Besides the countless examples of the US directly destroying the environment and wiping out entire species, the modern issue is that the US and much of Europe overconsume and import all of these goods and energy which means that they export the pollution and environmental damage to other countries, hiding the problem out of sight.

China is only such a large polluter because it is manufacturing everything for the entire world. All of our nice living conditions in the US and Europe come at the expense of developing nations. Poor factory conditions, rampant air, water, and ground pollution, deforestation, poverty. These are pushed onto every nation below it in the supply chain.
Having a redis job queue is extremely standard, especially for web app development, regardless of language. For one thing if the web server crashes for any reason the jobs still continue processing and also you have a log of jobs in case they fail etc
Slightly off-topic, but I am curious how difficult it is in general to receive an entrepreneurial visa to the US? I chatted with a potential co-founder, here now for a masters, who would seek out this visa if we were to start a company together.
And this is why government exists, so it can battle these things without everything being a direct action from the consumer.
I'm in the same boat.
I've been looking at this space since (P)NaCL
With a nagging question in my mind:

What does this do that we couldn't do with Java Applets?
So far the response is very few things and a lot less.
On the few things that it does differently is:
+ it focus on multi language support.
as opposed to the JVM which was focused in getting all of us in writing Java.
Here they want to actually use different languages to write webapps.
- Although Rust is the favorite (As is C# in the .net)
+ It has a clear mechanism to communicate with Javascript and therefore the web.
+ timing bandwidth is now big enough to make this apps seem practical.
+ it is done by a coallition of vedors (as opposed to java that was only Sun's baby).

Very minor advantages in my opinion... but well
I also think that lip's s-expressions are better than json, xml and yaml.
and the world has thought differently every single time.
Yeah, I laughed when I saw the location as Rolling Hills Estates; while quite a few RHE residents could probably afford this airplane, there’s not a chance in hell that you’d actually be able to get it anywhere near there. The nearest airport would be Torrance, but while you might be able to land an A380 there, I highly doubt you’d ever be able to get it off the ground again if you did so.
Because this particular example of wrongthink was given a literal gold badge of approval from Twitter.

Because that badge of approval caused this wrongthink to be seen by a great many people.

Because Twitter has been caught red handed lying about its moderation policies to defraud advertisers and this is a blatant example of that fraud.

Because Twitter's owner has himself espoused neo-Nazi wrongthink by praising Hitler, claiming Jews are conspiring to destroy white America, and saying he has no sympathy for Jews who face antisemitism.

Take your pick.
Harsh reality only if you're making this world to be business first instead of human first.

> The police can access cellphone records but the process is cumbersome and privacy laws require a subpoena.

So in short, the phone company keeps records as does the phone and an increasing number of cars. However the author apparently feels that the police shouldn't even have to ask.

Frankly that is an insane take. With the amount of information being (secretly) kept about us by our own devices we risk putting the entire population under constant surveillance if we don't improve protections against law enforcement hacking devices.
It’s unclear if this is based on public source code or if they had more than that?
I'm pretty skeptical of the given reason of “cost growth stemming from evolving Lunar Gateway architecture and mission requirements combined with macroeconomic challenges". IMO this is more indicative of Northrop not having the needed engineering talent to run their programs.

The article goes on to mention that Northrop took part in creating the design and architecture of the lunar Gateway under an earlier cost plus contract, which seems at odds with the idea that architecture cost growth was out of their control.

In the end, this is why you hire and retain skilled IC talent. So you can utilize their experience and insight to discover hidden issues and better technology paths before things leave the drawing board.
Taylor Swift deepfakes spark calls in Congress for new legislation
I actually found it kinda slow in terms of showing hints (squiggled highlights) and it doesn't seem to follow symbols across a project the way VScode and IntelliJ do. Guess it's more of an editor than an IDE in that regard.
This is all very encouraging and in particular batteries role in solar

Two interesting data points to that end

1) The "duck curve" for CA is almost neutral - eg the timing imbalance between peak demand and solar power generation - battery utilization is the most straightforward solution here
- https://twitter.com/baker_edmund/status/1750644294673748366

2) There has been a massive decline in rooftop solar applications in CA since solar energy reimbursements dropped - https://twitter.com/thomasopeters/status/1750920941868347539 - some of that is potentially pent up demand, but I think illustrates the role state policy has to play in moving towards "renewables"
malloc performance is still sub-par IMO. It is not nearly as terrible as it was, but scudo, memalloc, and glibc's malloc are better.
I have just flown one of those from Munich to Bangkok (Lufthansa). The pilots were so nice and even let me take a pic inside the cabin after we landed
> people much better informed on the topic than you spent a long time pursuing that data.

People who want to flatten political ideologies and place millions of people into preconceived ideological US-centric buckets are not "much better informed" on any topic. They're just paid parrots shoving propaganda.
Hehe, no I didn't need that and besides I left after the first year to go earn a living anyway.
The DMARC requirement only applies to senders who send at least 5000 e-mails per day to gmail-recipients.

I'm not a fan of DMARC. SPF and DKIM already do their job well enough. Then people add DMARC with "p=none" just to tick their "have DMARC" box. Even google suggests a policy of "none" is ok, but doesn't mention that this means SPF and DKIM will be ignored.
As solar capacity grows, duck curves are getting deeper in California

Loved my Nexus 5x until the high power CPU cores started failing causing instabilities. Loved my pixel 2 until the battery stopped holding a charge. Liked my 4a (it is literally a faster 2 that you can't squeeze to bring up google assistant (the squeeze was my fave feature)) until the April 2023 update that ruined the battery life. They never fixed it. Pixel 7 was suffering the same issues at the time. I made the decision to switch to a Samsung S23+ and not looking back.

Build quality of the Google flagships never have been the best, but they always have issues. I am getting too old to have time to fiddle with this stuff and just want something that works.
Have you tried rebooting your Mac? Because on both of my Macs (a MBP 2020 and a Mac mini 2018, both running Ventura), the involuntary Sonoma upgrade only started once I manually rebooted the machine. Before the reboot, everything seemed normal and there was nothing indicating that the upgrade would take place.

After experiencing the issue on my MBP, I actually waited a couple days before I rebooted my Mac mini, and before I did so, I checked whether there was an "Install macOS Sonoma" app in the Applications folder (there was not). My (now proven incorrect) assumption was that the Sonoma installer would always come in form of such an app, like it did for previous versions of macOS.

For the past 5+ years, I've always waited at least 6-9 months before upgrading to a new major macOS version, and I am generally very careful about not upgrading accidentally. There is zero chance that I twice missed a notification or accidentally initiated the Sonoma upgrade myself.

2. ...and should they? If a crash happens, and someone was on their phone, it would be pretty obvious that they were at fault. I just have a really hard time thinking that more device-related tracking would be better for society.
Also, the mention of cameras at the end of the article is another concern for me. I really don't think this country is better off with more internet connected cameras that are actively being used to surveil the populous. There have to be better ways to win the hearts and minds of people and convince them to not use their phones. Turning into a surveillance state doesn't seem to be the best way to do that IMO.
In Europe we just use multi platform messengers :) like Telegram or WhatsApp or something.

So . . . you never did anything wrong, selflessly threw your body on grenades, and suddenly out of the blue your cofounder wants to leave you?

I don't think you're being honest with yourself here on many counts.

Have you considered a "couples counseling" scenario with your cofounder? It doesn't even need to be an actual counselor. But it would be useful if you had an uninvolved 3rd party that you and the cofounder and anyone else could talk with . . . a 3rd party that you could trust to give you an objective analysis.

Poor code quality is not a unique problem to AI coding assistants -- it's also a pervasive problem in the wild, regardless of who or what is writing code.

My thoughts around code quality are generally that if you're writing code for yourself (as a hobby, for open source, whatever) -- then write code however you want, as it's for fun. Obviously, others can contribute fixes and help make things better, but there's no professional "responsibility" in these cases.

On the other hand, if you're writing software meant to be used by others (including companies you work for), it's your responsibility as a developer to ensure the code you're pushing is:

- In compliance with style conventions

- Properly reviewed for security issues (tools like Snyk and other SAST/SCA tools work well for this)

- Makes architectural sense given the rest of your codebase

- Is documented so others can easily contribute/review without a lot of handholding

The rules above are true regardless of how the code is being generated.
> * Basic keyholders getting masterkeys by taking locks apart. Think of a college dorm where they want every resident to be able to open the front door, but not each others' dorm rooms, and they want the fire department to have one key that will work for all the rooms. Because of the way masterkey systems work, a resident can take the lock off their dorm room door, measure some internal components, and figure out the cuts on the fire department master key. Restricted key blanks make this a lot harder.

You can actually do it without disassembling the lock with N+1 keyblanks (where the lock has N pins).

Master keys work by having two[1] setpoints for each pin. So you copy your key N times, leaving a different pin uncut in each copy. Then just slowly file down the key until it unlocks. It will unlock in the pin-set position for your key and the pin-set position for the master key. This allows decoding the master key position for a single pin.

Finally, copy the master-key positions onto the last keyblank.

Basically it lets you turn a M^N problem (M positions, N pins) into a MN problem.

1: Assuming the non-master keys are random, there's a chance the two setpoints will be the same on any given pin/lock.
It was stuff like this that made me switch to iPhone. The notable ones were the December bug and them breaking SMS. What sort of testing they use is beyond me.
I find it hard to understand that the head of Mozilla foundation
is paid nearly $7 million for the important job to run the foundation.

Linus gets paid $1,5 million (from the Linux foundation).

I think given the central position and importance of Linus compared to
the head of the Mozilla foundation seems a bit off.

A little while ago Linus announced that they had lost power at their home
due to a large storm.

I was picturing large corporations sending in giant Tesla batteries and
diesel generators and hooking it all up in hours. (free of charge of course).
but as far as I know it did not happen.

It might have if he asked for it I suppose.

Linus seems like a most humble guy, given his celebrity status, his life's work and his high importance to the world.

(I do see things that he has several other income streams than just the Linux Foundation so that s good)
Here I disagree and criticize, how it is promoted.
What makes it not a visa? It's permission to enter the U.S., that's what a visa is, isn't it? Also, I that's it's pretty common to call it that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EB-1_visa

But yes, the majority of recipients get them because they're managers at big companies.
The function was to tag features on a photo, it ended up being this multi state process where you set a feature then click the point on the photo. Because I am an idiot, and the tool was really only for me, rather than infect my pristine, beautiful code(it's not, it is this horrible ball of python) with 5 lines of javascript, in a task that javascript was made specifically for. I spent all day figuring out how to do it with server side image maps.

In conclusion. there is no way to send an arbitrary point using client side image maps. a task server side image maps specifically solves.

That's not true. It's significantly easier to ensure the security of an offline signing key than it is to ensure that an arbitrary HTTPS server avoids ever becoming compromised.
This is what people don’t realize when we talk about “average” global temperature rise. 2 Celsius average doesn’t mean 2 Celsius everywhere - it means some regions are going to be much higher than that.

Very interesting they were funded partially from Kickstarter! 292 backers at 10k€. I assumed you needed quite the following for Kickstarter to work...

And it looks like they do. 49k followers on Facebook and 16k on Instagram. Not sure how far back these go, but looks like very "shareable" content, where they would take I translatable words and make little funny pictures or memes or other intriguing things and post them. Lots of interaction comments/reaction-wise

Timeline-wise this was backed on Kickstarter in 2020. Site launched in summer 2020. The creator was very active on Kickstarter working on communicating and updating the community with what was going on (until the end there).

Also seems to have a Patreon, and worked itself into other places like https://github.com/theimpossibleastronaut/awesome-linguistic...

No, they selected some of the programs and made their own measurements.

> The ones that ran faster are considered greener.

No, they used Intel’s Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) to measure energy consumption.
Do you find IntelliJ slow? Once mine finishes indexing a project, the rest of the time it feels lighting fast. M2 Max here, 32GB. I think I allocated 16GB to IntelliJ (manually, in the help menu I think). I usually have Webstorm and RubyMine running side by side (for frontend and backend projects) along with a bunch of other apps and browser windows and they all feel really snappy. Hmm. Are your projects huge? Or does Java have a lot more overhead?

Jetbrains also offers hosted instances if you want to see if that's any faster... https://www.jetbrains.com/space/features/dev-environments.ht...

(I haven't tried it, but it seems to me that network latency at 30-100ms shouldn't be as noticeable as a slow computer, if that's really the issue)

Did you purposefully ignore the line right after the one you quoted?

"The agency is affiliated with Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, and it supports sectors such as the military, civil aviation, agriculture, and maritime."
Exactly. Some other context implied here, these vectors were ML embeddings. In that case, like 100 dimensions that vaguely represented our input data in compact form. There was probably a better solution out there, this was just the most readily available for us.

An alternative which is almost as good is using a novel enviornment to enforce the desired behaviour. i.e Go to a coffee shop. But this stops working after a while.

Also try using apps which block or limit you from distractions. Sure you could easily disable the blocker but that little bit of resistance is often enough.
I hear a small company called Apple is making a viable alternative.
Ok and where is that ad spend going to direct people to go? To the store with the 30% tax or the store with the 5% tax?

You say you wouldn't drop your prices because you know what people are willing to pay as a counter argument to saying that lowering prices would incentivize people to shop at other stores while also stating that selling at other stores would increase your margin. Well, sounds like if you want to get that bigger margin, you should lower your prices to attract people to the lower tax store.
You don't need a standard if it works in most browsers. And that's worked fine for me on nearly a dozen enterprise web apps since ~1995

Ah, another case of OTA murder of perfectly good devices. You have to wonder at what point regulators will step in to ensure that companies end up liable for updates that effectively cost consumers money. Updates should be to make devices safer and better, never worse. One of the devices in our house has been nagging me since forever to update and I'm just about 99% sure that if I do allow it to update I'll end up regretting it. So now I'm facing a tough choice: potentially run a device with a security issue on the network here or play the update game of Russian Roulette (with 5 bullets instead of the normal single one) and hope that I still have a functional device afterwards.

On the devx, there's definitely some rough edges around building and using Wasm. My company has been working on a framework to ease integrating Wasm into existing applications.

Interesting. I have not used AI generated code in professional settings (due to the institutional reasons) but I have thought about this and had postulated that there is high risk that the code will become more bloated and will lose architectural cohesion. It is interesting to have this backed by some data.

Now this is not necessarily a bad thing. I have seen a lot of code that is trying to follow the DRY principles and the result is horribly tangled mess where you have no idea what gets when executed by just looking at the code.

There is also hope that AI summarizing ability could help to gain a better systematic understanding of the code. Perhaps it's generalization capabilities could even help to refactor the code and build up a good test suit.

But this is to be seen to happen and better awareness is an advantage.
