Unlike most of Europe they have very poor starting point with minimal hydroelectric power resources etc which makes things look relatively worse. However their current progress if you look at the graphs is still fast paced.

Twitter is still an important resource for many people around the world, most of which are not English speakers and are indifferent to the topics that brought Twitter so much hate. I understand some of the feelings behind these "good riddance" comments, and perhaps Twitter deserved it, but for a lot of the users it's just unhelpful collateral damage.

I wish Twitter was split and/or sold off to someone else.
> why would I ever want my browser to access USB

With ESPHome[1] I could edit, compile and up upload firmware to my ESP device directly in my browser without installing any tools.

I had planned on using VSCode, but I got some extension conflicts due to some other extension (Platform.io IIRC).

I had the similar reaction when first reading about WebUSB as you, but after seeing how smooth it was, I admit I thought it was pretty darn neat. It drastically lowers the barrier of entry for those who aren't that technical.

The Lucy Letby Case
Because I’m otherwise uninformed to pros/cons here and don’t have the benefit of experience to fall back on, what are the alternative suggestions for best practices for these types of problems? For context, my app is a single backend dev (me), separate frontend team that tasks on as needed. Backend dev resources are unlikely to expand beyond me for the 2-year horizon.

I also have all context on vision for direction of the web app, and field all user feedback and requests. Front end team has no context on user needs, and does not keep any roadmap for the app. So it seems like the above recommended pattern could make sense in that I could drive more front end work from the backseat, so to speak.
I've had a great experience with eSIMs these past few days during a trip to Europe (coming from the US). It's so convenient to be able to arrive at a city and use airport wifi to download a mobile data package for a few bucks. The process is slightly clunky but not bad at all.

Sample of one. I came of age on Linux in the late 90s/early 00s. Through other nerds on IRC channels I became familiar with Perl and didn't like it. I also picked up basic awk in the context of one-liners for shell pipelines and it was pretty nice for that. Easier to remember than the flags for cut and friends.

Learning awk a bit more deeply in recent years has been good too. I can write one liners that do more. I shipped a full awk script once, for something unimportant, but I would never do that again. For serious text munging these days I'd rather write a Rust program.

How is it possible for a company to use a single letter as a trademark? This is completely stupid. Not only it is confusing (when I read this title I thought its about Xorg/X11) I can't imagine them being able to enforce such trademark. Then there is destruction of one of the most recognisable brands in the world (twitter). It literally feels like the jerk that bought the company is trolling everyone and purposefully running it into the ground. Considering his vast interests in China and who will benefit (bytedance, tik tok etc) I also think there clearly is a Chinese angle to the whole thing.
But also has a schema language, and a avro.reflect which can construct schema from java class.

Avro schema in Json is very unreadable in my experience.

Another bad thing is something like ["int", "null"] gets formatted over 2 lines by standard JSON formatters, making it even harder to read.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately though I do not believe it is relevant to my question. Allergies are an immune system disorder, but they are not an auto immune system disorder (unless the human body has started producing pollen without my knowledge). The article does not mention allergies as far as I can tell (probably for this reason).
My best friend growing up was always into physics, and at one point in high school I remember him committing to a deterministic view of the world, because everything could be described by physics, and if you knew the position and velocity of every particle in the universe, you could fast forward or rewind everything, and so on. After he got his Ph.D. we were talking about similar topics, and I asked him if he still believed that. He blinked a couple times and said, "absolutely not, it's much more complicated," which I have to admit I was glad to hear him say.

But what I ought to have asked is whether he thinks it's because the rules we know are incorrect or missing a few key features, or whether at some fundamental level they just can't do what he used to think they did. To my worldview, it borders on magical thinking to believe they couldn't describe everything in the universe. On the other hand, intuitively, it seems deeply unsatisfying (not to mention empirically unproven) to claim they do. It's a big question for sure.
“ In case we needed more evidence that putting dynamic code between hyperlinks from one page to another, add this to the pile...”

This sentence doesn’t seem to be complete. What did you mean?
I'm not suggesting that anyone should do anything without the advice of a doctor. Yes, deliberately exposing yourself to things you are allergic to is dangerous and an allergist's guidance is very important for safety. I'm sorry immunotherapy didn't work for you but your anecdotal evidence doesn't invalidate all the published research.

Yes, allergies always develop after exposure. But not all exposure is created equal! Some types of exposure tend to cause allergies while other types tend to protect against allergies. Immunotherapy is the right type of exposure, under the guidance of an allergist.
Avidemux is another alternative existing for many years. I've used it a lot to quickly edit videos without recompression - saved me tons of time.
That's not what was said. What was said was implying that autistic folks need the ability to have their actions judged from the perspective of their trouble rather than just blindly judged 'asshole' when they make a social miss-step.

First, it didn't sound like California had a separate sub-rank in the index ranking. That's why GP speculated it would be much higher outside of the US, and you also speculated why it wouldn't be very different ("I'm not sure California would rank that highly"). I also provided my reasoning why CA would be higher outside of the US, because it hasn't been pointed out that CA even had an index independent of the US. It wasn't to be "we're awesome." It was to provide the material reasons why I would speculate it's economic complexity would be high in the state level rankings. If the index ranking provided a state-level ranking, I would be interested in seeing that. I'm not able to find it navigating their site.
I’m just part of the peanut gallery, but how can you work something out when the maintainer can and has already just locked the issue and walked away?

I don’t see a problem with the community forking as motivation to get the maintainer to come back the conversation or to provide a path for the community to resolve the issue for themselves. A fork was literally one of dtolnay’s own suggestions, bluff or not.
I sure have! What I haven't done is advertise a car I'm selling as X, and then tell the person when they drive 2 hours to my place that it's actually X + $5k, oh and they have to buy $1500 "underbody protection", $2k "window vin etching", and a $3k extended warranty before they can drive it off my property.

To add. The password management space is vast. And 1password seems healthy in it's finances. So I see no reason for it to get killed off.

>Given all those rhetorical shaming of individuals to consume less, it's illuminating to actually look at the data and see what's the actual the effect even if you could literally force (instead of shaming) everyone to live that lifestyle.
Yeah, almost like the entire notion of a "carbon footprint" was a piece of propaganda produced by a literal oil company[0] to move the blame of polluting the planet from the corporations that knowingly did it, to earnest and empathetic individuals like the original person I replied to, causing them to abstain from vacation (and more) for negligible benefit while the corporations continue to pollute with impunity.

Fascinating. A related question: When we look at Andromeda, which has a diameter of 220,000 light years, we are looking at it slightly edge on. Shouldn't the stars on the back edge be in a relatively different place in the sky than the stars on the front edge since the galaxy has moved relative to us over that 220K light years?
Took me a minute to wrap my head around it, that explanation isn't worded that clearly, but then I got it.

That happens because time is a factor in how light from different parts of the object will reach the observer. Light from its far side takes longer and in that time the object continues to move. You can see behind the object, because its rear end moves out of the way of the light coming from itself during the travel time of that light.

Equal pay for women isn't a movement. Modern feminism is the movement, and there this quote becomes relevant:

> Mass movements that are good at what they do make previously content individuals frustrated and further frustrate their adherents while pretending to advance the movement. This means that the strongest mass movements are inevitably going to be the ones that are the best at not delivering the goods.

Equal pay for equal work is pretty much achieved and the so-called gender wage gap is extremely misleadingly used to foster frustration.

My favorite type of mass hallucination is the type that gets painted by radar.
It's using SQLite files (all of Datasette is built around SQLite at the moment) which are stored on Fly Volumes (Datasette Cloud provides a dedicated Fly Machines Firecracker container for each team account) and backed up to S3 using Litestream.

The initial goal was to provide a private collaboration space, where scaling isn't as much of a challenge - at least until you get companies with thousands of employees all using it at once, though even then I would expect SQLite to be able to keep up.

I've since realized that the "publishing" access of Datasette is crucially important to support. For that I have a few approaches I'm exploring:

1. Published data sits behind a Varnish cache, which should then handle huge spikes of traffic as long as it's to the same set of URLs.

2. Datasette has a great scalability story already for read-only data: you publish to something like Cloud Run or Vercel which can spin up new copies of the data on-demand to handle increased traffic. So I could let Datasette Cloud users say "publish this subset of data once every X minutes" and use that.

3. Fly are working on https://fly.io/docs/litefs/ which is a perfect match for Datasette Cloud - it would allow me to run read-replicas of SQLite databases in multiple regions around the world.

Part of Datasette/Datasette Cloud development is sponsored by Fly at the moment, in return for which we'll be publishing detailed notes on what we learn about building and scaling on their platform.

In terms of scaling volume storage itself... the technical size limit for SQLite is 280TB, but I'm not planning on getting anywhere near that! I expect the sweet spot for Datasette Cloud will be more around the 100MB to 100GB range, probably mostly <10GB.

From what I can tell, it was x.com even after the merger with Confinity, and the change to PayPal didn’t happen until after Thiel took over.

There are also accounts of focus groups where people had negative reactions to the name X but the focus group result was written positively.

It wasn't a spin, it was just a refusal to accept your moving the goalposts.

>Can we just agree that India's Chandrayaan-3 will be a huge moment for humans?

Sure, and I have nothing against India's space achievements. India should have shown more backbone in the UN votes against Russia's invasion, though, so they're not entirely benevolent right now.

But there's no comparison to Russia's crimes, of course. They are far worse.

You can feed new data into it quite easily.

a lot of the dismissive takedown of LLM's intelligence uses their spurious knowledge of the world, but it is quite easy to have them 1. search the internet 2. search research articles 3. read books and have them work to iteratively improve something.

Right now they cannot do much reliably but calling them a parrot is miopic how little we understand how humans are intelligent and to how LLMs today are more intelligent than a non negligible chunk of the population.
The article is highly opinionated. This basically opens the floodgates for critical comments. But like you, I sense some value here, because distilling to fundamental principles is part of the game in physics. I am not knowledgeable enough to comment on how accurate it all is, but I am reminded of amazing things like Noether's theorem, where conservation principles come from symmetries. I would love to understand all of this better, and my assumption is that producing results from symmetries is what much of particle physics is focused on.

I think I'm okay with how opinionated this article is because, while I am not qualified to judge, it gives me an incredible sense of the wonder of physics. And I think opinionated intuitions, albeit somewhat wrong or imprecise, are useful for guiding ones understanding.
He intended to back out of the deal from the start, it was supposed to be an attention-grabbing stunt, and if you believe conspiracy theories there was some financial upside from doing so, though I can't remember exactly what.
I also disagree.

I agree that pretending you have multiple clients sets up a more difficult bar to meet. I agree that bar might be overkill for some projects.

The idea that it is overkill for all projects is a leap I can't follow. Optimizing for greenfield development speed is something inexperienced devs often do, and that's what this feels like.

For one thing, safety is not a binary property. It's entirely possible these vehicles might be human-equivalent in broad metrics in some reasonable ODD that's not the ODD they're currently operating under. It might be that the vehicle software is fine, but the response processes are insufficient in some way. There's an infinite variety of possible issues (or nothing wrong at all) which the investigation will try to uncover.

As for the logic behind half rather than all:

1. Revoking a permit is a drastic action that could cause cruise to leave the DMVs regulatory area entirely and go to another state like Arizona with essentially no oversight.

2. It could open them up to legal action that would consume lots of money for essentially no purpose

3. It gets the incident rate down so the situation is less political while the investigation is ongoing.
> That's not how turbines work. Pressure head is independent of volume.

I'm not talking about pressure head. I'm talking about energy storage. If everything is held constant (reservoir volume, height difference) but the density of the fluid changes, then the energy stored changes. Because gravitational potential energy is E = mgh. And m = volume * density.

But since you mentioned pressure head, if volume changes, it doesn't affect pressure. But if the fluid density changes (and all else is equal), then that DOES affect pressure. That's why if you measure pressure in mmHg you will get a different number than if you measure it in mmH2O. So if you took a pumped hydro storage system and drained the water out and replaced it with denser fluid, the fluid would press harder on the turbine.

That's a fair point. However I think blaming media lacks evidence. If media were a primary cause rather than simply reporting on underlying frustration then I would expect even more revolutions as media becomes more widespread. That didn't happen with radio as far as I'm aware. Maybe it happened in some very oppressed areas with social media. But I think it would be very easy to confuse causation with reverse causation.

It’s laughable that people blame the EU for Turkey’s regression. 2nd the 3rd generation Turks in the EU are amongst Erdogan’s most radical supporters, Erdogan got a far greater share of the overseas ballots from EU member states than he did back in Turkey, in fact the only two countries where the opposition had a lead were the UK and US.

Turkey always had a demographic problem, just like Iran does, it’s not in the EU because it could not resolve its own demographic problem not that it’s demographic problem was somehow due to the EU closing the door on Turkey’s membership.
