The 2008 RoarVM project allowed Squeak to run on a 56 core Tilera chip and was later ported to run on multiprocessor x86 machines:

This was a research project so performance on a single core was poor compared to the official Squeak virtual machine, but it was an interesting exploration of the natural fit between objects/message passing and multiple cores.
If you're not a founder or hold a sizable stake in the company, it doesn't matter and anyone at the company telling you different are lying to you.

You're expendable. That relationship in the current market goes both ways.

This is highly revisionist history: Google shut down XMPP after years of neglect, and they were still late to the party implementing things like video chat even within their proprietary network. There was one legitimate technical concern — XMPP complicates push notifications for mobile clients since you don't want to prevent power-saving by keeping a TCP socket active — but that didn't force them to neglect everything else, or to close out 3rd-party clients. Trying to build their own closed network did that.
if i could have function overloading, operator overloading (particularly (), ++, --, *) and i could auto-convert my existing codebase to C, i'd move right now to C. i stay with C++03 and thats enough.
It's weasel words. "Personal information" is not strictly "personally identifiable"; it doesn't matter that you can trivially de-anonymize people with even a modest amount of data.

The whole point of using C++ in 2018 is to have control over memory layout and CPU instructions emitted.

If you think lambdas with GC are a good idea then you would not use C++. You would maybe use Go.

I think a lot of people would be very happy if their projects compiled in mere 3 seconds.

Really makes no sense. Google Hangouts was by far their best product for all the reasons you stated, and kept me on the Android platform + Google Voice. When they started to break it up, I went to iOS and ported my number. Can't be bothered to deal with all that shit.
Can you please mark which roles you think will be remote? They aren't listed, and I'm interested in some of your positions, but the last time I applied, I was told that it was onsite (after a decent delay).
From what I gather the HDMI group wants to ensure something marked HDMI just works when plugged into another HDMI device. I guess this gate-keeping is part of it.
Privacy. I don’t want anyone outside of my network seeing any of my videos. If I’m using a cloud provider, then I’ve already given that up. If I’m using a tool like Shinobi on personal streaming video cameras, then I don’t want to have to upload my video to your servers.
One principle elucidated here is that in such cases, the public at large can be considered the end user.

I’m starting to wonder if everyone who makes these arguments has even tried making a native app across Android, iOS, Windows, Mac and Linux. It’s actually challenging to do it with Electron/React Native, and as much as I love/loved Qt, all of the effort of making things work and look nice, packaging for each platform, then coming up with a separate strategy for mobile because Qt is not good on mobile is not ideal.

I don’t disagree that Electron apps kind of suck, but it has practical answers to problems that Qt, for example, doesn’t. There’s nothing like Electron Builder…
I'd be interested to see what the Arianne 6 turns out like given A5 is now sold out, but it still won't be reusable so high cost despite half an A5, but that doesn't matter as their main customer is ESA and they're pretty wedded to them politically.

I'm not aware of any reusable vehicles by ULA and all the current flights are fully booked, they're sold out of their current block. There were only a handful of launches last year, I think Electron actually flew more. For the new, they're waiting for engines from Blue Origin but they'll probably end up using RS as it doesn't look like BO will deliver.

The Russians (and Chinese) are basically copying anything SpaceX in terms of reusable heavy lift, which might be a good plan in the long-term but it's not that innovative.
Thanks bxparks for the heads up! I haven't had a good experience upgrading macOS in the past either. I appreciate all the helpful advice on HN.
>and which in the name of everything that's holy should've been implemented in PHP 2 to save the web from becoming a botnet.

Hack did this correctly with XHP templating. Unfortunately, Hack was killed by PHP7, and of all the features it took from Hack, context-aware native templating was not among them.
No, you broke your CLI tools. By unthinkingly pulling in stuff from someone else's repository without vetting it. Or using other tools which did, which amounts to the same thing.

Good that you woke up to that.
I assure you the 2018 effort was separate and deliberate. Read the NAVADMIN yourself if you wish, https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Messages/NAVADMIN/N...

The Navy (and wider DoD) had also been pushing XML-based technologies earlier, of course, but that's less damning when it was happening when the entire IT industry was pushing those technologies.
For general desktop use, it's mostly fine. However, for gaming I noticed way better performance and no more graphical glitches after switching from a GTX 1060 to an RX 570 (a worse card on Windows, especially OpenGL). Gnome seems to handle Nvidia better than KDE too.
P2P could be a solution. Skype, cough.
I absolutely do not understand your argument. That’s why I’ve asked you to clarify it several times. This is what I responded to:

> What we should be doing is eliminating all off-street parking requirements […] and then simply charging for convenient on-street parking

I don’t understand how this solves for any parking issues. It seems like it will create a significant parking issue.

There is insufficient street parking for this to work. Yes, you can hypothetically charge to death until most people stop parking on the street but that just means they’ll vote out the board who instituted the parking fees that make it “convenient”, and the poor will be screwed over either way.
This might first see usecases in the semi-high end enterprise where there are PCI peripherals and SoCs that can spend that amount of pins for the speedup provided but can't afford the more exotic transports.
I personally don't care for the arbitrary nature of it. I want Uber to cost more so that people on the brink of financial ruin aren't trading equity in their vehicle for quick cash. I want my restaurant bill to include the cost of a living wage for the staff. I do "tip" my 20%, even when the service is absolute dogshit, because the waiter didn't overcook my food, and the kitchen staff didn't forget my order.
Let's say your net worth is ~100k. That's equivalent to a 2.5k donation. Investing 2.5k in a pet project is pretty common, and you don't find yourself in the streets for doing so.

I think people that say it's easy to lose 2b$ don't have a clear understanding of the amount of money that is. It's a crazy amount for one person.

There are tradeoffs beyond just the company making more money, as Moxie's recent web3 assessment covered. Protocols take much longer to evolve, platforms are quick to evolve.

Allowing platforms to innovate but somehow incentivizingnor requiring opening up what they've built seems like it would be the best of both worlds, but I'm not sure how that could be done well.

If people actually paid for usage, that would be one thing, because then it would be all about getting people to use your platform so you made more money, and having others innovate on too of it that you could fold into it would be cost effective. In the world of free APIs and services, it's all about keeping control of every bit.

Maybe all it needs is a nudge to make the decision to hoard all data no longer worth while. Make companies liable for PII that's lost and make someone's PII their own property only to be used with their agreement and maybe the rest will start to fall out of it.
SQLite is not uncommon in web applications. It isn't just found in phone apps and OSs.

It works pretty well for tasks that are primarily read heavy and is a lot lighter doing so than the common non-nosql alternatives (SQL Server, postgres, mariadb/mysql, ...). For applications that need good performance in the presence of much writing, particularly where concurrent writes might be desirable, it is far less ideal though.
Why?

That's not rational thinking or skepticism, it's just blind tribalism.

In the Messages app preferences, you turn off the big switch that enables iMessage. No need to deregister or anything. Just flip the switch. The deregister process mentioned here is intended for leaving the iOS ecosystem so that messages will find you properly.

<< Well, we can explore why countries have. The answer is a mixture of "it makes tax evasion stupidly easy" and "it uses too much power". With parts of the world paying INSANE prices for fuel right now, a lot more governments will latch onto that second line of reasoning. In general, governments detest tax evasion and things which aide it.

I take issue with the statement "it makes tax evasion stupidly easy". The moment you touch any US-based exchange, your information is up for grabs by a variety of agencies from IRS to various LEOs. It may make doing the deed easy, but it does not really change much. It has been years now since blockchain made it into mainstream. There are companies specializing in selling blockchain insights. Unless we are not talking US. But US has an entire cottage industry devoted to making sure that the wealthy pay as little as possible. I am not sure banning crypto would help here. Killing lawyers and accountants could ( I jest.. it is just a reference to Henry VI ), but that is about it.

<<"it uses too much power"

I find this argument amusing. I am paying for it. If you don't like my use, either raise the price or, well, leave me alone. But therein lies a problem, energy prices are not an equilibrium point and people do not want to give up THEIR toys, but an appropriate scapegoat will let them keep their toys and feel righteous indignation. It is a win/win.

<<The answer is the government.

And this is where it gets fun as correctly noticed. Even without considering the distributed nature of the technology itself ( because there are way to circumvent that as internet splintering has shown ), government these days may, if not will, disagree for a variety of reasons including but not limited to "they are for A, therefore I am for not A", making it a protracted game of whack-a-mole ala piracy, war on drugs and multiple other endeavours governments proved to be so good at. To sum up, you may reasonably argue they have the authority, but do you reasonably think, they will actually pull it off?

Calling a federal law enforcement agency a domestic terror agency over Waco is precisely what I’m objecting to for the reasons I’ve given. I’m not making assumptions on what you’ve said in this regard. I’m explaining why I think using “domestic terror organization” with regard to Waco is not justified.

It is incorrect in my opinion to use Waco as an example of a law enforcement agency being in any way comparable to a domestic terror organization.

Dunning-Kruger has nothing to do with this exchange. That effect is an observation that less intelligent people tend to overrate their abilities more than higher intelligent people. I’ve not rated my abilities at all in any of these exchanges.

My kids (similar age) use a minecraft realm that we’ve added their friends to for text chat and to hang out virtually together, and a password protected Jitsi for video/voice.

MC is good because even if they’re not into playing the game they like just text-chatting while they walk around looking at stuff or exploring premade worlds from the free section of the store.
For whatever reason enterprise was slow to adopt messaging. I think a lot of this floundering about by Microsoft was an attempt to get wide scale enterprise adoption of a messaging protocol, and make money off of it.

Yep, excel and ods files are even more restricted for the moment. I'd like to lift these restrictions eventually!
FWIW, PCI-e has never had backwards compatibility with PCI. They're two vastly different protocols that were somewhat standardized by the same standards body. So, PCI-e has always been vastly more performant than PCI since 2004.
There are times when complex frameworks are necessary because they've already dealt with the complexity and times when they're overkill or stupidly inefficient.

The point being made in other comments about minimizing dev time vs maximizing reach / impact is really solid (re: Electron).

My real takeaway from the rant (which I found pretty amusing) was that the author isn't terribly effective at discussing these issues with others and feels like they just get labeled as 'Old' when trying to do so.
You can certainly do that on Epsons and other brands.

The app gave me much better experience by integrating with Dropbox, Drive, Evernote, etc. It's extremely easy to print/scan documents from/to the cloud.

Brazil matches and surpasses, as far as I know

Edit: a quick google search indicates this is a controversial topic, to say the least

Also, kudos for recognizing that this is a valuable characteristic of a place for quality of life. Genuine ethnic food restaurants, a wide variety of interesting events and festivals, diverse influence in music and cultural hightlights... it does make a lot of difference for people attuned to its effects
Joplin is excellent. I'm a very happy user. But I also use my own WebDAV server to sync. It would be nice if they supported Seafile as a sync target, but they do currently support Nextcloud.

Maybe he wanted libraries that printed blather in an infinite loop. Then it can't be "malware" to put that in his own repositories.

If other people don't want that, then they shouldn't pull from his repositories. If they do that anyway, then that's their own fault. Nobody forced them to.
That’s literally how all polyfills work. They first check if the thing is there, and if not then implement it.

And in this case you can simply do an if statement with (first && first.second && first.second.third)

My point being, writing one long line is how the language inherently works. Use that instead of the new feature that only ships in new browsers. I’d still be upset if one of my teammates added an entire bundling system so they can simply write fewer lines for such simple menial aspects of the code. Forest for the trees.
This isn’t emphasized enough. The carriers should have no more say in what comes to replace SMS than ISPs do.

As such, RCS isn’t the answer simply because the carriers were involved. SMS’ successor should basically be a vendor agnostic WhatsApp or Signal complete with E2E built into the base spec instead of duct taped on as an extension that can conveniently be ignored.
It's not (just) about money or profits. As a solo web dev, building for desktop with electron is faster. It saves me time, the most valuable resource. How I choose to spend that extra time - on more features or on vacation - is up to me. I don't want to spend it on learning yet another way (or several) to build UIs and apps, when I already know enough to make a good enough product for my goals. It would be great if Electron was less resource intensive, yes. There's Tauri and other alternatives that will eventually replace it and solve the performance problem.

You can blame OS vendors for trying to build a moat with OS-specific, not web-compatible UI toolkits. Don't want to touch that, don't have to, thankfully.

Only one of those people has Signal (not sure why they SMS'd me, but that just further illustrates the problem of how it's difficult to remember to contact people using the "correct" means)

They are likely using an Apple device, so they can't use Signal as the default SMS/messenger app and have to remember to use it for the right contracts.

Android allows you to choose the default messenger app, and setting up Signal this way gives you an experience very similar to the iMessage one on Apple devices - messages to non-Signal-using contacts go over SMS/MMS, messages to contacts with Signal go over the Signal protocol.
Not at all. Having worked on all sort of companies and applications, the author is absolutely right.
It seems like Jevons Paradox is just another example of induced demand, the demand is just induced due to increased efficiency.

Roads and bandwidth can be structured as a Jevons Paradox as well, no? The roads were made more efficient by being able to transport more cars. The Internet connection was made more efficient by allowing more bandwidth.
I'll email the moderators and point them to this thread on your behalf. All the best.
> The argument for Electron and React Native isn't "it's modern", it's "it's much cheaper".

I'd argue it's not cheaper overall, just for the company choosing to do the development.

What I mean is, the lost productivity of waiting around for slack to load a channel is essentially outsourcing this cost difference via poor performance.
It means that I am effectively purchasing carbon credits to offset my carbon emissions. I and my Bitcoin mining rig have a net zero impact.
I don’t know what’s what, but to add an opinion: the leading expert in Germany (Drosten, who developed the first PCR-Test for Covid) has also stated in various contexts that he heavily doubts the lab-hypothesis.

It would be nice to have a somewhat more definite answer to the question, but I’m doubtful we’ll ever know.
Speak for yourself. I personally do it, it's fantastic. But it does get me a little out of sync with the rest of the world, but with time differences etc. it's not a big deal.

I'm sure a LOT of people do it, and if you turn off your alarm clock and having to get up at x time, and going to sleep at y time, to be 'refreshed' etc, you'd notice the benefit yourself.

Just sleep when you're tired, eat when you're hungry. Trying to have rigid rules around all this does more to damage peoples health than anything else.
unlike programming, you're not mutating and updating mathematical variables. Having "intelligible" names doesn't actually help that much to understand the core mathematical concepts anyway.
One of the best books on this is The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Maufactured War on Terrorism by Trevor Aaronson. My 97% is based on a memeory of that number being used by Mr. Aaronson in a talk he gave at politics and prose, so the exact percentage may be different the point is that it is the case in the vast majority.
Brave browser has the same problem on Android and iOS. Hopefully there will be some distribution deals in the future. But the default install is a huge problem for competition.

Be careful here, who remembers the Berkley Biochemist that got laughed out of science concerning his AIDs 'theories'. He got laughed out due to his lack of public health knowledge and viruses.

A lab alone cannot engineer a virus any more than a human attempt to create one which given our current lack of knowledge cannot happen either.

However, mutations of a current bat virus kept in a lab can and will trigger an out break of something.

Everyone see the very subtle difference yet?

It's that misunderstanding of the difference they wanted to shut down i.e. misunderstandings...not investigations or science.

And despite differences in political systems this was the concern of China scientists and politicians as well.
"Newsom’s budget proposes broadening the policy to allow districts to base funding on attendance in the current year , prior year or the average of that from three prior years — whichever is greater."

The number of teachers you need this year depends on how many students you have this year, not 2 years ago, but government schools exist in part to reward the teachers' unions, which donate to and campaign for politicians who give them more money.
Funny how they call it a nightcap, but ends up doing the complete opposite.

Variable names with more than one letter (excluding superscripts and subscripts) are awful to read and difficult to parse. Kerning issues become confusing as you try to figure out where are the implied multiplications. There is nothing wrong with single letters as long as they are chosen appropriately and are clearly defined in the text.
