I agree with the important sentiment in your comment, i.e. that a 3 °C increase is a lot… but:

> Sure that's only a 6.5% increase in temperature w.r.t. to 46C

That's not how this works at all. The Celsius (and Fahrenheit) scale sets an arbitrary zero point. To compute the increase in temperature, you need to use an absolute scale, such as Kelvin: 49 °C is 322 K, and 46 °C is 319 K. The increase from 319 K is about 1%.

Think about it this way: Distances are typically measured in absolute units – m, km, feet, miles, whatever. Suppose I introduce a new unit with an arbitrary zero-point, say "1 Blarf is 2 m, but 0 Blarfs is defined as 5 m". That means that 3 m is -1 Blarf, 7 m is 1 Blarf, etc. That still doesn't mean that 2 Blarfs (9 m) is twice as long as 1 Blarf (7 m), even though it would seem that way from naively considering the numeric values of the two lengths in Blarfs.

TLDR: Arbitrary zero points are stupid.

> Industrial users are not price sensitive

That's not a universal truth. I've worked with plenty who are.

> Having the keyboard, monitor, and computer in a single housing with a built-in UPS all in a compact device with a single power cord is a big selling point.

That's not a universal truth either. Sometimes the device will be a headless controller. In which case a laptop wouldn't always the right form factor. There might be additional hardware that needs supporting, which can be much more complicated with laptops. There might be other requirements (eg environmental constraints) too.

"Industrial" covers a pretty large spectrum of use cases.
> I've been thinking about moving to Scandinavia.

Scandinavia has more extreme winters, but not significantly milder summers (unless you head quite a ways northwards).

A better bet would probably be scotland or ireland.
Agreed. Bought a chromebook and made a distro that boots into neovim for this reason.

It's fanless. Cost $45. Makes almost no heat after tweaking. Has a 12 hour battery life under use. Basically functions as an electronic (abeit more advanced) typewriter.

Since the screen is 11 inches. I usually prop the Kindle on one side of it and use nvim in vsplit mode. Half the screen becomes e-ink. Can read and take notes at the same time.
You could make any PC or laptop into a 'low distraction' device by disconnecting it from the Internet and having a minimum install of only the required productivity software.

It won't free you from the distraction of your other devices though, as you've probably got a fully-online phone within reach.
Yeah I was referring to the comments, not the article, because every Bitcoin article comments section devolves immediately into this no matter what the article is about.

From that thread there'll be a blog post from them about this soon which should be a more interesting read.
Ask HN: What languages and technologies/tools are you using?
I'd say that is efficiency, not productivity. Productivity is the total output, not output per unit time.
I don't think there was one particular project, but in general the hobby code I showcased on my blog. I know my interviewer in 2012 checked my blog and asked about the hobby games I was building, for example. I recently used the same blog as a way to show a few examples of my personal technical writing in another process. Overall I think that blog contributed to me getting hired twice.
> How is specialized mining hardware an environmental disaster?

The harsh judgement that it is an environmental disaster rests on these points:

1. The network does a little bookkeeping work, but around 1 billion times less efficient than necessary, just to achieve the defining characteristic of crypto, "trustlessness" or the lack of a central authority.

2. The incentive system is such that by design and ineluctably around one third or so of mining rewards will be wasted on electricity and electro waste.

Other industries work hard to minimise their energy waste, and often impressively successfully, by the way. Bitcoin mining cannot.

(Note: Bitcoin could become 99% more energy efficient overnight (plus minus two weeks), of course, if all the mining pools banded together and took 99% of their hash power offline. After the next difficulty adjustment, BTC would be exactly the same, but waste 99% less energy. If only this coordination problem could be solved, maybe with some kind of ... central authority?)
(Despite the comment clearly being flamewar bait...)

Most of the other comments are correctly suggesting to just not exit emacs. Something opening slowly once at the beginning of a long workflow is hardly an issue. If you must open something quickly over and over again, being proficient in a secondary lightweight editor like vim wouldn't be a bad suggestion.
Ask HN: How Is This Idea?
Brainstorm some ideas about background audio recorder app and virtual assistant that can extract commands for action or save important moment.

1. A background audio recorder app that can automatically record and save important moments, like meetings or lectures.

2. A virtual assistant that can extract commands from speech and convert them into actions, like adding an event to a calendar or sending an email.

3. A note-taking app that records audio in the background and allows you to take notes while you listen, so you don't miss anything important.

4. A translation app that records audio in the background and provides real-time translations, so you can understand what is being said even if you don't speak the language.

5. A learning app that records audio in the background and allows you to listen to it later at a slower speed, so you can understand and learn from it more effectively.

6. An app that records audio in the background and then creates a transcript of the conversation, so you can read it back later and review what was said.

7. A productivity app that records audio in the background and allows you to set reminders or timers based on keywords that are spoken, so you can stay on track with your work.

8. A customer service app that records audio of phone calls and then creates a transcript, so you can review the conversation later and make sure that all the details are correct.

9. An app that records audio in the background and allows you to search through it for specific keywords or phrases, so you can quickly find what you're looking for.

10. A security app that records audio in the background and triggers an alarm if it detects certain keywords or sounds, so you can be alerted if something important is happening.

11. A messaging app that records audio in the background and allows you to send recorded messages to other people, so you can share your thoughts or ideas without having to type them out.

12. A security app that uses the microphone to detect intruders and then sends an alert to your phone, so you can be notified if someone is trying to break into your home.

13. An app that records audio in the background and then creates an index of all the keywords that are spoken, so you can easily search through it later and find what you're looking for.
Imo it’s really simple, actually.
Stop the service and delete after the next billing cycle. Price that in for regular price of the service.
We wrote E2E tests with Cypress before Playwright was around and it was awful. The API is weird to the extent that it is basically a DSL based on Javascript. And the tests were flaky because rerenderings could happen between Cypress getting the DOM element and interacting with it. It seems they haven't fixed that one to this day.[0]

The team is also very confident about their approach. They build their own asynchronous concepts that are not interoperable with async/await, openly acknowledge that it is hard to wrap your head around and then dismiss these concerns by asserting that "Asynchronous APIs are here to stay in JavaScript.".[1] The Github issue about the lost DOM elements is also full of answers by a team member intent on writing blog posts that explain what the user is doing wrong rather than fixing the root problem.

I'm really glad that Playwright came around. It is intuitive, pragmatic and has none of the problems above.

Transferring the $1 vs $1000 digitally, have no technical difference and hence the commission based payment cut is something that I have a hard time to accept.

Btw I am from India. Earlier,every time I see people swipe the cards in the retail stores, I felt sorry for the shopkeepers as they had to bear the 1.5%-2% as transaction charges of the total amount paid.

It all changed after the launch of UPI payment system, now I can just pay 5-10 INR(7 cents to 13 cents) to a shopkeeper without feeling the guilt of payment charges.
It has been more than two years when I used my last VISA card payment transaction for any retail shopping. I think other countries should also develop such not-for-profit payment network system that can be used to pay efficiently digitally without making any side the victim.
Yeah I've harkened back to the good old days of webalizer, it's not that difficult to get a view of your demographics unless you want insanely detailed tracking crap or SEO details which are also crap and not needed unless you're a psychotic number cruncher (middle manager)
Thank you.

I would be interested in hearing more about what was done to correct the issue or any other tidbits you might know about improving albumin production. I have chronic edema from an incurable condition.
There is a difference between multidisptach (all/some arguments decide what is being applied) or contextual dispatch, where dynamic scope decides that.
Yes, unrealistic.

Those are 1.4MB floppies, meaning there are a little over twenty million bits that can be wrong. Most of them either don't matter or render the floppy unreadable, there are checksums for the rest. So you're really talking about ten million checksummed bits. That's not very much.
I do what the author mentions as the common retort to their approach: starting an Emacs daemon (server) at boot, and opening Emacsclient when needed. In general, I always have one frame open to do actual work on, but the client is still useful if I ever navigate with a file explorer or open things through the command line (all text extensions open in Emacs).

I'm not sure all the extra effort needed really does the trick - I don't think mine would start up 'fast enough' to beat running a daemon even if I deferred loading most of my config (which can lead to config issues at times).

That being said, I had a look at their dotfiles, and it seems really well organized. If such an effort makes you write a great config, it may be worth it regardless of whether you end up using the daemon or not!
To be fair, me and a bunch of other people are wondering why we still can’t pay ;) I’m perfectly happy with it and what I’d get for my $10-$20.

+1 for "insane".

I'm honestly baffled by all this context nonsense in Scala, React and now Kotlin. Twenty years ago, Spring (among others) showed us how to do proper wiring of separate elements in a clean way. Everything was simple and crystal clear (if a bit verbose). Programming became mostly additive (rather than multiplicative) in complexity and programs could easily be broken down to pieces easy to understand and implement.

And now we are back pass parameters to functions off-band like in the times of VB6? Seriously!?

Your browser does not support Web Assembly. Please upgrade your web browser. I recommend downloading Chrome.

Its the latest MS Edge, but a handy trick you might be interested in is to use detectable bugs to fingerprint a webbrowser. So Internet Explorer 6 might have a browser detectable javascript bug that 8 didnt have, or a bug might exist in IE but not firefox and if someone changed their browser agent ie firefox pretending to be IE, it was still possible to workout what the browser was and deliver code accordingly. :)

Of course some web browsers could be like looking at A Scanner Darkly character!
> The thing that killed the momentum then is the same thing that still kills it - card transaction fees.

If only there were some permissionless internet payments system that has near-zero fees and realtime settlement that works across borders and has frictionless setup.

The real problem is not the market or the technology, it's that the state wishes to surveil and ultimately exercise veto over all payments in society. Lightning payments solve this perfectly and could across the whole web but it's illegal in the US to "transmit money" without doing all sorts of market-killing, expensive customer intrusion and surveillance (and buying expensive licenses in every state).

There's nothing technically stopping a browser extension from letting you anonymously pay a penny per request or something in one click to pass a paywall. It's just the state's incessant hunger to want 100% transaction surveillance and veto.
I can recommend Plausible.
Semantic drift is a thing.

1. In my experience, this is only true for blank accounts where algorithm doesn't have much to go by. Not the case for me.

2. If you don't want to register a video, you can remove it from your watch history, or you can watch it anonymously. What about TikTok?

3. I know TikTok has a 10 minute limit now, I meant 40 minutes and up. Where in the world do 10 minutes count as "long"?
There's also a lot of work happening in the gaming space for economies and rewards in virtual worlds. Zebedee is one, but there are others.

Bitcoin with Lightning finally makes micro/nano-payments practical and it's going to flip the Internet economy on its head.
While I don't think this is comparable to the ordinary laptops, I am still glad this is present. Mainly because the tech is evolving and I can't wait for e-inks to have colorful displays with 1ms response time! This is one of the many pre-steps towards it.
> If it runs for example some kind of regular Linux distribution or Android it won't be very usable as they're just not designed for e-ink.

You've got to start from somewhere. Once you have hardware that can run regular Linux well enough, adapting the UX to e-paper screens ought to be comparatively easy. This is exactly how we got mobile-friendly Linux distributions after all.
The images in this case are copyright-expired (Crown copyright photographs taken before 1 July 1957 = copyright expired 50 years after creation).

Historic England have even stated explicitly "We're not claiming copyright in the RAF images":

https://twitter.com/HistoricEngland/status/15073771987470336...

(they actually were, but stopped doing so once I pointed out the facts to them.)

I know of two further sites where SmartFrame is being used to stop people "stealing" out-of-copyright images, and to label them as protected by copyright.

This is simply a land-grab, attempting to enclose the (digital) commons.

There's also the fact that, for images that do remain in copyright, there are exceptions in law allowing reuse for study, review, parody etc.

While I think this was a good read, I do not like the mingling of scientific reasoning and esoteric thinking in some places. A scientist tripping on a drug has an idea for an experiment and puts it as the plant told her which is then taken as an argument for intelligence in other things than animals. Not a good argument.

That would be justifiable if the risk was proportional to the cost. Frequently it just isn't.

As a case in point, if "when, 3-5 people leave, it's almost barely noticeable an event" then you've almost certainly over-compensated for the general case. Why? Because the entire set of people who know anything about a given project simultaneously leaving should be incredibly rare. If that's your benchmark event probability, and your risk mitigation costs are linear in the risk probability (which they probably are, by vague handwavy analogy to finance thinking), then you're constantly bearing costs that aren't justified by the downsides you're likely to encounter unless the specific project in question is company-breakingly critical.

If an entire dev team up and leaving isn't a rare event, you've got deeper problems.

If I understand correctly, WebAudioModules is itself such an API, a proposed standard.

I'd love to use this for programming, or writing. It being both eink and x86 is pretty unique.

Though there are alternatives I'm looking at, like an android eink tablet with a bluetooth keyboard, which has the advantage of portability.

I'd mostly work through Mosh either way, so the x86 vs arm doesn't matter that much.
i actually wondered about the effect it would have.

good idea to only do it after discussion is closed.
For those of us not dns experts-- are you planning to add more details on how to get started?
I don't know how to check, maybe someone was cleaning tickets older than 3-4 months. But, the status is 'resolved' (again, not sure who can set this), but there has been no communication from AWS since. I just checked now, the issue either was fixed by us dumping less data or by AWS.

However, the SLAs that I can see are 'initial response', which for better or worse, sometimes happen. However, the most egregious example of how broken that model is, we had a business critical system down ticket down that got an answer of 'looking into it' in 19 minutes, then ~1:45 an answer of "oh, yeah, I checked and this and this DB you talked about didn't reboot", which was true, the person that made the ticket pointed out the wrong instance. 3 hours after I point the correct DB we get told, yes, you are right, it rebooted. And then on the 1st of April I ask for a timeline of how the writer/reader nodes changed during the reboot, I get an answer on the 20th, even though we pushed in the ticket and through our TAM for an answer.

Generally, I'm not really sure how people are so happy with AWS support, every issue that is even the least bit complicated gets wrong answers (took a month for us to convince people, though meetings with our TAM, that it's not a configuration or capacity issue that's causing some issues) or just sits there for ages. Once we got an engineer on the Aurora team assigned to the case I used as an example, we started making progress, we even got a patched version of PostgreSQL RDS deployed, but once the bug was identified, we had to work around it, since a fixed version was not an option in less than a few months.

All in all, for the hundreds of thousands of dollars we're spending a month on support, I have a feeling that when we need it, we're kind of alone.
Ugh, my brain...
