I would guess that this scenario is unlikely at best. Even if Apple expressed interest in purchasing a license, Microsoft would likely not sell one to them because their primary interest in licensing Windows is getting devices to ship with Windows preinstalled, and Apple is most certainly not ever going to do that.
We're talking about two different passwords - the password to your rsync.net account and the passphrase to (duplicity/borg/restic/etc.) that you used to create your failsafe backup here.

If you use an SSH key with a passphrase, etc., to access rsync.net that could, indeed, be an authentication that you lose because your phones and laptops and yubikeys burn in a fire.

But if you can authenticate to a human being, which you can here (after a lot of probing and testing), then the only thing you need to remember is your borg passphrase. Or duplicity. Or gpg pipelined through tar ... or whatever.

No, it's a signal that we're heading for lower demand, at least partly because of inflation.
Mostly by going with 5MP webcams in about 1mm thicker displays and wider bezels. Slightly pricier and uglier.

The hiccup of the latest Studio Display seems to imply there is a lack of collaboration with the device camera teams. Every year I hope Apple steps up as an otherwise excellent camera company and jacks up the price even more for better sensors across the board.
Thank you, the Kong Cash notes were a labor of love and are now very limited in availability -- glad you got some! With Kong we wanted to create a completely new cryptocash from the ground up with Kong with the idea "what if a cryptocurrency started physical first". It was really a demonstration of the usefulness of secure element chips that generate their own keys -- work we've continued with Kong Land.

Unfortunately the chips we use for Kong Cash rely on the P256 curve rather than secp256k1. With Ethereum and the EVM we could bridge this via smart contract, however, Bitcoin script is too limited to achieve the same result (imo with good reason).

We landed on a very different chip configuration for Bitcoin which has the tradeoff of some centralized elements, but also allows the user to introduce their own entropy (unlike the chip we used in Kong Cash which in theory has very good entropy, but still relies on claims from the manufacturer). The timelock concept from Kong, however, works incredibly well for the Bitcoin Note as a failsafe for conditions where we disappear or refuse to service notes.
Yes, letting non-technical teammates run stuff that was previously only accessible on the command line is basically the perfect use case. In terms of the specifics of your setup: without having worked with an HPC cluster before, I'm not 100% on exactly what it would take, but I'm pretty confident it's possible. The SDK component is super lightweight, so if we can get Node.js running, we can get Interval running. Feel free to email me (alex at interval dot com) and I can help you with this.
I'd prefer they cut hours over cutting days. 7+ hours in classrooms with hardly any breaks is brutal. Keep them for childcare purposes if you must, but cut the instruction hours. More free time or recess, and wholly-optional, casual courses in various subjects on a drop-in basis. Fewer hours sitting in classrooms and expected to be fully engaged, unable to even take a piss without begging permission first.
It defintely needs some documentation! It is closed source proprietary software, so that is one major difference.

It seems like people just repeating this over and over but is there anything to back it up? Do we have a 12th gen Intel chip with a known die size and transistor count? Seems like Intel is deliberately coy about this. I gave up looking.
>> China would be shooting themselves in the foot by invading, because it would equally fuck them. I've read in may places that as soon as China invades, Taiwan will blow up all the fabs and supporting supply lines. So even if China takes control of Taiwan, the semiconductor industry will be a smoldering pile of nothingness.

That sounds incredibly stupid. If China invading is shooting themselves in the foot, then Taiwan blowing up their (worlds most advanced) fabs would be suicide. Nobody ever won a conflict by doing that.
Agreed. Just last night I tried installing ReactOS in a Parallels VM on Intel, and their ISO installer couldn't get beyond "Failed to open txtsetup.sif" at the very start. The last ReactOS ISO I could get to work was 0.4.11 (three releases / three years ago). It's a worry that such a critical showstopper regression has gone unpatched over 3 years.

0.4.11 did run a lot of Windows software that I use (including my own) & I was impressed with what they'd achieved, but it regularly corrupted the file system and required a full reformat & reinstall, so not something I could actively use.
but then how do I get rich?

Did you know you can charge (or at least power) the laptop via the other usb port, next to the power port? I was afraid to try that out by myself but their support asked me if I can do so and it worked.
Author here. You’re correct. I spent about 20 minutes mulling over whether to call it a transpiler for the purposes of the post, but "compiler" felt more appropriate. Technically, it could even be called a decompiler since it's going from low to high level. But ultimately even that's a compiler. :)

I think that the birth rate in Portugal is about 1.3 per woman so long term rents and property prices will crash unless you find people to fill all those houses.
The issue is that the choice of gauge changes the equation between the value of the potential and all the observable quantities. So you can go ahead and measure the phase difference, the charge of the particle, and the value of the magnetic flux within the solenoid, but in order to turn that into a value of the magnetic potential, you need an equation relating them all. And different choices of gauges give you different equations. So there's no unique way to go from the quantities you've observed to a value of the magnetic potential.
Weird substitutions are taking place in some cases, like the GE light bulbs from Mexico a friend spotted at a local retailer in Boston.

People in border states have seen this since the start of the pandemic. I remember the first time that the only toilet paper available in Kroger was all Mexican brands.

I suspect that Mexican companies can make more money shipping goods to the U.S. than selling them locally. I also wonder if the demand from the north had made shortages in Mexico worse.
Yea, it's difficult, especially because the right way to interpret them is both confusing and unhelpful.

Why do I care about the properties of my test if it doesn't say anything about the what I should know about the thing I'm measuring in this specific case. Covering the true parameter 95% of the time is useless if I can't make that leap to saying this one contains it 95% of the time.

It's so confusing, and I say this as someone who has devoted all of their adult life to statistics.
Took a quick look at your loom. Very cool. In practice, we prefer just looking through a single channel with threads, but perhaps that's because we're a small team.

It is not only a demand question, supply seems also low: Usually, at this point in the year, country roads should be plastered with strawberry- and asparagus-selling stands (at least where I live). I have seen not a single one. Even if I wanted to get some asparagus, I wouldn't begin to know where to get them, as both crops when locally grown are highly seasonal and not all supermarkets carry them.

As a single IT guy with a reasonably good salary, I didn't notice much of the price increases - but I do notice when stuff becomes harder to get.

I don't think an adapter is the kind of innovation HN users are looking for.

I've fried at least one USB-C device, a high-end wireless headset, seemingly by connecting it to a name-brand USB-C charger that had some kind of incompatibility with the headset.

Plus, even among Apple chargers, some USB-C chargers will support fast charging, and some won't, regardless of their rated wattage. Plus some will and will not support fast charging via a wireless charger (either a MagSafe wireless charger or an Apple Watch charger). There are a lot of charging incompatibilities in the current state of USB-C, even among devices from a single manufacturer.
You have to correct your calculations for relativity. A spaceship accelerating at 1G for 1 year (earth time, not spaceship time) will reach a little less than 0.5c. Accelerating at 1G for 10 years will reach 0.98c and take 4.5 years in the frame of reference of the spaceship. 1G for 100 years reaches 0.9998c and takes almost 9 years for the spaceship. None of these figures account for deceleration.

EDIT:

I echo the comment that it's useful to play around with the relativistic rocket calculators available online. TLDR: If you could actually make an engine that accelerated your spaceship at 1G continuously, that's really all you need. It's good enough for human life scale trips pretty much anywhere. You could travel the diameter of the milky way (approx. 100K light years) in 22.5 years of ship time, including deceleration to stop at the other end. Want to get to the Andromeda galaxy? 28.6 years of ship time. Of course, everything you know back home will be millions of years gone by the time you get to your destination.

This is the case I try to make to friends and relatives (non-EV owners) who insist that a common plug is a prerequisite to EV ownership.

Standardizing against Tesla at any earlier point would have been a gift on a silver platter for legacy auto by slowing EV adoption, and it's Tesla's freedom to innovate that is why we're even having this discussion instead of theoretical questions about what EVs might be like in the future.

I usually tell them to let Tesla solve the remaining edge cases (semis, trailer hauling, and charge speeds comparable to ICE fill-ups) before we start regulating. Setting things in stone now would be like standardizing on DSL as the only last-mile broadband in 2004. We don't want to do that.
The advantage of coroutines isn't inside the lexer itself, but in synchronizing the lexer (or let's say parser, which can handle nested structure) with whatever consumes its output. Look at SAX-style XML parsers like expat or libxml2: they recursively parse the XML events (tags etc.) to the client through user-supplied callbacks, an annoying control inversion. An alternative could be to reify the parse stack inside some data structure but recursion is way more natural. Coroutines solve the problem: you call the parser, and it returns tags as it encounters them, from arbitrarily deep inside its own parse tree.

I think goroutines were intended more for i/o concurrency than as a control flow mechanism, so the performance issues aren't surprising. I wonder how the benchmark would look with C++20 coroutines. I was going to say protothreads but I think those are not allowed to be recursive.

As for listening to your professors, well, Knuth vol 1 all the way back in 1968 advocated coroutines as a more powerful generalization of subroutines ;).

The ease of implementing very lightweight and fast multitaskers is one of the traditional attractions of Forth, if that matters.

I wonder what is the end game here.

The Portuguese government needs the extra tax revenue to mitigate their own foreign debt and stop state pensions from collapsing mostly because there is no population growth and a large emmigration flow.

But these retirees are largely not going to generate jobs or raise more kids and they will increase the pressure on real estate and healthcare.

I wonder if anyone has done the maths on this in terms of the long term consequences and costs?
The middle piece is thin and does look fragile, but you can't put any real side load on it. The outer wall of the connector takes that force before you can put any real force on the middle. Unless you're jamming a flathead screwdriver or something in it.

Beyond that, the springloaded contacts are on the cable end with type-c, with lightning it's inside the phone. I don't think it's a particularly common failure mode, but having less moving parts in the expensive bit is generally a good idea.

Gifting cold storage is the main case we see here. Namely to someone who might throw out a printed private key. We spoke with many Bitcoiners who know that friends and family lost coins they gave them in the early days simply because a printed private key doesn't have much gravitas.
This is also very relevant for family or trusted access. We had a hell of a time after my father had a stroke (recovered now) even though I had access to his computers and KeePass database - he had plenty of things where phone access was needed but nobody knew his unlock pin and it was required to reactivate fingerprint unlock.
Direct or not, in that scenario the Bitcoin price is still being artificially increased for the benefit of a private malevolent actor.

If you want to call that something other than manipulation, then :shrug:, more power to you. But my main takeaway is still going to be that banannaise's original comment seems to be mostly accurate.
The GE light bulbs I find in big box stores are GE as a licensed brand name. They are made all over by someone licensing the name.
Yes but all you’re really doing is encouraging everyone to stay locked in to a USB-C market. This isn’t enabling competition in the charging market, it’s eliminating or hamstringing competing markets. You won’t create a new charging apparatus because you’re legally required to use USB-C.

"What if we created a charging cable that did X,Y,Z?"

"That would be cool but we have to use USB-C"

> Have you ever felt the Apple/Microsoft charger to be lacking in some way? Breaking easily, too long cords, too short, wrong color, too expensive?

No not really. In fact I’ve found most third-party products to be godawful. Good luck not buying something fraudulent on Amazon.com. But also, I’m not really sure what you are talking about. Companies sell charging equipment and cords now anyway.

Everything has trade-offs. I’m skeptical of the necessity of this regulation, especially given that the only holdout that anyone cares about is Apple and they’ve been adopting USB-C in all of their products over time. One benefit though will be manufacturers won’t include charging cables with new devices anymore. So that will further reduce waste. Wouldn’t be surprised to see lobbying behind the scenes from companies such as Apple to implement regulations like this so they can save money. I kind of like this as an investor because now you can save money by not including a cable (or maybe you still do and it’s just some cheap one for now) and then you go and up sell wireless chargers instead.
Indeed. Honestly that sounds like a bit of a plus too. A bit more skepticism should be applied to videos of talking heads in suits saying things. Especially when there's a huge panel of them.

Where did you find butter that's only 50% more?! I've got a tip on some 3 EUR/liter sunflower oil in exchange ;)

Nothing quite like seeing Rapsöl (that's canola oil for North Americans) marketed as an artisanal product, for 5-6 EUR in little half liter dark bottles to preserve the nutty aroma, instead of clear plastic liter bottles for 1 EUR.

Meat is "only" about 20% more than I was used to paying - though that's a side-effect of buying non-caged/free-range which was already way more expensive than the cheap stuff. Eggs are also about 20% more, but again, free-range.
