The PID Recipe: a practical guide on PID tuning
Some of us are back on the film bandwagon. :)
I heard they did it after the sunami, so it should be feasible. Yeah, it's not much, but it's something.
The server and client are open-source, and independently audited regularly since 2018

I switched to Bitwarden after using Lastpass for years and it's pretty feature-complete for me -- it has feature parity with LP and there's a bunch of features that I don't even use.

Even the unofficial Rust-based server looks to have more features than I need:

Six Months of War in Ukraine – Economics, Endurance and the Energy War
It would be interesting to understand if non-domesticated animals do this as well and if this holds up on different continents or environments?

As a dog owner I wonder if some of this is because of wind direction. Having a fence I observe our dog not following the north/south facing orientation.
For a new job is a common problem. When I was younger I always thought I must be stupid because basic setup, builds are done well and I just can't figure it out. Now I realize that most teams have random quality builds and likely there is some peculiarity that you can't google for. You need a buddy to keep asking, also pair programming is great, if you can sit with someone else and watch what they do it really helps.
The product being open source doesn't prevent the situation the OP mentions. It just provides a mitigation or a workaround by forking.

I also hope it won't happen but many good projects have gone this way before.

In this case the investment is not for the password manager but for a new identity service. However if that doesn't end up providing the promised results, the shareholders will start looking at the existing successful product to extract more value. After all they own part of that now and they want their returns. It's just what they do. This will clash with the users' best interests sooner rather than later.

Then it becomes forking time but can they find a good maintainer? Open source is not always a guarantee for continuity.

Of course if the new project pans out this won't happen but it's a gamble, and one the existing userbase never asked for.
Something I read forever ago and can't find a link for:

Keep a debugging journal. Take notes on every step you take and its results. It's easy to go in circles because you forget what you tried or forgot some detail of its outcome. Seeing a summary of what you already know helps you rule out possibilities and inspires new ones.

I often forget to do this or feel like "I can handle this bug without a crutch". Yet every time I actually journal the process it's helpful.

If you often find yourself requesting help, ask yourself "what would X do in this situation"? I often find I can anticipate the questions a colleague would ask me when I present them a problem I'm facing. Sometimes simply trying to answer those questions will reveal the solution. Good questions for any problem are:

* When did this start happening?

* What changed between when it was working when it stopped working?

* Have you asked person Y who worked on that change?
Show HN: VoxelChain – An Experimental Voxel Engine
VoxelChain is an experimental tool to create voxel worlds in the browser. The lighting is fully ray traced in real-time and there is powerful cellular-automata based programming system, which allows to create complex digital circuits and model the behaviour of voxels (behaviour such as falling sand or water).

Technology wise, I'm using WebGL2 for the rendering and the simulation is coded in C89 and gets compiled to WebAssembly (with multi-threading) using Clang. The simulation is basically a custom cellular automaton and is fully parallelized. Once WebGPU is released, I'm planning to run the simulation on the GPU, instead of the CPU, which will give a massive speed up.

I've been working on this project full-time for over a year now, and finally came to the point of realising a public version of it to play with. There is already some really cool stuff that the community has built, and it's super fun to see how everything evolves!

Let me know what you think and feel free to ask any questions :>
I kind of see your point, but to me FlyCode does not look like a product that will push further this "evil marketers' will" that you speak of.

It will allow product owner and his product team to make instant changes to their product, save precious developer time and reduce the amount of people required in the loop. All this product brings is benefit of saved time and resources.

It does not propel the marketers' feel of power. I keep thinking this tool will help the non-technical app owners to instantly make necessary changes without having to pay for this service and wait few days.
> In the beginning this was the narrative because there was a shortage of masks, or because of plain ignorance.

Maybe I missed something, but I don't remember ever hearing "masks don't work unless you're a medical professional" (outside of later revisionist accounts by the right-wing "COVID isn't real and this is all a vast conspiracy" crowd); I mostly remember hearing "initial findings show that masks seem to be effective, but supplies are so short that we should ensure that our medical responders have access to them, so please don't go out and panic-buy them like you've been doing with toilet paper."
This is worse, the runtime overhead will always persist. It's nature is to be secure, not fast. It can be faster than JS in instances where you're doing heavy lifting of memory/algorithms. But that is limited to languages like C/Rust that are compiled directly without need for a runtime.

He's not.
I had the same prescription about 10 years ago, I didn't even bother filling it because I barely had any pain.

High-dose alternating ibuprofen & acetaminophen seems to be the go-to regimen nowadays, with oxycodone only for severe pain control and only in combination with acetaminophen. Apparently oxycodone and acetaminophen have synergistic effects; anecdotally, when someone I know had a major inpatient surgery recently, they said that the oxycodone made them feel like shit unless they took the acetaminophen along with it.

I don't know why they use high-dose ibuprofen instead of meloxicam, but I guess there are good reasons for it (maybe greater risk of GI damage?).
Janitors do real useful work, while most of us do not.
The pack animals typically can't eat enough to entirely subsist off of local plants. Plus any time that you have to let the animals graze is time that you aren't marching.

ACOUP had a good writeup on it https://acoup.blog/2022/07/15/collections-logistics-how-did-...

"Wagons are more promising. A big wagon pulled by two horses can carry perhaps a ton (1000kg) at maximum (in practice many medieval wagons capped out well below this and were pulled by four horses), but now we have two horses and a driver to consider...Their nutrition requirements are too high and so they require feed, at least some 4.5kg of it per day assuming local grass is available along with time to let the horses graze it (during which the wagon is, of course, stopped). The Romans seem to have allocated around 7kg of barley per day per cavalryman for their cavalry"

EDIT: Ah, I did not realize before linking the acoup blog that the article is actually in response to that same article.
It's pretty hard to beat consistently over a long time, yes.
> I don't give second chances to services that are trust based.

You might run out of services then at some point.

Human beings are fallible, full stop. Also, a company isn't an individual -- management teams change, corporate priorities change, security practices improve. Judging a whole company by what a few employees did or didn't do a decade ago isn't always going to yield an optimal approach.

Refusing to give any company a second chance ever is pretty extreme. Each individual case needs to be handled on its merits -- what happened, why did it happen, do you think the company learned and implemented new policies, how many other undiscovered vulnerabilities do you think are still there? But also, how many other undiscovered vulnerabilities do you think are still there for competitors as well? Just because a competitor hasn't had a breach doesn't necessarily means it's better, it might just be lucky so far.
Blender’s Principled BSDF is based on Disney’s work. Maybe you’re looking for something more advanced, but Andrew Price (Blender Guru, the donut guy) has some decent videos talking about how to create realistic materials with it. I don’t have any links at the moment, but they should be easy to find on YouTube.

Bitwarden | VP Engineering & Software Architect | Remote | Full-time

Bitwarden is a leader in open-source password management, secrets management, and information security. We just announced a new $100m Series B funding and have some very exciting things going on as a company. Tons of opportunity to make an impact on our product and global community of users!

The JVM + applets were supposed to be the future. Flash was supposed to be the future. ActiveX, Silverlight, OpenLaslo, etc.

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript have so much momentum behind them. They are each a warty mess, but upon that warty mess is built the foundation of the worldwide information ocean.
There was NaCl, PNaCl by google. Didn't fly though, i think because there was no fallback possible. Near-native performance (within 10% margin), any concurrency you can think of. Played Bastion game in browser on crappy old macbook Air many many years ago
Go would be a counterpoint. And C didn’t go the C++ route of including every language feature.
This is great for the descriptions of Shannon alone:

> Claude also had a swing about 35 feet long attached to a huge tree, on a slope. We started the swing from uphill and the downhill end of the arc could be as much as 15 or 20 feet above the ground.

The death of the PCIe expansion card
> French nuclear reactors [...] offline because of massive defects

There's no "massive defects" involved, it's a combination of 1. regular refueling maintenance which happens every summer; 2. some maintenance being delayed due to COVID-19 that was finally able to be scheduled this year; 3. a minor corrosion issue [1] being found with the welds in one of the newer plants, leading the power plant operator to stop all similar plants for safety reasons to be manually inspected.

> barely producing due to a lack of cooling water

There's plenty of cooling water, it's just warmer than usual upstream of some of the plants, and the plants have rules about not rejecting water above a certain temperature to the river in order to protect wildlife. These rules can be waived and in fact have been waived several times this summer and previous summers to continue producing at higher load -- it sucks for the fishes that get +1°C, but we're basically making a choice between warming up the rivers or warming up the planet with more CO2 emissions. This is indeed the same situation as in Beznau (CH, the article you linked), but absolutely not comparable to the problems with hydro in Italy that are actually due to lack of water. You can't waive a lack of water.

> no indication at all that the situation in France will clear up any time soon

(1) and (2) are absolutely going to clear up by winter. https://nuclear-monitor.fr/ shows the planned maintenance end dates. Just by the end of the month EDF is planning to have 11-12GW back online [2] (though their maintenance end dates tend to slip up by a few days in general). That leaves the 12 reactors (out of 56) impacted by (3). I suspect that if it actually comes to blackouts, (3) might also clear out, if we decide that the minor safety risk of the welding issues is less bad than the people actually dying due to lack of power. Unfortunately anything involving nuclear safety makes people freak out and require 100% reliability, even when it's absolutely irrational to do so and causes more human deaths.

Eagle Lander
As someone who runs a prosody server and also has to maintain accounts on other platforms I really like this. I'm going to keep an eye on this project and maybe at some point in the future once other people have worked out the kinks I'll take a dive into it.

This looks really ambitious and I hope it succeeds. My main concern is that it's swimming upstream against intrenched monopolies guarded by wealthy assholes. And experience has taught me that's not a recipe that leads to interoperability.
Could it be that they orient themselves to the sun? And the magnetic alignement is just coincidental?
> I wonder, would you (or others complaining about subcontracting) be OK with it if the prime contractor was totally above board, disclosing the fact that he is subcontracting and allowing you to "vet" the subs?

Yes, the misrepresentation is the key part. For example, if I grant you access to a server that doesn't mean that I want a bunch of randos I never meant having access to the same server as you — if nothing else, you'd want them to have had whatever you consider necessary security training and you'd want your ops people to know that a connection from Romania isn't an immediate sign that you've been hacked.

This is especially true when you're crossing country boundaries and things like IP law or similar concerns vary widely. Most contracting agreements cover things like handling corporate IP carefully and I'd expect at least a request to confirm that this is okay.

Now, there are cases where it might be more forgivable: for example, if I'm hiring you to work on a project which involves an open source component and you turn around and hire one of the developers on that project to add a feature we need, that seems entirely reasonable because it's a) not my IP and b) totally above board that J. Random Maintainer made those commits and shipped v1.2.3 which you're using. Similarly, if you found an artist to contribute assets but didn't give them access to my server or a copy of our code, that seems fine, too. None of that seems anything like the situation described, however.

> I put in some hours in the world of defense/government contracting, where in many cases, the prime contractor never does any work at all. His only job is to "be the prime contractor" but he subcontracts everything, and I mean everything out to others as soon as the ink is dried.

Yes but speaking from experience on the .gov side they do that with the full knowledge of the agency and a contractor will be terminated and banned from future work if they violate security policies such as having unauthorized people access a government system or sharing source code without authorization.
We are making a series of more technical articles with Marple at the moment. This time it was my time to shine!

We often see engineers struggle to get some PID controllers working. We know a thing or two about it, so we want to share it with the world! I wrote a short 4 step guide on how I think you can tune a simple PID controller and also shared some thoughts.

Let me know what you think :)
I'd start with getting universal browser support for another language. LLVM to js has helped, but we need real, native support to move forward.
What you're describing is more how a politician would think if "science" were a country.

But science isnt a country, most scientists arent politicians and most would prefer the truth to out.
You're talking about de-duplicating HTML.

Unless you've got literally millions of pages, you're probably talking about wasting a few megabytes at the most. You're adding the complication of using SSI for no real reason beyond "I just want it that way."
I bailed on lastpass when they doubled the annual price for the second year in a row. They had also just been acquired by LogMeIn, who didn’t have a great reputation.

I don’t know if I can manage another service switch. I can do it just fine, but my wife is more resistant to these kinds of changes and we need to be on the same page on this.
> Why would I use this instead of Apple built-in password manager?

Because BitWarden works on more devices than what Apple supports.
Stable Diffusion and Why It Matters
Anytime someone tries to argue that fossil fuels are being subsidized, it's safe to ignore every argument they will ever make on the subject.

When someone can't even acknowledge reality there's really no point in engaging.
I'm not sure where you are but USA is very lax compared to the rest of the world. Obviously someone has crunched the numbers and decided a little more fraud that gets easily refunded means the customer is more profitable that strict security that could frustrate people. I've had a card with the extra Bank verification step and I stopped using it. Maybe the lower interchange fees in Europe makes the difference.
You're just changing the point you measure the conversion losses at. Yes, electric motors are commonly 90%+ or 95%+. Even really bad ones hit that number.

When an EV is being charged by a natural gas turbine hooked into the electric grid, the efficiency is about the same.

Basically imagine if instead of having an transmission in my regular truck I just coupled my engine to an enormous alternator. Then used the electrical energy to run electric motors driving the wheels. It is in no way more efficient.
The worst thing about javascript is all the legacy cruft, but if you could get everyone to agree to replace javascript with something else you could probably also get them to agree to break support for legacy stuff to clean up the language.
Its nice to have something thats OS independant. Maybe you have no plans on leaving apple now, but surely you wouldn't want to rule it out ever happening in the future. Using an external password manager just means one less pain point for migrating. Its the same with any OS, or any technology for that matter.
Look at you, spinning the soft disinfo like a pro.

The negative reviews are from lotr fanatics.

The negative reviews are from people who dislike it deviating from the text.
Why not include a demo org and/or demo public GH repo that can quickly be tried out? I wouldn't want to grant GH access to every service I try out.
Just thinking aloud.
It's very easy to overestimate what "everyone knows".
PNaCl was a terrible, terrible hack on top of LLVM's intermediate representation. The only good thing that came of it was paving the way for WebAssembly.
It's both, and can run in several different modes.

In dynamic mode, you are correct that the HTML files act as a cache.

In static mode, the on-demand layer (and any related hooks in the web server) are turned off, with all the pages being pre-generated.

There is also a hybrid mode, where the access log (and content store) is scraped for updates and they're integrated into the static HTML on a schedule.

Each of these has its own advantages and drawbacks in terms of security, accessibility, performance, and convenience.
My question was not "how to store power" but how to generate power in the dead of night in Texas with no wind and no power storage.
>(Note there is a straw-man counterargument where one might say “so they changed their mind as evidence evolved, that’s allowed”. But the information was presented as established and factual in both cases. We have always been at war with Eastasia.)

My friend, if you expect immediate inerrancy from everyone dealing with global-scale novel viruses, then I think you'll find that you'll _always_ be disappointed (or, more likely given your 1984 reference, you'll _always_ be the "victim" of another imagined conspiracy).

I do hope your friends, family, and coworkers afford you more space to learn, grow, and change (and that you practice doing so!) than you afford to others.
I fear for this world if one cannot responsibly process the data they're given after all the cards are put on the table.
How many people can Earth handle?

I'm also in the market for some kinda MDM setup that will work on BYOD dev Linux hosts without annoying developers... How are you finding fleetdm?
I'd like to know the thoughts of Stallman on Smalltalk. Curious to know what were the odds for an alternative timeline where the free software movement released a competitive open source Smalltalk back in the 80s.
I doubt this has much to do with US culture or any specific country. Nature is a German/British enterprise. The trend away from using "race" in genetics research appears to be a global thing.
Again, how could hybrids matter? The power comes from a regular combustion engine. It's just burning fossil fuels to propel the vehicle.
The Bushnell anecdote is pretty funny. Especially considering Bushnell was famously offered a 1/3 stake in Apple for $50K and declined. Who knows how that might have changed history, but 1/3 of Apple today would make him the richest man in the world by a mile.
Investing every week? Don't most invest apps/providers only allow investment on a monthly basis? Might be better to simulate that
I wasn’t defending it. I’m just saying (short term) converting the median eater, who doesn’t care about pig welfare, to factory farmed salmon will be easier and more environmentally impactful than trying to make them vegetarian.
Been strongly considering switching from Dashlane (no idea why I chose it originally, but here we are) to Bitwarden for a while now. Despite some of the comments I don't think this changes anything, though I might just wait a little longer.
