Equipment is designed around the users thereof.

Roads, are designed for the main users - people, driving. So self-driving cars have to cope with that. But we'll soon get to the point where some road markings / signs are changed around to make them more obvious to self-driving cars, in order to avert rare but costly accidents. The point to watch out for is when the self-driving cars are the primary users, and the needs of human drivers start to fall away as not important any more.

Domestic furniture will continue to be designed for both accepting the human posterior and for interacting well with domestic automation.
Kubernetes Ephemeral Containers and `kubectl debug` Command
I had so many issues on RPi. Got an odroid instead and now it's running with no hassles off eMMC.

SD card was probably a major reason, but i didn’t want yet another thing hanging off a usb port.
My point is that buying smart actually means you get more for less. People buy the easy stuff which tends to be priced accordingly.
Why dry your clothes for free and zero carbon footprint, when you can dry them with paid energy and shorten their lifespan in the process
YMMV, but around here jammers are illegal, full stop. I suppose one could put their appliances in a faraday cage or wrap them in tin foil…
some people retired a year or two early and didn’t plan on re entering the work force. especially since asset prices ballooned allowing them to do so.

i think driving down asset prices and raising wages and lowered unemployment benefits will hopefully reverse some of that
One reason is that it compensates lower temperature with longer wash time and uses airflow instead of heating to dry. Both are measures to reduce the environmental impact.

The same is true for energy efficient washing machines by the way, they often do not reach the temperature a program states and compensate with longer washing times. This may be problematic for hygienic reasons at times but has a noticeable impact on energy use.
Coding Standards and Naming Conventions
On the other hand GaN is much more tolerant of hight temperatures than regular resistors, so who knows which way the balance would fall?

Of course GaN is a much newer technology too so I imagine it'd have some serious catching up to do before it gets to the scales where it'd be useful for CPUs.
> Do you really want that level of government control over everything?

Absolutely not. But I also don't want that level of company control over everything. I think "government punishing companies" is a much better alternative to "companies punishing people".

> Or, a soldering iron.

In this case, the wireless card could be just detached physically. But what happens when e.g. device requires network access to work, but also has some malicious feature? What if the malicious feature is baked in the hardware, e.g. DRM? Do we just pull out an electron microscope and a disassembler?

Whoa! For comparison, my ~2010 dishwasher here in Australia still only takes 45 minutes to wash a load of dishes.
Maybe the issue isn't that repairing costs a lot, but rather than replacing it too cheap.
Taiwan is worried about the security of its chip industry
Vendors have no incentive to provide any security updates after original purchase. Even assuming the original code was solid and had no known security flaws (this isn't the case, hardware vendors wrote godawful code full of holes), anything in the future makes it an easily exploitable vector into my home network.

These apps often require ridiculous invasions of privacy - refusing to work if you don't give them full access to location, running in the background, etc. - and work poorly at best.

In 30+ years of using computers, I thought that printer companies were my go-to standard for truly hideous software, but appliances are pushing the bar even lower. If my company interviewed a candidate from one of them who didn't proactively state that they formally protested the shipping of their software, I would in most cases refuse to hire them.
You're talking about the best case, but we need to take the reasonable worst cases into account, where x + y nearly cancel etc.

Worked for me with KL flight numbers, but only a few and they were all enroute to or from the US at the time of searching. So that may have something to do with it?

Edit: KL605 to SFO worked while typing (it's in the air now), KL1125 to Copenhagen did not work while typing but did show up after pressing search (it's in the air now). Similar for KL713 to Paramaribo worked after pressing search, while it's still on the ground.
VC normally looks for deals like “stock that gets treated like a pseudo creditor”, so even if a company fails, they’ll break even. Also a seat on the board.

VC really makes its money work for it.

At some point, yes. Washing machines use a lot of power and water, and any savings on those will eventually earn themselves back.

Where exactly that point is, I don't know. I'm generally in favour of repairing old devices, but from what I understand, washing machines have a limited lifespan, and a lot has been improved about their efficiency in the past 20 years.
I'm pretty sure your dishwasher has a fast program, I know mine does. Default is 3.5h, the fast program will only take 90 minutes, but of course use a fair amount more electricity since it has to heat the water to a higher temperature.

Solution: physically disconnect WiFi.
The US government accepted AT&T’s natural monopoly of telephone communications (this is the Kingsbury Commitment of 1913 mentioned in the link you provide) in exchange for their divestment of their control of other forms of telecommunication—namely telegraph communications via their controlling interest in Western Union—which was the other major important telecommunication technology at the time in the early 20th century. I can only imagine what things might be like if AT&T was allowed to keep an unchallenged natural monopoly over all forms of telecommunication and further allowed to hold that monopoly to the present day.
> So what’s the solution then? Well, maybe we should start by rolling back this common conception that when it comes to schools, everyone’s opinion matters an equal amount, and then listen to the teachers and academics.

Yes, because they've proved they know things by passing through the system and getting good grades. Oh wait...

Sorry for the joke, but seriously, you can't expect us civilians to shut up. Leaving education to educators is as pernicious as leaving law just to lawyers, or journalism just to journalists. In all cases, the outcomes are everyone's business, and because there are real conflicts of interest here (and not just disagreement on facts) it can't just be delegated to experts. Even calling for it will make people rightly suspicious of your agenda.

Unlike with law or journalism though, pretty much everyone has A LOT of experience with the educational system in practice, by being on the receiving end of it for 12+ years. There's a challenge with sharing our experiences in a fruitful way and not just shouting over each other, sure, but suck it up: we have opinions about what education should be and can be, and we won't shut up and leave it to you.
For a long time it felt like Pixar was doing better stories than Disney and honestly I feel like Disney animation slowly started catching up with Pixar stories when John Lasseter was put in charge.

From your description you’d expect Disney studio to produce better stories.
What's a good live distro for a well-integrated KDE experience? I haven't used it for years but want to see how it is these days. I used to love the way the core-ish apps seemed to work together in concert.
Modern dishwashers can run anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the program chosen. I like choice, personally.
The author is Adrian Tschaikovsky and has lots of great works out there :)
Ha, I can't even find a pair of trousers with a given size in a nearby shop using a Google search.
Why would you want to go out of your way to send bogus data to the manufacturer?

I'm all for being able to choose whether or not to disclose that data, but then we'll also have to accept different choices than ours. There's no point in sabotaging others.
> Same with dishwashers. With the looming water crisis ahead, every drop of savings is a plus.

There's a lot to be said with focusing on the right outcomes. We should do everything we can to reduce unnecessary waste and inputs. But, we also need to embrace water reclamation, water recycling. We currently reclaim ~86% of the water in my country. It's not great - but it's a good place to start.
Somehow I doubt the large OLED panel in my TV is cheaper than its little stand.
> The only thing that maintains the value of any asset (or currency) is the collective belief in that asset or currency.

The only thing that maintains the value of any asset is the demand for it.

Where that demand comes from may or may not be belief.

Water has value because there is a clear demand for it, not because anyone believes in it.

As long as there is someone who wants an asset, it has value. Belief is but a cog in the machine.
A couple of dods of foam pipe insulation would have done the job even better, and made a non-slip non-scratch foot for it too.
What would I change?

I would like them not to promote a dangerous and deeply flawed product, or at least be transparent about it.
I think also, the idea that once you buy something in one configuration, it's a finished product that you can't change or improve afterwards.
In case VR you are right, but AR, with current state of software might be good for navigation only. Later on, every physical thing can have its own augmentation, GUI, either by something like QR code or Bluetooth. In a bus stop you could buy a ticket not by using dedicated point of sale device but by using augmentation software in glasses. Posters could change into trailers etc.
I'm not sure I know enough to have a credible opinion about his underlying thesis, but it seems to me this article is wrong in lots of specific details:

1. "Stablecoin insurers" (in the author's terminology) are not short puts on the stablecoin, because noone has a specific right to force them to buy the stablecoin. Their position (as I understand it) is much more akin to some sort of swap where they pay/receive the difference between the stablecoin and the volcoin

2. Since it's a swap, then their position has 1 delta, so they don't "delta hedge". They need to make good losses on the stablecoin (and collect profits in good times)

3. There is no expiry so they are not long theta. They are collecting carry on the swap
I stopped using the default "eco" program and switched to the faster "auto" program on my dishwasher since watching this video on how these programs actually work:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04

TLDwatch: eco programs use only one batch of water, others use two and that results in cleaner dishes with the added benefit of a faster program.
Has anyone tried this and can compare it to Öffi? It's one of the best Android apps I use: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.schildbach.oeffi/
Anecdotal. My new life of biking to work ended on day 1: bike stolen in less than 1 hour. And it was from a Sheffield stand too
Thoughts on a new 3D DCC app?
I'm wondering what a next-generation 3D DCC system might look like. How it might differentiate itself from the Maya/Houdini/Blender apps out there.

GIT: A Generative Image-to-Text Transformer for Vision and Language
It may be the case that I wasn't being entirely serious.
I really like the idea, but watching some demos at the bottom of the page, I did not like the generated voices. They are unpleasant to hear, and I constantly compare them to crappy YouTube tutorial that have similar TTS voices.
Heh, good point. It’s still a silly language-wars comment, but it makes more sense.
CogVideo: Large-Scale Pretraining for Text-to-Video Generation via Transformers
For me the solution were simple clothespins.
Frankly, any? I used KDE Neon, Fedora, Opensuse and now Debian. They all give you access to the KDE apps suite. I don't know what you mean with integration really, it's a matter of using their apps (or not, I still use Firefox for example).
Praise indeed! I don't even try to park my bike at those "spokebreaker" low stands that you put your wheel into, they might as well not exist. Those are the stands that people who don't use a bike think bikers want. I didn't know this inverted U design was called a "Sheffield stand", but this works very well.
This is what works for me too - feeling relief that robot managed to collect all this dust I didn't even knew was there. And that's every single day! Totally worth those ~5 minutes collecting stuff all over the place.
> But we were talking about how the == operator compares zeros

Well, you were and I wasn't, and it wasn't clear whether you meant to contradict my point. I guess I could've made it more clear that I meant "using == to denote bitwise equality here only" and not "btw, == is bitwise for floats", but either way it should be clear now.
I’m having a similar debate about a diesel car. A battery-electric replacement would have lower environmental opex but at a huge environmental capex compared to just keeping my already-manufactured diesel.
Innings are limited by both time and number (2 maximum each, but could technically be zero for one side), but I'm pretty sure overs are limited only by time.
It's called WPS. God knows why manufacturers prefer to do something as iduotic as crearing their own WiFi access point rather than using it!
The solution is not "enterprisey" and using "clean code" until it uses at least 20 design patterns. Uncle Bob would not like it!
There was a very nice software called studio1 (defunct now i think) which allowed you to write phantomjs scripts (using a chrome extension) to create how to videos like this.

So instead of an image slideshow it was a very smooth video where it looked as if it was an actual screen recording and much easier to follow. Might be worth investigating as a feature upgrade, since that site shutdown.
I recommend OpenSUSE Tumbleweed since it's a sane and tested rolling release without the blood, so you get the latest KDE updates with the latest kernel and packages.

I wouldn't recommend Kubuntu or KDE Neon, as the latest KDE releases are developed on the latest kernel, so, using it on Ubuntu based distros with old kernel and old packages might not be the best experience for the latest KDE releases or even cause issues.

Anecdotally, KDE also runs better on Tumbleweed than on Fedora for me.

Also, maybe give Gecko Linux a try, it's a sane, noob friendly, batteries included version of Tumbleweed, with Nvidia drivers and proprietary codecs out of the box, along with a default to X11 because the author doesn't consider Wayland ready for prime time. Just make sure to do a sudo zypper dup after installation to update the OS and packages since the packages on the ISOs are out of date as the ISOs are updated about twice a year, which is not ideal for a rolling distro but to be fair, the whole Gecko "operation" is run for free by one guy so this is understandable.
Lmgtfy - oh no you can't!

Unless you meant a ROM manager.
> But doesn't this have the risk, that I change some property on the first window, without realising the second window is using the first as its prototype – and while that property change is beneficial for the first window, it is detrimental to the second?

As I recall in Self, the two objects are independent of each other aside from the second being derived from the first upon its creation. Meaning changing one does not affect the other.

"But what if you want to change something about both windows, or all windows derived from a prototype?" you might say. "You would have to change them all manually, for every single affected window!" To which I say the Self developers apparently thought the rigidity of class hierarchy and the fragile base class problem were bigger problems than the unergonomic nature of making sweeping changes across an entire set of derived objects.

Class-based object systems present shortcomings because you cannot accurately predict a class hierarchy that will solve your problem especially if it is unknown. Even in a language as flexible as Smalltalk, class-hierarchy decisions made before a problem was fully characterized impeded the programmers' ability to fit a solution to the problem. OO developers have learned to accept these shortcomings, and the extra work it takes to work around them. Self is an experiment in eliminating these problems, and it just presents a different set of tradeoffs.
I'm not saying none of those things are factors. I am saying that you can find quotes of executives talking about how great it is to raise prices right now. And plenty of evidence of profit increases substantially above inflation.
Let's consider the "wheel-grabber" stands, anything that you put a wheel into. If you have a bike with a high center of gravity (think a city bike with a crate, an E-bike, or any bike with a child seat), you are guaranteed to at least bend your spokes.
Analogy: tweets are more palatable than novels.
Having travel a few times TGV trains across france, while connecting to Switzerland, Belgium and Germany, I wouldn't consider them much better than German ones.

I still have a good story from a TGV travel from Paris back to Geneva that took the double of the time, partial return travel back to Paris, again reversed mid-way back to Geneva, being blocked on a trainstation on the middle of nowhere waiting for restaurant wagon supplies trying to calm down everyone, and finally arriving into Geneva several hours later than expected.

I cut lots of details on that reliable train trip.
Probably KDE Neon [1]: this is Ubuntu with updated KDE maintained by the KDE Team.

I use openSUSE Tumbleweed where KDE is up to date and well integrated (I really recommend Tumbleweed for a good KDE experience), I see that they have a live image they call JeOS ("We also have JeOS, Live images. Check out Alternative Downloads!") [2], I haven't tried the live image but it's probably very good.

Vertical tabs was in Opera when it was good, it was probably there a decade ago. Its spiritual successor Vivaldi also has this.
I bought one. The build is actually really good. The bezels are there for easy access for opening (no screws). The thermal printer is just a Retro gimmick which is the whole theme of the devterm. I disagree with LazyDev about the build, it's actually very good IMO, and fun to build.

It basically runs linux but I don't like it too much mainly because the UI isn't suited for the keyboard and the little mouse roller (which is terrible). A form factor like this really needs an entire GUI targetted specifically for it, instead this uses XFCE.

I would say if someone made a GUI specifically targetting the DevTerm it would be great. If you exclusively use a mouseless interface then I would say this is actually quite good in the sense that it's this portable retro thing you can bring to places. But compared to say a small linux ultrabook, the ultrabook is lightyears ahead of this.

Only get this if you want something with retro vibes.
Career hedge fund trader here: this is nonsense. Of course HFs are tax optimized but saying they are not investment vehicles doesn’t even align with your view. If they aren’t true investment vehicles which generate profits, then there is nothing to protect from taxes…

Your premise is based on funds making a lot of money, which they want to shield from taxes. How do you think they make money? (Caveat: most HFs underperform, but that’s a different issue entirely)
The marketroids are the ones that make devs think that, yes, but whichever way they get it, the devs end up with that exaggerated impression. Affects FOSS devs too; they can't make themselves selectively deaf only to marketroid-speak. Well, I guess in part one can, but given how pervasive it is throughout the industry, not entirely.
Two ways.

1) Set up a pihole or ad guard or similar and block the requests the device makes. You can probably find someones list or it may already be in the default one.

2) Put all the IOT's devices into a virtual wifi lan that doesn't by default doesn't allow internet access. Then only add in the few places you want them to be able to get to. In general putting IOT devices on a network separate from your real computers is a good idea for isolation anyway since they are likely to have poor security.
Thank you! It looks great!
Just to understand the plans, p. example in "Plus" are you limiting the number of projects per month to 10 with each having a maximum of 10 minutes?
So, with 10$ in a month I can create a maximum of 10 videos where each cannot have more than 10 minutes?
In the following month can I create another new 10 videos?
Do I fully own the copyrights of the generated videos? To publish them anywhere?
I completely agree with this. My immediate advice because this tool is definitely more likely to be used by more people who aren't programmers, focus on quality. These types of users will have a higher bar for quality in this specific aspect. But also right now the quality of the TTS voices is too low in general imo.

Less technical users get more frustrated when their tooling can't produce things that meet their expectations. And moreso in my experience because they don't have the skillset in order to modify their tooling so it can meet their expectations.
What are CORS proxies, and when are they safe?
It did not really work like that in the Netherlands: in Napoleonic times the 'pond' was officially redefined to be 1kg, but that clearly didn't stick, as described above. An 'ons' of 1/16th of a 'pond' (as described in your linked article) was used in pre-metric times, but the official Dutch metric system[0] of 1820 did not allow them. The 'ons' we use informally now is exactly 100g. That's the thing about traditional measures: they are entirely different when you move a few 100km.

For 19-24, I assume many of them are just not working and subsisting off of their parents incomes.

As for the rest, there are many ways individuals can get by. They can sustain themselves via their partner, get funds from friends and family, participate in underground workplaces, and last but not least, receive income from disability or other social services.

It is worth noting that numbers are falling about twice as fact for men as women. This could be related to the fact that two women now go to college for every one man.
Perception I expect. Discord is likely popular with gamers and crypto bros.

In college, viva-voce is a significant part of non-theory exams. It’s another matter it was not run well by many colleges but I always loved those chit chat sessions with some of the good professors. Some professors treat it like a boring Q&A which reduces its effectiveness.
