It's fairly standard practice to hack in some "green thread" behaviour using gevent or similar. It's far from perfect but gets you away from the single-process-per-request bottleneck. If it even is much of a bottleneck in the first place - isolating each request in its own process worked well enough back in the CGI days. I suspect the real reason is that autoscaling doesn't generally play well with having thousands of mostly idle processes.
have you read their page? it is really good https://orgmode.org/.
Isn't this is a typical problem of monoculture? (in the agricultural terms)

That is, there are many humans, living under similar conditions (food chain, social behavior), which invites all type of opportunistic organisms (viruses, bacteria, politicians, big corporations) to specialize on that similarity.
i have been running zerotier for over 2 years now. brilliant. works without problems
I was setting up my blog and using AppScript to automatically write add my new posts to Firebase. It is still a WIP, I granted the script the permissions I needed and somehow after that Google labelled my account on my main computer as suspicious (which I have been using for years). So whenever I switched from my personal computer to my office one, it used inform me someone suspicious tried to use my account and asked me to reset my password. This happened multiple times (and it isn't possible since I have set up 2FA and have a very complicated password). When I switched back to my personal computer, it once again used to ask me to reset my password. This became infuriating and after a while I just gave up and switched to Firefox completely (where I have not had the issue again).

*The script I wrote is a variation on the one I wrote while working at my company (where we use AppScript to sync some sync data to Firebase... the same issue never occurred for me while using my company's account)
>We will though see ABS from Bosch soon, not sure if that's such a good idea or even necessary at the low speeds of a <20mph ebike

It might have saved me a broken arm. I had not long had my European spec e-bike and forgot the brakes were reversed when I arrived at a damp corner. I touched what I thought was the rear brake and went straight down.
Amazon Fresh runs on a different part of the infrastructure than Amazon itself.

Your experience with Amazon Fresh does not correlate to the main Amazon front end.

Disclaimer: I work at AWS, but not in any department directly related to the Amazon website itself or Amazon Fresh. However, I have learned some things about how they build their systems behind the scenes.

I lost access to my primary Google account in this way, 10 years of mail and drive inaccessible, all sign Ins void, and I find Google hasn't supported account recovery for almost five years.

I'd set inactive account recovery, so if I died my brother would get access six months later. That didn't happen either. Google is a joke.

I’m sure they know. They have a boatload of customer-oriented metrics that they track on a daily basis. And I’m sure there are multiple simultaneous projects going on to address various parts of that delay.

But you and I are just two customers out of the hundreds of millions that I presume they serve on a daily basis, and they can only work on their average, median, P90, P99, and P99.99 results.
Are you a lawyer or paralegal? How did you land on the specific cases? Are they cherry picked or how do we know if there is other cases that are newer and set different precedents? I’m honestly curious, I know paralegals will go into some database and search for case law to cite like you did and then build the case arguments with a lawyer.
I wonder if paying up money for this Google Workspace Individual[0] will make me more immune to possible lockouts like this... Or is it just more sensible to jump to another paid email provider like Fastmail?

Oh, hey! :)

Anything you'd like to share about it? Are you using it as a daily driver yourself? Got any further plans for it? Unexpected things you discovered?
As of Python 3.7, this is no longer an implementation detail and instead becomes a language feature.
Not having that would mean no access to the Windows SDK, no access to a libc, the macOS frameworks, etc. It's far from negligible. It takes other languages years to wrap the OS APIs correctly, if they even do it.

Why would CV members be insane ? Having const members has been very useful for me when refactoring codebases, to make sure that I knew every place modifying such a member. It has never been a hindrance, just plain positive, and not having it would mean one more rule to remember (and having to explain students why you can write "const int foo;" here and not there)
Looks nicer but not sure if it brings enough functional benefit to overcome the lingua franca of data processing. Time will tell but if they can get a few major database engines to support it natively, maybe it can take off. I am somewhat skeptical though.
>I'd expect average Go code to be 100%+ slower than average C code

Sorry to nitpick, but that means the Go code will never complete.
I guess one potential downside is if you mess up and forget to renew the domain on time and some jerk (automated system) buys it up and tries to resell it for a ridiculously high price. Happened to me even on my firstnamelastname.com domain.
re. digital: the last time i read a newyorker article it consumed 900+ MB of my mobile data plan and i've been avoiding it like the plague ever since.

which is a shame because the writing is generally good as you note.
The New York Times writes great articles and usually you get a discount so it only costs 1 or 2$ per week which I find really fair pricing.

Also popular substack Newsletters. It totally depends though, some are just hot air even in the paid versions and others really have good content also for free subscribers.

If there is more need for content I will go through my list of 100+ blogs and just grab some random old article about compiling gtk on gentoo or similar… haha
The problem you have is that you don't have practical experience living and working in the country and haven't been able to develop a feel or "bullshit radar" for how things work there. The 1991 act was just another sham which was set up for show, i.e. to convince Japan's overseas trading partners that it is cracking down on organised crime. It's just a document Japan can always point at and say "see we have outlawed the Yakuza, aren't we just like you?",similarly how you just did ;-)

You simply need to understand that in Japan, that the insight you made: "Yes, Konami is well known for its shitty business and toxic inside culture but that can always happen without Yakuza ties" is simply wrong.

Companies who behave like this in Japan are not normal companies. They always have ties to organised crime, full stop. No normal company would risk being seen as a black kigyō, because like I tried to explain above, the divisions between those companies and reputable companies in Japan are extremely strong and there is no gray area.

From your name, I reckon you are culturally inclined to perpetuate false myths out of some East Asian pride reflex?
No. Far from it. Obviously, exceptions exist, but PhDs generally get offered much higher salaries in practice (and typically for good reason).

Also, nobody ever gets rejected as 'overqualified', except when that is a euphemism for 'underqualified': i.e. you spent an unreasonable number of years watching water boil without bothering to pick up any transferable skills whatsoever in the process, so you're stuck being good at a very particularly niche thing that nobody can put to practical use, and such at everything else.

But this is an extremely unlikely outcome for a PhD, and very rare in practice. Typically one will exit their PhD with an improved understanding of how science works, the ability to navigate complex projects having a high degree of uncertainty with minimal hand-holding, the ability to compile and communicate information to a diverse audience, the ability to critically analyse literature/competition, quickly pick up complex topics and design valid studies and experiments to make progress in the field, and a bunchload of other transferrable skills which justify their added value beyond what their PhD topic was specifically about.

Not to mention it's a pretty decent self-selection marker for people who lack such advanced skills, since these are typically necessary to navigate a PhD in the first place: not everyone who starts a PhD gets to finish one (in the UK for example, about 1 in 5 exit early or fail their viva)!

What does makes sense is the opportunity cost argument. If you do a PhD solely on the basis that your salary will be higher later, this completely discounts the wages lost during the PhD. E.g. for a hypothetical scenario, if you start in your 20ies with a 30k salary, accruing 1k raises per year until you're 25, you will have made 160k in that time. Typically there is no kind of "PhD bonus" that would make it financially better to start earning with a 5-year delay (though it's not that hard to 'catch-up' either). E.g. assuming you have 40 more years of work left after 25, in order for your PhD to "break even", you'd have to guarantee that your 'added value' from the PhD adds at least 4k per year on top of what you would have earned without one.

But this kind of argument is overly simplistic, and designed to be reductive. I doubt anyone who goes into a PhD thinks about surplus salaries and breaking even as their main motivators for doing one, any more than a parent sending their kid to school after kindergarden instead of sending them off to a factory for the same logic.
Well, Markdown and YML and JSON are not subsets of SGML, nobody claims they are, and nobody intented them as such. So there's that.
Wait, so they are actively encouraging Sybil attacks?

Controlling RGB LEDs with Only Powerlines: Anatomy of a Christmas Light String
This guy is a student. It's not like he has "chosen" money unlike myself

I used to be a junior software developer (hence username) earning £40k - far above median income.

Post tax, rent, bills I could save over the year to purchase the £5k electron microscope I mentioned quite easily.

But then I'd need to rent space for it. And purchase the rest of the equipment.

My points aren't some "look how bad I have it" gotcha. It's highlighting the perspective that this student is lucky to be supported with the resources to excel in his passion. Even if his use case is quite exceptional

Others have highlighted for Americans this probably represents a family in the top 5-10% of earners. A realm which American software developers can fall into

For myself, the chance to work in a lab of equipment costing the order of six figures required a career change and significant pay cut. But that's just me

To clarify. I am mind blown he has pulled this off. It's an extraordinary feat. All I can be is envious of his skills and privilege
That was predictable.

What I hate far more than coarse words are when people pretend they know how association works, they have to correct the thinking of others and therefore certain terms must not be permitted. I want to minimize my exposure and cooperation here because this is not about working together constructively.

Not that Google already has become the faceless publicly traded org it has been for years now. They are big on compliance so that nobody takes a closer look at their surveillance advertising, so everything has to be extra clean.
Yeah the `Key` and `DB` example, while somewhat differing in semantics, can be emulated by Java.

Here's an example that extends it slightly and can't be emulated by Java.

// I forget if I need to curry the second argument in a separate argument list
// I'm not next to a computer with scalac at the moment, so I'll just use separate argument lists
type DB = (k: Key) => k.IsVerified => Option[k.Value]

trait Key {
type Value
val keyValue: Value
case class IsVerified(underlyingBool: Boolean)
}

val myDB: DB =
key => isVerified => x match
case IsVerified(bool) =>
if bool then
// return the actual value
doSomething()
else
None

def verifyKey(key: Key): key.IsVerified =
if isValidKey(key) then
key.IsVerified(true)
else
key.IsVerified(false)

val key0: Key = ...
val key1: Key = ...

val key0Verification: key0.IsVerified = verifyKey(key0)

// Fails to compile
// You're trying to cheat!
// You only verified key0 and are trying to use its verification to bypass
// verifying key1
myDB(key1)(key0Verification)

Project Gutenberg lost favour with me when they basically said "U.S. Copyright is the only copyright law that matters on the internet, so screw you Germany" and geoblocked the entire country. This must have felt like such a slap in the face to Germans who ever donated time or money to project Gutenberg. Personally, I had never done that, so I had the luxury of being able to just turn away in bewilderment. I do give money to archive.org though, and sincerely hope they will never pull crap like that.
One really useful thing about marginalia (research project) and kagi (production grade search engine) is that have proved that Googles, Bings (and DDGs) problems hasn't been just because the old stuff had disappeared but because it wasn't prioritized.

I had begun suspecting that the reasons for the mediocre results lately was because the web was in fact broken but now I now I used to be right: it was just a matter of what they chose to prioritize.

The line of thought you are expressing here really reminds me of the work on Zombie, a research language that Stephanie Weirich, among many others, worked on. In particular was the dissertation research by Chris Casinghino. He gave a talk at Boston Haskell [1] that has some really well argued points that argue for your perspective in many respects.

I concur with the experience of dealing with IBM sales.

Years ago my client wanted me to checkout out IBM mobile app builder - Worklight, The pricing wasn't available on website and so I had to contact them. Soon I was reached out by their sales department and before I could get any details on the pricing I was speaking with VP of sales.

If I remember it correctly, It was priced ~>150K USD and even after repeatedly telling the VP that I was just exploring what their product was, The VP told me he was ready to fly in to my office the same week to 'talk further'. It was weird to end that conversation with them and my client had a good laugh when I shared the experience.

I don't get why IBM finds it hard to deal with Startups, All other behemoths (MS/Amazon/Google etc.) have successfully created products for Startups often by offering generous freebies and 'Pay as you go' plans . Where as IBM still thinks they can slap Fortune 500 pricing on entry-level startups.

I guess as long as those Fortune 500 companies & even Govt. fall for that Watson type products, They don't have a reason to change.
Oh, sorry, misread the generics.

In theory you can do this kind of thing in Java, but you have to give each key its own type (cumbersome because Java doesn't have singleton types) and carry the type parameters arbitrarily far back through the call graph. E.g. imagine writing a function that appends 3 type-length vectors together - in a dependently-typed language you write this as:

def append[T, M, N, L](first: Vec[T, M], second: Vec[T, N], third: Vec[T, L]): Vec[T, M + N + L] = ...

In Java you'd have to write this as:

<T, M, N, L, P, R> Vec<T, P> append (first: Vec<T, M>, second: Vec<T, N>, third: Vec<T, L>, isSum1: IsSum<M, N, P>, isSum2: IsSum<P, L, R>) { ... }

And as you write more and more code you have exponentially more type parameters, because you have no way to just evaluate functions of type parameters, so you have to pass markers that represent all of your type relationships right from the initial input part of your program all the way down.
Idris is a truly delightful languge. It’s very comfortable coming from ML style languages; though i wish the stdlib was a little more complete…
> Then why don’t companies adopt a flatter structure with higher compensated engineers? The goal of a company is to make money after all.

Let's not forget that companies aren't real sentient beings, do not really take decisions and do not really have their own interest. They are legal fictions. Trying to understand the behavior of a company based on its self interest can therefore be misleading.

Why do bureaucracies develop? Why is Google launching yet another chat app? Why are so many companies disrupted by new techs instead of adapting? All this is against their interest after all.

Companies are ultimately led and controlled by many individuals, in pursuit of their own individual interest (mostly). Some groups of individuals within a company have more control than others, and will consequently bend the company toward what's in their own interest.

I'm not versed into sociology of organisations, but from a cursory look at some big corp internals it seems to me that this easily explains the frequent growth in numbers and importance of the coterie with the more agency over hiring, regardless of whether it's good or bad for the company as a whole, ie the growth of middle management cancer.

100%, was just about to comment this. Combined with WebAssembly, we're going to see a brand new distribution channel emerge to distributing compute intensive apps (especially real-time 3D ones!) in Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.

Look out Steam, because traditional desktop apps like games and even VR applications will start migrating to the web, because that's where users are. My startup Wonder Interactive is working on exactly this.

Very bad memory!

But still, I don't need to be reminded upon each single command who am I, or where I am. It is better to display this information on the window title, or just run "pwd" in the rare cases where I feel lost.
To be fair, any JSON implentation is going to have a practical limit on the key size, it's just a bit more random and harder to figure out :)
I understand your first point. However, the true question is if the OP actually loves the person he's with, or if instead he is just using her. First case, work on the relationship, second case stop.

Concerning the second point, it depends on many things. Probably if you had already a CS background and are pursuing a PhD in CS, your situation could be different. But if you pursued a PhD in the humanities (including economics) there are a lot of things you need to learn to be useful in tech.
I think finding and firing up my old Atari 400 is a bit much more than I want to get into, especially given how little I'll probably actually do with it when finally set up. But I DO wish I'd kept ahold of my old ATARI and ANTIC magazines, just to peruse again. I spent hours poring over those when they were new.
It almost is as if someone repurposed YAML as a query language, which I guess is doable since SQL is also a declarative language, which YAML is used for a lot as well.

But I can’t help but feel like this is basically a different way to describe the same constructs as we have in SQL. It almost feels like a query builder’s syntax.

To me, the real improvements over SQL are when they part ways with its constructs, such as seen in for example Datalog.
TL;DR Don’t overuse const. Agree.

haha, I can go on lengthy rants about every single configuration management system that I have used.

My dream configuration system should revert to default when the config is removed (keeping data). Have a simple/easy user interface. Have maintained modules with sane defaults for the 500 most common server software. I would rather there be no module than an abandoned one with unsafe defaults, that way it is clear that I would have to maintain my own if I want to use that particular piece of software. Performant, it really shouldn't take more than a few minutes to apply a config change. No more than 30 min for initial run.
