A few things you might not be considering:

The creeping barrage would hide the advancing soldiers behind dust clouds. The closer to the troops the better (harder to get sight lines on them unless you were literally on top of them).

Enemy positions were not always fully known and mapped out, so firing "just" at the opposing trench would be hard to plan. There could be advance defensive positions placed further forward as well.

There were multiple layers of trenches which an advance could be expected to push through.

The shape and pace of the creeping barrage was thought to help coordinate the pace of the advance.

There were drawbacks, as of course many shells would hit empty land and so be wasteful of artillery, and creeping barrages did fall out of favour. Although not simply for this reason: later developments made it easier for infantry to call artillery down on specific positions as needed, and also new infiltrations tactics made coordinating with creeping barrages impossible.
How best to enforce usage of this and stop apps/phones from bypassing and using DoH?

Edit: I found this post on pi hole forums explaining the situation with DoH / DoT. I think this will become a much popular topic to discuss on HN soon as both technologies are increasily popular.

IMHO, a better explanation for England and the Low Countries developing more rapidly than Spain and Portugal (which also had access to the Atlantic) is their climate, which is very wet. This gave them a highly productive agricultural sector that was not dependent on often-disrupted irrigation networks.
I know of a third GC implementation, by Rainer. Which is concurrent on Windows via snapshotting (but not in druntime).

I'm curious to know if it's possible to block those domains which collect my "data". As in, these days it is becoming more and more common i speak something and I see ads a couple of hours. I turned off all microphones but apparently that doesn't help.

It'd be good to block these data collection requests.
> You can lock the glovebox with a pin

That doesn't mean you can't put a touch button on the actual glovebox.

Use the UI (with a pin) to lock the glovebox so that it doesn't open when the glovebox button is touched, use the UI (with the same pin) to reverse that at a later stage.

Putting the button anywhere but on the glovebox makes non-fanboys seriously question the suitability of the car as a convenience.
> There's literally three browser vendors, and of those, really only one of them needs to go "fuck it, sqlite now has an API" and the other two kind of don't have a lot of choice but to follow suit. It's a Chrome world right now.

In the general case, admittedly true. Note, however, that the Chrome folks have no say-so in the shape of this particular sqlite API, with the tiny exception that they are not willing to create a 100% synchronous API for OPFS, which complicates the sqlite-side development of that one small part of the API considerably[^1]. The shape/flavor/whatever we'd like to call it of the sqlite JS/WASM APIs is left 100% to the project members' discretion. If Chrome dies tomorrow, this API is still a thing, it will just have severely reduced client-side persistence options until the next hypothetical vendor creates one, at which point we'd latch onto that one.

[1] = When we consider that async APIs exist largely to account for network latency, and OPFS _has no latency_ beyond the local storage device, OPFS's interface being async is, IMHO, a design flaw stemming from the misled assumption of "it's on the web ergo it must be async" (and i've told them that in emails and meetings). Based on our testing metrics, the performance of the OPFS sqlite layer would increased by at least 30% if it had a 100% synchronous API to work with, as it tends to waste anywhere from the low-30s to mid-40s percentage points of its time waiting at cross-thread communication boundaries.
Feels a bit unethical to default to the archive links vs paying for content, the news are generally good from those sources too.
Countries like Australia/China 240v is the standard. You need step-down transformers for 110v devices. China has both voltages/plugs running in its cities - not sure how they manage that.
I recommend, even if people write crazy/terrible stuff, the space is important, part of the full spectrum.
Yes, because it's not really public vs. private that matters, in both cases it's whether the shareholders care. (If it's public they complain to the SEC, if it's private they complain to their contract lawyers who hopefully included some accountability in the contracts.)

This is also why Musk can get away with it - he's got fanboys, albeit of slightly different types, dominating the shareholders in both cases. (In the case of Twitter he may even be personally the majority shareholder with no obligations beyond cash now, but who knows...)
Yeah but you miss the point.
You think it’s about getting to the destination. That is what a map is for.

The journey is the destination. And if you are being led and shown you don’t develop your own compass.

Take tips, listen and gather some info BUT the only thing you need is to listen to ‘you’ and the other ‘you’ and decide how it works.

In my opinion of course.

I'm with you. NFC is awesome. I use NFC around the house for basic automation (Hue etc) -- and it definitely should be more common.

Full JXL is not hardware-friendly enough to be used as-is in a video codec. A trimmed down subset of JXL could work, but I doubt they would accept it in AV2.

Video-derived image formats like WebP, HEIC and AVIF all have issues in the high quality range — they are simply not designed for that, and either cannot reach the very high qualities, or they can do it but not with good compression. Also they don't support fast lossless modes and the precision (bit depth) needed in authoring workflows, so they are delivery formats only, not across-the-workflow formats. Features like progressive decode, region of interest decode, CMYK/spot colors, other additional channels (even just alpha), etc are just not relevant for video codecs, and while some of those shortcomings can be resolved at the file format level (e.g. by implementing extra channels as additional grayscale codestreams, or 'progressive' as a separately coded embedded preview image), it will come at a cost compared to what is possible if the codestream is designed for these features in the first place.

So I think they should stop making these video-derived image formats, and browsers should just accept video formats in img tags (or anywhere where they would currently accept GIF) so if you want you can just use a single-frame video.

I think the motivation for JXL is not just improving the state of image delivery on the web, but also image interchange in general. Currently the only interchange format that can do layers is TIFF. The only interchange formats that can do CMYK are JPEG and TIFF. There is currently no standardized interchange format for images with spot colors (only PSD can do that atm). The only widely supported format that can do lossless 16-bit with some compression is PNG (and J2K, I guess, depending on your definition of "widely supported"). For camera-quality HDR images (with enough precision for further editing), there are currently only the raw formats and OpenEXR. I think these all correspond to important use cases, and it is unlikely that any image format derived from a video codec will support these use cased in a satisfactory way.

JPEG XL is the first image format that has the potential to cover the whole workflow from capture and authoring to delivery. I think that's where its real value lies.
Apologies, I should have made my comment clear instead of trying to be witty - what I meant was that Koalas are marsupials, not mammals.

That said, I agree with what you are saying. We tend to assume a bigger than likely distance between us and other animals.

This is easily solved by requesting customers to pay at the bar. I don't know why many restaurants still have waiters running back and forth with a payment device or the card.

Individual trenches are 5-10 ft wide. The artillery barrage creeping was measured in planned "advances" of 50-100ft.

Also there were always multiple layers of trenches.
Try Peter Russell.
A much more modern and sage man in my opinion.
To emphasise this point: in almost all other animals, a profound level of motor specialisation is present at-birth. Most animals, are eg., born walking.

Whereas in humans, we are born needing to specialise almost everything during our lifetime -- which has incredibly high costs (ie., many years of being fed without being able to hunt) -- but high rewards: we learn how to conceptualise the world in novel ways, create tools, etc. both largely a product of our ability to specialise our sensory-motor system in response to the actual environment we're in.

There is no reason to suppose that we are analogous to fish in our personalities, but not in everything else -- indeed, there's obvious reasons to suppose the opposite.

Or simply Elon is more unstable than Dogecoin and wanted to show new employees who is the boss, it was a really pathetic power move.
I’m rather surprised we’re not past the point of no return with our ability to curb Chinese development on most of these things. If they’ve been stealing state secrets and high end technical information for years, and are able to copy technical components regularly, while also possessing a large technically proficient infrastructure, can’t they develop most of this stuff within their own country and become even more self sufficient? I would think these type of bans would have been much more effective 10 or 15 years ago?

I doubt that there's any credible claim to the acquisition of a license from an acquired company being a loophole. If it was, it wasn't something ARM paid attention to for 20+ years. ARM didn't have a problem with Compaq/DEC transferring its StrongARM IP to Intel. Nor did ARM have a problem with Intel selling off part of the XScale line to Marvell. Even if Nuvia merely sold its architectural license in place of being acquired outright, Qualcomm would still have a strong case to claim that it does have architectural rights.
In this case, isn’t Elon the only shareholder?
That's how my cruise controll works. It don't really work downhill;-)
May we all know what this startup's product is? If your co-founder really believes in the product then do something that one of the co-founders of RethinkDB did, keep working on the product as a side-project. Nothing stops you both from working on it as a side-project, even open sourcing it could give it a new life and open up new opportunities.
I see, it’s not too stupid. Probably more expensive.
Well, if you have basic understanding of English you will.

I see the purpose of code versioning in being able to save the code fast, being able to reverse code changes fast and doing code merged with ease.

If some philosophy stays against someone's productivity I don't believe it is a good thing. I would let developers commit in every state they find easy, provided the code builds and the commit comment describes what is being committed.

I think it is the PR which we can push more demands on but not commits.

I, for example, dislike having to track any small change I have made and commit it. I like committing larger parts which contain a functionality.
I’ve seen this work really well in a successful globally-distributed business with a few thousand employees, the majority being devs. The outcomes of building rapport between people who work intensely with each other a few weeks a year is hard to beat, except maybe by the impact of getting whole of business alignment including bigger and bigger groups inside the magic circle.

A couple of times a year, commercial, product and tech folks would run sort of iterative challenge/ opportunity/ response/ scoping exercises within their product area, then run a couple cross-area starting with most adjacent and ending at whole business. There’d be a roadshow cycle in major locations and online for all staff.

A big investment of time, but a lot of the priority and coordination issues, as well as unexploded bombs would come out of the woodwork.

For me it was interesting to see how this kind of regular big investment in time meant that the whole org ran very lean and very client- and market-responsive.

How many heard of Mel's Hack through the Jargon File? Worth a read for the computing and UNIX history (no comments about the author though).

http://www.catb.org/jargon/
Yeah, sending 48V would be more appropriate, but unfortunately that's not really backwards-compatible (well, the way to do that is typically to allow the PSU to be farther from the use-site, like having a datacenter with tall adult high cabinets (racks; they have 4 posts for holding the equipment, which is standardized as occupying one-or-more slots of 1¾ inch height and free to occupy the entire length) and putting 4 AC/DC converter blocks into each such cabinet, to power a few layers of servers/equipment both above and below the PSU layer.

They do this so that the PSU can be made up of multiple redundant modules, and to integrate some batteries that can cover a generator starting up. This way they don't need to pay for a dedicated UPS battery with chargers and inverters just to convert it back to lower-voltage DC near the server.

They can make it so that for example 5-8 PSUs spread over different electrical circuits can share the load of the servers, even if 2-3 of them fail
(so they, for example, only need 2 extra on top of the 5 that can power the servers and the 1 that recharges the battery (62.5% load if everything works and the servers are running full-power), or even relying on the servers occasionally running below full power to spread the full rated server power over 6 modules with 2 spares (75% load if everything works and the servers are running full-power)).

A big issue in this situation here is though that Nvidia skimps heavily on board space for the 4090 Founders Edition cards, seemingly to use the back for heat sink fins/air-flow cross-section.
It would take up some board area, but in theory, they could add a 48V power option that makes it all sleek and pretty, possibly with a 12V->48V adapter for the people who don't already have a 48V supply.
Also when practising throwing stuff, practising at varying distances yields better results than practising only at the single distance that is used to compare performance.

> as commit granularity is lost when they are squashed, rebased, or merged committed.

No, commit granularity is only lost when squashing. Both rebasing and merging retains all the commits.

> why not split it into multiple pull requests?

It's arguable better to have a single PR with multiple commits instead of multiple related PRs. I can review commits one by one and also see the end result, test it all together both manually and on CI/CD.
I was so looking forward to the Rivian suv ever since the truck came out, and then saw the first video of it where it requires navigating menues to AIM THE AIR VENTS.

> OK but being able to just pay and not waste a waiters time is basically only upside?

Yeah, that’s a nice positive aspect. Personally, I don’t think it out-weights the negative ones. Too many bad experiences with badly designed digital menus.

> Sure, if you have a special case you can still ask, but for most people it's just like "OK going to give the money now".

My experience (around here, so obviously YMMV) is that waiters don’t know how to handle exceptions in these restaurants. When you have to escalate to the manager just because you have issues with the menu and the waiter hasn’t been trained properly (of course they haven’t: training costs money), it removes any positive aspect.

> No needing a waiter to come run over to the cashier to deal with you on top of everyhting else

In these cases I just walk to the bar to pay and everything is fine. It is considered rude in some settings, but then these settings are also when waiting for the bill is not acceptable.
Yeah, investors don't care about ethics

It's like that everywhere in the EU (UK/Europe overall) - the card providers are the same, either way - Visa and MasterCard. However, each country has a max amount to use without PIN (usually around ~50euro[0]), and PIN can be requested regardless. While 50euro is on the low side of a dinner bill, it's likely okay when paying for a single person only.

Help Link just launched, looking for feedback
Hi all, we've just launched Help Link to help mental health professionals and other professional references such as doctors find the right psychologist for their patients.

Professionals will often get cases that they are unable to take themselves, so spend time finding someone to refer onto.

Help Link matches clients with trusted and recommended mental health professionals and allows them to be filtered by industry specific criteria such as availability and sub specialty.

Any feedback or examples of other professional referral networks much appreciated!

Can you sell the whole things as a ready-to-launch product to a funded org that’s either in the market, or wants to be?

If neither you nor your co-founder have the multiple millions to launch, if you drag the runway out by self-funding (and taking on a bunch of consumer debt), I suspect that in 6 months time you will be in the same position you are now, but on the verge of bankruptcy (or over the edge…). You have no winning position by continuing the same path you are in.
Reading all the comments it looks like there’s a market for a good implementation of online menu that:

* fits screen well

* has great filter/sort/search option

* loads quick

* can be updated live

All you need to sell this is go out to eat and find shitty implementations!
