I completely agree. My mother has been a partial quadriplegic since 1992 after a car accident. The moment there are broad cures for injury related paralysis, it'll be front page news.

The most impactful thing you can do to help people with paralysis is push for better wheelchair accessibility where you live. It's amazing how much of the world is not accessible to someone in a wheelchair.
Thanks alot ;)
You're correct. I was pulling the numbers from memory.

I think it may have been 2 mil requests/day, which would mean 23 rps for 1-5 vps (roughly lining up with the math of 5 requests/visit).
It is false to equate Disney with soviet and nazi propaganda, because Disney has to make a profit and compete with movies made by other capitalistic companies.

State sponsored movies in dictatorships are different because viewers have no other choices but to view what’s made by the government and has no goal of making a profit.
It's petty and spoiled.

Look at the job on the whole-- consider the pay, the work you'd be doing, your place in the organization, etc.

In the grand scheme of things, the software they use is a tiny part of it, and one you might even be able to change from the inside.

Also, Microsoft for all it's fault is pretty good at writing software. Maybe you're looking at it incorrectly. Or maybe they'll have a nice upgrade soon.

I wouldn't turn down an otherwise good job because of it. When the economy inevitably zig-zags (as it always does) and jobs are harder to come by, you might remember this moment either happily or not so happily.
Nope.

If you're managing a 100+ user channel, encryption matters fuck-all unless your invitation process is 100% airtight and every user has all their devices encrypted and locked up at all times.

Data will leak anyway so E2EE won't bring any real advantages.
We have that. It’s called a public library. Many have subscriptions to paywalled content.
As vblitz says: it's Ionic and Angular
I think this is an indication that app sandboxing is not good enough. It should be possible for the user to have control over everything necessary. The light that warns that the microphone is being used should also have functionality to disable it and to make the app "Request every time" or "Only when app is fullscreen" or similar. And if that is actually all happening, then sandboxing is working as necessary and therefore there is no actual trust issue, because the user doesn't have to trust the app anyway.
I am not sure it's true. You are hired for your skills so tomorrow you are another developer who can solve the tasks he is given in this specific tech environment.

>> You need to deliver solutions, you need to show the business the impact of those solutions

Most of the time people who interview (and eventually say yes/no) are tech people, discussing business problems and solutions is cute yet pretty useless. It's funny when you interview someone and he wants to look enthusiastic and tells you the information they found from the open source - and you go like "dude, you have no clue what's happening in these walls" )

I would go even further and say for me it would be a big red flag to waste time on "business impact" - I am going in as a programmer. From my experience, my "business impact" is somewhat close to a cleaner dude. And I don't want to take on additional (unclear) responsibilities I am not sure I know much about. Thank you, but I already know and do enough in my niche which happened to be software development and is a very specialised, demanding and valuable skill to have )
What I don't get is - do US universities not have libraries where you can borrow these text books?
In slovenian (tech) colleges, years ago most of the books were written by professors, and published directly by in-college publishers, so calculated to current prices, books cost 10-20eur (literally depending on thickness and size), and were resold and reused for many years. Even photocopied versions were available at a few photocopied places around, due to a size difference (A4 book shrinked down to two A4 pages, side by side on one landscape A4 page), and noone cared, not even the authors.

Checking the situation now, some are even available online, eg:

http://antena.fe.uni-lj.si/literatura/ed.pdf

Some are even unchanged from my times: https://www.fe.uni-lj.si/mma/Osnove_elektromagnetike_2016-02... (1999)

Basically, noone really cares.

I had to turn this off (not sure how it ever got turned on) because the Microphone indicator was on 100% of the time it was running (as it should be) while it searched for nearby devices through some kind of audio communication.
Young victims of schoolyard bullying could in the past retreat to safe spaces - a friend’s house, a favorite art or music teacher’s classroom, the computer club. Today, the bullies are posting cruel messages and media about you in huge group chats and creating fake social media accounts under your name to embarrass you. The abuse follows them into their bedrooms. There’s literally nowhere for them to go to hide. This is why tween suicide rates are skyrocketing, especially for girls.
Can you explain your objection? It looks like a sample area that the population has very little diversity and the station has more diversity then the population.
Are you ready to sacrifice yours and your family and friends convenience and comfort for system change? Because everyone will suffer in some degree until a new system takes root.

That's the hard part, I'm all up for overthrowing this shit but the consequences are always the biggest deterrent.
Or don't follow anyone (or follow your friends if they think it's a nice social signal). Put all the interesting people in lists and view the lists in https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ instead of the usual UI.
1) very expensive to do more in betweens

2) 60fps looks uncanny to viewers. we’re culturally accustomed to associating 24fps with feature films
There's lot's of them. Many are archived at https://palmdb.net , and many others are floating on the web.
Interestingly, in most of my classes, the professor-authored textbooks "lasted" the longest. Revisions were infrequent, and the professors would routinely tell you what changed when they did occur so you could continue using older versions

These were mostly electrical engineering (and a few software eng) courses, dunno if that has anything to do with it.

Ask HN: What's your solution for SSL on internal servers?
Lets encrypt has made SSL/TLS a no-brainer for websites on the public internet. Behind home routers, it's still a tedious topic. What's your (non-enterprise) solution?
.. more registration, and more active users.

No wonder there are frequent emails from Twitter with the subject "... don't be shy" and "... we miss you".
I loved Twitter when it was about reading tweets and retweets from people I followed. I don't follow many people/companies, just around 30 or so in total, most of them are either people I know in person or popular companies or products.

Nowadays my feed is a total mess of ads, things somebody liked, things some others follow, uninteresting recommendations, random topics and a lot of bullshit I don't care and are just noise to me.

I already deleted facebook several years ago and not missing it any single bit. I think my twitter account is following the same destiny pretty soon.
Element is still an UX clusterfuck.

I've been on IRC since its inception in the 90's and I've used ircII and BitchX etc. I'm no stranger to janky clients for communication tools.

Element is still in its death by a thousand cuts phase. There's nothing hugely wrong with it, but everything is a bit wonky. Just enough to be consistently annoying enough for me not to bother.

Summary: Matrix mostly good, Element bad. They should just copy Discord's UX 1:1, change the colour theme and work from there.
You could still self diagnose that with snorting some amphetamines :)

But true, this is the thing a doctor does after the checklist to confirm his diagnose.
Oh boy, time to get creative!
I see this more as intuition than a heuristic. If your are in a field where everything is OK 99.9% of the time, you can't help but have an intuition that there will never be any problems. Correct intuition needs to be fed positive and negative outcomes to be well balanced. If you are in a field where intuition is biaised, dont use it, rely only on data.

Not a bad suggestion (particularly now that libraries are increasingly digital-oriented), but I doubt I'd find a library in my corner of Northern England that subscribes to the New York Times.
Remember, some of the best work ever created was done by “members of the technical staff”. It’s not the label it’s the work results that matter unless there are external requirements or definitions. Engineering and science are disciplines, and there are often (legal) definitions of engineer. I am unaware of any such things for scientist although people assume an advanced degree.

Like some others, engineer suggests someone who works in an environment that has rules and constraints while developer operates in a more unrestricted environment or on less defined problems. But then, hacker was the best title and it could NEVER be claimed, merely demonstrated.
... well, we would like to make sure you can deliver value ASAP, I fail to see why it can be any different?
If you've removed your old edgy stuff years ago and someone digs up scraped old tweets, I'm not sure even Court of Twitter will admit that into evidence.
There are much better ways of doing that than what FP did. There are many great website builder tools that produce decent output.

I'm not saying we have to write all of it manually, but if you want to easily integrate it with other systems (php scripts,, templating engines, ...) it needs to be human readable.

Dreamweaver, contemporary with FrontPage, took a better approach and was loved by many designers much longer (tho by now everyone probably uses Sketch and Figma).
> I guess you could argue that you wouldn't evaporate all water in the kettle...

One does not have to argue for that interpretation - raising the temperature to boiling point, not boiling it dry, is indisputably the accepted and intended meaning of the phrase wherever English is spoken... though it would fit with a certain stereotype of scientists if a bunch of plasma physicists did not know how to make a pot of tea!
One thing you forgot:

An Engineer is just like a Developer, but an Engineer read it online on Hacker News once that if you call yourself an Engineer, some people will automatically assume that your code is maintainable, you design your app better, and you don't need stackoverflow.

The Engineer decided to change his/her title on LinkedIn (because nobody can actually check your real title). This Engineer (former Developer) then went on to look down on Developers because they are messy script kiddies and code monkeys that write bad code and copy from stackoverfliw.
It does. I have a Subaru with a head unit that stays powered on, and it has ran itself down more frequently than any other car I've had. The explanation I got from the dealer was that the residual drain on the battery is much higher, so there's less capacity to start the car. I keep a lithium ion jump starter charged and in the car, and I've had to use it a few times. If you can keep each and every OTHER draw on the battery down, it's fine.

The biggest thing that helped was realizing that the battery dies when the key fob was hung up with our other keys. Coincidentally, this was exactly the right distance for the car to constantly wake and sleep itself as it thought the key fob was entering and leaving its vicinity. Between adequate key fob faraday cages, making sure the interior lights are in the automatic or off position, and making sure all the doors are closed we haven't had a dead battery in a while.

What a pain in the ass.
I agree that it’s spoiled but they are a free being and they can choose whatever they want. You and I wouldn’t reject the job, but they can.

However I don’t think the feedback on their communication software really means anything to them. The recruiter it’s probably going to chuckle at that and move on to the next person thinking “wow we dodged a bullet”. It doesn’t matter what they think anyway because OP will be moving on as well.
That calculation is correct if you assume that by "boil water" they mean to bring the water to 100°C (which is what you'd use a kettle for usually).

However to go from liquid water to water vapor you need to add even more energy [0]. The enthalpy of vaporization for water is 2257 kJ/kg, it takes much more energy to boil water at 100°C than it takes to get there from room temperature.

Warming by 75 degrees + boiling = 2570 kJ/kg -> enough to boil 23 liters of water

I'm guessing in reality the energy needed to operate the kettles would lie somewhere in between, as a small part of the water will be boiled and most of it kept around 100°C. For 2L kettles the value seems in the right ballpark.

> ... If I understand your nonsensical ramblings correctly.

If you think they are nonsensical, you do not understand what I am saying.

Yes, countries can "work together without being part of the same trading bloc" but trade is not the limit of what Brexit changed.

Brexit removes us from the international legal agreements that underpinned that trade. It also removed us from the free movement clause, which is crucial to a lot of science-industry collaborations (the free movement principle was essentially invented to allow professional collaboration in the energy industry).

Finally it also removed us from the legal frameworks that underpin several European science funding agreements.

Every agreement has to be rewritten, at cost to the process. And every time it is rewritten, the net result for Britain is substantially worse than if we'd not done it. Because you cannot hope to get full membership of any club without agreeing to all the rules.

From the article:

> The UK is a participant, too. Its full involvement in ITER, however, will require first for Britain to "associate" to certain EU science programmes, something that so far has been held up by disagreements over post-Brexit trading arrangements, particularly in relation to Northern Ireland.

Here is just one example of that:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/feb/08/uk-and-euro...

From that article:

> The EU agreed to associate membership for the UK as part of the wider Brexit trade deal struck on Christmas Eve 2020 but it has still not ratified the deal or a similar one with Switzerland, held up by a dispute over a draft treaty binding the country to the bloc.

We didn't need to do any of this, there have been no benefits from any of this, and there are no meaningful projected benefits for any of this in our lifetimes.
I think they just rolled the dice on that one.

Spacex will probably IPO soon and needs Starlink to look like it could actually make money at some indefinite time in the future.
It's not a binary thing. It's not either they work together or they don't.

Under a common block, trading or otherwise, things are just easier and much closer together.

Consider only visas, travel and employment, the complications of these brought by Brexit already distanced any existing and future collaborations by some measure.

There is still collaboration of course, and there will be, but it's not what it was before.

And this negative trend of distance in collaboration is more worrying in an increasingly threatening environment
I think the main problem with bromo-dragonfly is that the active dose is somewhere around 200 micrograms, around 50-100 times more potent than what they were expecting (2cb-fly). In fact there’s very little other than lysergamides and some opioids that’s active at that level. I guess some sort of volumetric dilution might have helped, otherwise I t’s actually pretty difficult to dose that low.
The root of the hierarchy being one of the arbitrary drives seems a bit strange. Why is my USB stick (a physical thing I can hold) part of a Linux partition of my hard disk?

Having fixed letters is a bit antiquated, but drives as separate entities seems to match the real world quite well.

I really hate what is happening to infosec/cybersecurity. There is this huge push to get anyone and everyone into the field due to the talent shortage, and now it is near impossible to find a signal in all of the noise that is marketing, hot takes, politics, "career building", and memes. Twitter is especially terrible.
Well, it still works, but the UX is terrible, and usually one has to reload the page after something like 20 clicks or so because it stops responding or UX elements disappear.

So yeah, not really that subtle, I agree.
I would argue that futures (and options) are still gambling. You are literally betting a price of something will be over/under a threshold on a certain date. Sports betting uses over/under and scores as thresholds, this seems no different. People might say its different than sports gambling because it is chance/luck with a team but you can do in depth research on sports teams just as much as futures/options and at the end you are still guessing and betting money.

Cryptocurrencies trade like stocks and don't operate as an actual currency for the vast majority of use cases. I like to think the phase we are in now is like pre-dotcom bust where there were startups with silly plans getting VC money. I think there is some technology (maybe ETH smart contracts and decentralized apps?) that could come out of this and maybe some businesses emerge that are legit.
>I upvoted you, even though "never" is a big word, because though I think about history a lot, no counter-examples readily come to mind, sadly. Except me, I'm usually right. Just ask me. Right? :)

That's the thing about the age of enlightenment and founding of the USA era. You didn't have the internet or reddit or whatever to steal your attention. You could work through these sorts of things and when you do, you discover tons of wisdom. The founders of the USA provided no exceptions to free speech. Afterall, truly there should never be any. In fact, the freedom of religion is an even larger non-exception. Religion isn't defined, there are no exceptions.

Hundreds of years there were no exceptions and only recently have flawed humans thought up exceptions
I believe this is the original/primary source for this news. Can someone confirm?
The NSPE do not like random ppl calling themselves engineers.

I went to an engineering school (for computer science) and everyone faculty and students was very particular about this.

Some jurisdictions have legal requirements on calling yourself an engineer.

The correct term is software developer. Some bigcos who are a juicy enough target for NSPE or government agencies have been reached out to, which is why we see the job titles change now and then.
JS is popular because it's the language you can use natively on client-side web pages. You need to know it for the front-end and front-end webdevs were sold an easy way to do full-stack with Node.js. It might maintain it's momentum for a while, especially while WASM requires JS to integrate, but lets not pretend that JS is popular because it's an exceptionally good or well designed language. If it were so great there wouldn't be A) so many languages that compile-to JS, B) so many languages embedded-in javascript (that weren't traditionally), or now C) frameworks like Phoenix Liveview/Blazor/Livewire that try to hide it from the developer altogether. If you catch people gushing how much they love javaScript it's probably because it was their first programming language and they're really gushing that they love programming.
Those are used for the confinement coils. Incredibly, JET uses copper coils. You can't run those all day, so the flywheels are used. The last machine I worked at worked the same way. 16 train motors with 1 ton flywheels spinning at 1600 RPM to be an 11 MW power supply for 1 second every few minutes.

Plasma heating in JET is done via NBI+ICRH and is about 59 MW.

This is wrong. At least, it is not true generally. I wrote a 1:1 port of my C++ chess engine, and after a bit of fiddling with compiler options the Nim version was faster. In fact, when using a delayed garbage collector, the program was even faster than when using reference counting.
Yes, countries work together by making agreements. UK decided to burn perhaps the largest and most fruitful agreements ever made between European countries. What's nonsensical is claiming one can work together after doing the exact opposite of that.
Of course this is great news, however, it is worth taking into account it took them 25 years just to double the energy output. They are also nowhere near long sustained operation of such reactors. It really requires an order of magnitude increase before nuclear fusion becomes a realistic prospect in two decades.

I understand this just to validate design choices and it is a good step forward. However, it doesn't make nuclear fusion a reality in two decades unless further records are set using this design
I find it amazing that the will to politicize everything can't really stop at nothing.
> On a LinkedIn page that appears to belong to Morgan, however, she is listed as a partner at Demandpath, a “boutique micro-fund investing” firm. A LinkedIn profile seemingly belonging to Lichtenstein also places him at Demandpath.
