Just yesterday I "launched" my fist Sonoff S20 power outlet.... before purchasing, hooked up I can eventually control it from home assistant if I burn tasmota firmware on that device.

I stumbled upon SonoffLAN https://github.com/AlexxIT/SonoffLAN which I'm gonna try first. However there is a comment on github that gets me thinking:

> Local only mode (manual get devicekey)

> I don’t understand who needs it, but you never know. You must manually get devicekey for each device. Only works with devices on 3rd firmware.

I mean, he is thinking: why non-cloud access. While I'm thinking - having a power outlet depend on some 3rd party service, having internet access, having some app on android, which asks for location access to setup wifi and having account on manufacturer site just to control power outlet......... I just cannot wrap it in my head and glad I did some googling before buying.

That vegans - in the comparison to a conventional nutrition - take less of certain nutrients without food addition, is well-known. One can therefore ask why such a study is necessary. Possibly the chapter "Funding" of the study provides a hint: The work is supported by [...] Wellcome Trust Our Planet Our Health (Livestock, Environment, and People, LEAP 205212/Z/16/Z); see https://www.leap.ox.ac.uk/home.

EDIT: recently I watched "The Game Changers" (https://gamechangersmovie.com/) which shows a rather different view on our nutrition and its relation with health and environment, highly recommended.

I can't believe nobody said Rogue Legacy yet. This game is amazing and they are producing Rogue Legacy 2 right now.

It gets even better once you realize there are speedrunners who are able to beat the game in 5 minutes. Watch and try to copy them lol.

I also remember enjoying that Roguelike game that is a sequel to Final Fantasy X-2. I know it's not FF X-3, the name is something else, but I can't google it now.
That hasn’t helped an awful of a lot with COVID (the UK and Hawaii come to mind), and in terms of blocking Facebook, I’m not clear on the relevance? I think I need an eli5.
Hey, don't crash the simulation! I haven't had dinner yet.

GraphViz (https://graphviz.org/) and PlantUML (https://plantuml.com/).

My experience here is much more limited, but I'm certain there are text based versions of 3D model formats. The names of these formats just doesn't come immediately to mind, but having worked with antenna models, we'd stay with text representations whenever possible, and it worked just fine.

This is where things get tricky, and again, I don't have experience in these domains. I can say, I've worked on projects where binary assets were tracked in Perforce. Not sure how efficient it was with diffs, but I know it worked, and probably better than git, which yes, doesn't know anything about binaries.

Note: I am not a fan of Perforce, for other reasons, but I am not blind to the fact that it handles binary versioning better than git.

Note2: I will also add, SVGs are just one image format that can be stored as text. NetPBM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netpbm) has also been around forever.
Define "we" and define "rich".

Because if by "we" you mean, anyone who has a blue collar job and/or "just" went to a state school, and if by "rich" you mean, able to afford a house,have the luxury of one partner (usually the woman) to stay home, medical costs in any eventuality, send their kids to college, then you are sadly mistaken.

Exactly, it would be interesting to look at the growth in real income and income equality from a global perspective.
However it works is how it works. Capitalism absolutely devolves into the corrupt oligopolies we have today, where businesses capture government and entrench their position and power over everyone else. Strong organized labor and various forms of social democracy can resist these trends, but what's happening in America is just Capitalism running its course.
I'm a proponent of the Gold Standard because inflation is a hidden tax. Worse, it is a regressive tax on the poor. There is a cost to having 6 fleets of aircraft carriers, 20 years of endless war and a huge unfunded pension liability. If we decided to pay for our promises in an honest way - it would equal 10% of our GDP for 75 years. Gold is honest money. Fiat currency is not.
I don't buy this because we could have easily kept on building nuclear power plants. There was temporarily an energy shock, but the long-term issue is insufficient demand not (energy) supply.

It's frustrating too because both Slack and Discord fail to adequately provide either multi-account or at least multi-client on the same host in a nice way. Because of the Slack workspace/Discord server sprawl I always run into a situation where I want to login to the community/people/work that I am focused in but some days you just need to be in two different scopes at once.

Fair enough. I know they're just words on paper with escalating levels of authority, and at the end of the day we get the government/money we want/deserve.

I personally benefited some $2000/year from the Trump tax cuts that I know my children will have to repay some day at punitive rates, but apparently that's what my fellow citizens want. Without a cultural change, founded on a spiritual change, why should we expect our government, finances, or money to change? I love Hayek but I disagree with that quote at the bottom of the site. A "poison pill" is no solution to our problems.
I, too, am a GPL fan. But come on, who are you or I to dictate what the author of a piece of code does? This guy seems genuinely happy that Nintendo used his code. What's the problem?
> metallurgy, manufacture the concrete, or synthesize the petrochemicals in the absence of fossil fuel energy

I think you could use biomass to bootstrap these. Biosmass wouldn't be sustainable, but once you have the metallurgy, etc in place you could then build wind turbines.
I mean, operating systems are remarkable pieces of engineering. Mostly. But that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about those cases when people pile 5 layers of abstraction just so they don't have to learn something, but get done with the job a little bit quicker. They don't try to understand neither the inner workings of these layers nor the CPU/memory/storage cost. If it means you write fewer code, it goes into your project. Thus you end up with "desktop apps" that are websites, with all the amazements (/s) of the modern web development, packaged with an insanely complex thing that a web browser is — just so the bullshit unrealistic "business requirements" are met. Or laggy, bloated mobile apps that get updated every week with no discernible changes. These just scream that the people behind them have no clue what they're doing.

To play the Devil's advocate here: what's the difference between Panzer General and KZ Manager? A valid answer is "no difference!" But if you think there is a difference, you need to articulate that.
Exactly this.

You can't take "well this is happening but it's not real capitalism" even though everyone's calling it capitalism. It's capitalism. Capitalism is busted and rewards greed and concentration of wealth.

It doesn't take a galaxy brain super genius to figure out that an economic system that relies on infinite growth doesn't exactly pan out in the long run, and what we're seeing in America today is just the late effects of the capitalist system that we allowed to run rampant because apparently any amount of socialism is communism and scary because reasons I guess.
Damn! Were you/they able to start the car??

When I was an auto mechanic back in the 90s, more than once I've pulled a car into a bay that wasn't the car I was supposed to work on. The keys matched, make and model matched, must be the one that needs an oil change. And, yes, I've changed the oil on a car that wasn't there for an oil change.

It didn't happen but a handful of times over a few years, but it did occasionally happen. Does it happen with modern keyless entry? Dunno, I've been a software dev for the last 25 years.
I don't think I have a good representative sample because facilities I worked for were a specific sub-population that would probably have a very high percentage that fall into the category of "no need for healthcare until something is broken or bleeding profusely"

With that said, it seems to be quite a bit and skewing higher for males than females.

A coworker and I were recently indulging in dark humor about pandemics being due to load shedding required on account of unexpected simulator platform downtime.
If you meant the older supra then that makes more sense.

The Supra wasn't produced for many years and was recently re-released with this BMW partnership. Many old school Supra fans feel its strayed pretty far from its past and don't regard it well.

The car industry is full of comparisons like this. Luxury is a different scale than performance. You can have either or both. Macs exist higher on the luxury scale than most windows laptops and they offer models across the performance scale. Quite like BMW.
Peter Thiel (who I don't agree with on everything) had a really great take on this once (can't find it at the moment), and basically laid out a strong case on how we haven't really recovered from the oil shocks of the 1970s.

I do think that the early 1970s was the culmination of a bunch of different cultural, political, economic, and social trends meeting together and creating a very different global consensus.

BTW, the Gold Standard was already out the window with original Bretton Woods. Only certain actors (governments and certain NGOs) were allowed to redeem money for Gold. Gradually lots of caveats and weird rules were added to the system because of various structural inefficiencies. The oil shocks just toppled the system, but the financial system of the world was already untenable.
Wait, why does only male income stagnate but female income keeps tracking GDP? Was it women entering the workforce en masse that devalued work?
One other thing I want to point out - when using OSS at a corporation, I have sometimes contributed back to the project as an individual. Sometimes that's because I've done it after hours, and sometimes it's because contributing back as a "representative" of the company would have required going through red tape

I think you're not looking deeply enough. Sure, there are problems when people don't know a language or a paradigm well enough to be comfortable or productive in it. But once they know two paradigms well enough, the "pure vs impure" question becomes a real question in its own right, rather than a cover for "I don't know one of them well enough".

If "it's laggy" is a valid explanation, then literally any economic change since 1971 can be used to "support" the OP's theory.
At this point I kind of wish a supermajority was required for every vote. Then neither party could control legislating over the objections of the other. This trading back and forth every so often thing doesn’t seem to be working great.

Sure media has an effect, sometimes is used for propaganda like the patriotic movies.

So now we both agree that media has an effect. What is the next step, we either find a scientific way to measure the effects and then create laws if the effects are bad. The alternative is to use media to propagate some outrage that the media we don't like maybe has some effects that we don't like.

So do you have a proposal on how to measure the effects and who decides what should be allowed and what should not be allowed?

I propose we look at the last decades, see that the number of gamers increased but there is no correlation with crime , but if you are soem student or scientist I invite you to find such correlation and prove there is some effect.

I am not sure about this game but there could exist there in the world some games that are very immoral or unethical . but if there is no actual real life measurable bad effect we should focus on stuff that we can see the effects like lootboxes or social media/

But if all businesses are run at a loss, the entire system will collapse, so the system requires some companies to be run profitably.

I still maintain that structurally unprofitable companies are an abberation caused by negative interest rates, and I don't think it would be recognised as capitalism by time travellers from the 70s.
You should give Ted Lasso a try. I really enjoyed it.

The entire article is about how "dumb money" is distorting things. The distinction between dumb and smart money is irrelevant - VC money is distorting the economy in a way which benefits a handful of large investment firms and destroys many viable businesses.
A lot of it is second-mover advantage.

Microsoft spent the better part of a decade trying to make tablets work. They poured a ton of money and resources into getting manufacturers on board, developing drivers, refining UIs. Most of it was terrible and clunky, and they had to include increasingly niche features to make them work for the enterprise clients they could land.

The whole time, Apple could afford to wait when doing their own R&D. They could jump in when the hardware was available and affordable without compromises.

Nearly every major product they develop follows this model.
Google did it with Reader, Photos, and is almost finished doing it with email.
As a regular pleb who has only ever flown coach, I'm feel like first class is mostly people for whom the alternative is private/charter— viewed through that lens, it's a huge discount, and the extra perks are small compensation for hassles like abiding by someone else's schedule, having to use a major rather than regional airport, and needing to go through regular security (even with getting to use the priority queue).
>The phone company isn't allowed to block you because you said something politically incorrect to my friends and tech companies should be no different.

AT&T does block their customer's email content without informing their paying customer. At this point I trust NSA more than these private companies. At least NSA has some government oversight and subject to FOIL request with these private companies it is basically the East India company all over again, wild wild west. They can do pretty much what they want. And like the Federal Reserve has their own private armies.

In 1970, the intermodal shipping container became an ISO standard: https://www.freightos.com/the-history-of-the-shipping-contai...

As containers became adopted, shipping ports specializing as container ports came to dominate world trade in terms of shipping volume. These ports were designed to bring the port, rail, and highway together. Crane operators efficiently loaded and unloaded containers. There was a flywheel effect as, more efficient container ports were expanded to accomodate larger container ships, which in turn, had port cities investing in more container port capabilities. Traditional ports died, with shipping consolidating into a much smaller group of container ports. As long as there were sufficient rail and highway access to those ports, goods could still be distributed inland.

Along with the rise of the minicomputer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minicomputer) to handle logistics, what we got was a world-wide logistics network that enabled things like just-in-time manufacturing.

The late 1960s and early 1970s was also about the time ecological consciousness became more prominent. I hear from the old permacuturists and ecologists living through those times when large swaths of ecosystems were destroyed to expand things commercially. With healthy natural ecosystems, you could live land-rich, cash-poor. But with the ability to ship things easily and cheaply all throughout the world, local ecosystems became exploited and overharvested (the end-consumers had no personal stake in the ecosystem from which those resources were extracted from).

As productization and monetization of ... everything, including basic essentials of living, is it any surprise that real wages have not risen?
(1) Kraken is way more likely to have the money but that's not what I mean by a rigged casino. Arbitrage bots ensure that prices remain in lockstep between the frauds and the more legitimate, so while they may be good for the payouts, the price action remains as rigged as ever. I believe it's this model that Bitfinex relies on when they buy BTC with fake Tether, as they can then move it into legitimate exchanges that arbitrage bots have brought into lockstep and sell for cash.

(2) A larger issue is that not everyone is in America but still require USD as is it is the most liquid exchange pair.

Sounds like what they need is more liquid exchange pairs in global currencies instead of fictitious money.
I think a counter-factual is an invention that came along many years after all the precursors were present. And would have been in demand / successful / useful much earlier.

Are there any examples of that? Wheeled suitcases is sometimes cited, even if it is a slightly less profound advancement than the ammonia/nitrogen process.
My team migrated a service handling >1.6k req/s at peak time, from Scala (Finatra), to Python (Django). Same number of servers (3x c5.large), just higher CPU utilization (from ~15% to 70%).

Scala was great, but unfortunately it made it difficult to onboard new team members into the project, so development suffered. Also the rest of our stack is mostly Python, so we couldn't use a lot of the common tooling, and libraries we had built for other projects.

We migrated it within a month, and it's been running for almost a year without issues.

At some point the service even recorded 3k+ req/s at ~200ms 99p latency. Yeah, maybe not Google scale, but more than enough for 99% of the businesses out there.

This service handles about 2.5 billion requests per month from one AWS region. We're a small team, and that's only one of the services we support. Which is great because we don't need to spend all of our time optimizing it.
No, it doesn't make it go away, but it makes the "function coloring problem" about as much a problem as the "colors" of functions as determined by their return types. You can't pass a `func () string` to an api accepting a `func () int`.

> Krita is more than enough for a lot of photo editing needs, which are basically cropping, resizing, applying color filters

If it's your definition of photo editing then any freeware (ie: xnview, windows' image viewer...) can do this. You don't need Photoshop - which is pro high end software - to do this kind of basic stuffs.
On the one hand, AWACS has a giant round protruding antenna that makes it instantly recognizable in any photograph. On the other hand, you would probably engaging any aircraft at sufficient distance that you might not be able to make out many details about it.
That wouldn't work for two reasons.

1. That would capture all water usage, which is not helpful when you're trying to take specific action based on water usage in a specific room. No point turning on the wrong bathroom's fan, or turning it on when you do laundry.

2. Presumably if you're ventilating the bathroom for odor control, you wish to ventilate it long before the toilet in question is actually consuming water, since it only does that at the end.

Ideally if you're trying to turn the fan on during toilet usage, you'd want a way to detect that the toilet is in use long before said toilet is using water. Presumably motion would be sufficient, although I guess one could detect weight on the toilet somehow.

Just a thought when it might be viable: if a subset of that table receives a lot of updates, and it would be helpful to your access patterns if some of it was separated into a different table that was rarely updated but accessed a lot?
> And energy is a massive component in the price of almost everything we consume.

Is it really? What would be different if energy was much cheaper? Would we have more advanced rockets or robots or phones? Better CPUs? More and cheaper housing built in dense cities? Cheaper education or medicine? More job security? Even more food?

I realize that energy is an important input into some industrial processes, but I don't really think we're constrained by it (or by manufacturing in general) right now...
