> Yeah, but you couldn't buy tickets on ITA which made its special sauce only go so far.

I booked tons of tickets over the years using ITA as a basis.

Its not that difficult. Get the itinerary finalised in ITA and then either:

(a) Head over to the appropriate airline's website and enter in the legs; or
(b) Call up the appropriate airline's reservations callcentre

In 99.99% of cases, I was able to do it all online without speaking to anyone. There was only a tiny number where I had to call them up.

The savings achievable via ITA far outweighed the minor inconvenience of double-keying.

The TypeScript types, the prebuilt components, and the code generated by the CLI are total garbage.

It feels like the whole project is written by a junior.

Every time it’s been faster to use Amazon-cognito-identity-js and roll my own forms instead of bashing my head against the wall trying to customise their weird needless shadow DOM implementation.

None of my business, but it seems to me that you are perfectly free to call out anything, the point, as I see it, is that:

is not "calling out" or actually "anything else" that adds anything to the discussion, only a (BTW of difficult interpretation) unsubstantiated comment.
Can confirm…
Not sure - but that doesn't sound a one bad habit, it sounds like you could develop some new ones.
I was just talking to someone recently about how I’m long short on Bitcoin. This sort of event makes me really feel validated on this opinion, and reminds me once again to ask publicly what the longest term options are for taking a short position on Bitcoin are. I’d like to be able to take a 30 year short position but I suspect no one offers such a long short position.
Great job, I didn't know aboug Gigablast and it looks very interesting. Can I give you a small piece of feedback? I just tried searching for myself on Gigablast, and the first results are profile pages which haven't been updated since like 2005. Meanwhile, my own personal page appears on the very bottom of the results.

So my suggestion would be to lower the weight of the ranking of the domain, and promote sites which have a more recent update date.

Send me an email (contact in profile) if you want to follow up on this feedback!
I used old phones with SIP phone apps that support video for this. IIRC it was an iPhone 4 at the time with LinPhone that was strapped to the cot with power connected.

I did set up a local SIP server to avoid going out to the internet but don't remember which one now.
There is another "fraud" which is sometimes considered to be financial arbitrage where an Ebay or Amazon seller sells a product in a country or territory that was intended for sale in another country or territory.
An example being electrical goods from Hong Kong being sold in the UK market.

Many electrical products come with a plug adaptor for the main three types of electrical sockets and range of voltages, obviously due to British ties, there is English speaking manuals but manu manuals in practice have a range of languages in the documentation, and for all intents and purposes the product will work perfectly fine if used in the UK, yet exchange rates & taxes (or lack of) means its cheaper to get the product from Hong Kong and then ship to the UK.

People in Hong Kong ship goods in bulk from Hong Kong so they are already in the UK and then operatives in the UK set up an Ebay account so even Ebay or Amazon dont know.
pyoxidizer is amazing indeed.

Just repackaged my own open source project for multiple platforms using pyoxidizier.

i just want to say, I concur with this sentiment. A fall and "simple broken hip", unfortunately is usually the beginning of the end. Sadly I've witnessed it several times. It just kicks off a chain reaction of events that leads to most old people not coming back from it.
This sounds like they are clones of the tree the needles were take from. But if the don't take a thousand needles from one tree but one needle from a thousand trees to star with, they would have a lot of generic variety. Going via needles would only mean "skipping" one generation of intermixing the genes, but the new trees would be as genetically varied as their origins.
For PhD and masters level, everything is in English except maybe some specific civil engineering courses about regulations. Also, I believe that for CS, everything is in English starting from Bachelors, with lectures in English and small problem classes being held either in German or English (you can choose).
> For those saying “just use commit history”, I once had to sift through 200 commits

Exactly... I think it's a good idea to "roll up" the impact of the changes so that users and external developers can easily understand what was changed without getting too "in the weeds"- raw commit messages are generally the opposite of that.

> GitHub have developed a feature to generate release notes

The annoying part here is that if you are using a branch-based CI auto-deployment (without an "Approve" step) then you have to push the branch before writing the release notes. Anyway I just do `git cherry -v release` or so from `main` (for instance) and paste the results into the Release Notes at the bottom and put my summaries at the top. The benefit of just pasting the results is that Github will detect the commit IDs and link to them automatically. It makes for a pretty good experience where you can sum it up and have the full commit messages for those interested.

With more than 10 years of education term and programming experience, i enjoy to solve any problems through software. I have solid knowledge about object oriented programming and want to challenge my limits in this subject. My overall objective is to develop desktop and web based applications with different kinds of programming languages individually as well as with my teammates.

I am a quick learner. I know the logic of programming which means that even though you need a different developer who has an experience with other programming languages I can work on it and become an expert in a short period.

I also thought it was not helpful that he chose to include the word 'job' in the demonstration comment.

IIRC a big issue with PyInstaller is that the built executables are really self-extracting archives, which have to write many files to disk before they can run. Compared to a real compiled executable, it’s slow and inelegant.

Unfortunately high-quality bundling into executables just isn’t a focus of Python (nor of any other high-level language). Personally, I’ve gone back to C++ for building command-line apps - as a developer I’d much rather be writing Python, but that’s no good if I can’t actually deliver software to users.
Not understanding, "good enough".

I am a hard worker. I was stressed down the years managing a busy infrastructure. I made success too much about me. If the network was a problem, I was the problem.

I now work in education and realise that sometimes good enough is just getting through the day. I can give the greatest lesson ever. This won't stop one of my students making farting noises.

I wish I had more good enough days in saas as networks fart too.
Can someone elaborate on why this seems to be limited to electric vehicles? Or is that merely where Bosch's focus lies?
Maybe it's less about range than having charging available everywhere.
I understand the needs. But to me, I can’t see any real value to squashing other than cleaning local history before sharing the code. Also, and that’s important for me (maybe other people doesn’t care of it) I lose the ability to bisect more precisely. When I know that my guilty commit is a squashed one, I have to watch every modification to understand what went wrong, which takes time for me.

Also, everything you describe can be achieved with a merge commit. As a side effect, when you look at the history, you may be annoyed with small commits that may not interest you. But Git can help by displaying only merge commit (with --first-parent option).
About 25% babies tested have wrong parent. Wide spread DNA testing at birth could fix this issue.
I'm having trouble understanding from the article how do these chips help with faster charging/longer range? Saw the hackaday article but that doesn't really explain it either
How would they not count? “fshbbdssbbgdd built this incredibly valuable thing, but sadly it was done as a 20% project, so we can’t count it.”?
The metric in question might be "labour share of income" and it has indeed been decreasing for a long time.

But it's not obvious that incentives in individual jobs are affecting overall productivity (can one factory worker really make the conveyor belt move faster?). A plausible explanation could be that it's becoming easier (and profitable) to hire more low-wage workers than systematically increasing productivity.
Great point. So if you want that to come out atomically and "clean" you need to rebase the world- nontrival at best. I think that's worse than having multiple PRs around a feature.

But I guess real engineers get it right the first time /s

yeah some people think this has to be done. But duplication can be cheaper especially if you are building the wrong abstraction.

I do think that the required range is much less, especially with fast recharge. What is required is to have more people actually drive electric cars and of course make sure, that there are enough recharging spots.
I remember being very annoyed I could not buy that book in ebook format on Amazon or anywhere else. It was recommended to me for the story. So when I finally caved in and bought the paper version, it all made sense.
For me personally, it is 500km range under bad conditions, i.e., 120km/h speed and in winter. Alternatively 300km range added in about 15mins. Make such a stop after three hours anyway.
Ah bisect is a great use case here.

True that you can achieve it in a merge commit. And I think Github includes the PR URL in a merge commit as well iirc. I suppose my main argument is really just that the always-rebase strategy that was trendy for awhile has some downsides over squash/merge commit /shrug

It is in the example you were replying to. That’s my point.
I still have a collection of original instructions from the mid-70s onward: I'm guessing they are potentially more valuable than the actual bricks that my kids have now outgrown.
i think so.

however, my full meaning probably did not come across in my comment.

while that particular project's author did promote his own software, and criticize other software -- both fair and fine -- his video was _really_ an emotional appeal to give his project a github star based on anti-establishment sentiment or similar.

i.e. it was essentially dishonest, in my opinion.

so, that said, most/all advertising/propaganda is dishonest, in my opinion, and i don't know that we need near purity, but that's my general take -- if you are appealing to peoples' emotions, like a despot or dictator would, and leaning on/regurgitating populist meaningless slogans, then what you are _really_ offering is probably shit -- worthless -- or worse.

so i think videos and examples and MVPs and other things are fine and great -- but for the style and substance of what those things offer, i would prefer to see honesty and rationality and calm discussion and things like that -- not fake diatribes against invisible enemies.

and i think it's ok/fine/good to entertain, and be emotional, and all that -- but i prefer honesty.

so, if you like Chicago-style pizza, you could say, "Hey, our pizza will actually fill you up!"

this is a good/valid argument, imo, and it is emotional.

or you could say, "New York-style pizza is _shit_ because the _people_ are shit because they _hate_ Chicago pizza!"

this is a bad/invalid argument, imo -- it relies on harmful/destructive deceit, and emotion, and in this case, in part because the argument does not make any sense, the argument has to be evil, so that the emotion of the argument overpowers the substance of the argument (none).

EVs contain the by far highest power consumer electronics and are set to become a commodity. Though non-Si power devices aren't limited to EVs, some phone chargers use GaN FETs. In industrial stuff SiC switches are used in some VFDs as well.
You might very well be right and of so these are some good points, but there is a bigger theme here:

Many of us who used to defend Google before now don't.

Some because Reader.

Some because the nymwars/Google+ (the single identity part).

Some because Google shuttered Google+ after they had made it the only social network some of us ever liked.

Some because Google is sucking the oxygen out of markets and then leaving.

Some because of how eager they are to obey China.

Some because of the James Damore story.

Some because search has been more or less broken for a decade and nobody cares.

Point is: there is a limit how many times and how badly you can disappoint/hurt users before even the most ardent fans gets tired of it.
Why do this?

Use that time to read or browse HN or something.

Lets say one hour meetings per day. This means 8-1 = 7 hours of real work. If you work the 8 hours + the meeting, if you ever have to go back to the office, either you will have to work 9 hours to produce the same as WFH (since now you have to sit on the meeting), or drop in productivity and get scolded by a manager (you are producing 12.5% less)
The petrolhead press will never stop criticizing electric cars until their range is 10 times that of a comparable weight of gasoline, and then they will choose some new strawman to battle, like cobalt or grid capacity or whatever. These guys are not interested in a fair conversation.

I wish that government electric car subsidies would be retargeted at cheap cars. I want to drive an electric economy car, not a luxury car. Here in Switzerland, we kind of have that: subsidies are in the form of a 99% reduction in road tax, so that every year you get a subsidy, flashy car or boring car. I'd like to see the kind of people who have to flash their cash (ahem, Tesla buyers) pay for moderate income car owner's road taxes.
The idea is, to minimize losses in the power electronics. That should give a bit of range increase (but not too much) but mostly It reduces the heat produced while operating. So they can be smaller, need less cooling. Being smaller helps with production costs, as wafer space is the main cost driver.
I really want to like KDE3.

Certainly the much greater variety of options, of control are better than gnome shell.

There had been something about a somewhat ephemeral clunkyness that keeps me drifting back to GS. Perhaps I'll revisit now I'm using a desktop more often (as opposed to a laptop).

It certainly lost market share in the wilderness years when they decided to rewrite the whole thing. What was that? Like 10 years ago?
Surely licensing can't be the reason. Firstly, there is no distribution happening here - a plugin written against the Blender API and shipped separately is no different from NVIDIA's proprietary driver for Linux.

The usual GPL issue around plugins is whether program+plugin are a "mere aggregate" or a "derivative work". This doesn't really matter if they aren't distributed together, but even if it did, the question is no easier to answer in the case of interpreted vs compiled code. They are still running in the same process, exchanging internal data structures through direct procedure calls. It just so happens that one is running through a translation layer.

If that translation layer protects you, then you could just as easily enjoy that protection by running binary plugins through a no-op emulator.

And regardless of all of this, there's no reason Blender Python plugins can't use Python native extensions for performance. FLIP Fluids, for example, has a C++ fluid sim engine and uses Python just for the interface to Blender.
I had the same thing happen a few years ago with PayPal, it was completely out of the blue. I've been a user for over a decade.

There was no route of recourse I could follow, that was it, the end, done.

There was nothing out of the ordinary I was buying from eBay, I had a few subscriptions via PayPal, and didn't really sell things on eBay either.

I feel it was an algorithm fail, a bit of code that arbitrarily decides to delete you off the system.

Maybe something we can look forward to more of if we aren't careful?

Not really, like I said I use my 4K at 0% brightness in a sunlit room and it's just right. So even there I have no adjustment options anymore without compromising colour depth. When I have artificial lights on I already need to reduce contrast substantially.

My unlit room thing is only in summer, as I live in Spain and have no AC I need to have the windows open at night. It's pretty extreme and I understand that screens are not made with that in mind but they should handle a normal evening scenario just fine.

There is over $10 billion settled on Bitcoin network per day.
I think general familiarity is a bigger factor.

The news won't stop when some technical or economic barrier is passed (which I'd argue has already happened) but when people generally believe it to be true.

But the news won't stop, because battery, motor, charging innovations now have an even bigger market and even more people will be working on it. They'll just change from "this is the breakthrough that makes EV practical" to "this innovation will make your already more than adequate EV even better and cheaper in a relentless progress of technology".

Maya requires to recompile native plugins for each new version though (unless this has changed recently?). The reason is that the Maya devs made the decision (back in the 90's) to use C++ APIs in DLLs for the plugin interface instead of a C API. Not their best decision in hindsight.

I can't think of any, relative to a FPGA. MiSTer cores are regularly upgraded; an ASIC would defeat the point.

What's being proposed is a board that's designed for miSTer. Such a board would include an appropriate FPGA, alongside memory, a better cooling solution and ports useful for miSTer use.

These are currently accomplished via mods/addons to the generic devboard, which is far from ideal.

I think this article was rather weak.

The double pendulum is not "unexplainable" or "inexplicable behavior", in fact is is explained very well in this very article. It just requires an infinite degree of precision if you desire to simulate it numerically with infinitesimal error. It's (an easily explained) limitation of the numerical methods used, not a lack of explanatory power. It does not contradict universality as defined in the article.

In the same way the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is easily explained and understood, even if expressing it in the base-ten numeral system would require infinite digits.

The suggested equivalence between linear/nonlinear phenomena and inside/outside human perception was also tenuous and poorly justified.
