No, since the functions are short-lived it doesn't add much value to setup a WebSocket connection. You could choose for the premium tier or even a full AppService tier for Azure Functions and then you do have instances that are staying alive. But in my opinion that makes it less serverless.
What makes you think they don't use manual review for highly-viewed videos?

The video in question wouldn't have triggered that manual review threshold because it's not even close to a million views. I would actually assume that highly-viewed videos are moved up much higher in the manual review priority queue, as it only makes sense.

The controversies like the one in the article are generally among moderately popular channels with 10K - 100K views, not in the millions.
> No one expects things to be perfect or that there will be no mistakes, but there's a whole lot of space between "perfect" and "braindead stupid".

I'm surprised the reaction is 'how they dare'. If you are personally contacted by one of the biggest game company wich would want to use one of your tools, a better response would've be a contract offer no (without trying to be TOO greedy and ask for ridiculous amounts) ?
I talked to a fisherman in Chile who had eaten dolphin. Said it was like a steak, so yes, tasty. They're just really well-hyped in the media and historically beloved. And then there's laws against hurting marine mammals, plus it's been eliminated from media.

It's not because they're smart we don't eat them, it's because they're cute. Cute-atarians. Like they only eat fish and rarely cow, you ask them if it's because of the species they say yes, then you ask if they would eat a sea-horse they say, "no, because it's cute!" Cute-atarian.

And that's fine, it's better in fact, easier to tell if something is cute than to go around giving animals stupid IQ tests. And run the numbers--ruin the numbers, researcher pulling numbers out of their ass to shoehorn the bell curve, too lazy to roll dice even. People agree strongly on what is cute and what isn't.
I think it is likely that the Olympics will move to a permanent location or a rotation of host cities in the future. Most local governments and populations have realized that building the infrastructure for the games is a losing proposition. The process for bidding is ripe for local and international corruption and the IOC vacuums up all of the profits.
The legislature is ultimately not capable of anything. Passing legislation requires enormous barriers: the House and the Senate (usually by a wide margin) and the President and not having the Supreme Court just sweep it away.

In some cases, it takes only a single Congressman to prevent a law from being passed. If the minority party is dead set a bill -- if only for political reasons -- it often requires absolute unanimity on the other party to pass it, an unreasonably high bar to pass.

Legislation is nearly always trivial. They are only barely capable of passing even the most basic, crucial, mandatory law appropriating funds for the executive branch -- and that's only possible because the filibuster does not apply to appropriations bills. Real legislation is sometimes bundled into appropriations bills precisely to piggyback on that exception.

Theoretically, the legislature can do lots of stuff. Pragmatically, you can't simply say "well, the legislature should act". There is an enormous thumb on the scale in favor of the status quo.
It's the Ohm's law: V=IR. Amps (I) kill you but your body has rather high resistance, at least kilohms (even when wet), and it depends on the voltage partly. So low voltage even with high amps current do nothing to you.

Can I ask a genuine question (I'm 40 years old so please bear with me): What the heck is the "Meteaverse"? Is it an app/game that Facebook implemented similar to "Second Life"? is it something like Fortnite? Those have been for quite some time... shit, I was playing Unreal Tournament online decades ago. Eve online players have been having full financial/belic/development online interactions also for decades.

What's the "innovative" thing about this "Metaverse"? is it the 3D headset thing? Does that work for people who have strong astigmatism in one or two eyes (3D films sucked for me because given the difference in my eyesight on each eye, I never saw the 3D effect).

> but when we're talking about actually developing products and shipping millions of units on tight budgets with high constraints, that need to operate flawlessly for decades in harsh environments, you'll realize why using "ye olde faithful" 30 year old AVR core, could make a lot more technical, business and financial sense than the newest shiny ARM based chips that just came out in <current_year>.

I've found the opposite to be true being a embedded engineer. AVRs in products typically smack of the Arduino->product pipeline and don't otherwise make much sense these days in professional circles. Their BoM cost is absurd versus the other options. That's why digikey still has thousands of avrs available, but stm32fs are still in the months of lead time or qty 25 from some sketchy resellers.

It's pretty hard to justify an AVR is a design review either at the ~$3 qty 1 space where you can instead have a 100mhz arm with more peripherals that might allow more consolidation of your design, or in the lower ends where there are cheaper micros when you're just babysitting one or two slow peripherals.
Hello, Mr. or Ms. Survivor Bias! I used to cut firewood with my father using a 3 foot buzz saw made over 100 years ago*, and had but only the most token of safety guards (ignore the giant power take-off belt that's just waiting to consume some of your loose clothing, and you with it), yet I still have all limbs, fingers, and toes!

And yet I still think it asinine to shrug shoulders and say, "I dunno, nobody I know ever got hurt, yuk, yuk, yuk." If one cannot see the potential for harm in such scenarios, you are one of those accidents waiting to happen.

Micro moderation might not be possible, but meta moderation certainly is. If a story such as the fractal burning has made the news that means it has passed through plenty of human brains along the way. That sort of thing should be noticed by meta moderation. This reminds me of the YouTuber who uploaded 2 Million Videos over the course of years and was not shut down.

The only way for that not to be dealt with is by gross negligence.
For libraries this can be useful if it means that you don't need to deal with a separate C toolchain in the build process. Instead you just bundle a copy of the library transpiled from C.
Ask HN: Bonuses Instead of VSOP for Engineers?
I noticed that engineers are less interested in VSOP in young startups as this means that they receive smaller salary, work till a burnout and risk that project dies before the vesting period ends. As alternative I was thinking to motivate them by providing quarterly bonuses for achieving reachable goals. This way, my hope is that as a company we can identify "10X developers" and retain them with a fair deal. This is a bit different to just "increase compensation" as usually engineers lose motivation with the time.

What do you think about this model?

The endless summer is finally turning into fall for the tech industry. I have heard several anecdotes of people who just coast and earn absurd salaries, specifically at Facebook and Google. If it can happen there then it's probably a widespread phenomenon of "hire at any cost" and "keeping up with FAANG salaries". Right now it's probably a lot of cost-centers and lower performers getting laid off, but could expand to more muscle if things keep going this way.
It's only monetarily cheap because it's been built, like most modern things, with a massive externalization of its waste-cost.
My 70 year old grandmother (who'd only be about 10 years older than I am, which is a bit strange...) ALSO runs other programs all the time, and does not expect them to interfere with one another in confusing or malicious ways.

Also, when you change trams/buses along the way, any delay by a vehicle in the middle of the chain gets compounded instead of just being added to the time of your arrival, since it makes you miss subsequent vehicles. With a car, if you leave 5 minutes later than you should, you should arrive 5 minutes late, not 30. And public transport is so unreliable, the delays are pretty much guaranteed for every trip, so you need to add huge time buffers to all of them if you want to be on time.
And thus, the video was deemed worthless to the whole system (unfortunately).

But that's of course short sighted: even a court could find youtube reckless if they selectively remove videos of caution while leaving up dangerous videos; if both are left up they might get off free.
they aren't defining these terms, they are excluding vegetarian products. That's very reasonable.

The "cheese on toast" anecdote was told in response to someone blaming modern technology for "outright faking craft and cooking tips". Contextually I gathered that modern technology might be part of the conversation.
IMO, it's pretty simple. At the beginning, V was making huge claims that turned out to be false or misleading. The developer clarified that many of those features were actually goals. Fair enough.

There's also the whole issue with blocking people who criticized the language (eg. Xe) because V was being "attacked" as if there's some conspiracy to destroy V. The claims may be outdated, but the response by the developers put many people off.

V has made huge strides since then, but people are very resentful.
> Centrism prevented pro-democracy rallying. Because it insisted making anti-democracy movements being talked about in euphemisms, because it believed in giving anti-democracy side more and more.

Do you mean "centrism" or "bipartisan-ism," because they're different and it's mainly the latter that would have the problem you seem to be describing.

Whatever we have now is basically the partisan equivalent of hoping you can have your cake and eat it too.

>As for garlic, it's amazing stuff out of a jar. I use it on and in everything. I'm not disabled, I'm just lazy and fine with it. The stuff is called Very Lazy Garlic here. And fuck the snobs and elitists.

First they started pushing the canned garlic, then they came for proper knife technique, and ultimately, they outlawed a good chiffonade as far too "ableist"

I think automatically saying that the strong recommendation of a preferred cooking approach is snobbery or elitist is incorrect. The same thing could be said about gentle-rewarming of a steak, vice blasting it in a microwave producing a dry husk.

Some of us are sensitive to certain flavors, and choose not to use preservatives to the extent possible. There is an adjective even used to describe things of quality "hand-made".

You may want to be specific, all criticisms were addressed by the author in this thread.

This actually works seamlessly on X wherein one can scale down lower DPI displays down from a higher resolution so everything is drawn the same size. However X does this it doesn't result in a blurry mess. Logically there is no particular reason it can't be done well on xwayland.

To be charitable one would suppose that its just a low priority as fewer people have high dpi displays. If one was less charitable making X apps work slightly shittier serves as motivation for developers to support the new standard. If you listen to these people talk the less charitable interpretation sounds entirely plausible.
You might want to look into the somewhat dodgy history of the language. The negativity is not surprising.

Maybe every app YOU install can do all of that stuff... some of us lead more interesting lives.

This has always been a problem in X, actually, since there was never an assumption that everything showing on your display would be running on your local computer.
It actually happened in 1998, and the courts correctly dismissed the case. This was more of a case of the district attorney trying to punish some people and digging up an old 1973 law to do it because they didn't have a case. Now that law is formally defunct, rather than just being forgotten.

...so yeah, that's not a good example of your argument.

I think he's great. Often you have people preaching cargo-culted safety rules without communicating the reasons for them, when you then see other people blindly disregarding those rules without apparent ill effect that reinforces people to do stupid things.

Mehdi/Electroboom shows you what you can do, and why it's dangerous; usually by shocking himself, blowing something up, or having stuff catch fire. He isn't teaching mindless, disprovable safety culture, but showing you the actual boundaries you have to respect. As such he has both videos of "let's shock me with lowly increasing voltage to see when it starts to hurt" and "ranting about badly wired wall sockets and lack of GFCI in this hotel room".

> It is a cat and mouse game, where the police only manages to catch kids

They only 'manage' to catch what they want to catch considering government's policy over several decades... If they actually wanted to end this it would be ended in under a month. That's one of the big problems in France: Many of those neighbourhoods and criminal activities have been left to fester for decades without anything being actually done, so things just keep getting worse, politicians keep being 'shocked' without doing anything, and round we go.

And this small percentage of popular videos are made by a smaller amount of reputable or disreputable channels. Give me the tools and a few months and I'll clean up the English-speaking toxic content by pruning it at the source.

So Riccitiello said no layoffs were coming and then in less than a month started layoffs. That is gross incompetence. Not only does the Unity lose productivity to the distraction this now causes it puts Unity in a bad light. It shows that Riccitiello has no foresight into Unity's financial situation. Or he's just a fucking liar. Either way he should be removed before does more damage. Kick 'em to the curb and get someone competent. Unity is too good of a product to be saddled with Riccitiello.
That determines who has control. However, the Democrats currently have control despite this, if only barely.

I have some guesses.

I'll publish a big blog post about this. It will debunk all these "V is a scam" articles.

Basically V appeared out of nowhere and got popular very fast. It took a lot of shortcuts: it was self hosted on release, GitHub started supporting it 1 month after the release, it had hot code reloading, fast compilation (v self is <1s [0]) and so on.

People developing other languages and their communities didn't like it, and decided to attack it.

There were 2 strategies: making completely false statements (like claiming that the V compiler has a dependency on glfw, so the no dependency claim is false, and claiming that V programs use libc, system's only official API, therefore again the no dependency claim is false) and nitpicking over bugs that are inevitable in a 0.1 language, and sometimes complaining that features explicitly marked as [wip] are not ready yet. One of the common questions I saw is "why release it if it's not ready". While that's the whole point of open source. I got lots of help from 500+ contributors and got to this point a lot faster.

Then there was also a misunderstanding with the "preview" release one week before the source code was released, and many thought V was going to be closed source. Over this week unfinished features were not marked as [wip]. They were marked so after the open source release, and now there're no [wip] features on the website. Everything listed there is working in latest V.

A pull request on a Git hosting platform is much more though. It allows commenting, tracking versions of the branch, and showing the diff. Even if the pull request is denied, those comments and the diff will stay available for all to see.

You can replicate that with email with a patch-based workflow, if you have a mailing-list server with public archives. That is not that much less software, and you have to deal with email deliverability etc.

Simply sending someone a git-request-pull doesn't carry anything for posterity. It contains a link to some place that hopefully contains the changes at one point (if you typed it right, git does no validation), but probably won't contain them for long.
