I really have been liking the look of Svelte, and used it briefly for a toy project. Have you had success launching anything with it? It still seems a bit immature for my tastes. The last I had heard was that they basically rewrote everything in the most recent major version and that sort of turned me off. Might be totally wrong on that, though.
Self-sustainable, wearable, multi-modular, E-textile bioenergy microgrid system
EU regulates how much power my vacuum cleaner and my lightbulb can use. And to what end? So that some greedy miner can buy cheaper electricity to make numbers and heat! The only way I can see that the environmental problem called Bitcoin can end, is to make it a more expensive.

Power prices could be increased by usage to motivate consuming less and punish those who use too much.

There will still be countries that mine and burn coal so that others can mine Bitcoin. But I believe there are more sustainable industries that could benefit from these wasted resources
There's no test methodology, so it doesn't matter. Is it measuring raw block device I/O or filesystem I/O, which filesystem, is it submitting I/O requests sequentially or in batches so that the OS can queue multiple requests at once, etc. etc. There's nothing to compare against, so I didn't even try running the test.

USB 3.0 has no trouble with high random I/O either, anyway.

Article is comparing different SSDs, not just different interfaces, so random 4k block read speeds differ. But it doesn't show what's possible with good USB 3.0 SATA controller and good SSD.

I just wanted to point out that speed difference doesn't have to have much to do with the interfaces themselves.

Has it always been getting narrower, though? That seems to be what's changed more than anything. What happens when nothing can be discussed?

Much of my commentary comes from past research on Archimedes... so I am biased and amused.

If I recall the founding of Syracuse is by Spartans and Corinthians... Archimedes society cared enough about knowledge that he was sent to Alexandria to study. Syracuse was a melting pot of cultures from the start and the Phonecians and the roman conflicts reinforced that to the end.
Five minutes of digging and I found out that this news article is actually just reporting on a tweet[1] by #DrKarlynB[2] which I found out is an organizational psychologists who hates critical race theory. Of her retweets she primarily retweets republicans, and the comment section of her tweets often contains pro-trump rhetoric.

For all I know the slides she presents from Robin DiAngelo’s lecture were taken out of context. I think this is a pretty poor example. Can you do better?

I'm not sure train leasing is a profitable as a it was when BR was privatised and Porterbrook et al owned all the rolling stock

What seems to happen now is the manufacturers e.g. Hitachi lease the trains to TOCs complete with maintenance plans built it.

Think Eurostar was the first model of this in the Uk
Because they are betting on founders not the product, product will change based on market response to it remember segment?what it was when it was initially funded and what it became after pivot.
In a way it is similar to asking why do you want to hire developer who does not have experience with xyz tech? this doesn't looks outrageous as we know experienced developer will eventually be able to learn and that is why we are hiring him/her.
This is similar essentially we are betting on person not product/technology.
How they're protecting the hard drive containing Trump's tax records
"The hard drive—which includes potentially revealing notes showing how Trump and his accountants arrived at their tax numbers—is believed to be locked in a high-security annex in lower Manhattan. A spokesman for the Manhattan District Attorney’s office declined to confirm the drive’s whereabouts, but people familiar with the office presume that it has been secured in a radio-frequency-isolation chamber in the Louis J. Lefkowitz State Office Building, on Centre Street. The chamber is protected by a double set of metal doors—the kind used in bank vaults—and its walls are lined with what looks like glimmering copper foil, to block remote attempts to tamper with digital evidence. It’s a modern equivalent of Tutankhamun’s tomb."

It's been getting steadily albeit very slowly worse for years. The Conservative government has been following a variant of the privatization handbook for over a decade now: https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2016/06/tsa-as-example-of-pr...

Overall costs have not been going down much but various parts of the service are given to contractors who do a worse job at a higher price and take a fat cut. Richard Branson notably has done this. The PPE fiasco that caused much of the spread of COVID was largely because of this - much of it was bought and didn't arrive: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/ppe-scandal-procur...

Nonetheless people's emotional impressions of the service tend to have a lag. Your Mother's cancer treatment from 9 years ago will have a much bigger effect on your impression of the institution than statistics about how well it is doing now.

Eventually it will be privatized entirely as a "fix" for the problems caused by privatization and the costs will skyrocket.

Just like the cost of my railway season ticket to London or a trip to the doctor in the US.

SBG3: we are planning to bring this datacentre online in 1-2 weeks.

One of my all-time favorite metaphors on the internet:

"I really don’t understand how bipartisanship is ever going to work when one of the parties is insane. Imagine trying to negotiate an agreement on dinner plans with your date, and you suggest Italian and she states her preference would be a meal of tire rims and anthrax. If you can figure out a way to split the difference there and find a meal you will both enjoy, you can probably figure out how bipartisanship is going to work the next few years."

I remember getting a CD of Suse with a C't magazine and that the installation process simply borked in the middle after a long while.

That was that until it worked like a charm with better driver support (and a Debian based distro) a few years later.
that is true and bad. i was mostly just thinking superficially selfish perspective of things i like using.
I have never actually seen SUSE used in the wild (running services in a data center or Cloud), it's always been CentOS / RHEL, or Ubuntu.

SUSE is a great distro though and I'm happy to see this. Does anyone have any anecdata where they've seen it most heavily used?

Ha. Had trouble with a PR, checked status page, no problems. Merged manually, open Hacker News, and there it is.
There are, of course, different opinions on this. If you would rather use `let`, there's no reason why you shouldn't.

The rule behind `const` still applies within a loop, which is merely another block like any other. If you don't expect a variable to change in a given iteration of a block, whether it's a loop or via a function call, `const` is technically safer in that it will result in an error. It's all about providing the developer better clues to fix issues. Without `const`, it may be harder to diagnose why a value isn't what it should be. But if you're comfortable using `let`, then by all means.
An email address is PII. Given that many preexisting systems used email addresses as usernames to identify users, let’s say a small business in 2015 hired a company to create a web app which let a user create an account using their email address and it put the email address into a log file with that user’s activity. The contracted developer finished the site, which cost 25000 EUR, much more than the business could afford to spend on tech another ten years. If this company gets 500 GDPR requests and cannot remove the PII because they don’t have the skill or money, should that company be fined? Should it shut down? What if there were 14 million companies with the same problem?
Agree with the others: use whatever is fastest for you. To me that is create react app, Chakra UI Pro, and Flask / SQLAlchemy.

I'm in the process of creating my own boilerplate project setup with this, so the next time around it will contain all the basics (auth, billing, etc.).

I think divjoy is a productized version of that, but I've never used it. Heard good things though!
Somewhat. I think it might mostly be that it provides a much greater return for those using languages where incorrectly handled values have a higher chance of causing much worse problems, like C and C++. I think if you write in those languages, or like me you haven't for almost 20 years but you're just still very interested in developments about them because they often seem to illuminate the weird quirks of computing and CPUs, then fuzzing is a much more common thing to have heard about.

Not that fuzzing isn't useful for higher level or managed languages, just that it's extra useful when you throw likely segfaults into the mix.

Control chars are in-band signalling. This is always "bad", but sometimes it's all you have. Certainly back in the early days of wired serial connections, that was the case.

So if you have in-band signalling, you need a method to generate those signals. I don't think there was any other viable way to solve this problem, and honestly it has worked almost flawlessly.

Of course Microsoft is a big exception, but that could hardly have been predicted 20 years earlier.
CDs were common in redhat (still without the E of Enterprise linux), debian, slackware and all...

But what to say about the manuals?

Those manuals and books included with the CDs, in the box.

For me they were a catalyst in my Linux learning.

Really good quality manuals, with reference tables, and covering many (many) topics. From the the graphical environment to the command line, from the administration of the local system, to network services, good structure, nice tips, cheatsheets, reference tables, even covering kernel compilation!

As you say, they did include everything needed, to live together with win98... tools, floppy images, etc... and the documentation about howto do it beforehand.

In that modem times, with low speed internet, the CDs where valuable, indeed.

But those books included in the box, for people like me in such times (self-taught beginner with Linux) those manuals were like gold!

Did use my first linux from a CD in a computers magazine.

Did play with redhat, and debian, then I did buy my first suse box with suse 6.0 (around 1999), and did buy again the box for suse 7 and 8.

Latter I did get faster internet, and did jump 100% to debian for everything. But I still have those manuals with my books.

The complete package (cds + books) is something that I remember fondly for how useful it was to me, and a lot of respect for the work of the people who made it.

I've heard the opinion that India is the longest-running example of functioning multiculturalism in the world. Parts of the Indian system are no doubt simple remnants of earlier times that serve no purpose, but others are probably very necessary for the system's functioning, and I wonder whether caste might be one of those.

At a glance, caste discrimination seems like it would in fact make it harder for the upper classes to exploit the lower past a certain point, as it makes people very aware of their own interests. Social mobility is a wonderful thing, but it can help arguments for policy that benefit the rich at the expense of the poor fly under the radar.
Has it been getting narrower, or do you feel as if it does as you slide closer to the edge, relatively?

I don't know, both are possible. But there are a lot of people that claim it's getting smaller but really it's that they're failing to cover up ideas that were always unacceptable.
This study isn't dispositive but I think it's reaching towards the sort of empiricism you're looking for.

> US NCAA basketball is, IMO, one of the most exciting sports for viewing.

This is such an interesting perspective to me, because I get nothing out of basketball (although watching it in person with people is okay). It's just so repetitive, the same things happen over and over the whole time. Scoring is so constant that none of the goals seem particularly special or spectacular.

I feel like both American football and Australian football hit a kind of sweet spot, where there are a lot of different kinds of athleticism on display, different sorts of positions in which different things can happen, and scoring isn't rare enough to make ordinary gameplay boring (soccer) but it's still infrequent enough that each one feels like something it makes sense to stand up and cheer for. With American football in particular, you can really say that two games are very rarely alike, whereas both soccer and basketball have a kind of "seen one, seen them all" vibe to them, with some very rare special games that elevate above that, obviously.

I think the bit about smoke was meant somewhat flippantly, to make a point and remind folks not to be wrongly judgemental. But as I noted elsewhere, being so is a sin and and I suppose church is for even the self-righteousness type of sinners, as we are all imperfect and should keep trying to be and do better. What a good way to help each other as we go through that process, regardless of what our individual needs may be along those lines.

What we all really are (children of God) is an important question, as is what He thinks about us as individuals. I don't think I can put it better than this (and many related resources for anyone who wants):

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/search?lang=eng&query=ga...

It is also an important question whether the apostles really unitedly speak for God, and if the scriptures are true, if the Book of Mormon is what it says it is. I have determined, for myself, that the answer is (gratefully) yes, and written much more about that elsewhere. I also believe that anyone who wants can determine that for themselves, also; and we all will decide for ourselves.

It is great to live where we can speak our views clearly, regardless of whether they all agree, or which side of a question we favor.

That's what makes it such an effective troll. If it was simply obviously bad from all conceivable contexts it wouldn't work. But, you are still being trolled. And, you are playing right into their game. They are getting you to sing their slogan and laughing at you the whole time.

>I find that this is a bit of a deception and used to disavow that you are unhappy with the current position of the Overton Window with regards to very specific issues, usually because if they discussed the specifics of their concern, it would actually fall outside of most people's Overton Window - thus the need to argue the meta route.

I think a lot of the concerns about "cancel culture" in particular is that there's an unusually large (and growing) chasm between the Overton Window that exists in certain elite "captured" institutions and the Overton Window that exists in broader American society - and that the enforcers of this "vocal minority" Overton Window are unusually zealous about trying to punish heresy in their captured spaces.

Also, there's an amusing critique that is increasingly forceful in my view that this is all a way to create a new sort of social class divide. I went to school for a long time and although I do not adhere to the scriptures of wokism I am accultured to its mores and can adopt the requisite Taqiya-style practices to survive in a culturally-hostile environment. Many cannot do the same and are excluded from opportunities accordingly - look at how many cancellations are predicated on "it's not what they said but how they said it" to see this sort of shibboleth-like status filter in action.
The point isn't making the telephony noises, the point is that most people have no idea that in certain situations, hanging up the phone and dialing a new number does not actually dial a new number. It sounds like you didn't know about this, for instance.

And again, this isn't about you. Most of the time, you don't pay for fraud, the bank does. That means that your bank is incentevised to reduce fraud, at the expense of your convenience - because not all of their customers are as smart as you are.
