I think you undersold the upshot here, which is that no, the author did not actually see Ireland.

Anyway, there are so many little projects out there run by people outside of the whole open source universe and don't even think to put up a Github page. Windows freeware is a big example, as well as a bunch of little hobby websites that probably don't earn any money but provide extremely valuable services. They'll probably just disappear one day when the owner gets bored or dies.

In the mapping department alone, there's this, gpsvisualizer.com, caltopo.com, Orux Maps (although that developer may earn enough from donations to keep it going). Lots of web based tools that are fulfilling a critical role for someone, somewhere, but nobody has a backup copy of the code.

I'm a bit puzzled by "reducing binary footprint (surprisingly) by removing bloated dependencies" since linenoise has no dependencies (beyond libc) that I'm aware of.

$ size linenoise_example
text data bss dec hex filename
14718 948 184 15850 3dea linenoise_example

$ size bestline_example
text data bss dec hex filename
40830 1000 9280 51110 c7a6 bestline_example

Which seems reasonable since bestline has a bunch of unicode tables and handling for a bunch of editing features beyond linenoise's minimalist featureset, but I still don't understand the "bloated dependencies" remark...

Foreign Keys – An Introduction
As a Flutter developer, "Write in JavaScript, Render in Flutter" is vague.

"Write Flutter apps in Javascript" would make more sense. Flutter is not a "renderer", Flutter is a framework + engine. "Kraken" literally builds widgets for you when you write Javascript code, Flutter is doing a lot more than "rendering".

"Kraken" is like React Native, but instead of talking to the host platform, it uses Flutter. Flutter is already cross platform, so the only benefit here is to write in Javascript. However, you would probably inherit some costs similar to React Native: communication between a Javascript Engine/ interpreter and a AOT compiled application. This time, you don't get to use the react-native-plugin NPM packages, because you'd need kraken-flutter-plugins.

The biggest concern I have is usability. How will I use popular Flutter packages, from Javascript? The "Kraken" community is very small. Even worse, the community seems purely based in China.

It's very difficult to understand the health of the codebase with all these github issues written in Mandarin Chinese: https://github.com/openkraken/kraken/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%...
> Well most first time founders don’t even know you have to do these things. Or even if they do know they still might have zero leverage and take the money anyway, knowing they’ve relinquished some control.

You are assuming there is no contiguity of self during sleep, but present no evidence for this idea. There's plenty of evidence, however, that sleep is closer to an altered state than a cessation/reset of state. The brain is intact and active during all stages of sleep. We dream every night and merely forget most of them, and remembered dreams are certainly contiguous with waking consciousness.

The analogy between "sleep" in biological brains and "sleep" functions in modern operating systems is only that - an analogy.
Agree it seems likely that dosing plays a fundamental role.

Moderna while still seeming to suffer from this problem seems to be suffering less than Biontech, they are very similar in general, biggest difference is Moderna having already a longer minimum waiting period between the shots and a way bigger dose of mRNA per shot. So this may already be a hint.

Also currently it looks like a third shot is giving a really great boost compared to the second one, at least in the short term. Same with using mRNA as a booster shot after a vector based vaccine.

This is never going to happen because the current nuclear powers keep abusing their power to benefit themselves. Look at Ukraine. They were effectively invaded and part of their territory annexed. There is nothing that can be done because Russia is a nuclear power. Or look at Libya or Iraq or Afghanistan. All of these invasions are backed by the threat of nuclear weapons.

It's not even too much to say that the only really sovereign countries are countries with nuclear capabilities or the ability to acquire them very quickly.

Don’t think people are ready for pilotless planes.

Computers are good at doing exactly what you tell them to do. But in novel situations that they haven’t been programmed for, they have zero common sense to negotiate the situation.

That said I don’t mind virtual pilots that double check the decisions of human pilots and sound the alarm if something doesn’t match up but otherwise you wouldn’t even know it’s there - kind of like a spell checker; then we have the best of both worlds.

I believe you have misunderstood the purpose of patriotism.

Belief in a country is self-identification with a shared narrative. Just like with a startup, some things are impossible to achieve unless everyone (perhaps irrationally) believes they are possible.

Is Country X special? Maybe not. But if everyone there believes it's special, the country may yet become some version of its ideal self. Patriotism is vision casting. It is the story we tell ourselves that we may become the people we want to be.
It's not a bad response, but not so correct.

TBF, I agree with the sentiment...cloudflare does seemed poised to own the world.

But they don't do everything well.. Not everyone wants a stupid landing page or captcha.

And Cloudflare will say... wait that's just free tier stuff, our enterprise stuff is X. Which is the whole problem, people associate free tier stuff with them, while they do offer better things. And those things compete directly with others who offer...those same things.

If Cloudflare is the endgame, why are companies like mine still getting customer acquisition?

Others have plenty of network capacity... that's not even a thing.

That's actually the exact opposite of reality: Dart was a retention project for Lars Bak, and it was designed specifically with a focus on being able to make a fast VM implementation. The goal from the beginning was to have native support in browsers (they even got an ECMA standard for it!), and support compile-to-js as a polyfill until browsers had native support, but they couldn't convince any of the other vendors and so not even Chrome supported it. Some time after that, Lars Bak left Google.
The challenges don't have instructions. The idea being that they're not necessary: curiosity is sufficient.

> VPN providers that don't provide logs in court, but do have them

That doesn’t make sense. If the provider has the logs, they’ll be presented in court if the company is given a subpoena and the owners are American. No one is going to risk contempt and jail time for their customers.
"The German proliferation of knowledge created a curious situation that hardly anyone is likely to have noticed at the time. Sigismund Hermbstädt, for example, a chemistry and pharmacy professor in Berlin, who has long since disappeared into the oblivion of history, earned more royalties for his "Principles of Leather Tanning" published in 1806 than British author Mary Shelley did for her horror novel "Frankenstein," which is still famous today."
There are many things that the python ecosystem does better than the node ecosystem, but pip isn't one of them. Pip (and Python package management in general) is just terrible and definitely one of the worst compared to all other ecosystems.

I see a lot of exceptions versus error types/values, as if there's no in-between of exceptions and error types/values. There exist languages that support both. OCaml has both optional values and exceptions. C++ with std::expected. C# with the work on nullability/nullable reference types, and already with nullable value types.
>My approach is to try to use my phone as little as possible

Me too.

Since the early Motorola and Sony-Ericsson smartphones, what made a smartphone smart was that it would communicate with a PC over infrared and later USB, allowing external storage (if not also removable internal memorysticks) and filehandling using the manufacturers' PC software as well as serving as a general purpose virtual modem so you could directly call in to your ISP (like AOL) from a PC using only your cellular signal.

Even on a phone which had a monochrome screen and was too weak to browse the internet or get email itself.

This is of course before "data plans" existed.

So they had not yet introduced the nomenclature of "tethering", where the former ability of the carrier's smartphones to connect over USB would after that be subject to additional charges or disavowed altogether. Before that connecting over USB was not tethering, connecting over USB was normal.

And as years went by when it arrived even the 2G location coverage remained well behind what was available previously dial uppable. Most people didn't realize good analog cellphone modems ran at about twice the 56K speed of landlines, which actually worked pretty good. Broadband wasn't really that hot back then itself, nor as ubiquitous as now.

If you went to a place where they still only had a dialup landline, your smartphone could often be twice as fast.

So if you wanted you could still get a battery-powered computer online with only a battery-powered phone just about anywhere even while 2G and 3G people were still restricted to big cities.

And no smartphone failed to have a removable battery which the user can change quickly & easily.

With Apples and touchscreeens in general people tended to accept a less-flexible and also less-cost-effective approach to electronics. With more of the anti-reuse-&-recycling approach baked in, which can truly be made to sell more electronics than superior engineering sometimes.

People do get the advantage of having a much more powerful hand-held device, but other than being hand-held it's not really enough for businesspeople who need to run traditional Windows programs anyway. For that a laptop with a SIM card slot is good.

I also find that with so many other people on their phones so much, there should theoretically be far less need for me to be on mine, so have consciously cut back to the point of insignificance by comparison.

The waste/reward ratio each year is just so much worse than what I had become accustomed to it's truly less satisfying than ever.

Plus when I'm mobile I don't want to be sporadically immobilized by too much information when I should probably be moving more steadily toward my destination instead.

The time I don't spend touching a screen could give me an unfair advantage starting my next company, or maybe even make the difference whether it would be possible or not.

Without actually trying to set an example myself, that was pointed out to some of our chemists, and before long I noticed some curtailment among them which could be a good sign of someone who could be a more worthwhile recruit in the future.

It seems so much smarter this way.

Dart is not single threaded. Dart isolates are the equivalent of threads, but they cannot share memory like threads. As anyone who works in UI knows the UI/ main thread is 1 thread (not a thread pool), because concurrent UI development hasn't been done well. https://stackoverflow.com/a/5544714/7365866

If you want to do heavy computation, you can easily call `compute()`. Dart VM manages a thread pool for that. A thread can execute multiple isolates though, its not a 1-1 mapping between threads and isolates.

IMHO, it was designed for developer productivity (not just speed of writing code), but JIT + AOT compilation to provide quick development but still fast apps for users, and as you can tell, many developers love it. An existing problem for Flutter is shader compilation jank, but this is being worked on by the Flutter team.

Read "Why did Flutter choose to use Dart?": https://flutter.dev/docs/resources/faq#why-did-flutter-choos...
Well in my circles I see more Android users being the type looking at specs and upgrading frequently. I see people buying Apple for durability, like I’m currently typing that on a 1st gen SE. Previously it was a long run with the iPhone 4S while my friends on Android had to change their at least 3 times. Sure that Xiaomi or Nexus/Pixel had great specs, too bad they broke fast or stopped receiving updates after 2 years.
> So you can bring your own tote bags and fill them as you go, then at the end just...pay?

Exactly. It's become more or less a standard option in the UK, with most larger supermarkets even offering a wall of handheld scanners that clip onto your cart if you don't want to use your phone. Still strikes me as weird, but that's probably just me getting old.

Not sure how they deal with fraud.
Have you also been able to adjust their salaries accordingly? My interpretation is that rather than saying, "don't promote internally from IC to Lead" GP is saying "here are some pitfalls with that approach" and suggests that it can work fine if you can bring their compensation up fast enough that the money isn't greener elsewhere by the time they can spin their newfound leadership experience into a job offer.

Extra responsibility/accountability/risk without corresponding compensation reads like a promotion to some folks, but to other folks it looks more like a pay cut.
Here is a rare, if potentially real use case: a university has campuses in multiple countries, maybe they have one in Europe, one in the Middle East and one in Asia. Some of their units are taught across all three campuses and have common exams. They try to hold the exam at as close as practicable to the same time, but they aren’t going to make students take it in the middle of the night - especially when students at another campus get to sit it during the daytime, that would be unfair. So they’ve scheduled it for 9am local time on 30 May 2022 - across all their operating time zones.

That said, these kind of scenarios are rare. A non-UTC datetime in an unspecified timezone is much more likely to be in some particular yet unspecified timezone, or even to be an incoherent mix of data from different time zones, than to be the one of these rare cases where having a constant local date and time across multiple time zones is actually useful.

Arguably, library designers should not attempt to cater for these rare use cases. Doing so is adding complexity which is far more often going to be a cause of harm (people using an unzoned datetime type when they shouldn’t) than a benefit

This is an outdated stereotype. Asian manufacturers have well and truly moved up the value chain and currently produce many high quality products.

> People leaving the city are those either who care about democracy or who care about economy. So I hold opposite opinion. Time will tell.

I never really understand these pro-democracy people. On the one hand, they seem wholeheartedly believe in the noble ideology. On the other hand, they seem are so timid that their only reaction under concrete threat is fleeing away.

Did they forgot how the American Forefathers fight for their independence, freedom, and democracy?

Are they really this naive that CCP are going to hand over democracy to them?

As for HK economy, CCP can make Macau prosper, I see no chance HK economy can flop. Good luck with fleeing HK and demonstrate the "pro democracy"...
The performance claim seems fishy to me.

Within a single physical system ("multi-core multi-CPU" or with NVMe) - you rarely use something like rsync, zysnc or keysync: Your files are already local, on your system. If you want a second copy of a file on the same system, you would symlink or hard-link, or use other filesystem mechanisms. It's not even clear a clean copy would be slower than doing a bunch of comparisons.

On the other hand, between remote systems, the "modern day architecture features" mostly don't apply. I suppose a more clever use of modern kernels could help performance somewhat. Maybe.
