Our work is incredibly i/o-bound, so we would probably not see much of a performance difference no matter what language we chose. Additionally, our presentation layer is served directly from an in-memory, columnstore database and is divorced from our back-end by a batch ETL process.

To give a high-level overview of what we are doing, we call a series of APIs which can provide current-state metadata about a SaaS platform. We poll those APIs on a schedule and diff the results over time, providing to our customers a view of this change over time. So our work is to schedule these API calls, wait for the results, persist the results to storage, and then identify the deltas. Once this is done, we load into our presentation layer for customers to interact with.

We run an independent process per customer and use OS permissions to isolate these from one another, and plan to containerize these processes for further isolation. Customers each get a local ZFS dataset and a separate blob storage container. Isolation is a big deal for us, as the permissions we require to call these APIs for our customers end up being a de-facto global admin (this is a limitation of the SaaS vendor, not us). The dataset-per-customer model allows us to lose a single (and backed up, so not really single) encryption keyfile to forget everything sensitive from that customer.

This last paragraph only emphasizes that the language is not the most significant consideration for our work. We could probably orchestrate the API calls as effectively in shell pipelines. The diffing process is a bit hairier, and my current focus.
Based on what politicians like the head of the WHO learned from Covid, you can't go wrong with a strategy of "better safe than sorry!" that willfully ignores the real costs of this policy. It's politically better to save 1 person directly than 100 indirectly. You can't execute this policy without the looming urgency of an emergency, so you declare one despite that your SMEs are unwilling to do so. That's "strong leadership"!
That article does say that only 4% is "grass-fed", but I don't think that implies 96% of beef cattle never graze, merely that they don't graze enough to meet the "grass-fed" labeling requirements.

I grew up on a small farm and from there and the other beef producers I know the practice is as parent describes. Cattle are raised on pasture then eventually auctioned off to feedlots that fatten them them up with grain a couple months before slaughter.

It's still a tremendous amount of grain.
Not to mention the huge library of games from B to AAA that use unreal/unity with things like cool gameplay, multiplayer and multi platform (PC and consoles).. this comment made no sense.
Is there a workflow based around a main container and fixed layouts in tmux ?
The point is that new exploration of the design space only works when there’s a familiar environment to build on. The old days of each architecture being its own hermetic environment are gone.
This is not about market share of all computing devices, It's about PC OS market share.
That helps, though an issue is bioavailability - vitamin forms are typically harder for the body to process than the forms in food. There can also be other nutrients required together (e.g. calcium with vitamin D). Finally, I am 100% sure that, despite progress (e.g. fortified bread), we don't yet know all the nutrients, forms, and interactions.

Nutrition science is historically dodgey.
I mean they want to buy it to acquire data about public companies so they can make market moves ahead of quarterly filings.

If a company is using zendesk and there is an uptick in tickets or traffic - they can calculate growth based on that. There were PE firms buying email companies back in the day to look at # of emails from netflix for new subscriptions or cancellations - and they used that to determine if growth was up or down.
That link is about AdWords spend by the site in question, and not about displaying AdSense ads on the site. Totally unrelated.

I strongly disagree. Pure behaviorism is just willful blindness. Consciousness is a real phenomenon, as any person not philosophically committed to denying its existence can tell you. It's front and center of our experience of human cognition. It would be quite strange for it to serve no function in the human mind.

Yeah, it's hard to quantify and isolate and experiment on, but that just speaks to either current limitations of human science, or possibly to limitations that cannot be surpassed. Given how much mileage certain philosophical movements have gotten out the common intuition that emerged during the Elightenment that everything is scientifically tractable, I understand the resistance to accepting these limitations and opening the door to all of the philosophical consequences of that intuition failing. But sorry, reality doesn't care about your philosophical attachments.

Can you be more specific? I don't think he worked on ML when I was at GOogle, and you don't work and never worked at Google.
Correct - see my comment above for more explanation.
Well, your immune system is already capable of identifying and deleting cells that have escaped the normal cell cycle control and have become cancerous, but if there's damage to your immune system then it can lose that capability. Immune system damage can occur by many means: viral infections, chemical carcinogens, ionizing radiation, etc.

Using gene editing technology to repair your immune system using a human template wouldn't be transgenic technology and is probably a relatively safe use of CRISPR gene editing, for example. Throwing in some shark genes to see what happened, because some species of sharks don't seem to get cancer IIRC, that would not be such a great idea I don't think.
Instead of "miscompiled" you can read "Doesn't do what it did on the PDP-11 with the compilers of the time".
Or, you know, in real life. Which was more my point. I've done more networking face to face over the last couple of years than I ever got done using the Internet.

As the GP post comments, if you want those features there are plenty of other languages to choose from.

I don’t even like programming in C but I respect what the committee is trying to do, and yes I do sometimes write C code.
I think of humans as a lens, mirror or piece of turbulence in a high dimensional space that information about the universe flows through. Maybe the smartest chimp, but not any more or less alive than anything else. Somewhat fortunate in the ways that we get to experience existence.
Google has all the text they've scraped.

They can see all the domains that have served a given snippet.

They also have history to identify where each snippet was first seen.

If SO has a lot of traffic and a good reputation, and if the same snippet is found first at SO and then later at bunch of newly created, low volume, low reputation domains, then show the SO result and not the others.
Agreed.

Also, where is the src for the original release of Fat Fritz 2? They released a cut down version which they then released partial src for, but irrespective, they still distributed GPL code so owe the recipients the full src.

While I hope chessbase lose this badly, losing all rights to distribute stockfish code in any form, I still think they should also be forced to comply with the license they chose to use code from & release the full src.
Great blog post! "Plato didn't write his dialogues on Microsoft Word, and neither should you".
Yes and I'm sure it's doubly true of code that was written before the C standards were written.

When I was working with a semi-big studio, the people there always talked about this kind of thing. It kinda sucks to depend on Unity or Unreal. I've seen some people at Gamedev.net talking about it in the past too.

Curiously most Indies kinda dislike the idea because they like the integration. DIY-engine-makers are split: some want to do it all, others would enjoy having an editor.

> code your engine against some common editor API rather than the other way around

Yep, that's the trick.

> The idea of being able to swap to an entirely different engine but keep all my content, tools, etc is pretty fantastical, but I don't see why it would be impossible.

Exactly, that's already the reality with IDEs, even when advanced features like debugging and reflection are involved.
I agree with this risk. What wave of Covid are we ever-vigilant against currently?
Deadspin's motto was "Sports news without access, favor or discretion". Unlike traditional media that essentially acts as mouthpieces for the teams that they cover (think of any press conference and the kinds of questions being asked, and the types of response they're designed to elicit), they used their status as outsiders to look at sports with a critical lens, and hold people in power in sports to account.

This didn't mean they hated sports though - you could tell from most of their reporting, especially by the OGs(Will Leitch, Drew Magary, Tim Burke etc), that they LOVED sports and wanted the people and teams involved to just be better. They also broke a lot of bonkers stories like the Manti Te'o scandal (highly recommend reading their report on it)[1] that no one in traditional media did a good job of interrograting or digging into.

The site still exists, but if you read it now you won't see this kind of reporting. It all changed about two years when they were bought by private equity (G/O I wanna say) who attempted to exercise control over their editorial, resulting in a mass resignation. Many of the old writers started Defector (https://defector.com/), which writes in the same spirit.

I think you are confused. Editors are not part of the game engine. Unity editor is separate from Unity the game engine. When you ship your Unity game it doesn't bundle the engine with it.
This was not my experience with TeXmacs. I tried it recently after using LaTeX for all of my papers, and while it is nice, it is not replacing LaTeX for me.

Table output in particular was much lower quality than LaTeX with booktabs. I think I had to manually resize columns, which was tedious, and I never had to do that with LaTeX. There were a lot of similar situations I found myself in, where I wound up needing to fight TeXmacs quite a bit to get it to output what I wanted.

I prefer my LaTeX workflow where I can edit markup in Emacs, and have a preview almost instantly generated next to my editor by a filesystem watcher & makefile. TeXmacs necessitates using its own interface (which lacks my vim keybindings and Emacs customizations) and I could not find many resources on editing TeXmacs documents in external programs.

I did appreciate that the general typesetting in TeXmacs was high quality, and the ability to type TeX macros and get e.g. enumerated lists quickly was very nice. But overall, I prefer LaTeX.
Seriously, pay the premium. You'll waste the delta endlessly searching through the chaff of node developers, and then pay another cost when your node architecture needs to be de-spaghettified or your node developer decides to create another layer of tech debt by switch to using next.js from redux, or starting to use aws lambdas, etc. Etc etc.
> In an unusual move, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the declaration even though a committee of experts he had convened to study the issue was unable to reach a consensus. The same committee met just one month ago and declined to declare a public health emergency of international concern, or PHEIC.

What's the W.H.O. process which allows the director-general to bypass the W.H.O. process for scientific debate by experts?

The W.H.O. has (so far) failed to achieve international consensus on an international treaty that would give the W.H.O. the legal authority to override local health authorities (national, state, city) in the declaration of public health emergencies. If such a treaty were in effect, today's declaration by one human would have immediately affected the daily lives of 8 billion humans.

> gave fake statistics and information

This is comically false. When the virus spread in the rest of the world we got to see that it wasn't the Black Plague 2.0 and the CCP didn't (and couldn't) possibly hide millions of deaths in Wuhan.

The stance and respect that China has managed to acquire is only logical given the very united front they present. That isn't without cost for the individual as the harsh lockdowns clearly show. Would you trade places with a Chinese in order to have the same treatment for your country in a press conference happening 5000mi away from you?

No? Me neither. It's settled then, China can have #1 as far as I am concerned. England used to be #1 for the longest time and now it's #6. It's not like people are running around like chickens with their heads severed off. As always it's all about purchasing power parity and your very immediate surroundings which make a person satisfied with their life.
That's a real issue. It's not just a monopoly in a competitive sense but also a monopoly on 'public squares'. Which is effectively against free speech.

When a company or moderator has the power to ban you from a public space your are ostracized by a non-democratic panel, with unknown agendas.
I think you’re muddying the waters. Outside of US partisan stuff, corruption at the WHO is _legendary_ and has been for decades.
It isn't so much about Rust the language which would be fine if people wrote Rust code like they write, say, Bash code. Bash also gets new features that don't work in older Bash versions. But the Bash mentality means supporting all machines and not using new bash features till you can expect every machine to have it.

The Rust mentality is to use all new features immediately without consideration. And this is entirely on the Rust devs which are, naturally, for now, the bleeding edge types.

Misleading? No. This is the reality of most Rust dev behavior. But you're right in spirit, the problems aren't intrinsic to the Rust language itself.
I would be curious to hear more about this. My response to a sibling explains how we do not have huge performance considerations right now (and our i/o-bound nature). Due to the primary work of our product, we are utilizing async workflows extensively. We are on 6.0, and evaluating if we want to chase the 7 series release or just hop to the next LTS.
I don't think this is an issue if you're a spammer. Those domains are probably short lived anyway.
It wasn't "illegal" for Bull Connor to use dogs and hoses. The problem was that it was legal and for most white people in the south, encouraged. Again this is another example of having a convenient lie ready made to fit a strongly held belief.

>In summary: in order to display HTML emails using Mutt, the author developed a system to automatically pipe them to a tool that parses plaintext multipart MIME messages and converts them to an HTML file, which gets displayed in an auto-reloading Firefox tab.

The article has nothing to do with reading HTML emails using mutt which is actually quite easy to do, as pointed out by another commenter. The article is about sending multi-part text+HTML emails in a nice way that handles attachments, inline images, etc.
It's a miracle that the developer of GNU roff actually managed to complete the suite before procrastinating big-time into SGML. AFAICT, he resisted even the urge to implement the roff dot command syntax on top of SGML SHORTREF.
I wish we had something like typed Lua without Lua’s weird quirks (e.g. indexing by 1), designed with performance enhancement and and safety in mind, and with the features you mention.

But like Lua, the base compiler is really small and simple and can be embedded. And it’s “pseudo-interpreted”: ultimately it’s an ahead-of-time language to support things like function declarations after references and proper type checking, but compiling unoptimized is practically instant and you can load new sources at runtime, start a REPL, and do everything else you can with an interpreted language. Now having a simple compiler with all these features may be impossible, so worse-case there is just a simple interpreter, a separate type-checker, and a separate performance-optimized JIT compiler (like Lua and LuaJIT).

Also like Lua and high-level assembly, debugging unoptimized is also really simple and direct. By default, there aren’t optimizations which elide variables, move instructions around, and otherwise clobber the data so the debugger loses information, not even tail-call optimization. Execution is so simple someone will create a reliable record-replay, time-travel debugger which is fast enough you could run it in production, and we can have true in-depth debugging.

Now that i’ve wrote all that I realize this is basically ML. But oCaml still has weird quirks (the object system), SML too honestly, and I doubt their compilers are small and simple enough to be embedded. So maybe a modern ML dialect with a few new features and none of the more confusing things which are in standard ML.

So it's not about Monkeypox as it exists today, but a fear of what Monkeypox might become if it changed into something it presently isn't? Because as it is, it seems to kill very few people but gives people disfiguring scars. Like chickenpox.
Can you explain the experiments and physics that justifies physicists beliefs in the Copenhagen interpretation of QM?
I largely agree with the other reply here. The value increases as the users knowledge of tools, techniques, and community increases. This, however, takes a substantial amount of time. Most people simple aren’t willing or are unable to pay for the investment.

I disagree that people leave to guilds or build out their own space, except when they’ve outgrown the current space (which is so rare I can count the number of people on 1 hand). I can’t recall anyone leaving to a guild. A few people did go into the trades and took good jobs, eventually leaving.

The cheap trinket market is saturated and tough to crack, making it difficult for small makers to get a footing. It is possible, but it takes a fair bit of marketing/sales knowledge to get it rolling. I coached many early stage entrepreneurs who thought their stickers and laser etched boxes would make them a living. Unfortunately, they were usually not able to capture the long term value of the space and we’re gone within 2 months.

I think there’s a quality to price ratio problem for makers. Their specialized skillset which takes years to master is simply not worth that much to most clients. It is hard for clients to justify paying $1500 for a desk when you can get something that works and looks okay for $200 from IKEA or target.

Maybe I’m wrong, but these are the things I’ve noticed.

Mostly I was just skeptical that someone was actually trying to reach through a goddamn internet comment and say a professional's diagnosis isn't correct and that they, having read some comments, have better insight.

It does seem like that was the correct read though, which yes does change my relationship to the conversation sorry.

There are organizations that generate forgotten apps that are basically used but unmaintained. These are tarpits for developers. You don't want to be the person they fling at every forgotten codebase. They tend to be sideshows - if they really brought in the money, or the users, the business would invest in them and have people who know the language.

There's value in being able to go in, fix a little problem, and make things better for your customers. But you have to balance that against becoming the guy who works on the unimportant projects. That's real bad. If there's growth potential for the forgotten app, you have to get buy-in from the business and not just sideline yourself away from the things people care about.

Often these tarpits were contractually mandated. One customer wants a particular integration, so a developer builds it, and it works for the customer and everything is fine until another customer comes along wanting a similar integration and now the original dev is gone.
What does the verification process look like?
Not sure this is a particularly helpful comment.

I liked 2 the best, especially with a dock. I understand what they were attempting in 3, but it was such a letdown.

Writing everything in JS was a weird decision. I remember for the first few releases, having to constantly restart the shell because the JS engine leaked so badly. You could watch RSS grow indefinitely everytime you moused over the top left corner.

It's a lot better now, usable with a few extensions...but I still think what a waste it was tossing 2 like they did. Extensions are an OK idea, but because they're mostly JS and CSS, there doesn't seem to be much safety there. It's very common for them to break each release because of some obscure attribute change.
I'm not sure if you don't know or don't want to know what SB does, but it's not propaganda, neither is it vendor-locking. Most widespread vendor locks don't use SB, neither is the functionality only usable for that (well duh, it could be, because you can choose your root of trust, but you can choose the root).

You might as well call other tech Linux doesn't play well with "vendor-locking" as this point with no concern, even if there are no real "locks" like that, just lack of support. "TME doesn't work? Literally vendor-locking and Microsoft propaganda!1!"

Security corporations, known for their cargo culting in addition to the usual corporate bullshit, aren't a great example. But bringing then up like they somehow were... makes you wonder indeed.
Forget about conspiracy though, the WHO should have a relatively clear and narrow mandate, while the UN is known to be a toothless assortment of petty bureaucrats involved in everything with no clear consensus. The only thing they share is the goal of their members to grow their personal fiefdoms.
