I actually couldn’t agree more. Figuring out what “small” means really is the key and that thoughtful level of analysis is what’s really important for determining what the right architecture is for a business. I must’ve articulated my thoughts poorly earlier, while I’m not crazy about monoliths, I’m not opposed to them either. It’s the monorepos that contain many monoliths that concern me. Microservices in general are hard to execute on, and even the most successful companies that have realized microservices have monoliths running somewhere in the background. Your enterprise sounds interesting and they’re fortunate to have such a self reflective engineer on their team.
If you have periodic screen caps saved to a folder then it can, however it makes more sense to make your own plugin to Xapian which you can do and share with Recoll.
Book Review: The Emperor (re: the fall of the Ethiopian empire)
More and more services keep going down on fastmailstatus.com. Some that don't work (for me) are still marked as up, i.e. CalDAV. Edit: CalDAV is now marked as down too.
Ah! Now I get why you have those power requirements, ok. Indeed, you'll need a good sized battery to keep that moving for any duration. We have a 'regular' pedal bike, a Christiania older model cargo bike, it did duty for the last six years as child transportation, every day, rain or shine and still runs great (and we are not even the first owner), just basic maintenance. They're very useful. I've been toying with the idea of electrifying that one too, but the arrangement is going to be quit tricky (likely: two front hub motors, it's a trike).
I don't see either high spreads or illiquidity. At least in the US the spread from reputable dealers is under 1% for bullion; slightly more for coins. It is certainly a feasible (and, in current low interest rate scenario, inexpensive) hedge against catastrophic economic problems.
Well, any bike will do wheelies if you have the knack for it :) But if you're wondering, no it doesn't do power wheelies - I can definitely feel the weight shifting back though.

I haven't weighed it yet, but:

The bike itself is 15kg. The battery weights 48g per cell, so at 140 cells (14s10p) that would be 6.7kg, but I'll round up to 7.5kg for the wiring, mounting, etc...

The motor and controller and screen are around 11kg or so. The hub motor is very very heavy!

Summing it all up it's around 35kg. Sounds about right from hauling it around.

It's not technically street legal, no. But I'm far from the worst offender - a lot of people ride what's basically a 125cc with a hub motor on the end, and they're sold everywhere, so I'm never going to get in trouble for it.
The strongest plausible interpretation of "mandates are not coercive" is very weak.
This happened to me recently,

A team I work with sometimes was blocked on a couple of PRs for about a week. I needed one of the team members for something and their lead wasn't doing much to help remove his roadblocks to helping me so I stepped in asking my really basic questions about what they were trying to achieve.

Within about 30 minutes we released one PR and deleted the other. The one we deleted was blocking the other but there wasn't actally a need for it due to some spec change that happened earlier, just nobody could figure out why it was needed or what needed to be finished before it could ship.
They seem to be common in RI and more generally in Atlantic New England. Not sure if it has something to do with state incentives or just a culture thing.
> I don’t know how people can watch ads.

Ads are important cultural information. Imagine not knowing "Snap into a Slim Jim" by Macho Man Randy Savage, or the "Oh Yeah" breaking through a brick wall by the Cool Aid pitcher. The horror.
>Oh, and one last note about capability based security - it works great in lab and somewhat small environments, but I would appreciate a practical explanation of how you would scale up capability based security to an environments operating in 87 distinct countries ...

Most of the advantage of having a capability system is that it allows users to more transparently control what resources are given to a program at runtime. Instead of trusting the application to go pick a file and do something, the OS relies on a PowerBox UI to allow the user to directly pick files.

The closest analogy is that of a wallet (or purse) with currency in it. You chose directly which money you wish to use in a transaction, and that's the most you can lose if you make a mistake. There's no equivalent in Linux, Mac, Windows, etc... you're forced into a situation where you had your wallet to code, and hope for the best.

Users aren't the great weakness we've grown to think of them as, they just have insanely crippled tools.
Ah, I see. From an HN point of view these are pretty much the same story though.

Within conspiracy circles there was a rumor that during the war in Yugoslavia in the 90s, a lot of the kids that went missing were snatched up for this sort of thing. Perfect cover too.

It’s pretty ridiculous that this happens in our day and age that money buys you longevity at the expense of other peoples suffering.
Assuming you can detect what clock speed the device is running at, such an approach should still be able to work on different devices.
Although with newer systems able to process multiple instructions per clock, as well as having clock speeds change rapidly, it probably wouldn't work as well.

MSSQL isn't foss; you pay what it's worth to you as part of the licensing. That's one of the issues at play here, paying for software licenses versus using foss components to build your own saas, and then donating something to the foss maintainers.

A simpler way to say this: What's the average compensation for a developer, and how many hours do you think it would take for one of your developers to build some small foss component? I bet it's more than the $500 donation.

I understand the rational thinking of gold exchanges. You missed the detail about this being confusion on preppers. If the world has gone to shit (nuclear war, zombies, etc), then gold just isn't that useful. If it was silver, you could at least melt it down and kill the vampires with it.

You're attempting to use logic in a place where there is none.

This is utterly false. I've never seen a physical nor online POI specifically say "price includes x% fee paid to credit card processor". I imagine Visa and MC explicitly forbid you from making it a line-item as well.

Like many startups we've struggled with velocity vs quality doing the standard unit test for each PR and full regression tests for bigger changes. But it's never really worked well.

Ran into a blog post by Rainforest's CEO [1] that really resonated with me on why the status quo in testing is broken (it's all about misalignment of incentives).

My team did a bake off and Rainforest was the clear winner. What Rainforest has built is a big technical achievement and they make it look so easy! We're just getting started with them but we have high hopes that we can better balance velocity and quality.

The Metaverse Is Bad
Are you sure that's how Matrix E2EE works? In my experience, to access encrypted chats after logging in for the first time I have to verify the new session by performing a synchronous prompt-verify sequence from an existing session, and I don't remember setting any encryption passphrase at all.

What gives? Are we just using different defaults or clients or something?
Is this essentially the same as AMD's SEV-ES attestation reports, but per-application rather than per-VM? I don't see why any particular transport is required, if the attestation report is signed coming from the CPU firmware.
About 2/3rds of GA has an STC available to burn it.

There's not going to be one single tidy drop-in solution for the entire market. That's why we should tax leaded fuels, and everyone can pick the appropriate solution for them. Some will pick diesel conversions. Some airfields will go 94UL and people will purchase STCs. Presumably some other people will take other paths. And those with the hardest time transitioning can instead pay the tax and burn leaded fuel, still.
Banks close first, for emergency supplies safe deposit boxes are basically useless.
I've always heard the best way to do this transaction is for buyer and seller to meet at buyers bank. Buyer obtains cashier's check with seller watching and hands it over to seller before leaving bank. This way seller knows cashier's check is real, you don't have to deal with large amounts of cash, and nobody's at risk of getting robbed.

Downside is you have to go during banking hours and you have to make an extra trip.

Even if this came to fruition, someone is still the gatekeeper. Many often forget that safe browsing gates access to every domain you type in and will throw up an error page if it's been flagged as malware. The same already happens for side-loading apps via Play Protect[0], iOS would surely have a similar system with Apple collecting samples of side-loaded apps and continuously scanning & expanding their blocklist of malicious apps.

You actually have it correct. When you start with an instruction set designed to conserve power, you don't get "max power." The server chips were designed with zero power considerations in mind - the solution to "too much power" is simply "slap a house-sized heatsink on it."

>Apple doesn't need to have the one fastest laptop out there

correct. My complaint, which I have reiterated about 50 times to shiny iphone idiots on here who don't do any real number crunching for work, is when the industry calls "mid tier" something that apple calls "pro" - apple is deceiving the consumer with marketing. The new laptops are a competition to Dell's Latitude and XPS lines. Not their pro lines. Those pro laptops weigh 7lb, and have a huge, loud fan exhaust on the back so they can clock at 5GHz for an hour. They have 128GB of RAM - ECC RAM, because if you have that much RAM w/o ECC, you have a high chance of bit errors.

There are many things you can do to speed up your stuff, if you waste electricity. The issue is not that apple doesn't make a good laptop. It's that they're lying to the consumer. As always. Do you remember when they marketed their acrylic little cube mini-desktop? It was "a supercomputer." They do this as a permanent tactic - sell overpriced underperforming things, and lie with marketing. Like using industry standard terms to describe things not up to that standard.

I think his response meant in situations where you just need to figure out which project management tool they use so you can log in for the first time, binary questions are the right tool for the job (information gathering). But I mostly agree that, in the big picture, the broad questions are more helpful for solving the complex problem you’re facing.

and nobody is going to say it’s not raining when it’s hailing outside… but I understand if that was just a metaphor. You’re probably asking that question to figure out what kind of clothes to wear, and they would probably infer that. It’s so contextual though.
Agree with everything you said.

The unusual level of hostility the author encountered didn't seem right... Like you said, there's some over-sensitivity, a lot of jumping to conclusions, and hostile thinking from the author himself that led him to believe that so many people thought he stupid. Definitely some social anxiety in there as well, which is fine, but letting that turn into hostility is not.

It's a shame because the articles overall message isn't bad at all. Have the willingness to feel stupid for personal improvement is good advice but he just comes across it the wrong way.
I prefer using “basic” over “stupid”. A basic question is literally about the basics or fundamentals, while a stupid question implies something is wrong with the asker to even need to pose it.
Your Aliexpress link sadly doesn't work :/

It's a good idea to take care to balance the cells. That said, 1A of balance current is very overkill.

I actually ran tests as I was curious. I cycled my battery 10 times at 1C. The parallels only went 0.03v out of balance, over 10 hours of discharge and 30 hours of charge. That's at the top end, so really I had what, 0.5Ah of imbalance, over 40 hours of non-stop use in the very worst scenrio. So the 40mA of balance current from my BMS is actually enough even in the worst situation.

In reality you'll be doing at most one battery cycle a day, maximum two, so you'll actually be needing only 4 mA of balance current!

Because of that I decided that the 40mA was all that I needed and I didn't add any really heavy duty balancing circuit. The one that came with my BMS was more than enough, even though like you I was quite skeptical at first.

So I think you should keep it simple. If I were you I'd solder the balance wires of both BMS's as parallel and go on with my day knowing that whatever I'll throw at it, it will stay balanced. Plus there is less that can go wrong :). But then again, I'm not the one not to enjoy some overengineering

The thing is that when you have as many cells in parallel as we do, for you probably 15?, the imperfections between each cell really do balance out and even with the pretty knackered cells I went with it will stay in balance.
I wish all programs would consider YAML config files. Imagine being able to configure Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbird, Windows.. would make automation such a breeze. Chromium and Firefox has policy files but they are all JSON. I'm not even going to talk about the disaster of Windows automation.
Ideally, a web application firewall is a first line of defense. (If you use one.) It’s effectively an advanced form of security through obscurity. It stops routine attacks, reducing the work of the machines behind the firewall.

If it’s your only protection against SQL injection, you’re going to learn WAF’s limitations at a very inconvenient time.
> There is a lot of rumor and speculation about very benign things.

There is certainly misrepresentation and rumour-mongering in these comments, but not in the article, and there's nothing benign about international money laundering, or more precisely, nothing benign about the people it enables.

> $50 Billion in cash is basically nothing. It's like 2% of currency in circulation.

This is very far from the numbers quoted in the article, which shows two thirds (£50bn) of all British pounds sterling banknotes (£75bn) being unaccounted for, and then similarly one-half of all Euros apparently circulating outside the eurozone.

This article wasn't written by, or from the perspective of, Americans. There's a brief mention, though - $7,000 per US citizen is in circulation. Somewhere.

There are no complaints registered in the article, unless you count the cash mule's plaintive wail about how heavy the suitcase was.

This article is a careful discussion about folks in authority seeming unburdened by the discrepancy.

Even better are ad sections that are coloured differently to that of the main video. A good example here is Chain Bear [0]. Chain Bear's colour style is based around yellow, and here the sponsored section is NordVPN, with a blue colour scheme. Very easy to skip exactly to where the content starts.

The “particularly” here is about the area where there was a particular identified status-quo problem; for various reasons women and children are more trafficked (part of this is that historically, in both internal and international armed conflict, killing men and enslaving women and children has been common, and this hasn't been eliminated.)
About the movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Cuba
Your comment is a bit too polemical for me not to feel that ideological passion is driving it, but I can see where you're coming from, because the GP wasn't really written in the flamewar style. Its tone wasn't flamebait. Nonetheless, the content was. It was the sort of comment that feels perfectly objective and neutral to people who already agree with it—but only to those.

There's one non-obvious link in the moderation logic here, which might help to explain a bit. We don't really moderate comments—we moderate subthreads [1]. In this case I was swayed by the fact that the subthread was 350 posts of especially-wretched flamewar hell.

I often put it this way: the value of an HN comment is the expected value of the subthread it forms the root of (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). This is a weird idea at first—it was to me, at least—because how can I be responsible for what other people do? But when the genre is conversation, and it's relatively predictable how people will react, it's my (i.e. each of our) responsibility not to do things that will predictably generate poor conversation. Conversation is a dance [2]. We need to take the other into account, regardless of how right we are or feel we are. It's not really about being right; there are more important things.

For those of us who tend to think of ourselves as atoms, this is hard to learn, especially because internet posts feel like atomic operations. They're not, though—they're molecular, and the threads are the molecules. To be a good atom, you need to take into account what ions are floating nearby and thus what molecules are likely to form out of what you post. It's not that hard to know this—the dynamics are relatively predictable.

None of that justifies the implication that these people died because they were trapped in the car.
