In fact the excellent update story is one reason we regularly recommend angular if the project is important and expected to live longer than just a prototype.

Updates are mostly automatically handled by the cli and there is an excellent accompanying website to explain and help with updates: https://update.angular.io/

I believe that no matter the framework or technology, if you let it rot it will fall apart. So I like to choose easy to maintain options.

I recently started transitioning away from using my phone for everything to having dedicated devices and I quite like it.

I have an Analogue Pocket I buy second-hand game boy cartridges for, I have an e-reader on which I read e-pubs, etc.

The “integration experience” is _a lot_ tougher. I can’t buy games from an App Store and I need to plug in the reader to Calibre to get my next book… but the actual user experience is so much better. I don’t know if it’s the dedicated hardware or the uninterrupted experience or something else… it just lets the content shine through much more clearly.

I’m an app developer and I strongly believed that we can have one device replace pretty much everything else almost perfectly… but now I kinda wanna try having a Walkman and getting rid of Spotify.
Actually, you were the one who taught me this. Please see...

"Also by 2024, the Viking Energy is poised to become the first vessel propelled by ammonia fuel cells...."

Hydrogen and ammonia per se are not very important. What's important is that as a result of cheap, plentiful, renewable energy, a huge opportunity now exists for an efficient and effective means of converting that energy into a useful fuel (or fuels).

Please understand that I’m not arguing that hydrogen, generally, and ammonia, in particular, are bad fuels. They seem to be very promising… today. But I can imagine that they might be replaced in, say, 25 years with “the next big thing.” What’s unlikely to change in, say, 25 years is this: cheap, plentiful, renewable energy.

When looking at energy these days, most engineers and business people are struggling with the following: they are so accustomed to energy being dear (being expensive) that they are having a difficult time wrapping their minds around the new reality. Namely, energy, much like most popular commercial agricultural products in the West from, say, 1650 to 1875, and steel from 1850-1875, and long-distance phone calls from 1985 to 2005, is on the cusp of becoming extremely inexpensive.

One of the results of cheap energy is obvious: energy efficiency will become much less important than it is today.

Imagine if you lived in Phoenix, Arizona. You’d probably be somewhat focused on conserving fresh water because, well, fresh water is expensive there, just as it is in the middle of most hot, arid deserts.

But what if you moved from Phoenix, Arizona to, say, Recife, Brazil? You probably wouldn’t bother much with conserving fresh water because, well, much of the time, you could quench your thirst simply by walking outside, looking up, and opening your mouth. (I’m being facetious).

Collectively, vis-à-vis useful energy, it is as if we were all quickly moving from Phoenix, Arizona to Recife, Brazil.

Of course the Hacker News hoi polloi will need to find a new casus belli once the global warming boogeyman abruptly vanishes ignominiously into the dustbin of history along with their pet energy fantasy, nuucuuler energy (read in the accent of President George W. Bush).

Finally, I’ve become extremely contemptuous of the arrogant and ignorant arguments in favor of nuclear energy on Hacker News that seem to pop up every month or so. These days wind and solar are generally cheaper and easier means of creating useful energy. (Sure, nuclear-powered submarines make sense, but that’s a very small niche case).

Bring on downvotes… cowards!
What's specifically irksome about CRAPL, though? The way I see it is that this at least makes the code available, which is better than nothing.

(NB: Matt refers to this as an open source license)
I think it is. How about organ donations (I know the comparison is a bit of a stretch, but it is the same situation)? The experience in many countries is that many people say they would be donors, but don't actually get a card. If you make it opt-out, you add some friction to not donating, but people still have a say. I like the model in some US states most, where they ask you when you get a drivers license. You can answer yes or no, but you have to answer something. There is no lazy option.

If there is something that gives you an aggregate benefit, but no immediate benefit, and you have to go out of your way to agree, and maybe there is some scary legalese that you have to sign, then most people will just not bother.

I don't mean harmful things like sharing PII with advertizers, political parties, or law enforcement, but only things like censuses, public transportation statistics, application crash analytics.

Thanks for the info. I’m suspicious of every service which is not upfront about pricing. I couldn’t find anything on the linked website regarding what to expect to eventually pay.

Instead, a large “sign up” button. Which, from experience, usually means that a company is interested in gathering user data beyond providing the advertised service.

Excellent. I hope more and more people start to see how absurd and evil the concept of "intellectual property" is. It should be totally rejected and any form of keeping useful information for yourself should be shunned and tabooized. In todays world, many have been programmed to believe that the would could not exits without such immoral restrictions, which is horrible.
That precludes reusing existing infrastructure at the same pressures as today, though. For the same pressure, H2 will leak worse than natural gas.

And it's not just a pressure problem, either: embrittlement will happen at room temperature and pressure, just through diffusion.
pozidriv practically doesn't exist outside Europe. It still requires proper down pressure which sometimes (ladders) is hard to come by.

I prefer (inner) hex for bolts and torx for screws. Torx is ok for bolts too (mostly m4/m5). Standard hex is fine for wood anchors as well. A rather important downside of torx: you can put a smaller torx driver - say T15 in T20 (and esp. T8 and in T10) - that ruins both the bit and the screw head. Hex doesn't suffer from that issue.
I still don't get it. If I assume that Typescript compiler is the slowest component in the build pipeline, and run it in a separate thread, that still means I have to wait for the tsc to complete. There is little to no benefit in all the other stuff being finished faster; that will be optimizing the 5%, while my main time is wasted in the 95% of the tsc compiler process. At least to my experience, for sufficiently large projects, tsc becomes super slow.
Many possible reasons.

Eg Ryanair operates a completely uniform fleet, 100% 737s, and their current operating model relies on all of their pilots and crew being able to operate whatever aircraft is available. Adding a few airbuses means a split fleet, causing significant logistical and training costs. And their customers are evidently happy to prioritize flight cost over their aversion to the 737max, so why would they switch?

Also, an aircraft being on the market doesn't mean you can actually order one and get it anytime soon. Airbus has like a 10-year backlog for A32x deliveries.
Vertical farming is incredibly inefficient. You need massive amounts of real estate where land is expensive, you need fusion reactors as an energy source and it doesn't even compare to the space and energy efficiency of using bioreactors for artificial starch synthesis.

Redacted ("RED") is probably the best place to be nowadays for general music. It is where the majority of people ended up after What.CD, one of the earlier trackers, closed.

They have a ton of lossless audio, and you generally have choice in terms of which version of something you would like (e.g., an older release, if you don't like the remasters [1], or want specific deluxe/international editions -- Japanese CDs often come with bonus tracks). They also have very helpful curated collections of similar music and such.

Plus, having a RED account tends to help serve as a way to get to other trackers (of course, you should genuinely use the site rather than collecting accounts, etc.). RED is also unique compared to a lot of other decent trackers in that they don't require you to be invited by someone else or already have an account on another site; you can sign up by doing a short interview on their IRC [2]. Worth noting, though, that it'd be best to do it on a Friday night or something when you'd have time to waste; all of these sites are run by volunteers, so it can be a few hours of idling before you'd actually get a chance to sign-up.

For East Asian music, like K-pop, J-pop, J-rock, etc., Jpopsuki has the most extensive collection. SugoiMusic is another one, but I haven't checked it out very much.

And although it is primarily an eBook site, MyAnonamouse ("MAM") has a fair bit of sheet music, plus they also do IRC sign-ups.

Other than that, though, Orpheus ("OPS") is another decent music tracker. But realistically, RED tends to have much more available. However, I do think it's a cool site and I do respect how transparent they are, with even the site being open-source [3].

most ISPs dont, having many dhcp servers and not having developers is not completely trivial to parse the logs and put in some database, or just add some tooling to isc-dhcpd

RIPE makes it basically mandatory to use dhcp in order to recive ip space, even though in most places it is completely useless since 2010, you save maybe 5% because literally nobody turns off their routers

also of course because there is no ip space now, admins put small lease times like 1 hour, or sometimes even less, so you have constant influx of logs and updates

i can imagine those scripts are buggy, misread timestamps and etc

Incerto by Nassim Taleb. Best piece of work I've ever read. I'm re-reading it, and still... what a masterpiece, a mind-blowing piece of work. Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, and Antifragile remain my "Holy Trinity" of books. You just couldn't stop reading them.
Okay, so go break it, since it's so easy :)

People routinely say that "a formally verified program is only as good as its specification!" but many fewer people actually go on to demonstrate that they can break said programs, assuming that this is simply "a matter of engineering" which is not in fact the case.

I'm also not sure what Gödel has to do with any of this, as most specification languages are not Turing-complete (unless this is some oblique statement about the metalogic in which case... again, show me your proof of false :)).
I have reoccurring nightmares about this town and what happened there. It’s like something out of a science fiction novel.
I keep two (a 5" Knipex and an 8" Irwin) in my ~~tool~~ bags. (The small one in my everyday backpack and the bigger one in my toolbag.) They're much smaller and lighter than a set of wrenches.

They're also useful as parallel clamps/pinchers/vices. I've used them to (un)seat many press-fit parts like bike chain pins, small bearings, and shaft keys.
Curiosity is cultivated. I found that certain YouTube channels, podcasts and books have done a lot to cultivate mine. Surely you’re joking, Mr Feynman is a book that shows you how curiosity is rewarded.

I think that curiosity comes from appreciation. A car isn’t just a car once you understand how it works. A walk in the forest isn’t the same once you learn a bit about plants or pay attention to birdsong. Once you start sketching, art galleries come to life.

One thing I did was to have a todo list for things I don’t understand. For a while, I was reading about rainbows, doppler radars, transmissions, countries, plants etc. It might have been forced curiosity, but it planted seeds for genuine curiosity.

I have also read that sketching is the art of noticing, more so than photography. Stopping to notice things is important.

Eclipse normally use its own compiler, JDT Core, which support many features Oracle JDK doesn't.

Airports make 2/3rds of their money by renting space to shops, and the remaining third by allowing planes to fly. They have a strong incentive to be inefficient, so you will feel you need to arrive 2 hours before departure, or even more, because you don't want to risk losing your flight.

I flew ~1,000 times, and saw ~300 airports. I could write tens of books on how to make airports better... But the problem is that the incentives are such that this is not the way to go. Airports want to make money by selling you stuff. Period. They don't care about giving you a great experience.
Security lines can make or break airports imo. LAX is nice because there are so many of them so they never get as absurd like they do at say DEN. Another perk to LAX is how fast you can get to and from your gate. It feels like 7 smaller airports wired in series versus some hulking ginormous beast. You can get off your flight and have your bag in hand in 10 minutes at LAX. At DEN you are waiting on a tram to get to baggage and I've gotten lost trying to find my correct carousel at that airport. It's basically impossible to get lost on the way to your bags at lax otoh, because once again 7 smaller airport effect in action means the baggage carousel is not a far walk from your gate.
Well it depends on the material really. You can take a good photo on a phone and a crappy one on a DSLR. You can listen to crap music on a dedicated audio player too…

The prefix delegated to you does change in many consumer ISP setups, like the upthread poster reported and I've seen in many cases in well, I think repeating your assertion doesn't really advance your argument.

Are you thinking of a scenario where the ISP customers share a single prefix? This would be contrary to all the estabilished best practices and deployment guidance for IPv6 since it wouldn't let you easily subnet. And may get the ISP in trouble with your RIR since it's just extorting customers for access to v6 addresses.
T6 and T8 are actually quite common (T5 less so), yet T10 is far from the smallest one being widely used.

Side note: mistakenly using a smaller torx driver demolishes both the screw head and the driver... and it usually fits well.

I'd _very_ lightly push back on that for a posidrive, but it has a lot of asterisks. IF you can keep enough pressure on a posi, I've not seen issues. but if you can't it's failure case approaches the dreaded Phillips. And "enough pressure" is in the range of 170lbs of dude pushing down for really difficult situations in my experience, so yeah, "*"s abound.

This was a time me and my partner spent far too much effort building contraptions to try and stay cool. Sucking colder air from the apartment hallways, converting a single-hose portable A/C into a dual, and others.

But an especially effective project was an experiment to determine exactly what window covering would reduce heating from direct sunlight the most. We could only cover the inside of windows, and I had assumed aluminum foil would work best, but wasn’t sure.

I set up a test of various materials and stuck them to my window with a thermoprobe and some insulation. I tested printer paper, various foils, and plastics.

Plain old white printer ended up performing the best, and aluminum foil being significantly worse. Best part about paper was it still let a lot of visible light in, while reflecting IR.

Hope this helps someone a summer heats up again!

There should be a fine line in intellectual property rights. I see where you are coming from - quite often intellectual property is used a a moat to protect insane revenues and, as a repercussion, delay or slowdown our progress as humanity.

But it is also use to protect unique creator revenue and encourage to create more.

If you ask where the fine line should be I have no immediate answer, but abolishing intellectual property rights just like enforcing them at all costs doesn't seem to be the optimal course of action to me.

This is good advice, but it should probably be extended by saying that the VPN you chose matters. At least around here many VPN are just as inclined to share your internet usage with law enforcement and/or the law firms sending out those letters as ISPs are.

So you gotta make sure you use a VPN that doesn’t out you to the authorities, and, can’t be made to do so.
