Yes, when Flash went end of life, they were forced to adopt a new tech strategy.
I started a blog to explore this idea! I've built Pokemon Games to learn how to do things on a large scale. I've done Kubernetes, Redis Caching, nearly every flavor of Database (NoSQL, SQL, Graph, etc), and microservices, monoliths, you name it.

I'm going to be exploring how to go about it, how to massively over-engineer things for the sake of learning, as well as build minimalistic aspects of the games.

There will be `Main Quests` where we build a simple game, and `Side Quests` where we go off the wall and explore new tech.

I just started tonight! So it's definitely a WIP

Is there something in how Canadian or English courts work that would make it impossible to just delay jury selection for the pending trials, for a week or a month, or however long it takes to mail out the next round of jury summonses?

Because the way this story is telling it, I'm getting the impression that the court is simply prioritizing its own convenience over the needs of the people getting summonsed at the shopping mall, and then compelled to appear. Which seems like the dumbest possible way to implement a jury system, because it completely ignores the legitimate needs of the citizenry to attend to their own lives.

I don't particularly want to conclude that this particular court is poorly run, to the point of incompetence... So I'm really hoping there's more to this story.

So according to you, delivery companies have fat margins and zero marginal costs because it's all infinitely-scalable software. The only thing holding these companies back, then, from massive profits is "overaggressive expansion."

'infogulch has it right. A damage region is a way of saying "this region of pixels hasn't changed," but you can also say that for a scene graph, attributes of widgets, layout, the view tree, and other things. Ideally you press a key and the CPU does only a tiny amount of work figuring out what changed, followed by the GPU doing a tiny amount of work rerendering the changed pixels.
I am someone who has a masters degree and I have taken Distributed systems, Computer Architecture and Advanced Algorithms at Bradfield. In my experience, I would rate Bradfield better than a master degree for these reasons -

1. Was more relevant and practical. It was taught by people who have worked building real things in the real world.
2. Better ROI on time spent learning. In about 8 weeks (roughly 2 hours every week) and some self study I had the confidence to apply the learnings and continue learning more. Time comes at premium to me as I am working full time and have a family to take care of
3. Cheaper than a university course. It costs 2k USD roughly for a course.

During the same time, I also tried OMSCS from GATECH. I felt I got way more from these Bradfield's courses by spending less time and money than OMSCS as well. That said, its just me and YMMV.
No, this is a terrible suggestion.

Also n=2 and controlled experiment are so generic that it becomes a joke itself.

Yeah it's a good point, although it does seem like the dangers of smoking are worse than drinking.

I'd like to see an analysis of the risk vs. reward of drinking that factors in social effects. It would be really hard to do a good job of though, because the social effects are not linear, and you could always argue that a drinker could do something else that's social instead.

Maybe smoking even comes out ahead with moderation and the right context. Precolumbian americans seemed to use tobacco in a fairly safe and socially beneficial way.

I don't understand this at all.

Authority is a fundamental and underlying requirement of essentially all aspects of civil society, including but not limited to justice. There is actually no way to define even the concept of crime without an appeal to a supervisory authority.

Authority, and specifically "centralized" authority, is a necessary component of any system that can effectively serve more than a nominal quantity of human beings.

Unrelated to the IQ question, AIUI not all formula is created equally.

One of the things that caused Robert Lustig [0] to go down the "fructose is a poison" rabbit-hole was he had parents with obese infants coming to him for help. What he found was the WIC-provided formula these mothers were giving these children was full of fructose making the infants obese. I think you'd struggle to produce a similar outcome via breastfeeding.

gvisor is a Google project, this isn't NIH.

gVisor provides a linux syscall interface to the guest, but ultimately calls a linux syscalls when it needs to invoke something in the host. That obviously doesn't work for a linux-on-fuschia compat layer. I guess you could re-use the guest side, but if gVisor wasn't written for pluggable backends it's probably more work to do that refactor than just build a separate tool.
You need a lot of PV per person if you want to satisfy all their primary energy needs. On the order of 150sqm. Apartment buildings don't have enough roof space to be self-sufficient.
On the contrary, it was not easy at all but that’s a story for another day.

My argument is merely that our opening position, until proven otherwise, should be that the child benefits. (It can, unfortunately, simultaneously be hard for the mother and beneficial for the child. Many aspects of parenting are.)

And again I do think it’s important to note that huge numbers of children grow up well on formula. So if breastfeeding doesn’t work out for whatever reason there’s no reason to lose sleep over it. We can suspect it is beneficial and yet make a rational choice to forego it based on other factors.
So its clear now no one will be using Dart or Flutter.

I totally get it. I never had cigarette or alcohol, and obviously it was hard for me to blend in to certain groups. But then I also found other groups through common interest where I could blend in- video games and even IRL. But still I feel not having cigarette or alcohol caused some opportunity losses.
I had not consulted the original text prior to replying, so I used a collective 蠻夷 as a guess. 蠻 and 夷 both translate as barbarian, an adjective and a noun (so to speak). 夷 is the character used in Archaic (Classical) Chinese that was used to write the letter (Archaic Chinese, which had a very different grammar and vocabulary was used for all written communication in China, Korea, Japan and Viet Nam until the early 20th century) to refer to barbarians whereas 蠻 has been used more recently.

In the text being referenced further down the thread the following words are used:

眾夷 – crowd(s) of barbarians
夷人 – barbarian(s), literally «barbarian person(s)»
夷船 – barbarian ships
外夷 – foreign barbarians
夷 – barbarian(s)
奸夷 – wicked / evil barbarians
國夷 – barbarian countries/states, literally «country/-ies of barbarians».

蠻 is not found anywhere due to not being used in Classical Chinese.

Curiously, in Viet Nam, being written as 越南, the 越 refers to Baiyue or «one hundred yue (tribes)» (百越 that had formed an ancient Yue Kingdom and were considered barbarians at the time). And therefore 越 has had pretty strong barbaric connotations in the historical context for a long time. The actual name of the Viet Nam is, in fact, Nam Viet 南越, but words had to be swapped around at the behest of the Jiaqing Emperor of Qing to conform with the Classical Chinese grammar.
I've never tried it & have no opinion, but they're often compared, have similar goals, and it's name is mistakable for Vala, so I believe this is what they were asking about.
It's not the liquid helium that limits JWST's lifespan (as that's in a closed loop), but rather the propellant needed to keep it in a stable orbit. I'm no rocket scientist, but I don't imagine that would be much less of a concern around a further, possibly less stable Lagrange point.
Very good point, but one exception is that alcohol consumption has been a thing across many cultures for literally thousands of years.

I thing that it is important to eliminate peer pressure related binge drinking in teens and young adults but ultimately I think being drunk is practically a rite of passage for most people in the world at this point and that this isn't a bad thing.

We'll probably end up making some Star Trek type synthahol before we eliminate occasional alcohol consumption and I bet that something like 95+% population consumption of lab grown meat will happen before similar figures happen for alcohol.
Except drinking often makes people smoke, and/or engage in other unhealthy activities they otherwise don't do when sober.
What the shit?

So this is about a fucking role playing game. This story and every comment here is about not Socrates. Not anything at all meaningful. But a role playing game.

At least from what I see, it was an actual RPG and not a goddamned CRPG! And that is a miracle for HN.

The real thing is materialistic independence and you give it away by educating skilled workers giving away IP and financing locally operated factories and other infrastructures.

About `mock`, the problem is the ABI. If you don't build the packages in the "perfect" order, the ABI degrades over time. For example, some libraries might accidentally add something in the middle of a struct. The API is 100% compatible. It will also run without any warning, but all pointers in the application using the libraries provided by those packages will now have an offset. A boolean might now point to in integer or something like this. If you don't have the tooling to detect this and don't have the tooling to ensure you build packages in the right order (and rebuild when needed), then you will eventually get some of these problems. Mostly on point releases. To solve this, the "trivial" way is to follow the RHEL build ordering, which requires some tools. The "correct" way is to use `libabigail`, `libsolv`, `libdnf` and other binary tooling and keep track of these things.

There are more of these little papercuts left and right you get when you build a RHEL clone. You can always cut corners and manually build everything, but you will payback the time you save in outages. RedHat has the test suite, the clones only have a small part of it, they have to be extra careful.
The event in 2014 that you refer to was the Revolution of Dignity and once again the concept of revolution goes hand in hand with the concept of democracy.

I don’t think you can just draw a line in the timeline and say “the philanthropy after the crime is useful and therefore justified”.

You have to look at the chain of causation.
Do you not understand that regulations are a byproduct of real and actual problems? That "building without limits" is actually harmful to consumers?
Yes this goes to “what is a site?” and “who/what is controlling what sub domains”. Especially with things like GitHub.io, and indeed wix. I think ignoring dead apex domains when a subdomain worked would have been a good extra pass for the methodology.
If your landlord raises your rent 4x, and then drops it to only 2x after a few months, does that prove your landlord is working towards your goal of spending less?
Thats the default, GitHub should also provide a way for optional extra paid/unpaid support to be indicated.
Justine Tunney's APE (actually portable executables) exploits, er, makes use of, the fact that a shebang isn't required to run a shell script.

The single executable file generated by the Cosmopolitan linker creates an insane polyglot binary executable that runs on 6 operating systems as well as on bare metal (i.e. bootable as its own OS); in addition, it's a valid Zip archive, and you can modify files inside it using any zip utility... fascinating stuff. On Linux, it bootstraps execution initially as a shell script, but the shell script writes the "ELF" file header and executes it (I'm probably doing a horrible job of explaining though).

Everyone knows this. Most people pretend it isnt true or cling to one study that is cited often about some vague health benefits of a glass of wine a night.

I've always found Vala intriguing but a little too niche for my tastes. That said, if I wanted to write a cross-platform app in it today with a visual GUI builder (Glade?), what is the best IDE/tools on macOS to edit programs of it with? Visual Studio Code with some plugin?

Does Glade work okay on macOS and with Vala?

> The few papers that did serious data-cleaning efforts were mostly unequivocal about alcohol just being bad no matter what.

If you strictly look at it from a biological perspective isn't alcohol consumption pretty much short-term poisoning of your body to produce temporary good feelings? Is there any time where this would be good for the body and would have data to show it?

Sincerely wondering as that would be really interesting to read about. I have never really seen anything that implies it actually helps your body aside from the "drinking wine every once in a while is good for you".

Note: I also feel like this "unhealthy" argument can be true of anything. I.E. video games, sports, being exposed to people at a social event, etc. So I am not trying to argue that point. Just curious if there is any evidence suggesting alcohol may be good for your body -- from a biological perspective only.

Not only that, afaik they pioneered/popularized a style of coding where the formatter is always correct, not the coder. This made coding on every language much more enjoyable and more efficient.

This is not something to write papers about, but a very significant thing anyway.
True. It's a really complex thing to look at, totally idiosyncratic and affected by societal norms as well.
No, I'm pretty sure it rasterizes using OpenGL ES, too.

I don't know the code well enough to find good proof, but there's a lot of GLES and I think some DX calls in there. More than if it was just composing.

For many years in my career I didnt drink. Then for a handful of years I did. For the last 3ish I havnt. Career wasnt improved at all by drinking. I don't feel awkward going to a bar with work folks and ordering a diet coke. No one gives a shit.

A lot of people who drink socially only drink one drink over the course of a night. They could happily leave it if they didnt feel the social pressure to do it.
But does ”never used to” really mean the same as ”didn’t use to”?

Telecom act of 1996 paid them to build fiber but they set the speed limits low enough that they could satisfy it with DSL.

There’s new DSL tech that’s ~100mbps, so this is that technique again.

The fatal flaw in 1996, like today, is not pushing for gigabit, and is one of the major reasons the US is a declining global power. Faster internet access is core infrastructure for participation in the 21st century.
There are no breakaway republics? The majority of people in Crimea did not wish to rejoin Russia? All people on what is (formerly now) Ukraine territory were happy with the post coup Ukrainian government? Is that what you are saying?

If not, what exactly of my point do you take issue with? The claims on Russia geo strategical intent? The history of invasions into Russia through Ukraine in fairly recent times? That Crimea is not historically Russian?

These are all facts my friend. Not propaganda.

I wish you would take a more rational and less emotional view of the situation but I can't say I'd do differently in your circumstance. I am concerned where the irrationality leads however. It has so far caused nothing but trouble for Ukraine. And the trouble is spreading.

People have been consuming alcohol for a very long time. What you are describing is addiction and its part of our society. If not alcohol, its something else.

Hell, some people get addicted to work. Again, everything in moderation is a sound advice. If you can't drink or have reasons not to, don't. But you won' t get invited to parties if you started saying out loud what you write on HN.
