Not him but I use typescript with webpack. Webpack has webpack serve, which runs a simple HTTP server that shows an index.html for testing your script. It adds some file watchers on your source so if you make any changes it automatically compiles. Webpack will build the .map files so you can run breakpoints in your browser on the original source, but if you develop with vscode, you can create a launch profile which allows you to attach your vscode debugger to the browser and put your breakpoints in VSCode instead of the browser (which I prefer the UI for). This works with react as well

> Almost no one considers the effects decades down the line: complete replacement. ... Your comment is one of the first I've seen that actually talks about a longer-term effect of AI

I don't know where you've been this past year, but hand-wringing about AI replacing humans in the long term has been everywhere. It's gotten less common in recent months as the limitations of the models become apparent, but it's still prevalent.
What are these suspicious Google GVT1.com URLs?
I feel like everyone this far is missing something, or perhaps just I am.

I understand that a wavy wall will be stronger than a straight wall of the same thickness, therefore if you need that additional strength it technically uses fewer bricks to reach it.

That said, if the alternative is a 2 layer straight wall, is the wavy wall equally as strong? Or is it just stronger than the single layer wall?

Without knowing anything about the subject matter, I’d assume that the strength goes in order of single-layer straight, wavy, double-layer straight. No? Seems like needing just the amount of strength the wavy wall provides, and no more, would be a fairly rare use case. Leading to double-layer straights most of the time anyway.

Show HN: Fplyr – Adult Entertainment Tool for playing moaning sounds and music
Fplyr is a background audio sample and music player specialized in playing moaning sounds and relaxing music for adult entertainment purpose.

With fplyr you can define audio samples like lustful moans and (if you like) rubber clothing squeeching which are extracted from your video files and played back in a defined random fashion on multiple audio tracks.

Of course you can define totally different sound setting. It depends on which video files you have in your collection and which one of these you wanna hear.

What are your favorite sounds you would like to mix in?

Imagine a posterboard, one of those 3 section things you can by at a supermarket kids use in science fairs. What happens if you attempt to stand that posterboard up with the sections in a strait line? Now take the outer two sections and place them at an angle to the central board. One will fall over by itself. The other will stand upright and even take a non-trivial amount of downward pressure (weight) before it falls over.

It works the same way with any thin and tall building, it needs to have support perpendicular to the main body. You'll note that most straight brick walls have thicker "towers" at regular intervals. Or it needs underground support, like concrete in the ground for a fence post.

Unrelated: Go buy a lego set! If you've forgotten the joy of LEGOs I encourage you to rediscover it. The kinds of sets they have available these days are vast and the cleverness of their building techniques needs to be seen to be appreciated.

I also work in the industry and tend to agree. Right now if you get an official replacement ECU on a secured CAN network the device comes from the OEM already set up with the matching SecOC (AES-128) key that the OEM recorded in their backend database at time of manufacturing.

But how would this work with a 3rd party ECU?
Of course, I believe the climate crisis is the most important problem in the world. However I don't think former colonial powers have any right to say or rather lecture former colonised countries on their obligations, when the colonial powers haven't properly addressed why the colonised countries are in the state they are in. It is also not just at the feet of former colonial powers, the US wasn't a coloniser but did have a tremendous imperial influence throughout the Third World that has stymied progress and thrown Third World countries into a debt trap that they cannot escape (unfortunately China is doing the same these days). This needs to be addressed too.

And until these issues are addressed, the Third World countries who rely so heavily on coal power cannot get off their reliance on it. It will need a global effort led and on the financial burden of the First World, to support the economies of the countries that are using coal to progress. I believe that is the only way we will turn this issue around, otherwise we are just putting a plaster on a stab wound.

Let's not forget Africa and India's growth over the next century is going to eclipse anything we've ever seen before, and without the correct structures in place we will have no chance of combatting this issue.

Normal people should drill certain non-normal events (for example, all drivers should know how to deaccelerate and get off the road quickly).

But you should NEVER design a system that requires normal people to drill non-normal events; even planes have been redesigned to "fix" problems where the pilot had to do something unintuitive or unexpected, because eventually it WILL catch up to you.
The extra space doesn't have to be fully wasted. You could plant bushes or small trees in the concave sections.
Yes. That's the thing about Tarsnap, a service with a TikZ diagram on its front page, built around a Unix utility, that meters in picodollars. It's meant to bilk money from uninformed mom-and-pop backup users.
I think it's also an opportunity for each of us to appreciate the frailness of the human condition. In particular, how plastic our minds our, how susceptible to "narrative" and social pressure (particularly when connected to income) we are. I imagine those employees are pretty normal people, and they were just responding to incentives. They didn't feel they were harming anyone, and in fact were doing a good job according to their bosses. They work at a famous, respected company and surely if the bosses were wrong that would not be the case, right?

This is the utility of the cynic, the questioner, the doubter, the non-conformist. It is an uncomfortable position, at all times, but you need people among you who constantly fear being inadvertently, mindlessly immoral. Because it's a constant threat and more of a threat, I daresay, than overt evil.

It's relative. You might be "tight on money for building a wall" so you save money by building a wavy wall.
Corrugated cardboard just is a wavy wall, sandwiched in between two straight walls.

> I think you have it backwards, progress should lead us to a world where you don't really need to work.

If you haven't read, Bertrand Russell in his "In Praise of Idleness" essay talks exactly about that, how technological progress should bring more idle time to workers. It's from the 1920s...

Instead we are under a system where almost all the extra productivity is siphoned away from the ones actually producing something, left with some breadcrumbs while those siphoning the product of labour keep constantly asking for more productivity from their workers for personal gain.

Historically any change to this system has only been achieved through bloodshed, which is very, very unfortunate...

It's not about security by obscurity. A better analogy would be the fight over "tivoization". In safety-critical and highly-regulated systems like automotive and health care, there's a meaningful regulatory interest in ensuring that the devices as sold and authorized to be on the road (or in patients' hospital rooms) don't get modified in dangerous ways. That means that the software and firmware running on each of the dozens of ECUs in a vehicle is part of the (regulated) functional safety spec of the system. There are real, meaningful technical challenges to overcome if you want to meet both the goal of ensuring that dangerous and malicious software can't run in safety-critical domains, and the goal of allowing users to modify their vehicles as they see fit.

I'm speaking as one of the authors of the Uptane standard for secure software updates in vehicles, and as a life-long proponent of user freedom and open access to the computers we buy. There are possible solutions here, but they are not easy.

I see 18 wheelers do illegal maneuvers all the time, but as a society we understand that they have no better option most of the time.

There are things we can characterize to any desired degree of accuracy but that e don't get cute little equations out of... and some of those things are so simple they've been staring you in the face since middle school and you just didn't ever notice their absence from your formula sheets.

This is not the exact same situation being described but it's a similar thing. Being able to put a complex system into a computer and arbitrarily manipulate it still doesn't mean we can extract some simple explanation.

On the other end of the scale, see all the AIs coming out. They're 100% computer artifacts with theoretically no mystery in them whatsoever... but they're just tables of billions of opaque numbers and doing anything with the numbers beyond just running them is amazingly difficult.
As much as I hate it, the real way to achieve the level of compliance you describe is through surveillance, akin to what China does or what Black Mirror depicts.

Chesterton's Fence

--------------------

“In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."

This paradox rests on the most elementary common sense. The gate or fence did not grow there. It was not set up by somnambulists who built it in their sleep. It is highly improbable that it was put there by escaped lunatics who were for some reason loose in the street. Some person had some reason for thinking it would be a good thing for somebody. And until we know what the reason was, we really cannot judge whether the reason was reasonable. It is extremely probable that we have overlooked some whole aspect of the question, if something set up by human beings like ourselves seems to be entirely meaningless and mysterious. There are reformers who get over this difficulty by assuming that all their fathers were fools; but if that be so, we can only say that folly appears to be a hereditary disease. But the truth is that nobody has any business to destroy a social institution until he has really seen it as an historical institution. If he knows how it arose, and what purposes it was supposed to serve, he may really be able to say that they were bad purposes, that they have since become bad purposes, or that they are purposes which are no longer served. But if he simply stares at the thing as a senseless monstrosity that has somehow sprung up in his path, it is he and not the traditionalist who is suffering from an illusion.”

If you own a large amount of land than the savings add up. Especially if you live 250 years ago (or you want to match the walls from then) when bricks were not produced and delivered in massive industrial processes and large estates were more common.
Given how much OCD I have about naming variables and writing unit tests, I think if this was in front of my house, I'd take a sledgehammer to it. Fences shall be straight, damnit.
Landfills should be demonized because very few of them live up to their hype (at least in the US where we may not make the appropriate infrastructure investments).

Every landfill near me, most created in the last 30 years has had a significant liner breach, which then damages the containment structure, which then pollutes the aquifer.
I know. but what’s atypical is the tame-ness, the lack of energy and lack of community participation and shared experience in new music, and its sharp decline of perceived cultural value by the younger generation. I think the changing valuation and changing qualities are not wholly unrelated.
I understand the regulatory / Slack perspective on it, put I have my troubles from a architecture perspective. The amount of interface you would need to decouple Sharepoint from Teams is huge. People/Groups, Documents, Snippets, Full-Size Integrations, etc ... this is basically M365 cloud offering. No idea how slack ever wants to compete or integrate M365. Everyone who once opened Teams on Windows 11 see what a joke that is.

And not having it, is a huge step backwards. So I do not know how unbundling might realistically work.

That X logo would look a lot better if they took out the colors and circles from the rest of the design. Like if it looked like a cross between “plan 9 from bell labs” and “optimized for e-ink readers”.

The blue check with the circle doesn’t belong to the universe, it has to become a black check with a square, or I guess a white check if it is going to be dark mode. (Is that dark mode an attempt to rip off Mastodon?)

The linked post does not explain why the walls are more resistant to forces. It just calculates the difference in length.
I think you're wrong. The vast majority of "trips" are well below current ranges afforded by today's technology. Most electric car users are plugging in when they get home and never have to charge elsewhere.

Furthermore battery technology is actually improving and the trajectory seems to indicate that there will be cars that will be able to hit the 1000km range within the next 5 years for those who would need it.
>Plus it’s not like you are not actually paying for Teams in your subscription. Actually you are even if you don’t use it which is silly.

Well I'm also paying for Spotify subscription but I never listen to Justin Biber yet he's still on the platform I'm paying for anyway, but that's just how bundles work.

Would be nice as a consumer to cherry pick lower priced plans specifically on the exact pieces of SW or products we want out of the larger pool/catalogue, but then I doubt many SaaS would be in business if every customer would just choose only the specific pieces that they need and not get everything as a bundle.

Or maybe it would work from a business PoV, I dunno, but maybe then in a nefarious way.
In a closed system, the lowest point typically leads to a water treatment plant.
