This might be a reference to fossil fuel storage filling up during the pandemic due to lower demand which led to production being taken off line and the price crashing at one point.

Before Ukraine, that and an economy rebound, particularly in the East was pointed to as the reason for the Gas prices going up.

Here's a Febuaray article on that:

Isn’t this just a result of the negative weights?
This is great! Do you have an API? (A paid/metered API would be OK for many people in the industry)
I bet it’s T420 or T490
Sure, I’ve done it many times. Sites like priceline.com offer huge discounts if you’re willing to commit to a small area on a map and a general description of the property without knowing the particular hotel until you pay.
For a moment I read it as open source keyboard. The djinn looks interesting if you are looking for an open source keyboard[1]

Right. That’s the polite way of saying it. :)
This is why I don't buy or recommend apple products anymore. I was never a fanboi, but rather had some nice experiences (about 10 years ago - eg I am just retiring my 2012 Retina MBP - and it still works, just a little slow these days).

Besides, get mom onto Signal and it doesn't matter any more.
Personally I've moved to Firefox, but won't others just adopt another chromium browser variant? (there's so many out there).

I guess 'regular' people will still use chrome, however do 'regular' people use ad-blockers? /shrug
Yeah, I agree, Apple has a reputation of doing things "its own way" which is sometimes frustrating for sure.

BTW for that specific use case AFAIK iPhone uses H.265 and H.264 (and ProRes but I don't think you're mentioning that when saying "raw", rather meaning straight out of device) videos inside a MOV container, which are both widely available (with H.265 having some license fees but available virtually on every device).
Thanks for the info/reply
They're going to record everything you do anyway - the choice being offered is an illusion. There is no way to opt out of surveillance capitalism (other than blocking ads and piracy,) only ways to opt in further.
> The EU only put all focus on "green" energy and then tried to solve the problems it created with fossil fuels while forgetting about or even actively working against nuclear.

I'm not sure that's true. The EU (25%) as a whole has more nuclear energy than the US (19%). About half of EU countries use nuclear power, keeping in mind almost half of EU countries have less people than Massachusetts.

Remember, the EU doesn't generally run energy policy. The individual countries do. If anything, it was a lack of commitment to green energy that led to this.
It seems like no online review platform can escape Goodhart's Law.
I enjoyed the Monsters Inc reference and the turning of it on its head central to this piece. But we've said/argued this for years and at the end of the day engagement = ad reach = profits and until the economics there change any for-profit social media will gravitate towards engagement. Hell ANY media gravitates toward engagement and outrage bait. An actual community built around Mastodon seems possible, and there's community discussions around private group chats but they will always remain niche and not profitable.

I don't get what https://savannahhq.com is and what the value add is there but that seems to be what he's interested in, niche + small communities.
The lack of interoperability is strictly illegal since it's being leveraged to expand Apple's already formidable market power (using market power to extend market power is the strictly illegal part) by pushing people to buy an iphone. Cook can hardly deny that's a conscious thought at Apple, 'cause he just said the quiet part out loud.

FRO - IINAL but I do know "monopoly" is not the correct term in law, "market power" is. You don't need to be a monopoly to violate the laws.
This is the con. If you convince a whole generation of people of this, you have a lot of people eating frogs. Some small percentage of those people will have the extraordinary fortune of not eating frogs later, and then attribute their success to all the frogs they ate, and recommend frog-eating to everyone.
Exactly. It took me a while to understand that this article was written for community managers of brands, not people developing social networks. They keep saying engagement has no value, but to social networks and to "influencers" who both make their money off of ads, that is exactly what has value.
Same. Turns out don’t know how to touch type, so in addition to the learning curve of the new layout I also had to learn which fingers were even supposed to type each key. It’s much more difficult and counterproductive to cheat with an ergo keyboard.
Lots of people have played around with ideas like this, but nothing especially successful. One problem you'll run into is that people have vastly different amounts of money. While I might be content paying $50/month for unlimited internet, someone less well off might balk at $5/month. So either you set your price high enough that many people can't afford it, or you miss out on the ability to draw more money from people who can afford it.

Additionally, different sites will have different views, often correctly, on how valuable their content is. An NYT article is much more expensive to produce than a Buzzfeed one, but your system compensates them the same (while the NYT is able to charge a premium for advertising today, plus runs their own paywall).

Your proposal is also pretty exploitable: submit your own website and set the platform to always send 100% of your money to your own site.
Burntsushi is a serious power contributor to the Rust ecosystem. Obviously ripgrep and the regex crate are top tier. Big thank you from someone who uses your work regularly :)

Also really cool to see more and more rust crates releasing their 1.0 versions. I feel like one of the big jumps for Rust (for me at least) will be when critical non-stdlib libraries are all 1.0 and there's less "which one do I choose". I understand competition is good in situations (more so opinionated frameworks) but I do love that I don't think about what regex library to choose since there's one obvious winner with tons of community support and resources.
I bought and use two Moonlanders. I’d like future versions to integrate a small trackball and to be wireless. That said, this helped my shoulder and wrist pain tremendously. I recommend it for those with injuries and unique needs. This year, I’m trying the Halmak layout to type even more efficiently.

Pair it with an Evoluent mouse or similar vertical mouse for a great setup.

Ripping content is essential in a streaming world.

I use yt-dlp for any content on YouTube I believe I might want to watch more than once.

Youtube used to have a lot of organic content back when I was in college that people have slowly removed for various reasons. But what made me finally set up yt-dlp was when an artist produced a huge amount of content rapping and singing over other people's beats that put them on my radar and made me interested in their original content. The content was up for at least 2 years and as soon as they released their newest album they went back and deleted all traces of the work they had made in between their album releases.

And the new album sucked as well.
I agree, but taking a single test that's mostly about merit rather than compliance is not really what's being talked about.

For what it's worth, my family is not wealthy or educated and I was able to go to a high-quality-but-not-prestigious magnet school in significant part because of my SAT score :)
As a Moonlander owner (which is its own niche look) that keyboard is.... a very niche look. I hate it, personally. I don't get wood on keyboards.
Show HN: AIPugs– Stable Diffusion Powered NFTs
Hi HN!

I know a lot of the audience here is very anti-crypto and anti-NFT but thought I'd share a small personal project I'm building to help me get more involved in Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, etc.

Using a seed of the block # + wallet address to feed into our initial prompt for Gen 0 Pugs, with further generation (Breeds) being initialised with seeds + parents image. Makes for some interesting evolutions!

I have one, I love it, the only complaint i have is that there's not yet another enveloping row of keys across the top and down the outer sides of each half.
Take your pick. Your local government, your national government, or your European government all have an aggregate effect on national an international energy policy, even if that impact is not direct.

If you have a better idea what it means to be "held responsible" I'm happy to hear it.
Nicely written post but can't help noticing the elephant in the room being tiptoed around, which really makes me question the sincerity of the author.

The monsters need energy to power their civilisation. Why do social media companies measure engagement? What are they extracting? There is not one single mention of the "p word" in the article.

The last two sections are delivered with such heavy doses of naivety that this ends up just coming across as Orwellian in tone.

> “We should measure what we value, not value what we measure”

Who is "we"? Is "we" the shareholders? What do "they" value do you think?
The EU assigns money it takes from the states - money the pro-nuclear states would've used for their nuclear energy, but since it was appropriated by the EU and then assigned by its own rules that were constructed to rule out nuclear energy, they couldn't. So our pro-nuclear state has huge fields of solar arrays that everybody here hates because it replaced natural parks and makes us more reliant on gas powerplants, and the our/EU money was taken by gangsters, we call them the "solar barons" - great, thanks EU.
I have been using Svelte for a couple of years now on small and large projects and I have yet to hit one of those "5%" problems that I used to hit routinely in larger React projects. Svelte mostly stays out of your way, unlike React where it everything is more ... forced ... in my opinion.

I have a lot of experience with React, Vue, and Angular and I have moved completely over to Svelte if the client will allow. Since it uses normal Javascript, normal HTML, and normal CSS it also doesn't seem to suffer as much regarding the ability to find other people to support it. If they can use normal JS, HTML, and CSS the "Svelte" part of it can be learned in a couple of hours max.

Early on, there was a custom component shortage, but it is so easy to wrap plain vanilla JS components in Svelte components that this is has mostly disappeared as well.

If I where going to point out anything negative about it, I would say that if you are used to developing by just plugging in pre-built components (very common in React development) then it won't be as easy.

I use a "brand new" 16" M1 because it makes a huge difference.

I use an 8-year-old iPhone 6s because what difference does it make? I'm not a pro photographer or videographer, nor a mobile gamer.

Are a few extra centimeters and an OLED screen and amazing camera going to change my experience of my mobile device?

There's nothing at night in the dark I need to take photos of.
Yeah I think that's a different time and a different place. At least the GNU Unix tooling can all be configured in the UTF-8 locale, which I think is pretty standard these days.

So I guess from my view, Unix tooling isn't quite "it's all just bytes" these days, but rather, "everything is UTF-8, except for some things and we still want to handle those things in some sensible way."

I don't think the byte-string-mostly-UTF-8 approach leads to the sadness you describe. What you describe I think was a result of a very different time before the ubiquity of UTF-8. I might have a very different opinion if we were transported back in time, absolutely.

Go has the same byte-string-mostly-UTF-8 approach as bstr (and indeed, bstr was inspired by it), and I don't think they're having the kinds of problems you describe. Go strings might not be valid UTF-8, but the language itself pushes you toward UTF-8 and they otherwise have very good Unicode support throughout their standard library and supporting libraries.
I use Firefox. Safari is used exclusively on IOS and pretty dominant on MacOS. HTML5 works fine across those. The web app we develop has occasional issues with Safari that we need to look into. Things not working in both Firefox and Chrome is extremely rare for us and usually fixed pretty easily in the rare case we notice it.

I remember having to deal with xhtml, html 4, Netscape, Opera, Internet Explorer, etc. a world of pain.

Even by 2009, things were already massively improved (with the exception of IE of course). WhatWg was founded in 2004 and that's when work started on HTML5. That's before Chrome was a thing. That didn't happen until 2008 and would have not been possible without decent specifications provided by WhatWg. Apple and Mozilla were working together on that one.

Chrome happened because of HTML 5; not the other way around.
Indeed. It's a political problem. Not just within the political parties, but the whole expanded universe of news, opinion columnists, pundits, lobbyists, and so on.

The UK is in a slightly odd place on this. The media have as usual been horrendous (running all the anti-wind-farm scare stories), while the renewables expansion and coal phaseout has proceeded pretty well. We do even have some idle coal capacity in case of emergencies. What we don't have is quite enough gas. See previously 2021: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/sep/24/how-uk-ener...

"In 2013, the then energy minister Michael Fallon said the decision to allow Rough to close would save the UK £750m over 10 years."

.. at the cost of up to $100bn being proposed to subsidize emergency supplies. Absolutely classic "just in time" supply chain economics.

I would also say a lot of people in the UK share the blame for not taking Russia seriously enough as a threat after the terrorist attack in Salisbury and the shooting down of an airliner.
All large US companies are guilty of this behaviour, almost to the point that you can be certain any project with a large US corporate sponsor is going to have problems.
Software sharing solutions create a lot of attack surface and mean giving a personal laptop full control of a work laptop or vice versa. This pretty much violates every security team policy at every company.

I can only recommend such solutions between things like test automation or QA machines that have no security impact if compromised.

In my opinion CSS should not go anywhere near the component code. With bootstrap or something similar (even some dissimilar frameworks), much of the "extra styling" is achieved with utility classes. Not using utility classes and a consistent, thought-out CSS frameworks leads to great pain when scaling the codebase.

Bootstrap is a lot like React. You don't appreciate the "bloat" until you need it. Or worse, you recognize you reimplemented the wheel a dozen times without noticing and most of your "wheels" are polygons with a different number of edges.
> I asked DALL-E to draw a self portrait of itself and its family one time, and the results still make my hairs stand up.

Dall-E and other Image generation models are not conscious, and they aren't even intelligent. Stop anthropomorphizing them, it's not helpful. We will likely face this problem for real in the coming decades but there's no sense doing so with current models.
I had an EZ a few years ago. It took a few weeks to get used to it but I grew to like it quite a bit. I didn't have issues switching between traditional keyboards and it.

The build quality was questionable, and judging by the pictures it doesn't look like a whole lot has changed. Mine failed after approx 25 months. I believe the Mini USB (!) port failed, and unfortunately it couldn't be replaced due to the way the shell is injection molded into the PCB. They also wouldn't sell me a replacement half because "we're not sure if it will be compatible with your older half and the switches will feel different." Also, the cable/port connecting the two halves (mini audio style) was fidgety out of the gate.

At ~$320, this product was something that I expected to last at least a few years (and receive support for failing that.) I won't be buying anything from them again.
Turns out it's easier to reason with binary relationships so if you only use tables with 2 columns it's somewhat easier to infer things from your data.

Categories of products is a good example as they form a transitive relation, but not necessarily a strict hierarchy (any particular entity might be in multiple distinct categories).
The ones I had were around 60usd and had good enough sound for me. The only problem I had with them was the headband was built for small heads. Broke in the same spot twice. After second I just took the refund and got some Sony's.

Sound is pretty nice upgrade though even for someone like me that can't tell. Noise cancelling helps a lot over COVID too.
To be more precise, in Idris something like:

data Interval : Type where
From : (start : Int) -> Interval
Until : (end : Int) -> Interval
Bounded : (start : Int) -> (end : Int) -> {auto lt : LT start end} -> Interval

could work (I haven't used Idris in a bit, so this might not compile as is).

With this declaration this would compile:

intervals : List Interval
intervals = [ From 2
, Until 5
, Bounded 2 5
]

while this would not:

interval : List Interval
interval = Bounded 5 2

However, supplying that "lt" proof (implicitly or explicitly) could become tedious in some cases. The proof burden is often kind of a problem with dependent types. In such a case, the "start + offset" based approach might be preferable, even if it leads to a more complicated API.
>They pushed for renewables that required a huge amount of natural gas as backup for when the wind dropped or the sun went behind clouds and for the shutdown of alternatives like coal and nuclear

Except in France where they went all in on nuclear and ended up exactly as screwed as they are in Germany.
To be clear, people buy iphones because it's a status symbol with good marketing.

But also nothing youve written prevents what both of us want. The average user can use their iPhone as they always have. Those of us who care about freedom could install what we want. Apple sells phones. You dont need to defend everything they do, eh, they dont actually care about you or me.

Because it is essentially Armageddon?

Imagine a world where everything between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn is essentially uninhabitable due to consistently high Wet Bulb Temperatures. Right now, we have over 3 Billion people living in that band (40% of humanity), and about 30% of all commercial agriculture is done here. Bye-bye to both.

Imagine a world where everything between the tropic of that hemisphere and the Arctic/Antarctic circle of that hemisphere has massively chaotic weather, such that commercial agriculture at any significant/effective scale is either impossible or produces utterly unreliable crops from one year to the next. This is where the other 5 Billion (60%) live, and where the other 70% of commercial agriculture is done. Humans could probably live here (although Wet Bulb temps would also make large chunks uninhabitable for parts of the year), but where will the consistent and reliable supply of food come from? Not this part of the world, that’s for sure.

This leaves only the Arctic and Antarctic, which will be quite warm at this point, but has almost no topsoil (or even arable soil in the first place) worth mentioning, and could produce enough crops for only about 2-3% of current human populations.

Now imagine the other 97% of humanity fighting tooth and nail for the right to subsist off of the consistent and reliable food supply from this agriculture-poor part of the planet. Most people who are starving and desperate will gladly shred and decimate infrastructure if it means that they can live another day. And this is the infrastructure that permits efficient, large-scale agriculture and distribution systems that can feed civilizational populations above the single-digit millions level.

Sure, humanity will likely linger on for another century or two. But not as any sort of a serious technological society, nor in any significant numbers beyond the low millions.
They’re demanding Netflix “remove content deemed offensive to "Islamic and societal values"”

I thought Netflix had a headstrong commitment to diversity and inclusion. Let’s see if they say no to these countries.
It's not too late to invest in mining and energy extraction equities - many are still highly underpriced before the major funds roll into the sector
The Comission is nominated by the European Council - made up of the heads of government/state of the member states, which are usually democratically elected in some way - presumably your vote can influence who 1 particular member of the European Council is.

Then, the nomination of the Comission and individual comissioners are validated or not by the European Parliament, whose members are again chosen democratically in every member state.

So, while it is quite indirect, our vote does influence the membership of the comission.

Of course, as in any such system, the more direct way of gaining some kind of influence is to try to organize others to vote a certain way, to participate yourself, or to organize others to campaign together to directly convince/shame the members of the Comission or Parliament or Council to take particular policies.
It was too good to last, unfortunately.
Haha, me too, I read that sentence and closed the tab.
This is a bit like comparing apples and bananas and hens and toothpicks even within a single category. Take cars for example., Mazda Miata MX5 is #1 discussed item and for comparison sake Tesla is in #16. Love to see Tesla at the rank bottom but what is it that the discussions are comparing, except for some easily gameable metric like comment count.
A way to more meaningful podcast statistics
Is this incorrect information?
I have two Moonlanders and three Ergodox Ez keyboards from ZSA, and all have been great (one of each for the office, one for home usage). The build quality and software tools are very good: flashing a new layout from a browser is so much easier than needing extra tools.
Had an issue with one of the Moonlander halves with a key suddenly not working and got a replacement half immediately, without further discussion with support.
In theory, ads are great, I'd like to hear about products and services that can solve problems or improve my quality of life. In practice, my experience of ads on the web is to degrade the user experience of the page I came to see and to build intrusive personal profiles on what my interests are believed to be (which often seems to result in being repeatedly fed the same ads for products I've already purchased)

Anecdotally the best advertising I have engaged with and bought the most as a result of is content based, not personalised for me in any way (i.e. podcasts before dynamic ads became a thing)
It is just an initial value.
