Heh, if you call few meaningless villages per day winning. Whats really happening is decimation of russian armed and naval forces (and young population) dramatically to the point where russia is regional power at best, not any form of superpower anymore and its weapons are often considered as subpar. They almost emptied massive cold war stockpikes of more sophisticated technology.

Which seems to be US plan since beginning, give enough support to make them bleed but not really corner them existentially to trigger nuclear strikes.

We can see a massive success here, mostly due to very predictable russian stupidity and primitive emotions at controlling positions. Well done CIA, well done indeed, hopefully this will make world a better place in the future. But it can easily backfire too.

>20 years ago, when I started with databases, I found natural to map a user object in my software with a unique 'user' table with many columns. (Excel style)

It's only when I discovered how things were implemented and the required space and combinatorial complexity that the 4NF started to make sense.

I think the natural 'naive' approach is to have many columns with redundant information inside.

At some point, with more experience, we see how this system is harder to maintain (burden on the code logic) and how much space is wasted. I discovered 4NF (without giving it a name) by myself to solve those issues.

The problem is that we teach 4NF to people that never implemented code with databases and had to solve the problems it generates if you only have multiple columns. So the examples seems artificial.

When for the first time I saw 4NF in my lectures, it was easy as I knew all the issues without.

There was an article about the word enshitification, what you describe the real life example: you are paying a premium price for a product with a lowering quality every year that goes by. Fighting labelling fraud is the correct answer.

If it is written extra virgin olive oil that means a certain oil quality expected in terms of taste. For me that means I can enjoy a non rancid oil on my tasteful tomatoes with real mozzarella di buffalo, and that is a world of difference with making the same salad with tasteless but "tested on rats safe" products

That would have cost probably even more than restoring it. It might have been extremely criticized by the public, as a funding grave, a bottomless pit swallowing a lot of funding for foreseeable future. The grandest these days is ... very grand. So grand, that there is no other building worldwide achieving it yet. We have learned a lot and would be capable of a lot, if there was a need to.

Some people just smell bad and taste bad.
This does two things:

1.) Add an alternate way of specifying the time zone, which is possibly inconsistent with the time zone already specified in the time stamp, so there are multiple ways this might or might not be handled. Roughly 1/3 of the RFC seems to deal with that.

As the RFC tries to avoid saying: Do not use RFC9557/IXDTFs under any circumstance for any kind of information which will be used for security purposes; implementations will disagree what time stamp an IXDTF represents.

2.) Saying which calendar the time stamp actually refers to.

This does not provide a way to fix the "I'm actually referring to a fixed calendaric event and if the time zone changes, I don't want that event to shift" problem.
the article is not the reality tho

Some people experience extraordinary high levels of stress in an interview setting. From your comment, I suspect that you are not one of them and might have trouble imagining what these levels of stress feel like.
Nah. This looks nothing more than a wrapper for bash scripts. I can easily write helper scripts which does exactly what you described above. I don't understand the need of using a whole different tooling when I can run scripts natively on my machine(s)

SpaceX Gets US Contract to Expand Ukraine's Access to Starshield
As someone who used Qute for a long time:

* Python is much slower than SBCL (yes, even if rendering is done by Blink); including the lack of threading

* Bookmarks are pure crap, they don't have tags nor directories to sort them better

* Less hackable (e.g. something that should be possible in Nyxt: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3933)

* Massive gaps: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2328 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2492 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/5731 (!!!)

* Per domain/URL settings never progressed further than the initial batch of properties: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3636

* Adblocking is better than hostfile but still missing a lot compared to uBlock (https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/6480). No script blocking matrix like uBlock "advanced mode" at all.

My impression is that it has been stuck in bug fixing/dependency churn for a long time now. Switched to Firefox while waiting for Nyxt to be usable (apparently, Nyxt 4 will be it).
This is a valiant attempt at resolving an extraordinarily difficult problem, but it falls far too short. Just as an example, I am very happy to see that they address alternative calendars such as Arabic and Hebrew calendars. But they only address representing specific points in time as Gregorian dates, and then suggesting to alternate
-calendar-aware applications that these specific Gregorian dates should be shown in this alternate calendar. This does not enable, eg, setting somebody's birthday as 18th of Tishre and having the calendar show an alert every year. Nor does it allow setting a date on e.g. 25th of Shaaban, considering that we don't yet know on which day the 25th of Shaaban will fall on the Gregorian calendar.

The only real problems that this RFC solves, are problems that have already been solved in extensions to ISO 8601, for example in popular Java libraries.
There is a grain of truth to this, but, if not the experts, who to trust? Your grumpy auntie/uncle? It seems equally bad for different reasons.
> It's impossible to do graphics in pure C, so what are the alternatives

Plenty of other comments have already disputed this. It's a reasonable mistake to make, especially if your experience is with more recent technologies and languages.

All the same if reminds me of this perennial quote from a man who really couldn't just use C for everything;

> On two occasions I have been asked, — "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

- Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1864), ch. 5 "Difference Engine No. 1"

Although I don't start new projects in C very often, I'm acutely aware how it's not turtles all the way down (as the logophiles believe), but rather C. With some infrequent exceptions the whole tower of abstraction was written in C. SDL is written in C, the compiler? C, the Linux kernel is written in C, the graphics driver was written in C, the GPU firmware was C. It might be unfeasible for you to get by without writing these yourself, but with enough C and somewhere to sit you can move the earth.

(Of course all projects have a smattering of other languages and with great effort you can bootstrap from Forth or handwrite assembly or whatever, but you can do it all in C, and very likely that's what happened.)
These look so retro and left field now, but back then it felt like the future. Minidiscs were so cool. No skips, writable, small, high tech.

It was expensive and not as easy to just use everywhere like tapes were though.

Unfortunately Sony back then had a habit of building new proprietary formats all the time. Their memory card thing, the UMD the replaced the minidisc, etc. A fine product but it would have been better as an open standard!
Water is practically a miracle in itself. Reasonable range between freezing and boiling, simple structure, polar solvent and non-flammable.

The hydrogen bonds allow lots of interesting processes, and it gets used in many many foundational biological functions as hydroxyl groups.

The chemistry of such a simple molecule is difficult if not impossible to replace, and if you have it, the processes that we are familiar with are already efficient enough that there wouldn't be an advantage to not using them.

Is it possibly there are configurations of life, such as not using either DNA or RNA? Sure. Is it likely that we wouldn't recognize that it is life? I doubt it very much. Aside from virii which likely devolved from living things rather than forming along side them, it's not hard to make a distinction at all.
A quick reading of this. It applies to not only physical products but also software and CAD files too. Free and open-source software "that is developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity" is exempt.

However, where software is supplied in exchange for a price, or for personal data used other than exclusively for improving the security, compatibility or interoperability of the software, and is therefore supplied in the course of a commercial activity, this Directive should apply.

Types of damages which people have a right to claim compensation (through national courts) also include:

death or personal injury, including medically recognised damage to psychological health;

destruction or corruption of data that are not used for professional purposes.

Plagiarism Accusations Surface over 2024 Nobel Prize
There are many catacombs in Paris. Nobody knows how deep the system goes. They were there before Haussmann, before the Normans, before the Goths, before the Romans, perhaps even before the Gauls. Your idea of what is French, however, is not what is buried underneath in the collective unconsciousness of the city, what supports it, but instead the reproduction of what people want to believe represents the city. But the Notre Dame no longer exists, it was a symbol of the power of a Medieval state. Paris today is a city of malls, broad avenues and apartments. We kid ourselves to believe that putting it back will "continue" its history: the history is buried under the immediately visible surface, its waiting for you to get lost in it. If we could build something that might unearth that history, perhaps it might be possible to begin to remake the city of Paris once again.

The trend to SUVs also exists in countries where SUVs aren't exempt from stuff similar to CAFE. Consumers overwhelmingly prefer SUVs and large, heavy vehicles. They're the single most popular segment of cars in essentially any market that can afford them.

I wish it weren't so, but the revealed preference of the median car buyer is to simply buy as much car by the ton as they can afford.

Salish Sea human foot discoveries
Falcon 9 is still not fully reused - upper stage is disposable. SpaceX would have launch dominance more or less same as it has even without reusability: it's success is in technology optimised for cost and reliability vs maximum performance, and vertical integration whereas little or nothing from legacy aerospace suppliers, is used. SpaceX became an industry leader by about 2017 which was before reusability really worked for them.

While sure, it is a must to go way past the previous state of the art in cost and volume. It's just that the state of the launch industry outside of SpaceX was so sad it didn't take much to thoroughly disrupt it.

I don't really like it?

Adding a human readable timezone string in addition to the existing numerical offset is just creating opportunities for inconsistencies between the numerical and string values. Now there is extra special syntax for whether the application MUST act on detected inconsistencies, or whether it's safe to ignore it. Better to avoid defining an inconsistent format in the first place.

Projecting the timestamp into a specific calendar seems more like a localization problem than something that should be specified in the timestamp itself.

Adding support to bundle custom metadata key:value pairs into timestamp strings also seems misguided? Let timestamps be timestamps, if you need a more use a proper type instead of passing around timestamp strings.

edit: I can see the reasoning for the proposal, but I think it just doesn't get there. On the one hand it adds some confusing complexity to what is otherwise a very simple format to deal with. On the other, it's clearly not going to be sufficient for developers of complex non-gregorian/multi-calendar applications.

I can’t speak to the public system. My visa requires me to carry private insurance, so I have only used the private system.

It’s a breath of fresh air. I’ve had to wait a week or two here and there for exams and tests, sure. My preferred hospital system has a great app where I can book doctor appointments (€15) and see results as soon as they’re available. The system knows what my copay is and I pay it on my way home. That’s the end of it; there are no inscrutable bills in the mail months later for hundreds or thousands.

Here’s an example: due to family history, my doctor recommended an MRI. When she saw my horrified face she told me not to worry. I booked it, got a text from my insurance company a few days later with the approval, and had the exam a week after that. The results were available in the app soon after, including the raw images (not that I have the training to interpret them).

My copay for the MRI was €50. I pay €80/mo for the best insurance available. I’ve never had a claim denial and have never interacted with my insurance company.
