I probably distorted the original comment I read. The idea being having massive bandwidth so your processor could iterate over a very large dataset (for the era) constantly. Unlike mainstream processors, with way faster clock speeds but more bottlenecks, so for personal computing workload they were perfectly suited, but anything larger would cause performance drops.

Thanks for all your informations.
I got a Canon LBP233dw, it's a bit wonky in terms of build quality (my old HP1010 is just such a tank), but it does work with 3rd party cartridges, one of which (10000 pages) I bought right away (it said "works without chip check removal"). The printer seems fine after almost 15000 pages, the only issue is that it complains about this 3rd party stuff, so you have to press "OK", when it starts up.

PS oh, and if you want super high print quality, probably you should get an LBP236dw, which adds PostScript support.
Definitely agree that Crowdstrikes naming veers past what is necessary.

It's the #1 political issue in every single poll. Biden is polling so badly because of economy, and economy alone.
Marrying is a government assurance that your assets will be distributed to the person you signed the marriage contract with upon your death, nothing much more.

The government MUST accept it, it s the ONLY value of marriage: it is not an "act", it s a legal contract.

Ofc it s stupid not to make it happen, and it has been a long combat. Most of humanity doesnt allow it yet, and maybe from the comfort of where you type from, it's done and away, but here in China, it an exhausting fight.

What were you finding so strange in saying it was a long combat ? I see 100 years at least before it happens here.
A more accurate description would be that Go has a single function color, that is namely green. This distinction is important because, for example, C also has no function coloring problem only because it doesn't care about lightweight threading, i.e. its function color is always red. Only Zig's approach, and hopefully Rust's keyword generics if accepted, can be considered to have no function color.
They are not volunteering the information, from their perspective. They are just venting their frustration that their government is not allowing them to do business. They can't really see the geopolitics of it; and morally they think anything that sells is Okay. Not that the West is any different, though usually people in the West are more reasonable than the average Chinese.
It's oddly similar to seeing a flag at half-mast in real life. Sometimes you know who it's for, sometimes you don't.
Or maybe it's the fact that incumbent manufacturers of internal combustion cars spend billions on advertising and publications are protecting their source of income.

apples themselves, all on their own, don't "breed true". If you take seeds from an apple from a tree that you love and plant them, you will not get a tree that produces fruit that tastes the same. The majority of apples "born" are sour. When a tasty apple tree is grown, it's a small miracle, and cuttings are propagated from it because it's the only way to produce more apples that are good.

Johnny Appleseed walking through colonial American planting apple trees? he was a hippy promoting more fermentation of alcoholic apple cider, for which sour apples work just fine.

virtually all French wine grapes, btw, are grown from cuttings grafted onto American root stocks because the native roots were not resistant to the invasive Phylloxera fly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylloxera

it is because of grafting that we have variety in these cases.
It is satire.
In my distant past I used to be a military air traffic controller, also certified and managed civilian traffic. This seems crazy to me. In my world you would give pilots the simplest next instruction and ask them to report. Even with the simplest possible instructions, and mostly extremely good/experienced pilots, you have mistakes, can't imagine what something so complicated results in.

EDIT: though I guess this conversation isn't during the actual flight, it's some pre-flight "discussion"/instructions?

EDIT2: or you break it down to chunks, make sure every chunk is understood before you move to the next chunk, is another common technique.

Personal responsibility. The idea is those 2-3 adult users should all be monitoring their own statements. Not you monitoring everything for them.
Electronic are dirty, your keyboard has a lot of junk, even salt from chips and pretzels, sugar from sticky fingers, etc. Spilling even distilled water on your keyboard dissolves all of that and makes the water conductive. Luckily some better laptops have channels (drip holes) for water to drain without affecting the board, but relying on bad conductivity of distilled wated in real-life scenarios is really not safe :)
They mention both Android and Microsoft have some apps that don't launch the user's browser choice.

I have a related problem which is apps that launch their own web view as a builtin web browser when you click a link in the app. This lets them spy on any web activity that you do while in that embedded web view.

I think I wish that both the Android Play Store and the iOS App Store required apps to launch the user's browser for all 3rd party websites. To do this, they'd have apps categorize themselves as "web browser" or "not web browser".

For a "not web browser", the app would have to make a short list of domains (5? 10?) that it's allowed to talk to. Any others would be blocked by the OS.

For a "web browser" the app could contact any domain.

I don't know what legalize like language they'd use to define "Web browser" but apps like Facebook, FB Messenger, Google Maps, and others who's primary use is not "Browsing the web" could be clearly in the "not web browser" category.

There's multiple reasons I want this.

1. Apps with embedded web views can spy on all network activity and web view activity. By preventing apps from having embedded browsers that problem is solved.

2. Passwords, addresses, other things are synced in my browser profile. Every time some app launches an embedded browser I get none of that

3. Bookmarks are synced in my browser profile. Any sites I view in an embedded browser I can't bookmark

4. History is synced in my browser profile. Any sites I view in an embedded browser don't show up in my history

One other feature I might require if I was ruler of the world is that these apps that launch links be required to support a context menu for "open in private browser window"
As stated by the article. To be fair, I also don't always RTFA.

Another option is to implement your API in a sans-io form. Since k8s-openapi was mentioned (albeit for a different reason), I'll point out that its API gave you a request value that you could send using whatever sync or async HTTP client you wanted to use. It also gave you a corresponding function to parse the response, that you would call with the response bytes your client gave to you.

https://github.com/Arnavion/k8s-openapi/blob/v0.19.0/README....

(Past tense because I removed all the API features from k8s-openapi after that release, for unrelated reasons.)

Grid: Dabble in Precision: Fundamental Principles
System76 used to be rebranded Clevo/Sager laptops. I’m not sure if that’s still the case. You can buy them in various places, customize them, and have them put Linux (or nothing) in it. Or build your own. I paid to have mine built, but got out the screwdrivers to replace a hard drive, and it wasn’t too bad.

The build quality is worse than Mac, definitely, but you can get a really nice spec for cheap. And they’re serviceable, definitely on-par with the Lenovo and HP models that we’ve had in our house.

I bought a custom build from Xotic PC, using the “no operating system” option, and slapped Fedora on it. I’ve been Linux-only in my personal laptops since 2012, and windows-free much longer than that.

Hardware support is excellent, I’ve never had an issue. Everything just works. There’s a lot of FUD out there, and I’m skeptical of how accurate it is. My experience has been extremely low-touch, and extremely positive; it’s a tool, not a hobby, for me—I don’t tinker.
Or maybe the mods could ensure that the HN article about the person remains on the front page as long as the bar is there.

Reading this gave me a related idea for a 3D FDM printer that lays down water. Maybe just a floating head suspended by ropes from three different trees. Perhaps three base stations on the ground for more accurate positioning. It would only work when it was really cold out. But it would be pretty neat to play with printing some kind of crazy human-scale structure/sculpture, and not have to worry about what you're going to do with it when you're done.
Not sure if you mean bulbs or strips. For bulbs, most of IKEA's smart home stuff is Zigbee, supported by HE community drivers, and is priced well.

For strips, if you're ok with wifi, HE supports local control of Kasa devices, which is made by TP-Link. Otherwise your best bet is something Zigbee-controlled but I don't have a particular recommendation.

Check the HE forums[1], too, they're very active and full of recommendations, driver links, and experience reports.

The 100th parallel conveniently divides the West based on water scarcity. I wouldn’t be surprised if the generational memories of the Dust Bowl influences these questions of identity.

I'm afraid that particular author is legendary for having been ridiculed, as far as the term "bullschildt" having been coined on Usenet.

Ask HN: Book Recommendations for Decentralized Systems
There are plenty of good books on designing distributed systems like "Distributed Systems" by Tanenbaum/ Maarten van Steen and "Designing Data-Intensive Applications".
Looking for simillar recommendations for decentralized systems - ie books which are technical and practical, may be intermediate to advance level - not something that is introductory or purely theory/philospohy/business oriented.
Immigration is also a major issue. Not as much as the economy overall, but similar to inflation specifically: https://news.gallup.com/poll/1675/most-important-problem.asp....

Yes, most conformal coatings are thermal insulators.

This is sort of the core of the whole idea of concurrency. There are lots of good explanations online if you search for “concurrency vs parallelism.”

The gist is that while you await the result of an async function, you yield to the executor, which is then free to work on other tasks until whatever the await is waiting for has completed.

The group of tasks being managed by the executor is all different async functions, which all yield to the executor at various times when they are waiting for some external resource in order to make forward progress, to allow others to make progress in the meantime.

This is why people say it’s good for IO-bound workloads, which spend the majority of their time waiting for external systems (the disk, the network, etc)

> Why not just do the reverse, and have .so redirect to .com (since .so predated you owning .com)

There's an ocean of effort in the word "just" to do this without it being hugely disruptive to our users. If was "just" so easy, we would have done it! If I went into Cloudflare and fiddled a quick 302 redirect:

- Every Notion user in the world gets logged out, since their cookie is HTTP-only for origin `notion.so`

- Nobody using OAuth login like Google can log in on notion.com since we didn't add the new origin to various allow lists. Cross-origin embeds that allow-listed us break too.

- All our mobile and desktop app users apps will behave in some unpredictable way. Maybe they follow the redirect, maybe they treat any notion.com URL as an external web page and open it in the user's default browser or SFSafariViewController. App store ratings plunge from 4.5 stars to 1 star.

- Customers who added URL-based rules have their rules broken. Maybe this means our app doesn't load for a bunch of large enterprises with stringent security/firewall policies.

It would be the worst incident in Notion's history, it would cost us tens of millions of dollars of lost revenue, and our reputation might never recover.

I think I could fix all those issues and start testing in 1-2 months if it's all I worked on. But, right now I'm working on making Notion databases (the product feature [1]) faster. If I asked our customers to choose between .com and a faster Notion, I think 90% will choose faster Notion. If I think about our product roadmap, 0% of it depends on .com.

[1]: https://www.notion.so/help/intro-to-databases

> Also ccTLD pose the risk of being "retired".

> Why take the risk when .com will never be retired.

Well, ccTLD retirement has a 5-year notice period, so if you gave me and SoNIC the notice that .so is retiring today, I still don't think I'd change Notion's roadmap for the next year at least, maybe we'd start working on it in 2025.

That said, I don't know everything going on at the company, and it'd be comparably easy to migrate just the "marketing" routes of our site like https://notion.so/product. Someone might already be working on it!

I still don't understand why stevia isn't more widely-used. I suspect that it's a combination of 1) its reputation being stymied by grocery store "stevia" that actually consists largely of garbage bulking agents and sugar alcohols and 2) the fact that it can taste bitter at higher concentrations, because it's otherwise a fantastic sugar substitute. I primarily use it to sweeten juices, coffee, tea, and cocktails but have also used it while baking to decent success (if you qualify turning high-protein pancake mix into a tray of brownies "baking"). Throwing it in non-fat yogurt with some cocoa powder makes a fantastic dessert as well.

*EDIT: For those asking I use Now Foods Stevia Extract. It comes in liquid form in a bottle. A dab will do you - add a few drops to whatever you're sweetening and see how you like it. It goes from imperceptible to moderately sweet to bitter tasting _very_ quickly. You'll need to develop a feel for using it.

I'm not being paid by Big Stevia - I just find its negative reputation unfortunate and undeserved.

Interesting to see Xylitol on the list. I exclusively chew Xylitol gum because I understood it to be healthier in the sense it kills bacteria that consume it, since it's not actually a sugar and bacteria cannot live on it. My favorite is Spry gum.

Healthline [0] includes this piece right in the headline though, so I appreciate the transparency:

> It may have health benefits but could cause digestive issues and other side effects.

Fortunately I don't experience any adverse symptoms and have consumed it for years, but I may be a bit more mindful now.

British household electrical systems are normally built as one large ring circuit, originally in order to save copper after WW2.

This means you don't have breakers for each branch circuit (there are no branch circuits), just the single mains breaker for the house. This single breaker is too large to trip from a short from occuring in the smaller wires inside an appliance.

So each plug (or hardwired device) needs it's own dedicated smaller fuse instead.

Against Method by Paul Feyeraband

Critical Path by buckminster fuller
That works if you're willing to have your system be DoS'd. If every request takes half a second, that just means the attacker needs more systems sending requests in parallel to get the required number of samples quickly. In today's world, you'd probably just scale up a bit to ensure you could still serve requests. If you let your system go down under load, you can severely restrict how much data attackers can get at the cost of being useless to whoever your intended users are.

The attacker would also likely need more patience, but timing attacks are not for those looking for quick wins.

The preferred way to handle this is to make sure your operations are constant-time. This eliminates the timing side channel. This is harder, and often slower, but solves the problem entirely.
But charging a subscription you signed up for isn't taking advantage of you.

Are there really people who struggle with not canceling subscriptions? It's genuinely hard for me to see how that's not a choice.

I could understand if we're talking about something like gambling addiction, where there's a compulsion.

But there's no addiction here. There's no scam. There's no taking advantage of children.

There's literally nothing but asking adults to be aware of their finances and to cancel subscriptions they don't want to pay for any longer. It's the absolute lowest bar I can possibly think of in terms of basic financial skills.
Do you have a source for the stevia you like?
I am upper middle class. A friend of mine, who is wealthier than I, were talking about being able to afford groceries. Not organic groceries, not special local grass fed beef or anything silly like that. A family of four is paying about 1k a month in groceries to eat "reasonably" well. In that I am including things like dog food and detergent, but still this is a ridiculous number.

Inflation, on paper, might be okay, but each week I find myself curtailing our grocery selection more and more, simply to maintain the budget at status quo.

Inflation may be slowing, but it's still bad, and it is much worse for many more people than it is for me.
Even ultrapure water conducts electricity. It says right here [1] that its resistivity is 1.82×10^9 Ohm * m.

This is a pet peeve of mine. We get told of conductors and insulators in school, but it doesn't work like that. Pretty much everything except a perfect vacuum conducts electricity. It's just that some materials conduct electricity so poorly that it can be rounded off to 0 in most circumstances, but there can still be measurable current flow.

`block_on` seems like the right balance of code duplication and overhead, imo.

It is a somewhat strange compile time jumble of libraries but a compile time overhead isn't so bad.
