I'm generally less interested in browser-hosted applications for 3D stuff (compared to desktop apps) but this is written with an interesting combination of technologies that span desktop and web. For example, OpenCASCADE, the same library used in FreeCAD, is emscripten-compiled to run in javascript. There's a number of support libraries that make web development look much more like application development (window management, etc), controller/gui library.

It's a view of how the web could have evolved (to be a sort of transparent desktop-like application support) earlier, with greater standardization on application-style GUIs.
Agreed, most boards there are a total cesspit. However the stickies and the wikis often have good information (installgentoo.com for instance).
The whitepaper didn’t expect/predict most hashing power being controlled by very few actors.

Edit: I’d say the whitepaper did expect this and basically said it could be a problem:

From the abstract:

> As long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network, they'll generate the longest chain and outpace attacker.
Yes, your second paragraph is agreeing with my second paragraph.

> Plus complaining about the distribution of work is not really useful; you might as well protest the weather! We can't change that in huge ways quickly and have to work with the economy (and, for that matter, often, the infrastructure) that we have.

We certainly can! Look at how opening or closing a single large factory can radically change the surrounding cityscape. Look at how the Space Race created an entire hi tech industry out of the swamps of eastern Florida which continues to this day. Look at what the Public Works Administration in the New Deal did.
Good stuff here - fills in some gaps that are missing in the bubble docs and it's valuable stuff. I'm creating a widget and the course unlocked the key friction points I was encountering.
Thanks for the reply! I'm going to give it a shot!
You can likely tweet or email her directly to request a merchandise store. She may already be close to opening one and can share the good news with you!
The challenge is how you keep your migrations, source code and any seed data synchronised, but only where they should be. There is often a need for any separate migration process/scripts to be synchronised with corresponding changes to the DB access code in the main application, so the models in the application code always match the actual schema in the database. For seed data, there may be some "real" data that should always be present but also some "example" data you want to include (and reset to a known state) for each test in an integration test suite. Etc.

It kind of amazes me that there doesn't yet seem to be a way of handling this in the web development community that has become a de facto standard in the way most of us look at tools like Docker or Git these days.
I think that there are fewer likely culprits than you might think. Most lifting coaches end up heavily relying on only a few cues per exercise, because there aren't that many common pathologies. So something like this could be useful if couched in the normal "not medical advice" sort of way. Yeah, this might not apply to you, but if you find that you e.g. squat with too much forward lean, here is a small set of exercises to augment your workout that you should try for 6 weeks and see if it helps.

Something like that would seem useful to a lot of lower-mid weightlifters who don't have a real lifting coach.
Really appreciate the feedback. We are working on updating our website this month to be more detailed regarding our solution, including a video walkthrough.

Regarding the free trial, complete miss on our part. We just went in and updated our site to make it clear that yes, we offer a 30 day free trial.
This is great and all, but why didn't Amazon offer this sooner?
I always wonder about bias in these statistics around age.

It makes intuitive sense to me that a cancer diagnosed in a young patient, who is below the common screening age, is probably being diagnosed because it is presenting serious symptoms (i.e. is growing fast).

Cancers diagnosed in a 70 year old, on the other hand, would seem much more likely to be diagnosed while they are asymptomatic and relatively contained, or to be cancers that have been growing slowly for a long time (more likely as the 70 year old has been alive longer).

Obviously, I don't know if this is the case or not. If anyone has experience in this field, I'd love to hear about it.
Oh I meant catnip, haha. I think pot definitely has some mild side-effects for sure.

VMware seemed to make a lot of progress refocusing their business under Pat, perhaps he can do something similar for Intel.

My mom was born at an Air Force base in the 1950s. She said she was born silent and unresponsive, and they put her in another room to die, but then she recovered several hours later. That story always struck me as very odd, and heat breaking, but now it makes sense.
They've been working on this for years. I'm not sure RISC-V would have been a viable option when they started.
PfSense Plus will be included free if buying netgate hardware. That's what most vendors will use for customers.
However, I consulted with some businesses that were very strapped for cash in the past, and I used some old hardware with intel NICs, and it was excellent for the price.
Maybe you'll prefer the old promo clip from 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5ULcrBUXT0 Ah, 3:4 aspect ratio, a blast from the past :)
I made my account back in 2014 around when I left high school. Didn't really comment on anything because I didn't know anything. Now (I think?) I know a little bit more and feel comfortable commenting on things. That's just my experience.
You seem to conflate the fact that we're none of us perfect with the assertion we're all deeply flawed. What does "deeply flawed" mean? Hunter S. Thompson was a severely unhappy man with extreme drug problems who shot himself in the head. Unfortunately, people like him aren't particularly uncommon. You've flattened out the landscape of human experience into this, at best, trivial comment that "we're all deeply flawed".

The idea that nearly all "perfect" people are just charlatans is also quite toxic. Is it true that many people try extremely hard to hide their problems? Sure, sounds plausible. But is it also true that the only way someone might appear perfect is by being a "charlatan"? Of course not. For example, maybe not every person's faults are exposed to the interface between that person and your slice of the universe.

I feel a little bit icky slamming on a comment so hard, but I think this flattening out of the human condition is a major negative thread in our culture/society right now.
Common Lisp had something like this for ages in CL-PPCRE library, with the added benefit of not having to monkey with ".end()" and whatnot, because s-expression syntax guarantees you always know what is enclosed by what.

Still, I came to the similar conclusion as you. It's sometimes nice to check a descriptive format if needed (CL-PPCRE can take a "standard" regex and translate it to its tree-based verbose notation), but it's a chore to type that up and it still requires you to understand how the grammar works. It's much easier to work with the standard notation.

And I mean - what's the big problem here? Regexes are so common and so useful that, in my opinion, any self-respecting developer should learn them to the point they feel comfortable with reading and writing them, with a manual on hand. If you want to make it easier to read, just split it up and comment it, be it with 'x' modifier or with string concatenation and your programming language's native comments.
Politely, who the heck would write, much less put in the practice of reciting, a several minutes-long poem for a thinly veiled swipe at a political figure? Amanda could've just spat out a hot take on twitter if she wanted that, same as everyone else who wants to make swipes.
The effect of Gelsinger taking the CEO role pushed a hire that was on the fence into accepting the role. It means he's having an affect already. That's what the title is meant to convey.
The other side, people who you don't agree with.
I think it would be useful to generate a regex - which would then get written down in the code to ensure it doesn't change? You could test it, ensure it works, then just use the output of the neural net...
There are quite a few weasel words/phrases in their statement but I would assume it would be enough air cover for any organization who wanted to do so to be able to claim they believed they had the power to require a shot. And any employee disagreeing would have to go to court--and maybe get a judge's ruling in a year or two after paying a bunch of legal fees. Not very practical for a fast food worker or cashier. And there are precedents for vaccines being required.
The flip side to that is that OSes that are built for specific hardware are only useful so long as that hardware continues to be produced. I don't think we'd have Linux as a useful contender today if it had been locked to a specific company's hardware; there's a reason we're not still using BeOS today for example (Haiku aside).

I'm more excited about things like rump kernels for hardware support across disparate OSes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rump_kernel
Ignoring, for the moment, the questionable morals of pervading an ad-free space with adverts for your own profits: the article could dwell more on the extent to which these companies are burning Substack down for fuel.

It's very mild to say that adverts "risk Substack's funding model". I'd be more dramatic - advertising like this risks Substack's brand reputation, and the subscription incomes of every non-advertising publisher on it; in other words, the existence of the business itself. If I'm paying to get ad-free content, and ads slip in anyways - I'm liable to blame Substack.
You should return it and get a free replacement. It’s clearly defective.
> Clearly no agenda here. Twitter backing an illegitimate US backed tin pot dictator and denying the legitmately elected government a voice.

As far as I can tell, the group you're calling the "legitimately elected government" is that of the tin pot dictator that's run Venezuela into the ground and ran a sham election to cement its power:

https://apnews.com/article/venezuela-congress-socialists-con...:

> Maduro’s allies swept legislative elections last month boycotted by the opposition and denounced as a sham by the U.S., the European Union and several other foreign governments. While the vote was marred by anemically low turnout, it nonetheless seemed to relegate into irrelevancy the U.S.-backed opposition led by lawmaker Juan Guaidó.

The government there bribes voters with food handouts. Think of how bad things must be if you can be bribed with food:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-55211149:

> The government may now be in control of the National Assembly but the low turnout was hardly a "win".

> Sure, there were people who cast their vote, some still clinging to the man in power, others citing their democratic right as well as many more fearful of repercussions like losing food handouts if they didn't.

> But for the most part, there's an atmosphere of resignation. Most Venezuelans I've spoken to this past week saw little point in these elections and decided there were better things to be doing on Sunday.

> The vast queues at petrol stations rather than the polling stations explain what you need to know about politics here - that Venezuelans just want to survive another day and for politics to just go away.
I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt and actually try this so I could show you that you are wrong, but I couldn't even get that far because dpkg always complains it is unable to access the dpkg status area. So clearly this is not as trivial as you make it out to be. I suspect because it expects a full filesystem in $HOME with its status file in the appropriate place. In other words, it is expecting a whole separate installation to be under $HOME.

Regardless, lets assume it did work. Here's what it would do: unpack the package replacing '/' with '$HOME' in the destination paths. That's it. That software will not magically be able to find its associated libraries and configurations without the user mucking with environment variables at best, or chrooting or sandboxing such that $HOME appears to it to be a wholly separate installation.

That's not how sane systems do this sort of thing. I have been trying to do this sort of thing in Linux for pretty much as long as I have been using Linux because I loathe the way Linux installs software, and in 20 years it has never been straight forward. AppImage is a close as we get and software needs to be carefully built and packaged for that.

I didn't down-vote you, but I suspect you've been down-voted because your question doesn't make much sense. A thermocouple is a temperature sensor, in that it transforms a temperature difference into a potential difference (voltage). You might be able to use the built-in ADC to digitize that voltage, but you likely need a sensitive low-noise, low-offset amplifier. For high temperatures (high temperature differences) and low accuracy requirements, you might use the built-in semiconductor temperature sensor as (not quite so) cold-junction reference. Does that answer your question?
Reading all comments grilling MBAs in HN is one of my guilty pleasures. I think I need to collect them all and put them in one place.
There is definitely a need for better technology for start-ups in this space.

Having said this, I don't know what this product does from the website.

We pay ~$80 a month for 2 users to a financial planning application that integrates with our accounts (Xero) and it works well. Our revenue is 7 digits annually.

As a start-up founder, I appreciate what you're trying to do with your model but I kind of like, you know, just knowing the fixed costs regardless of our revenue.
There might be a selective enforcement issue here?

If it turns out that lots of the IP address space is doled out based on semi-fraudulent claims like this (assuming that Guilmette's claim is correct that DDos-Guard doesn't really have a physical Latin American presence), but the only cases where the corresponding NIC takes action is when someone complains for content-motivated reasons, then... that's biased selective enforcement.

In principle, it would be like police enforcing certain traffic laws (say, about changing lanes or making a turn without signaling) much more strictly against black people than against white people.

And selective enforcement at the infrastructure level is much more serious than it happening at the edge level (see https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190712/14400642581/failu... for why this distinction is important).

Even "ten times more" isn't exactly clear in my opinion. 100% more is two times. 900% more is ten times. Ten times more is... eleven times?

I try to say "{x} is ten times {y}", which is, as far as I can tell is unambiguous. (Mostly, what's ten times colder?)

> Who cares? That doesn't matter at all. Other miners will pick up the found block and any node that ignores what they are doing will just unsync themselves and become useless.

What good is a block if no exchange or wallet will accept it (and its coins) as valid? Miners aren't all-powerful entities in a blockchain. In order to have any say at all in the blockchain's behavior (let alone cash out their coins), they (1) need other nodes to recognize their blocks as valid, and (2) need a reliable underlying network to propagate their blocks. If no one accepts a miner's block, or if the block cannot be propagated, then it's the _miner_ that's useless.

Like, this is distributed systems 101 stuff. If your node broadcasts a message, and no one accepts it, then your node is dead for all intents and purposes. If 100% of miners are producing blocks that the rest of the network isn't accepting, then 100% of the miners are effectively dead.

To think of this concretely, what do you think would happen if 100% of Bitcoin miners suddenly stopped honoring Segwit witness data, and started mining blocks that claimed Segwit transaction outputs as their own (which is technically allowed, since they are marked as anyone-can-spend)? Pre-Segwit nodes would accept these blocks (my aforementioned link shows that such nodes exist on the network today), but do you think Segwit-aware nodes would accept them?

Review of the decentralised social ecosystem from bluesky
Why are you confused? "We're not perfect, but we're not trying to be perfect."
Not being able to share Rick and Morty stickers or have a group call is fine to miss out on.

Having to choose from multiple encryption addons to get started even chatting, that's not a comparable experience.

There are things that can be done, especially if the tumor is small and hasn't spread to adjacent organs. I'm not an expert, but in general, solid tumors are much more easily treated if caught early. Still, "watchful waiting" is a totally valid option for early-staged prostate tumors.

That said, the doctor might be trying to benevolently prevent unnecessary tests, stress, and treatment. Some people hear "cancer" and rush into risky treatments. This is part of the reason the United States Preventative Services Task Force "demoted" asymptomatic PSA screening from "recommended" to "have a talk with your doctor." Their review of the studies didn't show that screening asymptomatic men resulted in a large reduction in mortality. Mostly because prostate cancer is so common and often develops slowly. Somewhat because treatment can bring its own dangers.

At first, in 2012, they recommended against it. Then doctors and patients' groups protested, so now it's "have a talk." We are now starting to see the result of that first decision in the increasing incidence of late-staged prostate cancer.

All this is to say: PSA screening's not a bad idea as long as you can keep perspective if it comes back positive. Out of the major cancer types, prostate cancer has one of the highest 5-year net survival rates [0]. It's over 95% in my state[1].

[0] Net survival tries to exclude the risk of death from other causes. So 100% net survival for a cancer diagnosis means there's no difference from a similar person who didn't have cancer.

[1] The official statistic from the CDC may be lower, but I disagree with some adjustments they make. I believe they force the data to fit their mental model.
Eh, "grave vulnerabilities" seems like quite the overstatement to me for a lot of ESP32 use cases.

The described exploit requires physical access to the device PCB and precisely timed fault injection, so it requires moderately sophisticated attacker have the device entirely in their control in relative privacy to even perform.

As I see it, the Secure Boot bypass is thus only really relevant to those concerned about a supply chain attacker replacing the firmware. I don't really know how large the overlap is in the venn diagram of those with legitimate concerns about such things and those buying ESP-powered products though as the ones I'm aware of are pretty much all consumer-tier IoT things.

The ability to decrypt encrypted firmware is of course a different matter, even if it doesn't contain any real "secret sauce" most companies don't want their code to be accessible to competitors and/or cloners. See ELM327 for an example of what can happen there. That said I still wouldn't call it a "grave" vulnerability from the perspective of anyone but corporate IP lawyers, and in general screw them.

From a hobbyist perspective these are both good things because they enable hackers to modify their own devices to improve them.
I think this was one of the goals of Asahi also - to document the process of porting Linux to the new arch.
Why have I heard that it's possible to spread without any symptoms at all? Is that wrong?
Complacency is a huge downside. I'm also much less motivated to work on side projects.

Not to mention the toll on the lungs. Ask Willie Nelson if you'd like anecdata about how that can play out over a lifetime.

I've recently made the leap to edibles exclusively after a stint with a hot-air vaporizer (a la Volcano devices) and I now find the resin smell of smoking incredibly off-putting. The coughing, hacking, and lung stiffness that results from a bong rip even more so.

Doesn't lessen the complacency, but the delay your metabolism introduces can help you get started on projects before it sets in!

The stats of the libraries are essentially the same lib but they renamed it and put it to an organisation. It’s mentioned in the es-dev-server. Same goes for prisma and prisma-2.

Another thing, maybe “trendiness” is a nice metric. Could be based on the amount of stars it receives in a given month. Not sure where to get the data from though. Such metric could show a comparison of what’s in decline and what’s on the rise.
