Also, ngrok's support for introspection of data flowing over the tunnel was what got me to be a paying user of ngrok. Surprise! Their docs didn't mention it doesn't work for https tunnels. If their docs had been competent I probably would still have become a paying subscriber but I would have been a much less pissed off paying user than I was after subscribing, burning time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, and finally concluding that feature didn't work. Oh, and ngrok support has never even acknowledged receipt of a single email, much less provide actual support. If you want people to pay, you need to treat it as a business not a hobby.
LA County is reportedly 2-4 weeks from hitting capacity, lots of other smaller places are closer, and hospitalizations are trailing enough that even an immediate return to lockdown (aside from compliance issues, which after reopening are going to be significant) won't stop some places from being overwhelmed, but reopening continues to progress.
And the end result would be Catalina ;-)

Hahaha, yeah, same smallish town's cops love to hassle people with late or early shifts playing "20 questions" fishing for drunks or I-don't-even-know-what ("5:30's awfully early to be going to work" look, asshole, take it up with the hour-fifteen of highway I have to cover, how many drunks are you nabbing at this hour on a Tuesday anyway?), usually just obviously fabricating some reason that they stopped you in the first place, without even trying to hide that it's BS (good luck questioning it, though). That's white folks, too, I can't imagine how bad it is there if you've got too much melanin in your skin. Incredibly annoying. Often it just seems like they're super bored and looking for anything at all to do.
some of the voters clearly did not understand that obamacare==aca

setting this aside, I don’t think anyone is saying that H1B was a perfect system, but IMHO the benefits from it greatly outweigh the downsides. We’ll see how this unfolds and what the medium and long term impact is (spoiler: people will think twice about coming to work/live in the US)

My favorite example when it comes to what’s going on in the US is the Roman Empire. It lasted for 1000+ years but it did disintegrate when the people in power lost track of what made the Roman Empire great. I am not saying this is going to happen in the next 5, 10 or 15 years, but things are definitely shifting and the world your grand grand kids are going to live in is going to be radically different from what we call normal right now.

That's too powerful an objection; you haven't proved that I'm wrong, you've proved education in general is impossible for certain people who take certain attitudes towards it, if they refuse to engage at all.

I'm going to surprise you and just agree. Some problems don't have solutions. That doesn't mean that the people who are willing to engage and will grapple with the problem won't find my way a lot more effective.
> What, then, is a good way to compare languages?

Digging into details and yielding very specific conclusions.

Let’s take the example benchmarks.

The first one, Fibonacci, can only be properly assessed by inspecting the assembly. It is an analysis of compiler output, not of the language, not even of compiler optimizations.

It therefore only measures the CPU speed of function calls, and one compiler outputs a different set of assembly instructions:

• Go (go tool objdump fib) is all like “CMPQ JBE(label(morestack)) … LEAL(-1,cx) MOVL(cx) CALL(fib) …×3 ADDL(-2,cx) MOVL(cx) CALL(fib) MOVL ADDL …×3 RET label(morestack) CALL(morestack) JMP”.

• Crystal (crystal build --emit=asm fib.cr) is all like “subl(1) …×6 callq(fib) …×1 subl(2) …×7 callq(fib) movl addl …×6 addq retq” for the recursive condition.

So the conclusion is that Go outputs less instructions, but has to maintain its segmented stacks (useful for goroutines, its lightweight threading system) on every call, while Crystal uses the standard assembly calling system with little overhead beyond light dynamic typechecks.

So there is a language-motivated difference: calls in Go are a tiny bit more expensive, but built-in lightweight threads consume little memory because their stack can increase dynamically according to use[0].

The second benchmark, HTTP servers, has everything to do with the implementation of the default library, and nothing to do with either the language or the compiler. And I presume Crystal is backed by an optimized C library for TCP[1] while Go is probably a full reimplementation of TCP and HTTP.

All of those points sound like a "no true scotsman" -- e.g. "he doesn't understand REAL Postmodernism".

All Jungian psychology is pseudoscience; hell most psychology is pseudoscience outside of measurable behaviorist or cognitive approaches.
That sounds plausible.

I once had Astrid installed, but I can't remember if it's on this phone or the previous one. But that shouldn't interfere, should it.

I had OpenTasks, that also presents itself with a icon named Tasks, but uninstalling it didn't help either.
From reading the article, it is more about the migration of macOS toward an iOS model in philosophy and, occasionally, system design.

ok boomer. I see that point for Fb, but Snapchat?
That's a different problem. I believe that Kednicma is talking about people who aren't even trying to understand.

Let's say the conversation is about Haskell, and some random HN commenter wanders in who has never used Haskell. (Let's call him AnimalMuppet, just to put a name on.) You can't really explain monads to him; he has to go try them to get what's going on. But there's a difference between AnimalMuppet saying "Tell me why you'd want to program that way", and saying "No, monads are not a burrito, they can only give metaphorical indigestion, not the real thing." One is trying to understand (without the background to be able to do so). The other is just wanting to argue, without even caring whether the basis for doing so has any relevance to the discussion.

"It is useless to have a conversation with those who will not listen." - me, but it sounds deep and almost Buddhist, so maybe I stole it from someone.
Yes, but at least Apple paid for the repair. HP had no mercy for the hinge.

Tell me, outside of a Thinkpad, are there really any good Windows brands? Microsoft's Surface division just opened a repair program because the glass on their screens was spontaneously cracking.
That's my read, too. I think they are in error, at least the way described. Maybe what they are trying to say is that Person 1 wouldn't think they were the cause, and so wouldn't register on the app as having Covid, and so they wouldn't be backtraced further to notify others? That makes more sense.
Thanks for the explanation, makes sense! Sounds like I could get away with 1GB RAM for development and probably want a bit more of a buffer to be safe in production.
What I'm seeing here is that if an app has the Snapchat SDK I won't install it or will delete it. I have no interest in sharing my phone number with Snapchat.
We've changed to that from https://sci-hub.tw/10.1038/s41565-020-0707-4. For specialized papers it's generally better to submit the highest-quality third party description and link to the paper in the comments.
Not only that, but also:

* Apple charges +$800 for 64GB of RAM, which on Amazon would cost you around $300-350.

* Apple costs $1600 for 4TB of SSD, which on Amazon would cost you around $450-600.

* Soldering the SSD to the motherboard is an enormously horrible engineering decision for both servicing, backups, and data recovery.
Hackintosh is a non starter if you are using the computer for commercial use.
For some time it has a risc64 backend.
I believe Apple has faced multiple class action lawsuits over this type of issue.

Here is the pretty broad result of one:

"Friday’s settlement covers U.S. owners of the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7Plus or SE that ran the iOS 10.2.1 or later operating system. It also covers U.S. owners of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus that ran iOS 11.2 or later before Dec. 21, 2017.

Consumers contended that their phones’ performance suffered after they installed Apple software updates. They said this misled them into believing their phones were near the end of their lifecycles, requiring replacements or new batteries."

No, I understood. The article gives several different examples of "blurry", and they aren't all the same. Fixing motion blur is one example of something where you aren't just completely guessing and "inpainting".
It's not Chinese text, it's an arithmetic-coded stream of bits mapped so the bits fall within the range of some codepoints. It's basically a variant of base64 except for Unicode.

(Side note: aren't these codepoints very expensive to encode in UTF-8? It seems there must be a lower-valued range more suited to it)
The point of most such caveats is that for any non-trivial benchmark, implementation details will inevitably be different enough that it's unlikely a single benchmark result will give you much information in general about how to compare the two languages. But the other thing I'd say is that speed of execution is only one of many, many factors to consider when choosing a programming language for a project, and it's very often not a very important one.
Thanks for the feedback. Full transparency our only documentation is the website, dashboard, and of course mainly the --help flag in the CLI. Part of this is because we've kept the first release very minimal and simple, so there's not so much to document (yet).

To answer your questions here though,

- multiple ports on the same domain: currently no, but this is definitely on the list.

- https tunneling: we enforce TLS on all subdomains and handle that for you via a wildcard cert. We actually don't support non-https currently (and may never if there's no demand for it).
You can tell people a problem that they would realistically run into in the near future. Built it up in a way that they can actually see they having trouble due to the problem.
Yet, the party in power in those neighborhoods have had power for 60 years. Why continue to give them blank checks? Why trust their ideas now?
Anything truly new is met with everything but understanding.

Back in 2006 I had the seeds of an idea that you probably know today as a "deep fake", but I was calling it "personalized media". By 2008 I had a fully operating feature film quality automated actor replacement pipeline (my background is visual effects.) However, even with a working system nobody could understand the ramifications this could have on education, entertainment and advertising. Even today, I'd be surprised if you, dear reader, understand the ramifications of being able to replace actors in filmed media. The shortsightedness of, well everyone, is obvious. People think of creating porn when they think of a deep fake, yet that is the dumbest implementation of the technology one could waste their time doing. Why not create an advertising system where consumers, and their friends appear in video advertising using the products being advertised? Add celebrities and you have virtual celebrity experiences. Add political candidates and you have virtual meet your candidate experiences. Educational media where you and your classmates are on location in historical events. This is just the smallest example of how far media with the viewer embedded in it could go. I pursued the idea until I went bankrupt.
Well, crowds don't have opinions. People do. There in no hypocrisy when a group disagrees with itself - it is just people disagreeing with other people.

Sure. But if that code is going to be ran a lot, please try to keep the number of required nuclear power plants down.

Also don't forget about phone and laptop battery life either.
Has anyone approached Jepsen about running an analysis on the Erlang Ra implementation? I believe they've been running Jepsen tests internally, just curious if they're thinking about getting an official analysis at some point. Thanks for all that you folks do!!

Slack, Chrome, Safari... but Xcode and the simulator is enough to bring it to its knees
Oh my, of course. My assumption was that this function would not be used with dynamic, possibly user-defined input. This is small-scale thinking, and obviously if you intend for this code to be reused then this case must be accounted for. I'm pretty terrified that I was able to look at this code and have that assumption, even though I know better. I've even caught and resolved a couple XSS vulnerabilities at companies I've worked for. What does this say about me? Maybe another question to ask is, what does this say about the value of a web framework?
It looked like Launchpad was not in the Big Sur install. It wasn’t in the docks for the demos. I suspect that it as been deprecated if not fully retired.

I’m also seeing UI elements from MacOS coming to iPads in the sidebar components they are adding.
If SSDs don't fail, more RAM isn't needed, and so on, then why do people feel the need to buy a new laptop every three years?

I think the percentage of users that would buy a new, 1500$+ machine instead of a small 100$ upgrade is much lower than one expects living in a bit of an echo chamber. There's a lot of people that get burned by outrageous repair prices or that buy new computers when they could simply upgrade a part.

Ask yourself; if you've never felt the need to upgrade a laptop or to replace a break, then why really would you upgrade?
Nor did they force any iPad upgrades...sigh
> Why don't all the sane people just block them and ignore them, and then go on with their lives as if nothing happened?

They can't afford to do that, because this "mob" is actively dangerous. They will slander their enemies with all sorts of baseless accusations, call their workplaces to try and get them fired, manufacture false flag harrassment/cyberbulling and try to attribute it to them, etc. It's no different from the 8chan trolls - in fact they come from adjacent Internet subcultures, quite literally.
That is only something people take issue with because it used to be modular. You don't see people making the same argument with phones, printers, iPads, TVs, Cars, Smartwatches etc.

I'm not saying soldering things down is ideal, but it's only a problem because people perceive an option that was there but now isn't as 'bad faith' or 'taking away' something. Imagine the riots if we used to be able to change the CPU in a laptop. (in theory we 'used' to be able to but in practise that never worked well because the microcode didn't fit in the firmware and the cooling solution only takes a small amount of TDP variance - popping in a faster CPU meant it overheated so quickly it was useless)

Would it be cool if all devices were composable? Sure. Is it something users care about? Not really.

I'd like it if Apple found a way to allow swapping of components within the design envelope constraints they create d for themselves, but it also won't have an impact on what I'd buy.
Yes, open carry laws exist. Yes, people in the South own firearms. Nevertheless your statement that "almost everyone in southern states visibly carry guns" remains false.

A more correct restatement of your claim might be that "many" Southerners openly carry, but that's still a minority of a minority given that, per capita, most Southerners don't even own a gun. "Almost everyone" is reaching into some kind of weird libertarian wild-west fantasy stereotype.
There are about 200000 chrome extensions, if 200 defected that is not a lot. It should be some minor things. Interestingly it is hard to make educated choice - does it contain opt-out spyware? what is the license? how much JS code it contains and why? is code readable or minified?

This is just perfect timing, I’m about to set up end to end tests on CI and need Stripe webhooks forwarding. Stripe CLI is not super reliable and ngrok is kind of expensive for what it does, I’ll definitely give it a go.

What would be super useful is a daemon mode that will run in the background while writing the bound address to STDOUT.

Obscurity is a completely cromulent, and actually decently effective (as clearly evidenced by Snap), stage to a defense in depth architecture.

I use a ultra-wide (2560x1080) monitor and it looks terrible [1]. The repository header being "fluid" put the repository name and watch/star/fork buttons so far out of the rest of the repository info, like branch name, commit info etc., that using GitHub maximized feels very weird and tiring.

I get using the whole resolution for the menu bar, since its content is disconnected to the rest of the page content. But having part of the repository info in different "aspects" don't make sense for me

> Being able to swap out RAM and storage and battery from factory-provided can extend the lifetime (and even increase the performance capacity) of a given machine at nothing more than the cost of the new parts.

While that is true, how many users of any kind of device actually considers that an option these days?
No doors, roof only. I consider it outdoors. Anyways, in my country open markets get disenfected twice a week, and yet they still find infections through contact tracing, originated from the sellers at these markets.
To be clear, I mean that hospitals will inevitably be overwhelmed once you see a sharp upswing in hospitalisations; by the time you see that the pipeline is likely already primed and nothing you can do will change the trajectory of the upswing much for days. If you see a sharp upswing in cases, though, swift action can maybe deal with that (assuming you have decent observability). Most the the cases will never see the inside of a hospital, but they provide a somewhat useful proxy for the future of hospitalization.

If you need to pick a metric on which to reinstitute lockdowns, hospitalization isn't really very useful; it's better than nothing but if you use it you're probably going to overshoot.
That's an entirely different argument altogether. Of course one is free to tolerate harm or accept danger in exchange for freedom, but that doesn't imply that ideas or speech cannot be dangerous, or that platforms that mediate speech don't change or weaponise discourse in certain ways, many of which are harmful.

And it should be pointed out that most societies don't agree with this at all, and as is becoming more evident, neither does the American society in general.

In this era of modern mass communication there hasn't been any social consensus on the nature or acceptance of speech, it's a purely inherited position, ironically enough.
I don't think that's justified, until I see data to the contrary.
It generally leads to being fired for not completing milestones, which leads to not having income to support yourself.
Anecdotally, in my age group (College / new grads in Northeastern USA) Snapchat occupies a slightly different segment from TikTok (rant incoming...)

TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook are all places where people share more public / curated content, whether that's a silly video you made, a meme, or a little more curated photo of something exciting you're doing. Regardless of the content, there's a big focus on reputation and superficial interactions (likes, comments, etc.)

In contrast, Snapchat is still extremely popular for private communication (group chats, private messaging). For many college-age people, Snapchat is closer to an alternative to text messaging -- people heavily use the editing and multimedia features in creative ways that you couldn't do with normal SMS (For example, drawing over an image, circling something, overlaying another image, typing out a sentence over an image). Snapchat still has a consistent user base here because they've continually focused on improving the chat features. One example of this phenomenon: Whenever I met new people in college, we exchanged 1) Phone numbers 2) Snapchat accounts, since those are the primary methods for private communication for many. My snapchat friends list is nearly 1:1 with my phone contact book for anyone I met socially.

Instagram competes with Snapchat (and is arguably winning) on any feature that focuses on public sharing, such as the "stories" feature -- And for good reason, since Instagram as a platform has been designed from the start around public sharing. Similarly, TikTok will definitely beat Snapchat on the curated public video content, because that's just never what Snapchat was good at.

Only time will tell whether the smaller user base that is hyper-loyal to Snapchat for private messaging is large enough to justify their insane valuation, but I don't think Instagram or TikTok have really captured Snapchat's core value in private messaging.
Why is it not a tragedy of the commons?

"The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users, acting independently according to their own self-interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling the shared resource through their collective action."

In this case, given that everyone else is going to use plastics, it is in my interest to use them too. But I would be better off (maybe) if noone used them. Does that not fit the definition?
It's different here - for revenue from intellectual property rights in particular you do not need to be a business (you do need accounting & to submit an annual declaration to the revenue service; but you can do that as a regular person, there's no need to register a business).
> This administration has proven time and time again with regards to immigration that they will pay lip service to making improvements

Not much different than 8 years of previous administration [1]. One good thing about this administration is that it hurts SV, and that might bring attention to the problem of Greencard backlogs, and the resulting indentured servitude and labor market distortions.

Also, note that the person putting hold on the bipartisan S386[2] bill is Sen. Durbin, a Democrat. So, please don't lay all blame for this situation at Republican's or President's doorstep.
