Isn't the volumetric energy density higher for tantalum capacitors? I haven't done detailed comparison, but I recall having to reach for tantalum capacitors in some space-constrained applications requiring 100-200uF at 20-30V.
If you practice TDD, it may not.

If you have implemented some new behavior and now you'd like to setup tests around it to prevent regressions, then yes it can definitely make that process faster and less tedious
Yeah this is an important distinction that I don’t think is being properly communicated or emphasized. This is a song created by a human, with voice replacement.
I have only run remote teams since 2018 or so. I find that most focused work requires being alone not only for me but also for the team members. That said, slackers are a real risk and problem. Some people who would be fine in an office somehow just slack at home. So I understand why you’re in this position - obviously since you’re a founder, you’re not the type of person to slack off at work, and it also makes sense that you are trying to increase productivity by having others work in the office.

That said, it is going to hurt your teams moral if they feel different rules apply to you than them. Just be aware that if you take time off to focus alone, your team is going to expect that as well.

That’s more because it was a bet on the wrong horse. If you know how to install Firefox you probably know what search engine you are using and how to switch the default search engine.
Because if the link is a normal one, the user can choose whether to open it in same tab (regular click) or a new tab (lots of UX shortcuts for this like Ctrl+click).

But if the link is hardcoded as a new tab, the user has no choice. There's no way to open a new-tab link in the same tab. :( Not to mention that there's generally zero indication it's a new-tab link anyways, so not only does it take away choice, but it does so non-predictably. Ugh.
Part of OP's dilemma seems to be that they feel the need to work alone but don't let their team work alone (i.e. in a secluded environment), so they're trying to reconcile those two things. That seems like a broader problem than just needing some alone time to concentrate.
> What did you mean by this if not that trademark cannot be used to enforce where/when/how a trademark is used?

I meant exactly what I said -- that putting this in a trademark document is a bad idea. That is not me "stating the opposite" in any sense.

You do understand that there are many things that are legal but which are nonetheless bad ideas, right?

> it's amazing to see so many people jump to "it's their private business, not for us to speculate on" just because the company in question is a porno provider.

Can you elaborate on this criticism?

Its a private business, not for us to speculate on just because the company in question is a private business. Where did you get that its just because its a porno provider? Did you misword your own argument or are you incapable of seeing that you're the only one making an exception? There are words for this kind of projection, but I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Open Letter to the European Commission on the Cyber Resilience Act
Wrong. It's not only defensible, it's beneficial. Picking up work when I was 10 allowed me to buy my first game console. It also was a time to learn how much things cost. Sure, parents could have bought me a game, but realizing how many hours were put in to buy the game made them less attractive.

No, that's not true. A patent is on an invention, not an idea.
When people talk about containers they almost always mean Linux containers, i.e. a collection of features in the Linux kernel that allow creating the illusion of containers.

Needless to say, this doesn't make any sense on macOS because there's no Linux kernel. Therefore you need a Linux VM to run Linux containers on macOS.
> When people search, we believe they’re really looking for answers, as opposed to just links

I believe this as well for most people and most searches. I, however, am not most people. The vast majority of the time I want a link to sites that have what I am looking for. This is my biggest gripe with search engines and has been for a very long time. I used to be really good at finding pages I wanted by punching in the right words in the search. At some point in the mid 00's Google changed everything and I have failed to adapt fully.

I have a small solar powered device (Pi Zero controlling an antenna switch) in my backyard that I use a little mechanical temperature switch to turn on and off a teeny tiny mat heater attached to the battery. It's all in an enclosure that's water tight, so I doubt it got below 0 during the day in there in the first place. We didn't get temperatures below 0C this winter in the NE USA (which is not ordinary), and even with some dips below 0 the battery seems fine.

Very briefly, it depends on Pandoc with citeproc, and vim (lately nvim) with the vim-markdown plugin, which adds hiding to citeproc links, making the text easier to read in the editor.

Next I have bibliographic information on every source that I use stored in a postgres database. I have a collection of scripts (in lua, python, bash, ...) so I can do what I want within the editor: supply a URL and have some information scraped from the page and stored in a note, one file per resource, with bibliographic information in YAML blocks and anything else that I want to add. Another script stores the important information from the YAML blocks into the database. I have a script that builds a bibtex file from the citeproc links in my document, for formatting bibliographies in the final version. I can generate HTML, PDF, DOCX, or plain text from the same source.

The pleasure comes from having a set of keyboard shortcuts that let me jump instantly from a citeproc tag to my notes file, a local copy of the resource, or the copy on the web; also to search for notes with keywords, and a few more things. I can select part of my text and hit two keys to transform it into plain text or HTML with properly formatted links and references.

For each notes file corresponding to a resource another keyboard shortcut brings up the list of articles referring to it, and I have a script to draw a graphviz graph of this reference network.

I’ve built this up over the years; it’s a mess and no one else should use it. Maybe I’ll clean it up some day. It’s really paying off now for me though: I’m writing a book with about 50 references for each chapter; it would be unmanageable without some kind of system.

I know that there’s Zotero and other systems out there. But I prefer that this work in the peculiar way that I like; these systems tend to become brain extensions and are somewhat personal.
Thinking tap water and rain water don't have the same value makes one a nuclear stan?
It's hard to fairly measure and evaluate "merit" for teachers. You can be the best teacher of the world, prepare every single lesson for hours according to the most modern scientific standards - and yet have half your class fail in tests because they literally didn't have anything to eat since the warm school-provided lunch yesterday. Food scarcity is a problem affecting at least 75% of US school districts [1], it's gotten way worse since the COVID assistance ended [2], and it has been shown in studies to be closely linked to performance [3] (hardly a surprise for anyone who ever had to experience food scarcity).

The teacher unions do have a point there, because introducing anything "merit" based only punishes those teachers and school districts for stuff they can't control, much less actually solve.

I think DHH's perspective makes a lot of sense from the perspective of a web framework author. If you're going to buy into Rails it makes sense to buy in all the way, and not try to split your app logic across two very different languages and execution environments. Naturally he wants everything to be in Rails and for the DB to be treated as dumb as possible, it is always the way for a platform to want to subsume and abstract its lower layers.

In two-tier architecture there is no web framework, however, because there is no web server to begin with. All the UI logic runs client side and is written in the same language as the stored procedures. In this design there's nothing that's competing to be the place where app logic is implemented because you can't trust the client, so all trusted logic has to be in the database. In that case you buy into the RDBMS all the way, and really lean on its capabilities. The tension is resolved in a different direction.
Around here it is pretty standard practice for kitchen shops to draw the whole thing as a sort of "visual offer", their price is determined by all the stuff you drag into the 3D tool. All shops have that, it is really fast. Besides, I can just take all the ideas and not the drawing and achieve a similar result somewhere else. It's just the risk the shops take, that their effort is for nothing.
Have you by chance tried GPU passthrough on TrueNAS Scale? I'm planning a Homelab do-over this summer and one requirement is to have a Windows VM with a dedicated GPU I can use as a Steam host via Parsec.

I haven't used TrueNAS since it was FreeNAS and BSD based.
Yeah, I just read the "transcripts". I guess I missed a lot, because I suspect they're not transcripts, but single-sentence summaries.

I think presenting content as podcasts is lazy (and rude). To consume podcast content, I have to sit through the whole thing, because I can't skim or skip ahead. Of course, it saves the author's time - it's quicker for them to speak it than to write it; so they're trading their time for my time. That's why I say it's rude.

To be honest, the reason I'm reading the comments is in the hope of finding a proper summary.
For those readers who are skeptical whether this curriculum is really in widespread use, it definitely still is.

I have young kids and before listening to this podcast, my wife and I spent a bunch of time last Fall looking at schools for our eldest to start Kindergarten, because San Francisco's lottery system means there's no default school.

A lot of schools, even fancy private schools, used materials designed for this three cues reading curriculum. We were really puzzled why the reading curriculum featured stupid books where each page had a picture of a mouse and another object, and you were supposed to read "Mouse sees bear".

These books had two problems that were obvious to us as parents: You don't need to know how to read in order to appear to read the book (just be shown the pattern for what to say on each page), and the books are _incredibly boring_ -- even our 2-year-old wouldn't be interested in reading such a book. The teachers we talked to said things that in retrospect echo the marketing lines for this curriculum that you here about in this podcast.

We Googled why these stupid books are being used in schools at all, and found https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-ho... (An earlier article the by the host of the Sold a Story podcast). I recommend the article for folks who want to read something on the topic, though the podcast is the result of her considerably deeper investigation into why this is happening, and I highly recommend it as well for those who have the time.

We ended up sending our daughter to a Montessori school; we picked it for several reasons, but one observation is that because they have their own philosophy about how to teach reading and writing, they're relatively resilient to this sort of fake "science" based fad.

(Other things we saw visiting schools that made me sad included plentiful posters about the CUBES math strategy, which felt like an algorithm for being able to produce the correct answer to a word problem without actually reading and understanding the words -- i.e. an adaptation of the math curriculum to a world where many children struggle to read).
> Pornhub had over 2B visits last year and 100M+ daily active users

Is it just me or does that seem remarkably low? I wonder if "active users" only includes users with accounts. I'm sure plenty of people lurk such sites but never sign in.

> AI deepfakes and Generative AI means that anyone can create custom porn for themselves.

Admittedly, and somewhat embarrassingly, this is something I looked into with all the AI hubub going on this year.

While it's interesting what Stable Diffusion is capable of in terms of generating images of naked people, it's not that impressive what it comes to creating something that can actually compete with what humans can currently create. Every example of AI-generated pr0n I've seen looks erotically generic and uninteresting. On top of that, the AI seems to still not understand what a nipple or vagina is actually supposed to look like. It can't even do video yet outside of blurry "flipbooks" of multiple prompts in succession. Though I have no doubt that AI will eventually shake things up, we are a ways off from AI making human-made porn obsolete.

> To put the nail in the coffin, Netflix made a documentary about how Pornhub was the worst.

Well yeah, the problem with porn is it can't be (easily) used to push a narrative. Porn is hyper-reality. Porn doesn't pretend that people don't see race. Porn doesn't pretend that men and women aren't different, unless you're into that sort of thing. Porn isn't known for its intricate storytelling. Porn isn't pretentious. Porn doesn't pretend that penises are "gross." Porn doesn't pretend that human beings aren't animals that have irrational motivations. Porn is largely apolitical.

No wonder the mainstream wants it gone, despite being guilty of many of the same transgressions as sites like Pornhub. Nobody's gonna stop giving their money to Hollywood despite all the sexual abuse and child molestation.
> From October 17, 2023, we will no longer support importing Mercurial, Subversion and Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) repositories. We're ending support for this functionality due to extremely low levels of usage.
Wait, what’s wrong with Lex Friedman? I’m not familiar with the guy, but after briefly listening to that video & checking his background…he seems fine?
That's a stupid over-generalization. There's always one shitty app you need for some weird use case which is not in the official stores. And to rule that out 100% by purchasing a chromebook is a hassle people don't want to worry about.
I purchased hardware (a wheel), a new game, and started playing it because a streamer whose taste generally aligns with mine was playing that game this weekend. Then, I had him playing on one monitor while I played on the other. I don't think I'm alone in this.
This sounds like halfway to boarding school.
Yeah. I mean I agree that Heinemann is milking books they've already put resources into publishing and they should quit. And I'm sure there's a bunch of teachers who aren't good at teaching or being humans and not teaching very well. But the core conceit of Sold a Story is there's currently a huge problem with reading pedagogy everywhere, and that's at least currently false, and maybe was never true.
I completely agree.

I've been using Svelte happily for years, but I won't be using SvelteKit. In part because of the routing but also because it doesn't really solve much in the backend.

It's amazing that all the full stack frameworks (Next, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix, Astro, etc) are investing so much effort into reinvent the backend and after years they still don't provide even basic backend functionality. For example, out of the box, Fastify gives you validation, sessions, CORS, cache headers, etc. Features that you need in probably all backend projects.

I started this repo to figure out how to integrate Svelte with Fastify using Vite. It has hot reload, partial hydration, etc. It's very quick and dirty code, but it works.

Except that's just not true. The vast majority of Americans don't actually believe "they can achieve anything." The proof is that they never actually try. It's merely rhetoric that we use to punish the most vulnerable. For the vast majority, we either never reach a spot where we're comfortable because of a lack of skills or training or we get there and then lament our luck when things don't go our way with layoffs and technical obsolescence. This is of course discounting MLMs, which aren't real entrepreneurship.

Neither is part-time work. I get a 1099 NEC from a few companies each year for "consulting," which basically means I get a retainer to fix a few things that break on their servers should something go wrong. I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm just getting a few extra checks.
A bit offtopic, but i find it interesting, how young kids ask A LOT of questions... "how does that work? why is that like that? Where did that come from? How come this is that? How do you do that? How did we do that befire this? ....", and then we put those kids through the schooling system, and the kids seem uninterested in anything, the questions stop and teaching them stuff becomes a pain for many.
I don't see any tinfoil-hatness in exposing the incentives that are in place of every opinator.

In philosophy, the first thing to understand a philosopher's thinking (make a model of his mind) is to read his work but the second is to read who are his influencers.

No field is truly neutral or deeply agnostic (except reality itself which is The Great Equalizer).
> I disagree w/ separation though --- this really should be achievable in a single building/system.

It should be achievable in a single building/system. And it would be great to have the funding, expertise, and coherent strategy to build a school system which helps students explore what they're interested in and find what suits them, and helps students in a personalised way.

However, to execute that you would need those three things - funding, expertise, and a coherent strategy. And I think part of the problems with schools is that they're on paper meant to do all of these amazing things - they're meant to have everyone under one roof and not have problems, they're meant to be endlessly forgiving to those with rough backgrounds and have them improve as a result, regardless of how many times they hurt those around them. Their ability to expell/suspend is heavily restricted, because schools shouldn't need to expel people. Schools are built around the assumption that they're close to this perfect utopia where everyone gets on well, and if we just make a few refinements to the implementation we'll be there. But they're nowhere near perfect, and I don't think that kind of utopia is anywhere near achievable. I don't know of anywhere where that's been achieved at scale.

What has been achieved at scale is building an education system that may not be able to provide for each student individually, but which at least has separate paths for the types of students they accommodate.

The EU publishes a document of the composition of European education systems (https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/d78...). While I haven't got first-hand experience of any of them (besides the UK one), I have spoken to people about it. The German system in particular appears to be quite well designed (though I may be wrong - this is from conversations with one person.) There are multiple tracks you can go down, which cater to different students. People can transfer between the tracks, generally at age 16, if they want to go to (state-paid-for) university.

What is clear is that single-track education systems are a rarity. If anyone here has first-hand experience I'd be interested in what you think of it.

> One of the best programs ever for fostering educational success was the one California had where land-grant colleges were required to accept the student with the highest GPA from each high school who applied and provide a full scholarship (so if the top 3 students got a better deal, then the student w/ the 4th highest GPA was guaranteed to be able to apply to a land-grant college and be accepted, and get full tuition and room and board). This was dismantled after college students began protesting the Vietnam War and draft.

That sounds like a great system. Robust education systems that support success and scholarships to allow people to continue in those systems regardless of background are some of the best tools for equality of opportunity and social mobility. There should really be more of that kind of thing - and without any identity-based strings attached.
What you mean is that you don't want a search engine that guesses wrong.

If you happen to get a search engine that is correctly giving you the right result every time because it happens to know what you want, I am guessing you will not have a problem with that.
They are not wrong, they are incomplete.
For intermittent sources, you need to factor in not only storage, but also grid upgrades and interconnects. Somethings LCOE overlooks.

It's the same thing as saying rain water is cheaper than tap water.
Are you worried about piracy or that your app may not be available to all platform users anymore? I bet that immediately after this feature comes countries, mobile providers, etc. will roll out their own app stores and many users will not go with Apple's. Those stores will probably incentivize big apps like Facebook get on them but not regular solo developers. You may have to distribute your app through a dozen of app stores and comply with all their differing regulations and review processes instead of one, or pass on user share... (Or more likely you'll need to pay up some app store distribution middleman who will capitalize on the situation)
An excellent book. I taught all of my kids to read with it. All are strong readers. By lesson 70 or so, most of them had caught the gist and didn't need to finish it out. Highly recommended.
