Programming Paradigms In 40 Minutes [video]
Arc just allows sharing between multiple threads, it doesn't prescribe any sort of locking.

If they're sharing a connection pool then each HTTP request would get its own connection out of the pool, and they'd be concurrent (access to the pool may or may not be serialised depending on the pool's details, sqlx is internally mutated not externally locked for instance).

The mailer might be behind a mutex (its access completely serialised), or the "mailer" might just be the input side of a queue / channel, and the actual mailing work be done in a separate process (that seems way more likely than bounding the request on sending emails really).

Anti-racism education? Yes. This harmful form of anti-racism education? No, this is borderline non-existent. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't take it seriously where it appears. Unfortunately, there is a ton of noise around it. Just like anything you can split across ideological lines, party A would like you to believe this never happens, or is in fact a good thing, and party B would like you to believe this is quickly becoming ubiquitous and we must stop the oppressive monsters at any cost.

I want to be perfectly clear that I didn't bring this up to be alarmist. Jesse Gelsinger's death shed a lot of light on the risks involved with adenoviruses [1]. Those lessons have been carried forward.

>> An autopsy and subsequent studies indicated that his death was caused by a fulminant immune reaction (with high serum levels of the cytokines interleukin-6 and interleukin-10) to the adenoviral vector.

>> The data suggested that the high dose of Ad [adenoviral] vector, delivered by infusion directly to the liver, quickly saturated available receptors ... within that organ and then spilled into the circulatory and other organ systems including the bone marrow, thus inducing the systemic immune response.

He was injected with >3 × 10^13 viruses [2]. The typical J&J dose contain: low-dose (5x10^10 viral particles) or high-dose (1x10^11 viral particles) [3].

In common law countries, it's nearly impossible to write a legal document that's completely unambiguous. Even if it's unambiguous at the time the document is written, the underlying law could change at any time. Of course that could happen in civil law countries too, but it'd be from a statute being changed.

Funny; I have a Polish friend who lives in France and LOVES peanut butter. When she travels to the US she always maxes out her luggage weight with peanut butter on the return trip. I'm sure there are outliers everywhere.

An Italian friend said his mom would say "who puts peanuts on bread?", but she'd slather hazelnuts and chocolate (Nutella) on bread all day long. I think it's just what people get used to.
It is, though. In other languages the etymology is even clearer. In German the place is called Russland for instance.

I haven't seen any news articles provide a point of comparison of how the number of people receiving the J&J vaccine and experiencing this particular kind of clotting. The first academic-ish article on the subject I could find indicated a typical baseline of 15.7 cases per million (https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/STROKEAHA.116.0...). If that's true, I don't get it - why would we stop roll out of any vaccine when the baseline (15.7) is higher than the problem that is being claimed (1 per million)?
It also ignores differences in population. Several European countries have more deaths per capita than the United States. So far, the UK had 200 more deaths per million (11% more). The Czech Republic had 900 more per million (53% more).

If it is something that's a hundred plus years out then we'll probably need whatever tech develops in the mean time to help, but since it's hard to know that seems reasonable for people to be working on it now?

It's also possible to figure things out before the necessary tech is possible (I think a lot of CS papers in the 60s became more interesting later when the hardware caught up to be more useful, arguably the recent NN stuff falls into this category too).
We don't know any of that. What if it ends up killing more than that?

Exactly. How can somebody claim to program in Erlang and also claim that Rust introduced pattern matching to them?

Erlang has the best pattern matching abilities and it is all around in every single Erlang code I have ever seen.

I copy the whole text of web pages I visit. It's not automatically breach of copyright.

That said, meaningful fulltext search will need data. But both Bing and Google crawl pages.

It's not even immediately clear that displaying a copy of a page is materially different from caching (which http do in many, many layers).

Now, if présent the text as your own - that might be a problem.

I'll add something: if a string [^1] contains essentially only ASCII [^2] characters v8 will use 1 byte per character, if that string contains _any_ character other than ASCII characters in it then it will use 2 bytes for each character in the string. Said it differently storing strings as lines may save you up to 50% of memory usage depending on your use case.

[^1]: It actually depends on how that string was made, if internally it still references the parent string then slicing it up into lines won't save you any memory. I'm referring to "flattened" strings.

[^2]: I don't remember what the exact character set is, I think it's not exactly ASCII but close enough.

I have used Colemak for the last 12 years and have never looked back. I started learning Dvorak, but at the time I was using the ctrl+Z/C/V quite much and Colemak became my compromise. Now that I use Vim, the argument about the Z/C/V is not as important anymore. EDIT: Oh, I also used the Q/W (quit, close window) quite much back then because I was using a mac. Still use these in Sway to this day.

I also really like that there is a Norwegian Colemak-layout available in Linux by default. Not sure if this is the case in Windows or macOS these days, but it wasn't 12 years ago.

There is another option that is not being angry nor doing the dance. Learning the dance takes time, a lot of time. And there is no guarantee of success. It is a risky time investiment.

I went with the third path of ignoring all that and applying to jobs that don’t require the dance and pay half of that. I am pretty rich with that money (specifically since I don’t even live in the US).

If anything, this would be an improvement. It is bad, yes. But far better than the status quo.

Under normal conditions, you can deal with an infection with an antibiotic. But when left untreated long enough, you have to amputate. That is what is needed here. A complete amputation of those clowns from reality.

This is getting a lot of downvotes, but I agree with it to a certain degree. Have a look through the Agile Bits support forums and you'll find all the dark patterns you want - the most famous being their hiding of buy outright options to push you to subscription, and the crippling of Dropbox sync to try to push you to their proprietary sync service. I've used 1Password for well over a decade, but a lot of their tactics in the last couple of years left a real sour taste and promoted me to try out every alternative available. Luckily for Agile Bits, the alternatives are all appalling.
Sure, but this is the downside of technocracy. The messaging and subsequent whiplash are entirely kafka-esque to normal people.
it doesn't even matter. this whole discussion is people blaming the material decline of the west on their cultural hobby horse. basically, things you don't like on twitter is the cause, according to the comments here. i think we're totally blinkard by culture.
I think you are thinking about this the wrong way around. You don't need to "cram" for something if you understand it well. It's a matter of techniques, not answers.

I did one of these interviews on short enough notice no review was possible. The process was a little jarring but on these type questions I could just talk through the problem space and come up with something reasonable and explain it; although I doubt I answered anything precisely as expected in the half dozen interviews I had. Apparently it went well.

To be fair, I wasn't a fresh college grad, and I had been recently working as a full time researcher. But they sent me through the SE interview process and none of the specific questions were close to anything I had thought about in years.
> It is so common in SPA that the long-press of the back button to see the list of recent sites should be muscle-memory by now for everyone.

This is not a good excuse for laziness.

> But not ever using a site because of it seems silly when it's literally a half-second longer click.

I highly disagree. With this site at least it is actually possible to leave. Many websites I've come across with this issue, it is entirely impossible to leave without physically holding down the back button in the browser to get a list of history items, and then clicking a site from earlier.

> (Also, for this site I don't actually see the bug. So either they fixed it very rapidly, or GP was just referring to individual searchers being in the history, which is common for any search engine.)

Looks like they've fixed it.

Not that the conditions for the a truck driver are any different in terms of privacy (though they might see more of a benefit for themselves to deter carjackings or kidnappings) but I think that the case for fleet management, logistics and anti-theft/smuggling is a bit stronger than for knowing whether a person is physically present on premises when cleaning a building.
An internet that is open to our geopolitical adversaries is a U.S. weakness, not a strength. It's like inviting our adversaries to war with us in our own territory.
No, it isn't. Ruthenians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, and Russians are all descendants of the Rus. Belarus does not mean "White Russia", it means "White Rus."

> Originally, the name Rus' (Cyrillic: Русь) referred to the people,[1] regions, and medieval states (9th to 12th centuries) of the Kievan Rus'. In Western culture, it was better known as Ruthenia from the 11th century onwards,[2] Its territories are today distributed among Belarus, Northern Ukraine, Eastern Poland, and the European section of Russia. The term Россия (Rossija), comes from the Byzantine Greek designation of the Rus', Ρωσσία Rossía—spelled Ρωσία (Rosía pronounced [roˈsia]) in Modern Greek.

Using exonyms to determine the "real" name of a place is also a very odd choice.
That’s something Whole Foods uses for the subcontracted cleaning crews, not the directly-hired employees. They laid off all their maintenance crews a year before Amazon bought them.

I mean the US is going to shit, but it's important to ask: "Compared to what?" Our demographical outlook is actually much better than any other developed nation.

China's economy is based on the export of manufacturing goods. We are their main customer. More importantly, we are set up to be their only main customer for the next generation at least due to birth rates.

Every other developed nation has had a declining birth-rate while ours grew and then remained stable after the end of WWII. That means that Europe, Russia, and China are all set to become Japan as their populations age out of the workforce. This is the true cost of the 1-child policy and it will reverse their entire economy.

China will have to begin importing masses of foreign labor to make up for the shortfall. But the people buying all those goods will either be Americans or their allies in India. Keep in mind that Americans are split 50/50 on whether mass immigration is a good idea or not. China is unified against the idea. They also have far more unmarried young men due to that same policy. If you think we have a racial-supremacist problem in America I invite you to be patient.

There is simply no other country rich and populated enough to fund the Chinese manufacturing economy other than the American consumer economy.

I agree with the general sentiment that America is in decline, but every other developed nation is set to decline faster than we are. This gives us a relative advantage even if in absolute terms the world is going to shit.

China may still come out on top. Their leadership has vision and the political ability to plan more than 2 years in advance (really nice to have in a government), but it will be at least another 20 before they achieve undisputed supremacy.
>Each app submitted to the App Store undergoes a thorough review process.

Thats just not true though -- it does go through a review but the quality of that review is not remotely consistent.

I've litterally had reviewers 'reject' an app because they couldn't log in and said I didn't provide the right details.

Basically they copied the email or password incorrectly. Note they didn't copy and paste -- just wrote it wrong and then rejected the app with out double checking.
While this is a scary, yet also somewhat possible scenario out there, the GPL license text itself goes to great extents to explain (in classic RMS speech style) the ideals of Free Software and the whole point of the license. It also says, that the FSF may publish modified versions of the license in the future which are "similar in spirit" to this one and alludes to the fact that the author of the software may have given you the "any later choice".

To the slight dismay of some in my immediate family, I chose to study CS instead of law, so IANAL, but in the scenario you describe, I would try to argue into the direction that the hypothetical GPLv4 without copyleft clause is very much not "similar in spirit" to the intent outlined in the older versions in great detail, and hence should not apply.
In that specific context, they are usually called redshirts.

People's brains don't work that way. It requires a lot of education on probability, and even then the math often conflicts with our instincts.
While this looks interesting, I'll admit I feel like there's been a bit of drift from their bread and butter over the years since they launched their cloud thing and started pushing hard towards a subscription model. I chose them long ago specifically over options like LastPass because I liked having a rich application without internet dependency and their attention to detail and features there, but it's been a while since it feels like it got major new improvements vs the site. For example, while macOS and Windows have supported smart cards and security tokens like YubiKeys forever now, and I use them to login, unlock, authorize sudo/SSH, etc every day, 1Password still has no support. There are things that can now only be done through the web interface, like finer grained control over permissions for shared vaults, and some of those are also nastily locked away behind more expensive subscriptions. I think everything should be manageable through the application, without ever visiting the site. Duplicate items across vaults remain completely manually managed, when automating stuff like that is kind of the purpose of a password manager. Etc. Heck, even within their own subscription service I think they're missing a trick by not having more powerful/flexible organization(including families) and inter-organizational capabilities.

I still think 1Password is the best option for most people. I specifically want my non-technical family and friends to use password managers too as long as its necessary, and having some multiperson capability is also key to that. I can't say though that I feel like the move to subs has been a huge win in terms of development.

Granted, I'm a little down on the whole field which colors things a bit. Ultimately underlying my feelings is a touch of bitterness that their entire industry even exists. Passwords and password managers are mostly recreating public key auth really, really badly and it stinks. Passwords and other symmetric tokens by definition should never be shared. A website being hacked should never affect me in the slightest, in the same way that me getting hacked doesn't somehow suddenly mean attackers now own Debian/Apple/FreeBSD/Microsoft. Everywhere should just have public keys. We've had the tech for decades and sufficient crypto speed on client systems since at least AES-NI. What's been missing has been glue and effort. It's frustrating every time a hack happens. We shouldn't have to care! Sigh.

> This is wartime.

Wrong. In a war you win by outsmarting other people. Maybe that's through democracy, maybe it's by moving faster, maybe it's by having better technology, maybe it's by having more technology.

This is a pandemic. A health crisis caused by a virus. In this situation you win by carefully understanding the nature of the virus and then determining what needs to happen in order to shut it down. Making rash decisions because it's "wartime" doesn't actually stop the virus. We can't blitz a virus. We have to take time to understand the consequences of our actions.

> coddle

Actually, we do have to coddle. If we squash people's concerns about the vaccine, then they just won't get it because they don't feel listened to. On the other hand, if we show people that we're taking their concerns seriously, they're more likely to go and take one of the other vaccines. Because the "unsafe" ones were pulled after all, so the ones left over have to be safe (not true, but it's going to work for a non-trivial number of people).
