Interesting. Honda's core competency has long been internal combustion engines (ICE). My household has, for a long time, had a Honda car, motor scooter (110cc), and lawnmower. We don't need a generator, but if we did we would pick Honda. I was an early adopter of their Insight hybrid car, almost a quarter-century ago. That was focused on battery support for a very light ICE, not on replacing the ICE. It was effective.

I've long believed they were all in on hydrogen fuel as the next big thing, because it would preserve their internal combustion tech investment. And, I've long believed that was an existential mistake. They, working with Toyota, could have pulled it off by pouring bucketloads of upfront capital into refueling infrastructure (like Tesla did with their Supercharger network). But they didn't. Pilot projects with short-range delivery vans don't cut it.

It's about time they started working on BEV.

But: pedals? pedals with ergonomic problems? (No seat height adjustment is evident and they're far too widely spaced to let a rider get any power without rocking back and forth.)

There are plenty of decent e-bikes in this market space. Most of them leverage the existing cycling parts and service capabilities . Honda's coming late to this party.

We shall see.

I use this[1] for making sure I have everything I've purchased from Bandcamp downloaded to my NAS. Even made a bash alias to wrap it so I just type `bandcamp` after I've purchased something and it downloads and sorts it immediately.

For UK data, the best place to get this data is Elexon's Insights Solution - https://bmrs.elexon.co.uk/.

They have a great visualization for generation by fuel type, including interconnectors - https://bmrs.elexon.co.uk/generation-by-fuel-type

This will replace Elexon's Balancing Mechanism Reporting Service (https://www.bmreports.com/) in 2023.

The key updates are

- better API support including XML, JSON and CSV, along with better docs

- more data viz to really pull out the story behind what's going on

- their new IRIS data push service will be delivered in early 2023

Who believes artists and human art isn't going anywhere? So this business art is just replacing art no one was doing, or it was just happening for free somehow?

Do you think any of the artists that created the content the AI learns from are going to get any royalties for this business use?

The steam client is still 32bits, statically load "libX11" libs, statically load libGL.

Waiting for wayland->x11 and vulkan->GL->CPU runtime fallbacks to happen, and why not that the client becomes a pure and simple ELF64 apps (with the least amount of relocation types), libdl-ing everything, even the libc services it uses and opening itself to alternative C runtimes.

Something tells me...
Teachers definitely need to act like there are no dumb questions.

Not because dumb questions don't exist — I've asked plenty of dumb questions (are my closed physics stack exchange questions visible anywhere?) — but because they're a necessary step to getting good.
Of the 3 FreeBSD firewalls, ipfw is the native firewall, like iptables is for Linux.

The pf firewall is a fork of the OpenBSD firewall. It is the normal choice for someone already familiar with using OpenBSD firewalls. Otherwise, a new user should choose between ipfw and pf the one whose configuration seems easier to understand.

I happen to prefer ipfw, because writing a configuration file for ipfw is exactly like writing a program in a programming language (a language very much like BASIC), which examines the incoming or outgoing packets, by executing instructions sequentially. Others find the syntax used by pf more pleasant, but I find it more difficult to reason about which is the matching rule that will be selected by pf for execution for a certain packet.

The third firewall, ipfilter, is also provided mainly for the former users of it on other operating systems. I am not aware of any particular advantage for it.

You wrote: <<Java and C# can have loong compile times.>> Yes, for initial build. After, it is only incremental. I have worked on three 1M+ line Java projects in my career. All of them could do initial compile with top spec desktop PC in less than 5 mins. Incremental builds were just a few seconds. If your incremental build in Java or C# isn't a few seconds, then your build is broken. Example: Apache Maven multi-module builds are notoriously slow. Most projects don't really need modules, but someone years ago thought it was a good idea. Removing modules can improve compile time by 5x. I have seen it with my own eyes.

You do see the fault with your logic, correct? you state it is an "insane claim" yet offer zero proof... So effectively "based on nothing"?

Here, take a read:

"
WhatsApp announced in 2020 on its blog that the messaging app is actively used by over two billion people worldwide. This puts the green messaging app far ahead of all other messaging apps, such as Facebook Messenger, WeChat, Viber, Apple Business Chat, or Telegram in terms of user numbers.
"

Your personal anecdote that you have a "only one contact" is not relevant, what is relevant is statistics.

Yes, in the USA iMessage is more popular https://www.statista.com/statistics/294439/messenger-app-sha...

but here's the thing, the population of the US is rather small vs other countries where whatsapp is very popular.

The one making "insane claims" is actually you.

the $100k thing is referring to the costs of deep learning, in my case these costs torpedoed an otherwise good looking business case. Other things that academics do is to report "human level" results when they mean "10 people I recruited on AWS mechanical turk, who really didn't give a monkeys about what they were doing". For academic papers indicating that technology might be valuable in the real world it's clear that they should be read as "this technology might be valuable after 5 years of development". The problem is that this tech then gets hyped by thirdparties which then obscure the 5 years of work required - sometimes meaning that the 5 years doesn't get done...
Trees do not reduce CO2 in long run.

For starters, humanity emits more CO2 than the combined mass of entire biosphere (every living organism, not just trees), every 10 years. Even if we were somehow able to cover all landmasses of Earth with trees (which we can't) and thus double/triple the biomass we would only set back the problem by a decade or two.

Second, trees are part of a cycle. They store the CO2 temporarily, then release it mostly back to the atmosphere -- very small part becomes soil.

Trees are not a magical solution that is somehow constantly sequestering CO2 from atmosphere. Trees store a bit of CO2 once and then it stops and can even easily be reversed (if you burn it down). New growth is necessary to keep the store at the same level, otherwise the trees will burn or die and CO2 is returned to the atmosphere.
I would be surprised if El Salvador wouldn't have done a 180 with this Bitcoin thing. Especially since Bitcoin isn't even cool anymore, the really future of crypto is (apparently) in Ethereum.
Here is a good article where people responsible for recent transit mega-projects in Paris and London mock the excuse that tunneling under NYC is especially complicated: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-...

London’s subway work has to stop for freaking Roman ruins. The Second Avenue subway is cake in comparison. It’s just that Americans, specifically New Yorkers, are incompetent at projects that require collective action. More disorganized than the French! There should be some sort of award for that.
Yeah, if everyone was used to reading monospaced fonts then proportional fonts would be hard to read. I suspect there might be a bit of an advantage for proportional in terms of ultimate reading speed in that you might be able to fit in an extra word in your scan, but the alignment of a fixed grid might help a bit too. The real value of proportional fonts is that you can print more stuff on the page and make your book shorter and cheaper. In today's world the paper is basically free, so that is no longer an issue. It just means that you have less text on the screen and will have to page a bit more often.

> You forgot to put two spaces after each full stop (or period, if you prefer).

No, I didn't forget — browsers strip out the extra space, and I wasn't going to take the time to type in the HTML code (&nbsp;) to get an extra space (and HN seems to escape such codes in any case).

Yes, I'm a two-spaces person, because:

A. These days, readers are busy; they tend to scan text instead of leisurely contemplating and savoring each word.

B. The extra space after the period (or the full stop, if you prefer) helps the scanning reader to discern more quickly where one sentence ends and the next begins.

The Two-Space Rule is merely one corollary of The Cardinal Rule of Writing, which is: Serve The Reader.

(Another such corollary is: Short, Single-Subject Paragraphs.)
The No-Code Low-Code tools provide close compliance with business requirements, allowing faster implementation of tasks, and are much cheaper than in-house programs. Companies may save up to $4.4 million by not hiring two IT developers. These businesses only need to invest half of this in no-code/low-code solutions.

"no basis in reality". Do you cook? Gas is functionally superior than traditional electric resistance cooking. That's not some evil lobby, that's practical experience. You can instantly control the temperature without juggling multiple burners at different heats. That makes it better. I'd take gas over electric (resistive
or halogen) all the time - and I've lived with both.

Induction is on par with gas in controllability - and although there are some downsides, the upsides (so easy to clean!) Make it worth it (imo). I'm not saying that because big induction paid me to either.

I'm not on twitter, but I still view the 'best' tweets on various sites that gather them together. This works for me, I can read the newsworthy or particularly funny ones without all the bla-bla ones to dilute them. It's not real-time, but that's fine.
Either one has different criteria of success. Also such "alternative" projects tend to attract whole communities, so users may actually feel like "all they need is here", because their beloved communities are present.

> On Twitter, if someone's making posts you don't want to see, you block or mute the account and see less of it.

The biggest problem with this idea is that there are tweets that you may have legitimate reasons not to want others to see. If someone is smearing you online in some way (revenge porn, lies about your actions, doxxing, stoking others to attack you, etc), then it doesn't really help you to hide these tweets from your feed, you need to have some recourse to hide them from others' feeds to actually achieve something.

Of course, this gets complicated often because it's not easy to tell apart lies about your actions from truths about your actions for example, and any mechanism you have to protect you from someone spreading false hurtful information is also a tool that someone else can use to prevent others spreading true hurtful information. Perhaps the court system is the only good way to solve it - I don't have an answer. But this problem also can't simply be ignored by hiding that person from your feed.

Clerk: Moldable Live Programming for Clojure

I don't understand the update rules as described in the readme.

In an 3x3 neighborhood there are 2^9, not 2^5 states. So we should get 2^512 possible update rules, not 2^32.

I think something similar is described in https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Rule_integer.

I'm not sure that all of those rules are valid. We must have translational invariance. One way to do that is to only update the state of the central cell in each considered neighborhood. In that case 2^9 rules are enough. Are there other ways to define consistent rules for a CA?
Simple approach:

Set up a page saying that support costs a quarter hour of engineering average salary for the country/year/employee who uses Mold. Eg. in a company in the USA, with 30 in the engineering department, that would be $600/yr. Let them know that the license continues to be valid if the company grows during the year.

When a company pays for a license, you give them a license code like "2023-06-Vmware-7676". Tell them to put that code into ~/.mold/license, or to set the env var MOLDLICENSE= to that. The same code lets them into a discussion forum.

When the linker starts, it prints a string saying "Mold Linker, Licensed to Vmware. Support license expires June 2023. See https://github.com/rui314/mold/wiki/support for details".

If there is no license, or the license is expired, it prints "This program is UNSUPPORTED by @rui314. For a paid supported version, see https://github.com/rui314/mold/wiki/support".

But obviously it still works just fine, license or no license.
This is not a pedal-assisted bicycle, it's a motorized bicycle. A pedal-assisted bicycle has to cut the motor power once you stop pedalling, whereas for this Honda the article states "it’s clear from the design that the pedals aren’t intended to be used constantly."

A motorized bicycle (L1e-A) is allowed to power the motor regardless of pedalling and can do up to a 1 kW of continuous power and 25 km/h. A two-wheeled moped (L1e-B) can do 4 kW of continuous power and 45 km/h.
>You have to add on the 34 bcms to the 45 bcms for a total of 79 billion cubic meters expected to be exported to Europe in 2022.

The 34 was already being exported so it's sort of disingenuous to add it in terms of supply/demand impact.

>Costs of LNG export are also higher, but I imagine the profit return on those European sales is about as large as their total profit on all domestic USA sales (and note domestic prices have doubled as well).

Now you're making assumptions.

>So, if Europe's not going to get gas from Russia, who does that leave?

Transitioning to clean energy, nuclear, etc.

Damn that mirrors my experience with my dad pretty much (bar Uni)! He'd also take delight in renting out my support services (mainly as a proud parent but also so I could make some pocket money) by fixing his mates machines, which were usually a piece of cake. Helped me get a career in IT.
I'm fairly sure you can get just about any random person "skilled" enough for raking by handing them a tension tool, saying "Use this to turn the lock", then handing them a rake and saying "simultaneously roughhouse the lock some with this."

This!

It is always shocking when people make such baseless claims like "Everyone users iMessage" when a very simple google search would show them this is not the case.

Oh for sure. Twitter is stil just "a tool". It might not be the right tool for a discussion, but if you choose it for such, its not the tools fault.

And to be fair, "its twitters fault" is also not what Klabnik claims (as far as I can gather from his blog post).
Software patents, "better paperclips", and a lot of other "lawyers get rich, bureaucracies get bigger, little people get screwed patents? - YES.

(Some sort of IP protection or reward system is still needed for real inventions - where it takes serious money, expertise, time, etc. to achieve something major.)

But maybe a better moral would be that shell corporations (& lawyers playing shell games with them) should be outlawed.
While it is true that this is a thing that happens which can be very demotivating, for me i think the more demotivating thing is the idea that i'll do all this work writing stuff down, and nobody will care.

And unfortunately nobody caring is by far the most likely outcome.

I usually tell myself that my blog post is first and foremost for myself to better reflect and understand what i learned. That it is an end in itself and still worthwhile even if nobody reads it. Nonetheless i still find this the most demotivating part of keeping a blog.
I feel like my biggest peeve with this whole situation revolves around a lack of choice on the user’s end, with (presumably) the goal of hardening security. And, then not doing the research to ensure the choices made are actually the most secure.

The more cynical reason might revolve around getting access to your phone number, but we’ll give the benefit of the doubt and say that’s not the case.

In my opinion, websites offering 2FA should give users a choice to pick between:
- Security Key (with Backup Codes you can store offline or SMS)
- Authenticator App (with Backup Codes you can store offline or SMS)
- SMS
- No 2FA

If I want to choose a less secure method for 2FA or backup codes, that should be my choice but clearly communicated.
This is like saying that people who call new painting as super ugly on the wall should stop complaining, because there was originally plan for different painting. Size of layoffs matter. How you execute layoffs matter. How you choose people to be fired and how you treat them matter a lot. And also, it matter a lot whether you dont play into hostile attitude nonsense toward them on social media (they were surely all lazy useless zero product employess think should be at least commented on).

You can come in, have respectful speech, announce yourself as an owner, announce future layoffs and then work on one that at least appear semi reasonable. Or, you can come in with sink, hahaha, make it into twitter joke, spend weekend planning layoff while joking about it on twitter.

These two are radically different.

I don't think the Fediverse has any concept of "verification" as such. Hence "use your own domain to prove your identity".
It's just not worth the Americans' time to be plotting such a thing now. Selling more natural gas is irrelevant to the Biden administration's survival. And there were general elections in both Sweden and Denmark within the past two months — terrible timing for such an offensive CIA operation in NATO waters because any information leak would have handed a potent electoral weapon to anti-American opposition parties.

The Russians are already a very active presence in the Baltic Sea, and this attack fits with their general pattern of confusion and misdirection.
Beautiful blog post. Very clean technically, verbally, and visually.
I personally doubt it. Most of the markets where Whatsapp is THE messaging app is also where iPhone has low penetration.

At least taking the example of India, if Whatsapp were to stop supporting iOS, then people would still continue to use Whatsapp in their Android phones.
More reason to boycott the next World Cup. FIFA has been a corrupt organization for a long time with numerous scandals but this one is over the top. Qatar blatantly bought their way into the 2022 hosting spot and is using slave labor to build gigantic stadiums and towns that will definitely be abandoned right after the events just like the ones from the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. All because the same rich Qatari monarchs that own Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and spend enormous amounts of money (iirc about a billion Euros) in hopes of winning a UEFA Champions League want to see their favorite players go at it in their backyards.
