Birman had kind of an ongoing ‘rivalry’ with the guy who made the Metro map at Art. Lebedev (which became the official one)—in that both maps were developed and updated at the same time, with public progress reports and resulting education of the hipster masses on transport map design. But to find meaningful differences between the two maps, you pretty much had to whip out a magnifying glass. The two dudes also constantly nodded at each other's designs, and you could really see the micro-decisions at play, down to line thicknesses and distances to the labels.

Frankly, personally I'm more captivated by the above-ground maps by both the Bureau and the Studio: the latter have at least the largest-format Metro map, with the city's points of interest, whereas Birman participated in stuff like this: https://ilyabirman.ru/ekaterinburg-metro/2016/

> Oil shocks, interest rates at 15%. History rhymes.

Except the G-20 average public debt in the 70s was like 30% of the GDP.

We cannot go to interest rates at 15% with countries having 100%+ public debt (as is the case nearly everywhere in Europe for example).
I get a lot of inbound elixir interest, and my company is hiring for at least 4 elixir positions now.
It's all about observation bias. The SO survey wasn't representative in any conceivable way. Only active users (as already pointed out, the vast majority are passive users) who are passionate about their programming language of choice were sampled.

Most professional programmers aren't passionate about the language they use - it's a tool or a management decision, nothing to get emotional about.

The more "esoteric" or "exotic" the programming language, the more passionate its user base. Mainstream is defined by mediocracy and the average developer simply doesn't care.
What did cause the reboot? Is this some kind of DOS watchdog that reboots the system because your program didn't exit gracefully?

Do you mean it's only a trivial insight if you already know it?

> I have worked with many developers who believe that whatever they value is obviously the right values and everybody else just don’t get it. Every time a developer claims they have made a “rational” choice you know you are seeing one of them in their natural inhabitant.

Some of the most pernicious ideological-adherents are the ones who don't realize their beliefs are an ideology, and instead confuse it for reality (or that their values are the only valid values). They have a really hard time understanding anything else, or analyzing their own beliefs.

You see this a lot with people who read a couple libertarian pop-econ books and then run around like everything is a simple question of supply, demand, and prices and that an ideal free market is "values neutral." It's also common in other areas, through (e.g. most deeply-polarized people of whatever party, "the reality-based community", etc.).
I thought the same! :-)
well at this rate you have better chance of buying PS6. Supply chain shocks are here to stay for years to come.
I have no idea how to view upvotes/downvotes on other posts or my own, but I see this one is greyed out, which I guess means it was downvoted by someone.

Since I don't see a reply explaining why, and it's at least an interesting point of view, I upvoted it.
Totally agree. Our current school schedule is based on a 1930's farm schedule and hasn't changed in the last 100 years.

Currently school is trying to do education, socialization and childcare in one big lump and doing all poorly.

I fear though, that if school was not responsible for childcare, there would be no support at all for childcare for working parents - and we've seen the disastrous childcare crisis already in effect for ages 0-5. So this problem needs attention too.

I wrote more about the idiocy of lumping childcare, education and socialization together here : https://manisharoses.medium.com/not-school-or-homeschooling-...

Since those are percentages it could simply mean that a great amount of Java positions opened up in that period, stealing percent points from other categories. This explains the symmetry, but not the causes.

May it be a huge amount of positions have been incorrectly labeled for Java instead of JavaScript (you know… Ham / Hamster) and then corrected a month later?
Thank you! Maybe it will work. I could be explaining wrong. Maybe it’s not because of cat 5, all I know is when I asked google fiber about a better connection they said the building’s wiring only supported 100 megaBITs.

AWS Amplify and Firebase

However I have to admit that we don't necessarily run the "target" applications that Vercel was really designed for. We have a full suite of Lambda backend services that communicate with each other in VPCs and over SQS. We have scheduled executions using CloudFront and listen to events happening in several other AWS subservices.

Now, we also have two "simpler" React applications that we have actually test-driven on Vercel before, but the cold start time of functions was honestly quite horrible and detrimental in comparison, and the problem that really drove us away very quickly was the lack of integrated database and authentication solutions (e.g. AWS Amplify/DynamoDB/Cognito and Firebase/Firestore/Auth). I know about Railway and 0auth, but we have no interest in using several different providers with uncertain confidence in them just for basic application logic, especially because they don't integrate back into Vercel at all (like e.g. functions being called when a DB record changes) and seem to be more expensive than even AWS itself.

If Vercel was more like a "Heroku for serverless", and at the very least offered some of these basic features directly, and then had some good ways of connecting them together, we would potentially reconsider.
TSMC to customers: It's time to stop using older nodes and move to 28nm

One thing that really hurt Ruby was there was just way too many ways to accomplish the same thing

I dunno, to me it feels like that's why Python won. Python is more pragmatic, flexible, less wedded to ideals, and, I think, these things allowed it to pick up a lot of entry level developer attention especially in areas like data journalism, data science, ML, etc. which stole a lot of Ruby's "good for beginners" thunder. This is now paying dividends as all those new folks have cemented Python's now bread and butter projects like PyTorch as must-have skills. Ruby not ever really caring about Windows didn't help either.
The weekly figures are also much much better for switch, so the gap in cumulative scales is only growing right now.
Thank you! I will look into that DSLAM.

There is a long tradition of serial memory interfaces. RDRAM/XDR DRAM, FB-DIMM/AMB, Intel SMB, OMI DIMM/DDIMM, etc.

They seem to have most success in high end server CPUs where memory capacity and throughput are important. They have cost, power, latency disadvantages, so their forays into low end servers, PCs, etc has been more sporadic.
If I want to put something together fast I use the default AWS Cognito and Firebase Auth widgets. I think Firebase Auth has more third party sign in options.

In my current project I do away with accounts completely and just email a link that sets a cookie for 30 or 90 days [1]. I think the Auth you choose highly depends on the money/privacy/sensitivity/fraud potential of your project.

It's surprising that there is so much need for Ruby (even more than Golang) and Lua, and that there is five times less need for Dart than for Lua developers.
If the overall agricultural output is suppressed by LIA, then population recovery from the plague will be slowed down. From what I've found, most of Europe recovered population size before 1500.

One niche confirmation for this finding: my high school wrestling team used to heat the wrestling room to 90-100 degrees, and then subsequent sweat would drive humidity up (presumably towards 90%). It felt like working out in the Houston sun in August.

The coaches were always trying to push us to our literal physical limits (nobody ever got hurt, btw). It's interesting to me that the temp they experimentally arrived at is ~32 C wet bulb.
It wouldn't take long before this calendar was inconsistent. The Earth rotates about 365 times before it returns to its previous spot in its orbit around the sun. If you adopted a 360 day calendar (assuming you by "day" in this calendar system you mean "a 24-hour period"), then after just a decade of this calendar, summer would happen 50 days earlier than it does today.

My father, who is in his 70s, and mentally very sharp, although a little hard of hearing, was trying to organize a wire transfer from Australia to me in the US for around $25K.

He had a hell of a time doing it, not even as a matter of international wire logistics, but convincing the bank staff to "allow" him to do so because they were "concerned he was being scammed".

On one hand I appreciated their concern, but as he told them, "Do you see my (very very uncommon) family name? See his? It's my son." "Well, have you spoken to your son? Did he ask you to send him money on Facebook?" "No, WE offered to send him a gift towards downpayment of a house." "How do you know this is his bank account details?" "Because I asked him for them and he gave them to me?"

He got ... quite frustrated.

Ecuador's Attempt to Resettle Edward Snowden
Absolutely recommend against using AWS Cognito. It is a nightmare to use.

Currently I am trying to integrate Firebase into AWS because of how bad Cognito is.

One thing going well that Cognito will never be is Firebase Auth.
The economist Ha-Joon Chang noted that the spread of domestic household technology, such as washing machines, piped gas, refrigerators etc. has had a more dramatic effect on human social organization than the internet and computers have had (as of ~2010 or so). The role of domestic servants was essentially eliminated as a result, and women who'd traditionally served in that role were able to find employment outside the home as a result (which also created the daytime child care industry).

The first automatic washing machines were introduced in the USA in 1937; a decade later women played important roles in wartime manufacturing during WWII, and by 1970 universities like Caltech finally opened their doors to female students.

It's possible that some new technology - AI-assisted robotic automation in particular - could have a similar societal impact by eliminating many jobs and concentrating wealth in the hands of the owners of the manufacturing lines, although this would seem to be a self-defeating outcome as fewer people would be able to purchase the output. An alternative result would be something like an average 30-hr work week with no change in economic earnings for the vast majority of people.
some of this is as a result of a self feeding endless loop i.e in regards to JS.
using JS or more apt us JS dev requires / create complexity, which in turn creates more demand for JS devs.

> just because there are loads of networks that does not mean there is loads of traffic.

Networks simply existing causes traffic, the beacon frames that advertise SSIDs are always transmitted at the lowest speed supported by the network, which on 2.4GHz consumer gear almost always means 1mbit/sec 802.11b. (this is the one actual real world benefit to disabling SSID broadcast, eliminating the small interruptions caused by beaconing).

Also keep in mind that 2.4GHz interference isn't just WiFi, it's also Bluetooth and decades worth of cordless phones, RF remotes, gamepads, keyboards, mice, etc.

Anyways, I use Ubiquiti gear at home, and one of the nice features it has is logging channel activity. On 2.4GHz channel 11 the utilization never goes below 25% and hits 75% regularly during peak home WiFi times. I have three smart lightbulbs and a bed on 2.4GHz at the moment, these devices have literally double digit megabytes of activity over months, so the traffic on the band isn't me.

On 5GHz channel 161 on the other hand I have three laptops, two tablets, two phones, two TVs used almost exclusively for streaming, and with all that my average channel utilization is below 10% with the spikes beyond that base level almost entirely correlates with activity of my devices.

---

I don't know what the actual real world difference is, but it's not exactly hard to make the case that moving devices to bands with shorter range and more available spectrum is a good thing for reducing the inadvertent interference caused by modern consumer tech.

One thought to add that it is OK for your child to be bored. If you allow them to be bored and don't try to entertain them, they will have space to discover what they're interested in and learn to engage themselves instead of expecting someone else to do that for them. Boredom is really healthy for kids and not written about enough.

But everyone absolutely needs friends. I hope I can help support you with this as it's very dear to my heart. Plugging into a community can really help.

Imagine if the web worked like that: You couldn't click a link that takes you where you wanna go, instead it's "essential computing knowledge" that you must open a separate tab, type the name of the other page you wanted into a search box and find the page you were looking for on the results page.

Many companies leak tons of information on their website; look up the CEO/President's name, find someone on Linked-in that is a new hire, guess their email based on whatever format the company uses (first.last@company, etc) and send a decent looking email or call.

It's pretty darn advanced, and can extend to texts, etc. If you don't know 'how your president talks' you can easily be bamboozled (we cover it in onboarding now, and have identified people they can always go to with questions).

3. Service verifies the claim's signature was signed by the corresponding private key
Couldn't this also be due to personalization? Algorithms could be showing more of one language and consequently less of another.

Yes, escalators going down can generate power for the local grid when there are people on them. Modern escalators do this. E.g. https://www.kebamerica.com/blog/vfd-regen-escalators/

It doesn't particularly power the escalator going up, it just reduces the power consumption of the whole building.

There was also the Levytator where instead of the stairs looping underneath at the end, they go around and form the opposite escalator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x58272OirGU

This means that people travelling down automatically help people travelling up because they are on the same mechanically linked stairs.

> dependency management is a nightmare

I don't know if it's better these days, but dependency management was one of the reasons I stuck with Ruby over Python back in the early 2010's. I never had issues with it in Ruby, but was constantly battling with dependency management in Python.
That's not a good analogy, because the people living in Crimea are mostly Russian.

How would it enforce it’s authority with non-compliant actors?
I read this as javascript possibly being the language of recent growth: It's relatively young, very much en vogue, and so new startups are likely to use it disproportionally (because the guys who have been around for a while will not just switch their millions of lines of code to js because it's now become a thing).

But startups are also more likely to falter quickly in a recession than the old guard. And that's where java (or c#) is overrepresented.

I am not qualified to comment this article, and my feeling as an amateur in neurodegenerative diseases is that indeed we are making artificial categorization by seperating Alzheimer's disease from Parkinson, Huntington, etc... but :

"The new work, ..., is the first attempt to quantify how much protein aggregation occurs throughout the body during the natural aging of a vertebrate animal — in this case, a very short-lived fish

My point is that there are already many studies that were made on humans that shown aging patients have up to four neurodegenerative comorbidities.

And for example TDP-43 protein is found in 95% of ALS, some form of Alzheimer such as LATE, FTD, 25% of Parkinson disease cases. Same for other proteins like alpha-synuclein, Tau protein, etc.

There are even names for those families of diseases that involve aggregated proteins: Tauopathies, synucleinopathies, amyloidosis, apolipoprotein, aggregation of superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1), polyglutamine, and TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43).

There is a long list of diseases linked to protein aggregation on Wikipedia:

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

So as we have ample evidence on humans that protein aggregation (intra or extra cellular) is a problem for the elderly, why do we need a study on killifish?
For me, Auth0 was the quickest and easiest.

I only wanted read-only social network login.

There was an official library in the language of my choice.

It was free (at my level of use).

The only thing I need to keep secure is the API tokens for Facebook / Twitter / GitHub etc. I don't even bother storing anything other than the user's ID, current name, and service.

If someone hacks my service, they won't be able to do anything nefarious with the user's data.

Building your own is a nightmare. If a login provider changes their API flow, Auth0 are incentivised to fix it - rather than passing the buck to me.
Easier to just kill all humans.

Also, have you considered what the term "authority" means?
