Tons of UV, that's how legacy fluorescent lamps work, a nice intense UV flux excites the phosphors inside the tube. The UV can't escape the glass but the white light from the phosphors certainly can. Germicidal lamps use UV-transparent quartz.

As for x-rays the typical voltage drop across a long tube is like 100 volts, the whole point of a ballast is matching the normal hundred or so volt drop to whatever your local line voltage is using at a constant controlled current. Anyway the penetrating power of an xray is linked to the voltage drop, so it would be difficult even theoretically to generate xrays stronger than a hundred volts or so. So given that it takes 50 KV to 100 KV for a dental xray source to beam completely thru a head, you're looking at like a thousandth the penetrating power. Very hand wavy estimate that 100 volt xray source will likely not penetrate the glass and almost certainly not penetrate clothing or the surface layer of dead skin and skin oils.

The risk assessment for being nearby a heavy cloud of vaporized hot mercury would seem to imply the main risks would be biochemical in nature not physics in nature. Actually the most realistic risk is an economic death penalty if that leaks and requires hazmat cleanup.
You lose anonimity in a very short time if you either:

1- Use the new "anonymous" sim card with a phone you already own and used with other sim card (IMEI matching).

2- Use a new phone with the new sim card but let it connect through your home WiFi network (IP tracking).

3- Use a new sim card and a new phone, but carry the new phone around with your main phone so that they find your second phone and number just by looking in the carrier(s) database(s) if there are any matches to the tower areas the first phone connects to.
That question is not very useful... I've had phones that lasted weeks / months (the old Nokias), but they basically only did calling and maybe SMS.

In the last decade, I've owned several phones that passed the 2 day mark.

I currently own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 that lasts basically 2 days of heavy use, has a slightly bigger battery than the Huawei P20 (4100 mah vs 4000 mah).

I've definitely noticed Chinese phones come with vastly better batteries than Samsung and LG - I have an S8 at work and it has a 3000 mah battery.
What % of Uber rides in NYC, or other congested metros are Uber pool? Has Uber ever published data on this?

If Discord is basically proxying the raw packets from one client to the others, isn't that wasted bandwidth (for discord, not the clients). I understand from the post that the goal would be to mask the ip of the users, to shoulder user privacy and the ddos vector. Kudos on silence detection to save overhead.

So video w/audio broadcasting has to be compressed client side, then proxied through Discord's media servers, to the end user's. That's pretty smart...I just wished that I could send my raw stream to a LAN host so I could offload the compression, and allow my LAN host to provide delivery (I'm a nitro user).
Inflation hits prices before wages. Wage increases due to inflation always lag the price increases of the food/shelter/etc people need to buy.

Apache POI 4.0.0 released
Pretty cool. What is your information source on the backend and how should we interpret the confidence score?
I don't see how that's relevant. If a developer sets a pointer to point to a stack object then copying the pointer, whether manually or through a hypothetical closure, doesn't change nor create the problem.
Nothing, probably, unless the other country is also a city state in the top 10 of GDP per capita.
Lots of flies obviously, but there are bees. Come to the Pacific Northwest anytime in mid-July through mid-August and go camping in the mountains. You will see bees on feces, guarantee it. There is a camping spot near the Kalama Horse Campground, the bees - wasps especially - LOVE landing on the horse poop on the trails.
Thank you. That was fun to learn.
How feelings took over the world
I'm advocating against self-appointed police setting themselves up as arbiters of style and technique, who delay projects by weeks and multiply the effort required to pass their arbitrary notions of how a pointer should be compared to null or whatever. Its insulting, pointless and aggravating, especially when you spend Labor Day weekend cranking to get a feature ready for a demo, but can't check it in Monday because so-and-so doesn't like some style issue.
Workday | Senior Full-Stack Developer | San Francisco | http://www.workday.com | ONSITE full-time

Workday is a large and growing (public with a ~$30B market cap) enterprise software company, and we're looking for skilled senior full-stack developers to join my Media Cloud team in downtown SF. You’ll be working with an agile development team to develop interactive multimedia features and more for Workday’s application suite.

Our team is passionate and curious, and looking for developers who are the same. We value our employees above all, and believe that a kind, collaborative, and diverse team will produce better products.

Workday's software suite includes HCM, Financials, Recruiting, Learning, and more. Our software powers the world's largest and best businesses, like Amazon, Netflix, Patagonia, Wal-Mart, Sony, Toyota, VMware, Visa, and Yale University.

Our most-used languages are Python and JavaScript, but you'll also end up touching plenty of other programming languages including Kotlin, Java, etc. We are looking for candidates with 3-10+ years of full-time paid software development experience. Note that, unfortunately, we cannot sponsor new H-1Bs or hire candidates with F-1/J-1 visas, so you'll need to be a US citizen or permanent resident, or have a current H-1B (or equivalent).

If you're interested, shoot me an email: charlie.stigler@workday.com

I'm a senior engineering manager at Workday with a startup background - would love to talk to you if this job description sounds like a fit. =)
Its just a reality. It doesn’t matter if you cheat, if cheating isn’t effective. It also doesn’t matter if you cheat, if cheating is assumed (testing is only useful as a relative measure: if you expect 50% of the test will be cheated, then the comparison starts at 50%, not 0.)

The problem occurs when theres a discrepancy between groups: group A cheats, and group B doesn’t.

But if both cheat, then nothing changes, unless the cheating is total (theres nothing left to measure!). A subset of questions become meaningless, but assuming you as a test-maker can work around that, its fine.

Alternatively, you could just call it grade inflation.
That's why you need a system designed to tolerate assholes. It's not an easy problem because where there are rules, there are ways to play to the rules.

But I'm not an advocate for anarchy in any fashion. It's a situation where I can respect (some of) their desires, but don't think they've chosen the proper way to achieve those desires.

And I think it's important to clarify that I don't think anarchy is inherently evil when I'm responding to someone who is trying to say that anarchy is generally thought of as "evil". (Which to be honest I don't think it is, I think it is mostly seen as juvenile.)
Ada is way easier to read, debug, maintain, and refactor than Rust. So is the majority of other halfway safe languages (except Haskell, maybe).
The mind boggles. That's a fair comment. Here's the logic: Young children are obsessed with winning and losing. If you coach a game and say it was a draw or that you didn't keep score they will insist that one or the other side lost - even if it is their side.

The problem is that they are not always able to keep some kind of perspective on this obsession unlike most adults. So they may either start playing in a very defensive way, or just always give the ball to the big guy on their team. In general this means that they fail to explore and express themselves and develop skills. In the worst case they just drop out.

So the aim of de-emphasising the winning at a young age is so that you develop winners in the long run. New Zealand, the world champions in rugby, do this. The end product is a ruthless winning machine.

Children are not small adults, mentally or physically and most coaches have to be taught this explicitly (including me)
Nope, still eat meat. If I had to do the same thing to cows or pigs, i'm sure it would have the same effect. Hunger be damned.
That's nonsensical and ahistorical. Anarchism is the opposition to unjust hierarchy, those relationships that put some people over others and prioritizes their needs or whims. The liberal democratic state is one such hierarchical institution but far from the only one. Anarchists seek to replace the governance of people with the administration of things. How we ought to organize society for justice, for liberty, is the fundamental question anarchists seek to answer. That there are so many different tendencies (syndicalists, mutualists, Marxists, etc.) reveals that there are many answers.

Much exaggerated in value homes, yes.

> And wouldn't that make this CLO market exactly identical to the CDO market?

The mortgage debt market is backed by GSEs. When the bubble popped Fannie and Freddie held over $5 trillion in mortgage securities. They are the market maker -- the buyer of last resort -- that makes the whole mortgage securities market liquid.

CLOs don't have such a market maker. There are certainly market makers, but they aren't US GSEs with multiple trillion dollar balance sheets backed by the US Treasury. This limits the degree to which the CLO market can overextend.

Not that corporate debt can't grow to disruptive proportions. Problems with corporate debt is how the term 'junk bonds' emerged as a household word in the 80's. Now that we're rolling BBB quality debt into CLOs (as of last April, apparently) the clock is ticking once again.

There are a couple examples in ethno-American cusines. Here in the States, most authentic Mexican food connoisseurs have probably had beef tongue (Lengua) or beef head (Cabeza) tacos. If you have ever celebrated Pascha (Easter) with a Greek friend, you probably had Magiritsa which is a soup made with lamb entrails (if you have hung out with Greeks period, they tend to eat the whole lamb...all of it) And if you have had some traditional South American soups or dishes, a lot of them are made with livers (beef, pork, or chicken). Something else that is becoming a trend lately in some hipster restaurants is sweetbreads.

You're correct in your criticisms of net worth, but that doesn't change that the use of savings accounts to estimate accessible savings is highly questionable, especially in the past few years when rates were hovering right above checking account rates and people got out of the habit of using them (anecdotal).
We have assholes anyway with organized society and voting, especially in presidential republics. Because asshole psychopaths will do anything in their power to rise and rule over others. Just look at Erdogan. The only solution to that is direct democracy backed up by people bearing arms. Maybe Switzerland is the closest modern equivalent. With anarchism you'd probably end up with factions fighthing amongst each other and then one faction rising over them and assuming control. You just have to look at the history of medieval Japan to see that: civil war, factions fighting amongst each other, then the reunification followed by the peaceful Edo period.
I have had to write specialized lookup tables multiple times for the problem at hand. In every case doing something custom gave non trivial speedups over existing off the shelf solutions.

Yes, you can inflammatorily impugn the motives of people arguing in favor of any side. That doesn't make the concerns about free speech invalid, it just means you're willing to resort to similar propagandistic tactics.

I came across this briefly a few months ago when it was first announced, but I didn't realize just how powerful this idea is until I tried moving to TypeScript and running into its many features[1].

"Not my job" may be due to dysfunctional team dynamics, where team-members are not empowered enough to feel secure about their areas of responsibility.

Basically, a situation when the areas are guarded (via seniority, permissions, available info), yet the performance or interest is no longer there. This way the responsibilities are fuzzy on purpose. "A team-player doesn't say No... - if not you, then who?!"

Ideally, a collaboraive team should not restrict the information flow, yet that's how the hierarchy works. The Boss knows, the minions infer.

With a capsule you load the machine and feedstock comfortably on the ground, shoot it up and press the start button. Wait for it to complete, deorbit, unload. With Dragon you have about 6 tons of weight to work with, so even if the aperture is 1-2 tons, you still can process 4-5 tons of material. Fairly reasonable and achievable with the right design.

With an orbital station: first you need to build a station and keep it where it is (there are not a ton of orbital stations for a reason, they are expensive). If it has humans on it, everything becomes massively expensive. If not, well, you need future tech for onboard logistics and maintenance.

Even if you ignore the ridiculous cost of building and maintaining an orbital station, life support and other crew issues..

You still need to rendezvous, dock, transfer feedstock, produce, transfer product back to capsule, land. Even just a station that works like a printer with the feedstock seamlessly plugging in it would make everything more complicated and expensive.

Not even talking about how to fix your automated orbital platform when it breaks down.

Now in a few hundred years when we have massive orbital platforms with readily available workforce for hire and workshops for rent.. maybe then. But with today's technology you are looking at cost differences between maybe a 100 million all in with a single shot automated capsule (+ your stuff) vs. several billions for the most simple station designs + a ton of risk and technical hurdles.

Space is hard as we are fairly new to it (relatively speaking). It's all custom built as of now. Each moving peace you add increases cost exponentially. Adding humans just puts you on an entirely different chart altogether.
> ... and there's ample evidence that this is a reasonable assumption

Actually, there is. C might be a colossal footgun but reasonably experienced developers do manage to avoid those problems.

> Access control in Beaker is through that private key - you need it in order to edit the 'dat' (name for a synced folder).

You're referring to write access, which is a small subset of access control.

How do you restrict read access to a group of specific people? Encrypt the data and distribute keys to the privileged parties? How does revocation work?
I... am not sure. On one hand, it's instructive for language designers to know what turns out to be a barrier to entry. They're often unexpected things. And what's worse, users usually run into them and then quietly disappear; you almost never get the chance to see what trips newbies up in practice. It wasn't meant as a solid criticism, but more of a cathartic "yes, this language can be really counterintuitive at times." (Rust is in good company. It's the same reason Lisp is unpopular.)

On the other hand, you're absolutely right: the hypothesis is, given two equally-experienced programmers, one of them a Rust aficionado and the other a LuaJIT maniac, the LuaJIT dev will deliver reliable and maintainable software with an order of magnitude less effort. So you're right, that remains to be seen (to put it mildly).

Looking forward to seeing how close I can get to XSV's performance. It's a great benchmark.
True, but generating italics when they are not explicitly defined is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
The Davis study doesn't make any of the big claims that are getting attention here. Being academic and from a good department, it is much more measured:

"Net vehicle miles traveled (VMT) changes are unknown."

"While this data provides initial insights into the travel behavior changes associated with ridehailing, it is still limited in that it does not provide a complete picture of individual travelers’ trip generating activities, the modes they used before ride-hailing services, and the potentially new
patterns of behavior that have since emerged."

There are now apps available that help you to meditate.
Since the app not only has knowledge about the process of meditation but tools to help you stay focused on the process, they offer a far more effective way to follow the process. What I'm trying to say is extreme athleticism is only a reaction to a lack of discipline that is probably experienced in that stage of life which leads to side effects that have to corrected. While athleticism is a possible way to treat the problem, it doesn't really get to the root cause, my hypothesis anyways, and using a meditation coupled with some yoga classes under an experienced instructor is probably a better way to treat the effects of age related decay. Note that many of the famous yoga instructors such as Mr. Iyengar and Mr. Bikram who started entire schools of yoga were practitioners and teacher well into their final years. Since most modern gyms now have yoga sections, the problems of extreme athlecicism in Midlife are clearly highlighted to the observers of this new phenomenon.

Didn't evolution across the land-bridges groom us to be different at the core in some areas given the amount of time passing? Why do I immediately find certain things super gross? It feels like its within me rather than a learned behavior. Possibly these feelings are from my ancestry passing them on? One of the reasons I say this is because I tried korean "mediche", don't know actual spelling but its very tiny dried fish with their eyes still on. It sounds gross but is very tasty and strangely I was never grossed out by this as they do look like tiny fish. The same goes for sardines. Why fish with eyes on doesn't gross me out but the sight of larvae makes me want to gag?

Since we eat animals that we're more biologically similar to than insects, and assuming that parasites prefer to live in roughly similar things, I'm not sure how the parasite risk would be worse by eating insects. If they were raised in captivity, we would have just as much opportunity to pump them full of antibiotics as we do other food animals.

The other thing is that sufficiently heating food will kill any parasite present, along with many other things that would do us harm.
The krytrons I've seen are too small to conduct that much current. The Wikipedia article refers to kiloampere currents ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krytron ) but I don't see how that would work with the tube in their photograph. At long duty cycles you'd either vaporize the electrodes or fuse the wires, and at short duty cycles the parasitic inductance would be the limiting factor.

Their main claim to fame is switching speed. I imagine that GaN FETs have finally rendered them obsolete, or will soon. Measuring these things is not entirely trivial ( https://www.edn.com/design/test-and-measurement/4437360/How-... ).
