I'd be more for angling at someone with a deep passion for the differentiating factors between Firefox & Chrome (or more specifically, between Mozilla and Alphabet).

If someone has a deep passion for building an amazing browser but lacks any appreciation for why building Firefox might be more worthwhile than building Chrome, then I'd hope they would go work for the Chrome team, as I would not expect them to prioritise aspects of Mozilla's business strategy that differentiate their products.

Or in other words: is there any point in Mozilla existing if they ape Chrome/Google/Alphabet in their approach?
Stamets is a fascinating & passionate guy, but it's worth remembering that he makes a lot of claims that aren't necessarily backed up by research (Stamets himself has only a bachelor's degree).

And some of his claims are just plain pseudoscience, i.e. his claims on the Joe Rogan Show about "entering the multiverse" via psilocybin, the Stoned Ape theory, etc.

Since active covid cases are still pretty rare day-to-day at a population level, "Close to 100% accuracy" is ambiguous, and could be very good or basically useless. For example, if 3% of the people moving through that airport actually have coronavirus, a detector that just reads negative for everything would have 97% accuracy - but a 100% false negative rate.
Utility has many dimensions.

How fast a car can go is one, how many people it can transport is another, how few emissions it creates is another.

Someone might be willing to drop big bucks on a Tesla Model X to haul their family around rather than a used Dodge Caravan ... not because it'll get them between Point A and Point B more quickly or because it can carry more people, but because it doesn't emit CO2.

Point being that we don't all value the same things, and while I wouldn't make the same decisions as other people much the time, I can certainly understand how people come to (sometime vastly) different decisions than me.

EDIT: I have an uncle who is an emergency room doctor, and I guess after seeing all of those car crash victims, his car-buying decisions have always been based entirely on safety. So he's driven an otherwise unlikely progression of cars, some luxury, some not, based on whatever seemed to be the safest new car available.
The best ROI I get when writing tests is from thorough unit testing of the most fundamental, most heavily used low-level components. That's because components like "StreamReader" or "Lock" or "Response" tend not to change much over time.

In contrast, higher-level tests often break because the high-level components the test change frequently in response to business needs.

I don't get this meme that unit tests are "brittle". Are the interfaces to your low-level components changing all the time? Perhaps they are not written with "loose coupling" in mind and are exposing needlessly fragile and complex APIs?
Given that there aren't "a lot" of transpeople I am not sure I understand your point is, care to elaborate?

Civics is definitely lacking, but I feel like the bigger issue is that information sources in general have become highly biased and prone to misinformation (especially if you consider social media an information source). And at the same time we aren't teaching kids to seek truth, question what they hear, and think critically. In fact, a lot of times it seems like the opposite is being taught - "believe me because I'm in a position of authority".
It seems like it has the potential to serve just about everyone but the site hosting the data.

For example, recipe sites are overwhelmed with pages and pages of generally poorly written and uninteresting background information designed to make you see as many ads as possible. However, many recipe sites added metadata with complete recipe contents, free of fluff. Sure, Google uses that to read off recipes from the Home, but there's also a python module that does the same and could be linked into a custom recipe book.

In these cases, everyone but the content producer is better off for not having to wade through junk content to find what you're looking for.

Self-delusion is one of the major themes of SOMA. Simon and Catherine partake. I can understand how it came across as annoying and lazy writing, respectively, but it's not. Well... if the writing was annoying or lazy, it wasn't for those reasons.

As for the book comparison, I also think that's slightly uncharitable. Books go far deeper because the written medium facilitates doing so, but interactive media have their own unique benefits: they can force you to make decisions, prohibiting the kind of lazy fence-sitting that's so easy with passive media. I wouldn't object if someone found the book analysis more valuable, or vice-versa, but without a specific disambiguating goal in mind I don't think it's fair to judge one by its strengths and the other by its weakness.

They're also dependent on what it is that you're building.

If you're writing an application, the value of unit tests is limited because the APIs internal to the application aren't being consumed by another developer but instead a user who's going to click/tap through an interface. So, in that case, it makes more sense to test the behavior expected to result from user interaction rather than test the return values of a given function, for instance, because it doesn't matter if a function does the right thing when the app is rendering a blank screen. You can test way more functionality at once by testing at the integration level or by writing "application" tests. Unit tests are best suited for two situations; either you've got a function where it's simply faster/easier to make sure it does the right thing by using a unit test, or you're writing an API that other developers will be consuming in their own applications.

That means the VAX-11/760 (120.000$-160.000$) was 27 times slower for that benchmark. And the PC-XT running PC/IX was 260x slower.
Definitely. I just think there’s a tendency to let perfection be the enemy of the good here: there are thorny philosophical issues but the vast majority of this stuff is not that hard to recognize as fraudulent. Facebook and Twitter tried to ignore the problem to save money, not because it was hard.

> this article has been fact checked as misleading and the account sharing this has been identified as a fake account operated from Russia

Something I've always wondered about stories of accounts being portrayed as "from" a certain country, my impression has always been that things like location and ip address data can be spoofed to make it appear that you are in a location other than where you actually are.

Does anyone happen to have technical depth in this area? Is it known with high certainty that it is impossible to spoof this information and then make posts from a social media account (Yes/No/Maybe)? (And, how is it known?)
I don’t think freedom of speech is a left-right wing issue. There are people who strongly support free speech on both sides, and likewise there are censors on both sides.

I know that 10ms is long and a lot of things can happen. Like adobe thinks it needs an update and the windows scheduler thinks your task needs a pause (thats the worst case) other things can happen as well. Anyway usually i found low time benchmarks not reliable, if you found them reliable thats good.
> If your software runs always on the same platform then you can know what the behavior would be.

This is not necessarily true, and I consider it to be a harmful misconception.

I think people under-react to "undefined behavior".

What you think the platform would do if you overflowed an integer using machine instructions and what your C or C++ code ends up executing can be wildly different things because C and C++ compilers do everything in their power to optimize your code assuming your signed integers will never overflow. If they do, who knows what state your program is in or which machine instructions the compiler would have scheduled.

The attention of the President of the United States and his party are providing that validation. Trump has all but explicitly voiced support for QAnon[0,1] and he and his staff retweet their content and use their memes. Various other Republican organizations also appear to be embracing QAnon[2].

The press has to pay attention to QAnon because it is becoming the mainstream doctrine of the political party in control of the world's last superpower. It matters that global economic and military policy is going to be guided by people who believe the world is secretly run by a conspiracy of satanic pedophile leftists and who trust an anonymous 4chan poster to be speaking the word of God.

At first glance, this benchmarks seem way to short to for JIT-compiled JVMs to reach steady state. I suspect the high cpu-usage comes from the jit compiler and decreased cache effectivity. I've seen JVMs needing 20 minutes to reach a steady state under load. But then, they've inlined your log configuration throughout the code, quite impressive, imho.

Diving Deep into Serverless Architectures
Hi HN!

I thought you'd be interested in listening to The DevOps FaunCast latest episodes. They're about Serverless Computing and answering questions like:

- What are the Serverless use cases?
- What are the best practices?
- When and when not to go Serverless?
- Why are you wrong about vendor lock-in?
- What is observability in Serverless and how to do it?
- What is meant by a cold start? ..etc

You can check part one here (https://anchor.fm/thedevopsfauncast/episodes/Diving-Deep-Into-Serverless-Architectures-12-ejaj2l/a-a35i1t3) and part two here (https://anchor.fm/thedevopsfauncast/episodes/Diving-Deep-Into-Serverless-Architectures-22-ek351i/a-a3avgk7).

I don't know why mrmonkeyman's reply on Chinese having something against the number 4 was downvoted into oblivion although I suspect it was because of the all-to-common knee-jerk reaction against 'racism'. What he said is true, 4 is the most unlucky number in Chinese because it sounds like the word for 'death'. Buildings in China often don’t have a 4th floor, some of them skip all floor numbers which contain '4' so they don't have a 14th or 24th etc. floor. The number 13 has also gained an ominous reputation in China so it is unlikely that help will arrive from China to combat any 13-related superstitions.

PostgreSQL v8, v8.8 or (in the far far future) v88 will be popular though since 8 is the most lucky number - it sounds like the word for 'wealth'.

Boeing did bet on more point to point connections. Their 2003 commercial market outlook states "Passenger preference for more frequent, nonstop flights with shorter trip times will continue to drive market evolution and airline strategies. After all, air travel is all about passenger convenience and saving time." - [0]

They projected 18% or airplane deliveries would be for smaller regional jets. 56% for larger regional jets and single-aisle airplanes. Only 4% (or about 890 deliveries) for 747-size airplanes.

Airbus on the other hand were much more bullish on hub and spoke model: "After a period when airlines experimented with services linking almost all possible combinations of cities, the global route network seems to have reached a point of saturation. Moreover, the bulk of air travel will continue to be generated by the concentrations of population, business and industry in and around the major cities, and the great majority of passengers will be carried over and through the major hubs." - [1]

Airbus projected 1,535 VLA (i.e. A380) as opposed to 890 by Boeing.

It cost much less to Boeing to offer 748 compared to full program like A380. Also most of 748 orders have been cargo, which is still a very healthy market.

There are some patterns in which that is totally true, for example if an integer product is passed to malloc or realloc. Those cases tend to get extra scrutiny in security reviews because it is a well known class of issues. However, it is certainly not the case that every case is exploitable.

Actually it uses two IC's and the more interesting one, in relative terms, is the MAX9814[1] microphone amplifier with automatic gain control.

I suspect there are cheaper class-D IC's that could be used than the MAX98306, but for a prototype why not.

It also puts the volume control potentiometer on the amplifier output which seems wasteful for a battery operated device.

Countries where regular elections are held with a single party/major candidate. Minor opposition candidates may be present but may not capture a large share of the votes. A positive indicator for a democratic system is regular transition of power, and a system in which a single person is consistently re-elected, or a single party. If the voter has only 1 choice in an election, the election is less democratic than one with multiple choices

> If you're working with something more static, like C#, Java, Go, Rust, etc, then it usually doesn't make sense to write tests like that.

I wouldn't trust myself to write code without unit testing it, nor would I trust you, nor would I trust anybody else. It is all too easy to make mistakes like off-by-one errors or other edge case misbehavior.
This is funny. People used to recommend calling/mailing your local Congress representative and try to get them to do something about their particular concern. Now that Congress is completely partisan and just follows the top down party line, people are recommending to do one of the least effective way for a single person to effect change, electing the President, where even a single person in a swing state has a minuscule chance of affecting the outcome.

On one hand, I suppose it's possible that a Nintendo Switch is the only outlet for protest or other speech for some people.

On the other hand, at what point is someone's right to speech interfering with other's rights to relax and decompress? Is a company allowed to set up a place for pure entertainment?

I think it's a generally accepted rule rather than a hard and fast one. That's because a unit test is usually expected to run faster than other test types, and they're expected to be the most deterministic. Using an actual database for a unit test not only can slow things down because of setup, but it can cause state leakage(which may not be a problem for the app itself) between tests and introduces more possibilities for race conditions and random test failures since it relies on a separate process.

But I see no reason why a unit test has to be databaseless. Of course you can write a unit test that uses a database! If it makes sense to do it, then do it. There's no computer god dictating rules to us that we are not allowed to break. However, it probably doesn't make sense to do so. ;)
