As opposed to Facebook seeing my messages and selling data? What am I not understanding here?

You can’t have privacy and still communicate through any form of instant messaging. Don’t tell me about some oss platform that no one uses.

I text because I don’t like social networking sites. If my message fails to send, I get an error. I don't get to send gifs, high quality photos, or see when people are typing back but that's a small price.
If chat apps all used email as the backbone to their messaging, sure.

I can't turn up my spreadsheet just this second but I did something similar when I worked in Manhattan. I did 54 slices. My big takeway was that I really don't like Joes and that I will die on the hill that Pizzeria Suprema, despite being touristy , is the best slice that I've had in Manhattan.
Dollar slice is a dollar for a reason. Barely any cheese or sauce.

Those are some of the most routinely and carelessly broken of all driving rules, which is really saying something. Being a pedestrian in a large city that allows right on red is scary as shit, I've had more close calls that way than everything else combined. The only thing that comes close is uncontrolled crosswalks across four lanes. Which also should not exist.
I'm saying if you ever exceed the speed of a lane next to you, a vehicle in that lane can force you to crash.

insulation-displacement-crimps are not a good idea for the relatively high amounts of power coming through household wiring. Not much contact area, lots of potential for high resistance and heat and oxidation at the contact point. I wouldn't trust them.

Then again, wire nuts aren't that great either.
I think text generators will do two things: reduce the average quality of published text, and reduce the average text writing skills. It thus increases the value of writing skills. I count that as a win.

Funny you mention it, as it also had ADUPS. By itself, I can deal with that.

Actually it more resembles the CopyCat malware. My challenge is finding the hook in system_server that downloads the payload from C2.

Yah in most cases 2x200 is the step up from 200. The reason being is your wire that runs your 200A service isn't big enough to carry 400A, so you would need to tear it out. Why tear it out a perfectly good wire when you can just run another?

My house is a really big house built in the 50s. It was initially 2x100A service as I don't think 200A service at home was really a thing. It had 2 meters and everything. Sometime in the 80s they tore out the feed from the pole and put in a proper single 200A line, and just left the second meter as defunct.

That’s not just NY. I suspect it’s basically all of the US.
Seconded, cannot relate. They're worth the $6 or whatever but not a penny more. Better than most $6 frozen pizzas, I suppose. They have that going for them.

They're also a good example of this, actually. They'd held their $5 price point for a long time but had gradually been cutting toppings until they were comically bare. Then they introduced a $6 "extra toppings" (or something, I don't recall the way they phrased it) pie that just had the same amount the normal ones used to.

Post-Covid I'm pretty sure the sad-pie price is up to $6, and the actually-has-toppings edition is $7.
> Maybe I'll visit a makerspace? Ah, but every one in my area appears to have gone defunct since Covid year zero.

Yes. I miss TechShop, where I did CNC machining. It's not all that difficult. Maybe 100-200 hours to minimal competence.

What's left of the maker movement seems to have been taken over by little old ladies into crafting. Gluing construction paper and macrame, not machining and welding. Activities classes for middle schoolers where they assemble kits, not original work. In the early days of TechShop, it was people making rocket engine nozzles for the X-Prize, and people who commuted to Shenzhen to get their stuff made in volume. Four Bridgeport mills, all going at once.

I find the perceived sensitivity to food pricing, especially in high income areas like NYC, interesting.

The author points out that in 8 years, the average cost of a slice of pizza has hardly moved, but the amount of sauce on them has been reduced as a cost cutting measure.

Would a pizza place really see reduced traffic if they kept the same recipe and raised their price another $0.55 to compensate for inflation?
This issue is about microservices because the one alternative to this DB-level data sharing is having proper RPCs (or more specialized things like pubsub in some cases) between cleanly separated services. If logically separate things are sharing data through the DB itself, you will get a mess even if you're very careful, which they were.
Show HN: OpenAI Integration in Text Expander Software
PhraseExpress manages frequently used text snippets for use in any application, e.g. help desk, medical transcription - Wherever you have to type in the same text over and over.

We now integrated the amazing OpenAI technology which can help users to rewrite/translate their existing phrases in different styles or languages, check grammar, change gender, pronouns, etc.

It can also be used to generate new phrases by just describing the purpose.

We totally fell in love with this new feature - Please let us know what you think!

I lived in Manhattan for the last year, and lived within train distance as a child, and it's pretty striking how much changing economics affect what you can get.

Notice that all the slices are plain CHEESE or some variant of it (you can get it with no sauce, or no cheese too!)

I can't get a mushroom or veggie slice anymore at so many places? Feels like a recipe for malnutrition and weight gain.
There's a flag set in hardware when /INT is asserted. At this point you can smack /INT around all you want, you're not getting any more interrupts firing.

Once you're done you clear the flag, either explicitly in the CPU's "condition code register" in some chips or by using a specific "Return from Interrupt" opcode that works like a "normal" subroutine return but clears the flag.

We use the analogy of a doorbell to describe interrupts a lot. In truth it's like if your doorbell could only be rung once, until you open and shut the door.

I object to this version because in my view "Jessica" is and always was a man. I understand that not everyone sees it this way, but that's the way I see it. I view biological sex to be a real fact about the world and it is unambiguously binary.

Also, I take the words of the Bible seriously: "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.” (KJV)

During the time I knew him, Steve was married to a woman and focused on becoming a father. He himself would have described himself as a man.

Finally, the fact that Steve was "on the spectrum" is central to understanding him fully, and the fact that he transitioned is telling because a surprisingly large percentage of men who transition in midlife are extremely intelligent and are on the spectrum. I believe that including the details about his personality and his transition allows a fuller picture of the man to snap more coherently into place, while also shedding light on the current cultural moment.

Also, I simply don't agree that using pronouns that align with a person's biological sex is analogous to using the n-word, and I'm sorry that you feel that way.

I mean no offense to anyone (although I won't go out of my way to stop people from taking offense where none is intended) and there is no engineer I have ever held in higher regard than Steve/Jessica. I saw him pull off absolutely mind-bending feats of engineering and if I had to bet then I would say that every time he put his foot down and died on a hill over an engineering disagreement that he was absolutely in the right from a technical point of view.
Somebody rewrote an app in Swift -> the app is slower.

Somebody rewrote a library in Swift -> the library is faster.

There's a lot to talk about and unpack here. My experience is that people develop a different mindset when they do library development, because any code that they write will be code that they're forced to support for decades to come. You put bad code in an app and you can simply rip it out with the next revision, no questions asked. So you are much more likely to end up with questionable code in an app than in a library.

I'm also old enough to remember not only the same complaints when people were rewriting apps into Objective C (lots of early Mac OS X apps were Carbon, including Finder), but when the same complaints were made about rewrites from assembler into C. Every decade your computer has a hundred times more computing power and your code takes 10x as much footprint, so you come out ahead, on average. It's just that any given year you might come out behind.
Years ago the GCC FAQ had an entry for a strange compiler error, that pretty much was only triggered by overclocking or memory errors. I just looked and couldn't find it.
To see how much havoc such a core change causes for Nix package builders, please see my troubleshooting report on building Postgres in Nix [1].

BTW, my conclusion was that Postgres, as distributed by the Nixpkgs, is untested because they very likely never bothered to run `make check`. And hence I would not recommend anyone to rely on it for production use.

The linked booklet specifically refutes that idea, calling out Australia and Greece in particular but implying the problem is much broader.
My understanding was that the early versions of jsMath/MathJax started by converting LaTeX to MathML in the brief few years of relatively common browser MathML support and still uses something very like MathML for internal representations and still supports MathML as the output format.
Surely it takes quite a bit of perseverance to try all the things that don't work until you find the things that do work. The false starts and dead ends all count towards the process.
> ... and grounding to plumbing used to be permitted

Do you have a citation for this?

I was under the impression that using plumbing as equipment ground was never allowed, but that conductive plumbing has required to be bonded to ground for some time. I was further under the impression that by code, plumbing repairs couldn't leave behind unbonded sections of conductive plumbing.

I wanted to use ToolJet in my company, but SSO has been playing an important role for my company's security and compliance needs, even though we have only around 100 people. I'm getting lazy to adopt any product that doesn't provide that to me (for a reasonable price).

In the case of no/low-code tools, Budibase[1] offers SSO on its open source edition, which makes it easier for me to adopt it and gain confidence in the product before committing to an enterprise plan with obscure prices and shady sales techniques.

But it's a shame, since the competitors in this space are awesome (ToolJet, AppSmith, NocoDB, Baserow, etc) but rarely consider SSO as a simple and basic feature. They usually put SSO as an enterprise feature in the highest price tier possible.

Btw, Grist[2] is another honorable mention in this space with open source support for SSO.

In my town the temperature dropped to like 15 degrees on Christmas Eve and due to demand one of the substations exploded. There were about 10,000 people without power from 10am to 10pm on Christmas Eve. That additionally caused a lot of commercial buildings to have pipes burst which depressurized the water system. That caused main underground water lines to collapse and around 5k people had no water for 3 days. Similar events happened in a few other areas as well.
> The Fair Tax would increase inequality in the USA by shifting the burden of tax payment onto the poorest.

So there are some provisions to address this:

- basic rebate: every person gets a rebate corresponding to a base amount of tax paid; this is intended to ensure poverty-stricken folks are not taxed out of subsistence (HHOS). This is like earned income credit but it’s streamlined so the bureaucracy is minimized and there is no magical cutoff. It’s optional so progressive types can refuse it.

- tax only first sale: only new goods and services are taxed. resale is not taxed. However this does mean direct services are taxed and that may be unpleasant for those who earn by invoicing for service (lawyers, truck drivers, etc). OTOH consumable things like food, disposable diapers, etc will always be taxed

- Only the federal individual income tax is repealed and outlawed. There’s plenty of taxation schemes left and some even applies to wealthy individuals and corporations.

I question your explanation of “rich get richer, poor pay for everything”, it doesn’t seem obvious. Hedge funds serve a purpose or they wouldn’t exist, but you seem to imply they only serve to pull money out of the economy. That at least would be deflationary, but AFAICT it seems like the appreciation of hedge funds at least creates wealth that gets put to some use in further capitalization. Which grows the economy, so I scratch my head at your characterization.

Furthermore “the poor pay for everything” seems like it could be substantiated only if the actual amount corresponding to the 100%+ you claim the poor will pay exceeds the amount corresponding to the 1%-10% the rich will pay such that the latter is lost in the noise. The reality even in the current tax scheme is the rich pay for everything eventually (even more so in California, the pinnacle of benevolent taxation, up yours Franchise Tax Board).

Unfortunate because with a protocol first mindset interoperability is easy, the app first mindset makes interoperability almost impossible.

People are on their phones more than any other device. I want the person to be able to read from their phone and having an app would be a more pleasant experience for the user.

However, I do think it is wiser to start off with a website first. So yes, it'll be a website first, and then transition into also being an app.

I have a dream in which we are all marathon winners. We are done running. We have medals and confetti and cake. It’s a joyous time, and whether we finished the race in four hours or fourteen hours doesn’t matter, because we have all finished it. That’s my dream!

Right now, though, right now some of us are moving at a good pace, while others aren’t even moving in the right direction. Some of us are incapable of moving on our own. Others are being held back. Helping those who are struggling most right now makes sense, right?

You wouldn’t interrupt a marathon to object that encouraging the slowest runner isn’t fair, since the dream is for everybody to have a medal and cake.
One of the biggest current methods of "demand response" is shifting HVAC loads from large commercial buildings: pre-heating or pre-cooling by a few degrees, and then lessening the HVAC activity during the peak time. This can be done at the residential level with devices like a Nest thermostat, and be overridable by the customer if they don't want to save the $0.25 or whatever.

Water heating is even easier to implement this way, but requires smarter water heaters.
I'd never defend Little Caesar's as amazing pizza but it does exactly what it's supposed to, i.e. hits the spot when you're looking for primal satisfaction of a craving for a greasy pile of dough and cheese. When I want "real" pizza I walk down the street for something Neapolitan or NY-style but if I'm hanging with a large group of friends and feel like pigging out then I see nothing wrong with going all-in for some Deep Deep Dish from LC.
The Makefile syntax is beyond cryptic. And I'm speaking as someone who used the autoconf/automake chain for years to build software. The author only made a simple example that requires downloading, transforming and uploading a file. Try and do something a bit more complex, deal with m4 macros, maybe the autoconf syntax, and you'll feel like you're back in the 1970s.

Don't get me wrong: make has been a loyal friend for most of my life. I've built a lot of software using make and the whole auto* build chain. And the author doesn't even mention it's biggest strength point: portability. Every single machine with a UNIX-like system has make. But I have to admit when some technology is ready for retirement. More modern alternatives exist today. Cmake is the most obvious, Bazel is also a promising one. Even simple shell scripts can do the job for easy things.
You may be contacted by them and they'll explain their different offerings. The "cool vendor" listing is free if they think you're a "cool vendor". You'll have a call with their analysts who'll ask you all kinds of questions.

They have resources on their website that will help you prepare these calls and reduce the time it takes you to make the most out of the calls.

Tip: you may want to name your product/company with a letter that gets on top when listed alphabetically, as their vendor list is sorted alphabetically.

You may also look up Forrester and see if it's worth it to you.

Large Language Models Encode Clinical Knowledge

https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.13138
One major difference between 3D printing and CNC is that 3D printing is standardized and simple enough that the steps from a 3D model to a printout are mostly automated. The workpiece is held by sticking to the print bed, print paths are autogenerated and layer by layer.

With CNC, you have to figure out how to hold the workpiece, often with multiple setups (which have to be done precisely), machining strategy (toolpath design) is non-trivial and depends on the exact tools you have (so not trivially automated), and it requires quite a bit of knowledge to properly design a toolpath.
A look at the 2022 velocity of CNCF, Linux Foundation, and top OSS projects
`2` in this case is a design token that is defined in a theme, that would resolve to a length defined in a CSS unit (ideally rem).

How would you handle a design change where a size becomes required that fits between "small" and "medium"? These things happen throughout the lifetime of a project.

Opaque numerical design tokens may not be the most explicit to understand, but they allow for expansion.
I strongly recommend `just`. I used it successfully with projects written in OCaml, Rust, Go, Elixir and Lua. Define a few tasks, give them 1-2 character aliases, profit.

Super ergonomic.

Though I have to admit, Go and Rust projects hardly needed `just`; the `go` program and the `cargo` tool are that good. I used `just` in them mostly to have short aliases and common names for tasks.
