It's worth investing some time in it now. The tools are a bit more fleshed out along with the documentation, so it's not the pain it once was. It's been a godsend for some image processing work I've been doing of late. The performance improvements have been phenomenal.
Are you referring to the Venmo API at https://venmo.com/docs/overview/ which has the following warning? If you've managed to buy a business' account to use that API, go for it, but otherwise that seems a bit of a development dead end.

My point is that I don't find it remotely feasible to write down unfiltered thoughts. They are necessarily dramatically filtered in terms of volume, because the speed of thought is magnitudes faster than the speed of writing. They are also filtered because putting things into words constitutes a transformation and distortion of the original thoughts, a crafting into words that are not quite the same as the original thoughts. Thirdly, the writing process introduces meta-thoughts about the writing, which when following "write down what pops into your head" very quickly leads to just writing about the writing.

Maybe other people are less conscious of the distortions and of their meta-thoughts. But for me it makes the exercise a rather artificial process, where it's difficult to produce anything authentic, anything close to the original thoughts.
I fully understand if you have no other choice or prioritise providing for others.
ChatGPT with privacy enabled became unusable
When you don't want OpenAI use your ChatGPT chats for their AI models by turning off "allow them to be used to improve our models", it is no longer possible to have longer conversation then a few minutes.

When you focus back on the tab with ChatGPT after a few minutes, then this event is probably used to wipe the conversation, because you can see the page getting cleared when you want to continue.

Before this issue it, was possible to have a conversation open and stable for 6 hours (already not ideal).

This new behavior hinders usage like solving software development or system admin issues. This also affect users with the Plus subscription that might want to use ChatGPT in a professional context and can't offer company data to be used in OpenAI models.

It is not clear if it is an honest mistake or a newly introduced limitation to nudge people into sharing more data.
Israel was duped as Hamas planned devastating assault
I never mentioned laptops. This isn't a laptop. It's a device that already suffers from gimped capabilities compared to a computer of similar bulk and cost. So any way you can add utility to it is worth considering.
I repaired about two dozen units in the past three years and twenty years past their service life the most common failure mode seems to be a failing photodiode array which corrects for the tracking of the optical head. This is unfortunately beyond fixing by a hobbyist, so the minidisc format revival is effectively limited by the supply of working optical heads.

Btw my first thought (and the general consensus of the md community) was that the units fail due to dying laser diodes. I designed and built a md laser power meter (https://github.com/fijam/md-lpm) that runs off a coin cell and fits in a md disc case and every failed unit I tested had a working laser diode.

- What was the material for core/cavity (tool steel)?
- What was the lowest tolerance on the part?
- Were US/EU manufacturers considered at all?

You don't win a Nobel for a single contribution per se, you win for a lifetime of contributions that changes the trahectories of many other lives (research directions, consumer applications, etc.). So it's hard to game the metric here since the award is basically "did you do something huge and hugely beneficial for everyone".

> Russia is quietly sapping the strength of Ukraine, NATO and the EU, and Israel is reaping the harvest from sowing discontent in the region for decades.

I think it's the other way around, Ukraine is decimating Russias fighting strength, theres no other real way to explain Russias reactivation of T62 tanks and its frankentechnicals that it has been making from any spare gun it can find and a MTLB.
> #define countof(a) (sizeof(a) / sizeof(*(a)))

It makes no sense to use the word "length" to mean one less than the number of items. You could call it maxindexof perhaps.

There may be good arguments for zero based indexing, but we have to also accept that there are downsides. One is that your code has to feature an artificial quantity obtained by subtracting one from a meaningful quantity.
Well the sleep deprivation stage doesn't last that long (although it seems long when going through it) for most babies.

And in terms of one child, your brain (and evolution) does a great job at helping you forget and filter out only the positive experiences of a newborn.

Plus once you've had one, you don't stress nearly as much about the subsequent ones which taxes your brain a lot less. You don't feel quite so exhausted by it and you know it doesn't last forver.
I was really hoping that the Pine64 PineCube cameras would gain traction in this space, but it seems like they only ever really shipped small batches of them. They'd need an enclosure/software to make them a reasonable choice.

Also, the software they were using (OpenDNSSEC) had an automated delay to avoid exactly this issue, but the delay period was based on a setting in its config file that was supposed to reflect the TTL of the DS record, and they forgot to change it when the TTL changed.

I will admit I bailed half way through, as I felt it was just repeating itself over and over with slightly different words and examples. That plus the fact that by the time I started reading it it was becoming more and more clear that much of the experimental evidence presented didn't stand up to scrutiny. All the being said the parts I did read were interesting and I buy the overall framework presented, if not all the conclusions they draw. It is also a really interesting document on how supposedly cutting edge psychological research was done.
It's implementation dependent. If I recall correctly unbound defaults to caching bogus responses for 60 seconds and BIND for 30 seconds.
No its most like Tesla/Musk that came up with the term. But it is in fact a press and its a bad name, hence Idra also calling it that.
Hi!

Apple notes is not available to quickly access from iMessage or a custom keyboard.
And copy/paste is also a treat in security because:
- any app can take the content of your pasteboard, and the pasteboard is shared without consent with other devices sharing the same iCloud account.

My app uses a local storage for the data, and just like notes, put the content over iCloud sync. This allow to prevent losing data when deleting the app. But still provide privacy for the data you put in the app.

Final thoughts: this is not a password manager either. But in my thoughts, something you end up sharing to some folks needs privacy, but not the security of a password manager !
This isn't talking about computers. It's talking about a tablet that already suffers from intentionally crippled capabilities.

Apple has always prevented developers from accessing the I/O ports on iOS devices, and I don't expect that to end with the switch to USB. Apple even cripples the Bluetooth functionality on said devices.

And then of course there's the removal of the headphone/microphone jack.

That's what this jab means: Apple has deliberately hobbled its mobile devices from connecting to the world around them.
If writing is something new for you then it is normal that it will feel unnatural and thus attract more attention to the activity itself. It's totally okay to start off writing about writing to get things going. In no time you will naturally move on to writing about other things. So don't worry and just write
It’s better than dealing with needlessly long type names like uint32_t though

Going through HN top list today on a machine with no ad blocker I see the same in pretty much all US sites: Cookie popup that is clearly illegal, lots of ads, cookies and trackers (189 on one site), then some JavaScript pop-up about whatever (newsletter mostly) when moving the mouse outside the frame. It is not any better. At most more polished but likely we are just used to it. Good thing I have adblockers in both my normal machines browser and on the firewall.
I started using paperless a few weeks ago and thus far i really like it. However i have a cuse case, of which i am not sure if there is a way to solve it using paperless.
That is having something akin to an ongoing chat/thread that you have with a corespondent.

If I want something done by a third party i.e. my bank ill send them a mail or setup a meeting with a representative. This creates documents, that i want to add to paperless. Over the course of the next weeks additional documents will be created that outline the "progress" of the topic. I want all of the documents for this single issue im trying to solve to be kinda linked together, so that i always know the current progress and where it all started.

Does anyone here found a good way to solve this issue or is there even a built in function from paperless that i did not see ?

Meh.. couples just need to find what works for them. There is no one right approach.

I did nights for all my kids. Unlike my partner, I can fall asleep almost instantly, no matter when I'm woken up. My partner, if woken up at 3am, is up for the rest of the night.

So I did nights. Wake up, feed, change diaper, rock back to bed, fall asleep right away, then rinse and repeat 2 more times at 2-3 hr internals.

Though I was sleep deprived, it wasn't that bad and still went to work each day. My partner had the kid during the day, and it just worked for us.

I don't think such an inference can be made.
I thought the same. I didn’t “experience” any of these things. I’ve always been driven, fit, resilient. Procrastinated about my health, and being better about sleep/all-nighters.

Then I was diagnosed with cancer at 30.

Blessed to have treated it. I don’t take health for granted any longer, sleep is a critical component of my health. Mental and physical state are 10x where they were.

Ymmv. There’s no proof that I directly contributed my cancer, but I suspect I did.
That is super uncommon in Europe.

- extremely poor editing functionality on whiteboard / paper

I agree with this. I struggled the same thing as GP mentioned, and worse. And from my experience it’s a vicious cycle.

I don’t necessarily agree with the specific “get up at T”, but generally working towards getting rid of bad sleeping habits (and nutrition etc.) is incredibly beneficial. Seemingly small improvements can have a positive snowball effect.

Negative circumstances (like “my job is shit”) can be overcome more easily the more energy you have.

Seems trite, but it’s trivially true. My mental state improved gradually and I gathered more courage, got more resilient and more creative.

I’m much happier, helpful and have much more impact on my life and my surroundings than ever before. And it all started with the basics.
That's true but doesn't really invalidate the approach, nor is it an excuse to revert to whatever everyone else is doing.

Ah yes, why wouldn't I believe a pro Russian source about whats happening in Ukraine.

That would totally be an unbiased source based in reality and not trying to push a narrative in anyway shape or form.
While I do not care for Amazon sniffing on reading habits, I am curious what else tops the list.

> Most games you play nowadays is winnable. And when it isn't people complain why isn't it winnable.

Meh. There’s plenty of modern games where “winning” either is not really a thing (Minecraft, Terraria, dwarf fortress) or is fiendishly difficult (“winning” StS would be semi-reliably killing the heart with any character at maximum ascension, I think just reaching A20 in 50 hours would be impressive).
And thus I don't really see the point. When it first came out, I hoped GraphQL would allow me to craft my queries in one place, and reduce the tedium and error-proneness of writing client and server code to pack and unpack the data structures. But it doesn't, as far as I could tell.

Thanks for the reply.
That phrase only refers to the distance from you to a grocery store. So, no you don’t need to enter food desert territory when you buy a house in one of the many smaller CA cities/towns.

Anyway, buying a house can be an investment but living in a larger one than you need is wasting a productive asset. If you have a 4 bedroom house you can rent out for 4k/month then living in it is costing you 4k/month the same way renting a place for 4k would be. There’s nothing inherently wrong with buying an investment house, but you shouldn’t be out anywhere close to the full monthly cost.

The title is a mischaracterization of what was said:

>More than 80 percent of our devices will be able to be repaired at the customer,

At the customer not by the customer. What they mean by this is that a skilled (and probably approved) technician would be able to carry out a repair on-site.

I think it's actually a much more reasonable approach - devices should have a first-class vendor supported route for repair. Outside of that, obviously people should also be free to have a go and repair the device themselves, but there's obvious reasons why that should be at arms-length from the vendor.

Personally I already have an X1, I bought it for work, I have the full 5 year support package and it's great, I think it's a totally reasonable compromise. I'm an engineer using this device for work, I don't expect to be cracking it open and fixing it myself when something goes wrong, and I don't expect my employer to tolerate my not working because I don't have the correct tools.

I never said anything about how the money is used.
The title had me click away instantly. The "US security threat!" is always clickbait, even if true, as it is not a title that tells you any information but try to force readers to read on because of fear. It is fox news style in other words.

I'm afraid you're missing the point here - people don't want "even better" than CRTs (otherwise they might as well go and play the latest 3D shooter on their 4K display), they want something which gets as close as possible to how a real CRT looked like.

Wish this worked for me, but my brain straight up ignores[0] any kind of alarm clocks, music, light, etc. until it's something like 10:00 in the morning, or until a person wakes me up (and checks 5-10 minutes later if I'm actually up)[1]. So, shifting time to morning turned out to be impossible to maintain when I was living alone - I could hold such schedule for maybe a week at most, gradually oversleeping more and more. Still, it was possible then and I wish I tried harder, because now it's strictly not - I have two small kids, and one true thing about them is that they always wake up earlier than you[2]. So there's no space for personal time in the morning.

Also I wonder if I'm the only one here who feels that their mind takes some 2/3 of the day to get into high gear?.It's probably more about emotional balance than cognitive functions, but I feel like I'm best able to focus only from late afternoon onward, making late night the only time that's useful for anything.

[0] - I tried all kinds of things. Music blaring from the speakers at 06:30 sharp? Within a week, I've mastered getting up, hitting the power button on the amplifier, and falling back to bed in one, smooth move, with ballet-like fluidity. Got an alarm clock that requires you to solve math problems to turn it off? I quickly realized I must've mastered the art of multiplying 2-digit numbers in memory while unconscious, because I would wake up at 11:00 to discover multiple such alarms disabled, with no memory of doing it, or even hearing them ring.

[1] - Yes, that means business trips are especially hard for me. When traveling alone, I rely on wake-up calls from my wife (and check-ups afterward). Even with that, I still almost missed a plane once.

[2] - Except when there's an important appointment coming up that we need to get up unusually early for - on those nights, they're near-impossible to wake up.

stdint.h

It's always been amazing to me how many different projects I've worked on (not that I've been in professional C for about 7 years now)) that include their own painstaking recreation of this file.

Reusing them and effectively translating them just to your own name is just annoying to the reader IMHO. I am reminded of a C++ project I worked on, where I questioned the extensive use of typedefs around collections of things, various forms of references and compound objects etc. I was informed by one of the more experienced C++ folks that it made the code easier to comprehend.

Later I saw the typedef cheat-sheet sellotaped to the side of his monitor...
That article has noting todo with castings. It literally doesn't even mention castings. If this owner had damanged his casting it couldn't be repaired for 5k.

The article even talks about how this doesn't just apply to Tesla, so again, this has nothing to do with using castings.

This is also a British articles based no British concern and insurance companies.
But that problem exists for any C project that uses an external library. If the library defines something that the project already uses, then the project will not work.

In my mind that's not a problem with the decisions taken by the author of the article, it's more of a symptom of C's limitations.
Should we ban new iPhone releases from being discussed here? Other tech released as well?
I think it's nice to see my own library grow. It will also be interesting to revisit it one day. It's like a time capsule. Plus it's thousands of pages of input to create an ai-version of myself one day ;)
Forty years is just a crazy amount. I’ve been doing it for 30 and getting paid for 20, and I know my stuff: but not to that level. Fabien is just a demigod. Given the long ass hours I’m pushing 100k hours in this trade, and I feel like I’m really finding my feet in the last 1-3 years.

This is one of those trades where you can do amazing shit on the first day, but you’re still a work in progress just decades in.

Not the topic poster, but speaking from the similar experience, the cost can be as low as $4,000 in China for the size of these parts. In USA/Canada it would start with a $60k minimum, and with a 6 month timeline instead of 1.
And 9 times out of ten, the local fab is making their moulds in China anyway.
In the "test setup", it says: "a t3a.micro" and "a t4g.micro".

To me, this implies they used a single ec2 instance of each size. However, ec2 instance p99s or so can be impacted by "noisy neighbors", especially on the burstable types which are intentionally oversubscribed.

It's still useful to know if, for example, t4gs are more prone to noisy neighbors, but with only 1 instance as a datapoint, you simply can't tell if it was bad luck or not.

I think this test would be much better with either only dedicated instance types, or by running it with a large n such that an individual unlucky/noisy-neighbor doesn't influence the results overtly.
The strange shape of the Roman province of Dacia [1], which was vulnerable on three sides (West, North and East), was most probably the result of the Romans' desire to posses this salt-mine and some other ones located near-by. Turda used to be called Potaissa [2] back in those days (you can see it in the center of the map that I linked to), and there was almost always a Roman legion stationed there.

There were also some actual gold mines that the same Romans were taking advantage of close-by, at Alburnus Maior (also visible on the map).
