This idea wouldn’t actually solve most of the biggest problems during turbulence, which is people hitting their heads on the ceiling, and people getting hit by luggage falling out of the overhead storage.

I like the Eclipse UI. I just don't like how it behave on high resolution displays on Linux.

I was unable to create an account for the bug tracker without signing a CLA. Maybe that's changed now, but I'm pretty sure that was the case when I last tried.

I wouldn't say that Eclipse has dramatically improved on the last few years. On the contrary. It feels more sluggish to me and it crashes more frequently than before.

The plugin Marketplace in Eclipse is a steaming pile of shite. Installing plugins is an incredibly slow and painful affair. It can take MINUTES to run a search for a plugin, and while it's loading the rest of the UI just freezes. That's a shame.

But given that I can't even figure out how to build the full IDE with its hundrends of plugins, and the CLA nonsense, I certainly won't be investing my time on trying to fix that.

According to this[1] the sex ratio participation in the labor force is comparable between countries, as in only 5% variance in most cases, of the difference between men/women labor force participation. That was a interesting thesis, but data doesn't seems to favor it. Sex alone isn't able to explain the that Germany seems to have higher/same output than other countries despite working less hours. Quality of working hours doesn't seem to feature a imbalance in the labor pool to explain the difference.

Keyzii – Connect, share, collaborate and close with instant video chat
There are historical reasons for it, including the (at least historically) milder climate, and much higher cost of energy. In many older buildings there are also space and architectural constraints.

I expect these objections will fall away in future years as summer heat gets more intense. Those who can afford A/C will install what is often seen as a conspicuous luxury and energy-wasting convenience, and those who can't will envy rather than despise them, as the culture continues its shift towards individualism.

A very American article. To Europeans (and people in most other places) the answer is obvious that it comes from the street signs. The only open question is where their designers got the idea from.

I was rather bemused that the article takes a third of its length before getting to that point, and almost glances over the remaining question (apparently it comes from the subcommittee that designed the no parking and no stopping signs).
You do not understand the issue at hand. Whatever you experienced was way less severe, because evaporative cooling obviously was still possible. There is a point where you simply cannot cool yourself passively. That's the point where survival is at risk regardless of health.

Just like all coffee shops and most supermarkets.

And under EU law fresh food fridges must target 4C and not exceed 8C, only food pantries are allowed go to 18 degrees.

I agree with the ACs, but then again in houses it usually wasn’t necessary until now. Most public spaces do have AC, and public transportation with AC are also quite common, at least in the developed parts of the EU
I've been testing duckdb's ability to scan multi-tb parquet datasets in S3. I have to say that i've been pretty impressed with it. I've done some pretty hairy SQL (window functions, multi-table joins, etc).. stuff that takes less time in Athena, but not by that much. Coupled with its ability to pull and join that data with information in RDB's like mysql make it a really compelling tool. Strangely, the least performant operations were the mysql look ups (had to set SET GLOBAL mysql_experimental_filter_pushdown=true;). Anyway.. definitely worth another look.. i'm using v 9.2
Let's start with the use of OpenDocument formats. Much of Brussels operates on the exchange-by-mail of .docx files (unfortunately, this is part of my job, it's true for other governments too). I so wish that would change. My ideal would be version-tracked LaTeX of course, but let's begin with a small step. By the way, is there any good tooling of e.g. diffing .odt? I haven't found that, but maybe I'm overlooking something.
Yeah, it is kind of provocatory. Of course you can't build a business out of an in-memory game, but it is fun to ship something as it is. Without thinking too much about scalability.
Missing from the title is "enough" for what? For any trivial personal project? Python, Ruby, PHP are each enough. There's not a need for literature about personal low-risk development or deployment.

That said, Scalability? But at what COST? [http://www.frankmcsherry.org/assets/COST.pdf] was a good note that orienting around scaleable technologies can be very inefficient- scalable does not mean either fast or economical.

When I was 5 or 6 years old I was flying-sitting with my dad, as passengers, though he was an airline pilot, when we hit a pocket of "dead" air. Meals and drinks were just served.

I like the idea, think about what you really need, keep it simple.

I also try to move centralized computing to decentralized computing more and more.
And that can also be done to let the client do more computing.
And also storage, is it needed to store in central, or can the user store it.

Many times people thinking that we should have a central system, with all the truth.
But let it be a part of the users.

It makes also the central part simple, and because the central part is simple, it is easier to scale.
The Comission doesn't care about privacy and wants tighter integration with the US (for the companies). The parliament and the European Court of Justice want stronger privacy (for the people).

These illegal offshore "IPTV" operators are taking over the streaming market in my area. They have succeeded in marketing themselves to ordinary people via word of mouth and local resellers, and have apparently built enough of a reliable platform that they keep customers.
I don't think that's wild.

But IMO the real moat in M365 is that it also bundles Microsoft Entra ID (formerly AAD) licenses and it's strongly integrated to it + SharePoint.

This way you can have "basic IT stuff" you expect in a company like company users, groups, shared folders, file permissions, etc...

that's still not something I'd want to inflict to myself. That means you need to somehow ensure the functions you pass are pure, and that upgrading Node or changing the compilation target could break the app if the release rollout is progressive.

How can Delphi (i.e. Object Pascal) be a memory-safe language if it shares all features which are considered to make C or C++ unsafe (e.g. taking the address of local variables, adding arbitrary integers to pointers, interpreting arbitrary integers as pointers to any type, deleting a heap object still pointed to, etc.)?

As an excuse they claim that "Even with a memory safe language, memory management is not entirely memory safe. Most memory safe languages recognize that software sometimes needs to perform an unsafe memory management function to accomplish certain tasks." But with that exception, what prevents them from adding e.g. C++ to the list?

But you vote for someone who is going to nominate a commissioner. So it is just indirect election.
the problem is there is a huge difference between:

- what is statistically there

- why it's statistically there (e.g. high crime rates in poor minority populated areas mean nothing if there is racist polic/laws even through they are statistically there)

- if the statistics are misleading, biased and/or incomplete (e.g. bad English might statistically imply lower paying jobs in English speaking countries, things are much much less statistic relevant the more you move away from an English dominated environment. And that doesn't even touch on the problem of English variations and dialect and judging what counts as bad English etc.)

- taking conclusions about specific individuals based on statistics can be very wrong and racist, because general statistics have only a meaning if you randomly sample and your sample size is large enough, which for most cases of applying it to individuals is just no longer the case as you tend to have a biased selection (e.g. job applications are based on who applied) and the whole (private) background of the person you are speaking about. So the correct statistics would now be probability given that they applied and given their background (including private parts you can't know) and give the specific way the job position was formulated and how it was advertised and ........

So with other words something being likely in generalized statistics doesn't mean it is not racist.

Which is a huge problem for LLMs which only lock at highly biased statistics and can't look at the real world or self reflect.
Yeah, they will do whatever they can to keep our data flowing to the US so that their intelligence agencies and data brokers can extract the info and sell it back legally
Aside from what the sister comment said, the app being closed source means we can't reliably check what it actually does, how it uses the data and whether it will get us IP bans on the job websites.

It could have an option to create a hidden hotspot and have the other phone also be able to discover the hotspot automatically (app specific SSID name is searched for and if user is not already in wifi, and hidden hotspot doesn't exist, then it will be created for the duration of transfer).

This is also becoming and issue on the ISP side. These IPTV services are causing support calls for slow speeds and tv freezes when in reality it is just the pirate streams having issues.

This is a really interesting framing that I hadn’t thought about before.

You’re absolutely right. It’s very one sided at the moment.

If we follow their ebook usage practice, it’s not even required that they declare it to be open source. Just need someone to publish their copyrighted work online [0] without their agreement and then - per their rules - it’s totally acceptable to download and use those weights with abandon.

Maybe it could be called “weights3”

[0] I’m not actually suggesting anyone should do this.
But are they really optional? I can’t imagine that the telematics link is going unused for the value it provides (i.e. crowd-sourcing for speed and road map data).

The worst part is that assumptions about who’s driving the vehicle.
Depends. I rather have world most obnoxious but most skilled in history brain surgeon operating my brain than a nice guy soothing my ear but me dying on the operating table. Deep down we all prefer Dr House. But PC culture mandate we picked a more PC person. Always look for technical skills first then evaluate how you can work with that. You want a superior culture of technical expertise and have the team built around it. Not the other way round building teams around a nice bean counter...e.g. what happen to Philips.
It need not be braces. Maybe the 'end' in Ruby, Pascal, Matlab or partially in Basic would look more natural.

You can get pretty far with simple in memory solutions when your problem space fits entirely within the constraints. We have a Go microservice for linking accounts to their proper federated logins with some associated metadata. There’s a refresh process that runs every fifteen minutes.

The entire set fits happily in memory and takes milliseconds to respond.
Won't this still require network connectivity to function?
And also made European forests a net CO2 producer for the year, IIRC.

Photosynthesis doesn't work well at high temperatures, so instead plants switch to respiration, burning their stored sugars for energy while taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. Which, you know, is why plants produce those sugars in the first place, not to magnanimously produce oxygen/scrub CO2 for us.

Heat-waves, with lots of days over 40C/100F, will also wreak havoc on our agriculture.
It's pretty clear we've reached the point where technology has shifted to working against us, and not for us anymore.

I work in tech but as far as I am concerned, you can keep all your smart homes, cars and other gadgets and soul sucking (anti) "social" apps.

Somewhere along the way technology was hijacked to control us rather than empower us. And if you don't like it: shut up because "progress" is inevitable

I think your list plus this just informs that more working hours don't translate to higher productivity. If Germany is capable of having comparable labor productivity despite lower working hours, that would mean that the quality of their working hours is higher. Germany is more efficient translating 1 hour of work into GDP.
The author is conflating two separate concepts, and calling them both "the maybe function":

1) functions which do hidden things outside of their contract and/or whose implementation doesn't properly line up with their types.

2) functions which (by necessity) cannot always return the desired value and must return something else instead.

> The maybe function is a subtle monster that spreads it’s tentacles across the code-base.

This applies to both points 1 and 2.

> It’s alternating functionality of “does/doesn’t do something” makes code hard to understand, maintain and debug.

This only applies to point 1.

> They seem to be trivial to add, but difficult to remove. But hopefully this illustrates the concern and ways to fix it.

This cannot apply to point 2, because you cannot take a function which might return a user and `fix` it to make it always return a user.

> Solution 2 - Monads

This is not a monad.

He has implemented the Maybe Functor. runSafely most likely corresponds to map in whatever library you're using, not flatMap.

This is visible from its type signature:

> runSafely(fn: (val: T) => V): Maybe<V> // map

which should be

> runSafely(fn: (val: T) => Maybe<V>): Maybe<V> // flatMap

And it's also visible in the example function:

function getUser(): User {
if (!loggedIn) {
return null
}
return fetchUser();
}

... which still suffers from points 1 and 2. Because it's the same function which was highlighted as bad code at the top.
