> Just have your device shutdown when it can no longer poll another device.

Most people want their devices to stay up and running on battery as long as they can, not just shut-down immediately after utility power goes down. Without somehow measuring the battery voltage, you can't estimate how much run-time your devices have to work with.
yes someone will need to hand-pick the best versions of each episode . over time a large enough dataset will have been generated that a model can be trained to the task of curation
i've consistently been improving performance by removing logging.

feels bad, but getting a 55 hour job down to 12 hours by removing logging was worth it.

yes, we log asynchronously and without blocking. but it is a constant tax on everything that happens and it adds up.
That helps with the West coast, but there are also huge population centers around Lake Victoria/Kenya/Ethiopia that won't have the benefit of a subsea cable?

It's very confusing to me. South Africa is really far out of the way. I guess a 2000 mile round trip from Lagos isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, and maybe Kenyans have better connectivity with a data center in the ME or India.

This is attacking them on a small part of the allegation. The allegation the NYT claimed is a conspiracy is that the data were stored in China.

If the NYT had an article on how they overstated how many poll workers data were stored, that may be a fairer critique, but one that wouldn't make such a sensational headline.
I would love to read a synthesis of the ideas in this paper with the economics of open source software development, which have distinct similarities.

Because a ton of people replied saying they couldn't reproduce the issue. It didn't help that the guy was snarky to a bunch of security researchers who asked him for more info.[1] He also neglected to mention that he'd recently visited the canary URL on that computer (which is why it was in Firefox’s recent shortcuts). Had he been more forthcoming with information, people would have figured it out sooner and his misinformation wouldn't have spread as far.

meh, Google is "more open" than others e.g. Apple and even when they're forced to weird a stick, they do it reluctantly.

Instead, like the US government, Google have developed mastery of "soft power" making it statistically-rare that they conduct Putin-like tactics. They know that heavyhanded tactics force heavyhanded responses and are actually a sign of weakness, not strength.

To be fair, if their business model came under _material_ pressure to be locked down, I'm not convinced they'd stay open.

As an example, look at Chrome vs adblockers - they could've shut them down years ago, but only acted when adblockers ate materially into the business and they were forced, again recognizing that they'll lose some users to Firefox and Brave.
What does that mean, however?

How will SQLite enforce good behavior of a developer, in perpetuity? Will it remove code contributed 10 years ago by now an open bigot?
Is it pertinent only to communication platforms related directly to SQLite?
Would it void and null a safety certification or audit done by such a person?

These and other questions come to mind when seeing a CoC of such an undefined form. It is important for the document to answer them.
This particular one seems to answer that the CoE is irrelevant to anything as nobody can follow these rules, if read strictly. So why have it at all?

The single sentence list can be interpreted in multiple contradictory ways, which is how we got many religions and even monk orders. It is a code of conflict not ethics.

Most importantly, I would not sign this, even if I were not an atheist. It is incompatible with rules of modern Catholic Church, Islam and probably more. It is probably not compatible in a strict form with whichever branch of christianity the founder follows as well.
That's fair. A builder could build a terrible house from the same blueprints as another built a great house.

However that's not really what I'm talking about. Assuming some minimum level of quality, 2 houses built from the same blueprints with the same materials and finishes, in similar locations, and by similarly skilled craftsman will be pretty much indistinguishable from each other to the end user.

That's not the case with software.

SQLite allows people to write extensions (C based), and load them into the running database.

There are some popular ones around like Libspatialite, which provides GIS functions roughly equivalent to PostGIS:

https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/libspatialite/index

There are a bunch of others too. And yeah, I agree with you that if things could be done via extensions rather than forking SQLite... that would be better. :)
I'm asking because I'm definitely not an expert on this, but if we can't use uranium efficiently, wouldn't that mean the plants would be creating lots of waste they wouldn't if they were more efficient? Would plants that would already be built be upgradable in the case more efficient methods of using uranium come online?

"Economics 101" is based on the idea of discerning purchasing agents in the interaction between supply and demand.

What is happening today is that the purchasing agents have a very hard time finding good quality products. Which creates a perverse market.
They create new advertised larger sizes as well to create this perpetual marketing scheme.

To compete with the newer, blazingly fast tools
I never quite understood the "feds screw everything up" meme. It’s like a large company where are some incredibly talented people (NIST, NASA, etc) as well as some people who are "vested and rested". Unlike most large companies, policy makers are appointed every few years by shareholder vote, except each shareholder has the same voting power as every other shareholder and most shareholders decline to exercise their governance privileges. There is wide disagreement between factions of shareholders on the most appropriate policies so progress can sometimes appear slow and fitful.
Would it cost them though? hardly any bill per call anymore. Lump sum billing would mean they have to support less volume for the same money.
Yes, people like us aren't taking notes to "get lost in our knowledge management system", we're taking them because we are going to need them. People will ask us why we use a best practice, we'll encounter the same bug a second time, or we'll spend a year away from a language and forget. I don't take any notes just to have a complete library of notes. Only ones that I know I will look for again.

Which exit node issue in particular?

That it's hard to get enough volunteer capacity, that exit node operators can sometimes get in trouble for things users did, that attackers can run exit nodes in order to look at traffic content, that attackers can run undisclosed families of relays in order to perform some traffic correlation attacks when a circuit uses multiple relays controlled by the same party, or that some sites may block or CAPTCHA exit nodes?

I believe they are already state of the art for image compression.

That being said these shitty video models I believe are just an arms race between Meta and Google after the release of stable diffusion. Microsoft has a video version of CLIP that I believe will really change the game, but unless you have trained a model with video embeddings it's all going to look devoid of any narrative. Right now the models just look like a sequence of images with the same promt and some sort of continuity to make it look more video like.

I am extremely curious how asyncronous logging was multiplying the job execution by 4x - are you able to share a bit more information about what particular portions of the logging were costing time? If it was done asynchronously I assume you're collecting to-be-logged records in memory with occasional batch dumps to disk/other persistence but were you spending time collecting auxiliary information that was costing a lot of cycles? Like fetching relevant information from the DB that was useful only for logging and not for the actual job?

I've seen some time jumps with logging removal but I don't think I've ever seen anything exceed about 20% of execution time (at least on the scale you're talking about, there were some scripts I revised logging on that were constructing huge logging infrastructures for an otherwise sub-milisecond job) 40 hours is a lot of hours.

“Hybrid” is the worst of both worlds.

In cases where attendance is optional you’ll likely be coming to an empty office most of the time.

In cases where attendance is required on specific days you’ll find it chaos as people rush to cram all their “office” tasks (meetings, etc) of the week into that one day so there’s little potential for enjoyable interactions when everyone is running around.
A neat fact I recently learned: Bill Herd (designer of the C128) said in a presentation at VCF East earlier this year, that the Z80 in the C128 was done because the C64 Z80 cartridge had power and heat problems. It was easier to just put it in the C128 versus trying to make the C128 compatible with the C64 Z80 cartridge.

He saved the Union so he accomplished his goal for the war.

Costco DOP is solid
Unfortunately, the higher price of Canadian milk means that dairy products like ice cream and yogurt are padded out with "milk ingredients", "skim milk powder", and "milk protein powder" from cheaper imported US milk, because the powdered products circumvent import limits.

100 years ago you could live in any part of any city or small town, hop on a streetcar or even walk a short distance, get everything you needed for your day to day life, and be back home in 15-30 minutes.

I can't drive to the nearest pharmacy to pick up a prescription and make it back home in less than 60 minutes, and I live in a sizeable clump of cities.

This is a US thing, and it's spreading. When I lived in Sydney, I could leave work in North Sydney, get on a train, get off at Central, go to the butcher and the baker and a small grocery and general store, then ride a bus home. Door to door in 30 minutes during rush hour.

In the US we've decided somehow that we should throw all of that convenience out the window in favor of accommodating cars at the expense of almost everything else, and it's sad. all cities of a given size look the same, now, and you can't do anything without a car or some form of public transport. there's no personality in our cities anymore unless you are in a historic district or at the city center where new roads can't be built and existing ones can't be widened.
The people that define the standards don't implement them. The people that implement them don't validate them. Government systems don't typically have any kind of system that periodically checks system configuration, though the systems might get reviewed every few years.

If my reading of this page [1] is correct, your received signal levels are on the low end of usable, and your quality is varying quite a bit.

Are you using a dedicated hotspot device or your phone? Either way, try moving it to different locations in or around your building. Some hotspots can use external antennas which can help with reception. Using a separate hotspot and wifi access point may help a bit, in case the hotspot wifi transmitter induces noise in the OTA radio interface.

Figuring out which tower your hotspot attaches to can be useful, especially if quality varies if it switches to others.

An interesting experiment to detect presence of radon at home using a geiger counter.
If you have a HEPA air purifier that has been running for a few months, then bring a geiger counter that does beta particles, near (1-2) cm of the filter and if it starts showing a lot of increased radioactivity over background readings, it means that there are radon decay elements captured in the filter panel.
