> You can even encode data as a side channel on the power lines themselves. But that would be more expensive and since the separate data lines were already there few designers thought to prioritise security over simplicity and cost.

The security issue isn’t that there are separate data lines, it’s that there’s a data communication channel between charger and device.

So, encoding data as a side channel won’t fix the security issue.
Your earnest desire to be part of America is admirable, and the pitfalls of the system are that much more tragic in light of this. The system failed you, and your attempts to lessen the burden imposed on you and your family are not my own to second-guess, though I would have preferred a better solution for you all that would have allowed you to remain in the country legally without requiring leaving only to return. It would be supremely unfair if you would be denied residency or citizenship due to your actions, as I don’t believe you had any intent to deceive or violate the law, and you very well may not have done either, and I will not besmirch your honor by implying you did. I understand that your first responsibility is to yourself and your family, and I hope you are able to enjoy the holidays with you and yours.
there is generally someone who is king of the hill. the ascendancy of china with her current policies is proof that the "end of history" dream of every nation cooperating within a democratic international order is no better than a pipe dream of xanadu.

we are accountable to the American people. and yes, a huge chunk of influence is due to us having the biggest bombs. other parts are due to continual largesse, from the Marshall plan post-wwii to the continued support of the IMF and World Bank today.

i agree Americans aren't doing as well as we could be. my question is not whether America at the head of the world is doing a perfect job, it's whether specifically Americans will do better under a different system. the chinese one freaking sucks. it's anti-liberty. mainland chinese have no rights to free speech, to bear arms, to equal protection and due process. there is only the party.

flint's water has been clean for four years btw. we spend the balance of our budget on non-military matters. defense is less than one-quarter of our spend. perhaps you should examine why we are lighting so much money on fire, primarily to provide outsized levels of healthcare to people who choose to live poorly and to subsidize the old people who already own most of the wealth in the country. perhaps instead, we means-test social security. surely we can wait until boomers have spent down the value of their million-dollar homes before we start cutting them checks each month.

the world, the whole world, is a hell of a lot better than it was post-wwii. America has led the world, and most importantly, ourselves, to an age of prosperity that has never before existed. if we want to keep our wealth, our liberty, our way of life, it is essential we use any means necessary to keep any other nation from ever surpassing us in power.

It can be inferred that they’re making satellites, or at least satellite components. It’s pretty likely that vector math will be involved in some of the software being written in that context. In particular, if anything they write involves navigation (which is a lot of things when it comes to satellites, from actually maneuvering to observation correction) you need to have a pretty good understanding of linear algebra to write good software. And aerospace isn’t an industry where you want someone relying on google for mission-critical logic.

No, you have to first post a job posting at a low salary, preferably with an in-office requirement in a HCOL city. If you get applicants, give them Leetcode Hard and no one will pass.

Then, when no one applies or passes the interview, you claim there is a shortage.

This article doesn't tell you anything you haven't read in tens or hundreds of other "Death of MTV" articles, except possibly one thing: The Real World was the beginning of its death.

That was probably the rubicon, but cracks were in the wall somewhat before then. MTV was dabbling in non-music content with a show called Remote Control I faintly remember from the early 90's and I think I remember Kids in the Hall being played on MTV at one point at that time too.

Really though TV in general hasn't been relevant since the rise of YouTube and social media, and I don't know why anyone is surprised. I guess sports would be the number one reason why people still pay for cable.

You don't often know if a movie is good until you've finished it, because it all depends on how the story came together in the end.

You can spend 2 hours watching a moving, emotional story that teaches you something new about the human condition and the choices we make in our lives.

Or you can spend 2 hours that turns out to be full of plot holes and inconsistent characters, where nothing makes sense in the end and you've utterly wasted your time.

In what universe would you not want to have that information before watching? Especially if you're generally a busy person and only get to watch 10-20 movies a year.

I truly don't understand the attitude of "just pick one", whether it's for movies or other things. That reviews are "micro-optimization". Like, do you just not value your time? Do you not care about quality?

It's not like reviews are always right. But one film with 98% on Rotten Tomatoes vs. one with 45%... that's a really strong signal. Why on earth would you choose to ignore that?

This would prevent abuse of foreigners who are underpaid. It would also allow most of the applicants to go to good jobs (FAANG) which can pay premiums salaries.

Reverse auction is the best way to go. Good for foreigners, good for top companies, economically the best option.
Java is one example out of many, and even in that case the limitations of their generics are largely caused by the desire for backwards compatibility, and it's a well-understood tradeoff.

Go ended up with a mundane take on generics because that is consistent with the design philosophy of the language as a whole. My point is that their mundane take on generics was already well-known and well-understood long before Go itself was even a thing, never mind all the rhetoric about "we don't have generics because we don't know how to do them well". If they ended up with some kind of novel arrangement that avoided complexity issues etc present in other generic type system, I would buy that argument. But when they ended up with the design that was there all along, it doesn't really add up.
"Genius" or "Malevolence"?
For error handling they could add error propagation operator `?` from Rust. In Java it could propagate "throws" from the expression it's applied to the signature of a method that contains it. In Rust it's a bit awkward becuse you need to adjust return type. Since Java tracks exceptions separately it would be completely unobtrusive and ultraconvenient.
If I invested money into a film, I would want its representation in the world to reflect what the movie is about at the very least.
Serious question - what could Spring Boot give me for POC/prototyping that Javalin or Micronaut couldn't? I really struggle to understand why most of Java shops out there have set themselves on the Boot path. Is it technology-based decision or politics?
I bought one and ran their firmware but it phoned home. kept on sending packets to some weird ip address at boot.

Yes, because given time someone clever would have came in and fixed it.

For resources that are supposed to be cleaned up automatically, fixing your operator/finalizer is a better approach. Using this tool is just kicking the can down the road, which may cause even bigger problem.

If you have resources that need to be regularly created and deleted, I feel a cronjob running `kubectl delete -l <your-label-selector>` should be more than enough, and less risker than installing a 3rd party software with cluster wide list/delete permission.
Solaar mostly changes configuration and helps pairing devices, but it's not part of the drovers, so it might not help you. Anyway I dump some info about dongles here just in case, if you find your devices are compatible you might use Solaar to reset the pairings.

IIRC, there are three types of dongles: the old basic ones, that only work with one particular device, the not-that-old "unifying" dongles (they have a red logo with a star or ray of light), and the new ones that are called "bolt" (green logo with a bolt in it).

I have mostly experience with the "unifying" receivers. Those can pair to any "unifying" compatible device, and keep connections with up to 6 devices. Bolt dongles work similarly but with better encryption.
Well almost is doing a lot of heavy lifting, the case is all circumstantial. But I say that both because of a Reddit post that makes a strong case that at least some portion of sightings are a specific model of navy drone, and more so because their being military is the only situation where the government response makes sense to me.

If they were an enemy’s, one would expect them to be shot down. If they were an ally’s, they would need a damn good reason to be here and an even better reason why people can’t know. Maybe they’re a private citizen’s, but I struggle to imagine why a private entity would have a fleet of large drones that they covertly deploy along the coasts, and why our government would abide that. So as I see it, the two options that make sense are that they’re an enemy’s that we can’t shoot down for some terrifying reason, or they’re ours.

I don't see how you could avoid logic and do literally anything useful that is not animalistic by nature. I can only imagine how <human-incomprehensible positive adjective> it would be to be able to remember more than 7 things, use more than one thread and grasp complex ideas by simply looking at their schema for a second, all that on average. Instead we slowly follow triсkles of data, constantly being carried away by nuances and distractions, getting overwhelmed and tired in no time. Our natural "logic" sees god behind a lightning and witch behind an accident, please don't defend it.

deeply anti-human

What's wrong with that, just look at us going, globally. Any pro-human thoughts, really? Never understood this clinging to the horribly limited nature of humanity only because it has some relatively nice pockets (which usually correlate with deep thought and negatively with the lack thereof).
You have to first answer why few locals outside Stanford-Berkeley-MIT-CMU are hired out of school. Is it because all non-top-4 schools under prepare students? Is it before foreign workers are that much better? Or is it because companies are looking for underpaid workers they can abuse and keep in a state of limbo?

If CS degrees from non-top-4 schools are not valuable, best to get that out so US students are not studying useless degrees.

That’s what really blows my mind. Why aren’t all thresholds automatically indexed to inflation by default. Especially in tax matters!
This is the bit that I've always found confusing. When it comes to blue collar jobs, people in the upper echelons will gladly advocate the wonders of millions of people entering the job market to compete with Americans.

But as soon as it's their own market that introduces additional competition, they will advocate "just pay people more, the job seekers exist, just not at the wages employers are offering, this extra competition only depresses American wages".

Which one is it? Is it "competition for other classes, no competition for my class please"?
This is why you can't hire anybody competent.

Huge user improvement for me.

I can now ask my phone to call ChatGPT. 100% hands-free. It’s only a few steps less than using the app, but there’s a lot of incremental value to not needing to touch my phone.

Concrete example: I’m driving. I ask Siri a simple question, but it can’t answer it. Previously, if I wanted to use ChatGPT, I’d have to stop, pickup my phone, unlock, open the app, get my answer, then start driving again. I’d never do that. Now, I can just ask Siri to call ChatGPT

And in many other situations "./gradlew run" just doesn't work. Hell, Gradle does not even let you quickly scaffold it without pre-existing knowledge and community advice!

Meanwhile I can 'git clone https://github.com/ryujinx-mirror/ryujinx && cd ryujinx/src/Ryujinx && dotnet run -c Release' and it works on the first attempt (though takes a moment to pull nuget packages, it's a big project).

The Java ecosystem has incredible projects from the technical point of view (GC implementations, OpenJDK's JIT compiler), but the tooling and application packaging and distribution seem like the painful parts.

> "This heightened glycolytic flux leads to higher glucose uptake"

This is a dubious statement. While glycolysis indeed consumes glucose, the amount of that consumption is expected to be significantly lower than through oxidative phosphorylation.

For example, if you deprive cells from oxygen, oxidative phosphorylation gets inhibited and glycolysis kicks in as an alternative metabolic pathway. As a result, blood glucose level goes through the roof. This is what can be seen in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

But it is more complicated than that - when oxygen level drops, the nervous system starts gluconeogenesis as an attempt to compensate for the lack of oxygen by increasing the levels of glucose in the bloodstream. So we have multiple parallel effects going on: lower glucose consumption by oxidative phosphorylation due to the lack of oxygen + higher glucose consumption by glycolysis + higher glucose injection via gluconeogenesis. The net result of that formula is that blood glucose level goes up for almost all patients with hypoxemia.

Still, glycolysis alone cannot explain the effect of metformin. If it was really a glycolysis with such an amplitude caused by metformin intake, people would start to develop lactic acidosis, air hunger, cellular damages, neuropathy, dementia, cancer.

Honestly speaking, the only viable explanation so far is that metformin may cause mitochondria training by mildly and temporary putting a strain on ETC. Like a mild physical activity would do. Anything more impactful than "mild" would lead to an excessive oxidative stress, cellular damages, air hunger, suffocation, and tons of dangerous consequences.

Some papers also claim that metformin inhibits gluconeogenesis thus lowering glucose levels, which is another argument in favor of the "biochemical training by metformin" theory. Mitochondria seem to become more robust after a mild stress environment created by metformin, as if you visited a gym.

It’s frequently explained to mean “universal” but my growing understanding of it is that it means that the wholeness of the faith exists at the local level, meaning that it does not have a dependency on some remote administrator in order to provide the Sacraments, etc.

You didn't name your employer for someone who might be interested. Perhaps visibility is one reason you can't find anyone?

I applied to a similar position locally this year. I far exceed their requirements and experience and I got rejected at the application stage.
And the same goes for nearly all of other places I applied to. Hiring has most definitely changed over the years. They are not just looking for "qualified applicants". There is something else going on.

I never had Bluetooth connection issues with my Logitech hardware, but I wanted mine to work without an OS (i.e. with a Bolt receiver).

Solaar handled the pairing in 30 seconds flat, and I can't be happier. The only thing is, since Bolt doesn't look like proper BT to the OS, battery levels can only be monitored from Solaar itself.
Can you tell us about how you use Go in the small? I like Go, but it doesn't strike me as particularly nimble for scripty use cases like this - error handling is part of it, but I know that's fixable with the Must() pattern.
