I think the point here is that it's subverting and redirecting Bentham's own utilitarianism against itself. How does the utilitarian decide which one of those has more utility? That's a rhetorical question and it's sort of immaterial how that question gets answered, because regardless of how they decide, the dialogue is structurally describing how utilitarianism is vulnerable to exploitation of this type.

Its a unit of charge and not capacity.

You have the full charge voltage, and the cutoff voltage where you assume the battery be drained (min operational voltage for your circuit), and the charge that gets you from the first to the latter is the mAh number. I find it more practical than using plain energy (Wh or Joule).
I use keycloak, but it's Java and I need Go or better performance.

With the new UI mass admin tasks are no longer possible.
At least version upgrades are better now.

Keycloak has no ed25519 support. Louketo proxy or whatever it's called nowadays only supports RS256, so I had to write my own OIDC middleware.
At least they stopped generating UUIDv4 secrets.

Hydra is too complex.

Dex is too simple.

Identity Server lacks performance because C#.

Zitadel, heard but not tried yet. The keycloak vs zitadel page doesn't help. Is the Zitadel access token also jwt like in keycloak and included role membership?

I use a Vue client specifically for Keycloak.
The generic openid-connect-client is unmaintained.
The TS fork doesn't have a working, maintained, reactive implementation.

Why does OIDC have to be so complicated?
I know why... so you, like with k8s, trust external, paid for (expensively), companies with your work and data.

The old "make it complicated so people would rather pay for our services".

I'm in a similar boat. Generally it is background noise until it isn't and then it is a REAL drag. If I am ill or stressed or both it can flare up and then I'm in for a few days of utter suffering.
It's presumptuous to assume your cultural norms apply to everyone across the entire world.

I think it's completely reasonable to assume Greenland has relatively separate history from wherever you got the "white and blue" intuition from.
There have been several notable collisions in the last decade. I think a full blown Kessler scenario is unlikely but it will definitely be a problem for satellite operators. Let alone the impacts on terrestrial astronomy.

Once you factor in all the energy and materials required to actually recycle those plastics (water to clean, fuel to transport, personnel to sort, etc.), the act of recycling plastic itself is a net loss. And that’s only if you can find someone to actually do it, since the resulting recycled product is usually more expensive than using virgin material.

Aluminum on the other hand takes so much energy to mine that the cost and effort of recycling makes it far more desirable to use the recycled version and is well worth the effort.
Adobe launches new symbol to tag AI-generated content–but will anyone use it?
Ranked choice is a great thing. The most common implementation of it, Instant Runoff Voting, is terrible; it just throws away all preferences that aren't the top preference. So if you rank A over B over C, the fact that you prefer B over C is completely ignored unless A is eliminated. Better voting systems take all preferences into account.
Because the voting isn't the main resource required to get someone elected, it is all the time, money, and effort it takes to make a candidate known. Unlike with ranked choice or some other vote system that allows you to vote for multiple candidates, you can't put your time, money, and energy into multiple candidates at the same time. You have to split it between however many candidates you want to support, and splitting your resources like that means any one of those candidates has less of a chance than if you put your resources into a single candidate. Consciously or unconsciously, people recognize this, and so focus on a single candidate, one of two, to maximize their odds of getting their candidate elected.

It is my depressing realization after wondering the same thing as you and discovering that these alternate voting systems actually don't help, in the end, with electing someone to a position of singular power. They seem to help in other situations, though.
> If we had Condorcet voting, we would have elected much more reasonable candidates a long time ago.

I don't think that's true. Candidates, even lunatics, adapt their strategy to whatever the voting system happens to be. If a lunatic can win against a sane person in a two-party contest, I have no doubt whatsoever that a lunatic can also win under Condorcet with many more candidates.

Condorcet methods could help if the problem was that the preferences of people are not being met. But that is not the problem, that has never been the problem. The problem is that people do not know how to optimize their own self-interest and genuinely prefer simple narratives that tell them what they want to hear, or what the media they listen to tells them to think.

Garbage in, garbage out. Doesn't matter what the voting system is.
Using Factory Optimization to Peel Eggs and Improve Everything [video]
I once (around 1983) met someone who had an astrological (astronomical) watch, that showed 'time' depending on the position of the earth with respect to the zodiac. He believed that periods when a sign would appear on the horizon (and another disappear) were periods that you beter could not start another activity. I am not sure if it was one made by Jaap Venker. Jaap Venker made 1500 of these watchs which now sell for hunderds of Euro/USD.

I think having a clock that depends on the position of the earth with respect to the center of our galaxy is an interesting idea.
Without knowing the specific of their last round, does anyone have an idea of what selling at roughly 2/3 of their previous valuation likely means for their employees?

I know that VCs typically have some kind of "upside protection" in later rounds that guarantees them first money out in the event of a sale on some multiple of their investment, but I don't know what terms are common.
I agree with all of this.

I'd only add that well before Eclipse and its ilk, Java started down this path with the deep filesystem paths that made it painful to work with from the filesystem without the kind of multi-level collapsing Github does. It was a choice that pushed people towards seeing the filesystem hierarchy as a nuisance, and laying the groundwork for encouraging people to obscure it in IDEs.
Perhaps not anticipating the rise of parties is the sin.
Joules are a lot harder to reason about than watthours. I've got a 5W device that I run for three hours. How much energy did it use? Easy, 5W * 3 hours = 15Wh. How many joules did it use? 1 J = 1 wattsecond, so 5 * 60 * 60 * 3 = 54,000J = 54kJ.

for me what helped was learning some meditation techniques, practicing, learning to control my focus / observe ideas/feelings pass through and away, and then combining that with non-damaging noise at times, trying to avoid harsh high tones (such as by projecting sound at the ceiling and hearing the softened reflection and ambient sound rather). It's still good though to learn to adapt to quietness because noise can be stressing in other ways, physically or psychologically.
Personally, it's not. I'm using GitHub and I also sometimes send patches in emails.

I'm asking specifically what part of subscribing to mailing lists is the tricky part, as that's what parent mentioned. I'm not saying it's easier/harder than GitHub's workflow.
For myself, it's very "it depends".

Beeminder was helpful for smaller habits, but I'm too scared to pledge a truly painful amount of money, so the cost of failure was often too low to motivate me.

When possible, I've found that simply moving to a new setting is helpful. I can crank through tedious tasks if I go somewhere other people are being productive. I like the university library (I graduated long ago, but it's free and open to the public).

I work well when I have externally-exposed structure. I reliably make it to the gym when I have a standing appointment with a personal trainer. Working a job with a fixed schedule is easier for me than working a flexible schedule. Back in college, I struggled to keep up with homework but I almost never missed a class.

Sometimes I'm surprised at why I'm avoiding something. I thought I just hated doing the dishes, but when I added a clean/dirty marker to the dishwasher I magically started staying on top of it. Turns out the blocker wasn't the chore, it was needing to figure out whether the dishwasher was ready for dirty dishes each and every time I finished eating. Once I no longer had to assess & decide, I could simply act

Similarly, if there's a technical task on having trouble getting started with, it goes a lot easier if I just break it down into the most itty-bitty steps I can think of. Sometimes I'm not avoiding the task, but figuring out what the task is.
What I don't like about this is the redefinition of the second. The length of a second and its subdivisions is so fundamental to so much of everything in our society. Other physical quantities like speed or frequency or power all depend on it. You would have to redefine everything. Kilometers per "metric hour", "metric hertz", "metric watts-hours", you get the idea.

> There is no AM or PM with metric time.

It isn't there in standard time either. It seems to be another uniquely American thing. The only time I'm exposed to AM/PM is when reading an analog clock. Or when talking to an American.

Heck, even in US, there's "military time" that is 24-hour.

I'm thinking 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption and tsunami

"Southern Cross Cable reported that the eruption may have broken the Tonga Cable System, which connects Tonga to Southern Cross's trans-Pacific cable in Fiji.[196] Southern Cross cited a fault in the international cable 37 km (23 mi) from Nukuʻalofa, and a further fault in a domestic cable 47 km (29 mi) from Nukuʻalofa.[197] New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern had earlier stated that an undersea cable serving Tonga was affected, probably due to power cuts, and authorities were urgently attempting to restore communications.[198] The chair of the Tonga Cable System, Samiuela Fonua, stated that repair crews would not be cleared to access the site of the faults before volcanic activity ceased at Hunga Tonga; with additional preparation time necessary for the repairs, internet services could be unavailable for over two weeks after the eruption."

Show HN: I built a virtual tabletop for playing Dungeons and Dragons
Diceright is a virtual tabletop for playing dungeons and dragons with friends on the web. You can watch a quick overview of how it works here: https://tinyurl.com/diceright. And there’s a list of the main features right on the homepage.

It’s a Ruby on Rails site that makes heavy use of action cable for keeping the maps and tokens in sync for all players. On the front end, I’m using HTML canvas for the maps and a js library called fabric.js for interacting with the canvas. Otherwise, just jQuery on the front end. I optimized it all to work on mobile too.

I built this as a side project for fun over of the past couple years. It took a lot longer than expected, but it was also a lot of fun. I did all the design / UX for it too which was a struggle at first but was a great learning experience.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. Thanks!

See the thing with something like loom is it just works.

I used mono snap for a while for example.

Native apps to capture are great but they seem to get acquired.
That's basically a subset of image-based development, as seen in Smalltalk and Lisp since forever.
A couple of years ago, I started having headaches and debilitating tinnitus, and it went on for months. I was tested by audiologist - my hearing was normal. It turned out that (unbeknown to me) I became extremely anemic due to another health issue. Once I got diagnosed, and anemia was addressed, headaches and tinnitus went away.
This is a bummer. I really liked Loom. I was surprised to find some really neat video tools now by Prezi. Who else is doing good stuff around quick async collaboration?
> It's also redundant because with 2000mAh... "thousand milli" can just be eliminated, leaving us with 2Ah.

But then you'd have to do more conversions when comparing. I've seen batteries with capacities as low as 10mAh. 4 digits is still a reasonably practical number.

I wonder what level of demand there is for this. I could read books on my phone, but carry a separate e-reader because I want a larger screen that's more book-like.

Currently using a Kindle Oasis and I like the fact that it's not just a flat rectangle and has physical buttons. I wouldn't mind a bit more chunk to it, but it's easier to hold. Really liked my last Kobo but it died after just a year or so of use.
as there are countless pieces of content about how to become a profitable content creator, this seems a bit silly.

it should be safe to assume that people want to be called content creators. or at least think they do.

how often are people called content creators that don’t want to be called that? was any consideration given to why that phrase might be used?

it is far more gentle than “sell-out.” in a sense. in another, selling out suggests accomplishing something first, and then turning it to profit. whereas content creation skips a step.
So did the masses that thought money grew on trees. Masses, mainly middle class 30s-50s somethings in the 2000s, bailed out by non-property owners - non owners as they'd been priced out or were having none of the madness.

A great proportion of wealth, the greatest in US history, was accumulated by this group during the 1990s and 2000s, and has only continued to grow from the bailing out to support their pension funds directly through supporting stock prices, and indirectly with low interest rates flattening discount rates thus boosting fixed income (bond) values while (the long term interest rate being the long term return on capital) depressing return-giving growth for a decade.

The Atlantic article fails to cover this aspect: that their readership's cohort fucked everyone else.
Honest question: are you speaking from direct experience of RCV here? To me, the question of "which of these is your favorite" and "put these in order according to which is your favorite" is pretty simple. Most scenarios of "surprise" winners seem either contrived, or not very surprising.

I am very interested in the amount of negative sentiment to RCV in the zeitgeist and am trying to determine if it is coming from lived experience of issues with the voting system or from somewhere else....
They really did nail it.

Maybe it’s easier now to do but it definitely was faster than a native app locally uploading to the cloud as you record.
What are you looking to do that you can't with your PocketBook?

Regardless of hardware, the options are to play ball with lock-in and DRM schemes, to buy only DRM-free books, or to buy books wherever and strip the DRM.

I buy books from ebooks.com and then use Calibre and DeDRM to turn them into vanilla ePubs. Once you've got an ePub, just about any reader will work with it (barring older Kindles).
The 6 GHz (~Wifi 6E) of the satcom world?

> In terms of communications capability, W band offers high data rate throughput when used at high altitudes and in space. (The 71–76 GHz / 81–86 GHz segment of the W band is allocated by the International Telecommunication Union to satellite services.) Because of increasing spectrum and orbit congestion at lower frequencies, W-band satellite allocations are of increasing interest to commercial satellite operators, although no commercial project has yet been implemented in these bands.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_band

Certain frequencies in the band seem to be used for near-distance radar:

> However, W-band radar, a relative newcomer in maritime navigation and operating at 76-77GHz, provides the most impressive imagery and accuracy, which is becoming increasingly crucial in the ever more cluttered environs of offshore, nearshore, and inland waterways. It has a range of 500m and is resistant to adverse weather conditions.

With an untreated MRSA infection, you wouldn't live to your 60' or 70's. No worries.
Honestly I disagree with this pretty strongly.

First, I (and many people that I know) do get upset when an ad misrepresents a product and we get burned. It happens all the time, and people complain about it constantly. You might argue this is wasted breath, but it still happens.

I would also say that while everyone accepts that ads are at a high risk for dishonesty, the vast majority of people live their lives assuming that ads convey some useful information, even if it's just the vague intent and target audience of the product. It's easy to pick out specific genres of ads that don't seem to do this, and ad rhetoric can often be complicated and interesting, but generally speaking they do try to convey some sort of genuine information about the product.

Saying that ads are fundamentally misinformation people because they are "obviously trying to convince someone to purchase something which might actually not be good for them to buy" seems like a reasonable criticism at first glance, but actually I think that's kind of a ridiculous standard. No one except my closest friends and family have any idea what might be "good for me to buy", and I am not so against the idea of basic commerce that I think it's useful to say that someone hawking their wares is "misinforming" the public simply because they're trying to sell to strangers.

This is not to say that the ad industry isn't infested with slimy people with perverse incentives. Of course it is. But advertising itself is a basic extension of human communication, and I think it's awfully cynical to say that any attempt to show someone why they might want to buy your product is spreading misinformation. I do believe that it's okay to advocate for something, and then let people decide for themselves if they agree. If it's not, then nearly all human discourse is an exercise in misinformation.

Zipping the patch kind of works around the issue but introduces probable workflow-incompatibilities, maintainers expect the patch itself in the email, not a compressed archive of the patch.

Re sending patches in email clients without using send-email, some clients (famously Outlook) try to be "helpful" and for example remove blank lines (double or single, don't remember) for example and will corrupt the patch in the process.

Have you ever heard the word "half-pair"?
I do! The one here is BBEdit which you can extend by writing - ready for this? - command line programs. It didn’t come with a built-in JavaScript formatted, so I wrote a shell script that runs Prettier on its input, and told BBEdit to run that script when I hit F1. Voila. JavaScript formatting. It’s also incredibly fast and responsive.

If I can’t get it working to write Python the way I want, I’m going back to Emacs. It’s not a “native” Mac app, but doesn’t fall into the uncanny valley the way things like VSCode do.
