Switchmode power supplies already tend to rectify and filter the high voltage AC before stepping it down. At high frequency, the transformer can be a lot smaller.
If you have common changes like adding a new queue or storage bucket, you can pull the details out into yaml or json and have Terraform loop over them. As a (potentially) added bonus, you can have different Terraform projects point to the same yaml--used to do this for maintaining subnets
In theory, once could use Arraymancer to build the tools to do this, and not have to ship a Python interpreter. That said, I've not used it in anger.

Not my experience at all. It leads to joy and happiness when things go better than I expected. Also, I never stop working on improving things. There is always a chance that things are actually better than I expect.
All you have to do is open a separate Apple ID and open a business account with your local Apple store. They will happily bill you in alternate ways. As a one man band, you have no use for MDM. Apple Business Essentials simply has no value for a one-person company. I don’t blame Apple for adding a level of fraud protection to something like this and for not solving the problem for a one person business. Good non-use of engineering money.
and even moderated instances still have huge issues with it. There was one called "Sinblr" that had a user from another domain (in Japan, I think) overwhelmed it to the point that the hobbyist mods couldn't keep up with actual illegal porn content (underage material.)

Seems law enforcement caught wind of it, and Sinblr has ceased to exist, along with any user accounts on it.
Although mostly horrified / entertained watching a flat-earther documentary a while back with my teenage son .. I was also kind of impressed at one point when the flat earthers did a measurement with a laser over some kilometers to 'prove' the flatness of their landscape.

Needless to say the experimental results differed slightly from their theory. But what struck me is, they were actually doing science .. which is wonderful. I remembered thinking if only our local schools would do a little bit of science, or math for that matter..
Scala for a game engine seems like an odd choice. What was the initial decision to choose it?

Last year I got an HP M255dw and it really just works (tm) with all our devices (some iOS and a couple of Ubuntu boxes). This is all over wireless - I have never used a usb cable with this printer. OS-included drivers worked fine, no need to waste hours hunting for drivers on the internet.

I just got an Epson Eco Tank thing, and I freakin love it. Works great with CUPS (no scanning, but I don’t care about that) and it’s cheaper per page than any laser; full color!
Turing Up the Code
Looking for atypical takes on the turing tape.

Not necessarily an esoteric programming language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_programming_language )
on it's own,

but getting creative with turing methods to impliment an esoteric/non-esoteric programming language and/or use of turning turing tape to acheive "creative" programming.

Starter examples:

1) Excel turing machine https://www.felienne.com/archives/2974
&& https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/lambda-the-ultimatae-excel-worksheet-function/

Could impliment native js under hidden excel sheets. Program runs, than beat the excel point spread!

2)
https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/2d-an-exploration-of-drawing-as-programming-language-featuring-ideas-from-lambda-calculus/overview/

is an in-progress concept, that hopefully will be ported to pi-calculus. Pi-calculus would permit concurrent programming.

Result-> turing songs & turing raster video from 'interpreting' a program(s).

What is the annual maintenance cost on a Mercedes?
I think 24vdc is pretty much ideal. It's low enough not to be dangerous (48 volts is right at the threshold of danger) while it could supply enough power via the 12 or 14 gauge copper that's already in most US homes to handle all lighting needs plus probably a decent fraction of other loads.

When you decrease the voltage to 12 you start having to think about fatter wire--especially in larger homes--and that retrofit would be expensive.
I don't know how many small companies are using Jamf, but they may lose some of that business. I doubt Apple is going to make Essentials powerful enough for medium-large companies though, so Jamf is likely ok for a while.

Anecdotal, but I recently picked Jamf over Essentials for a ~30 person company because Essentials was just too limited. I really, really wanted it to work. Not having another company involved felt so nice. But I just couldn't do most of what I needed.

They have been adding features, but it's still way, way short of what Jamf can do. Particularly around enrollment options, although it seems they've finally added the ability to do user-based enrollment without wiping the machine?
The fact remains that they were not working while the tornados struck, yet you claim that they were being "worked to death". Sounds like a preconceived grudge to me.
I entirely agree with you! And all of these are things covered in the post.
Yeah. It's a bit strange because Mercedes is known for making expensive cars, and they're nowhere near being a leader in the EV field, the amount of EVs that they make is tiny.
Hey, I have a Niro. I paid less than $20k for a year old model. The Niro is a hybrid, not an electric (unless the new models are). I’m loving mine and I average 48 MPG unless I’m on a long freeway road trip, where it drops to around 30. Finally, I got a crazy 70 MPG in Yellowstone where you do tons of miles at 40 MPH (seems to be a sweet spot).

I bought a Brother HL-L2320D which at the time was the cheapest mono laser with duplexing I could find. On Windows and macOS it's fantastically uneventful, unfortunately on Linux the situation is less great. brlaser [0] does mostly work, but it seems there is a bug as some more complex documents (typically scans) won't print [1]. I ended up patching my version to reduce the size of one of the buffers [2], and haven't seen it fail since, but I doubt I've actually fixed the issue and instead just moved the threshold.

That's all well and good, but the interesting topic here is whether or not OpenAI is real intelligence, for a meaningful definition of "intelligent".

We already know that AI can solve problems without displaying anything like human reasoning, so good news for you!
I'm still so sad about our new "gigabit" NBN stuff...

1000Mbps downlink.

50Mbps uplink.

Just horrible. For $130 AUD a month, no less. Sigh.
One begets the other is my implied argument, if the standard wouldn't be this wide and allow for so much missing functionality, devices being this cheap and shitty would stick out more. Overall prices would be higher, but the quality per device would increase, even if just for economy of scale reasons.

How many bad USB 2 Hubs did you have to deal with?
Meanwhile, so many USB-C hubs don't actually have any USB-C ports despite the writing on the wall and it only being a matter of time.

The review mentions having to pull down the exit tray, so that's part of the footprint, if you just want it as an always-accessible network appliance on a table (rather than something portable, or hidden in a drawer or on a shelf for rare use).

If you want an HP LaserJet, there are a bunch of used ones that might keep running for decades of home use, so long as you buy them a cartridge every few years.

I currently run an M401n, with a little print server in front of it, and with the non-HPLIP "HP LaserJet Series PCL 6 CUPS" driver. (The print server is because I don't trust the firmware with network access.) It's not as imposing as my LaserJet 5N, but it works fine, so long as I use the PCL driver.

> highest we can get away with

Assuming this means highest voltage that's still mostly safe and does not require a whole bunch of insulation, we might be looking at something from 80 to 100 VDC? No idea where I read it from but apparently it takes about that much DC voltage for people to "feel something" when touching conductors with dry skin.
> It's just more nuanced than "I don't want to watch shows with ads".

Nevertheless valid I think. In subscribing to Netflix (or continuing to do so in my case) the absence of ads has to be one of the considerations.
This is how it normally looks:

Modern hardware interacts with software ("drivers") by ringbuffers & data areas.

To support this use case, the hardware generally provides multiple "logical devices". For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-root_input/output_virtu.... They're defined so that handing an untrusted party control of a logical device limits what they can do, e.g. what VLANs or other network overlays they can interact with. Each one gets its own ringbuffers etc.

Another use case for the same hardware idea is virtual machines. Here, you can think of a userspace process as a virtual machine, minus all the overheads and pretense of being a whole computer.

A userspace process is given access to the memory areas containing ringbuffers & data areas for a logical NIC. A library acts as a driver, and controls the NIC. All interaction is just reads & writes to memory, after setup the kernel is not involved at all.
The port arrangement on the front/back of that looks identical to the Kensington and Sonnet docks mentioned upthread, so I'd suspect that Razer are another vendor of a skinned reference design. (Though they're on the cheaper end of the spectrum so far, unless someone turns up the Aliexpress version.)

Posts like this are really helpful, a lot of Americans are disconnected from members of the military, especially in the upper classes where people do not need to serve, or in fields (like tech) where people can often find less intrusive ways to pay for college.

8% of the US population are veterans. 34% of the US population have a bachelors degree. That suggests to me that quite a low proportion of people use the military as a route to education.
Energy cost per mile for similar kind of cars can make it 5-7x cheaper to operate an EV. Electric is 9c/kWh and I get 3.5mi/kWh so 2.6c/mi. Gas is nearly $4/gal and loads of crossovers get like 25mpg so that's 16c/mi. That's a hair over 6x the energy cost per mile. Even if it's 30mpg that's still 5x the energy cost. That translates to ~$10,000 increased energy costs over 100,000mi
> I notice plenty of people plugging the super expensive OWC and CalDigit Thunderbolt docks. These are also pretty junky, they just have big price tags.

Having used actually-junky docks, a good one is worth the money. My TS3+ is in year 3 of consistent, rock-solid performance. Most of its ports are used all the time, the host computer never sleeps (I've used it with both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs), and I've never had an issue that I couldn't attribute to a bad cable.

> I'd say the first and only rule is that there aren't any rules that everyone must follow. There will be subpockets with different subcultures, with each one building and enforcing their own set of rules, but no single centralized style of enforcement.

That sounds like a free market. A government provides a minimal container and you’re free to create your own sub-pocket with your own rules inside of that structure. If you don’t like the rules of sub-pocket A (ex. Twitter), you can go create sub-pocket B (Truth Social). And they have no centralized style of rule enforcement because they are their own unique private enterprises.

Maybe the problem isn’t Twitter. Maybe the problem is expecting Twitter to act like an unbiased government when they’re not. They’re a for-profit sub-pocket with their own subculture. Just like Reddit, YT, FB, TikTok, etc. They’re all competing for eyeballs and ad dollars while independently enforcing their own rules.
I almost mentioned that, so it's funny you did. Lol. I noticed when I saw it in the theater that the formula for the variance was written wrong. If I recall correctly, it was zero because it was subtracting the same term twice since either both squares were either inside or outside the brackets instead of the proper formula. I never went back to take a look at the rest of the board. Upon rewatches, my eyes always go back to that same spot.

A question not without merit.

I use four browsers regularly. Brave is exceptionally good at bypassing {...walls} at the New York Times, the Economist and so on.

But then there is Safari with a rather painless and fast VPN, for free. And of course Chrome for work. And Firefox for whatever.

So "switch" seems like a heavy-handed and perfunctory approach that limits choice, when really one simply needs the right tool for the job.
All of the above for the three names I mentioned.

I love that you were able to get such a deal on a year-old EV!

What's super-confusing (but possible good for EV adoption long-term) is that Kia has Niro models in both (plug-in?) hybrid and pure EV. It appears the Niro is Kia's platform for playing with electrification before putting more serious brand equity at stake by e.g. releasing a Sportage EV.
> the media has zero credibility when it comes to reporting on anything Trump related.

That, my friend, is the absolute truth.

The media has always boosted him, never held Trump's feet to the fire about his lies, and never contextualized him. They reported his lies as credible, and it took them 4 years to be able to say "baseless". They gave him much wider latitude on what they'd report than they give to any other figure. Some of the reporters (Maggie Haberman comes to mind) had distinct conflicts of interest when it came to Trump, and yet the NYT let her report on him his entire term.

The media has zero credibility when it comes to reporting anything Trump related.
The Castle is honestly required viewing if you're Australian. Amazing movie
Never heard of that. I don't see facebook not pulling out of a market requiring it to share posts and such, especially in private groups and whatnot. Seems like users won't like their posts going wider than facebook either.
That's very different to the quote which claimed no supported visible presence.
I mean yeah, that's certainly a bad fact, but my whole point is that facts can be cherry picked. I would guess that there are other facts out there which would support the opinion that it is a success - for example, the other commenter said 1.4 million people were on the waitlist, which certainly indicates some marketing success in attracting millions of users.

This is my issue with the media is that they selectively report facts in order to push their agendas. This is why it seems like Fox and MSNBC are in alternate realities. Obviously, they're not just blatantly making shit up (although some outlets certainly do).
k8s has its own built in IaC with object definitions (usually yaml or some sort of yaml templates) and controllers to apply the changes. I don't think most people are managing k8s objects directly with edit/patch--they're just applying complete yaml/object definitions to override current state.

If you want drift/auto apply you can use a CD solution like Argo
Yep, and none of these use open protocols like Matrix, XMPP, or ActivityPub. Makes you wonder if these technologies will always just remain popular with niche communities.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I do think it's possible that an open protocol like ActivityPub can take off with the masses. I think the real issue is that apps like Mastodon offer an experience that is mostly just a copycat of Twitter, so there is no real killer reason for existing Twitter users to hop on over. Same goes for Pixelfed, Pleroma, Element, etc.
>and due to powertrain longevity, they’ll be in much better shape versus a combustion counterpart at similar mileage

I keep hearing people say this and have never seen any proof. How do you know batteries wear out slower than engines?
I've been through all this as well.

I gave up and spent a couple hundred dollars on an ALogic dual-thunderbolt connection dock. Two wires, not one, but perfect for my MacBook. It's been flawless, even after a year (most of the cheap docks I used died after 6 months).

From what others I've spoken to, and myself have worked out, the only "solution" is to spend hundreds of dollars on the high end ones. They seem to be far more reliable (and have better support if something does go wrong).

CalDigit is what most have moved to. My ALogic one is still kicking, so I'll stick with it for now.
The airport also has been around since 1955 (according to Wikipedia). So anyone who lives there today definitely knew what they were getting into.

If any of those is a No, then confrontation will likely not be helpful.
Note: This may not matter for everybody, but Soapbox is built and maintained by far-right trolls who were ostracized from the rest of the network for their hatred of trans people and "the transgender ideology" (their words). Additionally, even within the Pleroma project (which evolved out of *chan culture and often acts as a refuge for those shunned by other parts of the fediverse), Alex has alienated all of the other major maintainers, and pissed them off enough that he eventually ended up banned from the project entirely (if I remember correctly): https://hacktivis.me/articles/Update%20on%20Pleroma%20Mainta....

(Note: I have some small involvement with the maintenance of Mastodon, mostly in an advisory role these days, and I'm speaking up because I've witnessed the effects of Gleason's behavior first hand. Think carefully before you throw your lot in with him and his, he has a long history of burning his bridges)
It was Fred Brooks, not Confucius who said that, but I think you got the date right.
Jamf is onerous to use. Are they still requiring two days of training with a purchase? Last time I tried to purchase the product, they would not let me skip two days of training. As a fast growing <10-engineer startup at the the time, I had negative time to spare — spending two working days in training for a glorified CPanel-like mishmash of obtuse software was a non-starter.

We ended up going with a small MDM vendor, which was just barely passable enough to compliantly manage a fleet of Macs with somewhat minimal time investment. Still, it came with fully employee spy mode turned on (website monitoring on by default) and had promised features, such as FDE key escrow, that barely ever worked in practice.

So thank god for Apple Business Essentials, this is a blessing for every startup that runs a fleet of Macs.
Sounds good. Thanks for pointing out the issue with some firewalls
> regardless of the very un-nice, unkind responses you get

You may have skipped the article. The tone of responses is not what anyone is talking about. Acting despite the tone of responses is not the topic
I went the Intel NUC8 way a couple of months ago after wanting larger 4k displays and faster drives. Pretty good value for money. I dont game etc, so I just needed the basics.
Somewhat unsurprising - more interestingly, was it individual words or combinations of phrases that caught the filter? Also amusing that somewhat simple ciphers still easily defeat the Great Firewall (would ROT13 have also worked?)
Bloch's theorem I'd assume.
I went through 2 CalDigit TS3 docks previously, and returned both of them. They had a good number of ports and seemed reliable for the few weeks I had them. But both of them had audibly noisy capacitors, resulting in a tinnitus-like 16KHz tone that would get louder when moving the mouse or when connecting an external monitor to the dock.
It seems like chronic problems with laptops are often the fault of Nvidia or AMD discrete video cards. Even for Macs. Once I started avoiding non-integrated graphics in laptops, things got a lot smoother.
Today it works kind of similar to e-mail (except there's some notion in servers for migration), so yes, you'd generally get a new public identifier as you move servers. So server admins do have a lot of practical authority in that sense.

It's a tricky one to solve properly (see Zooko's Triangle). The only solutions I've seen so far rely on distributed ledgers, to which there is cultural resistance.

We do need to arrive at a DiD solution, though. Matrix needs to solve the same issue, so ideally we'll find something that works in general. Perhaps the W3C proposal is viable.

Devs and admins in the ecosystem realize this and other ways that the current state of ActivityPub is not ideal. If you're interested in following discussions on how to improve and evolve the Fediverse protocols and ecosystem, some people are congregating here (and yeah, we should dogfood better).
