I built another version of this about 30ish years ago, you can see it now at www.deathclock.com. I sold the site about 15 years ago (helped pay for an adoption). It was my first "successful" website, getting near 5 million views per day. It was also a useful programming exercise (learned the painful way that one ColdFusion function wouldn't support large numbers and others would, so had to do so wrangling to get the final number right).

The best part was the emails I'd get. Wow.
I don't follow the Paris-Dakar rally very closely, but the one thing I do know about it is that you stay the course or you risk running into landmines.

This is notable because the explosion happened on the way from the hotel to the race course. I was confused until I read it happened on the way TO the race.
Mine said 61% and to me it seems like a crazy amount. It’s hard to imagine doing all the living I’ve already done all over again and then some.

I think about 10 years ago I felt like I had already gotten plenty enough out of life not to feel short changed. Still love living, don’t get me wrong.
No comment about the rest but for the last part, I specifically meant people who rent an expensive car and try to flaunt their "wealth" and act cocky without actually being wealth. Aside from the professional grifters ("i afforded this Ferrari by following the storage in my telegram group!!!"), there are also special types of people who try to do this as a means on itself. Rich cocky people are flaunting their wealth are also assholes but would be less affected by this.
Is there any documentation on the bytecode? I would be interested to see their design choices.
If methanol is generated from electrolysis, then ok.

If it's from "biofuel", then more deforestation in tropical countries to use land to make methanol from crops. I recall news like this back 5-10 years ago.

Scala is one of the only languages that I've missed after using Python for the past few years. (When I look for jobs, I mostly look for Python and Scala jobs rather than other languages I've worked in.)

Other comments point out that you should try to dig deeper into python. That's fair. But if you've only worked in a couple languages, learning a new language will give you more perspective on the languages you already know.

Learning any other language will probably be helpful, but Scala is an easy recommendation to make. It'll force you to learn new things, and it's a pleasant language to work in once you get used to it.

What effect have you observed on your resting heart rate from alcohol?
I do something similar. If I'm being lazy or procrastinating I ask myself to rate on a scale of ten how much I don't want to do said thing, then I ask myself why it's not a 10/10, those reasons push me to start.

Example - how badly do you not want to run today (6/10). Why not 10/10? Because I'll feel better after, because it's part of my marathon training and because dinner will feel more rewarding. Ok, go run.

Yup, the faster we can get away from oil as a primary energy source, the better things will get in many areas.

(& no, I'm not really concerned about people, companies, and countries who have been making their living off fossil fuels for the last century+; they've received already great benefit and they can find other sources of sustainence, preferably sustainable sources.)
You know, likely am wrong here. I think murmur is good because it had a good distribution and is much faster than SHA? I did find someone that compared murmur to other non crypt hashes here: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/145633. I'd love to see this compared with sha1.

And an anecdote:

A bit over twenty years ago I was a young CS student who had volunteered to maintain our "commented directory of lectures" (kommentiertes Vorlesungsverzeichnis) with two other students.

A directory where all the lectures, seminars etc. were listed, with a short abstract what would be covered. This was student-led, but basically everyone used it over the "official" directory, and we got computer resources and some small payment for doing so.

When we took over we inherited a convoluted system of Perl(?) scripts and some database.

We were mailing professors for information about their courses, mailing reminders, and so on. This was all semi-automated. Oh boy!

Professors were really helpful, fast to reply, with high-quality abstracts of their lectures. Except one.

We had decided to include other departments' lectures that were cross-listed in our department, so it was a professor we had never met.

Silence. Absolute silence, we never got a reply.

Until after maybe three mails and a few weeks his secretary sent us a nasty mail: how dare we insult this professor, an absolute authority in his field, with such an inadequate style of address?

We were perplexed. Our mails used the official address "Sehr geehrter Herr Professor X".

(It sounds weird in English, if you translate it literally it's "Most revered Mister Professor X".)

We looked up the mails we had sent them. And were aghast. The mails to this professor (and thankfully only this one) started with "Sehr geehrter X" (double space). Check your database entries for NULL, dummy!

Yes, our mail was unprofessional. We should have handled the database part better.

But this professor was really out of line. Who thinks such an address would be anything else but a mistake and take it so personal as to sick his secretary on us in such a way? "Our" professors would have simply ignored that faux-pas, a few of them would have had a very entertaining riposte, I'm sure, but certainly no bad blood.

How did it end?

We apologized profusely. Never got an reply to that, either. So we simply dropped the lecture from the directory and it wasn't included. We made sure he would never get another mail from us. Nobody ever complained.

Oh, I'm as skeptical as anyone--at least outside of certain defined conditions like interstates in good weather. But I don't see how manufacturers can't own liability (or something like the vaccine pool). If you sell me a car that's billed/approved as fully autonomous (fully, not in the Tesla FSD sense), it sure as hell isn't on me if it kills someone.

Making a lof of money and managing money are often different skills (build vs. extract value from a dynamic). Making enough to pay for your grandkids' univeristy tuition is probably the best goal, as it keeps the lifestyle kids become accustomed to and the hedonic treadmill slower.

Managing money means being responsible for more than you can take from it. Growing up with people who had a trustee deposit income into their accounts on a regular basis, I learned that their understanding of money was the same as someone getting welfare from the government. It arrives independent of their control or influence, and they adapt their lifestyle and ambitions to what's available. It absolutely sabotaged them. People who had to run their parents businesses learned how to run their own, and what making money actually means (it's not a job).

The smart parents did things like put a downpayment on a house for their kid at university, and have the kid rent out the rooms and manage collecting rent from his own student tenants, provided seed money for landscaping, snow plowing, painting and other student level service businesses and had their kid run them. The key thing was the kid could only ever got money as investment, and almost never as income. Metaphorically, often their fathers acted like a bank, whereas their mothers acted like a government, and the difference in outcomes between who handled the money was stark. I have no doubt those behaviours could become independent of which parent, but the family pattern of dependent sons who came from money is a pretty old cliché.

However, internet subcultures like FIRE (financial independnce, retire early) are game changers for financial literacy, and I think we're going to see a real change in how wealth is made and managed over the next few decades as a direct consequence.

First one I don't buy (someone will still do the things worth doing because they will make some more, they will simply have more competition...I also believe in antitrust), second one...no, aside from what we do anyway? Every developed nation has a robust taxation system, this simply makes that information public.
It’s trivial to identify a statistic to support the authors claim. People inherit money all the time, ranging from sums insufficient to cover funeral costs - to enough money to last 1000 generations.

So coming up with “70% lose their wealth” amounts to choosing a threshold on inheritance where people are inheriting good money, but not extreme sums.

It’s easy to burn a 2 million dollar inheritance, and pretty much impossible to lose a billion dollar inheritance.

This is really cool and I've wanted to make a similar system for myself.

My ideal system would be tied into a smart fridge capable of knowing what food is inside, how much if it there is, and how old it is.

Then it could recommend you meals and snacks based in what you have, and what nutrition you still need for the day.
A study by Roy Williams from the Williams Group which is a wealth consultancy:

"In 2002, Roy Williams of The Williams Group published the results of a 25-year survey of 3,250 instances of generational wealth transfer. He concluded that 70% of those transitions failed, where failure was defined as involuntary loss of control of the assets. That finding underscores and even quantifies the observation that Smith made centuries ago, but Williams took the analysis a step further and explored the reasons for those failures"

He wrote a book with Vic Preisser titled "Preparing Heirs: Five Steps to a Successful Transition of Family Wealth and Values" that has the results of the study. Looks like you can get a copy for $3.51 on Amazon.

Germany has extremely high electricity prices for the consumer. It doesn't matter if it's occasionally negative if the average is extremely costly, because you need electricity all the time.
If that's the case then the GUI app isn't open source and is a completely different product from the CLI version, and differently licensed. If the CLI version can't do everything the GUI version can, I'd be keen to move to a more open and honest platform, especially for something as personal as a VPN.
How do you get from 300$/kWh to 4.2$/kWh?
If...

The other thing is people don't inherit when they are 20, rather when they are 50 or older. Children of well off families do get a leg up, first because they can afford to take more risk, have better access to education, also because of what they learn from their parents. But inheritance is typically something that come much after they key years of one's career.
I am using mbsync with Evolution, and it has worked well for me. Might be worth noting that I'm only syncing in one direction though.
They’re rough averages, and I can’t tell (it gave me NAN) if they’re taking your current age into account. You could die tomorrow, but you also have a roughly equal chance to live into your 100’s. Every year you survive, you have a longer estimated lifespan.

FWIW, as someone in their early 30’s, the chances of you dying this year are somewhere in the 1% range. But your life expectancy has also gone up to 78/83 (male/female), from 76/81 where you were at birth.
I believe they changed this in the last 6 months or year, but if you have an older ISO if Windows 10, and you don't have it connected to the Internet when you install, you can create a local account during installation.
The book is obsolete on financial costs, but still useful for the physical scale of infrastructure required by various technologies. A lot of people have fairly poor intuition about that.
I think it's even worse than that, because a significant part of Moxie's argument is that the current centralized web3 approaches have structural advantages (especially speed of innovation) that will leave the "proposed solutions" constantly trying to catch up. And the incredible popularity of the centralized approaches seems to suggest users in the web3 space value those advantages more than they value adhering to the distributed principles supposedly at the heart of web3.

To their credit, the author of the rebuttal acknowledges that the Opensea type approaches are problematic, but misses the greater argument around why they're popular and why trying to replace them with something "better" will be difficult.
> I don't follow the Paris-Dakar rally very closely

It shows :P It's now called only "Dakar rally", and hasn't had anything to do with Paris or Dakar for years. It had stints in South America and is now in Saudi Arabia, precisely because of the precarious security situation in Subsaharan Africa.

I would expect 99% of us not wanting our search history revealed or just even logged. Specially with English as a second language, I've searched for things (to learn what they are) that are just horrible, think blue pancake/muffin/whatever it was.

Or just plainly searching about legal or medical issues to learn/get informed can yield some very questionable queries taken out of context as well.

Do you currently log user search queries?
Almost all of your concerns are the same in the scenario of Zoom home school.

Internal motivation is needed for success in learning no matter what delivery mechanism is utilized. Having a teacher in a box on a screen is not going to change whether a student has internal motivation.

Auto-didact is not the same as having an app teach and guide through levels of learning any different than having a teacher lead it.

I feel like your comment is a knee jerk, disingenuous reaction rather than honest consideration of alternatives to the false dichotomy of “in class school” and “zoom school”, but whatever floats your boat.
I think the question is relevant, certain countries are under sanctions and could make a lot of things complex for those operating services.
And polling has its own issues. You have no real control over how often clients will poll, so you need some kind of caching layer or some kind of anti-abuse mechanism that keeps track of API keys and returns 429 when a client polls too frequently (but still permit polling from clients that poll at a more respectful, slower rate). That caching or anti-abuse layer has its own engineering cost and represents its own trade-offs.
Not enough is said about the cultural shift that happened as a result of technology giving economic and social power to the West Coast counter-culture scene.

I've set up two new M1 machines in my household in the last two months without Apple ID. Everything is fine. No dark patterns. No unskippable prompts.
Frankly, even a working calculator can induce the same problem. My school allowed calculators with a “solve” function to be used on calculus tests, and a staggering number of people would directly transcribe whatever output it gave, regardless of how nonsensical. “NaN” was a favorite.
Worth noting that this study is based on a survey where people self-report (by the inheritor) inheritance flows. In countries where this is tracked in parallel with actual estate data, most inherited wealth is not reported on these sorts of surveys.

It is also based on patching together different datasets from different authors.

Estimates using non-self reported data as well as homogenous (rather than pasted) series have found that about 60% of wealth in the US is inherited, likely 50% of that is inherited by the top 5% most affluent households, and that the effect is inequality enhancing. [0]

I like to take a line from Two Minute Papers[1] - If this is what one "paper" was able to produce, imagine the improvements will be two "papers" down the line.

> In order to extend its contact time with customers “at least to 10 years”, Toyota will take vehicles back to the factory after their first use cycle (ie a typical lease contract) and refurbish them “to the best standard” to ensure the second user has as new a vehicle as possible.

I don't understand this. They're saying they'll refurbish customer cars starting at 3 years. But modern cars are still look and run like new after 3 years. Also, a few years ago, the average age of a used car in the US was 9 years. Probably greater than that now. Without refurbishment.
In Europe some families are still insanely rich from being rich 500 years ago. There's not much being written about them today as many do not seek publicity.

Future XWiki employee (should start in March!). Feel free to reach out to XWiki [1] [2], they'll be happy to answer your question and address your specific needs. They are nice. Feel free to contact me if you'd prefer but I'll be less competent than them for obvious reasons.

I don't know many things about XWiki yet, but the main difference between MediaWiki and XWiki is probably the X in XWiki (eXtensible). XWiki is more like a development platform to build a website, a blog, or a collaborative platform (internal or public) that you can tailor to your needs. What you put as contents is highly customizable / scriptable and several Wiki syntaxes are supported. The XWiki syntax can be extended to support your custom features if needed. There are a lot of apps [3] to extend XWiki (some are paid, but open source anyway so you can compile them yourself). LDAP is supported. XWiki will also provide support or specific developments if needed.

MediaWiki is developed for Wikipedia first. That's what you can read on XWiki's website anyway. But if you don't need anything that MediaWiki doesn't already provide and like its UX, it can't be a wrong decision to go for it. Many people outside Wikimedia use it and the UX is familiar to everybody, and that's huge. Both tools can be self hosted (and MediaWiki is quite easy to install), MediaWiki is mostly in PHP, XWiki is in Java. XWiki can be hosted for you by XWiki SAS. They'll also help handle migrations from Confluence and are currently handling a lot of them, and I'm sure they will be interested by hearing about migrations from other tools too.

I guess WikiMatrix would be a good starting point [4]. XWiki also have comparisons to common collaborative platforms on their websites including MediaWiki. They are obviously biased, but don't lie neither. You might want to check them out.

I hadn't encountered Bookstack, before. The UI seems quite clean. I hope we'll have the pleasure to meet and discuss at some point! The UK is not far, we are neighbors. Hmm, neighbours!

edit: by the way, you might be interested by XWiki's online presentation at FOSDEM on the 5th of February [5], as well as any other presentation in the collaboration and content management devroom, because not everything collaboration is a wiki :-) [6]
