Clojure developers are not unaware of the tradeoffs between immutable and mutable data structures. You'll see them use mutable data structures, particularly in tight loops inside functions that take immutable inputs, mutate them, and produce immutable outputs (thereby preserving the promise of immutability, while leveraging the performance of mutability internally).

You'll rarely see apps designed like this up-front though. Most of the time, the surgical mutability will come as a performance optimization pass later on.

As for the apples-to-apples part, I for one am unsurprised to see that WASM performs better than ClojureScript, particularly for an application like this.
Real-World Cryptography
Hey folks. I wrote a book on applied cryptography during the last two years and published it a few months back. It’s brand new, it’s the first crypto book with a chapter on cryptocurrencies (if that’s your thing), and it packs all the types of cryptography I had to work on during my career. It’s made to be the most approachable book for people who want to know more about crypto basics, as well as designs used by large companies at scale, think end to end encryption with the signal protocol, SSL/TLS, HSMs, and others. If you’re thinking “did we really need another cryptography book?” I wrote something for you a while back: https://www.cryptologie.net/article/504/why-im-writing-a-book-on-cryptography/

That’s it! A good book to expense for christmas if you ask me! https://www.amazon.com/Real-World-Cryptography-David-Wong/dp/1617296716
Start paying devs for being on your job board
What do you think about this idea, could it work?

Create a Job Board where you pay engineers to be on. Or pay for each message that is sent (engineers in high demand will be messaged more, and get more $$ for getting more job messages).
Values from the article:

> net profit of more than 6.3bn Danish kronor ($954m) for the first half of 2021 – an increase of 140% on the same period in 2020.

> 20,000 employees

salary * 20000 * 0.012 = $954m
=> salary = $3,975,000

I strongly suspect the average wage at Lego is NOT approaching $4M/yr.
Perhaps, but that's not in scope of this study:

Roman soldiers wore sponges imbibed with vinegar on a string around their neck, for drinking. The vinegar was added to keep the moist sponge from rotting. So most probably the correct interpretation is that the Roman soldier passed his own personal drinking bottle to Jesus.
oh yes, I didn't mean to harp on you, what I meant is that I believe a lot of executives make the same calculation, oversimplifying things in the same way which leads to the repeated QA issues both Apple and Microsoft have or to the issues that Jetbrains has. New features are exciting and are seen as ways to get new customers.

Stability and bug fixes is not sexy and I believe underestimated as a way to retain customers but it's critical to customer happiness.
XWayland does not work fine for multi-monitor setups with mixed dpi. All XWayland applications will look blurry and there is no intention to fix this for XWayland because its already considered obsolete.

Brave even in the discussion is atleast a big improvement in affairs. I couldn't name a single chromium privacy fork from 5 years ago or whenever they started.

It's also like a few clicks to turn off brave settings. It's less setup for brave than I go through on any new video game settings lol
I think you are right. It will be fun to create a queueing model for this problem. I really enjoy operations research but I have only done combinatorial modelling.
I wonder if in the future a new face will be created for every character in film or TV. New generations will think it strange that we had characters in different shows looking exactly the same because they were played by the same actor. And they'll never have to kill off a character because the actor quit.
Because that country gets rich, salaries rise, and another country outcompetes it as a cheap source of labor. This happened to GB, Germany, USA, Japan, South Korea, and will happen to China.
Absolutely, I occasionally have to buy stock photos and am shocked at how overpriced and cheesy they are. On the flip side you've got hordes of quite talented wannabe influencers putting our content for nothing. There's surely a market to be made there getting reach and money to the influencers and imagery to publishers.

And the effects. Canceled people feel victimized and then write papers an attend conferences about how they can't say anything anymore. I'm still waiting Jack Ma's papers or conference.
> Immutability is a drag if you create lots and lots of referenced state because, e.g., you want to hold on to many snapshots of past state.

Isn't it the opposite? If you want to hold on to many referenced states at the same time, an immutable data structure should provide less overhead than a mutable one, due to structural sharing.
I use Edge. It works on Windows, Linux and Android.
Interesting post indeed,

To think that google claims millions of results for each search but in reality it will only ever display a couple hundred results if you try to pursue it.

That's some very elaborate dialectics here, but you need to keep in mind that Levi wasn't a modern philosopher, he was a famous occultist and in those circles good and evil are defined very clearly, like the north and the south poles.
> Of course, the majority of investments should be "set and forget", but it's not always apparent how (especially outside US) and you need quite some research beforehand.

I really wish things like annuities or pensions were available for the 21st century economy. So many people don't want to deal with investing and understanding markets (which change!) and avoid making smart decisions.

There should be a way to just put money in a magic box that pays a little bit back each year, and every time you put money in it grows a bit more.
All this work and probably going to bastardized by Big Facial Recognition.
I would argue we don't need better facial recognition, it has no legit use cases.

Thanks for sharing!

To give you a bit of background -- I'm not trying to compete with Resolve. I'm not targeting experts, but instead targeting beginners and intermediate people when it comes to video editing. And I do offer quite a few features, and my main focus has been on speed from the get go (for instance, Instant Preview everywhere, which as far as I know is only present in Final Cut and nowhere else).

Another focus has been removing as many pain points as possible, making your workflow as fast as possible (obviously, this is always a work in progress).

And when it comes to competing, try to look at https://invideo.io/, https://animoto.com/, https://wevideo.com and so many other softwares, and compare what I'm offering to those.
I'm a software engineer trying to learn more design. My wife is a freelance brand strategist who formerly worked at a top design agency. We were both very impressed with this product!

While there are certainly imperfections, it's starting from a really great place. The two things that set it apart:

1) Start with adjectives and attribute, not colors and symbols. I was impressed that the "quiz" was useful and made me think about what I want my company to be.
2) Present the final output in the same way that a professional design studio would. Getting an auto-generated style guide deck that looks 85% as good as something most studios spend many hours (and dollars) generating manually was very manual.

That said I think the color picking algorithm needs some work. Neither of us was very happy with the color options presented. We loved the fonts though, and refining "the algorithm" is probably the easiest part.

Question for the team (if they're here): if I pay $399 for a landing page or $X for another of your assets are those all auto-generated as well or is there a human in the loop?
Nah, it's anecdotal at best. ;-)
About 15 years, although rarely since lockdown. When I started working, I noticed that the only healthy old people were the bike commuters. Other people had fitness routines by convenience, and they didn't last to old age. Bike commuting was closer to a religion. You start out just trying to get some exercise, but you find freedom and self-mastery. It's a constant set of new and deeper challenges, as you push through the breaking points of each part of both body and equipment, not because you want to, but because you have to. Fitness is no longer a goal, but a means to a higher goal - simply surviving on this planet by your own god/evolution-given power.

Thick and stiff sounds great to me. Regardless, I don't recommend jogging; I do recommend short runs building to max stride directly after completing a ride. I also like glute-ham raises and the reverse sit-ups to balance things out.
Oh man you must have some amazing stories. Any cool ones you could share?
Can't find a better source since the subreddit where I got the info is now private for some reason: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/bpr6xs/if_you_choo...

Basically Samsung TVs at least used to grab any open Wifi to connect to if you don't provide them with credentials to your own. Also there is no way to fully disable the wifi.

The solution was to set the connection to manual configuration and set all addresses to 0.0.0.0.

Of course this is not an issue if the only network your TV can see is your own, more of a problem in apartments where there might be 20 wireless networks available at any time.
As much as I hate trump, as a foreigner I fail to see how the US could look weaker than right now.

> who wrote the book on managing managers at financial institutions

I've been around and worked with people who have written books, maybe not "the" books (one of them might have been, actually) - and honestly, one of the people who wrote a book was one of the worst developers I had worked with. The other was good but extremely lazy.

The one who wrote what might have been "the" book on a topic was (in my eyes) a fraud, he was fired shortly after he was brought on to consult, along with the CEO and marketing dept which brought him in.

Is there some tool like this that you could recommend? I tried searching for one at one time for my project, assuming someone must have written something like that for the script command, but didn't seem to be able to find a reasonable one (or any? I don't recall). I ended up writing an ad hoc single use tool for gif-izing an asciinema transcript... (https://github.com/akavel/asciinema2gif)
I once followed up and the manager invited me onsite just to explain me in person that I get rejected... I took a day off for that.
That’s trope #1 right there :-)
The article is very good and the title is fine.

It's just a bit tiresome that this type of article starts to pop up now instead of being a very serious consideration from the beginning of the "end Covid" plan, the very high chance of animal reservoirs of the virus and many other issues with the current plans.
You can go to your boss for a feedback meeting, establish that everyone is happy with your work. Then, don't frame it as a problem, just take some time to describe your work process, and how it is not 8 hours of typing, but also some lateral thinking, research, and say you wonder how if it may be a bad look. You can calibrate the expectations for your future work in this meeting. Your boss is probably happy you didn't call for that meeting to quit or complain about a workplace incident or whatever and will assure you that you should proceed as you outlined.

Work is a psychologicall rich topic, related to self-worth and livelihood. The work situation could be problematic and you might sense something happening behind the scenes. Trust your feeling.

Just... be aware of the survivorship bias in these kinds of articles.

I've been planning to go solo for more than a year. I've been saving up, and working on validating my ideas on the side while still working a full day job.

Most startups/entrepreneurs fail, so plan for that eventuality. And delay quitting that day job as long as possible.

I've obviously only gotten this advice from other sources and not from personal experience, so be skeptical...

..and remember the survivorship bias in everything you read about this topic.
I advise to check out r/antiwork. Thanks for sharing your story. Good to have these once in a while.
That is so nicely put. Worthy of Ambrose Bierce himself, I reckon.
You mean through maven configuration? At the end of the day it is still a dockerfile but constructed using Maven's xml.

It's pretty good to start things moving, IMHO. Bit of WD40 at first then apply a proper lubricating oil.

I've also used it on bike chains, to clean off a lot of the old nasty before reapplication of a purpose-created lube.
I use it to clean, and then I use a lubricant after.
Consistently voting(for the same party) or consistently not voting says nobody needs to care what you think. You're safe and predictable.
true, but which one? we can't know before who will win, thanks for the idea btw
It's almost certainly part of it. I doubt that a ClojureScript application written mutably (which you can do) would compare favorably to WASM regardless.
One thing that I end up relying on fairly often as part of my day job is Hotel Mode - https://factory-reset.com/wiki/Category:Hotel_Mode - most likely it will be of use to a lot of you who just want to lock the set to one particular input and have it function as a dumb monitor.

Give me a shout if anyone needs a hand accessing it - or wants to know what some of the set specific features are.
Actually, the heat death is when all potential energy in the universe has been converted to heat. So converting an excess of stored chemical energy in their laptop battery to heat by compiling a load of Haskell would be a fine way of increasing the entropy of the Universe. Thus moving ever so slightly closer to the inevitable heat death.
I can barely read your comment as it's been down voted but two theoretical risks come to mind. One being some ML decision maker that scrapes the web to build a profile of someone and decides this person is a criminal.

The second being a human decision maker with poor English reading the headline and not fully comprehending the story.

Both cases unlikely but an interesting idea anyway.
Refining more aluminum at a lower energy cost is a societal gain.

Using more cheaper energy to hit a higher difficulty to protect the same network isn't a societal gain in the same way.

I.e. aluminum still follows the normal supply-demand curve even if it is highly sensitive to energy prices

They both suffer from the negative energy externalities, but you get something more with higher aluminum production. You get more aluminum.

The concluding sentence is the key takeaway for me.

> Unless the productive forces driving spiraling competition for diminishing social and economic resources are resolved, social atomization, cultural con­flict, and their many effects will continue, in one guise or another.

My take is that most of the apparent social problems are related to problems like economic inequality and insufficiency. And the best hope we have to improve them is actually logistical/technical. Better application of technology, such as for enhanced collaborative monitoring and reporting of resource usage and more sophisticated distribution systems (including high-tech forms of money) should make a big difference.
For my own realtime browser based ASCII projects I update the DOM “manually”: the biggest bottleneck is frequent -horizontal- changes in color as each character with a new color needs to be wrapped in its own <span> element. After all you can’t avoid a DOM repaint.

After several benchmarks I realized that the fastest way to update the entire window is to compose a string and assign it to each line/line-element via innerHTML. I usually get 60fps with 5-8k chars in fullscreen (browser text rendering has become really fast).
US going to war with China (whether it is an economic war, a classic war or a hybrid war ) is US falling into Thucydides Trap. It is one war they aren't going to win. The only winning stance would to not go to war at all.
Eventually? It is possible. You could probably make a thin wrapper to convert basic Dockerfiles into a native Nix system configuration. But running Docker images on Nix is easy and making Docker images from Nix is pretty easy so there really isn't a need to get rid of the Dockerfile itself.

Also given that a blog post posted today is already sort-of out of date [1] when it comes to Nix, it is going to take a while. (Not that it really matters for the context of this blog post).

[1] Despite being an 'experimental' feature, the future of Nix is Flakes which are most simply a function definition (inputs & outputs) with the inputs pinned via hashes.

How to select the most appropriate DB for your project?
Hi
This is the most basic question which all of us face when we design a new application. Which database to select.
What are some of the points/trade offs to consider while finalizing DB?
Also when to consider SQl vs NoSql DB?
How do you know if your application requires graph DB and what are trade offs while selecting Graph DB?
I’ve recently discovered aerosol silicon which I’ve emptied the can in a week lubricating everything around the house - drawers, toilet seat, shower door, window hinges, sliding doors to the deck. Then there’s tons of stuff in the car - door handles, hinges, rubber seals.
It's a possibility but I doubt it's a potential. They know what they're doing, so save some uncertainty occurring, they will only move forward and spend resources as signals state that it's a good decision, e.g. Starlink pre-orders and global demand. If that demand is real and Elon's projection that Starlink can support the under or poorly served bottom 3-5% then that's an estimated $30 to $50 billion annually in revenue; SpaceX expected to be a $5 billion/year business itself, at least in the near-term.

He's setting an aim for the company and is spending resources requiring a convergence to reach certain milestones. If they borrow funds and have debt or loans they must start paying back but don't have the expected revenue coming in soon enough then they could be in trouble, but in reality so long as they're inching forward then they'll be able to get loans from any number of people who believe in what they're doing - or need them to succeed for security purposes. It's important for him to state this in order to build confidence that he's aware and to give a goal to the workforce.
yeah, well - true fact:
Stripe does ton of Adult Services shit - they just hide it by farming it out through shady payment services like https://www.bankingcircle.com/ that proxy it for them so it "looks legit".
that way the various payment providers can claim legitimacy by saying "stripe is one of our biggest customers" and stripe can say "we dont do shady shit"

Deploy them into different directories and have them listen on different ports. You can configure the deployment directory when building from source and then set the port numbers in the respective “postgresql.conf” files.
That would be too bad IMO, even with animated comics like Archer, I really enjoy this kind voice cameos and just recognizing voices from other VO work or even reality - e.g. the characters Malory Archer and Len Trexler.
