I think what they’re really saying is that maybe not every person who wants to live in SF, for example, can. There’s some upper limit on how many people can live there and if more people want to live there than can prices will go up.

So maybe not everyone who wants to live there gets to.
I agree. That’s why I’ll probably be leaving it disabled, just as I did with the hand tracking (besides some quick tests for fun).

It’s not being forced, and Fallback will probably be graceful.
Fair put, I’ll sleep on it.

Also, hopefully you won’t consider this kissing your boots, but I genuinely appreciate what must be the tremendous amount of effort you put into this site. I have gained so much from this site, and the ruthless commitment to quality submissions is a big part of it.
I guess it depends what exactly you mean by "reactive paradigm".

In my experience the commonality found between client side mobile applications and reactive principles is essentially everything is a stream, and the UI subscribes to those streams.

The approach outlined in the post is similar in terms of the UI observes a (single) stream of data, which can just be a simple (State) -> Unit) as opposed to some reactive library stream primitive.

The approach outlines is different from all the "reactive" client side applications I have seen as there is no proliferation of stream primitives present throughout the codebase, which often seems to create complex code with very little if any user benefit.

I'm not sure what other elements you see in the post which also fall into the "reactive paradigm"?

When I was growing up, I was told that women were by and large too dumb to do any real science by teenage boys and girls.

I found great solace in Joan Feynman's story,

> “Women can’t do science, because their brains aren’t made for it,” Lucille Feynman declared to her eight-year-old daughter Joan. The news was a huge blow to the little girl’s ambitions which, at the time in 1935, were firmly set on following her brother Richard into a life scientific. “I remember sitting in a chair and weeping,” she recalls.

> whilst the doubts about a woman’s abilities to undertake a career in science, planted in her by Lucille, remained, Joan’s interest in science continued to be fuelled by Richard’s progress through university. Before he’d left home, her brother had made a deal with her that whilst away at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), studying for his bachelor’s degree, he would answer any science question that she sent him.

> “So I did,” says Joan, “and I got a little further each time. And then one day there was a figure in the book of a spectrum and underneath it said ‘the relative strengths of the Mg+ absorption line at 4,481 angstroms… of Stellar Atmospheres from the work of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin’.” The caption was a revelation to Joan. Cecilia was a woman’s name, and the hyphenated family name indicated she was married. It was proof that a married woman was capable of doing science.

Representation matters. That one hyphenated name, proof that someone like her could contribute, gave us an exploration of auroras and solar wind. It enriched our world immensely.

If some other little girl, even one, can find solace in one of these wikipedia articles, then it's worth it.

It absolutely was media hysteria. Add "stupid and cowardly politicians" if you like. I'd be okay with that.

It's not entirely a blunder but OP should consider the MVP as almost a straw man. Don't be precious about how you've designed it and don't be shocked when customers say this is not at all what they need. Having a prototype could still be invaluable for eliciting feedback.

I clicked through 5 of them. All were professors with no substantial achievement mentioned. Are we going to make a Wikipedia page for all university professors on Earth?

This is a comment from this thread itself:

"I think it's covered in the Dark Basin episode of Darknet Diaries, but India apparently has a reputation for especially aggressive private investigators, who were historically used to dig up dirt on families before committing to marriage pacts, but in the modern era are used regularly for PR and corporate blackmail. Apparently this practice is ingrained enough into the culture that digging up dirt on people by any means necessary is widely accepted, and not even illegal in most contexts."

Please tell me more about how India can ever be used purely as a location.

If there is a set of organizations that would consider using this tool that could be the justification for releasing it. It's a tool to reverse engineer binaries so it's likely to also reverse engineer whoever is foolish enough to run it in a production environment against an adversary thus putting the NSA in the driver's seat.
yes, its farfetched so definitely hold it with scrutiny. the science is still new.

I think what we should pay attention to is how electricity can affect our cell
growth and regeneration.

see this https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/05/170523124219.h...

"Recently scientists have been able to control and influence cell-differentiation via long-lifetime electric fields. (Although the electric potential was created chemically via ion pumps rather than externally)....
this kind of electrical signaling is likely the primary mechanism by which your cells know what to become and in which direction to grow" via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31238490

I'm bringing up the science of bioelectricity to point to that fact that our cells (and the cells of all our much more delicate microbiome neighbours in our stomachs) are affected by the electricity in our body. Could it at all be possible that when exposed to changes in electrical environment a biological electrical system can vary its the cell-level chemical reactions inside it, affecting cellular repair and growth? These studies all say yes. ___They made a worm grow two heads for crying out loud!!!____

Now after making a worm grow two heads from messing with bioelectrical stuff, is it that far of a leap to wonder if grounding your bioelectrical system would have some tiny effect on its cellular chemical state? your body is dying every second and regenerating cells in a complex chemical reaction.
My experience, so far, has just been in Python developing with FastAPI. Next, I would like to learn a statically typed language, but I am not sure what. I was wondering about Go and C# of course.

What worse before Ghidra was released it was actually damn hard to even buy IDA license and I not even sure if situation changed at all. I cant even imagine that someone can "secretly" buy an IDA license and it obvious thing that NSA would want to do.

I guess people who come up with conspiracy theories simply don't know that all around the world there might be like 10,000 good reverse engineering experts. Might be even less of them. It's very small talent pool and it does make sense for NSA to do everything to make hiring easier.
> 90% of nameplate capacity doesn't mean much at all if you can't afford to finish building the thing.

Tell you what: get back to me when someone actually builds one of your fantasy solar power plants at a competitive cost (which will involve multiplying the nameplate capacity by 9).

But we need to keep civilization running until then. Sorry.
Density is better for the environment as others mentioned. It is the opposite of enforced, currently mostly prevented.

Answering your question with another question. Why stop there? What you are ultimately arguing for is population-growth control. Turns out very few people are interested in the government deciding how many children they can have.

> is it ever acceptable to round-trip to the server to re-render a component that could have been updated fully-client side ?

htmx doesn't aim to replace _all_ interactions with a roundtrip; in fact the author is developing hyperscript (https://hyperscript.org/) for all the little things happening purely client side.

But in any case even an SPA does round trips to get data stored on the server. The question becomes: is it better to make a backend spout json and then translate it, or make the backend spout HTML directly usable ?
No misunderstanding on my part, no worries.

And apologies for the misunderstanding due to my terseness, which is partly due to me having written about this in great depth on a number of occasions, here are two examples:

- Why Architecture-Oriented Programming Matters[1]

- Can Programmers Escape the Gentle Tyranny of call/return?[2]

The basic point is that we are so used to programming simply being call/return (and functional is a subset of that), that it is very hard for us to conceive of programming being anything else.

And one consequence of that is that we try to map every problem onto a call/return (incl. FP) solution, no matter how inappropriate the mapping, and the mapping very often is inappropriate, leading to architectural mismatch. [3][4]

We do this partly because we really don't know better, but also partly because there are tangible benefits, primarily that once we have done that mapping, we can then express whatever we arrived at pretty directly in our languages, because our languages effectively only allow call/return based abstraction.

It's a bit of a conundrum.

Pegasus was detected by sending sample devices to Citizen Lab[0]. Currently there is no known evidence of an NSA 'backdoor' in iPhones, and if there is, it's very well hidden. And it's not like we can't inspect traffic going in and out of iPhones. If you are concerned about data being sent to Fort Meade, MITM all the traffic and then blow the whistle to alert others.

Using Compiler Explorer to see how different compilers interpret the same code, or understanding the generated ABI, or if various pragmas are or are not working, etc., is a very good use of it--I suspect most compiler developers at this point more or less have a tab of Compiler Explorer permanently open at this point.

> I have a colleague who has really no idea what he's talking about with respect to machine performance, and who did not have the requisite knowledge of how to peep at the assembly code of a given function with the standard tools like objdump, who now loves to send everyone godbolt links in slack, along with his suppositions about which function will be faster, based entirely on vibes (mostly, instruction count).

This, however, just no.
This is a mischaracterization. The issue was lack of volunteer effort writing an adequate article, not failure of the subject to meet Wikipedia’s notability guideline.

See the FAQ at the top of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Donna_Strickland

> Was this article previously deleted because Wikipedia editors thought that Strickland was not notable?

> No. One previous attempt to create this article, in 2014, was deleted because it was copyright infringement. In March 2018, an editor declined to publish a draft article on Strickland, but this draft was not deleted; it remained in existence until it was superseded by the current version of the article, created in October 2018. The reviewer's pro forma reason for declining included a link to our notability guidelines for biographies, but in a subsequent discussion most editors agreed that Strickland was notable before she won the Nobel Prize. The reviewer clarified that they agreed that Strickland was notable, but had declined to publish the draft because at the time it did not include any references to independent, reliable sources.
Mass surveillance has been on for more than a decade. You can assume that all non encrypted communication is logged. Snowden's leak showed that NSA was tapping internal Google fiber at the transcontinental connection points. Google immediately switched to encrypted communication within Google's data center.

I must be the only person who seems to think Apple's DSP stuff falls into massive uncanny valley (it makes the music feel lifeless and flat and boring). Never mind I don't understand what the point of hearing music from some other point in the digitally manufactured "room" is, it's certainly not what the artist intended.
Awesome tool. I do mostly c++ all day and I use this almost daily, and certainly weekly. I think it’s really improved my feel for what the compiler will do with different constructs.
First of all, this is in a luxury car so highly unlikely that the majority of owners don’t have a decent home.

Secondly, people commute. A lot. They also like music. Good sound systems have been very important for people for decades now as a result.
I’m sorry, but no technology has started in its final state. Metas communication has been very very clear that we’re in the infancy of it all. See the latest keynote for multiple examples.
A release Windows Update (not preview or Insider or whatever) a while back deleted my My Documents folder thanks to quality <unwanted Microsoft product> code. As far as I can tell, no improvements in quality culture or testing have occurred since that time, just a bit of a "mea culpa" over the small detail that Insider testers had been complaining and filing reports about "Windows Update deleted My Documents" and nobody looked at the reports.

Another reason to make sure you have automated backups, I guess.
> I tried that by turning off my router.

It's actually a different issue. If the servers are completely down, or inaccessible (blocked or you're actually offline) it uses the offline license check and works fine.

If you're online and the servers are online but having issues, like returning a status 504, your local license gets revoked. Even if you chose offline activation during installation it still tries the online activation method every few minutes. If there is a server response but it's not status=200 Bitwig considers it a failed license check. Offline activation checks will then no longer work until their servers give you a good response.
SF tax revenues increased greatly (double, IIRC) over the past decade.

Hey, I can't say I have ever worked on such a project, it sounds like an interesting problem space.

I am assuming when a user interacts with one control button / dial / interaction it has a cascade effect on other controls / displays etc?

I am also assuming you already need to have a data structure representing the complete state of the system no?

There are multiple interesting aspects here, like are you / do you need to utilise complex state machines here? Just the subject of imperative vs functional state-machines is interesting and a small part of the wider approach.

Another interesting area is it depends on the language and execution environment you are operating in and how expensive operations over immutable data structures are.

Lots of questions!

NSA is both red team and blue team. This is a blue team tool used by reverse engineers to analyze malware, so it was NSA's little gift to researchers, an agency known for hoarding secrets for our 'security'.
It's bizarre and the article is vague about it, but if I had to speculate:

Tech-first companies always have more software work that can be done; if not, they come up with new work to expand the business (features, scaling, etc)

But maybe this could happen at companies where software just supports the primary business? If the software isn't the product, and it's currently doing everything it needs to do for the business, I could imagine a scenario where IT people might become idle
Good question, so I Googled some answers:

How common are RAM bit flips?

Research has shown that a computer with 4GB of memory has a 96% chance of having a random “bit flip” every three days. That's a crazy high chance of data corruption occurring on your computer.18 Mar 2021

https://www.macobserver.com/columns-opinions/devils-advocate...

How often do ECC errors occur?

These can all not be corrected, but are extremely rare. A 1 Gigabit ECC DRAM contains 16 Million blocks of 64 bit datawords. Per each of these 64 bit words, one error is correctable. In other words: Statistically one out of 16 million hits might be a double-bit error.
