Back in its early days, I used to maintain a few articles on Wikipedia. Then the admins got full of themselves.

Wikipedia is a valuable resource, and it does need editors. However, some people get drunk on a little power, and that us exactly the type of person attracted to this kind of unpaid role.

It wasn't worth dealing with them 15 years ago, and it sounds like it has only gotten worse...
I am not sure what emergency savings has to do with retirement savings. Retirement savings are often not very liquid, so they wouldn't be available to use in an emergency, typically.

And certainly some people never did manage to save $600,000 over the past 40 years, but it remains that the bar does not seem that high. Even the lowest bar will not be met by some people, but that doesn't mean the bar is high.
Nuclear power doesnt store energy. It will pump out 2GW all the time whether you need 6GW or you need 0GW. It doesn't really help in that respect at all because it can't be scaled up and down. It's not a peaker.

Seasonal variation is best dealt with by creating and storing hydrogen underground. It's easy to store lots of MWhs this way. This isnt as efficient as a battery or pumped storage when roundtripped (~50% not 90%) but if seasonal variation is 4-7% of your power then that just means you'll have to overproduce in aggregate by 10-20% to accommodate this. That's not really a problem given how dirt cheap solar and wind are - about that much is being lost to curtailment already.

The funny thing is, even if all electricity generated by solar and wind were stored as gas before being used it would still work out a bit cheaper than nuclear power. Nuclear is that expensive.
They can't even get the legal system to function, how are they going to fix ALL corporations?

Some of best examples are the juvenile and and family court systems in a state like Ohio. Not only do they not even TRY to do what is fair or right, they have one simple mandate, pay for their own existence. As soon as the system set up to punish children is made to profit off those same children you have a sick and broken system but thats where we are today. So, VERY little chance we are going to convince a company to make less money for the social good when even out children's courts are run like a business.
Those were Paywall bypassing tools. 12ft.io was shut down one week ago and 1ft.io still works.

It occurs to me some sort of labeling system really should be part of the standard.

I was thinking it could be as simple as colored bands (with maybe dots/dashes for those color blind folks).

If such a standard could be adopted, it would make all our lives less of a headache….
Be forwarned, when I bought one, I had to email back and forth for a couple weeks with Xilinx and sign some legal stuff before they would ship it, even within the US. Might've been ITAR but they wanted to be really sure I wasn't going to build a guided missile with it.
I still have all my Coherent manuals and disks. I still referenced the manual for years after I moved on to Linux.
All but one of mine. The one has a plastic braid "protecting" the cable, which hides any potentially useful markings.

I just had to go through the "do I have any good HDMI cables" dance, and the answer was effectively no.
The point of contention here is not really the license change, but the CLA attached to it. Basically, if you write code for Synapse/Dendrite, submit it to the project, and sign the CLA, the (for-profit) Element Foundation may relicense your code under a proprietary license. It's intended to keep contributions from proprietary clients coming without them fleeing the ship because they see the four letter word AGPL.
People sometimes hit other people with a bone of the upper arm, for humerus effect.
That's a good point. The mass media and elite media really use different language, which is an additional obstacle. They don't seem to be a part of the same structure, and are presented to be at odds.

I am reminded how Chomsky described the 1930s, that working class people were often pretty well-read. The above divide seems to help in maintaining the ignorance.
Was replying saying mostly this. I stay away from most of that kind of stuff and work in embedded-type space mostly, but when I have ventured in there, it all kind of makes a certain amount of sense as modules that layer relatively independent of each other. Because, well, most things interoperate via Rest or gRPC or whatever, without a lot of coupling.

The problem with the JS/TS/Node ecosystem is the cultural tendency there to build and proselytize frameworks. Heavily coupling seems to be seen as a positive rather than negative.
What I think you’re seeing (and calling out in one group) is cognitive dissonance/protecting delusion, and trying to maintain group ideological boundaries and ‘purity’. When challenged, the lines will firm up and membership ‘policed’. Normal group dynamics.

The US went through similar levels of disruption in the late 60’s and early mid 70’s.

It isn’t just ‘woke’. you see the same reaction in other circles if you bring up vaccines, or gun control, or Jan 6th, or birth control, or religion, or global warming (less so now), etc.

Attempts to bring in information that conflicts with the core beliefs causes something like an emotional allergic reaction. Changing any of these core beliefs is near impossible when someone is in this state, as it pushes them into more overload. With a similar almost allergic reaction.

Most folks in these situations can’t have a rational discussion about them because the reason they are believing them is attached to a fundamental safety thing (deep emotional), not a rational knowledge thing.

Or as I’ve heard before (and seen play out) - ‘you can’t reason someone out of a problem they didn’t reason themselves into’.

As you’re pointing out I think, it’s too much for them to figure out, they get overwhelmed, and start lashing out.

Either ideological ‘belonging’, a need they can’t identify/face, or as a defense mechanism to a weakness or insecurity they can’t admit. All different faces of the same die I suspect.
Pong! In WebAssembly. Gotta start somewhere.
Why? This is a common need. Is there an issue with the implementation or another reason why you would want to use a library?
The company picks the arbitrator, and they unsurprisingly pick ones that typically side with the company.

This is the defendant choosing the judge and jury.
During the time I spent as a writer, I found media was a power game for people who could afford to play it, and a mortal struggle for those who couldn't. It's a zero sum game masquerading as a positive sum art and craft. In short, avoid.

Learn to see the opportunity to produce things others want, make your own money, then run silent and deep until you or your kids can afford to be players, and not merely pieces.

yes but that form will most likely not accept a PDF file that it didn't except in the first place.

I would argue that all of what you just said is your designer failing you.
For us, we defined the base sizing and colors beforehand and the designer works from there. We also use named color variables and themes in Figma such that an element with a background color shows the named color so I can just type in the same name in TW. Putting design and development at the same table on day one and getting both sides to speak the same language definitely speeds development and I really do think your life would be better for it. While your designer has you stuck picking 8px, 10px or 12 px, my source mocks are just .5rem or 1 rem and I can look at a design at this point and add the right value without even checking. You deserve better from your designer; them being 'freeform' is just them doing whatever feels cool this week and a whole lot of inconsistent values.
Because why else would companies do it?
I don't really understand you, sorry! Sounds partly sarcastic to me.

> I think its silly to just put Tik Tok as an adjective on everything you don't like because I see that in other fields too. There are certain behaviors it seems some people are doing that are different than the ones you highlighted.

Well, I do because it's the only thing I can say something about. It's not a category I put on everyone I don't like but it's a term that's shared and quite clearly defined in a very narrow discussion about techno and the pandemic. It only partially relates to the overall tik tok consumerism discussion.
That's nice but I don't really like when they rename some APIs.. That brings breaking changes you know.
AI models will no doubt gobble it up and spit out back out in a unique looking laundered format minus the comments.
Broad claims about 'culture' set off alarm bells for me and is sort of a classic error of scholarship (not to hold a random HN post to the standard of 'scholarship' - my point is it's a signal of flaws).

Culture is very difficult to define, which makes it compatible with any claims - every listener perceive different meanings that make sense to us, so we can agree while meaning different things. Also, we have nothing specific to test. For example, if someone said crime is prevelent in Russia's economy, we might have data on the size of the black market, and data and information on how other factors generally affect black market size (such as, as a guess, authoritarian government, oligarchy, and of course poor delivery of goods and services by government and market).

Also, such claims are almost always made by outsiders, who know least about the 'culture' and at the same time are prone, being humans, to make broad, powerful claims about extremes in 'the other', who are slightly alien and thus might do anything.

Edit: I'm very familiar with the stereotype of Russian hackers, but stereotypes are very misleading. There are Russian government disinformation campaigns, where we do have specific claims and lots of evidence, but that seems like a different issue.

Also, doing it in HTML prevents the flash of alternate-themed content. Doing the same with the `theme-color` meta is also a seldom-used but great feature for detail-minded PWA developers.
That sounds a hell of a lot (to me) like a missing check/balance in terms of the contract between administration and media.

The person you replied to specifically said (emphasis mine) “people who enjoy using their brains all day”. The bit you removed is crucial. Most people want to have a functional brain, but that’s not the same as saying they like having their minds constantly engaged in demanding tasks. Otherwise we wouldn’t have “Sunday afternoon movies”.
Contracts regularly restrict the rights of the parties. For example, a NDA restricts your right to free speech. Should this right be different? Maybe, but there’s trade offs to everything.

Ultimately I’d rather take the position that if you don’t like the terms of a contract you are free to not agree to it.
Oh, sorry, I thought this was in the sub thread about “why not mark cables in software”!

Fully agreed – the maximum supported data rate would be even more important to be printed on the cable for HDMI.

One reason I could see why manufacturers would be hesitant to do this is that some future improvements might not have higher requirements for cabling, so the printed data rate might be underselling actual capabilities.
We need a new way of counting currency for these massive numbers. There is just no context here.

I followed this drama on Twitter. The author was breaking the terms of service and creating DMCA support burden for Vercel. They had proactively been in touch with him a few times to reach a solution.

I think it’s quite reasonable that they blocked the account rather than the project. You wouldn’t have got that level of service from big tech.
Apparently no, in most cases both sides have to agree on the arbitrator.

tl'dr, this seems to be the most important point but the video/transcript is full of insightful info:

> The third era that influenced Russian thought in a great manner is Mongol Russia. In the 1240s, the Mongols conquered Russia. They held Russia for 150 years. That time was cruel. There are a lot of words in Russian, related to torture, taxation and corruption, that come from the Mongol language. Dominance under personal authority was rooted in the administrative culture from the Mongols. That is, there is only one khan that leads. It is he who leads, no one else. Others are passive followers. That one guy leads and takes responsibility and the initiative. When the belief of divine legitimacy to lead is attached to this, the leader will appear as fairly tough in their world view.

> The corruption and cruelty also comes from the Mongol era. During the Mongol rule the only ways to survive were lying, corruption and violence. This still lives very deep in Russia’s strategic culture. When Mongol rule ended, the Mongols did not just pack their bags and disappear from Russia. Instead they mixed with the locals. So the traditions also stayed with the people. In particular, to the leading caste. The Mongols who had previously ruled the country merged into the ruling layers, which is still visible today.

> It was built on seven levels, each delved into the hill, and about each was set a wall, and in each wall was a gate. But the gates were not set in a line: the Great Gate in the City Wall was at the east point of the circuit, but the next faced half south, and the third half north, and so to and fro upwards; so that the paved way that climbed towards the Citadel turned first this way and then that across the face of the hill.

> And each time that it passed the line of the Great Gate it went through an arched tunnel, piercing a vast pier of rock whose huge out-thrust bulk divided in two all the circles of the City save the first. For partly in the primeval shaping of the hill, partly by the mighty craft and labour of old, there stood up from the rear of the wide court behind the Gate a towering bastion of stone, its edge sharp as a ship-keel facing east. Up it rose, even to the level of the topmost circle, and there was crowned by a battlement; so that those in the Citadel might, like mariners in a mountainous ship, look from its peak sheer down upon the Gate seven hundred feet below.

> The entrance to the Citadel also looked eastward, but was delved in the heart of the rock; thence a long lamp-lit slope ran up to the seventh gate. Thus men reached at last the High Court, and the place of the Fountain before the feet of the White Tower: tall and shapely, fifty fathoms from its base to the pinnacle, where the banner of the Stewards floated a thousand feet above the plain.

This is also a geographical account, by Tolkien of Minas Tirith.

There are actually striking similarities in style, which is unsurprising given that Tolkien was a scholar who patterned his works on ancient epics. The main difference is that the ancient text has more numbers, which, given the timescales a historical Atlantis would have to have occurred on, were certainly not literal measurements recorded by Plato or a contemporary.
I distinctly remember a HN post, were the father of the poster had the same problem. Meaning he would sometimes "crash" and just stand there, forgetting about the world everything - often for hours if nobody "interrupted".

When even sage of Omaha can’t find opportunities to invest it definitely hints towards a stock market crash or correction soon. For those of you that might need to cash out some money in the coming years (maybe when you get made redundant) I would definitely recommend to rebalance at least some of the portfolio into bonds. Stock market will likely outperform in a long enough time period but it might be too long for some.
This is an interesting point and does sound good in theory, although in practice it's just the for-profit proprietary companies who are doing the forking and expanding, and then making a ton of money and not contributing anything back to the reference implementation.

I do also dislike the CLA, but I'm torn because if anybody should be making the money from these custom extensions/implementations, it should be the company who does 95% of the core contributions, and I don't see a way to do that without the CLA. Not that my opinion matters as I'm not connected at all to Element or any other players, but just generally speaking I'd love to hear potential solutions to the problem that don't require a CLA
Yes, have a read of the sudoers man page and marvel at the complexity of the configuration, and wonder about your chances of getting it right if you are not well-experienced. This is the config file with the infamous paragraph:

The sudoers grammar will be described below in Extended Backus-Naur Form (EBNF). Don’t despair if you are unfamiliar with EBNF; it is fairly simple, and the definitions below are annotated.

OpenBSD replaced sudo with their own "doas" command a few years ago; the doas.conf manual page is about 100 lines; sudoers is over 2,000.
GP talked about "great developer experiences", not adoption. There are lots of reasons inferior tools, standards etc. may be more widely adopted.

From Wikipedia[1]:

> Rome still exists as the capital of Italy; the ruins of Carthage lie 16 km (10 mi) east of modern Tunis on the North African coast. A symbolic peace treaty was signed by Ugo Vetere and Chedli Klibi, the mayors of Rome and modern Carthage, respectively, on 5 February 1985; 2,131 years after the war ended. As of 2020 the modern settlement of Carthage was a district of the city of Tunis.

Your argument style closes it to any counterpoint. Anyone in your head with a different opinion is weird or lying. Perhaps others have a different rationale to you?
Daniel Berlin ('DannyBee), who is a lawyer (and compiler designer) and a commenter here worth following, has for years been pushing back on the C.W. that arbitration is just a way big corporations screw the little people:

> locking, reference counting and mandatory initialisation

Don’t need any of this crap for a garage door opener. Most firmware is incredibly simple.

pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
setBit(&gpioCtx, bitPosition, 1);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);

Compiled with -Wall is fine and infinitely more readable that the Rust puke above, but you probably won’t need the lock or the warnings in your typical embedded project. The main issue with Rust appears to be that it invites masturbators that invent problem scenarios in their head and then overengineer every std lib API and crate available for consumption. Setting a bit on a dev board should simple. It should not be a chained mess full of operator soup.
Maybe. But if irrational people at big companies are just throwing $21 billion away, the shareholders will hold them responsible. Especially the major shareholders.
A proper incinerator doesn't release toxic gases and generates electricity so perhaps fewer fossil fuels can be burnt while it's running so it's not quite as bad as how you're phrasing it either.

I don't claim to know what's best out of recycle, incinerate, landfill and biodegrade. To me none of them seems obviously bad. Various calculations would need to be done.

The on-device TV demos and Sony's 'core' 4k streaming service

>Nothing streaming at typical cable bitrates is worthy of being called "UHD," let alone "4K."

I agree! However, by that same token, 1080p streams aren't really 1080p. A not-actually-4k stream still looks dramatically better than a not-actually-1080p stream.
In deed it was. Sad it's gone.
