You're probably confusing inflation with interest rates.

Some forms of loans do have interest rates which wiggle up and down depending on an index (e.g. adjustable-rate mortgages might be tied to COFI or LIBOR), but most loans do not work this way, and I can't think of any type of loan which is tied to inflation.
Lambda indeed is not the right tool for this. It sounds like you need some infra that can auto scale - there are many ways to do it on AWS (EC2 auto scaling, ECS, EKS), any other cloud provider, with Kubernetes...
You saw this article, didn't you?
1. CPU-bound problems that are not externally driven by I/O events fall under the purview of parallelism (shortening the latency of performing a single task by splitting it into cooperating tasks that employ multiple processing units) rather than concurrency (increasing the throughput of handling multiple competing, largely independent events, using scheduling). In Java, parallel streams and the low-level ForkJoinTask were made to address parallelism, whereas Loom's virtual threads are designed to tackle concurrency. It is true that some parallel use-cases are more conveniently expressed with continuations, but more on that below.

2. For CPU-bound workloads, virtually any overhead that isn't zero can come to dominate in many situations. The overhead can be made to be zero when the tasks are known in advance and can be inlined. This happens in two situations: generators, where there is one producer that can be inlined together with the consumer, and parallel workloads where all the tasks are the same. I am not aware of any single implementation, or even a single user-facing construct, that gives you the optimal experience both in those situations and in I/O-driven concurrency. If you have only one continuation construct, you must choose whether you want to favour one or the other. C++ favours the former, while Java, like Go, the latter, partly because Java already has a decent parallelism construct, and partly because we believe that the concurrent use-case delivers more value to more people. If parallel use-cases that benefit from continuations and/or generators come in high demand, we can address them later.
What the US is doing to Assange at the moment is a war crime in itself.

It's not just the nodes AFAIK. There's huge demand for EUV machines but they are lower margin products for the company that makes them.

This is a node package, so using async/await would have been a specific design decision of the library.
Backlash by some journalists that have followers that like to dump on people.

Great summary of events. It is sad once again that it took over a decade for the obvious to start spreading.

I remember 2001, Bush and Co throwing silly justifications to engage. At that time most people felt that we should fight terrorism where it spawns. Years later Ben laden is supposedly caught, killed, and dropped deep in the ocean far off the coast, god knows where. No trial, no question asked really. Just the releaf that the most terrorising terrorist was done for. "We got him" as Obama said.
You're still missing the point that people tell almost identical stories for just about every profession in existence. The user that replied to you wasn't even doubting you, they were just saying that it's not special.
A bit unrelated but this made me wonder. Single and double blind experiments might protect the experiment from a researchers bias but that is only during the experiment. Wouldn’t an implicit bias also potentially effect calculation as well as handling of the data gathered from the experiment, meaning that published results could still be impacted by biases.

This is pretty neat. I saw that Docker is required on the local side; what's that for? (My understanding is that it sets up Docker on the remote server and build the container using the project's Dockerfile.)
> Clearly the US is exempt from the war crimes laws, and that needs to change. But it would require leaders of other major powers/countries to push for this

I don't see this happening any time soon, without a popular movement that drastically alters the American political landscape. Whichever party a president and legislators are from, they have war criminals among their ranks, so they couldn't accept their friends, colleagues, "bosses", etc. being sued and going to jail for war crimes. Not to mention the American fetishisation of the military, a politician could hardly campaign on sending "our heroes" on trial. Heck, Trump pardoned a notorious war criminal and it was celebrated by some.

So, baring a switch to proportional representation which would allow more parties and variety, or a popular movement that swipes away the current two parties, i absolutely can't imagine that happening.
(I personally find Quorn OK, but I'm not a fussy eater.)

I am hesitant to say it will never happen. On the other hand, Quorn has been on the market for a surprisingly long time, and AFAIK has not made any leaps in quality, so I don't know if it ever will.
That is not true. They were ignored for the longest time and their numbers were dwindling. They just got more support when people started policing hobbies, books, comedy. That will obviously lead to further opposition, which aren't racists but are declared as such.
Controversial and technically dubious. The whole premise of the BIMI standard hinges on the adoption of X.509 certificate authorities which will issue certificates (called “VMC”) for a graphical logotype. However, the laws regarding trademarks are restricted in many scopes; legal juristictions and business area (trademark “class”), to name a couple. No VMC issuer could really do anything sensible with similar trademarks which are registered by multiple entities in different juristictions and/or different business areas. The best-case scenario is that huge players like FAANG, CNN, etc. get VMC certificates and the rest of us get nothing. Which is, I guess, why the big players are toying with the idea and are, slowly, tentatively, pushing for it.
> In reality, on a standard linux system with overcommit enabled, stack pages are only consumed as they're written to - the rest is just virtual.

1. Once stack memory is committed, it is never uncommitted, and creating a new thread is relatively expensive.

2. Committing virtual memory is done at a page granularity.

These make threads far too costly to serve as a construct for any single concurrent task.
Thanks, that explains what they're saying now. But I'm still skeptical. How achievable is 98% fill for 4-element buckets in the first place? Intuitively I feel like you'd frequently have to scrap the table and rehash or enlarge it... is that not the case?
"Do not use undelegated domain names like .lan, .home, .homenet, .network, nor should you make up your own domain name."

But it doesn't explain why, and what the mechanism behind that statement is. I configured my internal DNS servers on my home network to be root top level domain servers for a made-up .tld. Why wouldn't that work? Don't know, because the author does not explain the mechanism in detail.

As far as I can see for the past 15 years, having configured the internal DNS servers to be root top level domain name servers works like a charm, with no observed ill- or side-effects.
There was an interactive web page where you could place single point light sources and obstacles freely in a 2D room and then see in real time the shadows and where are the safe points. Too bad I can't remember the URL and can't find this old page. Anyone has a link to share?
Fun problem. Can't help but ask what happens if the room is circular, or shaped in such a way that it doesn't easily tessellate, however...

And yet it sounds like a thicc ass.
The solution is great, but it shows a fundamental flaw in mathematics, that I am thinking about a lot: You have to be smart, no doubt, but you also have to know the answer to get to the solution - It requires so many steps first until "the solution / the proof is clear". If you go down a different route (as I would have done), then you'd likely not succeed and certainly be in "rough" unknow territory, making it difficult for others to help or assess your approach. And this is expected: The hard problems will take the smartest people to solve eventually. I wish we could be more honest about that, that Math is a lot about "memorizing problems". And that was always the case (over history): At some point in history all this was a frontier. And there will be people willing to fight on this frontier and I am not disputing that intelligence/logical thinking is also required. I am just wondering if all this couldn't be put to more practical use. But then maybe it is and as fascinating as it is, most of us move on from Math and work on real world engineering tasks, eventually and from time to time still look back to these problems, as we do today. And absorb them, adding them to our repertoire and looking/assessing for real world application, which likely is limited / none.
Its opponents. I can easily imagine eg Russia openly claiming that since the international law doesn’t apply to US combatants, they are to be assumed to be terrorists and not soldiers.
I saw the headline and felt immediately overwhelmed. I was a university student glued to my TV as the second plane struck the South Tower, as Blair and Bush did their thing and then as the tanks rolled in. Now twenty years later I’m seeing the same fucking headlines rolling by on repeat and I’ve just realised the cycle has begun again.
I was able to watch it on a mobile just yesterday, in the browser.
A lot of fields are stifled by regulation. A practical example there is no doubt that it stifles innovation in medicine. The cost of the development has grown exponentially and a lot of it is attributable to the increase in regulation.
These kinds of comments detract from the horror of the crimes in Guantanamo. It reminds me a bit of when Americans opposed to mask mandates liken them to having to wear yellow Stars of David.

Guantanamo detainees were tortured with stress positions, sexual abuse (including simulated rape), simulated executions (including being taken out to sea and told they would be thrown overboard), held in cold rooms, and told their family members would be arrested and put in prison.

This includes detainees who were later exonerated.

In comparison, Assange has been...in British custody pending the results of an extradition hearing? While contesting credible (be they right or wrong) charges of rape?

There's something deeply unjust in making this a discussion about Assange.
Shit like this is why I go to extraordinary links to keep my cell phone unlinked from my identity. This is honestly harder on people who complain about having to change my contact once every 6 months or so (I travel a lot, and a prepaid won't make it from one country to another) but if that's the only suffering that has to happen in order to completely avoid scenarios like this, or someone doing a SIM swapping attack on me, then so be it.
If announced with a sufficient amount of time and credibility, it would force ISPs to implement it.

It would potentially help them to take it more seriously if there were planned outage windows (i.e. "IPv6-only for 1 day after the law was passed, then IPv6-only for 1 week 6 months after, then permanently IPv6-only after 2 years").

ISPs would probably just take the 1-day outage and ignore customer complaints for a day. By the time the week long outage would come closer without the date being delayed, they'd start taking the issue seriously.
Recent versions of mailman is perfectly capable of handling both SPF and DKIM and thus bypassing problems with authentication.
Having to trust a particular entity is binary. I have to trust Apple not to give the government a physical-access backdoor to my machine, just like you'd have to trust your silicon vendor not to do the same (e.g. the Intel JTAG password stuff I mentioned).

If you have an open system that does not do robust secureboot (i.e. secureboot that can withstand a physical access attack), then it doesn't matter that it's open; a physical attacker can still break into your machine and backdoor it. If it does do robust secureboot, it is pretty much guaranteed to rely on a proprietary ROM, which will likely have backdoors or exploitable bugs (see e.g. Nvidia Tegra machines; yes you can burn in your own secureboot keys on systems that come unlocked like the Jetsons, but their ROM is a mess and all their security is now moot as you can exploit it). Apple have a lot of experience with this, having long been one of the prime targets, and have put a lot of effort into hardening their boot chain, so I trust them to do a better job than pretty much any other silicon/firmware vendor (and I say this as someone who has looked at the security of many vendors).

People like conflate openness with trustability, but they do not go together. Most open systems I see being developed explicitly choose not to enable or support this kind of security, which makes them less trustable systems than an Apple machine: I don't care that all the boot process is open and I can inspect it, if anyone else who steals my laptop or messes with it while I'm away can steal my data. You need to rely on maintaining physical control. With an Apple machine, you don't: only Apple can break its security, nobody else, so your data is safer as a result. The machine is designed so I do not have to trust Apple's components to be reasonably confident that my machine is safe once it boots into my own OS, thanks to the IOMMUs and general design of the ARM architecture (e.g. a transparent malicious hypervisor isn't really possible). And none of this has anything to do with remote access backdoors (there is nothing like ME on these machines), so the entire story is about what you can do with physical access.

That is not to say there wouldn't be advantages to fully open systems; for example, it would allow for a simpler and more user-friendly installation process than what we have to do with Apple's framework, and it would make the DCP thing much less of a mess. There are definitely practical, real advantages to having a more open system. It's just that all too often I see the trust/security argument being thrown around and... that just isn't true in most cases, when you look at the details.

I don't know what the power-grid considerations are, but much of the SF Bay Area is on fill or other unstable ground which is subject to liquifaction and severe movement in seismic events.

Undergrouding local transmission might increase overall risks of outages / cost of repair.
The most interesting part of this article is that the effect was found experimentally, but the "criticism" section involves only argument and theory-based papers. Who writes theory that goes against experiments instead of designing experiments that refute a theory?
Exactly that. Plus, if you have to configure it, you're already doing more with e-mails and custom domains than 99% of average people who just use an address from a free provider or their ISP.

It's nontrivial to move away from e-mail-as-a-service. It shouldn't be, but we're stuck with decades of legacy and abuse. Years ago there was a statistic doing the rounds that either 80% or 99% of e-mail traffic was spam; I'm confident that is still the case, but thanks to technologies and big providers, end-users only see a fraction of it ending up even in their spam box, and even less in their actual mail. There was one in my non-spam gmail inbox the other day, the first one in years.

I run a wordpress blog with comments enabled as well, Akismet has stopped a million spam comments (99% of comments attempted to be poasted).
Trump wasn't the worst US President. Bush2 was. And he is still a guest at late-night TV shows. Incredible.
Ah, O(wildly erratic) insertion. Great for that jittery feel to your programs.
Honestly there is a bit more than that.

The idea of mass development with large, open ended access to code is actually a surprisingly recent idea. Plus of course Stackoverflow has significantly changed the approach.

Concurrent programming is also significantly different to its 1960s iteration. COBAL and Fortran did not even attempt to do such a thing, the handling of all those asyncs was not around.

Many many other architectural details have also been implemented that were specifically designed not to be exposed to give classically trained programmers the illusion that things under the hood have not changed. However, they have significantly. Branch prediction leaps out at me, but also many other forms of evaluation, memory and processor design.

There is more than you describe that has changed.

If you would say that compilers and parsers have not changed, that would be extremely accurate. But there's a bit more to the world on either side of the compiler.
Among the key figures in the design of American torture programs during the War on Terror were American psychologists James Elmer Mitchell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Elmer_Mitchell) and Bruce Jessen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Jessen), who were paid $81m for their work.

Irony upon ironies: "Mitchell, who is retired and lives in Land o' Lakes, Florida, spends his free time kayaking, rafting and climbing.[14] He describes himself as an atheist and a supporter of Amnesty International.[10]"

There's the risk of grounding from the vehicle to earth by a disbarking passenger, as well as of ground currents within 100m or so of a high-voltage downed line.

Mitigating those conditions requires specific actions and measures. Ensuring compliance by all passengers aboard the bus is a challenge. The lesser risk might be having them remain aboard. Even the option of carrying or assisting passengers from the bus could risk grounding. Consider that passengers might be old, young, handicapped, non-English speakers, or otherwise have difficulty understanding or complying with instructions.
> DKIM is a much stronger signal than SPF

I don't think so.

SPF attests that the mail was sent by an IP address that is authorized to send for a certain domain.

DKIM attests that various headers, usually including the From: address, are approved by the owner of the domain.

SPF prevents random people on the internet sending mail that purports to come from your domain. DKIM prevents people inserting forged headers into emails. These goals are orthogonal; neither is a stronger signal than the other.
The copyright of the thing Googlers build on their oswn time are usually owned by Google and so it ends up on the Google org if they want it on GitHub. They usually have a disclaimer like "this is not a official Google product..."
I was under the impression that `github.com/google` was largely projects being worked on by googlers where the code is owned by google, but the code isn't always being used by google. Say 20% time work, side projects built using google resources, etc.
JWZ (and friends?) resurrected the home.mcom.com from 1994, so you don't even need the archive.org URL to load that version.

> Don’t use .local (except for mDNS.)

Going forward, I agree. However for many years, the recommendation from large providers (including Microsoft) WAS to use .local

I've got .local as my internal network. For some people, it's not a trivial job to re-domain everything.

That's a funny one. Someone should interview him and see how he sees himself and his role, and does he consider himself to be a war criminal.

This comment will probably be heavily downvoted, but I don't think this sort of thing is helpful at all. Our civilisation is extremely dependent on fossil fuels. Without this industry we would be unable to adequately feed ourselves, heat our homes, and continue with civilisation as we know it. No responsible person would want to end this industry today, so why are we demonising everything and everybody connected with it? We need to help these companies transition rather than creating a castigated out grouping that nobody is allowed to be associated with on pain of excommunication.
The US is powerful and can do that. Well, at least up to some extend but even then it turns to be ineffective but as we see with the recent developments.

It seems like you would want to build a high surface area framework/scaffold of the 3-5 dependent layers above the actual production of milk. One semi important question is how do you determine which genome to use. Each cow for instance produces genetically different milk which is based on its genome and epigenome. My guess is we can probably get to a near product pretty quickly with known tech and the next century will be consumed with making adjustments as more is uncovered about the role played by systems not included in the model. Eventually you will likely end up with a basic model of every system in the cow to achieve actual milk.

It is curious how so much bio technological/financial effort is spent on something that not only does not contribute to the extension of human life but also serves no other purpose than it’s own end. In general milk is more of a cultural commodity than an anything close to a necessity.

Personally I would much rather biotech focused efforts on life saving/extending tech and then we can address other desires later like more perfect hairlines, longer orgasms and memories ect, but such is the conundrum of capitalism trying to determine which humanitarian goal to solve.
