So far I have not encountered any problems with e.g. desktop Firefox (no surprise, gecko has been running on Android for ages) and various server things (mostly the BEAM.. and even some Haskell, even though before 8.8 GHC did not put proper memory barriers everywhere, and I used 8.6 back when I compiled the app).

Most libraries and applications use stuff like mutexes, btw :) it's not like people who don't care about memory models try to make lockfree things often.
Then the problem is with the police, not the tech, right? Safety is a really big privilege.

On two: pretty much all more then two sentences long explanations of virus origin I have seen months ago involved another animal in between.

So no, another animal in between does not show explanation is more indirect then thought. It just shows something that was talked about openly in like January or February.
> But I’ve never seen anyone care about the languages you know as long as they think you can pick up a new one easily.

Is that true for the beginning of the hiring pipeline? While my experience is limited to healthcare developer recruitment in the UK the recruiters and agencies seem very focussed on keywords - and without passing that barrier you aren’t even getting an interview with software professionals.

Ah hello thanks for looking at the app. The reason that we state that Euclidean does not always find the shortest path is because the way the distance heuristic is calculated. Euclidean will not work on a quad-directional traversal grid such as this (we cant use diagonals) so instead the Manhattan distance is used to override this issue.
There are actually 3 frameworks in Java that are competing head to head with Go, Micronaut, Quarkus and Helidon.

Helidon is spearheaded by Oracle and currently fails to get some tractions.
Micronaut is the baby of Graham Rocher one of the father of Grail (RoR in Groovy) and Quarkus is the baby of Emmanuel Bernard one of the father of Hibernate and supported by RedHat.

All of them run on either a standard JVM or let you use Graal SVM which compiles Java to native with roughly the same trade off as Go (latency is more important than throughput).

At my company, we have prototyped the migrating of a Go application that relies heavily of Kafka to Micronaut or Quarkus. We have found that Micronaut is less polished and more buggy than Quarkus but take it with a pinch of salt because it's just 5k of code.

You're thinking of the Palm Pixi, I think. This is a new Android device by the looks of it.
But then you lose the main advantages of using them to begin with. It becomes harder to use, it may not be able to do efficient differential backups or snapshots anymore or require you to do some complicated thing to make it work because their interface isn't meant to be used that way etc. And if it's actually important for the data to remain private, you then have to get the cryptography right, not think that your backups are "encrypted" because you used TLS, or use some snake oil encryption software which is using export ciphers or bad random number generation or anything like that.

In-house backups aren't that hard. The hardest thing is to make sure everything is getting backed up that ought to be, and actually test that it is, which is no different with cloud backups.

I'd really like "I learned something" as a vote button. It's poisonous to think that I agreeing with something means I have to adopt the other person's stance on an issue, and if I disagree I have to denounce their contribution as horrible and bad.

Some of the best stuff I've ever read didn't change my overall stance on the issue, but gave it nuance and depth it didn't have before, and more respect for the person on the other side.
May I know how many instances are there in crdb/tidb cluster and the concurrency in the benchmark?
We found that for small clusters (for example 3 instances), CRDB could be fast in read-only workload. Because CRDB is single binary, about 1/3 read operation will not involve RPC. TiDB need to involve a RPC for every request. For larger scale cluster or high concurrency, it is a different story.
Well your argument proves it's about control. You justify your control by saying the opposing viewpoint is too dangerous.

Just realize you are not really changing minds nor preventing ideas from propagating. Ideas will propagate, people will believe ideas because of their mindset and upbringing, not because they read it once in some forum. The only thing censorship accomplishes is the Streisand effect.

The UK isn’t a homogenous society like that and it also has hundreds of years of institutionalised racism to deal with. So I’m not sure that can be a reason why these principles wouldn’t work in the US.
They could afford to make this a bit thicker and more rounded. At this size, its ability to fit snugly into your palm (no pun intended) is more important than any perceived benefit of thinness. I personally believe such "egg-shaped" devices will become the dominant hand-held form factor, with tablets as supplementary devices.
Zope and the Plone Foundation
We could do without that kind of "discussion". I've mostly just seens people shouting at each other (or preaching to their choirs) about that here on the internet. Lots of sharing of little anecdotal stories and selective stats with lots of cancellations and insults hurled.

Can you imagine a "the problem is black culture" right wing conservative trying to have a civil discussion with a BLM protestor in the current climate?
I don't know. All I want is an Android between 5 inch and 6 inch, something the size of a 2016 iPhone SE.

But all I see is either gigantic phones, or 3 inches phones like this one so tiny they're barely usable as a smartphone. At that point why not just buy a dumb phone?

Seems plausible that a sufficiently small and dim object could remain unobserved by humans, but if we’re considering objects from millions or even billions of years ago, I’m not sure the orbit would have remained stable.
One big reason that Big Brands advertise is to drive up the ad price and block out smaller competitors by raising the cost of entry.
In that picture, there is a cat eating mice and a bird eating frogs. If you look close, it's not just peace and harmony.

The nice thing on the internet is that you don't have to listen to the indecent people. It's just that Facebook doesn't offer a comfortable way to filter the input stream. If indecency were a problem, people would move to Mastodon and implement their filters.
It's a dilemma of memory vs computation. It depends on what we expect/prefer:

FM that takes a lot of memory
or
FM that use computation resources when required only.
I tend to think that in general expectation from FM
is to be very small in memory demands and take valuable computational resources only if it is absolutely necessary.
This is very likely in response to the Stop Hate For Profit campaign[1], it has been picking up steam the last week with a bunch of major brands[2] (REI, Coca-Cola, Unilever) saying they're going to pause FB's cash cow, ads, for a month. So Zuckerberg was forced to respond.

Pressure (internal and external) on the tech giants can force them to change.

I hope you can forgive me for asking, but what exactly is this (cosmopolitan)? It looks interesting but I can’t really tell what it’s trying to be.
- Before widespread internet use, say year 2000, all communities were local. News were local + nation wide, people still focused on their physical proximity of 20 miles that affected them the most. Today, none of my friends read local news. Local news outlets are being bankrupted left and right.

talk radio was popular in the 90s and is the same sort of echo chamber that you'd find on facebook.

- Anonymity on the internet. People can say whatever they want without attaching their name, face and self-pride. This creates extremely unproductive conversations without consequences. Platforms such as Twitter propel this behavior to new heights. When it was local, you'd lose friends for being unpleasant, you'd lose credibility in your community for being inflammatory.

okay, but if the conversation has no consequence then why does it matter? does twitter matter? i know it seems to matter, but is that not just an effect of every individual person who comprises the media being on twitter representing their company or promoting themselves personally?

- Foreign interference - when internet use was not widespread, it was difficult to infiltrate a foreign election campaign and interfere with it.

this was the point that prompted me to comment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_electoral_intervention

- Data collection and manipulation - Targeted newsfeeds that feed these echo chambers could not possibly reach critical mass before the internet. Echo chambers were physical places to go to - Hells Angels or joining the Evangelical Christian church. No such limits exist now.

i really don't understand this. is the idea that all the time you're not in church or at the hells angels club you're soaking up some stuff from the surrounding culture? wouldn't that balance out given how weak of an influence the internet is on one's identity compared to being physically at a place with other people who are physically there, literally forming an actual group of people?

- Scale - The internet allows unprecedented scale to operate on. Echo chambers reverb into unimaginable self-resonance. Joe Rogan can say something and millions could hear it. +1M subscriber channels on YouTube span thousands. That was practically impossible unless you were on national TV.

you're opining that now there are more echo chambers compared to when there was one? first, that's questionable on its own, but that wasn't how things were before the internet was pervasive.

the democrats and republicans as they are now were not different in the 90's. there was a time that there were liberal republicans and conservative democrats, then the democrats veered away from the legacy of the new deal, and the republicans congealed around neo conservatism. now we have two homogenous brands that are competing with each other. this all was in place during the clinton admin, which is why he got impeached for getting a blow job. perhaps your memory is fuzzy on the 90s.
I think a lot of us assume civilization to mean that the sapients must at least be as technologically advanced as us right now. But there could have been simple hunter gatherer societies which used materials like wood and other organic stuff for their constructions.

I think assuming that all civilizations must live in a concrete jungle like us is as likely to be wrong as to assume that all aliens must look like us, or that all life in the universe must only exist in a temperature range of 0-60'C
Facebook to tag ‘harmful’ posts as boycott widens
I don't see how the two compare. As a programmer, you need pointers for dynamic allocation. You don't need to use whitespace in paths, ever. It is a convenience for the user.
I do think the risk of riots and social unrest due to idleness is the main unknown with UBI.

But its such a psychological issue, it’s hard to know how it’ll play out long term.
Cool app! However shouldn't using the Euclidean heuristic still result in finding the shortest path, as it will not overestimate the distance to the goal when evaluating a node, even if it is not possible to travel diagonally in the grid?

Also - is the behavior shown in the screenshot working as intended, as the shown path includes a detour?
We don’t know if there’s a market yet, the product has only just been launched

That's not really a good reason to not innovate though. People have been harvesting crops manually for thousand of years, but we've improved.
Wow. This is great.

Only one thing, an old news paper format won't have images on all stories which is bit awkward to look at.
Thank you for thoughts though. Was interesting to read both of you.
Continuous learning is a fundamental part of the job. Some of the answers here focus on stable tech stacks but in reality even if you spend your entire career using the same tools, you still need to be continuously learning new things within that stack just to keep up.
> Why is Elixir so attractive to the top-tier companies in the world?

It isn't, which is why so few of them use it.

The funny thing about Elixir is that even though in theory it has lot of the things you would want in a modern multi-core world, the reality is it would have been more attractive as a language a decade ago.

I think it’s worth paying to have email on a domain you control. I’m not sure any of the hype email services like hey or superhuman get you that much you won’t get with any other email provider.
Ah - sorry if I wasn't clear. My point is that if you're implementing a turn-based multiplayer game like this, your game logic preferably shouldn't be on the client at all. By "concessions" I mean you might have little things like starting the animation for a move immediately rather than waiting for the server to acknowledge receipt, but the ideal turn-based board game client is one that knows nothing about the rules of the game it's playing - just how to parse and render the moves and state it gets from the server.
> SF homeless budget is $300 million per year, yet there's only 5,000 to 10,000 homeless people.

The fact that "there's only 5,000 to 10,000 homeless people" is a direct consequence of this spending. From the Wikipedia entry on homelessness in SF:

> much of this spending is focused on housing the formerly homeless, or those at risk, and not the currently homeless.

You write:

> And as I have said previously, can't 50% of the SF homeless be helped with job and interview skills to get them off the streets, so the other mentally ill 50% can get focus? It's amazing how the SF Chronicle can always find 5 homeless people to do a lucid interview with.

Again, you're misrepresenting the situation. The homelessness budget is predominantly being used to stop people from falling through the cracks. Certainly you could spend more money on shelters. But it would only help the homeless if the money came via a budget increase.
UBI is more like anti-welfare.
Google paying Mozilla hundreds of millions of dollars isn't exactly a charity. Google care very much about the complete and utter ubiquity of their search.

Using Firefox more will put Mozilla in a stronger position to negotiate a better deal, whether with Google or someone else. Worst that could happen is Firefox turning into some kind of boutique browser for connoisseurs willing to pay. That's uncompetable.

They might be able to raise revenue using other innovative methods eventually, but that won't amount to anything if we aren't using the hell out of their (very good) browser.
How did you figure out the root cause? Usually you can't fetch those files yourself.
"So here’s my experience and best advice for 2020"
So... Reddit?
I don't think this is true. From Wikipedia [1]:

> The heuristic function is problem-specific. If the heuristic function is admissible, meaning that it never overestimates the actual cost to get to the goal, A* is guaranteed to return a least-cost path from start to goal.

In this case the euclidean does not overestimate so I would guess there is a bug in the implementation.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm

Edit:

Having taken a look at the source code I believe the problems mostly stem from the `addNeighboursToOpen` function [2]. It sets the distance and parent of unvisited neighbors of the current node. However this may happen multiple times for a node before it is actually visited. Meaning that the distance and parent is updated multiple times and the value at the end is not the optimal one. A simple fix would be to do a if check to see if the node already has a distance assigned.

John Gruber prefers the feel of the 2.31” classic width iPhones [1]:

> Feel matters. And to me, the classic 4-inch display form factor shared by the iPhones 5, 5S, and now SE [1st Gen] feels the best in hand. This is obviously highly subjective, but in my mind it’s not even a close call. There are obvious reasons to prefer the larger 4.7- and 5.5-inch models, but how they feel in your hand isn’t one of them.

The ultra-mobile Palm is 2” wide with a 16:9 720p screen and almost half the weight of the 1st Gen iPhone SE (63g vs 113g) but half the battery capacity.

Derek Sivers: keep your goals to yourself
On the subject of audience reaction: The Infinite Monkey Cage, a BBC Radio science/comedy show hosted by Briana Cox and Robin Ince has always been recorded in front of an audience. They have recently been experimenting with remote audience and it's worked surprisingly well. They have built a webapp for it called the virtual audience recording system that the audience members use while watching the live show in zoom. The performers and audience can hear each other through it, so you are not just laughing to yourself.

It's really quite striking how much of a difference having an audienceakes to the performance. The conversation seems to flow much better and theres a lot more energy to it.

Ive been involved in community theatre for years and I've always found the interaction between audiences and cast absolutely fascinating, especially with comedy, where a near identical performance can feel so different from one night to the next.
> But you will have to pay for a Quality Assurance guy to watch the robots

I assume with modern sensors, IoT and analytics, it can be done at scale remotely. Instead of maintenance folks regularly inspect on-site, they will only visit when the analytic indicates it is time to fix/clean the machines.
On an unrelated note is there a service that translates news into this type of summary? I can't be the only person willing to fork over money for something like that.
if you talk like a news anchor in real life you will have no friends and people will avoid you.
I went back reading a printed newspaper a few months back and the speed in which I get my news now is astonishing. It feels like the web is not made to update oneself on news efficiently. To skim and zoom in and out of articles. I think part is the display format, part is the organization. A physical newspaper has a very predictable structure and does not change while you are reading it. (I.e. no need to come back to the same section once you read it).

Typography and layouting of a newspaper is quite complex. If you look at a printed newspaper, the stories are arranged and cut to size with images, captions and inserts to fit neatly into the grid.

Depending on the newspaper the information flow from headline, subheadings, article is strict, optimizing for allowing for fast skimreading or to grab your attention.

To do this "right" on challenging unedited reddit posts will be a lot of work, but an interesting challenge.
