As someone who started their computer science studies with Pascal and then switched to C (I use C for comparison because it was the dominant programming language in 1990s computer science programs) , I can say that C just offered more to the aspiring software developer. For most people who coded in the 90s Pascal meant Turbo Pascal. While the language itself was great, MS-DOS where it ran not so much.

Especially when you compared MS-DOS to Unix (I say Unix because this was before Linux was dominant) systems which most computer science students were being introduced to at the time. With C you got access to all the Unix dev tools and you could do Unix systems programming. I think too a lot of young computer science students go through a phase of all things difficult are good and C on Unix made for a great learning opportunity.

Speaking as myself, the problem was the ecosystem not the language per say. I think for most of us it isn't even a contest between MS-DOS or Unix.
C was faster. It's that simple. Computers were extremely tiny in those days.
My term for it is “you’re not their use case.” For better or worse, they’ve prioritized usages that would much rather have an unexpected few thousand dollar bill than have services paused or shutdown unexpectedly.
When you have junior devs insisting in using orm, then the connection setup costs become an issue
We're actively planning an aws workload right now, and with reserved instances for the baseline workload, the pricing is closer to 1.5-2x, but the cost savings of only needing to scale up for a couple of hours per week make up for that. Yes it would be cheaper to run out own infra for the baseload and burst into aws, but that adds operational load onto the development team, which defeats the purpose of going with AWS in the first place
>We didn't all shift to to smartphones the instant they became available.

Oh, yes we did. Within 3 years (say 2007-2010) it was game over for feature-phones for the mass population, whereas the state of web APIs was still bad.
The camera becomes blurry and shaky - completely useless. It's a common and well known issue if you happen to mount the phone on your handlebars (do NOT do this). I have several friends who've had this happen in the last year. All the way up to 12 Pro.
In addition to Oracle owned middleware, it's common to end up running Oracle because your vendor supports only it.

Sometimes with somewhat sensible reasons, like Oracle combining clustering and in-memory encryption, but it still means you don't get to choose...
its solved until your company installs a CVE scanning tool such as twistlock and it turns out you have 100 different docker images out in the wild you need to update, rebuild, and re deploy.
I assume your phone was sold exclusively in Japan? Foreign phones don't work with this tech.
Join the Conversation: How do you beat procrastination and improve your focus?
Their explanation seems legit but I do wonder how Apple would handle warranty claims to damages done to the camera system from strong vibrations.

Like, does the iPhone internally log strong vibrations sensed through the gyro/accelerometer to invalidate warranty claims?

I'm asking since most phones also have moisture stickers inside to invalidate warranty claims to to water damage.
AWS is complexity-as-a-service. This is why, as a one-man company, I went baremetal[1]. One flat price, screaming fast performance, and massive scalability if you get a beefy enough machine[2]. I don't have time to fiddle with k8s, try to figure out AWS billing/performance tradeoffs, or deal with untraceable performance issues due to noisy neighbours and VM overhead. My disaster recovery plan is a simple DB dump script to S3, and I know I can get another baremetal server up and running in less than 20 minutes.

> The new brand name was unveiled on Monday, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lifted the COVID-19 vaccine's emergency-use status and granted full approval to Pfizer-BioNTech.

"New name"? "Unveiled on Monday"? (The article is dated August 27, 2021.) The link points to Pfizer's press release about FDA approval. It does not specify that the name is new.

Comirnaty got marketing authorisation in the EU on 2020-12-21 under that name. Did they use a different designation until now? Maybe this is region-specific?
1. Nationalism is fascism. At least in Europe we don't really distinguish between the two given our history.

2. Yes Japan is very racist. Other countries can be racist too.

3. You are making up straw man arguments:

>I’ve even seen people lately claim that striving to always do better and improve your life or maintain a high standard of living or make a better life for your kids is actually racist!

Source?

4. If you find yourself spending a lot of time trying to argue you are a not racist...
Aside from running a native application in a VM, most other sandboxing solutions are escapable, mostly because no mainstream desktop OS was architected with sandboxing in mind. Jails are as good as we got, and even then the kernel is far too insecure IMO. Its very hard to support a POSIX api and then retrofit sandboxing. And with VMs, there are numerous escapes, its just another frontier of security issues, not unlike browsers. But browsers were built with sandboxing as a core part of the design, and if you were to not use the newer, far buggier APIs, like Bluetooth and WebGPU, I'd argue that the browser would be relatively safe for a layperson. And much more practical than a VM.
> Tab UI is possible to hide

That’s not a solution to the issue though. An independent application is managed by the OS, but websites are generally managed by the browser which has multiple tabs. Users don’t want every tab to be treated like it’s own app, which means websites need to play nice with the browsers UI even if the OS did give them full control.

Now, mobile OS have mechanisms to treat websites as native apps but your still stuck with web baggage. From a users perspective installing this website as a native app is simply worse than installing native app. Basically when you start improving the websites as app enough, such as gracefully handling network outages, you just end up with a native application.

From the other direction anything that would be fine as a website is already fine. You don’t get websites killing huge numbers of native apps because in that case there weren’t any native apps built to be killed.
The Second Coming
Is it a HSTORE column with GIN index? The default "FASTUPDATE=ON" option will delay updates to the index until vacuum time, but if you don't vacuum soon enough suddenly it can decide it should sequentially scan instead of reading through the delayed updates.

This is behaviour I've seen on 9.x on the Aurora variant; for that the solution was to use the FASTUPDATE=OFF index storage option. You can see the delayed tuples by using "pgstatginindex" function.

Using some of the extra options of EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS, COSTS) might give more hints.

If not HSTORE/GIN, then it could be that the analyzer, after some auto-analyze of the table things that what you are asking for will match a significant number of the rows in the table. So there's no point in random seeking through an index because it thinks it needs to read e.g. 50% of the table anyway, so it might just as well not use the index.
None the less I could support 64 bit and my competitor couldn't. For this application it was critical, my competitor lost a lot of business because of it.
i think you are right, that makes a lot of sense, and is much simpler too. i was thinking that it would make sense to want to remove the warm air, with lower pressure being a sideeffect of that.
Many people are already doing that. While various products are already on the consumer market and more are in the pipeline, and while I hope they collectively succeed in replacing it, this takes time and money.
This seems like something that could be detected while it’s happening (*). Maybe iPhones could warn users before lasting damage occurs?

(*) Edit: I was assuming that damage to the camera accumulates over time. If it happens on short time scales or as a single event as nicce's reply seems to suggest, this renders the notification idea moot ofcourse.
I don't think, because italy produces 70% of its durum wheat, so the price will be influenced but not totally dependent from it.

Il y a même les accents, bravo ! Merde à Rouille !
That’s really cool - the only problem is that I couldn’t tell my friends about it with them being able to take it seriously due to an unfortunate resemblance to some slang…
Road bikes too. I wrecked my iPhone 8’s autofocus after riding ~1000 miles with it on a handlebar mount. Obviously there’s no engine vibration but chip-and-seal roads have a similar effect.
Only by technical people and with massive tradeoffs. For example the fact that applications could until very recently read any file almost anywhere on the computer that the user could. Even if, clearly, that application had no reason to be able to read that file in particular.
That's a pretty dogma but nothing more. Unfortunately, humans aren't rational in the homo oeconomicus sense. There are all kinds of motivations a person or an organisation could have to manipulate the network that have nothing to do with making money.

I mean, even in the regular, non-crypto economy there are lots of products that are sold at a loss for strategic reasons.

But you're right, that explanation wasn't quite correct. My point was that cryptocurrencies rely on the assumption that all legitimate users taken together have more computing power than a typical malicious user. That assumption is supported by game theory and made use of with dynamic difficulty adjustment.

However for a PoW captcha, the assumption does not hold: The captcha has to be solvable by WASM on a smartphone, otherwise it would lock out legitimate users. And that is a pretty low bar for an attacker to meet, computation-wise.

ipv6 is fine, but the ipv6 internet is just broken

few days ago I had ipv6 enabled on my pi4 and was trying to update it, turns out that the ipv6 address of archive.raspberrypi.org was returning 404 (its fixed now)

but it took me like 3 seconds to just net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1, and i am not gonna enable it until something on ipv4 does not work

(and by ipv6 i mean native ipv6 from my ISP)

it has been like that for the last 15 years, since we gave native ipv6 to our users in my ISP, people just had worse experience than not having it.
There seems to only be two blobs in POWER10. The memory controller and something about I/O.

The question is what to do about it. Maybe an open source firmware rewrite can happen. Or maybe IBM needs to make a cheaper desktop version first with a more open DDR4/5 controller?

That advanced RAM module isn't needed for desktop level workloads anyway.

Either way, 2022 is out. Maybe 2023 will have thing line up better?

Barriers to entry. Different services will require different levels of security. This might be enough for a simple poll app.
Maybe by outbound they mean root-to-peripheral.

The `don't do` list works well, not all the time but I am constantly reminded not to drink coke, down from many liters a day. My `anti-regret` list takes priority over my to do list, things like spend more time with the kids, again works in the majority of times.

I wonder. Can this same happen on a dashboard mounted phone in a car?
I know this is a joke. But.. when I learnt C programming, and in order to smooth transition from algo classes to practical programming, we were told to #include a header file that would more or less do what this does for rust. The header file would also enforce curly braces and parentheses when writing loops or condition statements, as far as I remember. Fact is: it actually helped. Problem: my first foray in the industry would involve C and guess what? They used english-C (sorry no better word for it) rather then french-C. I fought for a few weeks re-learning the language.

From the perspective of a developer, flexibility is a double-edged weapon.

Before cloud: we have database quota of a few gigabytes, and once in a few years we need to justify to management why the quota should be doubled.

After cloud: whenever we add a new table, or a new column, or import lots of data, the invoice slightly increases, the management notices, and we need to justify the extra megabytes.
+1 also it's easy to use Docker containers and Traeffik as reverse proxy to manage many services.
Not sure what op meant, but most computers don't come with built in GPS. Location services rely on other indicators of location, which are far less precise.
I live about 5 miles (on the same road) as the local Harley Davidson dealership and would love it if HD riders left the stock pipes on their bikes. While the engines do vibrate, don't dismiss the additional concussive force of an unmuffled exhaust.
> I'm more surprised I survived early 80's era powder formula.

Why, was it somehow more dangerous than modern formula?
That’s not how any of this works. At all. Not even slightly.

Like, what? “Thank god, I only hire developers with a skill level of 78 so it will take a developer of skill level 79 or above to even have a chance at finding a bug here, and we all know skill level 79 developers are rare so I’m secure!”

This isn’t an RPG, life is full of unquantifiable things and differing conflicting incentives. If anything, the domains in which exceptionally skilled developers often work and the tools they use make bugs more common.

It doesn’t take a Linus Trovalds to find bugs in Linus Trovalds’s code.
> These laws don't exist in the USA

One would think that they would have lawyers to figure that out and they probably have, otherwise they would be sinking in lawsuits from they own European employees.

> NOT an ethical issue!

They spend at least two years intentionally underpaying people. Of course you can reclassify everything as a PR issue, for example poison in baby food is a PR issue, hiding the fact that a bad ignition switch was a cost saving measure was a PR issue, fucking Auschwitz was a PR issue.
"Technically they are a smidgen slower than Intel for certain workloads."

In my experience, after migrating several servers with quite varying workloads, they're faster than Intel - and more than a smidgen. Just as is the general case with current AMD Ryzen vs Intel.

Escape the quote. Or just put the path in double quotes.
For me WSL has completely replaced dual booting setups.

There are still some quirks with integration such as certificates and more.

I really can’t wait for the GPU experience to be fully supported and also be able to use pytorch from within containers.

Microsoft is so far doing everything right with WSL IMO.
I could be wrong considering it was over 2 decades ago and I never verified the floating point bug. There were no expansion ports on the computer and so I was using one of the built-in USB ports as that was the only expansion possible. This seems like the motherboard it would have used https://pb.retropc.se/770.html

But yeah windows 95 did have very limited USB support based upon the 2nd service pack if I remember correctly but it did not really work very well.

I agree to some point with the other commenters. But the reality is that almost every enterprise of any size will be hybrid cloud for quite some time if not forever. It’s impossible to lift and shift everything at once which means you need the infrastructure to connect those environments regardless.

On top of that you’ve still go some applications that run on platforms that just aren’t compatible and will need to be either rebuilt or left to run on-premise indefinitely.

Additionally, getting back to their other comments. I think there is some logic around data being viewed as “heavy” given the egress costs on most clouds. Having one place which you can easily upload data to any new environment that pops up for cheaper seems like a decent idea. Then again, a lot of money related things can be solved by simple contract negotiation, so maybe it’s not worth it.
No

AWS is probably further along than the others throwing offerings at the wall. They let you do things like have a single api that can manage your stuff on your prem and in their cloud. It can look like containers, like VM's, like a VPN, all sorts of options. Sometimes it sticks to the wall.

First, the readme is simply hilarious!

Jokes asides, the concept underlying this project is actually interesting. It wouldn't be bad at all if programming languages were localizable.

I think it would help many if it was possible to choose the (human) language in which to use a programming language. Ideally, the same source code could be viewed in different languages depending on the preferred idiom of the developer.
At least for your glibc / nvidia concern, I feel like if you stick to the binary packages, at least on Ubuntu, it's hard to break. Recently I've been trying to do all the gaming I can on Linux with Proton, and at least for single-player games, it tends to work pretty well. (MP is still a big issue due to the current state of anti-cheat)

Audio latency is one struggle I agree is still pretty bad. I had a pretty good time getting SteamVR running on Linux with Beat Saber running via proton, but tuning the audio latency was a big pain.

It really isn’t pointless. Building, selling, or possessing facial recognition products or data obtained could easily be made illegal or extremely restricted.

We need to build an expectation of public privacy concept where everyone has the right to go about their public lives with only human levels of tracking, recognition, and memories. That is being seen and remembered a short while is acceptable, having every move recorded and attributed to me is not.
this is great tool! even though the implementation for me would be too late a month.

I think part of it is around what the HR organization is built for, construction companies that do self performed construction are used to hiring growing their workforce 10x and shrinking it down again.

I think the thinking at more knowledge based firms is that They want to Keep their W-2 employees people they perceive to be the top performers, that they want to keep retain long-term, and that have long-term potential at the firm, if the position is viewed to be more commodity ther can put them on contract with a staffing firm, and not have save marginally, but really mentally keep track of who long-term vs. temporary / commodity
On a price sensitive project I almost exclusively used spot instances at a dramatically reduced price over on-demand. It forced me to built high availability elements into the design at the outside, though ultimately spot instances got shut down no less frequently than my experience with on demand maintenance and individual machine outages.

Obviously mileage will vary, but going in I was under the impression that spot instances were on the knife's edge, when with a decent pricing strategy they're as robust as on demand at a fraction of the cost.
Thanks, I edited my post to correct it. It was a single NAT gateway that's $33.62 / month.
There is no evidence that it brings any preventative or curative effects as regards covid. It has side effects, especially when taken at high dosage, which the people shilling it recommend and those taking it do. They buy the horse version as it's cheap and available without prescription. So it is indeed horse paste they are taking, even if the same substance is also used in properly dosed human products, used in specific situations where it is effective. "Anyone with a baseline knowledge of" pharmacology would also agree that the standards applied to vet and human pharmaceuticals are not the same, as well as that the active ingredient is not the only thing that matters, as e.g. how the product is packed or what other ingredients are included to ensure efficidnt uptake varies between products.

So, at best, people take a sane dose and it has no effect whatsoever as covid is not an intestinal worm. At worst, they take too much and it makes them more ill. There are indeed people hospitalised for it, whether that's a global, national, local or non-issue I can't say but that any unnecessarily sick person in the context of a pandemic takes another bed away is pretty obvious.
I can blame whoever I want, but at the end of the day, the problem that I have to deal with is the user saying - Teams doesn't work. What am I supposed to do with it?
Hmmm, interesting. That hasn't been my personal experience.
LibreELEC is a fork IIRC.
I'm always amazed at people's resistance to the concept of tree style tabs (or even just tabbing vertically instead)... The horizontal space is far less valuable on widescreens (most websites are just a column down the middle anyway) and top/horizontal tabbing systems are worthless when you have a non-trivial number of tabs.
Well, yeah, violent shaking of the internal components can damage them.
True, I'm just really annoyed an open-back socket isn't the default choice for the manufacturers. Not like I enjoy using a Dremel on my motherboard...
It's not that cost plays into it, it's that cost (broadly defined) matters, and the metric you have chosen doesn't matter. As a consumer I don't care how energy dense a fuel is; I care only about what it costs me to get that energy.

You might try to argue high fuel energy density implies low cost, but this is clearly not the case in general.
> simply making a Linux distro

It would take decades to migrate Windows users to a Linux distro.
I was recently forced to migrate my hobby FOSS project the other way: from DigitalOcean to AWS. The primary reason being: a generous quota of 60,000 emails per month to send via SES. Most mail providers give only up to 3,000 to 6,000 emails per month.
A succesful one, i'd say.
