I like YAML and TOML for fro configs. Never liked JSON at all. There are some nice sugars when in comes to quotes, commas that annoy me in JSON but it seems way to complicated and filled with tons of features to learn when here are established config languages that work and have a huge future set you just do not need to use at all like YAML.

Also its looks ugly having even have roon in curlies. Have not look at everything, I am sure Google has its use for this but I think its to much for just configs. And if someone can point why they not just use YAML I would be interested.

Sure, say you configure a Linux, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD machine to provide some useful service. A "stack" as they call it these days. None of these OSes are going to have a large attack surface outside that "stack", and that is the primary liability in running an internet service. There are relatively rare occurrences like the TCP SACK bug that affected Linux and Netflix' non-default FreeBSD RACK TCP stack. Every UNIX-like written in C without formal verification is subject to incidents like that from time to time. Every other security concern is addressed in an OS-agnostic fashion with failure domains, limits of scope/networking, access controls, monitoring, and operations procedures.

Now what Linux, and to a lesser degree FreeBSD, can do is survive real world usage at scale. OpenBSD cannot. It would fall over or require magnitude more machine count to do the same workloads that people use Linux and FreeBSD to run. So all the exploit mitigation diatribe and "great defaults" and pet projects are cute but funny when you try and throw shade onto others with them. As I said, there are some kernels of truth that pertain less about security and more about overall health in FreeBSD this doc accidentally hits on, but running some hobby software like opensmtpd on openbsd isn't going to save the world from real cybersecurity issues.

Expected top 10 electric car makers in 2019 (in no particular order): Tesla, Nissan, Renault, Hyundai, and 6 Chinese brands that I don't know [1]. Where are the German carmakers?

The latest EU elections have seen an unprecedented rise of the Greens at the European level, so I expect regulation against greenhouse gases to go only one way: more taxes on gas, more regulations, more choking of the ICE car market. German carmakers need to get their act together or they will die of irrelevance.

Lots of places have truffle fries these days. That would be a cost effective way to get a sense for the flavor.

IANAL, but AFAIK no machine living in or interacting with someone in California can complete the Turing Test without breaking the law.

A simple question like 'Who should I vote for?' would cause the machine to either answer with the compliant 'Please note, I am not a human being...' or with some illegal comment about the democratic process.

Maybe that law requires an additional paragraph, stating that humans participating in a Turing Test should also identify themselves as bots ;-)

At least in countries with a functioning criminal justice system, the verdict of a facial recognition algorithm is never going to stand up in court - the defence will demand the raw footage and put it to the jury.

This technology is primarily intended for identifying suspects; an 81% false positive rate is remarkably good and extremely useful if you're scanning a train station for a terrorism suspect or a public street for a wanted fugitive. In this application, a relatively high false-positive rate is entirely tolerable (from the perspective of the justice system, at least) because checking the identity of five people to apprehend one serious criminal is a complete no-brainer.
It has to be tree population growth though - just having a lot of trees doesn't help, we need to plant them.
We are a social species. We call them "memes" and discuss the "virality" of content for multiple reasons. It's starting to feel that mental health is a lot like herd immunity and the mental health of an individual is directly related to the overall mental "vaccination state" of their community. Unfortunately compared to real world germ theory, we don't have a lot of good ideas yet for what mental "vaccinations" even are.
To answer the mystery from the first paragraph the author leaves hanging, the avocado in question was probably a B-cultivar, either Florida avocado, Fuerte avocado, or Monroe avocado.
Yes! Walking into a grocery store is one of the best things about traveling. It is one of the few genuine everyday activities that are easily available to a tourist, but is going to be quite different to what you’re used to from home, sometimes in surprising ways.

Hopefully this will not disappear entirely as brands and chains become more and more homogenized across the world. One of the saddest examples of this is how nearly every brand of ice cream in Europe became part of Unilever’s ugly “Heartbrand” in the late ‘90s. Now anywhere you go, you will just be offered the same Magnum, Solero, Cornetto. Who wants to take a vacation photo eating an ice cream you could find in your local store at home?

The irony of this whole thing being that people are constantly creating fake accounts to bid on items and not pay. I rarely sell stuff on eBay, but when I do, some 0 feedback buyer with a fake address wins my auction, then never pays, and will never get banned.

It looks like the Hyundai Kona EV has a Utility Mode that works similarly (the headlights are off, the vehicle is locked in park, and you can run the AC indefinitely.)

However, based on this thread, utility mode requires the key fob, so someone could just break a window and steal the car. I wish manufacturers other than Tesla would think about these use cases:

This... is not true. Lots of people were excited by the Prius, specifically. In the 2000s that car was so hot that it was a mark of status for Hollywood celebrities to be seen driving them.

The Leaf, yeah, nobody ever got too excited by that. But the Prius was genuinely A Thing.
There’s no way it’ll charge while driving. It might discharge more slowly while driving and charge while parked.

The question is, what do you know now? If you're starting from scratch, you should learn HTML and CSS. As for tools, again it depends on what you already know. If you know a given programming language, you can usually find a static site generator that you can build from.

There are lots of templates free, or for purchase you can use, cut up and deploy. It really all depends.

Correct, which is why the labels try to do things like this. If the labels pressure Spotify to kill the ability for independent artists to upload their own music, then they only way you get on Spotify is to sign with a record label. And if being on Spotify is important to you as an artist, then yes, you are indeed obliged to sign with a label.
I find the pandas documentation pretty good [0]. Actually, I find the documentation, official tutorials of pandas, numpy, matplotlib all pretty good. Each package has their own idiosyncrasies but I think the documentation and code examples cover them well enough.

The OReily book should not be that outdated if at all. It also covers other essential tools.

...which makes an 81% false positive rate remarkably good. You've massively whittled down your list of potential subjects and made the job of humans immeasurably easier. An 81% false positive rate would be nightmarishly awful if this system served as judge, jury and executioner, but it's incredibly useful as a means of improving the signal-to-noise ratio of surveillance data.
My take-away from that sentence was not that having 3 firewalls was the poor default, but that having none of them enabled by default was, instead.
This is interesting because the solar strip on the Nissan Leaf SL was just a do hickey, 9 watts max. It was capable of trickle charging the 12V starter which meant less draw for charging the 12V coming from the traction battery. Not nothing but really not much. I don't think it even rounded up to a mile of range.

Their data supposedly comes from "Sverdrup, H. U., Koca, D. & Schlyter, P. BioPhys. Econ. Res. Qual.2, 8 (2017)" Vague reference, no title.

This seems to be "BioPhysical Economics and Resource Quality", which is a Springer publication. Here's the actual article, "A Simple System Dynamics Model for the Global Production Rate of Sand, Gravel, Crushed Rock and Stone, Market Prices and Long-Term Supply Embedded into the WORLD6 Model", by Harald U. Sverdrup and others.[1] It's not even paywalled. Some quotes:

"The resources of sand and gravel are estimated at 12 trillion ton each, another 125 trillion tons of rock is suitable for crushing to sand and gravel and at least 42 trillion ton of quality stone is available for production of cut stone."

"Sand, gravel and stone materials use in construction amounts to about 47–59 billion tons per year"

"Sand and gravel show plateau behaviour and reach their maximum production rate in 2060–2070. The reason for the slight peak towards a plateau behaviour is partly driven by an expected population decline and increasing prices for sand and gravel, limiting demand. Assuming business-as-usual conditions rates remain at that level for centuries."

So we have another 1000-2000 years of sand left? Did anyone read the references?

Incidentally, if you are in Silicon Valley and need base rock, there's a place on Seaport Boulevard in Redwood City where you can get free concrete, ground into gravel-sized chunks. They charge for concrete disposal; the product is free.

lol couldn't possibly be worse advice in this thread. 100% do not listen to this and NEVER refund the transfer
For production I agree 100% with you, to the point I think it's just sloppy to leave unused variables and imports hanging around.

But during development that's just a needless obstacle. I may comment large blocks of code and I don't want to scan each import to make sure they are no longer used.

Java is compiled to Java byte code. It cannot be interpreted in its source form. There's nothing preventing it to be, but as far as I know, there are no interpreters for it. Python on the other hand can be interpreted from source, and that's the default behavior, making Python an interpreted language.

This makes Java a compiled language, even though it is compiled to machine code for a machine that doesn't exist. Java Byte Code is an assembly language, and in fact, Sun had at one point machines that were natively using Java Byte Code instruction sets.

Now Java Byte Code is trickier. You could consider it to be interpreted or compiled or both. It is fair to say that in general it is interpreted, but it is just as fair to say it is in general compiled.

What matters most though is to understand that modern JVMs make use of a JIT compiler and optional AOT compilers.

In the latter mode, you can compile Java Byte Code to native machine executables ahead of time or pre-runtime and no JVM beyond that point is required. So you can distribute the app as a self-contained executable. In most cases though, this will be less performant in the average and peak performance, but it will speed up the worst case, such as start time.

In the former mode, the JVM will analyze runtime behavior and based on the frequency of use of various code paths, it will either compile the code to native machine code (cache the compiled code), and then run the freshly compiled code block, or it will choose to interpret the byte code directly. This allows aggressive optimization from information which is only available or easily available at runtime when performing compilation.
That's not really the case. It was a widely held belief or myth that the British isles were covered in dense forest. The coverage was at most about 60% and also that humans have always been intervening in the landscape and they arrived very soon after the glaciers retreated up north. Most of the woodlands were managed or occupied and there were not many places which didn't see the human touch (in Britain) compared with other places in the world.

In part the myth of the virgin untouched forest comes from colonial views of natives existing in harmony or as part of nature and not really human. Even in the US, Native Americans have been managing the "wilderness" for thousands of years before the US Forest Service.
The Tesla broke usual electric car strategy by making something hot not utterly lame and stodgy[1]. Which is what all electric cars were until then. The economics of that actually worked.

Yes, run https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale on operating systems with hilarious grandstanders like OpenBSD and Illumos, then run it on Linux and compare the results. Run a highly parallel make on a modern server and tell me which OS remains usable for other work. OpenBSD runs acceptably on 2-4 core laptops with HT disabled because a desktop workload doesn't typically invoke a lot of the kernel implementation during steady state, but you can do it there with a moderate disk and network load. That said, syscalls are more expensive in OpenBSD than contemporary operating systems so even as a uniprocessor OS it is funny.

>BMW also got fined and caught up in doing the same emissions scandal :

That seems quite different from what VW did. VW made it so emissions were good during testing but bad during regular driving. That article says BMW (and others) colluded to make emissions bad all the time. When emissions are bad all the time, the testers are not being fooled about how the emissions actually look.
I'm not in a position to do much traveling right now, but I get my kicks visiting small foreign markets here in the United States. Some things you can't get anywhere else, and it's always fun to see what things are considered Staples for different cultures. For example, I have found that the Russian markets have the best pickles and bread, and the Vietnamese markets have an awesome deli and really good produce, and there's a Caribbean market near my house that carries Ting, which is my favorite grapefruit soda.

Fukishima unit 1 had an Isolation Condenser, which is the sort of passive safety system you're talking about. It required no electricity, merely that some valves be open. Supposedly after the earthquake and before the tsunami, the operators opted to close at least one of those valves for reasons that are a little hazy, but might have had something to do with not cooling the reactor too fast. After the tsunami, they couldn't electrically control the valves, and for some reason there was ambiguity about the state of the valves, and no one went to physically check them and open them until it was too late and the fuel had melted.
