Often in US cities with otherwise unrestricted street parking, there is a time limit/number of days before a vehicle is considered "abandoned" and ticketed or towed. So even if you don't need to drive your car, you need to move it periodically (partially to demonstrate that the vehicle is operational).

In my city street parking is free but time restricted. Downtown streets have 2 or 4 hour parking limits, and street parking is not allowed between 2AM and 5AM. I like not having to worry about meters but it's always a pain to wake up in the middle of the night and remember I forgot to put my car in the driveway.
It would be nice if it did inline images, inline web-previews, inline video players, etc, if not by default, then with clear path to enabling.
I don't think it does, assuming the passed len is correct.
Except many end up installing VB.NET and using Office COM Automation instead.

Following the below diet changed my life for the better. Like night and day. I was able to get back into the software industry. I remember the summer that I started it, literally every week I felt like I was 10% smarter. And I also was regaining memories that I had completely lost prior to that. Kind of surreal.

> My point was that this seems like basic application of simple concepts from Computer Science

I'm not sure that differential dataflow is that simple as I haven't checked the paper nor the repository—according to other replies, it isn't—but if it were, that's all the more reason to use a library/tool instead of reimplementing something for the thousandth time, I think.
That was great. Thanks for sharing. The submitted patch and the linked dupe are pretty great too.
Ok, I was not explicit enough on my question. The benefit of low effort deployments is very visible.

What benefit does have a computer deciding that a version of the software is ready to deploy instead of the developer pressing a button when he thinks the software is ready to deploy?
The response from Intel seems to be betting on the Evo platform [1], with third parties announcing laptops like the XPG Xenia XE

The effort involved in using public chargers as your only/primary source is pretty high. It's not a quick detour, but something you need to plan your day around (plan to spend a while at a store near the charge, etc). And then you may get there and find out someone has beaten you to it. With just three people in line, each charging for 45m, that's a >2h wait! IMO you have to be really committed and highly value the fact that your car is electric, to put up with this.
It's surprisingly easier to derive this from first principles than most people think. All clothes undergo a fairly predictable set of stresses and the design solutions for these stresses are mature enough that they lie pretty close to the efficiency frontier for price/performance.

Basically, if you know what you need to look for in terms of material selection, stitching, hem design and tolerances, you can pretty quickly evaluate the design life of clothing and then compare it to the price.

There's many guides out there that tell you what to look for as a final result but I haven't seen a good guide break it down to fundamental material science but the back derivation is not especially difficult.
Yeah, Trillian was, by far, most common among the general public (the non-programming, non-techy types). Honestly, Pidgin was pretty niche, I don't know of any non-techies that used it.
I think you're really sleeping on the benefits of being able to spin up and change an environment easily.

Its easy to load a container with some stored test state. Its easy to load a completely fresh environment. Its easy to run multiple instances of things (with docker compose).

Its easy to totally shutdown the environment.

Its easy to work on different branches with different/conflicting dependencies and juggle containers.
That's marked as being Asan-specific, and the bug isn't. So... I don't think so?
I had the same thought. But perhaps women see a different color as salmon that was not shown in the survey.
I don't think anyone is genius in any field by birth. Yes, one can have some biological traits but those are mostly related to having a properly functioning brain. Then, with long, sincere effort and right environment starting early in life, one eventually attains the mastery in the given field.

I read this book 'The Children of Tomorrow' [0] in which the author has mentioned about a couple Laszlo Polgar (a psychologist) and Klara who intentionally and carefully planned making their children genius chess players. The result:

> Their first daughter Susan Polgar won her first Under-11 chess tournament at age four. At twelve, she won the World (Girls) Under-16 championship. At fifteen, she became the top-rated female chess player in the world. Going through the conventional Grandmaster (GM) norms applicable to men, she became a chess grandmaster at the age of twenty-two. In 1996, twenty-seven-year-old Susan Polgar was crowned the women’s chess champion.

> their second daughter Sofia who, at the age of eleven, became a world Under-14 girls chess champion.

> their youngest daughter, Judit, who
At age twelve, had thirty-five more points in FIDE rating (world chess rating) than the erstwhile world women chess champion. At age fifteen, she became the youngest chess grandmaster, far ahead of any male chess grandmaster throughout the history of the game. Judit is generally considered the strongest female chess player of all time. At age ten, she not only took on chess grandmaster Lev Gutman, but also won against him.

> All three daughters were home-schooled by Klara with a specialization in chess. They figured a long time ago – as an increasing number of parents are discovering today – that there was little sense in sending their children to a traditional school where regard for individual growth and understanding the temperament of each child was negligible. By the time most children come back home from school in the afternoon, they are tired and a whole day seems gone. To expect that they would then pursue intensive training in anything else at all is neither practical nor reasonable.

Brilliant or bananas, what do you think?

The problem it solves for me is when there's
a story that 100 people have written about, and
I want to find the best one to share, which almost
always is one without ads.

Google is very broken for this use case, because
they seem to prioritize sites with ads.
There is a definition by OSI who invented the term as a commercial-sounding touch to free software as defined by the FSF. OSI also certifies licenses as compliant with the definition. They also invented the term and the definition.

So I wholly disagree on the vagueness and nonexistence of a definition. There are some minor points where people sometimes argue bitterly, e.g. in the differences between DFSG free and OSS. But overall, there is a consensus that has been established decades ago. Just some players nowadays want to muddy the waters with some lies about there being doubt for their own purposes. Which is what the article is writing about.
the ability to remove someone else's brand from my computer and replace it with my own.

In Windows 2000 and earlier, before system file protection, it was possible to use a resource editor and/or a specially crafted BMP file to change system icons, boot animations, start menu imagery, login screen, etc. With a hex editor you could change any UI text, too. I had a heavily customized W2K alongside my heavily customized Linux (even started working on my own graphical boot animations and graphical login for the text console as part of a media-focused distro project I had joined).
The Sony kit lens is far worse than those other lenses though. How do they get a zoom with OIS for 99$? Skimping on the optics...
'Success' in life is something completely different from 'success' in academia.

The later probably requires one to be quite intelligent, the former, not necessarily, it'd be just one of many advantages.

Throw in the creativity and propensity to think or daydream, frankly I don't know how many professors could do anything else with their lives. We all know profs who literally would put ties on backwards.
At the end he was talking about changing the rules on effluents. I guess I just doing understand what he is trying to say.
Good optics need physical space that a super flat screen doesn't have (in depth). My Macbook screen is like 1/4th of the depth of my iPhone
> It doesn't matter whether we have a worst case or not. They claim two memory accesses per character.

Yes, a worst case of two memory accesses per character. This is obvious, no?

When people analyze algorithm runtime it is not always explicitly stated whether the author is doing worst-case or average-case analysis. So, as a reader, you sometimes have to figure it out.
I learned a lot from this rather extensive comment, thank you.
My first car was a manual 316i wagon. There definitely wasn't a premium back then unless you compared it to a ratty Corolla.
I don’t need my colleagues to keep count of the pimples on my face.

Webcams are welcome to stagnate.
By "Wireless", which specific protocol do you mean?
With document DBs you still have "schemas", they just won't be explicit at the database layer. If you rename a field your app uses, you will end up having to either rename that field in every document, or punt on migrating and instead ensure that your app can handle either field name when reading.

While the latter may sound easier (and often is easier when you're starting out and iterating quickly), you will soon start to feel the pain of managing dozens of different versions of your "schema" at the app layer. I've always found it easier to only have to deal with a single schema at a time in any situation where you can't just regenerate all records on the fly, like a cache, and for which you don't care about what the specific schema was at a point in time.

If you actually do care about what the schema was at any point in time at the app layer, your app WILL need to account for any version of the data—but if you need this you're accepting the tradeoffs of the additional complexity.

Definitely more nuanced than "no migrations = easier" though.
I suspect a lot of us are in video conferences that perhaps don't require our full attention. It is very hard to be in VR and quietly code on the side.
I for one appreciate learning about the accessibility issues. It's something to keep in mind if I ever wanted to rely on my personal repo for a project shared with other people, and it's an aspect I cannot easily test myself, and generally don't think of testing myself until it's I've already committed myself to a particular solution.
I posted my add-on in Heroku Marketplace over a year ago https://elements.heroku.com/addons/knapsack-pro and did not see much organic leads from the marketplace itself.

Anyone using Heroku Marketplace as well? Any ideas how did you approach promoting your add-on? Thanks.
I know that there are a number of projects to put charging stations in streetlight poles. Even if, for cost reasons, this is just L1 charging, this can accommodate many people's needs, particularly in Europe, where due to the higher voltage, L1 is 3.6kW.
It's the same company. Polestar is entirely owned by Volvo. Many of the components are the same. It's just a different brand and badge that's applied to some models.

I didn't say Toyota didn't have happy customers. Tesla's Model 3 received the top customer satisfaction score in each of the four age ranges in Consumer Reports survey of 420,000 drivers. [1]

A Tesla Model 3 after 3/5 years has a residual value of 77.47%/58.96%/45.35%(est), versus for example a BMW 3 Series after 3/5/7 years with a residual of 61.56%/41.71%/34.15%. [2, 3]

And the apt comparison for margins is gross margins not operating margins. Operating Margins will be higher for a stagnant company conversing cash versus a rapidly growing company. Gross margins show you how much they are earning per unit sale, regardless of how much of their profit they are re-investing in future growth.

Tesla automotive gross margins in Q3 were 27.7% versus Toyota gross margins of 18.1%. [4, 5]

Thanks for sharing that. It is indeed really hard - and as startup founders, we understand! Just wanted to clarify that many of our engineers do want to work on startups with interesting missions… what matters most ultimately to them (and to us) is the team they’ll work with and the experience they'll get.

Laila is personally meeting with all of our potential new partners because we really care about understanding your customers’ needs & making sure that our solution addresses them. Will be interesting for you to discuss this with her. (Assuming you booked a call? You should have received an invite after you filled out the form.)

Wait...isn't cordyceps the fungus that takes over ants, bursts out of their skull, and then cause them to effect others? That sounds like something I'd run away from at full speed.
I am author of this post. Let me know if I can answer any question related to the post.
People often mistake the way factor's play together: more tranmittible means more deadly and more cases means more deaths (a lot more if health systems are overwhelmed).

It's also entirely normal for viruses to become more transmissible, to have later symptom onset and to less deadly over time since those factors all make it more likely to spread.
A huge blogpost just to rant that neither OSI nor a large part of the public think that the license he likes to use to discriminate across lines of businesses could be labeled "Open Source".

Just call your thing "source available" or make up your own special club and stop complaining you don't get the same treatment than licenses that don't discriminate people.

Or you know, decide who has to/doesn't have to share code without caring about what the product that's building upon your software is about or who's building it. Like the rest of us who actually care about Open Source beyond using it as a PR tool for your business.
I think the article does a very good job of showing why even professional studio lights can't help a bad webcam - especially Logitechs.
The problem I see with these bans are that governments are subject to the voters and many voters have cars.
There's so many of these but all are in "early access" phase...seems like they haven't figured out how to do iMessages integration and it's just a nicely designed UI with no real product.
The "Open Source Definition"[0] published by the Open Source Initiative[1] on the opensource.org website, written by the people who pretty much coined the term in the late '90s, isn't definitive or specific enough for you?

It depends on the type of music.
Music with lyrics (like mentioned in the article) is very distracting for me, but some types of instrumental music (like videogame soundtracks) work very well.
> less good documentation but great performance/$

Truth couldn't be far from that. Its completely the opposite - ESP32 toolchain and docs are superb: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/

And there is ESP32.net: http://esp32.net/
My comment was basically (paraphrasing here) "given that my understanding of the problem is it that it can be pulled off using simple constructs X and Y, seems like most people wouldn't need to pull in framework Z".

It's puzzling to me why you _wouldn't_ want to "pull rank", as you say. I did not pretend to be an expert in this domain. I'm really just exposing my knowledge and speculating about why people apparently aren't using this framework, which is what the damn submission is about. Did you even read it?

It seems like I managed to piss off a bunch users of the framework, who - rather than simply explain in clear terms why I'm supposedly wrong - instead just downvote away and make passive-aggressive comments that assume I'm some sort of troll.

Remind me to never engage with the Rust community again. Jfc.

Edit: Oh, so you're the creator of the framework? If you go straight to calling people toxic when they have questions about it, I think I understand why no one wants to use it.
Weird, I had no issues with the built in display on Ubuntu 20.04, but I had to update the kernel to 5.8 to get display out over USB-C to work. Now that Ubuntu 20.10 is out and uses 5.8, I'm just using that so I don't have to mess with custom, unsigned kernels.
I was under the impression that dynamic microphones are much more suitable for non-studio settings, where echoes and other noises happen, as well as for regular speech, not music (and that they are actually used on radio stations). And XLR dynamic ones can be connected to a computer even with just an XLR-to-TRRS cable, not requiring phantom power. Or a proper audio interface if one wishes to, not something built into a microphone. Do you have any experience with those, and/or reasons to prefer condenser microphones for speech?
Gotcha. Sounds like an interesting life. :)
New website looks cool, however I shall rant once again - I spent quite a bit of time searching for some screenshots of the application as well as an "about" section describing what it is, only to find some of it on the old website.

It's cool to do a refresh but please bring the screenshots back and write a bit more about it on the about page - it's empty right now!
Yeah, that's one of the main benefits of having a car for me, spontaneity. I drive 2/3 miles for climbing, hiking and skiing, only about 1/3 for work.

And I would miss out on a lot of outdoor sports if it wasn't a "sunk cost".

I do think hybrids are kind of the ideal trade off until we have much much better infrastructure and battery technology.

1) You can go electric to work/shopping/city, and only switch to gasoline when you go out of town.
2) you don't need to spend 10k for a new battery when it's gone bad.
3) you don't need to be scared about finding a place to charge.
Does it? I'm interested in radical internet models. I worry that without net neutrality we're on a gradual slippery slope towards an internet whose "slow lane" goes away entirely and I have to apply for a permit so that my IPFS node can be appropriately prioritized.
I used to use it, the later telepathy/empathy stuff on Gnome as well. At some point I started using Facebook, and it obviated the need for a chat client running all the time. Work places seem to be enamored with Slack these days.

Bummer, can't even remember my old logins. Not ICQ nor MSN, Jabber on Facebook doesn't work any longer, might be able to figure out the Yahoo, hmm.
I guess they're all downvoting OP for not choosing living in a house, routing another 240V line in the garage and adding on solar panels and taking electric car ownership seriously. /s

But seriously, it's a problem. If you're not lucky enough to have free charging at work it's something like $1 to $2 per kWh at charging stations, which results in costing as much or more per mile than an ICE.
There is a general purpose computer under there but most people don't interact with it like that. The fact that it can does not mean that it will.

A lot of this has to do with the ecosystem and how a device is presented and what the UX is like. Manufacturers increasingly want to lock things down and hide them away.

I agree that this trend should be fought.
Alphabet shutting Loon, which used balloon alternative to cell towers
I used Digsby for so long, once they stopped developing was about the time I moved off those chat clients to Skype.

Meebo too, back in high school we'd play cat and mouse with Meebo Repeater, and a few other fun sites (an image board for our school, a really rough freeware proxy) with the IT guys. All run out of old pcs we had in our closests. Highlight was when they redirected the free url we were using to Barney.com
Mostly agreed but in the case of Elastic against Amazon that would not have helped much.

Amazon has no issues contributing back and could probably cope with AGPL. They don't need a advantage in features, they can just destroy any competition with their market advantages.

So AGPL is a good first step but maybe we need even stricter license against monopolistic corporations.
Definitely. Most of the time I'm pretty sharp, although I definitely have days where I basically can't get anything done. I have just started using Anki to great effect (preparing for programming interviews is a nightmare if your brain is a sieve).

Since I know that my symptoms are almost entirely caused by diet, I have written down everything that I've eaten, every supplement that I've taken, every hour that I've slept, every noise or pain I feel in my stomach, and information about all of my bowel movements since 2017.

I thought I had things under control last year, and didn't take any notes for 2 months. Now I have an issue with H2S bacterial overgrowth, essentially a sulfur sensitivity. "If it can be measured, it can be managed."

The fact that I moved to Europe in October to avoid the pandemic and election nonsense, hasn't helped me. There are tons of supplements and tests that I would be able to get in the states that are simply unavailable in the country that I'm residing in. Pretty frustrating, and tbh, I can't wait to get back, hopefully late spring/summer.
Tucows killed the goose that laid the golden egg with that change to shady downloaders and never fully recovered or were trusted again by a large majority of ex-users.

Still - at least Tucows left up their mia-culpa (entitled "Tucows Cuts the Crap") https://tucows.com/blog/2016/05/03/tucows-cuts-the-crap/
I've done a few "smart-home"-type projects.

One of them is an e-ink display outside my office door that either displays today's date, or a warning sign stating that I'm in a meeting.

The warning is triggered by a switch on another microcontroller that sits on my desk (an M5 Stack, so it has a nice enclosure & screen).
That is not open source vis-à-vis closed source; that is copyleft vis-à-vis permissive both of which are open source.
All these messaging startups are really dug in on the idea that nobody uses SMS. I guess that's fine depending on which bubble you live in, but the company who cracks that case stands to gain a lot. And yes, I know there are parts of the world who never use SMS. There are other large parts who do and they have money too.
There's a lot of discussion of "inflammation" in this thread, but does this mean anything other than "feeling bad" in practice? It seems C-reactive protein (CRP) is the main biomarker for inflammation. Do people get tested for CRP to diagnose their triggers? I don't think I've ever been tested for it. Will a typical GP give you a CRP test if you ask for one?
I wish he would track washes as well. Washing is much harder on a shirt than wearing and shirts definitely don't need to be washed after every wearing.
Any chance that it is publicly available? What platform is it on?
I'm not sure I understand what he means by batching by function.

Is it dividing by work type (eg coding, responding emails, writing documents, etc) and doing all the tasks in one type before going to the next?
