That article mixes up Thunderbolt cables with basic charging cables so it's terrible about actually informing you about quality.

For example, a quality charging cable doesn't have Thunderbolt amplifiers in it - even the artisanal Apple ones. It doesn't cost 120$ either. It's just... quality for feature set it has. Usually more like 30$.

Even worse, the fact that you think that 130$ is reasonable for that cable is proof just how misleading it is - there are signficantly cheaper Thunderbolt cables from other brands with same capabilities (and same fancy chips you can ooh and aah via Xray like in that other article) below 100$.
The Long Sun series (also Gene Wolfe) was another excellent use of this. Everything is narrated by a priest unknowingly living on a generational starship and you're left to interpret the world around them.
Most of the Texas triangle is rural. When they say 20 million people in the Texas triangle they are including many farmers etc who aren’t living in a town or city.

As to different experiences: https://publichealthmaps.org/motw-2021/2021/2/17/17-february...

Wilson, Guadalupe and a few outer counties within that metro area didn’t lose power, others had saw only a fraction of their area suffer blackouts.

“At the peak, over 5 million people in Texas were without power,[67] with 11 million experiencing an outage at some point,[22] some for more than 3 days.[68]” out of 29 million that’s a long way from 50%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Texas_power_crisis

Similarly the temperatures experienced across the Texas triangle varied significantly, it’s a big area. (The site I use for weather data seems to be down for maintenance.)
It's funny how WebAssembly can help overcome most of the issues mentioned on the blogpost (packaging, configuration, portability) if addressed properly.

That's kind of the point of YAGNI. There are a lot of things developers care about that the product doesn't need. Would customers literally leave if you don't have encryption? No.

It is true. I don’t know a single person who runs any kind of antivirus on a mac and I’ve never heard of anyone getting a virus. Does it happen? Sure, there are 8 billion people in the world. Let’s not pretend mac needs an antivirus running like windows does.

Ask HN: What was the outcome of Reddit blackout?
I couldn't find any info but what was the end result of the blackouts?

Did reddit agree or compromise, or did the movement run out of steam? Just curious if anyone knows..
To be fair, there may be very good data locality reasons to prefer myArray[w*y+x] over myArray[x][y] if you're trying to construct a rectangular 2d array. The two forms are typically not equivalent. One is an array of arrays (i.e. double indirection), and the other is not.

The loops I don't have an explanation for though.
Thank you for sharing this. I believe there is more research into BCI and motor-control, for example this project: BrainGate (https://www.braingate.org/). Whatever becomes commercialized will be interesting, but the field is progressing.
Same thing in the German supermarket I'm working at. Sending "feedback"(?) about the deliveries (e.g. about missing/broken/etc. wares) back to the chain's warehouses/depots is also done by fax through one of those huge multifunction scanner/printer office machines.

It's a hassle and can take minutes to get the "sent" confirmation coming out of the printer chute. Although I don't know what the other end of the fax call looks like; a virtual inbox or a real fax machine sitting in some office spitting out these forms from >100 stores, though I suspect it's the former because of the potential volume of fax messages.
Simulating the NYT Spelling Bee
A fun project I worked on over the last few days this Thanksgiving. For those who love or hate or love to hate the NYT Spelling Bee.
can you an example of those kinds of safeguards? asking for a friend :)
Windows will: spy on you, serve you advertisements, reboot autonomously, destroying your open work, install software without consent, report your browsing behavior to advertisers, literally steal your email password, upload all your files to one drive without consent, forcibly change your default browser, insert aggressive ads for Edge in front of the Firefox download page, show you clickbait tabloid articles in the taskbar.

Honestly I'm not sure how you can consider any of that secure.
Chromeos and Mac OS are way more secure. Inb4 “chromeos is Linux” yeah but no, that’s just pedantic.

It did take me a while to fiddle with everything to get it right. I play most of the games through Steam on Porting Kit, which for the most part "just works" if you're playing a supported game.

If you're doing it through Whiskey there can be a bit of trial and error getting the right DLLs loaded.

No, Reddit threatened to replace all mods who didn’t open back up. Since a lot of mods spent sometimes upwards of a decade building their communities, they preferred to reopen with barebones effort rather than hand it over to people with zero experience (who were likely looking to exploit the communities for personal/financial gain).

I left mine closed as long as possible, got tons of hate DMs and people harassing me in various other subreddits, then eventually opened back up with one additional mod who does all of the actual moderation. I check modmail every other day or so through old.reddit to make sure things are functioning and to show some mod activity so I can’t be removed… just in case Reddit doesn’t suck at some point in the future.

I’ve commented 3 times in the last 4 months in subreddits totally unrelated to the one I “run”. I used to try and reply to every single post in my community, which was a pretty easy task in Apollo. If Apollo was like running through ankle deep water, the official app is like trudging through a waist deep swamp. It’s awful and I hate it. How are reddit employees not totally ashamed of the work they put out and embarrassed by the company they work for?
Do you think telephone-based banking is more secure than app-based banking? What's your argument for that?

My experience with talking to banks on the phone has been that common security measures seem laughable to me - like "last four digits of your SSN" laughable.

This is about seeing inference benefits from unstructured sparsity.
This makes complete sense to me. Where I live, an overwhelming majority of charging stations are occupied by cars that are plugged in, but no longer charging.

Officially, they can stay there indefinitely. The biggest charger network in the area worked on an unlimited plan model for a long time, so it makes sense that they wouldn’t have a problem with fully charged cars hogging the network because it means fewer cars would charge and cut into their profits, however they don’t implement extra-fees-when-done-charging even for pay-as-you-go clients, which makes no sense to me.

In response, the city is by and large limiting charge times to 3h. Which is great if you have a fast charger, and very annoying if you have a plug-in hybrid.

Rosetta 2 expects certain capabilities from ARM CPU, which exists solely for the purpose of running x86 simulation. Apple will drop that in future versions of their SoCs and Rosetta will go as well.
> why do people have to always try to convince me how unfazed they are by nudity? if you're unfazed by it, please link me to your nudes. if not, you're fazed.

This ignores people who are comfortable with nudity, but are not comfortable with the puritans (i.e. most humans) harassing them for being in their natural state.

> there's absolutely nothing wrong with finding certain states of undress offensive. would you vote for or against buttholes on display on bus kiosks? i'm against.

Great strawman. Nudity is normal. Finding other people's states of undress offensive, and wanting to criminalise them, when they do not harm you at all, is a bigoted view.
Nice article!

And btw, thanks for all your work as a filter list maintainer. I know it's a lot to keep up with, and I appreciate it very much.

People also assume all defaults are “safe”, and that the out of the box configuration does not need to be reviewed.

For example, I just installed Fedora Ashai Linux last night and discovered that the sshd daemon is listening on port 22 by default. Not sure if there was an easy to guess password for that, but it was not mentioned at all in the installer and could have been a big problem if I had not caught it.
I was mostly a mod protest, not a user protest.

But mods get their power from their subscriber count (like influencers).

So when users started complaining that they don't care about the protest, and more importantly, started looking for alternative related subreddits which were not part of the protest, the mods backed down and stopped the protest, fearing that they are loosing their power (subscriber count).
The Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge
After nearly a decade of using NoScript I have developed an intuitive sense of what domains to temp whitelist, and in what orders, to get things working without letting third party scripts get involved. It you stick with it it gets much easier.

I do use uBlock Origin too with NoScript, but that's only for handling the JS of domains NoScript temp whitelists.
My point: the article you've posted is useless for help anyone understand cable quality. Even worse, it's actively misleading by making a non-sensical comparison between two different things.

Do not post it in context of trying to determine cable quality.

Am I now clear enough? :)
This is one of my few pet peeves on the internet. The periodic table of X often isn't periodic, and shouldn't look anything like the periodic table of elements.

Thanks for this comment. It seems that ARINC 429 has been replaced by ARINC 644 in most new aircraft.

From reading the Wikipedia article, they are indeed logically one-way (although the underlying protocol involves two-way communication). It has no security at all.

However, it seems that communication between any avionics systems and anything user-accessible goes through a Network Extension Device (NED). These are required to either be physically (not only logically) unidirectional _or_ have built-in security.

So it might be physically impermeable or it might be a buggy 10-year old firewall. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence given the subject of the article.
Makes me think of the dual idea that “neural nets can’t be conscious/etc”

Not letting devs access production :)
Some Reddit communities fled to other platforms such as Lemmy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(social_network)

Many subreddit moderators protested in various ways and were removed and replaced.

Reddit never agreed or compromised and for the most part the movement seems to have run out of steam.

Maybe if Reddit squeezes more, more users will go to Lemmy and similar alternative platforms?
Did you know that HN works fine without Javascript? There's a reason for that.

Most of those folks, in my experience, just have a Windows computer, or dual-boot.

I use the Photoshop part of my Adobe subscription mostly on a Mac, but I boot my desktop over to Windows if I need to use Premiere and After Effects because applying to those problems a GPU that weighs as much as my Mac does counts for something.
Two different things with the same connector, and with the Thunderbolt cable easily able to take on all responsibilities of a USB-C cable, means they aren’t that different. A Thunderbolt cable basically is a overpowered USB-C cable at the end of the day.

I suggest you find a better resource or stop playing semantics.
I generally use it to log in to my account as 2FA or when shopping online when some merchants also implement a payment process that taps into Citi's, when it also requests it as 2FA. Meaning I'm using it myself in some software rather than handing it over to someone else (even if by using software I'm also technically giving it to someone else)

I guess it depends on who “we” is. Personally, I have seen a lot of comments about how spez sucks (I tend to agree) and everyone should delete their account (some of the subreddits are invaluable and closing all of them would either dissolve a lot of niche communities or just displace them to Facebook, which I would consider far worse than Reddit). But I don’t recall any consensus about not linking to Reddit. I would disagree, in any case.
In general, it's "cable that does what it says on the tin" - e.g. if it says "I support charging at 100W and USB3 at 20Gbps", it actually delivers that stabily and preferrably for more than a week of use :)

In general, I've had good experience with braided cables that clearly advertise their capabilities on the box from different vendors, but I mostly don't buy these things on Amazon anymore. Too many false advertisements, so I'm not sure if my recommendations are useful.

I guess known brands like CalDigit, Anker and maybe Cable Matters might work.
I still don't understand the conflict of interest. Valve is closer to pushbutton game compatibility than Apple, their translation kits are both based on DXVK and they both use tons of Codeweavers code. In a lot of ways, they're retreading the same path with zero tangible benefit to the user.

Obviously Game Porting Toolkit is not meant to be a crutch, but it's clear there's demand for games to work on Apple hardware. As a user, why are you opposed to having more options alongside Apple's more restricted, curated offerings?
Surprising that no one has made an Amazon list that one can just open and buy a reliable cable from.
Yes. It also provides access to the copyrightable elements of the code. In this respect the decompiled code is identical to the object code, which is also made up of a mixture of copyrightable and non-copyrightable elements. Combining copyrightable and non-copyrightable elements into one thing gives you a work that copyright can be asserted over. The argument in the case you cited is that the defendant extracted the non-copyrightable elements and built their own work based on those. That's not what's happening in the case under discussion here, which is derived from the copyrightable elements as well.

The bills aren't the only externalities from this design decision. Worked in an office a few years ago, brand new state of the art everything. Even the light switches were so damn modern and 201Xs that the lights were controlled by a server somewhere.

Funny thing happened when you pressed both the on and off button at the same time[1], based on empirical observatgions, both the turn-on-lamp and turn-off-lamp processes would spawn, and they'd both race against each other, almost turning the light on, almost turning the light off. So we got flickering disco lighting until someone called a technician to reboot the server. Good times.

[1] of course on and off they were discrete buttons, rocker swiches are so outdated.
I'd say Nix-the-language isn't that hard or weird. Nixpkgs-the-standard-library is much, much harder, and basically undocumented. Nixpkgs-the-repository is nice and search.nixos.org works well.

You need to let this one simmer down and see how it is self-contradictory.
Yes, or any other emulator.

This sounds more expensive than finding the platform with the cheapest compute. Figuring out when a platform should stop being supported could be better done by looking at telemetry of how many users exist or seeing how many companies have bought an active support package for that platform.

I'm not sure quite what you mean. You loved it but it was actually bad?

While certainly possible, it merits more discussion about why you loved it in the first place. What was new? Why did it earn such a solid place among classics? Why do so many other stories derive from it?
True. We'll have to see if they publish the background behind the paper here and/or if it's kept up to date. Paper was just published a few days ago.
Agree with sibling, works on my machine, I have over 2k bookmarks in FF. Make a new profile and reimport the bookmarks and see if this all still happens.

That said, all you have is the url and description if you don't tag, so yeah, it's hard for it to be really smart about what you are looking for. As another commenter mentioned, this is an area that an AI assist tagger or search would be useful. But the industry want to drive you to a search engine so you can be data mined and shown ads.
If you want to know quantities emitted currently and up to now, your graph was great.

But I didn't ask about that, I asked about the trend, so in fact you replied to me with a misrepresentation. It was highly inaccurate, and to see you sling around accusations feels a tiny bit rude after what you're posted.

The graph I posted is better for recognizing the trend, where things will be in the future. Is goal a growing or shrinking component of the energy mix? Shrinking.

Absolutes do matter, but so do trends. And if we are talking about the future, the trends matter more than the absolutes of the current.

Well that behaviour is generally discouraged and whenever I do so, I give some due consideration to how much I trust the website. I can also eyeball what the script is doing which is more practical than disassembling some binary although it's common for the script to download a binary. Also, a lot of "install" scripts will set your system up with the software repository, so you use the standard system updates to also keep that software updated.

The author added granite surface plates at atomic #69 (way out in the lanthanides) because:

> Granite flats can be used as mounting surfaces for machines that need to stay very accurately aligned. Dozens of these huge precision granite blocks were sold as scrap to a local stone dealer, and I happened to pull up in their lot just after they had unloaded them. Blocks were piled up everywhere, blocking the driveway and generally making a nuisance of themselves, so the owner offered to sell me a bunch cheap just to get them out of his hair. I was told that the two mounting surfaces on each block are flat and parallel within millionths of an inch. This could be true, and if it is you’re looking at some of the most expensive lawn furniture in the world. I rented a rough-terrain forklift to arranged them in my front yard. There they remain to this day, 25 years later. 25 million years from now they will probably still be there, buried under the debris of a thousand civilizations come and gone. [1]

Not to be a debbie downer but there's zero order to this "periodic" table. If there were, the granite plates would be somewhere in the first couple of rows as the foundation to the industrial revolution. We wouldn't have had precision manufacturing or 95% of the modern tools on that table without them. Building them was the first time humans figured out how to make perfect flat surfaces without which our world wouldn't be possible.
