>> people living in apartments without cheap possibility to charge the EV.

20+ years ago, when this electric car transition was being envisioned, everyone thought electric cars would be tiny/cheap things marketed to poor people. The UK even made them exempt from congestion charges. Nobody thought the market would be dominated by enormous/heavy vehicles driven by wealthy homeowners. I know a couple people with EVs who live in apartments. Both compare owning an EV to owning a horse. Several hours of their day is dedicated to managing their their vehicle's charge status. The idea of just plugging it in overnight as you sleep, that is a privilege for those that can afford to purchase a house.
There is no technical reason you can't build a bridge from portugal to new york.

The only question is, what is cheaper, literally billions of charging stations + all the needed infrastructure, or that bridge.
Yes, this makes sense. I think the only good thing from the leak for Google is that the scoring values are not present
Good to see someone positive about California, given all of the politically-motivated negativity. It's a great state for many reasons.

I mentioned non-competes as one of a universe of things that makes this unusual; including its original non-profit status becoming substantially for-profit, and the apparent ease with which MS can now gut the supposedly controlling non-profit and walk away with everything.

And, I'm guessing even the CA policy on non-competes wasn't conceived with the idea of one company simply "taking" another company at-will, even if that scenario is technically covered.
and it's not going to improve. second factor auth in Europe now legally means "second factor auth via means the gov can positively link your Identity".

for anything EU or eu commission, you must either have an app in stock OS smartphone, or receive a sms on a network they can validate sim is attached to a tax id, or nothing else is allowed. totp et al is legally verboten.
If actions speak louder than words then the UK government is not massively anti-immigration. I would say that devolution of power in Britain has ensured that governments are not actually that powerful and unelected authorities with views of their own, hold sway with opinions which do not reflect the electorate. Polls suggest that a majority of people would like reduced migration. Problems abound.

I agree with you about the reforms but basically Brits live beyond their means and need to lower expectations or face a very uncertain future. The NHS is a good example. Demand is literally infinite. We're all going to die and likely suffer an ailment demanding treatment so how can a health service which fails to match that hard reality, survive. As you say, we can use stick and carrot to attenuate demand but it's finally going to crack IMO as was prophetically illustrated so tragically in the pandemic.
offensive, in the sense that breaking key cryptograph would allow them into (foreign) systems.

defensive in the sense that the block access into (American gov & private sector) systems via things like SELinux
Oh right that's why there are zero sociopaths at NGOs...
My experience is that you can "sell" R when the statistical or modelling technique is not (or not well) implemented in python. Which still includes a lot of potentially useful statistical techniques! R should/could lean into being the tool that python programmers reach for when they need something a little less mainstream, if they made it easier for non-R programmers to do so.
I remember in Pakistan around 2007 a lot of my extended family that loved there converted their gasoline powered cars into natural gas burning cars. This was seemingly cheap and PK has a lot of natural gas reserves (and gasoline was spiking at the time). Most of the modification was putting a natural gas tank in the trunk.

I wondered why people in the US did not do that as much. I guess gasoline did not get cheap enough, or the petro industrial complex lobbied to make sure this never happened.

Overall, I like the idea of the consumer having multiple choices on how they can power their automobiles.
Because that is what most of us prefer?

Even when no news is good news, the juniors would get screwed because the managers don't know what's going on.

The people who can just quietly do their job (and the one above it) don't get promoted. Only the ones that say "look at me" or where the managers are tracking them closely.

Great article, love to see claims backed up with examples.
It's one thing to say "jai's meta-programming capabilities are a Big Deal", and another to see it in action alongside competing languages.
TERM=dumb seems like a good idea in a situation like that.
You can shill for CCP as much as you want but when speaking of European or Israeli ideology, yes there are censorship laws but what censorship laws? For Nazi content, why you may ask? Because Nazi regime was mass murdering regime and on the other hand, in China, mass murder Mao is glorified as the father of the nation. That's the difference. Give Chinese people free speech as there is in US and then we can speak about fair competition.

I know putting business logic in the DB has been used very successfully, but it also has some large downsides.

It's harder to express some things as SQL and your team will be less familiar with SQL than your preferred language. SQL language tooling (code autocomplete, testing libs, etc) is also far less mature than tooling for most languages.

It's harder to debug when things go wrong. Where do you put a breakpoint?

It's likely your team ends up splitting your business logic between your app and your DB, and then you have to figure out which part is writing incorrect data when there's a problem.

For my apps, I'm trying to set up the database to reject incorrect information (with types and constraints and sometimes triggers), but have the app code do all the business logic and writing data.

Honestly, it's too soon to tell whether my apps will be successful with this approach. They haven't yet gone through years of real world usage and requirements changing. But so far it's gone well!
From Finalsparks website:

> Growing and scaling biocomputers is straightforward as it is just the result of natural expansion. This process is significantly simpler than scaling silicon based CPUs and GPUs.

I am by no means proficient in the field of neuroscience, but aren't signals in the nervous system sent by pumping Na+ and K+ ions in and out of the dendrites? From what I have been taught in my highschool biology classes, responses from stimuli will take in the order of milliseconds to fade out.
It may use several orders of magnitude less power, but I don't see how they can get compute that comes close to even decades old CPUs. Are signals in the brain sent through an entirely different process, or are they using a completely different feature of brain tissue that solves some problem we have in silicon-based processors?

Lombok does not get pulled in as a transitive dependency unless the author of your dependency fucked up their build. RTFM and you're good. Even if they fucked up, you can just exclude the transitive dependency. Easy.

Lombok produces bytecode that could have been written by hand. You will not be able to tell the difference when using these compiled classes.

No, it would control for a lot of those factors. Things like impulsivity, sexuality, sensation-seeking etc. All very heritable or family-level. If you ever find any correlations reported for tattoos between family members, it's gonna look like everything else: steeply increasing with relatedness.
The Prius Prime and RAV4 Prime are great EV's (PHEVs), they have some of the best-in-class efficiency metrics (on either form of fuel). And their child company (Subaru, 20% ownership) is doing a full EV (Solterra)

Toyota isn't "avoiding" EVs, they just aren't rushing to put out a bunch of first-gen-tech EV-only cars. Which seems perfectly fine -- if you want those, Chevrolet and Tesla and Nissan would be happy to sell you those.
likely, but it's a custom time based token from RSA that you definitely will never get the keys out. so the implementation doesn't matter much.
there's more likely to be an accident among a pool of 10 cars, than there is in a pool of 1 car.

Link them all together so that any car's accident becomes all cars accident; and the conclusion seems to follow as a mathematical necessity.

Due to the way apple restricts development on their platform, one has to recompile/reinstall homebrew software every 7 days for it to work, effectively killing FOSS development for people who don't own the bundle/app IDs. I once paid a 100$ to try and contribute support for NFC for an open source app, only to not be able to use my functionality without upstreaming it. Judging from this experience alone, it feels like Apple hates FOSS.
Interesting! To prove your point, I was unaware that I was using OOP in R when I did those kinds of things. But, it feels more like functional programming, and I wonder if "OOP" is even a good way of describing that, if that's what they mean?
The bigger problem here is, that EVs suck for long drives, especially in places with not enough infrastructure.

So, if you're rich, you buy a tesla (or whatever electric car) for daily commutes and short-distance driving, and then have another car to drive across europe for vacations, etc. Maybe even a third, a pickup truck or something, for when you need to transport something large.

If you're not rich, you buy a renault clio or something else cheap and gasoline powered, because it does most of what you need and it's a lot cheaper than the alternaties.
It's not that nobody listens, it's that the information disseminated via the media is not what's correct, but rather what is politically expedient at the moment.

A combination of industrial policy, extreme competition in China's domestic market for cars, and a huge eco-system of subsuppliers.

Lots countries have had subsidies and incentives for electric cars; however China's policies seems to have been uniquely succesful - exactly why is not obvious.

Some point to the "mayor economy" where cities compete in being attractive for companies to setup business. For example see the story of Tesla's Shanghai plant.
They may have been referring to film (24 FPS) or its broadcast equivalent (23.976 FPS) being shifted to PAL, which is quite a bit smaller of a jump.

NTSC —> PAL can either be annoying, or difficult to manage without artifacts. If the NTSC source is telecined from a 23.976 source, you can invert that process to get the original back, and then deal with the minor time shift to PAL. If it’s pure NTSC, there’s a lot of filtering to be done to get an acceptable result. At least, last I played with it.
Ah, right. Yeah, I've had people ask for that too. It defeats the whole point of the JWT though. You might as well use sessions at that point because that's essentially what they are if you want to be able to instantly revoke (e.g. check every request).

Yes, it took me a minute to realize that but excited they support Apptainer
Yes, and some list maintainers accept money to add or remove you from the list (officially, or officiously through a secondary maintainer, depending on the list), but otherwise it's no different than getting a domain marked as malware or phishing (with a few paid editors on Phishtank or VirusTotal).

It's easier to get a domain added than removed.
and for the "corruption"/"rackeetering" part, it's a "win-win" for the adblockers and the list maintainers.

Adblockers also often pay browsers to be integrated by default (AdGuard, Adblock Plus, etc), and then they negociate with publishers to whitelist some domains (not necessarily the most obvious, can just be analytics).

"We offer your domain to be unblocked on xx millions of devices by default, this will create you a uplift of revenue of +yy%"
Programming Windows and Inside Windows are the books you want.

Programming Windows covers systems programming in C and in later editions, in C#.

Inside Windows goes over the Window OS architecture in-depth. There’s not much programming in the book but you will come away with a deep understanding of the OS.

Both books are published by Microsoft Press. You’ll of course want the latest editions but if you come across earlier editions, those are fine too.

I’m partial to the earlier Petzold editions of Programming Windows.

The technical docs at microsoft.com are also super helpful and up-to-date: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/docs/
In Canada, many taxis do it. Regular folks don't, largely because of lack of Infrastucture. I have a gasoline station at every corner, off the top of my head I haven't the foggiest idea where I'd fill up with natural gas (edit: I guess it's propane, whopsie!:)
EMails related to 2FA and account recovery never arrive either from Instagram.

Instagram locked by account for posts that I didn't make (I don't post on IG, nor did anyone else post on my account) and gave me 90 days to appeal the decision. As I had 2FA turned on every recovery method involved an EMail (not my idea).
So I could not appeal and they locked my account forever. To me not a great loss.
It could be cool for GUI programs, when run from a terminal, to show a terminal loading screen parallel to the gui loading screen. Totally unnecessary, but cool.
The one thing that annoys me about restaurants and other crowded places... is the insistence on playing music to attempt(?) to cover the sound!

That’s exactly it.

We have found that a lot of the thinking behind locking feature flags behind enterprise pricing is that there’s a perception that providing those features always comes with an increased support load. Or that you only need these features if you have lots of money to spend anyway. Neither have proven true for us.

Sometimes enterprise pricing is to offset the costs of and somewhat conceal that lack of focus on those features. It’s exceedingly ridiculous in 2024, for example, to have to email a support contact the SAML certificate to setup SSO. (In our case, we run away from those kinds of providers anyway.)

In direct reply to u/contrast: Of course there are some areas where we purchase the enterprise option because it’s the only thing available (our ERP for example), but that’s becoming rarer than it used to be. Where it becomes a deal breaker we usually find that the competition is happy to have us. Alternatively we make our own solution variously on platform agnostic primitives like S3 (or S3 API-compatible options), as a custom app in our ERP, or by using (and/or sponsoring) FOSS upstreams for commercialized source-available products. Being a customer that typically doesn’t need to talk to sales or support seems to make us a more profitable customer, and there can sometimes be room to negotiate there.

Edit to add: We don’t necessarily position ourselves as an enterprise grade provider. We tend to avoid engagements like that purposefully. Rather, we position ourselves as a trustworthy provider that takes their work seriously. We don’t find enterprise branding particularly helpful, and we aren’t oriented toward a sales culture or pushing to grow the business every single quarter. We prefer to simply do a good job and earn the trust our customers place in us. That does mean we need to operate with an enterprise grade focus in some areas, but that doesn’t mean we can or want to pay enterprise grade prices for every single thing we need.

We target mainly small businesses. Many of our customers want something different than what is frequently not-even-bargain-basement service that they had before. For example, we manage many customer domain names. Many of our customers have been burned in the past by web designer sole-props saying “yes” to any business that comes at them, but forgetting or not knowing to do things like annual WHOIS contact reviews, properly offboarding resold accounts, not implementing strong MFA, staying on top things like the recent DMARC changes, etc. These businesses deserve top notch service just as much as an enterprise, so we strive to do that for them. Unfortunately rendering that service frequently requires tools or features presumed to be desired or needed only by large enterprises.
What a cool project - getting to build an educational particle simulation system that is fun to play with and possibly inspiring ideas and career directions of who knows how many others.

For me and I bet of lot of others it’d be a dream to work at a place like HARC.
Ok… I really don’t see how that changes the fact many people happily have an apartment as their home.

> test libraries only

Typically runs during build (unit tests), just like annotation processors.

> compile time only libraries (hello lombok?)

Right, annotation processors. This is what we're discussing.

> transitive dependencies that may not be used during runtime (or run only in rare code paths)

Irrelevant. If they are compromised they will just set themselves up as an SPI and run on JVM start.

When each user can personalize the results themselves, you make SEO completely impractical because they can no longer target a single monolithic algorithm controled by one entity. Websites would actually have to have organic appeal to users, who get the final say to hide away bad sites from the results page (looking at you, Quora, Pinterest, and Fandom).

Good for you, sounds like a comfortable place to live. The concepts of the city and the condominium aren’t going anywhere though. What a strange idea, humans living together, right?

I get it, I love gardening too, and balconies don’t really cut it for me either.

Cities have existed for as long as written history has. They can only get so wide before there’s pressure to build up. What’s the alternative?

> When I've built my current home

Vanishingly few people have the financial privilege to buy, let alone build, anywhere near a city, I’m sure you’re aware.

There simply isn’t a world where every single person can live in a PV-powered, water tank backed up fortress, with ample setbacks to keep your neighbours away. That’s far more dystopian to me than any “you’ll never own anything” boogeyman.
Honda had a Civic GX CNG model in the 2000s. Home fueling was possible with a fueling device, though refill times were on the scale of L1 or L2 charging.

A number of transit authorities ran CNG buses in the 1990s, but reliability and tolerance to hot weather was an issue. Toronto ended up re-engining a number of its CNG buses with diesel.

Not all places have NG infrastructure, and many parts of North America are extremely rural.

In summary, reliability and overhead cost of building out pipelines for not much gain are the issue.
