There were a few backend products that used server-side JS before Node.js

The Netscape Server had JS in 1998.

A Dutch taxi company is taking Tesla to court over “defective” cars
Uh, no, it does not.

It takes Samwise Gamgee, a devoted and skilled gardener, spending a year of his life planting new trees to replace the ones that were lost.

Yes, he uses a magical resource he was given as part of his reforestation campaign, but it just speeds up the growth. The real factor is still Sam's tireless labor.

Outlook and Exchange aren't going to be killed off like that. Too many corporate customers and governments use it, email holds up in court these days as official communications. Larger users of that have it on-prem.

Think if you run IT for a large (>5000 people) company, what benefit would there be for a project to change your entire email stack? A new provider would have to check off all those compliance, governance, security, etc. check-boxes and then some. That is what Slack would be up against to get into that market.

In a way, they are killing email. A lot of communication across 3 or more people used to only be via email. Now it happens in Slack (or MS Teams I suppose)
Not a lawyer myself, but as far as my understanding goes you are identifying your user already by determining his ip, and all the transformations you do to create an id is still reversible with the fixed seeds in your script - so you'll end up sending data to google that makes the user idenfiable nonetheless, so i HIGHLY doubt this is a legitimate way around gpdr.

correct me if I'm making wrong assumptions here, as staid - not a lawyer either, just having lots to do with the topic as a EU based webdeveloper.

"Lacking any meaningful choice" on more locked-down platforms like the smartphone OS-es is a better choice of words. But when you get down to it and if you are into a bit more dramatic language, "enslaved" (with proper context attached) isn't that far off, no?

Netscape Enterprise Server executed server-side JavaScript ("SSJS")

Honestly, if you’re just a small personal website or blog then just don’t bother with those idiotic cookie consent banners. Use Google Analytics or whatever makes you happy and nobody will ever say anything to you unless you’re an extremely famous person and even then the chances of someone ever bothering you regarding a GA cookie is very unlikely. Especially if you’re a tech blog your readers know how cookies work and how to protect themselves from “tracking” so you’re not even doing anyone a favour. It’s pure annoyance with zero benefit. Obviously if you’re a big corp you’ll have to comply, but I’d even question then what the EU is really going to do. Just write a page of how you use data and be honest, transparent and ethical about it and spare yourself to bastardise your beautiful website with EU shenanigans. And I’m from the EU and even dislike it.

Polish stock trading app (ING) has been down for 47 hours and counting
I saw her ted talk to understand more about her viewpoint. Looks like she is only interested in increasing the demands for black people and that too women. Because she says, "products should be tested on all types of customers". The natural follow up to this is how do we define types? Race is only the first level, very soon within race also, we will see people forming groups.
My system as of right now...

Todoist on my phone for tasks. I like todoist because it's got a nicely polished interface and an excellent API.

I use an AWS Lambda to define and push repeating tasks into Todoist at set times, it also moves tasks from certain lists into my inbox at certain times of the day/week. Basically I don't want to fiddle with setting times or scheduling in todoist except for one off scheduled tasks. I just want to put tasks into the right lists and let the lambda move them into the inbox when I need to do them.

This is effectively a kind of timeboxing so I generally do all my work in the morning till early afternoon and then do research/admin for the next days tasks in the afternoon.

For notes and project management I use Roam Research which I found suited me best.
Why would you get a 2k screen and then render a 1k image on it?
I'm curious about your comment. I'm no longer a junior but I'm trying to invest more time into FP as I hear that it might make me a better problem solver. I see a lot of people recommending HTDP and SICP.

My question is, in your opinion what makes HTDP so good to make your friends learn unrelated things quicker than others? Do you think that is only a matter of designing functions or there's some other transferable skills too?
log files have a different original purpose. But yes, if you repurpose your log files to track individual users granularly, that processing would be illegal without gathering informed consent first.
When you dump the bowl of candies into your backpack, there are no more candies left for anyone else. On the other hand, when you scrape, all the original data and its underlying use case remain just as they are. You simply having scraped took nothing away from anyone.
I thought Ethereum but was pleased to find this instead, especially as I'm currently working on a network benchmarking project for Ethereum!
I would say for me it's the user interface and general user experience. I find 1Pass more intuitive to use, the dedicated Mac and iOS apps are lovely and I also love the blog and general vibe of the 1Password company. Personality goes a long way! :)

I know people who think the exact opposite though, so give it a go and see what you think!
To summarize: up till now, Java Threads have been 1:1 with OS threads. They’re limited to a few thousand per JVM. This project moves to an M:N threading model but retains the Thread API. It allows for millions of threads per JVM and async/await style performance of the existing synchronous Java libraries without language changes and with minimal changes to the standard library.
Yes, I agree, only it's not about the percentages alone. I'll quote from my post from April (1) which was already in the context of Covid-19, where I quote the start of the presentation by Al Bartlett:

https://www.albartlett.org/presentations/arithmetic_populati...

"It's a great pleasure to be here, and to have a chance just to share with you some very simple ideas about the problems we're facing. Some of these problems are local, some are national, some are global.

They're all tied together. They're tied together by arithmetic, and the arithmetic isn't very difficult. What I hope to do is, I hope to be able to convince you that the greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."

That's why when some hear that R=1.2 can be catastrophic and R=1 can be fine they just switch off. And there is exactly that "only 20% percent" difference.

But many developments in nature that work against humans have exponential behavior, including the stuff that humans do.

Somebody once named the video of that Bartlett's presentation "The Most Important Video You'll Ever See" and in this case it's not a clickbait.

Edit: What's the name of the book you mention?

Inform, guide, educate, and lobby relentlessly. Find allies and champions in the structures that are generating the data. Find a way to recruit them, onboard them, and make them care about this. Find a way to have them lobby their organization for better data formats, or anything that will make your job easier and make them successful.

Address the fear of being replaced by software and "AI" as soon as possible, and as frequently as possible. People view you and what you do as a threat to their position; convince them otherwise.

Frame problems in terms they understand. Find what they care about, and find how the work will impact what they care about.

This requires a systematic and consistent effort and positive energy. It is not easy to do the same pitch with the same enthusiasm for the sixth time on the same day at different places, but this is what it takes.

There's a level of trust and goodwill you have to build before anything gets done until it magically unlocks. You will doubt at times because the machinery moves very slow. You also need to be aware of how every person in every organization is thinking, what their motivations and incentives are, how the org chart works, how the "shadow org chart works", what they have to gain or lose, who's the decision maker (in title, in reality, not necessarily the same person) and who that decision maker listens to, who's competing for which position, who's in good or bad terms with who, who started this project and do they have support, did that person inherit the project and wants to "start over" with a clean slate so their predecessor does not get the credit. What position they're aiming for. This is how this works. This is not a CSV/JSON problem.

Have read all the books to date and seen the show. There are dragons in it. There is magic in it. There are mystical people and what appears to be spirits and ghosts and witches.

People get badly wounded and yet no one dies of a bacterial infection. There are buildings constructed in ways that our physics wouldn’t support with the assumed materials and tolerances of the assumed period.

There are undead - in fact they are introduced in the prologue of the first book. There is a massive ice wall made by humans in an area that is, as described in the books in permanent winter but yet inhabited by people. And giants. And a few days ride to places that have warm summers. And oh yeah, the seasons last years instead of months and are irregular and unpredictable in length.

But yes, the lands the fictional Dothraki people roamed in should be similar to our grasslands in terms of climate and appropriate garb.
I think it’s a fetish and a quickly readable way to indicate raw and unbridled strength. They are so strong and quick they don’t need armor, realistic weaponry or anything else, they’ll kill you anyway. I think it’s also supposed to indicate an inferior culture stemming from the more puritanical cultures of the western world. The west knows enough to cover themselves and use proper armor, the barbarians don’t. The barbarians are feared and mocked because of this in most media I’ve seen.
Whatever can be killed by adblockers should be. 95% of the web consists of bloated javascript made by overpaid frontend devs that's less functional than a plain text file.

So the ad money runs dry and nobody can afford to push 20 megabytes of javascript and fonts with every page view anymore. What a tragedy.

> Any correctly-coded website will try a local source first, which should help a lot for poor connections.

Then Google Fonts is not correctly coded, as it'll use remote font only. And myriads of websites reusing Google Fonts snippets. To try local source first, you have to explicitly ask for it in @font-face/src which Google Fonts does not do.

So installing font into your OS won't help you with any website using Google Fonts service.

> Plus given that it is a tourist atttraction now, the fine would likely not be that high.

It _was_ a tourist attraction, as it has already been removed by now. Given that it was an unwanted tourist attraction, causing people to litter there and disturb the local wildlife, I think the responsible agency would want to enforce a fine as much as they can.
Any process that isn't flying to rural Africa and going door to door is biased.
Yeah, I remember people talking about Rhino when node.js originally came out, saying things like it's been tried before and wouldn't catch on.
Being vaccinated doesn't mean your body instantly kills any virus it comes in contact with. It can still use your body to replicate and spread until your immune system properly tidies it up.
They are are using a 53-bit hash cyrb53 [1] of the string "IP address + website domain + user agent + language + validity days". It looks feasible that many of the generated IDs could be retroactively brute-force mapped back to an IPv4 address with high confidence (small chance of error due to hash collisions).

honestly this is terrible advice. I know it's annoying to many people, but the EU isn't autonomously pursuing corps big or small - its legislation will kick into action if _anyone_ files a complaint after visiting your website, and you'll be subject to the same possible penalties as anyone.

Indeed it's better to use intrinsics in new code rather than rely on compiler magic

Portability is an issue though, that works on GCC/Clang but you need a different intrinsic for MSVC

On the other hand hand-washing is severely deficient there.
For a starter, having no integer types and non-symmetric comparison operators looks technically wrong to me.

There is an important difference with Kotlin coroutines. In Kotlin you still have the problem of colored functions [1], those marked with `suspend` and the regular functions. You can't call suspend functions from regular functions and the world is divided in blocking and non blocking APIs (e.g Thread.sleep() vs delay()). And then you have to use things like `runBlocking` to bridge these two worlds.

If I understand correctly, Loom breaks that wall completely. You don't need to mark functions as `suspend`, the runtime is just smart enough to do the right thing. For example, if you call Thread.sleep() on a regular OS thread, then that will block, but if you run it on a light weight thread, it will suspend instead, allowing the runtime to use the OS thread for another task.

And there is one more thing: because Loom is implemented at the VM level, that means that when using Lightweight threads you get all the good things you typically get with regular threads: Proper stacktraces and native debugging and profiling support.

You're assuming the bugs are required. Residency as it is now is a terrible system that had no need to exist in its life destroying form. The industry had already figured this out and is moving work from doctors to nurses and PAs and offshore radiologists who don't need a residency.
That looks like Borderlands 3... I've beaten the game and never had such a problem.

My main grumble was the distinct lack of choice; we were _made_ to use Microsoft products and services. I didn't pay however much money to be wrapped up in an MS marketing/recruiting campaign that I couldn't opt out of.
Struggle sessions were still horrible Maoist actions back then, not the "progressive" thing some call for them to be today. :P
Also, Javascript didn't require a compiler, and Java applets were notoriously slow.
It was also an option for IIS as well as vbscript in classic ASP pages.
I'd say this is no longer true - use a search engine in incognito/tor and google 'Eth'. It's only about Ethereum except for a few ETH Zurich links, and you even see a wikipedia page about the old English letter eth ð before anything related to Ethernet.

It was. I developed sites using Netscape Livewire, the server side JS in Netscape Enterprise Server. It was probably closer to ASP and PHP scripting, mixing HTML, client-side JS, and server-side JS in the same file.
This article is quite fishy, by including the Google Analytics snippet you are always exposing your visitor's IP to Google.
And then age...

I'm an eighties whizz-kid, educated hardware and software background with borderline epiphanic understanding of computer technology. From firmware to systems where peoples lives literally depend on. In 2000 jumped on a plane to Taiwan to develop the first Arduino/RaspberryPi class devices. Still up to date and currently busy polishing a ShowHN which will blow you off your socks.

Everything nowadays is shrink-wrapped out-of-the-box, hidden behind layers of frameworks. Programming languages becoming a fashion statement. Everyone seems to copy-paste stack-overflow and even then the answers are like "Why?" because it seems nobody reads specifications.

But...

Finding a job position is impossible.

How many operations and objects? The method he’s talking about would seem more efficient for the purpose vs all of the strings still being created even if never used in the plain hash version.
In the world without bad actors nobody would need passwords. Should we blame universe, bad actors or just accept that the world is hostile?

That said, some decisions should be left to user. I would choose proper caching over theoretical privacy improvement any day.
I still don't know why they stuck the "Java" name on JavaScript. Very confusing when the two languages are completely unrelated.

> Java programs and JavaScript scripts are designed to run on both clients and servers, with JavaScript scripts used to modify the properties and behavior of Java objects, so the range of live online applications that dynamically present information to and interact with users over enterprise networks or the Internet is virtually unlimited.

Was this level of integration ever achieved? Did Java applets actually have a JS API? Or is this just corporate double speak.
Masks are a pointless waste of time when it comes to containing the pandemic.

Yes yes, I know. Just let me explain.

Masks DO help prevent the range particles can travel when you breathe. I'm not arguing that. The fact is, however, they're useless in comparison to the ACTUAL champions of prevention.

And that would largely be hygiene. I'm willing to bet 99% of you reading this do not clean your fingernails properly while washing your hands. Which is fine, THAT'S how good soap is. Doing it poorly is orders of magnitude better than not doing it all.

Is the same true of masks? Absolutely not. If you don't wear a mask properly, it's useless. It gets worse with specialised gear, like the N95s. You need to be trained on how to fit, test and adjust that. Have a beard? Not gonna work. Small leak out the top? Nope, it's buggered.

You ever notice how developing nations struggle with higher infant mortality rates, caused by preventable communicative diseases like cholera? It's because they don't wash their hands with soap. Soap is literally a life saver [0]. There's a damned good chance it's saved you a nasty infection, if not your life, directly or otherwise.

It's strange to me we understand why gloves aren't effective, but somehow that logic gets lost when masks pop up. If you don't know how to stop yourself from contaminating your environment, you're really not getting anything from wearing a mask. Or gloves. Or scrubs.

China is a fantastic example of this. They just ignored the whole "human rights" problem and went straight to welding people into their own homes [1]. Highly effective. Conversely, they'd been wearing masks for a long time because of their air pollution. Clearly not very effective. (The point here is the behavior and the objective is more important than the mask).

Here's what we should be focusing our energy on:

1. Social Distancing

2. Wash your hands properly [2]

3. Coughing etiquette

4. And then, finally, PPE including masks. If you don't know how to use gloves properly, then don't waste your money (because we all seem to forget economics is also a problem to solve here).

JUST focusing on masks won't cut it. Rather focus on JUST washing your hands then. You will see a much larger return on investment there. That evidence is also irrefutable. Compare the rate of death from communicable diseases in areas where washing with soap is prevalent to areas where it is not. SARS-CoV-2 has a lipid bi-layer, so soap will destroy it.

Nothing angers me about examining it. It’s just a very poor examination. It makes all types of assumptions about climate in a land where the seasons lasted years and were unpredictable in their length.

We don’t know which parts Martin was inspired by. To
make broad assumptions while ignoring facts like the mysterious ways seasonality worked in this fantasy land makes for an incoherent and nonsensical critique of Dothraki garb.

At no point does Martin even use any earthly culture as exposition.
