I feel like there are advantages to making it `async function`, even if it's superfluous, because it signals to readers and to static code analysis that the function returns a promise. That's assuming the return type of fetch(...) can't be inferred by static analysis and developer tooling.
That is not what the article says. The article says: ‘you have to buy a lot of mosquito nets to save a life’ I am sure they spend some money on legal overhead not to mention on corruption in the countries they work in, but that doesn’t change the basic economics.
I’m not arguing against it - I’m arguing that people who are focused on the idea of releasing the code are miscalibrated on the marginal impact of doing so given a lack of domain knowledge.

The net suggestion is to demand more, and start describing solutions, today, to get data visibility without compromising other things, to help offset the inevitable objections that will come once people are forced to demand it when they realize the code didn’t really solve the fundamental problem.
In the EU does that budget go to recipients or administrators and people working with recipients rather than recipients getting money themselves? Which system applies assistance more directly?
> What someone feels about their identity

The meaning of "identity" has changed over the last 10 years in two distinct ways. First, the number of identities has increased (which is great), and second, my identity is a stick with which I can beat up others (which is not fine).

The most common and visible "stick" takes the form of creating a new pronoun to represent my identity and forcing others to use it, lest they be labelled a bigot. This strategy is coercive and antisocial. You change language and then use the threat of attack to enforce the change. (The argument that without the change, people are disrespected, or unable to express their identity, is simply false. This is why God created adjectives! Foot fetishists don't need a pronoun.) It is authoritarian in the sense that you brook no argument, and accept only submission. Anything else means (social) death. This is a leftist authoritarian power play, and I resist it totally.

There are secondary "sticks", like when liberals think it's okay to let trans women compete with bio women, especially in sports that are dangerous, like MMA. That's not okay, it will never be okay, and I would have though that was obvious, but a sentiment like that will get you labelled transphobic. There seems to be some sort of slippery slope effect at play, which makes every argument all or nothing - the possibility that you might respect and like transwomen (as I do) AND be against them participating in competitive sports (as I am) isn't a reasonable possibility in the current climate. Ironically, and sadly, this bad position weakens the path to trans acceptance.

All that said, none of this matters if we're all dead, so better to focus on fixing climate, nukes, and authoritarianism.
So just like every other chip.

Qanon is a better example of lots of people believing some really outlandish stuff and aligning it closely with politics.

Flat earth is also interesting because it tends to be correlated with strongly religious.
The company I work for is desperately hurting for older, more experienced developers. We use very mature tech (to put it charitably) - Java/Spring, Python/Django, C++ for OS interfacing parts - and we are having trouble filling roles for junior and senior software engineers.

Part of that is the company is insisting on going hybrid after the pandemic, so they filter out full remote candidates for long term positions.

To connect to the article, we have three questions in our interview that lasts an hour and a half - in one of which the candidate is given a small program with a bug and we see how they troubleshoot it - the idea is not to fix it, it's to see how they think.
Dots allow any character though. I don't have a scrabble5.txt so I'm using /usr/share/dict/words and using the dots resulted in the capitalized words (proper names) and words with apostrophes being included.
I have Photoshop because it comes along for the ride with Lightroom but there are a fair number of times when I want simple cropping or resizing and/or maybe one or two very basic operations. For things like that, pulling out Photoshop feels like pulling out a shotgun to swat a fly in that not only is it massive overkill but it's not even a good tool for the job.
It's easy to do two things at once when you can ask two different entities to do them for you (threads).

What's hard is thinking about how to coordinate the work they are doing for you: when to consider them done, how to ask them if they did the work successfully, what to do if they need to use the same tool at some point during the work etc.
(Render founder) Were you trying the free tier? Builds are significantly faster on paid plans. I'd certainly appreciate more context: email in profile.
>This vehicle, along with others in the motorcade, may also provide laser warning (used by some anti-tank guided missiles) and radar warning for the convoy. If a threat is detected, such as one using a laser for designation and ranging, or if a threat radar were detected, IR smoke, chaff and targeted jamming could be deployed, disrupting such an attack.

This suggests that if someone pointed a powerful laser at the vehicle, it would deploy countermeasures. I don't suggest anyone do that, but wouldn't we have seen something like this by now?
Again, I’ll control that by curating my own follow set. I don’t need some algorithm to crowdsource for me. That’s the last thing I want.
Can strongly identify with this - at school I had a very artistic friend who introduced me to Rotring pens - crazily expensive but beautiful writing implements. I still recall making crystal clear interlinear notes in textbooks using the smallest nib I possessed (0.2 mm iirc) and there was a real aesthetic joy in this, heightened by the distinctive smell of the ink they used.
You should get some copyright holder to sue them for it. You’d think some band would want to join the cause and if it is an aggravated case they could get fined $150,000.

Here's a few. The docs link to some others that may also be useful...

Promise.resolve()

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

You can use this in place of new Promise() (though you rarely need it, as an async function automatically wraps any non-promise return value in a promise.)

----------

Promise.all()

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

For making requests in parallel, and returning when all have been successful.

----------

Promise.allSettled()

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

For making requests in parallel, and returning when all have completed whether successful or not.

----------

Promise.any()

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

For making requests in parallel, and returning the first successful response.

--------

As mentioned in sibling comment, things like fetch and DB calls return promises anyway, so the above are mostly only useful for working with multiple other promises.

It used to be the case that a compiler compiled itself to bare metal machine instructions, but now with so many cpu instruction set targets that's no longer the case. LLVM uses an intermediate language like an assemby language. Another way to look at it is the TypeScript compiler compiles itself which is written in TypeScript but the intermediate language is JavaScript. V8 handles the translation of JavaScript to machine code, similar to LLVM translating LLVM IR to machine code
Gold is a finite resource, like any other natural resource. The cost of gold is partially formed by the land purchase of the mining company paid. One can not just start digging and increase the supply of gold. You need land first and it need to be one of a few special locations on earth where such mining is profitable.

I don't think the distinction being present are convinceing me. I can agree that undeveloped natural resources might need to be treated differently than developed resources, on that ground that undeveloped natural resources are inherently limited, scares and in general useless unless developed. Undeveloped land don't serve anyone except as an investment, and thus special rules might be needed.

I will also say that while I can agree that people should not form emotional attachments to objects, and I will include here any object, it is part of human behavior to do so. Be that a house, car, boat, jewelry, guitar, a sport players T-shirt, or what have you. For most people a house is just a house. For others it a family heirloom, built and maintained for hundred of years by the same family. We don't generally repurpose objects in order to benefit the greatest number of people, and I doubt there is a very strong support for that.
It's amazing how these trash authors keep doing this, find individual who talks about conspiracy or believes in weird stuff and tie him to Trump or Rush or voted certain side, it helps keep their readers in their bubble.

No. This sounds like a sales pitch for Telegram.

Forcing people to create or sign in with an account is bad, particularly when one considers that the ISO is of questionable legality.

I haven't read the article due to the paywall, but was it actually risky? Apple had already proven they could make high-performant chips ever since the A4 in the iPhone 4. It was a long effort, sure, but given the tight integration between hardware and software Apple has, I wouldn't classify their effort as risky.
> Each operation adds a little bit of error to the quantity that is being processed. This could be the voltage in an electronic analog computer, or the state coefficients in a quantum computer.

This brings us back to the Quantum threshold theorem, which says that it's possible to design a quantum computer so that you can perform as many operations as you like without accumulating additional error, as long as individual gates in the quantum computer have a bounded amount of error.

This is one of the reasons why thinking of a quantum computer as "analog" will lead you astray. Quantum computers are more like classical digital computers than like analog computers.

Definitely not a good idea. Source code gets sprinkled around a lot of locations with varying security

- it's stored locally (so any developer machine access could compromise secrets)

- it's stored on the build/CI machines (that might run untrusted code in the form of dependencies--possibly from unrelated repos)

- it can end up in build artifacts
This is really exciting, but would these RASC cells only affect emphysema COPD subtype? There's the other branch (chronic bronchitis), and the millions afflicted with asthma whose main struggle is airway narrowing/hardening/hyperresponsiveness - it doesn't sound from this overview that it would likely help, but any advance we can make in our cellular understanding of pulmonary disease is hugely important.

Can you name such accidents specifically? I just stated a figure from the Japanese Ministry of trade, and that seems to be the radioactive cleanup and paying of benefits etc.. while there is another figure that decommissioning the plant will cost about 750 billion US Dollars.

A particular problem are millions of square meters of radio-active top-soil and where to store it. Yes, those problems have not been solved yet, and most evacuees have not yet returned and will probably never return. No amount of propaganda will convince them that the site is safe after the "safe" reactor blew up and contaminated everything. Meanwhile nuclear power has become really unpopular in Japan. People like you will dismiss this as irrational fear. Or is it irrational that you think that the future risk is a) actually quantifiable and b) tolerable? Because neither of these is scientific consensus.

The Haskell GHC compiler is written mostly in Haskell. Rust's compiler is also written in Rust, these days. TypeScript's compiler is in TypeScript.

It's a pretty common state of affairs, actually. Often arises out of the second or third implementation of the compiler being much better than the first attempts, probably coupled with the momentum of people using the language who can contribute to the tooling because it's in the same language.
Exactly, and that's the problem. This stuff has to last much longer. It didn't.

I'm from an Asian country and I'm an only child so my relationship with my parents is similar to my relationship with some of my close friends.

This isn't always true of Asian families; I have a friend in the same boat as me but I also have one who has an extremely strained relationship with her parents due to their conservative and unchanging views on things.

Netflix has generally amazing latency, I can feel that the engineers work really hard on fixing all latency issues, except when it totally fails: offline mode.

I always have some films downloaded on my iPad Pro that I want to watch when I don't have internet (travelling on long plane flight), and with Netflix always the best films that I want to watch are ,,expired''. It would take 1 second to ,,renew'' them, but I have to wait until the end of the flight to have internet access again, and then I forget it, as I don't look at downloads anymore. It's really frustrating that I see that I have something downloaded, taking space on my SSD, but can't be used when I need it.

I wish it could just renew the video certificates automatically whenever I access the internet, and generally it would be great to have better analysis tools for offline / crappy internet for companies.

Usually I use Youtube more on the plane, because it doesn't play these games with me.
