Having watched that video, laowhy presents a biased view on the topic. Not a biased view of China mind you, but because his views echo the triumphant 90s zeitgest that capitalism, liberalism, and what can be cast as a "laissez-faire" attitude (supposedly being necessary to the development of a country) is for him the de-facto aka obvious best system. The underlying thread is still that "Fukuyama take" that capitalism and liberalism are the end-of-history.

Laowhy provides a compelling narrative, but it also feels like it is just that: a narrative.

China as a country has endured and has at hand many more tools to ensure its stability. It is not a simple dictature or the USSR, which could be brought to its knees via a mix of political and economic ostracism.

The video sadly feels like some feel-good geopolitical video for westerners: "don't worry about China because China worries about itself and hides it, badly".

I'm confused. I thought wind turbines are relatively cheap to operate. You have an initial investment to build them and then some amount of maintainance, but certainly on land that's not very expensive.

With subsidies, it can make sense to replace wind turbines early and collect new subsidies for a new one.

However, I don't understand why you would take existing ones down is the subsidie stops? That suggests that they operating at a loss even when the wind turbines is already written off.
Shutting down nuclear in Germany isn't "due to Fukushima". The legal basis was set in 2002 with plans that would have allowed nuclear plants to go on operating until an estimated 2015 to 2020 (it's about years of operation, not years of existence).

In 2010 the plants were granted an extension by the conservative party, 8-14 operating years each, depending on their age. 2011, after Fukushima, that extension was scrapped for the most part, reverting to the previous terms.

So yes, Fukushima accelerated the shutdown after CDU first slowed it down, but the original plan was for nuclear to be already gone by now. That there's still nuclear power going on until 2022 is due to several plants not operating for a while in the aftermath of Fukushima (due to operating life time being the relevant number).

That original plan also aimed for a massive build up of renewable power sources which has been sabotaged in much the same way (e.g. installed wind power capacity going _down_ due to messed up updated regulations: can't upgrade a wind mill in-place while simple repairs aren't cost effective). Cost us ~120k jobs in renewables, too.

Coal had full political backing though: Coal plants have been built illegally (with no political consequences), property has been seized to dig more coal (while the same conservatives pushing these seizures claim the eco movement wants to dispossess everybody), the 40k jobs related to coal are considered indispensable.

tl;dr: We're replacing nuclear with coal because politics sabotages everything else. Fukushima is just a footnote in that mess.
Do you understand that Western Australia hasn't opted for the 'let rip deaths be damned' strategy that the US has and has instead had zero community transmission for the vast majority of the pandemic? Your comments read like you've got little understanding of the situation here full stop.

It's great to see so many different alternative Router OSs.

I have a pile of routers, more than a dozen, which have stopped being updated and just basically abandoned by their manufacturers, well within their functional life, and many of them expensive, £100+ "pro home (wifi) routers".

For some time I used a variety of OpenWRT(LEDE)[0], DDWrt[1], Tomato, PFSense[2], OPNSense[3] and others, because CVEs in my edge-router / firewall isn't something I'm keen on.

I use an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter now, but I'm looking to move to a perhaps PCEngines + OPNSense for my next replacement.

In the context of vulnerability analysis it is often more convenient to mark undefined behavior with something implementation-defined. This is why you can say "a buffer overflow will overwrite the return address" or "this integer will wrap to be negative", or, in this context, NULL is represented with the zero address/bit pattern.

> It's sad that people want to risk giving up a good chunk of their country for a while due to a nuclear accident.

The current alternative is losing large parts of the whole planet due to climate change. Even if we don't factor the extreme events it creates, air pollution from coal kills more each year than all nuclear events related to power generation ever.

I mean, sure, there are significant drawbacks to nuclear power, but that's like talking about lead paint issues in a burning house.
I've only heard good things about mullvad and their Wireguard-based VPN solution (...so long as random reddit comments and forum posts are to be trusted).

I wonder what 5/9/14 eyes actually do with the intercepted data? Isn't mere processing of the said data, a gargantuan task? Is this where Palantir comes to play or is it more like of a `cat atlantic_pipeline | grep bomb` thing?
TBH you need to combine both, NASA uses safer languages and strict processes for example. Simply moving to another language might mitigate some possible issues but will definitely won't solve everything

> the former nuclear disarmament movement, and nuclear power had become somehow mixed up in it.

Nuclear power was mostly interesting when it had weapon grade materials as a side product. It also explains why that horribly expensive mess has been subsidized the way it has been. "A simple power source" would have had to face competition by other power sources, but these others can't help equip nukes, so nukes-making nuclear power plants have been the focus.
Nice project. As a developer I've tried to consume NetCDF and GRIB-files from Copernicus but that's a real pain. I like that you have soil temperature. I'll try to make that data useful for when I can plant next spring.

Ghost is a different product to Medium IMO. Both are blogs but Ghost is targeted for professional bloggers, while Medium, Blogspot, WordPress etc are more casual. Maybe it was a mistake to put Blogspot in there as it wasn't really a community, but they were interlinked in some form of web ring.
> In the basic model of a computer architecture, the screen is abstracted as a pixel array in memory - set those bits and the screen will render the pixels. The rest is hand waved as hardware.

It was. I still remember the days.

It was nice to be able to put pixels on the screen by poking at a 2D array directly. It simplified so much. Unfortunately, it turned out that our CPUs aren't as fast as we'd like them at this task, said array having 10^5, and then 10^6 cells - and architecture evolved in a way that exposes complex processing API for high-level operations, where the good ol' PutPixel() is one of the most expensive ones.

It's definitely a win for complex 3D games / applications, but if all you want is to draw some pixels on the screen, and think in pixels, it's not so easy these days.

The design of roads and intersections is a great point. I've seen a number of them in the US that I found hard to believe had ever been through any kind of planning / design phase.
What is preposterous about it? If anything we can probably guess that the 40s to 80s were so nice because government spending went up. The 2008 blip was just the bank bailout.

It looks like government spending has stabilized 40 years ago. Considering how much the economy got "worse" from the perspective of the average because China got more powerful since 2000 it's actually strange how the numbers remained stable.
There is nothing really wrong with the methodology, it just that you have to understand what they are measuring and what the definition of a website is.

They are not measuring cron jobs, mobile apps, services, games, etc, all large sectors within the field of programming.

If we combine this survey with the Stack Overflow survey we can conclude that websites are built with PHP in the backend and with JavaScript in the frontend, nothing really chocking.

One problem with the Stack Overflow survey is that I'm not sure that the community of more esoteric languages like Erlang even uses Stack Overflow, I guess that is why it is at place 11 for W3Techs and 35 for Stack Overflow.
The greatest flaw of GBoard is that it doesn't treat space as just another character that could be mistyped, but as a delimiter that's always assumed to be in the right place. This makes the error rate ridiculous.
I used Swiftkey for a few years and thought it couldn't get better... until I found Fleksy.

The autocompletion is just superb and nowhere near anything I tried before. It's made for typing without looking or worrying about hitting the right keys, so if you're not really comfortable with Swiftkey-like typing, you might wanna give it a try.
No it won't. These will easily be compensated by offshore wind parks. It makes no sense to build wind turbines near people's homes who then will be affected by noise and the strobo effect.
UNIX became popular because it was free beer with source tapes.

Unrestricted glasses could really transform the society. Imagine looking at girl in the bar and getting her resume and other things known about her online identity without even saying a word. Imagine red rectangle around some guy in the street "was convicted for murder in 1998, released in 2018" and people avoiding him just in case.

Not sure whether it'll be good or bad in the end, but it'll really change lots of social interactions.

The damage could be controlled by proprietary API providing very limited data to the third-party code. But that wouldn't be open source.
For me, debugging was always too slow in JetBrains. I don’t know if it was a result of the IDE or the language (Python) but I would always end up using print statements instead.

With elixir reloading a single module is fast because of the functional architecture so I can at least drop down into the REPL instead.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the problem with applets was that they were too powerful and it took eons for vulnerabilities to be fixed.
A big part of the cost increase is also linked to political and social fears: after Chernobyl contracts dropped through the floor so there’s been a huge loss of knowledge in both building and designing new plants.

Plus designers tried to design even safer plants, meaning costs increase, meaning you want to increase power density, leading to further complexity and thus cost increases.

The would would be in a much better position if we’d kept building (and improving) Gen IIs as we tried to resolve Gen III’s teething issues.
It is a choice. You choose to submit to two weeks of quarantine in either hotel quarantine (that you pay for) or at home; OR you choose to stay outside of Western Australia and accept the risk of getting Covid from places where community spread is rife. No one is forcing you to return.

In fact, there are few return slots available and many people can't get a flight back to Australia from places like the UK or the US. And yet they still try, because comparatively our life out here in the state of Western Australia (bigger than Texas mind you) is FULL OF FREEDOMS BECAUSE WE'RE COMPLETELY OPEN AND FREE OF COMMUNITY SPREAD.

China is rapidly heading towards the middle-income trap. All of the positioning in the past decade is in the hope of avoiding it. This is a massive challenge as the prosperity of the upper classes is based on cheap labour. All of the advanced economies overcame this by moving jobs up the value chain. China can't easily to do this due to its massive population, a large part of not very well educated. There is a real risk of social instability when semi-skilled jobs dry up.
This feels like mullad is trying to tell us something?

Or, maybe, it's just slightly inept at lobbying for their cause? It should really end with a specific call to action, or at least mention if there's any legislation going through the process right now that needs support or opposition?

I guess the call-to-action is to use Mullvad (which I happen to do, and can't complain about). For Germany, I will add http://freiheitsrechte.org/ as the local equivalent of ACLU & EFF that one might want to join.
The article is from 2010 (missing tag) so the author likely is talking about 32 bit x86 machines. Also compilers from that era were less likely to exploit UB if at all. Certainly knowledge about it had only started trickling out in the general industry at the time as compilers started exploiting it with Chris Partner’s blog about it following about a year later [1].

We have a mountian top in my county that was saved from development, and was permently zoned to only allow horses to inhabitate.

There are a few houses that butt up to the area.

The horses have owners, and people stop to pet them.

One night a home owner heard a horse yelllng out his window. He didn't think that much about it, but the horse would stop yelling.

He shined a flash light on him, and decided to call one of the other horse hill owners.

The owner finally arrived, and brought a vet.

The horse's stomach twisted. The vet fixed him.

Whenever that guy goes out on his porch, the horse runs up to him. Almost out of respect?
You test the integration of your code with the web framework. An integration test doesn't have to be end-to-end. It tests the integration between multiple components. In this case it would be your code with the integration of asp.net core.

A controller usually doesn't contain any business logic, it does the HTTP part. So you test serialization, model binding, return codes, etc.

So you use a mock to check, if the framework does the expected model binding. If the values you post via JSON end up in the right properties for the service call.

a typical controller method would look like that:

IActionResult StoreProduct(Product p) {
var success = service.Store(p);
return success
? Ok("Stored")
: BadRequest("Product doesn't contain all necessary fields");
}

There is no reason to unit test this controller, because the code is trivial. But it makes sense to integration test it, and verify the serialization and binding of Product works, if the correct status codes and content types are returned. Because that could go wrong.

It is often easier to do that with a mocked service, but you can also use the real service for that. Often this would hit the database and make those tests much slower and harder to set up.

I understood from the article that only some high-end hotels are doing this. I mean as long as it's optional why pay it? Even if I could afford to spend £500/night for a hotel, why pay some additional optional charge? If they can charge me that much money for a room, they can afford to pay their staff.
Why Tech community is so oblivious to optics technology of smart glasses?

I get repeatedly surprised how little most techies know about optical tech behind smart glasses. It's almost like a blind spot.

That's basically what's holding us behind. But people are still not aware of waveguide tech vs google glasses.

Then there are also people who think Snap Spectacles or FB/Rayban glasses are "AR"?!?!
The article also mentions a decline in energy production from wind, in absolute terms:

"In contrast, renewables generated 114 billion kWh of the total, which represents an 11.7% drop on an annual basis and this was largely due to the decline in wind power."

This part is completely unrelated to covid
Which determines that he is qualified to speak about Black Cube, not that he works for Black Cube. There's a difference.
I don't have a straight answer to you but I can simplify your question: why there are cultural differences regarding originality?

The West despises copies. In the East copying is normal. The million dollars question: Who is right? Originality grants a better future, copies a better present.
For the VMs, the absolut minimum memory requirement is 16GB. The more, the better.

Otherwise it takes around 40 GB of disk space for every day of data. For an history of 100 days, 4000 GB are required. With compression I could save 50%, but have to invest a couple of days development time to make is work. You could calculate the AWS bill now ;-)

Data on cold storage is an option, but it also super slow....

Currently, I did not yet integrate all the high-resolution models that I want to. Coverage for Europe is great. In North America I will add high resolution NOAA models next.

Most likely I will keep only a limited subset of data as history, but on fast storage to make is accessible quickly
I wouldn't call a foreigner a China expert. I wouldn't be a China expert as Chinese, and I can read Chinese.

And, it is not abnormal at all that big company defaults on tens of billion debts. Without digging deep into the issue, I think the company is playing a too-big-to-fail game with the government, by bundling itself with many small investors, it will have more leverage with the government since the government is cracking down on big real estate companies. This is actually not the first time the company use this strategy. The interesting thing now is that is the government going to allow bankruptcy to happen or not.

EDIT: especially the foreigner lives in China spending time with his expats friends, no knowledge of the society, no knowledge of the business at all.. I just started reading Red Roulette, you will know, even you are Chinese, if you are not in the business circle, you don't know business..

> There is no guarantee that the in-memory representation of a NULL pointer is "all bits zero", that is implementation-defined and completely up the the architecture you're running on (and the compiler).

I always wondered if all the C codebases that do "if (somepointer)" to check for NULL were actually wrong of if the standard guaranteed that NULL always evaluates to false even if it's not implemented as zero. Apparently it's valid and everything works even in a theoretical architecture where NULL was not implemented as 0:

It got betrayed by Google itself when the Chrome team dropped support for DartVM support.

Then AdWords team which had just gone through GWT => Dart rewrite, kind of rescued the project from closing down, after the key designers left.

Finally Flutter team kind of gave a new life to Dart, which made Dart only relevant in the context of Flutter.
