Thanks for liking me. One thing that motivates me when developing software is helping other people. That is why I am quite happy with my current job at Bond3D.com where I contribute to a dedicated slicer in close cooperation with it users, my colleagues as Process development and Application. An important part of my work is understanding their problems and thinking about ways to solve them in cooperation with my other colleagues at software development.
Seems like this has all been a show and that the SLS was never expected to launch
Further, I find myself questioning whether this meeting even happened. This reads like scenario invented so the author could get paid for a "think" piece.

Are you Japanese and do you speak the language? Why are you set on going there so quickly? Are you intending to go there for a short time or going there permanently? Absolutely zero offense intended, I think Japan is amazingly great too.

It's just I've seen a lot of nerdy types sort of romanticize this vision of Japan that they have. From what I've seen, a lot of people who make this sort of move have this idea that going there will solve some of their problems, but end up in an even worse situation.

My point is not that they had an obligation to continue to have a business relationship with KF, but that if they chose to terminate the relationship, they had an obligation to do so in a responsible way.

> Over the last two weeks, we have proactively reached out to law enforcement in multiple jurisdictions highlighting what we believe are potential criminal acts and imminent threats to human life that were posted to the site.

In other words, they had plenty of time to give KF notice and terminate the relationship. This didn't even have to stop them from contacting law enforcement. But they did something else instead.
Let's be fair... 99% of your users will never find your app if it's not directly on the play store.
My impression is that prepping is about the future, in the same way that science fiction is about the future. It's about the here and now. It also involves a social consensus about what's going to happen, that isn't necessarily grounded in reality. For instance there's no reason to believe that warp drive will be achieved, but it's a necessary plot device in most sci-fi movies.
> Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower.

IPA probably doesn’t work like you think it does. I also had this misconception that it was a “universal alphabet,” but apparently even linguists have to learn subsets of IPA in order to properly pronounce phonemes in different languages.
There was also the issue of bundling Windows with PCs, and that even by BeOS 5 several features were still WIP, and the final nail being Apple went for NeXT instead.
I bet most of them will cancel their participation in the program as fast as possible. Yes, they were aware of the consequences, but most people tend to believe that that won't happen because we live in a reasonable world.
The article isn't bad, but why is the title so needlessly antagonistic?
Show HN: A simple and fast Node.js package manager using symbolic link
Author here. I was impressed by the performance archived by bun. But I wonder if (v8) node.js really couldn't be faster. So I challenge myself to make a package manager that runs fast.

The design is inspired by pnpm, which use hardlinks for each packages' files in the node_modules. Instead slnpm use softlinks for each packages' directory, so it takes less space and time to install.

Initially, I used node-fetch and tar in async manner when downloading packages. It works for plain javascript packages but it became quite complex for packages that require install hooks to build itself.

The current version only use sync APIs and it calls npm to install uncached pacakges using child_process.

I know this cli tool is relative simple. It's nowhere close to bun but it may inspire you to build something that you can use often with really simple design.
I'm not sure you're qualified to have an opinion on what I took away from my own experience or whether I'd want my children to have access to similar opportunities. For the record, I did say it was a good experience and I stand by that. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that the time I spent working construction and flipping burgers prior to that also had value. I think it's a mistake to assume that just because work is repetitive, that there is no opportunity for "learning and creating." I was creating things - fibre optic components. I was also learning things - all about the components and their manufacturing process. And yes, I hope my children have access to as broad a range of experience as I've had. I think there are many reasons to want your children to work - not least of which is the value it adds to society and the self-sufficiency it provides them.

No, mutability was always central to Haskell. Investigating how you could track through the type system and isolate the parts of programs requiring side-effects was the research goal of Haskell. It’s the most notable evolution from Miranda.

Haskell issue is not that mutability is an afterthought. Haskell issue is that Haskell is a good research project but not a very good programming language.
Probably true, but at least it's an option.

On iOS, if you don't publish the app on App Store, 0% of your users will be able to install it, because there is simply no alternative.
Its called heat recovery ventillation, its the cheapest and most cost efficient improvement you can make to your life, house and energy bill.

You will have fresh air, control humidity and use 95% of the heat in your house air to heat incoming air from outside. It solves problems with mould and humidty. You can seal your house from the elments

A 'box' that does everything costs just 1 grand, just install ducting and you are done.
There's a Dutch co-operative between many big and small ISPs and hosting providers called "Nationale Beheersorganisatie Internet Providers" who provide a service for their members called "NaWas" (Afterwash?). Any service provider can choose to route their traffic through there in a matter of minutes.

It's not as broad and sophisticated as Cloudflare may be, but at least it's not one big centralized entity all the time, it's only activated as needed and run by a co-op, basically.
Don't let the downvotes get to you. You're right. See the train to nowhere in CA as another example.
We don't need current examples of radical ideologies, history has more than enough examples you can read about, and should be taught about in school.
Your original guess is right. I checked the original Norwegian text. It says 150 grader (degrees), and that surely means Celsius when used unqualified in Norwegian. So we’re talking high pressure superheated water here, for industrial purposes.
I think systems like this make sense.

I'm not yet convinced that they are worth 3k more than a pico and a fan, at least as a retrofit.
Pornhub was hosting cp. It's fair that they're attacked in that case to clean up their operation. Also, aside from the very much based in fact cp issue, a lot of the attacks are coming from US based religious conservatives. What evidence do you have that there's an international conspiracy against pornhub?
Building space refueling and seed moon base infrastructure has such a huge startup cost that it’ll be nearly impossible to make it profitable, which is critical to a for profit company. NASA has no profit motive thus they can fund the basic infrastructure for interplanetary travel and colonization dramatically improving the economics for everyone and creating incentive for everyone to use it. Final note we should have redundant heavy lift capability independent of private companies as a national security goal. The only keys to interplanetary space being in Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos hand should creep us all out.

Final note, in real dollars these programs of NASAs are a blip on the federal budget. All the hand wringing bothers me since it’s not proportional to the scale.
Mostly hydrogen is the smallest element so molecules of hydrogen (H2) are extremely hard to contain. They leak from everywhere so your entire infrastructure has to be designed with very tight tolerances and even still, you’ll have leaks. In addition, those leaks can prove to be dangerous since it’s so reactive and flammable, so you have a highly leaky flammable gas at high pressure…

So you think, well fine, we can just generate it on site via electrolysis — alas, hydrogen actively destroys metal containers via embrittlement. Not so much in hydrogen gas, but any process where you’re running chemical or electrolytic reactions;

Got a pointer? Chinese typewriters exist, but they are (were) complicated, expensive machines and take a long time to learn to operate.
It's more tedious in C derivatives, where loops and switches share the break keyword. Where that isn't the case, it's much harder to justify multi-level break. Refactor to a function and return instead.
> very much not open source

I contribute quite a bit to open source as part of my work on Talon, including the speech engine, the tools I use for model training and dataset creation, and I've upstreamed security fixes and other improvements to core projects like CPython and LibUSB.

> except when you contribute code to them

That clause isn't for code contributed to the Talon app, it's so other users in the community can use ad hoc scripts posted to Slack. Talon itself does not use any code under that clause and I still recommend users explicitly license their community code.

I've had the open source conversation plenty of times, but basically it boils down to: it feels like the bare minimum to protect myself from hostile forks given I have been working on it full time for over five years now, give it away completely for free, and provide high quality support.

It's also segmented so all of the primary functionality (e.g. voice commands and their behaviors) are implemented in open source user controlled code, and I open source plenty of the components of Talon.

You might read the handsfreecoding review [1] which covers this a bit.

I think it's an okay fit for fleet vehicles where the headaches are closer to worth it, but the volatility + the difficulties in safely and reliably containing the compressed gas are the main issues.
So either the employer pays taxes, or no one does.

First one is fine with me. Second, no so much. Libertarian utopias are just that, and every single example of such has been a disaster.
For you perhaps, but the takeaway for billionaires is to learn how to do this and have everyone accept their suffering. So, how do you get people to work more, pay more, receive less, everywhere?

The answer to that question is public relations, or exploiting human psychology to get the turkeys to vote for Christmas.

Modern news events are illuminating from that perspective.
Doesn't list my favorite footgun.

x and y are unsigned short. The expression `x*y` has defined behavior for...

a) all values of x and y.

b) some values of x and y.

c) no values of x and y.
To put this in perspective this is exactly what is needed for some use cases. I live in Singapore. We are a small island nation with zero natural resources. Currently our energy mix almost exclusively dominated by fossil fuels. The move away from fossil fuels is right now impractical as we don't have the necessary land space for solar and we dont receive enough wind to justify wind power. There are no mountains for hydroelectric power. We also have a massive energy footprint thanks to air-conditioning and industry. We don't have many alternatives other than to either (1) import green energy or (2) use nuclear.

(1) poses defense and logistic problem. We become victims to the whims of our neighbours (politicians in our neighbouring country have more than once threatened to cut our water supply). While, we do import water from malaysia, we can also be fully self sufficient should the need arise thanks to desalination and rain water cachement. As a small nation we have a requirement to defend ourselves. Petrol is very convenient as we have massive reserves that should last us a year should we need to go into siege batteries on the other hand don't. Thus a hydrogen economy is a massive game changer for us.

(2) is something we may explore. But as a land scarce island with no prior nuclear technology, we would need to develop new technology from scratch. It could easily be decades before a sufficiently large yield and safe reactor becomes available. Hydrogen on the other hand has a shorter run way.
I agree. Just because we have more advanced diagnosis and detection tools these days doesn't mean everything has to be a problem. The internet has really shaken up social norms and signaling and the kids are the first ones to enter the new world. I believe once we have a generation of fully formed 30-50 year olds who grew up with this strange social media, then we'll have the proper understandings and social knowledge to handle it well. Kinda like how parents these days can attempt to relate to their kids in high school. We need the elder wisdom there.

But I do believe that right now we're kinda off track. We almost venerate the act of being hurt. Everyone likes attention and nothing gets such protection by certain classes as having been offended or wronged by some other class. Social signals are currently built to display virtue and so people will go out of their way to display their support of the wronged. I _do_ believe that this is the correct direction to move from where we were, but I think it's gone a little too far and needs time to rebound.

Being a victim is the fastest way to go from zero to hero (reach millions of people) these days and it's also seemingly the least likely way to backfire. People are much more hesitant to bring up the wrongs of someone who's currently being defended for fear of ending up being placed in the out group and ostracized from the signaling group.
Your succinct summary is great and it also identifies how difficult and mixed-up the messaging around these measures were – the measures were taken, but oftentimes less than optimally, but that gave all the fuel to claim they were ineffective, and the nuance of how effective they were or were not as well as if they had been implemented with more effect (e.g., as in NZ, which, of course, is different from the US in many ways), is all lost in social media act-react exchanges.

I think nuance, subtly, and details of conversation, while never having been that prominent to begin with, have been major victims of this post-truth society we've entered. Healthy exchanges with mutual respect, even if we disagree with one-another, seems almost lost as we've gotten conditioned to take everything as a with-us or against-us type position. It even discourages me from bringing certain topics for discussion altogether because I fear the one-sided retorts we've been conditioned to make. It's really quite tragic.
Fortran supports both of these, with `mod` as the C-like truncated modulo and `modulo` as the floored modulo. Having both is convenient, but you do get errors from people who don't realize the difference
Children with Down syndrome, severe autism, and other disabilities are significantly harder to raise than children without, often requiring lifelong care. This falls under your first criterion (“choosing not to have a child because ~of~ you are unable to safely raise it”). Gender and eye color do not fall under this criterion.

(Tangentially, this is a question that supporters of unconditional access to abortion do not have a good answer for. If abortion is 100% legal, without exception, does that mean it’s OK to use it for female infanticide?)
The Communists came pretty close to dumping characters in favor of Latin script (pinyin). And this actually happened in Vietnam, although we have the French to thank/blame for that.

The issue with MindGeek is that they were hosting cp. Also, they have a massive market share on both the consumer and producer ends of the market and they use that power in really scummy ways. None of these issues are about stifling innovation or being anti tech.

Which is so silly since ML models should be the most portable thing in the world. It's just a series of math operations, not a bunch of OS/hardware specific API calls or something like that. We should be at a stage where each ML model is boiled down to a simple executable with zero dependencies at this point.
It was because, Gutenberg did not invent movable type. That was already in use in Europe. A high chance that technology came from Asia. Hence Gutenberg took an exiting technology and improved it. Gutenberg did not invent the screw press. Almost identical presses were already used in paper making. This was about combining a variety of technologies into one better system.
A thread to explain the European Energy crisis to non-European Energy experts
Is it not for our own good? The whole grid collapsing and needing a lengthy, expensive restart process while everyone goes without electricity sure doesn't sound like a better option. Even Texas bit the bullet to prevent that happening. We already have the power to do this by just imposing rolling brownouts and blackouts; this is the same thing but not nearly so bad as outright power cutoff.
The problem is receiving files, not sending files. You can mail someone an SD card and they will receive it at their house's mailbox. But if their mailbox fills up, the letter will be returned to you. And there is a maximum size for mail that fits in a mailbox. Similarly, people need a digital mailbox you can send files to, but they need to extract their mail from it and empty it out or it will fill up.

We actually made a great solution for this in the 90s: mailservs, inspired by Usenet. We made AOL bots that would take a file, chunk it into 1.5MB sections, and send each via email attachment. Then a client side program would download all the attachments and reassemble them. We downloaded entire movies this way. After download, the mailbox was emptied; if it wasn't, the next transfer would fail.

So people just need mailserv programs to send files, and download their mail regularly.
I think the main problem would be humidity issues. The outside air swings so wildly in humidity. I was growing weed outside in my state and surprised to watch the humidity on the meter regularly go from 21% to nearly 100% on day night cycles.
swatting, stalking and harassment are banned on the site and always have been (look, don't touch) and there is not a single bit of evidence that the mass shooter you speak of even knew KF existed. You're thinking about mainstream social media.. That's where he streamed the shooting from.
Heating with air is less efficient in transporting heat with water. So you either need to move more air or heat it up to a higher temperature. The first one is obvious why it’s a bad idea, the second is a bad idea as at a certain point the dust in the air is burning up leaving a bad smell. So practically you can heat a house with air heating alone only when they are extremely well insulated or in a mild climate. The passivhaus-Standard in fact is defined by heating through air being enough.
Is there anything specific from that podcast you'd like to share that is related to large content platforms like Facebook deleting accounts for other large adult content platforms like MindGeek? Or are we supposed to listen through ~4 hours of audio content to get the gist of what you're saying?
I wonder why you didn't phrase your question as "Should Dropbox be free to host child porn?"
Yes unless they started making their own gas out of electricity and air which is still economically unlikely even with nuclear power. The German petrochemical industry is not a small potatoes thing.

IMO the main problem is that MindGeek has way too much power in the industry. Like a lot of tech firms, it should be broken up by antitrust.
This is classic advertising. Evoke a desire then provide a solution.

And yes, the victim will happily accomodate any inconsistencies between the solution and reality/morality/etc.

The takeaway is : reason serves desire.
Yes, and people keep saying "amoral" like it's a bad thing. For instance, I want my power company to be amoral in customer selection. I want certainty that my power won't be cut because enough people demand it. And I don't want power cuts to be used as a form of social control [1]. Basically, society works best when people stay in their lanes or are at least allowed to stay in their lanes.

From what I understand Lebanon's Bekaa Valley has been the source of many high-quality counterfeit bills (article here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar ), so merchants' refusal to accept old bills is understandable.
