I haven't used Gmail for a couple years now, but when I decided to leave, it was slow. Loading the page took awhile, sifting through emails felt sluggish, etc.

Nothing like JIRA or other really slow sites, but just enough to be noticeable and annoying. Like I could "feel" the JS-heavy frontend doing more than it needs to in order to display a list of emails, or show a single one. Meanwhile it's nagging me on the left to add contacts to my GTalk, or Hangouts, or whatever they keep renaming that thing to.

The whole tabbed inbox thing didn't really help me. There are some "promotional" emails that I want to see in my main inbox, but most I don't. But with the tab system, I still have to check it all the time to avoid missing the ones I care about. So instead of decluttering things, I now have more places to click on to see what I have.

There was something about them disabling Exchange support a few years back. This made emails arrive much slower in my inbox on my iOS native client. I can't remember the specifics of that, or if IMAP is now functionally equivalent, but I don't care anymore.

And I just really would like to see my inbox and the currently-selected message at the same time. AFAIK, you have to choose between the message list or a single message; can't see both.

-------

So, after typing all that, I just logged into it again to see if my complaints held up. It seems faster now. I discovered I can disable the tabbed inbox (probably always could). I can enable a right reading pane (probably always could), and change the theme to a dark background (again...).

I got it almost looking like my Fastmail setup. But they're 2 years too late, and the font rendering is kinda crappy on my non-HiDPI external display anyway

So I guess now the only reason I don't use Gmail anymore is because Google.
For all running threads, imagine that every operation can interleave in any possible way. Since the permutations grows in factorial time, the only way to manage concurrency is through well-defined interaction points with no more than a few interesting parts of execution. Are there only 4 possible sequences of significant instructions? Cool. Almost any more and it gets hard to reason about because there are so many paths that aren't obviously enumerable.
Have you considered doing the install at usage time? If you're trying to save on bandwidth of downloaded images....
I also checked to see if they were mentioned! It’s interesting how a band can make you aware of something very obscure (outside of my domain, that is).
Thanks again!

And because you said "ages ago" I suspect you and I have the same original passport.
It might have started for self-defence, but became insurrectionist once the vikings had been defeated. "Why should we pay fealty to a liege that fails at his most basic duty?"

The terms used are "conjurés/conjuration" (from Google: Middle English (also in the sense ‘oblige by oath’): from Old French conjurer ‘to plot or exorcise’, from Latin conjurare ‘band together by an oath, conspire’ (in medieval Latin ‘invoke’), from con- ‘together’ + jurare ‘swear’.).
It seems to imply something more than just gather together for self-defence.
Reminds me of the similar Oric Exos project, which binds 4 Oric's together and merges their video signals to get video effects we would never have dreamed of, back in the day:

This is false and has been shown to be false. you refuse to offer up any evidence to back your accusation aside from your own bigotry.
I think there are some similarities between a "GraphQL vs REST" tradeoff and a "SQL vs NoSQL" one.

As a rule of thumb I would use a GraphQL API if I (as a server developer) don't know my clients and their API access patterns and do not want them to assemble what they want on their own in n+1 requests, particularly if they are somewhere in the internet and would suffer from network latency in each request. Likewise, I (as a database developer) would prefer a SQL database if its clients (e.g. independently developed inhouse applications) and their access patterns are unknown.

Conversely, as, e.g., a backend microservice developer, you mostly know the access patterns between a database and its clients, mostly because there there is just one database client per database and both constitute the microservice. So you are safe to choose a NoSQL database here with, say, a document-oriented datamodel that is optimized for that single database client. With regard to the API of that microservice, you also know your clients (i.e. other microservices), so you can also optimize a RESTful (or even GRPC) API for them in order to avoid the over-/underfetching/n+1 problem. Even if you cannot optimize your internal RESTful API to satisfy each of your clients' requests in a single response, network latency is not such a big problem here because clients of a back-end microservice are often somewhat close to it.

That said, it is an on and off project for me. A type of a playground for testing out things, but one with a long-term goal nonetheless. During October, several people contributed (Hacktoberfest), so my motivation went up again.

I am guessing here, but in South America? Temple Grandin wrote a wonderful (and terrifying) essay about the Kosher/Halal industry and it was pretty eye-opening.
You mean for people, like me, who know you can ask, feel no shame doing so, and believe it won’t hurt their reputation by doing so? Oh, and possibly pay for expensive third party testing.

It would be better to just provide tons of padding to everyone.

I didn't realize this when I wrote my earlier comment, but something that I found disturbing was that you seemed okay with the prospect of your own children being discriminated against, since you merely "expect that China is building world domination for the benefit of the Chinese people." I certainly don't want my future children to be discriminated against. Why do you think that a future where your progeny are second-class citizens is a morally acceptable one?

Even if we suppose that America and China are morally equivalent (which I strongly disagree with), just out of the self-interest of yourself and your family, why would you prefer China over America?
I guess I'm being imprecise with terminology then. It seems like Rust has a concept called destructive move, which is not what I'm talking about.

In any case, the "foo" vector, and "foo" unique_ptr are _mutilated_ as part of the std::move operation. (Since the word "destroyed" seems to have been taken by the Rust community, I can't use that word anymore... hopefully no other community has taken the word "mutilated")
In my university in Spain, math students have the Saint Bourbaki day. That day is recognized holiday by the university and they don't have any classes.
100K is a small audience.
Since there is some competition, you can aspire to get 5-10K MAU.

With this audience, you'll need someone selling ads to have a viable business.

Probably not just ads, but sponsored content that makes local business reach customers. I mean, when a local googles for something like 'tire replacement offer' it should go to your sponsored content offer (don't call this SEO, btw).

I have a 5 year old model S and I ran into this failure. My car was about 4.5 years old, it was about 6 months after the initial 4 year warranty expired. I'd struggled with deciding to get an extended warranty or not - of course now I insist everyone should get one. They very generously let me purchase an extended warranty at repair time and let me use that toward that repair.

That was a really stupid design decision of course for Tesla to use the emmc in that way. I love my car but that was a bad day when the problem hit me.

It's been a great car even with a few problems (had one of the door handles replaced). Mine will be 6 years old soon, I will probably wait till it's about 8 years old for replacing it.

On the other hand, I have a friend with an 8 year old model S and he had no extended warranty and he hasn't had that problem.
After a couple weeks of dabbling between Scala and F# to migrate Python and Node.js codebases (at a scaling startup serving big enterprises) I ended up choosing F#.

Scala is a beast and the package manager + build tools were giving me headaches. I’m optimistic about the current trajectory with Scala 3 and simplifying the language.

Never read this before, thanks for submitting.

Demos are what got me interested in programming back in my teens and in the mid-late 90s I attended what few North American demo parties there were (NAID, Spring Break, and later Pilgrimage), even competing in and winning one (Spring Break '99).

It's been great to see the scene is still active and while things have changed dramatically with insanely powerful GPUs and mature 3D graphics APIs, not as defined by the hardware limitations as it was back then, it's still a really interesting space. I highly recommend getting involved.
The first demo I've seen it was Stash 64 from The Black Lotus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqOaDLmJNgE) and i got totally catched by this. I started going to all demoscene parties and i organized a big party in my country.

Well that is exactly why. Could you imagine the fallout of NK or Iran using nuclear weapons on an invading US allied force? It would unleash a clusterfuck of untold effects worldwide and probably a lot of death. There is a reason why they haven't been used in any conflict since WWII despite all this chaos in this world, they are a powder keg.

Try Chess. The game is complex enough, so you won't be able to master it very quickly, and it retains the competitive aspect that you seek.
The IIgs came out in 1988, four years after the Macintosh. As such, GS/OS was pretty heavily influenced by the Mac user interface; it was practically a demake. It still had some unique quirks, though -- for instance, it used proportional scrollbars, which wouldn't show up on the Macintosh until 1997 (in Mac OS 8).

That's the Cheese Mafia. The US dairy industry has a powerful lobby and sales operation, run in association with the US Department of Agriculture. Milk sales have been dropping for years, and the dairy industry has been trying to prop up sales by adding cheese to everything, with considerable success. Over half the Dunkin' Donuts menu has cheese, and they're changing their name to "Dunkin".
Could you make the source spreadsheet a view-only Google Sheet? I'd rather look at this in a sortable, searchable sheet if possible. :)
I think you are right in truth itself is not really knowable in many interesting cases — but I think we already would be okay with a level lower:
what if we manage to get rid of verifiable untruths?

You know the "X says Y is true and Y can be objectively checked because there is a definition for what Y is". I think that the US had a corrosive atmosphere even before Trump already, think about the whole "candidate X is socialist/fascist". Not to take a political stance, but there are definitions for those terms and checking if something is untrue is just a matter if the reality of what candidate X says or does fits that definition.

This is what media was supposed to do and this is what public discourse was meant to be before parties became tribes, before the footballification of politics.

Media has no incentive to do this nowadays, as they have to fight about your brain time with much nicer and more exciting media products.

I used to ship ups back in the day. They gave us software that was connected to them. We could request a shipping label and provide an address. This makes it trackable. We print out the label and put it on the box of the computer we were to build before shipping. Sometimes we had to wait on hard drives or CPU’s because we were out. Then we would qa it for 24 hours before putting the sticker on the box and giving it to ups at 5:15. A week your label was traceable but in reality it wasn’t going anywhere. Once ups picked it up you had regular updates.

I recently went to work for a drop ship company and ups and fedex labels still have a preship phase. This company we had labels printed while we waited for merch to arrive 3 weeks later!
You do not agree with the idea that it definitely requires more than "0 lines written by a backend developer" for most graphql applications to do something like support "ad-hoc GraphQL query requests extra fields"

Really? You actually don't agree with that?

You think that graphql is setup in such a way for most services, that it add "extra fields" to a backend service endpoint, that was not returning those "extra fields" in it before, and that it would require zero lines of backend code in most applications to add those extra fields to a backend endpoint, that was not returning those extra fields before?
I recently wrote a coding exam at uni, the software would randomly delete 'unnecessary' whitespace. We mostly code in python.

The "slap drone" of Iain M. Banks' culture performs a similar function in a different way: IIRC, convicted murders are allowed out, but followed forever by an autonomous drone that will stun (slap) them to prevent further crimes.
Erm, that's a very generous framing. Please read her article on the subject and reevaluate your position:

While it can be a much less painful process than it usually is, in practice it is not.
I think F# is really underused - it fills a very similar spot in the trade off space and from what time I have read has excellent design.
Chances are the aristrocrats were mounted in heavy armor and trivially routed the peasants. Cavalry is powerful.
Seconded on Brother. Mine (B&W laser) is over 7 years old now, does automatic duplex printing, and is on its second toner/drum cartridge. Still trucking along just like it did when it was new. It cost like $120 to buy and only a couple of cents per page.

Of course, their value and longevity means all of these reviews are years out of date so I have no idea if the current models are as good. I hope they are, though.
In Europe we hardly have proper LTE and HSCSD support outside main cities, I couldn't care less about 5G.
I actually haven’t thought deeply about this topic yet.

I think it’s a tricky to judge whether re-inventing the wheel is important and would yield better results or one should just stick with the norms.

And I genuinely believe that we definitely need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to workplaces. Trying to translate a physical workplace to a digital one seems logical but doesn’t feel right. And more importantly, if you come from that side, it surely makes the transition easier for people, but makes it very hard to re-invent the wheel because your lens (how you look at the problem) is now biased.

But then how do you re-invent the wheel?

I think one way is to just question everything and see if the past conclusions still hold true in this new reality. Once you have enough conclusions, you can maybe begin to think about how to model a solution with those conclusions in mind. Makes sense ?

Americans were fighting in Vietnam for about a decade. Bombing was already at high levels in 1965. America pulled out a decade later.

The idea that bombing was working and political issues were the only reason America failed aren't supported by any facts. Saying politics were the issue is mostly used merely an unfalsifiable statement.

If the goal of the wars are redefined to some really narrow goal like just eliminating Saddam, which is revisionist at best, it seems like sending in troops when one targeted bomb on a political event would've worked better is a big oversight. The invasion just caused chaos and more trouble and we still haven't gotten ourselves out of it. Afghanistan is also total chaos, 20 years later. Military might sure isn't helping there.

In most recent conflicts, the winners are generally people with motivation to fight and unpredictable attacks. Sending in aircraft carriers and deploying 50000 young guys to a place they don't know or care about is neither unpredictable or fueled by any deep motivation. People handed a gun and taught how to make a bomb and acting to protect their family from foreign invaders are both.
Having seen such failures in Germany, I think the key reason is that government IT contracting requires two very different skills: Government contracting, and IT. And "contracting" skills are much more important than the latter: It doesn't matter how good your IT skills are, if you aren't good at contracting, you aren't getting the job, but if you're good at contracting, you can get the job, deliver a shitty product, and still make money.

Good IT firms are busy working on free-market projects where they have to deal with 10% of the bureaucracy. It's not worth competing against established players who know how to play the government contractor game much better than you, especially if bidding rules may force the government to pick a contractor that they know will deliver a subpar product because it's cheaper/because their bid is written by someone who knows exactly how to write them.

I suspect that if you want to compete in the market, you need to have a "bureaucracy" team that's at least as big, if not significantly bigger than, your actual software development team. Even in an ideal market that's going to drive prices up.

Edit: It seems like in this case, this quagmire was avoided by having the government build a skilled team in-house, avoiding all the overhead of an army of government bureaucrats interfacing with an army of contractor bureaucrats (which is necessary due to the processes that ensure fair contract awards).

Probably flagged before the amendment of the article which, while debunking one claim of possible fraud, actually confirms another (possible) case, which gives it the "political balance" that might have stilled the flaggers had this been reflected in the title: "Investigating election fraud claims using open data and Dolt".

Regardless, the article details an interesting use case for Dolt (the first I ever heard of it, but looks on the surface like a great idea).

The views of modern world amaze me. In last century, we fought against gender descrimination, then race descrimation (and still continued). Long way to go when time will come to fight against national identity and then planetary.

I am still waiting for time when humanity starts treating animals equally. It doesn't make sense how your race/gender/creed descrimation is different than animal. Only because they can't talk your language, it doesn't mean they don't have feelings or dosnt suffer.

When that generation will come, they will look down us the way we look at slavery in previous centuries.
Good points. I think you’re right about the importance of being able to fight near peers.

> If you buy the second theory, then the major reason there is no war between the US and China or Russia is because they don't believe they can win (which is probably true, as long as the US doesn't try to invade).

There’s also the issue that even for the winner, a war is probably net negative for its people.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/231748269_Rationali... has interesting reasoning on how we can still get war even if states would prefer not to.
Only recently, though, did it start tasting like meat. Or at least like fast food burgers. That's what Beyond Meat and Impossible have done. Impossible adds heme, which tastes like blood. They're both biochemistry companies.

Impossible burgers have no health advantage over meat, and much more salt, but they're trying to improve on that.
