Ah, yet another reminder to never ever read articles when the headline contains a question mark.
> Is there a practical distinction?

I’m not sure if this will help, but I think of it like - parallelism is running the same task in multiple threads / on multiple cores at once. And concurrency is “concurrently” running different tasks on one core.

Nodejs is a purely single threaded runtime. Let’s say you have a web server in node processing http requests.

- Your program implements concurrency by yielding back to the event loop instead of blocking. Request 1 comes in, and then sends a query to the database. While we wait for the database to respond to the query, we can process request 2.

- You usually implement parallelism with nodejs by running multiple instances of your nodejs server process across all your cores. (Then use a program like nginx to load balance requests across all the node processes.)

The GPU might be a better example. When rendering a frame, the graphics card runs a small program (called a fragment shader) for every pixel on the screen. A 4090 has ~16000 cores which can all run the same fragment shader on different pixels at the same time. This is called parallelism, not concurrency. Concurrency would be if you had two video games open at once and your graphics card was quickly swapping between rendering frames for game A and game B.

> As always with these kinds of headlines the answer is no.

The article is making the case that the answer is Yes. It goes over the reasons why the current way of Beekeeping (predominately for harvesting their honey) could be bad for bees and explains methods that the 'natural beekeepers' are using to make their pollination role more sustainable.

From the article:

> Most beekeepers’ colonies are much larger than those which occur in the wild, and rival colonies might be separated by only a few yards, rather than by half a mile. Much of the bees’ honey, which is supposed to get them through the winter, is taken before they have a chance to eat it. A queen bee goes on a spree of mating flights early in her life, and then lays the fertilized eggs until her death. In apiaries, queens often have their wings clipped, to interrupt swarming (a colony’s natural form of reproduction), and are routinely inspected, and replaced by newcomers, sometimes imported from the other side of the world. Propolis—a wonderful, sticky substance that bees make from tree resin and that has antibacterial qualities—is typically scraped out of hives by beekeepers because it is annoying and hard to get off their hands.

> Natural beekeepers leave their bees alone. They seldom treat for disease—allowing the weaker colonies to fail—and they raise the survivors in conditions that are as close as possible to tree cavities. They fill their hives with swarms that come in on the wing, rather than those which come from dealers who trade on the Internet.
Also hives can (and do) abscond and go feral from the beekeepers hives any time they wish. They stay because the conditions are good.
I read Quanta mag because of the narrative, and loved this article.

What a nice 65th birthday present to finally close off the last dangling piece of your almost-complete research agenda!
> There would also be more wars. One of the big changes in the 20th century is that now every country is interdependent on every other, so going to war is even more costly for both sides, being cut off from half the world's supply chains.

This is often repeated, and I believed it myself in the past as being self-evident, but the Russia/Ukraine war has changed my mind. Russia was selling gas, the west was buying gas. Other countries produced e.g. iPhones and Russians were buying them. It seemed to be a classic case of a situation where everyone loses if there's war, but yet the war happened anyway.
Interesting, I only ever see wild solitary bees in my (UK) garden.
I'm not a graybeard, I'm 28 and I've been using Emacs since I was 15. In that time, in my circle, I've seen notepad++, sublime, atom etc. all come and go. Of course everyone at work uses VS Code, in 2 years it will be New Editor by XYZ Corp.

Being old doesn't imply something is bad. Should we be asking what Emacs and Vim have done right so that they're still being used 50 years later?

There's a lot of weird assumptions in the article. "Normal" beekeepers try to breed varroa resistant bees as well, but still trying to keep the non-resistant ones alive too. It might be faster to just let nature deal with the issue, but that means losing an insane amount of hives. It's basically the same as claiming that hunters don't care about animals or the forrest, or that dairy farms don't care about their cows. All beekeepers want the same thing, health bees, being able to go out and just watch them, it's not like we have some weird need to open a hive every week and inspect 30 frames for bad signs... That's the boring part.

Most of the bees being kept by beekeepers aren't natural as such. One of the most common types is Buckfast and that's a cross between a number of different species. So is the suggestion that we kill 75% of the bees in apiaries to "keep it natural"?

Normally you also only buy one or two colonies, the rest of you apiary will be made from those original colonies and you only buy new ones in case of disease or if you want to build a larger apiary faster. So I don't get the negativity towards "buying bees online". While I do think swarm catching is great, I'd recommend getting the swarm checked for disease before placing it in any apiary.

Indeed. But, anecdotally, the absolute worst ride quality I've had on a powered two-wheeler was with that kind of scooter. All the legitimately "high-powered motorcycles" (>1000 CC and > 100 HP) I've ridden have been very smooth. Not Citroën Hydractive smooth, but still, night and day compared to the vibrating mess of small city scooters.
It may have to do with the flowers you have in your yard. I have a beehive and a large number and diversity of native pollinators, but I plant to attract and support them.
We are not talking about third parties. Microservices are always first party, all that you own or some other team within your organisation owns even if they get deployed onto different clouds or something.

Easier would be to admit that the microservices idea was the biggest fad in the history of computing and milked by consultancies to no end while compounding the complexity of software development to unprecedented levels, needlessly.

A big factor is the number of cylinders and their arrangement, which affect the so called primary and secondary engine balance. A smaller single cylinder produces much more vibration than a way larger inline four with a 1-3-4-2 firing order.

I would assume though that phone cameras are damaged by higher frequency vibrations, a big component of which is speed and type of tyres/road condition

> In contrast, most European mappae mundi from the era placed east at the top, since east was the direction of the biblical Garden of Eden.

I am skeptical of this explanation. A simpler explanation is that most early maps were east-oriented because the sun rises in the east. South (and later, north) oriented maps only become important when ships begin to use magnetic compasses.
Er, what? SB handles updates fine. The base/host OS is separate from what goes on in the containers anyways.
Initial response in Sweden was disaster for elder people. But they learned fast and in the end they did much better, seems. It's unclear however whether other countries could behave in same way. For example vaccination share in Sweden is relatively high (72%) and rather flexible health system. Could for example Bulgaria (vaccination share 30%) with their even normally overwhelmed health system behave the same way?
The Unix kernel API only returns a numeric error code, no additional information. Nine times out of ten¹ the file that wasn't found is the file that you just tried to open or rename or whatever, so a language runtime can make a copy of that and attach it to their error representation, but (a) that's more work so it gets shunted out of the MVP, and (b) it requires allocating memory to store the copy, and some languages (like Rust) do not want silent memory allocation as a default behaviour.

¹: The one time out of ten is things like a script with a #! line that refers to a file that doesn't exist. The file you asked for (the script) definitely exists, but you'll get a file-not-found error if you ask the kernel to run it. Modern versions of bash seem to detect this situation and display a more helpful error message, but this is specific to bash, not other shells or languages.

Perhaps I’m bad at it because I wasn’t doing it at all?

You asked how someone can trust a crypto implementation that isn’t open source. I replied to the to it directly: it actually is open source. Personally I see the source being available largely irrelevant but I replied to exactly what you asked for.

Your second question is an entirely different topic, which is how you can trust that something isn’t backdoored. Notably, this has nothing to do with whether source is available. How I would typically do that is by inspecting the compiled artifacts themselves, which is the same whether the code is available or not. Of course, this requires that the OS or the AP or the crypto engine isn’t backdoored, for which there exist more involved verification processes. Whether this is possible to do in general is a difficult research area. It is, however, completely divorced from your view on how this works because auditing the properties you’re looking for does not rely on source code at least in a traditional sense.

The real headline could be more accurately put as "Is modern amateur/hobbiest beekeeping making bee's genetically weaker?"

"None of us knew at the time how strong the selection would be in the wild,” Seeley told me recently. “It turned out that the bees had the variation needed to develop the traits to resist the mites.” While beekeepers were experimenting with chemical treatments and hive designs, the bees in the forest were changing genetically. Their life styles helped them, too. “Colonies living in the wild have many things going for them,” Seeley said. The bees lived in smaller groups, relatively far apart, which made it harder for varroa to spread. They swarmed every year, which broke the reproductive cycle of the mites. (If a colony swarms, the nest is left without bee larvae, which is where varroa mites take hold.)"

Heres a small snippet that briefly explains some of the things some Beekeepers think amateur beekeepers do incorrectly.

While Emacs is opinionated in its own way, it is extremely configurable, programmable, modifiable, customizable to ones needs. I guess it will take a long long time, until vscode is as modifiable as Emacs, if ever. And maybe that is not vscode's goal anyway.
At least part of the source code seems to be here: <https://github.com/bitwarden/server/tree/master/src/Core/Sec...>.

I hope Bitwarden don’t follow the recent “open source but only if you pay and we unilaterally terminate the contract with you if you exercise the terms of the open source license” approach RedHat is doing lately.

The parent has a point, though I never thought about it that way. In a way a similar case would be if you had a squad of squirrels that gather seeds and nuts from your neighbour's gardens, and you would then take and sell the bounty that they bring back.

While RTL is a possible choice, DTL circuits (diode-transistor logic) are both easier to design and more efficient from the POV of power consumption. DTL circuits can also be faster, especially when implemented with Schottky diodes, which should be the normal choice for them.

DTL circuits are composed of transistors used as inverters and of diode circuits that are either minimum circuits a.k.a. AND or maximum circuits a.k.a. OR.

When considered as min/max circuits instead of and/or, they can work even with a multi-level logic, not only with binary logic.
That cashier analogy seems quite bad. You're looking for an example of cooperative multitasking and you're taking customers waiting in a line, the least cooperative group of people in the world? Also, I have never seen a store setup where a cashier is shared between two lines and is handling the other line while they are waiting for your payment to go through.

I feel like car sharing services are a better analogy. If you're not using the car, someone else can.
A different article I read this week says urban bees exceed the feeding capacity in the city in some places and we need to be more circumspect about who, and how many bees.

More diverse pollination insects would probably be net beneficial in bee pollinated foods.

So...

The thing to remember is that nations and nationalism are the centrepiece concept of politics today, but this is new.

Medieval politics was all about kings, lords and lordships. Not nations. National sentiments may have played roles, but secondary. Like the role race, class, ideology or whatnot today. Important, but nowhere near as central as nations.

The King of England wasn't very English much of the time.

The competing claims on england & france originate with Normans. They were if scandi origin, became powerful in France. They conquered England, Jerusalem, Cyprus, parts of Italy, etc. England became the house's important, long term procession... but they weren't English. They spoke french and claimed Viking ancestry.

Circa 1800 was a transitional period. Republican nationalism was exploding. Being a German house (Hanover) ruling England was becoming an issue. Royals started to adopt (previously derided) English folkishness. They raised their children in English, started speaking in a native accent, eating English foods and publicly participating in English activities.

You can still see this today, with British royals engaged in symbolic national "customs" like Scottish tartanry, Welsh language or whatever.

England wasn't claiming lordship over France. The king of England was. Up to 1800-ish, the king himself wasn't English. Not culturally and not by self-definition.

Well then, I'm sorry for my limited knowledge of artisinal beekeepers. That does make sense for bigger ones.
Not quite. Much of the industry for growing fruit depends on beekeepers renting out their bees as pollinators. As for cattle, well, yeah, they wholly depend on us. If you are in doubt just look at the relative sizes of populations of cattle vs mammalian wildlife.
As far as I recall it was pretty common to call :-) etc emoticons back in the day. Like 1990s/early 2000s.
If the bees are in a man made hive they need you to remove honey so that they have room to lay. If you don't they will leave and not all of that honey is going with them.

I was going to do RAID for disk failure tolerance, either with a consumer NAS box, or a disk enclosure that does hardware RAID, and something very low power like a Zero 2 W.

Isn't RAID parity slightly more space efficient than versioned backups? Or is there a better way to do redundancy that doesn't involve just replicating entire files to multiple disks? Or some kind of automated manager that puts each individual file on N different disks out of M?

I mostly do embedded so reliable data storage isn't generally something I deal with, we usually leave that to the cloud or to the user, and I'm not quite familiar with what's out there.
I like to use extremes and the intermediate value theorem, ie if you have two extreme points, and some continuous curve connecting them, it passes through all the points in the middle. It's a good shortcut for "is it possible to balance X and Y" questions. Like is there a hexagon with 'equal' area and perimeter? It's easy to conceptualize ones on each side of the ratio, and you can smoothly deform between them so the ratio is continuous, hence there is such a hexagon.
