One possible way of seeing it, for example for a function: the specification is the table of input/output values.

The implementation is the actual code that transforms the input to the output.

There can be many different implementations for one specification.
Beautiful observation on Ars Technica[1]: "Google's damaged reputation made the death of Stadia a self-fulfilling prophecy. No one buys Stadia games because they assume the service will be shut down, and Stadia is forced to shut down because no one buys games from it."

There are loads of libraries for lua. You can either get them from luarocks in modern fashion or as more ad hoc source code in the old school. They're either written in C, against a stable language API, or in lua. Or a mix, doesn't make much difference. Also you can splice them directly into lua itself, e.g. the interpreter I use has libuv and sqlite built in.

The argument against shipping everything with the language is that the standard library is where code goes to die. Once shipped, fear of breaking users tends to block all progress. See mature languages like python and c++.

And regarding lack of innovation, lua has coroutines in the base language. Real ones that don't need co_await written near them. It has a module system built on dictionaries. It ships the compiler, so writing source code that you eval on the fly works out of the box.

Lua is spectacularly good. We are blessed to have it available.
A strategy my friend used was to get the "soft offer" and then shop around for a team for as long as it takes to find one that excited him.
>> No, the fuel cycle doesn't depend on Seversk + "Literally selling spent fuel" (instead of burying it)

well, if you put it that way, then the fuel cycle doesn't even exist at all, france just imports fresh uranium from Russia, Nigeria, Kazhakstan and Australia and sells spent fuel to Russia.

> and EDF says that nothing was sent yet

under that new contract maybe, here is an article from 2009 in which EDF "told news agency AFP that it is only “recyclable uranium from fuel processing at EDF nuclear power stations that is transported to Russia to be enriched.” - rfi.fr/actuen/articles/118/article_5481.asp

> No, you are lying once again. The uranium deposits are not worth exploiting

that is literally what i said. They are not worth exploiting

> So, no, your sources are Greenpeace and are lying.

that is just low effort insults, here have an IAEA uranium deposit database: https://infcis.iaea.org/UDEPO/ France largest "reserves" are the trace amounts in the rocks around a mine they closed 21 years ago. Even if the price rises to a point where exploitation of those trace amounts becomes worthwhile again, there are no large reserves in europa, we are talking a demand in the thousands of tons per year.

The nuclear industry in europa depends on imports, stop peddling some makebelieve about large untapped reserves with which europa could theoretically become energy independent if they would just use them. It is nonsensical
Zuck is absolutely going to call back all the remote engineers that he hired over the past two years to the office, and just like with Tesla, those who refuse will be involuntarily separated. Work from home, _is_ going to die at the megacorps.
This sums it up nicely. The entire UK economy is a stack of cards with home ownership at the very bottom. If property prices plummet, the whole thing goes down.

Not to mention that a large portion of MPs are also landlords so doing anything about it would not only harm the economy as a whole but would directly hurt their own income streams.

I would say that the internet has actually played a pivotal role in bringing about the situation we’re in now. Before, the rich could keep the information to themselves and rule the game. Now, the information is out there on the net for everyone to find. Now more and more people are trying to join the landlord game which leaves a smaller and smaller group of workers to actually keep the country running.

All of this was made even worse by the fact that Brexit ended up stopping the flow of people at the bottom of the pyramid keeping the whole thing up. The only way out of this situation is for companies to reduce the amount of money they pay out at the top and increase the amount they pay to the bottom, it’s the only way to avoid a housing crash. But companies will never do this voluntarily, they’ll have to be forced by a drastic legal minimum wage hike.

This likely won’t happen until Labour get in power. The problem is that this minimum wage hike, may bide some time, but will also lead to bankrupting many small to medium size businesses.

There really is no solution other than to let the house market crash as it should have done a long time ago, and to rebuild the economy based on actual productive work rather than the essentially fake money being generated through rising property prices which are outpacing wages. The problem is that if this were to happen, we are talking Great Depression scale levels of homelessness. I would say the effects may even be worse because a lot of people have become accustomed to a comfortable, modern existence and aren’t going to know how to survive if it’s taken away in the same way that people in the 1920s might have done. The one thing that might help is that technology has come such a long way with things like insulation and clothing that may lessen the worst of it.

No political party wants to be remembered as the one who caused the Depression because they will be so unpopular they may actually cease to exist. Some Tory MPs have been quoted as saying this is “an extinction level event” for the party. Some polls are showing that if an election were held tomorrow the tories would go from having 350 odd seats today, to somewhere between 3 and 70. And that’s just at the threat of mortgage rates going up to 6%, it hasn’t even happened yet.

If the conservatives went below fifty seats, the SNP would become the official opposition. For the last 100 years, the two main parties have been Labour and The Conservatives. The Tory party have been around in some form since 1834, if this were to happen (and it’s looking increasingly likely) it would be truly monumental in British politics.

Centuries? I haven't taken a close look at VR (though I'm flirting with buying a headset soon, just for kicks...) but I'd always assumed it was more like 10-25 years away.

What are the hardware breakthroughs that you think would do it?
It's probably just different. I don't know what the Steam Link is like. GFN streams the games from a datacenter, so the quality will depend on the quality of your internet connection. Also, GFN can't play all Steam games; publishers have to agree to allow their games to be played on GFN, and several major publishers don't agree (eg Bethesda, Rockstar). All that said, I'm happy with it. Usually I can't tell at all that it's being streamed, and it's cool to be able to max out every single graphics setting without thinking about it.
The post makes it blindingly clear that he disagrees with them, and that it's more a question of feasibility. Because Tumblr needs to work with credit companies and Apple in order to be sustainable, they have to play by their rules or not exist.

The section "What about async/await?", which compares these virtual threads to async/await is very weak. After reading this article, I came away with the impression that this is a dramatically worse way to solve this problem than async/await. The only benefit I see is that this will be simpler to use for the (increasingly rare) programmers who are not used to async programming.

The first objection in the article is that with async/await you to may forget to use an async operation and could instead use a synchronous operation. This is not a real problem. Languages like JavaScript do not have any synchronous operations so you can't use them by mistake. Languages like python and C# solve this with simple lint rules that tell you if you make this mistake.

The second objection is that you have to reimplement all library functions to support await. This is a bad objection because you also have to do this for virtual threads. Based on how long it took to add virtual threada to Java vs adding async/await to other languages, it seems like virtual threads were much more complicated to implement.

The programming model here sounds analogous to using gevent with python vs python async/await. My opinion is that the gevent approach will die out completely as async/await becomes better supported and programmers become more familiar.

EDIT: Looking more at the "Related Work" section at the bottom. I think I understand the problem here. The "Structured Concurrency" examples are unergonomical versions of async/await. I'm not sure what I'm missing but this seems like a strictly worse way to write structured concurrent code.

Java example:

Response handle() throws ExecutionException, InterruptedException {
try (var scope = new StructuredTaskScope.ShutdownOnFailure()) {
Future<String> user = scope.fork(() -> findUser());
Future<Integer> order = scope.fork(() -> fetchOrder());

scope.join(); // Join both forks
scope.throwIfFailed(); // ... and propagate errors

// Here, both forks have succeeded, so compose their results
return new Response(user.resultNow(), order.resultNow());
}
}

Python equivalent

async def handle() -> Response:
# scope is implicit, throwing on failure is implicit.
user, order = await asyncio.gather(findUser(), findOrder())

return Response(user, order)

You could probably implement a similar abstraction in Java, but you would need to pass around and manage the the scope object, which seems cumbersome.
I was more likely to click on context-sensitive ads. Most targeted ads I see these days are for products that I've already bought in the past few weeks, which just boggles my mind.

Edit: Even today, I'm still seeing ads for a subwoofer that I bought back in early August. Good going, Meta.

I'm certain the reason CC companies want to drop adult services is because of the vastly increased risk of charge backs, but I suspect they'd cast a wider net if not for politics. Absent the risk they'd be happy to pocket the cash, but with it public opinion gives them an out

And it looks totally fine. Thanks for making sure those gates are kept though.

So what should be done to appease you? Add some corporate memphis? Maybe do some cool brutalist stuff that gets designers excited and that no other human being in the world wants?
The version that you proposed wouldn't have worked
Since Europe has not enough natural resources to be self reliant, and the US only has enough oil gas due to fracking, there is no alternative other than dealing with oppressive, human rights ignoring regimes. Iran is under sanctions, the UAE and Saudi are by no means better the Putin at his worst days (we in the West just don't give a damn about the war in Sudan and Yemen). And yes, closer relationships to Russia are, well have been, a good thing.

Russia decided to throw all that away in a failed bid to keep NATO away from their borders. Or rather Putin did.

> IMO streaming games still has a lot of potential.

Not with the current internet speed.

The vast majority of people is below anything that would play "okay", and almost everyone is below a speed that would play well (1 GBPS).

Until 1 GBPS is the default EVERYWHERE, streaming games has 0 potential.

I don't need encrypted email and all the hassle that goes along with that. That's not my threat model (and it wouldn't help since 50%+ of my email goes to Google and Microsoft anyway ...).

All I want is an email provider somewhere that will actually force someone to show up in person with a subpoena rather than turn over all my emails to a random bureaucrat who waggles some electrons suggestively.
This is not your regular quick scientific paper, though. It's the result of a very large phase three trial, involving hundreds of very qualified people, and a budget of around a billion dollars. It's as serious as it can be. Of course, we should probably wait to see what the outcome of the FDA review will be.

There is no value add in dealers. At all. Pushy sales people. Add-ons that you don’t need. Giant inventories.

I wish I could build & order my next BMW online. And then get my own financing or BMWs, without having to sit with the finance guy who is going to be pushing a warranty plan and his financing for a kickback.

All that to pay for stuff I don’t need.

They are two different things. Did you mean "sex slaves in porn"?

Also, any kind of slave is a problem. You don't need to qualify it.
I recall it as USA found out from a spy the shopping list, and created sabotaged items that would be stolen. Supposedly the explosion shockwaves were expected by a few USA insiders. I have yet to read the referenced book, though it looks like a fascinating (though white-washed) read.
The answer could be: because they like it.

People do great stuff with computers and programming and I think this is a good example. Passion is what it's all about.
to my understanding, it's for those who can imagine (and predict time) how to write simple additional httprequest to external URI and create simple `route` in their NodeJS app [for getting callbacks], but who's not confident on wtf is `man systemd.timer` (smells like all dead sysadmins' zombie magic) which `service unit` it should trigger and what actually to run under that service unit. How to deploy all that after all.

Indie/solo devs, if that express state of things better, who are assured their product will be never run in internal/isolated networking, for example or never need to stop some specific cron but not all of them during migration, blah blah blah.
yes, and running `smartctl -a disk0`
Why does this read like Chuck Palahniuk
It's really hard to diversify away from a major cash cow product. Everyone else's success gets compared to the cash machine. Ask for another 30 engineers to work on a product with only 100 MM profit, why aren't you more successful?

People get wise to this dynamic and just start selling dreams. Everyone can buy into the dream of the next Billion dollar product, it's harder to get buy-in to just grind out a measly 50% YoY growth.
Europe's gas problem is entirely theoretical and goes away if any part of Russia exists and wants to be part of society at the end of the winter, or if 2 in 3 Europeans can follow simple directions to not be selfish and dead.

I find it tiring that any country that plays chicken with the superpowers gets all these warnings and abuse while the superpowers themselves do not give a crap who does what to undo their progress to Armageddon.

Germany was right to give Russia an option not to suck, the idea that Russia would not already suck worse by now and yet still be a military superpower if Germany didn't try to keep a vague semblance of balance in economics is a fantasy.

Is it seriously believable that Russia would have done nothing with violence by now to force changes in the economics if the west was shunning its natural resources for strategic reasons since the 1990's?
If a story is a rehash of "many" stories, then it's actually a new story. Similar to how an "Airbnb but for dog walkers" isn't actually a ripoff of Airbnb, but is in fact an original idea.
Sounds like you have a standard nautical chart (although when I check 3134 is Islas Canarias to Nouakchott). Now you need the yacht :)
There are some good reviewers out there yeah. Sadly, they often rely on the creator's passion moreso than getting paid by their audience to provide a service. Youtube ad revenue and Amazon affiliate links are keeping these people's lights on more than the "thank you's" of their most ardent "supporters".

Google tightening the belt on Youtube monetization is probably, strangely, the best thing that could have happened to mostly-direct payments to content creators. Patreon and the like have made viewers at least somewhat more willing to pay out to access content. On the flip side, it seems to have also led to an explosion of more biased reviewers pushing their own discount codes and affiliate links to make up the difference.

There's a cultural misalignment somewhere. Journalism still hasn't cracked the nut nor has scientific peer review. Information curation and verification isn't cheap regardless of how much we'd like it to be so.
The pocket operators are great value, the PO-20 is one of the best all-in-one groove boxes around and the price makes it a total bargin.

However, the cases are pure ripoff territory. I wonder if there are 3rd party ones available.

Money and control is what it's about. That usually means making someone dependent on you in order to access/use their own stuff, making it hard to migrate their data away from your service, and taking every advantage of the data being collecting.

I've never seen a saas product that isn't using and/or "sharing" their customer's data for their own benefit somehow. If they exist at all, they're the exception and not the rule.
How much of that needs to relate to the memory usage though? Embedded media doesn't need to be loaded besides what's visible in the current channel and perhaps a bit of scrollback, perhaps some text and scrollback for other frequently viewed channels. Livestreams also shouldn't be taking memory unless you're watching, same with voice. Avatars and emotes would certainly take memory, but certainly not hundreds of megabytes of it.

Car alarm ban in new models seems like a no-brainer. They create a nuisance and don't even work as intended. There are so many silent ways to notify the owner of potential theft. I don't mean with fancy smartphone stuff necessarily, I mean via the RF key fob everyone already carries. Some vibrate.

What's funny is CA outlawed ICE cars by whatever year but didn't touch car alarms. And a while back they mandated that truck reverse beepers be even louder than elsewhere, which is a trickier situation than car alarms, but I've noticed Amazon vans with white noise reverse sounds that do the job well.

Yes, the way it normally functions is directly connected to the Stadia server over wifi. It does show up as a controller connected over USB too. But Bluetooth is just for setting up the wifi connection.

I don't even want to call it pairing because the way you pair the controller to your game session is to enter in a 5 button combination that is displayed on your TV.
I use emacs.org and export from there to other formats.
Under contracts signed before 2014. Seems like a detail worth mentioning.

EDIT: Which is bad reason, but at least an understandable when it comes to foreign policy. And it is not that arms exports are actually hindered by morals, all the exports to Saudi, UAE, Mexico and every other crisis region show otherwise. Personally, I think the West shouldn't export to those countries or conflict zones. The West also needs the industrial base to maintain reasonably strong militaries so, and with defense spending being a less than popular thing after the Cold War ended, exports are necessary for that. This could change so, and already did in Germany with additional military spending.
Yup, I believe it.
