Sparkey: A simple constant key/value storage library
i love smalltalk, but i mainly do web development, and i was curious to do frontend development in smalltalk, so amber looked interesting. but i could not see how to do frontend only development. i am not interested in fullstack solutions because they only work for greenfield projects. i mostly build frontends for existing backends with a REST API or similar.

existing smalltalk webframeworks are either backend or fullstack, and made no sense for me to use inside amber.

an amber frontend framework would essentially be a GUI toolkit that uses html/css templates to design the UI, then smalltalk to fill in the logic with fetch calls to exchange data with arbitrary backends.
We come from Germany - where there is unlikely to be a big issue, as citizens have to be quite careful about registering where they live in one place only.

I suspect the data in the UK (where I originate) would be pretty messy. The voting lists there are a free for all, I reckon!
DNS-01 is awkward with multiple TLDs and providers for a site.

For me it’s like;

blog.jharasym.com - namecheap
blog.jharasym.dev - gandi
blog.dijit.sh - self hosted with BIND
That makes sense now, thanks.
You need to choose better sources. Your post seems like a list of common anti EV fake tropes.

Except battery range, charging time during long trip and initial cost (of a new car) EV are already better than ICE.

You don't change battery every 100-150 miles due to 50% capacity loss. You lose maybe ~10% by then.

Unless you are driving in Arctica you don't lose much range in winter (and in ICE you lose range too).

Your ICE car is more likely to spontaneously combust than EV car.
B&H is usually a safe choice. Newegg and Amazon can be too if you're careful with who the seller is. Drives for work often get placed through an enterprise wholesaler like CDW or MARKIT.

For my personal NAS projects, I generally buy a WD MyBook/EasyStore from Best Buy and shuck the drive. The drive on the inside is generally a WD White Label, which is a WD Red (NAS drive) that didn't meet QA specs. I wouldn't rely on them for mission critical stuff, but they're perfect for a Plex server and you can generally get them cheap. (worth noting that I've seen a few say they've been removing the SATA connections from these recently and I haven't bought one in about 15 months so do some research before purchasing)

Since the tail of the line has a known format I guess we are rescued by the fact that the last 0x3B is the semicolon as the rest is just a decimal number. We can’t know the first 0x3B byte is the semicolon since the place names are only guaranteed to not contain 0x3B but can contain 0x013B. So a parser should start from the rear of the line and read the number up to the semicolon and then it can treat the place name as byte soup. Had two places shared line this challenge would have required real utf parsing and been much harder.
Oh man, I just tried and my first shot was:

I tried this with a really big speaker magnet on the family TV as child and found that it persisted after switching it off and on.

My dad (at the time a technician maintaining TV transmitters) finally fixed it by power cycling it a few dozen times.

He told me that if he hadn't known how it works I'd have had the hiding of my life...
Oh, my bad. It's the first time I see it written this way.

No company I have ever worked for has had growth engineering salaries come out of the marketing budget. And there's no such thing as a "maintenance" budget either. It is all simply R&D/engineering. Sure the expectations are very different depending on your team/role, but that's not a budget thing, and depends on how the company tracks its goals.
That's the efficiency of the device, not the laser. This device does not include a laser.

That said, I don't know of any diode lasers that are that bad. Lasers for this fiber are probably 50%+ efficient and even the high frequency laser diodes are still 30%+
I think your laser was 40mW. A 40W laser can engrave steel.
Could a fiber break in the wall ignite the sheath? What if the Sheath broke as well and it is up against the cardboard backing of drywall? Worst case, cellulose insulation?
Thanks to the EU, you need to enable Cookies to let a website remember you want to reject all Tracking/Cookies...

Some adblockers do an okay job of hiding those requests, but others do not.

It seems like modern web users need a browser that blocks trackers, an Authoritative DNS like Pi-Hole on the network that blocks trackers, an Authoritative DNS for Pi-Hole to query like NextDNS that blocks trackers, and, of course, a browser plug-in to augment the browsers tracker blocking ability like uBlock.
An online campaign since 2018 doesn't refute me, the name change didn't gain traction until 2022. Before the intensification of the war in 2022, most of the English speaking world wasn't paying much attention to Ukraine.
This has been my experience as well.

It doesn't matter how many presentations and case studies and financial models you build, whether you're a cost center or not is basically entirely determined by what a few people in the c-suite believe. This became blatantly clear over the past year or so of layoffs, when the same people who nodded and thanked teams for showing them how they generate revenue for the business immediately turned around and put them on the chopping block.
I thought they made hard drives, too, then I realized that was Maxtor, not Plextor.
I don't believe this is illegal in Sweden, not in spirit anyway. Our unions notwithstanding, you are implied to be "loyal" your employer whatever that means. I assume this would not be very loyal.

Now firing people generally requires written warnings and so on, so in that way it would maybe not have been legal.
Just know that False Impersonation under California Penal Code Section 529 PC can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. Misdemeanor conviction carries a sentence of up to a year in jail and substantial court fines. A felony charge conviction carries a maximum sentence of three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Late reply, but I believe these were the 4200rpm version - they had to be the "thin" drives to fit into my weird hot-swap bays vs. the "thick" drives you would typically see in datacenter use. Basically this limited you to laptop drives.

I recall these having pretty similar performance to quality USB drives at the time - just more consistently. They maxed out somewhere around 6-8MB/sec for large writes and 25-30MB/sec for sustained reads.

This was at a time when consumer 7200rpm SATA models were hitting probably close to 120MB/sec sustained reads. Time flies and my memory isn't what it's used to be - but I'm fairly sure those numbers are ballpark accurate. I still have a half dozen of these laying around the house somewhere I should track down one day.
> You are correct - only third-party, cross domain cookies. WSJ and other writers simplify to "cookies" because it's a simpler headline and only a small percentage of people understand the difference (even tech workers!).

The "third-party" qualifier of the word "cookie" here is essential to what is happening, not incidental. It's like someone discovered a drug that kills all cancer cells, and then WSJ reports you discovered a drug that kills all cells. Third-party cookies are "frowned upon", normal cookies are essential for the web to function.

This headline is just plain and simple wrong, it would not be acceptable to make false headlines about economics, politics, climate or anything else, so it's also not okay for them to use false headlines about tech.

The article should be removed from HN.
your login function receives a username and a password from the form, checks them with a network call, and then sends an "user logged" event by calling a function of a third party library like Google Analytics or Sentry. Now it would be quite dangerous if the code in that function could access the parameters of the original caller which include sensitive data. This gets worse as you consider the entire supply chain of dependencies.
THIS.

And in that use case...~1.5W of laser energy would probably be way, way down the list of hazards.

I think we should be pricing in the time wasted on going to mechanics for routine and other maintenance. My last ICE would spend a couple of days a year in the shop (besides routine maintenance, there were some recall events, which then lead to engine malfunction which I learned were a known problem on this model, etc. etc.). And then each time you need a rental to substitute, which is a huge chore, and not to mention taking vacation days to handle it. Just got an EV last month and look forward to none of this.
The main problem I see is that modern architecture robs cities and countries of their character.

Yet another soulless amalgamation of concrete and glass (that invariably wins prestigious awards and is praised for its uniqueness or something) can be plopped anywhere, Dubai, Stockholm, New York, or Cape Town, and it wouldn't make a shred of difference.
Yesterday close to where I live there was a big queue that still isn't resolved in a winter storm (over 1000 cars got stuck). With a gas car, you can physically go and get gas and fill it up manually but an EV would run out of battery, die and would need to be towed.

Maybe you live in a place where winter storms are not a reality but where I live the range isn't the problem it's the weather combined with the range. EVs range go down during winter and it's already worse, the risk of getting stuck in a snowstorm is thus higher.

But yes, during summer and perfect road conditions an EV would be great. That is not the reality of my life though and that is just speaking about the range issues. I live on the country side as well and I need a car that can handle roads that are not in perfect condition. EVs are also generally sedans and wouldn't even fit my family while being a lot more expensive, adding the risk of freezing to death in the car is just making it a no-go for now.
But could one not argue that you would never break even on an ICE vehicle?

Though am not familiar with how much less pollution is generated by creating an ICE vehicle.
Good job. And people say U.S. authorities are inept and incompetent.
Because it wouldn't save a meaningful amount of money over the life of the car, but it would make developing and manufacturing them significantly more expensive.

Thanks I've wanted something like this for a long time.

No idea why all of them are subscriptions or have tons of ads and such.
Thanks! That’s helpful data and rules of thumb. We were moving comfortably with left lane traffic in the Northeast. Speeds varied by state but were still well within the ranges you calculated above.
This is definitely not a most common transceiver, which is the point of all the commentary.

I'd refuse to buy this thing unless there was some national security reason for doing so, and then there would have to be interlocks on the room to de-energize it when anyone entered.
I think this example is way more common than the situation your parent commenter described. Most corporations don’t seem to be identifiably strategic about layoffs. They don’t make a coherent plan until the shit hits the fan and the board dictates that a certain percentage must go.

I’ve been laid off three times and not once was my layoff a result of a coherent strategy or reflective of my utility/value to the team.

The first time, I was an accounting mistake. The company quite literally hired me and numerous other contractors by accident. The bean counters in corporate simply weren’t talking to each other and hiring managers somehow got their reqs through.

The second time, I along with my new hire cohort was laid off a month after my start date. I’m not even sure how a company is so disorganized that they can go from approving new hires to laying off those same new hires within a time period that couldn’t have been longer than 3 months.

The third time was similar except that it took place in a slightly longer timespan, still less than a year. Company management handled growth immaturely and irresponsibly, choosing to bulk hire then lay off the cohort rather than growing more conservatively. Paying 5 employees for almost a year could have paid for one employee for over 3 years, no layoff necessary.
I love it haha
If I may, you mention one of your duties is to help people find your content. In that spirit, I'd choose a better filename as PDFs generate no preview from meta tags and the link alone is not explanatory when shared.
It makes my job at writer much easier. If I don't want to think about prose I can copy chat gpt and get 80% of the way there with very little effort. Most stuff I write is for my coworkers or Hacker News so I don't mind. When I write for fun or for my family I like to be more thoughtful.

The amount of intentional "bad" reports is disturbing. They repeatedly bring back the same talking heads who have repeatedly been proved to be wrong to continue to tell obvious lies. The press might read a paper and very intentionally make stuff up that the paper nor the authors talk about at all.

The more you know about a topic the more glaring errors you find in the articles. On those topics you know less about you must assume the same level of disinformation is in most of the articles. So much of news ought to be in the fiction section.
To simplify, you always always always want to be working in bullet point 2, if at all possible.

In the other two, you are a cost to be minimized or eliminated. Only if you are working on one of the companies core products are you an asset bringing revenue into the company.

Plus probably some certification+warranty that covers the asses of whoever chose that part in case things go bad.
Yes, pulling a trailer cuts heavily into range. Most people don't do that, but most that do should stick to gas or diesel.
I didn't mention cost for that reason. It's just silly to put so much into assets and then not even put basic protections on them being accessed by others instead.
As an EV owner, range doesn’t matter to me beyond ~200 miles real world or so. It’s the 10-70% charge speed that matters the most. And advances are being made there- see KIA/Hyundai.
Yeah architecture in this country is real bottom of the barrel stuff, bar a few specific buildings (the new UTS and Central Park buildings in Sydney come to mind).

Our residential house design is even worse, they’re uniformay the most bland, cookie-cutter-McMansion-trash that’s built in a way that’s almost actively hostile to its environmental conditions.
The endless focus on hobbies involving ICE misses the forest for the trees and has pitted tons of large hobby communities against environmentalists for decades because many environmentalists would much rather pick a fight with car guys than with the inter-global corporations and the defense forces that actually make up most of the worldwide emissions pool.

International shipping is single-handedly the greatest contributor by a small margin, tons of which just does not need to happen, full stop. We send products around the entire world because it costs pennies less to package pineapple in one country than another, and most of it goes in the fucking garbage anyway. And the products that do require shipping could be done in a much, much more efficient manner to save tons and tons of ship traffic per year. The other major contributor is industry, which could be trimmed significantly if we put serious work into ending the production of stupid, useless, shitty items that no one actually wants (knockoff electronics, basically anything drop-shipped, single use fucking lithium phone chargers).

And all that's not even going into shit like the FIELDS of e-bikes and e-scooters being stacked in China because there's just nowhere to go with that.

Military dick-wagging especially but not solely by the United States accounts for absolute shit-tons of CO2 going into the atmosphere, too, absolutely none of which needs to happen. Military vehicles, construction vehicles, LTL trucks, service vehicles like garbage trucks: this is where we can make big dents in climate change. Not by taking away Jerry's Corvette that does, at best, 10k miles if he has a good year where he gets in a lot of track time. As far as I'm concerned this is just the "check your carbon footprint" garbage with extra steps: blaming consumers for the state of the environment while completely letting off the dozens of multi-national corporations actually holding the power and making the decisions that are collapsing the biosphere.
Installing a suspension point on an existing beam to hang a bamboo in is very simple and can be done anywhere but the smallest of spaces.
There are only ~400 place names in the generated data. 160,000 = 400*400

The state machine generation would need to know all 400 - but it's easy enough to scan the first few hundred thousand rows to find them all, and have a fallback incase a name is seen that has never been seen before. (the fallback would be done by having the state machine jump to an 'invalid' state, and then at the end you check that that invalid state's counter is zero, and if it isn't, you redo everything with slow code).
Beyond all the safety stuff, it's also because that car often saves a huge amount of time compared to walking/biking - especially when there are multiple stops involved in an outing.

And that car can haul groceries, etc. much better than a bike or hands can. I have a grocery store well within walking distance of me (on safe-ish sidewalks even), but I only walk when I only have a few things to pick up because otherwise I'm trying to haul 50lb of fragile and bulky stuff back half a mile to my house by hand (I also tend to go there mostly while I'm already out doing other things, so the marginal additional mileage is nearly zero). Yes, I could take the approach of going to the grocery store every day, but I flat out don't have the time for that (or the weather for that!). Or I could take the approach of buying a much nicer bike with more hauling capacity, but I already have a car (and do enough with it that there's no reasonable way to go without one) so I'm not going to spend $2k on a bike that would only reduce my mileage by 100 miles a year. Heck...just the savings from fixing things DIY covers the cost of my car in a typical year (I have an old house!), not to mention the car rental fees I'd incur for trips pretty much anywhere outside of a 5-10 mile radius.

But to your point, this is also highly situational. If I were in an apartment in NYC, that's a completely different situation than being in a house in a small-size city (honestly, my city in the US even has public transport that nearly rivals comparable cities in Europe...but they key there is comparing to comparable cities in Europe...where everyone still has cars because to go anywhere outside of a small radius, they need a car).
That is something that should be done deliberately as part of the normal product development process, not forced by an arbitrary date that someone set 10 years ago.
I have no doubt people will forget in time (<5 years).

But anyone looking for a job ought to do due dilligence when things pick up again and at least set the correct expectations about how long their relationship with the company could last if the market turns bad again.
