What is the issue with that use case? I am a firm believer in storing all time as GMT / UTC in the database layer then converting to local time in the UI layer according to the current user's attributes.

In this situation, when the user enters "8 am on Saturday", they would do so in their local time, it would be converted to GMT before inserting, and again back into local time when that record is viewed in the UI.

Here is a case of this exact thing occuring in one of the wealthiest counties in the US, right outside of Washington, DC. The police were actively assisting the traffickers as well.

You could very easily implement that pattern yourself in a react app as a few HoCs. So far I think the react project has done a pretty decent job at limiting the surface area of the API. This seems a bit high level.

In fact, this would be quite nice for TypeScript compile TO. JS engines could use the automatically generated type hints optimization, validation, reflection, etc.

The kind of people you describe thrive on the looming threat of world war, but I highly doubt they actually want it to occur. They can get perfectly fat of government money during peace time as they saber rattle.

And if the debris field somehow was dense enough to provide such a shield it would block out enough sunlight to cause the death of most life on the planet I suspect.

The actual mechanism (SWIFT) used to enforce the sanctions does not really matter. The damage comes from being cut off from western markets and capital. If alternatives are adopted then countries wishing to impose sanctions could simply prohibit their institutions from using the system.

As far as I've seen the shortage as it relates to electric vehicles is due to a lack of power devices, such as high power MOSFETs, not logic ICs.

The majority of those aviation rules and regulations are written in blood. While unfortunate, it's not surprising to me that automated vehicles may follow the same path. Regulators are rarely forward thinking.

Do you really think Google or Qualcomm are going to try and root kit servers you ssh into? Google's privacy model is awful for many reasons but this doesn't seem like one if them.

This seems like noise about nothing? The intention was clearly to prevent the user from accidentally removing all the search engines, not a malicious attempt to prefer certain engines. If you don't like the current default simply add your own provider, set it to be default, then delete all the rest.

Vert.x

It's built on top of Netty but has some additional niceties that make it more practical to use. It's also one of the fastest things out there: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r18&hw=...

> Then there’s also the mandate-oriented approach to COVID in many states, which removes individual agency and replaces it with authoritarian approaches.

Ah yes another person who equates a basic courtesy, wearing a mask, with authoritarianism. Or are you referring to lockdowns that have not existed anywhere for 1.5 years? Im finding it increasingly difficulty to entertain any viewpoint of those that lack basic empathy and understanding of common good.

So much bad info in this thread. Almost all new construction already uses forced air heat pump systems for energy cost reasons. Supplemental gas (or electric) heat is only turned on by the unit when it's too cold for the heat pump to function well. All this change means is that units with supplemental electric heat will be chosen over those with gas supplemental heat.

Additionally the compressors in these systems use far less than 50 amps, typically typically around 12 for a 3 ton unit.

The type of system you described is generally used for old construction where adding ducts is impractical. Because it's used for a special situation it will of course be more costly.

> Depending on your house layout, you might basically need to gut your entire house just to rewire a single appliance.

This is simply not true. Any decent electrician will be able to fish the lines with a few strategically placed small holes.

The point is that exa is a tool for listing files in a more human readable way. In what situation would you ever need to manually read (with your eyes) a list of 70k files? For this use case you should just use ls.

> So yea. I have no interest in it. Though if I hadn’t had covid already I would definitely get vaccine.

Well I guess the mandate is working, because based on this response you are an individual that I would prefer not to be exposed to in the workplace without the mandated testing.

This is not a judgement of personal worth, just an observation that you are not behaving rationally. Top down policies such as the mandate are helpful for the whole in the these situations.

What you are looking for are generally sold as "large format displays". Basically tvs for commercial purposes that do not have any of that crap. Most projector manufacturers, even the consumer ones, have also been good about avoiding "smart" features.

In the context of component based development, react etc., I believe what you describe is actually very beneficial. Think about a case where instead of doing something <button class="btn btn-primary"> you write an atomic component <MyButton> which uses tailwind internally.

With this workflow:

* There are no global styles that can have an unknown or unexpected impact on the application when modified.

* The component's style is completely encapsulated. It can be placed anywhere in the application without worrying about inherited styles causing problems.

I'm not so sure about this. The value is incredible for what you get and the quality of the ecosystem. The original Zero W was $5 and the new Zero W 2 in the article is $15. That's cheaper than a knock off Arduino board. They are honestly so cheap I have a hard time not picking up yet another one every time I visit the store.

I'm curious what the limits of this are.

Say I create a business that receives $2000/m in contracting revenue instead of personal 1099 income. What if this business then acquires a property with a $2000/m mortgage and in turn rents that property to me for $1/mo. As all revenue is consumed by expenses would the business not be taxed? It seems like there has to be a reason why this strategy can not be used to avoid tax on all personal expenses?

Almost the exact same situation for me except it was the E61. I remember playing DOOM on it for the first time and being quite impressed.

Is that really a problem though? Most people would just add their friends via username and bypass the whole user discovery process. Discord has demonstrated that this works perfectly fine, even with anonymous accounts not tied to emails.

Exactly. I have found the phone number requirement idiotic from day one. I recognize the decision was made as a trade off between usability and security (enabling discovering friends via phone etc), but they seem unwilling to admit that this does compromise security.

Only if you value monetary compensation over the opportunity to deliver such a sweet dish of passive aggressive justice.

In this context it sounds like supercomputer would more analogous to mainframe.

Retail PC sales are only a small portion of the x86 market. The vast majority of corporate PCs will continue to use x86 in the foreseeable future for compatibility reasons. On the datacenter / cloud side providers are trying to make inroads with ARM, such as Amazon's Graviton, but are meeting similar resistance.

Additionally we have yet to see x86 on the TSMC 5nm process. Making that leap once Apple's reservations expire may remove much of the performance gap.

Interesting, who is the provider for this?

I think the robustness of the JVM ecosystem makes this less of a concern. It should be of relativity little cost to switch back to HotSpot if Oracle acts up.

Sure, you'll survive without lasting damage, but thinking such a fast itself won't impact your brain chemistry seems a bit much.
