I agree short term that’ll be the case. For a long time, radio was viewed as a dying form of communication, until TV started censoring large sections of what people wanted to listen to. Then you had the rise of people like
Limbaugh, Jones, stern, etc

The reality is people seek the truth when they know they’re being lied to. Very few people in the west trust news

https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/20...

Part of the issue with Google, etc has to do with the “Trusted News Initiative”.

I definitely agree the trend will continue. However, once an innovation with then properties I described can occur it will dominate.

I responded to this statement: "You craft the filters, so if that makes no sense it’s because you didn’t craft the right thing".

No. No one in their right mind wants to "craft filters". If you require people to "craft filters" or "combine a set of available filters to make a composed filter", you've failed. It doesn't mater if it's Shortcut, or Linera, or JIRA, or any of the dozens of JIRA replacements/wannabes.

That's the thing I'm responding to. An all your examples and allusions only serve to show that you don't understand this simple fact.

For people to want to "combine/craft filters" these filters have to be immediate, smart, autocompleting, and properly predictive. As an example, Youtrack[1] shows how to do that more-or-less properly (though it has other issues). Shortcut can't even complete available states when you type `state:` into the search box.

> As far as I can tell, the mathematical definition of a filter is that it's composed of sub-filters.

Literally no one using project management software cares about mathematical definition of filter. Not a single soul.

The great thing about Apple doing stuff like that is the sheer scale they reach.

Sure, there were many services like that before, and many of us have used them. But making it an integral part of iOS can drive mass adoption. You have to credit Apple for that.
Nice description of the correct intended behavior! It is indeed an Easter Egg; a function that returns the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

After the addition of double-precision floating point support in V2 of the boot ROM (B1 silicon), we had just over 30 bytes spare. Removing any of the slightly obtuse space-saving techniques already used in the code always resulted in code that didn't fit, so we were left with the free space.

Nature abhors a vacuum, so I decided on an Easter Egg (note there is no secure code in the RP2040 boot ROM). It was surprisingly challenging to come up with some very short code which actually did something, but whose purpose was not immediately obvious. I was also super interested to see how long it would take someone to find it - 15 months apparently :-)

Hopefully it provided you some amusement/puzzle value... I sort of hoped it would be more confusing the more ARM assembly you knew, as it potentially sets off all sorts of wrong pattern-matching in the brain.
But the market is how it is. I'm on an 1050Ti. Even this would be an upgrade if price/power consumption is right.

I have strong doubts about power consumption though.
Probably, but I would imagine it would be a lower priority compared to NIC or CPU based backdoors.

Considering that China controls most of the NIC supply, I doubt they would be too concerned about implementing a GPU based backdoor.

I’m surprised that we still don’t have a cheap domestic Data Diode option. It is clear that only way to be secure is to never directly connect to internet.
It's not a permanent lockdown... just for a few weeks (so far)
Probably a similar risk profile to that of every other common respiratory virus…
Like any target, when it becomes a target, ceases to be a good measure. But I remember some of the parts. most where pattern matching. or memory retention.

Most humans cannot get better at this easily at least. You can always try...

On working memory, I think the average is 7, or something like that, Try to remember a number in inversed order and see if you get past that to 9-10 that´s pretty hard to learn too

I remember the day our class was asked about a dice. I was the only know that knew by observation the response to which number was under the dice not being visible.

PS They always add up to seven

YMMV
I was getting quite a lot of spams too. So, I ended up creating a brand new email address and rewriting name and email with:

git filter-branch -f --env-filter \
"GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Newname'; GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='newemail'; \
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME='committed-name';
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL='committed-email';" HEAD
To be honest I was worried about that too, but I didn't know how else to do it. Sorry about that :S
I agree with this and I haven't done enough of these kind of projects but I did create this parkrun map as the one on the parkrun website was not very good.

It's really simple but I use it often myself and other people are finding it too, which is nice.
It will be interesting to see whether Form's iron-air batteries end up priced out of the market as storage cost continues plummeting with no bottom in sight. I have not seen round-trip efficiency figures for iron-air, so guess it must be low. (I welcome correction.)

Transportability of synthetic liquid storage media will make them attractive even where still more expensive than alternatives. Their cost will continue on down, too.

It surprises most people that low round-trip efficiency in a storage medium doesn't matter much anymore.

Even in the eastern US, there are many remote areas where there is no communication coverage except for satellite.

While I think a lot of people should be a lot more comfortable being out of communication range (and proper planning, packing emergency gear, spares, etc can greatly help), in recreational areas that are not so remote, the spread of low band 5G (basically extra 4G+ coverage) really makes the ability to work remotely (even more) valuable..
According to https://www.xfinity.com/Corporate/Customers/Policies/Subscri... you have to give up your rights to a class action and a jury trial to get Comcast service.

Additionally, they spend a ton of money lobbying and otherwise unfairly impeding competition, so in many places in the US, they are the only option, so it's give up your civil rights to lawsuits, or stay offline (or pay a wireless carrier who does the same anticompetitive scumbag shit a heinous price per gigabyte).

The state of both wireless and wireline broadband in the US is totally broken, and it's not getting fixed because it's broken by design, as part of the general attitude by large corporate interests and cooperative legislatures and regulatory bodies to treat the US population as a sort of natural resource like a flock of sheep to be fleeced rather than as legitimate customers to be serviced (or a legitimate market to be participated in on merits).

They do this by ensuring that there is no meaningful competition, and ensuring that if you do "willingly" engage in service with them, you have no meaningful legal recourse if they abuse you.

Trouble is... I don't think I could build anything that I'd actually have a use for in less than 1-3 months, except for extremely ad hoc things that you can't really predict in advance, like a file convert and rename script.

I can think of 4 projects on my own, lifetime total, that I would consider ready for a "Version 1.0.0" tag, and far more that regret ever spending time on, some that required more time on top of that to disentangle myself one(Especially with hardware, where you've now got physical stuff to deal with).

The only small projects I've been happy with are the pure toys and decorations. One was a replacement for fortune, but it generates them dynamically using a MadLib style text replacement engine. Another was a candle flicker simulator.

Anything tool or infrastructure or library-like has usually become a regret, save for one multiyear megaproject, and a few things with zero reasonable alternatives.

I think the best small projects are the ones that are purely self contained, that will never have anything else depend on them, that will never be part of you "personal baggage" to maintain.
> Microsoft implied that they might stay on Windows 10 indefinitely[2].

Sure, "implied" in the sense that the article quotes a spokesman saying "Windows 10 is the last version of Windows".
I think it's important to define what it means for you to "finish the project".

Is your project "finished", when you see an MVP that you can release to the world? Your project now has a minimum set of features that delivers the initial value you thought it would deliver?

Is it worthwhile to do a Show HN on it? (and risk no one clicking on it because HN receives so many submissions? :)

Is it worthwhile to release on PH? (and so many products launched in PH thesedays are... pretty much well-polished, revenue ready - if not funded etc)

What comes after you "finishing" your projects? Will you continue? or move on to something else?

For me, one of the ways to define "finishing" was to make sure that it launches with some type of payment plan. It is an MVP, but it also has monetization in it so that should anyone else wish to pay for it and use it, they can do so immediately.

Sure, not all projects are about payment and those projects are fine (which is why I said 'one of the ways'...) but if I know that this is something that I'd like to continue to work on because I enjoy it and I know it has legs, I try to find some way of generating revenue to see what the response would be.

Thoughts?
What was the alternative?
Please don't claim disinformation unless there's evidence of intentional deception, which doesn't appear to the case here. Instead, try to add to the discussion. For example, your claim raises the question of why many existing solar farms were built in deserts. Did something change since they were built?
In the US in 2020, decommissioned nuclear generating capacity was replaced by six times as much wind and solar capacity. That only accounts for grid-scale capacity, not commercial projects like rooftop systems on large warehouses, or residential systems.

That tells you all you need to know. The people who make money off selling electricity are buying wind and solar.

Attention is focused on grid infrastructure improvements like HVDC, and battery storage systems. Battery systems are even being deployed privately; for example, it's a lot easier to locate an EV DC fast charging station if it sucks down a continuous ~20kW to charge its own power reservoir, than if it needs 300-400kW to directly charge two EVs at full speed.
Yes it's kept track of (for that newsletter I mentioned, among other things); and yes it's naturally a bit unevenly distributed - I myself probably don't give as many 'props' as I should, and probably don't receive as many either (not that I mind, as I'm not "seeking" specific acknowledgement/recognition anyways, having been there over a decade now).

It's not the only way we do recognition of course (there's the normal management/review thing) - this is just one of the more open, visible ways to do it for us.

React doesn't have to be your whole website. Even the starter tutorial in the docs starts off by showing you how to just add in React through a CDN and make a react app as a single component of a bigger webpage

Obviously that's not at all how it's used in practice (or even in the create-react-app template), but I do think there's a place for something like React
So what is the secret sauce here? Is it a scam? Are they bringing anything new to the table?

Their timeline is pretty tight with first rig in 2 years and commercial level first power plant in another 2. They should have demonstrated at least a couple of holes deeper than a few km by now you'd assume.

POW status doesn't shield from prosecution for war crimes and crimes against humanity. So, imagine what you come up upon enemy soldiers who have committed a war crime. Even if these soldiers are otherwise eligible for POW status, you aren't going to give them it, and instead you're going to arrest and put these soldiers into the war crimes prosecution/punishment process.

As genocide and ethnic cleansing are the officially declared major goals of the war, anybody participating in any way on Russian side is immediately guilty, just by mere fact of participation in the war, of those crimes. As a result any Russian soldier is subject to criminal prosecution the moment they captured.

Some situations seem to be even more straightforward:

In the video the Ukrainians say "marauders" about those Russians, and the Russian armored carrier in the video has various civilian property loaded on it (and the marauding by Russians is very widespread). Officially marauding in Ukraine right now is a war crime punishable by prison, while on practice in various regions the regional administration has declared it as punishable by shooting on the spot.
Trying this out in a sandbox now and I really like it. I think I'll give this a go for a while. I wish it had a few more options though like being able to send it to the tray.
Mimir needs 30TB of RAM for a billion of active time series. That's too big price for horizontal scalability comparing to the original Prometheus, which requires around 4TB of RAM for a billion of active time series according to https://www.robustperception.io/how-much-ram-does-prometheus...

It would be great comparing Mimir RAM usage to other horizontally scalable time series databases such as M3DB, TimescaleDB, InfluxDB and others.
One of the reasons aircrafts like Boeing runs on safer languages like Ada.

There's a pretty cool article about it: http://archive.adaic.com/projects/atwork/boeing.html

edit: To those stating it was C++ portion of the compiler code at fault. That's not the point. Ada offers greater protection against segfaults than Rust. Not to mention that part of the compiler still being written in C++ and not Rust doesn't bode well.
How do I report Hide My Email abuse? Someone used it to send a nasty email to my company. I couldn’t figure out how to report it. My guess is there is no way to do it and there won’t be until after some reporters make it the Apple scandal of the week when there’s no other news.
I have worked as a translator and interpreter, and I agree. I have often found translation to be a great way to reveal sloppy thinking that is hiding behind a turn of phrase. I promised myself that if I were ever became important enough to publish things read by lots of people, I would be sure to translate them even if it weren't necessary, as a way to review them.
My cat also seems to understand that his reflection is just a reflection, and ignores it.

He gets spooked when he sees his faint reflection in glass, for example in front of the fake fireplace.

Part of it is that dogs and cats identify each other by smell as much as, if not more than, sight. A reflection may not register as a real dog/cat to most of them.

>Which groups can you "not criticize" in the US?

I can never answer this question from a personal experience because I don't live in the US and never have, but I can give a noisy estimate from my experience of the (quite US-dominated) internet and global media ecosystem.

Here are groups you're not allowed to criticise on the internet without being held to much higher standards than most things :

- Gays

- Transgender people

- 'Progressive' ideas in general, which includes the above two as special cases but also things like feminism and racial minorities.

Those ideas are 'in power' in the sense that they are the semi-official ideologies of the public-facing institutional machinery of western countries: The EU and Euro-American news corporation will worry about the bigoted treatment of lgbt individuals even as an entire country of millions is threatened with an invasion, the UN has specialized bureaucratic organs for "Empowering Women" but not so for men, "Kill All Men" is a funny ironic joke you can make on twitter but "Kill All Women", or even the much milder "Good Morning I Hate Women", is a big bomb to blow anywhere, reddit admins - regardless of the subreddit - will routinely lock or delete any thread that even mentions that trans people are not the coolest thing since kittens were invented. I can go on and on.
I agree with you to the extent that components = interactive. But there are other benefits of a component model, even for pages which are mostly static. They allow you to develop the same page and its various (reusable) parts with the same code for rendering the static parts and the dynamic parts. This is especially nice on sites where the dynamic-to-static ratio may vary significantly between pages, or between areas of the same page.

This use case hasn’t been particularly well supported by many component libraries (React among them; Marko being a long time notable exception), but it’s an area that’s currently having a bit of a renaissance: there is of course Marko which has supported this model for years, joined by other notable frameworks like Astro and Qwik. Even React is moving more in this direction with Server Components, just targeting other use cases.

The component model will continue to thrive, not because everything is interactive, but because components are an excellent abstraction for developing for the web (and a lot of other formats).
Thank you so much alfonso for the thorough and honest feedback!

Do you mind expanding on that? I think I get the point, but I don't understand concretely how it could be done.
use gcc -fdump-translation-unit switch compile old code, compile new code.

compare the differenct between the old gcc AST against the new gcc AST (or differences between the AST's generated when different compile switches are used)

Doesn't mean there aren't assembly language differences, but will narrow things down.
Perhaps after two months I will think differently :D
Apple provides data on iCloud subscribers to the police without search warrants or probable cause over 20k times every year(!) (under FAA 702, aka PRISM), because the US federal government illegally demands it and Apple has no ability to really stop them without their staff going to jail (thanks to the government's secret interpretations of what FAA 702 really means). Much of the data in iCloud is not end-to-end encrypted (including the keys protecting all of your iMessages, as well as all your photos, and your device backups) so this is a huge amount of data on/about you they can be compelled to turn over at any time without probable cause.

This means that you shouldn't use iCloud (even if you have nothing to hide). The fact that there is no probable cause required means that the state can demand this data as part of a fishing expedition to abuse/harass even the totally innocent.

This means that features like this, which lock you in to using iCloud in the long term, should be assiduously avoided.
