The breaker is there to break the circuit if it exceeds the breaker's rated capacity.

It doesn't care why that's happening, and it shouldn't.

The cable has no way to intentionally violate the breaker: if you try to pull 20 amps out of a 15 amp breaker, it will trip.

Why do you expect familly living with you to do all household work for you? Or that college dorm is first time students are figuring laundry? Seriously, one special assumption Americans do is that mom does all the housework and teenage kids do none of that.

The other absurd expectation is that laundry and cooking requires some special figuring out. Like, this all primary sounds like an issue of you all parent 7-16 years old more then anything else.

It's not anti-social, but it is anti-"social media". HN has made a lot of wonderful design choices that prevent it from becoming Reddit or Twitter. Hiding points on comments, not showing indicators for replies (making it easier to move on), solid moderation that allows for diverse viewpoints while avoiding a lot of toxicity, etc.
Unless the NEC has changed recently, it's legal in the US to use 20A breakers (with appropriate wiring e.g. 12ga or larger) to supply 15amp receptacles.

I don't know why the NEC allows this given that the practice is banned in Canada despite identical circuit breakers, wiring, receptacles, and electrical devices being used in both countries.
It's an American thing.

Our national identity revolves around the idea of liberty and freedom, and we mythologize the self-made person.

See the current debate over firearms. Same deal. Individual liberty versus the good of the group.

It's not rational, but it is who we are.
Not true. Breakers are most definitely intended to protect against overcurrent situations regardless of whether it's user or equipment caused. (For example, unintentionally plugging 30 amps of kitchen appliances into a single 20 amp circuit. Don't ask how I know.)

That being said, you should never intentionally rely on a safety feature to cut you out - they exist as a backup in case you screw up. The 14-50P to 5-15P adapter referred to by GP is an example of "I know what I'm doing". Just be sure to double check that you really do.

Edit: Also, consider that if you're in a jurisdiction where it's legal to have a 15 amp receptacle on a 20 amp circuit (many places in the US unfortunately) then a cable like this could allow you to draw a sustained current above what the receptacle is rated for but below what would trip the breaker. That's a fire hazard.
If it's anything like the UK it changed in the eighties. People stopped comparing themselves with their neighours and started looking at the lifestyles of people they see on TV. All of a sudden you need a Rolex or Gucci clothing or a Porsche or holidays in Italy. And because that stuff is in your face everyday it appears normal. Look at the housing of any sitcom character, do you think a bunch of flaky dropouts could afford the New York apartments you see in Friends?

If you can't afford that lifestyle then just borrow more, even students with no income can get credit. Can't get a loan? Then you must be some kind of degenerate who deserves their poverty.

It takes quite a bit of fortitude to ignore all that and be satisfied with the ordinary. You can see by the state of most peoples finances that the majority haven't got that.
> "I always want to be supportive of anyone building anything, but seriously... stop. Put it on ice for 6-12 months. This app sucks."

Although true, this is unnecessarily harsh. An app to meet up with friends, doesn't imply that it will be ignoring social distancing and mask recommendations... Or kill people

Imagine someone telling you; "seriously stop... This app sucks", personally I think this attitude is pretty damaging to the community and will make others less likely to ask questions about their projects...

Changelog CI (Continuous Integration for Your Projects Changelog)
What is Changelog CI?

Changelog CI is a GitHub Action that generates changelog,
prepends it to ``CHANGELOG.md`` file and commits it to a release pull request

How Does It Work:

Changelog CI uses ``python`` and ``GitHub API`` to generate changelog for a repository.
First, it tries to get the ``latest release`` from the repository (If available).
Then, it checks all the pull requests merged after the last release using the GitHub API.
After that it parses the data and generates the ``changelog``. Finally,
It writes the generated changelog at the beginning of the ``CHANGELOG.md`` (or user provided filename) file.
In addition to that, if an user provides a config (json file), Changelog CI parses the user provided config file
and renders the changelog according to users config. Then the changes are committed to the release Pull request.

I was fascinated by the details about politics in Singapore from 1945 to 1965. You don't hear about that very often. In this account, PAP sounds a Chinese mirror of UMNO; both parties could have been nurtured by the British, who needed to produce an alternative to Chin Peng, who they could allow to win Malaya's war of independence. It would be really interesting to hear about British support for PAP in the early days.

The easy way to say it was: those guests were turned away because the hosts were racist. But they said it was because of the guests' skin color, and this allows for interpretations. And, like the article says, removes the focus of the behavior away from the hosts' racism, and instead places it on the guests' color.

Like the article said, it's discussing race but not discussing racism

One source of thoughts on this topic:

These days, being able to leverage Azure helps... Of course, you can also just as easily use Azure SQL, and for that matter, the dockerized version of SQL Server is really useful for development.

Getting to the point we have a couple projects targetting kubernetes... one for hosting/deployment and testing, one only for testing, and another getting there for testing. Our apps have various differing configurations for various client deployments, so being able to spin up and test with different client configurations for applications is helpful.

Once at that point, introducing something new, such as a redis instance for connection throttling/tracking, or using Postgres locally/remotely for our app databases (service hosted for prod, k8s temporary instances for testing/dev), or spinning up rabbitmq even, or leveraging azure storage queues.

Of course we've also been writing more in node, and less in C# for some things. Getting away from all things C# has been hard in a historically .Net shop though.
Why would that make any difference unless they're integrating the software itself into the product? The AGPL will not affect documents made or edited with the software.
Using a shared neutral for two circuits was a common practice to save on wire. It's allowed as long as the two circuits are connected to different legs/phases of the electrical panel.

More recent versions of the NEC require that the breakers used for both hot legs of such circuits be linked so turning one circuit off also turns off the other.

Common neutrals on residential branch circuits have largely fallen out of favor for new construction due to requirements for GFCI or AFCI protection on most circuits.

I have some late 80's books that refer to C as middle-level language actually.
Ditto. This stuff seems good and is somewhat motivating at first. But it never works out in the long term.
> this is no different from using a dumb, unprotected PDU

I would caution that depending on exactly what electrical components are inside the PDU, under certain conditions (say, on plugging it in) it might briefly draw much more current than you would naively expect. (Based on the picture they posted though I doubt that's the case. It looks fairly "dumb" to me.)

For example, "I'll plug this UPS rated at 50 amps into a 20 amp circuit. It's fine because I'm only attaching 10 amps worth of equipment to it!" is unlikely to go well depending on (among other things) the rate at which the batteries charge.
That's a lame argument. To counter parents would bring their entire family for dinners at my company? Who did it benefit more ?

The discussion in this thread is basically this:

A says: “I like it when a candidate has a github, because it gives me and idea about how they code”

B replies: “please don’t. My github code, like an unknown proportion of all github profiles, is hobby code and doesn’t follow any of the standards my professional code follows.”

In this case, you need a prior that says “even if it looks legitimate, the data might be completely invalid and we cannot tell from the data”
I think it depends on whether you're living with them because of choice or necessity.

If you're staying with them because of choice and you have a good job, just get a hotel room or go stay at a B&B for the weekend or something.

Meh, I think SLS will fold after a flight or two. There is no way to justify spending $800M per launch, assuming they launch at least twice, every 1.5-2 years when NASA could spend $150M for a Falcon Heavy launch or less when Starship starts flying. Especially when SpaceX can provide many launches per year.

Then again the US government doesn't really care if taxpayer money is well spent. NASA needs to shift gears to science and exploration. More rovers and deep space probes please and thank you.

Rachel happened upon this cable, was curious enough to look into the details behind it and found this out.

Not everybody would look into details. Quite possibly, most wouldn't. I wouldn't, probably. If i happened upon this type of socket that needed powering and found this cable, I'd use it.

Maybe you're hoping that the company only allows people fully in the know near that equipment. That would prevent the problem... but how did Rachel then get her hands on the cable?

> Google&co extort a phone number if they don't have enough tracking information about you and yandex shadow bans you (you can login, but don't receive any emails).

Uhh no. Its for anti spam. Imagine if someone created a bunch of email addresses in one go without the phone requirement. You could abuse the 15 gb per account allocation pretty easily, or you could use those emails for spamming others.
Yes, I wouldn't use this for anything other than having a bit of fun.
For me, I think it's that tracking all the stuff in the app ends up being a bit of a chore. So my mind associates the habit I'm trying to build with that slightly negative feeling.

I think it also mixes up intrinsic vs extrinsic rewards. It's less about building satisfaction or enjoyment out of the actual habit (intrinsic) and more about the tracking of that habit (extrinsic). So then the habit just remains a chore.

That's my experience at least, I realize it's different for a lot of people.
> Surely you would not call a differential equation with a given initial condition describing a simple harmonic oscillator along with an initial condition “inconsistent”.

No, certainly not.

> Would you call it incomplete?

Yes, absolutely. There is no such thing as a harmonic oscillator that exactly follows an equation like that. Show me one. Either the formal system has nothing to do with the real world, or it is an incomplete approximation of it. All other known physical theories are the same way.

Can even a part of the universe be described completely by any (incomplete) formal system? Is it even meaningful to talk about a “part” of the universe in this sense? Well, there’s exactly zero evidence either way. That’s what I’m implying when I say “the universe may not be incomplete.”
Indeed, just purchased a house in the UK in a relatively cheap area (rural Scotland) and it works out to about 1300 sq ft of house, excluding garden. Given the current market a first time buyer would be expected to put in around $60K deposit as mortgages have dried up for higher LTVs.

In other words, an 18 year old would have to save $5K a year for 12 years simply to have the deposit.

The national average for house prices is not too different from this scenario.
I used to use habitica and it was pretty fun, and it helped me organize a lot of my repeated but non-daily tasks, like remembering when to put the garbage out, going to the gym, etc. For me, the biggest problem of habits and routines I think is actually remembering them and a notification to do them at a time, because I easily lose track of time.

Now I use todoist, and while it's not the same, I like todoist, and am enjoying it more. The browser extensions are nice. It has karma and tracks things, although doesn't have the idea that you should have completed things, which can make things a bit tricky, but overall it's really helped me get things out of my mind and into lists.

But it ended up in the hands of someone who didn't. That really makes it a much bigger problem.

"This is OK if used by persons in the know" is not helping: Rachel wasn't/isn't in the know. So clearly, people without the proper knowledge can get their hands on this cable.
It's also a pretty selfish take to not talk about the other sides argument.

On the plus side, as long as the electricians who wired the place up were competent the risk of any harm resulting from ignorance is almost nonexistent. Circuit breakers are quite good at what they do and wiring generally has very wide safety margins.

Edit: On further thought, there is an issue here. Regardless of the breaker, that plug (the 5-15P) and associated receptacle are unlikely to be rated for 20 amps of sustained current. In that case, the breaker might not be able to prevent you from melting something or starting a fire.

I wish UL and other regulatory bodies would take a page from UK electrical standards and require cords that aren't capable of carrying the full amperage available at the socket to have fuses. Voltage drop protection wouldn't be a bad idea, either.

Wires are generally not rated for any specific current - the insulation is rated for a certain thermal load, and then electricians have a bunch of look up tables for the environment, run length and current to determine what gauge to use.

Wow I remember CableCARD from back in the days when TiVos were popular and Cable TV was transitioning to digital only service.

I always felt that CableCARD was an over-engineed solution to what feels like a simple problem - essentially it ships a cablebox inside a card that can be inserted into another cablebox type thing - all to support the massive DRM based empire cable companies have built.

To me it seems like there are simpler and more cost effective solutions, and from what I've heard from people who've used CableCARDs - probably more reliable solutions.

I'm not surprised that they didn't catch on, but I am a little disapointed, because for all their faults, there was at least an attempt to make digital cable services interoperable.
