So first of all you're responding to what you want to read, not the actual content of my comment. I said that the friend of mine in question was a self described hard Leftist, and that he was big in leftist oriented Twitter. I made no statement about New Republic...which is in fact a hard left publication. When you were looking at Wikipedia, did you skip the part where they were owned by that guy in the 1980s because it came out that the editors and owner were spies for the USSR, EDIT and they were trying to revamp their image /ENDEDIT? Or the bit about their return to their leftist roots since their sale in 2016?

Furthermore looking at who owned an institution 30-40 years ago doesn't really add any value to the conversation about what they are today.
Not to be an asshole, but I think the fusion crowd could go for more of an under promise, over deliver mentality.
I have been considering swapping the drive, thanks for the channel recommendation. Also tempted to get a 5th gen Nano instead. Turns out I don't need a 160GB drive as my purchased music library is much smaller than I remembered and I always loved my 5th gen Nano.
The actual paper as well as the press release points something out that I think a lot of the "lol, Texas" discussion here is missing - many markets globally are Energy Only including all EU markets. (the only European capacity market is in the UK). So Texas is not some kind of buccaneering outlier in having an energy only market. Where they might differ is in how tightly they enforce security of supply requirements - had all the installed gas generation been able to run there would have been problem.

>It's hyper annoying that it's barely to not possible to include our own CA into mobile Browsers so that they can use internal websites.

You can? Any MDM should be able to deploy internal CAs, and at least on iPhones the free Apple Configurator 2 software will let you make profiles you can then easily deploy a bunch of ways. Doesn't scale easily but it's free and easy for small numbers. Also very useful period even for an individual or family to bootstrap devices and make changes if you've got significant numbers of email accounts for example. I'm sure Android has some equivalent.
In newer cars with video displays and HD Radio capability, the screen can show a small image next to the song information. It's typically album cover art for the song that is playing, but a lot of stations just put their station logo up and keep it there.

Satellite radio had this capability very early, and HD Radio seems to want to keep up with that.

The data itself is sent on a sideband data channel that rides along with the traditional FM channel. Lots of links to read up starting here: https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/HD_Radio_(FM)

"Entire household for $39.00 per month compares favorably to ~$300 per month per person for boutique fitness classes"

Surely outside of a pandemic the at-home crowd isn't the same set of consumers that are willing to pay $300 per month for a gym membership.
Did you know the sector with the sharpest rise in union membership last year was media?

"Among the industries with a growing share of union membership is journalism, where 33 workplaces voted last year to organize with labor unions, according to Poynter, the media industry news outlet. In 2021, employees at Politico, Forbes, The Atlantic and Insider all joined NewsGuild, while journalists at MSNBC voted to organize with the Writers Guild of America East."

It's ok to reject a job for just about any reason, including a bad vibe. Do I happen to agree with your priorities? Absolutely not. Do I think you should try to find a job that clicks with you, especially in an incredibly favorable market like this one, definitely yes.
None of my self-hosted things are internet facing, so I use the DNS-01 challenge type. For internal DNS, I run the powerdns authoritative server. Each ACME client uses RFC2136 (TSIG) to update the _acme-challenge TXT record. I have a pdns lua policy script set up so that the only record that's allowed to be updated is the TXT record matching the TSIG name.

To allow Let's Encrypt to hit the DNS server, I run a public-facing dnsdist load balancer. It forwards the relevant TXT, CAA, DNSKEY, and NS queries to pdns and silently drops all other queries not required for ACME challenges.

I'd prefer that the internal hostnames wouldn't be leaked in the certificate transparency logs, but given that no services are exposed to the internet, it doesn't bother me enough to look for alternatives (eg. wildcard certs).
The methods used in this study sound almost exactly like a TENS unit (1). As someone with a spinal cord injury that almost left me a quadriplegic, and who has serious neuropathy as a result, I have found that TENS units do very little to help me. I hope this can help people though,

That's completely wrong to me. I don't follow somebody on twitter to read what they write specifically. I only know one or two people who write interesting content directly to twitter. I am in it specifically for the recommendations, and for content discovery.

And from a content producer's side, I want random people who follow me to read my tweets. How else could they find me in the first place? Just from retweets from my followers alone? If anything, I think that people are not seeing enough tweets outside of their filter bubble.
Thinking back on why I wanted to code, it was

- Entertainment. My computer did not have games, so coding was the next closest thing. Type in a game from a magazine, or make a lookalike game.

- Showing off to peers. It was fun to show off to friends what we coded up. Where we grew up it was a thing to make paint programs. UI state management, the trick with XORing lines until ready to paint it in.

- More entertainment. Later when computers got better and had more games, it was fun to pirate and crack them. And again share with friends.

Partly the problem with today is that there is so much easily available entertainment that you hardly need to do anything to fill your time with games and videos and then some. But, the peer factor is still there where you can show off a custom Roblox or Scratch game or something. So the trick is to find that peer group for your kids. How do you all deal with this?

I have huge FOMO living where we live that all the neighbors are going to be jock types that won't be such a peer group. And it's not exactly like you can go interviewing potential neighbors/students in the local school before you move some place - instead I'm in a situation where I will just need to move and cross my fingers.

I was thinking of using some kind of meetup site like nextdoor or facebook groups or something in a local radius to put together a crafting group where nerd-minded kids would meet maybe once or twice a week in our garages and we would leave them hands-off with a bunch of tools, supplies, and computers and just be around to answer questions. I wish there was a makerspace near our town because those seem like exactly the kind of environment I would like to foster.
>Children can learn programming or other skills later but playing with toys

Not debating you but I find it interesting how both your comments _differentiates_ "learn programming" vs "playing with toys".

When I learned coding at age 11, "programming a computer" _was_ "playing with a toy". Programming wasn't an "adult" job that grownups did. Instead, programming was like playing a music instrument or painting art with brushes.

That said, I agree that not all kids exposed to programming will think of it as play.
I really enjoy that Disney puts a lot of effort into making the "behind the scenes" edutainment to the point where it's a natural part of their brand.

I remember watching the making-of videos for the Lion King when I was little and being blown away that the artists went and watched actual lions and live-sketched them to try and capture the physical motions and emotions of the animal.

These kinds of steps are obvious to an adult but as a little kid it really helped me understand that movies like that are made through more or less obvious steps (want to draw a lion well? go look at a lion!) vs. magically coming into being.
I worked in infotainment for an Automaker. The engineers are fine. The hardware is often limited (because of expense or contacts), and the development timeline is 2-3 years.

Also, infotainment is not a make-or-break feature of the car. It might nudge people a little, but it’s not the thing, so it’s not as high a priority.

I will say for my former employer that I could get a better salary at almost any software company than there. The work was interesting though.
If you need some help or just want to talk, feel free to hit me up. I'd take you to dinner if it weren't for physical proximity and the house arrest, but I'd be happy to help with some groceries and lending an ear if you want. My email is in my profile.

Without having looked into any details I assume the parent is saying that the integer passed by value is a flag that is checked periodically and used to trigger a next step or to release a lock.

If it's passed by value it will never change inside the function and whatever is supposed to happen when it changes will never get executed. The integers should be passed by reference so when they change the function receiving them is aware of the update.
The etymology is more interesting than I expected. I would have expected Apple to coin it as a derivation of 'netcast' but apparently not[1].

I think people both aren’t making the logical connection for why they need more power for their current way of life. Also, the NIMBYism against geothermal may be even stronger than that against nuclear because of the governments involved.

Consider how much commerce is done in the US via truck. Those trucks average 6 miles per gallon diesel. That represents a huge amount of energy. But it currently relies on fossil fuels so people don’t think of it as being potentially served by renewable energy sources.
Under the Poisson process assumption the average rate directly characterizes the distrubtion, so it is very relevant to this discussion. The non-Poisson component of the phenomenon (correlated spikes in traffic due to events) are not well-characterized via averages, which is why the original analysis relaxed that limitation by examining a single worst-case traffic hour. Beyond that the Poisson process analysis is standard.

While 10k rps may be possible it would either require vastly exceeding 6M requests per day (and per hour) or some very non-standard traffic event (this could happen in practice, for instance email asset delivery is increasingly peaky due to modern email clients and can exhibit very large traffic spikes). As HN is primarily visited by human users spanning many organizations such a strongly correlated event seems unlikely.
(I wrote this) I wish I had clearer answers to those questions! The conclusion is just a little unsatisfying from a writing perspective—it's just too early to tell exactly what's going on. The quits data through most of 2021 don't look all that different from what we'd expect based on the pre-pandemic trend, though there were definitely more than anticipated, especially later in the year. But this is following a massively-disruptive pandemic that put a lot of people out of work and in general had a dramatic impact on the employment situation.

I think the most interesting part is the decrease in layoffs that coincided with the increase in quits. People aren't leaving that much more than before, but when they leave, they're doing so on their own terms.

A fusion reactor can conceivably provide a continuous, uninterrupted stream of energy, and from any location, while solar (and wind) energy can only be harvested intermittently, from certain specific locations.

The main issues with renewable energy sources today are electricity storage and transmission. If it weren't for these limitations, wind and solar would already be superior to other means of energy production.

Most likely problems with storage and transmission will be solved first, before fusion energy is proven to be commercially viable. However, there is no guarantee that they will be—especially in the case of transmission, which is primarily a political problem.

Even the sports franchises started out nobly. =)

The first few years of NHL and Madden titles for the Sega Genesis were revolutionary. They were the first games in their genres to somewhat accurately simulate their sports in a fast and fluid way.

Madden in particular was something like a tour-de-force of software engineering: a full 22 independent dudes characters on the field, actually playing their positions, following a realistic and deep playbook, nearly all of American football's arcane rules represented, and a nifty pseudo-3D playfield.

All written in assembly, on a 7mhz CPU. Mindblowing.

The first 3-4 years of annual updates were incredible. They were iterative, in the best possible software engineering sense of the word. Core ideas refined and polished, a few new key ideas added onto a strong base design.

Madden '93 (the third installment) is where it peaked for me; some say Madden '94.

Thanks for this. A question though, for someone who doesn't do web design. All those are CSS classes, or IDs I assume?

You're right, the example I gave is different from coding. I did change the subject a bit, sorry for that. By the way, my kids do some Micro:Bit programming whenever they want, and I chose not to force them into it, as in not having a structured 'learn block coding with dad' hour. If they want to do something with their Micro:Bit, they power up the computer and do it, for as long or little as they want. If they want my help, I'll help, and that's it.

Actually, I think Elixir's pattern matching is slightly worse than OCaml simply because there's no in-built syntax for multiple matches pointing to the same clause. Ex:

(* In OCaml *)
type t = A | B | C | D
match A with
| A | B -> "something"
| C | D -> "else"

And in elixir:

case :a do
a when a in [:a, :b] -> "something"
a when a in [:c, :d] -> "else"
end

And of course, you lose exhaustiveness from type information, but that's a preference.

But, more to the point, I think what GP's referring to is partial function definitions via pattern matching on the arguments. That is intoxicating, and I wish OCaml had that.
Unless it's a well defined technical solution or a very deep and narrow (well defined) topic, I've always found "the answer" to be spread across multiple webpages/sites/sources. To tackle this:

1. I have a coarse hierarchy of topic names as a directory tree

2. These directories have mostly text files in them but can also have PDF etc

3. Text files contain my summary/"the answer" followed by the relevant extract
from webpage (citation). There usually are multiple such citations

4. Since I mainly deal with a lot of textual context, I have mostly text files but there are situations where I need spreadsheets/pictures/video - in those cases, I save the webpages as PDF but maintain a parallel version of #3 with notes to refer to the native format when spreadsheets/pictures/video need to be involved
> It's difficult to become a voice for Safari, if Safari is hiding behind a hefty price tag.

This may be a cause for a lack of voices, but it's hardly the only (or I'd argue even the most prevalent) cause. 99.9% of the developers at the company I work for are on macbook pros, yet they only support Chrome. And the reason is simple: they don't want to support more than the one browser.

The decision was, of course, backed up by numbers, harvested after our product's use of Chrome-only features and "best on Chrome" style "help" answers.

It's a self-reinforcing loop.

Once you look at things that broadly then there are a lot of ways to prevent a launch. If SpaceX stole its rocket components from another company, then the local police could shut them down too.

We know it's acceptable for NASA astronauts to be in a far more dangerous workplace environment than the workers who built their rockets, so I don't see why a SpaceX crew would have the same safety requirements as a builder of a SpaceX rocket.

For example, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-rating_certification I see NASA's requirement for human-rated space travel is a mission loss risk of "no more than 1 in 270" for "up to 210 days". Given that SpaceX has roughly 10,000 employees, that would be about 30 employee deaths per year - far higher than most workplaces.

My ill-informed belief is that safety requirements for a private mission to Mars would fall under FAA jurisdiction, not OSHA. At the very least, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Aviation_Administratio... says "The first FAA licensed orbital human space flight took place on November 15, 2020"
> Even if the second one can be dismissed through proof of work magic or whatever the first and third points are still relevant and strong.

Nope. Paragraphs 1 and 3 have absolutely nothing to do with the current limitations and reasons as to why cryptocurrency donations are bad and should not be accepted. After all that is the point of the whole argument. Reasons like 'it will make us look bad' is not only terribly weak but it is a guilt by association and irrelevant to the cryptocurrency and the technology itself.

Given that they agree with Mozilla's reasons for dropping them whilst also repeating the same environment cases in the paragraph 2, it is heavily motivated by the second point.

BitPay accepts regulated stablecoins such as USDC, USDP, etc. What is so predatory or such and 'extremely risky investment' about them? I don't see how you can use that as a ponzi or even solely as an investment. Not only the environmental concerns argument (point 2) has been refuted to death too many times, using that as a reason to dismiss cryptocurrency donations on the basis of three PoW coins is again fallacious.
If you are going to pay for something, you want to pay for it in money if at all possible. Social problems arise when you pay for your spot on the road with your willingness to sit in traffic instead of a congestion fee. When you pay journalists in attention instead of cash. When you pay politicians in power instead of cash.

I think that in the case of journalism the problem is the hardest. I disagree with the author that the problem can just be solved by people doing local journalism. That pays less in both money and attention. The bottom line is that good journalism is a public good in an extremely strong sense, and is very unlikely to be provided by the market. But obviously the government employing an army of journalists is not any kind of solution either. Whereas we could much more easily implement congestion pricing, or pay politicians more money.
