The EU is surrounded by a bunch of dictatorships. Not exactly the ones you want to have you by the balls for something as important as energy.

If anyone is considering attempting this, please ensure you first educate yourself about thermal runaway.

Using a collection of old lithium batteries like this can be extremely dangerous, and without exaggeration, it can kill you.

When (yes when, it will happen) one battery overheats and catches fire, it will cause the others to do the same, leading to a significant fire.
During combustion, these batteries also emit gases, so put this into a box and you risk an explosion on top of the fire.
you forgot to mention "slow loading emails", and I might add "I don't remember signing up to this newsletter", or "ok I signed up to this newsletter but this article triggers me" etc.

This "users can't handle fine-grained control" philosophy is stupifying users IMO. Granted, many don't have the knowhow, but they could just use the (hypothetical) dislike button, and the anti-spam AI could in that case place little weight to their judgement call. The interested user could instead be placed on a journey to be ever more adept at identifying email misuse.

Edit: as another commenter mentions, at present these completely unreliable signals to the anti-spam software causes for example Gmail to put perfectly legit emails in the spam folder - so I have to wade through a load of junk anyway (otherwise the legit messages in there gets deleted after 30 days).

The system is broken, and people reporting irrelevant things as spam is most likely a part of it.

Well, people either shit in the streets or emptied their piss-pots into them. If you were lucky enough (?) to have access to a communal toilet it was shared with a large number of people and likely just emptied into the street anyway. Everything eventually flowed to the Thames which must have stank. Horse shit everywhere. I'm sure there was dog shit everywhere too. Honestly the smell of feet and armpits was probably tame and "natural" by comparison.
The share button is the next step: Ctrl+V.

At least on Apple devices, it allows you to “paste” things in surprisingly unlikely places. With some finesse, you can even add custom actions on MacOS like passing it to a shell script that downloads and then pipes it into ffmpeg or whatever. Yeah I use it a lot

I would say as often as the tools somehow annoy you and stop you from effectively focusing on using them. There is always a threshold, but at point you are over it. You should at least take a look how to fix it.
> Why are they outrageous?

Because the price is a very large multiple of market prices.

The Korean ISPs are using their termination monopoly to rent seek.

> I've yet to see a reason that Netflix/twitch/etc. having to pay for the infrastructure they profit massively from is a bad thing.

Netflix/twitch/etc. already pay for their global infrastructure to bring services to Korea.

Korean ISPs are already paid by their users for the Korean infrastructure. It is totally unreasonable for Korean ISPs to be double dipping for something they have already paid for.

It is not Netflix/twitch/etc that are originating the traffic, but Korean end users REQUESTING the traffic. The Korean end users paid for Internet access, the Korean ISPs should deliver.

To reiterate, the Internet is not a PUSH medium. The Internet is a PULL medium.

In the good all days, all content was hosted in the US. Is that what the Korean ISPs want to go back to? Are they itching for doing all that investment into billion dollar subsea cable systems?

> If they have to pay a larger share, it means that services that don't use as much can be charged a much more reasonable rate

How about no?

Market prices for bandwidth are a fraction of a penny per gigabyte.

A fraction of a penny isn’t a problem, but Korean ISPs price gouging is.
> The Korean government / ISPs justification for (effectively) removing net neutrality is that services such as Netflix/Twitch put an undue strain on the internet infrastructure that shouldn’t be borne by every user.

Netflix/Twitch don't put any "strain on the internet infrastructure" since they don't just gratuitously blast terabytes of UDP traffic to Korean IP addresses or something. The _users_ who paid of _internet access_ are using their connection to... access the Internet! And most popular internet services are obviously consuming significant amount of traffic. The ISPs can introduce bandwidth usage limits or try to actively throttle the connections to particular services, but they just prefer to double dip and milk the businesses instead. Strange that I have to explain such things on HN of all places...
Traditional CS is not in vogue at ex-USSR universities. Poring over type systems and pure functions just never caught up over here, compared to good old Knuth-worth "close to metal" CS.

In my case I was fed up with ads and subscribed to the YouTube Premium Lite offering 2 years ago, in September I got an email with:

> Thank you for being one of our first Premium Lite members.

> We’re writing to let you know that after October 25, 2023, we will no longer offer your version of Premium Lite.

And so I refused to be nudged into a more expensive subscription, YT didn't give me any more information why that subscription wasn't being offered so fuck them, I will use ad blockers for as long as they work.

There is a saying that "physics is a subset of reality that can be approximated by coupled harmonic oscillators".

If they are purely linear - it is simple; just write a matrix of their spring coefficients and diagonalize it. If there are non-linear terms, well, then it isn't. This is the case in one of the Quantum Field Theory (and its instance, the Standard Model), the most fundamental theory describing particles. One of the takes on Feynman diagrams is that it is a series approximation of non-linear interactions in the QFT.

Centralized notifications is not a "genius solution", it is the "only possible solution" for power-constrained devices, if you think about it. Same thing applies to Android: in ideal world it keeps a single connection open to GCM servers to listen for notifications for ALL apps on the device, and then routes messages to the appropriate applications they are intended for.

I mean, to some degree I see where you're coming from. PHP extensions can be written in C, so you can drop down to lower level as needed. Hardly different than Python in that regard. PHP is just something I've always just used in a Web serving context, so pre-populated $_GET, $_POST, etc.

I would hope argv and argc at least are passed by default in PHP programs on the command line. New experiment unlocked I guess.
That only makes sense of optimism doesn't affect important choices.

Which of course it does. As a lot of crypto investors who lost everything will tell you.

Even more important is something like climate change. Low-cognitive optimists are far more likely to say "It'll be fine" than the high-cognitive scientists who are running around screaming with their hair on fire metaphorically, before everyone's hair starts burning literally.

Brexit was another example.
A fusion reactor is the long term game. Sure we could use that money to add more capacity to the grid, but what we need is to take fossil fuels offline and 200 GW would barely make a dent in the production from coal if the consumption continues to increase. In 2022 it was estimated that coal produced 44000 TWh and that number increase at an alarming rate every year.

So we need to do something to meet the futures energy demands, but we also need to do something today. The smart thing is to invest in what we can do today, solar, wind and batteries, and invest what we can do in the near future, better fission reactors is one possibility, and invest in the long term, that could be fusion. It would be foolish to only invest in one of them.

Ask HN: What are some excellent blogs, news boards, YouTube channels to follow?
Hacker News is the sole platform I discovered that caters to the type of information I want to stay updated with. I like it a lot.

While browsing YouTube, I sometimes discover stuff that interests me and that I've missed, like OpenAI drama, Helix Editor, and Qualcomm Oryon CPU. Then it feels like it is necessary to keep browsing youtube to stay updated, but youtube then sucks up a lot of my time.

I wanted to gather some good quality resource suggestions (besides hacker news) from where I could gather my news regularly, and stay updated with tech, computer science, and anything groundbreaking. And not fall into YouTube's recommendation engine trap.

Can you guys please suggest some?
Possibly unrelated, but youtube videos stopped playing on Safari on my iPhone yesterday. Previously, Youtube would play via Safari, and the ads wouldn't. This was apparently a bug / unimplemented feature. I do have AdGuard (non-premium) on my phone as well as overly-aggressive lists on my Pihole, so it's possible there's something new going on there. It looks like free Youtube may be coming to an end.
I originally replied to comment stating:

> Yeah no. Emails which include an unsubscribe link are legit enough to not do that. Actual spammers don't bother to include an unsubscribe link.

I found a phishing email with unsubscribe link. Thus I think we can generalize that emails containing unsubscribe in general are not legit nearly enough of times to trust that. Thus only correct and safe way is to mark them as spam and let the email provider eventually to handle them correctly for everyone.
I don't wish to be tracked by Google.

If I paid for YouTube Premium then I voluntarily provide even more tracking data to Google. If they offered an ad free tier where you weren't tracked then I would pay for it.

Since Google don't respect people's right to privacy or to watch content ad free I don't pay them and instead use ad blockers locally and pay for a proxy server with ad blocking DNS.
Isobutane is one of the most common refrigerants in use today...

The comments section mentioned TikTok, of course, because it's a Chinese company!

Chinese tech giants have long been ahead of the curve in terms of privacy infringement compared to various Western countries.

The practices of YouTube are already outdated in China. For instance, China's largest video platform, Bilibili, prefers to compress video links containing a large number of tracking parameters into short links, making it impossible for you to use something plugins to remove tracking parameters.
It seems to me that they're not unsurprised, and so they're actually surprised.

The answer (for woodworking and just about anything else): as soon as it isn't sharp enough. Which is after between 5 minutes to 2 days of usage. Most important is to not wait too long, because the sharpening takes way longer and your work suffers - but it is _really_ annoying having to stop working to sharpen your blades (or even saw blades). That's why it's good to have another chisel or plane (or whatever) handy, which is sharpened - although my wife somehow disagrees with that argument. And yes, sharpening tools is the single most important skill when working wood (with hand tools, as in "non-powered-hand-tools").

But what he is talking about is _changing_ tools. I actually do not have a good analogy to tool sharpening while programming, the only one I could think of is fixing errors or warnings as soon as your LSP (or whatever) displays them. Or refactoring code as soon as possible (although too early does cause problems).
Not specifically JSONB, but I do recall that with MongoDB's equivalent, BSON, the sizes of the binary equivalent tend to be larger in practice, I would expect JSONB to have a similar trade off.

There'll also be a conversion cost if you ultimately want it back in JSON form.
The recently enacted DMA requires interoperability. Unless Apple wins its case against iMessage being classified as a gatekeeper service, it'll be required to support interoperability.

The game dev example is really cool. I've never encountered a situation where "more sorted" is better for performance but completely sorted doesn't really matter (or maybe I have, but didn't know it).

When you read Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming he challenges you to come up with your own sorting algorithm. I feel really fortunate that I was able to do this without knowing any algorithms already. I came up with bubblesort. I think it was the intuition of thinking about it becoming "more sorted" on each pass that led me there.
It’s certainly possible, and the right thing to do.

But I have personally seen multiple times the “fake it till you make it” attitude in marketing products. I would have rather seen the other approach, but in the end it worked to get it off the ground.
What actually works is "as soon as you start thinking whether you should sharpen them or not".
i pay for premium. But funny thing, this will not disable the tracking, so I still use the ublock. I've also had problems when visiting my parents in another country and background play was blocked bc yt premium was not available there, even if i was a paying customer. At that time I was using yt in firefox mobile with background play. I also still get sponsored ads and need to use the sponsorblock extension, that does not work for yt mobile app. In other words paying premium solves a small subset of problems and gives a worse experience compared to ppl that use ublock+sponsorblock in the browser

I realize that this is an American site rooted in American culture, just like Elon himself.

As a Danish person, most of Elon't claim sound ridiculous. He is basically saying, that because the American unions negotiate special elevators for senior staff then Scandinavian unions are an issue.

> Europe must be either being morally destroyed via too much comfort

I think it's this. Honestly (as a Pole) I was very surprised by how much support Ukraine has received from Europe and US. During the first weeks of war, as I was expecting Ukraine to be completely abandoned, or receive token help (German helmets etc.).

Luckily, the geopolitical math worked in Ukraine's favor, and US decided to weigh in. Now, it might change at any moment, as US has no loyalty to its allies and is capable of abandoning them with extreme ease (see: Vietnam, Afghanistan), based on changing voters preferences and current politics in Washington.

It should be a goal. It's less than 2 years since a former EU ally used our dependence on them for energy as a bargaining tool.

Can fully agree that Clojure(Script) really is a blessing and a great choice for many projects smallish or big. Frankly, Clojure is the first language I did professional programming in, with a little bit of experience in C, Python, PowerShell, Java, Bash, SQL before to solve university assignments or to help with systems administration/ some analytics of traffic dumps etc.
We program OrgPad in Clojure+ClojureScript and it was a good decision, even as we have more than 100kloc of code. It is approachable and if I write a bit of code, I am fairly certain that it will do what I imagine. I didn't have that to that degree not even in Python, PowerShell or Bash, it is a completely different league, quite possibly game.

The REPL workflow is really nice, my colleague did a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4igO7Qbyj9o

Nowadays, even some functions/ short tasks or small projects can be served by Babashka/ nbb in places where you would often consider switching from Bash to Python.
I don't know if it's true of SQLite, but you missed the most important point at least with PostgreSQL : you can build indexes directly against attributes inside JSONB which really turns it into a true NoSQL / relational hybrid that can let you have your cake and eat it too for some design problems that don't fit neatly into either pure relational or pure NoSQL approaches.

I've found that you can also refresh the page until YouTube knows you're just wasting their bandwidth and gives up serving ads for a while, or open the video in Incognito mode where it seems to give you a grace period.

I don't understand why would anyone use these services under their real name and postal address instead of a P.O. Box. For low-value targets like most of us that should be enough.

My understanding is that those international degrees in the UK, at 100k+ GBP a pop, are mostly for the well-off elites of "third world" countries - successful businesspeople, corrupt politicians etc. They can spend such amounts on their children without blinking an eye.

> Service providers like anywhere, net neutrality be damned, run Deep Packet Inspection boxes that have no other purpose in life but to negotiate down your connections for whatever you do the ISP finds egregious.

Yeah, no.

Even Comcast stopped using DPI.

DPI is a scourge imposed mainly by US cell carriers on their customers. Wireline ISPs don’t need it.

Countries with working regulatory bodies do not have issues with DPI.

Instead, monopoly ISPs will run their peering links hot and force any content providers to buy paid peering directly.
