Tried as you suggested. All I found was propaganda, and one YouTube video that talked about NATO violating Russian airspace. It looked more like the marketing video you send to an Arab Sheikh or African dictator when trying to sell Russian arms.

I really wish I could run church in a notebook as I need a bit more space to experiment in order to solve the problems in probmod.

You got me curious about cancer rates by country: https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/global-cancer-data-by-cou...

They list 50 countries, and relevant to your post:

- Belgium #4 with 329.9/100K

- Italy #24 with 290.6/100K

Not a huge difference tbh. Regarding the comments about vitamin D, Sweden is lower than Italy. So I think the correct conclusion is: These things are complicated.
Is this related to DHH's blogpost about Railsconf?
I wonder if Canada would follow suit.

Those are correct. But if you have to go back to the 60's and the core of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, I am going to think in the last 20 years there are not many events...

The fact is that Abkhazians haven't been fans of the idea of being part of Georgia, even before they were forcibly incorporated into Georgia by the Soviets, and the ethnic strife started before the collapse of the SU, and before the armed conflict (and Russian military assistance) has started. In Spain's Catalonia separatist sentiment can be gauged properly, but does that help with an actual realization of that sentiment? Not much. And that's a highly developed European country, from which Georgia is still very far institutionally, and was even farther in the 90ies.
San Franscisco is definitely unsafe now. Before, I was able to walk dog on the ocean beach in morning and everything was was fine. Yes there always homeless people. Now I’m getting harassed by scary looking 100% drugged out young homeless all the time.

Or take example of sunset: in last 20 there were no home invasions in our block: last two years we had two.

Or Walgreens in Richmond: we were always taking a walk thru the park and we would ended up in that Walgreens to pick up random things. But in last two years that Walgreens is like a war zone. I think the latest robbery was on the internet.

So these are anecdotal evidence. And this is why I feel it is unsafe. Stats will not change this feeling.
People seem to hate it when you point things out like this. Had a guy in another thread become livid when I said I don't eat modern foods. You pretty much can't trust any nutritional study, and so as far as I'm concerned, eating like an antemodern hunter gatherer is as good as anything else.

West likes Japan enough to overlook that she has maritime disputes with everyone of her neighbours, including EEZ drama. Which is pretty incredible for 1) and island nation and b) a loser of WW2 that should have territory prescribed through treaty. Including Kurils which USSR annexed and "should" be entitled to as war spoils being a WW2 winner but US/USSR geopolitics got in the way. Also west now: would be good idea Japan remilitarizes despite all these disputes.

India can probably be extremely polluted in the cities but I wonder if it's the same in the country side.

And fair enough, african countries might have undetected cancers and have people die of other disease before getting old enough for cancers. But I was comparing Umbria to Belgian Flanders which are both 1st world countries.
what would be great is if we stopped amplifying misleading messaging from some of the biggest polluters on the planet - oil companies, shipping companies and agriculture. Personal responsibility is great but it's a drop in the proverbial bucket compared to what just one of these industries could do if they so wanted.

Shipping, for example, has great potential to reduce emissions yet most large companies do everything in their power to pass minimum standards in territorial waters and then it's a free for all on international waters.
Note that this is not official words from Kremlin. Russia and even Soviet Union always tried to play a role of a trusted partner that would fulfill contracts no matter what. Using threat of cutting gas supplies can be used only once.

Not sure what do you mean with that. The article is about the general theoretical properties of (unbounded) queues.

LMAX is a bounded queue, with the quirk that it will drop older messages in favour of newer ones and it assumes that either there is a side channel for recovery or consumer(s) can tolerate message drops.

There’s also lots of talent in neighboring Belarus, where Google indirectly has a presence through their acquisition of Fitbit (or had, not sure if their office is open anymore after the recent events in there). Sort of glad though that they didn’t decide to expand their small office they have here in Bucharest (also through the Fitbit acquisition), the local real estate market was getting quite heated regardless so extra gentrification brought by behemoths like Google extending their presence wouldn’t have helped.

This is the same in NYC which is also having a supposed shoplifting spree. People "feel" very unsafe because the crime situation has gotten marginally worse than it has been the past few years. Having lived here since the 90s when the situation was much, much worse by any measurable statistic, everyone was calm back then because they knew what to expect. Now expectations are higher. In reality the danger remains quite low. We lost more people to covid in the last two years than 100 years of homicides. Yet we elected a mayor who promised to be tough on crime and soft on Covid.

In an acquisition of this size, it’s not typical to interview. HTC engineers did not have to interview AFAIK and having been at Fitbit I can say for sure that no engineers had to interview.

Interviewing happens with startups. When there aren’t interviews the assumption is that Perf will take care of non-performers.
Stance, breathing, eye contact, movement... I used to stand prostrate, sweating and watching my shoes as soon as I was in front of an audience - a theater class turned me into a microphone addict, at ease even improvised. And it is fun !

There seems to be a marked increase in unreported incidents, at least where I live. I don't trust any armchair statistical analysis of this, particularly when the author clearly has an agenda and a narrative.
I was in the theater group in school - and learned a lot about myself there. I broke down crying when playing the Andri in Andorra as it was maybe too near to my personal experience being bullied, being the outsider, being seen for something one is not. Being harassed because people just assume.

I also did my first presentation (voluntary) in 7th grade on the solar wind (we could chose our topics like "our pet", "my favorite book"). And I did theater group while studying at university as well.

I learned to manage my nervousness.

But the most important part I learned from theater and presenting from an early age on was that to be really good, to be able to make it look easy, make it look natural, make the audience feel what I feel - to be able to do that, that was hard work.
Preparation. Knowing your lines. Working, working, working and also constantly asking for and receiving feedback and adapting. While not loosing your personal take on it out of sight. Not making it generic - staying true to yourself and laying something personal into it.

Imho you can only confidently improvise and regularly perform well, if the basics just flow. If you don't need to think about, what comes next. If you can confidently get into that flow.

To me - this is what theater taught me: Work hard to make it look easy.
This not only applies to public speaking but to a lot of things in life imho.

Sadly the ability to show lyrics on musical files isn't as "standardized" as on video files. The MKV container is great for that, with the ability to add subtitle files as additional data streams, and most players are able to handle it. I wish the FLAC format would actually decide on an actual tagging standard for synced and unsynced lyrics data.

It's probably because the use of lyrics file is too much of a niche compared to video subs.

I think in times of distress/startup such charismatic leaders were often chosen to lead. Basically he WANTS to lead while others just lead because they rise up. He has stronger will than the others. Modern people are rarely trained for this kind of things, and leadership is probably not trained in classes, but born and through childhood experience.
One issue in this calculation is that you'd need to increase the amount of electricity generated to replace heating and other work done by fossil fuels.
From Saul Griffith's book Electrify, "Electrifying everything will require three to four times as much electricity." [0].

As an app developer, you don’t get to choose what the user is willing to enable. For instance, there are only three use cases on my phone that can make it vibrate day to day.

Often, a cute interface idea can break a user out of their usual notification habits, which could be pretty important for something like catching a bus!
> the siberia tests by the US and USSR were probably much bigger than anything a ballistic missile could carry today

I doubt this very, very much.

Also to note: those were single blasts (as opposed to the dozens that would now cover any given region), some were underwater, none of them interacted with amounts of structures and living matter comparable to a populated city.
It's still their home. You're applying your outsider judgement and not considering how the actual people involved might feel. A lot of those refugees are leaving for safety while someone stays behind to fight for a place they can return to.

"It does not suggest any simple conclusion as to what is causing the increase."

Nor did I. Environmental and lifestyle factors are a huge domain covering vastly complex interconnected systems, many of which we know almost nothing about. We're just now starting to look at epigenetic effects now. How many substances are we exposed to that can cause issues in the next generation when a large number of things we're exposed to have only been tested for short or medium term exposure, or simply not tested at all.

Although, anecdotally, it feels like the bulk of changes out side of tobacco is focused on cure research and not as much on preventing environmental factors. Perhaps that's mostly that cures make for good news and restrictions on using certain products or chemicals are viewed as draconian (especially with things widely loved or used like alcohol).
I don’t know what’s going on and, at this point, I don’t really want to.

In the past I mostly used Rails for quick proof of concept apps and also for teaching younger kids about web development at one point.

Rails itself has been fine, but there’s something about the community and atmosphere around it that is always steeped in unnecessary drama. This was especially problematic when I was introducing younger people to web dev and their first exposure was full of Twitter drama and the DHH controversy of the month. By now, I’m just so tired of it that I want nothing to do with Rails. It’s unfortunate.

I have no doubt that these individuals who resigned did great things and will be extremely valuable wherever they end up. I also don’t doubt that they had valid reasons to resign. I hope they find a better place to operate.

This blog spent a bunch of time trying to answer that question, and specifically to figure out which environmental factors might be causing the effect. They looked at lithium, PFAS, antibiotic contamination and a few other candidates.

It's a shame that the article does not match its title, I am curious about the Caribbean tech scene. I'd love an article that actually discuss some startups/projects that they are doing.

The piece as-is seems to be pretty much all about Maria, and her work around women-in-tech, which is an important topic for sure but not really an overview of the tech scene.
Lens flares in games were always stupid, because they imply that you're looking at the scene through a camera, which breaks the immersion. I mean, they might as well also have a boom mike occasionally pop in from the top of the screen while they're at it.

You kinda can:

selector {
//property: value;
}

This sets the property named "//property" to "value". Close enough. (Expressed otherwise: it’s approximately a comment until the next semicolon, barring quoted strings and parentheses.)

//selector {
property: value;
}

This is an invalid selector, and so the entire rule is ignored. (Expressed otherwise: it’s approximately a comment until the next opening curly brace’s matching closing curly brace.)
Or, they actually support the invasion, which is valid as well. I may not agree, but I think everyone can express support for any position. The only position that is invalid is censorship/suppression/thought control, because it cuts off communication.
Chrome feels a little faster to me, but I stick with Firefox because it doesn’t give me the same creepy big brother feeling as chrome and I can spare a few milliseconds per page load.

Come to think of it, I primarily use chrome to double check UI changes on a page served from my local computer. That’s probably the main reason it feels faster.
>it was a resource hog

Well, it had the ability to be one if a shade tree programmer didn't garbage collect their assets. Something that could easily be tested in an app platform. You could make amazing games that used only a few megs of RAM, or you could make a crappy app that hogs hundreds.
While I don't disagree with the need to make commercial and industrial industries more efficient, I don't think ignoring residential/consumer choices is a good move.

Industrial and commercial energy usage accounted for about 50,000 trillion BTU of energy consumption in the US in 2019. Residential used about 21,000 trillion BTU in the same time. [0] Definitely not insignificant in any way.

However! Transportation used about 28,670 trillion BTU that year. Somewhere around 50-55% [1] of that is from people driving around. I include that in residential/individual choice even if a lot of it is for commuting, because a massive amount of that number is driven by vehicle choice (people have switched to gas guzzling SUVs and trucks in droves as fuel efficiency has crept up, negating efficiency increases), housing type/density and location, etc.

This puts residential/individual energy usage at ~35,000 trillion BTU and commercial/industrial at 71,000. So individual usage is a full _third_ of total energy consumption.

That's massive, and a huge amount of that could easily be cut out if we stop subsidizing people driving trucks, SUVs, etc 45+ minutes each way to work so they can live in some mediocre suburb.

We could also not listen to a minority of NIMBYs and throw out the awful zoning laws that have swept the US over the last 50+ years to make it legal to build more traditional styles of homes and apartments to reduce sprawl and reduce infrastructure costs massively.

Industry still needs to be made far more efficient, but individuals are still a huge factor in energy usage. Other parts of the world have different energy numbers, but a lot of first world countries look fairly similar to what I just laid out.
