Children on their way to school, the innocent and the weak were the victims of nuclear bombs, people were left without skin, their faces melted, bodies deformed and with radiation poisoning.

What is the dystopian logic here?

That the us led world order eventually will collapse due to global inequality is pretty standard thought in communist thinking.

And of course China sees itself as a more just society with basis in the worker rather than the capital holder.

In this case, "literally every" means exactly three people, two of whom were first-generation immigrants without citizen.

What Extreme Heat Looks Like: Profoundly Unequal
Easy. After carefully creating the enemy in the past four years (the relationship with China was then much better and people weren't using "CCP" as a stand-in for "China"), Trump will just need to stress that he's the only one who can protect Americans from the threat- those democrats weaklings were selling the country to the CCP and will continue to do so.

Job done.
Last year you posted, "HK protect started peacefully now turned into riot with no clear political purpose".

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. Here's an interesting tidbit that might be of interest to you. Indic Scripts and some Ethiopean scripts fall under what are referred to as Abugida writing systems [0]. These essentially eliminate the need to memorize(or devise rules for) spellings and the need for a separate phonetic alphabet. Consonants are combined with vowels(using diacritics etc.) to generate units of syllables providing a one to one mapping between sounds and syllabic units.

lol.

to the dead comment, i agree! except i don't really see bernie being an ultra-borderline commie. but i guess that's how you would view someone when the entire "right" calls joe biden a socialist. man if only those labels were actually true of those people.

the entire us system is broken because there are basically only two parties, and the democrats have decided to keep pushing further right because they assume actual leftists will have to vote for them. so i don't really give a shit that you bag on them. they suck.

trump probably would have had the election in the bag if he didn't muck up the pandemic so badly. and that's not my opinion. the polls show it happening. now will trump get a big enough bounce coming back the other way come november? i don't see it, and neither does trump and the gop considering the ways they're trying to basically suppress the general vote. the democrats suck, but the gop are straight up using fascist tactics. he already tried to "suspend" the election so can't wait to see what happens when he loses and he decides that, no, he actually didn't lose. (again assuming polling is right, i guess we'll find out in 2.5 months)

Top Barcode Generator Apps for Android
In high school I ran Plan 9 on a 600E I found on ebay. The specs were plenty fast enough to run the fourth edition of Plan 9, which hadn't gotten any slower since the early 90s... and Bell Labs had thoroughly worked out the driver kinks on that machine. I was even able to join wifi networks through the PCMCIA card, which was also supported by Plan 9. Pretty fun to be running a fully graphical Unix successor on native hardware with what probably is a fraction of SLOC compared to most stripped down embedded Linux systems you'll find today. When something went south you could just peak at the kernel source code, and even on a Pentium II it would compile the changed objects in less than a minute! And not even knowing C that well at the time, I made several functional changes to the system. I can't imagine being that cavalier on Linux today over a decade later....

To this day I'm not sure I've used a laptop that has as nice a form factor. Especially wonderful was the tactile feel of the keyboard.
No, quite the opposite, actually.

Natural gas conversion mostly reduces particulates. The EIA data says natural gas produces more CO2/MkWh than coal:

Electricity generation CO2 emissions
million kWh million metric tons million short tons pounds per kWh
Coal 1,124,638 1,127 1,240 2.21
Natural gas 1,246,847 523 575 0.92
Petroleum 21,860 21 23 2.11

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=74&t=11

Ironically, particulates decrease insolation and actually slightly reduce warming (CO2's half life is a lot longer than particulates, so the "cooling" is short-lived and will go away when you stop burning coal, net warming, overall). Natural gas doesn't produce as many particulates, so I would expect that converting to natural gas would increase global warming in the short and long term compared to continue to burn coal.

It's far better to switch to solar/wind/geo/nuclear than natural gas in the long run, but there are health benefits to removing the coal particulates:

"Coal impacts: air pollution
When coal is burned it releases a number of airborne toxins and pollutants. They include mercury, lead, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and various other heavy metals. Health impacts can range from asthma and breathing difficulties, to brain damage, heart problems, cancer, neurological disorders, and premature death." https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/coal-power-impacts#:~:text=....

I presume that the primary driver of this conversion isn't the environment, but economics. The price of coal/kWh is more expensive than the volume of gas required to generate the same kWh. The Total system LCOE is usually the number people want to minimize.
https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/pdf/electricity_generation....

tl;dr: No. Burning gas is worse from a climate perspective.

One of the precursors of WebAssembly was Portable Native Client (PNaCl)[1], which did use a frozen subset of LLVM IR as its program representation. But LLVM IR was designed to be a compiler IR, not a program binary format. WebAssembly was specifically designed for the Web use case, and unlike LLVM IR it supports streaming compilation and requires structured control flow, which makes it easier and less risky to implement in JS engines.

Other commenters are correct that LLVM IR has more information in it than WebAssembly, but that is working as intended. The idea is that toolchains will do the heavy optimization work so that WebAssembly engines can be simpler and just do the final code generation.

That in and of itself is a testament to how problematic our man-made legal system is.

Compare a nature made system to a man made system.

Nature changes over time. Our laws and regulations however do not get updated to reflect the times. That is the reason why human progress is slow. It's because humans don't change. That is the root cause of all evil. Humans like the comfort of not having to change.
Have you seen how long this setup takes before it'll trigger a change? Ive left glasses of frozen water to thaw and they most definitely don't thaw evenly. They also take way more time to thaw than any regular food product due to the significant heat/surface area ratio difference.
I've fiddled with IoT very little, yet with the little experience I have, I must say, I'm not surprised at all. And I think the main reasons are the ecosystems around IoT: they are a mess - no standards, no common communication protocols, none of that. So it is a bit of a "every man for himself" kind of thing. I have a few smart devices at home and it really boggles my mind how much they differ from one another when they connect to the wifi. Some fire up a tiny http server which I would assume is used as a rest api, some use udp connections, each one uses the most random port you can imagine, the developer documentation for all of them is nothing short of crap. I think the security vulnerabilities will start going down once:

1. Everything goes open source.

2. Everyone settles on a standard way of communicating between those devices.

Sure, vulnerabilities won't disappear completely but they will go down. At this stage, I feel like they aren't exploited due to lack of interest rather than good will or lack of opportunities.
The way I see it, the likely, big ethical issue with AI isn't some Terminator/Butlerian Jihad scenario, or even mass surveillance - it's that the wealth created by the technology will benefit the already wealthy much, much more than everyone else. This is generally true of most technology and even more so of the software industry (high scalability, "low" headcount, IP makes profit shifting and tax evasion trivial). But AI is unique in potentially enabling mass unemployment at a rate and scale never seen before in human history. This should be a joyous event, since humanity is finally free to enjoy the fruit of its labor without the labor part - but the way the world works today means most of us would not be allowed any bites of that fruit anymore.

When Bezos fires every single warehouse employee, what happens if the job they start retraining for also gets automated away before they can even start? And the next one, and the next one. If nobody is making a salary anymore, then it doesn't matter how much lower the prices are on Amazon (due to being produced in automated factories and shipped from automated warehouses) unless Jeff decides to reduce those prices all the way down to 'free'. At that point the assumptions underlying the world's economy would break down in a way that makes a corona shutdown look like a mild hiccup.

No software engineer is going to be able to do anything to help alleviate this. If you want to do something about this, you need to go into politics, not tech.
Thanks! Did that work for you from the beginning or was the learning curve bloody?

From personal experience: it doesn't take a FAANG type of scale to reveal those "potholes". For most open-source projects (and especially things like pip, npm and other infrastructure and build tools) a simple, almost classical enterprise outbound proxy with authentication and MitM-style HTTPS-reencryption is more than enough kill almost every assumption they have in their code. In my case, that proxy tended to deliver incomplete files at random, which makes you discover that there is no checksumming happening. Then you build a local package proxy to help with that and then you find out that a particular library doesn't re-evaluate proxy environment variables on redirect, so that a redirect from external site to internal does not work. I can't remember filing that many issues at open-source projects as that time and it's been a draining game of whack-o-mole. At the same time you are reading tutorials called "How I did something in three hours" and you consider whether after-hours drinking might have been a better career choice.

Sorry. Enough ranting. That problem is everywhere, not just in libraries. I'm just not sure the problems lies in the users of those libraries, it's not too easy to use those libraries, it's too easy to publish them with a generic sounding name, but solving only a particular use case.

I doubt this has anything to do with 'feeling a need to identify' or anything like that. Many people who code aren't programmers, they have learnt a language to solve problems they have. They know just one language and do not have the time or capacity to learn another 'low-level' fast (but difficult) language for fixing bottlenecks.

> Not every area, not even every country has an unshielded nuclear reactor.

I should have added a /s to make the satire more obvious.

I'm fairly certain that every country bathes in the cancer-causing, ionising radiation of the Sun.

The nearest star is literally an unshielded nuclear reactor, putting out kilowatts of deadly radiation per square meter. You can feel it on your skin. It warms you up so much that that you can outright die from the excess heat in minutes. The radiation burns it causes are so bad that it leaves painful blistering after less than an hour of unprotected exposure.

Yet, the same people blathering on about the milliwatts of 5G radiation -- which you can't feel and has never burnt anyone -- will cheerfully go to the beach and get a sunburn until they're bright red like a lobster. They'll take their kids too and neglect to put sunscreen on them.

Cancer, apparently, is just fine as long as it's natural.

Potentially. However that also leaves a larger attack-surface, in the sense that more patches = even more scrutiny. Conceivably such a scheme would require all parts to be included (I mean, why make it larger than necessary?), so it would be extremely fragile to any single maintainer seeing the potential for abuse and correcting it.
And by re-implementing a library, you're just importing dependencies into your code, with the difference that now you're responsible for bug fixes and security patches, without the opportunity to inherit performance improvements contributed by others.

One small possibility for hope: Foxconn is a Taiwanese company with factories around China but that has also no expanded to other countries. Apple can (and is slowly) work with Foxconn to progressively move bits of its supply chain out of the PRC. It's already producing some iPhone in India and some other devices in the USA. Given the current political climate, they really ought to diversify out of China as a sound business decision, even if they have no plans to take a stance.

As a counter-point, Quarkus [1] has mature support for building Java apps as native binaries via GraalVM, with a large number of extensions that enable 3rd party libraries to be used in native binaries, and people use this successfully in production.

Apple last quarter generated 16% of their revenue in China.
They've also cooperated with the HK/Chinese governments to pull police tracking apps[1] and VPN apps[2] from the App Store.

I'd say even if they relocate 100% of their manufacturing from China, they'd still stay silent because 10B of revenue per quarter is very significant to their top line.

Hi. Actualexperience here... it depends on the ambient temperature and how much stuff is in said freezer. So heres a data point:

Freezer: normal upper level refrigerator freezer chock full of frozen fish caught on holiday in Alaska.

Place, Time: Houston, TX, Late Summer, Hurricane Igor just hit and knocked our power out for 14 days.

Findings: We kept the freezer shut and at about 4-5 days the fish was noticeably thawing and getting flexible. Still cold, but not frozen. I think we might have made an attempt at dry ice but it was too late in the process to matter.

At day 8 or so it had completely defrosted.

At day 10 the smell was so horrendous that if we opened the freezer door we would gag.

At day 14 the power returned. On day 15 or 16 we opened the now cold rotted fish in the freezer and cleaned it out. We vomited multiple times. The smell, despite multiple rounds of bleach, never really went away. The stench permanently inextricable from the lining of the freezer, and the flavor of every ice cube ever made in it from then on.
