What I'd really like is a multiprocess safe embeddable database written in pure Go. So a database which is safe to read and write from separate processes.

Unfortunately I don't think this one is multiprocess safe.
This is vital to understand for anyone who thinks they know what's going on at Portland, and - on a broader scale - most current events. There is a massive polarization of who consumes which facts, and this is simply an encoding of that: a drip-feed of exactly what one group of people wish to see.
I can recommend Steermouse[0]. It gave me control over the upper buttons on my Kensington Slimblade
Seconding this. It's a very clean and accessible overview. If the code examples in it were your only exposure to C++ you'd never guess how much of a mess things can turn into "out there" in the wild.
I highly recommend OneRep (https://onerep.com/) as a service to remove you from these websites. I've been using it myself for a while and it has saved me a lot of headache.

For those of you who do want to remove all of the info yourself, I've found this is also a good resource: https://inteltechniques.com/data/workbook.pdf
> make up for the latency hit from not being able to directly stack allocate things

Java does better than direct stack allocation - it does automatic scalar replacement instead.
I've always been embarrassed that spelling bees are a thing in English. It's interesting that you can see the etymology of a word in its spelling, but horrific spelling sure is a barrier to literacy. How do you pronounce "lough"? How about "rough" or "dough"? And "plough"? Now try "hiccough".

I envy Finnish kids. They've already mastered the grammar and are well on their way with the vocabulary. Spelling is barely a speed bump. English speakers have national competitions to demonstrate that they've mastered spelling.
Bret, notably, lives in Portland, and has been making direct observations about these events for a while.

I'm looking forward to reflection and executors in 23. Then it will basically be the most powerful language. With compile-time reflection, you could add whatever language feature you want--almost as powerful as Common Lisp macros.
Having done a fair share of media work on and in German protests myself: the biggest problem is that video evidence can and will be used by cops to go after activists - and that includes material from way outside a riot scene, given that police also look for such tiny details as shoes to (attempt to) identify people. The people at such events have something to lose: careers, families, friendships, years behind bars.

In contrast, in countries like Turkey, Belarus or other dictatorships, where the fear is getting killed regardless of protests, the situation is different - people on these protests want their faces to become public so that they cannot be "disappeared".
Not sure if easy to embed, but Consul does offer strong consistency if explicitly configured.
Maybe it's just me, but if a programming language successfully pushes other languages to catch up or even outdo them in terms of language design, then I would not call that "losing". In the long run we all benefit from that.
I wrote a free book about this (no email wall, it's a Google Doc): www.productizeteam.co

I think being good at test taking correlates with perfectionism. The ones who test well but then stick to speakers of their native language may simply be perfectionists who are horrified at being seen as stupid when their English isn't perfect.
Three of three comments where you add the URL. It can quickly look like you only comment to self-advertise.
It appears that you have quite a few concepts completely mixed up.

I'm just going to leave it at collectivism != welfare state and xenophobia != racism. I'll allow you to do research on how such societies work.

Further, since you already color me liberal (which is incorrect), I can tell you are extremely biased in your perception of words. So feel free to take some classes in removing bias. It'll help.
I am stuck on the loading screen, first at 32/100% and now at 62/100%. Refreshed several times.
I wonder why this is the case. I also heard the software engineers are not considered "high status" as well in UK. Not sure in Europe (like Sweden, Germany, etc).
Python collapses the name of the module (usually the name of a file) and the name of the "namespace" on the importing side, while C++ modules add a level of indirection by specifying arbitrary namespaces for module content (independent of the name of the module).

Evidently, the complexity of finding the same namespace in multiple compilation units has been considered acceptable for C++ modules because it was already handled decently.

> Has anyone anything positive to say about C++

IMO, C++ has the following huge benefits.

1. Ambient performance. If you need a fast program and don't have a tight loop you can optimize, C++ makes ordinary behavior fast.

2. RAII is a very clean and understandable design paradigm.

3. The idiom of using "const" everywhere plus widespread copying of values makes "spooky action at a distance" way less common when doing OOP or imperative programming.
First I've seen this. I'm surprised, because alife was my obsession for pretty much the entirety of the 90's, and I recently have been taking courses through Santa Fe Institute that touch on the subject.

Thanks for the link!

Yeah its a trade-off between performance and convenience. One should know when to stop and how to slim down based on the usage. Often installing too many plugins when not using them is something that I have witnessed often with curious developers. While the real reason is installing too many plugins, the blame is on zsh ;)
The submission is about trying to draw in users for a meat-world social application during a pandemic.

In the sunscreen example, someone could absolutely be designing packaging, securing suppliers, building a workforce, etc, during the winter, but if they went to the door to door phase at the same time it would be a completely disastrous exercise. It was the door to door phase that I was comparing to.
I’m actually okay with this, unlike most of the other FCC regulations. Technology marches on. With OTT streaming solutions like Hulu Live TV, Sling TV, and Youtube Live, you’re not stuck with your cable provider and they all offer “cloud DVR”. Besides, for almost being everything but sports, you can watch On Demand.

Now they just need to get rid of data caps - AT&T doesn’t have them with their gigabit plans ($70/month), but most people with cable plans aren’t so lucky.
I am really curious what's the general opinion on Googler's as a web developer. I have seen a long while ago some nice articles from Google about site optimization.

Do they even follow any of their original advice or Google basically keep doing over engineered stuff fixed by adding another set of over engineered staff?

Let's talk gmail. I just refreshed the window and it did close to 400 request, ~8MB download which translates to nearly 40MB resource. And it keeps making more requests even when I'm not doing anything.

And a refresh of Google.com the search page did 33 request and nearly a MB download.

And they are preaching the world about optimizing the web?
Wow. PIPs should only be used when someone is underperforming so badly they are damaging the team (and the business) at that point you have nothing to lose if they voluntarily leave (which in fact, is probably better for everyone)

"what gets measured gets managed" is one of the reasons I don't like the usual metrics and performance reviews, but in the specific case of a PIP they are necessary. If someone meets the targets of the PIP but starts dropping other required behaviours then you just add that into the PIP to make sure they don't do that
If you spend any time on the Portland subreddit, you'll see plenty of stories and comments about how the city is just fine, and only Trump fans with an agenda push a "rioting and burning narrative". It's amazing watching hypocritical narrative control in action. These are the same people pushing for police body cameras.

I am not sure of the benefit of writing a critic on an ignored proposal from the late 1990s. DJB didn't modify anything going since the initial proposal had been updated little.

If course it has flaws, it was never a fully developed idea.
The alternative "Euclidean distance" is already half way there and is better since we at least know it's about "distance". At this point, offering any alternative will feel alien and unfamiliar, but "Linear distance" works for me if I feel the need to push Euclid out as well.

edit: If I want to talk about distance in a curved space, we already have a well named "Geodesic distance".
Did you read the news and comments when SpaceX did something ? I seen a lot of national pride, I think it is nomral that american citizens would feel pride(or some similar feeling) and I think Trump, Obama and other politicians had something to say. I expect now you will say that american pride is better then chinese pride, and somehow americans nationalistic feelings are superior to everyone else.

My point that started all this thread was that I hope China and US will both get better diplomats and for example we can have international space station on the Moon. And of course you can still have the big guys putting nukes and other secret shit in secret orbits if that is what makes military hard(I am disappointed that space and internet is considered as a military "domain" ).
No, it won't. Some of the managers for this file will overwrite it.

This isn't just limited to Portland but is becoming a general aspect of these protests now, e.g. here[1] was DC last night where a Washington Post reporter was hounded out of the protest and then followed by "minders" to prevent his return.

Protesters are now blocking media from filming their demonstration, shining lights into a reporter’s face, blocking shots with fans umbrellas and following like “minders” ... “We have our press we know and trust,” this young woman says

so you'd rather spend time hunting down which config file you've mangled to be incompatible every month? this is not a good solution.
> It is an opinion I share but disagreeing with the inclusion of politics into tech makes people believe you have taken the opposite stance.

The parent explicitly said they disagree with GitHub's political views. I take this to mean they in fact have taken the opposite stance.
I noticed it said this was from the National Review in small print.

I'm not saying this proves it's fake, but it raises doubt in my mind about how much it might be distorted or decontextualized since it's clearly right wing propaganda.

I followed a link to campusreform.org where I read:

"The radical left will stop at nothing to intimidate conservative students on college campuses"

The link to "further reporting" also goes to the National Review.

I think a reasonable person would need to read something that is not from a right wing extremist source to have an idea of what happened. If there is a link that I haven't noticed yet, maybe you or someone could post it.

As an aside, I almost think in the past week or two, I've noticed in general a lot of crap showing up in Yahoo news, as though they are a channel that's being exploited for not being as toxic a brand as many things.
This is an idea I had, an alternative to web bundles and solves the same issues.

Inside a HTML file, we introduce an attribute for embedded resources called cache=”identifier”. Script tags, style tags will have this attribute defined. There would also need to be an embedded image introduced. Inline all your resources.
The browser will fetch the HTML and add whatever has the cache=”identifier” to its cache.

Then when the browser fetches a page, it will send a Cache-Got header, this is a bloom filter serialized of identifiers cached.

The server will check the bloomfilter to see if an item needs to be sent to the client and exclude the contents of those embedded resources with an empty script tag or empty style tag.

EDIT: Why is this being downvoted?
Yes because heavy pages clog their crawlers. Of course they are not following their advice (neither does FB)
I think this is a really important perspective. Reporting of protests is not neutral, and neither is the police's response.
Fire me, it's a bit of a chore to mostly grip (apply forces in two ways with one hand) a vertical mouse for full fine control (rather than a regular mostly "push down"/hand rest grip).

Wikipedia says:

> A 2016 study shows that, in terms of basic everyday language, speakers of Maltese are able to understand around a third of what is said to them in Tunisian Arabic, which is a Maghrebi Arabic related to Siculo-Arabic, whereas speakers of Tunisian Arabic are able to understand about 40% of what is said to them in Maltese. This reported level of asymmetric intelligibility is considerably lower than the mutual intelligibility found between other varieties of Arabic.

Arabic-origin words make up a minority of Maltese vocabulary, and I assume Maltese speakers are much more likely to watch English or Italian television than MSA, and most don't have Quranic education.
Cops have plenty of ways of going after people who haven’t committed crimes.

Serious question, why are you using a Mac? Are you developing for Apple products?

Because indeed, most people I see using macs professionally tend to be artists (photo and video editors but also musicians, designers, architects,...). But from my experience tech workers and engineers are more likely to use PCs unless there is some special need (ex: iOS dev).

Edit: Downvoted, as expected. But it is not a troll. I recognize that MacBook pros have really nice features, like a second to none trackpad, nice screen, nice SSD,... Plus it looks good and it "just works". Artists like it a lot and I understand them. But for tech and engineering work, ThinkPads seem to be preferred. They are robust laptops with great keyboards and better connectivity. If computing power is required, powerful desktops and workstation class laptops tend to be used. Finally, for office work, Macs are often considered too expensive.
iPadOS just got one though. I think they’re just pushing gestures.
C++20 compiler support is already quite good among the main compilers (GCC, Clang, MSVC): https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support
I think their idea is to combine that with signing the bundles, so a page from www.someserver.com can be served by anyone, aka Google. I guess this would mean Google can serve all content on the web.

There seems to be a strong urge in Google to cut the connection between then endpoints of the web and become the central authority. Make all traffic flow through their machines. Let no information arrive at the endpoints.

Right now, requests on the web are kind of p2p. A user requests a website, the publisher serves it any way they see fit. Directly via their servers or via a CDN of their choice.

Google seems to have a strong focus on ending this. Turning the web into Googlebook / AOLoogle.

I wonder why. Do they see their business model threatened on the open web? Or do they see a chance to increase their profit with a closed web?
DERO the real BITCOIN
nope. I am using C++ 20 features in production already.
3-21 requests per hour doesn't seen to be enough to even support development & debugging by a single person.
As a somewhat well established forty year old, I would send money to my parents and help them pay their bills if needed to maintain their sense of independence if it were merely a financial situation for them before I would move them in with me.
This is the environment in which the journalism originally flourished: obtaining and reporting information that is not readily accessible otherwise, often against the wishes of the powers on the ground; and frequently being in danger while obtaining it. I am not glorifying this setup, it is horrible; but the information it provides is very valuable.

Unfortunately, nowadays the journalist working on such project will not enjoy the backing at home: gone are the newspapers that would support independent investigations and publish important reports even when they do not line up with the editor's personal preferences. So the journalist reporting an unconventional view has to working with the other side of the political spectrum, which leads to being boxed all the same, just in a different box.

I think there is a real need for independent reporting, including (especially) on hot button topics. I even think that many people would gladly pay for such news if we can figure out the right model that ensures independence: it is perfectly OK to publish a partisan report, as long as publishing an opposing view is also acceptable. My 2c.
Not really, it even lost quite a bit o baggage when becoming 1.0.

The features it gets now are all mostly on the roadmap since quite a bit and neither surprising nor do the feel like a huge pile of "everything I can imagine" thrown together.

Rust is several order of magnitudes away become such clogged like C++ is, and also its feature acquisition accelerates slower than the one of C++.
The only thing slower than that acceleration is probably its compile speed, but here C++ isn't really better. :)

From observing both since a bit I just really got the feeling that rust adoption of things was more thought out to fit the existing language and ecosystem, not 100% perfect, but much more fitting than what C++ did, i.e., mixing in every thing they could get their hands on, while some actually made things better, a lot just do not go well when being together.

It seems to be intended as the backend database for the Dero blockchain smart contract platform: https://medium.com/deroproject/graviton-zfs-for-key-value-st...

The post claims: "The features included in Graviton provide the missing functionality that prevented Stargate RC1 from reaching deployment on our mainnet."

I'm not sure, but I guess that this checksumming is relevant for storing the Merkle trees encoding the blockchain. I don't know why the previous choice of database wasn't suitable.
Java has a long history of saying “we don’t support that feature because it’s d-a-a-a-angerous.” Personally, I think that’s an insult to Java programmers, but Java programmers don’t seem to take it the same way. They’re happy that somebody at Sun or Oracle is able to keep all the sharp corners away from them.
Other than lisp, which production ready languages do you think do it better?
You control the 'territory' (squares) by using them, denying them to your opponent.
The libertarian non-profit Reason Foundation and it’s associated magazine (linked article) have become much more prominent and linked as a respected news source since the beginning of the year. They do fantastic reporting with a logical (although biased towards freedom and individual rights) and informative style, which has simply disappeared from mainstream sources like the NYT and WaPo. I trust Reason much more than other sources.
Had to switch to MBP last year due to work and have been using SensibleSideButtons from the first day.

I am missing an "always on top" application to pin windows to the top layer - like there is in most Linux distros. Anyone knows a little app that provides this function?
> I like how the time travelling/history is always touted as a feature (which it is), but it really just means the garbage collector/pruning part of the transaction engine is missing. Postgres and other mvcc systems could all be doing this, but they don't.

Postgres actually did tout it as a feature in "THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POSTGRES" by Michael Stonebraker, Lawrence A. Rowe and Michael Hirohama[1] search for "time travel" in the PDF. I added the relevant quotes below for easier access ;)

This was back when PostgreSQL had the postquel language (before SQL was added) there was special syntax to access data at specific points in time:

> The second benefit of a no-overwrite storage manager is the possibility of time travel. As noted earlier, a user can ask a historical query and POSTGRES will automatically return information from the record valid at the correct time.

Quoting the paper again:

> For example to find the salary of Sam at time T one would query:

retrieve (EMP.salary)
using EMP [T]
where EMP.name = "Sam"

> POSTGRES will automatically find the version of Sam’s record valid at the correct time and get the appropriate salary.

Very true. I can't sadly think of a single instance where any of my colleagues in the last ten years would've contributed a bugfix upstream. It would always be a workaround or creating a local copy of the code in question to customize it.
Just passing by to signal-boost the creator of Lichess, a single person who, out of frustration with FICS et al., made an amazing product out of the blue, released it under an open source license and delivered an UX that blew its competitors right out of the water.

All it takes one person with skill and generosity to completely change a community for the better. I hope to become one day this kind of person.
The article seems to give some clue. The format would allow serving unblockable ads using random urls, or urls that look legitimate. Google’s goal is to have full control over the user experience so that they can serve more ads.
This entire discussion is about WSL...
Doesn't that already happen as a corollary of a greedy per user optimization? Each marginal car on the best course slows down the traffic, ergo weighting it slightly lower vs. alternatives. Isn't GMaps just filling out the best routes first?
I'm not quite sure how you can save enough money in 9 years (including 2 when you need to go to high school) to save enough money to buy a house out of pocket, even when you assume you don't buy anything for those years.
