Oh, lots of ways cheap gas would help me afford a flat! First of all it takes a ton of energy to build a home, so housing would be fundamentally cheaper. Then, every month, I'd be spending less money on heating or air conditioning. I'd also be spending less of my own money on transportation (either through less gas costs, or buses/trains being cheaper). Then since goods are cheaper at the store, I have more money to spend at the store.

There is one mode of transportation that is currently REALLY cheap and that's huge ships. That's why we import so much from China -- sending a huge ship across the ocean is really cheap. If all forms of transit were that cheap (trucks, flights) the world would be very different.
PCI and USB bus standards include dynamic enumeration but ARM SOCs normally only use them as external interfaces.

IP blocks inside the SOC itself usually just expose their registers on an AXI bus with no enumeration support at all, this is most likely the case with the M1 gpu.
Why should productivity be tied to compensation? If I hire myself out to dig foundations for a living, I will be more productive if I'm provided with a backhoe versus provided with a shovel. But isn't it the business investing in productivity enhancing measures that is responsible for my increased productivity, not anything intrinsic in myself?

> Sometimes, even as a consumer, this is desired

I don't understand this argument. The goal is not to be intrinsically "slow", but to be suitably "careful". If you can be as careful as needed, but execute that careful process in such a way that no time is wasted, that's a win. The two are separate questions.

To put it differently: high-security systems programmers don't move their fingers more slowly on the keyboards because "going slow is better". They put checks in place, and they take as much time as is needed to do things right, but padding that time just for the sake of "slowness" helps nobody.

> Government is also inefficient by design. Imagine the gov’t pivoting to different laws every week - it would be completely unsustainable and would drive people crazy.

Speed of change has nothing to do with efficiency of implementation. I'm talking about writing laws that are efficient for companies to deal with, not streamlining the law-passing process so that legislators themselves are unburdened. It's a totally separate thing.

> inefficiency can be a feature...for big companies because it creates a slow and expensive hurdle for smaller competitors

This is true, and could be part of the reason this problem hasn't been addressed. But corporate lobbyists are just one of the many forces influencing legislation, and formalizing ideas around "efficient regulation" would only shed even more light on bad-faith attempts at making laws less efficient for the purpose of moat-building.

Considering Russia and China started using their vaccines months ago we could have had the answer anyway. We just didn’t want to look.
How many different viruses are there that cause the common cold? About 200? If we can get an effective vaccine for this coronavirus in under a year why aren't we working on all the other coronaviruses and rhinoviruses? I know nothing about biology but let's say it costs $1 billion to develop and test a successful vaccine for a common cold virus, worldwide for $200 billion that isn't that much to not have to deal with colds anymore. Plus it seems like one vaccine might provide protection for multiple different viruses. Or do they mutate too quickly to keep up?

> there's a lot of "I think the DSL ends up a hinderance" in this [thread] from people that (perhaps) haven't tried it and judge from the looks

As unfair as this seems to you, I think it's also unfair to dismiss them as not having tried it, since I've personally tried many (I can remember encountering them in 2008 on my first ruby project and many times in the interim) and never had a good experience. It feels like a novelty that doesn't really add anything except a disconnect between what I have to write and what I mean, when "what I mean" is actually really simple and not hard to write. Your mileage may vary, but the "DSL hate" is actually rooted in experience for many people.

But you're right, I definitely haven't tried it, and I don't intend to, so I could be missing out. I just really don't think so. More power to everyone who likes this sort of thing. :)

Lose generally (RP, and I think 'most' dialects) does not rhyme with news.

'Lose' rhymes with 'two's [complement]'; 'news' rhymes with 'pews'. (The latter pair has a /j/ or 'yuh sound' before the vowel.)

(Heh, really is a can of worms isn't it: 'choose' rhymes with 'lose'; not with 'loose'. Poor ESL learners, no envy from me! Hindi/devanagari, which I'm learning as a second language, is so easy by comparison.)

Criticism from my other comment aside, thank you for the work on HA. It is a monumental problem y'all are trying to solve.

I think a large portion of my gripes are due to what I describe as an in-between state right now. Is HA for those with Linux experience? Is it not? If it's the later, UI features that don't do anything should never be allowed in releases. Right now, I can't delete a dead Z-Wave node. The button is greyed out. I have to delete as much as I can from the UI, then clean it up from the yaml files. This is not something a layman can do. I just want one button to delete a dead node from entities, nodes, Z-Wave, switch, and devices, or tell me where exactly I need to delete things from yaml and .storage.

Also, I think the project needs to get away from entities and nodes, or at least hide them in the UI and end user documentation. It's too abstract and not always relevant to the end-user.
I really can't stop thinking about an Observable-only AOT compiled template language-based framework. You could achieve a compile-time version of React's Suspense framework incredibly cheaply (from a user developer standpoint) entirely in the way you compile-time compose, schedule, and subscribe Observables in a template and its child templates. So much of the work that React's Suspense has to do at runtime, such as scheduling things to arrive at requestAnimationFrame() time, debouncing/throttling updates, coordinating (composing) related updates in child components, all have simple RxJS operator equivalents, and you could declare all of that simply in templates leaving the compiler to do the final RxJS operator compositions and most users of the templates to not have any idea how complicated some of those final compiled compositions may be, but directly gaining the benefits of them (such as cleanly debounced AOT-compiled DOM updates at requestAnimationFrame time; complexly coordinated multi-component update patterns). It's an amazing sounding framework in my head. Very worried I at least need to build a prototype of it now or it will continue to haunt my dreams.

Indeed. No.
From the thread:

> In a report from November 2019, however, an analyst wrote that Amazon hired Pinkerton spies who were "inserted" into a warehouse in Wroclaw, Poland, to investigate an allegation that management coached job candidates on how to complete job interviews and possibly even conducted the process for them.

The Pinkerton spies were posted in a Wroclaw warehouse, known as WRO1, operated by the Amazon contractor ADECCO to investigate the allegation, according to the Amazon report. "PINKERTON operatives were inserted into WRO1 ADECCO between 2019-11-19 and 2019-11-21. No identifiable evidence of coaching on behalf of the agency recruiters was observed," the document states. "Investigative actions to prove/disprove this hypothesis are ongoing."

While some of Amazon's other activities listed here are concerning or worse, I can't see anything surprising or improper about the actual Pinkerton episode.
Water Based Analog Computer
IIRC, we were fairly unaware of the long term effects at that point. All we really knew was that age had a factor. So a bunch of healthy young people would have signed up, thinking that the chances of harm, even if they got the placebo, were fairly low, when in reality there were significant chances of being permanently (or at least very long term) maimed.

Essentially, no one signing up for the trial would have been properly able to give consent, because no one knew the real consequences.

It's controversial because your tone is childish and condescending.
That's not what I was saying. To clarify, everything that's GTK and Qt is already Wayland native and scales just fine. It's also not true at all that everything is full of bugs and unusable. In fact I can only think of a single Wayland-specific bug in a GTK app, and it's already fixed.
I have worked on similar projects to this game in the past (at scale) so it's close to my heart.

To me the benefit of the default redundant arguments error is pedagogical. It forces me to think more closely about what it means to set nullable, assuming I was coming to the game with a limited understanding of Django code. Just glimpsing a note in the docs doesn't register nearly as quickly interactive play does.

I would love to see this format used more extensively. When I'm learning an API I tend to fire up a REPL and explore it by poking. I do it even with basic mathematics that have fallen out of my brain.

Very much enjoyed and it served as a quick refresher!

They're fixing bugs in an app that is 10 screens of lists. How does someone who knows what they're doing make this many bugs this subtle in such an app? I have no idea.

Not sure what 'containerize' means in this context, but adding a Dockerfile, building the image and changing your box to use docker should definitely not reduce velocity or increase deploy time to half an hour...

> “Through further investigation, we learned that Pray.com had protected some files, setting them as private on the buckets to limit access,” they explained. “However, at the same time, Pray.com had integrated its S3 buckets with another AWS service, the AWS CloudFront content delivery network (CDN). Cloudfront allows app developers to cache content on proxy servers hosted by AWS around the world – and closer to an app’s users – rather than load those files from the app’s servers. As a result, any files on the S3 buckets could be indirectly viewed and accessed through the CDN, regardless of their individual security settings.”

I have minimal knowledge of this kind of configuration, but it seems like making content available via a CDN from the same vendor should by default carry forward access restrictions on the original backend data.

I'm surprised that you think that too much legislating is the problem. No legislation can even happen without bipartisan support unless one party has control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, AND the Presidency. Oh, and unless there's a supermajority in the Senate, the minority party can filibuster most legislation anyway.

Sounds like a great way to ensure that compromise has to happen, except that the party in power ends up getting credit for anything that gets done (or doesn't get done), plus to the other side they're dangerous fanatics who can't be trusted.

If you're in the minority, why not just ensure that the ruling party (if it can even be called that) fails to accomplish anything? Your side will love blocking their agenda, and if enough people aren't paying attention maybe they'll blame the other side for "not getting anything done".

As long as your party can hold out hope for not losing too badly in the next election, the status quo works just fine.

Yesterday, we lost the password to our bed.

Of all of out IoT mishaps, this one was possibly the most ridiculous. We have a SleepNumber bed that adjusts up and down. I'd just cracked a rib and really wanted to sit upright in bed.

The problem was, I'd gotten a new phone. The bed has an app (because of course it does) and the only way to adjust it is via the app. So I try to use the app and realize I first need to log in. The problem is, we have no idea what the email address that was used was, nor the password. Password reset isn't working. Eventually after half an hour we gave up and used a bunch of pillows instead.

Even when the app works, it's terrible. It's super laggy (it sometimes takes a full minute to adjust the bed) and is a privacy nightmare - it wants to log every bedroom "activity" and send all the data back to sleep number and there is no way to permanently disable the feature - all you can do is pause data collection temporarily, which means it will ask you again next time you open the app.

There doesn't seem to be a good way to pre-set "only adjust MY side of the bed" so usually any adjustments I try to make end up moving my wife as well. All in all, the app is terrible.

I fully intent to get around to reverse engineering the protocol and writing a home assistant plugin for it, just as soon as I get a spare few days (i.e. never).

I still can't believe I need a password to use my bed...
There's nothing stopping you from doing your development, testing, and deployment against the base OS on your Pis.

Even beyond pure learning opportunities, though, there are good reasons to containerize applications even on a system as low-powered as a Raspberry Pi.

For example: if you have a k8s, Docker Swarm, Nomad (disclaimer: I work on the Nomad team @ HashiCorp), etc. orchestrator in place you can keep workloads up and running even as you take down individual machines. (This can help a lot for OS upgrades, replacing failing hardware, disk upgrades, etc. on a running cluster.)

Likewise, you can develop + test your containers on a more performant or convenient machine (like a PineBook Pro, or VMC on a Chromebook) and deploy to the Pi(s) without having to manually map your FS layout, dependencies, etc. to Raspbian or another Pi-specific distro.

It's not something you _need_ to do, necessarily, but neither does that mean there isn't value, esp. for folks already comfortable with a container-based deployment workflow.
Some onion websites use the certificate as an anti-phishing measure. Since onion domains are hard to remember, a certificate can verify that you are, indeed, connected to e.g. Facebook’s servers and not a phishing website.
Microwaves and the Internet
I've known for a while that Microwaves can cause interference for Wi-Fi/Radio but I have a stubborn client that doesn't believe it is also interfering with the cable modem. The microwave in question is from the early 90's so it is extremely powerful. In the office, they decided to put this microwave in the supply closet because it is pretty big and it just so happens that there is a coax splitter in this same supply closet. One of the legs off of this splitter eventually terminates at the office modem and the other heads apparently to another office in the building. The cable management is nice and I can tell the COMCAST contractor who does this building takes pride in their work and I'm not sure it is feasible to move the splitter they have in place since they seem to have that dialed in pretty good and I don't want to mess with their signal attenuation. My theory is that the splitter and cables are picking up the microwave and then disrupting the modems, I say modems because I finally asked the other businesses in the building if they had been dropping internet at the same time. Turns out usually around 7:50-8:00 AM the internet drops and then from 12:00-13:00, the internet will typically drop which coincides with people using the microwave.

I’ve been searching the internet for some good documentation I can show the business owner and building owners in regards to microwaves and things like LED’s so my questions are:
1.-Has anyone had a similar experience and if so is there some good documentation somewhere I can get? Can include paying for academic journals, I don’t mind doing that.
2.-Is there an off the shelf solution that would be good for this? I know I can “Shield” it but would rather be able to buy a product from a small business.
3.-Aside from microwaves, copiers, and the standard suspects, what have you come across that cause interference that was unexpected or random?
If you have insurance and are not going for a routine exam once a year, you're doing a disservice to yourself because you miss the opportunity to catch issues that can be easily fixed when caught early but catastrophic if not.

I doubt it. You need to actually have a position that can be shown to be true or false with the passage of time before you can learn something from the passage of time. You have a bizare, logically disconnected, rant that does not make any predictions. I don't think any course of events would prove you right (or wrong).

Fossil fuel depletion is also a key impetus for the action in Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus by Orson Scott Card.

TV Tropes calls this a "Morton's Fork" and describes it for this book as: What spurs the decision to change the past even though it'll erase our timeline and existence is the fact that Earth is doomed to an even worse apocalyptic scenario than the one they've already experienced. The human population will be reduced to under 10 million, and humanity will be plunged back into the Stone Ages with little hope of ever rising to civilization ever again, as they have exhausted all easily available energy sources and climate change means they will soon be facing a new ice age.
