This strategy of not focusing on growth is key to my interests. For example, I’ve been a customer of Fastmail since they launched maybe 20 years ago. And I’ve got my family and many colleagues using Fastmail. It is a paid email service.

Could I use any of the “free” email services like GMail (or back in the day, Yahoo)? Of course. But Fastmail does one thing and they do it well, and I don’t have to worry about them analyzing my emails and selling ads to me. I am willing to pay for that.

Please stay focused. I just tried Kagi today and I’m incredibly surprised at how fantastic the search results are. I never thought I would pay for a search engine but here I am.
If I had a landline in my house and went through all the trouble to install an obvious phone like a payphone (well, obvious to older people), I'd definitely want it to be able to call out to 911. When calling from a landline, you're 100% sure that EMS has your correct address (well, assuming that you set up your address correctly when you ordered your ISP service).
Only if compatibility means "at least some functionality". Anything but latest Chrome, Safari or desktop Firefox gets a super basic version even though there appears to be no technical rationale. Just "it is too hard to test this on all of those browsers". Just faking the QA string gets you a working "chrome" experience.
oh, sorry- you mean "life and death" as in you had a murderbot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuFbxeDjRZg_ was my team's contribution) that could kill people, and your model prevented it?

Are you sure you can conclude your system is safe?
Good catch. I can imagine that this is annoying. I have put it in my todo.

I hope you enjoy the course over the weekend.
Tangentially related, now that SWAT'ing is a known-problem, is it possible to contact local law enforcement and forewarn them "Hey, I think I'm at high risk of being SWATed" such that if they receive a call they do some extra diligence to verify? (Like, for example, call you before dispatching.)
The people who finance those emissions are ultimately their customers. If you drive a polluting SUV or eat a ton of beef, those emissions emissions are a consequence of your decisions.

The systematic issues that folk talk about abstractly are things like “too many people pick SUVs rather than commuting by subway” or “society needs to switch away from eating so much beef”. It isn’t just a matter of waltzing into a factory and turning some dials that the greedy factory owner doesn’t want to change
Going to have to disagree. Electronic shifting is definitely not a move in the wrong direction.

I used to be in in the camp where I thought electronic shifting was a gimmick. I got a bike that happened to come with di2 and its simply amazing. The shifts are responsive and clean. Adjustments are hardly ever needed and if you do, the process is beyond quick and amazingly accurate. I don't need to test shifting it through all the steps. Do you need it on a commuter bike? Definitely not but for a hobby bike (road cycling, gravel, mtb) its a really nice to have feature. Since you are already confused I would put you in the commuting territory (maybe unfair) which makes sense, its not really a useful feature in those cases. These have been around for a while and in the past few years cheap enough that it becomes a nice upgrade for hobby users.

Unless we hit mass extinction there is no way to stop progress. Humanity is going to continue to innovate and create. Sometimes those things are totally unnecessary. We should be looking to the future as a beacon of hope. Not trying to argue that we should not be mindful of our level of consumerism BUT humanity is going to keep innovating and lets look to the future that we will solve problems. Not that we are going to move back to an agrarian lifestyle. These devices most likely have an increase footprint, you now have a small motor and battery compared to a cable but the lifetime of the product I think is on-par or increased. Better shifting means longer chain/chain ring life.
thank you, yes, that is a good point. i didn't consider vaccinations. there is really nothing that can replace those, no matter how self-sufficient i'd like people to be. even if a country can make their own vaccinations, that's such a specialized task that the average citizen can't really contribute to that anyways, especially not while they are still busy fighting the disease.
This would be valid, but only if the implementation of pipes in Linux is different than other pipelines, regardless of differences in memory paging, which the article, as detailed and in depth as it is, never makes clear.

So I'm not sure it is not analogous to, "today, we're going to talk about Linux electricity, specifically the way electricity is utilized in Linux."
Pretty clever IMO
I think that was a joke and two - the only part they worry about, however, is their image. That's not the same as a person worrying about how they have potentially treated someone else.
The recurrent phenomenon of "pick a corner-case counterexample and act like that disproves the trend" on HN is really getting grating.
I don't see how it makes sense: the electricity has to be generated, which is almost always via burning something to heat a boiler. Then the electricity is sent to houses via the grid, which involves further losses. So you burn something, make heat, make electricity, send the electricity though wires, to make heat. Vs, just making heat directly in the house to accomplish the job.

If all our electricity came from renewable power then sure, I agree. But most does not. So, this seems like putting the cart before the horse. Why not focus on improving how we generate electricity before we tear out all the gas?

My undergrad degree was electrical engineering. Basically, it seems visible to everyday people, and theatrical, but not that helpful or practical. Happy to hear how I'm wrong. I am certainly very concerned about the environment.
> Back in the 1980's, Commodore released the famous Commodore 64 (8 bit computer), and then followed it up with the Commodore 128, and Amiga (16 bit computers).

Oh man, I havent played jill of the jungle in like 25 years. Thank you for this nostalgia
This is probably happening a lot more than the number of reports mentioned in the article indicates. It happens to me every other day in my Model 3. It's also not binary - sometimes it slows down more quickly than other times, or stops too suddenly when a car is stopped in front of you. Seems real easy to get rear-ended.

I've only got autopilot, not FSD. It's very conservative. It always considers someone to be in front of you even if they've mostly moved out of your lane into the next lane, or they swerve slightly into your lane. I suspect the engineers erred on the side of being rear-ended rather than rear-ending cars in front.
Saving more American servicemen lives at the expense of Japanese children and other non-combatants.
Because the electricity isn’t generated by mostly natural gas anyway and will continue to be for the foreseeable future…this doesn’t reduce emissions, it’s just authoritarian virtue signaling.

If they tell those of us that live in a cold climate that we can’t have gas furnaces and gas water heaters, they are going to be rudely awakened by our response.
Isn't that waste of energy? We live in an energy crisis, so is it really feasible to waste it in wireless charging?

> No, the warranty exists regardless of where the car is serviced.

I'm not sure if that's true for Ford, but this is in the owner's manual for the Nissan GT-R.

> OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE

> You must take the vehicle to an authorized Nissan GT-R Certified dealer in the United States or Canada during regular business hours at your expense in order to obtain warranty service.

> WHAT IS NOT COVERED

> Repairs performed by anyone other than a Nissan GT-R certified dealer.

Anyone else remember in this era it was common to get a disc with a ton of games on it?

I remember having one as a kid with like 25 games on it and just flipping through playing each for like 10 minutes

Flet app written in Python works with DOM built from Python classes. This DOM is then converted to a JSON and sent to Flet client which is written in Dart. Flet client converts received JSON to Flutter widgets.
They wanted to test the dynamics on long tosses (with lots of flipping). It is easier for a toss to be long if the coin is small.
You can also see it this way: The philosophy behind C++ is that the existance of a pointer implies ownership. In C, the existance of a pointer only implies liveness (normally; but really the code can decide on its own whether its safe to dereference the pointer).

With the C++ approach I've found myself overthinking the problem many times. But with the insight that pointers are just data, and memory management can be independent, it turns out that programming with raw pointers need not be hard. There is no problem passing a pointer without "move semantics" shenanigans.
So I'd be really curious to know how they managed that part of the whole thing.

Searching the linked development blog yields this: https://c65gs.blogspot.com/2019/03/floppys-floppys-everywher...

After some searching, we found what we were after: A local supplier here in Germany who has some quantity of different models, including a large number of ALPS 3.5" 1.44MB drives.
That is what functors and modules are for.

And then the O in OCaml is all about OOP.
An anecdote in a sea of data - My 2022 Model 3 had a pretty serious phantom braking problem until 2 or 3 software releases ago. Now it seems to be entirely resolved in my use case. For context, I drive 200-400 miles a week, 95% of which using autopilot on divided highways and well-marked two or four lane roads.
Interesting. I wonder if the law makers are looking at the environmental cost of producing all these new cooktops vs using what has already been produced.

Kind of like the plastic Nalgene bottle you already own, and functions perfectly fine, is better for the environment than throwing it out to buy a new stainless steel bottle. Granted, the water bottle example doesn't require a fuel source for continued use.
Perhaps, but presumably people will still be the ones choosing whether to release or promote a given work generated by an AI, and by your reasoning they are the ones who are risk averse.

I don’t imagine many people subscribing to an AI who can generate and release countless songs on it’s own without some sort of filter to discern desirable content from undesirable.

Barring some large development, having a human to curate the generated material will be a requirement for success, or else drown your audience in a torrent of unchecked content.
shimano, sram, and campagnolo have been engaged in a passive aggressive war of cross-compatibility degradation for about 40 years.
Doesn't seem to support your view? 'Within the EU, little data is available ... 41,000 electric devices and 9,200 gas appliances were sold'.

And I mean like I say - I have eyes and I can see that it definitely is not the case that the majority of restaurants in Europe do not use gas.

If you say you work in restaurants then I'm sure you know what you're talking about - only explanation can be we're connected to this website from parallel universes.
So after thinking about it for the past 45 minutes, I don't think I ate breakfast today, nor do I recall stopping at any of the traffic lights that I would have had to stop at on drive this morning. But I recall a shell script maybe a decade ago that behaved differently between POSIX compliant shells due to the differences in how they handled processes in a pipeline. That's when I discovered POSIX was not unambiguous.
So pipes in Linux are significantly different than other pipelines? Was the wheel really reinvented when Linux was developed from Minux, such that the Minix pipeline implementation was abandoned? RLY??! I doubt it.
Uhh this is super nice. I did not even know there was a Web Bluetooth api. That's dope. Then I can drop all of the nodejs stuff and also run it from the phone that's a lot nicer. Thanks for the share!
> I don't think there is any real backing to the idea that low-status people are more likely to succeed.

Point. They definitely aren't more likely to succeed. I do contend they are however, afforded a small opportunity to work on their idea in obscurity until it reaches that stage it can gain traction. And in the meantime, position their chess pieces for the inevitable entry of the avaricious, high-status people looking for a kill at the low-status people's expense.

That is, low-status can be deployed as camouflage to deflect attention away from the gathering of resources and information to choose the time, place and terms to start the fight for maintaining control over anything that gains traction.

I do agree however, this rarely happens.

A CSM is not an actual manager of anyone, that's just what their title is. What you are describing is the role of a CSM, not the role of a help desk agent. The bar for getting hired as a CSM is much, much higher than that of a help desk agent, and their pay and impact are commensurately higher.

Your first meaning, the non-moral one, is what I had in mind. Clearly there are some people who would prefer to think about the alternative way, and they have my contempt.

But the popular culture today is, itself, trying to impute a moral judgment. Where most of us, I think, very much want to get past all this racial BS, we're being forced to view the world through a racial lens so that the "anti-racists" can make a moral judgment about observed differences in outcomes.
This has been discussed on the Rust forums. There are too many widely used packages that are stuck at version 0.x, with no stability guarantee. The basic HTTP library, "hyper", is at 0.14.19, and it's had breaking changes more than once. 48,300,708 downloads.

* "image": 0.24.2 (Read and write common image formats, 7,257,076 downloads)

* "glam": 0.20.5 (Basic 2,3,4D vector and matrix operations, 1,155,849 downloads)

* "cached": 0.34.0 (Cache management, 1,367,883 downloads).

Rust needs a push to get everything with more than a million downloads up to version 1.x. Then the semantic versioning rules are supposed to require no breaking changes for existing code without changing the major version number.
This happens to me just using the adaptive cruise control, no Autopilot or FSD enabled and it's super annoying. Can happen on a completely empty road driving in a straight line.
> My contribution is insignificant (a prompt), whereas Dall-Es is 99% of the work.

I disagree entirely with this. Picking a prompt and potentially going through dozens, hundreds, or thousands of variations and re-generations has artistic value.

Just like the photograph of a mountain. Nature did most of the work, but a human selecting an angle, lighting, etc. from the nearly infinite combinations available matters.

We've also established in court that monkeys can't hold copyright (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_disput...), and they're quite a bit more sentient than DALL-E.
Yeah, it's absolutely short sighted. Gas appliances are more efficient than electric appliances powered by natural gas fired power plants. While hydrogen might be a way's away (plus it requires redesigning everything), people (for example, Oberon fuels in California) are already mixing renewable dimethyl ether (similar to propane, but the central carbon atom is an oxygen atom) with propane in tanks for gas grills. Storing fuels is cheaper and better for the environment than storing electricity. Expanding the electric grid will be more challenging than repurposing the gas grid.
Tokened shovelware, as in they shoveled as much onto a CDROM as they could. Sometimes, they'd accidentally include not just shareware but licensed software... oops.

The same is true for card magicians, and card handling. I have a lot of things I can do with my hands and joints that aren't something you can see.

Same with enhanced sensitivity. I can fairly accurately tell you how many cards I pick up from a group. It's just practice, once you can do 2, you do 3, all the way up to 10, to 15 to 20.
Metal (and MetalKit) is a more humane API. Frankly, I'd rather use old OpenGL than Vulkan. Vulkan feels like it was designed with the hardware in mind rather than developers.

Sears had the DNA and definitely were the Amazon of the previous century, but they didn't have the fight left in them. By the time Amazon showed up they were already being chewed apart by vultures for being fat, old, and complacent. There was already an LBO or three from private equity firms on their books and then the bad merger with K-Mart all with the intent of breaking Sears apart for pieces/scraps/brands anyway. Sears was already a walking corpse when Amazon came to fight.

I feel like the wilder "DNA fight" that wasn't was "80's Sears/Amazon wannabe": Service Merchandise. They tried to recreate the Sears formula for the late 1980s/early 1990s and basically convergently evolved the Ikea model before Ikea grew any US presence as just big warehouses with smaller showrooms up front. They made a bunch of silly mistakes in the 90s trying to grow beyond their roots in primarily the US South region to more national regard/footprint, but if they hadn't made those mistakes they probably could have been a real interesting contender against Amazon.
20% down means the prices go back to approximately last year's. The only people who lose money would be those who bought in the past year.
I think people confuse the lifetime of the plant with the lifetime of the license to operate it. The NRC issues a 40 year license which can then be renewed if approved.

Edit: Since apparently this needs explaining, insurers will consider evidence and happily doll out blame to a party that does something dumb in proportion to their fault (with slight variations per differences in law from state to state). The fact that said dumbness results in the back of your car getting hit with the front of another only matters in the base case in which no other reliable information about the situation is available. In the case of a car that just stops in the roadway with no reason to do so some of the blame is likely to land on the driver thereof. Insurers are well aware that the rules of the road are built around redundant requirements so that crashes don't happen when one party can't or won't hold up their end. Infantile "but the other guy is responsible for.." arguments don't tend to hold much water with them when there's evidence (video or otherwise) that in the events that lead up to the accident your hand was no more forced than the other guy's were because both drivers are still bound by whatever the default responsibility to operate their vehicles in a safe manner is (wording varies by state).

I live in MA, and in my old house I heated and cooked with gas.

In the summer my gas bill was $30. In the winter my gas bill would go up to about $200. One extremely cold January in 2015 nearly cost $300.

So, yeah, space heating uses much more gas than cooking.

The virtual object could be relative to the person interacting with it rather than a stationary zone in space. With sound waves, for example, it could be something like a tightly focused beam combined with motion/finger/hand tracking... As your hand moves along the "object", the beam is constantly re-aimed (at the hand) and re-adjusted in real time to give you the sensation of feeling around the profile. No suit required.
