If that is a thing that bothers you, one of the people that made sure that the Bundeswehr never recovers was that corrupt von der Leyen. She was MoD, funnelled a bunch of money to her McKinsey son, and then went on to become the head of European Commission. With someone like that at the helm of the EU, you don't need enemies.

The sibling comment mentions Germany's nuclear policy. It's worth noting that Germany at the EU tried to lobby against nuclear to deprive France out of EU support for Green energy. They have an irrational hate for nuclear energy, but it's not limited to nuclear energy. Somehow the once antiwar Green party has become the party of warmongering and coal lobbying.

Germany during the Kohl administration shut killed fibre optics infrastructure projects to fight the influence of public TV and promote cable TV. [1]

So this is at least 4 decades of ideological mismanagement. I'd say the respect for German infrastructure is the work that has been done after the war up until then.

"We have an error-proof system" ... yeah, no you don't. Especially if you're using ML.
It’s more effective to bring solar online sooner because it’s providing power every month after being installed thus providing a longer window to stockpile natural gas. However, while output is lower in December it’s still useful for December, January, and February and then continues to provide power into the future.

The EU is very much still concerned about having enough natural gas for next winter.
Lighting regulations haven't kept up with changes in the technology used to produce electric light. Most LED headlights are much bluer than the halogen bulbs the automotive companies started using in the 1960's.

I think we're all casualties of a sort of trench warfare. Luxury brands started putting High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps in their high-end cars in the 1990's. HID lights put out more blue than halogen light bulbs. This led to the association of blue-white headlights with expensive cars. I suspect the marketing departments of the automotive companies told their engineers to use blue-white LEDs when these first became available.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp#...

No one had the answer to my AskHN: What prevents the automotive industry from using safe LEDs? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27334405

Another problem is people retrofitting LED bulbs into housings that were designed for halogen bulbs. The fine print on these bulbs usually say "for off road use only". The LED bulbs have a totally different light output than the halogens. The housing for the halogen bulbs are designed with the assumption that there will be a filament at a precise location. LEDs retrofit into a housing designed for a filament usually just blind everyone on the road.

I've also seen people driving around with LED light bars turned on. I don't think it's legal to add supplemental light to a vehicle.

I have a few self-defense strategies to protect my eyesight. Mainly this is wearing yellow glasses whenever I'm likely to be exposed to blue-white LEDs.

> Most of the problems with indoor pollution can almost certainly be more cheaply mediated by adding building codes requiring venting range hoods.

As houses become increasingly more energy efficient, the cost of providing conditioned air only increases. Venting that air willy nilly to the outside has a real financial and climate cost.

All rangehoods in new construction should be mandated come with sensors that auto adjust the power based on detected particulate levels. With the old school dumb rangehoods, most people never bother constantly touching a bunch of oil smeared buttons to adjust the speed and just have it on full blast the entire time. You save a couple of hundred dollars going with the non-sensor version but its a false economy as it silently increases your HVAC bill and ERV filter replacement costs over time.
If cooking on entirely flat surface, the parchment paper method described in other comments works well, though it's precarious with larger or heavier pies, need two people to avoid having the parchment paper spill out. If cooking in a cast iron pan, I just preheat the pan in the oven, and have all the ingredients set aside and dough prepared, and when the oven is ready, pull out the pan, put pan on stove top, lightly oil, and put dough in pan, and then put toppings on it fast and insert in oven. This works for the dough recipe I use, YMMV.
Speaking as someone whose life has been saved several times by a Dexcom G6 (for whatever role they had in that one), and is looking forward to the Dexcom G7 (which they seem to have a larger role in), I'm pretty grateful for their big ideas.
It’s growth hacking!
So your argument is parental pearl-clutching will kill VR, despite that fueling the early market, because manufacturers don't want kids using it in the first place? Even though the wide adoption among young early-adopters is fueling its initial growth and the potential for tech/price to penetrate beyond niche casual/kid gaming to mainstream markets remains?

I recommend you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Chasm the first early adopter market isn't the only thing that matters to a new technology but it's essential for survival.
> It would be easy for them to murder him in his bathtub like another terrible autocrat long ago, but they prefer to stay loyal to him even while he destroys their country.

No, it wouldn’t. Even if it was and let’s say they do it, then what next? Do you assume that some kind-hearted leader will just fill in the power vacuum instead of war hawks like Yevgeny Prigozhin and Sergei Shoigu?
Lane change + braking is extremely scary.

I rear-ended a woman who did that to me. When she cut in front of me in my lane there was not nearly enough distance between us for me to fully stop when she then suddenly braked.

I'm not sure what I really was even supposed to even do in a situation like that — I suppose as soon as she cut over I should have just assumed the worst was coming and hit my brakes right away?
Agreed. Looks like they're using a half silvered mirror for the real world pass-through which was a technique used by early arcade games like Space Invaders that projected black and white graphics over a painted background.
What is the Linux equivalent to Foundation Framework?
Except that's the status quo. These days, all but the most intense of medical procedures is being done by increasingly less qualified people.

Nurse too expensive? Get a CPA!

Most of the time I go for checkups I see a CPA for the majority of the time, a nurse for less, and almost no time with a doctor. Excepts are usually for surgery or other intense operations.

This idea of "just let less holistically trained people do the work" honestly sucks. Dentists are better on average at teeth cleaning than dental cleaning specialists. MDs are better on average at putting IV needles in, etc
Forced upgrade on reboot, my personal favorite.
Curiously... certain twitteratti and other influencers got right on that boat on cue to promulgate how bad gas ranges are. So one commish starts a snowball that grows into an avalanche...

So you're right, if it were only one commish in the forest no one hears... but apparently many heard his signal and hit the gas --and that sudden lurch alerted people not on that wavelength that something weird was going on. That's the hubbub, not that one commish has some opinion.
Ask HN: What defines a popular OSS maintainer for free GitHub Copilot?
Edit: It turns out I supposedly do get free Copilot after all - must have been a syncing hickup.

I have write access on two >1k star repos, and multiple >200 star repos. Apparently that's enough to get free Copilot.

I'd love to hear more examples of who does and does not qualify for a free subscription.

This is how vaguely Github describes the criteria:

>People who maintain popular open source projects receive a credit to have 12 months of GitHub Copilot access for free. A maintainer of a popular open source project is defined as someone who has write or admin access to one or more of the most popular open source projects on GitHub.
See here for the FAQ: https://github.com/pricing#faq-copilot
yes, but we already have a network of asphalt, not rails.
Have you tried applying at profitable companies that don’t depend on VC funding or larger, established enterprises?

Consider boring, stable companies for this macroeconomic chapter.
There are also significant performance and behavior differences between the two.

They are not inter-changeable, nor can one replace the other.
Even if that's the case, it certainly gives them the ability to pull the rug out from under you at any point in time

OPNSense running on a mini pc, with a separate AP for WiFi. OpenWRT is good too.
Thanks for the delicious reminder of how good those are! Nice to hear they're still competitive with pizza prices! I only eat once a day, since before college, so breakfast foods were like a sort of yearned-for delicacy in my world, especially at 3am in Brooklyn. That or cheap dumplings if I was anywhere near Chinatown. Hot corn muffin from the street vendor out my door if I was absolutely hung over and needed something in the morning...

Back on the west coast, the price of a breakfast burrito at my local cart has almost doubled since covid, and the burrito got smaller. My conclusion is that burritos are a scam. The contents of the classic round breakfast sandwich are much harder to fake.
I find the code-based drawing tools to be a little finicky for my taste, and the compilation pipelines turn into a real pain if you want to, say, embed a .png in a markdown file and just have it display in your Git web interface of choice (obviously GitHub's Mermaid support helps if you're in that environment).

My preferred workflow is to use draw.io's PNG support. They embed the draw.io data into the PNG's chunks, so a regular image viewer opens it fine but you can directly edit the file in draw.io. If you have Git set up to diff images, that also "just works" when reviewing the history. Plus, there's an excellent draw.io plugin for VS Code that embeds the editor right into VS Code and will transparently open and save "foo.drawio.png".
The car behind the pickup truck had almost 0 stopping distance. To me, it looks like the pile up could have been prevented there too. Good reminder to keep a safe distance.
I buy the ingredients in bulk at a warehouse store and freeze the stuff that normally goes in refrigerator to prevent spoilage. Both meat toppings and cheese would mold if I left it in the refrigerator too long.
>"God I wish we could just do a Land Value Tax and be done with it."

Can you say what this is and how it would address the housing situation?

The housing bubble certainly is a slow moving one at this point. It seems like there's still not a lot of inventory and prices are still at historic highs. Prices haven't come down although price growth has slowed. It's really quite bizarre. We're a mobile a society though, eventually people have to move for various reasons. Maybe people are going to hold on their mortgage and rent the house instead of selling? It's hard to see how all this plays out.
Similarly, I know people who don't take their owed vacation and build up to the "max" and wind up having to take several weeks off at a time or lose it. In a job without accrued vacation, they simply don't even earn it in the first place, and don't get paid out for it if they are let go.

Cynical me thinks this is a precursor to layoffs in order to get the debt off the books and not pay out anyone that gets "downsized" in the end.
Somehow I imagine this as a "Twitch Plays Pokemon" kind of a living codebase (or at least one branch of it). I saw an "export three = 1 + await @someone.add(1, 1)" and due to my love of open source, contributed to the wonderful mathematics library by implementing "export six = await @otherperson.three * 2". Curious to see how long a "leftpad" situation arises and breaks math :)
There is a reason that blocked-off HOV lanes are used: research has shown that slugging[1] will form spontaneously- and achieve the goal of actually reducing total number of car trips- it seems to need a bunch of things[2], and one of them is the HOV lanes be blocked off rather than easily accessible. Barrier separation discourages cheating, which in turn rewards drivers who carry slugs rather than just cheat, and rewards slugs with faster, better commutes. But the general consensus of road designers is that you need barriers on your HOV lanes to get slugging, and that without those barriers you don't really see as much of a reduction in car-trips- you will see some increase in planned car-pooling, but the slugging is where much of the reduction comes from, because its so much more convenient for everyone to do it anonymously at your own pace rather than having to tether you schedule to 1-2 specific other people. (One of you has a doctor's appointment? One of you has a sick kid? One of you oversleeps by 15 minutes? Now you are all screwed, one way or another. One of you can't get to work, and the rest of you can't take the HOV lanes. Planned car-pooling just doesn't seem to work long-term.)

Note that all of the research I'm aware of is US based, and I have no idea whether it generalizes to other cultures.

1: http://www.slug-lines.com/slugging/about_slugging.asp

2: Houston's Katy Freeway went from HOV-3 to HOT-2 (and from 1 lane to 2) and seems to have gutted its slugging culture. People weren't willing to get into a strangers car anonymously by themselves (or have a single stranger in their car), it looks like 3 people, all strangers, is culturally different from 2. Also, HOT lanes seem to weaken slugging, even in DC where it was most strongly entrenched, the switch to HOT lanes seems to have weakened the culture, because people say 'I'll just pay today' rather than pick someone up. So it can spontaneously form, and when it does can be quite powerful, but is very fragile.
Trains are great for moving lots of people efficiently and quickly from one place where they don't want to be to another place where they don't want to be.

Hate to break it to you, but it passed into the mainstream years ago.
1. mobile gaming bounces back

I think their point being that, being adaptive, it lulls you into a sense that "oh, the system will see the car ahead slowing down and will slow down my own car for me."

Older "dumb" cruise control you had to be ready for the brake at all times — there was no need to second guess the system.
Is it possible to ship to India ? Unfortunately I don't see it in the checkout page.
When a company I previously worked at went "unlimited vacation" and effectively tossed all accrued vacation time, a coworker started taking literally every Friday off as PTO to make up for the vacation time that was dumped. Having a 4-day 32hr week might be better than vacation in some ways.
Is self-service Terraform
as you describe actually successful? I use Terraform frequently and I have zero confidence that this process works except for the simplest changes.

For one, building out anything of complexity in Terraform often involves some trial and error to make sure all the resources are wired together correctly.

For two, there are some Terraform changes that can incur downtime if you just let Terraform destroy and create resources. The solution I employ for this is what I not-so-affectionately call "Terraform surgery". It usually entails standing up the new resource(s), cutting over to them, and then destroying the old ones. Sometimes I will manually remove some stuff from the state file and delete it once Terraform has performed the cutover.

That stuff is possible to do in CI, but it would be inefficient and painful.

To me, the biggest benefit of Terraform is managing changes to cloud resources. You know what resources are added when, why, and by whom. You have a mechanism for promoting changes between environments confidently. And if your infra ever blew up, you would be able to put stuff back.
The fundamental problem is that everyone already has home internet and phone plans. Why would they pay for another service that is not as good? On top of that, most operators were likely violating their TOS with their existing internet provider by making a paid access service on top of it.
I used a simple challenge-response protocol. It asked the device to sign a message to authenticate itself. I then listened to udev announcements to lock the machine if the device was unplugged.

It was more of a toy than a serious security device, and it would certainly need a lot more review before I recommend others to use it, but it was a fun exercise.
on the cheap side (for a decent one).

Rust is pretty often chosen also in places where performance is not that critical. It has a good ecosystem, a good type system, native builds and great performace. Those factors make it a good choice in places where you'd be just fine even if it was slightly slower. If Swift loses by a small margin — and Swift is a high performance language too — it could very well edge out Rust with ergonomics.
Why is this being downvoted? Intent isn't everything. While it is important, design flaws are worth getting the book thrown at you over.

UK doesn’t supply 100% of electricity from natural gas only 38.5% and they continue to produce natural gas in the winter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_the_Unit...

Let’s suppose the deficit is 40% of natural gas which represents a daily deficit of ~40% * 0.385 = 15.4% of electricity generation. So that 9 TWh represents 9,000 / 700 / 0.385 / 0.4 = ~83 days which is already quite close to spring without any additional imports. But, I am also suggesting bringing more power generation online which further decrease the gap.

PS: Even just 3% of total daily electricity being covered by new generation that ~83 days to ~104 days, again before considering any extra imports.
Have had both employer provided Kaiser and Aetna. Aetna was awful while Kaiser was great. Aetna made us jump through all kinds of hoops to get a simple prescription (not pain meds) while it was only a quick phone call with Kaiser. In fact, while in great pain we had to wait for over 8 hours with Aetna to even talk with someone before we gave up and went to GoodRx and got the help we needed nearly instantly. I don't really know where I'm going with this, but I have to say there's a wide discrepancy between employer provided health insurance. I had ACA and it was actually really good! No or low copay (less than $10) and was always able to get ahold of someone when I needed it.
I dispare, what happened to general knowledge/education—even if the camera owner had never previously seen a film camera?

Tragically, this has to be a quintessential example of the entropic nature of knowledge. I've often thought it wouldn't take much disruption to society to bring on a new dark age, and worrying stories like this seem to confirm my fears.
All of Elon Musk's grand ideas for revolutionizing terrestrial transportation (that aren't laughably unworkable like miles long vacuum enclosures) are just 'trains but much smaller and with tires so that we lose all efficiencies and gain all of the drawbacks'. So this fits perfectly.

I've seen some of these checks require credit cards (the networks will tell you if the card you are checking the authorization on is debit or credit). Requiring a credit would seem to imply an interest in some indirect value of a credit report. It could also just be a way to avoid people using some of the prepaid debit cards you can buy in drug stores, of course, but I think that's still somewhat related to concept of "has credit reportable relationship with a bank".

I don't know, how well rested in SpaceX, but I know, this is highly regulated work.

People in space industry working at shifts, if night, than usually next 24h rest. It is just impossible, to save good concentration without rest.

Yes, usually they are one team, but everybody have duty, usually one night shift every 3 days (all other day shifts).

Also, their shifts usually moving, ie Mon 07-15, Tu 15-23, Wed 23-07 (exact time other this is just illustration).

And also, I've seen semi-shifts, ie Mon 07-15, Tu 15-23, Wed 23-07, and second team Mon 11-19, Tu 19-03, Wed 03-11, so there are no moments, when all present have not already drink coffee.

And all operations heavy documented, so when shifts change, they don't need to make significant duty-transfer procedure.
I would like to understand why Germany loves Russia so much, despite what's happened over the past year.

There was all kinds of funny business with Nordstream, Manuela Schleswig's fishy "foundation", and more. I can understand Schroeder - he's just getting paid by Putin every year. But Scholz? It seems that every month he makes up a different reason why Germany can't properly support Ukraine. A few helmets and kevlar vests and a handful of Gepards without ammunition, but Leopard 2s? God no, we couldn't possibly do that, it might hurt Putin's feelings! It seems he wants to give Ukraine just enough to watch them slowly bleed out.

Is it just that Putin is paying off most of the German politicians, and has been doing so for years? I guess they're pretty cheap to buy, and they're completely shameless about it - just look at Schroeder.
> Side tangent, I love watching car crash videos.

Your and my YouTube feed algorithms....

They kind of creep me out when it is a crash that was not avoidable. But, boy, most of the crashes have me talking to the computer display, "What are you thinking? You have no stopping distance at all, I know exactly what's coming up in about 3 seconds!"
