For anyone wondering why it takes so long to actually switch this stuff out, and the available alternatives to Red 3, I thought this piece from a food dyes company (no relation) was fascinating: https://na.sensientfoodcolors.com/confection/replacing-red-3...

You have to figure that if these guys had a drop-in replacement, they'd be offering it for sale at a high price, so this probably is the best you can do. The process changes and requalification looks like no fun at all. But it also looks pretty doable for a company in this line of business, so maybe you won't see too many color changes on the shelf with this ban.

To use a software development analogy, the average person is a user of health care, not a health care project manager or designer.

Just as the user of an App doesn't need to provide an alternative design when they say "this App sucks", the average user of healthcare likewise has no obligation to redesign the healthcare system when they say "this healthcare system sucks."
Nvidia reportedly prioritizing dual-die Blackwell GPUs with CoWoS-L packaging
This article is actually a translated one. In the original article[1], I talked about commercial open-source and how one can collaborate with the open-source community when running a software business.

This section is moved to the second-to-last section in the posted blog, including:

[QUOTE]

When you read The Cathedral & the Bazaar, for its Chapter 4, The Magic Cauldron, it writes:

> … the only rational reasons you might want them to be closed is if you want to sell the package to other people, or deny its use to competitors. [“Reasons for Closing Source”]

> Open source makes it rather difficult to capture direct sale value from software. [“Why Sale Value is Problematic”]

While the article focuses on when open-source is a good choice, these sentences imply that it’s reasonable to keep your commercial software private and proprietary.

We follow it and run a business to sustain the engineering effort. We keep ScopeDB private and proprietary, while we actively get involved and contribute back to the open-source dependencies, open source common libraries when it’s suitable, and maintain the open-source twin to share the engineering experience.

[QUOTE END]

I wrote other blogs to analyze open-source factors within commercial software[2][3][4][5], and I have practiced them in several companies as well as earned merits in open-source projects.

When you think about it, there are many developers working for their employers, and using open-source software in their $DAYJOB is a good motivation to contribute more (especially for distributed systems; individuals can seldomly need one). I know there is open-source developers who develop software that has nothing to do with their $DAYJOB. I'm maintaining projects that has nothing to do with my $DAYJOB also (check Apache Curator, the Java binding of Apache OpenDAL, and more).

Concretely, Israel will not be caught offguard for an Oct 7-style attack for quite a while. So the macguffin (hundreds of hostages) will probably not come up again.
So sorry for your loss. It is crazy that cancer treatments are so criminally expensive.

The analysis in the comments suggests that UHC pricing is high due to cartel like price fixing. So while they “shell out” it seems like they are playing a shell game to loophole the 85% rule.
Why would fuel melting be possible? The way I'd show it is by having the increased Doppler broadening and thermal conductivity and lots of headroom make that sort of accident impossible.
Sure, this is another self-consistent solution which is discussed at length in the papers referenced above. But the neat thing about non-determinism is that it adds continuity - thus, a guaranteed existence of some self-consistent solution - even when the underlying system is discrete (as in, the ball is only allowed to either enter the wormhole on its own or be knocked off altogether - which is what creates the purported paradox).

There is an argument to be made that Iran and Hezbollah have been degraded, which makes the entire region safer. I'm not going to claim this, as I'm no expert, but there is a an argument to be made.

For the Gazans, the next months and years will be more determinative. Will they get the support and aid they need to rebuild and keep terrorist organizations from running their country? (They should have their own country instead of being effectively an open air prison)
This is often I think a really unsatisfying thing about physics. Usually the qualitative descriptions don't quite make sense if you think very hard about them- and if you dig deeper it's often just "we found some math that fits our experimental data" - and ultimately that is as much as we know, and most attempts at explaining it conceptually are conjecture at best.

When I was a physics undergrad, most of my professors were fans of the "shut up and calculate" interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Ultimately, this is probably just a symptom of still not having yet discovered some really important stuff.

> and then hide the event

Speaking of - hiding events is one of the features of Sectograph[0] I most frequently use. I think local event modifications on shared calendars are another big feature missing almost everywhere. In my case, hiding events lets me just sync the shared family calendar synced directly to my watch, and just hide the events I don't care about, as to not clutter the display, without deleting or otherwise affecting what my wife sees on her devices.

[0] - https://sectograph.com/ - may seem like a bit weird gadget, looking at the app screenshots, but it's true value comes from the same circular view being available as a watch face, giving you always-available view of the next 12 hours on your wrist. This is why I started adding bus/tram departures and event buffer times to my calendars - they become useful for quick checks on the go. IMHO, it's the only actually useful watchface on the Android smartwatch market.

Which is exactly why Google had to fuck it up with their Watch Face Format idea, aka. Manifest V3 For Smartwatches, aka. removing "smart" from "smartwatch". Fortunately, I'm not forced into it until my current watch dies.

Their usage was finite.

So if cloudflare’s offer is really unlimited and free, they haven’t exceeded it.
It's impressive how the modern tactic is to turn everyone into a victim. Even the wealthiest person in the world, who also has power even beyond their wealth - even they use the tactic.
Everything else aside, this is an absolutely fantastic development and I really hope the ceasefire holds and all hostages are released.

I just fear this will cause western media and politicians to and declare the crisis to be over (after it had began on Oct. 7, of course absolutely out of the blue and without any context...) and go back to pretending everything is back to normal. Never mind that Gaza is still in ruins, the west bank is still being annexed, Israel still has the dual role of "all authority, no obligations" over the Palestinians, while making it pretty clear they have no vision for them at all, apart from "maybe they just vanish into thin air tomorrow".

And never mind that Israel still has a fundamentalist, authoritarian government that is actively at work undermining democratic structures and civil rights even inside the state - that too with no word of objection from its allies.

We'll see where all of that goes.

I also found Trump's signalling in the whole issue odd. His base and his cabinet is full of the most hard-line pro-israel figures imaginable, but then he goes forward and quotes Jeffrey Sachs and ostensibly pressures Netanyahu into accepting the ceasefire.

Is this just his usual "appear unpredictable by all means" spiel or does he have a strategy there?
Israel has likely also created multiple generations of anger and hate against themselves. They may have reduced the likelihood of another Oct 7 in the near term, but 50 years is not something I would count on

This never really works in practice, far too many variations and compilation differences between distros. The Linux Standard Base was an attempt to do this and it went.... no where.

> (because glibc is forwards compatible, but not backwards compatible).

I've lost count of times I've had "portable" binaries not work because I'm using a newer version of glibc and the binary was compiled for Ubuntu/Debian.

The only "standardised" way of making native Linux apps portable and "work for life" is to use the thing that worked in the server space, containers, Flatpak being the vendor-neutral and more widely supported for desktop apps.
CRISPR was obviously commercializable, most academic research is quite a bit further from commercialization and some tiny portion ends up being extremely valuable way downstream nonetheless.
Slightly hesitant to jump in since pfdietz definitely knows more about this than I do... but...

Cooling typically means things like maximizing surface area, minimizing the thickness of the object being cool, etc.

Maximum neutron density presumably happens in a sphere, which is coincidentally the shape that minimizes surface area.

The whole point of a nuclear reactor is that it heats up, and you can convert that heat into useful fuel. Presumably that means you need to carry quite a lot of heat away per volume. Presumably that means putting the fuel into a spherical shape really doesn't work that well.
And they improve room acoustics a decent amount, making the space that much more pleasant.
Israel is definitely more secure, because of the on front confrontation with Iran and its proxies.

1. Hezbollah suffered heavy blows and lost significant political and military power in Lebanon. Didn’t retaliate nearly as heavy as feared.

2. For the first time Israel struck with its military directly in Iran and showed real abilities by destroying most of Iran’s air defenses.

3. As a result of the two points above and other reasons, there was significant shift of powers in Syria which led to Assad regime collapse (significant amount of supplies to Iran’s main proxy Hezbollah went through Syria), but the affect of the regime change in Syria is yet to be determined.
There were many homeless people on the streets of Tokyo every time I went in the 2000s, building little cardboard homes every night and taking them down every morning.

Thank you, I am riddled with self-doubt sometimes but working through it by facing it instead of avoiding it.
I find that the real benefit of using honey is that it actually has a fairly strong taste beyond just being sweet, and for me at least, this means that I end up using less of it (basically stopping before it'd overwhelm the taste of whatever it is I'm actually trying to eat).
Java had restrictions on cross-domain access just like Javascript does and Flash did.

Users could grant applets additional permissions - but that also granted them local permissions (like reading files) which were unambiguously a security risk.
And contributing back is one of the approaches to maintaining open-source dependencies. I have described how to deal with OSS dependencies in [1] (yet to translate it :P).

Another aspect to this, for recent games I imagine on a certain level it's on the original developer to implement things for their games sold through the GOG channel. There is a spreadsheet [1] of games where the GOG version has lesser functionality or has been left behind compared to others, usually steam.

This is one of my problems with the "PC gaming = steam" attitude that has become prevalent, PC as a platform is broad and varied, and if you're going to sell your product on multiple stores without making clear that they're different then you really should support them, otherwise be honest enough to only sell where you are prepared to. I'd say managing expectations and who's responsible only gets muddier when you're involving compatibility across different windows versions, hardware generations, or different OSes entirely.

> Where do you find these places though?

Thinking about the best jobs in my tech career, in one case I made a list of companies that were biking distance from my house, in another an ex-classmate recruited me, in another a recruiter cold-called after I moved to a new state.

Beyond "being lucky" I'm not really sure how to generalize those experiences, though I will say that if you can identify things that you value differently from most that may help you find opportunities that are undervalued.

On the flip side, as I've gotten older I think I've gotten better at recognizing when an organization is a poor fit and having the confidence (and the savings) to turn it down or walk away even if the position is high-status, highly-paid, and/or seems like a perfect fit on paper. That can be especially hard if everyone from your family to your coworkers is telling you you're crazy.
Oh please. Israelis could have voted in a different party/leader that would have taken another path. West Bank settlement expansions could have been halted and reversed (to a sensible degree of course). These are bread and butter suggestions that everyone who thinks honestly about this conflict sees clearly.

There are of course many more suggestions I didn't state. To pretend that there was just no way to avoid this is shameful.
Steam can already use bwrap (Flatpaks sandbox system) with its own runtime to accomplish this, but why bother when you can just target Win32 and have it work out the box.

Outside of graphic and input, game engines make use of very few native APIs compared to applications as they're made to be portable with consoles.

OpenAI projects don't work very well compared to Anthropic (which has its own limitations as is).
I'm not going to comment on the covid handling situation. That goes beyond partisan politics and I believe that people's rights were violated on both sides by both groups of people.

The reason that people have been exposed to dangerous thinking is because the authorities that are supposed to protect us didn't do a good job with their messaging. The constant back and forth schizophrenic nature of many broadcasts and the condescension they carried pushed people into that.

It's a good reason why trying to lock down people was not a great idea in the first place. The bigger deal that they made out of things the more they polarized people.
Fun fact - this is how blue raspberry was created as a flavor. Raspberry flavored things were purple, made from a combination of red and blue dye. The red dye (red no 2) was banned. So companies making raspberry flavored stuff just left the red dye out and said "raspberry is blue now" and we all went "shit yeah it is, always has been! why would raspberry be anything other than blue?"
> In other countries and cities insulated from these changes, the criticisms fall flat.

Yes and no. Much of the world does a better job with their cities than the U.S., and as a result there is a little more demand for that type of development.

But overall, preferences are shockingly similar across cultures.

Anywhere people have the means to afford automobiles, they tend to buy them and increasingly embrace a suburban life style, at least at an aggregate level. If you look at new construction in places like Western Europe or China, a lot of new development is very similar to what you see in the U.S., with a bit of local flavor thrown in.
Funny you mention Musk, I checked out a stack of science textbooks from the library and have started to reimagine a lot of things based on them.

That's a great summary. I wrote a few significant flask apps many years ago as well and I'm a huge fan of SQLAlchemy. My flask apps were greenfield so I ended up building crappier versions of alot that Django provides. I still enjoyed it but I wasn't as productive. But with a legacy integration, it would be hard to beat SQLAlchemy (I think its great for greenfield too). I've basically landed on your comment above as well.

The difference is, of course, that only one of those countries CONSTANTLY bangs on about being the "free" world, about "free" markets, about how not saying the n-word is censorship etc.

In short, it's only hypocritical for one of those countries.

In both cases though, for normal citizens your own country and it's companies are far more dangerous than some random country halfway across the globe.
it only works with other white collar people who have heard the same jargon, normal people in the real world just won't understand what you're saying, so it's just bad communication
Perhaps weakened them from an equipment & infrastructure standpoint - along with the rest of Gaza - but not from a manpower standpoint: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-14/blinken-s...

The right way to fight an independence movement is to either do so from within/in a more targeted fashion, or barring that, meet their demands in some shape or form. Escalating the violence to the point where you’re destroying and displacing a people might settle things down in the short term, but the movement will not die, and will more than likely grow.
Medicare chooses the oldest (over 65), Medicaid chooses the poorest (who are more likely to have issues that went untreated and got worse) and most severely disabled, and Veterans' affairs chooses the ones who gave their bodies to Uncle Sam to be pushed out of planes, deafened in tanks, and have their backs wrecked with giant packs marched for several hours a day.

In other words, all patients that private insurers are likely delighted not to have on their books.

Good points there. Still not sure how much the ouster of Assad was connected with the war (though no doubt that the weakening of Hezbollah must have contributed a lot to it) but it definitely changed the playing field.
Then your reply above to me was a red herring and as such a bad faith reply.
