Anecdotally, I've visited Chernobyl and I remember seeing somewhere a few empty cans and an empty vodka bottle. Both looked pretty recent. I've also seen the bus that's photographed. There was something inside, the thing with a cardboard cover and metal rings where you can put pages inside (It's called a "classeur" in French, but I can't find how it's called in English). Edit: as some comments pointed out, it's called a "3 ring binder" or just "binder". Thanks. It was filled with text, with different handwriting. Most of it was Eastern European, though I can't tell which languages precisely. I have a few pictures. The bus itself is near an abandonned farm with lots of farming machines left outside to rust.

I also had the chance of being here a few months before they put the second sacrophagus on the central, so I have pictures of the first.

I think the place that marked me the most was the "Monument to Those Who Saved the World" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument_to_Those_Who_Saved_th....

One thing that I felt during my time here (two days) was how uncanny everything is. The buildings are still here, sometimes with furniture, but anything that you can easily carry has disappeared. All in all it was a great experience, I'm really glad I took the time to visit this place.

Edit: small "fun" anecdote that I like to tell: I was more irradiated during my plane trip from France to Ukraine and back than during the two days here.
>You have to choose between something you can use from whatever device you want

You're being disingenuous. End-to-end encrypting every 1:1 chat by default, as well as end-to-end encrypting <1000 member groups have already been shown to be possible by Signal, WhatsApp, Wire, Element etc.

Telegram is saying "fuck security" to gain competitive edge with message latency. They have no idea how dangerous game that is.

>Telegram made a choice of usability

Insecure features are not usable features because security is the fundamental attribute of EVERY feature. Telegram has footguns, nothing more.

>"Is it in practice a problem? No, it's not"

And what credentials do you have to make such assertions?

>Telegram doesn't, as far as we know, give access to government or other third parties to the data of the users.

Considering the fact Telegram lacks the know-how to implement secure protocols (see OPs article) what chance is there they can defend against EVERY zero day exploit against their server infrastructure? Telegram most likely would never even know they were hacked. And the intelligence agencies that have owned their systems aren't bragging. And even IF Telegram would detect such attacks, would they disclose it, when they know they lack the know-how to prevent the next exploit, i.e. the know-how on how to deploy E2EE for everything.

>Signal is more secure, yes, but it's more inconvenient that both Telegram and WhatsApp.

You can't be serious. Let's take the most basic possible convenience feature. I chat with my buddy over E2EE 1:1 chat while riding the bus to work. At work, I sit down in front of my computer, and want to continue the conversation using keyboard. Signal allows me to do that with zero hassle, Telegram forces me to drop end-to-end encryption.

Telegram's convenience is an outright joke. The moment you want flexibility without losing security, it's garbage. We can thus argue Telegram strongly incentivizes insecure use (come on, just let us see your messages), because nobody, is going to unlock their phone hundreds of times a day to reply to the chats.
You’re should be using a cast iron pan, even on a gas stove anyway. That solves the uneven heat distribution.
Personally I strongly prefer an induction stove to gas, partly because it’s faster to heat up, partly because it’s easier to clean.

But I can’t imagine professional chefs being told they have to switch to electric or induction. You can’t effectively cook in a wok with induction, since the sides of the wok don’t heat up nearly enough.
I mostly agree but I think it’s still a shame that American companies are forced to comply with draconian regulations like this. It’s probably more of a problem for diplomacy and state policy to solve than private actors though.
I would challenge the assertion that Android hasn't had an impact on software support for Linux.

For example, most game engines and hundreds of pieces of middleware are generally supporting Linux now (site note: middleware was IME the worst part about porting games to Linux, only second to the graphics stack), even if just for Android games. Vulcan rendering is widely supported for a similar reason.

You are right about userland though, and what excites me is this might be the first mainstream device with a traditional Linux desktop setup. Even if people aren't going to be running Photoshop, they will run Discord, and they will likely be hungry for other software after that.
> The equivalent between native development and web is not the quirks of a library, it's the quirks of browsers. That's the metal you're running on.

Unfortunately, the one browser causing the most miserability for web developers these days is Safari itself, not Chrome as you implied. It is the only web browser engine that's allowed to be used on iOS devices, and many people use it on Macs since it is able to use all the undocumented quirks and nooks in OS X to smash Chrome/FF in battery usage.

The problem is that it has so much stuff that's outright broken (IndexedDB), is outdated (its developer tools) or just plain sucks (it won't play <video> elements if the server doesn't serve Range HTTP headers, for example - painful if you're streaming from inside a CMS). And that's been the case for years.

Safari is the new IE. Apple should be forced, just like Microsoft, to de-bundle it from the OS and open up and document their private APIs to allow Chrome and Firefox to be competitive!
"Hey man, I really enjoy our friendship but I just can't do Facebook anymore for mental health reasons, what's your email?"

What people are really saying is they know it's bad but can't stop, they can't turn away, they can't say "no, I don't want to participate anymore." Then they blame their friends, "oh I'm just going where they go." I wouldn't want to "lose all digital connection with this person" well why not reach out to them?
Said another way, if your friends and you don't maintain connections regardless of the underlying social systems, are you really friends? I've somehow carted a group of random online people along with me across various networks, fragmenting messengers, good old email, phone numbers, going in and out of contact since at least 2002. The underlying protocols might change but they're the same people. What prevents you from doing this?
TBF, "bullseye" gas stoves, basically induction tops with a constant flame under them and heat radiating out from a central "bullseye" (hotest) outwards (getting colder), have been around for a long time. They're just not common.

Point is it's an unknown tool, not a new one. It would be like asking a French chef how to use a wok and cleaver instead of saute pans and a chef's knife.
"crisis" in UK terms...London is moderately expensive in international terms but has come down significantly over the past ten years as price growth levelled off, Bristol is rising but still pretty cheap (and it is rising because so many companies are moving there), Brighton is expensive but there are lots of other commuter options, Edinburgh (the city I am most familiar with) is not expensive...it is up a lot because of AirBnb, HMO conversions, and the fairly strong economy...but it isn't expensive in absolute terms (you can rent a nice two bedroom place in the city centre for £1k/month) and it is nowhere on the map in relative terms. Buying is a bit more complicated...but, right now, renting in the UK makes more sense.

One thing to bear in mind too, places like Edinburgh and Bristol have huge gaps...you can easily find somewhere in Edinburgh that is £400/month for one person, the area won't be great, I have lived in those places and the crime is usually drug-related so it isn't actually too bad (nothing compared to London, nowhere close) but there are options.

So this is a post about people coming to the UK to do, relatively, high paid work...this is nothing like most big cities in the US, Tokyo, Switzerland, Toronto, Sydney or Melbourne...London is pretty expensive, but it has come down a lot and isn't a "crisis" imo (if you don't mind living outside London and commuting...I will admit Essex is quite terrible though). As an example, lots of people coming here from HK, and (from what I have heard) they can't believe how cheap property is here.
The militarization of the police in the US is a huge problem that is out of control. I was extremely disappointed that Obama didn’t not only rein in this militarization but effectively made it worse. We are now having to deal with a generation of cops who think they are GI Joe but don’t have the training. This is why so many unarmed people are getting shot by the cops, because they start their day thinking they are in Fallujah instead of Cleveland.
Technically Windows 11 runs just fine without TPM, but that might change eventually.
My understanding is that the use of neural nets in branch prediction is greatly overstated for marketing purposes. It's really more that different branch predictors are combined into a single one using a simple function (read: linear combination) that is "learned" (read: coefficients are updated sightly whenever the branch is encountered, based on the predicted vs actual branch direction).
my experience is exactly the opposite. I've got the GE Cafe induction stove and it sears like a champ. maybe try a cast iron skillet so the heat comes more from the pan vs the stovetop?
Note that the BootPolicy mechanism changed quite a bit in macOS Monterey betas, and will continue to do so within the beta cycle.

It's interesting that you don't see the military junta that performed a coup[1] in Myanmar and contributed a genocide[2][3] as a rogue nation-state, but see cooperating with them as just the cost of doing business.

Something is either being censored or it's not. Regardless of the issue, I'll side with the side that is not censoring information.

Nowhere; that's the contextual signal that defeats the implicit simultaneity the English sentence would have without that body language.

Induction cooktops heat up instantly, you may be thinking of electric.
Yes. You can get a tank and have it filled every so often.
> Well, calling it "unencrypted" is equally misleading

Encryption implies it protects message content from third parties. Show me someone who agrees its bad if the third party is some random guy from ISP, but it's good if its some random guy from Telegram LLC.

Telegram is effectively unencrypted, because the messages are by default readable by someone else, like is the case if there was no encryption at all.

Third parties are not just your average script kiddie capturing packets at your internet cafe, third parties are also everyone who hacks Telegram server, every intelligence agency that hacks Telegram servers, and a possible parent company that buys Telegram.
Induction stoves don't have visible coils and heat up instantly. You're talking about a resistance stove, not an induction stove.

"Three ring binder" maybe? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_binder
Yes exactly. It's a solution to a problem.

My point is it is better to avoid the problem than employ a solution.
Almost every day, I use three different types of range: gas, induction, and radiant electric. Of the three, gas would be the hardest to give up. My most-used pieces of cookware are small aluminum pots that are not magnetic (and thus not induction capable), and even if they were, too small to work on my induction cooktop, which doesn't recognize any magnetic base of less than about six inches in diameter.

I use the induction cooktop for slow cooking, boiling, and pressure cooking. Everything else gets put on gas if I have room. Nothing beats gas for output and control.

I could certainly do just fine on radiant or, god forbid, coils. But the gas and induction together are a huge luxury that I feel grateful for every time I use them.

One under-appreciated advantage of a gas range is how evenly it heats pans of lesser quality. Because so much of the heating on gas is accomplished by the flow of hot "exhaust" gas across the entire bottom of the pan, a thinner and less thermally conductive pan will still heat much more evenly than it would on an electric coil or induction hob.

EDIT:

I'm definitely on board the energy efficiency bandwagon. I have a four kilowatt solar array on my house, and I drive a twenty five year old Honda minivan because of the mileage and low upkeep.

If I thought gas cooking was a low hanging fruit on the efficiency tree, I might be more willing to give up the luxury of it. But from what I've seen it's not. It's rather like the highest gas-powered fruit on the tree.
I think I answered your question in my comment, no? It'll make cross platform builds easier instead of the current steps needed for FFI libraries. My experience with cross platform FFI builds are slim but last time I tried it, it was painful (versus Rust handling it all with the right toolchain).
Nah, I’m actually totally on board with big tech censorship so long as the government doesn’t act as an authority to fuse censorship across all platforms and instead acts to ensure that cartelized blackballing doesn’t happen I.e. a ban from Facebook shouldn’t cause an auto-ban from Twitter.

Otherwise, I don’t care. Kick me off your platform. It’s your house and you have a right to not share it with me.
Funnily enough, destroying miners is not going to make mining any slower. Just less energy intensive.
This means I can finally upgrade, thanks! Not having the fans to scream against during my Teams calls was a real dealbreaker for me ;)

The primary purpose of that shotgun is IED/UXO disruption, ostensibly. It's unfortunate that the robots have been used as weapons, and that people aren't in prison for it.
But I think arming AI-equipped drones specifically to kill is a much more worrisome threat.
I've been building a prototype of a relational in-memory database in Rust to replace some involved ad-hoc data structures and in the process, I came across this.

I think that all the state management problems and solutions in all languages/frameworks (react, swiftui, elm etc etc) would be better implemented as a database with
changefeeds [0]/ change data capture [1].

The advantage compared with something like Redux is that it's more general. You don't need to implement an enum with a case for each action and then have a big dispatcher.

All your update logic would be a big switch statement on change feed from the database which would handle all the logic.

The fundamental problem of state management is as follows, if a leaf view changes some data, how does some view higher in the hierarchy learn about this?

I think that this solves the problem better than alternatives or the observer pattern.

Ideally the API would be something like LINQ methods in order to avoid parsing SQL.

I'm still trying to figure out if this would work.

Nice job!
I played around with the UI, obviously the quality of images could use improvement, but you've already mentioned that it's a low quality to keep the UI quick. Although this may eventually replace most 3D asset creation, I wonder if it can be used by 3D artists as a starting point to their modeling work.
Glad you're enjoying it!

I'm not a PBR expert, but I guess that background should be enough to go for it - and that you wouldn't have much trouble filling up the knowledge gaps you might encounter, if any.
But Tesla never intends to support any Full Self Driving on older generation cars. Full Self Driving was sold at the time as being able to "summon your car to you when you are in LA and the car is in NYC."

They probably won't get there with any hardware package in the next 10 years. But this is a present admission that older generation cars are not currently capable of what Tesla considers FSD without a hardware upgrade.
If they did that, you’d risk Chrome taking over and extending it’s browser engine monopoly to be even bigger.

And Firefox, remember, laid off most of the engineering team. The only real people benefiting would be Chrome based browsers, with their ability to spread Chrome to even more places.
You can play these in your browser now, although there's no guarantee how well they will work. Leave a review! The emulator settings can be tweaked individually for these, and the emulator software itself is getting updated all the time, so it helps the admins and devs know what to focus on.

Ask HN: Team misusing sprints, kanban makes more sense. How to switch?
My team uses sprints and I'm realizing our need doesnt really match how sprints work. Nothing gets cut, we end up just moving everything over to the next sprint over and over until the features are complete. Sprint plannings are mostly a waste of everyone's time as nothing valid happens beyond ticket assingment (except everyone already mostly knows what they should be working on)

The only super useful meetings we have is grooming where we talk through each ticket within each respective discipline.

I am looking into kanban which feels a lot more "right" to our workflow. Wondering for those of you who are using kanban, what is the difference, assuming you've done your classic scrum stuff in the past.
As if gas stoves were a primary reason for carbon emissions. This is just ridiculous regulations overreach.

I have a different perspective. Having gas during freeze in Houston allowed us to boil water while the power is out. It not only allowed us to have warm water for taking a bath it also allowed us to boil the water to make it potable as the water was unsafe to drink during that time. Had we not had gas it would have been much worse for us.
Wow - I just started my Rust journey this weekend. Any good projects that are even simpler than this to learn. maybe a basic k/v store?
A common phrase in finance for doing some low-profitability activity that has a big downside risk is "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller".
Mandating interoperability, with ActivityPub and similar protocols, would help.

In the long term I'd like to see a future where it's a normal thing for people to roll their own social media platforms, by putting a Raspberry Pi on their local network, downloading and configuring some open-source software, and the local nodes all talk to each other and doing so gives someone the same level of functionality that they today have with a Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/Tiktok/etc account.

Even if they can't read, a lot of educational games w/ reading can still be interesting. The bright lights and colors encourage exploration and discovery, and when you figure out what the game is trying to say (even if you only know a couple words) it's an epiphany.

Just let them play around in Putt-Putt without your supervision. Or Spy Fox / Lemonade Stand. Zoo Tycoon is also a really good one. They all require reading, but a kid can just bang themselves against it and learn on their own. (If you leave the room).
Possibly other countries (US, UK, Russia, Australia, China, etc) have enough resources to build their own equivalent tools without needing to buy Pegasus.
Surely one can conceive of effective ways to limit to damage the police can do to people short of abolishing the police. For example, disarm the police and they can’t shoot you.
