Great story but it's hard to see where the future growth is going to come from when PowerAutomate gives you unlimited "tasks" per month for $15 per user and it can easily be bundled into O365.
Time zones change multiple times a year throughout the globe. For example, the time zone database changed five times in 2020.

If your time code doesn't already depend on an externally updating time database, you're already doing it wrong.

The argument you make there is of course invalid.

Your argument is "it hasn't happened yet, therefore it cannot happen". This argument proves entirely too much; it implies no technological change can ever occur. To make this argument, you have to demonstrate that the situations in which the change did not occur are the same in all important respects as the current situation. And you cannot do that. Here's what's different.

(1) The cost of renewables has crashed, especially in the last decade. In the case of PV, by nearly an order of magnitude. This is an extreme rate of change for an energy technology.

(2) The cost of storage has also fallen rapidly, and continues to fall.

(3) Market conditions are now beginning to favor installation of storage, as they didn't before (when there's enough dispatchable gas on the grid vs. renewables storage doesn't pay off.)

(4) The existing infrastructure was largely installed at times when renewables were not competitive. However, it won't be ripped out until it becomes uneconomical to operate it (which means ignoring its capital cost). So observing that the source are still being used doesn't imply renewables are not winning.

(5) Fossil fuels have not, and still large are not, being taxed at a level appropriate for the damage they are going to do. Renewables don't have to beat fossil fuels unburdened by CO2 taxes (although we may have waited long enough with CO2 taxes that they may increasingly do so, at least in some market conditions). CO2 taxes will rise to the level needed to push fossil fuels entirely out of the market, and then the question becomes "which is cheaper, nuclear or renewables (or, possibly, fossil fuels with CCS)"?

(6) Once fossil fuels are out of the way, it is crystal clear from the data that absent some technological breakthroughs, new nuclear power plants are grossly uncompetitive vs. renewables. This (and not ludicrous conspiracy theory) is why you're seeing massive installation of renewables around the world, and nuclear installs are gasping for breath.
Those aren’t formal definitions. “Formal” means, at the very least, that the specification is done in a formal language, and usually that conformance to the specification can be checked mechanically, that is, by a computer.

OctoPrint is great. I use it with a modified Ender 3 Pro and Cura + Cura's OctoPrint plugin. Having said that, I have been very curious about https://github.com/meteyou/mainsail. I can't quite tell if it'll work with Cura so I can just hit "print" from the slicer and have it go, but the UI is quite slick and free of a lot of random notifications, etc. that come with OctoPrint.
Not to mention the ethics of spreading the PII of someone who you suspect to be mentally ill (who claims to have hacked your company).
Given how much they charge per month, not too surprising.
I wouldn't discount Minecraft either! Roblox is probably better for younger children, but I remember being 10 or so and setting up a Minecraft server so my friends and I could play.

Also, if the kid is ambitious, then Minecraft is a stepping stone to Java programming (which may or may not be a good thing overall).
I thought it was pretty clever!
I can only imagine one group of people who would feel less welcome by that banner.

I'd be happy to expand upon that if you would like.
never give your smart TV the wifi password or a connection to a 100/1000Mbps Ethernet port that will give it a DHCP address.
2021 to me really marked at turning point for RISC-V embedded cores. $4 (+ S/H) for a BL602-based pinecone (or any of the many other BL602 boards). Pretty nice.

It's a really good book. I read it as somebody with no interest in cycling and the world it painted was fascinating.

Yes, a tab might 100s of MB of RAM. The question is how much more a tab would use by virtue of being a separate process vs not. Do you have a figure for this, and a reason a process spawn inherently requires a significant amount as a percentage of what browsers are using anyway?
A 10x engineer? Hah! You haven't even seen my final form.

But in all seriousness, there is a wide range of productivity levels. That includes some people who even have negative productivity. Ever been unfortunate enough to be on a team with one of those sorts?

I had the impression Rust was more compatible with C than C++.
I’m not sure what to take from this. In all my 8 years of living in Japan I have yet to see any prefabricated homes being built (and I’ve probably seen hundreds of houses under construction).
I've been thinking about that for a while now. Is there any legal basis for us to sue them? It's not only in smart TVs, but cellphones as well.
And Facebook was written in PHP. That hardly means that PHP doesn't have flaws or quirks or drawbacks.

And to your other point, I've never used docker or kubernetes and I am alive and fully functional without them.

As far as I'm concerned containers are a gimmick just like VPNs and just like go. It's a very hands off and ineffective approach to security that just makes you more comfortable being more lazy.
When you get to build your mental model directly into the app, you're always going to be at a huge advantage when thinking about it.

As far as I'm concerned, a big part of my job is fighting my urge to do just that, and try to write code in a way that my coworkers appear to have a better time understanding.
Maybe a randomized serial number will allow Apple to sell you a product made in America or Europe without you needing to know the difference. Maybe it also grants Apple greater liberties when negotiating with existing suppliers.

Such priorities for these politicians. While people are sick and dying they merely... adjust their watches.

But that's not enough so they legislate it for the rest of us too. Such priorities.
I turned the ads off in my LG TV, took 5 minutes and now it behaves exactly as a dumb TV would to my eyes.

I’m surprised by this community’s refusal to spend even a small amount of time hacking on their TV. Maybe you think it should “just” work, but when is that ever the case?
> It's not really baffling. The underlying analog nature of bits becomes problematic when many bits become ambiguous. When nearly all of them are unambiguous, presenting bits as strictly on or off is perfectly serviceable.

It’s baffling because it acknowledges then discards the ambiguity, and for the reasons that ambiguity is important which I already addressed. It has nothing to do with volume of ambiguity: a semiconductor product which misrepresents 0.01% of its bits is probably less serviceable than one which misrepresents 10%.

> As almost everyone using a computer needn't care about the hidden analog nature of bits, most of society needn't care that sex rarely manifests in a non-binary way. All that needs to be said to most people is "be a decent human being."

When both biological sex and social gender are non-binary for some of the population, insisting that they are is counterproductive to the directive to “be a decent human being”. Disacknowledging the reality of another person’s real experience is one of the most common tools used to neglect their needs, and ultimately to abuse and oppress them.
Higher level hardware design languages that better interop with software are desperately needed, but I don't know if C/C++ is the right UI/abstraction.
Still, Tesla was not founded by a cat for sure.
To me, you just proved the GP’s comment about “empathy” (in quotes because imagining yourself in someone else’s shoes isn’t empathy, but that’s what they call it). The difficulty with programming has almost nothing to do with the machinery around it and entirely to do with the ability of the general population to understand statements like the one you just made with 4 variables. The direct proof of this is that Word is much more complex than Sublime Text which I use to program. Yet, everyone knows Word. Of course, if someone starts programming with an IDE, they have an additional tool to learn.

For what it’s worth, I think it’s easier to teach someone to be precise with a drill than it is to teach computer literacy.
If you grew up with 3am being lunch time it won't feel awkward, until of course you move somewhere where 3am is sleep time and then it's awkward again.

Minetest may be a better comparison to Roblox here. Modding has first-class support and is a basic part of the game, everything can be serverside unlike Minecraft where mods have to match up, Minetest's mods also use LUA like Roblox (and Garry's Mod).

Bonus points, Minetest is free as in freedom software, so out of all these, I'd be most comfortable recommending it to someone.
Yeah, I know in theory that's the case (although I didn't realize how often time zones changed). I still expect there will be problems on that timeline. As for how serious they would be or how much difference an extra year would make, I don't know.
To be fair they didn't think of it either. It was a natural pivot from justin.tv when they see that the majority of their users were using the platform to broadcast games.
There are more modern Klipper-specific frontends now. Check out Mainsail and Fluidd.
That's a great window on programming languages that exist in the systems programming space but that are not Rust, C or C++.
You are not wrong. For me, when I've been in my dad's machine shop, he doesn't use pegboards but rather small drawers for drills, milling bits, lathe tools, carbide inserts, taps, etc. It isn't totally straightforward, but once I understood how he organized each drawer in a set of drawers, and from one drawer cabinet to the next, it was easier. The tool itself may not be in sight, but if you understand the nomenclature and labeling, the tool's location is still in sight.
That being said, I do agree about pegboards -- they are so nice even if the drawers are well organized. I find it more seamless to put things away to their "home" when it's directly visual instead of a layer of organization like that. Alas while some tools are well-shaped for that kind of organization, some do not do well with that (drills, lathe cutting tools/inserts, etc).
if i refused to interact with lying companies i think the only place i could do business is at the independent espresso stand a few miles away run by a senior lady and her cat.
This is more symptomatic of American Capitalism and its managerial class. Kill hundreds of people, get tens or hundreds of millions in parachute payments and stock and exit the company extraordinarily rich. Changing the leadership at the top of Boeing isn't going to change anything because the new leaders will be a product of the same society.
A mid-morning switch of date would take a bit more getting used to, but yeah, the time alignment isn't that weird considering we already handle quirks like some cultures having mid afternoon naps
I can vouch for and.co, you as the contractor can crate a customized contracts which addresses most of your concerns. You can also add extra clauses just in case. If all parties are acting in good faith then the amendments/additions on the generated contract shouldn't need to be run through a lawyer
> Bottom line is: we need a system to teach people more things that will probably end up useful and less obscure crap, but it isn't just "teach people whatever their job is and whatever they need to know as an adult, and ignore the social sciences and history because those will never be useful".

I agree with you here, and mostly because we all exist and make decisions in a historical, experiential, and psychological context, and you have to have some knowledge of contexts that are different from yours if you are to have any hope of being an effective leader.
The apps on my Hisense TVs are great (and yes I've used a Roku and an Apple TV).
I'm fairly sure the real problem during the big freeze was natural gas not being winterized. Wind power is less than 25% (being generous many would call it less than 10%) of the power stack of Texas and it wasn't the only one or even the most significant failing during a crisis. If anything I bet wind was what kept things running during the crisis.

the way I've had this rationalized to me was two-fold:
- some people commit suicide when the change of seasons doesn't fix their depressive episode
- others were so lethargic that the added sunlight gives them the necessary evidence/cognitive fuel to plan and execute
prefab houses look cool and everything... untill you start get numbers into the pictures.

it's not always clear if thermal performance/efficiency will be better, and they usually are very expensive. they might be cheaper than building a 700 square meters house, but that doesn't help a lot people looking for 70 square meters homes.

meh.

I stumbled upon it recently and found it quite endearing.
My code completion is actually quite decent, and my editor is vim. Under the hood, gopls takes care of the heavy lifting. It can be memory hungry (I note it taking up half my freaking ram on my 64G machine, though the codebase it's working with is quite large)

I wonder what everyone else is doing.
Good point, today has been a rough day and I let my temper get the best of me. I'll be more mindful of this in the future. Thank you.
I like the idea and project goals.

There are however gems like this in the source:

https://github.com/gajus/slonik/blob/master/src/routines/exe...

You can spend an hour trying to reason about the control flow of that triple try/catch alone. Bonus points if that function can recursively call itself (not sure what retryTransaction can get up to).

There may be an explanation for this horrifying code, but it should probably be right above in the form of:

/*
* The following code is not for the weak minded.
*
* Great care needs to be taken with it, for even the smallest mistake
* risks summoning the gods of old to end all life on earth
* in the most terrible way imaginable.
*
* There is however no other way because a, b, and c.
*/

To untangle that mess you'd probably have to rewrite it once just to understand it, rewrite it again
to get it right, then spend a month getting the edge-cases right.

But at least afterwards a newcomer can fix a bug without endangering the multiverse.
Use an ad blocker. I don’t feel bad about not giving money to what is essentially a rant about a crappy tv. My life wouldn’t have changed in any way if I hadn’t read it.
Once companies start paying $500k-1mil/yr liquid - fine.

But as it stands, I make a lot of money off those "uncertain" lottery tickets and demand a lot of them wherever I go.
Two, not even three? Yikes.
The 737 Max is aerodynamically stable without MCAS. The purpose of MCAS is to manage stick pressure progression in certain situations, in order to match the performance of the original 737 and thereby avoid the need for additional certification.

I think your analysis of the culture problem is insightful; even the most broken corporate cultures believe internally that they are not broken, and that problems are someone else’s fault. In fact this belief is probably an essential clue to a broken culture as it breaks the feedback-improvement loop and erodes accountability.
> Should my child learn Minecraft or Roblox?

No, they should learn Minetest¹, which is more limitless than Minecraft and more accessibly scriptable than Roblox, with an infinite world in all dimensions and basic modeling² and coding³ tools that work within a running game, but more importantly is Free software. Free as freedom from micro-transaction pushing companies, and free as in freedom to learn and tinker in the depths of the engine core and transform the entire world⁴.

PSA: macOS updates often modify your System Preferences to violate your Privacy
I went to change a Firewall setting for an app and discovered to my shock all the listed apps in it had been set to "Allow incoming connections" (which I had never done) and the options

- "Automatically allow built-in softwares to receive incoming connections" and

- "Automatically allow downloaded signed software to receive incoming connections"

had been enabled, even though I had disabled them. In the Privacy > Advertising section. Limit Ad Tracking had been disabled even though I had enabled it. (And if it needs to be said for some - no, I don't have any malware on my computer).

Edit: I am pissed because all I had installed were security updates.
Nobody is saying that these categories (or any categories) are sufficient to categorize all things, only that they're sufficient to categorize the vast majority of things. Exceptional boundary conditions will always be present, but modeling the overwhelmingly more common non-boundary conditions with broad categories isn't dishonest and is quite useful.
What a silly argument. "I want to call and it's 4:25am there". Except, how did you find out what time it was there in the first place? You googled " current time in Sydney".

No one memorizes UTC offsets for every time zone (especially not the weird 30 minute ones). They look it up.

For example, my brother lives in Japan. When we talk I often ask what time it is there and what the offset is. I don't remember it and do the math in my head.

Without timezones I would know what time it was in Japan but I still wouldn't know if it was night or day. But I could go look it up the same way, "daytime hours for Sydney".

This whole argument is based on the premise that I know what time it is somewhere else, which is silly, because you still have to look it up.
One of the great pioneers of electronic music, Delia Derbyshire, part of the equally pioneering BBC Radiophonic Workshop, hacked reel audio tapes and machines in the way you describe and much more, to create her sounds. She was so OCD in doing so that it was a bit damaging, and may have viewed the later digital synths as a godsend or with disdain. She created the Dr. Who theme.

It's easy to focus on how evil this makes Amazon look.

If we take a step back, we can see our society is in the middle of grappling with some very large problems.

More and more of our economy is based on things that have no or negligible marginal costs. That's not to say they're free to produce--often far from it. But the cost of making 1M is the same as the cost of making 1.

Our economy is just not setup to handle this. The value captured by producers has always been tied to a markup over the marginal cost of production, aka gross profit.

When the cost of production is $0, the entire pricing structure breaks down. Piracy and knockoffs threaten to bankrupt producers. Any effort to stop those things comes off as greedy and artificial.

What's true right answer? I don't know. But we do need to find a palatable way to let people profit on products where the entire cost of production it is a fixed cost paid upfront.

Maybe the issue is as "simple" as fixing copyright to have a more reasonable profit window. But that is, of course, not simple at all.
One of my favorite things about the Prusa 3 series is that you can embed a Raspberry Pi Zero running OctoPrint in it - it fits right inside the power supply enclosure. Bam, you've got a networked Prusa with no external anything.
So much this. My latest theory (I’ve spent more time than I care to admit pacing in my home talking to myself about social media) is that the incentive for content creators/publishers to get clicks combined with the increased behavioral pattern of readers staking claims by way of aligning their social media personas with a visible belief or #hottake (basically an online bumper sticker) — all sprinkled with the instantaneous exchange of information that is the internet — has created a perfect swirl of perpetual polarization without any wedge to throw in to stop it.

I’ve been concluding lately that the only way to slow down or stop continued polarization is to drop off of social media entirely OR remove revenue-earning by way of just clicks.

I don’t see either of these happening.
It is less dry. The 787 can be held to a higher RH% because of its carbon fuselage. No worries about rust. Furthermore, it's not pressurized with engine bleed air which is very hot and dry.
I'm using nixos with i3 and picom. Is sway with wayland really that much better? What day to day thing would I notice?
For those that like tinkering with 3d printers, check out Klipper. It's an alternative "firmware" that differs in that the kinematic brains run on a raspberry pi and the actual firmware is just a minimal binary that consumes a reduced instruction set. It works with Octoprint, or with Klipper-specific tools via its api server.
Even if this issue on borrowing were addressed, there is additional danger for the neutrality and intellectual openness of libraries stemming from the fact that Amazon, who holds a digital books monopoly, recently started censoring their store based on what aligns with their internal culture/politics.
