If colleges had skin in the game the system would work much better.

Who are we to declare that they're bloated? If they provide massive value, great.

When a student cannot pay back a loan that is not their fault. It is the fault of the college who claimed their education was worth x dollars when it was clearly not.
This is on the event of the last Ariane 5 launch, but the first Ariane 5 launch failed due to software.

The inertial reference system (SRI) was derived from Ariane 4. Since 5 was faster, a numeric conversion overflowed, which was not physically possible on 4. Since overflow was ‘impossible’, there was no explicit handling. Since the code was written in a ‘safe’ language (Ada), an ‘unsafe’ undefined result was impossible, so the module panicked. The SRI operation at that point was not actually required on the 5, but they had not wanted to make ‘unnecessary’ changes to disable it. Finally, the flight computer interpreted the SRI crash diagnostic data as flight data, and sent the rocket wildly off course.

It'd also make all them look closer to Astro in level of performance (not that the benchmark is particularly scientific anyway)
Modern .Net doesn't really have a similar concept to the Java Platform anyway. The Windows-only .Net Framework did, but the last major release of that was back in 2019 (it still gets security updates, but not feature).

These days .Net applications are fully self-contained, cross-platform, with everything you need in the bin. Unlikely Microsoft could go after people similarly even if they wanted to.

I definitely feel bad for Java developers, Oracle has ruined Java's reputation and made companies more careful around it even if they may not be impacted.
AFAICT, the answer is that you don't buy an IPv6 address.

You're not even supposed to buy an IPv4 address, but a market for IPv4 addresses sprung up due to their scarcity.

Now, I'm not trying to be pedantic here. To obtain an IPv6 address, you need to be allocated one. And that's the job of your ISP, apparently. Which kind of makes sense since 1) that's how your home computer gets an IPv4 address (a dynamic one, these days), and 2) unless your ISP supports IPv6 you'll need to set up some sort of IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel anyway.

Now, you may say "oh dear god are there any options that don't involve my ISP", and, well, good luck: https://www.apnic.net/get-ip/get-ip-addresses-asn/

By default when you're allocated an IPv6 address you get at least a /96 block and thus you'll never run out of sub-addresses, so you really only need one.
As a lifelong dog owner... this screams nonsense immediately. I'm skeptical that this could even be tested for properly.
Regardless Twitter's history, if you want to compete with Twitter then you are shooting yourself in the foot if you refuse to let branding people handle the branding. It would have been such a simple step to take, and the the only reason it wasn't taken is the same ignorance exhibited in your comment.
I would argue that if you are writing a lot of ‘any’ types before writing types that you a very likely doing Typescript wrong. The vast majority of you code (if not 100%) should ideally be statically typed at any given moment, right from the start. This does not mean though that you need to manually specify types everywhere - you can rely heavily on type inference.
On a perhaps pedantic note.

Why does energy used never include the sun directly?

In the summer we use less heat because the sun is giving us the energy instead. So maybe we should be counting the heating we don't use during the summer as renewable heat instead.

I suppose this would help account for efficiency also. If a house is deemed to need X kWh to heat a year. The difference between the gas used can be used to derive a figure for the 'renewable' energy used, whether from renewable electricity, solar heat, or negawatts.
It was emitting 500 grams per kWh 5 years ago when coal was a lot lower than 2000. Did not really check the numbers, but it can't be correct.
Most likely the intended audience is the press. Now that this letter has been published, journalists can write stories like "Online Safety Bill Under Fire From Security Experts", which make the issue digestible to a lay audience.

I'd love to see me cycling 5 km in the Alps, too.

The proper Alps, not the bit I went up when trying to take an ill-advised shortcut up a minor hill a thousand kilometres into EuroVelo 15.

Hardly any call for it in the context of "commuting", given the combination of low population density and low employment density.
Having an identical, unplugged, fully charged battery with a transfer switch, doesn't really add much complexity.

The funny thing is that the end result is not that different between Germany and The Netherlands. The Netherlands has only 500 MW of nuclear power, because for historical reasons, The Netherlands didn't bother much with nuclear power to begin with.

Germany has a higher percentage for electricity from renewables, because for a long time The Netherlands didn't really bother with that either.

(The Netherlands is now at around 40% renewable electricity production, unfortunately that is only 15% of total energy use)

Mathematically not wrong, but most definitely misleading/unethical. I don't think this was done unintentionally either, because the graph would still be perfectly readable without this change (as opposed to "a few points variation" where such zoom would be required)

It's perfectly fine to display data this way, but they should make it clearer that the start isn't 0 by using wiggly lines or by labelling the origin.

Currently IPv6 addresses cost exactly nothing. You can get them from your RIR. As many as you reasonably need.
Electrically assisted bicycles are a real game changer for the short to medium commute, especially when the wind or the terrain is against you. Note that biking in the Alps isn't really a problem in Germany, more so in Switzerland or Austria. But even in the Alps the single villages are rather flat because they are built in the mountain valleys.

Don't know about now, but many versions ago, Android Studio, just doesn't not start in OpneJDK. It is mainly the UI my guess is. It requires one to install OracleJDK to work. Don't know if it is still the case or not. For most headless stuff, I would image there shouldn't be any difference.
I disagree, I think SWE will be one of the first careers displaced by AI. There is a whole “jobber” class of lower quality SWEs nowadays who are bright enough to do the job, but just barely. The extra pair of hands we needed to help digitize the world.

Once the bulk of the coding can be offset by AI, you probably just need elite SWEs as the check to the system. The lower quality SWEs that fill that extra pair of hands role that we need now will go away because the code they produce will be of inferior quality to the code that AI will produce. They will be an anti-productive variable to the equation and will be gradually lost to attrition.
Yeah. "Small-c conservative". Starmer seems to have decided that the path to victory is to copy Tory policy and attitude as closely as possible, hoping that this will get him favourable press coverage or support from the particular set of "floating" voters in marginal constituencies that he needs.

But the Labour party have never been especially liberal. They're just as likely to enact controlling social policy. And, again, the press are extremely illiberal, they're likely to campaign for more surveillance.

(Don't try to jam the American two-party lens onto UK four-plus party politics, it will not help you make sense of the actual situation).

I imagine one case is those that outsourced app development to some consulting firm, get the software back complete with 1y licence (+licence admin fee for the consultant's trouble, naturally) and then just renew it when prompted because of course. Or it's not supplied with one, but when contacted by Oracle the only negative thought they have is directed it at the consulting firm (grr why didn't they tell us about this).
There is this announcement about a new snap release from November 2022 [1] in which they made this possible. So this is a relatively recent addition. Before that, Snap basically did everything in its powers to ensure that all packages were continuously updated.

It's actually pretty horrifying, because blaming video games suggest that they have no idea what is the real reason for those riots.
It doesn't act conscious enough to fool us though. It doesn't seem remotely conscious even at first blush, and seems less so the more you interact with it. And I think the stochastic parrot "model" of consciousness is very obviously not a good model for understanding the processes going on in the human brain, because it leaves out so many aspects: the fact that self-awareness and metacognition are a key component of consciousness, the fact that humans are trained as they grow up by experimenting with an environment that rewards understanding consistent principles and concepts, instead of just being rewarded for stringing together vaguely convincing-sounding sentences, among others. Like, just because it can create something vaguely superficially similar doesn't mean it's a good model for understanding consciousness at all. That's not how this works.
That's a "rose" though. We call the common lantana "chicken shit flower". I don't know what it smells like, but I'm biased against it.

Maybe, but that's irrelevant today, the original plans were crushed by reality, and now we must accept the mess and move on. Germany could have been in a better situation, if politicians did a better job a decade or two ago. But complaining today about the mess from yesterday, because of the fails from 12 years ago is pointless.
Since you ask, I'll be honest. I don't think your layout is clean at all:

- There's a confetti effect following my cursor around
- There are constant animations playing everywhere, even over video embeds
- A lot of the spacing is uncomfortably tight
- Shadow effects overlap other content
- There are some 30 menu options, buttons everywhere, many video embeds that I'm supposed to listen to?

None of this is enticing me to consume any content on your website. I'm feeling uncomfortable even trying to browse the site to find out what your product is. I've learned that a significant portion of the web runs on PHP and that you have an app and a token of some sort? And you're looking for investors? I'm sure there's very cool ideas in here, but I'm lost in the vast amount of information with inscrutable organisation.

All that aside, there's a big reason that a lot of landing pages look similar: it works. First impressions count for a lot.
It's not the same because maintainable JavaScript code essentially always converts to maintainable TypeScript code. Adding type annotations to existing JavaScript code won't make it harder to maintain. However, maintainable TypeScript code will not necessarily convert to maintainable JavaScript code after removing the type annotations... Yet as well as TS can hide the tech debt and delay repayment thereof, it's still tech debt and you still have to pay interest on it.

Anti-patterns are the same in JS and TS; tight coupling and low cohesion is bad, complex interfaces are bad, unclear separation of concerns is bad, poor encapsulation is bad.
I guess it depends who you ask, paleontologists might say living in cities is a "current trend."
I like the google ipv6 statistics ( https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html ). It might reach that mark for 2025 the global 50% mark, but it will be in a very asymmetric way.

With just a handful of countries over 50% I doubt that IPv6 will be adopted by a meaningful enough majority to have IPv6-only external services, unless there is a stronger push for to have at least transition mechanisms deployed everywhere. Something that players with commercial interests in ipv4 trading like the one of the article will be against.
That's interesting -- I was only vaguely aware of that.

The deal that nearly happened between PalmSource and Symbian when Palm was moving to Arm processors is one of the great might-have-beens of the IT industry.

Symbian was a superb OS, with a choice of UIs not of which matched its greatness.

Palm had a very good, widely-loved UI, but a poor kernel underneath.

The combination could have been industry-beating, but the deal never completed.

Now Symbian is FOSS but nobody cares, and PalmOS is buried inside Access Corp, never to be seen again.

I think WebOS survives as the UI of some LG smart TVs...

> Maybe it's not the preferred one but it has good explanatory power

I don’t think so. Neoclassicism or classicism (which is what I assume these people might be thinking about) were influenced by Greek and Roman architecture to some degree but in no way is the US Capitol for instance is an example of Greeco-Roman architecture.

> Saint-Quentin, Aisne

It’s also tiny and not space efficient. You would have to scale up a building like that to monstrous level to fit 10000+ employees inside and I’m sure it wouldn’t look good or be very conformable to work in.

I’m not exactly defending the Boston City (though I also don’t think it’s the ugliest public building in the world) but in general sacrificing function for form is not exactly the best approach when we’re talking about buildings constructed using public funds.

> redesigned Notre Dame Cathedral in brutalist style architecture, it would fail in its purpose.

To be fair the purpose of the Notre Dame Cathedral no longer exists, or rather has changed dramatically (from a socio-political centre of power to a primarily tourist attraction)

It's been years since I used/administered IRC, but I also think there are common misconceptions about what IRC actually is. At it's core, IRC is an incredibly basic tool, and most of the end-user features come from layering additional services on top of IRC, both at the client and server levels. These services can be pretty complex and cumbersome to manage, and in my opinion, never quite seem to solve the problem exactly. Persistent chat history is certainly the most glaring example.

At the risk of becoming a meme, it's similar to how practically nobody uses Linux alone; it's almost universally accompanied by something like GNU.
it's for phones.

there are much better servers and desktops. using android for these makes me feel sick.
People should complain about emissions and emission reduction. Are emissions too high in Germany? Yes. Are they going down? Yes. Does it have a set date to remove coal from electricity production? Yes. So good things and a bright future, yet a lot of complaints.

In case of Poland neither is the case. I have yet to see an article complaining about Poland, despite it being neither good, nor it having a bright future. Why is that?
Not really a backup. If they were over a deeper trench the sub would sink for 24 hours over the depth limit and cruse. Still more risk than is sane.

How is their comment a complaint? If anything, they seem to be praising tweets being available for unregistered users now.
The current coalition did no such thing. They just came into power weeks before 3 of the 6 were switched off. At which point it wouldn't have been reasonable to reverse the decision to get rid of the last 6 reactors. A decision, which was taken by CDU/CSU and FDP. They decided on the switch off date and did nothing in the following 10 years to reconsider. They also did their best to not grow the renewables instead.

But if you look at the article we are commenting here, that doesn't matter as we now have record levels of renewables, quite compensating for the switched off reactors.
While not the UK you might have heard of this letter from a tiny number of technical experts on a politically sensitive technical topic:

reading papers --> idea

This is not exactly how it works in STEM, at least not around me. Ideas tend to come from working on real-world projects, which then shows the lack of understanding and need for research. The project forks to do the research and merge back to implement the findings. Thereafter, someone on the team will put it into a cohesive academic format, and use it for a PhD. Of course there is reading papers and such, but it is not the source of the idea.

edit: I am also curious, how many really stop research because a similar or tangential topic was explored? "There can be only one"?!

that said, the game is fun! Thank you.

They said it while being a paid representative of the company, at an event that they were paid to represent the company.

Of course they can, they just can't do it while representing the company.

I'm a little confused about why you replied; are you clarifying my position by disagreement?

A lot of Iceland's CO2 emissions seem to be from tourism and metal production for export, particularly aluminium. It obviously doesn't make too much sense to think about this in per-capita terms since they're a tiny country population-wise and there's not really much relationship between their population and the amount of energy used for those things. Also, a large part of the reason that Iceland has so much aluminium smelting is that they have a lot of cheap, low-CO2 power that makes it both more viable and less polluting to do it there than elsewhere. (By comparison, China also has a lot of aluminium smelting these days, but it's so inefficient and high-CO2 compared to the alternatives that it shouldn't be viable - the general reckoning is that it's heavilty subsidised by the government there.)
