You could totally do this with BEAM, via hot swapping. The WebSocket processes don't really change, it's the implementation of what happens when messages comes in that changes. So you'd setup your hot swap with this in mind. (The connection processes stay connected and the behavior module is swapped out?)

However, hot swapping is not super common in practice. Mainly because it's added complexity that most people can live without.
In a country that currently has rules that exclude the current world No. 1...
Water quality massively varies by location. It's generally all safe (spare me the low effort comment about Flint or some watershed in WV poisoned by coal, the exception proves the rule) and most of it doesn't taste like chlorine.
I don't believe the general sentiment is negative. It's just that the subset with a negative sentiment are more likely to voice their opinion than those who feel neutral or good about Firefox.
Your two examples are not unityped, and most unityped languages are unityped all the way down and as a consequence do not have the same problems.
You correctly point out a lot of the crap, but there's good news too.

One thing that's really cool is the explosion of new programming languages. In the last decade or two, we've seen Clojure, Rust, Go and a whole bunch of others come out. And it's not just that a lot of these languages are better in a technical sense, many of them are also a lot of fun to code in, which after all is why most of us got into programming in the first place.

The past decade or so has also seen desktop linux become a delightful daily driver. And, as much as I love to bitch about electron, it's made a lot more new apps available for linux.

Let's also not forgot Bitcoin coming into it's own. With all the noise in the space it's easy to forget that at as recently as 15 years ago, decentralized digital money was thought to be an impossible problem to solve.
I don't know about the current state of Smalltalk, but back in the late 90s there was a very elegant version control system for Smalltalk called Envy. It provided version control at the level of each method, and it was integrated nicely in the IDE.
It also may just be technologically obsolete in 20 years.
Unfortunately the Serbian registry doesn't provide a timestamp for when each test was taken.

But our intrepid OSINT researcher discovered that the data in the QR code begins with a UNIX timestamp, such as cqcode=1640187792... and cqcode=1640524880...

From that one might infer that the positive test actually happened 4 days after the negative test.

The documents Djokovic provided to the court claim the positive test happened 7 days before the negative test.
They do what the shareholders want because that's who they legally work for.

Under which law? Plenty of corporate boards do things their shareholders don't like every day.
Oh cool! I haven't tried Mindscope, but it does look similar. Nice work!
The possibility of right to repair.
I'd imagine the same reason why anyone runs an international tennis competition?

Although in this case at least they've been doing it for 117 years... so they do have precedent on their side.
Is it possible that this "highest grossing film" figure is inflated?

I actually found a copy of the film and watched it over a month ago. While there were no subtitles for English, based on the production quality, I don't think it's a form of entertainment that would pass for "great" in the west or many other countries. Not that it's poor quality, but there are aspects of it that were cheap-ish. I'm talking explosions and artillery impacts that clearly look like squibs going off on cue, which is something most mainstream entertainment has either moved beyond or done a better job of making look realistic. The acting in some parts appeared over the top, while on the other hand they clearly struggled to find good White actors who could speak English and wanted to appear in this film.

To be fair, I the film appears to be of decent effort and wasn't the sort of disaster I was expecting it to be.

If you're a Chinese citizen and your dear leaders want you to see this film, are you not going to see it? And if you're in another country like Russia, wouldn't The Battle at Lake Changjin be at least a neat curiosity in that there's finally a film where the Americans aren't just the good guys?

Even then, should we not also suspect some form of shenanigans? I don't have evidence for it, but the CCP isn't really known for being not corrupted. They certainly have an interest in making sure its population is on board with a conflict with the United States.

All that to say that I think we should keep these things in perspective. There was a time when a film being the highest grossing meant something. Does it still mean the same thing in the streaming era? Does it mean the same thing in China as it does in the US?
Q2 is pretty boring compared to modern shooters, but it is one of the last games from it's particular vintage style of corridor-shooter FPS, and it does it better than it's priors mechanically. Full 3D, autorun, mouselook, none of this click-to-aim, walk-by-default crap

Soon thereafter Call of Duty hit the scene and everything goes downhill from there (save Half-Life)

edit- I remember seeing the fake screenshots on the back of the box of D-ZONE and getting pissed my game didn't look like that. It only took 20 years or so!
It also means you have to be careful about tabulating "yes I can get credit fine, I just don't want it (at that price)".

Edit: And also, at the time, even people with bad credit were still getting those offers. And my credit history was really short at the time.
Thus why "I'm sure its fine for most situations". I just want to make sure that when we're throwing around CDC stuff, we're doing it in context.

Goodness knows enough people are taking expert snippets and doing terrible things with them, I'd hate to see HN become a source of that.
He got an exemption the Victoria state rules, this is the same as you getting a paper from Florida saying you can travel freely there and trying to enter the US based on that paper.
The same way any cancellation works: refuse to buy stuff made in China. Boycott Amazon until it stops selling Chinese stuff. Don't watch Chinese movies. And so on.

The subject of the cancellation doesn't have to use Twitter. The consumers should - which is perfectly the case here.
That I would sit in a courtroom to listen to.

Between cats putting their buttholes in front the screen to my wife showering and walking around naked in the background to Spectrum throttling my network bandwidth every now and again, off unless it's a one-on-one call.

Also someone is almost always screen-sharing, which means having the thumbnails is just taking away screen real estate from seeing what they're sharing.
Well, there is a lot of overlapping nomenclature. Here by variant we understand any sample, which is not identical sequence-wise to sequences seen before. Most of the observed mutations are innocuous and do not lead to a potential new lineage (what better fits the definition of variant above). However, it is difficult to tell by eye - or even with the standard computational tools - if new mutation is (a) deleterious (harms the virus' capacity to spread), (b) neutral, or (c) fitness enhancing.
I don’t know about TouchID support, but Windows Hello has been supported by Firefox for at least a couple of years or longer now.

I use fingerprint authentication on a laptop with Windows 10 and Firefox on sites that allow me to use this as the second factor.

There is also a flag in about:config (signon.management.page.os-auth.enabled = true) to make sure this support is enabled.

Initially I found that it wasn’t working, and then I went through troubleshooting mode (disable all extensions) and found an extension that was blocking this from working (I didn’t spend time on investigating why or if someone else had seen the same issue).
Management is very much supposed to do whatever the owners tell them to do. If they don’t like it, they can resign in protest.

It's not a one-way street.

Management can do things, and if the shareholders don't like it, they can sell their shares in protest.

Happens all the time.
Google participated in industrial espionage while having talks with Sonos, then implemented what they've learned in their products. That's patents working as designed.

Back in 2013, while Google was considering how it could make its music streaming service work on Sonos' speakers, the latter company gave the search giant an inside look at its technology. At the time, it didn't seem like a big deal. Google wasn't making speakers, and it wasn't in the smart home business at all. It would be another year before it bought Nest as a way to get into the hardware business. Sonos says that as a result of that inside look, Google "blatantly and knowingly" copied its technology and included it in its own products.
You can argue that, but it's not what the question was about. The survey question is:

> Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.)

Of course nothing requires survey participants to be honest or to actually totally read and comprehend the question.
Wasn't that gathering on the Dec 17th date, one day after the claimed (but apparently predated) positive test on Dec 16th?
It is not just about the present temperature and how it affects marine ecosystem or global weather. A hotter ocean fuels a few global warming positive feedback loops, like that warmer water holds less CO2, can emit more methane from the sea floor, and melts floating ice reducing Earth's albedo, and that could end warming ocean water (and the planet) even more.

And that this is happening during La Niña event could turn for worse in the next El Niño.
Exactly. Case in point: Sonos not getting along with Google means the Youtube Music app doesn't allow casting to a Sonos speaker directly (like the Spotify app for example). This means I have to use the Sonos app, which "wraps" the Youtube API, but in a very shitty way (there's lots of contents that I can easily find if I search for it on Youtube directly, but the same search string gives no or bad results if searched in the Sonos app). Not sure if this is just a poor implementation of the YT API by Sonos or more bad will on Google's part (I'm inclined to think it's the first), but either way the user experience is horrible. It's so bad that the Sonos speaker basically sits there unused (even though the sound quality is very good).

I'm not taking Sonos' part here though: like other people here pointed out, I'm pretty sure they patented some very obvious things which they should imo never have gotten a patent for in the first place.

Let’s ask the World Bank[1].

> In line with standard practice, immediately after receiving a series of serious allegations in August 2019 in connection with the Xinjiang Technical and Vocational Education and Training Project, the Bank launched a fact-finding review, and World Bank senior managers traveled to Xinjiang to gather information directly. After receiving the allegations, no disbursements were made on the project.

> The team conducted a thorough review of project documents, engaged in discussions with project staff, and visited schools directly financed by the project, as well as their partner schools that were the subject of allegations.

> The review did not substantiate the allegations.

The Github team has done a great job on the docs for this process. It's one of the few places I can tell a jr dev to RTFM and send them a link to the Github docs, suddenly they're an expert in SSH and up and running in 10 minutes.

A couple years ago it was harder, but I've done this from scratch on my machines and others' several times over the last few months and it's always easy.

Also I meant to add that I agree with you regarding getting in vs graduating. That was my take away from the recent scandals. If anyone can get in via bribing their way onto a racquetball team or whatever and then graduate, it can't be that hard.

Also from watching some of their courses, they do have world class teachers and I assume TA to student ratios that are enviable so I'm sure there is a quality education there too.
Right, this is the comment I was going to make as well. It's certainly possible, but there's tradeoffs (mainly around complexity) to code hot-swapping. We haven't implemented it because restarting servers to upgrade code helps everyone prepare for when servers go down for unexpected reasons, or so I like to think :P!
Just want to hightlight that dig's +trace parameter does that automatically.
I too am a big fan of SpaceX but I think it is fair to say things like "If SpaceX Starship" rather than assume it is going to work and work affordably.

I would argue that 'shareholders' aren't able to influence these decisions at multi-national mega corporations

There's such a thing as activist investors, and they seem to be gaining influence lately. From what I read in the newspaper, they're behind a lot of the changes that are starting to happen at certain multi-national oil companies.
Note that modern reconnaissance satellites can take pictures quite far off-axis (as demonstrated by the Morison leaks to Jane's).
Feel the same – even if this test investigation is true (looks true) he can plead ignorance of course by saying he doesn't know how that system works.

In effect, if his team + Serbian gov't manipulated the tests, I'm not sure what the recourse is, except for the Australian gov't to sue the Serbian gov't?
> legally mandated reentry in 25 years.

What is this requirement?
> and "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order".. both of these things should have never been the default

Personally, Ctrl+Tab-bing cycling through tabs in most recently used order is greatly useful. Maybe its just me, but everytime I go back to Edge or Chrome, it becomes painful to the point I have to use the mouse for moving through tabs.
> It’s funny when I read the Foundation novels, it seemed silly to me that people could lose track of technology and fall backwards.

> Then you read something like this and realize Asimov had a point!

And also wildly over-optimistic (as is typical for SF). In the books, I think it took something like 10,000 years to loose the technical knowledge. I bet we could do it in 100.
Linear transformations can be more easily visualized as scaling coordinate systems - this is actually a pretty easy way to grok what's actually going on with the math. Big bang theory is pointlessly obscure (and uses four dimensions in its zero-zero-zero-zero because apparently four dimensions is enough to be "ooh mysterious" without making anyone feel like a dolt - just use two dimensions guys - everyone has worked with graph paper) but here's an interesting video[1] that sort of touches on the fact that linear transformations (by definition) keep the origin consistent.

As with REST APIs, you'd want to be able to authenticate to a websocket-based API using either basic auth, or a bearer token-based auth scheme. Unfortunately, the browser websocket API doesn't allow you to specify arbitrary headers in the websocket request, so it's typical instead to have credentials supplied via a query param (such as "accessToken" for a bearer token) in the wss request.
Appreciate that, thanks! Our collaboration model is similar to that of Notion under the hood. It's operation based and resolves conflicts using a last-edit-wins on a granular level.
Nice, doesn't have motion tracking like mine though - https://gifmemes.io. :P But I like how you went for videos rather than gifs. I've experimented with ffmpeg and the canvas recording API, but both were too buggy or didn't work a year ago.
Solving crimes with cams in times when every one is wearing a mask, specially those who do crimes will wear a mask, a hat or something else more. But how to fix this - put there even more cams :) Genious, really.
People, please don't do any crimes, cause you gonna weight on the police system now. Please, if you do commit a crime, just during that time, for short, remove your mask and look at the camera. hahaha
I have a related question. Would it be feasible to launch a future JWST-style mission into a simple heliocentric orbit, which doesn't require any stationkeeping at all? It will then drift away from Earth over the years, eventually being as distant as L3, before getting closer again. And I appreciate it can be harder to communicate to something that distant. Yet, communications tech has come a long way in the last few years, arguably even farther than stuff like ion thrusters, and I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to put effort into providing sufficient bandwidth at 2 AU rather than better stationkeeping. Especially if the mission isn't meant to be serviced anyway.
It would have been great to have their reasons for lowering prices.

Were they more expensive than the competition? Was their conversion rate poor because of price? Are they seeing better revenue with the lower prices?
> Scientists, though, perhaps because of their desire for accuracy and precision have had the worst luck of all in pinning down the truth of the universe. Philosophers and historians of science have pointed out and speculated on how scientific theories come and go—through refinement, through revolution, or even through anarchy.

This sentiment is common enough that Asimov wrote a refutation of it: https://hermiene.net/essays-trans/relativity_of_wrong.html
Mythbusters supposedly disproved this, I wonder if it could actually happen.
The only cross-platform UIs I know of are Flutter and QT. Yeah the red flag scares me, especially since I'm not well versed in native/low-level graphics. There must be a good reason why it hasn't been created yet.
Pretty much every app that has a real-time communication component relies heavily on websockets. Slack and other messaging apps, document editors, financial tickers, sports sites.
I legitimately believe voice-only calls are better. Video messes up eye contact and never feels natural.

But, the problem is that people treat voice calls as an invitation to go walk the dog or do the dishes. There may well be plenty of meetings where that's totally okay and a great use of time—but oftentimes you actually, y'know, need to have everyone paying attention.

I don't know if there's a way to resolve this.
NASA was wasteful and full of contractor corruption during Apollo as well. They just had the political will to get funded and keep pushing forward so they did.

The stagnation in aerospace is mostly due to us running into fundamental limits of physics pretty quickly, not due to some kind of work ethic or creative failures. to keep pushing forward in space would have required another order of magnitude in funding, and funding during Apollo was already huge. That said, I wouldn't mind if all the worlds military $$$ had been dumped into mars colonization either.
Funny how China doing something are always in the future tense. Whereas the ones who have committed the atrocity of actually illegally detaining an executive by putting pressure on a friendly country is the USA.
Pigs that were genetically engineered to produce organs for human transplants (pigoons) take over the world after a global pandemic (deliberately) kills all people, except a tribe (immune) of genetically engineered primitive humanoids (Crakers) who are peaceful, gentle, and herbivorous.
Nope; if Lisp were popular, all the fungible programmers would readily learn it and be productively employed, just like the are currently doing with languages that borrow heavily from Lisp.

Employers don't actually want fungible programmers, as in mediocre. They want programmers who are replaceable not because their work is mediocre, but because their work is well-designed and organized with a view toward maintainability, documented, and covered by test cases.

One can easily be a mediocre programmer (who therefore ought to be fungible, because their work isn't clever) but whose work is difficult to understand, take over, and get working by the next mediocre programmer.

What do you look for as their specialty? Is there a size of firm that you look for? Any key terms that you zero in on that would indicate that they do this type of work? Also how do you actually find a these ? Seems like a Google search won’t exactly bring up the right caliber folks.

passive fail-safe already existed 20 years ago. CANDU Reactor is exactly that. Doesn't even need enriched uranium.
I was under the impression that, originally, COVID policy was intended to allow for our collective healthcare infrastructure to spin up an adequate response to the surges prevalent with the infections and their potential outcomes. Public Health Policy that limited spread did do that while the healthcare industry found best practices, equipment, and medicines which were intended to help those who were potentially infected and required medical attention to get better.

Based on the results of this policy, it appears that that the world has solved for SOME of those key pieces but has failed in many others, as evidenced by the inability for some regions to handle the surge in cases, particularly in areas where we are just beginning to again exceed where we were a year ago in case load.

Does this mean that COVID policy has failed? Depending on what we're talking about here: no, not in my opinion. What has failed is the ability for the healthcare industry to scale to meet the current caseloads, particularly when they knew what to expect when we might hit levels we are currently seeing and have seen before.
I was just discussing this with my wife. I switched to streaming services out of convenience but I find that the collection of my 'liked music' is easily 1/10th of my old MP3 collection(160GB?). Since switching to streaming the number of artists I regularly listen to has dropped dramatically. I played a song the other day for my wife and she said she had no idea I liked that kind of music. Well, I never specifically 'liked' it on my streaming service so it never got played(in over 5 years).

One thing I can say is that YouTube(pre-YT music) was instrumental in helping me discover a lot of new music. The suggestion algorithm they were using worked really well. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Spotify, which seems to trap you in a cave of your previous likes.

If I can find the time, I'm going to switch back to my MP3 collection. It will take some work, but I need to undo the damage done by streaming.
More that someone faked the paper certificates, imho.

Wouldn't more small reactors be better for management of power production? If one of 20 needs maintenance, you still have the other 19 to supply consumers with electricity.

While if you need to power down a huge reactor for maintenance, its backup must be of the same huge capacity.
