Preface this by saying this was a smaller school, and the students had limited access to wifi. For example a teacher would create a set of radius credentials that would only be active for 1 hour. Since data was also expensive that was not an easy work around.

In my grade 11 electronics class, one project we were assigned was to create a digital clock with notifications for one of the teachers. Me and a friend set up a raspberry pi with magic mirror installed on it, and modified some available plugins at the time to allow a google calendar for test dates embedded on the display. The teacher was quite pleased with this, but we convinced him to hard wire it to the network for "stability". In the background we had installed a vpn connection to one of my vps that I used to host my website, and created a new set of sudo enabled credentials naming it magic-mirror or something. The teacher then reviewed the project and changed the normal user credentials etc. Then right before it was installed in the ceiling, we attached a wifi adapter to the pi. A week or so later we remoted in through the tunnel and enabled a wireless hotspot from the pi. This provided us with internet while we were close to the classroom for the next year. People also over time learned that you could extend the range by hot spotting additional jumps using laptops.

Weird you assume owning animals would be legal. You have to pay the carbon tax on those cows flatulence you do realize right?

If animal farming is so unethical we need to make plant based "meat" and "beyond meat" then farming no longer exists and you can't just buy a cow anymore.

2 futures exist, everything the same as today or the future where your kids never know the taste of actual meat and only "meat" provided by the "Amazonn of "Meat" ". I'll leave it up to you to figure out how we get to option A or B.
an interesting thing is that though birds have super-efficient lungs, they can be very fragile.

As any parrot owner knows, if you overheat a teflon pan, all the birds inside your house will die. So bird owners use stainless steel. There are other non-stick pans available, but it's really hard to wade through the marketing to figure out if overheating will kill the pet that's been in your family for years or even decades.

unrelated, the name of this article made me wonder if it was about thin air and lift, thinking how helicopters can't fly over everest.

But a mountain like everest might have a huge amount of updrafts to lift birds into the sky.

If you've ever stopped at an ridge overlook along california highway 1, you might see something curious. the ridges are bird-superhighways. the ocean air hits the cliffs and deflects upwards, and this updraft lets birds "surf" up and down the coast. So if you stand there and are patient, you'll see lines of gulls cruise by going north or south without flapping.
That's not really answering the question. How do you define what the "one thing" that the service handles actually is?

You can think of data structures like arrays in an algebraic way. Consider the type of "arrays of booleans, of length 8." This type is in 1:1 correspondence with the type of "8-tuples of booleans", i.e., it's a product type. Like any algebraic type, we can compute its cardinality: there are 2^8 values in this type. Similar thinking can be applied to the other (abstract) types that you mentioned, although it helps to have information about their internal structure.

The author seems to pinpoint the cause of the great Permian-Triassic extinction to the acquired ability of microorganisms to process lignin, while most of the researchers attribute it to the extensive Siberian Traps eruptions.

Granted, decaying lignin subtracts oxygen from the atmosphere, but had that happened alone the levels of oxygen would have gone down quite slowly. What we see instead is a drop from ~30% to 12% within a few hundreds of thousands of years. It means that a catastrophic event (such as prolonged supervolcanic eruptions) probably played a bigger role.
I guess it's mainly due to patents and such. I'm also pretty sure even the developers don't understand exactly how the algorithms work. sure they modeled some factors into it, probably too many for one person to fully understand on their own...
but once you start crunching immense amount of data it's unavoidable to get unexpected results. and must be impractical to fully monitor.
The beginner programmer copies the property definition.

The advanced programmer simply writes "type Ensure<T, K extends keyof T> = T & { [U in keyof Pick<T, K>]-?: T[U] };", thus removing the need to copy the property.

The master programmer copies the property definition.
Forgive me if I've misunderstood - the premise was that, out of the infinite set of data that hashes to a particular hash/checksum, there is a unique data set that is "obviously" the real one? Or at least, that the set is meaningfully bounded? My reply is that this is not the case. There will be infinitely many "plausible" data sets as well.

You could collide every hash in existence merely by making undetectably tiny alterations to Shakespeare.

Yeah, you're fundamentally missing what I wrote, as well as pigeonhole principle and the basics of information theory.

Let's say you replace the quantum computer with an oracle. You have an infinitely long dictionary, and you can turn to any page and see your hash, as well as every possible input that could form that hash. There's billions and billions of options that all match your hash - how could you pick which one is definitely the "right" one?

You're no closer to knowing what the transmitted message was, because of the astronomical number of inputs that you now have to sift through.

[ Technically, you're (length of hash in bits) closer. Say you have 10 bits of hash, or 1024 values. There are (on average), 2 11-bit inputs that create that hash, 4 12-bit inputs, 8 13-bit inputs, and so on, following the powers of 2. At input of N=30 bits, you have 2^20 =~ 1 million possible inputs with that exact same hash. 1KB? 2^990, or "one followed by 990 zeroes". ]

> find one piece of code in the client that supports doing so

But that's the point. There is a "server" running on your machine that is snooping on your processes (therefore the one-click integrations). The "client" you interact with never sees this info, instead just what the "server" exposes to it, so I claim you'd need to reverse engineer the "server" or wireshark your network and read probably-encrypted communications...

The key thing about cryptographic hashes (not mere checksums) like SHA1 is that the distribution of the errors doesn't matter. Effectively, they're all the same. That's the point. If mere "runs" of bits were sufficient to trigger a collision, then the hash wouldn't be strong enough for cryptography!

This means that you can simply throw out any such modelling, as it is no longer relevant. You "care" only about bit-error-rates and hash collision rates, but even mere SHA1 is so thoroughly past the BER that it is essentially perfect. That is, it is indistinguishable from perfect on all pratical computers for all intents and purposes.

CRC codes have their uses, but if you just need to detect any corruption of a large-ish file (over 10KB), then cryptographic hashes are both fast and "perfect" in this physical sense. You will never get a collision with SHA256 or SHA512, even including adversarial, crafted inputs. The same "strength" attribute is not valid for CRC codes, they're vulnerable to deliberate corruption by an attacker.

So in that sense, SHA hashes are stronger that CRC checksums.

York, who played foster parent to seven geese, adds, “They’re amazing athletes.”

The wonderful thing about your statement is it is unclear just what “side” is correct.

You say “ The more you push, the more resistance there is. Doesn't matter how right you are and how wrong they are.”

That applies a ton to a bunch of ”pro mitigation” people out there who absolutely refuse to look at the data and science. Both strongly show that covid “badness” is very strongly correlated with age to the extent that the median age of death is higher than the average human life expectancy. Kids are almost completely unaffected by covid.
Well, these investors do have some bigger vision regarding NFTs, or crypto as a whole.

The idea being that we live in a rapidly digitizing world (software eats the world) where everybody has a smartphone. To them it seems an inevitability that you have a digital wallet holding your assets, whether they be physical or digital.

In your case, it won't have a JPEG, which you consider gambling. But it might have concert tickets, a token of your favorite football club, assets from a game you love to play, or even the proof of ownership of your real estate.

I don't know how and if this vision will materialize but that's the big idea. Your concern that companies and institutions are invested in digital assets (specifically NFTs) is misplaced, the actual gambling is done mostly by big crypto holders.
I can't answer your question, but I strongly suspect the backstory on your furious IT admin went something like this:

* SEND happened
* Minor kerfluffle ensued among various functionaries
* Big Boss worried that something Big was going on
* IT admin was questioned and had no answers
* Simmer for a few days, Big Boss repeating questions and IT admin being flummoxed
* Eventually adequate logs are found and correlated that place you as the likely responsible party
* IT admin is lathered up about a big nothing because Big Boss keeps asking and their competence is in question
* IT admin unleashes the pent up frustration of a few days of stupidity and job security uncertainty on you, and is not satisfied that all this drama was initiated by boredom and not malice
* IT admin reports to Big Boss, who basically brushes it off because they have moved on to other things -- and at the end of the day knows they run an organization filled with kids, some of whom are more curious than others
* Issue disappears
A pattern I have implemented is to have my API code on both ECS/Fargate and Lambda at the same time, and send traffic to the appropriate one using an Elastic Load Balancer. I flag specific endpoints as "cpu intensive" and have them run on lambda.

Implemented by

- Duplicating all routes in the API with the "/sls/" prefix (this is a couple of lines in FastAPI)

- Setting up a rule in ELB to route to Lambda if the route starts with /sls, or to ECS otherwise.

- Set up the CPU intensive routes to automatically respond with a 307 to the same route but prefixed with /sls.

Boom, with that the system can handle bursts of CPU intensive traffic (e.g. data exports) while remaining responsive to the simple 99% of requests all on one vCPU.

And the same dockerfile, with just a tiny change, can be used both in ECS and Lambda.
No.

There are a lot of unknowns around fusion plants (with the current big one being is it even feasible to build one). The last time I was looking at grid infrastructure questions the largest power plants on US grids stayed below 3GW because, as I was informed but cannot cite/verify, that was the limit on infrastructure carrying capacity of the western grid.

One of the unknowns is what is the minimum cost to build a plant capable of sustained nuclear fusion. Once you know that, you will also know what its net energy output is as well. Next you will want to know what is smallest practical increment of net energy output and what is the marginal cost of that increment.

Then, as we've been discussing here, what is the sweet spot with respect to total plant cost versus kW capacity (it's LCOE). I have chosen to use as a base estimate the cost of building a nuclear plant (the discussion of nuclear LCOE is here[1], here[2], and here[3]). I base that assumption that if we're going with heat conversion then the primary differences between fusion and fission plants will be reactor construction and fuel efficiency.

If we take it as a given that the LCOE for nuclear is approximately 10 cents per kWh, if our Fusion plants cost the same and can generate twice the power that is 5 cents per kWh. Given the difference in energy production between fusion and fission I'd like to believe it would be closer to 10x more power for the same cost or an LCOE for 1 cent per kWh.

The optimism here stems from an assumption that plant costs scale with size so smaller more powerful plants win in two ways, more power and less cost.

And yes, nobody knows if we can even build these things yet. So it really is all just speculation at this point.

I wouldn't expect that to work reliably because git doesn't actively remove unused objects from the store, hence why you can do `git reflog` to go find stuff that's not actually referenced anywhere anymore. `git gc` is necessary to make them actually go away, and whether that ever happens and how often is up to the server. I know for example that Github practically never does it, and even if it did happen it would be hard to reliably ensure no references to the relevant object still exist anywhere on the server. For example, you would have to force push every branch on the server that references the object, and if the git server creates branches for internal use you might not be able to touch those or convince the server the object is unused. And even if all the references are gone if the object is never actually deleted from the server then it should just get used again if you try to do a `git push`.
And the ability to run automatically run tests on any part of the code base because everything uses Blaze. You can schedule your wide-reaching changes on the TAP train and see what breaks across the whole monorepo.

In most cases, the library authors are responsible for driving the migration. This is different from third-party libraries adding causing pain to everyone else because they decided to change an interface without sending PRs to migrate all their users.

Well that’s a pretty big chunk. Can’t tell if it’s metal or stone but meteorites are worth a lot. She may not realize how much the meteorite is worth.

According to this site:
http://www.meteorlab.com/METEORLAB2001dev/pricing.htm

Common iron meteorite prices are generally in the range of US$0.50 to US$5.00 per gram. Stone meteorites are much scarcer and priced in the US$2.00 to US$20.00 per gram range.
At the very least, the core utilities need an overhaul. Grep, find, text manipulation utils, maybe some other ones could benefit from a more consistent and modernised (CLI UX-wise - modernising features is waaay out of scope) interface so newbies and intermediate users alike don't get lost (I definitely have no desire to keep Googling "how to do X" every time). The modern efforts to rewrite them such as ripgrep, bat and fd seem to be doing a good job.

As long as the new and the old are available alongside each other, I don't see why this wouldn't benefit the field of computing as a whole.

Not to mention, the "safe" and "effective" vaccines, according to all available data, are nothing like what they were advertised as.

Hell, the President of the USA came out and said you won't get covid if you get the vaccine. And no journalist is calling him out on this obvious lie.

Given that environment, it seems strange to have any vitriol to those who aren't submitting to the new biosecurity state.

By the time the pandemic became a problem in the US, there was already a global PPE shortage, and people were doing the same thing that happened in other countries, where they'd buy up supplies of PPE just so they could sell it for profit online.

Meeting analysis tech company attracts $10M in seed funding
I'm omitting the "compulsory" part, however, the "medical procedures with a relatively untested, proprietary technology is where I draw the line." is simply ridiculous. I'm fairly certain (some exceptions do exist) that you have had many proprietary drugs and medical procedures which have been far less tested than Covid vaccines. I mean, pretty much all new medicine is proprietary; and the vaccines have now been injected in billions of people for a long time and we have observed the results.

I can accept the argument "this is where I draw the line" if and only if in pre-Covid you would have refused most of what doctors would prescribe you. If you want to draw a line between pre-Covid modern prescription drugs (all proprietary, many also with weird new tech, all tested on far less people than the vaccines) and the current vaccines, you're going to need a substantially different argument than "medical procedures with a relatively untested, proprietary technology". Heck, even simply saying "I don't believe that such procedures should be compulsory ever for any reason" would be a much more reasonable argument than that.
It must be possible for SREs to refuse a service that doesn't meet certain criteria.

I think it's the same line of thinking as RISC and CISC (reduced/complex instruction set computer). There's no such thing as a RISC machine or a CISC machine, all computer ISAs live on a spectrum that can be described as RISC-like or CISC-like.

There's no such thing as a micro service or a macro service (in terms of there being a perfect delineation). They're simply terms to describe certain design goals. Any given service might have several qualities that can be described as befitting a macro or a micro service.

It's all too easy to fall into the no true scotsman trap.
