For what it's worth, I've been able to use a prepaid card with <WELL-KNOWN LARGE CLOUD PROVIDER> for a while now without any problems. Maybe they're not all created equal.

A rendering layer. With Lexical, you'd have to add in the React layer, which wasn't already included in the bundle size comparison.
I second and confirm this. It is true, but my <CLOUD PROVIDER> has been cracking down on it more more recently.
How's that surprising? Apple and Google get away with 30%, if Facebook is building a whole universe of content then their compensation should scale with it, right?

Joking aside, the current precedent is that these vendors can charge whatever they want on their own platform. I wouldn't even be surprised if this was a strawman designed to spur up litigation against them so the court would finally take these "first party payment processor monopoly" cases seriously. That, or, they get away with it and bump the comission up to 80% or something similarly obnoxious.
WiFi is microwave radiation. Just three orders of magnitude less powerful.
Haha, started thinking of Julia Evans while reading the post and then her name just popped up.
Ah, I would have loved to see that. Never got to, even though I was a Windows Media MVP, I was NDA'd to the Moon, and I was the main tech guy in exec level meetings at Microsoft about Windows Media and the company I was working for was probably the biggest user of WMA in the world.

I wonder if the decoder source is in the Windows source code leaks? I guess Windows Media Player source will be in there. That'd be worth a look for me to see how utterly horrible it actually was.
> It would be interesting to know why the status quo financial system is held in such a high regard?

This is a false dichotomy.

It is possible to both think that the existing financial system is fairly awful, while at the same time thinking that bitcoin/crypto is useless and worse.
Unfortunately, your citation hardly supports your position, which by itself is unsupported. Well, it does in the 4th answer down, yet unconvincingly (focusing on drag, but does not eliminate the possibility of a tack with more drag still
being faster, because, why not?), and with poor evidence (using America's Cup claiming the downwind tacks were much faster... buuuuut... the wind... it changes, and this is not accounted for in that answer, but clearly the upwind velocities will not be the same as the downwind, as they occur in different places at different times; even if the downwind and upwind (a boat tacking or jibing to roughly the opposite direction) are only separated by meters or seconds, they will always, always be different, thus it is foolishness to compare speeds of the same boats traveling upwind as opposed to downwind; it's inappropriate comparison because the wind is never constant).

The truth of the matter is not remotely as clear as you claim, and the debate continues in earnest, and right here right now before your very eyes. I haven't sailed everything, but I have sailed enough to form a strong opinion, and my opinion is close hauls are notably faster than a broad reach or any other tack.
I remember seeing this at the time and thinking: wouldn't a custom UPS be better, tunable with custom firmware and a web interface and / or screen, etc.

Someone should build that sort of product and market it to audiophiles.

Edit to add: I see there exists a product category known as power conditioners, that's part the way there.

I'm in a similar boat; while not as powerful as the new Macs, on a whim I recently bought a ThinkPad Ryzen 5 (one with 6 cores) with 24 gigs of memory. Running Linux. (To be fair my existing personal laptop was 8 years old and I was getting bored with it).

I don't know what to do to take full advantage of it.

The things I normally do on a personal machine can be done with a Raspberry Pi.

Years ago I used to contribute to Linux, Firefox etc (nothing substantial). I'm not sure if I want to go back to that.

For Firefox Mobile (Android), there are infact minor bugs that I face, but the patches for that submitted by other community members haven't been looked into for over a year [1] and this is not the only patch like this, so I'm not sure if I should even bother. I understand they're probably busy and/or overworked and/or have higher priority things to work on.

So I'm looking for suggestions to take advantage of my laptop.

Microwave ovens run at 2.4 GHz. 4G cellular includes 2.3 and 2.5 GHz bands (among others). So in terms of absorption by tissue, cell towers absolutely have the right frequencies.

What they don’t have is the power level to have much effect beyond a few feet.
The defense that this is a scheduled posting doesn’t help their argument at all. It really points to the fact that they were entirely unprepared to respond to an event like this. Like you said — when you’re in the middle of a crisis, there is no such thing as “regular communication”.
If you don't mind me asking, do you run the first one on your local computer or do you use some kind of cloud service like ec2 so it runs constantly without worrying about down time?
The links you've provided more deal with how to keep NuGet package versions consistent across multiple projects within a solution. While this does solve an issue, it is not the problem being discussed.

Package version consistency is certainly an issue of merit and deserves attention, however for our company's use case is a minor bugbear in comparison to the issue of package references (for build) vs source or project references (for development) in large codebases that lean heavily on shared dependencies.

I cooked myself with RF when I was a teenager.

Well, it was just my finger, but did it ever hurt!

I was setting up a new ham radio transmitter and antenna. I don't remember what I did wrong, but I got a nasty RF burn in my finger.

That's "in", not "on". Imagine a bad burn, but one where you can tell it's not just on the surface but goes deep into the tissue. And takes quite some time to heal.

I did have a lot of fun with ham radio, that one experience aside.
Considering how many people on the internet talk about using these cards for evading contractual obligations (e.g. cancelling the card instead of going through the contract cancellation process and paying the termination fee, if any), it's surprising their acceptance has lasted as long as it has.
I don't like being around antennas. Especially when hiking trails take me past one of those microwave horns. Maybe it's a phobia, but I always wonder if hiking trails were taken into account.

I also suspect that thermal ranges are limited due to the challenges of radiating away heat.

Cooling things in space turns out to be hard. There's no convection or conduction, so all cooling occurs via radiation. I believe the ISS radiators are rated at about 1 watt per m^2, which means that you can calculate the radiator area (and mass) given your power budget.

To a first approximation, the ISS radiators are about the same size as its solar panels.

This is a factor missing from virtually all sci-fi representations of space ships. I had this realisation a few years back talking about 2001 --- the Discovery should have had a huge set of radiator fins given its nuclear propulsion (ion drive I believe, in the story universe). Wikipedia states that there were radiators in the book, though I don't recall that element.

Thanks for these leads. I'm setting up a nonprofit at the moment and I'm definitely interested in receiving crypto donations. The question is whether to keep crypto accounts or always convert immediately to fiat like Wikimedia?
Thanks God that there is an easy way for Ukrainian to consune Russian propaganda has appeared.

Do not understand me wrong, but Ukrainian govt has blocked maybe half of Russian internets, so if I want to know what enemy is thinking about I need vpn. Not to mention that most of that carpet blockings are doing that to peaceful resources (idiots). Now if I will buy a Russian vpn and go to Tiktok I can see user-generated only content mostly about war. Bellissimo!
I honestly don’t understand why W3Schools is a top site in Google. I blocked it after I realized all the site provides is a few lines of code snippets that supposedly explain how a certain CSS function works.

I’m not sure we really are. The perpetual warfare in the absence of a treaty doesn’t really seem to hold water in a world where South Korea has opened factories in North Korea or the PRC and ROC openly trade.

That said, even if it does qualify, that doesn’t seem to be the charge pursued by the Prosecutors so moot.

Reversing cameras essentially have the same function. They are amazing too btw. The one change to cars in the past 50 years that i really care about.

I don't mind having a carburetor. I don't mind wind down windows. I don't mind manual gearboxes. But I demand reversing cameras. It lets you know exactly where the car is as you parallel park.
I love Rust elixir Nifs. Gives you the best of both worlds to be honest. Highly fault tolerant code with fast computation. Only downside is that it can't really handle extreme crashes like a native process can.
How on earth did you rope cancel culture into this conversation?
> Gold containing solder, on the other hand, is nonsense.

Well, actually™, it turns out gold-tin alloys (which is what this probably is) get used a lot for solder, particularly in optoelectronic and microelectronic device packaging. You may already know this, but I didn't until tonight, when I thought, "Hey, is this really a thing?" and looked it up. :)

(I can't see anything that suggests it helps with "clearer sound," of course. I also searched for "audio-grade solder" out of curiosity and it seems there are some companies that market solder that way, but they seem to generally be (a) silver alloy, not gold, and (b) regarded rather skeptically.)
Funnily, for permanent hair removal, you actually insert a thin probe/antenna/needle into the tissue, then transmit three times each for 1 second at 13.7MHz at ~180W to destroy the surrounding tissue.

Cosmeticians sometimes also use this to destroy certain blemishes.

That was an interesting video, thank you. Neat to see centimeter wave RF demonstrated so practically.
Exactly. On top of that, Apple is still in the minority and refuses to support the Vulkan API they helped design. So, from a development standpoint, rewriting your software to support ~15% of your potential market isn't a very lucrative idea. Especially when the vast majority of those users will be running relatively incapable hardware, at least on the GPU side of things.
Seems like you're still assigning blame. Incidents are rarely if ever monocausal. The fantastic and accurate point the GP made is that fingerpointing is pointless. Much better to seek to learn and understand, which is always difficult but definitely can't be done from the sidelines without speaking to those involved.
Maybe worth merging threads since they're about the same event and that post has some comments by a maintainer.
> You're wrong. It was definitely made to fill a practical need: avoiding the middle man.

No I'm not. Also, with cryptocurrency you still have middlemen. To whom are you paying fees to clear your transactions on your dog-slow, unscalable, extremely inefficient network?

And why do these systems have the negative characteristics I just mentioned? The peculiar ideological obsessions I referred to earlier.

> Why do you think it's so popular in corrupt authorarian thirld-word countries? And if you live in the US/Europe, you'll get there eventually.

I'll believe it when I see it. And frankly, those use cases are nonsensical. How exactly is someone supposed to convert their Syrian Pounds into cryptocurrency, and after they do that, what use is it? It's not like it's an actual currency that you can buy things with. It's mainly speculative investment surrounded by enormous hype.
Apparently getting fired for incompetence is now cancel culture lol. Sign me up for that world for sure!
In fact, many times they're even asked to do so by moderators when they think it'd be a good idea.
The main issue with Go in this regard is that it generally doesn't have multiple ways of doing the same thing at least idiomatically. I mean sure, there are architectural choices you could make in a rewrite but the actual structure of the code itself is going to be very similar.
Bingo, when I had two acres, I would have installed a shed for the thing to home in on and then let it run every other day. I had lots of problems with some weeds which if were nipped in the bud early, then I'd have a nice yard.

The only downside is that I'd need decent monitoring to alert me that I need to intervene before a serious mow is needed.
Cancellation fees are ridiculous nonsense in 99% of cases anyway. I have no sympathy.

Quality depends heavily on how corrupt your government is — in Germany, these strict tests are actually that strict and work well. But obviously not everyone can get a license due to this. (e.g., I opted not to spend the 2000€ that a license would cost).
> If your device is hacked at the firmware level, it can be turned into a microwave weapon and used against you. (My hypothesis of the cause of Havana Syndrome: hacked cell transmitters beaming microwave at targets.)

No, no it can't. It is physically impossible for any part of cellular infrastructure, be it the phones or the base stations, to direct enough power at an arbitrary person to cause any effect. Phones simply don't have the power to harm a human and the inverse square law means that even high power base stations are safe from more than a few feet.

I’d be interested in seeing the program that OP’s colleague has to see energy consumption per device. I want this for electricity, gas, and water. The utilities are starting to get into smart metering, but they’re not up to what I’m looking for yet, at least not my providers.
I'll echo the dead commenter. The text is quite bitter, but nothing about seems "psychotic".
Microwave is a ridiculously broad term. By some definitions it is any signal from about 300MHz to 300GHz, but in the industry we don't really consider it microwave until you get to L-band (1-2GHz), and even then, compared to a lot of stuff we do that's extremely low frequency (I've worked mostly in X, Ka and E-bands - ~7-9, 18-19, 28-31 GHz up to 80-90GHz). But WiFi and cellular are definitely microwave, as are the big point-to-point links you're talking about.

Not that I'm agreeing with the parent comment - having worked in the microwave comms industry (and a little bit of radar) for about 10 years, the best explanation I've heard for 'Havana Syndrome' is closer to food poisioning than anything to do with RF. I think the US Government has basically walked back any claims that they were actual attacks recently too.
They didn't. The convinced the browsers and operating systems.
This needs some serious qualification... For starters, please feel free to define "divisive". I had no idea we were all under some olbigation to be non-divisive, or "united".

Secondly, HN is full of posts about the ineffectiveness of ad campaigns, advertising in general and even targeted ads at influencing people heavily. These are campaigns often orchestrated by multibillion dollar corporations that hire PhDs of all kinds to tailor their messages. Yet on the other hand -and especially since the media "misinformation" fiasco of resentment over Trump's victory against the elite's better judgement of what's best for the masses own decision making- suddenly any minor foreign group can somehow magically brainwash millions of Americans and others into making all sorts of decisions.

I don't at all doubt that foriegn actors use social networks to spread memes and attempts at viral lies. I've seen plenty of examples of this in action. Its influence level however is being absurdly exaggerated and in very hypocritical, very self serving and ideologically charged ways. All the more laughable is the idea that any of this is something new or outside the area of what supposedly respectable major media organizations would do. Does anyone remember anything about how news sources operated before the advent of the internet? Does anyone recall the innumerable times major publications toed grotesque government lie machines for the sake of specific interests?
Does This Function Terminate?
When something has been around for a while but never caught on we're usually quite dismissive by default, usually on the assumption that it never caught on for a reason. Think of your own reaction the last time 3D TV's were hot.

Things will usually fail for the same reason again and agian unless there's been a fundamental change to make it more feasible, like battery tech making the latest round of electric vehicles successful.
I think the sign of human activity that is the most visible from the furthest out into space is forestry clearcuts.

They are much bigger than cities. Farms fade and start to blend together and their perfect geometric shapes are harder to see.

But clearcuts are more haphazard but spread over hundreds of kilometers, so even when you zoom out really far, it just looks like someone spilled a bunch of salt on the map.
I wrote one to organise the highlights and notes I make on the Kindle paperwhite eReader. It takes in the .txt file with the highlights and outputs a folder with every book as a txt/md file which contains all the highlights from that particular book. I use it every week when I review what I've been reading. It's a really simple JS file but when it worked it felt like magic.
I'm guilty of not using Guix Home yet, though it is on my list (currently have a set up I like with org-mode and GNU Stow, not sure how to combine with this yet). I think the general idea is similar to the Guix system configuration where you declare what you want (using Guile) and then Guix Home puts everything where it needs to go in $HOME. This will keep previous copies (generations) to roll back to and should let you use the power of everything Guix/Guile to manage and generate them. But, as I've said, haven't yet dived int. Hope that is the general idea, but as someone that hasn't used Nix, can't compare them.
I think it would be helpful to explicitly say that draft.js is deprecated here [1]. I was recently caught out by this, and started using draft.js without realising it’s been abandoned.

Try Mineclone 2. It's an open-source libre Minecraft clone which runs on top of the Minetest voxel engine and has 99% (almost) feature parity with MC 1.12, can be expanded with hundreds of mods and it runs natively in Linux. You'll be surprised at how polished it is already. In fact, it's so similar to the original Minecraft 1.12 in both gameplay and appearance that it surprises me that Microsoft/Mojang hasn't threatened a lawsuit (yet). I downloaded it just out of curiosity some time ago and now I play it more often than Minecraft itself because of all the fun mods I can try.

Alternatively you can try MultiMC as an alternative Minecraft launcher, never had an issue with it.
> typing performance in our testing is around 30-70% faster compared to Draft.

At how many "Lines of Code" ? I am skeptical that scaling characteristics from 10k to 100k to 1 million is linear, so I'm curious what 30-70% actually means.

For example, VSCode tried a new text buffer and benchmarked at different source text sizes. There is a critical point where their PieceTree implementation scales , whereas the line-based text buffer approach does not scale.

At least at one point they had satellites deployed for this purpose. The phenomena they used to determine whether a detonation had taken place was the characteristic 'double flash'. You can read some more about this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vela_incident

They don't need to resort to such clandestine measures as infiltrating people's smartphones for this purpose. A nuclear blast was a pretty difficult thing to hide even 40 years ago.

Yeah, I'm an engineer. I'd guess that neither I nor most of my coworkers do. It's much more common amongst lower-level engineers than, say, product engineers. Heck, I work full time in Python + Typescript and I don't even know Bash. I never even have things I want to script. Most of my time is spent making sense of code, not doing any sort of complicated repeatable task.
