> it provides a versatile API to manage backpressure

I think whoever wrote this library has a very different idea of what backpressure is to me:

> For these reasons, SocketCluster exposes a simple API for tracking stream backpressure and it lets you immediately kill streams or groups of streams which are becoming overly congested. SocketCluster lets you measure the backpressure of individual streams within a socket and also the aggregate backpressure of all streams within the socket.

https://socketcluster.io/docs/streams-and-backpressure/

To me, "backpressure" means that if some stage is slow, then it should communicate to upstream stages to slow down, so that queues do not grow. It is an application-level concern in the upstream stages how that slowing-down can be achieved; it might involve coalescing updates, dropping updates that are made irrelevant, reducing sample frequency, etc.

"This got slow so we killed it lol" does not sound useful.

I don’t know too much about Javanese, but I’m pretty sure that generator is rubbish. e.g. for input ‘ja’, it gives ‘ꦗꦄ’, when it should be just ‘ꦗ’. It appears to be doing a simple letter-for-letter substitution, which is incorrect: for instance, it ends up replacing every vowel in the Latin transcription with a separate vowel letter, while vowels after a consonant should be represented using a diacritic in Javanese (and other Indic scripts).
While it's easy to be skeptical, it could be useful to ask whether animals of different species find ways to communitcate with each other, and if so, could the same kind of ability be distributed unevenly among humans?

As people, how much of what we interpret as physical body language from each other gets translated into language in our inner monologue for a kind of narrative reasoning, which we then act on? To say that's projecting intent on others because we can't truly know someones intentions without language is ridiculous if you've ever managed to get by somewhere without knowing a language. Extending that way of relating to animals to me is absolutely viable. Especially sophisticated intelligent animals like crows.

It's a skill you can practice and develop to where strange animals will accept your presence and respond to cues. It takes practice to walk into a herd of horses in a field without them stampeding, to get panicking dogs to relax, or even to shoo off a bear. It's like shifting them out of their instinctual reactions and activating or stimulating their capacity to reason. It's also a huge element of human charisma, where if you have ever met someone who can command a room with very minor gestures, or quiet a kid in a tantrum, it's the same ability.

I think there is something universal that people can develop (or have terrible deficits in), and this crow whispering person seems to have really mastered it. What a pleasure to read.
What prevents downgrading? Is simply a software issue or is there some hardware mechanism in place?

Reminds me a bit of this really cool project I saw the other day: https://there.oughta.be/a/macro-keyboard

Difference is one is generic for typing anything, and the link there is purpose-built on a per-application basis, but the idea of having a small amount of keys for a precise job is very interesting.

You still have the option of embedding Firebird if you want enforced types AND embedded operation.

None of those nations are military threats to the United States in the sense that they can realistically threaten an invasion or takeover of the United States. Those nations are threats to various interests of ours and some pose economic threats to our position and interests. As the world enters into a new multi-polar reality we need to reassess our views of what a ‘threat’ is. The Pax Americana is coming to an end. Soon we as a nation will recognize that we longer have the resources to impose our will wherever we desire.

The F-35 is definitely a multi role fighter. It just also has sophisticated enough electronics it can act as a sort of "mini AWACS" when useful. And it's a lot more likely to survive in a peer fight, while AWACS will be pushed back beyond standoff range.

My limited understanding of the history is that until recently (I think probably the 80s), supreme court judges were confirmed at a near unanimity. But then the supreme court decided to use the constitution as a tool to make changes that should be the realm of congress. And logically, appointment to the court became highly politicized.
Not everyone was wrong. Hal Finney called it early as pointed out in "The Bitcoin Standard".

> While this view of Bitcoin might sound like it is a betrayal of Bitcoin's original vision of fully peer‐to‐peer cash, it is not a new vision. Hal Finney, the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction from Nakamoto, wrote this on the Bitcoin forum in 2010: Actually there is a very good reason for Bitcoin‐backed banks to exist, issuing their own digital cash currency, redeemable for bitcoins. Bitcoin itself cannot scale to have every single financial transaction in the world be broadcast to everyone and included in the block chain. There needs to be a secondary level of payment systems which is lighter weight and more efficient. Likewise, the time needed for Bitcoin transactions to finalize will be impractical for medium to large value purchases. Bitcoin backed banks will solve these problems. They can work like banks did before nationalization of currency. Different banks can have different policies, some more aggressive, some more conservative. Some would be fractional reserve while others may be 100% Bitcoin backed. Interest rates may vary. Cash from some banks may trade at a discount to that from others. George Selgin has worked out the theory of competitive free banking in detail, and he argues that such a system would be stable, inflation resistant and self‐regulating.
> We need to change the message from "don't take drugs" to "if you choose to take drugs, take them responsibly".

The phrase for this is “harm reduction” and it has been around for a few decades in the pro-drug communities.

The challenge is that harm reduction material is largely targeted at avoiding overdoses or fatal combinations as you mentioned, which can give users a false sense of confidence about their ability to avoid addiction.

I’ve watched a couple close acquaintances slowly decline over time due to what they thought was responsible drug use. You can do all the right things and still end up addicted to and dependent upon addictive drugs. Fortunately they were both able to afford rehabilitation programs that got them back on track.

I visited one of them in the rehab program. The price tag was high so selection bias was obviously at play, but it was interesting to see that every person there was also an adult professional who thought they were smart enough and self-educated enough about drugs to avoid succumbing to addiction, which was clearly not the case.

I don’t have any answers or solutions to the topic, but I do know that addiction is a risk that most addicts seem to downplay at the start of their experiences. Few people go into drug habits expecting to become dependent.

Perhaps more interesting is the uptick in people addicted to psychedelics, partially driven by the growing perception that they’re not addictive. It seems that these patients aren’t addicted in the traditional sense of becoming dependent, but they get hooked on the escapism aspect or the idea that they’re just one or two trips away from a major epiphany. Not all of the rewiring that takes place in these experiences is necessarily in a healthy direction. It can happen, so people should at least be aware of it.

Backpressure is great, but there are so many common components which just don't support it, and, as the article mentions, every link in the chain has to support backpressure for it to work at all.

Reactive streams and the RSocket protocol are an attempt to build a consistent framework for backpressure, but they don't seem to have spread very far from the niche where they started:

https://www.reactive-streams.org/

https://rsocket.io/

APIs for reactive streams even made it into the JDK, but i have never seen anyone use them!
Absolutely. But it doesn't look like they are any good at it, considering how the Apple Watch totally didn't eat the market of incumbents like Garmin at all (Garmin is almost drowning in money now that the Apple Watch has made it socially acceptable to spend high sums on wrist gadgets). The Apple watch excels in engineering, but the software environment is so focused on mainstream appeal that almost everybody has some niche interest that isn't served there at all. And those niches are tight: one might think for example that Garmin and Peloton are direct competitors in the field of home indoor workout bikes (Garmin via the Tacx Neo Bike) but in reality those serve very different markets with almost zero overlap. Apple misses all those niches because they are not only committed to ignoring niche features but also exert too much control on the walls of their garden that third parties won't rely on them as a platform.
No.

It’s “just” a client issue, and OpenEthereum is “only” used by ~11% of the nodes. I believe the former name is Parity, which had a major bug related to frozen coins some years ago.

What prevents this same line of reasoning from being used to justify that SQL does not need a DATETIME primitive type?

Just as you showed how a sum type could be represented with component relations, a similar example could be constructed showing how any needed attribute of a datetime could be normalized to various tables combining the features of dates and times.
I would say “trigger” a psychotic break rather than cause. Other possible triggers include going away to college, and the break-up of a relationship.
Except you have to make them manually. They could've trivially built a thing that takes your npm package.json and converts it to an import map internally, but instead you gotta manage all that hassle yourself because they don't want to play nice with npm. /rant

In 2015, a similar but less draconian "Mietpreisbremse" was enacted at the federal level. 2016 was the year the construction trend turned from yearly increases to declines, and it has been declining consistently ever since.

In 2019, in anticipation of the Mietendeckel, the decline became significantly steeper.

Several large companies announced that they were halting all new construction and renovation projects.

At the same time, inventory has practically disappeared. So instead of "unaffordable" housing[1] for new tenants, we now have no housing for new tenants. (Existing rents were already protected).

I use one every day for work. I installed ubuntu on it and have had to fiddle with xrandr to get the screen resolution to be reasonable (but I also use xmonad and installed this on a machine that was originally purchased with windows OS). So you will probably have a relatively flawless experience if ubuntu is pre-installed.

It is a nice machine overall.
Terrible shame. I read news off it (with nojs). Seems I'll be on the hunt for a replacement when this comes.
I don't understand why on earth anyone would use Facebook as a platform for sharing this kind of content, they know It'll be removed and that Facebook is quite good at tracking you, so unless you're using a VM connected to a VPN with a browser soley for this content you'll have the police called on you?

It just doesn't make sense to me. Also, why is it that facebooks content moderators have to look at everything while Google just removed content and says nothing more about it? Does Google have more confidence in their AI while Facebook doesn't and therefore need people to manually check it? Or is it that there might be more content on Facebook uploaded that an AI would misinterpret as child abuse (baby photos and the likes that people seem so desperate to share on Facebook these days).
They should look at the way the wind is blowing and enable this by default for all domains.

There's so much FUD dusted up literally every conversation about this program that it's unlikely any minds will be changed before the next peer conflict.

Expensive education, certainly. If you love the thing, stop reading, and we'll come back and have this discussion after the SCS conflict.

That said, those of us on Team Bash aren't doing this out of malice or . . whatever motivation I would have for "trash talking" a military program that indirectly pays my checks. Hell, I should be strapping on my little flouncy skirt right now and getting out the pom poms.

It's a fine development platform, and we're learning lots of stuff from the 35. It'll make a great bomb truck over whatever 'stan we need to blow up at the time.

Anyways, the thing can't fight.

(TL;DR: the plane is in a catch-22 of not having enough range when it carries enough weapons and not having enough weapons when it has enough range. Along with a bunch of other stuff, but that's the big one, and supercruise is a direct part of that)

* 1000 NM radius is not enough for SE Asia, at all, certainly not for a Hainan mission. Flying dirty (unstealthed), it flies low for terrain masking, and now it's lucky to get 500 NM.

* persnickety: pre-chilled fuel; exotic conditioned electricals; 30,000 dollar CPFH + regionally specific MDF for the active LO systems

* Can't stealth mount BRU-61, AARGM-ER/AGM-88G, AIM-260 JATM, JAGM-F, SPEAR 3, JSM, APKWS, AGM-183 ARRW, AGM-158C/D LRASM/JASSM-XR, SACM/CUDA/PEREGRINE, Hammer/Hatchet. Remember, if it has to fly dirty, it has to fly low, and now you're dealing with a 500nm range. The weapons fitment issue is probably the biggest source of FUD on this program, with lots of "it carries X Weapon" when really all they checked is that X fits inside of a NxNxN space.

* Can't supersonic launch missiles no supercruise. Subtract 30% from your missile range - a lot of rocket power to make a shock cone on the missile nose.

* 8 seconds (A), 16 seconds (B) and 43 seconds (C) over KPP requirement for missile sprint, during the run up to IOT&E and OPEVAL.

* 4 AMRAAMS internal, and let's be honest here, you need 3 to guarantee a kill in ECM environment. Take more than 4 and now you're flying "dirty", so you fly low, halving the combat radius if you're lucky. And don't forget, it doesn't have the speed to run once it empties its magazine, and from behind IRST will see its burner from 100k or more.

* APG-81, MADL, stealth coatings were pirated in the late aughts, compromised

No but my naivety thought there would be more automation in place to reduce walking, sorting and picking up heavy things.

Granted I have not worked in a fulfilment center and my impressions are solely based on amazon's own material but they put out jobs for operatives that just stand there all day sorting small packets, moving from this to sorting incoming large pallets sounds like it would do more damage!

This 100%. Every time it comes up I'm just saddened by the fact that they're so antagonistic towards the existing npm ecosystem, when those problems could be so easily solved and their userbase so easily expanded with some minor compatibility tooling that allows importing npm packages.
The notion that the Supreme Court wasn’t political until the 1980s is an interpretation I’d rather strongly disagree with. Whether the Supreme Court was making rulings that were more properly the domain of Congress, well, that’s a matter of opinion at any point. The Dredd Scott decision, for instance, was decided on a political basis and was arguably an overstep for the Court.

I used to read Reuters religiously, but have drifted away from them as I've felt their neutrality falter a bit.

They're still one of the better organization, and I'm sad to see them go behind a pay wall as it leaves fewer outrage driven outlets available. At the same time, I understand it is difficult to fund journalism in the current atmosphere.
Making the assumption you work in software and not in sales. Do you need that many meetings? It feels if your calendar seems uncontrollable, you probably need to start say no to meetings.
