Love prefect! but for workflows involving concurrency, Prefect code needs to get somewhat invasive.

Prefect relies on prefect.task()-wrapped methods as the lowest granularity of concurrency in a program, and requires you to use the (somewhat immature) prefect task APIs to implement that concurrency.

The article talks about the first orbital rocket to be launched from Europe. The title is not very precise, but orbital rockets are the only ones that matter anyway.
The MCP protocol is really not that good. The stateful nature of it makes it only suitable as a local desktop RPC pipe - certainly not something that will work well on mobile nor anything anyone would like to try to run maintain in a server-to-serve context.

It is fine if that is the scope. It is also understandable why Anthropic chose to use a stateful protocol where stateless HTTP would be more than enough. They are catering for the default transport layer which is stdio based where state needs to be established.

There are also other aspects of it that are simply unnecessarily complex and resource intensive for no good reasons.
Companies that allowed others to create accounts with my email addresses:

PayPal, Apple, Credit Karma,
Walmart (I just forwarded the email to legal@ and they took care of that instance very quickly, kudos to that at least). Edit: Forgot to add TD Bank - I actually opened a case with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency that regulates this bank.

Companies that spammed me in the last 24 hours because they don't validate emails addresses they add to their mailing lists (maybe there are accounts too, IDK):

NerdWallet,

Spent a bunch of time in a hospital looking after a relative recently. It has a big maternity ward.

AlmaLinux is still 100% compatible with RHEL. Any suggestions otherwise is FUD.
Same story for me and one of the major credit reporting companies.
The pharmaceutical industry has a pretty big lobby, so does big tobacco, and don't even get me started on the alcohol industry.

If one of them finds a way to patent drugs that are currently illegal or otherwise profit from it, legalization will happen.

Honestly, in many places, legalization has already happened, look at the coffee shops in the Netherlands and the dispensaries in North America.

The police industrial complex might be attached to their cash cow, but everyone else in the capitalist system wants to get rich too, and I suspect in the long run that'll win out.

Also, much as how after a few thousand years of civilization people eventually wised up to human sacrifice wasn't actually a good idea and was not in any way required to make the sun come up, maybe at some point in the future we'll realize that harsh criminal penalties don't actually solve the drug problem.

France has some of the strictest laws against cannabis use in Europe, and also some of the highest rates of consumption, or at least it did last time I checked.
Wealth tax. Capital gain tax.

Not income tax.

Do the top 1% income tax include those people whose wealth increase because of their assets? Something to ponder…

We shouldn’t tax productive workforce more (in fact, we should tax less). We should tax unproductive assets more and redistribute.

IAKerb still hasn't shipped - it's a preview feature. Meanwhile, we've been doing KDC proxying successfully in Devolutions Gateway for several years. Sometimes you can wait forever for a supposedly better solution, or you can just make it work in the most obvious way. In the end, all you need is to forward KDC messages, right? It's annoying that it's out-of-band, but the KDC proxying protocol is just an HTTP POST that takes a request message, and sends the response message back.
Same, although for us it was 2015. But that is 10 years ago (noooo I hate getting old), and to your point I can imagine it changing a ton in that time.
i am not that concerned about more permissively licensed versions of what are effectively commodities (like coreutils). I am still very interested in keeping something like the kernel as GPL since it doesn't have a real substitute.
AlmaLinux is a non-profit foundation. It is not run by any company. Lots of companies sponsor it in various ways but no company controls it.
In Aus, among the most traditional and emotionally hardest of hard men includes the cricket community. It involves physical pain “suck it up!” And psychological warfare and abuse.

Bluey reduced most of them to tears in episode 47 of season 3. Directed right at them and if you’re not a cricketer it will be tough to see why it’s extraordinary. Just a huge wow of a piece of writing for those of us who grew up with the game and its associated culture.

In Bluey, it’s all great, all of it. But the writing is something beyond that.
OpenSSH is an implementation, SSH is a technology and/or protocol, it doesn't make a lot of sense to compare them that way. Although from later comments RDP seems to have a history in Citrix prior to it's life as RDP, so there are likely clear reasons why it didn't use the SSH protocol (namely that the underlying technology RDP was built on does predate the SSH protocol).
Bluey has made be a better father and partner. Unicorse was ZERO help as usual though.
> Is Alex/Alexander a nickname for Sasha

it's the other way around: "Alexandr" is the "canonical" name, and "Sasha" is a shorter version of it

In Russian some names can be used with "sha" suffix that makes the name sound "softer": in many cases it's how parents call their kids.

Mikhail -> Misha;
Mariya -> Masha;
Alexandr(Male) or Alexandra(Female) -> Alexasha -> Sasha

rain is my favorite episode. it so perfectly encapsulates the curiosity and innocence of childhood and the music is incredible. so much emotion for an episode with basically no dialogue.
And i forgot to mention something: the mobile client was also the best that i ever used, too. Absolutely intuitive back in the days - but i don't know how it is today. But i expect it to be even better, not degraded.
Sasha is a familiar version of Alexander. Like Ben for Benjamin, Pete for Peter, Ash for Ashley, etc. Its etymology is just a bit less straight-forward.
To be fair, a lot of the regulations come from a time when the concern truly was about contaminated animal products, and not about trying to protect an industry. Milk, meat, eggs..etc, all suffered contamination problems as the food industry began to heavily industrialize in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
If you want to connect to the built-in macOS remote desktop server, don't use a standard VNC client, use a real ARD client like Remote Desktop Manager. While the server accepts standard VNC, you will only get zlib the codec, which has very poor performance. With ARD, you get a special codec inspired by progressive JPEG, along with server-side downscaling and chroma subsampling, etc. It's actually closer to RDP RemoteFX in terms of performance: https://devolutions.net/integration-center/apple-remote-desk...
It is not about design features and bugs etc. The whole iOS feels a lot slower than before despite having much more processing power.

Android caught on, and now feels smoother than iOS. And that is with iOS animation tuned off.

Problem is, if you implement strict email verification, you lose users. Because that step of "please open your email and verify" is actually a big drop-off point in the funnel. No amount of "shaming" people over lax email validation is going to convince them to implement a change that loses them money.

Don't get me wrong, I hate it too. Every single day I have to block about a dozen new sender addresses for services that someone has signed up for under my email. Because my email address just so happens to be temporal at gmail.com (it was my teenage gamer tag), and it just happens that "temporal" means "temporary" in Spanish, so about half a billion humans think it's a great throw-away address.

Luckily I can very easily identify the emails that aren't meant for me, because they are in Spanish, which I do not speak. Still, I thought that after years of blocking a dozen senders a day, I'd have blocked just about everything... but no, they just keep coming. I've given up on clicking "unsubscribe" or trying to hijack accounts to shut them down, I just go straight to "block" now...

But yeah. I've been demanding that people validate email addresses for decades, and can assure you than nobody cares and they're not going to start.

The best you can hope for really is that they put a link in the email to disavow the account with one click. I've only seen a few companies do that but I really appreciate it!
It probably started when they sold to The Match Group a while back.

As a Frenchman, this really grinds my gears.

Our state is already one of the biggest arms dealers on the planet, and, like all modern nation states, fundamentally a coercive protection racket (note that I don't actually have a problem with coercive protection rackets. You remember that scene in The Godfather where everyone is thanking Vito Corleone as he saunters through the street? That's me thanking the French welfare state for taking my taxes and giving me universal healthcare and environmental regulation).

Why don't we just get in on the drug trade ourselves, undercut the dealers and start a government monopoly like Sweden has with alcohol?
Yes, but inmate population is mostly immigrant descendants (for various reasons, poverty and been unable to work are the main ones).

> Also, modern cars don't emit a significant amount of local pollution. Modern emissions control systems are extremely effective against everything except CO2

Go stand next to the exhaust on a “modern car” and say that with a straight face. Everything that you see, smell, and hear is pollution, and it’s really not hard to notice.

One other confound is that vehicle sizes have gone up massively: the car I bought in 2006 has equivalent or better smog ratings than the current non-EV best sellers I just checked because it’s not a truck/SUV and all of the extra weight/power comes at a cost. Yes, that’s a personal choice but if you live somewhere many people drive you’re breathing their choices.
That isn't something Canonical could do just because the software has a permissive license instead of a copyleft license. They can do that if they own the copyright (which I can't imagine they do), but if they own the copyright they can do anything they want and nobody has a say in it. So again it has nothing to do with license.

The absolute most that Canonical can do is start making a fork of the software where they don't distribute the source code. But in that case, the original code is still right there. No freedom is lost at any point.
There are already some resources like that like:

Whatever floats your boat. But claiming that France is the pinnacle of maintaining individual freedoms contradicts with a nanny state that polices religious expression. You can’t have it both ways.
E2EE is very much in the interest of providers, because if their systems are breached in a cyberattack, E2EE is the only thing that stops that stolen data being useful. People can be educated about that.

Terrorists used planes as the key part of the attack in 9/11, and nobody called for a ban on all air travel. It’s not a forgone conclusion people will be fine keeping E2EE!

> Before M1 we used to have laptops that had 16GB RAM as a base. With M1 the made base back to 8GB.

You're getting product segments mixed up. From what I can tell, the 13" MacBook Pro in the Intel era never started at 16GB; the last model still started at 8GB. That's what was replaced by the M1. The 15/16" Intel-based MacBook Pro models didn't get a proper replacement until the M1 Pro and M1 Max, which started at 16GB and 32GB respectively. The only regression I can find there is that the last 13" Intel MacBook Pro could be configured with up to 32GB, which wasn't available from the base M series chips until the M4 last year.

The article talks about the first orbital rocket, while Miura 1 was a suborbital rocket, not capable of reaching orbit (but capable of "reaching space" which means going up and then immediately falling down to Earth, like any suborbital rocket). There's a big difference between reaching orbit and "reaching space" with a suborbital flight. For example, suborbital New Shepard reaches a max speed of 3568 km/h, while to get to orbit, a rocket must accelerate to something around 25000 km/h.

That’s not a middle ground at all that offloads the cost of your growth to unrelated parties who are potentially being defrauded. Typical tech ploy.
My aunt was relocated from a dam construction and they started the census/analysis way before the project was even approved, because counting how many people you need to relocate and compensate is actually a part of the decision process.

You don't know how organized crime families are nowadays in France. French gangs are led by 3 "families". Or rather, 3 groups of families who now are friendly with each other and divided their territory nicely and stopped fighting each other ~7 years ago. You might catch some minor gang member trice removed from the Hornec (And i've heard the Hornec are not the leading family, too exposed, so i would guess getting to the true boss is even harder), but you won't catch any leader like this.
The only issue is misalignment of incentives.

A patent troll will take a look at such a policy and do the bare minimum to give off the appearance of a ‘real’ company.

And then the insurance company will simply go “yep, that tracks”, with little incentive to investigate as it’s not in their best interest.
Fastmail's masked emails are great! I honestly very rarely give out my "real" email. Usually when I sign up for something I create a masked email, or if I need an email on the spot I use a wildcard alias (xxxxxx@myalias.fastmail.com). Since most of my emails are random, it serves as an authentication additional factor.

I have been running Apple Intelligence betas for a long time. I wish they would provide a voice interface for at least: querying calendar, recent emails, checking available file storage, query any system setting for the current value, etc. About six months ago I was testing Gemini Advanced and asked how many times I had Covid and it reviewed my emails and eventually came up with the correct numerical answer. I was impressed, but I don't know if their current system would pass that test.

Kevin Weil has been a very good product manager at OpenAI - Apple should try to hire him.
That requires remoteapp I believe, not regular remote desktop.
There's no doubt the Primeagen has a popular channel (459K subs at last count), but his videos are super annoying to me. Many of them are just him reading a blog post and adding some light clowning to it. To me it feels like a waste of time...I can just read the article myself a lot faster and the clowning doesn't add any value to me.
Because it’s hard to cover a sphere in rectangles and have no rectangle overlap.

I'm not aware of any country not doing censuses regardless of their digitization.

Censuses aren't just counts, they are timestamps of lots of data (education, family, etc) which is often missing, not digitized or not available (you may graduate in a different country, you might be living with someone but not be married, etc).

There's also a privacy/anonimity issue, even when data is available it can be used for very little over than counting.

So, there are books out there. I use Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach by Hennessy and Patterson. Recent revisions have removed historical information. I understand why they did remove it. I wanted to use Stallings book, but the department had already made arrangements with the publisher.

The biggest problem on why we don't write books is that people don't buy them. They take the PDF and stick it on github. Publishers don't respond to the authors on take down requests, github doesn't care about authors, so why spend the time on publishing a book? We can chase grant money. I'm fortunate enough to not have to chase grant money.
