Scala is a much different case, it has one of the most advanced type systems, many implicit scoping rules etc. Even a java change that might affect the scala codebase could result in a slow incremental build. Also, the build system may not have been as modular as it could.

In my experience, java annotations gets processed very fast.
“Rent something fun for vacations” is a hassle, isn’t it? It’s a step backwards from a gas car which can do everything an EV does, but with (essentially) infinite range.

> Your app that does random thing "X" does not need a subscription.

I don't think it's quite that straight forward. Software is undervalued - people are not prepared to pay a real sustainable price for it, while also expecting constant updates and maintance. Users who paid $5 for an app five years ago will expect an update for the new iOS to add widget support, for example.

Subscriptions better ensure incremental income for incremental updates.
While I may not agree with your NIMBY-ism comments, the overall picture is undeniably one where they are either trying to get concessions out of the UK government to stay, or trying to sell the concept that they are moving to the US. Presumably the execs see that they could be a lot more profitable in Massachusetts.
Hunh. I just discovered that when you cast the 32 bit 2's complement -273613110 as an IEEE 754-2008 binary32 float, you get -109554765609536775148540002304.0 which, when you look at it's in-memory representation as a series of octets on a little-endian machine, it's CAFEBOEF.

How to get to DEADBEEF is left as an exercise for the reader.

The next time I need a floating point constant, I'm picking -109554765609536775148540002304.0.
It gets a bit more complicated than that as DLLs symbols are namespaced, can be changed to lazy link on demand instead of process/thread start, can represent .NET code instead of native, can contain COM objects with dynamic configuration and lookup rules, have lifetime logic associated to processes/threads, can have a special main entry point and invoked via RunDll or regsvr32.

Ah, custom sections and loaders can also be defined.
I agree with you on the "my choice" part. But I also believe that things which remove your choice from the equation are worth extra trouble.

For casual food, I prefer to have people over. And I don't mind the preparation time and the hassle of cleaning up afterwards. Restaurants are very impersonal and don't have the same vibe as a home cooked meal.

Same with landscaping and other hobbies. The joy they bring you cannot be replaced by getting it done by someone else.

And I think the cost of having a truck versus a sedan is marginal, especially in the US where the roads are wider and parking spaces can accommodate trucks without any issues.
I feel we should bring back Georgian architecture [1]: on the one hand it is quite plain and so it fits well with modern sensibilities (and modern budgets that don't allow for a lot of faff, and the lack of skilled labor), but because of its strong emphasis on symmetry and a modest amount of ornament on doors, windows and railings, it looks vastly better than the lime rendered boxes of today. It also looks great with flat roofs, and flat roofs are here to stay -- why bother with nice roof tiles when you have to cover them with solar panels anyway.

It is your own failure if you beat the tool over yourself, for not having learnt it.
One reason to learn emacs basic key shortcuts is that these shortcuts are used by default everywhere in MacOS and everywhere in Linux i.e. bash, nano - they all have the same set of basic shortcuts.
My last boss was very keen on change control on any of our live systems; steps documented to the point where the cleaner could have run them. It seemed a bit excessive at the time, but there's something lovely about having copy/pasteable steps (and any notes) from when you had to do this a year ago.

As for forgetting deadlines are approaching, just set up automated checks for cert and domain expiration. I wasn't just checking our infrastructure but also any remote APIs/interconnects we were using too. There were a handful of times where I'd contact providers with 7 days warning just to confirm they were aware their certs were expiring; it was slightly terrifying how often they weren't.

You may be correct, I'm not sure. Apparently about half of humans ever have lived in the last 2000 years, and the death rate for those in the earlier half (before 2000 years ago) was overwhelming dominated by very high child mortality. I guess the answer probably depends on what proportion of those infant deaths were due to malaria.
That seems like a pretty subjective and personal opinion.

I love having a car. It gives me freedom and flexibility. It enables me to do the hobbies I like. It even gives me more career options and a broader range of housing options.
Stuck in Windows 3.x days? Most of that isn't needed for quite some time.

It's always been true that people who drive a lot every day are the low hanging fruit for EVs. EVs are more efficient when in motion, but most cars spend a lot of their time parked.

But in most places prices have continually dropped so the people who will save has expanded.

3. (22.75 + 24)/2 = 23.375

However subscriptions often set the expectation that you must consume incremental updates, when really I would often be happier to stay at a particular version. Often made worse by the implicit assumption that since you are paying something has to change, leading to changes without clear purpose.
I guess just depends on how you define edge case.

It is awkward that you have to pay to publish your scientific research, and then your readers have to pay to access it. Knowledge should be freely available to advance humanity. Possibly readers should pay directly to authors for their efforts. Yet we have greedy intermediaries (publishers) that effectively just suppress world's progress.

Projects like SciHub should thrive forever to combat this bullshit.
The examples of unornamented buildings in the article are actually highly ornamented, but just more subtly.

In the UK at least, many buildings have zero ornamentation, and are just plain brickwork, without even window ledges etc, and these look terrible to me.
It is weird how the moment I saw the words 'mini keyboard' in the title I knew the exact keyboard module they were using, because it's the one everyone uses.
I want to buy one as well, but there are few things which i want to know,

1. can I buy a used one? what about the battery life? I live in EU, my primary mode of transport is bike and public transport, buying a car is not a necessity but I would buy mostly for getting around. So I rather buy something bit cheaper.
2. How durable are batteries, been reading that getting a new one cost fortune.

WordPress still uses MD5 for database passwords to this very day with no immediate plans to change it.

That said, they apparently use eight passes of MD5 hashing along with salting, which they claim is a sufficiently secure combo.

WordPress's core and default themes are known to be fairly secure, so I'd like to believe they know what they're talking about, but if nothing else it feels icky.
> Still, these replies show how spoiled, individualistic and entitled people are.

There is no flaw or entitlement doing whatever makes you happy. And there's nothing individualistic about not liking public transport (if you have access to it).
> it is actually possible to invite your neighbours, your friends, your colleagues, ... to dinner more than once a year

Of course it's possible.

But that kind of thinking is often the problem. Plan based on what you'll actually do.
If profit can be extracted - capitalists always choose profit.
Charge time is way too long to a meager 80% charge, for more chargers alone to be a solve.

But yes, this will solve itself. Each year charging becomes faster, each year travel distance longer, it will auto solve.

One thing people overlook, is many places have blackouts! If tomorrow, every person switched to electric cars, it would be disaster.

So as people switch, we'll have to build more capacity into the grid. Not just production, but substations, and transfer lines too.

And this will happen.
> If we lowered the expiration time to say 3 days, with automatic renewal after 2 days, then any breakage on your side or downtime on let's encrypt's side would quickly escalate into https errors. That in turn would train users that those just happen, and make them ignore the big red scary page even when it's an actual attack. That sounds much worse than the small risk from a 30 day certificate.

That's already happened. I'm encountering LE errors on random websites so much that I don't care and automatically click through warnings. This is especially troublesome because my government keeps MITM me and I don't like it.
No problem, just charge your guests some carbon credits to offset for the meal you cooked for them. I even think there's an app there for you Dutch to easily request a transfer from friends and family.
I've read a few pages and browsed the rest, and it looks very interesting. I appreciate the personal touch and anecdotes.

Also wanted to say that I 100% agree with the "minimum viable code snippets" idea. Too often a manual or a readme shows a snippet e.g. without imports, so you can't just run it as is.

Thank you for sharing!

So you're saying that trashing a perfectly good bike and building another one, only to be ridden what? 10000 km at most a year, is a good deal for the environment? And consume the same amount of gas, so put out the same amount of CO2? My bike was an example where the general one-size-fits-all solution is actually counter-productive.

This is exactly the issue I'm talking about.

I'm all for preserving the environment, I really am. And I think that moving the immense majority of (sub-)urban commuters from ICE to EV is great and will make a difference. Or, even better: stop commuting if possible!

Isn't the mantra "reduce, reuse, recycle", "in that order"? How are we reducing or even reusing here?

But this whole "replace all ICE vehicles now" just screams of disguised "won't somebody think of the economy?"
With solar (and other renewables) the time of cheap power is only just getting started. It's literally free after building the infrastructure.

> "Right after the plane touched down, the pilot felt a sudden shock, and lost control to stay in the runway. A fire took place but the pilots didn't recognise it in the beginning and learned about it [through the] cabin attendant," the JAL spokesperson said.

> There were three pilots and 12 flight attendants on board when the incident took place. The aircraft's announcement system was damaged, leaving the crew to use megaphones and their own voices to shout instructions.

> "The first thing cabin attendants did [after they realised there were] passengers who recognised that their plane was on fire, was to make them stay calm and not to stand up, which could make the escape very difficult. The announcement system was unusable so these instructions were made without it."
Well, because the electric cars are not on par with gas ones.

You're also missing the point about how much it pollutes to make one car battery. There was a YT video a while back and you break even pollution wise at about 60-70k miles - basically your fancy electric car is pre-polluted. The only advantage over a gas car is the feel good sentiment.
I love being a novice at things though. I am fairly bad at a large variety of things, but I let myself explore those, or at least try and fail. When my son kept coming home with holes in his pants I bought a basic sewing kit, leveraged some old knowledge from home economic class, and just assumed the process of poorly fixing his pants was not magical and went for it. I have run into similar things countless times. Dropped a laptop, learned to fix a screen. Had a problem requiring CV, learned how to use some basic openCV to solve my problem. Got invited to play Pickleball, learned me some basic Pickleball.

I have always heard if you want to slow life down, experience new things. Maybe I am just not a 1-2 focus thing kind of guy, but I feel like life inherently pulls us in many places and with so much to learn and do it is OK to be a novice at many things too.
The discussions in Gitlab are still active:

Some friends of mine bought an electric car, thinking they could go on a road trip about 80 miles away with us (it was fully charged before they left).

They weren't calculating the weight of other things they brought in the car for the trip and would have ran out of charge in 30 minutes.

Full electric is skipping an important step. It's hybrid. Hybrid makes perfect sense. Boost gas powered cars and increase their milage. It allow us to build up the infrastructure to then convert to full electric.

Now, it's a shit-show where major car companies won't ever be interested in electric again because they are losing too much money.
PDF lives as a quasi standard "read-only" format in the collective mind. It is the format someone uses when he is reading an ebook, checking his invoices or a report. So widespread that the average user expects he can read it on his phone, browser, PC or even print it as is.
>How well do you think traditional college programs are keeping up with the fast-paced evolution of technology?

On the whole, technology is evolving a lot more slowly than it used to. For example, programming in 1980 was a lot more different to programming in 1990 than programming in 2024 is to programming in 2014. These days it's just about feasible to use a ten year old desktop as a dev machine, which would have been pretty much unthinkable in the 80s, 90s or 2000s. So I don't think college education is going to have some kind of new problem of keeping up with the evolution of technology. That problem has already peaked (in tech at least).
>I'm very close to returning to the high seas for content

I never left. I'm only paying for software and games. IP owned by big music and movie studios is free game since they're scummy with their licensing.
An array of slots that point to a name is actually a description of the ELF PLT (procedure lookup table), which is how it does dynamic relocation. The difference is the PLT usually points to the GOT (global offset table) not the name, because in a running program names are irrelevant and only addresses and offsets have meaning.

Resolving symbols through the PLT/GOT mechanism is much faster than resolving through string lookup at program startup (or library load). That's one of the main reasons why program startup and library loading is measurably faster on an ELF-based system than on a COFF-based system like Microsoft Windows.
When you say "big banks" you're actually crossing several regulatory domains. But as an example, here's the FINRA page on what they won't allow: https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/guidance/eligibility-re...

FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) is the public face of the USA's "Securities and Exchange Commission". They write the rulebook on who gets to work in the industry (stockbrokers, investment bankers, and the like).
I’m assuming you don’t live in the United States or have never had the reason to take frequent road trips.
A missing part of the "flawed" plan: it was relying on expectation that battery ranges would improve exponentially thanks to all the "breakthroughs" that were published on a regular basis to get views on tech news site.

Except, no, it still does not work as a drop-in replacement, so you have to change the whole society instead, which sucks because we're kinda on a deadline here, aren't we ?

To put it mildly "the engineers got their estimates wrong, the salespersons oversold, and now we have to do a massive redesign of the product to give you only 60% of what you used to have".

We have both, and I'd tend to pronounce "Wirth" similar to "wit" as far as the "i" goes. It's not always clear just from looking at the letter. But some words have explicit cues: There are "stretching consonants" like a-a, a-h, e-e, e-h, i-e, i-h, etc: Aal, Kahn, dehnen, dienen, sühnen, etc. And sometimes the following consonant gets doubled up to indicate a shorter pronunciation, like in "Bitte".
> that leads to more heat loss

With global warming, that is becoming more and more an advantage, rather than a defect!
Indeed. I noticed "Going further, as was a common convention in assembly to pass the return value in the A (for 8-bit, later AX for 16-bit, and EAX for 32-bit) register of the processor (because it is faster than by a value in memory),". That is not the reason. While on many architectures, except perhaps 6502, it was faster (before we had first level data caches as fast as registers), the reason was reentrancy.

And the Z80A in an Amstrad CPC6128 was clocked with 4MHz, not 3.5MHz like a Speccie. (sorry, couldn't resist)
When I joined my church choir in 2006, we had an unnecessarily elaborate sound system, including "rock star" solo mics for every individual chorister and a 24-channel mixer that nobody knew how to use.

By 2010 we'd updated it to a correctly sized system with a more modest mixer that nobody knew how to use, either.

Therefore, I took it upon myself to search by model number, print out a pair of copies of the comprehensive user manual, and then I tucked one of them snugly into the rack mount for reference by any current and future directors.
