A general note: Arbitrarily cutting and restoring power is a bad idea for a compressor. See the first answer at this link for a detailed explanation:

https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/145791/how-bad-is-it...

In a nutshell, it takes time for the refrigerant pressure to equalize. An AC with a thermostat will have a timer to prevent an immediate restart after a stop.

Another option is to introduce hysteresis into your control loop as the TFA author has done: Use a distinct power threshold from your off threshold. By setting the power on a couple of degrees higher than the cutoff, it will give the refrigerant pressure time to settle.

To the author: I agree with the other posters. Looks the AC already has a thermostat, just no automatic fan control.

That seems like fair criticism. It's not my area of expertise. I'm just here to post the source document because in light of what the study actually claims, the media reaction has been ridiculous.
Programmers aren’t interested in the same programming related topics because everyone is too specialized now. The topics I’d be interested in would be boring to someone else, etc. aside from stuff about elixir which we all geek out on. So general tech topics like dunking on Facebook/apple/surveillance tech and complaining about leetcode job interview headaches get much traction.

French speaker here, when browsing HN I read with an inner dialog that is in English, it threw me off too.
Not social media, I've been around for the last 20 years on all kinds of scenes. I created my Facebook account on 2006 and closed it in 2014.

I used to enjoy web forums a lot, back in the PHP dominated era (MyBB, PHPBB, SMF, vBulletin, Invision, etc). I was an active part of that culture... Had Fotolog, MySpace, DeviantArt, and the like for ages... Grew up as social media evolved and enjoyed Facebook as much as the next guy at a time... I even evangelized for it when other social networks were leading... matter of fact, I reported a XSS vulnerability to them back in 2006, never got thanked for it...

But it changed... It became dark, negative... I felt worse after logging in, and became antagonized by it... So I figured it was me, and maybe I was just too old for it, just like that old pub I used to go, 'its all kids these days'... So I quit... And now more people are realizing the same... Maybe its an age thing... A lot of people go with 'but that's the way I reach my loved ones', bullshit... I live half way across the world and got no problem reaching my fam through Telegram or whatever...

I grew out of Facebook, I guess...
> True. But the market is tiny

Keep in mind the market for automobiles was tiny before the automated production of the Model T, and the market for the personal computer was also tiny before Apple invented it.

Let's not even talk about the smartphone market.
Agreed. This book argues that periods of world history with an uncontested superpower (e.g. Britain or the US) are significantly more peaceful than those without:

https://www.amazon.com/War-What-Good-Conflict-Civilization/d...

The post-WWII era, which coincides with the era of American dominance, has been a fairly peaceful period by historical standards. It's hard to argue with results.
Super cool stuff. I guess time to convergence is also fixed, since the distribution's second moments increase consistently.
I found eating at 2pm and 8pm worked for me. In the morning, if you don't eat, your digestive system seems to remain inactive so you're not that hungry until 2pm. By eating at 8pm you're eating late enough that you'll be asleep before you get hungry and want to snack. This gave me 18 hours of fasting, 12 hours digesting the last meal and about 6 hours of my body burning my fat stores for energy.

I combined this with reduced carbs so when I did eat, it was a longer time before I felt hungry because reduced carbs means not getting the sugar rush and then the crash a couple of hours later where you feel very hungry.

I think those ads are much better. In-page ads interrupt my content, claim my attention when I want to see something else, and distract from the page (and sometimes even break it). Ad-heavy pages are nearly unusable, especially on lower-power mobile devices. OTOH, I don't mind a popup once per hour - it's not modal, does not require me to do anything, does not consume resources and I can easily deal with it whenever I want. Page popup ads are infuriating, but Brave ones never really bothered me.

I can't say I agree...look at the top 60 links currently. How many would you say are "business news"?
It's not neutral. It means "as they say", as opposed to "as we would say", or "don't get too attached to what you think this word should mean, here we're using the meaning as used by the quoted, and we all know that bit everybody agrees on that".

It's a legitimate use of quotations IMO as it clarifies the text, in particular the relationship between the writer (the journalist) and the originator of the message being relayed and interpreted.

You've had a bunch of answers, not sure if this is of value.

The problem is cultural. You will not shift that.

I infer Windows.

Create a scheduled task that starts frequently but not if another instance is running. The task runs a powershell script.

The script creates a FileSystemWatcher tracking the "HEAD" spreadsheet.

On write, it copies the file, appending a date-time.

Users do nothing in particular. But they visibly see backups being created. So they know they can just work on the current file and not rename it.

This is horrific macguyver shit, but it's attuned to the customer needs, can be distributed as a single file that creates the scheduled task, and requires near-zero user behaviour modification.

Avenues of further development: debounce, so 14 saves in a single minute don't create 14 backups; toast notifications using BurntToast so that errors are not silent
I think it's very much the 80/20 rule. You can get 80% optimal performance with 20% of the effort (just use Alpine Linux). If you want the last 20% you need to do the other 80% of the work. (Replace "performance" with "security" and it's the same story). Using unikernels isn't easy, especially with modern software development so focused on higher-level languages. Memory management is a foreign concept. The hype around Rust isn't generating low-level-capable engineers fast enough. Plus, high-level pays better.

Assuming you can actually detect success, that's not really that big of a problem. You can do it in 11 lines by appending:

It'll take while, but the claim is that it optimises on lines, not on runtime.
Reality is Xi hasn't done much to escalate saber rattling across strait, most of the unprecedented ADIZ flights were targeting foreign carriers in the region - trilateral carrier exercises last week in SCS, or just run of mill training.

PRC not sending H6s tasked with antiship to Bashi channels to practice sinking TW carriers. PRC hasn't remotely begun exerting military pressure on TW, most the conniptions so far is from PRC growing military capacity organically on modest 2% budget. Eastern Theatre Command isn't going to stop training because TW likes to whine about ADIZ incursions for attention. And PRC isn't going to not intercept these foreign carrier exercises off her coast regardless of SCS geopolitics. It's too close to PRC shores and critically, PRC simply has the capability to intercept US carriers now, it's going to practice using that capability going forward.

For those that follow the subject, PRC/Xi has been EXTREMELY gentle on Tsai/DPP not affirming 92 consensus. Most of the signals are status quo. Some tourism and fruit bans are nothing compared to how much TW/US has destabilized the relationship. There's a reason why report in TW suggest people aren't concerned about war, while useful idiot sin the west are losing their minds. Because PRC hasn't saber rattled that much, especially compared to drama in past cross strait crises. If PRC wants to cross the median line and make TW shit bricks, they can, trivially by shelling Kinmen and Matsu again, or test missiles in ROC territorial waters. But right now most ADIZ incursions are either normal training exercises or PRC responding to US carriers spung as PRC threatening TW.

Why should they? Because different countries can have laws directly in conflict with each other. Jurisdiction specifies which one actually applies.

Eg. The US says "it is illegal to do business with Iran" while the EU says "it is illegal to stop doing business with Iran"

It’s totally true. I’ve always liked the advice that you should mostly walk around the perimeter of the store, and only go into the middle part (aisles) when you have some specific need (canned veggies, beans, pasta).

It obviously depends a bit on your store’s layout, but I’ve found the advice to be almost universal. The aisles contain all of the junk (an unbelievable amount of junk), and the good fresh ingredients — fruit, veggies, dairy, breads, meats — are around the outside.
Brings back memories…of the time my girlfriend accidentally dumped a glass of orange juice into my fairly new HP41 CV calculator. Yes, this was a few decades ago.

She was horrified.

I was as relaxed as can be. I immediately took the batteries out and ran it under cool water while I filled a pot with water.

I dunked it in there repeatedly and changed the water a few times until it felt it was enough.

From there it quickly went into a mesh bag that I spun rapidly to centrifuge most of the water out.

Finally, it went in the sun while I warmed up the oven to the lowest possible temperature.

Once it cooled down the batteries went back in. It worked fine. In fact, I still own it. It works. Perfect condition.

Yes, I did marry her later. Now I make sure that calculator is nowhere near her…just in case.
After upgrading Firefox, it appears it's on by default on my Ubuntu install. Pretty disappointing move from Mozilla.

Also this setting is ON by default even though I have things like the "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" checkbox off.

Making solar panels is way easier cheaper and more scalable than drilling oil.

Not sure about batteries, but it seems to me given giga factories exist that it is way more scalable than the refinement and delivery process of oil.

Put another way: delivering you a car once every 5 years is way more scalable than delivering you energy in the form of oil every week.

> You’re simply wrong

Specifically - what am I wrong about? As-per HN guidelines specify exactly what I have said that is factually incorrect? Please quote it directly if you can, and in good faith provide sources so I can better inform myself.

I simply disagree that I'm wrong about anything that I've stated here - I have specifically visited a Long Lines AUTOVON switching site; 100% the US military was partnered with AT&T for this. I actually possess first-hand knowledge on this - I've met with site owners.

> I see you’ve added a new culpa, no worries! We all learn new stuff

OK? Honestly I was just trying to be polite and it was less of an apology and more taking the passive road out when we were obviously talking about two separate things. I don't disagree with anything that tyingq was saying - I was just trying to make a nuanced point regarding the partnership between AT&T and the US Military which is directly related to the article that was originally posted. Somewhere wires got crossed and I just decided to bow out as politely as I could.

Sometimes socializing on this site really weirds me out. Please, in good faith: what have I factually said that is incorrect here?

Looking at some customer reviews, I do see some complaints that it doesn't work very well on this model. But still, I should have read the manual. Thanks for correcting me!
Similarly you cannot reverse engineer a car and use that knowledge to build a replica to sell or to mass produce copies for your company to use.

Yes, actually you can... that's why the whole aftermarket exists. AFAIK it is trademark law that prevents you from selling a true replica, but otherwise how do you think all those compatible parts --- in fact many of them better than OEM --- were created?

You can build an entire small-block Chevy and not use any parts manufactured by GM, for example. The same goes for the rest of the vehicle. Even replacement body panels are available.

The main difference is that software has zero cost to copy, whereas trying to create an entire car from 100% aftermarket parts would cost many times more than the real thing.

Show HN: NativeBrowserUndo - freeware library to enable browser Undo
I managed to figure out how to support native browser undo in a simple way. Ironically once I had done it I found out that most browsers don't even support their own native undo very well...but at least you can keep up with them. It's tested on Webkit (works great), Firefox (works great, but Undo menus don't enable ever), iPhone (shake to undo/redo), and Android (how do you ask the page to undo?)

I made a single page that shows how to do it, and designed it in a way that you can easily copy it into your pages. It's licensed as non-commercial freeware.

Love the spirit of the idea and execution! I would guess the “temperature” knob ties to some sort of trigger relay downstream. You would probably be able to tie in a microcontroller of some sort to control it and maintain the process function like ramp up and cool down. But at the expense of requiring to open up that panel.
It's perfectly possible to start building a tech startup while working on it part-time. Lots of good tech ideas can be implemented and tested with a couple grand and some evenings and weekends. If you have the skills to execute you probably earn a 6-figure salary or are at a good college. Probably better to try (and fail) with a number of ideas with a few different co-founders before committing to full-time / dropping out.

Garbage spam page. This shouldn't be on HN. There is a common trend for people to take highly technical subjects do a tiny amount of research and then spam up some page (often full of plagiarism) in order to add bulk to their sites. This is especially common in the "defi / ico" fraud ecosystem.

In this case the article is so poorly researched that even though it says fairly little it manages to make outright false claims about basic facts, e.g. "secp256k1 is a Koblitz curve which is defined in a characteristic 2 finite field, while secp256r1 is a prime field curve"-- which is false, secp256k1 uses a prime field.
EULA doesn't mean anything as it's a one-sided contract. It doesn't allow the user to provide their terms in an input field. So it can't be taken seriously.

Wikipedia, honestly. For background math you may want to rely on the citations or other provided texts but a lot of articles have great examples sections.

They're transforming the control of telemetry to a different option. The problem is that the new option doesn't default to being based on your old telemetry opt-out value, it just defaults to "on" as if you just downloaded VSC. And this leads people to reading all kinds of evil intent into it.

But it's probably not. We've all worked on big complicated products at big, slow companies, right? This is just bad design.
