Empirically we have done a bunch of work with correlating mixtures of molecules to human perception at Volatile AI (https://volatile.ai) and the degrees of variation in mixtures are really wild - a tiny amount of something in a mixture can change the smell perception of the whole mixture.
So getting decent results will be so much harder when looking beyond single molecules
There are a lot of gas power stations in the UK. I suspect that gas prices are so high its uneconomic to run them, and gas is sent to Europe instead (or not imported like previously).

Have you tried installing Gboard?
If you can get access to a consumer grade FLIR camera (I have an old Cat s60 phone, but there are standalone devices you can connect to phones available), you can find areas in your house or apartment that are leaking heat and then apply additional insulation material to those areas with some heat reflecting material on them.
> Also with this execution model you can support conditional dependencies

This is an anti-feature.

To elaborate, a “conditional dependency” is still a dependency as much as any regular dependency would be.

The only difference is that the conditional check is now taken outside the dependent code, (where the condition is both explicit and colocated with the dependent code) and put somewhere else, becoming less explicit and harder to find.
allaboutberlin.com. I'm self-employed, and I have no direct customers. So long as my bills are paid, everything else is extra. I can invest time into more, better content, but I can also mess around with things that don't make money. More often than not, they turn out to do just that. "If you build it, they will come."

Mind you, I still have to work, but there's rarely anything that needs to be done right now, unless I goofed up while fiddling with nginx.

Before that I was a contractor for a year or two. After seeing contracting colleagues disappear for months-long vacations, I wanted in on that.

Before that I was a regular employee in Europe, where work culture is far more relaxed. I had more vacation days as an intern than my parents in the home country ever had. I also became really good at aggressively cutting meetings for me and my team, which gave us more time to experiment without affecting output.

In Germany, you also have the right to reduce your work hours. Coincidentally, that's the article I'm currently working on.

It’s funny reading this, I can tell he’s struggled to solve a problem I used to explain on the first day to my Intro to Computers students: a lot of this technical information is interrelated in a web, rather than one concept leading to the next. Yet we are forced to learn it linearly. It took a lot of effort and experience teaching to resolve that conflict.
What will be illegal, exactly? There is actually nothing stopping iPhones from communicating with Android phones. iMessage, a proprietary messaging app, colors data messages blue and SMS messages green for the user's benefit. There is an entire world of messaging apps that aren't iMessage. The main gripe from Android users seems to be a mere social issue.

Also, isn't it my understanding that in EU most people use other messaging apps already?

> My mother needs a phone and left to her own devices her friends of the same age would probably convince her to buy a cheap Android (which would end up frustrating her eventually), or she just wouldn’t even buy a phone at all.

My parents do that. Have plenty of money but just can't bring themselves to spend more than ~$300 on a phone. And, to be fair, if they spent double or even triple that but still bought Android they're correct that it wouldn't be an improvement, since the UI's the main problem.

> So I buy her phones.

Having watched my parents' experience over the years, I assure you you're doing the right thing.

Air source heat pump (split AC unit) is the way to go.

Nope, no startup penalty. It is just as performant as the classic JSX pragma. The actual JavaScript that is executed by the runtime is pretty much identical.

Summer’s Drought Is Europe’s Worst in 500 Years
Writing from Netherlands that has one of the highest Gas/power/fuel prices in the EU.

1. I live in a large three story townhouse. Admittedly too big for my family of 3. I’m going to leave the top floor unheated (I have under floor heating, so I can turn it off on a per room/floor basis).

2. Turn off my PC when not in use, and most other appliances.

3. Switch to a shower for my little one that enjoys the bathtub and hot water :-( and shorter showers for us adults.

4. Generally keep the temps lower than what we used to.

5. This summer I already replaced the radiators with under floor heating. I could not get hold of a air to water heat pump yet because eod the supply chain. At some point that will help close off Gas at home. Switched from Gas stove top to induction.

6. Solar panels will be installed in December/January(earliest I could get someone to install on the roof)!

Not sure what else I can do..
Oh how I wish the Airbnb had one! We will be taking our space heater with us on trips from now on.
paper ballots is still the absolute best way to vote. It's the most difficult to tamper, and most importantly, simple enough that people can see and understand that it _isn't_ tampered.
I don't think they dance around the topic so much as outright state that it is bad. They mostly talk about engagement because it is the primary metric but even state that we should not value what we measure but measure what we value. Which it is harder to do that, but hey, you got billions of dollars to work with, it seems like the resources are there.
I personally consider "very few preinstalled apps" a big plus! Uninstalling useless apps (if they are even uninstallable) is always a drag.

I like the EU using their market position to remedy this

But aside from that it doesn't reach an antitrust issue because Apple didnt need to do anything, the people chose to associate the unencrypted message with Android and a perceived inferiority - and nobody actually cares that RCS got implemented to supersede SMS and MMS at some random time over the last decade

There's been sanctions (and coups, for the first two) against those.

Has this actually happened due to the pandemic? I don't believe there was any mothballing of power plants in the UK during the pandemic.
I upgraded to Vue 3 and Pinia and my project got 2x cleaner.

Vue 3 was designed with large complex projects in mind. Vue 2 is probably easier to grok when starting out or for small projects but the functional modularity, typescript integration, and reduced boilerplate with 3 really starts to show in large projects.

I did it slowly over a year and besides having to wait for some dependencies to catch up it was mostly painless.

Although the biggest pain-reduction was getting to use Vite instead of Webpack (shudder). The build tools not sucking is so critical when doing front end dev.

The back button is so engrained in my use of my phone now I honestly can't consider another way of using a phone anymore. Reaching across the phone to the other side (for righties) or hitting a manual button, or even the double tap on the back, just can't compare to the ease of hitting back on Android.

A few hundred bytes is a ton data for something that a lot of people don’t particularly care about, and is still broken despite OCSP stapling. People don’t have low latency, clean internet all over the world and adding something like this on top of an already pretty bloated negotiation doesn’t help.

As for the alternative not a single browser out there validates OCSP out of the box on the hot path (e.g actually waits for OCSP before proceeding)
I agonized over my moonlander purchase, I really had my eyes on the UHK with the trackpad, but I got tired of waiting, my shoulder and wrist pain was getting to be too much, so I bit the bullet.

Karma-farming bots exist. It's trivial to make bot accounts and farm karma on meme subs until you're over the threshold, and then go and comment in product-related subreddits.

Technical solutions are extremely difficult. A verified purchase mechanism is difficult to do unless you control the purchase platform.

The "easiest" solution is a web of trust, but that has a significant non-technical component by definition.
Nice, I run https://www.redditreads.com which is similar but just for books.

Reddit really is great for recommendations: is less impacted by SEO and marketing that most of the internet, upvoting captures the wisdom of the crowd, and comments usually provide context for their recommendation.

HN is similar actually, though much smaller.

On both looria and redditreads I find it interesting how the products recommended reflect the culture of each subreddit.
Like many things in life, "it depends."

The market for new PhDs in economics is wonderful and getting better.

I haven't looked at figures in over 7 years, but the general trend has been there are ~900 PhDs minted per year, about 100-200 academic tenure track jobs, and about 1200 industry jobs (that number has probably increased now that NABE, not just AEA/ASSA, handles recruitment conference at-scale for the techonomics/industry roles). I expect the PhD minting is approximately the same and the economists roles have boomed because economists make for great data scientists, with some reasonable onboarding and tech training.

It's a good market, generally.

My impression is that gerrymandering initially associated with the Reverse Course[0] has much to do with those electoral results.

It is so established that you can find it on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Democratic_Party_(Japa...

"From the 1950s through the 1970s, the United States Central Intelligence Agency spent millions of dollars attempting to influence elections in Japan to favor the LDP against more leftist parties such as the Socialists and the Communists,[24][25] although this was not revealed until the mid-1990s when it was exposed by The New York Times.[26]"

Wikipedia only mentions that Moon was promoted by Radio Free Asia, here is an article that tells a bit more:

https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL1209/S00029/reverend-moon-...

Reverend Moon: Cult leader, CIA asset and Bush family friend

"In 1997, Congressman Donald Fraser launched an investigation into Moon's cult. The 444-page Congressional report alleged Moonie involvement with bribery, bank fraud, illegal kickbacks, and arms sales. The report revealed that Moon's 20,000-member Unification Church was a creation of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA). The Moonies were working with KCIA Director Kim Chong Phil as a political instrument to influence U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. CIA was the agency primarily responsible for founding the KCIA after WW II. The Moon organization has denied any link with the U.S. intelligence agencies or the Korean government."

I've heard the Moonies described as a "classic tale" on how US intelligence operations risk feeding back into US politics.

Ask HN: Securing two-party REST API access using tokens only
I've been reading tons of information on the web and still can't get a straightforward answer to what should be a very simple and common authorization scenario.

Simply put, I just want to secure a REST API like how Github does it, i.e., you can create a revocable access token (with specific scopes) using the web application UI, and then use that token to make API calls. That's all I need; I don't need any 3rd-party client access or anything like that.

So how do I create an OAuth server to achieve this? Or can JWT be used for this directly, so that OAuth not actually needed? Any pointers to readable online resources would be appreciated, since all my searches do not seem to turn up any results focused on the scenario I've described.

I'd like to avoid using any proprietary solutions, but open source libraries are fine. Mostly I'd like to understand the fundamentals and terminology regarding how to implement something like this reasonably securely.

I remember android 2.x apps having the coolest UIs, nowadays android apps all use the same boring material design components.
You can still find some 2.x apps on the play store though, they're a refreshing blast from the past.

Websites still have a bit of originality, given the vast variety of UI frameworks (and now canvas apps allow for even more versatility).
Since when did Apple have any obligation to provide iMessage to Android users? 10 years ago? Now?

I think Tim Cook is spot on here. Get an iPhone for your grandma if she wants the user experience that iMessages provide. Otherwise, you can get her signal or snapchat or one of the 4,225 secure messaging ecosystems.
US companies hire freelancers in other countries all the time, nothing unusual about that. English-speaking usually preferred so Brits have that advantage.

You might get questions or objections around timezones and taxes, so have answers ready. In general as long as the relationship clearly meets IRS rules that distinguish employees from contractors there’s no US tax liability for the hiring company.

Expect some customers to offer local (UK) rates rather than US rates. US companies outsource to India to save money. How much you can charge will depend on the skills and experience you bring and price relative to US freelancers.

There are fancy fine dining places where you have separate waiters serve you food while another is explaining the menu, sommelier offering wine pairings. If that's your thing that's where you pay for it.

On the other hand I don't go to normal restaurants to get entertained by waiters, and they have to be pretty terrible to cross the threshold where they are affecting my experience to the point where I'd leave (failing their purpose like the plumber example).
While a flawed comparison, WSL does use a VM in conjunction with the 9p protocol to achieve folder sharing.
Intersting. I am also a remote software engineer, but either working "feels right" a lot less for me than for you, and I feel like spending time outside riding my bike a lot less than you, or my employer is a lot less tolerant of taking the day off to ride my bike because work just didn't feel right.

I am curious how many hours a day/week you work, and if you are open about this with your employer...
In France the nuclear is state owned (EDF owns all nuclear plants and the government owns 85% of it) and how it is actually priced is just weird/can not really be compared directly. For actual costs what you should look at are actual commercial operations like what Sweden or Finland has.

> They're officially hoping wind and solar will make up the difference.

You better if you don't build anything else. If I was only building X I for sure would hope that would be the solution. Hoping that the solution would be Y would be kind of self defeating.

edit: Looking into this more looks like most Swedish nuclear plants are also owned by the state (though Vattenfall). Is Finland the only country with actual privately owned nuclear power plants in EU?

Good use of dog piling / group think. Very little independent thought on reddit once something gets rolling. Though i guess thats human nature in a nutshell.
i agree, but not a critical issue.

In less than a decade, i'm already guessing less than 5 years, WASM will come out with a viable frontend solution that will actually be groundbreaking.

The battles between frontend philosophies in javascript will look like child's play then.

I'm not going to waste anymore time switching FE frameworks (Jquery->Angular->React), as I've found that it's been quite useless (Although I really liked Solid - shame their animation libraries suck and the overall environment isn't mature enough).

I'm happy with React.

Performance isn't an end all be all.

Svelte doesn't have a chance to match the hiring pool of React, nor will Svelte Native ever compete with React Native in maturity.

In 5-7 years, we will be talking about ending the use of Javascript on the Frontend, So i really don't care about reactivity.
> I can send someone who has an android phone a text message. I can send them a photo, or a video.

You can, and the quality of the photo/video on the other end is horrendous. It's artificially downgraded. Android doesn't have this problem when messaging any other platform, because all other platforms use RCS (an open standard), which Apple chooses not to adopt because they benefit from the lock-in.

It also breaks all the other features that iMessage and RCS both provide. So no, it's not just about the color of the bubble: it actually is an interoperability issue.

Yes you need to build ecosystems not just plant trees. Monoculture tree stands are often mostly empty of other life.

You need to plant a variety of native species keeping track of keystone species and year round food production so that your forest supports other life.
I don’t know about the LDP part but I do know that my father was told to “drop it” when he discovered that the flower children’s passports were being withheld and sent to Korea. He was told that by a police chief though and not the CIA.
