I paid a guy $2000 to wire the entire house with cat6 and another guy $1000 to redo the walls.

I would imagine a single room is a bit cheaper.
I'm using alder for nitrogen fixing. I don't relish dealing with locusts (some strains of honey locust have no thorns, others have some of the biggest), particularly since I don't always wear boots when out in the garden.

Unfortunately the only alder I see that's native to the SE is 'thicket forming' which probably is not the sort of hobby you're looking for.

Ceanothus is popular in these parts. There's an eastern one (Ceanothus americanus) that I have no experience with but seems to have a habit more like a hydrangea. If it's anything like it's western cousins it will be mobbed by pollinators. So maybe not by your sidewalk...

I learned recently that the pluralization of "octopus" is a linguistics rabbit hole. While most people would reach for "octopuses" or "octopi", the strictly correctest pluralization would be "octopodes" (last syllable rhyming with "these"), since the word is from ancient greek. [1]

I first heard this on a linguistics podcast called "Talk the Talk"[2] (now superseded by "Because Language"[3]). The hosts go on to clarify that language evolves over time and is most importantly defined by what people actually use, so there's nothing wrong with modern English deviating from the ancient greek pluralization.

In the early days I was excited by extensions, but through the years I've come to really accept that the most important security risk on our computers is the browser, and that it is too important to risk compromise to only the most well-known, vetted extensions: e.g. ublock origin, noscript.

It seems there should be a way to allow a lot of customizability/power to these tools without actually letting the extension send data home or even see the actual data
MacOS: Combine several PDFs using Automator. Not spectacular, but always handy

My German mobile phone provider supports that! It's really handy when traveling internationally; I usually receive my calls over SIP without incurring any roaming charges (due to using a local SIM).

In the US, Google Voice allows a conceptually similar thing (but you need to give everybody your Google Voice number or port your "real" number there; then you can forward calls to both a mobile and a SIP number, with both ringing for incoming calls).
Cool! I'm not a supabase user, but I imagine I could use this for any postgresql database. Is that true?
The first ad blocking software I ever used was literally a proxy. It would start a server on the local machine and I'd point my browser's proxy settings at it. Then it would filter URLs from a blacklist. I think the company was called AdBusters back then.

This may indeed be the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adbusters
A simple fix might be to bind the encrypted value to a PCR (hopefully one that isnt too fragile, but prefs one that measures the initrd) and then to invalidate that PCR when you drop to the recovery shell (by extending some junk bytes to it).

But if you can't find a PCR thats both not too fragile and measures the initrd, then youll have to settle for sealing the encryption key to a fairly static PCR, in which case the attacker could just boot into another OS and then do the right PCR extend dance to get the disk unlock key.

Its the combo of secure boot + disk unlock sealed to a PCR that is meant to get you most of the way there. Agree with other comments that evil-maid style hardware mod attacks are basically impossible to defend against, and practically most ppl attack model this as whether you can pull the disk key in X minutes rather than at all.

> A trademark comes with legal implications.

Those would have been satisfied by a friendly "You know, we need to keep track of uses of our trademark and see that they're in line. You keynoted our conferences, your sites are valuable for our ecosystem. How about you put a trademark notice somewhere and we call it a day?"
I love the programmatic payments. what's the key rollover story? social key recovery? IMO these are table stakes for PKI to reach the general public. There's a technology called KERI (key event receipt infrastructure) that I'm bullish on, has to do with signing new keys with the old, with witnesses, with configurable threshold cryptography (m-of-n key reconstruction)

my favorite part about that last one is the possibility of social key revocation - if you're in a community misbehaving, the same people you trust to save key fragments in case you lose your private key can conspire against you to lock you out of your account, a kind of cryptographic ban hammer.

Yes.

Although I can't tell you if that's how it was out-of-box, or if I set it up to be tear free, because... I don't remember.

But why should I?
Policies aren't always binding. There're companies which include a point about complying with the trademark policies in their terms of use, there're some which just located on their site under the name guidance.

So the right for the accused to compel testimony is…? Not a right?

I think you’ll find the constitution is rather too practically-minded for strict definitions that you’re advancing to be fully consistent in all cases. And that’s looking only at the text, not common law in which it’s wholly couched and assumes as context, or the constitutionally-endorsed and required interpretation of the document by the judiciary.

Besides, a right that demands forced labor if the government charges you… but doesn’t prohibit the government from charging you… sure looks like a right to make demands on others, if we’re not doing some hard equivocating. That it only kicks in if a certain choice is made hardly seems material to whether it’s a right that permits one to demand something of others.

And all this is beside the point of whether a particular conception of what a right is, is accurate or useful. The constitution’s framers do not appear to have held your definition as useful, which is why I thought it must have some other source.
I have a feeling there is more to the story than the two or three examples show. I also feel the same issues don't apply to the majority of cases but the article is written as if they do.

What are you talking about? eBikes and regular bikes are WAY different. They're way heavier because of battery + motor, so you need special stands and lifts, or it takes two people to manage it. All the electric components add way more complexity to maintaining the bike. It can take a 60 seconds to pull a wheel off a regular bike, but on an ebike that can to 10 minutes. The bike shops are spending more time on it.

Suits also aren't a new invention, but I wouldn't ask my bike mechanic for a bespoke suit. Most bike mechanics aren't used to working with electrical components. I wouldn't expect them to know about charging circuits, battery life, motor efficiency, etc...

What a weird rage-bait comment for HN.
It’s only possible to happen now due to birth control, so it is the first time. In the past after great deaths the mostly young population had a bunch of kids.

That’s impossible now, because the people left behind after the collapse are mostly old.

Birth control is probably a great filter.

> Imitating old architectural styles is rarely a good design

Why?

Many college campuses in the US are pastiches of medieval european towns. This admiration for older styles in the late 1800s and early 1900s gave this country (and I'd say, even the world) the most wonderful architectural environments, truly beautiful and harmonious environments.

The spiteful iconoclasm of post-WW2 instead gave us the most awful dreck.
That just defeats secure boot, it doesn't defeat TPM backed drive encryption, which only releases the key if the OS is unchanged, otherwise you could just defeat it by booting a different signed OS.
Utility scale solar can replace water intensive crops if the economics pencil out, and once operational, utility solar keeps those parcels as solar for at least 20-25 years. Agrivoltaics are of course a thing, but the ag that pairs with solar in those cases is much less water intensive.

It's a rule of software development management:

If everything is a priority... then nothing is a priority.
But, contrary to at any such developments in history, the people who are losing out aren't the "poor working class". They already have cultural and political power that they stand to lose. This might still go a lot of ways.
I'm advising a NextJS team now and acting as a liaison to a system they're integrating with. Even the devs in the NextJS code every day get confused about what's running on the server and what's running on the client and the consequences of both.

I can see the attractiveness to a setup like this. Back when I was much more involved in actually typing out code it was always a pain to switch mentally from backend side coding to front-end side coding. On the other hand, it made it easier to reason about security. Front-end was the wild west and on the backend you didn't trust anything coming in.

Another thing, i understand the supposed advantage of having one language for both backend and frontend but i don't recall that ever being a real issue with me or the teams i worked with. Everyone seemed able to shift from Javascript (and associated Javascript frameworks) to the backend language ( Java and C# in my case) without any issues.

I don't know your process or what your role entails but if you're responsible for output then you should be part of the process. We do scrum and my manager joins standup every day.

Are tickets taking longer than estimated, or are estimates higher than before?

Do you estimate as a team? You should be part of the estimation process.

If estimation is normal, the you should be finding out the first day that a given ticket is not on track. Get devs to make daily commitments and pay attention to when they are not met. What went wrong?

If you wait until the end of the estimated time and then ask why its not done, you will never get accurate answers. You have to track it more frequently than that.
Should this be covered so publicly by media outlets with no protections in place for the animals? At least don’t give out the approximate location that easily. I’m pretty sure someone going to show up to the spot with a net.
There sure was. Here is a snippet from the very first example in the html.json file:

<input type="text" id="searchQuery" name="searchQuery" placeholder="Enter name...">
<button onclick="searchEmployees()">Search</button>
</div>

<script>
function searchEmployees() {
var input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;

There's no code in the repo, but the paper says this about how the inputs were generated:

For all the selected languages except HTML, we adopt an in-depth evolution, by asking GPT-3.5 to rewrite the seed instruction (Python) into a more complicated version relevant to the target language (Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, C, C++, Java, or Go). However, for HTML, we adopt in-breadth evolution to produce a brand-new HTML-related instruction...

Hi, I'm Beecher, a friendly and experienced engineer (22 years) who can really help a team gel — I lead by example, mentor, and communicate well. Fully remote since 2018. Modern full-stack web since 2016, experience with startups, established companies, and scientific research. I took 5 years off to teach high school in China 2011-2016. I love a good startup, and I can also handle legacy situations just fine.
It's in the range of femtoamps. Current in general is not really very directly measurable, particularly for biology. Instead you do things like measuring voltage across something or magnetic fields.
The code that displays the password prompt and unlocks the disk could be replaced by a modified copy as it isn't encrypted. TPM would protect against that though.
...what rock have you been living under? https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/es/MEMO_1...

The EU investigates and metes out punitive measures to all companies that exploit their market position in the EU to prevent entry by, or to push out, competition though anti-trust practices. Whether the competition makes products that people want, or whether there even is any competition is entirely irrelevant to that, the crime is "breaking anti-trust law".

Now of course, some of those fines are no more than a slap on the wrist, but some of them are properly "you fucked up hard and your business is on the line" high. Like Google getting fined 2.5 billion dollars.

And in this case the EU is being pretty soft: Microsoft knew they were going to be hit with this order from the start, because they've already been through this several times in the past with their IE and Media Player bundling. Making the decision to not fine them is the curious part here, not the part part where the EU told them to do what they already told them to do several times in the past that they appealed, lost, and complied with.

"Well why don't they go after Facebook then?" oh, you mean https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/pl/IP_17_...?

"Okay, well, why is Apple allowed to-"? oh you mean https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/28/23618264/eu-antitrust-cas...

"Fine, but-" just stop.

If a company violates EU anti-trust law, they're going to get investigated either by individual member states, or if the violation's significant enough, by the EU itself.
Government censorship nannies from, likely, the FBI (re: Twitter Files), in their partnership with YouTube, decided that's bad and they don't want people searching for it. Turns out all this corporate censorship that's been going on, which is heckin' OK because it's just CORPORATE censorship, is government censorship too. But it's cool because it's designed to stop fascism, NOT democratic socialism.

Slava Ukrainia!
I can’t imagine anything worse for the world than an AI trained on whatever Twitter users are tweeting.
> There's no other source like that in English other than Reddit

1) Facebook Posts/Comments, 2) Instagram Posts/Comments, 3) Youtube Comments, 4) Gmail content, 5) LinkedIn Comments, 6) TikTok contents / comments

X and Reddit are definitely valuable, but they're definitely not unique. I think Meta and Google have inherent advantages because their data is not accessible to LLM competitors and they have the actual capabilities to build great LLMs.

Unless X decides to tap AI talent in China, they're going to have a REALLY hard time spinning up a competitive LLM team compared to OpenAI, Google, and Meta, which I think are the top three LLM companies in that order.
If you just need to restore older versions of a (non-text) doc and don't need to support things like diff and merge, a handy approach is to store all the steps needed to create the doc, same as you would to implement undo/redo and allow "tagging" the operation stream to create your versions.

There are a lot of ways to optimize this sort of thing in practice so it runs reasonably, but that's an exercise for the implementer.
Single mode fiber is small, easy to run, insensitive to interference, future proof and... a little bit more expensive than copper. But worth the hassle.
