In Norway there’s a few charges at every mall and parking garages, a lot of grocery stores also have charges in the parking lot. Many of the gas station chains have started to adapt by installing charging stations and remaking the store inside to more of a fast food shop/coffee shop with a few tables and places to sit etc.

If you need to charge on the road then most rest-stops and fast food restaurants along the main roads have charging stations installed.
>No one working, everyone consuming

How would this even be possible, in an economy that is roughly 80% services? All there is to "consume" is the output of someone else's labor. If nobody is working, there is nothing to consume.
FYI SvelteKit moved from file-based routing to filesystem-based or directory-based routing[1]. This change was inspired by next.js[2]

Many users grumbled about needing more folders and files. With many files sharing the same name. But I think this was the right choice. See the explanations in the links below.

Apple's refurb store is still selling 12s. They'll have 13 Minis for a while to come, although you have to be quick and grab it when one shows up in stock.
If someone buys an iphone specifically because they believe the privacy marketing from Apple, certainly they are choosing privacy with their actions and they happen to be misinformed.
It's especially bad for the history/commit view. "We had an incident in a large repo with multiple committers, let's narrow it down to a specific commit..."
These matter if you have need to bind to multiple ports, but if you're only running a handful of services that need to bind a socket, then port number allocation isn't a big issue. TCP Buffer autotune having problems also matters at certain scale, but in my experience requires a tipping point. TCP sockets also have configurable buffer sizes while Unix sockets have a fixed buffer size, so TCP socket buffers can get much deeper.

At my last role we benchmarked TCP sockets vs Unix sockets in a variety of scenarios. In our benchmarks, only certain cases benefited from Unix sockets and generally the complexity of using them in containerized environments made them less attractive than TCP unless we needed to talk to a high throughput cache or we were doing things like farming requests out to a FastCGI process manager. Generally speaking, using less chatty protocols than REST (involving a lot less serde overhead and making it easier to allocate ingest structures) made a much bigger difference.

I was actually a huge believer in deferring to Unix sockets where possible, due to blog posts like these and my understanding of the implementation details (I've implemented toy IPC in a toy kernel before), but a coworker challenged me to benchmark my belief. Sure enough on benchmark it turned out that in most cases TCP sockets were fine and simplified a containerized architecture enough that Unix sockets just weren't worth it.
Please provide a citation. In 2022, about 30% of new hires had a term limit. The peak was in 2004, with about 54% at a time when very few positions were available.

https://doku.iab.de/arbeitsmarktdaten/Befristungen_bei_Neuei...

I already cited the share of term limited contracts above.

It’s not surprising that term limited contracts are a significant chunk of the Job offerings, even if they are a small share of the total contracts - a job posting that must be renewed annually will appear every year for the same position, while an unlimited contract only opens up when a replacement must be found or a new position is created. Another cause is that a lot of companies use a limited contract as a trial period and later convert to an unlimited contract at renewal time.

It is absolutely true that some sectors suffer from having a huge chunk of limited contracts (academia for example) and that there’s abuse (auxiliary teachers only being employed during the term and made redundant during vacations), but generalizing this to the entire German job market is neither warranted nor helpful.
Hi. I'm the author of the post here.

I agree lines 12-14 doesn't do a proper encoding, but that's not what I was after.
Would you still say it's still wrong if you consider that my function is not really encoding the string per se, but using rand.Read to generate entropy for what I want to be the final output (random string with the base58 alphabet)?
I don't see why California should not be able to pass such a law? It'd be a really dumb law but the constitution does not try to forbid bad overly onerous laws as long as they aren't specifically targeted at one person.

> Chrome's profiles are actually superior due to ability to have different extensions and history per profile

Interesting attack vector I haven't thought about which could leak information out of a network-locked Firefox Container. It would be under an assumption you have either:

1. A malicious extension installed (you have a much worse problem in this case)

2. A side-effect of an existing extension that leaks information to the outside world. (e.g. translate a part of a page, lookup a word in a dictionary, pre-fetch some images...)

> Firefox's containers are only useful if you want multiple logins

I think there are valid use cases for both Containers and Profiles. You can go down the list to have more and more isolation as needed:

- Grouping tabs to stay organized, no isolation

- Firefox containers, same browser window, shared history & extensions

- Chrome profiles, almost complete isolation within same browser (different processes)

- Separate browser instances

- Separate devices

I'm not sure if you can call it theft of privacy. That's a super abstract thing. Your personal data has "no value" (Outside the monetary punishments that come with HIPPA violations.. which gives PII value in the healthcare space).

Weirdly enough, personal info has no financial value (it's not something that be taxed, nor could it be sued for the loss of).. yet there are entire organizations and businesses that profit off of it.

(This is US centric.. under the GDPR you have rights which effectively give strong value attached to it.. unfortuantely thats only protected via enforcement actions)
Why not bind them to their credit cards then?

All my bills go to credit cards and I even get 2% cash back on them all that way too.

I guess you will run into your credit limit that way eventually too if you are behind on payments for it.
Yes, but realistically, what's going to happen the moment they post a policy like that? The media jumps on them, (more) advertisers pull out, etc. That wouldn't have happened if they weren't compelled to publish these content decisions upfront.
Note this only applies to federal trials, not state trials (where the vast majority of crimes are prosecuted).

They haven't been convicted of anything, they're being detained anyway. This is not the same as pre-trial detention, if Google Translate is a remotely accurate rendering of the linked article:

"Legally, this police approach is called preventive detention because it is not detention for a crime that has been committed. The police laws of the different states allow this for different lengths of time. In Bavaria, up to one month in prison is permitted, which may be extended by a judge for a maximum of another month.

The so-called preventive or preventive detention is very controversial. The relevant laws were originally created to prevent terrorists from carrying out attacks. However, this form of detention is now also permitted in the case of the “imminent commission or continuation of an administrative offense of considerable importance for the general public,” as the Bavarian police law states. Lawsuits against this have so far been rejected in Bavaria. However, a final clarification about the legality of this approach is still pending."

Terms may be (very likely) defined earlier in legal docs, like a variable of sorts. So in the quote Google could mean a complex description of the entity.
Firefox has profiles too. Containers are for use within a profile. You keep saying that containers aren't useful but you don't elucidate on how they are useless for privacy or what integration issues exist. I don't know how to interpret 'general awkwardness.' Can you fill in some details?

Just use the first N characters of the UUID if you want a shorter version of the UUID.

Hey, yep I'm in the US. Thanks! Yeah I feel like more explanation is probably better.
Yeah agreed. This conversation itself is in cyberspace. But it's just degrees of abstraction. I prefer being more mentally tethered to "the territory" rather than "the map". The territory is what it is (the laws of physics being unchanging). The map is constantly changing based on things that only matter to those who prefer the hyperreal. I supposed I have my "private map" of the world which rules my behavior -- I tend to refer to that rather than let an outside map (The Internet) guide my actions.

I work in hyperreality, I make my living in hyperreality. I remind myself that I do this in order to live better in the real world around me. My house, the land around me, the people I know in person, are far more important to me (and worth worrying about) than the symbols I endlessly encounter during my workday.

Articles like this are just nonsense as they have no practical use to me (and I suspect most living along side me) in the territory that I inhabit/value.
Your argument is that logging modules do not do proper type-checking on their format parameters, therefore you should pre-format all messages since pre-formatting forces the compiler/runtime to do the type-checks. Why not just solve the problem directly by just get a better logging module that does the checks? We already established the compiler/runtime can do the checks, it is just a question of getting the checks to run.

Also, frankly, a proper logging system implemented in C should be able to support tens of millions of logging statements per second per core. There is little reason to be stingy on logging even in optimized C let alone a language as slow as Python. A system where manually inserted logging statements constitute a material overhead almost certainly means your logging system should be improved.
The law is nothing if not arbitrary.
Basically, you want UUID's 122 bits (128 minus 6 wasted on variant + version) if you can't afford collisions. If you have some DB enforcing unique IDs at creation time, you can manage with a lot fewer bits if you want shorter URLs or something.

I've been using Gnucash since 2016. I import bank statements into it and produce financial statements. I've also tried Firefly and Hledger.

I think that Gnucash offers the right mix of UI and reporting for me. I think Hledger looks quite good, but would reuqire a bit more effort to learn on my part and, tbh, not sure I have the energy.

I want to like Firefly, but I'm an accountant, and it it not true double entry. So I find it emotionally difficult to use - it's simply not correct. I think that it has it's use-case, like if you only care about cash out of a bank account, but it doesnt work so well for loans or investments.

With VB.NET, VB basically turned into C# with different syntax. I think a lot of people in that space might as well have been writing C#, so a lot of them switched. Then separately, perhaps almost simultaneously, the Microsoft ecosystem lost relevance.

It was in a bad state, but in a very inane way: a flight plan in its processing queue was faulty. The system itself was mostly fine. It was just not well-written enough to distinguish an input error from an internal error, and thus didn't just skip the faulty flight plan.

German here. In the article it says the law is there to prevent terrorism. But 9/11 isn't such a big deal here in Germany (except maybe for traveling). The problem is that those people can be detained for "bevorstehenden Begehung oder Fortsetzung einer Ordnungswidrigkeit von erheblicher Bedeutung für die Allgemeinheit" - "imminent commission or continuation of a misdemeanor of substantial public concern."
So they are arrested to prevent misdemeanors which only come with a fine or a super short jail time.

IMO the real reason for this is to protect the automotive industry which is a large part of the German economy
Yes, Lidl and Ikea tracks have rough surfaces. Brio tracks feel more polished. Or maybe they are just made from high-quality wood.
Alternatively, palpably growing discontent with material conditions and depleting trust in America's ideological production considers the above account risible Whig history.

The competing account is exactly opposite: the hitherto antiquated idea of a benevolent liberal "end of history" is torn to shreds, as research made widely available even in English variously showcases that the CIA was involved in various genocides (such as Indonesia's) in order to preserve its geopolitical and economic supremacy, to say nothing of exposes about how the FBI tried to goad MLK Jr. into suicide, and other stuff of that sort.

Books such as Vincent Bevins's "The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World" (2020) and Vijay Prashad's "Washington Bullets" (2020) are part of this budding understanding, whose foothold is firm both academically and in terms of popularity.

But I think in the end it's always better to hear it from the perpetrators themselves, such as in the words of the so-called "Wise Man" of American Foreign Policy George Kennan, who reported, from the U.S.'s own declassified archives:

>We have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction.

As pertains to Chile in particular, far from a hands-off relationship that approved of Pinochet and sent a few economists, the CIA was deeply involved in _causing_ the economic crisis that the Chilean right attributed to Allende, as reported by the New York Times in 1974:

C.I.A. Is Linked to Strikes In Chile That Beset Allende

>The Central Intelligence Agency secretly financed striking labor unions and trade groups in Chile for more than 18 months before President Salvador Allende Gossens was overthrown, intelligence sources revealed today.
They said that the majority of more than $8‐million authorized for clandestine C.I.A. activities in Chile was used in 1972 and 1973 to provide strike benefits and other means of support for anti‐Allende strikers and workers.

https://www.nytimes.com/1974/09/20/archives/cia-is-linked-to...

As for the idea that Chileans are broadly grateful for this historical path imposed upon them thus far: we'll see.
You're probably speaking to VB plus Visual Studio RAD (Rapid Application Development aka "drag and drop" GUI programming) and you more or less still have that today with VB.NET and Windows Forms, with minor differences.

What killed the older VB6 and it's APIs, whose name I can't recall even though I developed for it in the 1990s, was .net coming along.

Be warned, it might just be easier to learn C# as it's more well-supported/documented, and VB.net seems like effectively a language dialect of C#.
I don't understand the question. A hardware core, thread, context, or whatever term you prefer can only run one software thread at a given time. The operating system can interrupt the processor and switch to a different piece of software, but this only gives the illusion of two threads running concurrently when looked at over long time scales.

If you have three software threads A, B, C and two CPUs X and Y, and thread A runs on CPU X from T0 to T2, thread B runs on Y from T0 to T1, and C runs on Y from T1 to T2, then thread A made more progress than the others, all else equal.
There is at least one Hitler headline in the newspaper every single day. And I am not even joking.
New version of VB was VB.net.

People still used VB.net primarily as they were familiar with VB.

But the new projects gradually took over C#.net, as it sounded more cool.

VB.net died after a while.
Indeed. That's why I mentioned it's a 128-bit identifier format in the first line of the article, rather than 128-bit identifier. I probably spent 10min writing something to explain this, but then it wouldn't really be helpful so I removed it.
There's a good chance Brexit would not have happened if the vote was done today, simply because of old people dying off (most over 65 voted for, most under 35 voted against).

It does look like a lot of climate legislation is facing similar situations, where the boomer generation is voting opposite to younger generations.

In both cases it's frustrating because the younger generations are the ones that will have to deal with the consequences of laws they did not agree with.
Also might be worth mentioning that the Bavarian state police law that these arrests are based on is actively challenged in court and there arrests could become part of that case.

At the risk of eating my words later: AMD will never be competitive with Nvidia. They don't have the money, the talent, or the strategy. They haven't had a competitive architecture at the top end (i.e. enterprise level) since the ATI days. The only way they could take over AI at this point is if Jensen leaves and the new CEO does an Intel and fails for fifteen years straight.

Also just remembered that F# exists, which is probably exactly all of that and runs on the CLR like C#.

> Most (if not all) other images it used will be cc, unlicensed (most images on the internet) or copyrighted but unidentifiable

You keep saying "most". I get that you believe copyright infringement is orthogonal to your point, but it's really not.

If you can argue your point by saying "all, 100%" free and clear - public domain or otherwise permitted by the owners - then I can consider your point.

Otherwise, no, the model does not produce copyleft or public domain work. It's copyright infringement and IP theft.

"Unlicensed" does not mean it is not under copyright, by the way. CC usually means there are restrictions or requirements for use. Attribution, for instance.

But if the model were trained only on public domain work, I'm still not completely convinced. Perhaps. I do find Jason M. Allen's argument more compelling than Tamara Pester's

Wild that one can be fired for taking a legal substance with no known impairing qualities. I also find it ironic that one can be fired for failing drug tests for using cannabis in 'legal' states despite that a positive test only shows that you used the substance sometime in the past few days or even up to a month.

If it ever gets legalized nationally, this will have to be dealt with. I cannot imagine an employer firing someone for using alcohol or tobacco for example
