The intentions were good, I don't doubt that, but I just feel so disappointed now. I didn't have any strong opinions about Covid vaccines before, and just did what everyone else did. However, I developed heart rhythm issues few days after vaccination, and some blood coagulation problems (blood is thicker that normal, doesn't matter how much water I regularly drink per day). I am 26 years old, I don't drink nor smoke, I watch what I eat, control my weight, exercise regularly and did these things long before Covid. To the best of my knowledge, I never had Covid either, nor any notable health issues before that. If this is a coincidence, it's some absurd lottery winning luck.

Is the idea that you might be fanning out and want to delay starting the event loop? Fanning out in JS looks like:

const fn = async (arg) => { ... }; // calls some RPC
const results = await Promise.all(args.map(fn))

which might technically be starting the first func before the second is in the event loop, but I don't see why that matters for what I'm doing.

good thing I am not in position of power to choose the stack in my company. if I were, I don't think I'd pick deno over plain old docker container somewhere in someone else's computer. on docker, at the very least I know how to move my project somewhere else in case the data center is on fire.
Ah, a shared solution to this problem is sorely needed in the Python ecosystem. When we developed the Quay[0] container registry, we had a bunch of gunicorn processes all with their own Prometheus client registries (the in-memory data structures keeping track of the metrics), but you can't just scrape this directly. We ended up having to adopt a push model and then even then it's tricky to make sure metrics are designed to aggregate properly.

I don't think this is new, is it? For at least the last couple of years (maybe longer, that's just how long I've used Firefox on Windows) some sites are hardcoded not to allow extensions to run on them. As an example, add-ons don't run on addons.mozilla.org for security purposes. Is there any reason to think this is a conspiracy about ad blockers? I haven't seen anything that indicates this isn't the same as the addons.mozilla.org situation.

In retrospect it was a horrible mistake.
I honestly think that Lemmy and mastodon both have the new user signup process completely wrong. I think what makes most sense is for it to ask you for your interests and then redirect you to a randomly selected appropriate instance in that category. Otherwise everyone just joins the default instance and gets confused

And I think they created Futuremark (company behind 3Dmark), and some other companies.
Twenty years ago such people would have been (disparagingly) referred to as “keyboard warriors” by “boots on the ground” activists. I haven’t come across the “keyboard warriors” term in a long time – most likely because the online “activists” vastly outnumber the activists who don’t confine their political activity to the online sphere.
Learning how to freely take in the content without being meaningfully effected is another of the main tools.
"We've taken away your power and hidden it behind a setting that we have no obligation to maintain" seems to have been the Firefox motto for the last ten years, and continues to go strong.
* A/Cs are heat-pumps (when using the scientific definition of "heat-pump")

* Heat pumps, when referring to HVAC technology specifically, refer to systems that are essentially the same as A/C units, except they're designed to work in reverse.

* The term "heat pump" when used in Europe, more-often refers to geothermal heat-pumps ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_source_heat_pump ) which is very different to an A/C-style heat-pump, though achieves similar end-result (livable indoor room air temperature).

As someone who spends a lot of time in the year in both North America and Europe I frequently come across people confusing the two.
This is old-skool salesmanship. If you don't make it expensive, the sales prospect won't think it's valuable.

Apple has known this since they were founded.
That's a very silly question. "No phones in school" is no different from any other rule the teachers have to enforce in class.

Let's try the same question, with another rule, to make the point;

"Imagine a teacher stops some kids from beating up another kid; if that happens how do you think they will feel about the teacher that did that? Do you think that kid will see eye to eye with the teacher after that?"

At some point there will be a need to set boundaries. That's the essence of socialization and necessarily a part of education. Teachers will have to set boundaries and enforce rules, that doesn't have anything to do with phones.
Only requiring developers to sign their extensions so that they can run on firefox wasn't enough – as mozilla had already done back in 2015 or so. No, no, no, in the name of safety we need to make sure your extension doesn't run on forbidden sites.

Adding to that the USPS receive several billion in tax dollars every few years. It's not a consistent thing. During Covid they received $8.6B in tax dollars. A few years prior around 2015 they received $18B. In 2022 they received $50B. It happens when they go into a loss year. Their website says they are entirely self funded and I am not sure why they are permitted to say that. Maybe it's an accounting legalese thing.
It's more like how you have to be careful with psychotherapists because they may try to sell you therapy you don't really need, and maybe your mate who's a surgeon points that out to you.

But thanks for illustrating my point so perfectly. All the people who think they're most rational on this topic are actually the least rational. Relying purely on mental shortcuts and social cues works right up until someone figures out how they can game you for profit, which is what's happening here (cry crisis = funding, grants, status, fame).

I think they mention fast because the built-in Deno webserver is now faster than node:http. I've been following Deno for a while, and even deployed a service with it, and it's awesome that it has finally surpassed node performance.

I think if you've used Deno before convenient definitely fits, you can build quite a bit without needing external libraries, typescript by default, you kinda just start working on your problem - just a much cleaner version of what node could have been in my experience.
We've almost come full circle with browser extensions, from being rare or non-existent to the zenith of popularity and power in the pre-Quantum Firefox days to now back to being increasingly whitelisted and sandboxed into unpopularity.
When the web was young, there was a lot of information considered "public" like criminal record, marriage records, birth certificates, property records, etc. But those were still fairly veiled because of the amount of effort required to see them. Suddenly these were getting blasted all over the internet because now that was an easy thing to do, and everyone had to rethink what "public" meant.

I suspect we're going to see the same kind of rethink about intellectual property in the age of AI.

You've never seen either have you.
It's kind of confusing terminology. I'll stick with how these terms are used by industry/laymen - heat pump also has a scientific definition that's more broad than how it's normally used.

There's a process called a "vapor compression cycle" which essentially works by moving energy from a cold area to a hot area (which makes the cold area colder and the hot area hotter).

Air conditioning is when you put the cold side of a vapor compression cycle in a building to keep it cool.

The term "heat pump" most typically refers to a device where the hot side of the vapor compression cycle is put in a building to keep it warm.

However, many heat pumps have an air conditioning mode, where the hot and cold sides of the vapor compression cycle switch places depending on the season. So air conditioner refers only to cooling, while heat pump may refer to heating along or a device which can both heat and cool.
I have both HVAC and a ducted heatpump for one part of the home. The biggest issue with the heatpump is that in the climate I live in there are times of year where you may have the heat on in the morning and the AC in the afternoon. Or you may leave and when you return you want to change the temperature. A furnace and an AC can do this rapidly. A heatpump takes time. It's more of a trickle of climatized air than a blast of it.

Also, I'd never want a ductless system as they look awful in a room.

They are the future though. Especially as new regulations go into effect by 2035. Sadly, many American manufactures haven't taken it seriously and are far behind the Asian companies like Daikin.
Why wouldn't that be the case with deno too? Just move the deno executable, that's all you need to run it (and your code obviously) You can even just build and use a deno-based docker image like node or any other language image.
I think that's the difference between "monitored" and "unmonitored" extensions, as called out in the article. Monitored extensions are presumably ones where they actually verify the updates, and so they think it's fine to let them run on sensitive sites.
I'd be for a national fireworks ban, personally, especially during the summer wildfire seasons.

But it wouldn't be fair to attribute the poor air quality today specifically to fireworks unless evidence links them.

The last 4th of July show I watched had designated people on the ground stamping out fires as they started. It seemed ridiculous to me for the city to still do them in such a dry area, but at least each little fire was put out within seconds. It was wild seeing the explosions happen, then tiny people running around and putting them out, occasionally with the help of a firetruck. In the end it worked out pretty well and none of the fires spread or lasted past the fireworks show. But still kinda unreal to witness...
I've probably cut the wrong word to make the title more concise, it's a prometheus client library. (https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/clientlibs/)

This is the library to use in your python code to expose metrics so that Prometheus can scrape them.
The diagram would definitely be useful, it started as something that "you already knew if you need it" but I noticed that there is more interest from people with no experience with these system, I was considering adding more information or making small guides/tutorial to ease into the why you need the monitoring, even for small applications since the price is small. Thanks!
Would the 30min discussion during cargo loading count against the sterile cockpit rule? Obviously the ground is less than 10,000 ft but surely there's a point in time that defines the "start" of the flight when the rule goes into effect.
I have designed large scale systems, but I often feel most of my system design interviewers haven’t and are much more pedantic/nitpicky than is reasonable. Leetcode is better because most people at least understand the questions they’re asking.

Last time I did a system design interview I mentioned database triggers as a way to maintain some kind of data invariant, which flustered my interviewer and I guess made it so their canned follow up questions didn’t work, so they asked if I could think of any other approach (the one they had in mind). I couldn’t and it made the interview very painful.
why is this downvoted? They literaly don't care about their users at all, in any sense. Major features that chrome has for years are ignored in now decades long bug reports while they continue to add google telemetry and waste all the money google gives them on VPNs, pocket and now AI. Is there any other open source project that does this? They are a project, not a comapny. They don't need to pay millions of dollars to a CEO so they can catch the AI train they just need to be a web browser.

I used to use violentmonkey to fix websites that I don't like for various reasons. After they rewrote firefox mobile they tried to and mostly succeeded in getting rid of extensions, which IIRC they claimed they didn't know people cared so much about. Now you need a firefox account and firefox nightly (with even more telemetry) to use perfectly working extensions which aren't included in their whitelist. In what way does this show respecting its users' extension choices?
The difference is whether you add a $20 of valves to let it run in reverse (and possibly some extra smarts to keep it from frosting up)
That's a very optimistic take, though.

Derivative works aren't as easily re-copyrightable. And we're considering context where programmer copy-pasted code from GPT, so probably it won't be rewritten in most chunks.

There's also other part - if there's proof that partial code (even like 10%) is made using non-copyrightable solution it would be very hard to prove that the rest 90% is.

Until the laws address those issues using any code from generator is a huge liability.
It's an industry term for mechanical equipment that can heat AND cool. One piece of equipment replaces your AC AND heat source.

Heat pumps in particular are getting a push from "green" initiatives because they only use electricity for fuel which can potentially be supplied by "renewable" sources.

ie; it's a buzz word.
Tech companies nowadays love to hire product managers. How are product managers different from software engineers when it comes to creating requirements, especially on highly technical projects?
If it's public domain, then no copyright is violated. I'm not talking about public-domain data; the G-G-GP specifically mentioned the possible legal interpretation that training on large amounts of publicly visible (but not public domain) data is itself a copyright violation.

I've only ever visited Phoenix but when I did it was mid July and being outside genuinely did not feel hospitable to human life. That statement doesn't surprise me at all. Unless you're employed in, I dunno, the solar power industry I really feel like you shouldn't be living there. It should be like living on an oil rig.

> Reading news doesn’t have to make one anxious.

I disagree, unless its news ignoring world, politics, suffering and other aspects of mankind's daily grind. Especially if you are smart enough to realize what kind of shit show the human society in 2023 still is with no change in sight. Or what kind of people do get to real power in politics. Or how great the world would actually be if top 50 folks holding power would be sane balanced moral human beings, and what kind of shitbags they are instead.

If it doesn't make you sad or pissed off at least a bit, you are already self-curating the news intensively to experience some alternate version of reality, or have some emotional intelligence issues.
You seem to have high views of institutions, and low self-esteem on your own ability to assess information. Take nothing at face value, and learn from multiple sources. Those institutions you claim have no incentives are just as likely trying to monetize you and lock you into their walled gardens. To each their own I guess.
Meta’s Threads App Won’t Launch in EU on Regulatory Concerns
This author's example does not inspire confidence in the rest of the article:

> "Take the matter of genetically modified (GM) foods, which are overwhelmingly considered to be safe based on current scientific knowledge. Research has shown that people who hold the strongest anti-GM views, believing that they are harmful, are the most inclined to overestimate their relevant knowledge."

If I insert the genes coding the enzymatic pathway for production of a virulent mammalian toxin into a maize plant, that's going to be very unsafe, particularly if pollen from that plant can carry those genes into someone's non-GMO cornfield.

On the other hand, if I make a minor specific edit to the regulatory region upstream from a gene that controls the onset of flowering in a tomato plant, with the idea of producing an early-flowering varietal for northern climates, that's entirely safe (assuming no other accidental changes were made).

Claiming that GMO foods are 'universally acknowledged to be safe' is like claiming metallurgy is universally acknowledged to be safe. It all depends on the specific application and how it's done, e.g. heavy metal pollution is a major issue in many places because of lack of pollution controls.

Placing blind faith in governmental and corporate scientists because they wear the white coats of authority is not that different from blind obedience to the priestly caste of prior centuries. If they can't provide explanations that the educated layperson can understand, and if they can't respond to detailed criticisms of their claims, then they should not be trusted.

nearly half of my year didn't get this and had to master out when we got to quals.
If you have the heat on in the morning and AC in the afternoon, your home is horribly under-insulated (or you are trying to keep in way too small a temperature range).
The thing is (especially where I live) I'd still need a gas furnace. We regularly see -20F to -40F in the winter. While the 95% scenario sounds great, in practice still needing gas means we still need all the gas infrastructure. From my understanding natural gas burns pretty clean. The problem is leaks in infrastructure and drilling, which isn't going away because I buy a heat pump.
Those Finns are incredible. I'd like to think that I might have been a great programmer if only I lived in a place where there is no sun for half the year! /s

A lot of it too is the fireworks themselves. Turns out having millions of people lighting them almost constantly for several hours in an area that had little wind all night and is surrounded by mountains affects the air quality.

- Masters of Doom ('90s PC video game market/graphics)
Yeah, that attitude is one of the things that leads me to avoid Gnome.
It can't be exponential.
If in 1800 there was 1G people, in 1900 2G people and in 2000 6G people, and we fit an exponential curve thought that we get less than 10 people alive in the year 0.
Just like you can't de-compile a binary without loss of information, "source" means that you can reconstruct it, so the training data should be available as well as the code that was used to train it, and the build script that invoked it.
The “record” in this case only goes back to 1979. But “hottest day since 1979” isn’t as clickbaity.
They already have a compressor/packer - so this 2kb represents space 'left on the table' by that packer (either due to the algorithm being bad, or the packer's decompressor being big).

Considering ZIP normally uses deflate, which is LZ77 + huffman. LZ77 is super simple and can be implemented in ~30 bytes of code. Huffman tables are fairly simple, but I can't easily visualize some assembly instructions to implement them, however arithmetic coding in all cases exceeds huffman's performance, and can be implemented in about 60 bytes of code. Total = 90 bytes to save 2 kilobytes. Seems worth it.

Note that both these decompressors will be awfully slow, but for just 64 kilobytes of input data I don't think that'll be an issue.
Yes, it's pedantic, but I think you're right. A price of $0 should mean that people are buying and selling for $0, which isn't as stupid as it sounds because prices (of some things at least) can be negative, so why shouldn't they sometimes be exactly zero?

If there is no prospect of people buying and selling the thing any more, or the thing doesn't even exist any more, then the price went to $NaN, obviously!
