I have accounts on both. I think the chess.com video content is great, the puzzle content is great, all the extra little features like puzzle rush is great… the one unfortunate thing is the ads. I pay for chess.com but when friends play it sounds pretty annoying.

There’s a lot of incidental stuff I dislike in lichess’ UI, but at the end of the day chess.com offers lots of stuff to learners (straightforward reviews, with recent game review features offering _why_ moves are good)

But hey, more power to everyone! Just tired of people going out of their way to claim that chess.com is garbage. I’m glad lichess exists and will play some games on it. But there’s a reason that chess.com has more users and it’s not just the domain name.
Same reason Google search result is broken. The algorithm rewards people who play the algorithm.

Cost to Create a Video Sharing App
In this article, we will look at how to develop your own live video streaming app, what it takes to do so, and offer some tips on how to ensure your live video streaming app is successful in its development and launch stage.
I have used PHP extensively and moved to node then finally settled on using golang. I think PHP does have a place as a current programming language but much more small scale operations.

It is just more complicated, to run a PHP site you need to have knowledge of PHP, PHP config, server config, the tooling is poor, there is always something else you need to bolt on to get a similar experience to a modern development language, there are so many ways you can write bad code or write code in a different style to others around you sharing this in a team is hard.

At my company we still run PHP apps and everything we want to do as an organisation is relatively simple in Go, but hard with PHP. I imagine the issues and problems we have with it are why it is not well used in large organisations

>"In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?"

No, I distinguish between "explainable" and "explanatory". To give an example, the theory of epicycles is a predictive model, that is also explainable, but it is not explanatory. Kepler's laws of planetary motion are an explanatory model that is also explainable and predictive.

The theory of epicycles is predictive because it predicts the motions of the planets, as they are observed in the night sky. It is explainable because anyone can perform the necessary calculations and understand how the predicted motions are, well, predicted. The theory of epicycles is not an explanatory model because it does not explain why the planets should move in circular orbits with epicyclical sub-orbits. Kepler's laws are explanatory because they explain planetary motion as a result of Newton's law of universal gravitation, are predictive because they can be used to predict the motion of the planets and are explainable because anyone can plug in the numbers and see how the results are calculated.

So an "explanatory" model is a theory that explains why things happen they way they happen. A predictive model only predicts that some things will happen. An explainable model explains why it made a prediction, but it does not explain why this prediction should hold or with what frequency.

Another way to see this is that an explanatory model explains past observations and predicts future observations, while a predictive model only predicts future observations and has no explanatory power, cannot explain why past phenomena were observed.

An "explainable" model is just a model that people can understand. It's not more complicated than that.
? With Graphql and Phoenix you use a RDBMS to provide data for the queries you write. Its not a replacement.

Its also not even much a paradigm shift in my experience. Queries are simply analogs to GETs and Mutations are analogs to POSTS. Thats about all you need to know to get started. To convert a REST app to a GraphQL app is ridiculously straight forward. What it does much better than REST is nested lookups, being typed, and being able to request more than one piece of data at a time.

Politics aside, as a non-native speaker this makes me think of the word "likely". If you use it, just how likely is the event that you apply it to? Is it equivalent to "probably", or to "possibly"? In German we have "wahrscheinlich", which is the same as "probably" (and "Wahrscheinlichkeit", "probability" and "likelihood" are synonyms), so that would mean "likely" is the same as "probably"?

Ok so on this point - and please, if you must, wear a tin foil hat for what's coming.

I'm sort of convinced that Sunak isn't daft, nor is he surrounded by daft pipe-smoking unicorn-chasers.

So I'm sort of convinced that when such a wide and sort of untenable request is made, it is expected that:

1. It will be pushed as morally necessary ("what about the children? we must protect them!")

2. There will be more pushback, because it's too stupidly hard to enforce national mandates on a global level ("the UK demands, but we don't care")

3. Voices of reason harmonising (1) and (2) will say, the necessity isn't questioned, but perhaps the onus of IDing the users should be on the nation that imposes the (morally acceptable, technically unfeasible) requirement

4. The compromise is reached with a UK national ID card (blockchained, if you want to add garnish), which Brits then must use to access anything and everything online and offline.

Perfect security [state], if you ask me.

> To 1960s audiences, the Jetsons’ videophone — a big piece of hardware whose staticky screen gives way to an image of the person trying to reach you — seemed like a dream.

In early 1936, in Germany there was the first public video telephone service, Gegensehn-Fernsprechanlagen [1]

I think there were experiments in Russia and France about videophones in the 1960', and indeed in US in 1964 there was the ATT picture phone [0]

And in the 1960' if you had access to a copper leased line you could send data at 2Mbits/sec, that what was in Telecoms trunks between digital PBX. And repeaters were made without any ICs, on pure twisted copper lines, without any transformers, only with a few transistors, capacitors, inductance and resistances!

I taught about those lines and their equipment, early in 1980 in France. It was boring old stuff at the time, I was much more interested by microprocessors!

Something funny is that in 1989 there were ISDN experiments in France and business customers (in Rennes) were surprised that it was possible to send data at 2MBits/sec on copper links.

Indeed this was not possible on customers/subscribers phone lines because of transformers and PCM modulation (for the lucky ones), which limited bandwidth from ~300-3400 Hertz.

The x/n videos are mostly - not all obviously but mostly - pirated copyrighted content in shortened clips, reversed or mirrored, shrunk, made more high pitch, or something to beat the algorithm. I agree it would be nice but I see why they broke that functionality.
Fair point- but how much of that is due to media do you think? Media has spent last 5 years creating false narratives just because they don’t like the orange guy is that it has built up pretty much disdain in half of the country. I still remember NYT calling for recession when Trump got elected. I think the root cause of this problem is not those 60% or whatever then number is on the other side, it’s lack of objective and trustworthy institutions like media.
> 60% of people are actively rooting for their country to do worse whenever their guy is not in charge.

What are you basing this statement on? No way is it 60%, more like 6% of the population, but perhaps 0.6%! Whatever it is the voices you hear are a tiny slither of the population skewed to the most disagreeable and combative end of the personality spectrum. So, unless you’ve done some world class polling to determine the answer to that then I’d suggest gaining more perspective.
I show someone a photo of a bowling ball and a styrofoam ball of the same shape and size. If someone thinks they can infer from a simple visual scan of the scene (analyzing the factors you see) are they delusional?

Perhaps they could leverage their lifelong training set which correlates scenes that look like they have bowling balls with scenarios that have a high mass movable sphere.

Perhaps we could have a good laugh together by painting a bowling ball to look like styrofoam and painting styrofoam to look like a bowling ball- then we could watch the silly ai/human apply an incorrect mental model and fail to grasp the causal reality! Ohohoho

May I ask why CouchDB though? Is it for the offline support?

Phoenix comes with its own database tool called Ecto[0] which is excellent, and it uses Postgres by default. If you're not intended to leverage CouchDB for offline support you should go Postgres without a second thought.

That said, I'm also curious about how to implement offline support with Phoenix in a nice and trivial way.

Depends on your audience.

If your audience consists mostly of programmers, use top-left they are familiar with.

If your audience is familiar with primary school math, choose their coordinate system: bottom-left.

It is just convention that is consistently kept within the certain community.
I would advise against any convention that is unused in your community.
Ecto is one of the "killer apps" in the Elixir ecosystem and you will very likely want to use it with Postgres.
It seems to me that if you're going to use functional programming, then you do need to have a way to maintain state and manage threads if you're going to run genuinely useful software.

So a platform oriented toward functional programming, such as Erlang's BEAM virtual machine, which gives you the thread management and architecture principles to really maximize the power of functional programming, makes the most sense to me.
You think political/economic debates always have to be productive? :)

Yeah it's a rather academic point. I guess some people like to actively rotate their portfolios as if their concerns about recession aren't already priced in. Otherwise you can make broad assumptions about what kind of job opportunities may exist over the next two years, how your company might do in a recession, etc and position yourself a little better. Perhaps it's not the right time to go for a risky consumer-facing startup, stuff like that.

For my part seeing all the supply shocks, and the fact that the Fed might pivot to combat a serious recession, caused me to a sign a two year lease to lock-in a lower rate, as I believe we're not done with inflation yet.
Unfortunately, this is a US-centric concept (and since Apple licensed instead of selling music these rights have eroded away). Most countries are in a worse position; with even some countries explicity banned reselling of digital articles.

Sure, for a visit or for business meetings.

I as a UK citizen can temporarily visit the US, or Japan, or Thailand on holiday.

I could also go to meet my colleagues there, go and sell something, go and buy something, go to a convention, etc. That's counted as "doing business"

Exactly! What we are discussing here is an ad-hoc solution. That $4 device will work for how long? A week? A month? Then we're up for the next one.

Yeah, the Fourier transform diagonalizes differentiation. Or in other words "differentiation is a Fourier multiplier". Integration is like a low-pass filter (you divide by the amplitude of a component by its frequency and so higher frequencies get quieter) and differentiation is "noisy" since high frequency components get louder.

d^2/dt^2(sin kt) = -k^2 sin(kt)

This idea is used in the study of partial differential equations, especially dispersive.

I was talking about a situation when prod is already down and something is better than nothing. For example, once we forgot to add timeouts to calls to a third-party service, everything worked great for a year, then suddenly the third-party server started hanging for no reason which made all our PHP processes hang, too, and those processes were holding DB connections so we went out of DB connections as well and the whole production went down. We quickly found the root cause and applied a hot fix (setting the timeout) by editing a PHP script on the prod server without waiting for the usual cycle "pull request -> code review -> deploy to stage -> testing -> release" which can take an hour.
I actually think the sidebar recommendations for a given video (at least for music) are still quite good. It's only when it starts taking into account your watch history does it start to get muddied up very fast. I wonder if there's an addon/userscript plugin that can wipe cookies upon every page refresh for a "pure" YouTube experience every time.
Replace TikTok with food, porn, or drugs. At some point the individual has to take responsibility for their actions and seek support if it's something they can't do on their own. Or we just ban everything.

Linus mostly compiles kernels and merges things and maybe replies to emails using a terminal, which is very different than most non-kernel development folks' idea of daily driveable. There's the whole GPU thing for example.

As a different reminder - Linux never worked really all that well on Apple's x86 hardware in the recent past!

Also as an compare and contrast - Lenovo has a dedicated Linux team to support Linux on standard x86 hardware - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Lenovo-Linux-2022-State - so does Dell. It takes a lot more than oh we will merely make sure other OS is a policy and rest is left to you to figure out OtherOS folks.
Yes, they're working from the top of the stack down, so first it was views+middleware, now it's the top layer of the database stack, and in future releases they'll work on pushing native async lower and lower in the stack.

Basically every function call that does db-queries needs an "a"-prefixed version. aget(), acreate(), aget_or_create(), acount(), aexists(), aiterator(), __aiter__, etc. And in future versions they'll work on the lower level, undocumented api, like _afetch_all(), aprefetch_related_objects(), compiler.aexecute_sql(), etc.

Eventually you'll probably need to switch database drivers to something that actually supports async.
