Tracking and measuring KPI is good, without it the company won't know it's current performance and how to fix / improve it (though beware on burnout). However when it's become target with financial incentive, it ceases to be good measure, because everyone will try to optimize things to reach the target.

Velocity (work complete / planned * 100%) should always be a measurement, because it can help to identify errors in workflow / team member, and prevent demotivation when they need to perform task outside their goal.
On the other hand, they get some high-concentrated storages of refined materials, and we will leave lots of those rune-engraved panels that emit an unnatural power when exposed to light.

Anyway, unless we are talking about some really unprecedentedly disaster, we'll leave plenty of paper books to help them understand those things and bootstrap their society.

Windows 1252 served as Latin 1 used to be common enough that browsers interpret a Latin 1 declaration as Windows 1252. Nowadays it seems moderately common for such text to be served with a utf-8 declaration, so it gets mangled in other ways. Or it gets imported into a CMS with no conversion or the wrong conversion, which has a similar result.

You're right, ASCII is more common, but single-byte encoded prose that goes beyond ASCII is usually Windows 1252 in my experience.
I hope they will revive the ST microcomputer family, that's way more interesting to me personally.
In addition to what others have said, it fixes a “bug” in Shannon’s continuous version of the entropy. Shannon assumed you could just replace the sum with an integral and call it a day. However, two bad things happen:

1. This definition of entropy is not invariant to coordinate transforms. If you change the parameters of your distribution, you get a different value for the entropy, despite the change of parameters not adding or removing information.

2. You can get negative values for the entropy.

Jaynes argued (in a way that’s quite readable if you find his original paper, I’m on mobile) that really you should pick a base reference measure q and define the entropy as -KL(p; q). This fixes the first bug which is the critical one. The second bug is halfway fixed because this quantity is always non-positive. However that’s alright because often we really care about the change in entropy not the absolute value (like how we care about the change in potential energy not the absolute value).

This gets at why the KL divergence is often called the relative entropy. It is the entropy relative to the reference measure q.

Is setup on these more like ST's Cortex-M (wire debugger to SWD lines; connect the debugger to PC, flash a bare-metal program that interacts with peripherals using MMIO and prints to CLI using RTT), like a PC or Raspberry Pi (Plug in GPOS installation USB stick, but maybe it's on a custom PCB), or neither/a mix?

It sounds like maybe the flash/RAM is offboard? Q/OctoSPI or something else?
They have a list published; it’s compatible with some, but not all, cartridges. It’s a Rockchip-based system, not an FPGA like Analogue’s stuff; my guess is this will work like the Hyperkin RetroN. Those systems dump the ROM off of the cartridge and then start an emulator it, which doesn’t work with SD card carts - the emulated ROM loads but can’t find the SD card because the emulator doesn’t actually talk to the cartridge hardware directly.
I would use Firefox profiles if it were easier.

Soda tends to be about 30mg of caffeine per serving, a cup of coffee or tea is between 60 and 120mg, and energy drinks are generally 140 to 200mg, though some energy drinks like Bang have up to 300mg of caffeine per can.

Personal anecdote:
For me coffee has a laxative effect which I don't get to the same degree when drinking strong tea or energy drinks with very high caffeine levels.

Fair enough. I intended only to test the specific narrow claim OP made that you had quoted, which seemed to be about a local file test. This shows it is technically true that browsers are capable of detecting UTF-8, but only in one narrow situation and not the one that's most interesting.

Indeed, in the Chromium source code we can see a special case for local files with some comment explanation. https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/dea8b2608dd5d95e38...
For real. Atari 2600 enthusiasts who actually own cartridges and want to buy something like this will almost certainly be put off by the inauthenticity of software emulation. It seems well-engineered (9-pin serial ports for the controllers, even). But FPGA vs. software emulation is where my mind draws a line between interpreting these as either a premium product, or a novelty toy.
I disagree. Just because there's no sign of inflection yet in is earliest period of exponential growth doesn't mean that the conditions to keep building at this rate (or, rather, faster) will remain for another 30 years.

We're in a period with low-hanging fruit. Lots of available space. Lots of roofs that don't have don't panels yet. Lots of mines churning our rare elements.

What will happen as solar starts to saturate the market, and the price of electricity continues to fall (thus lowering the incentive to build more farms) while the available space shrinks and the number of rare elements decreases (increasing the cost of farms)?

I'm not saying this will happen, but it was mentioned in the Greens Dilemma article posted and, and is certainly worth thinking about.

For a lot of things I’m happy for sandboxing. Why should random games or todo apps need more access? But the fact you can’t get good backup software like Backblaze is a problem. They need more options for levels of sandboxing, including possibly none (with heavy review).
Most of the money "invested" in this deal belongs to institutions and individuals who have chosen to invest in BlackRock products. A trivial example is if your pension is with BlackRock, they are investing on your behalf and they get a very minor fee for it (minor in terms of percentage, not value). So while the headline is that BlackRock invested in ABC, the actual exposure to the profits or losses is for the people whose money they have invested. The amount of money BlackRock might invest of their own is usually negligible ( sometimes called coinvesting or balance sheet investing, not common for larger firms like fidelity or BlackRock).

What the exact flow is will depend ultimately on how the fund is structured. For example, Goldman will run a private equity focussed fund that you can put money in as a customer, so if you did put money in it, they would invest in similar deals on your behalf. Other customers of Goldman may or may not choose to invest in that fund, preferring something like a bond fund or equities fund etc.

Our company uses Power BI for this very reason. Most of our users are content with what's available in the reports we've built in Power BI. However, a few power users directly connect to the datasets we've created (that also feed the Power BI reports) and can mix and match that data in Excel.

Excel will import datasets from the Power BI client, and you can refresh the data at any time. The nice part of this arrangement is that the whole model is imported. All the relationships between tables, all the added calculation columns, all the measures are there for use by the end user in Excel.

Power BI has been a great solution for our company (~1000 employees).

I would be surprised and upset if CFIUS did not work closely with intelligence agencies. CFIUS is an agency charged with risk mitigation from foreign actors. Doing that effectively requires good information and risk assessments. If CFIUS did not work closely with intelligence agencies, they would either be incapable of performing their function or running their own intelligence agency.
Nice article. I would like to add another germane point to these discussions that the article didn't mention:

> back-of-the-envelope math suggests that the cost of giving each American household a battery wall unit, conservatively priced at around $8,000, would cost something on the order of a trillion dollars

Back-of-the-envelope math like this, when applied to the real world, almost always fails. This computation was just the number of households in the US (~124 million) times $8,000. In real world, stuff gets more expensive as you demand a larger share of the stuff's supply, because there's only so much batteries (and its component minerals) being produced in the world at any given time.

Grid modernization to adapt to renewables is a fascinating subject, and I hope it gets more investment in all aspects.
The Cloud, and therefore the integration of as much as possible in it, is core Microsoft strategy.

It's about the recurring payments, the lock-in, and ultimately literally having the knowledge and business processes of the world economy on their own computers.

But if you get a summary in your inbox and show it to your PMs let us know how that goes down.

Show HN: A CLI tool and controller to access K8s network through WireGuard
Hi everyone!

k8s-insider is a CLI tool to manage VPN networks and access Kubernetes workload and service resources directly through a WireGuard tunnel.

It started as a simple Helm chart with a linuxserver/wireguard-like container image but, possibly due to my neurodivergence getting the better of me, evolved into a toolbox that, depending on the cluster configuration, can more or less automagically configure multiple networks with dynamic IP assignments and netpol-limited access to the cluster.

I’ve found it to be a perfect middle ground between juggling multiple port-forwards and deploying something like Tailscale to the cluster.

And it’s written in Rust, which made it oh-so-lovely to work on. :>
yea i figured as much. clang-repl might be a ground-up reimplementation but i don't really have high hopes. of course it would be nice if C++ had a repl-like environment.
> TBH the nonsensical nature of monarchy works out for Australia, as it costs essentially nothing and sort of acts as a ground strap to make the idea of “head of state” rather irrelevant. Just compare to countries like France or USA where the Head of State gets capital letters and is a person with actual power.

> Next best would be a president like in Germany who is basically a nonentity with less power than a GG.

Meh, you're just moving the position 1 rank down. The German Chancellor (in other countries, the Prime Minister) wields all the power instead.

Plus, you know, they're only presidents. After 4-5-6-7 (x2 in some cases) years they go away.

Because children can't eat correct, even in the western countries (and while US and UK are the worst offenders, this isn't limited to them).

That's also why I'm quite cross with the 'you should have children' crowd. No. Please don't. I've heard of a 14 yo girl prostitute herself in the toilets to guys her age (from her class even). A quick BJ for two meals. And I've seen her cry after that. Imagine the reputation she had in her highschool (this was circa 2010, so social networks already existed but no smartphone in the area).

If we cannot take care of our children half-decently, everybody, even those with atrophic empathy, should care.

The fact that we do not is a stain on humanity.

They tried this one of my client's office too, but the middle-management all stood firm that if they and their teams (I'm on one of the teams) would not be returning. And to fire even one person on any of the teams would mean certain death for the company since it only has a handful of developers and everyone has 7-14 years of in built knowledge. I am the most recent consultant hired, and I was hired in 2017.

They back peddled pretty quickly and switched it to anyone within 10 miles of the office has to come back. There is only 1 person that close. He's the "office mom" and he's been in basically every day since the pandemic started.
