Gentle Alarm (Android). It doesn’t exist anymore though, the listing and the dev’s site both vanished, and it required manually patching the APK to make it work on Android 10. If someone has a good replacement, I elaborated on my requirements here [0], so far I have found nothing that can replace it :/

But they don't even solve that problem! In both shops that I use (rosebikes.fr and decathlon.fr) stocks are explicitly marked as approximate, with a very visible warning in red when the stock is 2 or 1 items, asking you to call the shop to verify stock. Website is slow as molasses still.
I wouldn't put much weight on Stellantis' opinion for car tech. They're the furthest behind in both ICE and EV technology and innovations. So of course they're going to resist regulations for better anything.
Batteries doen't have hundreds of kilos of hard-to-mine materials. And most of them are recyclable. Lithium isn't hard to mine and there are less than 10kg of lithium in an electric car. The only somewhat rare metal is cobalt, but Tesla is about to switch to cobalt-free chemistries. The rest is just plain steel, aluminum and carbon in various forms.

And note, that hydrogen cars are not lighter than electric cars, so they don't save any resources, not counting for the additional energy required due to the lower efficiencies of the hydrogen production chain.
Knowing Elon he probably already planned on a way to exit the stock in a way that lets him reenter at the correct market valuation.
Waitlist open for (beautiful and) ML-based file and knowledge management
It's practical to restrict yourself to a sound subset of Scala (the soundness issue they mention applies to a specific usage pattern that you can ban with a linter), and the issue is outright fixed in Scala 3.

The undecidability is real but you at least get what you're paying for - a certain amount of type-level programming is practical and useful in Scala. I'm not sure it's the right tradeoff but it's on (or at least close to) the Pareto frontier in a way that many languages aren't.
The sun should dictate when we sleep. Sunrise is nature's alarm clock. Sadly we've messed that up with electric lighting inside and outside.

CadQuery is another library for programming 3d-models in Python. A good alternative to OpenSCAD. Has integration in FreeCAD but can also be used stand-alone.
Yeah that’s really not OK. Though in some countries that number isn’t sensitive by itself, asking for it to sign a petition is incredibly creepy.

If you select Netherlands they’re at least informed enough to not ask for the Dutch equivalent, the BSN. It would be against the law for them to ask, process or store it.
That would be larping. Not cosplaying. I disavow both.
How is this any different to a welfare state, then?
Same with dark pattern around mail notifications. I left it there.
endemic (adjective): regularly found among particular people or in a certain area.

I'd say tracking pixels are regularly found in the area of email.
Of course, it's like signing for bank account. It's not because of the crypto itself, but the standard money/forex part.
Contrast isn't the only indicator of readability. The font choice here is IMHO terrible for screen. It's much too thin.

Taking this to the logical extreme - just for fun - imagine a the perfect contrast score of Vantablack™ on Spectralon white. It wouldn't matter if the typeface stroke widths were only a micron wide. It would still be unreadable.
Thanks, that number did seem a little off to me :)

How to write a polyglot FaaS in Node.js with less than 100LoC
I bought some crypto on one of the local_x sites and the guy made me write _by hand_ a letter about my ID being real. A "do you want the money or not" conversation ensued.
Wow! Gemany...I haven’t heard that in a long time. Still some of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life come from that forum.
Check out Dotty and some of the papers on DOT calculus. Sorry, on mobile or I'd link you. Scala 3 has some different fundamentals. I don't think it's all the way sound like idris, but there's a lot of new rules underneath the hood to have types be much safer.

I hate Scala, but I gotta admit the future of it looks a little promising if they nail the transition
It was all paper money, he made the right call most likely because if he stuck around there’s no saying when he would’ve gotten out and it’s possible he woulda been bitten by the bubble imploding.

Am I the only one who sees this as another giant scam, so politicians and their friends can get rich? Is there an overwhelming demand for rail travel between Boston and New York? Did you know there are zero government rail systems that have ever shown a profit? NYC subway system is the most efficient in the world, yet prices cannot cover 50% of OPERATING COSTS, much less upgrades, etc. $105 billion is just the beginning for this boondoggle...guess whose taxes will pay the bill.
Where I am, I'd be asleep 14 hours a day.

I don't think that is sustainable.

For a start I don't actually want to sleep that much. Nor do I think I could.
That works for latitudes near the equator were the day duration is more or less constant. For higher/lower latitudes daylight changes vastly during the year. How do you cope with that?
We are at a point where it becomes less and less relevant. There are electric cars with 600 to 800 km range already which recharge very quickly. And the development isn't going to stop any time soon. Why even consider a complex hybrid solution, when you can just get a bigger and faster charging battery?

We are already at a point where you can recharge an electric car faster than the driver needs for finishing food and coffee :)
China plans to put children off studying abroad
Last I checked some years back, in GMail an e-mail with a "footer.jpg?user@gmail.com" img tag will only load that URL when the user views the e-mail.
That’s interesting - I looked at what was required for my country of nationality and my country of residence, and neither asked for the national ID number. They still wanted the full street address, but no ID number.

Any idea why they would treat Poland differently? Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria all also seems to ask for a document number and not an address.
A lot of people are down on hybrids but they look like a good interim solution to me. We can't make enough batteries to electrify everything right now but we can eliminate a ton of emissions with plugins.

If I look at our usage patterns most of the year we are making short journeys, 20 miles or less. Then occasionally we will take the car on holiday. We could easily eliminate the majority of our car's emissions with a plugin hybrid.
WebXR: Virtual Reality on the Web
It's a bit complicated to compare the fees of a company like IKEA to the fees of small local companies, in that business sector I'm willing to guess there's a large fraction of non-tax-paying companies with worker unions non-existant etc.

IKEAs online experience is glossy but horribly non-functional, agreed :/ Had that experience in Sweden as well. There is simply no way to buy something which isn't in stock in the local warehouse either, their support actually told me to "try to buy it every day".
Synthetic fuels will likely always be more expensive than traditional fuel has been. It’s also not going to be “greener” than other ways to power a car. However, there will also likely always be a market for it from car collectors and enthusiasts. It makes sense the Porsche would be producing this even if it isn’t a cheap, green energy source. It wouldn’t surprise me if this sort of fuel is sold at the Nürburgring in 5-10 years.
There is what people that have vacation homes do in the winter, shut off the water and drain the water heater and pipes.
That's not really true in my experience, I've had some issues with quotas being displayed incorrectly on my completely free account recently and got an answer within a few hours, saying that they reset the tracking and relayed a bug report to the team. I honestly think that for now, you can still depend on them to do their due diligence with support.
The irony of all of this is that stackoverflow works just fine 95% of the time.

Your entire argument is that the goal of spending money on space exploration is to spend more money on space exploration? For people suffering on earth that’s a great argument for defunding taxpayer funded space exploration.
I am not sure why you got downvoted, this is a good backup strategy.

I have natural gas heating and a combi smart boiler which runs on electricity. Even if I still have the gas link operational, if my power goes down then my heating is dead.

This news of Texas actually reminded, that I should have some sort of emergency winter heating backup, and a boat or camping kerosene heater is a actually a pretty solid idea for emergencies.
Writing itself is a little older, but not much. But writing is one of the first information technologies (that we have records of ;).

Theory: the people who thought this was spam have never done any GPU programming.

Normal programming often can be kind of "figured out" piecemeal, most often even complex APIs can be figured out with a small introduction and some examples. Graphics is much more conceptually heavy. If you don't know the basics, you will be flailing. IMO that makes posting a link to a basic tutorial a very good thing when it's clear the user is flailing. Even if they get this one thing working, it's not reallyhelpong if they still don't "get it".

It was the gamification that got me: watching that score grow, and getting reward tags.. But at some point I just got "saturated" by it and quit cold turkey.
I thought so as well, which is why I was eager to share this article!

When I read it, I realized I yearn for that style of teaching. Comparing this style of teaching to my own experiences in education, I really feel like I missed out.
Honestly, if people get what they want and a lot of tracking is stopped they'll probably find the quality of their internet experience reduced. There are lot of things companies do that privacy people dislike but is only there to improve user experience.

In the end, they just put a dedicated coprocessor directly with their memory chip. They named it AI because buzzword and marketing bullshit...
It's solid technology to be excited about.

For example. Graphical programming languages are nowhere. Closest I had was either VHDL or backed by copious amounts of XML like Xtend. And both of those have a textual Component as well.
Not much; people live with it. Revolutions happen when people see an improvement in their living standards halt or go into reverse. Invoking a past golden age is reactionary in effect if not in intent.

Inlining is something I would think also eliminates stack frames. So a comparison between an optimization that gets rid of a complicated stack frame and a compiler that has inlining turned off isn't something I would consider ideal.
I've sent you an email to your predict salary address. Thank you :)
This is because they are using an EU petition (European Citizens' Initiative -> ECI) system that will submit the petition to EU athorita and will only count signatures from people who live in the EU state.
It's not any different. If by "welfare state" you mean "a decent social safety net". Which the USA should definitely have.

I'm not sure, but I guess in some countries there is law against asking for certain personal information.
Went through this at RadioShack back in 2000.
Dropping the catalog was a huge negative.

* online store made browsing a lot harder
* employees used the catalog constantly to look up requested items.
* we would turn away several people a day who came in asking for catalog.
* customers loved browsing the catalog
* lots of older customers that weren’t ready to transition.

Part of it was that “kiosk” were crap.

So employees had a harder time looking items up.
Two can play that game.

The owners of Bitcoin would just fork and switch to a different algorithm, ruining the value of existing mining hardware.
Counter-anecdote: I’ve heard of people saying this, but never experienced it, except for the Daily UI mailing list that I once signed up for and received one email, but no more—until over a year later I tried loading remote images on that first email, then it switched to the daily progression.
Seemingly? Windows 10 came out 5 years ago. They were upfront about it becoming Software as a Service.

And with companies and people using XP and 7 many years after support had ended or forcing them to continue supporting their old platforms it wasn't surprising.

Btw the bug occurs when accessing a special NTFS directory which marked the filesystem as dirty and chkdisk would fail to fix and breaks the system.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/windows-10-bu...

But here's the thing. Microsoft sends all that tracking data because that's how they find their bugs.
They downscaled their in house testing and have enthusiast beta testers running pre release builds.

So without telemetry how do they discover these edge case bugs?
That would be a surprisingly reasonable solution for scenarios where you couldn't recharge at your destination. A generator always runs at peak efficiency, which is easily twice of the average efficiency of a plain ICE car, so even after the losses at charging the electric car wouldn't be much worse than the ICE car. And you would use it when there are no alternatives.

If you go on a longer camping trip, you should just pack a bunch of solar cells :)

I would like to add that text, as a thousand-years-old-technology, has always included illustration too. Even in recent/digital text, you have this bird that doesn't take 4k bytes: [edit: unfortunately hackernews doesn't display the unicode character U+1F426]

Text is very powerful, but it doesn't need to always work by itself (arguably works best together with other media)
How would you have an effective petition in the EU without verifying that petitioners are EU citizens? Then this petition would be reduced to a singular PR push.
> Seems like nothing of value would be lost?

That would depend on the newsletter. Some newsletter provide lots of value for those wanting to keep up to date with minimum effort.

It could also be a newsletter you need to monitor for work purposes.

> They don't actually care if you read or enjoy their content, you are either one of the users who increase their opening and click rates, or you're a useless burden to them.

No they care more that you don't reduce their deliverability rate and that is affected by email service providers deciding if you're not opening the email you're not interested, not reading and enjoying the content and therefore and don't want the content.

I'm not sure what other options work out better though. BTC is now only mineable by large groups with tons of hardware, which seems less fair to me. At least with the faucet approach everyone was equal in terms of what they could acquire.

Personally I didn't use it anyway, I just traded for the coin like anything else.
I tried to fill it out in Firefox, and the "hcaptcha" field says "rate limited or network error. please retry". When I click "support" it says "sorry, we couldn't save your signature! The techies have been informed."

It's a pity, I support the initiative, but I fear they might get far fewer signatures as people who are willing to sign. Maybe their captcha service has decided not to support the initiative?
I meant screen sharing on Teams, webex, zoom, etc
>Of course, it's like signing for bank account.

with the difference that the bank is relatively trusted entity backed by shitton of formality

I think this is an official petition, so, there are legal requirements to identify yourself as a citizen of an EU country.

Depending of your country they ask for different data. For instance, for Finland they ask the physical address but for Belgium only the national ID number. I suppose that there is not such number in Finland or it's illegal to ask for it.

There is a link in the form to the relevant regulation. So, the website looks legit. Of course, that doesn't mean that it's legit but my gut feeling it's that they are.
One rude asshole on SO convinced me to stop answering questions: g00glen00b.
It depends on how fondly you look back at that time and if you have academic inclinations/had strong academic inclinations before you went to college (especially if your family has them).

Plus I'd imagine it depends a lot on the intensity of the college studies. I'd imagine folks going to MIT would remember more stuff than people at a random community college.

Besides what the other folks are saying regarding jogging your memory.
Any time I have tried to use Windows 10, I have been put off by the inexplicable input lag. I touch the trackpad, then a few hundred ms later the cursor moves. It feels like wading through treacle.

This is a fresh install on a Thinkpad X1 Extreme, I can only assume that this is close to the optimal user experience. I don't know how people can tolerate it.
Read receipts are generally something the recipient agrees to and are visible to both parties or none. A tracking pixel is secretive and the recipient gets no benefit or choice. Very different implementations.
If they're successful with this fast, it will likely stop the advance of electric cars. If the average Joe could basically stick to their current life style but with a clean CO2 balance, I think this option has a good chance to prevail.
Don’t understand the downvotes. I block all the images by default so I assume I’ve been a
victim of such a “best practice”. Also with hey.com auto blocking spy pixels I just don’t see how this is still a best practice

I understand your concerns and where you are coming from, but the privacy policy is refreshingly transparent, readable and clear: https://reclaimyourface.eu/privacy-policy/

Some key facts:

- "ECI signatories: your full first and last names, country of residence and date of signature. Depending on the signatory’s nationality, we will also collect a combination of the following data: residence (street, number, postal code, city, country), date of birth, national identity document type and national identity document number." This seems to indicate that the data requested is dependant on the country you live in. So blaming the organization is a bit unfair.

- "Your data will be stored by the group of organisers for a maximum retention period of one month after the submission of the initiative to the European Commission or 21 months after the beginning of the collection period, whichever is the earlier. It might be retained beyond these time limits in the case of administrative or legal proceedings, for a maximum of one month after the date of conclusion of these proceedings." They will remove your data whatever happens.

I've signed the petition and handed over my the equivalent of PESEL. I did that because I understand that if we want to enact change we have to be more than a signature on an online form, we have to be a living breathing person and not just another email-address in a database. They can sweep gme_diamondhands_6969@whatever.com under the rug rather easily but along with data that proves that I'm a citizen that becomes much harder to do.

Is there a trick to choose whether or not to use the sqliterc file? I work on a pretty bad project that does database migration using thousands of lines of bash code that feeds queries to the sqlite3 commandline utility. For that one I'd like it to not read .sqliterc, but for my own use (on the same system) I'd like some of those options enabled.
Thanks for replying to the question i meant to ask! I will check those blocklist!
