I do make my house a few degrees colder and charge batteries every time I get an emergency message from ERCOT this summer. Part of it is simply tragedy of the commons - I'm 10^-6% of the regional grid usage and have little individual effect on the grid, but will suffer more if I don't get mine while I can. Think about whether you want to discourage honesty before you downvote. I've made my house extra well insulated with efficient zoned AC units otherwise, so I'm not an energy abuser in general.

I have an rational distrust of ERCOT's grid management given my experience of freezing for a week in 2021. What's more the current situation is entirely preventable(who could predict summer in TX would be hot?!) so I rebel at suffering to compensate for ERCOT's negligence and corruption.
What the hell, now rename the website as GitTok lmao
The last couple years of evidence suggests that keeping the grid up requires a certain amount of central planning. On one hand, the frequency must remain relatively stable, globally. On the other, consumers don't want to deal with every fluctuation of the price (as they found out when they were exposed to the spike prices during spring '21). On principle, Texas is going to make sure that the energy sector is taken care of financially, so we end up in the situation we're in: Advertise the grid as market-purely as you can, engage in just enough planning to keep it up and the money flowing.

> I want something keyboard driven and command focused rather than UI element focused.

I think we are in more agreement than you might suspect. Command-driven operation is how I tell a good UI from a poor UI. Good interfaces are intuitive for beginners and provide a smooth learning curve to mastery. Good way to get there is for the interface to remain simple and consistent on the surface, but unravel more specialized power as you dig in, and ultimately allow full customization.

It's all the things that make macOS UI so good IMHO: apps look and work similarly at the surface, have consistent keyboard shortcuts, you get excellent feature discoverability through the top bar menu + search box, and you can even rebind any menu item to a custom shortcut (both per-app and system-wide) through the stock Settings app. Pitch that against your typical selection of TUI apps: vi, less, top, screen, tmux, irssi, mutt, etc all do things differently, the *only* thing they have in common is a grid of character cells.

Terminal emulators themselves unfortunately seem to be the anti-thesis of good UI. The ecosystem is highly fragmented. Writing a TUI app from scratch (yes I wrote my own TUI text editor) is hell, if you want to aim at more than the lowest common denominator, while ensuring portability (I'm talking just Linux+BSD+Mac; I wouldn't even know where to start with Windows). Even if you chose not to waste your life and started with Termbox or heck even ncurses, you'll still be fighting a dragon at the end of every dungeon level: keybindings (why can't I do ctrl+shift+a!?), colors (crap it ended up being black on black!), etc.

> From elsewhere on the site, it seems like they're trying to target people who would like to write GUIs, but find writing GUIs too hard, and that the TUI part is just a starting point.

I haven't looked at the framework yet (TL;DR...), but that seems like a goal that I could get behind. Writing a good GUI app nowadays means you have to learn and use platform-specific APIs, and cross-compiling is a massive pain.

Beeware (https://beeware.org/) is working on something pretty good in that direction. I encourage everyone to have a good look at it.

"but as a user I appreciate Apple for taking a stand to make sure your 'right' to get my attention"

I'll just let you read your own comment, and reflect whether they do this out of self-interest (as Apple claims their right to decide on what your attention should be focused on)

... or is it because they are a very innocent company with positive intent.

If you are still unsure, after reflecting on that, please search for old Steve Jobs emails leaked and you'll know what are their true intentions (maximizing shareholder value, their revenues AKA not your attention. I invest in Apple, but I don't drink the kool-aid).

You seem to forget that some businesses exist before VC funding.

Arduino started out as an open-source project, with further development funded by the sale of physical hardware. They did not need tens of millions of VC funding for that, and they independently developed the "cool stuff" people here care about. Unlike most startups seen here, they were not selling stuff at a loss in the hope of conquering the world and somewhere along the way hopefully figuring out a way to make money. Arduino could've probably continued doing this for decades, but instead they stagnated and were leapfrogged by their competitors.

They only need to raise VC funding in order to expand into new markets because they want to pivot towards "professional engineers with enterprise-scale applications".

Who says we have free will? I think the jury is out on that one.

The sheer number of interactions in our environment per femtosecond is astounding. They're dynamical inputs into our brain that compound over time. It's certainly enough to approximate "free will" at our level of detection.

How do you edit a NeRF? Let's say I want to change material of an object in the scene, or rotate part of it, or compose several into a new scene, etc. Or animate it. It's not really a good representation of a 3D scene IMO, unless all you care about is novel view synthesis, which is what it was designed to do.

Transforming it to a mesh or SDF is cheating, then it's no longer a NeRF and of course the same cons doesn't apply anymore.
>no one actually wants to be on such a forum

That's not true; 4chan's always had a pretty decent number of users for an internet forum. GAB's one of the largest Mastodon instances. The only sense in which "No one" wants to use an unmoderated forum is the sense where you don't consider people with different views from yourself to be people.

I'm well aware of what's said in that link.

But I thought we were discussing reality, and not whatever weird fiction you've imagined about those things. That was lip service to the idea, little more. Do you prefer Standard Oil, or Ma Bell where they broke up the national monopoly into a bunch of regional ones with no competition?
That's the way I generally understand ownership to work in this context.

I should have the authority to make decisions about how to execute a project I'm given (or take) responsibility of.

In the context of "Servant Leadership," how well I execute the task should inform my manager's response. If it is not done correctly/well, I should get the feedback needed to ensure I don't repeat those mistakes. Future work assignments should be adjusted based on how "wrong" my work was. Maybe the project was too complex, and I should be given a more limited scope for the next one, or maybe being shown the corrections is sufficient to trust me with the same level of work next time.
And I could immediately see issues with its design, from cross-platform support to ease of configuration.

It's not wise to accept broken tools just because they persist, that's just mindless conservatism
People write this sort of thing a lot, and I don't really understand it. Simulating quantum systems is dramatically (formally speaking exponentially) more expensive than simulating classical ones (at least as far as our current understanding of complexity theory goes). If you're going to simulate a universe, and you want to cheap-out on computer power, then you should simulate a classical one.
That'd be enough to get people off it and unwind the network effects keeping people on it.

What made AOL truly great was instant messaging and chat rooms and focus on "connecting people". They had the vision totally correct, but the implementation details wrong. They should have transitioned from an ISP to a social media site.
This happened with motion pictures as well- after the initial shock of its introduction, and after its troll-ish introduction died down, many commentators of the time considered it flash-in-the-pan, tired, overdone. Through hindsight it's clear what happened: the technology needed innovators- the Murnaus, the Griffiths, the Disneys- to imagine the possibilities and move the tech forward.
Umm... actually, it's still all text / font glyphs. Basically, it works via a terminal emulator running in the browser, rendering to a canvas.
The payments are described as "credits" which I assume means they only offset future power purchases; ERCOT doesn't actually give you cash. So you do have to have some sort of machine that converts power into money to take advantage of it.

“His specialty was crypto, and he made a good thing out of not mining any. The government paid him well for every coin of crypto he did not mine. The more crypto he did not mine, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new servers to increase the amount of crypto he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not mining crypto. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend cable ties, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the admin would not be done. He invested in datacenters wisely and soon was not mining more crypto than any other man in the county. Neighbours sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counselled one and all, and everyone said “KK.”

I feel like the intended colloquial interpretation of "ownership" here is a combination of responsibility and agency. Just because you're responsible for something doesn't mean you actually have power to influence the thing. So "sense of ownership over X" is shorthand for "sense of responsibility for X plus the agency necessary to fulfill the responsibility"
> No one is suggesting killing yourself for someone else’s dream.

Nobody makes it that explicit. Managers just ask you (your team) to deliver more story points, go the extra effort to meet a deadline, etc.

And the risk of setting boundaries (saying 'no') to the implicit ask is not being viewed as a "team player", not being promoted or given a raise, or, at worst, being fired.

I am willing to take those risks. Not everyone is.

Servant leadership is great, but boy, this article is a whole lot of nothing.

"To be a good leader, you need to trust your team and listen to them!" Gee, thanks.

Maybe I'm being overly critical, but there's no insight, no analysis, no practicable takeaways at all; just a bunch of GPT-esque bullet points about how some famous people are kind of nice to their employees sometimes. Feels like crappy content marketing, but there's not even any content being marketed.
> In Canada, specifically Toronto, an average single family house in 2014 used to cost 400K. Now it’s 1.2M. Wages haven’t gone up, quality of healthcare and other services such as public transport have gone down. Meanwhile, taxes have gone up.

What's the cause, specifically? I recall reading somewhere that the current Canadian government is pursuing a "Maximum Canada" policy to grow the population through immigration, but they're not building the housing required to meet the increased demand.

If that's the cause, it's seems like it would be pretty oppressive to do what the OP is advocating for: increasing property taxes. It seems like it would just lead to people losing their homes: government policy causes home prices to rise out-of-control, then the less well-off get kicked out of their once-affordable homes because they can no-longer afford the tax bill.

VC's don't like to leave money on the table, and there's a long history of companies going back on their promises to their users in the years following accepting VC money.
It's disappointing because we know exactly what's coming afterwards: the "monetization" which will ruin something that was once great. How many times have we seen it happen? Investors want their returns, they want them now and they will make them turn the screws until all remaining value is extracted.

We may be under the roof of a VC but the site is called Hacker News. Not everyone is gonna be a fan of startups.
If you respect the open source license , you're free to use the Arduino code in products. We offer a licensing scheme for companies that want to license the hardware designs to use in proprietary products.

Same, I fully agree with that statement.
It sounds like the real problem with the deal isn’t the financial aspect but the length. 75 years is just too long without the opportunity to renegotiate or change vendors. If it had been 10 or 20 years then the city would be in a much better negotiating position.

But it sounds like 75 years was what Mayor Daley needed to make up the budget shortfall that year, so Chicago is stuck.

I discovered that my phone company had numbers in the same area code that were "medium distance". You dialed them like a local call and they were in the same area code, but they would inflate your phone bill in a hurry. It wasn't easy to figure out if a number would be in that zone either. I had to cancel my first ISP after getting the monster phone bill at the end of the month. Luckily they weren't full up long distance or it would have bankrupted me, also lucky that I only joined the ISP in the middle of the month.

The tui only really makes sense in the context of the tty terminal. I like the tui for one reason, it makes running the interface remotely via ssh effortless. Other than that they sort of suck.

Glad to see you chime in here. Just curious, is Arduino setup so that the community could takeover if you did somehow go pure enterprise and abandon hobbyists? If I recall, things are pretty open source.
> like the Wii U launching with Mario Kart 8

It wasn't a launch title, it came like a year and a half after the Wii U's launch. And even though it was pretty good, it was an exception. The Wii U really didn't have much in terms of killer apps. Nintendo was releasing some very bland stuff in the early-to-mid 2010s.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxvmrmOHRsU

Plus they botched the marketing horribly between the name "Wii U" and never showing the console itself, only the gamepad, making many consumers believe it was just a Wii accessory they didn't want.

Aligns with my extensive experience with startups, later stage venture-backed sw companies, mature public ISVs, and well-established multi-national margin-optimizing system integrators (SIs).

Most of them act (pretend) as if they are in one of the other categories, so they never have the self-knowledge required to apply the right rules to achieve success.

Indeed, ".://" is a hard error under the WHATWG URL spec. If the URL doesn't start with an ASCII alpha character, then the scheme start state transitions to the no scheme state [0]. In that state, if there's no base URL that the input is relative to, then parsing must fail [1].

However, "evil.com://good.com" is a valid URL string per WHATWG, since its state machine accepts "." within the scheme after the first codepoint. The resulting URL object has a scheme of "evil.com", a host of "good.com", an empty path, and a null port, query, and fragment.
