Wrong.

Czech Republic is a shall issue country in the heart of otherwise gunless Europe.

500 year long gun tradition. The only two times gun ownership/carry was suspended during those 500 years was under Nazi and Soviet occupation.

Even foreigners from friendly nations can obtain a permit and carry, not even the USA doesn’t do it.

Self-defence with deadly force enshrined in the constitution.

Lower homicide rates than gunless Asia.

Every gun permit is also automatically a concealed carry permit, again, not even the USA doesn’t allow in every state.

20% of parliamentarians carry weapons to the Parliament.

This is a country in Europe.

DNS SRV records were designed for that. SIP makes heavy use of them; for example:

_sip._tls.example.com SRV 5 100 5060 sip.example.com.

That means that TLS-protected SIP is on port 5060 on sip.example.com. In theory you can do this for http/https as well, but in practice, unfortunately, browsers don't do SRV lookups.
I've used both WinDVD and CyberLink PowerDVD. They are AFAIK the only "official" ways to play Blu-rays on Windows. PowerDVD is IMO better. Most Blu-rays don't support using the mouse for menus because they are BD-Js. It's not a great experience and a decent player like a PS3 is a better option.

Old news, but personally interesting because I spent some time working at the labs up there. The building I worked in was across the street from where the meltdown occurred. Even the building I was in had a history of nuclear accidents (at least three that required cleanup). Nobody ever used the tap water there for anything other than flushing a toilet. Boeing got the property when it acquired Rocketdyne. Boeing was stupid to not recognize the huge liability it took on.
How user-hostile. With all this cloud nonsense the need for effort and funding in open-source CAD is greater than ever.
I eat a plant-based diet but I don’t have an ethical problem with buying used wool sweaters or used leather belts/shoes. Also if a cookie or something is free or going to waste, I won’t ask if it has egg or milk in it as an ingredient.

So no, not vegan.
Modern libertarianism in a nutshell:

I have the right to maximize my short-term gains, but if the consequences catch up to me, I will demand subsidies and bailouts from the same society I totally don't participate in.
At a possibly serialized boundary sure. That doesn't mean I don't work with graphs, though, just that I guess I don't expect graphs to be entirely reified in memory at all times if I'm going to duck type walk through them. We all have different habits, of course.
The main problem is that -- especially with laser fusion-- you are not inputting 1 unit of electricity and getting out 1.2 units of high grade heat. You are inputting 100 units of electricity, most of which is lost as low grade heat through wires, cooling devices, etc to power a laser that outputs 1 unit of photons. The fusion adds a bit of energy, but not enough to surpass the 100 units you put in. I don't know the exact efficiency of these lasers, so 100x may be wrong, but I think I'm in the right order of magnitude.
I have been working on a problem

Very interesting, I was not aware one could (or even would want to) store JSON data in a relational database...

The JSON alias was added in MariaDB 10.2.7. This was done to make
it possible to use JSON columns in statement based replication
from MySQL to MariaDB and to make it possible for MariaDB to read
mysqldumps from MySQL.

JSON is an alias for LONGTEXT introduced for compatibility
reasons with MySQL's JSON data type. MariaDB implements this
as a LONGTEXT rather, as the JSON data type contradicts the
SQL standard, and MariaDB's benchmarks indicate that performance
is at least equivalent.

In order to ensure that a valid json document is inserted, the
JSON_VALID function can be used as a CHECK constraint. This
constraint is automatically included for types using the JSON
alias from MariaDB 10.4.3.[1]

> The current results are thus tantalizingly close to achieving unit gain—at the current rate of improvement, I expect this to happen within the next couple of years.

Does anyone have a graph of the rate of improvement? I'm curious.

> But for a fusion reactor to be commercially viable and deliver a sizeable amount of electricity to the grid, much higher gains (of order 100) are needed to compensate for the wall-plug efficiency of the laser and for the losses in energy collection and in the electricity production and distribution system.

Can anyone ELI8 why it needs to be 100? That seems excessive. IIUC, almost all the heat (at Fusion temps) can be turned to electricity. IIUC only about 5% of energy is lost during transfer. Is ~90% of power really being lost somewhere else? And if so, where!? This seems like a problem more easily solved than Fusion...

In my naive mind - G of even 2 seems like literally a money printing machine... I get it - a ridiculously expensive money printing machine to build. Does it print dollars fast enough to pay for building it, and maintaining it, etc...

The perils of SaaS strike again. It used to be that you bought a license, and then the software was yours to use eternally thereafter with zero external dependencies.

When will the users learn that SaaS means the software can change at any time out of your control, up to and including not functioning at all, and you will not be able to do anything about it?

Or will their minds continue to be "clouded" by the corporate propaganda?

I think the question of why people will willingly "build on a shaky foundation" is appropriate, especially given the type of software this is.

Ask HN: Are electric leaf blowers being adopted, maybe in Europe?
Current leaf blower equipment are so loud and run on gas. So they cause noise and air pollution.

Seems like a good case for governments to incentivize more green tech thru electric leaf blowers.

Side note:
[In the Bay Area] The frequency of leaf blowers seemed overkill (2 times per week). So I reached to the apartment manager.

According to the management:
"Please note the city is in charge of the landscapers and has its set schedule and requirements in order for our community to meet the city guidelines of acceptable apartment living."

Kinda surprising that the city is involved.

> Anyone aware of other companies doing this or something similar?

Samsung Austin Semiconductor used to have an "eat lunch with the president" program where groups of four or five from each department would each lunch with the president at least once a year. Obviously nowhere near as immersive as this program, but still having the opportunity to ask several off-the-cuff questions like, "Why did Samsung choose Austin?" definitely added value for me.
Pretty much discussion about make as a task runner, and maybe the following is just a very specific use case: make test

I combined learning make with learning TDD, or rather develope some individual style of TDD. I am astonished how effective make is in a rapidly evolving code base with not insificant amounts of unit, component and integration tests. That said I try hard to use the makefiles both, heavily recursive and highly structured.

Of course, I am learning, so my set up is far from optimal. But wow.... Makefiles are so powerful for testing. Its amazing. On the other hand, that the first time I am properly using a build system.
I don't think I implied that. How many undocumented immigrants in the US do you think are not Latino?
I'm wondering about that too. The object looks remarkably similar to some photos of the Cairngorms I've seen, but I don't know if there's a way for the geography and atmospheric conditions to create such an illusion in this case.
Since you need physical access, it's plus the cost of the dish and one month of service, either by stealing or buying them.

The former would be quite illegal and difficult to scale, the latter would be quite expensive.
Did google and didn't find it. Maybe my Google fu just isn't as advanced as yours. Then again, why not just include the link?

It turns out the key here is to use "Abraham" not "Avi" in the search. The latter returns crapola and the former yields your link a few hits down.

Don't worry about lack of pictures (there actually are some figures), I'm pretty good at this English thing. Turns out the object was quite small:

> Given the impact speed of the meteor, ∼ 44.8 km s−1, and the total impact energy, 4.6 × 1018 ergs, the meteor mass was approximately 4.6 × 105 g. Assuming bulk density values of 1.7 g/cm3 and 0.9 g/cm3 for Type II and Type IIIa objects respectively, we obtain a radius, R, of 0.4m – 0.5m for a spherical geometry (Ceplecha 1988; Palotai et al. 2018).

The small size of the object was something the article didn't address.

I do have enormous respect for the art though.
There are electrostatic MEMs devices so it would scale well with a flexible material and the dielectric inserted in some way. These smaller devices are lower voltage (90-100V versus 6-10kV in the above) and require the use of a converter. The current is virtually zero for both though.
Same for me, but about 7 years.

Ah that makes sense. I had no idea the lasers were that inefficient. Still it's not an inherent feature of the problem. But maybe getting the fusion reaction to self-sustain is the easier thing to solve.
I really like their software concept, I saw the link you posted in the past and it disturbs me. I wish they would address the elephant in the room.

I eat salt regularly, so probably not, and I can eat other (softer) cheeses, and I can eat potato chips but not flavored ones with MSG (this was actually how I discovered MSG might be a trigger). So I am very confident that it has to do with glutamate.
StatefulSets are introduced as "when you need persistent storage" and not a lot more than that. A key idea that is often skipped is that k8s doesn't want to presume how a cluster of "database" nodes ("database" in the wide sense, including RMQ, Redis etc) coordinate their HA.

So when a k8s node dies with a sts on it, unlike other pods, the sts pod is NOT recreated (not wanting to interfere with whatever mechanism the db cluster has to deal with it). I've found most people working with k8s don't know about this behaviour.
This is way off-topic, but . . .

You can create a Rubocop check that will complain abuot method_added and method_undefined. And to show that you know that you're calling them even though they're forbidden, just make a comment to tell Ruboocop to ignore. And make sure commits are code-reviewed, of course.

The freedom to posses and share knowledge is much more libertarian than socialist.

In socialism the key difference is that those corporations are now government entities backed by the power of the gocernrather than only the power of the market.

The fact that it's likely to be pre-installed on any given linux machine is a huge plus.

The L.A. Times reported yesterday that Boeing seems to have dodged its cleanup problems by entering into a conservation easement on the site. That might be why this old news is cropping up on HN today.
this is a huge part of it. I was a dork in high school and the Internet let me connect to communities of people all over the world and make relationships I wouldn't have had otherwise, and all of it was just cool as shit. nobody cared who you were in real life or what your social status or physical appearance there was, people were just handles creating and playing and talking about stuff together. it was great. I joined a group of kids making a far-too-ambitious Game Maker game and became close friends with one guy, and we IMed almost nightly on MSN for like a year before he even mentioned that his skin tone was different than mine. none of that shit mattered at all, and it felt like the future.

then social media and smartphones happened and celebrities and normies immigrated en masse, bringing their preconceived notions of meatspace social norms along with them. remember when nobody ever publicly whined about "harassment" and "death threats" aimed their way by pseudonymous Internet users, because that kind of just came with the territory and you got used to it and it didn't affect you after awhile? I sure as hell didn't use my real name as my handle back then, you'd be crazy to do so. then celebrities got on Twitter and the masses of iPhone owners followed and all of that went away—cyberspace and meatspace merged together, and meatspace brought all the baggage we had been so happy to leave behind in with it.

then Denny's hired a social media intern to post on tumblr and through the dark magic of this new, normie Internet, corporations became People, Too, because see they post to the Internet with memes and support for social causes just like you and me!, and any hope of the libertarian hacker future was forever shattered. it was fun while it lasted though.

Czech Republic has had a gun tradition for ~500 years.

Homicide rates are lower than in over-regulated nearby Germany and quite a few other European countries. It’s even lower than some famously entirely gunless Asian countries.

> If MAD is disrupted by groundbreaking tech, and if this technology would significantly boost strike capabilities and possibly render nuclear weapons useless, then the rival nations would be forced to exercise a nuclear strike preemptively to ensure their security to prevent a war they would inevitably lose.

As of now, a nuclear war would result in two losers anyway, that's the whole point of MAD. Doing a preemptive strike would just create a massive problem where there might never be one. The only reason to attack would be if you already plan on kamikaze-by-nuke.

It's intellectually dishonest to refer to either of those positions as "left" or "right," but at the same time, we have to admit that a lot of people who call themselves "libertarians" aren't actually.
