Web browsers provide many features out of the box but frameworks rarely use them. Web components are one thing; HTML templates are another. Streaming video is being decoded by Javascript even though every browser supports H.264, input elements such as calendar controls are rewritten, animations are done in JS instead of smooth CSS transitions, drag and drop support is manually rewritten in JS...

Whenever a feature gets added to standard HTML, web frameworks and "polyfills" keep implementing their own versions because the standards don't fit them and they don't want to rewrite (or keep their own implementation as a mere fallback).

Even if a data binding framework would be standardized today, it would take years for browsers to catch up and gain critical mass. There'd only be more polyfills and Javascript to help support people running IE11 or whatever.

I'm glad many JS features have been implemented natively in HTML5, but this specific case feels overkill to me. HTML templates have been introduced and then ignored by frameworks already and I doubt any framework would switch over to a new data binding API if it became a standard today.
Even 1 minute spent on dealing with a spam PR, never mind how many people get notified via email, is too much. I agree, let's hope digitalocean adds more safeguards into their counting logic.
How far along are you with Clasp?
I've been fighting to ban use of interpreted code in production because I hate slow stuff, and like money. So you can use those motivations instead if you like. If you love Python and Ruby, make compilation a first class method of running them.
You have implied that:

> Any "disadvantage" occurs naturally as a result of loss in real usefulness (for a time) when it comes to employment. Now, you want to compensate for that natural loss in productivity by mandating that men artificially lose productivity in the form of paternity leave.

You call men caring for the child as artificial. But the fact is that beyond a couple of weeks the mother's "loss in productivity" is just as artificial as the father's, or do you actually think that women usually start to work again after just a couple of weeks on average?
Browsing the web: ignores every ad, installs blockers

Reading old computer magazines: reads every ad, considers if copies of ancient literature still exist
Awesome thanks, if you can think of anything later, please add!
I feel that this is the same argument as the kneeling football players argument. People should be allowed to use their position of power - however limited or not it may be - as their platform for protest. If it becomes so burdensome that you have to put rules in place to prevent it, that's a very clear indication of an underlying problem with society. Creating policy to ignore the problems of society that impact your own workforce is going to leave you with a workplace filled with people who are largely unimpacted.
The interesting thing i found is that it supports keyboard, mouse, ethernet and power via type c dongle.
I did - and we compiled our first batch of molecules using an application implemented in Cando (Clasp + computational chemistry code) yesterday. I'm absolutely serious about this.
That was simply amazing. Having the video guide you through all the machine learning prediction steps as they got analyzed on your video feed worked flawless, both in terms of technical execution but also presentatio nwise.

They also made some great points about how ridiculous some of these algorithms are (shake your head to lose 10 years of age, or just trying to predict BMI from a face photo)
If CDC and the Surgeon General had wanted universal mask use, the worst possible strategy would be something like: spend two months insisting that, not only do masks not work, but buying them is unpatriotic and selfish, because we need to save them for health care workers, since masks require a hospital boundary to be effective. Just wash your hands a lot!

Then pivot, pretend universal masking was always the advice, and act shocked when the resulting cognitive dissonance coalesces into a partisan issue.
Much appreciate your feedback, which is very helpful. I agree with you on balancing structural benefits of classes with vocabulary and other benefits of conversational practice with native speakers. I haven't heard of Lingoda before - will definitely check it out and keep it in mind.
> it is better to just de-centralize

Until you want to join and then all of sudden it's not your problem. Then you end up with a "gang" of cowboy analysts running ad-hoc data-dumps against operational datastores affecting production uptime and stability only so that they can do a lookup between the multiple (source_table_column_count * source_table_row_count) sheets in their uber excel document.

I'm all for decomposing the monolith as long as you have a plan for recomposing when it's necessary.
Anything that would give me all of this and lets me use android and give me a nice looking platinum card. Or an app that will let me use my apple credit card in android

yeah redshift is not at all comparable to snowflake. big query is much closer, it's ahead in some areas and in the last year has closed some of the gaps where it wasn't. big query's biggest problem is that it's tied to gcp which is a distant 3rd in cloud marketshare. they have big query omni coming which is multi-cloud but it'll probably be a while before it's comparable to big query in gcp.
Same. This recharger + 4 battery set has been invaluable with my remote.

Let me do some reading and get back to you!
This is exactly why I have zero faith in any substantive knowledge coming from this pandemic until, what, a hundred years afterward?

So many variables that change the narrative if ignored. This is going to be like everything else (at least in the US). People will seek out sources that confirm their already established belief.

It's hard being positive about, well, anything right now. Is this depression, or is this just a realistic view of humanity?
Is "It can take a splash or spill, no problem" a reference to the meme of the Long Island guy petting a bodega cat?
right, but that headline doesnt answer the underlying question. This chromecast runs Android TV, so what is Google TV? Is it an interface on top of Android TV, or the successor to Android TV as we know it? It says its coming to future TV's, so what about the Sony TV I just bought? There's so many questions about what this software even is.
It used to be that you didn't get any sick income the first day to prevent frivolous usage, this was changed back in March.

Now it is 80% for a year, you need a doctor's note after three weeks. This used to be one week but to limit the strain of the health services it was increased. If the company want one earlier they need to pay a private doctor to do it.

You also get 80% of your income if your children younger than 12 get sick and you need to stay home to take care of them.

Due to corona any respiratory illness is included in this, and it is a crime to go out in society if you have confirmed or serious suspicion of infection. (Infectious disease law)
The Pixel 3 has no notch, though I'm guessing the XL does.

(I'm on a Pixel 3 now!) Spouse has 2 XL which I think I like a pinch better than my 3 but not enough to switch out. I went from a Nexus 6P and this is definitely better but also not an overwhelming upgrade. Just happy to resume getting updates and have a great camera.

The 4 and 5 do not interest me, and "latest updates" is not nearly the value proposition it was 5 years ago (or maybe I'd miss it...?) So I definitely expect my next phone to be non-Google like OnePlus or maybe Motorola.
Did you even read the article or previous comments before the MS bashing reflexes kicked in?
Should the motivation to speak not come from being involved in an interesting topic first?
These are generally the same people that call Trump a fascist/say democracy is dead.

Paternalism and authoritarianism is alive and well on the left too.

And it's generally worse cause they act like they have the certainty of science, academia, etc. to justify however they abuse power.

See how that played out in the Progressive era...eugenics, central planning, corporations...the list goes on.
“Do people like me get to exist in public life” is often a hot topic of political discussion, but it’s not a discussion I’m interested in having or even hearing about at work. Not sure I’d consider this “privilege”.
I'm often surprised how sbcl is 'benchmark' competitive with other native langs (c, ada, pascal)
Oh weird! Yes it seems like it will be coming in 2021. I bet that the latency of new Chromecast was too high and they'll need to spend 6 months optimizing before they can get it down where it needs to be, which means the 2 teams must have been almost blissfully unaware of each other.

This sounds like typical Google where the development of this product and Stadia were so separated that they completely missed the huge opportunity. What a frustrating miss. Stadia has been advertising like crazy and you'd need to buy the EOL Chromecast Ultra to play on a TV and they'll miss one of their strongest cross-promotions going into the holiday season. They could have been undercutting PS5 and Series X with a $50 device that played the same AAA games with the Bluetooth controller you already own. This company is a zombie.
Scrolling it with a touchbar made me nauseous.
> In the last three months America has lost more people than Sri Lanka lost in 30 years of civil war. If this isn’t collapse, then the word has no meaning.

This is pretty weak reasoning, and the article's good points are unfortunately diluted by it.

* Raw deaths mean nothing: How many people has America lost -per capita- compared to Sri Lanka?

* The immediate, unexpected and shocking loss of a loved one from a bomb is vastly different from the typical Covid experience in the US. Outside of NYC, it is, typically, a nursing home illness.

* Direct homicide from a rebel military cannot be compared to succumbing to a novel and little-understood virus.
I'm on Firefox mobile for Android and I had to scroll over and over with elements moving all over the place so I abandoned it to come and read comments so I can find out what it is really about.
That Erlang is relatively power inefficient doesn't surprise me. I wonder how much of that is due to the "busy wait" it uses to reduce the latency in message processing.
hadn't heard of it. Sounds like the semantic web or Wolfram Alpha. It's very ambitious and I think almost like an AGI type problem, because parsing human queries to the point where the system can actually reason about semantics, and on its own create ontologies and relationships of everything you find on the web that are actually useful and accurate is difficult.
Not really a "smaller Rust", but certainly a language that does Rust-y things (lifetime analysis) without getting in the users way (it's all automatic) is http://strlen.com/lobster/

It does "compile time reference counting" (http://aardappel.github.io/lobster/memory_management.html) which moves almost all memory management to compile time. The end result is a language which you can program while mostly ignoring ownership, and still get the benefits.

The article also mentions the desire for "control-flow-capturing closures" as in Kotlin, which Lobster has too (non-local returns).
I wonder how these rankings would have changed for C++ and Rust if they included compile times :)
I do not where you got these numbers from.

decompiler vs. disassembler is an important distinction here
...which makes them a great place to share infections.
Someone should take the source for the old xp mspaint and spruce it up a bit to support for transparency and zooming with scrollwheel.
To me, the only "hope" was cryonics, until I learned that they really do destroy the cell in its original form (to which it cant be restored) in the process.

That, and how virtually every company loses tanks (mainly through power failure) and then says oops.

Speaking of failure, either Thiel and Brin are doing just that on the topic, or they are really good at keeping secrets.
In the last iteration, they've also changed the design (mechanism).
That means never leaving your house again, you could get hit by a car. And optimizing your meals for nothing except expected lifespan.
Is there a wireshark config for WSL2 so you can browse traffic? eBPF support in WSL2 sufficent?
My Chromecast from 2013 still works.
It's working fine. We are developing applications within it for the past year. We have been kind of low key because we are using it as part of a much larger project.
This particular field is difficult. Other than Google (through Search and also its acquisition of Metaweb), no other company has managed to achieve tremendous revenue with a knowledge base product alone. Cyc, Wolfram Alpha, the original IBM Watson (the expert system, not the ML APIs borrowing the brand) are all surviving but not thriving.
There are languages that LLVM supports that GCC doesn't.
Not a UX person.

There's a threshold after which something is so good it's worth criticizing?
You need to look the excess death. The only true indicator. There might be hidden deaths, keeping in mind that Vietnam is not a country where the press is free.
Do any of your family members rely on tips to stay housed?

One of mine does. It's been pretty brutal.

It's easy to pretend that economic devastation doesn't cause suffering and death, when your only personal consequence is that you finally get that work-from-home gig you always wanted.
Hence the part about the royal navy.
Apperantly when the website thinks you are a woman, it marks that column down as "Normal: No", because 82% of visitors are men.

Just something to think about.

Also it called me ugly :<

Edit:

I just ran the website for a second time and didn't change my clothes or anything, and it gave me very different results.

ie. gender, age, bmi, attractiveness all different.

I don't think the ratings for this is very stable & reproducible.

at least it rated my girlfriend as abnormally attractive. :)
Amazing. Have the goals of the project changed over time, or is it still to generate molecules that fit a certain shape/function based on a number of known building blocks?
I've built several complex apps (which I suppose are "of significance") with web components. I just used a framework (Polymer in my case) to abstract away the web components API.
[Teradata employee here.]

> The legacy players like Teradata and Exadata (from Oracle) really don't scale.

I get why Teradata gets labelled "legacy", but one of Teradata's main differentiators is scale. Teradata engineers have been tackling incredibly interesting scale problems (on many dimensions of "scale") for 40 years. Teradata has many customers who routinely manage and perform analytics on many petabytes of data.

> Historically, only transactional data was dumped into the warehouse.

That was once true, because initially that was all the data that companies had. However, companies have long since used data warehouses for all kinds of data — sensor data, text, behavioral data, product info/BOMs, vendor info, contract info, etc. — whatever's necessary to run the business.

> Snowflake is selling storage at S3 price…

This is important, but not unique. For example, Teradata's current product has native support for S3 and S3-compatible object stores, and you can query them just like any other database table, join that data with data in high-performance native storage, etc.
https://okdb.io/p/pricing says there's a BSD licensed community edition.

Anyone know where the source code is hosted?
I think we get into trouble with this analysis, of taking topics off the table for civic discussion.

There are obviously some topics where that's true; for instance, no sane person will entertain a debate about re-segregating schools.

But then you have the idea that immigration is off the table because it dehumanizes undocumented people --- despite the fact that even American Latinos generally believe immigration is a colorable argument, or that abortion is off the table because it threatens the bodily autonomy of women --- despite the fact that a very large fraction of women support addition abortion restrictions. The principle just doesn't hold together.

It's possible that we're all just talking past each other, and that all of us acknowledge that there are going to be public policy discussions about these kinds of topics, and we're just talking about why some citizens will refuse to engage.

(Disclaimer: I think we have a moral imperative to issue a blanket amnesty and simplified path to citizenship for the vast majority of all undocumented immigrants, and oppose European-style restrictions on abortion).
1. Older people put on muscle mass slower.
2. Their bones are more fragile.
3. Working memory ("fluid intelligence") decays starting in your early 20s for most people.
4. Cancer rates.
5. Cardiovascular disease rates.
6. Overall decline of sensory organs.

I really wish I could believe your post though.
... he said while looking at his checkbook :) Considering the role the FAA played in this disaster, they should not be the only ones to validate this.

I'll believe it when I hear it from a more impartial agency like one of the EU ones. They'd better not rubber stamp the FAA one like they did the first time.
Really great to see some actual non incremental innovation happening in the search space.

When looking at Golden's value prop, it becomes clear that Google has actually been somewhat, ehm, lazy when it comes to making search better, relying almost 100% on UGC to provide answers instead of trying to structure them in a concise way.

Very curious to see where this leads!
Sweden seems to have become a Dem/Rep arguing point in the USA and unfortunately that means you can't discuss it anywhere online without loads of hot takes. But I think there is stuff worth looking at in Sweden's approach. It certainly can't be dismissed as trivially as you are trying to dismiss it.

Here's a Guardian article from a few days ago

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/15/sweden-records...

And here's a blog post giving some pro-swedish-approach arguments

https://velvetgloveironfist.blogspot.com/2020/09/the-thing-a...

However, here's a good twitter thread about how you can't really translate Swedens approach to the USA

https://twitter.com/ChrChristensen/status/130966885138733466...

[Sweden’s COVID] policy can only be understood as inseparable from Sweden’s developed welfare state, social system: universal healthcare, paid sick leave, paid leave to care for sick kids, subsidized daycare & pre/after-school care.
I prefer the remote control app instead, why find a remote when it can just be on your phone, y'know?
Isn't observable superseded by Proxy?

Most (all?) of what is enabled by observable should be possible with Proxy, right?
Based purely on the headline, it feels like the people who yell about it are the exact Twitter shitstorm party that tries to start a pitchfork mob everywhere, and if you just try to stay away from it, they'll form a mob against you for staying out of it.

In other words, exactly the toxic group of people that this is trying to remove from the company.
vmswitch is configurable by the host. these VPN authors have no clue what they're doing, windows firewall rules should not in any case be applied to traffic coming from a VM. ridiculous.

All of the compiler bugs I have run into were related to recently added features. Things like intrinsics for new CPU instructions, or new optimization options (e.g. ThinLTO).

I have a healthy skepticism of new compiler features as a result.
Depending upon how you define "dynamic" Java wins by a small margin.

If we treat "dynamic" as a spectrum though, Lisp still gets you a lot more dynamism for a relatively small increase in power consumption (and a somewhat larger gap in performance).
Having extensively used MSN in the early 2000s, I bang my head every time I use Skype at work.
How could they make such a terrible IM app after having made MSN? I just don't get it.
Same here in New Zealand ... I just see Nest Aware cameras.
Normal as in average? No, that leans pretty far left. It's not particularly unusual to see though. My theory is that there is a very loud minority of people online that believe things like that (or are willing to exaggerate to that degree).

Extremists abound on the internet.

Let your wife be your wife. You be you. Kids are naturally curious, especially boys. I have both. My daughter is bright and a straight A student, but she and her friends lack the adventuresome nature boys have. My boys are game for anything that involves spaceships, science, animals, fishing, etc. They wanted to know how fish worked, so I cut a catch open and showed them what a fish looked like inside: eyes, brain, intestines, etc. Kids need to see this stuff. They need to know where their food comes from. Trips to organic farms, fisheries, deer rendering if you hunt.

My wife has a doctorate. She's very intelligent, far more than I am, if I'm honest, but... she cares nothing for anything other than her field. Nothing. She won't entertain ideas other than her own. I love her to death, but she's very narrow minded.

My parents (deceased) were chalk and cheese. My mother was sweet and loving. Her skills ended there. My father was likely a genius on many levels. There was nothing he couldn't suss out. I was having issues compiling a program written in Basic one day in 1983. He was an Ada/C guy and in 10 seconds saw the issue and had me correct it. He was a math wizard--had to be--he designed flight systems that people's lives depended on. He was anal retentive to the nth degree and that rubbed off on me. He always said, "Son, if you're going to do anything, do it as if your life and others depend on it." He even had me PM my own bicycles and the lawn mower. My mother was distant in many respects and died an alcoholic. Maybe she felt like she never fit in. I don't know. Her parents, my grandparents, were very educated and well read. Odd.

Like you, I find it incredibly frustrating that I cannot get an Arduino or Raspberry Pi project launched and share it with my wife. Her eyes glaze over and she's actually said, "I'm not interested." My kids are too young to grok what I'm doing and don't have the patience yet to learn (yet). She likes those brain dead games and TV shows that offer zero in the way of intellectual worth. I love anything sci-fi, coding, fishing, woodworking, etc. Don't lower your expectations. I would try and find common ground with her in something you both enjoy and let that be your communal source of joy with your wife. You need you time and so does she. Parenting is no joke and she is performing an unpaid job that is high stress. Take the kid out, just you and the kid. Give her some downtime to recharge. Women love that stuff. Just what works for me.
Software encryption is also harder to protect without a trusted boot path. My point was just that this isn't a simple binary decision but rather something which requires review and defense in depth.
