Velcro, The Internet... Silly US government projects sometimes have down stream impact.

Even in defense, the government funding science is how we got here. Look at early computing (UINVAC, to CRAY) the history and the people have all sorts of ties to early crypto research and the navy!

Later private industry gets in on the act. UNIX is a byproduct of AT&T, the monopoly version. The stuff that came out of bell labs that got tossed into the public because of a settlement is amazing.
You dont have to look at the laser at all, scattered beam can be dangerous as well.
Note: class 4 lasers have no upper bound, they are just hazardous.
As a note, my kids go to a state school here in Scotland, and school starts at 8:50.

As we both work, we pay for a school club that will look after the kids from 7:40, and after school until 18:00. Although thankfully our work is flexible enough that we generally only have them in there from 8:30-17:00.
There is a huge gulf for exploration between your [1] and [2]! I dare say good contemporary architects have and will be doing just that.
Of course he is right. It's similar story to the early scientists whom all were independently wealthy. And your claim about 'thousands and thousands of successful authors' is just ridiculous when an average person doesn't even read a thousand books in his lifetime let alone considers most of the authors of these books 'successful'.
> Range anxiety is a short term condition, you get over it after surprisingly quickly.

My partner has had a series of EVs for 10 years now.

Just a few weeks ago dropped me off at the airport (~100 mile roundtrip) and started planning for it days it advance. How much needed to driver on day N-2, N-1, how much charge would be left. Then spent the morning of the trip sipping coffee at Whole Foods to bring the charge up to %100 (normally limited to %80). Then spent the whole trip hyperfocused on the mileage remaining, worried about getting home.

While the trip is quite a bit shorter than the advertised range, with hilly terrain it's always uncertain what the real world mileage ends up being.

It all seemed very exhausting. So I guess it takes more than a decade to get over range anxiety.
What do you prefer instead? And why?
Ensuring every sequence is uniquely identified.

Although they still want to avoid those, non-cryptographic hash functions often care a lot less about collision resistance, which is a problem when fingerprinting, which is the use case here.

The alternative to a CHF in this case is not a non-cryptographic hash function, it's a dedicated fingerprinting scheme (like Rabin fingerprints). But a CHF is a perfectly good fingerprinting function if you don't have more specialised needs (like rolling hashes).
Colin Quinn Explains Why Society Needs to Teach Small Talk [video]
Agreed. I've driven an EV for over 4 years and range anxiety vanished after the first few months. I live in a city with good charging options, but often have to take longer road trips to see aging parents who live in a very rural area with zero fast chargers for miles around. Yes, I need to do a top-up charge on the way down because I know I can't charge when I get there, but I'd likely have to do that in an ICE car because there are no petrol stations near them either!

I pay about 15% of what I would have previously paid for diesel, and the only maintenance I've had to do was a new tyre after running over a nail.
Not just that, if you get an e-ink reader that runs a modern version of Android, you can also edit documents, write emails, etc on a paper-like display. Far better than using a traditional tablet or phone for text communication. If there were a display compatible with PC inputs that I could put on my desk instead of a second monitor, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I agree, it looks like hostile nations such as Iran are replaying their Hamas/Palestine strategy to goad another nation into a local conflict. As a non-american I'd prefer if the US sat this one out.
This happened just last year IIRC in Korea. Nothing was in serious danger (except maybe some travel schedules). A comment already described the mechanism and why that’s not really a thing to worry about.
I work on some software in a regulated space. We have to make changes monthly as regulations change.
Love motivated me to replace C.
https://wiphone.io/ is Arduino compatible and comes with an audio jack and microphone. It's also completely enclosed, knows how to charge it's own battery, etc. Phone form factor, ESP32 processor.

The back of the phone can be replaced with a custom PCB or breadboard holding your custom hardware. Pogo pins make a connection to the motherboard. The idea is you could carry whatever you end up making around in your pocket just like a phone once you're done, assuming you only put components on the inside of the back cover.

Disclosure: I designed and manufacture it.

> Absolutely. But that doesn't mean we should push everybody to ride electric bikes just because those riding in remote places are few and far between.

The situation you described is purely recreative. Others might argue that the climate is much more important than the personal hobby of a few motorcyclists and would warrant banning ICE vehicles altogether.

One can change recreational activities easily.

> I'd really love to see the proof that building and buying a new one, to replace the one that is in perfect working condition, is actually better for the environment.

I am with you on that one and I believe that if all this wasn't an hypocritical way to save the automotive industry, the governments would push and force car brands to develop and sell homologated EV conversion kits for all cars builds in the last 30 years.
> Ironically, with the way production scales, if more people were willing/able to go for the high quality products, they'd probably wind up being somewhat cheaper than they are now.

Absolutely.
To prevent lots of HN'rs finding where that leads: it's Teheran, Iran.
War didn’t stop, but even counting all of these, violent deaths on the planet are way, way down.

We don’t wage wars anywhere near the scale that we used to, and that’s a good thing.

The money is a different matter, of course.

But Iran also likes the Houthis being a credible threat to Saudi Arabia and the UAE even more.

Continuing to poke international commercial shipping will obviously trigger a response. No one powerful, even China, wants non-military ships being attacked.

So they're risking substantial damage to Houthi power for... what?

Tying up naval capacity? Eh. Temporarily. And with minimal effect on Israel/Palestine.*

Boosting the price of oil? Maybe. But doesn't seem to be doing much yet.

At Russia's behest? Maybe. General chaos elsewhere and tying up ISR assets benefits Russia.

* Would become much more relevant if Hezbollah enters the war.
I was working i a company (EMC testing) which decided to build their own "Power over Fiber" solar cells, also in the 500 or 600mW power range. Yes, you can buy such stuff now from boradcom but these are simply too expensive.
A tool that:

- in 15 years is still slow by default

- in 15 years could not acquire any sensible defaults that shouldn't need extra work to configure

- is written in an esoteric language with next to zero tools to debug and introspect

- randomly changes and moves thing around every couple of years for no discernible reason and making zero impact on reducing its slowness

- has no configuration specification to speak of because the config is written in that same esoteric programming language

And its zealots blame its failures on its users
> you're basically saying "it's better for Yemeni kids and women to get killed [my reading of collateral damage] than for the West to lose face

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that these things (israel, vs merchant shipping) basically cannot be allowed to be linked, because they aren't. It's simply blackmail. If the merchant shipping is seen as isolated, then it's clear it can't be tolerated. We can't tolerate the attacks, and we can't tolerate disruptions such as caused by massive detours.

> Hasn't the West learned anything from Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, like, literally, anything?

Iraq and Afghanistan were invasions with the attempted (and nearly impossible) goal of regime change. That's not at all what I'm suggesting should happen. This is about removing the ability to engage in piracy/attacks on merchant ships.

> it's better for Yemeni kids and women to get killed [my reading of collateral damage] than for the West to lose face

No, it's even more crass than that! we are discussing accepting the loss of civilian life just to maintain shipping insurance prices! And what I'm saying is "yes that's terrible, but less bad than the alternative".

The merchant ships are also civilian! The current attacks are deliberate attacks on civilians. We are talking about attacks on military (or paramilitary) targets, in order to stop attacks on civilians! Yet you are arguing that those would be the attacks that put civilian lives at risk?
Are you fertilizing? I have one in a pot that yields probably 200 berries per year. The issue is the thorns. I bought a couple thornless varieties last year. Hopefully will get some fruit this year from those.
I agree (in the US). I much prefer home cooked meals over eating out. Occasionally, though, the convenience of not cooking is worth the tradeoff.
I'm not familiar with DNP, I'd have to look into it more. I have read a lot of the research on metformin, because that is also suspected to act like a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor in some circumstances. (Although it seems to act different ways in different situations, so no one really knows what's going on there yet.) But regardless, Peter Attia considered metformin to be a longevity drug (at least before he decided it might be hurting his muscle growth), so there may be a lot of precedent for using mitochondrial complex I inhibitors for health benefits, assuming metformin actually has that mechanism of action.
Exactly. Both sides will have copies of all pertinent evidence, and if their copies conflict in any material way, it will be noticed and investigated and the party that manipulated their copy is going to have a very bad time.

The examples given in the article rely on an attacker manipulating an image prior to it being hashed, or compromising their opponent's database. If you can (and are willing to) do these things, no hashing algorithm will help. They also assume that the hash is literally the only thing anyone will rely on in identifying a document, which is not how it will work in practice. (No witness has ever said "yes there was a letter, I don't remember what it looked like or what it said but I remember its MD5 hash was [...]".)
This feels exactly like back in the early 2000s when I used to physically rip the windows key off my keyboard because I’d accidentally hit it when playing a game and it’d mess everything up.
Hamas has called for a ceasefire numerous times, and in fact there was a temporary ceasefire. To forestall the next question, as to who broke the truce, I've not seen evidence either way, only claims. Regardless, this does kinda invalidate your claim.

One person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. In this case, nearly the whole of the UN has voted for a ceasefire, so interests align, which should be a better solution yes?
I'm surprised by this:

> The "use strict" directive can only be applied to the body of functions with simple parameters. Using "use strict" in functions with rest, default, or destructured parameters is a syntax error.

function sum(a = 1, b = 2) {
// SyntaxError: "use strict" not allowed in function with default parameter
"use strict";
return a + b;
}

Not that I would see myself doing this, I would put strict mode in a function containing all the code of the file that does not take any argument (or maybe dependencies), but why would "use strict"; be forbidden here?
Unless it can be used as a more or less generic modifier key, I don't really see the point of a key dedicated to this one function. The placement on the keyboard in the photo would suggest that either the space bar is shrunk down or one of the keys to its right is removed to accommodate the new key. That doesn't seem optimal to me. Maybe the dedicated context menu key can be removed, which is equally useless as it replaces just a single mouse click (and feels less predictable than that click, as it's not as obvious where the menu will appear).

Ignoring the marketeer drivel of how "excited" they are and how a single key on a keyboard would make AI any more useful, I have to wonder how many people would actually use it. People who see AI as a threat or distrust it (or just don't think it has a place in an OS) will likely ignore it, disable it, or be annoyed by it. People who are enthusiastic about it would probably be just as likely to simply put it in a prominent spot on the task bar for easy access.

Feels like, just because ChatGPT and Dall-E etc are the "hot (semi-)new thing", this is just an effort to jump on to that bandwagon. I wouldn't be surprised if Copilot (at least insofar as it is integrated in Windows) will meet the same fate as Cortana.

As a practical question (I've not got Win11 and haven't experienced Copilot on there): what does it [i.e. Copilot] actually bring to the Windows desktop experience? Does it make anything more efficient, easier or more discoverable? I can't for the life of me think of a reason I'd need an AI to do any of the stuff I use my desktop OS for. At least the Bing chatbot (while creepy) in Skype makes some sense for the interface, but that doesn't seem to have its tendrils deep into the OS.
I suppose this could be the first "niche" in history where business demand did not drive up supply. But I wouldn't bet on it.
Slightly off topic, as we don't do this for guests, but one thing I do for cheaper takeout (which we have extremely rarely anyway) is order curry but cook rice at home. Although these days ready meals from some supermarkets (I'm in the UK) are pretty great, and you can get a half-decent curry for £3 or so, and again just cook your own rice.
> Notably Hama's isn't calling for a ceasefire, and it takes two to tango, so even if Israel wanted a ceasefire there won't be one.

It takes two to tango, but two people holding a staring contest hoping the other will propose a tango doesn't work all that well.

> Since when did "Don't give in to terrorists" stop being a thing?

It was never a thing. America's very first treaty was with pirates. Countries negotiate with terrorist groups regularly; they use the "we don't negotiate with terrorists" thing when they don't want to.
So you are happy for all international goods to get more expensive?

Because that will be the outcome of letting pirates run riot.
If the country itself (Ukraine) calls it officially as such, it should be respected. Same thing with the Netherlands/Holland debate, it isn't that difficult.
Winkey-fullstop is the Windows shortcut. It’s close enough.
idk. I pay $250 a month on loan for a car the size of a piñata, which goes fast and holds absolutely no cargo. I'm sure I've spent at least $2k on edge cases in the past few years renting or hiring when I had to move heavy objects on interstate journeys. Spread that out monthly, I could have saved money on a truck. Heck, I coulda bought a truck cheaper than my car. In my own calculation it's not worth it (because I don't want to drive a truck).

>> There are an infinite number of edge cases that can lead to total failure, so it is not rational to try to account for something solely on that basis.

I disagree here, because again you need to divide the probability by the severity of the consequences and only then rank the priorities. A $500k house on the side of a volcano that only erupts every thousand years is substantially different from the same house on a prairie, because the chance of total annihilation measurably increases the volatility of your bet. In gambling parlance, "risk of ruin". Once you see a possible risk of ruin you need to avoid it. I'll tell you why. Imagine that you had thought of it and discarded it as wildly unlikely. You did nothing to mitigate or plan for it. And a year later, it happened. You'd feel pretty stupid. You'd wish you had never even imagined it.

I didn't initially want to bring this up as an example, but it was actually the first on my mind: I live in a dangerous neighborhood. Some nights I fall halfway asleep without remembering to take my gun out of the safe and put it next to my bed. I look at the clock; it's 5am; it's probably fine; I don't want to get up. Then I think, imagine if ten minutes after I make this decision some guy breaks in and points a gun at me, how stupid I'd feel.

But it wasn’t an all time high, if you look at proportions, as we should.

Pinker has talked a lot about this, and going far back in history [0] has estimates that 15% of people died from violent deaths compared to 0.15% during the peak of ww2 Germany.

> It would need a profound change in Israeli politics to push for a two-state solution now, and the West has only limited leverage.

Hamas, Fatah and the Palestinian Authority have repeatedly rejected any two-state solution proposals. Hamas in particular has always resorted to terrorism. The appetite for a "two-state solution" seems much higher in Israel, even in the conservative communities, than it ever has been in the so-called Palestinian population.

So is there like a flat imprint of all the biological residue or is it more like a shell, if you know what I mean?

Switching to a different "thread" would also switch to a different stack though (although that would be kinda tricky on a 6502 where the stack is hardwired to the $100 page). Actual multithreading on an 8-bit CPU is a bit of an esoteric topic though, usually one only has to deal with interrupt service routines running concurrently :)

> result of hard work by people

Do you not think the hard work of people backed up by carrier strike groups is part of the equation? Ideally forced never has to be used, but sometimes it does.
I'm with you, even though I'm in the US. The actual food is perhaps the least important part.
This is more problematic in apartment buildings without parking space. I imagine that, as BEV adoption increases, parking lots will offer more charging spots. Ideally, one charges the car where it’s parked, and retrofitting apartment buildings for that might be complicated.
> Adding a room to my house where I live would add about $4k/year in mortgage costs.

You can't compare that to an AirBib bill dollar for dollar. The money you give to AirBnb is gone forever. The money you pay in mortgage partially goes to your equity and may partially be a tax deduction.
Given all this technological progression doesn't it seem antiquated that we are still talking about keyboards? I honestly cant think of a better, universal replacement but it starting to feel like it might come.
The really boring answer is that if we could just go out and run we would and it wouldn't be anything extra. But that often isn't how the world looks. Just like how most of the projects we can do by ourselves in a home office have already been done so they don't lead to much.

It is when we do something with others that it gets better than average and the result in the form of being enjoyable or interesting is more than the effort of doing it. If we already don't have a lot of time, energy and motivation running isn't giving us enough to make it worth it. And often we don't because of other things or boredom.
The last time we rented a car, they refused to give us any car. We had paid over $400 already. There were no other rental options anywhere. My father had to drive 14 hours round trip to pick up my family.

But yeah, I’m sure renting cars is always just perfect and never a nightmare.
OP and GP says that the nations affected most should lead the coalition, not US.

I don't think US is the only country with an army. However, from my perspective, US loves to lead these charges for win-win outcomes. "We keep our image as peacekeepers, so a win for us. We get to test what we have, again a win for us. Also weapon manufacturers make some more monies, again another win for us".

Nobody says that they shall let these attacks continue.
At first glance, these look nice to me? Perhaps they look silly up close. I'm not sure what you mean by impractical though, I don't consider tall and narrow to be essential to the style, though many of the 18th and 19th century townhouses in the style surely were.
I am quite upset and feel betrayed by Apple that they disabled the ability to export all highlights from a book in Apple Books. I would take notes of certain books for future summarization, and then suddenly with an update this is no longer allowed.
I don't think many people give a crap if I'm honest, at least in Europe. I'll be honest and say I don't. The whole Middle East has done a lot of repetitional damage to itself over the last 20 years by bringing its politics to us in Europe in the form of killing citizens. When it starts using those tactics in home territories against allies we're insensitive to their position.

As much as this sucks, Yemen is another Middle East shit show. And it's not a shit show we should expend anything further on other than protecting our shipping lanes.

I wish it could have been better but the damage is done. I'd rather everyone just stopped being nut jobs and blowing each other up respectively. And I don't think we should get involved in Middle Eastern politics, just distance ourselves from it.
Do you think these are exclusive options?

The coalition is pushing for a peaceful solution in Israel and Palestine. Just like in Ukraine.

And at the same time, they’re going to blow up a bunch of Houthis.
Excellent article. I have a couple of his books on my shelf waiting to be read.

Deaths went down compared to what? WW2 and Stalin and Mao's cleansings? That's not a high bar.
Regarding why we don't see them in stores, in part I think that's related to them being perishable but also because gooseberries and currants were both banned in the USA until 1966 because it carried a disease that hurt the white pine tree.

I've done the admittedly rough cost benefit analysis and for me it doesn't work out. There's hidden edge cases in each of these and other cases. I did optimize in other ways to make up for the inefficient choices though.

I have a huge house but live in a low CoL area where it costs the same as a condo in a high CoL place.

I drive a big passenger van but live in a small town where I can walk to the grocery store, gym, and library.

So you can mitigate in more ways than your suggesting.
Coincidentally was reading up on this last night. For anyone interested in a deep-dive on Yemen Houthi insurgents, some history, ... here is a great starter https://www.academia.edu/50126966/Jihadi_Militancy_and_Houth...

There are parallels with other conflicts the US has gotten involved in and with strong potential for it to become another forever-war.
