What's with the politicising at the end? I agree that both the EU (from where I'm from) and the US have chosen to take a very dark and authoritarian view on immigration, but I think that that discussion doesn't belong in a Python release announcement.

What Industry Knew About the Perils of PFAS
Because your friends can easily be 10-30 miles away and only accessible via shared roadways with 55mph road traffic. There are no cross country bike routes here.

Building around roads results in everything being pushed farther away and that includes other people’s homes too.
I mean it’s not that hard to rent a couple juicing machines and make 700 cups of oj. Maybe a bit expensive because you have to source them in a large radius but not crazy expensive. If it has to be done manually ok then it’s just expensive because of labor costs but still 20 people could probably knock it out with a press. I’d probably charge at least 5-6$ a head for that ideally closer to $10 just because it’s not simple to arrange but doable

> I can see why they described it as a '5 entry load buffer' for instance but it's not really accurate to the true microarchitecture.

That's what it looks like to software. I can put 5 loads between two other loads that miss cache, and the cache miss latency will overlap. It feels like a 5 entry load buffer to software. I'm more than happy to describe the true microarchitecture if Arm talks about it :) Otherwise it'll be "hey, how does it look to software from a performance perspective?"

> There's also lots of fun details of the crazy things you have to do to hit your frequency target (often where you just ignore certain rare hazard or error conditions and detect them later and fix it up).

Yeah people do this everywhere. Sometimes you can find 20+ cycle penalties for stuff like a load that depends on a page-crossing store. The trick is making sure the hazards are indeed rare relative to the penalty. Also the biggest penalties in practice are cache misses and DRAM latency in the hundreds of cycles. Intra-core penalties never come close.
For reasons, I had to learn about actual insanity. 5% is spot on (filed under believe but cannot prove). The kicker is when someone is high functioning, as in can pass for sane, in most contexts. But then unpredictably acts totally out of bounds, sometimes in very scary ways.

Start thinking about insanity and you'll get pulled down the sinkhole of "what is sane?", "am I insane?", "would I know if I wasn't?"

IMHO, the takeaway point isn't "insane" or "sane". It's more like "Do I have a theory of mind for the person(s) I'm interacing with?" and "How do I have compassion for people who are suffering in ways that I don't understand?"

YMMV.
Hidden memory effects of BigDecimal
I really like this suggestion, and the others listed. What they have in common is they're cultivating a creative and curious DIY attitude. If you can figure out how a small engine runs, or how sounds are created, or how to use woodworking tools, you build confidence that the same process of patient exploration can be applied to anything- including computers, code, and games!
Apple and devs plan software fixes for iPhone 15 Pro overheating issues
At the very least not practically, a lot of companies went WFH, for example. There might have been less official forcing but behavior for sure changed.
Does anyone know if the plus models are restricted to ChromeOS only like the older models and, if that's the case, if they can be unlocked like most of the older ones?
I’m skeptical but open to changing my mind. The suicide paper was interesting, I think it makes sense that early in the pandemic suicides would decrease. I would be interested to see a similar analysis for 2022 and 2023 since I would expect there to be many second-order suicides (not a suicide during the lockdown but a later suicide as a result of lost social interactions, additional addictions and economic impacts).

Are there any particular papers in the report that you think are evidence that lockdowns prevented health system collapse and were beneficial overall?

I had a preliminary skim of it and decided to check the first relevant citation for lockdown effectiveness. It has the same problems as most of the studies I have seen: it does not include any of the second order effects. Of course virus transmission is reduced by limiting interactions but this is only one part of the story. This may be answered in some of the other references but I need to put it aside for now.
Exactly the same, except during the hottest and coldest parts of the year, I pay an electric bill and still feel miserable.
Polarised, but still balanced due to the symmetric nature of the poem's structure!
> mom and pop stores, largely staffed by the owners, couldn't realistically open for seven days while, for the big chains, it was just a dollars and cents calculation.

When Poland enacted its ban on Sunday shopping, things worked the very opposite: the law allows a convenience store to stay open 7 days a week if it is owner-operated, and indeed these shops are the places on which people depend on Sundays.
Depends a lot on the jurisdiction. In Austin, the police will declare "no-refusal" weekends (typically holidays) in which they declare in advance that they'll get a warrant for a blood draw in the case of refusals. If you look at the DUI arrest stats for those weekends, about half of them involve warrant based blood draws after breathalyzer refusals.
> > the product owner describes his requirement in as much detail as possible

> This is basically science fiction

Product owners describing requirements in detail! More like fantasy, I think.
I don’t think optimizing revenues legally is slimy. If flying from wherever to Adelaide with a stop in Melbourne where most people deplane is both legal and profitable I’d hardly consider them slimy for doing it. Stupid regulations like the one necessitating this drive costs up for passengers.
>If your nuclear capacity can cover the worst case where solar and wind aren’t producing, it can cover all cases, and the solar and wind become irrelevant.

This is plainly false; nation-wide energy consumption isn't fixed, it adapts to supply. Not all usage of energy is equally valuable, if the prices go up, you might choose to turn off your TV, but you'll probably keep your fridge running. With more energy, more activity can happen at lower prices.
I stopped in the middle of reading the post just for this. It was so distracting I was unable to focus on the text. It's a fun gimmick, but the result is that someone who wanted to read the post, stopped in the middle.
That's like saying the only novelty of trolley bags are the wheels.

That's. The. Point.

Instead of a closed down consumer hardware like a phone, tab, laptop, there's something that you can physically expand, read data from nature using it, and make changes directly in the physical world using code.

That's fantastic and exciting.
As a truly aspiring programmer, you should start learning yesterday.

If you mean running the 2012 release of Safari 5 under WINE today, I think that using such an old browser is probably a bad plan.
A place should belong to whoever wills to take good care of it. We're all just passengers on the starship Earth.

Even Python is no longer the same language that I learned almost 20 years ago, but I'm happy of what its current stewards have made of it.
Can you say why? I'm struggling to understand your point.
Yeah I personally prefer to have the separation of buffer sets between tasks. Especially for something as transient as "write a git commit message" or do an interactive rebase, or write a quick note.
Don't use BTRFS! I still encounter crippling data loss and error messages in my dmesg log after giving it another shot for the last 10 months. I try btrfs with Arch Linux every few years because of its native transparent compression abilities. Enough is enough! Just say no. Friends don't let friends use btrfs.

bcachefs is the only hope left for normal Linux users but it has not landed yet. I am using ZFS for /home (with zstd compression) on LVM on LUKS and my root partition is ext4 on LVM on LUKS.

I considered VDO for LVM because it supports compression but VDO IS A JOKE! https://github.com/dm-vdo/vdo/issues/38

One example is coordinating Tesla Powerwalls (home battery backup): https://www.tesla.com/support/energy/virtual-power-plant/pge

> By becoming a part of the Tesla Virtual Power Plant (VPP) with PG&E, your Powerwall will be dispatched when the grid needs emergency support. Through the Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP), you will receive $2.00 for every additional kWh your Powerwall delivers during an event.

I should point out that I have a Powerwall, and I have no incentive from my electric utility to use it in any way. Overall, with rebates, it cost slightly more than a standby generator, and but it requires no maintenance, so it's "worth it" for me.

But, $2.00 back on a kwh is pretty nice, IMO.

Hi, I'm François, a full-stack TypeScript developer with 10 years of experience. I've built web apps for startups and public institutions as a freelancer, now looking for a permanent position in a tech company with human-centric values.

I favour efficiency over complexity, and I'm a strong advocate for free & open-source software (I maintain several NPM packages on GitHub).
I also believe that remote work is mutually beneficial, having worked remotely with international teams for the past 6 years.

I'd rather avoid sectors like crypto and finance (though I've shipped a few cryptographic products unrelated to finance),
and would prefer to work on products that have a net-zero carbon impact.

If that's the case, it would probably be enough to show O(N^2) algorithm, a O(N*logN) one, and maybe throw in Bogo sort for fun.

Even if it's just a learning exercise, if the kids are gonna have to study these algorithms in depth, surely you could pick something more useful as an example to show them, rather than the 10th NlogN sorting algorithm.

I'm a full stack software engineer with strong fundamentals in programming and web technologies. I enjoy thinking about infrastructure, networking, and data. I consider myself a generalist when it comes to tech stack—I'm proficient in multiple stacks, and I enjoy picking up new tech to solve a specific problem. My biggest strength is that I enjoy the process of solving hard problems.

Most recently, I worked with a remote team to develop a framework for testing microservice API integrations. If you want to know more, I authored a technical case study exploring the problem space and our solution: https://signet-framework.dev/case-study

I'm looking for a new opportunity—feel free to reach out if you think I may be a good fit for your team!

It's also worth noting that even with in-person interaction, when you've got a party of more than 4 people, even sitting at the same table together, the group typically splits into smaller groups with their own individual conversations.

Any in-person situation where a "group conversation" is meant to scale (ex: town hall meeting or class room), there is always a person in charge of leading and moderating the conversation (hand raising, mic queuing etc.).

It sounds hyperbolic but look at any poll on how deadly people thought COVID was compared to how deadly it actually was. This study [1] found people believing that, on average, about 16% of people infected (diagnosed or not) with COVID died. In reality, there were a measured total of around 700 million cases and 7 million deaths. And vast numbers of cases went undiagnosed and so would never have ended up being tracked. In any case, the real IFR was well less than 1%. Brain washing is an unnecessarily loaded and divisive term, but it is safe to say that the media (and politicians) actively went out of their way to make people believe things that were not true, and they succeeded.
