speed controllers there. Just reliable reboots. 200Mhz is enough. The controller high speed is mostly needed for the earth gravity. Up there it's much more relaxed.
jq seemed super useful when I first found it, but ultimately it was always easier to write a few lines of python to do what I needed
In my current job I use Node/Koa with Js, and I am not happy with it. Every side project that I start I use Elixir, and I plan working with it next year, or maybe with Clojure. It's not exactly what I was looking for, but while I can't find one that matches the criteria in the next years, these are pleasant options for me.

> I've never seen a half-decent study in social sciences that draws rigorous conclusions.

Perhaps you should look harder. The dominant approach in economics for 20 years has been to reject correlational studies and try very hard to get at casuality, by:

* Running randomised controlled trials, often at scale (see eg Esther Duflo);

* Laboratory experiments, which have provided a body of robust paradigms and results;

* Seeking natural experiments;

* Statistical techniques like regression discontinuity and instrumental variables.

There's plenty of bad work in the social sciences. So is there elsewhere in the natural sciences (cough Lancet). There's plenty of good work too.

> "A first limitation is that our analyses were constrained by the use of cross-sectional data, which precludes definitive assessment of directionality of associations.

Awesome, one of the costs of sattelites should get cheaper now.
Thank you for reflecting with an opinion. I also believe that opt-in E2EE is worse than having it by default. We have precedent for E2EE chats by default and syncing those E2EE messages across devices using the latest RiotX for Matrix. I'd love to see Telegram adopt that strategy.

I use Telegram because it delights its users. When I have tried to bring friends and family to first Riot, then Signal, the experience I encountered was one of frustration, whether it was messages unexpectedly not syncing or delivering, the pain of cross-signing new devices for E2EE (RiotX), or the paucity of features. I have tried nearly every messenger that exists in an effort to seek out a usable compromise for laypeople and Telegram has been the only one to make that bar.

We use Matrix in my workplace because I can count on the employees being technical and patient enough to forgive having to input a multitude of varying passwords in succession just to get their session going.

It was the exact same idea I had when I saw Alpha Go beating Human Champions. I thought how was that fair? A Machine using ~600kW, while AlphaGo Zero went down to something like 1-2kW. That is still 40 to 80 Times the human brain power consumption. Not to mention our brain requires to process images, smell and other surrounding senses simultaneously. And our 25W includes DRAM, SSD, Storage and all Interconnection. Not sure if that is something Google put into its initial account as it only mention TPU, GPU and CPU.

Although as others have pointed out, Chess seems to be computationally less expensive meaning 25W is fast enough to beat any human player.

The infection has contaminated in excess of 31,000 individuals and murdered in any event 650 since it was found in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late December. Straightforward careful covers are not powerful. On that with the expansion in populace and vehicles in the city, contamination is a developing concern. The air quality file is at a record high, which can prompt genuine respiratory issues. As per the most recent research, up to 8.8 million individuals bite the dust every year from introduction to contaminated air.Click Here https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/safebreath-pro-rev...
