Brick houses in central and eastern Europe are usually build with clay block bricks like Porotherm with λ = 0,1 - 0,133 W/mK.
There are also some with 0,082 W/mK but usual combination is brick+insulation (i.e.: to have wall with U value less then 0,22 W/(m²⋅K) you can use brick with thickness of 38cm and 10cm insulation. For 20cm concrete wall you would have to use 30cm insulation.)
That's not a great reason to use strings to identify classes though...

Why not just give `Impls` a special attribute:

class ExampleImpl(Foo, metaclass=Impl):
target = Bar

Or do the entire thing via a decorator:

@impl_for(Bar)
class ExampleImpl(Foo):
pass

I don't think getting a license is hard, but the fees keep going up.

Hell even a fishing license is $56.00, and that has many restrictions.

I'm one of those liberal guys who has never hunted, and only use barbless hooks when I did fish. (I stopped fishing after I caught a Batray in the bay. It cried like a baby on the pier. I really played with my head. I put him back of course.)

My point is I don't like high fees--for anything. I knew a jail guard years ago, and he said there are people in jail over not buying a license. (Starts with license, and no show, blah, blah, blah, prison. This was in Mississouri.)

My point is I don't like these high fees we are being charged.

If human lives are valuable, then I suppose the same also applies to my own life. If a hostile stranger appeared at night in my house, I would take his life to protect mine. Yes, the entire situation is regretful, but it was his choice to make it happen, not mine.

I wouldn't kill a person over stealing a candy from me, or trespassing on my lawn.
In the case of the article, we’re not just asking about blanket “property theft”. I don’t think any of the proponents are say shoot someone who’s stealing a loaf of bread.

In many parts of the world, a car used to get to work. If you can’t get to work, then you can’t make money, and if you can’t make money then you can’t eat.

Does everyone who gets their catalytic converter stolen have enough money to get it fixed? If not, then this crime might be tantamount to depriving someone of their whole car

> The viral load declined more rapidly for those who were fully vaccinated than those who were unvaccinated. However, investigators noted that vaccinated individuals did not have a lower peak viral load than those who were vaccinated.

Tldr: there's probably a window where vaccinated people can transmit the virus as effectively as unvaccinated people, but that window is almost certainly shorter.

While that's probably not helpful in household settings, it's still plenty useful in cutting disease spread during short terms in confined spaces.
These are seriously retarded people.

But then that's environmentalism either evil people or stupid people or I guess both. It's the stupid people who cause the destruction and death of the environment and humans on the mass scale. I guess that makes them evil.

As Elon Musk points out the problem with planting trees is their upkeep. They need water to begin with for instance.

It's a solvable problem.

But it's not the bullshit cliche of putting magical solar power everywhere.

Why fix the fact humans have turned forests into tinderboxes when we can blame climate change.

And if lol people in the future are cutting down forests, then there's no fucking point worrying about climate change.
What alternative language do you propose? Not that asking for a source is unreasonable, but you seem to doubt that PHP has majority market share. Do you suppose that Node is more popular? Rails? Go? Flask?
I have been recently picturing a dystopia (utopia?) wherein women sell their eggs to some kind of govt. agency which in turn hires women who are willing to carry babies to term.

These babies are then raised in child group homes by state employees all the way from infancy. Meanwhile the state pays for their education until they either graduate or until some kind of arbitrary deadline.

Thus the problem could become cost effective due to economies of scale thereby partially mitigating the cost problem.

However, it is still unclear whether to then make childbirth opt-in or something along those lines.

If we are going to farm kids, then why not do it properly?

IIRC, the tagline for some of his advertising was "The Electronic Dick". Different times.
Possibly the difference between "I (metaphorical "I") don't think I will encounter it." vs. "Oh ...., I have contracted a case of it from somewhere."?

Many often change their attitude when things go from "an unknown risk of possible future encounter" to "certain to have contracted".

Generalizing about "America" usually doesn't work. It's a huge country, both in terms of land area (about the size of Europe) and population (about half of Europe). Politically, it's much closer to Europe in terms of heterogeneity than most people assume.

It's like a spectrum: on the one hand we have countries like Singapore, where all the laws and the people they apply to are the same pretty much anywhere you go, and on the other hand we have loose multi-national confederations like the E.U. where laws change significantly, but there are some generalities.

A U.S. state is much more like a country in the E.U. than the U.S. is like a country in the E.U. Further, there are huge differences in the makeup of populations in different parts of the United States, in terms of economic stratification, ethnicity, race, education, and most importantly local culture.

> I believe that GNU find is slow because it is specifically written to allow arbitrary filesystem depth as opposed to "open file descriptor limit-limited depth".

I haven't benchmarked find specifically, but I believe the most common Rust library for the purpose, walkdir[1], also allows arbitrary file system recursion depth, and is extremely fast. It was fairly close to some "naive" limited depth code I wrote in C for the same purpose. A lot of go-to C approaches seem to needlessly call stat on every file, so they're even slower.

I'd be curious to see benchmarks of whether this actually makes a difference.

Fun, Funky, Functional: The Pursuit of Better User Interfaces for Programming
How did you solve the problem?
If we remove Russia (that is huge and a special case), Spain is the European country with a highest wolf population. We have much more wolves than countries like Norway or Sweden. The Spanish government pays around 1.5 million euro each year to farmers for covering damages

With sexy results. Lets see some curious discoveries in the biology of Spanish wolves:

1) Wolves start eating its preys by the most delicious part of the cattle: the livestock ear tag. A plastic piece that grants that the animal has been legally breed and registered, (and is often missing in the corpses). Having in mind that tag remains don't appear in the wolf scats, It seems that wolves love to collect them for the cubs.

2) Some cows were killed by wolves three times in three different places. The cow remains teleport mysteriously each time to another location.

3) Some farmers act as black holes for cattle. There is a strong suspicion that their entire business model consist into buying cheap foals and decrepit old goats in another province, let them alone and unprotected in the national park and wait for the corpse to be found. Some of this professionals of producing meat haven't sold a single animal or put a single sausage in the market... in decades.

4) It is suspected that scabies killing the endangered Pyrenean Chamois in the national park was introduced with those diseased goats.

5) Statistics about cattle dying by natural causes drop when government start paying wolf damages. Suddenly there is not more cows dying after giving birth, or from old age, or falling from a cliff. Is a well known secret that when you have an animal that needs an expensive veterinary procedure, borrowing a mastiff from a friend will fix the problem... and then you cry wolf, of course.

6) After introducing saliva analysis in Pyrenees looking for wolf DNA in the attacked cattle, the number of wolf attacks dropped from 100 to 7 in the next year. The analysis found that shepherd dogs owned by farmers were the real culprits in practically all attacks. Shepherd dogs had being videotaped feasting on cows and sheep. They respect its own herd, but will attack other herds. Everybody knows this.

7) Some farmers manage somehow to lost 600 sheep year after year without a trace, by the attack of magical wolves driving a van. We pay them up to 24.000 euro/year with tax money so they can be happy again. But they aren't, and ask for more.

And well, "You know how flammable is the forest, do you?, Everything could start burning some of those days if you don't allow us to put cattle here..."

Unfortuately, "low Earth orbit" is a broad term. The article gives a range from 99 miles (about 160 km) to 1200 miles (about 2000 km). Orbits at the low end of that range will encounter significant atmospheric drag and will indead tend to clean themselves up over time (as another poster has pointed out upthread). But orbits at the higher end of that range will not. That's the problem.
My the law prescribes what punishments are correct for property damage. Its not something that will give them a firing squad when convicted, so you shouldn't be acting as a firing squad yourself

I think you're confusing rights with something else here. I'm specifically talking about natural rights, and I don't know if you're trying to steer the dialog into "what is a right" or just have a wrong idea, but I am not interested in philosophy or deconstruction of well established concepts

TypeScript's types are structural, and I don't consider this to be a good thing. It's useful for JavaScript interop, yes, but just because two values have the same representation and method names does not mean they're interchangeable. Case in point: time units.

So while there may be some use of structural subtyping, I don't think it's codebase-wide.

In a state of emergency (which British Columbia has announced) generally it's considered that a refund/cancellation is legally sufficient to make the customer whole, and any extra costs e.g. penalties / costs of delays / locking in of prices are just going to be ignored; it's considered acceptable to just break contracts which can't be exactly executed because of a state of emergency. In ordinary circumstances what you say would apply, but an official state of emergency does change things.
I'm ignorant of the problem, but since it was compared to "rings of trash" (you know, like Saturn, but trashier) might it eventually solve itself? I expect the debris would pulverize itself and all sort of fall in lock-step until it was just so much dust we had to pass through?

Perhaps that would take thousands of years....
> Free market solutions to cleaning up commons often come too late and are imperfect.

In this case, the commons, if Kessler's predictions are correct, will become unusable much more quickly than has been the case with other commons in the past. That creates a much stronger free market incentive to clean the commons up.

Indeed, with such a 'post and beam' construction, a wooden house can last for 400 years (at least, where I live the oldest houses are around the age).

That said, in 1669, Amsterdam no longer allowed outside walls made of wood due to the fire spreading risk. Though that means that the construction would still be 'post and beam', but the outside walls would be make of bricks.

AM4 _and_ prior. Motherboard quality has varied considerably across different manufacturers compared to Intel’s partners. One other example of recent annoyances is the launch situation with B450 and X570 and now with B550 and X570S existing years later basically. Gigabyte’s one manufacturer that has been swapping out parts to lower spec and they don’t get away with it in Intel’s partner network but somehow AMD isn’t penalizing Gigabyte at least publicly to keep this from happening.
Controversial take: as an insider, you are in a strong position to determine the value of the options. Is your company under- or overvalued? Is your product better or worse than people think? Is the company culture and morale greater or lesser than average? Are you excited to get up in the morning or do you dread each moment of work? Do you care about the content of your work, the field that your in, solving your customers problems, or are you interested only in your own engineering problems? Are business decisions made primarily by ego, the boss's gut, office politics, or do good data and clear explanations win arguments regardless of who makes them?

Startups are high risk, especially if you have all your eggs in 1 basket. Whether it's reasonable to take the risk depends on data points that only you can ascertain.

The hard part is being honest with yourself. If you've invested 4 years into this job, you surely have emotional attachments to it that transcend economics. Feelings of loyalty are good and normal. One key question to ask is how much loyalty do the founders feel to you? Would it be hard for them to replace you? Do they treat you with respect and camaraderie or like a machine that produces algorithms? Are they competent, inspiring people that you learn from, or "idea guys" who are good at pitching but not much else? If you were the CEO, would you hire them?

Just a few of the questions I would ask myself in your shoes.

The virus is endemic so we're already in the certain scenario. That's why I don't understand the logic of people that refuse vaccination. You can either take 40 pills for 5 days or you can get vaccinated and avoid the hassle entirely. Deferring the decision just guarantees you will take the 40 pills, there is no way to avoid contracting the virus anymore.
This seems costly in learning / addressing new situations.

Mental models can help avoid a lot of pain or give you options to approach new situations that you might not otherwise consider without trial and error.

Sometimes watching a YouTube video makes a lot more sense than acquiring proper integrated intuition through experience. I don’t want my surgeon to perform my routine procedure using mental models. If things go wrong, I absolutely want her to apply mental models as she troubleshoots the issue.

I've rarely seen directly working on tech debt actually pay off. You either get stuck fixing last year's problem, or you lose the race to feature parity with where you were.

To that end, keep cleaning as you go. And accept that good development can be like a good batter. Probabilistically good. Not certain.
Not the idea, but the act, if I'm going to be pedantic. If the law would've been on my side and I would've seen my car broken into with someone in there, I would not hesitate to use lethal force at that point.
Dick Smith Electronics was a huge part of my childhood. The "Fun Way" electronics books (written by Dick himself) was fascinating to me and the VZ-300 computer they sold was how I got into computers as a kid. It was great to discover as an adult that Dick himself was also such an amazing character.
I'm talking about what happened in the 80s
It’s not quite enough for me, but I would not judge others if they drew the line there certainly.

Also keep in mind that while it’s happening, you have no idea how far this individual intends to go. Were they just intending minor theft? Or maybe they broke into your car because they were trying to get to you? If they announce their intentions, do you even believe them?

Of course it’s easy to make the decision in the middle of the day with perfect information. Now picture waking up at 2am to sounds in your drive way and there’s 2 or 3 guys out there fucking with your car.
Something about Odin I like is that you can have multiple allocators, and use a bump allocator for just a specific call (and its subcalls), and afterward free it all at once, and go back to normal heap allocation. It would be cool if Rust offered a built-in way to do that too.

In 34 years in the US I have never met someone who has mentioned that they personally lost possessions in a house fire. Are you working in a field that causes you to interact with people who had their house burn down or something?
Very neat article. Since I got into and out of Haskell a while back, one of the complaints I always had about breaking into the space was that it was too abstract. Some of the core concepts of FP seemed really arbitrary when described without useful examples. So it's nice that the author has found a great analogy in Factorio.

However, I have to say that I don't think the author succeeded in showing me "that real engineering is functional." During my tour of FP, I would always eventually run into a wall of abstraction as soon as things got more than a little bit complicated. In that sense, Factorio comes across as a bit of a contrived example. As soon as you have an algorithm that lends itself to a few pieces of mutable state in a loop with complex terminating conditions, good luck. Yes, it's theoretically possible to shoehorn things like that into the formalities of FP. However, doing so usually ends up feeling like an academic exercise more than anything else. It doesn't feel like it moves you any closer to your ultimate goals; to implement functionality more quickly, cleanly, and intelligibly.

That being said, I don't regret getting into FP for a while. It's always a useful challenge to re-frame what you think you know with a different set of concepts. FP also works really well for certain kinds of problems. But I think the number of those are relatively few. This may be reaching, but I like to believe there's some historical precedent for this. After all, none other than Kurt Gödel himself eventually abandoned the λ-calculus in favor of Turing's mechanical (imperative) framing of computation. I want to believe there was some similar sentiment behind this decision. But who knows? It was probably more of a technical thing than I realize. But I've always felt on some level that an overabundance of abstraction necessarily means a lack of power.
Outrageously off-topic... but I bet if SpaceX put a camera under the satellite, customers would love getting real-time imagery of their house from the exact satellite listening to their Dishy McD.

I gather you need a license to collect satellite imagery, which is weird. Or to broadcast it, or something. (But what if it is narrowcast, instead?) SpaceX could totally afford such a license.

Speaking of broadcast, the Starlink terminals could be equipped to pick up and cache packets broadcast from a satellite, with a proxy server inside that can deliver cached content. That way, the satellite only needs to send one copy of its Earth View, or the running World Cup, or the new Marvel release, and everybody in the reception cone gets it from the one broadcast, saving bandwidth and system load all around.

(Of course, something in the customer's player would need to know to use the proxy server to get video frames. But that is just software, therefore easy. Ish.)

Interesting! Thanks for the pointer on that. This is a work-issued computer, so I'm not sure I officially even have BIOS/boot access on it, however the Dell Update utility is telling me that I have a 1.21 BIOS update waiting in the wings, so perhaps I'll install that and see what happens. It would be hard to picture it getting any worse, though I suppose the people updating to 1.3 thought that too.
