The most popular K-Dramas are the formulaic 1 guy and 1 girl, with a 3rd person for a love triangle. Don’t worry though, true love wins and the 3rd wheel finds someone as well. Eg: Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.

CCP would heartily endorse these brainless plots. Consumers would eat it up.

Not everything needs to be Infernal Affairs. The vast majority of Korean TV isn’t Infernal Affairs. I will admit that China could never make Parasite, but that’s ok. The metric we’ve chosen is popularity, not Oscars.

Side note I’m a bit sad that Hong Kong can’t make Infernal Affairs type of movies anymore. It would show the Party in a bad light.
The local fix is, reportedly, to delete the malware signature file that is breaking ASUS's proprietary malware scanner.

The service fix is for ASUS to make a malware scanner that doesn't have such bad behaviour in the case of a signature file that it cannot process, and to not use a logging mechanism that we knew had this flaw in the 1980s, and improved upon in the 1990s. (-:

If that survey were properly randomly sampled across the UK population, the 95% confidence interval for that sample size would be around +/- 200,000 people: i.e. we are 95% sure that between 800,000 and 1.2M people canceled broadband (or whatever the question is in the survey).

Even if the 6000 people surveyed are selected from those who seek help from Citizens Advice, there are ways to make reasonable inferences from that.

hm, i'd say it's a bit more complicated than that. written and literary chinese has a different (often more concise) style than conversational chinese because certain things that would be ambiguous spoken aren't that way when written. similarly, japanese has a perfectly functional syllabary (hiragana), but people will use kanji anyways because it's a lot easier to parse at a glance.

I get the feeling that the high sticker price for the donated equipment is more an artifact of western military procurement processes than a measure of how much stuff they are getting.

If you consider tanks, for example, the donations tend to be in the low double-digit range. The single biggest contributor is actually Russia, since the Ukrainians have captured quite a large number. They also had really big reserves of all sorts of equipment before the war.
You can provide the classpath to the jshell (usually jshell -c target/classes) and with that jshell can locate your compiled classes.

But you will have to create the instances of your target class object (plus all of its dependencies) which is going to be really cumbersome.

Consider a Spring service class which uses another redis service and a database service and you want to call a method on this service. So now you have to create the redis service first (copy/paste their config values etc), then the database service and then the actual spring service you want to test.

Once you have created the service, now you need to create the parameter values required by your target method, which you would either create using a new Xyz(), variable.setX, setY and so on, or alternatively now try to import a JSON mapper (ok so now we need to add the classpath to the dependencies as well), and then reconstruct the parameter with objectMapper.readValueAsString("{json here}", Xyz.class);

You can see how this gets unnecessarily complicated depending on the project you are working with.

So with direct invoke you have all the class instances ready in the correct state and you can just call a function. The service classes are being setup by your start up procedure anyways. And for the parameters we are currently using the objectMapper approach so its all setup and ready to use.

The interesting thing in these funding debates is the logic that a source of funding would automatically compromise integrity. By that logic, all science is also compromised.

That said, I haven't really understood why some NGOs are so spooked about the EU's planned transparency requirements, which should really apply to everyone. A lot of shady money and connections everywhere, as the Qatargate all too well demonstrates. At the same time, Big Tech is lobbying probably through a dozen of different associations, some of which are posing as NGOs, etc. etc.

> it regularly downloads signature files

Why does a router need malware signature files? It has no business monitoring my traffic, except in accordance with the firewall rules that I set myself.

From the article:

> not keeping my firmware up to date

I've had this (non-Asus) router for three years. I've never updated the firmware.
Dude I feel you, I've had to figure everything out myself. I didn't have an outwardly rosy upbringing, but we have in common the fact that our parents taught us literally nothing. One of mine taught me how to drive, that's it. They never taught me how to do laundry, cook, never took an interest in anything I liked, or anything at all really, and any interaction that wasn't surface level pleasant was met with resistance, frustration, resentment or worse. Any time parenting was expected of them they weren't happy about it.

I'm doing really well all things considered. As someone with older kids, if I may: don't ever lie to your kids about anything, ever, and if they ask you something you don't want to answer, tell them you don't want to answer it. Expect the same of them, and respect them when they don't want to tell you something too, unless it's pertinent to your duty to them. At some point your kids will realize they don't have to listen to you, and at that point they have to want to listen to you or they won't do it. For that, they have to respect you, look up to you and trust you. The only way to ensure this is to live up to what you expect of them and never bullshit them.
I'd strongly disagree with every sentence in your post. Britain does very well in lots of software engineering fields: games, fin-tech, web.

We also have good Computer Science courses at universities. Research at these universities is also decent.

And in Silicon Valley you don't have to go too far before you hear a British accent.
That is a good argument against immigration - don't import cultures in quantities you can't assimilate when they are incompatible with the current culture. Also don't lose wars. Bad habit.
Evolutionary prototyping with a spike and stabilize style.

Write a first version/prototype, to flesh out the details. See if it's even useful. Figure out where the tricky parts are.

Perhaps tear it down and write again. More likely do some wholesale reorganization.

Let it sit for a while. Use it myself figure out what's missing.

Go through again (this is now #3) and fix the problems, further organize the code, get friendly users to test it out and report what real users need. (I'm a sole developer with no QA.)

Start writing functional tests. I don't like unit tests as I think they are too low-grained and inhibit larger-scale rewrites. This usually resolves the final architectural issues.

Then use coverage testing to find out I've only got 80% coverage, so add those. These usually involve error handling, like input files in the wrong format.

(I make sure to write that code as part of development, because that's when it's easiest to think of possible input errors. But I don't write tests for them because the parser and even the supported format might easily change over the iterations, making tests a waste of time, when I know even simple line-based coverage testing can identify what needs to be tested.)

Then write the end-user documentation, which usually teases out a few more issues.

If I can, put it aside and come back to in a few months later. Seeing it later with fresh eyes helps as a code reviewer.

I've got 14,000 tests. Takes about 45 seconds to run the main tests. The full tests include some very lengthy tests that I rarely run.
I assumed that if you are self hosting, that you don't bother using a separate hosting provider for just analytics. I should probably not have suggested anything other than "matomo is nice".

No mention of mobile phones? If you have a good data plan, and can tether your phone, ditching your broadband makes sense. Especially when the uptime of 4G/5G is much better in my experience, at least in populated areas.

In addition, I might come up on a 'quit broadband' stat, as I sit here with my 5G hub. I am just using a different medium.
Most connections in the UK are max 80mbps so if you live in a city you’re probably getting quicker speeds in 4G anyway

As counterintuitive as it might be, I think the cellphone and mobile contract come last (thought switching to a lower plan or a MVNO is an option).

There is a saying that if you don't have money you need connections, so as it gets tougher, communication becomes critical.

In particular missing a message from your bank alerting you of a operation that could get rejected, getting mail from social service of paperwork you need to get in order, alerts for tax deadlines etc. are essential.

On the other end of the spectrum, keeping in touch with your buddy's friend who's a garagist and can fix you in a pinch, keeping an eye on your elderly in case they fall short of something, answering the call when your neighbour needs you to see their kids for an hour or two as they have an emergency is also critical.

If there is a high demand for coders in the UK it suggests that the tech environment is strong. Otherwise what are those coders going to do? I think the issue is more to do with business than technical competence.
Ironically, 8-10 years ago my carrier's cellular network felt so fast that a young, naive version of myself expected to never sign up for broadband internet. I used to actually play video games on this connection because it was way more reliable than my home internet connection. But in the past 4-5 years, this same cellular network has become a high jitter, low bandwidth disaster, despite "upgrades" from 4G LTE (i.e. faux 4G) to what my carrier claims is "5G".

I'm aware this is just an anecdote and n = 1 implies infinite variance and what not, but it's amazing seeing countless people have such a good cellular network they can just ditch broadband subscriptions.

High-Pressure Steam Engines and Computer Software (1992) [pdf]
There should be a law forcing tech companies to sell spare parts at cost + 20% markup.

Heck, these companies could even simply use Amazon for handling the logistics of it.

Some companies like Bosch Home Appliances actually sell spare parts in their own online store at very reasonable prices - so it is doable.
if you focus enough on someones misery you can feel bad for anybody ... even Ted Bundy or Hitler ... but empathy is resource that should be wisely spent and allocated. instead of focusing on people who caused harm to others I can choose to do so for people who didn't. after all compassion isn't working in parallel
Bottom line is we should mandate in the law that if you sell a product, you need to provide specs and schematics of all parts it consists of so that third parties can build and sell replacement parts of same spec and quality.
But Apple are trying the make sure you can’t repair things except through them, or through one of their “authorised” providers which means they are only allowed to do a few types of repairs and there’s no price competition because they have to buy all of their parts from Apple. They do part serialisation, meaning that the parts have some kind of encryption key/serial number so that they won’t work properly until Apple pairs them.
Where can I see Hokusai's Great Wave today?
I made this project.

It is automated and checks museum collection pages for changes in the "on view" status for the various impressions of "The Great Wave" by Katsushika Hokusai that are infrequently displayed around the world.

I've only seen two different impressions in the past 20 5 years and I want to see as many as I can.

The automation is a bunch of Huginn scenarios scraping pages on a schedule and checking for changes. I can't do all museums this way, some simply don't have good websites, but enough are covered to make this project worthwhile. The hard work was finding all the collection pages, figuring out the data to be watched and settings up the automation.

The static website presenting the results is hosted on a free Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute instance running Docker, EasyEngine for nginx. That's pretty much it!

This is the first time I heard this term, and when I Google search "LLM developer" in an incognito tab, different device, this article is one of the first results.

Seems like we should first establish what exactly is an LLM developer.

> When I was at Google, there was a document put together by Jeff Dean, the legendary engineer, called Numbers every Engineer should know.

The personal plug and appeal to authority of "When I was a Google" is unnecessary. "Numbers every Engineer should know" is public and literally linked there. It's a weird way to start a engineering blog post and makes it feel like marketing of one's resume. Then again, I guess that's what most of these engineering blog posts are nowadays.

Indeed Jeff Dean is a legend and needing to add the "legendary engineer" qualifier detracts from this point. Let these things speak for themselves.

How's the range?

I have d-link mesh satellites, and needed 4 around the house just so I didn't have any blindspots. To show how bad they are, when my laptop is within a metre of the d-link main satellite, I get the full 150Mbs of my upstream, but 2 metres away but with line of sight, it drops to ~130Mbs. Leave the room, and it's about 90Mbs :(

I was hoping something like Ubiquiti would be something like the full upstream speed without the horrible dropout-per-metre I'm getting right now. Happy to get a few of them in mesh (if that's how they work) if I can get full speed from my office which is curretly 4 hops away.

Another way to say that is that a minium amount of connection is essential these days.
OTOH the article cited as an example an old guy who go to the library to have internet access. It is very likely he can't even afford a mobile plan with data. I have known a number of people who rely on prepaid and only pay for it when they can. They will send you an email or ask someone to send you an sms so you can call them back.
AFAIK, they have two text chat systems:

- The Android SMS/RCS client

- Google Chat, accessible through both Gmail and a dedicated app

and one video chat system (Google Meet). In the past few years, they've consolidated their communications products.
An interesting thing to note in contrast to this is the massive amount of PE cash being pumped into privet regional FTTP broadband companies. Affluent areas, such as where I live, are even seeing multiple competing companies pulling fibre through the OpenReach ducts. We have two along with BT to chose from in a town of only 30k people in the midlands.

As others commenters have noted, the rich/poor divide is getting wider. On one end you have people canceling broadband, and the other massive privet fibre startups servicing affluent areas.

The country is broken.

Recently had to look at the property market again and the rents have increased significantly, in addition to the usual high cost of living increase and inflation/shrinkflation which doesn't show any signs of slowing down.

I very much wonder how they expect "normal" people to survive. It looks like you need to fall quite far into the highest tax brackets just to be able to rent something decent in London, and buying is absolutely out of reach.

Ironically enough, part of what makes those areas desirable is various businesses (such as food service, etc) that rely on low/unskilled labor to function, against which a war of attrition is being waged on. That war is being won and as a result a lot of those businesses have now themselves failed - I've now seen multiple repossession notices on closed restaurants/shopfronts and more and more vacant commercial property, and the high street never really recovered since the pandemic.

As far as I'm concerned I am considering leaving this country once my current lease expires unless business picks up significantly to offset the increased costs (doesn't look likely from what I see). There is no reason to pay the money I am paying here if I can get better food, climate and general quality of life for the same (or even less!) money elsewhere in Europe.
I'm not German either actually, just acutely aware of the fact that they love to pontificate and made an assumption based on your quote. sorry lad
I use a WRT1200AC running openWRT as my router, wifi disabled, and it works pretty well. I use two WRT1900AC running openWRT to make a WDS bridge and can get about 400-500Mbps of iperf3 throughput, and one of the two serves as an access point. Even though the wifi does indeed have its limitations in the form of missing features, it's been reliable and performant for me.
History whitewashing. The right to vote was won/taken by people who fought for it. “The state” (?) then doesn’t get credit for “granting” it, as if the state was the from-nothing cause.

The Arab dynasties during the Golden Age were multicultural; that's part of what made them so successful.

No it is not. What I liked about the UK was you could get a software job anywhere. Not just London, but out in the sticks, some small town, there will be a software company, hiring developers, selling stuff to industry, off the VC radars. In addition you have the knowledge hub of Cambridge, e.g. Microsoft Research and a startup scene in London, as well as being a financial centre that employs lots of IT for that. Britain should learn to code? It invented it! Turing. "Glasgow" Haskell Compiler, etc.
