Wow, PROCESS_MODE_BACKGROUND_BEGIN is quite the footgun. I wonder if this started out as a hack to reduce the impact of OEM bloatware on benchmarks. Is there an easy way to list all processes that use this priority class?
On android (and maybe iOS?) apps define seperate notification channels for each category, and you can turn off specific channels quickly by sliding over on the notification in OxygenOS. Most apps I've seen have specific channels for marketing including food delivery apps.

So it just took a few days of turning off junk notifications whenever I saw them to totally clean them up. I now only get the ones I want.
Sysadmin, devops, platform eng all suffer from made up problems.

What’s IAM?

Access control.

What’s a firewall?

Access control.

What’s a route table?

Access control.

What are resource limits and reservations?

Access control.

Yet years of legacy solutions has us discussing all these things as if they are fundamentally different. User management comes wrapped in vacuous jargon. Network addressing schemes are completely design by the pocket protector committee (fuck off they can be wrapped in abstraction that is less obtuse jargon and more memorable/mnemonic).

There are no users, groups, or network routes in the machine. Devops is obtuse access control because a lot of companies can make money from insuring its obtuse access control.
Half a liter of water? Wow.

We can probably derive the power usage from that, considering that the heat is generated by consuming electricity.

I assume they do evaporative cooling, Anyone with enough physics knowledge to calculate this?

At least in my kitchen, evaporating 500ml of water takes significant time and energy.
> What coping mechanisms would that be?

One example; King of the Mountains: Tibetan and Sherpa Physiological Adaptations for Life at High Altitude - https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/physiol.000...

> What "original adaptations" are you referring to?

That should have been obvious from the context. A people's "native and niche" geographical area in which they evolved to adapt. Eg. Chukchi in the Arctic (tolerance to extreme cold by increased basal metabolic rate and blood pressure), Bajau Freedivers of Indonesia (much larger spleen) etc. More prosaically darker skin as you get closer to the equator and lighter skin as you go away from it.

> How about you give us a reference to this article before paraphrasing from memory?

How about you understand what is meant when i have said "which i read a long time ago"? I myself have been searching for this for a while now but i don't recall the title and hence am unable to find it. However, One very good example of BMI vs. Fat is this video about the epidemic of diabetes in poor countries that aren't overweight where the British and Indian scientists measure their fat content (the wai wai paradox at 7:40) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGuED1JczbI
Similar to the old situation in the article, we are using sequential 64 bit primary keys, but we use an additional random 64 bit key for external usage (instead of 128 bit).

The external key is base64 encoded for use in URLs which results in an 11 byte string.

This hides any information about the size of the data, the creation date of customer accounts (which would be sort of visible with UUIDv7) and prevents anyone from attempting to enumerate data by changing the integer in URLs.

I thought about using UUIDs as external keys but the only compelling use case seems to be the ability to generate keys from many decoupled sources that have to be merged later.

64 bit should be enough for most things https://youtu.be/gocwRvLhDf8?si=QBheJCG21bAAV0Z7
You don't even need to go very deep to find financial interests at stake: Thorn sells a "comprehensive solution for platforms to identify, remove and report child sexual abuse material." [1]
So the CEO of this Heat Initiative is pressuring Apple to implement the kind of solution her previous company is selling. But yes, Eric Schmidt famously said he thinks that there is no right to privacy. Although he did try to get a journalist fired for what he considered an infringement on his privacy, so I imagine this only applies to us peasants. But billionaire philanthropy is definitely a wonderful thing, let's keep telling ourselves how great it is that Schmidt, Gates and co are willing to do so much disinterested work to help the world.

Afaik that kind of entropy generation is silly on modern machines. You should just call getrandom (or whatever the equivalent is for the modern OS it’s running on is) and be done with it. Hand rolled entropy like this isn’t necessary anymore - the OSes have very high quality CSPRNGs baked in natively and seeded directly from interrupts and other HW entropy sources.
A colleague of mine had to do this regularly when working on certain projects for the gov. It was an air-gapped environment. So no access to the internet.

This basically meant loading up a thumb drive of all the possible documentation he could get. You can use site archive tools to download an entire website's documentation. Depending on the complexity of what you want to build - you would also probably need to mirror a subset of your package manager i.e. npm mirror. Probably lots of eBooks, courses, tutorials. Nowadays maybe even a LLM might be a useful reference.

And with which SW?
I mean, I can do “anything” with C++, but doing what I did in Basic in 100 lines would need 1000, plus downloading libraries and frameworks and reading several 500+ pages manuals. If your kid is not an english native speaker, you have yet another hurdle.
Yes. Basically for this to be economical, it would have to be both low cost and more high in value than alternative ways to recycle plastic. Basically making plastic out of plastic probably takes less energy and results in a more valuable product that can be recycled more than once. Alternatively, burning it and using the resulting heat for energy generation is also very common.

And then there is the question of scale and sustainability. Recovering hydrogen from what is essentially a product made from fossil fuels to then burn it is not really that helpful. And there is only so much plastic out there that we can recover. At best we get a second use out of the fossil carbon before it is released back into the atmosphere. But you could argue that a landfill at least captures the carbon more permanently. So, labeling this as green or sustainable would be a bit of a stretch of the definition.
That is nice.

The big plus for VeraCrypt (and TrueCrypt before that), however, is that it works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. If you need an encrypted flash drive for sharing data between different systems, it's the only option that I know of. Which is unfortunate.
Don't. Sit outside and just exist for once :)
Attestation protects against rootkits and unauthorized client software, it doesn't protect against automation, for the simple reason that (legally required) accessibility tools need to be able to interact with the UI on-screen (e.g. screen-readers don't actually OCR the screen (at least, not normally), instead they'll use the OS-mediated APIs for accessibility and automation.
Or their watches, which is part of what makes them able to have an always on display and hit e.g 20+d on my Fenix 7 (or more if you turn off continuous HR).

CallAnnie seems to use iOS built-in "neural"/AI functionality/API, which does processing on-device (rather than in-the-cloud), which requires your phone's SoC to have the gubbins for accelerating those computations (basically a mini-TPU): https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/neural-engine-tra... - Apple says you need an A11+ for iPhone (since iPhone X), or A12+ for iPad, and M1+ for macOS.

First of all, erythritol is not an ingredient in Stevia. They're two completely different substances. The author is probably thinking of Truvia which contains both ingredients.

More importantly, literally every substance on the planet is "linked to heart attack and stroke" according to observational studies and animal studies. Most notably, sugar which is commonly replaced by erythritol in low-calorie food. When you can choose which confounders to control for instead of conducting an RCT on the general population, you can get any result you want and it'll always be statistically significant.

>The results “should not be extrapolated to the general population, as the participants in the intervention were already at increased risk for cardiovascular events,” Rankin said.

You don't say?
For example if you google "why did Japan enter WW2" the summary answer is:

It makes perfect sense. Motors don't act like they have intent, which by the way is all that matters for real world consequences not whether you believe it "really" has intent.

Not every analogy makes sense. This just isn't one of them.
I see you don't know how presumption of innocence works. I'm not a fan of Microsoft, but the same applies to them as anyone else.

You can be sued for anything, whether true or not. In the court, it must be proven that you did what you are sued for. So it is either proven, or not, and then the court issues the verdict. If it is not, like in Microsoft's case, they are still innocent. It does not matter whether it was impossible to prove or Apple stopped pursing the case; the court said they are guilty. If you continue say they did it, it is a defamation.

Even without regarding the above, the case was really shaky. Microsoft using the same vendor through a chain (via Intel) as Apple does not mean they are "stealing". That vendor might learn something from working with them, but that does not imply what you said. Nevermind, that Video for Windows had somewhat different scope (video subsystem), than Quicktime (multimedia subsystem). For Apple, it was simply a negotiation card.

Look & feel lawsuit was literally the oh noes, they do similar thing as we do case.

I am six months into a startup. It's a Python monolith with Postgres. It's been a success. There's a product-market fit, paying customers, and a healthy roadmap. The team picked boring tech, and it was the right call. Now, we are scaling to add exponentially more customers and hiring more people. We need to add resilience. We must tackle challenges around back pressure, flaky third parties, etc. Now is the time to introduce additional complexities because they pay for themselves. Such complexities are introducing dedicated read models and caching so we compute on write instead of every query/request, some messaging tech. We want to use Node instead of Django for our client-facing Dashboards and Dynamo for some tables.

In summary, the evolutionary journey of a system starting with a monolith, with a single language, and single db tech with some gnarly SQL isn't very sexy. Still, it takes you a long way before you must reevaluate and acknowledge that optimising for Flow and Pivoting over everything else turns into Flow and Cost to Serve. Your mileage may, of course, vary.
TV has been (or at least had been) at the center of Japanese media and culture for decades so it must have influenced quite a lot. There's also all the other stuff in Japan from magazines to billboards and the signs you see out on the street that are just as wacky and crammed. Japanese design is super crammed in general, and I think some of it comes down to just having less space relative to the number of people and things around, so the design has to be crammed on stuff like billboards and advertisements.

if Sony was in any way competent, they would bundle Sony music and Sony movie catalogue into a media player on the Sony PlayStation, and then use it as the streaming device it should have been since PS2.

Instead the fucking amateurs at Sony continue to ruin their perfectly good reputation, and make sure no one will buy a PS6. Already gamers are switching to pc in droves because consoles are more expensive for less functionality. this just gets worse.

ULID isn't an "official" standard like UUID. Having a real standard usually promotes interoperability and makes it easier to use. Additionally as others have pointed out you can already use UUIDv7 with some databases since it's just 16 opaque bytes and the database doesn't care what's actually in the UUID field.

I'm not really sure what you mean. What information from what sources? What is dubious? I didn't quote anything and simply stated my understanding. I am not aware of the 6-24 month cross over point being so-called "FUD". I don't think I have read this report directly before, but I just found Volvo's 50 page report (https://www.volvocars.com/images/v/-/media/market-assets/int...). On page 6, it effectively confirms what I just stated. With wind power recharging batteries, EVs cross over ICE at 49,000km. With EU-28 mix at 77,000km. With standard global electricity mixed power sources at 110,000km. Given I've had my car since 2015 and barely have 50,000 miles on it, that means that I would need to drive an EV for at least ten years before it crosses over an ICE car for CO2 emissions, according to Volvo's data. Now, I realize that my driving mileage is probably well under average, but it is my personal usage. (Of course, the data has +/- components depending on various specifics, but the idea is there.)

So that effectively confirms (and is actually worse than) what I stated above. Everything else I am merely asking about because I haven't seen the data that says one way or the other. You and the other commenter claim there's the magic data out there if I "just search for it", while everything I've stated is just oil propaganda. It's just dumb that if you even ask for data regarding EVs, you get labeled an oil person, when such a claim, for myself, could not be further from the truth.

The Volvo report seems pretty good, so I guess I'll read it while missing out on your and the other commenters' magic data unless you decide to materialize it. Although, it goes without saying that Volvo stands to make money from this, so there is a conflict of interest for sure, at least for this particular report. But it seems relatively accurate to my read so far.
