#7 to #9 would never get admitted anyway.

The question you should ask is whether being able to admit #6 is worth it.

If #10 is some trust fund baby who couldn't study himself out of a wet paper bag, then probably not.

But if #10 is merely 'good' it might be worth it to be able to admit just-0.1-GPA-short-of-great #6.

The USD figure is more akin to valuation of a company than that amount of USD in hard currency. Probably not inclusive of expenses and risks associated with converting it into cash.

So let’s say human behavior is failure, and animals are at least reasonably smart. We’re implying the reason why animals don’t engage in human-like behavior is that they recognize it will lead to things like climate change and nuclear war. Why are they not stopping us from destroying them along with ourselves?
Your scrum master is a tool and a liability and if they worked for me this would result in a documented disciplinary action.

The JVM version implements a JIT compiler; the C version implements an interpreter. So it's the same thing that makes PyPy faster than CPython, Java 1.3 faster than 1.2 and the first release of Chrome's V8 faster than earlier JavaScript implementations.

PHP 8 also introduces a JIT compiler, which is presumably less mature but more complete: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/jit
For an absolute event that was observed, UTC is, indeed, correct.

For anything interacting with planning though, the user's needs should be considered. Often what you actually want to store is a "recurrence rule" for a single event, while being sure to include the defining aspects picked, or at least confirmed, by the user.
And it’s so easily refutable.

Stares like Florida and Texas, which has higher infections than NorthEastern states, had far lower death rates because of what we had learnt about the virus in the intervening months (just a few things we learnt, that ventilators were not very handy, there are several drugs that are more effective than ventilators, even if we are facing a shortage of medical grade PPE cloth masks themselves can be extremely useful, outdoors are much safer than indoors, etc).

The idea that we were always expecting the same number of deaths is nonsensical, but even if someone did believe that in the beginning of the pandemic, it’s been proven incorrect by now.
So you're suggesting restricting the optimisation to trivial cases only, greatly hampering what it can do.

Again, your suggestion is imprecise. Would you want undefined behaviour eliminated from the language entirely? If yes, deep changes would need to be made. If no, there's little point, as it's still a highly unsafe language.

Eli Schwartz is an absolute treasure. Because Arch strongly prefers to ship unmodified upstream projects, Eli pops up all over the place fixing bugs upstream.

I've been using his Arch repo shipping Calibre with Python 3 for I think over a year. My system is updating to Calibre 5 from the main repos as we speak, so I guess I'll remove the custom repo now.

Now I'm only waiting for the Kodi 19 release before Python 2 will be gone from my system forever...

To me it's always been win2k, win 7, win 10, win 98. In tthat order. I've been using win2k rather than windows xp when I need legacy application support, though you might need to jump through some hoops for XP compatibility and drivers.

Though I've been inpressed by how snappy windows 8 feels, especially the boot time which is the fastest of all versions.
> (which would be like, the regulators responsible for the computer)

no one is responsible, that's the whole point. The thing runs by itself and game theory keeps it afloat - not a group of people. Else it's just like a company.

That said, the protocol isn't finished and you have people involved in maintaining and upgrading the protocol. Which is in no way forced down upon everyone: once they have an update everyone is free to choose to run it or not.

These people have influence (you could argue too much) about the future of the protocol.

What did I miss? I've last used Windows in 2005, I'm pretty sure that was XP Service Pack 2. What does it do now to actively work against you?

That doesn't prove anything. People said it was crap because it was. Then SP1 was released with 1+ year and it became pretty good. By SP3 it was rock solid because that's 7 years of bug fixes keeping other changes to minimum. That's what giving bugs does to software, no surprise here.

Oh yes. I used to work for company which produced medical software which continuously recorded patient data. Those duplicated or missing hours were always the worst and error-prone use cases.

I'll point out that in the latest Techempower Benchmarks[1] PHP makes up 20% of the fastest 25 frameworks. It also makes two appearances before the first Java framework.

PHP might not be suited to every application, but it's certainly not slow.

Thanks for making this lib. We tested it a while back on a project that needed air-gapped data transfer. We ended up doing an animated QR flow but we spent some time with this.
If we remove ourselves from the world and let it sit for another few million years, there might be a dog or elephant or crow society, sure. And while that’s interesting to imagine it also shows that a fair benchmark is indeed simply which species makes it there first.
Handout instead of profit, few thousand instead of half a million USD value—we are moving into a more realistic territory.
You can't. But you can trust that negative reviews are not fake.

No one would give themselves a negative review on purpose. And this is key.

I worked out these problems a few years ago, but never followed up. Both due to lack of ability and due to, y'know, enjoying being able to sleep at night without wondering whether it's my last day on this pillow.
>Eli Schwartz is an absolute treasure. Because Arch strongly prefers to ship unmodified upstream projects, Eli pops up all over the place fixing bugs upstream.

Not to diminish the work of Eli, but several Arch package maintainers end up bugfixing upstream projects to keep sources unpatched. Personally done upstream contributions to several upstreams I maintain in the distribution :)
Toward zero: Reducing and offsetting Automattic's data center power emissions
Such a weird comment. Are you proud of large-scale animal abuse or what exactly is the point you are trying to make here? As someone born in the former Soviet Union, “Russia does things this way” is not a good thing.
I wonder if it’s related to ad-tech that was embedding “sonic markers” in tv/YouTube ads that were to be picked up by ad-tech SDK’s embedded in apps.

If someone had granted microphone access, the SDK could wait until it hears a signal embedded in an ad, and then pass back whatever data it had accumulated.
Windows 10 has become much less open for non enterprise customers. It't incredibly hard to change settings or disable features such as Onedrive, Cortana, and others.
It does a lot of things and it does all of them at least reasonably well. Some parts like reading ebooks has 75 different choices but I don't think anything nor any combination of things does everything it does and any 3 choices to do 75% of what it does would doubtlessly be vastly jankier.

Not liking how something works doesn't make it wrong or broken.

He also calls himself a self-hosting addict. When you take that into account the equation changes since GCP and AWS are decidedly not self-hosted.
I’d recommending reading the post about the difference between erlang and php and reading the article again. This isn’t silently swallow errors. It’s saying start with fail aggressively but also don’t forget to identify situations resulting in failures in the first place and fix those bugs our handle the corner conditions properly. That’s diametrically incompatible with “log and continue” as at no point is that desirable according to this post.
I guess Telemetry and Ads is what they're referring to? And maybe automatic updates that wipe your desktop.

well, ok. let's do this.
I think your numbers are outdated, that's about the production numbers of Tesla alone, not counting the other manufacturers. And Tesla just announced their plans to move towards 3 TWh/year production rate towards 2030.

Any electric car plugged in is a great buffer for surplus electricity production.
> So you if you store local times as UTC, you might not get back the correct value when you convert back after a tzinfo update

That shouldn't be a problem for datetimes in the past. tzdata contains not only the current offset but all historical ones as well.

It might be a problem for /future/ datetimes. If I say the meeting is at 1700 America/New_York and the local civil authority changes the offset in the meantime I probably don't want the meeting to move in local time.
Of course! I happen to see Eli all over the place, but many others as well.

Purpose of shaking
I believe auto updates aren't malicious. Microsoft had a huge problem with worms infecting millions of computers that used outdated Windows version. It made Windows less secure in public opinion, even though these issues had often been fixed a long time.

Forcing people to update was probably the only way to stop that.

I'm also not a fan, I got burned at least once by a Windows 10 computer restarting in the middle of the night when I had programs running on it, but I guess it's one of these things that's good for 99%, the 1% is just overrepresented here.
In my personal life, I adopted a "broad front" approach to long term projects.

By broad front, I mean that I'm inching a lot of things forward, instead of focusing all of my attention on a single breakthrough.

If my motivation is low, I'll do small things that will be helpful when my motivation returns. This includes planning, buying supplies, cleaning up the workspace (physical or digital) or implementing quality of life improvements. For example, I might not be ready to extract a bolt that broke in a motorcycle engine ([expletive]), but I can disassemble the engine, buy tools, or figure out how it's done.

Sometimes, this gets me right back into it. Sometimes it just makes it easier for another day. To keep with the analogy, I call it stabilizing the front.

If you do this, it's critical that you leave yourself an easy reintroduction to the project. This might be a 95% finished commit, or a really good readme. You shouldn't dread getting back into it because of the project's state.

Yeah, 1 realization I made a long time ago was a day could have 25 hours or 23 hours. And a clever system having a timeline would show, e.g. in the Central European timezone:

or

There are also pratical concerns. If you have a family, sticking to high-impact work will have high impact on the time you can devote to your family commitments (unless you are some sort of genius who solves everything before/within deadline). In that case you actually might desire a bunch of "snacking" with just a few high-impact thrown in.
Most of the time as a user you deal with the consequences of the developers competence or lack thereof not their personality. I'd infinitely rather use the work of a competent asshole than an incompetent saint. I've filled out bug reports and feature requests for calibre and found that even when I didn't agree with Kovid he was relatively easy to approach and responsive to dialog even when I didn't necessary agree with the response I feel like I've derived a ton of value from his work for zero dollars and zero cents.

‘Living Yugoslavia’: Past Identity Becomes Present Political Statement
Nobody got scammed. It's pretty much like an IPO. The project distributed tokens, not dollars. Coinbase and a few other exchanges listed them and trading started with the tokens fetching a certain price. I sold some on Coinbase, got money - that's it. The token is a "governance token" and I, personally, don't see much value in it but I do not follow this too closely. In theory the token gives the holder a future say in the direction of the projects and maybe a cut of the profits.
AmazonBasics is also like that. Let scammers on your platform. Then sell a trusted brand that is guaranteed to be scam free.
Regardless of what you do, I'd be extremely careful about looking at leaked commercial source code. While I think you could legally get away with writing code that was just inspired by something you've seen, I not sure I'd want the hassle of having to potentially defend myself if it came to a lawsuit.

I don't know about the US, but at least in Germany, no vaccine is being "rushed through". What is happening is that we're pumping a lot of money into the process in order to expedite it and remove idle time - for example, typically pharma companies wouldn't start preparations for a phase 2 or 3 trial before the previous phases were successful due to the high likelihood of failure. Now they will do precisely that, allowing them to save time, at the risk of having wasted a lot of resources for nothing if the previous phases do indeed turn out to be a failure.
Awesome news for content creators on twitch and Youtube
Personal experience would indicate that a lot of people hated Windows 8, not just because it took something they were familiar with and threw the biggest curveball at it possible, but because they actively made the UI/UX significantly more difficult to use.

For me the icing on the cake was segregating different apps between "tablet mode" and "desktop mode," where the former would take up the entire screen with no reasonable way to multitask between programs. Not only that but how many apps had (and even still have) both a UWP and standard implementation, from my experience that just confused users as to which they were supposed to use. Heck even today we still have the Settings app and the Control Panel (which is increasingly difficult to access I might add), both with various controls and settings only found in one but not the other.

IMO Windows 10 (sans tracking and forced pre/auto-installing apps) is what Windows 8 should have been from the beginning. Many beneficial changes under the hood, and minor UI changes that don't entirely change the workflow of the OS, but instead augment it for a better experience for both regular and power users. Somehow we've eclipsed the 5-year mark since its release, yet Windows 10 still feels incomplete. Not even just that, but they manage to make it feel even less finished with every new update.
That might have been fixed in 5, I haven't used calibre in a while. As for formatting, I rip my collection from my amazon library, so there's nothing I can do about that unfortunately.

Overall, though, I do think DeFi has potential. Every attempt to anchor blockchain stuff to the real world (supply chain validation etc) seems to founder on the fact that non-blockchain solutions already exist. Providing new functionality on the blockchain seems to be more successful.

EternalBlue was probably the biggest backdoor used by the US government for years and even Microsoft (at least officially) didn't know about it. Finding and not reporting bugs is much easier than getting a company to put in backdoors without anyone blowing the whistle or objecting.
To be fair, that's typically a policy enforced by administrators: "patch X should be force-installed if not present by Date Y" + "reboot should be forced if not happening after Z days from patching" => "reboot will happen at Date Y + Z, regardless of user's wishes".
The humorous but not wrong "consensus" was that you always had to skip a version. In this case 95 > not 98 > 98SE > not Me > XP (this was a bit of a departure because it was a successor to both the 9x and the NT lines) > not Vista > Win 7.

And both XP and Win 7 were criticized at the beginning because they had to compete with very solid predecessors, and because they came with plenty of teething problems even if they had potential. That potential was fully realized some SPs later.
