Having a standardized system for that only makes Nix more complicated, not less. Now you have two parallel configuration systems to worry about. And the "simple" one will inevitably accrue more and more features to address its lack of flexibility. That's like the first law of config languages.
Now you inexplicably have two parallel configuration systems to do one thing

Disney has a lot to answer for. They may have gained from the constant increase of the copyright period, but the World of Performing Arts has lost decades and decades of books, film and music that was too good to lose but not popular enough to be preserved.

They've all fallen into the dead hole of oblivion. The World's loss, but Disney doesn't care. Everything they get their grubby little fingers on turns to shit.

There is a reason a lot of us boycott Disney.

This is not about ICE vs EV, this is about big vs small. Opulent vs necessary. Like the mayor is quoted saying in the article: It's about "very expensive cars, driven by people who today have not yet made the changes to their behaviour that have to be made". Heavy cars pollute more with their tires and brakes. That is why even heavy electric cars are affected.

What does the size of the car have to do with pollution? My point was that EVs (even 2 ton EVs) cause much less pollution than even very compact ICE cars. If the parking fees are about the size of cars, then they should be taxed by volume or footprint area.

Same behavior in my cat as in the first one you describe. Did it for a year or two, not my idea, the cat is the one that thought it up. No treats or training involved, the cat would bring me the ball to throw and then go get it.

I know, also from experience because it was something I specifically tested, I can do this in the time I take to pick up the device, or take it out of my pocket.

Unless your concern is your device is out of your control when it is seized, in which case you could mitigate your concern by locking it when it will be out of your control, or if you really want to just never enable biometric authentication. Of course that puts you back in the bucket of every time you unlock your device it can be observed.
Out of curiosity, why a pickup at all? I so rarely need to haul things with kids in the car that I've taken to just renting or borrowing as needed.

Apparently it's two problems. But the only one I noticed described dealt with maximally packing boxes (the exact opposite of what Amazon does).
I've been recently toying around with dynamically switching between DuckDB and BigQuery on query time. So you have a layer of standard SQL in front, which uses sqlglot to translate it to compute-specific SQL. So e.g. you can use DuckDB for development or low to medium-sized datasets, and switch to BQ for big datasets.

In theory, it sounds great, but in practice you indeed lose database-specific operators, you should restrain from using database-specific optimisations, etc...

We now have a 20-year long large-sample test : lots of kids (then) read only Harry Potter books. Did they turn into readers of other, better books? I honestly don't know, but I think you need to be open to empirical tests of the hypothesis, whatever the results show.

Your argument works just the same as "my kid hates his vegetables, so he just eats burgers, fries, and ice cream." A good parent strategizes this problem rather than just giving in.
> A 2 ton Model Y produces much less pollution than an ICE compact car.

Because a 1.5t Zoe pollutes even less :P We can argue about the cut-off line, but it'll be arbitrary - the only thing for certain is that the mayor seems to agree with the sentiment.
I studied CS in Germany and pretty quickly learned not to buy textbooks too fast: lecture was announced with book X as necessary to have.

On my iOS device, according to the battery report in the Settings app, the Traccar client does appear to use about 8% of my battery throughout the day. Google doesn’t show up at all, however, which doesn’t seem correct at all, so I’m not sure Google isn’t doing something to hide its true consumption from the OS.
Yeah people tend to overestimate the needs of solar power and underestimate the extent of America. Take for example California. It could very easily be powered by a PV installation about the size of Edwards Air Force Base, which is << 1% the extent of the state. Not every state is so lucky, but there are grids.

If you sacrificed 10% of Nevada, which history shows we are more than ready to do, that alone would quite easily power America.
Who's advocating that? My point was in response to unspecified concerns that I took to be that we wouldn't be able to support the population if we have too much solar, which is emphatically not true.
Ooh I love my lettera 32!
Answering from a US point of view... Generally, the total cost of leasing a car is going to be more than the total cost to buy a car on a loan and resell the car in the same time period. In a perfect market, I think the difference in the total cost of loan versus lease is essentially the value of transferring risk from the consumer to the lessor as to whether the car retains its anticipated residual value at the end of the term.

With a loan, the buyer pays off the principal and interest and absorbs any discrepancy between the resale value and the remaining debt. With a lease, the lessor absorbs the discrepancy as long as the consumer meets the other stipulations of the lease, such as mileage limits and maintenance. The lessor acts almost like an insurer to charge fees and absorb this risk across a whole fleet of cars.
On our side, Okta is saying the auth is good.

I'm trying my personal account as well and it's telling me MFA isn't set up (it is) and it's making me go through the MFA setup flow again. All attempts to setup another 2FA code in 1Password or to get even an SMS code sent to my phone are failing.

Edit: Personal account with a TOTP 2FA is working again now as well.

This is feeling worse than they're letting on to.

Ask HN: How to get started with practical hardware?
Hi HN!

For a long time, I've wanted to learn how to build projects which "bridge" the gap between software and hardware. I've learned to solder decently well and operate 3d printers, but have found myself absolutely stumped with progressing to a real practical project.

Sample projects which get me excited: microcontroller to turn coffee machine on some basic SMS controlled minibot- really anything practical, so I can start to deeply understand the harware construction process / first principles of hardware.

Are there any seminal (and practical) guides, books, or projects which could get a software engineer well-acquainted with the basics of hardware?
I don't think it's just the tone. At the start of the article, it implies relation and CRUD approaches should and will be replaced by Event Sourcing approach, but he doesn't support that, or even provide a good sense of pros and cons. In one of his comments (comment section) he mentions that the article was supposed to be a "how" not "why", and links to a "why" article, but that "why" article also doesn't do a good job of why with pros and cons.

In summary: not a good presentation of the pros and cons which allows a person to clearly identify under what conditions this approach might be a reasonable tool.

Additional note: A typical competing model, IME, is a relational model that writes business events at the same time state updates occur.
Nice idea! You would need fewer “backup commits” then :-)
What law do you think Apple is breaking by preventing beeper usage?
Ok forget everything I wrote. What I was getting at is, if we can entertain the idea of manifestation (that inner thoughts affect outer reality), then it's hard to eliminate all of the concepts I mentioned. I'm not listing them as fact, but as avenues to pursue in one's one metaphysical ponderings. This says it much better:

https://aeon.co/essays/how-the-internet-became-the-modern-pu...

cause/effect <-> mechanic <-> science <-> action <-> knowledge <-> intelligence <-> productivity/success

vs:

manifestation <-> miracle <-> magic <-> perception <-> awareness <-> wisdom <-> consciousness

Modern technology is becoming indistinguishable from magic. So "modern" approaches applying intelligence are finding themselves trailing "ancient" practices divining wisdom.

I think that moving from objective reason to subjective meaning could heal much of what is wrong with the world.
Encryption at rest is not supported in the community/free version of MongoDB.

Something that might be missing from these discussions is when event driven architecture is even appropriate. The short answer is if your customer did something and expects a response it's not even driven, that's just request/response.

Event driven is when something happens out of band. E.g. you push your code to GH, which triggered a build. In this example, you reloading the page to see that your updated code is request/response, however that CI build that was enqueued is event driven.

Hope that helps.

I've seen an iot app do it via multicast - the destination MAC isn't encrypted in the wifi frames, and the last one or two bytes of them are controlled by the sending app.

I figured this out when I tried to debug why the pairing didn't work from my phone, but did from an old Samsung A2: the iot device only had a 2.4ghz module, my new phone was on 5ghz...

Because heavy electric cars still pollute more than light electric cars through tire and brake particles. Taxing by size would be neat, but I understand that that would make the calculation even more complicated.
I get the impression that Western companies (and Chinese companies with non-disposable brands marketed in the West) can have GPL enforced against them.

For example: https://sfconservancy.org/activities/

I know one of the other dynamics is when the GPL copyright holder is more of a crunchy-granola hippie guru, who might just want to lovingly bring the lost soul into the fold, because they know not what they do.

That's really not a deterrent to the people who know exactly what they're doing.

Personally, I'd like to see copyright holders be less flower-child toward abusers, and more like a Scout who was helping an elderly person across the street, when they were attacked by a group of violent racists. It's not time to turn the other cheek, but to grab a heavy stick.
There's a lot I could say, but for now I need to keep it brief. The practical side of the transition (visa, bank account, social security number, renting, etc.) was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The area around Seattle is vastly different to Cambridge (for starters, it's not flat), and there's so many outdoor activities to do, such as hiking and skiing. It's not as wet as people make it out to be, but you'll want to layer up, and it is wetter than Cambridge. It's generally quite cyclable within the city, and there are good cycle trails further afield. The bike lanes are improving, but it helps to have an ebike for the hills. There's more board game shops, and surprisingly it's easier to get a good cup of tea. I'm actually back in Cambridge now, but feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.

You were advocating for absolutely massive lowering of living standards. As clearly eating less meat is making live lot worse. I just took on myself to present next logical and less bad step.

I'm not sure what you're exactly saying so we might be talking at cross purposes. I also see this was 4 days ago so not sure if you'll ever see my response let alone reply :D (hello future person who happens to see this!)

On Mac+iOS your devices learn places where they often stay, that information is never exposed to apple at all. I can't recall from the massive product security document whether these are "never leave the device" or "only ever in the end-to-end encrypted synchronized storage". Hence without an update that apple pushed to every device to specifically undermined that privacy protection, there's no way for apple to answer the question of "which devices hang out around this location".

If you get to the point of law enforcement being able to do that, then no amount of device security on any device matters, because even if you were to try and use a custom android image we've reached a point where law enforcement could also just say "a device cannot boot an OS it cannot confirm will obey the spy-on-users legislation". That's why it's so important that these various nonsense laws of compelled spying for any purpose get blocked.
Really? How many open source databases do you offer? Some may say it’s not right for randos to complain when you give something away and they complain that it’s missing basics. I just happy someone else wrote most of what I need and I can extend it if needed.

In contrast, I just went to New Haven CT for the pizza, and stumbled into the Yale art gallery. I didn't expect much but 3rd floor, Modern and Contemporary Art and Design was expertly curated.

https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/52939

All of the pieces in the room where this piece were all played with light in fascinating ways and the layout sort of took you through a day.

This piece linked was positioned at the end of the gallery into the next so as t o look like the light was spilling in from the next gallery itself.

If you are in New Haven it's free and a great way to lose a few hours.
Your detective powers have revealed my inner secret. I don't like big cars...

Because they care bad for the environment. Because they take up a lot of space. Because they are unsafe, especially for others.

Tire and road particles are quite serious. You are correct that an ICE car is worse, and yes in a perfect world we'd ban them entirely. But there are many reasons for why that is difficult. Paying a small tax for extravagant vehicles for the greater good of a community is not a problem.

If anything 2 tons is way too much. We need more incentives to make light vehicles. Not just deterrents for way too big cars.
Good to know. I see "just use 320K" as the mantra in a lot of forums, but I also see people claiming they can hear the difference between Opus @ 128K and 192K, which I promise you I do not. Frankly, 96K and 64K are pretty great to my ears.
I wrote about a more relaxed version of this, some years ago. See Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar.

I wrote it to explain the techniques I use to compete as a technical guy who dropped out of high school.

It’s actually not very hard to compete if you see education as an ongoing process of personal construction, rather than some plug of knowledge that an expert gave you (along with a certificate).

I collect books and papers which I ignore until I have a relevant problem, at which point I go into a process of intensive inquiry similar to that describe in the post.
What the fuck does "aren't competing with each other" mean?

They are cars. They do the same shit, take you from point A to point B. That's the definition of competing with each other.

Also, most of this world isn't made up by overpaid Valley developers but people who care about cost.

I'm buying the cheapest, couldn't give a fuck that it's electric if it costs more. And like me there are billions.
