How would it behave in a place like Chicago where we've had recent weather events that take the temperature from 40F to -10F in a couple of days? Will the system catch up that fast without ducts?

Small nit: the analog DAC circuit has MSB and LSB reversed. That is, the LSB goes into the top 128k resistor. If you think of it one bit at a time, the gain of the circuit = -Rf/R --- where R is one of the resistors in the ladder. (Rf is the feedback resistor, which is unlabeled and un-valued in the article.) Clearly, you get bigger output when R is smaller.
Having a single apple device on an iCloud account sounds like a security risk. I was in a similar situation out of sheer stupidity (new device, went on vacation, forgot unlock code), but I was eventually able to recover using an old linked iPad, the iCloud password, email, and time.

The interesting bit is theives ability to disable FindMy, it's effects, and following sequence of events.
Daikon is way worse than Mitsubishi from what my hvac guy tells me
Totally agree. MSI picked the right default for a PC component sold individually.
The reminds me a piece of CSS I wrote over the weekend for a hobby project. There is a game canvas where the playfield is 16:9 and you always see the whole field (For simplicities' sake think of Pong where it doesn't make sense to display only part of the field and changing the field dimensions to fit the screen dimensions alters gameplay too much). So the problem I came to was "I don't know what the dimensions of the screen are but I know I want this canvas to be 16:9 and fill the screen". Now there are two possibilities at this point 1) just do it in JS 2) find out what wizardry I need to learn today. I went for route #2 for the fun of it.

I quickly found and then ran into issues with aspect-ratio. Either the canvas could get smooshed at certain sizes if I set width: 100vw and max-height: 100vh (despite setting the aspect-ratio) or it wouldn't do anything but be the default 300x150 canvas if not specified. There may well be a way to fix this but I got bored and just as I was switching to write the JS I had couldn't help but think "this feels doable with calc() and min()/max()". So I popped open an Excel sheet, created some random widths and heights, and started messing around for formulas that worked but didn't rely on variables or explicit conditionals. What I came to was:

--Canvas-Width: min(100vw, calc(100vh * 16 / 9));
--Canvas-Height: min(100vh, calc(100vw * 9 / 16));

Which is basically using min() to be the "if we are vertically/horizontally constrained" conditional. At this point since I had the height and knew it was of 100vh I also had a lazy way out on vertically centering with another calc().

It was definitely fun to tinker to a solution but if anyone actually knows CSS and how to make the built in aspect-ratio work the same way on canvas I wouldn't mind hearing it :).

This doesn't actually make any sense to me.

MSI's BIOS falsely reports to Windows that Secure Boot is enabled. This is very different from just shipping with Secure Boot disabled but available. That would be pretty normal (at least of a few years ago) - but shipping with a mode where it is "enabled," and Windows is convinced that it is "enabled," even though it is doing practically nothing - that's an inexcusable situation. Assuming that I interpreted this rather vague statement correctly, of course:

> When we enter the menu, we can see the disappointing default settings. It's doing no verification. It's useless. It's just there to satisfy Windows 11 requirements. OS has no idea that Secure Boot is doing nothing, it just knows that it's "enabled".

As he says, this would totally break UEFI Spec. Secure Boot being available but disabled is OK and common - Secure Boot being available and saying enabled while actually not checking is a violation.

EDIT: Actually... the author may be wrong and, counter-intuitively, it may not break spec. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34407911
Well, that is exactly the problem, as I already explained a few times in this thread. Constructor cannot validate state transitions, so the “with” statement or the block surrounding it will have to do it, breaking encapsulation and likely requiring multiple copies of this code.
While we're ripping on them, let's not forget that Netflix's strategy has left it with a vast library of half-complete series.

Imagine if they had finished, say, The OA, 1899, Glow, Sense8, and a couple of more of the series that had devoted fan bases. In the future, these shows would be a selling point for new Netflix subscribers. Instead, they're just junkyard scrap that almost nobody starts watching, since they know there's no satisfying ending.
Honestly I love the message, but this is just bad writing. The grammar and style are fine, but the narrator and his fare are just cardboard cutouts. The most interesting line in the story is that she was an elevator operator. A snippet of authentic dialog would have gone a long way.

As far as I'm aware, the original unum proposals that Kahan was arguing against have been discarded by Gustafson and all that remains now for current advocacy is the posit type, which is essentially a floating-point type that's fixed-width with a variable-width exponent.

I don't know what the hardware costs of posits look like, since I'm not a hardware engineer, so I can't comment on that. For larger sizes, posits seem to be inferior to IEEE 754 floating-point. For smaller sizes (say 16-bit and smaller), posits may work better, as the limited size means that IEEE 754's scale invariant nature [1] isn't as relevant, and packing more distinct numbers into the same bitwidth is more valuable [2].

[1] Put simply, in a IEEE 754 number, it doesn't matter if you measure your distance in nanometers, meters, or light-years--you'll get the same relative error either way. This is emphatically not the case in posits, where your relative error depends on the scale of the numbers.

[2] Posits combine ±infinity and NaN into a single value, and also does away with -0.0. From a numerical perspective, this is actually pretty cringe--there's a useful distinction there (and Kahan's talk gives some examples here)--but by the time you're at small bitwidths, you're likely limiting yourself to situations where the utility of these special values are questionable.
Do those deserve to exist? Even the most die hard WoT fan would concede that several books could have been cut down significantly, if not entirely. Authors are not getting paid by the word anymore, and they should respect the reader's time.

I'm watching TNG again for the first time in about 20 years and I just have to say, that show aged _extremely_ well.

I think the thing I like most about it, is that it treats its audience with respect. The rough plot of every episode can be followed by almost everyone but they don't dumb down the dialog or keep repeating the main plot points over and over like modern TV. There is almost never any filler and each episode unfolds rather than simply leading the viewer from scene to scene.
It seems like Apple is an "all or nothing" kind of thing. Either you have everything by Apple and it is great, or you have none of it.

A very common reason Apple fans give for why they buy Apple is that all their devices work so well together. And I tend to agree with them. This is their market, they don't want to make efforts to accommodate others.

And why would they? They already have the best market, loyal customers with a lot of money to spend. They don't want to bring in cheap people, offer them a subpar experience because they won't enjoy the benefits of a tightly integrated ecosystem, just to have them complain and never buy again.

Competitors will arrive, and Apple will gladly let them feed on the bottom, but Apple is still safe in its market. And I can't really see the Apple TV serve as a "gateway drug" to the Apple ecosystem like the iPhone can. As for the Apple Watch, like any smartwatch, it is simply too small to stand alone. It is hard to find phones less than 6 inch now, because people want bigger phones for a variety of reasons: bigger screen, better camera, bigger battery, etc... You definitely won't replace it with a 2 inch watch.

The only missing part from your example is supporting custom properties in selectors, which can't really work because custom properties are scoped and cascade, like regular properties.

I'm not sure I totally understand the specifics of the example, but it's probably possible to get something close with the nested selectors spec being worked on now, and/or :is()

> mark zuckerberg and the google founders became wildly wealthy from raw intellect and business cunning

Mark Zuckerberg went to Exeter before going to Harvard. Raw intellect alone doesn't open doors to schools like Exeter. It would also be fair to say that attending Exeter also increased Zuckerberg's probability to attend Harvard, which increased his probability to come across groundbreaking ideas that he could then steal.

How they changed the trusted phone number is the biggest mystery here and the biggest concern. They linked to a HN thread, and I guess by implication they're saying that the phone was unlocked when it was stolen and that is somehow how it was changed?

It is interesting that Apple has no way of viewing phone number histories.
Most people are going to install Windows and Windows works out of the box with secure boot enabled. Most other people will use a popular distribution like Ubuntu or Fedora which work out of the box with secure boot enabled.

I doubt people installing their OS will run into this. Even still, the firmware contains the ability to prompt the user about secure boot failures, so if you're going to neuter it, at least pick that as the default option so people notice.

Instead, my suspicion is that these policies are in place so non-OS firmware can run, such as firmware update tools for upgrading the BIOS itself or perhaps management chips/HDDs/SSDs/peripheral controllers. If I were to lock down my previous laptop with secure boot, HP's firmware updates would no longer be able to run without enrolling their signature keys.
I am in constant bewilderment about all of the talk of saving electricity but still so few homes having a very basic device like heat exchanger.

At its very simplest it is just a box where incoming air is being heated by outgoing air without both getting mixed. It is a bunch of pipes, radiators and two fans in a box.

Whether you heat or cool your house, an open window is energy loss. The heat exchanger lets you keep your house nicely ventilated while reducing those losses due to ventilation by something like 90%.
>You just need a sysroot for that distribution... you actually don't want to compile ON that distribution

We compile in a Docker container of the distro. It's the same concept as having a sysroot.

>as it makes having a consistent toolchain a lot more difficult.

>using the most recent versions of clang and rust and whatever

The external dependencies I mentioned are libraries like glibc or openssl, where you want to use the distro version. Similarly the packages should be consistent with what the users of the distro would build themselves if they used rpmbuild / debbuild / whatever. The toolchain not being consistent across distros is the point.

Also, none of this is relevant to cross-compiling for ARM. As I said, RHEL 7 doesn't have a cross compiler - specifically it has gcc but not glibc, because the cross compiler is only meant for compiling the kernel.
Here's why this really stinks. The writers of Dark wrapped up every mystery. It was through composed from the start and even the choice of 3 seasons was thematically relevant (same reason why the logo is a three sided knot)

We have every reason to believe that 1899 would have connected every one of those mysteries, because the writers planned the whole show out.

But if Netflix is only going to support reality cooking shows or breakaway hits, then we will never see another masterpiece on Netflix again.

I checked out 1899 but then I got busy with my two kids, work, and the holidays. I even gave it two thumbs up. I fully intended to watch the whole thing, probably multiple times because of all the details they put into it. But I need the time and focus to actually sit and watch it (and read all the subtitles)

But I guess according to their metrics, my single viewing of Ep01 hurt more than it helped because I didn't immediately binge the entire show to completion.
You're assuming that the N-th digit of pi can't be computed in sub-linear time, no?
Are you asking why the Daikin Alira X is more expensive in the US? It's because it's not a brand that is normally found here.

If you went with a common US brand you can get a good system with 4 units and a 36,000 BTU heat pump unit for around $6,500 USD installed.

I don't love the wall units - they're pretty ugly, even the new ones. If you're getting a mini-split, the in-ceiling or wall cassettes that are hidden are really the way to go IMO.
Netflix doesn't actually validate the email address you give them, so a limit per-email would do nothing. (I've had my email address be used by strangers signing up for a Netflix subscriptions on four separate occasions, each time by a different person).
I don't think we're that small of a minority. Quite a few people don't actively use any social media, and taking memento photos is an unusual activity for many people, done mostly when going on rare vacations if at all. That leaves purely utilitarian photo taking, like uploading checks or taking a picture to help you remember where you parked your car.

Well, if you know which users are part of this GitHub organisation (their public member list is empty, ironically), you might be able to grab their real emails from their Git commits. What you do with them I'll leave up to your imagination...

The specific user who responded with "we thought long about this update and ultimately as it stands today it is not a change we would like to add" uses their @users.noreply.github.com email for Git, but their employer and hometown are public on their profile, and a quick search gives you the mail address. While I live nearby, I don't intend on paying them a visit, plus it seems to be a shared office highrise, but I might just write them a strongly-worded letter.
Windows 11 requires secure boot to be enabled, at least during install. Perhaps it has something to do with that?
> out of sheer stupidity

I have to push back on this. It's not stupidity to not realize you need another Apple device to have any reasonable chance of navigating their support channels. It's not something they go out of their way to teach you about, until you learn the hard way. Indeed it's an infuriating (IMO) dark pattern.

Don't blame yourself or others - this is on Apple!

EDIT

My personal brush with this was when my wife's phone was lost/stolen/etc and she forgot her iCloud password. Even though she had not one but two active macbooks, the fact that the credit card she'd registered with iCloud caused weeks of delay from Apple. They wouldn't budge unless we entered the original CC number, but their system rejected it due to the expiration. Madness! I'm glad that I had an internal contact - most people would have been locked out for good. These days I use a thinkpad...

The biggest problem is that it would completely kill all of the precomputation style engines do to make CSS matching fast. When you style an element, you don't actually go through the steps of matching it against every rule; but if the selector could change at any time, you basically would have to, and performance would tank completely.

The other issue is that custom properties inherit, so now it's unclear what element you should fetch your var() from (you can't fetch it from the element you're styling, since you haven't computed its style yet). E.g.

.user:has(var(--has-path)) { --has-path: match(.something .else); }
I am sorry but I am having a difficult time understanding your comment. If you are coding in Python, why does the underlying architecture matter at all?
> If I were to lock down my previous laptop with secure boot, HP's firmware updates would no longer be able to run without enrolling their signature keys.

Well that's... really dumb and shows why OEM's are terrible at security, as there isn't a reason I am aware of on why Secure Boot can't trust two keys simultaneously (one for OS and one for vendor). Heck, Microsoft themselves seems to do it with "Windows + 3rd Party UEFI CA."
Absolutely. By orders of magnitude. This is one of those HN comments that comes across as in a bubble or tone deaf.

There’s a difference in the utility and investment value. Lots of people are in the position where they can’t afford a $50k EV repair to keep a car roadworthy or $35k for a new car. Many more can stomach a $5k ICE repair. It may be the difference between getting to work and not for someone who can’t afford a new car. They will still get much more utility out of it even if it’s not worth it on paper.

Not everyone is in a position where they can just decide to buy a new car because it’s the prudent financial decision.
The vast majority of challenges, bugs, complexity, and performance issues in software engineering can be reduced to managing state. State is hard. Immutable state solves a lot of these issues in theory, but in practice mutable state is the tradeoff you must make in many cases to get acceptable performance. The cost of this tradeoff is the increased complexity cost.

A good engineer understands the sweet spot of these tradeoffs. Use functional techniques with immutable data structures in the right places where performance is unlikely to become an issue.
Totally agree with that interpretation. GRRM would seemingly get bored with a story-line or not have a planned resolution so he introduced a new one. Which is fun, I guess, but trying to tie everything back together again becomes impossible.
