You don't need Kafka in order to run Debezium. While that certainly is the most common deployment, you can use Debezium also with things like Kinesis, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, or even plain HTTP sinks, all via Debezium Server (https://debezium.io/documentation/reference/stable/operation...). You even can embed it as a library into your application for the highest degree of flexibility.

That said, streaming events into Kafka (or something like it), rather than pushing change events directly to destinations like Snowflake has big advantages when it comes to reprocessing data, setting up additional consumers, etc.

Not sure about node (and I don’t recall it ever being a problem), but chrome supports stack traces through setTimeout just fine.

I’m not sure there are many reputable modules on npm that minify without source maps, and if people aren’t using them I’d consider them to be making a poor technical choice, one that I would correct before contributing to the project.

Diffing two lengthy stack traces to find a divergence is perhaps the fastest way to debug a slew of bug types. Let alone just the ability to instantly click into a file/line even from console prints as you follow the execution path.

And my favorite part is being able to ignore / hide external modules and specific files in chrome’s debugger which allows for stepping through only your code, and evaluating much shorter traces. Something java needed decades ago.

When I do use print debugging I always use console.error to include the expandable stack trace as needed, I can’t imagine how slow it would be to not have that always, and have to resort to stepping and breakpoints to get around.
Although Firefox is still the best to choose from a privacy standpunt currently, I am convinced the time will come where the sponsorship from Google will stop.

What I always wanted from Clang and was not smart enough to understand was how to use it to get an AST or similar so that I could rewrite code.

I was working on a big project with old code that needed a radical overhaul to make it ready for new boost and new C++ versions. It seemed a huge task to do this accurately by hand. I also thought about combining this with some static analysis of a trivial kind - looking for behaviours that are not wrong in C++ overall but were wrong in the context of that project.

I know there are several tools for clang that do rewrites and the unfortunate problem was that clang at the time wasn't able to build that code for some reasons that I cannot remember now. The rewriting tools that were available were not very sophisticated from my memory and made it difficult to do the kinds of changes that I thought would be needed.

So I'm not so interested in being able to compile but being able to parse and then walk the parse tree in some very easy language like python.

I think the answer now might be "libclang": https://pypi.org/project/libclang/

yea, my question was more about whether this is more about the redundant additional electronics in newer cars, or just EV car problem in principle.
To be clear, I explicitly picked this task because my judgement call was that it was going to be faster to use an AI than coding it myself. Checking the generated code was easy for me to do (whether I or the AI wrote it).

I don't know what you mean by "how do these times change if you are coding in a very complex environment", but to restate my original post: I'm fearful that Claude's additional autonomy will allow it to waste money (and time) pursuing useless ideas.

Wait, what? The basic fact it uses most recently generated tokens to predict the next one (or rather the distribution, not the point) seems to contradict that.
The previous time this article was submitted, I did some calculations based on the charts and found[1] that for the NVIDIA 40 and 50-series GPUs, the results are almost entirely explained by memory bandwidth:

Each of the cards except the 5090 gets almost exactly 0.1 token/s per GB/s memory bandwidth.

My understanding is that the Macs have soldered memory which allows for much higher memory bandwidth. The M4 has ~400-550 GB/s max depending on configuration[2], while EPYCs seem to have more like 250GB/s max[3].

So the vision included a tiny minority of land owners.

General suffrage in 1789 was about 1 in 20 people, almost entirely white land owning men.

20 years later the vote was actually taken alway from many of the few black men who had it. White men still needed property. In parts of the US this property requirement lasted until the 1850s, and after that the requirement to be rich enough to pay taxes survived well into the 20th century.

I’m not criticising anything other than this idea that america was a government of the people by the people - at least until the 20th century.

why do you think that unregulated social networks are a threat?

why not all social networks? Frankly being served content at whim of company optimizing profits is as bad. In best case it is a feed optimized to extract as much value from you, while serving you content from bubble that entrenches your beliefs.

In worst case scenario - company is politically motivated in similar vein to lobbying and just pushes views that fit their agenda.

Regulated(censored in opinion of some) or not - the sentiment in society exists, you just hide it from policymakers. It will spread slower, but it will fester and can explode and catch society unaware. Encrypted chats exists, and in worst case people can just talk when they meet up.

Honestly i find all the pushes for censorship to be as bad as loss of democracy - in fact, they are one and the same if you can say only approved things. It is even harder to understand why would you push for that if you come from a country that did suffer from censorship in the past. I personally didn't experience it, but my parents did - and the nightmare stories live on in my generation.

Lets not lie to ourselves - 'regulated', 'hate speech' and other such phrases are doublethink words for 'censorship that we like'. and the problem with social media runs deeper than just 'regulation' - it is an inherent conflict of interests between social media corporation itself and society - the goals of both do not align at all.

and before anyone starts defending this approach - think what happens when your worst enemy gets the same powers you give yourself.

to give example - DOGE works with such powers because one of previous Democract administration created such agency with such overreaching powers.

I frequently learn of useful apps through its updated/new section that you see when opening the app. Back in the day when it didn't have this I used to scroll through all the categories - the catalogue was small enough to do this.

I wish the updated/new section would filter "update spam" better, but right now it works for app discovery, without requiring f-droid to collect usage data. The search function sorting by "recently updated" also helped a lot in finding well supported apps.

There's a lot of room for improvement of the search function though.

I'll expand my point to be clearer.

In C there is no operator overloading, so an expression like `a += 1` is easy to understand as incrementing a numeric value by 1, where that value's type is one of a small set of built-in types.

You'd need to look further up in the function (and maybe chase down some typedefs) to see what that type is, but the set of possible types generally boils down to "signed int, unsigned int, float, pointer". Each of those types has well-defined rules for what `+= 1` means.

That means if you see `int a = some_fn(); assert(a < 100); a += 1` in the C code, you can expect something like `ADD EAX,1` somewhere in the compiler output for that function. Or going the other direction, when you're in a GDB prompt and you disassemble the current EIP and you see `ADD EAX,1` then you can pretty much just look at the C code and figure out where you are.

---

Neither of those is true in C++. The combination of completely ad-hoc operator overloading, function overloading, and implicit type conversion via constructors means that it can be really difficult to map between the original source and the machine code.

You'll have a core dump where EIP is somewhere in the middle of a function like this:

std::string some_fn() {
some_ns::unsigned<int> a = 1;
helper_fn(a, "hello");
a += 1;
return true;
}

and the disassembly is just dozens of function calls for no reason you can discern, and you're staring at the return type of `std::string` and the returned value of `true`, and in that moment you'll long for the happy days when undefined behavior on signed integer overflow was the worst you had to worry about.

Galton, Ehrlich, Buck – By Scott Alexander
It's the paradox of tolerance or whatever, we're seeing that free speech and open elections have allowed the intolerant / autocrats to take over and take away those liberties, which implies that in order to have stopped them, they shouldn't have had those rights.

One point of concern is that the idea of free speech has been used by foreign influences to change the opinions of people over the years.

Anyway, counterpoint, unless there was voter fraud etc, democracy allows people to vote against democracy, so if that is the will of the majority, so it goes. Of course, one could argue it wasn't the will of the majority but of a vocal minority, which is the other problem with democracy.

The localization is not easy, because the distances are huge (several thousands of kilometers) and shortwaves are bouncing over the atmosphere. Think about the number stations, that are still not localized after years.

And even jamming it's not always easy: the Turkish government usually jam the Kurdish shortwave stations like Denge Welat targeting Europe, but they are moving up or down in frequency to avoid the jamming. Moreover, you need a lot of power to jam another station.

Another advantage of the shortwave is that it don't require a complex hardware neither infrastructure to receive them: a rudimentary AM receiver is very simple to implement and can work also on battery for long time.

Nothing internal about those incentives (though, happily, at least some people at Microsoft still find that sort of thing in poor taste). "The purpose of a system is what it does", as famously observed by a man named Beer.

Microsoft is no stranger to what's very transparently a bastardized form of nominative determinism, meant to sabotage the playing field by confusing generic and branded nomenclature. It's the opposite process to genericizing a trademark: you take as many random words as you can get away with, and turn them into brand names while nobody is looking. And then... you are suddenly everywhere they look.

So, a clear totalizing influence; its purpose: to tombstone a consumer product into the early termination of any attempt at independent thought - until thinking remains purely the domain of machines (that everyone is forced to trust) and illiterates (that nobody believes). Never succeeds for reason of some natural law or other, but it's a pain in the ass, a.k.a. a great motivator of economic growth, especially in epochs where imagination is frowned upon, like our present one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark

Far from limited to Microsoft, either. Though theirs are particularly crude - someone else mentioned COM and .NET. Well, why would you even name a proprietary runtime platform something as plainly idiotic as "dot net" - except to mount an attack against the networked commons? Take "Windows", for fuck's sake - at least they didn't name a statistics package that. What about "Meta", and their "Messenger" - remember when all chat apps were called messengers? Privatize the entire "Alphabet" - then nationalize it, then repeat a buncha times!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_distinctiveness

These kinds of organized attacks against language are nothing new. They just take a lot of entrenched mindshare to pull off in the first place, so are usually the domain of actors of nation-state and transnational caliber. One of their side effects is that people become technically unable (not just unwilling) to learn from immediate history: while the spectrum of observable reality remains covered by a network of interlocking notions, the boundaries between notions shift. So, the most important nuances become impracticable to translate between those established mental models that precede the attack, and any newly elucidated ones. So a lot of wheels end up having to be reinvented. Sometimes entire bicycles. Like I say, great driver of economic growth - just like many other more obviously horrible things.

Most of culture is (hopefully) new takes on topics which are much older than smartphones. "The topic is old" is not a sufficient condition to consider something tired/cliche/old.

>Are they just not used to having them so that they don't miss them?

The languages that I work in that don't print useful traces are typically strongishly-typed system languages. So I miss them - sometimes having to step through offending lines of code in a debugger - but I also completely avoid a whole class of bugs that are responsible for most of my stack traces in Python.

TFA's example isn't one of these, but is a function that would have a return code checked and logged if erroneous. This class of bug also can't be inlined and makes an easy breakpoint-ee.

Just to add one more wrinkle to the link between DNA and the presentation of sex, there is also androgen insensitivity syndrome, in which the person has a Y chromosome, but the developing body does not react to the testosterone produced by the testes.

The result is someone who may appear to be female, have female genitals, but has testes where ovaries would be expected. It's often not discovered until puberty doesn't happen as expected, and they discover they can't have children.

Like all these conditions, this is on something of a spectrum depending on how total it is.

As you say, genes are complicated. So much more so than is often implied in reporting of discoveries of "a gene for X".
