Take a look at this Toyota process map: https://creately.com/diagram/example/hoz4qrcl1/toyota-proces...

There are checks everywhere. Pre-checks at the beginning of the supply process, checks that the supplies are valid, checks during manufacturing, checks during assembly, checks post-production. The value chain must continue to flow freely and continuously, and any bottleneck must be found and dealt with immediately, anywhere in the flow.

During the entire lifecycle of producing the car, there are gates for both quality and waste. You can't get quality if you have waste, because waste leads to defects, which you have to fix, which takes more time and money, and exponentially destroys your productivity & product.

Process gates are necessary to eliminate waste and increase quality. You have to immediately fix the things the gates catch, and continuously improve the process of fixing them, until identifying and fixing problems becomes fast and natural.

So process gates are a good thing - IF you actually follow Lean, and are actively working to improve your process. Most people know jack shit about Lean because the company didn't give a shit about training their employees, so their employees suck, and don't improve the process. Toyota, however, does train their employees, and so the employees follow this process, and the result are the most reliable cars at competitive prices.

If you are resolved to just have shitty people and not train them, then sure you can remove process gates. And you will churn out cars faster. But those cars will be shitty, just like American cars from the 50s-90s. You'll need to spend a lot more to fix all the defects, and customers will be unhappy. If that's fine with you, cool! You're pushing out cars! Progress! But let's not pretend process gates are evil just because we don't want to learn to use them properly.
I'd love to know how Gargron (mastadon author) feels about json-ld.

Im just the peanut gallery but json-ld is pretty nice. Give people the right "context" & they can basically ignore that they're working woth json-ld, in a wide range of cases. But get real extensibility & interop with the other semantic web things.

Of course, writing maintaining & using the translators to flop between forms is more work!
That's why the externalities of CO2 management are too great for us to make a meaningful impact with legislation. We share an atmosphere with China, India, and everyone else. Game theory abounds.
He's not worried about anything other than micromanaging.
Did the wildfires burn more than a "natural" amount in total, or just did a bunch of years of burn all at once?
You're describing dumb charging.
the title is not the information here -- a read over the papers show that one year of wildfires in California emitted more greenhouse gases than were saved by concerted means, over about 17 years.

The paper is meant to get attention. Unfortunately, the wildfires situation is quite a bit worse, since 2017, 2019 and 2020 were all record years for wildfire in California, not just 2020.

People who measure such things knew this quite some time ago, and the Elsevier-version of this had an egregious typo in the plain language summary section, suggesting a hasty edit job somewhere. Also notable is that yesterday was the California State Summit on Extreme Heat Events, led by presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom.

Here at YNews, maybe the angle ought to be the quantitative aspects of the measurement. I suggest that California is not the worst of it, worldwide, and that the science and data handling in California can serve as a lab of sorts, for less-able places around the globe facing new wildfires going into the future.
Yes, everyone knows this.

China built the second largest economy, the second largest military, and 3x as much greenhouse gas on the back of US consumer spending.

But hey, people on HN don’t like it when you point out stuff like this.

I think people are hoping for plausible deniability.

With half a century of warning, how did we end up in this climate mess?

I do not see how it can be popular with Republican voters.

This will be interesting to see if they can crack LA - drunk and overly aggressive drivers, crack addicts running around the streets, and vandalism.

You can already see this "tragedy of the commons" type of behavior with the unusable public transport system (it's a nightmare to use the trains between Koreatown and DTLA, especially for women) and in the private sector with Lime and Bird scooters.

Very exciting if it works out, but I don't have high hopes.
>uBlock Origin users have come to rely on such as "cosmetic filtering" (blocking page elements, not just URLs).

Manifest v3 doesn't prevent that. uBlock Origin Lite choose to not require broad permission for every single site, but instead it choose to have the user grant it permission on a site by site basis.
My experience so far with every wifi ONVIF camera I have purchased (at least half a dozen different brands) has been absolutely terrible. Not sure if it's all related to the hardware or just FOSS software support somehow.

They seem to all use the same generic/white label Chinese firmware with barely anything changed about it. Their advertisements of "up to X viewers" really only ever means max of 1 or maybe 2 if you want a decent/max resolution or framerate.

The devices and their video streams are often quite unstable (needing a daily reboot or restart of the stream), jittery and not smooth.

The cost of the device does not seem to make a difference either, whether it's a $50 device or $300+.

Anyone have recommendations or tips on either better brands or maybe some idea of what I might possibly be doing wrong?
I believe that any language that treats errors and error management as an afterthought are bad. Also any programmer that treats errors as an afterthought or simply ignore them is going to write bad code/programs. Errors are hard and need language first level support. People talks about “higher order functions” but never how to deal with errors (mainly because it’s boring and complicated). Also errors are tightly coupled with intentions, as if you fail to do something, well that’s an error. But that also means that it’s tightly coupled with what the program is trying to achieve. So anywhere an error happens should be close to what it tries to do. Also it solves what an error is all about, which makes it easy to describe what it should be. Yes there are errors that may not fall into this category as they are much less related to what you are trying to do functionally. Any program which ignores how errors work and flow, in my experience, has always been bad in general, as the structure of it is also bad as there’s no organization.
Yup, let the tech overlords plan your life for you for the greater good. Fuck that fishing trip - your energy company decided you’re not important enough to have a charged car.
There's a much easier long-term solution to this problem: electric heating, powered by electricity from Hydro-Québec. Unfortunately, the LNG industry has lobbied hard to block transmission lines, but it would make a huge difference should the lines eventually be built.
yes, but take a breath because you'll figure it out. New parents and parents-to-be are probably the most taken advantage of people on the face of the earth. You'll get it figured out, don't let the horror stories on the inet keep you up at night and, no, using a generic brand of diapers won't turn your baby into a serial killer like the ads want you to believe.

Might depend on the kid. I had almost that much freedom, including unchecked access to firearms, and I absolutely fucking loved it and felt the freedom helped set me up for success as an adult. Other kids would be inside playing with mom and dad and I'd be "lets make a map of the whole fucking county by exploring everything." I feel like the future of my kid is mostly limited by ever more dystopian standards of CPS rather than the kind of freedom I'd like them to have.
This is an excellent point to bring up, and something that cannot (or rather, should not) be ignored.

Still, the approach presumably should be more, not less, support for women who want (need?) to try this?
"California's emissions" is a vanity metric of in-state emissions, not emissions elsewhere performed in service of Californians' consumption, right?
This assumes you can have your car plugged in during the day.

It people drive to work and cannot plug in their car, then most of the time it will only be plugged in at night.
There's also the culture shift of even if it is convenient to do after work fun near the office, you can choose your friends, but you can't quite directly choose your coworkers. Not that it is wrong to have friends who are coworkers, but that you don't need your entire social life "defined" by your job.

Socialization and social life are important to people, but "we need to return to offices for our social lives" rings hollow as a message precisely because some people here that as either the message "you must have a social life with your coworkers [for the good of the company]" or the desperate "I don't have a social life outside of work [please send help!]".
Can we derive logic without an observer that is embodied, that experience pain and pleasure?

Every experiment we do are motivated by a desired for knowledge (information to avoid pain)

Without that biological framework there is no experiment, the external observer is an illusion.

To me justice is another emergent concept of the human games, a concept that allow to maximise fitness at a larger scale. We keep track of the freeloaders and punish them so we get to a higher total fitness if we force everyone to contribute more or less equally.
Yeah. Adding complexity to a system is always the best solution.
If you find a problem at a process gate (quality gate), then you need to fix the process, as well as the product (Architecture plan/Code in PR/etc). Why did the gate catch a problem? Was it lack of knowledge, failure to follow standards etc?

Management has learned too much and not enough from Lean Manufacturing. I worked in a manufacturing plant. I know why some of these rules exist. We aren't using them correctly in software development.

Quality is about improving process, not just inspection. Inspection is required, but it is treated as an input to process improvement. Are your PRs an input to process improvement, or an excuse to yell at junior devs?

Management techniques in Lean Manufacturing are all about producing consistency and efficiency in human effort. Software Development is not really like this. When you understand an IT process well enough, you automate it, and the software product that performs such automation should be very consistent and efficient.

We want that effort to create automation products to be more efficient and consistent. But that effort is not at all like manufacturing. It is not repeatable. If it was repeatable, someone would have written a tool for it already. And thus, if we are doing our jobs, we only have hard problems.

Managing software developers is more like managing other managers than it is like managing workers on an assembly line.

If you are an executive who oversees managers who are making changes to processes, you need to provide contingent guidance and goals, not dictates. Software developers are making changes to processes.

It's quite odd that these "civilized societies" then have to rely on importing the best and brightest young people from "uncivilized" societies to keep their "civilized society" from suffering a demographic collapse.

Almost makes one think that they're not quite civilized, they just put economics above all and rely on exploiting other nations to prop the whole thing up.
That's one way to get 'em back in the office! :)
Did the Spanish rule the sea in the 1400s? They didn't have full control of the peninsula until 1492.

The US frigates had a good record against British frigates in the War of 1812, but they couldn't have fought a major engagement with the Royal Navy. The privateers were tremendously effective then.
Ask HN: Any recommendations for reliable EMG armband device?
Thalmic Labs, created Myo [1], the IP of which were sold to CTRL Labs later acquired by Meta. [2] Since then it seems there aren’t any reputable startups creating similar products. I found the OYMotion gForcePro+ [3], but I am not sure about the quality/reliability of the product.

I am wondering if there are any similar consumer-grade EMG armband with a dev SDK to access the raw EMG readings that you are recommending. The reason for accessing the raw EMG signals is to be able to develop my own classifiers.

Process gates do slow down progress. But (a wisely chosen and designed) process gate can also prevent issues later that do even more damage than the slow progress does.

> there is no way to run a business that's community oriented. Which means that the only actual community available is your work community.

Actual community does not requires a business. Building relationships does not require business either.

I did not said it is degenerate. But it is dishonest when what I described is framed as somehow being more performing, because of spending more time in workplace slowing down effectivity of it. Also, It is possible to create relationships in workplace and then keep those as you move to other workplaces - assuming people are willing to socialize outside of workplace. It is possible for communities to form around blocks, parks or hobbies.
Starlink unveils airplane service–Musk says it’s like using Internet at home
Don't tell people to not want the most basic amount of security implemented within the protocol. The rest of the Linux kernel networking stack logs more verbosely than WireGuard, and it supports packet filtering. If you had someone compromise your WireGuard mesh, you'd never know.

These are oversights, and it's OK for software to have them, but they need to get added in the future. Requiring users to layer this stuff on top of WireGuard creates security footguns. WireGuard's implementation isn't set in stone, it should be improved.
Hopefully the ability to charge at work becomes more popular.
Core services are fine. All the problems are on things they built on their core infrastructure proposition.
You assume that God is bound to the system of causality in which you exist?
What the article is missing is how they learned the new error messages are now more helpful to the end user. Some kind of metrics: maybe, the number of support tickets/angry reviews decreased? Otherwise without clear criteria for success I'm not sure if it was worth it and wasn't just changing the error messages for the sake of changing. Sure what they talk about makes sense but "it makes sense" is not a business metric.
A lazy/bad developer ruining something so many people depend on is incredibly annoying.

It really depends on your usecase, but some benefits:

* Lower cost (just pay for payment processing, not the subscription features)
* Ability to integrate with multiple gateways (to lower cost, support more payment instruments, higher resiliency, etc.)
* More advanced subscription features
* Ability to customize the system through custom code (plugins)
* Data ownership (easier to run analytics reports, since you own the subscription data)
Harbor is ok. We're using it as image storage for about 10 dev teams.

It is not BS. Financial independence is real freedom. See any and all societies where women do not have financial freedom. People may not keep score, but the women will act differently based on the fact that at the end of the day, they are dependents. And men will act differently, because they know they are independent.

So given the fact that financially independent women do not have kids at similar rates as financially dependent women, perhaps it is an important part of a relationship.
Interview with FFmpeg enthusiast in 2022 [humor]
So, the solution to "the solution" is to allow the government to control more of the market? Who will enforce this? What will the penalties be?

Or, do we just raise power prices for everyone and then give them a break if they allow a third party device to restrict their power usage? Seems like a great way to subsidize "the solution" on the backs of people who can't afford a new EV of their own.

Also.. when are there times of "excess power?" The grid operator tracks demand and then orders power from stations, or it doesn't. There is "excess capacity" but that's set against not running the plant at all, so I'm not sure there's some "free lunch" to be had here.
Your logic implies that the efforts we made so far are useless, and we should be doing something else.

Words change meaning all the time. For example, to "dime" someone these days means call them on the phone.
It is my opinion that software problems tend be analyzed corresponding to these four axes:

- Can an end-user solve the problem themselves? If so, tell them how, if not, display a generic error message telling them to ask for support (with an error identifier they can tell the support)

- Developers and end-users need different information: developers need as much information as possible, like file names, contents of important variables and especially where the error happened in the source code with a backtrace, sometimes even two backtraces: the backtrace for the cause of the error, too; and end-users only need to be told what they can do, but this needs to be worded clearly and carefully. This means that error messages need to be written twice.

- Is the problem serious? If so, report, crash and restart, if not, just report and abort the affected operation when neccessary.

- The problem should be logged. Sometimes it can be sent to developers automatically.
It turns out translating error messages is controversial.

Users, upon hitting an error, often go check Stack Overflow. If you localize your error messages, you Balkanize the collective wisdom on how to address the error (which will always be larger than your team's ability to troubleshoot errors and offer correctives in your documentation and FAQs).
Which is probably why they said “parenting” and not “impregnating”
> Yes, in the US there are tax credits, SNAP, etc. None of these even come close to replacing the life income changes.

Our three kids are gonna cost us at least half a million dollars by the time they're all 18, between lost income, daycare costs, higher housing costs (not just a bigger house to maintain a similar comfort level, but also one in a much more expensive area than we might otherwise live in, since we have to care about school quality—an uncomfortably small house in a good school district still costs more than a huge house in a merely so-so district, let alone an actually-bad district, in our city), healthcare costs, transportation costs, plus all the smaller stuff like clothes, food, et c. And e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g optional is also far more expensive, like vacations.

And that's if we don't chip in for their post-secondary education or, like, give them a few grand to get their feet under them when they leave. Or buy them cars or any of that (we're not there yet, thank god). It could easily end up being closer to a million than a half-million, without even going nuts.

The tax credits don't even come close to covering it. Worse, because many of those expenses are front-loaded and so hit in our relatively-young years, the opportunity cost of that money ends up being enormous. The shadow cast on our future savings is way bigger than what we spend on them directly. We'd be retiring by 50, 55 at the latest if not for having kids, and also be able to spend more freely. As it is IDK if we're gonna be able to retire until we just can't work anymore.

Kids are basically financial suicide unless you're crazy-rich. Like they're great and all but god damn do I understand why people choose not to have them, even if they like the idea of having kids.

Most of them understand it just fine. They just don't care as long as it benefits them in the short term. Sure, you could talk about the long term unsustainability, but they quite reasonably figure that they'll be better positioned over the long term by virtue of having a lot more money.
