Is said legislative difference between Hong Kong (at least partially spared by censorship rules) and Mainland China considered stable?
Indeed. Killing no problem, but if the things you were killing were nazis the automation (might) hates you...

Of course, I dunno if it actually would detect and punish the content-- but that's the situation we've created: Where no one can know what the rules are and you're always policing yourself to reduce the risk of unexplained content removal or worse-- an unappealable de-platforming.

The denial – "Please know that Bruce has no partnership or agreement with this Deepcake company" – is carefully worded to be true even if he had an agreement at some previous time. Deepcake itself denies ever claiming that they'd bought any rights from Willis, only that they had his permission to create a deepfake. And, "The BBC asked Willis's agent whether he had ever worked with Deepcake, or whether the quote used by the company was accurate. The BBC has not yet received a response."

It was wonderful that we had the crying, puking, fainting fentanyl cops during the time that Havana Syndrome was being pushed.

When you accused Havana Syndrome sufferers of mass hysteria, Authorities would start explaining to you like you were a child how very important and very professional the sufferers are, and how it's just like not believing women when you don't believe that they were brain damaged by secret, very quiet, commie sound ray guns. You could reply with a video of a fentanyl cop.

I was thinking of this just a few weeks ago! When I made my first webpage in school (about 20 years ago) I used a sitemap made out of an image with map. I was thinking back to it and wondering whatever happened to that element.
Belief kind of implies lack of evidence, more a feeling or a faith, after all.
I don't want to compare to fiat. I think bitcoin should have had a purely linear emission. No reward halvings. No early adopter advantage. No mere crumbs for later generations.

Sure; it will take a century to get inflation down to 1%, but that means speculative use is strongly discouraged. As a result, its price would be much lower as would its environmental impact. While use as a peer-to-peer currency, its stated goal, would be largely unaffected.

mod_wasm: Run WebAssembly with Apache
Apache httpd is a modular web server that powers 31% of all websites you access every day. One of its most compelling features is the ability to extend it with new modules. Developers can choose among different modules to add or remove features like CGI, TLS, PHP, and many others.

Today, we announce a new Apache module to run WebAssembly modules: mod_wasm. This module opens a new set of possibilities as many languages and projects can run securely in Apache.
My landlord has to replace a rotting front porch, and that will cost him five months worth of the rent I pay him. There is so much more cost associated with owning a home than just the down payment and the mortgage payments. In fact, it often makes a lot more sense financially to rent, and it is also a lot more flexible.
There’s a lot here that is wrong, but you clearly won’t admit it. That said for others still reading here is a good article:

I know it doesn’t sell well, but most whites do, at some level, prefer blacks not to do well. Not because they necessarily hate blacks, but in aggregate it means they’ll do less well (in aggregate).

So you talk about facts, but the data shows that whites will choose to enact policy they think hurts blacks. Those are the facts.

> training website: you can use a hosted PG, or use a sqlite wasm

from a supabase POV (which is in the business of hosting Postgres databases), we will definitely be using this for training/tutorials. We have several thousand visitors to our docs every day, and hosting a database for every one of them is expensive.

We can now provide a fresh database for every user, and they can "save/restore" it with the click of a button is huge.

> use case is being offline

The offline use-case is definitely far-fetched in the current iteration. but that's the beauty of technology - something that seems impossible today can be mainstream in a decade.
P2P video is extremely difficult to do well. Video is sensitive to transfer bitrate, data order, and timing. None of these are things P2P is really good at providing. While P2P can ask for data ordering the actual availability of that order is dependent on the participants in the swarm.

Even then as a host you need to provide seeds for all your videos as a P2P swarm will only ever help with currently popular videos. So in actuality P2P ends up with similar hosting costs to traditional video hosting only providing a bandwidth savings on viral content everyone watches simultaneously.
Snaplet person here: Having a native WASM version would be a huge win for everyone, especially is storage is decoupled from compute!

At the moment the CPU and memory snapshot of the VM (with Postgres) is 12 MB, and subsequent reloads are cached. So yeah, not the worst, but not great.

An optimization is that we're using 9P filesystem. So accessing anything on disk is lazily loaded over the network.

> Are there future plans at creating a native WASM version of Postgres?

Yup! I think that should be the goal, and we (Supabase & Snaplet) would be very happy to work with anyone that wants to build towards that.

They don't really make that many machine for heavy automation to make much sense.

By the end of 2021 they had made ~140 EUV machines in total with commercial production starting in 2011. So if you average it out they make ~15 per year. Though the production rate has most likely ramped up over the years so most of those have been built closer to today then 2011.

And in those ~140 EUV machines there is many different versions with improvements. So you would have had to redo your automation lines multiple times over the process of building them.

In total they make around 300 machines per year at the moment but only a fraction of them are the highest end ones.

Isn’t the “a” the entire point of asynchronous communications? (That no one has to sit around all day to respond to them, as the medium is fundamentally async. If a few back-n-forths suggest that escalating to a synchronous medium is needed, that can still happen, but I’d bet well over 50% of initial contacts could be handled effectively totally async.)

I have nothing to add other than that's disgusting and we're disgusting.
There is no "latest commit" in that example; one has not been made in that repo at all.

The only prior state when the file didn't exist was before git was initialized. At no point did I make any edits to the file after creating it.

Git invented that prior state by equating the addition of a file to the index to an operation which creates a file where there was no file before. I.e. git is pretending that the file originated in git's index object, which owns it.

This is a good assumption for commits. When we check out to a commit where in which a file doesn't exist, leaving behind a commit in which it does, of course we want the file to disappear.

If we throw away an uncommitted index in which a file exists, to return to a clean HEAD where it doesn't, it's a bad idea to remove the file in that case, even though the index is commit-like in some respects.

There will be cases where that causes an unwanted file to inconveniently exist. Those situations could be taken care of by a flag in the index which tracks a file's provenance: was the file added to the index from the outside by a "git add", or is the file in the index as a result of a git operation (from where that file could be obtained again).
You can still use them, but you need JavaScript calculations to make sure the map still works when the image shrinks. Not a big deal to be honest.
Yes, but it is NOT more efficient than generating all that power, transmitting it, and then putting it into a battery, and reconverting it into mechanical energy again. End-to-end it is LESS efficient.

A tank of gas does not lose energy in transmission nor in storage, and it is far far more weight:performance efficient.
Javalin offers way less, it's more or less just the web routing layer. No databases, no ORM, no config loading, etc.
You're absolutely right, you can use a local pg. This just makes it easier for me, as it's sort of a "sandbox" environment and I can easily take snapshots to do A/B testing or roll things back. I can also send a snapshot to a coworker so they can get my entire environment with all my data in a few seconds.
Did they poison alcohol that they knew were destined for human consumption (eg. they found some moonshiner's shack, broke in, poisoned the alcohol, and then left)? Or did they poison industrial alcohols not meant for human consumption? I can see how the former would be murder, but not the latter.

I agree that most of the comments here amount to handwringing (or not understanding what amount of "privacy" is legal), but also, what KYC is really necessary for a company like this? If I understand correctly, all they do is pass through transactions. They don't hold customer deposits or provide credit. Isn't all this third party verification a little much?

Advertising is corrupt, but much of business (and public perception) is corrupt in a much similar way. What you are seeing is a lack of integrity shared by business leaders who don't ask for rigor when their minions report higher rates of "engagement". There's too much of an incentive for the people in charge to be satisfied with someone telling them that something is "up", and too much incentive for those coming up with the numbers to not perform due diligence. I've seen this multiple times firsthand.

We’re looking for motivated and bright systems software engineers who want to get their hands dirty building the foundations of a novel high performance low-latency relational database system with a rich declarative semantic model, a pleasant API and quality tooling.

Our initial use case starts with multiplayer games, but we’re interested in building out a generally awesome service for any shared-state highly scaled application.

If any of the following things interest and excite you:

- Database storage techniques, algorithms and datastructures.

- Query execution, query planning and optimization

- Shared, sandboxed virtual machine hosting; WebAssembly, language interpreters, etc.

- Distributed systems & high availability

- And the implementation, debugging, and optimization of high performance, highly concurrent distributed applications generally.

... then we would love to hear from you. We have some fun and impactful work for you.

Our system is built in Rust, but we’d love to hear from anybody with experience and focus on these topics. Rust experience is great, but strong C++ developers etc. are great as well.

As a man, online dating is already a miserable experience. But I've been told Hinge is one of the better apps out there. One of the first things I've noticed about using it is how exploitative and money grubbing the company is. The premium version doesn't seem to appreciably change anything about how often your profile shows up. No, to do that they want you to pay for a "Boost" which lasts for a mere hour, and costs $11.99. You can buy 5 and get a measly discount where they only cost $9.99 apiece. If you are already someone who does not get frequent matches, this is a terrible deal and the duration is insultingly low.

Never mind the practice of "Roses" in which the only way to message some women is to buy a like that costs $3.33 each. Again, in bulk you can get that down to $1.49 apiece. But what is so scummy about it is that they seem to have an algorithm that detects the most beautiful of women and locks messaging them behind the need to send roses.

Not to go on too much of a rant, but I really loathe how this company approaches it's customer base. This article showed me that they aren't just horrible to men.

No it isn’t. Ok sure, there are only so many bitcoins that can be mined. But - there’s 50k alt currencies that have fallen out of the sky, most also with scarcity. Why are they worthless while bitcoin holds value?. In fact the scarcity in cryptocurrency isn’t the tokens at all rather the collective expendable income of gullible users. They’re for the most part running a net loss, and even those ahead on paper need to go through a regulated exchange for a payout with all the questions that come with that giant pile of money.

Trees make themselves out of the CO2. A growing tree absorbs CO2, an already grown tree is effectively neutral, and a dead tree releases the carbon when fungus decompose it.

If you cut down a tree and turn it into a house that lasts for 200 years, then you've sequestered that carbon for longer than the tree likely would have.
