gesetze-im-internet.de is operated by juris GmbH. They used to claim exclusive rights for their custom-made consolidated versions, and I believe they still claim something like that for historic versions available through their commercial subscription. (It so happens that juris also runs gesetze.berlin.de.) These juris versions are often viewed as authoritative, despite being made by a private company outside of the legislative process. There's another completely non-official website called buzer.de, which handles this so much better.

If you want to read the actual law as published, that's another commercial service (Bundesgesetzblatt, run by Bundesanzeiger Verlag), and there, the company claims protection rights as a database work. You are expected to buy a subscription if you want to print or search the PDF files they offer for viewing, or apparently for any kind of non-personal use. Unlike gesetze-im-internet.de and despite its commercial nature, Bundesgesetzblatt is an official federal publication.
I'm repeatedly confused by these one-off payments. In Germany, consumer gas prices increased by 2-4x (iirc) and electricity prices increased by at least 40%. Supermarket goods have increased by up to 50%. We got a 300€ one-off payment before tax. I'm fairly well off for my means and I'm still feeling it. I have no idea how the less fortunate (and there are many) are able to deal with it.

> Did it cost taxpayers millions?

> Nope. Paul Fisher at the Fisher Pen Company had already been working on a pressurized pen. That said, it would never have reached the heights it did, in orbit or in popularity, without NASA’s testing. [...]

> When NASA reached out to him looking for a pen that didn’t require gravity, he knew this pressurized ink cartridge could be just the thing – if he could solve the leaks. With NASA’s interest spurring him on, he finally succeeded when he added resin to the ink to make it “thixotropic” – almost solid until friction with the ball at the point of the pen liquefied it. He called the result the AG7, for anti-gravity, and sent several to NASA. [1]

Postscript regarding the 'cosmonauts just used a pencil' meme -- regular pencils have a tendency to make graphite dust which is problematic in a zero gravity science situation. Thus, the Soviets used grease pencils in the early days, which were problematic for other reasons, experimented with mechanical pencils just like the US, and once 'space pens' were available they switched to them as well, shortly after the US.

This reminds me of a YouTube channel which was called "behind the screens" (IIRC). It's been active a few years ago and had short breakdowns of hacking/programming scenes from various movies. But I can't seem to find it again right now. Anyone know it and have a link?
It's much better that commenting is open, so that people thinking these things can express themselves, and be exposed to different viewpoints, resulting in more thinking and shared knowledge.

Without that, an opinion can fester in someone's mind, becoming worse since there's no way to release it and no visible counterarguments.

In my younger Slashdot days, I would read these polarized discussions, and it taught me about many perspectives on even the simplest thing.

Most billionaires figured this out ages ago: thread very carefully when speaking publicly,or don't say anything at all unless it somehow benefits you down the line. There were litterly cases of large companies collapsing because some arrogant tool at the top couldn't keep their mouth shut.

Soda in any form is a diarrhetic and causes dehydration. It's not good for the body in any amount, much less in large bottles. That said, as a long time drinker of sodie pop, my body appears to expect the sugar. Having non caloric sweeteners after a while is like that feeling of dieting where the body wants to return to it's normal.

I look at it as a good thing. I shouldn't be drinking it, and if I'm going to I'd rather not contribute to diabetes in my older future.
I have worked with a desktop. For years. My career as a programmer far predates laptops.

Using a laptop may be painful for you. I don't find it painful or difficult or limiting. Plenty of programmers work from laptops. I understand it's not for everyone. Likewise a big desktop machine with multiple monitors and big speakers and all that is not for everyone. I travel a lot so a desktop computer won't work for me.

VW was founded by the Nazis, and the SS ran labor camps where prisoners were forced to work for Auto Union. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in Audi's wiki, they did make an announcement about it several years ago.

I find it amusing that this company seems to be the go-to for those refusing to buy a Tesla for ethical reasons (see also: Alyssa Milano recently announcing she sold her Tesla to buy a VW).

This would involve Elon playing “4D Chess”. No reason to think that unless meritocracy existed.

The algorithms they ask for in interviews are so low level that any programmer could learn them in a couple of months, that is generalist level and not specialist level. Not all developers who pass them are generalists, but the people who don't aren't generalist developers. They could be generalist problems solvers who dabbles a bit in programming, but they aren't generalist developers.

I just checked the settings again. Indeed there is a "Play alarm sound" setting if you scroll down. I guess it was enabled by default in my case (good, since otherwise I might not know that my phone made the call from my backpack).

Slightly off topic, but I did not even notice before the Emergency SOS settings screen has anything below the break. This UI design is just terrible. There is absolutely nothing hinting that you can scroll down:

https://www.tablix.org/~avian/android_13_emergency_sos_setti...

(Looking at the screenshot now, you can just about see that alarm sound setting below the slightly transparent bottom row. That's just about impossible to see on the real phone, plus the row has the usual Android set of buttons on top, obscuring the text even further).

I think the one-offs are aimed at helping those indebted because of the increasing prices, while the six months without VAT on basic foodstuffs would be an attempt to prevent the issue from getting worse.

I'm curious how you are planning to validate that this works and doesn't have negative side-effects.

> That’s in part because it’s highly controversial. Little is known about the real-world effect of such deliberate interventions at large scales, but they could have dangerous side effects. The impacts could also be worse in some regions than others, which could provoke geopolitical conflicts.

> By Iseman’s own description, the first two balloon launches were very rudimentary. He says they occurred in April somewhere in the state of Baja California, months before Make Sunsets was incorporated in October. Iseman says he pumped a few grams of sulfur dioxide into weather balloons and added what he estimated would be the right amount of helium to carry them into the stratosphere.

> He expected they would burst under pressure at that altitude and release the particles. But it’s not clear whether that happened, where the balloons ended up, or what impact the particles had, because there was no monitoring equipment on board the balloons. Iseman also acknowledges that they did not seek any approvals from government authorities or scientific agencies, in Mexico or elsewhere, before the first two launches.
Advent of Code 2022 on a MikroMikko 4TT m326
The "wiggle room" built into the lega system is because reasoning of any sort is always carried out under conditions of epistemic uncertainty. This is built into legal systems through concepts such as burden of proof, reasonable doubt etc. that acknowledge that the legal system makes mistakes frequently due to a lack of, or distorted information, and therefore there should always be avenues through which decisions can be challenged.

The second concept that is embedded (at least theoretically) in legal systems is the concept of procedural justice, that an outcome is Just iff all participants in the procedure that led to that outcome consider it Just. The most obvious example of this is trial by a jury of your peers.

In light of this you can see two obvious problems with these types of algorithmic systems. First they tend to treat the model as perfect and are used as if they can spit out guilty / not guilty answers by the people using them, and second they are often black boxes where it is impossible for the subject to challenge the outcome, as they don't know how it has been reached.

Ultimately I think these systems need to have a human in the loop and to be reasonable (in the sense that they can be reasoned about)
If I was attempting virtue signalling, I wouldn't have bought an ICE over an EV.
I don't spend much time in the area so I can't really comment on it, but it's definitely (in my experience) the exception rather than the norm. It's happened to me twice in 10 years of living here, both in the same general area (black isle) on two different trips. We are very regular walkers, but we're not "explorers", looking for new or untrodden paths.

I think OP's point is that it's not GPIB, it's "GPIB", a.k.a. something that kind of looks like gpib if you squint, but really is some custom derivative that is only supported by one obscure piece of DOS-only software that doesn't work with more then 8MB of ram.

Those USB-GPIB tools work reasonably well for getting plots, but if you have an instrument that does weird things you're generally SOL.

Is it this protocol we're talking about? https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/WS2812.pdf (Your comment piqued my curiosity and I looked it up.)

I think the desire to only use a single wire for signalling is understandable, at least in setups where there are physical wires, rather than tracks on a flex PCB, running from LED to LED.

Since every rising edge is the start of a new bit, encoding each bit with an H followed by an L makes the signal self-clocking. With this, the two sides don't need very accurate -- or shared -- clocks.

With the tolerances specified in the datasheet, to tell a zero from one the receiver only needs to tell whether a pulse is shorter (T0H) or longer (T1H) that 0.5us.

T0L and T1L are indistinguishable (their allowed durations overlap) and don't need to be measured by the receiver. That said, I do agree that it's weird that they weren't chosen such that T0H+T0L=T1H+T1L at the centre of the tolerance range.
What search terms would you recommend a generalist plug in to indeed.com to maximize their chances of getting hired at a competitive salary?

Remember, they are a generalist, so specific languages, frameworks, and platforms don't count; they won't be more experienced in any of those than competing applicants, by their nature.
Fascinating. You have an anecdote. Which is about as convincing as any anecdote of my own. I know plenty of people in Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia who all love Tolkien’s work.

GitHub itself uses the OSI definition in its ReadME guide to open source:

> Many people think that Open Source simply means availability of the source code of a project, but that does only tell part of the whole story.

> The Open Source Initiative (OSI) provides a commonly accepted definition of what constitutes Open Source. To summarize that, in order to be constituted Open Source,

>> a work has to allow free redistribution,

>> the source code needs to be made available,

>> it must be possible to create further works based on it,

>> there must be no limitations of who may use the work or for what purpose (so something like "no commercial use" or "no military use" won't fly with Open Source),

>> the work must not require an additional license on top of the one it comes with,

>> and finally, the license must not depend on a specific distribution format, technology or presence of other works.

> So, you see, it goes way beyond "the source code is available", in fact, a whole lot more requirements are stated that must be fulfilled in order for a work to really be considered Open Source.

https://github.com/readme/guides/open-source-licensing

Also, GitHub's most starred repo is freeCodeCamp (359k stars - https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp). Linked right in the repo's README, freeCodeCamp defines open source as:

> Open Source Software is code that is publicly available for people to view, modify, and share.

I think we might be overindexed on his Twitter antics. Yes, he’s proven himself an incompetent moron for not realising the difficulty of running Twitter despite repeatedly being told it’s difficult. But this was only noticed by terminally online people and those adjacent to them.

It’s like the panel gaps on Tesla cars. Yes, they exist. Yes, they could indicate worse QA issues with the car. But for most part, this is something that only bothers car reviewers. Ordinary consumers don’t notice it and still buy Teslas thinking they’re quality cars.

Ultimately, what impacts Teslas sales isn’t his cruelty of the last few months. It’s something much more mundane - other manufacturers make decent electric cars now. And their charging infra is comparable to Tesla’s.
Scanning 4TB for a week? It should not take as long even if you use magnetic tapes and change them manually.

A.K.A. "I've never bought specialized test/measurement equipment."

The problem is if you require well documented, available software interfaces, your available options do not exist.
The article mentions the protocol is very similar to the 1-Wire protocol, and links to the Wikipedia article, which provides some helpful clues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Wire

> To send a binary number "1", the bus master sends a very brief (1–15 μs) low pulse. To send a binary number "0", the master sends a 60 μs low pulse. The falling (negative) edge of the pulse is used to start a monostable multivibrator in the slave device. The multivibrator in the slave reads the data line about 30 μs after the falling edge. The slave's internal timer is an inexpensive analog timer. It has analog tolerances that affect its timing accuracy. Therefore, the pulses are calculated to be within margins. Therefore, the "0" pulses have to be 60 μs long, and the "1" pulses can't be longer than 15 μs.

The other “simple” protocols you mention all require a clock line, whereas 1-Wire/IDBUS do not. UART comes closer, except it requires both devices maintain their own independent, reasonably accurate clocks. (How do you tell whether that long high pulse was 4 or 5 1-bits in a row if your clock is terrible?) If you’re trying to design a very simple system that needs to work with wildly inaccurate clocks, you need some kind of self-clocking protocol, like this, where the difference between a 1 and a 0 bit is an order-of-magnitude difference in pulse width.

When I was a teen, me and a friend built a device (for a competition) that could encode and decode messages onto a roll of receipt paper by moving the paper across a reader/writer head (a sharpie attached to a servo, and a photosensor) to draw and read lines. Clocking turned out to be by far the hardest problem, because the speed at which the paper moved was too unpredictable and inconsistent (it depended on battery level, inconsistencies in the motor, how heavy the roll was, how hard the marker was making contact with the paper, etc), We spent many hours designing, testing, and tweaking the software and hardware until we arrived at basically this exact encoding scheme — plus a Hamming code based on letter frequency since we were encoding English messages. We felt very proud of this elaborate way to encode text — until we realized we had just reinvented Morse code.
I get that the Tesla FSD crashed once, but did it hold some king of grudge and followed him to the hospital? Or did Tesla build Skynet and it was a second Tesla and they were coordinating the attack? Was the son named Connor?

I started out as a sysadmin on VME, moving to SunOS/Solaris in the mid 90s. I worked largely on DEC VT100 and subsequently a I had a Sun Ultra 5 workstation. I can genuinely argue that I have more real world CLI time under my belt that your average HNer. I have extremely fond memories of that time, but I don’t miss it. I’m much happier with a GUI to click around. I still drop into the terminal to complete some tasks, more out of habit than anything else but the idea of going back to using a terminal 90% of the time just doesn’t fill me with joy. There is a lot of fetishisation of tools, especially of terminals and the CLI. Admittedly things are a better now in someways, in others, not so much.
> To have a more reliable method identify who has entered a country?

On the US’ side yes, but it’s not more reliable tracking because the US doesn’t have exit customs and so doesn’t actually verify if people have left the country again.

Though nobody’s against biometrics because of this surely? I don’t think anyone campaigns for the right to enter on fake passports. Spies maybe.

As for health insurance, there’s no country where they’re allowed to act on opinions like that, aside for asking if you’re a smoker. They’re specifically banned from genetic testing on top of that, but they wouldn’t be secretly collecting that info anyway.

…Not that they even exist in most countries.
This looks very similar to 1-Wire, which is for ultra-low power devices that communicate on and are powered by the same wire. The reason the pulse widths are different is that the falling edge of the pulse kicks off an oscillator-based timer that triggers a read of the value of the line at some point between the two durations.
It's an expensive solution, but most Thunderbolt 4 cables have markings and they support pretty much everything (Thunderbolt, USB, Alt modes, high-wattage charging, etc.).
The extensions are compatible, aren't they?

rm -fr ~/.vscode/*
cp -a ~/.vscode-oss/* ~/.vscode/
# Run VS Code, download extensions

Based on my recollection of migrating to VSCodium, all my extensions continued to work just fine.

I think there's also a hacky way to let VSCodium access the VS Code extension marketplace, but I believe it's an EULA violation.

thanks for the explanation. I'm really curious though, how do we know this is unique to the mRNA vaccines, or covid vaccines in general? could infection with SARS-CoV-2 in unvaccinated people also lead to IgG4 production?

Like, the mRNA vaccines are basically doing the first few steps of what the real virus does: attaching to ACE2 receptors with Spike and producing viral proteins from mRNA. It's hard for me to see where the immune system could get led down a different path.
Thanks, I quickly found what I was looking for!

Take a look at his replies on Twitter. He's constantly appreciating random nobodies who tweeted praise of him. Or look at the whole view count thing. Yes, he absolutely cares.
Identify where you are the problem. Most of us are oversensitive. I adopted an internal paradigm after many years of, "I am doing the best work I can here, if it isn't good enough, sack me". Give yourself a break, and make sure you aren't making yourself weary in part.

The other trick that helped me through the most difficult times was working with my hands outdoors. Over a 7 year period I landscaped my garden and built two sheds in my spare time. I'm pretty sure this was an antidote to looking after a saas.
