Why are you arguing waiting for a year or longer for any procedure is ok?

That doesn't sound ok to me... and objectively is a massive step backwards from what we have in the US today.

In the US today, no matter if you have zero income, little income, or high income - you can see a doctor promptly and have any procedure performed within a month of less.
I'm surprised that "digitally delicate primes" are rare, why isn't this the majority of primes? That would be my intuition.

I see absolutely no reason for this. You want to share a picture? Fine! Just specify a content type, and the system will present a list of apps capable of handling it to the user.
From Jan 1st 1971 to Dec 31st 2020, the US stock market grew by 10.91%/year CAGR if you include dividends which you should. 7.70%/year CAGR if you don’t include dividends. In that time frame, $1 has grown to $177.33.

I did the math to find out what the melt value of a $10 1913 gold coin would be today in 2021. Over that more than 100 year time frame, the CAGR of gold is 5%/year.

Since 10.91% is far higher than 5% or 7%, I’m inclined to believe that investing in productive companies is far better than investing in a hunk of yellow metal that just sits there.

No, don't build the next Netflix on Simplenetes.

However, if you are just dealing with a three node cluster (Yes I know many of you are running tri-cycles with k8s stickers on it) then maybe it can be fine for many applications to not have a scheduler.

Simplenetes does however support multiple replicas of pods so if one node fails it can be OK.
I know a number of engineers/staff that worked/work at Jobber and they all say great things.

"Unrolling @" was a common bugbear amongst Perl programmers and caused a few I know of to leave for Ruby or Python. Normal, parenthesised parameters were considered experimental until not that long ago so is it any wonder Perl failed to compete with Ruby and Python?

Not sure. I don't think quantum computer would necessarily break bitcoin encryption. I don't think it would come out of nowhere, but if it were to happen, I think there would be a hard fork to change the algo to one that is quantum secure (such algorithms do exist). I have more faith in the organization capabilities of the Bitcoin core developers especially with so much wealth at stake. Compare that to a gold supply shock. You'd have to get a lot of participants and organization to designate an alternative metal as defacto store of wealth. But bitcoin is superior to all of them in terms of verification and fixed supply, so I think they would come over to the dark side as well

IMO internet access (android.permission.INTERNET) needs to be a runtime permission. Ideally with the same kind of granularity as location — one time, while app is in use, in the background (through settings). And give an app a brief window to access the internet after an FCM push, but FCM pushes are also a runtime permission.

But Google being an advertising company would, of course, never ever do this.

If we're going to be super sensitive about the almost non-existent threat of children wrt sars-cov-2

According to the studies I linked above, closing schools during outbreaks saved many, many thousands of (mostly adult) lives. If those studies are correct, the threat is absolutely not "almost non-existent." If you have particular issues with those studies, please share them.

I think it's good to remember that the following can both be simultaneously true:

1. There can be significant mental (and maybe physical!) health risks to keeping your kids home from school.

2. There can be significant physical (and maybe mental!) health risks to sending your kids to school.[0]

Neither point makes the other any less valid.

Every family is different, so everyone's going to weigh those two risks differently, and we need to be generous, patient, and understanding in figuring out how to accommodate each other.

[0] I'm seeing more studies saying mental illness rates are ticking up in Covid survivors relative to other cohorts, so there seems to be a mental health risk that rides the coattails of risk of infection.
1968 is one of a few time periods when people like to say the parties switched (others put it decades earlier). And I understand the ‘65-‘68 theory, probably the most compelling of the theories; but I just don’t think it holds much water beyond the hopeful ambition of the time, diluted as it is by the countervailing evidence in the years since.

I don’t think a Democrat of, say, 1871, would find the practical outcomes of the 2021 party’s racial politics all that alien.
I would have signed up myself for free - a 50% chance to get a promising vaccine now instead of waiting? They weren't doing studies in my area, so I had to wait until after the study for a vaccine to be offered to me.
The more people get vaccinated, the fewer the infections.

The fewer the infections, the fewer the mutations.

The fewer the mutations, the fewer the vaccine resistant variants.

The fewer the vaccine resistant variants, the fewer the need for new vaccines.

The fewer the need for new vaccines, the fewer the need for people to get vaccinated.

Repeat.

It's hard to predict when it will happen, but infections will collapse the same way they spread, but only if people get vaccinated and retain some discipline until the collapse.
Wellfare for the rich.
Long live Perl golf. Can't we have a bit of fun with our language in this anodine, Python-dominated world?
There are a ton of hacks in the Perl parser and interpreter that use context to support otherwise irregular syntax. For example, autovivification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autovivification DWIM is the goal behind TMTOWTDI.

Things like sigil's are useful in this regard because they provide hints that allow extending the language w/ irregular syntax, like with autovivification. Perl wasn't designed; it slowly accreted features as use cases emerged, moderated by implementation constraints, and that was intentional.

Python code today is nowhere near as simple as 20 years ago. Python, Java, and similarly aged languages are ending up w/ a cornucopia of mismatched language syntax and semantics much like Perl, except Perl was never blind to the inevitable. Lua is one of the few exceptions, but that's because Lua has gone through a couple top-down redesigns in addition to its more regular backward compatibility breaks.
Speaking of which, does anyone know what's the story behind those comments on YouTube that are 3-4 sentences made up of a bunch of words that don't match up and look completely random? I see them on almost every new youtube video, almost same frequency as the 'vom' comments.
I hate this toxic anti-thinking attitude.

You may think people should get whatever vaccine is available to them. That is fine. But to actively discourage discussion and information comparing the vaccines is downright Orwellian.

The dynamic between China and Taiwan is complex, with TSMC being only one factor. China has its hands in many pies, and it spans the economic, historical, cultural, and military.

"JavaScript is the best language for writing HTTP servers, because that is what web browsers use."

Doesn't make any sense. LSP is just a protocol. You can write language servers in whatever language you want.
On a related note, some languages become placeholder for "gibberish." For example, English speakers often say "it sounds Greek."

I would expect it to be irrelevant. If being able to factor slightly different numbers was very helpful in factoring a particular number it would already be something we can do; generating known-factorable numbers from a prime is trivial.
Couldn't they just generate a unique fingerprint then?
> Let me see if I can help you.

Nobody here is impressed by you, the condescension sounds ridiculous.

> the expenditure on mining will also be 10x or 100x larger

This is correct, but the assumption that energy will continue to represent a very large part of that expenditure is faulty. There is a huge incentive for miners to mine more efficiently, especially in this hypothetical universe where Bitcoin is driving up energy prices.. That expenditure could easily be disproportionately spent on more efficient hardware / algorithms.

Alternatively Bitcoin might not be using proof of work in this hypothetical future. It's not immutable.
It does add some benefits and can result in a slightly better experience for some apps, but the risk/reward is not worth it at all.
Looks like a great, well-polished note taking app.

Especially like the simple pricing and no vendor lock in.

Well done, might take this for a spin sometime.

In my experience, Windows applications very rarely break, Mac OS apps only break with major changes, and Linux isn't worth supporting in the first place. Setting aside a little bit of money to keep the app working and patched is possible. Charging for the occasional update to make that happen is acceptable too, especially with Apple users.
Ambassador Labs (formerly Datawire) | Developer Advocates, Engineering Manager, Head of Digital Marketing | REMOTE | FULL-TIME

We are building the future of cloud architecture.

Our leadership team
After building Rapid7 and Duo Security, Ambassador Labs’ CEO is partnering with both renowned former CTO at Invision & VP Engineering of New Relic ($3.9B mkt cap), and the former VP Developer Relations at Confluent and Google Cloud Platform, to produce the DevOps stack for Kubernetes.

Kubernetes isn’t just a change in platform; it is a change in the development workflow. Before Kubernetes, monolith applications had static and separate, dev and ops workflows. The workflows had to be fixed and static since everyone was working on a big block of code that would get released at set intervals. The perfect storm of DevOps, microservices and cloud has changed the development process. What was once controlled, static and monolithic is now decentralized, dynamic and focused on developers delivering services, not just code.

Developer Relations is at the forefront of our strategy and we are looking to build the team. If you are currently a Developer Advocate, or a Technologist with a love of teaching, let's talk! Our company is constantly figuring out ways to share with the community. Take a look at our blog: https://blog.getambassador.io/
The Developer Advocate will report to the Head of Developer Relations, Daniel Bryant [InfoQ Editor + QCon Chair + Co-author of "CD in Java" and "Mastering API Architecture" + PhD]. Check out his recent talk on the Past, Present and Future of API Gateways as well as his recent blog post:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPs_OT1c_jY
https://blog.getambassador.io/faster-incident-response-on-ku...

We are also looking for an Engineering Manager to manage two teams for our open source and commercial products, Ambassador Edge Stack and Telepresence. You will be spearheading efforts in driving the future of cloud architecture on kubernetes. Learn more here:
https://www.getambassador.io/products/api-gateway/
https://www.telepresence.io/

Lastly, our CMO is hiring a Head of Digital Marketing to build, run and fine-tune Ambassador Labs’ digital marketing strategy and systems. Our growth/marketing teams is very different than how most traditional software companies are run. If you’d like to read more about our go to market strategy, read about our Product Led Growth model (”Defining Product-Led Growth" section) in the BUILD eBOOK: https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/366266/BUILD_Ebook.pdf

Yeah. Was worth nearly 12 million a few hours ago.
IIRC that model doesn't give apps audio route change notifications when Bluetooth is disconnected, which screws up audio timing. Or something similar, each model has different bugs. But yeah, it doesn't spontaneously catch fire, so on Samsung scale it's good. Reviewers generally don't know about this stuff, because app developers have already worked around it.
I like it! A buddy of mine did something similar: https://jimkirk.org/blog/digitize-the-family-calendar

There has been a lot of speculation on that. It isn't an unreasonable idea. However we don't know if it is true or not. We will have to wait for the 2 dose trials to see how they turn out.
I wonder if SpaceX has anything to do with this.
When I was working for Motorola in 1997, I came up with an idea for something very much like the iPhone (although not as good and it required a stylus as I was thinking in terms of the functionality of the Palm Pilot). But the execution of the iPhone was light years ahead of what I dreamt up while working at Motorola (and since I was a contractor there, I never shared my brilliant idea with anyone who could have put it into development anyway). A phone with no keyboard and just a touchscreen could have been easily sold before the original demo. the difference is that what Apple came up with was far beyond what anyone had imagined.
Took a lot of work to get a vaccine appointment at CVS pharmacy chain in MA. Friend who works in IT there told me over the weekend, they get 10-100X the hits every morning that they have doses for. So apparent lack of activity may just be lack of doses.

But he also said shipments are improving and I also got a message from one of the mass vaccination sites.
Most container ships are much smaller though.

I don't disagree. I addressed this in my post. I don't claim to have a definitive claim that it has outperformed nor do I believe it has. But its curious that it's even up for debate. A fixed supply of something, basically a unit of account. If you denominate prices of "productive assets" in terms of gold, the return is considerably lower when compared to that of fiat.

Gold appreciation was ~0% from 1930-1970. Post fiat-currency it grew at 5-7%. That has to mean something...
> What's going on here in Myanmar should be a lesson to all people.

Yes. The lesson is that when your country is taken over by a military coup, and guys with assault rifles come to shut down the internet, pre-existing laws and rhetoric about free speech and open access and all that other good stuff become completely irrelevant.

You are looking at a wet street, and are claiming that it caused rain.

If you actually want to prevent this from happening here, the step that you should worry about is the coup and the killings, not the internet getting shut down in the following week.

It mentions the days being longer, but what about the years? What even constitutes a year on Mars? Seems like more thought needs to go into how this would work if/when we become interplanetary. Assuming knowing where you are in the year has any value on Mars, we'd want some way to track that. I wonder also how this would work on the moon.
What you're talking about is just wrapping a single value. It's a type-system thing.

What we're talking about are wrapping compound values. It's a VM implementation thing.

They're not really comparable.
Storage development is wickedly hard to do well. Kudos for working on something hard!
Lead time is usually not a huge issue as long as the lead time is consistent. 3 days or 3 months is usually not a problem since you can build you manufacturing process around a given lead time. The cost of transport is going to be much more of a concern. If it takes one month to get a driveshaft in and three months to get windshields, you just order the windshields a couple months earlier than the driveshafts since you won't need the windshields until the last bit of the assembly line. Lead times are an issue for perishable goods though. If your pomegranates are going to be rotten by the time they arrive in port, whats the point.
