Denmark is pretty bad with respect to renewables. They have increased their oil consumption in the past years, they have increased the so called "other renewables" which is in fact, burning wastes because they recycle nothing. They are running at 70% on non renewables.

So, Denmark is definitely not the Nordic country you want to use as reference[0]. Sweden is a completely different story[1].

Gentoo is quite niche nowadays, I don't think it's getting many new users, I see it mentioned by old time users, rather than people that have just switched to it.

In fact, in 21 years of using Linux I've never played with Gentoo. I should remedy that.
I did a fair amount of technical analysis trying to learn day trading a few years ago. I've also bought and sold stocks based on fundamentals, trends or hunches. I lost money and I made money. The best returns I had were from buying stocks in 2008/2009 during the crash (duh) and holding.

My approach now for long term investing is to auto invest monthly into 5-6 index funds w low fees, aka Bogelheads. Simple, low stress. Dollar cost average on auto-pilot.

Also, set aside a nice chunk of cash to invest during the next crash.

But programming language itself is a tool. And, you need one tool to improve the other, that imply your tool (programming language) is not good enough.

IMO, the only reason why java is still in use - superb IDE and tooling, that compensate terrible language design.

In practice, when you use a modulo operator the second operand is usually some kind of length or size, which is inherently non-negative, while the first operand is an index or offset, which could easily be negative if there's no natural origin point. So it's much rarer that you have to deal with a potentially negative second operand, compared to having to deal with a potentially negative first operand.

Usually software architecture is not language-dependant, so your knowledge from Java could be used here. For example, you can do hexagonal architecture in NodeJS. All of what you learned about exceptions can also be applied here. Probably most of what you learned about static typing too, if you work with TypeScript.

I think another part of learning JavaScript is forgetting what you learned in other languages and embracing JavaScript. At work most of the JS/TS code is namespaces and plain functions, with the occasional object when that makes sense. We don't use much the dynamic nature of the language in application code, but for testing we use it a lot.

For the performance part, I agree, it's hard to find resources. Part of it is because JS is "good enough" for most server-side software: the language is fast and asynchronous IO helps a lot. Most high-level advice is about being nice to the JIT: write code as if it was statically typed, let the JIT make easy assumptions and don't break them (objects that don't change, arrays used as arrays). Part of it may also be because the V8 team is constantly hard at work to improve performance. Their blog (https://v8.dev/) is a great read, I learned a lot here. There's another high-level advice that works everywhere: try to make a stateless app, so that scaling horizontally is easy.
Anecdotally, the only time I've seen a truly anonymized database was in a european genetics research company, due mainly to the rightly high amount of regulation required in the medical field.

There was a whole separate legal entity, with its own board, that did the phenotype measurement gathering and stored the data in a big database on premise. The link between those measurements and the individual's personal identifiable record was then stored in a separate airgapped database which had cryptographic locks implemented (on the data and physical access to the server) so accessing the data took the physical presence of the privacy officers of each of the two companies (the measurement lab and the research lab) and finally what I found at the time to be the unique move; a representative from the state run privacy watchdog.

To be able to backtrack the data to a person, there was always going to be a need to go through the watchdog. Required, not just legally mandated.

All of the measurement data that was stored in the database came from very restricted input fields in the custom software that was made on prem (no long form text input fields for instance, where identifying data could be put in accidentally), and there was a lot of thought put into the design of the UI to limit the possibility that anyone could put identifiable data into the record.

For instance numerical ranges for a specific phenotype where all prefilled in a dropdown, so as to keep user key input to a minimum. Much of the data also came from direct connections to the medical equipment (I wrote a serial connector for a Humphrey medical eye scanner that parsed the results straight into the software, skipping the human element all together).

This didn't make for the nicest looking software (endless dropdowns or scales), but it fulfilled its goal of functionality and privacy concerns perfectly.

The measurement data would then go through many automatic filters and further anonymizing processes before being delivered through a dedicated network pipeline (configured through the local isp to be unidirectional) to the research lab.

Is this guaranteed to never leak any private information? No, nothing is 100%. This comes damn near close to it, but ofcourse would not work in most other normal business situations.

It's indirectly funded. The state passes a law granting a monopoly, and the copyright holder can sue for a breach. However this relies on the state providing courts, police, jails etc. (for people who breach court orders).

"However, I hope that the underlying effect will improve and lead to an overall price reduction."

This will never happen under the Greens, and probably not under any other government coalition either.

Prices that governments charge do not go down. They don't unwind projects, they create them.

That is the underlying systematic force that people should understand: while ostensibly their job is to provide services, the pragmatic reality is, everyone in that systems wants more money, more power, and they have innumerable interesting ideas for how to spend more money, hire more people. Without the sobering reality of competition to establish true cost of capital, then it's just very easy to assume 'spending/investment creates' value - and the system grows.

There is a simple reality to your spike in Energy prices, which is total mismanagement of energy policy.

You are literally 'paying the price'. That is the 'cost' of whatever it is the objectives really are.

This is all correct, and I really appreciate you taking the time to say it. Except that a megawatt is more like a small town than a mid-sized city. A mid-sized city is closer to a gigawatt.
You are criticizing a weird strawman here. eSIMs already work on iPhones, it would be difficult for Apple to walk back on that.

Removing the SIM slot isn’t a step into that direction, removing standards compliant eSIM support would be.

Or maybe your comment isn’t meant as a criticism at all, I think that actually sounds pretty awesome. As long as we retain the ability to load our own eSIMs.

Alexa isn't a toy, and if follow up stories are accurate the device wasn't even running with a child profile, it wasn't acting as an agent of a child, it was responding to a query, one not understood to even being originated from a minor.

Additionally, from Alexa's term of use, it clearly states they do not guarantee the content

>4.2 Functionality; Content. We do not guarantee that Alexa or its functionality or content (including traffic, health, or stock information) is accurate, reliable, always available, or complete. You may encounter content through Alexa that you find offensive, indecent, or objectionable. Amazon has no responsibility or liability for such content

So without even readying the terms or proper usage of the device, many seem to be making broad assumptions, and literally just making up the obligations, actions, and legal ramifications.

I'm not a fan of Amazon, and frankly would never have alexa in my home because of their terms of use and conditions. But I find myself defending their position because of the outlandish statements.

> That's how boring research gets prioritized.

Yes, I realized I was part of the problem, but couldn't help it (except by leaving). If it was only a bunch of PhD students and postdocs wasting their time, the boring research wouldn't be such a problem. It becomes a problem, however, when everyone is doing it and the actual good publications get drowned in noise.
I think the even crazier thing is Windows having a function to allocate memory in another process (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/memoryapi...). That seems like a potential source for all kinds of impossible to track bugs.

That many people who claim to be suffering from some mental illnesses claim that for personal gain, e.g. to excuse their bad behaviour, or to gain acceptance in their inner group, or to pose as a vulnerable minority. This is an hard problem, because no psychiatrist will tell you that you're not really depressed or slightly autistic if you tell them the right symptoms.
> But (somewhat concerningly) the Arch wiki seems to be as strong as ever relative to other sources, so I'm not sure how that balances out.

This is a very troubling observation. I think that the open-source world would lose a truly great source of information should the Arch Wiki go away, and there is an clear problem with quality all across the Linux desktop space at the moment.
Everyone can be temporarily in such situation, but most of the world doesn't care.
I feel like Arch used to be simpler to install, right? Not that it was done for you or anything, but I recall being really impressed back when with how straightforward it was using the wiki.

I moved from Arch to Gentoo and then back again, and strangely Arch seems harder for it. Not just the install, but including it. My impression is that the wiki is noticeably less useful now, though of course it's still extremely useful. But it increasingly reminds me of digging for hints on Gentoo, when I recall it feeling like the authors were almost prescient at times.

Though I suppose I feel similarly about internet search in general, so maybe I should be a little slower in blaming the wiki...
From programming perspective, there's nothing sufficiently preposterous in the idea of dividing by zero that would require bringing the whole world to a low-level halt just for attempting that by default. You tried to calculate the average value of what turned out to be an empty list? Go suffer the most severe exception, like the ones reserved for those reading from nonexistant memory.

How is nuclear a short term answer?

It takes 20 years to build a nuclear plant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olkiluoto_Nuclear_Power_Plant).

I think the idea is that if we instead build alternatives we will not want those plants in 20 years.
The thing is, I think there are people in academia who are not just bullshitting. Occasionally real scientific advances do happen. It's just that if I don't personally have a breakthrough in sight, I'm supposed to just produce garbage and pretend that I'm doing a good job while trying to do the actual good research on my free time or something.
Remember that 33 bits of entropy are enough to identify everyone. It may not be legally so, but any data with 33 bits of entropy is technically PII, and you should treat it as such.

Involuntary admission works the same way in the US.

I have kinda the same problem. I've had depression for a very long time - stable, but consistently declining. I get the "... or I could just kill myself" xapata mentioned a couple times per week and the reasons I don't are basically "that sounds like work" and "that would make my mother sad". Which aren't exactly good reasons, I know, but so far I've done very little actual self-harm and I very much don't want to get involuntarily admitted. I really would like to get help to deal with depression. I've battled it out alone with it for 15+ years and I'm not exactly winning that fight. But- anyone that's qualified to offer that help is pretty much legally required to admit me if I answer their screening questions somewhat truthfully.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Either they:

Aside from your indictment of there being a lot of hyperbole in Climate Change - almost everything else I believe is incorrect.

It's definitely a serious issue, that we can and must address.

" There's nothing whatsoever we can do to materially modify the CO2 curve within any reasonable human time scale."

France went 80% Nuclear in the space of 10 years.

Ergo - every leading nation could do that within 10 years, if they chose to, in fact, they could do much more.

Imagine what we could do in 30 years, including using some of that power to drain the atmosphere of Co2?

If we put a fraction of the effort expent on WW2 into tackling climate change, esp. with some form of Nuclear - we could do it.
Thinking with Types – Type-Level Programming in Haskell (2019)
> can we finally stop using MD5

While this is no reason not to use something else, I would also use newer & safer hash functions by default, MD5 is still perfectly fine for protecting against accidental corruption in storage or transit. Just don't use it if your protection model needs to consider deliberate changes.

If you want to be extra paranoid, IIRC SHA256 outputs the full state so some types of length extension attack are still possible (though massively less _practical_ than against MD5) so perhaps use SHA384 or SHA224 (which are essentially truncated SHA512/SHA256 respectively), or SHA3 (none of its variants have the whole-state property), as your default choice.
It does seem like an expensive way to get monetization.

I'm sure he put in an insurance claim . . .

Consider typical Medium blog post.

If by chance you block certain actions, you'll see it spin ridiculous amount of CPU, trying to sent tracking data all the time over graphql.

Some tracking systems injected (often without developer involvement, using so-called tag managers) will send your mouse position and clicks.

Through tag managers, you can easily end up loading 50 different scripts, often compiled with attendant framework code, usually in chains of tag manager loading tag manager (classic example - using Google Tag Manager to load Facebook manager and Google Ads, which then issue multiple calls to load JavaScript ads and trackers, which might involve further script loads).

And the tag managers are often managed by marketing in complete separation from any development or QA, so what was reasonably good website loading fast even under limited network conditions, suddenly turns into huge freeze-fest as 3 autoplaying videos get preloaded, 2MB JS/CSS animated overlay ad loads in, 3 ad boxes are filled in dynamically , and don't forget 15 trackers, 4 of them from ad services, 8 of them added by marketing team with possible duplicates, and 3 of them part of malware loaded by the ads.
Of course, but I pride myself in able to create custom code and not just rely on some built-in stuff.

I've heard that we've basically dug up all the easily accessible ores needed to jump-start a civilization, and all that's left now is something you need high-tech to access.

So, there may not be another chance at an advanced civilization on this planet at all.

There's geological timescales of course. But then, I don't think that helps given that we've dug everything up to the surface to oxidize.
