Awful story without that detail.
> JRE/JDK8 had a very public, nasty license change during one of the late releases (200+ or something) that quite literally had a popup on people's computers stating commercial use of Oracle JDK would require payment to Oracle going forward.

Nope. It was neither nasty nor a change. JDK 8, is out of the ~5 year free public updates period, just like all JDK versions before it. The only difference from the past is that extended support is now cheaper.

The reason people see the popup that they hadn't before has nothing to do with any license change but with the mere fact that the JRE is now discontinued (and replaced with jlink runtimes). In the past, when 7 was out of public updates, people got a popup to update to 8. But 8 was the last ever JRE version, there's nothing to upgrade to, so people just got a popup that it's out of free public updates.

> That's quite an extreme change, and set off quite a panic in the Java world.

I don't know who panicked and why, but all JDK versions have always been out of a free public update period after about 5 years. I wouldn't call the drop in support prices an "extreme change," but I'm sure it's a welcome one.

> This is when Red Hat, AdoptOpenJDK, Azul and others stepped into the limelight with this LTS release time-sharing agreement.

First of all, none of those companies offer an 8 JRE, because OpenJDK was not yet open-source in version 8, and OpenJDK 8 doesn't have the JRE (it's missing Applets and Web Start, for example, the very things people need a JRE for).

Second, there is no such agreement. Oracle passes the leadership of backport projects of old releases when a new release comes out to whoever steps up. AdoptOpenJDK, by IBM, are barely involved
with OpenJDK at all, and aren't in the same bucket as Azul and Red Hat, which do make significant contributions to OpenJDK.

> The reason AdoptOpenJDK, Red Hat's OpenJDK port, Azul and others are gaining so much ground these days is directly a result of the changes Oracle consciously made.

All of those are support programs for an open-source project developed, for the most part, by Oracle; they're not ports. Everyone is gaining ground mostly because support prices are lower and many have yet to upgrade past 8.
This is a classic mechanic for this genre.

A comment I made on this when it was posted a few days ago:

I am surprised that this was regarded as a close decision. I guess a lot depends on wording, but when one person is predicting the dollar will be worthless, and the person in the role of judge claims that given global economic uncertainty, it's a "close" question, I wonder if they're just saying that to be diplomatic.

Obviously there's a lot of uncertainty, but one way to think about it, is that it can get so much worse than it currently is. And it seems like the predictions being wagered over were pointing to the "so much worse". I think the same holds for the environment, and for the proposed war between rich and poor.

I get the temptation to treat those as close, because there's tensions that you could imagine leading to some worst case scenarios. And so one might want to acknowledge the tension, and you want to put that acknowledgment into some sort of partial credit. But I think that way of thinking gets all confused and hair splitty, and comes from a place of thinking everything's a trick question, and not wanting to be perceived as overlooking nuances.

Anyhow, credit to all parties involved for formalizing their discussion and getting a bet out of it. I think those kinds of conversations are valuable, and I think it helps to get people thinking about what it takes for beliefs to be true over the long run.
Love to know how/ why this got pushed out. If it's a rogue engineer, a mistake, or what exactly.

Regardless, you can't put the cat back in the bag.

Economy - "Good or bad"

Environment - "Good or bad"

Wealth distribution - "Good or bad".

If you're betting, someone has to get 2 or more out of 3. But that could be anyone, including complete idiots. So this doesn't by itself tell you anything.

Most of the "bad" would be vaguely "left" positions but they could vary from the left of the NYT to any number of extreme positions as well as including general pessimists.

So at this level, "could be anything".

> People do not fight for the protection of reproductive resources. The peaceful way birth rates fell around the world these days is proof of that.

People have fought for a number of reasons, material resources AND reproductive resources are usually key to those. Historically, raiding for woman and resources has been a constant. A big tribe is a safe tribe, more women is key. Even in modern times, you can see the pressure in expensionist/aggressive societies for women to have more children.
Cyberpunk on Stadia is the PC version, it's just running on hardware in a server farm somewhere, rather than under your desk. Afaik they didn't make any meaningful Stadia specific changes to it.

Obviously it depends on how well your local hardware compares to Stadias server farm too.

The PC and Stadia versions are much better than the PS4 and Xbox One versions though - those do not run well at all.

I suspect the actual PS5 and Xbox Series X versions will be relatively similar to the PC/Stadia version, but they haven't been released yet - you can only play the last gen console versions via backwards compatibility.
We only run the humidifier once in a while (if someone is sick or it's really dry) and we've done well with a cool-mist + cheap distilled water (nearby water store). Distilled water simply doesn't go bad, so we buy many gallons at a time and it also serves as a disaster prep item.
The first month here of 2021 in the US has left me a little concerned about the stability of our society.
I haven't looks deeply into Meshtastic's repeater mode, but it runs on the same hardware as regular nodes. (None of my current personal experimental use cases call for repeaters.)

What I do recall is it can "repeat" encrypted "channels" by just replaying the encrypted packets without having any keys to read them (I think there's some very minor metadata in the unencrypted part of the packets, perhaps just a hop count?)

Also note that "channels" in Meshtastic are not frequencies like in typical UHF terminology - but pre shared encryption keys. I _vaguely_ recall maybe they get used to seed freq hopping algorithms (but I might be misremembering that).

I think the big difference between "repeater nodes" and regular nodes is that the repeater settings shut down the GPS because its unnecessary power draw (on the assumption you know where you installed a repeater node), and participate in the mesh in a "hidden" way, so they don't show up as members you could communicate with.

Ultrasonic just sprays all the disolved minerals across your room. You won't notice it at first, but about 2 or 3 weeks into using the device, you'll find plenty of "white dust" all over your room.

In my experience, you get a smelly bacteria-infested humidifier if you keep using it for a few days. You need to regularly rinse ultrasonic humidifiers... or really any humidifier at all.

> With fiat interest rates at record lows, why not borrow fiat instead and use it to buy crypto?

I just had a look and compared Gemini's calculator of lending, compared to Zopa's (UK p2p lender) calculator and, for a £10k loan, you'd be paying ~£500 in interest at Zopa (~14% APR), where Gemini claims you'll be getting $1.7k in interest (based on $11k lent and Filecoin's ~7% interest).

My guess is Gemini's calculator is either purposefully or accidentally broken, or I'm missing something.

Google doesn't know how to compete. They're used to just releasing something and having hundreds of millions of customers overnight. It seems like if that doesn't happen, the leadership immediately blames the product rather than themselves.

This is the main reason I hate Google. They're one of the largest corporations in the world, they have immense resources and power to move the human race forward. Yet they don't. Some might attribute it to laziness, or stupidity. And maybe it's both, but those are symptoms, and the root cause is the lack of competition allowed to fester by the flaccid noodle that is our government.

Break them up already!

My understanding (as someone who doesn't run nor code for Darwin, yet at least) is that it's totally possible to use the microkernely features in userspace right up until you need to do a syscall, and even then you can have a task that translates port messages to traditional syscalls.

I guess I care less about a microkernel's advantages for kernel development, than it having non-broken IPC :P

This is complete BS. In our unequal society, some people have 100s of potential partners waiting in line for them while for others, they will never get a single chance in their entire lifetimes. Same with career opportunities. Either you're rich and have more opportunities every single day than you can possibly fathom or you don't have a single good opportunity in your entire lifetime.

What's more tragic about it is that it has increasingly little to do with merit or hard work and increasingly more to do with dumb luck. It's all social networking; but that's totally random. People are only selecting friends and partners based on capital these days, not based on any other meaningful characteristic. People are just appendages to the capital... Capital is the agent. People are replaceable.

You can thank the reserve banks for that.

It's a laziness trap, but it has become a lifestyle for some. I don't agree with it, but it exists.
Agree. I think social technology has been an unmitigated disaster. I appreciate the engineering technology that has improved our infrastructure and environment. Air is cleaner, pollution is lower, food is plentiful. Cars and almost all other machinery are more efficient and more reliable. Medicine is better; things that used to be death sentences are either managable or more treatable. But compared to the 1980s, I'd take the social environment then vs now without blinking.

It may not have destroyed society (yet), but it seems clear to me that what began as a way to make life simpler and more efficient and to solve previously unsolvable problems has morphed into a dystopia of surveillance capitalism and dark patterns.

The promise of tech was that we could bend it to our will to do what we want. Instead, over the last decade, we have aimed these tools at ourselves in order for companies to extract as much value from humans as possible. Then again, maybe that was the thing we were trying to do all along anyway.

But I find myself here in 2021, 15 years into an engineering career, looking at the amount of effort I have to spend just to get my devices to work for me and not let my life be absorbed by whatever company I decide to interact with.

I have to lock down my browsers, run pi-hole and out-bound application firewalls, use email forwarding services to mask my address, check my credit reports on a regular basis because a dozen of the services I have used have been breached. Change and manage passwords and TOTP tokens. I have to opt-out of mailing lists, set up burner accounts, answer phone calls as to why I tried to place an order online behind a VPN and how that was suspicious and my order is being cancelled. My car is on its last legs and I cringe at the prospect of even looking at a newer model-year vehicle, because it will almost certainly be connected to the internet and try and extract as much information about me, and the devices I interface with it, to be sold to who knows where.

What was wrong purchasing media and curating your own collection? How did we get from "Rip. Mix. Burn" to "Spotify wins patent to surveil users’ emotions to recommend music"? Why does my HP printer require an account to scan documents locally? Why does my f*king Philips S7000 razor need a smartphone app to change its sensitivity settings? Why does my goddamn fridge have an operating system?

Was it worth it? It seems the thing technology helps me do the most these days is avoid all the terrible things about technology.
It would be good to dismantle all the dark money in politics, in the meantime using their own weapon in a way that has benefits is probably better than letting the Murdoch and Kochs run rampant.
I share the experience of parent.

My startup ages ago wasn't big enough to have perf issues with mongo, but I certainly experienced data loss (ore wiredtiger).

A company I worked for (with the most capable team of DevOps I've seen in my career, incidentally) eventually moved from self hosting mongo to atlas, hoping to ease the pain. This was already a few years after wiredtiger came out and fix a lot of issues.

Performance problems kept happening and we just started switching to postgres.

At my new job, DevOps people keep complaining about our mongo clusters on atlas.

It's again, terrible perf and occasional weird issues.

We did a disk upgrade and the cluster took 3 days to move all the replica from starting up (and replicating data) to running. During those three days we were running with one less replica and everything was to slow. A complete nightmare.

Adding another replica wouldn't have solved anything because it would have taken a day to finish booting.

They've been trying to migrate off mongo for years but there is never time, as usual.

GitHub Discussions: Bringing the Open-Source Community Closer Together
Ah. It makes sense now.
Here's some back of the envelope calculations.

The Raptor engine uses a propellant mixture (methalox = liquid methane + liquid oxygen) that is slightly fuel rich. In other words, the reaction resultants are not just CO2 and H2O, but CH4 as well. Since CH4 is a very potent greenhouse gas (the EPA says it's 25 times more potent than CO2), this makes a difference.

Anyway, here's the numbers: the mass of the propellant is about 500 tons, and the mass of the equivalent CO2 emissions is about 650 tons per flight.

For comparison, the humankind puts about 30 billion tons of CO2 in the air every year. A Boeing 777 flight puts about 500 tons on a long haul trip.
