In the words in Rahm Emanuel: "Never let a serious disaster go to waste."

I think you are missing out on modern environmentalism's most important goal, control. Control of the economy and control of the social structure. The end goal for most seems to be green socialism, not just green.

It wasn't a mistake that most of the Green New Deal had nothing to do with the environment and most to do with takeover of the economy and social structure.

Any solution that doesn't let them do that, is not acceptable. Being center left, I would love for more practical solutions to be used, but the more progressive wing of my party (D) will never accept any solution that doesn't also include a huge power shift to government and progressive causes.

Does it remind you of who you are on a personal level, i.e. core values, aspirations, and what makes you happy? Or does it just remind you of your humanity, thus that you're connected to billions of other people through that alone?
Now I understand - you are talking about IAM users versus assumed roles, instance roles, and the like. Definitely a best practice to utilize those over IAM users but you never get away from IAM entirely, its the corner stone of all access control within AWS. Difference is that with assumed roles and similar you get short lived credentials that need to be renewed periodically (usually behind the scenes) whereas IAM user credentials exist until you remove them (though best practice is to rotate them periodically.) There are some instances where you can't get away from them easily - remote access to S3 buckets is a biggie, even though I can get assumed role credentials through my identity provider, I've yet to find an S3 client (besides the cli) that can utilize them. Access to SES for applications that need raw SMTP credentials from an IAM user. My CDN can make requests to S3 buckets with AWS v2 signatures, that needs IAM user credentials also (though the actual policy is limited to the buckets with public content and only getting known objects, no listing).
I remember that hitting home for me when I saw a "stable coin" that was mechanically equivalent the a sort of economic perpetual motion machine raised over $100M from reputable investors. Not just a $100M+ valuation, a $100M+ raise. Nobody I talked to who had actually read and understood the white paper was surprised when they folded after not launching, blaming regulators rather than taking ownership of the fact that it was a flawed premise.
The irony is that building 20 was torn down to put up that monstrosity.

I work for a major wireless provider in the US (as a wireless engineer). Huawei equipment is almost an order of magnitude cheaper than the Scandinavian companies. Samsung is such a small player in the US that they don't really matter.

Personally, I'm worried (not sure that's the right word) that China will just do it's own thing in the near future. It was a miracle that LTE phones work worldwide, IMO. China had/has its own 3G CDMA tech. I wouldn't be surprised if the market gets fragmented in later releases of 5G or with 6G.
An article written by a technologist. Only 1% use multitasking.

Software is absolutely the strength.

The extraordinary social impact of iPad on education, bringing technology and books to the masses, especially the non technical, education and entertainment to the young (who can use this device even before they can read), the elderly and most importantly the enablement of the disabled are the greatest achievements of the iPad. This is the device of the 2010's.

Focussing on something like multitasking in the OS is really narrow and misses why this device even exists.
I've repurposed a couple old iPhones and a 2nd Gen iPad as baby monitors using the aptly-named Baby Monitor app (no affiliation other than being a satisfied customer). One sits in the kid's room as the mic/camera and the others serve as the speakers/display. The app is fantastic as it works on essentially any version of iOS and any iOS device. The iPad chokes on any website and barely runs anything else, but works perfectly with the Baby Monitor app.

I wish more apps like this worked on older versions of iOS or Android. No need to hack around with some alternative OS (not that there's anything wrong with that) - it's usable by any non-techie with some old iOS devices.
Ask HN: How have you successfully conveyed the scale of tech debt to management?
Any anecdotes or insights you can share would help me learn from your past successes in communicating to managers the tech debt situations you've found yourself in. Thank you!
I can't see it. (Is that because I have lower HN karma than you?)

edit: think it might be because one needs to put it in the "about" box as I have just done.
... there have been a number of attempts by academics to construct theories that put these
people back at the center of their lives where they can be analyzed/discussed...
A lot of people take issue with this sort of framing though because it smells of
postmodernism.

This makes me sad - Why would someone take issue with "lets pretend these actual humans are actually human, and think about their lives in that context"?
It was a typo, it was 53.2% for wind + hydro. Biomass I refuse to count as it is absolutely awful for the environment. Nuclear is not technically renewable either.

Regardless, I agree that getting fixated on the "renewable" label is not particularly productive. What matters is "zero-carbon".

Ancient Light Reveals the Universe’s Contents
Hm. This article seems to wield several non-descriptive terms such as "deep decarbonization" or "green steel" while skipping discussing fossil fuels themselves.

One of the main reasons why we can't replace fossil fuels is because they are arguably the most efficient way of storing and transporting a huge potential of energy.

Think about it like this. It's easier to store a ton of coal for 50 years then it is to store the same amount of potential energy as electricity in a battery. It's more efficient to transport a ship filled with coal then it is to transport the same amount of energy as electricity through power lines.

Fossil fuels have a high energy yield per unit and they are abundant.

So, fossil fuels are far easier to scale towards diverse and large energy needs compared to clean energy sources.

The author hears the bells chime, but can't find them: he alludes to the higher price of "green steel" and how subsidies are a necessary to support these innovations. But he ultimately draws the wrong conclusion.

For one, he compares Denmark to China. Which represents 18% of the World's population. Sure, if China would switch to wind energy, the effects would be massive. But that's discounting vast economic differences between those countries.
Do you mean like Apache mod_asis [0] which will serve a pre-formatted HTTP response, including the headers, directly from disk?

Then your HTTP server can speak very little HTTP (compare request line to preformatted "GET /file HTTP/", return 404 on mismatch, return preformtted response on match). Maybe also return nice error if request does not have accept-encoding: gzip.

Nifty, does it auto-retry on failure?
You're right that the same criticism could and perhaps sometimes should be aimed at "net zero" homes with solar. Arguably solar is even worse than wind in the UK, because we're so far north that it has an awful capacity factor and it reliably drops off when power is needed the most. Ecohomes and net-zero homes have extra insulation that does provide a benefit in winter, but home solar alone is dubious. (The UK government also basically killed off subsidies for it.) It's a little more useful in countries closer to the equator with better capacity factors and summer aircon rather than winter heating, since output is reasonably closely correlated to demand then, but still won't get us to actual zero even there.
Named Data Networking
It's only straightforward if you omit the error handlers (which is misleading) or don't handle errors anywhere (which is sloppy). Maybe it works for some kinds of programming, but for any kind of systems code it's a pretty strong smell.
I understand. I think should be avoided.

Boeing Dreamliner production problems threaten safety, former QA manager warns
The article is advocating for increased nuclear. But energy is just one piece of the puzzle, and it's the piece that's the furthest along the deployment curve from emergence to diffusion to reconfiguration. According to the article the other pieces are cars, buildings, trucks, agriculture, aviation, shipping, steel, cement and plastics. Nuclear won't replace any of them.
Good Developers Are Practical Not Emotional
Fully agree.

I think Gruber’s dead wrong, and folks should try it for a couple months. Leave the Macbook or Win10 laptop at home, and force yourself to rewire your brain into the iPad affordances and apps.

Aside from being able to turn his complaint off:

To turn Multitasking features on or off, go to Settings > Home Screen & Dock > Multitasking then turn off
Allow Multiple Apps if you don't want to use Slide Over or Split View.

I think it works fine for business and development consumption and creation, both.

I’ve daily drivered iPad Pro with Apple keyboard for last 3 generations of iPad 12.9”. It started as an experiment to see if we could move employee population over for less support costs, and then became a habit because it’s just too ideal if you’re mobile for travel or even between multiple offices and meetings.

Each new Macbook model, I get nostalgic for MBP days and carry it around for a bit, and then realize too many compromises carrying a laptop compared to carrying or traveling with just the iPad Pro.

I’m on a two week trip right now, with the brand new top of line Macbook Pro 16” with full dev and Adobe setup in my bag. But it only came out of my carry on once in two weeks, and that was a failure.

Tried to display a web demo, some custom diagramming, and a PowerPoint on conference room screen from the laptop. Unable to use the enterprise guest WiFi due to their security proxies, and the hotspot was too slow. Popped the same USB-C HDMI adapter in the iPad, and showed all the content over LTE.

In a room built for Windows world, people struggled, and failed, to get HDMI from their HP or Dell or Lenovo laptops working, via HDMI ports or USB-C ports. Both the Macbook and iPad “just worked” with Apple’s same latest USB-C to HDMI adapter.

With the always on networking, all day battery life, decent choice of text based dev tools including code editors, git clients, and terminals like Blink (mosh) to do git-commit based development/deployment, Citrix and RSA and enterprise VPN, not to mention full O365 and Adobe suites (though I recommend Affinity now), it’s hard to figure out what it is I need the laptop for enough to deal with the PITA of carrying it.

This was not true 10 years ago, but today, iPad Pro can be the sole computing device even for an enterprise technology executive.

Bonus anecdata, I’ve recently noticed the iPad Pro is what’s used by 80% of folks in the board room, even though it’s a Windows based enterprise. Something’s changed.
ESP8266 has basic filesystem support, have a look at this: https://arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filesystem.....
You define the filesystem's size when you flash the ESP and there's a tool to upload files there. You should also be able to find example projects that serve a webpage read from SPIFFS.
Edit: this is a fake AP for esp8266 that I wrote some time ago that has a captive portal that loads pages from SPIFFS if they're there, otherwise sends some default pages directly from code https://github.com/GTP95/CaptivePortalMatematico?files=1

> Do you know how much territory the European allies had reclaimed in the years of fighting prior to the US invasion of Europe? None.

What? Look at the map you posted. Do you know what that map looked like at the end of 1942?

> It was the 1,900,000 US soldiers, backed with US supplies and nukes (to stand off the Soviet conquerors in the East), that enabled Western Europe to become free after the war.

Irrelevant - attempting to inject a (however valid) moral supremacy of the western allies over the USSR has no bearing on the topic being discussed

> There is no scenario where Nazi Germany gets defeated without the US supplies

It is annoying that you clearly have an under-informed view of the topic (as made evident by the first point I responded to) yet shamelessly brandish such confidence and rejection of nuance. As if this is a falsifiable statement anyway.
So the point is that the current customer base is a skewed sample of the theoretical customer population.

> who's in charge of deciding what's "language runtime" and what isn't?

Maybe the people who define the language? Who implement and package its standard compilers/interpreters? This is not confusing outside the world of empty rhetoric.
In denial.

Remember those two faucets that used to be on sinks, one hot and one cold? Got replaced by the lever-valve that you push right or left to adjust temp? Took a generation to switch, though the benefits were obvious the first day.

Well, those two faucets go back even further. Watch any old cowboy movies? In the rooming house, the wash stand with the enamel basin and two pitchers? One pitcher hot water; one cold. Mix in the basin, then wash and shave.

When plumbing happened, the basin got set into the wash stand, a drain put in the bottom, the two pitchers replaced by two faucets.

Then, for about 100 years, nothing. No progress. Just that old familiar setup without modification.

Finally the kids were like "hey! I'm not filling that dirty old basin with water and washing in there! I'm just washing under the running water." The basin became simply a drain.
So thus the impetus to combine hot and cold. So you didn't alternately scald and freeze your hands.

The 'modern' bathroom sink took 100 years to come about. Not because to took that long to invent. It took only a moment to see the advantages. What it took was, 100 years for the old, hidebound folks to pass away and let the kids take over.

I'm convinced our bathrooms are the way they are (weak explanations notwithstanding), because people are slow to change.
I just lost the whole explanation I was about to send because Android is really stupid sometimes, so here's the short version:

Most social auth uses OAuth2, which doesn't exactly make sense with REST, but you can still use it alongside a REST-based app.

I see 4 scenarios:

1. A JS web app that uses SessionAuthentication can just use python-social-auth's Django app directly. Since the session is shared, it should Just Work™.

2. A JS web app that uses tokens: django-rest-framework-social-oauth2 seems to be made for this, but you could also do it with plain python-social-auth (which the former uses internally) by generating a token on your /success URL and sticking it into localStorage.

3. A non-web app that uses tokens: like number 2, but in a WebView.

4. A non-web app that uses sessions: like number 1, but copy your cookies into a WebView, do authenticate in there, then copy the cookies back.
Oh man. Are you talking about Triton? I'm forced to endure that for now as well. It's terrible.

It actively attempts to inject its own version of libwebp into nearly every single build and breaks them because it's not signed!

It's maddening, and crippling! We've recently moved umbrella companies, so that software will hopefully be going the way of the buffalo, but I can't even run Vagrant on my machine because of it.
Do any AIO units work as a monitor for external input? It seems like a systematic blindness to extending the usefulness of your product. The MS Surface Studio for example (at least at launch, I haven't checked if they've added that functionality) had the exact same issue, it's an amazing screen and drawing tablet setup but the computer inside is somewhat middling so after a few years it will need to be replaced wholesale instead of just turning it into a drawing tablet.

Is it surprisingly hard to do this for some reason I'm missing? Or just slightly expensive and a minor feature so no one bothers?

I like multiple apps except for in Safari, where I semi-regularly accidentally activate slide-over by dragging a link when I'm trying to scroll a page. Getting out of this mode is a pain in the ass, because AFAIK, you have to drag the slide over into split-screen mode before in order to close it.

Anyway, in desperation I turned off multi-tasking, but it doesn't disable the drag-link-to-create-slide-over-behavior. Instead it becomes even worse because the dragged link replaces the previous window. Even worse, you can't click the Back button to get back where you were. Doubly-even-worse, Safari's history is and has been broken for a long time... not every link you've visited is in the history, titles don't match the page you were on, etc.

Anyway, whatever the hell Apple did to Safari as part of iPad OS... I hate it.

edit: I didn't realize there was a slide-over-switcher you can activate and then from there swipe-up to kill the slide-over you don't want. Still a PITA. https://www.imore.com/how-use-slide-over-and-split-view-ipad...
