Nowhere in the definition is intent specified. This article is hardly the only place the word "communicate" is used to describe the behaviour of inanimate objects. For example, "communicate" is a handy descriptor in gas dynamics to explain the differences between supersonic and subsonic flows. In subsonic flow, the particles can communicate with upstream particles, but in supersonic flows they cannot. This is a useful way to conceptualize the differences between the two flow types, and can help a student gain an intuitive understanding of why a wing flap that works in subsonic flow may not work in a supersonic flow without a radical redesign.

In this situation, the use of the word communicate is accurate to the definition, and also a useful tool for gaining an understanding of what is happening. The word is used because it is useful. It serves a purpose beyond anthropomorphizing for the sake of anthropomorphizing.
It should last until we get to strong AI or fusion energy, both i believe will have too much an impact to be again in the hands of the fews (perhaps a global war will be in order before).

Then, the problem will be about literally physical space on earth.
Instead of giving my privacy away, I prefer software like anything that you have installed from a CD-ROM back in the 90's and didn't needed a weekly update. Games, 3D-Studio, Autocad (to name a few) were more complex than a web-browser (a today's web-browser) and didn't needed a weekly update or the hunger for user-requested features, let alone dialing home because. The world worked relatively fine without the up-to-date wankery we see today.
Exactly. These people are petting the dog after it attacks their kid, oblivious to the training they are offering and reinforcing. We as a collective are just teaching big tech how to more effectively enslave us for profit.
Yes, heavy two-handed swings were a game-changer for me. I am a climber and I don't think it's any coincidence that 5.13- and V8 became "easy" after incorporating these into my routine. I had a very weak posterior chain. It's funny, when you do an actual sport-specific strength assessment, it often seems your weaknesses are not what you thought they were.

Yes, it is exactly this naming that somehow irks me. It somehow seems to imply that this should be part of the regular CS curriculum. It should not.

Indeed, universities should once again become a place where you go to pursue a career in science. Not a half-baked vocational training center. That’s why I’m against excessively accommodating this misuse.
Or do - because water cooling can be a fun hobby.

I've got a custom loop with my Ryzen system (420 + 280 rads, mostly EK kit including a D5 Glass XRes) and it's been enjoyable putting it together, and if you're not totally incompetent easy enough to make leak-free with the latest generation of fittings.

As for a pump failing, as others have said the CPU will thermally throttle before damage is done, but for added peace of mind I'm running my setup with an Aquaero which will shut the computer down if the coolant temp breaches a set threshold, or it senses the pump has failed.

The biggest thing for me is that my computer is EERILY quiet unless I'm pegging all 8 cores, and the GPU, at 100% ... which makes for a nice peaceful environment.
Pandemonium and uncertainty in this situation favors the losing candidates. Would the underdogs in this fight be getting the same level of attention today if the results were clear? I do not think it was rigged, but there are many levels of deniable sabotage that have the same result. Like just purposefully doing a garbage job.
Physicist use this term, but always with the understanding of "communication" in the sense of Shannon information, i.e., two initially uncorrelated systems can become correlated only if they "talk" to each other. It's never intended to suggest planning/agency, and it's a useful intuition pump, properly used.

What's happening here is that the journalist is keying on that phrase used by physicists and repeating it in a popular setting where the reader doesn't know the more precise meaning. It functions as effective clickbait, but the journalist can maintain plausible deniability by quoting the researcher. (Sometimes, the physicists is guilty of doing this purposefully and the journalist is duped.) This is actually a pretty big source of popular-physics clickbait.

Nevada will use the same app (apps? Android AND iOS?) for their upcoming Democratic caucuses Feb 22.

I expect:

A) A forensic analysis will quickly show where the problems lie

B) The analysis will be only superficially reported, likely due to NDAs with the app developer. In other words, no source code for you, voter!

C) With low probability, election integrity will ever so slightly increase by the time the 2024 or 2028 cycles come around,

D) No candidate will see this debacle as a big issue. Except maybe Bloomberg.

That might be useful for aircraft, but not cars or the grid. Batteries are already cost competitive with peaking power plants and prices just keep dropping.

Run some numbers and you find batteries are surprisingly cheap at grid scale. Grid solar is already tied into the grid and does DC>AC conversion anyway as part of it’s 2c/kWh pricing. So, rather than AC>DC>AC>DC you can just use solar panel’s AC power directly. Which means your just adding minimal cabling, batteries, some electronics, and a basic box for weather protection. So, ~100,000$ for 200kWh of storage x ~5,000 cycles that’s 10c/kWh for storage + (2c/kWh solar / 90% efficiency) = ~12.2c/kWh.

Granted that ignoring some real world costs like interest payments, but battery costs are also dropping so it’s a reasonable ballpark. Especially vs a theoretical system that’s never been scaled.

PS: By comparison if your at 50% efficiency to chemical storage and world record 63% thermal efficiency at combustion that’s 2 /.5 /.63 = ~6.3/kWh just for electricity plus the cost of your combined cycle gas turbine and chemical plant.

> ...why is this guy randomly talking to me? Are they selling something?

People assume that even at networking, social gatherings, or speed dating events. Doesn't matter what their initial impression is as you can change their later impression.

> ...oh god, this is boring...

That can be said for anything. The point is to make them contribute and prevent a one-sided conversation.

> ...this is wildly veering _super_ boring and way too personal.

That's why progression matters. You can also refrain from asking them directly, like for example: "let me guess, you're an arts student/interior designer" Most people would correct your assumption, and now you're talking about occupation. Or you can segway that to recreation "I could've sworn that you're the (assumed occupation) type. You seem like you do plenty of (activity related to assumed occupation)" The person would again correct the assumption, or if not, you can change the subject or push through. Either ask directly "so what do you do instead?" or share a detail about yourself/the subject that'd bait the person into asking or sharing theirs.

Most people respond friendly. If they are part of the contrary, move on.

The solution is to use a hex bar, which centres the weight under the hips and removes the health concerns related to poor technique. There is simply no exercise substitute for picking up really heavy things and everyone, particularly women, should do it regularly.

You complained that it was hosted on Google specifically. I tested that Chrome specifically copies the canonical URL and not the location bar URL when I share that AMP page, which doesn't fit your narrative.

Also, the reason the AMP page is faster is that it prerenders above the fold from a SERP, not due to total page weight.
less wasted computation means less global warming
It's not an absurd statement. Deadlifts improve so much musculature in your body which resolves/prevents injury. I had a 3+ year long knee injury from running and the only remedy was heavy squats. I was considering surgery and experimental stem cell injections since nothing was working. Thankfully I tried strength training before the alternatives.

It's important that people understand proper deadlift form though. It's a bit more complicated than just picking the barbell up off the ground.
The problem I find is if you aren't doing it regularly everything takes three times as long as a it would take a contractor.
The app's entire purpose is to allow 1700 people to type in 21 numbers, and to send those numbers to a database. I don't know how that's more than a week's work, with another month or two added to design the walkthrough.
These seem extremely similar to Scala's case classes. In my experience, case classes are often the feature that sells people on moving over to Scala from Java (the other being exhaustive pattern matching warnings from the compiler).

Fingers crossed Java never implements the `implicit` keyword...
That cute rhetoric will not fool anyone. Common git workflows use fairly succinct git commands:

git diff
git commit -p
git rebase -i HEAD~3

The command quoted in my original comment is just this we strip away the SHA256 garbage:

git log abac87a..f787cac

(Or maybe it is:

git log abac87a^..f787cac^

I cannot guess whether the ^ operator still has the same meaning or whether it is part of this ^{sha...} notation.)

The hashes will typically be copy and pasted, so you type just the git log, .. and spaces.

The fixed parts of convoluted git syntax can be hidden behind shell functions and aliases. But notations for referencing objects are not fixed; they will end up as arguments.
> Do you understand what licensing is?

Nope, no one understands licensing. Which means that arguments grounded on "The user accepted the terms!" has a shaky ethical foundation. Not necessarily a shaky legal foundation, although that wheel seems to be turning.

There have been many examples of a CEO retiring and the replacement running the company into the ground. Thus if you find a good CEO they are well worth a much larger salary (if that is what it takes to get them) to ensure they stay on the job working for you. A good CEO is well worth the price because of how well the company does. Luck is a factor in how much a company grows, but bad management is the largest factor in how fast the company fails.

Of course why you would pay such high salaries to a CEO who is untried and might turn out to destroy the company is a valid question.

That’s only really a hard problem because of physical cash. If we’re already going electronic only, one could simply use negative interest rates to solve it.

This is the problem, stock from a few years doesn't house my family or feed my kids. Stock to me is almost as fairly tales as it can be, the few times I received stock as part of my salary it basically evaporated. In the real life, to people that need money each month to survive, stock is a bad joke.
It has to be more than that. A touch sensor might be cheaper than a button, but even Software UI distances itself from the button visual of the 90s and 00s, instead opting for icons with no discernible background or button association. Software UI design is very much imitating how a physical touch sensor interface looks. It seems to be the current trend, chasing a "clean" design above all else.

Biden and Gillibrand use them for similar services but paid far less than Buttigieg.

I would want to see how much other campaigns paid for textbanking software but that seems unusually expensive.
Another observation: caucuses arguably have only one single advantage over traditional voting and that is making it incredibly hard to commit voter fraud or any type of election stealing. The public nature of the voting and tallying means that there is large group of witnesses to the results. It would take pretty brazen and easily provable fraud for someone to report numbers that didn't match the results that everyone witnessed. That plus Hanlon's razor should be enough for us to require some type of evidence beyond circumstantial connections between political operatives before we accuse someone of nefarious behavior.

C++ can have a stack trace, there are enough libraries providing this functionality and even compiler extensions. Say, libunwind, though you will have to demangle names.
And a debugger will see the stack as it is.

Do you recall which RCE bug and when?

I have been using it for 4 years, and I recall one in the past year, but Nextcloud was loud and clear on making sure you had to upgrade. It was even nicer with auto updating on Debian, I didn't have to do anything to get my server patched (I just went in to confirm it was patched).
It's a test case I wouldn't read too much into it. Maybe it's evidence of a massive anti-trust conspiracy at google, but it could very well be because it's the first domain that came to the programmer's mind at the time.
I see a lot of people shitting on deadlifts in this thread, but OHPs are way more risky. Great if you have great form and know your body, but still pretty damn risky.
I've been using Firefox as my daily browser at work, home, and on my mobile devices, and I've literally never had issues with Firefox taking up too much RAM. Chrome on the other hand was always one of the main culprits when my computer(s) would start to slow down.

What about the cost of transporting the energy from where it's generated (say Nevada) to where it's needed (say New York) ?

EDIT: I think for that use case you'll find that a reasonable technology doesn't exist for transporting electrons over that distance (I don't think there are any superconducting transmission lines in actual use) but pipelines have been around for a long time.

> Wow that sounds a lot more complicated than the one I had, HP 42S,

Yeah... the 42S derives from the earlier 41 series, and the 41 series was the first to use alphanumeric symbolic names for programming commands. Prior to that, there was always a very direct correlation between the button you pressed on the keyboard and the way the command was encoded in memory. (Which made sense given how resource limited the earlier calculators were.)

HP took this evolution one a step further with the HP28C, which was released a few years past the 41's. The 28C introduced a garbage collected heap and a tagged type representation for objects that gave you something essentially like a small RPN Lisp running on a handheld.

> If I make an app, I can safely assume that the user has a bank account

Sure, but that doesn't mean you assume that the user operates their own bank. They have some third party they trust to hold their money for them. There are risks to that, but in practice it turns out those risks are much less grave than the risks associated with everybody holding their life savings under their mattress.

This is why I've always been skeptical of the "everyone should have their own server" vision: servers require administration, administration requires technical skills that most people will never have, and even lots of those that do have them aren't necessarily skilled enough to be able to keep them reliable and secure. For all those people, having some professionals at a third party deal with that stuff will yield better results than DIY will. There are risks here too, but it'll probably be easier to mitigate them via regulation than it would be to teach everyone in the world to speak Unix.

(The one way out of this trap would be if we could come up with some kind of server that did not require administration -- that had guaranteed 100% uptime, that never required security updates, that scaled automatically to meet any level of demand, that didn't have physical parts that wear out over time, etc. It's telling that the closest thing we have to that today is less a server and more something like AWS, which... requires trusting a third party.)
