Are you kidding? Literally all someone in government has to do is to buy a Starlink subscription and see whether or not it allows them to do something the regulations shouldn’t allow them to do. They could also just refuse Starlink a license to operate in that country unless they can prove by audit that certain measures are being taken. Or they could just refuse a license to operate regardless.
Even better: if it offers a way to pay a few cents to read _this one article_. I don't want to subscribe to hundreds of websites for reading a single article every so often.

The communal spirit of Unix as described by Ritchie back in the day revolves around minicomputers (aka PDP-11) shared in a single organisation, accessible via multiple terminals. A close community of users would log into the system and would eventually come up with their own small tools for a particular purpose. Those oddly-named tools would be adopted by the small community without need for extensive documentation. This is the "Unix spirit" of the 1970s that everyone seems to be referring to.
(assumption) because their product is not appealing to a wide audience. the result? "let's add this feature to get [X hyped tech] users"
PyAutoGui is very good. I have been using it for a long time and rewrote some simple ahk automations with it recently. It's strictly not a one-to-one replacement (so I still use autohotkey) but the UI automation features are well-done.
They put their news articles dates in tiny little text at the bottom of most articles.. interesting design choice. I didn't even see them until I looked at a few.
The way they do it here is that they just close up the space, but leave a big door. Some people actually still keep a vehicle in there, with some shelves or similar on the side. Of course, this doesn't work as well if you have a big-ass car and have a small space.
Denmark's electricity is almost three times more expensive than in France. Solar+wind does not cancel out variability. Backup is needed. LCOE does not mean lower prices. Higher shares of renewables drives up costs for the network to rebalance. Producing a lot of energy when it is not needed means producing low value energy. It really depends on the electricity mix.
Cool, would be nice in conjunction with HEPA & charcoal, especially in high risk areas like the kitchen.
Heat pumps can create 3 - 5kWh of heat from 1kWh of electrical energy.
Automating a repetitive task in a low stakes environment, oh no.

English has a lot of redundancy. This is kind of complex, but it also means that you can do a lot of "mistakes" and still be understood. I believe that's one reason English has managed to become "the" international communication language (i.e. not only due to historical reasons): You can garble the language in many ways and still be understood, at least by people a bit used to this.
In my experience as a traveler working in various countries, and always trying to learn a bit of the language to communicate locally, if the native has learned a little bit of English it'll always be more efficient in communication than whatever I've learned of the native language. And one reason is that due to the redundancy of English the meaning stays the same most of the time, even with tons of grammatical mistakes. "I is" is wrong, but fully comprehensible. Make a single mistake in, say, Italian, and instead of saying "I was stupid now" you're saying "You were stupid now". Argh..

And it's more - if you hear, in a noisy environment, ".... am drinking" then you know that the missed word would be "I". Again, redundancy. There's lots of that in my native language as well, where adjectives etc. changes depending on other factors. Miss out a word and you still get if the table or the tablecloth should be burned (to paraphrase another commenter about a completely different language).
Don't shoot the messenger... There is not much difference between generic social media critique, AI angst and, gnerally, making tools responsible for the actions of their owners. If you cant stand what social media does to you, stop. But please, stop projecting your own inabilities on others. Just because a certain type of person feels unhealthy using a particular tool doesnt say how it is going to influence others... If for one met my gf on FB, and I am still grateful for the service at the time. Does that mean I unconditionally like FB, no. One thing I've learnt though is that whenever someone tries to educate me about the "truth", I know they are likely full of shit.
I keep saying this every time Delphi is mentioned, but it definitely deserves the praises:

Borland Delphi had the best and the most useful documentation/help system that I ever used - and those were times before Google or even access to Internet for many of us, so reading manuals played a huge role in learning.
There is zero correlation between IQ and wealth.
> Do you claim it'd be even bigger with European style cities?

Yeah, very likely it would be bigger if people didn't have to waste time in traffic, commuting. Imagine the value added if 50% of the people wasting their time driving in major US cities could be instead using that time to do something else during their commute. Or how much money has been dumped into building and maintaining roads that could be used for other public utilities/services with higher ROI, like education, or healthcare.

American economy is the biggest due to other factors, in spite of being entirely car-dependent, not because of it.
If you don't mind sharing which MMO are you playing? It sounds exciting being able to automate that much! :)
For me this security scenario isn't relevant at all. It reminds me of the dysfunctional situation on mobile OS. Sure, theoretically a plugin could get compromised and an update would be malicious. That is true for any software I run on my machine.

But it also comes with costs. The browser is less customizable and further locked down. That reduces possibilities without netting advantages for me. Overall this is security FUD in my opinion. And the negatives can be observed in mobile OS.
Wow. As someone who has driven from LA to Seattle without breaks quite a few times (which is around 1,000 miles), that really puts in perspective how small Europe can be at times. I guess that shouldn't be surprising as that's similar to the distance between Berlin and Moscow.
Not sure if AutoHotKey is the tool for this, but, I am looking for a functionality such that, when I get a ping from MS Teams (say), I want some other system in my home network to notify me of it - perhaps a notification in my android phone?

Anyway we can achieve this?

Deno.land is down, which means Supabase functions are down locally
It was a little shocking to see the Supabase CLI talking about downloading imports every time we started Supabase Functions, but I had assumed it was locally cached and maybe it was doing cache validation but logging to the console as "Downloading." Well, turns out it was really downloading because now Supabase CLI failing with the 500 that the deno.land shows.

The issue talks about compilation failing as a result of the same live URL dependency.

Germany's employment laws are made for jobs in manufacturing. Germans love to boast their worker-centric legislation, but what's the use of it if most hard labor is just being outsourced to less worker-friendly countries? I'm an IT professional (shocking on HN) who's trying to get into a side gig because I enjoy doing my job and learning new stuff. If I were to follow the law to the letter, I could just forget about it, because it's illegal to do paid work for more than 40h/week in here, even if you're self-employed. If I get trouble for this, I may just consider moving out.

There should be a legal requirement on how difficult “paying” for something can be.

Installing an app, entering my name, address and email, and then manually typing in the numbers on my credit card should not be allowed to be called “paying”. That’s more like a members-only club that you must join before you can use their services.
To be honest, I'm mostly joking about the billionaire thing. If I were emotionally invested enough in this idea above other parts of my life I would look for a way to get it moving. The problem is that, by its very nature, a non-profit open-source project like this could not attract venture capitalists or angel investors, lest it become the very thing it was created to challenge (*cough cough*, OpenAI, *cough cough*). A project like this would need venture altruists or angel donors instead to be feasible and sustainable — hence my fantasy of become stupidly rich to be able to get it moving, at the cost of downgrading to "normal rich".
> Avoid Jackery Solar Panels.

Can you explain? I bought the solarpanel seen in the article and also have their Explorer 240 portable power station. So far I used it only slightly and it seems to work. Any specific things I have to keep an eye on with Jackery stuff?
Is it fair to say that your argument is that low-level and high-level languages are broad enough today thar there's no incentive to make a balanced language (essentially)?

I think in a way you're right but I think languages with vms should provide a much bigger scope for those wishing to create say software that instruct to an underlying language (like my gamedev and addons example).

Where as python is simple and powerful, it's "harder" to get low-level and is limited in performance to some degree.

Hence where programming language s with a vm could fill in that niche.
You’d need a lot less power if you use infrared lights…

Still: better grid connection or home batteries are much less complicated to install than a whole new CO2 conversion set-up, plus we are going to need those if people are going to drive electric cars. The cost (energy or money) of capturing CO2 in the atmosphere into concentrate for that catalytic process.
Seems pretty off brand honestly. I don’t see how this furthers their role as a trustworthy and privacy focused company.
I've been in Luxembourg many times on our way from Belgium to France or Germany, but only last year I visited it for the first time. We did one of the Mullertal trails in 3 days and it's an absolutely beautiful little country.

Your definition of intelligence has been around for millennia and is part of the pantheism concept.
Look at the security on mobile OS. It is perfectly secure for Apple and Google. But seriously, the benefit is theoretical and only with the assumption that you believe Apple and Google to treat your data better than a third party. Brave assumption in my opinion.
Interesting. As much as ARM-based processors are doing so well in the market, it's important to understand that ARM has specific licensing agreements with Apple, Samsung, etc. It is not so obvious that it will continue being a cash cow for many more years.

> I mean, they made an entirely new architecture just to keep their vertical integration running.

No, they went for running with their own silicon because Intel couldn't be arsed to provide them with actually power-efficient, performant and new CPUs and they were locked in to AMD for GPUs (because that is something Apple doesn't like).

It speaks volumes about just how badly Intel (and AMD) were stuck in the past when Apple blew them to pieces with the M1 performance.
I'm just going to literally copy and paste a response I wrote 6 hours ago:

We did a carless vacation this year, and picked Switzerland, which is absolutely perfect for it. Trains are actually better to reach some places than cars are.

Unfortunately to get there, we had to travel through Germany, and their ICE network is a complete mess of confusion and delay. They do seem to be good at keeping the total delay just within an hour (it was 55 minutes both times), so they don't have to pay back any tickets.

The transfer of wealth to the highest income people has been a thing for all of time. High income == transfer of wealth. They're literally two different ways to say the exact same thing.

How can they be expected to afford a house? The same way they were in the past. A house is a plot of land with some sticks bundled up to create a shelter, with some added amenities like a toilet and an air conditioner. There's no reason that something like that should cost what it does. There's also no reason that a bunch of wood exposed to moisture and termites should appreciate in value over time or be viewed as an asset. Yet here we are.
>looking at clamp it smells of over engineered complexity. 3 arguments. difficult to visualise.

although you can use clamp to do complicated things that are difficult to understand, as is the case with all technology the simplest way to use it is quite clear.

(static minimum size you want for something, percentage of something, static maximum size you want for something)

thus width: clamp(100px, 80vw, 750px)

and now someone says well why wouldn't you just do min width max width etc. with that - no reason it's just nicer to have it one line to see IMO. But of course you can put clamp anywhere you can calculate anything so.

margin-left: clamp(20px, 5vw, 50px)

OR

margin-right: clamp(var(--minmarg),var(--margpercent), var(--maxmarg))

then you change your minmarg, margpercent, maxmarg as needed by normal css variable rules.

This should be an easy to understand system for a developer. It is easy enough for me to understand and visualize, and I suck at visualization.

This allows one to finally get rid of most breakpoints and say not just what the min and max heights and widths are of things but what the min and max and preferred margins, paddings, font-sizes etc. are of things - which without that IMO the max height and max width is just sort of stupid. But with that you can make designs flow and look good in a manner that can actually be described as 'responsive'

Now as I said - one can do all sorts of complicated and clever stuff on top of this sure. And if people do that they might end up with something that is difficult to reason about.

But if people can't reason about the margin example above then I think they should probably switch from Frontend development.

on edit: grammar change.
I gave your site a mention/link on my Galileo/Turbo Nutter thread yesterday - I still visit your site occasionally, so I'd just like to thank you for all the work you did on that. It really was a very useful and pioneering resource (and remains so to this day, for people with an interest in Acorn history).
3.4W at idle _is_ a lot - this is x64 territory. Many laptops use less (with the screen on!). Also this is a drum I beat a lot but RPi i just not great for server use (no ARMv8 crypto extensions for example). I am sure you could find a viable alternative that sits under 2W at idle. Rock Pi S maybe? Not sure if it is still available.
> , but they're still just that: parlor tricks

It isn't that much different than human behaviors.

People tend to repeat stuff they have seen done by our parents, sibling, friends, medias. Listen to people smalltalking in the streets, repeating the same things all over again every day. The easy success of marketing, politicians, dictators. The power of marketing and success of consumption society. Racism, bigotry, religions, addictions. All these are easily explained because people barely think. They just respond to internal and external stimulus with recipes they have been taught to follow without giving a second thought.
Stupid question, if we find a commercially viable way of converting CO2 into fuel is there a danger of "global cooling" because people will get too greedy with this?
It sounds like understanding, but not sure because it already doesn't consider if sugar (or water) molecules could form/exist in the alternate universe (also ignores trading off energy vs entropy changes) or should the water just crystalize in one half of the cup (why isng that considered)?. I don't think one can say it has really though about the problem. To be fair, language is probably not the tool to analyse the problem but mathematics are.

It is a bit like technobabble.
If there are so many valid licence plate designs - it's easier to make fake ones. An ordinary cop is unlikely to tell the difference.
For sure, but this is infinity better than some close sourced project (like hardware driver, old iphone), where the user are stuck because the code is NOT open. What you are mentioning seems like a business and funding issue in general for software development. However, in now days and age everything (beside private key) ought to be open sourced. That is how a transparent work will work. And as we can lack of transparency has caused way more problem than problem such as oVirt project
Sounds like you're looking for full-tower PC cases. They're massive and seem thoroughly unnecessary to me in this modern age but everyone's requirements are different.
Lex: Collaborate with AI to write better text
> All of this shit has to happen at the same time - preferably over night

I think it would happen gradually over decades as cities make investments in transportation infrastucture, zoning changes, traffic code, etc.

It also doesn't need to happen everywhere at once (although I'm sure some anti-car folks would disagree with me here), the sensible thing would be to start making changes in major metropolitan areas that are already feeling the strain of traffic congestion, polution, and other quality of life issues from having more cars on the road than they can handle.
There is so many interesting problems to solve. I just want there was available libraries or solutions that solved a lot of them for the least cost, so that I may build on some good foundations.

RocksDB is an example of that.

I am playing around with SIMD, multithreaded queues and barriers. (Not on the same problem)

I haven't read the DDIA book.

I used Michaeln Nielsen's consistent hashing code for distributing SQL database rows between shards.

I have an eventually consistent protocol that is not linearizable.

I am currently investigating how to schedule system events such as TCP ready for reading EPOLLIN or ready for writing EPOLLOUT efficiently rather than data events.

I want super flexible scheduling styles of control flow. Im looking at barriers right now.

I am thinking how to respond to events with low latency and across threads.

Oh the outrage of wanting to keep up with inflation and livable wages. Bloomberg's editorialized, entitled worldview attempting to spark class-warfare between the struggling and the extremely struggling is transparent. In other countries, workers unionize and have protections most US employees lack.
I have it too, but often forget to use it in favour of Google Maps, but Google Maps is terrible for anything not in a car or train, and OSM always has fantastic detail for hiking trails. Every vacation I find myself switching to Organic Maps.

This vacation it helped us find a trail to a really beautiful waterfall in Switzerland.
> Are there use cases where we must burn propane because we can’t replace that process with electricity?

Yes. Ships, for one - no way you can power an oceangoing large ship with batteries for the entire trip, but doable with LPG (which is essentially a propane/butane mix). Assuming that further technology (chemical or biotech) gets developed to combine it to form larger hydrocarbons, it can also be used as a precursor for airflight synthfuel.
I think this is correct.
