Why require a backend? Presumably, that means (in the best case) you end up handling credentials for unknown http end points. In the worst case, the backend sees the data being rendered, and now you have to deal with European and California data handling compliance.

What if the device had a mode to let people connect to an API via a lan connection? That would solve all the privacy issues I just mentioned, and also improve reliability when the internet is flaky. It would also solve the e-waste problem if your backend shuts down.
It's more fundamental than that. The jewish god is just zeus stolen right out of greek mythology literally atop a mountain slinging lightning.

Exodus 20:18 - "When the people heard the thunder and the loud blast of the ram’s horn, and when they saw the flashes of lightning and the smoke billowing from the mountain, they stood at a distance, trembling with fear."

The twelve olympians from greek myth became the twelve tribes of israel with became the twelve disciples of christ.

Noah's flood comes from the flood of gilgamesh.

It's all stolen and reimagined myth.
I stopped reading it because the premise is entirely unbelievable. A mass casualty event of pretty much any size would not lead us to do anything about climate change.

For evidence, look at the deaths in the USA from gives and cars every year. Yet there is zero momentum toward doing anything about those from a policy standpoint.
While true, this hasn't changed the fact that you can still weld plastic gas tanks.
The 2020 poverty line for 2 people was 17,240.

The 2020 salary for E-1 was 1,732.94/month or 20,795.28.

This doesn't take into account any housing or other additional allowances.

Sorry, I don't see how a veteran spent their career in the military below the poverty line.

Also, consider there hasn't been a draft for 50 years. No one has forced anyone to take military pay.
Indigenous Australians and other cultures have more than four seasons as well, and for the former it depends on where you live on the continent also. https://www.csiro.au/en/research/indigenous-science/Indigeno...

For anyone who has been to Darwin and also to Melbourne, you totally get why. Melbourne says "what a chilly winter" while Darwin says, what winter? Melbournites look forward to it drying out near Jan, and Darwin prepares for monsoon season. Perhaps an equivalent is being to Whistler and to Miami. Same continent, different seasons.

All that is just really to say, it's fun to be in tune with your local climate, and for most people, the 4 seasons are kind of a convenience but not that accurate.
I think you are perhaps reading too much into the phrasing. If they had said "... providing guidance on when individuals should be hospitalized...", I would not take that as assuming hospitalization either.
I don't even think that would change people's minds. They'll just call it fake news and blame it on someone's laptop.
There is always an 'orchestration' middleware in some form, you just can't avoid it. The key is if the benefit it gives overcomes the complexity it introduces.
Point is, McDonald's wouldn't do that for long. They don't have that big margins.

Google's shareholders might, for a while, for the sake of "control". But either way, it's not sustainable. The anti-adblockers are right about that part. They're just wrong that watching ads without spending a ton of money on the products help matters.

I have a 2600 with a ton of cartridges. The cost of hooking it up to a HDMI TV set or monitor is expensive. It would be more cost effective to buy the 2600+ and play my 2600 carts on it.

I used to restore 2600 systems, usually they need cleaning because of all the dirt and dust on the connectors and cartridge's strips.

Was it a major version upgrade? Postgres WAL replication is a physical replication stream which doesn't work across major versions. I don't know much about RDS Postgres but I'd assume this is the reason. Logical replication can solve this, but has some important limitations (e.g. no replication of DDL), so it's understandable that RDS can't leverage this generically and automatically.

I would expect that RDS MySQL doesn't have this problem since MySQL's built-in replication is logical rather than physical.
Takeaways:

* AI does best on images it's seen before. We know AI is good at memorizing stuff; it might even be that some of the images in the examples and benchmarks are in the training datasets these algorithms used. Giraffe With No Spots may be especially difficult not only because the giraffe is unusual, but because it's new to the internet.

* AI tends to sand away the unusual. It's trained to answer with the most likely answer to your question, which is not necessarily the most correct answer.

* The papers and demonstration sites are showcasing their best work. Whereas I am zeroing in on their worst work, because it's entertaining and because it's a cautionary tale about putting too much faith in AI image recognition.

The first and last points are basically how much of advertising and related things work. It is opposed to how science should work, but of course there's publication bias and so on. It's not how popular science should work, but in fact it is almost entirely how popular science journalism works (looking at you, LK-99, Cold Fusion, and Hot Fusion, too, and many others).

BTW the first point above is also known as 'data leaks', which is when you feed your software a multiplication table with single-digit numbers and then all you do is ask for the result of 4x5, 6x2 and so on. You then go and publish a well-received paper, "Now Computers can MULTIPLY!" where MULTIPLY is a fun acronym, and don't forget the exclamation mark. You did forget to mention that in the end, your software is, statistically speaking, incapable of multiplying any numbers, and we're not even talking rationals here.

Or she could have just gotten Covid-19. First laboratory confirmed Covid-19 case was in Washington state on January 18, 2020. Oregon's not too far away from Washington.

Also there was likely cases floating around in the US before then, that was just the first confirmed case.

According to this timeline on the CDC website[1], there was reports of presumptive cases of Covid-19 in Oregon on February 28, 2020 as well. That's close enough to your timeline that I think it's more likely she just got Covid-19 (or a particularly bad case of the flu).

Unfortunately, anything that's powerful enough to simplify complex configuration is also powerful enough to accidentally make fatal errors.
Agreed. And iMessage actually has the sender client generate the link preview and bundles that with the message. This sounds weird, but with end-to-end encrypted conversations, it's basically that or have it generated by the recipient.

(or have one of the receiving client send it to a service out-of-band, but that "defeats" the end-to-end encryption.)
It's mostly just a lack of willingness to spend on large casting machines. Tesla is famous for purchasing the largest presses: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giga_Press

Tesla is partly empowered to do this because electric vehicles are mechanically simpler than ICEs, and the batteries themselves also are made to be structural components. There's nothing fundamentally unsound about pressed aluminum.
I tried to read his book about oumuamua. It was borderline impossible. Two thirds of the book were about him and his accomplishments. I gave up halfway there. I didn't gain any insights about the object itself more than what I could read in an article or a blog post. How is this guy considered an expert is beyond me.
Because of better treatments? or has it really just been the AIDS virus evolving?
Yes, most digital use-cases are covered by FPGAs. But I think there's still a potential market for custom mixed-signal ASICs, and maybe also for defense and space applications where unusual environmental requirements matter more than cost.
Probably safer to get a cheap CT scan done in Mexico if you are worried about parasites inside your skull than to take dewormers. That said, Ivermectin is a very safe medication that you can try with minimal side effects.
Careful there, past infections also do not prevent infection. There is no sterilizing path for corona viruses, at the moment.
You're right. It's just most of the time these sort of claims are so distant. I just find it interesting to have been proximate to the places mentioned. That's all.
You can run the software with BSL. You simply need to run it in non-production.

A totally different restriction, yes, but a restriction that goes against OPs “no restriction to run” clause none the less.
Yeah except the piece started with:

> My software developer colleagues often ask me where I do get all the time for reading all the tech books or articles, watching conference talks and listening to podcasts.

They're not talking about learning about woodworking on the side, or learning about tech for fun. They specifically situated the piece in the world of work right at the start, going so far as to present themselves as some kind of mysterious marvel that their co-workers have tried to unravel.

This is just another tech productivity hacking piece. Good ol' workaholic porn, in the same vein as "Wanna get hired? Start a dozen side projects!" or "Hack leetcode in your remaining waking hours for fun and profit, except without the fun!"

It's a trope at this point, and an unhealthy one.
When Walmart does it, as they're getting unionized, its obvious.

This is why ideally, this is supposed to have a few judges look at the realities of the case and the various (yes, including circumstantial) evidence to make a determination here.

The rules are don't try to get out of having a unionized employee base using _business tactics_. The example you gave is obvious that its not anti-union.

Yeah shoddy service that is. A colleague has model S, in Switzerland, when going for some service checks they kept him there, in the middle of nowhere without any good public transport for half a day without any warning during work day, he was furious.

Every single crappy dealer/official service here will give you a replacement car to not mess up your life for just stupid car checks, whatever basic car is fine. Tesla no, fuck off we don't care, wait.
I really do like this conception of things.

It's a lame truism but "life is what you make of it." At first everything is new, mere existence is the act of discovery and growth. As you age more you must have more intention behind your actions.

Learn topics you understand on a surface level more deeply, invest more in relationships and in truly understanding relatives and partners, push yourself physically in directions you hadn't considered.

There are still a lot of ways to continue to grow, even as the novelty of existence wears off and your body begins to age.

Are these parts being made with the gigapress? or is this older casting methods?
Hate to agree but yeah. We've already seen a number of deadly heat waves in Europe.

In 2003, 70,000 people died in the EU from a heat wave [1]. A fact that is never really comes up in talks about climate change.

The death toll could be millions and we'd still see deniers clamoring that we need to burn more coal for grid stability or whatever.

This is easy to say in hindsight. You would be singing a far different tune had the initial numbers turned out to be worse, or had one of the mutations led to far more severe risk.

When dealing with the unknown at "global pandemic" scale, it seems better to be safe than sorry, given that you're potentially juggling millions of lives.
I'm not sure exactly where the term comes from, but I've seen people use it to refer to doing the same thing on Linux, too. (IIRC, the code segments for protected mode and long mode also happen to be the same on Windows and Linux. Not sure why exactly.)
Isn't the industry standard 3 years?

At least that's when you can begin getting that title.
All life is a trade-off. There has been massive effort at reducing traffic fatalities, representing probably trillions of dollars of investment, including road design and barriers, speed limits, signaling, car safety features like crumple zones, seat belts, air bags, all manner of crash safety testing, enforcement actions, and much more.

We haven't entirely banned cars, and carbon emissions weren't totally banned after the wet-bulb event in Ministry for the Future.
I think it's technically just the build tools too, not all of visual studio or anything like that. https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools used to be an option for downloading them with relatively little pain. Looks like it should be unnecessary now, though.

That's pedantic. They're sold that way by the truck load and anybody that buys them for DIY purposes knows that this is how they are designated. People are buying based on the working voltage nominally 3.6V, Lithium Ion chemistry, battery capacity, form factor. Not on the internal details of the battery, which are not normally listed in sales documentation on consumer oriented outlets anyway.

Yes, you can go into the details of the exact chemistry, the packaging, the manufacturers specs and so on but for bulk DIY purposes this is the reality. The detailed chemistry obviously has some implications for safety but because you will have no idea what is in a pack unless you open it (and plenty of times the cells are unmarked) you just have to assume the worst. That's the safest.
Ah, makes sense!

That said, it doesn't seem to be that big a deal then. It would be better for BD to build their own, but Jharkhand's electric grid has always been closely connected with Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan because it's always been an electricity export market due to cheap coal and (before de-industrialization) a large manufacturing base.

I'm going to steer clear from Al Jazeera reporting simply because there is some Gulf rivalry going on there (eg. MBZ of Abu Dhabi has a significant voting share in Adani) because Qatar got frozen out of the Indian market by the UAE and KSA.
I guess it depends on the field. What I experienced in climate & weather prediction was by and large Fortran 90 codebases.
Your attitude comes off as dismissive and condescending while gaslighting a perfectly valid criticism.
Why not recognize that the commentor is providing feedback, even if not directly, and is delivering it in a forum context which we (HN visitors) actually read?
The notion that every bit of feedback like this shoud be replaced with a FOSS contribution is profoundly entitled on your part.
>Do you think companies read Cal Newports blog and are like "gee I guess building a new twitter clone exactly like it is could lead to increased world negativity... better not do it"

Well, yes, that's his intent: to influence people by presenting his opinion.
> stop price-gouging the consumers on the packs

Are their margins even that high? It looks like a Bosch 400Wh pack is ~$650 which is not super far off the cost per joule of cordless tool battery packs.
Being "in the market" it wasn't until thr new crop of Hyundai EVs came out that there was anything approaching the Tesla in the car-design feature set. Sure you could buy a Prius, but I always felt like the Prius was designed to be ugly and awkward to drive specifically so it wouldn't hurt Toyotas billions of dollars of ICE sales.
yes this is gigapress
I think "can" is being used in the sense of "may". "You don't own something if you may not repair it". I don't possess the skills to work on my house's circuit box, but the only thing stopping me from trying is that knowledge.
It is generally true that any lecture by a Nobel laureate or a professor very late in their career is for the most part useless. Best case scenario you get a rehash of decades old research you can glean from your review. Worst case is you get what you mentioned.
Then we should be outlawing the act of messing with a battery pack in an environment that cannot handle a disaster. Giving companies a pass to make non-repairable junk and/or charge an arm and a leg to repair or replace components is completely unnecessary and contrary to what a healthy society needs.
On the other hand, Pycharm will show an error if you replace the pass keyword with any statement. Seems like a deliberate behavior - it declines to typecheck a stub.
Building or repairing a multi-cell battery pack with multiple cells is on par with doing a motor swap on an ICE car.

I created the ebike subreddit and have been part of the community for 10+ years. I've had a lead acid battery blow up in my face. I've fucked up and had to run out the front door and yeet a 18650 out on yard before it popped. Yeah, yeah yeah, maybe I'm unlucky or maybe I'm incompetent, but I wasn't a noob in either of these cases.

I believe in ebikes as a valid alternative to cars and a wonderful thing overall. It would be an ecological disaster if apartments started banning ebikes or the government started to heavily regulate them. And if we're not careful, that's where we might end up.

That's an exceptionally poor quality casting, Tesla clearly has a QC problem.
As much as nuclear construction projects are famous for going over budget, decommissioning projects frequently seem to end up ahead of schedule and under budget. That is, decommissioning is not such a problem to fear, even in complicated cases like TMI (they chopped up the melted core and took it away although they are waiting for the dirty water in the basement to decay) and Dounreay.
Fortran is simple enough to be used by dumb physicists. At its core it is a standard imperative language, like C with a lot less footguns and much more user-friendly. Its object-oriented parts have some strange syntax, but are otherwise unsurprising. There isn’t any step like when starting something like Lisp or Haskell.

It would definitely not take years to get on top of it for anyone who knows a bit of programming.

I'm planning to build a multiplatform application (web, mobile, and desktop) with a modern tech stack.

I've decided on the following frontend tech stack:

- Web: Next.js, Tailwind CSS
- Mobile
- Android: Jetpack Compose
- iOS: SwiftUI
- Desktop
- Windows: WinUI 3
- MacOS: SwiftUI
- Linux: Qt

But I'm still unsure about choosing a backend. What backend do you think is the best right now?

> My feeling during the read, and my definite conclusion afterwards, is that I didn't read a collection of new nice additions to the language, but a list of minefields and new fancy ways to crash your program.

I don't think that's a reasonable take on both the book and C++11/c++14. `Effective Modern C++` is not an intro tutorial, but a book dedicated to trivial and nontrivial gotchas, none of which leads your program to crash. Worst case scenario you just get a compiler error of your own doing, and that's it. I mean, the book covers stuff like the importance of using nullptr instead of NULL, why braced initialization is nice, why and how smart pointers should be used to implement a pimpl, etc. This is hardly mine field territory, and it makes absolutely no sense at all to use these tidbits of all things to justify switching to an entirely new programming language.
