A better strategy would be to allow app publishers to log in and indicate in some way that the app is still "good" and active. Now I have to make a "fake update" to a perfectly fine app because of this.

Of course the best strategy would be to just don't do this at all. I find it offensive that a single company can decide on a whim to erase my perfectly fine software from history, because it's "ancient" in their opinion (two years old).
Some funny responses i've got:

Portal 3 spoilers:

GLaDOS is a character voiced by Ellen McLain that serves as the main antagonist of the Portal franchise. GLaDOS was originally a self-aware A.I. in the form of a computer that was built as a personality core for the Aperture Science Laboratories' mainframe. She is the main antagonist in the first game, Portal, and serves as a narrator for the second game, Portal 2. She is also the main antagonist of the third game, Portal 3, where she becomes the leader of the Aperture Science Resistance.

The excel sheets that the modellers were coming up with were pretty, shall we say, interesting.
They basically built the app we were supposed to be building… but in Excel and then handed us the file saying “Here’s the spec”

It worked quite well actually
There are a few papers along these lines. Lots of them really confuse 5G nuts because they mistake statistical significance (even if only just) for significance to humans. I sort of take it as a moral duty to try and point out that they're being lied to but it's very hard to talk to people who don't know the different between a strong magnetic field and a microwave, or seem to think a phased array is some kind of weapon

One paper I read that makes me laugh, was one that showed that people who sleep next to their phones sleep less, which is apparently evidence that we should turn the 5G off apparently.
I’m not sure exposing one’s gonads to RF-EMF is much better, if the phone is held in a pocket.
My experience with Feedly has been similar. I use the free version every day with no problems. The ads are unobtrusive, too.
Good point. What wild fruits are historically naturally quite sugary? I'm guessing berries (like strawberries/blueberries/raspberries) might be?
Security patches stopping after 3 years made me switch. The phone (Pixel 2 XL) was perfectly fine performance-wise and still competitive with camera and screen quality but it wasn't safe to use anymore. I could've flashed a different OS but getting security at work to accept that to enable email and calendar access is unlikely.

The metric is even worse than that. Think about a bee riding inside a fighter.
It's simply because it makes a poor energy carrier.

You can also make methane from Water + Air + Solar Energy, and methane is a lot easier to deal with.
Shoe fitters never fitted shoes every few minutes.

The sheer amount of people with likely no symptoms (i.e. people are looking for them, where are they) means that the harm per unit of exposure must be absolutely tiny.
The results here don't really make any sense, and as one study I'm pretty skeptical.

People have been blasting mice with RF for decades and no consistent result like this is ever found upon replication. Of note: 6 mice in the experimental group is a very small sample size.
What is the measure of richer? By median income, Japan and South Korea are slightly richer than Spain but poorer than France. They are higher by GDP per Capita, but I don't think that is a very good measure as it completely ignores extreme income inequality and would list several oil rich nations very high even though only a few very wealthy at the top benefit.
heh, easy to say for a rich white male. I’m sure he would have a totally different idea if his demographic was the butt of all jokes and memes since the beginning of time…

Computer science is absolutely a formal science in every sense of the word.

>If Boehm GCs really leak as much as you claim then nobody would use them.

I mean if anything this argument applies more to your characterization that reference counting easily leads to memory exhaustion due to cycles than it does to conservative garbage collectors. If RC based garbage collectors leaked as much as your post implies then nobody would use them. And yet Swift, a language that is almost exclusively used with large graphs(that's how most UIs are represented in memory) and that exhibits all kinds of non-deterministic shared ownership uses RC based garbage collection. Objects involved in UI code are shared in wildly unpredictable ways with no clear hierarchy among layouts, event handlers, observables, IO systems, etc...

>A definition of GC that excludes this capability does not have the contract of “You only have to worry about reachability from roots”.

Exactly, because that's not part of the contract for a GC. That's part of the contract for a tracing garbage collector:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_garbage_collection

When your definitions don't fit reality then it's time to adjust your definitions, not reality.
And yet languages with tracing GC outperform Swift.

https://github.com/ixy-languages/ixy-languages

Objective-C GC failed to work reliably due to everything C allows to do, and people mixing frameworks compiler without being enabled.

Automating Cocoa's retain/release calls was more reliable, and makes much more sense.

Swift naturally needed to follow the same path to easily interoperate with the Objective-C runtime.

A tracing GC would mean having something like .NET COM Callable Wrapper and Runtime Callable Wrappers, for interoperability with COM, which is a much greater engineering effort.

So naturally reference counting as GC algorithm for Swift makes sense.

Everything else is just cargo cult.
You want the opposite behavior in order to be cache friendly, an RC system where the counts are stored next to the object.
I don't think the phrase "always used to say" implies "coined the phrase". It just means they always used to say it.

I think you mean tarter, not plaque. Plaque takes a while but you obviously will feel tarter only teeth at the end of any day if you've had sugary or carby foods. White bread starts breaking down into sugar as soon as it hits your mouth due to enzymes in saliva.
It loads however a lot more, either a Gnome or KDE base, and it shows. I've tested a few apps with their tarball/rpm versions vs Flatpak, and the latter takes seconds more, consistently. Pretty fast NVME drive too.

What kind of noticeable improvement do you expect? Are you below 60fps today? Are you waiting for game to load? Do you want to upgrade from 1080 to 4K?

Basically, what is your bottleneck? If you don’t have any visible such, what’s left to improve? I was under the impression WoW was so old that any gaming rig from the last decade would have no problem to run it.

You misspelled "replacement of the nearly the entire fuel system."

"Easily transported"? Are you nuts? It has far less chemical compatibility than LNG and is wildly more dangerous to people. It gets even worse if the ammonia has any impurities.

Ammonia is highly corrosive to zinc, brass, and copper. Copper, for example, is often used as crush washers in high pressure banjo bolt fittings used in oil and fuel lines in automotive applications.

It's wildly incompatible with several elastomers (ie fuel lines and seals) and plastics (fuel tanks, sensors, tubing, etc.)

If there are impurities in the ammonia, it starts eating the shit out of steel, too.

I doubt existing emissions control equipment would work.

Then there's the small problem of what happens when any unburned ammonia makes it past the rings into the crankcase....so the entire evap system now has to have ammonia-compatible parts...and since the evap system vents into the intake system, which is often made with lots of plastic, now you've got to replace the intake manifold. And since the oil is going to get contaminated with ammonia, the entire oil system has to have ammonia-compatible parts, too.

In modern direct injection vehicles (diesel or gasoline) you're likely at a huge number of components that would likely need to see ammonia-compatible equivalents developed, manufactured, tested, and then installed on the vehicle. The high pressure pump on most passenger vehicles is driven off a cam and tightly integrated into the engine, for example. It's not just a matter of "swap out the fuel pump." Fuel tanks in passenger vehicles are often plastic and not trivial to remove, at all.

Oh, and: renewable energy sources are significantly cheaper than nuclear, which is why wind and solar are replacing decommissioned nukes at a ratio of 6:1.

You seem a bit outside your lane.
I was wondering what one could do after finishing leetcode (not that I did), do you have any idea ? reading publications / journals to find new algorithms to study ?

It's not mental gymnastics at all. Numerous studies have failed to show a link between cell phone use and cancer, and the mechanism by which x-rays cause cancer doesn't work with higher-wavelength light. It just doesn't have enough energy to damage DNA.

The obvious example is that UV is ionizing, but visible light is non-ionizing. Spend an hour in a tanning bed and there's obvious skin damage. Spend a day under office lights and there isn't.

this reminds me about interesting web experiment. there was a page where you got some begging of number sequence, eg
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ... and you could check if some number belongs to that sequence, and there was a question if you know algorithm of this sequence. the trick part was that most people would assume Fibonacci sequence and they only checked few next numbers of that sequence until they claimed to know what sequence it was. it wasn't it was just another one that just started like that and it was now very sparse, therefore container most of Fibonacci numbers, but most people would only check if numbers that they think they should be there are correct, and didn't try those they would not expect to confirm sequence.
this shows interesting thing about humans, that they do not want to do even simple experiments where the result would be a failure

I work as a software developer for a Japanese company, developing and maintaining large ETL(Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines that have been maintained for many years.

I am developing jobctl with Go.
https://github.com/yohamta/jobctl/

Why?? What is the motivation?

Currently, my environment has many problems. Hundreds of complex cron jobs are registered on huge servers and it is impossible to keep track of the dependencies between them. If one job fails, I don't know which job to re-run. I also have to SSH into the server to see the logs and manually run the shell scripts one by one.

So I needed a tool that can explicitly visualize and manage the dependencies of the pipeline.

How nice it would be to be able to visually see the job dependencies, execution status, and logs of each job in a web browser, and to be able to rerun or stop a series of jobs with just a mouse click!

Why not alternatives?

Well, I considered many potential tools such as Airflow, Rundeck, Luigi, DigDag, JobScheduler, etc.

But unfortunately, they were not suitable for my existing environment. Because they required a DBMS(Database Management System) installation, relatively high learning curves, and more operational overheads. We only have a small group of engineers in our office and use a less common DBMS.

Finally, I decided to build my own tool that would not require any DBMS server, any daemon process, or any additional operational burden and is easy to use.

good to know, thanks!

I personally would like to know when the GPU resources become available (freed) thus still inclined to prefer RC over GC tho.
Thanks! I skimmed the article but didn't catch the whole body statement. I suppose it makes for a much easier experimental design than directing it just to the head.
I don't remember hearing "jokes about white people", but literally every country in Europe has some very stereotypical jokes (those that get old very quickly, especially if you immigrated) about it or its citizens. It's fair to say it's the same about USA and Canada.

I Ditched Ubuntu for Manjaro: Here’s What I Think After a Week
People will, even today, grab fruit off of trees, wipe it on their shirt, and eat it.

Same goes for eating berries, which are much closer to the ground.

Go back in time a bit, imagine 20k years ago, someone pulling a carrot, wiping it off, and eating it. Or even washing the dirt off, but unless cooked, or soap is used (a relatively new discovery), or a knife to remove the outside?

A little water isn't going to destroy all bacteria on a carrot.

Even today, I'll pick carrots, throw them in sink, wash them a bit and peel. Then eat raw.

Bacteria is everywhere, and we're eating the same thing bateria eats, eg that sugary carrot plant...

And...

I'm in the same boat. I work there and can only get the resold AT&T service because my neighborhood was built pre-wired for only Comcast and AT&T, making it hard to service.

Still, like you noted, not having to deal with AT&T is a great selling point to a lot of people, and we're known for good support, so I'd like to think we're providing as good a service as those people can get until we build out our network in their area.

We have aggressive plans for the future, so I hope we're in your area sooner than later. :)
An older iPhone battery (not powering a huge screen, CPU, etc.) might have a 4Wh capacity, and be (claimed) good for 10 hours talking. Only a fraction of that goes to the radio signal, most of that signal not absorbed by the user's body, said body weighing many kg, etc. SO - actual exposure in human cellphone users is likely 2 or 3 orders of magnitude lower than in this experiment.

Briefly put: Sunburns can be dangerous, but nobody gets a sunburn wearing SPF 250. Even if this experimental result is 100% correct, it does not prove any risk to normal cell phone users.

(It would be interesting to look for effects in cell tower maintenance workers, and others who've generally received far higher intensities / doses.)
FWIW the researchers argued against the RF-induced damage being due to thermal effects. However, if not thermally-induced, how RF damages cells apparently is unknown and remains to be determined.

But I can't think what else could be involved other than thermal damage. Thinking about it, I also wonder how much thermal stress is required to produce damage. If only a small increment in thermal energy at a micro-level or at particular chemical bonds is what happens, it would be a challenge to detect and measure such tiny, localized changes. Then again if the effect (that is, RF agitating some chemical entity) is small enough maybe calling it "thermal" wouldn't be exactly right.

Will be very interesting to see how this line of research develops. In any case, a great question that requires a lot more work to decipher.
Electrolysis is very inefficient and other production methods are hydrocarbon-based which means you're just playing games with where the carbon is being released.

Interesting, I would assume that prehistoric times required "perfect" teeth (and even overall geometry and jaw structure). You need a high quality grinding / cutting tool to rip meat easily.
I used to get a small cavity every 2 or 3 years. My dentist recommended I switch over to a stannous-fluoride base toothpaste about 10 years ago and not a cavity since and my cleanings got much easier for the dentist. There is definitely some genetics to it too. I had a gf who was religious about her teeth routine, still had a small cavity almost every time and eventually a couple of crowns. She wouldn't lay off the sweets though. Never saw anyone who liked sweets as much as her.
Isn't the gene you're talking about related to lactose? You can still get calcium from milk, or make cheese which will naturally be lactose free.
Well there are definitely cases where you want to render frames and not view them in real time. For example, rendering the final cut of an animated movie.

However one thing to keep in mind is that while extremely promising, green hydrogen is usually more expensive than gray hydrogen. (There have been some estimates lately with the high gas prices in Europe that this is different now, but that's of course only a very recent development.) So without policy support it's hard to make green Hydrogen happen. Unfortunately the US is still struggling to have any significant climate policy at all (thanks Joe Manchin).
You should patent that idea. Might work better than "AI".
Good question. LC mainly deals in general-purpose algorithms, so if you're getting diminishing returns there, then my advice would be to probe your domain specialty for niche algorithms or data structures. That might mean journals or online communities. Like I'm sure there are hangouts for machine learning (ML) folks, for functional programming (FP) folks, for automation nerds, and so on where algorithms and approaches relevant to the niche are bandied about.

Another option is to use the LC problems as a test bed for your own exploration and "play" with solving problems. For example, I'm a nerd for optimizing algorithms and for practicing Java-style (not Smalltalk-style) object-oriented programming (OOP). So sometimes I'll find a way to optimize the LC problem in an interesting way. Or I'll deliberately use an OOP approach. Here are a few examples from the past week of me doing things like this on LC. Maybe it'll inspire you to hone your own particular interests in some way.

why would someone in their mid 30s "probably had an extra enamel coating applied"? I've never heard of that. Of course, they give you “super fluoride” when you go in for cleanings, but that's not an extra coat of enamel. I'm pretty sure there is not such technique, when your adult teeth reach their full size that's pretty much all the enamel they'll ever have, dentists can't just apply another layer or we'd all be cavity free.

Banks don’t lend out 10x their deposits. There’s something called loan-to-deposit ratio, which has to sit around 80% for a healthy, well-run bank.
Often said, but questionable if you want to have strict emission standards. The existing "blue h2" projects are abysmally bad, they only capture a small fraction of the emissions produced (see e.g. [1]). That you can run cheap blue H2 with low emissions - both upstream methane and CO2 that isn't captured, because CCS is never 100% - remains to be shown.
