There's a really interesting bit at the end:

> Norway was considering an unlikely birthday present for neighboring Finland: an Arctic mountain peak on Mount Halti, the highest mountain in Finland, whose 4,478-foot summit is in Norway.

> To mark the 100th anniversary of Finland’s declaration of independence from Russia, a group of Norwegians was urging the government to move a point on its border with Finland about 490 feet to the north and 650 feet to the east.

> But that ran afoul of an article of the Norwegian Constitution that states unequivocally that the Kingdom of Norway is “indivisible and inalienable,” and the friendly gesture was called off, at least for now.

The constitution is available online, and has other interesting bits in it, especially as a contrast to the US Constitution: https://www.stortinget.no/globalassets/pdf/english/constitut...

> The King shall at all times profess the Evangelical-Lutheran religion.

There's also a repealed Article 10, but the English-language Wikipedia article doesn't say anything about it.

You would have the QByteArray first (e.g. read from a file or socket), parse the <?xml?>, thus find the encoding, convert the rest to QString with that, and parse the rest from the QString.

Agreed with the sentiment re: streamlined experience.

We struggled a bit with whether or not it really "belonged" in Grafana, but we believe in alerting while "in the flow".

It makes a lot of sense (from an experience standpoint) to 'manage' alerting while you're 'managing' your dashboards, visualizations, and queries; you already have a sense of the data _right there_.
Spot on, and it's really really hard. I had the privilege of working for a CEO who scaled his business from < 20 people when I joined to ~300 when I left. You really feel each of these stages and it's very difficult to ride the transitions through them, especially if you've done a good job in phase one and you have strong product fit with your market, the business kinda just gets sucked along for a while and it's hard to "feel" the break points if you will. There is a transition from the tactical CEO to the thoughtful CEO that is hard to describe and seems hard for many of the CEOs I coach to execute. Not transitioning quickly enough through these stages and steps, and remembering to somewhat modulate your message regarding the vision mission and purpose stuff results in very uncomfortable periods of time, especially uncomfortable if your company has caught up to your thought. I do think CEO at scale is an incredibly difficult job.

But that was my point, spent fuel doesn't have to be kept in water at all, if it is sufficiently dispersed. Take a spent fuel assembly remove each of the fuel rods and lay them down on the ground and you're done caveat two things, one they emit alpha, beta, and some gamma radiation and two they warm their surroundings. So there always exists a solution to the equation of heat generated over time = heat absorbed by ambient air keep the total temperature rise below that of the safe temperature of the cladding.

If you lay a spent rod out on the ground in the air, it may glow (would depend on the amount of material in a single rod) and you wouldn't want to approach it without protection (again more material more radiation) but it would be fine.

The reason people put these things in water is two fold, one is that water is a great transporter of heat and you can generate almost an arbitrary amount of heat in a small space if you have enough water flow to carry it away (ask any highend gamer PC aficionado :-)) and water absorbs neutrons, which if they were not caught and hit another fissile atom nearby slowly enough might spit it, or a non-fissile atom might become an unstable nucleotide (which is going to eventually emit an alpha or beta particle)

If the material is clad in a neutron opaque material and can transfer the latent heat to the surrounding atmosphere or fluid at a rate that keeps the system temperature under the breakdown temperature of the containment, then it will be stable "forever".

Yes, it takes a year or two for the short lived nucleotides in a fuel rod pulled from a reactor to decay, but once it has, you can safely store this stuff.

In terms of why we haven't, most of the issues around storing high level nuclear waste arise because third parties do not want to encapsulate permanently this material, because doing so would make it uneconomical to recover. And in that calculus they know its "easier" to reprocess spent fuel for bomb grade uranium and plutonium than it is to build a breeder reactor to make it.
My question is how does one "convert the rest to QString with that", in terms of actual code?

> "If you're experienced, the Rust community doesn't discourage it. They likely know what they're doing."

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that I can understand why ticki just reimplemented it here; because they are experienced enough to know what they're doing, AND because this isn't a dangerous unsafe operation. The AND is important here. There are a couple of unsafe operations which are basically no big deal, and this is one of them (another is the use of unchecked indexing in some cases).

An inexperienced Rust programmer would generally still avoid unsafe like the plague and ask around before doing this. We get this often enough -- folks asking how to do lower level operations well (and often getting pointed to crates like byteorder).

An experienced Rust programmer knows that this specific operation is trivial enough to not worry that much. I know about byteorder, so I would use it in this case, but if I hadn't I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be too averse to just doing the type pun.

I'm not talking about general unsafe code here. I've seen very experienced Rust programmers ask for help in getting rid of or double-checking unsafe code. I'm talking about this specific instance, and saying that it's not in the category of unsafe code that needs to be worried about.
What I got from it:
- model time explicitly
- build computer systems to work at a galactic scale
- know that reality is distinct from your mental models ("the map is not the territory") and you will see the present more clearly. The essence of comedy, science, and art involves changing the models through which we view the world.
The comment at the bottom of the article reminds me why secession is virtually impossible in most places in the world. Any such attempts falter because they're instantly declared unconstitutional by the parent country.

The global community encourages this kind of status quo because many countries worry their ethnic minority will be next.

The only way sadly still seems to be decades of bloodshed before the host population gets fed up enough to let them go.

I don't only mean developing countries like Sudan either. It took until 1998 for the Belfast agreement to be signed over Northern Ireland for example.

If by help you mean financially and aren't including help using their time/talents, then yes. I know a lot of people who would be much better off if their parents could help financially, but their parents could not afford such assistance. Assistance of time/talents is possible too, but not reported on here.

From the buyer's end, what's notable in both cases described here is that the customer asked the vendor to sign the NDA after having already divulged the project scope and details. You're doing it wrong!

The whole purpose of an NDA in these cases is to protect the proprietary information that is handed over by the buyer in the normal course of scoping and proposing a project. Karma and politeness aside, when you are out in the marketplace, you need to protect yourself.

The DC voltage supply on the Commodore side looks like 5V, and at a guess, the TTL probably runs at that voltage too. The Pi won't be happy with more than 3.3V on its UART pins, so the USB adapter also fills the purpose of a voltage adapter.
I remember seeing advice to include a clause that makes their ownership of intellectual property contingent on paying you in full. It's easy to get them to agree to up front, because they intend on paying you (or at least want to look like they do), so it's irrelevant as long as you get paid. If you don't, however, it means you have actual leverage and their BATNA is getting owned in a lawsuit.

Its definitely one of the things that shows up when you call about a lot of vendor's software support. I find it rather annoying that a company tells you to buy a specific Linux distribution then pulls exactly what you say.

Thinking about it (maybe because I am watching a update go as I type), what the heck does this say about how we program? I guess in some ways its why I like the idea of pledge. It makes me think better of the programmer because they have put some thought into their program. I'm not sure what I should think when I see SELINUX=disabled as a possible solution.
First, slippery slope is a fallacy: having a public broadcaster does not lead to socialized cars.

Second, we do have socialized food, it's called welfare, and going forward, that situation will only increase under the name 'guaranteed basic income' because we're automating away all the jobs people might have.

Third, you have media choice in Canada: elsewhere you say CTV and Global are better. Good choice.

> It provides no indirect benefit either.

This is silly. It provides a lot of jobs that pay well or offer good security or both, which benefits the economy generally in a number of ways. It provides funding for the arts, also economically beneficial but also culturally valuable, to some at least. It provides a media outlet directly subject to government controls, which takes some heat off CTV and Global to meet policy goals that the CBC can fulfill, like Canadian Content. It provides a public good for people like me so that when a new levy for a stadium comes around, I'm okay with paying the levy even if I'll get no direct benefit myself.

> Instead it misguides and misinforms people.

Okay, you don't like seeing a viewpoint you find wrong and harmful to be funded with your tax dollars; if the gov't funded a version of Fox News up here, I'd probably feel the same way. Whether or not I actually opposed that public Fox North would depend on my feeling about whether I can tolerate it as part of the broader program of public spending--maybe I'd be fine with it if the CBC was then allowed to drift even further left.

The point remains that we collectively compromise in order to ensure that the public good reaches the broadest number of citizens. If you're unable to tolerate $45.71 a year going to something that your fellow citizens enjoy, suck it up: I'm sure there's lots you're enjoying now that they'd prefer not to fund.
Ah, ok. I had the same problem (from Graphite era) but splitting the datasources up was fairly painless.
Others have mentioned many ways to write useful notes.

My recommendation is that you rewrite your notes to retain what you learned.

I like to think of the rewrite as refactoring my notes on a particular subject. I like to treat my collection of notes as a concise book/article on a topic, this means I should be able to read through them and have everything I need. Ideally this means key points are quoted with references to other notes such as lecture slides or books and page numbers.

The other recommendation I have is that the time between your first write and your rewrite depends on how good your memory is. I prefer to do it between 3 to 7 days after the first write. This means that anything that didn't fully stick gets somewhat forgotten, but once I re-read lecture slides or parts of a book, I pick it up again, and am able to put in a more thorough, yet concise, summary.

As you rewrite you should also focus on whether your organisation of the topic fits this new set of notes. The high level table of contents becomes your your view on the ontology of the subject matter. Think of it as a mind-map that you can refer back to and expand on as your knowledge about the domain grows.

BTW, I used to use Evernote with their linking feature for this. I now maintain a folder of Markdown files that link to each other. Maintaining your own personal Wiki may also achieve the same goal.

> They end up reinventing the wheel repeatedly.

You mean like altering attributes directly on elements (and proud that they had encapsulated the code in a reusable function) instead of adding/removing a class?
I doubt this. In fact I doubt the idea of interstellar trade.

Beyond a certain point of post-scarcity, everything stops being scarce, including invention and innovation.

We're already at that point with artefacts like music. Aliens could turn up tomorrow with centuries of unique music, and after the initial decade or five of novelty the music would end up as yet another playlist on Spotify, among countless others - so many no individual human could ever listen to more than a tiny fraction of them.

That's a rather silly example, but the point is still valid: if you imagine the same trend occurring in physics, biology, and technology, you end up at a place only a few centuries from so much novelty and invention is being produced that it's no longer a scare commodity. External sources might add a few minor tweaks to the generation system, but when even game changer technology stops being scarce, what is there left to trade?
We'll probably be in the same position. Grafana will make simple thresholds easy to visualize, Kapacitor can do more advanced anomaly detection, and we still need something like Sensu to do alerts that aren't really bound to metrics - and it provides a dashboard of alerts. Kinda annoying, but it works, I guess.

You cited Gigerenzer, Neyman, Pearson as if they opposed the concept of power. Fisher might be in a different boat but he also claimed that smoking doesn't cause lung cancer, so he probably wasn't always right. :-)

Sample size, effect size & power are related concepts in the context of power analysis -- see also Cohen's "A primer on power", which is available on the Internet. The concept of power has nothing to do with "degrees of evidence" or vague hypotheses.

The list in this article isn't exhaustive, it's just one set of suggestions. They are good and useful suggestions, but not the only possible criteria. You should make your own individual decisions based on the priorities and goals you have for your own life; nobody can tell you what is most important to you. What is it that you really want to accomplish? What are you willing to sacrifice to get there, and is that more or less than what you would actually have to sacrifice?

Keep an eye out for unintended consequences; keep digler999's reply in mind, for instance. But also don't overanalyze; whatever decision you make at this point probably won't be permanent.

Zabbix and Icinga2 were the most appealing alternatives that didn't require versioned config files for alerts last time I checked.

> my biggest gripe is: no back button

I had an Android for awhile and the hardware back button made no sense to me. I thought most phones eventually moved to a software back button. I never really knew if I would be going back inside the app, to the last app I had open, to the home screen, or if I was at the end of the queue and it did nothing. Apple took much longer to add it, but I prefer the context their implementation has and gestures for it.
