I'm pretty sure this is actually impossible in a distributed system with independent operation, and if it were possible, it would be terrible UI anyway.

Problem one is if you want to order events chronologically, you need to precisely decide what the time of the event means. Probably not the time the client hit send, because you can only measure that on the client and client clocks are at best approximately accurate. You could consider the time the server received it, and assume your server times are accurate, but that's still problematic because even in a well functioning system, if a user sends message A to server.wdc around the same time as a user sends message B to server.lax, users connected to server.wdc will get A then B, and users connected to server.lax will get B then A, and this leads to problem two:

Problem two is messages generally display in order of receipt. If you get a message that slots in earlier in the thread, you may need to scroll up to see it. In a busy theead, it's going to be hard to read all the messages because of the back and forth. If you send a message, it may need to be reordered too. If you go back to the thread later, new messages may be in different places. This is more disorienting IMHO than different message orders for different viewers.

Problem two gets even worse when you don't just have distance between servers, but also some network or other operational issues. If a server accepts a message, but is unable to forward it immediately, you probably want it to forward it whenever it can... if there's a significant delay, now the message is again going to be displayed in a place where it's difficult to see.

You can kind solve this by forcing messages to a group to go through a single queue which forces an ordering, but that makes accepting messages for a group a lot more difficult.
Pretty clear and straightforward explanation for awk! That's a good article.
Honestly, no idea. I got into RSS about a year ago. I just use Thunderbird, which I already use for my mail
> Browsers all run their own root program.

Do they?

I believe Firefox allows OS-level root CAs in addition to their built-in ones (not sure if that includes OS-provided ones or is limited to local administrator/user installed ones).

Chrome used to defer to the OS-provided one entirely, but it looks like it now has its own store and ignores OS-provided CAs (but does accept admin-provided ones).

Hm, the more I look at this... It seems like they do, these days :) At least the large ones; I doubt that smaller browsers such as Opera, Brave etc. have their own trusted root program.
A sustainable population - not increasing just staying the same - requires each and every single female have more than 2 children on average.

Starting in your 30s, especially later 30s makes this extremely difficult. It takes months of perfectly hitting ovulation windows to get pregnant, and then you generally want at least ~9 months between children, so you're looking at ~2 years per child, all while fertility starts to rapidly decline as you head into your 40s.

The long and short is that a sustainable population is going to require the majority to start having children in their 20s. That figure going down has nothing to do with teen pregnancy.
Then instead imagine this: the user really is innocent and just happened to coincidentally send the message right after the start of a long period of poor connectivity (like a flight, or a road trip, etc). If you just allow it to go through after an arbitrary delay, with only a log of the received time for liability purposes, then the user wouldn't have any indication of this scenario occurring.

Wouldn't it be better in that case to show an error so that they can make sure the situation is addressed appropriately?
Right, right, it must be the propaganda.

That's why Bill G, Larry E, Jeff B, Mark Z, and Warren B have all left, because the US is a shithole (your word) and they can afford to go anywhere they want.
When exactly did colonialism end, in your view? The British Empire was pretty substantial until the forties. The refrigerator and automobile were both invented well before that.

It is not strictly correct to say China was uncolonized. I suppose parts of it were not.

Global trade has, indeed, brought everything everywhere; but the present operation of global trade -- the norms used, the international bodies involved, even the weights and measures -- are all the result of power projection by western, colonial powers and prudent adaptation by other countries. Even China's legal system is an adaptation of a western legal system (the civil law). The prevalence of certain institutions is something we take for granted today but does have its roots in colonialism.

They are acronyms. Why do you think differently? And acronyms are abbreviations. If you want to argue more you could state they’re initialisms, but SAN is standard algebraic notation so it’s definitely an acronym, while EPD could be argued not, but instead to be an initialism. In any case Wikipedia says it’s not a settled matter so why even argue about it?

I feel like after all these decades of research and implementation, compilers (and runtimes) ought to be better at directly explaining what's wrong.

"cross-country" has a similar meaning in many contexts, skiing, biking, planes, running, etc. I believe it was originally coined in running and then extended to other pursuits. The 'country' part of the term comes from the sense that means "non-urban land" rather than "geopolitical state".

The IVF indexing can be considered into two phases, computing the centroids (KMeans), and assigning each point to the centroids as the inverted lists. The most time-consuming part is at the KMeans stage, and can be greatly accelerated with GPU. 1M 960dim vec can be clustered in less than 10s.
We did the KMeans phase externally, and the assignment phase inside postgres. The KMeans part depends only on the data distribution, not on any specific data. So we can do sampling on the data, and inserting/deleting the data won't affect the KMeans result significantly.
For the update, it's just a matter of assigning the new vector to a specific cluster and appending it to the corresponding list. It's very light compared to inserting in hnsw
Nope. Nobody changed the argument. No one said "USA subsidizes drug development out of a societal sense of charitable obligation to the rest of the world." It just so happens that - due to the unfortunate design of our system - the rest of the world is receiving a subsidy.

In fact, there are European-HQ'd pharma companies that also make the lion's share of their profits in the US - so that's certainly not benefiting the US.
I think you forget that a lot of those things are heavily discounted for people with senior citizen cards. Healthcare and public transportation get cheaper when you get older. (The bus is free here for people over 60). Even utility bills get cheaper with a seniors card.

I think you have a vision of old people as unhealthy and inactive, I can't think of any DIY that I do now that I would not be able to do well into my 80's.
The industrial revolution gave us clothing for cheaper, and much more importantly, gave us a lot of other more interesting things to spend our time and energy on!

I agree with you, and think copyright should be for a short period disconnected from the lifetime of the author, but _no logical argument_ is taking it way too far. Here's one:

Copyright expiration during an author's lifetime directly impacts their incentive to make derivative works, because everyone else can do it too. In a world where Lustbader is churning out The Bourne Pontification, would Ludlum's own sequel be nearly as commercially successful?

If the author is dead, no derivative works can be made, so we may no longer want this protection.

Does this argument sway me personally? No. Are there workarounds like trademarks? Yes. Does (life + 20) make more sense than max(life,20)? No.

But you're being needlessly black and white here.

First bad#1 is the correct version (except for the copy&paste), the merging of emoji parts should happen after you move the cursor out, it's ok for this behavior to be contextual

> Byte-wise, this should be rendered as a single emoji.

It will be right after you've finished editing! No magic cursor movements.

And it should allow you to move "inside" emojis so you could edit the second modifier to something else (and worth some great UI that could guide you as to which options are available), which would be impossible in the "correct" TextEdit, where you'd have to recompose a new emoji from scratch

They aren't in 'traditional' households where at least one parent stays at home. Without that daycare/nanny and other costs can become very significant. It's also not just daytime stuff. Babies need to feed every 2-3 hours, including at night, and each feeding session can be quite lengthy. That doesn't synergize so well with getting a full night's rest to go join the rat race the next day.

In modern times clothing became boring precisely when Mark Zukerberg first revealed video of his walk-in closet having nothing but racks of identical gray T-shirts in it. Legend has it that from that day forward no striped or colored shirts have ever been seen in Silicon Valley.

Then all socks went from white to black, oddly enough.

The other clothing tragedy that happened around the same time-frame was that someone in Hollywood declared Fanny Packs to be out of style right when tight jeans came into being. This was a true tragedy for the hipsters, because fitting large phones into yoga-fit tight jeans would've been something even Harry Houdini would scoff at.

I've worn Levis 501s and used a Fanny Pack forever, and I never plan to stop.

I think this varies wildly depending on where you live. Where I live (Melbourne), just the cost of suitable housing (a/ near a school, b/ close to most jobs, and c/ with space for 1+ children) is so high that it makes it difficult for a lot of couples to even consider children.

Exactly, and I'd claim this is even true in their area as well. "Technical Ingenuity" is the obvious arsenal in an engineer's bag, and that's why it will bias engineers as the solution to all problems, even engineering problems.

For example, on a previous team we had an issue where configuration was littered in too many places. It was confusing, and people didn't know where to change what in order to onboard a new client, and they'd always forget something.

Well, most engineers went directly to re-architecting/refactoring as the solution. We should centralize all config in some new central config store, and have all systems pull their configuration from there. Once it's all in one place, it'll be clear what to change and we can't forget to change any.

One engineer though said, we just need a good wiki that clearly describes all the steps. Well, that took about 2 days, and it solved the problem. No technical ingenuity needed.
> a meaningful name is better than an arbitrary made-up name.

What's the difference? All names are ultimately arbitrary and made-up. For what it is worth, my best at attempt at interpreting this is that a meaningful name is an arbitrary, made-up name that also comes with a reasonably precise definition. In which case, the idea of choosing a meaningful name is the intent of the article.
There is a correlation between media reporting on suicides and suicides in the area, likely due copycats of people on the precipice. Obviously we also cannot stop reporting on the topic totally, so this is the balance, also why you find suicide helplines alongside such articles.
No city in the PNW has had anything resembling a conservative anything for many decades. The people here are so out of touch with the rest of the country, it's a bit worrisome honestly.

> The reality is outside of a few places in Texas, republican controlled cities are just as heavily restricted and zoned as democrat controlled cities.

I mean... you're ignoring the largest Republican state for what reason exactly?

But anyway, I think a lot of zoning policy is set by the state.

For example (and this is frankly why efforts like DOGE are necessary), it is simply true that politicians of both parties will seek to maximize their power. State codes typically grant cities zoning powers. They don't have to. But most do. Thus, one can expect that any politician will wield that power.

I've never met a politician who didn't fully exercise their power. Those who do become folk heroes like Cincinnatus -- so rare is the accomplishment.

At the end of the day, we the people simply need to remove the power from the state, one way or another. If DOGE works, it would provide a good model for how this could happen.

From my perspective, I think that every decade, the citizens should elect a 'deregulation' committee whose only power is to remove regulation. Or, randomly pick a group of 12 people to sit on a grand jury to eliminate laws periodically. That's their only power, and they'd be anonymous. Maybe that'd work.

> It’s their asset

To be clear, the trademark is their asset. Sun trademarked the name JavaScript in 1997, for reasons assumed to be related to Java, probably in anticipation of a use case that never arrived. This had nothing to do with the existing language JavaScript which was created in 1993, and had no relationship with Sun.

> Obviously it has value or somebody wouldn’t be trying to cancel it.

"Somebody" is trying to cancel it because Oracle have been blindly defending it, not because it has any business value to Oracle. The JavaScript language has precedence, and today it's sheer popularity and major role in open web standard means Oracle could not possibly benefit from using it for any business purpose due to the strong existing association. It's only practical purpose is to torment the JavaScript community and further cement Oracle's reputation as a litigious cancer of the technology world.

They blindly defend it because they are a mindless lawnmower that consumed it, not because they are the wiser and know it has value.
Ah yes, I remember when BTC was going to supplant Visa/Mastercard... 12 years ago.
While cool, this also seems utterly wasteful. Video games offer known "analytical" solutions for the interactions that the model provides as a "statistical approximation", so to say.

I would consider a different approach, when the training phase watches games (or video recordings) and refines the formulas that describe its physics, the geometry of the area, the optics, etc. The result would be a "map" that is "playable" without much if any inference involved, and with no time limitation dictated by the size of the context to keep.

Very certainly, video game map generation by AI is a thing, and creating models of motion by watching and then fitting reasonably simple functions (fewer than millions of parameters) is also known.

I cannot be the first person to think about such possibilities, so I wonder what does the current SOTA look like there.

There isn't anything on Mars that would warrant a city. It isn't merely inconveniently located like your dairy farm its amazing expensive, unlivable, and worthless outside of science which is why you want scientists studying it but its pointless to build a city there.

Its not about how we build a city there its about there being no reason to do so this century. It was fucking trivual to answer that question for Every other frontier and the dairy farm because however remote the farm it had soil and an atmosphere.

Something I wonder, along these lines, is whether we're measuring the right thing. For instance, does "thriving" depend on things like life expectancy, infant mortality, maternal mortality, quality of health care, pollution, crime, incarceration, traffic deaths, and so forth? The way I think about it, "economics" is supposed to study the quality of life, not just a few isolated numbers that happen to be in units of dollars.

Do any of our "rivals" have entire regions with the levels of poverty seen in places like Mississippi, southern Ohio, or northern Michigan? I grew up in an area with patches of poverty like that.
SpaceX has received something like $20 billion from NASA and the DoD, to launch things into space and resupply the ISS and shit starting like 2008. It's fair to say Starlink has not received any funding from the government since that $800 million was rescinded though, but the line between SpaceX and Starlink's money is a bit fuzzy.

The entire premise of insurance is that people get care for their medical issues. Mental health issues are medical issues; just because they manifest in terms of behavioral and thinking changes doesn't make them any less so.

Mental Health coverage does cover therapy, and therapy of various sorts is effective to treat or ameliorate a number of mental health issues, but it also covers psychiatric medication.

Also mental health coverage covers people's kids and dependents, not just them, your focus on the policy holder is a little narrow, I think.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers survey puts the average new grad salary at $68,000/year (https://www.naceweb.org/docs/default-source/default-document...)

That’s ~$7000 more than the median earnings of the overall population (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkyeng.t01.htm).

There will be college grads struggling and non grads thriving, but on average a person just out of college is doing at least as well as the general population income wise and can expect their incomes to rise with time.
An important point, whichever way you want to interpret it, is that you can now buy Bitcoin exposure via ETFs like IBIT. Those didn't exist in the last run. The upside is they enable more liquid investment, especially to non-native investors (e.g. those that don't know what a crypto wallet is). The downside is it could drive speculation or allow manipulation by big banks and hedge funds.

this reads more like you're anxiously anticipating criticism bc you've been given feedback in a bad manner before. i interpreted nothing in OPs post, or condescending.

as someone who works largely in C and C++ codebases, these kinds of comments are gems, especially when i learn something.

what about it seems condescending? we are on a public forum, literally designed for discussion -- unsolicited perspectives, factual or otherwise -- are the norm, not some off-beaten, micro-transgression.

to reciprocate using a similar tone to the one you used with OP: i just do not understand how people find this offenses -- what are you so sensitive about?
