This is not correct, it is not necessary to specify a maximum memory size.
See the WebAssembly specification https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/syntax/modules.html#.... Due to 32-bit address space, the maximum memory is limited to 4GB however.

Yes you're right about the different risk profile. I just hope most people that do not have such a risk profile are aware of this.
Considering the tools developers use in general (Visual Studio, VS Code, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Netbeans, various DB browsers, etc.), application start up time doesn't seem to be an important concern for the majority.
They passed due to lack of sufficient profit so I’m not sure you’re point.

Product storytelling doesn’t mean smokes and mirrors.

They’re buying businesses so it seems like criticizing them for caring about high profit is misplaced.
All of those points would likely be true of independent Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook. They are still huge companies, with huge budgets.

If anything, being a centralised conglomerate makes them less stable, less secure. And with less competition, they actually become more wasteful.
I think this is old news, there was as court case back in May by Facebook lost appealing the decision. https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/14/facebook_giphy_court_...

"The acquirer may quickly take steps to consolidate its investment by removing the parts of its own business that compete with the target. If the CMA were prevented from making orders that impinged on the acquirer's existing business, divestiture at the end of a relatively lengthy process would, by itself, be incapable of either restoring the status quo at the time of the merger or protecting competition in the relevant market."

It looks like the CMA have the right to roll things back as if the merger never took place to the detriment of the acquirer (Facebook). Its likey Giphy won't suffer any losses, rather Facebook will be forced to compensate it, prehaps the plan all along for the VCs :P
Many non-passive house buildings have 0.4ACH or more without mechanical ventilation. The purpose of an MVHR is to provide similar trickle rates of ventilation without the high energy cost, but the goal of "opening a window" is to provide much higher airflow rates, in which case the cost would be much higher with mechanical ventilation.

It looks like 3-6ACH[1] or more is desirable to control the spread of infection. This would require very expensive MVHR systems to be installed. Realistically much larger units, probably more than one unit, as well as large ducting would need to be installed.

Such high flow rates would come with other problems: These flow rates would lead to unacceptably dry interior environments with typical heat exchangers, though there exist heat exchangers that retain some moisture. Higher flow rates also achieve lower heat exchanger efficiencies, and the power required to move the air would not be insignificant either.

Kinda funny that if I move the ball out of the water slowly, it generates a lot of waves, but if I shoot it in the water or out, it's just a small wave. A few times I was able to yank the ball in or out with no trace at all—though that can perhaps be chalked up to the cursor moving too fast to register the intermediate positions.
Meta/FB has a legal presence in the UK and offers services in the UK. It needs to operate according to UK Law.

In practice, I don't know what the reality of this will mean. Does Giphy continue to operate as a separate company in the UK then? How's that going to work?

I can also recommend https://game-icons.net. As the name suggests, it mostly focuses on icons for games, but I find a lot of them are also usefull for other purposes. Most importantly they have a consistent style, so your stuff looks less like you've thrown-together art from 19 different sources.
The IntelliJ vim plugin has over 11 million downloads.

Yep. Honestly, if Jetbrains made a perfect clone of VSCode, but with all the language support and plugins I use remade in high quality, I'd be happy to pay for it.
I was reporting a lot of bugs to them initially, but so many of them were ignored that I can’t force myself to do this anymore.

I’m still paying for IDEA Ultimate, but it's only because I’m waiting for a better IDE with a more fair subscription system (when I cancel the subscription that was at least 1 year long, I should have the LATEST version I’ve paid for, not the first one). I will try Feet, of course, but I have no high hopes nor trust for JB.

Same. Similarly, since VS Code is the obvious comparison here, I really hope they're planning to open source the basic version of this once it's out of beta. I could really see myself using this if it manages to be both open source and actually lightweight and not a 300+ MB blob.

I understand and I had a similar understanding with your earlier comment. I still disagree with: "The thing about MMOs is that the ideal user uses all the features". This seems not a property of MMOs, this seems just a way of working with MMOs.
Why not open source it?
Which Facebook monopoly are you referencing? None of their businesses seem to be a monopoly.

They would have to find a suitable buyer, and presumably if Giphy has been gutted then it's worth considerably less than Meta paid.
Nobody except Meta and the advertisers looks at this situation like that. It's quite obvious what parent meant.
Sorry for hijacking this question but I thought this might be a chance to push a bit the attention to some of the bugs I reported, as it would be nice to have them fixed.

I don't want to sound too negative here though. In general, I'm very happy with IntelliJ, and I think it's currently the best available IDE for many languages (I care mostly about Python and PyCharm currently).
I would love to see a version of this which can run on an iPad. Combined with the Magic Keyboard and it would make a nice code environment in conjunction with a server, or a cloud instance.

Bring outside or reintroduce in the earth

I can figure out a lot of reasons to want rescue dogs in Mars. Much faster finding people in unstable terrain than a robot. And also useful for quick detection of fires and gas leaks. Or having pets. Life is much better with them.

Using the wild species would be more useful for the genetics, but assuring that some of the genetic preserved is from the same bread as Laika would be nice, as a sort of apology from humans to wolves, the animal that has saved more human lives in the planet apart of us. If we want to conquer the space to survive, to leave behind this (and other) creatures would be a really miserable move.
Fair enough. On the client (just opening dev tools) it would return the string, but as you say, it depends on what we count as valid (repl, server-side, client). Probably the closest would be

Giphy's business model has nothing to do with GIFs, they are just a front really - its all about advertising and user tracking, essentially the same as FaceBook. All those shared gifs are tracked and used to target advertisments with.

> If they did that, then why would anyone buy IntelliJ?

I think the general idea is that it's a lightweight editor(like vscode) that stays lightweight with as many features as it can from IntelliJ. If you work on decently sized project you'll still want to use full IDE. If you want to force yourself to work on a big project with vscode, nothing is stopping you. But would you realistically switch from IntelliJ to vscode? Probably not, even though it technically supports (almost?) everything you need.

In my case f.e. I'll continue to work using Rider, but I'd like to be able to open some minor html/js/other projects(like our Azure B2C Templates, or my Azure DevOps extension project which is mostly powershell) in something smaller. Currently I can do that using vscode, but I'm not a big fan of vscode itself so it's usually just annoying.
I'm speculating, but based on friends who work in this industry the apps are put into maintenance mode, with one hired/contract developer in charge of two or three apps — assuming it's a SaaS app that doesn't need a team.

If the product is still on a growth trajectory or needs a specialised team I think it's a very case-to-case basis. Cost cutting is one tool in the toolbox, and it's usually only used when the owner thinks the product is already dying and wants to squeeze value out of it. From what Tiny says they might not be buying products like that.

That said, I feel like the Baremetrics emails started getting a little more spammy and frequent once they were bought, but I might be mistaken, it was a while ago. It's possible there's a growth hacking team that Tiny has that takes over all the products.

I absolutely agree with the statement above, but there is context that I think is worth discussing (maybe in part because I can't internalise it properly :P)

I think for older collectors, it was due in large part to a very weird shift in recent years, epitomised by THAT copy of Super Mario Bros selling for so much.

Traditionally, high priced games were what you described, a combination of rare, desired (maybe not so much for play reasons) and condition. Examples of this were Stadium Events, NES Championships and to a much lesser degree Uforia (which was released only in certain PAL markets)

But the SMB copy was weird. It went to outlandish lengths to justify its "rarity". Sticker sealed with hanging tab not punched out. But other than those relatively minor factors (Opinion, I know), it was entirely unspectacular. Worse still it was an example of a highly published and distributed game, it is somewhat easy to obtain a decent condition boxed copy of SMB for a good (Sub $100) price and (at a guess) to get GREAT condition, it probably wouldn't have gone for much more than $200, just due to the commonality of it.

Game collectors struggled with this paradigmatic shift moment and how to internalise it, most of us (myself included) were somewhat worried it was the sign of non-collector money coming to drive up the prices massively. This happened recently with Pokemon cards to such an extent that Target in the U.S stopped stocking them because man-babies were fighting over it.

I can understand where the author is coming from in the piece. When taken in to account everything, it is functionally wrong, but if you scope it down to people who collect for collecting sake, then it holds true but its a denial of existence to a second segment of people that now exist in game collecting (For better or worse depending on what side of the sale you're on). But it is also fantastically reductionist even for a collector to make that statement. Age isn't the single factor that makes a game's desirability go up. As you've correctly pointed out, Rarity, conditional and personal desirability. (I recently really REALLY wanted a copy of Faxanadu, nothing special, but I paid more than most probably would of because of that).

But its really hard to properly contextualize what happened since the moment that copy of SMB sold for so much. It's not really well understood or even finished having its impact on collecting.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-256708

- Regression: Markdown preview vertical sync does not work anymore

- Makes editing long documentation files a pain, I have to use an external markdown editor now

- First reported 12 months ago

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-282427

- Regression: Git actions don't work anymore when looking at the file diff window

- Breaks my reviewing workflow, I have to use an older version of IntelliJ (which of course has its own problems)

- First reported 3 months ago

Missing / incomplete features is one thing (hello Scala 3 support), but leaving regressions unfixed for so long is breaking the fundamental trust that users have in your product – the ability to rely on the basic functionality that already exists.

The ironic thing is Australia really only got it when their zero COVID policies weren't taken seriously enough by its weakest actor who was more into "opening up". For people who don't know Australian politics it was the NSW state.

They avoided COVID delta for months (6+) despite locking all incoming arrivals in shared air hotel quarantine systems and workers coming into the quarantine zone day in and day out (i.e. not taking quarantine seriously quarantine). Some Australian states who had better border control policies were able to keep COVID out indefinitely (e.g. WA, QLD, TAS, SA, etc).

Knowing some people who live in WA, despite overseas travel restrictions, life is pretty much pre-2019. Clubs are open, schools are running, no masks, nothing. They are thankful for zero COVID policies - the biggest one being border control and for some areas dedicated, but well resourced, quarantine facilities (NT). Only recently did NT get cases, and it didn't come internationally, but from the NSW outbreak. It's a concern since the indigenous population there typically have less health facilities.

Of course it is much easier to do this in Australia than the US or UK for a variety of reasons. Europe definitely can't do this IMO - land borders aren't strong enough.
Ugh. So they'll block this but the government allows the likes of private equity to buy companies who will then assert strip or load up the target with debt.
I don't see why they won't go the freemium route with Fleet. You can see it in IntelliJ already - CE is more than good enough for almost everything you want to do, but if you want tighter integration with Spring or other web frameworks, you can spring (pun intended) for Ultimate. Fleet could be like that - everything is baseline "good" with a bunch of first-party paid extensions that add a bunch of powerful capabilities - sort of like ReSharper for VS.
One can always set up a VPN into their home, or make their server public. It's not for the faint of heart, though.

I didn’t know the creators themselves are setting the ads.

Yes, I would take quality content with unskippable ads that bookend what I want to watch or listen to, vs what appears to be random sometimes. Or just companies sponsoring the creators. I suppose I’m used to the old TV and radio model.

YouTube as it stands just recommends garbage. And everything has garbage click bait titles. The fact that the quality is so poor doesn’t make me want to pay for anything.

To be fair, Wayland is still new (compared to how long Java has existed), and Java/OpenJDK may improve support in the future.
Google translate from a dev vacancy:

You will be surprised, but we decided to create a new IDE from scratch and put together a bold team with a proven success track in creating tools inside JB. And right now we have a prototype and a bunch of bicycles.

Our program consists of several parts that communicate with each other over the network.

The first part is an editor that is written in a new cross-platform UI framework. When we made this framework, we were inspired by React.js and Swift UI.

The second part is a small program written in Rust that tells about the arrangement of files on disk and starts processes. File watcher, process monitor and HTTP client in one binary.

The third part is a server that analyzes the source code of the project. It can be IntelliJ, ReSharper, or LSP server.

This architecture adds flexibility: if you run all the parts on one computer, you get a classic IDE. And if on different machines, it will be convenient to work in the cloud or in a container.
The program isn't even publicly available yet. How can you conclude that it provides little over VS Code?

And why does it matter that it's not open source?
Briefly: no, it's a custom reactive UI framework similar to Jetpack Compose. Rust is used for native operations such as accessing file system, launching processes, etc
>But would you realistically switch from IntelliJ to vscode?

No, of course not. VSCode's support for Java is a hot mess, and that doesn't look to be changing any time soon.

But would I switch from PyCharm to VSCode? I made that exact switch at work a little while ago and I haven't looked back.
The argument’s about societal wastefulness, not FB’s business acumen.

I.e. It’s nontrivial to be more wasteful than it would be to have multiple teams duplicating the same product.

(Strong disagree on your suggestion that the centralisation generally makes them less stable/secure, but granted on the tail risks.)
Most of those places are already very well ventilated. You’re not catching covid in the train station, you’re catching it while sharing 1m² with 4 other people on the train. Or because you’re in a crowded restaurant and you’re between the air extract point and the person on the table next to you who has covid. I can’t see how it would be different if the air circulation is because of open windows or mechanical ventilation in these situations.

Most high rise offices since the 50/60’s will have a mechanical ventilation system of some kind already but it may be quite energy inefficient. Any building with an existing air con system is already doing much more air changes than a building without ducted air. Offices need these systems for active cooling and heat rejection for fairly large parts of the year because the concentration of people and computers inside tends to overheat the building.

Hotels are an interesting one, I’m not an expert on hotel design but it’s possible that some hotels use positive pressure ventilation to supply air to the rooms and passive extraction through the en-suite bathrooms. In that case when you open the room door you let a blob of Covid air out into the corridor? But the corridor should probably also be at positive pressure to stop smoke from a fire in a room from blocking the escape route. Not sure about this one.

I would hypothesise that people mostly catch covid in Pubs, Clubs, Restaurants, Schools, each other’s houses and other specific hard to solve confined situations where we can’t avoid breathing each other’s exhaled air like lift cars and underground trains. If money were to be spent retrofitting heat recovery ventilation anywhere. Schools would be the best place to start.
This isn't true. Most MVHRs have a summer bypass mode in which they admit the exterior air without retaining any interior heat, but they do not cool the air entering the house.
> Again, they give you the options: subscription model or ad-based model.

They offer those options, but the fact remains that there is a third option: ad-free no-subscription model.

As a user of the ad-free no-subscription model, I give them two options: internalise the costs of people taking the third option, or spend time and resources trying to make the third option technically impossible.
Awesome, looking forward to it. I hope Clojure/Scala wind up getting supported in the future, I'd love to try it out :) Keep up the good work!
