I can see a lot of uses for macros, but in this case C# has a "using" keyword and the designers have put a lot of thought into it and how it is called in a wide variety of situations. Lisp was a language developed in a world when people worked on their own cars, like me. I would have loved Lisp if I had found it earlier, like about the time I rebuilt my VW engine in the 80's.
A also think they are not directly related. I would think Tolkien is talking about Authoritarian Power of governments. i.e. don't vote Fascists into power.

When I hear how far into evil will somebody go, I think of an individuals choices to do evil for a perceived the greater good.

Kind of related, but not quite the same.
I have been using Kubernetes for my side projects and personal home services for almost 5 years now. I only ever have 1 pod per service and I deploy pretty infrequently.

For me its because how much easier Kubernetes makes my life. I'm using digital ocean's managed kubernetes offering. This means I don't have to worry about the cluster. The OS and updates and all that are managed for me. Same thing with cluster scaling. I just keep adding or removing services and they make sure the cluster is right sized. Basically I just dont ever have to worry about infra.

The next nice thing is the community support. Do I want a load balancer/reverse proxy with auto certificate renewal? It's a simple install command away from running. How about a HA database? MFA? Block storage? It's like magic.

The third thing is that most services are going to have a pretty similar deployment/testing strategy. So when I want to stand up a new one. I can copy 2 or 3 files from another repo, do a find and replace on the App name and port number and deploy a new service with just one command. Again, its like magic.

While I dont use this feature, I like the fact that I know I can move my setup to anywhere I want. Move my cluster into my house? on another cloud provider? This would be really easy to lift and shift.
I think the parent comment was familiar with that and was asking whether we could also do the same for these fish.

I understand what freedom of speech is. I've weighed the options and still can't see how you could defend that site. No need to be patronizing.

In any case, the post has been flagged. You win.

> Japan is follow allow under international law to build everything required for civil nuclear.

I didn't actually know this. That makes it possibly viable to maybe have some nuclear in the mix. But using it for peaking is still patently absurd, and banking your country's energy security on a bottle neck of one corporation is still an amazing way to make that corporation very rich and everyone else poor.

> There are breeder reactors, you don't need to mine or buy much U-235. You can literally easily create a repository with thorium/uranium for the next 100 years. Not to mention the existing fuel.

So now we're up to air cooled breeder reactors with 3x surplus capacity. What does that cost, $500/MWh plus massive publicly funded security costs?

> Now you are just trolling. But I guess if you don't have actual argument.

No. That's what portable energy means. Not a synonym for power lines. High density disconnected sources like H2 and fuels. Current generation batteries only have limited applicability for trucking, flight, and shipping. Upcoming techs don't improve energy density as cost and abundance whilst maintaining enough density for passenger cars are the primary focus. Green fuels solve this but only work with energy that costs a tiny fraction of the cost of nuclear such as wind and solar. Hydrogen has potential here if metal hydrides can be made cheaply and without exotic materials (and synergises well with nuclear because e->H2->e is more efficient than other fuels so you don't need surplus capacity for peaking). You can also move hundreds of gigawatts through a pipeline if needs be, so fuels have relevance in a world where wires are struggling to meet primary energy demand at reasonable cost.

> You should really learn about high temperature reactors.

TEGs as a first stage are slightly more promising than the same old brayton cycle at ~600 degrees, but they only improve efficiency marginally and you still need either masses of water, a huge massively expensive cooling stack (which still raises average temperature), or more area and cost than a solar farm to dump your 40-60% waste heat. They're also yet to prove cost efficient compared to solar as operating at 1000-2000 degrees is pretty hard on anything. "High temperature" gas based heat exchangers are still less efficient and much more expensive than gas burning turbines which are starting to struggle to be cost competitive with solar.

Let it die. Nuclear has always been an option with massive negative tradeoffs in terms of how it shifts balance of power and has only been viable by mandating that the public insure them for free (like footing a trillion dollar bill for cleaning up fukushima which alone would have been enough to turn off every fossil fuel plant in the country any time there was sun or wind). Now we don't even have to consider those factors because they're also economically stupid on every level.
Absolutely! My point is that if you are making an agreement for a specific person to perform the work instead of worrying about the outcome itself, perhaps you are really seeking employment instead of a contractual agreement.
This sounds like the origin story for Child of Men.
Why not just turn off foreign key checks during migrations and after validating the data, turn them back on? SQL Server lets you do this.
Legally they are sometimes responsible anyway, but by warning they can get out of some because you shouldn't have been where there damage happened and were warned. If a truck passes you and something from it hits you they are liable, but.if you are following too close that is your own fault and the warning can help make that clear.
> Dense cities don't really matter that much

Are you sure? My understanding is that people who live in dense cities rely less on automobiles, have their waste treated more efficiently, and consume less energy per capita in order to enjoy clean air and water. Those factors are more important than the land mass required to feed someone.
2 big mac meals at McDonald's were a bit over $24.00. That's before the wage hike. Everyone needs a just wage so I can see why the minimum wage is going up. But at some point automation will kick in which will make the workers worse off. I wonder what will happen then?
We have no idea if character arcs and payoffs are well set up in the first two episodes because we haven't seen if anything is paid off or resolved later. It's been a while but I remember the first season of Game of Thrones being similarly slow and ponderous to start with. I enjoy the slower pace, it suits the scale of the conflict and it suits the source material which never felt like it needed to hurry along.
Are you aware of a better implementation though? It might not be perfect; it's still miles ahead of competing systems. Yes, it makes mistakes. But that's a rather poor argument to dismiss the whole strategy and technology.

From my point of view, Tesla is converging on good enough more rapidly than anyone else in the industry. Courtesy of their AI strategy and technology; including the in house developed chips.

There is a famous photograph from the White House of Obama stopping to fist bump a janitor with a mop. It would be a great illustration for this blog post.
It is an old debate. You can get into awkward situations when you save and restore tables, everything has to happen in the right order and there's always the fear of some circular situation.

I'm remembering the time I was working at a place that had a huge number of Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server and mysql databases and I was the first person they'd hired who knew how to do joins and they thought it was pretty scary.
> For a single user environment as is likely the case for most static websites? Yeah, it's just needless complexity.

Hard disagree. As I said above and you ignored it (no clue why): I want to have a history of my static website.

> In fact, you lost me at "static site generator". WTF? Just write the damn HTML and CSS yourself, it's static after all.

I can and I don't want to. Markdown is tons easier, you write out an article, execute one command, push the updated HTML+CSS files to GIT and you're done. If we're talking about simplicity let's not ignore that scenario because it really is quite simple.

I got a backlog of 30 things to work on and 500+ to check out "one day when I have the time". Going back to hand-crafting HTML is likely at spot #1784 in my brain. It's a meaningless paperwork that can and must be outsourced to computers.

Not me. And I suspect most of the rest of us here couldn’t either.

Most of us would wipe a few sinks, and leave as soon as we found something more “fitting” of the class we believe ourselves to be in.

That’s quitting a job, not doing a job. Doing any kind of hard labor for a career takes something that most of us tech people simply don’t have.

I stopped watching after they butchered a snow troll for no reason.

According to the books, a gentle creature, that gets easily scared. The right way to calm it down involves tickling.

But Galadriel chopped up every single part of its body. Twirling around unnecessarily while doing so, after having shot it up with 6 arrow. For this reason I have elected to cancel my prime membership.
I don't agree, I think Tolkien was also talking about individual choices. Remember this bit?

> “What a pity Bilbo did not stab the vile creature, when he had a chance!

> Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need.

> I do not feel any pity for Gollum. He deserves death.

> Deserves death! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give that to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.”

And it was that small individual mercy that ultimately saved the world.
Fair point. But that’s the only justification given in the article for the negative reviews, which I think gives the impression that the bulk of negative reviews are coming from said trolls. I think it would have been worthwhile to at least mention some of the legitimate criticism the show has received (pacing, dialogue, straying from Tolkien in other ways, one-dimensional characters, etc.)

Here’s a recent example: They investigated guys who robbed Verizon stores, which led them to guys who bought phones from those guys, and wholesalers who then bought phones from those middlemen and exported the stolen phones to Hong Kong and Dubai. The value of the fraudulently obtained or stolen phones in the above case is about 100 million dollars and has resulted in various leads ranging from rogue carrier employees unlocking phones to drug cartels using cash to buy phones as part of a trade based money laundering scheme (see also https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.85...)
I have used carbon fiber tape in place of rods to good effect. I agree that a proper spar is critical for handling the loads. To be more precise, you need to deal with shear and torsional loads. These super-light cheap planes will easily turn into a taco in flight without care given to forces that will crush the foam. Even a layer of packing tape on top and bottom surfaces is better than just foamboard. I've had a couple of these planes over the years. I don't really enjoy them. I'm into high performance gliders (e-powered), ducted fan jets or helicopters.

I can't find a citation but I recall that computers agreed with the moves of grandmasters from the pre-computer era about 60% of the time.

Generally, the biggest heuristic for identifying cheating is identifying somebodies moves share statistical similarity to the top moves of common engines (Especially stockfish). This doesn't really work after a single game, but anybody playing the top move of stockfish 90% of the time over 100 games is a cheater. Nobody that isn't cheating can do that. Cheaters are savvy though, they will notice in a position there are maybe 5 decent moves they can choose from, so for just that position they will choose stockfish's 5th choice. Or maybe they'll only check the engine at the most critical moments of the game and turn the engine off and play normally afterwards. Notice that the person being debated in this article is somebody with a history of cheating, the evidence they cheated in this specific game is likely not as good as the evidence they are just generally a cheater.

On top of this more empirical analysis, there's more subjective analysis. Humans tend to try to simplify games when they're ahead to reduce computational complexity, but computers don't do this as it's not a good strategy for a computer. Humans will tend to follow a narrative and follow a general idea throughout a game with ideas they calculated earlier in the game or in their preparation, whereas computers don't care about narratives and will completely switch plans on a dime. In the endgame the computer starts having a LOT of winning moves that it hasn't calculated to the end and can start making very offbeat choices, whereas humans tend to use a set of rote memorised strategies that are known wins. Again though, a skilled cheater realises all this and will choose weaker more human-like moves that are probably the engines 2nd or 3rd choice.

There's also metadata. Cheaters usually take a few seconds to think about a move that a human would make instantly (this came up in the article where it took the cheater 20 seconds to make their first move), they probably exhibit different browser/app interaction habits. Humans have all sorts of particularities about UI interaction and time management. A lot of people play blitz and bullet chess because cheaters struggle to cheat convincingly under time pressure.

> Not US-based

Most of the European and Asian countries (apart from China) are far more advanced with payment cards. Many not only have their own networks with 0-1% commission, compared to 2-4% on Master/Visa/Amex, but also have long required 2FA for online payments.

They might be less tech savvy users, in that they will be taken as a surprise if a car rental company posted a temporary authorization or if someone charged your new card after you renewed it (Stripe can do it), but SMS/email 2FA is quite frictionless nowadays.

US was in fact one of the last countries to commonly issue EMV (chip) cards.
Just using the file system is inadequate for some reasons that TFA mentions. For instance, returning gzip or Brotli compressed versions of resources, or returning HTTP 301/302 redirects for certain requests.

Also if you use CloudFront be aware you'll be paying for bandwidth, so if one of your pieces goes viral (or you're just a popular writer) the cost can be surprisingly high (over $50/mo).

I've worked on a couple of systems that use foreign keys (and other constraints) specifically after a migration to ensure all the migrated data is consistent, but then drop them again to reduce the performance overhead of having them checked during production use.
I mean, yes, that’s right. The primary contractor runs the job site, manages who’s allowed to be on the site, and will absolutely complain if the known subcontractors smuggle in random unauthorized people to run cabling. It’s not like they’re being obnoxious just to make money; in construction, as in software, there are many regulatory and compliance related reasons that who does the work matters.
Based on 5 minutes of reading about Grover's algorithm, I don't see how a practical quantum computer (an analog system) can repeat an operation 2^64th times to break an 128 bit key without some bias towards interaction in the qubits involved. You'd have to have 1/(2^128) attenuation between each and every channel for that to even work reliably. That's 380 dB of signal to noise ratio. Typically 40 or 50 dB of isolation is all you get between channels in communications systems.

[Edit -- Additional considerations]
In order for Grover's algorithm to work, you have to implement your conventional algorithm in Quantum hardware, with perfect fidelity. Digital computers can do this just fine because every gate is also a comparator, so signal to noise ratio isn't an issue. I fail to see how a quantum gate can possibly operate with enough fidelity to even just copy the input state after 2^64 stages, let alone complex logic AND the Grover Diffusion Operator.

My biggest problem with it so far is the overall stylistic look and feel. It's like someone is trying to recreate Ted Nasmith's epic paintings with living people and CGI, and the result just looks awkward rather than epic.

Same thing about the dialogs: the "epic prose" style would work on paper, but not so much in a live action movie.
I'm pretty sure v2 and v1 functions are totally separate. If you run `gcloud functions list --log-http`, you can see that gcloud makes separate calls to the v2 and v1 apis in order to present a unified list of all functions.
I have a couple of old Core 2 Duo machines (2006-2008) and the web is largely fine on those, so long as you have uBlock Origin installed and make a point to avoid the sites that haphazardly slather on Javascript.

Honestly a Core 2 Duo has more than enough power to cover the overwhelming majority of web site/app use cases if only developers cared about optimization.
It’s not a bad thing. More jobs would move to high skill sector as we educate all our kids. And of course, automation would mean less ‘repetitive manual jobs’. I think that this is a preface to the upcoming automation shift.

Trailers are not suitable replacements for reviews. They are edited and packaged to deliver hyped expectation via self-congratulatory endorsement.

Reviews are better than trailers. You could stick to reviews from news publishers if you don't trust user reviews. Here's a snippet of the Washington Post's review of Rings of Power:

"The performances are serviceable but unremarkable, while the dialogue is particularly corny and inartful... Rarely has danger felt so dull."

I once had power brakes fail in my car, (vacuum line leak, rubber connections disintegrated with age, thus: no turbo and no brakes) but needed to go on 300 km trip (in hindsight, I contracted get-there-itis and this was unnecessary risk). At first: woah, I have no brakes! But after few minutes I got used that I need to stand on the pedal and it somewhat braked. But it was surprising when I finally replaced that rubber piece: obviously I knew about this, but for first few stops I slammed the brakes hard anyway.

Unknown to all in LOTR, while the volcano is hot, it has cooled in the thousands of years since the ring's forging. It does not completely dissolve the ring, instead, it melts yet remains together.

It was the same with most recent Star Treks too, including all of the new movies. They may as well have been titled “Generic Sci Fi Movie” and “Generic Sci Fi TV Show”

Strange New Worlds is the only Star Trek in a long, long time that has been worthy of the name Star Trek.

But well known and deeply loved IPs sell, so we get a ton of generic media with the name slapped on it.

> Part of being a contractor by IRS standards is being able to subcontract.

Yes, but the contractor must still respect the other contractual obligations.

For example, they almost certainly signed a contract that they wouldn't share the codebase (NDA) or share access to the company's systems. The contractor would have clearly violated this by giving the code to someone else to work on and giving that person access to the company's Slack under someone else's name.

If he would have subcontracted an isolated task involving no trade secrets, no confidential information, and no access to the company's systems he would have been fine.

But you can't just hire someone in Romania and have them pretend to be you and log in with your credentials and have access to the company's proprietary materials. Being a contractor isn't an automatic license to ignore all of the things you've agreed to.

Trivialities in logistics and their impact on you as a person are two different things.
