There are MANY NAS/storage solutions based on Linux and FreeNAS/TrueNAS CORE was the one I trusted because I knew that ZFS in FreeBSD was always a first class citizen - it was well integrated - along with ZFS Boot Environment support using beadm(8) or bectl(8) tool.

This is the solution I trust to keep my data safe - ZFS on FreeBSD - and it never disappointed me for almost two decades.

On the other hand - I do not have the same level of trust for ZFS on Linux - no to even mention BTRFS or other filesystems.

In the past I always recommended FreeNAS/TrueNAS CORE to my professional colleagues, family and friends as 'THE' solution for safe data storage along with other interesting features such as Bhyve VMs.

Now ... after seeing how iXsystems behaves - killing another of their 'products' based on FreeBSD (In the past they killed PC-BSD/TrueOS/Project Trident/... and maybe something else I do not remember now) I can not recommend any of their solutions as its just not 'stable' - they just lost my trust with these actions.

After TrueNAS CORE is gone and only Linux based TrueNAS SCALE exists - its just another NAS/storage solution based on Linux - nothing more - nothing less - no additional value added.

Hope that helps.

This is a great point. If you have many instances of a web component and those components have a lot of styles, you're better off hoisting your styles into the document head and styling those components using the css `::part()` pseudoselector.
I didn’t do well on my SATs back in the 90s. I’m not a good standardized test taker and I was working at a dialup internet provider while in high school, probably 30 hours a week. It left next to no time for studying for the SATs. As a result I got pretty bad scores because I was perpetually exhausted.

Still, I ended up getting a SWE job at Google in 2004 and working my way up to L8.

I think standardized tests are fundamentally bullish!t because they test more your ability to have time to prepare and study and think mechanically under artificial time constraints. None of which are associated with success in college. Some jobs, say a trauma surgeon, need to evaluate for the time constraint decision making, but a software engineer does not.

I also have a fear of having my private key on my phone, but it's a nebulous kind of paranoid fear. I don't know if there's actually any good reason to have this paranoia or what the best practice is. I suppose having the same key in fewer places inherently increases security, but there has to be a line somewhere... Not accessing email on my phone would be a giant productivity killer.
Big deal as in value, yes indeed.

Big deal as in expensive? Grid as a whole, not the wire itself, that's the point.

I'm seeing headlines about the USA needing to spend ten times that to modernise their grid. It isn't unreasonable to suspect the USA's grid modernisation could, for a very small increase in material cost, turn it into part of something much grander.

Big deal as in a political PitA at every level? Yup.
>not uploading to a random server op has 0 control over.

OP has full control over uploading their key, activating their key, and deactivating their key on the "random server".

This is where simply multiplying the units through can be misleading as it hides semantics. The distance/area of m in the watt is not necessarily the same as the distance of the m in the length of conductor.

But an interpretation would be volume which seems intuitive, double the length or area of a cylinder and you double its volume.

The short answer? Weekly meetings with my advisor! Long answer: I also had 2 years of classes but I started working on my research immediately, while taking classes. By the time I finished all my classes and became a candidate I had one paper already published and another one accepted, so I was able to get a 3rd paper out and defend by the end of the 3rd year.
Could we get an expert to weigh in on the state of OpenCL. It seems like AMD and Intel are shifting away from OpenCL other GPGPU languages such as ROCm and DPC++.
Huh, very interesting- and counterintuitive that distance matters. If anyone here knows why I’d love to learn more!!

EDIT: maybe not so counterintuitive after all: if you scale everything up, you get a higher fidelity sensor and more signal to noise. Same reason telescopes want to be big: to collect more light especially from dim signals. Distance of the occulter then reduces perspective distortion that would eclipse the inner parts of the sensor more than the outer ones. Just my speculation though.

Where to send photos?
What an absolutely amazing idea, great work!

Your sensor data seems to have quite large "dead zones" - those should be trivially fixable by reducing the inter-sensor distance, right?

Would it be useful to sense the direction of the bend? I reckon this might be possible by dividing the tube like a Mercedes logo, and having three sets of the sensor in one outer tube.

Is there a way to sense multiple bends? With the current setup that'd result in invalid readings as you're essentially OR-ing the value. Are there any good solutions for this?
SO has basically been obsoleted by LLMs at this point. Why even visit the site? They are clearly not interested in improving the UX for either questioners or responders, or the 'Closed as duplicate of a question that somebody answered poorly 8 years ago' policy would have been changed or scrapped long ago.

One obvious question, of course, is how the LLMs are going to keep themselves up to date. It's not as if Stack Overflow is doing that, given the points raised by the parent. It seems that we're headed for stasis unless a new developer Q&A paradigm emerges.

They could, and if you ask me, they should. They gum up threads and often start meta discussions about exactly how low-value they are. Many are even explicitly listed in the guidelines - snark, tropes and memes, 'broke the back button', shallow putdowns, etc. Righteously flaggable, one and all.
tldr: "The air becomes cleaner in areas where the economy slumps. The researchers estimate that this cleaner air accounts for more than one-third of the mortality reduction."

Modern Best Practices for Testing in Java (2022)
That's honestly kinda table stakes for anyone attempting to spin up a new email provider. Being slightly better than the incumbent doesn't make it attractive enough to switch for most people.
This is really cool! Appreciate sharing this work and the explanation.

You mentioned that massaging the data into shape as one of the problems, which I think is possibly one of the best applications of LLMs in my opinion. Creating a pipeline of a data feed (still hard) into an LLM which outputs JSON with the fields of interest would be amazing.
Caching is often enough (2003)
One of the major motivations for UUIDs is that you can generate them in a decentralized fashion, without central registration, with a very high degree of confidence that they will not be repeated, a very important feature in distributed systems where you don’t want to rely on a either a central point of failure or the need for distributed consensus just to generate an ID for data elements.

> The decision is understandable. There is no new Alpha or Itanium hardware and never will be. VSI is a business, and not a big one; it needs to make money. While it was maintaining v8, it continued offering hobbyist licenses for it, but now, if OpenVMS has a future, it's v9

I can understand dropping Alpha, but VSI is supporting 8.X on newer Itanium chips until at least 2028 for commercial customers. How hard is it to renew hobbyist licenses?

So, the bottom line is that the simple kWh/day/m2 * panel efficiency * m2 of panels should be within the theoretical ballpark of generation, but the real world is a harsh mistress and will undercut you.

On that calculator resource, they provide a monthly and hourly spreadsheet, but even with the more detailed numbers, I was still failing to corroborate their presumably much more sophisticated modelling which accounts for other losses.

Thanks. Just spit balling numbers and trying to see what things look like.
"Historically it wasn't possible to make lowercase `readme` files" doesn't explain why, after transitioning to systems which allowed separate case in file names, `README` files remained uppercase while most other text files now have lowercase names.
Incidentally, the answer "So it appears first when sorted by ASCII (where capital letters appear before small letters)" is insufficient - not only would "Readme" be sorted pretty close to "README", but LICENSE, COPYING, INSTALL, BUGS, CONTRIBUTING, AUTHORS, NEWS would all end up even before it.

> What can I honestly do, go protest about it somewhere and lose my job because I'm not at work?

What you can do is when these topics are brought up in "polite company", don't take the non-confrontationalist side that has won over the majority of the public. I've got a few great quotes by other HN users I've collected over time on this topic:

"The only actions the public supports are those working within the system. There is no amount of (theoretical or not) fuck-up that warrants putting the fear of god into the heart of someone.

Someone could very well be an existential threat and the most extreme action people find morally acceptable is writing some mildly mannered stuff on a cardboard... but only when and where the government approves"

"Meanwhile, if you actually riot, or do anything destructive, you get slapped with a criminal conviction for the rest of your life. And still probably achieve nothing in the long run. Not to mention ever increasing removal of liberty by bills exactly like this and the current strike rhetoric being pushed."

Openly supporting this idea is something any of us can do. Many of us already agree, but are afraid of admitting so out of fear of being ostracized.
> It's not. It's nowhere close. "Capitalism" (which is a weasel word to begin with), has produced far more innovation than any other economic system.

This is like saying Earth has produced far more life than any other planet: where's the competition? We don't have a non-capitalist control society to test against ever since Colonialism exported Capitalism to every corner of the globe.

> Strawman argument - very few people believe or claim that "capitalism" directly incentivizes innovation - the "side effect" of innovation happening as a result of chasing profits is literally how "capitalism" is designed to work - and does so extremely effectively. Unless you've been living under a rock the past century, it's not hard to see the incredible technological advances that have happened purely as a result of "capitalism". The "small intersection of the Venn diagram", while small in relative terms (and there's nothing wrong with that), is a large absolute amount.

This is a whole lot of words that says precious little. Also, you'd be hard pressed to find any technological advancements especially that don't have their roots in defense projects, grant money, other such institutions. Tons of the massive tech companies we have today that feel older than time itself were products of university and government grants, notable in that they didn't have to make money. Huge innovations like GPS that basically any product can use for damn near free started life as ways for the military to track deployed assets. Flat panel LCD screens, lithium batteries, like I said, it's hard to find a product so ubiquitous now on this level that ISN'T in some way funded by the Government.

The corporations role in turn is to take those expensive new technologies and make them cheap, and in THAT regard, they are very good at their jobs. But it doesn't translate well to every product.

> It's also the case that it's completely infeasible to directly incentivize innovation - the best that you can do is attach it to some other measurement - which is exactly what "capitalism" does.

Horseshit. The entire open source community disagrees with you. Massive volunteer organizations like the internet archive disagree with you. Food pantries disagree with you. Humans have worked for one another for things besides money since long before money existed, and that very much includes innovation. If innovation required financial benefit, we'd have never left our caves.

> Patents have become rent-seeking because of corrupt regulators - corrupt regulators that anti-capitalists would happily put into greater positions of power and give more power to meaningfully decrease the quality of human life.

What do you mean by "keep people honest", and how does remote work achieve it?
That’s the whole point. The site owner doesn’t want their information included in ChatGPT—they want you going to their website to view it instead.

It’s functioning exactly as designed.
Now I'm really curious how blind people experience memes. Like if you read "cat at table meme" is it funny in it's own way?
Just that the site owner, most likely, did this kind of on purpose. It's fairly unlikely that he's concerned about his "data" being used because it's junk data.
This is true: i.e. they use rare metals not rare earth metals.

On HN, I hope we can share a correction like that respectfully: after all, they gave good info, except for a one-word slip of the tongue.

The critique seems to extend beyond correcting that error, becoming confrontational, questioning motivation and honesty with phrases like "supposedly worked in." and the long bit defending lifespan and enviromental impact against people who "don't seem to have a problem with oil drilling, fracking, coal strip mining, etc" - they didn't even touch on that subject.
