Yeah, I'd say it just depends on your needs.

PC is definitely "better". It does require you to opt-in to function versioning, but if your ops automation is good enough to make that easy, its just better. The biggest advantage over warming pings is, really, that it keeps your metrics and logs clean and focused just on user invocations, not on weird faux-invokes that are extremely difficult to filter out.

But, its downside is that its ~100x more expensive than warming pings for infrequently invoked functions (defined as: average concurrent invocations over a month timeframe between 0 and 1).

If your company has the money, go for PC. But don't feel bad about going for warming pings; it ain't a bad setup at all.

I recently got an Oculus Quest 2 and was immediately stunned by the dearth of content that exists on the platform.

AR/VR is a hard sell, still; besides the initial experience - and as a dev in the AR/VR industry I'm honestly waiting for when we can get rid of the screen door effect in VR and better solutions to the lighting problem in AR.

The Houthi are not currently considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. or, as far as I can tell[1], any other nation. (They were for about a month, but the decision was reversed by Biden.)

Not taking a position (as I know very little about them), but this would seem to contradict your argument. Unless you're using "terrorist" to indicate your opinion of the Houthi, as opposed to any official designation.

[1] I rigorously conducted my own research. It consisted of Wikipedia, and only Wikipedia. Your mileage may vary.

Freelancers: Stop Abandoning Projects
While some clients deserve it, many do not.

1. Stop using a contract as an opportunity to learn a new skill. You're going to take 3x longer to do the same work as someone with the skill.

Yes there is research and everyone checks StackOverflow and YouTube that's 100% ok. But ask yourself—would you bill the same hours to your client if they could see what you're doing with your time? Haha probably not.

2. The next dev who inherits your work will probably scrap it and start from scratch. They will disagree with how you built something, and will not or cannot "pick up where you left off."

3. Budget can be high or low, you see the same pattern. I've personally witnessed 7 projects abandoned and all were with different teams, scopes, complexity, and budget (6 figures on the high end, 3 on the low).

>If you claim that gravity does not exist, then turn around and say that the effect we call "gravity" accelerates matter at 9.8 meters per second per second.

>Then you go and claim that magnetism does not exist, I will probably not believe you.

Fair enough. Now apply that reasoning to my original statement.

If public health authorities claim that masks don't work, and that's a lie, then they say they do, that's a lie too?

That's the root of my confusion. Given that those two statements are not just mutually exclusive, but also completely contradictory, they obviously can't both be false.

And as many folks call out the statement about masks not working as a lie, how does it follow that those same people refuse to wear masks because they "distrust" the messenger.

If the messenger is lying about "masks not working," how is it reasonable to reject wearing masks because they lied about masks not working?

France is not the world leader in nuclear energy. They're one of the leaders.

The US produces a lot more energy from nuclear and has a lot more reactors.

China and India are building a lot more new reactors than France.

The nuclear industry in Russia and South Korea is as vibrant as France (South Korea getting around 30% of its energy from nuclear today is extremely impressive given where their economy was at just 40 years ago).

And at 50%, France will drop below Ukraine.

Right, but the actual benefit comes from having the REPL and the debugger in the same place. Plus the chrome REPL is fantastic, so suggesting I just use a different one is sorta like saying "you can just use your phone" when my default is a Hasselblad. When I'm writing JS/Node I can write code in the REPL in the context within which it will execute, it really cuts down on how much I have to hold in my head at one time because I can just ask the computer. It also makes exploring much much faster because my iteration times are as fast as the computer can run my code. I find it's a much more natural way of programming and about as close to SLIME as I can get while still writing in a language that has easy economic value.
Again, "Not me and my side, it was all the other guys."

The Washington Post reported that six other countries had restricted travel from China before January 30, six did so on January 31, and by the time U.S. travel restrictions became effective on February 2, 38 other countries had taken action before or at the same time as the U.S. restrictions.

In what universe does telling people to get out and gather in groups make sense when there is a pandemic looming.

Looking at the timeline: "The first case of community transmission, because it had no known origin, is confirmed in Solano County, California, on February 26."

So the day after the call to gather, you have confirmed community spread.

It can get pretty messy. For example, they could wait until they're 21 to try them as an adult, even if it was committed at 17 or younger [0 p. 128]:

> a person who committed the offense before his eighteenth birthday, but is over twenty-one on the date formal charges are filed, may be prosecuted as an adult.... This is true even where the government could have charged the juvenile prior to his twenty-first birthday, but did not.

However, the statute of limitations for CFAA violations is 2 years [1 p. 2] so this might not apply. If somehow they can still go after him at 21, this post could play a part in evidence for performing the hack (I truly hope not).

I really liked how you framed the danger.

But what about if we had a Reactor Dump storing 100's of these reactors, and then something happened to that dump, either it was hit by a meter or it was intentionally attacked in some way. Could that result in an apocalyptical type event?

> If that error is uniformly random, then a 128-bit sum is optimal and no different than 128-bit hash.

If the data you read is uniformly random then what you say is correct. But if there is a single error (bit/byte/word whatever) which is placed uniformly randomly and takes a uniformly random value then other codes are vastly stronger than using a hash.

While what you say is technically correct-- that a 'uniformly random error' means replacing the input with an entirely independent input, that isn't what most people would call an 'error' and isn't the kind of error that most applications of a check value would detect.

They're actually up-to-date Adobe binaries as the article says that Adobe's Chinese Flash subsidiary still maintains Flash and releases security updates for it each month.

That's actually pretty amazing work.

Being super preachy, as a cliched straight white etc etc... after riding a bike I sort of get complaints about -isms, emotionally, in a way I wouldn't without.

Everyone has already concluded that you deserved it. Whatever happened. It does not matter if you were wearing hi-vis, or had a light, or were in a bike lane, or the nearest bike lane is 5 miles away and on the pavement for some reason, or were 3.1 ft from the kerb or 2.6. If you were stopped at a red light and are now sprawled in front of it because a van didn't, you're clearly lying. If a motorist jumps a set of temporary lights and hit you when you had the green, you're clearly lying. You deserved it, always and forever, is the only argument you need to know, the rest is window dressing.

4M Workers Quit Their Job; the Post Pandemic Effects
I dunno much about the Middle Ages.

But I'd argue that the most important Naval Battle for the 20th century was Battle of Tsushima. Yes, even more important than Battle of Midway. Midway was more climactic for sure, but "important" is a bit different.

1. The Battle of Tsushima proved that Japan was a world-power and no longer a backwards country of sword wielders. Sinking the Russian fleet (who was considered one of the great Naval powers of the world) was a big deal, and put Japan on the world stage.

2. The overwhelming victory became Japanese Naval doctrine: the Japanese "learned" that if you sink the enemy's fleet, the enemy will surrender. This doctrine, Kantai Kessen, led to the Japanese strategy of WW2 (aka: Sink the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. Because American carriers luckily escaped the Pearl Harbor attack, the Japanese would pursue Midway to continue to try to decisively sink the remainder of the fleet, again). Indeed, the young "Yamamoto" (original name: Isoroku Takano) lost two fingers in the Battle of Tsushima.

3. The world watched the battle, and learned that bigger-guns were better. The Battle of Tsushima led to the development of Dreadnaught Battleships, which had fewer but bigger guns with longer range (much like the Battleship Mikasa, one of the most pivotal ships in the battle). All battleships built after Tsushima had this singular battle in mind as inspiration. This single battle inspired Germany's Bismark, USA's Iowa, and the Japanese Yamato.

4. The Battle of Tsushima was the last time ships lined up and attacked each other with their guns in a blaze of glory.

5. The Battle of Tsushima basically ended the Russo-Japanese war. As pivotal as Midway was for WW2, there would be a long, drawn-out conflict for years, regardless of who won Midway. If Japan hypothetically won the Midway Naval battle, it'd still be a grueling mission to actually take Midway from the garrisoned American forces. And, as we know from reality, even though USA won Midway decisively, it was a grueling "island hopping" mission (including Iwo Jima), followed by the Atomic Bomb, before the USA would win.

-------------

Arguably, WW2 battles would demonstrate that battleships were obsolete and that the Carrier reigns supreme. The Battle of the Coral Sea, more so than Midway, demonstrated the new realities of Naval battle: Carriers attacking each other "beyond the horizon", far outside of the range of any gun and only accessible through fleets of aircraft.

But unlike Tsushima, this fact was already known and recognized by the major navies. Strategically, the Battle of the Coral Sea and even Midway were conducted where both sides recognized the importance of carriers in the Naval mission.

----------

As we enter the modern age: there are no such naval battles any more. There is a bunch of theorycraft with how missile destroyers, nuclear subs, and carriers would interact with each other, but none of which has been tested (and ideally, none of this equipment is ever truly tested).
Heat is fairly trivially stored for months on a mass scale, check out Polar-night Energy's system - basically, you heat up (usually with just resistive heating) a bunch of sand in a 40metre-wide insulated cylinder, and when you want to use that heat you use fans to blow air through ducts that are surrounded by the sand.

The amazing thing is that every single part of the tech is old and boring - resistive heating is literally as old as electricity, electric fans and ducting are trivial, heating sand is basically impossible to screw up, etc etc.
> I firmly believe that space-based solar power collection is our most likely future.

Isn't this the same capital expenditure analysis your post starts with though? How many billions does it cost to get the solar panels to orbit in sufficient quantity? And ground stations to receive the energy beams (microwave presumably). This is where Musk/Spacex push for cheap kg to orbit really matter. Even in the 70's they worked out that mining the moon for raw materials to build space based solar was much more economical.
The problem with this type of study is that it can by definition only cover the known externalities, but most of the price of externalities is far into the future. This means that the real margin of error is huge (and unknowable at this time).

As someone who got into game development by making Flash games as a kid, I would love to see Flash open sourced. I don't think it's necessarily true to say they have nothing to lose by open-sourcing it though. Who knows how many private shared libraries are in there that are still required by other still-active Adobe software. And they're also probably not excited to give up rights to a massive pile of code which they could conceivably want to use in future projects.

In other words Flash likely isn't some isolated directory they can just zip and share to the world, and even if it is they might want to pick the bones later so why throw it away? (from their perspective)

Seems like Wikipedia is incorrect as well?

"The main purpose of the [Price–Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity] Act is to partially compensate the nuclear industry against liability claims arising from nuclear incidents [...]."

"By 1966 it had become apparent that the industry would still be unable to obtain adequate private insurance, so the act was extended until 1976. [...] In 2005 it was extended again through 2025 via the Energy Policy Act of 2005."

Why can't the US navy deal with this? Who would even balk at an action of our Navy to stave off environmental catastrophe? Why would we even lend credence to the opinions of those who wouldn't want intervention in this way?

In the past we would use our military might ostensibly to prevent the spread of communism of all things. We did whatever we wanted in Central America unchallenged, due to this excuse. In the present and future, we should use our military investment to prevent the spread of environmental damage. Something like only 100 corporations are responsible for 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. I'd be proud of a military that sent in special forces units to disable these factories that are objectively directly attacking every organism alive on earth. Pearl Harbor or 9/11 doesn't even compare to the environmental damage wrought upon us by the greedy people behind these corporations.
