You could configure crond to invoke it for you. Debian already has a cron.hourly facility for that rhythm.
I can't agree with any of these points.

1. You don't know which exceptions will be raised in advance. Anything that involves IO can fail in a plethora of ways, and you don't even know which calls involve IO (e.g. a library might choose to cache something on disk).

Not sure how this relates to the code design decision

2. Consumers of your code will not know how to deal with those exceptions.

Not sure the point here but if the argument is that the caller won't know how to deal with the third party exception, I disagree. Typically it just needs to return a single exception type that wraps any underlying cause. Caller can just either decide to deal with it or rethrow.

3. Most of exceptions are unrecoverable (that's why they are called exceptions), the best course of action is to crash, which happens by default.

If the database is unresponsive do you want to crash your program? I wouldn't. I'll usually retry until its available.

4. You debug those exceptions by looking at stack trace. Adding extra levels just to give a fancy meaningless name to an exception does not help.

Really don't think an extra trace in the stack is a reason to not create a well defined contract.

5. The whole point of exceptions is to propagate. Parthenon essentially suggests converting exceptions into return values.

I didn't see anywhere in the doc where they mentioned converting exception into return values. Wrapped exceptions are still exceptions.
The single best episode for me was this:

Climate Change Debate: Bjørn Lomborg and Andrew Revkin | Lex Fridman Podcast #339

Getting climate change out of the framing of "if we don't stop all CO2 emissions by 2030 we're going to roast the world" and into "yes, it's important, and we need to deal with it, in a reasonable manner" was quite a relief.

Show HN: A new word game with a travel theme
This is an independently created word game our family has been working on for a few years. It has uses a license plate motif for word puzzles where the quality of the answers drive a virtual travel experience.

The game is web-based, works in all browsers, is fully responsive for mobile screen sizes and also works as a Progressive Web App (PWA). It is written in Django/Python and a modicum of Javascript.

Yeah `impl TcpStream`

Might just be lack of familiarity with telnet, but wouldn't this be fairly easy to do `impl TcpStream`? In other words, why not just add this into espflash?
Sorry dude, it says exactly the opposite of what you wrote.
When people tolerate wasting time in heavy traffic (which they do, since they choose to participate next day as well), wasted time in gas station is probably nothing for them.
There was a story last week about commercial solar farms having panel flat on the ground and some people posted about putting home solar setups flat (or slightly elevated with a brick and tied down).

Saving money with the setup beats getting the last percent out of the install. Although probably only some rural home-owners are going to be able/allowed to just put the panels flat on the ground.

You forgot to mention UX. SEPA payments have horrible user experience. The "modern" way of receiving money in automated manner in Europe and using SEPA is through payment providers. On checkout, customers get redirected to payment providers with strange startup names they've never heard about to initiate a transaction, and then redirected to their bank to log in and approve the initiated transaction. This is basically training people to accept phishing and MITM attacks.

Checkout via Paypal or debit/credit cards is much more straightforward and user-friendly, which is why they are still widely used (along with local services like Swish). A crypto wallet app that just requires scanning a QR code is even better, and miles ahead of anything SEPA/PSD2 offers in terms of user experience.

Currently not open source but I long have been thinking about open sourcing it.

What's wrong with using GH community features?

It's a side / passion project so no time or budget to build any support or community stuff. I considered GitHub, Reddit and Discord and all have pros/cons.
You are right. The algorithm you described is very similar to this XOR one. However, I did some benchmarks[0] and non-XOR version was 40% slower to XOR version when compiled with target-cpu=native. Unfortunately, without `target-cpu=native` the xor version was 40% slower and plain old arrays won!

If you read the article you'll also find the owners were specifically aware that these units are special in that they upload all data - commercial devices do not share any images or video without the users consent [0].

It's also absurd to think they didn't face safeguards. We can only speculate if the individual was fired, or if stronger policies were put in place since 2020, but it's naive to expect that whatever policy is put in place will stop a human data labeler from smuggling PPI for personal reasons.

Tidal was basically a music streaming platform made by the music industry itself to have some leverage in negotiations with Spotify / Alphabet / Apple / Amazon.

It's since evolved into something else, but it's not surprising that Tidal can get some unique deals due to its close industry ties.

But better yet you might want to make sure there is an abstraction layer so people can plug stuff in.

Only $40M was returned to the investors. Pradeep lead the D round with a 5x liquidity preference and took $150M off the top. The company was seriously sinking so investing his own money saved them until MSFT bought what was left. MSFT is rewarding those employees who get job offers.
This is one of those messy issues that seems to have no clear cut answer that doesn't involve everyone being perfect or psychic.

How do you balance the lives of people? The lives of the guilty, the innocent, and the police themselves all have value.

How do you encourage someone who is sitting in the moment, being asked to weight those lives in an instant, to make the correct choice? The only thing I can think of is careful screening and training. Something many police lack greatly.

Only the rarity of these situations really makes the current situation vaguely tolerable.
There are still music stores, nothing is stopping you from buying music like we did before Napster let the cat out of the bag. People are allowed to have different utility functions and preferences, sorry yours seems to be going out of fashion.
Yeah, I agree. I could imagine ways out of this, but none that I think Musk is capable of sustaining. He can certainly try to hire a CEO, but is there anyone who would take it that wouldn't just be a toady to him? And if he does place a minion as CEO, then I think he'll keep getting drawn back into the drama.

Maybe the Saudis could keep him in line here? They take on more of the cost and insist that he stay away? His behavior with regards to China suggests that Musk is capable of shutting up when he has to. But more Saudi involvement would invite all sorts of public and regulatory scrutiny, given their behavior: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/15/politics/ahmad-abouammo-sente...

There are better bets out there against inflation. Dollar is “down” 8% because of inflation but BTC is down 65%..
Just buy gold if you want a hedge that is not correlated with the general stock market. Crypto is just a proxy for tech stocks

Errr, no. One dollar one vote is not equal footing. If you have more dollars you can buy more votes. That's the opposite of egalitarian.

Not a "straw man". It's one step back in history from YOUR example of the Deutsche Mark!

Again, the broader point is that measuring a "failure" as a total collapse vs. a replacement with a possible devaluation is the strawman.

Abrupt "failures" (or "replacements"... choose your euphemism) are noticed, but modern fiat currencies are constantly failing. It is easy to measure. The metric is currency debasement, what you would call "inflation" and what I would call "state sanctioned counterfeiting".
> Court in america is pretty much expensive on purpose, as a way to give only rich people more access.

If your problem is not worth spending $40 [1] then it's also probably not worth having a Judge, Court Recorder, and 2+ people's time.

Actually, most require both parties agree on the arbitrator.

In fact, everything in this comment is wrong.
You should go read JAMS or AAA rules (which have existed and been reasonable well before any of the current irrational hate for anything but court)

Court is not expensive on purpose. It's expensive because super long, involved, processes that involve tons of formal interviews, depositions, document production, and document review, is just not cheap to run or do.

It's also unnecessary to reasonable outcomes the vast majority of the time, which is why ADR methods exist.
This is also an accessibility barrier for the blind. (To be fair, ADA regulations now require games to include text-to-speech and speech-to-text support for in-game chat to mitigate it.)

Storing energy for the winter will only be a problem at the very end of phasing out fossil fuels. At some point some gas plants may only run during the winter. But there are also biofuels for example.

And there are for example solutions around pumping water into a lake. That sounds like it will work long-term. You make an abysmal job argueing for nuclear power just because not everything works perfectly already. Scaling up nuclear power to the scale required to replace fossil fuels would take decades. Unless the risks are ignored and enhanced extremely, like you seem to be proposing. But there is zero political appetite in the electorates of the world to invest billions into a technology that takes decades to come to fruition, takes more decades to recuperate the investment and can literally blow up in your face any time, especially when some neighbor is angry at you.

I honestly wish the audio quality was better for meetings. The headset I use and listen to other people use sound pretty darn horrible. I mean, it's "decent" for a web call but it does not compare to a good voice recording. It would be great to have web meeting software that would send high quality voice without its heavy-handed processing, and for everyone to use a high-quality microphone.
DHS alone would plausibly explain that number. Personally I think it is rather low, maybe they missed something?

It’s not a question of whether it has no impact or not because that’s irrelevant. You would actively have to punish people for making music in order for music not to be made—that’s how strong that force is. (Well heck, maybe more music would be made in that case, out of spite and rebellion.)

The two rivals write a contract? The contract involves a 3rd party that's mutually agreed upon by the rivals?

If the two rivals can't abide by a contract, a blockchain wouldn't resolve the scenario either. Imagine "bug vs boot" or "shooting war" kinds of contract violations where overwhelming force is in play; why would a blockchain make a difference?

Human history has lots of "people don't trust each other" scenarios, and they've been resolved in the past, with reasonable efficiency, without blockchain.

The average user at scale is nothing like the average early adopter user. Developers tend to be early adopters of tech products.
Thing is, they do have some valid points, even if they often end up buried in a heap of muck. E.g. I don't think that criticizing this is only possible from a conservative perspective:

"In her work with the Nuxalk, Leischner decided not to record any of the interviews, so as not to continue the legacy of extraction."
>"Blockchains by definition are immutable post-finality."

This is the greatest misunderstanding. Immutability is NOT a property of blockchains.
Its a property of Bitcoin and possibly Ethereum through PoW/PoS

So essentially, you were offered a remedy that allowed you to continue playing the game, you rejected the remedy, and now you're complaining? They're obligated to support the old version of the client forever, regardless of any obstacles to that?

If you bought it to play on a 32-bit Mac would they be obligated to port it to 64-bit? Would they be obligated to port an OpenGL-based client to Metal after Apple's deprecation?

The problem is education, not ChatGPT. Education needs to evolve, and so far, ChatGPT has been fantastic as an educational device.

Well that's a strawman argument right there. Obviously by training I don't mean perfecting repetitive tasks or anything of that sort. If that was the case, I would have advocating on training prompts or fast typing or something of that sort.

Now factor in the environmental factors of making the batteries and disposing of them, and account for fossil fuels used to generate power.

Presumably they could just manufacture them ("them" being magical computers the size of a contact lens, so I know I'm going out on a bit of a ledge here) to also include your prescription along with the magic computer bits.
Netflix had a good run. Massive investments in content, no competition, maximizing the network effect by tolerating the sharing of accounts, real "growth hacking". But we all know what happens next in such trajectories: the squeeze. They were about the cash in on their market dominance.

Competition stopped that. You should be happy about it. I know I am. Let the explosion happen, let them compete for our money. The minor inconvenience of occasionally jumping in and out of a secondary service is worth it.
Can you or jrm4 explain why Spotify's royalty system (a 70/30 split in favour of the rights holder) is unfair?

If I had to guess I'd say it convinces artists to license their work for less money than they'd make if they stuck it on Bandcamp, but I'm not certain, and neither of you has explained it.
You don't need to replace it, really.
I have an idea. You do a cursory investigation on what "therapy" is and the come back here and tell us why my definition of therapy is strange.

When someone refers others to therapy in a generic sense, why do you think that's effectively the same as suggesting self actualization? Is the other party looking for self actualization, or are they probably looking to figure out the root of their problems?
Interesting. I liked the original run of the Lost. I've liked it even more when I rewatched it a few times. For me the characters were the most important part of the show, and writers did a great job developing them. I also see a common thread about "good first seasons", but theses seasons were more about ever growing mysteries. Second half of the run gave us great episodes like The Constant, LaFleur, or Ab Aeterno. Me caring for the characters is what made them great.

And writing is what makes me care about these characters. The mysteries were fun and most of them resolved by the end of the show, but for me it is a lesser part of the show.

Their policy (https://homesupport.irobot.com/s/article/964) seems pretty clear, and from what I've seen of the app it explicitly asks before uploading photos. If you're concerned you can turn the recognition feature off, or block it from the Internet and trigger it manually.
It would be a very sad day in history indeed if the West ended up being dependent on a bunch of authoritarians and misogynists to keep Twitter up and running. Personally I'm all for absolutely forbidding that kind of money from funding anything related to press, politics, media and communications.

Everyone loves cryptography and the chain of blocks structure because they are good things

Neither of those things are the defining feature of cryptocurrencies, decentralization is.

Decentralization is one of the most pointless endeavors in technology, because it's so hard to scale anything decentralized (case in point, how expensive on-chain BTC/ETH transactions are).
That is exactly it, the additional effort to add missing calls, no Metal frameworks integration, it is mostly for basic workloads.

What's wrong on a moral level about this story is that the homeowners refused to pay for the fire department, decided to live on unincorporated land, and then expected the firemen to risk their lives to save property -- not to save lives, just to save property.

We can't have a functioning society if people who opt out of paying for it demand to benefit from it anyway. If people could get away with that, nobody would pay for the fire department and it wouldn't exist. By caving in this situation, the fire department would have signaled to everyone else that it's ok to not pay.

Maybe the tax that supports the fire department ought to be mandatory? Sure, that is how it works almost everywhere in the US. People who live in places where that is not the case are doing so on purpose, and they would vote against changing it.

Want to live in the middle of nowhere and depend on the government for little or nothing? Go for it, but don't complain when you want the government's help. Want to live in a city with a lot of government services? You can do that too. At least people have a choice.
