The fact that this requires Java 16 just because the author didn’t want to write a single POJO seems kind of silly to me.

I also don’t think parsing doubles will ever be the bottleneck in any of my Java code. If it turns out it is, though...
"bug" vs "feature" is a silly debate about semantics until someone uses it as a justification to push back releasing a fix. Bugs get fixed immediately, but feature requests can wait.

And also, who says that mis-designed features aren't bugs? In this case, they designed a bug, and shipped it.

In C you have to think about lifetimes (and to a lesser extent types) at specific times, typically after the "make it work" step of writing code. Rust on the other hand forces you to think of these things from the start and this inhibits solving the actual problem first.

Now there's an argument the front loading these decisions may be beneficial overall but I don't find that compelling either. After the "make it work" stage there's thinking about performance, comments, logging, etc and you usually need to think about lifetimes as they change at this point as well, so front loading it has only added work overall.
It's pretty incredible that after years and years of searching, all what cancel-activists[0] could find against Stallman was

- Stallman reminding folks of the lack of key evidence in the allegations against Minsky.

- A graffiti on his door at MIT

- The fact he had a mattress in his office

- Some awkward social interactions he allegedly had (it's all anonymous, there's no way to know)

All from a blog-post.

>> Basically they were chemists, and their claims of fusion were based on misunderstandings of the physics.

That's an interesting interpretation. My interpretation at the time was that they are chemists and ruled out chemical reactions as the heat source. They concluded it must be physics. Physicists then said "It can't be nuclear, it must be chemical" - forgetting who was doing the experiment. They seemed really arrogant to me.

And here we are 30 years later with it unsettled.
The math might be a bit different for SF - there are a lot of local factors to keep in mind (like that 500 HOA + Homeowners seems steep to me for a property that isn't near EOL) - but the biggest different at the end of the day is that the 3300 you're paying into principal + interest is still your money (well minus the interest) when you rent all 3000 you're paying is essentially throwing money into the void.
The E obviously refers to the enterprise using it, not the "Enterprise-y-ness" of the software.
But if the contract states there are no competing customers, and talks about 4 different sites, I'd say most bases should have been covered.
Az then turning around, and using three of these sites exclusively for UK production (since it was 'first') kinda defeats that.

Then there is indeed a difference in contract law, where the UK is far more focused on the letter of the contract, while European law is more about 'what could have been done'.

In the middle of a pandemic there isn't much we can do against pharmaceuticals. In the mean while has Az delivered more than Moderna until now.
So, we should take what we can. Only thing we could blame the EC on is that we should not have based our strategy of vaccinating out on such an unreliable, inexperienced partner with a complicated biological process.
Looking back and keeping the Pfizer vaccin European would have been less naive, but we would have started these vaccins wars.
Will be interesting what the long term consequences are of having UK and US vaccinated two months sooner.
I don't think Europe will forget this.
I am already the oldest person on my team by a decade or two and still solving the hardest problems. The solutions don't depend much on tech as most tech can do the common things that a problem can decompose to. It depends a lot more on how the problem is conceptualized and broken down, separated and recomposed. Then there's tech that hasn't changed a whole lot, like SQL/transactions/isolation levels. Retooling with new syntax isn't that hard. The problem really is that the problems are not that interesting or challenging at most companies. I'm now writing Ruby+Sorbet that looks like the Java/Scala that I wrote about a decade years ago.
No, Docker Desktop is closed source, and if you download an older version it auto-updates.
Apparently the rest of the world, in particular many non-western nations, are not being hit as hard by covid as the US. So it makes sense to roll it out as fast as possible where people are getting the most lethal infections.
If all you get from static typing is runtime performance and correctness, your type system is not pulling its weight.

In any serious statically-typed language, the type system does real heavy lifting. In practice that means that libraries execute code at compile time that, in effect, generate the code you would otherwise need to write (again) yourself.

C, Pascal, and Go are examples of statically typed languages whose type system does only trivial work.
In Australia people rarely expect to profit when renting out. It's all about negative gearing to offset your income tax and sell the property for a profit later and move up the ladder.

So on one hand you could say the renters get a good deal but in the long run the upward price pressure makes it tougher for everyone.
I find myself going to page 2 more and more.
>You should look up some of the leaked videos on the Internet. There was in fact a huge spike in cases early on and people were dropping dead in the street.

Which is also weird because we all know Covid doesn't make people suddenly drop dead in the street.
Yeah, the problem is that Docker Desktop apparently downloads updates automatically in the background, and Sparkle by default apparently wants to kick off the install as soon as the download finishes.

Which of course punts the concern from "Docker Desktop is installing potentially-broken updates without my consent" to "Docker Desktop is consuming network bandwidth - which might very well be metered - without my consent" - that is, hardly an improvement.

If the Docker folks could not be actively hostile to user experience for two seconds, that would be great :)
I actually laughed a little at this one

> “you should not have made this”

... because that was 100% my initial reaction. I was like "oh shit, I just got internetted"

I bounced back pretty quickly... for a few reasons. I've been a consumer of podcasts for a couple years now.
I know what I like and I know what is missing for the demographic like me.

Further - I went and looked up the "podcast listener" demographic.

Turns out I'm pretty much the prototype. Older professionals in high income families, commuters.

The size of the market is currently around $10b and expected to grow at a 27.5% CAGR until 2027. https://menafn.com/1101605880/81-Billion-Worldwide-Network-F...

I'm confident that both podcasting has a market, that there is a niche I can serve appropriately. Phase 1 is the part I will do for free because it seems like so much fun... but I'm also going to try to use it as an opportunity to prove that I can accumulate enough resources to support the development effort on phase 2 (as Elon Musk would say)

In phase 2, I have further ideas about how to improve the monetization model for the back catalog. I'm not 100% sure if I am going to say it out loud yet, but since I'm going to spend to night compiling the feedback I've received from various sources into a github repo, I may go ahead and in the spirit of openness just say it out loud.

If spotify steals the idea then maybe the ask to hire me so I can help. (Or maybe one of the other any other hosting platforms decides they want to eat spotify's lunch)

While those theories will need testing, I figure that IF I write the scripts to automate the process of increasing the CPM of the back catalog, I can probably move to the next logical step, which is providing them in a SaaS model to other podcasters who make their living from it as Phase 3.

IF 1,2,& 3 clear ... then phase 4 is creating a new sort of marketplace model where advertisers are directly connected with the aforementioned mid to top tier podcasters.

Phase 5 is to combine it all into a single platform, expand into video and, to crush both spotify and youtube before me , and hear the lamentations of their ad managers.

I might not make it to phase 5 - but - you know, it's nice to plan out a few steps ahead. It isn't like I'm going to try and beat Musk to driving the conversion of humanity into the role of a space-faring species, but each phase is roughly 10x on the previous.

As much as some dude on the internet "yucking my yum" was a little jarring as the first comment, the bull case on this party is ~$100B.

In another fun story... I came pretty close to closing my first $500 in sponsorships today. "I know I'll ask my boss and get back to you" is often a "no" ... the dude I was talking to sounded so enthusiastic about the idea it really lifted my spirits.
That's not the only two options. You could have a system that is based on objective, non-holistic metrics, but does not put all the pressure on a single test, single point in a person's life.

Actually, most of adult working life is already like that: there's many potential job interviews, projects that you can compete to various level of success, etc. The "single test" typically only exists in systems of higher education.
On top of the fact that it's probably been fifty years since I've stepped foot in an A&P grocery. They were hardly a monopoly even then. I'm truly surprised that they were still a going entity in 2015.
Maybe '<decade/year> edition' would be better :)
But the market was invented by economics professors...

The vaccination rollout programme is very much NHS. Vaccination is something the NHS does. So that shouldn’t be surprising.

Believe Cummings point was that The Department of Health wasn’t in control as it is in terms of test and trace. So NHS + Cabinet office (and not DHSC’s normal red tape, funding models) = success.

However, I think “sources” in the vaccination task force have said Cummings is full of it.
So much this.

Everyone gets old. How can we not want a society that would take care of them, including some form of worthwhile employment?

It is an inherently selfish setup as one day you too will be old.

Edit: trying to clarify my thoughts/point.

I wrote that comment at the time; to add some context to that comment: removal of the "login to download" was shortly after the "Docker Enterprise" business went to Mirantis. While Docker started as a developer centric tool, focus shifted to Enterprise products (Docker Enterprise Engine, UCP, Docker Trusted Registry, Docker Desktop Enterprise). After the move of the enterprise products to Mirantis, Docker's focus went back to developer products.
In my view that vector points directly toward war. The only difference is magnitude, not direction.

I'm not sure I would push the analogy that far.

There are real world examples of ad tracking that are more similar. Bluetooth trackers in physical retail, digital billboards. For the TV if you're using Roku or similar they are probably running content ID and know what you are watching.
There's longstanding societal relief for debt - it's called bankruptcy. Economically, the right answer to unsustainable debt levels is repudiation. Put the next apartment in your significant other's name, sublet from a friend, etc.
Yeah..no. Stallman's language is as plain and direct as his intent. We're not talking about Richard Feynman lecturing on quantum electrodynamics at a physics symposium. Even a cursory reading of Stallman's blog posts on the subject make it clear that he wasn't simply questioning the status quo as some intellectual exercise or testing any hypothesis as a scientist, he was emotionally invested.

He would see stories in the media about pedophiles being arrested and would comment on those stories, expressing outrage that society considered sexual relationships between grown men and children to be a taboo or a crime. He believed it was possible for children to give consent for sexual relationships (a view that, to be fair, he retracted, and to be completely fair, he retracted in the least convincing way possible,) and that children should be trained for sexual relationships by adults.

And you've lost the plot - you made Stallman out to be a brilliant scholar, intellectual and world travelling bon-vivant, which just makes him look pathetic in hindsight given what happened to him. But the narrative is that he's a fragile, socially awkward autistic who barely understands basic human behavior and can't operate in the cold, cruel world, and who shouldn't be held accountable for his words or behavior. Isn't that right? Isn't that supposed to be where the cult of Stallman is circling the wagons?

Please try better with your next troll account.
... and rent-seeking!
Wow. Autoupgrading is such a rookie mistake that I'm shocked that anyone at Docker would approve this tactic. Auto-upgrading and breaking environments is a sure-fire way of sowing deep seeds of mistrust and would force lots of companies to move off Docker.

That's a decision that needs to be completely reversed, and the executives that approved that need to be dismissed immediately.
More traffic more ledds and more sales
Hey, I found your website on the second page of Google. Looking at your website, it has good content and is very well designed, but there is a problem of not appearing in the search engines as much as your site deserves. I found this tool that will help you analyze the SEO tricks your competitors are using to rank on the first page of Google. So you can leverage this information to get a better place than your competitors, which will ultimately lead to more traffic, more leads, and more sales. For more information on this tool, you can visit their website >> link
Three technical reasons:

1) Long distance communications require much more powerful transmitters/receivers, which also makes it hard to design for high data rate. 10 Gbps ethernet is only just getting popular for consumer electronics, while 10 Gbps USB and video have been around for a very long time. It's not just market forces, it's inherent in the physics of the interface IC design. It also impacts power consumption; a 10 Gbps ethernet PHY takes a lot more power than a USB3.1 hub (by like, 10x per port).

2) Ethernet is galvanically isolated. This takes up a huge amount of space, both volume and PCB area, and makes it much more difficult to provide power. Galvanic isolation is important for robustness across variable electrical environments, but isn't that important for devices in the same room, and especially not on the same AC circuit.

3) The connector is optimized for cost and easy installation in the field, but it's not particularly durable or electrically robust (locking tab is delicate, can't be overmolded easily, not electrically shielded most of the time, huge transmission line stubs, etc.).

I can definitely envision a world where everything used maybe two standards, perhaps Ethernet for long distance and Thunderbolt for short, but there are lots of valid reasons for differentiation. There will always be tradeoffs. In the imaginary two-standard world, you wouldn't want to pay for a 20 Gbps Thunderbolt controller in your mouse.
Apple Adds FaceTime Framework to Apple TV/HomePod Amid Speaker and Screen Rumors
Yeah, and honestly "niche" is a strong word. Sure nobody is going to MIT for theater, but they have a great reputation across most STEM fields as well as in subjects like econ, business, philosophy, etc. When I think of niche I think more of a place like Juliard.

I also think it's even arguable that MIT has more prestige than Harvard - of course this will depend how you're defining prestige, but people definitely assume high intelligence when they hear a student goes to MIT in a way they don't for Harvard. Which I have to imagine is at least somewhat explainable by the admissions differences.

Caltech is a much smaller school and is maybe a better example of a school that's underrated by people who don't know better? But for any reasons that prestige would actually matter I doubt Caltech students have any problems either.
Presumably a better understanding of the origins of the 2019 virus would be useful for predicting the likelyhood of a similar outbreak from the same source, or allow people to alter practices to reduce that likelyhood.

Yes, I would expect that at a company where managers make 120k.
The concept you are looking for is "reasonable expectation".
I learned C on it. Back then it was a very Unix-like environment, running on a PC that could boot from a floppy and compile stuff.

Only later I learned how well designed and rock-solid it is.
Huh, I remember a certain "conspiracy group" that was demonized and declared a terrorist organization trying to think more deeply about a theory like this. Now a mainstream media outlet publishes this and nobody bats an eye. Pun intended. ;)

The hypocrisy is strong with this one, Luke.
My long held contention - which I have repeated in this forum many times and wrote into a formalized blog posting 12 years ago[1] - is that flat rate data service offerings pit the provider against the consumer in an antagonistic relationship.

Which is to say: the provider has a vested interest in minimizing your usage and incurred costs which runs directly counter to the consumers desire to use as many resources as possible. This antagonistic relationship leads to all manner of dysfunctions and bad patterns.

When I see serious businesses "enhancing engagement" with facebook pixels, I think that perhaps that is one more side effect of that antagonistic provider/customer relationship.

HOWEVER, it turns out that the tracking code was on the B2 side of things - the people-paying-money side of things - and not on the who-will-let-me-upload-movies-forever side of things.

So my sense was wrong.

I was suggesting that this might not be as brand damaging - and trust eroding - as my parent suggested. After all, both sides of that unlimited flat rate storage relationship are pretty dysfunctional. If this was on the B2 side of things then I take it back - it's probably quite damaging.

Regardless: I stand by my disdain - and continue to warn against - flat-rate service offerings. You want your provider to happily enable you to use more of their product.

Sweet so maybe I’ll be able to get a big enough payout to afford an entire can of duster.
I don't think LENR is possible, but I'd love to be wrong and I do think that some money and energy should be spent investigating it.

What I find interesting is some phenomena that was clearly present in some of these demonstrations - even if it wasn't LENR. The anomalous results are worth investigating because there may be unknown physics lurking there, but anything related to CF is scientifically taboo.
If you still wanted to use containers, podman is a great drop-in replacement for docker.

Heroku's always nice and simple for getting stuff out there.

Vagrant + a provisioner of your choice is still good alternative and works solidly for local development if you want to keep developing away from the local filesystem.

There are quite a few options that don't involve docker at all, it just takes a little research to remind yourself that there's a world outside of the one presented by docker :/

3HP is too much for a 120V/20A circuit for sure. Only magic shop vacuums can get >1.5HP out of a standard 120V branch circuit.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a compelling failure mode, given that thermal protector. Perhaps when the rotor locks, the thermal protector has a slower curve than the saw's wiring (which is assumed to be protected by the circuit breaker's curve). I would hope the saw wiring would be a bit oversized such that it too was protected by the motor thermal protection, but without doing an engineering analysis of the saw itself, you don't really know.

Unknown unknowns are my real point though - you're operating outside of the electrical code. Same as if you wired up a workbench of 5-15 receptacles with 10ga and put a 30A breaker on it - realistically it's going to be fine, but we avoid doing this. All those different NEMA plug sizes exist for a reason. 5-15/5-20 is really an anomaly where you can plug the smaller into the bigger, and even there I've got to wonder if eg old table lamps on a nice stiff 20A circuit are a good idea, or if they just haven't been focused on because they're statistically unimportant (see also: strings of Christmas lights with receptacles at the end).

FWIW I'd probably do the same thing you did, but at the cost of making sure I unplugged the saw whenever I was done using it until I made a proper permanent circuit. But that is not professional advice!
You’re talking about the same group that put Docker desktop behind a login wall. I’m certainly not surprised.
Congrats on the launch!

It seems like you're pushing for video-chat-as-a-hangout, which I like a lot! My company has been doing a modified version of this for about a year and we like it a lot.

Can you talk some more about what makes your product specifically better at serving that need than existing video chat apps? Is the value that good text chat is available in the app rather than needing to use a different app, or is there something else that makes it better at the "hanging out" use case?
