Lightning connector is smaller, more robust being a straight male connector as opposed to some weird female-in-male contraption. The port is beveled so it slides easier unlike USB-C whose edge catches and I always have to fumble around. Not as bad as the old USB connector were, with their legendary 3 flips to find the right orientation, but still.

No idea what corrosion you are talking about as I never encountered it. I don't need 240W to charge my iPhone, is't not a freaking Tesla and I prefer to prolong the battery life. I will give you the data bandwidth even though today's wifi is quite fast but for laptops MagSafe is an even better charging port, and I hope someday for iPads too.
Yeah there probably were people that wrote those. Not me though, I had been through the whole wringer before k8s so I knew what it was when I saw it.

I was working on a competitor to k8s at the time though so my knowledge of the subject matter definitely influenced my opinion of it.

I thought it was unstable though, largely due to dependency on etcd which was also unstable at the time. Thankfully that got sorted out though.

While true this is orthogonal to the fact that for a given workload females seem to be more efficient.

That said, they generally have less capability for work at the same mass.

There seems to be a trade off between efficiency and power density, which is what this study is probably getting at.
Many comments seem to miss the point that nowadays native AWS cloud applications are meant to be built by combining various AWS services using Lambda as the glue between them. It's not about serverless vs non-serverless: it's about using cloud services for the purpose they are each good at. In many cases you might actually have more IaC code than Lambda handler code, especially if you can leverage services like AppSync and Step Functions. The application is no longer a set of microservices; it's a set of CDK / CloudFormation stacks and the resources that they define, some of which might be microservices.
I own the model just before the F355, the Ferrari 348. A big difference between the two, in addition to the F355's much better handling, is that the F355 has got 5 valves per cylinder (355 is for "3.5 liter / 5 valves per cylinder while 348 stands for "3.4 liter / 8 cylinders and has only 4 valves per cylinder). The music the 348 produces is already beautiful (especially with a non stock exhaust) but the F355 is indeed one of the best sounding V8 of all times.

There is a trade off in terms of the economic condition and that can be seen in European salaries and the brain drain which reinforces it. It isn't all good for the longer term, but if a majority of people like it, be careful what you wish for.

A society where costs are low is a society where inequality inevitably becomes more severe.

If you get rid of the cost of employees for pharmaceutical prices, pharmaceuticals prices don’t go down, R&D may go up somewhat (since ROI would improve) but in reality pharma’s costs going down will only make them redistribute less money to the local economy through wages. The whole neoliberal idea that if you reduce costs to consumers (particularly those related to wages and staffing levels), public welfare improves, was always totally naive to the reality that this approach generally tends to turn a blind eye towards consolidation of economic power and a decline in the negotiating power of the commons. You can even create a tragedy of the commons amongst these corporations where they all grow slowly because of collective over-exploitation.
I find the outcry here kind of funny...

On one side academics are crying about outrageous fees (rightfully so, since it's us, the taxpayers who usually pay for that), and immediately after, those same people require other academics to pay those same publishers to go up the academic ladder, get tenure, etc.

Pumped hydro does not need to consume water, it can pump the same water over and over. In some places, it can use saline water from the ocean.

The EU report says hydro power can help agriculture e.g. if big reservoirs are built and on dry years the water from them can be used in agriculture.

Let's encrypt is a pretty good example of how simple it can be. The experience of codesigning + notarisation as a developer is poor. If you want to use the GUI and are working from xcode templates, it's fine, but apart from that, you're into glueing together forum posts running binaries and tools with no logs that report success with arbitrary delays that work on your local device but not on other devices.

> Swift is a good upgrade, but not exactly a high level managed language. Most of those languages have very fast or non-existent compile times as well as GC, they tend to be simple-ish, perhaps they have optional types. The Swift DX is quite different to a C# or a Java for example.

Swift has ARC, fast compile times, and a _very_ high level interface to the underlying API's. I think it's very comparable to C# on windows for many, many things.

I think this is a true increase, but don't have anything to back this up. One major reason it might be increasing is our increasingly sterile world. Less exposure to nature, animals, etc , especially as children, might be preventing proper immune function. I also wonder about chemical exposures - food additives, vaccine adjuvants, manufacturing chemicals, etc. Although I think many of those suppress immune function rather than increase it. It is interesting that we don't know how some of these work, but use them anyways. For example, we don't know the mechanisms for vaccine adjuvant work. There's a theory about molecular size, and we know they increase immune response. There's a lot we don't know about the immune system in general.

> And, as anyone who ever had to drive a car with a broken exhaust muffler can say, it's also nothing special...

Loud isn't the goal, the tone is. The Lexus LFA is a perfect example of this[1]. It's not extremely loud for a car of that caliber, but it's lauded as one of the best sounding cars ever made. Poorly designed exhaust (or no exhaust in the case of your broken muffler) on an otherwise great sounding engine almost always ruins the tone and makes it unbearable to listen to. Bad exhaust on a bad sounding engine is just miserable.

It's complicated and qualitative. There's not a quantitative test for "ritual." There's all kinds of things that are very much ritualized (the motions a batter makes when at-bat; the changing of the guard), but they still have purpose. They are read by others as social cues; they are used to show membership in tribe; etc. They just don't have a direct instrumental purpose and have taken on a rigid form.

I think there are an increasing number of people that believe that microservice is not in the same risk category as a normal application design. A design we really need to stop calling "monolith" as to PMs, management, etc. it sounds ancient.

So the claim that "both strategies have tradeoffs" is not true for a lot of people. Microservies have bigger tradeoffs and consequences than a normal application design.

> And this "C++ with exceptions disabled" language defines that exceptions terminate the program.

Except that's not a language that is standardized, so there's nothing that defines anything here. GCC and Clang may call std::terminate() when exceptions are disabled and some library/dependency throws, but unless your build process aborts when a compiler other than GCC or Clang is used, you can't rely on that behavior in general.

Personally, I've found Zigbee devices to be much easier to find, much more reliable than Bluetooth, and the entire sector seems to be heading towards Matter, Thread, and Zigbee anyways.

My battery powered Zigbee devices last at least a year without needing a recharge/replacement, which was a huge selling point (door/vibration sensors, temperature, etc), although zwave is similar if I understand correctly. Most of mine are on year 3 now and probably need new batteries soon.

My order of preference would be Matter, Zigbee, Wifi, and Bluetooth being a last resort option. Z-wave isn't on the list only because I decided against getting a controller for it.

I love that we have options like this.
One of the really cool uses of passkeys is cross-platform sign-in via the QR code flow. (i.e. passkey on phone, scan qrcode on desktop, desktop logs you in). However as I understand it, to be able to do this you need to use the platform's(google,apple, microsoft) caBLE infrastructure[0]. Will open-source passkey managers have the ability to hook into this?

I am actually a lot more interested in the question of the board and investors. If Ms. Holmes is indeed a not-so-smart sociopath/psychopath/... why was half the top level of the US government so prepared to hand her a big check?

A partial list people she convinced: George Schulz (former Secretary of State) and "via him" ...

* Richard Kovacevich, former Wells Fargo & Co. CEO

* Jim Mattis, former head of U.S. Central Command who later became Defense Secretary

* Gary Roughead, U.S. Navy officer

* Sam Nunn, former U.S. Senator

* Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State

* William Perry, former Defense Secretary

* Richard Kovacevich (former CEO of Wells Fargo);

* William Perry (former United States Secretary of Defense); and

* William Foege (former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

* Besty DeVos (former education secretary)

These are all people who decide on who gets to occupy really important positions in the US government. This is not a full list (but I'm mostly leaving out Trump cabinet members ... shall we say for obvious reasons. That Betsy DeVos cannot correctly judge biomedical test performance, fine. That William Foege can't see medical fraud for what it is, not OK. That Secretaries of State cannot tell they're being lied to for 5 years ... I mean the positions these people occupy and oversee are going to be magnets for sociopaths/psychopaths ... and they can't tell?

You seem to be completely misunderstanding what I'm saying. Of course a function compiled without -fno-rtti or -fno-exceptions can keep using those features. There's a reason I keep talking about functions defined in headers. Those functions are compiled in your program's translation units, with your program's compiler options.
There's already Geekbench 5 scores of the 8 core 7840U up from devices like the Aokzoe A1 Pro with scores around 1900 in single core and 10K in multicore. The M2 scores mentioned above are for the 12 core M2 Max. The Aokzoe is a Steam Deck like handheld too so a larger chassis might allow for a little more out of the chip.
That hasn't been true in quite a while, the market has unified around two standards (lightning and usb-c) without EU's intervention. Their previous recommendation from 2010 was for micro-usb and it was toothless as it wasn't a mandate.

The current authoritarian power play for pushing usb-c on Apple is completely unwarranted by the market conditions. It's pure politics.

For reference the iPhone 4 had already been released, so mobile design was already a thing. The viewport meta tag wasn't a thing though, or at least not widespread as HTML5 release spec was finalized by W3C in 2014.

I did not see that the website was this old when I first saw it. Still, I've used websites from the 90s that worked better on mobile lol (I also used websites in 2023 that were awful, to be fair).
I agree with the sentiment but in practice I’ve found that most C++ STL exceptions throw in a “fatal error” type of scenario like a bad allocation and generally not an “expected error”. For example, basic_ifstream::open() sets a fail bit on error, and doesn’t throw an exception.

This is in contrast to python or Swift for example, their standard libraries are more “throw-prone”. Building off the previous example Swift’s String.init(contentsOf:encoding:) throws on error on failure.

So in practice, IMO it is usually safe to disable exceptions in C++. Though, I have run into tricky ABI breaks when you link multiple libraries in a chain of exceptions->noexcept->exceptions and so on! You’re of course at the mercy of nonstandard behavior so buyer-beware. I definitely wouldn’t advocate for turning them off -just- for a binary size reduction.

I assume that someone with inside information from Google has leaked some software and instructions for doing so.

This usually involves someone who has bribed a Verizon support rep or otherwise obtained access to their internal systems so they can "unlock" you.

I took an architecture course with Dr Kogge (author of the book the SECD machine is described in) and chose Erlang for building an SECD machine emulator, because Erlang's pattern-matching syntax for defining functions perfectly matched (if you'll excuse the pun) with "axiomatic semantics".

edit: correction, the SECD emulator was for another class, I had taken Dr Kogge's architecture class beforehand

for instance, the basic 0-ary operations are:

eval({S,E,[],D}) -> {S,E,[],D};

% Stack Operations:
%
% NIL s e (NIL.c) d -> (nil.s) e c d
% LDC s e (LDC x.c) d -> (x.s) e c d
% LD s e (LD (i.j).c) d -> (locate((i.j),e).s) e c d

eval({S,E,[nil | C],D}) ->
debug(enter,eval_nil,[{S,E,[nil|C],D}]),
Z = eval({[ [] | S ],E,C,D}),
debug(exit,[],Z), Z;
eval({S,E,[ldc, X | C],D}) ->
debug(enter,eval_ldc,[{S,E,[ldc,X|C],D}]),
Z = eval({ [X | S],E,C,D}),
debug(exit,[],Z), Z;
eval({S,E,[ld, [I|J] | C],D}) ->
debug(enter,eval_ld,[{S,E,[ld,[I|J]|C],D}]),
Z = eval({[locate([I|J],E)|S],E,C,D}),
debug(exit,[],Z), Z;
I'm confused by your language since you can do "serverless" or "FaaS" or "cloudfunctions" on k8s.
But we already kind of have this problem. If I order a microwave from the UK and ship it to my other European country, then I'm already dealing with a power plug that is incompatible. This also means that the power plugs can't be optimal (ie there's room to improve), because all the different variants can't all be optimal at the same time.

And yet, actually ever improving the power plug design is probably never going to happen.

I had nocturnal hypoglycemia. My blood sugar would drop precipitously while I slept and then I’d get a rush of adrenaline, which would bring my glucose up and wake me up. A doctor told me to drink apple juice before bed. Bad idea. Here’s how I fixed it: low-carb diet and exercise. My theory was that the problem wasn’t low blood sugar, but poor blood sugar regulation. Glucose regulation is a negative feedback system, and by eating large amounts of sugar or carbs, all I was doing was giving my system a temporary spike, which would lead to instability and a big drop later. So I cut out all carbs. That stabilized it a lot. Then I started exercising more. That really helped. And then strangely enough, meditating for twenty minutes before bed also seemed to have an impact.

Now, I’m in better shape and can eat some carbs, but only in relatively small amounts. If I eat fruit, I’ll usually go for a walk immediately, so I don’t get as much of a spike.

It’s also worth noting that I have PTSD, which is strongly linked with endocrine dysregulation, so maybe that’s some of the underlying cause.

The result of all this is that my glucose is now very steady and I’m not having the drops while I sleep. Of course, no doctor advised me to do any of this. This is all n=1 “nonsense” that “evidence based” medicine would ignore.
