The first year I had brain fog - I'm sure my concentration just isn't the same as it was before COVID.
But you can tell when 3 hours have passed and decide upfront - as a matter of policy - where to draw a line.
Here's a super crude ELI5, feel free to correct me.

Signals crash course: Radio comms have a channel they need to fit into (let's say 1.1GHz - 1.2GHz as an example). This means that what you send over the air is basically a high frequency (~1.15GHz) sine wave. You encode data by slowly varying this sine wave (amplitude and/or frequency). The variations are going to be super slow, as fast changes in either amplitude or frequency will make your signal go outside the frequency limits. It's only the sine wave (aka the "carrier frequency") that's high frequency (1.15GHz in our case).

There are several ways to digitize this signal. You can do "direct RF sampling" - you need a very high sampling rate (2.4GHz+ due to Nyquist in our case) and just sample the high frequency signal.
You can multiply (in analog domain) the RF signal from the antenna by another frequency to keep all the slow changes but change the carrier frequency. This means that you don't need such a high lower sampling rate (you can get away with much less than GHz). If your new carrier frequency is just some low but non-zero frequency, that's super-heterodyne (IF). If it's zero, that's Zero-IF.
Ahah, i'm from the countryside, I know what you're talking about.

Weirdly, social contribution fraud and income tax fraud ('travail au noir') is present in really big cities (mostly because the cost of getting caught is quite low compared to the margin of construction business in Paris/Lyon), and in rural areas, because no one ever check (it's changing, slowly).

I think you're saying, how much other good content is out there that I'm missing out on because I only read English, and it's a good point.

However, English has become the (now ironically named) lingua franca of, at least, the more educated parts of the world, and many people who are most comfortable in their native languages are still often translating their best work into English in order to see it more widely read. This is often the case with scientific papers, for example.

Perhaps England's biggest gift to the world was its language.
Depends on the amount of rice obviously. Rice farming definitely has an impact on the environment in bulk. Now divide that by the amount of rice in a roll and we'll see how significant it is.

Abstracting code is always a dangerous gamble because they rely on invariants. In this case “the shape all resize the same way”.

When the invariants breaks, the abstraction collapses and the code can become much more convoluted than it was originally. I’ve seen it many times.

In my career I’ve seen many many bad code abstractions and very few good ones. As measured by how long before they break.

I’ve asked the engineers that came up with those if there was a trick to it, and the answer has always been “dude it’s the 10th time in my career I’m writing that stuff”.

Good abstractions come from domain experience. If you’re writing something new, don’t abstract it. If you feel smart about it, that’s a bad sign. You don’t feel smart when you’re writing something for the 10th time.

I think these engineering marvels whose FWHM (sorry I'm a bit rusty on what the right parameter for light gathering ability in this application) will be leaps ahead of current instrumentation is important. But have the science missions it will host (spectrographs etc.) received the same attention?

Why would they need those?

All the stuff that's natively 12 volts now could simply have been made natively 48 volts. You can make a 48-volt lightbulb as easily as a 12-volt lightbulb. You can make a 48-volt motor as easily as a 12-volt motor. Actually, motors for higher voltage tend to be smaller and lighter, which is why industry tends to go straight for 4160-VAC motors whenever 480VAC is inadequate.

What applications cannot be made to work at 48? I'm not aware of any. As I said in the comment to which you're replying, the telegraph and later the telephone network had been running similar DC systems since the 1850s or so at various voltages depending on the length of the telegraph line, with the telephone network taking over and 48 volts firmly entrenched by the 1910s. There was a huge manufacturing base producing 48-volt equipment, including motors and generators, indicator lamps, and a mindboggling array of switches, relays, stepping selectors, and their ilk, and all that was before WWI.

Furthermore, Charles Kettering who invented the automotive starter motor (and made it work at 6 volts), was around the same time making Delco-Light plants for rural electrification, which mostly ran at 32 volts DC. These supported a whole line of 32VDC appliances -- lights, vacuum cleaners, kitchen gadgets, irons, motors that could be attached to other machines in the shop. There was also a less common 110VDC version of the system but I can't find any contemporary literature discussing the differences, although I'm sure they would've quickly discovered that the 32V system was pretty docile while the 110V encouraged extreme care around open contacts.

As for why cars didn't use the higher voltages already in use and superior in many ways, my only guess is that a lead-acid battery with a high number of small cells must've been difficult or expensive to manufacture, compared to one with a small number of large cells. The Delco-Light plant used a large rack of 2-volt cells, whereas the starter motor used a single 3-cell packaged battery that fit easily under the hood. If they'd just figured out how to package more smaller cells together....

Similar problems in Spain with trains. Third event in the last 12 days [1,2,3]. After a 2023 with a chain of problems that normally don't occur

Sabotage would be my first candidate. Too much coincidences and deja-vues floating around.

[1] Nov 26 2023: "Traffic cut off between Atocha and Recoletos. 37 passengers evacuated after the convoy derailed"

[2] Dic 5 2023: "Another derailment on the Madrid Cercanías cuts the Recoletos tunnel and causes significant delays"

[3] Dic 8 2023: "Third departure from the track of a train at Atocha station"

Looks like something directly copied from the Catalonian independentist playbook. This is very rare on Madrid, but small incidences designed to cause delays and chaos were not uncommon near Barcelona a few years ago.

London events may, or may not fall in the same category, but... yep; same day. Suspicious.
Spoofing DNS records by abusing DHCP DNS dynamic updates
It seems that the at-home tests became less and less reliable for newer variants. I've had family and friends take tests repeatedly to finally get a positive one or never get a positive at home test, but then get a (PSCR?) test at the hospital that was positive.

No idea if tests were updated or variants changed again. There also was a variant were sampling from the throat was the way to go. It's a mess and clear information seems harder to come by than it should.
Parsing Command Line Arguments in Rust (Clap)
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or another "I like NAT because I can't be bothered to deploy a firewall rule" comment.
It's funny that you phrase this as such, because this exact kind of simple geometry is my go-to example for why this stuff is not as simple. Let's look at a square. Everyone knows a square is a rectangle, right? So of course a square should extend from a rectangle.

But math doesn't deal with mutability all that much. It's interested in the visible properties and constraints. A square is a rectangle because it meets all the constraints and has all the properties of a rectangle. But that is no longer true if the shapes are mutable. A rectangle might appropriately have `setWidth` and `setHeight` operations. A square cannot implement these operations and still obey Liskov substitution, without the ability to downgrade its type to a rectangle. In OOP you might correct this by making the square immutable and the `setWidth` and `setHeight` operations would return a rectangle instead of a square.

To bring this specifically to this use case: Yes, it's a defined mathematical operation to scale a shape such as a square on the x-axis. But, if you do, that square is now a rectangle. This may be important to the implementation, it may not. But it's certainly a relevant technical concern.

> Can you realistically have a vote to stop paying taxes or to smoke weed?

This is inevitably going to turn into a quibble about whether representation and/or the electoral college constitutes "true" democracy, so I'm going to head that off by amending my previous comment to be at the state level (rather than the federal level). There's several states that had ballot measures on tax increases and/or marijuana legalization, and failed, for example:

https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_Marijuana_Legalization,_Prop...

https://ballotpedia.org/Missouri_Proposition_C,_Medical_Mari...

https://ballotpedia.org/Nevada_Marijuana_Initiative,_Questio...

In those cases it would be strange to characterize the dissenters as not being "forced" into anything, even if it was a collective decision.
The article covers this, and says the information about the lockouts was not in the manufacturer provided manuals.
> But yeah, old societies were completely clueless and a bunch of idiots and surely we have learnt nothing from them.

Yes, they were, in comparison. They had neither predictive theoretical models, nor the tools to confirm and refine them - hell, for most history, they didn't even understand they need those things in the first place. Please appreciate that the period starting in late 19th century brought all the pieces together - the theoretical foundations, the observations, communications, precision manufacturing, the philosophy of science - they all added up to exponential growth across all scientific disciplines, and all occupations.

That's not to say we didn't learn anything from them. They did accumulate knowledge. But the sum of all knowledge humanity accumulated since beginning of recorded history is just a rounding error compared to what humanity accumulated in the last 100 years. That's the exponential growth at work.

I'm not inviting people to change the topic with my post. Hetzners actions are clearly because of sanctions against Russia. They say so in their email.

I'm not sure if you've ever used modern software. It's sometimes amazing just how unreliable it is. Web browsers crash every few weeks, windows is known for regularly needing a reboot, evince regularly crashes on me, you can't call 911 with some of cell phones, ... . This reminds me of https://danluu.com/everything-is-broken/ .

The clearest example of the difference of reliability is looking at public digital signage (on transit and elsewhere). If it's based on LED segments or something similarly basic (with old-school embedded software development) it will basically always work. New LCD Screens inside trains/busses and outside working with a modern software setup (using an OS, often with a pc architecture, quite often just displaying a website) are broken ~10%-20% of the time. Looking at (for example) busses, a large portion of the time the screen will either be blank, not display anything, old information or just wrong information. Going inside fast food restaurants with large LCDs for the menu, often something is broken, frozen or something else.

It is of course possible to make modern software more reliable. It's just much, much harder than making embedded software or PLC programming reliable. Software can be easily made more complex, but it's hard to make it non-complex or to wrap the complexity so it isn't an issue anymore. The ecosystem isn't set up for non-complexity.
My wife went through this for about a year (pre covid). She went from being extremely active to sleeping for 16 hours a day and still being exhausted. She got tested for just about everything, and all they could find were signs that her body had fought off a viral infection very recently. Eventually she recovered on her own.

I'll be honest, it was really scary. At various points they were checking for all sorts of cancers, even going so far as to do a bone marrow biopsy. Every time something was ruled out the specialist we were sent to would give up and send us to another specialist. We never got a real answer, other than the viral thing, and she eventually recovered on her own.

The FDA doesn't make the laws.
The big practical obstacle to this is that the things this flags people as potentially committing fraud based on look to be the same things an actual fraudster would manipulate in order to get payments they're not actually entitled to - stuff line income, living situation, kids etc. So the obvious route to not setting off fraud alarms would likely involve not committing fraud, or at least not the most obvious and profitable kinds.

Now I got you. I guess "keep children safe" here means two things.

1. Protecting them from grooming
2. Stopping CSAM from being spread via Facebook Messanger

It's evident that E2E encryption likely doesn't make much of a difference regarding the second point, given that many messengers have already implemented E2E encryption.

So, assuming the communication of the NCA was perfectly sincere, the loss here would be mostly the inability to prevent grooming properly. In this case, I think the question we should be asking ourselves is whether children need to be on these platforms at all. We're seeing so many issues linked to the phone use of children that regardless of protecting them from sexual abuse and exploitation, they should probably just be using phones less.
