Web redirects are usually not called web hosting in the dns industry, even if it technically operate just like any website. It is more like an attached service for a customers dns.

It is similar how the web interface for email has technically nothing to do with the email infrastructure and email protocols, but as a service it is packaged together with email.
Perhaps more that times have changed. We used to have a strong commitment to the neoliberal ideal of a separation between state and business. The experience of nationalisation had also not been good (think Austen and BT). That’s changed and we are now in the world of “entrepreneurial states” for better or worse.

> Quadruply-segmented LRU. Four queues are maintained at levels 0 to 3. On a cache miss, the item is inserted at the head of queue 0. On a cache hit, the item is moved to the head of the next higher queue (items in queue 3 move to the head of queue 3). Each queue is allocated 1/4 of the total cache size and items are evicted from the tail of a queue to the head of the next lower queue to maintain the size invariants. Items evicted from queue 0 are evicted from the cache.
This reads like a hypothesis / creation fable. It's conceivable that some in power have intentionally leveraged identity politics to fracture an opposing voting bloc, but citation needed.
Safer than old cars, they compared with all cars including Teslas with and without autopilot. Assuming with autopilot engaged reckless driving is severely reduced and the small number of Tesla's on the road, it is not that impressive at all.

Teslas crashes are more lethal, which is expected considering all supporting structures are filled with lithium batteries.

They count accidents, which includes every little fender bender, on crashes with severe injury Tesla is closer to old cars. There is no EV in top 50 survivability cars at the moment.

So good news, you have less parking accidents with a Tesla and avoid some other stupid ones, but when you crash hard you will burn to death.

It is a good deal.

Presumably, the folk at the Académie Française¹.

Every couple of years they release a statement that causes a flurry of changes in the documentation of a few projects I've worked on. Always in really curious ways too, exchanging words that are common to French people in our industry with words uncommon to everyone.

I kind of appreciate the quirkiness of the whole thing.

This would depend on house prices. Where I live, you can buy a 2000 sq ft house for $300K or less. That's 1.3% increase in price to add sprinklers, and I would wager that 99% of homeowners would prefer not to spend $4K on this.

There's nothing inherently flawed about the product.

One can imagine lots of tweaks: higher price, lower payment to theaters--which probably means they have to in turn negotiate with distributors, premium to use the pass at peak times, etc. (Of course, it's an open question whether they have a viable product at that point.)

> React Flow enables you to build node-based applications

Also "node-based" doesn't mean the usual run-javascript-in-backend node, but the diagram nodes.
The right answers are leaf nodes—-either voters or consumers. If consumers act, intermediary institutions like banks will naturally follow. Ditto if the laws change.
This exact video had a big impact on my impressions of those companies as well, it's pretty amazing how long those views last.
This is very accurate. Anyone that watches the videos banned on YouTube, not shown by most media, and uploaded only in other sites, see just how much damage, looting and violence is occurring. Literally entires malls of hundreds of stores are getting destroyed each night.

Two dead in Tesla crash in Texas that was believed to be driverless
Yes, however the utility of doing so in Go is fairly limited. Go has "pointers" but doesn't have pointer arithmetic, and the big use case of pointer-to-pointer in C is to iterate over an array of pointers via pointer arithmetic. Personally I would call them "references" since I consider pointer arithmetic to be the thing that makes pointers pointers and not just references, but that's a personal opinion, not a universally-agreed-upon definition.
It looks that way until you try to put a lot of it in a bank or turn it into "big people money" aka capital. Roughly at that point governments would like to have some idea of who you are.
Fair comment but no one is suggesting that we'll lose access to CPU designs that work on older nodes so the point still doesn't really stack up.
Every person and institution has a right to decide what things they're willing to support with their money. That's why we have the expression "voting with your wallet".

If a bank decides not to invest in some given company or sector, that's not "public policy making". That's just the bank exercising their right to decide where to put their money. Indeed, they can't do anything less. Whether they invest or not, they are making a decision that has social impacts.

If the bank instead paid lobbyists to persuade politicians to create new rules (and I'm sure they do), that would be closer to "public policy making".

Also, this concept of "cancel culture" is absurd. People and companies have always risked falling from public grace if they say or do things that go against the values of the majority of the public.

Was it "cancel culture" when Studio 54 got shut down? Or when Tim Leary got fired from Harvard? Or when Ellen's sitcom got cancelled?

Right or wrong, each was merely the result of going against the grain. Today, the cultural middle has shifted, and so some groups are finding themselves in a position they're unaccustomed to: being in the minority. (Or more accurately: not being _consistently_ in the majority.)

But the consequences are no different than those faced by any minority, and this is healthy for society. It's never a good thing when one group has so much social leverage that they get to dictate the terms for everybody else. I would argue that today, there's no such thing as a majority group. We're all minorities to varying degrees, and we all need to learn how to get along. I think that's a net positive, albeit a very messy one.

Given how much less dangerous influenza is I would expect even half measures to have a marked effect. We don't need to stamp it out entirely, we just need to curb it. The shot helps, but so would wearing masks when you're obviously sick.

In 2019-2020 Alberta had 1,595 hospitalized and 41 deaths. This year Alberta had 0 cases of lab tested influenza. That's how much of an effect the current COVID restrictions and renewed awareness of the flu vaccine had on the virus. I'm sure just wearing a mask when you're obviously sick would help close that gap.
An interesting side aspect, assuming this is final:

Before the Arm acquisition materialized, Nvidia was quite present in the RISC-V space. All current Nvidia cards have at least one RISC-V chip on it.

So while their intended high performance use cases are not feasible yet, this could lead to Nvidia focusing on RISC-V again the medium term, which would definitely be beneficial.

Of course Nvidia can still pursue ARM based designs without owning the company.
Many modern steel plants already use electric arc furnaces originally developed for aluminum manufacture in the 30s and 40s.

There is no inherent reason not to collocate steel plants with plentiful renewable energy. As energy is one of the primary input costs to steel manufacture, it should be practical to develop “peaker” plants which take advantage of the midday energy cost dips due to solar.
For a language that has taken extreme measures to exclude generics because they are deemed to complex, this proposal is absolutely surprising to me. And I'm still not sure what practical benefit comes from it.
I would say no if only because it's easier to find talent that understands ARM than it is to teach talent about the nuances of your own single-platform instruction set.
That's really not true.

I like to point out Airflow as an example. It's still a complete nightmare to deal with and it has many steps for just packaging the application.

https://github.com/apache/airflow

I have less trouble packaging and running a 3 year unmaintained Maven Java application, than actively maintained Airflow. And let's not forget that I can target Java 8, without having to install Java 8 on my machine. (Which only adds to Python's complexity)
It shouldn’t be hard to use a PCIe GPIO card in a PC for bare metal programming or “in conjunction with third party OS such as MS-DOS(R) or Linux(tm)”, factory automation companies might still be doing exactly that. I think why those are not brought up often is cost.
> these companies will simply hollow ARM out (slash R&D, cut staff etc) to pump up the target’s value, before flogging it off or breaking it up.

What does "flogging it off" mean in this context?
Thanks for the feedback, I made some updates. Don't know how Primer slipped through...
Lock-in proponents bring their kool aid. Not impressed. Gaming industry is pretty messed up when it comes to lock-in. Everyone is paying this tax.
The current silicon chip shortage is showing just how dependent we are on chips, and while Arm doesn't have their own fabs, they are an important part of that ecosystem. There's a good chance that the current drought may play a role in US decisions on dealing with the China/Taiwan issue, if China shows aggression there is now a clear national security incentive for the US (and other countries, for that matter) to intervene and protect Taiwan, just like they did with oil for the last 40 years.

given that, it's entirely reasonable that the UK doesn't want ARM gutted and the IP shipped out of the country.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've worked on a small dedicated hardware/software team with a multi-year focus overcoming challenging technical obstacles. We certainly weren't flying a helicopter on a remote planet, but the closeness and shared vision were similar. They know what they did and they know that they did it together. While hugging and other demonstrative behaviors are wonderful and should be cherished, they are trivial compared to the internal feelings of accomplishment and gratitude to have been a part of such of an effort with such a talented team. Those feelings and their shared bonds will stay with them forever.

"Amoral" or just not convinced by the case made by climatologists for their predictions. Although many try to shut down all discussion of it, there are plenty of rational grounds for suspecting climate change related predictions are incorrect. People who believe that could invest in carbon-emitting industries without any cognitive dissonance or belief that they were being amoral, because they don't believe it's a big deal in the first place. That pushes the decision further downstream to the buyers of the power, and so on. It's a market based solution to making these decisions and weighing the evidence, which incorporates far more people and analysis power than a government department or political party can marshal. So this seems like fair game to me, or at least, preferable to the alternatives.

One of the things I think the Go tutorials don't make a big enough deal of is that Go is relatively explicit about allocations. := isn't just a shortcut for declaring variables, it's an allocation, and an error to use it when it doesn't allocate. var X Sometype isn't just a declaration, it's an allocation.

:= kinda smears the clarity by not allocating if you have a variable on the left that is already allocated, and there's some other places where it kinda smears things up, but at the core, Go makes you explicitly allocate.

My point was that there's nothing stopping the government (or anyone with guns really) from seizing your crypto assets. With fiat currency, it's a given circumstance.

It's pretty standard where I live in Ireland, to not be asked for references would be seen as unusual. As soon as an offer is made you would expect to be asked for the details of two people they could ask to to provide a reference.

That being said companies may ask for detailed references, but in most cases all they get back is a list of dates worked - as in your experience.

As for qualification requests, I've had those about 50% of the time and mainly with bigger more established companies or those in the finance sector. A lot of Fintech companies are be obliged by their clients to do full background checks on their employees.
That's really the amazing condescension in all of this that they're too self centered to see. Silicon Valley is trying to redefine global terms and symbols because it makes them feel better about a bad American political situation and history. They can't see the forest for the trees and they don't care, because at the end of the day they get to pat themselves on the back and virtue signal.

At work, we've committed entirely to Elm and it remains one of the most positive decisions to date. Developers who have never tried it have almost without exception become fans (perhaps especially OOP back-end types, interestingly).

There is a process called pyrolysis which basically distills any kind of plastic into oil / diesel fuel.

A number of things can be added to the process, such as pressure, vaccuum, and catalysators, to make it more efficient. It even works on old tyres! The rest is basically sludge or soot which allegedly also can be utilized in some way. It also emits "pyrolytic gases" (iirc) which I guess are bad? Toxic? Bad for the environment? Idk...

Kleidermacher is in my understanding the (current) male version which was historically the gender/ sex inclusive word. Interestingly Bäcker (the male term) used to be inclusive too (a long time ago) because the ending -er simply implied that there‘s a person who does something.
