Pavel Fatin’s tests agree with you — search for “Editor latency in Windows (text file)” on this page: https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/

Interestingly gvim had the lowest latency in this test. I wonder if that’s a side effect of it being written largely in C (Sublime Text uses a proprietary cross-platform C++ framework).
> Real-life VMs don’t interpret, they JIT compile.

Pretty much every real-life JavaScript VM is tiered, and has an interpreter, which gathers data about expected usage which the JIT will use to inform its optimizations when it goes to generate machine code.

Still, you'd be surprised about the performance you can get out of a basic interpreter. Games have used Lua for years. I've written and reverse engineered plenty of custom bytecode for various reasons in the games space. It's a useful tool to have, and there are a lot of situations where performance either isn't the goal, or the large amount of tricks used by JITting VMs isn't helpful.

The dispatch loop you point to is just about using a C extension (computed gotos) to gain a few extra performance points. You can learn about it in about 30 minutes after knowing what a VM is.
Reminds me when we were implementing Bitnami's OpenEdx and it was crashing due to a Python file importing newrelic (reporting SDK of that product) but it was not installed. Seems they didnt test that release ran at all.
Yes, unemployment is 1 - employed / (employed + looking for work), "looking for work" is really hard to measure objectively (changing a word or order of words in the question asked in the survey change it by quite a bit).

employed in a given group / total population of a given group is more objective. There's still a bit of hacking of this one with for example "non institutionalized population" excluding people in jail (not negligible in the USA)

https://www.census.gov/glossary/#term_Civiliannoninstitution...

What baffles me is that there's no deep study of the "inactive" population, while the number of inactive has been raising continously for a few decades now in the USA, yellow line here:

Understanding what the inactive are doing is probably key to understand current time (un)employment.
I never fact checked that movie on its critiques of wind and solar. Though I’ve seen some reports that would partly corroborate some of thrust of their claims elsewhere. I doubt it’s as black and white as they put it.

That said it annoyed me that the movie spent a lot of time in Vermont and not once acknowledge that Vermont gets 70% of its electricity from clean nuclear power at the Vermont Yankee plant. And this particular plant is targeted for shutdown by environmental groups for a long time. This contradiction needs to be seriously dealt with and was ignored by the movie.

The movie really basically boiled down to wind/solar is a scam and we can’t possibly think of any other solution (cough nuclear cough) so we need to reduce our use magically and oh I guess somehow tell the rest of the developing world to stop developing. This doesn’t work. It’s not a solution.
This is a byproduct of the engineering culture being co-opted by the cult of agile.

For some domains, the 80% solution is perfectly fine to launch with. For others, it is quite sloppy and you end up with paper cuts in normal use. Problems arise when you, as a consumer of a library, expect a 100% solution and discover it's only an 80% solution. Worse, most libraries do _not_ tell you what design decisions were made.
Well others have pushed back.

What I would like is for you guys to at least say this, instead of all the tiresome "freedom" stuff. Acceptance is the first step.
> but any time “exceptions can be made in an emergency”, that is a sign that an experience can, albeit maybe with considerable pain, be made asynchronous.

It's not a question of whether or not something could possibly be made asynchronous. Most things could be made asynchronous with enough investment of time, money, energy, and staff.

The real question is what are the tradeoffs and what are the consequences. If the RC is trying to build a community, making the group orientation asynchronous wouldn't have the same effect.

Having a true emergency is an entirely different situation than just sleeping in (OP admits he ignored the calendar invite because it was at 7:15AM). In a true emergency, people are usually willing to go out of their way to make exceptions. When someone simply ignores e-mails and sleeps in, it's not fair to ask other people to go above and beyond to cater to that person.

Apples and oranges.

Launch HN: RoundOf – bannerfree Doodle like webapp with Stripe integration
RoundOf (https://www.roundof.app) is a very simple banner-free Doodle-like webapp which integrates with Stripe to collect the participation fees from participants.

No signup/credit card is required to try it out!

After giving the event title and participation fee (plus a bounce of other options), you can select (from a week or a month calendar) a range of possible dates and share the generated event link online.

People interested in participating can reserve their spot by selecting their favorite dates among the available ones. If a participation fee is required they will be asked for credit card data through Stripe. No participation fee will charged until the minimum number of participants is reached and the event is confirmed

Once all the spots are filled for a certain date you will be notified and can confirm the event, thus collecting the participation fees, which will be directly transferred to your Stripe account.

The app will charge a fee of 0.5%+50 cents (and Stripe fees) for every paying participant.

I developed the current MVP in less than 10 days using Bootstrap and Django on Pythonanywhere.

I really have no idea, especially in this very covid-19 times, if anyone will find it ever useful. Still I liked the idea, found nothing like it online and thought to give it a try with a simple MVP to see what happen.

Thank you in advance for any comment/feedback/suggestion, especially regarding possibile holes/security issues which I could overseen.

Obviously, one can do music creation and audio processing in a browser.

The parameters that matter are what N is in the "N msecs" I mentioned above, how much audio (e.g. tracks) and how much processing (i.e. DSP).

When you make N small enough, make the track count large enough, and do enough DSP, it's never going to work inside a browser (it sometimes won't work outside the browser).

If N is large enough, the track count small enough and/or there's not too much DSP going on .... have fun!

Comparing high quality meat with a highly processed "meat alternative" shouldn't be judge on taste, and they're not comparable otherwise.

Beyond Meat burger ingredients:
Water, Pea Protein*, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Refined Coconut Oil, Rice Protein, Natural Flavors, Cocoa Butter, Mung Bean Protein, Methylcellulose, Potato Starch, Apple Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Vinegar, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Sunflower Lecithin, Beet Juice Extract (for color).

Many of these things are not good for many people, and many if not the majority of people aren't connected to their body properly, conditioned by ego mind disconnecting them. Personally I can't do pea protein, canola oil, coconut oil, rice, bean, potato, apple, vinegar, lemon, or lecithin. Those all agitate my GI tract causing different levels of discomfort or pain.

What you find in meat however is the same as what's naturally in humans, it's the animal concentrating the plants they eat into nutrients, protein, etc - and high fat red meat like beef has exactly what your body and brain needs and in the right portions.

I'm not trying to argue it's not possible to make a comparable option, however it's highly unlikely. I do wonder if a cultured meat substitute is possible as well, as the highest quality meat are from animals in their natural environment under natural environmental stress conditions, it's more likely to create a comparable product though; getting cost down and texture will be the biggest challenges.

Well, that depends. Software [licenses] has different price in the world, adapted to the local market. Hardware as well, but the lowest margin on hardware is simply higher than software. Especially state of the art. So the amount of people running around with a new iPhone in Serbia or India is, percentage-wise, simply lower than in USA. Yet, yes, they all use a browser on their devices. And they all have a legal license. Many people in poorer countries also pay with a different currency: privacy and security. Think Android, think out-of-date devices (older Android and iPhone devices).
Good caveat there.

Then you may have to question "lower unemployment is better": for example is the explanation for the France/USA unemployment difference that more USA people have completely given hope of finding a work and are rejected by society?

In the media it's always "super high unemployment in old Europe, super good low unemployment in the USA".
I'm working on a project called The People's Devs about doing pro bono dev work for social justice groups or organizations. Currently it's just me helping my art studio build an app to help artists and those struggling to get funding for housing and supplies. Haven't been sure how to scale and get more people, but I'm hoping it'll grow organically over time rather than chasing specific types of devs or organizations.
It's absurd I have to reply with this: Climate change continues to be seen as debatable because climate change models keep being corrected past the degree of correction most people understand invalidates similar models in other fields of science.

So, using a pharmaceutical as an example: If Pfizer published findings that stated an HBP pill permanently reduced blood pressure by a specific amount after 60 days, then four years later came out and corrected that to 10 days, most people would be concerned that the extra 50 days of treatment carried significant risk of lowering blood pressure too far, and would ask whether Pfizer did enough to prevent such a significant risk of lowering blood pressure too far. And almost everyone would be more cautious about taking other Pfizer medications. Makes sense, right?

That's what people do with climate science models in the general public. When someone asserts confidence in a model one year then publishes a significant correction to that model the next, skepticism over the integrity of all of their models is reasonable. If they messed up so bad here, we need to know whether it's isolated in scope.

That said, the entire model was about speed. No one inferred a general direction of decline. They asserted high confidence in a model that, given additional data, completely changed. There is a rule of logic in data that as new records are added, each record becomes an increasingly smaller proportion of the overall dataset, and save for extreme anomalies, the expected rate of change for the model given each additional record declines on a curve. That is why random sampling of a population is used instead of the population. After a certain number of records, the relevance of any N new records are insignificant to the output. If the addition of new data completely threw off their model, even as a time series, they're overfitting or underfitting, but either way, they are not going to be trusted as a source of reliable information.

What I'm saying is we need to stop doing that. If we talk about the models as just being marginally accurate, we're more likely to stem attempts to debate the entirety of climate science. Regardless of how smart or stupid you think those who debate climate change are, they do influence barriers to act.

Pioneer is better in the way that they actively seek to promote to the point of evangelizing and support the founders of what they classify as promising up-starts (top 1% or otherwise) using metrics they measure.

Startup school is more hands-off than Pioneer. The latter gamifies building a product that might motivate people and create a sense of achievement. The former is more on-your-own kind of a thing.

That said, I haven't been through a Pioneer program myself but know founders who have and liked it.
Two of our founders, (we were seven, 2xSE, 1xUK, 2xUS, 2xNL) where based in NL. They also had great connections to the government in NL that supported us to get started. And we were initially part of a project which was based in the NL.

I enjoy the lightweight web too, but I want to stress that that's not what I'm advocating for here. You can't simply expect the population at large (or perhaps more importantly, the corporate community at large) to seismically shift the way they're doing things for the sake of web idealism. You have to meet them where they are. What I'm talking about is finding a pragmatic way to do that.
Right now, they are not.
I like the comparison to Bell Labs and Xerox PARC. Like those organizations, Mozilla was being kept alive by corporate money (primarily Google's) and never developed the ability to be a sustainable business on its own.

Something like 70% of all CVEs in C++ applications (including browsers--the actual type of application doesn't seem to matter much) are memory safety issues. Yet the myth persists that memory safety isn't an important bug class for stuff written in modern C++. I think the converse is true: most C++ programmers tend to significantly underestimate the number of remaining bugs in their code that are memory safety bugs.

Serious question: How do you know you're good at behavioral interviews? Have you ever seen the feedback written on a behavioral interview? The companies you're describing don't usually give out feedback to applicants, so you can't know, right?

It sounds to me like you have anxiety. I'm saying this because I have anxiety, so I know what it's like. One hallmark of anxiety disorders is that you think things are true about the world, even though you don't actually have evidence this is the case. Or, you fixate on some pieces of information while ignoring evidence to the contrary, which again is irrational thinking. Or you hold assumptions about how the world works that aren't proven. You should look into cognitive behavioral therapy as a potential solution.

You say "compared to everyone else". But, you have to acknowledge that the net worth and income numbers you named put you into the 99th percentile, right? So, you actually mean "compared to a very small subset of people I have failed", right? And this is just a completely irrational argument. I mean according to this vein of thinking, then since I don't have as much money as Jeff Bezos, I've failed. And the implication then is the whole world has failed. Right?

OP is correct assuming "dual" is defined as all the linear functionals on a space. The dual of an infinite-dimensional space in this sense always has larger dimension than the original space.

The difference comes in that for Hilbert spaces, "dual" is usually taken to mean only the continuous linear functionals.

Yes, and I replied to that. The used materials are changing. The hard ones for lithium chemistries are being replaced and there are more storage technologies than lithium.

> Meat-heavy diets not only risk our health

That meat is bad for our health is a myth perpetuated by the health industry, as well as by bad research that isn't accounting for processed meat vs. high quality unprocessed meat, nor do the studies account for confounding factors like other unhealthy food that many meat eaters eat.

Dr. Georgia Ede is someone to look up on YouTube who's been spending her time debunking bad research on meat.

> but that of the planet, as livestock farming on a massive scale destroys habitats and generates greenhouse gases.

Monocultures are really terrible, and based on the latest thought leaders and their knowledge, the trend needs to move towards allowing animals to roam the land again - which helps aerate and maintain the quality of soil.

My guess for future is free-roaming animals in their natural habitat, and vertical farming for vegetables, etc.
