lol, right, this is terrorism!

If 10 people are sitting at a table…

When Russian citizens understand there are direct consequences to them, Russian citizens stop supporting Putin’s actions.

Personally I’m glad the sanctions have some bite. You can’t expect to just keep living your life as you wish when your country is obliterating its neighbors and disrupting stability worldwide.

Usenet or Fidonet would be a more apt comparison

Yeah maybe that’s true. I thought the recent work eliminated it but it looks like ZGC2 has a bounded and usually microseconds-range pause time.

FYI the JVM’s GC is concurrent and doesn’t freeze.

Try Scala. It has all the functional goodness, all the OOP goodness, all the imperative goodness, clean syntax like python or like typescript, really well thought out libraries like ZIO, Akka, Tapir, Caliban and access to all Java libraries. Very mature runtime with best-in-class high performance concurrent GC and a green thread implementation that can handle 10s of millions of concurrent operations.

If you think of low frequencies as “red” and high frequencies as “blue”, corresponding to the range of the visible light spectrum, then pink noise has more “red” and less “blue”; white noise has equal amounts of all frequencies, etc.

Prices have been going down around here.

yeah, communities should have subject tag sets. I don’t care for anime or sports or video games - i should be able to turn off those tags. Not block 50 different game communities ad hoc

Surge suppressors do not drop extra voltage to ground. They selectively short out surges between whatever two conductors have a high potential between them.

No ground conductor means there cannot be a high potential between it and anything else!

The guy writing didn’t know about generics, so…. (to be clear, I trust the rust core devs know about these things, I’m implying that they are afraid to reference them directly because they think the M word will scare people)

They seem quite afraid of mentioning the basis for effects that Haskell, Scala et al have used for years - Monads.

So they’re going to re-invent it all 🙃

FYI, banks do run exactly this type of analysis inside their own system to get around not being able to share your account activity.

honestly, I don’t want established Reddit supermods land grabbing topics in the Fediverse. The right people will find it organically based on their own motivation (as simple as searching for “reddit alternatives”).

Especially don’t want the shallow, low-quality content from default/“top” subreddits.

“prove it wrong”? “as we’re told”? Do you start conversations this way?

Bro, if you don’t like it you don’t have to use it.

Betavoltaics have been around for 40+ years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betavoltaic_device

This device generates microwatts. You’d need thousands of them in parallel to power a typical mobile phone.

All of their tech job openings are in India or Vietnam. I’d have assumed a major US health data handler would be developing onshore!
