I don’t know if you use “efficiency” and “productivity” in the economic sense but I don’t think this is correct. There are examples where efficiency and productivity have degraded standards of living and there examples where it has enhanced standards of living.

The distribution of resources is grossly unfair and that some get to “enjoy life” whilst a great many others toil in unfair conditions is a great injustice.

I was wondering if LTE was also blocked for some reason causing everyone that be forced to use WiFi. Clearly, that's not the case. Are people unable to make the logical jump that WiFi isn't needed on mobile?

Even so, that still meet's whatever UT's goal is that it's not on their network. <shrug>

Edit: clearly, the sarcasm intended in wondering if someone was blocking LTE wasn't self-evident. Followed immediately by "Clearly not the case" should have been a clear indicator that it was a bit rhetorical and not something truly being considered.
We also need EV designs where the batteries are modular and easy to swap out. I wouldn't be interested in a deal where I was compensated financially for quickly wearing my non-replaceable car battery out, because the battery wear alters the usability of the car, e.g. I might find I can only take my family on shorter trips than planned, if my battery is now 80% of what it would have been.

I also wouldn't want the battery level timed around the grid vs my own transportation needs. What if there is suddenly a heavy demand on the grid, and now I can't take my sick family member to the hospital, because the charge was sold to the grid?
Not at all! I had the same question. Sorry for any misunderstanding, I edited my comment.

If that is their experience, they should say so, rather than saying what "usually" happens (their word).

Build your own redis sounds like a good idea, but I found the title confusing as C and C++ are different languages and you're using the old "C/C++" phrasing. I immediately wondered, "well, which is it?"

So I dug into it a bit, and from the introduction I see it's "mostly C with some C++ features". But if you're going to require C++ features/libraries and a C++ compiler, then it's not C. So why not just say it's C++? I guess another way to ask is: what makes it "mostly C"? Is it a market capture decision? Is there some interesting language tradeoff involved?

> Specifically, modularization can and should have been taken as a chance to allow multiple versions of the same dependency to exist within a single scope within an application....

Modules do it to the best extent possible, but they don't make it prominent because, quite simply, it's impossible to do in a way that's good enough to be advisable. In order for a library to be properly isolatable, it has to be written in a specific way and be quite limited. Any kind of input or output, including the reliance on configuration outside of the source code can immediately make the library susceptible to horrible problems when multiple copies of it exist in the same process, even if isolated. So modules allow you to use class loader isolation if you really need it, but they don't try to pretend it can actually work in general.

The main (though not only) thing that modules exist to provide is strong encapsulation, which is crucial for security and makes code evolution much easier.

We're nowhere near close to home charging for the number of EVs estimated by 2030. Go ask around, very few organizations are working on it compared to public chargers. Apartment managers and condo associations aren't demanding them and only homeowners have a say, after they pay for the upgrade. Not to mention, the power companies hate the idea. They won't even let people with solar panels feed their excess power to the grid.

We would need a federal mandate to get there, and I don't see it happening.
Wouldn’t this evidence also be consistent with being “not near enough to the edge to perceive an edge”? And also consistent with that, because of the expansion of the universe we will never be able to get a signal from the “edge” to know anyway?

My problem with an infinite isomorphic universe is that it implies infinite mass. I don’t know enough about cosmology or other physics to understand all the implications, but to me it seems like it would make models of the early universe janky - ie why would it not just immediately collapse in on itself?

Tesla was a concept car at the time, not a mass production vehicle with no intentions of ever making millions of cars, if you don't see why they are different I don't know how to help you. The production is at least as hard as the innovation.

Or worse - others.

You at least had control over the decision to use FSD (bad already, given human driver psychology) and then not pay attention to be able to intervene in a split second (which is ambitious to begin with especially over periods longer than a few seconds).

Below [0] is a link to a comment I recently made about a very dangerous incident I myself experienced with only a much more mundane "lane assist", on a German autobahn, while fully engaged and in control. Imagine I had had something like FSD and had required even a split second longer to get control of the car back... it would probably have been too late by then. I don't think it's a good idea to think well, I can just disable assistants, or FSD, unless conditions are perfect. Some day you will forget.

> I would expect to be paid higher rates for the energy I'm supplying to the grid than those I paid to charge it in the first place

The Tesla VPP[1] model was 1$ KWH to send it back, better than Net Metering which should have paid only 42c.

However, this was coordinated with PGE to match the lack of production (in advance, which is its own miracle) and unlike a car, the battery doesn't change locations or need to be unplugged at random.

Sounds similar to Uber using a contractor vehicle's hidden depreciation and maintenance to shift the real cost of their service.

I doubt the hourly price will ever truly be fair to individual car owners. Maybe we'll start to be asked whenever we plug in our phones to tip the owner of a car our electricity is coming from.

Interesting. Would that larger universe also be expanding and of so, what would it be expanding into? Maybe the larger universe exists in a larger-larger universe?

Maybe the universes that are expanding inside a larger universe would not overlap but repell when they encounter each other, i.e. push each other out of the way instead changing the shape of a universe.

It might be more accurate to say rare earth metals, which are more akin to oil as a natural resource, and are used in chips, batteries, solar panels, and much more.

I expect chip production to be much more geographically distributed before then, though might be disproportionate to what certain geographies can produce. Hard to say, China can make break throughs on its own, but might not

For small uses, I would think tmpfs would be fine. And I would personally tend to think that non-small data probably shouldn't be local anyways (because most data should live in a central database and/or on a SAN or ceph or whatever). Obviously it depends on your exact usecase, but usually.
Actually, I've noticed that if I plug in the displays after I log in, the windows do get repositioned based on the screen they were previously on. I haven't looked into it at all though.
It is culture war, but it strikes me as denialism to call it meaningless. There is a meaningful difference between knowledge work industries, which tend to lean strongly Democrat, and agricultural or extraction industries that lean strongly Republican. It’s not “meaningless” for a political party to underscore these differences. That’s how political a works: do stuff for your coalition that’s bad for the other side’s coalition.
The act of working is not what helps people live a better life. The act of working in humane conditions for human wages and benefits does. Paraphrasing Mencken: A Republican is someone with the haunting fear that a poor person somewhere is benefiting “unjustly”.
Well in theory, it could be done, if one were willing to do it for 50-100 years. I.e. you'd have to indoctrinate the young for at least 1 generation, but probably 2-3 generations into power.

While "widespread" might be accurate generally speaking, it is also accurate to say that it was the least popular war in my life time by a giant margin.

The protests were huge. The House vote for Iraq was extremely one-sided politically. Obama ran, and won, on having voted against it. It was really dependent on your political scene whether Iraq II was normalized or not.

Also not a lawyer, but I think it would technically count as personal information because it's a preference. Even if it's to provide functionality requested by the user, it would still be necessary to inform the user that this preference is being stored, etc.

However, I agree to your second point, that asking the user's browser to store the information, and then have the browser make decisions based on that without anything being shared back probably does not violate GDPR as it wouldn't count as 'processing'.

It would seem (although, without a deep dive into the codebase, I can't be 100% sure) that the tool just adds a class to the body: https://github.com/themesberg/flowbite-react/blob/765fedb3c9...

If this is the case, I think it unlikely that this would be found to be a GDPR violation as Flowbite (or the company which has deployed Flowbite) would not normally be able to detect this preference.

It would be different if for example the preference caused a different stylesheet to be downloaded, which could then be combined with server logs, but overall, it seems as though all of the processing of the data (whether you consider it personal or not) is done entirely on the user's computer, and there would be no processing of any data by the company which has deployed Flowbite, therefore it would not open up any GDPR liability.

Once again though, IANAL.
Are there protobuf throughput benchmarks somewhere? I haven't been able to verify that they're faster than JSON.

Edit: I was able to find these at https://github.com/hnakamur/protobuf-deb/blob/master/docs/pe... but these numbers don't seem conclusive. Protobuf decode throughput for most schemas tested is much slower than JSON, but protobufs will probably also be a bit smaller. One would have to compare decode throughput for the same documents serialized both ways rather than just looking at a table.
There was a point in time where everything in the visible universe was the size of a potato, but the entire universe (beyond the visible edge) is most likely just more matter in every direction indefinitely.

Because the universe follows general relativity, space itself behaves like a fluid. When the universe "expands", that's just space itself growing bigger over time.

> why is current workers paying future workers (now kids) education different from current workers paying past workers (now retirees) pensions?

Well for one thing, education scales with demographic shifts and pensions don't. If less people are being born, at a roughly similar cost/student (administrative bloat aside), educational costs go down as the population growth shrinks. Pensions on the other don't, they only go down on the other end (people dying) and reductions in the birth rate negatively impact the ability of successive generations to pay for prior generation's pensions. Education costs are also strictly bounded per person, as they aren't for life, only for K-12.

I'm not trying to be coy, but it's pretty shocking to me there's multiple respondents that don't seem to understand that the basic premise of public pensions/social security are literally ponzi schemes that are unsustainable with demographic shifts. They utterly rely on continued economic and population growth in order to have enough inflows to meet their outflow obligations, which I would suggest is nearly identically equivalent to a ponzi scheme, where you are paying old investors with new investors money...
The war in Ukraine should make it clear to everyone that China is militarily weak compared to a country outfitted with current generation western arms. Ukraine didn't even have a modern air force, but they were able to beat back Russia. Militarily, there should be no reason for the world not to step up and support Taiwan

China's military is rated as weaker than Russia's.

It is modeled after Russias.

It has much less combat experience.

An invasion of Taiwan is much more difficult than an invasion of Ukraine.

Economically, the world needs to continue to decouple from China. Unfortunately they aren't our friends.

What I don't understand is, checking for integer overflow is extremely cheap in hardware, so why is there any cost for performing those checks? What am I missing?
Those are two very different articles. Yours is all about Taiwan and US policy, but the OP is all about Japan. OP explains and shows how China taking Taiwan could enable the PLAN to strangle Japan's major shipping lanes, crash the Japanese economy, shut down the industry Japan needs for resupply in a war against China, and potentially even cause a famine in Japan. None of that has changed since it was published.
A great visualization, is to imagine that space remains unchanged, but everything in it is shrinking at the same rate.

The shrinking people don't perceive they are shrinking, or that anything else is shrinking. But the distances between things not held together by significant forces (like chemical or gravitational bonds) appear to be growing and growing.

And space isn't expanding >into< anything. It is just relative changes between bond forces and space, creating the experience of more space. There is no impact of this expansion "outside" the universe (that we know of, of course).
Militarily, the US will have to fight what would be identical to an offensive war naval and aerial against China, as they will not have the opportunity to exploit defensive positions in Taiwan.
Assuming V2G means Vehicle to Ground, this is something I would like to see for the following use-case.

I would like to use my car battery as a temporary home battery in the inevitable case of a grid outage. This opens the option to bring energy home from another location. Reduce or eliminates the need for a battery in a grid-tied house.

Am I crazy?

Edit: Granted that doesn't mean the energy company can use my car's battery at it's whim. I think compensation would be required and would actually make a lot of sense. It isn't like the electric company could build out a battery system for cheaper. It would need to be a higher compensation than to PV though. Batteries are more expensive and should be compensated as such.
I heard similar arguments about Russia in Jan 2022. I have a clear memory of my confusion: any invasion ends with Putin at the end of a rope, but all the evidence was of a looming invasion. And here we are.
This is a good idea, I will certainly look at this. There are some planned features WRT caching coming up.

While it is probably a bug, it's probably not a serious one that many people would run into nowadays. Now that https is ubiquitous, there aren't many caching proxies around to cause grief. Probably the only proxies people will experience are where they are behind a paranoid company's firewall, one that is configured to decrypt (and then re-encrypt) all their web traffic. And in those situations, they don't tend to do caching much now. (Because even though you can cache HTTP, you'll hit problems with misconfigured sites and users will blame your proxy for it.)

But programmatically, how do you advertise alternate representations? I'm not sure. Suggestions appreciated.

Sorry, I don't have a good answer for this. I only nit-pick problems in web comments :)

You could set a HTTP header to list the available variants, but there isn't a standard AFAIK so it would only help developers who spotted the header.

But the other thing is that the HTTP client you use could decide to change it's default Accept header. If curl changed to "application/json,q=0.9;/" then suddenly you'd get json (I didn't mention in the blog post but that is also implemented)!

That's cool! Aeons ago, I was involved in developing a web server, where we added support for properly handling all kinds of content negotiation (Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, etc), where you could configure it to deliver the right file based on the user's language, file type preference, etc. It was a large chunk of code, but in the end, nobody really used it. In theory, web browsers and sites could co-operate to deliver the right page in the right language for all their users automatically. In practice though, it never works. No-one sets up their web browser to pick the language properly (who even knows how to change it?) As a result, multi-lingual sites offer to switch languages by clicking on a link, and if they choose a default language, they mostly do it based on IP address (and assumed location)

That's my main usability case and I wanted that to be as smooth as possible.

I think it's the right choice for csvbase, my original comment reads far too critical in retrospect, it's neat that if you curl a URL, you get the csv. But if I was writing code to scrape some csv data, I would still always prefer to download URLs with a .csv extension, because you know what you are getting 100% of the time, and you avoid any unpleasant surprises if some 3rd-party library or tool changes its behaviour.
Was wondering the same thing - if it does well there, it could be a really cheap way to, for example, motion-capture realistic weapon holding in an FPS, provided it can be extended to capture the arms as well using CV.
