> JavaScript. Brendan Eich implemented the first prototype for JavaScript in 10 days, in May 1995. It shipped in beta in September of that year.

I have a bit of a love have relationship with this one. It was inspired by two languages, Self and Scheme, that are both incredibly beautiful, was then made ugly to be familiar and since then introduced major churn and bloat that was never needed.

---

Imagine a world where HTML, CSS and JS were all just a unified language, with sound, simple primitives at the bottom, extensibility (macros, schema...) built-in, and a well designed standard library.

Think of how much more productive developers would be, the possible performance optimizations in browser engines, much simpler tooling, less arbitrary choices, less hacks and workarounds. We would have more time to create useful and beautiful things than solve problems we imposed on us ourselves.

Even if "we" figure out how the animal-jump can occur, it's not like "we" can stop it or even predict it.

As I understand it, that's true in the simple case. If you have `my_app -> foo -> bar` then there's only one path to bar, and you only get a new bar when you upgrade foo.

It's more complicated in general, with diamond dependencies. There needs to be a chain of module updates between you and foo, with the minimum case being a chain of length one where you specify the version of foo directly.

So, people do need to pay attention to security patch announcements. But popular modules, at least, are likely to be get updated relatively quickly, because only one side of a diamond dependency needs to notice and do a release.
A lot of places do this, whether it is "allowed" or not. But my understanding is that after much push and pull between merchants and processors, most processors do allow it.

Is it? I think of this the same way I think of the empty public bus. The bus consumes the same amount of gas on it's route no matter how many people are on it. Empty or full...same energy usage (or at least a negligible difference).
You can't look at the asking price and assume it aligns with the current market. Often they will put low-ball askings to get more eyeballs on their listing. Their agent should of informed them of realistic offers.

The GPU shader could in theory be rendering into a tile that gets squirted out to the screen by the RAMDACs and then reused, but I think you're right that in practice the GPU has at least one full-screen framebuffer, usually two or, dismayingly, three. Often the monitor has an additional two or three!

I'm not sure it's fair to charge that framebuffer to the browser, though. The windowing system needs to use the same 31MB before you start the browser up, after all.

I don't know the answer to your question about mainstream desktop OSes and space allocation for shaders for windows that aren't being displayed. Maybe someone who knows more than you or me can chime in.

> As someone noted above we were already a 90-95% cashless society before contactless payments took over.

That's not what the term cashless society is usually used to convey though. If you really wanted, you could've been operating largely cashless ever since credit cards became widely accepted (1970s?). But even today (at least in the USA) you can still withdraw your whole paycheck in cash and pay everything that way, if you wanted to. So we're fortunately not a cashless society at all.
Yeah.. lots of people keep repeating "but its expensive out of amazon!" and they never tried. Sure, you can find cheaper products on Amazon, but once you start looking around, it's definitely not always the case. But people are lazy, they get multiple amazon packages a week, and love to complain about Bezos but do nothing about it.

>> For example, the Blair governments championed evidence-based policymaking.

Well, the Blair government is remembered for going to war against Iraq on the basis of evidence that was not sufficiently validated and that was later found to be fabricated:

More specifically, the report blamed Secret Intelligence Service (better known as MI6) head Sir Richard Dearlove who presented so-called "hot" intelligence about alleged weapons of mass destruction provided by an Iraqi with "phenomenal access" to high levels in the Iraqi government directly to Blair, without first confirming its accuracy.[43] The investigators found that references to this intelligence in government reports were over-certain and did not adequately stress uncertainties and nuance. The informant was later found to have been lying. The Chilcot report states that "personal intervention [by Dearlove] and its urgency gave added weight to a report that had not been properly evaluated and would have coloured the perception of ministers and senior officials".[44] The day after the report was published, Blair conceded that he should have challenged such intelligence reports before relying on them to justify military action in Iraq.[43][45]

You want this guy to be put in jail over his childish joke domain name, and he’s supposed to be the bad guy? Look in the mirror.
I think what people are looking for in ‘explainable AI’ is: when the AI makes a bad decision, they want to be able to look into the neural network and say ‘there: that neuron being set to that value is what made the AI mistake the cyclist for a drop kerb’. Then we can fix the value and the AI will not make that mistake again.

But when an AI gets sufficiently complex of course there won’t be explanations that make sense for those kinds of errors, because just like a human the AI is integrating lots of different bits of information that it has learned are important and it has limited capacity and sometimes it just gets its attention focused on the wrong thing and it just didn’t see the guy, okay?

Demanding that AI be explainable is fundamentally demanding that it not be intelligent.
That's fine, Go isn't meant to be used in many domains.

Also: perhaps not every planet like Earth would have developed intelligence; we could have been lucky.
Honestly the lack of research publicly available investigating dry flower cannabis vaping makes me sad. There's basically nothing.
Honestly, from what I've seen indie game development is sorely lacking for an easy real time dashboard display/input.

being able to expose variables, edit them and see them update live, and maybe even rewind your game to retest different scenerios would be so helpful to many games.
People get very emotional about this. So, maybe instead of it being “signal” it was instead: “closed chat app”.

I have an issue with closed chat app. My issue is that it’s closed, but often pretends to be secure.

I can’t be sure it is secure, because they pay lip service to open source, they also integrate another Foreign (to me) companies binary SDK which is also not open source.

They’re also a closed system, meaning that they have direct network effects and have been hostile to third party implementations of clients.

The protocol is documented (somewhat homegrown, more like an evolution of something existing), and the server is “open”, but it’s not possible to actually use these things.

The politics of the founder are sometimes in question. They’re also foreign to me and have had brushes with their nations law enforcement. Whether I can trust them shouldn’t be my concern- if the service were open it would not be.

So, I personally don’t believe in it.

I would _rather_ have a small collection of TLS irc servers or zulip servers, because lots of small targets is better than a big centralised one; Better than that is matrix which is properly federated.

Tell me though, was I talking about signal, whatsapp or telegram?

They all suffer the same problems and people like to bicker about their personal favourite; forgetting that you shouldn’t be throwing in to this kind closed ecosystem with its stupid network effects.

> The research was done in the living room of an off-campus apartment of an undergraduate student who came up with the idea, according to Professor S. Katharine Hammond, who oversaw the study and co-wrote the report with graduate student Patton Khuu Nguyen. The subjects were students who supplied their own cannabis and bong of their choosing. They were not observed while partaking of the bong in the apartment. They were aware their recreational usage was being measured but remained anonymous throughout.

> The experiment ran for two months in 2018 and served as the master’s project for Nguyen. Hammond, a tenured professor who has been at UC Berkeley for 28 years, was his faculty adviser.
Made the shift to Fastmail a few months back with all my custom domains. Created a free Google account and use Fastmail as my mail server. I still like the Gmail experience but can exit if need to. I was using G-suite legacy for about 10 years. Change has made me migrate away from reliance on Google. I don't have a problem paying for something. I never needed or wanted online office. Just email and custom domains.
There's a lot of text in that e-mail. The text you're referring to is perfectly positioned to be almost invisible -- it's in the last paragraph intermingled with the standard "if you have any questions, call us on blah blah blah" text. My brain skipped the rest of that paragraph the first 5 times I skimmed the e-mail.
That's fine if you've already downloaded it, but doesn't help for people trying to pull it for the first time, either as a direct or transitive dependency.
They don’t go unused. Typically the separate address calculation and load will get merged back together during instruction selection is there is an applicable instruction. (Although that may not happen either—the compiler might transform the code to get rid of the array indexing. Keeping around the base pointer takes an additional register.)

But on x86 and ARM these instructions are limited. On x86, a load instruction can have a prefix that treats one operand as the array base pointer, and another operand as the index. But the size of the array element is limited to 8 bytes so if your array elements are say 16 byte structs, you can’t use those instructions. As to ARM, I think it doesn’t have an array indexing instruction at all, just base + offset.
You don't 'need' the fed. The country lasted 150 years without one, and shortly (less than 20 years) after its introduction, a deflationary cycle and great depression ensued. The fed preventing a deflationary cycle has been thoroughly and mercilessly disproven.

Either the fed is powerless to stop the economic crisis we've suffered, or they're too incompetent to manage them. Either way it looks like they need dissolved.

We are fairly far from AGI, and the current systems of ML are insufficient to arrive there. We have to also make progress on semantic processing.

>For that matter, what basis is there to think that firsthand cannabis smoking does not have similar long-term health consequences as tobacco smoking?

The vast majority of tobacco is consumed in the form of cigarettes, which are more of a "tobacco product" than actual tobacco. There is a plethora of additives and most cigarettes are actually composes of a nasty cardboard-like filler[0] which has been soaked in a processed tobacco broth. Whereas smoked marijuana is typically just dried plant matter.

So without saying which may be better or worse, there likely is some sort of difference. Plus the growing processes and absorption characteristics of the two plants may produce different amounts of radioactive contaminants which probably contribute to the carcinogenicity of tobacco.

I think crypto has played a role in educating more people to how bad it is to hold USD, low interest rates, printed money combined with that are a recipe for people to get into bidding wars and fomo. Ironically this is bad for Bitcoin because it is denominated in USD. Maybe Bitcoin does go to 1M, but only after a loaf of bread costs 1k.

I'm not suggesting anyone go out and buy a 2br house for 3 million dollars, but I do think that real estate will hold it's value in general much better than USD.

I have never heard of this "one page" rule. Maybe it's meant for those people who cram every detail and buzzword in their resume mistakenly thinking that if they chance on the right combination of words it will help them.

Mine is one and a half. I think it's more important that it's easy to read, if you're trying to fit everything into one page and it becomes dense or overly brief it defeats the purpose of the rule.

These rules are made up employment coaches (or whatever they're called) who need content to write about and want you to hire them for their consulting services.

A Resume is a crapshoot anyway, anyone can put anything they want in it - most of it is unverifiable until tested. As long as you have the required skillset, the important thing is that you don't act weird in the interview.

Rather than Rust, the correct choice here was WUFFS because Apple's explicit purpose here was to Wrangle Untrusted File Formats Safely which is literally why WUFFS is called that.

Unlike Rust, WUFFS isn't a general purpose language it can only express a subset of possible programs. For example, WUFFS can't express the program NSO wanted here ("Provide a way to escape from this sandbox") whereas of course in a general purpose language that would feel annoyingly restrictive. What if you want to escape from the sandbox?

WUFFS is exactly the right tool for, say, parsing a file you received to turn it into an image for display on the iPhone's screen.

Except, of course, if your focus is on features at all costs. If you don't care about security then it sucks that WUFFS can't take a file and maybe overwrite the operating system or whatever.
I understand that the game is being "run" client side... how are the other components (health, ammo counters) talking to each other? Very cool btw!
Something I learned (almost the hard way) was to always make sure I have a Bank/Credit Card's own app installed (and logged in) before trying to add to Apple Pay. Apple Pay can and will redirect you to verification steps in the app if the app is installed. More often than not, if you initiate "Add to Wallet" from the app itself there's no additional verification step.

Oh yeah -- I'm not at all saying Docker is all bad.

* Like you mentioned, increasing interoperability allows the market be more efficient.

* Docker continued the path that VMs started towards making strong isolation even more efficient and accessible.

* Layers and caching are obviously good for resource consumption.

It's just that the original comment seemed to try shaming the Docker creators about what they've built. All they did was try and make something better. And if they didn't, someone else would have.
I find people's opinions on Thiel to be an interesting litmus test: Seeing him as morally bad is one thing, and thinking there shouldn't be billionaires is a reasonable view, but if someone absolutely cannot or will not see that he was the wronged party when Gawker outed him without his consent while he was in a country hostile to LGBTQ+ people, they're morally blinkered at the very least.

People who judge the morality of an action based on characteristics of the people involved have replaced their moral sense with tribal affiliation. That, or they're immature black-and-white thinkers who cannot understand that even someone who is generally bad can be on the right side of a specific issue.

The white paper is really short and pretty damming: https://www.bitdefender.com/files/News/CaseStudies/study/413...
Throughout this page, the author fluidly shifts between conspiracy theories (that the CIA may be controlling Signal), opinions (that for a messaging platform to be good it must be self-hostable), and misdirection (NSLs exist, but it’s noteworthy that if you use a non-US company, the USG doesn’t need a warrant at all to compromise and extract data).

Moxie has been pretty clear about the problem Signal is trying to solve: radically upgrading the security of messaging for the masses. I’d say he’s clearly accomplished that: for the average human, migrating from SMS / email / etc to Signal or WhatsApp will immediately make their communications an order of magnitude more secure.
