If you sell a program which works now, you're not making any claims it will continue to work in the future, that's the model software sales ran for years. There's no reason, legal or ethical, for you to continue to give free updates to people that bought something from you in the past, just like if you sell a bike to someone you don't need to continue to maintain it.

For your software you could sell a support contract with it, you could even bundle it in up front, and then sure you are expected to provide that support.

None of this is of any relevance to someone . If I copy your software it doesn't hurt you, it doesn't cost you, it doesn't deny you the use of that software. It's wrong, sure, but not because of theft, just like it's wrong to sneak into an empty cinema, or download something from the internet.

If I steal your computer, it does hurt you, it denies you the use of that computer. That is theft, that is wrong, and I'd argue more wrong than copying your software.
Additionally it also hinders those who do not natively speak English. Sqrt or square root and pow aren't terms that commonly used in calculator for other languages, at least my country.

And I guess sqrt shortform isn't that common used either.

The way I see it, Hadoop is still in common use as the storage layer for Spark and related implementations, whether that is in the form of HDFS or something like EMRFS:

Don't forget, the US is a car-oriented country with inadequate public transit and rail infrastructure. Many poor people are forced to own a car because they can't afford to live near where they work.

No able-bodied person in an urban area should need to own a car, but that's not reality.
Mostly agree. If you’ve done native app development you have seen the light.

Problem is a lot of devs only ever did web development and think this is “ok”.
It's the losing side that tries to get all the help it can. So it's far more likely that it's Ukraine trying to recruit some anti-Assad insurgents from Syria.

Foreign-speakers would only cause problems for the Russians, not help them.
I guess being healthy isn't just about disease but wellbeing. You could drink/smoke/eat fast-food/never exercise and live till your 90 but you might feel shit every morning.
Hahaha yeah that is true. That is also one of the first thing I hear in a good recording. A well defined bass. Its crazy how on bad equipment and mixes the bass is only a static noise in the background

May be we have to look at this using the low of diminishing returns. At some point optimising your "healthy life-style" won't yield significant reduction in probability of getting sick. But on the other hand very unhealthy life-style will yield sickness with very high probability. I guess a good balance would be to allow yourself a "treat" from time to time, but generally avoid things which are well-known to cause health problems like smoking for example. Also remind yourself not to go over-board with the "healthy life-style".
I doubt his kids would be killed in Austria/Switzerland/New Zeeland.

Plus, the former head of Mi6 warned not to try and corner Putin, since if he were to be personally severely threatened, he wouldn't hesitate to turn to using nuclear weapons and take the whole world down with him if he were to ever be ousted form power by the west.
1. A healthy diet and activity cannot prevent illness entirely
2. She would possibly have handled the illness not as good, if she was eating junk and out of shape.

Short takeaway: we cannot influence everything about us, but we can influence activity and diet, and it does have a measurable impact on our health.

To me, it will basically be areas where solar and wind companies are weakest in a local market/jurisdiction where this will take off (as we've seen a lot of the newer solar MW capacity build out not in the US to date).

The point is that you have a lot of influence over outcomes. There are mountains of evidence to support that fact, with comparatively easy and accessible interventions ranging from abstaining from smoking, to eating healthy food, to getting exercise. As with everything else in life, though, what you are doing by living healthily is turning the probabilities in your favor. That means that someone with unlucky genetic predispositions, or with an undiagnosed infection/deficiency/toxin exposure etc, might develop cancer despite doing everything in their power to avoid it, while a lucky bon-vivant smoker/drinker/junk foodie might just roll those dice favorably enough times to die of other causes. The point is that you should live your life based on the expected outcome of your actions, rather than on specific example cases, which may be outliers not representative of what you might expect if you follow their lead.
People doing their regular "cardio" and eating their soya crap have the belief they are somehow never going to get ill or die. We all are, why live a dull monotonous existence only to live a few years longer in a care home not knowing who you are. I would rather live life to the max.

Some arabs in Israel are permitted to vote, just like how some African Americans living in the north had the right to vote pre-CRA/VRA. Pre-CRA/VRA America was also an apartheid state.

Most do not have that right, despite being born there, and having no other home country.

That some of them are enfranchised is a fig leaf over an apartheid state.
> Average Russians will be (and already are) take the brunt of this as their savings are destroyed by inflation and/or seized (the Russian "parliament" passed a law requiring all foreign currency payments and bank accounts to have 80% converted to rubles).

Good. The average Russian is absolutely complicit in this. The tougher you make it for the average Russian, the tougher you make it for Putin.
I like to believe that school works as a catalyst here, showing you stuff you wouldn't normally encounter - you have no trouble accessing popular culture, so there's no need to teach you about that (that's being said, one of my more memorable music lessons was the teacher analysing the composition of Pink Floyd's "Shine on you crazy diamond" with us. I can absolutely see Harry Potter becoming an object of academic study and literature teaching in 50-70 years, it is happening with Tolkien already).

On the other hand, less-than-popular culture still is the foundation for our popular culture today - the amount of times "Romeo and Juliet" or "Macbeth" has been adapted, referenced and deconstructed in (popular) media is astonishing, and without knowing the original, you wouldn't fully get the modern references.

You don't need to love Shakespeare (I don't exactly, though I like to see the "Scottish play" every few years) to reap these benefits.

School is not about what people like. If you go by that measure, there's no real need in math, because you will find a lot less people doing calculus for fun, as compared to people who play fantasy football. Of course, you can't really understand the ideas behind fantasy football if you don't know maths, but who cares, it's not popular...

Please note that I did not claim physical labour has no value and one should not know about it. I said that it's relatively easy to pick up, and that it may be more worthwhile to get a professional when the job demands it (a professional, I would like to add, who learned his craft after school, ideally in some kind of apprenticeship). In my country, to get a driver's license, you need to know basic first-aid procedures (and yes, there's a one-day course you need to attend). That doesn't make you a neurosurgeon, and if you have persistent headaches, it's probably better to ask a professional than to depend on me with my first-aid course - or some guy who "learned about surgery techniques" in high school.

> It's true, and deeply unfair, that the Russian people will suffer for the mistakes of their leaders.

One could argue that the Russian leadership is a mistake of the Russian people, so they are equally complicit.

It's RadioFreeEurope (a US funded project), so take it with a pinch of salt, but clearly, the average Russian is complicit in this.
Truly astonishing quote:

>"Each book and exhibition devoted to [Vermeer's] works proves beauty’s corrupting power over scholarly minds."

The author's detachment and lack of value judgement towards the object of study is either admirable or terrifying. I suppose that comes down to the neutrality of science which he admires. Whether the input consists of paintings of Rembrandt or the municipal birth and death records of the town of Ghent during the years 1440-1490, all are equal before science.
This is one of the things where it matters more how healthy/unpolluted your environment is.

I'd dare to say that a not-so-phisically-active moderate-smoker living in a less polluted environment has way lower cancer risk than a bio-vegan athlete buddhist monk living in a polluted industrial hellhole.

I'd wish we lived in a world where we could actually address chemical, air-particulate +/- microplastics pollution seriously, and stuff like PFOAs that are still used round, without having it be totally overshadowed and drowned in noise by the "fight climate change" crowd or the "extinction rebellion" nutcases.

...like in, I'd rather have a petrol/gas plant to replace a local COAL power plant FAST, than a nuclear alternative that would take 20 years to get funding and have the delayed-as-usual building process finalized. And I'd rather have all the hydro and windpower we can built asap, and we can figure out later if we really care about the western-golden-lyre-bird or whatever going extinct because of dams or windmills. In the end, tbh, I've come to terms with a +5/7 C deg global warming (100y timeframe) happening, but not with me or loved ones dying 20 years earlier of cancer because of chemical and particulate air pollution or god-knows-what from the latest untested and unidentified pan or sportswear coating!
A few years at most and that will be sitting in a care home with dementia. The body is very resilient so life life to the max.
I've not seen Storm being used anywhere sane for a few years at least now, and from a glance at job postings it looks unlikely. Spark, Kafka Streams etc. are definitely used in a modern data platform from my experience.

I think we're seeing a big shift with Hadoop-like workloads being moved onto cloud providers, so BigQuery, Amazon EMR etc.
The fossils generation assets that have 50 year lifetimes and financing structured over that period are called stranded assets. Calling for an early retirement of these assets is not easy, but there are policy levers in the US, which can be employed, to accelerate the transition.

Carbon pricing would make coal and NG less viable long term and motivate early retirement, despite financing.

Locally, cities and counties in 10 states are using Community Choice Aggregation to decouple electricity generation from utility monopolies and are buying their own renewables off the wholesale market, on behalf of residents.

By making small policy tweaks and enabling more market based competition, will drive higher renewable adoption in the US.
No mention of diet although you hint at it indirectly when you say avoid subburns.

So Copper is used to make melanin the skin pigment which then converts 99.9% of UV radiation into heat. Now if the copper in your diet is going towards the melanin production there is less for Interleukin-2 which helps white blood cells become more accurate. Ironically, people eat more leafy greens (salds) during the summer months when UV levels are highest so there is a seasonal environmental element to factor in as well.

Too much copper though and it will make you paranoid (dopamine-noradrenaline), and the female oestrogen pill (oestrogen) increases or retains more copper in the body which might probably explains some young womens reports of not feeling too brilliant when young and on the pill.

Responding to your comment on another thread.

I'm guessing you only watched the first fews mins of the video on Russia.
It's hard to see what propaganda value there is in explaining how Russia has a weak economy and wants to capture Ukraine's oil and gas industries.
You're aware that one of the most common regrets in the article is to have laboured too much? Not sure if thats your intention bit it really reads like in the face of that youre reaction is "work(labour) harder" to get fullfillment.
I have read a lot of comments about reducing risks, which is a reasonable and practical approach. But given than almost all of us are going to die of one health condition or another, I think it is reasonable to budget and architect our society around/against that fact. Like, having a medical research tax apart from ordinary income tax, and of course with different accounting and governance.

And it is not about funding healthcare (which is what politicians talk about in their speeches), but about funding medical research, which is a different matter altogether. A country can have universal healthcare and zero medical research, for example. Then again, I think that this distinction would be lost on most people.
Thanks for that link, pretty illuminating.

For anyone curious, breakdown of US power generation in 2021 was (4200 TWh total):

Coal : 22%
Natural Gas : 38%
Nuclear : 19%
Hydroelectric : 6%
Other Renewables : 14%

Curiously, hydroelectric power production has been flat for the past decade. Is that because we've already tapped out most places where hydro can be productive?
Indeed. AC typically needs to run when the sun is shining. A perfect match.
About 700 people received a free Pro license for Lunar for donating in the past (a much smaller amount than the current price, usually $3).

After their free update period ended, some of those people began using the cracked version. I know that because they reported issues without knowing that the tnt@team.ru email would show up on the report.

I don’t know how many people are doing that, but I can say for sure that there are people that could pay for the software, but don’t because using the crack is easier for them.

Paddle also offers a dashboard and I can clearly see the monthly revenue dropping by $500-$1k on months when a crack is released for the latest version. When I launch an update with a new anti-piracy measure that stalls the crackers for another month or two, the monthly revenue goes back up.

“It doesn’t hurt the dev, I wouldn’t have paid anyway” is just something people tell themselves to justify their action.
My whole point is that sometimes intermediate steps don't have good names. I often have to apply multiple transformations to a collection, but only the first and last step have a name because the intermediate steps are just that. "salted batter" is not a thing, it's just a placeholder name because you needed a name. You will never use "salted batter", you'll only use ingredients and bread.
The author is from India. India has been experiencing a wave of changes in the face of a growing middle class. The pollution level in every major cities is just abysmal, there is very little regard for quality control - parts of India in the north are basically covered in toxic fogs for a decent part of the year. Add to that an increasing adoption of plastics, recipes involving frying oil in high temperature and western style take out meals, even the wealthy Indians are not leading as healthy of lifestyle as they might think.

Here is an anecdote - growing up we used to have local festivals in the temples where they would distribute meals in banana leaves almost exclusively in all the temples. Fast forward these have been replaced with single usage low grade plastics and cups which when served hot I honestly fear leech plastic into food. The number of cars in any metropolitan cities have exploded - older forms of transportation like rickshaws are almost gone (not that I am saying I condone the poor rickshawalas having to pull weights twice their own but just setting context). Traditional Indian meals involved less frying and using ghee, which has higher smoke temperature compared to soybean which is also very poor quality.
This post is all over the place, sounds more like armchair general then anything else.

> There are rules of war.

Rules of war? What? Russians are breaking Geneva Conventions everyday, target civilians fleeing 'the wrong way', usage of mines cluster bombs, terror hit-squads attacking civ and press. They stopped playing by the rules the moment they invaded sovereign country - even US uses plausible excuses before invading a country to have some credibility.

> If you are arming civilians with hand weapons, you are just killing them.

Yes if you send them out to a frontline. This is urban combat, partisan attacks and quick retreat. Its completely different reality to open field fights.

> No militia can resist regular army.

Tell that to the Afghan villagers, they only fought US and Russia and won both times.
> If the voters in 'anytown, USA' wanted a mixed use district - they would have it. Obviously it is not what most people want.

This assumes people participate in local politics. I would amend this to, "obviously most people don't want it enough to attend town halls and learn whose business interests is blocking progress"
I can't recall the source, IIRC it was EU research that looked at the lifetime carbon footprint of all energy sources. 'green' sources like wind and solar have a considerably lower footprint.

Which would make sense. At least in the UK, onshore and offshore wind are the cheapest sources going. Would suspect the amount of energy put into creating and maintaining them would mean that the LCOE is lower.
One part is generation, the other is consumption.

I did the math. I live in a European Country that wants to get rid of Russian Gas, and right quick. If every household would use the same amount of energy that we use (and used over the past years, 3 people, we average 2.4KWh per day - or the equivalent of a continuously burning 100W light bulb), we would not need 90TWh p.a. (the country produces around 490TWh p.a) - which would allow us to get rid of Gas for energy entirely easily.

This is war, but everywhere I look the lights are on and people only save if there's a price spike.

We live comfortably on low energy, we use modern appliances like a dish washer and $400 washing machine which has a good footprint (worked for over 8 years, only one cosmetic repair necessary). We have laptops, tablets, smartphones, router, I used to run a webserver 24/7 for a while too. There is nothing that we miss and our footprint is below average. It's not difficult, in fact, it's liberating.

I hope people start to wake up.

PS. I could go on how good it feels to live on a low profile. Lucky us, we never owned a car and require one only a few times a year, and we use a car share service for that. We care for our electronics and use smartphones and laptops for at least five years or more. I own two pairs of shoes and try to go shopping for clothing only once a year. We do not fly, unless absolutely necessary. We try to buy and eat local food, try to be low on meat consumption. And the list goes on and on and on. We are doing this for years and I could not be happier about it.
If you want to blame fish for ill health, you could do more than citing microplastics. Fish (especially in the oceans) tend to accumulate heavy metals like mercury. The risks from that are far higher than a tiny amount of microplastics.
I'm not sure how accurate the data from the reference photos is as colored walls are often intentionally painted in such a way that the edges at the corners remain lighter or even white to create a "sharper" corner and avoid clashes between differently colored surfaces. Often this can also be an artefact of the gap left between two sheets of wallpaper touching at the corners.
Legally mandating remote work and adding public transit options and raising the cost of daily useless commute would go a veeeeeery long way. Because the petrol not burned by driving can be used to replace the coal plants.

Russians shouldn't be there. They invaded independent country. Entire fault is on them. Period.

Trying to spin the fact that civilian population wants to defend their country and everything they have in life against Ukrainian government is honestly disgusting. It's hard to grasp like someone working in highly logical field such as software development could be so soaked with propaganda. Turn off the TV comrade.
It would be one thing if you were to have done that math to show "the risk of colon cancer is so high that this decision is worth it"--and to be clear: maybe it is!--but the idea that you simply don't find a 1% chance of a complication to be a big deal as the absolute number looks small to you (as opposed to making some relative comparison to the rate of preventable cancer) horrifies me... and, for your sake, I hope you aren't that careless continually with all of the other decisions you make in your life (any number of which might also have a 1% chance of going badly for you). 1 in 500 is absolutely a very very large number.
It also irks me that GW is used as a "capacity" figure, meaning "production capacity" or rate of discharge, when a battery's capacity is actually its stored energy (measured in GWh).

Here are more details:
https://www.eia.gov/analysis/studies/electricity/batterystor...

Looks like in 2019 they added about 400 MWh and they provide 150 MW.

In the "Full report" PDF, I see they are overwhelmingly (93%) Li-ion, which would be about 3.7V, so the capacity translates to ~108MAh and the current to ~40.5MA, giving you a C-use average of 0.375.

Edit: I just realized I could have skipped conversion to amps, since the voltage simplifies in the fraction.

I find it strange that Li-Ion is used, given that lead-acid can be much cheaper. Perhaps lead is not so environmentally friendly?
That's the point of immigration? "My life sucks here, but I can get what I want there." Treating economic freedom as an "untaxed externality" to be rectified will eventually create economic immobility and stagnation. That has perverse incentives of its own.
