Renewables supply approximately 25% of Europe's energy. Are you telling me it's impossible to quadruple the amount of renewable power generation in Europe? If Europe switches to heat pumps & EV's etc it'll need to double again. Still less than a single order of magnitude increase.
uhh tbh no. i have had problems with that stupid little center piece in a usb c port weakening because it's still a stupid design.
I had the unpleasant experience of submitting an extension to Google Chrome Webstore. Here is a summary:

1- Submit an update

2- Wait a week for it to be approved

3- Publish said update

4- Forget about it and move to working on something else for a few days/weeks

5- Get a random rejection email with a bogus claim and 14 days to "fix it" or the extension is removed

6- Drop everything in my sprint so I can handle this. No actual code change was required, just a series of Kafkaesque support forms and email exchanges.

After 3 or 4 rounds of this, I created a template response with a history of previous interactions and arguments and sending those became part of the routine ...

Branching into audio books is the obvious next move. It's not like Netflix attempting to make games. If you think that's bad, take a look at Disney

You can't vote directly for supreme court justice. At best you have to temper guessing when the next one is gonna croak and deciding whether you want to vote for the candidate who will nominate/confirm the justice you want, or vote for the candidate that better fits your position in the event none of them croak.

Starcraft Remastered was designed with the explicit goal of changing as little as possible. The target audience for the remaster is well-versed in the bugs of the original game and wanted them reproduced.

Compare with Warcraft III Reforged. Modding with the original WC3 was extremely popular: DotA started as a mod for WC3, so Blizzard should have focused on compatibility. Not doing so led to the poor reception.
Oh great, only 300TWH of batteries! Let's put in the P.O.! Who is supplying those, again?
Same in Safari. It's pretty cool actually. In the demo, it does as you say when you switch tabs: plays a few more notes in the right channel, then holds the left in a loop of the last sample.

Why it is isn't the other way around? Customer support should start learning SWE and UX/UI. UX/UI people should learn SWE and customer support. Why this expectation only for SWE?

Anecdotally, the biggest winners of the first dotcom boom were South Bay used furniture dealers who could sell a startup all the furniture they'd need to fit out an office, then buy it back cheaper when the startup folded in eight months, and sell it yet again to the next startup to, uh, start up.
There’s been three in total and the new one works concurrently with usbc and is an optional, nice, extra.
That's a really neat experience. Thanks for sharing :)
It is not a difference in mind sets.

Those "non technical people" want the same thing that the "tech heads" want: One type of cable that is compatible with all their devices. They just don't necessarily realize that they have already organized their lives in a way that excludes mismatched cables.

I would be just as happy to have everything switch to lightning. I really don't care what it is I just want all my cables to be the same.
> Maybe? The USB specifications calls for USB Micro-B to have the same 10,000 connect/disconnect cycles as USB-C

Micro USB was such a dumpster fire. I never got within two orders of magnitude of that spec, I'm pretty sure. It's a terrible connector, easily broken.
Ask HN: What can I do to start reading again?
I have tried reading things I like (science fiction) and technical books, but for some reason I cannot seem to focus and complete them. It is very difficult for me to read more than 15-20 pages after I sit down to read.

I believe reading is a skill and a habit, and that building the habit matters more than trying to seem smart reading a technical book like I should.

TLDR: would reading Animorphs series or something stupid help me more than reading a technical book? Should I try to isolate and read quietly, or train myself to read with the TV on to a game or something to practice focusing? Does anyone have anecdotal evidence going from a non-reader to being a reader?

How do you go from here (illiterate) to there (reading books 24/7)?
because a web backend has a particular pattern of deployment that you can exploit and bake into your system that changes less often than the meat of your web app itself. You could either build out that pattern using container orchestration or using programs running inside container orchestration that in turn orchestrate the more lightweight wasm binaries. I think what you would find is the later to be faster, responsible and stable. It is basically a trade off between writing that logic at say the k8s operator / custom resource layer, or placing that logic inside containers running on k8s that each run wasm binaries.
I don't know but just so you know, it can also make it a lot worse by cutting off the gulf stream which is how we're not spending even more energy in (especially northern) Europe.
I mean, it's also GoDaddy for whatever that's worth.

But on the other hand, for an internship, it's good being around other people. Not necessary other employees, but does he have a group of others in similar roles?

I've surrounded myself with other devs for example. If I need to chat, I know the friends and people I can reach out to. If he doesn't have that because where he's at doesn't have it, then it makes sense to get that by going in person.

But I don't think it's a trend. If we are going by anecdotal, there are many more stories of people wanting and going full remote.

Main stories I have seen about going to the office for me sound like the places that went remote only during the pandemic and don't know how to handle it. As someone that's been remote over 10 years, not every company has the tools and structure to handle remote workers correctly. Add to that micromanagers and other things, and it gets worse.
Aren't those stored on the card/passport, not in any central database? They already have your photo printed on them (as well as stored digitally in some cases). I don't really see a difference between a fingerprint reader comparing against the print stored in the ID card and a camera comparing your face to the photo printed on it.

Of course there is the case of a rogue terminal surreptitiously saving your fingerprint or photo, but even before we had automated facial recognition at border crossings, you'd still have to hand in your passport to be scanned (to read the MRZ) and stamped, so a rogue terminal could have been saving photos all along.

No Winter has started this year yet, we have one more month of Autumn/Fall.

As much as I want to roll my eyes at this, it's important no matter what your political opinion is! For now we might be talking "unpopular" but what if you have political speech that is popular but opposes what the people in charge at the time think?
Cortex-A appears to be way more vendor-implementation dependent. For example, I remember reading that the Raspberry Pi SoC, which uses a Cortex-A72 core, actually boots off its GPU.

Hi Kevin, I have applied for the software engineering roles. Look forward to hearing from you.
I've certainly charged my Switch with the charger and cable that came with my 2018 MacBook Pro, and it never caused an issue. Nor is the Switch in question of particularly new vintage (it's closing in on three years old now).
That happens the other way round too, hence the workaround GP suggested. It's a little uncomfortable because you naturally push the other way while cutting, but you can get used to it.

When you use left handed scissors with your right hand, you apply some force to the blades that moves them slightly apart, while with right-handed ones, you force them together tightly. You need to actively work against that.
Well, if you're running Epsilon (a really great commercial Emacs clone), you can use this macro:

new-day: macro "<EscapeKey>>----------------<EnterKey>A-xinsert da <EnterKey><EnterKey><EnterKey><TabKey>"

... which I bind to C-M-N.

I have the following batch file in my path:

note.cmd
--------
@echo off
epsilon -add +9999999 %USERPROFILE%\notes.txt

You can tell I'm running Windows; I have a similar thing for Linux (Epsilon also runs there).

That's it. Nothing fancy. You could do it with just about any modern editor.
That would then be $8k for a family of 4.
By "lose data" I mean losing a confirmed write. That is, the server got a request to modify some state, and it responded to the request indicating success, but the change is later lost. Generally it's expected that databases will not lose confirmed writes, unless the application has explicitly made the decision that this is acceptable and opted into possible data loss to improve performance.

You mean to submit this comment at zerohedge?
It’s odd that in my area non HOA areas have grown in price more than the gated cookie cutter communities. The people with money want out of there and live by the river and be able to have block parties with cookouts without having to be backed by a change.org petition and petty meetings.

But I’ve also seen that in some areas all you have is HOAs because nothing was developed before those communities and whatever is outside can be pretty crappy.
Of the 7 lightening cables I own, two of them have stopped working, and one of them only charges in only one orientation (flip it, and it doesn't work). I'm hoping that usb-c on Apple devices will be more reliable.
I have had Android phones where the USB-C port has failed bricking the device (can’t charge). Micro-USB was far worse, but USB-C still fails to often.

Lightning appears to be much more robust (anecdotally watching friends devices, I have had few Apple iDevices). Mechanically and electrically, I like the lightning connector (although I loath proprietary shit generally).
This guide advertises his number for this purpose, as do most of the local guides. No worse than it being posted on Yelp, LonelyPlanet, etc.

Podcasting 2.0 is mostly about removing ads, shifting to a direct streaming monetary support model via crypto. The bonus with this model is once advertisers are removed free speech is no longer a problem. Also a big focus on decentralization in order to prevent censorship.
Its not the polish that was bad.

I've played many 3d action-RPG games. Zelda, Monster Hunter, Dynasty Warriors, etc. etc. Witcher1's combat is by far the worst of the series.

Just... laggy, non-responsive controls. But in a bad way (ex: Monster Hunter is also laggy/non-responsive, but in a way that's "obvious" that the slowdown is purposeful and tactical. You need to be very careful about when you attack or not attack vs various monsters in that game).

Witcher 1's combat in contrast, has a lot of repetition and not a lot of depth IMO. At least, from what I remember. Witcher2 onwards had much better ideas of "fun combat" experiences.

--------

I can still go back to old PS2 era Dynasty Warriors, mash square and have fun. Its not about "dated graphics". I admit dynasty warriors is a mashy-heavy game with a casual mindset, but I think Witcher couldn't really decide if it wanted to be a punishing slow game (like Monster Hunter/Souls series), or a faster twitch game, and just weirdly plays in this unfun position between the two extremes.

Its fine to have a slow punishing game (Monster Hunter / Souls / etc. etc.), but you need a huge variety of bosses to keep interest. Witcher 1 felt pretty stale after a short time, since there's just not as much variety.

Somehow, I don't find Dynasty Warriors gameplay stale (despite being a square-mash simulator). I don't fully understand why however. I guess DW is more about positioning of the player-character (the enemy army is always winning where you are _not_ located, so Dynasty Warriors feels more like a firefighter simulator, where you're running around the battlefield trying to fix issues in the army... rather than really being a combat game?)
I agree that the digital world can have detrimental effects, but I don't think it's alone in that. I have many friends, a brother, and a wife who also credit sports for all of the above, with the added benefit of a the trauma and lifelong pain from the injury that forced them to quit. Books honestly seem like a complete win. Hopefully my daughter will benefit from the safest parts of all 3.
I can't shake the feeling that Tailscale's SSH authentication mechanism is at the wrong layer of the stack. It appears to work by looking at the (source, dest) IP address pair and mapping that to a Tailscale identity. But this may mean that any user or anyone who can initiate TCP connections from an authenticated user's IP can authenticate to the destination over Tailscale SSH.

If Tailscale's client was a userspace construct bound to a specific user SSH program, maybe fine. But Tailscale's client is a regular VPN client. What happens if you connect to the Tailscale VPN, open a malicious but sandboxed app of some sort, and that app connects to the target on TCP port 22.

For all that it's a seriously unfinished product, Cloudflare's SSH offering seems better thought out. Perhaps Tailscale should find a way to issue a short-lived certificate and use that in addition?

(It looks like regular sshd could almost be convinced to handle this. If the SSH_CONNECTION environment variable were passed to the AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand helper or if the source and destination were available as '%' tokens, then AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand could do the Tailscale tuple lookup and use it as a second factor in addition to a short-lived certificate (or regular SSH key or whatever). I bet openssh would accept a patch for this.)
Samples are funded by the expectation that some will follow through with a purchase and justify the free distribution of those samples.

Websites with ads are funded by the expectation that some will click through, make a purchase, and justify the free distribution of those bits.

If you eat samples with no intent of making a purchase, you are subverting FoodCo's expectation that samples will lead to sales. You are making their business model unsustainable.

Why do you think the free taking of bits (which cost much less to serve, and is much less tangible) is less justified than the free taking of food samples? In both cases it subverts the business model expectations of the party offering the free stuff.

I think individuals are not obligated to support the business models of companies that give them free stuff in hopes it will make them money - so have no moral concerns with either case.
It's likely because services like these use models as data feeds and not live/recorded data.

> Now we know that it's a ground-up remake of the game that introduced Geralt of Rivia to Witcher fans outside of Poland.

I was always of the impression that it was Witcher III that achieved this.

I'm Polish so I genuinely don't know. Were the previous two installments popular outside of Poland?
I sometimes regret I never learned to "really" write shell scripts. I stumbled across Perl early on, and for anything more complex than canned command invocation(s) or a simple loop, I usually go for Perl.

There is something to be said in favor of the shell being always available, but Perl is almost always available. FreeBSD does not have it base of the base system, but OpenBSD does, and most Linux distros do, too.

But it is fun to connect a couple of simple commands via pipes and create something surprisingly complex. I don't do it all the time, but it happens.

Remember Monochrome Screens?
What happened to them? I remember how much I loved the old screens on the iPod before they went color only, it was washed out and very ugly. The iPod I had would appear crisp and readable in the daytime, has a nice backlight and the battery was good if it didn’t have an HDD. I saw the remarkable topic and just thought about the old ebook readers with monochrome screens. I’d prefer one to eink: fast refresh, visible in the daytime and non distracting.
VR is great for working out (in doses of about 1 hour a day), but I can't see spending non-fitness time with my Quest. I wish Zuck would get more excited about things like BeatSaber, these are really the killer apps!

>Winning on social media is a hollow activity, with no chance of success and nothing of value to be won even if you did.

When you're there not for the fight or argument. It is extremely valuable. The problem is... they don't allow you to discuss it. They wish to control the narrative and intentionally disallow discussion.

>However, there is a battlefield: the voting booth.

I certainly hope you are not considering this in a literal sense.

>People who believe misinformation vote, and the social contract requires us to live with the consequences of that vote. Some misinformation results in choices that harm people.

The difference between misinformation and fact seems to be 6 months.

>The whole idea is that we're supposed to discuss it before we vote, and social media would have seemed an ideal place to hold that discussion. Instead, we spend a lot of it fighting over things that are straightforward enough that it should be easy to achieve widespread consensus. Democracy doesn't require or even desire unanimity, but it expects an agreement about things that are fairly obvious.

Social media when it allowed the discussion was an ideal place. The problem is that political activists abused the platforms and took control. The discussion is happening now, it took time for the republicans to figure out their mistake.

Witcher 2 was popular in my social circle in the USA. A lot of us went back to Witcher 1 afterwards to get a better idea of the story.

So I'd say Witcher 2 was when the series started to get popular. Witcher 3 was riding on 2's coattails. Now that the Netflix show is popular, Witcher1 does deserve a remake.
To be fair, thinking and writing without error (on topics like this) is hard, and it's rather culturally frowned upon here and elsewhere.
This might be true, but I wonder if there's really anyone so unlikable that they couldn't find an audience in the long tail. Extremism unfortunately seems to be able to find a way despite deplatforming. See examples like Nick Fuentes who recently attracted some of the most prominent politicians to his conference.
Tech is heavily heavily impacted by politics.

If you work in a publicly traded company, you are super impacted by politics. Look at your compensation.

If you work in anything that requires access to semiconductors, you are super impacted by politics. (Tell me TSMC shutting down will only impact "those who want politics to impact them".)

If you work in a company that is trying to acquire other companies or engages in regulatory capture, politics impacts you.

If you work in a company or technology that has the interest of government, it impacts you (ask blockchain companies, ask social companies, ask tech security companies, ask app stores).

If you work in a company that depends on Section 230, GDPR, etc - politics is a huge impact on your job.

If you are part of a group that is a target of campaigns to create division, you are impacted by politics.

If you go and buy things at a grocery store, you're impacted by politics.

If you want to acquire a competitor, politics impacts you.

If you want to sell your goods to people in another country, politics impacts you.

If you work at Boeing (based on your username), you are 100% impacted by politics.

I'm going to throw it back at you, what isn't impacted by politics?

You are confusing efficiency with some other metrics. Solar is 20%, but there is no point comparing it to efficiency of gas or nuclear - it's apples to oranges.
I moved a handful of my domains MX records to Fastmail so that family members had a super simple UI and good UX experience. It isn't free but in some regards neither is Gmail. Either way it is very affordable. The one concern I have seen mentioned is that their headquarters is in AU and they have some very dystopian government policies but I have no idea if that has ever impacted anyone. Fastmail handle DKIM signing of your emails. I've not had any delivery issues with them as of yet after several years. If using your own domains it is easy to set up a canary alias for each vendor to limit cross-marketing and cross-market tracking. They also allow creating aliases on several of their domains but finding the alias you want may be harder.
I've never once seen people talking about climate change directly as a response to this sort of protest. Like, it gets brought up in terms of how I just brought it up, I said the words "climate change", but we're not having a discussion.

Because of course we're not. Climate change doesn't need more attention, everyone knows about it, whether they believe it's a problem or not. This isn't bringing awareness to anyone and it isn't changing anyone's mind.
