FWIW, I wasn’t talking about providing a manuscript in LaTeX and the publisher providing "end-control of the typesetting". (LaTeX is generally used for journal publications only in certain STEM fields, and not in my own field.) Rather, I was referring to cases where the for-profit publisher expects e.g. a Word document already fully typeset, and then the publisher does not contribute anything at all to typesetting except its own copyright page.

Check your math again: this isn't true. Per the article we're discussing, China is responsible for 27% of emissions and the US for 11%. Half of China's emissions is more than all of the US's emissions.

It’s not necessary a “language setting” — a Java “ExecutorService” is an abstraction which allows one to dispatch futures / async jobs.

If anything, to me it’s a clear example of why benchmarks like these are silly as they benchmark very uninteresting aspects that typically are never real world bottlenecks.

Stating that the situation "was chaotic" discounts the agency from the actors (passive voice, yet again). If that killing was justified, then meet the bar of justification - don't explain away the situation as if the trooper isn't responsible for having created it.

I see your point about othering and it's valid even for just balancing my own views. But the larger issue is that trust in the entire institution is failing.

When you have one cop murdering someone, three more standing around watching, a entire department that doesn't arrest the murder squad, a union that protects the whole lot, and a wider community that defends the whole miscarriage of justice - you don't have "one bad cop", but rather a popular culture of corruption.

Now certainly it isn't the case that every police department has had a case like that and reacted the same way. But all too many have, and if the actual good cops want to stop their institution from being indicted with a uniform brush, then they need to start speaking up about their criminal colleagues and actually enforcing the law even when the perp is wearing a uniform.

In what way is the runtime not redistributable?

The old one “.NET Framework” is an OS component but has enough compat that you can always upgrade it.

The newer one (net5+) is typically fully bundled with each app so no sharing.

MSVC also went this way - you bundle them rather than take a dependency on a system wide runtime. These two (.NET and c++ runtimes) were basically the last shared libs on windows, and it’s now basically obsolete tech (.NET 4.X) or no-longer-recommended deployment method (Msvc).
You don't need a device. It already exists, and has existed for hundreds of thousands of years. It's the ruminant-grass-soil-microbe energy cycle.
The article about latency vs throughout and is only incidentally about coffee and even less so about the method of making it.
Agree. And want to add one point which people seem to ignore in discussion like this.

>> needing a newer version of a package because the older one flat out doesn't work for me

The reverse situation is also a problem. For me personally, even a bigger problem.

Imagine, you're happy with a supported Ubuntu LTS version and don't want to upgrade to a non-LTS version. If there's a new version of this one package you would really like to use that targets a newer version of Ubuntu, you're out of luck, basically.

For example, maybe KDevelop replaced its home-grown C++ parsing engine with libclang. It's a huge change, you'd really like to give it a shot. Well, the only option is to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu.

Yes, there may be a PPA that has the new KDevelop targeting your LTS version. But there's an equal chance such a PPA doesn't exist. Or it has pretty much the whole set of KDE libs as its dependencies; those will not only pollute your system but also can mess up your KDE installation. Also an anonymous person made the PPA and you decide to trust them at your own risk. And when you're finally ready to upgrade, you'll have to re-add PPAs manually. Etc, etc, etc.

Snap solves both problems rather well. And in contrast to flatpak, there're official builds of VSCode and JetBrainds IDEs in the snap store. Maybe other software too -- didn't really look it up.

One problem with snap is forced updates, of course. Ubuntu developers really need to add an option to disable them.

How is gRPC used at Google?

I know the Cloud APIs use gRPC, but only on the client side. But I'm under the impression that gRPC and Stubby (the internal RPC framework?) are completely different codebases (even if they are allegedly similar).
TLDR;

Linux distribution landscape is diverse (complex) and emphasis is on shipping source code and not something (binary) that real people use. For example something is broken so do you tell grandma to download source code and compile it or do you give her a compiled binary that fixes the problem in one click?

Not simple (more than few).
Linus Torvalds uses AppImage for his diving app subsurface. He is on the record saying he endorses it, and you can find a quote by him on the AppImage website. I don’t think he would have anything good to say about snap. I don’t think he has said anything about flatpak
I’m not familiar with the “vending machine” protocol he’s talking about, but it’s entirely reasonable that it has certain timing requirements. Usually the way you interface with these is by having a dedicated HW block to talk the protocol, or by bit banging. The former wouldn’t be supported on RPi because it’s obscure, the latter requires tight GPIO timing control that is difficult to guarantee on a non-real-time system like the RPi usually runs.
Epilepsy Research Reveals Why Sleep Increases Risk of Sudden Death
In the general case, absolutely. Thousands of humans working for thousands of years can do impressive things. I don't have any particular knowledge of the grasslands of tropical africa and a quick look at the literature shows a pretty ambiguous situation that I'm not qualified to speak to, but the concept as a whole is one that I find reasonably plausible.
You're not comparing apples to apples. Senior designers and data scientists also typically make 250K+ (and often 300K+) at these companies.
I’m a strong proponent for listening to your gut, but that’s very different from a bird landing on your home predicting death, especially when the correlation is weak (sometime later that year). It’s easy to attribute something to something else if there’s an indeterminate timeframe in between.

Remember that people see what they want to see in noise too. Clouds often look like something tangible, that doesn’t mean it’s a sign. If I squint, I can see shapes in pretty much any random pattern. And people tend to remember events that they attribute meaning too (in this case the old wives tale about the birds and then the family member dying) and forget the events that have no meaning to them (how many times did the person see said birds without anything happening and just forgetting about it?)

Nobody has yet managed to prove the existence of the supernatural, but many people have tried. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but it seems pretty unlikely, especially when other better-understood causes exist.
They also wrote this, which is, as HEAD~2 already said, the sentiment being addressed.

> So why didn't the black grasroots ever sprout an analogous new rock scene, instead of turning towards the mainstream, big stage, light show, for-profit music that comes from black artists for the last few decades?

For me, that's like asking, 'why didn't Van Gogh ever develop something innovative, like the abstract artists, instead of painting in his popular impressionist style?'.

Is there any subculture in the world that has invented more music on the grassroots level than African-Americans? There's jazz, blues, gospel, turntableism (i.e., two turntables and a microphone), rap, techno (yes, created by African-Americans in Detroit), and all their derivatives: R&B, soul, hip-hop, etc. etc.

All of that began at the grassroots. Just because people aren't inventing rock genres, doesn't mean they aren't inventing musical genres - does that need to be said? Just because you hear it now on the big stage doesn't mean it was born there, or that there isn't grassroots innovation still going on that you don't see.

It's because people lose access to their phone number rarely.

It just always seemed super boring, generic, and unimaginative.

Yes, I know that one of the reason Tolkien's work seems so cliche today is that so much has been influenced by it. Maybe if I'd read it in the 40's or 50's I would have been more impressed, but as I read it in the 80's, by then it already seemed way too generic.

By the way, I am a fan of much older literature than Tolkien, and consider the works that Tolkien himself was probably inspired by to be much more lively, authentic, imaginative, and well written than anything Tolkien himself ever wrote.

Things like, say, Apulius' The Golden Ass, a Roman fantasy written in 1 AD.

Or virtually any of ETA Hoffmann's work -- written in the 1700's.

Or Poe (1800's), or Blackwood (early 1900's), or the French Decadents (1890's), etc..

Or the Mahabarate (400 BC or even earlier).

Or The Count of Monte Cristo (1800's).

Etc, etc, etc..

These works were all far more complex, three-dimensional, interesting, and insightful than the "good guys team up to defeat the big baddie" that LoTR brought.. not that that in itself had to doom Tolkien's work, if he had any profound insight in to the world or the human condition, or maybe had some interesting characters, but he had none.

To me Tolkien has always just seemed as nothing more than a mediocre writer who'd have been long forgotten if there was any justice in world of literature, but instead he's gotten massively overrated.

At 15 minutes. Afaik it's all but T type instances that get reserved resources. Might have been different in early AWS, pre nitro etc.

Even if you say that, that just means it's the contents of the comments that matter--not who sent them. So the wrong thing is faked under that analysis.

I agree that Ajit made the wrong decision, I just facepalm when I see people raising this as an argument as to why when there are so many better arguments than whether someone spammed an insecure comment box.
> We bias these decisions towards throughput (I blame Taylorism).

I think he's ignoring another tradeoff that may be hiding which leads to a bias towards throughput.

One of my favorite lessons with regard to video is something that old school Amiga demo scene taught years ago (slightly before my time) is that standard deviation trumps frames per second in video (I'm starting to suspect this is also true for audio). This has ramifications for video pipelines. Naughty dog has blogged about how they were able to greatly increase their throughput by adding latency (especially on the cell processor). In the process they were also able to make guarantees about variance, and their 30fps was a consistent 30 vs the 60fps that they would occasionally miss. This allowed them to have lower frame rates while still looking better than most gamers would expect from such a low frame rate.

So, I would say in the context of making coffee, in real life, boiling enough water for 2 cups is definitely going to have lower variance in the finished time of the second cup.

Does it matter for a cup of coffee? Not unless you're at barista scale. But it's an important tradeoff in certain contexts. And an important one to at least be aware of as an engineer.
It's a reference to the classic AT&T monopoly, when Verizon et al were still part of AT&T and you notoriously had to buy your phone from them (and they prohibited analog modems in favor of paying them for extortionately expensive ISDN lines etc.)

"You can just use Google" is the equivalent of saying "you can just use British Telecom." True only in some kind of theoretical sense. You can fly to Britain and subscribe to telephone service there. It's not realistic.

Saying that you have a choice for the $1 app and all you have to do is replace your $400 phone and all your other apps and convince all your friends to switch away from iMessage is at the same level of practicality. Worse, because there are multiple different apps. What do I do if I need both iMessage and a BitTorrent client?
So? The question isn't if it's better than some utopian ideal situation but if it's better than what we have now. If your approach to things is the former then every solution to every problem will fall short and nothing will ever change.

What an insightful point! Maybe I should eat nothing but candy, smoke cigarettes, and go into bright sunlight with no sunscreen everyday. Who cares if I get diabetes or mouth, lung, or skin cancer!

Or maybe I can just take basic precautions like eating more than three different foods? You make it sound like that is such a burden, but it really isn’t. It’s possible to enjoy your life even while taking care of yourself.

In fact, I have a much easier time being happy when my health is good than when I am sick, so I’d say these precautions are important for a good life.
If the two cups of coffee are for one person, I don’t think you want them at the same time, one might get cold.

I think you can start to heat again sometime during the drip phase. Start to enjoy your first cup while the 2nd cup is heating. Then the time between 2 cups being ready is shorter than option 1 and not at the same time as in option 2.
Counterfeiting is becoming a real problem in Magic The Gathering. Just this past week I received a counterfeit card in an order from a reputable business. Once you start buying expensive MTG cards you need to know how to spot a counterfeit in order to protect yourself. Luckily with MTG cards the printing process is the same with cheap cards and expensive cards so you can easily compare the cards for differences. I imagine most people buying Yeazys don’t have an authentic pair to compare with.

I’m wondering how “counterfeit aware” payment processors (VISA, Mastercards, etc) are becoming? It seems like counterfeits are only going to become more frequent in the future and payment processors should have some awareness of counterfeits when investigating a chargeback claim.

The blog post is vague, stating that only accounts that are "appropriately configured" will be automatically enrolled.

This article speculates a bit that:

> On Android, Google Prompt is a full-screen pop-up built into every device as part of Google Play Services, so that's easy. On iOS, Google Prompt requests for your account can be received by the Google Search app, the Gmail app, or the dedicated Google Smart Lock app. It sounds like everyone meeting these requirements will soon be enrolled in 2FA.

So assuming this is correct, if your parents don't have an Android phone attached to the account, and don't have an iPhone with those apps installed, then this won't affect them.
