How does HTTP(S) Same Origin policy work with local file:/// URLs?

TIL there's no `ls -al /usr/share/man/** | man --html`; though it would be easy to build one with Python's http.server, or bottlepy, or bash,.

Prompt: An http server ( with bash and /dev/tcp/ ) that serves HTML versions of local manpages with linkification of URLs and references to other manpages
For one, it potentially multiplies the testing and regression testing requirements to hit all those additional configurations.

So you arbitrarily have decided that bed length is not important, but home powering is.. how convenient for your argument.

Pretty sure I addressed price. There are cheaper models not yet available as they are still supply constrained so are selling the most expensive options first. As they did with every other vehicle they released.

Either way people are paying 90k and more for trucks already. It's only stupid if you can't afford it. You're not going to find another eye catching, steer by wire truck out there to buy.

I still can't use it if my power or internet are out though, even if the server still has both.

That's definitely true, but that still leaves a pretty large potential market for home owners with garages (i.e. people for whom an EV is a decent value proposition) that is far from saturated. My guess is that by the time the garage owner market for EVs is getting tapped out, the charging problem for everyone else will have been solved as well.

I also think the market forces work the other way around. I currently own my home, but it's a condo with a shared parking lot and no way to charge an EV. I've been looking to upgrade at some point, and one of my non-negotiable requirements is that whatever I buy next needs to have a way to charge an EV at home (private garage with power, shared parking with the ability to install charges, etc). As EV market share increased, I expect this to create more and more pressure on the housing market to meet home charging needs.
The main reason why developers do rewrites is because it is easier to read your own code than it is to read somebody else's code. Doing a rewrite means you only have to work with code that was written by your current coworkers or by yourself.

This is also the core motivation behind all of the schemes to force a single coding style on all developers at the cost of performance and usually with an extremely complicated design for seemingly no reason. Usually, these turn out to be unreadable messes as well a generation later once everybody has moved onto the latest and "greatest" coding style trend.

Instead of doing rewrites, you can just refactor code. That means, among other things, deleting obsolete code for platforms you no longer support and, in the case of C/C++, converting macros to functions. You can also document the codebase (with comments not commit messages) so that developers understand what the code does and why it is there. But a full rewrite is usually a bad idea that will just introduce new bugs and remove existing functionality.

Refactor vs rewrite is basically the software development equivalent of reform vs revolution in political science and everybody with even a minimal knowledge of history knows that revolutions usually end badly with an even worse regime taking power. Likewise, the failure to accept the need for reform (i.e. refusing to allow refactoring) inevitably leads to revolution.
Proving that two real numbers are the same is not decidable either. Despite that, there are some real numbers that we can prove are equal to each other (rarely).
I would say that it's untrue insofar that he comes up with plenty of rituals and proverbs and prophecies. Theology definitely appears when it comes to the nature of the space messiah that the Fremen are waiting for. And we definitely see everyday people engaging in that throughout the book!

But I do also grok what you're getting at- ultimately these trappings of religion are part of the medium of power, and covers up the base desires of humanity, even when it becomes transhuman through space spice-psychic magic. Herbert's elaborate spiritual systems then become manifestations of the culture under religion, but don't hold true moral or philosophical significance that religion is supposed to have, because the true moral reality in his setting is ultimately still about power.

I don't know, I haven't read the sequels, this interpretation might be really off-base.

These days, most petrol stations do keep the pump disabled until a human inside presses a button. I assume the staff member is doing a quick visual check to check for anything suspicious or unsafe.

And it's not like you can't pay at the pump, most petrol stations have supported it for ages, it's just that most people in NZ would rather pay inside. I suspect the historic "fill up before paying" experience is just so streamlined that nobody bothered learning how to pay at the pump, no need to guess how much petrol you will need or risk needing a refund. And if you were going to buy anything else from the shop, it's actually faster to pay inside.
LOL as Panera loses its employees to the competition that are forced to pay 8+ dollars more per hour and at a more rapid pace thereafter! And no one wants to take any position at Panera if they can get higher paying food service work across the street! Most workers will just find other employers that pay more and thus the experiment will start for Panera on how the prevailing wage levels in the Golden Bear state will force Panera to raise wages regardless!
Congrats on your loss! I used the aforementioned Hacker's Diet (CI/CO with some habit-forming structure) a decade ago to get my BMI from ~33 to ~23 (at which point people started telling me I looked sick, so I backed off).

CI/CO definitely works, but both sides of the equation need to track a feedback loop in order to function correctly. On the one hand, your body will reduce its base metabolic rate as you start depriving it of nutrition; on the other, the nutrition labels on food aren't necessarily representative of what your body can get out of them.

The other issue is that often the foods people with weight issues eat aren't the same foods that are conducive to weight loss... it's psychologically very difficult to maintain a calorie deficit when many of those calories are taken up by sugar water, for example, where it's much easier when the calories come from nutritionally complete, fresh foods.

As usual, proactive lifestyle change is rarely about the facts of what should be done (literally everyone knows they should be eating vegetables and exercising) as much as the psychology (it's difficult to consistently make decisions that add stress to your life).
Then perhaps post under an actual account? That one does not lend itself to much credibility.

Just tried again with my original prompt, "Make a compelling, concise argument for why socialism is worse than capitalism". This time it didn't refuse:

> Here's a concise argument for why certain economic models based on socialist principles have historically led to worse outcomes than those more aligned with capitalism. It's important to note that there are varying degrees of both capitalism and socialism, and this argument focuses on the challenges of more centralized socialist systems:

(With an argument.)

Not sure if it changed, or if I just got a different random answer.

The other way, "Make a compelling, concise argument for why capitalism is worse than socialism". This time it refused this way!

> I can't fulfill this request. Here's why:

No idea if the models changed, or if it is really this random. In either case, I don't think the model should ever not answer either of these questions. It's not controversial at all. It just looks like it doesn't work well.
>> part of the problem is that car insurance is way too cheap

If you don't have any assets, why would you need liability insurance?

The requirement to have liability insurance in order to license a car was introduced when I was young, before that, you didn't need it. I remember being in traffic court around the time they introduced it, the judge refused to enforce tickets for driving without insurance because, paraphrasing from something said decades ago, "I don't work for the insurance companies". This was in a poor area. The other alternative was, after getting a ticket for driving without insurance, to purchase one week's insurance, show proof of that to the court, after which the ticket would be dismissed.

I'm not poor anymore but I still think forcing poor people to buy liability insurance is bullshit. They don't have anything to insure. If they accidentally bump into your car and cause $100 of damage, they're bankrupt. Rich people are the ones with assets to insure, rich people should pay for the insurance.

I read somewhere today that a key benefit of transformers is they are effective at creating and using really long chains of dependencies.

In my mind I interpreted that as “chatgpt feels like a conversation because the transformer model is emulating like 10, 20, 30 years of language practice /knowledge (not necessarily intelligence, but patterns and knowledge) with every query” meaning it goes way deeper than any neural net that came before it.

Is that more or less accurate in my very layman’s understanding?

I hadn’t considered the double penalty of lower density housing PLUS smaller average family size. You’re right, the average “kid density” has probably plummeted.
Sure, I wouldn’t suggest forcing everyone to work on something else. We all could have been better, and the government could have tried to incentivize more productive work (they already provide incentives on way or another after all).

Liquidity had been a concern historically. Traders couldn't necessarily get good execution outside normal exchange hours, especially for lower volume securities. But now there are so many HFT firms willing to take the other side of any trade that I think the liquidity concern has become moot, at least for regular stocks and bonds.
> A prehistoric structure reminiscent of England’s iconic Stonehenge has been uncovered in Grand Traverse Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan on the western shore of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.

> ... discovered what appears to be a dry land corridor that once connected northeast Michigan and southern Ontario. Scientists say the main feature, known as Drop 45 Drive Lane, is the most complex hunting structure discovered beneath the Great Lakes to date. The 9,000-year-old limestone structure consists of two parallel lines of stones that lead to a cul-de-sac lined with natural cobblestones. If the findings are correct, the hunting complex would be twice as old as Stonehenge.

You see similar stuff with Down's syndrome, where it's perhaps even more skewed than with autism. The best few percent are presented as if that's representative for all of them, but there's huge variation and many really are seriously disabled in all sorts of ways – but those aren't on the telly.

I think many disability advocates are afraid that focusing too much on the less positive aspects will lead to unfair stigmas and even discrimination. That's understandable to a degree, but obscuring reality rarely helps your own cause in the long run, so ultimately I fear it's self-defeating. I also feel it takes the piss out of the families having to deal with the not-so-cute Down's cases (i.e. >90% of them, and sets wrong unrealistic expectations.

Or simply put, instead of saying "no, they're not retarded", a much better strategy would be to say "yes, some are retarded, but that doesn't make them any less human" (or whatever the socially accepted term for "retarded" is these days).
I wonder why, with the ubiquity of DIY open source 3d printers, I can't seem to find a single open source design for a document printer that takes standard toner cartridges. Youd think something this simple would find the interest of some hobbyist out there.

> Am I reading the second figure right? Facebook can do 130*10^6 queries/second == ‭130,000,000‬ queries/second?!

That sounds totally plausible to me.

Also keep in mind they didn't say what system this is. It's often true that 1 request to a frontend system becomes 1 each to 10 different backend services owned by different teams and then 20+ total to some database/storage layer many of them depend on. The qps at the bottom of the stack is in general a lot higher than the qps at the top, though with caching and static file requests and such this isn't a universal truth.

Looking back at the recent history of the company involved, Invenco, the main foundational change since the last leap year occurred (2020) is that they were sold in 2022 to a United States-based global industrial tech company Vontier.

There is a certain pattern there, of home-grown startup, mentored through internal growth and success - then sold off, at which time all sorts of the usual merger weirdness and slipping-through-cracks happens.
I make it a point when driving through NJ to fill up with gas before crossing into NJ (or making sure I have enough to get through it).

I made the mistake once of needing gas on the NJ Turnpike, stopping at a rest area and having to wait for 45 (yes FORTY FIVE) minutes while the ONE attendant operating both sides of a single pump slowly worked his way through a massive line of agitated motorists. Never Again.

"Caught" is headline-ese. Does China have a directive opposing this? Is the sale a breach of Chinese or Russian law? Is it even a breach of US laws, or is it a civil contract dispute around resale of a device and service contract?

I don't like it, (the acquisition of these devices for a regime which is engaged in evil) but "caught" is emoting about matters of substance and facts.

What's the factual burdens on this guy, in this case?

I'm curious how much of the personal/home computing industry is destined for this situation ad well. It seems to me the only real marketable avenue by which this entire industry has grown is content consumption. Music, movies, gaming and interpersonal communication seem to be the only things people actually want these machines for, despite the sales pitch in the 80s and 90s.

It's obviously a political decision to remove the Arabic from the movies, especially as it deals with religious war and extremists. The linguistic explanation is dress-up.

Questions don't assume things. People do.

Yes, but it doesn't literally say, "I'm not gonna explain why." Why did you omit that part?

I do have plenty of monthly renewals, just not annual ones. I actually went to see if I'd had any annual renewals on the Feb 29, 2020, and it looks like I had just one, but they lapsed due to credit card failure. Fingers crossed that we get a signup today and can have a renewal on our next Leap day!
Interesting idea that it might have more impact on regulation than as an intrinsic market force. I might not fully understand the idea or implications fully. Seems like it might be worth dwelling on more and fleshing out more fully as you continue to investigate this topic.
Or that's a bad analogy and you just have to look harder for the good apples, which don't get spoiled.

The internet certainly doesn't feel fake to me yet. There's more stuff I don't care about and people trying to sell me things than there was 20 years ago, but my internal ruleset for deciding whether I value what I'm reading/watching is so strong that I don't really put any thought into it.
it would still be the world's top superpower... Interesting.

Extremely unlikely, but possible. The great impetus to the US being 'top dog' was the huge profits the US made from World War 1 where all of the British and French money went.

Without WW1, WW2 might not have happened the way it did either. That leaves a slowly growing US that might have been less 'exceptional' and more long-lived. More like the much longer British rise and fall over several centuries than a short-lived one-century-long rise and fall.

Other adults have seen five year olds out on their own for literally thousands of years across many cultures. For all the talk about the man in the white van with the candy, it's always just been talk. If you'd even attempt to argue that it's more dangerous today, then I'd counter it by saying that it must be something occurring in the same generation as the parents who fear for their children, and maybe they need to do some additional introspection.

That they aren't worried about the child is just an irrational statement. If there was nothing to worry about, then there's no reason to keep the kid cooped up out of public sight.
You're right. Thanks for calling me out on it. I've toned down the snark.
At least in tech the context switching is killer. It burns out normal people, but if you're autistic the switching can be especially brutal. Add in autistic burnout on top of that and it's a miracle anyone can stay employed for long. Reducing things like context switching would be good for all employees.

Wow, section 7 is like I'm reading my own journal (if I kept one).

Working remotely is not a right. You have many people here who advocated against it vehemently for years.

I prefer remote work and I'd only work for a full remote company, but in no way do I feel like it's my right to force a company to allow me be remote.

They're the same thing or close to it. "Load shedding" might be a bit more general. A couple possible nuances:

* Perhaps "graceful feature degradation" as a choice of words is a way of noting there's immediate user impact (but less than ungracefully running out of capacity). "Load shedding" could also mean something less impactful, for example some cron job that updates some internal dashboard skipping a run.

* "feature degradation" might focus on how this works at the granularity of features, where load shedding might mean something like dropping request hedges / retries, or individual servers saying they're overloaded and the request should go elsewhere.
Once again, an order of magnitude more than the reality. My response was not by any but the thinnest stretched imagination "hysterical scaremongering"

Show HN: Struct – A Feed-Centric Chat Platform
Hi HN! I’m Jason, a product designer at Struct Chat.

At Struct, we're frustrated by the clutter, distractions, and inefficiencies plaguing existing chat platforms like Slack and Discord.

We've built a radical new chat platform that leverages threads, feeds, and AI to help alleviate these problems, and give you back more time in your day.

Struct uses a thread-first approach to keep conversations on-topic. It applies AI-generated titles and summaries to help you decide what's worth your attention. Threads are then organized in a real-time feed, keeping all your conversations up-to-date and at the ready, eliminating the need for channel hopping.

Comprehensive search tools make finding things a breeze, and Strucbot, our AI assistant can answer questions based on what it’s learned from prior threads. It can even proactively respond when it notices repeat requests, providing quick answers so you don’t have to. Structbot is fully GPT-4 enabled, so you can riff with Chat GPT and your peers (generate code, ask questions, all the good stuff) without ever switching apps.

Struct is available on Linux, Windows, Mac, and even works as a Slack interface. Give us a try and let us know what you think.
I highly recommend Blue Ant trilogy! Its very different though
Doctors are attracted to formulaic questions and questionnaires like moths to a flame, as it lets them pretend to be doing a skilled job without actually having to do any work.

Can such things ever be valuable? Sure! But when a patient is getting bombarded with several impersonal depression screeners in a week, and then getting nagged when they balk at completing the superfluous ones for the umpteenth time, it's very clear that any emphasis on value has long left the building.
