When I make a big save on the motorcycle, that always leaves a mark and gives me an afterglow. Mix of adrenaline peak and then its descent, relief, being proud of yourself because Nature and Physics were about to end on top and screwing you real bad, but your reflexes turned the storyline around.

The brain knows that had you not made the save you'd have a good chance of ending up in a hospital bed, significant chance of becoming paralyzed, and non-zero chance of dying on the road like a dog.

The days after are really great, everything is much better. The food tastes better, the sky is bluer, the water is more refreshing etc.

Humans, especially men are made to go out in the wild and put their bodies on the line to face Nature and all the elements that she throws back at them.

When you put your body on the line and you make it back after defeating the elements, that's a feeling that is superior to drugs
Don’t give our idiot Government any ideas.
That's a policy failure. We can't have people getting into bigger and bigger cars to protect themselves from other people in big cars. Having road designs that leave non-car users vulnerable is a problem.
Usually when they carry passengers but with no pilot/s, they get called crewed (or manned) ones, but to be honest, there’s no definitive answer or definition as there’s always a mix, sometimes it’s called unmanned/manned aircraft, unmanned/manned drone, uncrewed/crewed drone, and in Canada they even created their own terminology, RPAS (remotely piloted aircraft system), so take the whole thing with a little grain of salt :)
You're barely coherent at this point.

Nope. We actually in the preliminary stages of the world War, like in China between 1937 and 1942 when it was only the Chinese fighting the Japanese, or like in Europe between 1939 and 1941 when it was mainly just the British fighting the Germans.

You might call it like most did in Europe until May 1940, the 'Phony War'.

But accept it or not, we are currently in the 'next' (is it Third, Fourth or Fifth???) World War. If you're young enough to be in combat, you'd better start getting fit now. And get your Will sorted out too.
That’s your problem. If you believe all communication and activity should be anonymous to companies, why would you willingly hand over your information to those companies?
You say it’s hard to achieve in practice, but the easiest thing you can do to prevent companies having access to your data is to not give it to them.
No, tariffs should not be equitable. If anything there should be a certain threshold of the development status of a country above which the tariffs should apply. It’s fair as well, the vast majority of greenhouse emissions up to this point have been from countries that are currently developed.

The rest of the world will follow because renewable energy is beyond/at the cusp of being cheaper than fossil fuels and no one is interested in maintaining a reliance on oil from the Middle East, Russia and Northern Europe.
It seems like he had a lot of risk factors that they didn't have listed on his home, but once they had the images, his risk factor changed. So they are not renewing his policy. He can try to find another policy with someone else. That seems reasonable to me. You're just hearing one side of the story, from an outraged customer.

It is getting more difficult in California because the state lawmakers have made it so that insurance companies cannot price wildfire risk the way they should. State Farm and Allstate have stopped writing new property insurance policies in California, and Farmers has restricted their policies for new customers.

Also, as I understand it, for homes in cities like the SF Bay Area or the LA Area, typically the biggest risk you face is water damage, not fires. Leak detectors are probably the biggest low hanging fruit you can buy to help mitigate risk.
I was going to say, this person is making the exact same argument I'm making about the mainstream Internet in general, today.

Just morality-lacking trash, at best.
The decay where the waste majority of it is gone in 10 years is just not long enough to meaningfully have a Kessler syndrom. The reality humanity wouldn't even have the launch capacity to put enough into orbit in that time period for it to matter.

The real concern for meaningful space debris issues is in the regions where decay requires 100+ of years.

The articles mentions the ASAT because that's what they used to study orbital behavior and decay.

Also generally, Space.com is universally agree to be the single worst 'space news' page known. I would never use it as a source for anything.

SUVs too - I'm 3x more likely to die in the same crash if I'm hit by one rather than by a passenger sedan.

Of course, the real people hurt are the pedestrians and cyclists who can't participate in the arms race at all. Not to mention that leading everyone to use heavy cars for safety every time they leave the house is catastrophically bad for the environment.
In the UK we have a huge problem with children sending hateful communications online which cause anxiety and distress. As it stands we can only arrest children who are doing this in public but banning encryption should give authorities more power to arrest children who are committing these crimes in private (eg on WhatsApp).

The list really of hate crimes being committed online is endless and these are just the criminals doing this in public:

No, the population of China is not the issue. The problem for Apple is that so many of their products are still made in China that if they anger the Chinese government they risk having their factories closed, leaving them with no products to sell. To say this would be disastrous for sales would be an understatement.
It's just phonetically in a german accent.
I disagree, the flag button is very valuable, especially whenever any other social media goes through some exodus and we get a bunch of new transient users who don't really care about the culture here.

For example, since the reddit exodus, I feel like we've had an uptick in "drive-by" comments (characteristic of reddit) where people just throw in some sort of unproductive, sometimes provocative comment with no intent of engaging.

Flagging is a nice way to clean up trash like that without having to pull in a moderator.
Good question.

`@testing-library/react` and jest to run it. snapshots and a bunch of action code too.

There are more modern frameworks now too that can be used for integration tests, but I haven't bothered yet as the snapshots have almost always caught the issue.

It boggles my mind that react.dev doesn't start off teaching, with writing tests.
Donny was also very petty. He would reject forms that had blank fields instead of N/A or reject forms that were signed with Apple pencil instead of wet ink. Stuff like that.

I agree Google is more likely to eat Samsung shares till they offer an equivalent high end as Apple, but that may take a decade or more with phone life at Google and Samsung support moving closer to Apple's model of six years or more.

And yeah it is way easier to grab marketshare at the 2% range then to take Apple head on with say 40% market share in USA.
The evidence is incredibly limited. Personally I'm more on board with the asbestos contamination angle, and while the companies should be punished for the failure of safety standards, it in no way contributes to the idea that actual talcum powder is unsafe.
A shame this is tethered, or I might consider getting some of this subsidised hardware.

They have huge illiquid manufacturing in China. The government has a lot of leverage over them. Its impossible for them to gamble on this. It's not even comparable to the UK situation at all.
Unpopular opinion: This is a missed opportunity.

What?

Python could have been the one language with a sane multithreading model. Now it risks becoming a second version of Java. I fear this will make it a less attractive programming language, not least because it might lose its beginner friendlyness. For example, without the GIL a lot more care must be put into designing your programs. This can be true even though your own code is single threaded, for example when you use a library that is multithreaded and has callbacks to your code

Why?

Free threading as introduced by PEP 703 is well known to be errorprone, hard to get right and generally advised against, unless you know exactly what you are doing. In other words free threading is for expert (as in very experienced) use only. And Python already has an expert mode - called Cython oer Numba to name just two.

Personally I can see no good will come from bringing free threading to the masses. Yes it addresses a common critique (by many) and need (by very few), but it addresses it in a very risky way (for the vast majority of Python users).

A better alternative

IMHO the far better and still my preferred approach would have been to favor a per-thread GIL with an explicit mode to share particular objects. This would benefit everyone without the risks. It would be consistenly beginner friendly, and above all, offer a safe path to concurrent programming without impacting the whole ecosystem. Heck we could even call it the "Pythonic Threading Model", and it would be seen as a differentiator.
Well it's far easier to have better overall software quality when you have a closed ecosystem with even the hardware and drivers designed by yourself. You need to implement and support only your own use cases with all loose ends cut.

For me the choice is simple. Android allows piracy out of the box and lets you do some pretty advanced power user stuff (e.g. system-wide VPN ad blocking) without rooting, iOS requires a jailbreak to do literally anything. Android will run any browser, iOS is Safari only. Android is open source, iOS is a closed proprietary black box. iOS also does other absolutely ludicrous things, like ATS blocking fetch and xhr requests over HTTP with no way to disable it. It's like it comes with always-on parental controls out of the factory. I'm the admin of my device, not fucking Tim Apple.

Android may be a buggy duct taped amalgamation of random hardware and software, but that's a direct result of it being open and no worse than the average linux machine.
Sounds like this wasn't a jury of their peers, then.
I have yet to see a good frontend test, but I'm waiting to be enlightened. For the most part, it just seems to be things like "if they click this button, make sure this div is gone." That smells like a test double to me.

I've personal experience of police not doing their job properly.

Anything that makes their job more easy will only make them more lazy.

Police work should be hard, because they have to navigate the law if they're to prosecute anyone. Lawyers love laziness, it's sloppy and steps all over lines of technicality.

Also, the legal right to violate citizens rights should never be 'made easier' by any legislation. To be on the end of state-enabled rights violations pretty much entirely ruins any trust one may have in 'the system'. And that trust seems to be increasingly valuable and decreasingly present amongst the Western populace.
This is uber stupid, because it will create way more divided internet (all countries will start separating further) and will create loss of trust in western/UK/US products (why would rest of the world continue to use iPhone/MacBook, google, Amazon, etc,..) therefore it will have huge cost in terms of lost revenue to all big companies. On the other hand there are smarter ways to do what is needed that respect privacy and do not cause such unnecessary economic harm to companies, but hey we'd need to have smart people in the governments (which are full of not smart people). Another aspect is that this will be unenforceable for huge majority of individuals since there will be plenty of solutions that will circumvent this, plus then number of companies will start forming companies in non affected geo's (off shore etc) and provide for example alternative to Viber/Skype/google/etc.. (some already exist).

Dan Carlin is not a professional historian and I've always found this explanation one of those layman, just so stories that is way too pat. I've found, for example, that there are people who know 8 things about China and can confidently tie every single Chinese social phenomena to one of those 8 things. As someone who knows 1000 things about China, many of the explanations are patently against the well accepted consensus (ie: change X didn't happen because China is collective vs the individualized West, it happened because there was a change in tax law in 2017 that altered how accrual accounting worked).

Professional Historians are aware of the 8 things/1000 things divide and are careful to caveat the limits to their knowledge and not get too far over their skis. Professional storytellers have fewer compunctions and can confidently believe and assert things that aren't good history.

It's much more useful for agencies to backdoor hardware. If Intel chips, the snapdragon line, and AMD chips all have a backdoor allowing root, that's most of the devices out there that wouldn't need to have E2EE broken.

Biology's Beloved Amphibian - the Axolotl - Is Racing toward Extinction

https://daily.jstor.org/the-race-to-save-the-axolotl/

The Race to Save the Axolotl - when an axolotl loses a limb, it regrows, and nary a scar remains. But this incredible creature is on the brink of extinction.

The first robust count of axolotls in 1998 estimated that around 6,000 animals lived in each square kilometer ... in 2015, he only found 35 per square kilometer.

The axolotl is the world’s the oldest self-sustaining laboratory animal population.

But it is unknown how long researchers will still be able to work with the axolotl: Like many lab animals, they are highly inbred, which could threaten their survival. To measure how small a gene pool is, scientists use an “inbreeding coefficient:” identical twins have an inbreeding coefficient of 100, completely unrelated individuals a coefficient of zero. For healthy growth, a captive population should have a coefficient of 12.5 at maximum. The notoriously inbred Spanish Habsburgs had a coefficient of 20; the coefficient for axolotls is 35.
People I spoke too are super happy Threads appeared and as their favorite accounts are gradually making their way there - feel they can now consume the content they like without Twitter’s ever-present toxic shit.

There was no popular and populated alternative to Twitter. Now there is.

As I watch this unfold - I think that Twitter is now worth half of what it was a month ago. And Threads soaked in all that value. Not sure how anyone would call it a failure.
Autopilot is the future... What are you doing on these forums if you're so anti-technology? I don't get it.

It's just describing the intention of the team at the onset. Nothing more. I will not update this document once things get really rolling, that's why we have design documents elsewhere. What I personally do with this thing is I put a checklist of "approvers" at the bottom and I send an e-mail to them all asking them to review it and give their nod of approval or otherwise.

FWIW I'm in agreement with everything else you're saying here, though.
I’m pretty concerned about what Apple is doing in China, but there’s no evidence at all that Apple is escrowing end-to-end encryption keys to the government. There’s also no evidence that the Chinese government is using Apple’s non-E2E keys (held in Apple hardware in a cage at a Chinese hosting provider) for mass surveillance. I’m not saying that it’s impossible: I’m saying if you could come up with that evidence, either through reverse-engineering or a verifiable leak from Apple, it would be the biggest story in tech. You would be famous and (if you knew the right hedge fund) probably very rich.
> The only thing that matters in large + long-lived engineering organizations is organizational buy-in, and that's only remotely possible with LTS

This is an archaic view and certainly not true for all Fortune 100 teams.

Plenty of them have digital platforms that bring in lots of money, and staying with legacy tech isn’t going to be good for business when faced with new, nimble challengers. Learning from the wider industry, FAANG included, is the smart thing to do.

> LTS

The key here is to save $$$ and stay secure. LTS is just deferred cost and pain.

For teams with good tests and CI for instance — if they’ve migrated to Java 11, upgrading the JVM is relatively easy after that.

Staying on LTS releases for ages is costly as you’re just deferring cost, as even Oracle JDK contributors have pointed out.

Ultimately it’s a cost/benefit equation, but often it’s economically sensible to bite the bullet and upgrade from Java 8 -> 11, and then upgrade more regularly.

Incidentally, Oracle’s recommendation is to perform Java LTS upgrades every 3 years. Sure you can defer further, but it’ll cost you. Oracle support ain’t free. But most well-run teams with tests and CI can move every 12-24 months. [1]

We had similar anomalies with tri-bands gnss drone before (L1, L2, and L5) with multi constellations support, I even remember before we had similar issues with an RTK enabled system.
It is puzzling because the next day we would bring the sane drone and systems, and as of nothing happened, and since the problem solve itself we never bothered to investigate more.
I guess to me hallucination doesn't necessarily imply consciousness.

"an experience involving the apparent perception of something not present"

I guess it depends on exactly how you define "experience" and "perception".

But yeah there are better words than hallucination that are even more generic and do work better.
We support CapNProto as an import/export format in ClickHouse.

It was contributed by Marek Vavruša from CloudFlare in 2017: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/1387

Since then, we extended and improved the support: added it for export (initially, it was only for import) and improved the performance.

Indeed. In particular the "I don’t believe that industrialization was so contingent on such very specific factors" part. Not exactly a strong motivator.

We can, literally today, see how society responded to an opportunity to bring energy costs down an order of magnitude. Nuclear plants were built, people got spooked from Chernobyl and the industry was basically shut down. It takes no imagination at all to think people in the Roman days looked at coal and just said no. Western civilisation arguably did just that in the 70s. There is even a large contingent recently who say that using coal is a terrible mistake and we should be willing to move to more expensive energies (the exact positions got a bit murky as we don't have enough fossil fuels per-capita and solar is getting cheaper, but back through the 80s, 90s, 00s the positions were clear). Thinking about the dynamics of debate someone in Roman times had known what we know now and started a scare campaign over climate change they could easily have made an argument for just forgoing the industrial revolution. Let alone whatever imaginary threats a pre-industrial civilisation would have come up with in practice. I've seen the weather reports out of China, the downsides of industrialising on the environment aren't exactly subtle.

The evidence of it taking specific conditions to trigger a step change is quite high. We know how important energy is because of the industrial revolution. The Romans didn't have that knowledge. Any resistance at all to the use of coal (like not having coal mines on hand) would have been a real obstacle.
