I'm thinking of Markdown as an example of a format with loose validation rules and a low entry barrier.

Sure, having several slightly incompatible versions with different degrees of completeness is a pain in the ass for rendering it. But insisting on a single format (such as titles can only be made with '#' not '-----', tables can only be '|--', comments can only be '-' not '*', etc) and rejecting as invalid any other user input would be way worse in terms of its purpose as an easy to learn, easy to read text-only format.
But they get paid quite a lot more when people pay thousands of dollars to buy their hardware.

"Any technological developments in wired charging can be reflected in a timely adjustment of technical requirements/ specific standards under the Radio Equipment Directive. This would ensure that the technology used is not outdated."

"At the same time, the implementation of any new standards in further revisions of Radio Equipment Directive would need to be developed in a harmonised manner, respecting the objectives of full interoperability. Industry is therefore expected to continue the work already undertaken on the standardised interface, led by the USB-IF organisation, in view of developing new interoperable, open and non-controversial solutions."
I thought this post was going to show me something profound but it’s clearly a surface level idea without any real knowledge of the topic. Human error comes in many forms and from a safety perspective we want to identify what impacts human error will have and then work to reduce the risk associated with each one to as low as is reasonably practicable.

Process design, interface design, organisation and manning, ergonomics etc all play a role.

It is inevitable that a human will make an error, with a well designed system it should be very very hard for them to do so.
This is a very bad policy. We should instead invest in local companies, not a American monopoly like Intel.
This is escalating like the Gilette wars (3 blades, 4 blades...12 blades).

Soon you'll only stand out by announcing the 3 day work week.

...and get killed by a team that just outworks you. How many pro-sports teams have switched to less and less training :)

I do hope all our competitors switch to 0 day workweeks...
When you have 24 official languages in 27 countries with no physical borders it doesn't end up having an even distribution of plugs but clusters of different types. There are no large wastelands of cheap land where every network can have a station, it's usually one station on each side of the road every 50km on the highways. In cities, a lot of things are retrofitted into medieval city structure so there's not much free space for all your charging needs.

As a result, this will create artificial limits on where people can travel. EU is that much into standardisation because we want to remove these artificial limits created through the thousands years of history.
But not using 2FA comes with its own set of problems. The kind of problems 2FA was introduced to mitigate.
I don't doubt many of HN readers use some advanced math daily or weekly, but I'm skeptical that more than 1-2% of the general population does.
I honestly think this is something the UK should be doing too, however with the current political environment it wouldn’t be possible.

no... we also had the Micro USB standard because of Europe...

One nice thing about recovery passwords is you don't need to put the account name/email with it (you'll presumably remember that).

That reduces the risk of losing it a bit.
It's time to move away from GitHub. There are better alternatives such as Codeberg or Gitlab.
Pssst! Don't tell anyone I told you: they are already doing crazy stuff, but we shouldn't complain too loudly, or else...
>Legislators deciding who gets to be VHS and who has to be Betamax is bad, actually

Interesting example. Betamax was technologically superior, but lost out due to marginally higher costs. What makes you think Tesla's connector wouldn't suffer the same fate?
>A total lack of trust of our shared perception? Let me know how that works out. Might as well have everyone on acid 24/7.

It's no different from religion, which was the backbone of the western civilisation for quite some time.
No, you're wrong. There are many, many species of beetles (thousands) that are called lightning bugs/fireflies. The terms are interchangeable, as they refer to any species in the entire family.

If you give someone your email instead of your AIM then there isnt more to remember. You would email each other instead of using an always on messenger service. AIM was a place you logged in and logged out of, and all conversations were contained within those signals. It was a different experience which made it something worth remembering a new username for. If we take away the signalling that made it different than email, then why use a messenger service at all?

The current messenger systems seem designed to increase expectations, and then we wonder why people expect too much. they offer things like "online, away, busy, offline" but in reality no one cares. It all ends up just being part of your pile of notes that you will respond to when you can. So it might as well be email, which is built around that level of expectation.

I mean, I dont mind having to remember separate email and messenger accounts. I am just saying that if you are going to bring it up as a problem, then the solution is to drop messenger accounts, not email, because they barely provide anything new anymore over email except ambiguous expectations and stress

Also, I'm not sure why that point came through like a quote, it was just the point I was trying to make.
Very very cool. I'm writing this on a second-hand MacBook that was given to me by the very wealthy family I used to work for- it had stopped working completely and they said I should take it and see if I could get it fixed. I did, and I hope to have it for as long as I possibly can- I could never have afforded one otherwise.

Why is the local fab specifically important? They're still going to fly the wafers to Malaysia or wherever for packaging, right? And the tools and chemicals will all be made elsewhere, won't they? It's not as simple as having a steady supply of apples from your local orchard.
It doesn't. I still get "weather channel" as source
I suppose we could dig into that twitch source code leak to confirm
I wonder if one workaround isn’t to store info like 1Password key and password - not username - in a pdf with a simple, easily remembered password, in an email IMAP account with a similarly easy password? Could even be a bitly link to a Dropbox file.

I know that creates a huge security hole but it’s only one if someone else is able to identify which account it applies to.
I concede that they may be OK as storage unit for backup copies which can be replaced relatively cheaply and may work well if you check that your backup still exists and functions. Just don't be like that watch collector that lost everything.
Yes, that's true. We're currently not targeting side projects at the moment as we do not have infrastructure to do so. I hope do be able to support smaller developers (like myself) soon. Step-by-step!
Once again EU taxpayer money bankrolling US tech dominance. When will we ever learn to build up our domestic tech industry?

And before the chip hipsters crawl all over my back to prove we ackshually have a powerful domestic semi industry, please name me another EU company, other than ASML (a company 90% of people here never heard of before the chip shortage), that has the same margins, dominance and ability to shape the market, as much as the US based Intel, Quallcomm, AMD, Nvidia, Apple. I'll wait.

The thing is, other than ASML, most of our domestic semi companies (NXP, ST, Ericsson, Nordic, Infineon, Bosch, AMS, etc.) are only competing for relatively low margin chips with high competition, therefore bring home relatively little money, compared to their US counterparts which have monopolized high margin sectors (general compute, AI, graphics, etc) and rake in the big bucks.

Don't get me wrong, it's great we have our own semi industry, and we make great chips to boot, but I wish we could do more high margin products, as Chinese companies are hot on our heels with massive support from their government.

Remember the failed attempt from the merger of ST-Ericsson to take on QUALCOMM's ARM Snapdragon SoCs and modems in the mobile space 10 years ago? I was talking to a former Dutch manager who had a stint there and his reply dropped my jaw: "Yeah, that merger was never meant to ship any chips that can beat Quallcomm, it was just a vehicle designed to suck up as money as possible and funnel it into the right pockets, while some managers pad their resumes so they can move up at other companies later."

The comment I was replying to was about physical paper copies, not emails.

Distributing digital copies of your password store to your friends and relatives could maybe work. Be sure you're using a really strong password (that you can also remember by heart), because you cannot trust each friend will store the file responsibly away from prying eyes.

Remember the scenario:

- You lost access to your recovery codes and any handwritten notes, so you better remember the master password by heart.

- But this master password better be really strong, because each of your N friends you distributed your files to is a potential leak to hackers and thieves.

- (Tangentially related: remember you have no authenticator either, so your password store better include recovery codes, otherwise without 2FA you're screwed)
How often does the world willingly standardize on something invented by a single company? Even if they had released it into public domain, USB-C was going to happen anyway.
But if the GMOs are made resistant to pesticides and weedkillers, that encourages the excessive use of chemicals to promote a monoculture.

Disagree. Email is Gmail. If other email providers do not comply to the de-facto GMail standard, that is an implementation error on their part. It is not possible for Google to make a mistake, only to accidentally invent a new specification.
Well yes, but anti-abortionists are a rapidly shrinking minority that I assumed were pretty much extinct on hacker news.
We are - indirectly. Intel uses EUV machines provided by ASML.

Those are 240V plugs, which are also standardized.
Considering the amount of fraud and theft in the crypto community, a little regulation could be a good thing. Normal people want good regulations to protect them from bad actors. That's the point of good governance.
Sorry to hear that. I'll do my best to resist asking if you'd like to chat instead ;).

We try to take a very "partnership" centric approach. What that looks like day-to-day is our engineers/success/leadership team collaborating in a shared Slack Connect channel on new features. For a lot of our customers we get deep into the problem and bring in outside speakers from the industry to come do workshops, AMAs, etc. that might align well with the challenges.

This is the fun part about the job!

Also, Lee Smolin's been public about his opinions for...at least 25 years now, that my memory serves, so it's certainly not opportunism on his part.
Is this 9.8m/s2? So after 1 year at this is 3.156e7*9.8/1000*3600km/h ?

Assuming it's just moving in space away from any massive objects in a straight line...1 billion km/h.

Isn't it too fast?
I’ve mentioned this before, but when moving my team (design agency that helps B2B SaaS)to a 4-day work week, productivity increased dramatically.

Most businesses can move to a 4-day work week. If you’re an employer and you read this, just give it a try for a month and measure output.

Your limiting beliefs will most likely become weak opinions.
If they're willing to build a lot of processors rather than add dangerous features to use one chip or core or whatever maybe they can make it multiples of ten years this time ;-)

Wenn sie bereit sind, viele Prozessoren zu bauen, anstatt gefährliche Funktionen hinzuzufügen, um einen Chip oder Kern oder was auch immer zu verwenden, können sie dieses Mal vielleicht ein Vielfaches von zehn Jahren schaffen ;-)
> Honestly, this is good policy. We can't have our complete global supply chain held over our heads when China goes and does something crazy inevitably.

American/Italian and agreed.

Though I worry what will happen is they just spin up plants in the various totalitarian states of SE Asia in parallel.

(Eg: Vietnam is communist, Thailand is a kingdom, on the ground they are allegedly very similar, but I haven't been to either personally.)
I think we’re saying the same thing?
Yeah, me too. Or even though the cable is supposed to be reversible and yet my phone will only charge if the cable is inserted one way, but not the other. I've had that happen a lot too!

I'm just glad USB-C has come along so we didn't do something foolish like standardize on Micro USB - I hate those ports! I recently bought two brand-new BT speakers and guess how they're charged? Micro USB! Grrrrrrr!!!
Where this can directly been seen in Java is the Optional class which has the methods you describe as instance methods. Though Java has no syntactic sugar for monads this allows chaining expressions (which I think in Haskell would be bind() chains). Java streams behave similarly (and form a kind of monad around Collections).

Having monad (or functor) functions (flatMap, map,...) as static functions has the disadvantage that you can't chain them well.
One of the highlights of 2021 for me was watching him lose millions as one of the "stablecoins" he promoted dumped from $1 to 0, and then going on Twitter to rant about crypto.
I don't want my tax money filling the coffers of an American monopoly.
This will not do much with Taiwan being a single source for semiconductor manufacturing supplies.

Much of critical blockers for chemicals, consumables, materials will still be in Taiwan just because the semi industry is that huge there.

All 300mm fabs working outside of Taiwan are just few shipments of consumables away from stalling all the time.

When Russia attacks Ukraine, the 3rd world is fucked.

When China attacks Taiwan, the 1st world is fucked.
This is a cool idea and I've been contemplating it myself - but if you don't control the picture, whay if someone chabges it or recompresses it, then its binary changes and you are screwed.

You are better off with a famous historical text, like in 'invincible' they sued Frankenstein. But it has to be with a clear and indusputed original, not something that has mutiple translations.

ProGuard 20th Anniversary: 20 years of Java shrinking and optimization
Yeah, absolutely fair. That said, I think there's a movement away from local because:

a) deployments are getting complex enough that it's hard to get dev environments locally

b) it's cheaper and quicker to pay for cloud development machines anyway

c) things have enough scale that local development doesn't match production anyway

Saw this on twitter recently which supports this a bit:

That's a great insight. I'll look into the Github/Copilot more. I can't code without Copilot anymore and that piques my interest. But yeah, we def need politically neutral voices.
I think sourcing those things would be a lot easier than building a fab, on a time scale.
Yikes! Never like seeing that. Can you email me directly and I will get this sorted? robert@firehydrant.com
The majority of medical research spend is from industry. The government does fund stuff though.

There's a lot of assumptions there. Why don't you assume that it's about having as much of the supply chain locally?
I’m sure I’m missing something in your comment here but Western classical music seems to me to have thrived in the years following the second Viennese school - so many interesting and innovative composers - Debussy, Messiaen, Varese, Lutoslawski, Boulez - to name a small handful.
can this be done in postgres via client or via server? I found it really nice
What are your interests outside the tech domain? Try applying your tech domain knowledge into something in your area of non-tech related interest. It can be as simple as monitoring energy usage in your home or as complex as automated smell removal and seepage from garbage can. Do a side project for yourself.

I like to study new stuff, mostly mathematics/quantitative oriented. When I am reading a book on a topic, I try to figure out how I can implement the things explained and written in the book.

Is it really all client side? How could they do things like substring matching without sending the entire index back and forth to the client? The graphic seems to show the query being executed solely on the server (although graphics often lie).
In my experience, it's been declining for decades. I moved to Oklahoma in the 90s, expecting to see fireflies. I saw ... one? Two? And that was it. I didn't see any significant number of fireflies until a later visit to West Virginia. But the way my grandparents used to talk about it, Oklahoma was teeming with fireflies during their youth.
I've heard enough of these horror stories to know it's a real problem, even if only for a relatively small percentage of users it's not acceptable (even more so because of their notorious lackadaisical support/recovery process). That said in the case of OP it seems they didn't do any of the basics steps to improve deliverability, so in that particular case I think pinning the blame entirely on Gmail is a stretch.
But it's not the same paradigm - different message mediums have different communication expectations. And one of the differences between email and texting is that the group of texting people is smaller and more frequent. Therefore it's more efficient to not use the archive pattern for texts. You want the list of people you've messaged to just be there (and not abstracted by a commonly contacted list) easily accessible for continuing the conversation with the history too.
I didn't know this was a thing. The article mentions it can do equality, range, prefix, suffix and substring queries. Does this mean that the encryption scheme creates sortable 1:1 mapped results after encryption? Kind of like a shift cipher?
ASML is in the Netherlands though.

Edit: Yes ASML is obviously not a chip fab but they supply the machines that actually fabricate the chips.
Intel is far from a monopoly in the foundry business and is frankly, the only realistic option outside of TSMC to make this happen.

And the US does the same thing in terms of tax breaks for German automotive companies building manufacturing plants.

Which again, makes sense, because you want to make sure you have manufacturing across continents in case Russia invades Germany and blows up all of the auto plants (for example).
Maybe not in common parlance, but if you lease a building for hundreds or thousands of years at a nominal rent, it's difficult to distinguish that from what you might call "true" ownership. Believe it or not that is how a lot of property is owned in some common law jurisdictions. A well-known example is Guinness's famous brewery in Dublin, which was leased in 1759 for 9,000 years at £45 per year.

Long-lease ownership is particularly common for apartments, where it is important that the owner of one apartment does not do anything to impair the structural integrity of other apartments or the building as a whole, and there may also be a common area that apartment owners are obliged to maintain. This means that you must impose certain covenants on the apartment owners and traditionally the only way to do that was through leasehold ownership.

Ownership is a very fuzzy concept and it is interesting to think about what are its hallmarks. There is no single correct answer, but I think a lot of lawyers tend to think of ownership as being a right "in rem" (ie, a right in respect of a thing, which is theoretically enforceable against any third party) rather than a right "in personam" (ie, a right against a particular person, which is generally not enforceable against third parties). In that regard, a leasehold is a right in rem whereas, for example, a licence to dwell on a property for a period of time would be a right in personam.
It has already happened to me blank on the 4-digit PIN I have since more than 5 years. Never thought I could forget something so short I use so often.
This keeps showing up but it's total bullshit. Cuban wants to take 15% of the transaction for running a web site and processing payment. They're not manufacturing drugs. They're not buying drugs. They're not shipping drugs. They're not doing anything at all besides taking your order and giving it to someone to do all those things.

It's not a charity. It's a profitable business and a very profitable one at that.

Oh yeah, and the prices aren't lower than what you can get using GoodRX.
That was how the interstellar ship¹ in The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell worked. For the first half of the trip they accelerated at 1g, then the ship rotated and they decelerated at 1g for the second half of the trip.

⸻
1. Which was actually a hollowed-out asteroid and used the asteroid itself as propellant to achieve continuous acceleration and deceleration for the trip. One of the better attempts at providing a plausible mechanism for interstellar travel. Good enough that I neither declared it magic nor spent a long time thinking that it wouldn’t work.²

2. Doubtless someone will reply here with a detailed explanation of why it wouldn’t work.
Seems fake. Even if he got hold of the messages, I don't think he could break the encryption.
English only, no SSML. This was probably the least minimal MVP I've built so far, though. Gotta still iterate. SSML is prob more important than non-English for now.
