Disclaimer; I live in a very moderate climate. So I don't know how this would scale to hotter cities.

My home is equiped with what would translate to a "heatpump". Its a system that uses the warmth deep in the earth to help heating up the home in the winter, but also cools it down in the summer storing excess heat in the well drilled underneath the home or garden.

What it does in summer is basically run cold water through the underfloor heating system.

We've had some very hot days for our climate recently (35 to 38 degrees centigrade, which is around 95 to 100 Fahrenheit) and the temperature inside remained steady at a comfortable 23 degrees centigrade (around 74 Fahrenheit).

The system uses a lot less energy than air conditioning.
Done that, not very hard to have just a dumb ethernet MAC with hardware rx and tx ring buffers. You could map that over PCIe just fine.

Of course no offloading, but you wouldn't notice any performance drops, if the ring buffers are large enough.
That would also be good. But anything to reduce the amount I have to use windows.

> Actually, the answer may surprise you! My experience has been that the electric buses can be louder than their diesel equivalents.

Like a lot of things this will depend on the make and model. In San Francisco, Muni bought a bunch of Skoda electric trolleys in the early 2000s. They were extremely loud compared to their predecessors and their replacements.

Muni also bought some Cummins powered diesel buses around the same time. Those too were extremely loud (roughly 90 dB at not-so-far-away distances), but 90 dB was loud enough to gain some traction with Cummins and Neoplan. Still, these buses were far less grating to me than the old two-stroke diesels (it's a beautiful whine from a mechanical standpoint, but not something I want to hear a few times an hour driving past my house).

> Exhaust smell is not something I've particularly noticed from the remaining diesel busses.

California is well off in this regard, I can't remember seeing more than one or two trucks belching smoke. Even in Europe I don't remember the interior of the buses smelling much of diesel exhaust -- and they shouldn't, you really don't want to expose your passengers to exhaust fumes.

Cuba was an interesting contrast as they burn some of the lowest grade diesel fuel around (and most things are diesel these days). The smell of high sulfur diesel is unlike anything I've smelled before.

Hacker Unlocks 'God Mode' and Shares the 'Key'
Currently, all my remote servers of any import use LUKS to encrypt the PVs. My /boot is a tiny unencrypted filesystem containing just the kernel, and an initrd, which prompts for my decryption key before booting. (afaict, the standard setup)

For remote servers, I reboot them and then have to use a serial console to type in the LUKS password.

Are you saying that with this, I could put an ssh server in the initrd (and I guess I'd have to make sure network was up as well), that I could log in to to provide my LUKS password???? Because that would be ... beautiful.

> the actual execution does not follow scientific principles.

It can't really. The practitioners are generally brought into a project under heavy non-disclosure and generally allowed to keep stats on the project as long as it is completely anonymized. This makes it hard to publish data in a scientific research mode, because it's hard to reproduce or validate independently.

Most of the time the practitioners are called in (hypothetical example) b/c a manager says, "I have the requirements for this project, I have 11 developers on the team, and we need to produce a working model of X by January, which is sufficiently defect free that we can put it in autos for initial test without losing a lot of cars." Thresholds are identified. Then the practitioner goes to his/her database of similar projects and says, "OK, when using these tools, we found you can get this level of defects on projects of x LOCs within the time frame you're going for. However, if you forgo Y, you can get higher levels in 10% less time. Etc." That can be valuable information, rather than just throwing developers at a project and hoping for the best.

The books that you dismiss as consultants just publishing their anecdotal info are often the product of hundreds of projects. Sure, the data is empirical, but it doesn't mean it's not rigorous. You'll note that the numbers in books and articles are often presented as ranges, which is due to the sensitivity of one factor to the presence of other factors (size of project being a particularly prominent factor).

Going to your original point, all established practitioners agree on the leading causes of defects. And this is where I fault most developers today--they plain don't know what those are. They'll guess, but they don't know. Which is what I think I hear you lamenting at the top of this thread.

Disclaimer: I'm not a specialist in this field nor a consultant, but I find its research interesting and have spoken to practitioners.

The goal setup was a 100GW of solar capacity by 2022.
It was about 2KW in 2015 and is about 20KW in 2018. We are most definitely not going to achieve the goal, perhaps not even get close. Lofty goal, sound familiar? I am sorry, I take lofty goals and promises of the Govt. with a pinch of salt until I see some actual implementation.

My time in the party scene was basically '09-11, which was before Techies became The Evil Empire. Back then folks were like "Oh, you work for Google, that's awesome, I love your products." Or even more specifically, "Woah, you worked on [Google doodles|the front page of Google|GFiber], I remember seeing that, tell me more about it." It was starting to change around 2012, but right around then I got a girlfriend, got married, and had a kid, and so I basically only have time to hang out with either my wife's friends (for whom I'm just "X's husband") or the friends I made at Google. I'm vaguely aware that much of SF hates techies (and ironically, a few of my wife's Peace Corps friends are in that bucket, which makes for awkward attempts to mix friends groups), but I don't hang out with those people, nor have I worked for a big tech company for going on 4 years now, so it doesn't affect me much. South Bay - where I go to random meetups - is still very tech friendly because that's basically all people do here.

Interestingly, when I go back home to New England, I get a much warmer reception introducing myself as an ex-Googler than in SF. I still have schoolkids at my high school ask me about what it was like to work on Google Doodles, and I ran into a nice ex-hockey-player on a ferry in Connecticut that asked what I did ("software", without elaboration) and then was like "Oh, that sounds exciting, you must make bank" ("I do okay...").

Anyways, I grew up as a nerd in a small town in the 80s, and whatever hate techies get in SF now is nothing compared to that. The U.S. (and probably the world) has fragmented into a lot of micro-tribes recently that all seem to hate each other, but at least they're tribes where it's not terribly difficult to find others who share your values and appreciate what you do, while in the 80s it was monolithic American culture vs. any individuals unfortunate enough to be different. Techies had a brief moment on top from 1995-2000 and again from 2005-2011 where they were getting rich and the rest of the world was enjoying the products they built, but now that most people take for granted the Internet & mobile world they've built, it's just another corporate industry.
It is because dropbear is very common in embedded systems. They are commonly riddled with vulnerabilities, so they are getting hacked almost as soon as they are publicly reachable. This is not because of dropbear, but because they are typically configured with weak credentials that are newer changed. I guess IRC servers see a lot of spam from such devices, so they just drop all systems which has dropbear.
I guess in a fair and honest world, yes because it's legal?

But in our actual world, it's also legal but publishers may play dirty and somehow claim rights because you published something based on their edition?

The important bit for me was:

> . . . touch screens selectively display the necessary controls during flight and are the primary interface astronauts have with the vehicle. Below are two rows of manual buttons, 38 in total, that provide back-up control of the spacecraft. Many of the buttons are situated beneath clear panels, intended to never be used, because they are often the third option after the touch screens and ground control of the Dragon.

I wonder how much they've tested situations where those 38 buttons are all astronauts have to use in an emergency situation, both with/without gloves.

> One control stood out—a large black and red handle in the middle of the console with “EJECT” printed in clear white letters above it. This initiates the launch escape system, which rapidly pulls the spacecraft away from the rocket in the case of an emergency during the ascent into space. It must be pulled, then twisted. Normally the flight computers would initiate such a maneuver, but the prominence of the escape system handle underlines its importance. Notably, after the vehicle reaches orbit, this control becomes “deadened,” such that accidentally pulling it in space would do nothing.

Similarly, I wonder if removing the judgment call (even at the risk of accidental usage) from the eject handle is wise...

Sadly, I suspect that opening up to the rest of the world will actually make things worse for the average Cuban. Take a stroll through old town Havana and look at all the amazing old buildings that would be converted into million dollar condos during the first six months that rich Americans were allowed to buy property there.

There is a lot of Carribbean around to compare the place to, and frankly, it doesn't compare well to present day Cuba as far as quality of life for the average citizen.

As to your personal attack, I don't know... I don't really see anything wrong with enjoying visiting a place. Or with being nostalgic for what a place used to be. I also, for example, think it's a shame that Belltown in Seattle replaced its cool dive bars with trendy restaurants and condos. But it would be a bit silly to blame me for those dive bars having been there in the first place.
NY Fed Q2 Report: “Total Household Debt Rises for 16th Straight Quarter”
An engineer by definition is somebody who has completed a university course in engineering in a specific discipline. As a practising engineer they demonstrate their skills by having a solid grasp of all applicable principles in their field and being able to apply them to the design of solutions to specific needs and problems.

A computer science education does not make one a software engineer. Just like mathematics and physics knowledge is only the foundations for engineering knowledge. Knowing how and when to apply that knowledge and being familiar with the body of pre-existing practices and standards is the key to being a competent engineer.

Most Americans just don't care. In a few years it will be as unpopular to talk about China's exploits as it is talking about Israel-Palestine. You can argue that Europeans don't care either, but at least the work culture and society is different enough from China to make the latter unappealing. Much less so for Americans.

Thanks for having a look. I'm not a lawyer either, but it appears they just want the rights to do whatever they want with the content from Hacker News. They don't seem to explicitly forbid the use of content from the site.

I mean they provide free access to their content API [1]. So that's a good sign sure they want people to use the content. Although I'm sure they want you to reference the Hacker News source link in whatever purpose you use it for though.

That's also a pretty good Idea, have you got much.

> This is just a teething issue. City buses are geared to top out at low highway speeds, like 50-65mph. Current diesel drive-trains have more than enough go power to send passengers flying but they don't because they're mature technology. Pretty soon they'll figure out how to put the power down in a way that doesn't toss people around.

Electric buses are hardly new or immature technology. The batteries are new, sure, but the motors and their control bits are not. Some vehicles are going to be easier to drive smoothly than others. Take a look at the Van Hool (diesel) buses that Alameda County and Washington DC bought, there are plenty of complaints about how they're jerky by design.
At least in northern Europe, Diesel engines are critical to the agricultural industry. Considering some farmers are still using 40 year-old tractors around here, I doubt the Diesel engines will go away any time soon.

But one of the advantages of Diesel engines are that they aren't really that picky when it comes to fuel. I don't think the engines are going anywhere, but we're probably going to see more and more non-fossil Diesel alternatives being used in the future.
I think obviously so. There's a very simple way to illustrate as such. In particular much of the crime that affects us and surveillance attempts to stop is not particularly new. It's mostly people just killing and hurting each other in ways that are centuries old.

Surveillance of society as a whole has increased on a very sharp exponential scale, yet there's been no clear causal connection to a decline in crime. If surveillance was useful, let alone necessary, to a society being made as safe as it could we would have expected to see a proportional decline in crime with some reasonably decent evidence of a causal link. But that is not present, at all. So we're really just submitting to surveillance and sacrificing ever greater swaths of personal privacy for no real gains.

Further update: On one machine I found that while DwmFlush() reliably keeps sync to the video rate (ie every time it returns is 1/60th of a second after the previous time), this wasn't sufficient to keep the video output stutter free. I tried many things to get rid of the stutters and gave up after an hour. My guess is the the compositor gives no guarantee that it will display every "frame" your app gives it, even if you give it exactly one per vsync.

The next day my machine had rebooted itself (presumably to apply an update) and now the stutter is gone.

That's the kind of thing that didn't happen on an Amiga :-)

China is a lot bigger market than the US. EU is slightly bigger. US is third. Maybe with extended markets (e.g. Central America and Canada for US, Eastern Europe for EU, Belt and Road area for China, US is number two). You need to consider several factors, like number of people, as well.

A big problem for the US is that it is a litle off, while most other social/cultural areas are closely connected. For instance, China and Russia might be almost as close allies as the pre-Trump US and Europe. But because Russia and Europe are so close, in fact the business dependencies between both are quite high as well. So a lot of business happens in that exchange, with high values due to the political risks. Since the US lacks such interdependencies with close neighbors it can survive better in a time like WW2 but it is harder in a long peace time like we currently have.

Caveat: Been a while since I studied this stuff.

The problem with this approach that I see is that it's much more likely to pick up lingering detector issues than the regular test-a-theory. (The difference between looking for a specific thing in a specific place vs picking up anything unexpected.) I wouldn't worry do much about purely statistical artifacts because those can often be worked out with prescriptions and remeasuring. The systematic but not-understood biases are the ones that should plague this approach since in the extreme they would need an independent experiment. I wonder whether CMS and Atlas are sufficient for that.

I started a startup together with a colleague. It´s a lot of work and you don´t get rich (as you said) but there are so many other points that matter. The teams are friendlier, open-minded and are more family than employees. You share time together and work is not strictly planned. Yes, you can learn a lot but you need to work hard to do so and failure is part of it.

All of those are absolutely miniscule when compared to the effect of undermoving and overeating.

The carb/fructose thing is scaremongering. Type 1 diabetes is genetic, type 2 partially genetic, and is not caused solely by carbs/fructose. One of its factors is a generally poor-quality diet, but saturated/trans fat intake plays a larger role than sugars. And all of that is completely dwarfed by the influence of obesity on the risk of contracting type 2 diabetes.

Drinking alcohol does make your body prioritize metabolizing it first, but alcohol also slows down digestion and can make you feel fuller for longer, leading to a decreased food intake. "Beer belly" is a myth.

Eating at night or before going to be is not unhealthier than eating during the day. That has been debunked countless times.

Food addiction is a real thing, however. And unlike tobacco or alcohol, you can't go "cold turkey" (haha) on food and just stop eating. You need rules, motivation and backup.
