I tried awesome around 2012 for a while but found that I didn't like it. My tastes and habits have changed substantially since then so I might try awesome or another tiling WM. Before I used Gnome I used IceWM and I might give that another try too, as I think it has some basic tiling features.
"Gen IV nuclear energy is clean, efficient and plentiful - why the fear?"

Despite all the promises, in practice they are super expensive and take forever to build. The UK is currently building a new reactor at Hinkley Point. The total cost keeps going up with the latest estimate at £22bn. The UK government has to provide a guaranteed minimum price for the electricity it generates to ensure investors put money into the project. So every UK household will be paying more for power for 35 years because of just this one reactor. Not to mention the project started in 2008 and is expected to actually generate power in 2025. And this ignores the cost of decommissioning the reactor at the end of its life.

Every generation of reactor is going to be so much cheaper! And yet they never are. Not in the UK anyway.
SPARC has been open for a long time and there are numerous implementations. MIPS (and Longsoon) has been shipping forever. RISC-V is real. There's a project to create a re-implementation of SuperH.

It's not like x86 & ARM is the only thing in the world...it's just the only thing that matters economically right now.

sshuttle uses ssh, which in turn is not wedded to any one cipher. How does wiregaurd improve on this?
There was one big application for tunnel diodes: fast comparators. IIRC many classic Tek scopes use tunnel diode based comparator in their trigger circuitry.

On the other hand doing the same thing in some modern bipolar process is significantly cheaper and more reliable.

Another thing is that in such designs the tunnel diode looks like it does nothing. And that may have something to do with most engineers not using it.
Indices are composed of one or more primary shards. Each primary shard can have one replica. Three nodes, each with one primary shard as a part of that sjngle index, no replicas in play at all.
@ mkr-hn

On Lobsters (can't find thread), I mentioned that the price was too high for large amount of potential users, the code was open source, and low-margin providers could host it for the masses on the cheap. If wanting to be ethical, they could even send a percentage of the revenue and/or improvements back to Ghost.

I strongly encourage this model given dominance of sites such as Wordpress. Ghost can keep reaping the benefits of the premium market just publishing source. They can simultaneously stay profitable and democratize the tech through third parties.
IMO the post is a little circular. If we rely upon the projection product of Euclidean vectors, we've already granted Pythagorean theorem in our assumptions.

There's a lot of ways to arrange things visually, but knowing we want c^2 really cuts the options down; knowing that we also will have a and b be degree two in the relation pretty much constrains us to that shape. We need a and b in some form on the sides, and we need a square with sides c.

If we prefer, once we have the "4 triangles" model, it's easy for us to proceed to elementary algebra if we want, rather than relying on a geometrical transformation:

(a+b)(a+b) area of the big square
1/2 (ab) area of each of the triangles
(a+b)(a+b) - 4 * 1/2 (ab) = c^2
take the area of the big square, take the
little triangles out, only the c^2 square remains
a^2 + 2ab + b^2 - 4 * 1/2 ab = c^2
distribute
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
simplify

If you hate 4 triangles, you can easily do it with 2 of the a by b triangles, and a c by c right triangle forming a trapezoid. There's myriad geometrical constructions to start with before we get to the algebra. But we need to have some kind of geometric construction that leads to the algebra to conclude geometrical relations from algebraic relations.
Yup...Theo specifically talks about alignment restrictions on SPARC as catching all sorts of weird corner-case bugs.

If you think the night sky hasn't been stolen already, then chances are you've just never been to someplace where it hasn't been. After that, it's all a matter of degree.

It would be fairly straight forward to have ordinances that limit light pollution--- do a night time flyover (perhaps via drone), issue citations to any property with more than Y illumination facing up after hour X on more than N days out of M.

But people don't care, perhaps because so many people have never actually seen a dark sky.

Kind of reminds me talking to an old client about pet trackers. He said lots of people think there is a market for tracking dogs and kids. But tracking dogs and kids is just pointless and stupid. The truth is the real market is abusive parents, boyfriends, husbands and pimps.
I'm curious what Ghost thinks of my proposal here:

Well, it may be a personal collection, but it's almost certainly also professional photography.
Okay, so I just checked this out, and there is a non-zero amount of child porn on the list. Is my roommate downloading CP? Is there any other explantion?
This is funny and wonderful.

However, if I can take the joke way too seriously for just a second:

Doing this with emails will just cause your target to think something is messed up on your end. I'm not sure it would have the desired effect unless a lot of people were doing it.

In theory, a better strategy would be to inject the font into an environment where users are primed to assume that if something goes wrong it's the environment's fault, not the publisher. For example, a website.

I wonder how hard it would be to get an Open recreation of Smelvetica onto some kind of Smelvetica-specific CDN that everyone could share, and then to get that CDN url added to EasyList?[0]

Would anyone be likely to install an adblocker over that, or is it more likely that they would just blame the website?

This is a common argument against privacy measures and a very slippery slope. If it's fine to sell to Wall Street, should it be fine to sell to insurance companies? Who can use that information to label your habits as "high risk" and adjust your premiums as such?

It's much more difficult to take back your privacy than it is to maintain it in the first place.

Residential PV installs are becoming more and more common so consumers are looking for smart devices to take advantage of them more efficiently. If you are grid-tied without a battery (batteries like the Powerwall take much longer than a PV install to pay back, so the payback time is often greater than the warranty period) you want to use the energy at peak generation rather than selling it to the grid (which typically pays less than you pay to buy it).

There are a few devices to do this. In the UK the MyEnergi range is quite popular. They have devices to divert excess power to an electric vehicle and a electric hot water heater. However the data you can get out of them is limited - there are frequent complaints by YouTubers about this - and they require the cloud to get anything useful. Plus a full set is over £1000 - for what is effectively a CT clamp, relay and a nRF chip.

On a similar note it's impossible to control appliances like washing machines and dish washers to run during peak generation (unless you solder some wires to the control board), so they have to be started manually or set on a timer. Timers worked fine to take advantage of off-peak electricity tarrifs, but for PV they don't really work (maybe there is a cloud in the middle of the day). Ideally you want the device to know how much power is needed for each stage of the program, and pause if the available power is less than that.

It should be stated that you should either use the first approach (display none) or give a 0 height/width, so that screen readers don't pick up these fake fields and ruin accessibility on your form.
I suppose it depends on what is modifying what. If it's actually "universal time" and you have coordinated it, then CUT makes sense. If it's just "time" that you've both made universal and coordinated, then UCT makes sense.
Blocking ads by default would require a judgement that ads and ad-supported Web sites are bad by default. That is a much more extreme and less supportable position than Mozilla's position that tracking is bad by default. People who want to block all ads can opt into that with a Firefox ad-blocking extension (including on Android, unlike Chrome).

Brave's fine, but if you're worried about Google/Chrome hegemony you'd better not use it, because as a Chromium browser it's a part of that hegemony.
Why is it "incredibly exciting"? Near as I can tell from the web site, it's a relatively very slow processor (~1GHz) with little memory (max 2Gb?). There are other "Open Platform" options with similar limitations (Longsoon).

The worst part about startups and agriculture is trying to bridge the two. I spend a LOT of time thinking about the shortcomings in agriculture and how I'd do it better. So many areas for advancing a current technology. But then I'm often hindered by a simple question -- "Can I turn this into a startup?" I use Paul Graham's definition [0] as a litmus test and always fail to complete the necessary circle.

I've recently decided "to hell with it" and am diving in. I'm hustling as a hemp farmer now. Learning a lot. Especially about how to actually become a farmer. The different types of farmers. How other conventional farmers can actually make it.

I'm coming up with lots of ideas, but still no silver bullets. No unicorns. I see all these companies posted here and agree that most will be very beneficial and influential in the future. But will any see 10% weekly growths? Unlikely. But I'm always enthusiastic and hopeful that they will.

Right now the average age for a US farmer is 59 [1]. Assuming they can make it to retirement, we'll begin cresting in farmer turn-over in 5 years. The problem is many will be selling out to the highest bidder if they don't already have somebody lined up to take over the reigns. That will be the already established, large, industrial scale commercial farming operation.

So back to my original point, how can we bridge the startup world with agriculture? No idea. But I'm hopeful one of these companies do.

How many people are still under the CISO at NYT? I’m getting spidy-senses tingling that there was bloat in that part of the org, not some insane “we don’t need security” type of angle.

Face scan, photo ID, whatever. It's pretty much the norm in most countries to associate a picture and name to every phone number.

Having said that, I was surprised that I could buy a pay-as-you-go phone ( a 'burner' in local parlance) from any supermarket in the UK without any connection of my name or my photo to that number. And this was in the UK, where there are cameras in practically every place you can go.

Well, I'm not really supposed to talk about this but we're working on a hydrocarbon byproduct of our fission reactors. Can't extrapolate but point is, there are unconventional ways to make hydrocarbons that become economically viable when they are a byproduct of an already profitable process.
Losing my ability to speak like a normal human
It's really impossible to pass judgement on this decision without hearing the reasons.

Reading between the lines (and using common sense) suggests that the NYT does have a security team, only that its focus is larger than just the newsroom. One scenario therefore would be a consolidation of security roles. The "Head of Newsroom Security" position would no longer exist, even if there is/are dedicated people with that portfolio.
> Indices are composed of one or more primary shards. Each primary shard can have one replica. Three nodes, each with one primary shard as a part of that sjngle index, no replicas in play at all.

Ok, 3 nodes, each with one primary shard. No replicas. 1 node goes down, one shard is no longer found in the cluster, because it was in the missing node. That particular index, and in fact the whole cluster, are now RED.

Unless you discard that shard (force reroute, with accept_data_loss), nothing is going to be recovered and the missing shards will not be allocated anywhere.

My reading of this is that in the story on the left, the online security experts were so easy to contact that it was super easy to quickly forward a suspicious email for them to evaluate.

In the story on the right, even though the reporter basically gets threats of violence (the pistol), they do not even know who it is that they should be contacting about that.

I guess this illustrates the benefits of having a single point of contact for these types of online security issues that everyone knows to contact.
Hollywood always goes through cycles. Remember when most films were simple/generic Westerns with John Wayne on screen every other month. Remember after WW2 when there was a glut of war films. Some actors made there career out of playing German bad guys. Or the prevalence of disaster movies in the late 70's. Today it is Superheroes. In another 10 years? Who knows...
Especially for companies that aren’t public yet so there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to exercise ever, even if it does become profitable and worth real money.

This actually reminds me of an episode that happened to me many years ago. Back then, it was "web anonymizers" (not VPN providers) that were all the rage. These programs would maintain a database of open proxies, and route peoples' web activity through those proxies.

Well, I had Apache misconfigured just long enough to get picked up by one of these apps. For years afterward, my server logs were chock full of attempts at logging into various accounts via HTTP. I seriously had thousands of Yahoo! username/password pairs just sitting in plaintext inside my server logs.

Forecasting aftershocks: Back to square one after a Deep Learning anticlimax
I also think a government should be able to create policy in this area. What's horrifying is that the government has deemed it morally preferable to assign custody to strangers over the mother. Losing custody is usually due to things like neglect, child endangerment, drug use... now simply "being single" can be added to the list.

When two people who may disagree on the personhood status of an embryo can agree that this policy is bad. It must be a pretty terrible policy.
I don't know if people tend to be more reluctant to let it go, they just change where it goes. As an example, a company I worked at during the dot.com crash made a lot of bones in regulatory compliance until 9/11...at which point, redundancy and high availability became the money machine.
I’d be surprised if your average small/med farmer retires at 65 in the US. I’d guess an average above 70.
People are all talking about niches over here. Work on fundamentals. Strong fundamentals are an investment that pays dividends. If you want to learn something niche like ML, because you think it's gonna be big, then learn the math and calculus and stats that underlies the ML. Then if ML really becomes something most devs should know, you'll be able to pick it up better than the people who have to only get the surface. And if it doesn't, you'll have a strong foundation for other things, which is great because foundations are by definition broad.

It's also about institutional knowledge. It's (relatively) easy to find people in Houston who understand the value in spending $10mm to drill an oil well which has an 80%+ chance to make a single digit multiplier of your money. There's less cultural knowledge of spending that same amount of money for much smaller chance of a much, much bigger payout.
The yellow/orange lights could very well be high-pressure sodium (HPS) lighting, the same type used in street lights prior to LEDs. Like the street lights, LED lights seems to have less wash and reflection back into the night sky than HPS, and use less power than HPS for the same growth effect on the plant.

The industry is still transitioning to LED lighting due to cost and because some plants don't respond very well to LED light, so more development is required.

I remember when HPS became a big thing in greenhouses and people would call the fire department at night thinking the glow meant a nearby fire.

Worldwide we are seeing an attack on journalism and the free press. Cutting security resources as a short term profit-boosting exercise can have disastrous consequences. Many people all over the world risk arrest or even death for sharing information with journalists. If they can't be sure that the journalists have an excellent security apparatus backing them, it will be too risky for them to come forward.
