Excellent mvp, congratulations and with 3yo and 5yo I can completely relate to what it takes to push through. Blessing to be around kids and also making your side projects going live. I have few questions, can I email especially about market data extending to other indexes.
Tasteless/careless, IMO, especially living (in Texas) where “covid parties” have happened and people lost their lives right around the block last year. Although, it may be of relevance to my younger unvaccinated nephew that survived a rough case last December and is worried about being in school over in Tennessee without masks.
The company produces some amount of economic output in a year. This can be stuff or it can be innovation. That is the total productivity of the company. The sum of all productivity of its employees adds up to that value. Right now, people are paid less than the value of their productivity so there is money leftover for the company to either stick in the bank (profit) or reinvest in other things.

Not everybody is equally productive. Somebody who has more skill or knowledge in a profession like software engineering will be considerably more productive than a less skilled engineer. Among leftist circles, I think you'd be very hard pressed to find people who describe productivity as literally just "number of hours worked".
Thoughts on gravitational lensing point above? From the photon's point of view, it is experiencing changes through time and space.
We have no encouraging long term data from any mRNA therapy. this is brand new. The animal tests were concerning to put it mildly.

Your chances of serious illness are lower for now. ADE shows dose dependent acceleration, so by the 4th or 5th booster it may be a different story.
You sound scared. Make better decisions and life won't be so terrifying.
Have you done any comprehensive profiling of Livebook? It would be really interesting to see how it runs on low end or average cloud hosting providers under load.

I'd love to see how many thousands of concurrent users could be interactively using and collaborating on a Livebook that's running on something like a $15 / month server. You could show off the memory, CPU usage and the latency of responses with varied amounts of load.

IMO that would be a very useful thing to look at and could push folks into using Phoenix more so than they already do because having a bunch of tiny websocket connections open (the old 2 million connection benchmark) isn't really relatable to a typical web application that you mentioned people are building like dashboards, feeds and other things. Livebook is a concrete application with features that might appear in many other web apps.

Something like that would be worthy of a demo video at a talk or even your YouTube channel if you were ever fishing around for what people in the community might want to see.
No. Absolutely not. It simply throws a huge amount of doubt on the prevailing narrative that it severely restricts supply.

One could make the argument that it helped increase supply but that wasnt my intention.
My wife and I are programmers (I was her senior at a company when we met). She gets a free coach/interview practice partner. I get more visibility into companies other than mine (e.g. in terms of compensation, work-life balance, joel test, etc)

Sometimes we use programming analogies to convey ideas to each other that are not related to programming. Work-related frustrations are usually very easy to relate to, since they're often things the other has also experienced first-hand.

I know of a couple whose husband was CTO and that helped the wife get promoted in the company (objectively speaking, she was no slouch by any means). Bit of an outlier scenario, but alas, it plays back to the coaching thing.
I've written a lot raw SQL in the dialect my language supports. This is fine for static queries. When queries are dynamic (maybe they come from an admin panel or some other part with lots of optionality), static SQL isn't enough. You then get to do one of three things: ad-hoc string manipulation, rely on a query AST->compiler (like SQLAchemy's core or HoneySQL), or an ORM. ad-hoc string manipulation is a real security and reliability nightmare, and if you don't have a good standalone query AST to SQL compiler, an ORM is the next best thing.
Where do you guys come up with shit?

Why does anyone take this website seriously? What a mockery of the term "hacker".
Most department stores were crappy shops and they've lost out as specialist retailers have become more common (particularly in fashion)

Online has put a dent in ‘high street’ revenues but even in the UK (where online is huge as a proportion of total sales), many hight street retailers are doing OK, it's the ones that aren't different that are suffering the most
I would assume that he gave his 4-year old his old cell phone.

Modern flip phones are clunky. I got a 5 year old, kids are smart. She would be able to use a smartphone if I allowed her too.
I await your commentary on the SALT2 calibration mechanism. This is the point where bias is introduced. The supernovae light curve data was biased before any analysis made.
Thank you for the encouragement! We think a lot about this problem as well. We think that within a specific vertical ("productivity tools", "finance software") there is probably a lot of opportunity to use an intermediate schema for a bidirectional mapping.

But, as you mention, we're also being careful to observe what kinds of integrations customers are asking for before trying to generalize the problem.
A big store that sells everything.

Ugh it must have been so satisfying to take all that science and data and generate an image like that in 1979.
There are languages which can automatically transform between a.foo(b) and foo(a, b) - for example the D language. Does this make 2.weeks.from_now more palatable? And if it does, then why worry about whether the code “goes on the class” or not? During execution it doesn’t really matter where the code lives, and during development open classes are doing basically the same thing as defining functions overloaded on the first argument.

huh? I think teenagers in the 70s would not agree..
What is the harm?

"I'm very worried about getting Covid, but I'm also worried about the vaccine, so I'll get Covid to protect me against Covid?"

This is an important public health topic to model how the pandemic proceeds as more and more are naturally infected.
As you can see from some previous replies, it’s because people are less concerned with what’s true than with how (they believe) information will influence the behavior of others.

The apparent prevalence of this attitude in media and public health is eroding the credibility of those institutions, imo.
Many department stores catered to the middle market, which post-war become very large.

But people now seem to want either very cheap or very fancy. Hence, in the UK, the death of stores like BHS, while, for example, Primark (bricks-and-mortar cheap fashion) and M&S food (fancy groceries) have thrived.
I remember Goldbergs from my time as a student in Edinburgh in the 1980s - never went in though.

The shop had a rather weird location which was apparently due to some planned roads at Tollcross that never actually happened:

https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-and-ent...

It might have been the horrific plans for an inner ring road in Edinburgh - which I can say I'm very happy never got built:

Iced can compile to WASM and be run in a browser, but that's just a single target. There is no concept of DOM in Iced itself.
We're going through a period of history of where we're asking the question who controls whom: do governments control corporations or do corporations control governments? A lot of people want governments to be able to control corporations since many governments are beholden to their citizens, whereas corporations are not.

> Law, order, morality.. those are things defined by a democratically elected legislative branch, and enforced by the judiciary branch, not by rich suits in closed off board rooms

I'm confused - you complain about "rich suits in closed off board rooms" making decisions (corporations control governments), yet you also complain about Apple "bent to the will of the Chinese government"? Well, which way do you want it? Who do you want to control whom? You can't have it both ways.
Yeah, that situation was worse. American Express had a partnership called ISIS and issued cards under their "Serve" brand. They literally said "serve isis" on the front. That name had to change.

I don't think the stigma here is nearly so tangible.
I _strongly_ disagree with this article. Emissions aren't the only factor at play here. If everyone on the planet ate local (by "local" I mean within 40 miles of where you live), large agricultural businesses would go out of business. Food supply chains would diminish to almost nothing. Meat consumption would probably go down. Local farmers are more likely to care for the land than large agricultural businesses, so soil quality could increase. Farms would grow more of a variety of foods which would be better for the soil and the people. The food would be generally healthier. Everyone could know their farmers, and how the farmers treat the land, the animals, and the people. People could choose to buy food from farmers that do these things the best. This would increase competition among farmers to treat the land, animals, and people better. Etc etc.
No it never was controversial. But know you MUST accept de vaccine, unlike the seasonal usual flu for which nobody cared if you really were vaccinated against or not, pre 2020. Natural infections being better than vaccine goes against this cultish idea, because taking the vaccine is a symbol of trust in the mainstream, of faith in the science and trust in the system of academia-pharma-govenrments-media we have right now. Not taking the vaccine is a clear symbol of distrust in the system aforementioned and in the wisdom of current elites.
Yet what qualifies one as an expert? How would you be able to judge?
I don't see it happening. FOSS either forms companies and plays the same PR game as everyone else, or we'll be stuck in the same aftermarket-nothing-working-correctly feeling OP is getting burnt out on. This is why I think the Fairphone, eSolutions, Librem, the Pine gadgeds matter so much, because they are the step in the right direction: packaging the marketing and an OOTB solution, but built the Right Way.
Proactive. Explicit. Responsible. This is the way.
The title is a fake news. The same goes for the article on sciencemag and conclusions of the research. Researchers did not prove that vaccines cause higher risk.
I agree with your point for small size data structures. But in general, and in the case of the OP source code, he doesn't even need to copy its arguments to pass them by value, he should pass them via a const reference, and just pass the address.
I think today about how to rebuild the web based on current technology. That is, the technology based into the browser offers a wide range of choices. Why not pick better from what we've got rather than build something new?
LOL. I remember that. Also there was this happened in India: Zica Car vs Zika virus.
Individuals who were naturally infected and then vaccinated, or vice-versa, should be well protected. It is unclear if a combination of the two provides better immunity especially when challenged by variants of concern. However, preliminary in vitro evidence (cited in OP) suggests that yes, a combination of the two may confer better short-term protection than either one alone [1].

> The data suggest that immunity in convalescent individuals will be very long lasting and that convalescent individuals who receive available mRNA vaccines will produce antibodies and memory B cells that should be protective against circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. [1]

It seems like WeWork has a significant opportunity to buy departments stores in commuter towns and rent to people who want to regain their sense of work-life balance.
All the simplifications that they mentioned seem reasonable to me.

Wouldn't Power Users be regular users of things like keyboard shortcuts, AutoHotKey scripts, etc...?

For example, 99% of my time is spent in seven or eight applications and use the Win-# key to jump between them. Win-1 is file explorer, Win-2 is web browser, Win-3 is email, etc...

For lesser used things I hit the Win key and start typing the name of the thing I want and then hit enter as soon as it's highlighted. The organization or size of the Start menu is not important.

The only feature I use that I would lose is small task bar icons, but that isn't exactly a showstopper for me.

If the list is what Windows' most loyal users are complaining about, Microsoft must be doing a good job. If anything, I think these changes will affect more casual users who spend a lot of time inside the start menu.
I would equate it to hiring for a job: saying you have a college degree (history of infection) < showing the degree (proof of vaccination) < showing your GPA (antibody levels). This is because my colleagues say of covid: "oh, just sniffles" versus "worst sore throat and muscle aches of my life". Unlikely both these immune systems are similarly trained to fight covid
Stripe, Shopify and GitHub are still largely relying on Ruby as far as I know (and while there are reimplementations of some of their services in some languages, I don't think C++ or Java have been publicly mentioned often).

That said, I think one important asset of Elixir (in my view) is not the raw performance, but the overall "total cost of ownership" (including maintenance work, and software is a lot of maintenance).

Being able to simplify architectures is something that is nicely done with Elixir, actually.

If a part of an app needs to play a "proxy" role (like here https://github.com/etalab/transport-site/tree/master/apps/un...), then I just add a component to the app, and I can keep the incoming connections under hand, all while issuing external queries etc.

If there is a need to do some rich interactive dashboards, I can use LiveView.

If I need to demonstrate some simple stuff, I can use "Mix.install" to create one-off scripts.

If I need to do more data-science, I can tap into LiveBook, VegaLite etc.

All this with a small team or as a solo developer, is quite great, much more than raw performance, in my eyes.
Good news for survivors, but this is going to make battles about vaccine passports much worse as anti-vax covid survivors demand exemption from the program.
Insecure by default by opt-in security and a "should never" allready guarantees that it will happen IMHO.
I am really confused by this comment. "Companies leveraging a quick to develop in, batteries included framework, with really poor performance, beat out companies using highly performant but less quick to develop in languages/frameworks, is reason why I'm suspect about a quick to develop in, batteries included framework that also prioritizes real time communication, with quite solid performance, and really predictable latencies".

I mean...the argument about "the hassle of training and hiring in a whole new language" applied just as much when Rails took off. While Ruby had been around since the mid-90s, it was definitely an esoteric language for the decade or so prior to Rails.

Will Phoenix penetrate as broadly as Rails? Probably not, since Rails already exists, and now benefits from having a lot of people who know it. But being able to reduce hardware costs by 90% while giving up little of the flexibility, and bundling in a lot of real time features can be quite compelling; we'll just have to see.

The vaccine isn't doing anything in your body to fight COVID-19 infection actively. Your immune system is doing the fighting regardless.
The demise of department stores in the UK has been partly driven by the rise of supermarkets and out of town retail parks.

UK towns are historically car unfriendly, frequently jammed with traffic, and car parks are costly. Local councils have permitted out of town retail parks with their own free parking often building new dual carriageways and roads to reach them. People preferentially go there instead.

Supermarkets moved out of town, so no need to go into your local town for necessities, i.e. food any more, therefore no more casual shopping. And lastly supermarkets and other shops have started selling clothes, kitchenware, and electronics all of which used to be in department stores.

There's no necessary reason (food) to venture into your own town any more.

Local council planners mostly caused this, and the internet finished them off. The irony that every local council in England talks about 'saving the high street', without the self awareness that they caused the problem, and are still causing it.
you can't link directly from the app. however you can ask for email and send the link via email. the settlement hasn't been approved yet (filed yesterday) so the exact terms haven't been updated.
Ah I see what you mean.
I have some friends in PR for Act 60 that say yes to that

Based on what their Act 60 specialists say

As this matches my plan as well

But you should consult the specialists
Tauri, while an improvement on some aspects, is still a webapp in a shell. But it has the problem that you have to deal with browser specific quirks.

From what I understand, this will avoid that problem by compiling to whatever native platform you are building for? Also it'd not just be a webapp in a shell.
I've lived in the UK 21 years, and only been in one once. It's decline was long and slow.
I feel for you. What do you doubt and feel insecure about?
Dengue is the notable counterexample, but that seems unlikely to be an issue with COVID. AFAIK, it’s the virus’ behavior that matters, not the vaccine.

In a few months/years we'll be on to epsilon and nobody will care - I wonder if the Kappa and Omega brands are getting worried?
“But whereas AstraZeneca uses the same adenovirus for both doses, Sputnik V uses two different types, to prevent antibodies against the first dose from rendering the second one ineffective. (J&J only uses one dose; a trial of a two-dose regimen is ongoing.)”
There are two reasons to use OT (IME):

The occasional and unpredictable issue. Construction crews took out the internet for half the city (happened to us a few weeks ago, maybe not half the city but it was bad). This broke a lot of communication systems (how can you deploy your work even working remotely when the systems you need aren't reachable?) and other things. Once service was restored, this forced a scramble the next week to get things done that had to be delayed and also hit the expected deadlines for that week (or risk a cascade effect of everything being delayed). One week of OT for a few people, everything was back in order. This is rare, unpredictable, and so not an anti pattern. It's a thing that happens.

Regular OT is the anti pattern. If your team is working long hours every day, regularly coming in on the weekend, if deployment always runs long and the team has to stay all weekend (even if this is an annual thing because you didn't get the memo on CI/CD), you have a problem.

It could be understaffing. It could be just lousy work. Working long hours seems to induce a decline in quality on its own. It could be a cultural problem. It could be abuse of the system (especially if OT is paid at a higher rate). It could just be bad processes. But regardless, if it happens regularly it warrants investigating.
The Greek phonetics seems more accurate than the Chinese phonetics. The Pinyin "x" is more "ɕ" than "ʃ".
Does this use the text input stack provided by the platforms? Or is it parsing raw keyboard events?

I only ask because if it doesn't use platform text input, that is a non-starter for mobile.

It also would mean having to reimplement platform behavior for text input, like being able to hold Shift on macOS while moving the cursor to change text selection.
Tomayto, tomahto, if Covid had not happened these stores would most likely still be in business.
Quite the opposite in the town near where I live in Fife - the town centre has boomed since Covid. I suspect people popping out to shop during the day rather than commuting into Edinburgh.
When will software developers learn they aren’t the only market for computers or software?
Eastern Europe and Israel seem to have a decent proportion.
Nobody chooses VSCode specifically because it's in Electron, we choose it because it's a good editor.

Any app can send network requests, so any app can incorporate tracking. This has nothing to do with Electron either.

But to your original point: yes, the more Electron apps that are really just web apps and can be gotten as PWAs, the better.
It’s a single store, which has loads of different departments in it - perfumes, clothes, electricals, homeware etc.
Yes! This was the reason our first integration was with Chartio. I wonder if it is easy to find companies that are shutting down - maybe even an HN search would give us some direction.
Convenience über alles, user friendlyness gone wrong would be my guess.
I keep my journal in a private git repository. I hope one day someone from my family will read it if I'm gone. Maybe I'll share it with someone I love if they ask.
I had the fear that it could be leaked, but honestly I realized I didn't care that much if it gets public as no one will care except maybe the ones mentioned in it.

I find it therapeutic to write things down.

The access information is printed on a sheet of paper somewhere and I will probably just print the whole thing one day.
Yeah. Should be "If you survive covid 19, you will have greater immunity to covid that you would get from a vaccine"
I'm not really sure what you mean by "support gethostbyname robustly" or that "dns clients aren't affected." Because on a GNU/Linux system the only correct method of resolving DNS is by using gethostbyname (or nowadays getaddrinfo) and friends. If you do anything else things will be broken because you aren't following the distro's/system integrator's/sysadmin's/user's configured NSS modules for name resolution.

And getaddrinfo returns a linked list of results so it's not exactly hard to support 100 results. All the actual junk about TCP/UDP is completely abstracted away from the caller.

So sure, while you could use your own DNS client specifically for talking to Consul's DNS server the whole point of the thing is to act as a compatibility layer for software you didn't write and which will 100% of the time use glibc's methods.
I thought it was in the plot that they went independent or something along those lines. I guess time for a rewatch before the new season.
Okay so a case fatality rate of 1.65% is fine with you, but a 0.003% chance of Myocarditis is not okay? Yes another difference is COVID is easily spread through the air amongst people so yeah it is much worse than a slow growing tumor you are correct.
https://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/HardwareInfo lists a bunch of filesystems being supported. which one do you recommend for a dual boot system to share data with linux?

i booted haiku on a linux laptop that is using btrfs and it wasn't able to mount the linux partitions. (mounted it as almost empty with some broken entries, so it looks like btrfs needs more work)

i would expect that ext4 is most popular and thus more likely to be stable
