No, I don’t think anybody can do it.

Unless I can’t read, ICU4C does not even do streaming normalization, and the buffer-at-a-time one is around 100—200 MB/s or so[1], which looks ... mildly amusing next to your engine :) My own attempt at streaming normalization is currently about two times slower, because it has deeper (and smaller) tables and is just generally dumb, but then ICU4C is not particularly smart either. I expect that normalization at 2x ICU speed or more is possible, but that still won’t make normalize-then-match competitive with no normalization, while encoding all canonical equivalents into the DFA sounds downright hellish (also strictly speaking impossible, given normalization requires unbounded buffer space, but that part is probably solvable).

UTS #18 level 2 (which I’m aware you explicitly did not attempt) kind of says some things about canonical equivalence and then goes “nah, normalization is difficult, let’s go match grapheme clusters, also maybe just prenormalize to NFD”[2]. Which just looks weird, but apparently it means they did try to impose a requirement then gave up more than a decade ago[3]. Does anything even fully implement level 2, I wonder?

So, meh, but not really directed at you—regex is supernaturally fast as far as I’m concerned. Perhaps I’m annoyed at Unicode normalization for being (not really complicated but) so punishingly difficult to do quickly it isn’t really clear how you could wire it into a regex matcher.

There is also the question of how normalization-invariant regexes should even work: should “<C-caron>.” match “<C-cedilla><caron>”? UTS #18 (with invariance requirement restored) seems to imply yes, but it’s hard to imagine when anyone would actually want that. (Note that both pattern and haystack are normalized—the corresponding regex for NFD input would be something like “(C<caron>[[:ccc=0:][:ccc>=230:]]|C[[:ccc>0:]&[:ccc<230:]]<caron>)”, but nothing implements that syntax.) So while UTS #18 gives a possible interpretation of how Unicode regexes should work, I’m not entirely convinced it’s the right one, or even right enough to go on the crusade of implementing a normalization-invariant regex engine.

There isn't a human alive today whose blood is free from PFOA and/or PFOS. The question to answer is what are the major routes by which this is happening.

There is a lot of discussion in this thread about cookware. The problem is that these chemicals are now found throughout the environment and used in countless products. The stuff is found increasingly in drinking water and foods. Maybe cookware is a major contributor, but the truth is nobody knows yet.

Nor does this effect appear limited to liver cancer. The paper notes:

> Studies examining associations of PFAS exposure with risk of other cancers, such as kidney cancer, in the general population have found similar associations to those reported here. For example, in the only existing nested case-control study examining the prospective association between PFAS levels and risk of renal cell carcinoma, PFOS levels >50 μg/L were associated with more than two-fold increased risk of developing renal cell carcinoma (OR=2.51; 95% CI: 1.28-4.92), and similar associations were reported for PFOA and PFHxS [[52]]. These findings are notable due to the similarity in PFOS concentrations associated with risk of HCC in our study. ...

https://www.jhep-reports.eu/article/S2589-5559(22)00122-7/fu...

For its part, the paper never mentions the word "cookware" and is instead focused on the link between blood concentrations and cancer.

Edit: Wikipedia has the following paragraph on the topic of cookware:

> Despite DuPont's asserting that "cookware coated with DuPont Teflon non-stick coatings does not contain PFOA",[91] residual PFOA was also detected in finished PTFE products including PTFE cookware (4–75 parts per billion).[87] However, PFOA levels ranged from undetectable (<1.5) to 4.3 parts per billion in a more recent study.[48] Also, non-stick cookware is heated—which should volatilize PFOA; PTFE products that are not heated, such as PTFE sealant tape, had higher (1800 parts per billion) levels detected.[92] Overall, PTFE cookware is considered an insignificant exposure pathway to PFOA.[93][94]

For people who care: thermopaper receipts are absolutely loaded with BPA. Cashiers have measurably higher serum BPA levels, because they touch them all day long.

I generally don't take or touch receipts if I can avoid it, but I don't treat them like they're radioactive. The dose makes the poison, and I haven't figured out how to completely eliminate them and still function in society.
France needs to invest - and has already done so - in the development of fast breeder reactors [1] which are used to create ("breed") fissionable fuel from non-fissionable material in spent fuel rods. They already developed such reactors (Rhapsodie, Phenix and Superphenix [2]) but currently they do not have a functioning FBR to rework spent fuel rods. Using fast breeder reactors the 60 GTEP (Gigaton equivalent energy from petroleum products) in available fissionable Uranium can be turned into ~7000 GTEP of fissionable fuel. As a comparison, this is 9 times as much energy as is available from coal (420 GTEP), oil (189 GTEP) and gas (160 GTEP) combined (source: [2], page 6).

What you saw probably wasn’t an expert flying a small RC helicopter, but those can do things that I believe would appear to some people as being almost impossible. It’s not rare to see seemingly genuine online comments on these sorts of videos claiming they must be fake or sped up.

Yep pixel 2 here. Still going strong. Original battery still works well. No slowdowns occuring either.
I think we need a new term to communicate this as I don’t think people yet appreciate how replacing base load with intermittent sources will result in bad outcomes.

If you ever find yourself tempted to look down on or judge someone for getting roped up in a cult or simply spewing some dogma that you find ridiculous, please consider that UFOs (and a bunch of other conspiracy theories) are just religion for atheists.

Humans have a deep need, a very egotistical need in some ways, to feel like there's a bigger plan, that they're part of something and even that they're in possession with some secret knowledge the masses aren't.

It's not too dissimilar to those who jump on the trend of the latest fringe FTL technology idea. Warp drives, wormholes, space folding, whatever. Part of this comes from a genuine desire for some Star Trek or Star Wars future of visiting other stars without taking a lifetime to get there. But part of it is also some people realize that if the speed of light is a cosmic speed limit (my personal belief) then the idea of alien visitors and UFOs becomes truly ridiculous.
I was under the impression that "100%" charge, as displayed on the device, is not actually 100% battery charge, but instead limited to the ~90% like normally suggested. I've heard back and forth advice about this same topic for at least a decade now, with some people claiming that it's been built into the hardware/software the whole time.
“Dzi” is a nonstandard romanization for “ji”, both spellings refer to the same Japanese syllable “ジ”. Similarly for “lla” vs. “ra” (Japanese “ラ”). Thus both spellings “Godzilla” and “Gojira” refer to the same Japanese word “ゴジラ”. Here’s how it sounds like in Japanese: https://forvo.com/word/gojira/

Marcel Weiher has been stubbornly treading his own path for more than a decade. As the iOS/macOS world moves towards Swift, he goes back to Smalltalk principles. As Apple introduces SwiftUI to appease the webdev crowd raised on React, he builds his own small and efficient GUI story.

> No streaming service will guarantee you endless future access to a particular video

Apparently neither do Blue-Rays, since about 10 years from now hardware that will read them will become scarce.

In maybe another 5 years it will become an ordeal to get software that can bypass the DRM working on a recent system with whatever Blue-Ray drive you could scrounge up. This may be accelerated by such software becoming even more illegal to create and use.

Additionally these kinds of discs physically degrade within about fifty years tops. Some can become unreadable after a much shorter time. The time range "20-50 years" is often thrown around.

If you want to preserve something long term, the very first thing you should do is strip any DRM, then save it as a "dumb" format on long-term storage. Preferably decentralized with multiple backups (Torrent?).

This stuff can go incredibly quickly and it will become harder every year to salvage anything. I learned this the hard way with my library of .swf files, of which I only managed to convert a subset to video files (where applicable) so far. For now next to them I store a disk image of an OS (old debian+Firefox+Adobe Flash) that can play them - who knows how long that will keep working on future hardware?

Sometimes I wonder if this urge to preserve is patently ridiculous and we should learn to just... let things go.

In any case, the Blue-Rays sitting on your shelf aren't much better than some streaming service.
Niobium?
I read the article as well as the DEFCON presentation. I still don't know how they used voltage fault injection to bypass the secure boot. Anyone care to explain?
Like many others have said this is not true. I've had a nexus 4 (2012-2017) which I had to change due to battery starting to swell, also had a custom rom which might have helped. I upgraded to a Pixel2 in 2017 which I still have. I'm even considering replacing the battery instead of the whole phone since it's still doing just fine otherwise. I really don't need a better camera so why bother with a new phone that doesn't offer much more than what I already have.
Both of those phone are/were caseless too, just be careful with your stuff and you'll do just fine for a couple of years.

In my opinion people choose to change their phone more than they have to change their phone.
What do you see
I don't have the scientific background to really argue with you on this; I'm just an enthusiastic amateur.

That said: Big Bang does explain an awful lot of stuff. I'm not sure what JWST observations you say call it into question, but wouldn't we need a lot more data before advancing Big Bounce or something else as an alternative?
Somewhat cheeky but you're right. mpv is much better than VLC.
The idea of maintaining a seasoning on cast iron frying pans is too much of a pain in the ass. I wash it with soap and water and use olive oil or butter whenever I need to. The cognitive load is minimal and I don't have any usability issues.
I can't really recommend it, the keyboard is really bad, the keyboard backlight makes the keys harder to read, the backlight (on the LCD monitor anyway) is both too dim in the sun and too bright in the dark. Battery life is pretty good though (10-12 hours on Linux, ~8 on OpenBSD).

I can understand the misappropriation of funds to explain what was done but what I can't understand is the depth and number of layers required for the cover up. The amount of people starting at the maintenance, cleaning etc all the way through engineering, logistics, support to maintain such a cover up just seems impossible to me.

Academia has a serious problem with snobbery. Few other workplaces in the world have denser concentrations of people who think really highly of themselves, even though they wouldn't admit it openly and their preferred way of war is tons and tons of plausibly deniable passive aggression.

This snobbery problem opens a bigger chasm between the academics and the general public that would otherwise be necessary, and the political consequences down the line might be serious; if academics are perceived as out of touch, aloof and intentionally incomprehensible, the backlash won't be just anti-snobbish, but anti-intellectual, with possible dire consequences for the viability and vibrancy of Western civilization.

But the fact that popularizers like Bret Devereaux reap so much open disdain indicates that few activities are as unpopular among the gatekeepeers as building bridges across said chasm. A True Intellectual Must Be Dour At All Costs.
It looks like an increase from 330 million bushels "other spring wheat" in 2021 to 511 million bushels in 2022. This is out of a total of 1.65 billion bushels in 2021 and 1.78 billion bushels in 2022.

for comparison, Ukraine exports about 900 million bushels per year and Russia exports about 1.5 billion bushels per year.

We could also get rid of the storage problem by realizing it isn’t a problem to store a relatively tiny amount of solid waste. The irrational fear of it is mind boggling considering the vast quantities of dangerous gases and particulates we vent into the open air that we breathe without a second thought. I’d much rather have all of our energy by products in solid form safely contained and buried deep under the earth.
Anyone who has a startup knows that there is plenty of opportunity to do many different things as part of a 'single problem'. My own project requires me to wear many hats.

This is more than just naming things. It’s also that Ruby allows you to monkeypatch _any_ method, even if it’s a Kernel method or already defined by a library or framework (like Rails).

It’s extremely powerful, which is great! But I want a linter that tells me, “Hey - you’re monkeypatching that. I’m going to fail this build unless you explicitly indicate you know what you’re doing”.

I don’t know of a convincing linter that has a complete solution to this. Feel free to chime in if you know of one! I’m guessing this is possible in Rubinius, but not sure about the standard Ruby VM.

i'm talking working on projects with people whose first encounter with make is in a project where someone else has defined a Makefile to wrap imperative actions, e.g. `make run-unit-tests`, `make deploy`. If they think about make at all, there's a good chance they think make is for performing imperative actions, and has nothing specifically to do with producing files from other files using rules and a dependency graph, or the idea of a target being a file, or a target being out of date.
Banning quickly, then unbanning slowly, usually by special request, works just fine for authoritarians. If it matters to enough people, you'll hear about it, and if it matters to important or wealthy people it will create an opportunity for graft/partnership. So, now that VLC (for example) has called you to get you to unban their software, you can call them later to get a feature removed or put in, or just free/discounted consulting on how to block objectionable streams (for example), with a vague threat of rebanning hanging over the discussion.

Indonesia just banned the entire foreign internet (without the west caring), and is requiring sites that want to operate within the country to apply for whitelisting.
