Bullet proof vests, racing harnesses, etc, etc, all sorts of safety critical fiberous stuff like that ages out long before the fibers are degrading because the manufacturers make assumptions about the lifetime of the product in chemically harsh environments (for obvious ass covering reasons) and assign it an expiration date and users are not willing to say "well I use the product in a cool dry basement so I'm sure it's fine to go 2x the expiration" and accept the responsibility themselves so these products get replaced/recycled at a very high rate.

As others have stated, kevlar is also used in all sorts of other applications. The material can come from wherever.
50% loss in the cold is pretty darn high. You can mostly eliminate the cold range loss by:

- preconditioning the battery & cabin while the car is parked and plugged in

- using one of the newer models with a heat pump

- turn the cabin heat down and the seat heating up

The first point is the most important. We often have little range loss on our way to the destination but significant on the trip home because we couldn't plug in at our destination and the car got cold.

Maybe the firmware is important for the dishwasher though, but it should still function without it. I imagine a dystopian future where some society fails for some reason and internet stop being reliable. So much of our technology is dependent on it to work.

It could be war, it could be solar winds or even more likely that the manufacturer goes out of business and closes down their servers.

This is just pretty bad and I think most of us can agree. Nothing will ever change though since you pretty much don't know about this until it happens to you.

I had a F-250 with the backup camera screen in the rear view mirror. It was a factory option and it worked perfectly. Kept my eyes on the mirrors with additional feedback from the camera. It was most useful when hitching trailers.

My preference is never to use _com_ptr_t et al. (instead CComPtr for a nicer RAII) since they throw exceptions, and almost none of the developers I worked with expected that, so lots of unhandled exceptions at runtime was the result.

One of the best things about the COM (previously OLE) API was actually HRESULTS, so I always encouraged their use, and IErrorInfo wherever possible.

Math Majors, yes. CS majors, maybe? It really depends on how the university treats CS.

At the University of Waterloo, CS is strictly in the faculty of Math, so I'd expect students to know much of this (I think? I'm in Computer Engineering at UW, which is a distinctively different program).

OTOH, I'd imagine things are different in universities where CS is thought of as its own major, with no Software Engineering/Computer Engineering as an alternative.
Not sure if it's any help, but I enjoyed the books "How to win friends and influence people" and currently "The Laws of Human Nature".

The main gist is that many of the things you see in people are just a reflection of yourself, mostly your insecurities/defects. Try to really get to know people without instantly assigning the label "unattractive", "looking for a husband", "boring" when you see them. People are very complex; everyone has good and bad parts. Even if you have no interest in befriending someone, just try to understand them and their point of view, it will also help you understand yourself better and what you really want.

> Big name manufacturers are refusing to invest in fab expansion because they believe (correctly) that total demand for semiconductors has barely moved.

This is false.

First, big name manufacturers are indeed building more fabs.

Second, there appears to have been demand creation in the semiconductor market rather than just a transitory demand spike.

Charging the phone from 60% to 100% is 0.4 cycles. So your wife is putting less than 3 cycles per week on the phone battery. Sitting at 100% does degrade the battery, especially since the phones all charge to 4.4V these days. I root my phones so I can set a 4.1V charge limit.

One of the reasons that Japanese is hard (for a westerner) is that all the symbols used to write Japanese text are unknown. Mathematics is expressed in logic, and that logic is most often expressed in a human language that the reader knows (such as English) plus some symbols. Those symbols are usually either known, or are introduced on a supportive framework of logic, a human language, and known symbols.

China is notorious for censorship but from speaking to friends there it seems everyone is totally on board with vaccines and very few people doubt climate science. People know everything is censored but trust in science, experts etc is relatively high.
Agreed on Six Sigma. I also worked at a major defense contractor for awhile and Six Sigma was a blight on us all. Not only did it cause the problems you listed but we also wasted so many hours from required "quality meetings" every week.
My boyfriend once presented me with a 3-doors game for my birthday. I was to click one door for my present. I wandered around all day trying to decide which one to choose and when I did, the other two doors disappeared and my warm and snugly new bathrobe was revealed. I married that guy about as fast as I could and twenty-six years later he's still good for a digital surprise. :-)
There is no general idea of conservatism though. What's conservative in China, or Germany, or the US, it's radically different.

There are only specific cultural understandings, each of which almost always map poorly when applied cross culturally.

This is a key feature that makes One-Time-Pads (OTP) perfectly secure. You can't "crack" a OTP encrypted message because depending on the pad you can produce any possible string, so you can't possibly know which is the "correct" pad.

With something like AES-CBC very few output streams are actually possible. So if you guess a key that produces an intelligible message it is very likely correct and even if you brute-force the entire keyspace there is a good chance that only one key produces a plausible result.

This article is interesting but not rigorous I think.

* The inverse of a geometric shape makes no sense. We only inverse operations.

* aa^-1 = 1 only if you consider the multiplication over reals.

* 1/0 is not equal to infinity.

Because the article is interesting but some people might be put off by the first few sentences, I suggest to had a disclaimer that this article lean on edutainment to the detriment of rigorous mathematics.

For myself it's living in a 1st floor apartment, with price being secondary, and maybe concerns over the charging network in the UK at the fringes being third. I don't think range would be a big concern.
Atlas silos coming up for sale isn't uncommon.

> from your domain

Not only from your own domain, but from your own servers. If you still server-side send the IP to Google servers, it's still sharing of personal data with a 3rd party.

I wonder how this works when you rent servers from VPS providers. If you host data on their servers, does it mean you share it with them? What if this data is behind a root password? What if it's encrypted?
This isn't an emulation. They're running the original firmware on an emulated 8080.
I think the best thing that can be done for human vs human chess is to reduce the number of draws.

I think this can be done with a very simple rule change:

In a draw, instead of a both players receiving half a point, one player will randomly receive a full point. The expected value of a draw is still the same (0.5 points per draw) but I think it does change the psychology of it.
> As much as I love being relatively unrestricted on the internet, is there actually any evidence that censorship decreases trust in institutions?

A consideration: could it be that acts of censorship decrease trust in a society that is already divided?
This may be the same thing as what you call the whitelist, but in case it isn't: on iPhones, you can mark some contacts as "Emergency Bypass On." Even in silent mode, you will always hear calls and texts from them. You can also choose sounds unique to that person. I have the bypass on for my fiancee, and I chose a pleasant, unobtrusive sound for her texts. I have found this works quite well.
Show HN: Rust built open-sourced CLI tool for API specification validation
> re: extensibility -- mc does have scripting [1] (although not sure if you meant something else)

Scripting in the sense that the application exposes an API that scripts can interact with to query data or perform actions, usually to an equivalent capacity as to what the user could do themselves.

In the case of Far Manager, the Lua scripting API exposes the same API as for plugins, which allows complex integrations such as implementing custom UIs and VFSs.

> re: image viewer -- hmm how would that work considering mc is running in terminal? I guess it could interact with some sort of modal window for file previews or something like that.

Well, there's a whole bunch of methods. Many terminals support at least one protocol for drawing bitmaps, such as Sixel; ranger uses the simple method of overlaying an X11 window on top of the terminal emulator's.
Static Site Generation Is NextJS' Killer Feature
It's not using Hive ("v3") yet then.

From what I understood, the "v2" of Scaleway Object Storage was based on OpenIO (which has been brought by one of their competitor, OVH). So they abandoned the tech and built a new one who could scale a lot more, and this is Hive.

The v1 of their Object Storage was using Riak S2.
When I received a huge amount of cash some years ago, my outlook changed completely. The first thing to do was to split the money in order not to keep everything in one basket. I choose banks with unvieldy, problematic protection schemes that are awkward to use. And I set up a dedicated old laptop for banking (which still works).

My biggest paranoia wasn't about remote access though. I was really afraid someone could counterfeit my ID and just cash out as much as they could get away with. Fortunately, it hasn't happened to me.

I'm not a computer scientist but as a programmer I enjoy dabbling in computer science papers and while I often do understand the underlying concepts (sometimes very well since I've been using these concepts daily for decades) I often find myself incapable of following a paper just because the notation is hopelessly obtuse.

The immediate example for me would be lambda calculus which makes a lot of sense to me when expressed in code (be it lisp, python or Rust) but just looks like vomit in theoretical papers, for instance:

(λy.M)[x := N] = λy.(M[x := N]), if x ≠ y and y ∉ FV(N)

This looks like a perl one liner from an obfuscation contest.

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?
Not sure about the timeline, but regardless I wasn't aware of the tweet.

But I still stand by my comment, his tweets are somewhat irrelevant given how many false promises he has made.

I find the above amusingly accurate in a lot of cases backed up by anecdotal evidence. Aside form contradicting the thesis in the submission it has the huge advantage of not requiring to pay for and to read a whole book and I think it will provide just as useful for practical application, meaning not very.

Thank you.

I see. I'm looking now at how to load DOOM WAD files in Rust (https://github.com/bjt0/rs_wad/blob/master/src/wad.rs#L105) as an example, and I see it uses your method (even if it seems to store each piece in individual variables to then copy them into the struct).

It's not as straightforward as one would expect (as you say, it requires an extra buffer and parsing, but no extra IO). I surely wouldn't get to the solution by myself.
Looks like a Miele. That menu can be exited (the image where it says "Software Update", the tiny bit on the right... that's a scroll bar of multiple options including the ability to exit this menu), but it does imply that the dishwasher is already connected to Wi-Fi and that it has determined that there is an update available.

There are few times that a dishwasher is interacted with, if not when you go into the menu to start it then when? It's just asking "Do you want to do this now?" if not that is fine (the menu can be exited), but now you know to do it later.

Alternatively as the dishwasher clearly is on Wi-Fi already (the only way it would know there's an update), one can use the Miele@Home app to perform the update at a more convenient time.

I have a Miele dishwasher, it is connected to Wi-Fi (on a VLAN with other white goods, outbound connections to certain domains only). The Wi-Fi is useful... the dishwasher auto-doses the powder, rinse aid, salt, etc... and can let me know the levels of those. In addition it tells me when the cycle is done. Performs updates, etc. There's a Home Assistant integration too, but I've not done that (my VLAN setup prevented it!).

PS: If you're of the opinion that a dishwasher doesn't need to be on Wi-Fi and you wouldn't connect it... then great, that's another way not to be asked to do an update. This dishwasher isn't going to ask to connect to Wi-Fi, it's something you choose to do (something that takes a degree of determination I might add).

Where is exactly is the line for needed for operating a website and being optional?

What if you create your website in wix.com, the data from your domain will be shared with them AND it is needed for this data to be shared for operating the website.

EDIT: To make it clear, I always recommend self-hosting fonts and agree that Google CDN fonts should be avoided. But even if you self-host the fonts, those are still hosted on a server that is very unlikely to be your basement.

Part of that is foreign ownership of capital. I believe around 30 to 40% of American capital is now foreign-owned.

- Shipbuilding

- Photovoltaic manufacturing

- Wind turbine manufacturing

- Cell phone manufacturing

- Pharma manufacturing

- Book binding
