From the article:

Moreover, the country did not simply get lucky with particularly mild winter temperatures, as often alleged. The average winter temperature in the 2022/23 winter of 2.9°C was actually slightly colder than the average temperature over the four previous winters.
The article barely touches on it but the real threat isn't from the manufacturers producing newer and better processors, but rather from insurers/single payers not covering the cost of new processors. I deliberately use the word "threat" to answer the question that several other comments ask, or rather point out it's the wrong one: "Why does the processor need to be replaced with a newer model?" In ideal circumstances, it doesn't. But if the insurer/single payer has declared they will not pay for a new one for some ridiculous amount of time like 10 or 15 years after the previous are bought, then the user is under the constant threat that the old ones will break but not be replaceable.[0] That is only tangentially related to old models being replaced with new ones, although this may be the excuse that insurers/single payers use not to replace lost or broken processors, e.g. by insisting that the old ones be repaired even though that's no longer an option (granted, this example would be a combined problem with the payers and the manufacturers).

Apparently the upgrade threat is such an issue that the way even exceptional insurance avoids the issue (per my family's experience) is to purchase the user an extra processor at the same time as the processor is first purchased (or, eventually, upgraded): a preemptive replacement/backup unit. This way presumably the payer doesn't have to have on the books a difficult-to-quantify liability from needing to replace a lost/damaged processor with an unknown future model.

[0] Critical context: Unlike a hearing aid, the process of getting a cochlear implant physically destroys any residual hearing the user may have had. When the processor is not present and functioning, the user is completely deaf. And that's little-d deaf, which is the problem: cochlear implant users have explicitly chosen not to enter the big-D Deaf world (which largely rejects implants anyways), and so are completely dependent upon their devices functioning correctly.
And many more people die of heart disease than school bus fatalities, which is arguably more preventable. The point is that a school shooting represents an event that is so extreme, and so completely antithetical to society, that the members of any well-functioning society should have enough shared values to give such an event the level of importance it deserves.
A Go vendoring pattern that I've found very useful is to use two repositories, the first for the main "project" repository, then a second "vendoring" repository that imports the first as a module, and also vendors everything.

This may require a few extra tricks to plumb through, for example, to make all cmd's be externally importable (i.e. in the project repository, transform "cmd/foo/%.go" from being an unimportable "package main" into an importable "cmd/foo/cmdfoo/%.go", then have a parallel "cmd/foo/main.go" in the vendoring repository that is just "func main() { cmdfoo.Main() }", same as you have in the project repository in fact).

Vendoring aside, this is also a useful pattern if you're "go:embed"ing a collection of build artefacts coming from another source, like a frontend HTML/JS/CSS project.
Pick up Actix or Axum and clone() and unwrap() all day for your first month. Write some little web servers for fun. Sqlx is great for sql, and you can do some heavy hitting stuff like media streaming and transcoding as you get deeper into it. It's got good torch bindings for ML too.

Before long you'll be running the compiler in your head and rapidly churning out code.
The way I see it, I'd expect that the generated comments would often get some human attention immediately afterward. Even if they don't get edited but there's just a crude "filter" where the developer keeps some comments and throws out those which are undesirable in some way, that's very useful signal which can't be re-generated from the source and thus needs to be stored somewhere along with the code.

100% agreed!

We thought we were building a better world. We were so wrong.

I'm convinced that what went wrong was monetisation related though. The internet was great when people made things for fun and to educate each other. It was the perverse impulse of monetization that caused recommendation algorithms, the push for 'engagement' caused the bubbles and the inflation of anger posts. The pervasive tracking. The bait and switching. The enshittification.

This is one of the reasons why I block all ads and never whitelist anything.
The compute requirements are reasonable, but the memory requirements are extremely high, even with some upcoming breakthroughs like 4 bit bitsandbytes.
Valid argument for using a VPN: you are better off being spied on by a government on the other side of the planet rather than your own.

Your own government can very easily do things to harm you, like throw you in prison or allow private actors to use tort/defamation/etc law to destroy you financially. A government on the other side of the planet - especially a country which doesn’t get along with your own - has far less motivation to do so. Your local ISP has to comply with local government and court orders - a VPN provider on the other side of the planet may have zero motivation for doing so. They’d have to comply with their own country’s orders, but their government/courts may lack the motivation to do that for your country’s government/courts
Actix and Axum are so easy. They're a drop in replacement for Golang or Flask.

>> The Ukrainian SSR ceremoniously proclaims its intention to become a permanently neutral state in the future, which will be out of military blocks and will be committed to three non-nuclear principles: not to accept, not to produce and not to acquire the nuclear weapon. (1990)

This was superseded by the new constitution that was adopted in 1996 as the Ukrainian SSR no longer exists this document no longer applies.

But I’m curious if you are saying that Ukraine is forced to follow this why isn’t Russia forced to follow the Budapest memorandum in which in pledged along with other nuclear powers at the time not to invade or threaten the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Not 100%; with less viewers there will be less word of mouth about Netflix shows. Maybe that will be offset by paying less to license third party stuff with less viewers though.

Valid reasons to use a VPN:

- Download torrents if you are in a jurisdiction which routinely goes against torrent-seeders.

I do also own a Roland VR-09, which by the way is incredibly hackable courtest of Ctrlr and a couple of custom panels. What is pretty cool about the Roland is, in organ mode the keys respond to hair trigger touch like a real B3, so you can do those really fast funky effects. I will probably always return to it for organ, at least until I can afford a real Hammond.

The arguments people are making about having a piece of hardware that you just turn on is certainly valid, but they are also comparing to a stock laptop running a general purpose OS, and also, clearly can afford to spend the money.

Google is already forced to judge the case. If someone fills enough bogus cases (bogus in Googles opinion) or a ridiculous one they (google) can stop processing them.

But I do think deleting all web browsers is a very reasonable judgement from Google. No more Chrome, no more Safari, no more Edge, linux would probably have to be banned entirely because you know, everyone will find a way to install a browser and visit that Hebrew website to watch TV programs in Hebrew, all... what is it, 9 million users of the language? I'm sure it will be just a slight inconvenience for the 5 billion/rest of us.

We do have to be reasonable at times.
Continuing the justified, if cynical take, in the near-term I'd worry less about privacy, and more about ads. Microsoft has a track record of putting overt and covert advertising directly into the OS. With deep system-wide integration and awareness of commercial applications, how long it'll take before Windows Copilot turns into a sneaky salesman, preferentially suggesting commercial tools and solutions of the highest bidders, while Microsoft gulps up a firehose of money coming from approximately every company of the planet paying to slot themselves into model fine-tuning?

Don't take that is an indicator, Haruki Murakami often reads similarly and he seems to be a well adjusted person.
Ask HN: Which (physical) book should I get to learn JavaScript/TS?
I'll ask the question about me specifically, as it's too generic otherwise and there exist more than enough articles about this already. I'll describe my circumstances, so everyone can assess for themselves how relevant it is to them.

I am a DevOps Engineer. I describe myself as a "good conceptual programmer": I understand algorithms, data structures, etc. (I used to do some C, which I credit with a lot of that.)
I also have very good knowledge about the internet: networking, routing,
IP, DNS, HTTP, its methods, headers, return codes, API best practices, etc.

However, my knowledge rapidly drops to zero when front-end / the browser is involved. For reference, when I last working with HTML/JS, you couldn't rewrite the URL in the user's browser without reloading the page. Single-page apps seemed like magic to me until I figured out this is now possible.

So I (assume I) would like/need a book that doesn't spend too much time with algorithmics / data structure explanations, but at the same time explains all the lower-level relevant concepts: DOM and friends, execution contexts, browser-side security& permissions, local storage, etc.

I used to say I hated JS, but I must admit at this stage that's mostly just ego anymore, as I really don't know 2023 JS. (Also, should I just go TS? Or is TS only accessible to people who already know all of the context of JS, alluded to above?)

For reference, I felt vaguely the same about Python, but after reading and developing a crush on Fluent Python (Luciano Ramalho), I really understood the language, conventions, community, and now love it!!
I am effectively looking for the same with something I can develop webpages with—which has gotta be JS/TS, right?

Thanks!

We're actively working on moving that customer off Netware entirely. The main reason they can't get away from it is they're running a custom god program that manages the entire business, and it's tied in pretty tightly with their old configuration. The whole thing is in Delphi 7.

I have tried to sign up for my own Netflix account repeatedly over the last three years. For some reason, they don't like my phone number. It's just a regular phone number, on an American SIM card, when I'm solidly (and always) in America. It's the only one I have.

But they don't like it, so I can't use Netflix at all unless I sign into someone else's account (with that person's consent), usually my mom, who lives in the next town over but is not in my household, or my brother who lives farther away.

I'm only willing to make so many attempts to convince a company to let me give them money before I decide their service isn't worth the hassle.

A while back, my Ubuntu LTS system kept badgering me to upgrade to a new Ubuntu. I finally relented, and installed the latest. It installed without any errors, but the display was all messed up.

After much fiddling and googling about, I deduced that apparently didn't support the graphics card anymore. It never said "don't install me, cuz it won't work with the card I used to work with." It just died on it. I wound up reinstalling the older Ubuntu.

I don't believe there was any conspiracy by the Ubuntu developers. No conspiracy is necessary - it's really hard to not break things. I knew some people who worked in appcompat at MS, and they had a lot of stories to tell about how hard they had to work to not break things. A lot of software misused Windows APIs making it hard for MS to improve things.

> it cannot establish a connection to a non-CA TLS endpoint

That's plain wrong. Self signed certificates and internal CAs work just fine.

The whole point of HTTP/3 is: You can't establish an unencrypted connection. And that's a very good idea!

I'm running at the very moment a HTTP/3 development server on this machine here. I did not have to ask anybody for allowance to do so.

(Actually I'm right now building a WebTransport server. WebTransport has even more strict rules for certificates but even there it's still possible to connect to an endpoint that uses a self-signed cert that isn't signed by any CA cert.)

> now I can run `podman` from powershell but not from fedora. I'm about to try `sudo dnf install podman` and hope it connects to the podman-machine? I dunno, it's not exactly clear

One thing you could do is just symlink or wrap the Windows podman.exe as `podman` on your WSL guests, and rely on WSL interop at the CLI instead of sharing a socket. This is probably what Docker Desktop does, based on your description (I thought it (used to?) share(s) a socket from the dedicated WSL guest it creates to your other WSL guests).

Alternatively, if you install Podman Desktop via Scoop and have WSL interop enabled for your guests (so that your Windows binaries appear on your Linux guests' PATHs), I think you'll get the same `podman` as your Windows PowerShell sessions access onto your WSL guests for free.
