>It's amazing to hear the chief of ECB make a statement so obviously and fundamentally wrong.

Oh you sweet summer child. Remember when Olaf Scholz said, while he was minister of finance, that the best way to invest is to keep your money in your checking account? Yeah, those are EU politicians and their financial wisdom for you.

I'm surprised the EU is still functioning and hasn't yet collapsed with such morons at the helm.
I am in the same boat, but i still pledged to get myself one with all the things. A nice replacement/addition to some of my older hosts.
Sorry for necroposting.
You have fast transfers in Germany, but it is new, an extra box to tick, normal online banking is horrible UX and you have to know the IBAN of the account. Giving someone my email is way easier.
I get it from many things. Even this japanese ad for beer:

There was a research project that sent some liquid to some chip and the gates could get chemical energy from it. Then the liquid is circulated back and "recharged" and sent to the chip again. So in theory a chip could be liquid powered. The same liquid could also do cooling at the same time.

Electricity by wire is of course much more convenient to use but I still wonder could there be a use cases for this.

Unfortunately it's hard to find it again.

If that is indeed the mechanism, the 'same way as HIV' covers all that.
This. It's better to gradually introduce them instead of fully abstaining. They'll need them at some point, as our society is becoming increasingly reliant on it, and when you suddently let them do whatever without moderation, the same problems will occur.
I believe the term you are looking for is Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) [0].

I agree they are unrelated to cryptocurrencies.

I once stayed in an AirBNB in Crete where the lower floors of the building were occupied and the upper floors hadn't been built. If you carried on up the stairs past our apartment, you ended up at what looked like an building site with concrete floors and exposed steel beams. I didn't see any building work happening while I was there.
Because SEO firms would LOVE to go though marking all real sites as spam. They are _much_ more motivated then end users so the vast bulk of report will be false.
If you're going to restrict flags, restrict all flags.

Otherwise all you're doing is saying "this neighbourhood only allows support for these politics".

Are you sure you want to go that way?
Bitcoin is worth something exactly because of people like Lagarde. It is our insurance against them.
Or at least allow the user to flag such links to be added in his own, individual corpus of unwanted spam. They do the exact same thing with email already, so why not extend it to web pages.

And, yes, allow the user to permanently filter out domains from their search results.

They are worth their estate+their productive assets in a perfect world with perfect information.

But in the real world, they are worth all that plus their brand, and that's the price of bitcoins. I don't think eth/monero are worth much, but it's still orders of magnitude more useful than btc.

I can live with that. I think it is one of the biggest proof of our species stupidity, bias and limitations.
Google know a lot about a logged in user - especially ones that have had an account for a long time. They could lean on that.
Also, internal inflation is well into two-digit zone already, although there is some disagreement as to the exact number. And this inflation is being propped by the fact that many products are simply unavailable, e.g. car manufacturing collapsed.
That site is nothing but a ad-ridden, affiliate link stuffing, spam site with zero quality. A good search engine would not list useless garbage like that.
I'm assuming that under the hood it's a pre-pay debit card. An easy choice when they already have all the infrastructure for making payments using debit cards in their products.
> At worst, a fraction of the value of all the companies physical assets and IP, which is significant.

This is true. While the company is operating it is at least worth assets minus liabilities.

> you can examine the bytecode being generated by the JIT-process to verify whether this optimization happens.

And what do I do with that knowledge if it turns out the optimization didn't happen?
If I was a motivated SEO booster, I would just pay a room full of people somewhere in the world to "downvote" all of my competitors search engine results. The problem still exists. As long as there is an incentive to be gained from SEO spammers, they will find a way to influence search results. This transcends Google or DDG or any specific search engine susceptible to SEO abuse.

There's a great talk by Anil Dash that I like titled "The Web We Lost" that centers around on this topic - https://anildash.com/2012/12/13/the_web_we_lost/
It depends on the level of the engineer. The average engineer with a few years of experience probably can't afford a house on a single salary. A successful engineer with 15-20 years of experience often can, at least in Finland. As do recently tenured professors with a similar amount of experience.
> I'm not a fan of Bitcoin but this statement is nonsense.

Only if you read it as a statement of fact instead of as a policymaker giving hints on their view of the market.

key word: policy maker.

As in, they could enact policies which push the value towards 0.

Yes, limited to EU countries, and even there limited, but it is possible that banking restrictions make it effectively impossible to hold crypto in anything which resembles a bank account (including i.e. Coinbase) which would certainly put a damper on EU demand and would set precedent for other countries.
I'm guessing they're conflating memory safety with not having memory leaks. Of course, Rust doesn't prevent memory leaks either, although they might be less likely? I'm not sure how often Node.js codebases keep around memory allocations that aren't actually needed any more.
> Its a file, you open it, and boom you got a database.

Boom! What is the program to open (understand) it? Even my elixir's core lib cannot understand it.
For that maybe, for laptop chargers and batteries, cables, electronic components etc I've got better luck at that store. Keep in mind that they are not a general public storem you don't buy consumer electronics there, but for professionals. Technicians of all kinds go there to buy, so they are not just salespeople.

Their website is absolutely awful though: https://www.cetronic.es/
I can absolutely understand you. A lot of what is done in this area is unfortunately greenwashing and is meant to make you feel good. That's why open source is so important for "impact" measurements. Conclusions based on open satellite data and open source processing pipelines are very difficult to "greenwash". Let numbers based on empirical measurements and open models decide what is actually sustainable for the climate, rather than opaque marketing.
there is some strong business lessons here. printer manufacturer trashed their user experience all the way, from your first google search to the last hit with a baseball bat in the woods.
Anecdata: I have one severely depressed person in my family, and it is blatantly obvious that sun exposure has a positive effect on that person's depression. Does it cure the depression? No. But it makes living with it much better and removes blockages to working on the depression long-term.
I've always found these "make things easier for dyslexics" things to make reading far far harder than just picking an nice clear font and contrasty colour scheme. I know a few folk who find that sticking the text on a greeny-yellow background helps them massively and they have a setting on their PC that makes their monitor look knackered, like it's lost the blue gun ;-) But that does seem to make a difference.

I don't find wobbly hard-to-read fonts help at all.
Your message is just a collection of ad-hoc points with no structure, context or justification for any of them.
Scientific code in the Python ecosystem is horrible in general. Architecture astronauts, stack overflows from recursion, bloat, truncating int64 in casts to double, version incompatible mess due to the latest features at all costs. I have seen it all. They treat Python as if it were a sound language with the guarantees of Haskell.
You can buy one today… if you’re willing to settle for bare minimum RAM & disk.
Eth and monero are way better at that than btc, actually. Cryptocurrency pricing is based on brand.
That is an accurate criticism and I agree. “This list of laser printers contains only inkjet printers” is not.
So since we’re on the topic, what’s the go-to colour laser for occasional at-home printing?
Rust gives you freedom in designing a perfect long-running service, but if you are not doing it from scratch you will be relying on an async runtime like Tokio.

Go's flawed memory model nonwithstanding this use case is simple enough to be able to avoid or recover from races and leaks with less work.

When concurrency is important and you are not designing lock-free algorithms I would sooner go with Erlang or Elixir than Rust.

If you are designing concurrent algorithms with liveness guarantees you are in the TLA+, fighting the C11 memory model, unsafe Rust territory.
> No, because they have a demonstrable mechanism from pre-established science: UV radiation damages DNA, which causes cancer. Their product absorbs or scatters UV radiation.

As mentioned in article, but also some general knowledge in physics is that interaction of radiation with the matter is probabilistic. It is not like every quantum of UV radiation will always damage DNA, which always result in cancer. There's some "conversion funnel" that depends on a number of parameters, and the actual probability of cancer in the end could indeed be lower than probability of the negative consequences of low sun exposure. Even if physical mechanism of diseases is established, it does not mean we should always avoid the risk by disabling it by some expensive means. Sometimes it is low enough to accept it or mitigate (e.g. by efficient cancer treatment).
What ARM server market? There is at best one ARM server chip per hyperscaler and most have zero ARM server chips. Conventional ARM server efforts failed because the ARM server vendors don't want to talk to mortals, only a very limited set of customers of which most intend to design their own chips and obsolete them. The amount of companies that failed to make their ARM servers available to the public is astonishing.

Linus Torvalds said that ARM needs to be widespread on the desktop, because you need a critical mass of developers targeting ARM. ARM server vendors don't want that critical mass, they want special deals with a handful of big companies which is obviously doomed to fail.
The new table lamp Nivelight, with its iconic design inspired by transformation and minimalist geometry. Glossy white interior aids in refracting light and a small footprint allows for tight quarters. With this smart lighting solution, the Nivelight Lamp is not just a source of light, but a full-fledged device. Specifically, the lamps are fitted with a full complement of environmental sensors that automatically adapt and adjust the lighting to the needs of occupants in real-time.
More obvious issue than the patent (only has been granted in France, idk what this means for the rest of the world) is the trademark.
I want fingerprint and pattern on android. Nearly impossible, impossible practically.
I got a result for 'best laser printer' which was actually a retailer of laser printers. It was #8 but better than I expected.

I am far from being a Google fan boy - quite the opposite - but I can also be pragmatic and understand that this may be an unfixable problem.

The lesson here is that retailers of such products should be optimising for these kind of search terms. Of course there is going to be some bias but they will have at least some understanding of what they are talking about.

And, people using such terms also ought to expect a lot of SEO junk. I mean, when has anyone ever gotten a result that is anything other?

Seriously though, who is going to take the time and trouble to curate a list of the best laser printers who doesn't have a financial interest in doing so?
Really more like a staff car I think. Once you have an army big enough to make shouting from one end of the battle line to the other difficult, leaders will want to increase their mobility.
What if the FAA updates the code for the coordinates of the one and not the other. Then your abstraction is moot.

This is not only with printers, but with everything you search for, it makes me so sad! Everything is just full of SEO optimised nonsense. In the past it was so easy to search for something and actually find it. Now you only find crappy sites, full of ads, pop ups and brain-dead content optimised for SEO. It looks like Google has stepped away from reputation based scoring to a score that is too much focused on the textual content of sites. I hope this creates opportunities for new players in the market that are able to solve this and can outperform Google. That would be good for the internet.
SSDs are extremely complex internally.

They write in small blocks (eg, 4K), but can only erase in very large blocks (eg, 2M). Writing to an empty device is easy, but eventually you have to overwrite something, and you can't just replace a 4K block with another. You have to take a contiguous block of 2M, wipe the entire thing, rewrite whatever part of it was useful, then do the write you actually wanted to.

This effect is known as "write amplification", and it means that in bad cases you need to do many times more work than the host system requested.

Modern high end SSDs have various ways of dealing with this like a RAM cache, a SLC cache and extra reserved space to always have some spare room, but there are still limits.

This is what TRIM (confusingly also known as 'discard' in some contexts) is for -- the SSD operates in blocks and has no way to know that some chunk you've written to before is now useless to you because you deleted the file it belonged to, until you give it the command to overwrite that block. TRIM tells the drive "these parts can be recycled", and allows it to create empty blocks in advance. So make sure to TRIM once in a while.

Sadly TRIM wasn't well specified initially in regards to what performance characteristics it should have -- some old drives can get stuck on it for a while. So while many filesystems support emitting TRIM automatically, it can cause severe performance issues on some drives and the recommendation is to do it as a maintenance task on a timer instead.

TL;DR: Run `fstrim /mountpoint`. Wait a while before testing if it changed anything. The drive isn't obligated to do the work immediately.

It gets a bit more complex than that due to layers. LVM and dmcrypt can filter out TRIM requests. You can use `lsblk -D` to check the support status.

There's a difference between value today and expected value in the future. A loaf of bread has value today but I wouldn't stockpile fresh bread because I know it quickly loses value
Compiler Explorer is one of the few things that makes me want to work in a lower level language than Python.
Code style / formatting is a secondary thing. If someone made the effort of splitting it into well organized 3 pieces, and denoted those pieces somehow (by comments?), that also counts as an abstraction to me, even though it is not my preferred code style.
It’s Too Late to Protect Your Genetic Privacy. The Math Explaining Why
Obviously, all cavarly has several advantages over chariots, primarily much better ability to cover slightly uneven ground.

As for advantages of chariots, I think there are 2 to consider:
- As a platform for archers, chariots allow bigger bows and more ammunition, and even space for somebody to hold a shield in front of you. As steppe peoples (such as the Iranians) started to field real mounted archers, chariots became obsolete for this purpose, I suppose primarily due to the limited mobility over terrain.
- As shock cavalry, chariots had more mass and allowed the crew to be more heavily armored than the earliest forms of mounted cavalry. That would allow them to smash into ranks of their contemporary infantry in ways light cavalry could not. Still, they were relatively inefficient against well disciplined heavy infantry, such as Greek hoplites, macedonian phalanxes and Roman legions.

I suppose that may explain why chariots seemed to go out of fashion wherever Greek/Macedonian or Roman armies were precent.

Btw, various chariot-like "war wagons" reappeared at different times through history. Often with 4 wheels instead of 2, and more armor, these could carry several men, and in some cases, light artillery guns. That place would place them about halfway between a chariot and a tank, I suppose:

In my experience the quoted search does work. Google will report it can't find what I asked if there are no such pages with the exact quote:

No results found for "...".

Results for ... (without quotes):

It's just very cumbersome, the old +/- syntax was more usable.

Actually, I'd prefer if each word I write would just default to being a hard requirement. I could then manually allow more creative interpretation with a specific syntax, like ~word, or exclude specific words alltogether with -word.
I just tested your method of blowing air out of the window. Outside 18-19C, inside 22C. I also opened other windows.

Result: the longer I let the fan run, the hotter the inside got. I saw the thermometer rise from 22.1 to 22.4.
This is possible to fix but probably not by using Resize/MutationObservers (as the library does)
In Framer Motion we use React's layout effect to trigger the <motion.div layout /> animations (which are equivalent to this). The layout effect runs synchronously after DOM mutation and works cross-browser.

https://codesandbox.io/s/framer-motion-reorder-animation-bvi...

I don't trust the implementation of observers, usually in Safari, to reliably recreate this effect. I'm not sure it's even specced.
That's nice, I hope that means that they still stop taxing crypto!
How can you create “real money”?
Sorry if the title isn't properly formulated. Due to the recent abuse of the current monetary policy from the governments, and especially from the US, this question came up to my head.

When I refer to "real money" I mean money, the asset, that can be redeemed by itself, without any trust. For example, gold is real money. Cash is real money; even if there's a trust from the government since they're printing it, there's no trust when I hand out a dollar bill. Bitcoin is real money et cetera.

With this definition credit isn't real money. You can create credit out of thin air. Credit requires trust to work; the existence of the previous assets.

My question is: When a government wants to create money, does it have to print it? Since they are the only mint, what prevents them from pretending they have enough reserves (in cash) and increase their credit balance with zero risk?
I suppose the Testudo played a role similar to WW1 tanks. Not so much to WW2 and later armor, though, since armor depends more on mobility than actually being armored (despite the name), and Testudo formations are slow.

When I first opened the submitted link I thought bionic reading was about overlapping sentences. They should just remove this section and instead use the first pic that showcases what they're doing.
Interesting. In the UK we just need to share account number and sort code. These are quite easy to remember in your head. IBAN would complicate things. Is IBAN always required or only for cross-border transfers?

One should be vary careful about not conflating Crypto as a whole and Bitcoin. I agree with Taleb on the assessment of Bitcoins, but I think we need to wait a couple of years before we can assess the success of Crypto as a whole.
IANAL but it's probably not a licensed use of the patent.

That said, that a patent exists does not mean the patent holds up under scrutiny. Software patents in particular are often not worth the digital paper they were printed on.

THAT said, this doesn't mean patent holders won't litigate or at least request a takedown.
In the Netherlands a similar app is popular called https://www.tikkie.me. Commercial banks have also implemented their own solutions for generating payment links though. See https://www.ing.nl/particulier/digitaal-bankieren/mobiel-ban....

Payment links are easier and quicker to use than manually entering details in your banking app.
3 months to restore a business critical infrastructure, not impressive.
It would be like optical fiber cables. Unless you hire a highly specialized technician with the right hardware you are not going to crimp your own optic fibers. You just buy factory crimped cables of the right length.

In this case you would need to sell the whole kit already sealed by the factory to guarantee the absence of operator error. Perhaps the OEM could install the cooling system from the get go with high quality quick connect ports integrated into the case.

Don't forget to polarize the damn connectors so that you can't mix up the inlet and outlet ports.
US has plenty of pseudo-dictatorship allies. This just depends on which side they're on.
I think big-endian naming was useful for programming with editors that supported tab completion. At one point, the suggestions were only displayed alphabetically. Nowadays, editors use a more sophisticated algorithm (is there a name for it? Fuzzy search, perhaps?) that suggests words containing the sequence of characters already typed anywhere within it.
1. Such train may not exist.

As a child, I remember telnetting into an instance of blinkenlights to watch a fairly faithful ASCII rendition of Star Wars Episode IV. I never really looked into what sort of software blinkenlights was. Very interesting!

If I recall correctly, the command was:

I wonder if its still active.
That's a design choice though -- if you're structuring your code to avoid mutable state, you're not going to have setters. And if you're structuring your code such that you're telling objects what to do, rather than pulling data out of them and acting on them remotely, then you're not necessarily going to have getters either.
If anyone's looking to reproduce this but in a no-code way then I have a setup to send and receive WhatsApp messages via email[1] using android VM and tasker which could be modified/extended for retrieving other data.

yes this is a must, as much as I like the solution, if it doesn't support good mobile and sync , then it's not good enough for my usecase.
Currently use one note for windows, it's pretty fast compared to the old one note and mobile's support is great.
