Good. GDP should not include any of those things. Those are tools. GDP includes outputs and impacts.

Maybe you design a wrench that is 1000x cheaper and faster to use and more reliable. Well, if it makes your car building operation 0.0001% faster, that's the impact. The details of the wrench and how impressive it is are irrelevant to any observer.

If having your genome sequenced leads to far longer or better lives then we would see the impact in productivity. Same with everything else on the list.
My RSS app wasn’t able to find your RSS feed. That’s how I (and I’m sure many others here) keep track of updates on blogs that post occasionally.
"Out of the approximately 10,000 news stories you have read in the last 12 months, name one that – because you consumed it – allowed you to make a better decision about a serious matter affecting your life, your career or your business"

I'd say quite a bit actually. It's helped me make better investment decisions.

e.g. news following tech industry let me get Nvidia at 160 a share.

Not to mention things like entertainment and sport news are useful for making small talk (I like to try to be an accommodating co-worker).

Plus it keeps me informed/shapes my perception of my Government and how I intend to vote.

Yep. But hey, blame video games instead of his policy, and maybe next time old people will vote for him instead of Le Pen!

We use canonical tech in 3000 nodes in 4 different data centers. I would be afraid if LXD is going to be locked with juju for orchestration. Juju is not something the industry has been using and it is the source of most our problems e.g. performance overhead, scalability issues and juju not being mixable with other orchestration tools.

I wish LXD team try to keep it open and stop entangling lxd with the rest of canonical tools.

We do not deploy lxd on scale using snap. We build it and have as part of our packer pipeline on rockylinux 8.

There's no decompression sickness on those subs. The inside is kept at a similar pressure as the surface.
It's important to provide mentorship and guidance tailored to their specific needs. Encouraging them to work on real-world projects, providing constructive feedback, and offering opportunities for skill-building through workshops or collaborative coding sessions can accelerate their growth and confidence.
What is suspicious about that?
About 5 million cars in 1960s vs over 30 million now. But that journey done today would be practically all on the M4, a 3 lane uninterrupted motorway, so capacity has massively increased.
I'm doing it right now and I kind of envy my colleagues that are doing normal work. There are times when I enjoy the ability to focus on things that really interest me, but the paper writing and publishing processes really suck. Also, the random stuff from the university that I have to jump over sucks fun out of the process, for no gain to anyone.
A note for Canadians and visitors to Canada:

Do not collect ANY fossils you discover in Canada.

It is a serious federal offence.

There are specific exceptions but it is beyond the ability of the average person to be able to ensure compliance. What may appear to be an abundant and common deposit can in fact be one which is not part of the exceptions to the collection rules.
the whole point of the pressure chamber is that it remained at 1 atmosphere. until it failed.
No. Subs are different from scuba. They are kept at atmospheric pressure.

For scuba, you are breathing pressurized gasses much higher than 1atm at depth, which causes decompression issues.

I have zero sympathy for Macron, but the article seems to miss an important aspect: it was mentioned in front of ~200 mayors of cities where the riots are happening.

I believe he said this to satisfy his audience, and maybe to try to put pressure on social media so that they cooperate with authorities (to identify leaders and/or limit coordination between rioters).

It's bad because he's still pushing the overton window to the right, pretending this is OK for a the leader of a democracy to consider this. But I don't think they are seriously thinking about cutting social media.
Do you have a git repo somewhere with your configuration.nix?

I was about to suggest it was an option piece, which is IMO worse, as news has to attempt to be reasonable while opinions just masquerade with the same reputability.

But then I scrolled to the bottom, and realised it's even worse than an option piece, it's a long-form advert:

Two questions for people who live in rural areas in homes that were built in a more modern way.

- Do you have issues with pests? More precisely, how often do you have to use mousetraps or call an exterminator?

- What's your recurring home maintenance schedule like?

Two things that really bother me about American-style homes are the seemingly rapid deterioration and the failure to design out pests. It's easy for a stick-frame building to develop a defect sufficient to allow mouse ingress, and once inside, the hollow walls afford them many inaccessible places to nest. I really hate having to regularly kill, or at best relocate and traumatize, creatures that are just looking for a safe place to spend the winter. I have imagined that European-style concrete buildings, with tight-fitting prefab components, would be easier to own, but I have never actually asked anyone with a comparably located home.
For errors that can be automatically fixed by IDE, yes. It doesn't make this documentation ;)

I've seen quite a few cases where IDE's type expansion (whether on hover or in type errors) would result in a dozen lines of nested types. Worse than no documentation at all.
Yeah that isnt possible.

If Mastodon picks up steam, it’s going to end up with regular folk. They will want a single client / interface to simplify things.

At which point it will become a toxic swamp of celebs/etc.
Do you have examples? I haven't seen any in a decade and now OpenJDK is almost the same as any vendor JDK, with small exception of bugfixes that might be included in given vendor JDK before it is merged back to OpenJDK repo.
Samuel R. Delany Reimagined Sci-Fi, Sex, and the City
When it comes to "fake news" the bad part is the "news" and not the "fake". That is, quite a bit of "news", such as Fox News' handwringing about caravans approaching the U.S.-Mexico border is primarily relevant for the emotional effect it has. By faking it you can get a certain emotional effect more reliably and without the cost and hazard of really reporting, but the emotional effect is the same.
The WebOS UI in the LG TVs doesn't have much connection to the phone OS's UI at this point, though it's from the same code base originally, yes. From my understanding, same idea of building apps in an HTML/JS stack, and using some of the original SDK.
> ... the proliferation of GNOME forks and ongoing criticism of the project's core decisions make that clear.

And yet, how many among the major distributions are defaulting to any of these forks?

I see where the criticism is coming from. Let's not kid ourselves: what Emily Gonyer calls the "GNOME community", is just a very loud minority. Red Hat does indeed put their own interests first, like any other company, but they have an actual paying user base, who I would dare say is even larger in numbers than those supporting Gonyer.
1) A few of the things I randomly clicked on there don't seem to have obvious hardware source links.

2) Disappointing the software itself isn't open source.
Anyone smart just uses one of the many different OpenJDK versions, which are free and open source. (I personally use Eclipse Temurin.) OracleJDK is a trap for enterprises that don’t have a connection between the decision makers and the license payers.

Thanks for your reply, friend. As for how to distinguish between real and fake comments, I still don't know how to deal with them~~~
Interesting article. To encourage and facilitate these code review conversations, I recommend utilizing a tool like Pullpo.io (https://pullpo.io/products/channels), It allows all members of the development team to have more enriching code reviews quickly on Slack, so junior developers are encouraged to contribute and grow.

As you said in the article, participating in code reviews is an opportunity for growth in countless ways. Junior developers should feel encouraged to partake and positively impact the team.
So you're just inventing numbers and making baseless claims? Got it. Stop wasting my time

> Anytime your explanation is “well I dont know why they’d blow their own pipeline, or cut off water to their own civizens forever, they’re just that dumb” you have to suspect that may not be the explanation.

The plan was to try and stop part of the Ukrainian counter offensive, and the secondary goal was to cause an ecological disaster in Ukraine.

Thats likely the reason that they blew up the second dam as well.

> Russia even tried to warn the UN security council that Ukraine is about to blow up the dam (around the time of your second link, Dec 2022) so they were saying the same “they are evil/dumb” bullcrap about Ukrianians.

This is a typical Russian tactic which attempts to blame the enemy for an atrocity that they are about to commit.

It's part of Russias extensive disinformation and misinformation campaigns.

You see it in action right now, where the Russian propaganda network has been mobilised to claim that Ukraine is about to blow up its own Nuclear power plant and irradiate its own country for now reason extensibly.

> I watched your twitter linked video. I understand Russian.

You were born in St Petersburg no? id say you more then "understand Russian".

> (putting Russia on a path into NATO)

We tried that, the Russians flat out rejected the fact that they would have to join NATO like everyone else.

> agreeing not to push Ukraine and Georgia into NATO

The Russians already had this assurance from countries before the war even started its clearly not about that.

> CIA NOT arming training paramilitary groups in Ukraine

The CIA has every right to train troops in whatever country it wants to be if it's invited, Russia has no right to dictate what Ukraine does.

Ukraine already had a deal that was meant to stop this war.

It's called the Budapest Memorandum, in it, in exchange for its nuclear weapons Ukraine got assurances from the UK, US and Russia that they would respect its borders and never threaten its sovereignty.

If Russia never bothered respecting the Budapest Memorandum why should we believe they would respect any other agreement?.

> Every expert trivially predicted this would be the outvome of NATO expansion for decades, and were systematically ignored.

NATO expansion stops Russian imperialism, I have no doubt in my mind that if NATO did not exist today that Russia would be causing its own brand of misery in more countries then it is right now.
Cutting off communication during protests is a great litmus test for identifying authoritarian regimes. So great to see Macron going down that path. Even if you don't actually do it threatening it carries the same weight, fall in line or I'll do it is just doing it. Can't say it's unexpected, it's not like France has a history of contesting government working out well for them /s

The fact that he called out Snapchat and TikTok is basically all you need to know that he doesn't believe it will work and is just targeting the social media of young people.
Alternatively, you can downgrade to a version before the license changed, ie: JDK 8u202 and earlier.
Maybe for you, but for many of us it’s almost as if it was just released. A censored platform was of little use, but now you can see all kinds of ideas there. I know I use it more now.

It's only the price for oracle's build, which is naturally the version they push. The source is still open, so there's plenty of third-party builds which are actually free. It's effectively an ignorance tax (which is ethically dubious at best), or a very expensive support contract (both of which fit into Oracle's MO nicely).

For me, it has now been 2.5 years since having watched any local, national or cable news.

It is true that it has made me happier. I am free of the nonsense.

It turns out, every “big deal” only lasts a couple weeks - in terms of those of us who have no control over anything. I still hear people talk about stuff that’s happening in the news, and chuckle when they are on to some new terrifying thing that’s happening after about a week since the last terrifying thing they were freaking out about.
There has been a buzz going around lately about the incredible capabilities of Pandas AI, with many claiming it to be a revolutionary tool for effortless dataframe analysis. Amidst all the hype and praise for its user-friendly nature, we decided to take a closer look and see its capabilities in action.

In the experiment, we used a data report from Google Analytics, specified the goal, and asked Pandas to suggest actions that should be taken to improve certain metrics.
I wonder if they realized a while back this will never go anywhere. So they set the price point high for the purpose of recouping at least some of the R&D costs while getting fewer units out in the world rather than more. The fewer sales, the less visible the failure since they know they're walking away from it. Just a theory.
> But to answer your question definitely building things a handful of people love is my goal.

If that's your goal, then you might be better served by finding a group of users that you care about and can reach, understanding them deeply, and then only learning what you need to better solve the problems that really matter to them. You might end up needing to learn ML skills, you might end up needing to learn design, sales, copywriting, other domain-specific skills, and so on.

> Taking measurements on the "12V" line and seeing voltage dips as low as 2V. Watching this voltage-dip propagate over to the 1.65V reference voltage used by the TI and STM32 chips's ADC.

Did we read the same paper? He takes no measurements, everything is based on theoretical assumptions, schematics and the three youtube videos he mentions in the beginning of the paper.

From the paper:

> The enclosed paper proposes a simple test that can be done to prove or disprove the explanation provided. This test has not been done by the author because of the cost involved with acquiring the needed Tesla Model 3 inverter PWB.

> The details of Tesla's Model 3 inverter design as revealed by Irish engineer Damien Maguire have been presented. These details were used to construct *a hypothetical model* of all hardware and software operations performed on the two accelerator position sensor (APP) sensor signals inside the inverter as they pass from the APP sensor to the electric motor controller.

He doesn't have access to the parts in question nor the car in question.

Also of interest is the authors own comments on his previous papers about sudden unintended acceleration:

I’ve always been really intrigued by the idea of building things as simply as possible and leveraging as many existing tools as I can to do so. My problem is that most of my projects require a web frontend which would mean calling bash scripts from Go (or whatever language I implement the server in). This just FEELS wrong, but I can’t really articulate why. Am I wrong to feel that way or is there some good reason I’m not seeing to not wire up bash scripts like this?

Human nature is the problem which means it’s probably unsolvable. No matter how good your generic CRUD framework is, every person who wants to build a CRUD app inevitably wants to make it unique in some way that the framework doesn’t support.

That is, everyone thinks they can do better. To be fair, there’s no way to know if you can do better without trying. Most of the time you can “try” in your mind though if you are knowledgeable and skilled enough.

Part of the problem I run into these days is too many people designing systems/products without even knowing what’s out there.
