IANAL but seems like intentionally giving up the specific JavaScript trademark would actually help with that, since if a disagreement over JavaScript ever went to court and Oracle lost it could very easily domino into the Java trademark. Give it up and it never goes to court.

There's something very wrong with the game community.

I've learned enough during stupid internet fights I have had on reddit to never continue a conversation with an avid gamer, no matter the subject. Stories like this one you linked to on merkur.de (read via Google Translate, but I think they got it right) confirm to me that that was the correct call.
Political neutrality is important for the tech industry. I appreciate Cloudflare trying its best to be neutral. When harm is done, the fault lies at the feet of the perpetrator. Blaming their utility company, hosting provider, DNS registrar, grocer, butcher, barber, etc. is lunacy.

Did anyone have a weird 'throwback' feeling seeing this on the front page?

(This might not make a lot of sense...)

Thinking about Down's syndrome in today's world somehow doesn't 'fit', like existentially and culturally feels like a holdover from another era (except that in reality it's not)

Somehow a few days of Dall-E/diffusion posts in a row and it's jarring to 'go back' in time to 80s or whatever of worries about Downs--- rather than mRNA, autism, current medical zeitgeist.

stuff like this really makes me think about the twin-nuclei (atom and cell) problem/ idea of Eric Weinstein.

It indicates a weird unspoken tension, a tether between the last moments of old world and the first moments of a new world.

"The Twin Nuclei Era began in the space of four months in 1952-3 with the first test of the Teller-Ulam fusion device in early November of 1952 followed by the discovery of 3D structure of DNA in late February of 1953."

For over 70 years we've already have lived in a world reshaped around the tech of the atom bomb for a while, but because it's been slower going, we still don't know what a world reshaped around the tech of the cell will be.

And culturally we've mostly just avoided it like a giant dysfunctional family taboo that makes everyone tense. Barely any of our movies or cultural products have helped reckon with it seriously. Usually cultures grab onto an idea and go through an entire 4 seasons cycle/obsession with it, cross pollinating in multiple genres, recycling tropes, high and low brow versions, etc.

But somehow it feels like we jumped to the fun of AI and space instead.

One occasional Gattaca or an organ-harvesting clone sci-fi, very very few works of depth.

Like genetic engineering of individuals and populations is just too close and real and grimey to handle, too explosive. "Demographics is Destiny" as a saying has been haunting me since I read it, but there's so little to explore /dive into regarding visions of the future, fictional or non-fiction takes. (And hell, I feel we barely have a grip on basic anthropology of how our current society regarding works, power, elites, etc)

Everything feels on the cusp of a decade or so (cloning, crispr, ivf, stem cells, demographic planning of sex ratios, aging and healthspan stuff, surrogates, artificial wombs etc), but there's this huge silent inertia tension feeling of researchers working in the shadows before some nation officially shoots the starting gun starts the race and forces every society into a headlong rush towards the biomedical musical chairs/ the next balance of power.

The existence of a trademark doesn't prevent you using that trademark (as in referencing it like "this app is written in JavaScript".)

Clearly Oracle is not defending the trademark, and it is likely its too late to start. Worst case they pick on you, you change your docs to say Ecmascript.

Frankly it's safer where it is, than being released so the USPO or something can issue it to someone else.

A bigger intrinsic problem is lay-programmers confusing JavaScript with Java, and unfortunately there's no fixing that.

How I have seen sprints done is you commit to X Y Z, have a definition of done like “is in production” and then developer works on X, gets X code reviewed and so on.

If the aim is that the right amount of work is in each sprint then naturally the last day will be busy trying to get stuff reviewed.
The additional information would be “the board is getting pissed and you need to fix this now”.

That isn’t actually true. A few certainly are, and they make great press fodder. But most don’t have that luxury. Actually it’s a burden: you suffer much more dilution.
Maybe a better analogy is an energy provider: You don't expect them to turn off somebody's power because they are listening to the wrong kind of music.

Energy companies are publicly traded companies as well, I don't see what difference this fact makes in the analogy and the argument.

The page says:

> SQLite reads and writes small blobs 35% faster¹ than the same blobs can be read from or written to individual files on disk using fread() or fwrite().

This is likely because of the hierarchical nature of the filesystem. The filesystem path lookup can be slower than DB index lookup (depends on actual implementation). I haven't tried this, but something like getdents(2) would improve the performance of the test C code here, as one can skip full path lookup.

There's no universal answer here. It depends quite a bit on the people, the topic, the prior context each person has, their abilities to formulate their thoughts effectively and (last though perhaps not least) their writing/typing speeds. Heck, even when all of these factors are the same, different modes can be more efficient in different situations, depending on what kind of outcome you want (say, an exhaustive analysis vs. a quick sketch of an idea). I'm not sure why anyone would claim or expect a universal answer here.
https://archive.ph/stLB5 (I encountered a paywall after accidentally closing the tab)

The $330m figure is mentioned in the title and at the top of the article but nowhere else. I'm not sure what purpose it serves except for attracting clicks and trying to provoke a visceral "wow that's a waste of money" response. (I'm sure we'd allot unlimited funds if there actually was an asteroid.)

Regardless, it's an interesting experiment and it will be nice to see results next month (how soon after the September 27 collision will analysis be possible?).

> The best known collision occurred 66 million years ago when a 10 km wide asteroid struck Chicxulub in the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. The collision created a blast that had the energy of several billion atomic bombs and led to the destruction of 75% of all plant and animals species, including all land-based dinosaurs.

> Since then, films such as Don’t Look Up, Armageddon and Deep Impact have depicted similar devastation being triggered by asteroid or comet crashes in modern times.

Unrelated, I found the above use of "since then" really funny, because it's comparing movies from the past twenty-five years to sixty-six million years ago.
> It isn't actually Db2. They call it "Db2 for i," but it's a completely different codebase from what you'll find on z/OS and elsewhere.

From what I understand, the DB2/400 code base was forked from SQL/DS – so its closest relative is Db2 for VM/VSE – and Db2 for i is as much Db2 as Db2 for VM/VSE or Db2 for LUW is. (Db2 for z/OS is itself descended from SQL/DS – it started out as a port of SQL/DS from VM/CMS to MVS, although I believe most or all of the SQL/DS code was rewritten early in its development history and there may be little or none left by now.)

> IBM i (as OS/400 is now called) relies on it for storing things like source code and bound programs in addition to, well, data

Not really. You are talking about storing objects (including files) in the classic OS/400 filesystem – which hasn't fundamentally changed from that of S/38 – and S/38 didn't have SQL. During the development of OS/400, they took the higher layers of SQL/DS and ported them on top of the S/38 file system. But if we are talking about how RPG code is stored, that's all about those lower layers which predate SQL support

> YCBR1 that contains a physical file named QRPGLESRC, you can run `SELECT srcseq, srcdta FROM ycbr1/qrpglesrc` against it even though the members in that physical file are RPG IV source code

Nowadays, many other RDBMS systems support querying OS files as if they were DB tables.

I won't deny that IBM i makes it somewhat more seamless than most other systems – but I think that's mainly because it is seen as somewhat of a niche requirement, other systems could easily make it more seamless if it was seen as a priority. No "deep" integration with the OS is necessary to implement it, either
Yet, my ads become more valuable when they have data that I’m interested in a specific subject. Absent if that data, the ads are worth less.
crime.to is a bit different in that the owners and moderators themselves are involved and eventually get caught, whereas kiwifarms love to pretend it's merely a gossip site (even if people on it are not notable and the conversation exceeds gossip quite often). It's more the spiritual successor to 1337crew or carders (the later of which had a policy of all staff using names of greek OR roman gods - sometimes duplicates, which tells you all you need about it)

Also, Drachenlord is being harassed from essentially every german speaking website that doesn't have good moderation policies (hi pr0gramm) or doesn't enforce them (hi twitter); crime.to is not really the flashpoint. He also has a thread on Kiwifarms that's quite active.

I find real time makes people lazy and “take things for granted.”

This is good insight. I does make me wonder if Tesla actually has a chance. Their software doesn't seem all that great. The UX in a Tesla got objectively worse on Christmas day, 2021 when they released a big change and gave us fart noises instead of a good UX. It now takes several more touches to do common tasks than it did December 24th, 2021.

For some inexplicable reason they have a web browser in the car. Every time I've tried it it crashes the Tesla's computer. Even viewing the Tesla manual reliably crashes the Tesla's computer.

If Apple really is working on a car, and if cars really are now just computers with wheels, then it's not at all clear that Tesla has the software skills to keep up with Apple (or whatever company actually has the skills).
To play devil's advocate being able to generate this kind of content on demand with AI may actually make things significantly worse.

The reason why revenge porn, rumours, and defamation are all possible online is because there's a level of plausibility to these things -- especially revenge porn.

Now that plausibility goes out the window because of AI generated content. Someone posts your actual nudes? Give a nervous laugh and say that AI made them.

Someone says they heard a rumour about you and asks if it's true? Say 'don't believe everything you read on the internet, you know they have AI that writes anything you want now, right?"
Can’t you just call it ECMAScript

We're at about the right point in the timeline to start calling it YavaScript which both solves the trademark problem and keeps us on the path laid out in prophesy.
I agree, I think in his attempt to be overly transparent he's made himself a target for these social media mobs. At the end of the day he's a businessman and if his business' financial needs require it to shut websites down then that's unfortunate but that's life as a business. But to air out all their thoughts and deliberations makes them seem vulnerable to persuasion efforts.

I actually think the other half of the reason why Cloudflare became such a target is because of their 404 cloudflare site that displays when the origin host goes offline. It's essentially an ad for cloudflare, there is no technical need for them to show this. Only: if my site protected by akamai goes down, I dont believe my users will see that it was protected by akamai. It's just offline.
The best protection cloudflare has is to stop making it so easy to see who is protected by them. In fact, they should even stop giving out information on who they are protecting and put it into their TOS that social media sites are not allowed to broadcast the fact that they are protected by cloudflare.

These would be practical steps to massively help Cloudflare mitigate further risks.

> These tradeoffs are often intensely difficult to pursue openly. Who wants to be known as the politician in favor of benefits fraud or the financial CEO who thinks they are not laundering enough money?

It is very easy to explain such things, if you can hold two ideas in your head at the same time. It goes like this: "We will pursue benefits fraudsters via every method available to us that does not compromise our ability to get benefits to people who need them, which we must never forget is our primary mission."

People used to talk like this. Politicians used to talk like this! Within my lifetime!

Alas, I know the author is right. That thought is too complicated for us now. Monomania is the curse of the age, which is tragic. Life is complicated enough to require thoughtful tradeoffs between several competing variables, and cannot be simlified.

6+ years of experience engineering for the Web using JavaScript. Comfortable working across platforms. Fast learner. Great soft skills.
It wasn't the right time yet. Virtualization has only just come to the data center and taken off. People no longer have their single expensive PC, but utilize a multitude of devices. Cloud storage is just making its way onto people's phones and devices. The full suite of VMware products is essentially already a commercially lucrative operating system for the data center / cloud. I think this is a long term trend rather than a fad. Its not the hottest new framework, but rather the culmination of incremental changes over decades. We might not call it an operating system - we'll probably give it a fancier name to generate hype. But the idea is the same none the less.

I always have had problem with this definition... what do you mean by "implementation"? in my head "implementations" are "programs".

Like... "C" is a specification, "gcc" is an implementation.
"Python" is a specification, "CPython", "PyPy", ... are implementations.
"ECMAScript" is a specification, "webkit", "spidermonkey", ... are implementations.

"JavaScript" is a (trademarked) specification, and also "ECMAScript" and "JavaScript" are "very very similar" (wink wink)
It shouldn't, unless you derive your idea of worth from your intelligence, which you also shouldn't.
Yes, I use Evernote as a searchable scanned documents database (I don’t need plain text notes, and I have thousands of scans lying around from the last 12 years). Every bill, receipt, signed contract, insurance claim etc. gets scanned and goes to Evernote, with tags for quick access. I pay full $80/year for it.

I would really love to switch to something else, but there is no alternative. There is no other document database with built-in OCR. I tried for years to find it, but apparently there is nothing else.

Managing plain-text notes is the easiest part. I could do it with Orgmode if I wanted to. But I don’t know how I could manage my scanned documents, if not in Evernote.
Why? We all have to pay for shelter and food. This looks like what could become a fantastic business and product. I applaud their commitments to privacy and open-source at such an early stage. I am looking forward to hearing about Notesnook more in the future.
