It's going to be fun seeing people realize more and more how wasteful these technologies are. The energy requirements to run these systems are insane.
Sad you didn't see Linux as a better alternative to OSX. I credit it with making me at least 10% more productive over the twenty years I've used it, partly because it is stable and fast, but mostly because it isn't trying to sell me stuff while I work.
I’m using Windows 11 and nothing forces open Edge on my machine. Every link opens in Brave like I told it to.
Years ago I worked in a moderately large mostly open-office place. My room (with devs) housed 6. There were two open areas with around 80-100 people in open cubes, then... there was a small hallway closed off with 5 offices - the 'executive' hall.

One exec guy would turn the AC on high because there was little circulation over there. He liked it 'cool'. I was on the other side of the open area, in a small office. I'd come in in July, and the thermometer on my digital desk clock said 63f. I could not move my fingers to type efficiently because it was so cold. My fingers ached. I brought in a space heater and was chastised that I was "making a big deal out of nothing". 100+ people were consistently uncomfortable to make sure one person was comfortable. The energy waste had to have been enormous.

The days this guy was in it reminded me of working in foodservice, having to stock the walk-in cooler on delivery days. Yes, by afternoon, it was bearable, but 63f was just too cold to work effectively. Dozens of us were impacted, but the one top exec needed his comfort the 3 days a week he was in.
A literal MITM attack on by default. How that made it past legal we’ll never know.
It’s a pretty widespread coincidence. The extinction of Western Hemisphere megafauna correlates quite well with the arrival of humans. Megafauna that has survived to the present day has generally evolved in place with humans (viz, Africa and south Asia).
Thanks, I will give them a look. I have yabai installed, but I really need this machine to be stable and secure and yabai is neither.
Ive never put a dish into the washer without pre-washing it.
This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me if it’s true that pods are just water-soluble wrappers around the same detergent.

Is there a case that they’re something else?
Most "rewards" programs (including for grocery stores) are to allow payment method-based tracking.

Right now it's illegal to track users/customers based on payment method. This is more than just an upsell.

> why could the system not put the failed flight plan in a queue

Because it doesn't look at the data as a "flight plan" consisting of "way points" with "segments" along a "route" that has any internal self-consistency. It's a bag of strings and numbers that's parsed and the result passed along, if parsing is successful. If not, give up. In this case fail the entire systemand take it out of production.

Airline industry code is a pile of badly-written legacy wrappers on top of legacy wrappers. (Mostly not including actual flight software on the aircraft. Mostly). The FPRSA-R system mentioned here is not a flight plan system, it's an ETL system. It's not coded to model or work with flight plans, it's just parsing data from system A, re-encoding it for system B, and failing hard if it it can't.
The advice from that video to put powdered detergent in the prewash has been a huge improvement to our dishwashing. We now put the powder in the prewash section, but keep using tablets for the main wash just because of inertia I suppose, but it works great.
They're like iteratees, but with awkward edge cases (particularly around error handling). If you've used Conduit you'll have already had the positive experiences other comments are talking about - realising how powerful and general-purpose the abstraction is and using it for everything.
Maybe. Though people rarely write down the things that we now find most interesting.

Have a look at very old newspapers or magazines. It's almost irrelevant today who won the latest elections or what scandal happened to whom; the old ads are typically the most fascinating part.

Similarly, we have a treasure trove of old clay tablets with complaints, mundane contracts, letters by normal people etc. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-n%C4%81...

Those are much better at shining a light on how people lived, then the typical drivel about 'important' events we get in most early writing.
> how difficult is it to wash a single plate anyway, at the point I'm 'prewashing' each plate I may as well just wash it in the sink?

Wife and I came to the same conclusion. We just wash things in the sink, and use the dishwasher as an overpriced drying rack.
Actually, it is a physical requirement that erasing information generates waste heat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer%27s_principle

We're still pretty far from that limit, but unless your plan is to never erase bits, you're going to waste energy.
I appreciate that. As long as you're still hashing things out I'm willing to give it more time. I really like the small web concept. What I would like most is not even $10 unmetered, or even $2 unmetered, but simply $n per transaction, as long as you are obviously doing the work of counting them anyway.

$10 unmetered must always be a fallacy anyway. Surely I can't start up "bkwsearch" and sell searches for 3 cents each, and pay you only $10 for my million$ skin.

So I say don't even pretend.

Except really there probably needs to be both options, because some people value predictability more than any specific amount. So $10 or $20 or any number that never changes is better (for them) than paying only $2 on average but unpredictable each month.

I neither want to pay $10 for $2 worth of usage, nor soak you for $30 worth of usage while only paying $10. Even more than that I don't want to have to think about it to make sure if I choose the N tier that I'm making more or less full use of the N tier.

I appreciate that you took the time to read an individual users complaint, whatever you end up doing. Thanks.
We cannot build windmills, solar farms, and nuclear energy plants overnight. We cannot stand up new buildings and create local food supply chains overnight. I was responding to the proposal to cut oil production by 50%-75%, which would be great, but must be done gradually so that our current economic systems have time to respond, i.e. not crash.

Maybe we can announce a ban on pork, beef, plastics, TVs, consumption, etc but it should not be done overnight for the same reasons.
And some units will do the dishes in minutes :)
1. How does this really differ from debugging both services at the same time and attaching logpoints?

2. Microservices is a team separation technique, allowing different team to live in isolation, sharing only API documentation. It's the same as regular web services, except within a single organization instead of across organizations. If you happen to have access to the code (not a guarantee!), are you really going to be able to jump into a codebase you're not familiar with to start adding print lines with more expediency than other possible approaches?
Can you break this down a bit more? I've heard about making markets in relation to FTX but didn't really get the full picture.
That street's sin is not the lack of trees, but having 6 entire lanes for cars, which apparently all go in one direction. An uncrossable nightmare that only even has stores at one side!

Those nice trees take a few decades to grow, need serious pruning, will cause foundation problems next door, and increase building setbacks anyway. We also waste two entire lanes for street parking, have basically no businesses on either side anyway, and the street is still too wide. It might be urban, but it's still a car centric hellscape, just with some shade.
Actually they mean a teaspoon of a teaspoon
> I still use at least one non-chip/magstripe-only card regularly… Well, one day!

I’m 2018 I went to visit my family in Australia. Only one of my US cards had a chip but I called and got a different card to send me a chip version so I’d have two.

Got home, tried to buy a coffee and the bloke behind the counter called out to a colleague “hey, do we still have a way to pay with a chip?”

(Of course most places did, but it was on its way out)
Going back to the beginning what started this is a debate about whether trees cool cities.

I don’t think anyone (certainly not me) has intended to argue that trees can replace AC, just that they make the city around them (including indoors in many cases) much cooler than they would be without the trees
I switched to buying powder from Amazon because the local supermarket only carries pods now. Huge cost premium is right.

The same for washing machine detergent. Why anyone would pay $$$ to have water come with their detergent is beyond me.

In the same vein, antifreeze now comes "premixed" with water. Gaaaaah. I just keep looking till I find the lonely 100% antifreeze jug.
I don’t know if this happened here, but sometimes if the soap door is time released water infiltrated the chamber and it cakes up and doesn’t release properly. My observation is this happens less often with pods likely because they don’t dissolve rapidly enough.
That’s already being done, but it only reduces heating/cooling which is 15% of emissions. Also,
houses last longer than cars, so the impact of better building codes will take many decades to materialize.
I have long felt that there should be mandatory upper age limits on public office, whether elected or appointed. 65 seems right to me.

If under 35 is too young to be President, then there should be some age that is too old.
It depends on how the repayments were made. You could cute spending and/or raise taxes to run a surplus - which would depress the economy, or simply print money.

AFAIK this is just a frontend Postman replacement which also supports OpenAPI, no idea how much it differs from showing the underlying type support from OpenAPI specs tho, seems to use collections so probably accepts postman ones to import. dunno just saw the other day on show hn
Yeah, I’m thinking that I met DEK before the parent poster was born (he told me that I would be able to be his student because I wasn’t taller than him. Spoiler: I was never his student).
Better quality toilets from Toto and other well-regarded brands can do so much more, with so much less water.

You just need to be willing to spend the money on the better brand equipment.

P.S. Both of the responses include additional conceptual errors (or worse: bad faith). e.g. one can always find someone with credentials (often irrelevant, as here) on YouTube in support of one's beliefs.

And as for "If you treat it as if it's is you get the exact same result though" -- this simply isn't true -- not yet, anyway. And if it ever is true, one would need extreme justification to claim the AI isn't conscious. In any case, this has nothing to do with whether the universe is intelligent--after all, we already know that it contains intelligent creatures (surely some humans are).
CanIPhish and KnowBe4 both support GMail addons which would skip Google's in-product process for reporting, and trigger alerts immediately. Outside of avoiding the in-Gmail/native process entirely, I'm unsure if it's even _possible_ to have faster response times or coverage within Google Workspace.

Microsoft's Office365 suite on the other hand appear to have 1 minute intervals for base plan alerts: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/alert-policies

If you run an Enterprise and can't switch to O365, as a workaround without buying new tooling - I'd suggest:

Creating a custom Chrome addon for Gmail which replaces the "Report phishing" button's onClick() event to forward the email to phishing@yourcompany.com, and enforce it on all workplace devices.
The most important things is to make sure the tub is stainless steel. Not a mix, all stainless (the outer shell can be whatever) . The detergent (what really gets stuff clean) is super nasty and will eventually eat the plastic.

That being said, next look at the brand. I have a Bosch and its great, super silent. If you hear a noise, you loaded your dishes too tightly and they're banging against each other.

Whenever an employer has offered a choice of PPO or HMO, they’ve been identical in price. If HMOs are supposed to be cheaper, then I guess I’d be overpaying for the supposed benefits versus a PPO.
Then your house was built badly. But you can repair it by installing an instant water heater that goes under the sink.
I have the ASUS Zephyrus G14 and it works great. All S-states are supported and function fine.

It's Zen3, however. I would assume the Framework 13 or 16 would function equally well and are Zen4-based.
Many, arguably most, custom game engines never internalize that boilerplate. Most engine codebases are much smaller and more specialized than the AAA players, and gain nothing from splitting their build into platform-specific layers when they could just link SDL.
> That's akin to Ferrari covering their very exclusive cars with promo stickers hawking those ferrari licensed asus laptops.

No it's not, because Windows is not a "premium" or "exclusive" product, at all. It's the textbook example of a mass market product. There are (far) more Windows installations than there are cars in the world. The average Windows user is almost indistinguishable from the average human. And the monetization strategies reflect that.
Smells like typical knee jerk reaction for a product that doesn't perform to a vp's expectations. PM's asked to do something about it, and between making the product better to attract users, or implementing defaults and such to force it on them, they choose the expedient.
I've historically seen bad spectral purity results from the Chinese gear (particularly the stuff intended to be used in Part 90 Service, which was not type accepted). Because of that, I tend to avoid it.

For VHF/UHF I tend to go to surplus Part 90 gear - but I've been itching to get into HF, and some of these look like attractive options for that.
Oh wow, thanks for mentioning this! It makes me appreciate Terry Pratchett even more. I didn't know what the word meant but remembered it was used by the Discworld trolls in some capacity. Turns out it is used as an insult [0].

I’m not sure about that. I once watched an idiot roll coal across an entire state on the freeway (the rest of us drivers were not amused).

They clearly were producing >> 1000x more particulates than the rest of the vehicles I saw that day, combined.

I’d guess that one car was pumping out 1,000,000x more crap per mile than a non-modified car.
its more so the irony that the self proclaimed radically inclusive event winds up being the most insular with high barrier of entry, the socioeconomic class of people that like to pay to be uncomfortable, have the time off, and general tone deafness that comes with like “just stay an extra day no worries bro, dont come if you cant do that! so inclusive!”

irony is funny, I like burning man, we can still acknowledge the surrounding deficiencies

they could drop half of the culty principles and just focus on the art festival, city creation, and the prevalence of theme camps, and 90% of the criticism would evaporate
Ironically, dynamic works better for situations where you don't want to be using tests. i.e. prototypes/proof of concept. For long term scenarios, or if you're writing tests from the start, static might be best. If you have a hacky culture, static would be even more vital.

Most youtube videos stop at the "what", whereas his also go into the "how" and "why". Some of us are interested in answering those questions.

Learning how's and why's also gives you tools to think about future things you encounter as well. You get a greater understanding of the world.
I mean… “breathing in sulfur is bad for people’s health” is a documented issue right? Like the sulfur _is pollution_. That’s why we cared to get rid of it!
You just rephrased "issues in a code base's architecture" as "mask poorly structured code" without saying how.
I think the most pernicious part of this has been how normalized all of this is.

I grew up during 1990's air travel and it was still pretty great back then.

For a lot of the younger generation, they are so used to the disrespect from start to finish as a result of 9/11.

The good old days - in no specific order

- TSA Body Scans that used to be simple metal detectors

- Not having Disneyland-like Fast Passes, for TSA Scans (I cannot believe this is real)

- Being able to wait at the gate for people

- Not being charged insane amount of money to get mediocre services before your flight

- Extra seat room

- Flights that weren't over booked

- Actual in-flight meals

- Actual in-flight snacks

- First class that was actual first-class quality

Man I can go on. I hate flying so much now-and-days, and it KILLS me, because I try to articulate this to younger folks, and they shrug their shoulders because they're been raised in this. And the worst part is I KNOW it was better before the 90's. It's just been an absolute enshitification that has become such a disruptive force in my life when I decide I want to travel anywhere, and it's a fucking bummer.
It was terrifying enough for me in the gig I worked on that dealt with reservations and check-in, where a catastrophic failure would be someone boarding a flight when they shouldn't have. To avoid that sort of failure, the system mostly just gave up and issued the passenger what's called an "Airport Service Document": effectively a record that shows the passenger as having a seat on the flight, but unable to check-in. This allows the passenger to go to the airport and talk to an agent at the check-in desk. At that point, yes, a person gets involved, and a good agent can usually work out the problem and get the passenger on their flight, but of course that takes time.

If you've ever been a the airline desk waiting to check-in and an agent spends 10 minutes working with a passenger (passengers), it's because they got an ASD and the agent has to screw around directly in the the user-hostile SABRE interface to fix the reservation.
They reduce the load. I live in a place with hot humid summers. My block is shaded with mature oak, nut and maple trees. There’s always a breeze, and less solar energy is absorbed by blacktop.

I know it was meant as a throw-away part to the comment, but geothermal HVAC is extremely expensive.

I live in Calgary and I looked into it. $50k, which is more than 10% of the value of my house; if people are complaining about house prices right now, they will be more-so when this gets priced in.

Let me put it another way; Radon is a major problem in Canada, and any reduction is a plus. Getting radon reduction is a pittance; about $2k; however, instead of just biting the bullet and making it a mandatory part of buying and selling houses in the Praries, they leave it "to the home owner".

In short, while I agree with you, these sorts of building codes will never happen.
I had completely forgotten about RIMMs. Probably because I went out of my way to avoid them at the time - I can't really remember the details of why now though :)

One thing struck me on that review though - 128MB RAM would've been pretty low specced for a pricy dual PIII 866 workstation by late 2000. I had that much a few years earlier with a dual PII 266 in a company that wasn't exactly flush with cash. I suppose having a TNT card meant it was about as low specced as workstations got.
You're right, there are a few exceptional sites that manage to have a "timeless" look and I'd probably put McMaster in that category.
Many people also don't clean their dishwashers regularly. You need to remove the filter on the bottom and wash it clean once a month, at least.

Also, the nozzles on the spray arms can become clogged. The easiest method to clean everything is to add one of those "cleaning" tablets to a normal wash. These are just Sodium Hydroxide, which chemically converts accumulates fats and greases into soap.
Have they reversed that yet?
From the article, "That aside. LiveView lets you do a lot with a little. It has been copied by most major web framework ecosystems at this point. What they can’t copy is the BEAM runtime and as such they can’t quite get the same deal."

I recently learnt that chopping trees is not particularly a bad thing. The CO2 is already stored inside the tree. The most important thing is to ensure new trees will be growing.

I'd like to see that energy calculation. AI could write a whole book in hours or a beautiful image in seconds consuming a few hundred watts of the TPU.

It would take a human weeks/months to write a book and days/week to paint a beautiful images. Also consuming at least ~100 watts idle.
I think new ICE engines should include a $200/ton atmospheric carbon capture fee based on their expected lifetime fuel consumption. (That works out to a $2/gallon tax. I’m fine with charging it at the pump, especially if established at the same time as a universal basic income scheme).

P.S. "The idea that there is a tree of sexual reproduction that can attribute for the current variation in genetic material has been disproven."

No, it hasn't, and existence of horizontal gene transfer is not relevant to that erroneous claim.
I call them "magic batteries from the future." It is increasingly implausible that any miracle discoveries will happen anytime soon.

The difference between you and me is that I see it as a sign that we need to move on from conventional batteries. BEVs are not the answer. We should stop talking about Tesla or whomever disrupting the car industry, because in the end what advantages do they actually have? There appears to be none, and frankly they have more disadvantages than anything else.
Interesting, what do you mean by limited water supply? I grew up on pump water and it was unlimited. Hard as shit, but unlimited.
> Contrast that to the Linux desktop where you can't turn off the "it just doesn't work"

The modern Linux desktop is pretty damn usable, especially if you go with something like PopOS. It's got to be covering 99% of non-workstation-type of use cases out of the box.
