I somewhat understand the hate for electron but as a non-Mac user I'd much rather have access to this app - and I suspect the author would rather have me pay them for it. For such niche software it seems silly to build it so platform specific.
I've only run it as part of stress tests when evaluating it for a new application, and I found it to be a pleasure to work with.

We did push it to more than 10k partitions, but I honestly don't remember how that affected it; that's when I discovered that partitions cannot be dynamically rebalanced, which meant we'd have to change the way we would use it.

Interestingly, we also did a similar test with NATS JetStream, which did start struggling around 10,000 consumers. (A consumer in NATS is similar to a partition, as it has its own Raft group.) What I tried to do with JetStream goes against the grain a bit, mind you; I still think it's an excellent piece of software.

>But, while that's a fun exercise, it isn't how mathematicians actually determine the value of Pi. They use formulas[2] based on elementary numbers, such as this: Pi = Sqrt( 6 Sum[k=1..infinity](1/k^2) ).*

Yes, but this didn't come from God (or the Platonic realm of Ideas) into mathematicians heads. Humans arrived at that by first observing natural laws / behavior (e.g. 1 apple + 1 apple = 2 apples, or observing that somebody can't be A and not A, and so on) and progressing from those into abstractions. Nature comes first, not abstraction.

Nor there is some plane where mathematical abstraction or logic exists outside of the universe. It exists only (a) explicitly on people's heads (which, unaraguably, are part of nature), (b) as implicitly observed on natural behavior by said people.

>Maybe you believe that the numbers 1, 2, 3... are different in different universes. Personally, I can't fathom that.

No, I believe that numbers don't exist. What would "1" even be, as an entity in our very universe? There is a rock or a planet or a tiger, but not an 1.

Countable things do (but not necessarily on another universe, where e.g. there might be just a single entity).

Also, we already have boolean algebra in this universe, which has different properties compared to regular algebra. In that sense a logic circuit is already a kind of universe where the algebra that governs it is different. One could well imagine a universe that only observes circuit board like behavior.

> I'm not quite clear what you mean by "sharing a single queue between services".

I was referring to your (seemingly snarky, and I apologize if I mistook your intent) comment that you hoped I wasn't suggesting to a shared database between services.

I understand and agree that this is what OP was stating. What I was saying was that having the consumers and producers sharing a queue is not that much different from having them share a database, but a database gives you other guarantees as well. (I am a big fan of queues and have been using SQS since 2007.)

In other words, the database is still going to be your bottleneck/SPOF and a queue just introduces needless complexity; you might as well just write to the DB directly and have a table in the DB (or something like a Redis set) to track the jobs.

A queue with indeterminate ordering is better aimed at idempotent jobs than jobs that will eventually need to be serialized by necessity or design.
> A rudimentary exam could do it.

But what does this exam actually entail? I am looking for an actual specific class of test or set of tests.

> Entirely wrong.

Please elaborate. What mechanism drives those characteristics if not hormones?

> These aberrations exist but are incredibly uncommon. I think I'd read of a single woman thus far with XY chromosomes.

A woman having a 46,XY karyotype has odds of about 1 in 100000 which would put the likely number of women with a 46,XY karyotype at almost 40k people across the globe. It's undoubtedly rare but that is still a lot of people. While these women have lower hormone levels without treatment, they have otherwise completely healthy female bodies which results in most women never identifying that they have the condition in the first place. Unless a genetic test is performed, it just appears as if these women have hypogonadism which can occur for any number of other reasons.

The opposite (a man with a 46,XX karyotype) is even more common with about 1 in 20000 odds which sits the population at close to 200k people. But once again, because it results in relatively little to no health issues or abnormalities beyond low hormone levels and infertility (hypogonadism), it is often either left untreated or is treated without identifying the cause.

Similarly, a male with a 47,XXY karyotype has a very similar if not almost identical experience as a 46,XX male. With odds of 1-2 in 1000, that's 4 to 8 million people who don't fit that standard sex definition.

> What do you think is driving the need for constant hormone replacement?

Remember this is talking about an individual without their sex organs. If they are removed or are non-functional, the individual almost always needs hormone replacement because without those organs to produce sex-related hormones (which effectively serve as the control switch/regulatory system), significant chunks of the endocrine system stop regulating themselves properly and the individual ends up with hormone imbalances.

In the case of SRS, the hormone producing sex organs (either testes or ovaries) as well as anything else that isn't needed any more are removed and the remaining organs are reshaped to match the form of their counterpart for the other sex. At that point all sex-hormone production is artificial/manual just as it would be for an individual of that sex who had those organs removed due to health issues (or that have those organs non-functional).

---

Trust me I've looked for any medical or biological evidence that human sex characteristics excluding the primary reproductive organs (testes, prostate, penis, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina) are driven by anything other than hormones. I can't find any evidence to support that fact. The prevailing opinion of the medical community seems to support the fact that sex is driven by hormones and organ presence rather than any other mechanism. If you can find a medical source that supports otherwise I would love to read it and this is a serious request because if by chance I'm wrong there's no benefit in me staying that way.
Back in 2014-2015ish, a few different articles were published about how everything was going to unwind around the 2019-2021 time frame. Social unrest, economic problems, etc were all predicted and it would take about 8-10 years to climb back out. There was a particular article that was incredibly fascinating, a researcher who studied the hunting habits of predators (ex:wolves) was able to use the same metrics and apply them to humans/society and also predicted societal unrest/collapse. I've never been able to find the articles again, it disappeared from the Internet. Nothing lasts for ever, there is always calamity at some point whether it's natural or man made. I figure without a world war, climate change will probably be the catalyst. On that note, I remember a ship that landed in BC, Canada with 300 Sri Lankans about a decade ago, it caused an uproar across Canada. People were so pissed off that they wanted to send them back and were even saying the Canadian Coast Guard should have sunk the ship at sea. Can you imagine what happens when climate change sends 100's of ships a day with 10's of thousands of people everyday. I suspect the southern US boarder will be overwhelmed with millions of refugees also. It all feels like the beginning of the end,interesting times....
Related anecdote, when I was in university, I had changed my university IT services password to something "offensive" (had the F word in it) after getting frustrated trying to find one that met the novelty and entropy requirements. I was contacted later by IT to tell me that was an inappropriate password and to change it. I found it much more offensive to know that IT could see my password in plain text, than I would to read a swear word.
That's a valid workaround that shouldn't be needed.

FWIW I turn off all contact apps (email, chat) entirely if it's important.
I feel the opposite, we started to hear so much about China overnight around 2019 that I can't help but feel it's another war the US is starting to brew and preparing the public opinion for it. Kosovo, Iraq, Syria, ... The pattern is the same everytime, the media pick a target to prepare the opinion for the warmongering. Is China doing awful things? Of course. But so is Saudi Arabia, the Yemeni crisis currently dwarf the problems in China (and Syria at the time when the US chose to intervene). I don't know what should be done, but at least US citizen please don't fall blindly for the N-th iteration of the "one and unique evil enemy of democracy that must be dealt with" du jour.
They don't because in Japan they're not as worried about their own citizen leaving the country.

When you get caught stealing something in Japan they will take you into custody for over 20 days, no bail, no nothing. I believe it's 10 days and then 1 or 2 extensions(but I don't remember the details). This only applies to foreigners.

Basically the idea is that the only real punishment they can give you is whatever they can give you for breaking the rules before you flee the country.

But yeah, there's obviously also an aspect of racism there.

I hope you can see the main part where I specifically stated we are talking about electrophoresis only. If you want to start including interferometry then that's a different topic. There's sadly, good reasons why Qualcomm killed Mirasol. But that's another story for another day.

Very nice. I like these tutorials showing the nuts and bolts of wasm and C without just throwing it at emscripten toolchain.

I'm curious if there's perf differences between canvas and webgl canvas. This project uses just canvas, but iirc passing frames to be rendered by webgl is faster. Perhaps I'm wrong in this context.

I also don't see threading in here. Makes sense for a demo, but if this were to be used performantly you'd have to throw it all in a webworker so it doesn't block the main thread. This is one point of contention with wasm because it's not straightforward to render to a canvas/webgl on the main thread from a worker thread. OffscreenCanvas is one workaround but not supported by FF or safari.

If you think AT&T tech support is bad, imagine asking for help from the corrupt Pakistanis, or the stone age syphilitic Iranians out of a Marxist death camp. In all seriousness, dying and crying is ineffective. It's better to do a good job so your slavers are leveraged, and in response to slightest praise from the lowest echelon, kick off in Asian tradition the mass suicide. You don't have to really do it. People die anyways. Just store their bodies in oil, and when the time comes, tie a rope around them and drop them off an abandoned skyscraper. Throw some branded product around the ground level mush from a big client, like Nike or Apple, so the viral video shows starving prisoners throwing that cheap junk out of the way to slurp up the remains in a tragic and desperate act of survival cannibalism [1].

You actually have to sign out first. THEN you are given the option to exit the app. Before I discovered this, it was enough for me to uninstall the app. I have no idea why you'd make it this hard to just exit an app.

I don't understand if you have a contention with the article, and if so, what the contention is. You say that this "doesn't sound like the story of any visionary startup [you] know of", but the article never makes the claim that this is a successful path to go down - it is very clear that this is a failure story.
The most applicable knowledge I ever got was from a seasoned vet seeing promise in me and taking me under their wing as a mentee. 2 people in 2 different careers helped shape my path and gave me a perspective of the world that my parents and schooling could not.

The article says Twitter ``declined to elaborate on which countries submitted the [journalist takedown] demands'' but that India and the US were the top sources of ``all information requests'', which is a more general category that also includes things like requesting a user's IP address, etc. I don't think it's necessarily true that the `information request' rankings match the journalist takedown request rankings.

The takedowns aimed at journalists were only 2% of all the `information requests' they received, according to the numbers in the article (361 journalist requests, 14,500 total `information requests').
I think 99% of Americans certainly have the stomach for it. The 1% that derive their income from skimming the difference created by cheap Chinese labor don’t.
I use and love nodejs daily, and I think I can speak to some of the stupid. A lot (but not all) has to do with ecosystem.

Some of the stupid in node just comes from the fact that there's still a lot of reinventing the wheel, and doing a less good job of it. Like, we've got all these backend frameworks, but still nothing at all that compares to eg Spring. Can you even find a nodejs lib that does HATEOAS properly and completely? How often do you find yourself doing string parsing, or handling a JSON object, when you know it would be more efficient to be handling a stream, or that really the kind of work you're doing ought to be handled by your framework but isn't?

As for nodejs itself, it's much better in 2021 than it was in the past. But it's still a massive runtime. And I have mixed feelings about eg Worker threads. As for node_modules, I get the sense that we're just replaying the history of Microsoft's dll story, needing to relearn all the lessons that should have been learned already.

As for Deno, I think it comes with great ideas. In many respects, I like it better than Nodejs. Most of its good ideas, Nodejs is flexible enough to accomodate. One of Deno's main advantages is that it doesn't have any legacy to support, so it can embrace things like ECMAScript modules more easily. Its library system is closer to Go, although I think the end result is that a lot of folks end up doing one-off systems that end up looking a lot like the nodejs module resolution system in the end. Deno's main disadvantage is that it is not compatible with nodejs libraries. That's also an advantage insomuch as you have a clear module import spec from the get-go.

In short, the stuff that Deno can do, Nodejs can do, and I'm not sure that it's cleaner system can overcome the fact that the same is accomplishable in Nodejs. I'd be more than willing to use Deno in a greenfield project because I like all the technology choices it makes, but fundamentally, the technology choice you're making is whether or not to use V8, and adopting Deno is almost just a way of pressing the reset button the ecosystem, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your needs.
no, my point is that you can apply this argument to anything: "how could X be safe if X is software that could be backdoored, delivered to you via internet tubes that can be mitm'ed, compiled by another software that can inject backdoors and runs on hardware that could contain backdoors"
Data from Indian transactions should be stored and ideally even processed in India. This seems fair and reasonable to me.
> Also, you are not allowed to access the data of anyone you know personally for any reason whatsoever.

Which explicitly also includes yourself, because looking yourself up would e.g. let you see who has you blocked.

You're also fairly unlikely to access personal data by accident. You have to explictly go look for it in the internal tooling, which has pretty good signage around interfaces that could potentially expose you to personal data by accident so you know to be careful (I did a couple of tickets for the abuse team and testing that stuff was riddled with interstitials asking if I was sure I wanted to access personal data). "Oops I didn't notice" just doesn't fly.

They're also fairly good at removing the semi-legitimate reasons you'd have for accessing personal data. If you have friends or family that are having some sort of issue, they have a separate priority queue you can submit requests to so they'll look into those issues for you, for example. If you need test data, there's great tools to generate test users with all sorts of weird configurations (so you don't have to rely on finding a live one that meets your criteria)

She should sue Facebook. This industry has no will to change. It must be coerced.

Ideally, your data should be encrypted and no one at Facebook should not have access to it. Only those people whom you have chosen to then share that data should have access to the degree given (crypto wise, maybe this means you decrypt and broadcast to those people like email). Any reason why a Proton-like model wouldn't work for technical reasons? Facebook could still make money off ads, but those ads would be less targeted. Good. We need less targeting.
But that's true for oodles of things. Yes, I could have mined some BTC a decade ago. Yes, I could have gone to the lunch when they gave out free XLM. But there are also an absolutely enormous number of ways I could have made megamillions. I could have bought a ton of GME last year.

This approach enables you to disregard the opinion of literally everybody who owns no BTC. That's going to cause trouble.
