Forgive my ignorance, but what should it be doing instead?

Lombok is a very divisive framework in Java, with strong opinions on both sides.

Given that, it's a bold choice to include Lombok in a library that other developers will pull into their stack - it's likely to make this a non-starter from those in the 'no' camp.

As Lombok is just compiler sugar, when building an SDK for other developers, it's probably less alienating to just write the boilerplate that Lombok saves you from.

Lombok is a compile-time dependency. Consumers of a library using lombok don't need to depend on lombok, so I don't see why it would matter?

The symbols remain in the final library, necessitating either class exclusions within the scope of a JAR you don't control (which is a terrible idea) or the addition of a dependency which is irrelevant, inert, and has no place in your codebase.

It is embarrassing for a library to ship ABI-visible symbols from Lombok.

You don't have to learn morse code to pass the initial HAM test.

In the US, I don't believe morse is required for any tier of license anymore. For sure, I have my general and don't know it.

Yes, it's any ham test in the U.S.

The sw code (morse) portion was eliminated back in the 2000s.

Or any ham test in the united states (note: learning Morse code is worth doing anyway)

There was a youtube video I came across a few weeks ago which took Usain Bolt's world record and did a bio-mechanical analysis to see how far off he was from his absolute theoretical best. It was... surprisingly close. I think they had him at like an 8.9s 100m if he did everything perfectly.

For those who don't know the current records well, from Wikipedia[0]:

The men's world record is 9.58 seconds, set by Jamaica's Usain Bolt in 2009, while the women's world record is 10.49 seconds, set by American Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1988[a].

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_metres [a] is a footnote on the wikipedia page, discussing the validity of the record due to wind speed measurement concerns; read the page and footnote if you care about that level of detail

Why should we believe this theoretical approach is more accurate than the 30 meters believed to have been the limit for diving?

It will be interesting to see what records the Enhanced Games (where athletes are allowed to take [more/different] performance enhancing drugs openly) throw up when they are held.

You'd need to persuade someone already at a pretty elite level to take part though. Maybe someone who just did their last Olympics?

They may do better than unenhanced humans (a fair number of eastern bloc records from the pre-testing era still stand today, especially in women's throwing events), but they're not going to exceed any hard biomechanical limits. No drug can grow more type II fibers or change the firing rate of the nerves.

The one extreme option out there is surgery to change the attachment point of the tendon to the bone, generating more torque from the same contractile force. Some possibly acropyphal rumors claim lifters in nations with very unscrupulous doctors may have done that when the opportunity presented itself because of an incidental muscle tear.

I agree in that they won't make bones tougher or tendons more elastic. They maybe able to add more TypeII fibres though if they grow additional muscle?

The other big thing on the horizon is gene doping, such as with Myostatin in Bully Whippets.

I believe this depends on the location of hosting. One version is that things are hosted by URI on wizards.com. Another is the data being stored on something content-addressable like IPFS where anyone with the content can verifiably attest to both ownership (b/c it's on the block chain) and that this is the real thing (b/c the content hashes match).

Not OP, but based on my (limited) understanding.. it should be possible to use something like a smart contract to provide a stable and auditable surface area whereby two parties could exchange funds for goods via escrow. You would be trusting the underlying platform, but it seems to remove the dependence on the person selling to you as being a good actor.

Can’t you do that with a normal escrow service? People do it every day when they buy houses and other expensive items.

Why bother with blockchain?

Almost certainly not. Apple wants people to use apps, so "pushing people to use apps" wouldn't be cause for backlash.

Instead, I suspect they saw the money that patreon made and want a (30%) slice of that pie.

Just mentioning that tracking isn't left as a rough draft, but rather it's being actively worked on. For reference, eBay uses OpenFeature for their experimentation tooling.

Folks here might also be interested in https://calagator.org/ (portland's tech meetup calendar) which is open source and also in rails. https://github.com/calagator/calagator

You have to choose good defaults. For some systems, that's fail open. For others, it's different. I'd also begin to ask "are there solutions that are futher upstream and/or lower on the OSI model where we could handle this level of overwhelm?"

You could set it in a header (w3c baggage?) which is monitored by a dashboard, as an example.
