"On the other hand, that 20 year old book on learning Java with Symmantec Visual Cafe sitting on one of my bookshelves is probably nearly completely useless."

Hah. I think I learned Java with that book as well, and used Visual Cafe starting out. I think one thing I did pick up (relatively) early was that books written to have a short shelf life were probably poor investments. Some "Word 6.0 for Dummies"-type book is probably meant to get someone up to speed that had pirated the program, and not a more general mind-expander that is going to lead you to thinking about how to implement some idea in whatever you're using today.
Using Docker images as deployment packages for AWS Lambda has two notable disadvantages from my point of view:

- You're suddenly responsible for managing the whole operating system again, neglecting one of the major benefits of AWS Lambda.

- You need to store the Docker images in AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) which adds additional complexity to the setup.
There are many aquarium lighting companies that make these types of fixtures, because this intensity of lighting is exactly what people want to (and do) simulate over their aquariums (though generally at spectrums that are bluer than daylight)!

I think in terms of cost what the OP is not realizing is that when you are talking about hundreds of watts of LEDs, that is a lot of heat that is very concentrated. It takes a thoughtful design and active cooling to ensure the fixture is safe and the LEDs are kept at the proper temperates to maximize their life and performance. You don't really need to worry about active cooling when you have a few low wattage LED bulbs spread throughout a room. But cram a ton of them together in a small area and you absolutely do.

If you really want 100k lux in indoor spaces, it will cost rather a lot of electricity. It works out to 2300 kWh per day to light the average US home to sunlight brightness for 8 hours per day. So 75x the current typical electricity use!

If everyone wanted that, I don't think the nation could even produce that much power.
Golang is quite bad when trying to find an implementation for an interface, because it is quite easy to accidentally implement an interface even if you're not intending to. This also makes it much harder on the IDE to index everything.
I wonder if the US could or does conduct direct drone warfare in the Ukraine in secret. With strong end to end encryption, it doesn't seem like it'd be that difficult. The Ukraine could just claim they are operating US made drones.
We are. A big chunk of our app was already written in dotnet from a previous failed attempt, including the C# libraries that talk to our CRM system over SOAP. So it was a no brainer to just port the C# code to lambda. Also node is terrible at SOAP.

We also have a layer of node lambdas that can be used to aggregate/transform the more granular C# lambdas, but aren't always necessary. IE - and endpoint in API Gateway can go straight to a C# lambda if the response already fits its needs.
The weapons invented in WW1 proved to the world that wars like this weren't worth it anymore for anyone.

Weapons were too good in the early 1900s, and the wear-and-tear on soldiers would scar them for the rest of their lives. The Axis powers didn't get the message in the 1930s/1940s, so one more ass-kicking was needed, but its overall not a good idea to initiate wars of conquest in today's society.

Neither. The study suggests Hof’s techniques were effective but that his body had not had any real adaptations compared to his identical twin brother. Meaning if study is accurate then his success is a mix of his breathing techniques, mental techniques and genetics.
That's all true for many younger people no doubt. However, as a history graduate it wasn't like I lacked the context. It was more that the necessary preconditions seemed absent in the present era.

With regards to a wider global conflict, my expectation was that it could happen in the coming decades, possibly as a second order effect of climate change. It just seemed that, right now, the variables in the equation were wrong. We didn't reckon with Putin being this way though. He seemed like a difficult thorn in the side of the west, a belligerent and cunning autocrat, but I never saw him confronting Europe in this way. I think he's actually changed. This might be premeditated but I don't think this was his plan 20 years ago whatever anger he harboured towards the west back then.

> A majority of Americans cannot afford an unexpected expense of $1,000

1. Those statistics typically use a very misleading definition of 'afford'.

2. It would be the exact opposite of unexpected, and even if you procrastinate you just get reduced range and the car keeps working.

And you could probably get a monthly payment plan for an electric car battery.

> The fact that its cheaper than the amount of gas you'd pay over that lifetime is irrelevant considering most Americans are not rich enough to shop comparatively like that. It's expensive to be poor.

You'd pay the new battery money after saving on gas for 12 years. Replacement batteries are not an "expensive to be poor" problem.
> And I would add that Go is obviously easier than Java here by design

Nothing in golang makes it easier to understand compared to Java by design, and the opposite is actually true (e.g. no proper enums, no records, no pattern matching, etc.) make it more verbose and harder to get to the underlying logic.

That being said, you should see some of my employer's golang code with their web framework that they wrote and the 80+ line stack traces.
Trump emboldened Putin by increasing US dependence on foreign oil. Privately met with him, without record or press.

In 2017, the first Congressional Delegation to Russia (all Republicans) had a private meeting with Putin on July 4th - Independence Day!

Trump recently praised Putin and called his tactic “genius” and just today Tom Cotton(R) refused to denounce Trumps support of Putin.

Ad nausem…

Trumps indirect support of Putin and Kim Jong Un was also particularly unnerving.

It's trivial to look up the docs to see what they do. It's not unlike looking up what a function call does.
Here, maybe having you read this will help, because you don't seem to understand it when I say it.

That's 'remoting in'. If you have some sort of hardware inside russia that you can perform this connection to, it will allow you to control that hardware as if you are holding the keyboard and mouse; but from afar. This is usually done through a network connection that uses a virtual private network, which is where I think you are getting confused with the commonly referred to VPN's today that are actually just a bunch of honey pots and M.I.T.M's. (Yes, even whatever VPN you think you trust and use. Unless you own that hardware yourself, it's compromised and you cannot trust that you aren't being logged/etc...)

But, with that said... turns out NordVPN has a pretty good explanation you might understand better than listening to me.

https://nordvpn.com/blog/vpn-vs-rdp/

Here is the first paragraph:
---------------------------

VPN vs. remote desktop

Is a VPN the same as a remote desktop? No! They serve a similar function, but where a VPN gives you access to a secure network, RDP focuses on providing remote access to a specific computer. Both will (usually) encrypt your traffic in one way or another, and both will grant you private access to a server or device that might be thousands of miles away.

I think bright room lighting is a very promising avenue for SAD and circadian rhythm issues.

Last year, for my house plants, I suspended a pair of 100w full spectrum grow lights in my living room. Throughout the winter I've been using my kitchen table as a workspace and I swear this is the first time in my life that I've completely avoided SAD and my circadian rhythm has been sufficiently advanced that I'm now a morning person. In my configuration the lights are suspended behind me, the glare from having them in direct eyesight is problematic.

Has been absolutely wonderful and can definitely recommend giving it a try, the "quantum board" full spectrum lamps are getting really affordable.
I mean, some articles I have seen so far call Putin an aggressor right in the title and then there is only one side considered.

What do you expect to see? Equal words given to both the pro and the con side? Is the universe so relative that, whatever the subject, all opinions are equally correct?

What on earth is the point of news, then? Half of every article saying that something happened and the other half saying it didn't?

News isn't letters-to-the-editor.

My view... is that all the participants of the conflict only pursue their strategic interests and no one really cares about the Ukrainians (which is really sad).

That's a worldview, not news. That is letters-to-the-editor.

Bullies in Academia

Thank you, but that's still not an answer to my question :)

You pass in *out as an argument (allocated by caller, so caller has a handle on it), then the result/value of reverse ends up in *out - and then reverse returns *out as a return value in addition to having done its work.

I was wondering why (I guess you could say I ask why it's a "function" not a "procedure").

I guess that the contract is that "reverse" takes ownership of *out as its passed in, and just happens to not return a pointer to a different buffer. But then my question is why it can't do its own allocation too... (which you did explain).

In other words - why does reverse return a pointer rather than, say a success/error (or void - can it error? Maybe on arbitrary binary data?)

There's more to explore. In particular, using groups of similar products and users to infer recommendations given only very sparse data is powerful but underexplored in production usage.

(Disclosure: I work at a a company which just expanded their product portfolio in this direction. The first few pilot customers show very good results, but there are a lot of aspects and nuances and alternative approaches we haven't had time to try yet.)

Netflix gets away with mainly training on dense data from high-frequency users that binge on content. The techniques they use don't adapt very well to most other organisations.
I've installed eight of these[1] CRI 98+, 5000K, 752 lm strips for a total of ~6000 lm, and during the day I use them in addition to about 3000 lm from two light bulbs, one of which is a nice CRI 90 2700K. I'm very happy with the quality of the light from the strips, though I probably should've gone for a few more. Another pair directly over the computer desk would be nice.

I generally find them uncomfortable when night starts to fall, at which point I just leave the dimmer yellow lights on.

There’s probably different ways to adjust what you eat or how to go through a day.

There must be as many combination as there are people, I had friends who switched to snacks that were harder to eat and took them more time to digest. I personally changed job for something less soul crushing, and it takes way less efforts, gimmicks and snacks to stay focused or keep a decent work rythme.
If you programme money to restrict what people can do with it, people will find something else to use for money for those restricted things. There's never a way to beat human ingenuity/deviousness.

> JavaScript is increasingly becoming a compilation target

JavaScript is the browser's machine code; having it as a compilation target makes at least as much sense as having an Intel chip as a compilation target.
I have no reason to favor either side

Yes you do. A warmongering country with a crazy dictator (that threatens the world with nukes) has vowed to crush a friendly neighboring country, and then proceeded to invade said country. This is definitely black and white and a just cause for Ukraine. You will be hard-pressed to find anything clearer.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance

Europe _definitely_ cares for Ukraine directly, but we also care about the larger security situation. A world where Putin invades countries on a whim is objectively bad for all countries (except for Russia _maybe_). Ukraine is protecting Democracy with the lives of their soldiers and brave civilians. I would be honored if Ukraine wants to join the EU after this.
I don't mind the source "leaking", as stated in the article. I'm even planning to just send it onto paying customers, but that's impossible on mobile platforms without making it public. I want a hurdle, just enough to make people consider buying instead of downloading. Take Fritzing for example, for os X and windows you must pay for an installer or compile yourself, on most Linux distros it's an apt insta away.

I've had multiple forms of donation buttons on my various sites and software over the years and they have never worked as good as either ads or paid software. As in, 99% difference.

Everything you are saying is pointing to starvation induced metabolic disease.

You said it yourself that you were always starving as a vegan. Given that you were a "good" vegan, living on low calorie foods, I cannot see how you think you ate more calories, but were starving.

If you told me you had a 150kg squat, 200kg deadlift and did 6+ hours of hiking every week, but still had issues with weight and always felt hungry, I would be quite surprised, because there's no way you could maintain maximal force production with low calories. All of that muscle would also not be there with low calories.

Vegan food is rich in carbs, so saying you cannot metabolize short chain fatty acids is irrelevant when most of your calories came from carbs. Your body can turn these carbs to fatty acids that your genes can deal with (to create hormones, if you had enough protein too). If we think about essential fatty acids, then your hypothesis is testable, either by taking a long essential fatty acid supplement (EPA + DHA), or by measuring your EPA/DHA plasma levels after consuming ALA rich plant oils like flexseed (not olive oil, and most definitely not sunflower oil). Still, no way deficiency of ALA metabolites is going to put you in a weird starvation mode. It's the starvation that is causing your metabolism to shutdown. Of course you will have trouble metabolising ALA if you are starving.

Yes, it's not about food, it's about calories. Individuals that want to function well need to eat enough. If your issue was short fatty acids, then it's quite impressive that your diet fixed it. Long fatty acids are not essential, and to function you need to be able to create metabolites from short fatty acids, because not all long fatty acids required for human hormones and metabolism are present in your food.
Well, a few weeks ago I might have said no way he would actually invade the whole Ukraine. But here we are.
God I wish TC39 would treat JavaScript as a compilation target, but they do seem to keep adding new complex features for end-developers (which, as you say, are mixing up what it even means to code in the language: the class-oriented stuff in a prototype-based language is causing a whack-a-mole of syntax complexity to regain what they lost, such as with decorators) that of course every implementation will have to support (which alone should be a reason to try to only add features and behaviors to the browser that absolutely could not possibly be simulated effectively in code: browsers should be easy for a few people to implement, like a JVM, with most users using nothing but JS and canvas, generated as a compilation target... but, instead they are spiraling behemoths of complexity with ever-burgeoning CSS and HTML features that even Microsoft had to finally tap out of bothering to maintain).

> I'm not arguing people aren't willing to pay more. I'm pointing out that the scalper is providing nothing of value to anyone but himself.

How is the scalper different from the retailer or the distributor (assuming there's a distributor between Sony and the retailer, although their might not be)

The scalper is providing value to the retailer by paying for and taking delivery of their inventory (although, if the scalper overbuys and then returns, that's a negative); although, if the demand is so high that the product never sits on shelves, the scalper doesn't provide much value to the retailer.

The scalper provides value to the customer by having inventory available.

I personally don't like to pay more to get something now, when I could wait and get it later for less, so I wouldn't buy from a scalper, but I can see there's value provided. The market shows there's value too.

Ethically, as long as you're honest about it, and personally, that would include not returning items you overbought, I'm not sure I see an ethical problem. If something is hard to find, and you take time and effort to find it, you can and should charge a premium to compensate you for your time. Sure, people buying to resell may move forward demand, and make the item harder to find, and that feels a bit squishy, kind of like if everyone stocks up on a commodity at once, it makes it harder to find, and makes stocking up more desirable, etc, but eventually people have enough and there will be a lull and then back to normal. Does that make stocking up unethical? I don't think so, but maybe it could be argued.
No one is asking for equal words. That said, very few things are truly black/white. Read the article in Foreign Policy linked in the thread. This for the most part is my main concern.

The whole conflict is viewed as a battle between "good" and "bad", but it's not really that simple as always. Both sides have their interest in the war so why pretend it's just one villain against knights in shining armor?

I will say that again, I hate all the propaganda around, as well as what was started 5 days ago. There is no and will never be a valid reason for starting a war. But reading the news these days (from both directions) makes me sick.
