I am not saying that fabs can't happen because of something in Europeans' DNA. I am saying they can't happen because of the current political climate. Thus we are talking about obstacles to building new fabs in this thread. Existing fabs are a sunk cost -- the environmental approvals have already been granted, the political battles already waged, etc. In terms of existing fabs, there is a single modern fab in Crolles, France and a few (3?) in Germany. I think that's it for Europe - 4 fabs that can do 300mm. Then you have a bunch of 200mm built in the 80s.

Of course there is Ireland, but that's a fundamentally different situation -- Ireland exists as a type of corporate welcome mat and shouldn't be categorized with "europe" when you are talking about business climate/regulations.
I don't know many people into trading collectibles, but the few I've talked to have no illusions that this trend will continue forever. They're gambling that they can cash in on short-term market euphoria and hope that they can get out before it all collapses.

Who knows what will actually happen. It's interesting to see collectible companies cashing in by manufacturing more "rare" collectibles out of thin air at a rapid pace.
Sometimes they are. My house is single story and has sewage pipes in the walls. Regardless of whether that is a requirement, the pipes have to go through some part of the structure to get to the outside, regardless of whether that's a wall, floor, foundation, etc.
Here's what I do:

Start by calculating your own bandwidth(a.k.a. the amount of stuff you can do) over a day, a week, a month. It's not as easy as it sounds and many people have no idea how much can they actually do. Push yourself for fixed amounts of time and measure how much you can output for various tasks you're interested in.

If you're anything like me you'll feel very underwhelmed. "How the hell did I do so little? I thought I can do more." or something along these lines. This is good, means you've found your (current) limits.

You can use that to do estimations. When you want to go into something that will take way too much time (and you should know that somewhat beforehand) either cut it off or start thinking about how you can outsource.

Keep in mind you can improve on any of these, but having a back-of-the-napkin guide always helps me with priorities.
I'm not sure I understand the conclusions of that paper. The ADH1B variant is associated with lower alcohol consumption and also with lower cardiovascular risk but within that population there is still a J-curve relationship between cardiovascular disease and alcohol consumption.
If you’re in the camp that considers every PIV as rape, sure. Every action can be bent into something ominous-sounding: There’s a small group of people in DC forcing a whole country to follow their rules “or else”.

Women here get to choose, it’s hardly pimping.
I hope they solved the spaghetti code nature of QML (basically everything can refer to anything else; you end up with children that have dependencies in the internals of their parents).

> Muscle memory has a half life.

Indeed. This is part of why I sold one of my motorcycles - a powerful, fairly aggressive sport touring bike. It was my daily driver for about 2.5 years, and I rode it typically 7 days a week, around 1300-1500 miles a month. I knew the bike, and I had the "edge" - there was no question about what the bike was going to do. I knew it, I knew how it responded, I knew what I could ask of it. If I didn't ride for a few days, I could feel that the edge was dull when I got back on - there was just a little something missing, corners were a smidge sloppier, etc.

And I was no longer riding enough miles on that bike to keep that. I knew I was ham fisted when riding it compared to what I used to be, and I just don't put enough miles on anymore that I was able to keep it up.

I now ride the motorcycle version of a Russian tractor (one of a few Urals - sidecar rigs), and they're both entirely different from two wheels and demanding in different ways. But they don't have the sort of instant response of a sportbike either. A good sportbike does what you asked, right now. Capable of it or not, it does what you told it to do, and if that includes an unintentional wheelie, well, you did ask for it with your throttle inputs. The Urals have their own nasty handling corner cases, but are a lot more forgiving in many ways, and you really have to muscle them around at times. A subtle input gets entirely ignored.
Thanks for posting this. I was actually just today looking for a solutions to render a website as a PDF, and didn’t get as far as puppeteer – which is probably too heavy a dependency for my use case, but is still nice to know about.

Does anyone know of a print-oriented web-browser that understands CSS? It seems like the kind of thing that would be useful to many.
Base Android with unmodified settings is terrible for privacy. If you're willing to put in the work to install LineageOS and move off of Google apps and jail/delete them, it can become a superior option over iOS, if for no other reason that that you can set up competent adblocking and take advantage of Open Source replacements for apps like Youtube that don't transmit as much data.

This is part of why it's tricky to make phone recommendations to privacy-conscious people. iOS is the clear winner on privacy for nontechnical people, and the clear loser on privacy for highly technical people. But a lot of people fall in the middle of that spectrum -- semi-technical -- and then it becomes complicated to figure out what they should do.
Are you serious? It takes a minute to disassemble literally any APK with AdMob SDK and abuse their ID's. These values are not secrets. If a billion dollar company like Google can't detect simple fraudulent activity like this, how are their ads supposed to be worth a single dollar?
I've never worked with UML, but part of me wants to like it. Part of this is a reaction to (IMHO) an excess of "agile" methodology and a corresponding lack of forethought. The more intriguing part, however, is the idea of subdividing the problem using visual formalisms, and diving down into code to formalize the trickier bits.

I wonder if there's a clear boundary beyond which visual formalisms are no longer effective? I'm reminded of visual proofs in mathematics, and their reputation for being unreliable and misleading. It would be cool if we could identify a subset of cases where visual formalisms were (nearly) as rigorous as lexicographic ones, but nevertheless more intuitive.
Back in 2011 we built yatta solutions as a startup around template based roundtrip engineering. UML lab would use templates to not only generate the source code from UML diagrams but also to 'parse' the code.

I don't know the current state of https://www.uml-lab.com/en/uml-lab/ because I left for other adventures, but if you are looking for a tool that can actually keep code and UML in sync give it a try.
Isn't monetary rewards the correct incentive though? Paying people (or discounting) shares the value-add of tracking back to the tracked.

Apple trying to keep people from willingly and knowingly accept tracking seems like they're being too paternalistic.
Cellebrite Physical Analyzer no longer fully available for iPhones
Agree with you except the last part, what does this has to do with Denmark? Plenty of silly ideas comes from all corners of the world, probably more from SV than anything, but people are not blaming that on the government of California/USA.
Totally agree. The more time passes, the more I realize that I want to own what I have. I've grown more selective about what I purchase in general and I've become more minimalistic; but if I want to have it at all, then I want it to be mine free and clear. Especially when it comes to tools, land, and personal items. I want Good Quality and paid for with cash.

I tend to use things until they completely wear out, and I get really good life out of them. This makes them very cheap compared to the usage pattern of upgrading all of the time. Renting would be very expensive lifestyle; and my usage pattern is more environmentally friendly to boot.
IPv6 Fragmentation Loss in 2021
Yep, it's true SSDB is a hidden gem that deserves more exposure. LevelDB/RocksDB has been around for a while with benchmarks. Here's a related reply about it from earlier https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26957339
Markdown has broader applications than HTML though. Pandoc is my preferred document writing system for exactly that reason. Of course, when you go for the weirder branches of Markdown spec you'll get weirder results, but the documentation is fantastic, and it's pretty easy to stick to the golden path.
We (in the US, at least) are paying able bodied people not to work, precisely in order to have them not work. The policy being that it is better for the entire society if all the laid-off service economy people (retail, hospitality, entertainment, restaurants, etc.) stay home. If we did not pay them, they would find other work, which would require them to leave home. Which would be counter to the public health policies. Staying home is the _point_ of the policy, not a side-effect.
> There doesn’t need any “standard” for how to do adhoc diagrams.

Oh yes there does.

I have seen people makeup ad hoc notation during an ad hoc diagram and then get confused by what it means orthe meaning shifts during the diagram. No, we have a standardised language. You wouldn't want blueprints with ad hoc units. "14 snails thick, and 3 rabbit-seconds in length which we indicate with an underlined star"
Is anyone trying to make homes out of plastic lumber? Like the material from the Trex decks and Polywood tables. My understand is that those are 100% recycled materials, solid, and a decent alternative to wood.
I don't disagree with you actually. I believe that building codes generally keep us safer and create a better standard of house. Most people don't want to become test subjects for an experimental technology.

My point is just that the current building codes necessitate experimenting away from more developed areas in order to innovate and that this should not be held against examples of construction innovation.

After having had to search for land I would say that I feel that building codes are perhaps not overly restrictive, but too ubiquitous. Most experimentation and innovation can only happen on small patches of remote scrubland with poor soil, deep ground water, and limited access to the internet.

It would be nice if some of these projects could take place 15 minutes out of a mid-sized town rather than 40 minutes to an hour. I can see the value in enforcement within a city's limits, but we could get faster building innovation if counties and states were laxer with building codes on their unincorporated land.
They have Elasticache which is always a concern. In terms of open source projects my read is they really don’t want to run their own and are much more comfortable operating open source as a service. They “forked” Elastic Search 2 years ago and basically did nothing with it until it was re-licensed a few months ago. Now that they are investing more into it I’m interested to see how they handle it long term.
If I were Tesla, I would absolutely exclude wagons, because it makes my numbers look worse, and IMO it's legitimate because it's a different body style (I'm a wagon lover, but I own a Model 3).
I would hardly characterize calling your mother or donating to charity as "ethical behavior".
Is it too much trouble to just override the base style with the js style? As in, don’t specify the base style with “no-js” at all, just the js overrides.
When you said "Rather than eliminating everything but the monocrop" I assumed you meant society eliminating non-monocropping farming methods.

Is that what you mean or did you mean something else, like the machine could eliminate some non-monocrop plants but not others?
I understand that point, but I'm saying the West is not irrelevant ("Has it though" as in, "has it become irrelevant though"). The 'woe is me' is strong in this thread, but the solution is at worst 10 years away if Western governments put their backs into beginning the long process today.
It's like running an experiment by adding a venom in water supply, with a possible later remedial action of offering an antidote.

They seemingly had some success with the first step, until this was duly noticed.

The experiment itself may be a bad idea, but it's a good, useful wake-up call.
The signal to noise ratio would still be terrible. The company would have no mechanism to work out who was actually being honest.

For every story that trends on HN, 9 times out of 10, it turns out Apple/Google/Microsoft/Facebook were right, and the company was doing something dodgy.
"Not being on the web" doesn't seem like a huge footgun. There are probably more people with a mobile phone and no traditional computer than the other way around, especially if you go outside of the US and Europe.

Revolut, Grab, Gojek, Tinder, WhatsApp, and many more are all successful that offer a mobile-first solution, with either no web/desktop client or just as a an additional client (usually with fewer features, and/or still requiring access to a smartphone).

> Also "any chance of any form of adoption" is a bit overstatment. I still use a dumbphone

Of course it's possible; but depending on what your interests in life are you will pay a price, and in practice for the vast majority of people the price is too large to use a non-Android/iOS compatible device.

> many apps have web alternatives here, or alternative GPLed clients for Linux (that includes whatsapp, apparently), that can be made native on pinephone.

Unless they somehow hacked the encryption, you're still going to need a connection to the phone's WhatsApp client.
I pretty regularly have Slack running while compiling Erlang in the background, running a Docker container, several dozen Firefox tabs, and a Microsoft Teams call going, and I do not have problems with 16GB on x86. Perhaps ARM Macs use more memory or something. My next MacBook will definitely have more than 16GB if it’s available, but that’s more for future need rather than present.
Sequence diagrams seem like the go--to format for displaying data flow in a microservice-type environment, but even though there is a plethora of implementations in various languages and technologies that generate diagrams of this kind, they all lack certain functionalities, number one being the support for threads. Some solutions do provide the "par" fragment, but this is inadequate when message ordering corresponds to cronological ordering. Numbering messages may help, but I find it easier to grasp what is going on visually with multiple activations per lifeline (the best implementation of this I've found to date is the Quick Sequence Diagram Editor [http://sdedit.sourceforge.net/], but that project doesn't seem to be active or maintained).

I've recently tried to find a suitable solution for this on StackOverflow, but I've been rejected under the "Opinionated question" remark (::sigh::), so I could just as well do it here.

Is there a (Java based) sequence diagram generating tool/library that has the following functionalities:

. supports multiple threads and thread referencing in messages (multiple activations per lifeline)

. supports delayed messages (message trasmission and message reception can occur at different times, i.e. sending a message does not imply immediate reception on the other side)

. no custom language/pseudocode as input, but builder-style approach (I use Java to generate a text description of the diagram and then pass it to the library for parsing - I could just call the methods the parser calls and remove the unneccesary middle man)

. highly customizable visual style (PlantUML, the most flexible I've found in this regard, is notoriously bad at styling, mostly due to a lack of a coherent styling paradigm)

If not, how many people would be interested in such a thing? I may start it as an open source project myself...
I know a few seniors who'd be down for that!

> you still need to be willing to walk away. A bad deal can be much, much worse than no deal at all.

Yes yes yes. For almost all things in life you need to be able (and therefore on some level to be prepared) to walk away. And if you can't, you should set as a top priority creating the ability to do so (and don't let on to the other side that you can't walk away).

If the other side of the deal picks up on the fact you can't or won't walk away and is malicious, they will savage you.

> What is and isn't Ethical has largely already been discussed and decided

By who? You're appealing to a non-existent, homogeneous "community" when you say

> the moral obligations of the professional community as a whole.

To take specific examples, maybe one community considers it a moral obligation to advance technology and knowledge no matter what, even if it has uses some people don't like such as crypto or facial recognition. Apparently the big-tech and silicon valley communities think it's okay to police speech on their platforms, whereas professionals who value free speech would consider that unethical.

As an engineer I don't want my tuition going towards anything that isn't directly useful to me, or that aren't my free choice. Until there are ethics regulations or something that actually impact my professional life, I'm not interested in spending money on it.
Shifting Left of Bang to Improve Your DevOps Security
You are a failure only in your mind.

For the homeless you are success.

For the old grandma you are a "catch" and a good candidate for her daughter.

the thing is. Your dreams weren't yours. You just copied some formula.

Imagine you are a "The sims" people that stubbornly tries to do X while your "real" persona is saying: "Dooon't go there... do this... Damned. I will break this then until you change course."

My Advice: Don't think about yourself. Be Useful. Go to your local church and help just be there.

We need people to help, to do "small" tasks and help community.

We need you. There are literally people outside that NEED you. NEED your experience and Wisdom or just to talk.

Be among people, help people.
Maybe the business should have read the policy guidelines.
> training people to rely on a touchscreen device that is not consistent or reliable.

This is a common misconception, easily avoided by getting some firsthand experience owning a Tesla.

We literally do not use the touchscreen for driving. And for that matter, almost not at all while driving.

As with any tool there will be those who misuse it and put others at risk. I look forward to hearing you give even a single example where a human driver was not to blame. And, preemptively so you won’t waste your own time, I don’t mean citing links where if you dig in you find that the link does not support your case.

It’s true that over time people will learn to rely on controls less and less. The world has been through similar transitions with horse and buggy -> car for example. There will be accidents along the way but the end result will be a world with far fewer accidents.

Its possible there is a better way to get to that world, but I haven’t thought of one. Perfect systems do not just spring up out of nowhere.
My off-the-shelf solution is Safari.
Well, that particular sold for so much b/c it is a 9.6 graded sealed copy - even though the game itself sold 60 million copies, there are extremely few copies still available in such pristine shape. I'd argue it's more like the Honus Wagner baseball card or Action Comic #1.
Emacs has given me this feeling for a while. Even over a remote connection that is super slow, I am supremely confident in every keystroke getting to the server and doing what I want.

It's an idiom from Hamlet.
I looked at the paper but I don't understand how they got to that conclusion. There is still a J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and coronary heart disease outcomes. Not questioning the conclusion I just don't understand how you get to it from their data (due to my own ignorance).
I'm curious to see if Zen 4 manages actually. It'll be an interesting datapoint as to what actually makes the M1 better.
That's been my experience in the real world as well, which has the result of making me very skeptical of ivermectin.
You can take soil and mix it with a little sand and cement and compress it into a brick. It’s called earth blocks. It’s interesting to consider how cheaply one could build structures if they are mostly dirt.

We don't need a new construction methodology to fix a materials problem. A specialized construction methodology makes the problem worse, because they often require very specific materials.

My 3D printer is compatible with ~5 very specific types of plastic. Traditional construction can be done with plastics, metals, masonry, wood, composites, and many others.
Doh, thanks for educating a non-educated fool like me :)
A little remimder for all the people advocating for teaching "Ethics" to students/researchers: Linux Foundation is sponsored by Microsoft, Google, Intel etc.

I homebrew, and getting hold of corny kegs at reasonable prices has been hard this year here in the UK. 2019 is was 3 for £100 delivered, and even cheaper if you could buy direct from somewhere. This year even 2nd hand they are £65 plus, though new are still £85ish if you can find them.

It's been a funny year for hobbies!
Exactly what I mean. Unfortunately, I think a large number of people on the site lean towards something like idealism or imposing moral and ethical views on others, hence why comments like this get downvoted.
Hmm, but wouldn't features like wifi, all the cameras, the touchscreen, Cellular data, NFC, touch ID, speakers, bluetooth, and so on all come in via IO as well? You're right that they only have one port, but they still connect to a lot of different components.
Sometimes this just makes me think that every pilot needs some IRF experience and a fuel gauge that has an alarm that says 'land now, you moron' or such.
It's because they don't have a business model that requires them to squeeze "ROI" lemonade from data processing lemons. Google's ad tech-driven business model will always require them to optimize that ROI. Their clients are advertisers and the advertisers want all the lemonade they can get and that snowball's the ROI.

Apple's clients are much more directly the users. Their financials seem to make it clear that they are way more profitable from user-oriented products and services than anything they could return on data processing and sale to advertisers or worse. They "couldn't figure it out", because they don't need to squeeze any lemons, they have far better things to sell than lemonade. (It's Google that looks far more undiversified beyond their single lame lemonade stand, and way more at risk if advertisers get bored of the taste of lemonade.)
The connection between the "assetization" of pop culture collectibles and the focus shift towards popularity over obscurity is illuminating. This reminds me of the recent explosion in the Pokemon card market [1], which struck me as a similar phenomenon where it seems like the market is being controlled by outsider millionaires more than by collectors with a lot of investment in the series.

On the other hand, when I see that picture of the pristine SMB cart, I can kind of understand the hype. I couldn't imagine myself ever being that hardcore of a Nintendo fan, but if I were as infatuated with Mario as I am in some of the things I actually collect myself, I think I would be extremely jealous of whoever owns that cart.
