Thanks for pointing out my error in reading the data sheet on how the max terminal currents are defined. I've corrected this in my post.

On the power, I get a maximum power dissipation through R(AW) and R(WB) of 130 mW at R(AW) = 432 Ohms and R(WB) = 5000 - R(AB) = 4586 Ohms. Work is on my post.

The meters don't work well below about 18 Volts. The needle just doesn't quite make it all the way to open. My theory is the current is too small at lower voltages to completely overcome the force of the spring that pulls the needle to the out-of-range position when powered off. If the internal 300 Ohm resistance of the meter could be changed easily, then a lower voltage could work.

And yep, a DAC or PWM with an op amp with some gain would certainly work. For a lot of my past meter projects where the voltages required were 5 Volts or less, I've gone the PWM route with great success.
Remember S1m0ne (2002)?

I loved my pyro developers! Loved both PMK and the really old school versions as well. And yes, those are nasty but as you say they are really rare. I also think the raw materials are much more dangerous than working solutions. PMK was heavily diluted to make a working solution.
There already is gate keeping though, and that gate is manned by corporate which, ironically, is how so much bloat can sneak in at your expense.

I am not fond of gates either; for as long as your skill can produce capital value it will be gatekept in some capacity. I'd rather see that gate moved closer to our side if it must exist.

The lead in those joints never touches liquid. It's a sealant on the back of the oakum, which is what does the actual water contacting.

Also, nearly all water supplies (municipal, at least) are pH adjusted to be slightly basic, which causes lead to form lead carbonates and oxides, which is (basically) insoluble in cold water. Still good policy to replace lead supply lines, but not a crisis unless you allow your water quality to fluctuate (ala Flint or a number of other US cities, sadly)

You might not like the methods (and in some cases, they are not legal), but I think that’s exactly what it does. Fear makes (some) people not want the union.

Firing pro-union employees also obviously directly reduces the number of employees who are pro-union.

Ask HN: Options for self-hosted media cataloguing tools?
I currently track my media through a variety of sites (e.g., Goodreads for books, Letterboxd for films). I want to:

a) move from these services to something self-hosted; and

b) combine all the various types of media into a single catalogue.

The only two self-hosted tools for this that I've found so far are Bookwyrm and Koillection. Bookwyrm has interesting social features through ActivityPub, but as far as I can tell it isn't extensible to media other than books. Koillection is content-agnostic, but doesn't come with any default media types (inconvenient) doesn't appear to have any sort of import function for the data I export from the sites I'm currently using (dealbreaker).

The key features I would like are:

• visually customisable;

• record notes for each item catalogued;

• automatically retrieves cover art; and

• provides CSV importing.

Can anyone suggest anything that would fulfil these? As far as I can tell, unless someone can suggest something I've overlooked my options are:

• whip up something basic myself (but I'm time-limited at the moment so would like to avoid this if possible);

• use Bookwrym and modify it to extend the Book object; or

• use Koillection and try to manually import my data directly into the database.
Flox's website was only opened up a few weeks ago, so it hasn't really factored into the development of MyNixOS. I haven't had the chance to test it yet, but I'd guess a few differences would be that Flox is targeting enterprise use with proprietary tooling + formats, with a larger focus on the command line interface, in order to guarantee the user experience to a larger degree. MyNixOS targets pure Nix flakes and the Nix command line tool, and focuses more on the website UX to lower the barrier for creating and sharing Nix flakes for beginners.

As the potential for the core Nix technology is so great, many different approaches and tools will be necessary to help discover and cover the different use-cases. Flox made a good impression at NixCon in Paris, and they seem to be doing a lot of good things to make the community solid.

I have never seen a blue whale yet I know they exist because others have seen them.

You obviously haven’t looked through code bases in other languages if you never seen these issues outside of python. Personally I have observed them in C, C++, Java, Haskell, R, Python, PHP, JavaScript , Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, Rust, heck even in lab view. And the same type of problems even translate to poorly developed excel sheets.

The only plausible explanation for you never having seen any such issues outside of python is that you have never looked.

This looks really cool, but at first glance it seems like you really need to already know how to create nix flakes and what all the settings mean to use the site. I didn't sign up, but I watched your redis video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fuCGXHw7qM) and it seems like you just knew all the configuration settings you wanted and searched for them.

Maybe that's fine for your target user, but I would think you could get non-nix folks on board if there was more of a "wizard" type flow that tells you the options and explains them as you go through it.
You may be discounting the numbers of former users who left long ago and don't have their previous login details? This would account for a fair number of new sign-ups.

Maybe someday AI art will solve the problem of everything these models generate having greebles.
It is an object-composition problem, and the AI _can’t usually handle those_.

The tail is also highly stylised, frequently taking up completely inorganic poses such as “jagged pikachu style shock/surprise line”.

One or the other of those might be manageable, at least by generating fifty pictures and picking the best. Both in combination means human input is absolutely necessary. Which doesn’t make the AI useless, by any means; it’s fully capable of acting as a collaborator.
> finding clients, invoicing, server maintenance, customer service, training, documentation, implementation consultants

Clients find me, not the other way around. Documentation and implementation are my own lines of work.

I have an accountant, tax advisor and lawyer as subscriptions. I also have a coworking pass. These cost me about 1.5% of my annual income.

Trainings are given for free in coops? I can't imagine myself or my friends working for free, are you forced to work for free in a coop? As in, would I be forced to give trainings too? I value my time too much for this. Of course I do the occasional free tech talk for my friends/the public, but that's not in any way comparable to a "full" training.

> If you are paying someone to do any of these jobs, you are doing it out of income that you've paid taxes on.

No. As a contractor, all of the above are my business expenses (also including conference passes, trainings/certifications, driving to/from the client, all my hardware I use to work etc). Companies and contractors pay tax on profit, not turnover.

> Also, some cooperative companies will only outsource work to other cooperative groups.

Yeah indeed there's a coop like that where I live. They pay like half of what I make to their top guys (I myself am not a top guy; they offered me even less). Not encouraging.

> Not to mention the camaraderie of working with people with similar goals in a noncompetitive environment where they value your success.

I have this at the coworking space - and we don't share any money so there's no chance of any bad feelings whatsoever. I have very bad experience with that, it ends friendships.
My feed is bare and I like it that way. I just unfollow any friend I have so they don't appear in my feed. I also unfollow groups I'm part of, but still visit the groups on my own terms. Facebook stores your most recent search and there's a small list of people/groups that I click on when I feel like it.

So groups is what keeps me on there.
As someone with lots of ties to homelessness, I've long observed how it had been an all of the above situation. Typically the two sliders of mental illness(inc drug addiction) & poverty keep getting nudged up until a tipping point is reached.

In the last two years however, new homeless entries are dominated by folks who suddenly got their poverty slider slammed hard. This includes renters with savings who had their home sold. They quickly found themselves in a bidding war for what few rentals were available.
Absolutely agree, it also solidified the habit to just cycle there.

There's zero indication that the GP as approaching this from the perspective of an aggrieved narcissistic parent. There are certainly some people who were actually "raised by narcissists," but the point is that it seems like a lot of people weren't use that concept as cover for validation and to air unrealistic complaints on social media.
I’m also curious if anyone knows how to deal with people who have this condition. Scientifically or anecdotally.
Thank you. I can say little more, but thank you.
Color neg has been incredibly hard to find all this year, and on top of Kodak's price increases last year, retailers were price gouging in relation to supply. Once I burned through my stockpile, I was basically just shooting B&W stock and digital for a while. It is interesting to see Fuji having supply issues now, though. I wonder if it's related to them cutting Pro400h and C200 previously.
> starting with the roadster's gearless transmission.

This is a great example of "Habits of Highly Overrated People".

The Tesla company started in 2003, but Elon Musk started in 2004 after the three founders looked for money. Later, Elon Musk sued Eberhard (the actual founder) to have the right to call himself a co-founder.

IE: Elon Musk, in reality with respect to the Roadster, hits #3, #4, #5, and #7 from the listed blogpost.

------

Elon's primary contribution was money. The actual founders of Tesla were Eberhard and Tarpenning, and those two seemed to be the technical leaders/brains behind the operations.

Now that we're 10+ years after their departure, Tesla can't make a Cybertruck in a reasonable timeframe. Instead, they get beaten to market by Ford, Rivian, and more.

A couple of things stuck out from the Harpers article - it's 50 below in winter in that area of cheap land in Colorado and you cannot leave your home unattended for any period of time or it will be ransacked. It's rugged living (compared to most Americans' lives) combined with a sort of self enforced stay at home isolation which can appeal to a segment of population that may have grown larger after our Covid experience, though I feel like the kids in that article would not have agreed with it.
It all gets more complicated when you want to pass more than one secret parameter, or the function already returns a Secret - now you need a monad. The key feature seems to be that the code does not need 'map' or anything, the secrecy flag is propagated regardless.
Thank you very much for all the praise.

Why Do People Collect Things? The Role of Loneliness
(Warning, politics!)

I worry more about current world leaders, like Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi Jinping. What's Putin going to do when it's clear he's loosing in Ukraine, and popular support within Russia? What's going to happen in North Korea or China when their leaders lose support?

Is Trump's tantrum about losing the 2020 election an example of Narcissistic Collapse?
Yeah, and now they save on heating also.

It seems like we're focusing way too much on just the very first example, instead of the feature list as a whole?

There are plenty of other interesting features, such as disallowing conditional branching on the contents of secrets, all the way down to enforcing Spectre and Meltdown mitigations around secrets without necessarily globally taking that performance hit on sensitive and non-sensitive data alike.
I've only had my account for 5 years, but I was on HN regularly for years before that. Honestly, I don't think it's changed much at all in that time.

I have another suggestion I just thought of.

When you click the ticker, the drop down menu shows you the last 4 stories. It would be nice if you could show a few more than 4, maybe make that a preference. I'd like that to be a lot longer.

Other than that, been using it the last 3 days, and I really like it so far!
I particularly hate the confusion that BSP and NPT cause. They're almost interchangeable (differing, iirc, probably on the angle of flank) and will get about three turns in and then leak or fail under pressure. In my world, this has led to graduate students spraying liquid nitrogen around. It's clearly the case that the two probably were supposed to be identical but diverted due to manufacturing differences in the distant past.

The standard advice I've been given when it comes to either vacuum or cryo fittings is "cut anything American off it as soon as it arrives and put DIN standard or KF kit on as soon as possible". Standards are a pain and that xkcd about there being too many of them is very, very true.

That's becoming increasingly less true of anywhere with a reasonable quality of life, or that has any kind of desirable or interesting nature. Wages outlying areas and smaller towns are also quite a bit less.
Yeah most definitely because of VM. I'm on Silverblue and on Security Level 1. Level 2 would require IOMMU.
So is there some canonical guide to running a docker compose style app on Mac m1 machines that has good filesystem performance? It seems like there’s many ways to approach the topic now so it’s hard to tell which one is “winning”.

I’d love to containerize all of my local development efforts (scripts and rails apps) but the slow ass filesystem always ruined it in the past.
Perhaps... But I would think that living with someone (even if not by choice for the first 18 years of your life) gives you a much deeper understanding than watching some celeb online and making snap judgements there.

And in my case, all my siblings have deemed that our mother is indeed a narcissist. We're all no-contact with her. We're not docs, so med diagnosis is off the table... But you can definitely be a narcissist without being diagnosed with NPD.
I am not honestly suggesting this as a solution to abuse - but I am certainly saying that imagine everyone's lives lived in a medically / psychologically supervised reality TV show - where the conversations and abuses and tonality and heart rates are logged and watchable - I mean basic crime becomes ridiculously hard to get away with - and mental issues might stand out like a sore thumb.

I am not advocating for this, I am pointing out the technology not only exists, but exists in every home. It's hard to imagine something along these lines not happening

Edit: I just want to be clear I am not trying to belittle or reject emotional abuse that goes on day in and out across all societies - nor suggesting that tech is some silver bullet for complex problems.
I had a doctor once who was quitting his solo practice and taking a regular job at a hospital, having become disillusioned with the biz. He said his house was bought by a plumber, who was trading up.

The logical conclusion IMHO is that we should all be using public transport. And if we don’t find that appealing we should consider it a public administration failure. No one should need a car. I’d take it that it might be necessary for rural areas but definitely not in a city.

> Getting rid of underperformers in regular private sector roles in the UK isn't really that bad; certainly closer to Germany than the US, but on the whole about right <...> Public sector is another matter

The uk has practically no employment rights when you have less than 2 years service. One of the (many) articles on the subject [0]. The employment rights in the public sector are similar, with most of the "unfireable" aspect being people who have been there long enough that it's easier to move them around than it is to get rid of them. The civil service in the UK has an unreasonably long probationary period (9 months) which if people actually cared about removing unproductive employees could be much better applied.

I'd suggest giving the back story to Agent to the Stars by John Scalzi a glance.

http://www.scalzi.com/agent/

> In the summer of 1997, I was 28 years old, and I decided that after years of thinking about writing a novel, I was simply going to go ahead and write one. There were two motivations for doing so. First, I was simply curious if I could; I'd had up to that time a reasonably successful life as a writer, but I'd never written anything longer than ten pages in my life outside of a classroom setting. Two, my ten-year high school reunion was coming up, and I wanted to be able to say I'd finished a novel just in case anyone asked (they didn't, the bastards).

> In sitting down to write the novel, I decided to make it easy on myself. I decided first that I wasn't going to try to write something near and dear to my heart, just a fun story. That way, if I screwed it up (which was a real possibility), it wasn't like I was screwing up the One Story That Mattered To Me. I decided also that the goal of writing the novel was the actual writing of it -- not the selling of it, which is usually the goal of a novelist. I didn't want to worry about whether it was good enough to sell; I just wanted to have the experience of writing a story over the length of a novel, and see what I thought about it. Not every writer is a novelist; I wanted to see if I was.
>Does it matter that they’re working with an AI instead of moving keyframes around?

I kind of suspect heroku is still making money for salesforce. But I haven't run a business like that before, so I'm just kind of wild-ass speculating that based on the prices they charged as premiums on top of AWS infrastructure, and the fact that lately they haven't been doing a lot of new features but mostly just keeping the lights on (which granted is not free!), and that at least at some point plenty of enterprises with major spends were on heroku...

But maybe not? Maybe the customer base has been shrinking, especially major spend enterprises?

For whatever reason, it seems like salesforce decided to stop treating it as a growth business, and start treating it private equity-style, figure out how to minimize expenses to increase profit, period. But it is I think conceivable they'd try to do that with a profitable business? The end result will probably be shrinking and eventual dying of the business either way... but maybe they don't mind if they wring out maximum profit with minimum investment for 5-10 years (which began some years ago already) first.
When someone is this confident, and they get anything about their prediction substantively wrong, you should question anything else they say with confidence in the future. So, on the off chance this gentleman's prediction is wrong, we should question his fundamental methodology and distrust by default any predictions he makes after this. It should be easy to test, because he provided a year, and outlined how the process would unfold. We could check back in late 2027, though I reckon we'd have a pretty good idea long before then.
If you had 25 days of PTO per year before, I would view having 20 days per year as the equivalent, but others will no doubt disagree.
