I was a fan of async code 10 years ago, but now I'm getting more and more a believer that all those coroutine/fiber/etc models "do not spark joy". It's not just the C++ version.

One thing which usually happens is that engineers get overwhelmed with 2 threading models: They might already have a hard time to understand how normal threading works, and coroutines add another dimension on top of that. That's a non-issue for the engineers working on the proposals and some of the affected libraries since they are domain experts, but the minority of implementors of an API server or users of a HTTP client are actually IO experts.

The second thing which usually happens is that a couple of ecosystems start to exist on top of the foundations which are incompatible with another. So you no longer write code in C++, Rust, Python, Java etc. You are writing code in asio, tokio, asyncio or netty. While most of these e.g. have some interoperability or can coexist with other async runtimes running on different threads it's also not something easy.

And last but not least every one of the implementations has another set of limitations that one or the other person will be unhappy about. Whether its additional heap allocations, mandatory synchronization, lazy vs immediate execution, cancellation behaviors, etc.

All in all coroutines seem good tools to make reaching performance goals in a way that's a bit more pleasant compared to what we had 10 years ago (callbacks), but they always seem to be a compromise.

I'm wondering whether at some point we will see an uptake on fixing the shortcomings of plain threads to avoid having to reach out for coroutines and a decline in those. But security challenges and mitigations make it continuously harder to decrease system call overhead.

GSP! Generalized Second-Price Auction. It's a method of ad pricing famously used by Google where bids are sorted in a list and each winner pays the bid of the next highest bid. This is easy to implement, and for one slot and one auction, it's an "optimal" VCG auction.

The mysticism around GSP (generalized second-price auction) for ads is absurd. In twenty years, for “p(click)*bid”, the p(click) factor has advanced from a simple ratio to huge neural networks. But bids? “Sort and take the second price.” "Somebody once won a Nobel Prize." Long story short, GSP doesn't have many useful properties in practice except that it's easy to implement and compute and it's a "standard."

Major problems with GSP are:
1) Useful economic properties depend on non-repeated, "stable" auctions of 1D ordered lists, which doesn't describe most modern media.
2) GSP gets mixed with a "complementary bid" to control for user quality, which also complicates any theoretical properties
3) It's still complicated to understand and requires layers of control systems.

We originally started as “Algorithmic Auctions” to solve ad auctions fairly, but we didn't find a market for this.

You're missing the point... completely. Until unethical behavior doesn't pay dividends, people will engage in that unethical behavior. Ostracizing them to any degree less than the sex offender list offers fails at 'making it not pay dividends'.

Snide comments are useless, and posting a snide comment in response to a post literally saying that snide comments are useless is hilarious and ironic.
Interesting to read this with an eye on the authors' mindset. Their understanding of stablecoins seems largely centered on Tether (and to a lesser extent, BUSD/USDC). A lot of their understanding is incorrect when applied to algorithmic stablecoins like Dai, eg. there is no central issuing authority; Dai is minted in exchange for Ethereum (and other cryptocurrencies), not fiat currencies; the effect of a run on Dai is unlikely to spill over into the mainstream financial system; a "custodial wallet" in DeFi is not a company but just an Ethereum address, i.e. a hash of a public/private keypair.

Overall I get the sense that the government is still people/organization centric and cannot wrap its head around a future where reality is determined by computer code and people are bit players in the script.

I haven't experienced any of this as I've gradually aged into being a 35 year old dinosaur. The people I work or have worked with in their 20s tend to be eager to share and learn, happy to adhere to whatever office schedule exists, and not very critical of what us elderly folks do.

We usually have jokes going back and forth about our giant, unfathomable 10 year+ age gap. Maybe that's part of it though. We don't think of it as all that important or meaningful, we have fun with it, and our working conditions are pretty nice to start with so there's not much to rebel against.

Overall I'm more afraid of the older people I work with if I were to use such a word. I'm pretty tired of convention over experimentation in the work place. I don't think strictly remote is inherently better than strictly office, but I know having options is superior that not having them. My friends and family are currently at the mercy of older people with old ideas around this matter, and yeah, that's much scarier than young people with new ideas that they care about.

Generally I think you're better off listening to young people and thinking a lot about what they're up to, just as much as respecting the wisdom of older people. And of course, all that is because we as individuals are so often wrong. We can benefit a lot from those around us being right for us sometimes, old or young.

I'm somewhat confused as to why nobody ever seriously discusses geo engineering as a solution for these problems. If we could block some percentage of light from the sun hitting the earth would that not go a very long way in solving the problem?
The article mentions they hold back on SVG a bit, but with these engine changes I assume they won't have to.
I used NoMachine in the past. It works really well, it feel like Windows RDP brother without the MS name. It handles better (less slideshowy and did good with video playing in the remote devices) than VNCs I used in the past.
I recommend reading his articles to understand what I say when I said adapt. It means things like: building more levees and farming different crops or in different parts of the country or world.

Conflict over resources is always going to be a thing. But dealing with the changes to climate change is more than just how we handle limited resources.
In general, no I would not worry much about it. First don't try a lift you aren't sure you are ready for and two increment by 5# max from workout to workout.

Start light, way lighter than you think you should and work almost exclusively on form. Then each workout increase your weight by 5#s. The entire time it's critical to keep watching your form. Then as you get heavier and heavier you will be much more capable of reading your body and deciding of a weight increase is warranted.

Like others have also stated most racks come with safety straps or bars, feel free to use those, especially when you go really heavy. But if you follow the above steps you more than likely won't ever put yourself in a position where you aren't prepared for the weight you have racked.

If you want to test your 1 rep max or something then do it with a friend there to spot you. But that's not something you should be doing every workout, it's more of a once in a while thing.

You changed your question by paraphrasing. Surely, you know how the original question could be inferred to be more about the specific thing we're discussing. But I'll placate you and answer your clarified question:

Yes. I live in California and own guns, so I've already seen my state make many compromises on the most liberal (not as in 'left') interpretation of my 2nd Amendment rights. Some of the laws even result in extra fees. And no, I don't "get" my 2nd Amendment right in the same sense that people "get" that right in Texas.

Anyway, I'm not sure we're going to get through talking past each other on this topic. Voter id is clearly intended to ensure and enforce an implicit voting right that my-vote-counts-the-same-as-yours (disregarding any complaints about the Electoral College). If people cannot acknowledge that and want to pretend voting is identical to, say, speech, I'm not sure how to even continue the conversation from there.
Devils Advocate, a lot of "what the left already wants" they only already want because they have been worried about climate change for 20 years. For example protecting national parks.

But I 100% agree, that a true path forward would involve the left taking actions to fix climate change that would be more popular with the conservative crowd.

If all the coal plants we were closing, were being replaced with nuclear power in the same cities and states, there would be a lot of job protection. And that might help move things forward.

Or a call for Solar Panels on homes, with panels made in the U.S. might be a good compromise as well.
Other than hours, it isn't clear why these workplace conditions can be assumed.
It's pretty tasty. I just did one for the first time a couple weeks ago (as a test so I'd understand the process and timing a little better before Thanksgiving). I don't know if it's necessarily that much better than a good oven roasting, but I did a 14 pound turkey in 45 minutes.

The article directly mentions missiles and point out that it requires less delta V to deorbit a missile than to launch a missile on suborbital or orbital trajectories.
easier reselling things because reselling things sometimes involves regulation and by saying fuck regulation it makes it easier?

Not really the most convincing argument

also selling a, um, "Greg will lead three 90 minute sessions live over the course of the week." for 650 USD through to 6500 USD, and providing zero ownership of that while also calling it "shared ownership", well it ties in with the general perception of NFTs being near meaningless, doesn't it?

Free stuff tends to end up rather expensive eventually...

Free software might be an exception, but free hardware equipment really sounds suspicious.
That computer code runs somewhere and every IP address leads to a person eventually.
> If that’s the case, why migrate back? Especially if Oracle can change the licensing at anytime. They’ve proven themselves to be untrustworthy.

I don't think you would. I was trying to address incompatibility fears as a reason not to move off of it.
Give me a break. Most of us aren't dropping everything to go join the Peace Corps, we want to live a comfortable life, and by no coincidence, most of us work for assholes. Nearly any sufficiently old company has its share of controversies (this includes startups, they're just smaller so they're not as publicized).

I will agree that Facebook's controversies are a bit more egregious than most, but at the end of the day I don't really see how a random Facebook engineer is substantially worse than an engineer who works for Microsoft, or Apple, or Google, or Lockheed Martin, or <insert large corporation here>. People just want to make a decent living, not change the world.

However, I think there's plenty of blame you can place on the decision-makers at Facebook (most of the executive level team).
It's quite clear that both sides of the aisle gerrymander. (I was in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_28th_congressiona... when it existed; just look at that map!)

The point is, barring consequences for doing it, or a Constitutional amendment banning it, once the other side is doing it, you're fighting with one hand tied behind your back if you don't reciprocate.

It's bad, but it's largely unavoidable in the current legal setup.

Quite the opposite, with flexible time workers are available at a wider time span and can do more coordination per day.
I think it would make them illegal. As it probably should, I'm not aware of any that are not an elaborate scam.
If the US would just provide its own stable coin it would kill all other USD stable coins and there would be no more issues.

Who would want tether if you can get government backed USD stable coins?
Sure! We have a published case study for Hipcamp at https://www.promoted.ai/case-study-hipcamp . We increased their total booking rate by 7% . Other case studies are linked on our main page.
Honestly it’s nothing new. Dystopian stories about modern social media (or technology in general) gone wrong? Did I dream that Black Mirror was a thing?

Black Mirror is just an example. And the whole “social media ruined the life of this one unsuspecting person” plotline is pretty boring and on-the-nose by now.
According to that linked article, it’s because ppl believe it’ll “clean” the raw chicken making it safer (which seems insane to me unless you’re using soap.. which would be a weird thing to do with meat).

As long as you continue treating everything as if it’s still lined with bacteria, why not wash?
Except the behavior of the builtin is not the same as the behavior of the program, and Arch's base package doesn't include the which command.
Yeah, I also don't advise my clients to start new C++ projects and steer them towards either Go or Rust (most pick the former, since it's easy to learn). If I were to start a product today, I'd likely be using Rust myself, purely due to the fact that once I need to hire people the Rust compiler won't let them do stupid stuff with shared state. What Go and Rust taught me more than other languages is that there is value in _not_ providing certain capabilities, such as inheritance or (in Rust) the ability to unsafely modify shared state.
Nah. They'll remember that you paid their way through college, could afford to make their childhoods and path to "the good life" easy in general, and left them a pile of cash when you died.
I thought it was a jab at Cockroach DB
Excellent question, also synthetics. This is my big question. If you make fiat backed stable coins to onerous to manage, then everyone just moves to algorithmic stable coins.
It's certainly an interesting notion in theory, though I believe in practice it isn't all that likely either.

Before the railways every city and/or county just about was its own time zone and a lot of the historical records are in major computer timezone databases if you feel like exploring them. It's fascinating. (Including sometimes minute and second offsets from UTC; things that programmers sometimes wrongly assume aren't possible with UTC offsets.) I think it also should also be somewhat obvious pretty quickly that it is a communication nightmare for any company with a presence in multiple cities or any person travelling between cities.

I also think "Swatch beats" made it seem pretty obvious to me that no one actually wants to standardize only on a single timezone with no offsets either.
Developing an understanding of the time/temp relationship in cooking and food safety really revolutionized the way that I think about cooking and safety. Instead of a fear-based binary cooked/raw framework, I can reason about how long I need to hold an ingredient and a particular temperature to obtain both the texture I want and the level of food safety I need. It's made me a lot more relaxed about cooking.
Experience vs. Theory: Lake Tahoe Edition
I'm not sure it's really an apples to apples comparison. The big selling point of MongoDB is that it sort of just works out of the box with horizontal scaling while Postgres is much more immature in that area.

You could try running https://github.com/mongodb-labs/py-tpcc to get an estimate. However, that might not reflect how people actually use MongoDB since TPCC is focused on transactions as opposed to analytics.
Do you realize how hilarious any mention of "ethics" or "corruption" in cryptocurrency is? It's all scams. I would have more sympathy for a meth addict who got ripped off by his dealer.
Interesting to see Mastercard, Square, Stripe, FIS, Fiserv and Visa all mentioned in "Market Participants".

None of those actively today use/settle stablecoins publicly?
As long as a lack of money is able to present a serious danger to one's quality of life, health and well-being, money will always win over not having/getting money.
I suspect it isn't legal at all! But it's not as though that's stopped cryptocurrency scammers before -- and there are so many things about the cryptocurrency ecosystem that are practically designed to help them get away with it.
Leon Cooperman was quoted today as saying if people don’t follow along with billionaires they’ll deviate into unnatural behavior.

If that guy and anyone who believes the masses kowtowing to politically insulated old men LARPing Alexander the Great is natural, we’re doomed.

This is what we are now; low effort taxonomists, defending syntactic hierarchy when we know there is no center of reality.

Maybe the neuro-typicals are the real problem? The ones who have hierarchical visuals put in front of them their whole lives, who can then only repeat “this is the way”. Seems like a sure fire way to improve the probability taxes won’t go up, which exactly why Cooperman was interviewed; reiterating the hierarchy.

I really want to play Lemmings for some reason.

Borrowing from Greer’s “code the perimeter, not the area” we need a new political perimeter. Humans know the value of technology now. We don’t need old geezers to confirm what we can all see and touch for ourselves.
pathological reality hint 2:
if a character is stored in max size integer,
is the 3rd left most bit always a constant value?
This is what I wonder, since I thought what most consider stablecoins now (like Tether) are basically steppingstones towards things like Maker/ Dai, which I am unsure how they would fit into this kind of regulation.
It totally depends on the implementors, if no one implements it, it won't come. If nobody does the first implementation, no other vendor will follow - it's as easy as this.

For WebKit/SVG, features as z-index are easy to implement in the layer based SVG engine - it's currently disabled, but only because it's lacking dedicated tests: I'd still need to write new reftests covering that.

> How does this interact with the concept of algorithmic stablecoins? Not every stablecoin is simply backed by deposits.

Relegated to a footnote (just like Jeffery Snider at Alhambra Partners talks a lot of the typical chatter by frbny et al wrt the (euro)dollar system gets relegated to footnotes and nick named the phenomena "footnote dollars") on page 4:

"Stablecoins that are purportedly convertible for an underlying fiat currency are distinct from a smaller subset of stablecoin arrangements that use other means to attempt to stabilize the price of the instrument (sometimes referred to as “synthetic” or “algorithmic” stablecoins) or are convertible for other assets. Because of their more widespread adoption, this discussion focuses on stablecoins that are convertible for fiat currency."

i.e we'll pretend that people cant swap dollar denominated non centralized corporate issued stablecoins for any kind of fiat at the floating rate of the denomination of the stablecoins underlying to the fiat in typical fx markets (also ignoring that higher amount of those other stable coins are being used in defi protocols relative to their supply than the centralized ones).

So of course, those like FEI, FRAX and others will get ignored.
Now I'm curios who you are :-)
