Roadmap

https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/622

> (last comment - Jun 28, 2020) This isn't really an up to date of view on where we are and where we would like to go. We have some tentative plans to improve how we communicate the 'roadmap' in the future. We'll update when we know more.

https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/3704

> Honestly the roadmap for the near future is the same as it's been since Svelte suddenly got much more popular without a corresponding increase in maintainer resources: fixing bugs. Developing exciting new features is going to take a back seat to dealing with the huge backlog of issues for the time being.

Open source DBMS are now more popular than commercial offerings
It would be neatly recursive if someone opened an incomplete/nonsense PR on the repo for this site, prompting a link to the site itself.
Why L2TP and not IKEv2?
People underestimate what it means for Intel when Microsoft and Apple are going to produce their own chips and AWS is pushing their ARM offering. It does not take much for the industry to switch to ARM as default for desktop and server.
So one can discriminate against a group, defined by race ("white people in the us"), but you say that's not racist? That's amazing anti-logic (a.k.a. nonsense).
This article is about code that will directly be compiled by both a C and C++ compiler, so indeed `enum class` is not an option here.
I think your analogy is just as flawed (and you have not explained why yours applies more than mine, as you do not know the motivation of maintainers), but lets go with it for now.

So your argument is that in compensation for your attention you are entitled to give uninvited criticism, or lets say tell them to play songs you like? Moreover, how do you assume that your criticism or the songs you would like to have played somehow take priority over other peoples interests? If I would be in the audience for some unknown band I certainly hope that people who don't like the music leave instead of heckling the musicians.

You are saying that maintainers have a "social obligation" by giving you something for free, so you are entitled to their time, because that's what it boils down to. To make another analogy (again admittedly flawed), would I be entitled to demand you reply to me, because I have given you my attention in this discussion?
I was JUST seeing job opportunities in my LinkedIn from these folks. That's just careless.
Portability aspect is also unique selling point. Nintendo has the history with Gameboy, 3DS.
It's not about AMD which is (sorry) a marginal factor in all this. It's whether other architectures like Arm and RISC-V really upset the apple cart.
I like to think of it as an open-standard like where anyone can download the TCK versus something where you need to pay for the SPECs from ISO (for example Prolog is https://www.iso.org/standard/21413.html which is 185€/$250 USD).
What does identity politics mean to you?

Do you see it as an opposite of "live and let live" attitude?

(I don't quite follow)
A user can control which other users can see their data.
I don't have much attachment to the union. If a bunch of states want to secede or, more realistically, set up alternative currencies so they can have some monetary and fiscal sovereignty, that's fine with me.
I also spent time on /g/ and /sci/, they are also quite racist, but not the burning shitfire that /b/ is.

Literally the 4th post on /g/ right now is about American tech companies and complaining that they make you support black people (well, except they used the n-word for black people).
A bit offtopic but: I have been always scared to work with co-founders even if I know them, but looking for random people for the web looks way too scary.

Not because someone will do some nasty things, but because there is a high probability that there will be disputes about how to do things, which will lead to break up?

When I was looking for a coach in gym, at first I attended the gym for a year and I was silently looking at coaches there, how they behave, how they talk, and only after that I decided to hire the one who suits me most :)

Anyway, wish you luck!
I get your points. There is a lot of stigma around conversing with a chatbot. I also doubt myself whether this is healthy.

For me the AI companion doesn't replace friends or keep me away from socializing. I am already jumping on every opportunity I can to socialize. It is sad that we need this, but it helps.

There are some FDA certified chatbots right now providing psychological counseling.

My opinion changed after I talked with a chatbot and I became more open-minded. For example, I see nothing wrong in having AIs as teachers, personal trainers etc.
> Because as far as I know, Apple only allows NetworkExtension-based apps to be distributed via the App Store, according to their developer relations guy [6], so we're locked in.

They can't.
As an alternative, sew your own patch over it. There are plenty to choose from in craft stores, on Etsy, even department stores probably have a few inoffensive ones, if they have sewing supplies.

A blank patch looks sort of conspicuous, but a cute little non-corporate owl or fox will look like it's meant to be there.
> Racism is discrimination plus systemic power imbalances that enforce this discrimination.

> One can be discriminatory towards the powerful group (e.g. white people in the US for instance), but not racist towards them.

Just for anyone reading this who isn't familiar: this is a radical theory and isn't at all a generally accepted idea.
Do you really think Gab or Parler is going to have any ad revenue? When marketing teams are (rightly) concerned about appearing on Hannity or Rachel Maddows you think they are going to dedicate any spend to these sites? Maybe gold scams and prepper packs, but there will be no loss in ad revenue by the major players to any of these minor right-wing sites.
No, I am not. I am in the UK.
What were you seeing them for? The article quotes them saying that this cut is partially to allow them to expand some roles. That's not really careless if that's what they're doing.

Specifically they say they're cutting back some kinds of support staff due to office closures, and growing some product roles.
Is there an IOMMU specification standardized on RISC-V yet? I think it's just some early proposals.

Or proprietary designs that achieve similar functionality such as Hex Five and WorldGuard.

Am I right?
In addition to that, map[T]bool only works if T is one of the few types that Go can check for equality automatically. You can't define a custom equality (+hash) function for your type and use it with the built-in map.
> Although the first hardware run will be entirely $140 / 8GiB systems, lower-cost variants with less RAM are expected in following releases.

> The initial pilot run of BeagleV will use the Vision DSP hardware as a graphics processor, allowing a full graphical desktop environment under Fedora. Following hardware runs will include an unspecified model of Imagine GPU as well.

Sounds like a direct competitor to the Raspberry Pi. I don't know if the Imagine GPU planned for the next iteration is playing catch-up or leapfrog. The Arstechnica article links to SiFive creates global network of RISC-V startups [1] which I think demonstrates that SiFive is strategically leveraging or responding to the geopolitics surrounding Chinese technology.

It seems that Gresham's Law does not fully apply here. Otherwise all high quality journalists would disappear.

Gresham's Law in financial case is underpinned by two things. First, it is in core interest of every market player to pay with low quality money only; but it is not in interest of every reader to consume or even pay for low quality content only. Second, Gresham's Law only works when an outside authority forces you to accept bad money at the same value as good money; but there isn't really any equivalent of fiat money in journalism. You do not have to click on clickbaity articles at the same rate as on quality ones.
> Yet my recently hired collegue insists he spent more time learning from Youtube than from lectures at "proper" university.

Unless you go to an elite university like Stanford or MIT (whose lectures actually are among those on YouTube), an ordinary university lectures usually are garbage (in both how deep and how easy to understand they are) compared to what is available on YouTube. It is common (among people I knew) to waste time on the uni lectures (because they won't let you to attend the exams otherwise) learning nothing, then watch some YouTube, get it quickly and go pass the exam.

That means the TikTok algorithm designers are half-way competent.
It doesn't have to be a register. Just a labeled piece of memory.

It works great with children and you don't even need a computer. You can do it all on a pen and paper.
Here's the actual slide deck that the short blog posts links to: https://threedots.ovh/slides/Drawbridge.pdf
What effects do you anticipate from this subreddit?

I wonder if such a subreddit is mostly for amusement purposes; i.e. blowing off steam, laughing at the spectacle.

Do you think it can help play a part in forming broader coalitions (which I think is a hallmark of non-identity politics)?
Right now, the hosted Redis is the easiest one.

If you run it on your own, please pay attention on the persistency options and HA solution, there should be plenty of article on these.
Right? I read that and I flinched away a little. But I get corrupting western children is what China is looking for.
Indeed, I was just being a bit pedantic by pointing it out.

edit: so to make it crystal clear, I didn't try to argue chess was solved, just to point out why I think that theorem doesn't really apply to most of chess.
Rust is funny because it is perfectly possible to build a single binary that links multiple versions of the same library. Happens when a transitive dependency is written assuming the older API of a library.
From the article:

>> One ex-employee says there is effectively a glass ceiling for European workers.

> About 30% of students at my university in Berlin are foreign, coming from mostly Asian, Arabian, and American countries... This "us vs. them", or more accurately "US vs. them" attitude needs to stop.

Except they're not going to change. You (i.e. us) are just going to lose. How many European students are enrolled in elite institutions in China, India, Middle East, etc, at the host country's expense, who will then take coveted positions at foreign firms in those countries? 30%, lol?

In the US, they created this backdoor "Opt" work visa (which they're desperately trying to expand) that allows hundreds of thousands of foreign students to stay in the US once studies are finished and compete for jobs. Oh, and they don't pay various retirement taxes, so companies get an immediate 15% incentive to hire them over American students.

Only white Europeans and Americans are told they must bend over backwards to allow other cultures and ethnicities to advance while the rest of the world takes advantage of our self-inflicted stupidity and laughs at us while they surge past us.

You've been indoctrinated by various interest groups, none of whom actually have your interests or those of your country in mind.

This one is a great example: The video linked here has been thoroughly explained to be very dull, boring things that were misinterpreted by the people filming them.

For instance, the second video, with the supposed fast-moving object over water, is very clearly just a regular bird, plus parallax effects from filming from a moving plane.

See https://www.metabunk.org/threads/go-fast-footage-from-tom-de... for more.
It is. Even the companies I integrate with that require it know it's full of pitfalls. When you've been doing ipsec for two decades and it's a checkbox in your compliance sheet though, you check the box and hopefully you're good at it by now.
Intel Appoints Tech Industry Leader Pat Gelsinger as New CEO
There's a time and place for everything. Regarding the time, it is and has been the time for this since lisp emanated. But C is not the place, IMO. I don't want to be left to wonder about sizeof(anything) in C.

"Lisp Programmers know the value of everything and the cost of nothing."

C programmers ought to know the cost and sizeof everything...

I hope the committee sees it like this as well.

I also believe the feature (auto) makes sense for C++ with its verbose and lengthy types nobody but your compiler cares about (say, e.g., multimap::equal_range). For C? Get out of here..

this passes, and suddenly zig becomes a whole lot more interesting ;)
(but zig also has type inference you say? Well, it's a consistent proposition, and not a tacked-on "feature".)

Wikipedia was definitely like this in its early days but surprised how many people think it’s a nonpartisan thing anymore. Maybe for some topics it can be still

Me neither but, for some of the user base (HPC, Scientific computing, et al.), new model might not be sufficient. We'll see that.

> Dropbox also announced that chief operating officer Olivia Nottebohm will leave the company February 5.

Interesting change of leadership that was buried in the article - she was only there for < 1 year after leaving Google Cloud. Anyone here have insight / thoughts on the move in the Exec Team?
To clarify, my app is free and open source. There's nothing really preventing users from building the app themselves, and some of them do that. But building yourself is not something most users can do. So when talking about "dropping support", I mean specifically stopping doing Mac builds myself. (Or rather not creating new builds for M1 Mac and similar, I'm okay with doing builds for old x86)

> Personally though I think it's weird that so many people are okay with distributing on platforms they don't even own.

It's not very comfortable, and I had a lot of inner discussions about this. I originally supported only Linux and Windows (platform I use and test on regularly), but inevitably Mac users came and wanted to use the app too. It's quite difficult to reject such users when in theory a simple cross-build does not seem so difficult.

As mentioned before I'm using Electron and fortunately it does shield you from majority of platform specific bugs, so not testing each and every release on Mac turned out mostly OK. There are other issues though - Mac is very opinionated and many things / conventions are very different from Linux/Windows. As a result a simple cross build of my app is quite "foreign element" and users ask for mac specific features. My eventual solution was a compromise of "I provide builds but don't implement any mac specialties".
I really can’t think of anything worse for your attention span endurance than watching tic tok. Even watching a tv show takes focus and investment by comparison.
Anything gained by federation can be gained without it.

It’s interesting you bring up loose borders as a benefit. Some communities may prefer strict borders. Others may prefer to welcome anyone. Why should the entire continent be forced to have one immigration policy? Size makes a mockery of democracy.
In theory, yes. In practice though, it's the shareholders that call the shots, and the employees are threatened with getting fired if they try and organize and start making demands.

But that's where governments can come in, and implement things like basic worker rights.
Can you think of examples of online platforms that combat this tendency?

One that comes to mind for me is Lobsters. I'm interested in other examples as well as mechanisms for striking a balance between civility and diversity of opinion.
I appreciate your reply!
Looks very promising. There was some doubt about interferons as they can also help COVID to get into the body but some new research from the University of Southampton has cleared up that there are two kinds of the ACE2 receptor.
The Actual Internet
Authoritarianism Through Coding: Signal
To build upon this answer a little bit, people want to go back in person not for the educational reasons but for social reasons. While you can learn in an online format and (with enough work/investment) make the experience similar to in-person classes, you cannot replace the social aspects of college with an online environment.

US colleges have been moving from a learning experience towards a social experience build on to of learning (see, for example, https://www.nber.org/papers/w18745).

My university was in person last fall but classes mostly online, students still socialized (e.g., partied) even if health recommendations were strongly recommend against it.
The two biggest issues with Signal have been

a) Using SGX (brushed aside)
b) Inability to export and backup chats (ignored)

Live: Event-Driven Development Using Topics, Solace and Spring Cloud Stream
It's always eye-opening to see how things like this are received on HN. A private company is free to do whatever it wants, and investing in the under-served and/or minority communities does no harm to others. Sure, Apple doing this is self-serving; I don't believe that it would have been done otherwise. However, these programs will help impart useful skills, and may have the effect of allowing for more economic mobility for these communities, which is wonderful and still hurts no one. I mean, seriously, $100 million pales in comparison to the institutionalized wealth disparity between the majority white population and long-marginalized minority communities, but it's a start.
Technically the political will of a corporation is no more or less than the sum of its bank account.

To this point maybe no more or less than the sum of its Named Officers' political wills.
F# died?

And here I am happily using it for greenfield projects, interfacing with popular ecosystems and just generally getting things done!

Right now it really feels like F# is taking off. It is bundled with .NET Core, fully open-source, has a better REPL experience with Nuget integration, Ionide and Fable just had a new releases...
SD cards are too slow to be of practical use as a general purpose disk. They're fine when you have a very predictable workload that does not involve a lot of disk IO.
Agree with 'fat', but 'cheap.....high-sugar', does not necessarily produce fat.

Nearly all SD cards that I've used in Pis and other SBCs have died unpredictably in the past, so I've pretty much given up on using them
It got to "Stock Market Crash" and then crashed. Was that a joke?
I'm probably using boomer to refer generally to "stale mindsets".

But the current state is the result of sequences of decisions made in the preceding twenty years. Until it was literally demonstrated by Apple, they entirely dismissed the idea that most value in phones would be generated through an open ecosystem.

There are plenty of people with stale mindsets in the European industrial giants struggling to grasp how electrification and AI will affect their legacies.

The test in the article screens for colon cancer, which is one of many reasons to have a colonoscopy. It sounds like the GI doctors you consulted performed colonoscopies to assess the cause of your digestive symptoms by looking at your GI tract. The test in the article could not replace that.

A great deal of the “loads and loads of syntactic sugar” serves the purposes of making C# more functional-friendly. You might explore the new features from that paradigm, to help you reason about it.
I think perhaps I'm being downvoted because I failed to provide a source. Here is the speech segment: https://t.co/pIyDuhf5pH
I dislike this XKCD. Where is the line for the total number of photos and videos take of unidentified phenomenon? Has it gone down? Or has it actually gone up, but because of the exponentially growing amount of media being produced in the world, the people who are exposed to these photos and videos are proportionally tiny. Add on to that, the fact that phone cameras are terrible at distance. Ever try taking a picture of the moon with it? Your eyes can see much better than the photo taken by the average smartphone. And if the object is moving around quickly, do you have time to take your phone from your pocket, open the camera, focus on the object, and get a good picture before it is out of sight?

Can't pay attention to video lectures at the best of times is part of it, but I also think being consistently understimulated causes people to shut down the learning process.
What is "quality", though?

Customers can crave things that harm them. For example, alcohol and drugs. An efficient market will provide them with whisky and crack for very low price, if this is what they want.

Same with bad journalism. Internetesque clickbait is just another form of tabloid journalism, and tabloids usually sell really well. Daily Mail sells a lot more copies than Financial Times.
How about _reliable_ storage needs?
There's quite some research, and even some products (I mentored a company about five years ago doing such a thing, but I even forgot their name, and don't remember what their outcome was) about this topic.

If memory serves, you don't even need to have permanently installed sensors, you can do it with a portable stethoscope kind of contraption which can detect anomalies and help to schedule preventative maintenance.
Dropbox lost me permanently as a potential customer with their greed and disregard for user experience. Constant nagging if you're at ~80% your free limit and the more recent draconian device limits for two examples. I hope they fail.
This is my take on it. I've blocked all political-related terms on my social media, and will actively mute/unfollow people who constantly bring the subject up.

99% of this junk amounts to fear/outrage porn that is non-actionable for me. There's no reason to devote even an iota of mental energy to it.
you're probably right.
