Just a quick note, that this was a surprising move by China which leads the World Heritage Committee as of now. A kind of reprisal that Australia had the guts to say NO to the negative Chinese influence in Australia. In the end of the day, Oz is paying dearly for its non-conformity with China.
Nobody cares? It’s not like “we” are presented with a clear choice.

It’s totally unclear whether some product is produced ethically or not. Some ultra cheap products are likely to be unethically produced but a bit more expensive and there’s no way to know except for doing extensive research.

Nobody has time for that shit. Many don’t have the money to buy ethically because they themselves are working on the low end.

Sure you might buy the slavery free coffee bones and the fair phone 2. Good for you, but what about all the other stuff everyone buys day after day?
For the rare occasions I open text files outside the terminal I've had good experiences with Textadept. It's open source, lightweight & fast, and can also run in the terminal if needed.

Usually I just go for Vim, but sometimes I need something else and in those cases I want to avoid heavyweights like VS Code.

Robots already build cars, and supply of new cars is often out-stripped by demand. It's not really new ground.

The limitations in car production are always the component supply chain, not the actual manufacture.
I imagine Hyundai Motors has loose informal connections and regular collaborative efforts with other former Hyundai Group companies, including Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hyundai Robotics, so hopefully there'll be some smooth expertise sharing there.

Yes, I do do this. But Dropbox is still a good safety fallback. I'm not committing everything for every line of code, but with VS Code auto-save, Dropbox is basically committing a version for every line of code.

It's useful even if I just refactor some code and change part of the refactor and then change my mind and want to go back to what I was initially trying. And it also helps if my hard drive dies or my laptop gets stolen, etc.
Kats = Kits to Analyze Time Series:

I found nothing in the docs [0, 1] about downtime due to Replace or Patch. Both commands change the spec. Downtime from a spec change seems to be unrelated to the manner of changing the spec.

The standard way to implement optimistic concurrency with HTTP REST APIs is using the If-Match header [2]. The Kubernetes authors chose to use a 'resourceVersion' query parameter instead [0].

Kubernetes Team decided to implement *three* different kinds of patches: JSON patch, JSON merge patch, and strategic merge patch.

Kubernetes Team also chose to put 1,500 pages of docs on a single page, making searching extremely difficult or impossible. Bazel team [3] and Flutter team [4] also make their docs difficult to search.

Kubernete's Patch implementation may be technically correct, but it has a lot of usability problems, which translate into wasted engineering effort maintaining integrations with it.

Weren't all these things solved by regulations?

Sure, 'nobody' is an exaggeration, but people still smoke, people still drive unnecessarily wasteful cars, people still fly when there are alternatives. People in general just don't care. Only if political leaders care enough and can fix things without a big impact to their constituent, this stuff gets solved. If the impact on daily life is too big, nobody wants to make these hard decisions. Just look at how little is actually happening to combat climate change or plastic waste in the grand scheme of things.
Imo, it's not that bad, about the level of an entry-level 8th gen Intel Core chip. The problem came with the generally sorry state of x86 emulation (and lack of native support).
Wow sorry to hear that.

I recently reduced my working hours (so I now have the freedom to work 3-4 days if I like or more if desired/needed) and I would say if you can make it work it’s 100% worth it.

It’s worth bearing in mind it doesn’t have to be permanent. You can suggest a “trial” to your employer to see if it works for both parties.

From my own experience I think it’s more likely that an employer will agree to this request than not.

Good luck if you decide to go for it.

WebDAV is a fairly portable file (or "resource") transfer and remote directory listing etc. protocol over HTTP designed such that it doesn't conflict with regular HTTP operations (GET, POST) send from browsers and implemented by traditional web servers to replace late-1990s FTP-based site maintenance practices by a webserver-integrated facility. It uses HTTP PUT operations (not normally send from browsers unless using JavaScript) and introduces WebDAV-only HTTP verbs (COPY, LOCK, MKCOL, PROPFIND, etc.). It uses XML payloads for representing directory listings and arbitrary file metadata attributes. In the context of this thread, the add-on protocol CalDAV is meant, which specializes the "resource" concept to calendars and scheduling events. There's also a much more elaborate XML-leaning protocol for messaging called XMPP.

It may be before the online mobs grew large enough, but Tim Hardaway dealt with his homophobic comments well enough to convince everyone that he had a change of heart, and was not just trying to manage the fallout (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/sports/wp/2017/02/16/ten...).
What is more, Australia does not exist in vacuum and China is responsible for 28% of global emissions (compared to AU's less than 1%). Of course, the stats per capita are different, yet, the problem can't be solved unless the big players decrease their emissions - China, US, India & Russia.
Is Granger causality a common method for the kind of time series analysis made by this library?

It's not that bad really - the people making clothing and cars mostly have decent lives too. The fact that there are some bad actors beating and killing etc is a different issue.

This coal is shipped abroad so they build deep water ports near the reefs [1]

One of the largest coal ports (Abbott Point Port) is right in the middle of the coast bordered by the reef, which is currently approved for expansion.

Thankfully I do save all of the microcodes, so I can just use an early version by simply rebuilding the initramfs. I also hold that package back on Arch, so it does not get upgraded.

Might want to look for them here: https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Dat...

As to how to actually use those files to get your "intel-ucode.img", just take a look at: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/intel-ucode/

For the "iucode_tool": https://gitlab.com/iucode-tool/iucode-tool/-/wikis/home

The actual PKGBUILD for it on Arch Linux: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages...

---

cd Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files-microcode-${pkgver/./}
rm -f intel-ucode{,-with-caveats}/list
mkdir -p kernel/x86/microcode
iucode_tool --write-earlyfw=intel-ucode.img intel-ucode{,-with-caveats}/

The above gives you "intel-ucode.img". Copy it to "/boot/". Run "mkinitcpio -p linux" or the like.
Including EL3 is not free, it requires silicon validation effort. Apple has no use for EL3, so it is gone. They have other ways to patch things anyways, though there are limitations. (FWIW, we also know there isn't an EL3 because we have the code the processor runs as it comes out of reset.)
> Weren't all these things solved by regulations?

Well, yes. But parent is equating people not putting their money where their mouth is with "nobody cares so we shouldn't try and change anything", which is wrong IMO.

Of course this goes through regulation. Nobody complains about seat belts anymore (and those who do are being Darwined away so that takes care of itself), yet everyone only started wearing a seatbelt once regulations were introduced.
This is bullshit. The actual decision will be an open vote.

Writing this down to China is stupid.
Thank you. It seems silly but my first parse was "-c(heckout)" but that comes from not using "switch" yet; I need to rewire my brain from "checkout".
But... a monad in X is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors of X, with product × replaced by composition of endofunctors and unit set by the identity endofunctor ... so what is the problem? /s
> There are billions like me on this planet who did not grow up in a nice middle class family in a 1st world

I doubt that they all grew up in an equivalent level of poverty. When climate change takes major effect, it won't be western countries that first bear the brunt of it - it will be the poorest.
From what I understand: Coal produces lots of CO2. CO2 is part of the global warming. Global warming also raises the temperature in the Great Barrier Reef. The GBR cannot handle the sudden temperature increase and dies off.

Or it is the massive tourism with all the boats and people touching and contaminating the reef.
There's a bunch of marginal coal industry seats that the government is in danger of loosing, which is why they're doing stupid things like this.

It's not the only thing, they recently decided to subsidize a new gas power plant with taxpayers money.
Of course - that's like engaging any other supplier. Suppliers don't know what other suppliers are paid. Is that not the structure of that arrangement?
Interesting. Perhaps this is why large corps often can’t build cross-functional flat apps that effectively share data and make said company more efficient and profitable.
If you mean physically bigger than it is certainly true that avionics, like automative, uses larger components with higher ratings and avoids a lot of high pitch integrated circuits. This makes things easier test and likely to be more reliable. It also means you might have a single euro-card just to handle the input from a single airplane sensor even though in the non safety-critical world, we would easily mux them onto a single interface.
When I was a child, I was thinking how amazing it would be if I could store all my games floppy disk on a single, network-accessible drive so that I could access them all without installing and swapping them all the time.

Nowadays I have a NAS that stores both the raw media and installation scripts for those games, and I have wine/dosbox/mame/mess startup scripts for many of them. Can't say that my inner child is disappointed about that, but building and curating that system took a lot more effort than I'd like to admit.

I don't buy games that require online activation, because I can't store and play them the same way. My inner child is very disappointed about that.
Avoid rework, understand your PO needs: the use case of mobile deeplinks
The iron ore was pulled up from the ground, so "some" energy is used there, to lift it into the trains. Now the mine is not quite as deep as ocean level, so there is still a net potential energy gain (you could say).
That's a different discussion, many EU countries require proof of test or vaccination for certain activities (travel, restaurants), at the same time handling PDFs on the phone can be quite inconvenient.

I think this is an interesting solution where the data processing is transparent, I don't need to install another app that might do things I would not be ok with and comes at 0 cost, compared to the amount that is being spent by some governments with very little to show for.
It's not "Australia" opposing the move, it's "Australians who will earn less money if fewer people spend money in locales near the Great Barrier Reef due to negative publicity" who oppose the move.

Not only the self-identification of their model to be incarnated science, they probably don't even have the means to reproduce their measurements.

FWIW, my conversations have (to me) painted a different picture around the future of kernel extensions: it seems like they will only continue to exist until the last large company that relies on them doesn't have a userspace API replacement. The remainder seems accurate, but I would really love for Apple to allow me to put up the guardrails again but in a way that I control…
Bears and tigers are apex predators that have a high calorie intake. The world can be as populated as society can sustainably support - problem is the path to "development" implies a massive ramp up in energy consumption.

I suspect the main barriers are political. There is a lot of suffering in the world that has little to do with lack of resources, yet persists for political reasons.
Thanks for the feedback . I'll update this soon enough
4GB is standard on cheaper laptops in the UK as well. 8GB is midrange and if you want more you're paying a premium price (or upgrading it yourself).
"Blame China" seems too simplistic, how much of their CO2 is because the rest of the world outsourced their production to China. So your shiny smartphone, or your kids' Nerf guns, how much CO2 did their production cost, and to which nation's balance is it added to?

If China started charging their factories to offset CO2, Apple and Nerf (or their suppliers) would just find the next country willing to host their polluting factories for a bit less money.

Many of those older computers are the first computer of someone around the globe still, at least as long as they keep working.
Indeed. The quality of life that developed countries in the west currently enjoy is still the yardstick for poorer regions, as they improve their infrastructure and public amenities. To judge other people as materialistic while living in the lap of abundance and riches is hypocritical.

Countries like China and India are still in the industrialization phase as they pull millions out of poverty. India is far behind though, as the quality of life for an average person on the ground is still depressingly terrible. Sometimes I stumble upon random channels like this: https://www.youtube.com/c/WalkEast/videos - and the QoL in China is in the stratosphere compared with India.
Could we say the same about Africans in the slave trade? I’m not sure because I don’t know history but I would hazard a guess that one could.
I did this. I had multiple roles where I got promoted (part dedication / part luck) and I enjoyed thinking strategically, having a greater impact and leading people to realise their goals, however I never had any support or training really.. just a mentor here and there who were excellent. In ones of these roles I got a new manager (VP level) and we didn’t get along, my mentor left and I felt exposed, burnt out and unsupported.

I left, did a project management course as I had had the opportunity to lead small-ish projects throughout these roles and enjoyed it, and have been a PM for ~7 years.

I don’t know what the future holds but I enjoy this more than the management. I also have had some big life events (kids, mortgage etc) and being able to de-stress has been a huge win for quality of life and time with loved ones.
Vanguard and Blackrock ETFs are the cheapest on the German market. Germans like the Vanguard FTSE All-world index fund.
