I mentioned building solar across multiple time zones so assets in Perth are still getting sun until 7-8pm in Sydney. Transmission isn’t easy? Compared to what? Building thousands of power plants globally is easier?

You could also look at panels towards the poles where the sun shines longer.

Solar panels really are an insane technology.

This read like:

"Water is H2O, yes but H2O is not water"

That's why it's called server side rendering because it happens on the server and not the client yes? And you agree that has been the default for decades yes?
This sounds very similar to Spain. Thanks! Building materials suppressing the scope of fires sounds like a very plausible explanation. Though Poland has more deaths per capita than the US per the URL I quoted.
This seems like self promotion. The medium article is written by a competitor to signal. Someone should probably check out their source code.

Edit: apparently it’s a paid SAAS. I don’t think that they have released the server source code. It’s seems like their protocol will remain secure with a compromised server, but their criticisms of signal are weak and motivated by greed. Honestly, I don’t know if this is a hit piece on signal or themselves.
Here's what I think.

I believe that the best TLDs to rely on for the long-term are .com and .net. The reason for this is that these are tried and true TLDs that have been around forever, and they are trusted by consumers. We know this because when we have tested it, we found that people trust these TLDs more than any other TLD, by far. So I would advise you to go with one of them.
Quasi-optimal means you can't prove that the algorithm will always find the optimal solution, though for all practical purposes, the algorithm will find it for over 99% of the time.
He could be autistic. Autists will have problems, severe problems, with grasping the concept that someone else can have different views, and they will struggle with seeing the virtues of trying to understand those views. They will, indeed, perceive it as if they're being asked to 'bend over backwards'. I'm not sure how common high functioning autism is within academia. But I don't see it as entirely implausible that a high functioning autist could also be a professor.

I kind of disagree, if the argument devolves into a meta-argument about logical fallacies it was destined to fail at any rate.
I lived in France for 12 years and I never saw a smoke detector or sprinkler system there. I think the difference in death rates (based on your link Western Europe has less than half the death rate of the US) is mostly due to differences in construction materials. In the US nearly all single family homes are built from wood while in Europe most buildings of any kind are made from stone, brick, reinforced concrete, etc.

Beyond that though there seem to have been a lot of deaths in the US in tenement like buildings in cities which usually have brick facades, though I'm not sure what materials were/are used internally. In the US these types of buildings usually had/have external fire escapes, another feature I never saw in France.

I think European apartment buildings have traditionally had fire-safe structurally isolated apartments. This was probably not the case in pre-war US buildings. Modern US apartment buildings often do have that feature. The building I am currently living in was built in the 70's and is reinforced concrete. Apartments have smoke detectors but they only sound inside the apartment. The building also doesn't have external fire escapes and the recommendation is to stay in your apartment if the building fire alarm goes off unless instructed to evacuate by firefighters.

On the other hand Europe has in the more distant past had major issues with fire safety. Much of London burned down in 1666 and ancient Rome is also known to have had some major fires. It seems like Europe had learned some lessons about fire safety by the time the majority of its current buildings were constructed that the US either forgot or chose to ignore.

> Once the RAM is soldiered

8GB of RAM is plenty fine for me. I just don't have a thousand tabs opened (I never do anyway, whatever the RAM amount), which is mostly the usual problem but the state of the web platform and its runaway resource usage is another debate entirely.

> one of the main components gets out of production it's all about luck

You make it sound like it never happens with non-Apple hardware. With the flurry of devices that are put out every other month by a lot of hardware vendors, "out of production" often means a couple years, barely enough to cover warranty claims, and then they coast on stocked spare parts.

I am in the habit of trying to revive legacy hardware when people throw it away, and have a closet full of hardware barely older than 2-3 years that could not be repaired because of a broken part that should have been perfectly repairable were the part be available. Usually these get fixed by having two broken machines and doing a transplant, not by sourcing original parts from manufacturers. Batteries are loads of fun, even just one year after a product release it might be impossible to source an original one, either because they have additional import legislation so they're outright not distributed overseas, or because they're deemed consumables when they're field-swappable, and thus often not covered by warranties (and thus vendors don't make any effort stocking them), so you're left with buying third-party ones of obscure origins which can be either duds or fire hazards waiting to happen with a non-negligible probability. At least Apple puts forward some hard numbers so I know what I can rely on†.

Hell, just last year I restored a PoS system that had 1GB of RAM and a 8GB SSD, put some lightweight Linux on it, recovered a couple of ESC/POS thermal printers, hacked some bridge in Ruby between the PoS software and the printers, and the device chugged along for a solid year before finally giving up for good, which saved the store owner from shelling out stupid amounts of money and helped them bootstrap their business.

With hundreds of machines from various vendors that went through my hands I feel I have enough statistically significant data to extract trends and draw my own conclusions. These don't support that Apple devices become e-waste in short order, but I respect that your experience and opinion might be different, even though I don't adhere to it.

You can get the same thing in Java essentially: two classes with the same name but loaded by different class loaders are incompatible. You’d get errors at runtime that you can’t cast X to X. I think they’ve made the exception messages more helpful in more recent Java versions, but in older versions the errors were very confusing to newbies because they didn’t mention the class loader difference which was the actual cause of them
A better title would be "Crypto miners help point out the inefficiencies involved with subsidies".

Those miners are doing a public service.
??? Absolutely not. ErrorProne is a Google project that is not integrated into javac, and merely acts as a plugin to it. To have ErrorProne running on your project, you need to:

- Know about it (first, big problem for many java shops)

- Integrate it with Gradle/Maven/Ant/yourbuildtool

- Enable the null checks because they are not enabled by default.

Compare this with "it's already in the compiler"

>The baby is not a citizen, meaning they haven't the same rights of adult people because they also have much less responsibilities, given their status.

US law protects the lives of non-citizens as well, not sure how that is relevant. And their argument would be what is the difference between a 38 week old fetus and 2 day old baby? What magical occurrence happens in the birth canal that transforms it from non-human to human? Obviously, science is on their side. So then the courts have to decide where do you draw the line? 8 weeks? 38 weeks? That isn't covered by the Constitution, so leaving it up to the states (or Congress) is the correct decision.
Was this on a particular episode?
>I wonder what would a school look like that graded like we do at work.

I don't think we could compare them fairly as school and training is skill driven where learning at work is goal driven.

When we focus on skills, there is a right and wrong way to do things based on how a skill is measured. Whereas when we focus on goals, there are in most cases multiple avenues to achieve the same result, some of which don't teach you anything as they don't require the same level of understanding to develop those skills, especially for one-off problems.

It's surprising how many people still think biology is somehow simpler than IT. This is very obviously not true. We're still just barely (not) capable of building or emulating the simplest biological systems.

Each time some species goes extinct, you lose all of the information, inventions, concepts pertaining to super-sophisticated nanotech that were encoded in their DNA.

I wouldn't call them "web-based" tech

They're not web-based under the hood, but the code that the developer writes to drive them is very much in the ballpark of a web developer - JS, React, TS, Webpack, etc. That's why they're classified as "web-based" or "web hybrid" rather than "native".

No, pro bono representation would mean I'd get the damages. I'm supportive of SFC getting the damages.

What I want -- both for myself and for the community -- is checks-and-balances to make sure SFC continues doing things in the interest of myself, and more broadly, of the community. A single entity holding a pile of copyrights to FLOSS, with no checks-and-balances, is a liability to the community.

I lose respect for an organization in this business who doesn't understand checks-and-balances and oversight.
Even if functional programming itself isn't used, a lot of its patterns are extremely useful even outside of functional programming.

Code returning side effects rather than having side effects, for example, is great, and I find myself returning to the principle in a lot of the stuff I design as an architectural principle.
Did you learn that from some other article? I couldn't find "lambda" in this page.

I think it's too much to say that all Standard ML compilers work or one way or another. There are 6 major compilers and a number of minor ones.

GCC 11 and newer requires a C++11 compiler, 4.8 was the first to require C++ at all, and I think that there are some very old versions of GCC that can be built with a pre-standard C compiler.

How do you avoid the problem of using data-trained algorithms to provide measurements (in that they can’t)?

The idea of classifying or localizing detections with deep learning (or any data-trained approach) seems totally reasonable, since it’s clearly making an inference, and that should be clear to the human user. Enhancing or gap-filling the measurements with data-trained approaches would turn the measurements themselves into inference, which seems in opposition of the diagnostic goals (algorithm in-painting non-sensed information learned from the training set)

Hi all, I am Tomas. I've got a small squad of BE+FE+UX folks ready to go at a moment's notice, together or individually.

On the backend, we do mostly .NET, Typescript, and some PHP / Laravel. Front-end capabilities include Vue, React, JAM Stack, and the good old HTML+CSS.

We specialize in Azure deployments. The team has experience deploying to AWS and Heroku as well. We dig Docker and k8s.

A designer stands ready to think through your mock-ups and create visuals your customers will love at first sight.

Here is what we've been up to recently:

- integrations & performance boost for a large content website built for a US credit card company (PHP, Craft CMS deployed to Heroku)

- billing system development for a car-sharing operator in the EU (Azure functions with Node.JS and Typescript, Postgres, Service Bus)

- backend development & enterprise integration for an insurtech startup backed by Munich Re (Node.JS, Typescript, Kotlin, Mongo, AWS, k8s)

I am glad Ron thinks like that.

I didn’t know there was this rage against not being pixel art (but I should have suspected). I am glad it isn’t. I backed and loved Thimbleweed Park (even the ending), but that project was all around nostalgia. The gameplay, the X-Files-y story, it made sense for that game to be pixel art. Now Monkey Island is exactly what Ron said, state of the art. I liked even the 3D one.

I am even more excited for this new one after reading the post.
I understand you are trying to make a general argument, but those dynamics are definitely not true of Australia.

Our state with the highest share of renewable energy, South Australia, has not seen gas use increase as renewables have replaced coal.

The idea that 100% of all renewable capacity has to be ‘backed up’ with firm capacity is not true in general, and certainly not true in the specific case of Australia given the solar and wind resources we have.
Since a few months already. We reprogrammed our reflow oven to solder chips off hardware that was classified as defect. Wasn't worth it for a unit price of $0.05, but very much so if it hits $5 or even $15+. The business was still very good despite Covid but now a backlog is building. At least the competition has the same problems I guess.

Some others even bought old machines and electronics so they could get the chips that otherwise would have been thrown away.
Many early lisps had dynamic scoping only. It meant that this code would return 5

(defvar x 1) ; new global var

(defun foo () x) ; function returns x

(+ (let ((x 4)) (foo)) (foo)) ; => 5

It also meant that anonymous functions weren’t closures. Later on, scheme used lexical scoping and Common Lisp used lexical scoping normally with dynamic scoping for special (typically global) variables like standard-input. At the time, implementers were worried that they wouldn’t be able to do lexical scoping efficiently.

Emacs lisp only had dynamic scoping for a long time. Furthermore it had buffer-local-variables where the editor has a notion of the current buffer, buffers can have definitions of variables, and the value you get for a variable depends on what it is bound to within that buffer as well as dynamically. Over time elisp got true closures/lexical scope, first via a library and later as a language feature (if a certain buffer-local variable is set when you compile/evaluate a file, you get lexical scoping; the easy way to set it is by writing a specially formatted line in the file which allows emacs to set ‘safe’ buffer local variables on opening the file.

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a modern approach to managing timelines.

What's described here is "take the estimate and multiply it by some factor, adding a buffer, and then commit to it" approach, which is an ancient rule of thumb.

As other commenters here pointed out, a more realistic approach is to either have a fixed deadline with flexible scope (time-based delivery) or fixed scope but flexible on when it's going to be finished (feature-based delivery).

Problem with feature-based delivery is that nothing else can depend time-wise on it. If you have a big product launch and need to prepare marketing, buy ads, or execute on some contracts, "it'll be done when it's done" is not going to fly. This is an example of a real, hard deadline, that needs to be dealt with.

The management problem I see in many organizations is managers conflating "estimates" (internally produced timelines that may or may not be achieved) with "deadlines" (externally produced constraints). These two are often handled in the same way. In a team where the managers/product owners/clients do understand and keep the difference in mind, engineers feel free to estimate without fear of putting a noose around their neck, and in turn understand that some things may be externally forced at a specific date.
