I use Chrome since day 1 and today I learned you can buy extensions, that should give you some perspective.
There's at least some speed up when prototyping - think having n functions, and wanting to do some sort of refactoring. You might want to iterate on some refactoring idea, and test it out on the most problematic of those n functions. Dynamic typing gives you the possibility to avoid refactoring the whole codebase (the parts touched by your refactoring, I mean) and test out the refactoring idea on just that function.

Given that we can plainly see from the chat logs that the allegations in 19-22 are baseless, why is it reasonable to believe that the allegations in 4-6 are supported by evidence?

It seems just as likely to me that Assange was advocating for hackers to spend some of their time looking for documents he feels are in the public interest. I'm just speculating here, but isn't it likely that the congressional records system was not hacked but rather documents posted on it were simply difficult to find, and that if Assange could convince hackers to spend their time researching this then more information could be reported to the public?

Given how badly the prosecution has outright lied and also twisted facts to fit its narrative in this case, and how it has abused process and procedure, why should we give it any benefit of the doubt? Who says this indictment is based on evidence? It's not as if the prosecutor is going to be punished at all when he turns out to be lying.
Actually for MySQL it depends on the storage engine, what you described is how InnoDB works.

MyRocks storage, however, only appends data, and requires regular Compaction to clean up old rows, similar to Postgres VACUUM.
National Labs (and sites, e.g. Y-12) are either DOE or NNSA facilities. The government uses a government owned, contractor operated M&O (management and operations) contract to run the labs. M&O contractors are usually public/private consortiums or one of a few private contractors (see:Bechtel). M&O contractors are responsible for staff and operations, and are paid a fee based on a percentage (based o performance) of business the lab did over that FY. National Lab (and site) employees are employees of the M&O contractor, not the federal government.
I remember when I had Google Checkout as my only payment platform. My condolences to all the developers who will now be blowing 1-3 weeks just to get back where they were.
Apple refuses to implement PWA features in Safari, and they don't allow you to run other web browsers unless they are skins over Safari's WebKit.
With people like you it always blows my mind how one can have such a restricted mindset.

You are nip picking a few things and vastly distorting the actual claims to make your point, while totally ignoring everything that actually was accomplished. Elon gets asked about 50 things every day and he gives his median prediction.

If you actually go back 10 years and look at his prediction for Tesla and SpaceX he is remarkably accurate, far, far, far more then literally anybody else.

Tesla underestimated the difficulty of mass production. That happens to basically every company that has extreme growth and the handle the problem and are now in very profitable production and own a huge market share in that cars market. They are massively improving manufacturing as was confirmed by independent experts.

They have 28% of global full EV market thanks that production system that you dismiss. The are outselling BMW, Mercedes and Lexus combined in the US. But of course instead of saying that, lets point out that they had 1 year of production issues.

> Solar tiles that will print money

Can you actually provide a source for that statement? Solar roof was to expensive and didn't sell well, so they made them cheaper and they are mass producing them now. They are not printing money, but they are increasing the numbers they sell and it should turn into a nice buissness.

> A brain chip that will cure autism

Again, nobody ever claimed they would have this right now. Its technology with lots of potential and that's how it was communicated. Elon is literally spending his private money on long term development project that has the potential to help many people and wouldn't get funding otherwise. And people like you shit on him, its baffling to me how somebody can have this reaction. Yeah fuck him for trying to work on some of the hardest problem in the world.

He is to optimistic on self driving, that is literally the only valid argument people have.

Truly baffling to me.
Recovery in Postgres is simplified and sped up considerably by the approach taken to MVCC. Same is true with transaction rollback. SQL Server users (on recent SQL Server versions) can optionally get a similar trade-off by enabling constant time recovery (CTR), which is called Accelerated Database recovery (ADR) in the MS marketing material. See the paper:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2019/0...

SQL Server has something called "background cleanup" when this feature is enabled, which takes place in a separate process called "the cleanup process" - just like VACUUM. The paper itself explicitly acknowledges the similarity. All of the advantages the paper claims for CTR/ADR are also advantages for Postgres.

It's also true that both traditional SQL Server (SS with ADR/CTR disabled) and MySQL have background cleanup processes of their own for indexes, but that is a little different. It's about asynchronously reclaiming space for index entries that were already delete-marked.

This is another Rust design mistake: conflating the platform pointer size with "lengths". It's possible to process files bigger than 4 GB on 32-bit platforms. It's even possible to memory map them (using sliding windows/views).

In some Rust forums, the language designers were shocked to learn that this is possible.

At any rate, the Range type was very clearly designed for slices of in-memory contiguous arrays. Then template magic was used to make them "generic over all types". So now we have a situation where Range acts like an array subset and a B-Tree range selector, and a source for ordinals in iteration, and a bunch of other things. Some of which are incompatible.
The GPU gap is only if written in the high level index or loop style. There is little to no gap if done either using array abstractions (broadcast, map etc) or at a level similar to Cuda C (though with nicer Julia abstractions and syntax): https://juliagpu.org/cuda/

Reading over the comments there's a lot of "wow, I want to do that" and "wow, I'm so glad I also did that". My story is somewhat different but might also help those who want to do that but, say, need to pay bills to eat.

I left my most recent full-time (45+ hrs/wk) job coding after 9 years in the valley. When I was planning it, I was treating it as a long sabbatical and was going to travel and not do any work. However, along my travels I've found myself stuck in one country or another for various reasons (like global pandemics) and with nothing better to do, logged back online. Except, this time I knew before I started exactly what my goal was: I wanted to make enough money to pay my bills, and not a penny more. Going in with this outlook, I took freelancing gigs with a few companies, and I've now settled into a consistent relationship with a software consulting company.

I agree with many comments in this thread: what I'm doing isn't creative; it's basic operational stuff; "glue" software... But I don't need it to be interesting. I work 15 hours in a week and when I don't feel like working on a particular day--then I don't. I make just over what I spend each month. Since I have so much extra time, when inspiration strikes me, I can go and work on hobby programming projects as a creative outlet (which is why I got into programming in the first place)!

I've spent 15+ years learning these computer programming skills. If the job isn't interesting and I can do what's required in my sleep, then--to me--I should do the job in my sleep and spend my waking hours doing what I enjoy. I think in general OP and I have the same goal, but we're approaching on different tacks.
And you won't have to re-develop it a bunch of times.
Forgive my complete ignorance/inexperience, but why does the page size need to be increased to 64kB, and why does the key+value length(?) have to fit into 1/3 of a page?
I totally agree, the interface has to be simple.

First movers always take the majority of the market share if there are no compelling reasons to use a similar service.
Unfortunately 2 of those I almost entirely get spam and business/commercial interactions through. On my cell phone I've gotten one call in the last 6 months that wasn't spam and it was an automated notification from the Sheriff about a permit I'd applied for. I haven't gotten a single useful call from someone not on the whitelist of my contact page in so long it's tempting to just autosend all unrecognized numbers to voicemail.

Email in particular I don't think really fits the mold of social network. I think principally because there's not really a public post concept it's all essentially point to point communications. There are some abstractions like mailing lists but they're still an express list of people who will get it. I guess that might not be so different from a 100% private profile but the lack of any public functionality excludes it from the social media category.
- Small government

- Pro free speech (or as The Guardian like to describe me, "free speech extremist")

- Equality of opportunity (but not "positive" discrimination), NHS and safety nets fit here

- Proud of our country and history, and acknowledging the bad parts without trying to destroy them

- Capitalism/free markets over intense regulation

- Pro small business and anti corporatism

- Self responsibility

So definitely not the current Tory party, but more ideologically aligned with me than any other.

Sadly this illustrates the current state of Robotics - HARD. This was 3 years with multiple people's lives. The industry as a whole needs to go down the same route as computers did which are common platforms that fit together that get the job done. Sadly there needs to be a behemoth in this space first(1960s IBM) that does all this work that society as a whole then can profit from(Facebook today)
Technically they still have an email account, so I imagine that would be how. But they don't otherwise ever use the account, never even check it.

So your solution seems to be hobble the successful company so the weaker companies can compete? Maybe we should also prevent strong athletes from using their strengths and skills because other people don't have the same strengths and skills? Should we prevent smart people from using the brains because some people's brains don't function as well?

Maybe there's a different argument against Chrome but Google adding features to the Chrome is certainly not an argument against Chrome.
Erbium instead of Palladium. Takes me back...
>The fact that this leaked and almost nobody cares means that people have made a decision.

Most people have made the decision that the government is corrupt, Assange is an asshole, and there's nothing they can do about any of it because their elected officials are also corrupt.

That is hardly an endorsement of all the horrible things that the US government has been secretly doing in their name.
NOooooo
Fair enough. Yes, two syllables, but there's a sound between the "val" and the "oo" parts.

If I see "loo" absent context I would normally pronounce it without that intervening sound. Whereas "lieu" has it.
It's not just to make the 737MAX behave similarly to the 737NG. The 737MAX has objectively bad handling at high AoA due to the engine positioning. Once you're at high AoA, it doesn't have good static stability, and has too much of a tendency to pitch up further into a stall.

The cause of this though is as you say, the desire to make the 737MAX be on the same type certificate as the NG rather than do a clean sheet design.

Obviously in hindsight, Boeing would have been better off with the clean sheet design. At this point though, I think either they have to get the MAX recertified or they go bankrupt. They could potentially be bailed out by the government and a clean sheet design started, but even the bailed out company would be a shell of its former self with no narrowbody aircraft to sell.

I think you'll see Boeing get the MAX recertified or die trying.
and you have to leave your mobile phone at the door!

> And if you struggle expressing yourself verbally, your experience might not be great.

This implies there is a minority which has some inconveniences with expressing themselves verbally. In (some) reality it's the opposite - nobody has a tongue of gold, fingers-on-keyboard-which-sing-serenades-like-a-pro, except selected few - so, everybody feels pretty awkward, being unable to look, smile (oh, you have that 4K monitor, that really good camera and that gigabit link? What are you doing on an online dating scene?), turn... the whole shebang of body language, not to mention pauses, conversation switches - they are possible online, just that much less workable, and that's in the area when at least in part the conversers are trying to impress each other, maybe ever so slightly.

In-depth conversation can be good for thinking, planning or learning - but can be subpar for flirting or relaxing. Wonder if those hopefuls are looking for former or latter.
Chrome being open source is a massive difference compared to IE. Especially with both Microsoft and Apple maintaining their own Blink/Webkit based browsers in addition to Google.

I do hope Firefox survives. I think it's really important for the web to have multiple implementations. But lets not pretend this is as bad as the IE situation.
I keep thinking next gen native apps will just be progressive webapps running off localhost data-sources.

The things keeping pwa back are not the web, not the interface capabilities. It's all the un-web platform APIs the app doesn't have access to. Run a local http server to proxy to the pwa the things the limited OS won't give the pwa but will give an app, & you get the world a best development experience that works anywhere & the icky native privilege bits you would have needed to squabble over (safari g mozillacs proud unsupport of webmidi for example) & maybe/maybe-never get as a pure pwa.
This is my favorite:

If you exclude ballistic missiles, I'm fairly certain Taiwan could repel the PLA independently, with predjudice. They have better air, navy, and land equipment. The Chinese have untested equipment and conscripted soldiers (that aren't issued body armor). I think China would eventually win an attrition war, but Taiwan is unlikely to let it come to that.

There was more labor sunk into the tooling to make those old tools, fancy forging dies and whatnot to forge fancy tools that are thin, light, etc.

Modern metallurgy is soooo much more consistent for equivalent or better outputs though. Thanks to modern electronic process control the dumbest dolts on 3rd shift in some factory in China can hit the spec they were told to hit and they can hit it for pennies.

Plastics, electronics, mechanical assemblies, hydraulics, everything, same story. Modern automation and process control has made the "high quality" of decades past something attainable on a budget.

So your Harbor Freight junk will generally hold its own against grandpa's Craftsman and Snap-On but it won't look good or feel good doing it and you white box wheel bearing will roll your tractor along just as well as the one it replaces.
It is. Plenty of people are renaming the "master" branch in git to something else even though it has no relation to master/slave
Yup, I have the same feeling. I've had an Xbox since the Xbox 360 days:

Xbox 360 -> Xbox One S -> Xbox One X

But, looking at the different showcases. Definitely getting a PS5 this time. I don't do many multi-player games and actually enjoy story based single player games. Looking forward to play God of War, Unchartered, Spider Man, etc.

Maybe this will give Microsoft the boost they need to make some fun next gen games.
I also agree. "Federated" is not a killer feature. Simplicity is, and that needs to be a priority.

We know that it has false-activated at least 3 times, and each time has been a few minutes after takeoff.

This is because if the sensor fails on the ground, MCAS will always activate a few minutes into the flight, when the flaps are retracted, because the rule that activates it is disabled when the flaps are down.

On a recommendation from a friend I filed a complaint online at https://ag.ny.gov/internet/online-forms. I wrote up the situation and attached a pdf copy of the support interaction I'd had with Google.

It wasn't quick, but it did seem to work. Here's the timeline:

- May 2018: I contact Google about being unable to export my accounting data from last month

- November 2018: after nothing but "thank you for your patience" emails, I complain to the AG

- early February 2019: I get a letter in the mail from the AG saying they'd forwarded the complaint to Google

- late February 2019: Google finally gives me my data [edit: I'd had April originally, but that was a separate request].
The word choice is meant to be ironic, but anyway.

What a waste of developer time to be renaming code symbols because they offend somebody. You don't have a right not to be offended.
> As the population increasingly moves towards tech jobs, there's now a shortage of coconut harvesters in India.

This seems a very bold claim. I can believe that there is a shortage of people willing to do this job, but it is very hard to believe that the reason is the tech jobs.

Even in the USA IT workers represent less than 5% of all jobs.

Otherwise interesting how automation is increasing around the world.
Personally, I think one QA person on dev team, which the dev can discuss test plans before writing code/tests is really useful. The QA person will always come up with test cases the dev wouldn't come up with and together you have a solid basis to start the work and write the appropriate tests. I really enjoyed working that way. The dev also learns over time what to consider when doing new work. Especially, when the QA is a subject matter expert (e.g. forex etc) and you not.

Best Practices for Securing Infrastructure Access
Your point about MyRocks is a good one. It's also true that MyRocks takes a similar approach to Postgres when it comes to implementing the higher isolation levels. It wouldn't make sense to add InnoDB style next-key locks to MyRocks, either.

Systems that closely adhere to traditional 2PL designs such as InnoDB or DB2 end up with tight coupling between recovery, concurrency control, and storage. This has many consequences, both good and bad. It's no coincidence that Postgres can support quite a variety of index access methods, including support for transactional full text search. You get the transactional stuff "as standard" with the Postgres approach to versioned storage. There is no need to bake concurrency control into each and every index access method.
