You're really bringing up false dichotomies all the time.

Nobody ever argued that it was about the programming languages or equal implementations, but about project stewardship and diverging code bases. They influence each other, it's not only about one or the other.

I don't know where you get your weird 100% bug compatibility idea from, that's literally how nothing is handled anywhere.
This is also orthogonal to specs, you can have specs that completely dictate specifications (like CORBA) or that are super loose in what they allow (ANSI C).

There are not only reference documents but also reference implementations, as projects grow it's ok do diverge from them, and find common ground in other documents like specs.
Sometimes they cover reasonable behaviour so well that they can work as an alternative to a specification, like sqlite and https://sqljet.com/ . That doesn't mean that they'll never change, SQLite regularly has bugs discovered and fixed. If the SQLite devs don't even adhere to your assumed "aLL bUgS aND BEhAViOUrs aRE SAcrEd AnD MUsT Be KEpT InDeFInitElY" philosophy, why would anybody else?

As if there is some kind of weird rigid black and white process involved with these complex projects, that is either good base implementation and no spec ever in the future with 100% backwards compatibility, or waterfall spec development followed by implementations that asymptotically approach the spec.

Where theres a will theres a way, these projects and documents are all about people and the ways they collaborate and work. It's not as rigid as you make it out to be.

>When I come across a bug how do I know whether it's a bug or something someone forgot to document properly? What if that bug isn't present in another implementation?

You do what you currently do. You go to a place where the people that steward the project reside and you ask.
Why and how do you think specs get revised? They contain ambiguities, bugs, and unspecified behaviour. Somebody stumbles upon it, and asks a question.

>What about when someone comes along and suggests something that would work really well but it turns out that nobody else with a different code design could reasonably implement it?

You'd do what you currently do. You talk about it, and in the end you might even write it down somewhere, in a spec, in an rfc, in a piece of documentation.

You seem to think that SQLite would stay the reference implementation for ever, which is simply not true. It's a good starting point yeah. But webkit didn't stay the reference implementation either, nor did netscape.

Don't be so rigid.
Yeah, I'm using 4TB laptop-sized (2.5") external USB drives, because they are small, cheap, quiet, and they don't need a secondary power supply. At the time of purchase, they were the sweet spot, with 5TB drives considerably more expensive. That may have changed now.

If you're going for 3.5" drives, then yes I can well believe that the sweet spot is with slightly larger drives, especially if you take enclosures into account. I did the calculations for work a while back for shoving hard drives into something from https://www.45drives.com/ and it seemed that getting the largest drives possible was the best price/capacity option.

There are many lightweight, embeddable scripting languages available, yet Lua remains dominant. This is despite the language being "quirky" at best (and "dreaded" at worst [0]).

Is this just inertia, or is there a technical reason for new projects to embed Lua rather than a different language?

I definitely fit into the "moody diva 10x developer"

I've given up trying to estimate how long a task will take and more or less just pick an arbitrary (usually comfortably large) number of points.

The thing is, it isn't even about estimating the scope of work, which is often unknown until it's complete, especially if I'm battling technical debt. A given task might take me an afternoon on a good day, or half a week on a bad week. Case in point, I got more work done on Monday than all of last week. That's the joy of having ADHD I suppose.

At least my manager is very understanding, and recognises that on a macro scale I get a lot of high quality work done. I think that's the key to being a good manager, understanding that your subordinates have different working styles and managing them with that in mind. I'm sure there are "10x developers" out there who work in a more consistent manner, or benefit from more hands-on management than I do.

"Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

[...]

While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate."

So as long as you hate or incite violence towards whatever groups Reddit define as "in the majority", you are welcome? Mind blowing...
> Can you give a better explanation?

1. 99% regular Chinese citizens can't give more .... about what some ancient philosopher wrote. They have more important things to care, like earning a living. It is like telling that most Americans are... Aristotelians because few of them were of Greek extraction (even when their descendants today cannot say a word in Greek...)

2. Chinese culture was not formed by ancient dictums. The culture of China was razed with fire in seventies, and rebuilt from blank sheet. The level of "culture" of a regular citizen was reduced to just being able to read, and write, and even that was not a given.

And even before the revolution, Chinese culture people knew had zero things in common to what these people think. The man would be laughed out not only by grannies on the bus today, but equally so a century ago.

3. If there is any cultural imprint on China at all, it would be Russia. Chinese north of Shanghai are effectively indistinguishable by what is in their head from most Russians, other than them speaking Chinese.

Only a more rural, impassable, and much less well off Southern China managed to preserve few vestiges of what China was before the revolution.

To most Chinese citizens, a travel to HK, or Taiwan is a giant cultural shock. It is because them suddenly realising themselves being so much less Chinese than they though they were.
This is very true. It was something I admit I found more than a bit irritating; a number of Hyperscan DPI customers just started regarding Hyperscan as a "fact of nature" and would simply start coding around weaknesses or avoiding patterns that didn't work as well. I would much have preferred that they complain and have us fix things for them.

IMO there's still a lot of scope for a better regex engine; backtracking engines have a lot of expressiveness for better or worse and I'm not convinced that they are as bad as people say. Systems like Hyperscan are somewhat niche in that they throw a lot of stuff overboard in pursuit of scale (lots of regexes at once), performance and "streaming" (the ability to pause matching with a fixed-sized amount of context and restart). Despite its hype, RE2 is not that great either - it's a couple engines taped together with some fairly opinionated design policies that has become big enough to be a "fact of nature" at a big influential company ("I guess that's how a regex engine works").
I’d imagine Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and HN would be a bigger top for the funnel than Medium or Substack.

One of the values I believe in the most is the right to free speech.

Free speech is a powerful thing, which means it can be used for good and for bad. Sometimes what appears to us today as bad can actually turn out to be good in the future.

The general rule of free speech is that it does not permit threats of violence or obvious incitement to violence.

Hate speech, on the other hand, is MUCH more subjective. What may appear to me to be a well-reasoned argument may to you appear to be hate speech.

With these complex issues in mind, I'd say that unless the groups that Reddit banned were advocating or threatening violence, banning them was counter-productive and hurtful to having an open and free discourse on the internet.

Of course, there is the go-to argument that Reddit is a private company, and as such they can do whatever they like, but because they provide a public service that is used by billions of people, they have an obligation to uphold the values and laws of our society - most notably the first amendment - which protects free speech.
I wonder how often people overdo this, and face some awkward questions when their weight is higher on the way out.

Hi everyone,

I am sure there is no "best" tool for it but what are your recommendations for documentation which should support MDX.

- Gatsby has some nice themes for documentation

- there is Docz which is built on top of Gatsby

- Dokz which is powered by NextJS

- I am sure there are a lot more tools out there

What is your preferred choice? What would you use if you have to start writing documentation today?

It works for UART where you have one to one Tx/Rx and it is enough to cross connect them ("data in" from one to "data out" from another") but in case of SPI where you can have multiple slave devices, all slaves "data in" are connected and are crossed with master. so that you need to differentiate which one is which.

It looks like it also improves low-light sensitivity, which is arguably more useful than colour sensitivity.

> by far the biggest vision problem due to ageing is long-sightedness.

I had cataracts at a young age, and had my natural lenses replaced with fixed-focus implants. There were lots of positives after the procedure, but the downside was an immediate loss of any ability to focus. (Progressive loss of ability to focus is why long-sightedness becomes an issue as you age, and this is a complete loss of that ability in fifteen minutes.)

It may be that I have a 1.5D (intentional) delta in the two lenses, but loss of focusing ability hasn't been that bad so far. In fact, I can now write this on a laptop without any external correction at all. At least from my anecdotal experience, I'd characterize long-sightedness as potentially frustrating, but easily manageable.

What scares me, though, are retinal issues (the ATP loss described in the paper, as well as others). Treatment options there are generally far less effective and far more intrusive.

I'm curious about the fee structure. I was under the impression that the vast majority of patronships were $1/mo. Maybe it's varies among media, since I only subscribe to YouTubers.

I pay $1/mo to like 15 different YouTubers. This adds up to $15/mo which to me is a reasonable price for entertainment. With patreon, I get billed once a month and their fees end up being like the article writes around 12%. If all these YouTubers switched to something like PayPal, now they'd be paying 30% fees on $1 payments instead.

I’m amazed at how American medical salaries are orders of magnitude out of proportion with other western countries. Here in Ireland an anaesthesiologist makes about 100k€/year, and about 60k€/year after tax. That wouldn’t even cover malpractice insurance in the US.

Salaries for other doctors and surgeons are similar - a neurosurgeon will make perhaps 4x-5x less money here than in the States. Meanwhile cost of living in Dublin is about the same as major American cities like Seattle with one of the highest rents in Europe.

Risky Subway Stations for Commute in NYC Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic
Read more here: https://blog.locale.ai/which-subway-stations-to-avoid-in-new...

NYC Subways have been serving as the major transit choice for New Yorkers. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority or MTA, which operates most of NYC’s transit systems, reports a massive 1.7 billion subway rides as of 2013! That’s huge when comparing it to a 803 million figure for the city buses.

Today, the subway usage has obviously decreased due to coronavirus. But, what about people like doctors, essential services staff and other people, who still can’t afford a personal commute and rely on the subways? They are the ones most at risk but they have limited choices.

Seems like a natural fit, if maybe even a bit overpowered.

That said, the embedded 68K project I was on was for an industrial process control device. (We were making hardware that would fit in a valve or sensor in the field and connect it to a network.) Because of various safety requirements, total power dissipation was very, very low. (draw on the order of mA, IIRC, and fairly low voltage.)
I feel like this would make the most sense if it was presented with any context at all. Reading a low level and detailed spec is much easier if you have some higher level understanding of what they're talking about at all.

Portals enable seamless navigations between pages. In particular, we propose a new <portal> HTML element which enables a page to show another page as an inset, and then activate it to perform a seamless transition to a new state, where the formerly-inset page becomes the top-level document.

Portals encompass some of the use cases that iframes currently do, but with better security, privacy, and ergonomics properties. And via the activation operation, they enable new use cases like preloading or navigation transitions.

PIN/contactless debit transactions go through VISA/MC here and they definitely cost less, see below.

However, not 100% sure about remote online/web transactions - most of those providers here are "contact for pricing", but e.g. BlueCommerce and Checkout.fi seem to have a single rate for card payments - though it could be the difference is just "averaged out" (like e.g. iZettle does for card-present EMV transactions: 1.95% for all cards).
