While formulas are definitely code in a general sense, 'code' the Excel-verse generally refers to VBA code embedded in the workbook.

VBA's potential as an attack vector results in it being unavailable or heavily restricted in many corporate environments through stuff like Group Policies[1]. And I've worked with some clients whose IT goes a step further and completely blocks sending or receiving emails with .xlsm[2] attachments.

Since lambda-defined logic is all formula-based, it's not considered 'code' in that sense and can be used and passed around as a standard Excel file without any of the VBA-oriented restrictions. So you can approach your Excel workbook more like a programming project, centrally defining your complex logic once and referencing it elsewhere every time you want to use it. This is super helpful for audibility and maintenance, while staying within the bounds of what'll be applicable/usable across any Excel environment.

Indeed.

You do NOT write an article talking about "dark bytes" and a 70% "not useful" piece of binary for an Open Source project.

Specially one such as Golang where you can easily reach out to the creators at https://groups.google.com/g/golang-dev to ask for help understanding what your experiment tools can't explain...

Eg.
"""
Hey guys I am doing some digging with "such and such" tools and found that 70% of my binary size has no explanation. BTW this binary is Cockroach DB, an well known program in the Go ecosystem.
How can I find out what are those bytes for?
Is there any documentation about it, other than the source code itself?
Or maybe some tooling that explains it?
Or some other set of tools I should be using instead or on top of my current setup?
"""

I mean... there is no defense possible after writing such an article IMHO. Why didn't you ask first?

Having said that, when you deviate from the ubiquitous C standards for calling conventions and binary format layout, that comes with a price. I totally get that Go had to take such path, because Go binaries embed a non trivial runtime dealing, at the very least, with goroutines & GC support. But the price is there nonetheless: As you are not using a standard, you cannot rely on pre-existing tooling or documentation. You have to write your own.

It is understandable that writing such binary dissection documentation or tooling (or both) might not be a top priority compared to other more pressing matters for the Go Language. But this kind of thing becomes technical debt and as such, the longer you take to pay it, the more expensive it becomes. For instance:
- This happened, and might have damaged the Go Language reputation, at least temporarily for some people.
- I am surprised how could the Go team (or community) achieve improvements at all in the binary size work without tools to properly dissect binaries or detailed documentation. I am guessing it relied on the original programmers of those bits to have a very clear idea of the binary layout uploaded in their brains, so they did not need to re-grok all the sources again... with time that becomes more and more difficult, people forget stuff, move to other projects, etc.

I think it would be wise to prioritize this somehow. If the Go team cannot take it for now, maybe they can promote it as a good Go community project to be done ASAP, and promise to help the takers with all info and reviews needed.

Or maybe the article writers should take up the challenge, to fully redeem themselves ;-p
I think it's fair to say cars today are packed with more and more full blown cpus since 2010 onwards and so much of it it just junk. Maybe partially due to safety regs like mandatory backup cameras but android auto and car play? Notice how difficult it is to get aftermarket android auto (in my experience). Why can't it just hook up to my cell phone? But to be fair I am totally shooting from the hip here, and the article isn't making it clear which chips are in short supply. But as some other commenters pointed out, if it is really purely a shortage, why don't they just jack up the price. These are luxury brand cars I don't think consumers aren't willing to pay.

Have you heard of the automotive right to repair initiative from 2012? Why do you think such a thing was necessary? And guess the main method used to circumvent right to repair automotive laws that were passed in the USA? More complex electronics.
Given the competition for fab capacity at TSMC, I'm not so sure Apple would want to use that capacity to supply servers. If things were less tight in that department I'd agree the time is right.

I just bought (co-bought) a Model Y, and and the Supercharger network meant that other electric cars were non-starters. Hyundai and Kia, for example, have Model Y competitors, but when I was looking at them, both directed would-be buyers to PlugShare.com for for non-local charging information: I invite anyone to look at that solution, and then look at the Supercharger solution.

I also live in an apartment building, and my building is supposed to install 240v chargers sometime in the next few months. Most of the buildings around me already have them, mostly operated by Chargepoint, but a few by Blink: the change from "can't own an electric car in an apartment building" to "most apartment buildings have chargers" is happening and happening faster than many thought. Once people get used to charging cars at home, as a primary solution, I doubt they're going to want to go back to gas stations.

The best ads for electric cars are the cars themselves. Most of my local friends have driven mine.
Your own link has several studies with numbers in the same ballpark as what I cited. Here's the CDC study: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e3.htm
Solaris has had a notion called an "agent thread" for a long time. Basically a debugger can attach to a process and start an "agent thread" in the victim process to run text that is sent to the agent thread to run. This has been used for all sorts of magical features like redirecting a running process' standard I/O handles.

This is sufficiently hard to use that it was roundly hated. What you really want is a whole, parallel linker-loader environment in the agent thread so you could say "load this shared object and call this function in it with these arguments".

4chan really is the ultimate example of what happens to unmoderated free speech zones. It really was better, once upon a time.

Unfortunately, it's hard to cite 4chan as an example when talking about the merits of unrestricted free speech vs. moderation/curation since most people think it was always that bad.

> Blenders licensing is a deterrent. Very few people want to deal with GPL.

I see this claim taken seriously all over the place, and I just don't get it. How in the world is the GPL actually an issue?

The GPL does not apply to anything made with Blender; only changes made to Blender. You can very trivially use Blender without ever dealing with the GPL.

Do studios really think they need to make changes/extensions to Blender itself, then keep those changes totally private and proprietary? How absurd!

I just can't for the life of me think of a scenario where the GPL would actually inconvenience a studio. The only potential problems I can imagine are beaurocratic FUD like having a legal team arbitrarily demand every tiny piece of work be owned by the studio. What a silly reason not to use better tools.
You can also get units like this direct from Western Digital/HGST. We have a system with 3 of their 4U60 units, and they weren't all that expensive. Ordering direct from HGST, we only paid a small premium on top of the cost of the SAS drives.
The optimal solution for that is better city and regional planning so waitresses and the like can find low cost housing near work and for it to be generally viable to make life work without a car.
I bought the Radwagon and it's been amazing! Pretty much a second car for my family.

I wouldn't be surprised if rental battery trailers become a big thing due to that.

When using the EV for every-day stuff the internal batteries will be enough. Going on a long trip? Add a battery trailer for more range and extra cargo/baggage space.

That's probably because car manufacturers are not making electric cars to traverse the jungle. That is an extremely niche use case compared to the global car driving population and a straw-man argument.

For the subtle variants, I believe it's how they price discriminate. It's all the same part, but they use fuses to disable various peripherals. Way easier to do that than to fabricate a whole bunch of different chips.
I don't think the lunar Starship is ever intended for returning to the Earth after it's launched - it has no flaps and no heat shield.

> I would rather have a larger screen for CarPlay, and I’m betting most people who use streaming apps/MP3s would too.

CarPlay and touch screens generally are one of the worst 'innovations' that have happened in cars in recent decades, as far as road safety goes.

In the past, I would have a CD that had 5-10 albums on it, and could easily flip between them without taking my eyes off the road. I could glance up at the sleeve on my sun shade to find a different CD to switch to, and easily switch the CDs around and navigate the rest of the process by feel alone.

Now I have to pull over to change albums in a reliable (siri is unreliable and doesn't work with all apps) and safe manner.

It's an improvement as far as how much total music I have access to on any given journey. Does that convenience justify even one additional life lost as a result of a distracted driver? As a society, we have very loudly screamed ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY, which, like GP notes, is a real fucking shame.
I have run into this issue as well. I just want a webcam with decent resolution.
that's a very interesting way of looking at it, but also in the US you would have very many people in a place with reasonable policies implemented that will simply go to a place with unreasonable policies

Germany as we know it today developed in the 1800s and its borders have changed significantly since.

Prior to that it was a couple of kingdoms, each of which changed allegiance between the various middle-European empires many times, every time there was a war or someone noble married.

Parts of Germany were occupied over long stretches of time, e.g. by the Swedish, the French, more recently the British and Americans, every time leaving an impression in the culture.

Culture in various parts of Germany in diverse, most striking is the difference between Prussia and Bavaria.

Cultural development in Germany was regionally diverse and subject to huge outside influence all the time.

If there was legal continuity then it was because the whole of Europe was governed by the same bunch of emperor families since the fall of Rome.

But this was totally decoupled from culture.

That may depend on where you live, and what your electricity consumption already is. In CA, for example, with our tiered billing and PG&E's award-winning business practices, it's pretty easy for an electric car to rack up quite an energy bill. If you were already using electricity up to the top of your tier, the add for the car will be at $$$ rate.

So they also have non-tiered plans for electric car owners but those are time of use. If you use them at peak for whatever reason, $$$ again. It's a little tricky.

It won't be as expensive as liquid fuel, to be sure, but the savings over time might not be as high as you'd expect. Offsetting with solar seems to be the popular option around San Jose, where homeowners tend to be particularly affluent.

In the U.S., it's still murder and/or manslaughter (depends on jurisdiction) if you physically assault somebody and they die as a result, even if your physical assault was not the sole reason they died.

I'm not even making a moral argument here. That's the letter of the law. (Again, laws vary by state)
There are "only" 256 extension header IDs which gives an upper bound. Realistically you're never going to be able see more than 20ish to process on a packet because after that you're likely requiring the packet be >1280 bytes which would create problems anyways - unless all of the sudden they start pumping out 8 byte extension headers like candy.
Let's be fair! Slack copied Yammer in large parts, which was acquired by Microsoft. And Teams is actually better than Slack in many ways. I don't think they will just add features to Teams that compete with Discord. It probably would "fix" Skype.

> I don't think we take software reliability seriously enough, most of our focus is on speed of release, ever quicker cycles and it being OK to break things. This culture ruined these peoples lives. Things must change. This isn't a unique issue to Fujitsu it is something most of the software industry is doing, this story could be about just about any piece of software.

This won't change until executives go to jail.

A few years ago, we were fighting against tight deadline and skipping unit tests, QA, processes, etc. Someone brought up one of the recent major breach (Equifax?). Developers started to say that people will go to jail. Basically, devs were using this breach to imply that they will personal responsibility for releasing a product that might have security flaws. Our director laughed and said no one will go to jail and if our product ever got in trouble, they will personally take responsibility.
That's peak malaria deaths in a single country

Globally, malaria kills 1-3 million people annually despite many people having some natural resistance to it and there being many effective treatments for it and it already having been eradicated in many areas. Covid killed the same amount in a much larger population that had no pre-existing defenses or treatments.
I'm currently assuming that the inertia is towards EVs. Apply enough engineering money and economy of scale and it becomes more and more reasonable.

Honestly, that's the only type of new car I would buy at this point. I think we are hitting peak ICE complexity at this point and would just as soon not be involved with the mechanical magic that's been introduced to achieve that last bit of marginal improvement with emissions or mileage.
I don't think the Lunar gateway is so useful for people going to/from the moon, but for future trips to Mars and back. Having a place to stop and refuel would greatly reduce the size of rocket you need to launch from Earth.

The choice of having it in Earth orbit vs. Lunar orbit comes with some tradeoffs. It may make more sense to leave it in Earth orbit, but ultimately having it at all substantially changes the calculus on a Mars trip.

I was born in Nigeria. I barely remember it, but what I can remember, is being constantly told how bad it was. It's entirely possible that my parents had an unreasoning fear of it. When we are kids, they are our source of Truth.

I also remember my sister getting caught in one of those 'squito swarms, near the Delta. That was freaking awful.

Uganda was a bit worse; but we also had other things to be scared of.

I should also mention that Ebola wasn't actually around (that we knew of), when I was a kid, but we hasd some fun diseases. The parasitic ones (like Elephantitis and Belhartzia) were pretty difficult to look at.

USPIS is actually the oldest federal law enforcement service.

That said, its present utilisation seems to specifically address cases in which other agencies, both outward-facing (CIA, NSA) and inward (FBI) are limited.

The USPIS's investigation, case, and conviction rations are quite impressive. Relatively low counts of cases, I believe, but conviction rates are extraordinarly high (~90% or so).

The confusing names can be good for big box stores because they prevent comparison shopping, if every store gets their own SKU then they can offer to beat competitors' prices without ever having to do it.
