Transparency in terms and branding is a really good idea, but it's probably insufficient. In this scheme, devices marked "A" will effectively be restricted to people with the time to manage local infrastructure--recording cameras, for example, will eventually have disks fail, and at that point the repairs are likely beyond more than a subset of people. Probably a small one, at that.

Cloud stuff is here to stay. We deserve clarity in what does use cloud stuff, but we also need legislation that puts a proper fear into bad actors who make expansive promises (and, likely, stronger liability applied to shipping software that needs patching).
Yeah, I was looking at the cassete-combo version of the Sturmey Archer 3-speed, but I believe it would be obviously better if the top gear was direct connection (100/70/50% ratios, not 133/100/75%).

You really don't want your queue more than 70-80% utilized. Once it gets to 75% you should consider that "red zone" and you need to fix it somehow. Once the queue is 80% you're really hitting into some issues. Above 80% and you will have significant problems.
I agree with author on the point that queues are best to handle spikes. But when you are talking about scale dealing with millions of messages in short span of time for extended period, queues can never remain empty. Empty queues in this situation would mean that your concurrency is high. When your concurrency is high, this would result in too many concurrent connections to your database which wouldend upcreating bottlenecks for your system.

The system should be designed to handle as many messages as possible ensuring that your resources don't get over burdened. Empty queues where your messages keep getting rejected because your resources are being hammered is not necessarily an efficient system.
Yeesh, I just want some web components, okay?

They may have gotten the ball rolling around 2009, but today the EU accounts for only a small portion of solar installs. In 2022, the EU was about 15% of the global solar new installations.

Now, in wind, Europe is still leading.
Building desktop apps remains a chore. A lot of crossplatform frameworks are promising (Electron, Flutter, etc) but ask any developer building series enterprise applications in those tools how fun it is and they will tell you it is not encouraging.

Yes, I thought about the magnifier, but how would one do the soldering? Soldering each pin at a time? As those parts have 0.5mm or 0.8mm pitches, I only tried with this "drag soldering" technique, but with the aforementioned results.
Wish I could filter this conversation to those who are actually artists by profession. A little hard to hear a whole bunch of non-artists telling them what they should do or feel about this.
Ah, yes, the results of a very large earthquake is the fault of capitalism. No, the fault lies with unbridled corruption which is able to take root in any and all economic systems and is very much a cultural component. Japan is capitalist and they handle earthquakes very well. Maybe these same organizations will praise capitalism when they see how capitalist Japan handles earthquakes --but I won't hold my breath.

What the region needs is a Kurdish country that enjoys self determination and can make its own choices on how to live set building code and even if they want to become communists or capitalists. They need independence.
That is flat out wrong. There were two bills. The first was in 1981, where the major adjustments were made. However, revisions were made in 1986.

No idea, but I'll give you an upvote for joining in!

The tin solder you mentioned is 99% tin and has a very high melting point, so you'll have to be careful with hand soldering not to cause heat damage. You can also expect rework to be difficult, with lots of burned flux.

The photos at your link show some gorgeous joints, so good luck! It may be that the trace amounts of Ge in the solder will help with joint longevity.

Since I don't do production soldering, and cost isn't really a consideration for me, I use 3% silver alloy to keep the temperatures down, when I'm not using 63/37.

> Transparency doesn't stiffle innovation it allows any innovation to spread quickly across the whole market which enables further innovation.

Not necessarily. It can happen in some cases, but in others it leads to a lack of innovative behavior because you shouldn’t invest in generating trade secrets or better products because you can just wait for your competitor to do so and then just obtain what they do. This is well understood.

> There are places where there's transparency about this. And they don't fare worse than other places.

What are you basing this claim on?

> Yes. Exactly. I'm afraid of disclosing my address because published addresses are rare.

Well your address is public record and can be obtained easily, but if transparency is a moral virtue as you claim I find it odd that you need others to engage in moral behavior before you do so.

With that being said, I publish my real name and a link to my LinkedIn profile so anyone who reads a comment can attribute it to me (good or bad). I actually find it helps engage better online, so I guess there is some virtue to transparency. Why not do the same in your profile?
Minimum length of support is not necessary. It's sufficient to force the companies to release the software as FLOSS after the support is ended.
With my particular RSI I also can't use a standard trackball, but I swear by my thumb trackballs. (But every body is different, every injury is different, etc.)
The problem is people are using that technology. What you're saying is akin to "Guns don't kill people, people kill people", and that's true. But it's also true that people who don't have guns don't kill people with guns and if no one had guns no one would be killed by them.

I think it's fair to "get mad" at those who produce and profit by making and selling guns and hold them responsible for murders committed with them. Same with Tesla.

In both of those cases the manufacturer knows they can be deadly, and that they cause deaths. I won't make any leaps to try and disconnect those facts.

I make and sell software. If my software was causing folks to die I would stop selling it. It wouldn't matter at all if the users misused it.
fully with you except

> because the company selling them decided that they don't want to support them anymore.

in IoT for consumer devices companies must ensure that a software is free of security issues. in some cases the support period of 3rd party dependencies is out of control of the vendor. and vendors usually don't control the upstream silicon and firmware. so if an SDK ships an outdated mbedtls and upstream refuses to patch their SDK also downstream will not be able to release a patch. and in that case the law says connectivity needs to be disabled for that appliance. the situation today is that vendors are only starting to realize that this is the future in which they operate. so while the appliance is still operable in a dumb-mode any smart-features will have to be reduced to the max time you can ensure support.

while this sounds like pretty normal and sane to most it absolutely isn't how IoT vendors in the past have operated. And i hope the minute RED directive kicks into gear by Aug 2024 consumers will start to sue them into oblivion if a vendor is for some reason unable to ship a security update.
Support the open source community? Yes with pleasure, but how?
Have you ever thought the same way? If so, this article might interest you. Every day we consciously and unconsciously come into contact with free software. Even very many cloud servers use Linux and similar open source operating systems. There is a vast amount of free software from various fields: Research, education, business, medicine and many other areas.
Especially the GNU project has significantly contributed to the fact that free software is what it is today. A global community of people who develop and improve things together.

Basically everyone is invited to participate. Many people would also like to participate, but don't know how. [...]
Nick Kallen has been working on an BREP based CAD tool with the sort of ease of modeling that things like Blender has. Originally it was based on C3D, but he switched halfway through to Parasolid.[0] It’s amazing the amount of features he has built considering it’s a one person project. It’s worth going through his progress report videos.[1]

Whenever I watch a western movie there's always this character type who uses much more complicated words and convoluted sentences than his counterparts. On Tvtropes they call it the "Southern-Fried Genius" and "Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness" (Damn I love this website, another lost hour)

I always love to imagine how fun an exercise it must be for a writer to invent those dialogues.

Except most times people don't implement the surrounding infra correctly.

Let's say you consume a job, do something, but that something fails. You have to set it to be rescheduled somewhere. Lets say your things writing jobs to the queue fails. That needs to be handled as well.

"They will be processed later [if I use a queue]" is not true by default (without work and thought) and assuming so will get you in trouble, and will also make certain people on your team who do understand that isn't the case upset.
This post demonstrates the fundamental flaw with RIIR arguments: it assumes that Rust is not only the best language now but will always be the best language. Getting halfway through a rewrite from C to Rust only to realize that Rust is no longer popular and there's a new kid in town would be pretty awkward.
It’s tough because what if the company doesn’t want to maintain the software? Are they obligated to keep the software up to date despite the one-time-sale?

It’s a similar reason why much of the software moved to a subscription model, the recurring costs.

Alternatively, there should be some group of smart individuals who come up with some protocol for various devices where, if a manufacturer decides to EoL the sale (specifically saying not a rental), of a product, then they must switch to that protocol. But after their hands are clean.

This issue sucks on many levels, one of which is someone like myself, and many others here, want the convenience of say smart home products.

For instance, with Nest, due to their mothership and proprietary API’s, I have to settle for either an inferior product, or spend time setting up a home automation stack.

Which is great if it’s a hobby and/or enjoyable, but I just want the features without the hassle.

The real open source revolution will come when many of these privacy-first, host-your-own XYZ are truely turn key. I think we’re getting closer but just not their yet

No, obviously, the next version will be called Newer Headless. Then you get the More Newer or Even Newer release. Or my personal favorite NewV2. /s

Using the word "new" in naming conventions is the most moronic and shortsighted way to name things in something that is quite obviously going to be changing in the somewhat near future.

Why should Google redteam their headless browser though? As other comments point out there's plenty of ways for bot detectors to id bots even with a browser which mirrors a normal one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34858056

Almost all of those are things are outside of the scope of the browser itself. And anyone doing serious bot attacks already have scripts/forks that modify these signals. I don't see how the chrome team could do much to help stop that at that level.
Loool!
Queue can also allow batching. It might be that you need to consume or pack or ship N items at a time, otherwise you're losing money. Trying to aim for minimal latency would literally hurt your business.

This article obviously has a very specific kind of workload/service/target in mind that they fail to define and they overgeneralize. This is bad advice in many situations that they failed to imagine.
I remember (from HN) some genetic algorithm explorations of optimal research/build orders that discovered novel and better combinations then-unknown to the playerbase.

Is there any evidence about it being an asset flip or pointing towards it being one? In my career as a game developer, I haven't seen any particularly large AAA-scoped Soviet 50s Atompunk style asset packs out there on the markets. So it would be good to have any reasoning to support such a big assumption.

Boringness, of course, is in the eye of the beholder. However, there is a lot of hype for Atomic Heart, it is rare in practice that new studios build up so much hype.

What an odd Ad being posted on HN

>In order to guarantee the safety of our comrades we will not disclose the names of the organisations for which the donations are intended. They are anarchist organisations, grassroots unions and popular organisations with whom we already work and who have our full trust.

You only see them on Shimano mountain bike rear derailleurs made in the last ~7 years.
Like the ever ongoing empirical work being published in peer reviewed journals? Those two words were taken so far out of context it’s hard to think you’re being charitable.
> And don’t get me started on lindy hop vs west coast swing.

I'm puzzled where this comes from, since they're entirely different scenes. On a social dance night, or say, a festival, one may find Blue/Balboa/Lindy Hop (and possibly Shag), but hardly Lindy Hop and West Coast Swing, since the music is different.

Edit: Actually, the message that the article sends is exactly what happens - dancers try other dances, then they share how they've integrated them into their dance, or how interesting is anyway to try something different - as opposed to intellectual condescension.

> Couples splitting up because one is heavily more invested in dancing than the other is a common occurence.

There surely are occurrences of this, but I wouldn't describe the phenomenon as common. It implies that a romantic relationship is based entirely on dancing, which I don't think is frequent; also, the vast majority of the dancers leave the scene within 3/4 years.

I've personally lived the "mismatch of interest", but it ended up like any other separate hobby in the context of a couple.
If you look at a queue at any random time, it will have necessarily increased more than it has decreased over its lifetime, otherwise it would hold negative items.
Why is not wanting every action one takes on the web getting collected, analyzed and sold considered a "weird political debate"?
I have more RAM than I need, and just the other day I set up a RAM disk to put my /tmp directory on. My comic reader unpacks huge rar and zip archives into /tmp at every run, and I don't want it to wear out my SSD. I put this line in /etc/fstab:

none /tmp tmpfs defaults,size=4G 0 0

It works like a charm. And in the worst case, if I run out of RAM anyway, it readily swaps out.
> And no one seriously reduces consciousness to probabilistic pattern recognition.

All eliminative materialists disagree. To them, consciousness is mechanistic in some way, so why not stochastic pattern matching which can be made Turing complete quite easily. For instance: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2116933119

> It doesn't represent any experience. ChatGPT doesn't "experience" things as conscious things do.

You don't know that because we don't have a mechanistic understanding of "experience".
That's great! All we need to do is negate the output and it will be more accurate.
It's not the economic system "considering" excess wealth as a bad thing.

It's just an unfortunate natural consequence of how people spend money when they have a lot of it, and of how businesses react when their products or services are in demand.

There's no natural law, or tenet of capitalism, that says people acquiring lots of money is a bad thing.

There's only our historical observations that

- When lots of people have extra money to spend, they spend or invest it.

- When lots of money is being spent or invested prices rise.

Keeping those two forces in balance is the challenge, and the function of regulation, or FED policy, etc, etc.
It would be nice to be able to change gears while pedaling hard uphill. Seems like you can’t have much tension to change gears.
Show HN: Beat your friends in Cricket
tldr: Week 3 update of https://bowled.gg new teams, minor bugfixes, blog post on the inspiration.
(Website works best on desktop).

Welcome back to "The Bowled Diaries" - week 3 of building a card-based game for cricket.

- In the past 2 weeks, I spoke to a lot of people asking what they thought about it and taking feedback.
All the feedback have been super-helpful and motivating.

- Some minor bug-fixes and code standardization. I have logged all of the bugs and requests reported, will be working on them soon.

- Game engine has been left as-is (tweaking in progress).
Planning to build a simulation model based on historic data from real games in the long-term.

I've started a blog series and will be posting bi-weekly articles: https://blog.bowled.gg

I am excited to share that I am working on this full-time now.
I wake up every day excited to build and ship this beautiful dream.
We'll all play a fun game to put our cricket knowledge to the test and beat our friends!

See y'all in week 5.
Interesting. Your memory obviously is very different, but I remember Dan Akroyd did impressions of him on SNL. A very monotone delivery was very characteristic, only to be outdone by Mondale.
For a while I ran DDWRT on my routers, and spent hours learning about FreeNAS and ZFS. And I ran out of patience for it after a few years. I had more important things to do, and people to spend time with. My routers got replaced with Eeros and my NAS got replaced with a Synology. And while I don’t love that the former got bought by Amazon, both are pain free, and I spend a lot less time on them.
That’s my point. The same effect exists in both systems so it doesn’t make a very strong argument against one or the other.

This is way off-topic (and, I know, language is arbitrary and often inconsistent, so it’s not “wrong”), but… am I the only one who thinks it’s inelegant that we spell “derailer” the French way (dérailleur) but pronounce it the English way?

As a personal stylistic choice I always write “derailer”, which is the same way all Americans pronounce it.
Not if the argument is the market will always lower the cost of goods like metals over time. If that bet went 20 years instead of the 10 the price would have been higher. Would that have proved the other guy correct?

The thing is, the premise of the article (new owner of domain can serve whatever they like to existing links) also applies even if a shortener is not used.

Take this URL from yahoo news that I just picked out at random:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/woman-accidentally-breaks-42-000-...

Lets say tomorrow yahoo sells off "yahoo.com" to the highest bidder. The new owner can reply to queries for that url with whatever they like. The only real difference is the URL above has some meaningful text in the title, so if an article on something very different comes up, there's some indication of something wrong. This is vs. gu.com/ABCD having no indicator of anything amiss if a new owner serves different content.

But the story really boils down to: when a domain is sold to a new owner, that new owner can change the content for any existing URL's for that domain.
Bad analogy. There's a difference between that, where the hypothetical car in question has malfunctioned, and a company being able to just decide that a feature that they offered across the board for free is suddenly being discontinued. Imagine that you have a Ford that comes with seat heaters. You've been able to use those seat heaters, at no additional charge, for several years. All of a sudden, Ford decides they want to make existing customers pay for something they've been using for years. The next time you go to the dealer for an unrelated reason, they silently install Ford's new update that restricts you from turning on the seat heaters without paying a monthly subscription to Ford. Even this analogy breaks down, as with the Arlo situation they have to provide server-side storage for the feature, whereas such a seat heater conundrum would not. However, this analogy is closer to the real situation than "manufacturer stops making parts three decades after discontinuation".
