Without having put any specific thought into it, I always assumed that while designed in the UK they would be manufacturing them in Asia, so it's a pleasant surprise to find out that you're mostly right - the majority have been made in Wales (part of the UK)!

However some are made in Asia, including China. Quoting Wikipedia (plus the citation links):

> "Most Raspberry Pis are made in a Sony factory in Pencoed, Wales,[19] while others are made in China and Japan.[20][21]"

> [19] https://www.sonypencoed.co.uk/about/

> [20] https://www.zdnet.com/article/14-million-raspberry-pis-sold-...

The second link (20) is from 2017, with headline "Raspberry Pi: 14 million sold, 10 million made in the UK"
A Lexus forum member went through several attempts to physically disconnect from the Toyota cloud and ultimately had to compromise on this, as the hands-free Bluetooth also went through the data communications module and they weren't willing to give that up.

The interesting part is that even though the antennas were disconnected, there was enough RF making it's way through the plastic sides of the module to give him 2-bars of signal strength. Wrapping it in grounded aluminum foil still allowed enough signal strength for transmission when they were very close to a cell tower. GPS signals were also being routed to the communications module over the car's network from the entertainment module (not sure why the entertainment module needs a GPS antenna or location data).

Ultimately they opted-out from data collection using the Lexus app and will rely on legal protections - in addition to disconnecting the antennas.

Two books by Ty Gagne:

- The Last Traverse; Tragedy and Resilience in the Winter Whites

- Where You'll Find Me: Risk, Decisions, and the Last Climb of Kate Matrosova

Each book covers a wintertime climbing tragedy in the NH White Mountains but they're really about human nature, risk management, and decision making. I found both books riveting, devoured each in a few evenings of reading.

The author conveniently forgets that Natives had no concept of land ownership, only land use. Stop using the land and you no longer had any rights to it - it wasn't something 'passed down'.

“Freud, who was famously hung up on childhood complexes, took the view that kissing has something to do with the memory of the pleasures of sucking on your mother’s breast,” the renowned evolutionary psychologist Prof Robin Dunbar writes in his 2012 book, The Science of Love. “But the argument really doesn’t hold water. After all, if it really is a reversion to breast-sucking, why not just do that?”

because you want to know how much money you got, when, and from whom, and be able to reconcile that with the money you see in your bank account. the detail is that money transfers themselves aren't instantaneous, aren't paid out instantaneously, and aren't always singular - ie you get paid by the company, but also pay taxes on that, so there are three parties to that one transaction. for a single person, the overhead isn't super justified unless you're a total nerd about it (nothing wrong with that!), but if there's an accounting department with an bunch of peopke, they can more easily keep track of issued invoices, payments due and payments recieved, for example.

it's not than all that's impossible with single entry, it's just way messier, so the overhead of double entry is considered better because the books can be more fully audited.

if you're a freelancer, you may get paid net 30 or 60 or even 90. but you still need to know how much money you have right now, how much money you're owed; financial health, P&Ls etc.
We've seen an explosion in time spent looking at second-hand information online in recent decades - social media & news. I think a healthier way is to get information direct from the source, and from going and doing things.

I think some people responded to the deluge of slop by clutching out their connection to reality and relying solely on a couple of third parties for their worldview.

There's no point in arguing with someone who looks at Elon Musk and cannot see success because they can only look at him through a thick lens of ideology and tribalism. Five, ten years ago, some these same people probably thought he was in their tribe and idolized him then. Ten years ago, they probably liked Trump and his shows too.

That has not been my experience. SQL is a fully fledged programming language so there's very little that you can't express this way.

What are you doing that requires dynamically building a query?
That makes no sense on either point!

> The cover and that things that go on it are as much a part of the book as any other page.

Indeed, and a book should not be judged by any single page alone. Not the cover, nor page 39.

> This saying is so outdated and comes from a time when all book covers were essentially the same.

If all covers were the same, there would be no temptation to judge the book by it, and thus no reason to invent a saying cautioning against it, so I doubt this history.
The opposite of docs is also expertise: learn through experience, then have a career moat. It’s why Microsoft and Apple get away with secret API, which also gives them some leverage. Docs tend to be good only in the post-prototype, pre-dominance phase of rapid growth. Or when the author cares about users.
I read a comment, possibly on HN, about a college professor who tried an experiment on information recall. The first group had just raw information, and the second had the information crafted into stories with simple, singular ideas each. The second group by far did better at recalling the information than the first. People are story driven creatures, there's a reason our oldest epics are stories. That's why self help books follow this formula, because it works.

And like the other commenter said, there is a huge difference between reading something, understanding that something, applying that understanding, and finally mastering that application.
I tend to agree.

The main trouble with SQL is that the query parameters are mixed in with the query, which results in string escape problems. That dates from when people were expected to query a database by hand from SQL, which is sometimes useful.

For machine generated use, SQL queries should consist of a well defined fill-in-the-blanks system, with a text SQL query and a machine data structure. Something like this:

Query in SQL text as a constant string:

"SELECT foo FROM BAR WHERE name=NAME1"

Parameters: key/value pairs in a safe native format for the language in use.

{"NAME1" : "Smith"}

That gets you out of the curse of character escaping and SQL injection,
the only real problem. It avoids trying to rewrite SQL in yet another ORM.

Microsoft has something which works this way, but it's unnecessarily clunky.[1]

Thank you for posting this guide, although I've stopped playing WoW, I would have loved to immortalize my druid with a 3D figurine. I think there was a service for this a long time ago but I think the cost for the size was the reason why I didn't buy it. Do you have any advice on how to paint a figurine? For some reason Warhammer 40k has been popping up on my YouTube feed and I've been watching a lot of Warhammer figurine videos. It seems like you need a lot of specialized brushes and skill to make it look nice.

Nothing is wrong with Vue.js, but saying that it is less complex than React is just false.

Maybe Angular is still used a lot, in legacy projects. I just mean for starting a new project, imo most people will choose React or Vue in 2024, right? I never used Angular myself, but have used both React and Vue a lot.

With React Server Components, you can have your cake and eat it too, by sending only the necessary HTML to the browser (thereby having good performance and SEO) but also hydrating with more interactivity if necessary. And I'm not sure where you think CSS in JS means you don't learn CSS, I'm not sure how you'd use it otherwise... Either way, there are CSS in JS (TypeScript) libraries that compile down to regular CSS classes, like PandaCSS, so again, you can have your cake and eat it too.

> The actual row numbers are never exposed from the library API. Application logic should not need to know about them.

This point confuses me. If we're thinking about a web server, you'll pass your data to the frontend with a row ID, so that they can refer to and modify that data in another request? How would it work otherwise?

Am I missing something? I can think of some use cases, but this limitation cuts down on the uses I'd have for this massively.
I'm fine with using it for personal projects. For anything with a larger team, they'd probably look at me like I was crazy if I suggest anything that didn't involve React, at least in these parts.

The basic idea is that an exception is just data, so you can just treat it as part of the return type. Most of the rest of it is constructs that make it easy to work with, which mostly means making things behave similarly to the way exceptions work. But with the option to just treat it as regular data rather than complex catch try rethrow logic.

Checked exceptions were inferior to this because they was outside of the type system; saying “This type or three possible exceptions” was so painful people stopped using. With this approach it’s just a type and has whatever name you like.
Neither huge, nor if.

Cox is a very good apple that is infamously prone to pick every apple disease known. Golden Delicious has the same problem, good flavor, disappointing as tree without using chemicals.

Rubinette is a medium sized yellow apple, streaked in reddish brown. Not particularly eye-catching and also prone to fungal diseases. But Rubinette has a secret, is a seedling of Cox x Golden delicious, and its flavor is fantastic.

Modern apples with not so sophisticated flavor but better resistance can be much more satisfactory.
I started with Vue and switched to React, because of better library and TypeScript support. Every other framework pales in comparison to React due to its ecosystem, and I'm not gonna spend time building new packages to bridge that gap when I have my own work I need to get done, so I'll just use React and npm install what I need.
And the most important feature: paying to keep a good ecosystem running and supporting good software.
It's not quite as dangerous as you'd think.

The standard technique is to reserve a big file on the old filesystem for the new filesystem metadata, and then walk all files on the old filesystem and use fiemap() to create new extents that point to the existing data - only writing to the space you reserved.

You only overwrite the superblock at the very end, and you can verify that the old and new filesystems have the same contents before you do.

> If you just wrote your SIMD in CUDA 15 years ago, NVidia compilers would have given you maximum performance across all NVidia GPUs rather than being forced to write and rewrite in SSE vs AVX vs AVX512

NVidia compilers would have compiled your code into something functional, but if you want to approach peak performance you need to at least tweak your kernels, and sometimes rewrite them from scratch. See for example the various MMA instructions that were introduced over time.

Edit: I see somebody made a similar comment and you addressed it. Sorry for the churn.
It's amazing that Microsoft even needs to stoop to that level against their own paying customers. People either like Edge and Bing, or they don't. Often, people are forced to use Windows, relative to office, jobs, or school. There is already a "captive" audience, so the need to push malware and spyware acting code is ridiculous.

Installing all of this unwanted code behind their users backs is not making a strong case to continue to use Microsoft. Instead, people will jump to alternatives as soon as its more viable.

Increasingly easy jump, that various people can make, is to the Android OS. There are increasingly, customized open-source "distros" that can be installed. Prime OS, Bliss OS, Phoenix OS... Particularly for laptops, as many already are using it on their smartphones, so will be quite familiar and comfortable with it.

Then there are the Linux distros aimed at Windows OS users, like PoP! OS, Linux Mint, etc... Microsoft is likely to find itself with increasingly diminished market share, with such unnecessary antics and continual privacy issues.

It could be verified at runtime, but I haven't seen anyone trying to version/hash schemas and include that in the request.

The workaround in practice seems to be to keep the DB behind a server that always™ uses a compatible schema and exposes an API that's either properly versioned or at least safe for slightly older clients.
To be fair it's hard to get rid of the middleman and serve straight from the DB, it's always deemed too scary for many reasons, so it's not that bad.

Reading a book is like a mechanic learning how to work on cars without ever touching a car.

Is reading helpful? Absolutely.

Does it mean you would trust them to work on your car? Absolutely not.

Would you trust a mechanic who didn’t read any books? I sure wouldn’t discount them because of that.

At the end of the day, there is no signal of someone’s effectiveness better than their history of getting results.

Measures like whether you read a book or keep up on a field may be correlated but are largely meaningless.

I like to think of it as "cargo-cult programming", along the lines of the well-known essay by Feynman.
What I like about React is that generally speaking, it has rock solid backwards compatibility support (class components are still supported for example), presumably due to Meta using it at scale such that they cannot scrap everything immediately. Vue, being not used in any large company, does not have the same sense of responsibility to preserve backwards compatibility, it seems. This has its pros and cons though but for many people, backwards compatibility is a big deal.
My “favourite” part about google docs is where if you scroll marginally faster than glacial, large sections of the page just give up and disappear.

You then have to wait for docs glacial performance to catch up and re-render things again.

Global status report on road safety 2023
The Global status report on road safety 2023 shows that the number of annual road traffic deaths has fallen slightly to 1.19 million. The report shows that efforts to improve road safety are having an impact, and that significant reductions in road traffic deaths can be made if proven measures are applied. Despite this, the price paid for mobility remains too high. Road traffic injuries remain the leading killer of children and young people aged 5-29 years.
