That's specific to reverse engineering a product that has the same features as an existing one though. Part of the concept of open source is allowing others to learn from your implementation. In many cases one doesn't want to include an open source project directly in their code base for a variety of reasons, maintainability being a big factor. I don't see a clean room implementation being a good solution to the problem of wanting to use accepted standards and practices which must be gleaned from experience working with or learning from other people's code. I don't think you can get far arguing that all code should be written in a vacuum with no ability to learn from outside sources.
You could make the same claim for structure padding in memory. I wouldn't call that useless either.
I understand the point you are making but the problem is that of a conflation and not that of equivalence.

The price of gas is 10% higher this week than last week. A.k.a.: the price this week is 1.1 times the previous week.

I was going 50% faster than my friend was. A.k.a.: my speed was 1.5 times his'.

You were going 100% times faster than me, so you were going twice as fast as I was.

Change factor. 1 + the change / 100.

Based on my meager experience in this area (mostly having been involved in the mechanical keyboard enthusiast scene where there's a lot of small-batch [e.g. 50-5,000 units] manufacturing), the killer for CNC machining is the complexity of the shape being machined and the tolerances desired. A simple flat rounded rect is relatively easy/cheap, but if you go for a more 3D sort of shape with complex curves cost will go through the roof. It's similar with tolerances, with large margins being cheap and low being high.
I can second the immense utility of an ice cube scoop. A basic plastic or metal one is just a few dollars, and will probably last forever. No more touching ice cubes with your hands!
I would argue we're on the precipice of a cultural regress - where "content" on the internet goes from 95% junk to 99.5% junk since junk is getting so much easier to generate. Consider "Elsa-gate" on YouTube a few years ago for an example of this in action.

I've scrabbled together a pot roast recipe I follow loosely that gets praised every time I make it. I get a chuck roast (or something similar), evenly coat in salt and pepper to taste, saute it in the insta pot(about 6-7 minutes each side to brown it), deglaze with red wine vinegar, then put in half a small package of carrots and little red potatoes(onions can be added but nobody likes them here). I also add 2-3 pepperoncinis on this bottom layer, then I put the roast back in, put the rest of the carrots/potatoes/another couple of pepperoncinis on top and around. Then I add a cup of water and beef bullion, and set the pressure cook feature to around 1 hour 10 minutes or so. I use the keep-warm mode and while it's ready to go once the main pressure is done, it just gets better over time (and you can do it before leaving for work and come home to lunch or supper already waiting). I'm really lazy when it comes to cooking, but this has been easy, fast and delicious (plus leftovers!).

An even easier thing is shredded BBQ chicken. They can even be frozen and it's done in an hour. Would write the recipe but leaving for lunch now.

For me: Jellyfin with all my movies, shows, home videos, and a film footage archive of content ripped from YouTube. I set this server up when a movie I wanted to watch was no longer on Netflix and I realized, in a few decades there’s a decent likelihood that many of my favorites will be hard to find on streaming services or I’ll have to subscribe to several services to get the collection I want. I’ve had it running for years now and it’s one of my favorite things. I share access to it with my friends and family, so they benefit as well. Only issue I had to get around was with steaming 4k video. For some reason, the official Jellyfin apps try to transcode 4k video live rather than just streaming it directly, and my low-CPU NAS really struggles to keep up with that, so I’d resorted to paying for Infuse Pro as the front end for my server, which does stream 4k without transcoding. In all it’s just a NAS with ngrok running in a docker container running Jellyfin and a Caddy reverse proxy. Highly recommend this setup to anyone interested in building a media server! It feels good to actually own some digital content in the age of Spotify and Netflix.
> as a friend of mine observed when asked to speak at a conference on "pursuing excellence in facilities management": "Who the hell would pursue second-rateness?"

Most people, actually – though few are so bold as to announce it. That said, I agree with the point: although individuals may not pursue greatness, public institutions always should.
You'll get no objection from me on those grounds, I love my 'press and did convert a few colleagues.

> they can simply change the license terms to prohibit that use

GitHub's argument* is not that they're following the license but that the license does not apply to their use. So they would continue to ignore any provision that says they can't use the material for training.

Previously discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27740001

Moving off GitHub is a better step at a practical level. But again they claim the license doesn't matter, so even if it's hosted publicly elsewhere they would (presumably) maintain that they can still scoop it up. It just becomes more work, for them, to do so.

*Which is completely wrong in my opinion, for the record

You might need to reframe your terminology on what "software fragility" is referring to. If you mean looking into critical failures in systems due to vulnerabilities in third-party libraries (I'm thinking Log4JS), then the terminology currently used in security is "software supply chain" [1].

My general process is once you've found an article, like the "Backstabber's knife collection: A review of open source software supply chain attacks" from my link, read through it with a text editor open. Make notes like a summary of what they did, what they found, strengths and weaknesses, and what I like to call "the rabbit hole". If you see a reference to something you're curious about, find what the citation for that piece of information is and follow up with a reading of that article next. Repeat until you've exhausted the findings and move on to the next interesting reference.

There's nothing wrong with DarnTough, but for value the Costco wool socks at ~17 for 3 pairs are the way to go. In more than a decade of use I've probably worn out four pairs.

It’s about 5000 AU.

That means an Earth based space empire could encompass the entire solar system, but the limit of its reach would only extend part way into the Oort Cloud. Beyond this would be a lawless frontier.

Since this is based on the speed of light, it could be the maximum size for any empire in the universe without the use of some kind of FTL technology.
I mean, if you fully clone the style of another artist and promote it as your own you will get derided by most art communities.
It definitely feels a little odd. If everyone is an author, then does authorship really matter?

Is authorship broken out in any way? I would think it could be useful to do something like credits on a movie. Here are the writers, the directors, the producers. And then here is the lighting team, and this team worked on these special effects, this other team on these other effects, etc.

Who cares about returns over the next 150 years? Even half that is excessive. Someone investing at age 18 might care about the subsequent 50 years.

It's going to be a long time before some other country takes over the "reserve currency/investment market of last resort" position the US currently has. No other market is even close to providing the deep liquidity and rule of law the US market has over a wide variety of instruments.

Sure, someone will eventually take over that role, but there are no candidates today. And, to your point: it was clear by the late 19th century that the US dollar would displace Sterling, but it took another half a century for that to happen. On the scale of current human lifespan, you can assume it won't happen at all.
Salesforce is CRM, customer relationship management, and not an ERP. Oracle is, as far as I onow, mainly accountong, and not great.

Proper ERPs come from the likes of MS (MS Dynamics, an aquisition), Siebel (or whatever they are called...), INFOR and, obviously, SAP. The implementation is make or break so, regardless of vendor.
I mean hearing protection isn't a binary thing. I doubt they would pass hearing protection certifications for things that they're normally used for, like heavy construction or whatnot, but it'd be hard to imagine sticking something in your ear wouldn't offer hearing protection, not even considering the ANC.

Unrelated to the article's thesis: the use of both colors and numbers in the static map of the Roman Empire is very clever and I wish this technique were used more often.

I don't in general have trouble distinguishing colored areas when they're adjacent to each other. But when they're separated from each other -- as is often the case with a map and its legend -- it becomes a lot more difficult.

Using colors to show extent and numbers to match up with the legend is a great solution to this problem. Take note!
Negative annualized return for the 10 year period from 2000 to 2009 is actually quite frightening.

Fair point. To add some context though, this data is based on the returns of the S&P500 index.

Companies in the S&P500 index are based in the U.S., but most of them earn revenues internationally as well.

"Roughly 40% of S&P 500 revenues are generated outside of the U.S., and about 58% of Information Technology company sales were sourced from abroad."

So, the performance of the U.S. stock market in the next 150 years will not rely solely on U.S. specific economic growth.
I didn't technically buy a Sodastream, but it's been a great addition. We used to regularly buy pads of Lacroix from Costco. Now it's just the plain fizzy water (with occasional home-made flavor experiments).

Why is it not a great idea?
This I did not know. But besides the time, is there anything the air fryer does better than a convection toaster oven? Does the food taste noticably better? Otherwise, an air fryer strikes me as a unitasker that just takes up counter space. We get a lot of use out of our Cuisinart toaster oven because it can do a lot: bake a loaf of bread, roast a tray of vegetables, or broil a piece of meat. And, oh yeah, it makes great toast!

They function as headphones. The main issue, for worse or sometimes for better, is that you need an iPhone to update the firmware. Apple's Quick pairing also won't work, but Android doesn't really have an equivalent anyway.
Cyme – List system USB buses and devices; a modern lsusb
The project started as a quick replacement for a barely working macOS System Profiler to `lsusb` style script. Like most fun projects, it quickly experienced feature creep as I developed it into a cross-platform alternative `lsusb`.

As a developer of embedded devices, I use a USB list tool on a frequent basis and made cyme to cater to what I believe are the short comings of `lsusb`; verbose dump is too verbose, tree doesn't contain useful data on the whole, it barely works on non-Linux platforms and modern terminals support features that make glancing through the data easier; colour, icons. It also features more filtering options, that grepping the output would not facilitate.

Under the hood it uses 'libusb' and the macOS System Profiler CLI tool on macOS.

Does one _need_ a replacement for `lsusb`? No. It's akin to other modern CLI tools such as `lsd` and `fd` - both Rust projects I used as references developing `cyme`. I find it quicker to find attached devices and find whether a device I'm working on is enumerating how I expect than `lsusb` and perhaps others will too.

N% more fast and X times more fast are equivalent.

10% more fast is 1.1 times more fast. 50% more fast is 1.5 times more fast. 100% more fast is 1 times more fast. 200% more fast is 3 times more fast. N% more fast is 1 + N / 100 times more fast. Change factor.

100% more fast is 1 times more fast. This is mellanstadiematte in Sweden. We do this when we are 10-11. I'm guessing you did too.
In America there used to be union halls, fraternal societies, and clubs. The decline in these things in the U.S. occurred with desegregation. I don’t know enough of social history to say desegregation was the cause but it certainly was a contributing factor. For instance, municipal pools used to be a thing and they were shutdown as a result of desegregation in many cities. Whatever the causes we see an increase in social isolation, a decrease in desire for municipal investment in community activities, a decline in men in universities, and other ill effects.
In what language or toolset can you compile a project like Chromium faster? Big projects take a while to compile. Nobody has broken this rule yet so why are we fixated on it being problematic? Obviously, we could not compile the project and eschew all the optimizations we get, but then the end user would be unhappy. I don't know, I've always found the tradeoff to be quite understandable and inoffensive: if I want faster development (among other things), I use an interpreted scripting language. If I want a fast end product (among other things) I compile and optimize to machine code beforehand (obviously it's not that simple, but you get the point).
Communication obviously plays a big part but I think time to action is probably the better metric. You need to be able to act quicker than your opponent, and if you can't, you need to be able to absorb the damage they can inflict in the mean time whilst still having enough resources to inflict more damage than you sustained when you can eventually act.
> Two notable examples concerning Amazon S3 storage buckets are the leak of data from 123 million households in December 2017 and the leak of 540 million records of Facebook users in April 2019.

> If that data had been encrypted, the leaks wouldn't have had nearly as dire consequences for the exposed individuals, but unfortunately, due to overhead costs, operational complexity, and performance sacrifices, database encryption is commonly avoided.

Ok, I consider myself semi-knowledgeable about these things and I use AWS for professional and personal projects but this confused me. Deciding to encrypt your S3 bucket only means encryption at rest right?. Of course you could encrypt your data before storing it in S3 but that's a different thing. This article seems to think that if encryption was on by default that public buckets wouldn't have leaked. If you set your bucket to public then AWS is going to decrypt your data on the fly when someone goes to ask for it right?

Or am I missing something?

I finally bought a pair of 1st gen AirPods at the end of 2021, and while they have some issues (tap gestures stopped working and/or became very unreliable at some point, occasionally in-ear detection gets messed up) the convenience of them is hard to overstate. No untangling wires or having to be tethered to the device. At the gym I can throw my phone on the ground nearby and continue to get my music while I do exercises, and at home I can pop in a single earbud and have the stereo audio converted to mono in a single ear to listen to podcasts while playing a video game. And it wasn't until using that that I realized how much of an annoyance having my ears tethered to my pocket was, and having to constantly keep the mental overhead of not snagging the wire on my fingers or a doorhandle or something while using wired headphones.

I do wish they'd come down in price more, and ideally in the future be more sweat-resistant and most importantly have replaceable batteries. I don't really love the idea that they're essentially a ~$200 every 2 years subscription at the moment, all while creating a craptonne of ewaste.
Most of the mesh APs I've seen on the market also have Ethernet ports so you don't have to just extend the wireless signal around the house. So if OP already had the APs (which it sounds like they did), they just needed to get the MoCA adapters.
More interesting that power and influence, which is an open question, is demographics. There is little to be done about shifting world demographics. Even if the us stays the premier world superpower, can that offset massive declines in the amount of people producing and consuming everywhere? While the us may actually be okay with shifting demographics (Zeihan has some interesting stuff on this), most major economies are facing rapidly declining populations over the next couple of decades.

I'm a hobby welder (going on 2 years). My inverter stick welder will go to 90 amps on a 120V outlet and up to 180 amps on a 240V outlet. It's not uncommon for engine drive welders (like what you see on trucks) to go up to 250 or 300 amps.

2 things that make welding relatively safe from electrocution are: (1) the steel you're welding on makes a much better path for electricity flow than your body (especially when you're wearing heavy welding gloves), (2) welding in a dry environment (not raining, not standing in water, not drenched in sweat, etc.).
Your scheme sounds pretty similar to something like "if I find the house key in my pocket, I instantaneously know that my wife doesn't have it".
