Java 8 is still widely used, it seems. For example, Mojang (owned by Microsoft) still ship Java8 with Minecraft. Pretty sure 8 still gets updates in 2020 too.
So, there is only this one electron, standing in for every electron we can observe, this electron may well be conscious, so what if there are molecular structures (our brain) that "enjoy to feel conscious"?
Perhaps there is only ever just this one consciousness and we all are (read: everything is) part of it?
Some users will care about the small tweak you mention. Maybe enough to have a viable business.

As a user it’s good to have choice caused by competition.
Even in the most technically demanding and theoretical of disciplines (and in some sense, perhaps especially so) it is creativity and an ability (instinct?) to see possibilities that others don't that distinguish the best researchers. This is a wonderful example of that.

I have a fleeting suspicion that her story won’t check out. It sounds a lot like they brought on more people to back her because of data and operational errors and she fought back against them to the point where they had to move her away from her position which she took to the media leaving them to let her go.

I’m not saying that is definitely the case but I’m eagerly awaiting their response.
Does GnuCash integrate well with exports from credit-card companies or banks? It seems like the big blocker is the time spent logging transactions.
Really? I found it significantly more limiting than what I can accomplish in Google Sheets / Excel (although admittedly I'm a power user). The UI and mobile app is way better though.
This is the kernel part of the dynamic profiling/tracing framework created by Martin Pieuchot (mpi@), unfortunately the userland parts btrace(8) (and the bt(5) manual) were not linked to the build for the 6.7 release, so those manuals are not available online.

Besides mailing list postings, there isn't too much available for now. But btrace(8) & bt(5) together describe a utility and language that's supposed to be compatible with Linux bpftrace (but an entirely different implementation).
> DNS logs are important in an enterprise. But I'm sure many would want to also use DoH.

Really? Why? As someone who works in academia, I don't see why anyone would need access to my or my colleagues' DNS logs, but I understand things might be different in industry.
My impression of declarative programming is that it looks good in the "Hello, world" and other basic examples because you don't have to dip into the escape hatches. But when presented with real-world problems, you end up spending more time trying to get their framework to do what you want through the escape hatches than if you had just written your own program using a normal programming language and a well-designed library.
It just seems like a lazy way to automate ad buys. If you had to consider the content on the page and match the ad content to the page, that's just more effort and thinking to be done. Advertising is dubious enough, companies aren't going to pivot like this to see a blip on the radar.
It all changed when marketing firms latched onto "blogging"

Now it's sadly the case a lot of blogs don't have a lot of content, are full of SEO boilerplate, with click-bait headlines instead of being interesting or well written. Some blogs are great, well-written lead ins that end with "to get the end of this story, contact our sales person for a demo!". Or there's the form that pops up that really, really wants your email address for a GREAT newsletter!

I think when a company has a 'blog' it really needs to fulfill a contract of actually providing useful, interesting content. It's the only way, honestly, your brand will build long term trust. Otherwise don't call it a 'blog' call it 'marketing information' or something...

People act differently than what they say they do. The problem is data quality and fidelity when spread across the web.

When you get clean data like Facebook and Google with their first-party access, they can know you better than your own friends.

> We don’t care about how much money we’ve spent at Amazon

That's like, your opinion man. While I'm sure that's one perfectly valid approach, I find a lot of value in knowing where my money has gone beyond categories.

To make it more concrete, how much I spend at Amazon my Rewards Visa determines whether the 2% bump in rewards is worth the cost of Prime. (I know - most people find enough value in the videos or not thinking about shipping. But I find that I simply spend more at Amazon when I have Prime, so I avoid having it!)

To counter myself, my own software is probably too granular and I waste time on those little details of where I've spent money. I could stand to simplify a bit.
I never thought about it in this way, very interesting and super logical actually.
"Simple" is not an adjective I'd associate with GnuCash. Maybe it is if you're coming from a background in accounting or have a penchant for numbers. It's pretty complicated, and I wouldn't recommend it to someone who just wanted to keep an eye on their budget. A simple spreadsheet will suffice. Or any number of more user friendly tools.

That being said, GnuCash is a powerful double entry book keeping system which can almost certainly handle all your bookkeeping needs. But simple, it is not.
I really looked for a link on mobile website , the iOS app and the desktop website. I subscribed via iOS so maybe it’s a bit complex.
> I just want it to be like it was in 1998.

I've found it often doesn't matter how fast or slow python is if the bottleneck is outside of python's control.

For example, I wrote an lcov alternative in python called fastcov[0]. In a nutshell, it leverages gcov 9's ability to send json reports to stdout to generate a coverage report in parallel (utilizing all cores)

Recently someone emailed me and advised that if I truly wanted speed, I needed to abandon python for a compiled language. I had to explain, however, that as far as I can tell, the current bottleneck isn't the python interpreter, but GCC's gcov. Python 3's JSON parser is fast enough that fastcov can parse and process a gcov JSON report before gcov can serialize the next JSON.

So really, if I rewrote it in C++ using the most blisteringly fast JSON library I could find, it would just mean the program will spend more time blocking on gcov's output.

In summary: profile your code to see where the bottlenecks are and then fix them. Python is "slow", yes, but often the bottlenecks are outside of python, so it doesn't matter anyway.

Installing plugins into Wordpress kind of feels like doing your own brain surgery.
You name several that are speciality businesses and are part of that 10%.

But there are definitely examples within Accountants, Animators, and Musicians where Phones, Tablets, and Chromebooks (not specialty desktop apps) have taken over the essential day to days.

For animators; the Ipad VS. Surface face off is a great example -- also where they offload concepts to "the cloud" to render instead of a Mac Pro.
I think this is a fair point, but you find this quandary in hiring for most roles: "Does this person give enough of a shit about the job to at least try to get it right?" The economy is still somewhat functioning, so I assume the answer to that is yes, you can find people who can mostly do the job they're in.

This is not to say you don't need education so workers know how to do the job, effective leadership for those folks, as well as quality assurance and other mechanisms to ensure the work being spec'd is done appropriately. I put forth that there is a middle ground between the nihilistic idea that "these people can only flip burgers" and the naive assumption that anyone can be a brain surgeon and policy put in place around such aspirations.

> But I would not be surprised to find many for whom simply "read the instructions completely before doing anything" is a barrier, or who just cannot grasp the process of: "try X, observe results, modify approach, try Y."

I agree an early filter must be used to route these folks into harmless roles or simply benefit programs. Such is the struggle of searching for and retaining talent. People are hard.

I unfortunately can't get behind the paywall - does the article mention or does anyone know how much of this actually has to do with the stockpile.

I would assume stockpiline would ultimately be a smaller factor compared to the issues of business shutdowns. I'd imagine, though I'd love to see data, that most of this just comes from an increase in online retail overall (with Wal-mart being just one of a few companies equipped to handle this) and the lack of money being spent at restaurants for everyday meals (Wal-mart is America's largest grocery store)

Hey everyone, I wanted to share some tips and insights about caching. I'm a firm believer caching is very important/effective but you have to be very careful and engineer-minded while designing it. It's a 7-minute read.

Some problems include serving stale objects or not having central logic to calculate cache efficiency. This part 1 is more like an introduction but I'm willing to share a very good library and middleware that will help you in 2 things. First is solving cache-related bugs, and second is measuring cache efficiency. Tune in for part 2 :)
Your actions show your interests more accurately than asking you. Also interests are too wide and can change over time. What's more important is what you're looking for right now and the recent actions you've taken (like reading about electric cars or looking at new shoes, even if you're interested in tech).
I think that using date-of-report is better for lay-people. Pro/cons:

- There's a one time spike when the methodology changes

= The data lags reality on the ground (true for both date-of-report and date-of-death)

+ Past dates aren't updated, so there isn't a continuous bias to show a slowdown in the number of new deaths

I think that the last point is the most important because it's super easy for people to misinterpret provisional data. People were talking about covid-19 not causing excess mortality because using date-of-death always shows a dip for the present: https://twitter.com/TylerMorganMe/status/1248452375162925057

You can also see the same thing in the top comment on this Euromomo thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22866238

> Another very surprising thing is to see no excess mortality in Sweden, a country criticized for a laxer strategy against COVID-19. I was not expecting to see that.

That was week 14 for https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ . In fact, week 14's excess death z-score for Sweden was in the "very high excess" category after the data was collected.

> domains in the post seem really expensive for a side project.

It's probably worth considering that the domain is an asset you can resell. Plus, an auction should, in theory, limit your potential losses to amount you outbid the previous winner by, since they theoretically would buy it. The math is probably a little more complicated but you get the idea.
And I may be wrong, and for sure chiplets are proven (for now) to be a very good way of doing things, but those chiplets in AMD chips are relatively decoupled[0]. They're very large and connected within themselves already. They can be expected to operate substantially independently[0]. While they do have to talk to each other to get memory, probably a lot, DRAM access is so slow that it swamps the overhead of inter-chiplet communication[0]. Shared L3 cache, that's another matter I dunno.

I took it you meant like much smaller components, like ALU from this supplier, DRAM controller from that supplier, cache from another supplier etc, all on separate chiplets, each having to go off-chiplet to speak to the others. I am sure[0] that would cost much power and performance.

If you build a versatile platform that can do everything you end up with Jira.

That there is any significant confusion at all means it is not de facto

There isn't any significant confusion. There is a token amount of confusion, which is pretty much always clarified every time one of these threads comes up.

(and if something is right and true based on a definition I don’t think you can call it de facto either...).

It's de facto, not de jure, because OSI has no authority to enforce their definition, since they don't have a trademark (at least not a registered trademark) on the term "Open Source". What makes it the de facto definition is just usage. By and large, among the people who care about the legal details of Open Source licensing, the OSD is accepted. Yes, there are a handful of exceptions, but that's OK. It doesn't change the basic point.
If the post office didn't comply with/lead an investigation into who mailed it (or something like a mail bomb - there are ways to do direct damage with the platform as well, imagine the site being used to host viruses) and instead said that they didn't moderate what went through the mail, they will protect free speech, mailing is a form of speech, and that they won't enforce anything for the spirit of the platform, the platform would be eviscerated and the we must protect the children backlash would be enough to get a law passed saying that every single bit of mail must be opened or read. For the internet platform, they'd have to start having questions about what they enforce and what they don't, and when they do or don't work with law enforcement. Just look at how Apple is going up against the justice department and multiply that conflict by 100x

Not really? In the Debian ecosystem, at least (can't speak for any other), every major version of a library package is expected to be packaged as its own separate concurrently-installable package. You'll find e.g. postgresql-11-dev and postgresql-12-dev both exist as packages, and one provides libpq.11.y.z.so + its headers, while the other provides libpq.12.y.z.so + its headers. Each gets updates independently. One will never automatically switch you over to the other.

And major versions are the only things that need to be separately packaged, because the Linux native-library ecosystem is expected to keep .so ABI compatibility through both "patch" and "minor" updates (the only difference between the two being that "minor" updates can add new exported symbols to the library; they still should not break usages of existing symbols.) This particular arrangement was, in fact, what the Semantic Versioning standard was introduced to accomplish—getting upstream developers to use their version-tuples to mean the same things that Linux-distro package maintainers expect them to mean, allow Linux-distro package maintainers to reuse upstream version schemes rather than needing to maintain their own.

Hi there, I'm one of the people that worked on this project. By way of summary, we used Ghidra to reverse engineer Wind Waker's binary and discovered its using a very weak RNG and a fixed seed. With that we used statistical methods to determine our position in the RNG period and narrow the game randomness to the point of guaranteeing a win.

Got it. Thanks for the detailed answer. I formed a company early this year and using - ZenBusiness for incorporation, Gusto for Payroll, Bill.com for invoicing, Radius Bank for online banking, Stripe for payments, Shopify for storefront, etc. You may want to start segmenting reviews for the needs for types or applications, types of businesses, stages of endeavors (eg. early stage vs. growth), etc. One of the areas I see is for helping tech startups evaluate their cloud provider (AWS vs. Azure Vs. GCP Vs. other) options based on the product they are building. Just my 2c. Good luck!

People should be aware of the facts. That said, in general, slaughter methods involve less suffering than all of us are likely to experience at our deaths, and likewise less than animals in nature generally experience.

That's no reason not to try to improve slaughter methods (and emergency culling methods).

Also, I've eaten vegan for a few years. I don't anymore, but it's worth doing, just as an experience.

After seeing the prices that these "premium" domain fetch auctions for a side project it reminds me of a quote: If you want to become rich in the music business, sell instruments.

Domain squatters are making a killing by selling generic "premium" domains to startups that odds are will not get off the ground. And then the process starts all over again with the domains cycling back through the expiration -> squatter -> auction process.
For people who still remember the frameset web, "framer web" sounds like a weird wording.
The difference of the support plan is amazing. I had a long standing issue where I couldn't get any help, at best I get stuffed to a forum where some random other user would invariably tell me I'm doing things the wrong way and standard non-answers.

We got put on their best support plan for a few months for reasons. The difference was insane. I gave them permission/creds to log into the problem box, along with steps to repo things. In a few days they had reverse engineered what was going on in our code, without having our code, figured out where the bottleneck was in the kernel, and gave me detailed steps to build a tweaked kernel that wouldn't be a problem.

If you're spending that much money (this isn't GCP specific -- this is any cloud) you should be establishing a 1-3 year min-commit contract, and in practice, this will get negotiated through the CFO. This will get you massive discounts -- 20-30% under list price, in exchange for spending $X million/year over Y years.

It will also get you a dedicated sales rep and sales team, and they will absolutely crack the whip on internal teams to get issues resolved. At those spends, you can almost get an in-house support team of PSOs to bounce problems off of.
I think for the vast VAST majority of riders, the "random person with an app" is good enough. In the age of turn-by-turn directions, rides are commoditized. A hundred crimes per year divided by billions of trips per year represents decimal point percentage crime rate — which is a risk not all that different from aircraft crash statistics, or even car crash statistics.

I know I definitely prefer to save tens of dollars per ride vs the services provided by some platonic ideal of a "professional driver".
On the topic of simulations, I've been learning about Modelica, which is a engineering simulator. Basically, many real world devices can be described using system dynamics and their behaviour codified as differential equations. Modelica allows us to build such models, including mixed-domain models (electrical, mechanics, thermal, chemical, etc.), then the Modelica compiler produces highly optimized C++ code you can run to perform the simulation. It's heavily used in the car industry in Europe, but not widely known in academia.

Here are some talks about Modelica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mvEUuc-sWE&t=153 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39F___xyI0k

Here is a complete course if you want to dig in:
