There's a big wikipedia article on the various vehicle frame technologies thru the ages.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_frame

So my commuter car is a cheapie Yaris ICE not EV. Its lead acid battery lives on a shelf attached to the frame, kind like a body on frame by analogy, except instead of bolting a car body to the frame they're bolting a battery shelf to the frame. If they ripped out the battery shelf and embedded a shelf directly into the front quarter panel of the body, then theoretically the car would be a little lighter. Its probably not worth it for a small lightweight lead acid battery. Giant EV battery, on the other hand 5% lighter might be a lot of weight...

Maybe a more intuitive way to understand the difference between a unibody type design and a body on frame design, is to look at old pickup trucks and you can rip the pickup bed off the frame and the truck works fine because the wheels and brakes and all the parts attach to a frame, so a bed-less pickup truck is just a pickup truck without a bed. Now if you rip off the back of a unibody car the entire back of the car would literally disappear because there is no frame, the frame is the body. Like the suspension parts attach to the body. There is no separate body and frame, there's just "the back of the car".

So one way to build a EV is to convert an existing chassis by bolting big battery pack "boxes" onto the frame. There exists a frame of a car and you bolted boxes of batteries to it as an addon. But a lighter way, which takes a lot more engineering, is building the battery "boxes" into the frame itself; there is no separate battery box there's a compartment in the frame that holds the batteries. You can't replace the battery "box" or the frame separately because they are not separate they are the same piece of metal. Much more engineering, much lighter.

I would imagine you can replace the batteries just as easily in a unibody EV as a body-on-frame EV. But you can't replace the rusted out battery box on a unibody EV because there is no separate battery box, its engineered into the frame.

The biggest disadvantage of unibody designs is everything is embedded in everything else so in a body on frame car a minor fender bender you remove and replace part of the body. But with a unibody the whole suspension and drive train gotta go too. To replace EV battery in a body on frame design you simply remove the battery from the frame. In a unibody system there might be a lot more labor hours maybe you gotta remove all the wheels and doors and seats to yank out a substantial chunk of the middle of the car.

Setting browser to incognito means the browser doesn't recognize who you are and doesn't announce that to sites. The rest of your examples are just scams, but browser example has a reasonable interpretation. There is no reasonable interpretation where "unlimited" means 20 GB a month, or "Full Self Driving" means "You have to be as focused on the road and have your hands on the wheel at every second as this isn't legally self driving".
Worse in a certain way as part of the problem are "feature-fat, clumps or over-complicated" web standards every new browser would have to implement.

TikTok Users Watch Nancy Pelosi for Stock Trade Tips from Congress Disclosures
I'd strongly advocate for white rice as an inclusion for carbs. I consider it to be almost magic. When I hit my early 30s, I wanted to find a consistent diet for the rest of my life that would give me the weight I prefer along with the broader mental/health/enjoyment outcome I was looking for, that balance. I didn't want to have ongoing weight-diet conflicts, I was looking for easy consistency to maintain as I got older (I don't want to have to think much about it, I don't want to have to manage it or fight with it; I want it to just work, day in day out, for my lifestyle). When I first began testing out various diets and measuring, I assumed brown rice would be necessary/ideal to get the results I wanted. That turned out to be false, white rice worked remarkably well. Which was great, because I dislike brown rice unless I bury it in seasoning, whereas I enjoy white rice plain.

Another thing you might consider along with white rice is (ab)using one day per week as a carb stuffing day to artificially float your weight a bit, if that's a concern. I've found that injection of carbs didn't cause carb-induced brain fogging through the rest of the week, and I use it to occasionally eat unhealthy things that shouldn't be consumed frequently. I eat a low calorie, low sugar diet that I'm quite happy with, so that optional carb-heavy day is a nice flex point in an otherwise rigid dietary approach.

You can pretty much make the same case for the Internet. "Before I couldn't do X, bcs repression, mass media elite etc. but then the internet etc." The "quiet resistance" narrative is overshadowed by its primary function to make people money.

For the economy to be stimulated through increase of supply, everyone has to lose some purchasing power. Is that a good trade-off? I don't know.
Well, he did compare to Mozart. To pick a rando Mozart piece[1]:

1. Sounds like cutesy little throw-away dance with nowhere near the gravitas of a Beethoven or Mahler

2. Listen closely and hear that the phrases are written purposefully so that the music sounds bad when the musicians choose to obey the repeat signs. In other words-- the music flows beautifully if you ignore the repeat signs, but that flow is broken when you obey them and go back to the beginning of the phrase.

3. Musical jokes later in the piece depend on the players actually taking the "wrong warp" repeats

4. Listen closely and realize that Mozart actually left out the main melody of the piece. (In fact, that melody finally appears only once at the end of the piece)

5. Listen more closely and realize that one of the subsequent main melodies are based off the accompaniment figure for the missing main melody

6. Listen even more closely and hear the striking dissonances and imitative polyphony that is exactly the kind of thing admirers talk about wrt Beethoven, Mahler, etc.

7. Remember that it's difficult enough to write a cutesy little throw-away dance in the style of Mozart, much less pull off all these formal experiments with such subtlety that most modern performances continue to play this music as if it's just a cutesy little throw-away dance

And that's just a random example. For a specific example: if Beethoven had written the Introitus of the Requiem Mass instead of Mozart, it would count as the most sophisticated counterpoint that Beethoven had ever written. (And there are probably more impressive examples of Mozart's counterpoint than that.)

Ah, okay. Google searches suggests the default MTU on Wireguard is also 1420, which would produce an MSS of 1380. So that makes sense.

They should spend their money paying more engineers then, instead of laying off 250 people last year and upping bonuses for the C-level staff.
Maybe for a commuter car. Those are definitely fun parts of fun cars (e.g MX-5, 911 GT3, anything Lotus, S2000).
Fastmail is subject to Australian laws though. Australia a passed a troubling anti-encryption law[1], which pretty much means any tech company can be compelled to render assistance.

CIOs signal hybrid work will power spending through 2022
Indeed. The article intermixes a few very valid points (e.g. web-apps practically cannot be audited because there is absolutely no guarantee the server will serve everybody the same code and delivered code can change with every request) that one should be aware of before using a service like protonmail. But there are better articles discussing things like that.

They are talking about the payment for the email hosting service. Not talking about sending payments to others via email as your comment seems to be talking about.

The idea being that if you want private email then you can’t pay for it with your Visa/MasterCard/AmEx/etc because if you pay for it that way then you tie your irl identity to the account.
At some point big producers like Pixar will probably use something like StyleGAN to extend their copyright coverage. E.g. generate as many variations as they can, which then all fall under their own copyright.

So in the end this technology might not be as "liberating" as people think it is.
Yes. Mostly to high-volume animation sweatshops, aka "soulless, uniform factory production."
Maybe a tangent but in high school we procured some … not grocery store mushrooms, and whatever it did to my brain made me see the universe as a 3d hyperbolic honeycomb lattice. Though until today, I had no idea there was a name for that particular geometry.

I wonder why these shapes show up so frequently in psychedelic art and experiences (anecdotally I’m not the only one who’s had a similar visual, by a long-shot).
Blargh. Me too. I was really hoping this was a deep-dive into an incredible, if beautifully deranged, misuse of Excel.

How Ionic Framework Is the Best Choice for Hybrid App Development?

>I find this dangerous as it encourages duplicate work for minor differences. I would rather not have to make both a GTK and a Qt version of my program just so my users can have the ability to do some basic customization.

Sure, but this fragmentation isn't exactly new. There have always been multiple toolkits on Linux. I don't know what else to tell you, if you don't like it then you can pick one toolkit for your own apps and just focus on that. I wouldn't exactly call this "basic customization" if it requires you to rewrite your whole app so it's fine to just use one toolkit. I understand maybe you are facing some indecision about toolkits, that's normal, you may want to take some time to research them and find which one suits your app better.

>Not sure why you think that. You just put the existing choices as the defaults.

I already explained it, that will be broken if you use it outside the recommended environment as the HIGs won't match. The defaults only make sense on the target platform.

>What about my apps then? As a programmer I want my programs to be friendly for both tiling and non-tiling WMs. This by itself excludes gtk as an option for me.

Well, no it doesn't. You can disable the decorations in GTK. Most GTK apps don't by convention but you can do it if you really want. And you don't have to use GTK, you could use another toolkit.

>As for some apps not built to work in tiling WMs, the changes needed to make them work properly are usually extremely minor.

>Some apps might have some minor issues that can usually be solved without a lot of effort, but even if they are not they don't usually pose any problem.

I disagree with this entirely, the app needs to be designed in a fully responsive fashion to do that. Most older apps aren't like this.

>To be honest it feels like the GNOME team is going out of their way to degrade the usability of their apps (and apps using gtk) for tiled WMs.

I don't know what you mean by this. GNOME is not a tiling WM, so people who make GNOME apps usually do not target tiling WMs or test there. It would actually be the opposite, supporting the tiling WM would be going out of their way.

>Yes? Everything except mutter supports it as far as I know. Is there something difficult to understand here?

The way you're phrasing is confusing. To me it's like saying "every vehicle has four wheels except bicycles". Well I guess you could say that for some subset of vehicles, but I don't understand what the distinction here is supposed to be, or why that even matters.
Normally email shouldn’t be used for secure communication since it is insecure by default. The best solution is to use email to set up a connection over an encrypted channel (matrix, signal, …)
The right way to do this is to police, not block, and by length.
Email is insecure by design. End of story.

Even if you use a secure email service (whatever that means), the other party you're emailing with rarely does, so the NSA/CIA/MI6/whatever still has access to your 99.9% of your email traffic. If you don't want this, then don't email.

I truly don't get why we're having these discussions here on HN.
I prefer Google Cloud, it is more expensive than Linode or DO, cheaper and easier than AWS.

You can use a fully managed Postgres for $30, maybe less. They charge based on the VM size.

Postgres is always a solid choice.
Incognito mode is a standard browser feature, there is no reason to believe that Googles browser would work differently than others browsers. Safari calls it "Private Browsing", should that also be illegal since Apple still tracks you on websites you visit even if you have it on? It is insane to assume that every company that has a browser with this feature would sync it with all their website to disable tracking when it is on.

And often times that wouldn't even be what you want. Often you go incognito to log into another account because it creates a fresh browser instance. Doing that would be impossible if it didn't enable any form of tracking, logging in requires them to track you. Making a sensible way where incognito somehow prevented all tracking while still being functional isn't possible.

I think neutral is a good rating for chat searchability. It's better than video or face to face chat. It's good for recalling the conversations you were part of. It's bad for discovering information you don't know about and you weren't part of.
You're not looking at the full picture. Mozilla's pure incompetence to even maintain their addons ecosystem. Remember when all live addons failed due to a cert failure? Besides dumbing down the browser now they can't even seem to get addons running smoothly. Extensions/addons are a core part of a modern browser.
I’m doing it the other way, using social media instead of RSS! Ok, only half joking.

Facebook is now what RSS was supposed to be, but for the non-tech masses. Sure, I still use RSS for tech blogs, but how do I find about local concerts and events, schedule changes for kid’s aikido, etc? All these small organizations, clubs, bands, artists, venues use Facebook as a way to notify their members/fans.

After some curating, I really like my Facebook. But I don’t use it as a social network, i.e. there’s not much social stuff there. “Loud” friends or relatives they are muted. But that’s where I find out about next concert of bands I follow, which I wouldn’t find elsewhere.
If you're doing this on Linux, you get IPC-related (or worse, process-creation-related) latency. This is not a problem for i.e. occasional weather announcements, but is a big issue when . creating things for the blind. If the speech synthesizer speaks each time you press a key, and you generally need to know what it said to. decide if you want to scroll further or open the focused item, every bit of latency matters. That's one of the reasons why blind people prefer robotic-sounding speech synthesizers; they're usually less CPU-intensive, which increases responsiveness.

If the device you're developing for uses some proprietary firmware, a custom module might not even be an option.
> The remainder of hospital workers who refuse to vaccinate against a highly contagious disease that is particularly deadly to vulnerable patients (such as hospitalized patients) are clearly unqualified to be working with vulnerable patients anyway.

I might believe this if being recovered from COVID counted, but it does not. If those nurses are recovered, they are not idiots for refusing the vaccine.
Really interesting. Speaking as a total noob, if somebody wanted to make thispersondoesnotexist type of program, e.g. this site:

1) how much approx cost will it be to rent the servers to train such models?

2) Can this be done on a home computer running a $1k nvidia card in a reasonable time?

3) Can i use free tools like google colab(?) for this purpose?

I've always been interested in learning more about this field but haven't really bothered because I feel it would cost an arm and leg just to experiment.
Can somebody please shed some light on this?

Even Protonmail [1] agrees:

"Not recommended

If you are attempting to leak state secrets (as was the case of Edward Snowden) or going up against a powerful state adversary, email may not be the most secure medium for communications. The Internet is generally not anonymous, and if you are breaking Swiss law, a law-abiding company such as ProtonMail can be legally compelled to log your IP address. A powerful state adversary will also be better positioned to launch one of the attacks described above against you, which may negate the privacy protection provided by ProtonMail. While we can offer more protection and security, we cannot guarantee your safety against a powerful adversary."

Some ISPs (e.g. AT&T) block outbound traffic from subscribers with source port 123, to mitigate NTP reflection attacks.

Shouldn't necessarily break your NTP client, right? The client's destination port needs to be 123 but the source port can be anything.

But many NTP clients use port 123 as both the destination and source port.

For a while I had a netfilter POSTROUTING rule that would match outbound packets with source port 123 and force translation of the source port to the 60000-65000 range, which had all my NTP clients working again.
Your email operator has access to all your emails, your access time and pattern, end of story. You have no defense against them. It all comes down to how much trust you have.

IMHO, ProtonMail is still vastly better than Gmail, which is nothing but a ads delivery vehicle specifically targeted to you.
