Pretty interesting once you read past the marketing push.

I mostly like the approach, but there are a lot of questions/issues that spring to mind (not that some of them don't already have answers, but I didn't read everything). I'll list some of them:

* I'm pretty sure restrictive schemas are a feature not a bug, but I suppose you can add your own in your ETL "microbatch streaming" implementation (if I'm reading this right, this is where you transform the events/data that have been recorded to the indexed form your app wants to query). So you could, e.g., filter out any data with invalid schema, and/or record and error about the invalid data, etc. A pain, though, for it to be a separate thing to implement.

* I'm not that excited to have my data source and objects/entities be Java.

* The Rama business model and sustainability story seem like big question marks that would have to have strong, long-lasting answers/guarantees before anyone should invest too much in this. This is pretty different and sits at a fundamental level of abstraction. If you built on this for years (or decades) and then something happened you could be in serious trouble.

* Hosting/deployment/resources-needed is unclear (to me, anyway)

* Quibble on "Data models are restrictive": common databases are pretty flexible these days, supporting different models well.

* I'm thinking a lot of apps won't get too much value from keeping their events around forever, so that becomes a kind of anchor around the neck, a cost that apps using Rama have to pay whether they really want it or not. I have questions about how that scales over time. E.g., say my has depot has 20B events and I want to add an index to a p-state or a new value to an enum... do I need to ETL 20 billion events to do routine changes/additions? And obviously schema changes get a lot more complicated than that. I get that you could have granular pstates but then I start worrying about the distributed nature of this. I guess you would generally do migrations by creating new pstates with the new structure, take as much time as you need to populate them, then cut over as gradually as you need, and then retire the old pstates on whatever timeline you want.... But that's a lot of work you want to avoid doing routinely, I'd think.

I'm starting to think of more things, but I better stop (my build finished long ago!)
What software/router do you have, that shows this upload/download graph?
> A lot of stuff is like "connect to your Antelope or Meringue instances with the usability of Nincompoop and the performance of ARSE2".

I've been recently getting into DevOps stuff, and this is exactly what that sounds like to me. Same thing whenever I look at any new web framework:

Okay, cool, so your product brings the power of "WazzupJS" to "the edge"... But it also has "teleports" like "Blimper" but without all of the downsides of "Vormhole Blues"?

I'm sure that's really useful, but I kinda wish I knew what the product actually does
I use home assistant, with the same logic as the other poster mentioned. Home assistant allows you to create automations based on events.
Part of Wasm's capability security model is that JS objects are opaque to Wasm and Wasm objects are opaque to JS. This is a good thing and it doesn't prevent interop.

Everyone asks about DOM nodes, so let's use that as an example. In Wasm, you could import a function known locally as $documentGetElementById. The host (JS) could then instantiate the module and provide Document.prototype.getElementById.bind(document) as the implementation of that import. $documentGetElementById's return type would be (ref extern), an opaque reference to a heap object from the host that can now be freely passed around the Wasm module or back to the host. You could then import any other DOM functions that you need to inspect/manipulate these objects.

On the flip side, if you have a Wasm object reference in JS, you need to call some exported Wasm function(s) to inspect/manipulate it.

If you're just continuing the discussion and talking about whether or not the policy is a good move on YouTube's part, fair enough. But it kind of reads like you're shifting the goal post.

My opinion is that I'm honestly not sure if it "matters" or not. YouTube has every right to make their content policies according to whatever drives them, be it business forces or their own values. As an adult consumer of YouTube I would personally prefer if there were a "as long as it is legal" policy, but I get why YouTube may have reasons to adopt different policies and it's not up to me. I recognize their right to do what they think is best with their business and product.
Yep. All the gun nuts with delusions of even the threat of a future armed rebellion are absolutely kidding themselves. You don't need an army or tanks or jets or helicopters to lay waste to an armed militia. You just need some bored kids with a few hours of flight sim training and enough drones to make it happen.

Probably the most exciting thing about this is that it shows the hard work of labs to discover the tacit knowledge necessary to produce single layer graphene is bearing fruit. Developing the real world industrial processes for putting theory into practice is always the hardest part of creating new technology especially when doing so on atomic scales. It seems slow and underwhelming compared to whizbang announcements about wonder materials but this is the type of gradual progress that the future is based on.

It doesn't have network connectivity. And most of the time, it doesn't have additional circuitry which would cost the manufacturer money. Instead it's just a software gimmick to show status via app using something like qr of washing machine status. It's purpose is to save status light which were part of older models and it costed them money. It is just more smart marketed version which is dumb product overall.
> But why does domestic manufacturing imply state subsidy?

It doesn't always, but let's be honest, most attempts to do so mean massive subsidies for manufacturers to set up in the US.

Arguably yes (although not the only e.g. British, Danish, and Greek ships are assisting in the Red Sea right now).

Likewise. The presentation manager was much more advanced than Windows, and aside the infamous single queue "bug", a lot more stable.
I never wrote software for OS/2, aside some playing with the C compiler whose name I can't recall now, but I used OS/2 as a better multitasker for DOS instances. At that time I was writing a database software in Clipper that I adapted to work for two shops (books and furniture) and needed to have in both places two DOS machines communicating over NETBIOS, where both would work as sales terminals but only one of them would keep the db, indexes etc. The customers had two machines, and also did I, but I wanted to speed things up so I tried to open multiple DOS windows on a single machine and let them share the same directory emulating the NETBIOS shares environment, so that I could for example compile both client and server on the same machine off the same code base to keep code changes consistent in case I was for example changing common structures etc. Turns out that OS/2, after enabling something to allow data sharing between DOS instances (can't recall which option or setting), not only worked but was a lot more stable than Windows 95 at that; for some reasons Win95 appeared to work for a while, only to crash in multiple ways shortly after, while OS/2 never had a hitch, so after realizing that Windows wasn't an option I ditched it for good using only OS/2. Good times.

I disagree -- the original AdWords felt like it was intended to be different. It was visually subtle, ads were clearly marked as ads, and the way it worked was completely transparent.

When people say "can't yet interface directly with the DOM," the "directly" is the key bit. Projects in webassembly have been able to interact with the DOM forever, but they need to do it via JavaScript shims. I am not intimately familiar with Spritely, but from reading the post briefly, it appears this is exactly what they're doing:

Scheme.load_main("hello.wasm", {}, {
document: {
body() { return document.body; },
createTextNode: Document.prototype.createTextNode.bind(document)

This requires boilerplate and adds overhead that would not exist if it were able to be done "directly."
You can buy cpus without the management engine enabled. You can burn whatever bios you want (though I recommend a compatible one), and you can install whatever drivers you want with whatever binary blob firmware you want. The OS loads that firmware at boot, so you do have full control (unless you are on a Mac).

I’m running a custom bios on my laptop that lets me tune whatever I want. It’s literally just code, like anything else.
I think an ETF is inevitable do you not?
We are getting close to the kind of warfare described in Neuromacer (i.e. Corto's mission over Kirensk).
There's not much "cracking" involved. The sender's (hashed) email address and phone number are just part of the protocol. This has been publicly documented by Apple for several years now:

Given the low entropy of phone numbers, building a dictionary of all possible phone number hashes (and all known email hashes, or just every possible alphanumeric combination under a certain length) is trivial.

This is so wild. Assuming it was financially motivated, wouldn't the involved party stand to benefit more by shorting and posting that the ETF was denied?
Have you considered MIP displays?(1) Memory-in-pixel displays are commonly used on watches, wearables and they can display up to 64 colors in theory. They have high-contrast even in bright ambient conditions.

Example of a color MIP display is the Garmin handhelds: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/553168

The largest one I can find in production is only 4 inches,(2) but a tablet-sized one could be great as a display. They don't use much power (just like e-ink) as a MIP watch can last 11+ months without a charge.

SECGov X account compromised: we have not approved spot BTC ETFs
It's simply that platforms are more convenient. Most bloggers never got a comment that wasn't spam, but platforms make it easier to find an audience. Platforms (if they're big enough) make it easier to find content relevant to your interests than webrings or link aggregators ever did. Most people don't want to learn how to hand-code HTML and run a server just to express themselves or communicate on the web. Curation is also a plus, but framing that as "wanting censorship" is disingenuous. What people want is stability and predictability.

It also doesn't really lead to a blandification of content. The quality of content on the web now is higher than its ever been. The value gained by being able to publish nearly effortlessly to the web without being a tech nerd is outweighed by the value lost in not being able to put a skull playing a trumpet in a site header.
Measuring Concurrency Using Heartbeat Events
This one simple information-theoretic principle is an effective guide for user interface design:

Things that are the same should look the same, and things that are different should look different.

Your UI conveys information to the user, and the user has finite cognitive capacity for receiving and interpreting that information. So keep the the signal-to-noise ratio high!

In my experience, a large portion of the user experience problems in real products are consequences of violating this principle. Construed broadly, this principle implies many design guidelines, e.g.:

- If the user changes something, make the change immediately visible

- If internal state affects what the user can do, make it visible

- Don't use nonstandard interface widgets or icons

If you can get this right, you're a lot of the way there.
In the US, the "defense industry" is just anything military-ish related. Or not even military related, but funded by e.g. NRL/AFRL research grants. It stems from the renaming of the Department of War to the Department of Defense after WWII.

My family is set to fly with Alaska Airlines in a Boeing 737-9 MAX (ETOPS) this April. I'm just wondering about options and what others would do in this scenario.

Also, does anyone know if Alaska Airlines might let us change our non-refundable tickets (for an April flight) if we're worried about safety?

US Moon mission has no chance of soft lunar landing
I can imagine Codd saying the exact inverse: any sufficiently complex data model quickly becomes intractable for developers to assemble ideal indexes and algorithms together each time in response to new queries, which kills productivity and reduces iteration speed. Particularly as the scale and relative distributions of the data changes. The whole idea of declarative 4GLs / SQL is that a query engine with cost-based optimization can eliminate an entire class of such work for developers.

Undoubtedly the reality of widely available SQL systems today has not lived up to that original relational promise in the context of modern expectations for large-scale reactive applications - maybe (hopefully) that can change - but in the meantime it's good to see Rama here with a fresh take on what can be achieved with a modern 3GL approach.
But cross-reference that with OpenSecrets to see if it's even worth pursuing. If they're in office, they're probably taking bribes from Boeing.
