Oh I have a similar one. This one is first hand, I was in the room when we were debuging the issue.

We were developing a smart camera product which were counting traffic on a road. So for example a city council would install this camera somewhere on a road and it would generate statistics of how many lorries, and passenger vehicles, and motorbikes used that road.

One of our cameras exhibited a problem where it restarted every day around roughly the same time. It wasn't exactly the same second though, in fact there was a clear pattern to it. One day it would restart at 19:12:10 and the next day two second later, then again the third day two more seconds later. (not the real timestamp and i don't remember the real time deltas either, but there was a clear progression)

After much debuging we learned that the issue was that as the sun was settling some street furniture projected a shadow in front of our camera. Our software wrongly concluded that it is a vehicle and started collecting information about it for classification. But of course shadows creep a lot slower than real vehicles so it run out of memory before the "shaddow vehicle" has passed out of the frame. And once we run out of memory the system froze and then got restarted by a watchdog.

Turns out the pattern we have seen in the timestamps was caused by the angle of the sun changing which made the shadow trick our algorithm just a little bit later every day.
The product was actually announced some weeks ago - the pre-orders are now available to book.
I am not Estonian, but my mother and her parents were. They emigrated in 1948. That generation has passed but I recognize in your description some of my own attitudes and how they came from their examples. Thank you for your window into the culture.

I know that Estonia was contested at certain points for Russian and German rule. My grandfather was a lawyer, may grandmother was a teacher, and, according to family lore, they were persons of interest to the people who'd invaded and taken over. Do you have recommendations for learning more about that awful phase of history? I wouldn't bring it up, but it is connected to my maternal line's emigration to the US in 1948, so there is a curiosity on my part.

Cancerous tumours will continue to grow if any cancer cells are left - surgery is usually necessary but won't cure it. Glioblastoma are some of the most aggressive brain tumours on top of that.
Fair, but there’s already a lot of medical related alternative treatments and activities that cause people to give up on more established practices and causes real harm. Currently the laws allow for the government to stop a lot of that. I don’t like it, but don’t know a solution that would work, people are extremely vulnerable in these situations.
I've really enjoyed using Reolink + Blue Iris.
We evaluated somewhere close to 50 different design ideas (seriously) before settling on this one, and what you describe was one of those ideas.

But one of our goals was for you to be able to use Svelte's reactivity inside .js/.ts files, since that's one of the things people have been crying out for since we released Svelte 3. For that to work, reactivity has to be opt-in, not opt-out.

And that's how it _should_ be — someone reading the code should be clued into the fact that this `let` won't behave like a normal `let` in JavaScript, and it should be possible to move code between modules (and between modules and components) without worrying about whether a specific file was opted in to certain behaviour.

In other words this...

> This way, the change wouldn't break existing code

...isn't quite right — it would break _all_ your existing code that wasn't in .svelte files.

> If I'm not mistaken, the compiler allows Svelte to define its syntax to anything they want.

On this point specifically: unfortunately not. The code in a .ts file, for example, has to be valid and typecheckable. You can't insert a preprocessing step ahead of the TypeScript compiler. Again though we concluded that this is a good thing, since it means this all works with all existing ecosystem tooling.

> I find it fascinating because my use of software seems bug free in last 5-10 years.

It doesn't have to have an explicit bug in order to be shit.

There's too many instances where something is doable, but only painfully so. copy/paste over the last 10-15 years is a perfect example of something that isn't bugged but is complete shit in most software nowadays.

search is another one, how often have you been on a website where ctrl+f doesn't work right because subsequent data only loads after you scroll below the fold? no bugs, but still shit software.
Troubleshooting can be a very valuable skill.

I know a story of a certain large engineering firm, dating back to the second World War. They had a senior engineer who habitually came to work drunk and slept through meetings. Every once in a while, they'd wake him up, and he'd save them a couple of million dollars. He had a gift for finding clever solutions.

He probably would have had a better life if he'd gotten his act together. But knowing how to fix subtle issues, or how to design good processes, can be a ridiculously valuable skill.
> Vanilla, being the most popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick pickup.

This feels very contrived; who organises a supermarket like that? "Where's the ice-cream?" "Which flavour? We keep them separately, to make an anecdote work."

(Like, the moral of the story still works, but the specifics feel very dubious...)

I am from another "catholic" european country (where most people are born into catholicism), the religion, despite being rightfully irrelevant in most people's lives still has some impact on which topics people want to openly talk about.

I spent half my life in a catholic country and the other half in a protestant one — so I think I can somewhat judge the impact the religion has even on mostly unreligious people.

HashiCorp is free to make money, but to take the work on community contributors and relicense it for its own gain is the biggest scam an "open source" company can commit. HashiCorp's inability to license their software effectively is what got them into this mess. Instead of using a license like the AGPL, they left themselves open to this attack. Why would you have sympathy for a company that dug their own grave?
I think many (maybe even a majority of?) Americans consider individual freedom to be a deontological moral good. This includes freedoms of those running private businesses. The "Protected Class" rules were created because many (including some overlap with the first set of) Americans didn't like specific consequences of enforcing that moral good.

Policy in a well-functioning, pluralistic, society will necessarily have (occasionally self-contradictory) compromises because we are trying to satisfy groups of people with sometimes conflicting needs and values.

I do agree Europe is on a decline and in my opinion it is irreversible. It’s one of the reasons why I am happy to have been migrated to South-East Asia from The Netherlands.

The reason why I believe it’s irreversible is because of the power of the media. Too many people still believe the global warming narrative and are open to mass immigration. Not to mention the fact that the USA has succeeded in convincing many Europeans that Russia is to be an enemy instead of an ally.

All of this will greatly increase the cost of living for the common man while at the same time the welfare state is being destroyed. Europeans will face much hardship the next decennia and I don’t think they’ll be able to recover.

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but I’ll voice it here anyways :)
It's what the market will bear. The particular machines you were looking at are sold on the collectible nature of these specific machines - new machines, limited quantities, licensed IP, etc. You get a guy who overlaps any amount of interest in pinball and something like jurassic park, and they "have to" have it. Then you get the people who see the price and think of it as a status symbol that they can show off along side (or maybe in lieu of) their fancy watch.

Used machines in perfect working order from back when there were arcades are way cheaper.

I’m sorry for what you’re going through. I think there really should be a separate FDA category for people with a few years left to live. Still not available to the general public but something a physician should be able to recommend to terminal cases.

Have you tried directly calling or visiting the trial location and try to get in touch with the person administering these to see if you can get in that way. Alternatively if you’re rich you can commission a lab in India to make these for you. They have a lot of experience making the covid mRNA drugs so should be able to pivot relatively easily if you’re paying enough. Bharat labs made the Covax vaccine so maybe start there but I’m sure a bit of googling should bring up more labs.

You have nothing to lose man. If you’re too sick to call around I hope there is someone in your life who can. Go down swinging, contact an Indian/Chinese lab today.

I would highly doubt that brain computer interfaces will be sophisticated enough to compete with an AGI. The brain is messy and sending large amounts of information from chip to the brain in a way that can be interpreted seems impossible without something really invasive. And if the technology is monetized like most tech, your implant will cost you a monthly subscription service.
We purchased a farm many years ago that had become eroded after many years of conventional farming. In our quest to transition to regenerative practices, and things like organic, we've definitely had the realization that most people have no idea where their food comes from, or why it costs what it does.

The margins in most farming are razor thin. Our neighbors who grow conventionally spend tons on inputs like fertilizer, for a shockingly small amount of money [in return per acre]. A year of extreme weather – more and more common – throws the whole thing out the window.

People say they want organic, but then they balk at the price without realizing how much labor goes into it when you're not just spraying to control weeds (or, more shockingly, to stop growth on your food crop at just the right time).

All of that said, a lot of the negativity directed toward anyone who has the dream of growing their own food is often coming from a conventional mindset. There are alternative approaches. A few great books are "Permaculture" by Mollison, "One Straw Revolution" by Fukuoka, "Restoration Agriculture" by Shephard.

As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, it doesn't have to be all-or-nothing – you can start with some perennial herbs on your balcony. Larger scale, I'm an advocate for things like agroforestry practices, becoming more and more interested in agrivoltaics. You can go a very long way with a few dwarf fruit and nut trees, an understory of berries, and a few raised beds managed with no-dig methods.

If nothing else, you learn first-hand the challenges (and joys) of growing food, become more connected to the world that sustains us, and maybe gain a better appreciation for the people who work really hard for very thin margins to keep us all fed.
Are there any figures suggesting it will actually be "cost effective"? Neither the White House release or the AP article mentioned the budget for the program, or what employing 20,000 activists would cost.
I was a bit apprehensive reading the comments here, but reading the presented changes, I'm actually quite happy.

I built two Svelte apps. I liked using Svelte but was a bit annoyed by the aspects these changes are fixing.

The code also seems easier to write and to understand.

My feeling that the Svelte team has taste is strengthened.
As long as you're fixing and preventing the 500 in the future, this is how you build stable software.

Metrics are mostly by nature anonymous. Things measured are CPU/Mem usage, network rate. Metrics at IP/user level aren't of much value. Companies add country/device type attr. but they can be done without.

Logs can similarly be of system events only.

Yes. Signals are a wonderful mechanism, but they do come with headaches. Our goal was very much to adopt the elegant reactivity model without all the downsides, and we've approached this by making them an under-the-hood implementation detail that you don't interact with directly.
We have a countertop ice maker that gets jammed up and overloaded with ice on sunny days for a similar reason.

There's an infrared beam and sensor. When the ice tray is full, it is supposed to block the beam, and then the machine stops making ice.

On a sunny day, there's enough bright light in our kitchen to fool the sensor so it keeps making ice.

We have a random magazine that we put on top of it to make it work correctly.

This dynamic changes if they are growing produce to manufacture value added,preserves items.

If you are producing cheese, or tomato sauce, or pesto, for example, the farming activity makes a lot more sense financially. Trying to grow and sell produce is a non-starter. If you can turn it into a shelvable, in-demand, item you can diversify and greatly increase or even just capture profit that you would normally lose.

As I mentioned, diversity is key. You can just deal in one or a few crops. You have to have a range of crops and value added products distributed to a variety of markets and you need to be selling directly.

We have some ultra small farms working here in Ohio doing very well and many have been for generations. It's damn near foolish to shop Kroger for produce here. I know I don't. Not until the ice hits.

> Despite post-1990 GM cars being near peers to Japanese cars for reliability overall

American carmakers really needed that kick in the ass from Japan. Around 1990 was when my parents went from being protectionist, "buy American" to never buying another domestic car again in their lives. They were angry, angry at the reliability difference and angry knowing that domestic carmakers could have done better but instead relied on people like them to buy the flag.

Guide to searching and annotating text on maps
The irony was that the infectious disease expert checking my mom was very Chinese, both in appearance and accent.

If she (infectious disease expert) had the "western" "strong individualistic element," she might have pulled the oncologist aside and said, "look..." (If she hadn't already done that, but was merely seeing my mom so her oncologist could save face.)

The real issue is mindset and maturity. These issues happen in all cultures.
> And an engineer spent days working on the problem in person?

This is the only slightly credible bit IMO; companies sometimes do this! If you have a really weird problem in something you've sold a few million units of, you really, really want to know what that problem is, before more people start complaining.

The supermarket layout is clearly contrived to make the story work, though, and doesn't otherwise make any sense.

Like all prefunded startups we rented a crappy apt to work out of. Outside of the neighboring fire station which woke us at all hours, everything worked fine.

A month into summer, the internet started to die at around 1pm… then magically restore itself in the early evening before the tech would arrive. This went on for a solid week or more.

Eventually the provider agreed to send a tech immediately after we called. On first inspection, everything looked good. Thankfully he was diligent and found that an old pin based IC was likely expanding in the heat and every so slightly unseating itself in its socket. Properly seating it and adding some hot glue solved the issue.

Never underestimate heat dissipation in product design.

Ubiquiti, for some definition of affordable, if you want something that works out of the box.

Cheap IP CCTV cameras like Reolink, Loryta, or Amcrest, isolated in their own physical LAN (they're full of security vulnerabilities, but you can keep them isolated and not care), and combined with Frigate + HomeAssistant is pretty good too if you want to nerd out on a solution. I personally hate needing out on home computing stuff but this is the one place I chose to invest because off the shelf cloud solutions are _so bad_.

Cool news -- I liked the first edition a lot back in the 90s.
okay, i'm not sure i'd agree, but that didn't really answer the question.
Yeah, that isn't how this works. Popular things are closer to the back of the grocery store -- milk, eggs, meat, produce, higher-volume soft drinks -- in order to force you to walk past everything else to reach them.

Ice cream is not that popular, so it could reasonably be stocked near the front of the store. But all the flavors are stored together, as you'd expect.

Engineers who make house calls are also not a thing in Detroit. You might see that happen in Japan, where airline CEOs have been known to make pilgrimages to call on the families of crash victims. But I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if the car companies have ever done anything like that.
Taser Electronic Control Devices Can Cause Cardiac Arrest in Humans (2014)
Great point brought up in the comments that VM’s allow for snapshotting of entire memory state as well. So something to be aware of.
This particular thing is a matter of opinion, there are pro's and con's to each approach.

The question is what constitutes an error and should web semantics and application semantics align?

should I return a 404 on a missing record, and if I do, how can I differentiate between that and a routing error?

My point is that you're confidently stating something where both sides are neither right nor wrong, they simply value different things.
Not exactly nothing, just not ongoing compromise. TLS session keys can be pretty long-lived; I don’t know how long-lived Wireguard’s equivalent keys are, but even a relatively conservative few minutes can yield valuable traffic and metadata.

(That being said, I think having your RAM frozen to extract ephemeral secrets is firmly in the “fully hosed” threat model, and is not a realistic model for 99.9% of users to plan for.)
I'm not sure I follow what exactly you mean, if you can elaborate then I can comment upon it.
