> If used clothing is the problem, why not prohibit it altogether? The answer is that countries tried. In 2016, a group of East African countries joined forces to ban imports of secondhand clothing. In retaliation, the Trump administration threatened to remove the countries from the program that is at the core of U.S.-Africa trade policy if they followed through. No surprise that a lobby group representing used clothing sorters backed the move. The only country that stood firm was Rwanda and, to this day, its duty-free apparel benefits under AGOA remain suspended.
That's one of many methods to mine uranium, used when the grades are low and the returns so poor that vast amounts of rock would have to be physically moved to return a kilogram of target ore. It works in particular geologic formations.

Large numbers of in-situ uranium wells were established in the US during the cold war at great expense to ensure some domestic supply, none the less the overwhelming majority of WWII and cold war uranium for weapons was sourced from outside the US and today the bulk of uranium for power is sourced outside the US.

The largest uranium mines in the world do not use in situ leaching, Olympic dam (the largest known single deposit) uses underground mining, specifically sublevel open stoping, to extract uranium, gold, copper, and silver.

Cameco's McArthur River mine is, IIRC, the largest producer (most currently extracted yearly, although not largest deposit) and also, not suprisingly, not an in-situ leach mine, it's underground tunnels with level to level rock grinding bores that drop rock to automated trucks, ground and slurried and then pumped to the surface for further processing some 80 km away at another plant.

Not sure how precisely emergency warnings can be targeted, given that in addition to mobile notifications (and cell towers can cover a large area in rural areas!) they also use channels with a larger coverage area such as TV and radio stations.

It might be unavoidable to warn some unaffected people tuned in to stations located in adjacent states due to that.

> All of recommendations about efficiency seem misguided to me.

I've seldom had to worry about the performance of my scripts. It almost always is dominated by the performance of whatever the script is running. I did have one very notable exception, though. It's kind of embarrassing.

On one project---for "reasons"---I had written several bash scripts to collect system performance metrics to push into Nagios or Graphite. A couple of these had to calculate some floating point, and I was invoking `dc` to do that, as bash only supports integer arithmetic. The script would loop once every 5 seconds or so, iirc, invoking dc each time. One small process every 5 seconds doesn't sound like a lot, but the systems also ran ClamAV---again, for "reasons"---and were already under high load, and that extra process invocation had a noticeable and significant impact on the system.

My workaround was to run a single instance of dc using bash's `coproc` keyword, then redirect all the calculations through the returned descriptors. This had a drastic improvement.

Except... it turns out that dc leaked 80 bytes of memory whenever it read and parsed a float. So, the long-running dc process would eventually get oom-killed. So, I added a check to restart the dc process every 5000 iterations, or something like that.

Which all sounds like a big headache, but for "reasons" this was far easier than getting some other solution into that environment.

I did submit a bug report (2020 Feb 19), and Ken Pizzini (dc's original author, I think) was kind enough to reply even though he wasn't the maintainer. Unfortunately, my patch never got upstreamed.

Then again, who else is crazy enough to use dc as long-running math server?
It was 'ok', it however, gave us the excellent ET:QW which was unbelievably good fun.

The first paragraph is clear to me. There is a law that allows workers to sue employers. There's a group trying to repeal it. Presumably repeal benefits businesses at the expense of workers. A political compromise has stopped the repeal efforts.

To this native speaker, "headed off" is a perfectly cromulent term: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=headed+off Even if it's not something you might hear in everyday speech, I'd say it's commonly used in political journalism.

The article itself is written well enough, provides enough background and context to give you a general idea of what's happening without editorializing. In other words, it's decent journalism.

The issue is generally sorting.

Glass is often dirt cheap to make, and recycling it usually only makes sense if you can match colors and compositions - as if you can’t, the coefficients of expansion will be different and colors weird, making it difficult to make sellable or high quality product with it.

Reusing containers commercially is also usually impossible with the way the consumer market is now structured, as there isn’t any single dominant player, standardized container, etc. in any one market.

At the consumer level though, it’s usually a lot easier - pasta jars are free to reuse for whatever, etc.

Well, of the three mitigations suggested in the article:

1 - Random NAT port allocation

Seems like the answer is "not by default." According to iptables(8), SNAT defaults to using the pre-translated ports whenever possible, so it's up to the connecting client (victim's TCP stack) to randomly select source ports. There is a "--to-ports" option that lets you limit the usable source ports, but it's not mentioned how the ports are selected in that case.

2 - Reverse Path Validation

I'm not really sure how this helps in the described situation. If the attacker and the victim are on the same wifi access point, then both of their traffic will be sourced from the same network interface, so even strict RFC 3704 validation will pass for spoofed packets from the attacker. But for completeness, you can turn that on by setting a sysctl (rp_filter = 1).

3 - TCP window checking

I _believe_ that the vanilla linux kernel does check this by default, as the mentioned adjustments to OpenWRT seem to be removing a non-standard option to disable the TCP window checking

The function gives the same result regardless of the sign of the two components, so there's axes of symmetry around the lines defined by (x ± xi): in the first image that gives four axes on the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines through the origin. The two zoomed images are along the diagonal extending up to the top left and so there's diagonal symmetry visible.

I think that would probably count as it revealing symmetry in the underlying object rather than in the lens, it's not a consequence of rounding or asymptotes or floating point errors or any such.

Paraphrasing the argument of my interlocutor and then immediately refuting it is a common rhetorical device.

Of course people need real medical help. It's easier for them to seek it if they aren't at risk of criminal prosecution. Look up "harm reduction".

That's what the post-WW2 world looked like: the developed countries had booming economies, but the poor countries fell further and further behind. Some even in absolute terms.

Yet, that time is frequently cited as the golden age that people harken back to.
Immigration won't work because of the scale of the problem. It's another concept that was probably based on the flawed UN projections this article talks about. Take a fertility rate of 1 for an easy math example. Most countries aren't this low yet, but it's fair to say that this is the trendline. Once we reach the 'equilibrium point', where your entire population has this fertility rate or, in other words, when the last high fertility rate generation dies off, this would result in your population declining by 50% every ~20 years. And this is an exponential system - you lose 50%, and then 50% of what remains indefinitely every 20 years. And this continues until you go extinct, or start having children again.

So consider what this would look do to a nation's population over just a single human lifetime - 80 years. China would go from 1.4 billion -> 0.7 -> 0.35 -> 0.175 -> 0.0875 billion. That's China going from 1.4 billion to 87.5 million, the size of Germany, in a single human lifetime. The US would go from 330 million -> 165 -> 82.5 -> 41.25 -> 20.625, the size of Chile, over the same time frame. And this process doesn't stop, it just keeps going.

You would need to essentially replace your entire population with immigrants. And of course you don't just need massive amounts of warm bodies. You need skilled, educated, sex ratio balanced (which means more women than men due to differing mortality rates - men get themselves killed far more frequently), people who are capable of speaking at least reasonable English. There simply aren't enough people in the world to fulfill this in practical terms. And this is just speaking from a technical point of view in terms of scale of the problem. I'm intentionally avoiding the more controversial social, cultural, and other aspects involved in such a process. It's all just a nonsolution. Immigration can briefly help patch a small-scale problem, but at scale it's like trying to keep a sinking boat afloat with a bucket.

Thanks for your comment, those are valid points. I come from the industry, having worked for an ETL vendor for 6 years. I've personally witnessed a need for a low-code (graphical) ETL for Python environments. In short, traditional ETLs are GUI ETLs for Java environments while modern data tools are either focusing on the EL part or are code-oriented (dbt). With Amphi, I want to offer a low-code graphical alternative to develop Python-based pipelines. I also believe that modern data stack tools don't effectively address use cases for unstructured data, which is another focus of Amphi (with extensive file integration and RAG support).
As an aside for those not aware, OpenSCAD is CAD software where you describe the models with a programming language. Basically you have vim or some other text editor of choice in one window, write your changes and OpenSCAD detects the write and updates the preview of the model in another window. This obviously lends itself better for tracking CAD model changes in git. You can comment your code and everything.

That said, depending on the model you want to make, it may be much more challenging. Adding fillets, for example, may be not trivial.

In general there are usually rules that prevent cross-forwarding traffic, and thus traffic over wifi is isolated from each client (unless you need to share a home NAS/printer this should remain enabled.)

Most if not all modern routers have this feature, and also the ability to turn off the dumpster-fire that is UPnP and flaky port-trigger mods. Additionally, some add packet marking rules, which is often also used to enforce fair bandwidth sharing. Yet note this can be a nonstandard controversial gray-area.

One could also use a private cert based VPN + Kerberos with firewall client pre-set rules on any un-trusted/open access points.

Abstract: No.
Interesting. I find that Copilot is quite good with the borrow checker, at least if it can "see" the signature of the function that it's calling. Sometimes it inserts an extra "&" where it really shouldn't. That's a no-op, clippy catches it, and I take it out.

But I tend to write my code in a style that easily passes the borrow checker 99% of the time. I keep mutation very local, and rely on a more "functional" architecture. So Copilot is naturally going to write new code in the same borrow-checker-friendly style, which may keep it out of trouble.

When using ChatGPT, I've actually had more luck asking it to write Python, and then to translate the Python into Rust. ChatGPT seems to be better at algorithms in Python, and it's surprisingly good (in my personal experience) at inserting the fine details of Rust types and references when translating.

Rich countries have subsidies for some industries. Agriculture is always a pain point when dealing "free trade agreements". Pain for the poorer country.

Low code ETL tools (informatica, Appworx, talend, pentaho, ssis) were the original services for ELT/ETL. A lot of progress was made to go towards ETL-as-code starting with Airflow/Luigi. Going back to low code seems backwards as this point.
