Django/Rails comparison is a bit short I would argue, Redwood lacks a lot of their backend capabilities (Active Storage, mailing solution, jobs, Action Cable).
it's harmful because it when it is wrong, then it can cause a lot of damage to the relationship. what we think others are feeling is always based on our own feelings. the reason it works, because most of the time, their feelings don't actually matter.

when bumping into a stranger, assume best intentions, apologize or say something else appropriate and move on. who cares what they actually think or feel.

the closer the person is, the more communication is warranted.
It's nuts that some people have to consider joining the military to be able to pay for tuition and/or to get health care. I have nothing to contribute other than expressing how soul crushing this seems for someone outside the US.
1. He chose to join in 2007 - during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Those are both wars that, in my opinion and the opinion of many others (evident by the massive protests at the time) the British should not have been involved in.

2. In my opinion, anybody that joins the army when they aren't defending against an invasion (i.e. someone who travels thousands of miles to fight another country nowhere near their own) has a screw loose. There are times when fighting is necessary (e.g. WW2, Ukraine/Russia). There have been few of those times recently.

3. I have friends who have friends + relatives in the military. I've met those people at social events. I can't obviously say they represent all people in the military but the ones I've met have all been racist, homophobic and worse. Again, I believe you have to have a certain mentality to join the military when your country isn't actually at risk and this has been bore out by the people I've met.

4. The British military has committed countless crimes and atrocities over the last 50 years. I can't respect anyone who would decide to be part of that institution when it is not necessary to be.
I would assume by default that any "policy-relevant" science is poisoned by some CoI, unless proven otherwise, with few exceptions.
I think the majority of the convenience of structural typing can be had with explicit casting between structurally equivalent types. It eases pressure on the type checker (checking that two types are structurally equivalent is pretty quick, checking that any expression satisfies something structurally is a little harder) and gets you ultimately what a programmer wants - convenience.
I think the most likely mid-tier outcome will be that in about 25 years or so, the grand majority of cars on the road will be EV, but that industrial companies will primarily use ICE vehicles, and for road trips and other such short term, long-distance, time essential driving events ICE vehicles will be typically available for rent.
The most important thing to realize about military service is that you sign away all your citizenship rights (free speech, etc.) when you sign up for the service. Hopefully you won't be used in ridiculous debacles like the 2003 Iraq Invasion, based on lies about WMDs pushed by Washington (and see British role as well), but you'll have no say in the matter.

The other thing to realize is that, at least in the USA, they'll do everything they can to deny you medical benefits for injuries suffered in basic training, and this will persist after you get out, i.e. Veteran's Administration health care is pretty poor by all accounts. You can't just trust the system to look out for your interests in this area.

In addition, the 'educational assistance' is barely enough for a two-year vocational training program, certainly nowhere near enough for a full four-year college degree. It's better than nothing, certainly, but the advertising and the reality have a big disconnect.

If you're a teenage with zero alternative options and are completely desperate for a way out of an urban slum nightmare or a poverty-stricken rural life, the military is there as an option. I was once in a similar situation but I rejected military service because I'd heard too many Vietnam vets tell horror stories about how they'd been treated by the military. It wasn't much better for those who had to serve more recently in Afghanistan and Iraq, for equivalently dubious reasons.

If cars were licensed like enterprise software, they would detect how many seats were in use for the trip, and we'd have to pay per seat.

(shhhhh don't give them any ideas)

I've had a satellite radio button in my cars for years, but never subscribed. The hardware is there to receive the satellite radio, so it's a content (and software) license I'm missing. Do people not complain about that because satellite radio is not seen as a feature intrinsic to the car?
That's the power of Epic Games' deep pockets.

Many people developing UE games need 3D assets, so Epic bought Quixel, a 3D asset store:

http://www.cgchannel.com/2019/11/epic-games-acquires-quixel/

Also people need to share their 3D models for colleagues, marketing, fans, etc. to look at. Quixel was using them internally anyway, so Epic bought Sketchfab:

https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/news/sketchfab-is-now-p...

And people want to create their own 3D assets, so Epic bought the company that Quixel was using for 3D scanning, called Capturing Reality:

https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/news/capturing-reality-...

And now you can go from reality to virtual twin to realtime 3D visualization without ever leaving Epic Games' servers.
You can use RedwoodJS API as the backend for Next. There are several startups with multi-client products including a Next front-end as one of many.
This limit was(/is) actually a common problem with HTTP/1.1, and was one of the motivations for HTTP/2. A common workaround is "domain sharding"[1] where you would split your site up between several domains, so that you could get more concurrent connections. Which is important for improving page load time, but doesn't really help with having SSE for multiple tabs (unless you do something crazy like using a randomly generated domain for each SSE connection).

I'm pretty sure that almost nowhere is the left lane designated as a faster lane, the only exceptions I can think of are steep hills, and have explicit signage.

AFAIK, the normal rule (certainly in NJ and TX where I've actually researched) is, when there are more than one lane in a direction, "keep right except to pass". It doesn't matter at all how fast or slow you're going. If you're not actively passing, you should move over to the right. You don't get to say "I was doing the speed limit, and nobody should go faster, therefore I'm the faster traffic that is entitled to the left lane".

Personally, I blame the Eagles for popularizing the song Life in the Fast Lane, and thus bringing that mis-characterization into common usage.
I mean, that was sort of my question. If the performance is decent then why would you not write hardware specific code, especially when operating at cloud scale like Cloudflare. I think I just lack a good understanding of the complexity at hand.
I haven't heard of any method to test the model apart from statistical analysis of reference /training data.

The model is what gets continually updated and is the critical path that needs coverae, Testing interfaces are trivial and at times not critical to test if already running in production for a while (you probably have already caught most/all issues and know what to test or take care of in a interface rewrite).

It is not about impossible, here is an example, let's say you are working on English speech-to-text model, the next version works better in your set of benchmarks.

It could for example perform very poorly (compared to your previous model) for accented English or mixed with other languages, for older people or in noisy environments like a car, or for for specific subjects like medical/legal dictation and so on and since your benchmarks originally didn't cover these types of scenarios you wouldn't know one way or another.

These were real cases all added to speech-to-text models after user feedback and adequate demand being identified and research effort put in, and now training/benchmark data includes these. There are plenty of scenarios not yet solved (mixing two languages is active area of research) or not included because user feedback didn't capture it, of not yet worth solving.

Neural network testing is hard because by design they have millions(and these days billions) of parameters as inputs and you cannot feasibly test every possible outcome, you will not know what all things to check until people start using your app in ways you never thought off.

NN /ML is not hard requirement this is true for any complex systems. Shazam type fingerprinting for example is just spectrography and Fourier transforms, NN is just newest tool devs use. All complex systems with thousands and above parameters have same problems
There's denial of service, which wastes server resources, reducing the accessibility to humans interested in the content.
To be fair, a country that is able to defend its people is unlikely to actually ever need to. And the more able the country is, the less likely it will need to defend itself.

You don't need to be an absolutist to be pretty disgusted with Twitter censorship.
The MNT Reform has the potential to be the laptop we all want, but speed is an issue.

The cost relative to speed is high. I think the other laptops mentioned are probably better in this regard, but I think they still live on the same supply chain that is incentivized to produce unserviceable, overly thin, borderline thin-client machines.
Not if the battery is structural like Tesla, which was done to simplify building and reduce weight.
> You just give them the fucking food, education, and healthcare. Look at the current US military budget and tell me that's impossible.

It’s impossible.

Here is some analysis:

Remote to your desktop from your laptop and never worry about losing/breaking the laptop. I've spent little over a year on a job where i remote desktop'd to office computer from home in a WFH scenario. Was perfectly doable and stable.

In this way you won't need the laptop at all and can use a nice tablet. I'm thinking of going this way, but not quite there yet.
To be anal, it's not college basketball it's college basketball of NC schools. If there's an NCAA playoff where the locals crash out, it becomes real easy to get tickets.
I disagree. The issue with stalking is that it’s threatening. I don’t think Elon is in any way threatened by this.
I hope that the recent moral turn against all military work in US big tech has abated now with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
> I think they are delusional if they think they can be 100% productive with a toy computer.

I seriously doubt many who are working in a coffee shop are even trying to be "100% productive" or they wouldn't be there in the first place.

Ultimately I agree with you, but for most laptops are "good enough". Dock them when at home, use them as intended when out and about.
Yes, indeed! And then posted to YouTube https://youtube.com/redwoodjs
Maybe I'm looking up the wrong thing but these basically list the classes and method names and hotlink to the code?

I mean something that would dump them all into, one contiguous "file" from the editor's perspective. Included components (I don't want to say classes because it could work in a functional language or maybe you just don't include full classes but certain methods) wouldn't have to be coupled to the main class you're editing. Like if you have a decoupled event system you could pull in just the events relevant to the idea you're working on. You could have different views depending on what idea you're working on and save them as their own file.

To use the gamedev analogy again you could have MonsterCombat.view MonsterAI.view MonsterAnimations.view which would all expose different subsets of the Monster class and various related methods from other classes/modules.
Or another way to look at it: there's now screen around the notch and that's more useful than that area being just black glass instead. The menu bar used to eat into your screen, but now it's wrapped around the notch in that area and you have more screen for other things.
She was explicitly happy about dying, and explicitly said everyone should be happy when she dies because she'd be in heaven with God. There's a big difference between moving on after someone dies, and being happy that they've died.
Interesting.

There are several furry art communities listed, but Fur Affinity is not. Fur Affinity is the largest and most popular of these by a fair margin.

Unrelated to the furry websites the above, there are some nsfw websites listed but other, more popular ones are strangely missing. (The word "porn" does not appear in the list.)

redditenhancementsuite.com is also listed... which I did not expect.

I suspect this list is run through a keyword filter and a blacklist before anything is added.
Before the 2001 invasion, Afghanistan was ruled by the Taliban.

Invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a different matter. At that point, Iraq didn't have WMD, and wasn't harbouring Al Qaeda, so the invasion was unjustified.

No, I don't think Lua (or the author) is inlining the external function.

What's being JIT'd is the Lua code into machine code, and where Lua would need to call a C function, it (apparently) is just emitting a `call the_external_fn` into the JIT's resulting assembly. That's a direct function call, so it's about as fast as you're going to get, but somewhat counter-intuitively, it'll be faster than C, as we don't do anything with the PLT or indirection. Just call the function.
I seem to remember this was used by emacs' mode embedding the w3m browser. It was great to read long structured documentation sites by just pressing space-bar to "scroll" through pages.
I’ve never left desktop computers and laptops are terrible for your posture.
What you are discussing in regards to free speech is again, by your admission, just a concept, not a law. All that matters is the law. Until its made law it has no bearing on the actions of a company. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act means that whether you want to call them an editor or whatever, legally they are not responsible. The law is the law until it is changed, everything else is just an opinion.

Do you think homeless shelters and food stamps are a positive? It's clearly a tragedy that we need them, but I'd say they are very clearly a positive.
So I've been working on a personal project which is in a mix of C++ and TypeScript -- partially because of practicality and partially to learn TypeScript, and I'm really liking the language.

One question I have is whether there's any possibility that TypeScript could, in the long run, gain performance advantages over pure JS? That the compiler could leave behind some type information artifacts so that V8 (or similar) could use that information at runtime to optimize method dispatch and other operations?

Likewise with the flow pieces mentioned here, I gotta think that the VM could optimize out certain runtime checks on dispatch or conditional branching if it knows that the compiler has already checked for these?
In the UK lots of people max out their overdraft and spend some time travelling after uni. They then pay this back when they get good grad jobs - e.g. like the OP.

Regardless - if you cannot afford to do some travelling after uni, spending time in a war zone is hardly a sound alternative.

> Friendly reminder that getting out of all those pesky nuclear arms control treaties meant a greatly reduced reaction time on both sides. And having 15 instead of 45 minutes to react to a detected launch makes errors naturally a lot more likely.

Could you be more specific about the treaties?

It kind of sounds like you're talking about the INF treaty given the comment about reaction time, but IIRC that treaty never covered submarine-launched missiles and a treaty isn't any good if it's not actually complied with (e.g. the Wikipedia page lists a decade of alleged violations prior to withdrawal, and furthermore the treaty didn't bind all relevant powers).

The headline is very general, but the article is mostly a thorough takedown of one bad study and how it was reported in the media.

(I expect it's part of a larger pattern, but the article doesn't really show this.)
One issue with reserves, especially army. Through the iraq/afghanistan deployments BOG time was way up (ie, your service commit is not just that weekend a month). BOG = Boots on ground time.

In afghanistan Army deployments (both active and reserve) were far higher than other service branches.

My quick understanding is that normally they would like to target 1/4 BOG/Dwell time. So if you are thinking of reserves, particularly army, be asking, could I be gone 12 months out of 48, with potential for more?

What's that about? Is this meant to cast doubt on the reliability of the speaker?

> I can imagine a lot of scenarios where there might be an unacceptable amount of spin going on

Ok well, I am going to take Flickr's word as stated until I have reason to believe otherwise, I don't see any reason to speculate on arbitrary alternative scenarios, Flickr doesn't have a history of lying about support issues as far as I am aware.

> That the data is truly unwanted.

There's not really a way to reasonably assess if that's the case besides what the owner of the account communicates.
Usually you have your own room to work in.
I guess the inclusion of Murray (the talking skull) makes The Curse of Monkey Island canon then? :)
It's a pretty lame point. We're fine with spending on members of the military because, at any point, they may have to put their lives on the line for the rest of us. National defense isn't something you can prepare for after you need it.

There are valid arguments to be made for society banding together and providing health care for everyone. "but the military gets it" isn't one of them.
I know mine has a MacroSilicon chip in it as well, but that's just part of the story.
This paper appears to be criticizing just one specific study and there’s no support for the broader conclusion in the headline that such studies are “mostly” fraudulent.

Not to mention this paper notes in its conclusion that the study in question was already roundly criticized at the time (see the paragraph beginning with “[t]he public arena is at least somewhat self-correcting”), so it’s not clear what is being added to the discourse, other than unsupported generalizations.
I would love to hear what you think would happen to you if you had openly discussed the equality of man irrespective of race in the "public" town square in a southern plantation town in the 1850s.

I would further love to hear what you think would happen if you did that while committing the "crime" of being black.

Getting made fun of on Twitter seems like a substantially less severe consequence than what would happen if you proposed radical ideas in the "public town square" throughout history.
Does it support wbsockets ?

I am thinking of implementing something like: https://www.viget.com/articles/phoenix-and-react-a-killer-co...

Would it be feasible in RedwoodJS with or without websockets ?
It's not a technical limitation though, which is the thrust of the convo regarding Doom's lack of ray tracing or other fancy effects. Doom was low budget as well but still hired artists. As far as I'm concerned, making a game without an artist is like designing a static HTML webpage in 2022. Yes it will work, but is below the expected standards.
That’s the beauty, the client just do a normal HTTP request. It really simplify the system.
These are real issues, but I don't think we need to give Twitter full power as arbiter of society's speech in order to curb them.
Ya, it's a real organizational management and national service tragedy.

So much of the technical modernization is getting pushed towards the R/NG units, and you can just see how that will go short/mid term. This is paired with a common refrain from vets in tech that the pay and lifestyle is great but the work is pretty empty, so they'd look to do something else. But, they also know the meaningless silliness they'd sign up for by going back into the R/NG, let alone active duty. So, they land in defense contractors or SV startups doing defense tech, and straddle a middle ground that's not much better. The good ones won't go to the big defense contractors either.

Therefore, given that the recruitment target is a populace that has lived fairly simple lives in duty stations around the US, are happy earning something over $100k and calling it a day, and have pretty firm moral views on the importance and value of service the inability to capture this population back into public service due to the lack of any form of sane incentives is maddening to watch. Even discussing the pay is hard - the general populace and their representatives in congress (I say this reading OPEDs via them, although it is def anecdotal) can't believe that $70k is too low pay for an engineer to leave private sector. I'll stop this rant here, but my dream is someone in power finally starts understanding it's only (1) pay, (2) work geography matching modern tech centers, (3) drug policies from the 1950's keeping the talent out in aggregate.
