> You don't have to dig that deep. Musk mentioned his inspiration was the (most expensive per mile and slowest in the world) California HSR in... his very first interview after publishing the whitepaper.

That it was proposed as an alternatige to CA HSR wasn’t the point, that it was proposed only to derail with no intent to build even if successful in derailing HSR was.

(That it was decidedly nonserious in substance as a proposal, aside from questions of intent or technical practicality, deriving most of its cost savings by fantastic assumptions about land acquisition costs and locating its terminals far from the population centers it would notionally serve is also worth keeping in mind.)

I would define "indie web" very briefly as a few things:

- The indie *WEB* is a bunch of websites that leverage techniques (and yes, maybe open source software) to empower their site owners to be, well, more independent to publish their content (no reliance or less reliance) from silos like Facebook, etc. This is not the same but akin to how there is the Fediverse for social media, etc. Not so different from "indie musician", these are just websites that are "indie" (i.e. "indie" from the corporate silos).

- Then, there are techniques that are used to be independent. That wiki website you likely stumbled upon, details lots of techniques, references software that can be used for your website, as well as tons of links to other documentaion and general references that can help. One essential technique - or maybe *approach* is a better word - would be "POSSE - Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. See this page for its definition, and context: https://indieweb.org/POSSE I have found that over the years, folks wishing to homestead their content on websites that they control, starting with the concept of POSSE helps to consumne the ideas behind the "indie web".

I should add that the indie web and the fediverse (of which the mastodon software has recently seen some limelight due to the twitter migration) are not new efforts. The Fediverse has been around since like 2008, while the indie web - though, more recent - is still happyily being used by people on the web for many years.

Its great to see both eglot and tree-sitter being merged. However, I am unhappy about the state of 'emacs configurations/distributions' right now. I have been using Doom Emacs, but the development is pretty much stalled there [0], and I don't think there is any distribution that is keeping up with these cutting-edge features (compared to the NeoVim ecosystem, let's say). Somehow it feels like I was seeing a lot more activity about Emacs configurations two-three years ago.

Ooh, this is interesting. Hoping to see a derivation in https://github.com/nix-community/emacs-overlay soon.

It's not just Finance but other industries have this culture as well.

I think we can agree that anybody who averages more than 400 miles a day is going to need more than 24A charging. Commercial drivers should be using commercial facilities, not residential ones.
The Min-Max Heap Beats a Binary HeapOn Modern Hardware
Which is why the OP includes 32A=7.7kw charging, which is what Tesla's get. OP is only really against insane installations where you charge at 48A=11.5kw, that's the capacity of 1.5 Teslas, and is only really necessary when you're running a horribly inefficient Hummer EV (200 kwh battery getting 350 miles EPA range means it's operating about 600 wh/mile or 1.6 miles per kwh, twice the energy usage of a Model X).
So this professor wants to encapsulate an enzyme in such a way that it can withstand cooking and stomach acid to then break down a component of grassy foods that isn't good for us.... What could possibly go wrong?

The annual ASN fee is waived if you have IPv4 or IPv6 resources: https://www.arin.net/resources/fees/fee_schedule/#autonomous...

Has our civilisation forgotten how to build things any more?

No, we frequently build things.

Imagine if in the 20th century we stopped at "Automobiles are doomed. Who's going to build all these highways and gas stations!?" or "The lightbulb is a nice idea, but we have no power plants, an they're super expensive!"

This happened literally all the time.
It's not a closed system internally. Theorizing about the open circuit voltage is legitimate for an ideal voltage source but entirely useless since it is completely isolated. It is indeed a confusing abstraction, I have to concure.
I have to agree with you. So many of my professors have been vocally disappointed with their students for their lack of intellectual curiosity after it had been beaten out of them through the overstuffed schedules and pointless busy work of K–12.
"Wasting your time on problems that are not part of the business"

How much time?

Sometimes a task that takes X time and seem unrelated to your "main" task, actually increases your productivity when doing the main task.

A prime example is sleeping when trying to build muscle and lose weight.

On a surface level, sleep is a waste of time: you should be in the gym lifting weights or out there running/cycling/swimming. But actually no. Sleeping improves your results, and improves your performance on your workouts.

I'd argue there's a similar dynamic here.

Working on the lower levels of your problem might seem like a waste of time, but it's actually not. If nothing else, you feel more enjoyment from your work. Being engaged with what you do and not being engaged is huge.

Another problem that often occurs when you are always only working in the "high level" is you have no idea how to do anything well unless the framework does the heavy lifting for you. As soon as you step outside of what the framework was designed to help with, you are lost and have no idea how to approach the problem. All your approaches are half-assed solutions. You see this every single day on "big teams".
DWARF-based stack walking using eBPF
(Tangential) How did you estimate the effort required in getting people to switch to EVs? Genuinely curious - I’ve been thinking lately about how much of the country seems to be ideologically resistant to any sort of progress.

It’s an interesting problem to me, once you fold in people’s behaviors.
I just started using Straight a few months ago, best improvement that I have experienced in 40 years of Emacs use. I will definitely try switching to built in support for package.el, as well as switch to eglot and other new built-in features. I prefer shorter Emacs config files.
I made the same pihole to NextDNS transition. My pihole worked well for 3 years or so. Well enough that I allowed it to become inaccessible without moving lots of furniture.

Then the SD card died. Instead of digging it out to fix it I tried NextDNS and found it works as good or better while also being less work. Well worth $20 to me.
"Gabriele Galimberti, who shot the teddy bear ad but had no involvement with the spring campaign, said in a statement on Instagram that he too was given no control over the creative content of his shoot, other than details like lighting and framing. The content — pairing child models with the teddy bear bag — had already been decided before he was hired, he said."

There is a valid lesson here for all professionals including us Software Engineers. The photographer has demonstrated something about his willingness to do something for money regardless of whether it's a 'good' idea.

Take a step back and decide do I want to be involved in this?

I have found Spring Boot to be a step forwards from the old Java EE world in basically every way except for this. Transactional boundaries are somehow more difficult to analyze.
I agree, up to a point. I feel that companies up to a few billion dollars in stable revenues in a non data intensive business don't need teams of Data Scientists, but would benefit from some people having Data Science skills (both Data Engineers and Business Analysts).
Oh nice. I knew about SNI but didn't realize there would be a perfectly persistent trail from that packet onward. If a site being shaped and a site not being shaped shared an edge server (say they both use Cloudflare or something) there's no chance that the TCP connection gets shared for both? Not disagreeing, just thinking out loud naively.
One option is to have charging speed limits based on state-of-charge.

Maybe charging after your daily driving only charges at 3 kW, but charging after a road trip does the full 11.5 kW.

But yeah, I've certainly come home from a road trip with 10% battery, plugged into my 11 kW home charger, and had it say it would take 5 hours to recharge to my 70% limit. If I was only charging at 2 kW, an overnight charge wouldn't get me very far the next day.
> But there’s also a part of me that’s just like, how can you not be curious? How can you write Python for 5 years of your life and never look at a bit of source code and try to understand how it works, why it was designed a certain way, and why a particular file in the repo is there? How can you fit a dozen regressions and not try to understand where those coefficients come from and the linear algebra behind it? I dunno, man.

Because there's a lot of things out there which are also interesting, and you don't have time to do all of them, so you choose. And different people choose differently.
I prefer privacy over anonymity, which is what Signal does best.

Only Signal leaves your message on their servers totally encrypted at-rest whose keys stays at your phone. No court order can ever hope to compel Signal what was said. The court will instead need one of the parties' phone for that, if it hasn't expire-deleted yet and doesn't have 9-alphanumeric characters or longer password length.

That cannot be said true of Telegram, WhatsApp, WeChat (that I've reversed engineered).
Well, that depends on what you mean by "fun!"

I'd like to make a distinction here between "fun" and "easy". For me, the best kind of fun is when I'm working on something really important to me. A better word might be "meaningful". Often, the work is really hard, and sometimes it's very frustrating! At those moments, if someone asked me if I was having "fun", I'd be hard-pressed to say yes, but still there is a kind of deep enjoyment that comes from it.

So I guess my suggestion would be to spend a few minutes figuring out exactly what you mean by fun. What are all the different elements that make it up? You mention "using different tools and languages", which would fall under "novelty". New things are typically a lot more stimulating than something we've been staring at for thousands of hours. (This is why travel is so refreshing!)

Programming definitely is work, whether you're doing it for money or for amusement. Communicating your ideas clearly to a computer is one of the most tedious possible kinds of human activity. But when it all comes together, it's also one of the most satisfying :)

The trick, I think, is to be moving in a direction (ie. a project or language) that is important to you. Then the work won't feel like such a drag. At the best of times, you will be making a tremendous effort, but it will feel effortless.
>If you wanted to answer the question "which is more boring, football(soccer) or baseball" you'd ask people their opinion, rather than call one of them more boring based on the complexity of the rules/playing field/number of players/etc.

Even many baseball fans would say baseball is more boring, as soccer is designed to be 90 minutes of pure action while baseball is designed to spend much of the time waiting for the next pitch. People can like the "boring" thing more.

Similarly, pinball was designed to be exciting with a bunch of fancy lights and sounds. Comparatively, early pong showed nothing but the two paddles and a ball and could make one sound. It was boring, people still loved it and sank thousands of hours in.
Where else would you get "voltage sink", "gate" (similarly German "Gatter" - gate, flip flop, switch).
Thanks!! I hadn’t seen this, will try it today.
Minifying the top websites on the internet to check for potential savings
At work, we've built a component library styling readily available headless components from Radix UI, Headless UI, Reach UI etc. with a customized Tailwind CSS preset.

We had to use `rtl:` directive only in one component, where we were animating translation property, of a switch toggle. `translation-x-` is RTL specific, so we've to apply negative translation if `dir="rtl"` has been set.

Otherwise, this symmetric-utilities-only approach worked really well across dropdowns, modals, tooltips, buttons, inputs etc., even when we integrated these components in different existing products across multiple teams.

I hope one day Tailwind CSS team release an update with underlying CSS for px-, mx-* being replaced with CSS logical operators for corresponding properties. Not sure where the browser support for the same is currently.
> In order to implement a game without a physics simulation, it requires that the game state (rather than the physical state) be modeled.

This is obviously wrong, unless you mean "sandbox" every time you say "physics".

For example, playingcards.io is a sandbox. It allows everyone to move cards around at any time, and players can use whatever rules they want. It has no physics simulation. Is this what you mean?

Well yes. Look at the increased mortality across the heavily vaccinated countries. German insurers are coming out saying there’s a non-COVID /non-standard “thing” that’s impacting people, in particular, males.
Sure, and you can do BYOIP with cloud providers or CDNs. But then those IPs are trivial to block, and although I've never tried it, I suspect AWS GA isn't set up to constantly rotate IP addresses.
That's the same for many tech jobs. Competence is often only a local thing, subject to politics, reputation, and appearances. There's also no ground truth because the ground changes so fast. No one knows if the technologies mentioned in the OP will be popular 5-10 years from now.
No, the dynamics can be generated just like the notes. Actual scores have markings for dynamics and midi provides 1-127 dynamic points.

Firefox on openbsd uses the emacs keybindings.

Yes, it causes stack overflow at runtime. Compilers warn for it, in particular clang has a warning that you can configure to pop up whenever the stack usage of a function goes beyond some limit you set - I think that setting it to 32k or 64k is a safe and sane default as e.g. macOS thread stack sizes are just 512kb
A surprising proportion of applicants, with plausible-looking CVs, cannot write code to calculate the mean of a bunch of numbers. They spend most of the interview on what is meant to be a 30-seconds-long relax, have a laugh and move on question.

I agree, another good meat alternative that has sufficient contrast in taste for me is fried Halloumi cheese.
Oh I'm one of them..but incredibly clear shorthand is helpful for these kinds of cases. Writing code like `const a = 5; b = a/2; c = a/b` is pretty nonsensical. but in tailwind these things have meanings: p = padding, m = margin, then you have left, right top, bottom, (l r t b) and then X and Y. (so pl- mx- pb-) That is all of them. At the rate you use them it is pretty clear I guess.
Agree on the backups piece, that should even be in the free plan as that much space is not likely to be expensive if they used cold storage.

Otoh, if you aren’t sending 1 request per week to an installation, it’s really not active at all. The overheard of supporting this niche is probably too much for a company that clearly is in ruthless prioritization mode.
It makes sense since most police departments are short staffed and things will only get worse in the future
Ask HN: 400% increase in GCP node preemption rate?
We use pre-emptible compute nodes in our beta GKE clusters to save on costs. Historically this has worked fine since our beta environment doesn't need to be incredible stable.

However, starting on the 16th we started seeing a 4x increase in the number of daily node preemption events. Pre-emptible nodes are being rebooted/recreated up to 10 times a day, sometimes several times in a 10-30 minute span.

I know there's no guarantees on pre-emptible nodes and thus the savings, but I'm curious if maybe there's something like a Black Friday resource allocation crunch that could be causing this.

For now we've upgraded to non-preemptible nodes so we can get work done. It does mean a 15% per-tenant cost increase though.
In addition, pfsense can run pfblockerng which can be used to block ads. It uses the same block lists as pi-hole and others.

In a way I find poetry much more similar to music than to literature in the effect it has and how I perceive it.
