Yeah, same in Norway. I think the last time I dealt with paper was in 2012, when I had to sign a document to get a .no-domain (before they changed to digital signing). I just signed it with Photoshop instead, since I didn't bother printing and then scanning it.

Everything is digital/easy here and has been it for a long time. Old people can still get a waiver to get government snailmail instead of secure digital mail though.
Indeed, operating Kafka can be challenging and complex due to its nature as a stateful and distributed system.

However, AutoMQ has adopted a cloud-native architecture, offloading storage to EBS and S3(https://docs.automq.com/docs/automq-s3kafka/Q8fNwoCDGiBOV6k8...), eliminating the need for replication and rendering the Broker stateless, which simplifies operations significantly.
You answered your own question.
It’s less known about, by the time the #rrggbbaa syntax came out people would use rgba() for alpha. Some would also argue the rgba() syntax is more readable when alpha is involved.

If alpha support came out with hex from the beginning then it may be a different story

I saw a youtube video recently where the guy believes evolution exists, but doesn't think the brain can evolve since it's not exposed to the air.
10 Nov 1963 (1 day before Armistice Day) to be specific.

Maybe it was something personal, but (as someone who spent their youth worrying that the Big One might arrive anytime in the next 5-30 minutes, depending upon flight time) I see a lot of geopolitics going on around that date.

Now I was fortunate: the US was already out of Vietnam before I was draftable, and I emigrated early in this century, before it was apparent that Afghanistan and Iraq would become slogs, so my life has had a lot of peace, with only minor engagements[0] of either of my countries.

Compare KDvN: born in 1911, WWI+Kun 1914-1919, Hitler+WWII 1933-1945, Cold War 1947-, Korea 1950-1953, US involvement in Vietnam 1961-, plus Bay of Pigs 1961, Cuban Missile Crisis 1962, and chaos in Vietnam mid 1963[1]; worked on at least the A-bomb[1,5] and therefore knew what the H-bomb was capable of, but had no empirical evidence that MAD[2] would turn out to be effective, as that acronym was only coined in 1962 and doctrine announced sometime after. If I try to take her priors (as someone who had already started fleeing communism at 8, and had had, it seems, a life full of hope only between the ages of 9 and 22?) I wouldn't have put a lot of weight on peaceful outcomes then either.

(then again, Stefan Zweig also committed suicide[3], so I'm not sure how much of a culture shock the New World was to former Austro-hungarians in general)

The closest solution I remember to this happened roughly 15 years ago when there was a browser extension that detected pgp on Email bodies and was able to get public keys and encrypt/decrypt emails automatically or with a single click, if I recall correctly.

It felt a small team or a single person project. There was a cat and mouse game being played against Gmail interface changes, with the encryption being broken every now and then. It required me, a random user, to trust the extension developer(s) with my Gmail and gpg keys. I had fear of having an xz backdoor situation compromising my Gmail account and gpg keys.

And for this extension to succeed I also had to convince all my Gmail friends and contacts to use it, and convincing them to trust the developers of the extension as I had done.

While I felt confident that the extension was perfectly safe I didn't dare to convince my family and friends to use it because (a) I could not guarantee that the extension wouldn't be compromised in the future and (b) the chance of the extension being broken in the future due to a Gmail UI change was close to 100%. Also the more users the extension had the higher the chances for someone to attempt to infiltrate to attempt a backdoor...

If I recall correctly, eventually the developer got tired of the Gmail UI changes and increasing demands of users and moved on, stopping the development.

Anyone with time could try to develop such an extension, but there were drawbacks back in the day...

How so?
There are 120,000 miles of transmission lines in the USA. Not all of that is overhead high voltage, but the system is still vast. Where do you put the net?

The problem has three prongs:
Detection: there is so much line, and much of it is away from regular eyes. Intermittent-moving threat: Imagine you get a report about a drone perching on your wires. You schedule and dispatch a team to deal with it. Most likely by the time they arrive on site the drone is gone. They are playing a catchup game with moving threats. Action: okay, you got a drone in sight. Either because it didn’t move away, or because you got lucky. What do you do? Mind you the lines are really high and poking things near them can be hazardous if not done correctly. So it is not just any Harry and Dick who can deal with the drone, you need someone trained and with the right equipment.
It'd be even simpler to set up a piezoelectric sensor or a mic right on the device. If the device is vibrating, there's a 99.9% chance its going off.
I disagree heavily. Just because you have trains going everywhere (that's not a Germany-specific thing) doesn't mean they are allowed to be hours late. The transport system is broken, was destroyed by trying to cut costs in the past.

Same with schools and educators. And don't get me started on healthcare.

Your sentiment is part of the problem to be honest: Germans are always complaining, it's fine as it is bla bla. It is if you compare yourself to third world countries. But we compete with Japan, Switzerland, the nordics and so on. Also note that this is not a sentiment that is only found in Germans but also a lot of (high value) immigrants who move on after touching base. Germany has a lot of potential but utilizes that very little.

Why would I recognize anything positive about the transport system that has a high likelihood of making my trip a nightmare? It's literally the most important thing, to get me from a to b. That doesn't work with massive delays, cancellations, reschedulings and I miss my connections.

Ask any agricultural engineer why that is a bad idea. Tomato pathogens from the old culture end up in your new one. That's one of the ideas behind culture rotation. But one could use that compost for other unrelated cultures like apple trees or grape vine.

And specifically, Brassica oleracea shows up against lead, though no amount is given in that table. The referenced webpage [1] mentions 0.1% to 3% (!) of dry weight, though that's in relation to hyperaccumulators generally.

This article [2] gives an indication of what high concentrations may look like in Brassica oleracea, though I still don't have much idea of what those numbers mean to a human being eating the plant. Considerably less than the 10,000+ mg/kg seen in other plants, thankfully.

This is a brilliant view and probably applies to most situations when a person has to process something - not just government and not just Germany. Very, very few people outright don't want to help - if you come in trying to be the light in their day, they'll WANT to help you get your things done quickly and efficiently, and vice versa.

Yeah! Especially rampant is reusing names of closed GmbHs, reopening them, sending out invoices and stuff like that. Or spamming newly created GmbHs with phantasy invoices. Or the scam that's called Abmahnung by lawyers. There's plenty in Germany, so don't be fooled.
And, in any case, Japan had tons of what should be considered early smartphones. I was astonished the first time I saw one (and this was obviously before the iPhone). For some reason the iPhone managed to kill off the local Japanese industry though. Japan youngsters (and not only youngsters) are very fashion-oriented, which had more to do with the change than anything else.
I wonder if the use of eDRAM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDRAM), which is essentially embedding DRAM into a chip made on a logic process would be a good idea here.

EDRAM is essentially a tradeoff between SRAM and DRAM, offering much greater density at the cost of somewhat worse throughput and latency.

There were a couple of POWER cpus that used EDRAM as L3 cache, but it seems to have fallen out of favor.
One thing that isn't made clear is when writes are acknowledged.

Specifically is a write acknowledged when it's written to Delta WAL or when it's uploaded to object storage?

If writes are acknowledged when written to Delta WAL is it possible to lose acknowledged writes when an EBS volume becomes unavailable or does that whole partition become unwritable until the volume comes back? Or is Delta WAL itself replicated in a similar fashion to traditional Kafka storage?
They really are. Most new models and many of the older ones are fine to scan in the right mode, right scanner and with the right people.

My memory of school at that age was they'd teach you one thing as though it was the absolute truth, then the following year tell you it was all a lie (or over-simplification) and actually it works like this.

Then the next year they'd do it again.

We'd occasionally catch them at it when in Chemistry they'd tell us electrons worked one way and in Physics they'd say they worked another.

Anyway, I can definitely see how an enquiring mind might want to move past all this and find out The Truth.

Not myself, but I accompanied my wife every time, and she’s now a permanent resident. The last time we just wanted to extend her temporary residence permit, they even advised us that we have no reason to do that and could just apply for permanent residence (which we then did).

Waiting times are annoying, but that is because of an overloaded system, everything else was pretty painless.
It’s well established that von Neumann wanted to kill millions of people (in the USSR), and would’ve done so had he been given the chance. That quote is not an isolated case. He was a genius with no respect for human life, he was so blindly opposed to totalitarianism of all kinds that he thought no amount of collateral damage would be too much.
An arduino BLE, 18650 battery will probably run you about 50 bucks (retail, one-off). From experience, that will run for at least 4+ years in low-power mode -- maybe even decades. Announce a BLE service with the alarm status.

Again, you can't build a human mercenary military with nearly the capabilities of any country but a small, poor one.
What point are you arguing here? More binaries rather than less? Less readable source code rather than more readable?

Of course if you are a civil servant or part of some mega union, but for the rest of the private plebs it is often 9h daily(because lunch break is not part of contract) and most do a long commute(because of eternal housing crisis) which may raise it to 12-14h easily.

Meditation has only been a very small part of my practice. I've worked with a whole lot of different practitioners since about 2012. I can't really distil a decade plus of healing work into a comment that skeptical readers will find persuasive, but for those wanting to look into it for themselves, books by Gabor Maté and Bruce Lipton are a good start, and practices like Internal Family Systems, Family Constellations, EFT tapping, biofeedback/neurofeedback and Neuro-Emotional Technique are a worth trying.

In principle, emotional healing techniques are effective if they involve "letting go" of the physiological reaction (i.e., "trigger") that is activated when experiencing (or remembering) a traumatic event. Once the physiological reaction ceases to occur, the emotion is "processed", and is just a benign memory like any other. But that can take a huge amount of work over a long time for some complexes, if they are very, erm, complex, and deeply ingrained.

Admittedly, this was almost a year ago. I found I could pay with credit cards in Berlin, but once I was in smaller areas I was looked at like I was insane if I tried to pay by anything other than cash. Probably didn’t help that my German was terrible.

In particular, I was staying in Nordhausen for work for a couple weeks. The hotel I stayed at tried to refuse to accept that I paid by card online in advance. Every small restaurant I went to refused to accept either a credit or debit card, and only a couple chain (read:overpriced) restaurants would accept Mastercard. When I tried to buy an Ethernet cable at a general store they refused to accept anything other than cash once they realized I was a foreigner.

Maybe it’s a myth in large population centres, but definitely not overall. I had roughly the same experience throughout most of Thuringia, with even gas stations in certain areas only accepting cash.

How does the involvement of a notary at the time of formation reduce the risk of the company going bankrupt?

> it's amazing how easy end-to-end encryption on Signal and Whatsapp is

They both use a centralized, authority for identification and key sharing, sidestepping the hardest part entirely. Also, they are their own protocol and as such you don't suffer the encrypted/plain-text-only email dichotomy, sidestepping another pain point.

When you don't care about the decentralized nature of email and can force everything to be encrypted, then the problem becomes much easier.
