> The advantage most European and other countries have under socialism is it means there's a minimum average quality of life everyone. Pay more in taxes but get a lot more in terms of a more dignified, healthier, and longer life free from the slavery of "gotcha!" gangster capitalism.

It will sound like a nitpick but it's not: there's no socialism in Europe. Socialism is an economic system, not a synonym for "socially-focused policies" through societal-level welfare.

European countries are capitalists, completely. What we do have is a better support system for welfare, more labour protections and regulations to protect against the massive power imbalance that untamed capitalism creates but it's not socialism. Not even close.

To me as a user, what's in decline is UI, UX and trust. Lots of software these days is just outright hostile in very "in your factface ways" and subtle ways.

Even software I pay for seems to try to screw me at every turn. "You paid for me? Have some ads! I'll scan everything you do and sell it off to the highest bidder! No you can't copy and send this image to a friend, but here's a link to try and lure them into the walled garden so I can data rape them too. Stay in my eco system it's great. You love it here! Click click click keeping clicking. Moar data to sell! Give moar! Data breach! I'm soz (but no compensation for you."

Oh and when you live off grid with little power you learn to hate electron apps. They are such power wasters. Three things cause my inverter to spin up its cooling fans: games, windows updates and electron apps. (And of course if you have "AC" plugged in most apps seem to think its a damn free for all for power. So its more power efficient to charge powered down and only run using battery if possible).

re: Prefetch and Reconnection Issues

- clear case of misconfigured instance (prefetch) and a bug somewhere in the stack (reconnection issue)

- prefetch behavior sounds like they receive a message, ack it then process it

- i wouldn't recommend ack before processing, because you become responsible for tracking and verifying if the worker ran to completion or not.

- work then ack is the way. the other way around ignores key job processing benefits like rabbitmq automagically requeueing messages when a worker crashes and failure related logic like deadletter queues.

- the trick i've started leaning on with rabbitmq is giving each worker their own instance queue (i call it their mailbox).

- when a worker starts a job, it writes the job id, start time and the worker's mailbox to a db. any system can now look up the "running job" in the database, know how long it has been running and can even talk to the worker using its mailbox to inquire if it is running and if that job state in the db is accurate.

- happy the writer and team found what works for them. ultimately, what you understand best would serve you better, so they made a good choice to lean on their strengths (postgre).
In theory you are correct but the extra ICE parts are for people for whom EVs don't cut it (too expensive, no proper charging infrastructure, usage pattern, etc.). This is actually a vast chunk of the world's population. So if you can't consistently go electric a PHEV is a good mix.

But on the topic of hauling, I can detect some bigotry in the complains about some people needlessly hauling the ICE parts of a PHEV when most drivers are needlessly hauling an entire car for something a bike and public transport do just fine. The environmental difference between EV and bikes is far, far larger than between EV and PHEV.

So maybe let's just agree that some changes can't or won't happen in a single step and some intermediate, less than ideal positions are needed. Complaining about everyone who doesn't fit exactly our model of needs, likes and capabilities is usually just virtue signaling.
That's absurd.

If God exists then God holds you accountable for your actions whether you swear or not, whether you use a Bible, Carl Sagan, Dr Seuss or a copy of TCP/IP Illustrated by W Richard Stevens.

If God doesn't exist then it clearly doesn't matter what document you swear on at all, because the document is just a signal of values in that case.

Either way you are legally bound by the oath you have made and if you broke it the authorities would be able to enforce that against you to the extent enabled by law regardless of what document you use or indeed no document at all.

The document is (like the ceremony itself) just an artifact that is part of the ritual which is a public observance of a binding promise. In that context, choosing one that has personal meaning makes total sense, whether it is a religious text or something else.
Are you trolling?

Well no, God apparently hasn't done that since the Old Testament, but some Christians certainly do believe that breaking an oath you swore on the Bible will have certain repercussions for you in the afterlife...

Perhaps, given the subject matter of the book, he is making a promise to the people and our future. A much better sentiment than promising to a deity he may not believe in, and essentially what is assumed (I assume) to be happening when a non-Christian (or non-practising Christian) swears on the bible simply because that is required procedure.

The consequence of having the AST be explicit is profound.
Oaths tend to be sworn to people with a deity as a guarantor and with the understanding that the invoked deity will punish you accordingly if you break your oath.

Without the "deity as a guarantor" element, the oath becomes a bit weird. The substitution of, say, the US government for the deity would probably work in the narrow sense (the government will, after all, probably retribute painfully if you break your oath - at least for oaths that matter to them), but then again the religious dimension becomes awkward, because public servants are mere mortals like you.

Bret Devereaux has a useful blog article on this topic:

https://acoup.blog/2019/06/28/collections-oaths-how-do-they-...

As with many other rituals inherited from a distant past, there is a discrepancy between what we do and what we believe. In the times when oaths were first introduced, open atheism would be extremely rare. Nowadays, it isn't, so the original construction starts to come apart at the seams.
No Christian can obey all the statutes of the Bible, or else they'll have to withdraw from modern life. The book is contradictory anyways...another part says obey the laws and regulations of the land. So, if the law says you must swear in, what then?

Was raised Christian (no longer one) and even attended a Christian college where we took an oath to be diligent, hard-working students...somebody better not check my transcript because I did the exact opposite.

That puts you at an extreme disadvantage which could be solved with ... money. And of course in history guerillas often have had sources of supply from other countries who are in effect providing the money. All the proxy wars of the Cold War period were like this - the Chinese or Russians or North Koreans supplying guerillas in Africa against non-communist governments or the US or South Africa doing the same for guerillas against "communist" governments.

I'm from Zimbabwe - everything in Rhodesia was about money. Money needed by the government of the time to stop the guerillas and money needed by the guerillas to house them in neighboring countries, feed and arm them.

Now that Zimbabwe is in terrible economic trouble and has obviously rigged elections and much suppression of opposition voters and of course a military coup that everyone denies was a coup, there is no rebellion and there are no guerillas because they would have no support (no money, no safe harbour, no weapons). The Russians, Chinese, South Africans and DPRK have the situation they want and the US etc don't care about it either.
Yeah truth be told I consider that Apple should've waited atleast another year for the M2 Max. Maybe improve it a little further since even the M1 Max it's way ahead of anything in the laptop market right now.

I have always held Carl Sagan in high esteem without actually having read his books.

I was taken aback to watch some Cosmos with my kids last week though, the Neil deGrasse Tyson edition. It came across as overt quasi-religious indoctrination to me. Makes me wonder if science has become a religion in the US.

Tear down the Catholic church, build up the universe as a new drop-in replacement God with infallible science as his doctrine, anoint and celebrate faith-driven martyrs to the cause from history. Yikes. Sounds straight out of The Book of Mormon to me.

(Admittedly it was less extreme than the Bill Nye special on Netflix that I tried to watch with them the year before.)

Just tested on an M1 Macbook Pro and it took 148ms

I have a tool I created that creates a git branch based off a Jira ticket number. If I don't supply a ticket number then it errors out straight away, so I think most of that 148ms is the JVM starting up.
Don't be confused by the example, which semantically just shows a thread pool. It is hard to give an example in code as virtual threads ideally are purely an implementation detail and otherwise just look like normal threads.

In a typical thread pool if you schedule more long running tasks than you have worker threads, you either have to queue your tasks waiting for a free worker or you have to spawn a new worker. If your tasks are CPU bound and you do not care about latency/fairness, queuing is what you want. If your tasks might do blocking operations, you might underuse your CPU, or you simply want more fairness and not simple FIFO execution; in this case you can spawn new threads but OS threads are costly to spawn and schedule beyond a certain number. Virtual threads are simply cheaper threads as the scheduling is done in userspace and the JVM can in theory be smart about it.
this FUD is so annoying. go look it up, it requires less weight to convert ICE to PHEV than PHEV to BEV. In other words, BEV is actually the one lugging around redundant capacity. The Kiro Niro illustrates this fact perfectly as one of the few vehicles that has both an ICE, PHEV and BEV variant.

add to the fact that most miles driven for most people are within the range of PHEV electric range, BEV makes literally no sense.
Almost no word in this is true. Blockers are "reversible": You stop taking them. Their primary effect is a delay of puberty during use, nothing more drastic. "Activists" push them because the negative mental health effects of forcing trans children to go through puberty before they have a chance to decide as adults whether or not to fully transition are severe and debilitating, and it's shockingly immoral to try to actively deny people access to them.
When I gained citizenship of a highly religious country I had to swear an oath with my hand on a cross, with silver Jesus attached. I asked if there was an atheist option and the the answer was basically "No, we have enough faith to know that God will punish you for lying."

The funny part is most of the anti-Java logic is flawed. Maybe using Java will fix that for them :p
Notice how Tesla is cutting their prices.

Battery cost is declining at a double digit rate per year as production ramps up. Within the next 5 years, BEV will be cheaper.

We are one battery breakthrough away from killing hybrid and ICE autos. Even more/better recharging stations might be enough to do it.

Not really. Nearly all of the books it recommends I already know and don't like, rsp. I don't like the author's style.

Elon Musk says Twitter at ‘roughly break-even’ after ‘quite painful’ ownership
no you're wrong. Tesla is cutting their prices because their margin is the highest and therefore they have fat to cut. I guarantee you the cheapest ICE will be cheaper than the cheapest BEV. Even right now the cheapest ICE is half the cost than the cheapest BEV. If you think BEV is going to go down half in cost in the next 5 years IDK what to say.

even now, after price costs, a Model 3 is more expensive than nearly all PHEVs

Of course, it occurs that the non-stupid version of this is to defocus the lens slightly, so the point spread function does the low-pass filtering job. That also tells you why the advice isn't "put a low-pass filter in front of the sensor": it'll be because for the non-moire case you need the resolution.

I have a feeling that based on these emergent abilities, at some point, a sufficiently large multi-modal model will demonstrate a semblance of self consciousness (by way of answering all the designed queries correctly), and the world at large will hail this great achievement, and some hell breaks loose.

And I suspect the semblance of self consciousness is actually a semblance. It will quack like self consciousness but is not actually self conscious.

Just a feeling. But particularly after seeing how these phenomena are organized this way, I can't see how continual emergence of increasingly sophisticated rearrangement and reproduction of information will actually lead to consciousness.
It's exactly because hormones have irreversible life-altering consequences that hormone blockers are the one thing prescribed to children suffering from gender dysphoria, exactly to buy time for them to mature and be able to decide whether to go through puberty as the sex they were born at or if they want to transition.

So if you actually believe what you write, then you should be in favour of puberty blockers as an option when medically indicated.

No doubt that scenario will play out - AI reporting back having found what the most popular answer to a problem might be. But I have done a lot of hunting for answers, problem shooting other people's issues myself. I was smart enough though, to discard much of various threads because "just use something else" or other popular sound bytes that actually don't go any where near the problem that was asked. I suppose in time AI might find the same and ... it's really no different when asking everyday people about who's an expert on something they know nothing or very little about - if Stella has the gift of the gab, talks herself up and makes sure everyone around knows she fixes x and does half decent work most of the time, there's a good chance those who've paid for Stella's services will call her an expert.
