Chattenger: a chatting web app with video and voice calling features as well
hello all!Recently i made a chatting website and i want feedback from you all about how better it is.I have made it amidst the lockdown.My github project link is https://github.com/kanhaiya-2000/Chattenger/ and my website link is https://chattenger.herokuapp.com
Maxmind's database is updated very regularly and includes a lot of things like risk scoring. Those are absolutely protected.
The person being interrupted presumably loses a little productivity, but the person doing the interrupting probably gains quite a lot compared to having to figure it out on their own or wait for an email response in a few hours.

>Do we really want to be faced with a multiplicity of distinct ISAs?

Yes! My computer already have lots of them (GPU, Network-card, SSD-Controler, Intel-ME (ok bad example) and so on)
Where did you see a motion to abolish the calendar?
I wish it would be possible to have better studies for that. I believe that static typing has huge benefits as software scales. I also believe that the type system of TypeScript is actually stronger in practice than the Java or C# one (despite theoretical weaknesses). It has the right tradeoffs (e.g. structural equivalence, being able to type strings, being able to check that all cases are handled, etc.)

It would be nice to have proper studies, but it‘s difficult to control the other variables ...

> When you have enough data to suggest your model is wrong, you should throw away the model and the assumptions it's based on, not the data.

In the example, you agreed to assume the coin is fair. That is, you agreed to stick to the model even if it turns out to be wrong. Throwing the model away, however suggested by the evidence, is just violating the rules you agreed to.
Go started being a Java 1.0, instead of learning what a modern language should be like, so every missing feature gets eventually added with a couple of hacks.

Go 15 is going to be a pleasure to use.....
More than 1k Twitter employees had the security access needed to aid hackers
Yes. If you are able to write custom formulas and async handlers for these formulas, I think this is certainly possible.
It's true, tech support is hard. Samsung, for example, does a terrible job supporting that tablet -- I bought 3 and only one survived a year. One of the others was held in their US repair facility for months while the warranty ran out and then they claimed the problem was no longer covered.

I'm no longer buying tablets or appliances from Samsung. Their TVs and monitors appear to be OK.
Ironically, I tried replying to spam to have fun and never got an answer. I assume they know their targets?
Well, technically every day is the start of a decade.
Yes. Like stoicism. You aren't emotionally insensitive/unintelligent, you're a masculine Roman general!
My parents ran a small business out of their home and the UPS truck came by for pick-ups every day.

They had a yes/no sign in the window to signal if he had to stop or not.

This was before the internet and easy scheduling.
Hi, sorry to hijack this thread, but since you mentioned you're the author, I just wanted to ask you something. Do you have any plans to use a different locking mechanism other than the advisory lock? I'm asking because eventually every postgres-backed app that reaches a certain scale, requires a connection pooler (pgbouncer being the de-facto standard nowadays). We usually run pgbouncer in transaction mode, which doesn't support advisory locks. Any thoughts?
Meaning of the comment was that "most people" entails a higher percentage than "not everybody" (IMO, atleast) though I can see how you interpreted it the way you did. I didn't word it very well, nor did I this. Perks of pandemic sleep schedule.
1 milion per second of anything isn't very fast. Unless you're running that on a mobile phone.

That isn't censorship it is more speech. Your message going so light grey that you need to highlight it means "and most people disagree with it" is appended to the discussion with more relevant information.

Would having a thumbs down emoji/emoteicon with a large counter vastly overwhelming the tbumbs up one be something anyone could argue with any credibility as censorship?
Look at Göbekli Tepe as well. The general trend seems to be pushing human history back, which makes sense as the human species has existed in its near modern form for quite a bit longer than the history we know. There is no reason to believe these ancient humans lacked critical cognitive faculties that we have.

From what I've read of the debate on humans in North and South America, it seems that both sides are ignoring the possibility of multiple colonizations and that earlier colonizations may have either failed entirely or resulted in only very small populations in limited areas.

If genetic evidence suggests that Native Americans are descendants of a stock that migrated here around 10K years ago, maybe they were just a later migration that really "took" and expanded across the whole land mass (until Europeans).

Or maybe the newcomers or their diseases exterminated the existing indigenous peoples? Maybe the story of the last colonization of these lands has occurred multiple times? If so, we're really screwed when the extraterrestrials arrive.
This is closer to the truth. The internet’s main currency is attention. It is a sea of information and the only places that get noticed are the ones given attention to.

Mainstream media is in a feedback loop with the internet.
If I were AMD, I would've done just anything to prevent ARM going to a single vendor in their ecosystem, Nvidia particularly.
My understanding is it’s the little thrill your brain gets from the possibility of finding something super interesting. That’s the addicting piece. The gambling piece of it.

I read (or more likely heard on a podcast) about an experiment with mice and a food dispensing button. In one case, the button reliably dispensed food every time it was pressed. In the other case, sometimes the button wouldn’t work. The mice with the reliable button didn’t do anything odd. Whenever they were hungry, they would hit the button for some food. The mice with the unreliable button however would repeatedly hit the button, and they ended up being overweight.

My feeling is that if EVERYTHING on something like HN was super interesting, we’d only be here when we were up for some interesting reads. But the fact is, not everything is. But the possibility that something EXTRA interesting might pop up keeps us coming back in an addictive type of way.
No that's what it informally means. Technically, decades start on the first day of a ...0 year, so not all days are the start of a decade.
Fully paid, but it's a FAANG so that's not necessarily surprising.
The people don't really have that reach. Social media companies decide what messages are allowed, so only people the companies agree with have any reach on the platforms.

In effect, social media users are just acting as speechwriters for the companies' political views. They submit comments, and mods chosen by the company decide which comments are published. Or sometimes the company simply bans particular viewpoints.

What gets published on social media is increasingly company approved just like any other company's public messaging.
You can get USB audio dongles that have that. Which could then switch on the KVM instead.
Many animals have a hypothalamus. Love[1] is more complicated but in my experience well within the behavioural range of many mammals, and potentially some birds. If we count maternal love, we'd get just about all K-strategists.

Yes. This seems to be an escalation on all channels driven by internal US politics. My worry is that a Trump administration faced with loosing an election is willing to take too risky bets.
All these terms are too wide to describe one person's position on certain topic.
They could be anti-regulation in terms of "government influences who, how, when, where operates in some economy sector" as it leads to market capture and control of the regulatory organizations by the companies they were supposed to regulate, but pro-regulation in terms of trust-busting companies having above-government power, like it happened to Rockefeller's "Standard Oil".
As always in discussions of "types of people" it's more nuanced than this.

Someone can be both aggressively conformist over some issues (and towards some groups) and aggressively independent over others.

In fact if you picture a stereotypical conspiracy-minded alt-right individual then the exhibit both behaviours at the same time about the same group. (individualist) "I won't do x because the government tells me I should" and (conformist) "How dare those liberals in my town break the social conventions I feel strongly about!"

It's not hard to come up with an equivalent caricature for the left.

Every time you read a way of dividing the world into types - think of an example of someone who is multiple types. It's very easy in nearly all cases.
The first part of this essay reminded me of the D&D alignment system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_%26_Dragon...
I think most of the times it's just to see if the Address is actually used..then sell it as an active email-address.
It does seem like Intel is failing on many fronts in recent years.

Totally broken Power Management on Latops (that's why I got AMD-based laptop and am very happy with this).

Problems with wifi and bluetooth chips.

Lost the anti-trust lawsuit to AMD.

Not so good performance compared to recent AMD.

And from what I heard even in industrial fields they are a lot of complaints lately.

Even Apple is leaving Intel.

Not to mention spectre/meltdown fiasco back then.
You'll never succeed without making the home page just the actual content like Twitter, Reddit, etc. Show people WHY they want to sign up, and they'll find the sign up link, don't hide the value proposition behind an email form.
I might have misunderstood you.

In that case: have my apology and also know that I misunderstood you (and in that case: still don't understand you despite trying), so a little clarification might be helpful if you care :-)
Building the ultimate home office again
Yeah the social thing is real. But the relentless need for currency? It feels more like a disease than an evolution.
It's just because it's text. If we could see the faces of some people while they mouthed off on their deranged rant, we'd all politely turn back to whatever better conversation we were having, and chuckle...It's just because the genre of "text" puts everyone on the same volume and medium/timbre/character (fading doesn't really alter this).

Crazy rants that would not get a word in edge wise ordinarily, get to take full spectrum bandwidth. Probably, just like this comment will seem to some people. You don't need much empathy, social acuity and awareness yo shout at the top of your ... fingertips on a forum. But to get the attention of a room of smart people in real life....you need a lot more skill. Text reduces everyone's utterances to the same medium background......it's sad. Sad that internet is 31 years old....but we don't have a richer way for people to talk toghether.

Funnily enough, maybe THIS startup, is doing something toward that.
The cheapest alternative has to be to ask the users where they are and store it on the user device? I never understood the need for geoip unless you ship spyware.

If the exact location is important geoip is not accurate enough anyway. Forwarding to regional sites automatically is just annoying when it doesn't work properly or someone is traveling abroad.
Here in Zurich this is really well done - I just wished we did it more back home in the UK too.

Small businesses, e.g. coffee shops, hairdressers and florists occupy the bottom floors, and accountants and dentists the upper floors.

It keeps a nice mix of building use and means some services are nicely scattered throughout the city.
Technically? It can easily handle thousands of requests a second.
Budgeting Application
The book Range talks about a similar idea, the idea of "kind" and "wicked" learning environments.

In kind environments (most games) "patterns recur, situations are constrained, and importantly, every time you do something you get feedback that is totally obvious, all the information is available, the feedback is quick, and it is 100% accurate"

In contrast, wicked environments (most of the rest of life!!!) none of the properties of kind environments hold, and in some extreme cases the feedback teaches you the exact wrong lesson.

In the book, he similarly warns against taking the lessons from successful people in chess or golf and applying them to our own wicked lives.
That would imply that not all decades are 10 years long, sice there was no year 0.
Hear hear. There are very few reasons I'd ever want to set foot in an office building again and at the moment I can't even think of a single one.

Just because some people like working from home or some like being in an office, doesn't mean you have to force it upon everyone.

Yes, that's precisely the issue with American towns, and detailed in the article. Half parking is not an exaggeration - Walmart in my hometown is a three-acre store with 600 parking places. This is not unusual - the Home Depot is similar. burger king is similar - more parking than space inside. The houses bring down the average. Lawns are in addition to this. It's hard to overstate exactly how sprawled the median American town newer than 1950 is, where you do have entire subdivisions without a single store. Sometimes multiple subdivisions in a row. No thought is given to community.

The article is calling for the exact type of mixed zoning you're familiar with - occassional shops mixed in with the houses. It's not like that, but it should be.
But you still need stuff to be delivered, which means they have your name and address, along with contact information, which can be used to match your purchase history,

Yes. I like this. Now, how to resolve it?
I think "Uncle Tom" might fit here. Its clearly designed to target Black Men acting a certain way just like "Karen" is targeting White Women acting a certain way.
And now you actually CAN move due to a new future work from home freedom.
Agreed, treating log events as a string seems like throwing a lot of readily available information away. There's various logging libraries which do allow more structure but too often this is ignored.

I think we got some of this right in the standard Julia logging frontend. We allow the user to attach arbitrary key value pairs (name=data) to the event, and also automatically attach some statically known context such as source location.

(The loggers are also dynamically scoped to the task, which has several good properties. For example it gives great control over attaching context known by the caller to the callee's messages and over dynamically routing or filtering messages. Sort of like MDC but more convenient.)
I dunno, the idealized Uber driving career sounds like something a student could do as a side job. That's how IIRC Uber started off as, but it quickly became a more-than-full-time job for a lot of people.
It has always been. That’s why it’s called “News” not “Olds”. Getting access to the most up to date information about the world has always been compelling. Whether it’s where the best hunting or foraging grounds were, who is in a relationship to who, or which person/people are attacking our tribe. It’s all the same now.

Aggregators like people who are gossips, newspapers and now social media are all attention based. Even the structure of writing of news stories to give you the main story in the headline, then start with the conclusion and fill in the details has been making this type of information bite sized from the dawn of time.

And now of course our “news” is global, often the stories about people are not people actually in our lives (Royals? Celebrities, who cares?), and politics have cranked us vs them to 11. No wonder it’s addictive.

Add in complicated feelings that we want to avoid (how bout that pandemic?) and looking at new information also serves as a distraction from the things we can or cannot change in our lives.

Be well weary news consumer. Get off your phone and enjoy nature.
I think the whole package has been made in a such a way that it's addictive .. It's just another product being sold in the market ..
I agree. I find slack/zoom to be a terrible replacement for the old casual/impromptu/hallway conversations. Sometimes the best information is learned in those formats.
That's like saying that after you start an engine it's idling for a while and consuming very little, if you could just get you your destination while it's still idling you could save so much fuel.

You opponent will not wait for you to bend the rules a few times before they react unless the first bend knocks them out. Pushing people off the fighting surface might work once, maybe twice. If that's the only weapon in a fighter's arsenal I see a fractured skull in their immediate future. :)
Oh, the downvotes are one thing - and I fully concur that many times, individuals espouse points of view that do not gel with the mainstream narrative - and that is what the downvotes indicate - not necessarily whether someone is 'true' or not, but whether their position is agreed upon by the mainstream masses.

But that's not what happens. Get downvoted too much, and you will get the dang hammer brought down on you, and its back to a rate limited life of communication for you.

This is the danger of the collective reality. It isn't always the truth - but rather, what everyone thinks the truth is, and we can see time and again just how wrong collectivity can be through history.
Either that or it means that the first nine years were not part of any decade.
Correct. Florida has 3 of the top 10 by enrollment. UCF, UF, FIU, and USF. Georgia made the list, go dawgs.
I think generally speaking people actively avoid walking on country lanes unless there's absolutely no other way of completing the journey. Some are extremely dangerous with sporadic, fast moving traffic (60mph limit on single lane roads with no pavements or usable siding whatsoever - and people will speed on top of that) and often extremely low visibility turns. 16% of pedestrian deaths sounds quite low until you factor in that most people simply don't use them as pedestrians - in a more extreme way, only 1% of pedestrian deaths occur on motorways but that in no way makes them suitable for walking on.
Exactly. It works. Takes balls not to touch things that work.
There will be doubling down on creating new enemies, until everybody burns, unless people wise up fast.
With the trajectory of this and the previous one, it honestly feels like we're only a handful of steps from praising the Intellectual Dark Web(tm) and saying that Charles Murray was misunderstood.
I think the biggest issue with formal verification, is that you need to rewrite the important parts of your code in (for example) TLA+. If it's integrated into the language, like ADA Spark, you don't need to learn so much additional syntax or rewrite parts of your codebase in a language you rarely use (given that you already work in ADA).
I kind of ignored that line because I don't know if I can trust the UN.

A somewhat related problem is that overseas regions (at least for France) are handled as different countries. It makes sense for a CDN, but for most other purposes when I use Internet when I'm on Réunion island my country is "FR", not "RE", since RE is not actually a country. It's also quite inconsistent, I've tried with several IPs from Réunion and some of them are FR while the others are RE.

It doesn't seem to have the same problem with Hawaii for some reason, they're all just US from what I can see.

When you encounter things you don't understand in complex engineering it's not unwise to copy them because you are either copying a harmless mistake, irrelevant appendix type feature or it's a key feature you don't yet understand.
It can be put simply like where the struggle for rich kids start; that is the zenith of success for poor kids.
Is thinking that everything is a Silicon Valley thing, a Silicon Valley thing? Is it really plausible that no one thought to feel manly about cold showers until a bunch of nerds came along?

Do you not realize how ridiculous this statement is? Apple knows what CPU models are going into their laptops, they could properly design hardware and software to prevent overheating and degradation.
