Maybe? But how would you know, if the acceptable upper limit is defined in parts per trillion. You'd need lab grade instruments to even detect if the Brita filter is working to spec, which considering how cheap it is, is probably not something done in QC. I'd probably rely on ZeroWater for something like this but even then I would have doubts and assume my water has some unacceptable level of PFAS.
The UK govt is made up of the people too stupid to refuse the job after the brexit vote. Their strategy is to hold on really tight, do nothing and hope their problems go away while awarding their friends massive no bid government contracts to do nothing.

Im not just bring pejorative, come and take a look. The first thing PM did after the vote was resign. Theresa May took over and couldn't make it work. Now we have BoJo the Clown and he won because the oppositions best candidate was all but a communist who wanted to shut down most of the banks and all go back working in factories. BoJo's never had any strategy beyond opportunistism. That won't really work in this circumstance. Except that the sale could probably be approved if ARM spent £100m on "consulting" from a tory donor?

I mean it was valued pretty close to that on the public markets before SoftBank bought it, and tech shares in general have appreciated massively since then, so I think they could get a decent price at IPO.
I'm not sure they're _much better_ but in my experience (both as a kid and a dad) they serve different purposes. Parks and playgrounds are great, as you've mentioned (but you can also get socialisation through play groups, activity groups like swimming, school, the beach etc).

My kids do lots of stuff they couldn't do in a public space and I likely wouldn't let them do inside. They have outdoor baths in summer, grow sunflowers and herbs, collect eggs from the chickens, have 'outdoor movie nights', run around naked for hours etc. There's also social things, being in a playground or park means my kids often go and find things to do by themselves, which is great (they're great at independence). Being in our backyard forces them, most of the time, to work together to solve whatever problem they have. Those problems are often far different from what happens _inside_ the house and are just as critical to their development. Last week I saw my 2.5yo up our apricot tree throwing apricots into a bucket being held by our ~5yo because they wanted to make dessert. Could probably do that in a park, but yeah.
Why would the Chinese authorities accept this deal if it means ARM will be on American hands and thus subject to arbitrary export controls (as examplified with Huawei, now possibly Xiaomi)?

> So you at least acknowledge a role for the government in this.

No.

I mean, "attempt to kill everyone who doesn't agree precisely with me, and take over the whole world and run it precisely the way I see fit" is also a tool in the drawer. Acknowledging the fact that some people choose to take that path, and that it is a tool that this tool-using species uses sometimes, does not in any way signal my acceptance or endorsement of such a choice.

I don't think that everyone that is entirely opposed to government-based solutions to the problem (or even entirely opposed to the concept of a government or a state in general) is a "hardline extremist".
They could have made the Windows version UTF-16 by default for example.

Or they could have fixed setdefaultencoding or give us a way to set the default encoding https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3828723/why-should-we-no...

I don't buy the "discouragement" part there, if anything they could have made it mandatory or at least it set it to UTF-8

> For example, there's still a lot of Japanese files out there in SJIS that need to be decoded accordingly.

Yes but you would have to work on those cases anyway and ASCII would have made it blow anyway. But convert it to UTF-8/16 and it works.

EDIT: the reason is apparently that "(setdefaultencoding) will allow these to work for me, but won't necessarily work for people who don't use UTF-8. The default of ASCII ensures that assumptions of encoding are not baked into code"

Really. I can't explain my anger at how this is such an idiotic excuse. Yes, your program will fail if you use Latin-1 encoding, duh. Configure your environment correctly and it will work. Sounds like the kind of pedantry that made Guido quit over the walrus operator
A Mass Escape, Million Foreign Workers Are Leaving Britain
Actually think about it. bytes is str in Python 2. There is no bytes type in py2. How would a per-file directive (of all things) help?

What if one function running in “py2 mode” returned a string-that-is-actually-bytes, how would a function in “py3 mode” consume it? What would the type be? If different, how would it be detected or converted? What if it retuned a utf8 string OR bytes? What if that py3 function then passed it to a py2 function - would it become a string again? Would you have two string types - py2string that accepts anything and py3string that only works with utf8? How would this all work with C modules?
It will be interesting to actually determine infrastructure costs in urban vs suburban areas. I think it is a complicated answer. Is it more expensive to build Are there other alternatives beyond these two choices?
> The US government is not acquiring Intel or Lockheed any time soon

Well that's because the US government aren't worried about Intel being acquired by anyone else outside of the US anytime soon. Secondly, there's enough competition in the valley that even losing Intel wouldn't be a disaster for the US. The 2 situations aren't really the same.
Our company is 100% remote and we are genuinely truly friends on many levels, we have a core requirement that there is a base level of communication when at work and we have regular all-hands meetings with no agenda, using a platform suited to large gatherings. Pre-covid we met a conferences or when convenient and we have a few location-specifc gatherings when possible (currently on hold of course).

Being together in person doesn't give you the sense of companionship - we found instead that it's the act of building something together does that.

Rather than wishing for the commute, most of my team loves that they are spending more time with their family.

I understand that you don't want to talk to random people on the street, but I disagree strongly with "just doing your job" mentality. If you have any sort of creative output job where you work within a team (engineering, academia, some artistic endeavors), things are different.

Companies often pay for their employees to attend professional and technical development workshops or go to conferences, because part of your job is to improve your skills. Casual water cooler talks do the same thing; they improve your skills, and help initiate creative ideas that ultimately help build better things.

In my own PhD, I saw supervisors demand their students attend department get together, bar hangouts at conferences, and even casually talk to other people in the dept. If I was a manager of creative types, I would absolutely rate someone who didn't "waste their time" at work lower, because if your job description is to create, you need to do reasonable things to improve your creative skills and outputs.

One advantage dd has, specifically when it comes to copying physical media, is that you can tell it to continue in case of a read error, instead of crapping out halfway through. The lack of such functionality can make copying a scratched CD quite challenging with tools like cat or cp. You also have the choice to ignore the data that could not be read (dangerous) or to write a padded block of the correct size in its place and continue.

I agree that the use cases for all tools are different so comparing them fairly is impossible. dd is still my go-to for making disk images, but it's unnecessary and has high overhead without a lot of tweaking for simple tasks like file operations. cat is often a good tool for things like piped commands where you need a flag cat supports (so you can't use shell redirection) and cp/rsync are obviously superior for copying files rather than just data. Sure, uu could hack my commandsin such a way that one tool can do another's job, but why would I?

Yes, it does. Just use Trellis and Bedrock.
I'm not sure I'd class it as a parody but in case you haven't seen it Red Dwarf is a brilliant sci-fi comedy from the BBC in the mid-90s. It declines a little as seasons go on but the first few seasons are well worth a watch for a sci-fi fan.
That is my intuition too; ARM is a wellknown name and semiconductors is a hot sector at the moment, in particular with a shift away from X86 for personal computing.

However they probably cannot sell all the shares at an IPO and get the full 40B in cash which maybe is what SoftBank wants at present.
Majority voting isn’t how anything works except democracy and civil war. The market will do its best to satisfy everyone at the same time, just as some office jobs have cast iron punctuality requirements and others are a great deal more flexible. Some people will trade money for flexibility, some jobs are unwilling to be flexible. The market clears in the end.
As someone who works for a tech giant I'd like to provide some input here.

1. Absolutely yes for ad hoc queries and there's a wealth of logging and privacy features built into all of our tools.

2. Absolutely yes and those queries are audited. For any query that matches some heuristics it'll warn us with a big scary message to make sure the query is legitimate work.

For the query linked above about checking who was around a location at a given time I'd probably be fired before the query completed. It's a pretty comfortable job but they don't mess around with user data, it's zero tolerance if it's abused and even if there was never a warning message your ass is still out the door when they catch you.

For all the flak tech giants get around PII I think it's horrifying that smaller players can still get hordes of sensitive data and yet have basically no safeguards to prevent misuse like querying whatever some internal engineer wants to look at.
I see the skateboard as a stopgap measure for companies playing catch-up. Not everyone wants to dethrone Tesla, and even fewer are resourced to do so. VW has spent billions upon billions, in part as a mea culpa for dieselgate. How many others are willing (or even able) to invest in these massive battery factories, retrain ICE teams vs. making the pragmatic choice to slap your chassis on a licensed skateboard?

I guess there are further software parallels in the build vs buy debate.
For some syntactical sugar, like print-function, sure. But there are more fundamental changes that couldn’t be papered over.

Redis Lpush vs. Rpush
Totally agree; I'm now very similar to your example, only I came from being one "the" 10x-er. Then I worked with another 10x-er at the same time as we had our first kid. With no sleep and no time to learn I could remain a 10x-er so transitioned into a Tech Lead (and am now moving towards CTO).

Now I spent my time optimising/running the system of software creation and delivery, being the face and the glue - because hey, that's me.
I think they would easily get a 40B valuation on an IPO.

People know that ARM is used in all smartphones and after Apples M1 and the growing usage in Servers many believe that ARM is the future.

Also - with an IPO, customers of ARM like Apple could easily buy shares of ARM...

Probably the reason why Apple didn't bought ARM is because they know they wouldn't get through the competition authorities.

But with an IPO, Apple and other customers could buy something like 9 percent of ARM...
I think your reaction is a bit too strong, which perhaps makes you miss a subtler point better. This use of the word "chemical" seems to be a thought-terminating cliché of sorts and I would argue it is precisely what leads to overreaction in cases such as dihydrogen monoxide.

People learn to associate "chemical" with "bad" and a certain class of "chemical-sounding" names with "chemical". It would be better if the lay knowledge and perception of chemicals was more nuanced, so that it is realized that chemicals are not bad due to their membership in this category, but for other, more complex reasons.

There are bad chemicals and there are good chemicals, and there is no shortcut to knowing which is which other than putting effort into understanding the mechanisms.

I think penalising this usage of the word "chemical" might further this goal.
My assertion is that some progressives just want people to live in cities even if those people are willing and able to bear the supposed additional costs of living in suburbs. They see any extra consumption by another as an attack against the environment or as inequity.

Much of the additional costs are actually borne locally: water, sewage, roads, garbage. With increased installation of solar panels, even electricity is increasingly borne locally.

Also, given the inefficiency of large bureaucracies and the costs of scale in the US, it is somewhat unclear to me if urban areas are really lower cost per capital compared to suburban areas. Look at the Central tunnel project in SF.
Wrong. You don't have any clue what you're talking about. Fractional reserve banking exists to create money regardless of how much money is being printed. Inflation is the measure if price increases overtime. Velocity does not equal inflation, it indicates greater consumer demand for goods and thus can signal rising prices.

The government does borrow money. It borrows it from a central bank by selling it bonds. Bonds for which the public owes the future payments. Thus the government borrows from the public.

Put down the Marx and new monetary theory bullshit. Money has value, money has meaning, money is real. Your understanding is flawed.
Not that I disagree, but the problem for crypto is that it its use as a currency mostly is criminal. There are very few legitimate goods and services people purchase with crypto.

Yes the US dollar is used for more crime than crypto, but it’s also used for everything else.

Crypto will continue to get a bad press unless it can be seen as “a currency sometimes used for crime” rather than “a currency only used for crime.”
"Migration background" is defined as by the Statistisches Bundesamt as anyone having at least one grandparent who immigrated after 1949. We're only just getting into the period where descendants of e.g. Croatian immigrants of the '50s are not classified as being of "Migration background".

This is, of course, only used for statistical purposes; this information isn't tracked on an individual basis for use in any day-to-day decisions.

> British businesses that export to the continent are being encouraged by government trade advisers to set up separate companies inside the EU

The DIT is not advising companies to move to the EU. I'm no expert but VAT has to be paid somewhere and now the process (especially given changes being introduced separately of brexit for e-commerce) is confusing and unexpected for small businesses. The way to deal with this is to set up a company (probably in Ireland) to make accounting easier and obviously avoid tax issues at the border.

That's only part of the problem for goods but seems to be what the article is mostly referring to.
Python is the best example I can point to for how important it is to get the versioning and dependent management story right.

Python is one of the most "accessible" languages in terms of the actually programming experience, but making a project reproducible is a nightmare. There doesn't seem to be a real "right way" to manage dependencies, and getting a project running seems to often start with figuring out how the author decided to encapsulate or virtualize the environment their project is running in, since changing your system python for one project can break another.

I know it's an older language, so many lessons have been learned, but after working with Rust, or even NPM it seems amazing that developers tolerate this situation.
It's really unfortunate how tutorials still spell out all the basics to keep the beginners with them, but then rely on the old-fashioned device names when it comes to writing images. Using sda is fine if you're experienced and know what drive has what name, but technical references should stop relying on them already. It's not like you're getting some useful cross-platform compatibility out of old-fashioned commands or anything, every modern Unix has its own way to specify disk names.
Invitation: Passive Income for Writers
I don't really buy the argument that sugar content is to blame. I buy cheap food, I live in the US, I don't eat "healthy" and never have -- and yet I'm thin. People like to hand-wave this away by telling me I must have a high metabolism, but I've never found that to be a convincing explanation.

I think a more probable reason for the obesity epidemic is the rise of food as a self-soothing device. To me, the best indicator of whether you're likely to have a weight problem isn't your activity level or the sugar content of your groceries, it's whether you turn to food as a way to relax.
I put u-boot on the SD card, then set the SD card R/O using the hardware switch on the SD card (i don't know if it's a standard thing, but mine have one).

Then I put the OS on USB and boot from there. SD cards stopped dying :)

> The minor improvements of Python 3 did not warrant breaking backwards compatibility and most could have been handled in a way that would not break it opt-in directives.

There were serious issues in Python 2 that could not be fixed in any backward compatible way, and would have made further progress forward impossible.

It wasn't done lightly and a lot of smart people thought about it for a long time.

And your old Python 2 scripts will continue to work forever, so I'm not quite sure what your beef is.
Ah yes. There was a time when SCSI was the hottest hardware for workstations and geeks. When my classmates in the late 90es bought 3D cards for their computers, I was counting every penny to afford an Adapted UltraSCSI controller and disk system. It was really fast and knocked the socks off ATA. My last controller was a 19160U which ran like a dream on Linux and FreeBSD. It was very noise though with a set of 10k rpm drives in my little teenage room.
Doesn't sound like being back in control
I live in a smaller german city and I know my neighbours. Before I lived more suburban (though 10 minutes with the train into the city) and I knew none because most were old I was a student sharing a home with other students. Some complained about us being loud after 10pm.

The stereotype is meant as something positive, but I associate something negative with it. I grew up suburban and I just can't imagine ever moving back. It's so boring, dull and while there's more proximity, you are so bound to you environment. If you don't fit in the you have a problem. I didn't fit in later in school, I didn't get bullied or anything, but I just lacked people with the same interest. I found them in the city in the 10th grade, so I started to commute by train into the city every wednesday after school and on the weekends. They were weird, looked weird and interested in music, art and protecting the environment. I regularly feel asleep saturday night on the central station because I missed my train and had to wait hours. I understand the positive association but the only thing I associate with it is being locked in in an environment you have no control over because it is not by choice but by geographic proximity. I don't want parties with people on my block, I want parties with my friends. Preferably every weekend until the sun starts to rise again and I am exhausted but happy.

Writing this was very interesting for me, I never really tried to reflect why I so strongly despise the idea of moving again into something suburban.
I'm sort of morbidly fascinated by the equation in the American press of "China's Muslim population" with "China's Uyghur population". They're very different things.

Not necessarily, no. If your KPI's and bonus are properly lined up, that could be something for your manager to keep an eye on but you can't expect every day to be peak productivity.
They could also simply hire the ARM employees for a lot less than $40B over the near future.
Google had something similar to this as well couple of years back called Clip [1]. I really thought it was a great idea for people with kids and still do today.
