Note that the first steam engines in productive use were at coal mines.

This is because they were incredibly inefficient, and needed huge amounts of coal. Really the only way to solve the transport problem was to not have to transport the coal at all. As it saw continued value produced, the mechanism was made more efficient, until eventually it was viable to use in certain other places.

However, the transport problem still remained. You could replace muscle power with steam power, but if it still took massive amounts of muscle power to get your coal, that wasn't worth much. The breakthrough here came with stream trains. Now you could use coal to transport your coal. And muscle power was possible to be largely eliminated.

I talked to a software developer once that had used ECB because it was the only way they could think of to allow an arbitrary block of ciphertext to be decrypted without decrypting the prior blocks (i.e. they needed random access as opposed to decrypting the entire ciphertext every time).[1] A lot of the older cryptography libraries I know of only supported ECB and CBC, and a lot of older programming examples only discussed those too, so that dev may not have ever heard of counter-based modes even though those have been around since 1979. Not sure if that's anything like what happened here, but if this feature has been around for awhile maybe it was a similar case?

[1] I've talked to a lot of software developers about the dangers of using ECB over the years. The discussion I'm referring to was the only time I've really been surprised. Usually it's been because the library they were using defaulted to it.

Yeah so zero commission doesn't mean that the exchange rate is the real one.
Fun related anecdote: I used to be involved with doing data analysis of rogue traders in financial services and was involved in discovering and investigating several of these incidents.

In every case that I was personally involved in uncovering/investigating, suspicions were initially raised when the employee went on compulsory block leave.

I just don’t get how careless Microsoft is when it comes to security and reliability.

Yet enterprises annd governments are throwing $$$ at them. Maybe that’s why they don’t care.
Zero commission is laughable because they give you a shit exchange rate. That's literally the scam.
It probably somewhat depends on the level. I don't really expect random state reps or other local elected officials have any particular qualifications. They certainly aren't paid as if they did. In some states, such are basically part-time jobs. I do think it's a job a fair number of people would hate.
It isn't, but everyone does it, including the federal government.
Cameras always have been optical appliances. And as such they in deed do require a lot of precision. Especially those with changeable lenses, unless you don't mind your focal plane not being where your film, or nowadays sensor, is.

Ah yes. It was just used to collect "meta-data" not accessible through legal means. Totally harmless.

That's fascinating, because recently I started thinking that I'm underestimating how long we've been able to craft (which may be different than engineer, or mass manufacture) things precisely.

Recently I dug teeny bit into pocket watches, and then wrist watches, which turnst out were a thing way longer than I imagined!

Well, as the second sentence of the article says, it seems relevant here because he was able to use the application… with his law enforcement credentials.
You are telling on yourself a little here.
I've been able to get a lot done with API Gateway, Lambda, S3, RDS, SQS, Lex, and ElasticSearch. I work for a Fortune 200 company who's risk averse and views "the cloud" with suspicion. My team's ability to get so much done is starting to change that perception.

Sure, if you're in a startup and you're doing most of the infrastructure and operational work yourself then working on-premise is often advantageous. If, like me, you're working for a Fortune 200 company and it takes multiple ServiceNow tickets to get on-prem hardware, a lead time of several months to get it through procurement and subsequently racked and stacked, and working with infrastructure solution engineers throughout the process - trust me, AWS is a much better choice and will enable your team to get stuff done.

If you are working for a startup then beware, as you grow avoid the temptation to build a data center - go to the public cloud. I would argue since that's where you're going to be hosted anyway - assuming your successful growth - then you should really consider just starting out there in the first place.
I don't think it's necessary to apply that distinction.

The cop had these women's accounts hacked, he used a number of tools and connections to achieve that goal.

One of the tools used was this piece of tech, but it was only a single link in the chain.

Ultimately the story is "cop abuses access to tech to exploit women".

Walking around is great, but I think it's a good idea to generally be aware of "unsafe" parts of town. If you think about your own local city, you would know areas to avoid, but, hey, if that's your thing, then go for it.
The part about visas is purely from an American perspective. I always find it weird when people write assuming everyone reading will be American. It's extra surprising when the person is a supposed travel guru.

Stadia failure is due to them using Linux. Having to get people to spend time and money to port games. If they used windows, they would have thousands of games. The tech is really good, but they were hampered by the library and "bribing" studios to port.

Links to the research?
I always thought it was interesting that full text search handles misspellings, as opposed to just telling the client that they've misspelled and to clarify their intent and retry.

From this it seems like the best solution would be to use SQLite's FTS and replicate the database using something like rqlite, litestream or mvsqlite, and then loadbalance the requests to SQLite.

Given that SQLite is serverless in the classic sense, seems like a nobrainer.
Libel and defamation are forms of disinformation and have long been held to have civil repercussions. This case against Alex Jones is an extension of that IMHO.
Agreed. If the offense happens while the person was an police officer, it should read "Police officer used..." and the article should explain that they got fired for it.
It used to be more verbose:

Not that cringe to me.

Tiktok and the like are highly addictive for some people and the dopamine kicks are real and unhealthy.

Reading books does not give the same release of dopamine as TikTok/Instagram.. hence why most people don’t read for 2 hours a day but many people easily spend that much time on insta/tik.

Modulating behavior can cause physical withdrawals.. you don’t need a pill. I.e lovers, gambling addicts, porn addicted.
Remember when people used to say, “If you aren’t doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?” on the topic of whether there should be backdoors for law enforcement?
Statistically speaking, your friend should be getting average products from each category in the long run. Practically speaking, however, the assumptions that go into that statement likely won't hold, as supermarkets go to some lengths to make sure that the first item that meets your eye from any category is one of the pricier options.
Two weeks seems weak; I would think five weeks is the minimum to catch things that happen monthly; unless part of the two weeks is specifically checking things.

People travel for different reasons, and that's OK. Chris' reasons are stated in his post:

"This style of travel, of aiming to be a local, isn’t for everyone. I’m blessed with a lot of free time, and it’s best done in weeks, not days."

And

"Traveling is my education, so I treat the question like choosing which course to take. What do I want to learn about this semester? For me, currently that’s faith and religion. So I’ve been trying to go to places of deep faith, and ones different from what I’m familiar with. To see faith as it’s practiced by the average follower, not by the high priests, or the most sacrosanct. The local mosque rather than the Blue mosque"

He really does want to create relationships with the people in the places that he visits. And he's done that for years. His book Dignity chronicles a lot of his writing about the differences between the "front of the classroom" and the "back of the classroom" people. He focuses on trying to just listen and understand how other people live rather than sitting back and judging them based on tiny snippets of their worlds that you see in places like the news.

So this is very much on brand for him, and I applaud him for sharing how he does what he does with us. And FWIW he did come from a very Western elite background as well: PhD in particle physics, bond trader on Wall Street before escaping that life at considerable personal cost to live this life of trying to show us how others live.
The media loves to protect the institution of the police. If they can downplay the idea that maybe this is indicative of a broader problem with policing by saying "former" police officer, they'll jump at the chance.
A few generations ago many of our brightest minds were building doomsday weapons to incinerate all life on Earth, so maybe this is progress.

We have a Brazilian Au Pair, who told me that she was waiting until she came up here to the states to buy a new phone. I thought that getting a new iPhone in Brazil might be more affordable. Turns out I was wrong. The iPhone list price was somewhere around 180% as in the US. I was shocked.
I find 25C fairly unpleasant and definitely "warm."

OSHA recommends offices to be cooled below that point, with 24C/76F being the upper end of acceptable. Some of this observation is also dependent on metabolic rate, which makes opinions on this somewhat gender-skewed.
Nope, that would be my advice. It's not as hard or as demanding as you think, even a naive design, with just a modicum of attention to ground loops and impedance matching, plus the advantages of modern layout tools, 4+ layer stackups, trace clearances, and high-performance integrated transceivers, will probably work fine.

Your first designs may or may not pass a radiated emissions test, and it may or may not work reliably if you want it to fly through the Van Allen belts or in an industrial panel full of VFDs, and you might want to aim for last year's implementation rather than the bleeding edge. While it can be made complicated if you want to truly and thoroughly understand it, just following basic rules of thumb can go a long, long way.

> if you choose a mate of your own free will, it's not

If you're choosing mates at all, it means you're judging the value of other human beings. You're accepting some and rejecting others based on what you think or feel is best. It's just eugenics practiced by the general population according to highly variable personal criteria.

This is not inherently superior to some explicit eugenics program. It's about the principle of individual autonomy.

The cost is in the switch between driver->kernel->network-consumer as running TCP and routing packets to the correct process are done by the kernel.

If you run dpdk you get raw ethernet frames and run TCP yourself. This means that a program can receive any data sent to the machine. More sophisticate cards can do routing in hardware and present multiple "virtual" cards, but this is not yet commonly available in consumer hardware.

No, you still need ctags to jump to sources outside of your current file. But within the same file, it works fine without it.

C doesn't have a defined directory structure, and a lot of the source/header files you'd use are stored in places like /usr/lib and such.
I'd compare and contrast the state of the field to something like how modern molecular biology can produce an unambiguous diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis in a patient and prescribe an effective course of treatment, relative to diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia.

There's no unambiguous physical test for schizophrenia that I've ever heard of, it's just things like patients having auditory hallucinations and so on. There's no known mechanistic pathway (i.e. there's no known defective proteins that the genes express that somehow mess up the auditory pathway in the brain causing such hallucinations). It really sounds more like a mis-wiring-of-neurons type of thing that develops over time in the person, due to external pressures that they're unable to cope with.

Now with infectious disease, there is a great mystery still - out of a thousand people exposed to the same level of the same pathogen, some get sick and some don't. Some of this is explained by previous immunological exposure, but a lot isn't. Some of it is probably genetic in that one's in-born complement of immunological genes likely results in increased resistance or sensitivity to viral and bacterial proteins used to target cells.

What I'd guess here is that people just don't want to admit that mental illness is more of a social problem than a biological one, due to things like mass homelessness (which could cause schizophrenic breaks), poor parenting (which parents would rather blame on 'bad genes' rather than their own personal failures), etc. Of course, the same can be said of the prevalence of infectious disease due to poor public health regimes, contaminated food supplies, etc.
That's quite literally all that it is. Maybe you dont like it, I dont like it either, but Alex Jones's part in this was just speaking. The individuals doing the harassment and making death threats should of course be punished. But holding someone accountable for the actions of hundreds of people they've never met is absurd. Did Alex Jones encourage the harassment? Did he tell his followers to go send death threats? If he did, I've certainly not seen it. And if he did, it would be a slightly different story. But speaking your incorrect opinion should not make you liable for the actions of a few deranged individuals who choose to act on that information in a negative way.
Being at the same ability level matters way more than being at the same age. Speaking from personal experience, the whole "let's try to pretend that this kid is normal and that with enough time he will fit in" has had terrible consequences on my mental health, and even on my social ability with the rare people that I feel comfortable with.

I think that in many case, trying to pretend that people are the same when they are not is causing a lot of pain for everyone involved. Holding a conversation with a normal person requires me to expand a lot of energy to not be myself, because if I am I will quickly be hurt and/or rejected. And just like I often hurt people by being myself, other people hurt me by being themselves. Trying to explain it to them has been pointless in all situation, and most of the time makes the situation worse.

Why would any of us have to endure that, when we could instead be with groups of like-minded people and enjoy life more? I don't feel superior to those people, and spending more time with them leads me to develop more negative sentiments towards them. I think the sane option is to avoid them as much as possible, while making sure that I treat them with respect. I can't change fundamentally who I am, they can't change who they are. I can't understand why you advocate for a situation that creates so much suffering for everyone involved.
Travelling is like real estate, location matters. Certain places are popular for a reason usually. Off-the beaten path travelling is like advocating people to move to an off-grid farm with no running water. It might work out fine for you, but most people are not into that thing.
That's really the point, though. To help us understand what you're arguing for, you need to give real examples of things you disagree with and that make you uncomfortable (e.g. desisting) that are nevertheless acceptable speech, and things which cross the line and aren't acceptable.

You didn't give us examples from either side of the line to show us where the line is, you gave one example that's totally fine ("X is a jerk" isn't going to get anyone arrested in the US) and one that's a direct incitement to violence. The examples are miles apart and the line could be anywhere between them.

The Matt Walsh example doesn't really help either. If I said "someone needs to put a stop to these evil monsters pumping carbon into the atmosphere" in the context of protesting a new coal mine, pretty much everyone would understand there was an implied "...by turning up to my legal protest next Tuesday and waving some placards around" on the end. Saying the owners needed to be lined up and shot may or may not be incitement, but again that's a pretty extreme example, and it still doesn't look simple.

Depends on the app but usually don't major version upgrade unless the current version is losing support or there's a compelling new feature. I wouldn't run on the latest until a few point releases are out (say .3 or .4).

I haven't worked on anything recently with a good performance testing system so that weighs in a bit, too (there's not a high degree of confidence the app won't hit a weird perf regression or edge case)

If it's using a managed service, that weighs in, too. Something like AWS RDS Postgres usually has a 6 month lag + give it some additional time to work out any AWS control plane "surprises"

I worked at Oracle for many years. Oracle has a lot of very talented engineers, of all levels of experience, all over the world. Lots of less-talented ones too, but that's not the point. The problem is those talented engineers are often suppressed by upper management who don't recognize that value that those engineers bring, in favor of their own pet projects. Every once in a while, there's a group that doesn't run into this: the Java team is one of them. OCI is better than people give it credit for, but all that is overshadowed by the dumb decisions made by VP-and-above management.

>You have a point about needing a car in any number of such smaller cities in America, but even in those places there is a central core that remains relatively walkable.

They're often pretty small though. I'm not familiar with Indianapolis specifically, but there's one smaller city I visit semi-regularly for work. It has a nice (relatively gentrified) downtown but it's, to be generous, maybe 15 x 10 blocks. And beyond that you mostly need a car. I'll have a day to kill there in a month or so and I'll probably end up renting a car for the day.

I also worked downtown of a similar city about a decade ago. Same thing. (And both old mill towns.)
