My practical experience with that idea is pretty negative, at least with any degree of scale (either in how widely used the resource in question is or in number of people working on the system). I saw a multi-year mess made at a company when the widely used `ResourceA` got endpoints for `ResourceAandB` and C, and D, and E... for the reasons you mention. Then somebody added some fields to make a `ResourceA'` with a specific additional feature. Then somebody removed unused fields from `ResourceA'` for better performance, creating different subsets. We ended up with some `ResourceAandC` things moving to the new `A'`, some features did a frontend join with multiple queries, some things moved to a new superset resource named `ResourceA''`. It was a Cambrian explosion of variants of types. Like violence, it ended up being "if one doesn't work, just add more."

It's easy to say "don't do that" but shit happens: large legacy codebases, social factors, and individual incentives of backend and frontend teams with deadlines. GraphQL makes the outcomes of these situations a lot more manageable. In that way I think of it as a social and organizational technology as much as a query technology.
That felt like a waste of time for a "gotcha" post. The author must be very smart™. C has undefined behavior, got it, I probably have a pretty good intuition for how common compilers implement it though.
It seems like that is no longer the case. I was able to successfully retrieve a non-standard variable using the `UEFIv2` PowerShell module [1] (which is just a thin wrapper around the undocumented `NtEnumerateSystemEnvironmentValuesEx` function) without actually naming the variable in question.

To the untrained layman like me, this sounds like Windows actually is querying via `GetNextVariableName`, because UEFI doesn't seem to offer any other interfaces that aren't "get/set variable by name".

Ouch this hits home. Its still the case to today: many Maltese just depend on the government to figure it out for them.

As a result:
1. The government is the biggest employer on the island.

2. There are mandatory cost of living allowance increases every year decided by the government. Its always too slow and slightly too low. For comparison, the last COLA increase had 5% of it shaved off within a few weeks because local milk prices rose as a result.

3. The government has been subsidising electricity since the start of the invasion of Ukraine to avoid rising bills (historically it was a political football). WTO, EC, and other institutions have repeatedly told the government to wind them down but its repeatedly ignored this because any government which does will likely collapse in a few months.

Its a super frustrating cycle to see year after year and its not surprising to see that its been historically accurate too.

Fwiw, I'm Maltese and in my early thirties.
most restaurants here are take your code to their payment station. With all the insurance against fraud in the USA I don't care.

Even if you believe you have average intelligence, it's without doubt that there are many more students in school with lower motivation. To the point that getting them to write a paragraph is like pulling teeth. The difference between the students in the AP classes when I was in high school and the students in the A or B level classes was night and day in terms of just paying attention or being able to give any answer to a question.

There's only so much you can do to make a subject interesting when the students care so little about their education. It starts at a young age and just compounds. By the time you see them as students in high school, they're already years behind in motivation and education.
When I see it used it's as a device to set expectations when there are so many variables at play that any promise or commitment would be foolish, lead to disappointment with no upside. And that's how I'd interpret it here too.

It has nothing to do with dishonesty. Though I have no doubt that it might be used that way, that's fraudulent and a whole different ball-game commercially.

Same, it was a good era of Labour policy, regardless of what people say.

I don't think "experts" are always what they're cracked up to be. Partisan writers funded by anonymous third parties etc try to put themselves on a par with eg, university professors. Both groups like to ignore people's actual experiences too, preferring abstraction that misses key things.

Ultimately experts can't answer the question of what a good society looks like. Their job is to make it happen - if they're intellectually honest enough to try even when they don't agree with the starting point the politicians and electorate come up with.
Im going to guess your politics are probably right of center. My experience is very different. I'm not very political and it used to be that I could mostly avoid politics. Now my feed seems to mostly full of right-wing trolls and relentlessly so even though I hardly engage. If I was a conspiracy nut I would go as far as saying Elon is trying to force a 'diversity of political opinion' or at least his version of it on my feed.

By that metric, various economic schools have been hilariously inept and would get classified not dissimilar to various schools of religious theology with their own dogmas. It's only in the last 15 years or so that some focus on empiricism and explaining reality rather than building theoretical castles in the air is coming about and is still far from mainstream.

I was referring to other boards, not the Raspberries which have a well supported OS, apologies for not being clear about that. Other board manufacturers often publish distros which have been cobbled together with old kernels and proprietary blobs, then they abandon them when the board is declared obsolete. This is not the case of the Raspberry Pi of course, but for other boards I would check first the above mentioned distros before installing anything by the vendors.

On a related note: Cold War-era Polish military maps of the British Isles, in case of a Warsaw Pact invasion thereof:

Is “it” real? Sure, it’s real. You described reality as I understand it as well, and your definition seems precise enough…but you and I are inside the fishbowl. The best description of this era may end up being “advent of permanent gerontocracy” or some other phenomenon that seems ancillary right now.

Should we curb it? HN people are likely to be getting paid to support it (I am) so opinions here are not objective. For me, sure, I got mine already, burn it down. For younger people the choice is surely murkier.

My fear about curbing it is that we seem to lack a collective understanding of pernicious root causes, or even a majority viewpoint, in part because the forces you describe have so thoroughly perfected the art of influencing public discourse.

You hit the nail on the head. Copyright is, by its very nature, a "tool of capital." It's a means of creating new artificial property fiefdoms for a select few capital holders to lord over, while taking rights from anyone else who wants to engage in the practice of making art.

Everyone has their right to expression infringed upon, all so the 1% of artists can perpetually make money on things, which are ultimately sold to corporations that only pay them pennies on the dollar anyway.

You, as an indie hip hop or house musician supported by a day job, can't sample and chop some vocals or use a slice of a chord played in a song (as were common in the 80s and 90s) for a completely new work, but apparently the world is such a better place because Taylor Swift is a multimillionaire and Disney can milk the maximum value from space and superhero films.

I'd rather live in a world where anyone is free to make whatever art they want, even if everyone has to have a day job.
Thanks for the response! A decade ago I had a BMW 330 xi circa 2003. It was super fun to drive, but the plastic components that made up the cooling system needed to be replaced or repaired every month or two. I sold it because I was tired of the constant overheating. I take it that newer models have more durable parts, then?

I'm afraid most US chains/restaurants will only change their equipment when their equipment dies. It's going to be a few more years to a decade I think. Most of these units are pretty reliable and can go for a decade or more easily. At least most POS at gas stations, chain stores take NFC now.

No, the negative points don't go away whatsoever. Normalizing the sexualization of minors is never not going to be a problem.

If you take a photo of a minor and then use that photo to generate CSAM, even if it is "fake", that's not in any way OK on numerous levels. There's the legal, moral and ethical aspects of it, and then there's the issue of consent. Can you imagine people normalizing it for themselves and no longer being attracted to adults? Fuck that rabbithole. We already know about the negative side effects of porn addiction in terms of real sex.

These things are damaging by their very existence. Can you imagine the bullying and rumours that are possible now because of technology like this being so readily available? It doesn't matter if it's real or not. People used to crappily MS Paint/Photoshop heads of female minors onto "bikini babes" and pornstars when I was at high school, that didn't make it OK, even if it didn't look real in any way whatsoever. It has a massively negative effect on the person it is of.

It doesn't prevent anything, quite the contrary, it enables everything. Look at the proliferation of fake news already in the past few years, people know they shouldn't believe everything they read on the internet, but people parrot internet fake news constantly. People act on it. People get killed over it. People kill themselves over it.

Putin is trouble for US because they are used to picking their own enemy. And now they already have one, thank you very much. So Putin is very much a superfluous nuisance. I'm sure there was one faction that considered pivoting from China to Putin, but it doesn't seem very strong. The stronger faction is just hoping that it will end one way or the other soon enough so they can come back to fully exploiting potential of having China as the enemy. While for Europe the threat is existential if not in the short term then surely in mid to long term.

Many countries with local ambitions smell blood in the water and they start to pop up their heads. Putin is the largest one, but there are so many recently. US has pretty much no hopes of maintaining control over it all. It's not even trying. It divested from Ukraine, tentatively invested in Israel, pretty much ignoring everything else.
Although this is a joke, from a systems perspective this is a valid strategy - stateless lambda (FAAS) functions can use this strategy as the state is moved externally, and can take the load of say long running monitoring processes.

It fundamentally changes the cost structure and investment risk profile of business plans without changing anything about the intrinsic economics of the business by requiring much more capital to achieve the same outcome. A perfectly reasonable business plan can suddenly become non-viable if there is a huge new overhead to doing business. Suddenly needing to pay $1M to the IRS on "profit" for a company that is barely making money is rather large change to the financial assumptions that make the business viable.

Affected small businesses suddenly need to increase revenue or cut costs by 20% just to keep their business solvent. Most small businesses do not have the structural elasticity or capital reserves to absorb that, nor do many business plans. In the very long term it notionally all evens out but most small businesses don't survive that long and these large new costs of doing business will reduce the survival rate even further.

Thanks for your message and interest in the MouthPad^! In the future, we plan to integrate various health-tracking capabilities, including gas sensing. This could help monitor smoking habits and might assist in efforts to smoke less.

Your use case sounds entirely feasible and promising. We're also looking at the possibility of coupling eye tracking for cursor movement with the MouthPad^ trackpad, functioning as a gestural trackpad. This setup would allow for left clicks, right clicks, swipes, click-and-drag actions, and other gestures. It's an exciting prospect that could significantly improve the eye-tracking experience by overcoming the typically slow response of dwell-based clicking.

Stay tuned for these developments, and thanks for recognizing our work – it’s greatly appreciated!
