You guys aren't wrong. I believe it was Ben Franklin who famously said, when asked of the new government in the US, what kind it was, he replied, "A republic, if you can keep it." Any democracy is, obviously, only as just or as free as its electorate. As George Carlin pointed out in one of his standups, "If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Garbage in, garbage out."

My point is, however, that one man alone cannot be strong enough to bring it all down. There is enough distribution of power for the system to be robust. By irony, the very political tribalism which is ubiquitously hated and lamented by pundits itself creates a sort of political competition; there is very high incentive to hold the other party or incumbent(s) accountable when they abuse their power or make mistakes, as this benefits themselves politically. Of course, the downside to this system, as we've witnessed in recent years, is that both parties are quick to criticize the other side for their sins, but once in power they commit the very same sins with no self-awareness of the hypocrisy. Although, I wonder how much of that is due to McConnell and the GOP's loose morals, vs. the GOP itself being nigh unrecognizable from what it once was. The party of Reagan, Bush, and Romney is no more; the latter of which I was just reading, described in the press as a "pariah within his own party."
I think we all can agree that this article is not based on a proper comparison between Tailwind CSS and what the author calls “semantic CSS”. I understand, from authors’ comments here, that it does not aim to be a perfect copy. But arguing that it is 1-3% off, is just BS.

The big problem for me, that the author also argues that the Tailwind CSS version is an official template and, therefore, it has to follow best practices.

I think this logic is flawed, since in production (and especially if I sell templates online) I aim for readable code, which may result in more markup used. Anyone, who knows Tailwind CSS well, could copy the author’s version of the site with the same HTML markup and achieve the same output. Only then it would be a fair comparison, and I bet the results would not be the same at all.
Is "well known" an absolute quantity?
Considering how Apple is getting extremely cozy with ICT or known as Luxshare. I am not surprised Foxconn is finally getting the stick.
I'm surprised they're not keeping 2G GSM/GPRS for legacy applications. E.g. considering the life time of cars, for an eCall-like[1] solution having a network that'll be available for a few decades would make sense; or user-replacable modules.

For smart meters I had to prepare a network cable into our new main fuse box; but IIUC we won't be getting one of these, for now it's just a requirement.

What? Is a ZIP file not binary because it’s not a valid tar.gz file? Text just means “something that can be printed” and by this definition not even all valid ASCII sequences are text.

Orange PI 5 Plus is faster (10% faster single threaded, 200% faster multicore per Geekbench) and also supports up to 32GB of memory. It has decent support, but not anything like the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. So if you want a SBC that is fast for special well defined projects, go with Orange PI 5 Plus, but if you want one for arbitrary hobby projects with tons of support everywhere, go with the Raspberry Pi series.
Or basically never. I don't think I've ever not self-reported the meter readings.
Am I wrong that in that article magma appears to do better? Particularly in the last two (red-blind and grayscale), it seems like viridis looks the same for large parts of the scale, while magma retains its distinction.
Just ignore Palestine from original argument
Hmm... I do see it, but when I left my comment last night it would seem I had been looking at the grayscale version of the color noise image by mistake. I can still make it out in the blue noise image but it's quite a bit more eyestrain-inducing.
Is it a good idea to use quantum resistant crypto algorithm on-top of more established/widespread algorithms like RSA/ECDSA? I don't feel comfortable using quantum resistant crypto due to how cutting edge it all is.
from my admittedly limited knowledge of the Nordics, they are much more collectivist than Americans.

For example, Swedes have it drilled into their heads from an early age that "everyone deserves a home". This is not the case in America, where "poor people deserve to be poor because they're lazy, cut welfare, universal health care is socialism" is an acceptable statement, and in fact the basically party line for one of the two major political parties.
That's not how warranties work in the U.S..

If you do something to Part A, it doesn't void the warranty to Part B unless the manufacturer can prove it did.

If you unplug the cellular antenna, that should not affect the physical characteristics of the engine for example.

Companies can claim anything they want such as 'warranty void if you remove this sticker' (or not responsible for damage), but that does not automatically make it true. A Supreme Court opinion even said "warranty void if removed" stickers might even be illegal, but they would need a case to come to them before they can determine that.
LibreComputer boards are some of the best supported ones that just run standards Debian/Ubuntu ARM builds
Untrue. Service providers that wish to benefit from the DMCA liability safe harbor must indeed have policies in place to terminate repeat infringers, and must reasonably implement those policies (so not just written policies they ignore).

Source: 17 USC 512(i)(1)(A)

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512

Of course, these policies are not required by the law to count fake infringement claims toward the evaluation of whether a user is a repeat infringer, even though many do. So Shopify could add a “was this legit?” element to their repeat infringer policy in order to mostly or entirely negate the impact of fake claims, possibly with human review before termination. That’s more work than most companies at their scale want to put into making sure their strike system is equitable.
In the US at least, you can look up the fccid: https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid

In a lot of cars, this will be an identical board (since the manufacturer only wants to certify one vs many of them). This gives you at least a start of what to look for.
PLC-enabled smart meters ("Linky") are the norm in France. I am pretty sure I also heard multiple times that PLC was used to transmit some data to equipment along high-voltage lines.
Fairly easy to do with internet traffic as well. It's non-zero but more most people not likely a meaningful decrease in their privacy.
This is cool! I'd love to see something similar for books, long-form articles, etc. - really anything I can listen to or read that helps to get a feeling for a place.
>public servants

I doubt the likes of Ursula, who come form extremely privilege backgrounds and have been groomed since childhood for high ranking leadership positions, see themselves as being any kind of "servants".

The term come from the days when public servants were elected from the general public, but those days are long gone and now we're bickering which members of the wealthy elite do we elect to screw us over for 4+ years without any accountability or repercussions.
Again. This is purely a matter of taste. I personally prefer the semantic approach.

ADT in the US already did this, funny enough.

They acquired a company called CellBounce (https://cellbounce.com/) that manufactures a very small 3G-LTE gateway. They bind it to a single device (eg, locking it to an alarm panel's IMSI) and pass the authentication through to AT&T to allow the panel onto the LTE network. Most of the device itself is just a giant lead acid battery, and the actual CellBounce motherboard is... actually very low component count and tiny.

The actual Qualcomm femtocell board (linked below) that they built as a reference design for the chipset is... amazingly tiny.

Thank god it has many instances you can use some of which even get around the PG censorship.
I read that as acknowledging that it was personifying (or animalifying rather) the group, a group doesn't really have an intelligence level to go up or down, to get smarter, but we know what we mean by that so it's a useful shorthand, but hence the scare-quotes.

Not saying I'm necessarily right, just that was my interpretation before I saw your comment.
This is true, or was true until Apple released the M1 / M2 chips.
The European Commission should’ve implemented visas for the US as they require visas from some of the EU’s members.

They made Canada waive visa for all members by threatening to impose visas on Canadians, but are too chicken to do the same with the US.

The EU parliament has voted that it should be done multiple times, but the Commission refuses to act.
It's called ocean "acidification" for some reason, but in fact the ocean is alkaline and is becoming closer to neutral pH. (down from 8.15 to 8.05, neutral is 7)

It's far from "slowly becoming battery acid".
This is great!

I've been making a lot of tools in this similar vein. I've been keeping them in my dotfiles.

I've got plt [0], a simple matplotlib templating language built with Python Lex Yacc for making quick plots from CSVs , eg,

cat data.csv | plt '[a_version_count, b_version_count], date { plot 1px [solid blue, solid red] }' > plot.png

There's a plugin format so you can make extensions like bleep [1]:

plt 'a_version_count, date { bleep blop blip green 10 } --py' > bleep_plotter.py
cat data.csv | python3 bleep_plotter.py > bleep_plot.png

To create a plugin xyz, just call it "xyz_template.py" and put it in ~/dotfiles/plt. Outputs to Python code are optional but useful for minor adjustments.

(Does plt look familiar? Can you tell I just read the latest version of The Awk Programming language?)

Or I was reading The Unix Programming Environment (1982) and being inspired by the pick command, wired up electron to allow for STDIN/OUT/ARGV in the browser context, for what I'm calling elec [2]:

elec textarea -x 300 -y 0 | elec pick -x 300 -y 600 | awk '{ print $0 " " $0 }'

Again, to create a plugin xyz, and in this case all elec commands are plugins, add "xyz.html" to ~/dotfiles/elec, as seen with the pick [3] plugin.

ANYWAYS, where I'm going with this instead of,

cat staff.xml | ppp custom -N xpath -O path='./Animal/Age'

How about?

cat staff.xml | ppp xpath -O path='./Animal/Age'

Convention over configuration!

Again, this tool is great, it's already in my dotfiles and I've already used it at work this morning, so thank you!

Yeah, definitely an alternative that is worth to switch to
I’ve contributed to this project, and we use it in production at work! It’s great. Brandon is very nice, and I really appreciate all the work that has been put into this.
Defense-in-depth is always best practice in security. The more layers the attacker has to break and the harder each layer is, the better. All layers can and will be broken.

Apple has spent a long time hardening the JavaScriptCore web sandbox to run untrusted code. We’ve come a long way since JailbreakMe’s web-based jailbreak, but ultimately memory safety requires participation from all parts of the stack and JavaScriptCore and V8 are still both written in C++. You can trigger memory-safety vulnerabilities in the host VM using guest code.

wasmtime is supposedly a hardened WebAssembly runtime written in Rust, but it’s also a JIT, and I have no idea if anyone has put it through its paces security-wise yet. The idea is that WebAssembly can have JIT-like performance without JIT-like security concerns thanks to a simpler translation layer and minimal runtime.

I could see an argument for dropping some layers if the VM isolation become stronger
C4 for housing would be:

* Have a high level blueprint of the house for typical humans.

* Have a detailed blueprint of the house for contractors.

* Have a circuit diagram for the utility systems like electricity

* (Optional) Have a detailed specification for every plug and fixture etc.

Basically, have a diagram for every level that will be notably unique or useful to have for the system. If you need a code level diagram, either you're doing some complicated custom work or most likely over specifying the design that can be left as an implementation detail.
It is clearly stated that the points are something to consider, not the they are strictly true. Is there something of value that you are trying to add here?
I use libre at home and excel at work. Having worked in various departments of a somewhat regulated industry, I can say that the value of Excel comes from familiarity and 'not having to retrain everyone'. It seems silly to people like me, but I personally experienced a person unable to complete their daily routine, because version change moved from one menu to another.

I guess my point it is: it is not features. It is humans. MS cracked the code on that one. Get people familiar with their stuff and the rest will follow.
Yeah, McAdam, the dev pace is amazing!
Afaik Ship of Theseus is replacing parts incrementally until eventually no part is from the original ship. This is more like taking the ship, building an exact copy of it and then throwing away the original ship. Not sure that thought experiment is applicable.
How to Be Surprisingly Likeable
I haven't found this info in the FAQ, but it would be interesting to know how large that PMTiles file is for a medium-sized country.

It seems to be a really attractive way of self-hosting maps that don't have to be 100% up to date and are only used in a specific region. "Recompiling" that file once a year and uploading it to a static file hoster would be an easy process with very little external dependencies.

Edit: Found the official download link[1] for the whole world, which is a bit over 100 GB. So I guess the answer to my question would be "hundreds of MB to a few GB", which seems totally fine.

The problem with C is that it has the same problem as hardware development but people blame the developer instead. With HDLs you have both simulation and synthesis and these two can have different behaviour, exactly like C.

The primary difference however is that say VHDL's std_ulogic type explicitly encodes what is considered undefined behaviour in C such as accessing uninitialised memory. So called U and X propagation turns expressions that depend on uninitialised values into U and X respectively. This means that your simulation tells you where the undefined behaviour is lurking. You can still synthesize your buggy hardware, nobody is stopping you, but it's not hidden.

Meanwhile with C you get into the "when did you stop beating your wife" scenario, where you are assumed guilty until proven innocent.

The IT side of manufacturing is a total nightmare. My employer just bought brand new CNC machines which shipped with windows XP controllers.

OP is having problems because he is a "random" Shopify customer.

If non-Western actors targeted the top 1,000 Shopify stores with an automated system --> I imagine it would get fixed sooner.
My wife was hit by this a week or two ago for a reservation in Toronto. She entered her credit card info. Everything looked very legit because her reservation information was listed. The Url was off. Can't remember exactly what it was, but think it had a booking.com maybe as a subdomain. (She cancelled her CC.)

That is what laws and regulations are for.
Perhaps because this a strawman formulation of the difference, as if it's roads vs boats.

Countries have disputes and go to wars with their neighbors, and neighboring areas are historically mixed populations, which drives tensions as to who owns what, and such, often resolved in wars (which are seldom one sided: historically the offending sides alternate). And usually those countries are of the same or similar development stage, plus they have to live close together, as populations, so enslavement is rarely if ever the case, nor is it made about racial inferiority.

So, yeah, "the neighboring warlord who arriving on a horse" is not some 10-100x stronger and richer global power coming to the other side of the world to make your people slaves, considers you racially inferior, displays you in human zoos, and even declares open season and hunts you like animals, while they steal your resources...

So there's that.
There are several comments from people who don't see the point of smart meters, or think that it's just about removing the need for meter readers.

There are two important things that can only be done via smart meters:

- Time-of-use tariffs, which are aligned to the cost of energy production. For example, Octopus Tracker (https://octopus.energy/smart/tracker/) has an energy price set daily based on the wholesale rate. This is (on average) cheaper for customers, and cheaper for the supplier (because they don't need to spend as much on hedging).

- Demand shifting, so customers can be paid or get discounts for reducing electricity usage when the load on the grid is high. The UK did this over last winter, and led to a peak energy reduction of 188MW (about 10% of the UK's coal power generation capacity). There's a report at https://octoenergy-production-media.s3.amazonaws.com/documen...

Both are ways of aligning the cost and environmental impact of energy with its price, and both become increasingly important as a higher percentage of energy is generated from variable renewable sources.
There were no ancient computers and it's fine
That's definitely an awesome mindset.

Marriage was not just for the wealthy and nobles in the Middle Ages, or in the 1800s or in subsaharan Africa, etc.

In the Middle Ages, children were an investment. You fed them and clothed them and raised them for just a few years before they started to pay off. As soon as they were physically able to walk and listen to instructions, children began to work, usually on the family farm.

This human capital that a couple could grow themselves made marriage and child-rearing a highly profitable activity. It led to generational wealth, which marriage existed to secure and apportion.

This is no longer true in modern city life. Children are a luxury good, not capital. They don’t produce any wealth for their parents. They simply consume enormous resources until they move out and start their own independent lives.
Just for curiosity, could I ask you why ?
As far as I'm aware, Shor's Algorithm is still unfeasible because it requires far more qubits than currently available to execute in any reasonable time. It'd require several million qubits, while the most cutting-edge devices currently only have a couple of hundreds at best.

I wouldn't worry too much about post-quantum algorithms for any production code in the next couple of years (decades?) myself.
It needs to be two way as the power company is better able to coordinate the limited surplus with everyone else. I don't care if my water is heated at 10pm, midnight or 2am, I just want warm water for my shower when i get up.
Matter 1.2 – New device types and improvements
Hey, I got into more details in my internal discussion with the researcher and previous post, but around the time we determined we couldn't replicate it, we got a similar report leading me to believe this was already closed. I didn't believe there was something the whole time. It was a mix-up on my side, and I'm sorry about it.
I'm the owner of said commercial company.

LLCs in this context signal "This company has no outside investors", because almost every venture-backed technology company will be organized as a C Corporation instead.

I am choosing to run this open source project through a commercial company - that enables me to have a bank account, use GitHub Sponsors, pay others for work, and enter in support and development contracts with other companies and the public sector. Non-profit foundations like US 501(c)(3) aren't practical to create for solo developers.
I wonder if we could produce some toys for Orcas and then offer these to them to induce bonding, then try communicating.
If you were on forums in the aughts, it was unavoidable. I think every very online millennial knows what Goatse is. The youngest millennial is 27. Which begs the question: is Goatse what spreads Zoomers and millennials apart?
Good grief, yes. We have an entire set of procedures that actually state not to open the newly generated CSV files, because of this.
The big benefit is taxation: it allows for net-metering with the surplus sold at a low rate to be bought back at a much higher one. Obviously this was the plan all along...
If a few people pursue a lawsuit against them I'm pretty sure they'll get more responsive. TBH Google is notoriously awful to communicate with - I don't know if you've ever dealt with one of their B2B products but they even hate talking to companies that pay them 10k a year.

Ask HN: Why programmers don't write well?
The vast majority of comments in codebases are all lowercase without punctuation like the dot at the end. Why? I can imagine that in the times of PDP-11 the keyboard was terrible but nowadays this is hardly an issue.
Exactly.

Hypothesis 2: this is why you have a lot of anti-capitalistic talk among tech folk.

The whole concept of "anyone can replicate my product, but I got here first, so i have to use lock-ins and other ethically questionable things if I want to keep my spot" is antithetical to the goals of capitalism i.e companies out-competing each other constantly, leading to better and better products.

The equilibrium with monopolies that is possible under capitalism is reached really, really easily in tech. Because being a monopoly/locking-in, not open sourcing, etc, is the only way you can be a big tech company.

In my opinion, industries with low barriers of entry are fundamentally incompatible with - atleast the current flavor of - capitalism, if you use user harm as the metric.
My understanding is some of the LLM tooling is heading in this direction like Langchain and Open Interpreter are working on a screenshot to agent action function capability. Hot space !!
