I had a terrible experience with Home Assistant. Slow, buggy, unreasonably difficult to implement non-trivial automations.

My heuristic since then has been to minimize the amount of node.js in my home automation codebase and this has worked wonders for its reliability and usability; currently the only component I still have that's node-based is zigbee2mqtt, which (possibly not) incidentally gives me more issues than any other component.

The best approach I've found has been to have (in isolated jails/containers) zigbee2mqtt dealing with zigbee network stuff (you must use CC2652 based coordinators and routers for any kind of reliability), mosquitto acting as an MQTT broker, and a custom program (write it in whatever you like) talking to mosquitto, with Pushover for push notifications.
Not to mention the power of the Lisp approach to solving difficult problems

This is why the majority don't see benefit in using it, 95% of devs are not solving difficult problems.
Author here-
Thanks for the interest and ideas. This blog is a hobby of mine to cover tech that makes the world more accessible to everyone, so it was cool to see so many people with more ideas, interest, and questions.

Feel free to reach out if y'all have any questions or tech you'd like to see blogged about in the future.
It's a bug. Are you saying there's some magical way of eliminating all possible infinite loops from code? Please write a paper on this amazing technique; I'm pretty sure that's equivalent to solving the halting problem and the computer science community would love to see a proven unsolvable problem being solved.

Coincidentally I also released recently a LiveView side project (that got zero traction on Show HN ;) that involves uploading audio files.

People are often afraid about the latency but I must say although visitors from all over the world used it I got no feedback about any lag.

I'm looking into their code how the flash is displayed as a toast notification that auto close after a while, as I kind of couldn't think of a simple solution to do that.
I use fly.io in production. It’s very good if you’re comfortable with a CLI. However, I wouldn’t say it’s nearly as beginner friendly as Heroku. Heroku is dummy easy to get started. Netlify is about as simple too.
OP looks like Ogan himself. Mostly anti-Tesla posts.
The subreddit started as a goofy IRC chat back in like 2012. The humor about yachts and such was similar, but there were actual people interested in and (allegedly) good at automated trading setups. Last I saw, jartek moved admin rights to the subreddit to another entity (presumably for $? i forget at this point). It'd been a goof-fest for quite a while, but GME sent it overboard.
This is super interesting to me! Thanks for posting. I may write about it in the future :)
The majority of programmers did not learn Lisp in college. Most universities don't have it in their curriculum, and if they do the closest is usually a "programming language" course that gives 1-2 weeks of coverage for 5-15 languages.
Because the cost of production does not scale in a reasonable manner, nor would it be good for users. What happens when you need feature X that is only available in 6th edition, or need to open a document prepared in the 8th edition by someone else?
I found SoapUI when I had to develop some SOAP services, but these days it also does REST etc just fine.

For someone like me who just does this occasionally I found it rather useful.

I deployed a personal app to Heroku when i was quite young and Heroku was barely a company. I lost access to the email that was tied to that heroku account, to their credit, the app is still deployed (and quite embarrassing to look back on). I've tried contacting support to remove the app multiple times but they've refused citing "security" concerns.
My father has a 2019 P100D model S. I’ve driven it a few times. It feels like you’re driving a cross between a budget Android tablet and a somewhat skittish horse with a rocket engine up its ass. What could possibly go wrong? On the last two occasions it has dumped on the brakes in the middle of an empty road for no reason.

My usual wheels are a crappy French dumb city car with a peanut for an engine and I feel safer in that with a large truck driving 6 feet off my ass.

Edit: also my crappy French thing actually has CarPlay rather than the shit show mess Tesla came up with.
It just depends on whether they’re talking to Congress or the Police.
Hmm, I've not used that architecture/OS myself (I use NixOS on an i686-linux Thinkpad and an aarch64-linux Pinephone, and Nix on an x86_64-darwin Macbook).

From skimming the comments, it looks like Nix itself works; although there seem to be many packages in the Nixpkgs repo which don't have that architecture/OS in their metadata.

No you can't but for the database I'd choose something like AWS RDS for stability.
Sounds a lot easier than curl tbh. No need to deal with shell scripts and their insane quoting, plus you get the response straight in your editor with syntax highlighting.
That's not what I said. I said that it would presumably require a trial to prove that the ML models contain PII, as opposed to the government being able to assume they do and demanding the company prove they don't to some arbitrary standard.
> Reading an electric car companies statement and taking that as absolute truth

But you’re willing to take oil industry propaganda as absolute truth and that’s ok, right?
We use SBCL for production deployment and CCL on most of the developers’ machines. One of the nice things about Lisp is that you have an option of choosing from several mature implementations with different strengths and weaknesses: In our case, we optimized for processing speed on the server and for compilation speed in the dev environment

Wouldn't using the REPL during dev remedy the slow compilation issue?
Cold fusion is a hoax. Did you mean regular fusion?

Both Cruise and Waymo are legally operating cars without drivers that are available to the public today.
Food for thought/discussion: I don't see what prevents the author from having the experience they had back in the days. Tcp, http and ipv4 are still standing strong. I am sure there are more than plenty people around who would like to retain the old ways as well.
This whole situation fascinates me. At what point do people start suing Tesla for fraud? There is no evidence that Musk's claims about FSD will ever be true.
Between this and OpenAI's Github Copilot "programming" will slowly start dying probably. What I mean by that is that sure, you have to learn how to program, but our time will be spent much more on just the design part and writing detailed documentation/specs and then we just have one of these AIs generate the code.

It's the next step. Binary code < assembly < C < Python < AlphaCode

Historically its always been about abstracting and writing less code to do more.
> science is owned by the community rather than any individual person

the problem is that the community is a group of many individual persons, ultimately it is the individual persons who by actively knowing the 'science' embody science itself.

the science is not exclusive to any individual or group (though nowadays, "important" science is really restricted because nobody wants the Chinese copying from them).

As I see it, the gist of the whole issue is establishing property rights over pieces of culture.

Why would anybody do this? well it seems to me that the biggest driver is that if things are exclusively owned, then they can be traded in some kind of marketplace.

The problem with this attitude is that culture (e.g. science) is not something that can be exclusively owned (a problem shared by digital things).

IMO, it all comes down to people wanting to be paid (with royalties and/or recognition) for what they did a long time ago.

with a practical intent, I think that the question which needs an answer is how can we have a marketplace to trade things which are not exclusively owned?

or maybe we should reconsider the general practice of continuing to reward people for things they already did?
DNT compliance is only voluntary in that it can be ignored when there is no law requiring consent to track.

If someone says "Do not track me", it's a bit disingenuous to interrupt them with a dialog asking them all the ways they might want to be tracked. It's either an attempt at coercion (we'll keep wasting your time until you give in) or an attempt to gain fraudulent consent through trickery/mistakes.
Russia has only about 1600 operational nuclear warheads on a much smaller number of ICBMS. It's not tens of thousands.

https://thebulletin.org/premium/2021-03/nuclear-notebook-rus...

But even with that lower number you're correct that we have no hope of defending against a major strike.
OK, that's interesting. Thank you.
Yeah, happened to me as well..
I would try Azure - it has almost all the same service offerings as AWS, but (strictly IMO) the UI is better to work with. They do a good job hiding some of the more complex things that most people don't care about. The defaults can be annoying (e.g. you get defaulted to a $200/mo managed Postgres cluster when there is a $10/mo option available) but I just make sure to double-check pricing before creating anything and have never had an issue.
The issue here is larger than using the right language. I'm browsing through the full ruling [0], but C.1. Breaches, pages 115-117 is a good summary.

- "First, the consent
of the data subjects is currently not given in a sufficiently specific, informed and granular
manner"

- "Second, the legitimate interest of the organisations participating in the TCF is
outweighed by the interests of the data subjects, in view of the large-scale processing
of the users’ preferences (collected under the TCF) in the context of the OpenRTB
protocol and the impact this can have on them."

- "In the absence of systematic and automated monitoring
systems of the participating CMPs and adtech vendors by the defendant, the integrity
of the TC String is not sufficiently ensured, since it is possible for the CMPs to falsify the
signal in order to generate an euconsent-v2 cookie and thus reproduce a "false
consent" of the users for all purposes and for all types of partners. As indicated above248,
this hypothesis is also specifically foreseen in the terms and conditions of the TCF" - no way to verify consent

- "The Litigation Chamber also finds that the current version of the TCF does not facilitate
the exercise of the data subject rights, especially taking into consideration the joint-
controllership relation between the publisher, the implemented CMP and the
defendant. " - no way to revoke consent, or request your data

As to why the system ran for so long: yes, enforcement is (too) slow.

- Many complaints were made to several European DPAs in 2019.

- Litigation commenced 13 October 2020

- Interim Decision 8 January 2021, amended 23 February 2021

It looks like IAB made a lot of procedural complaints when it became clear their arguments were rejected

Really off topic, but a feature suggestion: twice I have signed up for GSuite and moved my domain there, only to quit because there is no way to use the books, movies, etc. that I bought using my free gmail account. Switching accounts is a nuisance. It would be great if there were a share option between accounts if they were tied to the same phone number.
Please, the cynicism pointed in the Googs direction is well deserved. It is clear and obvious by their behaviour and changes to company ethos that serving ads is priority #1. Any thing that diminishes that ability will not be tolerated.

Just look at the recent (as of yesterday) stories of the changes that Googs is pushing to re-enable tracking that has been previously manually/intentionally disabled by the users. Look at how Maps is forcing users to enable wifi in order to provide routing directions. This one happened to me personally as well.
So it's basically a blog and a forum, but in an app?
I'm completely with you on this and have not found an app at this time, but if I do I will CERTAINLY be posting it.

At the moment I just wear sunglasses or transition glasses when I go out. A better solution would be ideal.
> I refuse to lend out my hammer to everyone who asks, that's capitalism

Capitalism in this analogy is your ownership of the hammer, not who you are or are not obligated to lend it to.

Though it’s not really a great example, a lot of things are missing from this example, such as how you came to have ownership of the hammer, what property rights you are entitled to with the hammer, and why you even need to have ownership of said hammer in the first place. Alternatively, there is some sort of public ownership (as opposed to private, not necessarily implying state ownership) of the supply of hammers, and you are able to obtain a hammer to fit your business needs as needed.

Yup, Spoiler alert - They asked him what he was doing now. He didn't reply.
Well, if not all of humanity’s knowledge is freely and openly available on the web, how can we expect a search engine—any search engine—to provide a meaningful answer? I remember when Google aimed at scanning and indexing entire libraries, but then they had to stop due to copyright laws.
I tried out DO App Platform and it’s pretty decent. There were a few bugs I encountered. One glaring issue is the lack of static IP’s which was a must for me. They claim they’re working on it, however.
This is a good question. I think the answer is that it's difficult to define up-front what is illegitimate "online tracking" and what is legitimate tracking of users necessary for things like accounts and saving of preferences (without drowning in special cases and loopholes).

The idea was to let users decide for themselves, case by case, whether they wanted the tradeoff of being tracked for the rewards (including things like saving your preferences).

The tracking industry didn't want to be banned and wouldn't give up without a fight, so they looked for a loophole in this fake consent spam.
My first instinctual reaction was I would love content like this, but why does it need to be an app? It's a great idea for a magazine or even a book series or a video series. The multimedia potential of interactive computing devices means you can do all 3 in one, so sure, an app is just a means of delivery, I guess.

Except, it isn't. I was excited that you have a web link, only it's a link that allows you to download the app. I don't want an app. I just want the content.

Is there any plan to ever publish the content you're having generated by any other means? Why not put it directly on the website?

Yes, hence my question, because in many cases an environment like this would be sandboxed away so that a researcher doesn't accidentally break anything in production.

How many drugs, medical devices, etc. were developed in the US and are being sold to all of those OECD countries at a significant discount?

If that pricing was forced on Americans as well, where would the now missing money come from? Is it a bunch of corporate fatcats getting rich or is the richest country in the world subsidizing the healthcare of the rest of the world? (I mean, probably both, but is your intention to nationalize and make nonprofit every aspect of healthcare including drugs and research?)
Bizarrely, 90% of Americans only favor Medicare for All if it means not abolishing private insurance: https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/428958-pol...

Yet, 94% of Medicare recipients "report being very satisfied or satisfied with the quality of their medical care": https://www.kff.org/report-section/medicare-covered-older-ad...

At the same time, 19 out of 22 studies in a systematic review concluded that M4A would produce immediate cost savings, and one additional study predicted savings over time. These studies were funded by "organizations across the political spectrum": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6961869/

I have no idea how to reconcile these findings, except to conclude that the average American has no clue how insurance works, while, at the same time, they want to keep what they have. I think it's propaganda that's getting in the way of people making an informed decision here.
> So if you want to cut off a self-driving car, go for it!

I'm not sure. Maybe it's my anxiety speaking but that sounds pretty dangerous, at least over time. An autonomous car may not play chicken but it can still make mistakes, or be unable to brake in time. There's also no way to know that a car is being autonomously driven since, currently, someone has to have their hands on the wheel.
The collective action problem that’s been solved is getting people to collectively click a button. It’s why you see tons of people upvote things or change their profile pictures in support of a movement. But getting them to go past that is still as hard as it’s ever been.
This sounds like a really bad idea. With orange juice it takes less than 30 seconds to differentiate the versions. If this was done with something like Microsoft Word you would probably have to spend the better part of a day teasing out exactly which features you needed or wanted. I think a semi relevant modern example would be how the release of hitman 3 worked out. They had to make a flow chart of how to buy the right copy of the game with the features you wanted.

The article states that it was a failed stunt. On the contrary, the flags in these protests don't seem like much of a stunt at all, considering that far-right associations to anti-vax movements is a well-known.
It's a difference in how the question is phrased. Most people do essentially no research and make no effort to understand the details of things. In this case it's choice = good. No further thought is required as to the actual value added by private insurance.
I know, I just wish they would stop asking me about it.
> I like that I can just install it as an apt package onto an existing rpi with other things and java just does its stuff, rather than dedicating the entire rpi4 to it or running in a container.

If you try Home Assistant again, you'll probably like Home Assistant Core. No separate OS or container needed, just a Python virtual environment. That's how I have it installed. I have to do the updates and backups manually (rather than it self-updating automatically / through the UI) but I find that preferable to dealing with an extra machine, VM, or container.
If you think those who study microbiology study it with quantum chemistry of organic compounds as a foundation, you would be very wrong. I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm just saying it is way more uncommon than you'd think. Ask around your network and find out for yourself.

Not OP, but I make extensive use of VLANs to isolate off security cameras, IoT devices, etc. etc. into their own mutually isolated network environments.

I also don't use Wifi for any of these devices anymore. It's usually a bad experience. Either use ethernet or a dedicated IoT-oriented wireless protocol. Z-wave seems OK but not very flexible, Zigbee is a pain in the rear (but the only option for many device classes), and I'm hopeful that Thread will actually be good.
Great idea, annoyingly they don't have this type of API interaction! If so, would build a great client app that allows people to take the best parts of Facebook without the many negatives.

Thanks!
I don´t think it applies to content served from the App Platform CDN (Cloudflare), but egress from origin is 10¢/GB after the included bandwidth is exceeded. Excess egress from Spaces or Droplets is much cheaper at 1¢/GB, and they are more generous with the included amount.
I disagree. This stuff can go on indefinitely until the big money pulls out, and the big money doesn't pull out until something happens to make the investment embarrassing to mention to your peers. It took an expose from the WSJ (which probably wouldn't have worked from any other paper) to do it for Theranos, it simply took a memorable, repeatable joke to do the same type of thing for Bill Cosby.

I honestly don't think that Tesla is hiding fraud at that level. If anything is going to kill Tesla, it'll be cheaper, higher-quality competition, probably followed with lies about sales figures. Things that are years off (as far as I know.) Lies about what your technology is on the verge of doing are standard for the tech industry.

The best is MSM telling retail investors to forget GameStop and sell every single day. Why do they care? Who's interest do they have?

Anyways, it's been a real eye opener.

My opinion is the market is a giant slow Ponzi scheme built over time to fleece retail investors.
Plagiarism would still be a problem in a world without papers for the sake of papers. Someone I knew abandoned his PhD after plagiarism of his unpublished work-in-progress rendered his largely-completed thesis effectively useless. He never really found his way after that, and although his suicide had a number of causes, this did not help.

Maybe you are thinking that the PhD mill is itself problematic, but there comes a point where saying "if things were different, this would not be a problem" becomes a way to avoid the issue.
Vscode has an http_client module that's very similar to intellij's as well. Practically the only thing you've gotta change is how requests are saved to variables
Why shouldn't it? Anyone can buy 500, 700, 1100hp, etc. RWD production cars and YouTube is covered in videos of people using them to cause destruction of property and injuries because they don't know what the car is going to do. These muscle cars, supercars, and hypercars require control inputs that are not necessarily intuitive and could be very surprising. At least Tesla is forcing people to go through a safety test first. These cars can be operated safely. If and when there is sufficient evidence that they can't, I expect things to change.
