There is a vendor in Auburn CA, which is actually a thrift shop for Kids Stuff (its an upscale area - so hand-me-down stuff from higher income, single kids)....

However, in the back they have a little shop for Raw Milk Single Cow.

So you can subscribe and its super limited quantity, but they provide whole raw milk sourced from a single cow.

Super amazing - and the plug that forms on the top is amazing creme.

-

Another option is to make friends with whomever you can to learn where high-end products are sourced at MIchelin restaurants, I have someone very close to me who was at french laundry for years and their vendors (aside from certain veggies grown in the garden across the street) were from very particular vendors - such as their lamb which comes only from one specific farm.

The point being that you should find out who high-end restaurants source from and seek them out directly.

(most of the crab sold in San Francisco restaurants was sold by Royal Hawaiian Seafood, but the public could only purchase from them for one hour on a tuesday between 12pm and 1pm - but you get the same live crab that SF charges $65+ for, for $5...)

> I believe there are and will be more ARM designs

Just out of curiosity, what does ARM designs mean here?

- New distinct processor cores available?

- New distinct parts I can buy at DigiKey and through other channels that include an ARM core?

- New distinct chips taped out using an ARM core, including vendor specific chips?

The latter is where I expect RISC-V to surge first. Probably not passing ARM in 2024, but threatening to do so. It's pretty easy to get rid of a license fee at this point unless you need extreme performance or are really picky about tooling.

ARM may not win on the first measure, either, but that's largely the vagaries of how roadmap packs into a calendar year.

There's also the whole question of whether Cortex-M counts as ARM anymore, given that modern large ARMs no longer run the Thumb instruction set (and Cortex-M only runs Thumb).
Can WebGL run SPIR-V? That was my main issue
The current crop of Apple fanboys apologist has left all logics and facts out of the door, so I don't expect telling them something true will have any effect.

For an individual interested in computational biology, or George church's course is excellent.

From the description: "This course will assess the relationships among sequence, structure, and function in complex biological networks as well as progress in realistic modeling of quantitative, comprehensive, functional genomics analyses. Exercises will include algorithmic, statistical, database, and simulation approaches and practical applications to medicine, biotechnology, drug discovery, and genetic engineering."

I have a different theory which is just as plausible.

These teen mental problems are a result in a shift in attitudes in America - the attitude that everyone is a victim, achievement is bad, one should get everything for free rather than the old idea that kids should work for their goodies, the mounds of presents kids get for Christmas, participation awards, everyone gets an A, parental supervision of kids play even into mid teens, testing is bad for kids' self-esteem, kids are too fragile for testing, and so on.

I.e. the old virtues of industriousness, thrift, personal responsibility, etc., have all but disappeared.

For example, in my day (when people walked uphill to school both ways) kids routinely got jobs as soon as they turned 16. Today, many peoples' first jobs are not until they graduate from college. That's a massive change.

Kids need to learn how to deal with adversity as they grow up. Parents these days are able to remove all adversity from kids' lives, up until the mid-teens. Then, parents cannot do that anymore, and the kids have not developed coping skills for adversity. No coping skills, parents can no longer fix it for them, leads to mental health crisis.

No, I do not agree with your insinuation and accusation. They did improve on the concept, I already mentioned that. Improving on and inventing something are two completely different things though. Lilienthal himself did not come up with the idea either, there were others dreaming of flying machines before him and some were even build, he's just the first person to have flown in one. That's why I said "with most great inventions, there usually isn't a single person who came up with them."

The Wright Brothers' biggest contribution to flight was in terms of aerodynamics and steering the glider. Adding the engine was arguably the easiest part, but you first had to come up with a glider design giving you enough lift. Even today most people wouldn't be able to do that on their own. Saying the Wright Brothers didn't invent the plane does not take away from those contributions. It simply corrects misinformation and puts them back into a long line of scientists and inventors who all worked on creating what we today know as airplanes.
"It depends".

It seems the "mainstream" (if you want to call the larger demographics that) are beginning to understand source-available, open source, free open source, and free libre open source. Licenses are interesting, and it's worth digging into what kind of "open" source something appears to be rather than assuming.

I’m in my mid-40s and am not an alcoholic. But I am quite shy. A drink or two in a social setting can absolutely help me open up and engage with others and enjoy myself. And having good social interactions improves my mental health.

At one shop, our load tests targeted 300,000 POST requests per second with a relatively small number of load balanced servers.

I see this as being the Corolla to Turris's Unimog. The Omnia is a sliders-to-the-right dreambox with every possible interface, it has a freakin' SFP slot, three miniPCIe slots, I mean, wow.

As a result, it's capable of 99% of jobs, but it's only the best choice for about 2% of them. For most things, the Omnia is tremendous overkill and nowhere near cost effective. Therefore it suffers low sales volume, and the price never comes down.

This new box might only be capable of 75% of jobs, but it should be a good cost-effective choice for quite a lot of them. It still won't be the cheapest, but it'll be reasonable, and they should sell truckloads of them.
1. White hat submits a "Notice of Vulnerability Testing" document to target company (copy also sent to government body) including their information, what systems will be tested, and in what time window
2. Company is required to acknowledge the notice within X hours and grant permission or respond with a reason that the test cannot take place
3. White hat performs testing according to the plan
4. White hat discloses any findings to the company (keeping government body in the loop)
5. Company patches systems and may reward white hat at their discretion
6. Government body determines if fines should be applied and may also reward white hat at their discretion

Something like that. The white hat would have legal immunity as long as they submit the document, stick to the plan, and don't cause damage.
From my reading, the trespass charges didn't stick for whatever reason, the best they could do was fine him. Surprised he's not being deported however, I think he was technically working illegally.

That's only because teetotalers never really went away. Even after the repeal of Prohibition, they still existed and eventually morphed into MADD. In Europe drinking ages are pretty relaxed. France was serving wine to school children.

If you just lifted the box, it might have the book included. Traditionally, they're sold together, though I've seen the book sold on its own.
In their chosen example, and many others that involves external sources, it's not really "your" data, though. You have no control over the structure, and you then have the choice of deciding whether you want to throw away what you can't shoehorn into your current schema, or store it and transform it as best you can and be prepared to re-transform it as your system evolves.

Really, they're not avoiding modelling the data. They're modelling it in their "P-stores" whether they want to admit that's just another data model or not. It's clearly not data models they object to, but typical database DDL coupled with a desired to not throw away data that doesn't conform right now. Depending on your application domain, not throwing away data that doesn't conform to your current data model can be good or bad, but it's not an accident that they picked Twitter/Mastodon where it's easy to justify not rejecting non-conforming documents.

I agree with you that this doesn't require ditching relational models, though. For that matter not even SQL. You can even fairly easily build this kind of architecture without e.g. ever leaving Postgres (replicated pair for their "depots"; triggers + postgres foreign data wrappers to materialize views on index servers and/or to do requests across index servers).

The building was built on the proposed site of a London Tube station, and thus couldn't be built on a pile foundation as it would normally have been. Instead, all the weight is borne on four large pillars. To facilitate this, instead of pillars within the building, it has a metal exoskeleton distributing load to the large pillars.

In order to stop this exoskeleton being damaged by fire and causing the building to collapse, the exoskeleton is made of hollow pipes which are filled with water, which carries away damaging heat.

3) micro/nanoplastic-related technology (now that we know it’s a problem, probably of a billion or trillion dollar scale, something will come up soon).

4) major advances in military drones and conventional warfare coming from Russia-Ukraine war

Refinement and definition of diagnostic criteria change over time. A major change in the diagnostic criteria will result in a change in the profile of the diagnoses made against a population.

No malign intent nor conspiracy is required; we changed how we defined certain mental illnesses, and as a result the number and kind of diagnoses for those mental illness (and for mental health) change as professionals adopt the new standards.

It's not that there's an increase or a change in the actual mental health, but just that the numbers before and after are simply not comparable.

I don't think that's a good analogy.

What matters is if the thing they're doing to test your security is similar to what criminals would do to breach your security.

In the case of a physical location, that bar is low. It's things like seeing if your garage door is open, or your car doors are locked, etc.

In the case of computer resources, that bar is high. Probing your database for permissions holes is absolutely something that a normal "cyber criminal" would do. It's the equivalent of a carjacker looking to see if your doors are unlocked.

So an "online neighbor" alerting you that your database is unprotected doesn't feel weird at all. It's not the equivalent of that weird laser pointer thing you talked about, it's the equivalent of looking to see if your car doors are unlocked while you're away on vacation.

"I'm still a fan of TCP/IP illustrated (book 1) [1] for understanding the fundamentals."

Agreed.

I find it difficult to gratuitously study a broad topic and instead prefer to learn by building and doing.

However, that book was one of the most readable, well paced and well presented books and it really did give me a good broad understanding that I rely on even now, 25 years later.

Even if you think a book just about TCP/IP is pigeonholing you and you'd like a broader picture of "computer networking" I would still start with this - the design decisions and solutions described can be applied very broadly.

A good example of this is the discussion of exponential backoff algorithms ... that's useful everywhere.

> As for access point capability, that should really be segmented, and any off the shelf Ruckus, Aruba, Unifi etc. will always outperform the drivers available to OpenWRT. I'm a staunch advocate of an eBay ruckus 510 or 610, which will be very little in terms of cost and also your best home access point ever.

This. Your comments about open source are relevant but IMO these days with work from home, tons of devices, larger/more well constructed homes, increased traffic for anything/everything, etc managed APs are just the way to go.

I'm a big advocate of OpenWRT but many years ago I got sick of fiddling with basic connectivity on a regular basis and dropped a few hundred dollars on a standard Unifi setup. I haven't touched or thought of my "pipes" since - to me there's nothing worse than being deep flow into a project and then having to fiddle with some router or access point because it's being flaky, dropping packets, negotiating slower link speeds, etc. It's much better than factory firmware in most cases but that's a pretty low bar.

Ubiquiti has had some controversies with data access, cloud stuff, etc but I just can't be bothered to care. For $100 x $NUM APs and a docker container to run the controller it just works.

Unifi has been truly game changing for me in terms of making wifi ethernet level reliable, predictable, and consistent - everywhere without needing to take on yet another level of deep expertise in Wifi.

> You can't get a complete design because nobody is going to spend the money designing a reactor that might never be built -- the utilities who buy them don't want to wait several years after committing to the project to wait for a finished design, so the engineering firms are selling 50% designs and the utilities are sending those plans to the firms to get fabrication started.

They just finished building one, so start by build more of those.

> there's a ton of turnover because the job is so difficult due to the poor planning

Which is still the scale problem -- it's poor planning because they have no experience doing it. The more you build the more experience people have.

> they actually saw negative learning curves on Vogtle 4 -- it actually took them longer to complete much of the same work on the 2nd reactor they're building.

COVID hit during Vogtle 4, which is obviously an outlier.

> So we "just" need a stable government commitment to spend tens of billions of dollars over several decades.

By some estimates the US government pays $20B in subsidies a year to the oil industry, so this isn't even a big ask. But it's also not clear why you inherently need there to be a single buyer. Why can't 10 independent entities all buy reactors of the same design?
