Technical. A lot of NZ is mountainous country with volcanic soil on top of impermeable clays, which means there's very little groundwater. Some of the alluvial areas have plentiful groundwater and they use wells, but the majority of rural areas just use rainwater. It's cheap and easy to collect.

That's just two bipartite agreements end-to-end. I could technically have said an n-ary agreement, with the freedom to select multiple paths, for more accuracy; I figured "bipartite" encompassed all the relevant nuance.

> FWIW you can apply your argument to an ISP to make the argument that it's right for them to arbitrarily censor as well.

Yes and. ISPs generally do have that liberty and do employ it when they deem it necessary (see Hurricane Electric cutting ties with IncogNET for doing business with KiwiFarms, various ISPs cutting user accounts for piracy, AUP, or TOS violations, etc.). The backstop against that behavior is generally that they're leaving money on the table if they don't provide as many people as much service as their system capacity permits. But in general, legally or morally, nobody is entitled to more access than showing up at the public library to use a community kiosk (and if you do that and look at porn, they can ban you too).
How are you liking Axum? I also use it, after switching from Actix Web.
In general this would be a good thing, but not the way Safari does it. Why? Well, because eventually, almost everything Safari doesn't implement does get implemented in Safari, and because some of their longer running omissions smell suspiciously like conflicts of interest that hurt the ecosystem. A lot of people are incorrectly under the impression that Safari finally supports WebM and Opus, but it only does so on macOS (and every time I point this out, someone under that impression claims it has changed recently, and it never has; it's like Apple wants you to think it's supported.) Not to mention their "great" influence on the WebGPU standard and any other number of weird omissions and quirks in Safari.

It's annoying that I need Apple hardware to make sure my web applications work in Safari when I basically never need to specifically test Chrome or Firefox.
What I don’t understand in situations like this when thousands of flights are cancelled is how do they catch up? It always seems like flights are at max capacity at all times, at least when I fly. If they cancel 1,000 flights in one day, how do they absorb that extra volume and get everyone where they need to be? Surely a lot of people have their plans permanently cancelled?
I’m not sure I understand. This isn’t something I haven’t thought about in a while, but it’s pretty intuitive to me that a loopback TCP connection would pretty much always be slower: each transmission unit goes through the entire TCP stack, feeds into the TCP state machine, etc. Thats more time spent in the kernel.

Hard to say. Would the research even have occurred if there weren't military applications? At the end of the day, there are only a few ways to get politicians to fund research:

Auto-instrumenting every function call is the more common use case demanding those data rates. I mostly work in C, so the costs of doing that are in the 10-40% overhead range. In Python the overhead is in the single digit percent range. You deal with it by having good graphical log viewing tools.

Really, your problem is actually getting the logs off the system. When you generate logs at 15 GB/s per core the only device fast enough is RAM. If you want any logs larger than a circular RAM disk you need to deliberately slow down your logging rate so your ethernet can keep up.

> the complexity of using [UNIX sockets] in containerized environments made them less attractive than TCP

Huh, I would think UNIX sockets would be easier; since sharing the socket between the host and a container (or between containers) is as simple as mounting a volume in the container and setting permissions on the socket appropriately.

Using TCP means dealing with iptables and seems... less fun. I easily run into cases where the host's iptables firewall interferes with what Docker wants to do with iptables such that it takes hours just to get simple things working properly.

What do you consider to be an “average length” prompt? How about a “long” prompt? You mention those in the text, and I’m curious of the token-length thresholds you’re seeing before performance degrades, and if that varies more when higher-importance tokens are distributed across the length versus clustered at the beginning.

If Google have added, as is rumoured, a desktop mode like Samsung DEX to the upcoming Pixel 8, I will be purchasing one immediately, if not it will be a Samsung Galaxy S22. I'll probably still get an iPhone but if I end up taking to Android then the iPhone may well end up getting ditched in a few years. I'm also going to be selling my Macbook Pro soon and relying solely on the Android phone in combination with some AR glasses and a QuadLock swappable battery pack for extra juice. I'm moving over to Codespaces for all dev work, GeForce Now for gaming, and if I ever want to do anything like video editing or AI work in the future I'll just spin up a suitable cloud instance for it. I realise I'm currently in the minority with this hardware setup, but I think more and more people are going to start doing the same, particularly as 5G internet, satellite and high speed fibre continues to roll out in more places and companies perfect their cloud apps.

It seems like Apple is sleeping on this and I genuinely think it might end up contributing heavily to their downfall. They've bet it all on hardware and services and if hardware sales decline, which is looking likely through China's recent moves, I don't think the current services offering is going to cover the shortfall.

Microsoft is looking very strong atm and has made some very savvy investments. They've already got the gaming market, which is now a bigger industry than music and film combined. Between VSCode and Github they're starting to corner the dev market. I've been exploring Azure the past week and I'm quite impressed with it, seems much easier to learn than AWS. They've had the business market cornered for years. And to top it all off they've got a huge stake in the biggest AI company. I really think we might see Microsoft becoming dominant again within the next ten years.

Also, in the last decade or so, it turns out like 20% of CFS folk actually have PoTS aka Postural orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.

I finally got a PoTS diagnosis last year (along with ASD and ADHD), at 39.

Lying down for 5 minutes then standing up for 10 - if the pulse gets and remains high but with a low blood pressure, that's the main diagnostic criteria.

Symptoms include head rushes, gray outs, brain fog, fainting in like 8%, fatigue, temprature intolerance to hot and cold, cold exteremities, bladder issues e.g. needing to pee more than average ("PoTS bladder"), palpitations as in feeling your pulse (not aythmia) and maybe even rocking/stimming to it (I got great muscle control from trying to cover it up for so long, great for dancing).

Things that help are certain postures, staying hydrated, increasing salt intake by x8 to help the body retain water, leggings or compression socks.

Apparently there are other drugs, but you will be explaining it to most medical folk you meet. I'm waiting for a cardio referral in the UK, though ultimatly it's an autonomic system issue so I would have thought neurology, but we will live and learn.

Possibly maybe I had EDS; zebras keep saying I have such smooth skin and move in a hypermobile way, though I don't pass the standard over-stretch tests, but praying upward behind my back is no problem what-so-ever.

Yes. It would cascade into:

Changes in how ATCs operate

Changes in how pilots operate

Changes in how airplanes receive these instructions (including the flight software itself, safety systems, etc.)

Changes in how airplanes are tested

Changes in how pilots are trained

Etc. In this case, the refactoring requires changes to hardware, software, training, manufacturing, and humans.
Neither formal methods nor fuzzing would've helped if the programmer didn't know that input can repeat. Maybe they just didn't read the paragraph in whatever document describes how this should work and didn't know about it.

I didn't have to implement flight control software, but I had to write some stuff described by MIFID. It's a job from hell, if you take it seriously. It's a series of normative documents that explains how banks have to interact with each other which were published quicker than they could've been implemented (and therefore the date they had to take effect was rescheduled several times).

These documents aren't structured to answer every question a programmer might have. Sometimes the "interesting" information is close together. Sometimes you need to guess the keyword you need to search for to discover all the "interesting" parts... and it could be thousands of pages long.
which is funny since SIFT is basically just as ancient.

They're proposing to do away with access journalism, or at least access biographies.

An interviewing journalist can, and should, ask the question and report the answer (or lack thereof).
I don't think this works because the local exchange rate will plummet unless there's a flow in the other direction, and if there is an opposite flow (eg. through market arbitragers) then the original benefit becomes questionable.

I think the true benefit would only present itself if BTC circulated without being traded for USD and back constantly. This would require businesses to pay workers and suppliers in BTC, as well as accept BTC for their goods and services. That doesn't seem to be happening anywhere in significant enough volume as far as I know.

IIRC, bitcoin transactions are structured to always send the entire wallet balance every time, and the way to avoid doing that is to send almost all of the money back to the current wallet address in a self loop. Then, any money that isn't listed with a destination becomes the miner fee.

So they may have just forgotten to add the field that sends the money in a self-loop, and by default the account was drained by the miner fee.

This is obviously a terrible design but it can't be changed.
The problem is when you work out the math on rocket that can sustain 1G for multiple days with any Earthly isp you realize the math just doesn't work. Even if you go nuts and plug in a number like 1 million seconds (our best chemical rockets are more like 450 seconds) for the isp it is still nowhere close to feasible using only the mass of our solar system.

As long as you are stuck flinging mass out of the back of your rocket to accelerate you don't get to go anywhere outside of our solar system.

I learned Visual Basic (6) a few months before I learned C#.

Hands-down, C# was a much better language. Visual Basic (the language) always left me feeling dirty compared to C#. Both languages have similar learning curves for a novice; but C# includes industrial strength features that allow code written by a novice to be refactored instead of rewritten when the need comes along.

Both languages have a similar way for designing a Windows Forms UI, and the API for working with the UI from code was generally similar. Once C# came around, there really wasn't a reason for using Visual Basic 6 for a quick-and-dirty UI because you could do the same thing in C# in the same amount of time. (So why waste your time with Visual Basic at that point?)

I personally think the "VB.Net" situation is what really killed Visual Basic. There really was no reason to force everyone to rewrite their projects, because VB.Net didn't "add" anything. Instead, VB.Net turned into a smell that someone wasn't savvy enough to use "real" C#.

I personally don't know when I'd pick Visual Basic 6 over C# for a Windows application; but I have a pretty serious development background. I also noticed that novice developers tended to come up to speed with C# rather quickly, so I'm not sure if the more casual nature of Visual Basic 6 really helped anyone.
Flight Plan Database
I don't know but in recent years I'm increasingly seeing mission critical systems having only token or "apparent" rendundancies instead of real ones, and couldn't find any other rationale than cost savings and shareholder bottom lines. I'm not saying that capitalism = bad, it's mostly better than the alternatives, but just like its most direct competitor, it suffers from bad implementations across the world and unbounded human greed.

A recent and very "in the face" example, also from the air travel industry would be the B737 Max and its AoA sensors. There were two, for two flight computers, but MCAS only used 1 flight computer and 1 AoA sensor, despite the already existing crosslinks between the flight computers and the sensors...

Pofit maxing first with the "no need for a new type rating for the pilots", then cost-cutting first in aeronautical engineering (solving an airframe design problem with software, plus designing a flight envelope protection system that can overpower the human pilots).

Then cost-cutting in software engineering and QC, rushing out software made by (probably) inexperienced in the field engineers and failing to properly test it and ensure that it had the needed redundancy.
I'm with you in that there's no compelling reason to upgrade my iPad Pro because it just works. Having said that, I'm mulling over a mini, studio or macbook pro for a development system, but not the air. Why not the air? For reasons unclear to me Apple only includes Wifi 6e support on the Pro devices and not the latest Air. That's also currently true on the ipad line: only the pro devices speak 6e as well. Does it really matter on the ipad? Perhaps not, but in my area wifi pollution is so rampant, the devices I most rely upon (cell phone, windows laptop) speak 6e because it's the only way to get decent transfer rates.

In fact I nearly purchased a macbook but decided to roll the device on an upgrade instead first because it was so cheap to do so. This would never happen with an apple device - my six year old windows laptop's upgrade to 6/6e was a $25 part purchased on Amazon and replaced on the motherboard in a matter of minutes. That's the other reason I'm not really dying to buy an apple device, no matter how portable or how great battery life is: it's a wasting asset that is designed to be unrepairable, much less upgradeable. And although it can be handy to do development locally, mosh/ssh and guacamole make it so there's no compelling reason to upgrade my six year old laptop either.
The biggest benefit I've noticed with plaster walls is the soundproofing. There's more layers of much denser material.

My walls are 1 inch of plaster with metal lath (vs the typical 1/2 thickness for drywall), on top of traditional wood slat lath, then insulation and studs. Typically if you have construction old enough for lath and plaster walls, they might also have independent studs per side, further isolating sound transfer.

It's also less porous and doesn't hold water like drywall, making it quite mold resistant.

> LOG005 use exception() within an exception handler

In Python, exception handling is part of the normal control flow. Therefore, when an exception happens, it is not always the case that you want to log a full stack trace.

try:
thing = things[0]
except IndexError:
log.error("Not enough things!")
return

I think that even recommending a log.exception() here would actually be a bad thing.
