Sure, use whatever is more productive on the server-side, although in my experience the strong-typing and full classes and namespacing make it much easier than JS.

I don't get the comparison on the client-side with webassembly though. This is an entire UI framework, and hasn't been fully designed and optimized yet, as stated. It's no different than using React and neither would be good options if optimizing for low-bandwidth remote areas.

I've used EF since it was first released, and we haven't encountered any major issues. We migrated from nhibernate a long time ago and fallback to Dapper occasionally for complex SQL and performance. What do use instead? Or is the argument to not use ORMs at all?

BTW at least saccharine and ace-k are already known to be carcinogenic AFAIK

It would appear that the US FDA and European FSA disagree with you on that subject.

Concerning saccharin:

In a December 14, 2010 release, the EPA stated that saccharin is no longer considered a potential hazard to human health

Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharin

Concerning Acesulfame potassium

Critics say acesulfame potassium has not been studied adequately and may be carcinogenic, although these claims have been dismissed by the European Food Safety Authority and FDA

Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acesulfame_potassium

Plus a report that lactobacillus concentration may actually be enhanced by artificial sweeteners:

In vitro analyses of Lactobacillus 4228 growth characteristics showed that presence of NHDC significantly reduces the lag phase of growth and enhances expression of specific sugar transporters, independently of NHDC metabolism. This study suggests that sensing of NHDC by a bacterial plasma membrane receptor underlies sweetener-induced growth of a health promoting gut bacterium.

Bacterial sensing underlies artificial sweetener-induced growth of gut Lactobacillus

Plus one of the last hold-outs to declassification of saccharin as carcinogenic was Health Canada which based the original prohibition on University of Nebraska studies but later concluded:

Such sodium salts, the council said, “produce tumours only when administered at high doses and only in rats,” thus “the mechanism by which the rats develop cancer is not present in humans.”

This reminds me of that old story about the Xerox copy machines that the Soviet Union bought.

Where each unit was planted with a image recorder. And for years, the American spy agencies had a great laugh, that they were able to intercept all the documents that the Russians made a copy of.

Back then, this was an off-network infiltration. Where the copied images, were retrieved during regular servicing intervals by a Xerox technician.

Kubernetes is just one of many development ecosystem tools that solve real problems and, once you know them, make your life easier. The arguments in this article can apply to any development tool or practice.

Why separate your code into multiple files? Why write tests? Why use a code linter? Why use virtual environments? Why write a Makefile?

If you're working on a small personal project, or you're a newer developer learning the ropes, or the project is temporary, not important, doesn't need to scale, etc. then it's simply a matter of personal choice. It doesn't make sense to get bogged down learning a lot of tools and processes if there's no compelling business need and you're just trying to get the job done.

If you already know how to use these tools, though, they usually make your life a whole lot easier. I learn how to use complex systems in my career, where they're necessary and helpful. I apply these same tools and practices on my personal projects now, because once you know how to use something like Kubernetes, there's little cost to it and many of the benefits still apply.

>So society's computer uses 5 percent and our own, evolved over millions of years, uses up to 20.

This comparison doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It's not even comparing apples to oranges, it's comparing apples to the concept of taste.

Furthermore these percentages don't really tell you much regarding efficiency, I'm sure there are less developed societies where computers count for less than 5% of all energy consumption, doesn't mean that their computers are more efficient.

> The naive approach would be to not connect to the dedicated NIC that's indicated on the back and in the instruction manual, but if you do this it masquerades onto the main NIC

cool, thanks for that info.

> just to write off the hardware

maybe you could just standup the mgmt network but blackhole route it at each switch port. The mgmt NIC thinks it's working properly but it can't talk to anyone nor can anyone talk to it.

at the expense of a dedicated switch.
comparing these two percentages seems very esoteric. Heat dissipated by a cpu (just a function of thermodynamic inefficiency) vs fraction of electricity used by society to use computers (a function of a billion human things like economical ease of access to computers, quantity of computing needed for entertainment, availability of resources to build computers)

From the space people I talk to, many in the very recent past harbored this notion that SpaceX was irresponsible with their early move-fast methods. However, as predicted, that all slowed down to a similarly glacial pace once they became entrenched in the red tape machine. Parity in that reguard is rapidly approaching.

And a nitpick, NASA was the pioneer, and pushed hard during the cold war to develop ICBM tech, the failure rate then was more in line with the goals. As its just minor economic and exploration roles now, with less polarizing military applications, we see less frantic push. I.e. killing a few people to prevent ww3 > next internet sat/artists on mars/astroid mining. Its not a fair comparison.
Hacker News was like that before 2016 too.
The fact that they list 94.4% also gives up a hint. They iterated a lot. To get numbers that precise you need to submit a tremendous number of articles.

Given the immense size of our simulation and our relatively small presence in it, it could be that the simulators had no expectations of it becoming self-aware. It would seem that they simply picked some fundamental parameters (physics) and started it.

"can someone walk me through in practical terms how such a chip might subvert the /bin/login binary?"

1. Please, random internet stranger, can you...

2. Make a nice bloggy article with pretty pictures...

3. That includes practical handy advice...

4. How, once I've compromised the system at the BMC...

5. To write an exploit for the linux kernel without getting caught. Preferrably one that silently patches /bin/login.

Yeah, if you know how to do that, you're not posting it on the internet. You're on anonymous message boards asking for jobs from one side or the other.

There would be no forum posting meatbags if not for evolution and its enormous resource usage. While I agree that nature did not 'intend' to make humans from the beginning, we, as humans, can't just write it off. Those bacteria are an important step in our cellular apparatus, and people are comparing computers to brains (brain cells at work), here.

And as long as we can't get our energy without killing other living organisms, the energy brain uses can't be compared to the energy computers use. It's physically the same, but morally not. Of course you could say computers are here because humans have killed living organisms to feed themselves, so computers partake into that, but we'd end in a loop and never reach any conclusion.

Isn't it odd that you can murder someone, do 20 years, and have paid your debt to society, while a sex offense follows you around for the rest of your life. The punishment does not fit the crime in some cases.
My interactions with police in emergencies have generally been good. When I am looking for a police officer, it’s great to find one. I noticed that the same officers will act differently to various people depending on the situation and how they perceive (stereotype) that person or the company they keep. The issue with them looking for evidence of a crime or trying to trap you with your own seemingly innocent words is true. Basically some officers are very suspicious all the time. It can be opportunistic, like to confiscate property and arrest someone for marijuana when they arrive for something else - or rooted in a genuine desire to solve crime, like finding someone held captive when they show up for something else.

Interactions with police in the US depend on a lot of different things. Police officers are individuals, and the majority of my contacts with the majority of them have been satisfactory and what one would expect. The United States is a far larger than Scandinavia in every way and has more cultural variation, even within single ethnic groups. Police in New Mexico are fairly different to Chicago, or Texas. For that matter you’d probably very meet different officers with different attitudes in rural Oregon vs Portland.

I had a lot of negative interactions with police involving cannabis when I was young. That has largely faded with the relaxation of cannabis policies in the US, though laws and attitudes vary widely depending on your region or state. I refuse to even drive through states like Utah, which as one of the strictest states in the US borders Colorado, one of the most relaxed cannabis-wise.

I recently purchased a vehicle and went traveling, so I had an out of state temp license plate in various states. I was stopped by police 3 times in 2 weeks, including twice well after midnight. The main interest they had was whether I had been drinking. This fulfills a serious public safety role, but with the low levels set legally for blood alcohol content, could have put me in serious legal jeopardy when I was not truly impaired. A 3 am traffic stop could go wrong in many other ways, and an officers are generally on edge at night. The risk and severity of being arrested, searched or physically mistreated is magnified by factors like being a minority for that area, having a criminal record, apparent low income or social class (old or beat up car, shoddy clothes), or exhibiting something that personally offends an officer like the wrong sports or political sticker. I would actually drive a car with a lot more personality if I didn’t have to worry about this. Some people I know with Grateful Dead type stickers have been seemingly profiled by police for it.

It's common sense. I did say barring accidents and having an actual life. The below is conservative.

1. Pick practical degree, because you are poor and anything else is luxury.

2. Work in college, because you are poor. End up with 30k of debt because you are dumn and didn't get a scholarship.

3. Make 40k a year. (22% fed, let's say 4% state), 30k net. -10k rent, -10k expenses, 10k left.

4. Pay off college by 25.

5. Save up 50k by 30.

6. Masters degree by 32 with no debt.

7. Increase income to 100k by 45.

8. Congrats middle class pleb. (Which I am, though this isn't my story)

I have similar question too. The initial Capital investment for Storage and Trucks along with Ordering and Distribution Software for a Food Distribution business requires up to $2M+ USD Capital. ( It is consider a large sum in Hong Kong, which has a slightly smaller TAM than say US or China ) While I can guarantee we reach $1M USD monthly revenue within the first 12 months, I have yet to find anyone interested in funding.

If anyone could give any tips or help send me a email.

The fix has two steps:

1) Bring in co-founders whom raised $100m+ from VCs in companies they were in before. Also, one of those companies needed to have had an exit where it was very profitable for those VCs. Getting these co-founders is hard, but it is your fix. One of them needs to have been the CEO of the former successful exit.

2) Use $500k in capital to build the pre-launch version. Be hyper-capital efficient building the tech, for demos to investors. Bring the product working to investors along with those co-founders as part of the team.

Make sure those co-founders confirm that they think they can raise the capital in this business model.
I don't see how you're reading this headline as "alarmist". It's a valid question worth exploring.
You could be right. But stuffing megabytes of a full copy of the BMC flash image in such a chip may be overkill. You could just as easily man-in-the-middle bytes sent by the legit flash over the SPI DO line...
The US has never denied that it spies on other countries’ citizens and state apparatus. Every nation does.

The only controversy has been about whether the US intelligence community spies on US citizens without warrants, which used to be considered out of bounds, but is now awash in murkiness.
This is a theme in that all major compiled languages will have an ability to publish to wasm as WebAssembly is a standard that allows this and we'll see more frameworks like this coming up for various ones. It will be nice for all the specific language camps and allow interoperability as well between them. Big win in general whatever you think of .NET but that's not the big picture.
> Is it actually possible to simulate the entire universe?

In quantum mechanics there is something called collapse of wave function, which takes place when observer is making an observation on certain object. When there is no observer state goes into superposition which means it is one and zero at same time. So basically this means that object can exist and doesn't exist at same time.

That's why Einstein said he likes to think that moon exist even if no one is watching.

This looks similar to mechanism we use in rendering games today, you only load and render the view that players is looking at and the stage/level that player is in. Of course it's a lot more simplified in case of games. You can save resources using those methods while making huge scale simulations.
Calories and can be converted to Joules. The amount of energy to run a computer (a human computer or a physical one) is interesting to me personally, as is comparing the amount of extra calories (and thus, extra emissions) it costs me to ride my bike 20 miles to work vs. driving a gasoline car.
As others have mentioned, this is not uncommon at all, it's called software escrow.

For clients that need/want/demand this you can pass the cost onto them.

On your side, you do the work once in your build/CI to upload/FTP source and artifacts to the escrow agent and you're done.

Fat is slept on macronutrient because of the misguided idea that increased fat = increased cholesterol in arteries. Vitamin K2 is an important vitamin that isn't metabolized well from foods containing K1 (vegetables). Animal sources and natto (fermented soy beans) are the best sources of it. It has been shown to help with heart disease, cancer and bone health.

The interesting thing with animal protein is that no study has shown a dose dependent increase in cancer when consuming more of it. Chronic inflammation from gluten, processed foods, pesticides, refined carbs, and refined sugars are the biggest culprits in dietary endorsed cancer.
>What IS different however, is that the odds of anyone actually successfully mounting a legal challenge to such an officer afterwards are WAY higher in the US. There's more procedures, less immunity, and generally the system is much more aware of the fact that it makes mistakes in the US.

That is a truly extraordinary claim. The idea that "law enforcement gets away with everything" is a true meme (not the funny, internet kind), the default expectation in the US among its inhabitants, a stereotype that foreigners have of us, and unfortunately our reality. This is a fact that law enforcement officials both recognize and abuse. I want to say that the template of "cop does [horrible thing] while 3 independent sources record it, and [is given paid vacation/was relocated/had his case dismissed by the DA]" is so pervasive that you might be able to get a matching news story like that every week here. And god help anyone who did not have a recording of their encounter.

At risk of sounding like a broken record, I want to point out that you don't need fancy hardware to experiment with this sort of thing. Simple GSR (galvanic skin response) sensors and a bit of self-hypnosis are enough to get some very interesting effects and communication.

(Also, you have fancy hardware: your eyes and face, ears and voice, etc. It's easy to lose sight of the fact that still today the most sophisticated hardware in the room is the human nervous system. At least for a few more years, eh?)

Personally, as somebody who is building a small Kubernetes cluster right now at home just for the fun of it: I think using Kubernetes for small projects is mostly a bad idea. So I appreciate the author warning people so they don't get misled by all the (justified) buzz around it.

For your average developer who just wants to get something running on a port, Kubernetes introduces two barriers: containerization and Kubernetes itself. These are non-trivial things to learn, especially if you don't have an ops background, and both of them add substantial debugging overhead. And again for that developer, they provide very, very small gains.

I think the calculus changes if that developer starts to run multiple services on multiple servers, wants to keep doing that for years, and needs high uptime. I have a bunch of personal services I run in VMs with Chef, and I'm excited to convert that over to Kubernetes, as it will make future OS upgrades and other maintenance easier. But my old setup ran for something like 6 years and it was just fine. For hobbyists whose hobbies don't include playing with cluster-scale ops tooling, I think it's perfectly fine to ignore Kubernetes. It's the new hotness, but it doesn't provide much value for them yet. They can wait a few years; by then the tooling will surely have improved for low-end installs.

But those functions only worked on arrays or maybe "array-likes" if you're lucky. Notably, they do not work on lazy enumerables, like LINQ does. And then linq goes farther, and allows them to used on queryable data sources that aren't even enumerable.
