That's a big pet peeve for me as well! Only thing remaining now is those pesky colons (edit: was semi-colons) that everyone and their mother seems to place in their new formats. Just get rid of them already!

Who wants to type `{name: "pveierland"}` when you could just do `{name "pveierland"}`?!
There's still enough people who do not understand the consequences and just click "accept all", because they fear their computer will catch on fire and murder their pets otherwise.

Coincidentally, those people are also the most susceptible to advertisement-driven brain washing and least likely to understand what adblockers are.
this is not tmux specific, basically every terminal out there would react to the bell char. e.g Terminal.app adds a bell icon to the tab, makes the dock icon bounce, and a badge on it.

if you want to hack a bit and have a specific log line outputted yo the terminal you can stuff the bell char right in the string!

one could also display notifications, there are more advanced CLI programs but here's a crude way: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/238814/send-notifi...

These things can also be done on Linux. A bit of web searching should give you ideas.

I frequently use them with long running commands or fswatch.

I'm not up to date on embedded programming vernacular, but isn't that just a regular OS with apps? (Apple Watch OS, Android Wear, etc)
> I don't find the TFA explanation convincing; it's too abstract.

...meaning you didn't understand it.

It may not be a good explanation, but the problem isn't that it's too abstract.

> If you see something moving in your left eye, the best way to swim away is to send a signal for a muscle contraction in your right side, which will cause you to curl and swim to the right. So the best wiring is a direct connection from left eye to right side, and right eye to left side. The brain is built up starting from that kind of connection.

If your fish only contracts the right side of it's body, that's not going to create effective motion, and while your fish is having the seizure you've described, it's going to get eaten.

Even if there were some sort of direct eye-to-muscle connection (which there isn't) the left eye would connect to the right side of the brain, which would then connect to the left side muscle, so you'd have left eye to left muscle (via the brain), not left eye to right muscle.
> "Most of the time" is an exaggeration.

"Most" like "cost", or like "ghost?" Also, only now I checked the transcription for "exaggeration", and "gg" is not "g", like in "blogger", but ʤ like in "Jason". TIL.

If this is not "most of the time", than I don't know what is.
Just a random idea: given the nature of Cuban society would neighbourhood or house level batteries be viable? Enough to store your electricity needs for (say) two or three days. So you can smooth out the day/night wind/calm cycles to some extent?

Tangential: given the state of the structures in the OA is it really possible this facility can be completed without effectively rebuilding it?

> You can do this, but only if you know exactly what that state means. In practice this is almost certainly too fragile to be useful. If you change anything you probably invalidate your understanding of this data and cause chaos.

I've used the crate `savefile` for this in the past (https://docs.rs/savefile/latest/savefile/), which also supports migrating data between versions. So if you have a bunch of on-disk data of a struct and you add a new property, you can handle migrating the data on the fly to the new struct structure.

I'm also using `savefile` for saving HN items (comments and stories) to disk in my own HN application: https://codeberg.org/ditzes/ditzes/src/branch/master/src-tau... and it's very quick to load stuff from disk, haven't hit any bottlenecks really

Example: https://ditzes.com/item/35640002 (SpaceX Starship rocket explodes minutes after launch from Texas) has 1223 comments which are individually loaded from disk, takes around 100ms to load from disk, which considering how inefficient and unoptimized the code is, I'm pretty happy with.
I believe somewhere in the Culture series books it is mentioned that many Culture ships also have gas dwellers as inhabitants. By neccesity in separate compartment from the usual terestrial-lineage passengers. I like to believe that alongside all the fractal complexity of Culture life depicted in the books they also have a paralel world with even more exotics. Maybe there is a gas-dweller equivalent of Contact going around Jovians galaxywide getting into all kind of schenanigans.
Twitter restores blue tick to high profile accounts
you execute them like any other script. the script is not interpreted by your interactive shell but it specifies which shell/interpreter will be used to run it. that interpreter is then started for this script. your interactive shell does not limit what kind of scripts you can run. there was never a requirement that bash scripts need to be started from a bash shell. otherwise you could not even run python or other scripts from your shell.
I wonder if systemd in Linux was named after this, given that it's a collection of services to help you do things, even 3rd party or ad hoc ones made by yourself.

> Nothing will ever unseat JSON because whilst it's crap, it's good enough.

JSON is "secretly" being replaced by JSON5 in quite a lot of contexts. So I'm not sure that this is entirely accurate. The same was said about XML a long time ago and people claimed that XML will never be replaced. Yet today XML is barely used any more. Likewise TOML is showing up in more and more places were previously INI or YAML was the standard.
That's why open source is not enough anymore, we need _lean_ open source, and that stable in time.

Big Tech is based mostly on 2 related scams: planned obsolescence and grotesquely and absurdely massive and complex open source software/standards/protocols.

To protect us against them, is to go to simple but able to do a good enough job and stable in time protocol/standard/open source software/etc. You will need lawyers.

This is common sense, but many seem to lose it... more or less sincerely...
> The United States does not do anything other than what serves it's own interests.

No country does. Countries don't have morals, countries have interests.

Actions by countries are of course almost always justified based on the former, rather than the latter.
The damage the App Store causes is far, far wider than iOS users. The entire online ecosystem is shaped by app store censorship - we've seen again and again massive sites actively discrimate against kink, BDSM and queer communities because Apple requires to do so, and building different moderation for different end user devices is effectively impossible at scale.
The problem with it is this is actually burning many millions of US taxpayer dollars. You think Musk is paying for it? Check SpaceX grants.

As for the failure, the Raptor 2 failures have caused a RUD on multiple Starship launches so far.
They should be back to static firing the Super Heavy or something, but this is not sexy enough for the billionaire.

Until the engine and launchpad works reliably, there is literally no point in launching the boosters when you have high probability of mission failure right at the launch. (Even if it clears the tower.)

Musk/SpaceX redefining failure as success is terribly annoying too. If done repeatedly enough it has the potential to tank the whole space program. They obviously wanted to test separation the most (since it was issued despite the control failure) and that failed too.
To me, your literal argument doesn't make sense. It's like saying "ThrustSCC isn't the fastest car, because I can't use it as I don't have one." Immersion might not be a method that you want to use, but I bet that also introverts learn faster when they (accidentally) end up immersed than by any other method. Plus, there are schools that use this method, so you could avoid social interaction except with a handful of teachers. Pretty expensive, though.

However, immersion is often not available. When you want to study a language before going on a trip, you often can't find a suitable class, let alone a socio-cultural environment for that language. It might also be financially prohitive. Then you move on to the next best method.

Xi has made the usual noises that Taiwan would be reunited with China by some date far in the future.

The traditional Western way of dealing with this not exactly novel situation was to say that in principle there is One China, but it should be resolved peacefully. We could have continued like this. Instead, Pelosi traveled to Taiwan last year, which was entirely unnecessary and has increased tensions.

Since then, hawkishness on China has bipartisan support. The winner will be Biden, who will be reelected as a strong leader despite having ruined the world economy.
So? It doesn't particularly matter _how_ taxes are collected. Just how much in total, and what you pay from that tax money. If I'm reading, that HOAs have to build their own roads, their own sewer system, power lines, etc. Then yeah.. that is a state responsibility here. That is done by a publicly accountable organisation, where you can, when you are angry with their performance, go to your elected officials and make them do something about it. Yes it's not as direct as being a customer, yes it's not as easy as you getting your own way on everything, but there is an established process for everything.

The typical argument on this site here is: Europe doesn't have a thriving tech center because of high taxes. The HOAs and stuff like that is a consequence of the different tax burden. So I guess your total taxability is lower than ours shrug
And the weaponization of the dollar really spooked a whole lotta other countries and just added fuel to the fire of them looking into alternative non-dependent systems (trading in non-usd, swift alternatives, etc).

At this rate, we’re going to isolate ourselves (Europe is already feeling significant pain). The West is only around a billion people out of what, 8 billion?
List of all 100k GPT-4 tokens
Of course, all of this depends on your context. It's possible that one's world is all about JSON5, while another person's world is all about XML (yes, still). It all depends on where you work, what FOSS you contribute to, what code you write, what language you use.

TOML for example is extensively used in the Rust world, but if you're doing PHP, you're much more likely to deal with XML or JSON than TOML on a daily basis.

- The police got his password through another mean they don’t want to disclose and are using this as a cover up.

I’ve seen hardcore developers telling others on calls to always click ‘accept all’ just because of the potential friction of an other click when rejecting. I don’t think they even had an adblocker in their Chrome.
I am using "Switching Power Supply Design" from Pressman, Billings and Morey and "Switmode Power Supply Handbook" from Billings and Morey.

Both are excellent resources and look at design from a bit different point of view.

I think the biggest problems with swithing designs are not what you have listed, although both noise and failure modes are a huge problem and main cause of concern (and cost) when certifying your designs.

The biggest problem is that they are just so damn complex and they have so damn complex characteristics over time and operating parameters. You might think you understand how a switching PSU works but that's just an illusion. There are people who spent their entire life specialising in switching PSU design and are still learning. At best we can understand how they behave within certain parameters and then try to make sure to shut it down safely when we leave those parameters.
A vision for data interchange in Elm (2018)
No, but there are no other languages applicable in this context, really. You need a (de)serializer in each and every one of them, so you have to find some library, and that also includes Go. The easy choice in Go is the default one (simply called json), but there are quite a few alternative (de)serializers and validators. The GP just didn't look for them.
Twitter drops “Government-funded”/“state-affiliated“ from NPR, BBC, RT, Xinhua
Firstly you need a target to send it to. Secondly you need to handle the rotation of the Earth so that you remain on target. Thirdly, you need to send a powerful enough signal that it can be detected above the background noise at that target.

The idea that aliens can pickup a radio station or TV station doesn’t seem likely to me. The rotation of the Earth would sweep that signal across them.

They might be able to detect “noise” at unusual frequencies but it wouldn’t appear coherent.
If you like this sort of coverage, I highly recommend The New York Review of Books.

Contrary to the name, their articles aren't book reviews so much as excuses to write solid, expert articles on topics that happen to be written about in recently published books. The articles are almost always interesting even when they are about books, because of their extremely high-quality contributors — Joyce Carol Oates, Tony Judt, Gore Vidal, Zadie Smith and J. M. Coetzee come to mind. They also publish lots of global, topical analysis. During the Egypt conflict of 2011-2014, they had some of the best coverage, for example.

I also enjoy the sheer lack of pretentiousness. They have world-class writers, yet they never seem full of themselves the way some other "liberal intellectual" publications (The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Paris Review, Monocle, etc.) do.

(Their book coverage is great, though. They also publish books, and are responsible for keeping a lot of obscure out-of-print stuff in print.)
I think the goal all along was to help out authoritarian state media. If there were ever a war, Elon's companies should be the first thing that is seized by the government.
I want good PWAs. I don’t want borderline spyware-apps with access to all kinds of apis.

XML had an aura of inevitability, but everyone hated it. That’s why JSON won, it isn’t vile like XML
It is important to contextualise our relatively modern ideas of race, but I think in so doing, the author avoids the requirement to rebut the explicit claim made by Pinkett-Smith that Cleopatra was in fact a black person, as a modern US individual would understand this term. This claim is rooted in an ideology peculiar to the US which claims pristine Africa to be 'black only' and therefore anyone who isn't, must be some kind interloper, transgressor or coloniser. It is is understandable for today's Egyptians to be outraged at this.

Ironically, it is Cleopatra herself who could be most appropriately described as a late comer, coming as she does from Ptolemaic dynasty. She was conspicuous at the time by being the first of the Ptolemies to actually try and learn the local language and adopt the customs of the people she ruled. She was neither a Nubian, Arab nor native Egyptian, but a Macedonian Greek, and would be described as a white person today.
Moreso that semantically hashmaps are collections and structs arent. Structs are single items with a fixed number of properties.
That model plays music and uses an OLED display. Playing music off the watch burns through battery IME and I'm betting how you've configured the OLED display matters. It's "Up to 13 days" and I'm guessing those 13 days don't involve using GPS, don't involve playing music and don't involve using always on display. Misleading maybe.

Ah. I meant cases where lazy third-party scripts just assume my current shell is POSIX and don't explicitly make themselves run in bash.
This is true, but if you use synthetic fertilizer, even if the fertilizer itself contains no carbon it still uses hydrogen split from methane. The carbon part has already gone into the atmosphere, which plants then pull down. You would need to sequester the carbon released during SMR for synthetic fertilizer to have no effect.
> given the nature of Cuban society would neighbourhood or house level batteries be viable?

Possibly maybe?

You need 10kW per household per day with generous electricity consumption [1] Retail prices for 10kW batteries seem to be in the range of $5k to infinity.

At scale this will be cheaper, but then the question then becomes the same: availability at this scale

I always say that I learned more while teaching technology classes in my local community than any individual student.

Like this person, it helped hone my skills communicating technical ideas to non-technical people. Most importantly, it helped me understand others' limitations and abilities of mine I had taken for granted. As a result, I learned patience and grace, that sometimes it's better to show someone while doing it yourself, rather than expecting them to master it.

I scheduled an AI class in the library this summer, because I think it's important. We'll see.

Engines are not supposed to fail ever. Super Heavy does not have sufficient margin to handle multiple failures (maybe one, maybe), and Starship has the same engines, where one failing means it is liable to just fall from the sky.

Unless on the Moon, but then it would have to LEO or lunar orbit abort if it does not burn up on the spot and require a recovery mission.

Thinking about it, it has 1% to do with the format at 99% to do with various lock-in mechanisms. The explosion of the web and JSON being the standard for JS definitely helped it alot! Protobuf has done pretty well on the backend based on the "won't get fired for copying Google". XML had it's own lock-ins, being the basis of XHTML at that time, and Microsoft had a big fetish for SOAP.
Yeah, because Apple doesn't support MTP at all. On OSs that do they just pop up.

Linux on mobile is a major step back both in terms of security and usability. Modern smartphone App Sandboxes are immensely better than desktop paradigms. Sideloading should be allowed, tho.
Who needs TOML when we have this?

Also this is really cool when you want to upgrade your config file to a script!

And second stage has different engines since when? Starship proper is not that different, it has fewer engines, its landing gear provides worse conditions than the launchpad.

> Crockford's persistence in evangelizing it even after the company he worked at when it was created went bankrupt led to its eventual adoption.

I don't think this is true at all. The reason that JSON won is stated quite clearly in the interview: you do not need a software stack to handle JSON. This feature sells itself for any software development team who needs to have frontends running in a browser consuming data from a backend. You do not need an evangelist to convince people to use a feature that is ubiquitous, free, extensively tested, and more performance than anything in the market.

It was more exclusive in the beginning, I give you that. But today, it has as much trash as any other app store.
