Not for long. China is on path to have the same demographics crisis as Russia.

AC is typically used for power grids because it’s very easy to change voltage with a transformer. You can have 100-200V in households, and use a cheap transformer to step up the voltage to 100+kV to reduce resistive losses for long distances.

AC works well, but there are technically some downsides with AC, like the skin effect and parasitic capacitance. With modern technology, it’s pretty easy to step up/down DC voltage, and by using it for the biggest, longest power lines, you see some nice power savings for the effort. It’s called “HVDC”.

CalyxOS supports fairphone, I’ve been using it for a year now.

KDE support requires plasma 6 which is in alpha.

Yeah, as I understand it, there are a lot of problems with requesting asylum in the US. people are not allowed to request asylum at border crossings, crossing the border illegally often prevents asylum seekers from seeking asylum, border patrol often dont respect asylum requests, asylum seekers are detained inhumanely, and asylum courts are deliberately underfunded.

I wish there was more discussion about these issues in the us, instead of blanket statements about migrants crossing the border.

Without sources, and the guy’s comment history is filled with conspiracy theories, like “Biden does and says what his advisors in the CIA tell him to”.

I never saw any of these claims in SCMP when he was arrested in 2020.

Fair enough, I didn’t know that there were so many people crossing the US border.

I will point out that the equivalent EU figure post-migrant-crisis is about 400k. I believe that EU border officers are generally not allowed to turn migrants away if they have a valid claim to asylum. https://etias.com/articles/eu-migrant-influx-record-2023

I didn’t live in Hong Kong that long to really read into Apple Daily, but it was at the very least popular.

Not sure what sort of conspiracy theory you’re pushing here.

it’s a tragedy what has happened to Hong Kong’s government and free press. Apple Daily used to be one of the top newspapers.

Do you have a source that says hundreds of thousands of people a year cross the US-Mexico border outside of legal crossing points?

illegal immigration in the us includes people overstaying visas. Finland has plenty of overstayed visas too, but the border to Russia is meant to be closed due to the war escalation in Ukraine.

I’ve heard arguments from sarcasmitron on YouTube that Putin actually believes his own lies. Putin is terrified that the CIA actually caused color revolutions in the 2000’s and 2010’s, and after the pro-constitution/anti-election-fraud protests in Russia in 2011, he’s been fighting against “the shadowy hand of the gay nazi west” ever since.

That’s a really good point. I guess it ties into the “cattle, not pets” mindset. It’s pretty easy to tell if your pet is sick, but you need to have systems in place to be able to tell if your cattle are sick.

JITs and branch prediction are probably good examples of the kind of computing I’m describing.

Those are good points.

Control loops have of course always existed in industrial computing, but I think it’s exceptional how common they are now in modern servers and PCs.

Thats a good point about memory allocation. I guess a lot of syscalls could be considered to be part of this data-centric self-adaptation mode of operation that I’m trying to describe.

I think retries and exponential backoff are more of a single-threaded error-handling operation, I think that’s different from the operations I’m describing, which instead involves multiple services communicating together to adapt to changing conditions.

As far as I can tell, Docker didn’t add healthchecks until 1.12 in 2016. I do think Docker healthchecks are a good example of the service orchestration design that has become very popular recently, though.

To be fair, I didn’t start seriously programming until around 2017, so maybe I’m missing some of the history that shows that this sort of data-centric adaptation was popular prior to 2010.

Replacing the motherboard triggers the screen drm and the screen gets all fucked up and won’t go to sleep.

In Swedish, we have the word “riktig”, but I guess that’s a bit of a shifted cognate, since it means “real”.

I’m not saying that it’s a pro-Russia opinion. I’m saying that it reduces Ukraine to just being a victim of Russia imperialism, instead of being an entire country with people, politics, and an economy.

Post USSR, Russia has had influence over Ukraine, but it never threatened to invade Ukraine, that only happened in 2014. Ukrainian polls show that Ukraine never wanted to join NATO before the invasion of Crimea/Donbass. In fact, I’ve seen YouTube videos that argue that the lease of Sevastopol to Russia was a way to guarantee to Russia that it wouldn’t join NATO.

I agree with you that there are challenges with EU membership for Ukraine, but it is also something that Ukrainians have wanted for a long time, more than they wanted military protection from NATO. Considering the current integration climate of the EU, and the international focus on Ukraine, I think they have a good chance. Much better than countries like Turkey which has been backsliding ever since they applied.

Kraut has a really good video going into detail what European integration will look like for Ukraine, and vice versa:
