I entered this thread with a chart that presents data.

I'm not interested in the politics of why the voters voted they way they did. And your assertions on that are like picking a few leaves off a tree and saying that they are the reason the tree grows.

Your contention was that "Brown was too left wing to slam on the spending brakes".

My contention is that the chart I posted would have looked largely the same whichever party was in power. The only difference would have been the degree and speed of action. And it was this that Conservatives got wrong and which I think that Brown would have done better with. He wasn't a good PM, but he knew what mattered on the economy.

And you can run a clear line from the decisions that were made by the Conservatives at the time to where we are today. The mistakes made (David Cameron with Brexit, Austerity, and now political corruption and malaise) have effectively ruined the potential of Britain for decades to come.

I'm not here to defend Brown, but I do understand the position he was in. Anything else is political garbage.

There are afaik already multiple CAN busses in your average car with different data rates, might as well have a separate one for all the risky stuff that's easily accessed? This is some basic security shit.
My favorite is Egyptian which had the extra feature that the letters were equivalent if rotated with respect to the y axis.

So if you had an animal looking letter you could place it in a aesthetically pleasing way looking left or right e.g. on each side of a door
...are you under the impression that Mongol bichig is a script similar to Chinese characters? What issues do you think it has that Cyrillic doesn't have?
I love the star wars rap and wee.

"It's not the east or the west side - no it's not, it's not the north or the south side - no its not, it's the dark side - you are correct. So for all you Vader haters we'll blow your planet up. What is thy bidding my master, it's a disaster, Skywalker we're after, but if he could be turned to the dark side, yes, we'd have a powerful ally..."

That was the internet I loved, pre Facebook, pre cookie banners, pre everything bad nowadays. Better times too, everyone knew the Dubyas were full of shit and most people didn't go haywire yet with the gender crap and the 15 years of Islam hate terrorism brainwashing etc.
Work was fun because "SOLID" and OO fetish wasn't there yet, no k8s, no cloud, no microservices. Living was less difficult. And you could actually find things to buy in local stores vs Amazon swallowing everything. You could also say anything without bullshit censorship. Steam was new and didn't have much power. MMORPGs were big and the social networks of that time, besides ICQ which was a falling star but the main platform to send messages, also MSN messenger. I don't want to know the amount of spying that was going on there.
Summers were warm but not the burning hell of today. See you in 20 years and 45-50°C in Northern Europe.
There were forums everywhere, not just that abomination reddit.
Google still had the don't be evil slogan and getting into adsense wasn't impossible like it's nowadays. Layers ads were a thing. No bootstrap meant colorful and diverse websites. And then came Facebook and turned everything into shit.
The answers make perfect sense in the context of Chinese law.

This is how Huawei was set up decades ago. They would have had no reason to hide or obfuscate their ownership back then. They used a legal device - the union holds shares on behalf of the employees - to get around restrictions on the number of shareholders in a private company.
> A modern series hybrid like a Toyota Prius is effectively an electric vehicle and a gas generator (which means it has the same efficiency gains due to regenerative braking). That gets 52 mpg, which is about 493 Wh/km.

Wait, does a new prius or something like a hyundai ioniq (also 52-53 mpg) not have the internal combustion engine mechanically coupled to the transmission and drive wheels anymore?
No kidding! At some point Genghis Khan invaded Afghanistan. Over the next century Pax Mongolica made it as far as Egypt. Conquered swathes of Persia, felt cute, sacked Baghdad. Just Mongol things.

Splintered into a bunch of Khanates that started fighting each other..

Arguably they fell apart because they picked up so many scripts and cultural and religious influences the different types of Mongols could no longer communicate or tolerate one another. Then the bubonic plague came and they became insular again instead of expansionist.
Howdy Elfman, fancy meeting you here all these years after the Game Trailer Collab! Thanks for the nostalgia trip :)
The US has a huge internal market. But their reliance on international trade is small. Exports amount to less then 10% of their GDP [1]. As a comparison, France has the lowest amount of exports per GDP in the EU, and theirs is almost 30%. Germany's is 47%. For many smaller EU countries, it's even higher [2].
The US cares a lot about keeping international shipping lanes open (mainly because they used to rely on imported oil). But they are very protectionist, and always have been. International trade is just not that important to them.

> I have already said it many times online. The way Qt wants to make money is too much focused in big B2B style. There is a general sentiment in the community that the current pricing is bad for small businesses. It feels like giving into a trap when using Qt for small business.

This. And might I say, a lot of IT companies in Europe are awful at pricing. They're aiming for the B2B market and forget all the others

Well guess what, people are just embedding browsers now and except for niche apps, few people care about Qt
I guess the idea is more not to attract attention in case of a random search, rather than plausible deniability. The phone couldn't operate as a phone... (nor the speaker, as far as I understand it).
Nevermind. It seems the button on https://chatgpt.org/ goes to a page which 404:s.

Usually the "forbidden territory" about PSU's is only about the fact that they are (were) connected to mains, if you give the PSU the time to let the capacitors discharge (a few minutes in the worst cases) they are perfectly safe.

What I would do would be to wash it with distilled (or demineralized) water first.

If the gunk goes away, there is no need to use the isopropyl alcohol at all, but otherwise a quick immersion in isopropyl is also ok.

Both with distilled water and isopropyl alcohol, I would find a suitably sized container and put in it just the right amount of liquid to cover the part(s) where the gunk is visible (the top right connector in your case).

Distilled water won't do any damage and you can leave the PCB in it as long as you want (to give it the time to moisten/dissolve the sugary gunk), with isopropyl alcohol there won't be any damage to the actual components, but if you keep it for long you may well have some esthetic damage (like discoloration of some plastic).

There should be isopropyl alcohol available in spray cans too, I wouldn't go for contact cleaners if not for the actual connector pins, after they are cleaned, at least the types I am familiar with do leave a (protective) residue that is good on the actual connectors, but that you don't want elsewhere on the board.
We can't even buy a legitimate SMALL pickup in the USA anymore. The closest thing is the still-large Ford Maverick, which is nearly useless as a truck because Ford forces a giant four-door cab on every buyer. Where is the two-door version? You see this same blunder on every "smallish" truck sold in the USA today, which is why Rangers from a decade and a half ago are selling for as much as they did new.

Look at the absurd marketing picture Ford put out. These people have no hope of even loading the couch they're struggling with, let alone half the other crap waiting on the sidewalk: https://www.thedrive.com/content-b/message-editor%2F16461598...

While this is a somewhat different type of truck than the subject of this article, it reflects a similar failure of manufacturers to address a major gap in the market. Not everyone is a poser who just wants to drive around in a "truck." Some people have actual truck applications to be addressed, and want an efficient little truck for them.
It takes about the same resources to run as Stable Diffusion or LLaMA. You don't even need a GPU.
500Wh/kg will be truly revolutionary if it can sustain reasonably high amperage draw rates, for UAV applications.

For reference hobby lipo batteries used in small quadcopters are around 155-160 Wh/kg.

Lithium ion battery packs built from the very best Sony and Panasonic high-C rate cells for UAV applications are right around 250Wh/kg.
I've been using https://catbox.moe/ which is kept alive by donations. One interesting thing they do is their sister site, https://litterbox.catbox.moe/ which does temporary hosting: an hour, 12 hours, a day, or three days. So the user can choose whether they want it kept around forever, and the site can save money on hosting.

I bet an enormous amount, maybe 99%, of imgur content is stuff that users only meant to share once and wouldn't care if it were deleted. But the other 1% is of tremendous value -- even if an image gets no hits in years, that's no guarantee it's really useless (e.g. an instruction manual for an obscure piece of hardware or software). And it's hard to know which is which.
Probably, the person you are responding to does not understand that "mng" in the URL means "Mongolian written in the Mongolian script" and did not guess either that the letters "MN" at bottom left meant "Mongolian written in the Cyrillic script".

And why would they?

The biggest surprise here is your answer, IMO.
How would like like to define "computers" here? Electronic fuel injection was first introduced in 1960's and 70's, and the 70's are when microprocessors first hit the scene. Without the ECU in a EFI car, you're not going to get very far.
Why is Dart not popular?

When I think introspectively I didn't want to use it because I was never sure what it gave me over what I already used.

There was also the abandonment of Google Web Toolkit (GWT) which I liked that Google abandoned and that I wasn't sure if Dart has staying power.

So the problem at Google is not the lack of good product managers and engineers, but the lack of bold leadership, then.
Your mileage may vary but here is a brief set of answers.

I just started taking it given advice from experts in glaucoma. This vitamin has great safety profile even at 5 g/day oral. But source it carefully from reputable manufacturer.

Yes, initially my sleep improved. I do not take before sleeping.

Not critical: My typical pattern when at home is 1 gm x 3 time points spread through day, but it shouldn’t matter much. No adverse GI symptoms in 6 years.
ChatGPT can’t generate 4 valid 5-letter words with 20 unique letters
Take any 20 letters from the Oxford English Dictionary and make 4 5-letter words from them. You must use 20 unique letters. You cannot use any letter more than once.

No matter what prompt or correction I use it continually churns out repeat letters
The simpler solution would be signed messages over CAN.

Any message sent to a security critical part of the car (eg. the door locks) would be signed by the ECU. The signature would use the current date/time as a nonce to prevent replay attacks. The signing certificate would be pre-programmed in at the factory.

Now anyone can say malicious things over the bus, yet still can never unlock the car.

you have this futuristic AI tech and you name it "Bard".
I feel like for GTK, there just aren't a lot of resources out there for it. And that links into the fact that GTK is only really used on GNU/Linux which represents an incredibly small share of all desktop users (even though it can be used cross-platform I believe). So its one of those cases where I think to learn it, you kinda have to look at samples, and source code from other projects.
OpenGL isn't "dropped", it still works. It's just marked as deprecated.
Really depends on what you're thinking of when you say technical
What battery pack that I can buy right now is 300Wh/kg? Sincerely curious because that's 50Wh/kg above what people are using in some very expensive UAVs.
This is such a lousy excuse on Google part. We see multi-billion public companies bringing bold innovative products to extremely regulated sectors, like pharmaceutical and medical devices. Google can't deploy a chatbot because of lawsuits? Oh, c'mon...
> I would link to the article but JWZ shows requests with referer "news.ycombinator.com" an image that you may not like if you're at work :)

IMO anyone who has not configured their browser not to send cross-domain Referer headers deserves whatever they get. There is no user benefit for this privacy leak and browsers should have trashed it decades ago.
The marketing trick here is 'assembled'.

Nothing major is manufactured here.
Work remains to be done. The page title is rendered sideways.

(Not that the space exists in the browser to render titles vertically...)
Just niacinamide—non-flushing B3.
Of course it's about freedom.

What some people don't want to hear is that their freedom must be limited where it impacts other people. Nobody is alone in the world.
What sort of power plays are we meant to be doing? Is this like 'The Alpha does x y z' type stuff?
Typically the engineers building the thing use debug builds that don't have these checks.
Print is a way better medium for music reviews than anything with actual audio, paradoxically. You can't review music using audio, at that point you may as well just play the track.

A written review is a kind of two-step, a puzzle between the writer and reader. The writer evokes the gestalt of the music without being able to reference it directly. It's more interesting than the actual music a lot of the time, and there's a vague erotic tinge to it.
#!/usr/bin/env perl

is the usual way to fix this. Far more common is running into UTF-8 problems, but using the usual -CSDL and the UTF-8 open default handles the issues.
I'll add "lobbying" to my long list of things that the media suddenly discover is bad when it hurts fossil fuel interests.

I was a huge Flash nerd, all the way since Macromedia Flash 5. I learnt programming with Flash 5 and action script. I have been at it until Flash 8. Then I stopped putting effort to keep-up and eventually Flash died.

Something was lost in the internet culture. Flash was the language of web art. I don't know what is the new language for that anymore.

If anyone knows, please do tell me. WebGL? Any WebGL-powered framework? What is it?

You do realise cyrillic script in Mongolia is a direct consequence of Soviet history-rewriting "one russian man" policy? And that current effort in post-soviet countries to move away from cyrillic and russian is mostly driven by security - as in one less reasons for Russia to come "save their brothers".
I use an extension to always send the base domain of the target as the "Referer" and have not encountered any problems (or at least not any that I cared enough to investigate the cause for). It's absurd that Firefox still has this privacy leak by default considering how much they present themselves as privacy friendly.

Inkscape is prime for having its Blender moment - the moment where freeing energy 10 years ago pays off and beats the closed source software.
I use Inkscape for laser cutting and vector graphics and it’s getting better every year. Still a tad of polish and I’ll be happy!
Haha you are right that I typically am working within 30 feet of an outlet. But not usually seated within 6 feet of an outlet.

Maybe we can invent wireless power to go along with the wireless ethernet?

Personally I would prefer to just use less power. Chips have never been more efficient, and batteries have never been bigger. With the right software, even an older laptop can last all day.
The first versions of git were written in Perl (with some small speed sensitive parts written in C).
Sugarmate is awesome! In fact we just got an automated phone call at 5am from Sugarmate letting us know our son’s sugar was low. It’s a killer feature.
I’m not seeing that in Firefox at least. Bug in your browser of choice?
Not all B vitamins have a wide safety profile, so I consider this poor advice if your goal is to get to 3 g/day of B3.

Do you have citation specific for B3?
Really fun concept. I'd suggest changing the color of the "Submit" button because (at least on Firefox) to my eyes it looks like it's disabled.

It took me 4 tries to get today's game. I remember playing it a lot as a kid on a clone of NES that was really popular in Eastern Europe at the time :)

Aside: why are .game domains sooo expensive? I'd love to get one for a game I'm working on but I can't stomach paying £300/year to register the domain :/

Given range extender attacks on key fobs for cars (and subsequent methods to defeat that attack) techy thieves have always been around.

There are rumors that the algorithm and secret key for various manufacturers has been broken, and that any car with a remote can be stolen after recording the unlock and start sequence from nearby. But if you had the code that would do that, it's not like you'd upload it to GitHub, so that rumor remains just that, a rumor.
Nearly everything has multiple can busses because CAN is too slow for many/most usecases nowadays. Some car manufacturers you can even feel the random lag in everything from the accelerator to the brake lights due to the canbus being so full it adds a half second delay before updating everything.

Automotive ethernet is faster and might be back to a single bus...
Don't know why, I just love esoteric words thrown into a sentence when a simple one would do.

> the absolute best theoretical efficiency of this might be 70%

While ICE are heat engines with a theoretical limit of 70%, they’re more specialised subsets described by the Otto (gas) and Diesel (… diesel) cycles, which have a much lower theoretical maximum.

Just plugging the temperature ranges into Carnot will give you a Carnot limit of 50%, and using Otto will yield 46% (https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/98992).

Add in that gas engines are not spherical and into a vacuum (losses and delays) and you’re in the 30s.
Not sure who is paying $18k/year for rent in SF. I live in Oakland and pay almost $28k/year, not including utilities.
It doesn't appear that this person actually knows what they are talking about.
$1,136 for Cleveland ?!
No, that is not how that works, sadly you cannot.
A lot of OpenSuse's infrastructure has decades old perl pieces still doing part of the work of important services.
The linked article explains these in details.
ICE converts chemical energy to mechanical energy but an electric vehicle still has to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Everyone loves to rip on the US as one of the only countries that “won’t use metric” but I wonder how many places officially adopt metric but traditional measures are still in common use. In Taiwan it’s very common to buy things in 斤 jin, aka catty. It’s 600 g in Taiwan and slightly less or more in other Sinophone countries. Housing is also measured in 坪 píng, which is the square area of a standard tatami matt. I think Japan uses this too because in TW it’s a legacy of Japanese colonialism.
I think we’re trying to figure out what conclusion you draw from that. Do you think the cyclists are doing it just to annoy you? If not, then why? Isn’t it likely that the dedicated cycling infrastructure is less adequate than you assume?

Indeed, who did he have to kill to get one?!
Sorry about that ... I will revise it to be more consistent. Cozo is a bit ambiguous, so now it is usually called CozoDB.
Rightfully unpopular if I might say so. I spent the last 2 weeks learning Flutter. I'm not having a good time. Compared to Vue everything takes so much longer. There's a reddit thread in the Flutter community about what people think could be improved upon.
Flutter should decide on standards regarding routing and state management. It's all a hot mess. There should be standards, but Flutter doesn't have them. They're still stuck in the Android way of doing things. There is only 1 oidc auth solution and it only works on mobile.
Null safety and checking is a PITA.
And it's overly verbose.

However dotnet MAUI isn't any better.

So I'd rather do electron with Vue/Quasar. Why bother with native apps?
Qt is too expensive.
>> I quickly realized that running everything on WSL is the only way to go.

If you are using WSL for all the development, why not run Linux on bare metal?

This could be done as a separate development machine or by a clean re-install on the laptop depending on how much you need Windows.
It's for administrative tasks, not coming up with policy.
I have met and seen online a lot of people that see no problems with vanilla Javascript. I honestly don't even know where to begin here.
You're right, I should have read the Clang output more closely. The part about final inheritance makes sense, too, because otherwise a subclass could override the behaviour and count_concept() would have to support that.

Which is incredibly selfish and hypocritical, it drives up resource consumption across the world at a massive scale. Not just in terms of energy use, but it also forces people to buy more powerful machines, intensifying electronic waste problems.
