No we’re talking about rechargeable batteries here… disposable lithium are too expensive and wasteful for frequently used high drain devices. I love them for emergency equipment like spot trackers and emergency strobe lights

I think it’s more about mandates from a government vs looking out for each other.

The original fear of mandating seatbelts was it becoming a slippery slope, and the government continuing to mandate other aspects of citizens lives.

A similar fear happened when drunk driving was outlawed, but obviously its implications in harming others was a good justification for it.

With seatbelts, it’s less harm on others if I don’t wear it, more so a strain on society as a whole (first responders, more serious medical attention)

In general though I agree that governments shouldn’t be mandating what individuals can do to themselves. The argument lies in how much those actions effect others in a tertiary sense (doing drugs only effects me, but if I go into a coma that’s a strain on society and a blurry line. If become violent because of those drugs, it’s more concrete)

Meanwhile alcohol is legal, and is involved in more murders and domestic violence than any other substance.

You have to give it permissions to interface with the device, but also it sounds like a site wouldn't be able to so much "brick" it but rather miscalibrate it since it's not permanent. I assume it's just setting some offset values specific to the controller based on the stick's center point and whatnot. If a malicious site were to do that, you could just come back to this site and fix it.
Totally agree with the sentiment and the project linked at the bottom of the article is pretty neat. It does feel a bit hopeless to rely on robots.txt to deter AI bots but I guess it's better than nothing. Appreciate the effort.
Automattic also acquired Pocket Casts, so they don't only own things that fit into the WP ecosystem.
Who is the target audience for this? Software developers are obviously a good fit, but after spending all day on puzzles, I might not be interested in doing it read a novel, especially one that appears to be about an angsty teenager. (But it is also an interesting idea that makes me curious.) People like my mother, who likes word games and sudoku, also seem like a good audience, but she has no programming background and is probably not excited by the prospect of: choose a suitable programming language + figure out how to install it + editor? + compiling/running + learning the API + who knows what else (from her perspective). However if you could narrow it down to putting together a bunch of primitives (e.g. "swap letters", "swap words", "swap lines", etc.) that would help. This would be similar to text adventure games which give a list of verbs, possibly not exclusive, that you can use. Alternatively, if that gives too much away, having solved it, you could give a list of the functions that are necessary (e.g. if, for, anything in String, anything in Array).

Assuming that the purpose is the puzzle, not programming (unclear, since presumably your wife had to write a program to generate the puzzle text), I would recommend shipping a script with a framework that defines a bunch of solve01, solve02, etc. functions that it calls when you run the script. This framework would load the text, call pass the text to solve01, compute the checksum and if it passes, call solve02 with the result, etc. (And if it fails, stop and report that problem 1 has not been correctly solved yet.) You probably want to provide a much simpler, solved tutorial that introduces loops, arrays, newlines, etc.

This seems like it might be a good way to introduce kids to programming, especially with a framework that holds their hands for things like reading the file for the source text, but which is examinable to see how it works (especially with liberal commenting). You could also provide an inverse, generating framework so that they could write their own puzzles.

I would recommend some usability improvements:

- ship the cyphertext as its own file; this makes it much more reliable for the user to correctly extract the text (because they don't have to). At least give a checksum for the source text.

- non-programmers will need to know that the text must be treated as list of characters, including space, newline, punctuation, etc. (At least, I assume that is required)

- a tutorial program that solves the original boustrophedon-line diary. Personally I think that Python is a better language for a complete beginner than Ruby; it is about as close to running pseudocode as you can get.
Why would an E-Rickshaw have a higher center of gravity. EVs typically have a lower center of gravity than ICEVs as the battery usually sits lower in the chassis. Did the makers do something odd like mount the battery higher?
Besides, if you're interviewing senior engineers their CVs/portfolios probably speak to their ability to implement, and what you're really after is their ability to reason. Here the key elements of the problem are: the need to scale horizontally and the need to cost out the result -- everything about Golang and Terraform is just implementation details.

TFA seems much more interested in fetch-a-rock as a filter than the specific problem as a way to gauge how the applicant thinks.
Yep.

Narendra Modi has been campaigning on radically reforming the LAA since he became Prime Minister in 2014, but he never got the supermajority needed to safely pass it.

The current 2024 election is basically being fought over this Land Reform Law [0].

The UCC, Ram Mandir, etc stuff is all a distraction from interests fighting for and against this law.

It's a good reform, but Modi isn't fighting for it out of altruism. Easier land acquisition makes it easier to manufacture mass housing under the PMAY-U program, which would basically make Singaporean style HDBs for Indians. Once that is in place, the BJP will win elections for the next 20 years, because they've provided modern housing (and the ability to get rich from graft on the way).

In my testing I was better off running the image through AWS Textract then taking the output and feeding it to OpenAI. It was also much cheaper. Of course if all you are looking for is extraction then maybe you don't need OpenAI at all. I used it to clean up the OCR'd data and reformat it.

A better punchline: "Fool! That's how we ended up with four editors in the first place!"
I think this kind of tricks definitely work the first time. But my gut feeling is that if you do it several times the effect decreases as the mental image of throwing the thing in the bin becomes more familiar.
Divided by four, right, so $12k? I would think the medical, rehab, lost wages/productivity, and disability costs of an average table saw hand injury would easily exceed $12k.
The standard, lol.

Go watch any live broadcast of a band past 20 years. You'll notice they use wired, not wireless. Why would they do that? Because the latency is lower, the sound quality is higher, and the bandwidth is higher.

Don't use wireless unless you absolutely need to. And you probably do not.

That being said, I like wireless for a simple reason. No wire near the head is very practical with regards to movement, and I used to destroy 3.5 mm headset wires multiple times a year when I was at school. But those days are long gone.

How do they solve that in live performances (also in talkshows)? They use mics there, and they use some tape or way to attach the mic to clothes.
Let me put it this way: I once “red-teamed” the constitution, and walked away with the conclusion health justifications were the biggest vulnerability point. Imagining a constitutional APT, I’m very wary of justifications that rely on it…
Show HN: I made an AI powered technical writer
Hey HN! We've built an AI powered technical writer that allows you to automate creating comprehensive, MDX-formatted documentation with just a few clicks.

How It Works:

- Upload screenshots: Start by uploading screenshots of your product.

- Describe features: Provide a brief description of the features you want documented.

- Generate documentation: Our AI will analyze your inputs and automagically generate detailed documentation in MDX format.

- Deploy instantly: With just one click, you can deploy your new documentation online.

Continuous Integration:

Automated updates: Integrate our npm package into your codebase to ensure your screenshots and corresponding documentation are automatically updated with every new release.

We built this tool because we understand that outdated or slow-to-update documentation can significantly delay feature releases. We're a small team passionate about improving developer workflows and efficiency.

Looking forward to your feedback and questions!

PS: Did anyone else catch the eclipse yesterday? Our AI did—and even tried to document it in MDX. Guess it's true that not even the sun can hide from a good update!

This was an extreme example that I found in this collection. Here's something more common (20 cm): https://images.wur.nl/digital/collection/coll13/id/576/rec/1

It varies, but yeah, they are surprisingly deep.
Everything is a balance and you have to decide how much risk you want to take. People hate it when we use money or resources to injury and life but that is reality. How many injuries are we going to prevent? How much does it cost in productivity?

In general I am against government regulation here unless it is really an issue. We spend a lot of time preventing injuries to some things and then not to the most important ones (like our eating habits).
Their C compiler is also paid, but you can have it for free if you maintain an open-source project (in C, I assume).
I meant specifically availability of a personal smart phone and social networks to young people leading to an increase in mental health issues, as thoroughly documented by Jonathan Haidt. I should have been more specific.

I had a similar experience having first heard monkey and bear on the radio, but the dj failed to name the track and artist.

Then some time later I heard Inflammatory Writ on an internet radio provider so was able to see the artist’s name.

In addition to immediately recognizing that distinct voice, I also recognized her beautifully dense poetry.

Nope, I've had plenty of unreliable wired in-ear headphones. When used like the wireless ones of today they lasted a couple of years at most before the cable inevitable breaks (usually near the 3.5mm connector) from always moving
Is there anything like this for postgres?
Do you review their submissions? Do you use the problem to probe the applicant's thinking? Your blog's focus on the details of the task make it sound like you're more interested in using the task as a filter than anything else, but surely there's more to it.
Isn't that... totally expected? After all, it's the system that told the modem/baseband to enter airplane mode in the first place. Of course it can also tell it to exit airplane mode.
With EVs, even if they are powered by 100% coal electricity, they still produce less CO2 and pollution than an ICEV.

Considering how dirty most gas-powered rickshaws have been, I have to assume that the electric versions are much much cleaner in this regard.
I’m a bit surprised there isn’t mention of big endian issues. Even if libraries nominally support it, I’d be willing to guess there’s a lot of bugs out there due to a lack of active use.
right, im not a maths guy but id go for the BigInteger way, or if speed was paramount id build a lookup table for the expected values of T.

That link in your question also points to the algo for sqrt(x), should be possible to optimize for 1-sqrt(1/2) but as i said im not into maths
When I said lithium-ion I was indeed referring to secondary (rechargeable) batteries. Apologies for not making that clear.

AA and AAA Nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries exist, but it doesn't seem anyone ever made a li-ion equivalent.
Back in 2012 I threw together something like this for managing UI dialogs in C#. For all the hate async/await gets about being an over optimization, it's good to see people find use for it as an ergonomic tool outside of concurrency
A lot of the information here are present in the journal of Jordan Mechner which I found was a very interesting dive into the making of Prince of Persia including doubts and difficulties anyone who tried to create things can probably relate to. Thats a very good read and a great gift to anyone who try to make things on his own : https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1468093657/ref=tmm_pap_swatch...

I absolutly recommend it. There is also a comics that tell his grand father, his father story and himself that tells a lot of what a war is and also tells a little bit of the making of PoP.

No it's not. Even if you're the best defensive driver in the world a seatbelt might still save you if someone plows into you while you're stopped at a red light.

I've had to replace my wired headphone cable 3 times in the last 5 years due to wear, unexpectedly each time. I still use them because my current AirPods don't last a full work day, but I'll probably switch to AirPods Max next refresh.

I suspect my particular penchant for wearing through cables isn't super common, but at least for me personally, I find wireless more reliable for that reason.
Can someone help elucidate why "It's a non-goal for Neco to provide a scalable multithreaded runtime, where the coroutine scheduler is shared among multiple cpu cores [...]" this library even makes sense then? When I use coroutines in Go it is invariably in order to make use of more CPU cores when extra performance needs to be extracted.
I'm still rocking an FP3, but the biggest issue is Android 13. It's great that they still provide these updates but 13 alsolutely blows on this device compared to 12. Everything is slow. I'd try Lineage OS but I have a feeling my banking app won't work, and tbh I'm done with all that messing around.

I'll likely upgrade once the EU finally forces all phone companies to release phones with user replaceable batteries, and someone produces a phone that isn't gigantic. There aren't any medium sized phones any more. Everything's half a foot long.
that only applies within similar vehicle classes. A big-assed SUV is big and heavy whether ICEV or EV. A small sedan or hatchback EV is much lighter than ICEV SUVs and trucks.
These are reconstruction of features / columns that don’t exist yet.
"If we're concerned about job site injuries then let's address the real problem, which is that a lot of people using these things do so as fast as humanly possible with little regard for set up, site safety, or body positioning"

Solving that sounds a lot harder to me than legislating that saws have safety features.

Human healthcare is pretty affordable when it's not absurdly misinsentivized and mismanaged.
When I do carry two computers, they're not going to both feature iCloud syncing. Multipoint is still the more seamless option for me, but I guess you could pass the point of utility if you own 3+ iDevices with nothing else to sync.
It was also one of the first games to make use of multicore CPUs, although it was far from ideal and ultimately you ran into a cap on one core's CPU usage regardless since one thread still had to do more than anything that could be deferred to others.
Good comment but,

>in the past decade, there have been 2 fatalities IIRC, which is way lower than the national average per pop

Is this controlled for age? And other obvious confounders like SES, race, etc?
That's a good point. I just meant that it is not "just" GTK to the extent that it would invalidate the claim that it is "a compelling alternative to GTK these days."
That makes a lot of sense until you realize those are no longer made and are not updated with security fixes, in many cases.

It makes very little sense to buy a network-connected device which can’t be updated. And if you say “put Linux on it” it could be argued that you don’t know what tools like phones are for.

Sure, but Automattic also bought Texts.com... this seems to be part of a bigger strategy on their part.

Even friends don't spend $150M on friends for no reason. Automattic is doing well, but they don't have $150M to drop (plus future salaries, hosting, etc) just to help someone save face.
I'm not sure the prices would go up that much. What would anyone buy that card for?

Yes, it has a decent memory bandwidth (~750 GB/s) and it runs CUDA. But it only has 16 GB and doesn't support tensor cores or low precision floats. It's in a weird place.
R = V^2 / P = (110V)^2 / 100W = ~120Ω
It's easy and cheap to get USB-C to headphone jack adaptors, so anyone who wants to use wired headphones can do so. (The Apple one is $9, and we know how they like to gouge on accessories.) I've also seen simultaneous headphone-and-charging variants for under $10.

Personally, I could never stand using wired headphones with my phone, so I wouldn't want to do it. But the option's there.

You are aware that “first responders” send you a bill after you use their services, right? And that’s in addition to taxes and levies that fund them in the first place. I don’t mind the seat belts of course, but let’s not pretend that all of that is free of charge to begin with. Besides, first responders will likely need to be there anyway in most situations where a seatbelt would save your life.
After getting past the lightning rod "orange man bad" and "laptop gate" preamble, I found that npr oped to be mostly spot on unfortunately. This from a life long npr listener who leans left.
I guess you miss the selling point(s) as you see the phone only as its final product and the direct benefits to you. That has never been the ambition. Here's why I bought Fairphones for my family:

* Fair supply chains. This was their original selling point and is still an incredible unique feature. They changed cobalt and copper supply chains and established tracing mechanisms that now other manufacturers can also use.

* Self-repairable. I switched two screens so far, probably not a huge cost difference to the neighbourhood dirty phone repair shop, but I feel better about it.

* Social enterprise, giving back to the community

* Nice to know my funds go mostly to a good cause and everyone in the supply and production chain is treated well (they even pay a premium to manufacturers so workers at the assembly line get paid a fair wage).

I am well aware it's not the best phone. It's rather clunky, camera used to be weak (got much better with the latest update), and I had some small issues. But overall a solid phone, I support a de kind of ecosystem that really improves things down the line and I don't need to feed Sony or Apple execs money.
Macs of this era shipped with a buggy version of GCC 4.x. Often need to compile with GCC 3.3 if you expect something to work.
The bonding between connector and PCB seems to fail a LOT in certain devices. I've been seeing a near 100% failure rate on the USB C connectors over a few years in some Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop generations.

I've not seen the same failure in TRS connectors in a long time now, but I think that's mainly because few people actually use them.
Show me the cost-benefit analysis that a lack of bubble wrap is causing a huge number of ER visits and amputations every year, and we'll talk.
It feels like Starcraft 2 was the last traditional RTS; I suspect part of that is because other developers think their game wouldn't have a chance without competitive multiplayer as tight as SC2's.

That said, there's still some RTS games in the indie space / on Steam, like Homeworld: Deserts of something. But that one was ultimately disappointing overall.
Haven't read the paper but it reminds me of a popular scene in a Bollywood movie where the leading lady tells her acquaintance to physically burn the picture of his ex and flush it down the toilet. To which the guy says it is silly but still does it on insistence from the lady. After the act, he says he actually felt better doing what felt silly at first!
