It's hard to not take the M in MVP too seriously...

But I have to take it seriously...

I've broken into MVP 1, MVP 2, etc..

* I suspect HTML5 Canvas is the easiest tool that would get the job done - I mention this because in my mind, I know the limitations of Canvas, and I think they line up quite while with what I'm imagining. It's possible something else could be easier to start with, but might not be able to easily implement ALL of these features I've laid out... But I think it's possible to get started with just CSS. [1]

* An open source and easily appended list of tile families and their descriptors (size of tiles, positions of them, etc.) and the link to their licensing

* Let you pick a tile family

* Let you select a tile as your current brush - every click places a tile

---

* Select an eraser that deletes tiles that you click within

* Pick the background to use (such as parchment [respect their licensing, too], or just solid colors)

* Select a tool to move existing tiles by clicking within them, dragging them

---

* A way to filter tile families (and backgrounds) by licensing ("show me only CC0", "show CC0 or CCBY3.0 etc.")

* change the size of your image map

* image map can be bigger than your browser window (with scrolling)

---

* Change the size of the tiles you are about to paint

* Change the color of the tiles you are about to paint

* Change the opacity of the tiles you are about to paint

* Change the rotation of the tiles you are about to paint

---

* Pick a font, size, color, bold, italic

* Type text

* The Eraser can delete text

* The Mover can move text

---

* The Eraser can also drag through things to erase them

* Turn on and off a grid to snap tiles to

* Save as JSON button (x, y, tile id)

* Load from JSON button

* Save as Image button (otherwise people can use a screen scraper themselves)

* The image is a PNG which has the JSON encoded in it as EXIF so it's easy to restore and continue

Massachusetts lawmakers mull 'killer robot' bill
How about every charge they pass you after you contact them in any verifiable way (including submitting a support ticket to their website and taking a screenshot, sending their support email an email, or writing a letter) requesting cancellation they have to pay back to you triple.

Then the ball's in their court. You're happy to let them keep charging you, it's an investment.

I bet that would get them off their asses.
Where do they show that?
Now it's "AI", but VCs are getting wise to it.
LA Fitness you just go to the website, click cancel, then print out the letter and mail it in.
Agree, but it is a closed service. Hacking for shit-n-giggles is fine. Doing it for security research and bug bounties is also fine. Offering another service (and planning to charge, no less!) that uses that closed service without concent isn't, irresepective of motive or ethics. Ethically, whether you advocate FOSS or not, it is wrong. I'm no Stallman fan, but I admire his ethics here; if it's closed, he won't entertain using a service.
SiriusXM made the very grave mistake of starting their business before the invention of the iphone. This will be studied in MBA schools for decades.

The classical caveat of any fully automated system - it works well when everyone has it.
Resampling, regularizing, binning and forward/backward filling time series data is an absolute pain in the ass using only SQL and/or vanilla python. It does its thing well, there.

While there are many legitimate questions about Wikipedia’s openness to new edits and editors, this is such a wild topic derail that I find it a little suspicious. Are you arguing that this isn’t a great loss for freedom of speech?
Yes. That significantly raises the barrier, and reduces the risk of accidental enrollment.

And once that's burned into the UEFI, I'd like it plastered all over; maybe as part of the boot logo "This device belongs to Expedia"; there will be no risk of someone buying the device (perhaps on the used market) and not realize they don't own it.

Of course, there should also be an un-enrollment option for when companies decommission devices so they can be reused instead of just trashed, but that's an environmental concern not a security one.

When the consensus was that schools should teach mainstream Protestant values, you were sanguine about it. But it wasn't principle that located public school values there; it was consensus-seeking. The consensus has shifted. It'll shift again. There's nothing improper about any of that. You'll have to argue against the values schools are teaching on the merits, not based on some claim of impropriety.
Someone in South America had a subscription for a US company.

I think with good planning they can significantly lower the peaks, and if you have abundance say in Europe you can sell it to other states.
The market decides by not buying devices that empower apps to spy on them.
Status quo fatalities == Bad humans

A significant proportion of the current fatal accident rate is based on incidents which involve driving so bad that humans implicated are severely punished for it, or at least banned from driving for a period.

Why would anyone set the benchmark for a commercial driving company lower?
"shifting construction costs to ratepayers" is done for pretty much all energy projects. This is like saying gasoline refineries shift their costs to people buying gas at the pump.

Waste management is a total red herring. The total amount of waste the US nuclear power industry has produced fits in a volume the footprint of a football fields and 10 yards high [1]. Nuclear power plants have to pay the cost of their nuclear waste disposal up front, it's already internalized into their costs. We already have nuclear waste facilities dug into bedrock, their actual use is being held up by political posturing.

FWIW, I don’t think you should wait. I bought this year’s samsung s95c qd-oled, and it is such a nice looking display that I feel we’re well into the territory of diminishing returns of further improvements. I was struck by how much nicer 4k hdr movies look compared to the last few times I went to a movie theatre.

The only real downside is that now I notice just how much content is not 4k hdr. Improving the upscaler’s software would probably make a bigger real world difference than improving the panel, at least for me.
Good point. I’m one of those “never-ORM” people, so writing & maintaining the SQL is prone to error when the DB gets complex, and it does introduce mental overhead during dev.
That's a good question to ask. I've always assumed nobody would ever develop without local. Been lucky I guess.

> Your "freedom" is allowing kids to be abused since they don't have the checks of other adults being able to see them.

At what cost? Innocent until proven guilty means that we don't treat people like criminals until you have a reasonable suspicion at a minimum.

You don't get to load spyware on everyone's computer because someone, somewhere, committed a crime on a computer. You don't get to remove all end to end cryptography so you can snoop. No, just no. Our society is flirting with these ideas, and they are BAD ideas.

On balance, the abuse happening in homeschooling household is microscopic compared to the abuse happening in current public schools. Both the every day kind and the dramatic makes the news murders and suicides. Put them on even scales rather than putting the specs of dust on the other side under a microscope.
If only someone had planned ahead and added some redundancy to the lines running out or Euston to Manchester.

Slightly off topic: I like that the SQLite database file is called “fossil”, because fossil is both relevant to mastodons and is the name of the source code management system for SQLite. That’s a fun intersection there.
> the only question being whether it's at the DB level or at the application level.

It is not a binary situation like that. With the rise of 'n-tier' systems that are ever so popular today, there are often multiple DB levels. The question is not so much if it should go into the end user application – pretty much everyone will say definitely not there – but at which DB level it should it go in. That is less clear, and where you will get mixed responses.
Does Rust still require you to rely on external dependencies (or roll out your own async runtime) to run async code?
other tools prefering to use CONTAINER_HOST instead of docker contexts happens without podman too, because docker didn't build contexts into their go client library and it's instead all in the docker CLI.

Yes it has the right to defend its people. But it must act civilised, not ignoring Geneva Conventions blocking water, food, medicines for 2.3 mil civilians and flattening Gaza.

Is the economics such that a country could:

- allow a nuclear power plant to be built

- build/operate it using domestic labor

- export the energy at a profit to its neighbors?

I wouldn't say they are good at all, in fact this one included, they're often quite bad, but they are also quite predictable. They're the result of inadvisable actions taken on usually against some combination of understood law, common sense, or pro-social practices resulting in a set of consequences, the severity of which runs the gamut, that most people upon thinking about it could've outlined for you ahead of time. Hence the saying: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

One could argue you couldn't even really get rid of them entirely if you wanted. No matter how understanding and accommodating you make a given system, it would doubtlessly remain possible to act so entirely devoid of reason that you could inflict upon yourself consequences that most people would say are not fit to your offenses, but nevertheless happen because of the aforementioned acts.

For example, if you were to under-pay your taxes by $20 and simply refused any and all compliance with the resulting process, the IRS will eventually go about spending several thousand dollars of various employee's and legal resources to collect that $20 plus any and all interest, fees, etc. that resulted. Most people would be correct I feel to say that expending all those resources and all that time and such to collect a measly $20 is stupid, especially if the balance ended up being many hundreds if not thousands of dollars by the time the fines and interest were tabulated. But this is a classic play-stupid-games situation: you refused to pay the $20 for whatever odd reason, and the system in turn acts how it would for anyone else refusing to pay taxes because building a special system for weirdos who only underpay by $20 would also be a really huge waste of time and resources.
And, as I point out, either way, I do not believe that the criterion for antitrust is met, rationally or per se illegal.
Ok, that's fair. But what should Apple do in response? If they did not break it the first time, Beeper would be making $2-3/month off of their services.

It would have also shown that Apple's platform isn't as secure as they position themselves to be if someone other than them can utilize their services without their permission.

There was no winning move here for Apple except to close access off to secure their closed protocol. It was just inevitable at that point.

Pumped hydro storage is approximately cost competitive with new nuclear. It depends on ease of incentives, building permits and finance mechanisms available for building new hydro vs nuclear. Estimated LCOE of new hydro in India for example is Rs9/kwh(~$100/Mwh) which is comparable to new nuclear estimates of $55-90/Mwh. China is also building pumped hydro at good pace. And pumped hydro doesn't have to fight entrenched anti-nuclear lobby while doing it.

US and EU storage incentives encourage battery storage schemes over pumped hydro though. They either expect cost of battery storage to become less than pumped hydro shortly, or the lack of construction firms lobbying for pumped hydro is making battery the prominent storage option.

Oh we are in total agreement in the outcome. But misidentifying the problem as a pursuit of profit might lead to a reform that doesn’t really fix our system. The issue is a lot of vested interests getting a cut of healthcare money, and without reforms to streamline that, we aren’t going to make progress in coming up with something better.
This was about controlling proliferation, increasing yield, and preventing inter-product cannibalization.

And I’ll do you one better:

US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, for all his faults (which are numerous), supported the 5-4 majority in a landmark case regarding flag burning.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._Johnson

Imagine if Justice William Brennan, who wrote the majority opinion, said to Scalia rudely and dismissively “you don’t really believe in civil liberties, you’re only an absolutist on free speech”. It could have led to it being illegal today to burn the flag (which I don’t approve of on a personal level) - and presumably many other ways of expressing disapproval with how the US government conducts itself.
I love what he says about window tiling:

> One of these days, Apple will finally and bravely invent active Window Tiling, and it will be revolutionary for users everywhere ...

And the ending summary:

> ... Or, perhaps you’re like me, and you do care about some of the deficiencies, but you care more about privacy, freedom, repair and upgrade, a strong community-based computing movement, and the right to own and control your own computer.

> If any of that sounds like you, then maybe it’s time to make like a tree sitting above Isaac Newton, and finally drop that Apple.
>I'm scared of people mixing up gas and break pedals

This specific problem is just as much a design flaw as it is a PEBCAC issue.

You have two very similar pedals that perform polar opposite functions right next to each other, and they are both operated by the same foot.

I'm surprised this isn't a bigger problem.

Big clap for all the big brains there who failed this guy
In California, battery storage is already far beyond a "drop in the bucket", and we are still in the early stages of large scale deployments.

I see a lot of replies that are using nationwide figures, but there is no reason that the CA model couldn't be applied everywhere... if it were cost effective to do so.

That last part is the important bit. There's no physical obstacle to doing this.

This is also an important problem that might start showing up with energy overabundance.

If we too regularly have these periods of 0 or negative electricity prices, the economics of supporting the infrastructure collapses. Projects go bankrupt and generators get abandoned to fall into disrepair.

I suspect that like modern individuals now struggle with unintended consequences of calorie abundance, civilization will also struggle with unintended consequences of electricity abundance.
This is the better criticism of Wikipedia. But it's really not a criticism of Wikipedia directly - it's more of a indictment on how media creates Zeitgeists and reality conforms to them.
"Use" implies control / coercion, given that this guy doesn't seem to respect authority, that's not going to work. You can't make anyone work for you or "do good".
> RTFA. They tried restricting him, and he used a fire stick and a a phone to commit another major breach while out on bail. Then he told the court that he planned to keep hacking if he was released again.

I did RTFA. I'm saying he could have been denied access to any electronic devices without supervision, which I think would be a better alternative.

Is unlimited user-end filtration and sorting seen as compatible with the spirit of Mastodon? Members of the Mastodon founding generation have sometimes expressed a wish for that founding generation to always remain visible and prominent, even as the user base expands. Part of it is that the founding generation is heavily trans, and they don’t want their identities and voices to be drowned out by wider cis society.
Just for the sake of security, SSO should never be an enterprise only feature, yet almost everybody locks it behind high prices.
It’s completely different. Email is a decentralized network. iMessage is centralized. Email servers, like Mastodon, Usenet (RIP), etc. implicitly agree to federate (usually!) with other servers. All iMessage traffic sent or received has to go through an Apple owned iMessage server and propagate through the iMessage network, so every additional iMessage client has a direct cost to Apple that Apple didn't agree to.

Thank you for keeping systems available and safe. I've been there many times in the past, including having to fly at the last minute to a non-internet-connected data center in NJ to babysit an emergency production bug fix that took the entire holiday to create, install, verify, and monitor.
On what basis? Twitter is a private website. I agree that this sucks but really just don’t use twitter.
Have you considered that you're not special and it's possible to do wrong while also being a victim? You talk about people being "evacuated from their home" and running to bomb shelters. I'm talking about dozens more being killed by bombs and shot dead by soldiers. If you get punched, I will stand by you and feel sorry for you and try to help you and keep you safe. But if your response is to pull out a knive and stab the attacker to death, I will call you a murderer.

It's horrible that Israelis live under constant threat and the 1200 victims of the Hamas attacks on October 7th should be mourned. But it's hard to feel mournful for Israelis when Israel has killed an order of magnitude more in the months since (and even more over the years prior). Even the Americans gave the world more time to sympathize with the victims of 9/11 before engaging in retaliation against the countries it deemed responsible (in lieu of Saudi Arabia).

I'm German. Criticising Israel doesn't make me "look good". It's not something to do in polite conversation in my country and even the political left frequently eschews the topic and insists on passivity because of our country's history. I don't celebrate Hamas as I don't condone the murder of civilians and believe that calling all Israelis "colonizers" or saying that makes them complicit and thus valid military targets is morally bankrupt. But that is the same reason I object to the IDF's disregard for human life and its dishonest claim to be the "most humane military". I don't stand with the pro-Hamas Islamists that celebrated the October 7 attack in the streets of Berlin, I stand with the Jewish Bundists and anti-Zionists that don't want to be used as shields by Israel to justify its military's thirst for blood.

We can simplify this. You really only have two options: you can claim that the pictures of levelled city blocks in Gaza are fake, that the death toll is a complete fabrication (i.e. wrong by multiple orders of magnitude) and that the UN organisations, the international aid organisations, all non-Israeli journalists and Jewish anti-Zionists and Bundists are lying and helping to spread misinformation to make Israel look bad. Or you can claim that the pictures and the numbers are real and the death of all of these humans is justified because you either consider all Palestinians a threat to Jews or think the life of one Jew is worth the death of tens of Palestinians. The first one makes me think you're delusional, the second one makes me think you're a monster. I don't see a third option but maybe you can elaborate.

I am coming from this model:

https://www.jennairappliances.com/appliances/cooktops/induct...

To this model:

https://www.frigidaire.com/en/p/kitchen/ranges/gas-ranges/FC...

Definitely not comparable on cost basis.

All of that said, I can use the same techniques stepping down from a 5kW to a 1.8kW unit. Once you get above ~2500 watts on induction it doesn't feel like it's moving the needle that much. I rarely used the 5kw boost mode. It was actually too powerful in most cases, even stir fry if you weren't moving like a mad man.

Moving from gas or resistive to electromagnetic seems like the actual magic trick.
