Wikimedia recently decided to abandon their in-house javascript framework in favor of Vue.js[0]. That doesn't mean wikipedia will turn into a vue.js single page app but they'll use it to progressively enhance some parts of the frontend or their internal tools/editors etc. Looking at some of the suggested features like the new search[1] it seems that vue.js could be used in this scenario. Does that mean they'll ship the entire vue.js runtime alongside jquery that is already used?

The Denz tester is the lens: https://denz-deniz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Backfocus_...

I wondered how they measure the distance so accurately, since normal optical measurements would be quite hard in this setting (optical sensor filter + sensor cover glass + microlenses + sensor surface), so instead the measurement is done using the sensor itself, so the effective optical flange distance is measured.

> Evaluating the flange focal depth is based on projecting a red bar and a pair of green bars from different optical axis onto the chip. In the right distance from the projective system the red bar comes to lie right between the green bars forming a symmetrical image that can be easily recognized looking at a monitor that is connected to the video output of the camera.

> In case the flange focal depth of the camera suspect to measurement is perfect (namely 52.00mm in case of a PL mount camera) the FDC multi’s scale ring attached to the hand wheel will show that “0” correction is necessary and the combined image actually is symmetrical.

> In case that the flange focal depth is not right, the hand wheel of the FDC multi has to be turned, changing the position of the projective system along the optical axis until the combined image is symmetrical again. Now one can read the amount of correction, that has to be applied to the cameras mount, from the scale ring. The adjustment of the flange focal depth itself involves putting or removing a combination of shims under the camera mount. Thanks to the exact instruction painful trial and error procedures are history.
I'm not convinced this is even a feature of the reader app. When they click "Liquid Mode", it says "Processing in Document Cloud" which means they're sending all your PDFs to their servers? Make sure you don't click Liquid Mode on any sensitive documents!
It's interesting that there is capability to locate methane leaks that doesn't seem to be directly tied to regulatory monitoring?

Marriage is a social construct as are hundreds of other things we have in a society and as such they are open for discussion. For example, do you support incestual marriage? Do you think people against it are siblings haters?
There are two separate questions here.

(1) Does hydrogen make sense as a store of energy?

(2) Will the various companies pushing hydrogen be financially successful in the medium term?

I think the answer to (1) is pretty clearly "no". But That doesn't strongly imply that the answer to (2) will also be "no". I can picture a world where hydrogen companies use hype to get funding, then use funding the get subsidies, then use subsidies to get more hype and install more infrastructure and generally push the concept to adoption. When big subsidies or externalities are on the table, it's very easy for the social/info/misinfo side of things to win and for the whole economy to do something stupid for 50 years. See, e.g., smoking, leaded petrol, nuclear power, etc.

As for why it doesn't make sense: hydrogen has essentially the same performance as batteries in terms of the car itself, but lower overall efficiency. So it costs you more energy, and it is less convenient because hydrogen requires a gas station whereas electricity doesn't.
You can't really exceed a a certain number of characters per line without sacrificing readability and you can't restrict the line length without padding the container, so I'm not really sure what you think the goal of typography should be. It's certainly not to reduce scrolling; there is no "fold" on the web.

But actually that wiki page says the judgement regarding "coming to the nuisance" was based on precedent set by a different case almost 100 years earlier.

It's not just liquid vs gas.

Hydrogen has a couple of "unique" properties that make it especially disadvantageous.

Namely: It'll diffuse through just about anything on a fairly short time scale if it isn't kept as a liquid at cryogenic temperatures, and it causes almost all metals to become brittle.

I think hydrogen is basically a dead-end as energy storage, except in a few niche applications where it's produced as a byproduct and can be consumed immediately.
The cars have keys, the apps are for added convenience.
Tesla has beaten everyone to the electric car mass market and that’s great. However, every report I see contains failures of the cars like these such that the car itself is poorly designed. What’s stopping Toyota or Isuzu from making a me-too version of the Tesla? What competitive advantage does Tesla have beyond being first to the market?

It's one of my favorite movies. Even knowing it beat by beat, I enjoy watching it because it is so well told. Even the narrative structure feels integral to how Nolan wants the story told. So it doesn't feel as "gimmicky" as it could be.

It also gives a nice twist on a noir murder mystery. Because the story starts with a murder, then instead of making us guess who did it, it makes us figure out why he did it. With every step giving another piece to that puzzle. So the mystery unfolds linearly while the narrative goes both backwards and forwards to meet back at the beginning of the movie.

While I haven't watched Dunkirk or Tenet yet, Memento remains my favorite Christopher Nolan film.

I was fairly attached to WoW while never paying much attention to the superficial stories and quests. I did at first, but it honestly wasn't great from what I remember (the first WoW), and so I just focused on the gameplay and team work rather than the story.

Personally, I read books for the story, and play games for the mechanics.
No idea. I don’t know enough about those countries to have a meaningful opinion.
For a similar reason, it seems to me that unionizing is the answer for uber/lyft drivers to get protections they want without being tied down as permanent employees.

The list of reasons unionizing drivers would be difficult to impossible is long and obvious, but the outcome would surely be better than some hamfisted state law.

Also, right now uber is framing the issue as drivers vs the state. A union push would make it uber vs the drivers, much harder to spin.
That is easy to solve - just don't fullscreen your browser window. Set it to a reasonable width and the content will follow.
I use that quite a lot, because google periodically just refuses to acknowledge that I usually want my links in English despite living in Germany.

Good chance it will be related to encryption (assuming big sites like Google continue backwards compatibility with modern JavaScript for a long time). "This site no longer supports clients connecting over TLS 1.2" or something like that in 2035? Might we have post-quantum TLS by then?
Yes! I found Wikipedia article names are fairly reliable as a translation reference, especially for technical terminology. In my language, translations of technical terms in Wikipedia article names are often more accurate than the vast majority of random blog posts and articles on the web, and occasionally even better than some technical dictionaries, which may use old-fashioned or outdated terms.
> It's hilarious to realize that a Raspberry Pi 4 will run circles around it.

Is it?

The Atom 330 was released in 2008 (as one of the cheapest, weakest processors, lowest power core Intel would produce at the time). The Rasp. Pi 4 was released 11 years later, on 24 June 2019.

I bet you that the Intel Atom 330 ran circles around any chip from 1997.

Let's terraform the Earth.

No, I'm seriously you guys.

We have just figured out that we can (re)make forests out of deserts, let's do that. Let's do the hell outta that!

"How to Grow a Forest Really Really Fast" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9074473

Search on "Greening the Desert" E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_greening

"Celebrating 10-Years at the Greening the Desert Project, Jordan" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI9wMtTvWps

This is a regenerative process: the forest produces the seeds, fauna, and materials needed to create more forest.

We can totally do this, and many people are, the tricky bit is getting the economics to work.
I would actually argue that it should be the government's role to push the development of vaccines and drugs for treating even harmless diseases. We spend trillions of dollars on national defense in the US, when you look at the economic damage and cost in lives that the Covid-19 outbreak has cost us, the threat of disease outbreaks is every bit as damaging as a military attack, maybe even worse. If we had taken the time to develop and take all the way through the approval process a vaccine to previously encountered Coronaviruses such as SARS or MERS we would probably already have a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 approved by the FDA and in distribution. Maybe we should be building a few less F-35s and instead be developing vaccines against otherwise harmless viruses, because you never know when a close relative of a harmless virus is going to turn into a deadly outbreak. In the US at least that seems like it should fall under the protective role of the federal government.
As the poster right above you mentioned, the local bluetooth functions don't work unless the app recently connected to the Tesla servers.

1) It wouldn't, I agree.

2) Agreed.

3) "never been any evidence of any malware insertion at Thinkpad" - Why are you treating Lenovo and Thinkpad separately? They're the same company, even if there's some internal separation (that Lenovo can violate as they wish).

> then you should delete the pre-installed system and then install your system.

Some tried. From my 2nd link: More worrisome part of the feature is that it injects software that updates drivers, firmware, and other pre-installed apps onto Windows machine – even if you wiped the system clean. So even if you uninstall or delete the Lenovo's own software programs, the LSE hidden in the firmware will automatically bring them back as soon as you power-on or reboot your machine.

pm90> These policies are meant to help society in aggregates so there will always be folks who get screwed. Its important to keep trying though.

sharadov> True, am not against that, but without checks and balances, as as happened in India, it ends up creating another set of problems (poor Brahmins now complain of lack of opportunities).

Reservation policy should not be confused with financial assistance. The government does have financial assistance in many forms, which is available to everyone needy - brahmins included. Reservation policy is for correcting imbalances in the aggregate, such as the one pointed out by a sibling comment:

esalman> What is more unfair? One 25,000-ranked dalit student getting favored over a 5,000 -ranked brahmin, or the fact that 25% of IIT students do not represent dalits even though they represent 25% of the whole population?

Poor brahmins, in your example, complain because small dents in institutionalized privileges one enjoys is indistinguishable from oppression.
The range is invalid, not empty; someone had to do a validity check to return 0 to prevent it from returning -5 or trying to count up from 0 (depending on what it was willing to assume). A big point of the article is that a range of size 0 should always be iterable, but it somehow isn't, because it isn't actually of size 0.
Yes, that's what I use (and what I have used before containers). I have simply assumed that containers are - supposedly - a take on modernizing profiles and making them convenient to use.

TBH, those days I tend to use separate browsers, because profile management is significantly less convenient than just running a different program.

Right. Hydrogen can be used to store energy.

Unlike flowing water which may turn a generator, hydrogen isn't a continuing source of generating power.
I’ve worked with systems which did this with two processors talking over SPI. The difficulty with integrating the real-time processor via shared memory is ensuring the real time processor has exclusive memory access to the peripherals it’s using. The control registers might be helpful here provided the bootloader can be trusted to configure them and the rest of the OS kernel doesn’t mess with them at startup. The client PRU is entirely at the mercy of the main OS. So it’s hard to argue that you have perfect separation here like you can when you have separate chips talking over a bus. You may also run out of pins to mux peripherals through as display functions and IO can take a lot of pins.
Honestly I read through the article and wasn’t a fan of the authors points. Eg wiki only has four years of excess reserves - compare that to many other foundations and endowments and that number looks low. And he thinks its okay for them to get more money from larger donors vs their attempt at targetting small individual donations which allow wikipedia to maintain neutrality. Really don’t know why he made that argument...

The same virologists that were quick to say 96% similarity to the alleged previously discovered bat coronavirus named RaTG13 is significant? Is 89 to 96% such a big leap, or are they trying to have it both ways?

There is the "plugin" package which seems really cool and fits the simplistic style of Go (tbh I haven't tried this module myself, only glanced at the documentation), but it does not work on Windows, which I think is the reason it is not used. The ticket about adding Windows support to the plugin package is one of the highest rated ones on Go's GitHub, yet it is still open.

We will always use it. Just hopefully more judiciously?

I disagree - this is just a change in the reader but it cascades into format changes.

I don't know if you've ever had the fun of writing a website using bootstrap and then having a client complain that the page layout changes (i.e. becomes responsive) when the window is resized. I've hit that a few times with things that need to go through audits/agency approvals and in those cases you can pull out some of the @media tags and call it a day.

Imagine having to make sure that liquid mode won't reflow a document that was signed off on by the FDA because there's a concern that the ISI (important safety instructions) box required to occupy 10% of real estate on that page might be shrunk to occupy 5%.

I agree this announcement is a lot less disruptive than the statement initially makes it look, but it's still going to have knock on effects.

> I would go even further and say that if the result is good enough for the requirements, it's not half-arsing, even if the result could be made better with more time and effort.

Ooh, both I and professor Deming would disagree with you there. It is not enough to just meet requirements.

The thing you're building is going to become a component in a very complex system, and all the nuances that matter there are impossible to capture in a specification.

If it just conforms to specification, someone will need to file it down to be able to slot it into the right place, and it'll still only go with excess friction and thorny edges.

To create something that actually works and makes users happy, one has to go beyond the specification, understand and optimise for the system it is going into.

That's fascism - "forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society".

I may disagree on forced marriage or animals abuse or use of personal vehicle, these are controversial topics. I may call them slavery, cruelty, greenhouse gas supporters. And that may be better. Invent new words.

Marriage is an old tradition with huge set of semantics and a set of laws. There is a civil marriage, a religious marriage, prenuptial agreement. These days there is no obligation to perform it. Single person can adopt child.

Sam asked interesting question - can one marry his mother? sister? imaginary friend? pet he loves more than any human? his car? Why government has a word on any of these? And if anyone has such relations - don't ask the government. Call it whatever you want. I have had the day of first sight, the day I've proposed the hand and heart, the day I've asked for children and many more, these are the dearest moments. The day of marriage was not that great by comparison.
> I think it largely confirms the point of my post though - we need independent certification labs in the US to make imported PPE usable. It is unclear what % of reported quality failures in that report were due to counterfeits.

I agree, but we've seen that be corrupted by profit-seeking
> Are there teslas without physical "key" cards of fobs?

No
This should really just be the top post... I've been in this field for a while and totally agree. You're going to get vastly more practical applications out of liquid fuels or electricity stored in batteries.

The energy density of hydrogen is great on a mass basis but sucks on a volume basis unless it's compressed in which case the container is heavy enough that you lose all the gains. Plus compressed hydrogen is way harder to protect in an accident.

I think any theoretical application for hydrogen fuel cells you will find is using batteries in ten years. That's my opinion. The biggest advantage of a fuel cell is decoupling energy density from power density and flow cells solve that with batteries that use liquids that are easier to handle than hydrogen.
You got to look at both efficiency and storage costs. Batteries are really expensive but efficient.

For short term storage batteries make more sense because short term efficiency affect economics more.

But when you store long term that storage needs to be cheap. Hydrogen or a synthetic fuel derived from hydrogen gives you that.

There are also use cases where batteries are too heavy. For long flights batteries are too heavy but hydrogen will work. After all plenty of rockets use hydrogen fuel, none use lithium-ion.

Then there are plenty of industrial process which can use hydrogen. E.g. a lot of coal is used as a reducing agent when producing silicon, iron etc. This cause emissions when creating solar cells e.g.

By using hydrogen as a reducing agent instead we don’t get CO2 emissions.
