> With enough traffic, their edge servers will keep connections open to origin.

Except AWS CloudFront when used with a custom origin server (whole site acceleration) - their "clever" load distribution algorithm requires inordinate amounts of traffic for effective origin connection re-use.

I run multiple sites in the top 100k websites globally and am getting effectively zero origin connection re-use. Badgered them about it but all I got was a wontfix :-/

Sigh.
Not sure what you are trying to say? Some states used to elect electors not by popular vote, but by a vote by their legislatures. If we want to ensure the legitimacy of a vote it seems easier to secure a system where only a few are voting instead of everybody. I am not positive, but I think the votes in the legislatures were public so there would be no issues with potential voting machine manipulation or anything of the sort.

The title made me think it was about Snowflake the DB company indeed.
This is the terrible norm in the semiconductor industry. VNCs everywhere. Almost all EDA GUIs are only designed for Red Hat or CentOS so IT makes everyone connect to a datacenter and start an X server. Having interviewed at/worked at these companies, I know that Intel, NVIDIA, and Apple all do this.

It sucks. Your productivity plummets because each keystroke lags and it makes you lose your train of thought. When there's an outage, no one can do any work at all.
Another boon of the manual car is that you are probably not likely to have a lead foot and find yourself speeding. In an automatic with a lead foot, the gears shift for you and suddenly you are going 50mph, but you cant tell because the car put you in the overdrive gear already and you are only revving 1800 rpm. Electric cars are probably even worse in this regard because theres no sense of connection to the powerplant that you can interpret from the cockpit.

In a manual on the other hand, if you start having a lead foot, the engine lets you know. Once you are familiar with a given manual car's gear ratios, you don't need the dashboard anymore. You know what 3000 rpm feels like because (in a good drivers car at least) you can feel the engine vibrating through the pedals, through the steering wheel, and through the gear shift, in additon to hearing the exhaust note. You also quickly figure out what speed a given rpm gets you in each gear. Maybe 4th gear at about 2000rpm is your 35mph cruising gear. To go over the speed limit in this case you would have to rev the engine up which would be noticeable, or shift into 5th.
It is returning a new type.

Please show me an example where it differs. D's metaprogramming is very good at constructing types. A member of the D community tried very hard to implement type functions, but it turned out to be redundant with D's existing capability.
Fossil Is Not Relational

I know some of you are tired of SQLite/Fossil topics, but I found it interesting how the creators of SQLite themselves chose to use it as a blob store and then crosslink the blob contents to an actual relational schema.

We often discuss using SQLite as a file format and Fossil is often mentioned here as benefiting from a relational store, but I wonder if anyone here has actually used this architecture instead of making their actual SQLite schema the source of truth.
Performance-wise, relative to Raspberry Pi, expect:

- CPU performance partway between rpi3b+ and rpi4.

- GPU performance 4x that of rpi4.

- Better Video encode/decode acceleration.

Feature wise, there's 8GB RAM, 2xGbE, M.2, 2x USB3 + 2x USB2 and so on.

So this board has even the Raspberry Pi 4 beat for most use cases: Desktop thanks to the GPU, everything else thanks to I/O and features. At Raspberry Pi prices.

It is meant to also be more power efficient, although we'll have to wait for the reviews to see just how much. I hear the SoC does not require a heatsink, nor benefit from one; it supposedly won't reach 70C even at full load, whereas it is made to operate at up to 125C.

I'm not sure if that quote really captures the issue. I read NYT article about this a few days ago (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/03/us/nyu-organic-chemistry-...), and its seems one major aspect is a culture clash between expectations of "gen Z" students and expectations of students/professors in prior generations. The gist I got is that the "gen z" students expect the "system" to adapt to address their struggles, and when they fail they tend to blame that "system" or other factors outside their control. Focusing on the student evaluation results presumes the students' attitude is the correct one, when it may very well be unreasonable.
I wonder how long some of these water rights will survive. It seems that the Public Trust Doctrine may be used to cancel some (all?) long-standing rights. My thought is that water rights are a way to allocate water that doesn't yet exist in the Colorado River. Exercising these rights is a present and future danger to the public interest. It's not like mineral rights over "stuff" that has been in the ground for millions of years.

> courts have used the public trust doctrine to minimize preexisting private property rights, as was done by the California Supreme Court in the famous Mono Lake case. In Mono Lake, the City of Los Angeles had secured water rights in Mono Lake's nonnavigable feeder streams under the state's prior appropriation water rights allocation system. However, the city's water diversions were adversely affecting the ecological integrity of this second largest California lake, revered as a “scenic and ecological treasure of national significance.” Faced with a classic confrontation between public and private water rights, the court held for the public, saying the public trust doctrine prevented any party from acquiring vested property rights to appropriate water in a manner injurious to the interests protected by the trust.

That's not hard to do, for some networked devices that step amounts to just plugging it into a power source and connecting it to the network. I haven't had to touch the configuration of my wifi printer for example since I plugged it in to the wall years ago.
Oh you could make noise dampening and cancelling headphones for MRI with nonmagnetic piezo transducers.
Ear canal earphones would help with it too by cutting the noise some 30 dB.

The problem is that the noise made by the machine is loud sounds comparable to an explosion or a gunshot. You can reduce it but never fully cancel it, and it's rather startling.

Apple patents new AirPod feature: detecting bruxism
Today, Apple employees filed a patent application on the diagnosis and monitoring of bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) using “earbud motion sensors”. This will probably be a new health tool with their new AirPod Pros. (The current last model - just launched - does not mention fitness capabilities)

Biofeedback in combination with other techniques can be a big help in reducing bruxism. And Apple wouldn’t be Apple if they turned it into something innovative.

I looked around for studies concluding that wood smoke from indoor fireplaces had worse health effects than chronic secondhand smoke exposure. I found a few that link wood smoke and lung cancer, which makes sense to me because wood smoke is a carcinogen. But I didn't find anything claiming it was worse than secondhand cigarette smoke, which is the part of the claim I find unintuitive. Can you point me to whatever source you used to make the above statement?

I am failing to see a separate niche here. There are only so many ways you can break down office productivity focus and still have a market to support you. Your team should accept the facts and stop trying to wiggle out of competing with your--frankly--main rival in this space. It doesn't do any justice to avoid this truth. Honestly, I'd be shocked if you weren't already closely monitoring their work and its reaction in the market.

I think Meta's strategy was the right one. The only execs who would even consider adopting a virtual work model would be gamers who are already familiar with the tool. Gaming was their way to get in the minds of their potential next phase enterprise customers.

I thought Facebook was worse, but looking at TikTok, it takes the most invasive spyware crown.

At this point if the solution is to outlaw all invasive tracking for all companies, the first thing to do is like how Facebook got a multi-billion dollar fine by the FTC, TikTok (and repeat offenders) must be fined in the tens of billions, if they want to continue operating in the US and to stop them from violating user privacy by their invasive data collection.

Finland is having a boom, 70% increase in built wind power last year and 70% this year so far, and I checked the projects completed or completing this year. Most are Vestas and Nordex, some GE, and few outliers (Siemens, Eventus, Cypress one project each).
It's a good question, and sort of impossible to answer in that we don't know what might have happened if I hadn't had that trip. However, I'd guess it's a similar answer to @prhn's sibling comment - at school I had terrible concentration problems, failed a bunch of my exams etc including computer studies. Post-acid, I developed a real love of learning and a love of problem solving - the two things combined to provide the entire career I've had since as a creative technologist, programmer, CTO. I do believe that could not have happened without that first trip.

It can simultaneously be true that:

- Organic chemistry is especially difficult for a lot of people

- Semi-retired researcher may not be a great lecturer/teacher for a big hall full of freshmen
tl;dr - He turned GE into a financial services company, destroyed the culture of engineering that had built it, and bumped up their stock price via financial engineering. After he left, it's been a slow, painful trip downwards.

Oh, and he fought hard against the EPA and scientists who said PCBs had bad health consequences so that GE could continue dumping them into the Hudson river and not have to pay for the cleanup until 30 years later (when he was long since retired).

I think no one has posted the main thesis of this discussion. It's not just about "asking them", it's about the NYU psychologist's research that has systematically found no evidence for all counterfactuals other than asking a person about their internal state.

Knowing how to ask someone what they are thinking/feeling is a key skillset of anyone building a product for someone else. Its nuanced enough that books like "The Mom Test" break this down for entrepreneurs to implement tactically. On the other hand, West's research also suggests that one can comfortably underweight their own instincts laden with ego-centric and culture-centric biases. Further, you can also comfortably underweight the observations of your colleagues who might assert empathic abilities.

Perhaps the most interesting segment of this podcast was the story of how the author and her tenured colleague were able to dismiss their own intuitions about a acrimonious rivalry with one another and evaluate their relationship scientifically through hundreds of questions from their own research. They went from disliking one another to getting married.

It's not unheard of to drink with lunch in the US, but it isn't common in most subcultures. The whole concept of "happy hour" involves immediately after work being the accepted time for daily drinkers to start. Americans on the whole drink rather less, and have more teetotalers.

The easier thing to do is edit the beer out or replace it with coffee or soda, because the message the mid-day beer sends is in fact a parent who drinks too much in front of the kids.

An American with no experience of European culture might be startled that everyone drinks at lunchtime, but wouldn't consider a European, or American, who has a beer with lunch, to be degenerate or alcoholic. A round of drinks during a business lunch is commonplace, some places it's a Friday thing. What it isn't is totally unremarkable.

So as the exception rather than the norm, including this detail in a fictional context does send a different message. The editor is probably right to cut that line in translation.

There’s more nuance to it than that, however: consider how the standards of film ratings diverge from the people making films. “This film is not rated” dug into that at some length, and I think it’s worth considering how much that has skewed the entire public discourse. We’re missing out on a lot of great movies because everyone knows that you can get approval for violence much easier than a healthy relationship.

I’d also note the difference between the public moral image projected and what they practice in private. We have far more hypocrites than prudes.
