This seems plausible as the group-volume feature isn't unique to Sonos (and predates them), however their specific means of implementing it likely is unique and patentable.
It sounds like you disagree with the calculations Robotbeat presented in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29842105, but it is unclear whether that is because you have done calculations of your own. Please elaborate.

Robotbeat's calculations seem to show that producing all of the US's nitrogen fertilizer through electrolysis would use something like 5% of US electricity production, which would not be a major obstacle to "maintaining anything like our current lifestyle", and presumably the numbers in other countries are even better, except for the Netherlands.
Kazakh Protesters Try to Make Their Voices Heard Amid the Chaos
A theory of Software Project Management:

Working Features are all that matters.

Working Features can be measured through automated tests.

A Working Feature is complete if the set of tests that "verify" it are passing.

The tests are tagged as verifying that feature, and likely include integration, performance and UI tests as well as unit.

Honestly it does not matter if the tests are written before or after the code. (Its really hard to write tests for a UI element that does not exist yet.)

How can I tell if people are working on the feature I want them to?

You can read the code. But otherwise you cant.
In short, CPU designers gave us the choice, whereas Rust only gives us "the Rust way or the highway".
look at companies like dataminr or plenty - they have taken over a billion dollars in funding afaik. That level of cash is pretty rare for successful companies from what I see. 100M is a lot too though - i don't disagree.
Unfortunately, from my understanding, hardware innovation seems to be on a trajectory whereby it is exactly going toward the case that most functionality is "soft" and thereby fundamental changes can be wrought through microcode. Just look at Nvidia's use of FALCON's. Hardware manufacturers seemingly WANT to be able to use the same piece of hardware for different jobs, and having blobs tooled to reconfigure it is the way to go.

My biggest problem is that figuring this state of affairs out is like pulling teeth.

What's the cause, and what's the effect? I reach for Perl when I have that kind of a problem, because Perl makes it easier than anything else I've ever seen. Does Perl push me to program that way? Or is it the kind of problem that I program in Perl that pushes me to program that way?
During high school in the 80's I had a car that I had not yet realized was leaking gas slowly. Of course, I did run out of gas on my way home from work. Of course, I didn't have my wallet.

I guess since it was the late 80's, instead of calling someone for help I just asked a stranger for $0.25 to use the phone. I went inside and prepaid $0.25 worth of gas - about 1/4 gallon at the time. The cashier didn't even flinch. I literally pumped it into a plastic bottle I found, walked to my car and gassed it up.

I made it home and grabbed my wallet and decided to see if it had enough gas to make it to the gas station. It did. All better.
It'd be neat if the test

1. used a fuzzy autocorrect of the same kind mobile OSes and word processors have (not correcting to the known text, but instead only doing what such logic usually does — only attempting to correct words if they're not recognized as words; and only moving them to the lowest-Levenstein-distance match.)

2. treated words that are correct after autocorrection as being "correct", with no ding to accuracy.

Since accuracy is about how much extra time and effort the human typist has to spend to get the text correct, and since text that can be auto-corrected requires zero human time and effort to correct, it shouldn't really be considered incorrect.

Or, to put that another way: if I'm typing really fast on my phone's keyboard, and all the right words are ending up on the screen, what does it matter if I'm hitting the right keys with my thumbs? It's the WPM and accuracy of the cybernetic system composed of me + the auto-correct that matters.

In that sense, you can sort of think of an auto-correct as actually being a very similar thing to a stenographic keyboard (at least, in the hands of a person who knows how to take advantage of it): it's really a system to enable accelerated typing, by allowing you to key in the letters of a word out-of-order or simultaneously and have the word come out in-order.

I mean, if you’re ultimately going to combine the list into a string anyway it’s no big deal.

Along those lines. I wonder how many of these come from ad-hoc file path handling instead of using pathlib.
It's a holdover from C, where implicit string literal concatenation is very useful in the preprocessor.
What I'm doing looks like this.[1] That's frantically loading and unloading textures at different resolutions as the camera moves to stay within GPU memory limits, but you don't see that happening. (It's running at about 60FPS, but the video capture program, Kazaam, doesn't capture in sync with the graphics card, which is why there's some tearing in the videos. Switching to OBS for capture.)

A rendering library I use added an 'async' framework, but it turns out using it is not going to be mandatory. Much relieved.

There are many modern things that run software, are connected to internet even if they shouldn't be and are tiny by modern standards. Just because something runs on servers doesn't mean that it doesn't run on processors that are just enough to run a minimal version of Linux kernel.

MS clearly sabotaged Dr. Dos. Microsoft was notorious for announcing a competitor to a product (which was vapor), then buying out the now-struggling competitor and releasing that as their new product.

Apple did the same with Sherlock (it's even a verb).

But Microsoft had a monopoly (confirmed by a long federal antitrust lawsuit), and Apple did not, so Microsoft rightly gets the blame.
Well in general people kind of know which buildings are important and we are not talking medieval castles that require massive upfront planning to besiege, they probably just walked in and took them over.

Elasticity certainly could be improved by allowing nurses to return to work (those that have been terminated). OR! By increasing wages commensurate with workloads, instead of offering contract nurses 2-3x the normal rate.
Your comment is shallow and belies the fact you haven't considered the problem at all, at least not honestly. You have drawn a conclusion because it sounds simple and easy and want to shame people into compliance. It's a tired tactic of late. The standard of care (that's a legal thingy, look it up) for people arriving to hospitals with mild SarsCov2 infection is to be sent HOME until symptoms worsen. This hasn't been altered as far as I can find. No treatment, zero prophylaxis.
If you are interested in why hospitals look the way they do, scratch a bit deeper & and don't come parrot the propaganda we've been choking on for two years.
Implicit concatenation sure seems implicit to me
In some places in California's Central Valley, the rivers are usually dry, for much of the year; and even when there is water in them, the dry up at some point well before the maps says it does. Just sayin'
The Healthcare system is not even close to crumbling, even in Quebec where 150% bed occupation rates were normal even before covid.

They should have been designed and planned with deidentification with the expectation that data would be released.

If they are literally manually redacting patient data from pages and notes then that is a flaw in the study, I think.

I would expect patient data to be pretty limited in the trial data since they are purposefully double blind. Notes are a different story, but I’m sure there are techniques that can be purchased for entity resolution that can automate the scrubbing for PHI and PII.

Seems more like the FDA and Pfizer being silly than the judge.

Wow, that's quite a discussion. I'll be sure to make time to read it in its entirety.
Being POSIX compliant never prevented an OS from having excellent multimedia capabilities. Perhaps Commodore management didn't see the value of a Unix-like OS for a home computer back then and, when they saw it, with the 3000/UX, it was way too late for the 68K.
Technically, Coca-Cola puts in a coca leaf extract that is produced by Stepan Company. They are the ones who have the only license to import coca leaves in the US and they use them to make medical cocaine. The extract they sell to Coca-Cola comes after all the good stuff is gone. Coca-Cola never touches the leaves.

> you don't litter, dump used oil down the toilet, buy conflict diamonds and complain when Nike gets caught using sweatshop labor

Funny, the first three are covered by laws and regulations - local and international. I'm less certain about the conflict diamonds, but I believe there are regulations around those too.

> Saying the only lever we have is regulation is just saying the only lever we have is violence but with an extra intermediary steps

That's because there are enough people who value money and power that they will never do the right thing unless forced. The tragedy of the commons, as it is.

The Meditations on Moloch paper covers quite a bit of this.
I'm not looking into conspiracy theories. The situation is what it is.

Is this a troll comment? That's not even close to the same thing. Rsync and scp copy data from one computer to another in one direction. Scp would require you replacing entire directories. Both rsync and scp would need to be ran manually be the user.

Sshfs doesn't sync files. You go offline and your files are gone.
In which case you bring another computer, and if necessary another monitor and replace the real one. There's always a way if you truly want to.

Of course, I guess this is how you do end up with a paranoid IT department.
I'm also not a patent lawyer, but for example the multi-room volume control patent specifically covers a mesh network of independent playback devices that can be dynamically rearranged into possibly overlapping zones, with the volume controls being on a separate device in the local network.

I would be surprised if that already existed in the 90s? I'd actually already be surprised if network-connected speakers were around back then, let alone all the mesh networking stuff.
It's a class of error that would be caught by even the most basic testing. A better title for the article is that 5% of 666 Python repos have typos that demonstrate the code in them that is completely untested. It doesn't matter which language it is: untested code is untested code in any language.
Craigslist went from 50 employees in 2017 to 407 today, and I wonder if that's partly responsible for its decline. Facebook Marketplace was probably the last straw, but a smaller Craigslist might have been able to pivot and innovate ahead of them.

Back in the 90s, I always wanted to be in a small startup that was mostly open source or maybe part of a software developer guild that pooled resources with other startups. Then every time a startup won the internet lottery, it would invest the proceeds into the local community or pay into UBI.

But even today, there's no way to come up with the roughly $24,000 per year it costs to live in the rural US, so we all still work for the mega corps in one way or another, saving for a day we might free ourselves which never comes.

I'd say unexpected behavior is always worse than expected one.

Yes, you'll certainly find somebody who doesn't know what 'not statically typed' means, but ... And yes, there are also C(++) users, that expect strings to be concatenated like that.
Research from ~20 years ago forecast this result, I'm not sure it's entirely unexpected, although the focus in those studies was on air temperature alone:

> Because of the loss of life, damage to crops and vegetation in general and the impact on water supplies, these recent heat waves have stimulated much interest in their climatological features, recurrence times, and, especially, whether they are a portent of greenhouse-induced climatic change. For example, Trigo et al. (2005) state that the hot summer of 2003 in Europe exceeded any over the past 500 yr, and Schär et al. (2004) claim that this event was statistically very unlikely, and was also consistent with results from climatic change simulations. Stott et al. (2004) estimate that past anthropogenic influences doubled the probability of the occurrence of the 2003 heat wave. More intense and frequent heat waves are also predicted by Meehl and Tebaldi (2004) and Beniston (2004) on the basis of greenhouse simulations.[1]

In the climate science literature, there's a recent focus on the humidity factor:

> Recent studies have pointed to a growing concern on increasing heat stress considering humidity effects as well as extreme temperatures. Kang and Eltahir emphasized the important role of humidity, and pointed out that North China Plain is likely to experience deadly heat waves with wet-bulb temperature exceeding the threshold defining what Chinese farmers may tolerate while working outdoors [15]. By applying 35 °C as a threshold for human adaptability, Pal and Eltahir predicted that extremes of wet-bulb temperature in the region around the Arabian Gulf are likely to approach and exceed this threshold under business-as-usual emission scenarios [16]. Lin et al. determined trends of heat wave variation and stress threshold in three major cities of Taiwan based on WBGT, and suggested that the heat stress in all three cities will either exceed or approach the danger level (WBGT ≥ 31 °C) by the end of this century [17]. Russo et al. quantified humid heat wave hazards in the recent past and at different levels of global warming using the apparent temperature, showing that humidity can amplify the magnitude and apparent temperature peak of heat waves [11]. There have also been some studies assessing the adverse effects of heat stress on health and labor productivity [18,19]. [2]

Ultimately this is going to result in population migration away from the most severely affected areas, or drastic (and expensive) measures like shifting to living underground in termite-mound-like habitation will have to be implemented.

Putin and Pals, and their apologists, make it sound like people living under these regimes enjoy human rights, fair elections, a free press, no corruption, and a high standard of living, and have no reason at all to revolt if not for “Western meddling”. It makes sense to say that if you’re a mass-murderer like Putin who never believed in human dignity, but the rhetoric of tankies and privileged apologists who live in the West, and have no idea what it’s like to live in a dictatorship, is mind-numbingly hypocritical. If the West is so bad and Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Kazakhstan, etc. are so incredibly better, why do they still live in the West?

A similar thing happened in Afghanistan in the 80s, then Caucasus post-1989. Notional government appeals for help, Russian tanks appear and don’t leave.

The difference is that the current government is undemocratic, though “legal”, not a new entity.

The author presents nationalism as an ideology that is ever-present; but that is amplified by hyperglobalisation. I think he's right about that. In fact I think nationalism is a reasonable response to damaging interference from foreign powers and international institutions.

What else can people do, when they lose their jobs to offshoring and trade agreements, and find that everyone in their neighbourhood is now talking in foreign and competing with them for housing? All they can do is demand that foreign interference and immigration be brought to a halt.

I'm not advocating nationalism; that way lies war. But hyperglobalisation has failed, and needs to be reversed.
Maybe. We must remember that Python was designed at the very end of the 80s so what was normal for developers back then could be unexpected nowadays. An example: the self in Python's OO is a C pointer to struct of data and function pointers. It should be perfectly clear to anybody writing OO code in plain C at the time (rising hand.) Five years later new OO languages (Java, Ruby) kept self inside the classes but hide it in method definitions.

Well, because it's not like PoS is just making PoW more efficient. You have no way to turn that extra energy into more stake.

It's like if I paid you previously for every strawberry you bring me, and now I pay you for how old you are. Previously, for 100 strawberries I gave you $20, and now for every 20 years you are old, I give you $20/hr. Now you need far fewer strawberries to make the same amount of money, but that doesn't mean you can now make more by giving me strawberries. You have no way of converting strawberries into age.
> Notes are a different story, but I’m sure there are techniques that can be purchased for entity resolution that can automate the scrubbing for PHI and PII.

You can't fully automate this because we require almost 100% accuracy. You need a manual review to ensure no data is leaked.
