Crosstalk is when two wires are close together, one induces a voltage in the other (it's how transformers work). The trouble with house wiring is if you run a phone line parallel and close to an A/C line, it will induce a 60 cycle hum in the phone line, which will drive you utterly mad.

The electrician was installing the cat3 phone wires in the same holes as the A/C wires. It was guaranteed to induce a hum.

The correct approach is to keep the low voltage wires as far from the A/C as you can, and if they cross, keep the crossing at 90 degrees. Don't run them in parallel unless they are separated by feet (plural). If you have to, you can run them in grounded metal conduit as a shield.

I probably went overboard on this, but doing it inadequately meant 60 cycle humming on the phone lines and an utterly ghastly bill to rip the walls up and fix it.

He also was installing cat3 (POTS cable) and R59 cable (1970's cable TV stuff). I pulled that all out and threw it in the trash, putting in cat5 (cat5e and cat6 are better, but weren't available then) and quad-shielded RG6 cable.

Getting the best cable available cost maybe 20 or 30 dollars more, so it's crazy not to do it. The network and cable speeds have all increased dramatically since I installed it, and the cables have all worked like a champ.

Even the cat5 cables are happily carrying gigabit Ethernet.

I have a couple plugboards in the basement where all the wires terminate.

I did the whole thing for less than a grand. If an electrician had done it, it likely would have been 10 or 20x more.
It seems less of a turning point and more of a "squeeze the accelerator even harder" year. It was almost all a continuation of existing trends.

I have a dreadful feeling that the turning point for all of this societal dysfunction will be following the aftermath of a world war.
I think a reusable coffee cup would be a much simpler solution.
Hard to tell if this is Charles Koch actually deciding to become more of a philanthropist than a partisan in his old age, or just a veiled threat to the GOP that he's ready to jump ship in the event that the GOP remains the "party of Trump" after 2020. The latter isn't that wild an idea as the Democrats have slid into more Koch-friendly positions on virtually everything except deregulation over the past decade. They'd face a lot of resistance from Democrats who instinctually hate them, though.
I don’t think you have captured their take on immigration correctly. If it is only illegal immigration that is bad, that would mean that changing the law to make them legal would solve the problem. But that’s not what they want.
Yes, and I have been since I was a kid. There have been several periods when my personal and professional life have taken huge hits and I felt like I was set back several years on a number of occasions. It feels like it takes a lot of work just to have a relatively normal life. Still, I'm mostly doing fine.
If the diagram is to scale, then from the specs it's suggesting a room of about 4m x 4m.

Looking at their other product the "Studio Suite" that one's diagram and specs suggest a room about 6m x 3.5m.

(Both are larger than my largest room.)

On their marketing page, they target landlords not tenants, with the suggestion that landlords should buy these and will then be able to charge higher rent.

The metric standard distinguishes 3 thread pitches: regular, fine, and superfine. So even if you say it's the same standard, not everything of the same size matches.

I also have Shimano internal hub. It's claimed spare parts are impossible to get. Of course just a screw might be different. When it broke it was replaced as a whole, luckily on warranty.
Mastodon didn’t work. The architecture couldn’t handle Japanese Twitter migrants overwhelming the network and Gab issues that came later. In current form, it is just an on-prem Twitter clone.
Retrofitting new wires to every light fixture and switch in a house is unenviable. In some cases, impossible. Laminate floors can deprive you of subfloor access of a whole floor, running cables through existing stud walls is difficult at the best of times...

Wirelessly linked smoke alarms are becoming extremely common now in the UK because outside a narrow envelope building regulations want linked alarms (linked either wired or wirelessly) on every floor. Imagine converting a basement and attic of a 1800s victorian house, and having to find a way to run a new cable from the roof of the attic to the ceiling of the basement. So instead it's a relatively dumb chip which shouts 'fire' on an unlicensed frequency block and a great deal of complexity is saved.

There is a chance you could do here what powerline adapters do, and use the ground wire to communicate. But they are notoriously inconsistent and there's any number of reasons it wouldn't work
>Mechanical keyboards are all the rage these days! People love the satisfying tactile sensation, and some go on great lengths to customise them to their exact liking.

Totally agree. it is one of reason why I hate 'smart phone', try using iphone of android when it is wet/rainy outside. It is a total disaster. Hope we switch back to tactile buttons very soon.
Clear-text is the OSCP mechanics. This is nothing to do with Apple or MacOS.

Potentially it could now be tackled with DNSSEC + DoH similar to the records ESNI/ECH puts in the DNS to encrypt initial HTTPS client hellos.

But the loop issue is quite real. How can you validate the certificate the OSCP server gives you has not been revoked, using OSCP???

Do you think it's right to state something because of "common wisdom"? Claims like "order of magnitudes faster" should be supported by a reference, because from my own experience making something order of magnitude faster is really difficult and sometimes impossible. This is btw why Blend2D provides a benchmarking tool, to not claim something that cannot be verified.

I'm the author of Blend2D and I have never stated what you claim I did. I just gave up trying to compile SKIA. The benchmarking tool Blend2D uses is open source, maybe you can contribute SKIA backend to the tool and use it as an evidence? Otherwise all you say is just unfounded, sorry.

BTW SKIA team was positively impressed by the performance of Blend2D when it came out and we are in contact. I would not be surprised if SKIA started using similar techniques like Blend2D - for example JIT compiler. They are exploring new territories like Blend2D does.
KFC trialled an edible cup in 2015 here in the UK. I don't think it took off, more of a gimmick in this form but quite an interesting experiment.

Ultimately, there's little difference between incompetence and malevolence when acting in this level. Incompetence might actually be slightly worse.

The malevolent act on their best interest which is often predictable and limited. The incompetent simply give away data to every random badguy under the sun.
This is definitely not true for most coffee chains in the UK (I haven't actually been to starbucks recently). I've watched them make the coffee straight into my cup.
" if someone is volunteering, DON'T EVER push them to do more than they committed to"

That should be a no brainer, but sadly people do it, becuse it works. People who volunteer have a tendency to help others beyound their own limits. And other people exploit that.

Setting up your boundaries is extremly important, not just in open source.
Over the years I've developed numerous libraries that would be useful to other devs and considered open sourcing them, then I look at the way open source developers are treat and thought "nope".

I've no interest in any of that mess if I'm honest.
Absolutely agreed on all counts.

The point about teachers is also something I think is quite neglected today. A teacher with real-world experience of their subject is vastly better than someone who has known nothing of the world outside education. And that's of value far beyond the subject matter: they can provide career guidance and real-world perspectives of all kinds that less experienced teachers simply can't provide. Certainly some of the best teachers I had were those who had done real work.

Regarding the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I absolutely agree. But I think it should go further. I think all MPs should have direct experience of running a business and having to make payroll. Too many of them lack understanding of the reality of what a business is, and how the economy runs. It would temper some of the most extreme and dangerous actions, from taxation to social welfare spending. Too many think businesses are "rich" and can be taxed with impunity to pay for things of dubious benefit. It's easy to be profligate with other people's money if it seems like it's there for the taking. Experience might make them think about how to grow the economy to benefit us all, and reduce unnecessary expenditure. They might also think more carefully about supporting small businesses while ensuring large multinationals also pay their dues. I personally paid more corporation tax than several multinationals, despite earning less than the living wage.

For the first time, I set up and ran my own small consulting business for the past two years after being made redundant. (I'm also in the UK.) It was a small-time business with only one client for a couple of small contracts, and I since got a new permanent position. But the experience of having to do all the company registration, contract negotiation, invoicing, bookkeeping, dealing with accountants, paying corporation tax, and finally getting it all wound up was an invaluable experience which will likely be of great benefit in better understanding the businesses I work for. It gave me a proper appreciation of the realities of running a business, including all of the responsibilities you have to shoulder. I think every elected politician should have this experience. Every self-employed person in the country has a better understanding of the practical reality of economics and taxation than most of our politicians. And I think all politicians should be aware of the reality of what the rest of the country has to bear in response to the decisions they make.

This is painful.

Maybe the user is being reasonable, maybe they're not.

Can't we do something to get (back) to a common understanding that reporting a bug is not the same thing as expecting the maintainer to fix the bug for you?
AFAIK it the '--ignore' flag works no longer so I would be very happy if your share with us how to do it.

A good bugreport and good followup on questions, is also collaboration. Those will only strengthen the code or documentation in some way.

When people ask you to fix their problem, without providing any useful information or relevance to the software, it's hoping for free support. For companies offering free support, it sometimes makes sense to dive that deep into userland.

For individuals you need a clear model what you're willing to do and how, as something that at first may seem fun and engaging, can quickly become too much and draining over time.
The article explains the novelty as: “[T]he researchers found a very clever trick: they leverage ICMP rate limits as a side channel to reveal whether a given port is open or not. ICMP rate limiting was introduced (somewhat ironically, given this attack) as a security feature to prevent a server from being used as an unwitting participant in a reflection attack.“ The suggested mitigation is Linux kernel upgrade to roll out unpredictable ICPM rate limiting.
Ok say we switch OSCP to HTTPS.

How to we know the certificate presented by the OSCP server has not been revoked? We can’t ask the OSCP server cos that’s what we’re trying to handshake with!

The loop is very real and non trivial to solve. I’d expect something similar to what ESNI/ECH does leveraging DNSSEC + DoH may be possible NOW, but that’s a recent development.

Does anyone here have any experience with KNX? It seems like the best wired system (without being locked into a single manufacturer), but from what I understand it's expensive and not aimed at DIYers.

For context I'm in the process of building a house and like OP am considering Shelly modules, but it seems a bit silly to go wireless when I am doing everything from scratch.
Ok, here goes:

I think I might have depression. But my life is by all accounts pretty damn good. I don’t have any health issues, actually I’m fitter than most people. I make a great salary, have good relationships. I show up to work and do a good job.

However I’ve been managing this shitty feeling that I just can’t seem to shake. It’s been so long it’s my new normal. I get fatigued and agitated easily. I feel alone - even when I know I’ve got good people in my life. I’ve tried combatting this by reducing complications in my life. Limited possessions, no pets or anything to take care of, no subscriptions or services, just keep it simple. I’ve been trying to date, but oh man dating apps suck balls...

I severely limit alcohol consumption, and do self care things like get myself massages, take time out etc.

I’m the guy everyone looks up to, but the truth is most days once all the distractions are gone I feel pretty “meh” and just tired. I don’t talk to anyone apart from my friend / ex gf about this stuff.

Maybe it’s a distorted lense but I feel like the “help” out there is just like a bandaid to the problem. Like is there really no better solution other than stuffing yourself full of drugs and people telling you to go exercise (is 4 gym classes a week not enough?)?

People will say stuff like “it’s ok to ask for help”, but honestly I feel like there are real disadvantages to being labeled as “depressed”. Donating sperm, applying to become police officer, insurance are some examples.

A while back I tried Better Help, and maybe it wasn’t a good match, but it just left me feeling disillusioned with psychologists. Honestly I felt like the woman I was matched with didn’t care and was a bit dumb. Perhaps part of the problem is I’ve learnt to mask my feelings - it’s bloody hard to admit this stuff, yes I’m your typical male that doesn’t want to talk about his feelings...

Anyway, to summarise, I just feel a bit shit most days. I don’t hate myself, and I feel like life is absolutely worth living. I do have hope that there’s something I can do to improve my situation.

I suspect it might be “talk to a doctor” and / or “find a shrink that works for me”... although I have a level of skepticism about the whole thing.

Any anecdotes or recommendations would be helpful! I know the only way out is through taking action.
> And the reverse supply chains to get containers back to producers put in place.

That isn't as straightforward as it seems, they are returning what is a contaminated waste product. That needs to be kept very separate from the clean food-grade food & packaging deliveries, you can't just chuck a bag of waste in the delivery vehicles.
It typically takes me 2-3 weeks to not miss it. And that's after tapering down consumption. It's definitely doable.
Note, this is what I use things but I also have dumb switches to control if things fail. I also dont put control in hard to reach places. I just use outdoor sensors + smart bulbs.

Use case 1: Open all lights in yard at night when exterior gate is open or motion detected. Shut off after set amount of time of no activity.

Use case 2: light in shed/basement/garage on when door is open.

Use case 3: control lights via telegram / get notifications as alarm system.

Use case 4: water sensors anywhere you can get a leak. (have been flooded while away)

Use case 5: you dont want to rewire the house but want to link multiple lights together.

Use case 6: you want to remotely enable lights outside from second floor to check what the dog is barking at.

I can go on.

Correct.

Ultimately maybe OSCP could do something similar, or fall back to DANE or some alternate validation method that wouldn’t cause a “loop.”

I agree with that.

Now, let's get back to what Trump said. Right after he said what you quoted in that speech, he said: "I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people."

He's constantly repeating how good the Mexicans and Japanese and everyone else is... (as opposed to the American leaders back then)... but the best ones among the Mexicans are not the ones coming in to the U.S. by crossing the border illegally. If you look at the context, he is clearly saying that Mexico has great people in general, the leaders are smarter and they have some terrible people who they're sending across the border illegally.

His opponents, which were all of the media back then, because he was neither liked by either party, attacked him for it. It was even a part of the attack strategy by Jeb Bush's campaign because he has a Mexican wife. They did it by taking the quote out of context, as anybody would do. If I was a political strategist, I would happily do the same. It was a easy hand to play and would potentially sway voters away from him.

Since the election is over, I'm assuming you're not one of Media Matters bots and I think, like a lot of people, you genuinely believe that those remarks were what the media told you they were... which is why I'm having this conversation.

Have a nice day!

Yeah, there isn't support for anything like that yet. I'm planning on having support for Kaitai Struct (and/or other definition languages) in addition to a tool for automating repeating comments/highlights/etc, which might end up being able to do what you describe.
did you miss the bit where I said:

> Are all experts in agreement on virtual particles? If not, which are we meant to 'follow'?

?

the person I was responding to picked out one particular expert's view

"you can just tell them that Arkani-Hamed disagrees with you and that he is also smarter than you."

aside from the silly "he is also smarter than you", just because one expert holds a view doesn't make it right.

If all the experts were unanimous, and the particular point had been well tested, then a point like yours would hold.

Also, the comment I was responding to was assuming that no-one on HN has a relevant background for having a solid opinion on virtual particles. I certainly don't, but I would not make that assumption about everyone on this forum. I don't agree with the notion that just because someone has a high status in a field that this automatically makes their opinions superior to other people in that field.
