Yes, but the "electrician" can also be an individual homeowner.
I've done my own electrical work at times, including permitted and inspected work. One of my last projects was wiring a 50A 240A subpanel, on a dock, over saltwater. 105' of wire underground, appropriate GFCI's, etc. Not exactly a simple job, but all the requirements are clearly documented if you take the time to read through things. There is no reason a smart/competent person can't install an EV charger, or create an interface to the power delivery with appropriate components.
I'm also not worried for my job as a programmer. I do speak from my experience though that my workflow as completely changed in the past 12 months. I now writes a lot more technical specs than code, and I do most of my work outside of the IDE.

I think like any other tool: it's not a silver bullet. For some use cases it's good, for others - not so much.
> Ontario family doctor says new AI notetaking saved her job

Lemme rewrite this headline for a more interesting and relevant article that you might actually want to read:

"Doctor hails notepad and pen as essential diagnostic tools."
Good. But still doesn't stop the absolute fkwits doing 110mph around the m25 every day; how they get away with it I have no idea.
It does because on the server you can’t distinguish the IPs from different clients anymore. But indeed, you have other means of tracking.
There are also men with delusional thinking about women because of the bible. Lets ban that too.
This seems very similar to self driving cars.

At the beginning they will be worse than humans and cause deaths that humans would have prevented while at the same time probably saving lives where a human would make a mistake.

But not far down the road they'll become much better than humans even if they do occasionally make a mistake and cause a death that a human wouldn't' have they'll save far more lives due to them not making the mistakes that humans do.

> Also, much of the European world refers to a "powder room" as a toilet

OK, now I get it that I misunderstood the comment! I thought that "powder room" was supposed to be a word in Europe.

Toilet and its variants - of course.

Thanks!

BTW for French it will be the plural "toilettes", the singular form means "the action of washing yourself"
Common Lisp comes with absolutely best syntax customization tooling I know of.

Like if you want to integrate JSON or XML into the language syntax you can.

Rather ironic to use it as an example of inflexible syntax.

Here's an example which adds completely integrated JSON support in under 100 lines of code, using only standard language APIs: https://gist.github.com/chaitanyagupta/9324402

> Code is not art, it's instructions.

I'll slightly disagree here because code needs to be read by a computer and by your human teammates.

There are times when I'm frustrated because prettier is making a necessary but unintuitive choice and causing my code to become harder to read. But those are rare, and I would never trade them for the guarantee of readable code the other >99% of the time.
That depends a lot on your threat model. In many instances it will be better to share an IP with all the other VPN customers.

EDIT: Also, without this leak, Android API "VPNs" can actually distinguish traffic of individual apps, acting as a firewall that blocks untrusted apps from sending your data somewhere else. With a DNS leak, they can exfiltrate data through it.

It is possible to recover.. but you need to rest the joints which will mean no typing for some weeks at least. I’ve had RSI on my ankle and had to not use it for some weeks (walking with sticks). But it’s back to normal now and hasn’t been an issue for years
I've got one of those cheapo 16a chargers from amazon. It's been outside for 3 years running now and still works as well as it did when I installed it. I'm not 100% comfortable with using a nema 6-20 instead of hard-wiring the connection, but it was cheap and easy to get vs pulling some big new service.

I'm kinda puzzled about the system, though -- an EVSE is theoretically about as complex as a smart extension cable, but ... it stays warm even just sitting there not charging and gets to be 20 degrees F warmer than ambient when charging, which seems wrong for "just a relay"
No explanation of how it works or how to get started. Doesn't seem to do anything.

I don't understand why it has to be exclusive or comparative or even complimentary.

I do a lot of programming, some wood working (a little fine stuff but also timber framing), stone work, and (ornamental) gardening. I find all of these things very similar. Building, guiding things that I don't quite control towards an end I want. Open-ended and creative. I find all of them very relaxing.

Ah well, it's good he's not gardening!
Mirroring and copying unthinkingly is how we humans learn. If what we mirrored gives us the desired results we keep doing it. Questioning and understanding those actions comes lot later.

I have learned this from my toddler son who picked up some 2 3 word sentences from the cartoons that he watches. He ofcourse has no clue what those words mean, but he does know when to use them and what response he gets from them.

English isn't the language we speak at home but he picked up "wake up" when I am sleeping and try to wake me up, "careful" when doing something where he or one of us could fall. All by seeing and hearing things said repeatedly on similar actions in cartoons.
It is surprising it took this long. Microsoft Studios games are like this. At least it doesn’t involve another launcher.

At one time I was involved in the EA Origin effort, which had many strands but the huge one was essentially some identity fusion nightmare. It is the dream of every games marketer to have a single account that follows individuals around across platforms and devices. As the market competition gets worse and the pressure to extract meaningful profits goes up I would expect a lot more moves like this from everyone.
In general, the "N" versions of functions in the standard say they "maybe" or "might" modify arguments. SORT and NSORT should have been like this, but IIRC SORT was taken from Interlisp, where it was destructive.
Was globalization supposed to "align the values?" I'm not sure this is really true. The closest argument I've heard in this regard is that globalization will generally make people more capitalistic, and more liberal. (in the "small l" sense) I'm not sure that's any reason to think that this would make people adopt the same values.

I also have ZERO reason to think that to the degree that things are splintering, globalism has anything to do with it. I'd lay that blame on social media. It's social media and the internet which present a different reality for me than for my next-door neighbor, and social which feeds me the most interesting (ie, extreme) views on just about any topic I could hope to research.
I guess the safest setup is to have mobile data off on your phone and carry an OpenWRT hotspot to do the VPN bit upstream from the phone.
> But that's what will inevitably happen at some point, when they get to the point of only rarely making big dangerous mistakes.

So the same as doctors making occasional big dangerous mistakes that cause lives. Seems like it would be a win then as it takes some mental load off of doctors so they can focus on where they should, on the patients and not on note taking.
thanks for the feedback, i'm trying to better my frontend skill so i really appreciate this!
What other people do with their bodies is not a hot-button issue. You either accept it and are tolerant, or you don’t and you are intolerant.

So yes, being uncomfortable with others’ freedom of sexuality, etc. is by definition intolerant.

You can be a heterosexual Christian conservative married for life 3 children housewife while still being tolerant of those that are not.
I agree, but IP addresses haven't been used as the main source of tracking for some time.

Advertisers learned how to use much better data points a long time ago due to AOL proxies much like the Mobile proxies a significant amount of mobile providers use today.

> Depending on your threat model this might mean that you should avoid using Android altogether for anything sensitive, or employ other mitigations to prevent the leaks. We aim to partially mitigate these problems in our app, so make sure to keep the app up-to-date.

I don't think companies should give false hopes to people, and that is what is exactly happening here (e.g., "fixing a DNS leak will make you private and that's the only reason you're not!").
I reached this point after the small company that I work for had a terrible 2023 and I realized I hadn't been having fun or looking forward to going to work for probably years. Now I'm actively looking to get out of the industry. I haven't had an interesting problem to solve since I can remember, and all the other absurdities mentioned in this thread apply. I turned 40 in December, maybe that has something to do with it. Early midlife crisis or something.
Boeing lost $32B since 2019, no end in sight. Can it keep losing money?
As a person that used to be a “human scribe” but for emergency dept doctors. I would say the ER doctors shared the same experience as the one depicted in the news story. For a doctor that was nearing the age of retirement or had very poor keyboard proficiency. scribes were a godsend.

Doctors worried less about documentation and focused more on patient care. Of course they still wrote things like admission orders, prescriptions, and nurse orders. Scribes were often told to avoid doing these but sometimes the doctor was okay with it. I personally just told them to do it. Too much of a legal liability for both of parties.

But capturing all of the details of the history of present illness (HPI), patient medical history, review of systems, physical exam, procedures (if any) and medical decision making during patient visit can be a time consuming issue. Time increases with significantly more complex cases, especially one with more than one procedure.

Documenting it so that it can be billed appropriately is also crucial.

Prior to scribes, doctors would describe forgoing writing documentation all together at the end of the shift and writing it the next day or shift.

Obviously, this caused very poor documentation and opened up the doctor to legal issues (if they arise). Ambulance chasers can easily call out these inconsistent details between doctor notes, patient outcomes, and cross check with nursing notes.

Additionally, this caused cases to be billed incorrectly or “down coded” as well.

I don’t agree with allowing private companies unfettered/unregulated access to what is considered private medical information. But with appropriate controls on the data and who has access to it with full transparency, I think it can help in alleviating physical burn out.

>high levels of income equality

Oh yes, I'm sure all of the Indians crammed into the back of a caged ute on their way to building sites have income equality. Saw loads of stuff like that there.

Or the fact that being gay is still illegal, didn't stop me "breaking the law" the second day I was there.

I put Singapore into the same category as Dubai; it's all a facade and all can be conveniently ignored with a veil of money.

Over time, global values are becoming more aligned, particularly around ideals like free thought, free speech, and the open exchange of ideas and goods. Yet, this trend towards universal values is clashing with certain cultures that feel threatened. These cultures respond to perceived existential threats by rallying around authoritarian leaders, implementing stricter regulations.

Frustratingly, the study focuses too heavily on GDP per capita and largely overlooks the devastating effects of nationalism and religion. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-46581-5

> Have you had to play games as part of your tech support duties?

Well sort-of. My first co-op job was at the Ministry of Transportation. They had a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet that had planning costs for highway construction projects. All I had to do was add or fix up some of the formulas on them. All quite rudimentary, but it seemed at the time there really wasn't many in the office with 1-2-3 experience as the PC and software was new to the office.

So the rest of the time I chatted with folks and waited for the coffee+snack trolley to come around twice a day and otherwise take breaks. I got bored fast as there was no other work to do. One day I brought in my Atari 400 and just started writing games. The others seemed to enjoy seeing them too. Got a good work term review. They asked me if I knew any other smart candidates and I mentioned a friend of mine who was hired for the next term (after an initial mixup with another person with the same first/last, co-incidentally a classmate but not the friend I meant).
I can confirm that. And Ms. Litre went to the same school and was best friends with Mr. Tracing.

The most humbling part is, there’s always another level down. I thought programming code for the Linux kernel was low-level, until I worked on a team where there was an entire separate MCU on the same package underneath the primary cores running Linux that booted and controlled the whole system. I thought that was low-level until I worked for a team building a similar chip and had to participate in the design and validation efforts for it. There is almost always a whole world beneath the level of abstraction any of us operate on. Beneath the software world are IP blocks, which are composed of digital logic circuits, which are composed of transistors, which are governed (if you get small enough) by quantum effects… reaching the bottom is nearly impossible; it’s very humbling.

This is especially true from a security standpoint. Many analysts are worried about XSS attacks and other such high-level techniques. C has an entire different class of vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows. And beneath that, there are countless vulnerabilities by exploiting properties of the physical hardware. Most industries choose to ignore these problems, because they’re very expensive to mitigate.
You can reduce this further by saying most electrical fires are caused by people touching things they are not qualified to touch (and by qualified I mean competent, not Certified, or anything official).

If you are not comfortable with high voltage electrical work, or are not familiar with basic components of the electrical code that governs your area, then definitely don't do this. But mass-labeling the work of others as unsafe or harmful is not appropriate either.
It’s true in the commercial sense: we all wear Nikes, AirPods, drink CocaCola and buy Ford.
> in principle serve to share knowledge about how inventions work

Emphasis on "in principle". Most patents - especially software patents - are completely unintelligible. They also tend to describe the system enough that they can sue people that do the same thing, but no-where near enough that you could actually implement it based on the patent.
> The shift towards liberal values have come with great individual freedom and enormous strides in humane treatment of others, but they've also come with increasing isolation, the breakdown of families, shrinking and aging populations, and many other negatives

While these things have converged in time, I don't see how the shift towards liberal values (i.e. kindness towards people different to oneself) has in any way caused the other societal issues you mention. Just as an example, doesn't homophobia contribute to "the breakdown of families"?

I do appreciate your very measured contribution to a thread that is otherwise leading to shallow inflammatory comments.

This was fixed around Visual Basic 5, when it got AOT compilation with VC++ backend, OCX tooling in VB, it got a sweet spot in VB 6. Naturally this was kind of triggered by Delphi's competition, and then .NET came around.

Look at https://uppy.io/ open source and lot of integrations. You can keep moving to different levels of abstraction as required and see some good practices of how things are done.
Funny thing is that it is trivial to fool these apps by using scripts which interact with the computer/VM automatically, so they will not only scare away good developers, it is likely they are creating incentives for the kind of people who would cheat the system.
They claim there are bugs in the COBYLA solver implementations included in scipy that this implementation has fixed. So I guess if you run into any of those bugs then PRIMA is better.

They're apparently also in discussion with the scipy team to include their implementation in scipy, so hopefully the question will be moot in the not too distant future
That too could be played when people were still using landlines. It is obsolete with cell phones.

If a landline call was hung up at the receiving end but not at the calling end, it took about 30 seconds to time out and disconnect. Probably a feature that allows the callee to hang up and pick up again on a different extension phone.

So the scammer would call; you would rightly hang up and call the 1-800 number printed on your credit card. Only you were "calling" through the scammer's fake telco dialing sequence and... still be online with the scammer.

Sure, we learn by copying things. But there isn't, that I'm aware of, any evidence that an orangutan has done the learning part rather than just the copying part.

>"fixing a DNS leak will make you private and that's the only reason you're not!

This is not said or implied anywhere in Mullvad literature. In fact, they say the opposite.

"A VPN isn’t the entire solution for privacy. Here’s the kind of monitoring it can’t protect you against."

From https://mullvad.net/en/vpn/what-is-vpn
That's correct, distance plays a role in the estimate somehow so they limit it to when they can verify via GPS. They don't seem confidant on their distance relative to running on a treadmill. I find my watch is pretty close to the treadmill readout most of the time except when I start getting tired and holding onto the handles, then it begins to diverge.
Apple actually needed a little external help, as they were already on the red.
I agree with what you're saying, but I don't believe Mullvad push that narrative.

In the article, they warn that "DNS leaks may have serious privacy implications for users".

Looking at their marketing homepage, they say "Using a VPN alone is not enough to achieve perfect privacy. There’s simply too much data being extracted through most browsers."

They also have this expansive analysis of the major threats to internet privacy: https://mullvad.net/en/why-privacy-matters/how-mass-surveill...
