I think we're actually in agreement, but these issues are hard to discuss clearly because the words and ideas surrounding them are pretty muddled together.

I would argue that the type of leadership you are talking about is still ultimately self interest- it is still putting your own ideals or goals first, and being willing to endure hardship or difficulty to accomplish them. Wanting your family, relationships, etc. - things you care deeply about- to thrive is hardly self sacrifice.

This is a philosophical argument as old as the hills... but it seems that often what one calls altruism, another calls self interest, and they can be talking about the same thing. For example, in Ayn Rands books she emphasizes "selfishness" as a virtue, and yet her "selfish heros" are usually people working on some hard technical problem that would mostly benefit other people, and her "altruistic villans" are doing some type of empty posturing to make themselves look good, to gain personal social status and power. So her concepts are pretty muddled as well- was Stalin really evil because he put others needs before his own? That seems like a pretty silly take for someone mass-murdering their political opponents while living in multiple palaces.

Ultimately, I don't find the dichotomy of selfishness vs altruism to be a very meaningful distinction- it seems like people can easily categorize anything into either category. Things I think are "good" usually involve taking seriously both your own and others needs, looking for good solutions with creativity and an open mind, and being willing to endure hardship to make things better.
What do you mean? The fuel itself should be carbon neutral, even if it requires extra energy to create. I don't see any reason you couldn't make carbon neutral bio fuel, although I'd net on syngas instead.

That's pretty scary, since the common wisdom these days is that appliances bought from brick-and-mortar stores should be safer/more reliable than the random thing bought off Amazon.
I agree that a better tool is needed! I like all the improvements you are selling the tool on, but one of my biggest gripes with code review experiences has been the inability to specify the ordering of the files in the diff. Most people look at the diffs from top to bottom by default, and I sometimes have my questions answered when I move down in a diff. It would be so much better for the author to be able to select an order.

Good luck!

There's endless reasons you might want to stop other people from reading the things they want to read, and none of them matter, because, it is not your business what other people read.
In my experience, catastrophic failure is extremely rare.

An overheating compressor starts burning its oil. That burned oil sludge then clogs everything internally, and eventually the whole system stops being able to work. It will generally get so hot it automatically turns off on overload at that point.
Malthus was essentially correct, but wrong about the when and how. Industrializing societies can play whack-a-mole with constraints that limit their population growth, successfully so far.

What saved us was the surprising phenomenon that those societies tend to have quite low birthrates. Multiple possible reasons for that:

* high cost of living and raising children,*

* availability of birth control,

* waning social pressure of getting many children,

* no immediate economic benefits of raising children (in agrarian societies, they are essentially free labor on the farm, and a huge young population makes it easier to bootstrap an industrial economy). Of course, eventually there will be a problem when a huge percentage of the population is too old to work.

We will be fine as long as we can sustain agriculture:

* oil must be a-plenty to run farming equipment. It will be a long time before electricity has taken over

* we need farmland with intact soil and water

* we need fertilizer (phosphorus is running low soon, and oil is required as well)

* we need pollinators for many crops. Hand-pollinating is expensive

* We must not run out of pesticides to maintain yields

And probably some more requirements. If any of them is not fulfilled, society collapses and things can get ugly quickly. These things partly contribute to recent wars in Africa, the Middle East, and other places.

Edit:

*: low child mortality makes it necessary to actually support most children all the way to adulthood
I read the book "Database Internals: A Deep Dive Into How Distributed Data Systems Work" by Alex Petrov (O'Reilly Media) recently, and I wrote a blog post summarising my learnings from the book and from further research into the topic. Hopefully it will be interesting and useful for you too!

"Please timebox to an hour" is a bit dodgy though. If one candidate really does that, but the rest give it an extra 2 or 3 hours, that 1 hour candidate will probably be at a disadvantage.
The user writing:

> In my case meet drains almost 2x amount of power and after an hour-lasting meeting I have no battery left, but on one-hour meeting on skype I still have 56% of battery.

is comparing apples to oranges via an uncontrolled comparison.

> WebRTC for encoding, which is the compute-heavy part of a video call

On Windows in Chrome, Google Meet will correctly use the same hardware acceleration for video encoding that Skype does. Both will ultimately use DXVA on modern hardware. On macOS, the story is complicated and I know less about Skype's internals.
> Emergency powers are broad, both at the state and federal levels.

This is often repeated by the media, but no, emergency powers aren't a magic card you can pull out to ignore the law. Emergency powers don't supersede the Constitution.

The government preventing the sale of a property without any compensation would be very clearly considered a "taking". For example, even in cases of Eminent Domain the government still has to compensate you for the fair value of your property.

Data collection is the issue politicians are presenting, but I think the actual worry is in the other direction: the influence the Chinese govt can have over the US population through algorithmic and explicit feed changes.
Show HN: Autometrics Explorer – A Contextual UI for Prometheus
We're thrilled to introduce the Autometrics Explorer 1.0, a developer-friendly UI designed to visualize Prometheus data. Explorer leverages the open source Autometrics framework https://github.com/autometrics-dev/ for function-level metrics.
It is built to help engineers swiftly transition from an alert to identifying the misbehaving function, streamlining the debugging process.

Key features:
1. Service Level Objectives: Define SLOs in code, setting up thresholds for availability and latency, which can be visualized in the explorer.

2. Fast debugging feedback loop: After you've defined your SLOs you can swiftly navigate from an alert to the misbehaving function, enhancing your debugging experience.

3. Local-First Experience: Access the Autometrics Explorer through the [am](https://github.com/autometrics-dev/am) CLI. It can spin up a local Prometheus that scrapes your instrumented functions and application code.

4. Basic Call Graph: Understand the inter-function relationships with a simple call graph, helping identify the actual faulty code behind a Service Level Objective breach.

For a deeper dive into the features and a complete tutorial, check out the blog post:https://autometrics.dev/blog/announcing-the-autometrics-expl....

Also, visit the Autometrics Documentation site https://docs.autometrics.dev for more details and join our Discord https://discord.gg/kHtwcH8As9 for any questions!

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

I would want to do sort of similar to Lucene's support for both stemmed and non-stemmed fields together - so that you could rank the hit in the non-stemmed field higher than the hit in the stemmed field - so helping the precision.

This is pretty much it! The book promotes sand over aquarium rocks (ideally living sand from a lake, pond, or river bank, laws permitting), but I’ve seen people have success with fine gravel/coarse sand as well. If it goes in ‘dead’, it’ll be live within a month for sure.
Your judgement is wrong. I had read that. I retain my opinion of the article. They ignore the elderly, families, and groups. Which are a large portion of travelers. Plus they acknowledge that they are creating passenger conflicts, and don't address that.

Coming up with a better proposal than this is trivial. Here goes.

During flight, lock the overhead bins. When deplaneing, those without overhead luggage go first, from first to last row as now. This makes sense because they generally walk faster because they have less stuff. Those with overhead luggage have to wait for the steward or stewardess to unlock the overhead bins following the fast group, and then exit from last row to first. Therefore those who are slow to get things out of bins, do not slow others. Those needing assistance wait until the very end, as now.

Getting stuff out of bins is the gating factor here. And so there is no passenger conflict about the fast people leaving first, because the others are waiting on the bins being unlocked, then for people behind them to pass. And groups get to leave together.

There you go. A faster approach than now. With fewer problems.

Ask HN: How to Audit Electricity Usage?
My electric bill seems excessive to the point that I'm starting not to believe it — it's just shy of $5K per year in San Diego. We mostly avoid A/C, but use our mini split system in one room for part of some hotter work days. We use fans, and have several computers set to sleep when not in use.

My question is: What's the best way to audit my electrical usage against my provider's claims? I can apparently get hourly snapshots via a "Green Button" download. I have a smart meter that uses Itron OpenWay. I'm happy to invest in needed smart plugs and/or devices that work with my smart meter.

Also, is there any point in calling my provider before I do a self-audit?

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

I haven't been to any of those airports, except for Lisbon. Didn't see any front and back boarding in there. Neither in BCN, MAD, LHR, LGW, IST, or AMS. I have boarded and de-boarded from the back (but not from the front) in a handful of smaller Spanish airports, though.

In the US, I would say that it is not usual at all, or I have been to the wrong airports (IAD, DFW, AUS, IAH, SFO, LAX, JFK, LGA, CLT, ORD). I haven't seen this either in Asia.

Perhaps this is highly airport dependent? Still, I would think that this is far from common.

This is false.

In "the Twitter Files" we learned that American social media companies actually manipulate public opinion on sensitive political topics (censoring content based on hypothetical "Russian involvement"). And they haven't been held to account.

Meanwhile, there is no actual evidence of TikTok doing this in the West. I'm sure Chinese Douyin complies with government censorship for their domestic product, but there is no evidence that the American-managed product has done this. If it is happening and we just haven't found the evidence, the effect isn't there: Americans hate China more than ever.

I understand you wish to believe the opposite, because it would make us feel fuzzy inside about how great America is and evil the chicoms are, but there simply isn't evidence to support your comment.
+1 Its a great read.
free societies are allowed to people to do unsavory things. Sometimes things change and activities once frowned upon become mainstream once people realize its not bad (or is quite good).
That I know of, photography is still prohibited on the MBTA in Boston, but you see it all the time.

I think the Overton window has shifted to the point where the ability to take a photo is now assumed to be a given, and enforcement otherwise would be difficult because "everybody's doing it".
3 plates at 12 years old is insane for a boy, for a girl it is even crazier. I thought the depth would be really bad but it was almost parallel, very impressive.
No, you're comparing apples and oranges. In the poll, the reason they support banning TikTok is due to security concerns about China. The person I responded to was implying that the respondents' opinions are irrelevant because they do not (he assumes) use the platform themselves, and my point is that using the platform does not make your opinion on this issue more or less valid. Nobody is using addiction as a metric for banning anything in this case.
US control over tech companies is a bit subtler than that and mostly manifests in certain people going through a revolving door between the executive suite in tech companies and some job in the military-industrial complex, as well as lucrative government contracts for the companies (look at how the deal was done for cloud services for the Pentagon).

It's _extremely_ common for people with NSA or similar experience to have very senior positions at US tech companies, and there's a reason for that. It's nothing formal, it's more that having friendly people on both sides of the fence is mutually beneficial for the government and for those companies.

I think it's fine for an otherwise-free society to decide that another country's government poses a threat to free societies elsewhere, and then do things like ban foreign investment and exports into the problematic country and its companies.

But not allowing their own citizens to access content produced in that problematic country smacks of Soviet-style cold war isolation. Or, hell, the Chinese government's block on any outside news or media it doesn't agree with.

Strategically, if the US (and others) want to remain free, democratic societies, doing things like banning TikTok is a step in the wrong direction.

My point was that CPU cycles mean nothing now. Compared to programmer cycles they are effectively free. So stuff it into RAM and forget about it. Why not?

"Sometimes kids are complete idiots"... so definitely ban their social network but keep yours full of phony influencers and extreme politics - because the adults are never complete idiots...
I guess my response is: "So make it visible". Because that's easy to do with any manner of methods.

Sure - each library is going to do its own thing with regards to how it manages it's internal DOM and state, but that does not matter at all.

All you care about in wiring them together is:

"Can I call some js code in response to state change in svelte?"

and

"Can I call some js code in response to a state change in react?"

and the answer to both is a resounding "Yes!".

So now I can easily make the state of one visible to the other... I just run some code in response to a change on either side that updates the state of the other - done.

If you want to get adventurous - you can automate the entire thing away with a proxy store, so it happens everywhere by default.
You don't get "native performance" (as in the speed that a native application would run) even with JIT. You still need to implement the semantics of the virtual machine, and generate the native code, add safety guardrails for memory safety, etc. The Hotspot JVM is a world class implementation that does all of that well and still loses to C/C++ outside specialized benchmarks.

The Therac-25 disaster should be on this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25
In my view, I do think Samsung’s hardware is generally more reliable, however this gets negated by their dogshit firmware. I’ve had multiple different samsung enterprise and oem drives die because their firmware is full of bugs.

Basically one will suddenly decide it hates life and will then only show up as having only 1gb of space and the firmware version set as “ERRORMOD” (“error mode”). This is not a time counter rollover issue as far as I can tell (though samsung has plenty of those too [0]) as there wasn’t anything in my smart logging that would indicate a time value they approached and died. Samsung’s firmware is just super buggy and can get caught in a bad state. You can find business purchasers complaining about these issues as well. [1]

Someone once decompiled the firmware of the EVO 840 before they started encrypting it. Have a look at the “Bugs” section to have a laugh: http://www2.futureware.at/~philipp/ssd/TheMissingManual.pdf

So when you see a samsung enterprise/oem drive on ebay with 99% of it’s life left, what you are really buying is a drive with bugs but no way to obtain fixes, since samsung will give you the business version of go fuck yourself by telling you to “contact your vendor”.

Part of the problem is samsung cultivates a complete shitshow where vendors will “customize” firmware, so an identical drive from lenovo will need different firmware than one from HP. The other part of the problem is Samsung’s consumer drive branch is basically completely separate from their oem/enterprise branch despite what is mostly the same hardware and firmware. So while the consumer branch has historically had to eventually face the market consequences of gross negligence, the enterprise branch is shielded by misdirection to the vendors.

Fortunately mine where quite cheap so not much loss, but still, they lost any illusion of competence over other companies in my eyes.

Note there is a collection of samsung firmware here, though it is hardly complete: https://github.com/lolyinseo/samsung-nvme-firmware

P.S. Also note there is a poorly documented but common form of ssd “failure” that can happen. If you have a drive suddenly not show up on next boot (especially after power loss), using the power cycling technique can often recover a drive: https://dfarq.homeip.net/fix-dead-ssd/

But that's what marketing and sales are for. The first result for the Cafelat on Google (at least to me) isn't even their own web page. It helps that the Flair is an excellent product too.

This is what marketing, sales, and brand outreach do: they connect customers with products. People get sold Flairs, they like them, they tell others, people consume content for Flairs, Robots occupy the same niche and once you get a Flair you don't really have a reason to go with a Robot.
It doesn’t work in a capitalistic society, as capitalism only benefits, those who own. It’s my belief that we create enough resources in this world for everyone to live a comfortable life but we don’t love one is because a few thousand people hoard all the resources and say we have to keep working.

We are not good at estimating the speed of large objects because so much of our perception of the speed of objects happens in "units of relative length over time". When a small dog walks beside a horse the dog will appear much faster.
