Pressure at the pump is not that relevant. What is relevant is the pressure at the point where pressurized water meets the coffee puck. And this pressure very much depends on multiple factors but let's say that the coffee ground level is one of the most important things. If you have a pump pumping water at 15 bars but you have a very coarse ground coffee in your basket, resulting pressure is _not_ going to be 15 bars. Similarly, if you grind the coffee at very fine levels then the resistance of the coffee puck will increase and therefore resulting pressure might very well end up being _more_ than 15 bars.

That said, another thing which plays a big role in the resulting pressure is the design of the brewing head and the design of your basket. Baskets can be either pressurized (they have a single hole through which the coffee will flow) or non-pressurized (they have a lot of small holes through all of which coffee will flow). You can imagine that the resulting pressure will depend on the type of the basket you're using.

Because cheaper appliances will by default use pressurized baskets, they will tweak the pump to some pressure level which they found to work the "best" for their type of machine and that level is exclusively much more than expected 9-10 bars. Nespresso will for the same reasons do the same with the difference that they make one step forward to take over the full control over the puck preparation process through their prepackaged pods.
I disagree and I've brewed many espressos many ways and I love a good espresso.

I found this article interesting because they talk about the complexity of espresso as being characteristic of a mix of extractions at different pressures. This is apparently different than the model they came up with to brew the perfect espresso. But they also note that 9-11 bars is too high and go as low as 7. Fascinating.
Ask HN: How do people use Microsoft services in 2022?
So classic "Cannot talk to a human" rant, but made me wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I mainly use AWS which is far from perfect, but usually I can get it to do what I want. I've spent a very frustrating 2 days trying to get Microsoft to work and can't.

Context: trying to do something super basic with the Microsoft Graph API -- retrieve calendar events for a specific user via a custom app.

I thought I could sign up, get an API key, and make a call.

There's a nice guide here[0] that shows how to do this.

But microsoft has a _lot_ of moving parts. I have an Azure account with an active subscription, so I go through the steps and everything seems to work, but I get 401 unauthorized errors when actually trying to retrieve the events. I spend a few hours messing around with different user/admin-level permissions but nothing helps.

Eventually I notice that the first step of the tutorial specifies that a pre-requisite is global admin access to a tenant. I thought I had that through Azure, but maybe I don't? The link directs to Microsoft 365 Developer program, which asks me to create a sandbox account. It then rejects all my phone numbers. [1]

I try to go to the support page, which needs me to sign in. I get a server error when trying to sign in [1].

I eventually contact Azure support, who say they have no view of Microsoft 365 and can't help at all (though it takes 2 hours of filling in a form and going through L1 support script on live chat to get to this point).

So

a) can anyone sign up for 365 developers [2] or is it b0rked for everyone?

b) can anyone sign into services hub [3] or is it b0rked for everyone?

c) it is normal that I need to deal with so many accounts and organizations to do something so simple?

To wit: I need an Azure account with active subscription, I need an Active Directory account to create the app, I need a 365 Developer account to get a sandbox, and I need a Support Account to get help. And internally, none of these orgs can talk to each other to figure out why I can't programmatically read events from Outlook.

How does anyone actually working with this stuff professionally ever get anything done?

Wall of text with many ads in between and no tldr. This is like clickbait for nerds.
I would love to see more development in this space. I'm aware of tools like bazel, nix, and jib (I feel like I've seen an equivalent to jib for Go) that can build Docker images "outside" Docker/BuildKit. I believe the .NET SDK can do something similar for .NET applications. And then there's tools like buildpacks, nixpacks, devbox, etc that still use Docker to produce the image, but don't require thinking in Dockerfiles.

I have some ideas I want to explore with Depot, but it really it feels like it should be possible to make cross-compiling and dependency encapsulation easy to use, so "building a container image" is reduced to creating a tarball in the correct OCI format, and you don't have to interact with Dockerfiles as much if you'd prefer not.
Interesting perspective, thank you.

But at least US researchers cannot claim to be in an disadvantaged position compared to other countries?

Well you want to check your session cookies as well against something ;-)

Surely you could trust a signature and lifetime but that makes the cookie no different than a JWT (only storage wise the differ in that case).

Generally speaking it is recommended to use opaque tokens and rely on the userinfo / introspect endpoint call to make for the session management.

Only in specific cases where latency and/or scaling might become an issue you should opt for JWT. At least this is my opinion.
You make some great points and I want to echo that Clojure is the only language where, when I am evaluating a library or even when I’m using one and want a bit more information, I look at the code.

I’m quite comfortable in a number of languages, especially Python, Java, C++ and Javascript, yet I rarely look at the source code of libraries I use in those languages. With Clojure, it’s something I feel comfortable doing for some reason, so I do it. That does mean that I care more about how easily I feel I can read or modify the code than about when the last commit was (but I definitely do care about how quickly the author responds to comments/issues/PR’s — they don’t have to actually implement or fix anything asked for, just be responsive and offer some pointers, so I know if I ever get stuck, someone will point me in the right direction should I need it, even if I have to do the work myself).

With that said, I’m not currently working in a Clojure job.

You've answered your own question: you're a happy, long-term customer of a free service.

A better question might be "What would it take for you to move from gmail to a paid service and how much are you willing to pay, or, how would you envision a free, sustainable email service?"

Instantly my mind wants to "javaify" it again, that is, generalizing it to some general case by involving qualified names:

Instead of stubbornly implementing Runnable from those flat files, mix in the well-established concept of single-function-interfaces (Runnable is just one of many) and introduce a top-level "extends" that makes the file body an SFI implementation:

extends java.lang.Runnable;
java.lang.System.out.println("Hello world");

(and it only gets better if you also add the rule "in absence of any imports statements, an implicit import java.lang.*; is added)

That's the consumer variants; the Threadrippers will almost certainly not be at a lower rated TDP than current gen's 280W. If they increased it by same percentage as they did for consumer, it'd be 450W, but that's unlikely; 350W might be in the cards, though.
> - Do you think it's too soon during the early days?

No, but you can just take one off the shelf and adjust colors / fonts.

You'll need experienced designer that knows how to gradually build it. Otherwise I can't see a way without.

- Do frontend engineers complain about not having one?

No, because we have one, but they complain when components could be used but something slightly different was designed.

A friend runs a consultancy and we recently spoke about it. They build e-commerce type of websites, they start with a simple mockup, once they are ready they build style guide/components. All other pages are just assembled from these components - don't think this works for completely bespoke software, but it demonstrates that in some cases it's integral to the rest of the process.
Not necessarily. Turn off NAT on your router. ISP router then needs a static route sending traffic for your LAN via your router's WAN IP.
What’s really happening:
Liz announced to remove the 45% tax bracket for people who earn more than 150K£ a year.
This means that roughly 50 billion £ will be missing from the government.
That money will have to be printed, decreasing the value of the pound.
More pounds -> Less value.
It will never go away, before it was COBOL, xBase, C, C++, Smalltalk.

Tomorrow might be Go, Rust, Zig, or whatever they fancy using.

These are projects at scale of dozens of developers with various skill sets distributed around the world, optimizing for Hello World hardly matters.
That depends entirely on your own personal usage patterns. Why don't you just turn off your router for a day and observe which are the resources you access most often?
Honestly? The last time I had to use Azure, I ended up ranting on Twitter until one of their product managers conceded their documentation was wrong.

For classical compression benchmarking, you need to include the size of the decoder; GPT can already recite most lyrics and speeches given a single line prompt.

The state of the art in neural language models was evaluated ˜5 years ago, and it was found that standard LSTM's do very well on text compression, when properly architectured and parametrized.

The main reason for excluding lossy text compression in these tests, is that there is no clear path around requiring a panel of human judges, and that evaluation now is subjective (instead of objective).

Perhaps a different route would be to task an AI to compress Wikipedia into a (graph) knowledge base, and then test these AIs on correctly answering "multiple choice"-questions. But then intelligence becomes a proxy for measuring compression, instead of here, where compression is chosen as a proxy for measuring intelligence.
I can assure you they were using OOP in C++, creating their own standard library, leaving behind the ways of C, as any proper C++ course during the ARM C++ days.

The lecture notes that eventually became this book were their path into discovering C++.

You can't really mock static methods though, so it makes testing harder.
The premise is mostly the same as a lot of game shows. You don't see rich people showing up to get on game shows. From glimpses I've seen of Japanese game shows, Mr Beast's takes a lot from them with the ridiculousness and over the top entertainment factor, the money involved is much more.

Another counterpoint is that they do good as well - 30+ million pounds of trash cleaned out the ocean with TeamSeas. Go see the one where they take over a bank in his hometown, no game show antics just handing out money in an entertaining way.

I watch most of Mr Beasts videos (primarily because "the algorithm" throws them at my face until I give in), but his recent interview with Graham Stephen[1] shows another side of him.

You don't really need to jailbreak your LG tv to install custom apps(like adfree Youtube), you can just put it in developer mode and have a cron somewhere(I use Pipedream) that keeps activating developer mode every 24h or so(it deactivate itself every 48h)

Ancient greeks did have steam powered toys. It has been discussed elsewhere, that you need a need for revolution to get the progress made on the labour force and market that emerged in the UK to get a first "industrial revolution" started.

Egyptians did have batteries, BTW.

Another angle, with the TL;DR of "There was no such thing a industrial revolution, ever":

Also, if you look at the numeric history of the combined agricultural/industrial throughput of mankind, there was no such thing as a time period for a single industrial revolution. The logarithmic scale of aforementioned output show no peaks, but rather that we made so far made the same speeding up slope in growth every year for all the history we can guess an estimate for.
My biggest problem with JWT is that it's way overhyped, leading less experienced devs to believe JWT is the only way to implement auth, unless you use a 3rd party provider.

Too vague a generalisation to have any value. What matters is who does the work and the social value of that work.

> It's hard to believe that fish that looks, smells, and tastes fine may not be safe to eat. But the truth is that fish in Maine lakes, ponds, and rivers have mercury in them. Other states have this problem too. Mercury in the air settles into the waters. It then builds up in fish. For this reason, older fish have higher levels of mercury than younger fish. Fish (like pickerel and bass) that eat other fish have the highest mercury levels.

> Claiming this is a good move is the same as claiming selling the iPhone or Android to Nokia for short term profit would have been a good business move.

There is no objective “good” or “bad” move. If the owner feels like selling and that helps them meet their goals in life, then that is “good” for them. If iPhone or Android owners want to bet they can usurp Nokia and want to take on more risk, then that is “good” for them.
> What is your estimate of the probability that human intelligence is actually anywhere near the upper limit, rather than some point way further down the S-curve where seemingly exponential growth can still go for a long time?

Well, define "intelligence". People seem to use it in a vague way here - it might be what you call a motte and bailey. The motte (specific definition) is something like "can do math problems really fast" and the bailey is like "high executive function, is always right about everything, can predict the future".

For the first one I don't think humans are near a limit, mostly because of the bottleneck in how we get born limiting our head sizes. But it is pretty good if you consider the costs of being alive - food requirements, heat dissipation, being bipedal, surviving being hit on the head, risk of brain cancer, etc, it's done well so far.

Similarly an AI is going to have maintenance costs - the more RTX 3090s it runs on, the more calculations it might be able to do, but it's going to have to pay for them and their power bill, and they'll fail or give wrong answers eventually. And where's it getting the money anyway?

As for the second kind I don't think you can be exponentially better at it than a human. At least if you are, it's not through intelligence, but it might be through access to more private information, or being rich enough to survive mistakes. As an example, you can't beat the stock market reliably with smarts, but you can by never being forced to sell.

The real mystery to me is why people say "AI could recursively improve their own hardware and software in short time spans". I mean, that's clearly a made up concept since none of humans, computers or existing AI do it. But the closest thing I can think of is collective intelligence - humans individually haven't improved in the last 10k years, but we got a lot more humans and conquered everyone else that way. But we're also all individuals competing with each other and paying for our own individual food/maintenance/etc, which makes it different from nodes in an ever-growing AI.
For those that don’t know Fireworks was essentially Sketch 10 years earlier. Adobe had a tool with vector based bitmap graphics creation and non destructive styling. That could how multiple pages, states and a basic form of component all in 1 file with one click export to flats.

Makes this all a cruel joke for those of us who used it daily then moved to Sketch then moved to Figma.

As somewhat of an aside from the debate on giving back artifacts, I have a fun fact:

The Coptic Christians of Egypt and the Muslims of Egypt are largely the same ethnic/genetic group. Modern day Muslim Egyptians are descendants of Coptic Egyptians who converted to Islam at some point after the Arabs conquered Egypt.

One of the (many) interesting things about Egypt is that despite being conquered by several foreign empires, their genetic/ethnic makeup has stayed largely consistent, with only minor intermixing from those foreign groups.
