Are there any Android utility apps that will route all notifications through a single proxy where I can apply my own app/category/keyword filters, and [ideally] inbox/archive of notifications?

People criticize email, but I still find it the most user-friendly notification/messaging system. I wish for the type of control that I have in email over any other messaging/notification system (app alerts, Instagram messages, Slack notifications, etc.)
There are a few reasons why context switching in user mode could be faster, but that has little if anything to do with the performance benefits of usermode threads. The performance benefit of usermode threads is a result of their quantity, due to Little's law. They're not "faster", just more numerous, and that's what you need for higher throughput. More precisely, OS threads, because of their scarcity, introduce an artificial bound on throughput that's lower than what the hardware can support, and usermode threads remove that bound.

More here: https://inside.java/2020/08/07/loom-performance/

As to why it's hard for the OS to allow that many threads, the OS would need to keep thread stacks small and resizable, and that is hard to do if you don't know the specifics of how the language uses the stack. For example, to accommodate low-level languages that allow pointers into the stack you would need to manipulate virtual memory (to keep addresses valid), but that only works at a page granularity, or to introduce split stacks, which would require a new kind of ABI known to compilers (and would probably have a cost to performance).
Did use AOL, and think it was way ahead of its time. One portal where you could access email, chat, IM, news, stocks, etc. Worked fast and rather seemlessly, especially for dialup.

Portals today are still not as slick or functional. See MS or Google's attempts.

Really wish someone would create something similar in Electron or something.
You’re missing the fact that Americans like being in their own car and American cities are democracies. Any attempt to remove roads would be voted down. Finally the reality is American cities don’t have good pervasive transit options, reason being even if you built them people prefer their cars. NYC is a very notable exception but I would point out NYC is also covered in roads.

Really interesting. They're using a Hough transform, which is used to pick out shapes from an image (lines and circles most often), especially popular before ML techniques for object recognition existed.

Sounds like a great way to search for asteroids, never would have thought of it.

It's essentially just a coordinate transform that lets you add up evidence for a particular object, and the objects stand out as little bright points.

I'm sure they're doing lots of clever things on top of it of course though.
It's not just arrogance, it's called being a "modern JS developer". The bubble some of these people are living in is so rigid, they can't simply accept when someone does things differently. Some quotes from the parent are as follows, accompanied with some sarcasm on my end:

> nonstandard web framework (go-macaron)...

The "standard" is React and Vercel offerings. Get with the times.

> ditching go-macaron and xorm for something more widely used...

You're only supposed to use libraries that are #1 popularity in their respective category, few weeks of no commits means the library is dead.

> I would also add that I don’t even like NextJS. I’m recommending it because it’s a better engineering choice...

Yes, you read that right. This is the advice for Gitea: Github, Gitlab, SourceHut all used server-side templates, so much so that latter two are quite useful even when JS is disabled- but the "better engineering choice" (citations sorely needed) is NextJS.
Moods are different than a person with clinical depression. That's comparable, in a hyperbolic way, to saying, everyone knows what it's like to break their leg because we've all stubbed our toe at some point.

A person with a chemical imbalance cannot "just snap out of it", nor is it just a feeling of depression. There is a range of symptoms symptomology to go along with the diagnosis of true depression [1]. If left untreated, depending on severity, this can lead to suicide, delusional thinking, schizoid breaks, homelessness and very often self treatment with illicit drug use.

No it wasn’t edited I just didn’t notice the link.
One of my previous companies use their self-hosted Gitea. That's all good and stuff, but they don't have a dedicated DevOps person, so we actually have to spend extra maintenance on it.

Moreover, we were going through SOC-2 auditing at that time and it is much easier to just store our source code in one of the SaaS option like Github/GitLab/Bitbucket for our auditors to check without having me to screenshot everything for them.

You're right, I was thinking from the perspective of people protesting the paranoia-state by jamming these drones, not shooters jamming drones. I don't expect these sort of drones to be effective and doubt they'll factor into the planning of shooters. But people fed up with authorities telling them to live in fear might want to strike out against these drones.
If they're forcing their child to learn git I'd agree. If the child somehow got into contact with git (e.g. by getting into programming) and wanted to learn more about it, I don't see the harm.
This was one thing I appreciated about Pokemon Go! when it first came out and everyone was playing it. It's one of the only free-to-play games that got me happily buying the in-game currency to buy items, because I could buy and use the (don't remember what it was anymore, too long ago, I'm sure someone else here remembers) item that attracted Pokemon to my area for a half hour at a time, and all players in the region benefitted.

So I was buying and deploying these things over and over again just so my wife and kids in the area could have more fun. I specifically remember we attended a wedding at Disney World and my wife (girlfriend at the time) couldn't move around because of a recent surgery (I pushed her around Disney World in a wheelchair the whole time), so me buying those things let her capture Pokemon from our hotel room, and I could see a bunch of other people in the area playing as well. I hope I helped several kids enjoy playing the game more during that time.

I'd love more games to have something similar. If something only benefits me in a game I don't feel too motivated to buy it, as I can usually just deal without and progress slower, of just play a different game altogether.

It doesn't have to be specific to your physical region (although I think that helps, it was cool to think I was helping people near me), but maybe just where you're at within a game world, or something.
Won't Java or C# run the destructor eventually when they GC the equivalent of fstream?

Yes, that means they hang around a lot longer, and that's sometimes problematic, but that's the GC way.
Even Path of Exile only allows gifting microtransactions through explicit interactions with support, and they're somewhat picky about verifying that you're buying the items for someone you know personally -- they're going out of their way to avoid letting players trade in-game equipment for paid cosmetic items.
Maybe I misunderstand you, but if the "no longer works" comment refers to the business model as you say, then the person you replied to is saying "no, it can still work as a business model — here's an example."

It may not work as well or as easily, but I don't think that's the point being made.

> It is so sad that "make good game, sell it" model no longer works. It's all a wonky curve of "free - couple of dollars - hundreds and thousands of dollars".

Fwiw, I would be onboard with some kind of model where one pays a small monthly (or additional fee) for continued updates. For instance, I play a few multiplayer games (overwatch, hunt showdown) and I'd be ok paying $1 a month or so to support continued updates / balancing etc. It seems like companies are missing the boat on the nominal recurring fees (vs say, the WoW level subscription of tens of dollars a month).
Credit Card theft/fraud is why. If it was possible to "transfer" funds like this then mechanisms for fraudulent purchases will increase dramatically. Eve Online introduced purchasing in-game currencies because it was rife on the "black market" anyway and they also saw a huge number of fraudulent purchases and/or charge backs. 3rd party grey "broker" sites popped up with way below market rate prices, 99% of which are using fraudulent CCs to fund them, and bot accounts to transfer the in-game stuff.
You're comparing the p99 to the p25.

I think you got hung up on the "I disagree" part, I could've expanded on it more directly. I disagree that it'd only create subservience; I think it'd also cause a lot of revolution and violence - which is not what you want in a school setting or learned as life lessons either.

I don't think this is a useful tool for stopping school shootings and I wasn't endorsing the idea.
>worked hard at playing your manager

No. Instead of working until my head exploded (and my manager telling me I wasn’t showing “a sense of urgency”) I focused on doing the right thing, and part of that is helping your manager succeed.
There are many gacha games on the market today that do post their odds and where player-validated data seems to support it. (Some jurisdictions like China and Japan require these kinds of disclosures.) But there are also a lot of markets that don’t require these kinds of disclosures and where there isn’t enough player data to draw a conclusion. So, in that case, how could you have confidence that they are not doing what you suggest? Even if they were, would it even be illegal? (If you never post what the odds are in the first place, is it fraud to keep changing the rules?)

This is why I’ve always been a bit surprised developers haven’t done more to get ahead of these kinds of issues with responsible disclosures and transparency, because it seems to be just inviting regulation. I honestly don’t think most F2P games pull the kinds of slimy tricks you’re accusing them of (most just use simple loot tables and RNG), but there’s nothing holding them accountable to say they can’t because everything is opaque.
The first time I read this, I thought you were making a wide-eyed emoticon about the fact that it requires Python 3.6
That was the case in my family. Similar backgrounds, 2x salary difference.
Very astute analysis. I cover these exact issues as they manifested.

I used to say "Star has done for object-oriented programming what Three Mile Island did for nuclear power."

Obviously not, though, since OOP grew & prospered on its own. I cover our struggles using OOP with a non-object oriented language in exhaustive detail, too.
Because biology. Mothers have to take time off work (to give birth), fathers don’t. Freedom of choice is important, but so is specialisation (so the couple can be more efficient), so it makes more sense for mother to specialise for family (sacrificing career), and father to specialise for career (sacrificing family).
> How does women entering the work force (from your previous post) equal less freedom? Less freedom for whom? Certainly not women.

Less freedom for those who happen to like traditional gender roles, now they are forced to work more and adapt to more "modern" gender roles. Otherwise they will lose out massively because the single earner has so much lower salary now.

Less freedom because an almost doubled amount of total working hours for a family. Free time = freedom.

Less freedom for childless people because they have much lower salaries now because of the larger supply of workforce (which is somewhat compensated by subsidies to people with children). Now they compete against couples with double income on everything on the market.

A single childless person would previously have the same buying power as a single breadwinner, now they have half.

Less freedom because this creates a much higher pressure and financial incentives for people to have children and to have modern gender roles, and anything else is discouraged.

> if women can only work as unpaid housewives, they have no freedom.

Well, are you more free if you trade free time for working hours? You are literally only more free to slave more.

This freedom only manifests in the case when you want/need to leave your husband.
To get to a low GC overhead in Java (and perhaps other languages too) you have to pay with an increase in memory consumption. Sometimes as much as 100% additional RAM to avoid frequent full GC scans.

i think because they can (demand money from anyone due to intellectual property).

i'm not sure if anyone have challenged it. or i may be wrong and basically they can enforce their demands based on usage of their brand only. or noone really has needed that, because everyone is happy to collaborate with the arm company in some other areas besides licensing, so this very fee is nothing for them.

I'm not sure of the benefits or detriments of microdosing psychedelics but a little research indicates this study should be taken with several large grains of salt, regardless of your opinion on this matter.

First, the study size appears to be so small (about 20 people for placebo, and for each of the two dose regimens) that it's not really that indicative one way or the other.

Second, reading through the journal's articles on Google Scholar definitely shows it has a bias towards the traditonal 'addictive and dangerous drugs' mentality such as alcohol, heroin, marijuana, cocaine, meth, etc. Interesting, a search for 'Adderall' turns up 1 result, and a search for 'methamphetamine' turns up 327 results on Google Scholar (using advanced search and limiting to this journal). Heroin gets 445 results, oxycodone gets 35 results. All in all this looks like a journal for researchers who approach the subject from an abuse-centric perspective, basically the Nancy Reagan approach to drug addiction issues.

If you want a more balanced overview from a more general journal, try this:

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2012.10200

> "The powerful hallucinogen LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) has potential as a treatment for alcoholism, according to a retrospective analysis of studies published in the late 1960s and early 1970s. . . Of 536 participants in six trials, 59% of people receiving LSD reported lower levels of alcohol misuse, compared to 38% of people who received a placebo. “We were surprised that the effect was so clear and consistent,” says Krebs. She says that the problem with most studies done at that time was that there were too few participants, which limited statistical power. “But when you combine the data in a meta-analysis, we have more than 500 patients and there is definitely an effect,” she says. In general, the reported benefits lasted three to six months. Their findings are published today in the Journal of Psychopharmacology."

Now does this address the best option for therapeutic use? Is one strong dose followed by therapy best for alcoholics? Could microdosing be a means for alcoholics to continue to resist the urge to drink over longer periods of time? Those sound like good topics to study.

As far as those who want to use drugs and alcohol recreationally, vs. those who want to use the police and courts and prisons to enfore their view of what are the acceptable substances to ingest, I'll side with the former, though I'd advise them to adopt the "less is more" mentality.

> Uber-drivers are not self-employed, they are employees, says federal court. The judgement already has consequences in a canton.

Basically Uber immediately shut down in the canton of Genf, and Uber has to pay social security and stuff because the court thinks the drivers are all employees. Other cantons are (not yet) affected.
It also has a horrible UI. Honestly iTunes had its issues but Music is a step backwards compared to iTunes!!

It's UI is clearly designed by someone who 1) only listens to recent popular music, 2) isn't particularly passionate about any music they listen to, and 3) don't bother to look for new music that isn't in the top-10. Basically the last kind of person who should ever do UI design - no passion or knowledge about the application or the market!

Yes, that would be "docker build". Or docker compose if you want to do more things and organise the volume mapping side/other dependencies.

Why track the state of your docker container? Just build it.
There is a ton of context associated with OS/kernel threads. Virtual memory, security, I/O. While there is some hardware acceleration for those in modern processors there isn't anything like LOAD THREAD and even with CPU support it's still very expensive.

You get an interrupt, then the kernel needs to load its own context (the tables it needs to access), then the kernel needs to do the expensive switch.

In user space you have a lot less context. The actual switching is pretty much the cost of a function call. If you need preemption that's a different story and mostly depends on what facilities are available for that. Inserting preemption checks is a little hacky (hello Go ;) ) but what can you do.

EDIT: It's worthwhile noting there's indirect costs like caches being stale. Lightweight/green threads will often work on shared data structures so the caches are more likely to have something useful in them. They may even share the code.

North of NYC is definitely slower than south of NYC (and nobody misses changing locomotives in New Haven.) It sounded to me like the poster was claiming a top speed of 86 for the entire Boston to Washington route, which is what I was responding to.
SSR is "fine", but it doesn't need to be this painful. Here's an example buggy piece of code:

{{range $i, $file := .Diff.Files}}
<div>
{{ if $file.IsSpecialFile }}
<div>Special file ({{$file.name}})
{{ end }}
</div>
{{end}}

Because of the missing </div>, instead of a list of files, it produces a file listing inside of another file listing inside of another, etc. That's just something you'd never be able to accidentally do in NextJS, or anything that uses JSX-like structure.

Then there are clerical things like where to put styles and presentation logic. Gitea uses a mix between jQuery and Vue, with CSS rules sprinkled in randomly. The result is that by looking at the template and the class names on each element, you have no idea whether a class name or ID is going to have significance to jQuery, CSS, or if it's just dead code. Something like styled-components, and use of a single stack (Next as opposed to jQuery+Vue) eliminates the fear and clerical aspect of development.

I don't really think there's much of a difference, contextually. ARM still collects rent, and most of their "innovation" is contributed by their licencees. Pretty much the only thing ARM can peddle at this point is their core designs and ISA, and both of those things are starting to show their age now. Maybe 10 years ago ARM had a "friendly" stance towards their customer base, but nowadays they're frankly no better than Qualcomm. If you want to make a usable ARM computer today, you need to have ISA extensions out-of-the-box and probably design your own cores unless you want to saddle your customers with 8x M53's.

I agree that not all of these companies are equal, but ARM right now reminds me of Intel in 2016. You can only rest on your laurels for so long, sufficiently motivated competitors will be sure to remind you again and again.
