> Unless you're in a condo/apartment building where it's often 208V, not 240V.

208V (vs 220/230/240V) has minimal to do with it being a condo and everything to do with the type of incoming power. 208V is from taking two phases of a 120V three phase service. One phase to ground, 120V, phase to phase, 208V. For the alternative voltage (named 220/230/240V depending on context), the incoming power to the transfer is a single phase. The transformer then produces a split phase 220/230/240V where each phase is 180° opposite each other. The only reason you _might_ see it more frequently at a condo/apartment is due to there being a need or desire for 3 phase power.
> The Holy Roman Empire was a pale shadow of the glory that was Rome. But still effective, mind you, give the times many centuries after the fall of Rome.

Sigh ... Don't use history analogies if you get them wrong.
> in order to maintain the roughly half/half two party system

This is obviously untrue because, at least in the US, the conservative party has been the minority party since 1992.

> The Prius is not a "conservative", "woman", "white", "middle-aged" or whatever automobile, though there may be some correlations.

That's correct, but there is a subset of the right wing in the US that disagrees. They're the people who "roll coal" for example.

This article is clearly targeted at a conservative audience. There are no liberals who are concerned about whether the Prius is appropriate for conservatives or not. They want conservatives to drive hybrids and electric cars.
Well, that really is just technicality, is it? We could call it recession now, and later correct it, if data show something else.

I am worried we will get another wave of censorship about "recession conspiracy".
But once you have a family, that's just not factored into the price. If at about a family of 4 (mine's 5), public transport becomes more expensive than driving a car and renting parking even to go into the city center. Frankly, in the suburbs a car is cheaper even for 1 person. There are some other usable ways to get around (electric scooters, the kind you sit down on) are becoming popular for a good reason.

So I wonder about this increased efficiency. Most modes of transportation, as well as rental prices, are priced per-person. A car helps enormously, especially as the number of people increases. Plus cheaper groceries, cheaper access to everything from furniture to woods, ...

If there's any truth to capitalism, efficiency, when it comes down to it, is price. So for families, even small ones, I think we're dismissing the idea that suburbs are the most efficient possible too quickly.
Even without regulation, there's another aspect to know of: how to use the features of your calculators. If your teacher doesn't know the model, you'll be left learning both new class concepts, and new calculator features on your own. It's entirely doable (I always had my casio graph calculator manual with me through the end of high school), but needs more effort.
> Well your past history of housing problems would suggest your optimism here is misplaced

Who is 'you' in that sentence? I can see that I have optimism, but what's my past history of housing problems?

And what makes you so sure that those past problems were caused by not enough regulation? (Instead of eg too much regulation, the wrong kind of regulation, or they might have nothing to do with regulation at all.)

> If you can pick a property based on the reputation of the builder than you're already in a class above most people.

Huh? It's always a trade-off. All else being equal, I'd grab a house from a builder (or landlord) with a great reputation before one without a reputation or even a bad reputation. I might even pay a bit extra for a great reputation.

Your argument would apply equally well to jobs: people need a job just as much as they need housing. Yet, employers with great reputation still find it easier to attract good applicants than those with lousy reputations.

> I know you want to believe that a free market fixes all of life's problems but it's really not that simple.

Who said that? Huh?

I suggested that in this specific case more regulation is not required.

The free market won't get you a girlfriend, for example. But neither would any sensible regulation.

> We have much stricter regulations in Europe and it doesn't harm our commerce. So you absolutely can have a vibrant market and regulations to protect consumers.

You know that European real GDP per capita is quite a lot lower than in the US? (You can pick almost any European country. Or pick the average etc.)

And the US is also still pretty overregulated.

I grew up in Germany, but put my money where my mouth is, and now live in rather more pro-market Singapore.
Better that elderly folks stuck at home should be shut out of major activities of life?
Strangely, not. Water + air + electric in, NH3 + O2 out.
Yes, but none of them are competitive. With Modern CPU you need Memory with ultra high bandwidth, which no persistent memory offers. With low latency storage it doesn't compete against Z-NAND or SLC NAND with special tuning.
I'm less surprised about the fact that JS can be fast, and more that a vanilla trie can be fast and (hopefully) resource-efficient; I had the impression that any scalable index would need to compact the trie in some manner (i.e. combining multiple characters in one node) or do other algorithmic improvements that I don't know about. (That's why I looked at the code, to find those -- but I didn't really find any)
Capn'Proto isn't that bad. I've used the C++ quite a bit, and while the authors code style isn't to my taste it's fairly well designed (nice layering that lets you implement different use cases, like integrating the RPC framework with your own event loop).

There's also not much out there comparable to its capability passing RPC either.

Agree on the zero copy though, and the RPC framework does malloc a lot.
It’s an impossible situation. Account security reset processes are the number one target for most account takeovers.
It looks like the librarian's letter is from July 2021. So, the frustrated librarian raised this issue more than a year ago.

Another anecdote about the original Asteroids machines- the dynamic brightness of the vector displays added a great effect: the asteroids themselves were sort of grayish lines with very sharp, crisp edges, but shots fired from alien spaceships were searingly bright, and would and up also exciting the phoshor around the shot itself, lending a bit of a halo effect.

For better or worse, "X has died" is some kind of standard on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=%22has+died%22
I agree with you that Hydrogen can do that. Or that at least it stands a chance.

Both nuclear and Hydrogen are unproven at this point, for the scale we need. Europe has chosen to bet it all on Hydrogen. Although, in the last one year France decided to get back in the game of building nuclear. I see no talk of Hydrogen in the US.
being license free is a huge selling point though. arm makes over 1 billion usd in license fees per year. is riscv reaches anything like comparable maturity to arm, there are a lot of companies that would rather not pay their slice of that billion.

> Are there good equivalent ad networks like AdSense for newsletters

My experience has been "no".

I don't know of any networks that do newsletter ad placements; our placements have all been direct with the publisher. Some publishers have more than one newsletter so you can get some scale with them, but it's still direct discussion with the publisher.
It is a lot of work. But having not really done it myself would they not already have most of this? At least one would hope they would?
They need to have that sort of documentation internally anyway for their macOS devs to work on it, right?
From that point of view yes, I do agree.

Although I still think Active Oberon is the best descendant from original Oberon, I am not a fan of the minimalist design Wirth persued afterwards.

In any case, Oberon's best days are behind it, hence why I would rather see some Go inspired approach to those ideas, even if I am not a big fan of Go's design.
> Sadly I do not see the UK/AU/NZ/CAN creating their own Constitutions.

Australia and Canada both have constitutions (I don't know about the Canadian one, but the Australian one was definitely written by Australians), and while NZ doesn't have a codified constitution it does have several treaties and laws which effectively form a constitution in all but name (in particular they have the concept of entrenched laws which require more than a simple majority in parliament to amend -- though as far as I can tell, not all laws considered part of the New Zealand Constitution are entrenched). I don't know what gave you the impression we don't have a constitution.

> No matter which crazies are elected, they face an extreme uphill battle to remove basic rights.

In Australia it's even harder to change the constitution, so if that's something you like then you should love the Australian Constitution even more! You need a double majority of the public to vote in favour of the change in a nationwide referendum. In the US, the constitution can be changed without any public votes or input at all (since it only requires state legislatures to ratify the amendment).
No, that isn't correct. Still it's a moot point. Feel free to either change my example from Ukraine to a hypothetical larger area if you care, or change large to regional scale — regardless 'if there is military action that could affect nuclear plants it will involve nuclear weapons and kill us anyway' is a poor argument.
Perhaps it will be the expensive choice, but I expect batteries produced for cars to be moved to grid storage when any given vehicle's capacity drops below the level useful for transport, and the combined capacity of the reused batteries of a fully-electric-car-nation, even with those batteries in a worn state, will suffice for grid storage.

My guess is this transition will take 15-20 years to complete, but I have low certainty on that.

Google has basically made 2FA mandatory if you have set-up an Android phone, which doesn't even prompt to back up recovery codes.
I agree with your suggestion. I think Post Offices, DMVs, and large reputable retailers (Walmart, Target, Cellular Phone companies, etc.) could verify our identities for a small fee and help us reset our social accounts when needed. I arrived at the same conclusion and wrote a blog post about it a few years ago:

i suspect that basic digital identity and messaging services will eventually be operated by governments. similar to how many major urban transportation systems were adopted and then glued together to provide subsidized public services.
I think that the claim of left-wing bias in academia, news media, etc. is true, but not nearly as much as right-wingers say it is. I also don't find it hard to believe that Republicans have lied more often than Democrats in the past decade, but probably not as much as PolitFact says they do.
I've signed up for a few pre-launch subscriptions as I know I woulnd't remember to check back and have found that extremely useful.
Weird to blame Google for the government's refusal to provide basic services like telephony to its residents. Why doesn't the library provide a SIM with every library card, and store it at the front desk?

Or, you know, an email account with its own security policies? I got my first ever Unix shell account from a library.
I think the Wikipedia article shows that the original importance of the Fresnel integral is in optics. It's also a precursor to the Feynman path integral way of thinking.

Yes, they are definitely only talking about New York City itself and not the surrounding metro area. People mostly refer to the surrounding areas by other names, e.g. county names like Nassau County.

And even within the city, there are less-walkable areas, although for the most part there is bus coverage and sidewalks everywhere.
Firstly, I agree with your points here.

And while other comments here have pointed out that not all hardware is supported yet (a valid criticism), I feel it's also important to note that the current user experience of Asahi on Apple Silicon is stellar (as has been since it was released in Alpha).

I've been using Asahi for over 3 months now as my daily driver to do real development work (https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/asahi-linux/), and everything I need is there, and fast. Consequently, I'm not surprised Linus is doing the same.
Another solution to this problem would be competition. If there were a workable alternative to Gmail that had account recovery mechanisms better suited for this population than the librarian could simply recommend that for their patrons.

Iframes can be blocked quite easily from the origin, so it’s only a solution as long as they deem it to be.

Plenty of comments wondering if you need all of these features to build good docs. You don’t. What you might find is that once you’ve built a good docs site, you need a small customisation. Maybe an in-line code sample runner. Maybe you’d like to make it more SEO friendly. Or search.

Again, any of these features can be built. If you enjoy building just what you need, go ahead.

What Docusaurus offers is all of these features pre-built. You’ll have access to the solution as soon as you encounter the problem.
There was a recent article on setting up Nix on mac OS, but I found that approach too complicated to my liking.

This has been an issue for years. (I've worked in libraries, including public ones, on and off since 2004).

It's not just a GOOG problem. In fact, Yahoo makes me want to show up and yell at some business people: They lock people out of their accounts and then CHARGE THEM TO CALL IN and fix it. Another general issue is how much of this population uses/sticks with old products: There is a large number of Yahoo, AOL, and Hotmail addresses still being used, as well as old ISP mailboxes.
How does it compare to other alternatives like vitepress, astro?

There’s a really important side problem with having the judiciary enforce quite deep and complex rights and limits on government. It is that the court develops into a really contentious institution making huge political choices that get infused by default with the hallmarks of legal necessity, and eventually the people wonder why the judges themselves aren’t politically accountable. And then they start electing politicians to put judges in who will decide their way. We do not have that problem in Australia, at least it is barely a speck in our history of judicial appointments. The US is presently in the throes of a judiciary rolling back rights that were thought to be set in stone, because people elected a president who promised to appoint judges to do just that. If you politicise a large part of the work of a court, you then open it up to populist capture. That’s when the courts start inventing theories to keep their benefactors in power.

You can complain about parliamentary sovereignty all you like (for us it’s only the states that have plenary legislative power though!) but damn, at least the people deciding about abortion rights etc on our behalf aren’t life appointments set to last 30+ years. If we don’t like what’s happening, we can change the government in 6 weeks start to finish.
This only makes sense if they got into legal problems with a powerful entity which would have raised issues with software patents or copyright on the Our Machinery engine.

While it is not the law, it is the only reasonable attempt to solve dependency issues. If the software gets an major release when author feels like it, then version itself tells nothing about the changes. Then dependant software can never estimate the impact of update. I agree that Linux Kernel is a bit different, since it sits on top of everyrhing, but still.
And this is more likely to happen to the poor since they're going to have Lifeline Assistance phones, which are all shitty Android phones. (I had a couple and keep them as burners but they're crap.)
The closest thing to an authority on what is open source is OSI. Open Source doesn't have a fuzzy definition, except where people would like the definition widened to fit their marketing needs.
> it seems like MacBooks could easily end up becoming the laptop of choice for Linux developers in the years to come.

Having used MacBook Pro 14" with an M1 Max for ~6 months, I'd really wonder which developer submits themselves to such a glare-emitting screen and crappy keyboard (and potentially imprinting their palms/wrists on the sharp front edge), if you can get a Thinkpad X1 Carbon for much less?

Sure, performance was slightly better than the latest X1 Carbon, and battery life was significantly better, but if I am undocked for a prolonged period, that screen and keyboard make it very unpleasant to use. If I needed more performance, I'd go for a desktop or a workstation-type Thinkpad laptop, though I'd lose on the portability (though MacBook Pros — including 14" — are heavy as well).

Yeah I think the FSF sees significant differences between Free Software and Open Source, in terms of the essential liberties that are not present in Open Source (different things missing in different understandings, but the FSF focuses on the fact that they are missing).

Although I’m no fanatical Stallmanite (Stallmanist? :), I do see the categorical distinctions clear as day; can’t understand why Open Source people play the willful ignorance card.

Free Software is good for people primarily, while Open Source is good for corporations primarily.

If people ignore FS and promote OS, what does that tell us about their intentions?

I remember playing with the OS X Beta. We'd install it on a friends Powerbook G3 and after a couple days go back to OS 9 because it was so much faster and it didn't use all your memory.

Not too soon after that, I bought a Powerbook G4. 867MHz, and Mac Mall doubled the RAM back then so I had 256 or 512MB, I forget. It was still pretty slow and after fumbling around with it for a few months, I sold it. Was nice for playing with iMovie using a Firewire VHS-C camera, though.

Then around 2006, a friend purchased one of the first Intel MacBook models. We had fun trying to get all of his old PowerPC era stuff working on it. It was still slow, and hot.

Finally, in 2010 I bought a 13" MacBook Pro and was in love ever since. Not sure how everyone else stuck around so long.

Well again, countries can choose between the non-fossil fuel options. I strongly doubt that nuclear powers will effect the choice in any major way. The biggest factor will be price.

Either renewable + storage will be cheaper, renewables + nuclear power, or renewables and dependency on trade, or renewable + nuclear + storage + trade.

Yes, governments are keen for this not to happen. Gas, oil and coal is still much cheaper than any of the alternatives listed above. Energy prices in Europe as can be seen here (https://tradingeconomics.com/euro-area/energy-prices), are crazy high. It is expected to climb further as gas and oil prices continue to rise. Governments will step in and subsidize whatever they can to prevent a catastrophic collapse of the grid.

Gas, oil and coal still need to stay in the ground. The green movement could easily stop being fragmented by joining behind that statement, but for some it is more important to be anti-nuclear than keeping gas, oil and coal from being burned. They can continue to be anti-nuclear for as much I care as long they don't advocate to keep gas, oil and coal power plants operational. Thus we need a law that sets a specific date when gas, oil and coal is no longer allowed in the grid.
