I have no idea what sort of sway a US Attorney has over Wikipedia, beyond what's outlined in this article. But reading this, I start to worry about the vast array of open source projects with US-based charitable foundations. The same s

This is addressed in the JEP: > There is, furthermore, mechanical sympathy between stable values and the Java runtime. Under the hood, the content of a stable value is stored in a non-final field annotated with the JDK-internal @Stable a

Well, no. The JVM makes the wrapper object disappear. One of the design drivers for StableValue was performance. I mean the developer has to create the StableValue field, but its access is optimized away.

- StableValue is about defining when and how to lazily initialy a field, with strong "exactly-once" semantics. The kinds of things we would do with safe double-checked locking before, but more convenient. Using a record doesn&

TIL Schultenbrau is a real beer. I thought it was gag beer designed for the New Kids show. The same goes for wine, by the way: cellar temperature is usually optimal.

In my experience, shops you frequent will be sympathetic to that problem and will just let you come back to pay later. And I imagine that any shops that sell stuff that needs to be kept cool were especially amenable to that ...

I think we can have both? I don't think anyone is advocating for one giant battery. In my ideal imaginary world, there are medium sized battery parks near every transformer station. In that same fantasy, the foundations of wind turbine

That's a great example of why this is a bad idea. District heating is a lot more efficient than using individual heat sources. Especially so when the heat being used is heat that would otherwise go to waste (e.g. waste heat from indust

Sounds like an incredibly expensive solution to a problem that could be tackled more efficiently at a larger scale.

Is there a name for those ##number## codes? It's been years since I had to use one of them to fix some random issue on a phone.

Two lifelong medications + frequent screening does not sound like "a solution" to me. That being said, the article does state that its proposed treatment doesn't last forever, though I couldn't find any numbers on how lo

It's still being taught in schools AFAIK. Had an intern a year ago whose school forced them to go the whole nine yards with UML. Our company gave them a project to build, and their school made them draw use-case diagrams, class diagram

What makes you say that breath holding for diving is a "near death experience"? It's pretty safe from what I can see?

Not only am I not in the US, I also don't subscribe to this way of thinking of "foreign adversaries". From what I can tell, China and the US both have significant problems, but China's dealings with my country have been

Moot point given the state of the US government (or Hungarian, Turkish, Israeli, etc). What makes China's hold over TikTok supposedly more nefarious than say Musk's hold over Xitter?

by elric 2y ago
That too. But even if the government was perfect and trustworthy and free of leaks, that can still all go out the window as soon as a less trustworthy government is elected.

If we had trustworthy governments, or trustworthy police agencies, then maybe mandated backdoors wouldn't be all that bad. But if anything, recent events that clearly demonstrated that governments are not trustworthy, even if one is tr

More like "just take these GLP-1 agonists for the rest of your life". Those seem to have an effect on addictions etc. But at least when it comes to weight, people seem to put it back on once they quit. Perhaps the GLP-1 agonist is

Well, no. The screwdriver is the library. The framework would be a workshop that someone else set up exactly to their liking, forcing you to use their tools and materials, and you can't easily replace their default screwdriver with one

I don't think the EU has any interest in this. They've been aware of the risk of relying on the US for software security for years, but AFAIK there have been no efforts to do anything about it. Maybe the current situation will kic

I am happy to see that PV is being deployed at incredible speeds. But dismayed at the lack of large scale storage projects & international interconnects.
