This is quite a hard infographic to parse as I have no intuition as to relatively how dangerous the extreme sports are and it looks like there are extra things to know like the plane is not one trip but 100000 hours.

It’s a cool idea but I think an improvement would be to use say fewer activities (maybe 4) and then use one plus a multiplier for each case.

E.g. chance of dying in a year is the same as 6 skydives.

I think it’s an important topic to communicate so people can see the risk they take should they choose no vaccination. If the graphic takes into account vaccination side effect deaths that would make it a great argument maker for vaccination.
I do this for my mobile app, because the users are often working in remote areas without cell coverage or any network at all.

I have a pretty simple strategy though: I use SQLite on the mobile devices and when the device is back within network coverage, take a copy of the SQLite database, zip it up and throw it up to the server. It ends up in an S3 bucket (all the device database backups end up with a UUID as their name), kick off an automatic process via a Lambda (triggered by S3) that imports the SQLite database into the bigger DB, job is done.

It works pretty well, SQLite databases compress REALLY well. The only tricky bit is having to check the version code of the database in case I have an old version of the app floating around in the wild (it happens).
A lovely sentiment beautifully expressed, and of course my very best to you in this horrific time.

This is good. The inability to take build artifact inputs into FreeBSD bhyve/jails, is usually why people say they can't go there (it's certainly whats limiting me) -So having an alternate explicitly handle the input I HAVE moving to the product I WANT is really good. Thanks for clarifying.
There's a difference between parents screwing up and giving them a blank check to cripple their kids. If my parents knowingly and intentionally crippled my sense of sight/hearing/touch/taste for the sake of crippling me, that goes far enough into "sufficient abuse" that retributive murder suddenly appears in my "appropriate response" options.

As for the existing cases of child abuse, we've already got things for that. We have anti-child abuse laws and their like. They're not perfect, but they denote a line of behavior beyond which is not tolerated.
If they really wanted to hide it, they would cover it like they do it with new cars when testing them on public spaces. And construction workers would have been much more vetted what they have in their pockets. This is not TikTok failure, but a infosec failure on the project of this thingy.
preemptivly storing images from camera of rejected samples would have saved everyone more time, as it would be enough to review images of failed samples and notice a flare. of course if that was an option.

> China permitting North Korea to develop and possess nuclear weapons is a violation of China's role as a nuclear super power,

While this is true, the US had a hand in helping the DPRK obtain the necessary tools to do so way back in 1994:

In 1994, President Bill Clinton agreed to a deal with North Korea aimed at curbing their desire to develop a nuclear weapon, an agreement which the networks at the time hailed as a sign that “the Cold War is really over.”

Under the 1994 framework, which North Korea eventually violated, the U.S. helped the rogue regime build a new nuclear reactor that would not be capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium in exchange for international access to its nuclear facilities, although the United States caved and the inspections would not start for several years.

Crucial inspections are being delayed five years while the rest of the deal is implemented. American officials say the delay is a small price to pay for getting North Korea to shut down its entire nuclear program

But Kim Jung Il’s regime gets to keep what intelligence experts believe it already has, at least one bomb. And it does not have to permit inspection to nuclear waste sites for 5 years.

The very framework designed to prevent the DPRK from obtaining a nuclear weapon actually laid the groundwork for them to not only obtain nuclear technology, but to fast track their program to produce even more nukes.
To clarify, I was thinking a quick command line thing. Right now, I do it in a browser (both DuckDuckGo and Google produce the answer easily enough).

Meteor uses `minimongo` on the client which sync's with the server; effectively doing the same thing. It's actually amazing how much better the UX is when you have spotty coverage.

No you can't! Ceiling light fittings (in the UK, at least) are often always live regardless of the switch setting. This is because they are typically wired in a "loop" arrangement with separate loop and switch cables.

Thanks! I skimmed the article and it seemed to make the somewhat bizarre claim that the disease is correlated with the fires. On a more careful reading they were setting up the fire argument and I missed the punch line. I can't stand the 'let's throw in a bunch of personal narratives and turn a 3 paragraphs story into a 7 pages mini-novel' journalistic style.
What do you do with the backups?
Here in Bangalore where stray cats are fairly common, you don't see squirrels all that often. Because they mostly get converted to cat food.

A while back I used to feed pigeons at our home roof top. One day I saw while the pigeons were eating the wheat a cat hunted a pigeon. I realised my wheat feed was acting like a bait for cats to hunt pigeons. Stopped feeding them thereafter because I didn't want to be responsible for helping the cat kill the pigeons.

Rat population is less too. But rats are good at hiding below the earth, but I do witness a cat hunting a rat every other week.
Wow, 20% is huge! I wonder if any of that is due to low profile aerodynamic designs on hybrids with big A-pillar blindspots, rather than noise?
plus, it's hard to compartmentalize science. Once you get the bomb, it's not that hard for other people to figure out. So do you ban all German scientists and get the bomb 20 years later (and maybe let the Russians poach them, because...well it is a market with demand...), or get the Germans, and lose a few to espionage/traitors.

I feel these national borders on comms equipment will eventually be a paper tiger of sorts, because, well, tech is tech, and it's hard to stop the flow. And things work best with open standards anyway.

my understanding is that the author is talking about stack usage at runtime not the size of an entire stack which can be set by the pthread API you mentioned. it's confusing because the article starts with a discussion of how default stack size differs depending on a platform.
They could keep that sweet controversy. Elon can go the Not-A-Flamethrower route and release a FSD driving update that changes the name to “Not-Autopilot.” Throw in a new game that requires tapping the “I am a passenger” confirmation, but is _only_ available while driving with “Not-Autopilot” engaged.

EDIT: This is somewhat sarcastic, but the name Autopilot keeps coming up and invariably there’s a “think of the laypeople” response. In my opinion, it’s only what Tesla owners (or authorized operators) understand about Autopilot capabilities that matters. It doesn’t (shouldn’t) matter what my Camery-driving neighbor thinks Autopilot means. Apple has long offered a “Do Not Disturb” feature. Many laypeople might recognize an allusion to the hospitality industry, but there’s obviously a different “feature set” on my device than Do Not Disturb in a hotel room context. The main issue is not what they choose to call it, but whether or not Tesla is fulfilling their obligation to give the operator a clear picture of the capabilities and limitations.

OFF-TOPIC:
I don’t care what it’s called. I’ve owned a Tesla since 2018 and I purchased the FSD and AP packages for an added cost of $8K. I’m a bit salty because that $8K pushed the value of my Model 3 up enough that the insurance company wouldn’t total it after an accident. Repairs of ~$29k were less than half of the “value” at the time of the accident. However, 3 years later I’m here hoping the algorithm decides to let me use a feature that a) I paid for b) kept me in a car that would have otherwise been deemed a total insurance loss.
They can adjust how they serve traffic to me in various ways but I see no reason why they should be able to tell me that I can’t use an alternative program to view the data (a new browser I’m writing, etc.): if they’re worried about bots mass-scraping data, they have rate limits and other similar tools. If they’re worried about me saving a copy of the data I can see in normal usage of their site on my hard drive for later reference, they should mind their own business.

There was an article published in Nibble that I desperately wanted to read¹ back around 1982ish, but the only library near me that carried it was a few suburbs away. I remember calling the library to make sure they had the issue on hand and the library thinking that I was joking. 13-year-old me patiently explained to her that a nibble was half a byte which didn't really help my case.²

1. If I recall correctly, it provided a way to use a 100ohm dual pot joystick from Radio Shack with the Apple ][ which expected 150ohm pots on its paddle/joystick inputs.

2. And because you're probably dying to know, it turns out that the issue in question had gone missing, so I never did learn how to make that joystick work with an Apple ][, but then I also didn't have the money to buy one anyway.
What types of test cases should be automated for efficient crossbrowser testing?
RonDB vs. Redis
Yup. I’m not claiming anyone has successfully applied the general concept of memoizing expensive compiler operations at the AST level. There’s all sorts of practical complexities that come up with such a design but conceptually I think it should be doable. Using your “the text is the serialized AST” argument, we see primitive tools around this concept that operate just on the text contents and codegen end-result with ccache/sccache/bazel/etc.

However, using a richer AST representation and knowledge about what expensive operations the compiler performs should let you retain cache acceleration even when the high-level text->compiled code fails. Heck, one could imagine that some AST processing could end up being agnostic to a codebase so that the compiler ends up memoizing certain results across all code bases since code is very similar and have similar constructs that should generate very case similarly.
Agreed. I think Cloud Run is the more interesting product and something I wish other providers had similar offerings to. For someone wanting to make a prototype or such then having it scale to 0 is pretty great.
It doesnt have to replicate. Thats optional. Can work 100% offline.

The RX here means it is reactive - i.e. you can subscribe to state and react to it. This is how it updates the display across independent tabs when the data changes, for example.

THATS the main point of RxDB, the sync is just another feature (which you dont have to use and isnt even a default).

EDIT: Im nothing to do with RxDB, and dont use it - but i have investigated it previously.
I’ve always been curious how the residential proxies work. Is someone going around paying people to run proxies in their home? Are these compromised devices being exploited? Are there a bunch of storage units someplace with cable service? The mind runs wild.
Education costs also, China has public education but it is funded very oddly, there are lots of fees that you have to opt into, even if Xi really outlaws cram programs. Things become much more pricey if you raise them in a city away from where there hukou is.
Yeah, that hasn't changed. You can also use the pg_upgrade script instead of a full backup/restore, or use logical replication if you want to upgrade the db server with zero downtime, but upgrading PostgreSQL is still somewhat annoying.
Both recklessly ignore the overwhelming expert consensus, both selfishly risk your health and the health of others around you. It's a perfect analogy.
In Seattle we are ramping up on housing. The problem is that a high percentage of the homeless don’t want the housing. Many prefer to live in the homeless encampments where they have 100% freedom.

As someone who wrote the first of these Cookbooks ("Perl Cookbook"), I know what a massive effort a good one represents. And, unlike Hollywood shows or Dan Brown books, the audience for a good technical book is modest (single digit thousands is good, double digit thousands a great seller now).

At my work they had a server outage every so often, where it seemed to just go down (back in the 90s). Turned out the cleaning lady came in the evenings when there was no one there, unplugged the server before plugging in her vacuum cleaner. And then plugging the server back in.

Probably no difference for the individual tree, but I can imagine that partly eaten fruit being knocked to the ground is part of the seed-dispersal system.
The argument you're making is identical to the argument that was made for interning Japanese Americans during WWII.

There's a growing hysteria and paranoia about China, and suggestions that Chinese Americans should be put under blanket suspicion are incredibly disturbing.

The public may have thought that vaccines would produce covid-zero but none of the scientific literature thought that would happen. The point of vaccinations is to deal with the disease burden of the pandemic phase of the virus. The subsequent endemic phase will then have an order of magnitude or so less disease burden. For the endemic phase boosters would then be used, but we have experience with that in yearly flu shots.

Also when it comes to conflating the existence of breakthrough infections to the vaccines being literally useless to prevent transmission, please see:

These tools are great, but aren't enough to get a full picture, and not accurate enough to give actionable insights.

Most of the quoted tools measure the CPU or GPU consumption. But in a laptop, about half of the energy consumption comes from the screen. And the consumption computers & smartphones represents only 20% of the CO2 emitted by digital activities - the vast majority lies elsewhere, in networks, in datacenters, or in the factories manufacturing the devices. So the tools of this article give an idea of only 10% of the digital energy consumption (source: https://theshiftproject.org/en/article/lean-ict-our-new-repo...)

Besides, measuring the consumption of computer doesn't isolate the contribution of one program, and / or doesn't provide enough granularity to help developers understand what to optimize first. If you have ever tried to use one of these to reduce the actual consumption of a software, you've probably hit a wall. Isolation, reproducibility and granularity aren't yet enough to make these tools suitable for software engineers.

Worse, focusing on the computer consumption may push web developers to just move computations to the server side, where the energy consumption is not measured. This will lead to an apparent drop on the client-side consumption, but does the overall system footprint decreases?

One solution is to use docker to isolate processes, docker-compose to reproduce the client, network and server in a lab, docker stats to get system metrics, and academic papers to turn these metrics (CPU, network and disk I/O, memory) into Watt.hours or Joules. It works in theory, but in practice it requires a lot of engineering to get a good reproducibility and accuracy.

I've spend a year and a half on this subject, and the results of these efforts can be tested at GreenFrame.io. Many web developers already use it in their CI to monitor and reduce their energy emissions.
I agree it sounds weird, but isn't "offline first" a term specific to web apps? It's practically impossible to make one of those without a server.

Yes, I do.

It actually does, try looking at the source code again.

Which is unrelated to the fact that you can use commtext to set their color.

Why are you looking at the CSS and not at the HTML? Look at the HTML, and you'll see that every comment is inside an HTML element (usually a span) that has a commtext class.

It sounds pretty safe. Your only copying rows from one database into another database. Unless you accept arbitrary SQL strings from the user it's not a significant security risk.

It does open up some possible vulnerabilities like can the user overwrite other people's information but mitigating that requires the same validation layer you should have anyway.

Currently to register in the app you have to select US or South Korea. They are setting a strong expectation that you should only do so from one of those countries, which makes it seem unlikely to me that I will find any colleagues -most of move would not think to fake their location. They also won't let you leave a review without a location in the US or South Korea. Makes it all a bit pointless if your company is not in those countries.

Maybe they changed this since you registered?

I think we should be looking more at intent rather than the semantics of how web scraping can be achieved.

Whether you're setting user agent strings or taking screenshots of content doesn't really matter. What matters is what you do with the content/data.

I could build a scraper to mine data on a mass scale to stick it all in a db and instantly clear it. What are my intentions here? Learn a new skill, experiment?

One example in the comments was about phone scammers. Similar phone calls have been made in jest on radio talk shows, maybe not about scamming but impersonating famous people. What differs is the intent.

Proving intent is a also difficult, as initial intent could be disguised to hide a more sinister agenda, akin to a money laundering operation. But at the root of everything will ly intent and that's what you have to get to regardless of the moral arguments.
