Indeed this is not possible for a classical wave. However, in a quantum description there exists a so-called "vacuum state" for which the expectation value of the electric field operator vanishes at all times, but the expectation value of the square of this operator does not. In the classical approximation of quantum optics, the expectation value of the electric field operator corresponds to the amplitude of the classical wave, whereas the expectation value of the square of the electric field operator corresponds to so-called shot (or quantum) noise on the classical wave.

Of course in nature there is no such thing as a "classical wave", so this description has to break down at some point. This is the case for vacuum fluctuations which simply do not have a classical explanation.
You probably know this already, but for the benefit of others: While it depends on the subfield, a lot of computer science and mathematics papers are freely available.

1. Searching for the title often gives you a PDF in the first few results already. Authors usually have the right to upload a version on their personal website or arXiv.

2. There is Google Scholar [1], which has links to PDFs on the right of the result (if it knows one). It is better at this than regular Google search, in my experience.

3. Manually searching on the author's website (or former website, if they moved) sometimes proves successful, although this is relatively more effort.

4. As mentioned, writing an e-mail to the authors works as well. (If you buy a paper, the authors get nothing, so there is no incentive not to share it.)

Are the movement of "native Java / native Scala" be following the language design, and implement a native code generator for the source code / bytecode?

Or do they produce the same runtime, but just "more native" implementation?

For example, in the traditional java, there are class loader, hot code reload, reflection, garbage collection and rpc supports. If Mandrel or GraalVM does not provide those runtime features, should them still be called Java?

Most probably run linux ;) I think that creators of ransomwares try to target the broader audience. The ROI is probably higher if you target Windows, as this it is probably running on 95% of the personal computers worldwide. Linux servers have probably more valuable data, but better security and backups. While I would be curious to know the percentage of Mac users who are installing softwares from another source than the app store. I will go even further, I am quite sure than a good percentage of Mac users never use any other software than an internet browser.
You are completely right about the not "freely given" aspect. But well, it already breaks down at the "informed" aspect.

Their appstore pages link to the generic privacy policy of the company instead of for the browser specifically. This alone will usually already NOT be accepted by the supervisory authorities at least in Germany - the Landesdatenschutzaufsichten usually require a product specific privacy policy being linked for it being valid (personal experience), or at least making clear in the general policy what applies to the product, what not. And as mentioned, the fact visited domains are sent to the DDG servers (also outside the European Union) was not mentioned at all in that policy when I looked some minutes ago.

Note the words used in the argument: "could have a common cause", "without necessarily being a cause".

So there was an....interesting, to say the least, situation in Poland just few weeks ago and that reason why it made the news - a small helicopter has landed at a local fuel station, the owner got out, pulled it to the pump by hand, refueled, and flew away. Apparently, according to the police, no law was actually broken in doing so - as long as the landing area was free and it was an emergency(the pilot was about to run out of fuel), it was all fine. According to the article that kind of helicopter is used for "herding cattle"(no idea why it would be needed in Poland though, our farms are never so large that you'd need a helicopter, but clearly I'm wrong).

Open rates were measured (probably) from either track-pixels as well as any normal images hosted by the email provider. When an email is variably considered 'trusted'/not-spam by the client, it'll show images. But even if no images are shown, a link clickthrough in the email (to the email host and redirected to source) would then also be added to the open rate.

> But when thinking about the daunting task of creating a new implementation of Python, my brain also began asking the question of what exactly is Python?

The Python documentation is pretty clear about (1) What is the Python language, (2) What is the Python stdlib (“Python” is either the first or the combination of the two), and (3) what are CPython implementation quirks. If you have all of #1, you have a Python implementation, #1 + #2 is, I guess, a Python distribution.

And, yes, most of the things the article questions are part of #1, and definitively part of the essentials of the language.

What often is not clear is that GrralVM in "native" mode is NOT faster than JVM mode, because the JVM has a number of tricks up its sleeve for dynamic optimization based on actual usage patterns.

> I think that seeing how someone reacts unprepared is a lot more valuable

I share your unpopular opinion, because the truth is generally told between the lines. At my last job I was the only one excluded from interviewing new candidates, because I am silly enough to throw ad-hoc technical questions into the discussion. My colleges managed to hire really nice people lacking basic technical skills, e.g. data analyst with 17 years of experience not knowing how to make a left join or a sub-select or PHDs not knowing what python or even a "programming language" is. We had some "fun", I can tell.

And this goes both ways. I remember as an "unprepared" candidate facing the ad-hoc question "how would you deal with time series data". Through well placed questions I figured out that they have - after removing the obvious seasonal effects - only 5 data point. After my answer "I wouldn't even fit a regression line on it" the interviewer said "no one here does time series analysis, not even I" and left the room with some made up excuse. Or when the interviewer was bragging about "valuing work-life balance and having a lower churn rate than the industry average" and I figured out he is with the company since 9 months. He was just smiling and left the room with some made up excuse.

Basic rule for hiring: don't let fool yourself AND don't try to fool others.

This is just misinformation. Of course, in most places, Germany has speed limits. For example, the speed limit within cities is generally 50km/h, around schools and in residentials areas it's 30km/h and outside of towns, it's usually somewhere between 60 and 100km/h. The only exception to this are highways where, in fact, 70% of the time, there is no general speed limit. Even so, specific sections will always have speed limits (e.g. around a construction site), and additionally, there are strict rules for how to behave on the highway (in particular, it's absolutely 100% forbidden to pass a car on the right and you generally have to drive as far to the right as possible unless you want to pass a slower vehicle).

IP-adddresses are considered personally identifying information. TCP requests transmit IP addresses.

Under the strict interpretation of the GDPR, a lot of things which are common outside the EU might be illegal, like e.g. embedding Google Fonts. To be on the safe side, people usually at least list these external dependencies in their privacy policies to construct some kind of "consent", but till we have more actual court rulings, this is a huge problem area.

For the problem at hand, it is pretty clearly illegal, as it's not only an ip address transmitted, it is a combination of ip address plus visited unrelated domain. This allows the creation of profiles. It does not matter for the GDPR, if the profile is ACTUALLY created, the pure possibility of creating it any time is enough to be a problem.

I would hope that it can also be made to cache 404 and 410 responses to favicon requests too (or at least 410 even if not 404), so that it won't keep trying to access it.

Also, in SQLite, note that LONGVARCHAR is the same as TEXT, and that you don't need to specify both UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY (it is redundant), and that if it is not a INTEGER PRIMARY KEY and not WITHOUT ROWID, then it isn't the real primary key but just an index (same as UNIQUE); add WITHOUT ROWID if you want to make it a real primary key, but note that the way the data is stored differs then, and WITHOUT ROWID is inefficient with tables storing large blobs.

To be fair, they mostly dominate viewership numbers by being the only right-leaning news network available, so they get half the viewing public to themselves while their competitors fight over the other half.

Sort of an indictment of the efficient market hypothesis that nobody has figured that out and gone into competition with them.
> Wait what? a TCP request already breaks the GDPR rules?

If the TCP request carries personal data like the name of a visited website plus the user's IP address, then it "breaks the GDPR rules" in so far as you now have to fullfil your GDPR transparency/consent etc. duties /before/ sending that request.

Maybe not all website names look like sensitive data to you, but some website visits you surely want to be treated as sensitive, personal data (like names of hospitals, doctors, political parties, religion etc.).

People in their 30s or 40s like me don't make lifestyle changes "for its own sake". We do it because we notice our slightly older bodies react significantly differently to substances or generally are less healthy and less tolerant of unideal lifestyles. This is due to hormone changes and basically other types of aging.

Also, just because coffee makes _you_ feel calm, and you have no issues sleeping afterward, does not mean that that is the normal reaction. For most people, coffee is a stimulant, and will often delay sleep. But the effects vary quite a bit with different people and different consumption levels.

Well sure, but all this is a somewhat-conscious decision by politicians: "basing on experience, doing the pandemic preparations as advised by epidemiologists is more expensive than absorbing a pandemic not prepared (even if that somehow happens during our term)".
Or probably because they know that even in the worst case scenario they will not go hungry or lack healthcare access. This is so contrasting with India or other Asian countries where opportunities and wealth was always limited and welfare net was limited to your family and social circle which helped in dire times, this led to a very strong savings culture for the middle class.
