I could see projecting information that's useful to other drivers and pedestrians.

A rectangle indicating your stopping distance would be useful for cars intending to merge in.

A turn signal that is projected forward would tell people entering a cross-walk "there is a car trying to turn across this, watch out for them and make eye-contact".

A rear-projection rectangle would indicate a car is in reverse and may back up without seeing you.

The problem with all of these, and any other information is that they really only work at night, so...

Countries with ceremonial presidents don't necessarily have career politicians in the role. The easiest example I can think of is India's ex-president Kalam, who was a scientist.

And I think republicans prefer the scoundrel chosen by the people than the one descended from a long line of worse and worse scoundrels, the further you go back.

Perhaps because reality doesn't stop existing if you don't pay attention to it.

Nor do actual threats become any less threatening (if anything, the opposite).

So not paying any attention to the talking points, i.e. not reading TFA, wont have any effect.

You know what, sir? You've convinced me. You're right. There's not any special spite in Europe's motiviations. It's just like that. Its a way of being, and its people are statists who like it being like that.

So I wish you all the best of luck as your continent, now deprived of the economic impulse of cheap Russian gas, discovers the true weight of its overbearing and inflexible regulatory state, and deindustrializes with a scale and speed never seen before in human history (already ArcelorMittal is importing iron from the US rust belt, of all places!!!). And I'm actually, legitimately, genuinely sorry for everything the populist backlash is going to do as things fall apart, because I expect it to be very ugly.
I think I'm pretty tech savvy, I know it'd be possible there's some extraneous logic in these memory chips (beyond what's necessary for just making sure they store data properly), but it feels fantastical to think the logic would be able to control e.g. the WiFi chip to make a WiFi connection, and then open a connection to phone home (which I think is what Marco Rubio (R) et al are worried about?).

What would be next, banning sand from China if they're used to make the silicon?
And for the kind of jobs we're talking about (outside of maybe start-ups that haven't got benefits figured out quite yet), the commercial insurance offered by employers tends to be quite good. As a personal anecdote, my wife has a union job and I do not. She switched to my healthcare insurance because the benefits were better than what the union offered. (In a pure analysis, my job is technically less secure, but realistically I am in no danger of losing it. When correctly managed, increased risks yield increased rewards.)

Yeah: online shopping is terrible, especially for clothes. If shopping malls die, your options will be online or driving all around town between strip malls and the like.
Yes, plastic MIGHT be making us obese. But, we definitely know high caloric intake and sedentary lifestyle makes us obese. I don't understand why obesity is such a mystery. People are creatures of path of the least resistance. Developed countries have highly dense caloric food and people are inactive most of the day due to cars and office jobs.

Perhaps the reason is that gravity is so consistently even-handed a deity. No cycles or torments, no regional variation, just the same exact instantaneous acceleration for all mortals and their measurements. Gravity is in that sense, indirectly venerated through its measure as weight.
Depends on the system. The older ones that are still most common are just screens facing up in the dash that reflect off the windshield. They are also nearly 100% blocked during the day for anyone wearing polarized sunglasses, which limits their usefulness. Newer HUDs use lasers and work with polarized glasses, but of course they are a more complicated, expensive technology.
Clicking on "Licensing Information" and drilling down a few more links gets to the meat of what this is[1] (TL;DR: It's an archive of a Creative Commons licensed edition of an undergrad college text book. For those wondering who the target audience is: undergrads):

> What is this?

> First off, this is not the website for the original publisher. Instead, this is the archive of a small project by aschmitz to archive Creative Commons-licensed copies of all the books which were available online from a specific publisher at the end of 2012. (That publisher has asked to remain unnamed here. For more information, see the attribution page.)

> That publisher is a textbook publisher, focusing on (mostly entry-level) college textbooks. From their beginning until the end of 2012, they licensed all of their books under a Creative Commons by-nc-sa 3.0 license, allowing anyone who so desired to copy them, give them away, or modify them, as long as they acknowledged the authors, released the copies under the same license, and didn't do so for commercial gain. This was an unusual model, but they hoped it would work. (They sold access to additional study materials, as well as copies of books that would fit well on e-readers.)

> In late 2012, they decided that the process of giving away access to their textbooks online wasn't working, and decided to switch to a different model, requiring students to pay for access to the books starting in 2013. (At least initially, these fees ware rather cheap compared to normal textbook prices, but still not free.)

> Because the books were still available under a Creative Commons license at the end of 2012, I downloaded them to have copies known to be available under a Creative Commons license. I then repackaged them so that they are available outside of the publisher's website, and can be used by anyone under the terms of their Creative Commons license.

It’s unfortunate, but there is a strong link between company culture and their remote work offerings.

At this point, companies that are “office first” tend to be of the poorly managed, tech-debt riddled, low trust variety, while remote first companies tend not to be, but also tend to have an actively hostile culture towards in-person work.

I believe there is a slowly growing cohort of people who do their best work when regular or semi-regular, in-person collaboration is involved. In time, I think well-managed organizations with proper tech practices will emerge that recognize this, and will attract the right people for it.

Until then, and for as long as each side in this straw man debate views the other as a mutually exclusive, almost existential threat, then this “rhetoric” from both sides most certainly won’t end and we will all continue to be subject to articles filled with lists of value judgements and personal projection on “the one true way everyone must work”.
If you’re looking to self-host and are comfortable using AWS, I wrote a quick guide on the best way to self-host videos with the same performance as YouTube: https://neil.gg/2020/07/20/diy-video-streaming/

I’ve used the same technique to host various videos over the years with zero issues, but the s3 charges can add up if you’re not careful since you’re storing multiple copies of the same video to enable adaptive streams.
I think what the article describes is something like a cousin of the X-Y problem and Five Times Why. The example given comes off like encouraging layering duct tape "because the business needs this thing for yesterday", but I think what the author is saying is: "hire engineers who aren't prone to thinking in a myopic way, but instead seek out the 'why' before they think of the 'how'".
AMD is worse in every regard
It's a short article. I was looking for any distinction between heap allocated and stack allocated objects. The compiler does escape analysis and will stack allocate anything that it can to a large degree.

It then goes on to say

> While allocation is as efficient as possible, it doesn’t avoid the memory pressure on the L1/L2 caches of your CPUs and when many cores are busy, they are contending for memory in the shared L3 cache.

So I suspect that it's not all about gc, but also the overhead of object memory and especially object packing for caching and use of objects between threads. That's why we have things like LMAX Disruptor[0].

Until we get Project Valhalla value objects, you're likely better off using Go than Java for the object packing efficiency.

I've been watching his videos too for the last 6mo or so. If you like them, you should watch his friend's videos on SerenityOS as well, Linus Groh [1]. He does a lot of stuff on LibJS and LibWeb libraries.

It feels a little self congratulatory for flow to only be for people who only do hard things, though it might support the feeling of satisfaction.

First the definition of hard is already difficult to define across people and activities. From a happiness standpoint, I don't see why a simple or easy focus couldn't also induce a state of flow if they were in the moment and enjoyed it.

In a way, being entranced in a TV show is a state of flow. Society just has shame built into the idea of wasting time due to the scarcity of our environment.

Entities as primary keys is very good! Though as systems generally handle the data transformation, Im not sure they equate to tables
It's a bit more complicated than that. When the state makes something legal and refuses to prosecute, it can do so because it possesses sufficient sovereignty for that under the commandeering doctrine. But the relationship between the state and its municipalities is not equivalent - the state has all the sovereignty while the municipalities only have such power that the state delegates to them, and that power can always be withdrawn (in the most extreme case, by de-chartering). Thus, the state can actually force San Francisco to remove this law, and compel its law enforcement agencies to enforce state law. It just chooses to not do so.

That's the point. At my last job, the training for microservice design was training in Domain Driven Design with Bounded Contexts. My predecessors at my current job could have used that training, because what I got was a different microservice for every data type, along with another microservice to essentially perform `JOIN` operations across these other microservices... When in reality, all these different pieces of data are just supporting information for the main entity we actually care about, and modeling it as a singular aggregate works much better.
The small amount of gas burned for electricity has an outsized impact on electricity prices.

The pricing mechanism was designed to reward efficient power plants and prevent price gouging and it mostly does that.

If just one gas plant tripled their prices, then the market would simply not call on them to deliver unless everything else was already in use.

That doesn't work when the gas itself has gone up in price as all the gas plants prices rise (though it's good that it'll still reward the efficient ones and prevent intentional price gouging by non gas suppliers trying to take advantage of the short supply of gas).

Since the European grid is interconnected, this impact is spread around to a degree so that Russia can't just bully Germany or Finland into doing stuff and to reduce overall costs. Similarly the gas can be transported so that price equalises across borders too.
It would be good if the post contained some data to justify its points, like a graph of loading times. Otherwise assertions like "So fast that it's faster than a static website." don't seem supportable.

I would have liked to see the actual results from this comparison: "I compared my site to Nginx, openresty, tengine, Apache, Go's standard library, Warp in Rust, Axum in Rust, and finally a Go standard library HTTP server that had the site data compiled into ram."

Just because Timothy McVeigh was a mass murderer doesn't mean the ATF and FBI agents at Ruby Ridge and Waco weren't murderers too. I realize who did what at Waco is highly disputed, but the rules of engagement being used at Ruby Ridge were straight up murder:

"If any adult in the area around the cabin is observed with a weapon after the surrender announcement had been made, deadly force could and should be used to neutralize the individual."
> That is very far from the truth - please check the recent events

You are forgetting or ignoring Russia's bigger guns. If Russia wanted to use NATO methods, it would be over in one day with hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties.

> For multiple decades Russia was using energy as a way to corrupt EU.

"Interesting" narrative.

> If Ukraine falls, Russia will invade Europe in a decade with Ukrainian military on its side.

If Russia wanted to attack NATO and start WW3, it would already have done so. Why would it need to attack Ukraine first?

Please try to think logically.

> Europe need to remove its dependence on the Russian gas completely for its own safety.

The same as above applies. If Russia wanted to conquer Europe as you seem to believe, independence from Russia's gas isn't going to help in any way to prevent that.
JIT compilation is vastly superior for long-running server side business processes.

How is that possible? Assuming all things are equal AOT should always be better. The advantage of a virtual machine is being able to distribute the same files to different processors and operating systems. The advantage of a JIT is that it makes your virtual machine faster.... oh how I wish Python would have an official JIT, sigh.

But back to my question, if a JIT compiler takes bytecode and converts it to native code at runtime, and an AOT compiler takes source code and converts it to native code before being distributed, then how could JIT be faster? Is it that many people use AOT compilers in a generalized way instead of taking advantage of hardware specific optimizations? Or is the Java JIT compiler just so good at optimizing java byte code that it doesn't matter if it's compiled ahead of time or not?

Edit: I got too many answers, but thank you all. I didn't consider the extra optimizations possible with runtime data. Please keep replying if you think of other reasons.
I am curious how the leanest of "cutting-edge" startups will adapt to these new employee expectations. In the short-term, designing a company as "remote first" is a huge boon, but I could foresee a bounce-back to close collaboration in the coming years.

Innovation is rarely harvested in a vacuum; the best ideas emerge when experts hang out "at the water cooler". I think the volatility of the past two years has reduced the demand for innovation, as no one knows what the "new normal" is actually going to look like. Once this stabilizes, I can foresee passionate, lean teams that work in close proximity outperforming pre-2020 firms.

Or maybe my contrarian views are unfounded and the "Garage Startup" has truly been killed by the "Discord Startup"

> even bog standard bread

Yes, we definitely have too much sugar in everything, but as an amateur baker I will defend sugar in bread. Sure, you don't need it in a baguette or a rustic boule, but it is indispensable for a nice, soft sandwich loaf. It's not there to make the bread sweeter. It makes the bread softer, it boosts the yeast for a nicer rise, and it keeps it from going stale as quickly.

Granted, I don't use a ton of it. My favorite sandwich bread recipe[0] is 8g of sugar to 500g flour, and with my long loaf pan I typically get 20-25 slices, so maximum 400mg a slice. Quite good compared to my favorite supermarket bread at 2g a slice.

Sure, "bog standard" bread could have less sugar, but some sugar is essential for this style of bread.

Nelson. “Despite public assurances otherwise, Tornado Cash has repeatedly failed to impose effective controls designed to stop it from laundering funds for malicious cyber actors on a regular basis and without basic measures to address its risks. Treasury will continue to aggressively pursue actions against mixers that launder virtual currency for criminals and those who assist them.”

> First, you're assuming that users have favorite websites, and that those sites wouldn't work. As I said in my post, so long as the browser worked with standards compliant modern websites I think that would be fine ... and that would cover 99.9% of user's favorite websites.

I wonder then why developers test on multiple browsers...
Is it because website developers code not to standards per se, but rather how their top two browsers behave?

That being said, I think this is a cool project and since the goal is personal satisfaction and usability, there isn't the pull to satisfy hundreds of thousands of users.
