Instead of spending thousands of dollars to fix the wiring, another option would be to spend hundreds of dollars installing GFCI outlets at every outlet instead of protecting the whole circuit with a GFCI breaker (or upstream GFCI outlet)

But if I had wiring that was leaking enough current to trip a GFCI, I'd rather find the fault in the wiring.

When I rewired an old house, the livingroom circuit kept tripping the GFCI breaker. It took a while to find, but apparently at a junction box, the bedroom circuit was connected to the livingroom neutral, so that neutral was connected to 2 circuits and was potentially overloaded.
Without a running code, it's hard to grasp concepts. So i prefer texts with code.

"What The Hell Have You Built" a classic from the NoSQL / Big Data / Distributed Systems heyday of the early 2010's

It's like a copy of Photoshop with the color green blocked so that you can't draw US banknotes.

Would Photoshop ever have seen success of it could only edit red/blue images?
this is not a direct answer to your question, but cheese quality varies more than tomato quality, and NYC pizza in the inexpensive tier already switched to it's-not-really-cheese a few decades ago, so there is little room for saving except by withholding. Possibly customers want the very visible cheese-like product more than they want the sauce so scrimping on the cheese would turn more customers away?
Let me top that, "luxury?" Teslas may be expensive, but that's not what makes a luxury car.
> A global recession is coming against a backdrop of the Fed raising rates

I believe we're going to double dip. We already dipped before the holidays. We'll see one more very painful quarter, which may not be Q1, but Q2 or Q3. From what I've seen, Series B+ is essentially impossible right now unless you're in the top 0.0001% of companies. Even then, if you're that operationally efficient, you might even hold off on funding until you can pull a higher valuation in 24-36 months.

As far as tech layoffs go. I think this has been coming for nearly a decade. Companies have been hiring at what seemed an insane pace for so long that it just became the norm. My personal opinions on Elon aside, he proved how bloated a lot silicon valley tech companies are/were.

Each state modifies this slightly but not much. Note too that the MUTCD can be your friend if you get a questionable traffic ticket. If the relevant signs don’t follow the standards that’s often grounds for dismissing the ticket. Non-standard signage can be quite common in some jurisdictions, although typically off the Interstates which are more tightly regulated.
Show HN: Fern, a language for defining REST APIs that compiles into OpenAPI
Hi HN, this is Danny, Deep, and Zach.

We built Fern after our previous ed tech startup failed. We were frustrated with how much time we spent writing “API code” instead of working on the actual product. We tried to use OpenAPI but we were underwhelmed - the generated code wasn’t idiomatic and it still required manual work (custom templates, scripts, manually publishing SDKs to registries).

The Fern compiler takes your API as input and invokes generators that output things like: SDKs, server code, a Postman collection, and an OpenAPI spec.

Some technical highlights about the compiler + generators:

- The compiler (available as a CLI) handles syntactic + semantic validation. It also includes a linter that encodes best practices. If your API Definition compiles, you can have high confidence that the SDKs will generate correctly.

- After all the parsing and validation, the compiler outputs an intermediate representation that gets handed off to the generators. This prevents each generator from re-implementing the same parsing and validation logic.

- Each generator is implemented in the language it is targeting - e.g. the Python generators are written in Python, the TypeScript generators are written in TS. It makes the SDKs more idiomatic because every programming language generally has the best tooling/libraries for generating code in itself. We also think it’ll make community involvement + contribution easier.

- The generators can output the code to disk, but also push the code to a Github repo and publish the SDK directly to registries (e.g. npm, Maven).

We are looking for devs to use Fern for API development. If you have any feedback about the process, compiler, or the generated code, we’d love to hear it.

Because the realization that "no, an AI is not artificial life" will hit, everyone will realize that all an AI does is running a function with millions of unknown state variables, and that this is not helpful when you're tyring to understand why a network does (or doesn't) do something.

Sure, the applications we have (and then some) will stay, for cases where using AI brings real benefits (just like after the first AI winter).
Wasn't the whole thing about that it didn't move like a rock?
WW1 happened right after Roosevelt and Wilson got done debating who was going to be the best person to centralize state power in the national government in the mold of the social progressives. And just after Wilson outsourced American monetary policy to a banking cartel, which opened the way to unlimited war and an unlimited welfare state.

Thanks for your reply.
So does the Pizza Hut-alike recipe, but I didn't expect the actual recipe there to literally be a drier focaccia.
Agreed. Build quality that no VW owner would accept. Calling the interior design "minimalist" is an insult to IKEA.
It's Occam's Razor. In order for it to be an interstellar rock, you require no other assumption because there is little evidence to suggest it isn't.

If you believe it is a probe you must assume an alien civilisation.

Occam's Razor suggests fewest assumptions win.
I really think another good thing about NYC pizza is that they aren't trying to make NYC pizza. They're just trying to make the best pizza possible.

LOL.
Let's be clear on who the users are, then. In general, I see several different broad groups of stakeholders:

1. The developers who create the software.

2. The rest of the company developers work for, and possibly other people in other companies - who all make money selling or renting the software.

3. The actual users stuck with the software.

I'm not sure if Agile meant 3 > 1 and 2, or just pretended to, but actually meant 2 > 1, but your comment does read as advocating for 2 > 1 > 3, which is arguably the current industry standard.
I had electricians install a new panel and they had lots to say about the new regs. GFCI has been replaced with AFCI, and from what I can tell, it's not that much more protection, but it is a LOT more finicky and will trip for unnecessary reasons.

I kind of wonder if some of these safety devices will get people killed because they will fall tromping down to the basement or garage to muck with their panels.
I use svelte when I have the choice. If there is a need for a server side story then SvelteKit. I’ve used many different design systems for components including Bootstrap, Material, Carbon, Headless…
So to go full circle on crazy theories: We're live in a simulation. The universe we see is just a facade because our host civilization doesn't have the compute to simulate an entire universe. The speed of light is an artificial limitation added to the simulation to maintain the facade (you can't go there because it doesn't exist..like a skybox in a video game that renders far off horizons which are unreachable).

Because of this no life outside of the solar system exists.
Flipping three or more bits can do this.
Nepotism and in-group hiring is problematic regardless of if it's English Gentlemen or any other group. It's not always bad (it can be very beneficial for historically marginalized groups of people, for example). But it is problematic.

That said, "Indian" is too big of a group. How much does this involve cross-caste versus intra-caste hiring?
JP Morgan Says Startup Founder Used Fake Customers to Dupe It into Acquisition
It still works the same way, just abstracted as individual characters and not specifically the implementations of electrical representations of keys. Every character is stateless, so whatever's before or after doesn't matter. So this means that some operations are a lot easier and a lot harder than they otherwise might be, because while you only have to make a decision for one character at a time, you need to keep an internal state if you want to display characters or do something with them as a whole.
Lightweight Arch-based distro that runs, without root, upon any Linux distro
There's an important distinction between 2 categories in architecture diagrams:

1. Free-form. You have an image of what it should look like. It's precise. An algorithm won't be able to get it right.

2. Structured. You just want to represent the relationships in a clean way, and there's a hundred ways to do that acceptably.

Code/text can never replace the former, and free-form ones are always going to have its place. It's too black & white to say all diagrams should be code or not code.

I'm one the authors of a new text-to-diagram tool, and I wouldn't recommend it for all use cases. Example here of free-form vs structured: https://d2lang.com/tour/future#layouts

We made Terrastruct so you can mix-and-match both, with GUI or code: https://app.terrastruct.com/diagrams/2034296181
One of the funniest board meetings I have ever sat in on was in a recruiting company based heavily in diversity and inclusion. The investor (non-Indian) was listening the Founders (Indian) talk about the advancements we made and showed the talent marketplace (scraped people data).

Lot of folks throw shade because of how small South Australia and its electrical consumption/generation is, but it is a prototype of what the electrical grid future looks like. During sunny and/or windy periods, they run no more than ~80MW of natural gas generation (per electricitymap.org) [1] [2] for frequency response services (previously it was double that, but some synchronous condensers [3] were added to provide the grid services without consuming fuel in the process. A few more batteries and transmission lines, and that last bit of continuous fossil generation should be able to transition to peaker capacity [4].

If your diagram is too complex to maintain as code it is too complex to read.

The diagram is not the kindgdom. And it will never be, that's why you see it is so difficult to generate them automatically from the real thing.

I don't think that source is neither exhaustive nor authoritative. It doesn't tell you e.g. that you have to stop at red lights, which I'm pretty sure you're required to by law.

I'm no expert in US law but I think there's probably at least a dozen separate laws on what is (il)legal, and I'd bet it's more than the 8 paragraphs in the source you linked to

Its still fewer backdoors and more controlled.
I agree. Not only does compliance to stuff like this create bad solutions into contexts where they don’t belong, but they make things worse by making normal maintenance activities capital
projects.

Case in point. A major avenue near me has no lines at all. There’s a small component of a turn lane, that’s it! Why don’t they just paint lines?

Well… the city has to hire an engineer for $900k to send a couple of $25/hr engineering technicians to measure stuff for a few days, then they think about it and produce one or more designs for lanes and signage. The engineers are required to accommodate ADA requirements and offer multimodal options to accommodate bikes, etc. So instead of $20k for stripes, we have a $6M capital project to replace crossings, which requires state and federal highway funds. This was delayed by COVID chip and labor shortages and, is excepted to start in August 2023. (It started in late 2018)

In the meantime, there’s a front end collision 2-3 times a month.
I hope this service succeeds but that particular claim, especially in the light of the articles you shared, makes you seem untrustworthy.
Crashing the program _is_ the defensive posture. Panics -- concurrent map writes or nil pointer dereferences or almost anything else -- usually mean the program state has become invalid. You can't treat them like errors.

Replacing tubes in aerospace heat exchangers seems to be a thing:

https://www.meggitt.com/products-services/heat-exchangers/

"Its innovative design means that single tubes can be easily replaced during overhaul periods, minimising costs to operators.

The operational lifetime of a tubular unit is 3 million flying hours and 50 million Serck Aviation bonded interfaces in the field have never failed."

Even the patent mentions:

"In addition to aerospace applications, the disclosed headers can be used generally in other transportation industries, as well as industrial applications."

But actually I think the spreader could be contained within some kind of bell-shaped header, and not actually attached to the heat exchanger tubes, just immersed in the same fluid. So replacement might be easy.

But any kind of spreader is adding weight compared with an empty header, so not sure if the easing of the fluid flow is worth the weight gain. No doubt this depends on the application.

What does price gouging mean to Jeff? What does it mean to you?
gaming cards are a market with competition (AMD, Nvidia). It is also a luxury. So how do you price gouge? Surely at almost all moments in time both of these public companies have sought to maximize profit, as they are now.
I’ll pay as much as needed… as long as they do not watermark the output (otherwise it’s useless to me)
Practically all the reviewers test these cards on test benches too, which masks the problem with the horizontal card orientation (thus nobody uncovered the issue in the initial reviews).

Test benches are way more convenient than minitowers when you need to regularly swap components.
As much as I like AMD, this is unfortunately true. I never get reference models. The 5700 XT's cooling system was terrible.

I wonder what roles they elimated though. Good question for you to ask
As far as I can tell, layoffs seem concentrated among high-earning folks - I can definitely see how anyone browsing HN would think we're headed straight for a recession. But it seems like overall, and especially in lower-wage jobs, employment is still humming along and people are very much not getting laid off.

That actually really gives me hope for a soft landing - those high-wage folks are much less likely to have serious financial problems like homes getting foreclosed (not to say it's not possible but they're much more likely to have a cushion to keep making payments). If they pull back on their discretionary spending plus stop doing things like driving up housing/car/stock prices by putting money into those things, that feels like it could be the basis for inflation slowing down without a huge uptick in unemployment and everything that comes with it.
No, I don't think I could do that without being transphobic. If there's a way to do that, please let me know though.

I suppose I wonder how much you would need to avoid it. If it is extremely limited and you do most of your own cooking then your intake would be fairly low.
