I googled and fluorinated PET does not seem to exist. In fact one source said it's not even possible to do that.

And just adding fluorine to something does NOT make it a PFAS! PFAS is a very specific chemical, not everything with chlorine or fluorine is a PFAS.

Nano is on all the OSes I ever encounter. I don't edit things remotely often and it's usually trivial config files.

I tried micro, and liked it but it didn't quite open instantly on a pi and I don't use CLI editors for anything big enough to really need the features.
try looking at a "modern" text editor; the one which appears to have the highest popularity is visual studio code.

It's an awful slow mess that cannot stop itself from triggering unsolicited popups, eating all your RAM and inserting characters you didn't type.

The reality is that this is the reality of programmers today, they want something that does a shitty work for them rather than be in control.

Depends on the error :) If it's "record not found", I redirect to a 404. If it's "can't resize image because file format is incorrect" I log it, and display an error message. And so on.

>It’s a form of patent trolling

No, it's not. Patent trolling has a specific meaning (having vacuous broad patents or using patents against companies who aren't really infringing, associated with not having an actual product and making your money off this, usually having hoarded many patents exactly for this purpose).

This is simply the creator of this design enforcing their patent, like any business with a patented product does.

>Not that they should be able to prevent the production of those inventions like little dictators - that does not advance society.

Nope, it's exactly that they should be able to control the production of their inventions. If it wasn't for that control, patents would have no practical purpose.
it looks more to me that the key feature is the wording "long term" in their announcement.

if you plan long term strategic shifts, most shareholders will bail out earlier when the quarterly publications once doesn't look too good. which hurts the whole plan.

so if you need to invest long term, it's better to get rid of those short term investors, which can bring everything down. private you don't need to publish your results, that's why most German companies prefer to stay private. they think in 6 year plans, not 1/4th year plans
I agree that the news is depressing, I go for two things: First, yes, there’s microplastics everywhere, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t stop putting more out there. As the saying goes, the best time to stop polluting the environment was twenty years ago, the second best time is now.

More directly and less, uh, platitudinally - we’ve found microbes capable of digesting and breaking down things we didn’t think were possible and we’re getting better at engineering/encouraging them to do so - I think there’s a legitimate possibility that we can actually solve this problem within our lifetimes.
Do you mean every dehumidifier made by Gree or every dehumidifier period? I have an LG and haven't seen a picture of it in any of the articles.
You know what nano's good for? Editing a few lines of a config file every now and then.

For that purpose, it's great, works a peach, and is as at least as good as every other option if not better.

And that's what 99% of people use it for, because that's what 99% of people need in a terminal based text editor. Those people don't tend to participate in these sorts of discussions because, well, they're probably still trying to figire out how to exit vim after someone told them vim was better than nano.
LGB are sexual identities inherent to people, with a prevalence of 0.5-10% depending on gender and other things. TQIA+ are (besides a very small minority of <0.1%) socially contagious mental disorders. Why are these two clumped together so often?

Ah yes. Fair enough. I worked on a project that used neo4j once and it was early enough when I joined that I was able to convince them to switch to Postgres before it was too late.

speed and driving times have been recorded mechanically for drivers in Europe since at least the 90ies so going electronic was maybe not as radical a change for European drivers when they went electronic in 2006.

It's also worth noting that a lot of the culture around the labor market is different as the European regulators tend to be a bit more of an aggressive stance on companies creating pressures on employees and then try to shift all blame when those pressure's lead to rule breaking and accidents.
there is deflation in china right now. Why would you buy a house today if the money you have today would buy a bigger house tomorrow?

As a result, nobody can sell. The only way to move any inventory is to dramatically slash the price.

In the US the rentiers have owned the Kings & Queens for a long time. To the point where any American institution cant touch them. This is not the case in China. There will be mass disappearances and cullings (already have been).

> That sounds like it would have terrible performance. Would every read of an int have to manually build it from the 4 bytes it's made of?

No, a method can have a native implementation, or a compiler intrinsic. Java has ByteBuffers (https://download.java.net/java/early_access/panama/docs/api/... ), and they have put/get{Long,Short,etc}, that will map to either a native single pointer read with the given size, or even optimize to a more efficient read inside the context of a bigger method, say vectorize them inside a loop (as the compiler knows about this method and can handle it specifically).

> Besides, this would mean that if you want to run a language like C#, which has references and value types (and you can make a reference to a value type from a pointer into a buffer), you would have to emulate them, which will hamper performance, or just use the same strategy as you used for C

So we are back at where WASM is? Though I think that there is nothing inherently impossible about mapping C# to more efficient Java primitives, especially that value types are the more constrained semantics, each instance being different is semantically the same, just less optimal. A pointer to a region of the aforementioned ByteBuffer with a special memoryToCSharpObject() that has some compiler intrinsics wouldn't perform too bad, I believe.
Future generations have to pay off the debt generated by the current generation. Same as everywhere. You can either grow the population or make the economy more efficient, China still has the latter lever available to pull.

> Nobody should be crucified either in public or in private.

Serious reprimands need to happen in private. We can use euphemisms or severe language, but sometimes people need to be told, "You fouled up, you were careless, you were indiscriminate, and your reckless mistake cost the company more money than you make in a year, which may cost someone ELSE their job because of budget cuts."

Always remember that your foul-ups could cost someone their life or their livelihood. This isn't kindergarten. Adults need to be told honestly about the damage they caused.

Neither the Vietnam war nor Plaza Accords were about "keeping Asians down". Unintentional side effects is not intention. A very important distinction.

Japan's recent Stagflation has plenty of obvious internal causes. Blaming the west for that is some weird cope.

China is an expert at manipulating their currency and internal markets for global advantage. Countries reacting to China's top-down aggressive self interest in a global market is only logical. Other countries engaging in those markets aren't there for charity and nor is China.
China has a poor social security net. The one-child policy has resulted in a couple having to provide or care for 4 parents and 8 grandparents.

That's is in no way sustainable on an individual level and worse on a societal level when you have a small working population and a large number of people that require care.

There are two scale systems at play.

On the other hand you can charge e-devices with solar panels. Slowly, but it's doable.

And generators tend to be more efficient than regular engines, because they will always run at the optimal rpm. Combine that with a 90%+ efficient electric engine and you'll get more distance from a jerry can of gasoline/diesel than you would with an ICE.
This feels like the adage of marginal gains. Any one change by itself is small, but they compound. Used successfully by british cycling, I wonder if this would be similar?

Yes! This just drives me crazy:

} catch (SomeException ex) {
log.Info(ex);
} catch (Exception ex) {
log.Fatal(ex);
throw;
}
if (something != null) {
...
}

Would be actually nice if it had F#'s try...with https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-ref... and would allow us something like:

var something = try {
mayThrow()
} with (SomeException ex) {
log.Info(ex);
} with (Exception ex) {
log.Fatal(ex);
throw;
}

Or some way to do pattern matching on exceptions for switch expression.

var something = mayThrow() switch {
(SomeException ex) => {
log.Info(ex);
return null;
}
(Exception ex) => {
log.Fatal(ex);
throw;
}
var passThru => passThru
}

Yep but isn't the problem that his employor demand that he drives right to the limit of his legal limit on corporate time and leaves no buffer for say getting home.

The limits on time is not meant to be "norms" but extreme cases so if they are hit daily thats an indication the the culture in the industry is rotten more then anything else.
PS: swc and esbuild aren't good example, because most of the speed improvements comes from the fact that they are just stripping TS-specific syntaxes to generate JS code.

Also tsc is slow, sure, but only for the first run. Enabling `incremental` flag or using watch mode with `--transpile-only` usually brings compile time under 100ms, Making it practically indistinguishable from SWC or ESBuild.

> seeing empathy from a language model

I think you misread the message above
Safely sandboxing java is difficult because a lot of the standard library is written in native code with full filesystem access. And java code can dynamically load other java code. So its much easier for a security vulnerability in the standard library or runtime can quickly escalate into a RCE vulnerability. Java applets being secure largely depends on the entire JVM + JRE being secure. Given how massive that is, there have (of course) been many sandbox escapes over the years. Oracle's security vulnerabilities database[1] lists 730 CVEs in the java runtime environment. (They aren't all sandbox escapes but wow thats a lot!)

WASM is far, far easier to reason about from a security perspective because its orders of magnitude simpler. There is no standard library. All wasm code (including any library code you compile in to your software) runs in an entirely encapsulated virtual machine with no ability to interact with anything outside of its little bubble. (Except for any functions the application explicitly passes in to the wasm module.) The wasm module boundary is fixed and simple, and as a result its much easier to secure.

I'm sure someone will eventually find a sandbox escape for wasm code somehow. But I bet there'll be at least an order of magnitude fewer sandbox escapes in wasm than we've had with java because of the differences in the security model.

Chinese, especially in the upper tier cities, don't want babies now. Same as the West and for roughly the same reasons. Historically kids stayed with their parents until marriage who would then look after the grandchildren while they work. Now the parents are getting left behind in the villages or low tier cities while the kids fly out to the higher tier cities to work leaving no childcare structure and everyone grinding away at work with no time to find partners.
