On YouTube actually yes, it’s in “History”. :P
Anecdotally, I mostly purchase Philips Hue, and one has yet to fail. Yeah, they are not cheap, but I’ve some of the lamps for many years and they are still doing fine. They have certainly outlasted incandescent bulbs, and at a fraction of the electricity consumption. High quality LEDs are widely proven to be a sound investment. A EUR 2 LED bulb may not fall into the “High Quality LED” group. All of this is widely researched and peer reviewed.

The overall ecological impact of using LED bulbs is significantly improved over incandescent or fluorescent lamps.
A small inconsistency: The "i"nfo button claims it is also converting Kelvin, but those don't seem to be displayed. Kelvin is not degrees, probably the info text is wrong.

Could the compass get the magnetic heading from the browser on mobile?
I'd argue the block is more trivial to bypass as parental controls can frequently be secured in some way.

Until these blocks cannot be overcome by typing "free VPN" in to Google, they will remain toothless.
In my view, it's perfect (okay, maybe slightly less than perfect, and dedicated platforms taking ot to the next level like Netlify, CloudFlare Pages, Firebase Hosting, etc are for their added related services and tools, as well as their generous free tiers). It's pay as you go, scales from zero to infinite, and has zero attack surface or maintenance.

I've run a couple of websites (WordPress or Hugo based, including my personal blog) like that and it's great.
I used phind.com with best model for that anyway.

I'd also recommend "How Query Engines Work" for a good practical exercise in the topic: https://andygrove.io/how-query-engines-work/ . I think one should go already have a high-level overview of what individual parts make up a query engine and what there purpose is, as it only touches on that lightly.
Program speed is like traffic. Build more lanes, and you will get more traffic. People will tolerate a 30 minute drive like they will tolerate a 1 second startup time.

There is no point spending resources making it faster when users would rather something that is more reliable or has greater capabilities. As long as you keep it fast enough.
The wiki has this paragraph:

In 1996, it was adopted by W3C for Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) where it was later related at a fixed 3:4 ratio to the pixel due to a general (but wrong) assumption of 96 pixel-per-inch screens

I actually never really questioned this.

Here what has worked for us:

Talk to potential customers and use very open ended questions. Be upfront that you are doing market research about delivery app usage in restaurants. Start with something like "How is using delivery apps going for you?" The opener the question the better. Most people love to complain. So your hope is that they rant about their biggest problem. If they don't ask about other areas until they start ranting.

After you found a problem, ask follow up questions about how the problem is impacting them personally. (People don't care about their company, they care about their salary, promotions, if their boss likes them etc.) This will help you later in selling your product, when you call back the person 3 months from now with a prototype.

When you have a concrete product or prototype that you show off, the best indicator is that people ask if they can buy the product right now. If they don't or you have to ask them if they are interested it's probably not solving an important problem for them.

PS: This works for B2B. B2C is probably different.
This is very cool, have you considered adding saveable/shareable threads to drill into specific topics? Have found that useful on OAI and other LLMs
20/20 vision is a low bar though. I’m bothered by how much my vision has deteriorated since I was a teenager. The difference is obvious, as I now need to walk up to things I used to read from a distance. I’ve tested 20/20 a few weeks ago.

>> It seems like source available type licenses (e.g., Kyle Mitchell's Big Time license: https://bigtimelicense.com/ ) are a reasonable middle ground for being paid software without giving up many of the benefits of open source

> They're not reasonable at all. They deceive users and leach off of the good name of open source

I disagree. Source available licenses are reasonable, but not “a middle ground for being paid software without giving up many of the benefits of open source”.

Reading the https://bigtimelicense.com/ and https://bigtimelicense.com/versions/2.0.1, though, I don’t think that’s a source available license. It doesn’t mention source code at all.

It’s a license that allows small entities to use a binary for free, and promises larger companies to give “fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms” (I guess that’s in the license to ‘guarantee’ smaller companies they will be able to get such a license and that they will be able to afford it. IANAL, but I think the “nondiscriminatory” guarantees the former, but “fair and reasonable” doesn’t fully guarantee the latter)

“Source available” is more or less the reverse: it guarantees you can view the source, but doesn’t necessarily give you the right to modify or even compile it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software)
You might want to check how that word was spelled in the comment you're replying to :)
Good choices. Putting in a vote for Vlang, which just hit 0.4 this week.
>Not really because any acquisition is going to have a non-compete to prevent that obvious scenario.

This applies even without the non-competes - it takes time to set up a new company and gain marketshare, so even without non-competes the monopoly is successfully kicking the can down the road. And every extra year of monopoly is another years' worth of price-gouging profits, so repeatedly buying out competitors can be worthwhile.
"But, but, it's illegal". But nonetheless it was a illuminating debate.
Lunar dev here. Looks like it does support DDC brightness control: https://f.alinpanaitiu.com/nAa7gs/Image.png

I checked this on https://db.lunar.fyi using the following query:

select control, name from displays where name like '%U3224K%'

Can’t be sure about DDC input switching though, I have no way of knowing that it works without trying it in front of the monitor. DDC reports success even if the command failed to switch the input.
My experience with mastodon was the same for a while until Elon took over twitter. Now I do see discussions on stuff I care about although I am starting to see discussions regarding the threat of Meta federating with some big instances of mastodon.
Yea. For other's reference: a tractor trailer can haul something like ~40 tons and costs ~$4k to go cross country, so shipping costs from mine to fertilizer processor to farm are already going to be in the general ballpark of $100/ton.
> You're pointing out exactly why banning M&A would be good for big businesses. Now instead of having to buy out the little guy, they just wait for it close

Assuming that they close. If it continues to be successful and they can find someone else to run the business when they retire than Big Business never gets a chance to move in. If they don't, Big Business can buy their assets and try to open a new store there just like anyone else could.

Either way, everyone is happy. The owners of the store still retire, and the Big Business gets a chance to outbid everyone else who wants to move into a market that's already proven itself to be a success. That happens enough right now and it's not caused the collapse of society.

> Now the mom and pop lost a bunch of money and the big company got a new location at a big savings.

Why would Big Business acquire the store by paying Mom & Pop more money than M&P would have made letting it close and putting the assets up for sale to the highest bidder? Seems like the smart move for Big Business in that case is to wait it out anyway. If Big Business can convince Mom & Pop to let them be absorbed for less money than Big Business would have had to pay them at auction then M&P still loses money.
> I always want to ask “degrees what?”

Well, the simpler solution would have been to just use radians ;)
I feel sick everything time when I see C++ related stuff, simple & fun programming got so complicated just because some big name "committee members" who insist to spend 30 years to standardize networking/filesystem/reflection refuse to simplify their craps. yes, they haven't got that completed yet.

I guess we can wait another 30 years and there will be a C implementation of the C++ reflection or networking?
I parted ways with a team last year because I couldn't take the over complicated, jumble mess of "micro service" they were pushing. Redemption by pipeline and all that. A c-suite started gushing about ChatGPT by late 2022 and that was a red flag to me. A few months after I left they launched an "AI product". I looked into it. It was just a wrapper around OpenAI API. Lol. Glad I left.
Sorry, but I don't see how this is trolling. In the US, it's expected that sex will happen early in a relationship, before it becomes serious or long term, and would be one of the criteria for determining whether that relationship should get more committed. (Edit: Unless those involved are very Christian, in which case a different pattern plays out, but that's not the point here)

If that's not how it works in Japan, cool, but what happens then? Is sex just not as important there? Do they break up soon afterward if it's not good? Do they just suffer silently?

Different cultures have always had different approaches to sexuality and partnership, and it's interesting to learn about them. Not sure why you thought that's trolling.
If everything is going on a blockchain, it's very simple. I made this simple contract to demonstrate. [1] It can be tested with Remix. [2]

In [3], the getArticle is called which shows the article text has not yet been set. Then, in [4] I'm showing that by calling a method on the contract, the text of the article can be set by someone using the contract. In [5] I show that this previous edit changed the text of the article. In [6] I'm showing that different signers of transactions can also be displayed as an editor. And finally, in [7], I'm showing the an item in the edit history can be looked up by index.

If what is stored on the blockchain does not match what Wikipedia is showing, then Wikipedia is censoring what is supposed to be in the article. This isn't showing endorsements, but, endorsements could easily be added to this contract by creating a mapping on the contract for users that want to endorse edits at an index, etc.

This is not state everything should be on a blockchain, but just demonstrate that it is possible to create censorship resistant article edit tracking that has endorsing users.

> But 'logical circuits' are abstracted using symbolic logic and boolean algebra which are mathematical disciplines. It's still math.

Whether logic itself counts as math or something separate from it is contentious. If you do count logic as math, assume I was talking about the rest of mathematics excluding logic.

> Also, computer science doesn't necessarily mean computers as we know it today. A 'computer' in computer science is something that can process 'computable numbers'. For example, in Turing's paper, he imagine a person ( computer ) 'doing math' with a pen and paper.

Yeah, but persons are the opposite of simple and primitive.

You’re definitely correct in how credit cards work, but I’d like to make one wording change:

> Contrast debit cards and banks, where all charges on your debit card come into contact with your own personal money immediately. Banks don't have a vested interest because it's your money on the line, not their's, so they won't be nearly as enthusiastic about fighting fraud on your behalf.

The credit card issuer may be a bank and for most new credit card holders, there’s a decent chance it is their main bank (e.g. BoA and Chase in the United States have many credit card products).

Also, with debit cards, the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act does limit liability for the card holder.

So archive.is is upset Cloudflare isn't forwarding the EDNS data, even though the feature's RFC itself states:

> If we were just beginning to design this mechanism, and not documenting existing protocol, it is unlikely that we would have done things exactly this way.

--/--

> We recommend that the feature be turned off by default in all nameserver software, and that operators only enable it explicitly in those circumstances where it provides a clear benefit for their clients. We also encourage the deployment of means to allow users to make use of the opt-out provided. Finally, we recommend that others avoid techniques that may introduce additional metadata in future work, as it may damage user trust.

Seems archive.is is in the wrong here, which is a little surprising. Don't meet your heroes I guess. But then I also can't see their rebuttal because Twitter is currently a dumpster fire.
To be honest, it was very hard for most people to understand the concept. They should just have made it public and let people discover it.
I can sell a CD with software. Why am I not allowed to sell a car with additional software without that software being removed?
Interesting that they've gone for another app instead of adding to the existing app. Although I'm sure there will be plenty of integration, this won't alienate existing Instagram users like adding short form video did.
That assumes the specified allocator actually controls all allocations - somewhat doubtful across all platforms as things like dl_iterate_phdr() IIRC allocate memory (and take locks). And there's a lot more to writing signal safe code than not calling malloc. Unless an interface documents to be signal safe you're take better of assuming it is not.

FWIW I've run into malloc self dreadlocks due to rare signals plenty of time :(. In production workloads.
Beginner programmers are also often uncomfortable with the sheer amount of typing required to do anything. They might try to use copy and paste as a shortcut. So practicing just the typing, rather than both thinking and typing at the same time and feeling like the slow typing is limiting your thinking, is probably a good idea for that reason too.
The costs quoted in the article are not at all in line with the costs that the facility quotes:

https://www.vivium.nl/zorgeloos-wonen-concept

More about this particular facility:

https://www.vivium.nl/verpleeghuis-dementie-hogewey-de-hogew...

Also, pretty sloppy to quote the name wrong in the article, it's not 'Hogeway' but 'Hogewey', the difference in dutch is between 'road' and 'meadow' (the latter in a weird spelling). On the facility website they also use 'weyk' which has yet another connotation (borough).

I've seen and am seeing some family members and close friends at very advanced age go through this. They are utterly unaware that they are dementing, to them everything is fine and their memories of the things that go wrong fade so fast that you can't really have a meaningful conversation on the subject. Some 80+ year olds are sharp as can be, but they are the exception around me, the default is a body that is still there coupled with a mind that is slowly leaving, too slow for the mind itself to notice.

Good genes may help keep your body alive but without a mind to go with it I'm not sure whether that's worth it. Personally I live in fear of ending up like that, depending on others for even the most basic needs.
That is a really interesting response and I hadn't considered any of it. TIL.

Relating to this:

> so what's going on here is that local mining companies are fishing for government subsidies with rhetoric about sovereignty based on a completely imaginary phosphate shortage crisis

Is this kind of the same as the occasional panics about rare earths? My understanding is that they're not really that rare but the environmental impacts and costs of extraction are both high enough that in essence, nobody wants to bother for so long as it remains someone else's problem and the materials remain available.

> Note a year ago they settled a lawsuit about throttling CPUs with updates on older iphones for the same purpose.

Why do people spread this sort of stuff? Apple have never settled anything related to a “play” to intentionally shorten the lifetime of a phone.

Batterygate extended the life of individual handsets with degraded batteries that were out of warranty. These handsets were rebooting due to the battery until Apple brought out an update that throttled them after the next brownout, and replacing the battery brought the handset back to full speed. Why go to all that trouble if you wanted to sell another phone?
I find the best review system for books/media is the amount of effort fans put into their wiki or tvtropes entries.
yeah, lightly processed minerals are super cheap; dap sold as fertilizer is full of other crap because phosphate just fucking loves every polyvalent metal ion it ever laid its little orbitals on. fortunately because all that crap is insoluble it's pretty easy to filter out of an aqueous solution

a list of materials that cost less than US$600/tonne, aka 60¢/kg, near me at retail in the last few years:

- steel scrap (30¢)

- aluminum scrap (58¢) (this is what recyclers pay the cartoneros)

fine minerals for cosmetics, pottery, or foundry work:

- bentonite (28¢)

- mesh-80 calcite (45¢)

- mesh-200 calcite (20¢)

- dirty beach sand (6.2¢)

- tierra de Junín for aluminum casting (20¢)

- red clay (30¢)

- ball clay (30¢)

- 200-mesh quartz flour (30¢)

- pure quartz sand (35¢)

- 200-mesh talc (40¢)

- baryta (46¢)

- magnetite (10¢)

- infusorial earth (40¢)

- calcined metakaolin (35¢)

construction binders:

- plaster of paris (30¢)

- slaked lime (11¢)

- portland cement (26¢)

aggregates for construction:

- clean construction sand (2¢)

- pumice (42¢)

- broken-rock aggregate for concrete (8¢)

- ungraded gravel for concrete (0.8¢)

- 6–20 mm gravel for concrete (1¢)

- quartz gravel aggregate for concrete (15¢)

landscaping materials:

- pure white marble pebbles (12¢)

- quartz gravel for landscaping (2.1¢ in minimum quantity 6 tonnes)

- ornamental 1-4 cm landscaping rocks (8¢)

- round 1–3 cm river rocks (9¢)

miscellaneous:

- gravel for fishtanks (19¢)

- water (0.06¢)

materials this cheap vary a lot in price depending on location, because most of the cost is shipping. diammonium phosphate around here is about US$1/kg

i hope this helps
Are those things considered way more important than sexual compatibility then? What happens if they eventually have sex and one partner is severely disappointed, but they've already invested so much into the relationship?

Having owned Dell's 5K for years, last year I finally upgraded to their 8K model. I could never go back to anything less. If you need it and can justify the cost, you will know; but I don't see either being justifiably true for very many people at this point. While higher refresh would be nice, 60Hz is more than adequate for me, as it's the screen real estate that matters, and you really don't have many options to choose from.

I cared for my Mum with dementia for 10 years. The episodes of the early stages I only recognized in hindsight. Stressful or unfamiliar situations were remembered differently to how I saw them at the time. Towards the end she argued about which medication to take, etc. But was docile at the doctor's surgery. My Mum also developed macular degeneration and couldn't read and watched very large screen TV up close.

I concur with @Smeevy, especially about not arguing / correcting.

All I can add is to grow a thick skin, because you will be attacked over hallucinated events and to accept that the condition does go through swings. There are times when they seem almost like old times and then without warning out comes something totally hallucinatory.

> You're also better off with a newer consumer-level processor,

Strong disagree on this one. You can't even put 64GB of DDR5 into the latest consumer-level processors without causing bandwidth to halve down to DDR4 speeds (because of the two channel memory controller), and there's some talk of system instability even at the slow speeds. And you can't get more than 16 cores in the consumer-level CPU, vs. the 128 cores in the server machine I linked.
