Yeah I expect that my MacBook, Mac Mini, IPad and IPhone are all connected. I can open up browser tabs from one device to the other, take phone calls or send texts, not have to worry about sharing passwords etc.

I expect, want in fact, none of these things on my Windows PC. I do not trust Microsoft with my data, and this was before the last year of them being owned. It may not be right or even logical, but I imagine a ton of other users fit this same archetype. To me windows is the spyware ridden OS I use to pay a handful of games, and it basically always will be.
It's likely too big for those programs - I am (just now) starting a build with the Open Lane/Sky tools not with the intent of actually taping out but more to squeeze the architectural timing (above the slow FPGA I've been using for bringing up Linux) so I can find the places where I'm being stupidly unreasonable about timing (working on my own I can't afford a Synopsys license)
That's fine. It's really not that important what a designer of CSS thinks about how any part of CSS is being used. A guitar player does not confer with the guitar builder about how to play the guitar.

A cursory search for sectionals (something I'm currently in the market for) had appliancesconnection.com as the consistently cheapest place to buy from. So what's the catch with them, why are they so cheap? I buy from Wayfair and other "trusted sites" because they have a rapport, brand, and good return policy.

I think your site should offer more features like a way to validate the sellers or compare them somehow. Read the fine print/do the due diligence for me. Also, are you sure they're selling the exact same furniture and not something that has dings/was previously rejected and sold to these budget companies like TJ Maxx etc do?
Ooh, okay. I gotcha. Thanks for clarifying!

Not a webdev by profession, but hand-coded a few hobby sites - !important is used as a duct-tape "just do the dang thing" hack if you need to overrule a bunch of the current styling rules and don't want to think too hard about it.
Enmax is a municipally owned corporation which means that this discussion is bigger than what you're talking about.

Is the issue of consistent and proper enforcement a "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes" issue, or a lack of resources to police / monitor / enforce issue right now? IIUC, enforcement must be "proportionate," but that's a pretty anxiety-inducing word in a law unless there's either solid precedent to establish what that word means or an oversight board.

And if the issue is that they're under-funded, I agree with increasing resources to proportionate to the need to properly enforce the law. Coupled with proper proportionate penalties (including warnings for good-faith efforts to compliance, making the law a bit more like online speeding tickets than the 20-million-euro minimum penalty suggests it should be), it may be able to adjust behavior.

On the other hand, I'd expect the resulting behavior adjustment magnitude to be in the realm of speeding tickets (with the occasional reckless-driving for, say, a FAANG mass-harvesting data). Maybe that's good enough for the goals though.
But, sometimes, a lot of times... It's just "the way we do things here". Some companies really are insulated from outside inovation.

This is why, as someone who loves writing CSS and thinks they're reasonably good at it, I've come to the conclusion that writing CSS is an anti pattern, and if you want teams to quickly build interfaces with a maintainable "frontend styling layer", it should prevent the ability to write css.
Well, you have to put it in context, home users at the time could have:

1) free (in the sense of included in the price or their new PC) a somewhat unstable OS with lower requisites (particularly about RAM) where most software somehow ran (including games)

or:

2) a more stable, paid (costing if I recall correctly more than the equivalent of 2-300 US$ of today) OS needing double the RAM (think of 128 vs. 64 MB), definitely slower, where they could not run many games

for some reasons many chose #1, and BSOD's (on the 9x/Me) were so common that it was perceived by many (that had not any occasion to experience the stability of NT and of 2000) as a "normal state of things".
Sometimes a tool has been invented to do X but people end up using it for Y because it’s so useful. I think "!important" is a good example. Like duct tape being used for much more than attaching ducts.
I don’t see many people enjoying a baseline model with 200ish mile ranges. I did manual labor for a construction company as a way to make money back in high school, and it was normal for site leads to be commuting a minimum of 150 miles per day. This truck is marketed as also being a generator which would mean people will be using for work during the day.

I agree that they need to do better if they want this to not flop.
They had that. Gender aside, Gorbachev did just that. And then the thieves moved in.

Starting material is a huge problem. You need at least 50ng of DNA for an Illumina sequencing run, usually more if you want to sequence ultra deep, which you will need for whole genome sequencing. For PCR you need at least 0.1ng (usually higher) of DNA. But a single cell has about 80 pg of DNA. So you need to amplify the DNA several orders of magnitude before you can apply standard PCR. Several approaches can solve this problem, DOP-PCR, MDA, MALBAC. But each results in biased amplification, with differing biases with each method.

Honestly, I haven't found a single 'this is DevOps' training course. But here are some pretty decent YouTube videos I just found:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me3ea4nUt0U&list=PLEiEAq2VkU... <-- Good intro to DevOps concepts, and points out some popular tools
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0tnG231VEc&list=PLEiEAq2VkU... <-- Deeper dive into DevOps tooling

From there you can dive into info about particular tools. Tooling discussions usually talk about other tools that can fit the same role. For example, if you're learning about Ansible, you'll probably hear about Puppet and Chef. That will give you other paths to travel down and learn more about the space.

Although if you already have a stack in mind, it'll help your studies be more focused.
Inventory is a big one too. We're working on a way to show you who has what in stock and how many are available. By location would be amazing! What were you buying?
It depends on the direction Windows itself wants to go in really. This isn’t the early 2000s where Windows was the used OS everywhere and was some hyperpower among software. Most apps are cross platform and there is a healthy ecosystem of OSs. Microsoft can let itself be the gaming and office PC, it can attempt to remain being the jack of all trades and master of none, or it could plot its own new course. I think either way they’ll have plenty of costumers.
Can someone share the tweet here?

Thanks for explaining. I was thinking along the lines of "report card", as in that document that lists your school grades for a period of time such as a semester.
In C++ you can use user defined literals to make the units stuff compile time checked, similar to this https://github.com/bernedom/SI for example.
We already have this system.

> foobar.com wants to access your location. [Block] [Allow]

> foobar.com wants to access your camera and microphone. [Block] [Allow]

> foobar.com wants to send push notifications. [Block] [Allow]

Ideally these prompts are presented above the line of death, and clicking “Block” prevents future prompts, so you can’t get spammed.

Of course users click on these prompts without caring. Of course websites may try to unnecessarily block access if you dont agree. Of course websites make their own obviously fake prompts so you click “block” and then they present the obviously fake prompt again just to waste your time.

But users already download and open random files and grant them admin privileges, and websites already spam you. The current notification system works and extending it to WebGPU and file systems is natural.
Bragging about "designing CSS" is a bit like bragging you captained the Titanic. I mean, I guess it's impressive, sure, but it's also pretty embarrassing. I've used `!important` many times, as I'm sure many folks did, because CSS just absolutely sucks and it's a huge pain the butt to get it to do what you want. Using `!important` is the equivalent of throwing your hands up in the air and saying "screw it, I wanted to go home 3 hours ago, I'm done."

On a side note, CSS3 being accidentally Turing complete is probably one of the funniest (read: dumbest) things out there.
1970 roughly corresponds with when mass birth control was readily available, somewhat socially accepted, and fairly reliable to the entire populace ( in US). If you're not going to reproduce but just want sex, it doesn't make sense to focus on traits associated with long term survival of the family. Physical attractiveness becomes relatively more valuable. It's a completely rational choice, and human adaptation to changing sexual landscape.
Wow that was fast. Can you speculate who is responsible for this? Internal compliance teams or were they served a “takedown notice” of some kind?

If you want to get familiar with DevOps basics in a cloud environment I would start with the Cloud Resume Challenge (https://cloudresumechallenge.dev/). It provides a good way to get started on building things with IaC and using pipelines to do so.

It also provides practical, real-world experience that none of AWS' certs offer.
I don't see how that's the choice. You are not going to freeze to death if you turn off your heat for an hour or two to cook.
It’s almost certainly gas heat, but you need electricity to run the blower. If they’re not providing enough power for that, there’s no point in even bothering to limit.
> This whole thing doesn’t really add up.

If the originally purported intent had carried through to the specifications, it adds up in a sense. If !important overrides indicated an explicitly set formatting/sizing for compliance/legal reasons, implementers touching it without any historical context would know at a glance what it signified and that it shouldn't be touched lightly without explicit approval. And when the implementer updates the stylesheets to use 24px text on a page based on direction from the CEO/designer and the element with an !important override stays at 26px, the implementer can point to the !important override as the cause and confirm if the person requesting the change has confirmed legal/compliance approval to change that one as well. Even if the parties involved in the change (the designer, CEO, or implementer) aren't familiar with the compliance reason for the override's origins, the fact that it's there is a known flag that changes can lead to potential violations and costs/fines and need to be properly vetted for approval.

It would also make it easier to go in and update the stylesheets to comply with changes in compliance/legal requirements, as you can easily search through the styles for !important flags and find all the spots that need reviewed for potential change needs.

That said, its use in practice is completely different than this purported rationale for the flag's existence, and !important is sprinkled so cavalierly in existing codebases to crudely but effectively get a desired effect that the above situation is impossible at this point and the original rationale is moot.

Which could then be added to tap water, soft drinks, added as a fortifying agent in flour and bread.

I just recently read This is How They Tell Me the World Ends by Nicole Perlroth which was an extremely interesting and concerning book, explaining the escalating capabilities of chained zero-day exploits to create devastating cyber attacks on critical infrastructure.

According to the book, Russia is already inside many American water treatment plants, dams, and electrical grids. This is a concerning and increasingly plausible response to the economic sanctions imposed on them by the west.
having an id on the top <html> tag and mentioning it in css rules seemed very effective to me- especially when the tag was the name of the page, which is what i wanted to override by anyway
I hope that, just like companies are required to pay for their externality damages like Superfund sites, ICE companies should be required to subsidize EV adoption themselves to help pay for the reduction of Superfunding our air they contributed to. It's 2022, these standard vehicle specs are $55k, far above the average consumer's ability to fit into a reasonable budget, and 60,000 people a year are dying to particulate pollution in the US from the ICE's that Ford still sells.

Wtf? LOTR is deeply authoritarian. Sam is constantly praised for his subservience to his master. Rulers are only proper rulers if they come from the correct bloodline - the bloodline of other rulers before them.

I love Tolkien for basically inventing the fantasy genre. But please don't try to paint him as some kind of admirable political thinker.
>Satellite Internet is already a multi-billion dollar industry before you have inexpensive and low latency service provided by launch vehicles (and satellites) a tenth to a hundredth the cost.

It is currently a money pit. It is a simple fact that right now it requires huge expenses in launches, R&D, and subsidized terminals and makes practically no revenue. SpaceX has itself stated in internal communications that their current satellites and current launch systems are not viable.

I don't believe it ever will make any money—cellular networks do the same job better—but it definitely won't make any money in the next few years.

>But sure, buy into Musk pretending it’s desperate to try to motivate his workforce.

So it is your opinion that he was lying to his employees to coerce them into working overtime over the holidays out of fear of losing their jobs? I fail to see how that's an improvement. Either the situation is legitimately desperate or the work environment is abusive.
Yeah had to close private reley because websites didn’t load.
I've never worked on large open source projects (except maybe as part of my job), but every new company I join inevitably has some large codebase I have to familiarize myself with. In my experience.

- It just takes a long time: I find I'll spend a good 1.5-2 years at a company before I can finally say with confidence I have a decent grasp on the entire codebase;

- I try to focus on making small changes/bugfixes to specific components. Do that enough and you start to see how things fit together;

- Running the code with lots of logging sometimes helps;

- Finding some sort of high-level architecture diagram or documentation works wonders. Usually in the industry there's one dude(ine) who's been there for a while to set you on the right path, not sure about FLOSS...
Ask HN: What are some promising side/solo business ideas?
Hi guys,

i am currently trying to generate ideas for a side business. However, I am having a hard time doing so. Since they say 'ideas are cheap, execution is everything' I would like to try my luck here for myself and other people who feel the same way.

Maybe you have some ideas/problems you don't want to tackle but want to see a solution for?
Great! Maybe you'd like to share it with us :)

Thanks :)
kkndve English speaker checking in, I did not know that the phrase "sour grapes" comes from Aesop.

Honestly I only vaguely recall reading a few stories from Aesop when I was in second grade or something. Maybe a story about a wolf and another animal and a river? None of it really stuck.
OK, reading more carefully, I see that the actual minimum via diameter on that board process is too big. It is sort of understandable if they need room for the interior plating. That is very tiny!
My question is, what are the distinguishing properties of unit tests vs. integration tests that motivate treating them differently, and in what ways do they have to be treated differently? In broader terms, why does that distinction exist and how is it relevant?
Our laws need to be reviewed for this. I think the whole idea of adding fluoride to drinking water to improve dental health is a good and older example of this. If I will receive any form of therapeutic I should have to give my consent. We are starting to have stronger laws for personal data than for our bodily autonomy it seems.
I don't read the tweet as bragging
> You're unlikely to have any legal issues based on somebody shrinking your text using one. This may not have been obvious in the meetings in which CSS was being designed: it's plausible that I might think user stylesheets would be all over the place and have unpredictable effects.

Someone predicting "stylesheets all over the place" would have been exactly right, though - practically every single news page on the Internet has questionably-sourced ads, Facebook like buttons, Twitter embeds, and chat/discussion/engagement widgets, all of which have custom stylesheets. The only saving graces come from frequent use of iframes for isolated embeds (which will become less common now with cookie restrictions!), stylesheets well-engineered by well-funded corporations to have every rule prefixed by a custom and dedicated class name for compatibility, and preprocessors and CSS-in-JS that would make that latter approach viable.

Now imagine a world where you're a site operator, !important doesn't exist, and you cannot trust that a site component provider will not install a global CSS rule that will break your legal or branding requirements, with no real way for you to work around it if they do, without unmaintainable specificity boosters for your own components. You simply won't use that site component provider unless it's well-vetted. Which means that there's significantly less innovation on the Internet, because "nobody ever got fired for embedding IBM CSS" becomes an actual thing to think about. !important becomes the escape hatch that the web needs.
> It's terrifying how much critical functionality at an average company exists only in 1-3 brains.

It's not actually terrifying. It's the way that businesses have worked for centuries. There's always a "high priest[ess]" in the woodpile, somewhere, that has "The Keys to the Kingdom."

Most businesses have some form of continuity or recovery plan, but many would collapse, without the Key Player, and they do.

The flip side, is that with the Key Player, they can do very well, indeed.

It's just that Silicon Valley has developed a dread of "The Bus Factor," so we do things like deliberately design shoddy project plans, so that inexperienced, disloyal, transient, teams can run them.

I have looked at codebases that were designed to be implemented by a team, when it should have been a simple, 1-person job. It made the code brittle, overcomplicated, underperformant, and buggy as a rotten log.
A fellow Sony user, I see.

I didn't imply we should kill anyone. If that's your read into it, that's on you.

What I mean to highlight about what's stated above is that it's always someone else who shouldn't have children, or someone else who shouldn't exist so that you† and yours† have it better going forward.

You must understand how that is fundamentally problematic.

Kind of akin to "you should not drink water, so that I may not run short in the future".

It's especially ironic to me that these kinds of opinions tend to come from the wealthiest, most materially-excessive societies on the planet. God forbid we just gear down together.

Did it use the Intel 1405 shift register chip, like the Datapoint 2200, or a different chip? I can't read the part numbers in the briefcase photo, and if the text names the shift register used, I missed it.

With regard to serial memories, you mentioned the EDSAC and the IBM 2260, but maybe it's worth expanding on how common serial memories were; I don't know if you think it's worth mentioning in this context, but delay-line analog memory was in use in PAL TVs and VCRs up to at least the 01980s and I think the 01990s, often made from piezoelectrics and fused quartz, and 01960s digital calculators like the Olivetti Programma 101 used magnetostrictive wire-torsion digital delay lines for their memory https://www.nzeldes.com/HOC/DelayLine.htm, which is possibly something I originally learned from your own blog. Turing's Pilot ACE and the UNIVAC I used mercury delay lines http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/vs-univac-mercury-memory.html, and the LGP-30 used a magnetic drum as a sort of magnetoelectromechanical delay line for its 31-bit "architectural" registers. Also, coaxial and lumped-element analog delay lines (similar to Pupinized telephone lines) enabled analog oscilloscopes to plot signals from before the trigger fired rather than only afterwards.

More generally we could get into bubble memory, CCDs, SPI interfaces to RAM, hard disk tracks, etc., as some of the other commenters have mentioned.
