a mild gripe with the article - there's a picture where it says "A casting of a nest made by a species of ant found in Florida next to an adult man for scale." The "adult man" in this picture is Walter Tschinkel, who is a professor at Florida State University who studies ants. He's made a bunch of these castings. He's also friends with E.O. Wilson, the really famous ant-studying guy. He incidentally taught the hardest course I've ever taken - Bio II lab, "Animal Diversity."

Dunno. It's weird having a picture of a giant in the field and calling him "adult man for scale."
Wow youre so naive I wish I was you

> and so undercook it the way Americans demand

Yup. We had a great pizza chain called Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, that would cook the pizza "well done". Apparently, they had enough complaints that they now under-cook it by default, unless you explicitly ask them to "burn it". Unfortunately, the new ownership that made that change (that Anthony refused to make for years), also made some other changes that took them from "great" to just "good".
Per https://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/07/news/rumsfeld-rejects-pla... which I think is describing the same incident it was not an "unconditional surrender", though it was somewhat close: the conditions were about immunity from prosecution or punishment for Mullah Mohammed Omar (Taliban's leader at the time).
> The object of your iPhone will absolutely not impede you in any way from using its antenna to transmit a multicast IP packet on a WiFi network.

Yes it will. The premise of your claim is wrong. It impedes me from doing lots of things, like running apps that aren’t approved by Apple.
Turbine factories are near where the wind farms are for shipping reasons. For offshore wind you need to be at a good port so you can get the blades directly to a ship. For inland wind farms you locate near where someone is willing to make a long term commitment to buy your windmills.

I have no idea what current numbers are, but I expect long term most factories will be inland and produce wind turbines of a size that is limited by local transport roads/laws. At sea might be better, but one factory can produce windmills for any ocean in the world. Inland shipping is far more expensive and so we need more factories scattered around.

If your country is near the sea then off-shore wind is best. However a lot of land isn't close enough to the sea to make off-shore practical and so they need a different option.
If we are talking about adoption and name recognition among non-engineers (despite this being a very poor way to run software engineering projects), then unless you are already a .Net shop I see no compelling reason to adopt it over JVM and (if typed FP is desired) Scala. Everyone knows Java, and Scala probably has at least twice the adoption levels of F# (pulling numbers out of thin air here).
Then why is it such a big deal on hackernews and elsewhere?
Give me a break -- we're just arguing semantics at this point. My whole premise was that tokens are a secret, just like passwords are a secret, and that tokens should be treated like a first-class secret. Not that they're absolutely "the same." The article gives the illusion that Simple Random Tokens are safe to store as plain text. I was arguing that it's not, and that the token should be ran through an HMAC function at the very least to prevent plain text storage and to harden against timing attacks when querying. Nowhere was I implying that passwords and tokens are strictly identical in all aspects. I've worked at places where tokens are stored in plain text (i.e. almost everywhere I've worked) and it's a bad practice.
What is the basis for your understanding?
Human rights are things that another person/entity violates through their actions.

Getting internet or health care is more of an expectation of citizenship.
Speed of sound is 343m/s at sea level. The blade is 113 metres, so that's a circumference of 710m.

A quick google says large turbines can rotate up to 20 rpm, so once every 3 seconds, that's 710/3 = 236m/s, so Mach 0.68

(edit) I think 29rpm is when the tips of blades go supersonic for that turbine.

"The best way to get the correct answer on the internet is to give the wrong one". I look forward to being corrected...
The goal of regulation here is to create competition between multiple providers. Remember that only the last mile to your home is a natural monopoly which can be awarded through public tenders. Everything else, such as the backbone and actual sales to the end customer, is not a natural monopoly, and monopolizing these areas would actually be detrimental to the customer.
> If you’ve got an older iPhone that’s seeming to slow down, it’s more likely that your device is just aging.

I was under the impression that technology doesn't "just age". The software running and apps being updated for new platforms might make it feel "slower" but in general using the phone itself shouldn't ever feel like it's aging.
Great tip. A simple utility script can be used for repeated use/customization: https://pastebin.com/qEkimk7W

Another advantage is that this can be executed to import as part of initialization and get to sqlite prompt with the table ready for sql execution:

$ csv_to_table.sh sample-test.csv

Or it can be executed using heredoc for non-interactive execution as well:

$ csv_to_table.sh sample-test.csv <<-CMD
select * from sample_test limit 10;
CMD
... output ...

Nope. It’s not controlled by the government, and it’s not warrantless, since it is opt-in.
Apologies, I was mistaken:

I stopped using these modes years ago because of inconsistent results that I assume must be from reader-blocking tech.
Manual via https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql with handwritten SQL in the majority of places... but with a wrapper to handle the more complex search scenarios.

For example these from a multi-tenant SaaS forum platform (it's old, but it's also OSS so I can show you)...

This helper to get connections: https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microcosm/blob/master/helper... used like this for inserts: https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microcosm/blob/master/models... and this for reads https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microcosm/blob/master/models... .

But searches... i.e. highly consistent SELECT queries with different WHERE statements (and potentially FROM statements), then in each project I tend to have an idea of a search struct ( https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microcosm/blob/master/models... ) that will validate the inputs and represent the search query, and then something that will consume that and build the SQL for it ( https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microcosm/blob/master/models... ). This isn't pretty... but it's easy for me to tune, debug, and keeps the rest of the code base very maintainable... all the complexity is here in the search.

The vast majority of SQL is very very simple and needs no ORM, and the complexity is just in the search scenario where I want to be able to tune the performance more than an ORM would allow me to do so.

Just tried it out. I usually use Harmonic, and in general I much prefer the UI - it's more minimalistic, lower contrast, and I prefer the font (Product Sans). It also has a built in ad blocker. However, I appreciate the various filtering options / different feeds and the archive access seems like a really useful feature.

On the whole I think I'll stick with Harmonic, but it looks like it has some potential.

No code is going places where code couldn't before. It makes it easier and faster to make things that would have otherwise taken a long time to build.

And even for those who do use code and are developers, no code offers accessibility as speeds that weren't possible before!
I just added the fourth point about blocking unknown numbers. If your buddy is in a situation (e.g. certain type of job) that makes this impractical, then I'm afraid there's no better solution yet.

Edit: Actually, Google Pixel phones have an automatic call screening feature using the Google Assistant: https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9118387. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWap-nPQUO0. The privacy trade-off is that Google screens all of your calls, and the feature does not work with custom OSes, but some people might find this to be worth the added convenience. I'd love to see a FOSS implementation of this after a free voice recognition solution becomes available.
> do they ever actually help anyone realize anything?

Mind maps help me realize things. I use a conference room whiteboard rather than an app.

Starting with asking a question as the root node like "Goals?" and then putting goals around that, and then from those goals, things I'd need to do to accomplish them. "Obligations?" and writing out various people/places/things I have obligations to, and then next what it means to fulfill those obligations.

Being able to look at it all on the whiteboard and pace around a bit seems to be very useful for me. This type of thing helps me sort things out and frequently I have realizations during it that make things more clear.

I mostly do project planning in outlines, but sometimes I will break out the whiteboard. Sometimes those are mind maps and will make me see missing pieces; frequently, I suppose they're diagrams and may not count.
This isn't as effective as it was in the past now that anti-adblocking is practically universal.

Just wait until we have like 14 billion people on Earth and we really start to lose control of all of these systems. I can see it now on NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt in 2040:

Lester: “A gang of so-called Shadow People staged a protest today, saying that they’re really alive. Are they? Here’s Suzie with more”

Suzie: "Lester I'm here in front of the capitol building today with a group of protestors who claim to be shadow people, and they want Congress to fix it. I had a chance to interview one of the members of this group:"

Suzie: "Sir can you tell us why you're protesting today?"

Protestor: "So I'm not sure what's going on but I just can't do anything. I went to renew my license but the system says I'm deceased. I don't have any of these documents to prove I'm alive. I'm like hey I'm right here talking to you ya know? But they just tell me I'm dead. I don't know what to do about it so that's why I'm here."

Suzie: "Sir can you tell us, are all of the members of the protest today, the so called Shadow People, actually dead?"

Protestor: "No! That's what I'm trying to tell you. We're not dead. I'm right here talking to you. That's why we're protesting."

Suzie: "It seems that way. Sir. But when you went to the BMV and found out you were dead, what was that like? Did you feel any different? How did that affect you personally?"

Protestor: "I'm not dead!"

Suzie: "Back to you Lester"

Sorry not sorry, that’s a really dumb question to ask.
That's an interesting project, but it's a little short on technical details. It mentions heating capabilities without a 100km radius but nothing about thermal losses on the way and how that model compares to municipal heating as is usual with waste burning (not saying burning trash is a better idea than nuclear fission, just listing options here).

> my understanding is that this form of heating can be much more efficient than alternatives like electric heating.

It makes sense that mutualizing efforts to produce heat is gonna have a better yield/efficiency. I'm just sure nuclear energy is a disaster (at least all known and planned implementations so far) and i'm not sure whether using that excess heat in this manner is efficient. I'm very sure, though, that it's considerably better than rejecting very hot water into natural streams where it destroys ecosystems.

PayPal is even worse for sex workers, they're banning people left and right if they even suspect you might be involved into anything relating to it.

Their official stance always has been that this is due to the credit card companies, the reality rather is that Paypal doesn't want to deal with the rampant fraud (aka post-nut clarity) in porn.
>>>If it was a mistake, by the own account of the drone operator, would you still maintain that the killing of your whole family was not a war crime?

That's not a war CRIME, that's just war. If/when the shooting eventually starts with the Chinese (or the North Koreans), I and my family live down the street from some of the likeliest theater ballistic missile targets in the region. If an errant TBM levels my apartment building, I'll absolutely do everything I can to terminate the enemy soldiers with extreme prejudice...but I recognize that they are doing their jobs, and unless it is proven they were clearly aiming for a civilian target (such as a sports event), then no, I wouldn't consider their acts CRIMINAL.
I know however the only interpretation of the statement above was that he meant bytes since few laptops have 64GB.
Thanks! It’s interesting because there are still problems with this model. The peak-optimized application architecture for a chip where four cores share L2 is obviously going to look different from the one where they share a slower L3, so it’s still weird to migrate for some programs. Most people aren’t going to notice.

I’m excited for this part because Tremont was never a thing normal people got to buy. I think it’s going to be a real pleasure to program these E-cores.
If you follow the link through to the New York Post interview that BBC article is based on, and then watch the actual interview, you can see he's pretty fucking conflicted about it even then. The recreations could easily be him trying to take ownership of something he feels conflicted about as a way of exerting control over something he had no ability to consent to.

Quotes from that interview:

Q: "What's it like knowing all these people have seen you naked?"

A: "What's it like knowing all these people have seen my baby penis? When I was a baby? Well, I'm not really a baby anymore, so I have to think it's not me or something. But it's a trip that a lot of people have seen my baby penis, as a baby. I went to a baseball game at the Dodgers, and I had a moment where I was looking out and thinking 'All these people have seen my baby penis, when I was a baby'. It's pretty... pretty crazy. It'd be nice to have a quarter for all the people who have seen my baby penis. But, you know, there's all kinds of puns you could throw on that. But... you know... maybe it doesn't matter though, it's cool to be a part of that recipe for success. Makes you think you could do it again. That might not happy, but it's a pretty big thing, to be a part of, low key, but it definitely trips you out. But then I try not to think about it, because it's not that big of a deal, there's a lot of things going on that are more important."

I mean, it goes on, but to me that reads as someone struggling to come to terms with something that happened to them when they couldn't consent. Most people would not be okay with having their naked image broadcast to the world before they could consent. And then add in the idea that others made a ton of money off content that used their naked image, and they saw almost none of that... it's understandable.

Ok, so let's not use inflated Numbers for the trades either. According to the BLS, the median Software Developer makes $110k. The median carpenter makes $34k. There are also nearly 5x the number of Developer jobs then carpenters.

It's a similar story for other trades, machinist is $47k, welder is $44k, plumber is $56k, HVAC is $50k.

Then when we look at other technology jobs, PM, IT, etc, the story is similar to developers, high median salary with a multiple of jobs available over the trades.
