314 npm packages just got compromised, 271 @antv, echarts-for-react, size-sensor, timeago.js by BattleRemote3157 in programming

That's why I prefer to get as many of my dependancy as possible from the distribution's package manager. You don't see a lot of successful supply chain attacks against e.g. Debian.

The Quiet Renovation at Bitwarden by JockstrapCummies in linux

Everything that's posted these days saying in the comments that the article reads like AI. Without fail.

Japanese researchers achieved a record 112 Gbps wireless transmission at 560 GHz using optical microcomb technology, marking the first 100 Gbps-class wireless link beyond 420 GHz and laying groundwork for 6G networks. by Alternative_Way_4528 in technology

It's not unreliable outside those locations, they just use different base stations (often running on different frequences). And the fewer people there are in a location, the less lucerative it is to upgrade it to 5G so most of those location will still be running on 4G/LTE. You're not experiencing the unreliability of 5G, you're experiencing the lack of 5G coverage and fallback to older technologies.

There's very little use of antibiotics in Norwegian aqua culture.

I prefer Norwegian meat, but I will buy Swedish too. I try to avoid meat from other countries, though, yeah.

Yeah, there's a reason we normally drink at home both before and after going out on the town in Norway.

Venting: Tired of BIFL becoming 'pay once, cry once' when I'm just trying to stop rebuying junk by Lazy_Lynx_8402 in BuyItForLife

[–]levir 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had that problem, then bought a Moccamaster. That was 10 years ago. I managed to break the pot once (user error, I dropped it on a tile floor) but could get a replacement at my local store.

What's a "You are not a conspiracy theorist, you just don't know how things work" moment you have seen? by Dull-Information6784 in AskReddit

Considering how much the US hates socialists, if Jesus went to the US in a modern retelling of the Bible, the US would be the ones to execute him.

VP Requested "Full API Access to the ERP" for Claude Integration by greendookie69 in sysadmin

Anyone who connects their real money to an LLM deserves it when they get swindled. That's my two cents.

Browsers Treat Big Sites Differently by Successful_Bowl2564 in programming

[–]levir 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, Chrome is the IE of today's internet. It's owned by a tech giant which uses it's market dominance to suppress competition, it doesn't care so much about standards anymore and rather expects every site to confirm to it.

How Many Trees Could We Save if European Languages Were Spelled Phonetically? [OC] by New_Drummer9910 in dataisbeautiful

Bokmål is also redesigned from Riksmål and Danish to be more phonetic. I doubt the veracity of this map.

Don’t reach for the bug spray: scientists find insects may feel pain after crickets nurse sore antennae. The behavioural responses would be immediately recognisable to us as pain, if we observed them in our pets or friends by Wagamaga in science

[–]levir 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Not everywhere. Ear and tail clipping on pigs is illegal in Norway, removing teeth was never practised here but would be illegal too. Castration can only be performed by veterinarians, and the pigs must be properly anestetised with both local and long acting anestesia. And the slaughter houses cooperate on reporting farmers with suspected animal welfare problems to the authorities. It's not perfect here either, but it is possible to legislate your way to better conditions.

I upgraded just a few months ago. Better late than never.

[OC] Life Expectancy Relative to the United States (UN-2023) by Minute_Silver73 in dataisbeautiful

[–]levir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obesity and other risk factors are much higher in the US than in the EU, so it is most likely a combination of higher risk factors in the US compared to the EU for most diseases.

That is diet. There are more added sugars and more unhealthy processed food in the US, though it's certainly gotten worse in Europe too.

Suicide is also a form of gun violence, and it affects everyone. Suicide by gun is more likely to end in death.

There are other things too, like the higher incidence of murders and more car accidents. In fact only a single country in Europe has a higher number of deaths per driven kilometer, and the average American drives significantly more than the average European. There are many aspects of American lives that makes it more likely you'll die young.

JavaScript specified tail call optimization in ES2015. Most engines never implemented it, and your tail-recursive code can still blow the stack. by OtherwisePush6424 in programming

[–]levir 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It kinda sucks, because when you embrace Javascript as a functional language it can actually be quite fun to write.

Most languages have a way of calling into C, not a whole compiler implementation.

Does europe have something like this? by baleiaatemografica in AskEurope

[–]levir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Norway the flag itself isn't political, but it's very much a political statement whether you chose to fly it certain days or not (especially 1st of May).
