Weird. I thought it was already banned. GCP support actually alert you when you have a cryptominer because it violates ToS, which is beneficial when you have users deploying stuff that gets compromised by cryptobots (e.g.: bad ssh password or docker api exposed to the net).

Why has even HN comment field lowered to nothing but blind hate? Say what you want but the man has reformed rocket technology and jumpstarted the world's shift to electrical vehicles, both against all odds. Hate-takes like this are silly.
Why even buy from that manufacturer then?
Their latest stacking GPU patents show the way: Stack the cache under the CPU, not above it. The cache chips themselves do not produce much heat (as a process optimized for cache will be very low leakage, and only small areas of the cache are actively switching at any given moment), the problem with current stacked products is that the cache is between the active die and the heatsink.

The reason they didn't do it in the right order to start with is that the top die cannot be designed to work both with and without the cache. They can only start stacking the cache below the cpu once they accept that every single product will have a stacked cache.
If mentioning dang doesn't work, why did it work? :)
We need legislation/conventions/culture of opensourcing server software if a game/service is abandoned, to easily self-host or if a third party platform wants to take over stewardship of hosting a specific service. Just update a url in your game config to point to the new provider/server.

You need to turn off learning mode, otherwise it eventually overrides your schedule.

Personally I think it's significantly better than what was common ( in the UK ) before, but the tech is dime a dozen, and new houses should probably come with underfloor, and control per room, though most still don't.
I usually never upvote threads, the same way I forfeit my political right to vote. Maybe it's just autism, but I don't understand why anyone goes voting -do normal people think their vote makes a difference? My one vote will not decide what's on the frontpage and what's not. To be precise: I only see it because it's on the frontpage already and I feel to busy for sifting through new.

Actually, I do not believe the frontpage is organic at all. Sometimes you see uninteresting crap with zero comments entering the frontpage, leaving it with... zero or just a few comments.

I do sometimes upvote high quality comments and I try to actively downvote and flag spam, which is rare. And I generally upvote people responding to me (unless it's a negative response, which gets a downvote) to encourage giving me responses, as I like to engage.
Exactly! I would also add emergency breaking at low speeds so that pedestrian stepping in front of the car from nowhere can be spared. There is no need for real self driving, it wouldn’t really change anything and we are not even close to that.
The challenge with supersonic flight is that you not only have to build engines that are capable of pushing your aircraft to the maximum limits of speed, but also it has to be able to carry a proportionate amount of fuel for it to be viable for flight. Supersonic aircraft consume fuel at a much higher rate than normal aircraft, hence you are forced to make a tradeoff between higher aircraft capacity and higher fuel capacity. This is not a problem for current military applications of supersonic flight, but for commercial purposes, it makes it financially unviable. You can only sell a limited number of tickets, which makes the proposition unattractive for large carriers. Thus your market would be limited to niche carriers/charters who cater to carrying a few UNHWs and execs, which in the grand scheme of things isn't a large enough market to recoup your investment.

Not to mention, Boom hasn't innovated in any way to solve the two key issues here - they aren't using a significantly lighter fuel to compensate for the tradeoff, nor have they radically changed the engine design to consume less fuel at supersonic speeds. If they did, they would be touting that instead rather than hiding behind a proprietary "superfuel".
For microcontrollers, tinyusb seems to be the place to be. It supports a lot of architectures. The Pico RP2040 has tinyusb as part of its SDK. I've actually got something working, and I was toying with the idea of making the Pico controllable over USB. Once you can peek and poke memory addresses on the Pico, the world's your oyster.

Tinyusb seems quite flexible. You can write anything. It seems to have quite a bit of "canned" functionality, too, so if you wanted to write a keyboard host, for example, it's a case of trying to work through one of the demos and adapting it to your needs.

The problem with USB is that there is a lot of assumed knowledge as to how it all works. I only started playing with it recently, and it feels like being parachuted into enemy territory without a map. I wrote some of the basic here:

Solar is Fusion .. and already available in direct light, indirect wind, and totals some 173,000 terawatts continuously reaching earth, or some 10,000x current total energy use.

SnapRAID has its drawbacks, sure. As with any technology, deciding to use one solution over another is a balancing act of choosing the set of drawbacks that are acceptable for a particular use case.

In this case, _for my simple needs_ of running a home NAS, the fact SnapRAID doesn't run in real-time is not an issue. In fact, I prefer being in control of when it runs, and what it's doing exactly. Having a short time window where some new data is not replicated is a negligible drawback to me.

OTOH, while ZFS solves this particular issue, its drawbacks of being difficult to scale, and a huge black box that claims to "just work", when in fact my _entire_ array relies on it working perfectly, 100% of the time, are a tough pill to swallow. I'm sure that with the years of dedicated improvements and stability fixes, it's a battle-tested system where the likelihood of it failing is close to 0, even on Linux. But the fact that it's theoretically possible is a deal-breaker to me. In this sense, I much prefer SnapRAID's approach that makes this literally impossible. SnapRAID could stop working entirely or disappear tomorrow, and all my data is perfectly safe.

So, yes, SnapRAID + ext4 is radically simpler than ZFS, IMO.

Would I recommend this setup in a corporate environment, where company resources are on the line? Probably not. But I would still advocate against ZFS and mdadm, and probably suggest something like Ceph instead.

I've been following this community [0] which has unofficially relaunched a Korean online game which originally only lasted from 2003 to 2007 [1] and I played when I was a kid. It's amazing to be able to login into the same UI/UX and play the same game almost 15 years later.

It adds latency. You have to probe all the earlier levels of the cache before you can access the next one, if you want the caches to help with bandwidth. The cost of probing more levels adds up.
Not any more bizarre than how many people have come here just to vent off steam from reading so much Musk-hate online. Neither is providing any value to the discussion.
If they opensource the older server code, someone else can build a new compatible version with say, golang or rust, that can end up leaner & faster but also a bit more secure as it can be updated.
Deno: Fast zero copy string arguments
I'm an Estonian, and live in Estonia, but have a Wyoming LLC (USA company), and currently am contracting for a Finnish company. So far nobody has cared that I have a U.S company, and with Wise (formerly Transferwise) you can easily get an EU IBAN for a USA company as well. Reason for me doing this as opposed to a Estonian company was taxes. As a non-resident company owner in USA, with no office or employees there, I owe no tax to USA, so I really only have to pay income tax based on where I am - which for Estonia is 20%.

I do not contract for local companies in Estonia however. They always expect me to become a local employee, which is not in my interest, and there also aren't any Clojure opportunities here, which I specialize in. However contracting for foreign companies has never been an issue because being a contractor is assumed if applying from a foreign country, at least for Clojure developers.

It's not even an option in most of the developed world, it's equivalent to property expropriation.
> Germany has a greater supply of munitions; iron, gasoline, food and other essentials are more than adequate, he declared

I believe he was either bluffing or fooling himself on the gasoline point. Or had they captured sufficient reserves to make this a true statement?

> "I asked from Poland something no other German statesman could have dared. I asked for the return of the old German provinces, then only with a plebiscite. If Churchill and the warmongers felt half the responsibility toward Europe that I did they never would have started the war.

...

After alleging that the Germans had obtained possession of documents proving the "machinations of the warmongers" aimed at the spread of war...

It seems strange that Putin should be claiming he is running an Anti-fascist[0] Special Military Operation when he is channeling (if yet more hypocritically) Hitler himself.

[0] I skimmed the stadium rally; this was a serious talking point! If they could've, Pavlichenko and Tsoi would've been spinning in their graves. In retrospect, PropAnal could've flagged https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuPX8mjeb-E as psychological preparation for Operation Z.
There are some more expensive options that don't have this 'feature'. Look for Zigbee or Z-Wave. Here's a comparison page:

https://www.security.org/home-security-systems/z-wave-vs-zig...

That being said, I do have some 'cloud' IoT devices too, most of which were purchased because they were:

A) Cheap

B) Made by large companies

C) that weren't Google

This makes me _reasonably_ comfortable that the device and service will likely run for a while. I have some WeMo plugs that work great, and I also bought some second-hand Amazon plugs for $5/pp at a thrift store.

I want to get some z-wave light switches and scene controllers and make the actual light outlets smart, rather than putting the intelligence into the bulbs themselves. Unless you're going to be using the RGB abilities, putting the intelligence into the disposable part doesn't make a bunch of sense to me.

To arrange it all, I use Home Assistant, which I don't love, but it's just the best of the open source solutions available.
Ohhhhh I miss those days.

If the HTTP request that htmx has made returns a status code >= 400 or times out then the response will not be swapped into the body.

There are several events that htmx fires, once of which can catch `responseError` [1] and you can write some Javascript to handle it according to your requirements (throw a toast, swap anyway by setting `evt.detail.shouldSwap = true`.

In a project I'm working on we use htmx to load the content for modals, so we have small handlers on htmx events to display the modal whilst the request is being made, put a spinner indicator in the modal body to show the user something is happening and then swap the body in once the request has completed.

We've also used `HX-Trigger` response header [2] which htmx helpfully catches and allows us to easily hook onto, we've got ones to display a toast notification, hide open modals, refresh content divs, untick bulk action checkboxes, etc.

All in, our project probably has around 200 lines of Javascript for the different event handlers we do, so it doesn't eliminate the need to write any JS, but it's significantly reduced and is pretty much all event handlers.

Agreed, and the other thing to keep in mind is that he leaked all this stuff because of a personal grievance, not to expose any sort of wrongdoing.

Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning had similarly corrupt motives, despite popular but misguided opinion that they are noble whistleblowers of government evil.

> "National Socialism wanted to free Germany from Versailles as well as from the chains of the Demo-Plutocratic system.

Googling doesn't seem to return much for "demo-plutocratic", is there a more precise german word for what he was attacking here?

Wikipedia suggests plutocracy was a common insult against both the UK and Jews (as 'The World Plutocracy')

> Capitalism was also attacked as morally inferior to German values[3] and as failing to provide for the German people.[3] Great Britain was attacked as a plutocracy. A few months after the invasion of Poland, Goebbels released his "England’s Guilt" speech that blamed the war on Imperial Britain's "capitalist democracy" and warmongers, denouncing England for having the richest men on earth while their people get little of this wealth.[107] In that speech, Goebbels claimed that "English capitalists want to destroy Hitlerism" in order to retain its imperial status and harmful economic policies.

> This was portrayed as Jewish, so as to attack both Communism and plutocracy, describing Jews as being behind both.[49] Anti-capitalist propaganda, attacking "interest slavery", used the association of Jews with money-lenders.[11]

> Nazi propaganda and officials such as Robert Ley describe Germany as a "proletarian nation"[108] as opposed to the plutocratic England, a political divide that Goebbels described as "England is a capitalist democracy" and "Germany is a socialist people's state."[109]

> Initially the Nazis wanted to have alliance with United Kingdom, however after the war started they were denounced as "the Jew among the Aryan peoples" and as plutocrats, fighting for money.[110] Another major theme was the difference between British "plutocracy" and Nazi Germany. German newspapers and newsreels often pictured photos and footage of British unemployed and slums together with unfavorable commentary about the differences in living standards of the working class of Nazi Germany vs that of the working class living under British "plutocracy". Simultaneously, propaganda presented them as tools of the Communists. A German parody stamp, of one depicting King George and Queen Elizabeth, replaced the queen with Stalin and added a hammer and sickle, and stars of David. The Parole der Woche's weekly wall newspaper declared that the United States and Britain had agreed to let Stalin take Europe.[111] Using propaganda to present the Jews as being behind both helped juggle the issues of opposing "plutocracy" and Communism at once.[112]

After the invasion of the Soviet Union, propaganda resumed, quickly linking the attack with British forces, which simplified the task of attacking both Communism and "plutocracy" at once.[49]
Depends on the EULA.
Part of what makes HN much better than other online forums is getting deep into comments that challenge opinions on something. Only upvoting things you agree with can lead to a mono-culture like you see in many sub-reddits where opposing views are frequently silenced.

You should re-think your downvote on comments you disagree with. I only downvote comments that don't add to a discussion (or are offensive or stuff like that).
Getting customers from abroad is tough in my experience as well. Have been doing contracting with a Swedish private limited company (AB) for soon ten years. Had many interviews for foreign companies, most within EU, but I have always fallen short, despite that it should be really easy to employ. Within Sweden, though, I have never had an interview that did not lead to an offer, so the national borders really matter in my view. To me, the reason(s) is/are unknown.
i hope so too, i have a $25k degree in MLIS that promised me a fruitful career. now i teach arts & crafts too Wall Street fuck kids.

all that aside, i taught myself to program, because i could read the writing on the wall in that career. that was a wash too. now i have to compete with AI?! one day? i'm done. i'd rather commit suicide than have to keep chasing a nowhere goal.

With that approach you'll also have to do the same for rice, wheat, salt, butter, milk, carbonated water, etc. Basically every ingredients we daily use, like the ones currently classified as Generally Safe in the US [0]

I'm not sure any country is ready to go through requalification through long and extensive health trials of every single food product they've been using litteraly centuries. That's a crazy monumental effort (there is no consensus on food that doesn't need any moderation, so yes, it becomes a all or nothing issue)

Its strange that Unreal Tournament was kind of abandoned by Epic. It was such a great game in every way- so far ahead of its time. Even today Unreal Engine is probably the best off the shelf 3D game engine available.

I am surprised that they dont make more of the franchise. If they repackaged UT2004 with the new engine (UT2023) I would play the hell out of it.

You can’t really concentrate for long times, and as it has been shown many times, people are bad at expecting rare events. Reasonably reliable is not enough.
I'd actually say that working with the most popular stack could be the reason you don't get many opportunities - because you have so much competition. I work with Clojure and 8 out 10 CV's I send result in interviews, and I've never looked for a job more than a few weeks tops, simply because there isn't a lot of competition. I'm from Estonia.

I think you'll find more pedophiles in the public school system than the home. Biological fathers have very low incidence rates of child molestation and households have limited numbers of people in them. On the other hand you have a building where it is known that lots of children attend daily and is full of people who self selected for whatever reason to be around someone elses kids all day.

My high school pulled two pedophiles out over the last three years alone. During my time there I witnessed a lot of behavior that went right up against the line of what is acceptable by people in adult hindsight probably shouldn't have had access to children.
