So I've been waiting patiently for something equivalent to Home Assistant but for QS and you pop up often. You're probably most expert to say what progress is being made for an integrated QS platform whereby you plop in a new integration and, even if there are a few manual steps (exporting, running a local software tool, etc.) you easily can import, slice on, and chart your data in a time series DB (similar to how with InfluxDB and Grafana you can do with Home Assistant). There were a few open source tools out there on GitHub but the ones I found were dated or didn't seem to have much love or enough of an audience to support them.

OH! I just saw you are the author of HPI which I have starred - it certainly was as close as I found but I pined for more evaluating it about half a year ago. How is progress? What other wise words can you lend?
This is an age old argument. However, the evidence is in favor of platform specific. Most big companies that have built big products using cross platform toolkits (e.g. Facebook) usually end up reversing this decision and building with native APIs in the end. You get better integration, which often has performance, debugging, UI, and feature importance that ends up winning out.

Looking at their app I don't see it as a generic thing at all. They're aiming for consumer-oriented UX... unless you're doing something 100% custom and wild, then you will look out of place on your respective platform using generic toolkits.... or you'll typically have to re-invent the wheel for each platform in some non-native toolkit.

They're also on iOS first. IMHO, UIKit (and soon SwiftUI) is the best mobile development toolkit out there, including generic solutions.
How much more expensive then SLA batteries are these? I've never had a UPS battery last more than 3 years so if they could last 15 years in a UPS, I could shell out up to 5x the cost and not be behind.
I think maybe you saw a bunch of FUD? I’ve seen a ton on here.

There was also a lot of speculation that Apple would quash booting other OSes, and maybe that got into the mix?

FWIW I’m a lifelong Apple user and even if I had the budget I’d hold off a year on ARM Macs, because I’ve learned to avoid first revision models in general.
It definitely took a lot of work not only from me, but also from many different open source contributors to get to this point. We are now at 164 themes which is absolutely crazy!

I'm so happy to hear you got to the checkout process. Thanks a lot for the support ;D
Doesn't seem like I'm confusing the two. Regardless of how the value was decided, you could still get gold in exchange for paper currency through the Treasury at the fixed rate. You can't do that today, because the money isn't backed by gold.
I realize all that I have said has been said before, and better, by others. It's still worth keeping in mind.
1. we had a Linux specialist in a small town high-school in Eastern Europe in 1998, a time when we barely had Internet access

5. I never saw a comprehensive costs analysis of Windows versus Linux that wasn't sponsored by Microsoft, which makes me believe this is a myth perpetuated by people too conservative to change even small habits (if it wasn't for the social factor, I would home-school my child)
The Ns module API was also very clean. This is why we choose it to embed our libraries and expose an HTTP interface to our other internal applications. It's worked reliably for this purpose for years. Since all our development work is inside our module wrapper, we have no immediate plans to move away from AOLserver. It just works fine as a lean web server.
It's a bit of both. You need the app, and the best apps are ones that solve problems you know well. They can become businesses if the problem is one you share with a wide enough number of people. I guess the thing to keep in mind, is if you don't think about profit from the outset, even if you don't initially seek profit, you'll never be able to make profits.
Hey Spooneybarger, I wrote that article. I by no means intended to mislead, I just wanted to keep it simple for a more mainstream audience to digest.

In programming or technical environments, there are literally thousands of factors that come into play, so to avoid the inclusion of all of them, I kept it brief.

Is there any different way you'd phrase the above?
Building things is more fun than marketing.
If we're playing the suppose game, what if the chinese government collapses? That'd turn the tide too, and there's probably a better chance of that happening then there ever being millions of tor exits.
It's probably harmful to pigeon-hole people like that, It would be better (though probably just as predictable) to discuss how people fall into those categories, what these people have to teach each other, and what their next steps are to break out of their respective ruts.
This is what I love about this part of the year. Even if you've had a fairly crummy time of it in previous months (mine was so-so), you can't but help feeling optimistic at the opportunity to starting the new year afresh. Good luck in taking 2011 by the horns and getting what you want out of life!
Huh. I just learned about "one year masters degrees." I realize that some extremely exceptional people can complete a masters degree in one year, but I don't think I'd ever hire someone who came out of a program that was _designed_ to be completed in one year.
> AES was also designed by NSA

No, it was designed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, two Belgian academics.
I'm detecting a bit of a trend here.

* Start with python
* Find out it's a little horrible.
* Hire Guido
* Python still a little horrible.
* Switch to Go
Thanks for your response. I have no doubts that Joyent have good intentions. I'm not a member of Node.js community, so don't take this as me personally (or my company) having an issue with Joyent trademarking the name.

I understand that creating a company with the name "Node Consulting, Inc." that provides Node.js consulting services may create confusion. But why forbid the use of term in the domain name without agreement? For example, Python's trademark policy (http://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/) says that you can't name your company "The Python Company", but they have nothing here about domains.

I have read http://ilt.eff.org/index.php/Trademark:_Domain_Names and the situation about trademarks and domain names is not clear...

Also, why didn't Joyent register "Node" trademark as well?
It would be neat if it could also filter or score domains based on how pronounceable they are.
(Also, it's pretty ironic that I know that MIT is a good tech school but have no idea what a good marketing school is.)
And they are free to do so because the GPS units pose no risk to the aircraft, just as I use my iPad or smartphone on a plane.

Once you start talking about tracking systems that are tied into the plane's avionics in order to deliver information about the aircraft itself, that's another story.
Yes, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000266629080.html - guessing that the AliExpress price is 2x the Taobao price which is ?x the quantity price. I do wonder how fast the controller/flash in this is, though (this is limited to SATA3) - that's now many times slower than the Series X / PS5 speed.
Without wishing to spoil anything, the robot video reminded me very much of the final scenes of the Battlestar Galactica reboot from a decade ago.

They should have waited with the announcement until they got more browsers supported. This is really frustrating.
How are you handling the tax implications of foreign workers? Are you doing something to withhold FICA/FUTA? I'm doing some research and I don't see the exception that says that workers that would otherwise be classified as full-time employees can instead be 1099 contractors simply because they're foreign; on the contrary, the SSA seems to say that you're required to ensure that foreign employees obtain social security numbers.

I'm not a lawyer, but I am an employer, and it is not clear to me that the "1099 remote worker" strategy is as clean a solution to the immigration problem as it's being made out to be.
As I've said before: for me Nim seems to be everything I had wished Go was.
I notice a lot of negative sentiment here re: exit popups. Firstly, let me say that I (as a user) am not a fan. I think it's necessary, however, to consider the context.

If you have a blog, and you'd like to start converting your readers into email subscribers, exit popups are not usually a great way to do that. They tend to turn off a more sophisticated audience, even so far as to discredit the offer based on their use of such "dark patterns". This is (usually) not where you want to use an exit popup.

If you have a landing page, however, an exit popup can do good things for you. In my experience, most landing page conversions happen on the first visit - either you convert the visitor, or you don't. In this case, you're not very concerned with credibility by the time a visitor expresses exit intent (they're already leaving). It's (usually) a good idea to go ahead and go for a lesser conversion (e.g. an email signup instead of a purchase). The worst that can happen is the user leaves and never returns (which was probably already the case).

Hopefully this puts things in perspective. Like I said, I really, really don't like exit popups. I kinda feel like taking a shower after putting one on a page - however, I've run several experiments on landing pages in various verticals and (in my findings) they increase sales. It's fine to be critical of the technique and express your dislike, but if you have any fiscal responsibility to yourself or a client, it's your job to consider whether they might be beneficial, regardless of your personal feelings.
tips for how to be your most confident self this year (preview #10 is listen to more rap music)
If you do submit to HN, don't get too tied up in whether it gets any attention or not. Plenty of quality submissions slip by without rising to the front page.

That said, it's really fun and enlightening to see a high-quality conversation develop around something you've written. Keep writing, submit your work on occasion, and enjoy the process.
Well written! I was just looking for the Shannon Minimum Coding Rate definition the other day, so it was nice to have a quick refresher on the basics.

This also highlights a fundamental issue: the coding scheme is tailored to the expected data input. That's why there's no one-size-fits-all compression algorithm, and you can achieve far greater efficiency if you have a good model of the shape of the input data. (The same applies to lossy)

The MCR is also a nice way to demonstrate how random data can't be compressed. Let's say you have 256 symbols, each with probability 1/256 (independent etc). The Shannon Entropy = -sum(P(x) * log2(P(x) for x in 0..255) = -2^8 * 2^-8 * -8 = 8 bits. No compression possible.
Not without installing extensions or plugins[0]. I like and use Yatse but primarily control Kodi via CEC using my TV's remote, which wouldn't really be suitable for browsing.

A simpler method would be to use Miracast or Chromecast for this.

There is no cliff effect with basic income. You get $1000 because you're alive. If you get a job and are paid $1100 for it, you make a $2100 total. Without basic income your job would be worth only an extra $100 and I understand that it might not be worth the effort. Probably you'd be losing money because of travelling from and back to home.

By the way, the cost for whoever pays those $1000 of basic income is lower because they get back part of them by collecting taxes.
Since the OP was an analogy, I'll attempt one as well.

Say we both operate hot dog stands on opposite corners of the street, each charging $1 per hot dog. Basic Income goes into effect and suddenly 2X as many people can afford hot dogs. You raise your price to $2 in response. If I have any sense, I'll keep my price at $1 or maybe lower it slightly. More people will buy from me, significantly increasing the amount of money I make despite the fact that I haven't raised my prices.

This concept applies to most sectors of the market. People will still be price conscious, and businesses will benefit as much from more customers as they will from higher prices. Even with housing. If more people can afford apartments, more people will decide to convert existing real estate or rent out rooms which will hopefully increase the price competition. This all assumes that there isn't open collusion between market participants of course, which there very well could be. But the general idea is that prices won't rise uniformly in every sector of the economy at once.
Snarky and sarcastic. Honestly, tar is the least hard "hard" thing you'll encounter in the UNIX world.

How about writing a valid firewalld configuration command to open port 8060 TCP and UDP to connections from 10.0.0.0/8 and have it saved and applied immediately.
Yep, it looks easy to replace the function h264_get_next_frame(). I think you could get really decent performance if you used ffmpeg to pre-extract all of the frames into sequential files and serve them statically.
Here’s another thing that surprised me until I experienced it first-hand: one-handed variant of sign language.

I rarely bump into deaf/mute people in Hong Kong. I once saw a guy holding his phone with one hand and doing sign language with the other because he was video chatting over the phone!

Of course, logically we don’t need the invention of mobile phone video chat to warrant the invention of one-handed sign language. You can just imagine some deaf/mute people holding groceries in one hand and still needing to talk. One shouldn’t have to expect them to drop the groceries on the floor in order to talk.

Nevertheless, it never occurred to me until I saw it.
i have been using C# since 2010.I find it a good language but I believe the future is not for strict statically typed languages and but for smart linters which probably could take over compilers.

The effort you put into strict types doesn't deliver the returns. Languages like Typescript incmy opinion are the best as they provide optional typing and support things mixins for example which is difficult to implement in C#
This platform expansion looks like it’s laying the groundwork for the launch of Apple’s own long rumoured Tile competitor
> The company said users will be able to report such behaviors but it may also investigate cases proactively, for instance if there is a verified news report that a user has been arrested.

> ...

> The new standards will apply even if the target of the offline behaviors is not a Twitch user or if the perpetrator was not a user when they committed the acts. Perpetrators would also be banned from registering a Twitch account, it said.

> Twitch said it would take action only when there was evidence, such as screen shots, videos of off-Twitch behavior or police filings, verified by its internal team or third-party investigators. Users who submit a large amount of frivolous reports will face suspension.

If you are accused of a crime you will be banned from Twitch?
Is there a /r/nottheonion but for programming? You can't make this stuff up.

"In C++20 stateless lambdas are default constructible and assignable which allows to use a type of a lambda to construct/assign it later. With Lambdas in unevaluated contexts we can get a type of a lambda with decltype() and create a variable of that type later."

"Sometimes generic lambdas are too generic. C++20 allows to use familiar template function syntax to introduce type names directly."
The book chapter is about form for running fast, but most of the comments are about form for training. In terms of injury prevention, I'd agree that the latter is important, but the book chapter doesn't have a lot to do with this. All the pictures are of people running better than 5 minutes/mile, with some probably running faster than 4 min/mile. But almost all running injuries are the cumulative effect of lots of slower miles, run at 6, 7, or 8 minutes/mil, or even slower (though the difference between 6 min/mile and 8 min/mile is pretty significant). Good form at those speeds is markedly different.

For fun, try to find footage of Kenny Moore running. Looks absurd, so knock kneed, but terrifically fast in his day.
The balance of forces was such that it was very conceivable that most of the US could remain unscathed in a nuclear war with the Soviet Union in the 1950s. The strategic disparity was simply too huge. Therefore, shelters made tons of sense.
I am curious what the impact of sinking iodine, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and other trace elements along with the gigatons of carbon will turn out to be.
Really poor headline. This has nothing to do with hacking SHA1: it's just a dictionary attack on the passwords in question.

SHA1 (and MD5 and similar constructions) are especially vulnerable because they are fast to evaluate (OpenBSD's Blowfish scheme and cperciva's scrypt feature a scalable amount of work), but this is not a break of SHA1 per se.

Still, a nice demonstration of what GPU programming can do.
Interesting idea. Reading through the threads it becomes apparent that the attackers are targeting home wired/wifi routers. The attacker sits on your gateway and passively monitors your traffic with you being none the wiser!
That's really quite sad - are the script kidiots hoping to take over a bunch of SGI's?

Highly improbable, the programme is incredibly intensive. We will actively encourage you to find someone to work with.
Agreed. I can't think of a time when you'd need to use it either (and I wrote the post). But, coming from working in Java for the past few years, it seems pretty cool that you can do it.

Not sure. Incarceration rate is almost directly tied to rhe level of inequality in the society, so even if USA takes away these laws, will change, but dramatically.

The real story is Ben and Moisey were running one of the largest hosting co's in porn and then there was a security problem via one of their upstream providers and it created a DISASTER. Thats how DO was born from what I understand.
Hasura has been a pleasure to use, but I worry a lot about their SaaS structure.

Caching is hugely important and really needs to be integrated at the graph level, but they lock it behind their Cloud offering. Not open source, nor testable in any way before committing.

To further compound, their cloud offering is one of the least compelling I’ve seen. Totally offensive limits on the free tier, a fake $99 tier that is severely limited, and then goes straight to enterprise.

The other day I learned about fly.io and wow, comparing the two it’s just a totally different world. Almost 100x more generous free tier, way more features, and flexible. I have no relation to them, and I do use Hasura for our company, I just hope Hasura steps it up and competes a lot harder.

They shouldn’t lock basically essential features into a cloud-only, closed source model, and they should really push the cloud stuff to work at the edge and honestly just don’t lock people into your cloud (sell a license to use caching how you want and I’d buy it). To be honest I don’t see how they ever fully compete with something like fly which really can focus on infra. I do hope they figure it out.
HN BTC skeptics are not the target audience. This is an ad targeting rich, nontechnical boomers who are unhappy they missed the ride up.
For desktop computers this is a lot easier, for laptops it's still not that easy. The motherboards are not just COTS "Asus z490 prime" or whatever, and you can't just include a nice standard USB mouse which requires no drivers. If you don't have a good plan for how you will ensure you have good motherboard firmware and touchpad drivers, then they won't turn out good.

Luckily it seems like Framework do have this well under control (somewhat quietly :)

Berkshire Hathaway's market cap is 583 billions though, so it's still 76% invested.
As a person who was homeschooled much of my life , my background differs from the author of this article. I had only undergone public school from kindergarten to second grade and within that timespan had attend several different schools in two states: Georgia and Washington. Besides two years of education at a technical school and two quarters of college I had little in the way of a public education.

The author glorifies homeschooling in a way that I’ve seen again and again. Similar to the idiom “the grass is always greener on the other side” they neglect to realize that homeschooling has it’s own set of problems, of which I hope to explain, and overlook the downsides and trade offs that it comes with.

1. You do not have an infinite amount of time to learn and still face deadlines to turn in school work (yes, we do refer to it as “homework”).

2. Unless you start off as homeschooled, transitioning from public education to what is a primarily self based learning system has a steep learning curve.

3. In conjuncture with example two, the work books are usually outdated and behind public education standards. You are REQUIRED to take the same state testing, be it the GED or the highschools, at the end of every year. This makes it difficult to pass the test.

4. What you grow and “hone” to practice self learning does not translate well to the public. You may be able to do something extremely well but businesses and companies want you to follow their standards. You need to be able to work with others and adapt.

The transition to learning from home is showing to be tough on the mass majority of those who are unfamiliar with self learning. My first college quarter was entirely online and it felt almost like homeschooling. If you would not be able to succeed in this environment, you will not in homeschooling either.

I wish I could talk to the Author face to face and comfort them. I understand what it’s like to go between vastly different learning environments, the annoying teachers, the wish for everything to be less convoluted, and the inability to express myself or any personal freedoms I had at that age. However, as horrible as the public education system is, you can’t run away from it hoping to never experience anything like it again. I’m sorry. I really am.

As a side note, I imagine the narcissism the author displays for his peers “falling into line” will be one they change in the future. I’m speaking from personal experience.

Isn't the simplest explanation that the options where not in the money, the strike price was higher than the selling price?
I think in areas with more traditional cultures, educating girls DOES improve the situation over a longer time horizon.

Those girls will become mothers, and their education will translate to providing better opportunities and a more sophisticated outlook for their children.

I agree it seems sexist to only help girls, but helping anyone is good.
