The problem with that is that many of these projects are production-ready enough and end up being used in pretty big projects because the alternative is starting from scratch or using an inferior solution. Because they're eternally under v1.0, APIs break and so the package never gets updated in production.
Are we worry about fab or google because of their ranking system? What tik tok can do is they can change the flip to send info over to their choices. That is the same as 5G. It is not what it does today but it can do on the next software or firmware upgrade will. The regime is so different it is a war our there already. Just you cannot see gunshot in software. But you can see casualties at least like HONG kong.
I am still upset about Google Wave.

So ahead of its time! I have never understood why that got the axe, it took everything they where doing great at that time (chat, video, email, and the newish At the time G suite apps (called something else then) and just meshed them together in a surprisingly useful and pleasant way. Also the whiteboard features were really good particularly for it’s time.

This Mashable article does a good job explaining it in more detail[0]

I can’t believe it to this day they couldn’t figure it out. It was very ahead of its time

I'm wondering this as well. If the content in the parentheses is given by a human to aid learning, I think it's a really interesting approach. If not, then what he has archived there is just scary.

Nobody said you get to pay below market rate. See how many appear if you offer a salary above it.
HotSpot is a fork of strongtalk, which did the same thing and in fact invented the techniques you're talking about (ie. creating fake backing types for untyped code and optimistically inlining those with bounces out to the interpreter on failures, perhaps keeeping several copies around and swapping out the entry in the inline cache).

Additionally that functionality has been added to over time with the invokedynamic byte code and it's optimizations.
> to Gorbachev disrupted the already weak growth.

"Disrupted" is a bad word to use here, it's like saying a surgeon "disrupted" a body of a dying patient. Gorbachev had no choice - the Soviet economics was dying. There are many books and doctoral theses written by now about how exactly and why it happened, but what you describe as "slower but still growth" was the process of slow economic collapse. Nothing worked properly by the time he took over, basically. He tried to deliver some CPR and defibrillation by introducing sort of NEP 2.0 (hey, it worked for Lenin!), and "acceleration", and "perestroyka" - but it was way too late. By then, the collapse was inevitable.

And it's not like the top Party functionaries didn't know that - they were aware of it in the early 80s (in 1984 they started introducing kinda sorta markets between state enterprises - see Khozraschyot) and by the late 80s they were in panic - that's why Gorbachev had to "disrupt". Because they had to do something to try and save the collapsing economy. Unfortunately for them it was impossible.
Interesting, but the SpaceX Starship/Falcon Heavy, which will start flying in a few years, will be able to do this a thousand times better.
"Should" is not "will." Companies will profit from vaccines and world powers will fight for exclusive access to them.

Moderna intends to profit from a vaccine, should theirs prove successful (that is, they will not sell it at cost).[1]

The US has already made efforts to buy up a vaccine supply and withhold it from other nations.[2]

From the perspective of an iPhone user, Apple does a reasonable job of keeping nefarious apps out of the app store (not prefect, maybe not even great, but reasonable). Most apps that have a set price and not a subscription are reasonably priced and one does not feel/notice that Apple takes a 30% cut. The end user experience is reasonable.

I feel like getting rid of the app store, or even just allowing side loading, would open users up to a lot of nefarious software.

If we assume that consumers like the App store and that its not going away, how do we satisfy developers but allow consumers the comfort of the walled garden?
I have heard that, and I don't know the full detail. But I'm sure it was used as a political pawn to ensure that pension costs wouldn't fall on taxpayers later like other agencies, and that USPS wouldn't be able to expand and incur costs / hire people willy-nilly like it otherwise would.

What we need is for some leaders to figure out what they want the USPS to be. And fund it that way.
Hum... What exactly did you expect?

It has a simple stochastic model and some statistics for verifying if the real world agrees with it. You are deluding yourself if you think one can study economics without advanced statistics.
Looks like the original tweet may be incorrect according to replies on there, or at least this doesn’t apply to every app, for example: https://mobile.twitter.com/LittleFinLLC/status/1288570444417...

No, I'm asking why it would be structured like that. It seems like an open invitation to just raid and squander it.

If you took the same amount of money you could, just as an example, permanently endow a professional educator for every 20 births, which begins paying off right away, instead of decades later.

The idea that they could make less than 100% of the money that they "make" under these terms reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bill Gates "buys out" Homer's fake business Hyperglobalmeganet.

I actually find the exercise on this TheirTube thing to be utterly useless. It has a real world validity on par with lie detectors and homeopathy.

A person, or group of people, set up this site and built YouTube profiles on what they think people in these categories are like. Then they use those profiles to show "what these people see". The problem is few actual, real individuals match these caricatures. The people that built this site aren't "them", except within a limited one of the presented profiles or two. My only hope is that nobody tries to build an argument around the outcomes of this exercise.

I think if anything is to be learned, it's the biases and preconceptions of the people that built the site moreso than anything about how YouTube builds recommendations... re-enforcing or otherwise (and I'm no fan of YouTube recommendations, either).

Definitely a pretty surprising announcement for most, who haven't heard of Kodak in years, aside from perhaps their bankruptcy and delisting earlier this decade.

Interestingly enough there was apparently quite a bit of information leaked on this yesterday, which is why the stock spiked yesterday as well, prior to today's announcement. (e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/comments/hyxxce/kodak_k... or https://mobile.twitter.com/Eric05205725/status/1287866490000...)
I wish I had had your luck with language servers. They are fantastic when they work but in my experience configuring them is finicky and difficult, particularly with Emacs. I have also run into problems where the server crashes and does not restart itself, so the IDE functionality in my editor will just silently break and I have to go fix it. JetBrains still dominates the market for IDEs that work out of the box, and I still don't know of any LSPs that can even remotely compete with the sophistication of their static analysis tools and such.
That’s the problem with paid apps... but I also believe now it’s a problem with devs not validating the app receipt to check for refunds and prevent access.

For in-app purchases, up until a few years ago, users would always have access to them (even after a refund) then it followed the same rules as paid apps - access always maintain but one couldn’t restore.

Subscriptions however are unique as a server would constantly check the receipt from Apple, which would show a refund flag, so you could block access. Now they even send you a push notification to your server to indicate a refund.

With iOS 14, in-app purchases will get a “notification” when a user receives a refund on device (with IAP encompassing subscriptions).

So it’s getting better. Not perfect. But better.
chrome's bookmarks aren't available to me across browsers, and I can't use tags to search them. They don't load any faster than Pinboard's either (which is kinda mind-boggling).

not having them across browsers makes them a non-starter (ditto for Firefox plugins)

Not having them across accounts makes them a non-starter (work account vs personal account).

Not being able to tag them and thus find the thing that i remember the associated categories / taxonomy of but not the specific name of is a non starter. With tags i can say "it was a thing that ... was in ...Go, and ... did something with the cli and...." and have a list of viable things. Doing that with just google is searching for a needle in a haystack. In those case I'm searching for a needle in a handful of hay, on a nice clean desk.
The comparison to ".d.ts" seems apt since both are languages/grammars focused solely on declaring types. How they are interpreted is a different matter of course. TypeScript assumes they are strict declarations of the JavaScript code, while Steep/Sorbet will use the declarations to type check your code.

In your example you would get a type checker error.

For the final project of the multimedia information retrieval class in my CS Master's I'm doing something similar.

The goal is to predict depth maps from single-view pictures using CNNs. But how to gather input, output pairs to train them?

I'm not done yet so I can't tell you the results, but it's a fun project.

XML is a document mark-up language, which was repurposed as a data exchange format and configuration format. A mistake in both cases.

JSON is a data exchange format which is sometimes used as a configuration format, also a mistake.

Will we go full circle and start using a configuration language for data exchange or mark-up? TOML APIs?
Mac lets you reinstall the OS from the recovery partition without losing data

My point is that imposing a big ass type system on developers as a "solution" to a trivial number of actual problems is overkill.

I'm sure there are developer/projects that both enjoy and benefit from static typing and strict type systems of various kinds. I just want Ruby to remain a place for those of us who aren't in those positions.

Type annotations aren't inline in all languages. If you're writing Haskell or Elm, as a few examples, then you get static types without having to write them out and if you do write them out they sit above the function that uses them.
I think that most people in the lower 50% wage bracket do not have a mortgage. People in the lowest 20% don't even have a credit card, probably.

The answer is still likely: Debt. When we take out sovereign debt it increases cost of living, and usually the way that sovereigns typically use that debt is via payouts to contractors, which does not go to the bottom 50%, except perversely via trickle-down effects. If you look at the "socialist" countries that have low poverty rates, typically they also have low rates of sovereign borrowing (think Norway, Sweden, and Denmark).
I don't think it's that simple.

You're not free from all retaliation, especially if those laws are only in specific cases.

For example, there are laws for retaliation, even. You can say whatever you want, but if that speech happens to be untrue and directed at some party you could be subject to a defamation suit. That is not the government punishing you for your speech, but it is a legal retaliation for what was said.
I second that. The RCTs get discussed most often. But what was eye-opening for me were their observations on how poor people manage the few resources they have matching the infrastructure they can access – like investing in bricks (Ch8)

"people who get brain surgery from him" - the tweet doesn't say from him.

"since Elon Musk told Jay Clayton of the SEC to" - he didn't say it to Jay Clayton.

"since Elon Musk promised to get rid of most possessions" - he didn't promise anything.

"since Elon Musk promised to produce ventilators at the SpaceX factory" - saying SpaceX is 'working on venitilators' is not any such promise.

"Elon Musk assured parents that" - there is no context about "assuring parents", he was justifying a previous prediction.

"since Elon Musk advised consumers that Teslas can safely function as a boat for short periods of time" - the Tweet doesn't say "safely" it came with a video on escaping a sinking car by rolling down the window, and he's saying the electronics are water-sealed and it won't lose power to a blocked air intake (like an ICE vehicle).

"since Elon Musk offered a chance to fly to Mars and work off the price of the ticket with a Mars job" - nope, since Elon Musk said "the goal needs to be such that anyone can go, with loans available" in the context of "how will people be chosen to go to Mars".

> Most vendors are wary about automatically applying updates which revoke keys used for Secure Boot. Existing SB-enabled software installations may suddenly refuse to boot altogether, unless the user is careful to also install all the needed software updates as well. Dual-boot Windows/Linux systems may suddenly stop booting Linux. Old installation and live media will of course also fail to boot, potentially making it harder to recover systems.

That means: with Secure Boot enabled, once the machine's firmware is updated, all currrently existing Linux install media will stop working. Users have to either wait for new install media to be released, or disable Secure Boot. At least it's still possible to disable Secure Boot, or enroll your own keys; will that still be the case once x86 CPUs start being replaced with ARM CPUs? IIRC, Microsoft requires that systems with ARM CPUs not allow disabling Secure Boot or enrolling your own keys (https://www.softwarefreedom.org/blog/2012/jan/12/microsoft-c...).

Exactly. And it would be nice if people were just upfront about that instead of making it out to be a one-sided moral quandary.

I don't have a dog in the two countries' tech tussle and so I'm bemused at the expectation that I should take a side (it's also interesting that many people that I've spoken to don't recognise that using US tech is picking a side).
They stopped doing it for new customers in 2017. Grandfathered customers saw the policies change in March of this year.

Blender wouldn’t really replace any of their existing software though. It’s not really a competitor for Houdini or Katana. Maybe Maya at some point but good luck getting the modellers and animators to switch.

Also, I somehow didn't realize that you could buy what appears to be a new 68000, and for $8.95 (https://www.jameco.com/shop/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&l...). In my defense, last time I searched it wasn't obvious, mostly because nobody labels it as a "68000"; it's a 68HC000P-12, which only in the details is listed as a "6800" (sic) family - I assume that's just a typo. And to be fair, I'm sure most people looking for a 68000-series know how to look for it; it's like expecting people to know that a 80486 is an x86 usually called a 486. Just a bit of friction for a newbie.

Censorship by moderators are beyond the algorithms. Their algorithms and moderators censored Tiananmen Square, Tibetan independence, Falun Gong [0], Uighur sympathizer [1], Hong Kong protests [2], and (as another commenter points out) the ugly, poor, or disabled [3].

Their moderation guidelines banned contents “endangering national security” or deemed “uglification or distortion of local or other countries’ history” [4].

From where? It's not a quote from the article.
I have nothing against making certain content unavailable to nonsubscribers. You can even pick, say, three articles a day to be free and put the rest behind a paywall. You can also block every article and make a short summary available for free.

What I have an objection to is the fact that current paywalls give everyone different free content every day--thus when an article is shared to nonsubscribers they can't actually finish it--and they don't find out until they've already started. All because they've already read their free 3 articles of the month. If it was 1-2 articles free daily, I'd probably have less problems with it than 5-10 per month. I don't usually read any of their articles at all on any given day, and my average would probably stay the same.
I don't understand how grouped testing makes any sense when such a large percentage of individual tests come out positive.

I mean, if you group 10 samples from a test center, what's the probability of one of them being positive? Isn't it close to 1.0?
I once worked for a fortune 500 that blocked all but a few unix sysadmins from executing shell commands on prod servers.

So far, so good.

The issue was that the “sysadmins” knew almost nothing about how anything worked, so the procedure was that the devs would give them commands to type and they would just type them in to a terminal.

Of course, if anything went wrong, or was ambiguous, the dev would need to check on it, and would end up standing next to the “sysadmin”’s desk and just telling them which characters to type. I once had to explain what a pipe character was...

Anyway, the end result was that all of the devs had prod access, they just had a very slow interface to it.
Which happens to be what the actual article does as well!
