Newer building codes require a separate air supply for gas stoves as well as venting outside.

With a high efficiency furnace the combustion air comes from outside and is directly vented outside.

That leaves water heaters which are vented either up the chimney (mostly these days with a liner) or a forced air vent.

A mid or low efficiency furnace vented to a chimney without a liner could well result in combustion products leaking through the chimney into the house.

Heat exchanger leaks could also be a factor, but usually the duct space is higher pressure than the vent which has the chimney draft. Leakage can still happen before the draft develops after ignition.
Heimdal's ASN.1 compiler generates C code. It also generates bytecode with C bindings. Two options.

Also, I've made it generate JSON dumps of the ASN.1 modules. My goal is to eventually replace the C-coded backends that generate C / bytecode with jq-coded backends that can generate C, Java, Rust, etc.
EBV is associated with a lot of things that involve a tiny percentage of the population. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease. Burkitt's lymphoma. Oral hairy leukoplakia. Related viruses are associated with other diseases, e.g. HHV-8 and Kaposi's Sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and Castleman's disease.
It allows to divert a discussion, for example if a Russian politician/minister is confronted with the topic of the Ukraine in a press conference or an interviewer, then it would be easy to stop that discussion by responding with these arrests.

The comparison to the NSA isn't that valid, since it is well known that the NSA does this, but I don't think that there would be many persons who would know a single thing the FSB has done in Cyberspace, unlike them being famous for poisoning and throwing people out of windows.
Anyone tried changing the user agent?
For over a decade I've heard tons of stories about PayPal freezing accounts for questionable reasons. I've heard of events that were cancelled because the organizers suddenly couldn't access the money people paid to the event, and PayPal wouldn't release the money until they could prove they'd organized the event for which people paid, for which the organizers of course needed that money.

I will never ever use PayPal. Everything I've heard about them makes them sound like an extremely unreliable payment provider.They're not an organization you should trust with your money.

This one depends on both the field you are in as well as your own academic philosophy OP.

If the paper is enough to reproduce the results AND cleaning up the code can/is tedious, then adding the "code and data are available upon request" note seems both fair and justified.

That way, whoever wants the code can still ask for it and it does not lay an unnecessary burden on the author.

There's no downside to arresting them.

If MS is a faulty immune response from EBV, wouldn't a vaccine theoretically and potentially trigger this same faulty immune response?

There are obviously other causative factors influencing MS. One is EBV, the other is likely a specific type of immune system.

The expectation when removing per task buffers is that some estimation errors for individual tasks will be high and others low so ultimately to an extent they'll cancel each other out.

In Goldratt's system, the risk comes from the longest (in terms of duration) chain of dependent tasks. Delays early in the chain can only be canceled out by speed ups in later dependent tasks, that's the primary motivation for that global buffer.

The technique was adapted from factory production line optimization. The case can be made that it can work well for projects doing repeatable and thoroughly understood things like constructing buildings. There are reasons it's not a slam dunk for software, but IMO there's still a lot to learn from his work.

Reddit has terrible QA or next to no automated testing it seems. Just recently, on mobile with "new Reddit", the subreddit filter for new posts just wasn't working. Just showed the top posts. If they don't have tests for that after how many years of redesign, then it must be company policy not to test.
When I was in school (it's been a while), we built super boring things that nobody cared about as our assignments. Various inventory systems, which you have to sort/search.

That was a big challenge of mine in school. I wasn't that interested in the assignments, because I was building boring stuff that didn't really solve problems, let alone ones I cared about.

I am pretty prolific in my career, and I'm not even what you would call a hardcore dev. Which brings me to my next gripe with CS curriculum: It is geared towards training hardcore devs and not any other type of engineer.

The types of coders we should have some sort of curriculum for, which we to this day mostly do not:

-SRE's
-Ops people
-Support people
-PM's
-Accountants/General finance
-DBA's
-SysAdmins
-Network engineers
-Cloud engineers

We can only hope.

In all seriousness, it feels like it was a long time coming. There were indications that web is moving towards one approved browser. It is just our luck that one browser is Chrome.
I can't help but have a sinking feeling that this as a result of the wider trend of using only Chromium-based browsers. If they were the ones affected by this issue, I feel like it would get solved almost immediately.
One should not design cryptographic protocols so that they require canonical encodings.

Instead one should write tooling that produces decoders that preserve the original encoding of signed data.
This is unironically a good idea. The main stumbling block isn't programming per se, it's breaking down a conceptual, informal idea of what you have to do in a formal language.

It matters very little whether it's linear programs, ASM instructions, LISP forms or C++ classes.
maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

Not really, it is very specifically worded to paint the NRC in bad light. Vogtle, Virgil C. Summer and company have gotten the applications regarding their designs approved. They just haven't managed to bring the construction to a finish yet.

The NRC may be the culprit there also, but that is a completely different question.
I also get the "Blocked" in Firefox, and I get "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" with Chromium.

I'm almost like a customer successs engineer, product manager, scrum master, senior developer and tech lead all rolled into one.

Management administrivia
I accumulate administrative things my manager doesn't want to do & pushes down
I do unofficially own a part of the team
Dotted lines of devs in my "team" that can be rolled in & out sprint by sprint

Customer success / product / architecture
I collect customer requirements, translate them into stories & documentation
I manage customer/manager expectations with status meetings & reports
I project plan out 3 months of work with JIRA hierarchies/Gantt chart
I design solutions given the requirements

Scrum
I run our standups, sprint plannings, backlog refinements

Corporate citizenship
I am involved in recruiting 5-10% of my week
I run working groups / long running cross team tech org

Development
I do IC work - directly assigned sprint deliverable tickets (analysis, development, infra creation) I need to accomplish

I've been looking at moving to a more official management role elsewhere so I can focus at being good at a few things instead of decent at all the things.
Here's the denial letter to Oklo directly from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission:

https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2135/ML21357A034.pdf

All Oklo application documents linked to from this top level page: https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/col/aurora-oklo.ht...

While searching World Nuclear News for background about Oklo I ran into this story:

"Oklo to power bitcoin mining machines"

https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Oklo-to-power-Bi...

This is dubious on a couple of levels. Micro-reactors like Oklo (1.5 megawatt electrical output per unit, compared to 1000+ megawatts for Generation III reactors currently being built) would be hard pressed to produce electricity suitable for an industry that seeks globally-cheapest prices. Announcing a "20-year commercial partnership" to supply 100 units to a mining firm, before they've built a single unit, is optimistic to the point of recklessness.

The Oklo founders [1], Caroline Cochran and Jacob DeWitte, have no industrial experience, according to their LinkedIn profiles. They met at MIT while TA'ing and went straight from graduate school to founding Oklo.

I just don't think that Oklo knows what they are doing.

GlassDoor says FedEx pilots make an average of $239k/year, plus some bonuses.

That's still not enough to have missiles fired at you, IMO.
Left about 6 months ago, and was basically shocked at the compensation bump I got. As someone full time remote since 2017, working at the latest place since 2018, it felt like a new world looking for a job in 2021. So many more options, which basically makes it a job-seekers market.

But while the compensation bump is nice, the thing that got me seeking was the company itself. After an acquisition by VMWare, I watched it deteriorate over a year or two. To make anything happen, you had to basically go into "hero mode" working tons of hours, etc. And then you'd see pretty incompetent managers, the kind that treat engineers like cogs, continue to get promoted. Oh, and add no real clear direction on the products themselves.

So I guess that's "company culture"? I think there's a lot of people in this bucket, where "too much stupid at the current place" plus "lots of opportunity" means it's time to look around.
I don't think so. I have binding to the google cloud API https://github.com/treeform/googleapi (for work) and the digital ocean API https://github.com/treeform/digitalocean (for personal) almost no one uses or cares about it besides me. If there was some pent up demand I would have more issues and PRs.

Most CPU fans are little.
The implementation is essentially a complete replacement for the kernel page cache and I/O scheduler, much of the behavior of which is hidden behind the mmap() functions. It is never a drop-in replacement and you wouldn't want it to be but it is functionally quite similar.

For example, while the storage will usually have a linear address space, the "pointer" to that address space won't be a literal pointer even though it may behave much like one. There may be stricter invariants around write back and page fault behavior, and madvise()-like calls have deterministic effects. You often have cheap visibility into details of page/buffer state that you don't get with mmap() that can be used in program logic. And so on. Different but similar.
Regardless it passes the Freidman test.

Also not enough people have the time or inclination to pick locks or learn enough about a trade to discern good vs bad contractors. My points still stand.

I feel that you need to live outside of the bubble of a developed country to get a better perspective of things.

I'm not too familiar with data and methods related to Covid deaths in the US, but here's a breakdown of deaths with Covid from the UK for 2020:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/fre...

The deaths with Covid for the above 65 age group outweigh those in the below 65 group by 10:1 (and continue to drop exponentially with age).

Even with the large elderly and frail populations in the Western countries we inhabit, and the (frankly) enthusiasm for counting deaths as Covid deaths [1], the absolute number of Covid deaths is also still relatively small. It's certainly nowhere near the scale of the great historical pandemics, nor does the disease itself present as much of a horror as diseases that ran rampant within living memory - for example, smallpox.

[1] Early in 2020, medical guidance in the UK was changed such that it became significantly easier to record any viral respiratory death as Covid, the requirement for a confirming test was removed, and the requirement for a cornonary investigation was also removed. I can link the documents if required.
Firefox. On desktop.
This is interesting now. What are some other simple ways of identifying a browser?
So then you admit that your argument about Mediterranean access is irrelevant.
Below your quote, it says that NuScale has gotten approval. It’s not that nobody has gotten approved, it’s that nobody has commenced operation.
Is it supported by fact? You know as noted then it was one of the first death of IT workers in those days. I do not think I would accept Soviet Union justified that in any way. They can send in plane to fight eve it down and show to the world that if truth. Not shooting it down.
Do you know of any comparative studies with other countries? Or is this a predominately US/Canada issue?

For example, do BIPOC students in Botswana drop out at similar rates? Do non-BIPOC students in Taiwan experience similar drop out rates? What are the classes and course materials like in these countries in comparison to the US/Canada?

What about drop out numbers from international students? For example, do Polish women studying CS at American universities drop out at the same rate as American women? For those who do drop out, do they drop out for the same reasons?

If we want to get to the root of the problem we need both more breadth and more depth in our understanding. Too often we stop at the men/women (in America) or BIPOC/non-BIPOC (in America) divides, and then provide generalized solutions which have very limit impact.

Hell, probably wouldn't have even made it to production.
Widely varies. It's a crappy "time working for this specific employer" based seniority system.
Why would they choose the latter when it's the most expensive option?

Also, outright revocation of 230 is just one option. Companies at Facebook/Twitter/Reddit scale would do nearly anything to keep that protection since moderation at that scale simply is not possible. This gives an inroad to all kinds of regulation.

Alternatively, your second scenario happens, and it likely leads to the destruction of large, centralized social media, and a proliferation of decentralized, hard-to-sue alternatives. This too, is a win.
That's like most hobbies/careers.

People want to learn the guitar|piano|violin, until they realize the amount of work it takes.

People want to get fit and jacked, until they realize the amount of work it takes.

People want to be a lawyer/doctor/engineer, until they realize the amount of work it takes.

Or they realize that they just don't really like it.

Programming isn't any different. One needs a particular mindset, and a level of patience to deal with debugging. It's not for everyone, and that's fine.

On the contrary, I expect copper savings attractive enough to see wiring everything with two thin wires (thickly insulated) on 6000V, with electronics in every socket doing the conversion to 120V AC or 12V or 5V DC. It'll be also simple to install, unlike Cat5 or whatever the article proposes.

The study really doesn't suggest that. All it suggests is that EBV seropositive people are much more likely to develop MS than the seronegative minor population.

As for long COVID, the data quality is very variable. I'd like to see a controlled study that compares recovery from COVID vs. other respiratory viruses.
