This is an odd issue to have as a "modern" country, but geopolitics are complicated.

I'm surprised that our government didnt see this coming, considering the Ukraine-Russia conflict has been going on for nearly a decade - maybe we need to revisit some other dependencies as well?

Either way, this giant thermos is a cool idea, and I wish we had the same in my city now!

Tangentially related rant;

Man, it sucks we (im german) dont ever listen to any qualified experts anymore, unless they tell us what we want to hear.

I love feelings and emotions as much as the next guy, and I appreciate a good story that can make me cry and feel things, but we didnt really have to talk ourselves into being so scared of nuclear to turn it off indefinitely.

It's one of those decisions that was made completely out of fear, and to appeal to the voters, I assume. It's fucked us royally, and it's absolutely miserable to see that other countries with "worse" governments do a better job of this. Still almost everyone I know will argue "do you want a Chernobyl next to our city???", and seemingly, this is the kind of irrational thing this government uses as core points for making decisions.

I'm out of here first chance I get, if someone wants to offer me a job literally anywhere where the government can read and listen, im taking it.

or it might. Your own answer acknowledges that with the 'might'. So yes, you measure the odds then throw the dice.

Off the top of my head there's TORX / tamper resistant TORX, TORX Plus, tamper resistant TORX Plus, whatever the external/female variant is called. TR TORX simply has a pin in the middle of the head, but TR TORX+ has five lobes versus six.

TORX Plus has made its rounds on the automotive circuit. It's designed to be somewhat backwards compatible but it is a lot easier to damage the fastener with a normal TORX driver.

I enjoy high quality audio, but I use my phone. If you get a Quboz or Tidal 24/96 subscription then as long as you take care of the DAC and speakers/headphones you've got a great chain. Rather then buying a Sony digital audio player, you could spend that money on a good set of Sony headphones - assuming you already own the requisite phone. And in the house, you can build a very high performance audio setup for about £200 via hifiberry, avoiding the bonkers price of hires hi-fis.

I've been using this ever since Google Reader went to the cemetery.

Thinking about it now, I think it's absolute best feature is that it is stable. There's not this constant flow of bullshit "new feature! redesign! experience the new and enhanced look and totally fucked up interface of our new version!" that you get from most other bullshit companies. I love that. It's a great tool, because it's reliable.

Only enhancement I can think of would be some ad-filtering, as a few of my feeds have metastasized "Sponsored" content that must be filtered out before polluting my brain.
Great many of the “proper jobs” are even less socially useful than TikTok. Many of them have negative value, eg working for TSA or dealing debts. We just used to pretend they aren’t.
There is a disturbingly large [or at least vocal enough to imply largeness] section of the British public which reacts apoplectically to any perceived slight upon their beloved royal family.

From an automotive point-of-view TORX like Allen / "inhex" suffers because you can get a bunch of crap in the head and make it easier to get a bad fit with your driver and damage the fastener head. External/female TORX is also problematic because, you guessed it, you can get all sorts of gunk in the splines.

In the UK there is a silent but serious case of people dying from cancers because GP's are refusing to refer anyone to the hospital for checks. The whole situation is deteriorating. It's not just cancers either, it's other types of conditions and even diseases these borderline incompetent GP's are either missing or simple refusing to listen to the patients. You can google any type of combinations of phrases, eg replace cancer with X condition and you'll get countless examples of that too.

For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=people+dying+from+cancer+gp+...

People are literally dying because some GP's just don't give a shit.
These aren’t unique apps though. In my deregulated taxi market all taxi companies (dozens) have Uber functionality where you track cars on maps, pay via app, book rides in the app and so on.

And many of the largest ones use the same app. Because they aren’t in that business, they are in the taxi business. If there is a margin to be found in scheduling or pricing, then their app supplier should provide it.

This is perhaps what Uber should be doing: making the white label apps for local companies doing ride services.

Not sure how many taxi markets are that unregulated that they allow it.

Yep; see my other post. Let me add one to this, perhaps it affects you?

I'm fussy about what I like, I buy a CD, rip, and listen. Usually I want to throw that track away after a few listens. You can't delete the track you are listening to (you can sort of, depending on how you found it via the UI, but usually you can't) so you must remember to delete it at home on your main computer. That's a major feature for me and it messes that up.
I think you are obsessed with ammonia as a fuel source. Ammonia might never make it to peaker plants, nor farm, nor construction equipment.

The sun shines brightly 100% of the time and the wind blows strongly 100% of the time... somewhere. California currently imports electricity from... Wyoming.

With a network of ultra-high-voltage electricity transmission (UHV electricity transmission) lines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-voltage_electricity... throughout the USA, the current concern many engineers seem to have with "the energy storage problem" associated with renewable energy might vanish into irrelevancy.

At 7pm on Tuesday, most of the East Coast might get 80% of its electricity produced by photovoltaics in the Mojave Desert in Nevada; whereas on Wednesday at 2am, Florida might get 90% of its electricity produced from wind generators in Custer County in Oklahoma.

Even if 20% of the electricity were lost due to long-distance transmission, it wouldn't matter much if the electricity were produced extremely inexpensively.

Currently, almost 100% of the aforementioned solar and wind energy are "lost" because almost all of the sunlight in the desert simply lands on the ground, and the wind in the prairies simply blows along without being utilized.

Sure, for airplanes and cargo ships, fuel is important. But for most terrestrial uses (such as in cities and farms) "just in time" electricity might be the best solution.

"But, what about outages?" I'm glad you asked. The military and hospitals have backup diesel generators. Personally, I think "evil" coal-fired power plants might be a feasible source of local, backup electricity which would normally be used very rarely.

The current "anti-coal" bandwagon is absurd. Coal is a great source of fuel. However, much of the world "went crazy" burning way, way, way too much coal for a couple of hundred years. We never should have done that because of the terrible pollution we suffered from.

My favorite things about coal are this: it's very easy to store and very easy to burn.

If people want to store tanks of hydrogen gas in their backyards above ground, or tanks of ammonia underground, that would probably be fine too. But for large scale, backup sources of electricity (say for a city like Portland, Oregon) "evil" coal-fired power plants might be the cheapest and easiest method.

As long as the ultra-high-voltage electricity transmission network has suitable redundancy, is maintained properly, and is not sabotaged (say, by terrorists) then I would guess that within 10 years or so, it would be up over 95% of the time; and within 25 years or so, it would be up over 99% of the time.

$50 after walking off a $1200 flight, $60 upgrade to board early, and $12 in cocktails is not a substantial amount. Plus lunch/dinner on the way to/at the airport for $40. And you're gonna pay $8-12 to get downtown via public transit, then make a transfer to a bus and walk two blocks to your hotel. Fifty bucks for a taxi is a lot, but a rounding error on a transatlantic flight/trip, and will drop you off in front of the hotel, might even carry your bags into the lobby for you, or at least load them onto a luggage cart.

Dr. Carrie Madej nearly died in devastating airplane crash
Hi, this is the author. Thank you both for reading the article and for responding with this information. I have been a long time lurker at HN and when I saw the traffic numbers on my blog I wondered if someone linked to the post here. It has been admittedly gratifying that at least a few people have taken an interest in my weird little musings.

Anyway. If I understand you correctly: at the bottom of it all, there is a thing called an assembler, which is a kind of compiler, that makes the code existing "above" the assembler understandable to the actual hardware.

And I'm guessing there's a reason we don't just have people coding in assembly all the time? Probably it is a huge pain to code at the assembly level? If so -- could you redesign the hardware so it is easier just to code directly, I guess, "on" the hardware? Then you wouldn't have to worry about all these languages talking to each other. Plus, I bet the computer would run faster since you don't have to have it doing as much stuff, right?

Potentially dumb question: for computers that are not electric, like mechanical computers or quantum computers, do you essentially have to make a whole new assembly language?
Could they have offered to pay the tax? Or would that then trigger more tax, creating some kind of infinite loop of gifts and taxes?

Javascript doesn't have integer types, only a 'number' type which is equivalent to a 'double', so even if the clock would use an integer representation internally it would need to be exposed as a floating point value in the WebAudio API.
I would be perfectly happy with robertson if it were the one universal standard, although I would much rather everything be torx.

I do think torx has a few too many sizes. It's already so much better than Phillips, T15 might be fine for the T20 and T25 use cases.

I'm sure there's times you need a T20, but they could be marked as non preferred specialty parts.

Same with the really small torx. T6 seems unnecessary.
Has there ever been a good time for Linux on the desktop? I'm using Linux (Kubuntu) daily, and it works most of the time, but I still see some issues from time to time (multi-monitor strangeness, windows suddenly appearing without frames because kwin crashed, desktop wallpapers not being shown or being shown incorrectly etc.).

This is it for me, I used Apple Music for a few years and eventually I noticed that some of my playlists would have tracks missing - sometimes a listing would be ghosted, sometimes it would straight up vanish. I called time, brought a A50 and haven't looked back: https://chanc.ee/posts/20200830-abandon-stream.html

Granted my music tastes are esoteric but silently modifying my playlists felt grievous. Now I make sure that subscription money goes on supporting artists directly.

Having worked with Kubernetes, it's great - I think even smaller setups can benefit from it and its approach (especially when using a managed provider).

> Should I be disallowed to commercialise it?

I believe you are mis-phrasing the question. What you're actually asking is:

And our answer is "No".

You can go ahead and engage in whatever commercial activity you like, based on open access to your work.

Running a self-hosted Kubernetes is indeed ... questionable, but a managed Kubernetes? That's a pretty sane thing to do IMO. The alternatives are running your Docker containers either manually on some EC2 or other bare-metal server which is a nightmare to do deployments, or using something like Elastic Beanstalk which is even worse.

For me at least, Kubernetes has become something like an universal standard: if you're already running Docker or other containerization, "using Kubernetes" is nothing more than a clear, "single source of truth" documentation on what infrastructure your application expects. Certainly beats that Confluence document from 2018, last updated 2019, on how the production server is set up that doesn't even match up with what was reality in 2020 much less today.
> but probably not applicable in general and likely worse than the market solution.

Worse, for which usecase?

I as a musician like to listen to full albums (as opposed to single songs) I like to manually read up on music and then listen to that specific music from that specific world region and era. Spotify can be neat to discover some starting points for that search, but it is arguably shit at the listening experience I am looking for. For people who don't care so much about what is playing in the background it is certainly doing a good job tho.

I need to listen a lot to mixes and recordings as well, and an MP3 player certainly has an easier UX for that, than the typical phone - plug it in and copy over. How would you do that on spotify? I use a nextcloud sync setup, which works — but setting that up to work flawlessly with your audio-player app (e.g. poweramp) can be a bit tricky at times.

So yeah, Spotify ftw. if you convinced yourself of that peculiar diet, to use your words.
> theoretical stuff about losing access to music

This has happened to me noticeably a bunch of times. It happened on Spotify, which I’ve since switched away from, but it happens on Tidal too (which I use now). I’m not sure if Spotify still has this feature, but Tidal will show me a song “grayed out” if it was on a playlist but it’s unavailable now. It isn’t often, but sometimes songs/albums that I really like just… go away. You wouldn’t always notice, but it is definitely a very real issue!
>If I recall correctly, both GNOME and Unity shared rejection from a number of users

Of course GNOME fanboys complained that someone dared to replace their precious DE with a nicer Qt based one instead of kissing the ass of giant ego GNOME designers. Even when Ubuntu got back to GNOME Canonical listen to the users and put features back in on Ubuntu.

Two choices:

Iterative and incremental, or,
"Rebuild projects"

Tech isn't useful because it's new, and it isn't bad because it's old.

It's a business investment to "solve problems" or "create opportunities" for someone.

"If it ain't broke" yada

I would find what's broken (I can't get enough time to look for potentially better ways for our systems to work because I'm always building forms) and recommend prioritising some of your time per week to identify a solution (I'll spend 1 day per week investigating ways to use greater automation and or lower bespoke effort to build forms) meaning I won't have as much time to do x, y, z.

Then if you find a solution, work out what the first interation would be and guess how long it will take and seek agreement to invest the same or more time per week in implementing it.

Rinse and repeat
