> Hah! If you are gonna pull back the date, let's pull them back all the way to when both nations existed in 1776. How many african and pacific nations did France topple? Add that to the count and the US is dramatically less.

My point was exactly that you'll get vastly different results depending on what range of time you choose. That being said I'm still not sure if the French would take the lead on that one, which obviously would be quite a project to investigate...

> Reality doesn't change because you refuse to accept it.

Na of course not, and a spade will be a spade, and backstabbing backstabbing, no matter how much you try to snake yourself out of it.

> It is not just germany and russia your uncle sam protected you from.

The US supported the Soviet union militarily enabling them to put half of Europe under communist dictatorship.

> It's so weird to me that not even a century ago europeans were chopping off limbs, murdering and mutilating for profit all over the world and now you feel superior to americans because spies interfere in those same places?

No because the CIA are torturing people and are paying people to rape, murder and torture for fun and profit, I don't think there really is anyone who can claim the moral highground.

That doesn't mean that I won't say that it's immoral and wrong for these countries to do this, and perhaps more importantly shortsighted and countraproductive...

> ... and the EU countries had no complaints with the US doing that then.

People in Europe complained a lot!

> Relatively speaking, post-ww2 has been the most peaceful time in human history.
Again as with the example above that really really depends on how you measure it.

> And for Europe outside of slavic europe I can't even think of one war
Yeah so you seem to have a bit of a tendency to say that there's peace everywhere and everywhere apart from places and times that you omit from the list more or less arbitrarily.

It's like saying that the period 1939-1949 was really peaceful in Sweden and Switzerland.

> Maybe the one with UK and argentina counts?

In that case overseas French territories would make it seem way way less peaceful.

You could say Asahi Linux was very conservative about this because they disabled speakers altogether until now.

It’s ok to be quite loud for any one peak for a short amount of time (let’s say 50dB for 10ms) but for indefinite time periods much less is ok (let’s say 30dB but these are totally made up numbers). There are also limits to how much energy you can put into the speaker before it overheats. There also may be some frequencies with different limits (this is total speculation on my part). So the DSP models the behavior of the speakers and tweaks the input to prevent them from overheating (in my understanding). Normally you won’t notice this unless you are trying to play a single tone at max volume. Without this advanced DSP, you would have to just limit the output to 30dB which in practice means high volume parts of your audio are clipped or you limit to a very low volume to have enough headroom to play the louder components of your audio. Considering how loud and good modern macbooks, smartphones and smart speakers sound compared to similar sized speakers from even 10 years ago I think the effect is pretty great.

It really depends on the size and shape of the object. The 25kg guideline includes all manner of things like big fridges etc.

Most people can at least pick up 80kg + without injury, we can hoist each other up by the waist for example (the elderly and fat excluded).

What you want to do is make the battery swap use optimal movement patterns. Few people are lifting 50+ kg at a weird angle or above their head for example.
Why?

The web has moved far beyond a document sharing platform. It’s the largest, easiest (for users,) and most compatible software development and publishing platform ever. By far.

I make my vias large enough to accept a 30AWG wire (15 mil hole). Slip in a precut/stripped wire, tack it with solder, trim to length, and you have an instant testpoint in a usually optimal location near the point of interest. Advantages are that you can't accidentally rip a pad off the board, it's accessible from both sides, and minimal board area is consumed.

i don't care about colonizing mars beyond it being the closest planet to do so. The earth isn't going to be habitable sometime in the next billion years as the sun gets hotter and then turns into a red giant. We (or life's other descendents) have to go somewhere.

(the earth itself might also become less habitable all by itself over time, but i don't know enough about that)

It's arguably never been necessary to have humans in space (EDIT: for military purposes). The USAF's Manned Orbiting Laboratory program was cancelled back in the late sixties because even then, reconnaissance satellites worked well enough that the added complexity and cost of a crewed station wasn't worth it.

For an IPA-to-sound converter, if the chosen voice doesn't have the sound that the user is asking it to render, it should: either throw an error, find an English speaker that can, or synthesise the sound altogether.

Giving you flat-out the wrong sound (not an accented rendition) should not be default behavior. There could be an option for rendering "how would an american approximate/recreate this sound after I sounded it out to them", but that's a different tool and not an IPA-to-sound converter.
The reality in Ireland is still that Ireland is a wealthy, stable, safe, educated liberal democracy, which is not at all what it was when I was young. Although suffering from the same housing-, cost-of-living-, refugee-, and public-service-crises as most other Western nations, its path has been extremely successful and beneficial to its citizens.

I think you might just be too young and too insulated to see how successful the policies have been.
> I would respectfully suggest that the author is misusing CI. If you have trouble running your tests locally, you have a problem.

I would respectfully suggest that you misread the author. The issue isn't running tests locally, it's running the CI config locally.

I experienced the same problem with gitlab CI years ago, where, basically, you can lint the file and not much more. Past that, you need to run it through your CI and debug if you get slightly different results compared to running a script locally.

Battery swap stations don't take random batteries of unknown provenance -- they only take known batteries with known, tracked histories from one or more manufacturers who have set up to participate, and they're not going to take damaged ones.

> by nature of the service it is a very lucrative vulnerability to exploit

I'm having a hard time imagining what the lucrative vulnerability is here?

The only thing I can imagine is for someone to take a new battery, swap its insides with a 10-year-old or otherwise damaged battery and put that into circulation, so that they now have a new battery almost for free.

But there are so many safeguards you can implement against that -- even if you manage to bypass all manner of physical anti-tampering and cryptographically signed hardware attestation, the swap is going to be detected during the next charging cycle (you can't fake receiving electricity the way fraudulent 32 MB flash drives can fake having 128 GB written to them), and you can go arrest the culprits for stolen goods and/or fraud and/or whatever.

I'm having an extremely difficult time seeing any viable "lucrative" criminal enterprise here at all. Sure, someone can tamper with or damage a battery the same way they could with a gas grill propane canister, but there's no money to be made in that.
How Did District 9's VFX Look So Good? [video]
It's a war, that is the driver? Is that the question? Why in a war would you want to hurt the opponent?

Collapsing the opponents power grid is a way to reduce the opponents ability to respond, to subdue them. Then once subdued and occupied, then re-build it.

I think you would find there is always a balancing act in 'how much to destroy' in order to win, and also limit 'how hard will it be to rebuild once we've won'. But collapse is always part of it, because you are trying to win by hurting the other country.

Longtermism is a cancer.
The money that you spent fighting could have been spent on other activities that also tend towards infinity. At higher rates. Without a huge initial setback.

Of course, you only control your own choices not your competitors/opponents' choices, so game theory makes the outcome of "everyone chooses peace" nontrivial to achieve.

Clean Code by Robert Martin is probably a good bet, haven't read it yet but I have read Clean Craftsmanship and that book was incredible.
Exactly. There might be some traces of human passage dating 10000 years ago. But basically what we have is: surface-ish level construction, then a bunch of stones they interpret as old masonry but that is more likely natural, with deeper possible human traces as organic material, such as even a hunter gatherer that made a fire here one night. They use that to conclude to a paleolithic construction site.

Kinda like going to a European church, finding a bunch of stones and gravel under for 30m. Finding one silex around the same depth ans thus concluding European paleolithic people 10-20000 years ago were building complex edifices.

Your takeaway from that video is completely different than mine. If anything it shows me how incredibly rare and precious this moment in time is and how much had to happen before multi-cellular life could begin to evolve and how long after that it took to get to intelligent life.

That means that there may not be anything to 'come after us' depending how much of a mess we make, and any complacency regarding all this is dangerous. We stand to lose a lot, possibly everything and there may simply not be an 'after' for intelligent life on Earth. Life will go on, but not in a form that will ever even be able to contemplate colonizing Mars, let alone to act on it.

if you actually skip past the pathos and think about it, this is actually just bullshit. you can't make software illegal, that's like making authoring a book illegal. you're just wasting tax money of actual hard working, non-losers, who are a rapidly diminishing group. they will literally go do some other loser shit not even one second after the app is banned, ad infinitum. this is also an example of where regulation is not needed because you can (afaik) provably securely implement gambling on cryptocurrencies (*ducks*). eventually, people will only be using provably fair gambling software (although it's a bit slow to get there because crypto is still in the webshit phase and for instance they will sacrifice actual decentralization to use the web browser). a completely pointless result of cryptocurrencies but
The case is between the Irish government and the EU. Ireland made a a tax deal with Apple. Ireland also made a no corporate subsidy deal with the EU.

Nothing to stop a subreddit running a bot to enforce minimum post length and detect obvious attempts at padding to bypass it, I guess? The effects of the UI are still a problem though as you say.

> Ireland is doing well as a country in GDP terms (ignoring debt) but the people in the mid and lower tiers don't necessarily do well at all.

Compared to what? Certainly not the Ireland of 25 years ago.

> It's increasingly classist and it has bad and inefficient healthcare, lack of police, excessive bureocracy and lack of political change due to an entrenched political class.

The only country in the EU where wealth inequality is decreasing, which has a struggling healthcare system but world-class outcomes, once of the least bureaucratic countries in the world, and which has a stable democracy which is about to undergo a completely peaceful transfer of power when Sinn Féin comes into power following the next election.

I can only say that if you believe what you've written about Ireland, you simply don't have the perspective to comment on this.
You're welcome. ;-) Likewise to software engineers who leave "hooks" to internal functionality, so we hardware folks can create automated tests.

I think there are real benefits to having people in space for scientific purposes but not really for military ones. Plus a lot of human space travel is preparing for an eventuality that we will have a moon or mars base which will need people to run it.
Here to bust your assumptions. I skew backend but love CSS, and am one of the better UX engineers I know of. I also dislike javascript a lot, and find that the htmx approach cuts a significant amount of complexity out of your app (e.g. your views can talk directly to your daos.)
From the paper [1]:

> For example, this study demonstrates that the geophysical layers do not necessarily align with the lithological stratigraphy as depicted from borehole data. The discrepancies highlight the need for caution when interpreting the results and emphasize the importance of considering multiple factors and approaches in the analysis.

Which makes sense, since it's a jungle on a volcanically active island. That's a perfect recipe for a very active and varied geology, the kind that would bring up ancient carbon. The errors are likely correlated.

I think it's all just a bunch of wishful thinking - the interpretations they make are very tenuous.

War was profitable back when you'd use horses, swords, bows and arrows to conquer more fertile arable land and slave labor, as that was the most value back then.

In the industrial era, the value is the profitable industry, which you just blew up with bombs to win the war, or had blown up loosing the war.

Either way, you spent an insane amount of money going to war offensively or defensively, not winning anything of value other than some barren land which is now worthless, and now you're also broke from the debt you took to fight an industrial war.

Advanced industry means wars are less likely to be profitable, not that they'll never occur.

They don't care about safety they care about lock in to their ecosystem. I'm not into ANY of these ecosystems. I don't want MSFT installing Edge ever, or OneDrive, or having Phone sync software on my PC that links my contacts to Office/Outlook Online, or have Bing web search forced into my search bar or Google for that matter, ALL to track you and push ads on you from the people they get their money from.

And don't even get me started on cars tracking everything you do. In many cases you don't have a choice. I want a smartphone that doesn't lock me into all these ecosystems. I want a car that lets me turn off all tracking, bluetooth sensors to monitor my tire pressure, etc.

The reality is people are stupid. They couldn't manage using a computer safely so the industry gave them a phone and sold them on safety. The fact that something like 80% of people are getting their news on a phone and not a computer should tell people they are trapped in a bubble that controls what they see, know and think. What good is having a choice if you don't know you have a choice? They simply want consumers.
Yes, there is a sliding scale of complexity and capital costs on products that could be rapidly switched to local production. -> Hence the move to bring semi-conductors back to home soil. Because if there was a collapse of some kind, these would be very difficult to ramp up from scratch during a crisis. So you have to have some infrastructure already in place, some minimum.

I'm not in that industry, but if I was, I bet you could do something shady. Perhaps people who buy expensive skins have an increased chance of "luck" within the game. Critical hits may be more likely, more high quality gear drops. It's possible there isn't a clear line between gambling and fashion. At least, that's if the industry is unscrupulous, and I generally assume that describes most companies.
Thanks, that updates me a bit more towards that hypothesis. I tried to search once for whether unflavored vaping was better than flavored for quitting smoking, but didn't find anything relevant at least back then.
I would agree - the example of an an attribute of `_` and then some obscure DSL statement as a value looks super weird and confusing.

I would rather there was just an explicit `onclick` (or some other event) in there with a vanilla JavaScript statement so I know what is happening.
The point is to stay on topic. In what way do you believe sum types solve the problem being discussed?
