Finally. Publish it all. Tracking of every vehicle, visible for everyone.

It has been that way with aircraft for a long time. Pilots, however, are such a minority that noone really cares.

Now that everyone is impacted, regulation might get updated (or someone might spend the time to identify existing regulation that prohibits this), and that would extend to other vehicles than those with wheels.
Your understanding is... well, interestingly wrong. That ("they never intended to leave the common market but to gain a trade deal that would leave market access substantially the same") _was_ the narrative pushed by the yes-for-brexit campaign, by and large, but expert opinion from the start was that this was not possible. The UK wanted to have full access to the common market (except for labour) but without following European laws. This was obviously, from the start, ridiculous positioning.

> However, the EU wouldn’t let them keep access in the divorce if for no reason other than as a cautionary tale for other member states.

How would you propose that this access would work, given that the UK refused to accept EU regulation?
Beautifully designed. Possibly needs a bit of work on recognising movie names and mispellings.
> the tax cut being proposed in the uk at least addresses #3 above

It doesn't address it in any meaningful way. That tax cut only benefits the significantly well-off while doing nothing about the lower classes.

In the lower class, this cut doesn't give you any further incentive to work (you're screwed and won't be able to afford your rent or energy bills regardless so may as well not even bother), and the upper class never really needed an incentive.

IMO, it shouldn't been the opposite - completely abolish tax on anything under 50k or so and make it up by taxing company profits higher.

Of course, you could say "fuck the poor" and not care about them as long as the "rich" are doing fine, but the problem is that a lot of "rich" stay there only because there's there's a steady supply of "poor" that buys their goods/services (not saying this in a bad way) - now if all those "poor" are too poor to have money for discretionary spending, a lot of businesses from the "rich" will no longer have any customers to stay afloat and close, leading to job losses, etc - furthermore businesses that serve those businesses will also see a downturn, etc - essentially a cascading failure, and this doesn't even mention the other downsides that tend to come with extreme, widespread poverty such as people resorting to crime as they're out of options.

Kids. When covid started in March 2020, my son was 3 months old. I thought seeing him a bit in the morning, evenings and weekends will be fine beforehand. Oh boy was I mistaken. I got 120% parenting while working remote, sometimes had to be with him whole day alone, while working, on various meetings. Extremely bonding but very tough.

Then my daughter was born. I've realized how easy it is to have just 1 child (although it certainly didn't feel like with first only), and probably the reason why I don't have siblings. Its frequently overwhelming, 2 at the same time if only 1 parent is managing them. Since we don't have family around nor nanny so far its quite often. You hit the walls and limits of your mental fortitude repeatedly, sometimes way too often. 120% went to 240%, I mean days where I did handle both of them alone and they didn't die or end up horribly injured are one of those days I am and will be proud of. Its manageable till it isn't, and when it isn't its tough.

But I wouldn't have changed it for anything. Family is the most important item in life, I used to be introverted loner who could handle off time from humans very well (and still do, apart form my kids). Compared to things like salary, career or geeky stuff, all this is just pale meh low priority stuff compared to them.

This experience completely changed me, my priorities, goals in life, expectations. I understand how divorced dads wanting but unable to see their offsprings growing up are utterly hopelessly f**ed. Compared to all this, covid was just some less important item happening out there. Even though we got it at least 3 times, all via our kids from kindergarten.
I long wondered about this... How does card reading work?

Are regular smartcard readers compatible? Does the card have NFC for phones? Can you use them under Linux/mac? Do regular browsers work with it? (FIDO/webauthn).

Or is the card reader a standalone device, like my bank uses, where you key in your PIN, and it gives you a one-time code, or a response to a challenge?

> They never intended to leave the common market or eschew all regulatory commonality.

That is how some people advertised it to yes voters, but from the start May's and then Johnson's government were clear that they would not accept freedom of movement or the jurisdiction of the ECJ (both of which Norway has). And even if the EU was willing to do another Switzerland (unlikely), that _still_ has to accept freedom of movement and, well, something that, while not the ECJ, could easily be mistaken for it in a dark alley.
That is not correct.

Spending is the appropriate response when faced with a demand driven recession. This is a supply driven recession and reducing govt demand may not be a bad idea.

They are used indirectly through distance. At the time, the meter was defined as one ten millionth of the distance between the north pole and equator through the Paris meridian. That means that the meter corresponds to 1/100000 of a grad of latitude -- which is better read as "a kilometre is 1/100 of a grad".

This is symmetrical to the nautical mile, which is one minute of arc.

"That’s not even close to accurate, first the clearance rate has actually been falling."

While this is true, they are two different scenarios.

Clearance rate is generally low. However, if you have a serial killer thsy gains public attention they will dedicate order of magnitude more resources to that case. Frankly, a lot of murders don't even make the news, and many of those don't get very much in the way of resources from police. Then we have the circumstances around each murder. In some places, the people in the neighborhood don't want to get involved and talk. It's also more likely that you leave more evidence if you're committing additonal crimes.

So I agree with both of you - clearance rate is falling and it's less likely to have publicly known serial killers go unsolved.
This result isn’t surprising at all though, compared to financial success. Obviously athleticism would be physically visible on the face (and probably be considered more attractive).

I'm interested in this from the perspective of learning maths, rather than writing code (for now).

I've wondered for a few years now whether teaching angles and trig using turns, rather than degrees or radians, would be better from the very beginning. Degrees are arbitrary and based on the numeric preferences of a dead culture, rather than on what's happening on the page or in 3d space. Radians seem better because the units are related to a property of the circle, but they're hard to visualise and reason about because they don't fit a circle in whole numbers. Surely turns are the most clear.

I'm rusty and don't practice maths much. If I did I'd probably have the skills of 14y/o me, for anything outside set theory. I'd definitely do a trigonometry course based on turns if I could find one.

If you differentiate sin(x) with respect to x then you get cos(x), but only if your trig functions are using radians. Any other unit results in an extra coefficient appearing. That’s not an insurmountable problem, but radians are the fundamental unit here, not just an arbitrary choice.

Not with a recession looming, as the article points out. I’d be interested in upskilling suggestions that are smaller sized chunks.

Online nano degrees seem to be too watered down to take seriously. Need to position self for late 2023.
The post says that programmers convert to radians to call APIs that take radians and then immediately divide by pi before computing the sine. So doing everything in radians would still involve an extra floating point divide compared to the alternative.
> So, what do mainframes have that microcomputers don't?

Some high-end UNIX servers have historically had many of the features you mention – yet generally not considered "mainframes". Conversely, low-end IBM mainframes (such as the 43xx series) often lacked some of those reliability features – and I'm not sure if all the contemporary non-IBM mainframe platforms have them (especially the ones which are nowadays emulated).

I think the real definition of "mainframe" is historical rather than being in terms of any particular technological features. Primarily it refers to high-end commercial-focused (i.e. not supercomputer) computing platforms from before 1980, and their later compatible descendants (which weren't necessarily all that high-end).

(That said, "mainframe" and "supercomputer" are historically overlapping categories, since some 1980s supercomputers such as the Hitachi S-3800 were S/370-based and hence arguably belong to both categories; similar remarks could be made about the IBM 3838, or NEC SX-1 and SX-2.)

> But the architecture of Unix/Linux isn't channel-oriented

Unix and Linux run on IBM mainframes and use IBM mainframe channels for IO. z/Linux uses IBM mainframe channels. So did AIX/370, AIX/ESA, VM/IX, IX/370, and Amdahl UTS. And, z/OS is officially speaking Unix too (it is certified as such by The Open Group)

Channels are an implementation detail which usually only OS device drivers need to concern themselves with. (Historically some applications interacted with channels directly – e.g. EXCP on MVS – but IBM strongly discourages that approach nowadays, they'll recommend you use VSAM or DB2 instead, in which all those low-level details are hidden from the application.)

Exactly. I asked Per Thorsheim once about resetting 2FA creds, something that is viable for banks etc. that hold a lot of semi-private data which can be used to verify your data but for a much smaller startup with basic account info.

He said he didn't know how it would be done securely.

I see a lot of attacks are due to account takeover and we currently seem torn between allowing an attacker to circumvent the 2FA by account reset or leaving someone unable to access their account for ever.

I started scanning 2FA codes into two phones, my main one and one that I leave hidden at home (and switched off) for backups. Knowing my luck though, I'll ned to access the one that I forgot to scan into the second phone!

Allow me to correct: "Mcmaster.com is the best e-commerce site I've ever used" that only those of you in the US, or possibly North America, will be able to use in any practical sense, which is I'd guess at most about 60-70% of HN's readership.

I got pretty excited looking at this site because I'm refurbishing my home at the moment, and doing most of the work myself, so new suppliers of materials and tools always catch my eye. I'm not sure Screwfix et al really cut it next to this but then, of course, I noticed all the prices are in dollars and all the measurements are of the somewhat ironically named imperial variety.

Is there anything like this for the UK market? I've noticed that CPC and their various subsidiaries (Farnell, for example) can be pretty good, depending on what you need. But you seem to need a set that includes Screwfix, Toolstation, CPC, Farnell, RS, and a bunch of tool vendors (like SGS and Toolden) to really cover it off. I ended up buying specialist drillbits from a niche supplier that I can't even remember the name of now.

The plan is to convert the existing pipe network to use hydrogen. British Gas are planning to trial it starting with a village of around 2000 homes next year. Meanwhile modern boilers are often being sold as "hydrogen-ready" in preparation for the switch.
It's probably controversial to say, because we _want_ to be better than just animals, but the hard truth is that we are still animalistic in every sense and physical appearance plays a fundamental role in absolutely everything in life.

Being good looking, tall and physically fit is the biggest privilege in life. You don't need to be Jeff Bezos rich, if you look good you can pick and choose partners as and when you wish. You can live out some of your craziest fantasies because women/men will do things which they wouldn't do in normal circumstances. Married people will cheat because they want a taste of you, people will be extremely inviting to you even they don't know you, people will give you the benefit of trust, they will be extra friendly, at Christmas parties people will seek conversations with you which will increase your social score at work and help with promotions because popular people are more likely to get given extra opportunities and responsibilities and so forth. In short, if you are good looking you will be able to experience things in life which so many people will never even dream of. Things that you'd think only happen to filthy rich people or in movies will all of a sudden happen to you even when you didn't look for it. Doors just open and you will be able to either say yes or no to those chances in life.

I am not saying it is good, as mentioned, we try to be better than this, but the facts speak against it.

A "War Olympiad" would allow countries to compete with their actual military hardware and best troops without killing anyone.

sin(x) ~~ x only in radians, so honestly that's reason enough.

Once in a while we get programmers wanting to disrupt mathematical notation for whatever reason... Worst I've seen so far was one arguing that equations should be written with long variable names (like in programming) instead of single letters and Greek letters. Using turns because it's a little easier in specific programming cases is just as short-sighted, I'd say, it doesn't "scale out" to the myriad of other applications of angles.
> those adapters actually draw a surprising amount of power if they have a DAC!

Do they? Intuitively I would imagine that they do not consume much more than the same DAC inside the phone. I use such adapters a lot and never really noticed anything out of the ordinary related to battery life nor the part with the DAC getting warmer.

On the other hand, the sound quality of these adapters is surprisingly good, in the same league as dedicated audio interfaces[0].

Right, it is a funny way to say it.

Computationally, we all only ever work with approximations, but when doing mathematics, pi is exact all the way out to the infinity-th digit. To multiply by pi (or any irrational, but particularly transcendental) in a pure mathematical context is to audaciously specify an infinitely long computational process. It is dizzying to contemplate, almost mystical. Sort of like modular arithmetic with an infinitely-precise irrational modulus.
