> I'm surprised that the kernel module was even loaded, though

On Ubuntu, some kernel packages install also the zfs modules package. I think (but not 100% sure) that if they're on that O/S, with those packages installed, then the zfs module will be loaded on startup.

Cams with the shaped required to draw the digit for each digit arm. You can see there's a rod with various cams on for each digit, four of them in total. I imagine there's some sort of slider to engage a cam for the "current digit" so when the redraw triggers the selected cam is the one used for the motion.

Many automata use a similar design to to achieve preprogrammed movements, like writing, drawing or playing an instrument.
I am currently using docker + vscode devcontainers. I’ve ditched every other tool and keep my system clean.

I also wrote terminal util for saving/opening all tabs from safari to/from textfile. Good for context switches.

If I want to use global node program I run it in generic nodejs devcontainer…
Reminds me of how, after years of massive systemwide latency spikes, I finally discovered that XFS was to blame. It was blocking on I/O writes in the reclaim path... so even random processes that wanted to allocate some RAM but don't do any disk I/O ended up blocked. This was on a machine with tons of free RAM (the reclaim was for clean cache).
That’s a good point - mandating Tor usage. The Guardian also provides a Filedrop Onion service.

Though I guess you could also access via Tor regardless, if not for the account creation stage.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if they use it for commercial purposes, what matter here is that governments can force protonmail to collect IPs and nothing else.

Led by Tesla, EVs drive chip industry's shift beyond silicon
It's like saying I could drive 80 miles each way to a gas station despite there being dozens of options within 5 miles.

I get more energy than I spend, but it's never worth it.

Also the gas there is extremely expensive.
I had something similar happen after around two months taking 2mg each evening. I started waking regularly. I Quite for a month then started having a quarter tablet every few nights, and the experience has not repeated itself.
No, the crash will come from a total systemic collapse, caused by the ecosystem destruction we are wrecking.

Climate change by greenhouse gas emission is just the cherry on top. The knife to the eye, so to speak.

Since the middle of the 20th century, we've lost about 75% of biomass and roundabout the same in biodiversity. Our biological support systems are collapsing all around us. System shaped by natural selection are extremely resilient. That has prevented much of the damage to manifest itself in clear signals. But now the damage has become so big that even nature's resilience cannot cope with it anymore and we start to witness more and more systems fragment and fail. See the Great Barrier reef.

This is just the start. Water is beginning to get critically scarce in many regions of the world. The political upheavals caused by the effects of predatory over exploitation and pollution will bring down nations.

And so forth.

I don’t think this is related to the media directly but is more related to the information during the pandemic.

Unfortunately science has said a lot of controversial things, not because it has failed but because it’s a new “thing” and must be studied and examined. So media have reported correct everything but the infos, at the beginning, were a bit misleading, like for the UNHCR with “no mask, then yes mask” or the story with AstraZeneca vaccine or the third shot etc…

Plus the “Afghanistan gate” where all media were reporting “Kabul can resists 3 months” and 7 days after it was in the Taliban’s hands.

And don’t forget all the infos on Facebook and other media, people are getting their infos on socials unfortunately, not because they’re more reliable but because they can confirm they’re theories. I mean a no-vax on FB will receive more no-vax infos due to the algorithm biases, so he will keep getting infos and trust in FB.

That’s not good by the way, we need more great journalists and newspapers!

I think you’ve misunderstood the problem I’m describing, so I’ll see if I can rephrase.

The limit is not how many physically fit in geostationary orbit — I agree that’s fine — it’s that if more than one such system is in your sky (Edit: that is, above your horizon) then you need to care what happens if all the different ones in your sky (above your horizon) target your location at the same time.

In Sweden we got the "datalagringsdirektivet" that says that every operator must keep their traffic for 6 months. VPN-providers are not bound to this law so that's my reason.
True, but it's also disingenuous to imply you're forced to do something because the alternative to that action puts you in legal peril.

In the same way a factory owner is "forced" to comply with OSHA lest they be in legal peril, you cannot discriminate against a protected group without putting yourself in legal peril. Your freedom comes in the form of opting out of activities that put you in that position, if you cannot help but discriminate against those in protected groups due to your religious beliefs then you should take up a profession where that's no longer an issue for you.

If aforementioned factory owner was unwilling to follow OSHA guidences due to a deeply held personal belief then I think it's a much better outcome they see punishment for that until they opt out of that profession than for us to change the law to allow it.

I didn't even think about non-silicon based chips being viable, let alone more efficient. The article mentions that SiC (Silicon Carbide) chips can be 50% more efficient. Diamond based chips can reduce energy loss by one-50,000th of that of Silicon chips.

If we can get these chips manufactured at a reasonable cost it would really help EVs get longer range. And it might even give us multi-day use out of our smart devices (phones, watches, etc.)
I recently received my freewrite traveler and I love this device, I've been wanting something like this for years now and I could finally afford it.

If you're taken aback by the steep price tag: from my understanding that's a combination of small volume and the patent situation with e-ink which has been holding the technology back. Seriously, I'm very frustrated with that; essentially these things haven't gotten all that much better (in general, not talking about volume customers like amazon) than the first time I read about them in what, 2005?

Interesting. Controlling levels of access is a thought exercise I went through a couple of years back. Bought a URL and everything.

I was focused on a kind of dynamic email addressing scheme. I know email is old school, but it has some very positive and flexible qualities. Even its unreliability (small, but non-zero failure rate) sort of feels like a feature: a built-in failsafe excuse.

Re these NFC cards, I’d hand them out just to save people typing my email address, which they sometimes struggle with, but which needs to be typed perfectly. Could pick an even more complicated one!
I'd rather not link my HN profile to github which uses my real name. I went to you profile to see how I could send it to you directly but...there's no email listed on your site or github and I can't message you on Twitter (I guess that's a setting?)

Anyway, while it's FOSS it's not really packaged for easy reuse. You'd need to set up a server and configure it. It might be good as inspiration or as a starting point for your own project though, so you're still interested I can log in to LinkedIn later and message you there.
Then there is nothing for the ruling party to fear and no reason for the ban.
I don't know whether it's truly that appealing to the "masses". Keep in mind that unlike with quick suborbital hops, orbital flights are preceded by week-long training, medical exams and preparations.

You can't just show up in the morning an hour before launch, get some final instructions, strap in and be back home in time for lunch.

It's much more of an investment in terms of time and effort, too besides just the money. The stress on both body and mind is also significantly higher - if you do panic, you can just close your eyes for a hot minute and be safely back on the ground (in the case of Blue Origin), whereas with an orbital flight you're stuck in space for at least an hour no matter what with the worst (e.g. re-entry) yet to come.

Going to orbit on a rocket isn't the quite the carnival ride that suborbital hops are.
In math variable names x, y, z are very common. Same goes for angles with greek alphabet. Maybe we should sometimes replace these with characters from other cultures? Maybe in programming we should start using things like umlauts as variables in short loops...

The confusion factor here is that 'cross-platform' has become fairly synonymous with 'Electron' (if desktop is one of your targets). It is possible to build cross-platform stuff that is performant. In the past I used wxWidgets for the classic Enterprise app that was cross-platform between Windows and Linux. The UI wasn't the prettiest thing in the world (you regularly end up with dated looking widgets) but it was snappy, and the UX was good.

It's continuously astonishing to me that there isn't another workable UI platform that doesn't require bringing a whole browser. Or is the HTML/CSS/JS UI the killer feature because you can share things with the browser implementation (or share skills with a browser frontend team)?
If Gitpod (!) or GitHub Codespaces is down (!) then if your team has successfully migrated towards reproducible environments then mitigation in disaster scenarios should be as simple as

> $ nix-shell

ie. https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-nix

or

ie. https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-docker-compose

ps. Did you know Gitpod is open-source and can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure?
No amount of avoiding memory safety bugs will save you from writing fundamentally incorrect code. Rust stops you making dumb mistakes, and (as a high-level language, this part isn't Unique to rust in any way) lets you create abstractions to stop other people making less dumb mistakes, but will do absolutely nothing if your model of the process is wrong.

The only way to really be sure of that is extensive testing at multiple levels, and ideally some form of verification like a TLA+ model.

I was mistaken to think this quote came from a GNOME dev but then again, a GNOME dev (Benjamin Otte) does seems to have agreed with this so I guess it's all the same.

> So realistically there is little reason for alarm.

I hope you're right and that my fears are a misunderstanding. I have basically started removing any software that has anything to do with GNOME, including Flatpak and Flatseal, which I was happily using until now, because there's no telling what kind of control will be taken away from me. Again, I hope I'm wrong and this is all a misunderstanding on my end as you're saying.
Some may be, but others are realizing the opposite.
hmm. how so? before we rationalize this statement, ask yourself. what is your current skill level in competitive programming? how good is your C++/Python/Java/etc. and understanding of DS/Algo? If all the answers to these two questions are great then congrats, you're great! otherwise... just think about that question, ever felt passionate or enthusiastic about something? competitive programming can be a passion, competition, both of them. if you think it is useless, then passion is useless, solving is useless, problems are useless... competition is a way to keep improving ourselves! improvement sure isn't useless at all isn't it?

> I think people who don’t want to be called gay are homophobes. It seems like you implied that though.

If someone stops doing a hobby just because they are being called gay, that is homophobic, yes. Someone who is not homophobic wouldn't give a shit, and wouldn't view being called gay as implicitly bad.

If people started insulting them in a non-homophobic way, it is unlikely that that would be viewed as a reason to stop the hobby by many people. In fact, in 'nerd culture' the insults are viewed as a badge of honour of sorts -- these people do not stop programming, electrical engineering, and hyperfocusing on Star Wars just because they are being insulted. This largely only happens with hobbies that are considered gay or otherwise 'feminine', because being called one of those are viewed as worse than just being insulted, and the reason for that is implicit homophobia.
