I have never experienced input lag on a iPhone, other than perhaps a context where the input is traversing across an Internet connection.

And I assure you that a C64 with a 300 baud modem had that issue, too.
> and no recourse if they falsely accuse you

Of course there is. The judicial system.

(Although, to be clear. I don't live in America and I might be more worried about this if I did.)
Yeah, this. In 1995, about the only mainstream language with generics was C++ with templates. (Same in 2000 when C# was released, incidentally)

When Go came out in 2009, though, Java and C# had pushed generics into the mainstream. Additionally, they'd shown some of the problems with trying to retrofit generics onto a language and ecosystem that didn't previously support them.
I imagine the industry will settle on H/1.1 for backward compatibility and simplicity, and H/3 for performance.
What have you switched to now?
You could ship a mechanism that scans your documents but doesn't report anything.

Or do something equally pointless, but just as signally.

I feel like so many of these unstoppable force meets immovable wall situations warp both functionality and discourse (on all sides) on said functionality.

This comes about because everything is getting so centralized. The government wants to be in everything, and Apple (stand in for all big tech) does too. This pits them against each other, with the consumer only acknowledged when there is vast consumer agreement and motivation.

Similar to App Store, Apple wants total control, then governments use Apple's control to cut of access to particular apps. Consumers that understand the severe loss of freedom this creates (for them and developers) both immediate and in lost innovation don't like it. But there isn't a huge consumer uproar on that one ... so freedom wilts.

Bundling these basic features (cloud backups, app stores) with operating systems is creating an unholy government/platform axis that wins every time consumers are unable to drum up the motivation to speak as coherent allies pushing back.
Oh I didn’t know that worked on the official server binary. I remember having to use the mineshafter client and having to play on cracked servers ~12 years ago when I had no way to pay for stuff as a kid. I also tried running a cracked server at home, but banned users could find new IPs faster than I could ban them :(

I guess this is still viable if you know everyone on the server and use a server plugin to auth.

> Projections into the future. Per Wright's Law, driving down production costs, the marginal costs (?) of batteries will approach material costs. So what is that point and when will it happen?

Batteries are price takers for materials such as iron, but for materials such as lithium, they are price setters. The price of lithium follows the same Wright's law curve as batteries do. Lithium is quite common, so its price decreases as quantities increase due to Wright's law. And batteries consume most of the world's lithium, so the lithium demand follow battery demand.

Yes, for Option the default value is quite obvious. I'm talking about Result, because it's the second best-known sum type, and it doesn't have an obvious default value.
I think these choices are more context specific than is often appreciated. For example

> if I have measurements [A: 100, B: 101, C: 105], and then scale the axes to "fit around" the data (maybe from 100 to 106 on thy y axis), it will seem like C is 5x larger than B. In reality, it's only 1.05x larger.

If you were interested in the absolute difference between the values then starting your axis at 0 is going to make it hard to read.

It’s long known that poverty in itself doesn’t cause crime. I also was on the bottom rungs when I was very young.

Poverty next to wealth does. Suddenly that poor but adequate lifestyle isn’t enough when the guy down the street is driving a Porsche.

We are in a pretty extreme wealth gap and we celebrate wealth too much. On top of that, people confuse being soft on crime with helping the poor. Poor people don’t break into cars to eat. Criminals break into cars.

My understanding, from experience of finding similar footprints on other hardware, was that this footprint is there for testing in the factory and not actually intended to be a u.FL footprint for an external antenna.

I think the first time I saw it was on a GL.iNet mini router which I wanted to add an external antenna to. It's possible, but you have to cut the trace to the on-board antenna.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?
With the Compute Modules, Raspberry Pi wanted to enter industrial/professional markets.

However, in these markets, availability on short notice is a fundamental requirement. The CMs appear mostly unobtainable, and it's not clear that the Pi foundation will culturally be able to remedy this in the long term ; their strength is elsewhere.

> "Bloat is generally due to incompetence"

What utter arrogance. Developers are more often than not driven by time constraints and demands from higher up the food chain. What you call "bloat" is often not just the easier solution, but the only one.

Of course, "bloat" can come from neglecting the non-bloatiness. But to call this mainly a function of competence is in my opinion misguided.

There's something to holding a child.

I look at Israel as an example. The ultra orthodox have exploded as a percentage of the population and together with conservative Jewry have completely dominated secular Israel- it's clear that demographic trends (if they continue as they have for 70 years) mean that fundamentalist religious perspectives will dominate Israeli culture and life for the foreseeable future. Similarly the Amish and Mormons are quietly taking over vast territories. I think it can be said that only moderate forms of religion are at risk of extinction.
Is there any comprehensive article that covers what log4j is and just what happened that is so critical that seems to have set the entire world on fire? Disclaimer: I have never heard of or used log4j before in my life.
I think the idea is that you might only have about a second to kill the device. Yes, you can throw your computer in a bathtub of saltwater or whatever but that's not really the point.
Also, TODAY type checking (and more important, how Types are used) is not the same than YESTERDAY types usage.

Java, C++ and similar are terrible benchmark for it. Before, types were almost for do taxonomy, with limited help to actually write CORRECT code, and more important, MODELING the domain was very verbose and with limited advantages!.

Against that, no static types makes more sense. With o without the end result, result-wise was kinda the same, only that without you remove a lot of noise on the codebase.

Only after a bit of the ML/oCalm/Haskell/etc type-system get in, and NULL removal becomes truly feasible, and some of the failures of error-prone software and how WRONG JS,C++ and for some extend, Java become more and more evident, then modern static types start to leverage a greater return of investment.

It also come together with other improvements in tooling (that make more enjoyable type inference on IDEs, for example), composability, iterators/generators, etc and you get a very nice toolset.

This is where everyone is converging, in some way or another.
Making an absolute was overstating my case. In the good faith scenario, the other person does appreciate you as you are. Not so worth it to burn that relationship. Probably wise to make a mental note not to ask them for advice, assuming your goal was for more than being accepted by the person you just asked for advice.
The one about using print/console.log/whatever lol.

I've always done this, never have I used a library for this, because:

- running manually? >myapp.log 2>&1
- using systemd? use journalctl
- using docker/kubernetes? capture automatically the stdout/stderr of your containers and pipe them through logstash or something

Real question: why would an application need to know where its logs go? This is not in the business perimeter, but the ops perimeter. Am I wrong?

EDIT:

Most responses are about configuring logging level, output format, etc... This can be done with a print-based approach without sending a request to an external service (which would need to trust you and your inputs).

Example: Python's default logging module.

Still, thank you for your insightful answers :)
Diabetics and older people are strongly advised to take it. That surely helped cementing the "it's a flu" when most of the deaths are old people. Also, we don't have many flu-related deaths because it either turns into emphyzema or other pulmonary complications which are the cause of death. Or the vaccine did its job.

To be more precise, it pays people for their differentiated contribution to the economy. If there’s no one to open the office doors in the morning, productivity is 0.

> The 0-RTT feature in QUIC allows a client to send application data before the handshake is complete. This is made possible by reusing negotiated parameters from a previous connection. To enable this, 0-RTT depends on the client remembering critical parameters and providing the server with a TLS session ticket that allows the server to recover the same information.

Am I missing something, or is this yet another way to track clients across visits? If so, I'm sure Chrome will be faster than Firefox (because it will keep the sessions IDs live forever). Well played, Google.

Smart VC match for startups raising seed/Series A/B/C rounds (38K funds)
We've built an algorithm that analyses historical data of 38,000 VC funds and suggests relevant investors for startups (seed, round A, B and C).

We use an innovative approach, scoring instead of filtering. You only need to fill in the questionnaire. We will search among 300,000+ deals in the database to find the funds investing in startups like yours. The funds are given points each time there's a match with your questionnaire.

What you can do with us:
1. get a list of relevant VC investors completely for free
2. save the funds you like to favorites to check them out later and compare
3. get a list of all available decision makers in the funds
4. see contact details of relevant decision makers (GDPR doesn’t allow sharing emails publicly but we can give you email formation rules that you can turn easily into actual emails)
5. send chosen funds to our email outreach system to start a fundraising-optimized email campaign
Actually, a lot less. HTTP/2 frames are done as a binary protocol with fixed offsets, and instead of having three different transfer modes (chunked, keep-alive, and one-shot), HTTP/2 has only its version of chunked.

The issue is the same in reverse. I've heard horrible anecdotes by male friends in female dominated industries such as teaching, nursing, etc. Why is the same societal push not happening in those industries? I never said we shouldn't strive to be welcoming and to cultivate a friendly environment for all, just that the intentional push for more of any specific demographic seems strange to me. Shitty people are going to exist everywhere regardless. A twitter campaign shouting about the injustices of the industry and pushing for more women in technology isn't going to change that. The people that need to hear the message being conveyed there aren't going to listen, and the people who are listening don't need to hear the message because they likely aren't already shitty people.

> There is no denying that a lot of successful psychopaths accrue at the top of the societal ladder, but the violent ones often inhibit the bottom, terrorizing the rest.

The difference is that most criminals at the top don't need to use violence as a tool to get what they want, at least not usually.

> They may be driven to steal or cheat, but deliberately injuring or killing other people, for that you need to be quite a bad apple yourself.

A small percentage may be born bad, but a lot more are subjected to consistent physical and psychological violence and trauma, and becoming bad ends up being a kind of short term focused survival mechanism. Exposure to drugs and environmental toxins at a young age also damages neurological development.

I disagree. I this this sounds a little too much like a TV show like 24.

The idea that you could completely immobilize someone at a public library so rapidly and without their awareness that they could not even move their arm 20 cm or so during a struggle seems ludicrous to me. Particularly as the kind of person who would buy this device would be setting themselves up with their back to the wall to prevent captures from behind.

I am fairly strong and have wrestled and grappled for over a decade, and I would not put my faith in an operation that required me (even with another agent) to completely immobilize even a weak person enough that I could guarantee they could not trigger this.

This takes a flick of a finger to trigger, or moving your arm a small distance away from the laptop.

The Internet Is Down
I don't disagree at all with making programming welcoming to newbies, but if Magic the Gathering were something you were really interested in picking up, wouldn't you look around for a newbie-friendly group to join instead of just giving up on the game altogether?

How many of us started tinkering with programming at a young age out of pure curiosity or interest in how cool it is, without any regards for how viable of a career path it is later in life? It seems most of us who did just that were boys. At some point you have to consider that there's perhaps an innate aggregate imbalance in how interested each gender is in programming, or in how much each gender responds to financial incentives -- which would explaian both why countries that are more gender equal and more prosperous tend to have a greater degree of gender imbalance in STEM.
