I used an SDR to check my microwave's emissions. They were pretty narrow and stable-ish. Not stable like an actual radio, but not all over the place wrecking all of the wifi channels.

I've not had it interfere with bluetooth or wifi. Bluetooth frequency hops, and moves away from channels with interference (dropped frames), doesn't it?

You're against HTTP/3 because it makes security mandatory?

Have you been completely asleep at the wheel over the past 20 years as ISPs around the world have started injecting ads in people's unencrypted HTTP traffic?

That's great that you want to host a simple website that other people around the world can visit using simple HTTP. Maybe if your website is completely benign and harmless, that's not unreasonable.

But a lot of us want to share information that's important, or sensitive - and we want sites where people can interact privately. I don't want the content of my site manipulated by third-parties along the way, and I don't want them snooping on traffic as people interact with my site.
Tom’s Boot Disk
Then you agree with this letter. It is calling put a specific issue and currently the only way to fix it would be to take away user theming by hard coding a stylesheet.

Since that removal of user choice is antithetical to these developers, they are looking for better solutions.

One solution is asking distributors to not apply themes to apps by default without doing QA on those apps.

The other solution is to provide apps a way to opt out of system default themes without those apps having to remove user choice by hard coding the stylesheet.

Is the jet used to superheat water, or directly drive a turbine generator?

If the latter, it would be a waste of time, if the former then you just want heat, and the fan is there to provide enough oxygen to burn the fuel so why would it impact efficiency?

Edit:
I was thinking literal jet engines that have indeed been used as generators, not combined cycle generators.

IP Litigation from an Inventor's Point of View

A company that I co-founded, Bandgap Enginering, in 2007 developed a high efficiency nanotextured silicon solar cell. The technology increases the efficiency and lowers the cost of solar electricity relative to the technologies being used in manufacturing at the time. Since that time, some of the related patents are the center of an ITC lawsuit.

As the litigation progresses and I am free to discuss my experiences more, I hope to share some of what I have learned on protecting your intellectual property. I hope that other hardworking and well-intentioned inventors can learn from my experiences.
Superior technical results relative to Google

These things need uptime of hours and days to do it properly and also to stay up to date. There are millions of nodes and torrents and to be non-abusive you have to issue requests at a somewhat sedate pace. And activity kind of moves with the sun due to people who run torrent clients on their home machines. And there are lots of buggy or malicious implementations out there that you have to deal with. So you'd want to run it as a daemon. The CLI would have to be a frontend to the daemon or its database.
The UI could be simple. I'm skeptical whether an implementation could be both good and simple.

A Murder Story: Whatever Happened to Interoperability?
Yes, but there’s obviously more to the story: this whole problem exists because there’s no real theme support at all. So users and distros literally hack css up and it usually ends up looking okay for the popular apps and terrible for all the others. There’s got to be a middle ground where some window manager provides more structured guardrails for people to apply custom styles and themes to their system that don’t break app layouts and make them look like crap. That way users and developers can meet in “supported” territory. The inability to effectively style Linux is one of the reasons I lean back on macOS so much.

The brand complaint is BS though. Using an alternative app icon does not rob you of your brand. If you care about your brand so much then defend it in your license. And don’t come whining if that means some popular distro won’t package you.

There are cases of weapons discharging due to malfunctioning weapons, holsters and ammunition instead of negligence.

At my workplace a common theme is that folks that use a piece of software heavily as part of their job use the big professional tools both because it is worth paying more for a better tool considering how much value they get out of it, and because it aids in collaborating for everyone to use the same tools.

People who only use a tool occasionally are the ones using Paint.net, Krita, Inkspace, Audacity, etc. Part of that is to save money, but a much bigger part is that it's too much hassle to go through procurement when it isn't absolutely necessary. More hours would be spent paying for the tool then would be spent using it.

That makes it a hard sell to get corporate donations. From the corporate perspective, the tool is completely off their radar because their employees are using it to intentionally bypass corporate bureaucracy.

Almost every Windows app discards the default theme in favour of some idiosyncratic mess. It sucks.

If a distro's default theme breaks an app then it's something the distro and app will have to work together and fix. But throwing system themes out in favour of app specific themes like the article is arguing for sounds absolutely awful.

Ask HN: Why there is so much of everything on the internet?
We have so many task management apps, note taking apps, bookmarking apps.

We have hundreds if not thousands of articles on any given topic.

Moreover we have short form content, be it tweets, reels or shorts in bulk. Literally bulk.

Why do you think that is? Why are we creating more and more of everything?
Pardon my knowledge. If we are to get very technical instead of for average people, surely you can self-sign a cert and setup your CA chain on the computers in your local network?

Yes! It's natively supported in the cluster object. You can specify rh.cluster(name="my-a10", instance_type="A10:1", provider="aws"), and gcp, azure, and lambda labs are also supported, and if you leave provider empty it will pick the cheapest one across whichever clouds you have set up locally (e.g. have a ~/.aws/credentials)
As a user, I'd appreciate it if these developers did disable theming in their apps - at least as a config switch.

If an app hasn't been properly tested with numerous themes the chances are that it'll break. The default Pop OS dark theme messes up several apps and it's a pain to poke around and fix them by editing obscure files. If it doesn't support theming I'd rather it look out of place than be partially illegible.

Also, sometimes even if I like things dark in general there's some software which just feels wrong if it's not light - like a word processor. The white background is representing paper, I don't want that to be inverted - and I don't want the toolbars etc to go dark either, because the contrast against the white page becomes unpleasant.

100%, I agree. This was a game changer for me when I was learning to manage state better back when I was learning React. I realized most state management issues emerged as data structures would evolve and get shoehorned into components. Taking a step back and designing the state’s structure appropriately and then the components accordingly tended to yield far better results. Of course the data structure is informed by a rough idea of future components, but it doesn’t need to follow the UI precisely. It’s a good practice
It's as much a scam as SEO used to be, or still is. Yes there are some techniques, that help you get better results, like providing examples and being precise. Especially local LLMs tend to have their own litte quirks, which you'll have to work around.

Same with SEO, yes, putting all you content in an image is bad, but as a rule of thumb ranking = relevancy * content * honest backlinks * google secret sauce.

If you are able to avoid the obvoius footguns, there is no need to ever hire a Prompt-Engineer /SEO-"expert"
Then you agree with these developers who think user choice is important and want to continue offering it to users with having distributors break their apps by automatically theming them.

> On a platform level, we believe GTK should stop forcing a single stylesheet on all apps by default. Instead of apps having to opt out of this by hardcoding a stylesheet, they should use the platform stylesheet unless they opt in to something else. We realize this is a complicated issue, but assuming every app works with every stylesheet is a bad default.
> I posit that any deliberate misinformation by the oil and gas lobby can and will be equally matched

The economic and political power of the oil and gas lobby is magnitudes larger than the economic and political power of the wind and solar lobby. We're talking about entrenched interests here.

Also, wind and solar didn't spent more than fifty years spreading misinformation and denialism about an existential threat to our global human civilization, framing and defaming credible scientists.

If there's ever an existential threat to our global human civilization through wind and solar and the wind and solar lobby is found to spread misinformation, framing and defaming credible scientists, I'm willing to revisit the topic.

Until then I'm not playing this game "both-sideism". There's a real and actual culprit here.

> If there are "better and cheaper" alternatives available right now, market forces will assure their dominance.

That's the "free market" fallacy. But we don't have a free market. We have have trillions of yearly subsidies for oil and gas[0], we've had it for decades. We spent trillions building up oil and gas infrastructure. To expect wind and solar to compete on such an uneven playing field where even the rules of the game are written by the fossil fuel lobby is ludicrous[1].

Oh, by the way. Power generation through wind and solar has been lower then all and any fossil fuels, for years[2]. So much for "the market will solve it".

Sci hub often needs to be accesses by a random IP and/or without a corporate-blessed TLS cert. The same goes for many counter-esrablishment sites across the world (China, Iran, ...).

The premise of the Internet was distributed dissemination of information for the mass public. There is a real fear that we are walking through practical one-way doors, ever increasing the barrier of access to disruptive counter-corporate/counter-state information.

It doesn't take a huge leap to relate these concerns to America's future political discourse.
One I didn't see the other's mention is that in Line Goes Up, Dan calls secure-scuttlebutt (SSB), a p2p messaging protocol, a blockchain.

IIRC Dan was relying on a sentence from an outdated, archived documentation site made by an open source contributor many years ago. The core SSB devs then had to try to convince people that Dan was wrong about their project. Dan refused to admit he was wrong, despite a lack of blockchain in the open source code, and just pasted a screenshot of the old docs.

The NRA used to be mostly focused on gun safety, and not lobbying for gun manufacturers in DC. Their courses were much more involved than "don't pull trigger if you don't want to shoot".

The expensive car policy is well counterbalanced by good public transportation and cheap fast taxis (no congestion). More convenient than owning a car, imo.
The USA needs to build a country where we can do this too. Car dependency is a scourge. The horrible housing policies of our states, counties, and cities is slowly destroying the fabric of our civilization. The fact that you need to own a car to exist in this country is absurd.

Awesome project, but are there any actual videos of it running the jet engine?

He says the jet engine moves 11,000 CFM of air, but that air can only come through the windows and the sunroof. Pulling 183 cubic feet of air per second through those little openings while sitting in the drivers seat isn't going to work. Just try to do the math on how fast that air would have to be moving through those windows.

Cool show piece though.

There is a third option and to me is likely the better option.

The themes are applied by default but there is somewhere to easily disable it on a a per app basis by the user and not by the app developer.

This makes it so some consistency is the default option but if something breaks then you can disable it. Maybe throw in some user education if you are really worried about this.

Edit: Also to be clear I don't really agree with the article. I understand some of the points it makes but considering downloading an app and it having a different UI is a frustration for me I would be very happy if on my iPhone I could somehow overwrite parts of that UI.

Regulatory capture happens more often with greater regulation. More regulation = more funding required = more labor needed to perform; more money, more labor demand = more political power; money funnels into those managing agencies through third party avenues as a means of buying power and before you know it the regulation is just another barrier to entry that allow existing corporations (often the ones who craft the regulation) to consolidate their industry.

Then we get things like the Horizon Deep oil spill.

It would be legal to run it on the factory engine, at which point the jet is just cargo. If you start the jet on a public road, it could be considered a public nuisance, reckless driving, etc.

If a the vehicle presents a clear and present danger of any kind it is a-priory a ticketable offence at least. With the jet off, it poses no such danger.

I'm in a similar situation and I've been looking at quadlets a lot.

The approach is quite different from docker-compose and not really a substitute. It makes your individual containers into systemd services in an easier way than creating a unit file that calls `docker run`. But you still have to manually define networks in .network files, and configure all your dependencies in unit file syntax.

If you're very familiar with writing in systemd unit files, or really really want to use systemd to manage all container-related objects individually instead of having your container daemon do most of the work and a single compose file per group of related objects, you should consider switching. But in my experience there's little to be gained, a LOT to be lowt, and a lot of work to do the switch.

Those things don't add up - there's often no wind, no sun, no hydro. Energy storage is also orders of magnitude too small to store reasonable amounts of energy. I would argue we should start with the cleanest source of energy (which is nuclear, of course) and fill the gaps with renewables.
