I have thought of using a DC-DC ATX supply and eliminate the inverter but I want 120V for other things if needed. But the cost and labor of going DC-DC is higher than DC-AC-DC so the goofy inefficient route it is :-/
> at which point you do have to wonder whether house prices would just head back up to the stratosphere in short order

Not sure why you're assuming they'd ever come back from the stratosphere in the first place. All another rate cut would do is untether housing prices entirely from earth's gravitational field, as they disappear into space, like the prospect of homeownership for most people.
> It would require every large social media company to actively support competitors that are cloning their website, require them to manage the database for those competitors, and do it at no cost.

Well...yes. That seems like the point, to me. Having data siloed by massive megacorporations who abuse that data to generate ludicrous levels of quarterly profit does not benefit us as a society.

I do not believe that any particular business model deserves a guarantee that it be allowed to continue in perpetuity.

What this would do is force social media services to compete on features and user-friendliness, rather than just network effects, dopamine farming, and lock-in. It would lower the barriers to entry for competitors in the social media market, and lower the barriers to exit for social media users who want to move from one network to another.
That's all on the backend so it doesn't really matter to me as long as no JS is sent on the frontend. For the benefits NextJS gives me, like TypeScript, I'm fine with that.
There are way too many replies here which seem like they fundamentally don't understand that you can't actually write an algorithm to solve the problem they imagine is easy.

Rust does have Results that it knows can't fail - for genericity reasons - these are Infallible results, for example try_into() when into() would have worked is Infallible, Rust uses an empty type (equivalent to but for now not literally identical to ! aka Never) for this, so the compiler knows this type can't be reified, it needn't do code generation for this never-happens error.

But there's a crucial distinction between Rust's compiler can see this is Infallible and I can show it won't fail and Rice's theorem means that gap is insurmountable even just in principle.
> So you think those of us normal people using those facilities should tolerate violent behavior to save money?

No. From the article: "building more social housing, hiring more social workers, investing in mental health workers, schools, community centres, and everything else needed to address problems before they reach the library’s doors."

> Why do we even have jails then?

Good question. They don't seem to be working very well.

> Its slow erosion of our responsibilities. If AI can do some of your work with minimal supervision then sooner or later managers will figure it out and reduce you job scope. Get an intern to do it.

No.

Quite the reverse.

AI is a super intern.

Both super productive, and super clueless.

It's the interns (and possibly their managers) who are at risk.

AI is a liability in any area where you can't afford to slip up.
No, it's because the SCTs in the certificate have invalid signatures.
I think that $127 is for when then first tried to pass it in the 80s. But even after inflation, and price raises, and whatever calculations we do... That's a ridiculously cheap price for a security feature. That's not even the price for installing a bunch of airbags.

I'm not in the market (nor the region), but for a new semi-truck plus bed I guess you're going to expend north of $200K. A thousand or two in security features is absolutely nothing. So instead of a low percentage of vehicles expending a little money on security features, they want the rest of the world to buy way more expensive and ridiculously big cars? Upgrading a single vehicle to a SUV would be way more expensive than their upgrades.

Regular cars have all sorts of active and passive safety features for the people inside, and for pedestrians and other vehicles outside, and that's fine. I don't tell pedestrians to buy an armor if they want to be safe when I'm driving around.
I think they are too smart to override it. See the Streisand effect. If the old subreddits go permanently dark, new subreddits with mods who don't care about the protest will fill the void.
Bear in mind I’m just reading the product page specs here but if you want me to measure mine I can dig it up!
They weren't suggesting quitting Slack permanently.
I agree with your point but there definitely is some brigading going on by the "pro-blackout" crowd. I moderate a small-ish subreddit (~6500 subscribers) and while our poll to blackout received overwhelming support including from well-known members in our community, I definitely noticed that after sharing in the /r/ModCoord thread our intent to blackout the thread started receiving a lot of supporting comments from questionable brand new accounts (or accounts with low karma/had never interacted with the community before). And this was without linking the thread at all - these users were clearly coming to the subreddit, finding the post and making pro-blackout comments to push the community towards a shutdown.
> I'm just 1. slightly frustrated that caddy's author never seems to miss a chance for self-promotion (at least he's started alluding to the fact that it's his project),

Sorry that I happen to be the author. It's really not about that though -- it just matters that an ACME-native HTTPS server exists. We need more integrated fully-native ACME clients.

> actually curious whether any other ACME clients are implementing that fallback.

There are at least one or two others. I don't recall which ones at the moment but I think Certify the Web may be one. Edit: mod_md is another apparently!
r/Bakchodi is the funniest subreddit even though I only get 2% of it

Those dudes are legitimately insane
Why are you doing something that hasn't been done a million times before? Suspicious. You're using it wrong.
It's been... A very long time since I've been quoted that little for an oil change, by dealership or third party chain or an independent. And I do not drive an Audi either :-)

Few thoughts / possibilities

- was work done as part of larger work, as incremental?

- does 25$ charge include parts?

- was this a quick turnaround lube shop or an actual qualified mechanic

- do you have a relationship

- what's their business model? A lot of them have loss leaders because when they change your oil for 25 they'll find out you also need a brake change or filter change or or or
Generally, this is more a concern with data than source code. This type of stuff happens all the time and is a big problem for companies. Hence a category of Data Loss Prevention.

Most of the concern is going to be on customer data, business relationship data, and confidential internal data. Companies don't want you running your quarterly business review through an unapproved tool. Even though, it's unlikely to happen. It does happen.
The nice thing about visual stuff is that it is self-explanatory. Instead of needing to read a book about UML first, maybe just use some prose in addition to your diagrams, and you don't need UML at all then. That's also more flexibel.
Networking isn't necessarily and generally shouldn't be about formal NETWORKING events and doing "delicate social/power games" as you put it. You just work with people, talk to them at conferences, join activity groups that you're interested in, etc. Every job I've had since grad school (admittedly not a lot) has come through people I've known professionally in some capacity.
"Useless" is a strong word. Definitely a bit less useful than intended though.

Before UML, it's hard to capture the state of corporate software development that allowed the insanity to take part. I mean, UML was the marriage of two different approaches to drawing object models that were locked in a battle: OMT and Booch method. There weren't tons of open forums for discussion and debate like the internet has now, there were conferences and such and these guys were basically trying to create formal methods for objects in a vacuum.

It was kind of existential stuff for a lot of the smaller players in the industry, everyone saw value in this newer approach to building software. "Reusable components" seemed huge. Tooling was expensive, training was expensive. Microsoft was moving as a scary rate, connect your cart to the wrong horse and it could cost you the company... On some of the usenet forums, about the most open discussion there was at the time, I read debates about the virtue of C++ style multiple inheritance vs single inheritance and there were product matrices for programming tools that had check boxes for crap like that. C++ and CLOS both supported multiple inheritance so to the casual observer they were "better." Now I've never seen serious industrial software written in CLOS or anyone even considering it but it "had the features." It was just a different and crazy time, kind of amazing how open source/free/libre has altered things, the entire culture of building software is different and probably more healthy.

Anyone want to shit on design patterns next?
My point is to say where does it end? What about the devs of BitTorrent/uTorrent? "Everybody knows that these two programs are mostly used for piracy". How about the whole p2p concept? "Everybody knows p2p means pirate 2 pirate".

People are dumping whole movies on Twitter right now. So Twitter staff should go to jail?

Nobody should go to jail for piracy period.

Hope I made my point clear.
Speaking of around semantics, which brings me to the CLOS topic, I first learned about AOP in 2005 at a live presentation by Kiczales.

He made disparaging remarks about Lisp and said that CLOS should be pronounced "see loss". Remember, that's the author of the Art of the Metaobject Protocol, and of the Closette project (portable implementation of CLOS-like object system).
That figures are really impressive. A single node is still useful for finetuning smaller models. Apple could move the needle in this market a bit
Perhaps Crank.js[1] would belong on this list

It could have nothing to do with speed and efficiency, it could be "this building project gives me more work, I want it done so I can slack off again."
Odd choice to fixate on a clause buried in a hypothetical and ignore the thrust of the sentence, but I support your hermeneutical decisions.

r/politics won't go dark because the mods are paid to spam posts
Ugh, u may not like the following but the devices you are using to get on the internet, are used to collect a treasure trove of information, to conduct information warfare.
And regardless of whatever your bullshit political specrum is.... this is a platform for stalking, propaganda, tracking and killing Human Beings.

Period.

Street Cred: I have common sense.

There is only one outcome: Defense spending, Military Death.
Actually. The average internet user would think himself pretty smart repeating low effort strawmen like yours while repeating heavily propagandized mantras such as "It's safe and effective" and "It's just 2 weeks! Can't you just stay put for 2 weeks?"
Yeah, sure, changing their platform 3 times in the space of some twenty years is just marketing and UX from Apple.
They are just a bunch of MBAs.
Sometimes I feel like I am reading slashdot.
The difference is that it's a destructive behavior.

If 5% of teens use drugs, we're going to team them how to score fentanyl-free coke?
Yeah, the biggest issue for me as a Reddit user is despotic mods. And frankly, this shut down is another good example of how problematic they are. There was important information these past few days I couldn't get to because mods locked it away behind this blackout. A handful of mods had polls, but for most subs the mods just decided they were going to lock away all the user created content, and did so without the community having a say. Which is ironic, because that's the same thing they're complaining about Reddit corporate doing.
Nice thing about nostr is your account isn't tied to a server. The servers are just relays, and your messages are authenticated via pgp key. So your client will present you with a default set of servers, and if you need to change it later you don't need to recreate an account to do so, just tweak a setting.

The nostr community right now mostly want to replace twitter rather than reddit, but in principle it would be possible.
To be fair, fields have conventions that help quite a bit. Matrices are almost always (I have seen exceptions) capital letters.

I used to be an advocate for some kind of universal notation, but honestly it is not practical. A useful notation for one paper can be incredibly cumbersome in another paper in the same field. This gets worse if you’re paper is at the border of two fields and their notational conventions are mutually inconsistent. It’s best to just have a notation section that sets forth your convention in the document and stick to it. Ultimately, if you’re reading a paper in an area in which you are knowledgeable and can’t parse the notation quickly, the author failed to write the paper well.

As Whitehead said, “By relieving the brain of all unnecessary work, a good notation sets it free to concentrate on more advanced problems, and in effect increases the mental power of the race.”
There are certainly areas where idiomatic Rust needs to fight against the borrow checker. If that wasn't the case, things like `ouroborous` and `pin_project` wouldn't be as widely used as they are.

I supports the blackout.

Yet, addicted me still occasionally opens reddit. And all the content I see is from communities that did not black out, or returned, so all the content is from communities that at least a part of my says I shouldn't want to see.

Kinda kills the fun.
> Am I poor?

Probably not but the comment doesn't seem to engage with their point. Let's say the government had an incentive program for dealers to collect money for buying back the consumer's current vehicle at an increased price but only if the consumer chooses to purchase an electric vehicle. Would it have been a closer decision, even if marginal (even if you still choose the non-EV option)? Even if you don't, someone else will choose the EV option because it's ultimately cheaper.
How I Helped to Make Fischer Black Wealthier (1996) [pdf]
In the 1970's, Fisher Black (of Black-Scholes fame) spotted an arbitrage opportunity between Value Line futures contracts (an early version of the equal weighted S&P index) and the underlying stocks.

The value Line futures contracts were supposed to track the performance of a basket of stocks represented by the Value Line Index. However, due to an error in the way the market calculated the price of the Value Line futures (which were a geometric index), there was an error in the market pricing.

Black, who at the time was at Goldman Sachs, was one of the first to notice this error, and helped the firm make a ton of money, and this trade helped him become a partner there. This article is from the POV of one of a group of finance professors who were on the other side of the trade, who didn't realize the error until it was too late.
Myself I am a fan of the NiMH rechargeables in AA and AAA format. My dental hygienist wanted me to get an electric toothbrush, I found the bottom-of-the-line model that takes AA batteries for about $15 less than a model with an integrated battery which is totally easy to use with NiMH batteries.

I also had some old FRS radios

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service

that I took out of mothballs. These had proprietary battery packs that can be replaced with AA's or AAA's, I found the old battery packs had gone bad but breathed new life in them with NiMH batteries.
And the money laundering places.
Many on HN (and elsewhere) will lament the fact that there is no way to read about or test-drive your project without signing up (aside from going to GitHub). Many of us guard our emails/logins quite jealously, myself included. Please consider adding some of what you included in the description of this post on your site. Right now, it looks no different to me than a random login form I encountered on the Internet.

That being said, I caved and set up an account with a temp email and the password 'password' (might wanna check on those password security rules) just to play with it so I could give some constructive feedback. Unfortunately, generating a story isn't working (the spinner is spinning infinitely) and I see a few errors and warnings in the Developer Console. I'm not sure what the Short Stories page is supposed to show, either, but it also appears to be malfunctioning.

I don't mean to eviscerate your project - it is always exciting and scary to share something with the world. This needs a little more work before it's ready for show-and-tell, though, IMO. I'm not even sure what I would use this for. Best of luck.
Reddit official app and new website both suck, majority of my friends use reddit, but none of them use official clients - all third party apps or old.reddit.

Seawater is a source of calcium, and it looks like desalination concentrate is an option for limited scale production:

"Seawater desalination concentrate—a new frontier for sustainable mining of valuable minerals" (2022)

> "The metallic elements found in the highest concentration are sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium, which have been commercially extracted as the chlorides, sulfates, and carbonates while magnesium has been extracted as the hydroxide."
ICQ? AIM? AOL chat rooms?

I think there were many options at the time.

Maybe the DCC transfer and easy scriptabilty thanks to Khaled Mardam-Bey's mIRC might be a valid claim.

Perhaps also the impermanence of the history of the channels afforded certain types of interactions that you wouldn't do with you know, theoretically forever scrollbacks.

I guess this brings us back to classical marketing about how you can't have a sustainable differentiated product based on negatives. (as in, this is not the bad guy). You need to have something in the affirmative
Well we don't really know, as we have no blind test for this. Science on humans is hard.
It's unprofessional to do this in conflict with your company's interests. Use your own hobby projects to learn instead of leaving a maintenance project for your coworkers.

It also creates an invisible bias towards worse companies in your next position, because smart companies are wary about this kind of behavior, and will be savvy to filter out candidates that have displayed it.
That would make sense, since the longest lifetime of an unstable copper isotope is ~13 hours, and so chemical separation plus a week of waiting would give you a low background. By comparison, iron has Fe-60, a naturally occurring gamma-ray emitter with a 2.6M year half-life, and 10 million years is too long to wait. For iron shielding, you'd need isotopic separation to remove the Fe-60, which is wicked expensive.
You don't take an aeronautics course when you buy a plane ticket, because 99% of people don't want to do that. I've been a nerd for ~40 years, I used to live on Usenet, I understand federation inside out, and I don't want to learn another protocol just to try a new website.

Blindly clicking through a ToS while chuckling that 'nobody reads that shit lol' is in fact a better user experience for almost everyone. If your approach were so great, there would be physical cities whose population consisted entirely of architects and engineers.

I maintain my motorcycles but the romance around it is just a way to moralize fixing the consequences of my own negligence and incompetence:) That said, there's a life or death gravity to it, as the failure mode of a bike in motion can get a bit runny - and the romance is an instance of the idea that physical competence is fundamentally moral, which goes back to the stoics and Aristotle, and it underpins a lot of the hacker ethic.

The shortest summary of it I could describe is from the concept of "trueness," where you have a wheel or a reference point, a straight edge, or even just geometry, so you can physically apprehend what something is supposed to do as an objective ideal, and then you use that reference to reason, refine, and gauge your effort against it. Like the process of truing a wheel. Once you have an idea of what the perfect case is, chosing to align to that case is essentially moral.

In the case of a motorcycle, someones life depends on the integrity of your alignment to ensuring the trueness of the moving parts together. The effect of people generally choosing this now-moral alignment to precise measures and ideals produces desirable outcomes. This is what I think makes bike maintenance and other physical competencies philosophical, as their logic translates into metaphors pretty seamlessly.

Great article anyway. His comment on the public good of providing live saving organs is funny and accurate:

> The supply of organs and tissue from motorcycle riders has gone up in recent decades, especially in the 22 states that still don’t have helmet laws.

It's why EMT's call them donor-cycles.
> Federation is confusing and alienating to non-technical users, and nerds who love federation tend to have a mediocre grasp of social dynamics and gloss over the inevitable abuses

Doesn't this also describe Reddit mods?
to the contrary, the whole reason patterns like sequence diagrams are so great is because they make it clear when you're trying to put too much information into a single visualization

Do you have any control or power to that decision? Or at least any leverage to pull?

If you (and your teammates) can’t do anything to stop or at least delay that decision, it’s the time to update your resume and start interviewing other companies.
My opinion on career ladders and titles has zigzagged back and forth over the years. Today I'm in the camp that titles are, to put it succinctly, somewhat useful.

Sure, you could be idealist and say that everyone should be judged on their own merits rather than a scale. Some companies don't have ladders. Out of big tech Netflix probably lasted the longest. And then they caved in [1]. Understanding why they finally decided to do it might highlight the practical considerations of why companies have ladders.

Also from what I am able to gather OP is a white dude. That's fine, but we shouldn't underestimate how a job title helps people from underrepresented groups. For a sampling read some of the interviews at StaffEng [2].
