The market would come to the same conclusion in time but only if they are right. The conclusion about the need for incentives is therefore wrong. It will just encourage rent seeking and destroy efficiency. It's important for the government to support optimal price finding instead by removing possible oddities in how energy prices are created.
I works out to about 12.5 amps for a normal 15 amp plug. You can't draw the full rated current continuously.

With an MWBC circuit you can however supply two different 15 amp plugs with a single cable 14/3 cable fed off a 15 amp duplex breaker. So it slightly reduces the amount of copper you need to run.
Hmm, many languages but no common lisp.

> I've never explicitly installed Keychain on my iphone and yet it shows as an option next to 1password every time I fill in a password field

It is worth noting that KeyChain was introduced in Mac OS 8.6 in 1999, and has been part of every version of macOS since then, as well as every version of iOS ever. It's basically the user credential subsystem for Apple operating systems.

As I understand it, 1Password came out in 2006.

When I looked at it last, it seemed that 1Password didn't interoperate well with KeyChain and also required a subscription - decisions which I found unappealing.

That’s the point. You can still lose weight on IIFYM. The issue is people conflated “weight loss” with fitness.

I can lose weight on the tapeworm diet. It’s doesn’t mean it’s healthy. They’re two different (but sometimes related) goals, so they are easily conflated.
As long as the internal combustion engine is banned the EV revolution is entirely feasible. No one said everyone would be able to afford to drive an EV. Just that people would stop driving internal combustion engine vehicles.
There's also the Nazi-level human experimentation which needs to be remembered. In particular, the CIA-funded MKULTRA Montreal Experiments consisted of such horrible torture of unwilling and unaware innocent civilians that several people had their identity essentially erased from their own memory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra#Experiments_on_Canadia...

"Cameron ... experimented with various paralytic drugs as well as electroconvulsive therapy at thirty to forty times the normal power. His "driving" experiments consisted of putting subjects into drug-induced comas for weeks at a time (up to three months in one case) while playing tape loops of noise or simple repetitive statements. His experiments were often carried out on patients who entered the institute for common problems such as anxiety disorders and postpartum depression, many of whom suffered permanent effects from his actions. His treatments resulted in victims' urinary incontinence, amnesia, forgetting how to talk, forgetting their parents and thinking their interrogators were their parents."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/03/montreal-brain...

"Patients were subjected to high-voltage electroshock therapy several times a day, forced into drug-induced sleeps that could last months and injected with megadoses of LSD.

After reducing them to a childlike state – at times stripping them of basic skills such as how to dress themselves or tie their shoes – Cameron would attempt to reprogram them by bombarding them with recorded messages for up to 16 hours at a time. First came negative messages about their inadequacies, followed by positive ones, in some cases repeated up to half a million times.

“He couldn’t get his patients to listen to them enough so he put speakers in football helmets and locked them on their heads,” said Johnson. “They were going crazy banging their heads into walls, so he then figured he could put them in a drug induced coma and play the tapes as long as he needed.”

Along with intensive bouts of electroshock therapy, Johnson’s grandmother was given injections of LSD on 14 occasions. “She said that made her feel like her bones were melting. She would say: ‘I don’t want these,’” said Johnson. “And the doctors and nurses would say to her: ‘You’re a bad wife, you’re a bad mother. If you wanted to get better, you would do this for your family. Think about your daughter.’”"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_experiments#Patients

"None of them had given informed consent to the procedures, or were aware of the experiments being conducted. This was a gross violation of the Nuremberg Code."

"To this day, neither the Canadian government nor the CIA have issued formal apologies for their involvement and funding of Project MKUltra or the Montreal experiments."

"Participants often suffered from retrograde amnesia for the rest of their lives and had to relearn most skills they had. Many were in a childlike state and even had to be potty-trained."
In theory, someone could exploit a 0-day and write this software for you.

So, I recant my position that it will never happen. It could happen if you found a really talented developer who was naive enough to do it, or a nihilist or something.
The reason for the control I suggested is to try to counteract the bias people have towards noticing things they recently thought about. I think the question of what adverts people are shown in general is interesting but quite separate.
It seems the key is non-recourse debt which is a great way to align the goals of the financiers with the owners.

Oh when I say "the right thing", it includes actually making money. We're not just building a dev focused cloud because it's fun (it is fun!). We think it's a good business with a very large market. An IPO would be fine!
After controlling for that I meant. But smoke and wildfire could have exacerbated Covid in certain areas too.

Yes, people in large metropolises have been indifferent to each other for ages.

Everywhere else in the US, it used to be the case that you would make small talk with people while waiting at the doctor's office, in barbershops, in the line at the grocery store, wherever.
> Speaking of incentive structures, one of my former employers installed EV chargers in all of the bottom floors of our parking garage while explicitly not allowing non-EVs to park in those spaces.

Sounds like it worked out great for them — people who could afford living in single detached houses (generally the richer ones, and therefore generally the management) now get reserved parking out of the pollen. The people who are inconvenienced (i.e. you) weren't the people involved in the decision anyway.
I don't know why nobody has brought this up yet... while you embark on the journey of finding a good therapist that you can work with, if you are not opposed to the idea, adopt a small pet, dog maybe. A pet has great potential to enrich your life in many ways while still giving you plenty of "me/alone" time. Hopefully that will help you ride out some rough patches without feeling too lonely. If you do go down that path, do your research before hand on what it entails to have a pet.
I'm not saying this is good, but in some previous life, we kept the tour "slides" in the code, and just registered which slide set was seen in the db. If the slide set wasn't seen and was in the code, we'd show it.

I think the first step should be making a conceptual separation between developers and distributors, even when they are just different roles of the same person. A developer can share code with other developers, but once you start sharing the code to a wide audience, you are acting as a distributor.

Consumer protection laws tend to expect that consumer products should be safe by default. Products intended for professionals and businesses often have fewer requirements, but they should also be safe with reasonable precautions. Someone in the supply chain must take responsibility for that.

As is common in legal matters, this is more about intentions and reasonable expectations than exact definitions. GitHub can probably avoid responsibility by arguing that it's just a platform that allows developers to share their code. If you are hosting a popular package repository for some programming language, you must take some responsibility as the distributor, even if your users can be reasonably expected to be sophisticated. And if you are hosting a package repository for a consumer OS, you should probably take consumer protection laws into account.
Yeah, that’s the biggest flaw in the experiment I proposed, I think. This is the reason I try to have the hopefully independent grading of ad-topic-relevancy blinded to which system the topic was communicated over. It may be that one sees many vaguely related ads for the WhatsApp topic due to some selection bias but a similar number of actually related ads.
So is sex addiction, food addiction, videogame addiction and many other kinds of addiction to things which are pleasant and normal yet maladaptive when overdone.

Its coinbase's money though? Are they not supposed to be able to specify how their own money is used? I'm just not sure I understand what the objection is. I don't endorse it but I don't see how this is inconsistent or hypocritical or legalized bribery or whatever
Which technology?
Apple making sure you cannot swap the HD in your computer? Hate.
Facebook debilitating the encryption in WhatsApp? Hate.
Google ñ, erasing the distinction between ads and content? Hate.
Android being by default a distraction machine in service of ads? Hate.

Emacs being open and lisp configurable ? Love, love.
Unix everything being a file? Love
Smalltalk? Love
Wikipedia? Love
The open self-hosted web? Love times infinity.

So basically I hate technology that is no made in service of the better angels of our nature.
You've forgotten the part where browsers at the time sucked. They crashed all the time and were slow, and chrome was 1000x better than anything that existed on the market. It was a significantly better browser which is why everyone chose to abandon their web engines and move over
A web-based instrument based on the Roland TR-909 drum machine from the 1980s
I think you are right.

I tried linux recently. Was surprisingly nice in some ways...but constant bugs.

First it was my bluetooth being strange to pair. Then mouse movement/scrolling just felt wierd. Gnome file picker being shit. Then app scaling issues everywhere...

Just one annoyance after another. Not something I have the energy to deal with.
It depends on the workload. Copy-up is more expensive than snapshots. If it's ext4+overlayfs, then copy-up is really expensive (full file copy), whereas if it's btrfs or XFS then it's reflink copies. Much more efficient. But btrfs snapshots in effect are instant reflink copies. But then overlayfs has the benefit of shared pages.

Also, at least Btrfs snapshots are more logical, like files; than physical, like blocks. Whereas LVM snapshots are separate (logical) block devices, Btrfs snapshots are file b-trees on the same file system.

Maybe the overlay2 graph driver (the driver used in Docker or Podman to interface with the kernel) is getting more usage and thus maturing more quickly, compared to the btrfs graph driver? I think upstream Docker/Moby are defaulting to the btrfs graph driver if /var/lib/docker is on Btrfs. Meanwhile on Fedora where Btrfs is the default for desktops, and Cloud edition, Podman defaults to overlay2 graph driver no matter the underlying file system.
Lessons from PostgreSQL's Git transition (2010)
Hahaha, brilliant. As a kid in UK IRC then Napster freed my mind from isolation due to my geekiness. There was one other kid in school into programming then getting online there was whole world.

We didn’t even have free local calls so being able to chat with a F/14/California was mind blowing! Funny how many of them there were…
That looks like rusted iron residue transferred from the sheet metal backing of the target. They had a board down the middle that they had to cut away to extract the bullet so it was encased in the wood for a while with vaporized metal and water before they got it out.
This could work for leased cars or fleet vehicles.

I already don’t want to swap my propane tank for someone else’s rusted piece of crap so I have it filled. No way if want to swap my 20k battery for who knows what.
Assuming that you are able to easily trigger the hashing with salt enough times for you to adjust the image... right? Any idea (ballpark) how many such test iterations would you need?

Great work btw!
I can only speak on Tauri, which I’ve been using to build a video editor, but with most of the heavy code living on the Rust side, the UI remains snappy and responsive even while the “backend” is seeking through videos or whatever.

I’m using Svelte, but I don’t think that matters too much. The popular front end frameworks are close enough in performance IMO. I think it would really come down to dividing up the operations so the expensive ones run in native code instead of JS.
They all do push their respective browsers but I wouldn’t say they ‘force’ them. All my devices are Apple devices and I use Edge on all of them, so…
Did anyone get the sense the article was dancing around the main point with vague language? They left it ambiguous about whether they meant effectively all charging should switch to the day or a portion should switch (to give some kind of optimal balance).

I haven't looked at the model but it seems really odd to think that there shouldn't still be some night charging, to soak up the fixed capacity that's there to cover variations in solar/wind.
It wasn't meant to be profound. It was meant to be correct. And it wasn't "things change over time".
Very short sighted to think it's about "your" individual power consumption.

There are over a billion iPhones in use today. Assuming 10% of them get charged during peak times, each one shaving a watt off of its peak is 100000 kilowatts of load reduced from the energy grid.

Considering the number is probably a lot higher, and the load reduction a lot greater, my estimate is probably pretty conservative. And then further consider that this is being rolled out to iPads, Macbooks, and Apple Watches as well. It starts to add up!
Nitter provides superior UX even though it takes 10 times longer to load. Think about that, I’m waiting 15 seconds because that is more enjoyable than Twitter’s native interface. No nags, no autoplay videos, no repeated clicking to see a single thread, reasonable amounts of whitespace.
I can't tell if this comment is meant to be sarcastic or not.
Interesting tidbit. According to Part 6 the lifespan of off-shore wind farms is now considered to be between 30-40 years:

"projects in 2011 would typically have assumed a 20 year operational life, but the industry has moved towards 35 years as a standard and some players now even expect that 40 years is achievable"

It sounds like you want “deno compile” (https://deno.land/manual@v1.25.4/tools/compiler) plus “no-explicit-any” eslint rule (https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/blob/...).

Or are you wanting a language with different semantics that could be compiled to actual machine code?
Upgrading a 2006 iPod Video for Lossless Audio
I think it's pretty individual. I'm currently reading 30 year old medical books on Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) by Jay A. Goldstein. I've been comparing it to current long covid research to get an idea on where progress has and hasn't been made. It has been enlightening to see how much of what is considered new today was known back then.

> ...of a 422-grain copper bullet...

> The shot was made with a custom-built rifle chambered for the .416 Barrett cartridge

That's a huge bullet that was specifically designed for low-supersonic drag and extreme long range. It has a huge amount of energy at the muzzle... (8,767.4 ft-lb or 11,887 J according to wikipedia[1]) so ~600fps down range, even at 4.4 miles, is not that surprising.

The only surprising feat here is they managed to actually hit a target... which is quite incredible.

I wouldn't judge this framework on a few year time horizon, but the time horizon to migrate to 100% EV fleet for Ontario.

The problem with 100% EV fleet a regular grid will be overloaded and customer's will not be incentivized to care.

This framework future proofs the Ontario grid from such a "wall".

Now that the framework exists in Ontario, prices at certain times in the day can grow 10x, 100x, 1000x where appropriate and people will care and will change their behaviors.
The U.S. would never allow the EU to ban American web services to try to foster European innovation like China's doing. They have strong ways to enforce this including by starting a trade war.

But there's no reason for countries like India not to do it. Russia did it; it's not just massive countries that can get away with it.
Newpipe is another good alternative client. Bypasses ads, plays audio in the background, allows downloading videos and even subscribing to channels without an account (the app simply monitors updates on that channel)
Honestly, this isn't for people like you who know that nothing the CIA says can be taken without a massive grain of salt.

It's for the masses who don't question the word of authority.
The Britannica (encyclopedia) website claims they were well treated and returned for ransom.

So its disputed I guess.
And yet Brave has been "Growing 2x for the Fifth Year in a Row". Mozilla should stop whining and focus on building a browser that regular non technical people also want to use. How can I recommend Firefox to a family member when it absolutely chokes on 4k videos on YouTube and makes the laptop sound like a rocket lifting off (macOS, older intel MBP, Chromium based browsers work without a hitch and barely spin fans)?

That's a tautology. You're saying that we shouldn't fix the complexity and bloat that gives rise to bugs because we'd have to fix the complexity and bloat that gives rise to bugs.

We landed on the moon with a reliable computer and reliable software in the 1950s. What software that you've written is "far more complex" than that?

(Personally, I'd posit that a lot of the complexity is the ten or fifty layers of framework and language and library between the programmer and the computer. But I digress...)
Unless it specifies who this just means they'll throw a few billion to Teksystems, CGI or whoever and then say that it was a failure like HealthCare.gov
Hog water!

Heat is hard and it’s hard to get around the energy requirements. Ovens don’t use that much at all at normal home duty cycles.

Improvements in insulation can certainly help.

Show HN: Upstream - Easily create dynamic configs
Hi HN! I built a tool that allows developers to easily create and manage dynamic configurations with a web UI.

At my last team I spent a lot of time managing config files. We had configs to do things like turning on/off training ML models or dynamic feature flags that helped us test new features in real-world settings.

I noticed a few things:
* Often these configs were pointing to the same information and over time they would drift which caused inconsistencies in the system.
* Internal tools had different interfaces to create configs and they would be instrumented differently. For example, some had version control and permissions while others were simple YAMLs.
* There was significant time lost waiting to stamp, land and redeploy low risk config changes.

So I had this idea, what if there was an API to easily create and manage configs with a consistent and well instrumented interface?

So far these are the main features:
* Create JSON formatted configs and access them with an api call.
* Dynamic retrieval. In the request body, users can pass context variables which the tool will evaluate against user defined rules and return a value. For example, give me X config given I am user Y.
* A dashboard to monitor config usage.

Potential use cases:
* Feature flags: On/Off
* Feature flags with context: eg. turn flag on for users in X city.
* General purpose configuration store with access from anywhere.

I'll be happy to receive your feedback!
The paper’s authors indicate that there is one image that is arguably CSAM (in addition to the hundreds of links to what is definitely CSAM): “Bitcoin’s blockchain contains at least eight files with sexual content. While five files only show, describe, or link to mildly pornographic content, we consider the remaining three instances objectionable for almost all jurisdictions: Two of them are backups of link lists to child pornography, containing 274 links to websites, 142 of which refer to Tor hidden services. The remaining instance is an image depicting mild nudity of a young woman. In an online forum this image is claimed to show child pornography, albeit this claim cannot be verified (due to ethical concerns we refrain from providing a citation).”
I think that cuts both ways in that while they do incrementally improve the products, they never would be industry standard if not for Adobe pushing them. Also worth noting that a lot of their portfolio was acquired once it had been threatening their turf and becoming established (Macromedia early on, Figma most recently). Their Suite approach lets them float tools for awhile before determining if they're worthwhile to continue developing or if they need to be axed, or merged into existing products.
If it’s smart enough it should be able to turn off and on itself otherwise it’ll just think the charger turned off.
Lol.. they'll pay contractors from big companies to come in and tell them why they shouldn't use open source.
I call this the gaslighting explanation: “no, it definitely wasn’t the messaging product owned by an advertising behemoth. You must have searched for it somewhere else.” Obviously the OP remembers where they’ve seen the product. If they has seen the product elsewhere, they wouldn’t have started this thread!
I used to solve this by just installing another launcher. there were some good ones around, they should still work I hope.
Thanks for your reply. I think the issue you describe is more due to the website. A website that accepts Passkeys should provide a way to enroll a competitor. In this case it could be as simple as copying a code in one browser and pasting in the other. This isn't too bad if you consider that typing a user+password pair is also annoying though more familiar. Of course, it gets near impossible if the device is dead and the user wants to switch brands without any backup. But again, websites enrolling only one authenticator and no alternative are somewhat negligent.

I think people who evangelize Webauthn need to carefully convey the risks and remind everyone that end users need backups (multiple authenticators, backup codes...). Hopefully, down the road, it will force interoperability between big manufacturers so one authenticator can authorize another for all websites in one go (this probably requires websites to have a standard way to enroll new authenticators).

> My separate observation about a lack of support for hardware keys to be "paired" to support an off-site backup

This is worrying me more. Interoperability between tech giants is bad but the sovereign solution may never get there.
