Bluetooth(-devices) work okay as long there is only one main host (Laptop, Smartphone) and multiple accessoires involved ONLY for use on that host. As soon as you have several main hosts in constant use (Car, Laptop, Phone) and use the accessoires regularly on different main hosts, it becomes a nightmare. Auto (dis-)connects happening on power on/off, some devices not relinquishing their connection etc. In these configurations I've never seen it work properly, and most often it is more a source of anger than happiness.

actually on the other thread there was a link to a small phase III trial (double blind, but I didn't inspect the details).
I think the OP was simply discussing the officer's time and he may be right. The article doesn't state who initially reported and pursued the charges. But your comment shows the issue I was trying to highlight.

You missed the point which was not normative - that resources are not always interchangeable at a 1:1 ratio. You can clearly fire and hire wherever you want. It's the efficiency of that transaction to be discussed. Does the value gained by adding an enforcer outweighs the value lost by removing a "mean-tweet-enforcer"?

If the force's problems are caused by a shortage of enforcers and adding one more enforcer provides a huge value... while at the same time this "mean-tweet-enforcer" provides little value, then absolutely, make the trade.

But if this "mean-tweet-enforcer" does a lot of other valuable things, and this one article that made the news is just a one-off, while at the same time the police are not at a shortage of people but have process issues leading to the reported evidence failures, and adding another enforcer does not help much - the trade may not value society.

I just see a lot of arguments that we should reallocate resources without analyzing the tradeoff where one side may gain little from a lot of expenses. The OPs article states that the burglary issues, from what I can see before the paywall, were caused by evidence failures. If the argument were able to show that the resources lost by looking into this tweet could be reallocated to solve the evidence failures in the article by securing more CCTV feeds or something, then that's a strong argument. Either way, the comparison is theoretical. There are no mean tweet enforcers. The discussion is not normative, but positive. Simply not all resources are a 1:1 trade.
This is not the only area of alignment. The green movement has been pushing for "recycling" of plastics for the last decades. This is a big gift to the oil industry, that has been able to rely on a grassroots movement to put the burden of getting rid of plastic garbage on individuals through "recycling".
The Amish have it easier, as they have an extensive community.
> `request.formData()`

Yes.

Yes, but not in that PR since `FormData` needs to behave differently as part of the platform but there is intent to support it before moving from experimental.
They make CPU designs which they license out. That's copyrighted IP, and thus a product.

If ARM stopped making CPU designs and decided to just live off of their ISA patents while doing little to no actual development, yeah, then they certainly shouldn't have the right to be milking that cow in perpetuity, in an ideal world.

> So first up, the stat is usually fatalities per TwH, since that skews things in Nuclear's direction

Isn't this precisely the metric you want? If you want to convince me (and perhaps others as well), I think you need to go a little more into the details why this is a bad thing. It's not obvious to me.

> You can build a wind turbine and ritually sacrifice someone on completion of the build and the fatalities per TwH is infinite as it's not generated any power yet, but with every year of operation it gets lower.

Related to my above point, should it not be expected fatalities over the projected lifetime of whatever plant/turbine/etc.?
I am working on a Java UI kit that works on both desktop and browser:

There is a lot of benefit to this - fast, traditional desktop development with great deployment. It also has built-in developer tools and online access to a UI Builder. I hope this could make Java Client development interesting again.

I need collaborators to help write demos and improve the kit.

> If we have a few more Fukushimas, we might ruin the ocean forever.

I could be wrong, but, IIRC, coal power has actually created more radioactive pollution than nuclear energy. It's just a far, far larger volume of less concentrated pollution.

Also, Fukushima-style pollution isn't "forever." The most radioactive stuff also decays the quickest, so it disappears relatively quickly. It looks like most of the pollution from Fukushima was caesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years.
The company buying the patents is new with no history. Do any of the parties involved in financing the deal have a history of being litigious over patents? If the patents are generating royalties, this could just be a boring financial move where RIM gets a lump-sum cash infusion in exchange for a predictable, but finite, revenue stream.

There are many non-practicing entities that don't abuse their patents. ARM is an example.
Any reasonable system requires offset.

I'm building a live video cdn backed by a kademlia dht (the BitTorrent one). https://github.com/muxable/cdn

No major benefit of using a dht except it's kinda cool that the entire thing runs sans centralized database.

If you're interested, the space is what my startup is working on but the cdn specifically is mostly a fun tangent to learn about kademlia for me. It's always fun to work with more people in the live video space since it's a small community overall.

The dummy gauge in the 1993 Miata is part of the reason I ended up buying a '92. Having a real oil pressure gauge just makes the car feel so much more accessible and 'real'.

As an aside, the 'dummy gauge' is arguably worse than a lamp because it's much easier to overlook a needle being out of range than it is a light that's always off suddenly being on.

The first generation Miata is an amazingly fun car to drive - it's not fast, but it feels 100% mechanical (even though there are a few computers in the engine).

I have conflicting data about deaths per TWh

https://www.statista.com/statistics/494425/death-rate-worldw...

Most other sources repeat either numbers.

And it is not surprising, because we are talking about very different things. Solar-related deaths are mostly people falling from rooftops, Hydro-related deaths mostly come from a single event: the Banqiao dam failure, and Nuclear-related deaths depend a lot on how you count Chernobyl and Fukushima. Coal goes through the roof, mostly because of pollution.

We simply don't know how many people die from the Chernobyl disaster, from 31 to hundreds of thousands, yes, it is that fuzzy. I think the most official number is around 4000, but who knows what number they used to make these numbers? It is probably in the fine print somewhere if really look for it.

Mining operations are also taken into account, but how deep shall we go into the supply chain? Do we count the fatalities related to the raw materials that make the plant? What about the guy who dies in a car accident going to work at the power plant?

Do these numbers even make sense or are they just politics? By carefully picking my metrics, I could probably make coal looks very safe and solar very dangerous if I wanted to.
Yes, that's my experience. Everyone in my circles is perfectly happy with the idea that everyone entitled to have opinions and express them politely. It's only a radical few that are pushing the cancel culture hard.
I recently took over maintaining https://github.com/capacitor-community/camera-preview, an MIT licensed Ionic and Capacitor camera plugin written in Swift, Java and Typescript. I stepped up because I needed it, and lots of people wanted to embed a camera in their apps. Thanks to contributors I got a new release out yesterday.

I'm not a Swift programmer, or Kotlin programmer, and haven't touched Java in a decade. I would love to collaborate with people on this project. I can offer lots of enthusiasm, and if you like programming without hassle I'll handle all the user-facing stuff and managing GitHub issues and support requests, project admin and writing documentation :)

There is much to do (and users really want video recording on iOS), but I've not got the coding skills to start. Picking up one language would be a nice challenge; keeping the iOS, Android and web versions at feature parity... I can't do it on my own.

Not every browser API is an instant candidates to be added to Node's core. If there isn't a big performance hit from doing it as a user library or lack of functionality to do it as such in the first place then it's rare it'll be brought into core right away, if it will at all.

It's nice to see the really popular ones make it in though, makes for fewer dependencies when doing browser compatible projects and also allows one to be lazy and not learn the Node way of doing it. Maybe we'll see websocket go into core some day too.
If you're willing to commit to a significant monthly spend the providers will offer lower rates. Contact several of them and collect competing bids.
Behavior is appalling. Is there an easy way to leave the area, and does removing your headset end the program? My knowledge of this VR app is limited.
Unfortunately this doesn't work for managed or interpreted languages with their own runtimes, where you want the types to run on their VM.

An example would be JIT-compiled C# data structures, no way to implement those on top of a shared library since specific instantiations have to be produced and compiled at runtime.

Such a data structure and algorithm library as a springboard would be still be incredibly useful, but then you wonder why it's not called "the C standard library" :)
Communication is improved if, rather than redefining terms in common use, you just use the terms in common use that already mean what you want. So if you mean “at least 75%”, just say “at least 75%” rather than “most”, especially if you are negating it in a condition where negating it with the common definition would not be true.
Why wouldn't they mine the data of all their users super thoroughly (to their technical limits)? It only costs a bit of computer time.

Well, might be. The question is though if it's worth a price orders of magnitude higher than competing energy sources. And most countries on this planet seem to have come to the conclusion that it is actually not worth the price. Now I am actually not particularly for or against nuclear power - just making the argument that it's not an economic source of energy anymore.
It's negligable at current levels, but at some point in the next 40 years we will start to run short of easily mineable uranium.

Some of the other ways we might have to mine uranium then are carbon intensive. But research is being done. So it depends.
The reported angular resolution (in the main paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.10541) is 4 arcseconds. This is radio interferometry, which makes for better resolution, but it’s at a very low frequency (centered around 1.28 GHz = about 23 cm), which makes for worse resolution.
> The real actual nuclear power, which is better than coal, but not particularly competitive with modern renewables

“Modern renewables” aren’t competitive at all, you can’t build a grid based on them. The ginormous amount of renewables in Germany compared to how much CO2 per kWh their grid produces (https://app.electricitymap.org/zone/DE ) is everything you need to know.

Even in places like California (where I live) where Solar is viable, renewables will require so many battery storage to remove gas plants that it’ll push their co2/kWh way higher that nuclear.

Though falling prices would be intuitive, with nuclear that's been found to be false, both in the US and in France. Building subsequent versions of the same design increase in cost, rather than staying the same price or going down.

France: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03014...

US: https://news.mit.edu/2020/reasons-nuclear-overruns-1118

This is truly remarkable phenomenon that occurs with almost no other technology. And this happening in France rules out the possibility that it's merely increasing regulatory burden that causes increasing costs.

Those who want us to build new nuclear need to grapple with the issue of their cost if they want it to happen, yet I have not found a single nuclear advocate on HN that will acknowledge that these issues even exist, much less bother to propose some solution.

At least for the "safety" issues, we can have a discussion about how designs can mitigate that. But there also needs to be discussion on how design, workforce training, logistical management, or something can improve the construction issues.

This exactly. The level of austerity that comes with traditional homesteading can be shocking to most Americans.
There are parallels to the pandemic here. Society is underprepared for this rare event. The key difference is that there's not much we can do about a mega-eruption. We can setup early warning systems, we can create shelters. Other than that, a future mega-eruption could disrupt our way of life and our best option after the event is to rebuild and move on.

I'm derailing the conversation towards COVID here, but I think there's an important wider point. Part of what makes the pandemic so psychologically painful is that as a civilization, we're just on the cusp of being able to handle it.

- We have effective vaccines! -- but they lose effectiveness quickly due to COVID's evolution and we cannot approve new vaccines quick enough due to misregulation

- We have effective treatments! -- but we can't make them fast enough

- We have effective non-pharmaceutical interventions! -- but they are poorly adhered to

- We have effective tests! -- but they are not widely available

With a mega-eruption, there's not much we can do. We stand back and watch nature in awe.

Well, in the end someone has to pay the costs and that is the tax payer. That is why amongst the choices for energy production, the overall cheapest is the most popular. The state can help boost a new technology with subsidies, but in the long term, technologies have to be cost-effective. And nuclear power plants have a very bad track record on this, especially recent projects.

The navy is not really a good comparison. First of all, they have large budgets and somewhat different risk tolerances than civil engineering. Powering submarines by solar power is also not a reasonable concept :p But Germany has some fuel-cell driven submarines, which get many benefits of nuclear ones, but of course with much shorter deployment times (max. 30 days).
Thanks, I did.
In short, node has imports, browsers have imports, but node-related toolkits do not support it, and people still webpack bundles because development and deployment processes are a thing, and it doesn’t matter much which module system a “binary” bundle uses in the end.

Some people tried to force ESM adoption by making popular modules ESM-only for no technical reason, but tools are not there yet, and it only annoyed (predictably) half of the internet. Because even if you are pro-ESM or indifferent to it, you can’t do much to migrate your projects’ build pipelines. If you see typescript and webpack, you wouldn’t see “ESM” in there. It either doesn’t work or is too fragile for production.

People who claim it’s done say so because they are using particularly unaffected stacks (including no stack). Idk which way to promote ESM would be the most correct, but this one is too deceptive.

So your Wordpress host doesn’t allow custom themes? Because theoretically, you should be able to make a ‘modern’ theme that creates the same HTML + CSS as your beloved vintage theme.

I sympathise with wanting to keep the presentation. It was made in and for this context. It’s like reading an old magazine, you get so many extra clues about the context from the design. If a magazine does a redesign, it only affects the issues going forward. In my ideal world, blog redesigns work the same way.

I’ve done my share of maintaining and archiving older websites, where I tried to keep the design in place while updating the underlying infrastructure (or converting it to static HTML). The one thing I would sometimes change is to ‘zoom in’, multiplying all pixels in the CSS by a small amount, because the web moved to larger text sizes and screens, so older websites tend to look tiny.
