You've got the analogy right in that the internet is like a public park. Where your analogy goes wrong is in the fact that these service providers have set up a bakery in the park, and are trying to charge anyone who merely smells the bread, and then accuse people of stealing when they refuse to pay for the act of inhaling while walking through the public park.

The internet is a public resource. Your website is a guest on my computer. I will do with your website what I will. The one and only choice you have is to not serve it to me. Once you have served it to me, you don't get to dictate how I use it.

The EU isn't some sort of perfect organisation and is _badly_ in need of reform.

To quote Veroufakis:

> As he spoke, Schäuble directed a piercing look at Sapin. ‘Elections cannot be allowed to change economic policy,’ he began. ... Of course he had a point: democracy had indeed died the moment the Eurogroup acquired the authority to dictate economic policy to member states without anything resembling federal democratic sovereignty.

Metapatterns: The Pattern Underground Wiki
»Metapatterns are overarching or fundamental patterns of patterns. Typically, we may think of something like a chess board is made up of a checkered pattern. Certainly this checkered design is a pattern, but not necessarily a "meta"-pattern. Metapatterns appear in two or more other contexts or disciplines of study and have similar functions. Such a sharing of functionality across contexts is a characteristic of metapatterns, even though specific context-related functions may vary. For instance, a cycle is a process that maintains some system. This general definition applies across contexts. However, the Kreb's Citric Acid Cycle (which produces energy as ATP molecules fits within this general function, but also has context-specific functions of using oxygen and nutrients to produce ATP from ADP molecules, and producing CO2 & H2O.«

Shawn Fain (UAW President) has outright rejected a 20% offer. Not to say they won't agree to 30% but for context - UAW workers gave up a LOT of pay and rights in the 2010 auto bailout - the workers essentially helped to bail out management in that case along with the USG.

40% is table stakes.
Most businesses are increasingly using one of a handful of different POS systems (square, toasttab and clover).

I imagine the tipping options are set up by default on those systems and it requires a (probably already very busy, maybe non tech savvy) manager to manually go in and find the options to change or disable.

The workers are probably NOT happy about the extra tips going away.

Nobody really wins no matter what here. I guess I blame the new crop of POS POS vendors? IDK

There was also a German ex-journalist (dr. Udo Ulfkotte) who wrote a book about how journalists (in Germany and EU I suppose) are “bought” by intelligence agencies like the CIA:

It's not the same thing.

The TLDR is that it needs “function coloring” which isn't necessarily bad, types themselves are “colors”, the problem being what you're trying to accomplish. In an FP language, it's good to have functions that are marked with an IO context because there the issue is the management of side effects. OTOH, the differences between blocking and non-blocking functions is: (1) irrelevant if you're going to `await` on those non-blocking functions or (2) error-prone if you use those non-blocking functions without `await`. Kotlin's syntax for coroutines, for example, doesn't require `await`, as all calls are (semantically) blocking by default. We should need extra effort to execute things asynchronously.

One issue with “function coloring” is that when a function changes its color, all downstream consumers have to change color too. This is actually useful when you're tracking side effects, but rather a burden when you're just tracking non-blocking code. To make matters worse, for side-effectful (void) functions, the compiler won't even warn you that the calls are now “fire and forget” instead of blocking, so refactorings are error-prone.

In other words, .NET does function coloring for the wrong reasons and the `await` syntax is bad.

Furthermore, .NET doesn't have a usable interruption model. Java's interruption model is error-prone, but it's more usable than that. This means that the “structured concurrency” paradigm can be implemented in Java, much like how it was implemented in Kotlin (currently in preview).

PS: the .NET devs actually did an experiment with virtual threads. Here are their conclusions (TLDR virtual threads are nice, but they won't add virtual threads due to async/await being too established):

Thank you, this is one of the most understood 'facts', especially regarding "prompt hacking/jailbreaking"
Having now understood how this all works from the Khan Academy explanation, the real magic of all of this are these two things:

1) math that’s hard to do backwards

2) the transitive property of mathematics.

Given #1 is basically arbitrary, I think it can be hand-waved in service of explaining the process, which only works because of that transitive property, which I think the person you replied to did a decent job of relating.

In these explanations, people are getting hung up on the literal nuts and bolts steps, but simply understanding that we can send parts of a complete equation to each other and let the rules of math sort it out really clarifies the point.
For it to be written off as error you need to know the discrepancy, which means you need to know what it's supposed to be. When e.g. calculating the VAT or sales tax you owe the government, if the rounding deviates from legal requirements then unless it's in their favour you can be in for a bad time.

We have way less Uranium than we need to power the reactor activity we plan to have. Unlike LNG or coal, Uranium is a relatively small % of reactor OpEx, which means producers can/will pay a lot more to keep the lights on. https://www.therandomwalk.co/p/daily-data-uranium-is-the-new...
> to detect organic molecules in the atmosphere

You don't really need to detect organic molecules. If anyone detected 21% oxygen (O2, inorganic) in Earth's atmosphere, they sure knew something was going on. Lifeless planets like Venus, Mars, have atmospheres that are close to chemical equilibrium. And Earth's atmosphere is far from equilibrium, free oxygen it much too reactive and wouldn't exist without photosynthesis continuously producing it.

This is just nonsense. Unreal 5 shipped with Nanite and Lumen for 'more polygons', and have been adding features to it over the last 3 releases. Unity shipped a bunch of features (I'm not as familiar with unity) related to raytracing in their most recent release.

Which seems to be an iteration of the Precursor (Mobile, Open Hardware, RISC-V System-on-Chip (SoC) Development Kit) by Bunnie Huang and Sean Cobs

> Part of the purpose of Precursor is to validate the system-on-chip (SoC) design we hope eventually to produce as a custom ASIC for use in future such products. This SoC, which we call "Betrusted-SoC," is meant to be the central pillar of security for devices like Precursor. The version of Betrusted-SoC used in Precursor is based on a Xilinx FPGA and has the following features [...] [1]

As for the person who replied to you requesting LTE: won't happen, there's no completely FOSS stack for LTE. Always there is closed source firmware due to regulations.

I generally hold a similar opinion. However I have two data points that suggests back-doors are not available by default (for my government at least), but that they are aggressively bugging (or auditing, lol) devices:

* When I ordered the first generation Raspberry Pi, they were stuck in the toll a long time, and when they arrived all the warranty seals were broken. Consequently I never really used them.

* When I ordered the first generation Google Pixel, before it was generally available in my country, it was stuck in domestic mail for almost a week. The person who imported them sold and sent two phones the same day: the other one arrived after just two days and travelled a lot further. I used it regardless as I already considered phones a lost cause... (and could not with good conscience sell a possibly compromised device).

At this point I don't trust anything sent by mail.
I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that most of the British citizens don't want them there
Uhh it's a messed up site. I think they need some analytics lol.

That said I feel like so much of analytics this day and age are measuring what we want instead of accurately measuring. In the mess of data we generating conforms already to an existing belief. Everywhere I've worked a product guy or a ux person has an idea and makes use of analytics to prove their point and for some reason their point is always proven... I think analytics are like damned statistics.

Ask HN: What are the server specificiations required for a fullstack website?
We currently have a DDR3 16gb RAM, a Intel Xeon E3 1241 3.50GHZ, and few HDDs and looking for an upgrade. I think our bottle neck is the RAM hence I suggested an upgrade to 32gb DDR4 and replacing the HDDs with SSDs because why not. But the problem comes with the CPU. My supervisor suggests to upgrade the CPU too as he thinks this is not enough by current standards. But our server hosts 1 website(express backend and react website along with a sql database) which serves around 8000 people at peak load which is rare. Any advise on whether the CPU upgrade is needed or not?
I am asking this here as I am now knowledgeable enough to make a decision.

I've had the same thought about some US politicians recently. I think there's an element of feeling shame that connects public perception about a scandal. More and more we're seeing people who refuse to publicly express remorse, or even acknowledge that something they did was wrong or should be considered wrong.

And the way that public perception works, if you have enough "True believers" who shout loudly when someone tries to speak ill of you, it all seems to be just water off a duck's back.

I don't think Rust is the issue here. The same integer overflow can occur in any language and should be checked. Integer overflow and underflow is one of the most common security bugs after memory access errors. It is more that bump allocators are so efficient that a relatively inexpensive overflow check can be a significant fraction of their runtime.

The point as I understand it is that there was no unified vision for what leaving the EU would look like. There was instead a multitude of voices making (in many cases) grandiose and outlandish promises. For example:

"So within two years, before the negotiation with the EU is likely to be complete, and therefore before anything material has changed, we can negotiate a free trade area massively larger than the EU." - David Davis [https://conservativehome.com/2016/07/14/david-davis-trade-de...]

Coming to a free trade agreement with the EU should be "one of the easiest in human history" - Liam Fox [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-40667879]

Brexit would leave arrangements on the Irish border "absolutely unchanged" - Boris Johnson [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-35692452]

This meant that even when Leave won, there was a great amount of confusion and turmoil over what that actually implied. That's why the Chequers deal fell through despite fulfilling the outcoem of the referendum.

GraalVM is a hugely under-appreciated piece of technology. A lot of my initial interest came from being able to blend different languages into a single runtime via the polyglot APIs, but the combination of performance, strong sandboxing support, and multi-language support has helped it emerge as a key primitive for anyone wishing to build extensible platforms without sacrificing speed, security, or developer ergonomics.
