It looks a lot like that was landed without completion of a proper review, and with several changes made without any review. I appreciated Netgate's commitment to improve the FreeBSD operating system, and to build the pfSense product. It's the attitude of Netgate's team, where an opportunity to offer a mea culpa and move forwards with the expertise of a core FreeBSD developer/maintainer and the subject matter expert was presented, was instead met with open hostility. It made it appear as if getting it done was more important than getting it right. Sometimes we get things wrong, we put a lot of work into code that we're proud of, then our project manager and peers come along and absolutely tear it down and rebuild it. It's an opportunity for growth, not a waste of effort or money.

I'm glad things improved and that you guys brought on Christian McDonald.
They are comparable exactly in the way that you can get arrested and put in jail for posting your opinion on social media if it goes against orthodoxy
> What does this even mean?

The passage means that it's cleaner to burn the fuel once in a very efficient power plant than to have hundreds of smaller furnaces burn the same total amount of oil or coal. More complete combustion means better and cleaner energy. It also means there's no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in those buildings.

> Steam is not a source of energy at all; it's a transfer medium.

By this argument, the fossil fuels you mentioned aren't an energy source either, but just a (very inefficient) transfer medium from hydrogen fusion in our sun into chlorophyll, then about 20 more steps and several million years.

If you can extract useful work from it, it's an energy source. Everything else is just a question of degree.
Your Honor, the witness clearly stated in response to a question regarding Elon Musk's policies an opinion which clearly implied that Musk's statements in regards to free speech meant that he would have a free speech policy. Can we have the court reporter read it back?

"Question: Can you elaborate on his policies? I personally do not have first-hand knowledge of them. As far as I know, it’s currently a big question mark.

Witness: Elon has expressed support for free speech and treating both left and right equally."

Does the witness wish to clarify their statement or will they state the factors which lead to their belief that Elon Musk would do things in line with he says?
I think we need work in conversational interfaces into IDEs. Tab-completion is insufficient
What “game over” for the latest paradigm in AI might look like
Hate is a very strong feeling. The threshold for hating a co-human should be quite high. Most people "hating" Musk have not met him and have not been assaulted, wronged or harmed by him, and he has only had minor impact on their lives (depending on how much credit you give him personally for products such as Tesla)

I find it difficult to understand the level of aggressiveness he awakes in some people. Are they actually feeling hate or just camouflaging some other feelings? Envy? Injustice? Are they hating him on the behalf of others?
Coming from someone in the camp you rail against, and judging by the ups and down votes I've done in this thread, I'd say it's 50-50. But judging by how many grey and downvoted posts I've seen that I agree with or think are reasonable comments, I'd say it's much more skewed and one sided.
I used to think the black bar was a CSS bug in my browser, until I finally saw a thread like this one.
It is not an "audiobook" per se, but a "audiodrama" based on an old booklet which itself was converted to a complete book later on:

> I use these cookiecutter templates for almost all of my new projects. They configure a testing framework with a single passing test and GitHub Actions workflows to exercise it all from the very start.

this looks pretty handy and i feel like if anyone from @github is reading this it could maybe be built in to make the templates functionality a bit more useful out of the box
It's so weird to me that this initially became common with websites that were "optimized for iphones". Boggled my mind, since pinch-zooming was what made iPhones so cool initially
It's the everyday minutiae.
the videos are all fairly self contained. usually limited to trying to fix a specific bug, or implement a specific feature. the livestreams are just q&a, focused on (but not exclusive to) technical questions.

just pick something that sounds interesting, basically. there's no need to have watched prior videos to understand what's going on, generally. Either way, most of the code encountered in the video will mostly have been written without being recorded
Not really. Twitter is really a very simple messaging system with messages being public.

If you take some pub sub like Kafka, Nats or RabbitMQ and bolt some code into it, it really is trivial. You scale by using Kubernetes for services and by sharding and replicating the DBs. It's really easy these days.

Maybe it was more complicated in 20 years ago.
Same experience in Norway. Most day-to-day operations are handled using apps. Ordering at restaurants using QR codes, finding out bus routes and paying for a (digital) bus tickets, paying for a parking spot, using EV charging stations, etc. It is all done using an app. Apple Pay is a blessing. It takes a bit of getting used to. Especially as a tourist. But it works great. But I hate think what would happen if a loose my phone…
The big rush is the November 1st stock vest. They need people out by Monday at the latest to avoid a massive payday.
True, however and without wanting to steel this thread, there is one good thing about Google's strategy, it shows a glimpse of how Longhorn could have been like as managed OS, if the teams actually worked together instead of WinDev defending their feud and redoing the whole stuff in COM, and now we are stuck with it.

So in some sense, it is the kind of strategy that is required when needed to prove a point instead of trying to convince others just with words, which is always a big pain point when trying to talk about better approaches to secure software development.
Didn't he just get a golden parachute of around 54 Million dollars? Would a portion of that be enough to get going?
Because that's a ludicrous amount of code for almost anything and Twitter has a relatively limited scope.
Facebook is out of cash. And even if they were expanding, Facebook is orders of magnitude more complex, is not sure all ex Twitter employees would have been a good match for Facebook.
I know it's not a "problem" but I wonder why they didn't just went with some actual high power connector instead of just adding pins over and over again. XT60 have been well tested in RC industry and it's 720W sustained and 3x that in peak. Just add sense connector and you're done
why do you need a code review for this ? It is easily scriptable w/ GH, and I would expect whatever system used by twitter to support this kind of basic functionalities.
Wow. Imagine a popular OSS author having the opposite viewpoints as you and publicly espousing it on HN. I can't think of one, wonder why.

No wonder you guys are all upset about this, the social gravy train is going away.
Switching cost is 0 as long as your friends are on the other platform. Just get enough people pissed off at elon to "try" out the new service and enough might stick around.

Yes, the copilot UX is extremely detrimental to reputation of AI systems for coding. I think we need some UX work to better explain possibilities and limitations and programming will never be the same
Re: "Dealing With Foreigners: A Case: The state of Ethiopia dealt with as a clan"

The opposite also happens, with Ethiopia treating Somaliland as a centralized state and trying to find a single counterparty for cross-border cooperation to make things legible. E.g. when one private utility operator in Somaliland wanted to import electricity from the Ethiopian state-owned power company, the Ethiopian side urged the many different Somali utilities to form a single entity for the deal: https://www.capitalethiopia.com/2022/09/25/somaliland-forms-...
I've seen him say and do a lot of controversial and in my opinion very immoral things in the last year.

Maybe I'm just talking for myself but if I used Twitter, and a decent modern alternative existed, I'd at least make an account and hope other came along so I didn't have to be part of his "town square" or his "everything app" (which sounds like a nightmare).

I think Musk has done some good things in the past, but honestly, he seems like an asshole and increasingly willing to do questionable things for money and to protect his interests.

I don't use any of his products and I'd been more than happy if it stays that way.
Yes. There are heat pumps capable of producing steam up to 200C. They are meant for industrial applications, and I think they're a relatively new development so not much used yet.
That's based on the assumption that Serenity will never get to the point where it is truly useful and able to be used as your primary operating system. And I can understand that assumption, but it's also never going to happen if no one goes and does it, even if the task is daunting and monumental. I think if progress keeps up at the current rate, it will still take many years, but this will absolutely turn into something more than just a novelty.
Arguing that advertising in general is bad is even more of a nonsense statement.
They should be happy. Get your engineers out and about for a bit, dump on some disposable soon to be ex Twitter developers to boost their morale while at it. Genius.
You probably wouldn't since those engineers probably signed consulting agreements with Twitter, and are being paid by Twitter, not Tesla for this work.
LOC produced is a good example of what I call "negative" metric: high value does not mean much, but low value is a good indication that something is up.

As a manager, I won't care that dev A produces 2k vs dev B produced 4k. But if I see dev C would produced only 30 loc over say a quarter, something is most likely off.
There is nothing on Earth I'd be willing to bet my life savings on, sounds like a kind of stupid idea?
Gene expression is dependent on incredible amount of variables. It'd be a cosmic level of coincidence to have two clones express the same way. That never happens even in single-cell organisms, much less something as complex as fish or human.
Subaru is too small for this crap and also design their cars around people wearing gloves so lots of chunky knobs.

We are getting their ev next the Solterra which is a shared venture with Toyota.
Still afaik I don’t think it’s effective to mingle in that community. People sometimes need to come to conclusions on their own, and adversial stances usually don’t work, especially if there is a feeling of victimhood or other insecurities playing along. This is especially true online where advocating for A automatically seems to mean you are against B.

The labels aren’t the problem per se, but how we go about treatment, communication and building healthy psyches and ego is.
But it's far less efficient to create the steam in the first place. And the lack of pumping is not free, the energy comes from the steam itself.

Sure for the end users point of view it might seem more efficient but as a net hot water is far far more efficient.
Some cities do use big heat pumps in district heating systems, so probably it could be used for steam too.
CarPlay cannot be used at all if you do not have Siri enabled on the device.
In what model of Tesla are the updates automatic? I've always been prompted whether I want to install an update, or schedule it to be installed at some early hour in the morning. I'm also told about how long the update will take (generally 25 mins).

But I agree about the horribleness of the UI changes - I still hate whatever the UI update was that went out like a year ago and haven't figured out why they actually did it.
There was a prototype in 2011 that, though the wheel was still a wheel, was otherwise even worse than you're imagining: No touch buttons, it used gestures.

The problem is, it is not clear that deterrance works for very serious crimes like murder. AFAIK murder rates are the same or higher in countries with harsher penalties. I could imagine it is very difficult to determine how the causality is. To maximize societal peace, it might be more beneficial to completely tabooize killing another person (including death penalty) and deal in another way with murderers.

It is also not clear if nuclear MAD actually "works". It is a convenient story to justify cold war security measures and military spending.

The deterrance value of promising a second strike is high, but the actual military gain of performing the second strike is small. States are strongly incentivized to announce MAD, but to not actually go through with it. If you are defeated by a first strike and cannot win the war conventionally, it is more logical to surrender unconditionally than to render the world uninhabitable. When it was clear that Germany would lose WW2, Hitler issued the Nero Decree and ordered the self-destruction of German infrastructure, but even the radicalized Germans didn't go though with it.

To add to this, the actual war plans of NATO and Warsaw Pact were centered around swift tank warfare in central Europe. Nuclear weapons were supposed to be used tactically, to deny ground and to destroy groups of tanks. But of course the US military preferred to talk about their awesome power to hit Russian cities, rather than about their plans to deploy nuclear mines in the middle of West Germany.
You don`t have to "catch up" per se. You will get into it by just watching some bits here and there.

"gravy boat"

Cause it's shaped like a simple boat. Or sort of is. Kind of like how 'soft quotes' are considered soft because they aren't in a very hard like up and down position, and are instead positioned like a feather softly falling. (or so I guess)
They’re extraordinarily convenient; a cafe I enjoy uses it for the total bill. Instead of handing off your physical card, the QR code presents your bill within the app clip, complete with apple pay (or enter your card details), done.
>Imagine if you printed off your code and ended up with only a few pages of paper you’d fee pretty silly

I would copy/paste some hundreds pages from GitHub so Musk would give me a raise. :)
In what way is it degrading to show your work?
The problem is not external, 500 or 1000 W is not that much in the grand scheme of things (a euro plug allows up to 625W, unearthed).

The issue is internal: because the top PSU rail is only 12V, high-power devices (mostly GPU) need to push very high amperage totals. And because PC internal layouts, they can’t do that through large wires with huge connectors.

Also a legacy of cheap friction fit.
Some cities do use big heat pumps in district heating systems, so probably it could be used for steam too.

I think steam is somewhat antiquated, it has needlessly large temperature differential to the environment which leads to excess transfer losses compared to normal district heating using hot water.
I’m confused too.. when I imagine the purposes behind these type of shares, it always brings out the cynic in me.
When the BlueGene/Q came online for testing and early science in Livermore, some of my colleagues burned out a number of power supplies. IBM wanted to make sure they weren't doing some "trivial" task; I guess while(true){x+=1} or something? No, they were really running lattice QCD calculations. Anyway they were not prepared for kernels in hand-optimized assembly, and IBM had to beef up the power supplies.
> The death penalty for murder is understandable, even if you don't agree with it.

I love reading specifics of other cultures, exposing as they do the values that I mistakenly understood to be universal. Even secular, Enlightenment ideas are informed by Christian ideals regarding sin, salvation, forgiveness and redemption; I, not a Christian, nevertheless "hold these truths to be self-evident". A culture without that tradition no doubt finds our Western system to be at least as bizarre.

Even so, our own legal system is less concerned with lofty ideas of Justice than it is with maintaining order and stability. If you read through this system again in that light, all of it seems quite rational. A society in which there is no central authority decides transgression and punishment based on centuries of tradition, a history of trial-and-error, so to speak.

> But killing other innocent people as a penalty for murder is indefensible, even if they are from the same family as the murderer.

From the perspective of the legal system, the family is not innocent: they produced and raised a murderer and outlaw. For the sake of the broader community, the family must be corrected.
Can someone from Twitter do this and let us know how it goes
what to do if the very initial requirement of "have energy" is not satisfied.
The perils of service model, normally you'd just be able to use it with older version of their product just fine and only have that feature taken away when you upgrade
I know you mean it in jest, but language choice is far more than 'just' knowledge.

In see them young engineers bringing their new fancy stuff, and of course hitting walls everywhere, walls that we (old farts) sweated buckets to handle on our old. Dependency management (not only the libs, packages, but also the underlings OS, or libc, or even ISA...) and upgrade mills, training costs all over, coding standards to draw up, peer review tools and practices to upgrade, interfacing options with other projects to normalize, perf practices to upgrade... I'm forgetting many, and I have this email ready for every new language or tech, with all the hurdles to clear (and the post-mortem costs of clearing them in the past). Do the work, show your org and peers you thought about it seriously and how much we'll win.

If then the juice is worth the squeeze, by all means, let's go. It happens, a lot, but it can't be an individual choice for the whole org, or 'it's just a language'.

Sorry for the Sunday rant...
4chan is doing good
But surely at the very least there is an opportunity cost of the Tesla engineers not working. What is the point of them if they don’t work?
Have you written more than a few pages of code in the past 30 days?
So you'd be ok if you come to work tomorrow and some dudes are there all of a sudden asking you to print off your code looking for flaws so you can be fired?

Even if that's not whats going on, you'd assume something similar ? Why else would people hardly familiar with a code base, lacking a lot of context want to randomly start scrutinizing your work ?
Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your Wetware
> if they update the menus dynamically is fantastic

Until it's the prices that are dynamically updated.

Soon enough they'll use the information collected from your device to look up your income level, how often you've visited in the past, what kinds of things you're most likely to order, etc and use that data to set a price for your menu alone and suddenly you're paying more than the person next to you who is ordering the same thing.
I'm upvoting you, because calling it disturbing really doesn't make sense unless egotism is involved. IMHO.

If someone can explain why it's not just egotism, please go right ahead. Otherwise, it really does seem like it. To me at least.

Other comments try to sort of deal with this problem in their explanations about soft and hard quotes, but they don't really deal with the part about it being disturbing.

What's so disturbing about using a feature available on your device? Especially when it does nothing harmful to the user, or recipients of that users communications?
Ask HN: Who is paying for Washington Post, Bloomberg, NYT, and why?
This kind of bothers me, but maybe somebody had a better perspective. The above listed news agencies are both (1) frequently cited on HN, annd (2) are all top Google results whenever you look up a news story. You always get two sentences in before paywall pops up. Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, worth $126B. Bloomberg is worth $76B. Reuters is held by Thomson-Reuters, which is chaired by David Thomson, worth $46B. NYT is owned by a trust fund for the fifth generation of AG Sulzberger, which is honestly the least conflict of interest of the lot. Elon now owns the window a lot of people discover these articles with. Why give them all more money?

Furthermore, why is the default HN behavior to link the article, and not the archive.ph version?
This is bizarrely accurate. 1/4 plate steel? Zero issues. Wood anything? Forget it.
You want to make the accusation that the business failures of someone who has had legitimate successes on the scale of Elon Musk are con jobs then the burden of proof is on you. And I don't see an proof. Not from you, and not from anyone else who says it.
The worst thing about QR code menus is that smart phones are fucking terrible, and society should not be allowed to insist that I carry one. Does anyone actually like using these ad infested anticomputers? They're actually just pieces of trash.
This is also a sign that code reviews are not working properly (either missing due to a team too small; or not enough time invested to do them properly; or people are not "free" enough to tell their coworker that their code is bad; or it was done too late, once there isn't enough time to fix it; etc).

That's mostly an organisation failure.
Anecdotally, I’ve been a sysadmin for 20 years, been around computers since I was a toddler (apparently slept on top of a Data General something-or-other as a baby..). I have the skills to learn how to do dnsmasq-based blocking from scratch, write the scripts to fetch blocklists, init scripts etcetera. However, I run AdGuardHome on my OpenWRT router because I want to spend my time elsewhere. It was a case of install the package, fiddle the DNS routing slightly, pick my blocklists, and pick my up streams.

If I want metrics, I just open a browser and see what clients have been the noisiest, what’s being blocked a lot and so on. Generally I don’t even think about it.
The Game Go Is Not a Game
Consider a legal configuration of a Go board. Choose an arbitrary order for the board and use (-1,1,0) to represent black stones, white stones and emptiness. The Bubble Sort algorithm defines a valid game. Because the board is finite, the strategy will repeat in finite time. It will cover all valid Go board configurations. This proves that all legal Go strategies are equivalent. As an exercise, the interested reader can compute the number of legal configurations of a Go board. Hint: consider the triple (P,NP,True)/Z3.

PiHole & AdGuard are DNS blockers. Those tools are only serving/blocking domain mame requests. So they are not aware of the actual request your client is sending to those servers (to for example download a file). So no, by the nature of the DNS protocol this is not possible with those tools. What you probably wanna do is to use some kind of proxy which does deep package inspection (be aware that this is very resource intensive since you have to break up encryption and stuff).

Properly not worth it for the task you described. Simply add a DNS whitelist to AdGuard or manually unblock those domains causing issues.
