So, what would you have them do? Do you even have an example of how you think general purpose formatters should be "safe" under your model of the world?

You insist it should "validate" the strings but it's a general purpose formatter, there isn't anything to validate that isn't already mandatory in the language.

Yes, if I take the SQL formatter and I use it to make email addresses that's more likely to incur dangerous vulnerabilities. This is not a defect in the SQL formatter, I am using the wrong tools.

> Are you saying that you're not worried about that 0.1% because you can be certain even one programmer in a thousand won't make such mistakes, or because you don't expect Rust to be popular enough for that number to matter?

I can't do anything about the fact that people will make grave logical errors when programming, beyond advocate for testing and code review which might catch those errors. I suspect your 0.1% figure is pulled out of your backside, but, sure, somebody will get it wrong.

General purpose languages shouldn't be riddled with foot guns, but there's a difference between a language not having foot guns and not having any guns at all out of fear that somebody might shoot themselves despite the fact the gun was locked away, the ammo was locked away, and they had taken training in "How to use guns safely" before being given the keys.

Again, if you fear strings you can use special-purpose languages which don't have any strings so that you can't possibly make this mistake. WUFFS is not a language for babies, with training wheels, it's a language for experts who know they don't need stuff like strings in the domain they're working on.
Rather you have a problem with the developer. I would suggest maybe you try another solution.
I'm surprised this person was surprised.

Do the American home building standards not take account of this?

Fairly certain it's already law for a while in other places, e.g. if you have a gas stove or central heating then you need greater ventilation and maybe carbon monoxide alarms and so forth.

New houses in some places aren't allowed to have gas connections at all, which is partly greenhouse gas related, but the health benefits and cost savings are part of the discussion. No new home today should be built around the assumption that gas is a sensible fuel source.
Learning is core to our company and we also access potential as well as experience. Some factors for visa sponsorship are dependent on salary bands so that might be problematic but worth discussing during the first interview. Feel free to drop an email if you wish to discuss things further.
I can't understand why so many websites use an onclick handler on a button to redirect to websites.
It's not hard to even find something like
<a href="#" onclick="location.href='https://example.com';">click here</a>

The worst part is that it's not just random websites doing this, this can be found on most FAANG websites as well.
The problem is that ultimately the business' incentives aren't aligned with their users' and this will be true for any subsequent platform as long as it's advertising-supported.

Advertising-supported platforms make money off "engagement" aka getting people to spend as much time on the platform as possible so they can see ads. It doesn't matter if the content people are being shown is deceptive (clickbait, fake news, etc) or outright malicious (spam, scams, etc). In fact, clickbait, deceptive or intentionally antagonistic typically generates more engagement (as people argue endlessly) than pleasant & useful content.

Solving this problem requires a different business model where the users pay the platform for access just like you pay for your phone or internet service. The problem is that it won't sustain a bloated company with lots of engineers making 6 figures endlessly building an engineering playground.
A love style sheets like this that just work with plain, semantic HTML. For a while I used this one on a site of mine: https://github.com/programble/writ

I’m not an expert but I believe the recommendation is to use deep discharge marine (i.e. boat) batteries instead of car batteries.
It's a different tool, it works differently. Induction boils water in less than half the time, and it also has very precise heat control which can go very low, down to 100 degrees, where a gas stove's lowest setting is fast high heat by comparison.

How long have you cooked with a gas stove? I would wager that if you spent decades cooking on induction you would have similar complaints about gas. I love cooking with gas, but also I love cooking with electric, and I imagine I could love cooking with induction. (3 minutes to boil sounds brilliant, who needs a dedicated electric teakettle.) The stuff I could do with precise control down to 100 degrees F, I don't even know but that sounds like it requires patience but allows wonders that are impossible with gas.

Not to say gas can't work wonders that are impossible with induction, but they're different tools and it's not fair to judge simply on the basis of a few missing features.

Also there are pans that don't work as well with gas in my experience. I suspect that if anyone lived with an induction stove for decades and tried to replace it with a gas stove they would also be complaining that half their pans don't work anymore, or at least don't work for the task they've been used for anymore.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to call you out personally, but this is itching my brain something fierce so I have to blurt it out, and hey, it's the internet. A little derailing never hurt anyone.

It's amazing to me how universal the "I used to be a non-believer" line is in evangelism. From the classic "I used to be an atheist but I've been born again" to all the members of political party A claiming to have been a member of party B before seeing the light to technological evangelism.

It just jumps out at you after awhile.

> How long can it possibly be “early days”?

70-ish years. I'd say we just recently came out of the early days of computing around the 1990s or 2010s.

>How long do we need to wait before someone comes up with an actual application of blockchain technologies that isn’t a transparent attempt to retroactively justify a technology that is inefficient in every sense of the word?

Currency is inefficient? It's sure better than trading cows.

Smart contracts? Writing things using english and then every side involved hiring lawyers to be used as bad just-in-time compilers for what was written is way more inefficient.

"Bitcoin was the beginning of the end for the state" – geohot. And I can't imagine much more of an inefficient system than the state and central banking.

Energy production problem, not a blockchain problem.

God, devs, please don't put restrictions on your platforms under the guise of "safety". Same goes for governments. Stay out. If you have no clue how something works, it's partly on you if you gamble all your savings on it. But also, who is excusing scams? We all think scams are bad. Nobody is seeing someone who fell for BitConnect and saying "Well, it's the early days, so it's fine that you got scammed."

It seems to me that this lady really wants to dislike. In general. She enjoys disliking things.
You are correct, the technology for 24/7 SEPA instant transfers is there, but they are just ~ 10% of all SEPA transfers right now and - crucially - are not free yet: https://www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/what-we-do/sepa-insta...

Free instant transfers are the direction of travel, but in the EU, that is a question of regulation, not technology. Maybe in 2030 we will be there :)

But for many transactions, I see that instant would be nicer, but I don't see the crucial need. My employer pays all Eurozone salaries from a bank account in Luxembourg, I imagine it is just a script checking "Initiate transfers on 10 AM, 1 day before last working day of month". Being able to do "Initiate transfers on 23.59 PM of last working day of month" would be slightly nicer, but I don't think it really solves a huge pain point?
Something I sometimes wondered but never really researched: are there any custom Roms like LineageOS etc. but for AndroidTVs?

I’m not convinced that blockchains would actually reduce the cost or provide any benefit over a federated system where each nation (or group of nations like the EU) controls the data of its own citizens. I run into this problem with nearly every potential blockchain application I hear: it’s usually faster / cheaper / less disruptive to use a centralized or federated system governed by legal agreements that are hashed out in negotiations.

Politics underpins all of it — a lot of blockchain advocates look at blockchain as a way to sidestep political squabbles, when really the politics exist at a lower level of the stack upon which blockchain governance rules are built. A nation could unilaterally cease participation in any blockchain at any time, and use political pressure in other areas (trade, defense, etc) to get other nations to join them.
There are wok pans designed for induction, eg https://www.electrolux.se/accessories/accessories/cooking-ac...
Satellites in general aren’t maneuverable. The camera angle can be changed to point at, and capture, a region of interest when the satellite passes over it, but the satellite’s orbit is determined on insertion and doesn’t change on demand.
True, a flat bottom means it isn’t a “classic” Wok but we find them just as usable.

I think there are probably still UX problems to be solved with Induction, the visual feedback on gas is better. We fortunately have knobs on ours (I hate the touch buttons on some).
I am glad I don't live anywhere near places that are prohibiting gas appliances

Gas furnace, stove, dryer and water heater are much nicer than the electric counterparts
> it was a protracted process

When we bought this property, the least drawn-out bit of the overall process was the actual transferring of the funds. That was the easy part :)

It was the same with vehicles we've bought, the fastest part of the process was transferring the funds from buyer to seller, by far(!)

Are there (m)any significant transactions where the moving of money from buyer to seller is the bottleneck in terms of time and/or effort?

Firstly, I love your approach and if it works I am happy for you!

However, how can we be sure that a person can actually change even some parts of ones identity?

It seems to me that most people assume that our brains can be molded at will, simply by repeating some intended behavior. I'm not saying that this is impossible, but I highly doubt the extents to which this works.

There are so many variables at play, that it is unlikely for any mechanism to simply pick up the "good parts". At most, I would assume that we can learn things cognitively, and some muscular patterns.

Being able to change wants and desires at will however seems almost unattainable.

Doesn't keep me from experimenting with it, though :) And I'd love to hear others opinions on this!
I often wonder about the dumpster fire that is the web version of Reddit. Normally I assume incompetence over malice, but - they had a perfectly decent working link aggregator site over a decade ago, and more than sufficent resources and budget to maintain that site and make small improvements to the UX and design over time. So the only conclusion is that this is a planned, prolonged and deliberate act of self-sabotage and vandalism.
the difference is that boston dynamics does not advertise get rich quick schemes to poor people. for example, 70% of the ads on the london tube are blockchain related. if blockchain was just something industry and academia poured money into, no one would have cared so much about it
If you have the resources to get those, sure. But even a standard car battery will do, at least for some time, and if you can get more use per dollar out of those (and I assume end-of-life car batteries can be obtained very cheaply as they are essentially waste and no longer usable for their intended purpose) it will still work out better than paying extra for the "proper" battery.
I have been with my employer for 10 years. I had several managers come and go. I go to work because I enjoy my job. My managers know my dedication and hard work. I once challenged my manager to fire me. They ended up getting fired. the only reason I would leave is for a better company. I havn't yet come across one.
Wow, that's super handy!

Also I have a pretty slow phone, and I'm baffled by how much faster that results page is than Twitter Home. Apparently all the slowdown was from the content I didn't want to see! Amazing. Nuts.

Like, Twitter Home scrolls sluggishly and sometimes even freezes my phone. This search result across as fast as an HN comments page.

Lean TL for the win, thanks!
The ones with the ring are junk
I would still think that something much simpler (and "bycicle based") together with a battery could be much more useful in places where there is no mains and for emergencies.

Something loosely like :

https://www.electricpedals.com/pedal-generators

It seems like 60-80 W are sustainable for a longish period of time, so say half an hour that should be doable could be 40 Wh, something like 4 hours 10 W or 8 hour for a 5W led lamp.

I always thought that (for people sitting on a couch watching TV and not moving/walking/biking enough) connecting a small TV to the generator (with a minimal cache battery) could be a good product (though I doubt anyone would ever actually buy it).
I don't dispute that NFT-specific works can be art. I (and I think a lot of others) have an issue with counting a sale of the related token as a sale of the original work.

I guess (for me) it depends on whether the creation and honoring of the token was a fundamental reason for creating the art work (as mentioned by you) and comes with typical properties of ownership.

But since an NFT can be created for everything and anything (you just make a token and say it's about something), at best the NFT sale is at best something like the sale of an art copy.

It all depends on social factors. The author has to commit that an NFT will be the only one for a work; ideally the NFT would be created before the work is finished. All typical ownership rights (copyright) would have to be transferred.

Then I could see people accepting NFTs as proper certificates of ownership. But current NFTs seem to be pretty far from that (consider all the fraudulent ones).
>> I gotta make money from cooking on it somehow!

This may be old-fashioned, but have you considered using the stove to cook food and then selling the food? If we need to get technology involved, you could accept payments via square. Hell, you could probably even accept payment via blockchain.

But then again, how will the poor stove manufacturer continue to capture monetary value from your purchase? I just bought some delicious tamales from a coworkers mom, and I doubt she shared any of those ill-gotten gains with Samsung. Clearly this is a sector in need of disruption StoveCoin is sounding better and better. Plus, all the waste heat from mining can make kitchens as hot as operating a gas stove, which is what induction stoves are missing. Let me know when the ICO is happening!
The two most significant issues I've dealt with in the last year have been Microsoft's PrintNightmare and the two rounds of 10/10 Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities. In both cases, news regarding mitigations, scanning, live exploits and efficacy of patches all came from a few people's Twitter feed.

We have several vendors selling us "threat intelligence" and nothing I received provided all the detail, and "official" information was often literally a screenshot of people's Tweets, a week after I saw them. Customers were asking us for help and were I not looking a Twitter I would have had nothing.

I'd like to block Twitter. I never actually made an account there. But I can't manage what I need to without it.
It doesn't have to be range requests, you could split the file instead of depending on the range requests. Essentially it's the same as the chunking instructions for hosters who have a maximum file size as is demonstrated here: https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs/blob/master/creat...
That looks fascinating, I would love to know the physics of that ring and how it works. I had always assumed you needed a whole solid ferrous ring touching the glass plate whereas this is only touching in three places. It must then be electrically conducting from the ring to the Wok to induct the eddy current as those three points wouldn’t be enough to conduct heat.

Alternatively maybe it’s just relying on inducting directly to the Wok bottom but the surface area touching the glass plate is very small so I can’t see it working well.
Basic correlation vs. causation error.

It may simply be that high earners are more able to "upgrade" a home more often or move for better opportunities (remote work will change this), whereas the poor could only afford to buy a home [and stay] decades ago.

The common saying "home ownership is your biggest asset" stills holds true for generational wealth - housing is always in high demand and land is in short supply (population growth)

But even a house (not land) starts to depreciate at >50 yrs - renovations, teardowns, resale, etc.

I'm middle eastern, and I've largely been tempered to a point of submission about anti-middle-eastern sentiment until someone directly or indirectly cites such ambivalence or submission as a reason to perpetuate that casual disrespect towards people of my background.

And then I get pretty pissed.

Let's not condone casual bigotry just because some members of a population have come to terms with its current inevitability.

This is obviously how the stove generates the heat. The CPU is doing bitcoin mining for Samsung. Each plate has it's own set of CPU's depending on size.

Weird. Was looking at this program yesterday and the website was all over the place.
>>The problem is that ultimately the business' incentives aren't aligned with their users'

Twitter and facebook's business model is to amplify hate between groups of people with varying viewpoints and they got rich by encouraging people to get in other peoples faces and giving them a place to fight it out; might not have started out that way, but that IS the business model now.

It's really no difference than a boxing match promoter selling tickets to a fight, with fans on both sides cheering on their favorite boxer.

most people - if meeting in real life - could have put aside slight differences in viewpoints and converse on the things they do share common-ground, like actual adults.

If crypto is doing these things really more efficiently than current solutions, then why neither use case has any significant adoption of blockchain solutions?
Disclamer: I am the developer of this tool.

I would be interested to know what impedance error you are referring to, and what problems you have had to deal with.
Also it would be interesting to know when that was. There have been a lot of improvements especially in the last year.

I am always trying to improve the tool. Feedback is very valuable for this.

Thanks in advance, Ralf
The hard coal power plant Dattel was planned in the 2000s and serves as a replacement for three shut down power plants. It was the last coal-fired power plant that will ever go online in Germany. It has to be shut down in 2038 due to the general phase-out of coal.
> Once they shut off the gas lines due to the energy transition,

This won't happen. What will happen instead is that the gas to cook your omelette in the morning will cost three times more than going to a restaurant would and you'll make your own decision about shutting down your gas lines.
I believe they sell induction hobs that project blue light 'flames' to reflect the heat strength as a visual aid. Not sure if any do the audio as well.

I haven't seen a coil hob for years, I think my grandma had one.

The cheapest option apparently called a solid plate hob in Britain. Those coils are inside a ceramic (I think) plate. The cheapest ones cost about £80. They're difficult to damage, so you find them in the cheapest rented apartments (students etc): https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/h...

"Ceramic" hobs refers to the one with heating elements below glass/ceramic. Starts from £110, but it's a bit easier to damage. Many rented homes would have this, since it looks fancy and clean.: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/h...

Induction hobs start at £180: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/h...

Most ordinary (cheap or expensive) cookware sold in Europe is compatible with an induction hob, but not necessarily everything.
I love induction and I hate gas. But aren't there possible effects of induction on health?
