I think death isn't bad when you think about infinity. The universe can repeat the same occurrences needed for what made our life and where the exact same conditions happen again for having the actions & thoughts we already lived. Eternal reoccurrence is the name. Theoretical physics even has it make more sense if the universe continuously expands & retracts repetitively. Thus I would rather just die while in tremendous pain from an illness and where it would appear instant for my conscious to appear again once the forces of the universe repeat the needed conditions.
I agree with you general point. But business travelers also take air on most routes because it’s a lot faster.

I could agree with you, but why call this culture "patriarchal"? I'd call it "animalistic" if anything. "Patriarchal" involves male/female duality and ascribes certain features to men and women that they might not currently be comfortable having. If someone is dominating, let's just call this person "dominating", not "having male features." If we go down the rabbit hole of patriarchy, in the end sooner or later someone starts accusing men for all evil, and this is one of the greatest misunderstandings of our age.
How is this even a question? One persons data is useless. They don’t care what you’re watching specifically, they care what everybody in a region is watching. They have to track individuals to get the profile data to categorize them in the first place.

This is a horrible article. I don't think the reporter was at the conference. I was on Thursday. There was one talk with this complaint (speaker mentioned in the article) and everything else was just discussing open source business in pragmatic ways without lamenting cloud provider behavior.
I'm in a company that didn't. Basically we have an aggressive schedule and not enough candidates, because nobody wants to join a startup. A few bad eggs slip through the filter, but probation contracts make them easy to root out. I'm not sure why more companies don't just adopt a 'hire fast, fire fast' system.

Lots of programmers in the industry are already good enough anyway. I've seen programmers who can't reverse a linked list who can still output decent code. Similarly you have some extremely technically skilled ones who can't build a feature in reasonable time.
MySQL: Wait a sec, what do I use for this table, InnoDB or MyISAM? What are the tradeoffs again? Oh, right, do I want ACID transactions or fulltext search? Man, this tradeoff sucks.

PostgreSQL: Wait a sec, which schema (namespace) should I put this table in? Man, it's nice to have namespaces within a DB.

You throw in SQL, provide a simple mapper, done. IMHO it's far superior to ORMs when your database is or may become complicated.
> If QUIC is used, the TCP/TLS/HTTP2 stack is replaced to UDP/QUIC stack.

Not really. QUIC only covers transport and multiplexing, not the application protocol. E.g. http headers or h2's framing are not included. QUIC is closer to SCTP.

Thus you end up with the following stack

UDP/QUIC/HTTP3

That's not what the article says. In the article, US is second biggest co2 producer. if US had 0 emissions, that would make a big difference! Obviously, if China had 0 emissions, it would make a bigger difference, but India is 4th in this list, so shifting blame to China and India seems wrong and seeing their emissions and say "US having zero emissions wouldn't make a difference" seems defeatist.

Also, don't think this is a "they do, so I can also do" but rather what can we/you do to improve whatever would help.

> The problem is that many ideas for curbing climate change will destroy the economy

Seems if your economy is depending on screwing the planet, probably it would be best for everyone if it did get destroyed. On one hand: working economy / broken planet and on the other hand: broken economy / working planet. I sure know what I would prefer.
Do you actually believe that Verizon would stop carrying iPhones if they couldn’t lock them? I don’t believe this for a second.

It’s kind of like arguing that that Verizon would only sell phones preloaded with Verizon crapware. This was partially true, but Apple stood up to them and everyone else quite successfully.
Its very good this topic is coming up. Fortune 100 companies pay a lot of money for these services, a classic example is Azure Search, which is using ElasticSearch.

> Well, for once we're not following them to the middle east, so that's a plus.

Could these be related? Just one month ago this study [1] came out pointing to the fact that in the future Australia may not be 100% sure it can rely on the US for defense. In particular, any further Middle East- related strains on the US war machine may result in a reduction of the US's capability and appetite to wage war in the Pacific. Given that, Australia needs to plan for the eventuality of building a missile force. The Moon and Mars things may just be an excuse for that.

Sure, if it is simple enough or your plans are simple enough. Otherwise, most folks at least use paper because actual terrorist plans are complicated with lots of bits.
For very simple usage, you won't see a lot of difference, but I would go with postgres. It has a lot of features that MySql doesn't, and isn't any harder to set up and use.

Point 2: as long as you also write software to deal with it, I guess so. Postgres has a JSON type. This question makes me want to ask what you are trying to accomplish.

Point 3: Yes, probably, and for all I know there's something out there to do it for you. I'm assuming basic usage; there is undoubtedly some weird corner of xmi that makes it a Turing-complete language or something equally ill-advised. So writing a schema converter for very basic stuff is probably quite easy, but really filling in all the junk is possibly less so.

4 appears to be a repeat of 2.

make the circus.

It's the ancient old [1] way of controlling the enemy land (and today the masses) by keeping people fed, distracted then fueling fights among small groups so that they wouldn't feel the need to unite against the oppressor.

[1] Divide et impera (divide and conquer) and panem et circenses (bread and circus) phrases were coined thousands of years ago.
Me too. Although the thing is it probably made sense at the time. Also, it's far from guaranteed that Yahoo would have made a success of Google, or Blockbuster of Netflix, so whilst there can be an entertaining schadenfreude to stories like this it's not something you can take too seriously.

Not true. If you want to see that idea of economic policy fail, look at Turkey under Erdogan:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_currency_and_debt_cris...

The reason that Erdogan couldn't pull off this con for as long as the US is that he can't print Dollars or Euros. However, even those "reserve currencies" eventually can lose investor faith. You're just speculating that they never will.
No one has been using MyISAM for the last 10 years.

He wasn’t a scientist he was a low level technician.

He didn’t even finish high school completely (no diploma), and dropped out of his engineering course at uni.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordechai_Vanunu

While he did revealed some information a lot of the technical details he talked about during his early interviews made absolutely no sense.

He was imprisoned on the basis of revealing classified information and taking photographs of a sensitive site.

Whether Israel has actual assembled weapons or not, they are a breakout state they have 2 reactors one at Dimona one at Soreq and even if in the 60’s and 70’s they didn’t had the knowledge to build nukes considering they took in nearly 2M Russian Jews and their family members they probably could’ve gained that capability from that immigration since the late 80’s to early 90’s.

Israel can also potentially posses a nuclear Triad however for Israel nukes are only really useful as a deterrent against a conventional threat as due to their size MAD will not work for them against any of their possible opponents in the region.

MAD also requires that everyone in the equation will be sane and held accountable, if there is an Islamist coup in say Pakistan or if a regional theocratic regime gets nukes it’s not clear how MAD would work even if the geographical and population sizes weren’t that different.

If you’re a passenger rail fan, I’d highly recommend reading Randal O’Toole’s book “Romance of the Rails: Why The Passenger Trains We Love Are Not The Transportation We Need”[1]. The author is a passenger rail super-fan, but does an excellent job detailing the extremely high costs that make it difficult for passenger rail to compete with other transportation options, and explaining the history of how we got to the current state. Even if you’re a skeptic of his thesis, I think you’ll enjoy the details of the book.

The hardware is the difficult part. Decoding is actually quite easy once you can record neural activity. Apply your favorite Kalman filter, dimensionality reduction algorithm, or increasingly some flavor of neural network.
I would also recommend Postgres for the features alone.
Like the full text search.

One reason not mentioned often is the vast amount of plugins which can do lots of useful things.

Like PostGis or TimescaleDb which all work really well.
It's a wonder how CIA and other 3 lettered agencies are allowed to act. Almost as sovereign states acting completly independent from the public and its scrutiny.

The core is simple, small, cheap or even free, requires few resources, has plenty of tool support, is well-understood and well-documented, and is easy to debug and deploy. The 8051 is perfectly sufficient for many simple embedded applications that only require an 8-bit micro.

It's the instruction set that has been retained, not the silicon design. The variants these days are more power-efficient and powerful in terms of MIPS and peripherals, and have indeed benefited from years of R&D.

I don't know if it came from a dream or what, but I've had this scene in my mind where you're looking at the screen on a machine, and in the reflection of that screen you can see doctors milling around a subject on a table. In unison they all turn their heads to the screen and you see words and shit flicker on it, faster and faster until it's evident that a consciousness is booting up in the machine. A few seconds later you hear a voice coming from the machine like someone waking up from being knocked out. It's the person on the table and the docs are talking to him. The guy slowly gets his bearings and starts celebrating that it worked and he's saying how amazing it is and he feels like his mind is infinite.

Then as the scene starts to go dark you hear a meek voice from the table rise over the din and say 'hey Doc, i don't think it worked'.
InnoDB got fulltext search support nearly 7 years ago if I remember correctly...
GE Walking Truck (1969)
Germany and Denmark subsidizes way more as you can see on those prices as they are a direct reflection of the fact that it's more expensive to use wind and solar.

Furthermore you keep ignoring that wind and solar can't provide without coal, oil, gas or nuclear, the reverse is not true.

And thus if you want to compare the cost of nuclear with the cost of wind or solar you of course need to factor in the cost of the backup energy needed which among others include nuclear!

So no wind and solar are still much more expensive and doesn't provide stable energy.
A colleague was big on Bitcoin in mid-late 2009. I declared it to be stupid and didn't bother. By the time I realized that was a mistake it was too late, the days of normal people mining coins was long gone.

I've convinced myself that I'd have lost my wallet long before it became valuable anyways. It helps me sleep at night.
That much cheaper than a modern 32 bit ARM?

I imagine it has to deal with encrypted traffic, IPv6 these days, which doesn’t sound fun on 8bit chips.

It seems weird to me, but again, it’s not my field.

Does any one know what is the market share for 6502, 8051 and ARM?
To make sure I understand, is this an accurate expansion of your comment?

Yes it would leak, to avoid leaking you could invoke the GC when you’re not in a critical section. Alternatively, if you don't use maps and instead structure all your data into arrays, slices and structs, you can just avoid allocations using arenas or similar. (You can use arrays and slices without the GC, but maps require it).
It is expensive to tape out a different chip. As 8051 originally was about 50000 transistors that’s peanuts nowadays.

Likely cheaper to manufacture a single chip and do market segmentation via software than manufacture two if the savings are measly (let’s assume 16nm process) 1/500 mm^2 per chip.
They were intended to defend against conventional attacks by their neighbors, not deter other nuclear powers. It would still be nice to deter such attacks, but it also works to reveal them after the attack begins, or just use them. I imagine they didn’t think it was worth provoking condemnation from the international community by revealing them.
Does Pullstring save (or export) all of this metadata into something that can work on a different platform?

I wonder about the chances of all this work being lost.

Edit: Story was from 2017, Apple acquired them in Feb 2019, and Pullstring's site is now gone, though a few pages remain in the Google cache. Sounds like there is some risk.

I used InterBase (Firebird predecessor) 15 years ago, and recall it had some big limits around versioning/lots of updates. To reclaim disk space we’d have to periodically backup/restore the db. It got so bad/frequent that we moved to Postgres and haven’t looked back since. I guess if one is considering SQLite that it’s not too relevant, but is this still an issue with modern Firebird?

As a European, European countries have a tendency to have not-so-fair rules. Opaque taxation with lots of loopholes if you're willing and/or have resources to go for them. Very different taxation for employees and contractors with loose enforcement who is contractor and who is employee. (Partially) government owned companies participating in the market. Poorly run public purchases. Privatisation gone wrong in sectors where free market just doesn't work (e.g. energy last-mile).

On top of that, Euro side feels like having much much more regulations than US. Which causes it much easier for big companies, but hinder small businesses and upstarts. While technically it may count as free market, it feels like gatekeeping.

Despite middleboxes TCP and TLS are still evolving. It is slow and painful compared to green field designs like QUIC, but it still happens.

Latency-based congestion controllers such as CTCP and BBR have gained adoption to better utilize long, fat pipes while keeping bufferbloat down. TFO was introduced to cut down the connection setup latency by 1 RTT if the endopints have seen each other before before. There is some noise about upstreaming MPTCP to linux which would then eventually make its way to android where it would be a big deal for seamless wifi/mobile transitioning.

TLS' evolution is self-evident from new versions including dramatically changed handshakes rolling out.

This reminds me of the kick-chess with dices I used to play when I was bored of traditional chess. You and your opponent would roll dices, whoever had higher number would kick a piece of its own with fingers to go bump over as many pieces of the opponent. Win the game when you kicked all pieces of your opponent off the table. Hit too hard and your finger would bleed. Hit too low and you might only kick over a single or sometime even none of your opponent pieces. Use always the same finger for kicking was one of the rules. After 3 or 4 games, your finger would hurt so much that you'd also want to stop, but there was another rule - who was saying 1st to stop playing was automatically giving 3 games to the opponent. So you wanted to either have at least 4 games ahead then stop or on a tight match you'd grind through your pain to outlast the opponent's pain. Good times.
> Are the people in charge of fixing the underlying issues themselves on call?

Yes - although we're on call frequently enough, and tasked with other priorities when we're not - so progress is slow. I mentioned in another comment as well that the executive focus is to do pretty much whatever our customers want, so this generally results in lots of new problems by the time we fix older ones.

> How about the people producing the changes that cause new issues?

They are responsible for fixing the code, but they can do so more during regular 9-5 type hours. They don't feel the same level of pain. I realise this is a problem, but thanks for suggesting it.
They're doing lots of great heavy lifting to get effects and handlers into a production language, and I don't think it's fair to write them off like this. Yes, it's hard, but they seem to be making positive progress.
