Similar here. Got my current laptop exactly three years before Framework launched, and it's still holding out unfortunately (hated this lenovo from the start, but a shame to trash it, and wouldn't wish it upon others so second hand feels crappy also). Then again, the current 13" Framework laptops are too tiny anyway (my old man's eyes can't see pixels that small (I'm 30), would have to do constant zooming and UI scaling...). Very much hoping they've got a regular 15.x" offering by the time this laptop finally gives up the ghost because I'm almost certainly getting one of these Frameworks!

the head of security is responsible for getting buy-in from the organization on security measures, that's what makes them the head

"you can't convince someone who doesn't want convincing" is also a weak cop-out that would be totally unacceptable as an attitude of the head of anything. As head of IT Security, part of your JOB is convincing people who aren't convinced (easily played off as 'they don't want convincing' by people who fail to convince them)

if a head of IT Security came to me as a CEO and lamented "the organization isn't doing what I tell them to do", I feel like an appropriate question is, "what do you plan to do about it?" or "what options do you have in mind to get them to?" Every CEO knows security is a pain, they hire executives in order to delegate pains away
I used Crystal to create a web application a 2-3 years ago. It is running great without any problems. There are not that many users (only about 300-400) at any time. Anyhow, I did not touch the application in the last two years, and did not use Crystal in the last two years for anything else. I used Rust to write some simple personal CLI apps, which was fun but also hard. For some reason, couple of days back I returned to Crystal for a CLI app that I am making. I will say this: Crystal is a lot of fun to program in, easy to use and performant all at the same time. I cannot explain the reasons objectively, but it is really a joy to use Crystal. I think I will be using it from now on. I just wish it had a bigger community and as a result more libraries.

I stupidly thought this was going to be an article about how it's much more likely that schmoozer types are able to fund their projects, leaving others in the dust, but instead it mostly just rails against regulation.

At the time, my stance on the Marc Andreessen article was "because we have systematically defunded basic scientific research since the early 2000's", and I stand by that. To me, government funding of research is the only current mechanism by which non-schmoozers are able to get their projects funded (though admittedly, it's super flawed and also involves a bit of political positioning/having the right partnerships/etc).

It was my bad, my script was still running a different fork. Seeing <10 second times with those parameters now. 13.6 seconds for an 3072 × 2048 upscaled image, which I'm particularly happy about.
so in your example the database thread is the Redis thread and the worker thread are your http server thread I assume.

This is a good analogy, but there are still lot of wire heavy scenario a real database like postgresql or mysql will have better throughput than redis.
If all cables had to be complaint with all features we would see economies of scale that are never going to happen in the current market.

The high speed cable might never be as cheap as €7, but in a couple years it could be €9-11.

I'm sure at some point high speed cables will be a lot cheaper than they are now, but as long as the make up a small percentage of the market they will command a big premium.

Where do you think Biden's trillions in extra spending is coming from? Not from raising taxes.
I don't think this is particularly fair. This is literally hours old, and people installing now are really debugging rather than installing a "finished" build.

The forks are weird mashups of bits of repos, and running on a M1 GPU is something that barely works itself.

Give it maybe 3 months and it will be much smoother.

Yes. I was pretty weirded out when my ATM card was rejected for being locked out of my account, and when I went into the bank when it opened the next day, the teller sent me to talk to a bank official, after a little investigation they compared I think the fax of the photo in drive through to me (I remember seeing the person in the car), and made me sign a document saying I was not involved and would help them prosecute the case if they caught the person who did it, and created a new account for me with my money in it after a few days.
The GUI space is one of those areas that Microsoft has done pretty poorly on, in my opinion. What they've created is so convoluted. They have Windows Forms, WPF, UWP, WinUI, .NET MAUI, and Xamarin Forms, and then there's third party toolkits like Uno Platform and Avalonia. It's all over the place, and it's somewhat frustrating, because I think Microsoft is poised to be one of the only companies that has the ability to "solve" cross-platform GUI development.
Everyone complained constantly when 95-XP got viruses if you looked at them and you had to buy terrible AV programs and it still wasn’t enough.

Now the OS takes care of the vast majority of it and problems aren’t rampant.

And what do we do? Complain it might be slowing things down. That it’s taking away control. That if we want to load a virus on our computers the OS should never question us. And don’t forget this is a secret conspiracy to track us.

There’s no winning. Poor OSes. Always doing it wrong.

I recall watching a YouTube video a little while back that went into the modern history of light aircraft engines, and how there have been several failed attempts at redesigning existing technology over the past 20 (40?) years.

Is it genuinely workable? Or is there some weird edge case that makes it completely impractical from a maintenance or reliability perspective?
Thanks. I didn't know this was a thing!
What it needs is extensions that go up to 3 kW so that it can replace power outlets worldwide.

It's totally possible to deliver 3kw in the form factor of USBC safely. Obviously there needs to be extra circuitry in both ends of the connection, but that extra circuitry should still be cheaper than today's thick dumb AC cables.
On my laptop generating it takes ~1s and sorting takes ~280ms. As always, dependent on the power of the machine running things.

Yeah this isn't rocket science. Saving every old home in the city is not a winning long term solution. We need more homes in these places people want to live.
I haven't done any deep research on the topic but know of several specific fatal cases off the top of my head. It's not like someone dies every day, but for every reported case there are probably many that don't get reported as such.

The much more common case is getting stuck and needing a rescue. Google maps is absolutely terrible at dirt roads. It will confidently give you directions that make absolutley no sense once you get away from pavement. It never got me stuck anywhere, but easily could have many times if I had been less cautious. Nowadays I know to ignore those directions in less developed areas.

I think the broader point is that driving navigation tech is getting fairly good at happy path cases but is woefully underdeveloped outside of that.

Hi, blue state New York here.

I have no idea what actual percentage of the state's land is farms, but...I'm certainly surrounded by them. Many miles of farmland; plenty, at least, to supply the people around here, if used efficiently.

The idea that "blue states are urban" and "red states are rural" is just plain wrong. There are cities in red states (though some red states don't have any large cities in them), and there's plenty of rural land in blue states.

Welcome to nuance.
Then it doesn’t satisfy the opposition’s requirement, and they happen to be stronger than the ones behind the “simple” solution.

They are an active party, so you can’t just say “it works, but only if these people don’t exist”. This means the “simple” solution only applies to an imaginary world, and an actual solution requires a lot more thought and adjustment to accommodate for the reality of the problem.

A lot of times information like this is used with parallel construction. So they never need to defend the accuracy of the data in court cause it's mainly used to direct the findings that will presented at trial.

Let me give a hypothetical example, witness says the see a Ford Bronco leaving a murder scene. Police use this data to find all people in the area at the time of the crime. They then look to see which of those people in the area at the time are registered owners of a Ford Bronco. However, instead of presenting this data they used in court court to see was in the area they will then for instance search for instance traffic camera footage. Moreover, since they have detailed location information now know what traffic cameras to check or what gas stations to subpoena for camera footage ect.. Then they probably get a warrant for that persons car and house or start watching that person ect...

However, what gets presented at trial is the Witness saying they saw a Ford Bronco and the camera footage. Nothing about the detailed phone tracking information. Basically parallel construction allows the LEO and the prosecutor avoid what is colloquially called fruit of the poisoned tree.

I will suggest that intentionally strengthening local communities and limiting travel and such is a potential antidote to presumably repeating this scenario.

I gave up on waiting for one with AMD cores, come July.

It was not easy to find an AMD laptop with 4K 16" screen and socketed RAM at 32G... I had to accept one with an Nvidia GPU (3060M) in it I won't use, and which nouveau turns out not to support. So, no HDMI until that gets fixed.
Are the bring-your-own-OS editions not available in Aus? I'm seeing some right below this press release, but I'm browsing from Canada.

I also received a Framework just today, and it had no preinstalled OS.

I don't think I made any criticisms of rust. I just pointed out it clearly has the most evangelical communit, a point which I think you helped support. I didn't even mention GP or his criticism.

None of those languages had as many rewrites as rust (which is a testament to how good the language actually is) nor did they have the same eventually obnoxious meme.

And yes, I am making sweeping generalizations about the community based on a couple of incidents. Incidents that have never happened in any other language communities I've participated in. Didn't official rust moderation team essentially quit relaticely recently because some business with the core team? I don't really care about the details. Rust is too smart for me, but I like using it anyway. I'm happy to stay separate from the community around it though.

> "don't be monopolistic assholes" is in the constitution and laws of several countries,

No it's not. People who formulate laws are specific, unless they're either creating a law that is intended to be ignored, or if they're creating a law meant for selective enforcement.

You can check every constitution and law code all day, you're never going to find anything telling anyone not to impede the attempts of an application not to constantly scrape their webpage. This kind of talk is purposeless.

You might have to worry about a sufficiently advanced GPT giving out your credit card information though!
I did prove it, and all you can manage is to question (and not even question it, really) the source. Weak, weak. And if you assert it's not a coverup, then show us how they covered it. That isn't too much to ask.

You are demanding I prove a negative: that it was deliberately covered up. No, you need to show how it was NOT covered up. That only takes a reference or two.

As is your second paragraph: to only say "other disinformation looks like this, so we're just going to go with that and ignore it, instead of digging deeper into it" is what a press outlet that's in the tank does. It's not what an objective outlet does.

Having a place to eat at home is not a luxury feature, unless the city has a population density that is high enough to support having a broad array of dining options that are open for most of the day. Tokyo is one example of such a city, but having restaurants that are open 24x7 is not common at all in Europe.
Yes it could, once.
I didn't follow the case of Europe, but I did follow a bit the US.

Take a look at the first graph in [1]. Roughly speaking at this point the US gets 20% electricity from each of coal, renewable and nuclear and 40% from natural gas. In 1990 gas and renewables were standing both at around 10% (renewables in those times were just hydro). Gas went up exponentially to get to 4 times as high now. Renewables double, but that is deceiving. Hydro stayed constant, and wind and solar went from 0 to 10%. Nuclear was roughly constant for the last 20 years.

How do we get from here to net zero? It's quite simple actually: keep replacing coal with natural gas and renewables. In about 5 years coal should get to essentially zero. Then start keep growing renewables, and start replacing natural gas. Keep nuclear constant if possible. 2050 for net zero is easily achievable.

But that's maybe because, as you said, the US is in a nearly ideal position.

In EU, start by replacing all coal by nat gas. That's the best bang for the buck in terms of reducing emissions. Keep growing solar and wind. When the sun doesn't shine, and the wind doesn't blow, run the nat gas stations. In one decade or at most 15 years, we'll start shipping liquefied hydrogen. Most likely we'll convert the current LNG carriers to LH2 carriers. We should be able to convert nat gas power plants to hydrogen power plants. The EU is investing more than $100 BN into the hydrogen economy. It will work. 2050 will be doable. Not as doable as in the US, but still doable.
