College is not the place to teach racists to become humanists. If they didn't learn that at home or at school, they certainly aren't going to learn that in college. They need to do some soul searching, which can be done from home.

Why would they have to change sims? IIRC Signal only requires a number for UX purposes, numbers are never stored on their servers.

These are some very good suggestions. I think they should take note on how the Kubernetes project operates, with the various interest groups, Slack channels, meeting notes + their recordings on Youtube. I think those channels catch a large

I recommend the book The Emperor of All Maladies that goes into detail of this discovery.

Thanks for the info, tbh you just validated my decision not to buy it. My 2015 iMac 5k has become really loud since the Catalina update when running an external display, even after replacing the fan and power unit. The fan noise is biggest

Are you seeing any fan noise issues when using multiple displays?

I'm almost certain if it weren't Torvalds, it would be someone else who creates something like Git. He just had the need and skills to create it. Like Bill Gates he was just a competent person, at the right place and time.

I don't think the idea of 'content control' is a bad one at all, as in you may want to filter out offensive content etc. It's just that it's very dumb to spell out the exact type of controversial words/content

I think the main purpose is for car-to-car communication, latency could be very critical in some situations.

Could you give a quick recap on the type of problems involved in this domain?

So I guess that makes residents of Kashmir eligible?

by nujabe 6y ago
This is ridiculous. What next, residents of Crimea be offered citizenship? Tibet? If I were a UK citizen I'd be extremely upset that my country's leaders are offering foreigners citizenship en mass with such careless expedition.

This is tremendous news, I've been waiting for this kind of investment in Africa from big tech for years. I remember talking to an engineer from AWS that helps builds their data centers about the challenges of building data centers in

The scenario you described is a classic one and I really don't think it's as problematic as you may think. I had to reread it because it sounded too trivial. How about just throwing an error when the async function fails to write

by nujabe 6y ago
Callbacks are a bit too much of an eye sore imo. >One thing that is tricky with async is that nobody tells you if the async function never does what it should Could you clarify this?

I definitely wouldn't consider the first video 'advanced' material (an excellent talk btw), JavaScript event loop is something beginners should know about and intermediate developers know very well.

Firebase Hosting is superior to any of those alternatives you mentioned (netlify, amplify, zeit etc) in terms of capability. With the added benefit of tight integration with other firebase products (analytics, authentication and cloud stora

What you're looking for is Firebase Authentication & customs tokens to link with your current auth system.

IIRCC most of the consensus algorithms used at Google are based on Paxos, which makes sense as Raft paper only came out in 2014 and maybe an extra few years to really eck out a solid implementation (etcd).
