> After much research, my conclusion is that my HVAC system didn't have one of the wires connected, Common, C. This was not a problem until some update that caused the rest of the wires to be insufficient to recharge completely.

My Ecobee doesn't have a battery at all, so that's something I had to deal with immediately upon installation. Luckily, I had an unused wire going to my own thermostat that I could repurpose. I believe it also came with a kit that would allow it to use a nonstandard signaling protocol so it could get needed power even if I didn't have an extra wire.

I'm kind of puzzled why a Nest would even have a battery. Just a kludge to allow unreliable installation in places that don't have the proper wiring?

One of the things I hate about modern software/product engineering is the over-reliance on updates and the mindset that aggressively obsoleting "old" versions. It creates a huge amount of unreliability and wasted time. IMHO, updates break things as much as they fix them.

> Who knows though. It was fine for the first few years, aside from when my power company overrode my settings on hot days and my kid had a life threatening fever.

Could they do that through the Nest, or did they have a separate cutout on the AC?

My home has a remote operated cutout, which I'd assumed wad inactive until I randomly read by bill very carefully and realized it was active even though I never signed up for it (apparently the previous homeowner had it active, and that carried forward to my account).

Elo/Trueskill sounds like a solid idea.

When you go to rate a book the system asks you if it was better or worse (maybe same) then a book of you previously read closest in rating or some hidden matchmaking rating (MMR).

I think having books having both a personal and global score would be nice as well.

I don't think it would be possible for someone to change their rating but that may be a feature.

I also don't think this solves recommendation though it may be useful as a feature.

You can say the exact same thing about driving a traditional ICE vehicle 5+hours due to traffic. EV is a bit less convenient on road trips - yes; but it's much more convenient every other day of the year if you have a home charger.
I can't answer you why Zig keeps showing up on HN (except for the surface-level answer that people keep submitting and upvoting it) but in terms of not being used in production, the Bun project, a Node/Deno alternative, is seeing a good deal of momentum by the people who like JavaScript a bit too much. It's probably the most widely used Zig project so far, including in production.

OAuth Developer Experience
I'm not using both. The first version of my tool used Ansible. The second version used Terraform. They were written 4 years apart. My users are not devops savvy. They use runbook forms to call into my API giving them a very simple UI that requires almost zero input. The object model includes lifecycling so certain attributes can be changed, etc. and validation done to ensure only a correct network is output. This isn't required by everyone, but it wasn't done out of necessity on how I'm using the tools, but to satisfy the business problem I'm trying to solve (automate network deployment with as few human inputs as possible over the entire lifespan of a client and infrastructure).

I wasn't critiquing the author, but networks inherently have a lot of input data. Much of this is not of concern to the end user, hence why public clouds require almost zero input on the network side.

I agree that my object model is purpose built for our product. It would not work for someone else's network.
Harvard ‘buys’ faculty, that’s how they have become a world class institution. They rarely tenure their assistant professors. Whenever some professor becomes a rock star in some a second tier school, or non-elite school, HYP/S just buys these faculty with fat salaries, chairs, generous lab funds. Definitely, this makes many prospective Ph.D students flock to HYP/S.

All the talk about affirmative action is about undergrad/law school/medical school/business schools. Not so much about m.s/ph.d admissions. Because this exclusiveness is perpetuated; otherwise, Harvard ceases being Harvard. What happens if MBB recruit many UC Davis undergraduates; what if Louisiana state university law graduates become Supreme Court justices/interns at elite govt institutions.

HYP/S, uber wealthy, and their elite servant class(media, admission committees, c-level execs) don’t want to lose their power by distributing power across many schools, states, geographical centers.

The issue is they're clearly not all from the same place, so the instruction can't really register. They were all taken within a few hundred feet of each other, but that doesn't mean they were taken from the same place. In today’s one was aerial while another was indoors — not the same place!

The instructions would be better if they read “the five photos were taken at different times, but were all taken within a few hundred feet of each other”.
As I survey the evolving landscape of the internet, a disconcerting reality emerges — the escalating nexus between internet culture and scam culture. The statistics from 2022 alone send a chill down my spine. A record-breaking $8.8 billion lost to scams in the US, marking an unfathomable increase of 30 percent from 2021, according to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC). To further underscore the gravity of this, in 2020, the losses stood at a comparatively modest $3.5 billion. This exponential escalation, over 150 percent in just two years, signals an ominous trend. Even the usually unflappable US Attorney General Merrick B. Garland described the situation as ‘overwhelming’. The tenacity and evolution of these digital criminals have clearly outpaced our defenses.

ftr, Delta Chat implements not only Autocrypt but also "Counter MITM" to protect against active attacks, see https://countermitm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
A very glaring example of this problem is sentencing guideline software that uses ML to suggest sentences to judges. Anyone familiar with the very basics of ML as a practitioner knows this is a terrible idea, very likely to reproduce any biases or bigotry in the training dataset, but the courts are increasingly treating them like blind just oracles. This is going to go very bad places imo.

The risk isn't some sort of rogue smarter than humans AI, it's humans using AI to do the same stupid evils in a deniable or even unknown way.

> that's a better way to run markets.

I'm highly skeptical that heavily restricting buying and selling of companies in general will be a better way to run a market when it seems your goal is to prevent monopolies (or put another way, ensure competition).

Laser focused policies work for a short periods but tend to be worked around quickly as the thing they regulate falls out of favor in lieu of something functionally the same but different enough it doesn't match. Blanket policies tend to stifle the market in general, causing other problems. Rather than assuming that any specific law actually "solves" the problem, we'd probably be much better off setting criteria we're trying to match and and reassessing regulations regularly to try to meet that criteria. Anything unresponsive will be routed around.

The real problem is that we have things that do that (the SEC and FTC) and they're broken. We should fix them, not swap to a sledgehammer as the only tool available.
For those of us who don’t think you are an idiot (I don’t), could you maybe give us your insights and a history lesson?

I am most intrigued, particularly regarding Oppenheimer and Einstein.

Have you looked at Falling Frontier? Not quite the same, but some of the ideas in it (like resources being physical items that actually need to be moved around from harvesting area to production facilities, rather than abstract "metals" and "credits" that can be instantly deployed anywhere) look really fascinating.

I posted last month and had a few worthwhile conversations, so posting this again!

I'm an entrepreneur & product person. I've been an exec at two successful exits (Duo, Rapid7) and started my own company (Ambassador Labs) whose story is still being written. I'm super-interested in LLMs and what issues people are running into. So I'm interested in anyone who could use a product person for a part-time consulting gig. The more interesting the consulting, the less you need to pay me! :)

Some examples of work I could do would be helping you tell your story, building a sales deck, or maybe figuring out what you could do with all the new AI stuff. Or something else. Thanks for reading.
It's also the investing/partnering side of things too though.

Some VCs and the like aren't interested if your company isn't hitting those buzzwords.
In my copy of the blue book, "Strategic Design" is Part IV, and there is no "Tactical Patterns" part or chapter. To be honest, I've only quickly read through Part IV, cherry-picking a couple of concepts, because it concentrates on techniques for dealing with very large domain models and/or very large organizations.

I think the good and bad are interleaved together throughout the book. Part I Chapter 2, "Communication and the Use of Language," is the one chapter I wish everybody I work with would read and digest. I think establishing a consistent language about the domain that is shared across functional groups is critical, so the domain terminology used in source code and comments is consistent with the terminology engineers use when talking with product and customer support. Part I Chapter 3 contains the clearest statement of (what I think is) the core error: "Tightly relating the code to an underlying model [which context makes clear is the domain model] gives the code meaning and makes the model relevant." The rest of the book is like that for me, alternating between vigorously nodding my head and yelling "WHY WOULD YOU TELL PEOPLE THAT," sometimes within the same chapter.

I suspect overall there's a communication issue with the book, where he focuses entirely on the themes of DDD and only occasionally gives lip service to other aspects of design. For example, when he says that module names and structures should reflect domain concepts, I think, "Yeah, that's really nice to the extent you can accomplish that, but you also want your module names and structures to reflect the logical structure of your program, so somebody can look at it and see how it works." You have these two aspects that should ideally both be legible in the code, but the DDD book doesn't show much respect for competing design priorities. In fact, it often warns against the dangers of being led astray by other design perspectives, such as architectural ones. Like so many other OO methodologies, the overwhelming thrust of the book is that if you attend to what it's teaching you, everything else will take care of itself.

A priest once told me, a good priest will tell you when you need a lawyer, a good lawyer will tell you when you need a therapist, a good therapist will tell you when you need a doctor, and a good doctor will tell you when you need a priest. Be careful with an expert who always tells you that their expert perspective is what you need. The DDD book is definitely that kind of expert you have to be careful with.
don't think it's just a lucky guess, same for me. Only been to the us once, looked at it for five seconds and just thought 'somewhere near Pittsburgh' and got within 50 miles. The North-East of the US in general seems very recognizable. I sometimes play Geoguessr when I'm bored and it's always places in the South of the US that seem much harder to guess.

I'm a student, and am looking for a good internship experience in the first half of 2024. I am currently a Google Summer of Code contributor at the Tor Project, and have contributed to Arti, the Rust rewrite of Tor in C, working beside the Arti devs.

I'm particularly interested in open source, computer networking and associated software.
A while back I hacked around and built a peer to peer file transfer program to learn Rust, including the file transfer protocol too (you can check it out on https://github.com/gotlougit/p2p-file-transfer or on https://git.sr.ht/~gotlou/p2p-file-transfer). I did this mostly being inspired by Tailscale and also out of frustration of how getting uncompressed photos from friends was a mess.

I love learning new things and am a fast learner. Recently I migrated to NixOS, and quickly ended up configuring a tmpfs rootfs so I could manage the state of my system better.

For more info, check out my Github at https://github.com/gotlougit
I applaud that one, too.
Correction: late 18th and early 19th century sailing ships.
For sure, I'd simply expect even a simple non-compresing bridge to strip a lot of the 'dead air' and expansion at the physical layer. Just wanted to show that even best case of simply the color value bits leaves you with ten pounds of potatoes to fit into a five pound bag.
# Parsing JSON is a Minefield

Gotcha. To be honest, this description sounds like what constexpr is in C++ as well, and various `const` things in Rust. I thought you were saying that the feature doesn't work, but it sounds more like you don't like how the feature was designed. Thank you for letting me know!
Not what I’m saying. There’s two separate ideas in that paragraph. 1) allocation strategy and 2) measuring success of an allocation strategy.

Our first-come with modest renewal + transferable + UDRP is a strategy. Complaining that someone ought not to have a certain domain based on their use is based, at least implicitly, on a measurement.
If a woman wants to take testosterone to deepen her voice and change her hair pattern, that's up to her, but she'll never be a man. Let's be realistic here.

I'm not mad about it. Have at. Certainly AI can only benefit from my deep insights and hard-earned wisdom. I can see why some people are mad, though.
When car companies start making enough money selling the data they collect they'll add all the storage needed to keep the cash flowing. If the lifespan is short they'll just force the user to get the car serviced and make them pay to replace it at the drivers expense.
I would double that if you realize how much mud you have to walk through in JavaScript's currently fashionable landscape just to play with html tags.
The backstabbing culture you have described is encouraged by FAANG-like companies.
Essentially we have a very specific network topology we are trying to build for each of our clients. The goal is to auto-generate as much of the input as possible, validate that which is given, and allow it to be lifecycled (attributes can change, but only in certain valid ways, objects created/changed/deleted, but only if they aren't referenced by other objects, etc). Due to this, a database is need to store each "object". When the network is "pushed", the database walked and a fresh set of ansible (or terraform for v2) is generated in seconds.

Iow, it is custom set of lego bricks that can only be combined in certain ways to build valid networks. It is propriety to our cloud product which has the benefit of allowing us to abstract things away that others probably couldn't, but the downside of making it entirely non-reusuable for a different use case.

Instead of a paragraph of different coding paths, offer a half dozen paths to high income that well reflect the scope of the population's capabilities (inc the half of the population with below average intellect for example).

If there is an astounding abundance of likely paths available - and they are realistic for folks working the hours it takes to survive in a 4 income economy - coming up with a handful of highly likely examples should be trivial.

Given how many people here are disagreeing except on "be consistent", I feel I'm in good company in having that as my rule. I'm not being inconsistent, I'm learning, growing and adapting. "Strong opinions, weakly held."

But yes, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." The question is, what is "foolish"? I'm arguing against things like `strpos` and `str_rot13`. I'm arguing against having similar functions where argument order is inconsistent. These are the sorts of things that slow developers down and force them to check the documentation every time just to make sure they aren't introducing bugs by default.
