I work remotely and have been doing so since I moved here. I'm not expecting anyone to pay for me either, I make more than enough to cover the expenses for my family.

However, as I said, there's plenty of others who aren't as fortunate. Most of those I know, are born out here, work in agriculture, and don't see why they should keep producing cheap food for city-dwellers, when all they do is try to limit their ability to keep the production going. And I assure you; urban areas in Europe will not want to be depending on food imports this fall.

Again, as I mentioned, synthetic fuels are the way to go until electrification is done. While food occasionally does grow on trees, harvesting is almost completely dependent on fossil fuels. The power grid is being upgraded, albeit slowly (and believe me: we're paying a lot for the work). The forestry industrycan't run without diesel.

Electrifying everything will take time. If we want it done faster we need synthetic fuels. Preferably yesterday.
> it's doable with the right gear and clothing

It's doable, but it's also the most time consuming and impractical way of transportation, compared to the other options, so therefor it's bad.

Just because you can find a weird amish guys who insists that riding a horse is great, doesn't make that a good way of transportation, or something that we should start doing more.
Sure but that’s just this specific vote, the goal of the EU has been quite clear here, they want to eventually ban consumption engines.

If you keep a consumption engine you won’t have as many gas stations anymore and will not be allowed to circulate in some areas (low-emission zones, for example see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crit%27air).
Don't leave us hanging like that. Which major religions do you personally consider not to be a fairy tale? Please also include, for each such religion, if you happen to believe in it, and whether it was the religion you grew up with (if applicable).
Based on the visualization the algorithm seems to be:

If you input that you expect to be unemployed for a short/long time, it returns that assumption. Only if you say you don't know...

Immigrant/descendant: High risk of long term unemployment, right away. (Edit: Apparently except non-western immigrants, based on the source code!)

Age is the next check that can classify you as high risk, I didn't look for the threshold (Edit: 56, according to the source). As long as you're below that, the deciding factor is...

How long were you employed out of the past 36 months? 12 months is apparently good. (Edit: <2 is the threshold).

It seems like most of the questions don't seem to be considered (if the visualization is to be believed) and it's a very simple "if x return foo" style algorithm, not some fancy scorer/ML.

Look for function setValues() in https://ledighedsalgoritmen.dk/p5vis.js
> now in 10 years vote to move this date forward?

You're assuming you'll be able to vote on the issue.

The EU isn't a particularly democratic system, and even assuming that the question will be asked of politicians and not simply implemented by non-elected bureaucrats, being able to poll the entire voter base on an issue such as this one is damn near impossible in the current system.

Also, last time an actual EU-wide referendum was implemented, the results were basically ignored because the outcome didn't suit the bureaucrats.
There's an interesting issue with how expensive ICE cars will become to service and fuel when their number becomes smaller (2023 is meant to be the peak of ICE sales). The tipping point for replacement of horse drawn carriages with cars in large cities around the world came quite quickly - when the infrastructure became more expensive.

In 2035/2040 the majority of ICE car owners will be the less well off (plus those driving classic cars) - but they'll likely be paying much more for travel than those that can afford new electric cars.
I disagree, you highlight a bunch of issues with your university system and then use them to say that police shouldn't need college education. Do you feel the same way about lawyers?

Personally I think the people that actually enforce the law should be some of the most educated on the topic and the justice system, much of which is far too in depth to learn while also being a full time police offer.

The most obvious solution is for police to have degrees in criminal justice or law (as in some non-US countries).

It would be really great if any javascript binding could be turned off in about:config or it's equivalent in other browsers. It's not really a solution, but would bandaid a lot of bad design which I can't see any legitimate use for (like scroll-hijacking).

I guess you can already overwrite any existing function with your custom non-function with userscripts, but that seems quite hacky and non-portable, since most mobile browsers don't really support extensions (Firefox does, but only a small subsection)
Nothing but dirty FUD by someone whose Java skills are at best Junior level.

Why is this on the front page?

> Java does not trap overflows

Fair enough but only relevant for specific problems/domains. Never encountered this in 10 years.

> Java allows data races

It does not, if you use its dead simple std lib concurrency collections. Also it brings all the concurrency primitives you'd ever ask for (mutex, semaphore, synchronized and god knows what) and guaranteed latest-read "volatile" keyword if you really want to go there. Which you shouldn't. Use AtomicReference, AtomicInteger, ConcurrentHashmap, etc. If you struggle with data races in Java, you are at best a Java junior programmer and should study it instead of writing FUD.

> Java lacks null safety

I like null. Matter of personal opinion. If you are an anti null fetishist, go with Optional. If you want to go even further, use validated @NonNull annotations.

> Java lacks named arguments

Personal opinion. Syntactic sugar I never missed. IntelliJ and VS Code offer inlay hints to overcame this if it really helps. May I also offer you some rainbow colored braces for dessert?
> Defining the term is hard. So hard in fact, that no one has managed to do it in millennia (it's not as if this question is new).

Indeed! It's almost like any statement about sentience pro or con is unfalsifiable, to be accepted or rejected according to faith. Each of us two, ourselves, could insist that the other is not (or is) sentient, but neither of us could objectively prove it. We humans all just have to decide that we must act as if everyone else must feel internally like we do, even though we all could just be automatons, reacting deterministically to stimuli.

In the absence of a formal definition, any statement about "has sentience" is not only unfalsifiable, it's absurd.

OP maybe should have titled his article "The question of LaMDA's sentience is meaningless" or maybe "No, LaMDA does not feel internally like we humans do".

If it's indoors or in the shade, I don't think there are many places regularly hitting >45C temperatures. Obviously placing it in the sun wouldn't be wise.

The -20C limit could hit more areas, but if placed indoors I guess most should also be fine with that.
They should add a high powered laser that points in the same direction as the detection laser (or maybe you could use the same laser, and alternate the power). If a harmful insect can be detected quickly enough, they could fire the high powered laser to kill it
I understand how the EU started and its purpose. I Just find it a bizarre way to integrate inside out, by aligning internal economic policies.

The cynic in me thinks it thrives because it's a bureaucrat and civil service wet dream. I feel like the hardcore pro-european people must feel this deep down and be deeply ashamed that - in 2022 - they are still completely reliant on the US security umbrella despite their increasing edge (on paper at least) over their neighbouring "rival".
IMHO: click bait.

Half of the bullet point you find in 75% of all languages (eg int overflow, nullability, race conditions) or are ideas which are a security scientist dream of (eg named arguments).

There is barely something specific to Java and more esoteric.
Have had this for a few hours. Pretty annoying that the status page shows all green.
Catch exceptions without even try-ing
I did not expect to hear their support lauded by anyone. They prevent solutions to problems from ending up on their forums, aren't widespread enough to have solutions on stack overflow, and have documentation that is often simply inaccurate (i.e. they've changed the names of things, or moved options, etc.)

Here's an example. We have an issue, find other people on their forums that have also had it, but no solution is visible. We file a ticket. They say it's a known problem with a known workaround and tell us the workaround. Why isn't it shared? Because they wouldn't share the solution unless you're paying for support.

Some of their systems are a mess too. There are multiple ways of getting logs out of function apps, and only the most pain in the ass way that requires the most configuration is going to contain all the logs. Other viewers and ways of reading the logs will be partial.

Resource groups are a great idea though.
So instead of testing your companies CICD pipeline, contributing to it and making it overall better for everyone you now have a snow flake system only you use and know how to maintain?

I try to align when possible. I think your solution is hacky and costs the company much more in the long run.
> 1. Java does not trap overflows

This one struck me some day because this is why Math.abs can return a negative value. When passing Integer.MIN_VALUE, the result will be -2147483648.

There is now StrictMath.absExact that throws an exception in that case.
It's not that complicated, you need a rain jacket, waterproof pants and you are already 90% there. If you want to be more comfortable if you are biking longer than 30-45 minutes in bitter cold before freezing (5C or less) it can be sensible to have insulated shoes but it's not a requirement at all, I usually don't wear any weatherproof shoes during spring/fall in Stockholm, rainy and windy around 5C or less and experienced no issues having a change of socks + shoes after a 45-60 minutes commute on a bike.

It's really not an issue if you just get used to it, every time I read similar comments to this I can only think of a picky child complaining about relatively minor issues, and mostly they are imagined ones by people who never really had to/tried to bike during these conditions...
With 600-700mg of caffeine per day, your sleep is pretty much screwed with or without an espresso, that's probably true.
When I was in kindergarten, I can't know how old I was, I clearly remember going to the window in our apartment and seeing my grandmother looking up at me, so I jumped and she caught me.

Obviously not a true memory. I remember remembering it, and that feels weird, because I don't actually remember it happening anymore (saying that makes me realize that the false memory is either me remembering that, or me remembering remembering that). I think it came from a weird dream.

It may have something to do with my mother telling me not to go near the window because I could fall. My grandmother used to visit us there a lot too, and I liked that. The brain is super weird.
This is not looking good for Crypto. Bitcoin is around 24K USD today after a ~10% fall. Other major crypto are following or likely to follow .. Terra Luna fiasco was just the trailer .. The whole movie is going to be more horrifying ..

I wasn't expecting basically anything it was just idle chit-chat, just expect someone doing economics to have some basic idea of economy good / economy bad. Are interest rates low? Not sure if he would've known.

Certainly it's difficult to imagine someone motivated by accuracy rather than making political points about migrants (and education and desire to work) concluding that what industry people have worked in, the years of experience they have, the level of seniority they've obtained, how much of their previous work is in Denmark, previous salaries they've earned and whether they're willing to take a lower paid job etc are all less important than whether they're non-Western and what their highest level of education is...

Admittedly, it's also the type of model you'd expect someone working back from very limited available data to come up with, but I struggle to believe it's a particularly accurate model
A small team should use the central k8s platform if it exists and it's the company base infrastructure layer.

Way too rushed... I don't think there is a clear roadmap for how the required infrastructure and supply chain will work. Definitely no clear understanding on the environmental impact of EVs. Did some pushy Tesla sales reps took senior EU politicians for some cool test rides? Sounds very much like it.

I honestly think solutions like electric or synthetic fuels are a delusion. The only way to get out of this situation is to accept the fact that we developed in a totally unsustainable way in the past decades, thanks to private transportation. We will have to step back and give up some of our most recently acquired habits, I'm entirely sure of that. The question is, will we wait until it's too late to do it?

This must be a European design. In the USA, governed by NFPA 70 - The National Electric Code, the ground rod's purpose is to establish the ground voltage reference to reference the electrical systems of a building to it and to dissipate any charge buildup on the circuits.

The ground rod is not there to carry current to interrupt a fault to "protective earth" - the green or green/yellow. The circuit breaker interrupts a short as you bring the protective earth wire back to the main disconnect of a building where it bonds to the neutral wire.

If a fault occurs, an unregulated amount of current flows on the protective earth wire to the breaker panel and a circuit breaker interrupts the circuit.

It won't go away, but there's good chances fuel gets a lot more expensive as production scales back.
Romania, and while we certainly benefited economically from entering the EU (even though on a societal level the discussion is a lot more complicated, a lot of small and medium towns are now basically deserted) this type of measures that might make sense for wealthier Germany and France are certainly regressive for countries like mine. To put it more simply, we're too poor for this "eco" green-washing that is imposed on us from Brussels.

I guess we could all make our bags and move to wealthier Germany and France, I mean, those of us that still decided to remain here, but that would be bad for our society at a national level (see the previous point about empty towns).

I found similar. Their documentation often refers to things that simply don't exist. Pictures of how menus used to look and no longer do. Multiple ways of doing the same thing that give slightly different results, with no real reason for the difference.

I have heard though, that it makes more sense for people coming out of sysadmining Windows Server networks.
Some of the "modern" terminology in software development makes me want to puke. "Hydration" is one of those examples. And of course ingress / egress rate sounds way more important than read / write speed / rate.

Yes, only new cars. I think it this could also mean the reverse for used cars: They get more expensive because everybody wants them and no new are produced.
By 2035 any car manufactured today would be at least 13 years old. My oldest car is 20 years old, and worth basically one tenth - at best - it's purchase price (probably less).

So realistically, old car stock will spend another couple of decades being driven till it's dust, and then it'll be gone. But this is a move which does need to happen soon, since you can reasonably expect another 2 decades of the vehicles on the second hand market after implementation.
Can you provide a link to Shelly? Thank you.
I was convinced it was mental illness, but your take is absolutely valid as well and totally makes sense. Mainstream media all around the world picked up this NONSENSE in a flash. Everyone loves the "It's a sentient child!" angle. This is the perfect setup for writing a book and/or being invited to talk shows. We'll see what happens soon.
For LLMs it's not really that interesting. There's no embodiment at all beyond text, there's no sense of "time" or "speed". Either it's running full-tilt generating a response, or it's off.
Incredibly stupid decision.

Anyway, only EV i'm willing to use is the one disconnected from internet.
It wasn't rhetoric, and I wasn't advocating for anything. I was just explaining what actually happened in many places in early to mid-2020. There was a genuine emergency, societies switched to "war mode", and governments used similar (and sometimes even the same) emergency powers as during an actual war. And people generally supported it.

I remember being mildly amused how the early lockdowns in the US were often instituted by mid-level administrators such as county health officials. Similar measures would have required a constitutional amendment in Finland. It was like the aftermath of 9/11: when a crisis hits home, Americans don't care so much about freedom anymore.
> And they cost a ton of money in maintenance.

A lot less than the roads for automobiles, and I regularly use the bike lanes in Sweden during all seasons and have no issues with that despite being originally from a warm country.

What a weird rant to come after bike lanes because "they are expensive and just virtue signalling", jesus.
> "Then having one language, no, one _shared code base_ for both client and server, which automatically can only send the minimum necessary over the wire? That's a _huge_ step forward."

This is exactly the kind of non-nuanced, buzzwordy and handwavy advertising I was ranting about.

1. Why should having the client and server share the same codebase even be a goal in the first place? This should be a nuanced conversation with different trade-offs, there's no one-size-fits-all here. It's disingenuous to paint this as an ideal we all have to work towards on a whim.

2. I don't even know where's the innovation in being able to "send the minimum necessary over the wire". This is a pillar of decent software engineering. We've been severely regressing here due to the pervasive use of bloated abstraction layers, combined with a deep lack of understanding of how things work (ref. the Uncle Bob post I've linked earlier).
In a way it is good that they are focusing on the wrong things. It makes it easier for competitors to catch up and compete.

Google engineer claims AI technology LaMDA is sentient
Technical debt is if you purposely don't write unit tests because you don't have the time for it.

Or clean code because no one will ever touch it again.

Or a feature you only need once and just write it somehow.

And then all this shit stays in your product and starts dragging you down.

This is totally different than when you start with a monolith and know that you might want to rework it later but accept potential future work.

And you should start with a modular monolith anyway.

I don't think it's reasonable to try to redefine the term technical debt.

In a funny light, I can see this being used as a performance enhancing drug in free-dive competitions.
