In my experience, the HTML view is higher-value than the default. It removes the artificial division of your email into three secretly determined categories, it removes the delays involved in opening a message, it won't hang your computer... the only downside is that gchat doesn't work, though I don't actually know whether that still exists or not.

What value do we supposedly get from the weird Javascript monstrosity?
I don't value my time at zero, I just think making something is more valuable than my time.
How to Write a Parser
The pie chart has multiple segments with the same colors, how is one supposed to parse it?

I do not understand how one can write an entire article about a set of data and then not present it in a way that is comprehensible?

Edit: Just discovered that hovering over the segments of the chart will bring up a tooltip with the name of the segment if JS is enabled, but this is not obvious to readers and I still don't think this is a good way to present data.
'Energy independent' Uruguay runs on 100% renewables for four straight months
We’re talking passed each other, because the parent is complaining that “random third party ads” are in the task bar, nothing to do with Microsoft and not relevant to the context they’re in.

Apple News could be criticized for having a default list of news sources and I think that’s fair. But the news app is first party. Apple Music could be criticized for its upselling, and that’s justified as heck, but it’s still first party.

However; Safari and edge aren’t comparable. Safari seems to be perfectly content in being relegated to storage, never to hit memory or the CPU again, and I believe it is possible to remove it. Edge begs for its life when you even consider installing an alternative browser.

That’s not the topic being discussed in this branch of the thread as far as I understood it, but even if you were to take that point it’s a very large difference.
He Insane Engineering Behind MSG Sphere at Las Vegas [video]
Not if you get the equivalent of multiple NPPs in renewables installed every month it isn't. The best time to build nuclear was before Chernobyl, and since Fukushima new nuclear plants are dead basically.
Out of curiosity, why did the title here change sometime in the last couple hours? It was something like the "no Bing, No Edge, .." from the current Ars title. Did they change the article title after this was posted here? I know Ars does A-B titles for a period after publishing.
This makes sense and in the same time it doesn't. You're supposed to pay to use your infra, not theirs?
Do you want me to understand a news app or widget as the same thing as unwarranted ads in the start menu?

I'd be interested in tests to see just how much space it actually saves. From personal experience, you can fit quite a few shirts on that same on-the-wall rail using a normal coathanger with a rotating head. Not that this isn't better, I'm just not sure it's "six bucks per hanger and using a normal rod instead of buying ours isn't recommended PS you can't use them for pants" better.
Turns out the C64 design hasn’t changed that much, eh?
That is exactly what Apple will do: implement it by the spec. Then they can turn around to regulators and say they have done what they needed to do to be interoperable and, if compatibility problems arise, can point the finger right back at their competitors.
DEAR RESPECTED SIR
Show HN: A Tiny DALL-E 3 UI for your homelab
Given that the access to OpenAI plus is now restricted, I thought it would be nice to offer a way to play with DallE-3 without the subscription.

I made that in an afternoon for fun. It's a small web UI served by a simple flask python server. I wanted to keep ownership of the images so the server can be configured to save every single image locally, with the "extra" OpenAI prompt which is quite neat. And is has more settings than the bing implementation.

It's now set up on my homelab and it's been quite useful.

Enjoy!
I agree, if you lower the salaries now they will probably leave.
You are correct about the utility calculation, of course.

It's just that many people can afford to have hobbies, and hobbies do not have to earn money or be a good investment in order to be worth doing.
Sadly, electoral bonds make this less true. All the benefits of lobbying for businesses with none of the transparency that political donations have in the US.

Why would that be an issue? The rights of workers trump the public's appetite for a particular brand of car. Furthermore, consumers have many rights in the EU as well, I would expect such behavior to be unfeasible.

Tesla has a market lead but not technological supremacy and it is arrogant to assume they'll maintain it in perpetuity. They're squandering it now in real-time with the cybertruck.
Fortunes have been burned on all manner of Stirling engines including some pretty interesting variations on the theme such as Stirling engines with free pistons, liquid pistons and even more exotic versions. There are some interesting applications in fields that really need the features that Stirling engines offer (for instance: run in reverse they can be used as very good refrigeration engines). In America there were car manufacturers experimenting with them and in Europe Philips and DAF did a lot of work on this. But it all went nowhere and the reasons were varied, some related to seals ('rollsocks') to contain the working fluid, some related to the leakage between the two sides (Stirling engines become more efficient as the thermal delta between the two ends increases), some related to the eventual loss of working fluid and some because of fouling of the hot end because of incomplete combustion.

I've dabbled a bit in this with a solar powered Stirling motor (demonstration level, just a tiny unit, enough to serve as POC) and my own takeaway was that it can work but it is extremely hard to make it work economically. But to see sunlight turned into motive power without any intermediary is a really neat effect and it is still one of my projects that I'm most fond of.
Sadly, 3D printers are still cheaper.

I once needed to make a few customized gears out of food safe plastic. I asked several online services for quotes and I called several on-location shops in northern Germany. The quotes I got were all around $1800 per unique gear shape. Since I needed 4 different shapes (i.e. $7k for outsourcing), it was much cheaper to buy a 3D printer, watch some tutorials and spend two working days just to make them myself.

Plus I honestly don't know why Shapeways (for example) will always quote you multiple weeks in lead time. What do they do in those 2 weeks after the print finished but before they send the parcel?
The money saved from data preprocessing Splunk v Bacalhau is interesting. I wonder how this could affect big enterprises that spend millions on the preprocessing of data.

More than triple-funded just 5 hours after your comment.
While Apple is far from perfect, the difference in extent between the two is pretty dramatic. I switched back to MacOS from Windows this year because Windows 11 was annoying me to no end. Microsoft has gone much farther down the anti-user experience road.
Ah that makes more sense.

It's easy to get confused with RVV, given all the acronyms and config options. Despite it's "RISC" background, I find it much more complex and confusing than AVX and SVE.
I certainly interpreted it as operationally profitable, and not including the existing costs of developing, building, launching the satellites - or even just the cost of replacing them in future.
You're proving my point. T-Mobile had to switch to Jibe.

I work at a carrier that deployed a solution provided by WIT. Then around 2019-2020 Google decided they weren't interested in an open and interconnected RCS backend anymore.
Paying 2.8m for 20pb of bandwidth is two orders of magnitude more expensive than it needs to be. You pay significantly more using cloud hosting providers rather than dedicated server resellers. I would recommend signal consider just renting dedicated servers from providers like OVH for their voice relays.
> We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate

And from the link: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/824...

- Other Salaries and Wages $9,665,761
- Executive Compensation $744,037

So about $10,400,000 a year in compensation and wages, or about 21% of their running costs.
The question makes sense. When people claim that wind + solar wins over nuclear. They compare apple and orange. Nobody is able to explain what wind/solar (+ other renewable) installation is doable right night in Sweden (not near the equator), that would provide the same guarantee as a nuclear powerplant: 2GW of power, all year long. Or at least any time when the people need that power and there hasn't been sun/wind for a while.
Because it can be easy to test the result even if you don't know how to come up with a solution ?

If I asked you to build a light switch I don't need to know anything about EE to see that the light turns on/off when I flip the switch.

LLMs often fail to provide functional solutions for non trivial stuff (not impressive) - and once you know more about the domain, you usually figure out that the light switch will likely burn down your house in few hours because it's overheating.
And their projects still need outside funding. Funding which is impacted by inflation and intrest rates, expoaing the project, and hence the company behind it, to financial impacts the same way start-ups are: money all of a sudden isn't free anymore.
After wading through the molasses that is Jira, Linear is very good. Very fast and snappy though not as extensible and configurable as Jira of course
My position is neither silly nor extreme. It's the way it is usually done and other comments here have been along the same lines.

In fact you are trying to spin what I wrote to an extreme to make your point.

By the way, it is not about 100% success assurance but assurance that failure does not brick the unit. This is an assurance that should be, and can be, close to 100%, indeed a good number of 9s because, obviously you cannot brick 2 cars out of 100 for every software upgrade!

Here's what the OP described as happening on their new Windows install:

> I remember the first time I used a Windows system last year after tens of years on Linux/OSX, and it was really a somewhat strange experience: the moment I connected the ethernet cable I was instantly looking at random flashy news articles from another part of the world. Not in the browser, not in some kind of "News" app, but right in my taskbar! The most amazing part is that I did not even have to click on it – the system carefully opened it for me to delight me with some low-quality not-even-local news.

Same thing happens on new macOS installs.
I feel you. I've had my machine blocked for 5 hours as it was pushing an update down my throat. Luckily it gave me a 2 minute warning before the initial reboot so that I could close everything down.

As that was during a client emergency, I had a very happy client that day.
It sounds 'late' to make it a docker container, but actually getting the IPv6 testing working with docker was challenging, only recently some IPv6 issues got solved, and the project needs the experimental and ip6tables docker flags to run.
Sure, nuclear is maybe better than coal. We get it, even greenpeace and the green party in Germany does. That point has been discussed, and agreed upon.
No idea what this means.
Then we don't understand the phrase "the same thing" the same way.

An Apple box comes with Apple software and services. It does not come with third party apps preinstalled and it does not show me ads. The one exception that I can think of is in the App Store and in their TV offer, but this is not what you are talking about.

I disagree with a thousand things that Apple does but this comparison is disingenuous.
Started using it a few months ago. It’s a normal issue tracker feature-wise. Doesn’t seem to reinvent the wheel, functionally. Where it shines is in UX: crazy fast and snappy, great layouts, keyboard shortcuts, look and feel, etc. I’m at a point where I go “ugh” if I have to use anything else.
Setting up a db with backups, PITR, periodic backup tests in 30 minutes? You made my day :) Also how about controlling who has access to servers, tamper protected activity logs? It is just scratching the surface.
In the Kickstarter video the wood is painted (and she has sensibly removed the goofy leaves on the sides, which were obviously only going to get in the way).
As others have pointed out, in reality the SDKs are very often not really shared and you end up with multiple copies. This doesn't happen (and is basically impossible) with a traditional package manager
Please do so yourself. Reprocessing is a good thing, but it does not resolve the need for long term storage.

And btw. you also didn't answer my question who pays for the 10 to 100k years of storage. The current answer typically is "the state", all while energy companies get to keep the money earned.
Fair, things have changed, I stand corrected.
Wind power farms have grown a lot more than I had assumed.

My point still stands storage infrastructure for intermittent renewables (Wind, PV) is still the key problem to solve for Gas/Coal to finally stay in the ground.
> noise generation is slow

looks at the tool

It's implemented in TS.
> On a different note, one place I consulted with had its planning and tracking tool (Jira-like Azure DevOps) directly feed into its accounting system, such that different types of work were bucketed into different amortization flows. Planned work was a capital expenditure (CapEx), while anything funneled into Unplanned became an operating expenditure (OpEx). Any accountant that knows the implications of CapEx vs. OpEx can see where this is going. This company had a lot of bugs and issues that were left unaddressed.

Same experience where I work. Not perhaps "directly fed" to the accounting, but something similar. Basically: someone somewhere needs to know how many hours were CapEx and how many were OpEx. The division between planned work and unplanned work is a crude way of doing that. It's not perfect, but I do prefer that division over having to report hour by hour whether I did cap/op-ex work. The only problem I see with it is if this creates pressure on either a) creatively marking work as one type or the other or b) prioritizing incorrectly due to on this. Those are real problems (luckily I have not seen that where I work). But the division itself seems like as good a method as any.

eu seem to care about its citizens it seems. so, it might be dumbfounding for citizens of nations with government who give zero fucks about its own citizens.

in other countries, it is called bribery. most of the time, it's illegal.
Or near fault lines. Or near rivers if those risk running dry in summer. Or near densly populated areas.
>Backups are not hard either.

I guess you never setup one, because I’ve see numerous attempts at this and none took less than a month to do.
> Maybe. The CI rules should be made public in that case, though, surely? Maybe they are?

Agreed, but thankfully they are. The PRs link to <https://github.com/flathub/flatpak-external-data-checker>. That said, it'd be clearer if the flathubbot 'user' profile also linked to that URL.

> The enormous amount of value the distros bring [...] is audit of packages (and packaging).

Yes, auditing against supply chain attacks is good! But there's also a risk in running outdated software. I don't have easy answers. But if automation leaves more time for the hard part, great.
Try doing long, sustained out-of-order writes and see how long you can keep that up before you're down to very low transfer rates.
My current version uses mainly DEB. Due to some personal issues I am not up to date with my OS. I install 99% of my software with apt and deb packages. I don't like Snaps and Flatpaks.

Yes, I have to update soon but I will do this when I buy a new Dell XPS
> If you took the walls away, you'd find you're probably standing very close to some other people! You're not alone, any more than someone in a cube farm works in a very large private office.

That's what the article gets wrong too. Whether you are in solitude is not a metric of "distance to the next person disregarding obstacles". I am much less likely to talk or acknowledge my neighbor than my friend a thousand miles away in another country or a nosy passer by on a trekking track. I don't even know what my neighbors look like.
>> got no idea what’s at the bottom of the oceans.

macOS does not have a task bar and that paragraph specifically says that the flashing items did not even show in a news app. The criticism of Apple here says that they have a news app and that it shows news.

It is not the same thing and it won't be the same thing no matter how many times you say it. It simply isn't!
There are also alternative ways to effect change in addition to don't buy/use it.

Wrong. I hate certain cars. I'll never understand why anyone would buy a lifted truck with oversize wheels and low profile tires. I think it's an abomination. I can still find a buyer for it and sell it to them.
I love when people see a problem and they spend a (seemingly) insane amount of time, work and passion to solve it.

"Keep at it, it can be frustrating at times but if you keep studying and practicing how to become a better developer, you will become one"

There are no shortcuts in life. You need to work at it. Cognizant practice got me there, and I think it will get you there, too.

I get people asking me how to become a programmer all the time -- and I always say the same thing: You can't talk about it, you need to do it. You need to write programs, writing software will make you a better programmer.

Have opinions on how to write good software, be open about these opinions, but also be aware that they could be bad opinions, misinformed, or lacking greater context.
> Absolutely hilarious to see the willingness for folks on this platform to advocate the opening up of something a company built by fiat.

Yes, it's called creating standards and fostering free market competition. This has happened REPETEDLY and time and time again.

Pretty much every standard, cable and tech you're using that works on multiple manufacturers was "something a company built by fiat".

If I'm facetious as you - I'm surprised just how deep corporate bootlicking goes here that outright hurts your ability to vote with the wallet and make modern market capitalism work for you as a user.
Perhaps the co-inventor hates talking to camera and is perfectly happy that she does this part of the process.
True, but then, taken to its logical conclusion, isn't everything just "things that emerge in an observer's model of the world", e.g., an ant, a chair, a rock?

I think you have an issue with what open source means. He does mention outstatic in his repo and it seems that your project is one of many he's using. It seems like he's better than you at keep developing/selling the project, you should find a way to benefit from it, for example selling outstatic to his audience.

Edit: just checked the difference in stats of the project and his project is so smaller. I think you are complaining about nothing - soft and hard forks are the norm.

Making a product, certifying it and making sure it’s safe is also hard.

But marketing is extremely important and it’s just a very different skill than tech.

I have invested thousands of hours into making them as good as possible. You couldn’t tell from my website :D

I would probably profit much more if I just stopped improving them and focused on marketing. But I just feel much more drawn to improving the product.
It's kind of bizarre that people here would rather have shitty experience talking to their friends just to defend the honor megacorporations.

Apple and Google ARE NOT PEOPLE. They do NOT HAVE FEELINGS you need to defend. Jesus.

Being able to send a rich message from iPhone to Android and back (including location, pictures, videos) is really not something that will cause you pain and Apple won't lash out and punish you for it.

This "Your icloud storage is low" and "Buy space" warnings are annoying.
And you cannot do anything about them.

Oh, Apple products have such an amazing usability (they are not, apparently, in 2023, if they think advertising their cloud bundle is ok).
This is solid advice. Particularly: Have a staging system where you can practice your migrations - ideally you should have a full migration into staging at some point and the users (whoever they are) look at the results and sign it off (or, more likely, they find 50 important fields they forgot to mention earlier - its only once people see tangible results of the migration that they really think about which bits are important).

Lastly, avoid committing to a schedule if at all possible. Well thats just good advice for any situation, if only it were that simple
