If anybody is currently doing anything on the Scheme/Clojure side of things
around databases, or PL. I'd be interested.

These are longer term goals I have, my shorter term goals are focused on a lot of reading to prepare to start to tackle those things in the future.

Mostly I'd like to build toy projects of stuff we use every day, but from a good starting place, "the right way", not something hacked together over a weekend, but to learn the details that went into them.

Not interested in building another project with another library, but more so writing libraries.
Until someone pulls out their mobile and shows off the raspberypi webpage which explains the device and then the blog page explaining how to save old laptops from landfill with a raspberrypi.

However if TSA, or whatever the over exuberant baggage detectives are called, accept the above as an explanation, does one think it might then be possible to create fake webpages which could be shown on a mobile phone that actually disguises the use of a bomb, in effect being duped by fake websites, or does the TSA have a procedure where they have to use their own devices to verify webpages like blogs explaining such a device?

Interesting thought.
Oomph-lib: finite-element library for the simulation of multi-physics problems
Beautiful treatise of the wretched joys of owning and driving an old car. What I love is how all of these foibles become second nature to the ownership. This is what car people call “character”, much the same way you might realize you need to warn one friend before you introduce them to another.

Though it’s usually my goal to chase all manner of unreliability out of a car I own (I confess, I absolutely love just getting in a car and driving, no fuss, no muss), there is a pang of sadness that comes with knowing I’ve made it that much more reliable, and frankly, boring.
I wish there was a universal 'colorscheme' standard that every text editor (Vim/Emacs/VSCode/Jetbrains/otherIDEs) all plugged into. And you could 'load/save' your settings across different apps etc... each one saving into the same _standardized_ file format. Then a site like this would work with me just 'ctrl-c'/ ctrl-v'ing the colorscheme into _any_ text editor (heck any program) target.

Stripe’s journey from checklist to incident response tool
I don't think the parent referenced Republicans or Democrats at all. The parent was talking about "conservatives". And anyone who opposed same-sex marriage in 2004 -- Obama included -- should absolutely be counted as having (at least some) socially-conservative views.

Obviously many people changed their minds since then. It is perhaps notable, though, to consider that most of the people who changed their minds since then identify as Democrat, while many more Republicans continue to hold such backward, discriminatory views.
I see what you mean now.

I think most persistent data structures would (for most common operations) return exactly themselves in case when no modification happened. So you can very cheaply compare for equality, and that would either resolve to simple one-op comparison of references (to see if they are equal or not), or, in the worst case, comparison of some minor amount of diverging sub-elements (since persistent data structures do extensive structural sharing by definition).

In this sense, linked list is a “bad” persistent collection for your use case, but a persistent set instead would work wonderfully — if nothing changed, you’d get the same reference to a collection as input.

I am pretty sure it either would work this way, or is very easy to optimize for this use case, in Clojure.
My 83 VW T3 was attempted to be stolen once. But, like the author, my bus leaks some power. So I too installed a switch that just disconnects the battery.

It isn't hidden or super secret. Just adds extra work and time for someone probably being stressed out already.

A friends' T3 was left in the middle of the road, because her gearbox was broken-ish and finding the reverse a learned skill. Halfway through turning her bus, thieves just gave up. She found her car perpendicular to the road in the morning.
Employers have a legal obligation to negotiate in good faith with unions which are the exclusive representatives of an entire bargaining unit. They have no such obligation to members-only unions. This is what the "right to collectively bargain" refers to in the context of US labor law. If you don't like the terminology, you can try to take it up with the NLRB, but it doesn't change the facts on the ground.
What does it mean in British English?
I think you should discuss pro/cons wrt/ other (more established) formats like todo.txt that provide a wide variety of tools.

>Nobody is asking developers to build only "luxury condos". Where did you get that from?

He did not say that though... He commented that many got built, but withouth any indication of why. You read it as him claiming that 'someone is asking them'. I read it as a reflection on the uneven distribution of wealth (which unions can help with).
I mean... yes?

Clearly you're trying to go for a "gotcha!" type comment, but... so what? People who believed same-sex marriage should be illegal are just as wrong as people who believed interracial marriage should be illegal during much of the last century. It doesn't matter if they called themselves Democrats or Republicans or whatever. It doesn't matter if they were part of some majority or minority. They were just as wrong regardless.

Some people -- Obama included -- changed their minds, for whatever reason. Many people, sadly, still have not. It might be interesting to look at what kind of person still hasn't seen the light on this, and what political party that kind of person is overwhelmingly more likely to identify with, but that still doesn't really matter much to the rightness or wrongness of a previous belief.
Rarely do I come across a comment that seems impossible to distinguish from not only my thoughts, but style and pattern as well.

That second paragraph is one of the most relatable things I’ve read on HN in a bit. Cheers :)

FB and Google are probably the two biggest AI companies in the world if you go by scale.

Who else has multiple products scaling to billions of users daily that are built around features that use AI?

They also work on AI research that only they can really work on due to their scale.

FB is planning on spending 20b this year alone on AI and AI related infrastructure.

Heh, was this you [1]? Pretty much asking the same good questions you brought up in a different post.

Additionally, I see that the Senior Director of Engineering, Tim Zallmann, has left a bunch of GitLab project repos about 14 hours ago as of this writing. He was one of the folks who tried pinging [3] Mr. Coutable (he's one of the reviewers that's currently OOO). The ping is likely regarding the discovery of the security vulnerability.

Bill Gates? This obviously depends on your opinion of Microsoft, but some of us still remember IE.
From my recent post: "The thing that could bring the most change to the world is a system that finds everybody a thousand or more best friends based on psychological proximity and compatibility. Don’t tell me it’s impossible to predict whether two people are likely to get along or not based on a bunch of factors that can be analyzed with various techniques including AI. What would the world look like if every single person had a bunch of people who get them because they are almost exactly like them or are highly compatible although different? Imagine having a huge support group that roots for each cause of yours because it’s also theirs. What could you all do together, pulling in the same direction, inspiring each other and contributing your best? I want all of the existing social networks to create a version of this. Create groups out of thin air. You have the data, so use it for something better than serving ads with efficient precision."

I've been developing ideas on how to match people, but I can't code.

I love consistency which is why dracula never disappoints. Dracula has schemes for literally every shell/tui/gui I care about (there is even a Dracula mode in Firefox "Dark Reader"). And it goes really well with happy colorful wallpapers (cyberpunk colors of the 80ies or rick + morty cartoons). The only thing I might consider replacing it with is Nord. But last time I checked Nord still wasn't covering all I want.
There's scope for a bigger screen - probably 10" or so. This display is above 30Hz but not quite 60 Hz. You won't get eSports competition quality but north of 60Hz is doable with today's technology.

I thought so, too. His presentation was overly theatrical. But on the other hand, he has been vindicated on most of the points he made against Fauci. Any reasonable person would consider what they were doing gain-of-function research. I don't think Fauci has any maniacal plans or backroom pharma deals going on, he's just a corrupt bureaucrat trying to cover his ass for a series of incompetent decisions.
Not yet - I'd like to put together a proper case for all the components first. In the process of designing the required parts and 3D printing them.
As the perfect complement to the parent comment, you're conveniently ignoring the qualifier "close to the city center". No part of the American dream has ever claimed the suburban paradise to be in the middle of Manhattan. It's a contradiction by definition.

To go on a bit of a tangent, this is what bugs me so much about the housing conversation. People take fragments of thoughts and stitch them together into belief systems that are trivially incoherent. I'd be happy to live and let live if these people didn't also vote....

Hi, do you have any idea how one goes about making a liquid mode for mobile pdf readers like the adobe pdf app? I am often commuting and have to read on my mobile but I am limited by the fact that adobe only allows 200 pages or less files to be rendered to liquid mode. I would be interested in helping develop this app ( I am not a programmer by profession but have been learning for a few years on my part time)

Don't you mean 'Darcula'?

Sure, there's a 'Dracula' theme for vim, but it's not really universal and consistent.
Yes, the only problem is the price.

Analog TV tuners were very cheap. Now it no longer makes sense to use an expensive analog capture board for a RNG.

There are much cheaper solutions.

For no more than $10, you can make a RNG using the ADC of either a microcontroller board with USB interface or of an audio USB dongle or of the microphone connector of the motherboard audio.
"It is assumed IANA operates flawlessly."

Genuine chuckle.
While the title is in Norwegian, more appropriate title: "Frances Haugen asks Government Pension Fund of Norway to sell out of Meta".

For context, the Government Pension Fund of Norway (commonly known as Oljefondet/The Oil Fund), owns ~1% of Meta.

That FB are removing anti-Facebook ads are not mentioned in the article, and hardly news either way. What got removed were promotions for the event at the Nobel Peace Center where Haugen was debating.

The next gen of the screen here should be substantially brighter than the reMarkable. The screen here is, as well, but I'd need brightness specs for the RM to quantify it. I've used both next to each other and the rM's brightness is definitely a disappointment.
Adding extra limbs as input devices is more useful than I'd expected, after taking the risk to buy some foot switches and other input controllers! I don't think the specific models or sellers matter that much; I'm just a happy customer.

It's my plan to hack the volume controllers into an Arduino's ADC input, and make them act as a USB keyboard for the computer's volume control. When I have some more time in the lab...

Feet:

• Product: AliExpress/Nimluxe Store/"2 In1 Wireless MIDI Controller Pedal USB Bluetooth MIDI Foot Controller Volume Expression Pedal 4 Buttons Footswitch"

Hardware: USB-C to USB-A cable, included. Apparently also Bluetooth.

Software: On Windows, arrow keys. On Mac, customisable shortcuts using /Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and BetterTouchTool.

Example use case: On Thursday 2022-03-31, I was filling out a form on paper. I'd already completed it in Excel. With my left hand I held the paper, with my right hand, I wrote with the pen. Instead of letting go of pen or paper, I used my foot to press the arrow key to scroll down. This made it easier and faster to verify my transcription.

Usage frequency: 1 time in 2-3 weeks. Might use it more with an analogue pedal.

Hands:

• Product: AliExpress/VINSHLE FACTORY STORE Store/"Audio Sound Mixer Headphone audio Amplifier Mobile Phone Audio Sound Mixer Pocket Mixer 3.5mm Interfaces with Power Adapte" (also known as K1000)

Hardware: 3.5mm audio jack input (x2) and output (x2). miniUSB for charging, internal battery.

Software: None needed.

Example use case: It's an op-amp. Excellent for listening for ground loops in an electronic circuit. Also useful to change music volume quickly.

Usage frequency: Daily at work for music, occasionally for electronics debugging.

• Product: AliExpress/Unisian Global Store/"UNISIAN Audio Volume Wired Controller Aux 3.5mm Signal Volume Control by Cable Adjustment For Speakers Amplifier System"

Hardware: 3.5mm in (x2), 3.5mm out (x2)

Software: None needed.

Example use case: volume control by turning the dial up. It's big enough (10 cm or so?) to feel like scratching a turntable. Very fun.

Usage frequency: Daily at work for music.

• Product: Monogram Creative Console

Hardware: USB-C, I2C, magnetic pogo pin connections

Software: on Mac, can interface with everything via AppleScript. There is a Windows app, but I haven't played with it as much.

Example use case: changing computer volume and brightness. Can be in music, photo editing, video apps, or customisable.

Usage frequency: The hardware looks so beautiful that colleagues keep borrowing it.

Overall conclusion:

If you want to travel and pack small, these are excessive luxuries. There is usually a software solution instead, but it's easy to lose focus.

If you have a stable desk, ergonomic hardware is a great investment in feeling comfortable and working more efficiently in limited time.
I totally get it. I really miss the heyday of the PDA and small handheld PCs (like the HP Jornadas).
We all know those autocross guys…
A permanently installed filtration system isn't as cost effective as a whole home filter, but it's still more cost effective than what's been designed here, and requires an order of magnitude fewer filter replacements. In fact, you probably wouldn't even need a plumber to install the system for you.
Portability and human readability in a normal text editor are huge plusses for me.

I mostly use paper notebooks, but when I need to keep track of todos over a long period of time for a specific thing, I like to have a text file located with that thing. With all of these cloud-based tools we now use, everything’s refactored to be organized based on tool, then project instead of project, then tool. I for one am starting to rethink this. Changing of tools or people, or simply passage of time inevitably loses information, or knowledge of where information was stored.

I could see myself using this format for simple tracking in a git repo where I don’t want to use GitHub or another similar tool. One use case would be getting things done in a JIRA/middle-management heavy organization.

Having the spec is then nice because anyone could use their preferred tool if they want to and one could easily check for open todos in a bunch of folders/repos.

I still cant believe how people with 6,7 digit salaries get convinced that more money is better than some amount of society responsibility. Dont they think that in 10 or 20 years down the line, many people (including them) will feel the pain of their actions.

There's no way this would be allowed in the TOS. People really confuse freedom of speech....
A wise man once told me "Six inches is six inches."
Crazy I'd say. E-ink is currently too slow to use in a laptop. And why a gpu in an e-ink machine? You can't show animations, screen drawing speed doesn't matter since the screen itself is so slow, etc. Libretto keyboard is too big to be pocketable, but too small for extended typing (I've used real Librettos). Batteries should be removable and standardized like the Framework laptop's are. If you want e-ink, try a tablet, maybe Inkplate 10. Perhaps connect it to computing base holding the battery pack, a raspberry pi or similar cpu card, connectors, and a keyboard.

I do think we need more choices in small keyboards with built in pointing devices. There don't seem to be that many right now, especially wired ones.

I meant dracula. why isn't it consistent from your experience? perhaps when comparing the schemes across editors or different terminals? (I only use one specific terminal and 1 editor so I don't see this)
I didn't like botw.. At all! Maybe I'm too old for "giant world survival crafting exploration" time of games. I don't know.

It felt all wrong and... Hacked together? Like they planned a different game and then put the zelda theme on top of it. Something like that..

> The Nobel Peace Center advertised the event precisely on social media, but the ad on Facebook was removed, without further explanation, as "political advertising". The center has been able to advertise other events on Facebook without any problems.

I guess this is the one line that prompted the header, on an article that is primarily about the ex-Facebook employee's petition for Norway to divest from Meta. Admittedly I'm more inclined to just think that once again the ML enforcement models that the company uses have thrown a false positive more than there being some shady desire to silence the event (or I guess a true positive given how vague the message is, who knows what rule it may have violated).
You underestimate the enthusiasts. I just recently bought a refurbished “distance system” computer (aka cruise control ecu) for my 89 325i. I have, on order, an original head unit with blue tooth retrofitted.

Electronics won’t be the Achilles heel of old cars. Gasoline will be. But make no mistake. Old electric vehicles with their max 10-year life span of battery banks won’t enjoy the life of a classic either.
Except when all the jobs in your industry are union jobs.

Unless you're suggesting someone in this position should have to retrain for a different industry. Which, sure, ok, I guess, but the cost to do so might be quite high to the point of being life-ruining.
On my phone, I had to scroll down a full screen height to get past the ads. I would not call that a win.
> Skyrim and AC are milestones in open-world design around 2010

Yet it bored me to death. So empty. Such a terrible rhythm.

I understand why people like it, I get the game qualities, but I prefer much more density in my games.

When I played the witcher 3, I enjoyed it. But soon, I got lost in side quests. I could not even remember the main quest anymore. And side quests took me so far away, going back would have been sometimes long rides of boat and riding.

GTA had a different problem: it was very repetitive. I didn't feel like moving from one part of the city to another, I was discovering another part of the world. Just a variation of what was already existing.

That's why BoTW was the first open world I deeply appreciated: there is always something to do, anywhere, something do discover and get excited about. And going off and on the main quest is quick, easy, seamless. You can do it over and over. Also, the game is not just beautiful, it's a piece of art.

I never stopped in order to admire my surrounding in skyrim or the witcher. Not that they cannot be nice looking: max res + mod can make them outstanding. But they don't touch you inside in the way a Nintendo game landscape can, Miyazaki style. They get you attached to character much better though, so there is that.

I believe Elden Ring went for that density, that artistic quality kind, that flexibility, in a sort, that lean aspect of open world exploration. Except you get your ass kicked and then the game spit on your grave.
So in this example, at least half the problem was definitely not high prices on the factory floor, it was bad salespeople, an obsession with extracting profit, corporate bureaucracy, inefficient work practices.

Given what you witnessed from the customer facing side, so you think there were no similar delays and inefficiencies in their manufacturing and acquisitions side, and no similar attempts at maximizing profits in their quote?

I'm not claiming they could have matched the Chinese price, but I am also not willing to blame either the full price nor the whole exchange on 15$/h factory floor staff.
