Hardware today isn't worse per se. Back then we a music player, a phone, and a camera. Each form / UX specific to the problem being solved.

Now we have a single device that solves all three and more (e.g., biometrics) in albeit a least common denominator sorta way. A single form can't expect to complete with specialists.

I prefer a crap device that I use for comms (phone and SMS), and a second device with a better camera and more storage for media that only connects via wifi. There are plenty of instances I want a camera and/or music (often without even wifi) but not the temptation of being full connected.
Curly braces are optional and equivalent to indentation but you have to use semicolons if you use curly braces.

The docs are sorely lacking, but there is good test coverage though, so you may refer to tests for examples:

> You don't pay advertisers with Google

Of course you do. That’s the whole point of ads. Where do you think the money comes from?

Ads manipulate you in order to spend more on the advertised products. The consumer ends up paying for them.
Yeah, here is where TLA+ fails to gain adoption, because it is only a model, how people actually implement the architecture is completely unrelated to how the model was validated.
> Parliament, under the same theories, cannot alter any laws - parliament suggests laws to the monarch who grants them according to their caprices ...

Wrong, under those theories, Parliament can absolutely alter laws (this requires, of course, royal assent, but the monarch is a component of Parliament not separate from it in theory, even aside from the fact that this function is now essentially ministerial in terms of its performance by the monarch in both practice and constitutional theory.)

We never found a workflow that fully replaced taking turns drawing on a (shared) whiteboard.

Some people found the tools really pretty usable, so for them it was great for drawing a quick sketch and sharing with people, but it was always a bit clunky compared to physical pens. Oddly (perhaps?) some of the team were very self-conscious about drawing while others watched, more so than in person.

After a while we realized that some of the team was disengaging from the rest of conversation while sketching, in a way that noodling on paper didn't' seem to. Maybe because they were in a different physical space, so when eyes were focused on the drawing, there wasn't really much connection (other than audio)

Scaling is a problem in than nothing on a monitor seems to work as well on multiple scales as a big ass whiteboard. I mean, you can certainly represent more scales digitally, but you are pan-and-zooming all the time. The "single picture" part didn't seem to work as well.

Another thing is that we never found a digital place that has the same mental priority as big whiteboard in the common area. There was a lot of "where did we put that, is it attached to meeting or on the folder X or ...

On the whole I thought it was more positive than negative, but over time they were definitely being used less and less.

A couple of the team absolutely loved them for diagramming and completely replaced other tools for that.

To be fair, it was a "forced experiment" during covid lockdowns initially, so could certainly have been executed better.

Not surprised at all. Hamas itself publicly said it would stop receiving funding via bitcoin

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-armed-wing-a...

Bitcoin has an open ledger and hence can be easily traced by intelligence agencies. Couple that with KYC/AML laws around crypto onramps and the potential to use Bitcoin for money laundering drops drastically.
We need more fat kernels and less libcs, libc ties us forcibly to the C legacy. Time for more type safe and richer interfaces with the kernel.
Rural Japan is absolutely beautiful, I've travelled extensively there. The bullet trains are wonderful, but try going somewhere only the local trains go!

If you like biking, the Shimanami Kaido is unsurpassed.

https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3478.html

Goes over multiple huge suspension bridges, grade-separated from the car traffic. In between the bridges you can explore the small towns on the islands in between.

To get there, go to Onomichi

https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3475.html

which is a small city well worth visiting in and of itself. I recommend staying the night there, if you stay overnight in places that tourists usually day-trip to you get to see another side of the city. And when you're ready to hit the bike trail, you can rent bikes right there.

Further east, the Yamanobe Road is beautiful --

https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4189.html

imagine walking all day through the set of My Neighbor Totoro, brought to life. Small towns, temples and shrines, mountain paths, small cities, and you'll walk by plenty of farms too. Easy to get to from Kyoto or Nara.

Further off the beaten path I recommend the Shikoku Henro Trail:

https://shikoku-tourism.com/en/shikoku-henro/shikoku-henro

If you have two months, walking the entire thing is the experience of a lifetime. But you can also spend just a few days (or one day) on the trail. I recommend starting at Temple #1 (they're numbered, this will be in Naruto, in the NE corner of Shikoku) and hiking for a day or a few days.

Japanese onsen -- hot springs -- are a great experience, look for a rotemburo, or open-air bath. Unfortunately most of these tend to be very off the beaten path, pretty well inaccessible by mass transit. But if you find one in your path, go!

You and your son are in for a treat. Enjoy!
"t forget entertainment, I always seem to hear mostly american songs being played "

Nope. You don't get the reason why these songs are played. It's more jazz in a lift, not good music. Let me introduce into techno culture.

"Also food: While other countries can compete on one of their native cuisines or many a few more, the US is pumping out top tier chefs in multiple areas."

Germany alone has more stars than the whole US
I don't disagree this is the reality. What I am trying to say, is that I hope the people who dole out taxpayer funds can spot people like Dr. Karikó and support them.

Let me try a sports analogy. In American football, each team takes turns (rounds) to draft new players. There are college players who are already famous, had fantastic careers at the college level, and all the scouting agencies said they are can't miss. Then there are college players who played for unknown schools and the scouts don't even have a grade for them. As a result, teams dedicate the first three rounds drafting the players everyone says are can't miss (the good fundraiser in the Academic world). However, the great teams are the ones who can find the hidden gems and draft unknowns in later rounds because they can see the talent (the hypothetical talent scout who spotted the potential of messenger RNA research 20 years ago).
That's simply not true. It may not be happening to your friends & family, but it happens frequently. One high profile flash point is oil drilling & facilities, which in Colorado can be built as close to your house as 500 feet.

sesame oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, and palm oil have the same caloric density as olive oil, are roughly as digestible, and have been cheap and cultivated by humans for far longer than the obesity pandemic. i'd mention suet and lard, too, but it turns out that those have somewhat lower digestibility, so i don't want to confuse the discussion

by contrast, sugary foods commonly have about the same caloric density as healthy foods

so i think caloric density is clearly an important factor (you won't get fat by pigging out on lettuce and tomatoes unless you add salad dressing) but the comment i was rebutting gave the following simple, clear, and wrong explanation of the obesity pandemic

> I think the primary cause of the obesity epidemic is the widespread availability of cheap calorie dense food and a few hundred million years of evolution devoted to making biological machines designed to consume as much calorie dense food as they could find

and that just isn't an accurate description of the situation
Considering that the linked study doesn't even bother defining e-bike, and the study setting is China, I am unwilling to imbue the report with the meaning that you intend.
> Most places in the US has Apple Pay broken sticker on them

Citation needed. At least in my experience, over the last 12 months, the last time I saw "Apple Pay broken" was at one location, affected all tap-to-pay, and lasted for maybe 2 days.
It's a state issue.

The flash of inconsistency you see is because the client eagerly modifies state before the server persists it (or some form of this problem).

The routing issue is because the application (SPA) is using business logic to control the browser's navigation state. Sometimes opening a modal will be a new push on to the nav stack so you can hit back, sometimes it isn't, sometimes they forget things, etc..

All of it though is just too much state being managed on the client by the application and that state being managed poorly. This isn't only related to React. It's always been possible to screw up with managing state in any framework.

I dont think it's about threshold. It's about some consequences being ok to apply and some not being ok. But some of the ok ones may actually be bigger than some of the not-ok ones. For instance the love of your life breaking up with you. That's big. But ok. Or a $20 fine. That's small. But not ok.
Back when lomo was popular (still got mine, somewhere) I played around with drilling a tiny hole in a film SLR body cap and turning it into a pinhole camera. That produced some fun results.
Hi, just wanted to say that I walked through this and it's really neat. I'm running it all through WSL on a reasonably powerful laptop (ASUS G14) and performance has been buttery so far. I especially want to commend you on the clear, simple-to-use UX and UI. This will definitely fill a niche for me at work if I have to use an underpowered jumpbox to test internal web applications.

One UX point: I may have missed this, but when I start an injection attack, it would be nice to see a real-time table of the output so that I can see which injections have been tried (kind of like how you can see it in Burp Suite with Logger++ or the sub-window that opens up when you start an Intruder attack). Totally respect a conscious choice to not go down this (potentially) resource-intensive 'view', but curious if that's on the roadmap. Right now I just get a spinning animation after I hit Run, and I don't see any output in the sidebar where it says "Scans will be shown here once they have started".

In all honesty, I probably will stick with Burp Suite for my bread-and-butter web app testing flow (also helps that my org pays for a Pro license), but I want to thank you for the effort put into this and the courage to explore a new modality (web app testing without a resource-heavy proxy tool like Burp).
Am I weird that my first thought about a 128 core CPU is all the scrolling in htop?
I am no longer allowed to buy anything at Ikea. The web site declines both my credit card and debit card. I called my credit card company, and no issues there. I called Ikea and tried to order through a person, but my cards were also declined that way. They can't give me any explanation. This happened in 2019 and again the next time I tried in 2021.
Thank you for the answers, and best of luck with this product.
Yep... I programmed PLC's for periods of my career. I could write about this until my fingers fall off, but in short:

Rust and C code can also operate in strict real-time embedded environments provided some basic rules are followed like "no dynamic memory allocation". This done all the time.

If one follows hard real-time coding standards like Misra C or "JPL real-time C" (and these standards can also be applied to Rust, Zig, Ada, etc.) the code will run deterministically on a given target... just like PLC code running is not necessarily any more deterministic than C code (no dynamic allocation) running on an embedded processor. In fact, many PLC's today run a "PLC code execution" engine on top of a real-time operating system like QNX (which I think is mostly C code). Even in some older PLC's, it is still C firmware that's interpreting and running the PLC code.

PLC programming "languages" (ladder logic, FBD, CFC) were designed for their programming audience, who are not software engineers. It is difficult to represent complex logic and numerical code in these languages and that limits the sophistication of algorithms that can be implemented on these systems. For instance: try writing a model predictive control routine in ladder logic; I think it could be done but I'd lose my remaining hair doing it.

PLC Structured Text is very similar to Pascal and pretty capable, but folks generally don't write model predictive control algorithms in Structured Text either.

It is hard to orchestrate multiple PLC to run as a cohesive, deterministic unit. The interfaces between PLC often need to be kept simple and sometime this communication is less real-time. Things are a lot more advanced in cluster computing.

The limitations of current PLC architectures is already a pain point for complex control system, like large robotic manufacturing lines or optimal control of HVAC in large buildings)... and it's going to get worse as performance demands increase. Again, as mentioned above, I think Beckhoff and B&R are further along the evolutionary path than others in the industry.
Carbon tax fixes this?
American universities are a fantastic scheme. I'm working on a project right now to see if I can bring this to high schools. They're a massive machine to move money from taxpayers into certain organizations very effectively. That's why you'll see that the loudest voices for student loan forgiveness go to these universities. Come on, you have a Divinities degree from Harvard? That's a fictional thing. Of course you're advocating for student loan debt discharge by the taxpayers. Ideally, if you're running the university, everyone gets $1 m to spend on university, and you charge $1 m.

Once we get school vouchers going we can do that for high school too. It's going to be a revolution, man. Pure money printing.

And what's anyone going to try to say? You can't touch US universities or schools. Education is important! I think I could probably give one or two poor kids a scholarship and trot them out every now and then.
No. The front is a huge; tens of kilometers deep and hundreds of kilometers long. You would need a stupid number of AA guns and crews to cover it all. The idea is fast hunter UAV that could sweep large areas and respond quickly to enemy UAVs.

Lean4 looks like a great language. Has anyone used it in production capacity for "normal" products/applications?
> The antitrust fights against Microsoft I think were a big reason why IE and Word ended up coming to MacOS.

Word was on Mac in 1985, Windows in 1989. There was an earlier version of Word for DOS.

Excel was on Mac first in 1985, and on Windows in 1987.
In the short term, flexible power production like coal generation gets used to satisfy grid demand during situations with abnormally high power requirements. It has the benefit of being able to be turned on and off practically instantly. There is no economic incentive to build out sustainable generative capacity if it won't be running all the time, and balancing the load on renewable power is awkward (see power price rate inversions for examples of utilities paying people to use excess energy).

I remain unconvinced that cryptocurrency is long term detrimental to clean power generation infrastructure. Quite the contrary, the existence of cryptocurrency to mine acts as a 'productive' sink for power produced in excess of grid baselines. In practice, our entire grid could be renewables in excess of peak demand, and cryptocurrency mining a flexible network load. It could quite possibly get us off of non-clean energy entirely.
Or, like the original post said, use Tailscale, which can punch a hole through the NAT for you.

Except, family and friends isn't the target here. It's large-ish, professional organizations with a lot more surface area and visibility than your family email server. I've run this kind of friends/family setup, but I've also run a small org setup with a lot more visibility. It's definitely two different beasts... and that was a decade ago.
That’s a creative re-framing.

Sadly, the realization that you are not going to be a rockstar but a gear collector is likely to trigger a midlife crisis.

https://sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html#fk_enable

Judging by the documentation, if you issue a PRAGMA foreign_keys; and no row is returned containing a 0 or 1, then you are using an unsupported version of SQLite, or the library was compiled with foreign key support disabled. I am struggling to find any documentation that states if anything will occur if enabling foreign keys in the connection string, when the version does not support foreign keys.
This is probably not true of modern naturally aspirated cars. Maybe they could lean out the mixture a little to get a bit more efficiency on higher octane, but they largely can't leverage the higher octane fuel as well as a car with an electronically controlled turbocharger system.

>They are designed for high octane gas
The vast majority of modern engines are designed for 87 octane, and not downrated to 87 octane, because that would give you poorer performance than a clean sheet 87 octane design, and single digit percentages matter here.
They had most of their (unique) equipment stolen a year before NYC Ghosts & Flowers was released[0], so they used whatever they had in their studio and put out an experimental album. Not my favourite record (Washing Machine and Daydream Nation for me), but I don't think it's that bad. Their later releases were also pretty good and the "really experimental" SYR stuff is quite interesting as well IMO.

I'd also like to know. I'm always very interested in what people who move from blue -> red have to say about this, whether they notice any kind of connection between the fact that the blue state is undesirable and the red state is more desirable, and if they continue voting blue in the red state, how exactly they'll reconcile that and rest assured the same doom won't befall that state.

The Model 3 is a compact car @ 3,862 to 4,048 lbs, so it would comparable to an Accord rather than a Civic. A Honda accord is 3,239 to 3,280 lbs, so the Model 3 is obviously a few hundred pounds heavier (from 600 - 800 lbs).

I think it's reasonable to ask if the Japanese arbitrage actually ever took place, particularly at the scale he claimed it did. It comes off a lot like Charles Ponzi's postal coupon story.

Does knowing an AI can do something reduce our enjoyment of doing that thing ourself? I don't know if we have enough data/experience to say.

An example in my own life: an AI I'm sure can perform a piano piece (via MIDI) better than I can, but I've literally never considered this has any bearing on how much I like paying piano.
Elon 'Back to the Office' Musk Called in Remotely to First X All-Hands
I never really understood why the accessories were Lightning in the first place. They're intended to be Mac peripherals; if you can charge your Mac, you should be able to juice up your accessories with the same cable. It feels like USB-C was only used for Thunderbolt, and Lightning was pushed even places where it wasn't beneficial.

It also wasn't the end of the world, though. I use my Magic Trackpad plugged-in most of the time, so I just carry the Lightning cable as a dedicated connector. It's still bizarre and annoying though, the sooner they settle on USB-C the better.
Every ad / design agency I’ve worked for engages in this practice. Futhermore, in the large corporate rebranding exercises I’ve witnessed approximately 75% of the engagement consists of make-work designed to justify the price.
