My conspiracy theory is that they bought it to kill Usenet. Search is their business, and users going to Usenet (which you can't exactly search without an archive) instead of a forum on the web hurts business.

So they bought DejaNews and slapped a deliberately bad UI onto it. And as every ISP dropped Usenet, people were told "Go to Google Groups to keep talking."

And because the UX was outright worse than the newsreaders they had been using (no killfiles, no moderation for spam, etc), people left for forums.
Burn-in on OLEDs is really just uneven wear. I don’t think it really matters how bright they get for that, unless panel heat is an issue at higher brightnesses.
Thanks. Some of the attachments on that notebook are closer to raw data, and you can fork Observable notebooks to fiddle with the analyses.
Am I reading the story correctly? Apple was given government permission to structure their business a certain way so they would not owe certain taxes, and now the government has changed its mind and wants to rule that they owe more than a decade in back taxes?

I'm all for mega corporations paying fines for breaking the law, but this seems like overreach. A government shouldn't punish someone for doing something that that they only did because the government said they could.
I can see from the ISS where this is going, given Lagarde announcement about the digital euro from the last month [1].

Digital identity wallets, open sourcing the application components only, giving the states ability to implement whatever they want, not disclosed...

At the end the CCP social credit system will be a joke compared to this.

You can build trees of likely scenarios, branching from the now and calculate what capability traversal does to the likelihood of all scenarios if you have a full human behavior model and thus a society model. And it gives you quite surprising answers:

Root hardening is op. If a capability increases the risk of societal decline (nukes e.g.) you can increase societies abilities to recover from that by creating a video archive of your civilization techniques aka YouTube. And by increasing the ability to approach scenarios again and again, the likelihood of stable traversal to a scenario with more capabilities increases enormously. The root aka now is hardened against a negative outcome that is likely.

Longtermism with good models and no biases is a plus.
Nope, SRE/DBRE. I’ve seen both absolute freedom and a centralized authority for choosing tech stacks. The latter was waaaaay more stable.
I live in Norway, that is one of the many European countries that have a national eID system, and it's one of these things that might not make much sense if you haven't lived somewhere where its there. But if you've used to it. It's such a clear good thing, that being against it makes no sense.

I'll try to explain why it's such a positive, but it feels a bit like trying to explain why paying with cards is nice, to someone who had only used cash.
So at the moment, I'm in the process of moving to a new bank, and will be moving my mortgage, getting new credit cards, and closing my old bank accounts. I'll be able to do all of that, without signing and faxing documents around, but instead doing all that signing with my eID, or BankID which the Norwegian variant is called. I can also use this id system to login to the health care system, look at my prescription, or any other government service that's on the internet.
One simplified way of looking at these eID system is that they are a way prove that you are you, on the internet, that courts and the government believes in. That opens the door to services that just isn't possible without it.
I think this picture actually shows that the way it's meant to be used is really unintuitive. How can you see that and not agree it's a confusing design?
Overwatch 2 was odd because it was only half that.

"Remember that $80 you spent on Game 1 a few years ago? Well, you get Game 2 for free. Also, were turning off the servers for Game 1"

It doesn't sound as wrong but the community still hated it.
> Then let me know which one will still work.

Neither of them work, now what do you do? Within minutes I can buy a new phone or retrieve my backup phone and be up and running again. Replacing those cards would take me several weeks.
It does for me.. I've soldered 0805 (and 1206 which was most of them fortunately) components with a screwdriver-tipped aldi iron as I didn't have anything else available. It was not a great experience but being very careful with the corner of it it worked.

But this is a super capacitor so it'll be a lot biger than that.

But a hot air rework station or a really fine temperature-controlled tip is way better of course, which is what I usually use.
Furthermore, I grow very convinced America fucked itself and the whole planet when it abandoned nuclear power several decades back. Unnameable ills and more on everyone involved in bailing on nuclear.
There is a large zone between everything is working perfectly and the zombie apocalypse.

Power and/or internet goes out semi-regularly (thanks PG&E) and most of the smaller shops around here go cash-only while offline.

Think of natural disasters like hurricanes where power and internet may be out for a few weeks. All those fancy internet-connected payments mechanisms are out and even simple credit card approvals are usually out. Cash is what you need then.

I'm not a big fan of JSX...

But that trend to put everything back into HTML were possible is also wrong...

Yeah this may work for static websites with some forms but I don't see Discord being build like that or any other bigger app.

Its like people want back the HTML version of Gmail.
Its a nice experience when a big part of your screen flashes /s

What about i18n? or a10y? The examples of the form don't support any of that.

Have fun writing the right input every time without a well abstracted text input that does the hard and annoying stuff for you.

We switched to components for a reason but it seams like people forgot.

And yes not every blog or form needs to be writen in nuxt or some other big framework.

There is a distinction between lootboxes with tradable items and those without, if the items are tradable it is literally gambling. But yeah, sucky either way

You didn't do anything wrong.
Fortunately in case of Steam Deck it's possible to replace screen in case this become a problem in a couple of years and new parts wont cost like a new device.
I am at a complete loss how this is any different or harder than shipping hundreds of bits of firmware or hundreds of quirks for random hardware (have you seen the entirety of the quirks tables in the Linux kernel) all based off hundreds of drivers shipped with the kernel.

You maintain profiles in a repo and package them like anything else. No one has indicated how this cannot usually be zero config via hardware probing.
Data in China goes through heavy censorship. It is naive to use, and analyse any of their data, as it represents what the government wants the reality to be.
FWIW, and to answer the OP's question, I think yours and Ethan Mollick's blogs and social media accounts are the best sources for AI news right now. I've been trying to find more sources myself and, other than a few good but highly technical ones that don't focus on actual LLM use (e.g. Jeremy Howard), have bern coming up short.
I really regret not archiving my projects as a kid. I didn't care to save much of anything back then so they got lost to various HDD crashes and migrations to other systems.

I started programming at 11 and don't have anything I made before I was 19. Mostly video games in C++ and small PHP projects I did for money in high school. It's fun looking back at what I have so I really wish I had the stuff from way back in the day.

My oldest program of any significance, a console based poker game, was lost with Planet Source Code and isn't in any of the publicly available archives. I started looking for it maybe 6 months after the site went down.
Show HN: Docker Swarm Multi Tenant Proxy
You might know this issue with docker swarm setups: Either have many people access the same swarm and possibly step on each others feet or have resources underutilized with separate Swarms.

This project aims to alleviate this. We implement a Docker Socket Proxy which is intended to give a tenant specific view onto a Docker Swarm. It exposes all necessary operations to deploy stacks with all features to Docker Swarm as well as management endpoints for volumes, secrets, configs, networks.

Every proxy can be configured with a unique label to give a tenant specific view onto the swarm. This way you can have multiple teams of people collaborate on the same cluster. This is done by filtering all requests on resource labels to check whether the resources are "owned" by the proxy/tenant.

This projects uses Node.js and Express for the server, along with the dockerode (and docker-modem) library to interact with Docker.
Gorgeous! It's a shame that CGI is so prevalent, because without context I would totally assume this was CGI. Some of the shots would fit right in with a Portal cutscene.

Imagine playing on the one in the center of the orb. It's the ultimate Steam Deck gaming throne.
No you agree. You're just not understanding.

The purpose of react was to simplify the complexities of front end web development. Just like the purpose of the DOM was to do the same thing.

Now this article is pointing to going back to the DOM for a similar purpose. The cycle on the great circle of life occurs because we are repeatedly attempting and failing to fulfill the singular purpose of building a clean API for ui construction.

The dom was a failure, react was a failure. What do you think going back to the DOM will do?
This is a topic of debate in my current job. We use Jenkins Multibranch Pipelines and don't want to discard all that work, but we also don't want developers doing release management based on the Jenkins UI/UX. It seems logical to use GHA with local runners to call Jenkins via bash scripts running curl commands, except for how "Rube Goldberg" that sounds. But it seems like everything is like that these days, and all you get to do is pick your poison.

There's also the problem of Jenkins in general, that it's a mature product and you never know if the one plugin you depend on is going to stop being maintained. Or you know you have CVE's but can't upgrade without running two environments, one production and one with all the plugins updated. Or you're chasing down an issue only to find bugs that have been open issues for several years.

> For example, I have countless times just dumped errors from my terminal into GPT-4 and it gave me steps to resolve the issues.

That's fine, but a pretty poor basis of comparison for what StackOverflow can do. If you identify the part that is broken (which most linters will do for you) and paste that into Google, you will get what you want roughly as often as ChatGPT furnishes a proper answer.

I disagree with the parent's pointless moralizing of the situation, but I'm also pretty disenfranchised with the state of GPT-enabled search and programming. When I ask ChatGPT to write something I've already done myself, it will often do things in roundabout or outdated ways. When you play the role of a proctor rather than a student, you can really identify it's shortcomings.

That's not to say AI-enabled coding isn't helpful. But past a certain watermark of trivial problem-solving, AI literally lacks the context to assist in certain codebases where human programmers could easily grok what's happening. Maybe my answer isn't based off the state of the art, but nothing I've tried so far has really gotten everything right. Claiming that it's "malpractice" to avoid it is a plainly inflammatory claim.
The PITA to get a debugger working on a dev board over UART does not need docker added to the mix.
> the mind boggles how a global identification system has anything to do with democracy. not to talk of protecting ‘democratic rights and values.’

But she did talk about democratic rights and values, the rest is you editorializing. As to the how: the idea is that it's more secure and more respectful of privacy than alternatives, which are virtually ubiquitous and mostly in the hand of US tech and finance companies. You don't have to agree that a) those are important values, b) having a European (not global!) SSO serves them, or c) that this implementation does, but if the whole thing is incomprehensible to you, then you're not part of the conversation.

> bear in mind that at the european union level there is no democracy. at least in the form that we have come to expect it at the national level. it has become an all-recipe ingredient: drop a few pinches in there and criticism of the scheme is criticism of democracy itself.

The parliament is directly elected, the commission is designated by the (democratically elected) governments and approved by the parliament, the European council consists of representatives of the (democratically elected) governments. It's just complicated enough that people who either don't understand it or just don't like the EU for other reasons keep repeating that it's not democratic.
The cards are much more likely to survive such "disaster". Cash as well. They can lay without needing attention for months.
I told myself I'd never again buy a WD drive when I realised the WD Red NAS drives I bought were completely unsuitable for NAS because they secretely replaced the product line with SMR drives.

And now you are telling me that the Sandisk SSD I bought as a replacement also has a fatal design flaw? And apparently Sandisk is a WD subsidiary?

I'm feeling slightly less bad about spending a fortune on getting a bigger built-in SSD in my Macbook. Please don't tell me they are flawed as well.
Autumn ISO C++26 standards meeting
So you're saying what the EU needs is not this but rather the Full Faith and Credit clause.

But that still doesn't seem like a real justification. How often do people actually move? Once every five or ten years? Even if it was every year, going to the local government office to show them your ID and set up an account once a year is hardly an ordeal, and you shouldn't even need to talk to them. Just print out a form from the website -- in your own language -- and show them your ID when you hand it to them.
Consignment in retail is more of an inventory accounting arrangement. Marketplaces are much more open and allow sellers to set their own terms.
Only if you drive the display at the top end. If you end up driving in the middle, it helps prevent burn in

> By counting the time each subpixel is displayed and at what brightness, a "wear level" can be determined for each pixel, using an algorithm to estimate the luminance degradation this can be compensated for. However, to do this, you must have some spare luminance headroom that gets utilized as the display gets older. Or alternatively, if the display unlocks full maximum luminance when new without saving any headroom, the algorithm would dim the other pixels over time to bring them down to the level of the burned-in pixels, so the peak luminance of the display would diminish over time as the burn-in occurs.

Same! I don't get why there are so many complains about macOS? It works very well for me; as a programmer or as a simple media consumer user. In fact I switched to Safari for web browsing a few years ago and have not looked back. I use Chrome only for debugging web apps.
>> The Movement for an Open Web (MOW), an organization that has lobbied against Google's Privacy Sandbox initiative by claiming it's harmful to rival internet advertising businesses

> They have much more to be annoyed at. VPN companies, The Tor Project, AD blockers, etc

While I'm sure they dislike those, the key word here is rival - the claim is that Google has its own ad business, and is only deploying privacy features in a way that hurts other ad companies.
Does seem a bit strange, but the original article[1] in German, translated using Google Translate, reads as follows:

> “It's definitely a hardware problem. It is a design and construction weakness . The entire soldering process of the SSD is a problem,” says Häfele. A hard drive has components that need to be soldered to the circuit board. “The soldering material used, i.e. the solder, creates bubbles and therefore breaks more easily.”

> “In addition, the components used are far too large for the layout intended on the board,” says Häfele, explaining the technical problems: “As a result, the components are a little higher than the board and the contact with the intended pads is weaker. All it takes is a little something for solder joints to suddenly break.”

It sounds like what they're saying is that the solder pads are too small for some of the components. Not sure about what they're saying about the solder though.

Apple Plans Ambitious iOS 18 and macOS 15 Updates, Seeks to Squash Bugs
In some sense I agree, I am very mindful of the dependencies I add and I am not afraid to write something custom if that better fits the situation.

But this article is not showing me how to do that and the things listed are not going to have an impact on the complexity of my projects as these basic things are solved quite well.

> By adding an advanced framework you up the complexity by default

If you know your project will remain simple then by all means. That's often not how it works though and then you end up writing a framework yourself once the scope gets increased and features are added.

Adding to that that using a framework gives you so many things for free. There are so many aspects to a good website and leaning on a group of people specialising in all those things is often a smart move with better outcomes.

I think the initial complexity might be a little bit higher, but there often is a big return on investment later on, and also immediately in terms of productivity.

I'm not going to stop you from not using a framework, I think it's great to experience it, have been there many times before, got burned (badly), and now make different decisions.
Gasoline is not a natural resource, I have no information on how it's extracted, refined, transported, priced and rationed.

Also not a fan of JSX. VUE’s component definitions are slightly better - at least it’s using actually HRML tags and <template>s. Personally, my favorite is Lit’s approach, writing HTML in tagged template literals. It’s still mixing your HTML with your JavaScript, but it feels much cleaner, closer to the vanilla experience of marking up content.
I've been to places that are clearly managing their service to hit that 90 minute mark too. Over the top pestering to get your orders in the second your but hits the seat.. coming back to upsell you more drinks at the 20/40min mark, and then completely disappearing from about the 55min mark onwards so you can't put in a dessert order.

If the correct amount of pad is not exposed at the edge of the part, the solder will have nowhere to form a fillet which is critical to its physical attachment. Solder is not glue, and even with more pad contact beneath this is a physically weaker connection which often results in tombstones like pictured in TFA.

If you read the integration documents for these packages, you'll see that they distinctly specify the requirements for these margins. Probably the length is the more important axis and may be what he was referring to when saying "large". I've seen this be a problem particularly during the "chip shortage" where jellybean parts like these capacitors have the weakest specs in a design, meaning unilateral substitutions can happen at many points in the design/mfg pipeline.

Indeed brittle solder is a real phenomenon which is often easily visible in hand soldered joints that we call "cold" joints. Formation of bubbles can happen for a number of reasons, but IME it's the result of low quality solder or flux/cleaning. The organic compounds gasify in the heat and form an internal structure similar to bread.

ETA: an interesting paper exploring the cause and minimization of voiding in the reflow process. Particularly, the decrease in thermal conductivity in voided solder can critically contribute to its failure in high-heat operational environments.
