" the most I ever saw in say SF was 5."

Really? London is 6 today, was 7 last week and 8 earlier this year.

I do also concur with the GP that Singapore is relatively mild as far as equatorial/tropical climates go. India, the Middle East, the Philippines and even Australia are sometimes much more oppressive.

The hottest day ever recorded in Singapore was 37c, whereas London is 38c and SF is apparently 41c. Of course, Singapore is more humid (and thus higher WBT) - but it's also much more consistent. In theory that would make it easier to acclimate..... but then Singaporeans seem to run their AC set to freezing.

Which is fascinating, because when I was a kid the drinking age in some places in America was still 18. It had always been 21, but the protesters against the Vietnam draft made it a big point that they could be sent to war but weren't allowed to drink at home so states lowered the drinking age to 18 through most of the 1970s. When I turned 18, Las Vegas and New Orleans were the only places in America that still had that law in place, and since then they both reverted to 21.
Yes there was. There was a bunch of people who say he is. That is context.

> "Where kubeadm created a headache for Raspberry Pi, K3s made things simple with an easy boostrap, low resource requirements and a single binary for distribution and updates."

I'm curious what the headache was. K8S has shipped arm kubeadm and kubelet bins for quite a while.

I also don't understand how k3s, microkube and others claim to be "lightweight". Lightweight compared to what? Certainly not upstream kubeadm which is as lightweight a bootstrap as you can get.

Mostly Monero. Paying for censored content with Bitcoin can be traced back to you and will get you in jail the same as paying via bank transfer.

And Monero is the odd one out here -- most other cryptos don't really help against censorship resistance.
> ...ARM processors instead of highly specialized...

You've got that backwards:

Perseverance is equipped with a RAD750, which is simply a radiation hardened PowerPC 750 - that is about as general purpose as it gets.

Ingenuity is equipped with a Snapdragon 801, which is an unhardened Qualcomm processor tailor made for cellphones. I doubt anyone could know the degree to which it is "highly specialized" for cellphones without first signing NDAs from multiple parties.

I've always found the most impressive aspect of these programs to be the careful engineering that extends the mission life far beyond the original goals. Ingenuity was engineered to die - on either a cliff face or from radiation poisoning, which isn't interesting - it is wasteful.

The logic of Bitcoin maximalists who already revel in dreams that one day, they will relocate to remote islands or citadels while watching the world burn down.

Any human with a moral compass would shudder at the thought of a collapse of Western democracy, but not them: they giggle in anticipation of becoming the new ruling class or at least an exclusive society of mega-rich while those who doubted the Bitcoin religion will have to prostitute their daughters to the nouveau riche.

"Have fun staying poor" is their battle cry. In their twisted libertarian world view, people forced by hunger to toil day in, day out is not violence, but the state taxing incomes is.
It can easily bite back. You rely heavily on the state, you bet your welfare on a hope that in 40 years time, there will still be enough cash flowing through the system to support you. Could work, but Sweden is not Norway with its sovereign fund.

Also, world is not binary as you describe it (high taxes&free education vs low taxes&costly education), there are tons of places which don't don't go mental on taxes like Sweden does, and still provide top notch free education.

Great for Sweden, would not be my top choice of residence and raising kids but its a good place nevertheless.
That's a good point. I think I was aiming at people that dedicate most of the day to travel. If you are working, have social life, got to the gym and just change scenery from time to time (a digital nomad) I would consider you less of a "traveler".
-After WW2, the victorious allies dumped loads - as in, hundreds of thousands of tons - of surplus German ammunition in Norwegian waters, mostly simply by loading up old freighters with the ammo, steaming into deep waters and sinking them there.

The result? We now find traces of toxins in fish caught off the dumping grounds (Mostly in the Skagerrak between Denmark and Norway, but also in the fjord right outside my office on the northwestern coast.)

While dilution is a wonderful thing, I am a bit peeved that my nautical maps still show areas which are off-limits to fishing, be it recreational or professional, due to a metric shitload of mustard gas and tabun being dumped there, with a healthy sprinkling of conventional high-explosives on top just to make sure we'd never be able to clean it up properly.

Sigh.

I find it horribly suspicious crypto, depending on public electricity grids and state-funded internet infrastructure, is being sold as an anti control measure when really, it sounds a lot like a cash grab and a criminal money laundering system.

Why not use banknotes, they re well less susceptible to government control of spending but oh surprise a lot more to control of the cash grab speculative aspect - and hard to carry $600M of them in a hurry after a heist, unlike recent defi exemples.

It IS interesting that prior to 2020 the discussion around electronic voting machines included so much about their insecurity (like their ability to have votes tampered with undetectably). It take very odd bedfellows to turn a company like Dominion into a security protagonist. Furthermore, next election cycle they could be hacked badly and the default assumption would have shifted to “no, they’re secure, you cried wolf last time”.

How is it that Mike Lindell can be right on the topic that so many others were obviously grasping buffoons and liars about?

So many of the atheist arguments are based on assumptions and overall ignorance of scripture. But sadly a lot of self proclaimed Christians don’t have good countering points. That coupled with an overall diminishing faith in western cultures (because as far as I can tell it’s being replaced with other normative values) and we can see that Judeo-Christian values are quickly being eroded.

A Brief History of Disney (2014)
When I was 10, I found a bunch of that legal CP of naked 10 year olds from Denmark. They were not hardcore, but to me it was just pictures of kids my age naked which was more interesting than the adult pornography I had already seen. Now in retrospect, I don't know why adults would have interest in them, and it's pretty sick. At that age though, you don't think about what adults are up to. You're like oh so that's what that girl in my class would look like naked. So for the same reason, it's not right to prosecute a child for being a child pornographer, for reasons that would have been patently obvious to Franz Kafka, i.e. if you aren't capable of making a decision to consent to appear in pornography, how the fuck can you be held criminally responsible for taking a picture of your own dick? (or asking your girlfriend for a selfie)
Put a wrench in the machine to see what happens
Regarding the performance on neo4j: the challenge for an honest and fair test towards this would be about how to properly compare a server-based solution vs. a serverless solution. TiloDB automatically scales up and down without any further interaction due to using Lambdas for all calculations. So would you compare it with a relatively small neo4j instance or with a large cluster? I honestly don't know.
When we started doing this internally for our previous company, we obviously did test the edge cases. After all, we didn't want to create our own solution. For graph databases, the issue here are either a lot of edges leaving from one node or a long chain of edges. The first scenario was still handled okish: response times of around 6 seconds for 1.000 nodes if I remember correctly. The second scenario was a total fail. The problem for the later one lies in the transitivity as a graph database has to jump from one node to the next one and so on.
To be fair though: when it comes to dynamic entities, so choosing which rules are relevant, graph databases might be the better choice - especially when response times don't matter.

The response times provided in the article are for the whole process of searching and returning the entity. The indexes themself are obviously a lot faster - to be precice we are using DynamoDB for storing the indexes, which most times return results in <10ms. Compared to other databases this may still sound slow, but we know that we won't run into scaling issues in this way and that's kind of what matters currently most for us.

Hope that somehow makes sense what I wrote.
Australia is often used as a testing ground since it's part of five eyes and a) people there don't have many legally enshrined rights (no bill of rights) besides stuff like right to political expression and religion, and b) the population is complacent and won't kick up a fuss about the immoral crap the government enacts.
Spot on. GP is completely unrealistic in both worldview and proposed solutions, the EU will quite simply have to learn how to deal with this in a decent manner or it will cease to exist. The ultra-right fringe that uses every opportunity to protect their precious all-white genepool is in for a rough ride.

no OP is actually not wrong. One of the reasons why you have these sideways mission creep of surveillance in a lot of countries is because the government simply does not have the strength to effectively take care of problems right then and there. It's a sign of governments being too weak, not too strong.

"Simply don't have xy" doesn't work when the problem is actually real. The population will always choose safety or public health over some sort of libertarian daydream.

Last couple of summers we've had extended periods where my flat can reach a pretty uncomfortable temperature to work in. I do not want to install AC and have so far managed to counteract it by making sure my windows are open overnight to circulate cool air and by closing different curtains + blinds through the day (one half of my flat gets morning sun, the other half evening sun). This keeps the air in the flat comfortably below the outside temperature, but if I forget to do either of these steps the temperature can creep up a bit and it's not possible to cool it down until evening (and if it's super humid and hot it might not cool that much).

I'm wondering if there's any low-energy or green solutions to this. I suspect I'm asking for something impossible or that the only way to improve this is to automate the blind opening/closing :-/

C, unlike many modern programming languages, requires that you understand how a computer works. It's just not an appropriate language for most programmers, including many of the more vocal who comment here on HN.

If you're writing an app, or scripting together some apps, you don't need C. If you're programming a computer, you need a tool that depends on the computer to do its job, and that means you're going to have to tolerate crazy things dependent on the platform.

This is what they call a domain problem. Very few app developers are involved in the domain of programming computers. Of course, that does not leave them feeling unqualified to comment on tools and techniques of those who are, because they use computers every day.
I would love to see some benchmarks comparing lightway to Wireguard, OpenVPN and other protocols added to the repo. Specially on Battery usage while idle and Performance over a unstable connection.

Also I don't really get this? This to be looks like just the core library that details the protocol and nothing else around it.

Like this is really just wolfSSL + wire format. You'd still have to write the code for getting the data to the server (Handle all retransmission and other stuff), write clients (possibly kernel modules for layer 3 performance) for all major OS, write a server to handle traffic forwarding. And if you're doing all that, one might as well make their own format. Are there plans to release the other parts separately?

I'm convinced that DevOps, for better or worse, is where the money is / will be. Platform is still quite close to the classic Sysadmin from 10-20 years ago. Sure, there's some IaC and pipelines and automation, but depending on the company, it might as well be 2007 and you're wrangling bash scripts on individual hosts.

It seems I didn't know what steel-cut oats were. I've looked it up, we apparently call that coarse oatmeal in Britain, and it's not stocked by the largest supermarkets — only health food shops.

Coarse/thick-rolled oats should be fine soaked overnight, or fine/thin-rolled oats for the soak-in-one-minute-in-the-morning way. Both grades are easily available in the UK. I would tend to use the thin ones for breakfast, and the coarse ones for making things like flapjack (similar to a granola bar).

2. Ability to use the left and right arrow to go to next page in the stack?
> System-D

I initially read this as some kind of successor to a putative System-C. Idiosyncratic orthography doesn't inspire confidence.
They are similar but slightly different. "single" checks that there is exactly one matching element:

>>> listOf(1, 2, 3).single { it > 2 }
res0: kotlin.Int = 3

>>> listOf(1, 2, 3).single { it > 1 }
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Collection contains more than one matching element.

>>> listOf(1, 2, 3).single { it > 100 }
java.util.NoSuchElementException: Collection contains no element matching the predicate.

Whereas "firstOrNull" returns the first result even if there are more, or null if there are none:

>>> listOf(1, 2, 3).firstOrNull { it > 2 }
res0: kotlin.Int? = 3

>>> listOf(1, 2, 3).firstOrNull { it > 1 }
res1: kotlin.Int? = 2

>>> listOf(1, 2, 3).firstOrNull { it > 100 }
res2: kotlin.Int? = null

Python's "next" function kind of acts like "single", except that it doesn't check that there aren't more than one matching element. I wish the itertools module had a function that did this.
