I don't really buy that- if every pitcher is 50% better, a pitcher still gets an advantage from speed/motion. Even if that advantage is lessened, players are still going to eke out every bit of performance that they can. IMO the root cause is really down to how hyper-optimized pitching is now, where players can absolutely maximize performance, but that also increases injury rate. How can you put the genie back in the bottle?

And what exactly is stopping you from using said harvested battery? It works. You plug it in, and it's fine. Literally the only thing you miss is the battery life indicator (which, seems reasonable, since a harvested device may have had its battery life reset or something) and the pop-up that says this battery may not be an original component if you check the Settings menu. That's it. What's the issue here?

All search engines are inherently biased, since they perform a ranking task (which is a value judgement). They all encode (possibly uncessfully) the values of their creator. This is why having multiple search engines is important, as diversity in search options is the closes you'll get to objectivity.

I am in awe of this article. It has two verifiable pieces of information - a FDA study indicated that Vioxx was responsible for 55,000 deaths and that Merck had known about lethal side effects before launching the drug.

The key point in the article? A magazine publisher with no background in epidemical studies does a "quick study" of the CDC website and says that "perhaps" 500,000 deaths resulted from Vioxx.

Then there's about 10 paragraphs of hand writing and alarmism before we get to the befuddling conclusion that "in today's world and in the opinion of our own media, American lives are quite cheap, unlike those in China. "

I hardly know how to unravel that.

Why do I need private addresses?

Okay, in real life I need private addresses because I connect to things that are only available over IPv4. So there’s some negotiation to make sure that my private network does not have an addressing conflict with the other network, there are NATs in the way, and traceroute gives output that is every bit as bad as you would expect. The ACLs that everyone (arguably quite reasonably) sets up suck are fiddly because the clients don’t have well defined address ranges. When people allocate /24 subsets out of IPv4 private space, the probability of collision is annoyingly high. Amateur hour indeed.

I would take globally unique but “private” IPv6 addresses, over private links, with private routes (dynamic or static), and ACLs that actually make sense any day. Heck, I would happily go IPv6 only!
> You could have multiple sources of dictionary identified by something like a hash, and cached in the browser.

The browser actually has a very advanced implementation of something like this! They're called urls. The work here is to make it possible to identify dictionaries & retrieve & cache them in the browsers.

Mozilla I think smartly avoided creating a spec that requires some variety of centralized governance of what dictionaries to use, like you describe. Whatever the intent of such a community, it creates biases & will have a hard time figuring out what sets of dictionaries are worth creating, for what intents or code bases, and adapting or not as it discovers underserved code bases.

Fact is the industrial countries who has gone green the fastest and cheapest is France. Switzerland has some of the oldest nuclear plants in the world and they are still going strong.

Yes it takes time to build up an nuclear industry but Poland will also not go from mostly coal to all solar and wind anytime soon.

Germany started its transition in the 90s and they are not close 30 years later. Had Germany in the 90s decided to go nuclear they would be green by now and not in an energy crisis.

Poland in 10 years can finish a plant a year and 2-3 years after 2 plant a year and 2-3 years after that 3 plants a year. That how turn a full coal to a fully green grid.

No need for costly grid rebuild, just nuclear plant in the same places coal plants are now mostly.

Edit: And in terms of lost time, if anything not going with nuclear is lost time. By the Koyoto protocol France already had a green grid. We literally had a solution and the anti nuclear movement prevented that solution.

Poland as all European countries is sadly moving to slowly. After 40 years of anti nuclear domiance the energy crisis has shifted perseptions and we are now finally getting back into gear.

What matters is not how long the first one takes but what the yearly completion rate is. Europe should standardize on single reactor and plan to build 150-200 plants. That can easly be done before 2050 and would have lots of energy left over for green jet fuel as well.
The AVA_VAN (vulnerability analysis) Security Assurance Requirement (SAR). AVA_VAN.4 requires “resistance to penetration attackers with a moderate attack potential”. AVA_VAN.4 is only required for EAL5 and higher.

You could individually incorporate a higher AVA_VAN into a lower EAL as a augmentation, but few do that. You also do not get any of the other conformance assurances that a higher EAL gives you. There is a reason we use EAL as a whole instead of just quoting the AVA_VAN at each other.

Though maybe you are talking about the Security Functional Requirements (SFR) which define the security properties of your system? That is somewhat orthogonal. You have properties and assurance you conform to the properties. Conformance more closely maps to “level of security” as seen in the AVA_VAN SAR. However, the properties are just as important for the usage of the final product because you might be proving you absolutely certainly do nothing useful.
> The world is actively combating and will fix climate change.

At this point, that's faith :-).

Look at the numbers: CO2 emissions are increasing every year. Climate change is happening faster than the models predicted. Biodiversity is dropping, we are living a mass extinction right now, it is an observed fact and not a prediction. Fossil fuels are not unlimited, we passed the peak of conventional oil production in 2008, the general peak is expected soon, same for LNG. We don't have any sustainable energy that can remotely replace fossil fuels.

The one thing that is pretty clear is that we must consume less. But we are not doing that, instead we are consuming more every year. Hiding behind some sort of "others will fix it, I have faith" Silicon Valley religion, or something.

They aren't perfectly equivalent because the virtual thread example uses a loop instead of the following (dropping the try/catch):

// client.sendAsync(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString())
var response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());
// .thenApply(HttpResponse::body)
var body = response.body();
// .thenApply(this::getImageURLs)
var urls = getImageURLs(body);
// .thenCompose(this::getImages)
var images = getImages(urls);
// .thenAccept(this::saveImages)
saveImages(images);

And if it had been written this way it would have been clearer that they are, in fact, equivalent. But generally people don't write like this, they use looping constructs.

Regardless, the important bit is that the parallel/concurrent bit of the async one is that it is cast off into an async system. The following execution steps are, well, steps. Each executed in sequence. Just like the body of the virtual thread example would be executed, but without the cumbersome noise of thenApply and thenCompose and such.

I want a Microsoft distro of linux instead of Windows. I'd pay for it.

No, not the WSL. Although, WSL is a good product IMO.
I used a windows computer this week for the first time in years. I was really happy with WSL and how well integrated it was, in particular how easy it was to setup GPU drivers which historically I've found is very touchy. I hate to say it but windows+wsl felt like a viable alternative for my current setup of a mac for office apps and a linux laptop for development.

That said, the only times I really interacted with windows was to install chrome (despite various pleading), to have it automatically bing search for whatever the screen background was when I logged in (only fell for that once), to have random news and other crap pop up, and to have to turn off the speaker because it kept making notification noises about whatever useless stuff it constantly is notifying you about.

As someone who is easily distracted, I don't know how people can work in windows, it always felt like it's not made for me, it's made for microsoft to push stuff at me. But for people who are less touchy it seems decent these days, particularly in light of wsl.

Why the hell shouldn’t that apply to people that are going to use insurance? The reason our healthcare costs are so high is because everyone with insurance past their deductible is price insensitive. People might at least care about their copay enough to make a difference.

I know providers will balk because they negotiate with different insurers, but if they know how much they’re going to bill after the fact surely they can give you an estimate before.

Not to get too nitpicky, but the pitch clock actually came into effect in the majors in February 2023 (spring training) or March 2023 (regular season). It debuted much earlier in minor (2015), fall (2014), and college (2010) leagues.

The claim seems to be that exercise adaptation includes shutting down other metabolic activity to keep energy use stable. And that this could explain some of the beneficial effects of exercises because some of those activities that could be down regulated are things like inflammatory processes that are harmful if left over active.

I think the article is poorly written. What it says can't be true for very high activity levels (eg, marathon training or something), but does seem possible for moderate activity increases like the extra steps people get out of casual fit bit use.

It makes it really unclear what level of activity the Hazda it talks about are at, but sort of implies that it is in this moderate range. At one point it describes "moderately active" people as "the kind of folks who get some exercise during the week and make a point to take the stairs" so it seems like the activity level they are describing is not especially high.

Just talking about the software-side of things:
I think they actually have been adding very neat features with the past few updates. Automatic image OCR, so you can copy/paste text, inserting text via camera, the transformer-based keyboard and such are small, but very useful features.

I much prefer that over Microsoft's way of adding a new UI that can do less than previous iterations, while also being less performant and tons of half-baked features like their newly-planned Copilot, still unfinished Android subsystem, worse search, etc.

Of course, neither approach is perfect, but I actually prefer system that change little on the surface and mainly adds small, but well-integrated features over time. Not saying Apple is perfect (there's tons that could be done regarding user freedom on iOS, backwards-compatibility and gaming), but neither are the competitioners.
> So Am I Dropping Windows for macOS?

I hate that this is the only practical "alternative," as OSX is a uncompromising commitment. You have to buy a whole new device and completely change your software ecosystem. Its like getting up and moving to a different country.

It would be cool if one of the OEMs finally "snapped" and started shipping Android, SteamOS, ChromeOS, or some other distro in a default dual-boot config. Then again, most are happy shipping horrific bloatware that makes Windows 11 ads look like hand written assembly, so perhaps not...
From Lowe's article:

"I do not see the effects that Unz is talking about. Not at all. A single-cause change in the death rate of the magnitude that he's proposing should most certainly show up in these figures (particularly the latter chart), but it isn't there. I see no reason to take this claim seriously."

I don't think anybody is attributing it solely to Valve, but it's hard to deny that Valve is currently the main driving force behind gaming on Linux, hence they're getting lots of praise.

Britain spied on the CEO of OVH (2016)
After building and using my own bookkeeping solution for my small business, one of the main takeaways for me before and after I built it was that bookkeeping software is only useful once you know the bookkeeping rules. Whatever software solution you use - whether that's some webapp, an Excel sheet, or some homegrown solution - you always need to know these rules. Even the simple rules for a small business take some time and understanding to get a grip on. I haven't seen bookkeeping software that is plug-and-play, so without knowing these rules as a user, if that's even possible!?

Knowing this for my own situation made me decide to opt for a homegrown software solution, because I had to learn these rules anyway. I felt more capable in my programming language of choice than in Excel, and I didn't want to pay for a SaaS solution, let alone learn another interface.

I may be misunderstanding, let me take a step back.

In my usage of the term “framework”, I mean the UI technology used to implement the product UI. So if a design system is “built in React”, it means that any usage of the DS must also be in React.

If that definition holds true, then making consistent UI across a company basically requires that the DS be not only framework-agnostic but platform-agnostic as well.

My favorite example for this problem is Netflix. You could restore a BlackBerry from 2005 that you found at a pawn shop and it would probably have a Netflix app on it. They might be the most ubiquitous technology on the planet. This means their UX has to be consistent between iOS, Android, TV, Web, PlayStation, Xbox, etc.

Even on the web, you have the experience itself, as well as several backend/b2b and internal UIs.

At that scale, the question of “react vs vue vs htmx” is waaaay out of scope, no?

I literally stopped at the Ford dealer today; there, I told the sales lady trying to sell me on the F150 that, for a few more thousand dollars, I prefer the F250 because I don't want a dinky euroboost 2.7 L turbo V6.

Luckily the F250 has a 6.8L V8 base.
Yeah I agree - the design system should be a spec that engineers should adhere to - colors or spacing between elements and so forth.

That leaves an engineering team to implement using the tools they are comfortable with and what works with their stack.
"but you can't write your own layout algorithm."

Of course you can - in javascript. What is stopping you? (except that you don't like it)

You can also ditch the DOM alltogether and only use the canvas/webgl and maybe your language of choice via emscripten and wasm, if you really cannot stand js/ts.

The web as a plattform is very, very powerful.
The app you make, you can ship by simply sending a link. And people can just try it out without installing something and all quite save in a sandbox.

So none of your solutions are better suited than the web stack, if you intend to target the maximum audience with the minimum hazzle. You have to beat that, if you want to overcome the web.

Also, can you give me one example of a nice looking app in swing? Websites are optimized for enabling good UI and UX. Because the moment a user is confused - he is gone very quickly.
And people can also customize their experience. I use dark reader and ublock.

HTML and everything around it is often a ugly chaotic mess, but a incredibly powerful one.
