Developed a few websites that I do monthly support and maintenance on.

I’m averaging about $600.00 MRR which is down from the $1200.00 MRR I was making for a better part of last year.

The beauty of it though is it only requires about 1-2 hours tops of my time each month though.

Combining both some additional contract work with this MRR outside of my FT job I’m doing about $1500.00 to $2,000.00 month.

Working on a few ways to increase this.

> and all their competitors are a decade in front of them

This feels overly pessimistic to me. I feel like just a couple of years ago people were saying that Tesla was a decade ahead of "legacy" automakers. Fast forward a couple of years and there are lots of great EVs available from a number of legacy automakers, and Tesla's stock is down almost 70% from its peak in Nov 2021. Ford even beat Tesla to market with a compelling pickup. A lot can change in a few short years.

Toyota still hasn't released a compelling EV, and their Mirai looks dubious at best. But they are putting hybrid engines into more and more models, and I think there will continue to be a strong demand for HEVs and PHEVs for years to come, until prices come down on EVs. And of course demand for ICE vehicles is still strong, too.

You could subsidies that by using your batteries to energy to peak load times?

For the GBA, yes, it's recommended. But for the GB, plain Z80 it's far easier.
Factorio had a CVE that allowed RCE in multiplayer servers: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-1161...
we have a long term lease for an IP block. we've considered buying one. They're quite expensive to buy but aren't getting cheaper!
Hydrogen isn't really anything you'd be more keen to sit on top than other batteries, or is it?
Here's a real-world example from my previous job. A process makes two simultaneous requests (we're on a tight dead line here). Here is the enumerated states we have to code for:

send 1,2 -> receive 1, receive 2, process
send 1,2 -> receive 2, receive 1, process
send 1,2 -> receive 1, timeout 2, process, receive 2 (which is ignored)
send 1,2 -> receive 1, timeout 2, process (2 is lost)
send 1,2 -> receive 2, timeout 1, process, receive 1 (which is ignored)
send 1,2 -> receive 2, timeout 1, process (1 is lost)
send 1,2 -> timeout 1,2, process, receive 1,2 (which are ignored)
send 1,2 -> timeout 1,2, process, receive 2,1 (which are ignored)
send 1,2 -> timeout 1,2, process, receive 1 (which is ignored; 2 is lost)
send 1,2 -> timeout 1,2, process, receive 2 (which is ignored; 1 is lost)
send 1,2 -> timeout 1,2, process (1,2 are lost)

You might think that after the process step, we can ignore anything we receive, but we need to make sure we ignore the timed out replies, because this "state machine" is running a few dozen/hundred times a second, depending upon load.

As I was leaving, there was talk of making a third concurrent request. States start exploding here. Maybe if there were languages that made this easy to implement they would be used more often (the code in question was in a mixture of C89/C++98).
> What's changed since then?

Populism is a dirty word.

Progressivism used to mean seeking economic fairness Teddy Roosevelt-style and now it means woke identity politics.

Whistleblowers of any kind have no protections anymore.

Any talk of reforming the system is seen as anti-American by the free market crowd.

GTA V has averaged >100k concurrent players on steam for the last 3 years, so a RCE has a lot of potential targets ripe for exploitation.
But for personal cars it does not make sence, too complicated. Besides, japan has good solar illumonation all year, do theybreally need seasonal storage?
It's a joke about covering webcameras with tape to block it.
Hydrogen automotive technologies are a research scientist’s dream. Basically, it represents life long employment with no need to produce useful results.

Management at many automotive companies likely love it for that reason too, since putting money into it makes it look like they are doing something to change when in reality they are not doing anything at all.

Here is a neat fact about hydrogen vehicles. Fueling them causes the nozzles to cool to below freezing temperatures. Try fueling vehicle after vehicle and the nozzle will freeze to each one. Coincidentally, hydrogen vehicle refueling is a sadist’s dream.
They are building a cable from Australia to Singapore. Going to Japan is in a similar order of magnitude.
It uses AI for flexible meetings. Basically, meeting & task events move around to find open slots to accommodate new events. These flexible events are necessary but not urgent that can easily change based on changing priorities.

Task events are also flexible and move around based on changing priorities.

Basically, makes your and your team's calendar fluid around meetings and tasks that are time blocked

When you train these events and especially recurring events, your calendar arranges itself like magic. This happens because of Autopilot that runs on a daily basis.
I was referring to the books – my primary memories of ASoIF were that the level of violence should mean more desertion and economic collapse back home and unless they just magicked it away there’d nowhere near enough food to survive the promised winter. It’s not like the books didn’t have good parts but I had to consciously suspend disbelief a lot while reading it.

Greenhouses don’t require heating but it’s also a proxy for the questions about urgency: if you knew this was coming, shouldn’t you have people working on every aspect of storage, stretching growing seasons, migrating south, etc.?

NIST actually figured that "electrolyzer at charging station" might actually be most cost-effective option, with combined EV/Hydrogen charging stations.
I would find such a book worth reading, I think. I came to this book expecting to learn about pre-history. I did learn some of that, but I also got a heavy dose of what seems to me to be ax grinding, along the lines of "Most people other than us have gotten pre-history and its accompanying interpretations of politics etc. wrong." That's interesting, doubtless important (assuming other experts don't succeed in shooting down those interpretations), etc., but it's not the book I was looking for. For me, the interesting part was about 25%, and the other 75% more or less got in the way.
I loved PC-BSD, and really think this was a tragedy. I know helloSystem is supposed to be the successor, but it's a bit overwrought in my opinion.

I love FreeBSD as a server and I love FreeBSD as a base for macOS. I wish using it as a desktop was just a little bit easier.

Lithium would just get more expensive in that case, until other materials and techniques (including perhaps hydrogen storage) become more viable.
This merger would leave Seattle with one "regular" grocer chain. We have QFC and Fred Meyer (both Kroger), and Safeway (Albertson's). There are certainly other stores - Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Costco, and various boutiques - but no other major chains. We don't even have a Wal-Mart within the city.
> I didn't know Toyota was a fossil fuel company, or was owned by one?

> Japan is uniquely trying to make this thing work

You have conflated Toyota with Japan there. Even in a society dominated by it's megacorps, they are not necessarily the same thing. After all, Nissan brought us the first mass market EV (and yes, they promptly punted on their first mover advantage).

> Anywhere else on the planet: sure, this might be another way for big fossil to push for relevancy, but in Japan's case, hydrogen would be something that they can produce themselves, literally freeing them from fossil fuel dependency,

Any domestic production of hydrogen in Japan would have to be via water electrolysis with electricity, since they have basically no natural gas production. Since that's the case, why not just use the electricity directly and not pay the 40-50% penalty of electrolysis?

> The very idea of "my car needs to go 300 miles on one charge/tank" just isn't a thing there.

> Hydrogen, despite this article's claim, is actually perfect for Japan.

The first statement contradicts the second, because one of the benefits of hydrogen over batteries is that range isn't much of an issue and refueling is fast. That's why the only place it might be viable in ground transport is in long haul trucking in the US.

In Japan, a 200 mile EV would probably be more than sufficient, even for longer trips, for exactly the reason you state.
How is that evidence it's efficient and incorruptible?

for one, there's a limited number of stalls. It certainly wouldn't be shocking if whoever bribed the government coordinator the most got one of the stalls or if people the coordinators closest friends got priority access to the stalls etc...

I don't know the ideal solution. It might be more fair if there was a raffle for stalls each week. Instead we see the same people in the same stalls. Curious how a new farmer gets in to the market. Do they offer more money than someone already there?
Kroger doesn't even physically exist in the Austin market anymore. H-E-B basically drove them out of the market years ago.

H-E-B and Whole Foods dominate the Austin market. WF because they originated here and there are many locations. H-E-B has a cult-like following in Texas, and are a tier above many national stores (Safeway/etc). They pay well, don't treat their employees like they're disposable, and their in-house brand is oftentimes better than the name brand. H-E-B even is known for being one of the first responders to natural disaster that happen in Texas, they even have their own disaster relief response team. Each store is slightly different in their offers, as they tend to cater them to what people in the area prefer. The list just goes on and on.
All this plus PRC can blockade TW and completely sink their economy (while also straining all the economies that depend on their chips, including their own). In fact, they could even do that without physically invading the island after the C4ISR hit and just wait for TW to cry Uncle and capitulate. PRC has escalation dominance in this arena and without going nuclear, I don’t see the US winning. The solution here is political compromise (as it should have been in Ukraine). Either that or nuclear holocaust.
It's a pity there's no "in popular culture" or what-not section here.

It shows up notably in book #3 of Charles Stross's The Laundry Files: The Fuller Memorandum and is quite a fun little sight in this ever delightful series mixing the occult & geek culture. Hopefully there's many other good references too.
So fun to see hydrogen landing on the front page of HN again. We have a team of software engineers working in a hydrogen company (focused mostly in medium to ultra-heavy duty sectors). Curious if people would be interested in an AMA? For questions we don’t know the precise answers to, like the actual financial modeling for hydrogen use cases where it makes sense, we can also easily pull people sitting, virtually, across the hall.
This is a strange take. Every last program ever written is a state machine.

The number of possible states a program represents is normally very, very large, and the transition rules are very complicated and often mixed up with, e.g., multiplier circuits. So we use familiar programming languages instead, which help to organize it all. A program emulating another state machine tends to raise the question why the (or anyway some) programming language is not being used to manage its complexity.

So in practice we emulate only the simplest of state machines explicitly. A programmer writing such a program is sometimes said to be in a state of sin.
Honestly: The biggest issue I find is finding any women who are single to begin with. I do find women here and they do show up (especially compared to SF) but it’s still shit odds cause they’re always in relationships!

It might be so. Even if the sample text was not part of training material the GPT-3 LLM is just correcting spelling and grammar based on previous words. So, there is no "intelligence", but gets the job done.
Less than one.

If you think you made some grand point, consider that this can be determined in like 10 seconds of internet searching. And in fact you're just further proving my point that supporters have absolutely no idea about actual budgets.

Eliminate all military, and you can increase the UBI from about 15k to 18k per year.

Thanks for mentioning this though, as it's exactly the proof i needed that left wingers really dont know how a budget works.
Americans hatred for their own government is legendary and somewhat bizarre.

It reminds me of the famous clip in Monthy Python: "what have the Romans ever done for us".
The article does start out with slanted language to give a false impression, although most of that is in the incredibly misleading quotes by OK Go band members.

However, even your own retelling is misleading in the other direction, leaving the impression that OK Go is keeping this hanging over the poor company's head: OK Go apparently threatened to sue Post ("Post said OK Go had been quietly threatening to sue for months, claiming that the company had infringed the trademark rights to the band’s name by launching the new on-the-go packages earlier this month.), but didn't actually do so.

But if you look later in the article, you see that this whole thing came to a head only 1 week after their last failed negotiation attempt: But the food company says OK Go rejected that offer last week and made no counter-proposal, leaving Post with no choice but to file a lawsuit. Citing a “clear threat of potential litigation"

So there's no real fire here in either direction; in fact there's no actual story at all. This is just standard procedure that you'd expect to see in any trade mark dispute, done in a regular orderly fashion (hyperbolic PR sound bites notwithstanding).
This feels like another scrum workshop or whatever they teach to non tech managers. Forcing a specific workflow without ever explaining why (context -> containers -> components -> code), not a single mention about the problem domain but just a generic framework you are expected to fit all problem domains into. You learn more about the framework before you learn about the problem. Example:

"Here's a container! It is either a Server-side web application, Client-side web application, Client-side desktop application, Mobile app, etc etc". Okay why? Why are you making this distinction? Why not just call it a web server, a web app, a mobile app? What could this concept of 'container' be so useful that you have to invent it and make everyone internalize it? Does it contribute to the discussion? Are you trying to arbitrarily force labels onto things so you can use the same lingo to talk about every problem?
And for saving them from raging wildfires. (Seriously! Wrapping a structure completely in foil can save it, even when that structure is in a forest with no clearing arund it. I guess it's like baking a potato in hot coals.)
Further to this - they not only want it, but they kind of need it if it's to move the needle. It's a difficult situation. A nice problem to have for sure, but still difficult.
I feel like I'm missing something here, but: the references are two support forum threads and a reddit thread, both of which link back to the referenced twitter thread? Is there any actual confirmation that this RCE exists? What does "partial RCE" even mean?
I similarly find it quite interesting. If you find anything and remember this comment, I'd love to know more!
This isn't right. In the real world every effort saps a little bandwidth from the CEO/top execs, potentially harms the brand, potentially causes the org to calcify. Better off handing the money back.
I lost 10kg in 60 days; I am in my mid 30s. Lots of walks, less calories (but slowly increasing towards my needed range), lots of greens and food tilted towards boiled, roasted, raw food; completely cutting of refined sugar, balancing carb intake, and greatly decreasing oil from life.

Felt good to again not have those belly, love handle, chest, cheek, under-chin, thigh fats after a 3 year gap of COVID years.

Then during new year holiday I was out for ~2 weeks and discipline fell somewhat (but not completely and I was anyway walking like crazy). Gained back 3 kgs and every bloody gram of these kgs came directly for the tummy and love handles. I mean it seemed body has a direct calorie pipe with outlets only around lower torso.

I think walk alone doesn’t cut it. Some muscle mass might help. Gyms don’t light me up sadly. Sports do. Gotta find if there’s one that builds muscle :/
> HN consensus seems to have changed from Google being an unstoppable monopoly to being unable to sustain its business model.

The contradiction is resolved once you recognize that advertising is not productive labor, unlike food distribution. Nobody can beat Google at what they do, but there's ultimately not a sustainable organic need for what they're selling.

I don't think many tech companies are attractive targets for nationalization for this reason.

> There's plenty of negative historical experience with nationalization.

In immature, geopolitically vulnerable economies, often during times of general upheaval. A targeted, degenerative process that is properly incentivized would be different. A "finish line" where getting bought out would be a desirable outcome for most involved.
Batteries are not going to work on things like bigger airplanes, or where you want to transport energy very long distances.

Hydrogen does have niche applications, but it's clearly not a mainstream solution.
These games have tens of millions of lines of code (often building on top of the older components). They are also written in memory unsafe C++, by developers focused on features and rapid sales, to users that look forward to new features not better security.

I won’t be surprised at all if they are filled with vulnerabilities.
Not game specific, but I'll put this here: https://portswigger.net/daily-swig/valve-belatedly-fixes-ste...
That would also be good.

At the moment you need to provide a complete "private key" to each processor, who up the ante to: CC Number + Expiry + Security Code + Name + Address. They all ask for it, so any of them could leak it, or it could be phished.
I'm surprised more exploits aren't being found in games, they're usually thrown together as quickly as possible.
How will you make a battery-powered semi? Tesla claimed to have one then got super-quiet about it.

Do the calculation for joules of power to move a fully-loaded tractor-trailer. Do a joule/kg calculation for modern batteries and calculate the series you get due to the rocket fuel problem (it takes a lot of battery to haul your battery).

You find that the towing capacity of that semi is miniscule vs an ICE engine. Same problem applies to heavy equipment (even if you completely dodge the issue that heavy equipment works out where stable power usually isn't readily available).

Hydrogen offers a solution to this that batteries can't offer.
I swear I read the exact same post here a couple months back and it was also being commented they’re using the post mortem in a smart way for marketing their new thing.
I read this analysis last year about why Japan is so behind with EVs. The number of parts required is less then combustion and Japan's government is concerned about maintaining employment levels

This article talks about the filler jobs and how the economy is stuck in the past.

https://news.yahoo.com/japan-future-stuck-past-220130554.htm...

Annoyingly I can't find the source that went into why they are pushing EVs.

Edit: To be clear that was the hypothesis of the source and they presented evidence that the government that backed it, like stressing job creation and the importance of the automotive industry, but there wasn't a smoking gun.
There are a few issues with that car. https://youtu.be/AouW9_jyZck

On the backdrop of the first thing - the part that caught my eye was "Liquid H2 Tank" which... well... yea.

That's a different approach than a hydrogen fuel cell.

I'll also note that is a German car company and not Toyota (or other Japanese car company).
ZombieSims is a mind-blowing, brain-eating, tour de force Sims 1 fan expansion pack by two of the greatest Sims user created content artists and programmers: Heather "SimFreaks" (who created SimFreaks.com and much of the beautiful content for Sims 1 at http://www.simfreaks.com/index.php including themed play sets like http://www.simfreaks.com/themes/storytime/pirate/index.shtml ) and Steve "SimSlice" (who created SliceCity: SimCity within The Sims at http://simslice.com/Slicecity.htm by programming many interlocking objects in SimAntics, and also many other amazing Sims 1 objects like the weather machine at other cool stuff at http://www.simslice.com/Objects-Electronic.html ).

Heather and Steve were both early Sims 1 fans who each published their own popular web sites with downloadable objects, met through the Sims 1 modding community, then eventually moved in together and got married, and now they've combined their extreme art and programming talents to make an intricately intertwingled collection of Sims 1 Zombie objects, with a whole lot of original artwork and programming!

It is different. Most, if not all, the chat apps I've used before were little more than gimmicky waste of time. ChatGPT, however, is useful. It has changed the way I work. The last app that changed the way I do my work was Google search. ChatGPT helps me with email, memos, proofreading, and idea generation. I suspect there will be more uses, but even if that's it, it offers a lot of utility. It is a big deal. My suspicion is that a lot of apps will eventually use the GPT API to enhance their functions. It's only going to get more useful as people find new uses.

Dr. Goodenough’s new battery design allows people to use either sodium or lithium. Given that the entire world has adopted his previous battery designs, I would not be surprised if sodium based batteries are next. Sodium is so incredibly prevalent in the earth’s crust that scarcity should not be a problem.
