In China (I live there since 201708) the nuclear program is winding down (the most recent nuclear plant, Taishan, started 14 months ago and already has one reactor stopped after a leak). Nuclear plants produce less than 5% of the gridpower, and they plan for it to produce 7.7% of the gridpower by 2035!

Renewable energy plants produce 27.32% of the gridpower, and projects are everywhere.

Carbon emissions are growing simply because the economy is booming even faster.

In what way? The Nordic countries basically made a joint press release calling upon Putin to release him back in 2020, but that's about it? That's not much more than lip service.

Also, one of the labs that verified that he was poisoned with Novichok is located in Sweden, I suppose (the other one in France).

Any company who can afford to use Mailchimp already has an email channel that works extremely well; you have to, in order to do business. How does someone even sign up for Mailchimp if they can’t already email reliably?

Mailchimp is a SaaS, and the value is in the software, just like any SaaS. Specifically the value of email platforms comes from list management, compliance, integrations, branding, etc., all of which are hard to do with the basic-but-reliable email systems we use every day.

It's a fantastic example of 'good enough', because the alternative was doing this all by hand or using mechanical tools which - while sometimes quite fast - were error prone especially for long and repetitive calculations.

An Olivetti electronic/mechanical calculator for instance took up half your desk, was horribly slow and consumed a ton of power. No way that you would ever take it with you and working with the beast would require a serious investment in time, they weren't cheap either.

These little calculators were complete game changers. The model in the article was one of my prized possessions, there simply was no alternative that I could have afforded.
Java is a fantastic language. It's simple and in the right environment can be elegant. It's incredibly easy to ramp up new engineers on it and the tooling thats available make discovery and navigation a breeze.

It may lack a lot of the fancier features of some newer languages but its still a very effective language.

I think it might be application specific behavior? Because I can for example have multiple instances of the modern calculator app and they show up side by side in the taskbar. But I cannot have multiple instances of the modern alarm app, it just focuses on the already open instance.
They are mostly on subscription; but what is the rationale for subscription? The right to upgrade, and the ability to have all machines running the same version. Remember, that in order for subscription license to be valid, it is usable only for machine that came with OEM license in the first place.

I once worked for a corp that didn't have subscription. The rationale was, that is was not important who was running which version at their computer, and the subscription was thus a cost on top of OEM license that didn't bring any value. Since the computers were refreshed every 4-5 years anyway, they always had a supported Windows version.

This strikes me a somewhat narrow view of the world. Using a GC is an engineering trade-off like any other.

Taking a dogmatic view on an engineering trade-off isn't good engineering, and closes you off from exploring other, potentially better, ways of solving the problems you actually care about. (Which probably have nothing to do with the details of memory management)

Something tells me you wouldn't say "I prefer exactly no borrow checker [in Rust], and I don't think I'm giving anything up by skipping them".
> Now you are moving the discussion into Which country have actual free people though.

I'm not moving the topic, that is an integral part of the existing discussion: Apple and Google employees were threatened with imprisonment if they didn't remove the app.

> but are they really that much better off?

Now who's moving the discussion away from topic? It certainly isn't me lol

I'll entertain your question though: some will be better off, some will be worse off, and some will not be affected at all. When you deal with any large dataset, such as the entire population of a country, there will always be individual samples which demonstrate the benefits of most outcomes.

HOWEVER I do not believe the instances of those who are better off under a dictatorship equal out the atrocities that dictators use to retain their control. And that is the real crux of the problem.

> That people chant USA! USA! USA! while doing something doesn't mean they are free.

I'm not American and don't have a particularly high opinion of American politics either but it's still better than a dictatorship.

I also suspect you're now drifting into a philosophical argument about what it means to be "free".

> It does feel better, sure, but it doesn't give any less media bias at all.

Finally you're back on topic! As I stated in my previous post, every country will have bias in the media. That's unavoidable. However what is important is that the media have freedom to choose their political biases. In "free" countries you'd typically get new outlets which will favour the current government but also outlets that will be highly critical of the government. And that is the difference between Russia and most of the rest of the world. It might seem like a really small point if you're used to Russian (or any other state-controlled) media but I promise you that it really is a significant difference!

> If anything US media is more biased than Russian or at least as bad

No, it really is not. You have platforms that can offer opposing arguments and full press freedom to use them. America even has rules stating that one should have the freedom to speak out against the government (and this was upheld in court when Trump tried to block people he didn't like on Twitter). Compare that with most dictatorships where vocal opponents often end up exiled (or worse!) and you'll see my point that you cannot argue the two to be equivalent.
Putin has attacked a good many political dissidents on foreign soil, is it really such an unbelievable claim?

> likely result in many other western IT firms closing their offices and leaving

That's just naive. Russia and China are huge markets. Apple and Google are not going anywhere unless their hands are forced.
> Sinclair products were almost comical in how ingeniously their engineers shaved off any pennies they could.

Yes, that was their rule from day 1.

My favorite: in the early days, Sinclair designed a very cheap transistor radio -- so cheap that it didn't even have a speaker, just an earphone (mono, one ear). Sinclair noticed that the available earphone jacks had a built-in switch that was intended to disconnect the speaker when the earphone plug was inserted. Since there was no speaker, this switch was repurposed to serve as the on-off switch for the unit -- plug in the earphone and it's on, pull it out and it's off. That saved both the cost of a separate switch and the space it would have taken up.

I believe this hack required manually bending the contacts on the jack switch to turn it from NC to NO.

Awesome! I'm really happy to hear that. I expect that you're going to have a LOT of fun with that project. Please let me know if you ever need another pair of eyes to help with your project, even if it doesn't involve adding support for Playable Quotes. As I recall, the Game Boy shares a lot of design features with the NES.

Oh, and regarding recorded input playback. That is something we haven't gotten working yet. Some of the details for that are in our blog post. The short version is that button presses can happen in the middle of a scan-line, which can make it really tricky to play back if the emulator wasn't designed with that in mind!
I’m not denying these threats were issued, but actually following them through would be a very irrational thing to do. So it’s probably just a bluff. Of course it doesn’t really matter that much since Google/Apple were going to comply with their requests anyway.
> It may lack a lot of the fancier features

Coming from JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and Go back to Java I can tell you that’s actually a good thing.
> As cliché as this sounds, Microsoft needs someone with a vision for Windows at the helm, someone they trust enough to go hands off and let them materialize that vision.

Completeley agree and I want to add: they need a product owner, someone who has used multiple operating systems in different form factors like OSX, iOS, Android, and Linux and can see the pros and cons of them instead of taking sides.
> In this tutorial I’ll try to describe how git works, without using git. Instead, we’ll create a simple, git-like system using just zip files, diff, and patch.

Pretty neat! Could probably make some simple shell scripts from the examples shown, not-git-status, not-git-commit, etc
>1% tax on the full amount of every trade. Fuck off worthless HFT mega brain drain. Fuck off short termism in markets.

I think a much better solution would be to mandate "slower" exchanges, i.e. exchanges would accumulate orders in a hidden queue and resolve them for example every 1 second, after that it would publicly publish all orders submitted to the last tick. For most market participants this change will be virtually unnoticeable, but it would eradicate HFT and all microseconds shavings associated with it.

In Brazil we had only clones, as the military dictatorship wanted to bootstrap a local industry. The only exception I remember was HP-85, which was classified as a scientific instrument or something other than a personal computer.

The first computer I had at home was a CP-200, a ZX-81 clone with an inverted video signal (white on black) and calculator keys made by Prologica (who also cloned the ZX-80, the Intertec Superbrain, the TRS-80 model 3, CoCo and, later, PCs). Didn't last long - we returned it to get a much more practical Apple II+ (a clone, again). The damage to my brain, though, was done: I discovered the thrill of writing programs.

The ZX Spectrum was the only other Sinclair cloned in Brazil, by a different company, Microdigital.

I really like the elegant, minimalistic electronics design (even though it did hurt performance to task the Z80, which is no speed demon itself, with putting up pixels to the screen) of the ZX-81.
I was like that too. Kids with C64 had plenty of games, and having better sound and graphics they just played games. I always advanced in coding when playing games became unrewarding/boring.
Both youtube and app store are local and remove/block by regions; so if something is removed from multiple regions, it is because it infringes some law in all regions.

I managed to kill one PC floppy drive by switching the motor that rotated the disk and not switching it off (because my crash handling was nonexistent and floppy read routine I was writing crashed somehow). I guess the disk rotation motor (or its switching circuitry) overheated (after all, it was supposed to be used with a reasonably low duty cycle): the drive would no longer rotate the floppy (so I could also not tell if the rest of the drive still worked).
Maybe, because criminals don’t go to gun ranges.

Meanwhile a local elementary school is shot up… or a cinema… or a place of worship… or a high school… or another high school… or a concert…

If only those toddlers had firearms. Or those concert goers who were fired upon from 100s of yards away from an elevated position.

These things ONLY happen where guns are not controlled properly. Surely even if you believe in your 2nd amendment rights, you can see that there is a heavy price to pay to have that right. Pretending there isn’t is denying reality. Also pretending that right would stand a chance against the US military moving against the government or people is laughable. But logic is out the window on this topic… no one is going to change anyone’s mind here.
There's currently a test going on in Belgium about a low cost alternative ( wireless / mesh / 60 ghz)

https://pharrowtech.com/news/pharrowtech-telenet-and-unitron...

The trial is expected next year. Follow up on it and consider it later on. It could bring down the cost to a fraction and has an expected bandwith of 1Gbit/s per person.
Nobody is going to do that so long as there is financial reason to not.

Which is not to say Google and Apple don't care about their employees, clearly this article suggests otherwise.

It's just not true that pulling out is a viable or even straight forward option.

You could also make an argument for US government placing pressure on these companies to keep a presence in Russia so they (the US government) can have some kind of foothold to push soft pressure
“Withheld”? Lol, no. That sounds nefarious. It wasn’t. The founders wanted to retain ownership. That’s their right. It appears employees were paid fair market wages for work.

The inverse would actually be evil. Imagine being granted equity and a below market wage in a company that the founder never sold.

No it is not that obvious and that's my whole point.
The real goal of their app store is not user convenience, security or safety, it's to be able to fully control what the user can and cannot do.
They created the perfect environment to enforce this kind of decision, because that's what their real goal is, this kind of news shows it.
They need to remove all freedom from their users, to feel safe as a business in any kind of market.

If Apple had integrity, they would allow to install apps outside of the store and other stores. This way they could still be within the limits of governments while not putting their own customers in bad situations, but they are fighting really hard against it.
I wonder how this could work in practice. A Gov entity will have to connect to some bank APIs to streamline the monitoring? Most banks don't have APIs to connect to. It would pretty wild if the Gov had to ask people to share their bank passwords and then had to screen-scrape the data from their accounts to "establish a connection".

Neat! Marshall Kirk McKusick is giving a talk. He’s the author of some books including one of my favorite books, The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, 2nd Edition (2014). I bought that book when it came out and I love it but I still haven’t finished reading the whole thing. Didn’t realize it was that many years ago since it came out.
Java can be amazingly performant. One particular example is a video compressor handling many concurrent streams, recompressing them on the fly and shipping them out again saturating a gigabit link.
Good Catch, although I seriously doubt that was the reason why no mentioned it. Because most dont know how it was tested.

I like that it's generally fast to set up, has decent documentation/tutorials available, and is priced fairly cheap (for small projects).

I hate dealing with config issues and error messages. I'm currently facing an issue in a CloudFront distribution at home, and just got done a multiday issue with an SQS at work. The queue thing was very frustrating. The organization has standards for what needs to be set up, like encryption, access patterns, etc. I asked the group that owns our tools related to AWS if they had a template that follows best practices that I could look at - nope. Ok, then maybe theres a project I can look at as an example that follows our standards - nope. So as someone with mostly a developer background it was a lot of frustrating trial and error to fix an issue that I didn't even create.
Maybe I've simply doing it wrong, and while I never went rock-climbing properly, but I've been going bouldering regularly for a long time and basically... I've not felt any change except a little bit of increase in arm/hand/finger strength, but also only for the muscles used in bouldering and nothing else. Nothing for stamina or general fitness, more like doing a single strength exercise with dumbells every day.
