Getting “riddled” specifically means to get holes put in you, as in with bullets. It’s a very fitting term for having lots of security holes.
A single USB xHCI controller is not bottlenecked to 480Mbps globally, since the multiple ports aren't actually sharing a 2.0 physical layer. The "root hub" isn't like a normal hub in that sense. So you don't need a controller per port, as long as the controller is designed to support this.

Quoting the xHCI spec:

> In past generations of USB host controller implementations, there was a 1:1 correspondence between a host controller interface and USB bandwidth. The xHCI diverges from this model in that it enables vendors to tailor the bandwidth available through its root hub ports to the needs of the vendor’s target application space. The xHCI can support the legacy model where the bandwidth of a single USB is shared across all its root hub ports, a “bus per port” model where the full bandwidth of a USB is available on every root hub port, or any
combination in between.

I believe most real 3.0 implementations do it per port, or at least have a bunch of instances, because it doesn't really make any sense to do otherwise. You're not really saving much money by somehow having a global bottleneck equal to the PHY bandwidth. Of course, it's possible for the controller to be bottlenecked upstream in some other way (e.g. by DMA bandwidth), but it would be very weird to find an xHCI controller with a single 480Mbps domain for all 2.0 ports IMO.
In Switzerland it's 4 days restricted diet (zero fibers etc), a day fasting with liquids or sugar, and strong laxatives the evening before and the morning of the action. You sleep (aka pass out for like a blink) during the intervention then wonder at your incredibly clean pipe on TV. 5 years later you come again if they found and removed something, otherwise after 10.

Well, it would have been a medium-sized deal in ONE specific situation where you'd have orders of magnitude bigger fish to fry.
The optimal energy mix from a cost perspective is probably not 100% wind and solar so this doesn't sound like a realistic scenario. I am not aware of any good research that has tried to model that scenario but it probably exists. Some of the assumptions, like how much storage you would need, will have a huge impact on the outcome.
> Especially if these fusion power plants are actually simpler to build than fission plants.

That really is the only hope. Even if the plant itself costs more money to build, the reduced regulation and ability to build almost everything on-site may greatly simplify the process.
To be honest, if the employer gives proper consideration to the fact that personal time is being spent on a take home task (sounds like you're doing that if its a 2 hour task over a week), I much prefer take home to coding "live" or answering questions. The latter options just don't feel natural, and aren't at all reflective of my actual skills.
As a Russian, it is hard for me to find those kinds of repos. Those who think Russia should be cut off from the internet don't realize how this will affect Kremlin propaganda and what could result in 10 years from now.

Isolation will unleash a terrible beast that will not stop until it has wiped out half of Europe. Take a look what post-WW1 isolation did to Germany, for example.

Russia needs more Internet access, not less, it helps to fight the kremlin propaganda inside Russia.
A challenge for the best assembly code!

Docker is reasonably performant only on Linux. On macOS it's a fat slow VM that bogs down the whole machine (unless you make the VM even slower by giving it fewer CPU cores), has a horrendously slow network file system, and it's managed by a needy Electron app.

And don't forget that all new Macs are now ARM-based, so x86-based Docker images don't work.

My gripe with C is that everyone pretends it's portable, but only care about porting to one (their) platform. It's easy: just use pkg-config/docker/nix. Windows? macOS? Who cares!? Just run a Linux VM!
Hi,

A multi-state NATO-led intervention is not NATO.

Iraq was wrong and for Libya and Kosovo there were plausible indications for actual peacekeeping missions. Since both had severe issues at the time, which weren't solved in case of Libya.

One of the things is that US ( after 9/11) had their own reasons for overdoing "war on terrorism". Which I do in fact don't agree with as with many others then - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_the_Iraq_War ( it triggered the largest protest in the world . I joined the protest 2 times as 16 year old fyi )

But again, that is not NATO and they don't trigger any article.

Note: Kosovo indeed wants to say hi, concerning NATO membership - https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/kosovo-parliament-urges...
Which is why the title calls out battery storage, and the article spend about a third of it's word count talking about it. The price of battery storage has also fallen dramatically.

One knock often made against solar+battery is the cost of replacing battery storage over the lifetime of the plant, but such criticisms often don't take into account the fact that replacement batteries in 5 and 10 years will likely cost a fraction of what they do now.

The fact is a lot of countries already have enough gas plant capacity to act as 'peaker' plants to top up solar+battery.

Just before I went on lunch,I watched someone in Russia going to a shop with a camera and just filming some random stuff and how much it costs, like fruit,veg,etc. An average pensioner was sitting on probably $200-300 pension.

Mojeek Search Index Now 5B Pages and Counting
Dear Mojeek community,

Today we can now update the index-size timeline once again, and this time it’s a very big milestone, 5 billion pages!

Whilst other alternative options in search have stayed tied to Big Tech indexes, we’ve continued to plug away on our mission to provide the world with a true alternative in search. A search solution which doesn’t require a relationship with a company that doesn’t share our perspective on many important issues.

This means that when you search on Mojeek, you are providing no support to a company whose business model is based on harvesting the data of its users, tagging them with aspects of their history and demographics, and selling access to this package off to the highest bidder.

If you’d like to celebrate this milestone with us, we invite you to come talk search on https://community.mojeek.com
The advantage is not having to use a third register to swap two values around. On systems like x86, registers are in very short supply. It's not quite as relevant now as x86 has had XCHG[0] for a long time now. Compilers are quite good at detecting when it should be used so you don't often have to explicitly write the XOR trick. XCHG also doesn't corrupt your flags register.

I buy lottery tickets when the prize is really large. My four best friends and I will chip in and we'll buy a few tickets. Then we'll spend the next week or two on our whatsapp group having fun about what dumb s*t each one will do with the money, what kinds of pranks we'll be able to lay on each other, etc. It's lots of fun and for about ten bucks, it's money very well spent. It wouldn't be this fun if we were just pretending to have bought tickets.
I'm a full stack developer and I can't workout how to package my experience
I've got a lot of experience in a lot of different types of development. (I regularly write in Python, JavaScript and C#, and sometimes in Kotlin, Swift, PHP etc... I have never run a big Kafka/Hadoop cluster or some high performance system in akka/erlang. Or writen enough lisp). I'm pro relational database, less so no-sql unless a good fit. I like JSON fields. Prefer redis to speed things up.

I've built huge web platforms and worked in almost every frontend framework. Plus about 10 years on and off Unity experience.

I run a small agency on my own and get on well with a number of clients.

However, it's immensely difficult to get a handle on it all, a lot of the projects I do are "difficult" ie require a range of skillsets that I'd struggle to find a single developer to cover all the bases.

I can't work out, what if anything, if I was to try to become "more sensible" what I would restrict myself to in order to stop streching myself so thinnly across so many different technologies and enviroments.

My first job for 4-5 years was managing teams of 10-20 as a Technical Project Manager, and I moved into seriously delivering the technology over the last 10.

I feel like the answer is to provide a much bulkier up front process (planning / design / ux) in order to grow the value of the work I do, but I've kind of specialised myself in doing the development work as quickly and cost effectively as possible. Obivously that means sometimes there are problems, but in general, as I've delivered so quickly, I'm still about 10x under market rate. And I don't feel it's my world to do design/ux.

I have regularly been involved in RapidStarts. ie 2 day hackathons where I delvier a working protype ready for presentation to CEO/CTO level people, and have generally shone in these situations.

Working like this is breaking me though, so I'd like to sensibly move to something else or start doing things differently.

Perhaps it is just working in a job or working as a day rate contractor? Or selling my business/skills differently.

If I was to get a job, what role should I aim for?

Any thoughts appreicated!
Keyboard warrior, go take some time off and match my donation to UNHCR if you care.
Well all know what the "solution" here is: to have multiple browser vendors, each optimising for something else. Imagine having a lightweight browser ran a bit slower but could run on a potato with 512MB or RAM. Or one that optimises for viewing static documents (you know - websites) and so uses barely any CPU when idle, but might not support all the crazy JS features.

Of course, having turned browsers into virtual machines, there isn't much specialisation that can be done without breaking things. Might it be time to create a subset of features that sites could limit themselves to and allow browsers to use a simpler and faster render pipeline? You know, like what we thought AMP was going to be before it turned out to have Google's monopolistic shit smeared all over it.
China has ditched the AP 1000 technology now. They are building no more of those reactors. So even in China it was a relative failure.

I'll add that there's good reason to think the data from China about nuclear projects being completed on time is invalid. There are cases where at the official start date for construction on some of their plants there was already much visible work that had been completed. Great way to be on schedule, just delay when you say you actually started.

The catastrophe was the financial implosion of Westinghouse and the great damage it did to Toshiba.

That's concerning.. Should I rather use a full 64bit data field + masking ? I'm a bit naive about portability.
I don't know if you're expressing a common misconception here, but a lot of Americans also think general anaesthetic is widely used for wisdom teeth removal, and it isn't. What is widely used is deep sedation, a combination of ketamine and benzos which keeps the patient calm and, the nice part, prevents any memories of the event from forming. It's maybe an extra hour of recovery, same-day procedure in either case.

Post-care is a few day's worth of entry-level painkillers unless the patient gets a dry socket. We use acetaminophen for post-treatment rather than paracetamol, since it's better (never understood the British obsession with that stuff, it's nasty business).

Anywhere else I would walk away from a terrible joke like that, but this is HN. I'm joking.
So many interesting comments around defining a healthy lifestyle. We often look at health in general terms - i.e. how things work on average. This works really well to find generic risk factors, like smoking, excessive drinking, pollution, etc. These things are bad for everyone.

Our bodies are super complex and there is huge variability between individuals. We label certain foods with specific as good and bad, but we know that there is large individual variability in the glycemic response to the same foods. So how can we know if we are eating healthy? I think future of health will need to be more individualized - I need to figure out what is healthy for me, and it's likely to be different for you.

I know there are a wide range of products that try to help with this from DNA testing to glucose monitoring. A lot isn't really viable for the masses due to various factors like price, more research needed, etc. But it makes sense to me that if we better understand our individual bodies and take action that we can reduce (but probably not eliminate) certain risks - like cancer, dementia, etc.

Thanks for the Forklift recommendation. I've used Path Finder off and on for years, and it has some advantages over regular finder. But it doesn't seem to have enough differences, and their distinguishing features are not readily apparent. Path Finder also has features like upload to S3, but they put that under the menu (Commands -> upload to ).

Will definitely give Forklift a try.

Not only that, but this is an interview question. It isn't helpful at all to judge the quality of code in isolation; nobody's going to write perfect code in an interview setting, especially one in which the candidate can't have a conversation with the interviewer. When I conduct code interviews with candidates, we pair on projects. The candidate is asked to complete the task without regards to how clean the code is. We then have a conversation afterwards about how to clean things up, solve for complex cases, etc. It's much better signal to talk through these things to get the candidate's insight than it is to just get a chunk of code at the end that may-or-may-not meet the linting guidelines of my company.

I've interviewed hundreds of engineers in the last twenty years. I've been (and am) a hiring manager for many of them. I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole, and I'd run away as a candidate if my git commits were being judged as part of a coding interview.

These "metrics" are for conversation, not for automated "judgement."
You can get many "chip-on-board" (COB) LEDs with more than 200 Lumen / Watt in the 2700 - 6500 K range. They are blindingly bright, emitting up to 2.000 Lumen from a 5 mm² surface area, enough to permanently damage your retina if you get too close to them. A while ago I built a small light strip with several such LEDs, less than 25 € LED cost for more than 5.000 Lumen (a suitable control unit is around 10-30 € depending on whether you want it programmable and dimmable or not). So you could easily build a setup that delivers 100.000 Lux (maximum peak brightness you find outside during the summer at noon), though I'm not sure you'll enjoy it. Great for aquariums though.

Why are you bullish about cost decline in nuclear? We've heard that song and dance before. Nuclear, unlike renewables, doesn't have a sustained and demonstrated tendency to get cheaper. If anything, the opposite has happened.
You are right. That was probably dumbed down too much. I'll fix it.
Typically in Russia it was possible not to support actions of the government even when working for the government directly or indirectly. The threat of being fired was empty as bosses did not want to report to superiors that some people did not participate in official campaigns. But this time the threats became real and an option to keep the mouth shut no longer exists.

> even in the absence of external factors, you may get cancer

That's like saying "even in the absence of lead poisoning, your child could still be retarded".

> You could live in a bubble

...they point is we do live in "a bubble", it's called Earth, and we can work to make this a cleaner and less toxic bubble.

I know perfectly well that cancer is a natural component of aging. And I also know that advances in anti-aging and regenerative medicine will make it possible to live longer and for this very reason cancer will be MORE of problem in the future and for future generations. Heck if modern medicine could enable my children to reach a theoretical max age of 250 years, I don't want them to only achieve let's say 50% of that achievable lifespan-increase because we've left them a "poisoned bubble" to live in.

It's amazing how little people want to pay attention to the environment and justify this by arguments of "but wrong thing X could still happen in regardless of environment" (ignoring that its probability would be 20% lower in a different environment). And when we do, we focus on fuzzy global properties of the environment that are hard to predict and have uncertain effects (eg. "global average temperature") instead of all the toxic stuff that can be easily traced and measured and where reduction would have impacts (measurable if people would be able to spend the money and relax some "ethical" rules to properly measure them...).

> The only evidence that bureaucracy is increasing that is given is … a Twitter poll?

If the thing you are talking about is bloody obvious people are often willing to take it on faith or to use low quality evidence as gesturing towards an idea.

Bureaucracy has been increasing on a long run trend since the invention of writing. Record keeping, procedures and laws are among the earliest uses of writing. More humans both in absolute numbers and as a proportion of the population than ever before are literate, i.e. capable of productively taking part in a bureaucracy. Universal schooling makes people more obedient to orders, more accepting of ranking and less creative, less likely to fuck up standard procedure.

Non-state non-religious bureaucratic organizations basically started with the Dutch East India Company. In 1900 most people even in the Netherlands lived on farms. Now most people work for companies and companies are made of bureaucracy. Perhaps 30% of the employee are in some sense knowledge workers. They all interface with bureaucracy regularly. Everybody fills out forms or at least knows what that means. In 1870 most French people didn’t speak standard French. Standardization of language is a consequence of bureaucracy.

Growing bureaucracy; it’s bloody obvious.

> This is war, but everywhere I look the lights are on and people only save if there's a price spike

I refuelled the smaller of our two cars this morning and paid around €1.80/litre - there's our price spike. I certainly had a "Oh my $deity, this is expensive!" moment while standing at the pump.

On the other hand, my wife is taking our eldest child into town for a hospital appointment today. It's not as though we can choose not to make that journey (I dearly wish it weren't necessary, but that's another story). So, they have to travel. In round figures she can expect to use 5 litres of fuel in the car for the return trip, so that's €9 of fuel.

I'm absolutely aware that the car doesn't just have costs associated with fuel, but it's the cheapest smallest model that that manufacturer makes, it was around €10,000 on the road, all taxes included, and it's already several years old. Fuel economy figures are 4.5 l/100 km aka 52 US mpg aka 63 UK mpg "combined".

To make the journey by public transport would take pretty much the same time from our home to the hospital but the connection only works twice per hour, so that means she should expect additional waiting time at least on the return trip, which the car doesn't have.

The kicker? The train ticket for my wife would be €30 for the round-trip. My son would travel free but only because I paid for an annual railcard for him already, covering his journey to school.

So even with Europe at war, it's still apparently significantly cheaper for us to travel by (ICE) car. Which feels wrong :(
