So if all goes well, it will be built by 2033. Their nuclear plants are part of the plan since 2018, so that will be 15 years if all goes well until the first goes online and reduces the amount of coal they use (and they use a lot). If the goal is fast decarbonization, this is a bad investment.
I can't see the article... But all I can think of is the south park episode with the exploding basketball player knees
> He has said all of his interactions were consensual and the accuser says this too.

He has multiple accusers with different issues (some of which are crimes and some not), the TV show covered:

- Having immediate sex with a woman he was dating as soon as she entered his house (the woman says was not consensual)

- Chasing a staff member around naked (staff member says this was sexual harassment)

- Legally dating a 16 year old (consensual but the TV show discusses the power imbalance)

- Various unremarkable things like using staff to get audience member's numbers.

There may be more and I may have gotten it wrong, I didn't memorise the TV program. Feel free to correct.
The Content First UX Revolution
Meet Punkt
⸺
Your All-In-One UX Writing & Content Design Platform.

As we stand at the precipice of a new digital era, this manifesto sheds light on the profound changes in how we interact, consume, and perceive content. It's not just about aesthetics or functionality anymore; it's about crafting an experience that feels intuitive, meaningful, and, most importantly, human-centric. If you are passionate about the future of design and how we communicate in this digital age, the Punkt Manifesto is essential reading.

Join the movement; let's revolutionize UX together.
What do you mean? The Linux kernel isn't licensed under the LGPL.
Streaming just came full cycle to traditional TV broadcasting. An impressive feat of disrupting an industry right there.
I really like enums in Rust. It's one of the features that makes me want to use it. I kind of wish Go had Rust like enums built into the language
Unlike domestic flights, international flights are often priced as essentially round-trip only. In the sense that buying one-way is almost as expensive as round-trip.

I haven't yet figured out what the exact logic is behind this and when it applies; it's just been my personal experience.
What are some examples of searches that you do? I guess I am just surprised at how often people search using a general search engine.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that no one using this term is referring to the historical stages of capitalism over the last five centuries. As I said, it’s more of a “I want this thing to happen, therefore my model of reality is that it will happen” phenomenon.
Bury the schoolbus as a fallout shelter!

Thats correct. The disagreement with my comment shows people read what they wanted into what I said.

Contracting means a different set of rules for hiring and paying. As someone else said they should not have even posted it like this.
Cars during tests on dynamometer have to have a big fan blowing constantly on radiator. If you provide a big enough fan, you can run it as long as you want, even with big load. I was once doing 140km/h on autobahn uphill with fully loaded passenger car with additional fully loaded roof trailer. The car managed half an hour of fully open throttle without any problems, but If your home needs to use 40kW for more than a hour, maybe investing in proper generator is a better solution. In typical applications, engine will not be running at full power.
Are the current replacement costs for batteries of 8-10 year old cars 1/4 of the cost that they used to be? The part costs for replacing batteries on 2014 Teslas or Leafs seem to be far more than that (https://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/ev-battery-replac...).

Try reading it again, maybe twice or more, and figuring out what is meant.
You forgot the cost of Y hours your developers could have spent on A.

This is the actual, non-cynical driver for many of these decisions. An exec is looking at devoting developer time to building or curating software that isn't part of the core competency of the business, and balancing it against staffing product development or IT aimed at the business's specialization.

To make avoidance of E palatable, you have to show that use of O will not only cost significantly less that E, but that using it will also make up for the lost time that you would have spent building A.

I say this as someone who constantly has to justify why we don't just grab some SaaS offering off the shelf and groom it * cough * um... integrate it, rather than continuing investment in the purpose-built "commodity" my team runs.
As an AWS customer I want to escape IP entirely. It's a waste of time managing these complex networking systems with their archaic protocols (IP, BGP, DNS, etc)

Just let me strongly associate identities with my workloads and apply policy indicating which workloads should be able to send data with which other workloads.

How data gets from one workload to another should not even be my concern, just make it happen.
Does anyone know of any studies on the long term health of children who go through programs like this? I see this sentiment a lot, and can even think of annecdotes of people this describes in my own life, but haven't seen much attempt at quantifying it.

A quick search is just showing studies on sports participation and children's health while they are still children (which seems to be resoundingly positive).
lol you just gamed it with an edge case where the most likely completion is incorrect and you're proving my point that the simple case doesn't need RAG but weird complex edge cases do.

Switch Lite is almost Vita sized. It would be nice if Nintendo made a Switch Micro that was a smidge smaller but considering the Lite already has issues with the screen being too small an even smaller device may be out of the question.
Consider the late Roman Empire. The Roman Empire had a beginning, and then an end, and the "late" part was the part that was closer to the end. That's the normal meaning of the word "late".

So "late stage capitalism" means - or at least implies - that it's the form capitalism takes before capitalism finally ends. It shouldn't be used for a form that capitalism repeatedly cycles into and out of.

If you wanted to use a different term to describe this phase - "monopolistic phase capitalism" or something - then that would be fine. "Late stage", though, gives an illusion of linear movement through a definite time period, which historically has proven to be an incorrect view.
1. I didn't suggest "outright ignoring reality"

2. Yes, violent conflicts are increasing. That does not mean we are not living in historically the most peaceful times. This is indeed a case of statistics, while not outright lying, being selectively singled out to present a narrative. How many people are dying in these violent conflicts? How many people are being displaced? Child mortality, war crimes being committed, lasting negative economic impact, negative impact on international relations, etc, etc, etc, are all factors in whether or not the world is becoming more peaceful or not, and the overwhelming majority of those factors are improving.

3. "things are better than ever and always getting better is also not a fact as you say." - I challenge you, in your own time, to disprove that statement. That exercise does wonders for a persons outlook on life.

Exactly this. When you have a marina with one boat lived in who is discreet, nobody cares.

When it becomes well known and now you have houseboats that look like trailer park rejects, the marinas start cracking down.
I'd say there's enough software developers that enjoy doing the latter. It's mostly the external motivation (both in community standing and in payments) that push people to shiny new things.
I used to believe that TV channels were there to offer entertainment, news, education, and to fund this they had advertisements.

Today it is clear that these are businesses that are there to make profit, and the "content" is only there to spread the advertisements apart.

I was catching-up to the Coffeezilla's videos, and it looks like the scammers-be-scamming. And some people will try their 'luck' with anything fringe-y (forex, NFTs, crypto, AI, etc.)
I can barely find something to watch on Prime which is why I only subscribe like 1 month a year, and for that month I spend maybe 8 total hours watching.

Maybe if Amazon made better content, then they could get more revenue.
Exactly. These cost comparisons are way off.

For those new to the boating world, a slip is just a space to park your boat on a dock. You would then need to, k'know, have a boat to live on.
Unfortunately, everyone who provides these big feeds (Reddit, Twitter, et al.) don't like that their content is being filtered by third parties and clients. Because they want to keep their users on their platform as long as possible, and their algorithms are designed for it. So they actively make it very difficult to do so, by banning these clients.

On Instagram, you can't even fast forward videos because of that. They want you to watch them fully.

We really need clients for "feed of feeds", but how can we do that if we don't have access to the feeds? The browser could be a solution, but pages needs to be filtered based on the source code of the page, individually.

Thanks for checking! This result is too verbose (first two sentences mean the same, but also aren't needed since you already see no results), and then instead of the "check your spelling" it should just, you know, check my spelling :) and show an active link to the quoted query with typos corrected

And the suggestion shouldn't only show when you've found nothing, it should be a basic spellcheck correction suggestion - since the web also has misspelled words you might not even notice the mistake since you see some results and think it's ok
They're likely building a nuclear plant for the same reasons as Iran. The geopolitical situation Poland is in has changed, as has its long term fears.

Theyre certainly not doing it for economic reasons (5x the cost of solar or wind) or for the environment. They burn more coal per capita than anybody else in the EU and will likely continue to do so for the 15 or so years until this project is completed, while solar and wind farms take 1-3 years to build, pumped storage ~10.

Then that life is already insufferable in my view. As a non-drinker, I would focus on fixing some of the root causes versus trying to dull my misery.

The fact one chooses to imbibe instead is not the thing bringing you joy, it’s escapism. So the fact you would conflate that to others that are content and have no need to escape is ass backwards logic.

If the criticism was phased as, “a drink really helps me unwind after a stressful day/week” I’d get it. But it’s usually projected outwards as “you must be boring/miserable for not drinking”. That’s the rub.
Conbee 2 works great, much better range than what the other dongles have. The software bundled with it is also decent and quick to get started with. It got REST API too for external integration.

Of course you're free to use any software with it.

I kind of consider algebraic data types (the combination of this style of enum (sum types) and structs (product types)) paired with pattern matching as the core feature set that any modern language must support. It makes for really simple, easy to follow code that’s much less error prone than the alternatives.
I didn't make 'esrun' but love it. It's much better than node-ts and tsx:

- no tsconfig

- no package.json changes

- top level await just works (no IIFE wrappers)
Of course they do. Toyota inserts itself between me and my need to go places.
These articles are all so great! I loved reading the ones on the SNES and GBA. My dream is to work on the software that powers these video game systems, but I’m entirely lacking in that domain. One day, I would love to work on a portable console. It’s really helpful to read, so a huge thanks to the author.
My understanding of all DH based encrypted communication protocols is that they rely on some external authentication mechanism to ensure the public key of your counterparty is actually the right person. Is that correct?

In other words, if my friend is on the other side of the world and we can only communicate digitally, I need to bootstrap trust in a public key somehow and that is always outside these protocols. This is specifically called out here in section 4.1 and I'm pretty sure this is just a fundamental reality but I wanted to see if anyone had pointers to either a general proof of this or some kind of alternative.
Sure that'd work for the example I gave but it's still kinda along the lines of using raw SQL with user input and just making sure it can't use DELETE/UPDATE at the start of the query.

The fan in cars is typically not enough to keep it cool while stationary under load, but in typical home applications you won't have that big load anyway. Big load for a car is >10kW. You can also pretty cheaply get a bigger external fan, like those used on dynamometers.

One nice side effect of using car as generator - free heat in winter if you extend cooling loop to your home.
This is mitigated with OpenADR and V2G technology. Consumers can set when they charge (or discharge) based on utility incentives. So its not like everyone goes home and charges their car at the same time..
It's less about what and more about where. For example, in European countries Amazon pricing and (often) return policies are distinctly better than most.
The term means to imply the worst effects of capitalism, such that there can be no “later” stage of capitalism with worse (new kinds of) effects. Basically, it implies the “end game” of capitalism.
enshittification?
That last one is a big caveat and a major reason I'm not interested in Flutter.
Your car engine can typically deliver 150 horse power to the wheels, but after 6 seconds of that you are at freeway speeds and then your engine is only delivering about 25 horsepower. A cars cooling system is designed around that and the case where you need all 150 horsepower for 5 seconds, then drive for 30 seconds at 20 horse power before slamming on the brakes (6 horsepower to run the AC) for the next red light where you wait for 10 seconds (again 6 horse power for the AC).

Cooling from running down the freeway is easy to replace with a bigger fan. However the radiator itself is not large enough to get all the power the engine is capable of. (I also didn't watch the video, but I'm guessing the donor generator had a 12 horsepower engine so the radiator should be more than good enough). Of course there are other trade offs - many mechanics have a sign "speed costs money, how fast do you want to go", this sign isn't referring to the initial cost to tune the engine for max power, it is referring to max power means your engine needs a full rebuild every 20 hours of operation.

Is piracy on the rise? That seems like a difficult thing to reliably track.
You need a streaming aggregator for the cycle to be complete.
> Most likely your engine also needs a computer, which implies an electrical system.

Old diesel clunkers not really, at least if you don't care about emissions control. Fuel injection / exhaust valve control is purely mechanical, all they need electricity for is the engine starter and, depending on age, the cooling fan.

Modern engines, on the other hand, these can be really hard to run on their own outside of a car, at least from hearsay - I only have had experience with an 1994 VW T4 van.
It's a neat idea but I wouldn't put this in my k8s cluster.

Keep it simple st*pid!
While your sentiment is valid, this is the type of argument people make on low code solutions. Which has never worked in reality and never will. There's just too much nuance and detail that needs to be considered when you have to do and optimize real workloads.
> The browser is so comprehensive in functionality and APIs

Not really. If you limit your scope by saying that you're building a hypertext document viewer, it suddenly becomes approachable. A lot of the functionality is all that PWA stuff no one asked for and no one is using for anything good anyway.

WebSQL? IndexedDB? Service workers? WebGL? WebGPU? WebBluetooth? WebRTC? Just act like it all doesn't exist. 99% of actual websites — not web "apps" — would not lose any functionality.
Hasn’t this been a constant in human history? People will try to take shortcuts. For example, there is the age old profession of quack doctors. In the short term, these people will sometimes do relatively well, but often not in the long term.

I once consulted at a company with a very large monolithic SQL Server. It actually wasn't Postgres but let's pretend it was.

It had been around for decades and over time it had ended up being used for all sorts of things within the company. In fact, it was more or less true that every application and business process within the whole company stored its data within this database.

A key issue we had was that because this database had many different applications that queried it, and there were a huge number of processes and procedures that inserted or updated data within it, sometimes queries would break due to upstream insert/update processes being amended or new ones added that broke application-level invariants -- or when a normal process operated differently when there was bad data.

It was very difficult to work out what had happened because often everything that you looked at was written a decade before you and the employees had long since left the company.

Would it be possible to capture changes from a Postgres database in some kind of DAG in order that you could find out things like:

- What processes are inserting, updating or deleting data and historically how are they behaving? For example, do they operate differently ever?

- How are different applications' querying this data? Are there any statistics about their queries which are generally true? Historically how are these statistics changing?

I don't know if there is prior art here, or what kind of approach might allow a tool like this to be made?

(I've thought of making something like this before but I think this is an area in which you'd want to be a core Postgres engineer to make good choices.)
Show HN: Learn piano without sheet music
I always found sheet music way too hard to read - and I literally spent a year at a company building a sheet music rendering engine. I wanted an app that would display music like the tutorials on YouTube, but not be focused on upselling lessons etc. like most current apps, and also would let me import my own files

This works on MIDI files. If it’s a valid midi it probably plays.

Since releasing, I did add a subscription for classical music - on a theory that most normal users don’t know what a midi file is. It changed about a month ago from an up front price to in app purchases and/or a subscription - which has absolutely tanked revenue so far - but maybe it will pick up

Would love to hear your thoughts and if you have any suggestions!
How do you suggest they enforce the existing law?
I agree. A lot of people who were raised in the instant gratification culture of the last 25 years seem to like to use this phrase. I think it’s because they grew up with the ability to click a button and fire their brain’s reward pathway instead of learning that the best rewards come from delayed gratification and hard work. Instead of admitting that the problem lies within, they blame a corrupt system and “elites”, identifying the capitalistic economy as a late-stage disease.

Effectively, it’s the same as losing a game and saying “I didn’t want to be a winner anyway because the winners are terrible and cheat.” Pretty childish, right? That said, it does make losing feel a bit better.
There's a demographic that pays for content and then watches it on unofficial streaming sites - driven there in reaction to big platforms' ahole designs (can't filter or search well, pre-roll ads).

This will cement that group a bit.
I'm willing to buy Blu-Rays. I'm also willing to stop watching "content" altogether. I'm already hating the experience of the forced unskippable ads for Paramount shows that play at the beginning (AT MAX VOLUME) of every Paramount+ channel stream (Star Trek... sigh).

If I have to watch ads like regular network TV, which I now find unwatchable, I'd just have to do without.
