I've just read this series, and yes for it at least "excellent" is the right word. From this one series I learnt a lot about how bankers, insurance agencies and engineers collaborate to delivery large novel projects.

Or at least how the Europeans do it. It's involves a remarkable amount of cooperation and trust building, among many parties, and it delivered. I had no idea it was so complex. I guess it's done in much the same way in the rest of the OECD.

Societies (and ergo countries) that can't pull that off must be at a huge disadvantage compared to those who can. So much so, that it seems likely it explains the entire difference between OECD levels of affluence, and societies on the brink in other parts of the world.

This is a bit of a nitpick, but L2s don’t charge slowly. Ours gets us about 30 miles per hour, so we get fully charged after a normal day’s worth of driving in about 30 minutes.
A lot of what I am complaining about is actually people older than me peddling "advise" - how to become a data analyst (no understanding of data required!).

It just feels like Facebook-tier people given the content equivalent of a machine gun.
And I saw that phrase on a poster in a Baltimore takeout joint just the other day. It resonates powerfully still.
Feels like the right move. The whole point of VPN is to maintain some level of privacy. If all that data is logged and is to be produced on demand, Proton can’t really claim to be a VPN company.
That’s true for C/C++ for clang and GCC if you use -fdata-sections for compiling and linking. -function-sections does a similar thing for duplicate functions.

This doesn’t work across executable boundaries (ie shared libraries) for obvious reasons. Not sure if D’s approach makes that work.
False. Especially if you shop at Costco (bulk quantities).

> Salted butter does not need to be stored in the fridge since the risk of bacterial growth is so low. Studies have shown that butter has a shelf life of many months, even when stored at room temperature ( 6 , 10 ). However, it will stay fresh longer if it is kept in the refrigerator.
No, it was a broad smattering of different popular conservative news outlets and think tanks vs left-wing outlets and think tanks. It's very hard to directly compare any two news sources from opposite sides of the political isle so I didn't even try.

I encourage you to look at the list though and derive your own opinions. My point is that it's not just people freely editing, there are strict rules and these rules are political. I mean think about the Hunter Biden laptop story; it was published by the New York Post, but they were (and are) banned at the time. Meanwhile many "reputable" organizations (according to this list) were lying about the laptop insinuating (if not claiming) it was Russia disinformation or otherwise fake. How would you get the truth through to Wikipedia? The reality is you couldn't, because of the political bias, and this showed through at the time where pages on the topic claimed it was fake/disinformation even though it was obvious it wasn't.
Maybe increased popularity to the legislator in question? Surely no bill comes without some ulterior motive.

I'll do that as well, but what's the difference between saving in folders like I did vs in git for my purpose(which is to revise the codes later on, look at them and get new insights). Currently the code is so blabbered that IDK why I wrote that, IDK when I wrote, IDK in what context I wrote. That's the worst way to store codes for learning. that's given from my experience. Maybe just me.

The people who can afford to buy and maintain that sort of thing aren't going throw their life away with it in a petty crime. Almost all gun violence is gang related and committed with handguns.
The series seems to focus mostly on <0.5GW projects. Maybe bigger projects are assembled from those?
Its funny, cassette nostalgia seems pretty absurd for anyone like me who was around during that era.

I understand Vinyl nostalgia because they have the nice artwork and they were typically better mastered than equivalent CDs, but cassettes only reason for living was the fact they were relatively cheap at the time, compact, could record onto them, and there were portable walkman and car players. The sound quality was always relatively average even with the best decks like the dragon, more so with pre-recorded media that was often dubbed at high speed.

CD-R drive and disk prices started to drop massively by around 1995, the real adoption tipping point occurred when blank discs started to cost less than stamped music discs, then really took off late 90s once computers became fast enough to avoid buffer underruns which was the bugbear in earlier times.

I actually worked for a firm at the time where one of their offerings was to go onsite and archive data for big companies onto CD-R - their onsite IT often wasted a lot of media with buffer underruns because they were a bit clueless - I would go onsite, create an ISO image on harddisk, then use a Linux box with custom scripts to kill off every unneeded service and changed IRQ priority to burn the CD. Fun times :)
They could verify the security of the oss, look for vulnerabilities, run scanners. This is possible because log4j is OSS.
It's still a VPN, just not an anonymous one.

>Do you think that there's some bar you have to have to clear where if your rights are violated they won't care if you aren't "marginalized" enough?

There absolutely is. You can start with the deafening silence regarding the treatment the people who have been locked up for the last 2 years for being accused of trespassing in the Capitol on Jan 6th. It doesn't matter how corrupt Trump is, or how stupid his followers are, the abuses by the DOJ in these cases have been absolutely horrific. You could look at the (mostly minority) young men who are being railroaded and destroyed by Kafkaesque Title IX rules at colleges. Where are the principled stands for people who are abhorrent or distasteful, but whose rights are being violated? You think the ACLU of today would take the same, principled stand on a KKK march in Skokie, like they did in 1978? Not a chance. There has been a pronounced shift by everyone from the ACLU to the Sierra Club away from their core missions into "social justice" organizations. It is not only possible, but desirable to plainly and openly call out authoritarian overreach by the government (such as the access of these private cameras in San Fran) without shoehorning in a social justice agenda which is entirely irrelevant to the abuses in question.
I do get that the fact you can't Cmd-Tab between windows of an app as well as apps is annoying.

My idea rests on the fact that there are such things as “non-human” moves, I.e moves that a human could not calculate. It’s these that we’re interested in, and an AI should be able to “learn” to detect them, (as these types of moves will occur much less frequently in genuine human games.)

It can be achieved this way - take real games, and pick a random point in the game. Either replace the move with a bot move, or leave the original move. If it is possible to discern a difference between the play styles of humans and computers, even if only in certain situations, then the AI will be able to.

Crucially, this AI would be able to differentiate between good moves that humans and bots agree on, and good moves that only the bots generally make. Of course, you would need to feed the AI mostly 2200+ rated games for this to have any chance of success.
It's hard to follow what they meant when describing the button pushing.
>Two indicator lights (red/green) serve as attention getters and ensure a far reaching call function when a respective message is displayed. The red light is used for system and emergency information, the green light for communication information. The lights are steady in normal situations and will flash in emergency situations.

>The ACPs give a long-range visual indication about the system status (e.g. PAX call active). They are installed at the ceiling in the middle of the aisle between the passenger/crew doors, close to
the attendant stations.

>The lighted segments are activated either continuously (steady) or flashing.
In case of "normal" calls they are not flashing (steady), in case of "abnormal" or "emergency" situations they will flash. Only the blue PAX call field will never flash, this will be always a "normal" indication

These indicator lights would be helpful in narrowing down if the emergency system was being engaged or not. Could potentially point to exploitation/hack of the PA system rather than rogue utilization of normal functions.
You HAVE to write an article about it.
Absolutely insane specs. Amazing.
Of course one or more people benefit from every piece of legislation. If a legislator does it to get elected then that's the best case scenario for democracy, right?
I gave Reader a good kick, shook out the debris from the tree and made it look a bit more like a "modern" (ha!) Nextcloud app and with that it should work again on current Nextcloud. Find it here:

Ask HN: Have you productized your development services?

Such rifles are huge, heavy, expensive, and difficult to transport. I can't find a single instance of a .50 BMG rifle being used to murder someone in the US. Anti-gun groups like Violence Policy Center have one report of a .50 caliber rifle being used in a homicide[1], but Adam Wickizer was a convicted felon and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.[2] That double-disqualifies him from possessing firearms. He most likely used a .50 caliber muzzle-loader black powder rifle, which is far less powerful and does not require a background check to acquire.

If you want to restrict things based on how often they're used in crimes, you probably want to go after handguns. Around half of murders are committed with handguns.[3] Rifles of any kind are used in ~3% of homicides. For comparison, twice as many people are murdered with bare hands than with rifles. And despite civilians owning .50 BMGs for over a century, nobody can find an instance of someone in the US being murdered with one. In short, the data does not support restricting these things.

We already have this. You hire some idiot to sign off on your FIPS-140. They are getting paid under the table by IBM. They swear that the only way to comply with FIPS-140 is to use RHEL. The only company I ever worked at that hasn't fallen for this scam is Google, who self-certify everything including their crypto stack. But every other smaller company (i.e. all other companies) are just terrified of not getting government contracts and are in thrall to these consultants.

> you would need to find a way to sign into your old account (which requires your MacOS/iOS passkey to log in)

Chrome and iOS will pop up a QR code for webauthn over BLE or whatever it's called (there's also caBLE[0]) whenever you're either enrolling or trying to log in via webauthn. This means that, as long as you have access to any device with your old passkeys, you can log in on your browser/android phone.

All fair points. This is particularly true in the case of most of the solar systems around me, all of which are barely adequate for the homes where they are installed. This is one aspect of the solar industry nobody talks about. The other day I saw a report about this guy who was charged $50K for the installation of a dozen panels.

I designed and installed my own system. I regularly supply 8 to 9 kW to the grid (peak, of course). When the grid has gone down, I can turn on the system and supply the entire house without any issues at all, even without a battery.

I will probably install batteries sometime next year. The cost is still high. I need to wait until the ROI makes sense. My ultimate goal is to completely disconnect from the grid if possible. My guess is that I'll probably have to double my system size in order to be able to achieve this.
So, will this finally provoke reform in the typical corporate software developer interview process? It’s been decades since using a library became the right answer to deploying a well-known data structure or algorithm.
What does a BB gun have to do with this, why are you making that comparison?
For example .50 BMG rounds are $3-6 per round. Live 20mm rounds require a $200 tax stamp per round and I couldn't even find a place where you could buy live ones.
We do B2B software in banking and this is something we've been anticipating for quite some time now. We were implicated in that log4j exploit via a (very) transitive, cross-language dependency.

We killed 100% of our Java usage over this. We simply don't have enough in-house talent to make sure things are safe in that bucket. Our customers thought this was a glorious plan as well.

I do think most of the pain should fall to the vendors of the end product, not their oss suppliers. If your shop doesn't have enough resources to validate all vendors are safe, maybe figure out how to do it with fewer vendors.

At a certain level, if you are selling deficient products to sensitive customers, you really need to be stopped. Anything impacting finance, PII, safety, infrastructure, defense, etc. Some extra regulations could go a long way in these areas.

I’m saying this as someone who finds what you’ve written interesting and somewhat resonating with me: many many EE designs have zero need for an engineer of record. The vast majority of electronics designs in the world have never had a PEng stamp come anywhere near them. Of the EE PEngs I know, I can’t think of one who has ever actually used their stamp, they just got it either symbolically or for a small pay bump.
I applaude you for keeping things simple, not over-engineering, and resisting the urge to use the latest tech.
I love the Seinfeld joke!
If a cyclist has to yield to every passing car, then in any busy area (where most people travel) the cyclist effectively always has to be off to the side, which is not safe.

If the cyclist is not occupying an actual lane to themselves then they are constantly being passed too close by fast moving vehicles, and in danger of running into the suddenly-opening doors of parked cars or surprise pedestrians.

Seriously, if you go somewhere where drivers are respectful of cyclists you’ll see it’s just so easy for it all to work smoothly and safely. The impatience of drivers, at the expense of others safety, is astounding to me.

Also it should be noted that motorists give each other space for selfish reasons; they may damage their car or themselves if they collide with another car. If they hit a cyclist chances are they’ll kill or permanently maim the cyclist, but do little damage to their car, and so they have little reason to care. (!!!!!!)
I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was the case - kind of like an internet flash mob all in on the joke, waiting for reputable news sources to pick it up and show their lack of journalistic integrity.

How does that work? “Foo” isn’t a prefix of “Foobar” because it’s actually “Foo\0” and “Foobar\0”.
I guess I'll be the odd one out in this thread. 2-3 years worth of expenses sounds like a fairly small buffer for someone that has 20+ years of experience and currently makes 4x their monthly expenses. where is it all going?

I can't tell you what's best for you, but personally I would not choose this moment as the time to stop trying to make money for 1-2 years. assuming you live in the US, you are halfway through your career and not on track to retire after part two. if I were in your situation and really hated the current gig, I would probably try to find a new job with comparable pay and arrange for a 1-2 month gap before starting.

Chief Metaverse Officers Are Getting Million-Dollar Paydays. What Do They Do?
sure, but the point is that they are trying to tell people what they do. The existence of the podcast is proof of that. So, why can't they just put the podcast information in the normal information sources?

It feels odd that an organization that is likely incredibly good at foreign propaganda, seemingly falls flat for personal PR.
It's not false. He didn't say it "should be store at room temperature" in the sense that's the only way to store it, or in the sense that putting it in the fridge wont last longer.

He said "should be store at room temperature" in the sense that that's the best way to store it: that way it still lasts a perfect long time, more than enough to consume (many months - as also noted by the article you noted) AND it's always ready to spread, cook, etc and not cold.

The case about "if you shop at bulk" (which might change the tradeoffs) is not Musk's. For one, I doubt Musk needs to shop at bulk to save money...

(And even if you buy 20 pounds, it will still be consumed in a few months)
I don't entirely agree with you (nor do I totally disagree), but I wish this comment was not so heavily downvoted. This is a good perspective worth discussion. Importantly, this is also how a lot of people outside the industry will see it.
The purchase of bonds by the Fed for the purpose of rolling over its holdings is not on the open market. It is not doing 10% of the same thing it did to build that balance sheet during QE again every year.

Dynamic websites is a core idea of the modern internet and that concept did not exist in 1994 internet. JavaScript did not exist.

Modern internet is also real-time and largely community driven. Even the notion of these did not exist in 1994 internet. Websockets did not exist. Social networks did not exist. Video conferencing did not exist. Collaborative document editing did not exist.

The ideas of wearables and always connected devices (smart watches, speakers, thermostats, lights, etc) did not exist in 1994.

The idea that you could create virtual worlds, ie a metaverse, where anyone and everyone could interact by talking and even manipulating objects in the virtual world did not exist in 1994.

The idea of aggregating user behavior across every connected device they use, site they visit, physical location they visit, and generating a prediction of their likes/dislikes and future behavior in order to tailor the actual user experience to each individual (targeted advertising, your personal google search results, etc) is a mind blowing core idea of the modern internet which did not exist in 1994.

How does this compare to other common deployment options for cost, scaling, etc.?
Yes, this is also what I most appreciate about Apple’s approach. They’re the only company that care about calibrated displays on consumer products. Even top-end TVs like LG OLEDs ship with terrible default settings. The only display that’s as color accurate out-of-box as Apple’s are the ones on my professional camera.

If I edit a photo and I send it to someone with an iPhone I know the colors will look exactly like how I intended it to look. You can’t say the same about Androids because the screens often aren’t even trying to be color accurate.

I’m never sure if some of the photo file types are an extension of Apple’s “walled garden” approach or if other companies just make lazy products. But the rarity of consumer displays that aren’t tuned for maximum blue-light emission is maddening and other companies really need to step up their game in this area.
