What lead[sic] me to introduce it was, of course, your statement that "Texas's separate grid dates back decades". The reason why I untroduced it, of course, was that that it explains why the statement of yours that I just quoted is utterly irrelevant to an analysis of what has recently happened, and, more specifically, is utterly irrelevant to the post of mine that you were replying to.

And do I really need to explain to you how it shows that your comment is irrelevant? I suppose I do, given that we are here. It is just this: since the beginning of Texas' grid (as you say, decades ago - almost a century) there has been plenty of opportunity for Texas to make not just its grid, but its entire energy infrastructure, more resilient. Far from my case being one of recency bias, the reality is that your reply to it suffers from the opposite fallacy - a fallacy so obviously wrong that it may not occur often enough to have a recognized name.

We know some of the philosophers mentioned in the article, but pinpointing the origin of mythology is pretty much impossible. Most mythology is itself just earlier mythology that people adapted.

Knowing whether a vulnerable version is somewhere in your dependency tree, and making sure it gets fixed, is absolutely being done and being made part of CI etc. (I don't know about Rust/Go specifically, but the JVM ecosystem is the subject of similar complaints and we're absolutely doing vunerable dependency scanning and also things like "edge builds" where we bump every transitive dependency to the latest version and see if anything breaks). Nowadays Github itself will give you an alert without you even needing to do anything.

Frankly, most distribution maintainers seem to not know or care about how upstream software is built; they have an idea about what's "best practice" in the handful of languages they're using to build their distribution (which is mostly, like, C and Perl) and insist that they know best, without realising the rest of the world has passed them by.
I've recently upgraded to mojave from el capitan and i must say i hate it.
How long they are going make us fool? These theories have been around a long time now and yet there is no concrete evidence supporting them. If extra terrestrial things wants to contact us or confront us, they would have done it long time ago.
Because Best Buy realized they were going to be killed by Amazon and adapted, adding things like price match and more vendor support stuff (like the Samsung store within store thing). If you didn’t and didn’t sell staples (like groceries, where it’s difficult for Amazon to compete), it’s been a rough go of it for big box retailers.

You could buy practically anything at Fry's! I wonder if they'll have a going-out-of-business sale and sell off all those old dusty Miner 49er and donkey mannequins.
There were a couple of games released in Japan that got the HDD support stripped out in the North American release. Two such examples are Star Ocean 3 and Xenosaga.
So for example, I've been insulted online. However, I've never had anyone persistently follow me around, even after I've taken explicit actions to evade them. The only people I know to which that has happened are women.

That comports with the article I cited…

> In seven days as “Eric Lu”, I got only one rude-ish message, and it was less severe or personal than comments I’d gotten before.

> I switched our message avatar from Eric to "Rachel," and immediately - less than one hour in after changing the photo - the heckling and name-calling resumed:

…and your study…

> Men experience more name-calling and physical threats, while women are more likely to experience sexual harassment (Pew Research Center, 2014; Powell & Henry, 2015). Pew Research Center (2014) additionally finds that young women experience certain severe forms of harassment at disproportionally high levels.

…and mine…

> In terms of specific experiences, men (30%) are modestly more likely than women (23%) to have been called offensive names online or to have received physical threats (12% vs. 8%).

> By contrast, women – and especially young women – encounter sexualized forms of abuse at much higher rates than men. Some 21% of women ages 18 to 29 report being sexually harassed online, a figure that is more than double the share among men in the same age group (9%). In addition, roughly half (53%) of young women ages 18 to 29 say that someone has sent them explicit images they did not ask for. For many women, online harassment leaves a strong impression: 35% of women who have experienced any type of online harassment describe their most recent incident as either extremely or very upsetting, about twice the share among men (16%).

Maybe "harassment" is too vague a word. It takes a big umbrella to cover both "offensive name-calling" and "stalking". But it's very weird to take the percentage of men vs. women who received any kind of online vitriol — regardless of the type or severity — and use that number as a proxy for the entire problem. Kind of like saying "more people each year get paper cuts than die in car crashes, so we should prioritize paper cut protection over auto safety."
> Edit. Just caught myself say "parroting". That's one of those needlessly contentious or offensive words.

It might be needlessly contentious or offensive, but not in the exact same way that the original post is talking about: although it's an insult, it doesn't signal an affiliation, and it isn't hard to understand properly without a lot of background or explanation. (You might signal an affiliation through your choice of whom you compare to parrots, or which ideas or concepts you compare to their squawks, but every audience will probably easily understand correctly what you meant by doing it!)

I can relate. Similarly, I ensure I put some time into my side-project on a daily basis, but don't coerce myself into very narrowed down optimal path. Once I gain momentum, I have easier time tackling the not-most-fun "shoulds".

Is it possible this thing is like a cigar with a propeller rotates around the cigar so that you don't actually see there being a propeller because it's rotating? And somehow computer control maintains level flight, or maybe it's multiple propellers around the axis of the cigar.

Alternate theory: Boeing wheels one of these things out to buzz commercial aircraft and airports every time they have some sort of mishap as a PR diversion.
But I don't want to buy and sell into a cooperative. I can't pool my money, I have none beyond my paycheck. I want to rent a place. I need landlords for that.

I've heard stories about cooperatives in NYC and the bureaucracy can be a negative. It sounds like an HOA or condo board.
Me also. I'm holding off because if I upgrade my scanner driver will be obsoleted and I'll have to buy a new scanner. I hate throwing away perfectly good hardware. When I have the time I'll try to set up a scanner station using a Raspberry Pi and some FOSS software to drive the scanner.

No. But with respect to how Google News and Faceook use "news" to support their respective rackets, I think this is different from the example of HN. For one, HN is not trying to compete for advertiser payments with every website that gets submitted. "Commercial" in the sense I am using it means deriving revenue from the use of news. Perhaps HN does that somehow but to support its VC business but that seems a poor comparison to the likes of Google/Facebook. Big difference between Google News and HN, or a Facebook "news feed" and HN.
The way they exaggerated the Capitol incident is down right delirious and begs for a lot of questions:

* The QAnnon conspiracy is clearly a very sophisticated psy-ops; Who was behind it? What Peolosi, the FBI and DC security knew about it and the events who were organized on Facebook?

* Who would knowingly benefit from invading the Capitol?

* Who actually benefited from invading the Capitol and for who was it detrimental?

* Why the security was lowered for the Capitol during the Inauguration?

* Why are there multiple video evidence of police officers letting people in?

* If it was crystal clear that Trump incited the so called "riots" then why nobody reported about incitement before they happened?

* Why the NYT, who falsely reported that the dead officer was killed with a fire extinguisher at the hands of a rioter, only made the retraction right after the impeachment conviction vote when they had the means and knowledge to do so before?
Debian in particular put a fair bit of effort into integrating apt deeply with CPAN so that you could install a package from there that depended on system libraries and vice versa, and then for subsequent languages they... didn't. You'd think these were well-known technologies, but as far as linux distribution maintaners are concerned they're new and scary.

> If you are sure that you can create functional, stable, bug free, hole free, up to date, full of useful software distro with 10 independent package managers instead of one, then just do it.

I'd rather leave the distribution model behind entirely. And you know what? I do, and it works great. You just get the occasional complaint like this article, but it doesn't actually matter in the real world.
If you're just starting out it doesn't matter if homes are $100k or $1M, you don't have money to purchase.

People act like renting is some sort of evil forced upon people, but don't realize there is a big market for renting. People don't always want to own their own housing.

I've looked a bit into it, and it's actually not that bad. [0] is a French source (not government affiliated).

Basically, as you said, there's the "official" test, which is dynamic (the bike has to be moving) and involved enough to not be practical for everyday controls by police.

But there's also a "static" test, for the purpose of facilitating police controls. The meat of it, from the article, is below. The parameters for this test are given on the registration slip of the vehicle (expected sound level / RPM).

---

The sound should be measured with a microphone placed as follows:

* At an angle of 45º to the vehicle's longitudinal axis

* At 50 cm from the muffler

* At the height of the highest point of the muffler and at least at 20 cm from the ground

* If the bike has mufflers on both sides, testing should be done with two microphones, one on each side

Testing conditions:

* Testing must be done at 50% of the nominal power RPM [not max RPM]

* If max RPM is 5000 or less, testing must be done at 75 % of nominal power RPM

* There must be at least 3m of free space around all sides of the vehicle

---

This level is higher than the one in the official test, but it doesn't really mean anything. The official test is done wide open throttle starting at 50 km/h, so it should reflect fairly well the actual noise produced when riding around town. The static test isn't involved in the homologation of the vehicle, it's just there for the police to be able to check that the vehicle hasn't been tampered with.

Thanks for testing!

As for your terminal blue background it looks gorgeous, maybe you just need to tweak the palette a little bit to make sure at least 16 basic colors are contrast enough. Btw what is the meaning of :28 in your prompt? Is this amount of files changed or a revision number?
Wish I had a better answer, but it was pretty much just luck. A bit of accidental networking and good timing.

When I finished uni I had a few interviews for large enterprise-y companies to get into their graduate programs. None of those panned out. Then while I was looking for more things like that, one of my classmates asked if I wanted to interview to be employee #1 at the startup him and a non-technical friend had created.

They didn't have much funding, so it was ~45k (minimum wage or close to it in Australia) to start, as opposed to the grad programs that I think would have been around 55k-60k. But the job was basically building an entire fairly large and complex web app (as well as a bit of desktop and hardware related stuff) between the two of us, who had close to zero real world experience, my friend on the back-end and me on the front-end. So we basically just had all the responsibility, with no experience, and nobody to guide us.

From there I just hopped around a few jobs, looking for small places where I was the senior or second most senior person on the team. I learnt from the first job that the easiest way to learn is to be in a position where you have as much responsibility as possible so failure isn't really an option.
Good luck doing that anywhere outside the 1st world and still having a phone after the first hour.
It shouldn't be too hard for an interested private citizen of means to set up a grid og drones that automatically land and recharge and constantly record everything, passing it to a computer system that looks for these enormous objects.

I'm sure if it was real and if we wanted to we could obtain decisive visual proof in a way where the public was convinced that was not fraudulent.

Like why should we be spending millions of dollars on seti when the corresponding search for these kind of things on earth should be a lot cheaper and easier.
Oh wow! I had no idea it erased drives.

All right, I stand corrected. Still, macOS could stand to have a stability release now. We have the cool redesign, make it stable.
Because of react's popularity, it's attractive to make a project that applies react's style of development to threejs.

Similarly, around 2013 threeQuery (threejs + jquery) was becoming somewhat popular too (it had a jquery "chain" api like syntax). It's good to see people experiment and attempt to improve developer efficiency. Who knows what new tricks will be discovered and what kind of benefit and new approaches will be created! However, I mostly agree with you.

I find threejs to be one of the most enjoyable libraries to work with (and its codebase is simple and beautiful too). I also highly recommend to everybody that wants to go into 3d graphics to dedicate some effort and learn the actual fundamentals (eg webgl, opengl, metal, matrix math, quaternions, etc).
This way you gain domain specific knowledge that is applicable across platforms and across time. Abstractions are not future-proof, they are recycled and change according to the latest trends in development. Domain specific knowledge stays with you forever! If there is an intermediate ground on which people can meet (eg start with react-three or three.js and then dive deeper) that's a win too. Recently I have been advocating that web devs can start learning 3d graphic concepts by just playing with... CSS to familiarize with some of the concepts and then move from there. This way one can avoid all the overhead around the gl statemachines or various libs and focus on the basic concepts first
Wrong and wrong, try again.
Possible, but less likely since this has now happened 3 times, on different (but otherwise basically identical planes) in an ~18 month time span
There is more to reverse engineer on the M1 than there is on a random Intel based mac. Intel has been a reasonably good opensource steward as evidenced by all the .intel.com contributors to the linux kernel, and a goodly amount of documentation. Yes the intel has plenty of closed source firmware/etc but a lot of it exists to provide standardized boot flow/etc.

The M1 has none of that, so a random intel mac's reverse engineering is limited to only the parts Apple changed from what is mostly a set of platform standards that have been built up over decades. The core system IP (interrupts, iommu, virtualization, pci, memory controllers, USB, etc) already have linux drivers. The M1 OTOH isn't even fully compliant with the ARM instruction sets because they apparently have extended even that.

So, yes the hardware may not technically be locked down, but for all intents it might as well be, since Apple could have picked up the ARM system specifications and conformed to them but they didn't. The whole thing is vaguely reminiscent of SGI's failed attempt to create a new "PC" standard by dumping all the legacy, designing their own chipset/etc and running their own firmware. Yes it was an x86, but it didn't run anything except their blessed version of windows NT (IIRC). It was a dead end, because it turned out it didn't really offer any advantages, over a boring old PC, cost twice as much and removed the ability to run a bunch of software.

The M1 is much the same, it loses out in a lot of ways not only on the software front, but the hardware front as well. If it weren't for its fairly outrageous single threaded perf, which is at least partially enabled by being fully two process generations ahead of intel it wouldn't be noteworthy at all.
Don't put the hyperbole on me. I'm just repeating what I hear from the far left. They love to pain landlords as some evil 1%ers when in fact many are middle income people trying to get by.

And great, start a cooperative. But for everyone else who wants to rent a place, there are landlords.
I can't help but but interpret this as a very creative and well executed meta-troll.
I give all my technology spending to Central Computer since discovering them. Order online, pick up same day. It's great.
My first Mac was the 2010 MacBook that came with Snow Leopard. It had a 10 hour battery life, and a decent keyboard. I upgraded the RAM, and I replaced the optical drive with another hard drive, then installed OS X in a RAID1 configuration. These are things nobody could say about a MacBook sold today.
That's sad. When I tried to build my own wifi antenna (mid 2000s), I discovered that Radio Shack wasn't really a Radio Shack any more and that Fry's was the real electronics store. I don't even know where one would go to browse for electronic components anymore, especially if you're a newbie and don't know what's out there.
>> In other words, there is no viable consumer market for open computing.

This is a chicken and an egg problem.

Corporations don't have an incentive to create open consumer devices (lock-in,planned obsolescence). Consumers don't have an option of a consumer (not maker/hobbyist) level open computing device (TINA).

Hence the appearance of a non-viable consumer market.
Is it really that dystopian?
Probably not unique to Ioniq 5 but the fact that it has V2L or Voltage-2-Load function to charge other electrical appliances or even other EV cars, it will be very handy for camping or other outdoor activities including emergencies. Furthermore it has very fast charging capability (i.e 18 minutes to 80% capacity) makes it even more interesting proposition.

With this very high speed charging capability and V2L, it even can functions as a mobile on-demand power charging station, i.e Uber for EV charging.
Why not rely on app developers to handle security?
> Some words or turns of phrase identify you as a member of a group

Sometimes readers jump to that conclusion, but it's frequently or even usually untrue, while a shibboleth conceptually is something that can only be done by a member of a certain group. Contrariwise, for example, both feminists and anti-feminists could use such "group identifier" terms as cited in the article ("patriarchy", "emotional labor", et c). Using those terms absolutely does not denote to anyone which group you are in, and people who continue as if it does are clearly making an error.

I am a big fan of using contentious terms but then in close proximity expressing views slightly incongruent or even outright contradictory to those held by a stereotypical member of one of the term-using group, to get readers to question the usefulness or applicability of their stereotypes. I have no idea if I achieve my goal or if I just confuse people. Having read your comment, a lot of my writing exists to trigger[1] people who take your view (in addition to conveying useful information for the people who don't fall for the stereotype trap).

I reject the entire idea of the concept that using a word makes you a member of some group and thus permits a word-reader to infer some information about you. That's just bias, something we should all be looking out for and frustrating when possible.

[1]: this one wasn't planned, but is funny nonetheless.
Yes, even to food establishments, unfortunately.
whenever i'm at a store with a receipt checker I -out of sight of the checker- always take everything out of the bag and throw the bag itself away and pocket the receipt so i'm just carrying an armful of stuff, and then when I actually get to the receipt checker I just bolt and run right past them, trying to look as suspicious as possible.
It's also frustrating that every common term for some concept can easily acquire connotations that suggest a particular affiliation. For example, there's no easy way to refer to people who are present in a country in violation of its immigration laws without either conveying a connotation of sympathy or hostility toward them. "Undocumented immigrant" is criticized by anti-immigrant groups as (maybe intentionally) implying that someone's unauthorized immigration status is a mere bureaucratic oversight or accident, while "illegal immigrant" is criticized by pro-immigrant groups as (maybe intentionally) denying someone's personhood or inherent worth (as if there were something inherently illegal about the person).

I think I've seen someone try to use "unauthorized migrant" but there is even a prospect of getting pushback from people who hear this and assume that it must have been chosen in order to avoid showing support for their own "side".

This difficulty repeats itself a lot!
I prefer to think of such practices as an emerging recognition of more scientific principles. Signs and portents could be thought of as necessary but insufficient conditions or even a half-baked recognition of leading indicators. Consulting an oracle could be thought of as seeking out a sounding board or getting a second opinion.
That also means repair and troubleshooting for custom configurations really sucks. Either they have to keep a bunch of configurations on hand or the user is SOL waiting for basically a new computer.
> It reeks of shade to intentionally grenade the hardware just to get more door traffic at retail locations

Apple already forces owners of "vintage" MBPs to come in to a store for repair (or repair-related warranty) work, even if the failing component is identical to that of a non-vintage model. You'd think they would prefer to send those devices in to a repair depot with lots of inventory for older parts, but now that you mention it I guess they figured out that foot traffic converts into sales at a non-zero rate.
That's just the wear capacity; an SSD can still suffer random failures at any time. The controller and DRAM aren't designed to last for decades.
Nice, thank you for sharing that!

I am not using Snow Leopard at this time, but thanks to you I am a little bit closer to setting it up myself.
