If it is a private road on private property, I don't care if it is on a gov't map or not. It should not be listed as a route on any publicly available map service. In fact, it should be required to be explicitly labeled as private property "violaters will be prosecuted" type of thing.
Middle class families keeping enough of their hard-earned salaries to build lives and take care of their children.
It's the opposite - pointing out that X can just as well be implemented in language Y is the irrelevant point because anything can be implemented in any turing complete language.

Where languages differ is what they make easy to use, or first class.

As an example consider Go's autoformatter gofmt. It got released with the language, pushed and marketed as the way to format your code - first class. As a result, virtually all Go code is uniformly formatted. Contrast that with autoformatters in other languages pre-Go. They existed, but often multiple per language, each with hundreds of configuration options, all with minimal uptake in their ecosystems.
IntellijIDEA has a plugin called ReasonML which also works for Ocaml.

> However, because of that choice, replication between regions is asynchronous—meaning the remote replicas are always some number of transactions behind the primary region.

Switching the active is a data loss event.

Or, you can choose to drain the load and wait for the replication to catch up, but that's downtime and not a test of the real failure mechanism.
Not aware of any actual grpc websites but given grpc-web has 6.5k stars on github something must be out there.

Google's websites frequently use binary-like formats where json is just an array of values with no properties, and most of these values are numbers. See for example Gmail.
Intriguing yet terrifying at the same time.
Well I filled it out. Let's see what happens. A lot of these websites have no way to remove personal info or make it very difficult to do so, so this is a minor step in the right direction. For me it's a matter of safety. I used to have a best friend about 15 years ago that got busted for sex crimes with minors and he's due to be released next month. The first thing he's going to do is look me up and find where I live, I guarantee it. I have kids that are around the same age as the minors he violated, so it's a serious concern knowing he can so easily find where I live and potentially harass us or worse.
Cool and thank you! Will definitely attribute to both of you :)
This would require Alabama to offer those services or housing though, it's not so simple to just relocate people to other states.

SF does have a program that will help you travel back to Family in other states/cities, but I don't think they can just ship people to a lower cost location
SIMBL lives on mostly thanks to w0lfschild, see: https://github.com/w0lfschild/MacForgeFramework. This repo hasn't been updated since 2018; I'm not entirely clear whether the most recent versions of MacForge is still based on SIMBL.

The SIMBL on my website uses an unmodified SIMBLAgent binary taken from an older version of w0lfchild's mySIMBL (https://github.com/w0lfschild/mySIMBL). However, I recompiled his SIMBL.osax with 32-bit support added back in, since I use a lot of 32-bit apps: https://github.com/Wowfunhappy/MacForgeFramework

EnvKey looks great!

Only one thing strikes me as unfortunate, which is it seems like it fragments the development process because now your code history is tracked in git but your config history is in EnvKey. It means everything I do is duplicated (for example, tags, branches etc). It isn't clear to me how I would take, for example common operations such as rebasing one git branch on another and replicate the same on the two EnvKey branches involved.

We track all our non-sensitive config in git for this reason - then merging two branches is literally merging the config changes. However, we don't have any of the nice features EnvKey is doing like service restarting, inheritance, secret management etc.

Just curious if I'm missing something here or you have a strategy for what I discuss above?

This idea is good, design is awesome. Here is a little feedback

1. It needs categories. I don't feel motivated to read most of the conversations but if those were related to my interest i definitely would.

2. users should be able to add some bios, who are these people.

3. where it says you can start a conversation there could be a list of experts in my category i can send the question to, not popular people but people who have posted a lot in that category. this can be quora without the spam!

Hey, could you please make your substantive points without putdowns and swipes? The latter are against the site guidelines because they degrade discussion and evoke worse from others - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Your comment would be fine without the first and last sentences.

If you know more than others, that's great - but in that case, please share some of what you know so the rest of us can learn, and drop the putdowns/swipes/name-calling. Then you'll be adding interesting information without poisoning the culture. Having a culture that doesn't poison itself is part of the mandate of this site, and to have a hope of achieving that, we need everyone to help.

So if the entire scheme is to hand out donated money why does it require a cryptocurrency?

That sounds pretty much like what give directly already does. But unless there is some kind of trick played with the currency, you haven't created any revenue stream which enables you to do this indefinitely.

Like it feels like you are making some revolutionary promise, but haven't made any revolutionary innovation that actually enables it. It seems like there's just hand waving around "cryptocurrency" and somehow that enables indefinitely handing out money.

Hard to put a finger on but just doesn't add up to me.

On paper it's a great goal. I wish you luck with it.
This is one of the reasons why people import their camera (apart from different pricing).

It had nothing to do with retail traders being dumb: the CEO was interviewed and he didn't explain that the clearing houses needed more deposit. He could have published all the inner working details so that retail investors can review them, but he didn't do it.

They were literally being nullified in realtime when they were made.

Iraq for sure; Afghanistan was more of a mixed bag, though it became total bullshit because of Iraq (through diversion of effort, alteration of the political context, and other factors stemming from the priority of Iraq.)
It’s currently the latter, but the author believes that this approach could be cleaned up and generalised to also be the former. I believe it would then be a general purpose GC library in Rust that could be used for Rust code or any environment written in Rust.

You'll have to forgive me, but my opinion of the cabal of GME-pumpers hyping the hell out of the stock on Reddit/WallStreetBets is not a group of conspirators I have much faith in.

They create a boogieman who doesn't exist ("The big banks") without actually defining who the hell they are. All the while, they're literally conspiring to Gamma Squeeze the stock up to $1000.

Then they get mad at their crappy brokerage for being crap. (I mean... maybe Robinhood shouldn't have been crap. But everyone knew it was a subpar brokerage built on hype and plenty of SEC complaints before the GME-event of January 2021).

Then one of them named Roaring Kitty gets incredibly rich from the whole situation, sells off a huge chunk of their stocks, goes quiet for a while and apparently is the good guy. A few days in Congressional hearings later, it becomes blatantly obvious that no one knows what they're talking about and here we are now today.

------

I absolutely see a group of conspirators here. And its not "the big banks". I'm not sure what the legality of the whole exercise was (apparently it was legal?), but I'm not exactly seeing much altruism on the "buy buy buy" crowd.

And no. Buying a terribly priced stock when everyone else is buying it isn't "saving the stock market". Its just rocking the boat and pumping the stock price higher. If that's what people want to do with their money that's their business, but don't pretend its some kind of noble effort.

I'm not necessarily going to call the /r/WSB group "evil". But they're certainly not "good" either. And their obsession with finding boogiemen to yell at is dangerous mob-like rhetoric.

------

I get that it was a big social event, that large crowds moved and coordinated together, and they all felt very fun to the participants. But guess what? So was the Anti-COVID19 Trucker Convoy as well as Occupy Wall Street.

It was a spontaneous mob, coordinated thanks to modern social media. That's all I see the event as honestly. It did some weird and interesting things to some smaller scale brokerages who couldn't handle the buy/sell orders, and it taught me a few things about the nature of exchanges and brokerages. But it wasn't some kind of altruistic event or heroic effort.

Thanks to modern social media, I expect these spontaneous crowds to erupt into other forms and other locations... be it online or in meatspace (as per "Twitter Flash Mobs", which were probably their prototype when Social Media was younger).

Maybe it was your first spontaneous internet mob, but it wasn't mine. I've seen them before and I know they'll come again.
Yes but there really wasn’t a debate. You either agreed or were racist, and that’s the issue in a nutshell.

Even just scratching the surface of this point, the data you shared fails to include details of whether the victims resisted arrest or not.

There have been dire national consequences of how the public views enforcing the law since Floyd. And claiming racism when a point seems obtuse to you is hardly productive

That's smart because in fact football, specifically football, correlates the worst with military (according to whatever sources I happen to have). Every other sport is better for military training than football. There may be obscure exceptions, like things that can barely be called sports, but that's irrelevant because of their being obscure exceptions. Football is like...about explosiveness, right?

I mean I had a keen interest in football growing up in Chile, distaste for British sports, but beyond having a little real football football myself that was impossible for any other students of my school to acquire, there was literally nothing I could do to actually play this sport. Nobody played "fútbol americano" anywhere...OK thinking back, there were some tag football games in middle school, and we got together and played real football with real tackles just for the love of this sport in high school a little bit, secretly...so fun. Fucked up tackles, spinal.

Literally zero opportunities though. Just literally none. I heard much later there were two actual teams in the city, made of who knows whom.

Baseball there was some of that, it was an American school so they had enough players for two teams, it was really fun...just fun to play an American sport, patriotism is fun! Just fun to do American things like a normal American kid, how was I supposed to know baseball was a boring sport, I had a great time! Dreaming of returning to America, the land of my birth[1]. I just dreamed of playing, never of being on a league, just actually playing. There was a lot of basketball in Chile, that I will say. There there were some opportunities.

But that's not what military training is about really. So you have to fund more obscure sports. Like track, running a two-minute 8 [hundred meter race] that's perfect, hey a platoon of that...and the thing too is it just isn't as theatrical as football or basketball, it's not good television. I've competed in more 8's than I've watched. Grit isn't glamorous.

[1] Which I did, by beating the system at college admissions. So I was never going to be a truly good student, strictly because I was too defective for that, brutal and completely untreated learning disability. But what I could do was want it more, focus on what was essential, yeah being smart ADD notwithstanding, working like FUCK just white-knuckle it, focus on giving admissions committees what they truly wanted, and sacrifice every other metric as though it were gasoline.
At any point when driving a car, someone could potentially destroy the damn thing or kill me. If you're renting your car out, and you assume there's zero risk, you're at best rarher naive. If you buy a 50k status symbol and need to be super precious about it, maybe you shouldn't have bought it. I'd go one step further, and suggest that if taking your bumper off and putting it back on voids your warranty, and that's important to you, maybe you shouldn't be buying what is ultimately an expensive fashion item and renting it out.
I’d recommend a language with automatic memory management for the AST walking interpreter in the first half of the book so you don’t have to worry about how everything gets allocated.

Either Zig or Rust would be great for the bytecode compiler/interpreter in the second half of the book, which is written with the expectation of manual memory management. I personally chose Zig and it was fun.

And, then go through a second workflow, which puts you to... the first workflow.

I have yet to reach a page where I can submit the URLs to be removed. I consider myself a neophyte technologist, since I just started a few decades ago with punch cards. I doubt most of the general public will figure out how to perform this process.

There are a few things, mostly due to the runtimes but also because the JVM bytecode assumption has real implications for system behavior.

Let's start with bytecode. It "requires" (except for AOT work) a warm-up / JIT phase that tends towards slower start times. This isn't hard and fast, but in practice it's true. (And when you search for "jvm startup", you end up at lots of pages about how to tune things to try to make this better). For some people, just as bad or even worse (remember, distributed system) is the impact that JIT-compilation and warm-up has on tail latencies. The static nature of most compiled languages mean this isn't a thing you worry about. You've got enough tail latency problems in your life, you don't need "oh hey, I just saw this loop for the Nth time, I took 10ms to hot compile it!".

That leads into the runtime and some of the language choices around it. Java GCs are generally fighting a harder problem than Go's GC, and with a very different tuning point. Java making everything an object and support classloading and so on, has real knock-on effects for the amount of work required to get high-quality, low-pause GC to work. This is much better today than it was in 2008 when the Go team started, but it's still the case that Go has an out-of-the-box better GC experience. Yes there exist special, tuned GCs (e.g., Azul's C4, Shenandoah) but Java GCs have to really be super clever compared to the fairly simple strategies that work in Go; I applaud the ingenuity in Java GC work, but if what you care about is "reasonably good at collecting memory, never pauses for long", the Go language decisions made the GC problem easier.

I think it's fair to ask "Shouldn't Google have just improved Java?", but I think you miss out on lots of the concurrency ergonomics. Again, this has to be compared to a decade ago. Especially post 2010 (Oracle acquisition) it was super unclear that you'd want to attempt to "bet on Java".

To be clear, I do think Go is at the wrong point on the language/type-system sophistication curve for my tastes. That said, I find myself shaking my head at most Java code, while looking at the Go code and thinking "sigh, lots of repetition. I hope one day that gets better, but at least it's obvious".
> Nobody can take them away, but the problem that I've found with with physical DVDs (I can't comment so much on CDs)

I do exactly like GP: I rip everything to bitperfect (and it's verifiably bitperfect, using online DBs of other people who ripped the same CDs) FLAC files but I still keep my audio CDs.

We do not care if they're unreadable: we've got the bitperfect digital files on our SSDs / servers / USB stick and whatnots.

Now of course it's not convenient if you're always on the road.

But yeah: moved to another country a few weeks ago. My trusty old CDs were in a big cardboard box!

Causality is never clear in individual cases. With millions of cases worldwide there will always be occasional outliers due to genetics or environmental factors or random luck. Severe COVID-19 symptoms have always been rare in that age group, and multiple large scale clinical trials have shown pretty conclusively that vaccination cuts the risk still further. But vaccines are never 100% effective, and individual anecdotes don't tell us anything useful about vaccine efficacy.

SARS-CoV-2 can never be eradicated and it will continue killing people just like other endemic respiratory viruses such as influenza, RSV, HCoV-OC43, etc. At this point the majority of Americans have already been infected so it's time to accept the risk and move on, regardless of how well the vaccines work.
