Almost inevitably, people building "mesh" networks do try to run IP over them, because the most common and popular applications and services are all TCP/IP based.

DIY things capable of a few hundred kbps and text only are a very niche application. "Mesh" at very low data rates and duty cycles has very good purposes when purchased in a fully packaged single purpose industrial/embedded system from a vendor with support, such as how electrical grid operators implement some forms of smart meters.

Had the same issue, thankfully a piece of black duct tape was heavy enough to fix the issue. Really annoying to have a device which is essentially unusable out of the box.

> Apple is really good about not using bright LEDs in their product, or really any LED indicators (there might still be one in the magsafe).

They do have an indicator led on the magsafe plug, which is either amber or green, and is pretty bright but easy to unplug.

The old MBPs also used to have a white but pretty dimmed led "breathing" during sleep, it was quite pretty unless you wanted to sleep then it was annoying. If easy enough to put a thing in front.

I also have a ugreen mini dock with a white led, no idea why. It's a passive dock, if it's plugged in it's on, I don't need to have a reminder.

A lot of users don't seem to recognize racism or sexism when it is not directed at them. This leads them to think it is not a problem.

If you point out something specific, some users will double down on their view that nothing is wrong. They start arguing as if they know nothing, and demand that every detail must be elaborated to them on a silver platter.

Oh, and the demands for stats.

Nevermind that the social sciences are in their infancy, and largely incapable of measuring the effects of things such as racism and sexism.

Science itself is the equivalent of a toddler - it is systematic (step by step), not systemic (whole picture). Reality is made of interconnected systems, and both perspectives are required to understand reality.

Speculation: Perhaps they are trying to distinguish themselves from the "cheaper" products by using the "new" blue LEDs? IIRC the technology for them was figured out much later than green or red, so maybe there is a bit of leftover "futuristic" feel to them.

The last time I saw a blue room-illuminator was on an ancient Belkin Bluetooth dongle. IMO the practice has gone out of style with most name brands (including Apple).

> As I said, almost every map in that post shows roughly the same thing.

I do not know how maps from 1922, 1947,1949, 1967 and 2008 with completely different borders are showing “roughly the same thing” for you. (https://www.quora.com/What-borders-does-Israel-show-in-maps-...)

If you refer only to the maps for 2nd and 3rd grades I can assure you that many things in 2nd and 3rd grade appear as “roughly the same thing” and it’s only with further education you begin to notice certain nuances. At this point I believe I should strongly recommend to use maps for more grown up children to make your point.

>You're making a big deal about the PLO logo…

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fe/Plo_emblem.pn...) The official PLO logo clearly suggests no Israel existence.

You’ve brought map to make your point (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38755727) and now you are suddenly dismissal about the map on official PLO logo and then you’ve tried to portrait me as making “a big deal” about it. Another trick to register and unfortunately such tricks and manipulative efforts are common trends in every supporter of “from the river to the sea” chant that I’ve seen. I wander what purpose they are trying to achieve by misleading others and what they are trying to hide under the “nice” words.

You were also completely dismissive about extreme and dangerous nature of the phrase “from the river to the sea” for both sides. You also completely skipped the fact of Israel withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 even after I have pointed to those two main points.

I am making a big deal of you making misleading comments and using manipulative techniques to distort the reality and hide the truth to push certain agenda without thinking through the consequences of your actions (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38589935) and your conscious or unconscious contribution to spreading propaganda beneficial to Hamas which leads to the loss of life on both sides. This is a moral blindness at best and intentional malevolent effort at worst.

> There was actually a dispute … It's standard in Israel …

Sources and facts are required to support such claims. After your manipulative approach with maps it’s difficult to trust the ‘stories’ you spread.

>The PLO recognizes the state of Israel.

Their logo doesn’t reflect it. Documents and factually proven
persistent behaviour that is in accordance with such claim are required.

Yes, but this is not what this article is about, which is to avoid the loss of efficiency by converting low-voltage DC solar power to AC through an inverter, only to convert it back to low-voltage DC again for most devices. If we are talking high-voltage DC, you'd just replace the old DC-AC conversion with low/high-voltage DC-DC conversion, which I don't think is much more efficient. Also, I wouldn't want to live in a house which runs on high-voltage DC, purely because I don't want to instantly die if I accidentally touch a life wire.
> I'm a beginner dev and I find it very odd both that vscode tries to limit my commit messages to 50 or 55 characters, and also that python linters want to make my lines of code so small. What's the reason behind this? Old small monitors of the past?

On my laptop with a 13.3" 1080p display I can fit two side-by-side terminals at 87 characters wide (two of these are used up by vim to display git symbols and linter markers, I don't use a number line).

This is not because I can't afford a laptop with a bigger screen, but rather that I value portability, lightness and thinness over screen size. That being said, on larger desktop monitors I also value easy readability meaning that the font size is usually so large that I don't get much more than 90 characters per column.

This means I can have a man-page or other form of documentation as well as an interpreter window on the right side of my screen (in two stacked windows) and the code on the left side of my screen.

I really don't even quite understand how people handle the defaults of VSCode with its enormous directory tree column and the minimap. about 40% of horizontal screen space is wasted in the default VSCode configuration. I mean, to some extent, multi-monitor setups help solve this, but again, I value portability and while I do have a multi-monitor setup, I don't want to be reliant on it to be able to comfortably get work done.

So, at least for me, there's an enormous amount of value in keeping things to 80 characters in width. This doesn't mean I never go over that limit, it just means that most of my code is comfortably readable both when using a small laptop and when using a larger desktop setup.

The other main reason is making it easier to read. It's not that helpful or easy to keep track of a line which is 120 characters long. Not least of all because in my setup it would either end up off-screen or badly hard-wrapped. There's a reason newspapers still use columns and it's so it's easier to keep track of where you are in a paragraph. Now in code, it's not usually 10 120 character lines one after another, but usually it's still harder to make sense of what you're looking at when it's one really long line.
In my more lugubrious moments I prefer Samuel Beckett's "Fail again, fail better".

>If a judge could just decide whether a law was good or not solely based on their beliefs and judgments, you are basically having a philosopher king who rules solely based on his wisdom.

Unless you're arguing the Supreme Court is made up of necromancers, that's exactly what they do. If they had some objective understanding of what consensus the founding fathers or the people would have reached about any issues of the time, much less the thorny and complex issues of today, there would never be a split decision, nor disagreements between them based on their individual interpretations, nor reversals.

Not that their beliefs and judgements exist entirely in a vacuum, but the results are called opinions for a reason. Educated opinions are still just that.

And I'm not even going to mention that the Supreme Court's power of judicial review, itself, isn't even Constitutional, thus not a power the people who drafted or ratified the Constitution agreed that it should have, at least not the point of actually putting it in writing in the only document where it mattered. They just decided they had that power, solely based on their wisdom.

We're living yet another revolution against our place in the universe. Copernic showed that it was the earth that revolved around the sun and not the other way around. Darwin showed that humans were just one animal species among many, not very different from others.

Since then, we have clung to the idea that we had a special kind of intelligence, unique and possibly supernatural.

Yet today, even the smallest LLM running on a smartphone passes the Turing test with flying colors.

AI, and AGI that may be around the corner, show that silicon can "think". Many people don't like that idea; I suspect the call for regulations is in part fueled by the ego bruise that AI represents.

If that would be the case there wouldn't be the flurry of JS frameworks which try to "fix" the DOM. The DOM was originally created to render static text-heavy documents, baking such a limited document-layout system into browsers was a mistake in hindsight. These days, the DOM should be "just another" on-demand loaded Javascript UI framework sitting on top of a handful lower level rendering APIs.
Also, I'm concerned that readers would judge my whole existence and the entire library of my life choices if any part of my (theoretical) comment fails to be... well, perfect.

> It's worth remembering that the "modern", i.e. 1930s, three-phase power grid is built primarily to power motors on factory floors.

Small nitpick, I don't believe 3 phase power was picked primarily because it was convenient for powering 3 phase motors - it was picked because it's convenient for generating and transmission. There is no need for a neutral conductor in a balanced AC transmission system for example and it can very efficiently be converted to high voltage and stepped down again. It also results in modest power pulses though the generator compared to single phase etc.

What project are you using this for in prod?
Let me clarify: React team could choose any syntax of JSX, or even have no syntax and use nested data structures. They've chosen HTML-like syntax for developer convenience. My first experience with React was through ClojureScript and Om (back in 2014), and I can tell you that constantly translating back and forth between 2 vastly different syntaxes hurts.
The risk of large buildings defeated by a quake obviously isn't zero, so if there is somehow dozen football fields worth of solid and flat land(in Japan!?) next to where you would be, it makes sense to run out to there and see if the building holds.

Glass windows could break and sound deadening parts or small concrete pieces on the ceiling could fall during one, getting hit by those can be fatally uncomfortable, but they're not machine gun bullets and just ordinary tables should be able to stop a lot of them.

There's a tragedy of the commons here, where the majority is going to the comments first without reading the article, expecting the other commenters to inform them about the article. Given this common practice, what makes you think you can get right to the actual information by looking at the comments? They're often less reliable than the articles themselves.

Because a good number of customer service calls come from people who have a device plugged into a dead outlet. The led at least tells you the device is getting power. It can also indicate whether any internal fuses/breakers have tripped. And many manufacturers blink that one led for error codes and such. They have a purpose, and can generally be blocked by any bit of cheap tape.

> Heating elements can run on DC more or less unmodified.

..but to get the same power (heat) output you need more current in a low voltage DC system. And power loss in the supply cables scales with the square of current, so you'll need thick (expensive) wiring in the wall or you'll risk the walls becoming an equally effective heating element.

Electric motors that run on DC are either brushed or have extra driver/conversion circuitry to pulse their coils in the right order. Both of these are not perfectly efficient.

Thank you for the advice which is no doubt well-intentioned.

But don't kid yourself. If you use your spare time for research and development to solve problems at work, then it is not really a hobby, it is just you working overtime for free. If that makes you happy, good for you, but it doesn't change the fact that time and resources are limited. The time is just cheaper in your case.
The older I grow, the more I see many good intentions at the micro scale hurting the big picture.
That's because neither AM4 nor AM5 include provisions for a NIC (MAC) on the SoC. Afaik the chipsets don't, either. Intel chipsets generally have a gigabit MAC, but this is rarely used (apparently it specifically requires an Intel PHY and that's more expensive than a complete NIC from say Realtek).

Only the Embedded chips have MACs built in.

Ideally, you would never access deep props like that. First it's easy to make a mistake, and secondly each of those keys can fail if the dict doesn't contain that prop. You probably want to de-structure it first, depending on the language, or use a path getter that has a fallback value (or even better, use strictly defined object types). Long lines are usually a code smell and harder to visually parse and understand. I don't adhere to 80 chars, but somewhere around 100-120 is comfortable.

Do "someone"s HAVE property in China?
In a way, yes. It stays out of the way - in fact, there is no desktop. i3 is a tiling window manager, and rather minimalistic at that. Sway is a wayland-native reimplementation of i3, with the same (lack of) appearance, and i3 configs work with sway pretty much out of the box.

To launch a program you either hit a hotkey combo of your choice or use <win>-d to bring up a top-of-screen text menu bar with full text search to find (and launch) your desired software.

Actually I think "agree to disagree" was exactly right.

It doesn't mean we accept each others opinion as different yet valid, we still call each other wrong, but the point is it ends there with recognizing and accepting an impasse rather than progressing to pistolas at dawn, right?

Except wait, my whole problem was never that someone was ok with the deal (pay for a product or service that doesn't serve you), it was only with trying to say that everyone else also has to be ok with it.

Except wait again, that might have been your original point too. Not to put words in your mouth but would it be fair to say that you originally had no problem with someone declining to use some software, but only with telling someone else they should do the same?
