60% of power generation in the US is fossil fuels, which is horrible compared to any european country

Much less so than any country in Europe, and the cost of education is sky-high

> health systems

Which is terrible compared to any European country, while also being the most expensive and some of the least accessible in the world for advanced countries

> sues tech giants when they go too far

Barely. And the revolving door of regulatory capture is a major problem

> tries to manage the speculation/money markets

Again, less so than many countries. Also the US is $33 trillion in debt

The bottom line is: no public healthcare for most, extremely expensive medical costs, extremely expensive education costs, extremely expensive infrastructure costs, horrible use of fossil fuels, and horrific workers' rights.
Whats the definition of a hybrid, because if I run out of fuel but put my car in 1st gear and turn the engine over with the key, it will move forward, albeit very slowly and not very far, so technically manual ICE cars already are a hybrid!?!

Hence the question. :)
When? I also have a successful career despite not having any degree, but my read is that it's not as easy for newbies as it was 10 years ago.

It's anecdotal based on my social circle and their younger friends, but I'm wary of turning into my parents with advice like "you don't need a degree, just a firm handshake and an affinity for hard leetcode problems!"

And those in the outer boroughs will either have room for a charging system or can drive a hybrid.

Or just keep driving the diesel/petrol car they already have - no one is banning the use of existing cars after they ban the sale of /new/ cars.

OpenAI: How to track API usage and cost by API key?
Also the law has not been changed, and it might have difficulty getting through Parliament, especially as it goes against a manifesto commitment.
Slavery certainly had an impact on that as well.
I suppose that applies to importing them from foreign climates as well?
I think the biggest impact of virtual threads is that the ecosystem will abandon asynchronous APIs. No more futures, callbacks, servers where you have to make sure not to block the thread, reactive frameworks, etc. Just nice simple imperative blocking code. Nima is the first example i've seen:

https://helidon.io/nima

We've had two production bugs in the last two weeks caused by handlers blocking the server thread in apps using an async web framework, which would simply not have happened with a synchronous server.
I said, "resistance to penetration attackers with a moderate attack potential". EAL5 is the first level at which you must demonstrate that as can be seen in my 5th link [1] which bolds the diffs from the previous level.

None of those companies has ever once certified a product to that level as far as I am aware. The failure is so complete that it is generally viewed as impossible to fix the structural defects in products that failed a EAL5 certification without a total rewrite. It used to say that in the standard somewhere, but the standard revisions have moved it so I can not quote it directly.

No option, is the only option.
I do not think you can dismiss the national security element. There is wide spread recognition now that China controls too many aspects of supply chain, and that they are willing to use that as leverage to achieve geopolitical objectives. Getting out from under that influence is seen as a top priority by natsec. Moreover, cementing control over high-end chips production is a) securing our own levers, but also reducing future dependence that could arise.

Also, the CHIPS act targets high end chips because advanced chips are critical to developing AI. AI superiority has major economic implications which can roll into security implications, but more directly, AI will power modern military weapon systems, want it or not, those are coming.
R2R activists and open source activists have this insane view that giant corporations are making decisions for the sole purpose of thwarting their movement's goals. These people just can't see past their own agendas and have to portray every mundane decision about hardware and software design as specifically calibrated to inflict maximum harm to them personally. Like the engineers, managers, and executives at Apple literally have nothing else to do all day but contemplate how every decision they make harms R2R and open source advocacy.

These people are just exasperating.

I think the US military would be very worried about access to microchips in a conflict with China. Everything that makes their weapons hit their target relies on microchips, all the way down to radios directing troops on the ground.
Good news. They're not banning hybrids.
Got it - I mixed up the reply levels
It is better understood as a desperate attempt to win some support from a very unpopular government, who have all but abandoned hope of staying in power, or likely even their individual seats.
The accompanying statements about imaginary meat taxes etc underscored this.
It's all about the Roman Empire and World War II. The other day, while I was taking my son to school, we were talking about the Maginot Line. He knows that story better than I do, even though my son is only 8 years old. But he likes history and yes, he has a nice illustrated book about Rome.
That's fair, the input stuff is annoying but it doesn't get in the way of actually being able to play the game or get content -- stuff like modding and multiplayer/online storage is arguably a much bigger issue than needing to build your own controller mapping. I just think it would be really low-hanging fruit.

SDL is currently working on an Action Set equivalent, and I think their plan is to just use configuration files on disk for the most part. So in the same way that ProtonDB is mostly community maintained and outside of Steam and you can look up a game's settings and apply them to a 3rd-party game, what I think would be the easiest improvement would be allowing arbitrary search for community-supplied configs and moving that to be an independent URL that Steam hits that just downloads an encapsulated config file that Steam reads.

There is some way to do share non-Steam configs, if you link a 3rd-party game in Steam you will sometimes in community configs and then see a subset of the normal configs? I have no idea how that subset is calculated or if users need to do something to enable it though, the entire interface around sharing Steam Input configs even for games purchased from Steam is a little bit of a mess, or at least it is on Steam Deck.

I feel like I'm settling by saying this because I'd also like straight-up input binding outside of Steam, but even ignoring stuff like action sets, 3rd-party clients -- just being able to load a community config by typing a game name into a search box instead of needing to build my own would get rid of a lot of my problems, particularly for control schemes like flick stick that require me to take measurements of mouse/gyro sensitivity.

> but an independent Steam workshop page that developers pay to opt into would be a good approach to that

My current plan for my own games I'm working on is to leverage git for modding support -- I'm not going to build a studio-specific mod hosting service or partner with a company, I similarly don't really like ModDB that much and don't think they're great community players. So instead I'm going bundle a small git client with the final game and use that to download/update mods and handle stuff like versioning, readmes, etc...

That doesn't help with discoverability or ratings, but my thought process is that a lot of games (Terraria, Celeste, Hollow Knight, etc..) are organized around Github/Gitlab/Codeberg already for the primary modding engines, so at least if people are using that they can get issue trackers and embedded wikis, there's a standard way to download, it encourages releasing the mod source, you can look at activity to see whether or not a mod is active, you can have beta branches, you can check for updates without re-downloading everything, you can have a canonical source URL without wondering if a mod is only updated on Workshop/ModDB/whatever.

At least for the moment I don't plan to enable Steam Workshop for any of the games I'm working on, I think git will give me most of the same features minus a search function and user ratings. To be fair, search and user ratings are pretty important though, so :shrug: I'll see how that goes.

I've definitely build portable systems in Django, back in the day. The trick was to have decent test coverage and run over both (at the time) MySQL and SQLite.

(And yes, I should have used postgres).

I'll mention: The internet, in the nineties, was powered by 486-grade computers, and things were perfectly performant to a pretty decent scale. If you can get rid of issues like network latency (from e.g. a database on a different machine than your main computer), and similar 2020-era bottlenecks, a lot of web apps can serve millions of users from a single machine. That's doubly true with gigabytes of RAM and modern SSDs.

With RAID and regular backups, it can even be pretty robust.

It's even easier to do now that you can write static client apps that just need to push and pull little bits of data to and from the server.

That's not an architecture that's used often, but it keeps things very simple and can work quite well.
Doesn't surprise me. The economy demands exponential growth. Companies demand exponential growth. First the force in ads, then they offer a subscription to get rid of ads, then they put ads back in and jack up the subscription price, etc etc etc...

This is exactly where I think SQLite shines! Unfortunately, I don't get to do much green-fielding in my career.
It wouldn't bother me so much if not for the fact that they get lauded as geniuses for every innovation coming out of their companies.

I've seen dozens of people on LinkedIn claiming that Elon Musk invented self-landing rockets, and they get mad at me when respond with "no he fucking didn't! He hired people to figure that stuff out".

So I think "Fine, I guess you could make some kind of transitive argument that he hired the right people so he's responsible for the self-landing rocket", but in the same breath they will claim he's not responsible for any of the failures involved with his handling Twitter.

Well which is it? Is this executive some genius pulling all the strings of the company and should be given credit for all the innovations? Or are they just idiots like the rest of us and like to take credit for when things go well?
Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Hammer and Knife Scratch Test [video]
A couple of years ago me and my mother were responsible for clearing out my dad's entire collection of equipment accumulated over a career as an electronics engineer. I know much of it had value but there was too much to deal with so we sold a few obvious items and gave away the rest to someone on a local Facebook ham radio group who could drive round and take it all away. There was certainly a Tektronix oscilloscope like this among it! (Along with spectrum analyzers, test sets of various vintages..)

I'm not sure of the best way to find such opportunities, but I bet there's plenty of kit like this getting thrown out when people's affairs are being put into order by their relatives. It gets me to thinking I should add some tips in my will as to where to give away my technical odds and ends(!)
Not OC, but I burn through searches trying to chase down stacktrace errors. We're going through a big upgrade off of JDK8, so there's a lot of random queries.

It's clear we've all wrestled with GitHub actions and Jenkins in some shape or form. Debugging them can feel like being in an escape room, without any clues.

I work at Trunk.io and we have a tool called CI Debugger. It helps you understand your workflows. Instead of getting lost in logfiles and commits, you can pinpoint where things are bogging down or going haywire. It can give you a clearer picture of what's happening under the hood. Like having a heat map for the CI/CD processes.

What kind of dream world are you living in? It's not a defense, it's a cost/benefit analysis. A map app that gives great routes for 99% of use cases is good enough, there's no point spending billions making it 0.1% better.

Google is not a charity. Google Maps earns them some amount of money, it is not sustainable to spend significantly more than that amount of money on it. They are a for-profit company, if a product is losing significant amounts of money they will kill it.
You said there's no damages. The lost licensing fee is the basis for actual damages, plus there's likely statutory damages available here too.

Hybrids that are never plugged in are just slightly more efficient ICE cars.
120VAC is a waste if you are trying to generate power locally. Unless it's just for a few days or a week.

Better to have 12VDC backups of whatever you need. Lights, refrigerator, fans, electronics. Like a semi cab. Then a wood stove for heat and cooking.

Then the 12VDC can come from solar, wind, batteries, car engines, bicycles, etc.

> garbage taxes

if houseboats are serviced by municipal garbage collection or sewers shouldn't they have to pay for it?

> houseboats cost as much as normal houses or even more

I don't live in Amsterdam, but if a couple taxes raised the cost of houseboats to be the same as houses, then your story sounds like some freeloaders were forced to pay for services that they previously got huge subsidies for.
No. The grid is not keeping up, charging stations are not keeping up, electricity production is not keeping up, etc.

I havent read the article. Im still stuck at work. also there was a senate during imperial time.
I think there's something wrong with your palace if you're maxing out 100A breakers, that's 720[hr] x 13[kWh] x 0.30[$/kWh] = $2.8k/month. Even if you meant 1/3 duty it's $936/month.

Average household usage in US is 20-40kWh/day... not sure where does 13kW figure fits in that picture.
Thanks for the video. I feel like there's a bit of conflation between the terms "performance(latency)" and "throughput", but I see the point. I'd be interested to see that latency graph (Time marker 15:38) between platform and virtual threads in the case where the server doesn't manufacture a 100ms delay (say, in the case of a caching reverse-proxy).

Also - millions of Java programmers thank you for not going to async/await. What an evil source-code virus (among other things that is).

I tried to watch it at 1.25x speed as I normally do, but you already talk at 1.25x speed, so no need !
The alternative is to write good queries! Alternatively, a better query planner that has a more liberal approach to "I know what you want, not what you're asking for". A great article on this re: Planetscale's approach is at https://vitess.io/blog/2021-11-02-why-write-new-planner/
Who was it that observed that one of the horrors of the internet as we have built it, is that because we are the product, we live in a world where whatever is free is evermore enshittified,

It is interesting to me how many video conference apps default to showing you your whole camera the entire time. It's useful to check a video preview for anything egregious in the space around you, but as a constant source of background noise while you talk? Even without body dysmorphia issues, it seems like a attention/focus problem. Of course it makes dysmorphia issues worse.

I have been working to always turn that preview camera off, because I find it distracting and because of dysmorphia issues. It's differently complicated in every video conference app. It seems obvious to me at this point that should be the default behavior. I don't understand why it is not.
And yet, somehow, the thought of being ruled by mostly young people is even more nightmarish than the gerontocracy we currently have.

Wow, I had no idea that a car engine produced more than a hundred kilowatts of power, that's ridiculous! (For comparison, an average household consumes something like tens of kilowatt hours per day, so driving for an hour (I guess at peak, which an engine wont always be) may be similar to 5 or 10 days of a household's power usage, and not to mention much less efficiently generated.
They only walked back it applying retroactively. Now it's from the next LTS release.

There's also SELinux on Android.
They were making an analogy between developers using constants in code to avoid hard-coding values in all over the place, and government agencies using references to things defined in other places to avoid "hard-coding" lists of countries in random rules all over the place.

Going EAL5 and above doesn't make sense from a cost to security ratio UNLESS the customer is open to paying more for that level of verification.

Certain agencies and bureaus within the DoD do ask for this and pay for it, but most are good enough with EAL4.

Most attacks can be resolved by following the bare minimum recommendations of the MITRE ATTACK framework (marketing buzzwords aside).

Least Priviliged Access, Entitelement Management, Identity Enforcement, etc are all much easier wins and concepts that haven't been tackled yet.

Companies will provide EAL5+ if the opportunity is large enough, but it won't be publicized. Iykyk. If not, chat with your SI.
You can absolutely use numpy arrays with C functions using ctypes. Numpy has `numpy.ctypeslib` which takes care of some of the boilerplate involved.

Everyone pretty much agrees that effective remote work needs a dedicated setup. Which means having an extra room. That means remote work is going to increase real estate footprint. The carbon savings on commute will instead be used up for propping up suburban lifestyle.

If one is living in a dense city and going to use wework instead, then we still need wework office buildings and commute will still be involved. So I don't see real carbon savings with a switch to remote.
Well, that's why the word "official" is in there. Obviously you could mock up the entire github actions scaffolding locally and have it inject environment variables and support all the actions and everything, but keeping that up to date will be a nightmare if you're doing it on your own.

Obviously you could put the whole CI/CD into a bash script and not use any features or functionality provided by github actions but there are plenty of nice things that it does and it would be a shame to not use any of them.
