I was considering this, working on a new javafx app for a side project. Using java 17, and generating binaries with fxlauncher/jpackage/wix is not working great imo. Any good recommendations on tooling for using the graal route? I develop on linux but most users will be on windows. It would be great to not have to use windows vm for building the binaries (but i can if needed ofcourse).

Oh, I remember when that first came out. I’m not defending the NSA but criticizing the idea that it’s somehow unfair for some dude to go to jail for trying to extort his former employer. The NSA misconduct is a much less clear-cut question of Congressional approval and oversight - similar to how it’s not as simple as a murder charge when a soldier is accused of a war crime.
Pulsar can have both MQ semantics and pub/sub semantics. In pub/sub it's sorta like "Kafka with all bits people found it necessary to build later already built in", e.g., a proxy, schema registry, connectors, replication, tiered storage, all out of the box.

It also has lightweight streaming functions built-in, but they operate per record, so good for lightweight transforms/routing, not for stream aggregations etc.

It has more moving parts also, brokers are decoupled from storage, which is handled by BookKeeper, and replication between two clusters requires a ZooKeeper that both clusters can access, in addition to the ZK used by the brokers and bookies.

And it's a reasonably new project, so last time I looked into it, some of the documentation was incorrect, especially around managing bookies.

You probably would want to co-operate with the SIM vendor offices at airports, they already do same checks if you want mobile data in India so might as well do it for UPI.
The article doesn't say the tires are not inert.

It says that the stuff they use to hold the tires in place didn't hold. So instead of a nice reef, you had thousands of lose tires smashing marine life that tried to settle there.

That looks like it failed because the bands that were supposed to keep the bundles of tires together corroded.

It also let them collide with natural reefs and damage them.

Maybe there are some aspects of Google’s operations that ought to be public utilities, but I have a lot of trouble seeing YouTube as one of them. It may be dominant in its particular structure (or some aspects of it, since YouTube does lots of different things in one platform, many of which have many strong competitors), but I don’t really see the case that it is essential. There’s lots of channels for video distribution with slightly different models.

100% agreement, but still better than the alternatives we had for addressing a complex problem.

yea, the interfaces to other languages is part of building out that ecosystem. The language is still changing a bit, but should hopefully stabilize in 0.8 or 0.9 (0.7 is going to bring significant performance improvements)

Yaml is another interesting case where there is inconsistent support and different defaults, depending on the library or tool. Config glues our world together, it's a complex mess because of where it sits. Everything we have today is cobbled together. To me, CUE offers a really great theory and foundation if we want to do something about it as an industry. Lord knows we're all suffering in YamHell

I have my complaints and frustrations for sure, and I have been direct with the CUE team (in private) about some of the more sensitive issues, there are some comments on github and in public-ish documents if you're interested, mostly around the module proposal, which is in much better shape than anything written.

>is the beginning of another level of dystopia none of us wants

This 'dystopia' is called freedom of association and I can confidentially tell you that I personally support the rights of any business to choose who they enter contracts with and not to do business with a likely sex offender, so I think you ought to speak for yourself.

There is no basis on which to compel a private business to host everyone's content and I would in fact consider that to be quite dystopian.

No they don't. The part that's not ocean is an industrial wasteland; if you did manage to grow anything it would likely be too full of heavy metals to safely eat. You're probably thinking of Narita, which despite billing itself as "Tokyo" is 50km the other side of the prefectural border.

Behind the scenes story below :

Until last year, there was no way for Indian fintechs to provide UPI services to international citizens.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) decided in January 2023 to issue UPI enabled wallets to international citizens visiting India during G20.

We got a call late at night asking if our team can quickly deliver this solution.

Our team stepped up and the first version was delivered within 30 days.

This app was used to showcase UPI to various the G20 delegates who visited Bangalore in February.

We've spent another 5 months tweaking things and finally, we feel ready to launch the app in front of you :)

If a person followed me everywhere, took extensive notes on every facet of my life, and also got in my face constantly trying to sell me goods and services by means of shoving fliers in my face and yelling at top volume, you'd call it unethical of me to close my eyes and cover my ears. That kind of behavior is grounds for restraining orders, detainment, and prosecution, and is part of why we have concealed carry permits. But somehow it being digital makes it all okay in your book.

You are being deceptive if you try and paint contemporary web ads as these cute little fairies that just want to help separate you from your money. Ads on the internet these days are by default stuffed with cookies and trackers they don't need in order to psychologically harass people who don't want to be subjected to that pollution.

Maybe instead of it being incumbent on the less-powerful end user to be perpetually disciplined where businesses aren't, businesses should stop employing invasive tracking and psychological warfare, and maybe if they don't choose to do that on their own they should have their business crushed under twelve-digit fines that come with the same penalties as US student loans until they decide to play nice with the rest of society. One investor did say we need to see more pain in this economy, and although this wasn't what he meant by that, I like my idea much better than his.
It is way too conspiratorial, simply because when it's demonetized it's still shown completely for free with no limits on number of views.

It's as simple as the execs at every fortune 500 company with an advertising budget being religious in some form and being shown "here's your Diet Coke ad next to <insert spiderman+elsa/terorrism/podcast debating if hitler was bad>" by someone with an agenda/some journalist' article. Even if they don't really care, it's enough of a reason to go to Google and get a marketing discount for x years.
Very interesting given how much success UPI is having.

Some feedback:

Bad typo on homepage (should be sponsor not sponser - also why is this so prominent on your landing page, seems weird).

Who is transcorp and how are you related to them? Western people are very unlikely to have heard of them (I had to Google), and are you part of them, powered by them, etc? It's confusing having two brands like that at the top of your page.

The two "British" video testimonials don't have British accents. Are you sure they are actually British?

Finally in terms of practical steps I think not having branches at airports to do the KYC checks is a major issue.

Btw, I think partnerships would be a good way to market yourself. There are a lot of prepaid travel cards in the west and I can imagine they'd be happy to look at promoting you.

> While some may argue that a 64-bit integer, which can store integers ranging from zero to 264, is enough to count the grains of sand on Earth, we realized we need to go beyond this limit if we want to be able to store all kinds of transactions adequately.

64-bit integers are barely enough anyways. If the world-wide patrimony is somewhere near $100tn or $200tn, that's around a bit more than 10^16 (so let's round the exponent up to 17) cents, and that's just two digits short of the maximum that can be expressed with 64-bit signed integers!

If you want to sum things like inter-bank debt, or if we have a lot of growth or hyperinflation we might need to express between 1¢ and $1e18 or $1e19, but the max range with signed 64-bit integers is [-$9.2 x 10^18, $9.2 x 10^18] if we still need to represent cents. So 64 bits is starting to be a tad too small for financial purposes.

Even unsigned 64-bit integers are not that comfortable, but signed integers are needed if you're dealing with assets and liabilities.

128-bit is definitely too big, but it's a lot easier to deal with than variable-length integers. One might still use variable length encodings to save space on the wire or on disk, but in-memory 128-bit integers is the way to go.
Just a quick glance shows that they consider the overall emissions of a persons day to day life to be involved in the act of writing:

"The emission footprint of a US resident is approximately 15 metric tons CO2e per year (14), or approximately 1.7kg CO2e per hour. Therefore, assuming that a person’s emissions while writing are in line with their overall annual impact, we propose that the carbon footprint for a US resident generating a page of text (250 words) is approximately 1400 grams CO2e."

That's a pretty big assumption, which seems hardly scientific. You would think that they would isolate the act of writing and measure that against the CO2 emissions of equivalent AI.
Pretty much every bank uses kafka ad the central messaging layer. What people are missing in almost every post here is the write once read many without data duplication and with different offsets is the killer app for Kafka beyond just the near infinite scale which is also super appealing. The failure modes are way way better than Rabbit as well. Note: I owned the streaming platform for a top 5 bank in the us.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all to argue that YouTube has an effective monopoly in the video sharing space. Yes, there are certainly other platforms — Vimeo, Rumble, etc. — but purely in terms of reachability, YouTube absolutely holds near-absolute reign here. Trying to effectively monetize video content on other platforms, from what I understand, is extremely unlikely for the vast majority of creators.

And while there’s a valid counter-argument in some of the numbers creators on X have put up (e.g., Tucker Carlson), those are really the exceptional cases.

I could see Brand going straight over to X, but I don’t know if that’s sufficient to really argue that YouTube isn’t effectively a monopoly in the space.

> Are there enough studies to credibly worry?

Maybe, if the studies are accurate. And considering the recent headlines calling into question the accuracy of studies, the reality of mass-produced studies, and the general faults of the peer-reviewed system, I’m willing to say it’s a good chance most of them aren’t.

Assuming, however, that they all are the most damning studies to ever grace mankind, I have no need to worry. I have only so much ability to alter the course we’ve been put on. As do most people. Until the day we eviscerate our corporate & political overlords and institute ecological safety nets, there is nothing we as a group can do to offset the damage that governments and corporations have done to the planet.

if I am YT creator and I punch someone in a bar

I don't think it matters if the other person has a YT subscription. If you create videos about, say, beekeeping and you get in a random bar fight, no, probably not. IF you're some sort of 'influencer' and your public persona is all about being a tough-talking badass, such that your getting into a bar fight makes you the Main character in the entertainment/gossip pages for several days, then they might dump you because they don't want next weeks story to be 'YouTube subsidizes karaterobot's hard-drinking combat LARP.'

It's not a balanced appraisal of facts and harms and injury allocation like in a tort lawsuit; more a seat-of-the-pants executive judgement call on 'does hanging out with this guy commercially make us look bad?' If the answer is yes, then you suddenly no longer have a commercial relationship. It's similar to the 'morals clauses' in the contracts of TV and movie stars, but with the difference that tech firms basically set contractual terms unilaterally and the network effects are so strong that that no individual performer has any kind of leverage to request anything different.

It's worth understanding that the incredible concentration of corporate power on digital platforms is due to a mix of technological moats, the first-mover advantage of preferential attachment, and a philosophical shift away from breaking up monopolies, on the theory that large entities often deliver greater consumer benefits than a competitive market place, a viewpoint famously summarized here: https://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?articl...
