If the JVM is considered low latency I shudder to think what is high latency.
New Tuberculosis vaccine candidate safe in HIV- and non-HIV-exposed newborns
My wife had to have a headlight replaced on a new car, about 2 years after owning it. There was a ton of work to replace it. Unlike my first car (ahem) years ago where this was a routine thing and took all of 5 minutes.

So yes, it is now ridiculously complicated to replace lights. But here’s the kicker — my wife’s dealer had never had to do it before. They are so reliable that this was the first time they had to replace a light in that model. We walked in and asked them to replace it as if it was routine. They didn’t believe us that it was out.

So, my guess, not knowing anything about the VW in question is that it really was that complicated, but not something that is expected to happen often.
The majority of that soy you’re worried about is grown to feed the animals…

You’re citing things which are actually making the case for eating only plants stronger, while thinking that you’re doing the opposite. It’s wild.

This isn’t even addressing the part of your argument where you fallaciously appeal to nature by saying you’re going to do what you evolved to do. What we evolved to do is irrelevant; what we have the ability to do is all that matters.
It could make investigators' jobs more annoying. I wonder if something like this would count as some sort of obstruction.
do you have some other anology we should all switch to? maybe a ferrari level analogy that's way better?
As someone else pointed out, it's been centuries not decades.

And it's not "almost like a long drawn-out genocide," it IS a long drawn-out genocide.
They have to be strong because they're beautiful and people want to uproot them.

You know people want to exploit these trees? In Chile you have Chilean wine palms, men topple the tree and tap the root, get the sap and sell it, it's like honey people put them on bananas, it's a Chilean dish, using the sap, called miel de palma. The wine of the wine palm. So they have to be strong. These trees survived the 9.6 degree earthquake in 1960, and the 8.8 degree earthquake in 2010. Moreso than hurricanes, different palms, not as tall and skinny, though that kind, the matchstick palms like in Los Angeles, they are present here too, like in front of Universidad Católica campus near Metro Universidad Católica (that's the name of the station, Universidad Católica on Línea 1, Line 1).

They're all beautiful. Those trees are currently surviving urban warfare at that intersection, every Friday evening it's a collective struggle on both the police and protester's sides. So they have to be strong.
So if someone is convicted of a crime in a perfectly fair and objective process and we later find conclusive and indisputable evidence that they are, without a shadow of a doubt, completely and entirely innocent it’s perfectly acceptable that they be forced to serve their sentence? Including a death sentence? It’s perfectly acceptable that they have no right to appeal their conviction or sentence on a showing of actual innocence?

I think that’s very easy for some people to hand wave away as just “a cost of doing business” in a system of justice but is shockingly and appallingly costly for the people who are unfairly burdened with shouldering that “cost” for the rest of us.
They're not functions, they're procedures. Procedures don't return values. Write your code accordingly.

This is a matter of preference, I think. As a non-erlang practicioner I find Erlang to be far more readable than Java (which is good, because IMO Erlang authors have a habit of writing spaghetti code that's poorly organized). As a non-practicioner at some point in Java you run into annotations? Pragmas? and you stop being confident that your mental model of the code is correct. When I run into those I throw my hands up and start cursing.
Smoking is probably a good analogy. In all ways. Because it took decades before we reduced the impact once we knew the dangers. And centuries before we even realized the dangers.

And smoking a cigarette won't kill you. Smoking one cigarette a day won't kill you. And most people who smoke don't actually get lung cancer.

But it all catches up with you. Smoking a cigarette a day for a decade is going to cause you to die earlier than if you hadn't. Smoking more, even earlier. Most is not all. Because most people who have lung cancer are smokers. And lung cancer isn't even the only thing. There's emphysema, heart disease, etc that's all related to smoking. And way more likely. But that's all aggregate.

Climate is a lot like that. It's nothing in isolation, it's everything in aggregate.
I think that using dd is a character flaw.

Another fun one to point out: Google doesn't just want expanded RCS support because they have a monopoly on all the non-iMessage client devices, but they also run one of the largest providers of the data services for carriers to support RCS as well: https://jibe.google.com/jibe-platform/

Yet another angle on the Google vertical monopoly, and another reason Apple should stay very far away from RCS to protect user privacy.
When you get your drivers license in Sweden you have to take the driving test (so basically you need to learn to drive) with a manual gearbox. You can get a license using an automatic but then your license isn’t valid for vehicles with manual gearbox. The “real” license requires using a manual.

Given how few new cars are sold with manual gearboxes these days, not to mention EVs, I suspect this law is about to change soon.
I think I'm the average Amazon customer. If I buy something cheap and it breaks or doesn't work as expected, I just throw it away. If it's expensive, then I ask for a return, but I really take care to return it as new. If I command something and change my mind afterward, I just keep it and take it as a lesson.
It takes more than that, I think; I don't think the adaptive digital filters I used to work with long ago were conscious, yet they work by predicting future values of a signal and continuously adjusting their parameters to minimize the mean square error (or some other error measure).

Most of the prediction that's going on in the brain seems to be at an unconscious level, and our conscious mind only seems to be alerted when something unexpected happens, like when you're walking along and suddenly step into a shallow hole you didn't notice: your brain was unconsciously predicting when your foot would hit the ground and something else happened.
There's some research that shows that burying logs super deep (beneath the biologically active layer) is an effective method of long-term sequestration: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35362755/
The middle-class urban populations of these countries really liking lighter skin doesn't imply that the country as a whole will have light skin, though. Achieving that also requires that most of the country be middle-class and urban — being in the set of people who both have time to take care of their skin, and don't spend all day working outdoors in the sun in a way which will unavoidably result in tanning no matter how much sunscreen they use. This is true in Japan / South Korea / Taiwan; but not in these other countries, yet.

You can see it happening in China right now (which also culturally has a preference for lighter skin), as the last few decades of infrastructure build-up have led to a new generation whose parents are lower-class farmers but who are themselves middle-class white-collar workers. My hypothesis would predict a lower birth-rate among this cohort, while the previous generation's birth rate remains high.
That would probably help if it made it to a judge. If github is willing to ban anybody who ever contributed to a repository (EDIT: or not), what are the odds that some exchange will ban anybody who ever touched a tainted wallet?

Edit: Actually I have to partially walk that back. It's fairly buried in the comments on the other article, but it looks like the GitHub bans were a lot more limited than that. On the other hand, I could still see an exchange taking such an approach, so I'm going to leave this comment because I think the point is still valid.
Dishwashers(especially newer ones) save energy(and definitely money if you're a restaurant) compared to handwashing though. And washing dishes is useful. Mining bitcoin arguably isn't in the sense that if bitcoin(and all other cryptocurrency) disappeared today, the world would be completely fine.
Personal rant: I've never understood the hate towards XML. It's a practical and flexible markup language that does not depend on whitespace or quoting every bloody thing. Plus, every markup language invented since has had to re-invent XML things that, surprise surprise were actually needed. Paths, schemas, comments, etc.

I get frustrated with JSON because of things I could do in XML that I can't do in JSON without breaking the spec. And that doesn't even cover how annoyingly verbose anything done in JSON is.

Anyways.

Actually it sounds as if they had a good board who were making them look forward to find bigger markets. This seems very positive to me.
That looks very identical ;) just so much more modern. A lot smaller and the screen is so much more fancy.

Think that with old style boards, old-style chips, old-style number screen.

Yes. Ethereum does not have coin control[1] which means that your entire ETH balance is inextricably commingled in a dusting attack, whether you like it or not. That's different from Bitcoin, on which you can choose to not spend tainted coin in your wallet (and prove the provenance of your funds).

When governments are not able to know wth you're doing all the time they get worried.

Remember the Patriot act? Or that it went after Phil Zimmermann (creator of PGP)? I see some parallels here.

PGP can be used for law abiding private communication as well as non-law abiding private communication. Maybe we need to rethink the use of https?

A little of a stretch, but you can say that there are law abiding gun owners and non law abiding gun owners. What should we do about that?

I tend to raise an eyebrow, when the government uses the excuse kids/guns/terrorist/criminals to intrude into my privacy.
Oh, thanks for the alert!

Indeed not at all what it first seemed.

Ah alright, some of those macOS specific problems had been fixed a little while ago when work on the macOS parts of the zld linker happened. I still get an occasional "framework headers not found" on macOS in the current Zig head version, but after the first failure I never seem to be able to reproduce it. It also never happens when running in CI, so I'm not sure if it isn't actually a problem with my Xcode setup.
2003 was nowhere near 2022. A lot of things were improved after 2003 to reduce the number of heat-related deaths so yeah, the toll could have been higher this year. But looking at aquifer levels and the effects on vegetation, it is much worse than it was 19 years ago, which was already quite bad. Also, 2022 is not over yet, and Southern Europe will still be very dry until September at least.

> We didn’t then have quite the sensationalized global news apparatus that we do today, though

That is not helpful. It was very widely reported in 2003. From Europe, I would not say that the coverage is more sentationalised than it was. I grant you that it was not as global as today, because Americans don’t care about what happens in non-America and it wasn’t a hot issue back then in American politics. But it was definitely seen as a catastrophe and it spurred a whole bunch of laws and regulations to help mitigate the consequences of such an event (not the likelihood of an event, because we’re lemmings with 5-minutes attention spans).
I think not everyone is going to be sensitive to this, but apart from battery life, it's super nice having a computer that's not spewing out heat or running the fans loudly.
Free will lies at the particle level. If atoms are defined by strict physical rules that are deterministic and have no free will then if our brains are made of of the same atoms does that mean our brains are also defined by the same strict physical rules?

What if atoms are not defined by deterministic rules? What if it's defined by probabilistic rules? Then are our brains bounded by the same probabilistic rules?

It seems that given that all brains are made of the same stuff as the universe, the question of free will is more of a physics question. What is the universe made of? And does this fundamental unit allow for free will?
True but wallet software might grab them to make a larger spend without the user really thinking about it.
When I began studying physics I felt like a clueless novice. All those equations looked like chicken-scratch on paper. And, "What's the difference between kinetic and potential energy?" And there were so many concepts to understand - forces, masses, fields, charges, and particles. And differential equations seemed incomprehensible. Now, after a few decades I've mastered most all of that. Yet, when I try to grasp the real basics, like "What is space-time?", "How does superposition lead to a single macroscopic universe?", "What is the Higgs field?", "How did this universe 'start'?", "What exactly is mass?", then I realize I'm really back at novice again. I know almost nothing.
I also apportion a fair amount of blame to the media.

There is a major 'boy who cried wolf' effect--because literally everything is maximally exaggerated and sensationalized to optimize engagement and revenue, people are numbed to the constant alarmism and there is no way to get through to them and convince them that this time the crisis is a real one that they can't afford to ignore.
Probably getting rid of the alcoholics that they have to deal with on a daily basis. It's not right, but cops are cops.
I can't tell if these people are just being very picky or if this is yet another front in the constant war to prolong climate change:

> A portion of those credits are put into a buffer account, an insurance mechanism tapped in the event that projects are lost to wildfire, disease, pests or financial risks such as bankruptcy. Those credits are meant to guarantee carbon stocks for at least 100 years. But that promise is falling short as climate change fuels intense wildfires, drought and disease, the researchers said.

> Wildfires have depleted nearly one fifth of that buffer pool in less than a decade, the analysis found.

So, they're generally giving the impression this is all a terrible scam, but the figures they quote suggest that there was planning for fire and diseas, and that the buffer is slightly more depleted than expected after a decade.

And that if lots of trees die, this will "wipe out" the extra carbon credits put aside specifically to cover the eventuality that some trees might die.
Disclaimer: I work at Databricks.

Databricks is more of a platform than "just" a tool. So yes we offer first-party "end to end" solutions, and we're happy to show their value to you and convince you to pay for them, but we play nice with others, and we have a ton of great partners who can connect into our platform and help you ingest, transform, analyze, and consume your data. So you can use our native ingestion tools, or partners like Fivetran; our native ETL/ELT tools, or dbt; our native SQL/BI/warehousing capabilities, or Snowflake.

The metaphor Andy Kofoid our VP of Ops uses is XBox or Steam. They're a platform others can build things on, but they also sell their own games and offer value-added services on top of the things others are selling.

And like those platforms, we have the same ultimate twin goals of attracting customers and partners.

I hope that didn't come across as my point. Some have a rich social life and prefer the office, and others wfh. Some have a poor social life and prefer the office, and others wfh.

My point was just that those who fill their social life outside of work don't always need everyone working from the office. And that's okay.
To me this reads as a positive to the default handlers, as it shows how easy it was to make it work into a format that works for the programmer's preference. I appreciated the solution to the complaint
>People need to stop shaming manufacturers for recalling their vehicles.

They only did the recall once they were sued. They should be shamed for waiting 17 years to do this until they were forced to.

We have been a fivetran subscriber for close to 5 years, and I think every year we have renewed it has been a completely new billing model.
They insist that not only do they have the right to speak, but you must listen.

It's part of a much larger, long-term culture war. Many people find it reprehensible, so the WSJ and ideological fellow travelers have to shout louder. Anybody who tries to ignore it will be forced to listen.

"Cancel culture" is the dog-whistle they use for their ideological opponents. They do the same thing, all the time, but it's only "cancel culture" when it's done to them. The obvious hypocrisies don't matter. The dog whistle provides just enough deniability to ignore them, in service of the longer-term goal.

"Putin wahl": First result is a marketplace in Russian. Everything else on the first page seems to be German + 1 Austrian, and they're quite critical, of course. RT and the other Russian propaganda pages only show up at page 5, but none of them mention the election.

I do get several captcha requests from the website now. Might be coincidence, because i'm on a different computer now. It does get annoying, though. Like, really annoying. Clicking 1 or 2 pages leads to yet another captcha.
Bitcoin and similar chains use a “UTXO” model that tracks outputs of individual transactions, even when made to the same receiving address. This allows for control of specific coins when spending. ETH doesn’t use UTXO and I don’t believe it has the ability to perform coin control.
The biggest bank in Slovenia also requires an app, but I wrote a webapp that implements the reverse engineered protocol the bank uses in the mobile app (the protocol is basically a TOTP implementation brought from a private company).
Forestry carbon credits have always been a bad joke, comparable to 'clean zero-emission coal plants' in terms of their effectiveness in slowing the rate of CO2 increase in the atmosphere. Such concepts are really borderline, if not actual, scientific fraud.

The guilty parties here are politicians, bureaucrats and corporations who wanted to be seen as 'doing something' or selling 'responsible stewardship' to the public while actually doing nothing. I honestly have more respect for the outfits that didn't even bother with such bogus PR claims (ExxonMobil) vs the shady fraudsters who tried to greenwash their image this way (BP 'Beyond Petroleum', Chevron's 'sustainability program'). Politicians like Al Gore hyped these schemes as well, while not doing much that would actually decrease fossil fuel use (like a massive increase in solar/wind/storage technology R&D and manufacturing support). Countries like Canada used this nonsense to justify continuing with the dirtiest fossil fuel production system on the planet, i.e. Alberta tar sand mining, all while portraying themselves as green enviromentalists.

Such opportunistic politicization of the issue has resulted in major problems ever since when it comes to explaining the science to skeptics, who understandably started to think it was all about politics.

Even 30 years ago when these schemes were first trotted out as 'cap and trade' scientists knew they were bogus. Forests weren't capable of expanding to absorb fossil carbon being pumped into the atmosphere and predictions of continental drying (reduced growth rates), warmer winters (allowing insect infestations), and longer fire seasons (burning down the forests) all pointed to steady reductions in standing biomass, not increases.
WinForms will only look native on Windows. On cross-platform it generally looks like a mess. Also, even on Windows it may look native but it also looks "dated" generally.
Its definitely a compromise, but Google is ultimately at the mercy of the carriers. We can sit back behind our keyboards and criticize but it is a way to get something going. I don't think carriers have any incentive to improve this area, and probably nothing would happen

I strapped mine to a motorcycle and subjected it to sun, rain and dust for a few months. The GPS interface was baked into the screen, but it kept going. It even flew off the bike at speed once. I never had a phone fail from abuse.

But I had much dumber failures:

- Walk on a log to get a better picture of a lake, slip, and drop the phone in freezing water. Took multiple weeks to regain access to everything.

- The humidity presses buttons in my pocket. Too many passcode attempts, iPhone factory resets itself while abroad. Lost a bunch of unsynced photos that time.
This will be a great test of how decentralized the ethereum ecosystem actually is.
It is actually worse than you think, the entire account ends up having "interacted" with a "sanctioned" entity :( account owners may be subject 10y in jail if any prosecutor would bring a case. This is true for any tokens and NFTs associated with the account as well as the ETH.
