Of course it would be great to read books in their native language, but is it better to get a reasonable translation of a book, or no translation at all? That is the question.

If you take some authors with multiple translations over many decades, e.g. Proust or Hugo, you can see that the early translations are actually very rough, and only recently are we seeing very high quality.

The main problem is that language translation is forever imperfect. If you look at Proust's French, there is no direct translation into English for the way it is written because no English person writes in that manner, so the translator has to make a lot of hard decisions to make the book enjoyable.

My French isn't strong enough to read native Proust (god, I wish it was), but then you have things like Hugo which is 1800s French and I'm sure even modern French kids have some trouble reading it.

If you do read a translated book, PLEASE find the best translation before you purchase. I'll give you an example...

This Les Mis book has the same illustration on the front (public domain) as the musical poster, so it looks official:
https://www.amazon.com/Miserables-Signet-Classics-Victor-Hug...

But it is a miserable 100 year old translation spruced up a bit. You will probably hate the book and hate your life if you try to read it. It boasts that it is unabridged because that seems like a thing you would want, but...

This new translation by Penguin is like night and day:
https://www.amazon.com/Miserables-Penguin-Classics-Deluxe/dp...

It is somewhat "abridged" because the translator took the bold step of tearing out 50 pages of the book - that are basically just the author going on a rant and has nothing to do with the story - and translated them and stuffed them in the appendix. This was a smart move, and went above their job title to produce a much more readable work.

tl;dr: read more great foreign books; always check you are getting the best translation before you start
I'm also steeped on wine all day through since it provides stimulation burp I don't get otherwise, it's just the heat of the moment! Cheers!
Throw away individually identifiable piece of evidence instead of calling the police, ok

I wouldn't consider it particularly wise to assume the police will automatically be your friend, in this situation. Ask yourself who may have planted the device, after all.

(I don't think law enforcement would use AirTags, actually. But I'm just saying -- on general principle).

Well, Google has your email, to read and use and pass on, so I'm not quite sure what this "advanced protection" can mean.
Please substantively challenge any of the facts I laid out.

It is a literally a core theme of modernity. Opium Wars, Yellow Peril, anticommunist crusades in SEA... Chinese civilization is a historical threat to narratives of Anglo racial/cultural supremacy like nothing else.

Op said he had a problem with being sedentary. That is largely a problem of habit. If you are already in the habit of jogging or cycling regularly good for you but if you aren't you almost certainly need some kind of structure (ie: scheduled time and place someone is counting on you to be there) to get to a place where you are doing it on a regular basis and not regularly rationalizing reasons to skip a day.
I think k8s is exactly the reason we are moving back to separate ops vs dev modus operandi in many cases.

Projects like Terraform and Pulumi moved us towards a more vertically integrated development process, bringing the knowledge and tooling of SRE people right into the application repository. And when k8s turned out to be too complex for this setup we claim that the previous way of doing things was better.

I disagree, strongly. If anything, we are going to skip k8s and just use the other solutions (AWS, Azure, even on-prem with other tools than k8s) and we are going to keep our devops tools, integrated teams and the progress we made in the last decade.
For most multiplayer MC servers, this sort of exploit isn't worth the time because there are commands available to players to find nearby players and their bases (so they can check out each other's builds or participate in the local economy.)
Maybe that’s because none of these reports were actually true?

Honestly, AirTags invading on people’s privacy are the latest fad. And as with any story about the dangers of “Big Tech”, they make for good headlines. Only that nobody bothers to do some basic due diligence on the truthfulness of these reports in the first place. This one is littered with nonsensical facts that makes me not believe in this story for a second.

Which has nothing to do with the fact that there is indeed abuse potential with Apple’s AirTags.

If you haven’t heard about cdktf, check it out! It lets you do infrastructure as code but in full programming languages like Python, C# and TypeScript. It’s by hashicorp, and under the covers it runs Terraform, so you have the whole set of terraform providers at your disposal.
What exactly what the elementary mistake?

Edit: ah, answered in another comment. It was this part:

> Crick and Watson certainly didn't discover DNA as the substrate for Mendelian inheritance, that was known long before. They (in collaboration with Rosalind "don't talk to me about this woman" Franklin) discovered its 3D structure.
I don' use Ubuntu, simple as that.
> cases of mild immune response which let the virus dwell for a long time in the organism can be the proper places for a virus to develop mutations.

that's practically irrelevant or you'd have to demand lockdowns for any virus and its uncle because they all mutate all the time. is that what you want?

.NET Remoting, from 2002, was expressly designed to allow objects to be created either locally or on a different machine altogether.

I’m sure Java also had something very similar.

Monolith frameworks we’re always designed to be distributed.

The reason distributed code was not popular was because the hardware at the time did not justify it.

Further, treating hardware as cattle and not pets was not easy or possible because of the lack of a variety of technologies such as better devops tools, better and faster compilers, containerization, etc.
People of all color lost temper all the time, that normally gets improved when they age.

The "Red Guards" (i.e. culture revolution) generation from China indeed stood out as a group that acts very differently. They are always ready to _fight_ with anyone just because of different opinions, thus the aggressiveness. It's a life long disease that keeps getting worse with no cure.
Citing from the article:

"...Since 2011, 1224 cognitive assessments were collected from 672 healthy, full-term, and
neurotypically-developing children between 3 months to 3 years of age. Repeated measures were
separated by at least 1 year (mean = 384 +/- 41 days). A general overview of all child assessment timings are shown in Figure 1a. This dataset included 1070 assessments (from 605 children) prior to
March 2020; 154 assessments (from 118 children) between March 2020 and June 2021; with 39 children who were born just prior to the pandemic in 2018 and 2019, and following during the pandemic to
2021..."

The cognitive assessment tool:

40. E.M., M., Mullen Scales of Early Learning. 1995, Circle Pines, MN: American Guidance
Services, Inc.

The age of the kids 'born during pandemic' in this context is up to 18months, not clear how many in count, but total is 39 born from 2018 to 2021. Pandemic start considered March 2020.

P.S. As for the Mullen Scales, citing from [1]:

"...Motivation can affect test results; therefore it is important to enhance motivation as much as possible in young children without affecting standardized procedures of the assessment (Koegel, Koegel, & Smith, 1997).

...

When young children refuse to attempt test items it can be difficult to determine their current level of functioning..."

Kubernetes is a cancer for 99% of companies. Most companies need little more than docker compose/swarm.

Kubernetes is the antithesis to KISS. If you’re Google, then you need something like K8s. Most orgs using it are pretenders or trend followers. Sadly it has become the “standard” way to deploy apps.

Never heard of this before. Thanks, OP.
I suppose it depends on a person and situation. Significant amount of my lists end up an overfull directory of logs or traces or whatevers. Basic utilities used daily (hourly? Minutely?) need every inch of speed eeked out.
The boomers who went earlier went for a fraction of the price, had far more government assistance, then decided they didn't like paying tax and hauled the ladder up from under themselves and made their children and grandchildren take out loans. That is the "unfair" "punishment" if there is one.
I can't read Hebrew or ancient Masoretic text, so I'm kind of buggered. My illiteracy in ancient languages means that I must base my theology on translations.

That said, before the other day when you raised the question, I've always just taken Genesis 6:3 to mean that God shortened human life expectancy, and I've never looked it up in a commentary.

Anyway, thanks for alerting me to the alternative. I don't think I can explore it further at this time, as attaining the required linguistic skills is a bit "out of scope" for me at this time.
Oh well that's different...
The parent's point stands. If you print money, you get inflation. That just turns into a tax for everyone that holds cash. Inflation also raises interest rates, which is a tax on people directly (ie. the amount they pay to banks) and indirectly (the interest government borrows at).
Hmm, this is hard to answer.

I have read Jung's CW 9, 11, 12 and 16 and bits and pieces from the rest, but I think when I read The Red Book things really changed for how I see his work.

It is extremely raw material, of an alienist on the verge of madness, and yet he managed to extract the deepest reason out of the experience.

I think it is really worth reading, but in compliment with the images he drew. Maybe you can still buy the reader's edition and look at the images online, as 200$ is a lot, but if you can afford it i would recommend to get the big book.
RSS (recieve side scaling) is pretty magic, if your stack is setup for it, and it makes sense for your application. Windows may have done it best, but FreeBSD's support is OK, if you're willing to fiddle with it.

You end up with everything for a given connection happening on the same cpu, so you have a ton less inter cpu communications and lock contention. NIC interrupt/queue, TCP kernel state, userland state, etc. Of course, if you've got bottlenecks other than syscalls/networking, the improvements might not make much difference. And, there's not a lot of reported use, so their may be rough edges, such as you need to implement it in the daemons you use, and if you make outgoing connections, you've got to manually bind ports to ensure they're RSS aligned.

Also, if your setup is standardized hardware for all servers, you'll run into issues like RSS has power of two threads, but your standard server doesn't have a power of two CPUs, or your nics can do 16 RSS queues, and you've got more CPUs so they're just idle. Probably NUMA issues if you're running multi-socket systems.
Ah, CDKTF seems to be the Pulumi equivalent for Terraform. I think I remember seeing it.

We're far too invested into Terraform at this point to learn yet another tool. Oh well. Hopefully the next time I have to implement something like this, K8s ecosystem would also have similar tools (or maybe I just missed something)
I am wondering:

- Would a GPS tracker placed at this position be able to catch the GPS signal? If I understand it correctly, an airtag communicate via bluetooth and would get the location from a phone in range?

- An airtag do not require a SIM card. Are they easily traceable or is it hard to get to the owner?
My kids school, in LA, still has no in-person events, no parents on campus, kids must stay 3 feet from each other, masks indoors and outdoors, weekly covid testing, regular class room shut downs for exposure after which there is zoom schooling and daily testing, no wind instruments, no field trips, no food sharing, all parent teacher meetings over zoom, etc etc etc. It's as bad a lockdown as at the peak.
> After all republic is quite meaningless term, specially when we consider some constitutional monarchies or dictatorial leaders that don't have hereditary power

It's a fuzzy term. As usual, not everything falls nicely in neat little boxes.

In constitutional monarchies, the monarch is still associated with "the crown" and is personally an integral part of the State, and it is almost always hereditary. Sweden and the UK are unarguably monarchies with some democratic legitimacy. I was going to write "always", but actually I'd be curious to know if there is an example of non-hereditary constitutional monarchy nowadays.

I would think that non-hereditary dictatorships tend to be republics, even if the parliament plays a purely nominal role (Azerbaijan, Russia, several African republics, etc), or just military dictatorship, doing away with any pretence and not bothering with a parliament and rigged elections (lots of them have been around; these days Myanmar is a good example). North Korea is also interesting, being a hereditary republican dictatorship.

I took a ceramics class and no one could tell be what the glaze was made of and if it was non toxic. I was making some fun bowls and mugs. You just reminded me, are the store bought glaze mixes toxic? Please share how your wife finds or makes non toxic glaze.

Also does firing ceramics in a kiln release even more toxic chemicals in the finished ceramic?? I’ve always suspected this was inherently creating some toxic byproduct from the intense heat.

Thanks!
Oh, so this software is for the case when your 'USB switch' can be connected to multiple PCs but lacks video input interfaces so you normally have to switch active video input on the monitor yourself, but since your monitor supports DDC/CI you could run the program to automatically send DDC/CI command when needed to the monitor to tell it to switch the active input to the one that is connected to the PC you told your 'USB switch' to make active?

Now I got it, thanks!

AirTags seem to work reliably.

Everything else? I had my iPad in the backpack I was wearing get left behind. Same with my AirPods. I’ve turned those things off and just put an AirTag in my backpack.

That said, I already had two extra air tags since I got a four-pack instead of buying two separately.
Could be.

I also heard SA has a much younger population than most western countries, so "mild" should be used with caution.
Check out „Black Oceans” by Jacek Dukaj if you’re interested in sci-fi that explores this idea.

This. I think that today the barrier to entry is low enough that, especially in small companies, developers with little knowledge of the space can get a basic CI system or production deployment going. And, the company is more than happy to let them instead of hiring somebody specializing in the area. This seems to really blow up if it goes unaddressed as the team/product grows.

I've watched at least one company burn time on the same issues for years because instead of acknowledging the need for and empowering people with distinct skillsets or knowledge, they're content to let developers bumble through the process of learning and reinventing the wheel over and over in the margins. That's if they can even get the developers on growing and siloed teams to communicate with one another at all. There needs to be experienced leadership somewhere.

Developers should have more responsibility over their apps and what they're putting in to production. But, it's unfair an inefficient to expect all but a few will ever even have time to become skilled practitioners in these areas. Especially while already keeping up with their normal duties. Now not just tech debit, but foundational infrastructure can be pushed aside by the drive for new/more features.

For the foreseeable future it seems like the trend of tasking devs with so much of this work will result in engineering teams continuously, wastefully toiling over fractured infrastructure built by novices. (Maybe someday the tools will actually allow for developers to take this one with limited knowledge/resources, though.)
The PC of that era was such an unpredictable mess of components, you couldn't even assume a specific sound card was present. VGA 256-color modes didn't even have square pixels unless you went Mode-X which was rather annoying to program for.

I think there are far better retro hardware choices to relive writing native programs for. Stuff you'll actually be able to ensure will run successfully with full graphics and sound capabilities on every instance of the thing. C64, Amiga, etc. There's a reason the x86 PC severely lagged behind in the demoscene for ages, it was just miserable hardware to support.
> but you can take a <10 hour online course and be able to "helm install" your application.

Genuinely I believe that good QuickStarts are the cause of so many expert beginners.

What I mean is: there is a person on an adjacent team who truly believes he is very competent in nearly all technologies. He is able to deploy a k3s cluster no problem.

He is absolutely unable to debug that cluster, or use it in a way which is reliable (local persistent volumes means you are dependent on the node never going away), he is unable to troubleshoot networking issues that have occurred in that cluster and he has struggled many times to admit that it is unable.

But heck. He can helm install no problem!
Hiding your face does not eliminate covid. Stop hiding your face because you're scared
I’m not defending their study and I feel like you are trying to argue “sides” rather than trying to understand my point about nuance.
Oh well. Then all of these companies will have to start adjusting to the work-force available. Outside of careers like doctor/lawyer, you can do most jobs without a college degree, but currently you can’t get hired without one in many, many cases.

If very few have a degree, companies will adjust and people will end up in similar careers without the massive time/money investment of college.
Ah, the sentient something communicating a "kill me" message. That reminds me of a scene from a movie, but I can't remember which one it was.
Not seen much point in rust for embedded for small MCU's that I target.

All memory are statically "allocated" as global variables/buffers and never free'd, so there's no ownership or dangling references to worry about ever.
This allows me to know at link time how much memory my program uses.m and of course simplify programming.

Only single cores, the only synchronization issue is between interrupts and main program, a case rust doesn't handle afaik(?) and in 99% of the cases a ring buffer or simple flag variable is enough.

Never use much abstractions, so C is fine in terms of ergonomics.
Never use third party libraries aside from CMSIS register headers.

Probably the only thing that would help me is some static reflection and compile time programming, but I have python scripts as a code generation step to generate tables, definitions, annotations, etc, and that works fine.
Normal human interaction
You are on the right track. I have exactly the same story, data engineer, working on automation a lot.

YAML, JSON and HCL should be purged from IaC asap. Luckily Dhall can be integrated everywhere we need YAML otherwise we would go nuts. The bigges failure of k8s is to understand that YAML does not scale to teams and beyond 100 lines, especially not good to nest it (hello ArgoCD).

A type safe not accidentally Turing complete configuration language or for that matter any langue (hello Pulumi) is much better than YAML ever will be.

Anyways, if I can give you an advise, drop k8s like its hot. I is much more trouble than worth. We have phased it out everywhere we could. The companies still using it are in 1 year long implementation cycles with it with 10+ consultants. It is going very well. For consultants, obviously.

Global Warming by 2-3 degress doesn't imply human extinction (or even the leading cause of deaths).

That is an incredible lazy, naive and dumb take on effects of Climate Change. Human ingenuity and technology and accumulated capital of nearly $200 Trillion can easily scale mitigating solutions when it really comes to it.

Unfortunately, Policy makers never take into account the dynamic, complex systems and use linear graphs done by low-paid interns to predict economic and human systems.
