Depends on your PoV.

From my [summed up] European's PoV Obama was very right wing and Trump is veryyy right wing. From an American's PoV that PoV lacks nuance. So I generally refrain from using those simplistic terms when potentially talking to Americans; gets discussion nowhere.

Here's the data on political groups (coalitions) in the EP. [1] Claiming these are "left wing" is.. well.. clearly US centric PoV, but also overly simplistic and bifurcating. Calling Europe left-wing, knowing that Europeans are going to read it and reply is also fuel for a flamewar. Hence why I linked some data to put things in perspective.

Yesterday I was getting 4 new Sonoff Basic switches (2 from Gearbest, 2 from Rosegal). 2 of them were broken and looked somehow botched. Pictures (+blog post in German, sorry) https://blog.rolandmoriz.de/2018/05/30/warnung-vor-sonoff-ba...

While I was impressed by the Sonoff S20 build quality, at least the Sonoff basic series seem to be unreliable and even dangerous to use.

Disruptive behaviour is usually due to external factors I imagine - are you struggling with your parents' divorce, are you over tired from gaming all night, are you on drugs, suffering teen angst, ...

Disruption because the class is above or below your level is also, to some extent, uncontrollable by the teacher - they have 30 kids (typically in UK) to cater to.

Teachers can be entertaining, but that isn't always conducive to the subject matter.
Veblen goods offer signalling opportunity, and must be both immediately cognisibly to the intended signalling audience (though not necessarially others) and high in cost in order to manifest credible signalling. They are not utility or consumption goods, but information goods.

They exist where the underlying trait being signalled is difficult to communicate clearly or effectively, a circumstance especially true of social status signalling. Paradoxically, the hyperwealthy need not signal so loudly (they themselves are sufficiently well-known), but as one descends the ranks, say, below the top ten and above, say, the 90%ile (higher or lower as you prefer), that signalling becomes more necessary and costly.

This is similar to a whole set of fad-driven behaviours, ranging from speech and etiquette to clothing, diet, music, politics, management, and programming fashions, where the underlying domain is complex. Eventually the faad itself becomes dominated by poseurs whose false affectation dilutes the signal.

It happens I'm a bit familiar with this circuit. I think the author misread the schematic. The burned-out component is more likely the current-sense resistor R2 (4.64 ohms).

In any case, it's unlikely that a 1.5 Mohm resistor would burn out like that. Ant or not, you would need a lot higher than line voltage to cause that much power dissipation over 1.5 Mohm.

The combination of two series 1.5 Mohm resistors R3 and R4 is actually well visible in the first photo (two undamaged components with "155" printed on them).

I use Bernstein publicfile myself. Not only is it likewise a simple static content HTTP(S) server, but the rewrites in the OpenBSD patch doco here are standard functionality (and have been all along, for the past nigh on two decades) in publicfile. The second rewrite rule, incorporating the virtual host name into the pathname, is actually the default behaviour of publicfile; and the first rewrite rule, making de an alias for ch, is done with a symbolic link in the filesystem in publicfile.

When applying CS/ML to finance, methodology is absolutely crucial. Yet most work - even work done by quants in major sell-side banks - pays little attention to methodology; it is often naively assumed that the methodology applied to classifying cat images can be directly transferred into the domain of finance.

The article is right about the frontend side, but I think it doesn't look to good on the backend either. The actual code side (frameworks, libraries and languages) is relatively stable, but mostly because most of the complexity nowadays goes away from monoliths and into services, of which many are off the shelf, and plagued with the same issues as all the trendy javascript frameworks. Nosql-database du jour that solves some problems allegedly very efficiently, messaging systems, thousand ways to script infrastructure and virtualization.. the hype is not in the code and libraries, it's in the infrastructure components, but that doesn't make it any better.

I feel like there's potentially a market for a general forum that provides the ability for anyone to create subforums, the same way Reddit has subreddits. Obviously you'd need something more advanced than the usual complete subforum list as the main page.

Big forums like SomethingAwful already have may subforums for different interests, and letting people create subforums seems like a logical next step from that. You could create ones for interests, or even for your business so you don't have to set up your own forum. If it seems weird to have a subforum for a business inside a larger forum, well, people already do exactly that on Facebook and Reddit.

Reddit provides something similar to the same thing, but the format doesn't work well for long term or chronological discussions.

Maybe the time for traditional forums has been and gone, but I'm not so sure.
Coca-Cola hit with insider breach, 8,000 affected
Any chance you could elaborate on this, because I dont really understand how it answers my original question.

I have not checked recently, but last I saw, the database libraries for rust did not use async IO. Looking at (what I presume is) the code for the benchmark [1], it seems it imports the postgres and diesel crates. Last I heard diesel did not support async [2] and looking at the postgres crate [3] it does not mention async, which I assume it would in case it was supported.

My whole point was that, sure, I can see how async IO is important for handling many concurrent http requests, but each of those requests would still have to pass through the synchronous database driver which uses threadpooling, right? Or what am I missing here? I can see how it has great performance on the plaintext and json benchamrks, but I dont understand what gives it such a large boost in fortunes or multiple queries.

For example, Iron is doing 300k at plaintext/json benchmarks, but drops to 18k on fortunes, and the way I remember the benchmark code it is written in a fairly straight forward way. If the database layer supported 160k requests per second I dont see why we would see such a huge drop? (Edit: 160k is the performance of Actix on fortunes.)

I also recall seeing numbers on the 10k order of magnitude from doing naive benchmarks with the various database libraries available, without any http part to the application. But I'm not sure, maybe I'm missing something or remember incorrectly?

> I do things "the hard way". If I'm using a dynamic language WTF do I need an ORM for

I think it's mostly premature optimization. People think writing DTOs is challenging, so they want an ORM. But since you end up needing DTOs anwyays, removing SQL capabilities from the app means writing SQL in not SQL, and things like joins suddenly become slow and problematic and result in really heavy systems that are harder to change. For the joy of a quicker startup the entire project moves slower.

ORMs have their place, but in the majority of the systems I've seen they were unnecessary, and in broad terms don't provide any particular productivity advantage over using "dumb" SQL-based mapping solutions (a la Dapper [https://github.com/StackExchange/Dapper]), that preserve the power of SQL.

> There is very little integrity in a free paper, it's basically a propaganda leaflet handed out by large organizations to influence your behaviour, with a few crosswords in the back.

Bit of an over-simplification, I think. The Evening Standard was paid-for until a few years ago. It's now ad-funded. That doesn't _necessarily_ mean that the advertisers influence the editorial line: there are plenty of publications that get the majority of their income from advertising yet remain editorially independent (I edited one for six years).

The ES has historically been very editorially independent (generally not with an editorial line I like tbh, but that's by the by) and yet remained profitable. Now it's crossing the line towards ad-controlled. That's their decision, but I don't believe it was inevitable.

(That said, I think I'd prefer puff pieces about Google to the relentless crap about some guy called Nicky Haslam that the ES has historically run...)

Not so much. These are rents goods.

Veblen goods are an information adjunct to a complex state that the buyer wishes to communicate more clearly. In this, they're related to a broader Gresham's Law dynamic, where the complex state is a "good coin", and the Veblen good makes communicating the "coin's" value, and differentiating it in the marketplace, more effective.

Though there may well be a rents dynamic to this as well.

HCOL cities, where housing decisions and dynamics are driven by earning rather than signalling characteristics, are rents, but not information goods in the sense of Veblen.

(A high-status, marquee, mansion or apartment more closely resembles a Veblen good, though for signalling purposes this cannot apply to an entire regional housing market.)
Sorry, but unless it’s a toy drone, the battery weighs a lot more than 100g. I own almost 20 drones and I think only the Tello batteries clock in at that range in weight and it’s useless imho to a police department. My Phantom (nearly 500g battery) / Inspire (515g) / Mavic (~250g) batteries are all way heavier than 100g and the batteries I use for my S1000 are over 2,000g. That said, 100g additional payload is significant for everything but my S1000, but I had to correct the statement re: batteries.

As to transponder power usage, it would be very negligible compared to the power draw of the ESC/motors.

Belong doesn't always imply ownership, it is more nuanced. "We belong together" doesn't mean that there's a contract of sale putting one of us in the others ownership.

Children belong with their parents. Parents belong with their children. It's mutual.

That aside:

High levels of intellectual learning are not the be-all-and-end-all; ie should not be the ultimate goal. Fulfillment of the person, and in turn of those around them, is a better outcome IMO.

Schools often focus on intellectual outcomes to set kids up for their future; but parents should watch that the kids have a measure of fulfillment now -- this is why the huge focus on attendance as the primary statistic in UK schools is so damaging IMO. Kids need an education (not necessarily in a school) but a family holiday can be a part of that education and provide a measure of enjoyment to life.

I absolutely agree with the sentiment, so don't get me wrong, but have any cloud provider ever did so? And most importantly, given that such change would impact user confidence, would it really be worth on the long term?

Of course there are several other reasons to avoid vendor lock-in, but as far as "major bad faith pricing change" goes, I believe it's unlikely.

There would be multiple code units, just 1 of the mini headers/BOM.

I like the idea of forbidding signed integer representations other than 2's complement, as it is de facto standard, pretty much nobody makes CPUs with non-standard integer representations, partly due to C programs assuming 2's complement integer representation.

What I don't like about this proposal is defining signed integer overflow as 2's complement wrapping. Yes, yes, I know undefined behaviour is evil, and programs wouldn't become much slower. However, if a program has signed overflow, it's likely a bug anyway. Defining signed overflow as 2's complement wrapping would mean not allowing other behaviours, in particular, trapping. On architectures with optional overflow traps (most architectures not called x86 or ARM), trapping would be much more preferable to quiet bugs. Meanwhile, while it is undefined behaviour, the implementation would be still free to define it, for instance in GCC it can be done with `-fwrapv`.
