16" is still lighter than my old T430 and T440p, never had a problem stuffing those in bags. Tiny bezels and weird aspect ratios mean it's not much bigger either.
I love these examples, they helped me realize that I'll often preface "this could be a really stupid question" and then ask the question—even though I'm quite confident I already know the answer—because I had sensed that other people in the room might have been feeling lost. I actually do this quite often, even when I'm hearing two people talk with each other but actually talking past each other.

Also, I just took a training and observed the trainer hear a participant say that she felt frustrated with the process, and then the trainer immediately asked the room something like, "How many other people are feeling frustrated as well?" And of course, numerous hands went up, and it seemed to help show the person she wasn't alone.

I have not found this to be the case. Like any system you need to take precautions (replicas and sharding) to ensure no data loss, but I didn't find that to be challenging. In what way have you found ClickHouse particularly risky in this way?
Well... where to begin?

* it's a 1964 movie

* it's set in pre-revolutionary times

* the students are arrested and/or shot, respectively

* the students aren't capitalists

* there were widespread protests, just a few months ago, and not everyone was arrested

As the son of a life-long truck driver, this comment does not accurately reflect the difficulties of a 1-2 day a week father. While you are correct that truck driving is not unique in respect to difficulties with family life, I would never recommend anyone go into over-the-road driving if they have any plans to have a family.

I don't think this is true. I don't know anyone who would have benefited from owning gold or bitcoin in an emergency. However, my hometown once had its only internet exchange catch on fire, and the bank had a multiple-hour queue going around the block to withdraw a maximum of (I think) $300 in cash. I've also loaned money to people whose bank accounts got flagged.

For those reasons I keep a week of cash on hand, not because civilisation might collapse, but as a buffer if my access to the banking system is disrupted.

VS is great for desktop apps since it has the designer and some other tooling, but for everything else Rider is miles ahead, in my opinion.

Especially when it comes to web. Visual Studio still dies of stroke as soon as someone dares whisper the word "razor" in its vicinity, while Rider has no problem understanding Razor templates and providing full autocompletion.

Not to mention Rider is just straight out snappier. And has integrated terminal without any need for extensions.
It's useful when someone asks things like "will machines ever be able to think?"

And you might say "well, define 'think' ". In other words, that's not that interesting a question, since it is more about semantics than about reality.

Or you say it as Djykstra did, which I think is pretty clever.

And yes, your example about how words differ in different languages does a good job of explaining how this is just semantics. If a question becomes moot in a different language, it is a good indicator that the question is less about reality than it is about semantics.
Hmm, why are you putting the Bosch BMS in series? Is it going to turn off unless it detects a load? I'd simply not connect it's phase wires, but it's possible the Bosch magic won't let that work.

Thankfully I didn't have to spot-weld. I used cells from modem batteries, so they were already spot welded - I was able to very rapidly solder to the spot welded tabs which already had some spots to run balance wire through, and the batteries were connected to each other 3 by 3. Then I was able to solder the "balance" wires which were quite thick at each cell to put them in series and it worked fine.

The pack as it is now does not heat up at all. That's to be expected I guess because I'm charging it overnight quite slowly and I'm not really drawing more than 1C.

I had multiple cells that I threw out - I all ran them through a balance charger and fast-charged then fast-discharged them. Any cell that got warm, out of balance, or didn't hold the expected capacity was thrown out. I ended up disposing of 25 or so cells, but I had order an extra 46 anyways so it didn't matter.

It also helps that I let the cells aside after a full charge for a week or so simply because of the balancing process. Any cell that self-discharged I knew wasn't good. No FLIR yet but I'd love if :)

If you think 70 cents per cell is good, batteryhookup has 35 cent cells at the same time... They were in worse condition at a pretty low capacity though so I passed on that.
Taken to the extreme though, this could lead to neomania. New for the sake of new.

What should we term the quality of knowing not to fix something if it ain't broke?

I think that line of thinking would be the intellectual opposite of PG's (albeit still coherent in it's conjectures or lack thereof)

Because it doesn't really matter how the program calculates mathematical functions as long as the result is correct. Whether it's a function or an instruction, it's inconsequential.

I/O on the other hand is a lot more interesting. They're a very common source of undefined behavior, bugs and interception via custom shared objects. I'd rather the compiler touched them as little as possible. Actually I'd rather not use them at all. I find system calls to be much more ergonomic.
It's, apparently, a couple thousands lines. It could, perhaps, even be made into its own separate tool. Haven't looked at it myself, though.

"“We used a special cable device which I built in Moscow before going to Cuba. We planned to fly the camera between two big buildings in a major street. Because of security and insurance problems we used it in a little street. We used two cables and a small cart with eight wheels and a fork underneath where the camera was placed at the [end] of a handheld move. The secret of how we attached the camera to the cart was a magnet, part of which was in the cart and part of which was built on the camera. From the window the camera moved out about 100 feet."[1]

The camera was an Éclair CM3 Camiflex, which is a beautiful little camera first built in 1945. There are still some for sale.[2]

> We are not in opposition

Yes we are, you are continuously making the argument that if you can give good reasons for coercion, it is no longer accurate to refer to it as coercion. This is false.

Examples;

> For a lot of these companies it's a matter of either they require the vaccine, or they go back to having long lines, reduced hours, occupancy limits, strict mask requirements, and other things that are inconvenient and cost money and hurt the business.

> there are companies that simply are not equipped to employ those people safely.

And many other times.

Further, you're refusing to acknowledge that the vaccines under the vaccine mandates are experimental gene therapy, with the justification;

> Also that paper seems to suggest that mRNA could generally be used as a component in gene therapy. It does not say that mRNA vaccines are gene therapy.

The paper is from 2015, the "mRNA vaccines" were not a thing at the time and thus this paper discussing what mRNA gene therapy is would of course not refer to things not released for six years to come/ "mRNA vaccines" is just a new label on the underlying technology discussed in the paper, which they clearly point out is actually gene therapy.

It's coercive experimental gene therapy. Maybe it's good, maybe it's necessary, whatever. It's still coercive experimental gene therapy.

A perspective from a Heck Reactor prospective: They have repeatedly postponed their return to the physical classroom (maybe because they can't fill a cohort?). Their student Slack is basically empty. They have recently cut their initial deposit fees for new students by 90%. It feels like the brand is dying. I am strongly considering going back to a local state school for a second bachelor's degree.

Show HN: A tool to mitigate against journalism bias
The motivations:

- I don’t like journalism bias, each media would often report events from their own interest & profit.

- Giant news media monopolies would easily control how an event is being reported, I would like to hear the voices from smaller/independent journalistic platforms.

- I would like to read the latest news about certain events and to read things that I am concerned about, not just the news that a news media thinks is important.

The idea & experiment:

- I’m trying to mitigate this by creating a news aggregator that allows the user to select the news sources they would like to read. I expect that news reports from different sources would have different perspectives, therefore intriguing the readers to critically think behind these cross-references and approach the truth behind just texts.

- The ability to create optional keyword filters (AND+OR+NOT) to narrow down the topics to read what matters to the users.

My website is https://www.reader1984.com

It is still pretty barebone at the moment and I am still planning the roadmap for this idea. I’d just like to get more feedbacks not only on the website itself but also on my overall idea and its effectiveness in tackling these problems mentioned above.

Thanks for your time reading this, I really appreciate it.
Regarding the lack of breadth of a 5 whys analysis, there is a fishbone diagram that can be used before the 5 whys to ensure more breadth.

In manufacturing there is usually 4 big topics (person, machine, material, method), but there are many variations that can be used.

Trees or other visual depictions can be used too.

The point is to have some sort of structure and adapt it to your needs.
It would be helpful to note that Intel GVT-g is a dead end with 10th gen Comet Lake being the end of the road[0]. They do not support it with XE and have instead decided to go with SR-IOV.

I'm curious to see if this could be used in virtualizing macOS with GVT-g for 3D accelerated guests. I know that this was looked at a few year ago and no one had made it work then.

Well epoxy is basically just lots of hydrogen and carbon with a few other elements - it could work quite well as a carbon sink too.

The raw materials to manufacture it are mostly hydrocarbons. Maybe we should be focusing on making "green epoxy" instead.

it'd be easier to make the trades of congress people (and anyone associated with inside information as part of the gov't) public as soon as they are placed (rather than any delay like today).

I think transparency is enough, because banning trades is too hard, and probably unfair.

This month, G7 finance ministers released a policy paper on Central Bank Digital Currencies, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/g7-public-policy-...

> When designing CBDCs, public authorities should look to build in ways of countering fraud and other forms of illicit finance by looking to incorporate advancements in technology and/or innovative solutions that may improve the authentication and verification of transactions.

> Public authorities’ powers and use of data in any CBDC ecosystem to counter their use for illicit finance should be set out transparently in national legislative frameworks (see Principle 2) and those powers should not be used for other purposes.

We can expect bank lobbying in G7 countries for new legal kill-switch, data harvesting and analytics powers to "authenticate and verify" EVERY transaction that uses a national CBDC. Since CBDCs are scheduled for deployment by 2025, the pre-requisite national legislation would be needed by 2023.

Would they have to be lying? They could say with total truth that they haven't gotten any search warrants because a national security letter is not a search warrant of any kind. It's an administrative subpoena. Search warrants have to target something specific.

Quote from #5: “Watching a plant return from the dead to push out fresh, new growth can be very rewarding, but sometimes you have to count your losses. It’s part of the process, just try to learn from it.”
Soy Cuba contains lush and gorgeous B&W cinematography. The film opens up with the camera flying over the waters of Cuba; the reflection of the water is glistening in a way unlike other films. I believe they used an X-ray film strip to achieve this shot.

Mikhail Kalatozov has included another impressive shot at the end of his previous work, "The Cranes Are Flying." (Palme d'Or at Cannes 1958) The camera follows the protagonist, then gets seamlessly lifted up by a crane to depict the entire street parading.

While Soviet-era films does not have much exposure in the English-speaking world, there are so many gems, critically and technically. The filmmakers were acutely aware of great filming techniques.

Also check out:

Walking the Streets of Moscow (1964)
- B-roll scenery contains another lush reflection of the Moscow waters

Ivan the Terrible (1944/1958)
- Eisenstein is an ardent practitioner of the montage, and prefers to static camera shots. However, his compositions are very imaginative, and there is no shot you want to miss. His film also briefly experiments with color, and he exploits colored lighting to emphasize the characters' psyche.

Anything by Andrei Tarkovsky
- Tarkovsky is indisputably a master of Russian cinema after Eisenstein. He often shoots in nature, but no director shoots with such rich texture of the mud. His long shots emphasizes the bleakness inherent in the Russian psyche.

The Ascent (1977)
- Set in WWII, the film shows the resistance escaping the Nazis covered in snow and panting in the cold. Great snow photography.

Hard to Be a God (2013)
- A sci-fi story on the immigration of humans to a different planet, the colonizers inhabit the inhospitable environment. Like Tarkovsky, the slow dragging in the mud conveys the dreary lives.

These are recommendations I came up off the top of my head relating to cinematography, but there are definitely many more to appreciate.
Hi, Minneapolitan here. I try not to wade into these sorts of discussions because it is usually unproductive or even counterproductive, but since you have expressed a sincere interest in talking about the facts of the situation, here’s what they actually are here.

The police budget for MPD in 2014 was $145.6M for 850 officers. In 2020, the year you suggest they were defunded, the budget was $181.9M for 770 officers—a 38% increase per officer from 2014 (28.7% after adjusting for inflation)[0]. In fact, that department is ending the current fiscal year $5M under budget[1], and the current mayor has proposed an additional 17% expenditure increase for 2022.[2]

The police in Minneapolis were never defunded. They have more money than ever. Efforts to introduce meaningful reforms (inaccurately called “defunding the police” by some) have also not been abandoned by the city council. We are currently voting on a charter amendment that would replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a new Department of Public Safety. The new department would still include police officers but would be coequal with all other departments in the city (it currently has a unique status where it is controlled exclusively by the mayor), and its focus would be on preventing crime instead of policing people.

On the other hand, other parts of the city budget are underwater due to hundreds of former officers quitting and claiming PTSD[3], and the officers who remain are engaged in an intentional work slowdown[4] while blaming others[5] for what is a largely self-inflicted wound.

What I think the other participant in this discussion was suggesting—and something that I would echo—is that your sources for news don’t seem to be giving you accurate information and you may want to reconsider using them as primary sources, at least on this topic.
