Biologically its a fantastic Super Oxide Dismutase, but if it gets into a mammalian system without being bound in Metallothionein, you'll end up with Parkinson's like symptoms.

Its possibly one of the reasons why some sea born mammals (whales) live for so long, considering its transported in much the same way as Iron.

I sometimes think the Victorians with their sea bathing were onto a thing or two because for humans, their greatest environmental exposure to Manganese is bathing in the sea, the concentration of Manganese is highest in coastal regions, despite the fact you can find the Manganese nodules out to sea on the sea bed. Cant help but notice that Uranium can also be found in similar sized nodules in certain geographical environments.

In terms of damage, this perhaps should be tackled like Oyster farming, so its a perfect case for using specialist drone equipment to do the harvesting, you cant deep sea dive farm these nodules.

You only need to look at the specifications: https://www.omg.org/spec/UML to realize that it is very heavy weight. The tools that implement it beyond mere pretty drawings take a lot of effort to learn and come with Enterprise grade prices.

For large projects it quickly becomes very difficult to effectively manage models. Once you use the round-trip-engineering features of some tools, you either improve the code or the diagrams, but there never is enough time to do both well.

As a communications medium it is an extremely specialized jargon. Outsiders, generally, require lots of hand-holding to gain even basic comprehension of what is documented.

Based on the foregoing, UML never was and probably never will be cool, or even particularly useful. Ok, some subsets of UML are effective in larger, complex projects, e.g. modern fly-by-wire avionics.

sorry - I put this "have different (full time) employment contracts" in my comment to try and make that point clear..

Its full-time employment, salaried. Also, salaried generally means you get paid the same amount regardless of hours worked, which is another thing people seem to overlook.

Anyway, as others have already commented better then I - many big/well known companies do not have issue with moonlighting.
I'm amazed at how many algorithms that do something generally related to time/frequency transforms there are.

What are these more exotic things used for? I imagine some kind of DSP?
This logic makes no sence whatsoever.

So of we had to increase production of moss, would that be a prohlem? No, because it has no impact - we just never needed to produce it in quantity. Same goes for lithium.

The only thong that matters is the absolute ecological impact per kilo produced.
It does, which is famously why certain newspapers are/were loathe to use the word "lie" in connection with certain politicians. They knew certain utterances were untrue, but they had no evidence of intent. Without intent it's not a lie; it's just wrong.
He's not paying for that, he's paying to reach more people with his stock manipulations while silencing his critics.
I think having a system which is not insecure by design is better, it doesnt matter then if some poor code makes it into a system, it will be contained be default before it can do any damage.
> You could show them the numbers, tell them that the packs are highly recyclable and thus we're only pulling the ore out of the earth once and then get to re-use it numerous times...versus fossil fuels where they're useful once.

Unfortunately, at the moment only 5% of lithium batteries are recycled (=their materials used to make new batteries) at all, given that unlike for normal alkaline or lead-acid batteries it's extremely hard to do (as lithium is highly reactive) and there hasn't been much "source material" available so the usual economies of scale could not kick in yet. (ETA: Batteries are still way better than fossil fuels as they can be recharged hundreds to thousands of times!)

In any case, the idea of a"secondary use" market of lithium-based batteries is ... questionable to me. Lithium batteries are already enough of a fire risk when they are brand new - I would never dare to put a battery that has been under enormous physical and chemical stress from automotive usage into my home, no matter how much of its original capacity it still holds.

PostgreSQL 14 B-Tree Index: Reduced Bloat with Bottom-Up Deletion
Reduction in index size due to bottom deletion is a huge plus in PostgreSQL version 14. Btree indexes have a mechanism where plain index scans set the LP_DEAD flag. This is not set for bitmap index scans though. Once this is set, the space can be reclaimed without the need of vacuum. However, that’s a completely different class of dead tuples. In the long run, this bottom-up deletion strategy helps in significantly reducing a specific class of duplicates. It not only reduces the load on vacuum but also helps keep indexes healthier leading to faster access speeds. So if you have a high update workload, there will definitely be savings in resource utilization and costs while giving better performance.

This is one of the best resources for starting with Go! It’s very practical and teaches a lot of important concepts in an easy to understand way. Cannot recommend this enough! If you read the book and learned something new consider sponsoring the author as a ‘thank you’!
It might seem like bullshit for any short-term storage (sub 5 year), but I’ll provide an anecdatum of letters literally unsticking from laser printed paper and instead adhering to the plastic bin they were stored in for 7 years.
I don't see it as an improvement, because they are taking what Modula-2 already offered in 1978 in terms of systems programing safety.

I guess not having to type keywords in caps (because who uses IDE/smart editors) and having a C like syntax is the selling point.
That's really more of a philosophical question, and arguably not a particularly interesting one - ex nihilo nihil fit (nothing comes from nothing), after all:

Either there's 'eternal' nothingness - an option which we have excluded empirically - or something always must have existed. We're trying to work out the nature of that something, and the meaning of 'always' (did time begin at the big bang, making the question of 'before' as meaningless as the question of what's north of the north pole; is our universe just the lastest stage in a possibly eternal cycle; does the singularity hide a mirror universe with an arrow of time pointing in the opposite direction; ...).
Again pardon my amateur source of the discussion - I learned this from A PBS space time video where it was contended that a fast traveling pbh with asteroid level mass wouldn’t actually slow down and just pass through most things like planets. But not neutron stars. Also I suppose stellar cores? No idea.
Mysterious why you get downvoted so much.

Musk has spent the last days talking to other big shareholders as is widely reported in mainstream news. It's not some far fetched conspiracy theory.

Yes, technically it is correct that this combined shareholder pressure does not oblige the board to comply, but for sure this adds a ton of pressure. Even more so given the malperformance of Twitter as a company.

Add to that the weakness of the board which has zero founders, and none owning any meaningful amount of shares themselves.
Yeah but how is it different from people that got burnt by any random new tech they bought without understanding it, like a smart dishwasher that bricked itself because of a failed update, or folks huying bitcoin at the peak
> So of we had to increase production of moss, would that be a prohlem?

By 900%? Sure.

> No, because it has no impact

You don't see the impact because it's too small for now. It will become obvious when you scale up by orders of magnitude.

Cars were seen as the solution to pollution in cities once.
If we cant explore and map our sea's, do we have a hope in exploring space in any great way?

At least the crushing sea pressure could be likened to crushing forces on a space ship in a black hole.
> In fact I'd say that academics these days never have time for writing and that most other successful authors I know are independent.

That’s a weird thing to say, academic careers revolve around writing. On the other hand, their output isn’t in book form nor aimed at more general audiences. They do author some books sometimes, but maybe more like textbooks. There is a lot of “write what will sell” thought that goes into being a successful author, academics are less immune to that (they still have to do research that will sell to funding agencies and write papers that they can “sell” to peer reviewers).

I was asked to write book (for commercial selling) awhile ago and during exploration found the process a bit off putting (ultimately decided I didn’t really have anything to contribute). I began to look at a lot of books on the shelve in the programming section in a very different mode cynical light afterwards, a lot of books were equivalent to clickbait (timely on hot topics, but of very low quality and not contributing much to the field). There are still gems, but a reader has to be very discerning these days and not buy on title alone.

I enjoy academic papers more, but even in a highly rated conference proceedings, you have to watch out for academic clickbait.
Yeah I know. But I find stored SQL to be a lot more concise than the application language, and less prone to bugs. I also find that it creates a much better separation of concerns between stuff that touches the database versus non-database stuff.

Just one example, error behaviour is well defined in PLPGSQL so I don’t have to constantly check for errors. That’s not true in my host language.

I am super impressed with SQLite, it’s just not a good fit for how I use databases yet.
>If anything is wrong, court should be the one who decides that, not a random twitter employee.

Which court? Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia?

This is good for repressive regimes, as their critics can no longer express themselves on Twitter without revealing their identity.

You have to consider who the collected data is available to. CCTV in public spaces is usually the domain of law enforcement and thus the related data is available to law enforcement and potentially other government agencies, but not normally to private companies. A smart billboard and related data would be owned by a private company who may go on and process and sell it behind your back. It's complex.

Computing and related tech is an enabler of so many new possible applications. It has become really tough to develop something useful for consumers that can be commercially successful, but doesn't at least have the potential to be turned into something creepy.
There are many, but I'm not aware of any I would want to use.

Having never used any commercial ones since I was a kid in the early 2000s, LibreOffice seems pretty much perfect to me, although I wish they would add a cross platform notes solution like Obsidian(Nobody in FOSS has one I like as much as the proprietary options, so maybe they could figure it out!

Most LibreOffice alternatives seem to focus on being lightweight, but... we've got SSDs now, and they usually compromise a lot on UI.

Some of the other ones do seem to be catching up though, and might be worth taking another look at.

Yeah. Balance is important. I worked on a few teams where I really liked the people, but ultimately we were building a stupid product that existed only because some exec thought it would be a good idea, rather than because any users actually wanted it. (In one case, we were literally told "we have X huge website which we sell $$$ of advertising on - we want another site just like that, so go off and build one"!) Ultimately, the cognitive dissonance of building something we knew was pointless, but where nobody was willing to actually say it, felt utterly soul-destroying.

Now I'm working at a place where I really like the people, and I really like what we're building. The balance feels like it's much closer to the right place now.
they were deleted because the point was to create a new reality regardless of the truth and they were politicized causing people to do the wrong things - become anti vaccination, protest masks and cause more harm and death - all on something that didn’t really matter because the facts don’t change on the reality of an unconfirmed source in which case it’s evident this is exactly your MO too.
Wow, of those five I'd only call 3) not evil, maybe 1). (based on the video, where the twisted reasons for them are explained.)
The behavior of a business should dictate the technology and architecture.

It’s very possible to start with products in mind and handcuff or cripple your modeling. You’ll often see architects constrain models based on acceptable technology, like only using SQL Server or always using RESTful apis. REST has nothing to do with business behavior. Using POST and GET exclusively and ubiquitous language exposes a more maintainable system.

If you’re forced to only use one kind of data store, just make sure you keep your boundaries clean.
This is why you should never use url shorteners for publicly addressable content. Using url shorteners contributes to ‘link rot’ and after the domain expires or the service reaches its end of life the link is broken and cannot be resolved anymore.

imo, it’s fine for linking to ephemeral content such as submission forms or anything that will not make sense after a certain time. Do not use it for articles and other content, because it will make the resource inaccessible after the service is no longer operational.
Thank you very much for your videos!
it’s not chronological until you disable retweets and adverts - i use a plug-in to ensure this - makes it much better.

What would much cooler is if you had a drawing and you could convert that to a 3d Model.

For gamedev you often have a drawing of a Character made up which then gets scuplted, retopo, texture ...etc. This is very time consuming especially for characters that are in the background. If you could create a bunch of characters from drawings that would make large crowd scenes much easier to create.

Barber shops can have reliable clientele who come back once a month, high demand because everyone needs them, and a viable business model if the rent is not high - labor is $20 an hour, 3 clients an hour get $60 revenue, the difference can pay for rent and operating cost. $10k-$20k revenue per month is not too hard to do.
(Of course that doesn't pay rents in super prime locations, so the cuts in Manhattan cost $50 instead of $20, but the principle is the same.)
Hah, good point, seems like this class suffers from documentation erosion. It got expanded and expanded and expanded and the essential piece of information got somehow lost down there in the gory details. The actual usage info and code snippet is in the base class documentation [1], it's just that it's no longer linked as prominently as it should be. I'll fix that.

It's not this bad everywhere tho, docs of fresher APIs didn't have a chance to erode yet: https://doc.magnum.graphics/magnum/classMagnum_1_1Trade_1_1S...

"Inspiration to dangerous action" doesn't sound like a good criterion. Are there terms that apply only after an account is believed to reach a sufficient amount of people? In any sufficiently large amount of people, you'll find at least one lunatic. All things considered, the events on January 6th weren't any more violent than many protests for various political causes that unfolded in the years prior. Heated rhetoric on Twitter did play a part in that, would you apply the same standard in those cases?
> For managers, the who is the why.

For managers, the "who" matters only as a factor determining the velocity and success of delivering the "why".

To put it differently, no matter how well the "who" is going, if the manager cannot deliver the "why" then he will be an ex-manager. Not so much the other way around.

Sorting and grepping in PowerShell are an every-day trivial thing.

I even use it to as data analytics tool to query moderate amount of data because its just simpler then using anything else (given that ConvertFromTo-XML,Json,Csv etc. are integrated, standard, and don't require bunch of other tools like jq, miler etc.) and I can send it to anybody along with the data to reproduce it or tweak it without having to install anything or learn any new language.

> At least, the examples are always about system objects and properties

Not sure where you get that idea from. Third party examples are not important at all. Majority of usage has nothing to do with the system and its properties.

Not sure why you mentioned that particular method of invoking WSL stuff. If anything, it shows how powerful PowerShell is.
I don't know why everyone loves XPS so much. I got one to use for dev and it just sucks.

Why I say that, you ask?

1: Advertised as "space age cooling" is just a dinky heat pipe: this laptop has HUGE cooling issues, super loud fan, impossible to share screen during meetings without everyone hearing your portable jet engine. I mitigated this by placing some good thermal strips to connect the heat pipes to the aluminium back of the laptop, this dropped it a few degrees and the back only gets slightly warm, not hot. Why couldn't Dell have done this? I'm still tempted to repaste the thing as well.

2: Dell's usual early 2000s corporate BS. The fan is loud. But you can't control it. Well you can, but you have to use Dell's crappy Power software which gives you three different settings for it. No speedfan, no manual fan control etc as it's all locked down.

3: Variants with 4k screens from about 2019 (idk about other years) with integrated graphics just _cannot_ drive the 4k panel properly in terms of performance.

4: The cooling sucks

5: The battery sucks pretty bad, you might get a couple hours out of it at most (esp on Windows).

6: The cooling sucks

Granted, they provide drivers for linux/support it etc which is great, and the machine itself (at least the one I got XPS 9380) is pretty powerful - it just can't cool itself well enough to get the performance unless you're fine sitting in front of the world's loudest white noise generator. Only thing is I paid £1650 for it late 2019...now they're available for like £399 secondhand. No wonder, they've probably all cooked themselves.

As long as the research is well designed, performed free from the influence of those who would sacrifice the truth for their own personal gain, is carefully reviewed before being published, is published and made available to the public regardless of the results, and those results are later verified by multiple independent researchers. how could it be anything but valuable!
