... and I think that this was actually the job of web browser engineers, and they failed to do so. I kind of like where Brave is going to be honest, though I do not think that an optional approach will make a change. We've been there, a lot of times, and nothing will be changed if we don't force the industries to.

Honestly currently the only Browser that is doing the right thing when it comes to privacy policies of third party cookies is WebKit/Safari [1] [2] [3] as Apple has the leverage to enforce it via their iOS market share.

Firefox/Mozilla currently is too concerned about breaking things and Chromium is a bad privacy joke outside of Ungoogled Chromium.

Exactly ;) Can't talk about this more (for now as my startup idea has to stay under the radar until Q3 this year) but I think you've figured out what I want to do with this concept.

It's success was more around its character development and the setting. It set up a lot of things that looked like they'd be used later, but while there were seasons left, people actually gobbled it up. Then the author/writers realized they wouldn't be able to tie up all the loose ends they left, and definitely not in two seasons, so it was unsatisfying. It also meant they were tying up loose ends and not spending time on the character development that made the show.
As someone who has built products with a Raspberry Pi, I'm not sure I would bet on a WIFI connection.

I can almost guarantee you that you will sit in your car and scream bloody murder because the WIFI ist not connecting.

My products had to work with a lot of other networks around and were built on a Model 3 B, maybe it has improved since then.

Sadly I can't point you into the direction of solutions because we just switched to Ethernet.
I'm not saying it will be a utopia, I'm saying it will kill the status quo. Which you will likely succeed at because the fire & flames that made the status quo popular is receding under the label of toxic and (soon to be) rude. You are in effect chasing the value of debates up into the smoke.

I think you are right, it is a matter of convenience, to type less, as the story hints, but not only for writing to files, also for displaying messages on the console.

According to the book quoted in the link:

Since a command should by default execute its most commonly used function, ... echo appends the final newline automatically.

It may seem insignificant, but this story highlights, in nerd humour, some of the design philosophy behind Unix.

For starters, 240VAC input represented by what appears to be a vanilla barrel jack; PCB relay module that doesn't look like it'd come close to meeting clearance, creepage, etc requirements expected of such applications; wiring represented as discrete point-to-point while completely ignoring the importance of gauge, insulation rating, etc. I just hope an ignorant passerby doesn't try to hack this up with speaker wire and arbitrary AliExpress relay module thinking the relays are rated for 240VAC so it must be OK (when everything else wasn't designed for such high voltage application).

Thinking about the meaning of life, I can only really say this about it: We take up space on the surface of a planet.

Perhaps all of the war and misery is really just due to having too little space to share amongst too many people. I'm sure Malthus would agree.
Here's one that caught me off guard:

#[derive(Debug)]
struct Foo<T> { pub bar: T }

fn hmm<T>(x: T) -> Foo<T> {
Foo { bar: x }
}

fn main() {
let f:Foo<f32> = hmm(1.23);
print!("got: {:?}\n", f);
}

So maybe that's not crossing function boundaries, but the type for the generic "hmm" function as the rvalue is being inferred from the explicitly declared type of the lvalue. I know it's pointless to try and change anyone's mind about this, but I personally find it unsettling :-)
Anandtech.

I called this guy out on Twitter eventually challenging him to show me any article (in this PC area) of theirs and I will find mistakes. I offered my editorial services for one dollar. I've been, long ago, one of the editors of the largest computer monthly in Hungary and was on the editorial board. This wouldn't have been my first rodeo.

In this particular article there's not a lot of technical explanation so it's not easy to find a mistake but it's not so hard either: the GIGABYTE MZ31-AR0 is seriously outdated, they now sell the MZ32-AR0 which is now PCIe 4.0 and they missed from the list the Tomcat HX S8030 which is also PCIe 4.0. They did not, in fact, list any PCIe 4.0 boards. It's just sloppy.
Yes it does, due to the way that it’s structured.

AFAICT, the wildcard symbol (asterisk) will not match across the separator (i.e. the period).

So ¤.¤ will only match example.com or contoso.com etc, not blog.example.com or sales.contoso.com.

If you look at the cert, it has lots of line that looks like this:

DNS:¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤,
DNS:¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤.¤,

In that way it will match all possible levels of subdomains.

(Asterisk substituted for ¤ in order to not trip up the formatting here on HN.)

Baldwin was really a fascinating person. He traveled quite a bit around Europe, too, and wrote some of his most known work in Istanbul, which I always found an interesting juxtaposition to the way he is usually portrayed. I agree with his thought that’s it’s easier to view America from the outside. IIRC Fitzgerald wrote most of Gatsby while in France, which seems to confirm the idea. It’s a shame Baldwin isn’t more well-known.

It didn't have any value to begin with, honestly. Websites have the exact same message in their code simply by inspecting source or opening a console, and that certainly doesn't show you have any sort of skill or curiosity.

It's not like the sites are offering you a job, they're saying you should interview with them. I have not heard of anyone getting hired because of this.

TellTrail – Insider Threat protection solution
TellTrail - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/telltrail

We want to help businesses protect themselves against insider threats, by allowing product managers to get information about the emotional status of their employees

We store public and private conversations of Slack channels, and allow administrators to analyze them at their convenience.
Also right now there is an ETrail Channel view where administrators can see the sentiment of the messages in the channel.

Our future goals include the optimization of the emotion analysis algorithm to notify when it detects a disgruntled employee.
We see the product not only as a Security tool to protect from insider threat, but also as a very helpful HR utility to be able to predict the moral of the company.

I imagine there's a natural gravitational pull toward base 10 from having fingers, and throughout prehistory and early civilization occasionally systems deviated to suit certain purposes (like sibling comment about even divisibility of 60) but usually came back to using 10. We've always needed to count, been smart enough to count, and had 10 fingers readily accessible to count, so I wouldn't count that theory out :)

The 'croquet' is a folded cloth, but might just be there to signify an 's' sound -- in a hieroglyph dictionary [1] it says "lead" or "guide", `seshem`, maybe because the penis on its own can mean bull or donkey, so maybe referring to animals that must be lead, just a guess. Anyway its used at the front of a few names here referring to a leaders of one kind or another.

Exactly, the only thing limiting solar at this point is the rate of investment. Wind and hydro etc have a huge role, but for some back of the envelope estimates.

On the storage issue, at ~100$/kWh batteries that do a conservative 1,000 cycles are ~10c/kWh stored + generation costs + conversion inefficiency. Take current unsubsidized grid solar prices of 2c/kWh solar and double that for 4c/kWh as a conservative redundant safety margin. Tracking solar for example has much better morning and evening generation though at slightly higher prices.

If 2/3 of your electricity is at 4c/kWh and 1/3 is at 15c/kWh that’s 7.7c/kWh for pure solar 24/7 including peaking power needs. Obviously a specific mix of generation determines storage needs, but those are also really pessimistic estimates.

PS: Hydro power is 6.1% of the total U.S. electricity generation. If 80% of that is released at night that’s a huge reduction in storage needed. Similarly transmitting power east or west makes a large difference in storage needs.
Vitamin D has long been staple in the "anti-aging" business, and this is something I guess many people around here are very interested in, to put it mildly.
This could improve privacy if all the processing remains internal, however there are several ways it could reduce privacy and create problems depending on what you do with the AI output. For example, the AI output could deny access to buildings if it detects a person is a child (good for industrial settings, not so good if you're a short adult) or it could deny access if it detects a person is white or female (bad for society). The video data might all be processed internally, but if the chip also has a video output the AI output could simply be used to decide what video to save. Or the AI output could trigger recording from an external video camera. So overall, the privacy aspects of this sensor seem pretty weak; it would have to be used in a properly designed system or else this privacy protection could be easily bypassed.

I've worked with similar systems that used local AI to process speech (to determine things like turn taking in conversations) and there was a claim that the system enhanced privacy because no speech was ever recorded, but in truth it would have been easy to compromise that privacy protection. If the ability to record or export video is not part of the sensor design, then it would be difficult for anyone to alter the chip to record video, but how do you verify that? The chip could have a secret "test" mode where it exports video and AI parameters for troubleshooting. You'd have to trust Sony, which might be reasonable in some circumstances, but not in others. The same is currently true for a variety of phones with "smart" features associated with the camera. It may seem like the phone will only unlock for you when it sees you, but what if it also secretly unlocks when presented with a specific QR code? How would you ever know?

Indeed, hearing this was a shock to me.

$12B would be a double digit of their capex plan for the decade.

Them committing even to basic operation in the Arizona plant would mean to take double digit percentage off their existing 5nm, 3nm plant plans, or having this money come from the outside.

Also take this, their CapEx plan for the decade is entirety committed to the sprint towards 2nm. And even with all those money raised, and after going to bond market, they were already signalling that they have to raise even more money, or the 2nm may not happen.

I don’t think that ? is a valid operator in this context.
All valid points, the beauty of Github is that you can write a pull request and add all those informations to the project, or even better, you can write what an alternative solution would be 'Instead of using X, you can use Y'. If you feel extreme generous you could even use this as a teaching opportunity. Explain concept like Creepage starting from the existing example and propose the alternative solution from there.
In what sense are police at private schools not actual police? Every private school I have been involved with has their own uniformed police agency, literally calling itself "police". They just limit the things they focus on. Here's an example for Yale police:

"The Yale Police Department is a fully sworn police agency that receives its police powers through the City of New Haven. Created in 1894, it was the first campus-based police department in the country, and has continued to serve as a model for other campus police operations. The police force currently has about 55 officers represented by the YPBA and about 15 supervisory officers. "

I worked at Pivotal for 4 years. I think it had a great engineering culture, with a very principled approach to XP. This may not be for everyone of course. I learnt a lot there, it was a collection of people all wanting to become better, rather than simply delivering software.

After the VMWare acquisition, we'll have to wait and see how much of the culture remains.

No, because all these headers just lead to the stock standard hiring page. It literally has no effect.

I first noticed these kinds of "hidden" hiring messages almost 10 years ago. I thought it was cool for like 20 seconds until I realised that it is no different than just applying normally on their normal hiring page.

So the fact that more people find out about this, is like people discovering that a hiring page exists on companies websites. Which they already knew.

What I'm actually annoyed by is that companies are still doing this stupid thing.
i drew a tank it thought it was a train
Wake effects are studied extensively and automated systems exist that will optimize the turbines' yaw direction to maximize power output (and / or keeping loads in check) of the entire plant instead of just a single turbine.

For example: https://www.siemensgamesa.com/en-int/newsroom/2019/11/191126...

What's novel here is the effect the counter-clockwise rotation has on the power output of the down stream turbines... I think it hasn't really been a point to research as the costs of blades, maintenance, etc... are assumed to far outweigh the potential gains.

Something else to keep in mind is that it's not as pleasant to look at a park full of turbines spinning in different directions.

You can watch a few videos on Youtube and piece things together.

The most fascinating interviews are with the Argentine mechanics, who because of the French embargo, mounted the Exocets on hand-made launch rails, and the Argentine pilots who used them to devastating effect.

Some subjects:

2. The war itself:

- Exocet launch against Atlantic Conveyor @10:30

- (The Ardent was also bombed and destroyed, probably with gravity bombs.)

4. Mark Felton's video on a returning Vulcan seized by Brazil:

It's definitely true for Europe being absolutely spineless when push comes to shove.

The EU couldn't even put pressure on Erdogan let alone on Xi.

China has been buying influence here for years, especially through the poorer countries that were alienated by the strict austerity measures imposed by the bigger powers.

The nature of the EU politics where a single country has the power to veto the rest is a massive loophole that China is happily exploiting.

The fact that every EU country has different interests and agendas is a huge problem that results to the union never aligning on anything critical.

Just look how the refugee crisis was handled. Affected countries were crying for help and the others were like "sucks for you bro".
What can you do with runtime dynamism that I can’t do with a language using a strong type system with dependant types? You need to know _something_ about the dynamic data else you can’t do anything with it and that starts to suggest there’s a structure you can declare, right?

And what methods do you think are as capable as formal verification? What I mean by that includes formal specification, property based testing, theorem provers etc.

Edit: This reads argumentative but that’s not what I wanted, I’m genuinely interested.
