Perhaps not that useful to people who do frequently drink coffee but coffee makes me feel awful. Sweatiness, shaking, diarrhea. From just a single cup.

I do drink it occasionally because I really like the taste but I frequently end up regretting it.
This.

A good book on this is "We were burning" Japanese were able to make chips with less defects simply because they were more clean and careful. Folks didn't even realize that specks of dust could ruin chip manufacturing. It was the observance that cleanliness leads to high yields that because the origin of clean room.
I think as a user you shouldn't need to see or know anything about APIs or OS internals. Your apps should just work.
My bank has audio biometry (Tatrabanka, Slovakia), they verify your voice during your call automatically. The voice sample is recorded when you open your account. Only if it fails they may ask for additional proof. But I never call the bank since all can be done through the app or web.

Investment in fission technology has no practical impact in fusion development.

Practically speaking, better solar will be more helpful to spacefaring than better fission.
When you say “going” mainstream... it’s been in popular fiction for at least decades (e.g. The X Files in the 90s).
Wouldn't it? If the complaint is that the project is too hard to find and too hard to form any kind of online community (searchable blog posts, forum posts, etc) around, then a fork with a more distinctive name should become the dominant version by accreting the larger userbase.
I went through 4 toasters in quick succession, never bothered keeping box or receipts so had no recourse. 18 months ago I bought a Tesco own brand, under a tenner, and it's still going. BUT it can't take a standard size piece of bread. Beyond the absurd, I rotate my toast daily whilst banging my forehead on the counter. (I did keep the box and receipt this time, I really must take it back)
This is awesome. Do you have a sense of how many users it takes to solve the empty room problem? Is 2 enough?
In order to have the systems testify for themselves, they have to use forensic methods throughout. As much as I love them, that’s not the Wayback Machine.

Failing that, I don’t see any alternative to having an expert human who can testify that the material presented to them by the Wayback Machine is actually an authentic representation of the content from the time.
Seems like there's two things here:

1. username handles
2. unique page urls

For the usernames I would use system generated (numeric or uuid) internal ids that are associated with usernames.

For the page urls, I would let the author use any string, generating a semi-meaningful default for seo. The page url should include the username handle and so the unique part for the page only has to be unique for that username.

This means that say the db for page urls will have a unique constraint on (user_id, page_url_suffix) where the user_id is the numeric/uuid one. So if user with handle xxx is deleted and a new user uses handle xxx only the new urls for that user are still accessible.
Coincidentally, I ran in this paper just now, on latin squares (one of the mentioned fields): https://malmskog.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/revised-math-ma...
Do you have examples of brands to look at?
> I mean, they do care about you. I assume you have a bank account, or personal information that can be used to open a credit card under your name?

That is not caring about me though. Honestly at that point you are spreading the same sort of hand-wavy FUD that is used to take away user control "because security".

> Most of that is specifically designed with security in mind. For instance the GPU has it's own MMU so you can't use it to break the boundaries between user mode and kernel mode.

Again, i'm not talking about not having security at all.
That's a racist terminology, should be called "Person of color matter".

Ask HN: What would your dream CI/CD pipeline tool be like?
If you could wish for whatever you wanted, what would your perfect CI/CD tool be like?

- how would you create new builds?

- what do you expect to be required to do to create a dev, stage, prod deployment, and how to set it up?

- what would you pay for a solution like the one you imagine?

- would you reward if the solution wouldn't lock you to it, to a specific cloud or anything at all?

If you're a professional Devops/fullstack engineer, please try to look at it like you're "just" an application engineer ... so you're not into terraform, ansible etc.
>USB-A still works, you just need a compatibility layer (a dongle).

Assuming you work at a company willing to spend the money on official Apple dongles and not cheap flakey clones.

Unfortunately few companies will do that and now all Apple I/O goes through cheap unreliable dongles.
This is probably tone deaf, but instead of giving the auto workers more money or open more factories, what if they gave them stock grants? If you gave them stock, they workers wouldn't want to open factories that would cause GM to lose money. It would keep the worker and the management incentives aligned.
Their sets have always been expensive, though my older (late 80s through late 90s) ones were much bigger for a comparable price (with similar or smaller part counts—they love putting hundreds of tiny little pieces for really fiddly construction in modern sets, it's awful, I assume CAD or something is to blame) but a regular old box o' bricks is pretty cheap, and if you're not trying to buy complete high-demand sets they're cheap in mixed brick lots on ebay, too.

As a maintainer of realtime DSP/audio software I am forced to agree with the University in this case. If they let it slide even this once these kids would spend the rest of their lives making block calls and only ever measuring average performance to gauge their self worth.

I am from a poorer European country, and I've never noticed that. But it's a commonly held belief. We're paying the same prices or higher, so I don't see how it makes sense to sell devices that don't pass QC for other countries :/
So, in other words, classic car manufacturers have a 70 year head-start in automation?

An EV has far fewer parts than an ICE-vehicle, if not now, then when their production reaches the same level of automation, they'll definitely be less manual labor-intense than ICEs.
Non-interactive big room lectures can work but, in my experience, mostly by really top-notch lecturers especially for topics that are a bit less technical or, at least, not wholly math centric.

One big issue I think is that the big lecture hall environment is something of an anachronism. There is something of a forcing function but, for the most part, with a modicum of production work, the video version can actually be more useful than the live one. (At conferences these days, which I mostly attend for the "hallway track" anyway, I find I usually prefer to watch the streaming feed than to be crammed in a room with 10,000 of my closest friends.)
We see a drastic improvement in engagement when even 2 people are in the team. That's by far the best.

The nice thing about a check is that you can give it to anyone. You don't need to know where they have a bank account or even if they have a bank account. (Check cashers may charge usurious fees but I'm glad they exist, as a backstop if nothing else.) On the other hand I can't send money via PayPal to someone who only has a Venmo account, or vice versa, and PayPal and Venmo are the same company!

The inter-bank services like Zelle and Popmoney might be a little better, though I've never used them and don't know if they're really catching on. Can you send money via Zelle to an account at a non-Zelle bank? I know it's all ACH under the hood (even most checks get turned into ACH these days) but I don't really know how the permissions around that work.

As for the unbanked, there's always cash.
Yeah AFAIK there is only a single programmer who primarily worked on macOS support and he had to work on both the Carbon and Cocoa backends.
The Fischer-Tropsch process is about 50% efficient. (This is starting from biomass, it will be worse starting with air and extracting CO2, which is hard because less than 0.05% of air is CO2) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001623611...

Then the fuel is burned. Internal combustion engines are typically 20% efficient. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine?wpr...

So burning synthetic fuel would be 50% * 20% = 10% efficient.

Compare that to an electricity roundtrip through a li-ion battery which is 95% efficient, and an electric motor which is 85% efficient at converting electrical energy to mechanical. Even with additional transmission losses, the pure electric system is going to be vastly more energy efficient.

Doesn’t it also display warnings, cleaning and maintenance messages ?

All coffee machines I’ve seen with any kind of screen made extensive use of it for messaging purposes. It is a lot more useful than some led blinking twice for cleaning and three times when there’s no water in the tank.
Haha, thanks! From what people have been telling us - naming the problem definitely helped to frame the problem better.
There’s an entire learning curve before the learning curve we normally think of. Basic computer literacy, basic literacy even, communication skills, people skills, planning skills. And this isn’t even getting to things like typing or right clicking. Yes some computer scientists get by without typing skills but I think you’ll find they have basic literacy and analytic skills at least.
Linux is a very different case. Linus is talking about the kernel breaking comparability with userspace.

The kernel not breaking userspace is quite a different thing, and in particular when comparing the macOS kernel and Linux because Linux specifically has a stable ABI and macOS doesn't. On macOS it's libsystem that provides the stable abi and kernel interfaces change underneath.

Beyond the kernel API's and libsystem you have the actual platform interfaces.
Carbon is a deprecated framework and has been for a long time. If apps are using carbon then they must get updated, Apple has been warning about this since 2017 (beyond just the depreciation notice in 2012 and everything in between).

And Windows95 apps almost certainly do not run unmodified... it's been awhile and things may have changed, but as I recall in XP (sp2, even?), they introduced the thing to run an app in compatibility mode and you actually select which is version to be compatible with. This works in some cases and not in others.
Not to mention win32 support has held back Windows stability and progress for a long time.
That's probably true, but then there needs to be a rapid coinciding ramp up of public transport like doubling or tripling the fleet of busses. Which could work! And it would have the added benefit of ever so incrementally reducing emissions from vehicles.
It's not hard. Show what you've put into production or open-source work. If you see a job ad saying they require a degree, they're more than likely trying to weed away incompetent people.

There are lots of uses for nuclear technology in space other than propulsion. Nuclear has huge power to weight advantages, critical for space. Nuclear would also be vastly cheaper if we deregulated the industry and enabled mass production of components, as with nuclear and solar.

(As it is, China will ship us subsidized solar while developing thorium technology itself, enabling it to become the dominant technological superpower.)
It's not like there's a limit on space. Also this is a choice, and having choices is pretty good IMHO.
Is it really too much of a stretch that being physiologically fit positively affects other areas of the body than the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems?

For millions of years, the evolutionary winners of the human race were able to cognitively and physically outperform others. It makes intuitive sense that peak health has an “entourage effect” on other areas of the body.

Only if you find it interesting or if its causing issues, otherwise its a waste of time. Be clear about what strengths you bring to the table and work on those.

1) CCS has 7000+ stations in EU and as EU cars start to take over EV market share from JP ones you will see that standard dominate across the US.

2) Model S can charge at up to 200kW. Porsche Taycan can charge up to 270kW and they have said a software update will push this to 400kW-500kW. We still aren't sure what Porsche's superior 800V architecture is capable of.

3) Porsche doesn't need to build a charging network. They can use the existing CCS ones provided by third parties many of which are starting to rollout 350kW charging.

Do vscode/gopls work fine with modules now? I was getting sluggish behaviour in the past.
No it's about money and who gets it. Unless electric cars are going to generate less revenue than petroleum based, which they won't, the pie is the same size.

That manufacturing becomes more efficient is no surprise: it always has. The question is whether they have fewer workers at the same compensation level, fewer workers at a higher compensation level or the same number of workers with fewer hours.

Owners are pushing for the first, labor wants anything except the first. And while Keynes envisioned the last, that has clearly no been allowed to happen. It is an archetype case of who benefits from technical improvements and forces driving inequality.
It follows from the definitions of a battery and a cell:

> battery: a container consisting of one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power.

> cell: a device containing electrodes immersed in an electrolyte, used for current-generation or electrolysis.

An antimatter reactor would not be a battery because it would not contain any cells. Additionally, because it converts nuclear energy into useful power, not chemical energy.
Since go makes it so easy to build a binary for most any platform, I think one area anyone could introduce is it into their toolkits is by building small, simple, purpose-built programs you can easily run on the command line to perform a repetitive task.
I think it’s even more basic than that. It’s basic logic skills. Boolean logic. I mean these are often people who blindly believe politicians they like are truthful, and ones they don’t like can’t be truthful. They seem to have no ability to examine facts and draw conclusions consistently.

Oh and age by itself has nothing to do with it. There are old people who could pick it up because
they have the right fundamentals. Sure there are some challenges that come with age, but let’s not sweep all old people into the category of “cannot enter a programming career.”

I’m not saying that’s what you were doing. I think you were talking about age as a further factor compounding the difficulty on top of already lacking basic related skills.
Office Mobile and even IE were fine, though I used Opera. This was pre iPhone, and I even had 3G with tethering on the HTC Tytn. Stuff was way ahead of its time, and worked great at the time. There were no alternatives!

I will never call any Apple stuff revolutionary, it's just not. It's an improvement over existing things.

Really glad to see a few projects like this recently. For teaching it's _so_ good to be able to quickly help kids analyze a position (even when you have no real right to be teaching people chess) without blundering. I do think the loop needs to be closed with better, more explainable chess engine analyses on the other side though, but this is fantastic for a hackathon project!
The subject matter, class size, and student body probably lent itself better to more active classes but I certainly found many of my business school classes more engaging than many of the big undergrad lectures I sat through. (There were some really good undergrad lecture classes as well although they were generally not core engineering/science classes.)

I'm sure it's also true that forced participation in classes is doubtless tough for a lot of people. Again, not really an issue in business grad school, but I can see it being something of a problem in other settings.
I also want a Go game recorder. No features just a game recording to have the enjoyment of playing with a real board and still have the game file for later review.

First, it's a matter of principle.

Second, there are 1000 ways to slice and dice and present findings the way you want, even if the data are "public & verifiable".

Heck, you can spin things even if the processing you did is reproducible and freely available (e.g. as a script) AND the results are against your bias -- in the wording and tone of your paper.

A double major in math and X is often a pretty strong combination. Graduate economics is really helped by math skills for example. Math alone is fine but you usually end up looking for another field to get a job so why not start with a double major? . I am biased because I got a double major in math and computer science though ;-)

> Rebellious middle school drop-out (no offence) workers earning basic income plus 1.5x overtime wages

It's very ironic that when you are going to a higher tier contract manufacturer, you can expect worse results these days.

We often work with small contract manufacturers who very narrowly specialise in high value and low volume runs.

They have very competitive HR policy for good assembly line workers, and are meticulous on work hygiene (like strict 8h shifts, mandatory physical exam, mandatory P.E. and rests.) CNY15000 for a professionally educated assembly line worker with 4-5 years of experience and proof of skills is not a rarity there.

Same with SMT technicians industry wide. Up to date training certificates + 5-7 years of work experience on high end equipment sets CNY15000 as a minimum for a good professional. SMT technicians make higher net salaries in China now than in USA! Totally true, go google it.

You think cost? We don't give a square f* about that when labour on even low volume and poorly mechanised production runs makes less than 10% of product value. Dramatically lower return rates and faster turnovers pay for that like 10 times over.
