It's unfair, but I'm of the opinion US healthcare is much better if you have the means to pay for it.

Look at all the top surgeons and hospitals in the world for everything from neurosurgery to cancer treatment. They're all in the United States. The median level of care might be much better in Europe but they are behind when it comes to cutting edge treatments, rare diseases, and so on.

How does that help? For me the lesson of the Snowden affair has been that it does not matter whether we know what the government is up to, because they will do what they want to us regardless; there is nothing we can do about it.
That logic only works if Europe was the only trading partner available to Russia. What happened in practice is that Russia simply redirected trade to other countries while Europe now pays a huge markup buying from resellers.
India wouldn't accept that. They don't have any leverage, they played their hand.
MailChannels CEO here. Would you pay something to get access to webhooks for delivery notifications and click-tracking? We have it; it's just not exposed.
You feel this way but if you do the math and benchmarks you will be surprised.

You might not be running GHC's RTS on a resource-constrained target platform but you can generate the C code that could run on that platform from Haskell, leveraging the guarantees you get with using Haskell's advanced type system.

Update: point is that GHC can optimize code and some of those optimizations can avoid pointer chasing! But like most optimizing compilers, some times GHC can miss them, and you have to do a bit of work to tell GHC where it can avoid chasing unnecessary pointers (or where it should/should-not inline, give it some help to know where it can do fusion, etc).
Akin to JS replacing callbacks with async/await:

1. You can use both styles, even interchangeably.

2. The latter is superior.

Async/await allows you to write asynchronous code in a synchronous style.

Hooks allow you to write stateful code in a stateless style.

Agreed 100%. Most of the comments here conflate the work of designers with stuff they are _compelled_ to do by marketing, PMs looking to pad their KPIs, “growth” departments (is that term even around anymore), or in many startups cases, bad CEO/head of product decisions. I have been in the design industry as a working professional for over a decade and have never, ever met a designer who willingly implemented a dark pattern.

I have, however:

-Had a VP who insisted I styled the unsubscribe link to our paid subscriptions 10px font and deliberately violate WCAG contrast guidelines (not that he could be bothered to learn or listen on what that means, he just wanted it invisible)

-Had a founder ask me to deliberately bury an app settings button in the primary menu three layers deep to (aspire to) throw folks off the trail of account deletion

And I could go on like this.
Now agency is an end unto itself I wholeheartedly agree.

I feel though, that any worry about the agency of supercapable computer systems is premature until we see even the tiniest— and I mean really anything at all— sign of their agency. Heck, even agency _in theory_ would suffice, and yet: nada.

I had a ride from YVR airport where no less than 30 drivers[0] cancelled on me. I would get the notification that the driver was on their way, tap it, and then catch a brief one second flash of the driver before they disappeared and I was back in the queue.

Pooh might be out of copyright, but the corporate media has found a way around that by using trade marks.

So anything related to Children's books (or any books, drawing books, comics, anything) cannot come with "Winnie Pooh", "Winnie the Pooh" or similar, cannot have a golden-brown bear, not a pinky Piglett or a stripy Tigger.

Humans have always been adapting existing "IP" to their own uses. Just look at the many ways that Odysseus has been adapted - It's like a cinematic universe of old. Humans have always been remixing and reshuffling things.

Yes, it is "JVM reimagined". It has very little with browsers, though.

IMO this is wrong direction.

Better direction is to move into browser. Add arch/wasm to linux kernel. Compile it to wasm. Compile systemd to wasm, glibc or musl, with docker in the end. Now you can run linux in your browser. You could run it before, but this way makes it as native to browser as possible. Probably will be very fast and suitable for work.

Now with docker ask people to compile their software to wasm. Now you can run postgres and kubernetes in your Chrome tab. All you need is some escape hatch for network ingress/egress which is not hard to implement.

May be implement virtio-gpu with webgpu and you can easily run full-fledged Gnome in your browser tab. Not hard to sync your disk to S3, so you can open this VM from any computer and run it locally.

Basically VM in your browser, cross-platform, cross-architectured.
You shouldn't, but it happens. The UI makes it much easier to open a new tab than to close older tabs (unless you close all of them at once). You even inadvertently open new tabs when you click on links and they open on a new tab rather than on the current tab. Unless you consciously choose browse in a way that avoids the proliferation of new tabs, you'll get flooded by them, as that's what the design leads to. Exceptions are browsers that don't save tabs between sessions, or that automatically close tabs after a specific number.
Is this comparable to the Nodejs ioJs split early in the history of node?

Objectively speaking, entering the first character in a select should bring you to the first option with that letter. For example, a select of States or Countries. Yet, that's too often not the case anymore. That is, you have to scroll over the list.

This is the part of Starlink that gets very little fanfare but is one of the more impressive parts of the system. Early skeptics pointed out that not only had no satellite company ever launched anywhere close to that many satellites, but that ground stations tended to be extremely expensive to maintain (tens of millions of dollars per year per station) and were few in number, but Starlink was proposing to build thousands of them. A lot of the old guard thought that if the satellite launch costs didn't kill them the ground station maintenance would. But Starlink proved that it was mostly an "old space" problem and there was no fundamental reason the ground stations had to be so outrageously expensive.
> Ukraine was preparing a war to take back donbas

It's sad that there's absolutely zero evidence of that except for Kremlin's justification for its own invasion. Isn't this excuse as old as war? "we had to invade, otherwise they would invade us".

> This was just before russia entered the war.

Well, exactly. Russia was looking for casus beli. There were reports of increased separatist shelling, they likely wanted to provoke Ukraine into moving first, very similar playbook to 2008 Georgian war.
I get the sense it’s not really possible to win an argument on public social media. Even if the other person has no rebuttal, they’ll at best slink away and someone else will just take their place. Ad infinitum.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about what's going on with price caps and what "independence" means, so here's an explanation:

The price cap on Russian gas effectively sets a maximum price that those enforcing the cap will pay. This means that Russia can't sell at full price because even those not enforcing the cap aren't willing to pay full price for it (why should they, when Russia's choices of customers are severely limited?). It's an artificially induced market pressure to keep prices down.

Does it stop Russian gas from flowing? No, but that's not the point; the point is to reduce Russia's profits from the gas. The world still gets all their gas, but Russia gets far less money for it.

Does it mean that Russian gas doesn't make it to Europe anymore? Nope. In fact, "Russian" gas probably makes up a big chunk of imports to price cap countries. But since Russia can't charge full price for its gas, the profits go to the middlemen, who raise prices to the actual market rate and pocket the difference while shipping to whoever (including price cap countries, because once it's owned by the middleman it's no longer "Russian" gas, but regular market rate gas).

So what is this "independence from Russian gas" all about then? It's about not being directly dependent upon Russia for providing the gas (i.e. Russia can't threaten to turn off the taps if Europe doesn't toe the line). The only thing Russia could do now is stop supplying gas to everyone, which would be even worse than the reduced profits they're suffering already.
Please read Life 3.0 or superintelligence. There are people that spent decades thinking about how this would happen. You spent a little bit of time and conclude it can't.
> allowed you to virtualize on another Mac running macOS

^W^W and you'd be right. The only runtime requirement is Apple hardware.

The initial wording was something along the lines as "on Apple-branded hardware", creating (if you were a bit zany) the loophole of stamping an Apple sticker on any hardware and declare it Apple-branded. That was the joke in some Hackintosh circles circa Snow Leopard.
I found that I spent more time on Reddit and Twitter than I wanted to. Scrolling on those apps was becoming a coping mechanism for avoiding unpleasant tasks. So I decided that I could only use those apps on a certain day of the week. On that day, I am free to go crazy and scroll all I want but outside of those days, I don't allow myself to open them at all. The first 2 weeks were pretty hard but once I got over the hump, I've gotten used to the new normal. There are still some days where I struggle not to fall off the wagon.

This experience has taught me that you can reset your brain to whatever normal you want. It's hard but doable. I'm not someone that has a ton of willpower but have managed to keep to this for the last couple of months.
I have been in a company that marginally that was in the same situation as Lyft, financially speaking, and for me sounds brave and bonkers that those folks still have time to blog post in a very stock-nose-diving situation.
Also firefox auto closes the old tabs for you if haven't touch them for maybe a month. You dont really need to actively close them
Interesting, they're trying to base their credibility on Docker because they had a falling out with the official WASM community.

They also quote an old tweet from the founder of Docker, and I can't see any new tweets about Wasmer from him: https://twitter.com/search?q=wasmer%20solomonstre&src=typed_... He tweeted about a competitor to WAPM, a Wasmer product: https://twitter.com/solomonstre/status/1584817684172005376 It seems likely that shykes moved along from Wasmer along with many others. If there were a time for him to indicate he's still emotionally invested in Wasmer, this would be it!
> Initial block download isn’t the bottleneck for scalability though.

It is for full nodes (fully verifying nodes).
They don't trust the UTXO set to be correct just because miners keep building on it.

Huge chain size is exactly the reason why there are so few Ethereum full nodes (which takes weeks to sync), which makes it less decentralized.

It was one of my more memorable ones. It had ~50 exercises that I recall, and the core of the program was supposed to compute a word frequency list on the words in the novel (with a blacklist of words like common adjectives etc). The twist was you had to do it with a particular programming paradigm in mind each time - functional, object oriented, MVC, REST API, anything you could think of. It was very eye opening solving the exact same problem in so many different ways.

This seems pretty inherently difficult to port or to run safely. Things like fuetxes will only work directly on Linux and OpenBSD, for example. From what I recall, OSX has some undocumented futex-like-but-not-quite ulock, and FreeBSD has yet another incompatible tool.

Fork is not a windows-native primitive, and while cygwin may have implemented emulation, the performance sucks. Pthreads is in a similar situation.

So, given that this will mainly target linux well, I'm not sure what advantages it brings over native code. It mostly feels like native code with extra steps.
I don't believe this is true on iOS, unless there was a recent change I'm not aware of.

Right now, tapping power five times on my phone running iOS 16.1.1 opens an "emergency" mode, which allows anyone to call 911 or see my "Medical ID". It also has an option to "cancel" this mode, which returns the phone to a normal locked state but forces a passcode to unlock (i.e. Face ID will not unlock the phone in this state).
> Compiling native application to operating systems that Wasmer is compiled for including the browser and have the code seamlessly work in all of them.

And thanks to stuff like this, contemporary browsers are now so complicated that
they only run on the top handful of platforms. So how is it progress?
I bet JVM runs more places than modern browsers.

> VM forces you to write in Java or a JVM targeted language but WASM lets you compile any language that creates a WASM backend.

WASM forces you to write in something that has a WASM backend just like JVM forces you to write in something that
has a JVM backend. It's just the same all over again. And again.

SOP for large companies. They can kill you just by sitting on you.
Consider two different scenarios:

1) Throughout history many people have predicted the world would soon end, and the world did not in fact end.

2) Throughout history no one predicted the world would soon end, and the world did not in fact end.

The fact that the real world is aligned with scenario 1 is more an indication that there exists a pervasive human cognitive bias to think that the world is going to end, which occasionally manifests itself in the right circumstances (apocalypticism).
At the end of the day, users just want to remember the sites they have visited without actively bookmarking and categorizing them because it’s too tedious. So why not just have a database of visited sites, grouped by most visited or by day. Yes, there’s the history of visited sites, but I don’t know many users who use this, so this could be redesigned to be more dynamic, more prominent (keep x tabs open, sorted by most visited or most recent), more intuitive and accessible.
The way to get that corrected is to ask the local police to ticket illegal turns at that intersection for a day, indicating that Google refuses to correct the issue and is directing hundreds of violations a day at the intersection. Google ignores unenforced road signs that are frequently ignored by their data providers (drivers), so enforcement complaints from drivers are necessary to force the correction.
The fact that OP can see "finding another driver" 8 times suggests that perhaps there is some prioritization system, and OP was low priority - such that if any other request came in before him, then the driver would be re-routed.
It's a similar kind of thing to decimal time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time
> Yes, because they shelled the minority who wanted independence since 2014.

Funny way to spell “fought separatist forces supported by Russia”.
New window? I suppose you didn't even read the headline. This is for Firefox mobile. It works this way in Android for me at least. As soon as you close tab 100 you get back the numbers.
I perceive FORTH in a different way. The only sigil in FORTH is SPACE. Everything else is a letter.

Then you have Bjarne Stroustrup's "Generalized Overloading for C++2000", with which you can overload whitespace, uniquely redefining the meaning of space, newline, tab, and even the absence of space.

If the government wanted to set off some fireworks they could tax homeowners with <4% mortgages such that it makes their "effective mortgage" somewhere around 4% (2019 rates).

This would effectively undue the "gift" of the magical 2% mortgage and crush those who chased the low rates during 2021.

If they really wanted to rub salt in the wound, they could use the proceeds to fund a home builder subsidy program, giving home builders access to special low interest loans.

And if they went full masochist, they could use eminent domain to seize vacant commercial proprieties and build high density housing on it, regardless of local zoning.

All this would never happen though. So rest easy homeowner. Just a mental exercise in how the government could use the tools it has to unstick the housing market.
I'm not sure I agree with this. It's "different" in that you don't need to learn the intricacies of some new data loading and state management library (we've seen _so many_ of these over the years!). But the concepts themselves are much closer to "just plain React".

I never used Twitter much but when Musk acquired it I deleted my account.

I'm also not asking about what our brains are conditioned to feel.

is the constant acceleration of orbit fundamentally different than no acceleration...?

No.

how else would you change directions?

You don't. You keep going straight, space is deformed by gravity.

But even if you look at it like in classical mechanics, the effect is applied uniformly to every particle of your body, so it makes no difference.

Ask yourself this: how do you feel gravity right now?
Your one trivial use case isn't all use cases, and it sure isn't my important one. If you're doing more than backing up your personal workstation, metadata is extremely important. If I ever have to restore something, even just data, out of the multi-petabytes we have on tape, I better not have to manually go through it to figure out who should actually have access to it before I make it available to the people who need it.
It would be nice not to shoot the messenger. The problem described by maksumur is a real problem people encounter often - torrents for less popular large files that people only occasionally want, but do want or need, have a habit of disappearing, or being non-functional when you do find a seed. Popularity plays too strong a role.

As far as I know the proof-of-data-availability folks (whether using a blockchain or not) are the only folks trying to solve this problem with a serious technical solution at a cost scale lower than "rent your own server and have deep pockets for bandwidth" at the moment.

It's not about "willing to spend money", as if there is only one threshold to pass.

Torrents are used largely because they diffuse the cost of hosting, so that people (and organisations) don't need deep pockets to distribute large files to many others. There is an inevitable infrastructure cost but it's spread out more fairly among users.

The proof-of-data-availability stuff is similar, but takes it further so that a wider range of data stays publically available to whoever wants to download it, whenever they want, than it otherwise would be. It is really just a more fancy version of torrenting that is less prone to the excessive per-file popularity fluctuations that torrents suffer from. The objective is to lower costs compared with the current state of the internet, not add more. And it does not specifically require a blockchain.

If you know of something else tackling the problem I'd be love to hear about it. Torrent seed sites don't qualify, as they don't solve the problem: Most files aren't available on them either, and you have to pay for the more obscure content they do have.
