Maryland husband and wife arrested in nuclear submarine spy case
The US is next level global hyper-power. PRC only seeks to be regional hegemony / super power, i.e. pacing power. PLAN has enough ships and replenishment fleet to project to Djibouti/ME oil without issue for years. Not enough to go toe-to-toe with USN yet, but enough for anything else. Training is just focused on securing SCS right now.

Within context post WW2 westphalia sovereignty construct PRC has right to finish civil war occuring within her domestic territory as recognized by UN. Interests of 1.4B PRC outweighs 24m on TW. If TW wants to be free, they'll have to fight for independence like everyone else. And they should, except the woeful state of TW military and doctrine suggest they're completely unserious and not up to the task.

The world has demonstrated essentially zero interest in defending TW. AUKUS wouldn't exist if US courtship to contain PRC hasn't failed with EU, NATO, G8, FVEY, QUAD etc. There's literally no one committed to defending TW among the west while most of the global south is firmly in the PRC camp. Even the US wouldn't give TW Article 5 tight security pact and no regional countries that could help are reorienting meaningfully in PRC containment except maybe Australia. No countries except the US have even floated the idea of sanctioning the PRC for taking TW. There aren't even contingency sanctions like Iran nuclear programs, that's how little interest world has in interceding. US war planning itself has pivoted from TW defense to TW armourer. Outside geopolitical theatre for headlines, it's getting more and more clear no one is interested in defending TW.

I have a number of locking cord ends (outlets) for extension cords that do use the holes to retain the male plug via ball detents. They require you to push a button to release the plug.

I've never seen anything else similar.

I'm curious on the design of "hospital grade" plugs as that wasn't in his survey and I know that they are designed for higher retention force than commercial or residential applications.

I am a pretty average Python programmer(5 years teaching, 15 years writing).

I still wonder what was the reasoning for allowing creation of local objects with the same name as builtins.

Okay it can be nice to redefine pprint as print I suppose.

Still how many sum, list, min, max, dict(!) have been erroneously redefined in beginner tutorials and beginner code.

From my experience sum and list suffer the most.

Sure there are linters that will warn you but there should be a setting for the interpreter (as in -Werror in GCC) to disallow this silliness.
Your post is deceptively vague. What "perspective" (dogwhistle for opinion) do you feel Wikipedia isn't validating for you?
> (language features, performance gains)

There haven't been any notable language features added since java 9 besides some basic syntax sugar (which is already covered by stuff like lombok anyway).

For features and performance you might as well just target .NET 6. It has things that have been perpetually 'too hard to implement' (read: oracle doesn't want to pay their engineers to impl it and will sue you if you do it yourself) like value types, generics without type erasure, no checked exceptions, etc. and with .NET 6 performance is better than OpenJDK across the board.

I mean the value is really implementing AWS’s API surface area in a single control-plane overtop of the usual on-prem tooling. K8s is kinda getting there but is too narrow in scope I think for what people actually want.

In addition to local dynamo, they also have local AWS Lambda execution via AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model).

You invoke it via the command line

`sam local invoke [OPTIONS] [FUNCTION_LOGICAL_ID]`

Behind the scenes it is running an attached docker container and feeding you the output. I found that it works actually very well and mimics the cloud invocation environment perfectly.

The problem is that it stubs out any other services you run. So if your Lambda adds something to SQS or SNS or SES or S3 or anything else, it simply stubs those out. So advanced functions do get difficult to test locally. But This Localstack emulator may solve those problems (but I haven't used it yet)

> Wealth is the incentive for the wealth creation you're observing here.

That's definitely not true. The great bulk of people, who do the great bulk of the work of value creation, can't possibly be motivated by wealth, because definitionally they won't receive it.

There's also no reason to think that the ecommerce revolution wouldn't have happened without Bezos or some other person becoming a zillionaire. There are plenty of entrepreneurs who are happy as long as they get to make things happen and make decent money.

Absurd levels of wealth are an incentive for wealth concentration, not wealth creation. The creation of value would certainly happen without that. And generally happens better without it, which is why we have things like antimonopoly laws.
We measure equality wrong. We measure it on income, but should measure it on what we can get for it. And that way we are more equal now than we have ever been.

Do you mind posting some relevant links for us family men? ;)
The KMT absolutely did not want to give up its title of "Republic of China". It had been only 30 years since the civil war. KMT leadership was still people who had personally fled the mainland in middle age. The president at the time, Jiang Jingguo, was on the young end (he was the son and heir of Jiang Jieshi) - and even he had only arrived in Taiwan at age 39.

None of those people had strong local ties, either personal ones with the non-Mainlander population or political ones with homegrown political movements. Taiwan, for them, was at best a consolation prize, not a home.

From the US perspective, why would they go out of their way to call Taiwan its own country when neither government, on either side of the Strait, was interested in that?
It frustrates me how they always go for the biggest common denominator there, the lowest level shared by everyone, but what's hardly used by professional users: don't let me download a jar file, please give me Maven coordinates. Don't tell me how to click in the console to get an EC2 instance, please give me an example Terraform snippet. Don't just show me how AWS CLI returns a blob of JSON when I assume role, please tell me how to use aws-mfa properly. I understand and respect their hands off approach to these more opinionated tools. But ergo, I tend to skip over the Amazon properties when finding what I need in the search results!

Does anyone have any details on repairability of such single cast structures?

To me it seems like Tesla is going ahead and build a car in such a way that even after a minor accident you can throw the entire car in the trash.

Sure it makes it cheaper for Tesla to produce such parts but for the environment which they claim as saving this is a horrible idea IMO.
It guarantees that in overload situation the requests that get handled are handled quickly. In the same situation a FIFO would grow until all requests are really slow or time out without increasing throughput. The reason to keep old requests in LIFO instead of dropping then right away is that they can be served when load drops, just in case there's still someone waiting for the page to load.

The safest, cheapest choice for applications that are heavily maintained is to use the most recent version. LTS is designed for legacy applications that are no longer heavily developed, and might benefit from security and bug fixes only (note that this model is new; in the past, back when there were major versions, minor updates included both patches and big features).
I think it would not be impossible for a talented, well-funded group to pick the top 20% of AWS's services and then implement them with the top 80% of features, with an API-compatible layer.

Even "just" to emulate a single region with 3 AZs would be useful for testing and for prod for many people. I know of several large organizations that to this day haven't scaled their CI beyond one region.
Now... want to service the battery? You will have to take it off along with the sears, and probably a lot more things.

The problem with tiny cylinder cells is that you need a lot of structural support, and that does not contribute to overall load/rigidity of the car.

I guess the issue was accute enough with cylindrical cells to mandate such drastic design decisions.

Nix allows you to abstract over your shell scripts. Like pack those fuckers in a derivation and now people can install them with Nix in a uniform way (and compose them with their own packages) instead of manually shell scripting.

You can even use a single overlay to add a namespace to your company's nixpkgs, which will then allow your colleagues to discover all the versions of all those tools with nix repl

> pkgs.CJefferson.ghc<TAB>

and boom! All the GHC versions you've worked hard to package across branches and repos etc will be at their fingertips.

As is always the case with FP, composition and abstraction is the big longterm win with Nix. No other comparable tool comes close on those axes.

Two years user of NixOS here, moved after using Arch for about 3 years. Overall I'm really happy with it.

I also evaluated Guix when migrating from Arch. My raw and honest opinion about it is that it's just an attempt at open source fragmentation with zero innovation(I'm not impressed by Scheme or Lisps) that uses GNU marketing/branding/philosophy to gain adoption. I decided not to waste any time with it.
Ivan Rogoz: Illusions and optical effects
> as recognized by UN

Beijing flagrantly violates international law, e.g. maritime law—appealing to it is ironic. In any case, it has no rightful claim to Taiwan nor its people—any such assertion is an intentional misreading of post-WWII international law.

There is fighting will to defend Taiwan in several of China’s neighbours; Australia, yes, but also India and Japan. The U.S. policy position, that an invasion of Taiwan would merit shedding American blood, is bipartisan and strengthening. There wasn’t such consensus, in America or internationally, before Xi started being needlessly aggressive to further his personal political interests. (Australia was in the process of pivoting away from the U.S. and towards Beijing.) But he is undisciplined and so here we are.

If the Chinese population is being led to believe a Taiwan invasion wouldn’t result in significant loss of life, including on the mainland, I guess WWIII will be at least be interesting.

Its repairability score: 0.0. Welding aluminium is extremely hard, and specialty alloys even more so.

And nobody else will be able to make exact replacements without same very expensive, one of a kind tooling.

On other hand, lots of cash for Tesla from making spare parts.

Hejlsberg said it multiple times: Most software developers handle exceptions centrally, e.g. around their event loop.

If an API really throws a new exception which can be handled otherwise than displaying "something went wrong", then I dont think its the task of the programming language. This should be in the release notes.

What should we expect when we are pushing any disagreement whatsoever out of the mainstream? I was vaccinated the day I was able to be, but if I started browbeating everyone else around me who was slower, they'd just cut off contact and start associating with people who weren't total jerks to them.

If the only ones who are listening to the disagreeing moderates are radicals, we should expect an increase in radicalization.
random.shuffle() has bitten me that way a few times too:

array = random.shuffle(array)

because I expected it to return a copy or reference, instead making my array None.

It would also enable chaining operations:

array = array.append(A).append(B).sort()

In-place vs immutable copy is a language design choice with tradeoffs on both sides, but there's no reason that I can see to not return a reference to the list.

Perhaps recognizing this is really the job of an external linter. Sometimes I wonder if the future of enforcing canonical formatting on save like "gofmt" or "black" will extend to auto-correcting certain goofy errors on each save.

mypy would yell at you about this, but afaik type-checked python still isn't the norm.
no real place to make such a comment where it's not out-of-place, profile IMHO makes sense then.
No, because Gradle isn't checking the JVM version, the Groovy runtime is. (Specifically, the Groovy compiler seems to run fine on the buildscript, producing a buildscript bytecode file; but then, upon load, the Groovy runtime seems to check that buildscript bytecode file's JVM bytecode version metadata before doing whatever-it-does when loading it.)

Gradle itself isn't written in Groovy; it's 5% Java, 95% Kotlin. The Groovy runtime is only spun up to compile and run Groovy buildscripts (i.e. the default kind of Gradle buildscript with a ".gradle" file extension.) If none of your buildscripts are written in Groovy, then you're not compiling or running any Groovy code, so that runtime check never executes.
I think people will continue to search and observe things that they are unable to predict. This is true in almost any field.

One person tells me my problem is that I might be an asshole and you tell me my problem might be that I'm too nice... Why is it so far fetched to suggest that maybe the problem is not me? What if the problem is that most people in power have impostor syndrome and they feel jealous and/or guilty when they see a competent person who didn't achieve as much as they did. It makes them doubt their own success narrative. People don't want to be reminded how lucky they are; as an employee, I would be a walking reminder of that. That's the best explanation I can come up with to explain my experience in recent years why I struggle to find opportunities. I had many more opportunities 5 years ago back when I was far less skilled.

CTO types wants to be mentors to starry-eyed juniors, they don't want to improve themselves anymore, they think they're already as good as they can be, they don't want to be schooled by some low rank person.

First of all, never listen to Elon Musk on scientific topics, he has no training and often spouts nonsense which he later may decide was a joke.

Second of all, nuking obviously (1) produces far too little energy for terraforming, and (2) produces large amounts of dust and radioactive fallout. It's also very doubtful that melting Mars's poles would do much to help with the habitability of Mars - it will still be extremely cold, extremely lacking in Oxygen, extremely lacking in atmospheric pressure, and extremely radioactive on the surface.

We also don't know how much water is left on Mars after the atmosphere was washed away - water may have frozen, but a good amount may have simply boiled away in the low pressure and been long carried away by the solar winds. Until we know for sure, boiling away more water would be extremely irresponsible.

Also, given humanity's current total energy output, there is simply no way to terraform Mars. If in the future we will discover some way of using orders of magnitude more energy, we could visit this, but given current scientific knowledge, any energy used to start terraforming Mars is as wasted as trying to terraform the Sun.

That the article poses the philosophical works as being part of the definition of the word.

From the opening:

"Kairos (Ancient Greek: καιρός) is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment.[1] The ancient Greeks had two words for time: chronos (χρόνος) and kairos. The former refers to chronological or sequential time, while the latter signifies a proper or opportune time for action. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative, permanent nature."

Whereas actually, from Greek speakers here, the difference is that chronos is when you say "it's taking a long time", and kairos is when you say "it's time for lunch". All that "proper or opportune time for action"? "Qualitative, permanent nature"? That is a very specialized usage, mostly used in foreign languages.
Getting vaccinated after successful recovery even improves immunity against Covid-19 reinfection. So there is a medical benefit in vaccinating the recovered.

Also, it is extremely hard to scientifically and politically account for recovery as proof of vaccination. In some European countries, it sort of works, when you have good standards on how exactly to determine and track infection and recovery. Even then there are tradeoffs, because the immunity after vaccination is much better studied and much more predictable.
