I'm an electronic engineer by education and have worked with boards many times as a hobby only though (outside of the university) and I can tell you I do see the capacitor being swollen just from the picture, you can see the ones below are in a normal state. Many times this is very very obvious but other times not in which case you need to remove each capacitor and measure its capacitance with the relevant (cheap) equipment
Requests aren't made equal. I don't have an opinion about the manga hosting site, but I have worked on a website where many read requests required a lot of heavy joins other data work for actual useful work and weren't really cacheable, as every used requested his own data.

Yep, close to 100% of my data manipulation is done in pl/pgsql. It’s awesome. At least 50% fewer LOC, and 10-100x faster than the equivalent code written in Java or Go, due to all the round trips.
It might not be positive expected value (dollars) but it's often positive expected utility.

This is usually because insurance hedges against tail risks that wipe out the individual, and in these cases utility is a nonlinear function of dollars.

Most people would rather pay 1% of their net worth to deterministically avoid a 1/100 chance of losing their entire net worth.

Because insurers pool risk, it ends up being simultaneously rational for the individual to carry insurance and profitable for the insurer to write insurance policies.

Investments are a similar kind of risk pooling, but for upsides. You would not gamble your entire net worth on a prospect with uncertain profitability, but a large number of investors each risking a small fraction of their wealth make it possible to raise capital for risky but possibly valuable projects.

The above solution unfortunately doesn't work for those of us who use fzf (or other fuzzy runners), since that RUN_SCARY_THINGY=yes var will be part of the matched line which you will run inadvertently in your coffee-deprived mind.
I rarely make mistakes while consciously typing out commands, but running commands with wrong arguments because I didn't pay enough attention on the matched line does happen semi-regularly.
Doesn't help that since doing stuff with fzf is much faster than typing out full commands, that your brain sometimes just doesn't have enough time to ask -- wait, should I be running this right now?

I feel it's been worth it for me on my laptop (top spec 16"), I had one of the cursed 2017 butterfly models which I eventually got them to replace with a 2019 model (with a spec bump, which I paid extra for) after multiple repairs. I might have been able to get the replacement without AppleCare (under EU consumer law for example) but I definitely got the sense that it was much easier because I had AppleCare.

I then spilled beer over the replacement and was able to get basically the entire laptop replaced for the ~£300 accidental damage charge. I might have been able to claim this on my home insurance, but again, much more straightforward with AppleCare.

Not sure I'd bother on lower priced items though.
It is very tricky to define the line for terminally ill people. But the reality is that if you ended up on the wrong side of the line you would welcome the choice.

It's not the same line as "Life is wretched and miserable (because of depression, bankruptcy, relationship breakdown...) and therefore I'd like to check out." Those are all at least potentially fixable with reasonable odds of success.

Something like locked-in syndrome after a bad stroke, or late-stage Alzheimer's - potentially a vegetative state that can last a decade - isn't.

The real problem is making sure the choice is free and informed - not being "encouraged" by other family members for personal gain, revenge, or some other unacceptable motivation. Possibly after a person is no longer considered legally competent, but may still be signalling a current desire to avoid death even though they left a living will stating they would welcome it.

It does indeed get messy very, very quickly.

Open legalisation complicates all of that and turns it into a much harder problem than it is already. The courts would spend a lot of time dealing with those cases.
Note -- if you're running Github Actions on your local machine, run it in a VM. You can use something like multipass[0] which is pretty light (Ubuntu is heavy of course, but is the expected OS of most setup documentation).

While working on a project of mine that runs runners (Github, GitLab and others), how to safely run other people's random workloads and not become a botnet/crypto miner was basically the only hard technical challenge. GitLab is farther ahead in terms of runner sophistication (and also options available to you when self hosting) by a long shot.

> as once someone is making a profit it can't be a positive-expected-value deal.

This isn't true. There are risks an entity with a billion dollars can profitably take on that a person with a thousand dollars can't. Insurance can reallocate those risks to leave both parties better off in expectation.

Don't drink the Kool Aid.

We have been doing multiplatform development for a long time. It is in our company's interest not to depend on a single provider(like Apple, MS or Google) for anything.

It is also in those single provider interests to make you depend on them as much as they can, because every company wants to become a monopoly. If you can not change provider overnight, they have a virtual monopoly over you.

E.g MS spent literarily billions in order to make game developers to develop exclusively for Windows using technologies like DirectX and when people started using graphic cards for everything, like CAD, CAE, crypto, Microsoft(and Nvidia as her partner) benefited immensely from their virtual monopoly.

Technologies like objective C, C sharp, Azure or swift are designed so you can not escape the company platform. So easy to get in, so hard to move your code to other platforms once you have been programming for years on them.

Unless you spend as many Billions as Microsoft or Apple or Google has spent in alternative platforms, those alternative platforms will have significant caveats.

What we do is compromise, like with so many things in engineering. We use Linux, we use web technologies, but we also create native programs in Macs and Windows and tablets(Including Android NDK) because there is no way around it. You must use native for things that must be efficient and are extremely demanding, or some times it is just way easier. Most of our code, like 90-98% is portable libraries that we could use in every platform, but that 2% to 10% must be done native.

One of the great things of our approach is that we are not opinionated. We generate automatically code for different platforms, or different OS and we could just compare without prejudices. If tomorrow the Web backbend were as good as native we would shift our focus on that platform. But it is not today, very far from it.

If the only thing that you do is using programs like text editors that were available in the 90s, then sure, you can use electron for everything, spending gigabytes of memory for opening a single file.

But if you don't you are better served if you remember that it is going to be a constant fight. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Companies are never going to stop trying to lock you in, and you should never stop wanting more freedom.

This is a pretty exciting part of the mRNA field. There are some mutations that cause cancer (like G12D, G12V, G13D or G12C in KRAS) which allows you to make a single vaccine that can be used by anyone with those mutations. There is also a push to do personalized cancer vaccines where you sequence a single person's cancer and find the top 30 or so mutations in any gene that are different from their normal cells.

The biggest issues IMHO with cancer vaccines in the past has been your bodies natural ability to prevent your immune system from attacking itself. With the discovery/invention of checkpoint inhibitors like Keytruda, we may finally have a way to allow your immune system to attack yourself by co-administering Keytruda with the vaccine against your cancer cells [1].

Another reason cancer vaccines may finally show promise is mRNA inherently has the ability to drive an immune response (see BNT162b2/Comirnaty) that elicits T-cell specific to the protein you're coding for. It is believed that cancer-epitope CD8 T-cells specifically are critical for anticancer vaccines, but even if you get good CD8 cells, the second it binds the cancer cell it gets shutdown by the checkpoint proteins on the surface of the cancer cell. If you add a CPI, boom, you don't prevent the CD8 from shutting down and you get cell killing!

Here in Sweden the green party still insist that fossil fuels must be part of the energy grid until future tech can make batteries cheap enough. In their view existing non-fossil fueled alternatives are too expensive to replace fossil fuel. This sentiment get echoed in much the global green movement as it currently exist.

If the green movement still favor fossil fuels over costs, then the idea has yet to be imprinted in the general populations brain that fossil fuels must stay in the ground. The message that the green movement need to adapt is that cheaper energy is not worth heating the planet. Keep the fossil fuel in the ground. If we can convince them of this fact then maybe there is some hope of convincing the rest of the world of it too.

If you’ve ever had to work with MS recently it’s honestly all they talk about so I don’t think that’s the case.

Is syntactical similarity or even compatibility to C a positive thing? Not taking away anything, D is a really cool language that definitely doesn’t get the fame it would rightfully deserve, I just think that breaking with some old habits (eg. postfix types with : are simply superior from a parsing perspective, and the pointer magic of C is just as terrible and the change in Zig is very welcome) when they are superseded is a good thing.

I don't completely disagree. VGA should have been removed from monitors 10 years ago. Some companies still buy new monitors and hook them up via VGA. That should be prohibited by labour laws. The image quality wasn't good enough to be used for an entire work day in 2010 and it certainly isn't acceptable today.

Tens years ago I argued with a previous boss that it didn't matter how cheap the monitor was, he shouldn't force anyone to use a VGA monitor and hurt their eyes when DVI was available and only slight more expensive.

That being said, if you need a VGA monitor, perhaps for some retro computing or a system that only supports VGA for some reason, it's better and cheaper to just fix it, if possible.

I think I'm missing something, but I don't get sqlc. Let's say I want to "get a list of authors", so in sqlc I would write:

-- name: ListAuthors :many
SELECT * FROM authors
ORDER BY name;

and in Go I can then say `authors, err := queries.ListAuthors(ctx)`. This is cool. Now, if I want to "get a list of American authors" I would write:

-- name: ListAuthorsByNationality :many
SELECT * FROM authors
WHERE nationality = $1;

and in Go I can then say `americanAuthors, err := queries.ListAuthorsByNationality(ctx, "American")`. Now, if I want to "get a list of American authors that are dead", I would have to write:

-- name: ListDeadAuthorsByNationality :many
SELECT * FROM authors
WHERE nationality = $1 AND dead = 1;

... I like the idea of getting Go structs that represent table rows, but I don't want to keep a record of every query variation I may need to execute in Go code. I want to write in Go:

deadAmericanAuthors, err := magic.GetAuthorsBy(Params{
Nationality: "American",
Dead: true
})

without having to write manually the N potential sql queries that the above code may represent.

But why would a fusion reactor produce 10 times more power than a fission reactor of the same cost? A fission reactor is, comparatively, very simple. Just a steel cylinder filled with fuel and control rods. No superconducting magnets, no zillion degree plasma to contain and control, low neutron field (as long as we're comparing to D-T fusion). Also heat transfer is much more efficient, enabling high power density, since you pump coolant through the entire reactor vessel instead of just the outer edges.

Here in Japan, no dish washer have dedicated cold intake because it's nonsense. Usually hot water on kitchen can't be too high because it's pre mixed. It seems that some US model has both. Could faucet on kitchen in US supply too hot like 80C water?

Hot water supply should be available in nearby dish washer because it's on near kitchen sink (but YMMV). So no complexity added compared to cold water supply.

Yes I agree even only electric heater is used, it won't charge much higher electricity bill, but plugging hot water pipe is still efficient.

There is plenty of debate still about Dark Energy.

...and it's been getting stronger lately as we've been finding more evidence that the visible universe is not homogeneous as we thought - which is one of the pieces of evidence for dark energy. We seem to be in a local empty area, and thus dark energy may no longer be needed to explain post-big-bang inflation.
I've repaired several TVs and monitors, LED lamps, etc. just by replacing bad capacitors, and in a few cases some diodes too, so it's worth trying especially on electronics that would otherwise be thrown away. If you see a TV/monitor going off randomly or a LED lamp starts flashing, pretty sure there are one or more defective capacitors in there.

Defective capacitors are a common plague in modern electronics, and the culprit is always the capacitor: the market is literally invaded by rubbish quality capacitors, and swapping a bad quality one with another bad quality one guarantees it will fail again one day, so buy only reputable parts from reputable vendors; avoid online purchases of branded parts from unknown resellers (pretty sure that 99.999% of Nichicon or ELNA capacitors sold by any Aliexpress, Ebay, Amazon, etc. sellers are relabeled fakes); pay them more but pay them once.
A web/image search for "counterfeit capacitors" works better than 1000 words.

Anyway, when shopping for (hopefully genuine) electrolytic capacitors, respect also the temperature ratings. Capacitors mounted into a power supply are exposed to higher temperatures, so always choose the 105c degrees type. Capacitance is usually not critical; electrolytic capacitors accuracy can be worse than 20%, and that's not a problem because they're not required to be accurate for their job, so if you don't find the exact value, you can safely swap the part with one with slightly higher capacitance; same for the rated operating voltage which can be higher (not lower!). Low ESR rated ones are preferred; if you can, buy them instead of generic ones.

This is absolutely great, because it allows cross platform usage, often without the developers doing anything at all.

For example, it meant that I was able to join a Microsoft Teams meeting from my phone, without installing any apps (I prefer to rely on my browser's sandbox to protect me from abusive behavior apps like to engage in). They do refuse to work in Firefox and you need to switch Chrome to desktop mode, but it works. Not perfectly, but well enough.

It also means that teams with limited resources can reuse a lot of code across platforms, making cross-platform development much more likely to happen.
That's nice and impressive as far as it goes for portability however on the other side, we have C.
And notably, as a kinda higher-level challenge towards poka-yoke...:

The improper installation apparently required some considerable physical effort, which, somehow did not raise any alarm at GKNPTs Khrunichev's assembly plant in Moscow. (...) By July 13, investigators simulated the improper installation of the DUS angular velocity sensors on the actual hardware. As it turned out, it would be very difficult to do but not impossible. To achieve that personnel would need to use procedures and instruments not certified either by the design documentation or the installation instructions. As a result, the plate holding the sensors sustained damage. Yet, when the hardware recovered from the accident was delivered to GKNPTs Khrunichev, it was discovered that the nature of the damage to the plate had almost exactly matched the simulated version.
