...and then you click on that GitHub link and it explains that they fetch the Chromium codebase and then apply a set of patches on top of it. I wouldn't diminish that work by refering to it as just a reskin, but it's also not what I have in mind when I hear about something being forked.

They don't maintain a separate Chromium codebase, nor do they refer to it as a fork anywhere on GitHub. They do refer to it as a customised Chromium, which I think is a far more accurate description:

> Brave Core is a set of changes, APIs, and scripts used for customizing Chromium to make the Brave browser.

I also think of Chrome as a customised Chromium, not a fork of Chromium.

I’ve talked to a lawyer who does govt clearances, and the reality is that clearances are rarely denied for past use of marijuana. Especially if a year or two has passed since last use. Lying during the investigation about your drug use is what will get you denied. Unless the bill allows people use marijuana while holding a clearance, this changes almost nothing IMO.
Seems to mostly be a Facebook phenomenon:

Yeah, I'm with other commenters.. it's about what you're paying them (and other perks).

Pay people at all levels a minimum of $5000 for each week away at sea, then they might do 4 months of work (which includes free board but is essentially a 24hr job) and 8 months of other things they enjoy while still living a near middle-class life.

Still having a hard time finding people? Give them more comfortable beds. Get an on-board chef. Ensure they have starlink access when they're not on active duty. Give them appropriate bonuses, dental, medical, RRSP matching

I'd be very surprised if you don't find a number of people eager to do this if their compensation is good enough.

Sure, if 80% of your workforce is only on deck 3-4 months out of the year then of course you have to hire more people too, but you'll find those people. You'll be flooded with people who want to do this. Maybe my calculus is off? Maybe you need to pay $6000/week? $10000/week? I guarantee you there is a salary incentive where people won't refuse. People will leave software engineering jobs to go work on a boat 3 months out of a year (I would at around $7000/week). Doctors will quit, etc.

When people say better pay won't solve the "shortage", I wonder how they so deeply misunderstood free market economics.

"most young candidates" don't want to be slaving away at a factory for most of their life either. They want to be able to buy a house. Maybe even 4 months of rent relief will massively change their lives. Maybe they want to buy a house one day or be able to responsibly have a kid.

Can you make the same argument for children?

Children don't know the world yet, cannot contain their urges, and can get their brain chemistry permanently altered after trying heroin.

They asked for the neighborhood not the address because that’s how pricing is determined. When you’re a taxi driver… you learn the neighborhoods. Especially one of the most well known neighborhoods on manhattan.

>a friend of mine has brought some edibles to his doctor and tested positive for small amounts of trace metals. This is from a legitimate dispensary but I imagine they are not really put thru their proper traces when testing for quality control. Its prolly fine once in a blue moon but if you are consuming edibles regularly, it can stack and create worse problems then smoking it.

Why do you think that smoking the "trace metals" (I assume you mean heavy metals--and if you are curious why there would be heavy metals like lead and mercury in marijuana, it is because the seller's income is directly proportional to the weight of the product, and adding heavy metals adds weight) is healthier than eating it?

Stainless still is only hard to clean if you suck at doing dishes. After you cook something, let them soak (really just let them sit with water and dish soap in them) for like an hour and you can almost just rinse them out. Even dishwashers with modern soaps have little problem with them once you soak them.

I had a Hyundai vehicle 5-6 years ago with a problem where the power steering would just outright _stop_ - didn't matter if you were driving residential, parked, driving on a highway, it would just randomly _stop_.

It's very scary when you're on the highway and you feel the wheel suddenly stiffen up.

Took the car into the dealership 2 weeks later, one firmware update and sensor swap later and didn't have any problems until I sold it recently.

In Tesla's case, I'd hope it's purely a software issue - makes it easier to update remotely for those that are willing to put up with remotely connected cars.

If it's a mechanical issue, that'll be a big ordeal - lack of dealerships would make this difficult to have recalls done efficiently.

Always gotta be careful about what we record as not being possible though. Just because some research claims something isn't possible doesn't always guarantee the claim is accurate. If some factors are mistakenly overlooked, it's entirely possible that something which is actually doable becomes regarded as impossible.

Ride with GPS | Experienced Linux Systems Engineer | Within 2 hours of Portland OR | Full Time | https://ridewithgps.com/about

We are the world's largest library of bike routes, and we enable cyclists to go on better rides, more often. We have a website and mobile apps that allow people to discover the best riding in their area, and get turn by turn navigation using either our mobile apps or the bike computer of their choosing. Come join us in taking Ride with GPS to the next level! We have one opening right now:

- Linux Systems Engineer: https://ridewithgps.com/careers/systems_engineer - Work the full deployment stack, from hardware to containers. We are looking for an experienced engineer practiced in the deployment of Linux based machines and services on top of them. We run on a rack of machines that we own, co-located in the Pittock, and we deploy services both directly on Linux as well as via containers. This is part SRE, part DevOps, part classic SysAdmin, with the occasional networking issue. We need someone who is within driving distance of our rack in Portland and who has experience working in a datacenter, but the majority of the job is in the deployment of services on those machines, not the machines themselves. Are you a jack of all trades, comfortable occasionally working with hardware, while being highly proficient in Linux and container based deployments? Maybe you are light on modern container orchestration but are highly capable and interested in learning? We'd love to talk to you!

Send resume + cover letter to careers@ridewithgps.com with an optional brief paragraph about your relationship to cycling or the outdoors. Riding bikes is absolutely not required, but we do find it helps!
This is needlessly pedantic. Technically, yes, the United States hasn't "Declared War" in the style of a president standing before congress making a speech. Instead, the country has been engaged in "police actions" authorized by congress, which (at least to me) is a distinction without much of a difference.

> No draft is required.

The draft was re-instituted during Vietnam, so the presence of selective service isn't an indicator for being "in a war". To this day every adult male of draftable age is only an itchy trigger finger away from being called up

> No war shortages exist.

the powers-that-be have been placing a good amount of blame for "supply chain issues" on the war in Ukraine. "Supply chain issues" being newspeak for "shortages".
Works for me. You probably need to unmute the phone.
> The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labour before the nation's manhood can be conscripted..

We do conscript capital to fund military spending, through taxation. It’s levied across the whole society according to ability to pay. There are always arguments about who should pay what, but thats what democratic politics is there to mediate.

Of course there is an argument that since individuals face conscription into the military, so why not conscript industry? But of course the US government had already laid down the legal basis for this by 1935 when this book was published. In fact they did so during WW2 in the form of commandeering, the power to compel any producer in the country to accept war orders, along with the imposition of price controls.
No, because HTML is semantic (rendering is open to interpretation) whereas USD is explicit.

But in terms of "common format which different systems can read", then yes, sure.
> I'm sure there's a lot of popular digital artists who'd like for people to be able distinguish their art from generated stuff that imitates their personal style.

Sure, and this sort of approach makes sense for them. I'm thinking of everyone else. Not artists, but ordinary people doing ordinary things.

> what matters is what solves the problem.

True, and fair enough. But I don't think putting this burden on humans would actually solve this problem, because not enough humans can or will do this.

It really depends what you design your system to handle. A sudden burst of traffic that can be spread for minutes is fine (ex: Elasticsearch indexing requests can usually be delayed through background jobs).

> Basically those things only sort of work if you have few messages and are happy with millisecond latency.

Not really... queues are great to defer processing or have longer running job than your HTTP and TCP timeouts will allow. Building large data export won't happen within a single HTTP request.

This is a beautiful example of history repeating itself.

In the 1960's Japanese cars started to replace the overpriced, low reliability US "Big-3" automakers. Now, after dacades in theUS, the Japanese makers are also slaves to the LUXURY product. They can't imaging selling a vehicle for less than $50K.

In China, an EV "city car" can be bought for < $10K, fully equiped EVs are < $30K.

The US is rpie for these lower cost, higher reliability vehicles, but it seems this time it won't be Japan thats inovating.

After decades of using the cheap Chinese labor force now US industrialists are afraid of the monster they've created, thus the cold war...
Yes, it would be upending just about everything because the race would be on to improve on that. Think of it this way: once you show that something is possible at all there will be substantial funding available to improve on it. As long as you can't show that it is possible at all you're on your own. So if it works and that 150 mA is the limit then you can expect a ton of effort to be expended to improve on that and I fully expect those improvements not to take decades to show up. The more interesting question is if it really is that low of a limit what the reason is for that and I don't recall seeing any explanation so far.

On another note: a superconductor that can only do 150 mA / cm^2 seems intuitively strange, as though that figure is somehow off, it's a gigantic cross section for such a small current. It is very well possible that this is somehow an error in the reporting or an actual measurement on a thin sample with small cross section. So there are many explanations possible and only one of those is a true limit of the material.

incompetent is maybe a bit harsh, but i did say he was junior, and junior devs make mistakes, and this guy was well meaning and messed up. you don't get from junior to senior or principal or staff without some mistakes, and it's the responsibility of the more senior devs to not have them in a position where their mistakes are catastrophic.

Show HN: TotalWebTool – All-In-One Website Analysis (Security, UX and More)
Hey HN,

My team and I recently released TotalWebTool as an all-in-one solution online to audit your website or web app. We'll release more documentation soon on all of the checks performed but it's currently over 150 covering technical SEO, security, performance, UX, code errors and accessibility issues. This includes everything from support for must haves like Core Web Vitals and goes all the way up to automated pen-tests (don't worry pen-tests are only manually initiated). We expect to continue growing the list of audits.

The goal is to be a place where you can keep track of your online properties and see whenever any issues arise. Automatic re-scans are supported.

You can try it today right from the homepage (https://totalwebtool.com) for a single page to see what it might find. We look forward to your feedback (likes and dislikes). API support for third parties is coming soon.

Yes. I mean anomaly detection based on identifying what’s unusual behavior not just typical.

We have computers to use their CPUs, RAM, and disk. Using it isn’t weird.

Detecting actual unwanted or dangerous behavior is bad.

For bonus points auto-remediate it (eg take the node offline so the workload moves to another node) and alert when your overall capacity of your service is potentially going to be impacted or is near a limit, for some version of near. Being human I much prefer “you have hours to fix this” than “I’m broken fix me”.

RED, Golden Signals, etc. there are plenty of nice frameworks for how to think about utilization and performance of your service that you can use to manage capacity and health.

CPU at 90 is not one of them.

As soon as someone suggests it I always ask for how long? On which processes? on which boxes? What is the “perfect” CPU utilization? Then make them think about why we wouldn’t want to use the resources we paid for.

Part of the problem frankly is that not all drugs are created equal.

There's very little reason for opioids to be freely available.

But weed, psychadelics, mdma, etc. why not?
Nah, the GP is just completely out of reality.

We won't see lossless transmission in a very long time, and no place where an aluminum cable is too expensive today will become viable because something a million times more expensive is 9% more efficient.

Batteries won't see a revolution because of this, there's simply no reason for them to (but they are currently in a revolution, and there are more to come). AC storage in the superconductor will probably be the most expensive storage mechanism you can buy, and flywheels will keep having atrocious energy density, they won't even get twice as good. But it will completely revolutionize some niches in storage.

This won't replace metal layers in CPU for a really long time. Superconductors are hard enough to make, CPUs are absurdly hard to make, and the wins on power savings aren't very large. If people make superconducting chips, it will be ones where the superconductors do active switching, what is much farther away and can enable much faster CPUs too.

I really wish people would stop repeating those. If you are going out of your way for an outlandish claim, I'm much more interested on discussing if this can replace rockets for near Earth space travel than those absurd costly low gain things.
The limiting factors for superconductors in fusion power generation efficiency is the strength of the magnetic field they can generate which is limited by how much force the superconductor can withstand since the strong magnetic field induces enormous forces on the material. It also requires very high currents. This material seems fragile and can carry very little current.
Is it me who does not understand what HATEOAS is?

Always thought that it was basically each server generated page providing the list of links/actions that was allowed from then on.

Basically a lazy, incremental, and fine grained API.

The issue being that it might not be very useful since links have to persist in general on the web. (maybe I misunderstand and it's a non issue?) whereas HATEOAS would be useful if links were never shared: then they could be dynamically generated or updated?
