It doesn’t use mysaql under the covers, it’s just that AWS WAF doesn’t know about this syntax so it doesn’t filter for it.

Singling out AWS WAF is a bit awkward. I’m sure there are other products that don’t protect against this. WAF in general is a mess, the entire philosophy is broken and it’s at best a speed bump. I don’t know why the industry allowed the moniker.

I don't care what is on the inside of the battery itself if the shape of the battery doesn't fit what I want to use it. I'm pretty sure this is everyone's definition of unique battery per vendor.
The biggest benefit is you get to use Notion for the backend content creation. It is prett different from more traditional WYSIWYG editors like Wordpress’. I think for smaller sites including in some collaborative instances, Notion makes more sense than Wordpress. Of course Wordpress makes a ton of sense in so many ways. Including for most collaborative scenarios.

Mine is a hippie ish free organic growing virtual coworking community. So it is easier to get active members to add to Notion than Wordpress. I think this is an edge case though.
I mean, it wouldn't be a complete road block. But when visiting cross country, it is easy to know folks get up around eight to nine. Pretty much wherever I go. Similarly, I can check out my call will hit around five to know I will probably be interrupting meal time for families with kids.
IIRC one of the main advantages of LiFePo4 batteries is that they can't "explode" under the normal circumstances. And if they buy batteries in China anyway, then why not buy from China as well? I'd understand 20-30% premium, but not 200-300%.

Google probably injects way more than that to fund open source projects: it is called working at Google. $290M is a measly, 600 avg employees or so (let's just assume ~500k for an average gSWE in Bay Area). These cash donations may be nice for indie projects but they are really too small to move the needle at scale. Real-world open source is by-and-large built and funded by corporate employees.
I did some quick googling and the first figure I found was that Americans plant around 1.6 billion trees every year. That is around 4.4 million every day, almost half of what is required for the carbon offset claims by GP.

Actually 20 million trees every 2 days doesn’t sound that ridiculous. Especially as we build more green infrastructure and reduce the daily emissions.

This is such an eye opening experience, especially when you are new to the corporate world.

It's amazing how frequently fancily dressed, well speaking, high paid people sit in rooms and essentially role play being adults while just having absolutely no clue what is going on.
Steel production is one of the largest contributors to global C02 emissions. Reducing it by 30% isn't a solution. Unfortunately, zero-carbon-emissions steel is still not feasibile, which is a major, major issue for the health of our planet.

Why is that a problem? (That's a serious question. I'm not suggesting that it isn't a problem. Apparently it is for you.)

If I write printf("Hello, world\n"), all I care about is that those characters are written to the standard output stream when I run the program -- and that's all the language standard specifies. I rarely even look at the assembly or machine code.

As someone else mentioned, "gcc -fno-builtin" inhibits optimizations like this. Other compilers are likely to have similar options.

Yes, I kind of gave the research short shrift summarizing it in half a sentence. IIRC, they found quite strong correlations between intolerance for uncertainty and conspiracy thinking.

I'm not sure it conflicts, and likely even correlates well with your view of how people relate to power and truth.

Whatever the root cause is relatively unimportant, until an aspiring authoritarian starts herding those who have trouble with objective reality - creates support for a regime that will constrain the rest of us.
> There is no good reason for a C99 implementation behaving in a C90 compatibility mode to simply drop non-conflicting C99 requirements and revert a behavior such as this.

A compatibility with a code which depends on a behaviour of a previous version of the compiler is a reason enough.

If compatibility is dropped you now have a very subtle bug which is hard to discover and understand unless you read about that particular GNUism before. It's also a perfect setup for Schrödinger's bug.
It’s not really a concern tbh. Appstore hasn’t been draconian in that sense. It’s a fair argument that they can do that if they wish but there is no incentive to become that. Quite the opposite actually.
Extremely early days -- the pilot runs at four post offices (one in each of the four cities), and AFAICT it converts a single check into a single prepaid debit card (no reloading, yet).

Hopefully it reduces some of the need for check cashing places and the like, but definitely a ways out from serving historically under-banked communities.

Sorry, but I think you're confused in the same manner my coworker was. Activating the turbo button decreases the speed of your computer.

Maybe yours operated differently, but everything I can find about turbo buttons on the internet indicates that they operated as I remember them - your computer gets slower when you turn the button on. I specifically remember playing certain DOS games where, if I didn't activate the turbo button, the entire game would speed through at what felt like double or triple speed.

From wikipedia on Turbo button:

> On IBM PC compatible computers, the turbo button selects one of two run states: *the default normal speed or a reduced "turbo" speed*. It was relatively common on computers using the Intel 80286,[1] Intel 80386 and Intel 80486 processors,[2] from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s. The name is inspired by turbocharger, a device which increases an engine's power and efficiency. *Contrary to what it suggests, the "turbo" button was generally intended to let a computer run slower than the speed for which it had been designed when pressed.*[3]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button
As a former liberal, I'm not rending anything. I just no longer buy the prevailing liberal narratives.

Only extremists describe those they disagree with as immoral people. I would never think that of my liberal friends or family. Misguided? Yes. Misinformed? Sometimes. Evil? Not any more than anyone else. It's the last point most leftists fail to understand in their zealotry.

If one truly doesn't need it for day to day expenses and just saving (assuming its at least over $200), one can: buy some btc at a walmart coinstar kiosk[0] with the cash (or any other cash for bitcoin methods that has been around since ~2009), sell it for eth with bisq network[1], bridge it to avalanche[2] for weth.e and sell for dai.e (decentralized overcollateralized stablecoin to the $) and at least 1 avax (for future gas costs, you can get away with holding less if one watches the fees), and put the dai.e in yieldyak benqi farm[3] (decentralized non custodial overcollateralized protocol) for over %20 APY in dai.e?

Might loose a bit to fees getting it on chain(s) (though less than intl money transfers if one is used to that), but should make it back pretty quickly.

Couldn't tell you. The website doesn't list that level of detail. It's a 750W motor. It took me 6 weeks after ordering before it shipped due to "global supply chain" blah blah excuses.

It is serving me quite nicely without those kinds of mods. I'm not looking to set any speed records. Just needed something to help me get up the damn hills when I have a load of stuff. It does that better than hoped, so I'm happy.

I wish "non-tech/well-rounded" were better valued or even understood in the mainstream. People mention them as cultural virtue-signals, but it's not part of any interview or screening I've been a part of, and I've done dozens in the last year.

I don't feel that "soft skills" are sought or even desired in an engineer -- I'm only ever asked about some certain framework or technique or algorithm (lol), not even tangential open-ended stuff like "hey how would you approach a customer complaining about X" or "How would you prioritize technical debt vs features in a product's lifecycle?" or, heck, even something fun and off the wall like "you've lost your wallet in a foreign country -- now what?"

I'm glad your startup experience was useful in your own search. Best of luck on your new endeavor! :)
Neoconservatives are not a meaningful cohort in the gop at this point. The nomination of Trump was the end of that chapter.

I think most people agree that Afghanistan And Iraq was a terrible idea. At least all the young conservatives do.

And I honestly think we shouldn't read too much into foreign policy. Both parties are happy to support all kinds of regimes that follow all kinds of anti democratic or anti individual rights ideologies, so long as it's in their perceived best interest of America.

I'm the author of that issue. I think I can be a little more frank here: this is a horrifically short-sighted decision that has me scared for the future of .NET. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the .NET team, and I'm very certain they're not the ones behind this.

I've been incredibly impressed by the hot reload solution that the .NET team has delivered. It's worked remarkably well in preview across multiple platforms and technologies. I've built my own hooks into the hot reload feature, and I've used it to get a tight feedback loop in many different kinds of applications. It's awesome.

I was so excited to be able to point to that feature and say "yes, .NET has a great developer experience - even outside Visual Studio". I haven't always been able to do that. And now... it's going away as a broadly available feature, so that some bean counter can use it to drive usage of a legacy IDE (I love Visual Studio, but let's not kid ourselves about where the future lies).

Immediate feedback (i.e. a fast inner loop) isn't a niche feature - it's an essential element of any creative activity (see: Bret Victor). They are crippling .NET and it hurts to see it.

I'll give you a more specific reply along with the parent poster while I'm at it...
You definitely can cut meat etc, with densified wood, just don't expect it to hold an edge like your steel cutlery, especially if you're using with something besides a soft cutting board. The article mentions oil-treatment so it probably won't absorb water in normal kitchen use.

In terms of edge-retention there just isn't a good alternative to steel atm. This wood will likely preform around the same as unhardened steel or aluminum, So it'll cut but you'll need to sharpen it frequently.

If you're looking more for fancy-pants artistic appeal and don't mind high price, there's always obsidian blades out there from small-time makers. They'll be about as good as ceramic sharpness-wise, but look a lot nicer IMO.
Because it's surprising and breaks our expectations. The author of this article clearly expected a call to printf to be present in the generated code.

> all I care about is that those characters are written to the standard output stream when I run the program

Sometimes people care about a lot more. Such as the ability to hook into a specific function or ensuring the compiler doesn't generate calls to certain functions.

> that's all the language standard specifies

The author clearly cared about the undefined behavior. He had a mental model of what would happen that was perfectly reasonable. It was constantly invalidated by the optimizer.

> I rarely even look at the assembly or machine code.

I do. It's very jarring when you write some code and the compiler deletes some of your calls and reorders the rest. It can really complicate debugging sessions.

> gcc -fno-builtin

Yeah, that's become a standard flag for me. Just checked the documentation and it turns out it's also implied by -ffreestanding which is a better language than hosted C anyway just because it gets rid of all the libc cruft.

> Why would you assume that companies following suit would make symbolic gestures rather than a culture/values shift?

Because companies are generally managed by far worse people.

"Ugggh. You and me are the problem, not some poor smuck in Nigeria or Bengladesh, who's energy consumption in a year is probably comparable to ours in a month"

Indeed, it is very dissapointing to see people talk about Africa as if it's the problem, while a single western nation consumes and pollutes more than the entire coninent combined.

"Nuclear reactors need fossile fuels to work (in the supply chain): To sustain nuclear you need to have a thriving militaro-industrial complex, which in all sorts of manner requires vast ressources which you must somehow buy (or steal"

Nuclear does not depend on any rare materials.

This is only true in a sence that nuclear requires heavy industry to build, and heavy industry depends on oil.

But so does production of train and bridges, solar panels and large wind turbines. In fact wind requires more total built infrastructure than nuclear does. We have to transition to carbon free industry either way, so I am not seeing how this argument works.

"we want to keep the worlds power structure and thus depend on a moonshot to make things work or do we accept to stop doing what has been central to maintain the domination of global north on global south and just do the easy obvious thing"

I think this is a big brain bug, people often reject ideas that challange existing power structures as just too crazy. The trouble is most do it without realising what they are defending and why.
I don't blame the community but the subject. People on car repair fora are perfectly civil to each other; people discussing politics become barbarians toward each other.

Completely agree with you, and thanks for opening the issue and raising awareness of this.

I too have been using it successfully in preview (having been waiting a long time for it). To drop it so close to the launch of .NET 6 is crazy to me.

It’s difficult to take a charitable view of this. The messaging around “needing to reprioritise” feels very disingenuous to me.

Assuming that a soul is something that lasts an infinite length of time, and you value its experience during that time, and its experience cannot benefit from money (or anything exchangeable for money) after some finite period of time, I think that no amount of money is sufficient compensation for losing ownership of your soul.

Agreed (I was long tail risk on HY and IG corp bonds from dec 2018 which still payed out alot in feb/march 2020, was watching the slow motion train wreck with SOFR-UST yield spreads before sept 2019), that combined with all the other shenanigans last year with exchanges and their custodians (I used IB and robinhood), made me sell everything and move into defi and dex only.

Mechanical engineer here. This article is very light on a lot of detail which would allow you to reasonably compare this material to steel, plastic or any other material. Just a few that come to mind:

Hard materials are usually brittle materials that fail suddenly. How tough is it? ie. Can it accept some deformation without significant weakening and will it stretch or crack prior to failure?

What is its compressive strength? What is it's tensile strength? Could it be used to reinforce concrete? Pipe liquids or gases? Does it's strength drop when it gets wet?

How dense is it? How flammable is it? How easy is it to machine without damaging it?

And of course the big one - how much does it cost?

If you subscribe the general worldview that human well-being is an important goal for society and believe that we have progressed so much in the last few centuries because of scientific knowledge and technological inventions, then it becomes clear that the qualities described in this post, intelligence and the ability to come up with useful new ideas, are useful for society.

In my reading, PG did not claim that these are the most important things for society.

This seems like a significant milestone in what I really hope is the path toward the app ecosystem opening up to the level of freedom we’ve enjoyed in the web and desktop software space for decades now. Needing the recurring approval from two mega-corps scrutinizing whatever details of your business and customer relationships they wish, forcing their way in between… feels terrible compared to hooking up to a standard payment processor and doing your thing on the open web. I don’t want your help marketing and distributing my app, I just want to be able to serve my customers and I’d prefer if you mostly ignored us. The phone calls with Apple begging for them to see our point of view and interpretation of their deliberately vague requirements, the stories about companies hiring someone whose personal Google account activities become toxic for the company’s Play Store account, it all just sucks.
