SMS is a much bigger issue if you are in another country, temporarily lose access to your phone, or work in a building without phone reception. It's prone to SIM swaps and could be intercepted by other apps on your phone. It requires having a fixed, serviced phone number, which people don't always have: children, homeless people and recent immigrants might struggle with that.

All of these scenarios happened to me, and I'm a fairly normal person.
I think the author would probably be fine with an if-not. It doesn't hide the double negation like unless.

If you follow the money it makes perfect sense. After all, after converting to your 'internal stable coin' you can claim you have the reserves and you're free to spend the original coins in the real world. Right up to the moment that everybody wants their money back and it turns out that your stable coin was worthless.

How to Build a Command-Line Text Editor with Java – Series
The parasocial nature of it is a bit concerning and (to me) deeply weird.

I went to a presentation by a couple of streamers at an event a few months ago, aimed at people wanting to learn a little more about it or get into it themselves. They referred to the people in the chat as 'chat' but warned never to use that word in the stream, instead have a cute name for it. One always called them her "besties" which helps give the impression they are friends. But they aren't, they're the audience, they're people she doesn't know and doesn't want to, and they're the income source either directly or through being paid to promote stuff to them.

I came away feeling the whole thing was weirdly dirty.

I know that there are a lot of streamers who aren't in it for the money, who hang out and watch each other's streams for fun and game together on the side. That's by nature going to have a very limited audience and that's fine, often these folks do know eachc other and it's genuinely social. And I know there are the superstars who people watch like tv because they make entertaining content. But there seems to be this middle ground of para-social streaming that's not quite either of those other things and just feels wrong.
Journalism at its best. They just forgot to tell how they found out.

Unfortunately so far these are underwhelming. Hope AMD figures out a fix for the very high idle (>100 W) consumption when more than one monitor is connected (idle with a single monitor is also bad, but not quite as egregious). In terms of performance they're good, but the much lower efficiency (20-50 % lower) compared to NV Ada suggests to me that AMD aimed for a lower performance level and had to bump performance up on short notice. The high power draw through the slot, which GPUs generally avoid nowadays for a number of reasons, also seems to suggest this - AMD is clearly trying to get every single Watt into the card they can. Non-reference cards more or less all have three eight pin power connectors - I'd go so far as to say the two connectors on the reference cards are basically marketing to seem more efficient.

Though even with European electricity prices, the generally higher (real world) power consumption of these doesn't make the (more expensive) 4080 a better deal. Maybe if prices cross over the 1 buck/kWh threshold. Never say never!

The smart move is to wait a couple months and see if AMD can fix the bigger issues with these cards through drivers and only buy one of these if they do.

I find the whole BIP movement somewhere between cringe and naive. Also, while it might be a cheap way to promote your product (Though I doubt the audience will also be your customers), it's the equivalent of the reason why someone works out — Do I want to impress the other guys, or am I doing it for health benefits?
Dreams always change if you pay attention to them. Focusing on dreams by nature changes/develops your consciousness. So that you can’t attribute these changes to outer conditions.

Sorkin threw softballs at SBF again and again, accepted answers given without an iota of concern about the bold lies spewed back, profusely thanked SBF for being so generous with his time over and over again as if it's the NYT that somehow stole billions and tried to lie and get away with it.
Perhaps a Python style spelt-out `not` for boolean negation would have been a better solution for this than `unless` in deep retrospect?

You mean, starting from the journalists writing the articles?
ChatGPT doesn't really provide answers for you. It provides a random most likely output, from your input text. It's primed to be neutral, but your input can prime it either way on most topics.

Alot of the output is factually wrong due to randomness and approximations from internal weights.

Wether it's possible to make it neutral is also up for debate. But you get some convincing sounding gibberish based on your input. That text need to be factually checked.
In theory, this is related to their recent automated BUSD <-> USDC conversion program. They started treating the two as fungible, and so have split reserves between the two (likely BUSD for the most part). If your reserves of USDC get drained faster than you can replenish, then you can't withdraw more USDC (even though it's backed since you have a BUSD waiting to convert).

Such a system runs along just fine, until suddenly there's huge USDC withdrawal pressure over the weekend, you can't get dollars from the bank BUSD uses to the bank USDC uses, and the USDC reserve goes empty. Wait for banks to get back into business and everything is super fine.

From the outside the above situation and a true insolvency look quite similar. It should be possible to inspect their BUSD balances on chain though?

Ruby is basically Perl++
My OBS recordings (of mostly game footage) come out to between 1 and 1.5 GiB/hour for 1080p resolution. Given that simple external HDDs start at about 20€ for 500 GiB, that comes out to 6 cents of storage per hour recorded. Your power bill for the gaming PC is going to be higher than that in some places.
Al Strobel (aka Mike) also passed away a couple of weeks ago.
In the early 2010s, the industry was dominated by mature and stable ecosystems, such as Python/Django and Rails. Then Node came about, and when it was still extremely immature, it got a ton of attention as an army of front-end devs started to flock to it. "We are backend engineers now too!".

Doesn't work that way. Node has been basically re-learning all the lessons learned a long time ago, and many lessons it didn't learn at all. The fact that the FAANG alumni then joined the orgy and reminded us that we are all lame because we really need to be doing distributed systems for everything (for the young ones - microservices), did not make things simpler.

Leave a JS project unattended for a few weeks and I go back to it with a sense of dread. What horrors await me?

SMS 2FA is just a terrible idea. I advise anyone to use something like TOTP but also to store the TOTP seed as well as recovery codes in e.g. a KeePass database.

You may use a different database than the one with the rest of your passwords. Sync these databases with something like Syncthing, which is completely controlled by you, can do untrusted encrypted nodes and can not only sync but also take occasional backups for you.

Also don't forget to put the master password of your KeePass databases into someone elses database. Someone you trust in person, e.g. a family member.

It may be a quite complicated setup, but once its set up, it works and not much effort to maintain it is required. If you get a new device simply add a new syncthing node.

The only reliable solution to this that I have found is compiling an app into a docker container and ensuring my projects are able to run off a SQLite database.

Ask HN: Eliminating those annoying “Accept / Reject” banners on websites
How can I set up my browser so that I only need to specify my preferences for cookie banners once, and all future cookie banners will be automatically configured according to my preferences?

Surely this has been done / or is being worked on.

It seems so disparate at the moment - some websites are an overall accept whilst some drill down.

Can we not have this structured in a way that allows an overall preference be applied to any website the user visits.

Performance is great, but the comparisons are missing the 40x0 cards, unfortunately. Benchmarks under Windows show the XTX matching the 4080 at a lower price. I'm still quite unhappy about the $1000 MSRP for the XTX though.
Good point.

In fact, since the end product (desalinated water) is easy to store in great amounts, desalination could be one of the processes that would run when surplus energy is available.

With current prices for renewable generation and storage, an overcapacity in production of 300-500% seems to be the optimal from a system cost perspective: In such a world, lots of surplus energy would be available at low cost for a flexible consumer such as this.
Remember that DM is still there for you even if you use btrfs.

Every discussion about btrfs immediately escalates to how the btrfs RAID support develops. But btrfs is useful on its own without that mode.

Should you wish to put a btrfs file system on software RAID (DM), you can still do that. The btrfs RAID modes are something else, where you cut the DM driver out of the picture. That's not going to be as well tested as plain old DM, even if it works, and it doesn't offer any functionality beyond plain DM RAID.

If the use case is storing real data, you want the data storage layer to be as well tested as possible. There's also more to software RAID than the block device. You want a mature resilvering daemon on a well tested schedule, and you need working monitoring to alert you of issues. RAID without monitoring will only delay the inevitable.

Since 2011, up to half of Perth's drinking water in Western Australia has come from desalination (https://www.watercorporation.com.au/Our-water/Desalination).

They setup solar and wind farms at the time to offset the energy required and to my knowledge there's never been any environmental issues with the brine discharge.

They also recycle water here by treating wastewater and pumping it into the ground water where it blends in with water in the aquifer - some of which is later extracted. They pump into the aquifer rather than directly into the water supply because people had an "ick factor" about drinking treated wastewater regardless of how filtered it is.
Yes I sat in on a meeting where one of our customers talked about the big fans in building air movers and how inefficient the cheap pressed metal fans are. But you don't want to spend shit loads of money on a big fancy shaped more efficient one either. New materials and techniquies allow this compromise to be reduced.

I'm not in the industry I was just there to turn stuff off and on.

From redactle-unlimited.com's About modal:

About

Redactle Unlimited was inspired by the original game at redactle.com which was inspired by Wordle. A random Wikipedia article is displayed with important words redacted (hence the original name Redactle). Redactle Unlimited has many useful features: multiplayer, smart guessing to match plurals and inflections (lemmatization), annotations and of course no daily game limit.

So, GP's game is a more feature-rich version of the original sitting at redactle.com if I understood correctly.

Are you saying that complex software getting bug fixes is an indication of something? I don't see how it's a bad thing that btrfs has been squashing bugs and corner cases.
I also find intellij idea (and friends) too heavy. I am using it only when developing java or kotlin because the experience is much better than anything else, despite the slowness.

For anything else (python, js, elixir) I use VSCode with a careful selection of plugins. It works very nice even on my Thinkpad T420.

I agree with the people that said that if you install a lot of plugins (lsp etc) on a bare bones editor it will feel very slow; I had exactly this experience using vim on Windows: Using it as a text editor with only a few plugins (fzf etc) was great but when I started using is more like an IDE the experience wasn't that good anymore resulting in choosing VSCode instead.
I feel like Vim has more plugins than VSCode

Then they come up to me and say, 'I was surprised by this feature of the language, so Ruby violates the principle of least surprise.' Wait. Wait. The principle of least surprise is not for you only. The principle of least surprise means principle of least my surprise. And it means the principle of least surprise after you learn Ruby very well. For example, I was a C++ programmer before I started designing Ruby. I programmed in C++ exclusively for two or three years. And after two years of C++ programming, it still surprises me.
