The point is if you start with a good foundational layer, then a community can build greater things on top of it.

Of course, it will take time and if you're looking for a great library that can do everything out of the box, now, then you should pick Qt, there's no doubt about that.

>fish out things that are unpopular at random and give them 10% of results. On facebook or the like, do that for things that people DON'T want to see (conservative content for a progressive, for example).

I don't think that's nearly as easy a fix as you suggest. Sure, some political views may have reasonable opposing views, but the other side of the story when trying to look up the history of the measurement of the diameter of the earth is probably flat earth garbage.
If you spend the same time studying programming that you need to spend to become a good chess player then you will likely become a professional programmer which means you will make a decent living in most countries of the world.

Also, you can build interesting systems that actually improve peoples' lives whereas in chess you just sit on your ass calculating and memorizing stuff that affect nobody at all outside the game.

Until Afinity came out with their products I was still missing fireworks.
This actually makes me quite happy that most stuff does not come with a wall adapter anymore these days, but only with a USB plug.

There are much worse things than 7V that a bad adapter can output.

One of the scariest failure modes I’ve recently learned about is a supply that still provides 5V between both pins – but 225V and 230V to ground, respectively…
What, in your opinion / experience happened with web3?
I was working on performance critical .net applications. Reasoning about memory layout, cache locality and access patterns are exactly the same as in any other langauge. I don’t understand how that would be any different in a .net. Memory allocations are actually faster in a GC language, given a proper heap size. I’m assuming performance means mostly throughput here.

You probably lose more performance with the IPC/FFI than you gain, so my guess would be it was not a good choice.
TVS diodes can protect from transient voltage spikes when used properly (low impedance to the input connector, properly chosen and with the proper supporting circuitry)

Zener diodes can temporarily protect an overvoltage too but you will need something to take all that current that is now going through it, making it pretty hot and likely to fry something

You can pair something like this with a positive temperature coefficient thermistor to act as a fuse (as it gets hotter the resistance goes up).

These circuits are tricky to tune right, take up space and can add significant cost to a product. So with a drive in consumer products to lower cost smaller things you may not see them everywhere.
Touch screens are cheap and allow for post-release UI modifications.
I was referring to theoretical communism, the one where there's no private property for real, where everything is communally managed. Perhaps anarchocommunism is a better term. Tragedy of the commons gets the issue across just as well. In practice communist countries were highly centralized, agreed. All property was the private property of the state.

> benevolently protect the common resources on everyone's behalf

A resource is too abstract a notion. The things we're talking about here are services which can adapt and improve. In his essay, Marlinspike was trying to communicate that you can't federate or decentralize because "the ecosystem is moving" i.e. your centralized competitors are innovating and you have to keep up with them or ideally even exceed them. Mere protection here isn't good enough, it requires active change that may upset some stakeholders. Collectivism fails here because of its totalizing nature: there's one of everything, which is theoretically at least communal property. But then you have to please everyone, so the only changes you can make are the ultra-low risk ones and because you often don't know the risk, in practice that means you're forced to simply clone what is observed to work elsewhere. So you end up permanently behind and with time it gets harder and harder to keep up.

With competition that's less likely to happen, because there's an incentive to take risks and do things that may upset some existing users, if you think it'll please even more people who aren't your users today.

This is a core tension that appears whenever people talk about decentralization. It's the way the Bitcoin community lost the plot as well. Some people interpret it to mean "one universal totalising system which is collectively owned". Other people interpret it as "an interoperable system of many competitors that can innovate and diverge from each other when needed".
Nobody "proved" anything, a commenter provided evidence and you're choosing to draw conclusions from it.
Yes, I can confirm those are standard quickcharge specs.
Your comment has about the same amount of relevancy to a generic Bitcoin story as saying "9/11 never forget" in the comments of a story about Boeing airplanes.
It might be relevant to know though, that the way VW did their on-screen and on-steering wheel buttons where not state of the art. Glitches, missing feedback, latency etc.

Tesla also added more on-wheel capacitive buttons in their Model S refresh and got negative feedback, but they worked on it for the new Model 3 refresh and I only heard a much improved, basically physical button experience. Not to mention their non-existent UI lag on their screen.

So if customers only know laggy screens, and weird feeling buttons, maybe it is not always the right way forward to go backward.
There's a deceptively similar mark that stands for China Export and does not indicate EU certification[0].

I've understood the CE marking to mean that according to the manufacturer, the device shouldn't catch fire, shouldn't shock me, and shouldn't give off a lot of radio interference.

Never did I thank that would be some kind of "this is a great thing" approval stamp.

However, it never occurred to me that a USB-A charging brick would be able to give 7.5V, or even 9V or 12V as others have commented. That might completely fry some devices...

Yeah while not great it is still a step in the right direction (giving control to the developer).

Before this in the OpenJDK the developer had exactly 0 control. You just wrote code and hoped JDK would slap in vectorization etc.
I play competitive games in tournaments. I would disagree with your characterization.

Yes, people have a skill ceiling. However, it’s not something you’re ever going to get to by just playing most games.

People naturally improve at games when they start playing. Some factors being more familiarity with the game, and making less mistakes. However, people will stall out at different ratings at that point.

However, if you do deliberate practice in the game you will absolutely continue to get better. If you’re practicing specific scenarios, have focused areas of improvement, coaching, analyze your own replays, record your practice, and watch it: You will improve.

Yes, abstractly a “skill ceiling” out there exists for you, but you’re extremely unlikely to ever reach it in a game of skill unless you’re trying to go pro in it.

If putting time in were all that were required to reach your skill ceiling, we would have way more League of Legends Grandmasters. Unless you assume the people that go pro are all just more talented, and that their practice doesn’t make a difference.
What about using an email account as the data source?
The older i get the more i think, the project management paragdigm should be one of protecting the productive core at all costs from external disruptions.

This includes deriving the actual wanted goals early in the project, planning properly and the violently shield the engineers by keeping external factors like the management microcosm, stakeholders and non-developers busy with busywork, placated with blatant lies and overall away from doing damage. Regarding the engineer team organiziation - they will work something out.

They don't need that car-production-belt whistle and whip.
We all have access to the exact same information. Sure, for a first time on boarder, I'll point them the right way.

But 90% of the time someone taps on my shoulder, they want me to think for them. You can do that by yourself. Just send an email.
Anything with an AC/DC transformation would be fine, anything with an AC motor would be not. Partially, not the every compressor in a refrigerator would tolerate that.

But 170V... yikes!
Right-wingers like the authors of that essay like to claim that but the narrative falls apart when you look at the details. For example, the authors incorrectly make the general assertion that it was impossible to talk about the origins of COVID-19 or the efficacy of Ivermectin on Twitter, when anyone who used it then knows that there was tons of discussion and the few things which were blocked were false claims which were not just speculative but proven to be wrong. Actual scientists were discussing things like whether there could have been a lab leak, the people getting banned were making false claims about genetically-engineered Communist bio-weapons for political reasons or claiming that Ivermectin was a miracle cure in contradiction of all available scientific evidence. Despite being cursorily on the same topic, those aren’t the same conversation and only one of them was in good faith trying to learn the truth. If you grounded your statements in data and didn’t promise false certainty, you had nothing to fear.
Fair point, but given that some manufacturers have no problem at all to just blatantly use brand names without permission, having a CE mark is unfortunately not a sure sign that a device has ever been inside a certification lab…
It's never been a problem for me
Really informative article thanks, however, I think that "my two adorable cats" should have a link to the two adorable cats.
Most of them are either 110-240V appliances, or lose performance when it goes around 170, and you may not notice.

260V is in +/- 10% threshold and is possibly falls within "engineered in tolerance" range, but will probably shorten the life of many appliances if supplied constantly.
The only way to realistically use a non-tactile button is to take your eyes off the road to look at what you need to press. That's the issue, anything else is irrelevant. I'm glad they're going back to physical buttons, I won't buy a car that doesn't have them.
CE approval is not only a rubber stamp, it's a rubber stamp you get to apply yourself. By applying the CE mark you a certifying that your product fulfils all the necessary requirements and that you can document it, but no one will actually check. While it is illegal to apply the CE mark to a non-conforming product (or to sell or import non-conforming products with the CE mark), basically nobody gets prosecuted.

not sure I follow you. can you clarify what you mean by both 225v and 230v to ground? You are measuring the potential between ground and USB output?

The motivation is the same as what Steve claimed in the 2007 iPhone keynote – you have to reuse the buttons you put in the device for all interaction and that makes it clunky. And if you get a great new idea after you ship the product, then tough luck, you cannot change the buttons anymore.

I personally drive a Model 3 and would appreciate to have a few more physical buttons though. (But it's not a bug deal for me.)

Huh, not sure. I've found Bing chat to be actually useful compared to Google search. For some recent projects, Bing introduced me to a few very useful packages that I wouldn't have known even existed, if I had stuck to Google search. I've only seen Bing fail for my use cases when I drafted queries that I wanted it to fail: for example, asking some esoteric question on how to beat the Burmese 1st mission of Age of Empires in under 10 minutes. In most cases, Bing is actually a good enough replacement for a market research bullshitter, for cases where I'm looking for non-exact data.

> some of my colleagues just put noise-suppression headphones

Great. Now the rest of us have to put up with even more noise.

People wearing headphones make a lot more noise themselves. Presumably because they don't hear the noise they make. Suddenly there's heavy breathing, sighs, grunts, moans, inaudible and sometimes disturbingly audible mumbling, humming &c.

We segregate responsibilities so no one has complete control of the PostgREST project. For example, begriffs[1] is in charge of handling the funds (Patreon), wolfgangwalther[2] owns the .org and .com domains and both are owners of the PostgREST's GitHub org. For development, this ensures I don't go crazy and add some feature that is Supabase-specific, since I'm not the only one who has a say in the project's direction.

This has been working well until now and if you follow PostgREST's development, you'll notice that all enhancements are vendor-neutral and keep the original design.

We're a much smaller team but we took some inspiration from PostgreSQL distributed model (no single company owns development) for this.

This VW solution really is worst of both worlds, as these are capacitive surfaces with printed symbols. So you cannot really iterate on them post-release.
I really like some bits of Ruby but I kept hitting really annoying parts. e.g.

For hard problems (months/years), I think it requires cycling through both context states for a time. This is something nootropics proponents often tend not to recognize.

Some hard problems will persist, no matter the amount of resources thrown at the issue. At some point a Plan B becomes C though Z, and its time to prune the project scope to ever hit a launch date.

Quickly recognizing when a team has lost is important. =)
To make this a bit more concrete, imagine you were passing the identity function into another function or context, but then using it both with an Int term, and a Bool term. Thus by inference that identity function has the type Int->Int, and Bool->Bool. Under Curry, this is ok, but under Church, it is not.

I don't think it has much to do with static vs dynamic, or indeed type labels.
Not sure I can tell one way or the other. Apple design has always seemed like a lost cause. Typing from a macbook pro with edges everywhere sharp enough to hurt, and which promotes fingerprint smudges all over the screen even when simply opening it.

I recently played The Zone[0], which is loosely based on Roadside Picnic/Stalker, and it’s the first time I found myself welling up with emotion in an RPG. I’ve played D&D since I was a teenager, but this game similarly has no dice, and describing my character’s tragic death that was poetic and heartbreaking was truly a different experience. Definitely recommend branching out and trying something outside your comfort zone.

I'd say that if you have some programming experience, about half an hour would be reasonable to implement and understand each tutorial - but there's a lot more to be had squeezing or polishing if you have the time.

Also, it doesn't matter if you do some late, or decide to skip any.

The article doesn't seem to answer why. Which is very answerable. Lets focus on the USA specifically.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/government-debt-t...

Debt to GDP had a nice leap in 2020. The government took on significant increases in debt. While GDP did continue to increase.

The Treasury bill yields inverted. When this happens, nobody is buying their debt. So it goes on the 'balance sheet' the balance should be at basically 0. The pre-2009 nominal balance wasn't a problem.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/central-bank-bala...

What you will see, during the financial crisis the USA federal government effectively went bankrupt. Has been bankrupt since. Nobody wants to hold enough of their debt anymore.

But countries can never go bankrupt.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/money-supply-m2

Basically the federal government printed so much new money it caused high inflation.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/core-inflation-ra...

Thusly resulting in a unusual huge increase in inflation.

This isn't free money. The USA will try its best to pull money out of their reserve currency balance but in so doing because of no gold standard will start removing the USA from being a reserve currency.

Or what is happening, anyone holding onto currency or currency likes that are returning below inflation are the ones who pay for the government's spending.

This will be exceptionally hard on people holding downpayment funds. Not to mention anyone who lives paycheque to paycheque and doesn't receive a raise in excess to inflation. They are the ones who pay for the government's deficit spending.

Anywhere where automation is cheaper is basically an answer for you. If it can be automated it will be.

Hi, author here, I've fixed that in the post now.
Private rooms are not cheap and it would be hard to justify for junior programmers. And having private space just for middle level folks is bad for morale and learning of junior folks.

But yeah for companies which just employs senior folks this should be the norm.
If you can get a hold of the manufacturer, sure. But don’t count on Amazon or other marketplaces helping you with that: They’re not a reseller, as they’ll be happy to tell you; no liability! (And no responsibility for collecting customs payments either.)
Are you measuring RMS voltage or just the instantaneous voltage?

An RMS voltage of 230V corresponds with a peak voltage of ~325V so reading of 260V could theoretically happen.
No, you don't. You need to communicate it effectively to 6 people and be open enough so they aren't waiting for the 15 minutes you claim to have free. IN general, if folks have a question and can easily see that you don't want to be interrupted right then, they'll wait a bit.
What’s stopping you from making an incremental contribution like Einstein and earning yourself a Nobel like he did?
perhaps a they meant a zener diode, which can be used to clamp a voltage? The downside being that it dissipates the excess energy across it's self.

> how would a loose cable cause a voltage spike?

From the top of my flu-y head, connecting and disconnecting an inductive load (like a motor) can cause spikes. However in USB land, that's pretty rare.

dc-dc step up devices use an oscillator to charge and discharge an inductor to achieve a certain voltage increase. They _could_ be noisy when starting up, or have transient load.
Funny enough, the Taos and Jetta, which are their cheapest models, have physical buttons for volume and climate control and there isn't this level of friction using the car. I have a Taos, so I paid less for a better experience than a GTI or ID4 driver.
Of course there is a balance needed. But spending once 3 hours to search something might increase familiarity with the resources the intranet provides. So the next question could be answered way faster. Or it could be the occasion to improve the local intranet with some missing cross reference or some comment.

One way is to multi-verse out of it another is to recognize the limitations of that methodology.

While in principle you get to keep your methodology in the first approach, by definition you are now also left with unobservable phenomena flirting with the platonic world.

In the same vein reflecting about the methodology also enters the realm of philosophy. But imho in a more honest way by calling out the default, construct another and get back into physics.

A lot of platonic thinking prevalent in mathematics and physics isn't overtly discussed, mostly out of convenience as one mathematician put it: in my workdays I'm a Platonist and on my weekends I can also afford to be an Intuitionist.
