Do I have Google's engineers to develop it and full control over the implementation of the JS engine?

Am I allowed to compile the JavaScript to assembly?

Because if yes to all of these, then in the abstract, as a thought experiment, I can create an implementation in the JavaScript language with machine code that is byte-for-byte compatible with Chrome written in C++. Step one is write a C++ compiler in JavaScript... ;)

... but more importantly, I don't know how the question is relevant to the question of whether a JavaScript implementation of render commands into a canvas might be faster than a JavaScript implementation of layout declarations that have to play a bunch of games to get desired results from a C++ renderer. The gains from C++ render performance start to get lost if the renderer is making a bunch of wrong guesses about what should be rendered and when.
From your description it feels less like an issue with the code not being clever enough and more like an issue with the code not being organized and architected efficiently.

I think the "don't be clever" edict applies to code segments that are best described as "you won't believe what happens next!", and fairly so.
I consider neither Zoho nor Google Docs to be vendor lock-in since you can always download the documents as docx and continue working on them locally.

I'm gonna give Zoho Writer a spin since Google Docs is missing some vital features for me, most notably the option to have custom page designs (font/colors/footers) that you can centrally update and apply to a bunch of documents. If anyone has another Google Docs alternative, I'm all ears.
This order didn't come from the German federal government. It came from the data protection official of one state (Hamburg). It don't think he has too much influence of the German government.
Absolutely! I'm afraid they're actually pretty boring though.

The most common informational hazards are varying forms of behavioral modifiers, e.g. advertising, religions/cults, state-sponsored propaganda. Edward Bernays' is one of the more interesting people to study here, both through his written works (namely Crystalizing Public Opinion and Propaganda, both from the 1920's) and his later actions (popularizing female smoking, helping fruit companies and the CIA overthrow South American governments, etc). Roko's Basilisk falls into this category, if you want to think about it really hard it can hurt you but(somewhat ironically) the only people really susceptible are pseudo-intellectuals who congregate on places like lesswrong.

Next up are simple forms of adversarial inputs such as discordant sounds or rapidly blinking lights. People's susceptibility to these varies, generally only those with neurological disorders (epilepsy, severe misophonia) are severely impacted by known tech. Applied examples include LRADs, dazzlers[0], and/or some bowling alleys.

Last up there is at least one true informational hazard where perception alone is enough to disrupt the underlying structure of your brain (or at least your visual cortex). It's called the McCollough effect, and I'm not going to link to it but if you're curious a quick glance is generally safe. On the surface it's a simple color shifting optical illusion, but unlike most of those, if you stare at it for more than a handful of seconds, the aftereffect lasts for months.

[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzler_(weapon), the boring ones are based on just blinding while the interesting ones attempt to disorient your brain with high frequency color patterns
Another possibility is code that acts differently depending on user-agent.
Wow, this is incredibly impressive!

As a web dev, I feel a moment of satisfaction when I manage to make a heading look right on both desktop and mobile. Lol, what you've done is several orders of magnitude more difficult... I could spend a lifetime coding and not even know how to start drawing the first pixel. Kudos!!
It is the same playbook as they did with Google. The $10B/ year placement fees for being default search engine on Apple devices, all while squeezing out most of the Data going to Google in the name of privacy.

A fairly large potion of Facebook Ads are actually Ads for Apps or specifically Games. Previously the Ad network ( in this case Facebook ) would know what sort of Games you have installed, and show you some relevant ( or similar ) games that you may like. There is no point showing you FPS games if you dont play FPS games at all. With ATT no ad network, including but not limited to Facebook will not have any "newer" data. And they cant target those ads for you. This is what the whole "tracking" argument is all about. ( At least from Apple perspective )

But since Apple has all those Data, they can now sell those Ads themselves. Of course the argument is the definition of Tracking. And may be the vast majority understanding of what tracking really mean, portrayed by Apple differs greatly to the actual technical definition. Benedict Evans [1] has quite a few words on it.

On the PR and media side it is the same playbook as they did with Qualcomm. Facebook and Qualcomm are evil, Apple are righteous. But when the trial did happen every single accusation Apple made against Qualcomm turns out to false before they were quickly settled.

The amount of hypocrisy from Modern Day Apple is even worst than Google in early 2000s.

They have played us for absolute fools.
Improved error messages is great. But one area specifically that is in desperate need of some love is the type errors from Dialyzer. They are rarely helpful to identify what is actually wrong in the code. Typically the error message will point to something several layers up or down in the call stack and prints out a huge blob of unreadable and unhelpful type signatures. Most of the time the best you can do is to simply compile and run the system to figure out what is wrong with the types. The obscurity of the type errors remind me of C++ template errors.

The Man From Earth is wonderful. The best ultra-low budget movie IMO.
Inflation helps debtors (because the real value of the nominal debt is reduced by inflation - debtors borrowed "high value" money and later, after inflation, can pay it off with "low value" money) and hurts creditors (same reason, just the effect is reversed).

Rich people are (mostly) creditors. Poor people are (mostly) debtors. Inflation tends to hurt rich people (creditors) and help poor people (debtors). The people who run the economy are almost universally rich, and are (coincidentally, I'm sure /s) almost universally opposed to any increase in inflation.

Side note: assets (real estate, gold, ...) are mostly inflation-neutral since their prices go up at the same rate as the prices of everything else.

Where poor people do get hurt is when consumer prices go up and wages don't but that's not inflation - inflation is when the price of everything goes up, including labor i.e. wages.
The alternative is waiting literally 10-20 years for anyone else to catch up.
> more than 20% of all US dollars that ever existed were created in the last 2 years and there are “no worries”? I’d like to learn more why.

Because they were created to fight deflation (only barely successfully, as a year ago unadjusted inflation was about 0 and within seasonal adjustment it was negative) and if there are signs of sustained rather than transitory inflation, the Fed will suck them right back up.

It’s like people think monetary policy either only happens in the past or only happens in one direction.
And they speak about plugins being broken in TFA. I'm not surprised that your daughter's plugin doesn't work today, because they announced the change today. Presumably, those plugins can be rewritten to adapt to canvas. Just give them time.

How much excess gasoline storage capacity do you think people have? I would bet that the vast majority of people nothing more than their car's tank, and a small minority additionally have a handheld one or two gallon red canister. "Hoarding" is not enough to explain this.

You'd likely get by with dropping the match into gasoline most of the time too. Its not definite that there will be vapor from it in the right mix for it to catch fire before hitting the surface.

Gasoline also isn't quite as combustible as people imagine.

I think that might be one of the biggest sources of inertia preventing model releases. The model inferences generated in the paper often depend on private libraries that the company hasn't released.

All I can say is, please release it anyway as a documentation-free binary blob of weights. People like me will figure out how to make it work, and to make it accessible. Gamedev has been showing for decades that the community will do an amazing amount of work just for the fun of it, and I assure you that we'd all be delighted to figure out some clever way to inference from a model trained on a massive cluster of GPUs.

It's a much cheaper device than Airpods, harder to manage battery life, and there's not yet evidence that they can update them automatically. As far as I can tell, competitor products (Tile, for example) don't update firmware automatically...it's a user-initiated thing.
I don't get the "built in Typescript" argument. Everything is running on V8 at the end of the day. With Node you run a one-line compilation step, Deno does the same thing just under the covers.
I'm not sure of the actual point of this whole thread, but regular people make bad investments and get bailed out all the time: it's called bankruptcy.
In this case you have:

* The Fed who wants 2% inflation rate

* 12 months of inflation that were very low, dipping to 0.1%. [1]

* Re-opening of much of the economy

* Massive consumer spending

* Lots of issues with manufacturing & shipping over the past few months

* Drought effecting crop prices [2]

I don't think that counts as a coin flip.

This is an unserious comment and the worst kind of gatekeeping, as it only applies to the shallowest definition of "learn" - perhaps "remember" and "understand" on Bloom's taxonomy.

Most biochemists, like most professionals in any field, are dilettantes in 99% of the field - it's the difference between reading a French cookbook and being Paul Valéry. They specialize and the rest of what they have learned rusts and sprouts weeds and is useless when viewed under the lens of applied knowledge.

And as the OP noted, your "all this" to learn includes (no offense to biochemists) probably the most multidisciplinary set of skills in any field: communication, business analysis, psychology, statistics, computer programming, hardware and network topology, data engineering, domain knowledge, often a deep background in one of the hard sciences ..

Of course it's not beyond any individual - Renaissance Men and Women do exist, but to suggest it's "not that difficult" is an uhelpful myth.
AFAIK, you cannot be banned from a country if you have its nationality and you cannot lose a nationality if it’s the only one you have. So I would say no.

> This is why growth stocks like tech have taken more of a beating than value stocks like food, oil, or defense. The former rely heavily on the expectation of future cash flows, often far off in the future, and if there's an incidence of extremely high interest rates between now and then, the value of those cash flows is significantly reduced even if their absolute amount increases because of inflation.

I thought that the value of many tech stocks was heavily based on growth. E.g. it's not worth waiting 10 or 20 years for a tech stock to start paying 3% dividends if the price stays the same; start earning 3% or more right now instead. In that sense, selling stock due to the risk of inflation is betting both that the company won't grow as fast inflation-adjusted as it did in the past (essentially the company can't perform as well under inflation) and that inflation will still be high when the stock starts paying dividends.

I am definitely not a financial analyst, just confused.
That's only for iOS and Android apps. (Desktop?) screen readers do not work at all on gallery.flutter.dev, because they can't detect text in a canvas.
I find working with nil in Elixir to be quite reasonable. One way in which elixir is different is that you have different operators for when it must be boolean, and nil is not tolerated for those operators (and vs &&). This coupled with the convention of using ? at the end of functions which emit boolean makes things easier.

The one thing I wish is that people stopped writing boolean functions with is_ in front (that is supposed to be only for guards, but not everyone follows that convention).
The argument is that the application would be much more performant, and would handle that issue better, not necessarily avoid it.
Good programming is not about writing perfect chunks of code or following best practices.

Its about making good design decisions. Period.

And we've "been around the block" (i.e. cycles of life, relationships, career, health, ...) a few times. We've become a bit more familiar with the patterns, and familiarity reduces fear and anxiety.

Trucks maybe aren't, but city buses certainly are, all over the country. That's likely because of the infrastructure. You don't need to dot the entire country with LNG stops for your city buses, just a few fuel-up points here and there around town.
People who get irritated over units of measure are themselves irritating. It is not so hard to round, double it 4 times and then divide by 10.
After leaving some pretty negative comments on many 'code submissions' my expectations were fairly low and I was expecting another novice-level project of subpar engineering.

Well. Looks like I'll have to adjust my expectations. This is above and far beyond what I would dare criticize or probably could produce myself.

Teaches me to not bunch "Show HN: my npm package you should totally use in production" with "Show HN: my C passion project of 3 years".
Insects can be delicious if cooked correctly (often just toasting them will do the trick).

And as others have stated they are protein rich and pretty efficient to raise. I wouldn't be surprised if within the next 5 to 10 years some insect eating fad breaks out with some popular tic tok'r and suddenly our perception on them starts to flip. Social media might actually redeem itself.
The format understands spaces just fine. The problem is that programs that produce PDFs are often designed just to make the PDF look correct, without any care for semantics.

I think there's just a bunch of history here--print is the use case that you really want PDF to get correct, and so you take existing print pipelines which discard semantics and add PDF as a new backend. This is the easy/lazy way to get PDF working, and there are also tons of PDF pipelines are just stapled onto the end of a print pipeline as if PDF were another type of printer.

You'll see a night and day difference between one of those pipelines and something more suited to processing a document with semantics, like FrameMaker. FrameMaker seems to be a bit more niche now that print documentation is less mainstream.

I can understand why the PDF ecosystem is a bit frustrating, but I still prefer it when I'm reading academic papers explaining some algorithm or mathematical concept.
To put that amount into perspective That's like 1/2 to 1/3 of the GDP of quite a few sub-Saharan countries! Yikes!
I hear what you're saying and I don't really disagree. But, at the risk of sounding like I'm not an environmentalist and I don't care about poor people, a new 1990s car today is still going to be better than a lot of what I see lower SES people driving today- if they're able to afford to drive anything.

You said it yourself: cars from the 1990s might last 100k miles! You think a poor person today is going to buy any used car that has 100k miles of life left? I highly doubt it.

As for the safety and emissions standards- you're right. That's a big part of what has driven up the price of cars. And while I know that they are less safe, were they really that unsafe? I mean, the 90s had airbags, seat belts, ABS brakes (at least some models). At the end of the day, I'm not saying I would be happy that a poor person could only afford the safety of a 1990s car. But what I am saying is that it's still better than what they have access to today. Ideally, we just wouldn't have people so poor that they can't afford safe transportation.

For emissions, specifically, I don't want poor people to have to pay the cost of saving our environment. I know a bunch of people who are financially comfortable enough to have multiple cars and/or recreational boats- let them pay for it. I'd be fine adjusting my wish to "1990s standards car + modern emissions standards, as long as the government subsidizes it such that it still would cost 1990s prices".
I think that MCS will help greatly to accelerate things. Fear of building infrastructure for a new tech has to be a huge part of it.

A lot of folks have toes in the water with Tesla semi orders, though. I expect that to grow pretty quickly if the first ones work well for regional distribution, and that is really their strength.

That new fangled "diesel" stuff is really hard to beat for long distance trucking.
This article is six months old. What's happened since, and does it put to rest or does it emphasize the concerns?

The canvas element is essentially a bitmap that you can draw on using JavaScript. As far as I know, it doesn't introduce any features that increase the developer's ability to control the user over simply generating bitmaps on the server. (There are some fingerprinting techniques that use canvas and have bad privacy implications, but I believe that's a separate topic.) The only difference is that the bitmaps can be changed dynamically by client-side code. Everything you mention: disabling right-click menus, preventing text copying, making the site not work without JavaScript etc. can be done with canvas or without canvas. Moreover, the canvas tag has been well-supported for over 10 years.

G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Conditions Observed
I just saw a new looking Supra on the road today. I didn't even know they started making them again after then stopped in 2000-ish.
Context:
G 3 [Strong ] Kp = 7

Frequency: 200 events per cycle / 130 days per cycle

Power systems: Voltage corrections may be required, false alarms triggered on some protection devices.

Spacecraft operations: Surface charging may occur on satellite components, drag may increase on low-Earth-orbit satellites, and corrections may be needed for orientation problems.

Other systems: Intermittent satellite navigation and low-frequency radio navigation problems may occur, HF radio may be intermittent, and aurora has been seen as low as Illinois and Oregon (typically 50° geomagnetic lat.).

Have you tried filtering your choice of books through something like Goodreads? In my experience choosing books with a minimal rating of at least 4.0, preferably >4.2 really leaves you with the cream of the crop. I just got deep into systems and software architecture and I've been very impressed with the first three books I've read. (Haven't tried it on actual programming books, but I'm pretty sure the outcome would be the same).

Google Docs seems so bare-bones. I recently couldn't find a way to format a series of chunks of text within a Google Doc as code, and I'm pretty sure that it simply doesn't support styles for anything but headings and body text. It just doesn't seem to be the same kind of tool as Word.
Neither is text rendered in a canvas tag (without doing some extra work specifically to improve accessibility).
