The only bad deal is a crazily reactive interconnected market, which, when combined with solar/wind production, destroys long-term investments.

Solar/wind, when it products, crashes market prices. Nuclear is supposed to produce at those hours too, except that if it does, it sells at a loss; and if it doesn't, it blows its load factor which is supposed to be its strong point. In both cases, because of the destabilisation of the production equilibrium, caused by solar and wind, the balance of nuclear is endangered.

Yet nuclear is needed to deal with the very common lacks of solar/wind. Hence the global result: prices getting higher. The irony is that the State itself subsidies solar/wind, both directly, and indirectly by forcing the electrical company (which is mostly State-owned, and which also owns the nuclear plants) to buy solar/wind electricity at ridiculously high prices, which is killing its balance and forces it to raise consumer prices.

There was no such problem when there was not a market like the present one, and when there was no solar/wind. Production was OK, prices were low. All was going fine. The problem was introduced by a liberalisation dogma that "had" to be applied to everything and the kitchen sink + a pro-renewable/anti-nuclear dogma (renewable is not bad per se, but the consequences of its rushed development have been ignored, despite being very foreseeable).
When I was doing a lot of VBA work like this, I used an OSS tool that would export all of the code and check it into SVN. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me, though, but it's probably hiding on a drive somewhere.

The only reason I buy a new phone at this point is because it falls out of security support.

I'm at the point of thinking of ditching the android ecosystem for the apple ecosystem for my next phone precisely because no android carrier seems to want to support devices for much longer than 3 years.

There are no hardware problems which keep me from using the phone, just the lack of software updates.

The other issue is that we seem to be at somewhat of a plateau of phone performance. My pixel 5 is not significantly faster than my old pixel 2XL.
Ok, I see, thanks.

I don't have time to fix it now, but yes, this is my point:

I'm not against taxing pollution or using tax income to fund research, only against the part where we (Norway) literally gave money to companies without demanding results.
I do wonder how the police get lucky so often.

Statistically, it seems like the police would very rarely, if ever, catch a person traveling with a lot of cash. First, a person would need to be pulled over (granted, isn't that rare), then the police would need to think to search the vehicle (they certainly aren't searching every out-of-town vehicle that is pulled over).

Yet, somehow they are managing to collect billions each year from civil asset forfeiture.

I suspect, without any proof what-so-ever, that police get records of large cash deposits/withdraws from banks and that information is available to them during traffic stops. These kind of cases happen too frequently to be chance, IMHO. There must be some kind of a priori knowledge available to the officers. Especially when they are nicking people going to pick up used cars from out-of-state or something.
Cool project, and cool resultats. As an anthropologist who reads HN as a way to keep abreast of the tech community and tech insights, its interesting to see atlas shrugged as one of the most often recommended books. Interesting and maybe slightly disturbing. HN would make for quite interesting source material for someone who wanted to study tech culture.

The implication is that processes happen so much faster at temperatures over a million degrees that all you have to do is create the right conditions and then life evolves immediately from our temporal frame of reference.

So the analogy would be closer to watching a goldilocks planet from the edge of the event horizon of a black hole.
Surprised to see “A pattern language” on there. I’ve read most of it in preparation for building my house. It’s more of a dictionary than a book but it’s unbelievably useful. It’s just a huge list of little things that an architect would notice over the span of his career. Little things that are important but not obvious. If you’re building a house, another really good book is “what not to build.”

I also recommend “Islamic imperialism” from Yale, “the bomb in my garden” by mahdi obeidi and “nothing to envy.”

Software Development Then and Now: Steep Decline into Mediocrity
The article is about living out of a camper van, where fiber isn't an option.

I lived and worked remotely out of an RV in 2012. There's really no such thing as overkill when you can't have a hardline internet connection but need internet to do your job. Though Starlink may change that.

When I was doing it, I had a T-Mobile unlimited cell plan, a Verizon hotspot, and I'd go into town to find wifi. It still wasn't enough to feel like I could count on internet being there.

While travelling, it's easy to not have quality cell signal (or any signal). "Unlimited" plans never mean "you're allowed to push 90GB/mo through this". Public wifi is hard to track down, has highly variable quality, and you're always working in Starbucks instead of at your desk with your equipment. If you have to stay at an RV park, the costs are astronomical enough that you save money by parking out of town, where the cell signal is worse. Satellite offerings are extremely expensive (pre-Starlink, at least), and don't work if you can't get clear line-of-sight to the satellite.

If I'd been making more money at the time, I absolutely would have invested more in my internet access. And it sounds like today this stuff has more-numerous and better-documented solutions than when I was doing it.

It was easily worth the trouble to live that way for a while.
The submitted URL (http://web.archive.org/web/20090209050149/http://www.etek.ch...) is crashing due to an "internal error", so I've changed it to a different URL which isn't - at least for now.

I'll take what you might think of as a third track.

> Working support must suck, but being first line support in a call center truly sounds like hell

I've worked support, it truly is hell. I reserve most of my empathy for the front line support staff. When things are shit, it's almost never the first line support staff's fault, so it's not fair to take my frustrations out on them.
It’s not that I think it really is lame, just demonstrating the thought process of your average user clicking on a PeerTube link.

Very cool. This one’s wrong though: “Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea”. Comments are talking about other books with “zero” in the tile, such as Thiel’s “Zero To One”. Perhaps parse longer titles first, and eliminate them, before matching for shorter titles? Great MVP. Had in fact been thinking about how great it would be to gather book data from HN myself just yesterday. So am really happy to see that someone actually made it. Plus, it looks great and is fun to use.
Pretty sure that was the wholesale price.
Today TLS 1.2 support is less worrying than it might have been so long as your TLS 1.3 implementation is competent.

TLS 1.3 downgrade protection means that most downgrade attack avenues aren't viable. In earlier versions the downgrade protection was pretty flimsy so it's more of a worry that a server offering TLS 1.0 through TLS 1.2 could be vulnerable to downgrade and then a TLS 1.0-only attack works on clients that could have done TLS 1.2 but were downgraded. Nobody's halfway decent TLS 1.3 client will allow that, if you try to downgrade it, the client gives up instead. Denial of service was always possible, but downgrade needn't be.

Most of this is actual design work in TLS 1.3 but a fair amount is simply willpower from major clients like web browsers. Deciding that OK, if you insist on downgrading the protocol we would rather tell the user the site is inaccessible than allow that.

[Timescale DevRel here]

@zX41ZdbW@ - Thanks for pointing out the various benchmarks that have been run by other companies between Clickhouse and TimescaleDB using TSBS[1]. As we mentioned, we'll dig deeper into a similar benchmark with much more detail than any of those examples in an upcoming blog post.

One notable omission on all of the benchmarks that we've seen is that none of them enable TimescaleDB compression (which also transforms row-oriented data into a columnar-type format). In our detailed benchmarking, queries on compressed columnar data in Timescale outperformed Clickhouse in most queries, particularly as cardinality increases, often by 5x or more. And with compression of 90% or more, storage is often comparable. (Again, blog post coming soon - we are just making sure our results are accurate before rushing to publish.)

The beauty of TimescaleDB columnar compression model is that it allows the user to decide when their workload can benefit from deep/narrow queries of data that doesn't change often (although it can still be modified just like regular row data), verses shallow/wide queries for things like inserting data and near-time queries.

It's a hybrid model that provides a lot of flexibility for users AND significantly improves the performance of historical queries. So yes, we do agree that columnar storage is a huge performance win for many types of queries.

And of course, with TimescaleDB, one also gets all of the benefits of PostgreSQL and its vibrant ecosystem.

Can't wait to share the details in the coming weeks!

30L is 8 gallons. The average torso is somewhat longer than a five gallon bucket, but of course it's much slimmer than a five gallon bucket. An eight gallon bucket, if it existed, would be larger yet. I would question both the assumption that a torso is half the volume of a human and the further assumption that the density of humans is uniform. Obviously the thorax, which contains the lungs, is less dense than the legs, which just have muscles and massive bones with a thin layer of fat.

Sorry it took a while to respond; I got rate-limited this morning.

Murder rate is arguably the most useful crime metric because it's the hardest one for politicians/police to game. Changes in enforcement can change trends for assaults and property crime, but you can't really hide bodies.

It also probably has to do with personalities, and who did what. NeXT was the Jobs thing. So Jobs came back, and they based things on NeXT.
Until we manage to source supplies at a better price point this will continue, potentially until spring returns.

Alternatives are very expensive and has long lead times.

We also lost a 1GW supply from France because they ran it 50% overloaded, no doubt to make the most of it, but unfortunately that overheated the oil cooling transformers.

Replacing that and adding new interconnectors is going to take months or years.
That sounds like a failure on the part of whatever authority licensed the scaffolding work.

Picking one from a quick search: Greenwich, for example, says that "Noisy work is prohibited on Sundays and bank holidays", and explicitly mentions "Erecting and dismantling of scaffolding" in its examples of "noisy work".

(https://www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/info/200205/pollution_and_...)

Presumably other authorities may have different rules, and they may or may not be effectively enforced. But in principle, at least, it's not a free-for-all.
While I was in college, I was the device drivers editor for TUGboat and trying to track all the combinations of OS and output device for TeX DVI drivers brought a lot of borderline operating systems into my awareness. As I recall, there was a TeX port for A/UX. There were also, so many Unix variants, that I ended up having to combine them into a single Unix column in the table and then in the detailed listings, indicate which Unix flavor(s) were supported. Nowadays, when, for all practical purposes, any desktop system will either be Windows, MacOS or Linux, things are considerably simpler.
Thanks. In theory this is the model's fault that's not learning "Zero to One" should be considered as a whole book. One limitation I mentioned in my root comment. Should be fixable with more training data!

Can't believe that their product page is still up. I believe it came about after the 90's MS anti-trust cases. MS argued that IE was integral to Windows, so these devs made a product to strip IE out, just to show that it wasn't as integral as MS claimed. Then they built on it and it became a legit product for slimming down Windows installs.
I believe the GP was making a distinction between jail and prison. Jail is where you are held until your trial or you make bail. Prison is where you are sent after you are convicted. A penitentiary would be a prison, not a jail.

> Yet their prices track each other closely.

If by "track each other closely", you mean prices in Germany are reliably 50% higher than those in France[1], then yes, they "track each other" closely. German energy policy has been an unmitigated disaster, creating by far the most expensive electricity prices in the OECD and of course the highest in Europe, whereas prices in France are below the EU average.

I don't think the US will ever get to 80%, but more importantly Denmark has 95%+ in the 50+ age group, which is still by far the most likely to end up in hospital. A lot of US vaccination hesitancy seems to be in the older population, which ultimately means more deaths.
Everything. Compared to Google Photos there's not one query that isn't vastly inferior.

Finding text in images, finding obscure relationships between a query and a photo.

I mean, I can search for my cars by make! Like, no logo showing, I type in "Porsche" and my old Boxster shows up including photos that don't have a visible logo.

I had out of town guests visit and we went to Times Square. I could find pictures from a specific vantage point by searching for specific text in billboards

The facial recognition is a million miles ahead too. Across all my photos Apple only recognizes a handful of recurring faces. Google recognizes people I don't even realize were in multiple pictures.

I suspect Apple is behind because they're using less invasive indexing or something, so I'm not saying switch... but also Apple Photos might as well not have search once you've tried Google Photos.
I have a thoracic spinal cord injury, I can still move my hands and arms fully but not much else. When I was in hospital people were there for all kinds of reasons. There was only one theme. Motorcyclists. What's more they tended to have cervical injuries thus couldn't move at least part of there hands and arms or sometimes all. I can't ever motorcycle now but if I could that would have been enough to put me off. The tail risk is crazy.
In defense of corrupt bullshit, it's not necessarily a lack of courage that stops them taking on well-resourced targets. It would be much less likely to work, and there's much more money than they'd know what to do with. It would be downright irrational. I'd say that self-interest is a more likely explanation than cowardice.

I find talking to end users incredibly critical.

First app I made for my first job:

The app was made for our customer's partners. Lots of time was spent on layout and how this app would be used (they assumed everyone was a power user).

I finally get it out in the field and talk to the first end users of the app.

They just open the app, immediately hit search, find the thing they wanted, do thing and left. That's it, almost every single one of them did that.

The whole main page and dashboard type experience our direct customer wanted because they imagined their partners were power users, nobody was using it...
