People need to relax. We're still in the early days of EVs--things will stabilize, probably around CCS in this particular case, but there's no need to look at this with some kind of schadenfreude. I doubt Tesla cares if the market converges on CCS or not, it's not like they were betting the farm on their proprietary connector. They just needed something to fast charge cars and no such thing existed when they began work on their supercharger fleet. It's really not a big deal for anyone except various deeply committed Tesla critics.
Super cool. I want to see more legal tools for developers to improve workflow efficiency. As a developer I'm especially interested in finding free contracts I can use to create agreements with other developers to work on mutually-owned products/businesses together.

Also, I like the pricing page-- especially this approach: "Keep this low, early adopter price as new features are added." -- I'll keep this in mind for my own products, I think customers will appreciate being grandfathered in to low prices-- it's a win-win.

To the developer-- Do you have any advice for the following scenario: You invite another developer to work on your product, such as Magistrate. How do you go about ensuring legal compliance with that developer--

A. That they make the appropriate work contributions to obtain the agreed upon equity level. I.e. you worked 1600 hours on the product this year, they worked 400 hours. You've both logged these hours. In terms of the work, you offer 25% equity, but that's if they also put in the same amount of money you've put in (such as for various IT, marketing, administrative costs), as an example of: You retaining 75% equity and giving 25% equity to a partner.

B. That they respect IP protections of the product (i.e. they don't immediately go off and try to build a competitor)
"What are you looking at? Never seen a hypocrite before?"
You don't appear to realize that food gets to your front door via a large and complex supply chain that involves many people doing things physically together at almost every point. Your definition of a lockdown is physically impossible even for cave men to sustain, let alone an advanced civilization. It isn't merely a matter of "works but insufficient".

This kind of completely irrational reasoning is exactly why lockdowns are now discredited. The fact that the response to "here's lots of data showing that lockdowns didn't work" is to demand an impossible level of lockdown that would kill far more people than COVID ever could simply through supply chain collapse alone, really does say it all.
Hey so how is are the virtual machines different from KVM? I still don't know when I should consider using firecrackervm in my homelab or my business.
This review would have been much better if written by a different author. This reviewer seemingly can't get over his biases for the hyperoptimized consumer market, and isn't the least bit interested in servicability or software freedom. These things are certainly trade offs and that needs to be acknowledged, but the review constantly "others" the desire for such things rather than critiquing the device within that context. This leads to useless critiques like focusing on the lack of processor speed while concentrating on bloated webapps. The author even forgoes trying "Maestral, a lightweight macOS and Linux client for Dropbox", which if truly lightweight should have run fine!

Meanwhile it sounds like the MNT has some real flaws (the battery discharging thing), but the context of that isn't really described - can the battery controller IC use much less power but the proper code hasn't been written, or is it a true design mistake, or what? In general open hardware involves some very hard tradeoffs, and this review just complains about that difficulty the whole time while pretending not to.

This seems like a net-negative for Tesla, in terms of customer retention. My inital reactions to this as a current Tesla owner:

o I'm not looking forward to additional crowding at superchargers.

o I'm EV enthusiast who road-trips and who is locked into Tesla due to the supercharger network. So I'm excited because this makes other car brands far more attractive, and means my next car will likely not be a Tesla.

Neither of these reactions is good for Tesla.

Citrix does desktop virtualization. Back when I was involved with using their stuff (20 years ago), it was a lot faster for global users to connect to our Citrix server to run client/server apps than to run them over the WAN.
Tibco does/did middleware for n-tier applications. Back when I used it (again 20 years ago) it worked, and was relatively painless.
>. These are simply the blue sky securities

> They're just fun little tokens.

How can they possibly be securities if they don't hold any interest in the business nor are they a financial asset, but rather just a token? You're contradicting yourself here.

Maybe I like tokens. I put in my labor to get my cash fair and square, I'd rather not have some regulatory chump tell me I can't buy a token that I know may be worthless. People buy beany babies too, and some enjoy it.
The old Python support for Emacs was such very good support for true REPL driven development. I have been using Lisp languages professionally since 1982, so I am fussy about having good REPL support.

I usually use PyCharm Pro and VSCode when I have to use Python for work gigs (I do deep learning about 100% of the time now), but when I want a great REPL experience I flip over to Emacs.

I really like the Caddyfile and template syntax. Is where a way to use this just to generate static HTML, without the server part? I kind of want to stick with OpenBSDs plain old httpd as it comes ootb and fullfills basically all the needs I have quite fine.

Currently, I do all my HTML manually. I looked into static site generators recently but didn't really like anything I've seen, from Jekyll/Hugo to smaller projects like blogc…
That's a good counter-example, and I agree with your suggestion that the value of the analytics probably explains the difference. (The value of smoke detector analytics is probably even lower than that of dishwashers!) So maybe we could agree that adding "smart" results in a more profitable product, whether that's because of a higher sale price, higher ongoing revenues, or both.
You don't need to choose, fex bash has complete-filename which is bound to M-/ by default¹. You can rely on smart completion for most uses, but should you suddenly desire to complete a filename in an odd place you simply use the direct binding. There are a variety of other completion mechanisms(user, var, etc) with default bindings available too for other out-of-context uses.

Dear Sophie: How do I successfully expand my company to the US?
Dear Sophie,

I’m an entrepreneur in Guatemala and would like to come to the United States to expand my tech company.

What is the best way to do that?

— Groundbreaking Guatemalan

Dear Groundbreaking,

What fantastic news that you’re looking to tackle the U.S. market. In a recent podcast (which is actually trending in your country the last several weeks!), I discussed my take on how to best establish a startup for immigration success. Whether a founder wants to make their way to the United States – or if they’re already here and want to start a venture of their own – we discussed the details. There are even options for companies that are newly formed with limited funding.

It’s important to know your options when setting up your company in the United States. This knowledge enables your company to successfully sponsor you, your founding team, and other prospective hires for visas and green cards if needed – prospective investors will also feel more comfortable investing in your company. Super important, right?! Before you get too deep into your plans, I recommend you consult both a corporate attorney and an immigration attorney to assist you in your efforts.

Ultimately, I think in the automotive sector in particular the management made a conservative decision that ultimately may have been fatal to them. They broke the JIT pipeline because they assumed, wrongly, that the Trump admin would not bail them out.

The lockdowns happened and some lever got pulled. They dusted off the “We love you America, come back and buy a car someday” commercial’s, cancelled everything, and opened the bottle of Scotch.

The corollary that's missing, of course, is that they often should get fired—but popular (sorry, "boring") choices have a momentum of their own.

>Electric cars … emissions … currently are in the negative.

No. This is a common myth pushed by the legacy auto and oil industries. The emissions savings cross over after around two years. Read the Tesla impact report.
LFP is pretty much already here. It's mainstream enough that's it's shipping in Teslas. The catch is that while LFP is cheaper and less fire-prone than more traditional lithium ion batteries, it's less energy dense. So it's unlikely to be solving range issues any time soon.

Every Tesla super-charger I have been has a reasonable amount of usage. Every third party one I have seen is either empty, broken, or has a old beat up Nissan Leaf sitting there overnight.

Hopefully that will change, but right now, Tesla owns the market.

There are several purchasing factors in place when it comes to choosing between a heat pump and a furnace. While heat pumps are considered the wave of the future they are not as efficient in colder markets:

This is why you should never allow a printer to directly connect to the internet.
Best thing for carpets is a central vacuum system. Oversize the motor unit and you can get units that will suck up 2" rocks with zero problems. The noisy motor can be located anywhere instead of in the room with you - I love to put it outside in the garage. And as someone with allergies, the biggest advantage of a central vac is it can be plumbed to fart the exhaust outdoors!

And if you have hard surface floors there is nothing faster than pulling out a lightweight flexible hose with a floor brush and running the vac over it. Faster than sweeping and again doesn't stir up dust/dander/hair like sweeping does.

I will never own a house without a central vac. And if you are really OCD about your carpet cleaning there are Wet/Dry central vac systems that have built in carpet cleaners. Will automatically discharge the waste water to the sewer. A bit pricy and exotic but I have a few friends who if they owned such a system would probably use them weekly (and mold the heck out of their carpets too!).
So if the water never gets dirty it doesn't turn off? How does it judge how dirty the dishes are to tell how dirty the water should be?

Seems fancy but nonsense.
What does “yellow press” mean in this context? I know the usage of the word “yellow” means “cowardly,” but I suspect there is some other connotation/well-known phrase
Sorry, there's actually a newer announcement from October that I couldn't see before. https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2021-October/060799.html

>Notable changes since 1.20 include:

- The meson support is now fully mature. While autotools support will still be
kept for this release series, it will be dropped afterwards.

- Glamor support for Xvfb.

- Variable refresh rate support in the modesetting driver.

- XInput 2.4 support which adds touchpad gestures.

- DMX DDX has been removed.

- X server now correctly reports display DPI in more cases. This may affect
rendering of client applications that have their own workarounds for hi-DPI
screens.
ESA determines new ‘space time’
IMO, EV chargers that provide less than 50 kW never should have existed and did a lot of damage to EV adoption.

For fuck's sake, my charger at home is 11 kW. (240V, 48 amp.) There's no reason any public charger should be less than that.
The article discusses "training" phases, where the stock phage is applied to a sample of the specific pathogen, and only the most successful daughter phages are retained, over several repetitions.

This process of encouraging adaptation appears to greatly increase successful outcomes.
In Germany newly built charging stations will be required to allow payments with credit/debit cards from July 2023 onwards. There will be no requirement to retrofit existing stations but I think that the pressure from the public will eventually be too high and the app requirement will disappear.
I watched the movie few months/years back. Pretty good and interesting film.
Yeah but usually what happens is that no new development of that sort occurs during the (intentionally limited by cheaped-out hardware design) lifetime of the appliance. If they do push any updates, they'll either be to fix security problems (only if you're lucky enough that they get fixed at all), or they'll push some horrible software feature users didn't ask for which worsens their experience vs how it operated when purchased and brings new bugs. Appliance manufacturers are terrible at firmware/software. You get all the downsides and none of the upsides.
The decreased rate of accidents is true. A newly built car can be expected to be retired after 250-300k miles. Rental car companies seem to be trying to sell their cars after around 60k miles : https://www.wsj.com/articles/rental-cars-with-higher-mileage...
I've started inquiring about this on all hotel stays even if I know I probably don't strictly need it. It at least gives the signal that this is something I value. In Europe with 230V if places just install normal outlets it's already a big benefit. It's easy to get 30 to 50% charge overnight from those. With 110V that's more limited and a proper slow charger may be needed.
> Why is it that software engineers in a few decades have come to the conclusion that proper variable naming is important and abuse of sigils a bad idea but mathematics don't feel the same way?

If yo read code in standard libraries, you'll see a lot of either single-letter variables or extremely generic variable names.

Most mathematics is dealing with things at least one level of abstraction higher than a standard library.

In most programs outside of things like standard libraries, a variable usually stands for something concrete and specific. A customer. An order. A specific type of element in a UI. Etc.

In theory papers, a variable usually stands in for something generic and general. An arbitrary program. An arbitrary finite set. Etc. Sometimes even an arbitrary program in a programming language that is not defined in particular but only in general (e.g., "any language with parametric polymorphism", "any language with a specific sort of binding structure between things in these two syntactic categories", etc.).

Again, standard libraries already start using more generic variable names, and most theory papers are dealing with an abstraction level higher than standard libraries.
Counterfactuals are rational.

You turn the steering wheel to avoid hitting oncoming buses.

And don't question why.

Don't argue, I can't be certain.
This is a great paper, will likely move the state of the art forward. I've been aware of Kubelka-Munk representations of painting surfaces since [1], which used a six-dimensional space (scattering and absorption for 3 wavelength bands, not really spectral). Doing it all in RGB makes it way more practical.

I'm fiddling with an alternative approach based on IPT-like color spaces, which won't need the 10MB lookup table, and will have a tunable parameter for paint opacity (between watercolors and pastels). So far I have promising but not compelling results. If people are working on, say, a free software painting application, get in touch.

We used SBCL on a commercial medical AI project about 12 years ago, and we paid a monthly support stipend to a SBCL maintainer - really worth the money! I forget the guy’s name but he was there for us the few times we needed him.
Great suggestion. Surprising Apple hasn’t implemented that.

It’s alarming when both your phone and your computer start ringing. I freeze. I do the same thing when I’m on a call and the options pop up - “hold and accept”, “decline”, or “end and accept”. My brain locks up.
This revelation comes from a security investigation that the Finnish government started in autumn 2021. So when the exploit was discovered, they checked to see if they were hit and hopefully too actions to protect themselves if they were.
But if they were selling spare parts for models 22 years ago (assuming recently replaced) then that IS the Miele of today?
How many of those stories happened before the DS1, though? It's easy in hindsight to say that our new, non-Lisp system better have remote debugging at least as good as the DS1's. That suggests two (possible) unique merits of Lisp: a repl with the full language environment at one's disposal, as an out-of-the-box feature; and, well, being a trailblazer. :)
Non-tesla chargers in the US are also awful - different payment models, broken chargers, etc.
So if a game includes Christian marriage, are the creators engaging in personal activism?
“Extremely racist” seemed odd to me too after watching it? Maybe outdated? It didn’t seem like the characters were interacting with the Native Americans in a racist way? They participated in their cultural traditions and seemed to have a fun time doing it?
I'm about 90% sure it's supposed to be funny. And for me, at least, the joke lands.
Unless your homelab and/or business is about providing (not consuming) serverless infrastructure efficiently at scale then firecracker isn't really worth considering IMO. That doesn't mean you can't use it in other use cases if you really want but that's what it was designed for/to do well with.
That makes sense for resistant infections, but for general infections a pre-made stock should work, no?
Updated, yes. Remotely debugged, no.
This practice has enabled scams. Many crypto sites now have a fraudulent version showing as a top result in ads which will allow the user to enter their seed phrase and empty their accounts.

Hey, afaik no, but you can compile nomad to work with OmniOS so i assume you can do the same for SmartOS. Haven't tried that in quite a while, so don't quote me on that. In this fork you can find fixes that add OmniOS support for older version of nomad.

But if you want to implement something like zones driver for smartos forking/updating this would be your best option:

Does society really want that or does it not realize that it doesn't have to be this way?
From reading the article it doesn't seem that the BBC is actually censoring its own archives. It's just choosing whether or not to rebroadcast certain episodes in their original form or omit them entirely. You can still access the originals, admittedly you may have to leave your computer and actually go to the archives themselves. This is... fine? Or is the demand that you must have access to absolutely everything all of the time?
It's kind of interesting that the article's summary says that women have "gained other options" aside from parenting (meaning that they work now instead), then goes on to cite a Guardian article saying that raising a child is more expensive than ever and that raising a child is basically a job that a woman pays to do rather than a job where she's paid. It doesn't seem to me that the conclusion that women have other options is true since the article makes it very clear just how crippling the economy is on modern families.
>plenty of decisive games (84 out of 182)

So the majority of games were draws. Do you really think that would be accepted without appeal to tradition? If you released a new game with so many draws, people would call it broken. If a minor rule tweak can reduce the draw count without substantially changing the feel of the game, it seems to me the common sense thing to do.
> people might think that you can pick a real number from R uniformly

This one seems to stand out though - is there a specific "non-math" situation where this is going to cause problems ?
Citrix got started by using OS/2 , I remember seeing them in about 1993 at an OS/2 convention. Then they later switched to NT.

The fully open source xcp-ng Xen based virtualization server is also based off their CitrixServer product.
You cannot have a honest conversation (AKA being open to change your mind) while engaging in a morally unacceptable debate.

Instead, refuse to have such debate. You can then explain your refusal.
She describes the diffraction of light when hot air moves; but that light isnt visible to most and its not a color she can describe well. "Sees infrared" may not be accurate, but its the best guess we've got. Her colors are shifted and slightly wider gamut than others too, as far as we can tell. She sees some of the "UV flower patterns" but not as a stark contrast, just more pattern and depth in a flower petal than I (or a camera) can see.

We have a big propane fired ceramic element heater; it lights the room for her more than it does for me. She can see the air dancing over it clearly by its own light, i have to smoke near it and have a lamp to see the same thing.
That's entirely true, but then again, that second sim card costs me 20 usd a year, so it's a cheap insurance.
