>> the impact of competitive provision has been pivotal to getting fibre rolled out quicker

Yeah i agree, although it does seem like someone there is now awake to the idea that they might not be the most efficient operation.

OpenReach installed fibre in my street’s existing underground network over the pandemic via a subcontractor then they subcontracted a company for the customer premises hookup. That latter company were way more efficient than i expected. At my property the previous owners cemented over the opening at the house end of the duct that runs from the BT pit out in the street, under my garden to my house. It meant the chap who was due to install my FTTP couldn’t run the fibre from the pit to my house. He phoned his colleagues in another van, they showed up 20 mins later and broke ground in my garden to intercept the duct then run a new sub-duct to my house then fed the fibre. The original chap in the meantime went and installed another house. These chaps put everything back as it was except i had a nice neat new fibre box at the front of the house from under the garden. Original chap came back another hour or two later and finished off the commissioning.

When the problem became apparent i was expecting weeks of delay with openreach, instead my install took 2.5 hours instead of 45 mins but all done same day.

It’s nice finally having decent broadband speeds…

I'm sure it's possible if you live in a place that pays you much above the costs of living, but such places are very rare and the rest of us are barely keeping up with costs (especially if you are poor and have more costs).
I think about rate-limiting from an unprivileged user perspective and saw it first at https://github.com/sebsauvage/Shaarli/blob/master/index.php#.... So e.g. fail2ban is not an option. And the application has to deal with it.

I care more about load/DOS than actual crack success. What means the firewall is the sensible place. Not the application.

Or just take the risk, make backup/restore simple and do intrusion detection by monitoring a dedicated endpoint with e.g. https://updown.io/44q5 and let things happen for the sake of simplicity.

This guy crashed a plane for profit. The fact that US law doesn't seem to have any meaningful sanction for him is not a reason for it to stay up.

They should delete the video. And I really don't understand the argument that they shouldn't stop him using their platform; my goodness if Youtube was mine he'd be gone and I wouldn't for a second wonder if there was any meaningful free speech implication for removing it.

He is dangerous, and the allure of more views on youtube made him do a dangerous thing. I'd be like: "OK, you're not my customer anymore".
They just didn't account the health status of the vaccinated children.
Maybe there is a reason they took the vaccine because of other conditions, that have relevance to the higher mortality.

Maybe the results would be exactly the same, if both groups have been separated and no vaccine was administered at all. I don't know for sure...

It's like saying hospitals are death traps, because most people die there. I can easily support this with data.

NTA. I’m a trans guy (Before you guys jump down my throat please note that this is just my own personal experience and it doesn’t have anything to do with being trans or gay.) and I have a beard. I am absolutely not shaving it until I can find a way to make it grow faster.

When I was going through my transition I had researched ways to make my beard grow faster. I didn’t want to shave because I barely have any hair to begin with and I didn’t want to go through the process of just being clean-shaven again. However, I didn’t want to just leave it uncut because I like to play with my beard and I didn’t want it to get too long. So I found a compromise. I shave a little every other day and leave the rest. At first it didn’t really matter because it just looked like I hadn’t shaved in a couple days. I was careful not to do it too much so it didn’t really affect my beard. However, over time the hair just grows back thicker and thicker. Not only does my beard look better than most guys but it

Paying for the content is what Apple TV is doing, isn't it? You can "rent" (one-time view) a video for a lower price, or "buy" the video at a higher price (which isn't the same as owning it, of course. It just allows you to watch it more than once). But you're still paying per individual movie.

I'm skeptical about your statement - diabetics who take metformin '.. live longer than non-diabetics in general'. I don't believe that is true. There is lots of research about metformin helping people, but making diabetics live longer than non-diabetics seems too far a reach. Can your provide a citation for this? I am not a diabetic, I tried to convince my doctor to let me take metformin but she thought there were some risks (such as a the recent papers on it causing birth defects in the children of men who were taking it - https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/28/health/paternal-metformin-use...

What are the functional differences in display (not input) between an actual 3D display and a 3D object projected onto a 2D display? The only two I can think of are first, being able to use our eyes’ actual depth perception ability instead of the brain imagining it, and second, being able to move your head to get perspective.

What are the differences in input? I can think of being able to touch the display more directly. The world is indeed tactile, and I hope such a display would be, too, instead of touching air. No matter how reactive the display is, touching air would not be the same as touching real objects.

The problem is that all of these “advantages” require physical movement: moving your hands, arms, and head. Doing this for creative work, which takes a lot of time, would be exhausting. There is a reason why touch screens on desktop computers are not common, even though we have the technology. Your arms get tired.

A trackball mouse is a way, way more effective 3D modeling tool than directly manipulating items with your hands. You can work a lot quicker and with a lot less movement.
This is what I thought at the time. It just goes to show that guys like this project their own stupidity onto their audiences (this is not always an unsuccessful strategy)

You seem clueless in ethnic matters. Imagine your children school changing the "language of instruction" to French.

Worse yet, the people of the website you are quoting are just as clueless and entirely not understanding what's going on here. To the extent of giving themself out.

I never lived in the US, but from the outside that is quite interesting. While we don't see that many people exposing themselves at schools over here, there certainly are in parks and the like. I don't worry about that, really, sexual predators aren't exposing in public. The one thing I would be worried about so, if my kids went to school in the US, would be some other student showing up with a gun and shooting up the place.

Swap is exceptionally evil with any managed language (e.g. Java/C#) - running the GC over swap is effectively indistinguishable from a hard crash... except it takes forever.

I have not used swap for over 20y, and never "missed" it.

I agree with you on the more nuanced distinction, I just didn't want to open the discussion of what legitimate power structures constitue.

Re your criticism of left-anarchism, one of the big unsolved challenges in my eye is exactly your point: how do you keep per from pooling? In a sense, you also need a "state" but one which has as it's explicit goal the self dissolution - which is of course the same paradox that ancaps face. The difference to me is that it seems to me more feasible to build societal systems and cultures that disperse power if we build our ideology around consent and cooperation than to build a society where the central building block is the by-necessity cooperation of small dictators who somehow are supposed to also respect their weaker neighbors private property rights. The former seems like positive feedback loops are possible (and we see spontaneous cooperation like this emerge throughout history, without any powerful person pushing it) while the latter...was the robber barons and cleptocrats of the 19th,20th and 21st century

Re your question, I don't like to quibble to much about this if it doesn't have a possible payoff, but do you believe in e.g. environmental regulations, provision of public goods via a regulated healthcare system, basic education etc? If yes then I think your position might be rare amongst self identified minarchists. If not, then do you see how e.g. natural monopolies like healthcare or highly influential realms like healthcare are open to power concentration and state hijacking?

> Not at all. It was you and OP who asked for some kind of "killer app" from web3. My response is to say that this is an absurd ask.

No. Your response is literally "you wouldn't ask Unix people to create VisiCalc instead of compilers", but they did, to which you responded "but it isn't free".

> it already exists, you just prefer to ignore it. I may agree that Bitcoin as a currency is a failed experiment, there is no denying that the possibility of sending value across borders is the killer app already.

You mean, the thing that people have been doing since the invention of borders is the killer app?

> But I am sure you want to ignore that

No, I'm not ignoring that. And the reason it doesn't count because original question was about web3, and if all web3 has to offer is sending money across borders, it's not web3, it's Western Union 2.0.

These are called "time of use tariffs".

Here in Belgium this type of tariff is marketed under the name "dynamic tariff". (It's only offered by the biggest player Engie, but other companies are working on it.) The price varies hourly, but it is determined by the day-ahead electricity market so the price schedule for the day is known the evening before.

Besides, inexcusable atrocities being picked up by large parts of the industry (hi javascript), are pretty common and one could bet that they afford much more learning and real world value than perfect academic solutions never used by anyone
I have created a game inspired by Wordle
Name : Guess the last word in worlde (Wordle)

Link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.guessthewordle.guessthelastwordinwordle

Everyone have fixed few initial starting words(AROSE , ARISE , FIGHT etc) and guess last only few remaining. So created game where you have to guess one word only based on already filled words

If you try the game, I would love to see your results in the comments and the feedback is massively appreciated since this is my first project I'm sharing with other people.

Also this is a FREE game and no install/registration needed.
https://translatelocally.com/ is a nice gui around marian/bergamot. So far not very many bundled pairs, though I would guess any of the models from https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT-train/tree/master/mo... and https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge/blob/maste... should be usable.

There is also Apertium, a rule-based system which is very good for some closely-related pairs that have had a lot of work put into them (especially translation between Romance languages, e.g. Spanish→Catalan, and Norwegian Bokmål→Nynorsk), and the only OK translator for some lesser-resourced languages (e.g. Northern Saami→Norwegian Bokmål), but very underdeveloped for anything to/from English (it feels a bit pointless writing rules for English where there is so much available data; RBMT shines where there's not enough available data, ie. most of the languages of the world).

Kind of a strawman:

1. Not true, it's not like safety standards were a thing back then. Even in today’s circuses safety isn't a guarantee.

2. It was just one example. Encierros (street bull runs) are still a thing. Plenty dangerous and lots of people involved, even without retribution.

The other side of that coin is millions of workers now available for new and original projects that have to take real chances and break new ground to get off the ground.

Vaudeville and burlesque operated under those rules. Audiences didn't seem to mind. "Who's on first" was not an original act.

Because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, our regular Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales release now provides a separate breakdown of the number of deaths involving COVID-19. That is, where COVID-19 or suspected COVID-19 was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, including in combination with other health conditions.

If a death certificate mentions COVID-19, it will not always be the underlying (main) cause of death, but may be a contributory factor.

> Basically more people died at home than normal

Is exactly my point.

> but these people would have died in hospital anyway.

How do you know that? Again, how many died from Covid and how many died with Covid? You can't answer that because the data simply isn't good enough.

> so there is plenty of evidence that lockdowns and restrictions themselves don’t cause excess mortality.

Hospitals didn't stop taking non emergency cases for shits and giggles. Nobody shut down hospitals in lockdowns. In many cases the healthcare infrastructure was stretched to the breaking point because of high Covid case loads. The point of lockdowns was to flatten the curve and protect the healthcare system. They seemed to have worked in some places and they clearly failed in others. There are multiple factors at play including population demographics which greatly vary across geographies. And that is without even considering the second order effects.

Pretending that there are simple answers and explainations is equal parts disingenuous and delusional.

I created a Wordle game with the ability to make custom words
Hi HN,

In the past I've made many HTML5 web games as a freelancer, before becoming a fulltime full stack engineer. Luckily, at my current job I was given the freedom to make a wordle clone with the ability to create your own custom words.

The game is coded in TypeScript with PixiJS and Greensock for the tweens. It also has a simple AWS backend to store the user created words and map shortened urls to them. The graphics were done by a graphics artist from the same company I work for.

You can play the game here - https://words.gg/nNkbh

In order to create a custom word, click on the bulb icon in your upper right corner. You can also try a non-dictionary word. After that, you can share the custom word link with your friends.

Please let me know what you think and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.
Oh, I know about the Texas example. It wasn't the concept that was bad, it was the implementation. The implementation needs to be coupled with meters where you can set a max price you'll accept.

Any system where you sign a contract that says you'll pay any price to turn on a lamp is idiotic, and so are the people who sign such contracts.

(The wholesale prices fluctuation does little to affect demand, because the demand is on the retail price, which is fixed.)
Not exactly crash landing, Nolan said they rammed a Boeing 747 into a building for Tenet.
Go has moved in this direction before, when they made map iteration order actually random to match the spec that said that you can't depend on iteration order. IIRC the impl is actually pretty light and only randomizes the starting index, and only generates the random offset once at startup, but it's enough to prevent people from accidentally depending on the order e.g. in their test suite. There might be a bit of disruption, but I expect it will be reasonably well received by most Go users.

There's a debate/lesson in here about when implementations should change to actually take up all the space claimed by the spec.
Isn't that like $40/mth to keep a container up? I think it's more geared towards ephemeral short-term container workloads.

You do need swap if you're running Linux on a laptop!

If you want Hibernate to work on your Linux laptop, you'll need to have a swap partition with space equal to (or bigger than) your RAM. Apparently, while there is a way to avoid setting aside a partition by using a swap file instead, it doesn't seem to work as well as using a partition.

Hibernate seems to work OK on my current laptop running Linux * and using a swap partition. I've had poorer experiences with previous laptops though. Now that I'm sure it's possible, having functioning "Hibernate" is a requirement for me when buying Linux laptops.

But the interfaces were always an abstraction, your mind had to learn a different way to interact with something regardless. The tactile feedback is somewhat overstated IMO, you know that what you're feeling and what you're doing aren't directly related, unlike manipulating a Rubik's cube or something. It's good to have that, it helps with an interface, but it doesn't have to be the same as a keyboard just like a keyboard doesn't have to be the same as arranging letter blocks on a table. Touching what you're trying to manipulate, such as on a touchscreen, is more intuitive, but that's what makes it less powerful for complex tasks; you want your abstract interface to enable you to manipulate more than just what you're seeing in front of you, a keyboard does that, a touch screen does not.
