Disagree, because I've got a hand full of these from different brands in operation right now. One even from the major CPE-equipment manufacturer in Germany. I know because they looked 'fishy' to me when they arrived, and I researched into that.

I opend some of them non-destructively to check them out, and deemed them sufficient. They barely get warm at all.

Nonetheless I put them in some closed rack where they only could produce some stink, but no fire.

I'm too lazy to unplug them right now to upload photos to Imgur, or such, because it would disrupt some services.

Anyways, no urban legend. Just the usual bureaucratic disconnect from reality, saying otherwise.

Meanwhile another bureaucratic entity, the german customs really likes to hassle you because of exactly that sh..! :-)

edit: Some of them in continous operation for just over a decade, some others about 5 to 6 years, YMMV. (shrug)
> The secondary circuitry produces the four output voltages: 5 volts, 12 volts, -12 volts, and 3.3 volts. [...] The power supply also provides a negative voltage output (-12 V). This voltage is mostly obsolete, but was used to power serial ports and PCI slots.

And even older PC power supplies also provided a -5V voltage, the corresponding pin on the ATX connector is now (according to Wikipedia) a reserved pin.

This progression also shows in the expansion slot standards: the ISA slot had pins for -5V and -12V; the PCI slot removed the -5V pin; and the PCIe slot finally removed the -12V pin. That is, a motherboard without any ISA or PCI slot, and without a RS232 socket or header, has no use for the -12V voltage.

And there's already a newer power supply standard, called ATX12VO, which simplifies the power supply by providing only 12V (and a separate standby 12V). There's already at least one motherboard built for that standard: https://www.anandtech.com/show/15763/first-atx12vo-consumer-...
Indeed - I don't think the President is normally personally involved in safety protocols...
I didn't know anything about compilers, but I figured out how to compile Piet programs, so I wrote a compiler[1]. The project has stalled out for (a) lack of free time and (b) some silly ambitions, but I don't care what the public thinks about my lack of updates, and that's great. In the meantime, I've been going down weird rabbit holes and learning aspects of computing that I missed in school.

I agree with what you've said but most political content gets flagged here. The few that don't normally have something technology related in them. The comments that go political end up flagged. Then Dang has to jump in to calm everyone down.
I think most people are against supporting bad people just because they do something good. You can like Right to repair and can support it even financially (assuming the gofundme funds will be dedicated to the direct ballot and not other endeavors), but I and many others don't like that Rossman is the one who is harboring this when he has moved from well-done repair videos to rants about anything that can be ranted about.
Neural Network Enabled Filmmaking
Nowadays it’s not an issue as much since the advent of digital seat-back entertainment but often, listening to analog passenger aircraft audio loops you can hear the 400Hz come through. 400Hz is noticeably sharper than G but between G (392 Hz) and G# (415 Hz) on the standard musical scale (A = 440Hz). So the 400 Hz clashes with everything.
My 2 cents: I run Reviewable (https://reviewable.io), a reasonably successful app for GitHub. It precedes Marketplace so I handle billing directly with Stripe, but when Marketplace recently reduced their fees to 5% I looked into migrating there. The lack of developer control over subscriptions and the painfully long turnaround times with support to get some straightforward questions answered (3+ months!) convinced me that they're not serious about it. Anecdotally, I also heard that the discoverability boost from being listed on Marketplace isn't that big either.

Based on my research I wouldn't recommend using GitHub Marketplace in its current state.
It's pretty close to an act of war.

100A over how many 12V circuits? I doubt it is just a single circuit, or you would need a ~4AWG cable and rated connector?

NATO has very heavy radar and ELINT coverage over that area, due to proximity to Kaliningrad. An intercept and shoot down would have been observed. Since the aircraft is Polish registered, and flying from Greece to Lithuania, it would be viewed as a direct attack on NATO.

This more mild strategy worked perfectly: Lukashenko gets to execute a political threat on trumped up charges, and there's essentially zero risk of a reprisal other than further sanctions, which were going to happen anyhow.

This is one of the reasons why I wish US/NATO had taken a stronger stand vs Russia's hybrid warfare tactics.
The point is that while Apple doesn’t charge like that, they could.
S3 is actually quite pricey. Not as much on the monthly storage (tho it can be depending on size), but network egress is really where they get you. On the scale of the App Store where the app might be 100mb but it gets downloaded potentially millions of times it gets expensive fast.

Now imagine your app is free. Yet you have to pay for all these downloads. There wouldn’t be any free apps anymore.

I have a copy of the book. I haven't found that in it, although it's a large book and I may have missed it. Can you provide a page number? I'd appreciate it.
Gorbachev confirms it in some interviews and denies in others.

Here he confirms it: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/193...

"The Americans promised that Nato wouldn't move beyond the boundaries of Germany after the Cold War but now half of central and eastern Europe are members, so what happened to their promises? It shows they cannot be trusted."
Meh, aren't cross-Atlantic flights potentially re-routed through US soil?

Isn't it common that flights to Canada need to make an emergency landing which conveniently allows US customs to filter passengers?

Diverting planes seems something that states just do.

This time it's a smaller state that uses big boy tools.
Winning the Cold War made a lot of European countries democratic.
Denying enough airspace to a plane already in flight is just as dangerous as a gun to the head, and just as much of a threat.

The machinations pretending it's not is what pushes it into being worse.
It’s really interesting to observe the way that we can all read that exchange with different interpretations. I don’t see the conflict you’re pointing to at all— to me, it makes sense that Cook can say users don’t want to navigate multiple stores if they had done, for example, focus groups.

Meanwhile the experiment that he didn’t want to run is whether users could distinguish between good quality app stores and bad quality ones, which he doesn’t know because they’ve never had to do it before.

That all seems sensible enough to me.
What God Says About Tithes in Malachi? – Gospel of God
Well that's pretty much my point, I said Amazon didn't want to make more money, I said that they didn't want to degrade their brand. It's not some moral high-ground, they just did cost analysis and realized that it was not worth it to get directly involved (as in branching out).

John McAfee doesn't seem to have a very firm grip on reality. But hey, at least he's finding a way to cope in prison. Good for him.
I wish this submission had been to a blog post analyzing the changes in the greater context of the diff. That would have made an excellent post.
With C and something like libev or won’t have issues with load before you have issues with weird http stuff that works for other clients or servers. I just had to modify my squid config to allow airflow Python to to a GET with a four length body: null (and no url-form-encoded content type).
Those don’t need to be apple products - the mini has standard ports.
That is an excellent idea. I hope I'll never have to do that (haven't had to deal with this kind of thing so far), but I'll definitely try this should an entitled user show up in the future.
The examples are all so blurry :(. (I am on an iPhone X.)

Yeah, I've heard that before. How the communists provided a free education, and so the citizens then owed a lifetime of servitude in return.
This is very bold move. They want his network, that's why this young man is so valuable. I hope the international community will act quickly, that his contacts know what they are doing and are prepared for this situation. Because he's facing torture, and the fact his girlfriend was arrested with him will make things worse. I don't know what to do
One possible solution is to start giving our money to companies that are not Apple or Google. Otherwise we'll be forever stuck with this duopoly and various alternative OS will keep being niche at best.
Also check out Bonzomatic, a live shader coding tool. It's available as a package in Arch Linux.
My metaphor for how software is actually created is Katamari Damacy (https://katamari.fandom.com/wiki/Katamari_Damacy): a giant ball of random objects that keep getting bigger, and more and more random crap just sticks to the ball. That's all there really is to it.
even if it is FBA, there’s still no inherent way for them to know. some stuff is shipped straight to them from China or wherever, but a lot of stuff goes via a third party
I'm genuinely grateful that Amazon has at least pulled those and other even smaller stores into an age of much easier online ordering and delivery.
My point is that some people try to and want right to repair to force companies to make their computers more modular in order to make them repairable, when that might stifle innovation.
I think in this context they basically mean that there are no countries in which a fake bomb threat against an airliner isn't illegal, so whoever did this, in whatever country they happened to be, committed a serious crime.
Someone who wouldn't want to undersell those projects could use the term art instead of useless.
> Huh, surely the Belarusian government wouldn't dare shoot it down?

No sane or insane pilot is going to risk it, however. Unless the pilot was certain that his and all of passengers fate were in danger, they are going to follow that fighter jet.
Agreed. Software is not hardware.

Behavioral patterns for a user are not tethered to one ephemeral implementation.

I ran a huge VMWare cluster in 3 data centers across the globe, not so different from an AWS/EKS pipeline.

Yes, I had to treat the hardware like pets to an extent. But the developers had no problem pivoting between VMWare and what we ran in AWS because the software tooling we provided looked the same.

Some folks believe memorizing YouTube videos = expertise.
Iran shot a commercial passenger plane down last year, so it isn't exactly outside the realm of possibility.
This is a cool project and I would not shame anyone for using it, but WireGuard is much much simpler than OpenVPN (which was comically hard to get right). If you are considering this because of the possible overhead of doing it yourself I can say it's really not that bad.
It might be different to a lawyer, but in reality it's the same. Forcing a plane to land so you can search for / arrest someone. About the same as "theft" and "civil forfeiture" are different...
I suspect if this law would come in, Amazon would make it a mandatory box for sellers to fill, and 9/10 they’d just lie and Amazon probably wouldn’t chase it up.
Far more immediately impactful change is this:

> For abandoned project channels that have moved or are no longer available to the public, you may request the ownership of the channel be transferred to you.

This effectively legitimizes the sort of takeovers that were discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27246755
Well, you've asked if it's possible, not if it's practical and convenient under any circumstances.
The issue with data processing with workers in both Node and the browser is paying for serialization costs. Until we have rich typed containers & structs on top of raw shared memory arrays (which necessitates manual memory management), all these parallel libraries are highly constrained to domains where the unit of work is very large, and the result is either a side-effect or very small.

I tried to use workers to speed up a JS bundler/compiler system 6 years ago by farming out parsing & analysis work, and getting results back onto the main thread for my naive implementation took more CPU time than the work itself.

Deserialization costs on the main thread is one of the biggest issues we have in the Notion back-end as well - no matter how fast the DB/cache are, we’re throughout limited by JSON.parse (or equivalent). I’m thinking seriously about Arrow because we could keep data in a Dataframe instead of as JS objects, and share freely between threads without copy, but that kind of strategy would require a large codebase rethink. Much more expensive than other languages where a bit of shared memory threading can truly speed up data processing.
I view the entire anti-GMO position as being not in good faith, so I have little patience when those making the anti-GMO arguments trot out the same well-debunked (or a priori nonsensical) talking points.
Every hardware capability is potentially available in this kind of framework. It's ultimately up to the user whether an app can get at it, or with what limits. This is an inevitable source of problems for sufficiently reckless users, but it should be possible for reasonable users to keep reasonable control -- not just hacker types.

A "side-loading lobby" wouldn't have grounds to demand more. (The overenthusiastic copyright lobby would probably have better luck in getting their demands wired in, going by history, but that's another issue.)
Maybe a wacky idea, but what if Apple required you to go to an Apple store to sideload a new app or app store. That way the person at the store can stop really stupid mistakes.
It doesn’t seem like there’s a full list of tags provided in this blog post. I find it odd that they don’t just allow free form tagging. Do they have a “white” tag? What about “Israel” or “Palestine”? What about “gender critical” or “protect women’s sports”? From reading this post and the examples they shared, it seems like Twitch is yet another explicitly biased tech platform that accommodates progressive activists and no one else’s worldview. It’s a blatant (and successful) practice of shaping opinions artificially - in other words, propaganda.
Some components, mostly capacitors, have the wrong hole spacing for their pins, and leads were bent to fit. That suggests part substitutions during assembly. Many of the through-hole components were not pushed all the way down into the board. That suggests overworked assemblers. This was obviously hand-assembled.

The author makes a point that there's a clear division between the AC line side and the DC side. That's required for UL approval, but power supplies do show up without it. The power transformer that crosses the boundary should also have a split bobbin, so the AC line side coil and the output side coil are separated by a barrier, not wound on the same bobbin.

There are worse power supplies.[1]

International law is not a real thing that has loopholes... it is just a set of agreed upon principles that are usually followed.
Logically apple makes most of their money selling IPhones based on them being desirable phones in large part because of useful apps.

The cost of sending your app through automated processing and serving it to 99 people needed to make back your fee is probably on net less than a penny.

Offering this service to small time developers would still be 99.99% profit so there would be no reason to make up for lost profits.
Rob Landlay made a similar observation, but I'm the end named the project Toybox instead of Dorodango.
The new M1 Mac Mini might literally be the first 'affordable' Apple machine that isn't underpowered. Will need to cough up some $ for display adaptors if you want more than one monitor for development though.
While I concur with that, I sometimes wonder which machine translations they used? Googles got better, Deepl even more so.

Maybe they should embed the latter as option for the languages it understands.
Depends on how you look at it. I used to work in a store that sold software in the 90s. The publisher would sell us the game wholesale and we'd charge retail.

So they would sell it to us for $22.50 and set the retail price at $29. So in that sense it was a 22% cut, because we only kept 22% of the sale price.

But in most cases the publisher didn't make the game. They were a middleman who took a game from a studio and sold it to us. I have no idea what their cut was between them and the actual maker of the game, but I'll bet it was more than 8%.

So in that regard, the app store is a really good deal because it lets developers publish directly to consumers without a middleman.
As a hiring manager, I find this hard to believe.

One doesn't have to participate in organizational tactics that favor replacing employees over negotiating the conditions that makes notions of loyalty an inherent trait of the workforce to at least acknowledge that there are questionable actors in positions of power in the employer/employee dynamic who aren't willing to make the emotional and capital investment in their people.

Brings to mind something I saw on someone's wall once "pay people well enough they'll never need to leave, and treat them well enough they'll never want to".

Our experiences aren't universal. I'm also a hiring manager, and I don't find it hard to believe at all. Very early in my career I gave two weeks notice to a job I worked at for four years, offering to train up a junior on the team. I was walked out the same day.
What would happen if a pilot refused? My understanding is pilots have near total authority when operating an aircraft so if a pilot knew the “threat” stated was fabricated could they, in theory, just keep flying? Or even landed at a different, closer airport than the one specified?

To be clear, I don’t think pilots should be in a position to judge the truthfulness of ATF or the government they’re flying over and I don’t think pilot judgment is the “solution” to this loophole that has now been abused twice (that we know). I’m just curious about the process and what would happen if a pilot decided to call the bluff. Would Belarus (or whichever country) scramble fighter jets to force a landing? Would the pilot get in trouble? Is the answer different for a private flight vs commercial flight vs diplomatic flight?

Good thing Belarus isn't a signatory to that convention and therefore it does not apply to them.

If I land on a plane in America, shoot someone before I clear immigration, then depart, does that mean I can't be arrested?
Even if you're a "computer person" who is comfortable messing with the internals of a PC, be very careful with the power supply. Opening it up should really be left to professionals. Capacitors can remain charged for a long time after disconnecting the power cord. If despite all the warnings, you open it up to fiddle with internals because you think you understand the components and can pay attention not to touch things, at the very least, use only one hand at a time to avoid creating a circuit through your heart.

In most other parts of the computer the worst that can happen in most cases is that you damage the computer, the power supply is different, there you also have a good chance of getting shocked.
I came to the same conclusion over the time. Mainly because I figured out:

When you want to build stuff for profit, coding is an afterthought. There are so many tasks necessary that involve zero coding. You essentially become your own product manager that needs to talk to (potential) customers, completely reevaluate your value proposition, do marketing sales. The more time you spend on coding, the higher the chance your assumptions about what people want are wrong.

If you want to spend 100% coding I would argue that's impossible to make profitably.
Name an online marketplace that had good quality honest factual reviews before or after Amazon.

At their scale it is absolutely impossible to moderate and keep the problems away. The stacks are against them. Each seller has the incentive to try to game their own product reviews, while AMazon has to attempt to stay on top of the whole marketplace.
This one has a ton of complex incentives. As a manager it's expensive to invest in growing an employee and promoting them. This requires setting them up in the right projects, helping them navigate situations they weren't prepared for and ultimately risk if they prove unable to handle it/your promotion case wasn't strong enough.

It's only really worth the risk as a manager if people stay with the company for a significant period of time, at least long enough to make it through to promotion. If you see that someone may be looking, then you aren't going to invest in them and will focus on someone else in your team.

All this is balanced on the turnover rate of our industry at ~18 months to 3 years median tenure.
There’s a line between being frank/brash and being an asshole - and often what side of the line someone falls on depends on how well you know/trust that the person has your best interests at heart.
Right, that's ofcourse different, but is that the right test?

"X is being done and filmed by an adult, and kids have access to this platform, would you be comfortable with a teenager doing the same?"

I can also think of a number of potentially dangerous activities, unrelated to sexual stuff, that would be appropriate for an adult to stream but not a kid.
macOS app that helps you stay healthy and feel great
I know a couple people who dislike Reddit's degraded web experience to drive users to their app. I haven't installed the app myself. Maybe it's a minority opinion. But supposedly Reddit has 1.6 billion unique visitors per month, and about 120 million app installs.
Apples and oranges. Snowden was an internationally (or most nations) wanted man, and had trouble moving. He knew he was targeted and any plane he'd use will be targeted.

On the other hand, this hijacking probably took everyone off-guard. They also didn't divert the plane because of a wanted individual but they made up a fake reason. This is piracy/hijacking plain and simple.
What are they charging this guy with, anyway? The article has no details on that whatsoever.
My coach for a sport that is completely unrelated to tennis has me read that book. It is generally applicable, I agree.
