Hi! I am new here.
I will be visiting Germany as a tourist towards the end of June.
Can I buy the 49€ ticket from my credit card on hvv switch app before 20th June, 2023?
What is the deadline to purchase this ticket? 10th of the previous month or 20th of the previous month?
Should the credit card be strictly in my name or can I have a family member pay for it?
Please if anyone could answer since I couldn't find relevant answers on the internet.
That's my impression as well - the long tail is definitely there, you can listen to music by tens of thousands of niche artists on Spotify, browse Patreon to find and maybe support creators who might write/draw/build/produce just what you were looking for etc. etc. The odds for these creators getting filthy rich have not improved unfortunately, because as their reach has widened, so has everyone else's, so they now have to compete with more people for attention, but it's definitely easier to get niche content today than it has ever been. If you're interested to actually look for it and not content to go with the mainstream of course...

> Submarines and carrier nuclear reactors are completely different beast that have nothing to do with either Flammanville 3 or the existing nuclear park.

To be completely fair, the french nuclear industry is a small world. DCNS (now called Naval Group) did design and manufacture thermal exchanger for civilian nuclear reactors. On the other hand, if I remember correctly, they do work with Areva (now Orano) for some part of the nuclear submarine.
Company that can produce parts (even things like tubing or screws) for nuclear reactors are very few, so they often end up working for civilian and military application.

All of this to say that the civilian and military nuclear industry are very much intertwined, feed each other and in many ways, keep each other alive.
You should still at least care about 'CPU friendly' data layout in memory and data access patterns in your code to make the CPU's life easier, compiler magic won't help all that much there.

This can often trivially give you a 10x, and sometimes a 100x performance difference for real-world single-threaded code, especially if it needs to work on big data sets. Your fancy high level compiler won't magically reshuffle your data in memory to help with prefetching (at least I'm not aware of a language that does).

Most high level languages popular today are "rooted" in the 90's when the latency gap between CPU and memory practically didn't exist and thus don't care about his specific aspect. Explicit control over memory layout is probably also one of the a main reasons why C stood the test of time so well.

That’s exactly how I understand it as well.

The bad thing is that with the modern ways of working and with the fast paced environment, we don’t have anymore the “luxury” of dedicating project time to better ourselves. This is something that each one should/must/has to do on its own, instead of an activity that should be taken under consideration when project time plans are created ;-)

I also liked this phrase from the post, “…creating things that are too good to be ignored, regardless of the setting, is an activity that almost without exception requires undivided attention”.

> starting to question the gain of a project in the scientific space is never really an argument

It most certainly is, at least in the real world. The ISS has cost more than $150 billion so far. That's not "a joke", it's the GDP of a mid-size country. I very much do hope that everyone involved is asking themselves hard questions about whether this expense is justified by whatever has been gained in return. Science is not a magical la-la-land where people have the right to piss away truckloads of public money on projects they feel are important, simply by virtue of invoking vague platitudes about the "need for humanity to know".

There are an endless number of scientific projects all looking for resources to fund them. If (potential) gain isn't the right criterion for prioritization, then I don't know what is.

I'm looking at the ansible playbooks to setup my favourite beefy baremetal Hetzner server (128GB ram, Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core, 450Gb fast NVME SSD, 3.5TB x2 NVME SSDs, 155€/month):

- Install Debian 11 while booted in rescue mode.

- Setup the root file system encryption using cryptsetup and dropbear (to enter the key during the boot through SSH). Involves chroot and some fun commands.

- Setup ZFS encrypted mirror filesystem for the two additional SSDs.

- OpenSSH hardening and Teleport installation.

- Kubernetes installation (K3S)

- Connecting kubernetes to my Argo CD instance or an existing Kubernetes cluster.

And then through GitOps:

- Installation of openebs-zfspv

- Installation of kube-prometheus-stack helm chart

- Installation of (many) postgresql instances and other craps

I have been playing with Linux servers for 20 years and I find this fun and rewarding. But I do understand people saying that baremetal Hetzner is not for everyone. Especially if you start to have requirements such as "data must be encrypted at rest".

You can't compare nominal operation of coal with nuclear. Nuclear is very safe when operating nominally but once in a while there is a leak or something, which sometimes even go unnoticed. And it could affect the surrounding for years.

Then we might have a misunderstanding. If so, I'm gonna need more context for the phrase “as smart as me, but no smarter”.

In the original comment I never claimed there were different "smartness" levels across the ranks, and stated that Juniors can write code that is understandable. It's not about experience or smartness, it's simply about the importance of not overcomplicating the codebase to the best of your ability, no matter if you're a Junior or Senior. To me, that's being "smarter", and it's definitely possible to have this kind of "smarter" in any team.

Ooh, ritalin is a fascinating and intricate one. I also have severe ADHD, and I've also noticed this somewhat paradoxical fact about ritalin.

I think the comparison between ritalin and strattera can be quite illuminating here.

Ritalin is an NDRI(norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor). It binds to and and inhibits DAT(dopamine transporter) and NET(norepinephrine transporter). This causes neurotransmitter to remain in the synaptic cleft for longer. It also acts on some interesting serotonin receptors.

Now, for ADHD treatment, you typically want to increase dopaminergic neurotransmission specifically in the prefrontal cortex(PFC), which is the part of the brain that's underdeveloped in ADHD.

Stranglely there's very little DAT in the PFC, but it turns out NET also works for dopamine, and NET does what DAT would normally do in this part of the brain. So inhibition of NET is clearly crucial to ritalin working.

This is where strattera comes in. Strattera is a selective inhibitor for NET with no appreciable effect on DAT. So strattera ups dopamine in the PFC, but not in the brain's reward centre. Helps your ADHD, but it doesn't make you high.

And the interesting thing with strattera is that it sort of has this same property that SSRIs have in that it has a delayed onset of effect Where it gets more and more effective over time. I believe there are some studies tying this to rewiring in the PFC, but don't quote me on that.

But ritalin literally works starting with the first dose. You get that sudden motivation to actually do stuff and so on.

So I actually think ritalin has at least two different modes of operation, one acute and one chronic. And it's the latter that's doing all the real work, the former is just a transitory kick in the butt, so to speak.

I hope that rant made sense!
It's also about curiosity and fun. The public can fund something they find interesting for the sake of it.

In this blog post, I create code to extract and play song data from MOD files. I explore the structure of MOD files, look at patterns and channels and how to parse this data into a more useful object-oriented format. To achieve this, I've created new classes that translate the song data for use within my player.

As I journey further into this series, I take the first step in playing one channel of a pattern. I investigate the role of the Amiga Paula co-processor's clock pulses in determining the period of a note, and how this plays into the sound frequency. Despite a few timing discrepancies and unimplemented effects, the result is a partially playable version of Elekfunk by Moby from the Arte demo. In the next part of this series, I aim to add more effects and refine the performance.

> You can lose updates

A system without cache coherency can still promise that updates won't be lost. There are lots of way to write rules around update propagation, and cache coherency is just one of them.

Cache coherency doesn't protect you from stale data unless you only read one memory address ever.

> Look at what software has to do in incoherent systems, specific flush and invalidate points which is not the same as ordering barriers.

That depends on the memory model. You could have a system that doesn't guarantee cache coherency in general but works fine if you put in ordinary memory barriers.
