Somewhat surprised its not Dublin. Given the flight of fintech FROM london because of brexit barriers to trade, If I was seeking a stable environment for EU facing business, Dublin looks plausible.

Not really sure the UK power budget is much better TBH. I "get" that Germany has gas supply issues, but the UK is facing domestic supply price freezes and it is likely "surplus" power is at a premium.

A good time to be in IETF green-internet standards development! reduce the network and datacenter budget impact. (also a good time to move off proof-of-work if you dig chains)
I frequently seek out the original press releases and they're usually pretty clear, but are then dumbed down to something thought to be digestible by the general public. "Masks work!" say Experts. "No they don't!" say these other two.

Which "masks"? "Work" by what metric? Under what circumstances? Or, is it as the True Believers and Most Faithfully Devoted to Science might have it: that all masks are effective against all things in all situations (or at least certainly have some kind of effect)?

With regard to <masks>, The Science™ really has never been controversial and has not changed significantly since the start of the pandemic, but they used "masks won't work [to keep you from inhaling it] (so don't buy them all)" early on to ease supply chain problems, followed by "masks do work [like covering your mouth when you cough]", resulting in what might have been the dumbest two years of public discourse in the history of humanity, inclusive of The Burning Years, as at least it might be said that they genuinely didn't know whether or not witches floated.

There was never any ambiguity or confusion among Science™ or Medicine™ or Public Health Policy™ here - only among the loud and clueless - 1000% the result of mismanaged communications and a thousand know-nothings echoing calls (largely along Red and Blue lines) to Do The Thing or Not Do The Thing.

Perhaps we need to create a new degree program for, among other things, interpreting and reporting on press releases such that extremely basic facts and terms of art aren't mixed up.

This is really cool. I was playing around with a similar concept myself a few years ago (trying to build something React-esque, but for Python GUIs). It was way over my head then though, so I've never got anything more than a proof of concept working.

Check out the cool / weird DSL though!

All I ever want to know is what line of code in MY code is in the stack trace. Maybe I’m doing it wrong but this is a regular pain point for me.

Sometimes I’ll even get Python or JS traces that don’t even list a single line of my own code.

In these heady days of the mid-90s, I lived in Santa Cruz and worked as a consultant in Silicon Valley. I entrusted my girlfriend with all the toys that mattered, so naturally I picked up a QuickCam and we put it on her PC (although she had previously been an Amiga nerd).

She spent hours on Cu-SeeMe and most of that time was as a porn magnet. She absolutely attracted guys who immediately sent live dick pics. So how does my lovely girlfriend respond but to capture and catalog all of them. She absolutely screenshotted every single one of those pics as they came in; she didn't waste a lot of time engaging anyone, but her collection grew to epic proportions. I'm not entirely sure why she kept it around; it wasn't for blackmail or publication, that's for sure.
At that point I believe that if software wasn't written Docker-first it will just be plainly shit to manage as Docker container.

Docker containers more often than not are a crutch for app that have absolute shitshow install process to just bake that process in Dockerfile instead of making it more sensible in the first place.

Not the person you replied to, but I do the same thing and by default no.

So the definition of what a service is shrinks down really to a deployment artefact; each "service" is deployed individually as its own process (container). All shared data is persisted via a single REST-style API service. We nearly went all the way and deployed PostgREST for this but some specifics around security and a few other aspects stopped us. But in spirit, that is how it is architected : data persistence is a service that all the other "services" use.

The nice thing about this is you do still get a lot of the upsides. Because deployment is decoupled, you don't to have everybody constrained to the same development cycle. Service A can stay pinned at a specific version while service B is advanced to hotfix a critical change. Meanwhile Service C isn't blocked from deployment because Service A's tests are still failing. And we don't have to (necessarily) roll back Service D if prod deployment of Service E failed. etc etc.
I.. wasn't replying to you? And I wasn't referring to you or the person I was replying to specifically anyways, but the common sentiment whenever this comes up.

But it is absolutely a common misconception that fusion is very well funded when, given the challenges involved, it is funded quite poorly. If it was well funded, ITER might have been finished 20 years ago.

That said I think the results would have been disappointing, it doesn't really seem like material science was there yet and it's not clear more money thrown at it then would have gotten us there.

Imo I think even if you think it's a boondoggle it'd be better to fund it well (much better than we are) now and find out than drag this slow march of wasted money on old designs and ideas out forever. The ITER funding should have probably gone to something more like milestone awards and letting a bunch of paths proliferate.
Apple asks you if you want to keep or cancel your subscription when you uninstall an app that has an active sub. There’s also several entry points to the UI, including from the App Store and Settings. Ideally there’d be a deep link option for other apps to link into it, but I’d say Apple clearly has a better experience and makes it easier to cancel these subscriptions.

A common complaint is that these (U.S) regulatory agencies are too removed from the legislative/democratic process.

But a quick search for “FTC” suggests this might be an agency I’m interested in supporting.

But how does one go about doing so? How does one go about providing some sort of support to a one-or-more level removed regulatory agency?

> The state of a qubit contains all of its information. This state is frequently expressed as a vector on the Bloch sphere. This state can be changed by applying linear transformations or quantum gates to them. These unitary transformations are described as rotations on the Bloch Sphere. While classical gates correspond to the familiar operations of Boolean logic, quantum gates are physical unitary operators.
Well, I don't think it's negative exceptionalism because I don't think our economy has been sinking since decades ago. I also don't think those other countries should be held as successes either. There are also historical events (impacting the economy and social climate) that make all those countries different.

Props to you for acknowledging Bolivia's success though! (Anti-props for thinking Chile is a success. An economic "boom" based on inequality and bloodshed).
Yes. But in a single database instance. The Service Oriented Monolith also applies to the database.

I spent years reading on here about how microservices are bad, but I don't understand how you can avoid them when everything has to be in a container network to run. Airflow workers, containers that wrap GPL licensed code, little FastAPI interfaces to Bokeh functions, a customized Keycloak. Everything has its own dependencies and deploy process. We have like eight developers and seventeen git repos and I have no idea how to keep it from getting worse.
Seconded.

I wouldn't. I would group them in logical groups, with the principle of moving complexity closer to where the data is.

A "Users" service might have crud operations, and maybe a few report generators that can run SQL against the Users database. But the "Users" services should not have access to "Account Balance" service, e.g. Then say, the KYC service can access the Users and the Account Balance services and then do a manual join on the data.

But say if KYC is directly accessing the Users database and the User table schema changes drastically, not only do you have to change the Users services, but you have to change KYC and coordinate KYC to deploy their changes at the same time your database changes.

The big problem is if the coupling is too tight, then it's hard to refactor in the future. OTOH if the coupling is too loose, then you might be making lots of overhead in computing when you could drastically simplify it by a tighter coupling of code.

The right answer I believe is to move the complexity close to where the data is. So maybe there is some complex KYC calculation on the Users service that is trivially solved by a custom SQL statement on the Users table. In this case it should probably be in the Users service even if it's only used by KYC, if this makes sense.
It’s a trade off.

One of the benefits of living in a rural area/area without HOA is that you can do many things that you wouldn’t be allowed to elsewhere.

One of the dangers is that your neighbors can do the same.

Is there any data/studies that proves that derelict properties actually drag down adjacent property values? My own anecdata and property valuation suggest otherwise, but I hear the property value line often enough that I would like to know if it’s true.
Wait, what did you learn in home ec? I had that class but learned things like sewing and baking.
The Braille Institute provides all kinds of assistance to partial- and non-sighted individuals. Not limited to the kinesthetic alphabet known as “Braille”. For example, teaching echolocation (yes, for humans) and how to use a cane to navigate safely.

This font is an example of how the institute helps the partially-sighted, like for example, people with glaucoma or macular degeneration.

Disagree. Microsoft sells these as "unskilled", but at the end of the day, you still need skill but also perseverance.

At least SQL is old enough to get plenty of relevant search results. You can be a copy-paste DJ if you really can't figure it out.
WA, OR, and CA have all passed state laws to stay on DST. Waiting on federal govt to allow it.
To put it differently, logical separation of state doesn't have to mean physical separation of state. One Postgres instance can hold your whole app's state -- just, put each service's data into a separate database within Postgres. I've done this and I like it a lot.
Hi. Sorry if I didn’t made this clear. By curated I meant images that were security scanned and approved before being published on the company internal registry. Those images shouldn’t have the issues listed on the link you posted.
The linked article mentions something particularly interesting: the "Mobile Accessory Dwelling Unit" rules that a few cities are putting in place.

I'm guessing this means that you can designate a part of your property, install suitable hookups (water/sewer/electricity) using RV standards, and then find a tenant who will be bringing their own mobile unit (tiny home/RV).

That's...quite good. Landlords can interview tenants and inspect their rigs to make sure they're in good shape/suitable. The mobility of the unit becomes more important, so the tenant can keep their bargaining power. Landlords get something too -- they don't have to build expensive living space, and there's definitely less involved in ending a lease (the tenant is much more able to move their dwelling, which should stay in the "ready to move state").
That might be a 25-50% tax on very cheap beer. It’s a regressive tax but would likely serve its desired goals, at least reducing consumption for poorer people. Or simply push them to really cheap liquor like a handle of cheap vodka that goes for $10.
Not necessarily, this is an implementation detail.

Azure Application Insights for example streams events to a log file asynchronously. A crash is typically captured as a memory snapshot crash dump anyway, so if the entire process terminates then you have something that's probably superior to a text log!

If you open the crash dump, you can inspect the in-memory buffer of log events directly in a debugger.

If the operation fails internally with an exception, then the logs are captured as normal including the exception details.

Asynchronous logging is dramatically more efficient. Or to put it another way, synchronous logging often causes performance bottlenecks that surprises developers.

If you do want "live" logs equivalent to viewing the tail of a text file, most systems (such as App Insights mentioned above) can dynamically switch from async to sync mode and stream all events second-by-second.
This was a thing in late 90s spam.

Good article but he left out the trickery. There were often hydralics, gears, and so forth so that lighting the pryre just outside the door of the temple would cause "the God" to slowly open the temple doors. Dazzled the plebes. Some remnants of these mechanisms survives in other Greek temples.
At least PostgreSQL's query optimizer can and will drop `LEFT JOIN` clauses if the data is not actually being used. It can't do that for `INNER JOIN` because it must verify that a matching row exists.
No wonder you think it needs help if you write it like that in one line with no indentation and insufficient capitalization.

It was a good query, I'd have done something similar to replicate.

I can guarantee you that it's not intentional. It was definitely easier to estimate in the past, when a single query was fired on a single corpus for a given user input, but modern web search is vastly more complicated than this.

2000 people dead is bad of course, but there's 7.5 billion people on the planet right now, so it's not much really.

I really feel like you're looking at a worst-case scenario, comparing it to living in modern civilization, and concluding that modern civilization can't possibly survive such an extreme climactic change, and then concluding that humans will go extinct. I'm sorry, but that simply does not logically follow. Civilization can be destroyed, but this is quite different from all humans going extinct. The Mad Max movies may be fictional, but they do show how humans are able to survive in very extreme conditions, which has been proven countless times in history by humans who really did survive in extreme conditions (go talk to the Innuit for instance). Will 7.5B humans survive in such conditions? Obviously not. Will a few thousand? Quite possibly. It was only a very small number of humans that crossed the land bridge from Africa to the Middle East to populate the rest of the world.
In docile trainer aircraft the spin can be recovered from, but that's usually only allowed to be tested in the utility category which has more restrictive weight & balance limits. In famously efficient airframes, it can take several thousand feet. In this article, the famously hard to insure pilot killer the Lancair IV took 4,000 feet: https://www.kitplanes.com/taming-the-lancair-iv/

Part of the Part 23 (certified aircraft rules) process is demonstrating spin recovery. The Lancair is experimental so it's not Part 23. Cirrus said, "We put in a parachute instead of demonstrating spin recovery." To which the FAA said, "OK, that works for us."

Since the Cirrus prohibits spins (most certified aircraft do) and Cirrus never demonstrated it officially, I only have the word of random comments on the internet to go with. The assumed state is, "The SR22 has poor recovery characteristics from spins and the manufacturer states in the POH that CAPS is the only recovery method." Maybe it's not all that bad, but at pattern altitude (this has sadly been demonstrated) I'm sure it's fatal.

I started a Rust project last year and found the documentation pretty unhelpful for a beginner. I think Java is one that (depending on the part of the standard library) can lack any decent examples. Python and PHP's documentation generally seem to have good examples though (at least in my experience).
WITH one AS NOT MATERIALIZED (
SELECT 1 AS value, 'one' AS name
)
SELECT *
FROM one

As srcreigh said, this is the default since I believe PostgreSQL 12, as long as the CTE is only used a single time. If you use it more than once, it by default wants to materialize it instead of recalculating each time. You can also force materialization by dropping the `NOT`.

Also note that materialization acts as an optimization fence. That is, PostgreSQL will not push down filter criteria and such from the query into the `WITH` clause. It can do such if it's not materialized.
It's much easier to be a dictator when you're young and strong, even if you make missteps. Making the military blunder of a generation when you're old, that gets a lot riskier. Everyone in the command structure below you realizes there will be a day without you very soon (from old age if nothing else) and will start aligning their future plans to new interests. If that alignment becomes firm enough before the dictators death, then it may hasten it. You can see this in the war hawks that are calling for his removal.

Not only has Putin lost Ukraine, he's severely damaged their ability to do business with the rest of the world, something that is costing a lot of people a lot of money long after he's gone.
I appreciate the effort to analysis my comment, but it seems you misinterpreted, so I'll explain my comment.

One could argue that a democracy by definition must have free speech. Otherwise, it's more of a "vote on the options provided by the ruling class". My question was meant as an actual question, is the illusion of democracy better than democracy for survival?

I use the word survival because it's the first law of life.

I use "right wing extremists" to make fun of people who think free speech is a right wing idea, or that opposing low-iq immigration is extreme.

I didn't mention political parties, nor mean to imply anything.
Having the allocator type be part of the collection type means every thing that needs to work with that collection also needs to be generic on the allocator type. It's just busywork.

(Rust has made the decision to have the A: Allocator be part of the collection type, and it's already causing the problem where all existing code only works with A = GlobalAlloc)

You don't need to use ArrayList if you know which allocator you want to use with it from some other means. You can use ArrayListUnmanaged. An ArrayList is equivalent to an ArrayListUnmanaged and Allocator.
