Wind Power is the cheapest source of energy only in a very naive calculation that treats kW as if they were tomatoes. As most politicians and journalists don't have even a rudimentary understanding of how power generation, distribution and consumption works, they can peddle this lie ad nauseam until the society in general believes it.

Of course, this begs the question of why the market needs so much nudging in form of punitive taxes and subsidies to adopt wind generation more widely, which is conveniently answered by the laughable conspiracy theory of the bad evil conservatives banning it because probably they are in the pockets of bad big oil (so, big oil competitors are destitute non-profit companies that can't buy politicians?).

Every single time I hear people talking about the "pockets of fossil fuel industry", I wonder if they understand that there are other capital interests in the world, that selling alternative energy probably, and more importantly, financing this transaction have probably a far more tasty upside for big energy corporations and big finance than keep on selling a mineral commodity. You have absolutely huge derivative markets of carbon credits, and yet people act as if everyone is pushing this transition exclusively out of the goodness of their hearts, as if this transitions is not the greatest business opportunity for fleecing tax payers in centuries.
That makes sense as this sure feels like a long shot. Not marking a big road hazard like that for years seems negligent to me. Maps are inherently unable to show all things that could alter a road, the driver should always judge if they are operating on out of date information. If it simply seems odd I'll try it (I've found a few routes like that that made a lot of sense that I never would have thought of) but if it's unreasonable don't do it!
I think sandboxing is the more powerful solution. You think in terms of "What privileges can the attacker gain if this code blows up?" and limit the code's privileges to the minimum.

Problem is, sandboxing is harder to implement so it's often done suboptimally or not at all.
Not an issue: You already have two grandfathers and two grandmothers, how do you call them?

I'm not sure I understand what the big deal is with selection-first. If I want vim to be selection-first, I just press v. It's just one keystroke!
To someone not familiar with the space, search seems like an incredibly complex and difficult space to get right. In your view, is it reasonable for the average developer prepared to read both of those books to expect to come out the other side and construct something ready for production? Thanks!
No. JWST is not a spy satellite. Everybody gets the images as measured. Different instruments have different resolutions.
These were all patched shortly after iOS 17 was released, and all appear to affect both 16 and 17. Does that imply the researchers were holding onto them to see whether the vulnerabilities still existed in iOS 17?
Jabber core protocol (XMPP) is kinda like SMTP. It deals with transmission of messages between two peers. Just like with SMTP, you can federate servers, so they can exchange messages between each other.

And the similarities don't end here. XMPP doesn't have built-in support for encryption (apart from the basic TLS encryption for the transport layer), it doesn't have support for message archiving and chat history syncing, there is no support for group chats, and so on.

A lot of this functionality is added as extensions (e.g. group chats are XEP-045), but this simply caused a lot of fragmentation in the ecosystem. So you could never rely on your client (or server) interoperating with other clients properly.

Audio calls and video also never really worked well. Google tried to push them by releasing libjingle in 2006 (!!!) but it was kinda ignored by everyone.
Teams is high up on the stink list - its steaming.
it can only be used to shut down whataboutism

if literally all your arguments and all your discussions depend on your use of whataboutism, the problem and solution lie within yourself: conceive of affirmative arguments supporting your position which aren't logical fallacies, like whataboutism is
An aside, but hovering over the image only to have it obscured... and then smaller on click, is a little comical.
Fair enough, what I meant by 1:1 wasn't the length, more the prefix-freeness thing.

Trivially, there is a 1:1-correspondence between the set of all possible ASCII strings and the image of that set under Base64 encoding, because otherwise it wouldn't be an encoding anymore :)

This doesn't guarantee that a Base64-encoded string can't be identical to a substring of a different Base64-encoded string. And for arbitrarily short substring length (bit), this doesn't make sense either.

So we rely on some definitions and minimal data structures such as bytes.

What I meant was that AFAIK, the ASCII character set might have an image under Base64 encoding that allows for prefix-free encoding given a minimum read length.
God Emperor is a slog, but sets the groundwork for Heretics and Chapterhouse, and they're in my opinion very good. I've re-read Chapterhouse more than any of the others.

But I think he meant for there to be a final one to follow it, and so it closes off somewhat unsatisfactorily.

It's hard to complain too much when you've got someone like Neil Gaiman rewriting the script. He fought hard to keep what he could unchanged for Princess Mononoke. That's probably the best case scenario when it comes to dubs. Rewrites with highly skilled writers who care about the material and who work with the creators to protect the integrity of the work.
Misanthropes destroying all things cute and whimsical.

Also the wiz bulbs have one feature that most others don't have: they get their last state back after a power outage. If there's one thing you don't want, it's a full bright room after a brownout in the middle of the night!
Possibly. I guess you can't remove the idea that the information was found through some open means. For all we know the private jets of the Cisco leaders might have been in the same location as those from Splunk.
Still not taking a flight from SFO to SJC to seal a deal.
Just start with the fact that all desktop programs had a menu bar where you could find every feature - and at least on Windows - also a shortcut for that feature.

This was broken with Ribbon and the hamburger menus that every application seems to have switched to for no other reason it seems than to copy Chrome.

To be fair Ribbon is somewhat useable again, but the in the first version I have no idea how people were supposed to find the open and save functions :-)

Other problems:

Tooltips are gone. Yes, I can see they are hard to get right on mobile, but why remove them on desktop while at the same time when the help files and the menus were removed?

The result is even power users like me have to hunt through internet forums to figure out how to use simple features.

Back in the nineties I could also insert a hyphen-if-needed (I have no idea what it is called but the idea is that in languages like Norwegian and German were we create new words by smashing other words together it makes sense to put in invisible hyphens that activates whenever the word processor needs to break the word and disappears when the word is on the start or in the middle of a line and doesn't have to be split.)

Back in the nineties I was a kid on a farm. Today I am a 40+ year-old consultant who knows all these things used to be possible but the old shortcuts are gone and I cannot even figure out if it these features exist anymore as documentation is gone, tooltips are gone and what documentation exist is autotranslated to something so ridiculously bad that I can hardly belive it. (In one recent example I found Microsoft had consistently translated the word for "sharing" (sharing a link) with the word for "stock" (the ones you trade).
AIUI Korean and Farsi (among many others, I'm sure!) also have lots of very specific words for familial relationships.
> never bothered to tell the part of Microsoft that writes the generic Windows UI code

no, they just don't care.
All those points equally apply to web apps and that’s exactly why web apps are becoming the default starting point for any new product.
I think we are much more than an analytics tool, but we don't yet have all the bells and whistles of the modern CDW. We think of ourselves as a new type of data warehouse - some things are different, but many things are the same.

We actually just published a new produck page that talks about how we see ourselves at [0].

This SoC was, unfortunately, never really used, Centaur shut down and IIRC Intel bought the remains.

Which is a shame, as it was really cool. And it was x86!
For comparison, the furthest we've dug down is about 8 miles, and Europa's ice crust is estimated to be 10-15 miles. So, yeah that would be like us getting discovered by mole people from nearly twice the depth we're capable of reaching. It's fun to think about what a civilization on Europa would think about their world. You can go up, but it gets colder and the pressure gets lower. It'd be like trying to go to space, but you have to dig to get there. Perhaps the change in density would make any such upward drilling unstable and beyond their means.
There are 2 main things blocking this: Zoning issues. A lot of states have restrictive zoning that makes energy installation hard[0]. And money. (Although he Inflation Reduction Act will help[1], at least for windmills.)

Since the 2nd problem is money, Bloomberg could have helped here - all he needed to do was invest all this money into buying and installing windmills. But he didn't.

I was intrigued by the name and was very pleasantly surprised to confirm the Welsh influence when I clicked though. The creator lives very close to home for me.

Dal ati! We really need open source alternatives to Google.
exactly. If you block go packages via firewall IT rules, you block github.com software engineering work. It's the one thing I think that's holding Golang back. Deno as well. I know it looks novel but it's a security nightmare.
Is there a way to detect AI generated content reliably? It feels like at some point most people will use AI to generate content and then alter it as they wish. (This is what I do when I'm writing code). Maybe this is already a common practice among the writers.
> While Make UK regards the rise in the export rankings as “encouraging”, it cautions that this is only the third time since 2002 that the UK has been ranked higher than France and cannot be attributed to a post-Brexit bounce or other specific factors.

Sounds like it is just complex models for each country with significant sources of error so one year is only really a good indicator that the UK probably hasn't slipped.
Why though? Where does this actually get used?

This seems to represent two different relationships. The mother’s sibling could be a brother. For the father a sister is specified. What about the father’s brother’s younger daughter?

The description says younger daughter in both cases but the name doesn’t specify. So what’s the class for the older daughter of the mother’s sibling or the father’s sister?

And if age is relevant what about the father’s older sister’s younger daughter, etc.
Honestly, the only thing I wish to see before I die is a submarine mission to Europa or Ganymede. It would be even more mind blowing and an amazing achievement for humanity, and the search for extraterrestrial life.

That, and the dragonfly-helicopter-thing on Titan. Have you ever seen the Sun set on a methane lake?

It's time for a rewatch of Europa Report (2013).
All this just highlights the fact that none of this is going to work out for us. We halt climate change: economic collapse. We don't halt climate change: economic collapse.

Forget climate change, natural resources are already stretched to the point where the cost of living is sky-rocketing. We were distracted by the pandemic...it is/was not the main problem. Billions of people trying to live the industrial life is the problem. Natural resources and land are the bottleneck.

Overnight, the price of automobiles increased by 30%. Healthcare, housing, and energy are the root cause right now (been soaring for decades). By the time you figure those out you won't have enough bauxite or some shit.
I also maintain a JVM which we run some backend JS libraries on via custom Nashorn builds. It's slow and drinks memory. Setting up a façade in front of a pool of ScriptEngine objects mitigates some of the startup cost, but I super don't like the idea of running React for server rendering. I would suggest standing up a NodeJS rendering microservice instead; we'd do it if arcane deployment reasons didn't preclude the possibility.
I was late to Hue.. I have 4 bulbs in my house I bought within the last year.

I never even knew about their app, I've been using Wiz instead. My Phillips lights came with instructions to use Wiz and I didn't even know there was an official Hue app until I saw this today.

But I have a Wiz account..
Because it's totally normal for an author to publish 2 or 3 books a day, but 4 books is just suspicious.
The lossless format (where this bug's in) achieves amazing compression rates, compared to PNG.
I must be getting older, because "everything old is new again" keeps coming to mind.

Only advice would be: don't follow these fads unless you a) are doing it to learn or b) can quantify tangible business value in the change. The worst reason to do it is because everyone else seems to be doing it*

*Unless literally everyone is doing it and the "old" thing becomes unsupported.
I'm a Rails core member too, and Eileen is my colleague...

You are interpreting both links you gave in terrible ways.
So Splunk is too expensive and there are better products and people keep paying. This doesn't really add up.
Currently, when you carry out task Foo, you perform steps A, B, C and D. Regulation is introduced which says you cannot under any circumstances omit step C.

No increase in expenses.
When I was a kid we stayed at a campground with the most beautifully crystal clear lake. There was a paved and marked road leading right into the lake and it continued until you couldn't see it anymore. I assume the road was there before the lake. I also assume the lake was from a dam somewhere downstream. Anyway, point being, it was a legit road straight into a lake. I can see that being a case where a mapping company might give bad directions.
No need to dig, you just melt yourself downwards. It's not exactly like digging through rocks on Earth.
And then if you click on "Expand" (after clicking on the click which makes it smaller), it is restored to its original size.
So if your Android device is out of support, there’s now a 0-click exploit floating about in the wild?

Or will updating the SMS App, Chrome, WhatsApp, Signal etc be sufficient to cover all the likely input routes?
No worries, just wanted to check because I wanted to advise you to broaden your horizons a bit because that’s a fairly narrow collection of countries. But all good.
The US actually does have a radiation detector network that covers most major cities. If you have enough radioactive material to pose a threat to people's health from brief exposure over a non-trivial area, it would be detected. You'd probably also wind up on a lot of intelligence agencies' radars trying to acquire that much radioactive material and the equipment for handling it.
I think that’s more or less what this project is working towards:

Splunk bought VictorOps and the product has been stagnant or even worse since then.

PagerDuty is significantly better for about the same price and demonstrates ways in which the product could have kept improving.

Anecdotally, but the missus experienced the same.

Fatigue, brain fog. Oh you're just bored said the doctor. Blood turned out fine. This lasted for about 3 years (short, when I read other people's experiences here).

We moved, and got a new PCP. The missus brought up her fatigue again and lo and behold, through a series of tests and referrals, all initiated by the new PCP, the ended up being diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.

Does that change that she feels tired? No, but at least it gives a reason and that does help in allowing yourself the liberty of taking it slower for a day.
Unless you are making a vm per page refresh, I can't really see how a browser in the VM is any safer than a browser outside the VM.

My most valuable stuff (passwords, bank accounts, logins) is accessible from the browser. You'd need to somehow sandbox and frequently destroy/restore the rendering and javascript engine to avoid leaking this information cross site while having a fairly strict firewall between those and the external browser. (IE: cookie/session/password storage).
It's funny that their blog uses good old WordPress and YouTube for videos.

Anyway, it seems creepy, I hope we can opt out. I fear that in the future most of the bullshit content from companies will be generated by AI. And then we'll need another AI to summarise it.
Flux in general is probably the most important right after making sure you have an iron capable of handling the thermal recovery (you can't get the shit to stay liquid long enough if your iron can't handle keeping temp). The difference between relying on the flux core in even my leaded solder and adding a tap of my MG Chemicals flux when making a joint is night and day.

My lead-free joints come out nicely rounded and shiny just like my leaded ones with some practice and the right consumables. But I certainly have to break out hot air station more than I would when using leaded solder to deal with larger thermal masses (and why I will still break out my spool of leaded wire on rare occasion when I'm working with temp-sensitive components and just want it on the freaking board).
Yep I was just going to say I'm flying and staying in a hotel for a conference next month and although I have loyalty programs with the airline and the hotel I am getting zip for those because I had to book through my employer's travel system.
I wonder if there would be any interest from folks for an alternative npm registry that would automatically cleanup dependency chains like this (among other things, possibly), remove polyfills etc.

I always thought about something like this, with on the fly manipulation of packages via SWC would be pretty fast I think
Please enlighten us @fragmede, did any of those mixers processed NFTs?

>If you think [...] is the first time a business deal has gone wrong between criminals

Huh? Feels kind of dumb that I have to type this but ok, here you go, "No. I do not think this is the first time a business deal has gone wrong between criminals".
Perhaps significant enough vaper from plumbing solder made it into AC unit or some other building or trade technique which involves some lead
I tend to agree but there are use cases where the smart bulbs have been great for us.

1. Next to our bed we have reading lamp sconces. The sconces we picked out do not have light switches (oops). It turned out to be a blessing in disguise as now the reading lamps automatically switch on in the evening before we come upstairs to bed, then turn off as part of the “good night” scene (which also alarms the security system, etc). If the alarm goes off, the lights automatically switch on to max.

2. Our front porch and rear lights automatically turn on and off with the sunset/sunrise. They also turn onto a flashing red/blue if the alarm is triggered (kind of corny but hey anything to scare off would be intruders)

3. Our kids have smart bulbs in their room lamps. We are able to switch them to a low red colored light as a night light automatically when it’s their bedtime.

Most of my lights are “dumb”. The few use cases for smart bulbs are nice though. I use the Nanoleaf essentials through Apple HomeKit so I don’t feel like I’m exposing my personal details to some third party.
A+ I’m so going to steal this.
Unfortunately lead-free solder is a lot harder to solder with; it just doesn't flow as nicely. Companies doing it in an automated way have long figured it out though.

This is why hobbyists are often still using leaded solder, particularly outside of the EU. But also in the EU, because it just flows so damned nice.
Yes! This is called binding in zigbee parlance. I have a couple of ikea bulbs and switches and, if memory serves me, you can bind up to 10 bulbs to a single switch.
>That's completely besides the point because they can both be liable

That's not at all besides the point. When I make my own navigation software and publish it on the internet, I'm not liable for keeping the roads safe.

I defer that responsibility to the government. I rely on the roads being safe because there are other institutions responsible for ensuring that.
I'd say this is different from the trolley problem, because, again, unilateral, extrajudicial, extraterritorial assassinations of political opponents are wrong, even if you shout "terrorist!" while murdering

they are always wrong

it doesn't matter if you also did a good thing, it doesn't even matter if the good thing was related: you aren't allowed to do the wrong thing, period, even if you really, really, really want to, even if you think you have a good reason to break the rules and do wrong

and as to your first question, eh, could be for some examples, but it'd be a distraction, as the answer doesn't matter, because the case we're discussing definitely wasn't either one
The relevant sci-fi is the planet of Krikkit from the 3rd Hitch-Hikers book, Life, the Universe, and Everything. On that world, life evolved under a permanent blanket of cloud. At no point did they ever see the stars, or think that there might be something of interest above them. Until one day they sent up a rocket which penetrated the dust cloud, and for the first time they became aware of the rest of the universe.

Their response? “It’ll have to go.”
Matt Levine's money stuff offered the hypothesis that it could just be normal gambling. But, it's almost definitely insider trading, and either way, someone will definitely be getting an SEC visit.
People are resorting to cheaper calorically dense food to cope with inflation/CoL rises.
They care a lot if they get bad reviews online. That translates directly into sales.

An insane amount of money and effort that goes into most AAA games. It seems like a stretch to accuse the industry of not caring about the quality of the games they make.

I don’t believe so, HN should be a place where people talk about tech and academia.

Once you expand the scope, it says “this is what this group of people by majority have decided is Interesting, regardless of the field”. To me that reads as a cult mindset.

I think shrinking the scope allows people to challenge their opinions. When you broaden it, discussions become nothing more than “wow bird house building is really cool, thanks HN!” “I’m glad I found out how to build a tandem bike”
Days in Minneapolis are indeed longer in the summer time, but far shorter in the winter time. Electric heat is quite challenging in the winter, when a plant such as this would be at a fraction of its output.

The link in the parent post contains a map that would indicate most suitable location by far for such an installation would be in the South West.

However, without an installation with a proven track record, this seems kind of like pie in the sky thinking.
I think that answers the question to “what about?” above. You request a replacement.
