When buying new appliances, wifi connectivity is a negative point in our decision matrix. We recently bought a new appliance and lack of wifi was one of the few criteria that helped us decide between two brands that had very similar models.
Some financial institutions will let people go for a solid two weeks for things like to prevent kiting or keeping other jobs alive that might be handling the various things in the background.

"Dense deposit" means there's a lot of gold per tonne of not gold.

Manual mining produces good rewards in nugget rich grounds with dense primary rewards, if you move (say) 10,000 tonnes of material you find a lot of gold, even without extra processing (such as gold cyanidation).

When you hit low grade regions there simply isn't as much gold present - not only do you still need to move 10,000 tonnes of material, you know also need to chemically bind and extract in order to get less gold overall.

The pattern is, the easy is cheap (in terms of effort), the harder stuff costs more (in terms of effort), and minor advances in technique aside .. everything ladders upwards to cost more in extraction effort for less return.

It's been true for gold, for copper, for fossil fuels, etc.

Historically you can see hard data for this in something like [1] which is sadly a subscription service.

"The study was conducted in Bulgaria between March and November 2022

Who shall remain nameless. But capitalizing "Data Monitoring Committee" does lend an air of formality --- if you are a simpleton.
I remember a long time ago there was a collection of Geoffrey Hinton facts. Like "Geoffrey Hinton once wrote a neural network that beat Chuck Norris."
Thanks I had a hard time finding the original at all. I do remember it was specifically the one with the blue background in my case, though. Probably not “better” or even as accurate but it’s the one that really stuck out in my mind.
> A report by public broadcaster Bulgarian National Television earlier in the day claimed that the investigation was also looking into breaches of international sanctions imposed on Russia.

There are a lot of Russians which use Bulgaria as an EU base.

The infamous BTC-e exchange was also in Bulgaria and operated by Russians, and engaged in wide-scale money laundering.
That thing is wildly capable.
It belongs at sea.
Not sure where you're writing from geographically, professionally or culturally but I can't imagine doing this to anyone.

In a professional environment, grabbing someone's arm and leading them around by it seems like an incredibly inappropriate breach of that person's personal space.
"If we really care about our future a whole different approach is needed."

Well yes, the current econony (and mining) mostly runs on fossil fuels, that doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2290944-how-electrifica...

But since there is no magic spell bringing them into existence just like that, yes, the transition is powered by fossil fuels. How else could it work?

Don't disagree there. Java support is less than a year old and the Java API is.. not great. TypeScript is the more popular and mature choice.
According to 23andme I have just under 4% Neanderthal DNA - more than 99.9% of people in the world - I have always wondered what that actually means for me as a human.

I am relatively successful in that I have a job I can do, met a partner and married, and have children - so this DNA hasn't held me back in any way I can see - but does it set me apart in any ways? How many of the things that are specific to my experience of the world are shaped by this DNA?
It's a real problem. If you leave a gap for safety (I like a 2 sec gap at least), the cars behind will take that as evidence that you don't care about keeping up with the car in front of you. Then they'll often tailgate extremely (communicating "get out of my way") for a bit, and then sometimes try to quickly maneuver around you and in the process getting dangerously close to you and/or the car in front of you.
Total attention? You would sound like the teacher in Peanuts in the other person's mind while they're thinking about what the hell you just did.

A nice touch that got dropped was that the minicomputer and microcomputer OSes were smaller, more evolved beasts.
So what? If you happen to go faster than the cars that go into the space between you and the one in front, change one lane to the left to pass them. If there is someone in front of you even in that lane, continue at the speed they are driving, leave space in front. Someone goes into the space? Adjust again.

Are you seriously avoiding to leave any sort of space in front of you just because other cars might go into that space? Seems like a dangerous game to play not just for yourself, but for others too.
Makes one think if they should have hourly snapshots combined with integrity checks of the snapshots (and the main database, assuming it is feasible to run that for an online database). They will know within an hour if a snapshot is corrupt + they can restore from the last known good snapshot and not lose too much data and be up relatively quickly. Obviously like most software, there is a bunch of "it depends" but would be interesting to know more about the system.
Why not just fire people you dont like? People do it all the time in America.

I don’t think CV is good enough to rely on for self driving features.

My 6 year old car uses radar for adaptive cruise control and has only tried to (arguably) improperly stop or slow when someone crept over the line into the lane I was driving in. I have no issue turning it on and leaving it for hours at a time.

I have worked with Java for over two decades, and your experience does not match mine.

At $work there are only two XML files in each project:

- logback.xml: configuring logging which is usually only done once or twice and is the same for each project.

- pom.xml: Maven config which is mostly autogenerated by IntelliJ when creating a new project. I only add a few lines for new dependencies.

In rare cases I may use some plugins to do specific build operations, but the actual XML is simple. Most of the time is spent on understanding the plugin itself, and not "fighting" XML. Moving this to YAML has no effect on my productivity

All other configuration is either done using YAML, properties or configuration in code (Spring Boot).

I see Spring still has options to use XML configurations, but I don't see any reasons why anyone would do that in 2023. The "new" standard in Spring is configuration by code, which I have done for the last 8 years.

The ecosystem for Java today can not be compared to what it was 10 years ago. If editing XML configurations is still a problem at your workplace, find a new job :-) Either you work with a legacy system that nobody wants to update to the new standards, or you have architects who are stuck.

"The source said the NOTAM system is an example of aging infrastructure due for an overhaul."

The concept of "lint" a file and the concept of verifying a backup are truly ancient and coincidentally are also completely absent from the description of the problem. People that felt no need to do either 20 years ago are certainly not going to start doing it today, especially when the inevitable system failure in the distant future results in yet another lucrative replacement contract in the distant future for system 3.0.

> It was well understood that mere simulacra (in the original, pre-Baudrillard sense of the term - a representation of a person) were not to be conflated for the person they referred to themselves; the fidelity and character of classical, pre-digital media were sufficiently distinct from "real world" perceptual cues to make this clear.

This is the big concept being questioned today. Why is the "in person" version of a human the canonical "real" version, whilst that person over a telephone, or a Skype screen, or a ChatGPT imitation a "fake" version? Also, for our picture of reality, why is hearing about the world through the rumors of your fellow villagers a more realistic version of the world that one filtered through social media?

> The problem with automapper is that it throws the compiler out the window and invites all the bugs that would normally not be there.

I've seen projects when Automapper was the main reason for the cold startup of an app, which caused terribly slow "write->build->run" developer experience.

So it's not only a problem of runtime exception vs compiler errors. Performance also matters.

> Mapping code is still your code and should receive the same care as your fancy services.

I've also seen project where all mapping code was written by hand and it was required to write unit test for it. It was also not pleasant.
About all I can say is good luck you are going to need it if you want to keep your sanity while dealing with someone like this. Most likely they have a "my way or the highway" mentality and will happily look down on you for insisting on adhering to the existing project standards.

Fun fact: boys are more likely to die as a result of suicide than as a result of an attack or stabbing, use of drugs, accidental poisoning, drowning, fall and any other kind of accident, except for traffic accidents, COMBINED.

Parents should talk to boys about the danger of suicide much more that they talk about drugs and or drowning.

Abstractions are useful to make a box and put horrors of edge case handling or business requirements variability in it :)

But if there are little of those, no need to make them prematurely. Field mapping is something for EF Core mapper configuration or repository implementation to worry about, no need to do the job twice.

You often don't need separate "Host" and "Core" projects either. And if you ever need to migrate to a new hosting solution, it happens maybe once during application lifecycle, and even then it requires some effort.

Replace-all and IDE tools work just as fine if not better for this, no need to inflict easily avoidable pain simply because it looks consistent with "other" solutions that were written 10 years ago.

Well they claim to be "risk averse", the wisdom there seems to be that if you fill out a million forms that qualifies as risk averse because it shows you did due diligence. The problem is they wholesale took that process from the rest of the org and applied it to software which doesn't work.

It's like making a crap sandwich and filling out a bunch of forms proving that it's not crap sandwich, rather than just spending the time you would be filling out all those forms on i don't know...not making a crap sandwich.
Honestly, Joe's is just a random place. If you're near there don't even bother with cheesesteaks. There's so many great places to eat along that corridor, whether you want a sandwich (like at Costinello's or Liberty Kitchen), Falafel at Goldie's, something fancier/more substantial at Elwood, Suraya, Middle Child, Cheu, etc. Or just want to eat at a bar, there's JB's, Kraftwerk and more, with great new places popping up all the time. This is true in most neighborhoods.

The steak shops on South Street (Jim's when it reopens and Ishkibibble's) are probably the best places to eat in a touristy area where there's nothing else better around. Campo's or Sonny's in Olde City are good too if you can't get a table at a real restaurant or just want something quick.
this is possibly in reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doggerland
Yes.
I think this is like the uncanny valley of development.

It's not no-code UI driven stuff you can put in front of a business user.

It's not real coding, which an engineer wants to do.

It's config jockeying, which devs find boring, and is generally far more limited. So you end up building out more and more complex layers of config to work around the limits, including scripts to generate config.. etc.

Seems like what you really want is modular apps that are easy to extend in the native programming language(s).

Also maybe I'm just stupid, but 9 out of 10 times, a text file or csv/demitted file accomplishes most of what you need for pure config that really belongs in config.
That article was generally informative, but they forgot (as far as I could tell after a quick read) to include something very important: How much heat can that Daikin heat pump provide? 3kW? 6kW? 10kW? Can it provide more than a standard air-to-air heat pump which typically can provide less than 7kW under optimal (read: Not that cold outside) conditions? This is important to know before buying one (any type of heat pump)
I guess, this is the vigilance problem cascading. Drivers just don't expect cars in a straight and clear lane in a tunnel to stop at random. (At least, not without warning lights and other signs of alarm.) It's not in the expected range of behavior and nobody is prepared for it, as they follow the dull and monotone flow of traffic.
Performance is a feature. For certain use cases, it’s a top priority. It’s OK to let users know that your library is designed with performance in mind.

It’s also OK to write libraries.

Some people really want to write mean comments, I guess.
Windows does what it can with SmartGuard. Users just click through it. You can enforce signed software plus whitelist if you want in a system policy. Just entertain the thought that now you will have to curate a lot of software on the machines.

You can disable execute for download directories too.

These are not the default because it annoys everyone to no end.
Likewise installing applications just from Microsoft Store. (Where badness has slipped in too.)

And finally, people still get caught with an MS Office document which will be opened from a download just fine and with a fake website.
There is a difference between these three statements:

1. It can't be tested.

2. I don't know how to test it.

3. The tests don't give enough value given the effort required to write them.

The less experience you have with tests, the worse the cost-benefit analysis comes out. This is why people disagree over unit tests. Good tests give a huge productivity gain, but the opposite is true of bad tests. Unfortunately, there's a vicious cycle:

You write bad tests
-> You don't value tests
-> You don't spend time learning to improve tests
-> You continue to write bad tests

Some failures are sudden and unexpected.
It can also be unit tests. You can take any function that has contracts defined and run a fuzzer (or a property testing generator) on its inputs, and its an isolated unit test.

Or you could generate input actions for the entire system to exercise all contracts, and get e2e tests.

Or you could run your code in production and exercise contracts (maybe at a certain sampling rate) to get observability and "testing in production".

Its the most powerful and flexible concept I know of, but it requires thinking in properties (pre/postconditions) which can be a bit tricky.

I can almost hear the lawyers: "sir, we're trying to help get you out of this hole. Could you please stop digging"
Absolutely - but the important thing is that you can actually get a 20kW gas boiler, but you can't get a consumer 20kW heat pump. You can buy the most expensive consumer heat pump you can find, and it won't do at all if you actually need 20kW. So you can as well save the money as you'll have to install a gas heater (or oil or wood heater) anyway.
Say you have to test 15 things to know it works.

Then you make a change, that change impacts 10 of those. You now need to go back and re-test, manually, those 10 thing and check they haven't broke.

That's mainly why I use unit tests, as regression testing.

Also as documentation, if I'm unsure around what a piece of code is actually doing, it's helpful to see tests that hit and find something like.

When_FooIsInThisState_ThenIExpectThisThingToHappen()

Then see the setup and expected output.

It's also good for incrementally building stuff. e.g. I have 3 scenarios I want to get working, I write a test for the first and get it passing. Then I move onto scenario 2, this requires changing the code slightly for scenario 1, but I don't have to re-test scenario 1 as I've got a unit test that is running each time I change the code that tells me it still passes, and so scenario 1 is still working. Then when I do scenario 3, I know 1 and 2 are still working without manually going back and testing them...

They can really save a lot of manual effort.

> I only see React framework authors ignoring Web Components.

See how you ignore everything I write even though I wrote it in the very first reply: "there are multiple reasons why none of the major frameworks and very few of the new frameworks have WCs as their foundation. At best they can consume/embed them and perhaps compile to them."

All you keep saying is "oh they support web components only react doesn't support that's the only question why"

Full on denial and ignorance.

Angular's "support", for example, is slapping on a wrapper, and ignoring everything about web components entirely by loading the angular runtime and everything else Angular behind the wrapper. But sure. Support.
