It takes about 45 minutes to get from downtown Paris to CDG or Orly airport though, and half an hour to get from the airport in Marseille to the city center, so by the time you've figured in getting to the airport 1.5 hours before your flight, the total trip time is more like 4 hours.

For comparison, the fastest train takes 3:15.
> As a senior Java / CPP developer

This makes me cringe. A "senior" engineer is defined by whatever role a company slots you in. This is compounded by adding programming languages to the mix.

> I really wish I had done more embedded and assembly at school. I can't understand it or appreciate it.

There is no hardware involved here, per-se. What is there is the 6502 instruction set, plus binary floating point calculations. But the fact it is on the 6502 is only interesting because of the constraints.

If you are interested, pick up some tutorials on x86 assembly (or ARM, or whatever you have emulators or real hardware available) and go to town. Actually creating full programs(with syscalls) is a bit involved, but a small ASM function inside C++ (since you mentioned C++) should be perfectly doable (example: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution/blob/master/Source... – you'll notice the Diablo game was not an embedded system either)

It's great that there are some new antibiotics, but I don't get this claim that "big pharma" won't develop new cures and only manages chronic conditions.

First, it's factually false. There are now multiple Hepatitis C cures for a formerly chronic (and eventually fatal) disease, let alone all the other chronic conditions that pharmaceutical companies have cured or diminished. And "big pharma" companies have gotten to the same stage as these teams with antibiotics.

Second, it doesn't even make sense unless you treat "big pharma" as a single monolithic entity. In reality, it's many many companies, including startup pharmaceutical companies, all competing against each other. I don't think of bacterial infections generally as chronic conditions in the first place, but if one company makes money on a drug that manages some chronic bacterial infection, there's no reason that another company would be worried about taking away profits from the first company.

How to Build Minesweeper with JavaScript
The "Linux" kernel even in something like LineageOS is heavily forked and in practically every case relies on userspace binary blobs for critically-important functionality. It's a far cry from what you can run on PC's, although postmarketOS is moving towards that goal. BTW it's not like Android itself is to blame for this, since other varieties of embedded Linux (by and large) are the same deal; the buck stops with SoC- and embedded-hardware manufacturers.

I've never bought into that reasoning on the automotive side. Selling "one million of this device," as you say, will bring in $20 billion. So yes, they can afford $20K to do the job right.

Also, SMT resistors at that quantity level are more like 1/10 of a cent, not 2 cents, and the PnP machine is running anyway. In fact you often end up using more resistors than strictly necessary, just because the machine holds a limited number of reels and it's cheaper to use more of the same part to arrive at a desired value than to add a new line item.

Things should be as cheap as possible, but no cheaper. Optimizing the cost of individual resistors is almost always a classic example of measuring the wrong thing. We should strive to avoid making excuses for doing that.
For your keyboard problems, just get it repaired. It's free under a four-year warranty, and it usually only takes one day: Just drop it off at an Apple store, and pick it back up the next day.

(Also, if you're a vim user, you should really remap Caps Lock to Esc. There's a pane in System Preferences for it, and it should be done whether or not you have a touch bar.)
The problem with this is that it’s trying to imply that these changes happen, and mere happenstance says climate change explains them.

Rather than saying: climate change predicts increased extremes of all weather patterns, increased average global temperature, and increased melting of the polar ice caps. These predictions can be made robustly using fairly basic assumptions. So yeah, we can say that we will keep getting these records, and they will occur more frequently, because of human driven climate change.

To my knowledge few if any jurisdictions have as expansive a concept of free speech as the United States. From the standpoint of US law, other legal systems could be said to not have freedom of speech.

Therefore the United States libel definition is most directly relevant to the overall point here.
We haven't yet collected evidence that says terrestrial life originating on Earth is impossible or even unlikely, nor has anyone produced an alternative explanation that doesn't involve introducing additional external factors. It may indeed turn out to be incorrect (although I wouldn't be on it), but it's in no way comparable to geocentrism which simply couldn't be reconciled with experimental observation.
Filestore is basically a single google-managed instance running NFS. It's much less sophisticated and resilient than EFS, but also can be much faster since it doesn't have the overhead of a distributed system. Don't try running something that touches lots of files like mercurial on EFS, trust me...

The article says Elastifile (which I know nothing about) will become part of filestore.
Thanks!

One fly in the ointment is that you didn't share anything about the data, especially its encoding and what sort of multilingual text it contained, nor the code for the other proglangs.

One upshot is that I'm now wondering if you're comparing apples with oranges.

P6 is optimized for Unicode, making handling of Unicode simple, with O(1) character (grapheme) indexing.

For example, in P6 regex syntax, << and \w, which are related to the concept "word character", refer to graphemes ("what a user thinks of as a character") whose base codepoint has the "word" property. And \w 15 refers to 15 of these graphemes.

In contrast \w in P5 regex syntax, by default, refers to a codepoint with the "word" property, not a grapheme. And I'm not sure what support Ruby has for graphemes.

So I'm wondering if your log text was utf8, and if so, if you took the codepoint/grapheme distinction into account.
Since neutrons don't have an electric charge, they are hard to deflect. Neutrons are really only deflected by head on collisions with an atomic nucleus whereas charged particles are deflected by a near miss due to the electromagnetic force.

Shielding from neutron radiation usually involves thick and heavy layers of lead.

Back when archiving was getting pretty slow / iffy my plan, which I never put in place, was to simply buy another archiving account every month until the weight of either money or guilt simply overcame whatever obstacle was keeping it from working.

Android has something similar (Nearby Notifications), which AFAIK uses BLE beacons (Eddystone). I saw one once at a nearby shopping mall, when I turned on Bluetooth just to see what's there (I normally keep Bluetooth disabled).

It was a false equivalence, and deserves to be treated as such.
No; the core goal of side-channel-free algorithms (of which constant time algorithms are a subset) is that the instructions executed by the CPU should not depend on secret data.

Spinning until a fixed time is reached could conceivably leak information if another thread can time math-unit bandwidth; it would be able to distinguish the spinwait from bona-fide mathematical computation.

However, no (known) method accessible to code running on the machine can distinguish between an adder unit summing zeroes versus key data.
What's your point? Most kids back then would have cried and begged for their comics back, or for the television to be switched back on.

There is ancient methane in those places. But something on Mars is producing methane.

I continue to love Pinboard. I run a linkblog through it; it's not so much bookmarks for me as a small link-focussed blog. The HTML view (Pinboard's own) is ugly, but it works great in an RSS reader or as a Twitter / Mastodon account fed from the RSS.

It's so nice to have a simple, reliable service. I got a little cranky when the various Pinboard APIs started suffering some scaling problems, I think during the hiatus Maciej mentions as he was busy trying to save America. That's OK, we survived, although jury is still out on whether America will.

When I first read this I interpreted it as possibly having something to do with enabling offensive cyber operations (maybe?), it just sounded too weird to be anything else.

One thing I did notice during the ABC raid was how the police ignored general digital forensic practices and simply created an archive on the target drive (overwriting any data previously there), dragged and dropped what they wanted into it, then zipped it up and left (this was according to one ABC employees twitter feed while they were in the office as it was happening).

Right, because SS isn't a retirement account, it's a "you get disabled and broke" insurance policy.

When I was studying engineering in the early 2000's my degree was structured such that in the first year all the engineering students (regardless of whether they intended on majoring in Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical etc) all took a common set of courses.

This included classes such as:
Calculus, Linear Algebra, Physics, Chemistry etc.

There were two required CS courses (one in the first semester of first year and one in the second) The first semester course was "Intro to programming and algorithms" which began by assuming no one had any prior programming experience and started with the very basics "This is a variable", "This is a function" "This is a conditional statement", "This is a loop" that sort of thing. Eventually it covered algorithms like quicksort, bubblesort etc and really helped get you into the mindset of "This is how you use programming to solve a problem" For example I remember writing code to solve simultaneous equations (i.e Linear Programming), finding line of best fit through a series of discrete points things like that.

In the second semester the required class was "Intro to software engineering" I remember the course covering things like Object oriented programming - classes/inheritance public/private members and all that stuff, this was a component on unit testing. There was also an essay component to the course I can remember having to write an essay about the Ariane 5 explosion. I really didn't enjoy this course and the impression I got was not a lot of my friends did either.

I can understand the intent of making us sit through the course but in some ways I think it did more harm then good pretty much everyone came out of that class at the end loathing "object oriented" programming. At the time it was kind of a struggle to see the relevance behind the topics covered and even now with 15 years of engineering experience working in manufacturing what we learnt in that classroom is very divorced from what goes on in the real world. When I write code I am, typically speaking, not writing complex software that has multiple reusable components that talk to each other most of the code I write is trying to solve some type of problem. When I write code I'm usually thinking in terms of mathematics and problem solving rather than classes + objects and unit tests, my code tends to be a lot more in the style that was taught in the algorithms course rather than in the software engineering course I suspect quite a lot of "research code" would be similar.

In the weather/climate realm, effects of increasing CO2, CH4, etc arguably dominate. Next important, I think, are changes in land use. Such as heat island effects of cities. Or deforestation reducing local to regional rainfall.

So yeah. In areas that are getting warmer, such as the Arctic, new records will be about high temperatures and less sea ice cover. In areas that are getting drier, it'll be about drought. And in areas that are getting wetter, it'll be about flooding.
This reminds me of people who say that we can free North Koreans by (physically) airdropping tapes and books on Pyongyang - surely the only reason they support their government is because they're heavily censored, once they see the truth they'll rise up in arms!

It's a narrative that's somewhat condescending. It makes it seem like all these people are just being held hostage by their governments. The reality is that people in China or North Korea are like people everywhere else -- either they're deeply uninterested in politics, or they are, in which case they probably have a more sophisticated view of these issues than assumed. Some information freely available via VPN isn't going to change anyone's mind.

keep in mind, DiffEq is responding to a post that mentions people making six figures who are struggling to keep their homes.

there are certainly a lot of people out there who would be feeling the squeeze anywhere, but if you're making six figures and you're in danger of losing your home, you are probably doing something wrong. your house is too big, you live in the wrong place, or both.
