> Boring through two mountain ranges, crossing many rivers (including the Mississippi).

The First Transcontinental Railroad started from Omaha, Nebraska, so it crossed neither the Missouri nor the Mississippi. Indeed, it only crosses the North Platte River, not the main stem itself, and this is the river famously described as "too thick to drink, too thin to plow," i.e., not quite the same challenge as crossing the broader and much deeper Missouri, Mississippi, or Ohio rivers.
I love to-do lists simply as a way of getting me started on a task. The efforts to machine instruct, line by line, each discrete step, makes tasks more manageable, for one, and I am able to think out unknown unknowns along the way. By eliminating abstractions in the task, the task is nearer completion through brute force execution.
Hi Gopher, first you need to work;-)
See, that’s exactly my point. If her parents were an “odd bunch” then that’s exactly the sort of thing that an investigator should flag as a no no in terms of national security roles. If there is even the slightest whiff that someone’s an odd duck then you shouldn’t go there.

They did that, and got bit on the ass for it. Simple as that.

I don’t think you’re talking out your ass, but I’m a former intelligence puke and I am honestly shocked at how stupid our intelligence agencies have become over the last few decades. For me, it’s just a simple black and white calculus - if you want to keep secrets, you don’t hire flakes. That’s neither here nor there on the moral spectrum, I’m just talking about keeping secrets secret, which is really hard no matter how you slice it.
It's presumably for the same reason that people make knock-offs of chips like the MPU-401 UART and the ELM327. There's a large installed base of applications for them.

The drivers themselves can't possibly be that complex. But getting a USB-IF vendor ID as well as drivers in Windows is probably a bit harder.

Not only does Linux have its own drivers, they can unbrick the damaged devices.

No.

In the worst case scenario, nuclear presents a much greater risk.
Again, recycling. What's the lifecycle of a solar panel, and the aforementioned batteries. 10 years? 20? What do we do with millions of them then?

It's just so bizarre to me that people would take the time to dissect a movie from the 1980s, depicting the 1940s, to compare how it matches up with today's standards of things like gender equality, cultural appropriation, and social justice. Of course it won't perfectly comply. What is the point?

Information I have learned from reading the Green Building Advisors website over the past two years while building a new house (electric-only although I didn't start with that purpose):

1) Air source heat pumps have become incredibly efficient even in cold climates.

2) Ground source heat pumps are complex and very expensive and probably best suited for large installs like schools.

3) Ductless mini splits are the preferred way to heat and cool most USA (tight) homes.

4) Modern code dictates a tight (measured by air changes per hour) home and making an existing home tighter is usually the best use of time and money.

5) Induction is superior in many ways and air quality points to gas cooking being much worse than previously thought.

6) Heat pump hot water heaters (with tank) are the most efficient way to provide hot water.

7) Tankless electric is difficult because of the huge spikes of power it needs. Maybe if you have a battery with your solar setup, it can work better.

8) Tankless also seems to have more maintenance issues than expected (e.g., it's not maintenance free as I imagined).

9) Once your house becomes very tight (measured by air changes per hour), you will need to bring in fresh air. An ERV is efficient at exchanging stale, temp-regulated air with outside air.

10) Building tight, all-electric, with solar will provide a comfortable, clean, long-lasting house, but it will be quite a bit more expensive. Possibly 30%+ more expensive than using standard contractor choices.
# on_update="nothing": does nothing when an update is tried

yikes. Thoughts on when this feature would ever be useful? Just the thought of working in a codebase with this subtle inconsistency makes me cringe.
Oh, the HN bubble.

My brother hiked the length of the AT a few years back and spent about $300/month for the 5 months it took him end to end He had a great time. Even when new his gear was less than $1000 all in, though it was all 5+ years old and very well used when he started.
One issue I have with that bikeradar article is this quote:

>Undertake your next few leg-speed intervals at the same cadence (such as 105rpm), but aim to remain more firmly planted in the saddle, with your pelvis acting as a foundation for your legs. This will allow you to maintain chain tension through the entire stroke, eliminating the ‘thud’ through the top and bottom of the stroke (the ‘dead zones’) as your chain loses contact with the freehub

Anyone who experiences what the author describes as "the thud" is pedalling so badly that almost anything they do to improve their stroke is going to be huge win. I'm not sure his advice is on point for people who already have reasonable pedalling technique.
I feel like there was a time when you could be centrist and it made you appear objective, wise, open to discourse from both sides (a bit like Switzerland, LOL?).

I think that time has passed though. Maybe it's the extremists that are forcing us to take sides. It's a little too nuanced in today's political climate to say, "I'm a centrist and entertain ideas from both sides … but not those crazy ideas."
And some are contemplating retrofits to replace existing gas lines. Notably, San Francisco.
The link contradicts your statement

> Most Americans support an abortion ban

Doesn't imply the same thing as

> Fewer take the position that in all cases abortion should be [...] legal (25%)
NFTs by definition shouldn't be banned....I get the bullshit being peddled is little more than garbage, but obviously the underlying purpose is better akin to things like deeds and ownership of physical properties via certificate.
Just do one-legged drills for a bit. You definitely pull up when doing this. Transfer the same muscle activation to two legged cycling, and you're pulling up then too.
> Anecdotally my gravel bike is faster with 28 mm slick tires than with 42 mm sawtooth tires.

Out of curiosity, do you know this to be true, or believe this to be true? I ask because the perception of speed with skinnier tires is one of the things the article touches on.

I felt similarly when I put GP5000 28mm slicks on the gravel bike, but when I looked at my ride history, I couldn’t really back that feeling of speed up with actual data, and evidence shows that at least in my case, there was no major difference between 28mm and 38mm.

(Not saying this is the case for you, but I’m just curious).

Also, just as execution doesn't start in main, it also doesn't end with main, either. In C, you can register `atexit` handlers. You can do that in C++, too. In C++, you can also have "user" code executed before & after main by virtue of static initialization & destruction.
Play Your Own Game
Honestly I've no idea.

Off the top of my head, while the severity and scope of this is indeed surprising, the direction is not. Just as police authoritarianism has been on the rise internationally (notably in the misuse of vague anti-terrorist legislation in the US & UK to grant broad policing power in many areas unrelated to terrorism), the same trend has also been present to a certain degree in Ireland. FG have been in power for 10 uninterrupted years and have traditionally been the law and order party. Their idea of police reform when the Garda was hit with numerous misconduct scandals was to install a former-RUC officer as head of the Gardaí. So this is all ideologically in line with the ruling party at least.

Additionally, anti police sentiment has generally been on the increase in the past 2 years so this could be a response to that. Recently the country has been trying to open up post-covid by encouraging outdoor dining, events and gatherings (given doing so indoors is still prohibited), with many initiatives being heavily invested in by local city councils. Those initiatives have been completely undermined by riot police arriving to clear public spaces & incite street violence, seemingly with no communication or coordination with local councils (local councils typically being populated by representatives of parties who are in opposition at national gov level).

So... it could be a lot of things. Or it could be gangland killings.
I prefer asymmetric pedal sides. I have a pair on my gravel bike that have crank bros. clips on one side, and are flat on the other. Best of both worlds!
first off, let me say, for me. I use Caddy (https://caddyserver.com/) and it just works. You start it, it gets a cert from letsencrypt and starts serving https. So it was (almost) zero work to serve with https.

As for reasons to encrypt

1. Prevents (I think) ISPs in the middle from injecting ads, spyware, phishing scams, etc on top of your site.

2. Prevents 3rd parties from seeing what pages the user is accessing. Some people would prefer that other's can not read over their shoulder and see what they're reading.

I know for me, I'm sensitive to that particular issue to the point that I don't really want to use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, etc. I really don't like the idea that they're building a profile of me based on what I watch and thinking they know who I am based on that.

It could be as simple as I don't want it known if I'm reading liberal or conservative blogs.

I'm sure others might have other reasons they don't want a 3rd party to know what specific pages they're reading.

---

ps: I get there are other ways to track me but I'm fairly confident that I'm avoiding most of them via HTTPS, VPNs, Private browser windows, multiple profiles, 3rd party cookies off, ad blockers, etc....
There are freestanding stoves which can be used where combustion-based heat is necessary. Many are aimed at camping or RV use (you'll see them often in VanLife conversions).

So long as fuel is available (propane, butane, alcohol, white gas), this is an option. Note that white gas should not be used indoors.
Yeah, I used FTDI back when they first came out and there was nothing else like it on the market (that I know of, anyway). Would never use them again after that little stunt.
Often. First choice is reader view, which gets rid of most "elegant" impediments to reading. If not available, then zoom. Or sometimes landscape.

The nixpkgs/NixOS packaging of NixOS uses packages which work with the tests of home-assistant. We cannot respect every version pin and if package have none breaking updates we happily update them. This is especially important to get security fixes in.
I'm OK with laziness, but lazy != "lazy DFA". I can't help but think people keep building RE2-style DFA constructions because they don't know how to run NFAs efficiently. The idea that your automata has to keep allocating memory is pretty weird, especially in MT land.

What I'm thinking about lately is sticking a lot closer to the original regular expression parse tree when implementing things. Yes, that leaves performance on the table relative to Hyperscan, but I suspect the compile time could be extremely good. Also, it would be better suited to stuff like capturing and back-references.

Like I said, I suspect I'll be building "Ultimate Engine the Third" sometime in the not-too-distant future (Hyperscan's internal name was "Ultimate Engine the Second", an Iain M. Banks reference).

I probably misread your assertion (and possibly the subtext), my initial interpretation was that the HA folk were saying "We're not getting involved with your dispute, or make any changes to accommodate you: take care of it", which is a fair thing to say to a downstream project.

To me - the subtext was NixOS still wants to do both: have reproducible builds that match HA and honor lib authors wishes. Lib author "rejected" forks, so one way was for NixOS to ask upstream HA to drop the library as a dependency. It doesn't sound like a friendly heads-up to me, from the thread title.
In case readers here are unaware, bear attacks are very rare in North America [1].

You might be more likely to die in a car accident involving a deer on the way to/from your outing, than to be killed by a bear during your outing.

Most knowledgeable folk believe that the best preventative care for bears is educated avoidance, and educating oneself on how to safely handle an encounter [3].

The takeaway from these statistics is not to say that one should be blissfully carefree. Rather, that one should be respectfully educated and pragmatic. It's their territory that we're traversing through, after all. The onus is on us.

It's good to seek mitigations, but it's not healthy to be so afraid. Education is a good antidote to fear! :)

> Done with muscle.

Yes, Chinese muscle, many of whom died in the process. And I think we covered the 37 years of life expectancy during that time in the US, let alone for a Chinese immigrant doing heavy labour at a fraction of white people's salaries. I for one would not have preferred being born in 1865 to work on this railroad. But feel free to voluntarily give up all your privileges at your current job, it's definitely easier to get things done at the labour standards of 1860, using underpaid immigrant labour to do dangerous work. Let's all just give up our rights!

But my point was, the land was empty, i.e. not void of nature, but empty of people making political claims, e.g. like when building a transit line through Seattle. They're not remotely similar projects. The Seattle line of 22 miles you mentioned was built in the same 6 years, with need for far less 'muscle'.

At least empty of political claims if we forget about the de facto genocide of the native Americans that had to go at some point to make the US what it is today. I'm not sharing any nostalgia you may have of construction in this time.
GameCube can play backups from a burner. It requires either a modchip or Swiss with Action Replay. Also a laser adjustment may also be needed.

Bit bang mode is the opposite. The clones work fine. The legit ones don't work at all (completely random timing) except at 3Mbaud (the official workaround), but at that speed you can't keep the buffer fed via USB so it's useless.

Of course, and we sent the largest organization covering up for pedophiles a nasty letter and let them continue to run schools.

What's used in public discourse and what's at large are two different groups.
If I recall correctly, the Central Pacific had to resort to advertising for railroad labor in China to get sufficient labor force (so not merely able to recruit from recent immigrants, but having to induce immigration to get labor). The Union Pacific, for its part, relied heavily on Irish immigrants and ex-soldiers from the Union and Confederate armies.

That's hardly people flocking to the railway jobs.
Speaking of tents.

What's America going to do with the hugh spike in homelessness we are going to see?

Personally, I feel all unused federal, state, and local land should be available for free camping. Free camping witout harassment from authorities? Maybe bring back homesteading?

Yes---there are a lot of really bad, non-livable, jobs supposedly begging for help. I don't see it in my county (Marin County).

My point is the authorities might not be successful in their anti-homeless remedies they used in the past, like that Broken Window civil rights fiasco, or plain out harrasement like they are so comfortable with, like ticketing for sleeping in a park, or loitering infractions until they move on. The Supreme Court homelessness ruling is putting a hitch their usual giddup?

I foresee a hugh spike in homelessness, and would like to see politicians talk about it.

I'm an idiot, and can see the writing on the wall. They must know what's going to happen?

We are not going to just reopen, and everything will be fine. It was pretty terrible before the pandemic.
Maybe I've simply not seen it but it seems odd that there isn't a minification/obfuscation tool that can alter the CSS names to be impenetrable to users.

The challenge would be to figure a way for an organisation, or at least set of pages, to keep self consistent obfuscated CSS (after all you'd probably want the cached content to work without having each one to have its own CSS, which wouldn't work if the obfuscation was done independently by each developer). Something happening at the Prod web server level would be ideally placed though.
It's mostly infant mortality, not labor standards. Average remaining years of life at age 10 has gone up, but nothing like as dramatically as the average life expectancy at birth has (expected age of death for a 10-year old white male: 58 in 1850, 76 in 2011).

At my grandfather's 100th birthday a few years ago, someone asked him (a guy with a career as a computer technician that spanned the dawn of the digital age) what modern technology he would have been most impressed by when he was young.

His answer: modern synthetic fabrics. In his childhood and early adulthood, raincoats were expensive, heavy, thick rubber and still barely worked. By the time he retired, they were thin, light, entirely waterproof, durable and cheap. Along similar lines, it's hard now to imagine life without elastic in socks and underwear, not to mention shirts made of modern sweat-wicking poly-cotton blends.
The long term goal, supported by Let's Encrypt, is that almost everybody should stop "manually replacing certs".

When Let's Encrypt launched, the rule was 39 months. You could buy a certificate in 2015 and not need to replace it until 2018. If you had typical accounting practices a server might only ever need two certificates between when it's first purchased and installed and when it is finally retired and sent for scrap.

Ryan Sleevi and co. fought for two years and eventually got 825 days.

But in 2020 Apple unilaterally announced that they'd decided they didn't respect the line in the sand on this issue from mostly for-profit CAs, and their policy would require a maximum lifetime of 398 days.

You should not depend on this as the last word. I can certainly see less than 100 days being required later this decade.

As to "stronger business confirmation" it's essentially worthless. The client software doesn't enforce stuff you think you read in a certificate, because it doesn't understand it. The SANs can be understood by a machine so those are enforced, but nothing else is.

Example: When you visit google.com, your browser silently and automatically verifies at each step that this is really google.com, by doing effectively memcmp(dnsName, "google.com") for every single HTTPS transaction. That's mindless work so it can get it correct without bothering you. But even if the certificate includes Google's business number and postal address (which it does not) the browser can't match those against anything, they're just gibberish to a machine. It entirely ignores these values.

So: If at any step the remote site can't prove it is google.com, that fails immediately. Suppose you're typing in your password, the HTML form loaded just fine, and now it's just a POST to submit. During that POST the browser verifies, as it always does, that this is google.com. But if the business is now named "Bob's Toys" of "1234 Toy Town, Nowhere" it doesn't know that's wrong, your password will be sent anyway. Most likely after the password is sent, the response is a 30x HTTP code, and the browser fetches a different URL, which might incur a new HTTPS connection with a new certificate. So the "Bob's Toys" certificates was never seen by a human (you) at all, and the browser doesn't know who Bob's Toys are or that they're not google.com, it only checks that the DNS names match.

Only DNS names matter. Maybe you're happy about that, maybe you're sad, but it won't stop being true either way.
