I’m not sure if the service is available by you. But the people who does home inspections before the transaction can also do home inspections after. They will give you a lot more detail advice. For example, they can tell you how long your roof will last and what you need for plumbing. It usually costs about $500-1000 depending on size and detail. It’s well worth the price because they don’t sell you anything.
Wyze for the win. Their early stuff was super hackable with open source operating systems. I’m glad they’re challenging the big players with a genuinely good and cheap product. Now I sound like a paid shill but it’s truly one service that I’m glad exists.
YouTube is a gold mine for how-to videos on home DIY.

Might be worth investing time in learning fundamentals, like electricity for one (if you lack the knowledge). Knowing how to use a multimeter for debugging is very useful.

Rule number one (for me) is: buy good quality tools and the return will soon happen. A DeWalt power-drill might be expensive up front but it won't flinch when you have to drill through a wall - and again in 10 years!
Better to just start using Firefox multi-account containers. An add-on like I Still Don't Care About Cookies ensures you aren't bothered by the popups, and temporary containers are wiped upon tab closure so anything those sites leave behind is automatically deleted.

My thoughts are: the read-only unathenticated API should cover 80% of the API usage for apps. If there is adoption I will think about the authenticated portions.

I was referring to U+D800–U+DFFF being reserved just because UTF-16 happens to use 0xD800–0xDFFF for its encoding scheme. Contrast valid code points U+0080–U+00FF, while (most of) 0x80–0xFF are used by UTF-8.

Isn't part of the idea that corn makes more sense to subsidize because it multi-use? I.e., it can be food and fuel?

>"This is an energy crop that can be grown on marginal land,"

This seems like the lede and comparison to corn is missing point and opening itself up to counterpoints that detract from the value of using grass on land that would otherwise probably only be used for grazing.
7-zip's GUI is basically an incomplete WinRar clone, and WinRar has a couple more features. Most notably recovery records to be able to recover from mild bit rot, but it can also preserve more NTFS attributes of your files (saving alternate streams, security records, turning hard links into links) and can optionally respect the Archive attribute of files (archiving only files with the attribute set, clearing the attribute after, optionally deleting them).

It's a very solid archival program. I wouldn't recommend that everyone runs out and buys it, and I use 7zip more than Winrar, but it does have some advantages, especially on Windows.
How practical is it really? They’ve been talking about ethanol from cellulosic biomass since at least the 1970s but progress seems about as fast as fast breeder reactors.

This is not my personal belief, my personal belief is a lot more nuanced than this, but I do find this to be a very compelling argument against him:

Snowden is a half-way martyr.

He made the decision to die for a cause, and then backed out of that decision and swore an oath of allegiance to modern day Hitler.

He showed an example of someone who didn't like the consequences of his actions and if you want to escape the consequences of your actions, you do that via corruption: swearing loyalty to someone powerful and reaping the benefits of that loyalty (them shielding you from consequences) in exchange for your servitude. In order to prevent being a victim of corruption, he chose to engage in corruption.

Him and Wikileaks together delegitimized the American government and ultimately created a fertile ground for a fascist to be elected president. (I think it's more arguable that Obama was the person who delegitimized the establishment).

His ultimate fate, to see his legacy largely ignored and unaddressed, to become a slave to a dictator, and to see that his oath of allegiance calls into question his sacrifice... I don't think America could have created a harsher punishment if we had tried.

I think America's founding fathers would understand and be sympathetic to his plight, but be disappointed.

FWIW, I have been in rooms talking about hardening infrastructure against government malfeasance. There were a lot of engineers at companies mentioned in prism docs that said "lets assume this is true, how did it happen," and worked on hardening infrastructure against the attacks they could imagine. So while outwardly his sacrifice seems largely in vain, it lives in the memory of many engineers who see hardening their systems against government action as a real importance many of whom donate to many organizations like the EFF.
"Mourning the death of children is as ancient a literary trope as any."

It might have been different between infants and slightly older children. The really young ones died all too often.
If I understand you correctly, you think that statement is knocking utf-8. And if I understand the article correctly, it's not. Something here is incongruous, and it may very well be me. I believe the author is knocking how the C language poorly supports utf-8 due to legacy issues with supporting wide characters, which aligns with your criticism.
Jokes on all of you, it's a Canuck word.
It had an external unit that recived data wirelessly, but it is not clear if it processed that locally, or transmitted it to a remote facility. Even if it did local processing, it may have needed to periodically check in to keep functioning, or to upload data to a company server.

If not fully coerced (on an argument that that is the company's property), it was still most likely it was semi-corcerced, in that the company was bankrupt, and while they would have had funds put aside for removal of implants at end of trial, and contracts with a neruosurgeon, once they officially liquidated that would vanish.

If it needed to be removed later (like once the battery ran out) well it would need to go through the public health system, which could lead to delays. If they did not have her go to the very same surgeon, for any reason, then the one who did see her would probably need to decide how to approach removal based on what they can see in imaging (since they won't have official instructions from the company), etc.

Nothing about this is ideal. Which is the medical ethicists' point. Lifechanging implants like these need to be supported for the life of the patient, especially if they cannot be easily replace with some newer improved version.

And while this was only a medical trial, a production vision implant was abandoned by its creator ( https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obsolete ), and while the implants do continue to work, if anything goes wrong, they won't get fixed. Like even if the problem was in an external parts that a normal electronics hacker could fix, nobody outside the company knows how they work, what could break, and obviously they are not releasing source code or schematics or anything. So you would need to try to find somebody to reverse engineering a cutting edge medical device, to try to fix it.

(This company was merged into another as an alternative to bankruptcy, so perhaps not all hope is lost. The merged company is mainly focused on its drug delivery system, but with respect to the implants the merged company's CEO intends to do what is "right from an ethical perspective.", which for the retinal implants presumably means providing basic technical and medical support, while no longer manufacturing the retinal implants or accessories. They had a brain implant version in trials pre-merger, and it is unclear if the company will move forward with them when the clinical trial ends.)

In many (but not all) cases, that's true enough, yes.
I don't follow. How does it not help in the fight against climate change? It may be less effecient than central power but it still reduces emissions compared to fossil fuels, and it's not a zero sum game as it does not take away capacity from central power.
This is a review of Kate Beaton's book Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands (2022).
It is worth pointing out that even with a 10/10 sight, moderating reddit is a nightmare. If it wasn't for the mod toolbox plugin, I would have probably resorted to making CLI tools instead(many of which I have since reddit offers an extremely limited options for moderating, nuking comments, threads and so on). That said, this is absolutely nothing compared to the unholy mess that is moderating from android/ios. Most moderators plainly refuse to do it. I moderate a big sub and what we do is we have a discord chat and whenever something needs to be taken care of fast and someone notices it on mobile, they simply alert everyone on discord so someone near a computer can handle it.
ASCII was always a multi-byte codeset. The characters were designed so that one could use overstrike to write things like &aacute; (á) by writing a BS ' or ' BS a. This worked for most lower-case characters that have diacritical marks in Latin scripts. It didn't work for upper-case characters unless the terminal or printer understood this and had special fonts, but then, that's why Spanish historically doesn't require accenting upper-case letters.

This all goes back to typewriters, where this is how one typically wrote accented characters.

And most of this got lost. Though we still use overstrike for underline and bold in the terminal.
I like the high impact dynamic of this thinking.

Artificial photosynthesis may be key to sustained life beyond Earth
I came to say this. It's not speed, it's comfort. I've been using Dvorak on my Kinesis Advantage since mid 90'es [1]. I don't actually think Dvorak is the best possible layout, but as the video points out, we are already in the realm of diminishing returns.

[1] I still use Qwerty on non-Kinesis keyboards and this fact is enough for my muscle memory to eliminate any mental overhead of switching.
None hunt out the one ton nun.

It's a silly sentence, but that's what makes learning Dvorak so fun.
And to make things worse, corn farmers are concentrated in Iowa which was one of the first states in the presidential primary. So they had outsized influence over who gets chosen as president and what campaign promises they have to make in order to get elected.
There's a couple of different "wake up" signals that can reach deeper into water. Their biggest limitation is very low bandwidth, so an attack sub will emerge (/send up a buoy on a tether) to get an updated tactical map.

None of those serious issues are intrinsic problems with public sector unions, though. Most of them would exist even without the union playing a role, and a well structured union could also be preventing them.
> One popular example is the expression "sacrificed on the altar of progress", and the works of philosophers such as Adorno and Horckheimer on the topic, who argued that human sacrifice just takes a different form in modern civilisation, but is still present e.g. as victims of car traffic, suicides from depression or industrial accidents. Imho, this only serves to hinder any kind of productive discussion because things tend to be not comparable in any way if terms are _that_ mushy.

I'm not talking about car (or chariot?) accidents here, I'm talking about literally thousands of people being executed on the grounds of a temple dedicated to Rome's chief god. Certainly people died in the Circus Maximus, and that is just sporting accident. I wouldn't even call gladiatorial combat human sacrifice, since it was mostly an entertainment spectacle in a more brutal time.

We're talking about Romans taking prisoners captured in war, marching them to one of the most significant religious locations within the sacred boundaries of the city, and executing them.

My issue with just trusting the ancients is that they sometimes aren't trustworthy. It's very possible that Rome didn't admit this was human sacrifice because Roman culture condemned human sacrifice, and kind of turned a blind eye to the ethics of this ritual.
I’m more familiar with the advancements in CRI in recent years than dUV (this is the first I’be heard of that) but LEDs can now be purchased with equivalent CRI.

The context of this discussion is incandescent color/perception/experience.
Ejs.
There was, but it was "many weeks of sporadic AQI 80" as opposed to "a week or two of continuous AQI 200" like 2020 was.
It's disturbing that you think it's even possible for such a statement to be objectively correct.
why would you even need to "learn", it comes naturally?

the school I went to also tried to push some crappy "correct" way to type on everyone. The teacher was moderately embarrased when I was able to type significantly faster without looking at the keyboard, because apparantly typing fast is only possible if following some special method..

dvorak is probably better, I dont know, but I type fast enough on qwerty
I see. Well, I don't think that would affect code in the same way. If they have already contributed it then it's out in the open, and unless the maintainer was doing something objectionable they wouldn't have a case, and even if they did it would only be enforceable in Germany.
"you seriously believe, without any doubt, that with a clearly labelled dvorak keyboard and no typing lessons you would not have learned to hunt-and-peck at increasingly higher speeds as you did with QWERTY, but instead put your fingers "on the home row" and used your pinkies?"

Yes.

Before I further argue with you, a simple question. I've learned Dvorak and been using it for years. Have you tried anything other than QWERTY for long enough to learn it? I am a hunt and peck QWERTY user and I touch type Dvorak. I've spent WAY more time formally trying to touch type QWERTY; I spent basically zero with Dvorak. (Obviously a lot of time to learn the layout. But I made zero extra effort to "touch type".)

What you believe to be a fundamental aspect of typing may be merely an accident of a keyboard layout that penalizes "proper" typing. To type "properly" with QWERTY takes work. To hunt and peck with Dvorak would take equal work, if not more. It is not natural with Dvorak. Why would your hands leave the home row? Only when the keys mean something other than letters entirely, like a WASD game.
It's environmentalists fault! (ignore how much we're overheating the planet)
> You could drive fine at 30fps on a regular monitor (SDR). More fps would help with aggressive/sporty driving of course.

What? This is preposterous.

Have you tried playing a shooter video game at 30 FPS? It's atrocious, you get rekt. There is a reason all gamers are getting 120 FPS and up.

30 FPS means 33 ms of latency. Driving on a highway, car moves over a meter before the camera even detects an obstacle. The display has it's own input lag, so does the operating system. Your total latency is going to be over 100ms, so the car will have travelled several meters. If a motorcyclist in front of you falls, you will feel the car crashing into his body before the image even appears on the screen.
TBH their appliances were never good quality compared to locally European or American manufactured ones. They always bet on tech enthusiasm and the short term wooing of the users. Their software is almost always short-term supported and degrade in quality very quickly.
Its too much effort to manage each app's update. In the age of smartphones they push an update once a day, sometimes it feels like every 5 secs.

Plus if you look at the app store updates, most of the apps post nonsense in the release notes such as "fixed bugs", "Thank you for being a user of Lyft this update will make your experience even better!", or the worst kind:

"You know how sometimes you just become aware of how much tension you're holding in your body, then take a deep breath and slowly let it out? This update is like that. It's still Slack, just with a tiny bit less friction."

HOGWASH Slack, this update will likely cause friction! If only those people that write this crap got laid off, the world would be a tiny bit better :/

Maybe its time to declutter software that you don't control in your life just like how people declutter stuff. Every item is an additional tiny mental burden and the same goes for each closed source app installed on your phone. Maybe its better if we just forgo any "benefits" the app may provide and not bother anymore.
The land-conversion from forest or grassland into farmland is a surprisingly large effect on the environment.

Making Ethanol from natural grasses and keeping the land natural is one of the best things we can do for the environment, as well as creating an alternative means of capturing solar energy.

You know... if we can get it to be commercially successful. If we can't sell the darn thing, then it'd never happen. But the theory is sound and enough prototypes have been created that we know how this works.
Yes, surrogate pairs is stupid. We should do away with UTF-16 and liberate the remaining 10 bits of codespace in UTF-8.

I wonder if we could get a sane Windows experience if ReactOS was a little bit more advanced in its drivers support. Microsoft's incentives with Windows are clearly not aligned with the customers'.
I did the same! Just wrote my own extensions for features I wanted and it was super easy and straight forward (albeit a little limited in firefox). Wrote one for pinning tabs on the right and wrote one to search through all open tabs with ctrl+f.
Quite nice how accessible this is!
...how is it not similar? A perl script sits on a always-on server, ready to execute. You call it. It executes.
Recycle Bin is oddly enough not idiomatic American english either (we would call it as you do).
Something more is necessary if "self-driving" is going to actually live up to its name at some point in the future, and I don't think the answer is 100% software.

At this point it's all about edge cases. Certain edge cases are impossible to overcome with just software + cameras alone.
This is hilarious, because when I was in grade school, "gotten" was considered incorrect English and you would be corrected or marked down for it.

I do hear "gotten" said occasionally in my part of the US, but it's not common. It's a bit like "ain't" in that way.

That's a pretty great example of begging the question. Can you explain why you think what he did was whistleblowing and not whatever he actually got charged with?

You are correct that it's an S-curve. It's always an S-curve. It's never an exponential forever. That said, parts of an S-curve can be close to exponential, for a substantial time.

> ... and we might be closer to the end than we are to the beginning.

For that to be the case, we'd have to be past the point of highest first derivative. My impression is that we aren't. We're either at it, or before it. (Hard to tell which, especially by gut feel, which is the only measure I've got, because hard numeric data on "GPT progress" is really scarce.)

We might be closer to the end than the beginning. I can't tell for sure. (That's how it goes, in the absence of hard data.) But my impression is that we're earlier than that.
Figured you were questioning dogma, so I also wanted to continue the conversation explicitly.
My guess - due to massive amount of AI generated pages. Google must be slowing things down until they figure it out.
