The difference between address A and address A+1 is one byte. By definition.

Some hardware may raise an exception if you attempt to retrieve a value at an address that is not a (greater than 1) multiple of a byte, but that has no bearing on the definition of a byte.

Yes, I suspect I've made a distinction without a difference. You're right.
Mains will still kill you, even if its not 3.3kv or what was needed to run a CRT.

Its always best to work out where the mains PSU is, and either cover/isolate it so that you don't touch it by accident. Even if turned off, there is a non-insigificant risk that there is either mains power lying around or some other large charge/current ready to bite.

THe back of the inlet is also tends to be a hazard, so be really careful around there too.

> I’m not sure. The specific airspeed velocity of an unladen Eurasian blue tit hasn't been studied or widely documented in the same way that birds like swallows have been. It would likely depend on many factors like the bird’s weight, wing shape, and wind conditions. If you’re looking for general information about bird flight or blue tits, I can help with that!

I am developing a game called Astral Divide, which has in common with Factorio to have factories and a tech tree.

Until this week, I had a fancy tree visualization similar to the article's content (except that the location of the nodes was hardcoded). I spent quite some time to implement it and get it right, and it was difficult to maintain and update when adding new content.

Also, one feedback that I got from early testers is that this is confusing, and they didn't know how to read it.

I think that the main problem is that in such a graph, it is difficult to know if a branch means "A is an ingredient to make B" or "A is a machine that you can use to make B".

I spent time this week replacing it with a dumb list showing individual recipes in the form of an equation like "A = B + C", and I find it not only easier to understand, but also way cheaper to maintain.

That may have been true a long time ago in the age of CRT (picture tube) televisions but anything with a flat screen contains a bog-standard switching power supply with a bunch of 450V-or-so capacitors which will give you a nasty bite but not much more than that. In CRT sets it typically [1] wasn't the discrete capacitors which posed a problem but the CRT itself which was used as a smoothing capacitor for the HT power supply. The in- and outside of the back of the tube were (are) covered with a conducting paint (e.g. 'Aquadag' [2], a colloidal graphite coating) with the inside connected to the HT power supply and the outside connected to ground. That 'internal capacitor' can keep its charge for a long time. As to whether it 'can kill you' that seems to depend on a lot of factors ranging from the discharge path, physical condition of the subject and more. There are many reports on people getting zapped who describe it as 'a nasty jolt' but survivor bias means this is not what you should go by - just avoid getting zapped by discharging the tube.

[1] there are exceptions, e.g. older vacuum tube sets which used a mains-driven EHT circuit with discrete capacitors

They are focusing on UX for the next release though, and UX issues can be discussed in the Inkscape UX Gitlab repo.

Nah the best ones were the Majorette cars. They had builtin suspension and would sit generally higher than Both matchbox and Hot Wheels. It gave them a less "racy" look out of the box than Matchbox and Hot Wheels but you would just compress the suspension by hand when moving them anyway if you wanted.

And that suspension allowed them to roll much better anywhere, inclusing outside in the dirt.

Also most Matchbox and Hotwheels ended up with bent axle from use while the suspension of the Majorette [1] would usually limit the risk of bending the axle unless you were crushing it.

On first day usually the Hotwheels would roll best followed by Matchbox then Majorette on perfect surface. After tear and wear[2] it was the exact opposite horder with Hotwheels wheel dragging on the ground and wheel arches with their bent axle, Matchbox dragging mostly on the wheel arches with the axle also bent a little and the Majorette would be mostly unscathed.

Obviously YMMV it really depends if you used them on a mat/carpet, on a table or outside in the dirt and how careless you where. I still have some matchbox and hotwheels in pristine conditions because they were supercars or racing cars and I wouldn't have used them outside in the dirt.

[1] it was really a very simple design with one U shaped steel wire that would act as a spring for all 4 wheels.

[2] hotwheels axle were junk and would bend just by looking at the toy with too much intensity

My opinion is Postgres was designed by software developers for software developers. The split on “which relational database to use” in my career has almost always been perfectly split between SWE vehemently demanding pgsql for the feature set, and the sysadmins having to support maintenance and production availability preferring MySQL.

One of the few things I’ve enjoyed with the move into devops and companies forcing previously “pure” developers into operational roles was their discovery that Postgres was utterly horrible to administer at a systems level. Apparently us lowly sysadmins may have had a point after all.

This is a bit tongue in cheek but really not far from my lived reality. When the focus is on features and “correctness” at the near total expense of sane systems tooling folks can develop some myopia on the subject. So many arguments with devs on my teams over this subject that were utterly horrified to find we were running MySQL for a given service.

Open source projects tend to fix the pain points its contributors experience, and I assume there were not too many contributors wanting to deal with the boring work of making administration and easy task - it’s thankless “sideways” work that won’t result in many accolades or personal satisfaction for most SWEs.

The end users are almost always developers, most of whose experiences in production entail either the equivalent of a docker container level scale system, or are simply given a connection string and the rest is a black box to them. Under those contexts I’d personally prefer Postgres as well and it wouldn’t even be close. When you get into backups, clustering, upgrades, and high availability under extreme load? IMO the story falls apart real fast.
Volkswagen's EV plant is on the brink of collapse
The point that I'm trying to make is that the point of view of a trauma surgeon in a war zone is biased, not because they're bad people trying to spread propaganda but because they have a filtered view of the war: They're seeing a subset of the casualties.

You don't treat dead people in a hospital during a war. They don't get taken to hospital. You treat people "just hurt enough" to require surgery, but not so much that they definitely won't make it with or without surgery...

... such as single gunshot wounds to the head, which are surprisingly non-fatal. There's many(!) stories of people trying to kill themselves by shooting themselves in the head and failing.

The stories told by the people in the article are anecdotes by a select group with a strongly statistically biased view of the world on top of a personal bias against a literal enemy at war with them.

They're probably not wrong and they're probably not lying, they just can't see the whole picture and can't possibly know what an Israeli soldier is thinking our doing at the front line far from the hospital.

A good approach for this is to use pg_upgrade in-place, which should give you a downtime of a few minutes at most. (I have 800GB at work and would expect 1-2 minutes for this.)

I recommend installing PG12 on a temporary VM, duplicating the existing database, and test the upgrade in isolation.

A more complicated approach uses replication, and upgrades the standby server before promoting it to the primary server.

Let’s assume the open source software suite was exactly as capable and performant as Adobe’s.

Unless everything is exactly the same (even the default file format) you’re still going to be better off with “what everyone uses” because you have to share content, and one mistake of sending a GIMP file instead of a PSD isn’t really worth the savings.

Where the open source stuff shines is where you have 10,000 employees who need minor image editing once a month or less; then you can save millions by using GIMP et al.

It’s possible to have a complete open source image setup - https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/about/index.html has done it, for example (and the issues he experiences are worth reading).

I hate to keep doing this to you, but I am yet again an existence proof that you're wrong about this. I've tried and played many sports in my life, on again, off again. Baseball and basketball mostly as a child, a bit of tennis. Lettered in high school in cross country, track (where I did hurdles rather than middle distance), basketball, and volleyball when I changed my mind from track. I did intramural soccer and dodgeball in college. Picked up running again in the Army and got into various outdoorsy stuff. Kayaking. Open-water swimming. Multi-day hikes. Alpine mountaineering. Rock climbing. I had terrible injuries through my late 30s and did next to nothing. In my 40s, picked up lifting, eventually got back into running, have recently started to learn how to surf and skateboard.

I can assure you that, in spite of not really mastering or finishing any of these things and being kind of flaky about it, it has at least lead to very good fitness.

In the same vein, I see no reason you can't simply practice and get in the habit of learning and being curious even if you never master a specific craft.
> A key part of the rationale for removing PGP uploads from PyPI was that you can't in fact know this, given the current state (and expected future) of key distribution in PGP.

I'm not on a macOS machine right now, so can't show you any specific examples, but scattered links/actions across Apple applications still open Safari from time to time (I think Xcode was especially gnarly for a long time), as it seems at one point Apple hardwired the links/actions to open Safari rather than the user set browser. Search for `site:discussions.apple.com wrong browser` in your favorite search engine and you'll get some actual examples.
The head shape is also quite different, as are the ears and eyes. I’m struggling to understand how someone could mix them up.
For those unfamiliar, there's alternatively a standard FOSS tool, graphviz, that's roughly equivalent to what these Wolfram examples do. It has a trivial syntax: this is a complete example that draws exactly what it says,

digraph { a -> b -> c -> a }

Here's minimal syntax for drawing directed graphs with image nodes, in the style the Wolfram example uses:

digraph {
node [label="", style="none", shape="plaintext",
fixedsize="true", imagescale="false",
width=1.0, height=1.0]
copper_plate [image="Copper_plate.png"]
copper_cable [image="Copper_cable.png"]
copper_plate -> copper_cable [label=" 50 trillion"]
}
Can't echo this enough. If you're working on anything that has been connected to residential mains... use a multimeter. They're cheap! Check the power supply for residual voltage from PSU caps. Discharge them safely before working on the equipment!

>The majority of health effects from Chernobyl were from the evacuation, not the accident. Check the WHO reports.

No, 6000 cases of thyroid cancer from Chernobyl were not caused by the evacuation, it was caused by the fallout. And the topic you are trying to dodge is that nations all over europe had to spend money to screen for these cancers for decades after Chernobyl, they had to feed wildlife special food, sanitize large areas of land and so on. The EU even had to pay for a new sarcophagus, despite never haven gotten a single kwh from Chernobyl. And it hasn't stopped costing money yet.

Nothing else (at least in peacetime) that humans do can have such consequences from mistakes made by a few individuals.

We see the same hidden costs in Sellafield, where Norway - who exports power to the UK, they don't get any - are volunteering to pay for Sellafield since an accident at sellafield could have severe effects on food production near Oslo, the capital of Norway. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/05/sellafield-...

Notice how the 2.5 billion pounds of yearly hidden costs I told you about earlier here is described as a "shoestring budget". The hidden subsidies given to nuclear power is found everywhere if you just scratch the surface a little bit.

In summary; precisely because it's not clean, it's also neither cheap nor safe.
The answer to both is probably "because maintainer time is scarce and nobody is interested enough".

If you think that’s bad let me tell you about the time we ran into a bug in memmove.

It had to be an unaligned memmove and using a 32 bit binary on a 64 bit system, but still! memmove!

And this bug existed for years.

This caused our database replicas to crash every week or so for a long time.
I work every day with real-life systems where int can be 32 or 64 bits, long long can be 64 or 128 bits, long double can be 64 or 80 or 128 bits, some systems do not have IEEE 754 floating point (no denormals!) some are big endian and some are little endian. These things are not in the language standard because they are not standard in the real world.

Practically speaking, the language is the way it is, and has succeeded so well for so long, because it meets the requirements of its application.

The problem with SVG is the different demands between browser vendors and graphic editors. Browsers for example don't need pages to be in SVG, but it's unavoidable for proper graphic design tools. That makes the advancement of an open format a lot harder, and AFAIK Inkscape devs have thought of extending SVG into their own format (in a talk at LGM).

So he rammed himself into the gap. And got stuck.

There are multiple problems with that:

1. The code uses internal interfaces, not meant to be used by users of the code.

2. The code might not use the high level public interfaces you are interested in. Those interfaces are meant to be used by users, and tested by tests.

Having said that reading the code itself is often fruitful. Not for example usages, but to just learn how the thing is implemented.
