=== start quote ===

To share memory using SharedArrayBuffer objects from one agent in the cluster to another (an agent is either the web page’s main program or one of its web workers), postMessage and structured cloning is used.

=== end quote ===

And, of course, they are almost exclusively used with Web Workers because it makes zero sense to use them in the context of a single page. They are basically memory-mapped files, but for the browser, and their presence doesn't make Javascript and its runtime multithreaded.

There's also a good overview on the history of concurrency and parallelism in JS here: https://exploringjs.com/es2016-es2017/ch_shared-array-buffer...

IIRC Javascript can't even be made multithreaded because there are places in the spec that can't work in a multithreaded environment, but don't quote me on that.

Does anyone know what wins in the longevity field is Vitalik referring to?
« The other question is: what about jobs? If this type of tech picks up, what will happen to truckers' jobs? Another question so far left unanswered. »

I am pretty sure that question has been answered, but the system doesn't want to hear it.
Right. If you have to trust the device anyway, a blockchain only adds unnecessary complexity and signing the data will do.
You’re right, my memory was slightly off, it was a settlement. Awkward because NetApp sold a lot to Oracle.
The less touchscreen, computerized fussy equipment in my off-roaders, the better. The fact that Toyota leans into that by waiting until 2020 to provide lane keeping assist on their 4Runners is a benefit. Body on frame, tried and true parts are all worth the trade-offs in ride comfort and MPGs.

If I wanted those things, I would go buy a Highlander or other SUV-shaped car lacking the ability to go from pavement to AWD to 4WD to locked diffs if I get really crazy.

I like to call my off-road truck (rig in the vernacular) 'too dumb to hack'. Not that it has any meaningful security, but it is only electronic, there is not enough digital logic for there to be any attack surface worth exploiting, and even if there were some exploit, it cannot do much more than shut down the engine due to faulty timings.
My understanding is that this is what gain of function research is all about. Accelerated evolution within a lab towards infecting a specific species.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Hyundai/Kia. I'll definitely keep that in mind when I decide to buy a car in the future (I unfortunately would have to buy one if I were to move to suburb some day...)
I agree. A confrontation between the US and China, as well as China and its neighbors, is inevitable. There are just too many factors forcing this, Taiwan, the South China Sea, China's economic slowdown, USs' economic slowdown, the race for influence and resources in Africa and South America. Maybe (hopefully) it will just be another cold war.

But being able to present China as the bad guy early on would be more valuable to the US than having China save face. The only exception to this would be if the US were of the opinion that more time was needed before a higher level of confrontation could be entered: in that case, appeasement and face-saving would buy time. However, I don't see how this could be the case, the US is bringing military resources back home within a few months, probably not to decomission them. US military strength and availability is currently at a peak. And China is still in the process of building up military strength, which will take time since their problem is old equipment to be replaced and new equipment to be built. So for the US, an early confrontation would be advantageous.
This comment is part of why I love Gitlab.

> One of the most problematic areas, as you perfectly mentioned, is the left sidebar. We already enable project administrators to remove items from there by going to Settings -> General -> Visibility, project features, permissions, and then toggling off the areas you would like to remove. However, this is a project setting, not per user.

I can't believe I missed that. Is it a somewhat recent feature? I could swear I could not disable everything a few months ago when I tried it (I remember not being able to hide Operations, Analytics, etc.). Maybe I just went too quickly through the visibility options.

Well I apologize, it is indeed feasible to hide the features I don't use. Thanks for the heads up.

> I hope that gives you a better understanding how our UX team at GitLab thinks about this

Thank you for these explanations. Although I think some pages are too bloated, I like the fact that you act on it. And to be honest, I've always found each iteration of the UI better than the previous one, so there's that.
Not only is Javascript not ready for those people yet, Javascript has been moving further and further away from those people for years, both in the language spec and in the community and ecosystem around the language.
GSuite (and probably O365) are probably actually pretty good examples of opinionated vs. the all the options offline MS Office.

Personally, myself and people I work with mostly like GSuite. We're probably generally described as heavy users but not power users, i.e. we don't need the features that only a few percent of people do. I actually find GSuite much more streamlined for my uses and collaborative editing is such a win. I do create fairly long docs sometimes but they're not complicated docs.
Which AWS container service should I use?
On the switch the reads are so slow the fastest loading requires atbleast mild compression. At least it did when I was testing packaging for my latest switch release. Despite the weak cpu.

Ps4 also did the compressed packages by default thing if I remember right. The upside there being ample cpu for decompression such that no compression was never fastest.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Kia. If you don't mind me asking--how long have you had it?
>Would Fauci have even known?

So maybe he finds out before making statements?

I've lost faith in Fauci when he admitted he lied about the efficacy of masks early on in the pandemic. He literally came
out and stated he lied in order to make sure frontline healthcare workers had enough PPE. That was the most insane statement I've ever heard a public health leader make - lying about healthcare to the public that may result in more infections. That is how you destroy public trust.

What's sad is that the population would understand if you just told them the truth, namely that masks help, but our frontline works desperately need them so getting them masks and PPE is a priority.
This is highly misinformed. Corn doesn't 'need' any supplemental fertilizer (and was grown without much for centuries), we choose to do it because it's more profitable. Soybeans, being a legume, make their own nitrogen. So you comment is wildly misleading making people believe people are putting 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre
Not disagreeing with you, only giving a counter-example to parent's simple math argument.
I was only able to ditch IE for a major customer last year thanks to the new Edge rollout on Windows 10 and Microsoft setting a precedent with their own online services (Teams especially). Moving away from old workarounds to newer technologies will be a gradual process over the coming years.

The problem isn't just IE marketshare. Not every web developer works in e-commerce, on brochure sites or even SaaS apps with a target audience consisting almost entirely of other startups. If you build products for mostly enterprise customers, those customers often dictate what you support, even if they barely even use it anymore. Changing requirements can be difficult.

I remember being asked by a large international company to build a web app in "HTML5 but it must work with IE6" back in the day. Most of their actual users were on Firefox or using iPads.
Accidentally & continuously ( see firefox ) disabling the ability of users to choose competitors is indistinguishable from doing the same thing on purpose. It's an abuse of their position where they're doing it on purpose or simply too incompetent to not encounter these problems, or simply don't care about prioritizing these fixes.
It is countering him saying that mutation count must have been done in a lab, but not arguing either way.
Well ZFS also doesn’t use RAID-4 so of course they’re “different.”

Nonetheless many of ZFS’s internal features are or were directly taken from WAFL, at least at an algorithmic level (nobody copied source code that I’m aware of). The snapshot mechanism in particular.

I don't think I made my point very clear. And don't assume I did no research before you offer nonconstructive insults. Let me clarify.

Sure the term, in and of itself isn't racist. It's the way it was used in our media, and the negative connotations that were implied by it. Especially under the Trump administration.

A good definition: "A wet market is an open marketplace with stalls of vegetables and other food items presented for sale. Many wet markets are found in China and the Philippines. The name is based on the fact that these informal market environments usually have wet floors. Shoppers tolerate sloppy floors and items piled on mats or boards as the foods sold at wet markets are known for their fresh quality and low price. The moisture is created by market workers regularly spraying the produce and floors with water."

Now if that's the way it was presented to us in Western media, there would be no problem. But that's not how it was portrayed. They tried to make it sound like some horrific place. Some god awful disgusting place, where people are eating bats and other weird animals. And it's dirty, really dirty. "If only those dirty Chinese people weren't eating disgusting animals in their 'wet' market, we wouldn't have this pandemic!"

How many times did we hear this repeated by people early on last year? And how many people still believe this depiction of the market? Probably a lot, even in this comment thread it was parroted. Meanwhile in the real world, that market isn't any different than most other markets in another country in the world.
> penetrated the pipeline operator on the U.S. East Coast, locking its systems and demanding a ransom. The hack caused a shutdown lasting several days

This rings a little disingenuous, since (IIRC) the shutdown wasn't caused by the hack, the interruption of service was a deliberate choice by Colonial because (in brief) they wouldn't be able to charge their customers until they got their accounting systems working again.

The company, providing arguably an essential service, chose to stop the flow instead of estimating / approximating / using past averages to bill their customers. They likely lost much more revenue this way.

As you will see in my profile, I may not currently have a lot of professional experience in this field, however, we've all got to start somewhere.

Essentially since the start of the Covid pandemic I have started my self-teaching path in the field of Computer Science and over the past year I have learned both theoretical foundations and some of the most important and popular languages, such as C, Python or JavaScript.

Additionally, you will find above a link to my GitHub profile where you can find some of my personal and study projects.
> Im dont even get the debate.

There's trillions of dollars of potential damages at stake. Even if this was a Chernobyl type disaster due to mismanagement and negligence, the CCP will be on the hook, and they are all too aware of it. IMHO this debate is healthy & necessary.
As a FF user, I just presume they have done things right and they are being sabotaged, or at best not even tested, until I can find a bug to the contrary at this point. But they have won even with me to some extent. I have Chromium installed because otherwise I would not be able to do several important tasks a month, due to this technical gaslighting on sites I can't avoid.
One aspect I didn’t see mentioned was that a lawn can be practical for a family. As kids we used to run around and play games, the dog liked to run a lot etc. and it’s easiest on a flat short and even surface. Plus you don’t have to worry about kids encountering critters, insect bites/stings, etc.

If your yard is more to LOOK at than to use, then this makes more sense to me

Amazon. Apple’s system doesn’t use much of your bandwidth or have anyone else’s data going through your device (it’s completely anonymous).
I would claim in most cases it is abused. Beside that I criticize the sentiment not the execution.
To "keep property values high." In today's market, at least, I seriously doubt the quality of a neighbour's lawn will have any significant impact on property values.
Cities are certainly not the norm when looking at "~all of human civilization.". The norm by far is small anarchic-communal villages (150 people or less). Yes, eventually some outliers form, and villages become a large metropolis, with all of the problems and certain pitfalls that entails.
I have kids who like to play in our yard. All sorts of sports and running around. For that type of activity, grass is ideal.

In contrast, a yard full of native plants sounds nice ... but you can't really do anything in it. It becomes ornamental rather than functional. I can't play a game a baseball if my entire yard is ferns and flowers rather than grass.

That said, in garden beds and places where plants and trees do make sense, installing native species is a no-brainer. We're in the process of getting rid of a bunch of non-native shrubs and plants and replacing them with native.

And in that case, we're making a transition from ornamental to functional. Previously, the trees and shrubs looked nice, but the birds and bugs didn't particularly care for them. Now, the birds are eating the berries, the butterflies and bees are loving the flowering plants, and we spend less time on maintenance.
I just meant places that hire enough new grads to have separate "new grad recruiting" teams.

Some companies do actually have explicit "new grad hire" cohorts with additional onboarding support targeted at new grads -- eg a seminar series or dedicated networking events.

Sometimes it's less formal or there's even no structured support at all.

But, in any case, I'm referring to companies that hire enough new grads each year to have an entirely separate recruiting mechanism for that population. When that's the case, it's just more likely that people are being hired as generic candidates rather than onto particular teams. And when that happens it's easier for people to fall through the cracks, because the direct manager didn't specifically pick that person as a good match for their specific need.
The docs have some information https://volmarg.github.io/

Perhaps it's better to link there. (Also it has a github repo.)
I think the tweet in the opening screenshot is simply wrong. I would argue that you almost always want paste to preserve the pasteboard formatting. Most copy/paste is within the same document, where you obviously want the odd bolded or italicized word to retain its formatting. But you don't notice those cases, because everything is working as expected. What you notice is that when you paste from an external source, the formatting is completely wrong.

I know that this is tangential to the point of the article, but it highlights an important point: you can't always trust what users say they want. You need to listen to them, because their frustrations point to real problems, but finding out what the actual solution is involves more work than just taking the user's suggestions at face value.
Mind Map for Creatives
I don't think there really should be any political association to the virus in general, it just so happened that the issue divided itself along the partisan lines as usual. The buying out toilet paper was just to give you the time frame, that's when overall people were being ridiculed over concerns about the virus. Personal anecdote, one somewhat heavily left-leaning friend we know was insisting on a meeting and we got laughed at when we refused, because we were afraid of virus.

> I haven't experienced any backlash against white people for any and all systemic racism built by other white people. I still do not see your point.

And I'm really glad you didn't. Not every Chinese experienced any backlash either. That's great for them too. But not everyone was so fortunate. Example from a BLM protest: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5ebji8
Yes. A rotating disk and paint. Sounds artsy.

However, that shows there is demand for paint on high ceilings. A robotic arm, with an AI that is able to paint the corners and circumvolutions with a brush, that is able to retouch if a spot was missed?

Maybe in the future, luxury will be in high ceilings that are clean and renovated. Imagine how dusty the paintings are in churches and palaces - imagine we could brush off the dust and restore their intensity every 6 months.
To be honest, Sun's whole culture treated software as an afterthought - which is part of the reason they ended up where they did
comparing the pi and tau formulas, though, the advantage of using the pi formula is you can pose the question (to someone who has never seen it) as such:

Given the formula, e^(ix) = -1, what would you suppose x is?

If you tried to use the tau formula, it falls flat:

Given the formula, e^(ix) = 1, what would you suppose x is?
> Correcting them now is akin to wiping a conference room blackboard during a bathroom break because you're worried that it shows information that damages your credibility.

That's exactly what they're doing. Why wouldn't they? What are you going to do about it? What is anyone going to do about it? With the rise of constant, feed-based media sources and polarization of politics, there's hardly any incentive for media outlets to hold themselves to any standards. Hence why most journalism is garbage nowadays. The loss of objectivity and reason is one of the most tragic things about the modern world, imo. Question the media, question science, question conspiracy theories, question everything and stay skeptical. We have more than enough evidence now that groups with power and influence are interested in convincing you of things, not of helping you find your way to the truth.
Yes. The well-meaning but ill-informed voters are the ones who think it isn't generous enough.
>Couldn’t we ... just... check? Like maybe the UN or the group of 7 or something similar?

China could have been forthright from the start (regardless if this was a lab-leak or not), but they weren't, and you can't make them.
Phobos Monolith
The Quest 2 is a marvel. My first VR headset and I have found so many ah-ha moments. Facebook reportedly has 20% of the company working on VR and AR, 10,000 employees. They are all in.

Key moments I've had:

When it's on you're head, your mentally there. The immersive impact is immediate and strong enough that you'll bash your lamp off the table and not even care. It's the end game of what every home theater, hi-fi audio system, high end gaming setup is trying to do, just done immediately and with no buy-in needed on your side.

Fitness is already a killer app. Get into a boxing match and your body will react like you are in an actual fight. You'll go so hard you can easily hurt yourself. No motivation needed on your end.

Social interactions are close enough to real life that you treat people like humans instead of Twitter ragers. Once face and eye tracking are added, it will quickly top video conferencing as the most personal way to communicate at a distance.

Media consumption is awesome. A movie theater in a box, complete with digital popcorn.

Productivity and apps have interesting potential. With hand tracking and multiple wall sized screens, it's already tantalizing close to the computers in Minority Report.

Gaming is extremely compelling. The immersion means instant fun. Play table tennis and you might forget it's not the real thing.

Experiences. Stand on Mars. Go to a foreign city. Get on a roller coaster when you are deathly afraid. Stand on top of a mountain you could never climb. The "thereness" will mean you have experienced it in an important way.

This seems like a product category that will have some impressive developments over the next 10 years. In its best moments, it is as compelling as the Star Trek Holodeck.
What outcomes are you expecting? The CCP are going to accept blame on behalf of some lab technicians and pay the world trillions in compensation?
Of course virologists would play down the lab leak hypothesis. They are the ones doing controversial research to make Coronaviruses more infectious. They would like the public not to pay attention to the dangers of their work, but to keep funding it.

Nature should put the conflict of interest front and center in any discussion fo this kind.

> get youth to first complete high school [...] But is it?

Yes, but it will never happen. I've seen this playbook in 3 countries now (one of which South Africa): attack education so that people aren't educated enough to understand why they need to vote you out.

If you speak to the people who keep voting for the regime, it's "I hate the ANC, but we must vote for them." In terms of destroying education to stay in power, that's a slam dunk.

Education is the Achilles Heel of democracy.
I find American home landscaping deeply boring. The absence of walls means you have no much privacy outside your backyard, or in the front rooms with your curtain opens. And given this "open-plan" scheme, there's no much you can do other than the ubiquitous grass front lawn and driveway.
Along with this lack of privacy, comes the usual pains of suburbia: gossiping, neighbors pets and the need to conform because you're basically under watch. for a nation so professedly individualistic and fearful of collectivism this is truly puzzling.
The sheer uniformity of it is truly suffocating. Now compare this with latin and Mediterranean urbanism and landscaping, free from the puritan obsession of the urban panopticon and the urge for uniformity.
Do we have reports from Tom, Dick and Harry that their experience is the same?
women constitute only 11% of all computer engineers in the country. Gender equality in Europe is better, with a reported average of 30% of female ICT representatives.

What a stupid way to start. They assume is measured by how many women work in tech, not by their freedom to do whatever they wish.
I agree. Knowing that I can buy up to a 2017 model without easy mass surveillance means I no longer have to stop shopping for vehicles until whatever year they first introduced those 'features'.
