It's also, the actual air. There's more CO2 in the air these days. this super charges the growth of plants: vegetables and cereal crops. But, the amount of minerals in the plant remains the same but the plants grow larger with more sugar content. and so the amount nutrients per calories drops. this has been proven and documented.

Oh god you are bending some broad aspects to back it up that Javascript has all of greatness from every other style of programming. No, it doesn't. I don't think it works like that. It's like a p10 of jack of all trade.

I sometimes wonder about how fast tings could go if we ditch the firmware, and also just bake a kernel / os right into the silicon. Not like all the subsystems which run their own os/kernels, but really just cut every layer, and have nothing in between.

Where is this, if you don't mind my asking?
Digital Ocean vs. Vultr vs. AWS for minimal downtime?
What’s everyone’s server provider of choice when it comes to minimal downtime? I have 20 servers on Vultr in Sydney and they’re mostly reliable with a few hiccups over the years but very solid recently with only one this year across all my servers. AWS I have about 10 servers and almost never issues there. And then DigitalOcean just released their new Sydney servers (finally) so I’m curious on how reliable they are with regards to downtime.
In KDE one can unbind Ctrl-P from print for all KDE apps, from the web browser to the PDF reader to the mail client.
The general idea should be fine. The problem gets in that I have to make a choice up front in many static languages. Something I don't have to do if I give up what exact type of number I am using at the moment.
I relate to this so much. I have experienced the same things, and I also find myself moving across to data engineering.

In my case, I was in organisations that wanted data science, but had no capability or interest in supporting the role, so a lot of my time and effort has been having to put down the data science tools, and learn devops, software development and data engineering so that I can get back to the point where I do my data science work.

I’ve also become frustrated with my data science peers lack of knowledge about the surrounding fields- I get that being a top tier software dev isn’t the primary responsibility of a DS, but it would certainly make their life, and the life of everyone around them a lot easier if they did make an effort. There’s a sense of “learned helplessness” in parts of data science (and parts of data engineering too) in which “if some third-party tool can’t do it for us, we just can’t do it” and imagination is limited to the features the latest framework de jour offers.
In the movie universe all the computers use spinning hard drives and every single car has wore its brake pads down to nothing.
"While we continue to operate profitably in 2022 and sustain our growth rates ahead of our peers, unfortunately we still need to take more drastic measures for the health of our business and to continue to support and prepare our customers and our stakeholders from what is about to come. "

I find it hard to accept both these statements "we continue to operate profitably" and "we still need to take more drastic measures for the health of our business". Why is the business health in question? The memo doesn't address it. I can only assume they are they projecting growth to go negative next year?

Back in the 80s I worked for a computer manufacturer in the Valley designing chips and doing all the other fun stuff involved with creating and bringing up a new machine. When people asked me what I did for a living I told them to read "The Soul of a New Machine" - that was my job. Kidder really captured exactly what it was like to create those beasts, with all the ups and downs of computer engineering in that era. Different coast, different (much bigger) computer, but the process was exactly the same. Perfect historical snapshot.
No, this is not about a beer making. It is about the actual Sam Adams and the actual revolution.
Absolutely. But also, consider some natural sources as well. Cashews and Pumpkin seeds are pretty dense with magnesium, as well as nuts in general. I've calculated the relative mineral density of many many foods: https://kale.world/c

It's funny to keep trying to convince people you are a "real pedophile" (TM). In particular, with a zero-day account. I don't merely question the veracity of your feelings; I am calling your entire account (both the literal user account, and also the retelling of your stories) fiction.

It's also very suspect that you picked "Cuties" which was the prior round of moral outrage; it is almost as though, rather than being a "real pedophile" (TM) you are just sifting through Tucker Carlson's satanic panics to make provocative points that suit whatever weird agenda you have.

Lastly (and I do mean lastly, as after this, I'm done engaging you in discourse) it's interesting that you're sweating me, specifically. Every single comment on your fake identity "real pedophile" (TM) 4 hour old account is in response to me.
Seems like it needs a way for users to decide what they share so that we can just share the content and let the ads 404. Hell maybe we can even pay each other--both for the hosting and for the data work necessary to keep the malware (e.g. ads) out.
Your old one doesn't go away unless you delete that account. You don't automatically get to keep your old handle on the new server because it may already be taken (handles aren't unique across the entire network), but if it isn't you can keep it by normal registration.
> They were careful to say "under the rules of C,"

Yes, and under the rules of C, division by zero has a side effect, namely invoking undefined behaviour.

> The problem for me is that the compiler is not obliged to check that the code is following the rules.

That part's actually fine (annoying, but ultimately a reasonable consequence of the "rules the compiler can check" issue); the real(ly bad and insidious) problem is that when the compiler does check that the code is following the rules, it's allowed to do it in deliberately backward way that uses any case of not following the rules as a excuse to break unrelated code.

> "Most of the time" is doing a lot of work there, most is 75-80%. 20% is not negligible to me.

If I'm on game show, and I have to (e.g.) pick a door to win a prize, with one strategy winning 80% of the time, and another that wins 20% of the time, I know what I'm using.

And it's not like it's even close (51/49 or even 60/40). This is a substantial "most".
> The fact that they can just print money of out thin air (which caused the inflation) should scare people way more than it did.

Yes, crypto bros are scared, that's why they invest in crypto. However, every exporter out there want to swap his/her physical assets with US dollars. That's the difference between the crypto crowd and others.
Also the modem dialup… What is it??
Disclaimer: I am a maintainer of WasmEdge. WASI-NN allows Wasm to be a wrapper of native tensor frameworks — very much the same way Python is a wrapper for Tensorflow and PyTorch.

The benefit of using Wasm as a wrapper is its high performance (Use Rust to prepare data) and multi language support (inference in JS!)

WasmEdge supports Tensorflow, PyTorch, and OpenVINO as wasi-NN backends.

Unless you are using Haskell or Rust then static typing is a terrible way to check if your program is correct.

You need unit tests to confirm the correctness of your program. And unit tests check most of the types for free. So you don't need static typing after all.

The party breakdown doesn't seem very interesting to me. A huge chunk of the money went to one pro-crypto long-shot candidate who got trounced 2-to-1 in the primary election. That one block of money distorts any aggregate analysis.
That's a poor take. PewDiePie ABSOLUTELY knew what he was doing. He simply banked on it being edgy enough to only piss off some people. He knows his numbers and analytics, he knows straddling the line between what is acceptable or not gets the most outrage, clickbait, and views.

Meanwhile a history teacher and film maker on youtube dresses up as a literal nazi in several videos, including swastika, and does not get cancelled because it's pretty good satire.

Freedom of speech means you get to tell any joke you want, but freedom of speech does not mean people have to treat your actions as a joke just because you meant it as a joke. You don't get to be the sole arbiter of the "goodness" of your actions, because not meaning to hurt people doesn't let you off the hook for hurting people.
I experienced these problems with Zombicide. It left such a bad taste I never bothered to try any other module. Maybe it's just Zombicide?
People vote for energy that doesn't impoverish them. That's fine in my book. Jimmy Carter was a disaster and the idea that solar just needed more investment was and still is a sick joke.

At the end of the day, "being green" is tantamount to depriving people of cheap, reliable energy and thus destroying living standards. I don't blame them for choosing against impoverishment.
Yes.

It's reasonable to assume that any somewhat socially competent person doesn't relish the idea of letting people go.

That should be a given.

And taking responsibility is just restating the fact that the CEO has all the power while (in this case) nothing the individual employee could do would have prevented it.

The CEO did not fire himself for failing and is (probably) still wealthy and doesn't need to potentially uproot his life.

Hyundai/Genesis remote control vulnerability affecting vehicles made after 2012
Fast forward individual lives, and see how many elderly are now running into a similar Catch 22 with the increasing rates of dementia. Our cultural fixation with individualism and agency leaves a lot of folks in a gray area where they lose their ability to manage their own lives but are not yet clear cases for the state to protect.

During this limbo, people are at great risk for exploitation as well as avoidable catastrophes due to simply being invisible during their decline. Rather than willful neglect, there is simply nobody there with assigned duty to steer folks on the least unhappy path.

Ironically, people with mental illnesses appear to be much more likely to develop dementia too. So they can experience multiple flavors of this tragedy.
Great site, but is it finished? If not, perhaps it would benefit from a yellow and black flashing "Under Construction" banner.
Will improve! Thanks!

One of the challenges is that Wasm supports multiple languages. So, we will have to decide to start from a Rust app or a JS app or something else. Would love your suggestions.
You're not wrong, but I doubt very many people who think the Illuminati exist are Catholics. One can be a Christian without being a Catholic - and it only adds to the self-reenforcing narrative: If Christianity was taken over by a shadowy evil cadre, why not any other large organization?

To me the big mystery isn't why some people believe untestable self-reenforcing ideas, but why any of us don't. Being skeptical and careful with your conclusions is the harder option, by far.
Necessary footnote:

Peas (gen Pisum) are very close to gen Lathyrus. Many of this wild flowers use a chemical defense to protect their seeds that is accumulative and can lead to serious and permanent neurodegenerative consequences at long term.

Lathyrism is one of the oldest diseases known in the history. Was observed in people with irreversible damages on their spinal cord after eating big amounts of the plant Lathyrus sativus, today known as Pisum sativum or "pea".

The disease develops after heavy consumption of peas for over two months so, to include an unlimited amount of Pisum sativum in the diet as your main source of protein is a terrible idea. Another case of wrong solutions and dangerous advice provided by veganism. If you are doing it, please stop right now and read this:

>The work is downstream of engineering, product, and office politics, meaning the work was only often as good as the weakest link in that chain.

The chain is what is important. This is not a data science specific issue.

Swap in or rearrange any team names to the original list and the last position or two will find this article true.
Most of the time I know the CSS already I have to convert it to tailwind - and devtools uses the same syntax so (as the article mentions) the abstraction leaks.
> took deposits, put them in completely inappropriate investments (many of which are now worthless, all of which were speculative nonsense)

I think it's naive to think this is the case. It's reasonable to assume he knows those tokens couldn't have been worth what he claims they're worth, before or after the FTX collapse. The tokens didn't suddenly drop in value. He has experience as a market maker and remaining delta-neutral. We must assume all of what he claims is deception and/or preparation for the court battle.

Remember that there was a pamphlet for Alameda investors that promised something like "15% return with no risk." FTX also had an "earn" product that was paid out from a marketing budget. These were deliberate actions. They knew what they were doing.
Reasons to Work for a Defense Contractor
A single 110V outlet per parking space is not a “huge” cost, no matter who pays for it. It’s not nothing, but it's cheap enough that I suspect that it will happen everywhere eventually. Most apartment owners are not actually averse to such improvements, as long as they can ensure the work is done correctly. I was able to get the electrical wiring in my apartment improved. All I had to do was ask nicely and let them hire their own contractor on their own schedule. It would have been nice to have the work done sooner, but I can definitely understand their point of view.
I mostly don't care about people losing money who decided to gamble on obviously ultra speculative investments like shitcoins but the story of Axie is particularly sad and egregious.

It was aggressively marketed as a way out of poverty for people in the Phillipines, many of whom invested all of the very little they had in this shitcoin and did not have the educational background to understand the risk they were taking on.

Axie is truly evil.
That is incredibly bad advice to generalize. Not all mistakes one's "enemy" makes are to one's benefit. Your enemy might make a huge mistake by killing your family in front of a lot of witnesses, doesn't mean you should let him because you want to see him go to jail.

Inequality and inequity in network-based ranking and recommendation algorithms
Banks were already collecting beneficial ownership information due to the CDD rule from FINCEN in 2018. Many banks especially those that had past problems with FINCEN/FDIC AML inspectors were doing it long before that. America is hardly a lax jurisdiction, people conflate registering a company with actually being able to do anything with it. Not to mention if the company is paying someone the IRS will know about that, they'll also have the EIN application, etc. Europe has all the supposedly state of the art AML rules but at the end of the day stuff like sanctions violations, money laundering, etc that gets you 7 years in prison in America gets you a suspended sentence and a €100,000 fine in the Netherlands.

I tried the thin-client thing and there are definitely pros and cons.

Second hand thin clients are indeed often cheaper, have more ports, are upgradable. However, if you're buying a $5 computer off ebay, you can't always find everything you want, and you might find that the hardware isn't ideal for what you're doing.

The nice thing about a raspberry pi is you know exactly what hardware you're going to get, what dimensions its going to have, etc, at a reasonable price point.

(Another advantage: when it breaks, you can get a drop-in replacement).

Disentangling Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Compositions
The problem with claiming he was just inept is that he was actively doing things to hide the insolvency - pumping the value of assets in which he controlled the market, doing deals with other insolvent entities to hide any defaults, and conditioning deals on collateral being held on FTX. It was very clear many months back that Alameda was underwater, and that whoever was their lender was going to face a massive default. SBF was both the issuer, borrower and lender of the FTT tokens - and none of that money was meant to be associated with customer assets. There are some simple questions of "Why did SBF do a load of deals in the spring which were clearly money losing?" and the answer is "The only possible reason to do those deals is to hide the massive losses he'd incurred".
I'm sure ClamAV is a great product but to be honest, I've only ever used it in a box checking exercise for ISO27001 compliance.

I also dotted-lined into Tom in the 90s when the big DG NUMA Unix servers were being developed. I was the product manager for the line--along with a bunch of other systems going back to the mid-80s a few years after the "Eagle" in the book was released.

I've shared this before but a really interesting internal publication from the mid-80s was A Year in Development with lots of interviews and photographs. https://archive.org/details/year-in-dev/mode/2up
Yep! I've never seen anything besides DW_CFA_def_cfa, DW_CFA_offset, and DW_CFA_nop in my CIE definition instructions before. Not to say you shouldn't support them or that they don't exist - they just haven't come up for me yet on the compilers I've been digging in to. I've been examining programs I wrote myself, compiled on Linux using a variety of tools (gcc, g++, clang, clang++, rust, go, zig, and jai are the compilers I've been supporting). I've been writing a debugger from scratch for the past few months, so the set of programs I've been testing on is quite small compared to you I'm sure.

I've never encountered a DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression before in the wild, which compilers(s) are you seeing that in out of curiosity? I see Parca supports many more languages/compilers than I do. I do support that opcode (and all the other CIE opcodes) in my debugger, I just have yet to find a compiler that generates it.

Side note, just looked through the Parca marketing materials, it looks awesome! Excited to try it out on some of my stuff and see what I can find.
This book was one of the reasons I studied Computer Engeering. I wanted to build things that make people's lives better.
As someone who's built (and is still currently working on) an app that integrates WebTorrent, I want to thank you for resisting the temptation to cash in on the token craze while so many other decentralization-adjacent projects have been ruined the get-rich-quick crowd. It gives me hope that some of that original ethos is still alive. And good luck with Socket. Super important work.

In the era of CP/M machines, the terminal likely had a similar CPU and RAM to the computer running the OS too. So you had one CPU managing the text framebuffer and CRT driver, connected to one managing another text framebuffer and application, connected to another one managing the floppy disk servos.
Courts are already the arbiter of expression, we have slander and libel in the states. They generally require you to prove that the parties involved knew what they are saying is a lie, which makes them a little toothless in practice. You are free to repeat anything you like as long as you do no due diligence on the info.

Hell, alex jones literally just got slapped for his speech.
I agree that ‘div soup’ is a problem - I’ve seen a lot of react code by new developers that resembles GWT generated DOMs. But ‘div soup’ has other problems too - way over complicated doms are hard to edit and debug - and the problem is better solved by learning CSS basics to avoid all the wrapper divs you see in React apps made by junior front end developers.
I was under the impression that AWS gives no SLAs on an individual instance level or even an AZ level, but a region should always remain up (obviously they're not 100% at that), therefore you need to thoroughly ensure your config is multi-AZ and pay AWS accordingly.

As far as actual observed reliability, I'm curious to hear any others' experiences, but that seems pretty anecdotal.
