I don't think that really fits together. PCIe (and PCI) hotplug has existed for a while and topology changes aren't new either. ExpressCard for example has done this, as has PCMCIA. Older RDMA buses did this too, as do backplane-based industrial PCs of which there are a really large amount.

I suspect that end-user smoothness based on 'the user is not required to know everything' that makes the likes of Apple implement bus pausing for dynamic topology assignment and BAR adjustment is not available in Linux land because there simply isn't a big enough overlap of people to make this a hot topic.

You need:

1. A person who understands how this works
2. A person who understands what they want to use it for
3. A person who understands what person 1 has to do so person 2 can use it

Usually you get 1 or 2, sometimes both, but almost never 3 except at places like Canonical, RedHat, SuSE etc. because it's too much of an analyst role and not enough of a "I need it for myself and I can build it" role.

Similar but different problems exist in other software areas like when person "3" is split in "business", "end-user" and "licensing" with competing interests. That's where you get the NT kernel which gets split into arbitrary partitions where based on an integer configuration it may or may not want to address your RAM.

Same goes for the old "aperture size" for GPU memory transfers, and later on the BAR resize support. It was never 'hard' to implement, it's just that IBV's didn't bother and mainboard manufacturers didn't care. Yet it was always available and even Tianocore EDK2, Apple's own EFI and (for some reason) BIOS and UEFI from Quanta and Supermicro all did support it just fine. Same goes for KMS and non-blink GPU switchovers where AMD, NVDA and Intel used to constantly sell it as 'impossible' and we all just accepted that. Yet KMS, the MobileFramebuffer (and the old AppleTV Gen 1) and even VesaFB showed that it's totally possible and it's just everyone using the same joke sample implementation from the vendor that's causing it.

Another example would be VESA where DisplayPort topology changes on the control channel side do similar things to PCIe bus pausing. The display controllers and bus drivers should pause on hot plug to let the host decide on the new topology, but implementing that costs time and effort, and you need to have some in-depth knowledge on both the hardware and software side, so lots of companies don't bother. Result: some host+display combinations only work after restarting either end to force it to re-discover the current topology. This even happens in 1:1 topology scenarios where a simple GPU driver update might restart the host bus and the display ignores it and simply stops receiving data until the watchdog timer restarts the embedded processor causing the screen to blink. I'd just dumb low-quality choices and corner-cutting that causes this.
Code ownership correlates with software quality
There are entry-level consumer filaments that would withstand the UV and heat requirements for outdoor use, such as PETG which is UV stable and as strong as ABS.

By entry-level I mean able to be printed on the everymans Ender 3, <$300 printer with little expertise. There are of course dozens of exotic filaments you can print on a slightly more advanced machine and even that can be done for pretty cheap, <$500 perhaps if you have the expertise to upgrade an Ender and tune it properly.

The benefit injection molding has over printing in this case, is these parts might want to be redesigned to reduce sheering at the layer lines on the peg things.

There's absolutely no way to assess the likelihood of lowering your fasting glucose via eating more honey without knowing what you're already eating. The paper itself describes the characteristics of the control groups of the included trials:

> Trial comparisons included the participant’s usual diet (70% of studies), sucrose (15%), high-fructose corn syrup (6%), and mixed comparators (9%).

Kind of hard to know what "the participant's usual diet" means, but I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say the intervention probably helped people who were otherwise eating a bunch of table sugar, HFCS, or both, and didn't help if you weren't eating sugar to begin with. The average diet of a person participating in studies like this is probably close to an average American diet, that is, high in added sugar.

Don't expect honey to be some kind of miracle panacea food. It's just better than table sugar and HFCS.

Japan led the world in nuclear accidents long before Fukushima.

https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/east-asia/article/1913786/mon...

In fact after reading some detailed descriptions of Monju I can only ask "what were they smoking?" because the design of the plant didn't seem to take seismic risks seriously at all.

I was watching a documentary the other day that described how bad their habits were at Fukushima. That generation of BWR has an "isolation condenser" that is supposed to help cool the reactor in an accident, when it operates a huge amount of steam blows out of two pipes that are called the "Pig's nose".

At 9 mile point in upstate NY they regularly test the isolation condenser so everyone there knows what it is like when it is working. At Fukushima they had never tried it so when it produced just a trickle of steam they thought it was working. Similarly they had a pipe that was supposed to deliver water to the reactor core but when they really pumped water into it they found out it went someplace else. If they'd been responsible (like nuclear operators in the US) they would have practiced emergency procedures ahead of time.

Not so recently the similarly shocking findings about the Mediterranean cuisine rich in animal fat also contradicted the common beliefs regarding the saturated fats. If I may be allowed to speculate, I think it could simply have a lot to do with the very basic idea of consuming processed vs natural foods. So refined sugar = bad, refined fats = bad. Our bodies have evolved to optimize digestion and make most of those natural ingredients, but not the artificial, industrial products we had been exposed for mere 150-200 years.

EDIT: for more background, what was stunning is that some cuisines in Mediterranean, like Spanish or North Italian, can be quite heavy on meat, yet that did not negatively correlate with the lifespan, compared to more lightweight variates in the region. I can’t recall the paperwork, but that was the general gist.
currently working on https://hourly.fyi -- pushed to prod November 1st. it's a site for contractors, freelancers, etc to open source their rates in an effort to inform people and educate them on what they might be worth.

there are posts all the times in coding sub-reddits asking what people should charge and 1 post in particular literally asked for a "levels.fyi for contractors" so I made it.

Kind of an interesting comparison. According to Wikipedia, virtu is about 1/8 the size. But other than headcount and apparently market cap they seem fairly close by the numbers.
Where I work, our business is mainly based on using our in-house legacy system which uses Oracle database for storage. Migrating away from Oracle involves completely rewriting the legacy system (which I think should have been started many years ago) and that costs money.
As it happens, we're specifically using Oracle Standard Edition in a RAC configuration which is nice and cheap. RAC on standard edition allows you to use up to 4 physical processor sockets without needing to go to Enterprise edition.

One particularly annoying part of Oracle licensing is that if you run it on a virtual machine, they require licensing for every core on the virtual host - it makes no difference how many cores are allocated to the database instance itself.
This is not true, in many circumstances.

One big one, which does not really help our friend in the EU, is buying from the farmer down the street.

Note that this may seem obvious, but at the same time, it may be not understood by all, so I spake it.

The amusing thing is, I think farmers sell the best stuff local, for the reasons you mention. After all, people have distinct choice locally, so it matters, and it is also where the farmer makes the most profit.

But also note that local retailers sell local too! And woe to the politican, which damages that process of buy local!

The left over does go into a big vat. And thus our EU friend feels diminished in value.

I am sorry, but at the same time, I will keep my local maple syrup.

(Also, amusingly, local stuff is often just canned in a plain can. Like the holy grail in that Indiana Jones movie, plain and simple = good stuff).
Given that you can view the accurate ICAO hex address for his aircraft on registry.faa.gov, it's clear that he's not part of the PIA programme. ElonJet didn't do anything other than automate an API feed from ADSB Exchange, which uses the hex from the FAA.

I find it hard to believe that much lead sticks to the sticky coco beans while they're being dried just out in the open air.

I go outside too - is the same amount of lead sticking to me and my lungs?

Either we're talking super low lead levels here, or it's something else about the processing that causes this - like for example the fleet of leaded fuel powered tools being used to cut the beans down.

E-Rezept was supposed to launch in 2022 but has been postponed until mid 2023. Some regions already tested it. It didn't work out well, so some regions dropped out of the testing phase. I'm pretty sure it won't work well at launch and we will have to rely on printed prescriptions for quite some time until all pharmacies and doctors use the new system.
Not a botanist, but this is not unique to cocoa. Rice, for example, is known to take up arsenic, cadmium, and other nasties from soils. But it varies significantly depending on the rice variety and where it is gown. Basmati rice grown in California, Pakistan, and India is known to have low levels of arsenic compared to most other types of rice.

A good number of popular Honey brands don't sell Honey, they sell some sort of Chinese syrups that mimic Honey.

As a nephew of someone who happened to be a very close associate of Lyndon Baines Johnson, this is my take on the whole thing. John and his brother Robert were allegedly involved in Marilyn Monroe's death, and LBJ used this "fact" to garner overwhelming support in favor of Kennedy's assassination. His true intentions however were most likely that he wanted to make sure that he [1] was not implicated in the "Billy Sol affair" and [2] could become president. Incidentally, if it were not for the fact that Hoover had been pulled into the scheme, Oswald might have gone down in history as a hero. Why? Because he was reporting the progress of the "plans on the ground" to the FBI on a regular basis. Unfortunately for him, Hoover was burying these reports, just as Oswald himself was being designated as the most convenient fall guy. In truth, I believe that he was a patriotic (if naive) "agency man" who gathered much useful intelligence for US interests, including a detailed report concerning operational matters relating to an electronics factory in Minsk, key Cuban assets, and of course details about a plan to take the president's life! It's a very sad twist of fate, but it just goes to show how cronyism can tarnish even the most prestigious institutions. As for official recognition of "the truth", that will probably never happen. It would only open a can of worms that nobody wants to deal with...
Well, well, well. For years I've been talking about how bad this online censorship is [0][1][etc], but people here were pretty chill with what was happening.

This seems great for ultra lightweight applications. Do you ever lean into a framework for more advanced functionality? I don't think I'd ever want to handle user 2fa authentication in a <script> tag for example.
It’s more that the author is arguing that their inexperience is universally applicable. “Why do banks have guards, I’ve never had someone break into my couch cushions?”

Beyond the compliance requirements (e.g. CIS), it’s wrong to assume that disks are always perfectly disposed of – simply never having to worry about featuring in one of those “look what I found on eBay!” posts and notifying your customers is worth the basically non-existent cost of basic encryption. It’s something you turn on and basically never think about again - the performance hit disappeared around 2010 and it’s easy to enable globally.

Beyond that, however, there are two key benefits - the author even almost discovers one of them but didn’t think about it enough: encryption means deletion is probably fast - delete the key and you don’t need to monkey around wiping disks and snapshots.

The other, bigger, one is that it can protect against mistakes or compromises. If you share a KMS-encrypted resource accidentally, an attacker won’t have access to the data. An attacker can’t access a resource with a custom KMS policy unless they compromise the specific role which has access or do more invasive things which will trip alerts. Again, not perfect but it protects against common mistakes like the Capitol One firewall breach, which is why all of those standards started recommending it.
I think this is harder to do generally than it sounds.

The best kinds of facts are gleaned by crunching a lot of inputs / experience. For example, after decades of life, a wise human might have a strong sense that one approach is better than another, or that a certain pattern in life exists. But it's not really possible to point to the specific source of this idea, because it has a widely-spread base.

In the case of specific historic events, however, I would like a clever AI that can cite sources and separate its facts from its opinions.
The problem with all those assumptions is that the "radiological harm" is cumulative and it can accumulate in unexpected ways which aren't random.

For example some isotopes enrich in certain organs and then do their damage for a long time. And there's no good framework for treating or checking "acceptable" risks for example with radioactive dirt or whatever. Russian soldiers dug trenches in the hot zone in Tschernobyl just this year. Do we expect people to remember these sites for the next few millenia? The same goes for any potential spill of radioactive material, and that's why long term storage is such a difficult problem. We don't want any to get out, because we'll never be able to tell who gets what dose.

And "nuclear advocates" like to say coal, preferrably burned in the least effective or safe way, is the only alternative to nuclear power. Which it's not, of course. They like to forget that replacing coal (and other fossil fuels) means an extreme scaleup in access to radioactive material, thereby scaling up the risks. Especially those from bad intentions, but accidents can't be calculated either. They like to forget that while not that many people die even in major accidents, that's just because a large area is evacuated and cleaned up. At horrendous cost. The Fukushima cleanup may reach a trillion Dollar in cost, btw.
I used to put honey in my coffee when I still sweetened it. I read something about it having a slower release process and noticed I didn't have the same ups and downs throughout the day. There wasn't a sugar crash.

As has been repeated often, aircraft movement information is public.

None of this represents tracking his or his family's real time location, because:

a) We can't tell which aircraft he is on from that data.
b) He can use other aircraft, including charters.
c) This only applies to while the aircraft is actually airborne or departing from or arriving at an airport, which is already easy to observe and record by spotters, and does not track him or his family anywhere else.

Curious: what is the version control story like for stored procs? The two that naively come to mind would be

2. Some way of tracking versions _in a DB_ and some magic set of queries that can deploy from said DB.

The evidence I read (it was 10+ years ago) suggests that rolling auctions reduces intraday price volatility and and reduces standard dev of many measures of transaction cost (eg implementation shortfall).

If you think about this variance since there is a party on either side of the trade, and one will benefit and one will lose out. The downside of reduced variance is you will never gain a “lucky fill” that is much better than you expect. But you will also never get a really bad fill either.

Since the whole purpose of hfts In market making is essentially to try to always be the ones yo get the lucky fills, they will on average do this and everyone else will on average lose out (from high execution cost variance). That’s why I said on net retail investors should benefit from this (I think).

I hope that explanation makes sense.
