No joke, I'm writing this comment from a sunbed at the beach, watching the crystal clear water with loved ones around and a dog nestled at my feet.

Yes, I'm enjoying life, thanks for asking :)
>To reduce fire risks should something like this week's errors happen again, all of the company’s 3D printers will also be updated to continuously monitor the “hotend and heatbed temperature,” alerting users when a fault is detected, and automatically turning off heater mechanisms.

So their current product offering includes a heating element capable of starting a fire but no monitoring or cutoff?
> The other two important criteria implied by this new term are that it is deliberate and that it is taken for the benefit of the “author” (company) at the expense of the user.

Yes, good distinctions. Very different from inadvertent bugs or routine technical debt.
True, most of them have probably accumulated so much wealth that they work because they want to, and can quit at any time.

They still don't contribute the majority of the taxes though;-)
> The C standard leaves a lot "undefined" or "implementation defined" that is actually well-defined on a concrete machine the compiled code runs on.

This assumes there is a one-to-one correspondence between C constructs and machine code, which isn't true. C isn't a "portable assembler" and compilers are luckily able to choose whatever machine code they think will perform best under the assumption that there is no undefined behavior.

> But it will be a sucky compiler.

I don't think gcc or clang are sucky compilers at all. In fact, their ability to aggressively optimize valid code is extremely helpful for producing high-performance programs.

> C ≠ The ANSI/ISO C standard

So C is defined neither by the standard _nor_ by existing implementations and is instead defined to be whatever your headcanon is?
> There are so many cars modified to have explosive sounding exhausts it's unreal

> There is no reason other than you want to look like a complete wanker

In case anyone doesn’t know, the pop sound can serve a real purpose. The sound comes from extra fuel being ignited in the exhaust, which is done to keep the turbo spinning when you let off the gas. It helps minimize turbo lag. It also occurs in older race cars that had carburetors because they had less precise control over fuel injection compared to modern cars.

That said, some people tune their car to imitate that sound with no purpose just cause they think it sounds cool. They waste extra fuel just to sound like that.
>Any company can slap together an SSD by soldering a controller and commodity flash together.

That's kind of why I trust and prefer Samsung (yes, despite the firmware woes) and Micron (aka Crucial) for SSDs. Kioxia too, if we're talking enterprise.

They're all in the business of making the actual NAND and maybe also the controller.
I think all that matters is that Canadians are informed about the fires. If the Canadian government is acting in good faith by "demanding" then they should reflect on whether there's a problem with public safety information flow.

Who sells a product that at purchase time brags about it lasting a long time, but then when it needs support it is too old?
Mine is a pretty high pressure, and a full face mask. The high pressure means the mask has to be strapped pretty tight. It also makes it tough to get into a regular breathing pattern, making just the act of breathing a major chore. You can't talk, or cough. You have to stay in certain positions to prevent the air from leaking out. The air echoes down the tube. I was a stomach sleeper before, which is impossible with the mask, so had to learn to sleep on my side. Every now and then, I do skip the mask occasionally, and it's words can't explain how much better it feels to sleep "normally". So I can see why a lot of people skip it.
I wrote a rigorous Atom/RSS feed generating library in Racket: Splitflap (https://joeldueck.com/what-about/splitflap/)
It has a monopoly on certain forms of connection and communication. You could easily say the same thing about telephone companies, that it was "absurd" that they had a monopoly on communication - after all, people communicate in many other ways beyond the telephone: mail, face to face, telegram, and so forth. But we still treated the telephone companies as having a monopoly on a critical form of communication. And we took the appropriate steps: broke them up or treated them as utilities.

Facebook has over 3 billion users. Nearly 40% of Earth's population. Many of whom communicate more actively through it than they do with telephones, mail, or any of the other forms of communication that we treat as public utilities. It absolutely fits the bill.
I’m not so sure. It probably matters a whole lot more when you’re starting and nobody is using your app. Twitter would likely had a much harder time catching up if was called “X” and looked as ugly as now..

Being able to aggregate feeds in a consistent format is pretty nice. That's more or less what let me create the Hacker News Personal Blogs site: https://hn-blogs.kronis.dev/

It's thanks to the original HN thread where people linked their blogs and then someone crawling them for RSS feeds to make an OPML summary, I just get the posts daily now (after getting the list of feeds from GitHub).

I actually wrote about some of the challenges of doing that on my own blog, in the "Ever wanted to read thousands of tech blogs? Now you can!" post: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/ever-wanted-to-read-thousan...
That is because of the "lawsuite", unless you are referring to the 80s.

Back then, Companies and Colleges were the ones who got UNIX. Companies went with AT&T, and IIRC Colleges when with BSD. So AT&T won out due to better financial backing and maybe a possible threat of AT&T going after BSD.
“Out of 100,000 living people, x will die from solid tumors in one year; out of 100,000 nuclear workers we believe x+2y will. This differs from the x+1y figure that was the previous estimation.”

Humans don't have an incentive to increase road use with the tradeoff of breaking down proportionally more often. A startup like Cruise is objectively incentivized to accept that tradeoff.
In the context of your comment, where should the base money come from?

If money is immediately costless to produce for the entity producing it, there is still a cost and it's born by everyone else. It must be accompanied by an increase in desired goods and services to retain value. If the entity that creates the money uses it to create more value than the inflation it causes then this is a good outcome. Otherwise if the money is created to pay for unproductive behaviour like funding big wasteful armies or propping up asset bubbles, then money will ultimately become worthless and society loses, especially if the originator(s) of new money or derived credit get bailed-out, socializing the losses.

Giving money/credit creation some friction should help prevent asset bubbles: Feedback loops that get going when new money bids up collateral, which is borrowed against to create loans to bid up collateral further etc. But there are many ways to do this, and I agree that subsidizing rich people with a 'risk-free' rate of return on government bonds is not very fair or effective.
Please turn your vehicle in to the authorities to be cubed immediately.
I wish this were taken into account more often. Where I live there's been a major push for insulating older buildings where possible, and moving from single-glaze to double-glaze windows and well-closing entry doors has converted these places to an almost air-tight box with close to no air replacement. These are compounded by the usual lack of any mechanical air extraction.

I live in one such apartment, and even though it's reasonably big, if I sleep alone with the windows closed but all the doors open, CO2 will reach around 1000 PPM according to my Airgradient.
I want to open my window. We don't have air con over here.
Maybe some friendly neighborhood hacker can find a way to change all those sound tracks to Nyan Cat?
Amsterdam is definitely at the forefront of inventing a liveable city. It is already more walkeable / bikeable that the vast majority of cities but it does not rest on its laurels.

But have people thought about the implications of planting always-on microphones all around the city (connected to the always-on cameras)?
Looks quite nice, but you should add a banner to the load screen for https://try.moonbitlang.com that it will take quite a while to load and the page is not broken.
OT: It's not actually a "noise camera". It's a speed camera with some directional microphones that triggers if there is too much noise, probably with some filtering to try to avoid triggering on noise that isn't loud car noise.

There are actually acoustic cameras that are much more like a "camera" in that you get a 2D map of the sound reaching the device. This can be overlaid on an image from a light camera and you get an image where you can see where all the sounds are coming from.

Some of them can make acoustic movies, where each frame is a light camera image overlaid with the sound map, usually coloring the optical image based on the sound with color indicating frequency and brightness indicating loudness.

With these you can do neat things like make a sharp sound and see the echo bounce around a room, or look at something making a variety of sounds and see which sounds are coming from where.

They often include software that is kind of an audio image version of Photoshop. You can use that software's equivalent of the eye dropper tool to point anywhere in the image and here the sound coming from that point. E.g., if you had an acoustic movie of the strings of piano and the pianist was playing a 10 note chord you could pick an individual string and play back the sound of just that string.

Here's a video where science YouTuber Steve Mould was loaned some to play around with, showing some of the cool things you can do with them [1].

> The goal is to support news businesses to negotiate and receive fair compensation when third parties with a dominant market position monetize their news content

https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/charter-charte/c18_...

It’s possible there isn’t a loophole where they can just demonetize news, I haven't read the law back to front, but the law only exists because of their monetization of news.

To be clear the law, as understand it, doesn’t set out a schedule of fees or anything like that - it merely sets up an enforced bargaining between companies like fb and news producers. So even if there’s no demonetization loophole, an agreement like “no monetizing shared news” is very much a possible arrangement under the law. They’d have to come to the bargaining table first tho

Free as in beer (gratis): Given away at no cost to the recipient. For instance, a closed source program with a highly restrictive license that isn't allowed to be taken apart, repaired, moved to another machine, etc, but is given away for free.

Free as in freedom/speech (libre): The recipient can do with it what they please. They can repair, alter, port, etc. For instance, an open source program with a copyleft license that the user may or may not have money paid for.

While it can be libre and also be sold, available source code is a prerequisite for libre status. And the 'four essential freedoms' include the right to redistribute, which would necessarily cause that source code that you only make available to buyers to eventually become open source to the broader community. You cannot restrict the distribution of source code without impinging on the software's libre status.

Cloud is for tracking.
$85 does seem like a lot of money for a haircut. I used to use the Great Clips, $10 places before switching to a “proper” barber that was more like $30 (US). Was it better? Yes. But I’m still not sure if it’s worth the money. I have a lot of hair that grows quickly, so I probably would go for a haircut once every 3-4 weeks. At $30 a pop that’s around $400-500 a year on cutting my hair. I don’t care how nice of a job they do, it’s hard for me, personally, to not feel like I’m just setting cash on fire.

These days I do neither. When the pandemic hit and people were socially distancing, my wife tried giving me a haircut, which wasn’t great but also wasn’t terrible. So we bought a hair trimming kit, watched a few YouTube videos and after a couple attempts she got pretty good at cutting my hair. She is by no means a proper barber, but she also only has a single client, me, so she doesn’t need to become great at cutting hair, we are just fine if she gets good at cutting my hair. And she has. I think the results are at least as good as any barber (and more consistent), and we now aren’t spending half a thousand dollars a year on cutting my hair. Obviously that isn’t a situation that will work for everyone, but I definitely recommend exploring it for those it does.

At my last company, we had developed years ago an API layer that allowed outside developers to build plugins to our web app. We also created a market place in which these developers could host these plugins.

It was an absolute constant headache trying to tease out the bugs that these plugins would introduce. They often slowed the app down to a halt, and because they’re so opaque, users would blame us for the slow experience. I suspect it was because of the fact that their performance impact was so difficult to hold accountable, plug-in developers were never incentivized to make their plugins performant and just hacked them together.

And this is universal. Every app I’ve used with a sufficient amount of capability for extensibility will invariably suffer this problem. Slack and Figma also suffer from this issue after you’ve installed a bunch of plugins. They get really slow and bug out.

It is inevitable: the more code you add to something, the worse it gets.

Previous rulings had found that when code itself was copyrighted due to being a work of art (of human labor), the output of that code was indeed copyrightable if the program did the majority of the work in producing that output. This ruling seems at odds with that previous interpretation.
