Still use subset of UML often: class diagrams, state diagrams and sequence diagram. Exactly the things that were used before uml and that uml 1.0 standardized.

Note: I’m using a subset non strict “uml”. Just to discuss software architectures or document designs.

However sometimes simple boxes and arrows are enough but at least uml prevents some ambiguity.

Note that UML 2 and MDE (model driven engineering) indeed failed. However some of the theoretic aspects still hold true today. Such as DSL languages written in a GPL language (react / Kotlin dsls / etc)

And off course SQL is explainable in MDE terms (sql is a dsl for querying)

Cool think is that these days new programming languages that are more functional oriented and cross platform solve the problem UML and MDE wanted to solve. These languages support dsls for example Kotlin.

> The role of UPS is to prevent data loss when power fails. If something is powered by USB-C it almost always already have its own battery preventing from that.

That's a very narrow minded approach to both UPSs and items using USB as their power plug imo.

A UPS isn't just "to prevent data loss when power fails." It's also to keep critical (for home, not DC) things running in the event of power outages. Current uses for USB-C power banks as UPSs I have (or have recommended to friends) that aren't "to prevent data loss".

- Power bank running as a UPS on (a few critical) wireless security cameras (that use USB-C for power).

- Power bank running as a UPS on my cats water fountain (uses USB for power), if the power goes out she still needs to drink water, and I may not be home to put down a standard bowl.

- Friend has a baby monitor and took my idea of using a USB power bank as a battery backup on the camera and monitor so that if his power goes out he can still keep tabs on his child. (no sense waking her up to move her if he doesn't have to)
Is there a challenge similar to one posed by technical documentation ? In that, the current working methods use files and directory hierarchies, but what if we made a code pool (like a content pool, a pool of topics and other types of content entities) that is easily browsed.

The problem is that UML was forced upon a lot of people who basically didn't need it. At some point simply saying "Meh, it is not for me" doesn't cut it, you have to actually fight back to prevent the brain rot that the marketing is causing.

If university students are being taught that UML is a must-use tool, it doesn't really matter whether or not UML has some legitimate use cases, the base teaching is a big fat lie and the students would have been better off spending that time playing Candy Crush.

> What part of a streaming movie is a physical item?

The issue is telling someone this:

Rent ($2.99) Rent HD ($3.99) Buy ($13.99)

So I pick buy, and it sure looks like I own it because the other two choices were presented as rentals. The buy option really is a "long term rental" and should have a very easy to read disclaimer under it that says: "Buy access until 12/31/2029". That way the consumer does not conclude it is a purchase, like a DVD or VHS that I own until it wears out, or forever, whichever comes first.

> If you "buy" a car, and don't get a title, then yeah sure I guess the title holder can take it away. You didn't own it; you never had the title for it.

I bought my car with a loan. I did get a copy of the title, with the lien-holder listed on the back. The car is mine, but I cannot sell it without the lien-holder releasing the lien. Legally, I do own the car. It is very much mine. If I fail to make payments, the lien holder may go to court, and the court can allow them to reposes (note the "re" in reposes) the vehicle.

Presenting something as "buy" when it is really "rent" is unethical at best, and illegal at worst, and it needs to be litigated now.

We knew Russia would take Kyiv in a weekend. Then we knew they would do it within a week. Then we knew that despite their initial setbacks they would achieve their goals in a month. Then we knew that their goal wasn't to topple the Ukrainian government at all, and they would achieve everything else in a few months. Then we knew that they would take full control of the eastern regions in under six months.

Now eight months later they are down to barely holding on to some fringe regions despite mobilizing the entire country, and Ukraine is taking back control of major cities daily. So I question what we all "know".
A noble goal, though I'm skeptical that a gatekeeper of the current financial industry is who we want gatekeeping alternative platforms meant to escape their influence.

and who would that be? Are you suggesting that you ONLY install software signed by developers you have personally verified the keys of? or that you know personally? Because if not, your argument is void because you're trusting completely unknown people who may actively be working to compromise your computer.

The fact that the software was signed doesn't mean anything if you don't actually verify each signature, and even then it only means that what they put up is what you downloaded. It doesn't mean it's not malware. It doesn't mean it doesn't have a back door. It doesn't mean it's not filled with security holes.
For a well-known cartoon figure, the issue isn't copyright, it's trademark. If someone types "Mickey Mouse" and this site has Stable Diffusion design a Mickey Mouse shirt and sell it, they are infringing Disney's trademark: they are selling a Mickey Mouse shirt without Disney's permission. It's the same if they hire an artist to do an original Mickey Mouse design.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I think it's much more likely that trademark issues will bring the hammer down on some of these projects than copyright issues, because I think it will be easier to persuade a judge: they let people type "Calvin and Hobbes" and make and sell a "Calvin and Hobbes" shirt to them, and we don't have a license to do that.

Because the connectors still suck and there's a ton of room for innovation. Imagine if we were stuck with USB-C forever, that would be bad. It's already worse than lightning as a connector for cell phones.

The default shouldn't be to place arbitrary restrictions unless there's a good reason not to. Governments should restrict behavior when the restriction is justified. It should be the EU government's responsibility to demonstrate that banning lightning cables is good, not the other way around.

Hm, yeah, it does say "cloud access". I hope they mean just the hub has access, and the devices don't rely on it.
Thanks for this. It’s fascinating, truly.
I think the idea of using Zink instead of rewriting OpenGL drivers is a good idea. Semantically it makes sense because Vulkan is much more low level. They really shouldn't be compiling to the same depth. Just like how the android runtime/open JDK is written in c and c++. The performance of Zink has been pretty good, although as mentioned it requires more of the vulkan spec to be implemented before using it. Better to use that time imrpoving the vulkan driver.
> e-waste

The irony of, e.g., Brazil, passing laws that Apple can't leave the cable and charger out of the box.

Meanwhile, who with a current phone uses a cable to charge any more? Even before MagSafe the wireless is far more convenient, now with MagSafe and a zillion brands of stands that do phone + watch + AirPods all wireless, not to mention even MagSafe for cars that charge and don't drop the phone on bad roads, cables are redundant. And while they won't all do the same top speed, in general the coasters charge both Android and iPhone happily.

But, speaking of docks, that's the real issue -- lightning works beautifully when docking a phone into a stereo or alarm clock or etc, USB-C not so much. Basically, on lightning if the tab breaks you get a new cheap cable, on USB-C if the tab breaks, you need a new dock.

How is this a “conspiracy”? It is literally what they are doing with the MFI program.

If anything, the e-waste theory is less credible, as Apple have changed the iPad and MacBook charging ports three or four times in the past 12 years. They have also a long history of preventing third parties from fixing their products, latest of which is software locking of replacement parts.

I think cheap batteries, poorly designed starter circuits, and occasional full discharge in use, which all coordinate to damage the batteries early. Also if your power is low quality, it causes the device to switch to battery often, and can put a lot of cycles without actually having a power outage. High quality lead acid batteries in solar systems, car starting, and commercial UPSs often last a decade or longer.

How did lightning ever provide "ongoing savings"? It was simply an update of the 30-pin connector, it wasn't created to improve reusability or applicability to other kinds of devices.

Also, I don't really appreciate the snark. It's just a connector.

> Tying the payouts specifically to the police budget would mean that when the city's residents' policing service expectations failed to be met, one could point to that being a direct consequence of police actions costing them their own policing budget, increasing pressure on the public to do things like elect effective police oversight commissioners who will act to reign in their abuses and provide good value-for-cost policing.

This is a very tall order that I predict would not come true. It is already very easy to see how much police misconduct costs a city’s tax base, but push come to shove, most people will think they are isolated cases and will not happen to them.

> The status quo instead disconnects the oversight from the consequences, leading to the quiet defunding of other services for political reasons

This political reason is that voting in local elections is not common. 100% of the police and their allies will be voting, while most others will be spending their evenings on things other than paying attention to local politics.

There are a few exceptions, but overall, I would not expect voters to react to feeling the pain of reduced police budgets with “let’s dig into why police budgets are getting smaller”. By and large, they will simply vote for the politician that provides the simplest message, which is the incumbents are refusing to properly fund the police department, and if you vote for me, I will properly fund it.

The only solution I see is holding individual cops accountable, including for criminal charges like perjury for lying such as the detective in this case clearly did.

You made a list of spectacularly successful companies than any one of us would have been ecstatic to have founded or been a part of early on (also, we'd be rich). You're augment seems to hinge on the fact that not all companies last forever, which is true, but hardly relevant.
I don't think people should downvote you for disagreement, but I do disagree with your analysis. The US has a system where the Fed lets banks manage the money creation, and they control that by changing the interest rates to change the bank's incentives. In Zimbabwe, the government prints money directly (or at least they did under the Mugabe government, I am not up to date on their current affairs), which means that the central bank interest rate doesn't restrain their money supply growth.

That does have some relevance to the US because the federal government can borrow+spend way more than a small country with a bad credit score - but since the interest rates they borrow at are coupled to the Fed rate, rising rates should in theory slow that down.
I'm trying to figure out if Sourcegraph requires git and it's not clear to me. I saw a page about non-git code hosts but it looks like it still builds a git repository to mirror the actual repository. Is that correct?
no, thread is a rebranding (and evolution) of the zigbee protocol, which is a low-power, local mesh network with no inherent internet connectivity. zigbee/thread devices work offline first, with switches that are an integral part of the local mesh network. these devices can also be connected to the internet through a hub/border router, if you so choose. matter is the umbrella brand name for the combo of BLE, wifi, and thread that provides a complete IoT ecosystem.

i have a bunch of zigbee devices (mostly ikea tradfri) that i'm eager to upgrade in the hopes that i get more reliability and speed out of my connected devices (mostly lighting).

Okay, so this Framework laptop I'm typing on can power from any of its 4 USB-C ports. Ignoring that it already has a battery (you can buy just the motherboard and a non-laptop case), doesn't that work around this neatly?

Plug one USB-C directly to wall, plug second USB-C to powerbank.

For absurdity, repeat until you have a highly available array of 3 powerbanks. You can even put them on timers so you don't need pass-through charging!
It seems you're advocating for a centrally planned economy, but from history we see that it doesn't work. It seems that there is simply too much in an economy for one entity to wholly plan. It can work in a smaller organization like Amazon (and even then, I'm sure teams compete for allocation of resources, it's not all centrally planned) but not at large. We see that people in centrally planned economies revert to underground black markets, signifying that somehow markets are a key to functioning economies.

Donald Trump's claim that he won the 2020 election.
I have made a standard USB-PD powerbank into an ACTUAL UPS by connecting a small board that allows you to manually select the voltage of the output. By selecting 12V you can then wire up any 12V device of reasonable power (say a wireless router) to the USB powerbank. There is no loss converting to and from AC and the power bank internals still handle all the complicated charging and whatnot. All the little IO board does is request a specific voltage (in the same way that any device with PD will negotiate) and keep it there.

I also found a small fanless inverter that I wired to this setup which gave me a tiny and completely silent AC power device. Super small, super portable. Easily powers a few LED bulbs or strings.

> They fired 107 shots

I don't know anything about this incident, and will not comment on such.

I just wanted to point out the number of shots fired here from 7+ individuals is not unusual in the slightest, and is not an argument point that should be used to convince anyone of anything.

Too often uninformed folks throw around the number of shots fired as-if it means incompetence/maleficence/or worse. It rarely if ever does.

EDIT:

Allow me to add an edit here since no one seems capable of understanding the nuance in my original post above.

DO NOT Use round count as an indicator of anything, or as a cornerstone for an argument. You will be trying to imply something that is just flatly wrong, and it will reduce your argument to being an uninformed person.

DO Focus on the facts of the events and ensure outrage is placed where it should be. Round count is not it.

With that said - allow me to further clarify my original disclaimer. Should the events of that day taken place? From my uninformed opinion (having only read the above quote) - no, they should not have.

In summary, don't quote round counts like it means something. It doesn't, and it only serves to make you look uninformed.

Oh, and if you don't keep up with stupid recommendation algorithm updates, which change how things work seemingly on a whim, youtube will decide you don't have a competitive click through rate for your spammy, clickbaity thumbnails, and just stop showing your videos to people so that your viewership and revenue hits the floor.
