Growing up in Switzerland, when we lived on the outskirts of Bern, we would get our milk from such a dispenser at a farm. It was a 5min walk to the farm, and we'd bring our own bottle and fill it up from a spout. The milk was fresh and unpasteurized, so we'd have to leet it sit in the fridge for a few hours to separate it from its cream.
Currently, my ideal setup is GLinet Spitz X750, with the LTE modem swapped out to a MC7455 for maximum compatibility (for mpcie slotted cards) with the world's LTE bands. Then run GoldenOrb's ROOter. The x750 has integrated dual band simu WiFi, and has an integrated slot and pigtails for the modem. Since I travel a lot, I can power this entire thing off of an Anker USB power bank.

Today, you can go the route of: 1) OpenWRT with ModemManager, 2) WiFix's ROOter, or 3) GoldenOrb's ROOter. Personally I like GoldenOrb's ROOter because it has a nicer UI interface that I can access from my phone. You can SSH into it and hack the scripts to get things to work exactly how you want to as well.

Shoutout to the GLinet team, they actually listen to feedback.

I don't entirely agree with this. I think it's useful to build a proof of concept even without any follow-up plans or objectives.

Besides the fact that it'll be easier to visualize and present the idea to people, the act of building a proof of concept or a real MVP would be learning experiences themselves.

In fact thinking about what's to be included as part of the MVP and prioritizing to fit within a pre-set deadline would be extremely valuable.
Surprised (and delighted!) to see this pop up on the front page of HN today! This course is designed to teach proficient coders the practice of deep learning, that is: how to train accurate models; how to test and debug models; and key deep learning concepts. It covers applications in vision, natural language processing, tabular data, and recommendation systems.

If you're interested in diving deeper into the papers and math behind the scenes, as well as coding from the lowest levels (right down to the compiler level), you'll be interested in "Deep Learning from the Foundations", which is coming out in 2 weeks. The last two lessons are co-taught with Chris Lattner (creator of Swift, LLVM, and Clang).

Ask HN: KISS and front-end development in 2019?
I am a teacher by profession but have been a self-taught coder and web developer for 20 years. I'm comfortable using microframeworks like Flask on the back-end, but my front-end skills are truly lagging. I default to hand-crafted HTML5 like it's 2008. And don't even mention my JavaScript/ECMAScript skills!

I know I need to modernize my front-end development skills, but, to be quite frank, I'm totally disinterested in the currently en-vogue ecosystem of JavaScript packages, package managers, build furnaces, dependency demagogues -- well, let's just say it's too much for me to manage in my spare time.

So how does one Keep it Simple, Sweetie? The KISS philosophy has guided my design decisions since I started coding in LOGO when I was 8. How can it guide my front-end development in 2019?
Watching the City Council meeting where the repealed the head tax was pretty remarkable. It was like watching a hostage video.

I thought I did things right and had setup regular scrubbing. The two external drives that were btrfs mirrors of each other got out of sync, I assume caused by a power outage (the host was a laptop and has a battery, a rare scenario I guess, so I can see how this happened). Due to not reading the man page correctly, I then messed things up further...

This was like a year ago and I still haven't cleaned it all up due to: (1) lack of a third drive to restore stuff to (I'd prefer to leave the damaged filesystems in read-only), (2) a lack of time, (3) there now seems to be a bug in the kernel drive for my particular drives (perhaps it wasn't a power outage after all?), and (4) because I now live far away from the physical location of the drives.

Instead of using Btrfs to fix problems, I am now looking for the simplest possible solution. I was thinking of just using plain old ext4 and relying on one local and one off-site backup. It will be more work to manually look at the state of my files when a failure happens, but with something like Restic I'm at least confident that any completed backups are sound (as well as secure: Restic is the first system that I've found to be efficient while also trusting the crypto enough to back up to untrusted locations). The only open question is what to do about bit rot on the main system, since any bit rot on ext4 would just be backed up as if it was the original data. So then... maybe I'll go with Btrfs after all, using only the checksumming feature should not cause any bugs right? I haven't decided yet. First up is trying to fix this driver issue somewhere next week.

> Excess solar-based energy could be used to store energy that is later used in off-peak hours. Now, storage is a huge challenge (at least if you want it to be environmentally-friendly; otherwise - Tesla already makes a 300 MW-hour Li-Ion battery) - but it's coming along I think.

"Excess solar energy" isn't really a thing. Due to the economics, there is no reason to even look at widespread storage until we already have enough solar capacity to satisfy the differential between daytime and nighttime demand. But just doing that is going to consume 100% of the available panel manufacturing capacity for at least a decade.

To cover baseload as well isn't just a question of storage. First you would need to more than triple that amount of solar generating capacity. You'd need enough to satisfy not just the differential between the baseload and peak but the entire peak demand -- while charging the energy storage for nighttime use on top of that, including the conversion losses in both directions.

Only then do you add the cost of storage, which currently isn't economical. It may become so in the future, or it may not, but that's ten or twenty years in any event before we can even start constructing it, much less finish. And there is a non-trivial chance that economical storage technology never materializes.

> About cracks in solar panels - those are:

> 1. Mostly localized (i.e. not a dust storm and such)

Not really. In many cases it is a dust storm, or hail, or a tornado or hurricane or some other weather event.

In other cases it's just time. You have a million panels and every year some percentage of them get cracked by wildlife or tree branches or weather or rogue humans. The damage accumulates.

This is actually a significant issue for solar farms when they reach end of life. What happens then? Just abandoning them in situ would be a serious environmental problem, but the incentive to file for bankruptcy and do exactly that would exist once enough of them are damaged that the cleanup cost exceeds the value of the remaining panels.

> 2. Doesn't produce a chain reaction - if a few panels are beginning to crack, you would isolate them and inspect the rest. Even if they've completely cracked it's not that bad.

It's potentially worse than that, because solar installations tend to be more distributed and have less oversight, so instead of one big problem you have a million cumulative little problems. Which is actually harder to solve because a million little leaks are harder to plug than one big one, and you're adding coordination and distribution problems on top of the engineering problems.

The homeless can be classified into two groups: temporary and chronic. In any given year, temporary is about 80% of the homeless. We have a okay track record at helping the temporarily homeless, and lower housing costs would make it both less prevalent and cheaper to address.

However, the chronically homeless, at ~20% of the population, take up over 50% of the budget. They aren't able to live independently, regardless of any reasonable cost of living. They're also the most visible group.

We should keep in mind that the solutions for the two are vastly different.

When those taxes pay for services and amenities that make your city more attractive and it grows you get two broad benefits: network effect, and quality of life. Network effect is largely your property value going up. Quality of life is from things like more goods and services located closer to you as density increases. If you don’t want either of those things you probably don’t want to live in a city.
> which is operating at record levels of employment.

Depends on your classification of "employment". For the last 30 years the UK government DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) has being classifying all sorts of things as "employment" including folks who work on zero hour contracts, which aren't full employment. Governments get to classify all sorts of things as "record levels" of employment, meanwhile these "employed families" are still having to rely on foodbanks to feed themselves.
I know it was rhetorical but define "obligation" and "have". Obligation in a moral sense is a matter of opinion. In the practical sense: What happens if the obligation isn't fufilled? Piano tuners are of lesser importance than teachers in terms of consequences for lacking entirely.

There are alternatives for everything with their own price. Even if it is horrific like "die of rabies instead of getting vaccinated after being bit".

If availability of workforce in a broader area is high but in city housing they afford is low either they need to be paid more or traffic and commute time will increase and make the job less desirable which may affect skill level and harm labor availability.

Building a proof of concept is an incredibly expensive way to figure out what clients want. And many times you find out you're so far off that none of the project is reusable.

Also plenty of clients will take meeting without an proof of concept. And this is especially true when you have a really good idea.
The answer is the same as everywhere: history. Not just the product build, but continuous integration, test suites (test themselves are largely JS, of course) and release management, are all tied together with Scons and lots of custom Python.

The same thing is trying to happen in scientific publication that's been happening in every other published medium: scarcity is gone. So why not embrace the abundance? Well if there's any contrary case to be made, it's that the explosion in quantity inevitably reduces the average quality. In the arts, low quality corresponds to that ineffable quality of shittiness. In news, it's fakeness. In science, it's irreproducibility. So what do you do? All the former built-in scarcity-based ways of filtering for quality went out the window along with the scarcity itself. You can no longer use the limited space on physical sheets of papyrus (or vinyl LP records, or celluloid) as an excuse to exclude things. So you need new ways of sorting out good quality work from the (suddenly vast) quantities of mediocre work. Seems like you're doing pretty well if you're lucky enough to have a whole new class of people step in to help with the filtering part. Unless of course you believe a scientific discovery is fundamentally the work of a person, an ego, rather than a fact that existed long before that particular person happened to discover it.

Democratization ends elitism; unfortunately elites sometimes really do consist of the best of a given thing. Especially newer elites.

A lot more of this goes on than video conferencing. Culturally the eye contact thing is not actually universal, there are understandings that the lack of eye contact is due to the video conferencing setup. So maybe the personal vanity selfie taking use case is what wins it here.

I think you're best off using what you're familiar with, and keeping multiple backup copies of the important stuff. I've used Btrfs for 9-10 years and haven't ever had unplanned data loss. Planned, due to testing, including intentional sabotage, for bug reporting, yes. And in the vast majority of those cases, I could still get data off by mounting read-only. I use it for sysroot on all of my Linux computers, even the RPi, and for primary network storage and three backup copies. A fourth copy is ZFS.

If you've had a negative experience, it can leave a bad taste in the mouth. People do this with food too, "I once got violently sick off chicken soup, I'll never eat it again." I wouldn't be surprised if there's an xkcd to the effect of how filesystem data loss is like food poisoning.

There is a gotcha with Btrfs raid10, it's does not really scale like a strict raid 1+0. In that traditional case, you specify drive pairs to be mirrors, sometimes with drives on different controllers so if a whole controller dies, you still have all the other mirrors on other controller and the array lives on. You just can't lose two of any mirrored pair. Btrfs raid10 is not a raid at the block level, it's done at the block group level. The only guarantee you have with any size Btrfs raid10 is the loss of one drive.
I have been using btrfs in RAID 10 at home for several years with no issues. From what it sounds like, he didn't really have any issues with RAID 5, but btrfs scrub took longer than the ZFS equivalent.

I'm even using btrfs with zstd compression on my laptop since it only has a small ssd (64 GB) and it makes it a lot more usable.

So, in the UK, if you're on unemployment benefit (UB) you're permitted to work up to 15 hours a week. But that wage is deducted from your UB. That work counts towards "employment" as far as the current UK stats are concerned.
