I have an electric Bakfiets, the granddaddy of cargo bikes, and so far is has been zero maintenance.

It’s built for it too; steel frame, drum brakes, covered chain, thick anti-puncture tires etc. Which incidentally does mean that the rare maintenance will be a bigger job, but it can be sorted at the once-a-year service.

Things are under a lot of strain today. I noticed AWS lambda went down earlier today for 4 of my clients using completely unrelated stacks in different regions, but AWS status page was all green.
> I grab one of my mid-drives. But usually I grab one of my hub-drives. Why? A THROTTLE! Throttles are magic and give you the option of pedaling as little as zero.

Not sure about there, but pedaling as little as zero is illegal in several countries.

Besides, I own a mid-drive cargo bike, and had several hub-drives, and mid-drives are absolutely better:

> Particularly for cargo bikes, a throttle is a major feature. You’ll appreciate it when you’re taking off from a standing stop with groceries or children on the back.

with a mid-drive, taking off from a standing stop is smooth. if not putting energy at all is a concern, one can either make sure that reaches stopping points in a low gear, or just set the engine assist to the max.

If one is so concerned about not putting effort, an e-scooter is a more fitting choice.
In the same boat myself. I immigrated from india to Canada many years ago and since then, Christmas is the only one I can actually remember and usually celebrate. The other traditional ones like Diwali, Durga Puja, Holi, Eid etc are all forgotten to me unless my family reminds me of it.

Again - it's not arbitrary! It's chosen because industrial emissions have affected the climate. There is a very clear reason why it was chosen. That's why we use the word anomaly too - it isn't chance!

Are you trying to say that it's not an anomaly at the beginning of the period in the chart when the delta is negative? I already granted that point but it doesn't matter because everybody already knows there is an actual anomaly due to industrial emissions! The "implication" that the 10 years were "normal" is not questionable because the temperature was normal before! This case doesn't need to be made here because it's been made by a global coalition of governments and scientists in exhaustive detail.

From Wikipedia on mini ice age:

"...a multi-centennial period of relatively low temperature beginning around the 15th century, with GMST averaging –0.03 [–0.30 to 0.06] °C between 1450 and 1850 relative to 1850–1900."

This is within the annual variation I was suggesting and is not comparable to what we see today. It's irrelevant.
Thanks for the tip! Just checked it out. I'm going to give it a go with an existing project. I guess for deploying I nees my build pipeline to have access to node/npm so it can build the right static files right? But I should not need npm in production.
You are right, the book is about base/core of JavaScript and how they work under the hood. I think you already know that then you are well into the path of becoming an expert.

I recommended this book as you mentioned JavaScript Expert. I think expert involves a very deep knowledge of JavaScript itself and how it works under the hood. This is why recommended the book.
Sure, I started using (emacs) org-mode about a decade ago after deciding I wanted to get my notes out of Evernote. Obviously I wanted to avoid migrating again in the future, I wanted something as close as possible to plain text that wasn't in a SaaS.

org-mode happened to tick all the boxes while allowing me to:

* make links to lines from e-books I can click and go straight there

* refer to part of an email

* todo and agenda

* export in a easily to many formats to share with my coworkers or friends

* have some basic spreadsheet functionality (I don't really have need for an office suite)

* inline source code I can eval like a REPL, etc etc.

I probably could have used a handful of tools to get what I wanted, but org-mode offered all that and more. I expect I'll probably use it the rest of my life.

as for this particular project? I'm not a vim user, but it's nice to know that should I decide become one, I've got options.

For those out there using S3 to store their personal backups, I'd like to recommend Wasabi [0] as either a replacement or addition to AWS S3.
Wasabi offers object storage in multiple regions, compatible with AWS S3 API and therefore is a drop-in replacement. The storage cost is $6 per TB p/m, with no bandwidth costs.

I'm not affiliated with them, just a happy customer enjoying massive cost savings.

> laymen enough to want Netflix

Not wanting to commit digital piracy makes you a "layman"? What other options are there? I'm assuming you're using "Netflix" as a placeholder for all similar streaming services, but even if not, there are still many shows only available there that you simply can't legally watch without it.
Used to work on an application that mostly did string manipulation and we couldn't upgrade it from 8 to 9 (or 11). Java 9 got compact strings (8 bits instead of 16 per character) if you used only a subset of UTF-16 (the LATIN-1 charset apparently, which english is). We would have gotten a free speed and memory improvement but the ops refused to support it, even though we did everything ourselves ):

So even if there's a reason to change, people wont do it.

> Problem? There is effectively no taxes on wealth, only income/capital gains

Why do you see this as a bug rather than a feature? Sure, it disproportionally benefits rich people but it's still beneficial for not-so-rich people.

I find it unlikely that there is a system in which rich people don't benefit more unless you create an arbitrary definition of "rich" (I.e. $10M net worth) and tax "rich" people more. Even then they'd probably be able to get around it.

> This system really screws over the middle class and immigrant families because we generally accumulate wealth through income

I disagree. Almost no one gets wealthy without owning assets that appreciate in value.
These are not "middle men". Many of them are the sales people of the manufacturers themselves.

Reliance will hold down prices only till they receive a huge consolidation of sales and then you can expect the prices to jump.

> We save 7TB per mo egress because of Cloudflare's free cache (through Workers) and pay nothing for it.

That's huge, Could you explain a bit more on how you achieve that? I've been exploring Cloudflare cache, AFAIK for anything not cached by default you need a special page rule e.g. for .html, I tried a wildcard domain.com/* and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Are you using workers to cache specific file types?

I don't really think anyone is misunderstanding the word "anomaly". I get what you're saying I just don't think it's an issue.

By saying it is not chance I mean that the word "anomaly" is used because there is an anomaly. That's what appears to be confusing you, that you feel this word is being picked to imply something about the science, when in fact the causality is the other way around. The science has shown there to be an anomaly and the word has been used because there is an anomaly. The fact that it is less relevant pre-1920 is not important because people care about climate risks now when there is a clear anomaly shown in the data. You're focusing on something utterly unimportant.

I mean it still doesn't fully solve the problem, but I've set-up mine so that it connects to both Let's Encrypt and ZeroSSL's certificate chain (with LE getting priority), and considering adding BuyPass into the mix. I know that this isn't the true solution (some proposed a DNS-based system of sending public certificates, which unfortunately can be intercepted if your zone cannot use DNSSEC because your TLD manager didn't bother them).

Samsung boasts about having Automatic Content Recognition[1] on their website.

There was a discussion on HN some time ago, many/all major tv manufacturers suck in your viewing data via HDMI fingerprinting (IIRC) in order to serve up unblockable ads and sell your viewing profile to ad networks. Many tv makers send data to Chinese based servers too, from memory. It’s nuts.

ACME is a standardized protocol (RFC8555) and there are more providers than Let's Encrypt, and you can switch transparently. That combined with the standard procedure of renewing a few weeks before the expiration date lets one handle even a total failure rather nicely.

Some other ACME providers I know of:

- ZeroSSL.com

- BuyPass.com

- SSL.com

(most of those provide free certs in some form, but some with limitations and may then ask for money if you want more features).

Starlink could do significantly better in theory once the constellation of satellites with laser links is operational. The speed of light in vacuum is much higher than in optical fiber. If the data can be routed in space and travel directly from source to destination terminal instead of bouncing to and from ground stations then under 100 ms should be achievable. The light speed limit would be 50 ms (assuming that the data can't cut through the Earth's core).

It's unknown if Starlink will routinely route packets directly between user terminals or if that will be a special service sold only to customers willing to pay a premium. We'll see when the constellation is ready.

There are a lot of options.

Inform 6/7 is the most popular of the parser-based languages, with v6 being closer to a traditional programming language and v7 being a fascinating, natural-language based programming language that is powerful but can be difficult for those steeped in traditional programming languages to wrap their head around.
Twine is the most popular choice-based system, supporting three languages that range from basically Javascript to no-code.

Honorable mention to both 1) Ink which is my personal favorite choice-based IF language and integrates well with Unity but doesn't have a great default presentation and 2) ChoiceScript, which is frustratingly limited (by design) but supports an incredible ecosystem of pro, semi-pro and amateur game writers (at ChoiceOfGames.com).

I assume most people have a cron job to do that. The thing is, if it fails for a number of consecutive times then you won't be able to renew it for a period of time IIRC.

> The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise.

That I came across when reading the Bible in English (the OT later in Latin because Enya, strangely enough, and then much of the NT in Greek). Not because my parents, nor I, were religious, but just because it was there, and I had time for such diversions precisely because I was so not required to study much at school. Considered a bit of a dunce, you see.

Chose my undergraduate university based on it's motto, back in English that's something like "these days of leisure foster learning". Chose PERL because I seem to recall Larry Wall saying something about programmers should be lazy.

And that lead me to a career adminning Solaris boxen.

Ain't life funny!
No problem, since ACME is an open protocol, you can use multiple providers at the same time.

I didn't use them but apparently ZeroSSL and SSL.com issue free certs as well.
These are called digital signage displays - they have rs232 control ports, are a bit more ruggedly built, have a bit more cooling and are twice as expensive if not more than a civilian tv - if somebody sells one to you at all.
A typical retail store - especially a mom and pop store, will only be able to buy limited quantities of products. For instance, 50 packs of biscuits etc.. these sorts of volumes are too small for a manufacturer to ship directly to retail establishments because transport logistics will add a huge cost to each such shipment.

Consider, for example, that a shop in Bangalore needs to buy 50 packets of biscuits for sale each week from a manufacturer in Pune. Each such shipment will cost at least a few 100 rupees for transport from Pune to Bangalore once a week. This will push up prices a LOT.

The way around is for the manufacturer to have a relationship with a distributor in Bangalore and they will ship several tonnes of biscuit packets (1000s of packets) once every couple of weeks from Pune to Bangalore.

This is much cheaper from a logistics standpoint.

So having distributors reduces the cost overall and distributors also take back expired products, handle returns etc.
Point is we both want different things, and doing something "in between" would look terrible for both. A choice has to be made.

The issue is that you cannot obtain rendering on a low resolution grid that is both sharp and close to the shape on print [0]. As such, given this constraint, I prefer sharpness rather than fidelity.

In my personal case, I actually use Linux on a high dpi display, so I can get both.

But when I have to use a low resolution screen, like at work, I would actually prefer a font that is designed with these constraints in mind, such that it looks both good and sharp. For this I like bitmap fonts, but they seem to be few and far between these days. Overly fancy fonts need to be beat into shape with hinting, but then the flow looks all broken. Or else, they're a blurry mess.

Terminus works great for my monospaced needs and Calibri (from Windows) seems to have bitmaps for low size fonts that look fairly pleasant.

[0] I'm talking mostly of small-sized text, like for interface widgets. For larger font sizes, it seems easier to get a decent result even with fancier fonts.

I'm sorry, but why is this new?

x64 calling convention has been to use `RAX` for the return value and `RCX, RDX, R8 & R9` for the first four arguments. Only if you have more than 4 arguments will you use the stack by default.

That has been the case for a long time. For that matter `__fastcall` calling convention on x86 was the same (for two args) with `ECX, EDX` for args and `EAX` for the return call.

Isn't this just fixing a Go specific limitation?

> and validate the new file before committing it to the real location

Controversial take: i think that it'd be really good to have EVERY configuration file have something like that. For example, if i'm working on a long bit of configuration for fstab, cron, Apache2, Nginx, Tomcat or any other pieces of software, i'd want to see whether everything i've written will be considered valid ahead of time, e.g. a "dry run" of sorts. A bit like we have language servers for VS Code, we could have validation servers as well, for configuration.

That said, i don't think we'll ever have that, since it's easier to just write code in an ad-hoc manner, as opposed to extracting validation of configuration as a separate bit of code that can be called from some CLI, not just at runtime, especially since many configuration files allow nested includes.

Regardless, thinking more about models and validation methods would be nice, e.g. XSD. If we leverage type systems in programming languages, we might as well do that at an operating system level - something like shellcheck built in. A validation handler for every file type.
