> using a class instead of a struct

I'd never heard that before... how would that make a difference?
Yes. At least if you want people who have to talk to lawyers to use the code. Lawyers don't like that. For some anecdotes see this talk https://youtube.com/watch?v=MkJkyMuBm3g (worth the hour, althoug Rob Landley write the same thing on his website too but to lazy to Google that.
Nice one and an interesting twist from the classic Wordle. If I may one small suggestion, please add a clear and/or backspace button. Like the buttons present on most real calculators: CE (current entry), C (clear), AC (all clear). I know that you can click on an occupied cell and clear it, but backspace is more convenient :-)
The question is: will sanctions stop Putin from conquering Ukraine? If not, then I don't think you can say we're doing anything to help them.

I'm not saying that Kasparov is necessarily correct in his thinking. The military option of the US/EU/NATO sending a joint communication telling Russia to lay down their arms or face war is incredibly dangerous. But openly considering it does seem necessary to me and it might be inevitable.

Is Putin an irrational actor? Right now, we're showing him that we won't attack him militarily no matter his actions.
When comparing Norway's mean average temperature to the rest of the world, it is clear that it is significantly cooler.

What about all the other browsers?
> There also is one big browser implementer who doesn't really _want_ the "playful web" to exist and would prefer that everyone live inside of apps.

No. There's one humongous browser implementer who couldn't care less about consensus or what other browser vendors think. This vendors ships literally hundreds of new APIs every year and pretends they are now standards that everyone else must implement.

Too bad developers believe them.

This “leave it on overnight “ is a minor point of contention with me and the IT department currently, because I work from home and electricity prices are insane.

Our Windows is set up to patch overnight, which means wake up at some random time then just sit there consuming power. That doesn’t fly with me so I unplug the power so it doesn’t do that…
Russian nuclear “de-escalation” of future war (2019)
> There is no benefit to society from allowing this.

Sure there is. We get a financial system that's independent of banks and governments. I don't care how much energy it consumes, that's a worthy goal.

Also, it's not even 1% of global energy consumption and even that calculation is based on rather questionable assumptions like "energy usage is proportional to bitcoin price". If you want to stop the burning of fossil fuels, what you need to do is advocate against trade with not only China but also all western countries whose luxurious lifestyles are literally dependent on such wasteful use of resources. Gotta level heavy economic sanctions against all the highly polluting developed nations until they put a stop to it.
This is not true, and this mindset is sometimes referred to as ‘the bigotry of low expectations’

I have observed children one might believe as ‘stuck’ in an unruly category transition into one that seems ‘gifted-from-the-start’.
Cool. Feel free to DM me if you have questions about the Boston area. (Contact info's in my HN profile; I saw you're into dataviz and would

We're trying to be honest but optimistic at the same time. E.g. there's this crazy villain Putin who's trying to destroy Ukraine, that's why we had to move to a safer place, but there's a very strong Ukrainian Army that heroically defends against the bad guys, and we will eventually win and come back. My girls are pretty strong-willed and aren't easily scared, so they've been doing pretty well through this ordeal.
Cool game, thanks for showing!
> it's not reasonable to expect the following driver to constantly be considering the possibility that the driver in front will slam on the brakes for no reason

Whether or not it's reasonable is immaterial. If you constantly consider the possibility of the cars around you to do something unexpected, then you're more likely to avoid death and destruction. As well as prevent the death and destruction of the people around you. It's called defensive driving.

Maybe it's unfair, or too much to ask, or just too difficult. But it's reality.

I'm rooting for self driving cars because I believe that, theoretically, they'll do a much better job than people. In the long run.

However, today, you have to pay attention or you might die. And even if you pay attention you still might die.

My dad told me a story about a coworker he had who was in a car accident. He was sitting at a long line in the highway at a tollbooth. It was foggy. My dad's coworker was watching the fog behind him like a hawk because he didn't feel safe just sitting completely stopped in the highway. A semi-truck appeared out of the fog moving at high speed. My dad's coworker cranked his steering wheel and tried to accelerate off to the side of the road but got rear ended by the truck. He was lucky. Because he was already headed away, this car got bumped out into a field. His car was destroyed and he got a bunch of injuries, but he lived. The people in front of him in the line were not lucky. A bunch of them died.

It's not fair or reasonable. But being constantly considering possibilities saved this guy's life. The other people are dead.
Within the article it claims:

"Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched a preliminary investigation into Tesla after hundreds of owners reported that their vehicles would sometimes unexpectedly slam on the brakes for no apparent reason."
I know you're not responding in good faith, but I want to respond with actual quotes from the Mueller report, since this is on a public forum.

> "While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."

> "[I]f we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment."

> “Our investigation found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations,” Mueller wrote. “The incidents were often carried out through one-on-one meetings in which the President sought to use his official power outside of usual channels. These actions ranged from efforts to remove the Special Counsel and to reverse the effect of the Attorney General’s recusal; to the attempted use of official power to limit the scope of the investigation; to direct and indirect contacts with witnesses with the potential to influence their testimony.”

> "the President engaged in a second phase of conduct, involving public attacks on the investigation, non-public efforts to control it, and efforts in both public and private to encourage witnesses not to cooperate with the investigation."

In case it's not obvious, the point of obstructing justice is to prevent facts from coming out.

In the context of minnesota, road salt is used on most flat or heavily trafficked roads. Steep inclines and intersections all use grit or small gravel instead or or in addition to salt.
I have two Oculus Quest headsets, so I might try this. I bought a rock climbing Oculus app that is well done, it really feels like you are climbing (having to stretch to grab a rock outcropping, etc.) but that app triggers fear of heights feelings.
It doesn’t even help miners really because the difficulty will just adjust. I don’t think these guys even understand the basics of what they do.

The only way I could see it helping is if they have all Nvidia cards and other people have some AMD lol.
We should advocate for two step authentication everywhere, so a password leak alone cannot give the attacker access.
Why did you choose Indianapolis for the comparison?

Why not Minneapolis, or Cheyenne, or some other North American city that is also away from the coasts? Why not Regina?

I think part of the problem is that because EVs are still new, people are going to expect or demand reliability. It's only better if it's better in every way.

When I worked in a cold city, you would occasionally hear people say, "Sorry I'm late for work, boss. Car wouldn't start, and I had to get a jump."

Because it's new, saying, "Sorry I'm late for work, boss. It's cold, so my car had less range and I had to stop at the Slurp-n-Burp to recharge" isn't going to be met with the same level of sympathy.

Finland and Sweden haven't asked to be in NATO. It was clear that Germany was not even willing to send defensive weapons to Ukraine. So I don't think the NATO countries were ready to fight over Ukraine, including the US. I don't know if Germany would go to war to protect Gotland, but if Swedes think it could happen maybe they should join NATO? That would clarify the situation one way or another.
Please read the article:

"Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched a preliminary investigation into Tesla after hundreds of owners reported that their vehicles would sometimes unexpectedly slam on the brakes for no apparent reason. According to the agency, these incidents, known as "phantom braking," sometimes happened at highway speeds."

I'm fine with this, battery life is outstanding lately. My major frustration with Android is Googles automated approach to everything. For that reason alone I'm considering moving back to ios after more than a decade.
I'm curious... if Creative Commons can't even create a public domain license that applies to both US and Europe, then what would it actually take to do so? Seems insane that any system can't accept "this is public domain" as all you need.
Frankly I would pick that over ads any day.
>Why are we supporting the creation of nuclear power plants?

Because the alternative is fossil fuels that will render the WHOLE of the earth uninhabitable for millennia. We don't have the technology to migrate 100% to renewable energy at the moment, and fusion is perpetually 10 years away. We need to do something.
This is a bit of a strange article coming from Axios who does a lot of coverage on the greener side of the future.

The cold hard truth: weaker product offerings (see the domestic US companies outside Tesla) have very poor response to colder weather all other companies have accounted for it and the drop off is pretty minimal.

Thanks Axios for wasting our time and pointing out that if you buy an inferior product expect and inferior outcome under the guise of some winter boogeyman for EV performance.

All nuclear power is not created equal.

Yes, some existing designs are dangerous --- but there is no technical reason nuclear power can't be made much, much safer.

As an example, the US military is designing nuclear power units that can be easily and safely shipped and setup by minimally trained personnel in the field. Similar units could be used for local backup power in the US.

I imagine a world where governments get together and mandate that all online passwords use the same standard of password requirements and salt/hashing at the backend. Penalty should be 10% of your gross revenue.

While they are at it mandate some standards of customer service if your business exceeds $1M in gross revenue (must have a "get human" button and the call hold time shall not exceed 15 minutes).

I know that sounds like a fantasy utopia, but I remember a time in the 70s when there was a serious push for consumer advocacy in the US.
In chess the end justifies all means. You can win with only the king left doesn't matter if the others died form radiation and it also doesn't matter if the chess board is still usable after the game.

Which is funny, because unstructured exploratory learning by definition increases diversity of thought, but diversity isn’t the goal of large industrial systematic systems.
Would it be appropriate to use some of the charge to keep the battery at its optimum temperature?

I assume there would be an optimum where heating would offset the reduced charge at colder temperatures.

How does the Unlicense most accurately reflects your intentions? The Unlicense has three different components: grants (paragraph 2), no warranty clause (paragraph 4) and the dedication to the public domain (paragraphs 1 and 3). Everything but the PD dedication is common to other PD-equivalent licenses so I believe you have two intentions:

1. You want the PD dedication whenever it works.

The dedication clause is unfortunately most problematic in that, for example, it never works in jurisdictions where copyright laws are recognized but no actual dedication to the public domain is possible. The complexity of CC0 solely exists to make it effectively PD-equivalent even in such cases.

2. You don't like "lawyer speaks" and prefer shorter licenses.

Okay, unfortunately CC0 is bulky and while legally absurd I can somehow relate to that line of thought. But does that mean the PD dedication clause should exist in the license itself? No! You can easily make a PD-like license by writing your own dedication plus very permissive and short license like zero-clause BSD. In this way your intention to the dedication remains explicit (or even stronger) and you can pick legally safer licenses. Indeed this is my preferred method for the dedication [1].

Also remember, the actual SQLite "license" [2] from which the Unlicense claims to be inspired is not the license. It is just a dedication and words of blessing. The actual license, in case the dedication doesn't work, is available for purchase elsewhere [3]. The Unlicense authors are seemingly ignorant of this fact.

[1] See https://github.com/lifthrasiir/rust-strconv/blob/master/LICE... for the example. (It eventually got into the Rust standard library, hence weird triple licensing.)

Trust dies in darkness: Shedding light on Samsung’s TrustZone Keymaster design [pdf]
The NIST guidelines address that in a much more straightforward way: maintain a list of known bad passwords (e.g., HIBP) and prohibit users from using any of those. Character class requirements are pointless.

I hate that. (At least allow a password instead.)
The reason I’m making the comparison is that there are reports of phantom braking when Teslas aren’t in Autopilot.

The same vision-based system is used for AEB in Teslas. Subarus use a vision-based system for AEB but don’t seem to experience phantom braking.

I think you could reasonably conclude that autopilot aside, a vehicle can safely use a vision-based system for AEB without phantom braking being a huge issue.
I agree, there is so much interesting “You are there” type Oculus content.

I decided to love the Oculus ecosystem, while maintaining my dislike for Facebook social media, etc.
For sure, I keep as much space in front of me as possible to avoid touching the car in front. I just do not expect everyone else to.

Alex put a lot of effort into this feat, which as far as I'm aware no one else ever seriously even attempted to train for. Listening to him speak it is obvious that he has closer relationship with his own mortality than most people, even other extreme sports enthusiasts. I think it is too convenient to look at someone like Alex and try to attribute their accomplishments to them being a freak of nature in some way, as opposed to being a normal person who just dedicated themselves to the problem more than anyone else, not to mention that it is doubtful our understanding of neurology is even good enough to make such claims in the first place, so I remain skeptical.

Writing passwords down is inevitable. Having to remember more than two truly strong passwords is a ridiculous requirement to impose on the general population, and we live in a world where we need access to dozens of different accounts which ideally are supposed to all have different passwords.

We either need password managers or we need to do away with passwords entirely.

There is now! Why it took so long is anyone’s guess.
I suggested my co-workers, at least half-seriously, that upon mandatory password change the old password should be added to an internal website.

That seems like a good way to ensure people don’t use stupid passwords: public embarrassment.

I personally recommend donating to https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/donate, they're the forefront of Ukrainian military help at the moment. For humanitarian donations, Ukrainian Red Cross is reputable too https://redcross.org.ua/en/donate/

As for political support — pushing the government to increase sanction pressure, seizing Russian corrupt assets, increasing Ukrainian support, pushing for NATO no-fly zone all helps.
I doubt nvidia would have complied with their demands anyway, but the new demand "make all your code open source or else we'll release it ourselves" gives them absolutely no incentive to comply at all. If the choices are you can have your source out there but unlicensed so it's illegal for anyone else to use it, or you can choose to legally let anyone else use your source -- why would nvidia ever choose the latter?

The original version of the demand at least gave nvidia some business incentive to comply. I don't think they've thought through their demands very well.

While I agree in principle, pragmatically (in the US at least) it would be orders of magnitude easier to build out our EV charging network and increase the all-season range of EVs than to build out a massive rail network on par with both our interstate road network and local highway networks.
I'd say a 50% drop in range IS a big deal.

There's none of that with ICE vehicles.
> can actually result in worse passwords than otherwise

Does actually. I still require some of the password "rotation" schemes folks would use when we were forced to change them monthly (not a typo, sadly):

1qaz2wsx -> 2wsx3edc -> 3edc4rfv...

Pass1word -> Pass2word -> Pass3word...
Your library seems absolutely great. I can't believe I've never stumbled upon it before since I've literally gone looking for stuff exactly like this several times and never found anything very good.

Oh thanks! The pages I found from a search didn't mention this at all (probably because they were largely about how Microsoft Edge enables the scrolling by default, and the Chromium flag itself not being the main focus).

Terrible Title and egregiously so as that asteroid never changed its course as that's not a reasonable possibility. It was the lack of a proper estimation of the asteroid's calculated trajectory that was the issue and that proper estimate was hampered by the earth's own moon. So after the moon's hampering influence had ended the observations could continue and a more accurate estimation of the asteroids trajectory accomplished.

Articles with such misleading titles should be shunned and the article's Author ostracized by that Author's Journalist Peers. Google should be desisting that Author's content until a proper title change is completed and proper apology issued.
