That's right, but factories have other problems too: especially EMI due to huge loads being switched, which twisted pairs, shielded twisted pair and ethernet termination magnetics are designed to resist. Also, industrial cable routing can get pretty hairy, this means the ability to round a corner at a relatively tight radius can be important. Using standard ethernet cables for low current DC power keeps these concerns generally within acceptable realms of normality.
> but rather that ugly architecture is ugly

I think it’s also worth nothing that things that are new are often hailed as ugly. A number of pieces of what we’d identify today as beloved classic architecture were called outrageously offensive to good taste when they were first constructed. For example, from a letter signed by 300 artists and architects published by Le Temps on 14 February 1887:

> We, writers, painters, sculptors, architects and passionate devotees of the hitherto untouched beauty of Paris, protest with all our strength, with all our indignation in the name of slighted French taste, against the erection ... of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower ... To bring our arguments home, imagine for a moment a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack, crushing under its barbaric bulk Notre Dame, the Tour Saint-Jacques, the Louvre, the Dome of les Invalides, the Arc de Triomphe, all of our humiliated monuments will disappear in this ghastly dream. And for twenty years ... we shall see stretching like a blot of ink the hateful shadow of the hateful column of bolted sheet metal.

If even “great” modern architecture is met with scorn, middling modern architecture is sure to attract so much more hate!
A perfect example of his point.
It's a truly ugly definition of racism for someone, like me, that grew up with the idea that everyone has, and should have, equal dignity. I know that this is the correct and accepted definition in some circles, but I want you to reflect on what you wrote: is that definition of racism logical?

The issue actually turned out to be three.js itself in that case, so the poster himself was at fault. The way it writes out materials and texture coordinates was wrong because it doesn’t use the USD API.

Different apps had different tolerances for correctness leading to that mishmash.

That’s not to say USD support can’t be improved, but that post is actually a bad example.
I have 13-15 devices running over PoE at my house and all of them work just fine. Everything from the high end Ubiquiti gear to raspberry 3/4 PoE hats. It’s powered by a Unifi 24 port PoE switch.

The only time I had issues was with a 2 mesh APs and sketchy power at a condo that has minor power outages due to thunderstorms. I brought the devices back home and they work fine, the new device doesn’t have an issue. I was curious if a UPS would’ve smoothed the power blips but the new AP restarts and connects just fine.

China may be making plans if wars come their way. They'd be stupidly negligent not to do so. But they will be avoiding war for at least another decade unless forced into one. That will be foolishly and mistakenly construed as weakness by the West.

But in fact, China is steadily progressing on its way. It's an arithmetical certainty that in a few years, China will take over the 'Number One ' slot. Why would China have a war with anybody? That would only slow them down. And sooner or later, Taiwan will see which way will be more advantageous for them and will merge with China peacefully. (As with West and East Germany in the 1990s).

On the other hand, It's the US that can only slow the Chinese down by going to war to prevent the US losing the 'Number One' slot. How can it be 'exceptional' if it's not 'Number One'? And to initiate a war with China, there has to be some sort of casus-belli. Taiwan currently is a reasonably good candidate for this, as was done with Ukraine from about 2014 on.

The problem the US has with China is that China has more manufacturing capacity and more men of military-age than the whole of the West combined. To ensure victory in a war with China, the US needed to have started the conflict back around 2020 when the US was stronger and China was weaker. The US has missed that bus. It is too late. It can not win against China now.

glTF is not a very optimal runtime format, and IIRC it even started out originally with the statement that it was 'purely for interchanging models between programs' and that engines would/should still use their own format (hence the Transfer Format in the glTF name.)

Even GLB, the binary glTF format, is very sub-optimal for runtime. It even has chunks of JSON embedded in it.
What does that even mean in this context?
The semiconductor industry is also very happy to do hard things for marginal gains. They've spent a decade swapping out semiconductor junction materials at enormous expense because there's no other option.

The idea that reducing power consumption is also not large enough to matter is...yeah, detached from reality. Thermal density has been an enormous problem with increasing CPU feature densities. CPUs already run hotter then a kitchen hot-plate, which is why so much effort has been put into dynamic throttling and other tricks - you straight up can't run CPU circuit elements full-power for very long without the risk of frying them, or requiring a cooling system which is impractical for widespread deployment.

Definitely agreed! I think there's a difference between "living" and "visiting" when it comes to enjoying city architectures. Unified style gets very boring very fast if you live in the neighbourhood.

Seeing different architecture styles of different periods of time somehow creating a cohesion is a wonderful experience, but I think it only works if the city is big enough (I have a blast in Tokyo just for that reason!). Toronto is trying out quite a lot of "save facade, build a glass house on top of it", which I'm kind of enjoying when I visit the city. Wondering how it'll look 5-6 years later.

> REST is about describing services that you can interact with with no prior knowledge. REST is about completely decoupling the client and server (in terms of prior knowledge) beyond standardized media types (HTML, CSS, JS)

The idea that REST is confined to standard media types like HTML and CSS is wrong. It is sufficient that media types are known to specific clients and server, but that does not have to include web browsers or arbitrary clients.

Quote [1]:

REST provides a hybrid of all three options by focusing on a shared understanding of data types with metadata, but limiting the scope of what is revealed to a standardized interface. REST components communicate by transferring a representation of a resource in a format matching one of an evolving set of standard data types, selected dynamically based on the capabilities or desires of the recipient and the nature of the resource. Whether the representation is in the same format as the raw source, or is derived from the source, remains hidden behind the interface. The benefits of the mobile object style are approximated by sending a representation that consists of instructions in the standard data format of an encapsulated rendering engine (e.g., Java [45]).

This novel, and the prequel A Deepness in the Sky, depict a human interstellar civilization thousands of years in the future, in which superluminal travel is impossible (for the humans), so travelers use hibernation to pass the decades while their ships travel between systems. Merchants, including the ones the book portrays, often revisit systems after a century or two, so see great changes in each visit.

<spoiler>The merchants repeatedly find that once smart dust (tiny swarms of nanomachines) are developed, governments inevitably use them for ubiquitous surveillance, which inevitably causes societal collapse.<https://blog.regehr.org/archives/255></spoiler>

> CPU heat output is limited by the resistance of the semiconductors.

This is not true anymore. At leading edge process nodes (i.e., smaller conductor pitch), the bulk resistivity of copper changes dramatically because it is increasingly dominated by ballistic electron scattering on the interfaces and grain boundaries: surface area has decreased as a fraction of volume and the average grain size has shrunk to fit inside the interconnect lines.

Alternative metals like Cobalt and Ruthenium have been proposed and to some extent used in production as an alternative to Cu for the low interconnect layers, but they just arrest the trend -- the fact is that the interconnect resistance is much higher than it used to be.

It's also why a lot of the big players like TSMC and Intel are investing heavily in backside power delivery.

Here is an accessible article on the topic:

https://www.fabricatedknowledge.com/p/backside-power-deliver...

(Also: high-voltage DC power is commonly used for long-range transmission and does not have coupling issues)
Emacs nuts (I used to be one) can also combine Emacs with a no-decorations tiling window manager (e.g., Xmonad, which I currently use, or i3wm).

That lets them do all their "Emacs is my operating system" stuff, but still gracefully degrade to non-Emacs windows when necessary.

BTW, one time I was doing that, I used a minibuffer frame, shared among multiple frames, and wrote a tweak to help: https://www.neilvandyke.org/perkymbf/
I'm confused about the comment referring to a WebCam? What does that have to do with 2FA?

FYI you can create a virtual WebAuthn device in Chrome DevTools and use that as a 2FA method (just don't lose it lol). I did this with Google where it was required to provide a phone number or hardware token in order to unlock the ability to switch to a simple TOTP method. I created the WebAuthn device, generated a TOTP, set TOTP as the default method, and then removed the WebAuthn device.

I'm not sure this applies to the GitHub situation (I am having trouble understanding the linked forum post), but it's a useful tip regardless.

Doing the work to switch off may well be a worse idea than starting on it in the first place.

There are many, many companies for which this decision won't matter too much.
Solution to this is to use a masked email or at the very least add a `+` tag so you can block it easily or know who's the source of the junk mail.

Fastmail offers this feature, and I think 1password might.
The `+` tag should be possible with any provider, `me+hn@example.com`

Of course now you have to have a way to keep track of what email you gave to what company. I usually do `firstname_company/website@` to make it easier to remember.

That's only on iOS. Chrome and Firefox on macOS use their own rendering engines, just like on other desktop operating systems.
How likely do you find to be an acceptable level of likelihood?

For me it's zero, or at least very, very close to it. We're never going to get to zero by complaining that cars are too heavy. It's an ideological dead end. I mean, hell, a tesla, not commonly seen as a large car, weighs over 2 tons. Chassis alone is close to 2 tons by itself. How are you going to make that not kill someone on a bike? Or take, say, the world's lightest production car, the absolutely tiny Caterham Seven 170, which weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000lbs. You and an absurdly heavy bike, a real value brand steel frame special, is like a quarter of that, and, it's not really feasible to say that everyone should drive a small, two seat open cockpit, open wheel roadster.

F=MA is unavoidable, you should stop pretending it is, you'll live longer. Then write your local government, or better, show up to the public forums they hold, and lobby for bike paths. Partner with bike shops, get in with the mom groups, have them make donations to pro-bike path politicians. That's how the world works now.

It should be that all devices have isolation. Ethernet is capacitively coupled which keeps you from having to coordinate your power/ground between devices. PoE is the recognition that if the DC levels don't matter because of that required isolation, we might as well not isolate in a power stage before the magnetics and deliver some DC power.

That's not really a viable solution for the average, not-so-tech-savvy folk, though.

Edit: Hit me with the downvotes, I don't mind, but I also enjoy hearing about why my perspective might be wrong. From where I sit, I can imagine that plenty of people annoyed by these kinds of email harvesting patterns also don't know enough to employ the kind of method described here. I feel like that's a solution, but not one that can be prescribed to the average joe.

The EUCJ's decision regarding Meta's personal data collection and processing actually carries a very important piece of jurisprudence for all sites that need to comply with GDPR and use the "contract" justification:

"[...]the need for the performance of the contract to which the data subject is party may justify
the practice at issue only on condition that the data processing is objectively indispensable such that the main
subject matter of the contract cannot be achieved if the processing in question does not occur."

IMO, 2 things:

1. They had internalized the Innovator’s Dilemma so much that everything was existential.

2. The browser was viewed as middleware that made the operating system irrelevant. They viewed lack of compatibility as an operational moat. To some extent this is/was true.

So, entirely defensive to protect Windows and Office.
It's considered a bit of a joke by many architects for being stylistically backwards.

The current hypothesis is that most likely whatever they made is not a pure sample of the material which actually superconducts - this is expected, since when you make YBCO superconductors you also tend to get low yields (i.e. ~20%) that actually superconduct.

So it could be the whole sample, or it could one micron-sized link of grains of whatever the "real" material is running through the sample.
Isn't it trivial for websites to strip out the +? I feel like between this, and the various sites that don't support + in email addresses for whatever reason, this trick isn't worth doing.
Thank you. It's great advice, which I keep coming back to. I struggle with it though, because I end up wanting to perfect something (especially if I can think of an improvement already, why not put it in, and then I'm down the rabbit hole of editing).
Then you are justified to put them on the spam filter.
It’s literally the opposite of that. It was embracing fabrication over craft creation. It was prioritizing local placement and the uses of the structure over the sentiments of the architect.

It’s possible that _you_ don’t like the resulting aesthetic but that’s not some broader statement about modern architecture, it’s literally your personal preference.
I really don’t see the appeal outside of a small selection of more interesting areas. It’s got a surprising amount of above ground cables if you’re interested in infrastructure and quite a few trees. But in general most of the city comes off as a forgivable random jumble of mid rise buildings IMO.

No reason to look at publicly photos when street view shows what the city actually looks like.
I believe it is a Meat Beat Manifesto track, though I'm not sure which one.
Yes I suspect so. Deliberately ugly buildings are intended to demoralize people. Beautiful buildings don't require great aristocratic wealth to build and maintain, and in fact the cost of ugly modern architecture is often far greater than conventional construction due to material and design problems caused by the architect's 'novelty'. When large amounts of money and effort are put into designing something that turns out to be extremely ugly, it's fair to conclude that it was intended to be ugly.
