Although some posts suggest that the USA may experience malaria at some point in the future because of global warming; in actuality, the USA has already experienced malaria.

In 1882, the range of malaria in the USA extended from the Canadian border on the north to southern border with Mexico on the south. The only states of the current 48 contiguous states unaffected were Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Main, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Something like 41 states had malaria cases (the maps are a bit hard to read).

Approximately 375 cases acquired in the USA per 100,0000 population were reported in 1920.

Eradication efforts continued until the 1950s when the USA essentially became free of malaria. See [1].

the autopsy report said he had a heart failure "complicating" restraint.

When asked to clarify coroner said he meant in medical sense, as in "heart failure complicating leg surgery", i.e. his death was not expected from restraint itself

Siberia used to be a giant malaria hotspot, and then it was suddenly gone at the onset of 20th century, and first semblances of effective treatment.

Some say climate change killed it, some say the extinction of a mosquito species carrying it, some better nutrition, some say quinine.
There have been countless corporations that are openly supporting BLM and pushing the "everything is about race" narrative because it is a distraction from the increasing wealth inequality that has led to rising economic popularism, which has in the past helped candidates like donald trump or bernie sanders who the powers-to-be want to keep out of office.
> Driving any more than that without a rest in my country can result in serious consequences.

Fascinating! We drive hours upon hours on the regular in Texas, everything is so spread apart. I take weekend trips to see my family every once in a while and it comes out to 3-4 hours and I do that without really hesitating. One of my friends recently mentioned that one of their parents took a job that's 120 miles away from their house(!!) which, while it's definitely not "normal," certainly happens.

If you don't mind my asking, whereabouts are you from?
Thanks for upvoting my list. Originally it was quite focussed on C++/plugins but it has diverged a bit. I try not to just put random links to things I haven’t even tried, and instead give a bit of context about why I like the thing, or why I think that it’s worth including. Also shamelessly promote my project iPlug2 at the top!

Hah, nothing like writing a macro only to replace it with a basic function.

Is there some good reason to use the macro version?

Edit: also the 2nd version is not (as far as I can tell) "self-evaluating"; does that make it partial function application and not Currying? Or is there another distinction that I am missing?

Sorry but that story does not scream 'smart'
I do actually want the Polestar 1, since it's drop dead gorgeous. Unfortunately it's a very limited run hybrid car that costs as much as my apartment.

Also weirdly Polestar is also falling into this EV design pitfall. They release a petrol car and it's gorgeous. Then they release an EV and it's misproportioned and ugly.
Zero emission vehicles still pollute with their tires.
Personally I'd like if developers stayed a couple of generations behind on their computers, so the rest of us aren't forced to upgrade regularly to keep software running at a decent speed.
> It's pretty clear what happened, and it's unfortunate but banal: someone went too far with making the key mechanism as thin as possible

I see it as a symptom of the Jony Ive ideology, untethered from realty by Jobs, poisoning Apple in the early 2010s. iOS7 flat UI, overthin devices, keyboards.

Signs are pointing that Apple is recovering from this (new aTV remote).
Yeah, electronic voting is essentially like having a person in the voting booth that you have to tell your vote and trust that they will tally it correctly. [1]

It doesn't matter whether voting machines are actually secure, they probably mostly are right now, but whether a layperson can have faith in the system.

Paper voting is very secure if you involve people from opposing parties in the process and attacks are not very scalable. Most people can think of and understand mitigations for certain kinds of attacks. And if paper voting is too expensive for your country, you have bigger issues. [2]

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkH2r-sNjQs

[2] That said, I don't see how secure electronic voting can possibly be cheaper than paper voting. For voting machines to be secure, you have to manufacture them in a very audited manner, with little to no foreign sourcing of parts, you can't leave the machines unattended for long periods of time (aka, reusing them between elections is probably a no-go) and you have to build them in manner that is secure against voters tampering with them in their private booth.
I remember when adding + to a keyword forced it to be present in the results. Then they changed that because of google+ to be keywords in double quotes.

Now google completely ignores that. It seems like searching gets dumbed-down by the year
There is literally no wonder they "closed ranks" given crap that was going on. And I know, because I personally seen that crap. The level of asshollery going on in general absolutely makes understandable that someone would go trigger happy.

And no, the whole issue was not about quality of single indie twine game. That is just nonsense.
No, I'm asking - is this a VW, but electric, or is this an e-initiative space-car ? Genuinely unsure.

I would classify the Chevy Bolt (which we own) as the latter .
Neat to see the historical data in the VIIRS maps. The area around Uttar Pradesh / Bihar really seems to have developed a lot in the past 8 years, for example.

I’d love to see an animation of this.
Comparable to a Subaru Outback in what way?

Maybe take a look at a 2-3 year old BMW i3; that's what I bought for ~$18k US with only 6k miles on it. They're BEV with a range of only ~130miles which is pretty much all I need for local commuting; longer trips we rent a gas SUV, or at least that's the plan when our 3 month old is older.
I think thats two factors. One, the analog chip manufacturers that deal with power ICs have been consolidating, and two the power outages in Texas hit a number of foundries that tend to focus on embedded parts.
This is a near product, and a reminder than first-mover advantage is huge. It’s not trivially cloneable, but the barriers to entry are very small. As a first mover, PhotoPea’s advantage is mindshare, nor data or infrastructure.
I see what you mean, but that is not always going to be a good idea as electric cars is more than a change of motor.

Much more aerodynamic, lighter, different frames for lower centre of gravity, different controls, dashboards, etc. (I am not a car designer). So a car designed from scratch will complete these much better than a simple conversion.

I think deliveries from reservations in the US started in March. I bought one a few weeks ago because some dealers have gotten a few that weren't reserved, but for the most part it's still very limited supply in the US.
Would make more sense for them to just do IP over fiber directly than fiddling with their PPPoE implementation.

I have centurylink DSL with PPPoE and the thing that really bugs me is if your modem lost the PPPoE password, it can login with default credentials and ask for the passsword. CenturyLink clearly knows who I am without needing PPPoE authentication, so what do they get out of it?
Well, it's the same platform as all their other cars. So I'd say it's a VW.
I have both an XPS 13 Developer Edition from 2018 and two MacBooks from 2019. The touchpads on both 2019s are not good. They both have difficulty inertial scrolling and the touch rejection is far too sensitive.

Coming from lifelong Linux-land it's actually comical reflecting on how poor these things operate in day to day. The most prominent issue for me is how poorly they operate with my USB-type C dock I use for multi-monitor.
So you never stick around to see your production code?
Developers may have a reason to upgrade (many don't as ssh isn't going to get any faster-er with a fancy new CPU), but they constitute the part of people that read tech news. This is a minuscule part of general population.

Compiling Chrome is a nice benchmark but in reality dev cycles are quite smaller (or you might want to optimize your toolchain).

Finally, it's quite common for developers to forget the kind of hardware their users are running on. Then they produce software that only runs well on the next gen hardware. If you develop on a beast, then at least test whatever you are producing on a 3-4 year old machine to see how it will work for the clients.
How does a video game engine add support for accessibility? Is there some kind of interface they have to implement?

I've always thought that there should be a coding construct (especially for inline assembly) where you have the code in a "macro-like comment" in original C, and then the inline "live" and one of the integration checks determines if they deviate in performance or results (and therefore should be retested).
Too much de-bogging huh?
This is how pretty much all large chips are designed nowadays. The perfect chips are expensive higher-capacity / faster chips, the less perfect chips are cheaper lower capacity and/or slower.
The had the eGolf, which was the Golf, but electric. They were almost indistinguishable. The eGolf range was 125 miles, the ID.4 range is 250 miles. That's why they have new specific electric models. Electrifying existing models is generally underwhelming.
That’s quite interesting. I’ve added Typescript and Ruby to the chart - apparently they are all declining in popularity. But I wonder, which language is the one currently rising then?
Isn't this situation a bit different?

You're financing your car anyway, so its "free" to finance a car that $75/mo more expensive if you spend $75/mo less in gas savings. Factor in not having to pay for maintenance and it really is cheaper month to month.

This is different from the classic example of having to buy cheap, low quality boot every month for $10 instead of buying really nice boots for $200 that would last a decade. The upfront cost of the nice boots (and the insane interest rates for credit cards) make the nice boots impossible to afford.

EDIT: This is besides the point, but I don't think people dropping 20k on a car are "poor" in the way we are discussing anyway. Anyone buying a brand new car obviously has some money to spend
Right but the model 3 is a sedan while the ID.4 is a compact SUV. Size wise this vehicle is more on par with the Tesla Model Y, not the 3.
It seems this is another lesson for people in the cryptocurrency space that you should always control your own keys. If you're being "ideal" about it, you would use Thodex as a in and out point for your own funds. But instead, we get stories like this, that wouldn't exist if people followed some basic steps.
Do you prefer Jellyfin over Emby?

Norway has universal instant payments.

With the above in mind, the Fed is rolling out similar instant payments infra in 2023. Think “Zelle, Venmo, Cash App for everything.”
The fact that malaria is so common in those areas is almost certainly a significant contributing factor to the intractable poverty in those areas.

It's hard to be productive when you are sick all the time and/or caring for someone sick.
"British people have shitty food can't get laid" is kinda different from "all k*kes and ni**rs need to legit be exterminated", isn't it?

They tell jokes about white ethnicities, but don't speak unironically, constantly, and at length about why whites should be racially exterminated like they do towards non-Whites, Jews, Muslims.
You know what's funny, when I look back at that old WWII media, America was pushing an awful lot of "civic responsibility" messaging on people. My father, God rest his soul, used to tell me recalling that all young men really were embarrassed about not having a good excuse not to be enlisted. There were the freedom gardens, scrap metal collections, war bonds... This isn't to glorify war or anything, but just to note that there was a time when we did all work toward the greater good.
The article conclusion is basically that IPv6 extension headers (fragmentation is one of them) are useless on the Internet, which seems pretty reasonable to me. They're basically a research tool.

The lack of on-path fragmentation in IPv6 is definitely on purpose. It was a mistake in IPv4 and would be silly to replicate in IPv6. The fragmentation header in IPv6 is effectively useless. It can only be done at the endpoints, and if that's the case the application should be doing it, not the stack. Instead IPv6 mandates path MTU discovery, which is the correct solution.
>It's fascinating that the response is to close production rather than increase prices.

They are closing production on their cheapest cars

You probably want to mount a weather-resistant camera outside. You could buy an eg Reolink security camera for this fairly cheaply. [1] Then you can stream the video to a Raspberry Pi 4 + Coral USB accelerator, an nVidia Jetson nano, or the like and do analysis there.

[Edit: oh, I missed that the Vizy has an outdoor enclosure available. Still, it's extra $60 and is huge/ugly. The off-the-shelf IP camera + separate computer for analysis should be cheaper and IMHO better.]

I'm working on a Free Software security camera NVR system. [2] I have a pretty solid core recording engine now and am just thinking about what the API for on-NVR analytics plugins should look like. I'm imagining a Python API where you write some coroutine that can iterate through decoded video frames (either live or backlogged) and make calls to your favorite ML frameworks; add events, object detection tracks, and other metadata to the database; instruct that MQTT messages be sent; etc. If you're interested in using this kind of thing, I'd love to talk more.

[1] I used to recommend Dahua or Hikvision, but it seems they're actively supporting the Uyghur genocide via custom software, eg <https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2021-02-09...>. I won't be buying any more cameras from them; I'm sure my boycott will devastate their business and cause them to reconsider their position immediately. As far as I know, Reolink is uninvolved, despite also being a Chinese company.

I guess the "slightly cheaper" part isn't a coincidence ;)
Enough people have expressed difficulty googling for it so I thought I'd share my google search to find it:

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=word+do...

Sometimes the simplest search is the most effective!

And you're welcome. (I was taking a complicated job application test where you had to recognize the color of a word and click the word that spelled the color. Everything was red or blue. As you can imagine...)
What if you want to move off S3? Let's do the math.

* To store 10+ PB of data.

* You need 15 PB of storage (running at 66% capacity)

* You need 30 PB of raw disks (twice for redundancy).

You're looking at buying thousands of large disks, in the order of a million dollar upfront. Do you have that sort of money available right now?

Maybe you do. Then, are you ready to receive and handle entire pallets of hardware? That will need to go somewhere with power and networking. They won't show up for another 3-6 months because that's the lead time to receive an order like that.

If you talk to Dell/HP/other, they can advise you and sell you large storage appliances. Problem is, the larger appliances will only host 1 or 2 PB. That's nowhere near enough.

There is a sweet spot in moving off the cloud, if you can fit your entire infrastructure into one rack. You're not in that sweet spot.

You're going to be filling multiple racks, which is a pretty serious issue in terms of logistics (space, power, upfront costs, networking).

Then you're going to have to handle "sharding" on top of the storage because there's no filesystem that can easily address 4 racks of disks. (Ceph/Lustre is another year long project for half a person).

The conclusion of this story. S3 is pretty good. Your time would be better spend optimizing the software. What is expensive? The storage or the bandwidth or both?

* If it's the bandwidth. You need to improve your CDN and caching layer.

* If it's the storage. You should work on better compression for the images and videos. And check whether you can adjust retention.
Adding up the memory use of apps isn’t actually a good way to calculate RAM needs though. It undercounts (because file caching matters too) and overcounts (because many things are fine swapped out).
I don't think Google's hiring is increasing fast enough to explain the low rate. It looks like they increased about 10% from 2019 to 2020.

However, it's also unclear exactly how 1.1 number is calculated. It looks like it comes from PayScale, which doesn't give, as far as I can tell, a methodology:

Is that the median amount of time that all current employees have had with the company so far?

Or is it the median of all of the employees that used to work there & moved on, which would exclude people that have continued to work there?

Or is it some type of survival analysis that takes such factors into account?

I’m not sure the larger batteries are even necessary.

With an EV you can start each day fully charged. You just need enough battery to handle your daily commute and the few errands.

What’s missing is something to handle those few occasions when you need to drive that extra distance. It seems kind of silly to try and cram that extra flexibility into the same vehicle.
Also makes no sense to me. The advantage of tesla is not the battery capacity but the more efficient powertrain / drag coefficient. Teslas need a lot less energy in comparison.
Or we should stop thinking about processing packets with hardware. Does it still make differences these days?

Designing hardware for a single purpose most of the times is not a good idea. That means that you are stuck with the implementation that was implemented in the hardware for a very long period. Also, an hardware implementation can't take into account (and handle) all particular cases, for example malformed packets.

IP was designed to be flexible, you could have in theory used whatever L2 protocol you wanted, and whatever L4 protocol you wanted. Thanks to hardware implementation that considered only Ethernet as L2 protocol and TCP or UDP as possible L4 protocol anything was innovated.

The reason that we are so slow to adopt IPv6, same reason. What would have take to just adopt it if we didn't have hardware implementation of IPv4? Software update and you are done.

The problem is that in the world there are many not so good programmers that write inefficient code and thus people think that they need to implement things in specialized hardware to make them faster. You don't, at least in most cases.
In the US people may be homeless, but they'll still have a car. It's THAT essential to living...
There are many Chinese menufacturers that are cheaper and already selling a lot of cars both in China and in less picky countries. I guess it will be a bit like iphone and android, the rich markets will go for the brand names while the rest of the world will just use something that is good enough and working.

Also, most people don't need to travel long distances like in the US and many people around the world live in apartment building with no charging point. So small battery is an advantage, it covers most people needs, takes less time to charge and cheaper.
Turns out I didn't have an account here, created one to speak on this.

I have a feeling that the best way to go about this would just be to cause YouTube (well, Google) grief about this every day until you get something out of them -- though I'm not sure what to suggest in terms of gaining initial traction.

Do you have an archive.org (or similar) archive of the channel page(s)?
