WebRTC is an amazingly complex stack, and pretty much everyone is using Google's implementation (that powers Chromium). Funnily enough this in turn includes libjingle, which grew from Google's initial implementation of audio/video calling over XMPP (Jingle is still the negotiation protocol in use between XMPP clients).

This talk at FOSDEM earlier in the year was quite informative about what happens behind the Javascript WebRTC API that is all most people developing with WebRTC will usually see: https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/webrtc_shipping/
When I was tech implementation manager for a bunch of salesforce building in the US... 50 Fremont street sanfrancisco - they built waterfall reception desks from Koa Wood, where the wood had to be purchased from other, previously built pieces. IIRC the average price for each of these reception desk pieces was $65,000

Koa trees cannot be harvested and so to get Koa wood - you have to buy something that was already built and then make your thing out of it..

When I used Spotify I had wished my podcasts were able to be there since it would be convenient to just have the tracks in the same UI.

What I wanted though was just the ability to add podcasts via the open protocol url for them (how every other podcast app works) or for them to allow hosts to upload tracks.

Spotify instead saw an aggregation play - they could pay hosts for exclusivity and take those podcasts away from their open distribution into a distribution entirely controlled by Spotify. This is a hostile move to end users (and ultimately most content creators too in the end).
Notably covid vaccines were approved early because idiots in both arms didn't wear masks, and those in the control arms got very sick and died soon after the trial began.
Oh absolutely! If you haven’t worked with expression-based languages before, it’s a big mental shift. In my experience it’s harder to come back to one that isn’t after you’ve done things this way for a while. There’s an adjustment period for sure.
It is extremely ironic, but I think the most ironic would be fraud in a research paper about research paper fraud.

I honestly don't understand google's attitude towards rss. Wouldn't it be in their interest to support it? The alternative is twitter, and if everyone uses twitter, you might as well search twitter to learn what's happening, rather then the web.
That doesn't imply that these things are uniquely American, it only means that the article is scoped to America. If you write an article about the sky and point out that it's blue, it doesn't imply that the sky is the only thing that is blue.
This article could have been 1/3rd as long and contained way more data. Overall, I agree that online ads and disinformation have been give a god like aura that is not deserved.

As a percentage of views on platforms like facebook the amount of outright misinformation is miniscule, 10s of millions vs the 100s of Billions. Now if you deign misinformation as “information I disagree with/dont like” then sure that number goes up.

There was no “black magic” at Cambridge Analytica, those guys were idiots with data they didn’t understand selling promises they couldn’t deliver.

FB and Google are not “grimly secretive” compared to other F500s or say Apple? They are pretty transparent and their employees are still notoriously loose lipped. Also there has always been “yellow journalism”.

I agree that the fight against disinformation is likely to be worse than the disinformation itself.

Yea true ! Maybe depending on the availability maybe they can "spawn up" some x-amount of "spare servers" to get the median time even lower..
I write CSS everyday and I had no idea what "fs" meant.

"fz" is the typical shorthand used for font-size (at least by Emmet-style autocompleters). "fs" is used for font-style instead.
> strange to me how nobody questions why beavers only make damns a certain size, birds only make nests and don't go beyond that in complexity.

Unlike humans, beavers and most species of birds don't work cooperatively, which means they can't separate the workload needed for survival (e.g. one group hunts, one group builds dams, one group does childcare).

Okay, that's helpful, thanks for going right to the source - yes, that's what I learned in theater school (referred to as SAE), and found that it was useless for everything except Shakespeare and poetry. I thought it pretty unlikely that was what you were going to teach non-native english speakers.

Ask HN: Low-level programming for JavaScript devs?
What resources (with implementation) would you recommend for a JS / Node.js developer wanting to learn about lower-level / systems programming like memory management, I/O, etc ?

Can learning Rust or Go help fill the gap about these topics ?

I see you can run Rust code in Node.js via WebAssembly. There are not many beginner friendly (not coming from C/C++ background) resource for that. Do you know any ?

Does learning basic C/C++ help ?

Thanks

Kind of besides the point that "C++98 to avoid issues" when porting to a project that requires C++20 seems a bit odd. (And let's say that the quality of Qt's solutions in such cases over what you can now do is ... controversial)
J is functionally equivalent with APL, and a few other related languages like K. In the end you can call anything "syntax," but I'd invite you to give it a try. If C is British English and Python is online-English, then J is Russian, or maybe even Mandarin.

You have not addressed the fundamental point of my comment - why are you selling a north american accent in particular?

Clear speech is not predicated on acquiring a certain accent and i feel you are feeding into the stereotype of an accent determining the quality of the speaker, not the content of speech.

Edit - you ignore the fact that a native speaker of English may have an accent that is not North American. Think about millions in the Indian subcontinent or Africa. Are you not being subtly racist in implying that only accents from North America are desirable? Personally, i find many African accents incredibly clear and easy to understand.

This is the reason for my opposition to "accent coaches" - they focus on the wrong thing - the accent. To anyone with half a brain, D Trump sounds incredibly stupid despite his north American accent.
Climate change is at least a complicated subject. Reasonable people can quibble about how the computer models are constructed, etc.

For the vaccine, all you need to do is observe the millions of people who’ve gotten vaccinated, who almost without exception have not had serious reactions. And observe further that the vaccinated people are not dying of covid.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's something there, but I do have a hard time lining those theories up with my past interactions around the subject.

For example, a long time ago a roommate of mine wanted to get rid of some furniture, so he had a thrift store send a van to pick it up. It had all been pretty severely damaged by his dog. Having previously worked at a thrift store, I was pretty confident that they wouldn't want any of it, and mentioned as much to him, but he was sure they would be able to find a use for it, and so we schlepped it out to the curb.

After the van had left without taking much of any of it, and we were carrying it all around to the alley for the garbage trucks to pick up (which is free in our city, even for furniture), the thing he expressed remorse about wasn't the donation receipt. It was that he thought it was wasteful to throw all this furniture in the trash just because his dog had been chewing on it.

I still have similar conversations with my partner about this. Her bias is, she wants to hold on to even the slightest glimmer of hope that someone might find a use for an item. I lean toward not wanting to make the staff of the thrift store throw out my trash for me. I think it might just be hard to see if that way if you haven't been there. Neither of us cares about donation receipts, which we don't bother to collect, and still live in the same city that will take anything that will physically fit inside a garbage truck for no extra charge.

Tangentially, if you haven't seen one swallow a full-size sofa, put it on your bucket list. It's a fascinating spectacle.
While the price my be a bit high (watch for their sales for styles being discontinued, especially around Black Friday) - but I got really tired of replacing sheets that fell apart and just bought Frette ones as as splurge and got a second set awhile ago.

Go to any website of a mRNA COVID vaccine manufacturer and it will plainly state it is not meant to prevent infection. It is highly effective, for a period unknown, at preventing the disease caused by the infection.

AIDs is the disease caused by an HIV infection. COVID-19 is the disease caused by a SARS-COV-2 infection.

leaf components as a term appears in various discussions on web components. Many people don't see the value in full-blown web components(as they have lots and lots of unsolved issues), but agree that they may fill the niche/need for "dumb" reusable components at the end of the DOM tree (hence, leaf :) ): date pickers, buttons, links, all that kind of stuff.
Good luck finding anything that still seems "simple" when you really look towards understanding how it works rather than what it results in. Simple and complex always have to be relative to other things as nothing is absolutely "simple" e.g. even a single atom is an extraordinarily complicated environment which spans many textbooks and degrees worth of interactions and understandings. To say everything is just complex to more super duper extra complex is to just replace the sound of "simple" with the sound of "complex" yet have it mean the exact same thing and use it in the exact same way.
I read these as American writing about America and issues there. It is ok for Americans to write about America itself, it is ok for them to not have to make international comparative study from every opinion piece.

Israel has vaccinated 60-70% of its population, which isn't enough for herd immunity.

As for your comment specifically, "the title is enough" isn't a very convincing argument for anything.
If someone made an open iPhone or ThinkPad clone, I'd cheer and be in awe. The value is not in making unique innovative hardware, but making it open and accessible. It can then be the basis of further development.

Overall, nice to know. Reusing a form-factor is more of a benefit than detriment, if it's a good one.

Note that panel and assembly may match, but the electronic guts seems to be different, so it's not just a re-brand. Sadly, it's hard to make open hardware.
Here's a dirty secret: when the economy is growing people tend to be content and not too partisan. No need to be too concerned who is in power since it's unlikely they'll make your good life much worse. Maybe you won't benefit as much versus the other candidate but either one will result in a good life. The 70s are roughly when that stopped being the case in America.

The actual income adjusted for inflation hasn't increased since the 70s despite economic growth. Income disparity has increased as wealth was concentrated in a small percentage of the population. Technology has made many jobs obsolete and it's only getting worse. College and medical costs have skyrocketed.
I have to echo somebee about that benchmark suite. It's fairly well known in the framework-bulding community that this is not a very good benchmark (just ask Boris Kaul of Ivy.js, Ryan Carniato of Solid.js, Leon Sorokin of domvm, etc etc).

Some "frameworks" achieve good numbers there by being utterly unusable in real life, others miss the spirit of the benchmark completely (e.g. submitting a non-keyed implementation as keyed thereby gaining an unfair/misleading advantage), and as somebee said, the benchmark itself largely measures repaint time (and does so in a less than ideal way, by using setTimeout macro queue as a proxy for repaint time measurement, in band, instead of instrumenting performance via CDP). It lacks rigor in many ways (the most blatant was that initially it considered keyed and non-keyed implementations on par, but there are other issues such as putting a lot of weight into DOM creation compared to e.g. array diff, or as somebee said, not measuring low repaint load diffs)

IMHO, it only has two things going for it: a) it has a lot of frameworks listed b) it does at least attempt to measure repaint times unlike other benchmarks that only measure JS time (which has become somewhat irrelevant since V8 et al now offload repaints out of the JS thread)

You're not addressing the point you're replying to; that these vaccines were developed in weeks as an emergency. They're non-sterilizing. We wish they were sterilizing vaccines, but that's gonna be the next round now.

They're also not at 80% of the full population; most of the vaccination percentages you see batted around are in adults only, because most countries have vaccinated 0% of their under-12s.

https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-644288348135

> Israel has a population of approximately 9.3 million people, of which more than 60% are fully vaccinated, according toJuly 21 numbers from the online scientific publication, Our World In Data. The country has had one of the swiftest vaccine rollouts in the world. By February, 80% of those over 60 had already received shots.
Foot in mouth. I think you’re right that the article is arguing against censorship in the name of combatting disinfo. I still can’t tell but I think so. Go ahead and downvote me to oblivion.
(some strains of) HPV already have vaccines, social conservatism is what is allowing much of cervical cancer to continue in the rich world.
Pretty low quality article that doesn't consider such things, or the concept of fungibility and private protocols compared to mixing, or the history of how money was always expected to be fungible so this modern culture is unusual, etc... so many things to say, and so few people that are aware

Seems like a propaganda piece since it speaks entirely as mixing=bad. Would ask the author how he would feel about publishing all his bank statements publicly online, and if he would feel safe having address leaked and large crypto holdings that were public

Non-GAAP is understood to be biased. It’s the company’s version of their financials. This is not the same version that is audited and required to be submitted on a quarterly basis.
I'm not so sure it's specifically that always, maybe initially.

Perhaps someone has a strong opinion about a thing. They -know- they are right, and every news source is wrong. Until they find one also right. So far, we agree, that's what they want to hear.

But they keep turning to this source, who is spreading wild theories and untruths in other facets. But they were so right about issue X, they must be right about this too!

I think this pretty much sums up why so many 'conservatives' ended up unvaccinated. I cannot imagine that they set out wanting to hear that vaccines are unsafe or will give you microchips. Something/someone they trusted led them down this awful path.

As much as I support free speech, the last few years have really shown me the dangers of it, as well. But how can you regulate? Any arbiter is going to have a bias.

You could flip that upside down and ask why people are questioning the experts. Despite having almost no knowledge of statistics, epidemiology and other required skills. Vaccines with rare or almost no side effects are being called into question.

If all mRNA have side effects like the current crop of COVID vaccines I’m honestly not sure they are worth it as a seasonal flu shot.

I’m not talking about the scare mongering of long term effects. Just the immediate.

The day after my second moderna shot was worse than any flu I can remember and many of my friends in their 20s and 30s had to take a day off after their shot. I know several people in their 60s who had to take several days to a week in bed from vaccine side effects.

That’s fine for ending a pandemic or curing HIV, but for seasonal flu?

In terms of lost labor days, my anec-data points to this vaccine seeming worse than a seasonal flu.
If memory serves, some diseases can trigger something called Mast Cell Activation, which in effect...makes your body get allergic reactions to tons of things.

I HIGHLY recommend that, if it's in your budget, she make an appointment at the Center for Complex Diseases. They specialize in these sorts of issues. They are also really good at finding potential tick-borne coinfections such as Babesia and Bartonella. These are tricky to culture and they know which labs are best. I believe they are doing tele-health during Covid.

Note that the CCD is Not Cheap. While you can get insurance reimbursement for some of the doctor visits, it won't cover the whole thing. But I spent 10 years going to 'regular' doctors and I made more progress with them in 5 months than I did in the previous 5 years of medical appointments.
You know, its not impossible for millions of people to have long term side effects from COVID. The absolute overconfidence in its long term safety is based on nothing other than wish full thinking. There are early signs, and warning from Doctors now. They just ignored and gaslighted by corporate media, and sadly people like you that don't know the history of previous accidents with vaccines. Early Polio Vaccines caused 40,000 children, and more than 50 paralyzed.
I wonder if people will view it as sufficient that a digital copy of 'them' (or at least something identical to them at the point of copying) exists, despite their original biological minds eventually perishing.

It excites me to think about discovering the origin of our consciousness and being able to transfer that.
