This is false. The Nordics use way more heat pumps than the rest of Europe:

OP and OP’s OP never frame it about that. But you can still get the answer you are looking for from their answers.
It’s a limited resource about as useful as stack overflow, with nearly the same pitfalls. However, in the hands of a developer who would otherwise lack the confidence in making changes, it may be quite a bit worse.
JavaScript won the war of running the same language on both sides, because it runs in the browser, and you can run any language you want on the server. You can't practically run any language you want on the browser, only one, and it's JavaScript, so it's not possible for Java to run on both sides now. And in case you didn't notice, people run JavaScript on the server all the time, because they can share the same frameworks and libraries and data structures on both sides, like easy server side rendering. The cost of developing and deploying and running and maintaining two different languages and implementations of everything and incompatible frameworks on each side is just too high, and a huge waste of energy and time and human effort. Java usage is declining and stagnating, and JavaScript/TypeScript usage is rising rapidly. And JavaScript's and TypeScript's future is not controlled by Larry Ellison.

>Top Programming Language Trends in 2023

>Java Won’t Be as Popular as It Was

>In a similar vein, Java — a language central to the emergence of the software industry as we know it today — increasingly appears to be past its prime.

>Java slipped out of the top spot on the TIOBE index — a position it had held for nearly two decades — a couple of years ago. As of 2023, there's every indication that Java won’t recover the top spot.

>Although Java will likely remain widespread over the coming year, it's hard to imagine it returning to its former stature as one of the most popular languages. On the contrary, we suspect Java will continue to decline in popularity over the coming year and beyond.

>50+ JavaScript Statistics For 2023 Trends & Facts

>Microsoft introduced TypeScript in 2012 as an extension of JavaScript, incorporating optional typing. This adaptation retained the syntax and essence of JavaScript while implementing supplementary features essential for developers. The contrast between JavaScript and TypeScript is noteworthy, as the latter presents heightened productivity and simplified maintenance for expanding codebases.

>For this reason, TypeScript transcends being merely a fleeting JavaScript trend; it has evolved into an established language. The most recent survey from 2022 indicates that JavaScript stands as the most utilized programming language, boasting a considerable 78% adoption rate among developers. This survey stems from the State of JS Survey.
Installation is way too expensive and potentially disruptive.
I think most founders (understandably) don't know how the capital marketplace works, and so they create these codebooks for translating the things VCs say into a mental framework that makes sense to them. I don't know what the answer is, other than simply building the right company at the right time. There are people who are very good at navigating the fundraising space, but that usually comes from having expertise and/or connections prior to founding a company. Once you are in the middle of trying to start a company, it's a little late. Your best bet is to find a way to demonstrate that you're on to something big, then find people who can see that she vouch for it.
Indian English has to be one of the easiest accent/dialect to understand. The way we speak isn't much different than how a Spanish, French or Italian would speak English, a bit slowly and trying to emphasize each consonant as we want to get it right.
>Your stance is something that people take when they don't understand the Hard Problem of consciousness.

Do you also think the 30% of philosophers who also have this stance simply don't understand it? The only one calling anyone a moron here is you, and I don't think anyone involved in this discussion actually is. It's a cheap trick to discredit an opinion you disagree with.
Anyone try this and can compare it to Cody by sourcegraph? Keen to start using one of these tools but not sure which is best.
Actually, all French speakers for a very long time have mocked other accents, especially from France, therefore they have a kind of specialty of mocking themselves. Parisian have always mocked regional accents, every region was mocking other regional accents, and even accents from two cities 50 km apart are mocked from both sides. Other accents are just mocked the same as french people make fun of other french people regional accents.
I would say that the accent mocking in France is less about racism than about the structure of french society, which is extremely centralized historically, and regions have always been very defensive about their specificities, like the local dialects, languages and the accent is part of that. Some regional languages were even forbidden in some places not so long ago.
Racism in France being looked by the accent prism is a foreign worlview with a very low relevance level. It avoids the real and problematic issues of racism that exists.
But indeed there is a link: racism flourishes when you do not see or hear people different from yourself. This can happen everywhere and mocking other accents is just using one parameter to insulate your own social group from the rest of the world and diminish/blame/mock the others. If you live in a country where regional accents are not a thing, you will find another parameter and anyone can say through the prism of this local parameter that racism is worse in this country compared to another. My point here is that racism can be everywhere, and has first to be fought on its causes, because symptoms can be very different from places to places and fighting them might help, but not solve.

sourcing isn't about the presence or not of a [3] next to your wild claims

it's about having engaged with work other people have done on the subject. Like, actually read and understood other people's ideas. You can really tell the difference between someone who just googled things to support whatever they wanted to say vs someone who is straight out the gate with "there are three prevailing schools of thought on this issue; the first, characterized by xyz, posits that abc" and so on
Makes sense. In our new neighborhood in North America every single house got a heat pump by default. If housing starts drop that would significant affect sales.
And trying to communicate clearly English to someone considerably more fluent in a Latin-derived language can even be an exercise in picking $10 and $50 words over the standard $5 ones because so much of our fancy vocabulary has common Latin roots
Why don't you try them and figure out which is best? Someone'll have to do it...
Of course there is no single tree of life - the roots and branches depend on a particular set of genetic properties being measured; pick a different set, you'll get a different tree.

Is there a tool somewhere that lets you explore the directed graph of life?

(I'd say DAG of life, but I'm not sure if you can have a useful representation here without cycles.)
In the UK it's more pronounced. I pay £0.28/kWh for electricity and £0.069/kWh for gas, so as I understand it installing a heat pump will end up increasing my energy bills unless its coefficient of performance is over 4.
Gun ownership is generally illegal in Japan. It was probably just a trauma response.
Is your family a real priority? Genuinely asking. If so it should be a little bit easier to adapt the work to the family and not the reverse. This is the first step. I understand that your question is oriented more to your family than yours.

Think about quality time with your family. Quality time is not just time together. Weekends are a great opportunity for that and some weekdays could include special moments that are not just a copy and paste of the day before.

Regarding you, if you are relatively mentally healthy ;-) there should be a physical exercise and diet that helps you to start removing your mind focus on work. There are many other disciplines but it is important to remember that "If You Encounter the Buddha, Kill Him!" [1].

Regarding specifically work, probably you should negotiate stuff in favor of you. If you need help a good coach could be enough rather than a psychologist.

YMMV.

>In Northern Europe heatpumps are simply not effective (yet).

That's not what I've heard of even air, but to be clear, you are talking air source right? I'm near the Canadian border in northern New England and am getting ready at work to have another vertical ground source (geothermal) heat pump put in, and those are very effective year round. Well loop is around 515' (~155m), which is on the longer side but not a big deal by well drilling standards (which is why lots of well drilling companies have been expanding into heat pumps in the last 5 years and availability has sky rocketed). The price is definitely much higher than air source for now, maybe always will carry some premium, but the major government incentives here help significantly and of course the reliability is high. There are a few minor other bonuses as well I guess, like aesthetically speaking once done there can be nothing to near nothing visible outside.

There are a few other strategies (horizontal ground, water source, semi-open) that some are looking at too but around here simple vertical closed looks likely to end up as the majority due to economies of scale, it can be done anywhere vs needing more/special land, and like I said leverages an existing industry. It's neat to see coming along, so perhaps longer term that'll offer an option in Northern Europe too.
That's only one half of it though, the other interesting part is the jmp (instead of call) to hand over control to a subroutine without pushing a new return address to the stack (since there's no code after the function call, and the calling function doesn't require its own stack frame).
Now run that line through it again.
At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $2132, down 3.95% in the last 24 hours.

Optimism over the anticipated approval of spot Bitcoin ETF applications in the U.S. market has propelled Bitcoin to the forefront of the larger market rise over the last two months.

However, there was a noticeable slowdown in crypto trading activity on the final non-holiday weekend of the year, which might indicate that the market has reached its top for 2023 and will likely stay flat until 2024.
What makes Indian English stand out is the use of a syllable-timed pronunciation for a language that is usually stress-timed.

Jeez, aren't you seeing what everyone writes here?

Learning is not being "illiterate". It means trying to become literate and shows intention. Being impolite in response to use of such non-perfect use of language is rude at least and that's what everyone says here.

... and my anectodital experience:

My wife was learning French for 4+ years, probably in not hightest quality high school in Poland - no good practice unfortunately, but good intentions.

Exhibit 1.

Husband of my sister in law when She tried to be polite and start friendly chat "her-broken-French". Response: don't talk to me, better switch to English ...

(this guy is authistic anyway, so let's drop this sample)

Exhibit 2
Month in France travelling by train. It was much more easier for me to find someone speaking English (my English wasn't good back then too), than for her to find someone to speak with her French. I mean typical dialogs: train station, tickets, tourist info or grocery.

She gave up after week and we switched to me managing dialogs with French people in English.

Yes, her French was probably not too good or even bad, but how for Christs sake was she supposed to improve it? I guess practice is agreed to be best way to do it?

Can't the German supreme court reopen cases?

The Swedish Supreme Court can reopen cases when there are new evidence, through there are some restrictions. The new evidence/circumstances need to be significant enough that if it was already known during the first trial, then the outcome would most likely been different. There also need to be a good and valid reason why the new evidence was not presented during the first trial.

New DNA technology has been the cause for such trials. Last year a person was found guilty of murder after 26 years, after being acquitted from a lack of evidence.
Air France-KLM leaked estimated > 500M travel data via 6-char link codes (Dutch)
Researcher of the leak. I got a question from NOS to test the security of a 6-length short code link (https://www.klm.nl/s/xxxxxx) used in text messages. I've tested two ranges (FAbxxx and KLmxxx), which gave a consistent 1% hit ratio of customer data (57% Air France, 43% KLM), NOS tested a smaller size random set (and got about 0.5%), 62^6*0.01=568 million. It was probably base64url (we now know - was also used, not yet got a _ confirmation).

I can't recommend anything, I just think that the language itself is not suitable for rap (long words, etc) and you have to butcher the language to make it usable for the genre. There is a reason why Detsl (the first successful Russian rapper) switched to English in his latest tracks.
A charitable reading of the parent comment is to focus on "converting". The Nordics tend to have their buildings designed for heat pumps from the start, or converted (and fixed up) a long time ago.

I'm in a house in Germany and got it converted from gas to heat pump a couple of years ago. It took some adaptations to make that work, but on the flip side we obviously blasted lots of heat into the atmosphere before, which we're reigning in now (still work in progress).

So yeah, conversions of houses not built to "heat pump spec" has follow-on efforts and costs that the heat pump hype didn't advertise. I had a rough idea what to expect and that it'll take a while to sort out everything, but if you went into the conversion with the idea that you're just replacing one part with another, you're in for disappointment.
That's true if you're passing messages between identical models. There's a question to ask as to whether different models trained for different tasks would be better than single, multipurpose models though. My gut feel is that eventually multipurpose models will win because you don't have the embedded cost of relearning what syntactic structure is, but for a given training time and number of weights it's not clear whether that's true today.
What’s your vision on the replaceability of the human programmer in the next, say, 10 years?
This is also a problem for professional drivers (truck, taxi, etc.) - as in some countries you will automatically lose your license if you seek help for alcoholism.

I'm sorry I'm not able to help with a fix. That's down to my lack of expertise in the specifics of iOS builds.

I get the frustration, I really do. It makes sense that different Google technologies should work with each other like in this case, but I can see why this sort of thing slips through the cracks when the teams are so far removed from each other.

Regarding Bazel's ability to do this, I can't say for sure, but I see a common pattern in Bazel usage outside of Google where users expect it to work at a higher level than it does. At a fundamental level if you can do it on the command line by running commands and moving files around, then Bazel can do it (hermetically, reproducibly, etc). Big Bazel deployments build up a lot of build definitions that handle all these things and abstract away the details, and these may be what's missing.

Anecdotally, I work on a very large Android app, and it's all built with Bazel rules that are many layers deep of customisation. At the bottom somewhere is a `java_binary` rule or something like that from Bazel itself, but there's a lot of customisation to make it work for us. It sounds like this would be necessary to get Firebase working. Ultimately though if Xcode can build it, Bazel can script it.

As for Cocoapods/SPM etc, the reason I said these were at odds with the Bazel process is because Bazel is designed for a world without package managers where you just have all the code in your monorepo with the appropriate BUILD files, because this is how Google works. It sounds like there is tooling to work around this and get the code into the Bazel cache, but it's unlikely that automatically generating BUILD files is always going to get it right.
And in the UK the regulation that bans new gas boilers doesn't come in until 2025. Despite all the new homes being built in the UK, most are still being built with gas central heating.
The level in the US is a written test on a subset of the rules, usually 6 months of mentored driving (need something like 50 hours with another licensed adult in the car), and a test that involves basically driving around the block and parallel parking. It sounds like a joke but it's true. Even most optional courses like driver's education generally don't put you on a skid pad or anything like you mention. I assume it's largely due to liability and lawyers - ironically they consider that type of training to be too dangerous even though you'll encounter more dangerous situations on the road and be unprepared for them.

The best thing I have found for this type of training is autocross (tire rack presents a special defensive driver course related to some autoX clubs too). Then snow/skid pad it's just finding a deserted parking lot cover in snow and ice for some low-speed recovery practice.

SMTP Smuggling – Spoofing Emails Worldwide
One interesting detail in the Code As Policies paper from last year was that they generate code from the given API, then recursively get the LLM to implement any functions from what it generates that don't already exist. I thought that was quite neat.

I've started seeing those sort of hallucinated API calls as a signal for something that ought to exist; if it's predictable enough for an LLM to think it might, then maybe it should, to make it easier for humans too?
Ask HN: Future of Software Testing
Millions of software engineers write code everyday. They (or separate test team) spend many hours to test the changes. At times, bugs are identified many days later triggering code change and retesting. Non-trivial amount of time goes into this.

There are ofcourse solutions at different levels of maturity:

1. Manual testing
2. Writing automated tests (TDD or post coding)
3. Record and replay tests or production-like traffic
4. Some sort of AI-driven testing

How does future of software testing look like?

What are the established or evolving processes, tools, researches in this area?
How often do you have a Product Manager who is an expert in regulatory/compliance laws and has contacts with government agencies?

Maybe not an expert, but literally every project I've been involved with where those things are relevant, the PM knew more than most of us, knew who to talk to, and was responsible to make sure we did the right thing. It is pretty much what half the role was about. They were often pretty senior people with long experience working in a relevant field.

I have personally removed exceptions (to be fair, it was only few) from an embedded application and introduced the -fno-exceptions flag. The binary size was reduced by ~20%, which can be important if you are doing SW updates to space and have a link budget... Also, the reduced code size is more cache friendly on a system with rather limited cache memories.
