I love self-checkout and will do it every time it's available. Self-checkout was always a stupid idea.

1) We can barely train employees to operate POS machines consistently, without mistakes and frequent interventions by roving managers. Now every customer is supposed to learn your awful, shifting UI. Critiques of specific UI mistakes miss the forest for the trees - if they were going to be perfected, they would already have been; we've been trying to teach 16 year olds to use them for decades. Maybe it would work if all grocers settled on a single UI, never changed it, and everybody got a couple of hours of instruction and a quiz devoted to it in school.

2) Part of what cashiers do is block the exit doors so you can't just walk out with things.
What the manufacturer designed these for is irrelevant, you asked if it was the one I meant and I indicated how its different.

D-locks are inferior to guarded bike sheds so presumably we can rule out all other bike stands as failures as well? You're free to prefer one option over another but if you bring a less versatile lock for your bike you're going to have more difficulty securing it and your trade-offs aren't the same as everyone else's.

For what it's worth I've never seen or heard someone get a wheel damaged by these bike stands. I'm kind of curious if it's even realistically possible, any realistic amount of force isn't going to do much more than stretch a few spokes (in most cases temporarily).
John Hooper is also the Italian correspondent for The Economist.

Now I feel a bit nostalgic for life in Italy after reading that. So many beautiful places, and a lot of very interesting people.
Competition and funding for non chromium initiatives.

If someoone had asked the same question before chrome would you have agreed with them?
What if someone gets laid off during this freeze? How long is “short term”?
One of my local grocery stores actually properly staffed the checkout. I virtually never have to wait in line more than for one other person. Needless to say they are always my first choice.
I find it interesting that Kroger is high paranoia (weigh everything, etc.) and Walmart is low (scan what you like). Just given these comments about higher and lower trust areas.

Publix, of course, has human checkout.
(scans alcohol-free wine)

(has to wait five minutes for a member of staff to appear to “Age verify”)
UK Asda (owned by Walmart) does something similar - I can open the app on my phone, scan items using the camera, and just pay at the checkout by scanning a QR code the app generates.

Sometimes I might get randomly selected for a manual review by a staff member. But in general it's like they are interested in selling more than stoping thieves
I have been using home assistance for a few years now, having migrated from the SmartThings eco system.

Over all I am happy with it, but it is increasingly harder to find devices that are not cloud encumbered, even some things that have integrations with HA are basically HA interacting with the OEM cloud API, which not local control.

I prefer zigbee, but I fear the migration from Zigbee to "Matter" is going in the wrong direction, as Amazon and Google are really pushing cloud based control over Local Control...
I don’t like this essay. Agree with the author that current state is not great don’t agree with her suggestion of not trying to do good in the world and just enjoy yourself.
These videos are nice but unless you are Ian Pooley who has spent decades working with his, it's probably going to be a bad idea for someone to buy this and expect that they're going to be making sick beatz like him.
Because of how both the electoral college works and gerrymandering, the elected officials don’t represent the majority.

Besides, private companies don’t have the force of law to force people to do anything.

Giving the government more power over your freedom is never the answer.
I’m the same—I have several smart lights, but I can control them all through Google Home—but found a use for it this past winter. In my living room I have a Big Ass Fans Haiku fan, and the signal for volume up on my soundbar is the same as speed down on the fan. I don’t know how companies decide on IR remote signals, but I’ve never had this happen before.

It really annoys me when I turn up the volume and my fan turns off, especially in winter when I want it on to stir up the air. So I set up an automation to check the fan setting and if it is off, turn it on.

So far I haven’t really figured out what else to do with it.
The source you cited doesn't mention trains or planes at any point.
Every day staples like browsing history, middle click / control click a link to open in new tab, back function, forward function, bookmarkability of specific "subpages" (in quotes, because SPA) are the first things to fly over board in 90% or more of SPAs, which do not have to be SPAs in the first place. Then developers either ignore all of those things, living with the illusion, that this is not impacting UX, or they have to introduce even more dependencies, that aim to fix those very basic things, which by default are broken.

This is one of the main criticism I have for SPA. If you go SPA, it is your responsibility, to make it work at least as well as a traditional website.

The other criticism is, that I expect to at least have a noscript block, telling me about a website not working without JS. And not some nonsense about my browser not being supported. No, it should admit, that the website was created in a way, that does not work without JS. It should be honest. But that is often too low level for SPA frameworks, so that the devs of the website cannot be a*ed to build that into their SPA. They throw around "web components" (actually react components, or any other framework components, because often you cannot copy paste them into another framework, which is not based on the framework, you implemented them for, because they are not standardized), but are unable to include a simple noscript tag.

Basically most SPAs introduce JS as a must have dependency, but if I allow it to run on the page, I first have to trust some random code, and I will have opted into high CPU loads for things I do not need. How often I have experienced 100% of a core being used just by scrolling or for some silly animation no one needed or some hover effect. No one is testing these sites properly or speaks up in those organizations about the unprofessionalism that are apparent in the resulting websites.

Some websites manage to get it right and to make everything work, probably, but usually I just close the tab, when again I only see a white screen with nothing on the page, instead of going through the pain of allowing their 10 CDNs to actually make it work, so I am not so likely to see that SPA, which does everything right and allows me to use an SPA like any normal website.
I hate the stupid voice more than the actual errors which at least have plausible deniability as theft deterrence. The idle screen should have a big "fuck off and don't scream at me" button you can press before starting to immediately disable that at the start of the session (most have a tiny volume button but it just cycles through the levels so you have to press several times and go through louder levels before muting it).

Also, I wish it would display the actual (total) weight vs expected. If it's off by 1g I know it's just a measuring error and bumping the scale will fix it - if it's off by 100g I know I need to look further and there might actually be an unexpected item.
Can air traffic controllers take away my freedom and my rights?
With electricity prices being what they are right now, a Raspi using <5W is fantastic for me.
This isn't a counter point to organic agriculture but against idiotic policies.

Everybody who has even a passing knowledge of the subject knows that yields drop in the first few years. Especially when the necessary knowledge about local resistant varieties, supporting crops, natural ways to deal with pests were lost over the years.

Just reading the setup it was clear what would happen. It was like blindfolding a formula 1 driver and telling him to go full speed. The crash would not be a surprise. I would have been stunned had it worked.

Let me provide a more scientific counter point regarding yields comparing different types of agriculture [0].

You'd think thats thr job of the router companies - they sell you hex-core routers for $390 or whatecer, but no usefull functionality
Here's a nitpick: It's key/value store, not key-value store.

A key-value store would only store "key values."
Sure. Until the MBA-ification made sure everything runs as lean as possible… and then everyone wonders where supply chain issues are getting worse.
So how many transistors ( or GATES? ) that 10mm^2 is at 130nm?
Not such a bad idea, actually. Much of physics owes chemistry a lot. I find General Chemistry by Pauling a sort of a good book on physics (which has led to some complaints by chem students).
We do have these architectures already in the embedded space and as DSPs. I suppose, they would be interesting for supercomputers as well. But for general purpose CPUs they would be a difficult sell. Since the memory size and latency would be part of the ISA, binaries could not run unchanged on different memory configurations, you would need another software layer to take care of that. Context switching and memory mapping would also need some rethinking. Of course, all of this can be solved, but it would make adoption more difficult.

And last not least, unknown memory latency is not the only source of problems, branch (mis)predictions are another. And they have the same remedies as cache misses: multithreading and speculative execution.

So if you wanted to get rid of branch prediction as well, you could come up with something like the CRAY-1.
> What would be the benefit of having a browser with a new web engine?

This is the right question. The answer is probably what you're thinking: Absolutely nothing. It'd be a giant waste of time to spend 5 years rebuilding plumbing instead of focusing on where one can actually differentiate.
Then how do other countries get to a reliable service? Japan, Switzerland, France…
I think that is the point Peter Cordes is trying to make (quite politely but firmly) over there on stackoverflow. It's not only about autovectorization. The main point there is the loop-carried dependency that prevents both the compiler (autovec) and the processor (ILP) to do their thing.

Loop-carried dependency is the big culprit here. I wish we had a culture of writing for loops with the index a constant inside the loop, as in the Ada for statement, and not the clever C while loops or for with two running variables... Simpler loop syntax makes so many static analyses 'easier' and kind of forces the brain to think in bounded independant steps, or to reach for higher level constructs (e.g. reduce).
My roommate's hamster had a porn addiction in his teens. That hamster really learned how to use a search engine.

Some notes I found scribbled in his cage:

1. Never use the onsite search function. It's broken, undocumented, limited. Use google or ddg with 'site:...'

2. Learn all the search operators like intitle, inurl, etc.

3. Try different search engines. Sometimes one engine happens not to have indexed what you're looking for yet

4. Search for the text in UI elements of websites. E.g if you'm looking for a movie made in a particular year, go to IMDB and look at the part of a movie page that says the year, then search for that particular string like this: 'site:imdb.com "Made in: 1996"' you can turn almost any recurring element of a website into a tag this way.

5. Most of the above tips work best if you have a specific site to search use 'site:...' So, divide and conquer. Find the site(s) that will probably contain what you want and only then search for the thing.
I tried setting up HA once on non-docker and it was pretty awful. It has it's own internal dependency management thingy that auto downloads stuff it needs into it's virtual environment.

Much as I love to use standard off the shelf stuff and eliminate original code from my life, my custom automation system has been the one thing I can't find a replacement for, and I don't really expect that to change.
> The same hold true for most IT projects.

Definitely not my experience. Even if you say choose Spring Boot the architecture and somewhat lower level constantly change.
Bitmain are using the latest process nodes for their ASICs.
OP doesn't even meet the bar for toilet reading, I mean I would rather re-read the laundry detergent label.
This last part is the telling part. Many stores these days have permanent security staff at the exit - for what we assume is just this issue.

And no master how much you save by getting rid of cashiers and replacing shelf stackers, if there was no staff in the store at all, we would not call it looting, just high energy shopping
Interesting note but that seems to be recency bias with news than anything concrete. Companies from MongoDB to Snowflake to FaunaDB have been successful. Manish himself is from DGraph which is a brand new graph database with no relational to Postgres.
Regulation.

If we're producing and consuming things that are found to be dangerous, we should regulate/ban and force quality improvements.
This isn't a question of a sufficiently long lock cable?
Well, except the obvious example of the time for which nobody seems to seriously want to move from base 60.

I was contemplating this the other day. We coders often bang on about the joy of base 16 as pure 2s but what makes 60 so useful is it has so many factors: 2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30. It means you rarely need to split a minute when you’re dividing up time for everyday use.
I'm not sure if there are existing rules for it, but you could write a CodeQL query looking for data dependencies in loops. Obviously dependencies are sometimes required, but it at least could tell your they were there.
That would probably depend on the the cache hit/miss ratio.
If Linus didn't bother to clarify the reason that must have been a pretty bad video.

It looks like the Octacapture may be supported if you set the sample rate to 44.1 kHz.

Output audio transformers would only be required if it also had a tube power amplification section, but it seems it was never advertised as being 100% tube anyway.

It would also need 4 output power tubes for Stereo Class-AB operation, plus a couple of triodes for the inverter, so I don't think there's enough room there for it. If it were Class-A it would probably need much bigger tubes to deliver the wattage it promises, and there doesn't seem to be much space in the box.

The webapps you have used are slow.

This generalization is changing and will continue to change the better Apple/iOS treat PWAs.
Are there solutions that allow you to do this for more than 1 server?

I‘d like to be able to choose one of the servers in the rack to access and not buy & manage one of these devices for every server.
FoundationDB does interactive transactions.
It obvious possible to run diesel with out DEF.

And you “can” remove the def systems and cats.

But the real story is that all diesels on the road now use DEF/EGR systems and that isn’t going to change because of a shortage.
The UI shown in the screenshot is radically different.
You're right, I haven't. My PC runs something else.
> I think the point is that if there's a urea shortage, good governments would waive the DEF requirement until it ends,

Automotive EE here, this will ABSOLUTELY NOT happen.
Exactly! It's a Pi Zero / Pi CM kind of µarch at Pi CM clock speed and performance and (roughly) price.

This 1.0 GHz single-issue in-order CPU gets 37% of the performance of a 3-wide PowerPC G4 at 1.5 GHz (I think he probably means 1.42 GHz).

That seems like a pretty good result to me. At equal clock speeds it would be about 50% the speed.

He also says SiFive's U74 dual-issue in-order "gets by the G5, but by less than you'd think". The actual figure isn't given, and I think he still means G4 there, but that's also pretty good given the much simple µarch and similar clock speed.

And it's 270x faster than the 68030, at only 40 times the clock speed. I remember when I had a IIcx (my first personally-owned computer) and lusted after a cache-card equipped IIci. L2 cache card that is, the 68030 having L1 cache built into the chip.

The D1 isn't a powerhouse. We know that. Treat it like a Pi Zero and you'll be happy. Much faster things are on the way.
The great thing about learning more languages is that you tend to gain new skills to take back to your old projects. This is especially true for languages meaningfully different than those you know.

The same can be true of frameworks, databases and other tools.
> Besides, private companies don’t have the force of law to force people to do anything.

As more and more consolidation happens I'm not so sure this is still true. If all grocery stores become zero-human Amazon markets and their AI decides your long forgotten, hobby EC2 instance is past due then can you buy food?

Elections in the US need reformed, no doubt. And governments have a monopoly on legal violence. The answer isn't to keep handing the keys to the government over to whomever/whatever has the most money.
Many cities will install these in front of businesses for free! The business owner just has to submit an application, and local bike lobby is paid to install it!
> Baby formula isn't some magical combination of ingredients. And I get it, authorities are wary to recommend recipes because of the risk of people fucking it up. But when people are out of options they'll likely make worse decisions, like watering down formula.

There was a large drop in infant mortality in the US about the time commercial baby formula caught on. Draw your own conclusions.
I use Shelly relays installed behind all my switches to automate every single light in the house: https://shelly.cloud. As a perk you retain the functionality of the existing light switch.

They are reasonably priced, are built with local control as the primary feature and there's not even a hint of Silicon Valley/VC/"growth & engagement" smell.
One key point is that the XML do not need to be stored as files on the server. They can be generated at request time by turning database queries into XML responses using your favorite server-side language. The XSLT can be hosted as static files on the webserver.
>>note taking or chat apps need several hundreds of megabytes of RAM to run.

I have a fairly big app and while I'm not sure how to measure that I ran "about:memory" in Firefox and added up everything I saw for the app and it came out to be about 30mb.

My Mac's Finder says the directory with all the code is 9.9 MB.

That app is plenty fast, even on my old late `09 Mac Mini Mac running 10.11.6 with just 4gb ram.

I'm not sure. I'll have to research those options. I know there are at least browser plug-ins that will record from multiple tabs simultaneously, and will even mute the audio so it's not playing over the speakers. I'm not sure what they're using though.

Most musical hardware being closed is a feature. It's what gives the "it just works" quality.

Computer software can be open, and why it's difficult relying on a computer during a live performance, you never know when some weird incompatibility might occur.

If musical hardware were open, people would install random stuff from GitHub on them, and then complain to the hardware maker that it crashed during a performance.

Also, you can buy MIDI controllers if you are into open, you are not locked into anything.
Imagine the following changes each tick:

1: x = 1
2: x = 2
3: x = 3, y = 5
4: x = 4
5: x = 5
6: x = 6
7: x = 7, y = 1

Diff from 2 to 4 would be "x = 4, y = 5".

Diff from 3 to 6 is "x = 6", which will always be correct to apply as long as client is already on ticks 3~6. But if you apply at tick 2, you lose that "y = 5" part. This can't happen in a bug-free code because the server will only send diffs from the latest ticks it knows for sure the client has (because the client sends acks)
TOTALLY DISAGREE..

The MPC 3000 is not even a drum machine, and also for me, its the MPC2000XL or MPC60, colors sound much better, but if I want an MPC sampler that is STERILE like the 3000 I much prefer the MPC1000 (2nd generation without the pad issues) with jj os.

I get people found out about J Dilla (mostly after he died), and he was a cool producer but the best tracks were made with the 2000s/60s and SP-12s. But in the mid 2000s when j dilla died I feel like the MPC community got PERVERTED by 'Dilla Fans' who found out about MPC's because of him, and changed the course of things quite a bit

The rack mounted Akai stuff was better. I remember people bitching about the MPC3000 for more than a decade on gearslutz(sorry, i know we cant call it that anymore). But because J Dilla used it now its THE BEST OF ALL TIME. No way!
All good but the idrac comparison is a little faulty. I purchase used dell 630/730/830s often. Idrac card used is around $20-50 max. Used servers are around $200 including idrac...
I know that also. Not great not terrible. Still couldn't clarify the thing.
I dont think it was the most famous
Yeah just different experiences I suppose. Although I guess I can't really think of any classes I took that had simple multiple choice assignments. But yeah, my math and science classes had graded take home assignments with quantitative exercises and it was normal (encouraged, even) to work on them in groups. And yeah, there tended to be some free loaders, who I guess I wouldn't debate were "cheating", but I didn't and honestly still don't think it was such a big deal. Even those sometime free loaders learned a lot of stuff and went on to be successful members of society. It would have been pretty stupid to kick them out of school for it. Maybe these are unpopular opinions, I dunno, but I just kind of see this whole concern as misplaced.

I do agree that cheating on exams would be bad. Maybe my perspective comes from not really thinking graded homework is that great of an idea to begin with.
The death of the sit-up
Its a sampler, not a drum machine
