Seeing one image once will have an impact but probably allow you to still lead a normal life after that. Spending all day looking at that sort of thing over an extended period of time is much more likely to have serious long-lasting effects.

I don’t think there’s a magical line where it suddenly has an impact on mental health, and the details will vary from person to person, but there is most certainly a point where you go from functioning adult to justifying a formal diagnosis of PTSD or something similar.
To me, I don't think it's so much about "change" as having your normal day to day experience being clouded by so much emotional pain, conditioning, trauma, rationalization, etc. If you can take a step back from all that, you can understand your deeper feelings.

Theoretically there’s a protocol standard, and every client implementation is equal. Functionally, whatever Geth does is the actual standard because a supermajority of nodes run Geth.
I started upgrading some of the Docker images from Java 8 to Java 16 at work without touching the compiler. The changes I had to make to the code were fairly minimal, bump the version on a couple libraries and change the JVM flags on the Helm chart. The title is a bit clickbaity, but I agree with the premise for containerized workloads because the difference is huge.

The faster startup is nice, but the biggest advantage is in the memory usage. G1 past Java 8 actually releases memory back to the OS instead of keeping it forever. In addition, I've seen applications use 1/7th of the heap space after upgrading. This translates to being able to significantly lower the memory limits for applications without worrying about OOMing. I haven't moved enough services to see the difference in CPU, but it looks promising there as well.

Putting the Mavic 2 Pro's 1" camera onto the Air 2S is very nice, but the feature I find most interesting is ADSB support. This, I presume, is to comply with the FAA requirement that drones broadcast their aircraft ID, lat, long, altitude, course, speed, and -- most concerning to drone pilots -- the location from which they took off. Someone has sued the FAA over this for privacy and safety concerns. I don't know how far fetched it is but one concern is that Karens or would-be drone thieves can just scan for drones broadcasting ADSB info and then go harass/burglarize the remote PIC based on the info the drone is broadcasting.

EDIT: The ADS-B feature on this drone has nothing to do with the upcoming FAA requirement but is only for avoiding manned aircraft. From a different article: "The DJI Mavic Air 2 came with AirSense (in models sold in North America), which detects the signal from manned aircraft equipped with ADS-B, or Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast. If those aircraft are getting within range of an Airsense-equipped drone, the pilot will see a warning. This is a tremendous safety feature, and it’s appearing again in the Air 2S."

I thought the same thing at first. But Apparently there are newer versions of java. For those who learn java in school and don't much touch it again, it can be quite confusing.

It seems java was relatively stable from 2006 to 2016, where there where three versions. But instead of slowing down, there have been 8 since then. They`re on v16 now?!

...I doubt I`ll ever code in java again.
Yes, and even for the ununionized ones, say meat packing facilities, they can get their boss for a word or go to the can when needed.

This is called "judging a book by its cover".

Merely making assessments of an article after only reading a fraction of it (or the title!) is bad enough, but spreading those misunderstandings to other people is even worse - not only are you harming their understanding, but you're also misrepresenting the author's points.

In addition, nowhere near "half" of the article is praising Java 8 - the very first paragraph says "This is one of the reasons why Java 8, almost 7 years after its first release, is still widely used.", which is barely "praise", and then the rest (>80%) recommends that you not use it.
Title should be changed to “You can’t afford to continue running Java 8”

> We hire people with strong stomachs and a strong sense of duty.

It's difficult to have a strong sense of duty for the megacorp that doesn't even bother to employ you directly, but pays another megacorp which then pays you peanuts. When you don't even get to have the context of what you're doing, don't get to follow up on whether what you did was meaningful, whether the perp was caught and tried, whether the child was saved.

It's difficult to have a strong stomach if you don't see this as an occiasional element of your generally tame and meaningful work, but see hours upon hours, days upon days of some of the worst shit that the human race is capable of.

If it’s a civic issue, the government could offer them subsidies. Economics are an existential issue for news organisations. It’s unreasonable to foreclose them viable business models on the basis of equal access.
The title thesis here (which is that upgrading to the latest JVM from an older JVM will save a lot of money) isn't well-supported by the article, which doesn't really make claims stronger than "performance is somewhat better".

There's no breakdown of how much better in terms of how much money you'd save based on the number of servers you're running.

Conversely, there's no estimate of how much a migration from Java 8 to Java 15 or 16 would cost in developer time.
Apparently it ruffled a few feathers too...
This is not true, and I can say that because I work on Geth. We take great care to ensure that all clients behave according to the specification, and Geth has had similar faults in the past.

The best answer is an explanation in their own words, the French whitepaper on defense and national security: https://media.nti.org/pdfs/15-Fr.pdf . "Nuclear attack submarines carrying cruise missiles are a priority. Due to their stealth and virtually unlimited range, they represent versatile strategic systems that can be used for intelligence, protection of the nuclear submarines [here they are referring to their ballistic missile submarines], escort of the aircraft carrier or special operations. The White Paper sets a target of six submarines."

In addition, they can be used on their own to launch strikes against high value targets (things like the chemical weapons facilities in Syria). They are also very useful in the Indo-Pacific to deter China (France still has territorial possessions in southeast Asia): https://warontherocks.com/2021/04/how-franco-australian-coop... .

I used Python's turtle module to show my nephew the basics of programming. I even got to show him what "refactoring" was, by having the turtle draw a part of the picture and then abstracting that into a function that got called when drawing the whole picture.
A lot of people are posting links to microphones/headphones/stream-decks/etc... My personal experience from a series of podcasts at home and with 2 kids, a super duper mic would not solve my problem.
A lot of the audio issues you see at events and streams like these stem from bg noise, echo, no pop-filter, stream lag. It's usually a case of repair, not replacing equipment. New microphones bring risk potential with excessive gain, headphones can make you too self-conscious or focus on the wrong thing.
Like, rather than spending X amount on a new setup, just use some tools/plugins in post - most can be ran through OBS live, despite initially seeming like a post-production technical thing.
I lost a lot of time repairing my audio in various tools when software plugin bundles like this - https://accusonus.com/products/audio-repair/era-bundle-stand... -gave me a way better recording upgrade, as opposed to a new mic.
I stay on Firefox because of UBO and containers, but when I discovered tree-style tabs I'll likely never leave.

Edge has an ok-ish implementation of vertical tabs but it still has a ways to go to match tree-style tabs.
It remains a major issue without end because there are no punitive consequences.

Facebook could out, shame, and be a significant aid to prosecution of the individuals who post illegal and obscene content.

But there are no regulations compelling them to do so.
There's no business incentive to do it themselves.

And maybe most important, it's very clear that Facebook has no ethics in their own internal culture to take a stand on principle.
His work wasn't objectively easier - he worked hard but on his own schedule. To be fair, I am measuring quality of life by what's important to me (rather than any standard metric), but there is a fair bit of overlap. The only weak point was healthcare which has since improved but a healthy lifestyle meant he never needed to visit hospitals.
All things considered, I would rather be him than an Amazon warehouse worker.
> SQLlite is awesome right up to the point where it corrupts everything ... At that point you need to have working backups

I don't want to discover new content or follow some trend. At least sequester those things off to some tab or setting or something.
Do you think the average man is going to rely on a news provider like Reuters after this change?

My father reads a lot of third party news but actually fact checks on Reuters. A lot of friends and colleagues skip third party news and read directly from Reuters, because it is free. With this change, I doubt a great many of them will continue with Reuters as a source, and would rather stop at a third-party localized news outlet.

Reuters provides facts, and very little opinion. People believe that facts ought to be free, and only worthy opinions are worth paying for.

For the Serializable isolation level:

I haven't looked into the codebases of Wordpress or Joomla to figure out how they do things, but I've certainly written code myself to listen and retry for these Postgres exceptions (and that code does occasionally fire).

That beings said these errors are fairly rare in practice because of how fine-grained Postgres's concurrency is and depend pretty heavily on your access patterns. It's possible for many production applications with certain access patterns and without too much load to go almost their entire lifetime without seeing these errors (or only seeing them when their users do something pathological).

MVCC ensures that concurrent reading isn't blocked by both reading and writing (not both concurrent reading and writing) and that retrying is fine. If you concurrently read and write to the same piece of data MVCC can't help you without some sort of retry (because that would require basically omniscience in figuring out what the proper merge strategy is).
The jury is out on that. There are mushrooms that infect ants' brains and make them travel to a high place before the ant's head explodes, so that the spores are carried further by the wind.

Can we point to any data showing that mushrooms or acid (for example) are more dangerous than, say, a coronavirus vaccine or driving a car?

Because generally speaking, unless something is concretely documented as dangerous we don't just assume it is dangerous "because". Especially when that "because" is because of a well-documented, decades-long propaganda campaign by the federal government.

Schmidhuber is salty because he believes he invented the ideas behind deep learning and has never gotten the proper credit. So, yes, he wants the Turing award to go to him.

It's not an argument without merit. His work on LSTM and related ideas were really important to the field. And, as with all heroes in science, the deep learning triumvirate of Bengio, Hinton, and LeCunn get most of the credit but were building on lots of existing work from researchers who don't get their due. But, as with all awards, you need to draw the line somewhere.
You don't need _no_ errors, you just need low errors.

Aside from Common Voice, there are also a lot of resources at openslr. Also, the amount of data you need is often vastly overestimated, with advances in pretraining and transfer learning and the fact that most languages don't have as terrible an orthography as English.

There's also the literal "can't afford" part. I assume there's a pretty high correlation of sites running Java 8 that are running Oracle's java.

The license change they made in April 2019[1] means that you either need to get off of the Oracle provided java anyway, or start paying them.

And, if you have to test/confirm that an OpenJDK release works, why move from Oracle Java 8 to OpenJDK Java 8? Go ahead and jump forward since you have to regression test anyway. It is higher effort, but you have the hood open already.

The thing is that money without involvement is poison to collective movements, besides a certain point. Money and involvement is much better.

If all you want is to distribute, then sure. Collective movements aren't even the best at straight distribution, so someone trying to maximize the marginal utility of their dollar probably won't even donate. But collective action is generally not just about distribution, and moreso about fixing the structure of society to make distribution from rich donors unnecessary.

I think Techcrunch is similar w.r.t. Verizon but, given Reuters didn't acquire Reuters, this seems more unusual.
It's a numbers game, and you're overlooking the other side of it. The automakers have to engineer to a very low probability of failure because they deal in large numbers. It's true a person in their garage can't match that engineering - but they don't have to. They only have to get to "reasonably" safe not "absolutely" safe.

It's just like people putting turbochargers on their 90s Hondas. Naysayers could claim it's a fool's errand because if Honda, with all their engineering resources, didn't feel they could add turbocharging to their engines in the 90s and have it be cost effective and reliable enough, surely someone in their garage can't do it? But what they overlook is that if 5% of one of Honda's mass market cars blew an engine that would be a disaster, whereas a 5% chance an individual blows his own engine, which he may be able to replace for $500 to $1500: that may be a risk an individual is willing to take that a carmaker cannot.

Ask HN: Good topics to “talk about coding” to a marketing department?
I'm a full stack dev (one of two) at my company. I work mostly with the Marketing dept and they have asked me to do a quick five minute talk "about coding" so that the team can in some way understand what I do.

This is about talking about interesting subjects, it's not me justyfying myself.
Something is alien somewhere, and as others noted, for Windows specifically I couldn't tell you what native is. On Linux there's just GTK and Qt, but the count is far higher on Windows these days. I have a Qt app that blends in imperceptibly well in my eyes, while some of MS own software stands out.

Point is: there is no such thing as native.
