I have written a proof of concept for making a lib in Rust and then use JNR (a wrapper of the abominable JNI) to call and be called from that lib. I was surprised to see how much easy it is to write an ABI in rust to be used in the JVM. I a

My city’s police department is actually very transparent about this. They have a campaign on social media and snail mail to inform citizen to sign up for the use of outside cameras to assist law enforcement in case they need footages for a

I just have the worst nightmare: Google abandons Photo. I have all my photos synced in Google Photo and remove duplicate in my iPhone. If they shut it down, am I screwed?

From what I know, jClarity is only contributing financial support to the AdoptOpenJDK platform: build farm, hosting binaries. I don’t think they do backport of securities or bug fixes for expired releases like Redhat or Amazon does.

I am planning to cancel Netflix depending on how good the contents on Disney Plus is and how much ads it has. I have found myself spending more time looking for things to watch in Netflix comparing to watching them. Recently, I discovered t

My first thought from whatever announced by Google nowadays is either along the line of “Hmm... some PMs or visual designers got really bored” (Gmail for example) or “someone needs a project for a promotion” (Allo for example while Gtalk or

One of the company with large contribution to the AdoptOpenJDK is jClarity. jClarity got purchased by Microsoft a few days ago. Are we seeing MS more involvement for JDK development from now on? They are pushing it big for .NET platform but

I have been involving in causal inference analysis since 2015. We use a mixed model of decision tree and fixed effect regressions. I read your paper and could not find a reference of why, while one cannot do AB test to verify the relationsh

Hulu with ads? Thanks, but I’ll bail. Pump it to $15 or even $18 without ads and we’ll talk.

Considering it took you that long to be a Lisp convert, I like to know more on how you came to the see the light. I’ve been doing coding for over 15 years, too. And, every time I tried to pick up a Lisp dialect (Clojure was the last) I coul

You know, free speech is a right in this nation. But, when I go to work I would leave my views of religions, politics and now guns at home. I just want to go to work, get things done and get the heck out. Heck, I don’t even want to stay aft

It make sense in cases where people get rich overnight (vested options, bitcoin gains or what nots) and they already spent a huge chunk of that income without setting aside for tax. If that is the case, they will soon realize they need a si

I am not sure if you're obligated to pay US federal income tax or not (either non-US resident/citizen living in the USA or US's resident/citizen in expat). If the IRS sends a formal letter to you, their intention is pret

As I get older I don’t often feel that I need to find the little things to invalidate them. But, I have to admit that I still feel very reluctant when I am asked to write good promotion feedbacks for them. In the back of my mind, I always h

I use a real IDE for my day to day programming work. I was forcing myself to use Vim for everything but failed pretty hard. I heard James Gosling once said something along the lines of: I don’t understand the cult-like behavior of using a t

I really hope that the impossible burger and the likes will be a rising trend upticking US soy consumption. Maybe to a point US farmers don’t have to rely heavily on China export to make a living.

I bought a samsung SmatTV in 2017 in Costco. The tv is ridden with software bug: it would turn off itself randomly or cannot turn on the tv unless I remove the remote batteries and reinstall them. The ui is really slow. I also owned a serie

Sorry, I should’ve been clearer: I need cargo to be online the 1st time so that it could resolve my dependencies for me online the 1st time because I don’t want to setup local repos and stuff. Thanks

Does that mean it only needs internet for the first build. And then, subsequent builds won’t need internet connection (if I don’t add new dependencies, of course), kind of like Maven?

I tried to read a few articles on service mesh but then still don’t understand what it tries to solve. Is it just another niche technology (I.e nodejs ecosystem)?

Yeah, I know. I am loving what I do and my boss knows it. So, he lets me run loose to do whatever I think necessary for the business. In a way, I am taking more responsibilities than he asks for my role. But at the same time, I am also taki
