Yah it seems like they're conflating high level OS'es with low level RTOS'es. Perhaps comparing their OS to a general purpose OS while doing embedded / RTOS things. Take:

> Precedence for the Hubris approach can be found in other systems like library operating systems, but there is an essential difference: Hubris is a memory-protected system, with tasks, the kernel, and drivers all in disjoint protection domains.

It's great that the drivers run in a different memory domains. Still I'm not convinced this isn't that different from many RTOS'es. Zephyr RTOS which can do memory protected tasks and defines each task's stack statically.
Wow, the slowness of Desqview BBSes is something I haven't thought about for 30 years, but yes, you are right. I remember calling into a Roboboard-based BBS that switched to Desqview and seeing the characters type out so slowly on my screen. I think the SysOp quickly moved away from it.

I ended up running OS/2 Warp when it came time to run my own BBS. :)

At my school it was worse than that. Any one "involved" in a physical altercation would be suspended. Someone could walk up and punch you and you would be suspended for it. This obviously had a chilling effect on reporting. No more bullying. Problem solved.
Been using SupaBase for a couple of months now on a side project and it’s very nice. I’ve used Firebase extensively and it’s so nice to have a similar offering using SQL for the DB layer. Good to see them sticking to the open source ethos.
Also if perhaps the marker will degrade the important bits into unreadability.
It doesn't matter at all, if you consider the risks of FBI (or FSB) accessing your chat logs. Telegram can produce your unencrypted chats to them, wether they are encrypted at rest or not.

I just don't see why they would make life harder for themselves developing stuff, given how often Durov lies. He claimed that all Telegram developers are outside of Russia, but then it turned out that they were working next floor from his old VK company office, right in Saint Petersburg.
What a lot of commenters are missing is that the premise of the question is flawed/garbage to begin with.

To infer that a self-reported psychopathy test is somehow indicative of mental disease and to further infer that this directly translates into driving style is ludicrous and doesn't pass several simple smell tests.

One commenter mentioned horsepower, and they may be onto something. Certainly a better prediction than a simple quiz, which might as well be a horoscope or something.

> Signal isn't funded by the military

Correct, it is not funded by "the military", but this is incorrect

> any branch of the USG government

Because Signal/TextSecure received considerable amounts of seed capital from Radio Free Asia which is a CIA spinoff with the explicit aim to fund the development of the cryptography at grass roots level, not per se to have full control of it like NSA would have done, but because having strong cryptography on such platforms (Telegram might be other) is highly effective against perceived US enemies like well... Iran, or Syria, and to allow their assets/agents to communicate more easily while abroad without bulky extra proprietary phones or software

All of that above is mentioned at length on Surveillance Valley btw

I have to say, speaking for Redshift, I significantly agree with the critique.

There are too many simple problems which should have been caught in testing, and the problem which have over time been found absolutely imply unprofessional, even amateurish software development standards.

For example, recently, the format of the version string was changed. This broke a lot of existing software, which had hard coded parsing - SQL Alchemy stopped working - so did AWS's own JDBC driver.

This on the face of it indicates the RS test suite does not include any connections over JDBC.

It then turned out the version string had anyway been inaccurate for months, because RS had moved from GCC 3.4.2 (I think it was) to 7.3. But the version string kept reporting the old numbers.

I can't even begin to describe how many issues - flat factual errors, and profoundly meaningful gobble-de-gook - in the official docs.

The whole thing just feels too much like amateur hour.
When you write about "blackmail", you are refering to the "Abmahnung" process - essentially a cease-and-desist letter, which can involve lawyers fees, and a contract in which you - if you sign it - pledge to pay a high amount of money if you do go back to your infringing ways. If you do not sign, they will consider suing you.

It is meant to prevent preventable lawsuits (which would be a lot more expensive), but has been weaponised by lawyer firms specialising in copyright enforcement. After a few of these law firms were countersued for inconsistent claims, the law about Abmahnungen was tightened a bit.

I have yet to see an Abmahnung benefitting the GEMA. Law firms usually work for studios.

If we were talking about Clojure, I would agree that 50x would indicate that something is off. But since we're talking ClojureSCRIPT, it doesn't surprise me.

Although, fair enough, it's a rewrite, and the author has the benefit of experience with the first implementation when writing this one. A second implementation in ClojureScript would likely have been faster than the first one. But 50x faster? Unlikely.

Just as a data point that the author isn't the only one to see this type of performance increase.

I expect that it isn't 50x across the board over JS, but that it would vary wildly across the board, including being slower if you're doing something trivial and end up paying more in serialisation to and from WASM than you gain in speed.

This would be the usual rent seek if news publishers had to pay and would also consolidate the richest media houses. Not really a good idea for anyone aside from Twitter of course.
In the dim and distant past of my Dad's youth, it was expected that you'd join a company in your late teens / early twenties, and that company would train you in the skills you needed, pay you a living wage to do your job (enough to raise a family on without another income), and employ you for your entire life, eventually paying you a salary-linked pension until you died. If the company did badly, then it was still obligated to continue employing everyone, and in return the employees were obligated to remain with the company, being "company men", putting the company near the top of their personal priorities. Career advancement meant getting a promotion within the company. If you didn't manage to get promoted, then you stayed in your job, possibly for decades, until you could retire.

Then somewhere in the 70's, that changed, and companies no longer considered themselves obligated to look after their employees (at least in the UK, this was an age of massive strikes, and labour relations at a terrible low). Then in the 80's, the Yuppies took control of their careers and the modern idea of a self-made career where you hop from job to job within the same industry became popular.

I'm old enough to have had the old ideas of loyalty taught to me in school, only to then discover that the world had changed and loyalty was an outdated concept. I'm kinda glad - I would not make a good "company man". But for many it was depressing and strange, and I know a few people who were sacked in mid-career and had no idea how to continue.

Mercedes-Benz probably still has a reputation that it's a luxury car for people who like it, and while BMW and Audi also target this market, most of their market is people looking for performance, i.e. speed.

Stereotypically, Merc buyers won't brag about their 0-60 times, while BMW/Audi buyers would. Merc has been trying to target that market though, e.g. with their A class (beginning from the 3rd gen, the 1st and 2nd gen were probably targetting old ladies...).
This is a good example of why I roll my eyes at most programming language discussions. There is always someone that starts the "language X is SLOW" bandwagon, and people hop on.

Languages are rarely "slow" or "fast" by themselves. Programs written in those languages can be slow or fast.

Your experience and perspective on life is not universal and I wouldn't be so quick to generalize. I've had the luck of travelling a fair bit in my life and I would say hugging is common in many cultures, family ties or not. For context I'm not from North America.

I always found lack of participation from the Chinese community in large free software projects like Gnome jarring: translations would just show up, but you wouldn't see them complaining about bad/hard to translate strings and similar.

There is either a linguistic or a cultural divide, but I don't see how government policy can change that.

Maybe it's just the fact that free software is portrayed as "communist" by detractors, and they've got enough of it at home :)

>I would bet 95% of the human beings never hugs except between lovers or parents and their kids.

And you'd be wrong. Hugging might not be big in your parts, but is a part of many cultures all around the world. Hardly a 5% rarity.

>Hugs between stars at international movie festivals do not reflect real people's life.

Nor do norms in a few countries.

I've travelled extensively, and I not sure where you got the idea that hugs are something only/mainly happening "between stars at international movie festivals".

From what I see "In traditional Chinese culture, hugging is not acceptable, particularly between people of the opposite sex. As Yang Chunmei, a professor at Qufu Normal University, has written, "public displays of affection are a source of embarrassment." Even among spouses, hugging, kissing, or holding hands in public is odd.".

But that's not universal. And even in China it apparently changes, if we're to believe this article:

https://sinosphere.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/05/07/more-hugs-pl...
JCP is not a mainstream party.
True, and I think Quarterdeck (and Pharlap, Rational, etc.) developed the VCPI specification that allowed those DOS extenders to work cooperatively. Some of the early DOS extenders took over the entire machine and did not allow that.
With facial detection and one observer, we could orient our projection as the viewing angle changes. It wouldn’t be true invisibility, but maybe at best a Predator-style fuzzy cloak?
This works for very narrow FOVs, though.

E.g. a stealth aircraft can absorb the radar signal, analyze its direction (using a phased antenna array) and send back a "reflection from earth" with a proper delay. This renders the aircraft effectively invisible to the radar, provided that the covering of the aircraft indeed does not reflect much back.
The data is all over the place. There's this peer reviewed study stated:

> "By analyzing viral loads of over 16,000 infections during the current, Delta-variant-dominated pandemic wave in Israel, we found that BTIs in recently fully vaccinated individuals have lower viral loads than infections in unvaccinated individuals. However, this effect starts to decline 2 months after vacci- nation and ultimately vanishes 6 months or longer after vac- cination. Notably, we found that the effect of BNT162b2 on reducing BTI viral loads is restored after a booster dose. These results suggest that BNT162b2 might decrease the infectious- ness of BTIs even with the Delta variant, and that, although this protective effect declines with time, it can be restored, at least temporarily, with a third, booster, vaccine dose."

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01575-4.pdf

However, we also know that the viral loads are also very high in elders, in the obese, comorbidity as well as males. The drop in effectiveness happens the fastest in males, elderly and those with comorbidities.

Also expecting everyone to keep getting boosters every 2-6 months (Canada is allowing after 2 months) is entirely unreasonable.

There's other studies which found same viral loads in vaccinated vs unvaccinated even in mild cases (though it's not clear after what period did they perform the study).

Highly vaccinated Dane County in Wisconsin, US found no difference in viral loads when comparing unvaccinated to vaccinated infections, the viral load was consistent with the ability to shed infectious viruses.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.31.21261387v...

Similarly, data from 36 Wisconsin counties found that both vaccinated and unvaccinated can transmit the infection. Infectious virus is found even in vaccinated when specimen Ct values are low, meaning mild cases in vaccinated individuals can spread the virus too.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.31.21261387v...

Houston Methodist Hospital of Texas also found similar viral loads and low Ct values in vaccinated vs unvaccinated infections.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.19.21260808v...

Similar finding in Massachusetts:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm

Overall, there's no logical reasoning to not allow tests as a reasonable accommodation and not testing both vaccinated and unvaccinated if the goal is to prevent the spread of COVID.

Also these minute differences in viral loads for maybe 1 to 2 months after inoculation won't be sufficient to justify discrimination based on perceived disability.
It would be nice to see some standard deviations reported here! Nominal p-values would be a start too. Since N = 2000 it wouldn’t be hard to find atleast a few interesting findings. Although the bias from study design would make it hard to know if we can believe the outcomes.
AWS hype everything.

What they emit is the dance routine of a sugar coated cheerleader squad.

I am of the view everything which is not a strength is obfuscated.

I have zero faith, confidence and trust is all information AWS emits.

I approach press releases and the docs on the basis that they cover up the actual implementation, and so my task is to find out what is actually going on under the hood, so I can actually make sense of what's been provided and operate it correctly (or avoid it completely, as it may be!)
We have a certification system for every skill in Australia. Are you a Probation and Parole officer? A preschool worker? An ambulance worker? Working in the food industry selling cheese? You will need a certificate for these skills. Have you been doing the job for 20 years? Sorry.

From about 2002, Australian Quality Training Framework (now reorganised as the Australian Quality Framework) deemed you unable to continue working in your area of expertise and demanded you get certification. Outward Bound instructors with 20 years experience would suddenly find that a neophyte with a certificate was deemed able to direct dangerous rock climbing experiences, while they could only look on in dread.

Certification was a turf fight between different bureaucracies: State versus Federal. Of course, the Federal Government won the battle, as they controlled the purse strings. University qualifications and technical college qualifications, all provided by state institutions, were ignored. A plumber had no need to sit a technical college exam. A federally-approved privately-run Registered Training Organisation (RTO) could provide you with the appropriate certification. It was all too easy. Hand over the money and take the certification test. The hack for a fork lift driver's certificate was to turn over the test paper: the answers were written on the back!

It should have been a national scandal. But, of course, we Aussies are too compliant. And in the end, the federal bureaucrats expanded their empires. I seem angry. And yes I am. Worthless paper certification is hiding the risks being taken with Australia’s future.
Ha! You underestimate the value of our beautiful women!
I've not yet investigated AQUA, but it's absolutely on the list.

The idea that is handles some SQL functionality with additional parallelism seems fine, but then I read that if a query uses any AQUA functionality, it's something like the entire query runs in AQUA, and that seems to me to be potentially a problem.

I'm very curious to start investigating, but there's a list of higher priority matters to investigate.

It's actually even tougher than just certification issues. High-Q filters tend to impact timing. Timing is what is being used to calculate distance above ground. It's not even just as simple as adding the filter, you have to find a way to do so that won't impact the signal timing.

(disclaimer: not feeling totally authoritative on this, have not used graphql in production).

i feel that the choice between postgrest & postgraphile / another graphql solution revolves around whether you're a front-end dev who doesn't get to arbitrarily change/expose data schema. if this is true, and you are collaborating with other devs on the code then the added flexibility in querying probably outweighs the inferred complexity of this complex data abstraction.

if, however, you control both back and front-end, graphql isn't really needed, as you can expose whatever views you fancy by means of SQL (via views, table/row permissions, rpc functions exposed by postgrest, etc)
