Like many articles on the same topic, this is very scant on the ecological consequence of burning things. Because things go “puff” and you can’t seem them doesn’t mean the problem is gone. That’s why ICE car drivers think what they do is fine. If you’d ask them how big is the cloud of toxic pollutants that they emit, they’d struggle to imagine even the scale (it’s a basic estimation based on two numbers that are in front of them at all times).

This sentence is alarming and should lead to a lot more investigation than what the article gives them:

> “Our recent report found high levels of persistent organic pollutants like dioxins or furans around waste incinerators in three countries.”

Because dioxin is nowhere near as innocuous as CO2: that’s what Russia used to disfigure the former President of Ukraine, Victor Yushchenko. I feel like “Oh, yeah, we are releasing a lot of arsenic in the air” wouldn’t be dismissed as casually.
I feel like I’ve read that book before but can’t recall what it was.
Pretty sure house prices are at all time highs also?
Here's the discussion from reddit. It appears as though the developer is loudly promising PIII emulation but has a history of not delivering.

I would guess this article is an effort to distance themselves from this dev if people google it

Umm... A symbol this long is very surprising and interesting. How is this editorializing? It's also a real quote from the linked post.
I simply refuse to press "I accept" as a matter of principle. If the website doesn't have a relatively easy way to refuse all (anything that takes me more than, say, 3-4 clicks), I'll just close it.
I am someone who almost never clicks 'Agree'.

There seems to be a pattern that 'Agree' grants access to use tracking cookies and other metric collection. So, I usually either not consent and see what happens, or I 'customize' and for most sites that leaves 'essential' cookies enabled.

Why? Because I don't want to be harassed with targeted ads everywhere I go.
I think Rust avoids this issue because it limits you to a single mutable reference. So even if each thread constructed its own payee and payer, their underlying balances would still reference the same shared state so only one thread at a time would be allowed a mutable reference to payee and payer balances.

Not with heavy baggage.
Completely agree, every website I visit now has an annoying cookie overlay, which requires interaction from the user. Just let me read the damn article! I don't care if you track a single visit to this website which I will never come back to.

I can protect my privacy myself if I want to, the EU is not helping at all because there are just dark patterns everywhere to make not accepting cookies difficult or inconvenient.
Yeah this one is not quite as good as the other "does not exist" sites. A lot of the ones I've seen have a quite realistic looking bench, but with a very obviously not-real backdrop. Strange smears and artifacts are a dead giveaway.

There was a time when I celebrated stuff like this, but now it's the exact opposite.
Comcast Business requires customers to use a gateway provided by Comcast to support static IP addresses. I was thrilled to finally get IPv6 support, but it seemed impossible to prevent Comcast from inserting their own nameserver in IPv6 leases, which broke my network. I tried running my own dhcpdv6 and radvd servers to no avail. This took me way out of my comfort zone and much deeper into the weeds of IPv6 than I ever expected to go. I finally disabled IPv6 (and I can't even tell you how I did it) to get things working properly again. Maybe I don't have the required skillset to implement IPv6 properly, but I really got the feeling that Comcast introduces unnecessary obstacles for business customers with slightly advanced needs in order to serve the lowest common denominator (aside from my special requirements, IPv6 mostly worked out of the box, which is probably their goal).
Why on earth would you go from spark to hive?
This wouldn't keep me from checking it out IF it ran on Linux (they say it likely will eventually) and IF it was significantly better than the competition (vscode+rust-analyzer or intellij+rust plugin). The challenge proprietary software has at this point in certain categories like editors/IDEs is that the free stuff is quite good, so it will have to be MUCH better to succeed. Possible, but hard.
I know. But what happens when someone inherits code that has a lot of this in it? They read a line, get to a throw, and then... how do they find all the catches that might apply?

Using that pattern is like a guarantee that your code will be spaghetti and meatballs.

This concept is so fundamental that it's even the topic of possibly the most famous CS article ever written[1], and I'd even argue that throw/catch is the worst-possible version of goto.

In the uk we already pay bt tax money to keep our network up to date ipv6 should be included in that.

Most people want ipv6 so they can get more ips / static ips, but from a legislation perspective its more about future proofing and staying relevant.
You are right but they are linked. The proportion of people who don't take a mortgage as a fraction of buyers isn't that high I think? (myth of the all-cash foreign buyer)

Yep. The hardest part of a k8s cluster at home is ingress and storage. Previously I was using metallb and port forwarding, which worked ok, but not very reliably for various reasons. A cloudflare tunnel sidecar completely solved the ingress issues.

The reference seems to be missing.

Is that supposed to be oil industry? If not, I not sure I understand.

What I'm trying to understand is if this pipeline is for additional capacity or if it is meant to replace the trucks and rail? I'm trying to understand a bit of the environmental impact. If the choice is pipeline vs no pipeline then it seems clear from an environmental perspective. But if the choice is pipeline vs truck/rail than there might be some factors in play that I'm not currently aware of.
Congrats on another successful year. I love the project.

As a side question. Is there a list of other projects like this? I mean simple and to the point services for development?
Hopefully, this will cause a lot of institutional investors to sell their homes and cause a decline in housing prices.

In house analytics and third party analytics are the same for the law. It’s all about user tracking.
At the application level, it's happening right now all over social media sites. The risk is too great that our delicate minds, unable to separate fact from fiction, will ingest something deviating from the approved narrative.

This is a misunderstanding of the situation.

Providers made those banners big, annoying, and full of dark patterns because they want you to agree to those cookies. They didn't have to have a bunch of check boxes right next to an "Accept All" button--this was a conscious choice by those providers. You are being targeted by malicious compliance so you dislike the thing that they want gone. This is a sucker's game, and you are falling for the okeydoke.

"Europe" didn't make the Web worse. People who won't stop tracking you because it is worth nanocents to them to do so did, and this is how they're fighting people who are trying to stop them.
Because I suspect it is legally binding and that it can be used in court.

I'm not sure, but I think that companies can legally protect themselves if they have records of people clicking accept.

They can still delete the data of people who don't click. Simple as that.

It is a dark pattern, I think, especially when there is no refuse button.
>As a manager, if I share details about my personal life it encourages others on the team to do the same.

It works if you are a good manager and the sharing happens naturally. The manager I referred to would always share details of his personal life that were really bragging, which of course created a horrible environment for sharing.

A good manager would share and then see which employees want to share back and which did not. They would shape future discussions accordingly.

As an employee, I've had some managers who like to talk about their personal life and others who do not. As an employee I've never started my 1:1s by sharing my personal life every single time and expecting my manager to do the same when it's clear they don't want to talk about it. But due to power dynamics, bad managers can do that sort of thing and be oblivious to how uncomfortable their employees feel about it.
you can build a great business in any industry. VCs think this is limited to a handful of industries which they happen to think are hot. because of that thinking many good deals are lost.

> How does that happen

Basically all my files from 2011 and older are lost. My files from 2008-2011 were on a laptop which my parents threw away when it was broken, my files from 2003-2008 were on 3 computers which were also thrown away by my parents.

There was no ubiquitous cloud storage back then so most is gone, for basically no real reason.
In the USA, next step is widespread intimidation at the physical polling stations.
I think it clashes with all sort of election rules, like the candidates must have had the same air time during the campaign (can’t guarantee that every day of the campaign), also there is a cool down period 24h before the vote where the campaigns are suspended, you can’t publish polls or discuss the candidates programs in the media. I am not sure why you would blame it on nefarious motives.
Why bigger things don't always fall faster
Well, that's good news to me because I have no interest in doing any of that, with two caveats:

- On type checking, I like type hints and gradual typing, but am not big on strict static typing.

- I'd like to do A/B testing, but only for fun and for learning/applying data analysis.
If the price is set in rubles, yes. But if it’s dynamic you buy the rubles you need and 10 minutes later they could be worth half of what you paid.

"just stop buying people until you need them. They're the expensive bit."

If only they could be bought that easy right when you'd need them. At least in a corporation, the HR will tell you "50 engineers? That's going to take X monts, judging from the hiring rate we had so far."
What I don't understand is why a food blog run by someone in Kansas has cookie consent popups. You're not in Europe. Large multinational corporations I can understand. But it seems like most websites have these popups now even though most hosting and most content generation occurs somewhere other than the EU.
This will not be true in certain select markets. It will be high home price and high rate in those places whether you like it or not.
It sounds like the mortgage situation is quite sane in Canada compared to the US. Over US history, mortgage periods continued to bleed upwards.
I would guess that unless some other team replicates this result, it's probably a measurement error somewhere. Physics can be very delicate and tricky, and it's easy to make mistakes. But, even the mistakes are opportunities for learning, so it's not a waste.
According to Eurostat Sweden has one of the highest disposal rates of waste in Europe

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

Can someone explain why how that fits together?

Edit: seems to really depend on what kind of waste you are looking at. Sweden's landfill rate for waste excluding major mineral waste is still 8%:
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/t2020_rt110/d...

the 1% target is reached only for waste collected by the municipality:

You are correct about CMA-ES.
I think that's true too. Home prices should work like bonds.

However it will likely keep going and then crash more than fizzle.

As long as the interest rate is below the rate of inflation, you'll make money by borrowing money and trading that money for something pegged to inflation, like a house.

This will work in the short term, and so I think people will keep buying.
Housing affordability is obviously multifactorial and mortgage rate is one of those factors.

An AlexNet/ResNet-type moment may be in the cards for GAs, but I wouldn't put any money on it. They're typically only one better than brute-force. This can be good enough (and is certainly easy to implement), but if you can get a gradient for your problem -- you should use that. And nowadays, you can typically get a gradient!

Most recent advances in the fields you mentioned were driven by gradient-based optimization (e.g., drug design, routing, or chip design: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03544-w).

Nature can't SGD through genomes but has a metric ton of time, so evolution might be near-ideal for sexual reproduction. We typically don't have billions of generations, trillions of instantiations, and complex environments to play with when optimizing functions... It's telling that the fastest-evolving biological system (our brain!) certainly doesn't employ large-scale GA; if anything, it probably approximates gradients via funky distributed rules.

EDIT: The most modern application I can think of was some stuff from OpenAI (https://openai.com/blog/evolution-strategies/). But the point here is one of computational feasibility -- if they could backprop through the same workload, they would.
> Very few people believe the droplet theory now

Again, absolute nonsense.

World Health Organisation:

"Current evidence suggests that the virus spreads mainly between people who are in close contact with each other, for example at a conversational distance. The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe."[0]

> People were locked in their cabins, yet, the virus still spread through the ship without difficulty.

No one is disputing that the virus spreads through aerosol distribution. The majority of spread is through salivary droplets. Is your argument seriously that because there is some aerosol spread, that somehow disproves the model that spread is mainly through salivary droplets?

If you are unable to understand the argument I don't see how we can continue the conversation.

popularity is expensive. people want quality, and generally arent happy to sacrifice it. but the diminishing returns hits way harder and faster for the common person than a hobbyist typically wants to accept.

popularity is also skewed young. income is skewed old. VHS was a much better fit as a lowest common denominator. If a product is trying to be a popular medium, cheap is necessary.

That said, once the medium is established - people will still happily pay a lot for a high quality product within the medium. iPhone popularity is a good example of this. People bought expensive VHS players with bells and whistles too.
> My point is that Russians forces in Ukraine aren't protected as POW, and thus they are subject to criminal prosecution

They carry arms openly, and have a uniform as part of a country's armed forces. They have military ID cards which identify them, they work for superior officers, and they conduct operations.

You might want to revisit the actual text of the different versions of the Geneva Conventions, because your inaccurate text begs correction.

Here is a copy-paste from The International Red Cross

> (1) Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict, as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed forces.

> (2) Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, belonging to a Party to the conflict and operating in or outside their own territory, even if this territory is occupied, provided that such militias or volunteer corps, including such organized resistance movements, fulfil the following conditions:

> (a) that of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;

> (b) that of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;

> (c) that of carrying arms openly;

> (d) that of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.

> (3) Members of regular armed forces who profess allegiance to a Government or an authority not recognized by the Detaining Power.

> (4) Persons who accompany the armed forces without actually being members thereof, such as civil members of military aircraft crews, war correspondents, supply contractors, members of labour units or of services responsible for the welfare of the armed forces, provided that they have received authorization from the armed forces which they accompany.

> (5) Members of crews, including masters, pilots and apprentices, of the merchant marine and the crews of civil aircraft of the Parties to the conflict, who do not benefit by more favourable treatment under any other provisions in international law.

> (6) Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy, spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units, provided they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war.

As someone with some familiarization with the Law of War, I'd say both Ukrainian combatants in the AFU, and the Russian Forces and their allies in the Russian Army, and DPR, and LPR, are all armed forces that are party to a conflict and deserving of protection.

You always want to err on the side of granting protections, for legal protection, and also, to prevent you yourself from committing war crimes, becoming a war criminal...
Agree on ISPF being a great editor. It was trivial for new users to pick up, but at the same time had a rich feature set.

My favorite part was its support for folds, or what it called "excluded" lines. You could issue an initial command that excluded lines you wanted to ignore, and then issue subsequent commands to operate on lines not excluded, or "NX". Very nice. I occasionally wish I had ISPF while I'm in the middle of a Vim session.

Perhaps there’s a difference between a country that hasn’t implemented mail-in voting yet, and a country that has had it, people using it, and now has efforts to take it away.

Also, before dismissing the racism concerns around voter ID laws, it would be instructive to look at why this is so. The history of the US is steeped in race, and the concerns cannot be dismissed without understanding history.

Given that you can completely block cookies and other tracking in the browser, why on earth did they bother? I despise bureaucrats writing laws when they don't understand technology.
its also worth noting that evicting this common knowledge from our collective sysadmin brains doesn't just leave our brains unoccupied. Now we can worry about a new class of things. Making meat available at the grocery didn't mean suddenly our lack of hunting knowledge left a void of stupidity -- we learned new things to fill that time and energy we used to spend on common things.

cppreference.com hosts references for both the C and C++ languages. My quote is from the C language part of the site.

Furthermore, we are not discussing operations on an invalid pointer value. We are talking about the addition operator operating with a pointer value and when its behaviour is defined.

Lastly, it is your reference here that is to a C++ language draft, not the C language.

HD DVD was released with the xbox 360 by Microsoft earlier than Sony's PS3, so that value proposition goes both ways. HD DVD was cheaper too. The number of consoles sold isn't that different (Sony sold ca. 15% more over the entire lifetime of the console).

"This law should fail because people who want this law to fail are complying maliciously" is one of the more out-there readings of reality I have seen in some time.

Perhaps, rather than shrugging one's shoulders and saying "well, to hell with you, I've got mine," there are other things we as a functioning society can do. Like standardize how these cookie prompts must be displayed (small, inobtrusive) and standardize a set of accepted behaviors when the user ignores or closes it (reject all non-required).
While I agree with your comment, and while this is probably a bit pedantic, I'd argue that gutsy implies there being a risk. Sure, with Nintendo the risk is not something like bankruptcy, but then again the word 'risk' doesn't just mean "a game that risks the company's future".
