Where is the "added two new emojis". Not worth to upgrade without it.

Integrating with server software, the performance is nice to have, as you can have say 100 kRPS requests coming in that need some jq-like logic. For CLI tool, like you said, the performance of any of them is ok, for most of the cases.

System outputting the configuration file failed (it could check the size and/or content and stop right away), but also a system importing the file failed. These usually sound simple/stupid in a hindsight. I am not a fan of everything centralising to a few hands. As in bad situation, they can also be weaponised or attacked. And in good situation their blast radius is just too big and a bit random, in this case global.

Solving issue for a few, and making issues for millions, including perhaps the few. It is easier to sleep at nights though, for a few.

Simplicity in high-level: Lua, low-level: Zig (combined in one (complex): Rust?)

It was the second Chinese registered ship with Russian crew within a short period of time. A year ago this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newnew_Polar_Bear cut the gas pipe and another communications line.

I am sure if the cowardly Russians ever did this to USA, it would cause a much bigger drama and retaliation wave, and China would take the hit as well.

You seem to be worried because of _just enough_ of part of somehow your money is given to Ukraine. Come on. They are fighting for all of us. And all we need to do is to give support. And you are getting tired. I am also disappointed that the west have not acted as a single front. In EU it seems we cannot even put puppets like Viktor Orbán in control. Yes, whole west needs to step up. Russia doesn't listen anything else than force. Period.

rqlite is a great project! Sometimes I have been wondering, how hard would it be to embed it into web server process, like nginx or apache, as a module.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it was written by AI.

There's really only 4 framerworks (React, Vue, Angular & Svelte, in this order), they pretty much do the same thing

For me it looks there are only 4 frameworks in that category. htmx in my eyes feels like a welcomed step back from those. Closer to what we used to do before (server-side html generation and such), but with a small twist. I have not really used it, but React etc. never felt good fit for me, personally.

I'd love to understand when a browser account/profile picker is useful? I do know that I need to pick e.g. account for which Gmail inbox I want to read, but that happens inside Gmail's account picker. I know that I could have profile in browser so that it always logins to right account, but then again when I browse different things, I do not want to constantly switch the browser profile either. Then on computers you have separate user accounts already that different family members can use without leaking their personal data.

For development, the incognito/guest is usually good enough (when you need to have "clean" state).

Frankly, nothing the EU or the USA is doing at this point will matter, if Asia carries on doing what they are doing.

Perhaps something that EU or the USA ends up doing, will make Asia not to carry what they are doing?

We need to either invent technology (which we are) to reduce emissions, or even extract them from the air, OR we need some crazy form of diplomacy to stop Asia from growing

This seems to give some hope that EU or the USA can do something on their own, which feels like it may even matter. Or did you mean "AND" instead of "OR"?

You need to get the 256 bit key (probably represented as 32 bytes in your computer's memory - usually crypto random bytes, e.g. key derivation like HKDF). Not sure how Zoom exactly does it, but it is likely that this key is rotated frequently. You might need associated authenticated data too (or AAD) to be sure that you got decryption right.

Is there room for a car outside the garage?

I switched from viewing Google mostly positively to more skeptically

I think I share the feeling. I feel more and more disconnect from their stuff every day. Same thing with their hardware. Original Google Wifi was great, the Google Nest Wifi Pro is not. You cannot listen Rage Against The Machine's Bullet in the Head in their Youtube Music Premium without popups, that you cannot disable. The only answer from their customer support seems to be: "please, unsubscribe". The search engine feels also worse and worse. If you put anything more specific, all the links lead to fake sites. Youtube is still quite good, mostly because of the content not found elsewhere. In general I care Google a lot less these days, and I feel it is a mutual feeling.

Cool URIs change all the time. And then they come back. It's like with fashion.

What point? That we should not call convicted extortionist a hacker? I sure agree with you, but we (outsiders) should not call unconvictected (regardless of their previous history) people a hacker or extorsionist either.

But on the other hand he is suspect, until convicted (probabilities, who cares, system does not work by probabilities).

Have you checked M-Files? (https://www.m-files.com/). Not OSS, though.

Yes, you just purchase your electricity with a market price contract (usually with added margin) and every day the next day prices are published around 3pm Finnish time (perhaps 12 UTC). Then just use the free APIs to load data and use the data to adjust when you spend electricity on what. E.g. to charge EV on cheapest hours, or load batteries, or when you fire up your electric Sauna...

These days the price is different for every hour, in near future they move to 1/4 hour pricing.

About 10% of finnish household contracts are market price contracts. Most of the contracts are kinda continuous (price changes every 12 months) or fixed (e.g. a two year fixed price contract).

This picture shows you this crazyness: https://lampopumput.info/foorumi/attachments/1660195161813-p...

In north Norway the electricity costs: 0.75 c/kWh In south Norway the electricity costs: 307.00 c/kWh In Latvia it costs: 1,240.00 c/kWh

It is like that every day everywhere in Europe. In Finland the transfer line to Estonia means a lot to our local prices. If we cannot get that line fully utilised (in normal non-windy day, and I bet producers want it to stay around 99%), it means that prices are fixed to Estonia (which you can see in that picture). If we get the line fully loaded, Finland divides to its own market and prices drop considerably.

In Norway and Sweden you can see multiple prices inside a country. It is because their internal lines are not sturdy enough to transfer enough electricity to south (in nordics it is common that electricity is made at north (e.g. a lot of rivers), but needed at south). The random energy (wind) has made this quite crazy. On windy days, the electricity price can even be negative. But wind energy is not reliable at all. But nobody builds or wants to run anything else as wind is easily the cheapest on windy days, and it is not that easy to always start and stop other facilities, which operate with losses on windy days. In general Germany jumped to a dwell, and everyone followed, and now we are where we are.

I am not sure what you mean about static fences? Reindeer is semi-wild. They gather them for sure (with helicopters and stuff these days), but outside that the reindeers basically go anywhere they want. Yes, they have ”areas” where they should be, but they are, as mentioned semi-wild animals. I have cottage in Lapland and it is very common to see them on my property almost daily. I like it, but I understand locals do not like it that much, as basically they eat everything you want to grow for yourself (and at north, it is already hard to grow anything).

The story of the Sámi people is very similar to many other native people...

Also hitting them with bible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianization_of_the_S%C3%A...

”It is alarming how quickly this has shifted to open acknowledgment”

The mask have been taken off. All we see is the cold face of war.

Something like that said the president of Finland. And the diplomatic paths were tried for months already.

We (the west) all know that sanctions are going to hit ordinary Russians, but also people outside the Russia. Nothing to compare with horrors in Ukraine. But it looks like we have currently no other option. Are we sliding to a new world war. That is what we try to avoid. We are already sending weapons but non-acting would seem we support the war Russia has started. Putin has went so far that it is unlikely that he will stop. We hope the change comes from the inside, and that he is stopped. I know, it is a naive thought.

This is a lose-lose situation for everyone.

At the same time we are in danger of escalating energy crisis, banking crisis and the climate change.

First of all, a lot of gas gets used for heating - nuclear isn't useful there

All electricity basically turns to heat at some point. So why not?

”The gallium was easily recovered for reuse after the reaction, which yields 90% of the hydrogen that could theoretically be produced from reaction of all the aluminum in the composite.”

”Although gallium is not abundant and is relatively expensive, it can be recovered and reused multiple times without losing effectiveness, Singaram said.”

It mentions it at the end: ./tmp.db?_timeout=5000&_journal=WAL&_sync=1

Not sure if it was updated after your comment.

Within a temperature range of about ~-30 °C to ~400 °C.

If the new material is plastic-like, it may have worse issues here?

My 2010 Mac Pro has 48 GB of RAM, this 2021 M1 Max has 32 GB. So not much has changed on that respect either. Except on 2010 I imagine it was struggle to get even 16 GB on a laptop.

Yes, definitely not true for all programmers. I guess with games, if you cannot get real time with instant compiles development experience with 120fps running 8k in debug mode, there is a room for improvement.

I compared highend 2010 desktop to highend 2021 laptop on my use case (which is arguably much lighter). And for my workloads, the laptop is no more a limiting factor (which is great, but not a leap from 2010 desktop). I can imagine todays desktops could be much better compared to todays highend laptops, but it feels like the most of what I do, there is little reasons to upgrade. Which is also great. With Macs the latest macOS support is removed usually from 5 years old machines, but that feels mostly baseless from technical perspective as with hacks you can still run the latest just fine.

Perhaps it is a nostalgia / romancy. Having a 12 years old machine as you daily workhorse where upgrade was not a leap. That is something I haven’t seen before, and I have been in this industry since 90ies and a PC user since 80ies.
