Yeah, it’s that second one is the biggie, especially if you’re dealing with something like an outbuilding that either only has intermittent power or even no power at all.
There has been extensive work done on categorising spreadsheet errors - see, for example, https://eusprig.org/research-info/research-and-best-practice.... A lot of this work was done over 2 decades ago. In my experience these is a lot less use of VBA macros compared to twenty years ago (taking out a large class of potential complexity and errors), but otherwise it appears that very little else has changed in that time with regards to critical spreadsheet errors. Most of the spreadsheets that I use are meant to be quick-and-dirty single uses, but a lot of the time they get copied and begin to take on a life of their own throughout an organisation - and that's where the errors creep in. It's easy to say that there should be a review process, and formalisation, of these spreadsheets before they get reused, but that fails to recognise that the reason these spreadsheets exist is that they solve an immediate business problem. There is rarely time for anything better. In my opinion, we should be training people that spreadsheet CAN, and are LIKELY TO, have errors, and that you shouldn't just accept 'the answer' popping out from a spreadsheet - we need to be skeptical of the use of the spreadsheets, and not be afraid of questioning them.
The same goes if the fence is there and grounded though?
Are people ignoring it? Or do people just not know how to solve it? What would you propose as a solution?
if that’s really how you feel then stop reading “news” and go to the pub.

Yes. I've tried it various times too. But there is something that just doesn't seem right about it. It's memorisation for the sake of it.

I've found that writing about the things that interest me, giving presentations, and talking about stuff with people with similar interests, is much more effective.

>I gave strong thought to joining the military.

Right, just like a lot of people give strong thoughts to a lot of things that are difficult but in reality will never happen. They convince themselves that they could do it if it weren't for this ONE thing. The one thing is always conveniently there.

Instead of action we get a rant of hot topic soup like yours. But as long as "I thought about it" is prefaced, then it's all good. This is the definition of a keyboard warrior.

These two things are related:

> I can never keep the workload under control, or my habits change, and give it up.

"Anyone else" includes "future you", because humans change over time. A highly personalized system is usually a highly inflexible system.
What they’re suggesting is that under packet loss conditions QUIC will outperform TCP due to head of line blocking (particularly when there are multiple assets to fetch). Both TCP and QUIC abstract away packet loss but they have different performance characteristics under those conditions.
Modern ICEs are already insanely sophisticated, in pushing the boundaries with all kinds of tiny tricks, just to get a small percent extra. There is only that much you can get by changing the valve timing, freevalve, compression ratio, air boosters, electric turbos, fuel injection methods, mixture ratio, how the fuel get sprayed most efficiently into the chamber, predictive hill cruise control, balancing rods and whatnot. Everything has been tried and the improvements for each new trick is only marginal.

Something more radical has to be done about the entire crankshaft and a 4 piston design. Believe me, lots of smart people have tried that as well, for many decades. Because the payoffs if you did find something are huge.

There are lots of YouTube channels needing into all of this. Engineering Explained is a good one if you want to understand the level of how advanced modern engines really are.
There's sifting to be done, but a scan over the top few pages of results (of 35,000,000 news articles total) shows a handful of bans for true but unpopular stances and opinions: https://www.google.com/search?q=banned+from+twitter+-trump+b...

Given only a fraction of account bans make the news, the problem was probably much bigger than the news indicates. Maybe 10-100x (what's the ratio of newsworthy to regular folks?). Also, when a prominent user is banned, others see that and clam up on the topic lest they face the same fate; they tread on egg shells, which doesn't constitute a healthy community for them.
> You would propose removing world wide borders and citizenship requirements?

From the point of view of citizens or economies rather than nations, their removal would apparently be a good thing, free movement boosting trade and the economy: https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2018/08/06/open-borders-econ... (Michael Clemens also quoted in other papers, I don't think I've heard of wbur.org before).

But it's the same problem as anarchy: to focus on only some aspect of freedom is to ignore harms prevented by the absence of, or limits to, that freedom.

> If the former, is there any real programmatic intelligent analysis of how this would actually happen and what the negatives would be?

I lack the necessary foundation to distinguish between such an analysis and a think-piece in a newspaper (or, these days, the output of a LLM, or a YouTuber in a suit and tie). Link I gave above? I can Google Michael Clemens, but even seeing a list of accolades whose standards I don't know either, means I can't tell how he and his views are rated by other economists. And worse, when I do look up a list of works by Michael Clemens, one of the results tells me:

"Michael A. Clemens [\n] Not to be confused with: Michael Peter Clements" - https://ideas.repec.org/e/pcl20.html

(And I'm only 80% sure the one quoted in the paper was A. not P.)

And even if he's great, Gell-Mann Amnesia effect says I can't just assume that he'd necessarily agree with how his views were presented by the press.

Different use case. The separated model of Penrose is great if you want multiple diagrams with the same style, but different data.
I don’t think it’s puritanical at all as narcotics for painkillers are dangerous.

Imagine if handguns were really good at treating pain, but had like a 30% chance of killing the patient. Would it be puritanical to not prescribe handguns to everyone with pain?

And if patients who thought they would not ruin their lives were upset about not being able to get handguns and complained about engaging in “handgun seeking behavior?”

Because that’s the deal here. Prescription painkillers are effective and easy, but are extremely dangerous. Pain protocols now feature OTC stuff even though they result in more pain in patients because they are equally effective but have no chance of death or life ruining addiction.

OxyContin should have been used for legit pain care.
The website being tested probably isn’t complicated enough to demonstrate that difference.
There are 2 sides of the problem. Consumers and services. Adding ipv6 from the side of services, that is something not so diverse, is easier than from the side of consumers (i.e. multiple ISPs, devices and so on).

If most if not all services are available also on IPv6, the demand for IPv4 may go down.

Services are the most forced side for using IPv4. Consumers can be behind some sort of NAT, so you can have a lot of users behind single IP addresses. But the destination, if it must be IPv4, is not so trivial.

That is the low hanging fruit of IPv6 adoption, having for all interesting services IPv6. Then ISPs will be free to do at their own rhythm their migration to v6 only. If interesting services start to be only for v6 (because they decided that public adoption was high enough, at least for their main target markets) ISPs will start to add ipv6 to their users, or provide some of the transition mechanisms like NAT46 if that is too complex/expensive because local infrastructure.

But still a lot of very used services are IPv4 only (https://whynoipv6.com/ have a recent enough list ), or worse, have faulty IPv6 implemented (i.e. AAAA records but nothing listening there or with routing problems)
As a geek I disagree with your interpretation of "production hell". I interpret it as a state where things either can't be built or never pass spec and we're outputting nothing but a series of one-offs that we hope won't get us sued with no real end in sight except for some vague "breakthrough" we're sure to hear from R&D any day now.

The main advantage is that you don't need to pay for electricity for lighting.

Now the disadvantages: most electrical equipment and the human body are not build to function in a continous (as in always present) electromagnetic field.
It ends with an effective, non-addictive alternative to opioids for pain management + more funding and care for rehab (including the drugs to wean opioid users off them, like methadone) to current addicts. [1] explains why the first part is difficult. The second part is difficult because many opioid addicts are already in marginalized areas or groups (ex. rural Appalachia) that don't get much of any support.

Hello, designer of Ur/Web here. It's great to see it popping up again on HN! Apologies for the diminishment of visible activity in the last few years. I've been distracted by working on our Ur/Web-based startup Nectry (https://nectry.com/) in parallel to my professor job.

This was interesting to me as well. I'm assuming the more limited IQ resulted in more of those soldiers falling into inherently more dangerous roles such as the Infantry due to inability to qualify for more technical and safer roles.
Personally I don’t think it needs search but if you really want search short-term: you can add a simple JS filter function that filters on-page without needing a backend.

I’d suggest two tweaks if you go that way: 1) Start the filtering only when number of typed characters >=3. 2. Add a (probably hidden) field that is also searched so you manually add search terms to a project and have it show up as a related item.
Bingo.

The center of this country (outside of a few major urban/sub-urban areas) is hollow.

Between the loss of agriculture as a family job, loss of industrial jobs, and opioid use after decades of methamphetamine use, it's bleak.

Has International Law Survived, or Has the Western Political Class Killed It?
The flip side of this and something that is barely ever talked about, is that for patients with severe chronic pain, access to medicine for relief has become nearly impossible. Often even if you get a legitimate prescription pharmacies will not fill it due to fear/quotas being enforced.

This fear was so pervasive they had my terminally ill father on stupidly high doses of methadone which nearly killed him, simply because they were too afraid of prescribing more traditional opioids.

Regarding the superiority of worldviews, sure, subjectivity applies and we could go down the rabbit hole of discussing that - but the comment I was replying to was not about which worldview was better! Vasco said that "Either it's fine for Earth to not have humans ... Or it's not fine ... but if to do that we want to reduce the humans, I don't get it." I'm not going to argue that my values are the best because it's already self-evident to me and I doubt I can improve on the existing work[0], but I am very willing to explain how they're logically consistent.

Previous Pebble (Classic v1 and 2) owner here. I was about to comment that it doesn't have e-ink and therefore would require multiple times a week charging but you mention it lasts a week (which the Pebble I mentioned also would target for; I don't accept less than a week). My Fossil HR Collider is fantastic with regards to battery life, and it only cost about 200 EUR. When I bought it I feared it'd remain too niche (it does not actually look my a smartwatch with the e-ink). Garmin are very well known in the sports sector.
Methadone is far more habit forming and difficult to quit than any other opioid out there. It has a dose-independent severe withdrawal that can last for months compared to “traditional” opioids that last maybe a week or two at most. If you are on it for any length of time it’s extremely improbable you are getting off of it, and it comes with many of the same dangers as traditional opioids do.

The world is both great and fucked up.

Right now it is likely the best its been for the most people ever. And not by a small way. And yes, for so many its also horrible right now. Made more depressing cause we see so much via the internet which tends to focus on the negative and we see this misery in 1920px 24/7.... its horrible.

I'm not the best to talk about these things...so would suggest talking to a professional if your this down, but for what its worth I do know there is a great world out there. I feel what you talk about sometimes and realise people need to shut of the global noise and do what you can to make your local patch a little better. The worlds always a mess, it always will be, and there's nothing you or I can do at that scale. But you can help out at a homeless shelter, or an old folk home etc and make a real different for many people. That and sadly, ignorance is bliss, get outta the depressing news cycle and limit yourself there a little to spend more time with family and/or friends if you can.

I truly hope things can brighten a little for you as there is also so much great around us!

I think your point 2 is absolutely on the nose here. It fits in with broader industry trends in testing and operations.

And perhaps that's where the OP's question originated from?

As we've watched the despecialization of our field in testing and ops, we've seen that things improve, as ideas are introduced more widely, while also seeing them get mimicked and cargo-culted when the ideas are diffused.

Maybe the coders who were fighting against testing mandates or devops or design thinking were just insecurely admitting to their own ignorance on these topics and asking for assistance in being able to perform their new duties effectively?

One value in specialists is the freedom that comes with specialization enables them to do their job more completely. Fred Brooks's surgical team could not be more relevant.
well, i am referring to the efforts of the fairphone and the pinephone as well as purism.

they are not complete, but to the extend that these projects are successful (and they are doing much better than the openmoko before it), eventually a fully open hardware phone will emerge.

basically my confidence is based on these trends. it is likely that an open hardware phone will always be a niche device, but for the past two decades attempts have been made to build such a phone, and i do not believe that these attempts will just stop.

on the contrary, as hardware production gets cheaper and cheaper, as the performance of these phones improves and will eventually reach a peak like it has with laptop and desktop devices, it will be easier and easier to actually produce a fully open hardware based phone. at that point the only thing getting in the way would be lobbying and aggressive acquisition by competitors that do not want to see an open phone.

a good example on the laptop side are framework laptops. similar attempts were made before but only now i find these models actually competitive in terms of features and price. (i am only waiting for them to offer a keyboard with a trackpoint like thinkpads, for them to be an alternative i can use)

open hardware devices will probably always be behind the most cutting edge features by a few years, but these features matter less and less, and to the extent that a 5 year old device is still perfectly usable today, so will an open hardware device with specs that are a few years behind the latest and greatest
