From my cursory analysis, Rosatom has researched, built and exploited a number of newer nuclear technologies. We don't hear much about them because Russia is much like China the subject of abjectly poor knowledge and analysis. In the west, large parapublic actors like Framatome (insert name of the day here) were castrated in their efforts. Western private sector initiatives exist but at this stage, they're years behind the real world experience of Russia.
Slint author here. Allow me to share a few reasons why we believe choosing Slint over Qt:

- Qt is a C++ framework for C++ developers, its language bindings for other languages, are second-class citizens and not truly idiomatic (I know, I've made bindings for Rust before). C++ may not always be the optimal language for writing GUI application logic. Slint is designed with a smaller API surface and improved bindings for multiple programming languages. (eg, we don't duplicate half of the C++ stdlib)
With our JavaScript binding, we are a good lightweight alternative to Electron.

- The Slint language is using static typing, and each file is self-contained, simplifying tooling. We already offer IDE support with the language server protocol, featuring a Live Preview. We're also developing a WYSIWYG editor. Catching errors at compile time is better than at runtime.

- Slint is optimized to work on less powerful hardware devices, even supporting micro controllers with less than 300K of RAM, while Qt require 100 or 1000 times that amount)

- As a young and small company, every customer is invaluable to us. We are offering personalized support and implementing features to allow for the product of our customers. Even small customer receive the attention they deserve.

- In general, Slint is what we think QML could be without its legacy, by starting afresh. We acknowledge that this is an ambitious project that will take time to mature, but we encourage you to give it a try.
Every now and then I look at this site, I hope the project keeps growing !
You have to consider hardware limitations, you want maximum battery (thus minimize power burn, by reducing CPU and GPU load), and that can only be achieved by optimizing for the highest possible speed.

Battery life is everything, no one cares about electricity bills on a laptop or phone, but they do care if the phone or laptop dies sooner than it has to.
This take is unnecessarily negative. OP could be very aware of the limitations of their chosen approach and use the feeder accordingly.
those guides are awesome
The one thing that most defines Google products is that each one must collect data from the user in a way that is unique to their other products. If it doesn’t do that it doesn’t get to exist.
> It is not the complexity of WWW that give you Widevine.

It is however the complexity of the WWW that has resulted in the current situation where both mainstream browser engines support DRM.

Indeed, the real problem is that I can write an all-inclusive "both", and even then one is really just a fork of the other.

OK, there is a third one, but it's not the default anywhere and it also has DRM :(

> Last check Youtube is not doing server side ad insertion yet.

You also write `yet' :) Considering YT's anti-adblocking efforts lately, I assume it is just a matter of time.
RIP indeed. It still bums me out, especially Chester.
>Google isn’t a product company.

I disagree. Google does have great products, Google Maps, Search, GMail etc.
Alto del Tejuelo cave system, now the longest in Spain
Speleologists studying the Alto del Tejuelo cave (Cantabria. North of Spain) reported recently about 28 years of research exploring new areas in the cave complex.

With an explored part comprising 206 Km of galleries in a 626 m deep cave; the report placed the cave system as the longest in Spain and third longest in Europe. Mammoth cave (USA), the longest in the world, has 685Km. The cave complex comprises 7 zones connected by the speleologists, spreads under four valleys and can be accessed by 20 different pits.

I believe one of the browsers mentioned (badwolf) just uses webkit, so it probably can browser the modern web just fine.

Dillo and links2 might have a harder time with js and css tho, I'm not even sure if they support js at all.
I still wonder why this isn’t a problem in Germany, i get at most one spam call per year.
Easy: Bad Vehicles are over-heavy, fuel-guzzling, dangerous-to-others (body-on-frame, high bonnet, bull bars...) things that are sold as "trucks" or "SUVs" -- you know, the original trucks and SUVs, which definition many people who know shit about cars and trucks remember and still use. Most things that are sold as "trucks" or "SUVs" nowadays aren't necessarily Bad Vehicles, seeing how they're just station wagons on stilts with faux-macho design plastered over the outside. They only lean towards the Bad Vehicles side of things when that silly design goes too far towards dangerous-to-others (high square bonnets, shooting-slit visibility etc) in the name of faux-macho buyer appeal. Detach the bull bars from your Outback and you'll probably be OK.

Just use a Wago connector no soldering needed. Not everything has to be or should be soldered so maybe the question should be what to use for which situation?

From what I have read high current connections shouldn't be soldered (heat may melt solder) so you crimp not solder.
I think up to a point being a specialist enables being a generalist. If you deep dive into the workings of programming languages, you gain valuable knowledge you can apply elsewhere (in other languages or even outside of them). I always ask myself how much of ones experience with some technology is transferable knowledge. In programming languages that are conceptually poor, there will be less transferable knowledge, than in programming languages, that introduce many profound concepts. Of course there is also a certain kind of knowledge to lower level languages. But it might not transfer well to higher level languages and their abstractions. Though one might understand how those are implemented, which is also good to know.
waking up in the middle of the night is extremely normal, even with "perfect" sleep hygiene.

in fact, cbt-i, the therapy I undertook last year and earlier this year, takes advantage of this to help patients mitigate their insomnia.[0]

the treatment protocol requires that you get out of bed and literally go anywhere else when you wake up at night. you can do almost anything you want during that time, even watch TV or play games! (i read hacker news or read "linux kernel development" by robert love; if you're on here, thanks!)

given this, it's not surprising that our ancestors divided their sleep into two halves. our circadian rhythms are naturally programmed to sleep when it's dark and stay awake when it's bright. i could imagine that their circadian rhythms were more "in tune" before electricity.

[0] "insomnia" isn't curable and can happen to everyone! it's more of a state of being than a condition or disease.
There are also tools that allow you to block everyone who’s liked a tweet, everyone who follows a particular person, etc. I don’t know if Garry Tan uses such a tool, but maybe he does.
You keep moving the goalposts.

I don't see why the executives should be liable as long as they didn't personally choose the foam or hid the complaints.

In a big company it's impossible for a single person to know everything that's happening at every level.
"Fuck this odious turd and anyone who would try to excuse him."

I think what you mean to say was:

Fuck Y Combinator as a staff, message board, and as a mother fucking VC group. And if you want to be down with Y Combinator, then fuck you too.

Sam Altman, fuck you too.
Isn't it easy enough to make ammunition for modern rifles?

I'm not a gunsmith or gun engineer, but it doesn't sound difficult to reuse casings and make ammunition.

Of course, one would still need to make:

* pointy bullets with steel scraps and some cast/mold and some coal-powered oven (you see a lot of youtube guys melting metal with not that much equipment)

* gunpowder and a primer, and might not require a lot of chemistry. Smokeless powder is hard to do, but normal powder should be easy enough.

Even in the end times when there is no oil or industry, it seems that making rifle ammunition is still better, modern rifle are quite accurate and deadly at 100m, maybe even with low quality ammunition, while you need a very skilled archer to hit a target at that distance.
What an absurd position. Comparing things helps calibrate the response. You compare situations to others you've experienced in the past to come up with an appropriate reaction.

What's the intent of SWATing? It is attempted murder.

And no, half the teenagers are not sociopaths. Sociopathy is a well defined condition that cannot be cured.

You're clearly neither a doctor nor a lawyer and have chosen a weird hill to die on, but carry on.
I thought exceptions were considered harmful in current year. (Opinions may differ.)

Also the abstract class thing didn't stop C++, lol
I don't believe there is a single real reason for complexity in building software. Nor was the reason given in the article fake, for that matter.

In my experience, pkgsCross in Nixpkgs actually does make cross compiling a whole lot easier compared to other solutions. That's because a lot of the time, the techniques explained in the article allows existing packages to be cross compiled without any modifications. Even in cases where modifications are required, it saves a ton of work. Given the amount of packages in Nixpkgs, there's much less dependencies that you have to deal with.
> However, I was strongly advised against doing this when I mentioned this to my sleep specialist. It’s possible for your nose to get obstructed and you can risk suffocating

CPAP user here. I tape my mouth. The risk of suffocating due to a blocked nose seems low to me, for two reasons. First, because I can simply do a one-sided smile and breathe normally through my mouth -- I've tried many times for funsies and it's never failed. Second, because you should always fold the two bottom corners of the tape to facilitate its quick removal in the morning anyway.

The real risk of taping your mouth at night, in my opinion, is if there's any chance of vomiting. Without any other way to go, you would aspirate the vomit and that's bad. What I do to reduce that risk is not eating for three hours before using the CPAP.

So why go through all that effort when one could simply use a full face CPAP mask? That's because it is difficult to produce an airtight seal around your whole face, which is necessary for CPAP therapy to work. Creating a seal around your nose is much easier and the smaller size of a nasal nask allows you to sleep on your side, which for most people means you can get away with using lower pressures, which in turn are more comfortable.
I am definitely not using hardware decoding.

My setup is Media Player Classic Home Cinema, splitting and decoding via LAVFilters, then fed through ffdshow for some filters, before finally rendering on Enhanced Video Renderer.

Nowhere in the pipeline is the GPU involved as far as decoding is concerned, it's all deliberately software on the CPU.
Fair point, the apparent shift in their consumer electronics division (a decline in innovation) may be partially or entirely unrelated to the factors leading to this incident.

However the brand as a whole is not enjoying its day in the sun, and I hope more people do not get hurt or worse.
That answers my question about the embeds not playing at all (thank you, that's what I get for speed reading), but I'm curious if there are other limitations.
Compiling a Lisp, the series
https://bernsteinbear.com/blog/lisp/
In data engineering, there are frameworks like DBT that do exactly that. In fact, these are industry standards and the recommended way to do transformations and cleanups nowadays. This is essentially a mix of sql and jinja (and yaml files, for variables), you can create your own macros, it comes with it's own testing framework and also strict sql code formatters. Fits git flow quite well.
The rationale is that it enables data analysts (data analytics engineers) to do quite sophisticated stuff still using sql. Also, if you are operating on datasets that are larger that a single machine can process, doing it in sql and passing to MPP engines like BigQuery and Snowflake are probably the only way to do it with relative ease.

In any case, this is for data engineering only. I wouldn't imagine doing this for live production stuff.
In vino veritas, as the saying goes.

For most of them, I'm not. But some creators have alternative revenue streams which I do support.

This is not my problem to fix. I don't feel guilty in any way for refusing to participate in a business model I don't agree with.

You seem to know a lot about this time. Would you have a reference on this report ? I am quite curious now !
Did you miss the part where that's exactly the main problem with them that pretty much everyone else here is talking about, i.e. what this discussion is (mainly) about?
Any links? What is it called?
Slint do have accessibility support though.
(docs: https://slint.dev/releases/1.4.1/docs/slint/src/language/bui... )

Is it not good enough?
My novice view....Laser connections are point to point, so they can be between satellites....But to the end user equipment,having those many point to point laser connections might be too difficult or impractical to achieve...So that's where they use radiowaves, which means any satellite over the horizon can talk to a dish...
This would be a good dbrand style marketing point; "Round down pricing: You're a rounding error, so why would we bother charging you!" :-)
researchers don't read tutorials, they cross check each other's work. You need details to do that.
Was here to say the same thing. OP ignoring history to double-down on gender bigotry is disappointing to find on HN.
The 'a' in imgui stands for accessibility.

Sometimes, it's useful to have a quick and dirty GUI toolkit. I think Slint fills that gap.
Is there any good data movement/transformation software for on-prem? Specifically integration of other databases and Excel into MSSQL (<100GB of data).

I have looked at SSDT, which looks really clunky... Was going to use a similar approach to OP, especially because it's cheap and ressource-efficient, but lack of support infrastructure might come back to bite me.
It can still be leaked.
I wouldn't necessarily call it a new ecosystem. It's mostly the same walled garden that runs iOS/iPadOS.

a rainbow parasol perhaps would be more spiritually and psychologically beneficial.
It's probably also worth noting that most job ads are not 100% honest with the requirements for the role, and often feel more like a wishlist for the 'ideal' candidate rather than a set of concrete requirements. Heck, I've had at least a few companies and recruiters come back after I said I didn't feel I was right for the role due to not having [particular skill/language listed in the description] and say that it wasn't actually necessary after all.

Well, at least that's often the case for permanent roles. For contractor ones it's likely a lot more about finding the person who can fix their problem immediately, and hence the requirements would be more accurate.
I've not seen studies suggesting that the heat in warmer climates is warm enough to kill off germs in a way that would be relevant. I have seen studies showing the impact of cold on our immune systems. Feel free to provide sources though.
I used tons of lash splices while building an RV-10 airplane but didn’t know the name until now. Thank you!
An eye opener honestly, I have to admit that I constantly thought that generalist path is more attractive, specially for non-tech companies, but I might need to change the approach after reading this.
As an SF resident, its incredibly painful to watch the policy based destruction of such a great city (and state).
I suppose most garages still have a hoist in the ceiling for lifting out engines. Just hoist up the mechanic with that and lower him into the engine bay.
Livv Health | Machine Learning Engineer | REMOTE (~CET timezone) | Full-time

We're building a global AI-driven health record. The premise is straightforward: the future of healthcare depends on continuous, data-informed care, with patient-owned health records at its core. It's a significant shift, aiming to empower individuals over their health data.

We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join us. This is a fully remote role, ideally within the CET timezone. You'll be developing our health record analysis and preventative health models. Your work will directly contribute to how we process, explore, and visualize data, with the larger goal of redefining patient care.

We think you'll need experience with LLMs, building models, and data processing pipeline.

Half our team is in Oslo, the rest are across Europe.
If you're interested in a role that combines technical challenge with a clear societal benefit, I'd like to hear from you. You can contact me at sverre at livv.health.
The first part is free, but then you have to pay to be able to read the full thing.
It would be interesting to see any actual use cases for this. Is it used somewhere? It seems to be related to smart contracts somehow, is it costly to run an agent?
Check out what the folks at https://docs.epsio.io/ built. I'm not aware of any other projects doing this, but I think it's a great idea.
Definitely not. Many anime release groups are early adopters of new video coding standards. It was the first popular media that saw heavy use of AVC back in probably 2006 or so, then HEVC (roughly in 2014 or thereabouts), then AV1 (since ~2021), and sometimes even VVC, although that's currently being held back by a lack of support in mainline ffmpeg.

It was also the first to start using 10 bit color profiles.

Some release groups are particularly insistent on producing high quality releases and use FLAC for audio (even if the source tracks were in lossy format), and very high bitrate video.
I wasn't aware of them, most likely same path as Oberon microsystems which ended up creating Component Pascal, I was quite fond of, unfortunely didn't survive against Java and .NET.

Nowadays Oberon microsystems business has nothing to do with Oberon.
That is simply emphasising your skills to meet the customers requirements.

If the company used Amazon rather than Azure you would change your main message to show that.

Any company should also read the rest of your skills and showing say experience of other cloud solutions would be a nice to have but not a requirement.

Your CV will change for each application you make to emphasis the correct things.
I've tried to make a thinner splice on a four-wire cable, by staggering the joints. But I found it was too difficult to cut, strip, pre-load heat shrink, twist wires, and solder without melting the adjacent heat shrink. I think it's doable if you really need it, but I was just experimenting, so I gave up on it.
I hope the victims are going to hire John Barylick for their lawsuits against Philips.

Barylick knows his way around cheap PU foam that emits toxic particles in lethal doses. He helped the victims of the 2003 Station Nightclub fire, where 100 people died, mainly due to a toxic combination of PU and PE foam that was used for soundproofing. [1]

Watch his talk [2] if you feel you can stomach the horrendous details. It includes an excerpt from a bootleg digital sound recording made during the disaster. (The digital tape was later found amidst the ashes, next to the body of one of the victims, and fully restored.)

My understanding also is that you can get long QT from certain drugs, like the early (but still highly effective) antidepressant imipramine.

I don’t know if it’s a hazard to everyone or if someone who has a propensity to long QT is particularly susceptible to those drugs
i sleep similarly to the OP (2200-0500). i wouldn't say it's non-existent. instead, i'm much more selective over what i do at night.

the calculus now is: "is this thing that ends super late worth being tired as shit the next day? i'm going to wake up at 0500 regardless."

a date night with my wife or close friends that goes deep into the night? sure!

a random night where folks just want to drink? unlikely, unless i _really_ want to hang with those people. (this means i dip early for work events now. this is okay, since most of the people i work with have kids and need to bail earlier to take care of them.)

that said, i "can" be more selective now because i spent many years doing the latter. i know how it goes, and i've drank enough to know that i'm not missing anything.

i used to be a super hardcore night owl (0200-0900). transforming into an early bird was very hard but extremely worth it. between this and giving up caffeine, my productivity shot up through the roof and my mood in the morning is much more stable.

also, waking up early is a great way to make friends with others that wake up early!
