I thought about buying a slide rule just for fun to learn how they work. I couldn't find any regular sized traditional slide rules on Amazon. Does anyone sell them for a reasonable price?
Implications!

- Power systems: Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems will mistakenly trip out key assets from the grid.

- Spacecraft operations: May experience surface charging and tracking problems, corrections may be needed for orientation problems.

- Other systems: Induced pipeline currents affect preventive measures, HF radio propagation sporadic, satellite navigation degraded for hours, low-frequency radio navigation disrupted, and aurora has been seen as low as Alabama and northern California (typically 45° geomagnetic lat.).

Why is it better to render JSON on the server, read that JSON in a separate client app that you also have to write, and then do a bunch of manual DOM calls in Javascript, rather than rendering HTML on the server and letting the browser's blazing-fast compiled HTML parser turn it into DOM for you?
I literally can't understand the mindset of people who get offended by an ad that crushes objects. Not animals, not humans, just objects to give a message, yet people get offended by this.

wprs:
* does audio by forwarding a pulseaudio/pipewire socket, but it doesn't work so well for remote networks. I'd like to do something better in the future.
* defaults to 60fps and can support significantly higher refresh rates, depend on your cpu and bandwidth.
* aims to be low latency but prioritizes quality and so requires a good cpu and network connection to be low latency
* should be able to handle (possibly with some additional code) any input devices wayland supports
How come? Why do they have to take the profits out and can’t compound it?

From the linked study: [1]

Total operational water "footprint" of data centers in 2018: 5.13 * 10^8 m^3. Of that, indirect consumption through electricity generation: 3.83 * 10^8 m^3, or 74.7%. And indirect consumption related to water and wastewater utilities (non-electicity production): 4.50 * 10^5 m^3, or 0.09%.

The study then does a reasonable job of discussing the concerns of building data centers in water-stressed places.

This article seems to be another "didn't read the study, saw big number" thing.

IMO it's kind of silly and mentally corrosive to think of everything you do in these kind of transactional terms.

I post on reddit because I find it enjoyable. I am not doing "work" that I think I deserve to be compensated for. Not every POST request I make to someone's server should be accompanied by a bill for my labor.
You don't pay ordinary income taxes on the unrealized gains of your house. 1-2% property tax rate would be a tax loophole then.
Hmm, excluding the comment about the missing "-full" version, I don't see how it is not comparable. There is nothing that makes the networking code in KeepassXC more "risky" compared to the networking code in Linux.
Users should ideally report bugs to their distribution, not to upstream. The distribution package maintainer then does triage to determine if the issue is specific to the distribution package or should be forwarded upstream.

That's how it used to be in the past (and still is for enterprise distros because you might as well use the support contract you paid for). But lately users have gotten more savvy about talking to upstream directly, especially since more and more upstreams are now on easy-to-use websites like GitHub instead of mailing lists. That's still fine if users do their own diligence to ensure the issue is with upstream and not with the distribution package, but alas they don't all do that, leading to these spurious reports.
You really don’t. Even setting aside income tax vs property tax, people misunderstand property taxes in the US considerably.

A budget is normally set and it is funded by property taxes as a ratio of the asset value compared to all other asset values in the county. If your home didn’t increase in value nor did anyone else’s you’d pay the same amount because that budget has to be realized one way or the other.

Some jurisdictions make this less transparent by taxing at a flat rate (x% of assessed home value) but that’s misleading because they determined that rate to set their budget to begin with. If there were a downturn in property values across the board that didn’t happen at the same time as a recession somehow such that the monetary outflow remained high (high employment for the local government, high costs, no deflation, etc) then there would be a budget crisis and they’d revisit that percentage.
Thx for the perspective
These are two different types of taxes. Your home, and any increase in value, is not taxed as income like what is trying to be done to unrealized gains. Your residence is actually a loss asset given the upkeep costs and property taxes that you pay without earning income on it. Property taxes only similarity with income taxes is that money is being collected by the state.
I guess SimCity 2000 guaranteed this is the first thing everybody thinks about.

It seems that practicality and efficiency concerns limit the beam at between 10% to 30% of the solar intensity. Every single design falls in that range.
Butcher paper or freezer-quality Ziplocs make a huge difference. When I used to buy a quarter beef, there would be over 100 lbs. of beef in my deep freeze at any given moment, mostly wrapped in thick butcher paper. Ground beef was in plastic sleeves. It would be in there for over a year at times, and I never noticed even the slightest burn
When Telegram first launched this was exactly my hypothesis. They found some mathematicians and (to paraphrase Bruce Schneier) they immediately tried to re-invent cryptography -- badly. Which is fine.

I assumed that after a few years and some success, Telegram would get more serious about this and replace its crypto with something better (maybe Signal protocol) in the same way that WhatsApp did. I also thought they'd eventually back up their privacy claims by deploying default end-to-end encryption for non-broadcast chats. After all that's the trend everywhere: even Facebook Messenger is now encrypted! But Telegram never, ever did this. They kept on making loud claims to be a privacy-preserving messenger, but they never added real privacy.

As someone who double majored in English and Computer Science this is one of the silliest grievances I've ever heard.

Yeah, I'm also not sure why the group is characterized as "left-wing", as it seems to play more into a regressive right-wing agenda.
I'm used to KV systems being really simple shallow systems. WASI-keyvalue for example is quite simple, stopping at providing an increment capability. https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-keyvalue/blob/main/wit/a...

I knew Deno KV was built on FoundationDB, expected this would be a neat but simple systems architecture rundown. But... Turns out Deni really went super deep in building a KV, by adding atomics!

> To maximize performance and concurrency for atomic operations, we built the Deno KV Transaction Layer that manages the global order of atomic operations. For each transaction that is received by this Transaction Layer:

I thought it was particularly creative how a .get returns not just the value, but some reference to what the get was. So when the atomic change comes, they can check the get. This was a neat way to let some sets use previous data safely, I thought.

Does anyone else have any other examples of thicker kv APIs? It feels like we're nearing a cap'n'proto level of promise pipelining, as we extend kv this way; I though Denos dodge was extremely expertly picked to limit how complex references to existing operations would need to be.

But for the city centers that have disallowed cars, sure, as a pedestrian that's nice. But how about for restaurants needing supplies and others needing a vehicle to get in there?

I actually like the idea of superblocks like they have in Barcelona. They were wonderful.

They seem like a highly pragmatic solution where you can have a mix of pedestrian friendly zones and still allow for vehicles (and in some cities, in the pedestrian friendly zones, only EV delivery vehicles are allowed).

This kind of stuff to me seems more pragmatic than the general sentiment that cars are bad.
Mine is gone too.
Intentional provisions with intentional results aren't really loopholes. (Some will argue they're bad policy.)

The fact that Jeff Bezos can manage to quality for a child tax credit is a bit of a loophole, though.

https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trov...

> In 2011, a year in which his wealth held roughly steady at $18 billion, Bezos filed a tax return reporting he lost money — his income that year was more than offset by investment losses. What’s more, because, according to the tax law, he made so little, he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children.
In fairness, golf courses help replenish aquifers in their area, and not all of them are sourced from “fossil water”. My city in the SE USA gets its water from a surface supply, so as long as the river through town is flowing, we’re good. The best golf course in the area backs up to said river; I don’t know for sure where they get their water, but since it’s essentially agricultural use, there’s no need to treat it prior to use. I would be surprised if they don’t just pump it directly from the river to the course.

It’s all going to end up in the same river after the fact anyway. Not all of us live in near-deserts.

You might be forgetting about how loud birds can be. At least twice a week I'll wake up to birds chirping until at least 7am.

They are extremely loud, second only to no muffler cars and sport bikes blasting through deserted back roads.

If you live in the woods with trees, they'll sound as loud as the ocean. If you live near the ocean, well that's always loud.

The biggest offenders are:

1. cars/trucks
2. birds
3. airplanes
4. ac units
5. ocean
6. wind with trees

You'd never know trees sound like the ocean if you aren't around trees. Trains are loud but intermittent. And trains don't run very often anymore where I am.

Bad PR works on controversial things, for example if someone wants to sell courses to become “Alpha Male”. People who are into that become suddenly aware of it.

Apple ad isn’t controversial because people react indifferent at best and very negative at worst. Everyone already knows what an ipad is.

Somewhat confusing because it seems like they didn't test it against any actual self-driving car stack, just some kind of toy version?

Who knows what context besides the actual sign itself is used to determine where to stop, for example. Maybe the line on the road, maybe map data, maybe the pole or the appearance of the intersection itself. Maybe the vision system is resilient to this attack in some other way. Maybe the system detects this state and has a fail-safe behavior.

Anyway, interesting to research, but unclear how it affects production systems.
* Have a well stocked pantry. Costco business centers sell large bags of rice, beans, etc. very cheap. It just doesn't hurt to have some of these things on hand and use them.

* Have solar installed on your home. Have some spare disconnected inverters, maybe even a couple of uninstalled panels.

* Grow some of your own food in a garden.

* Have good relationships with some of your neighbors.

* Know how to do stuff yourself, have some tools and building materials in your garage

* Have a bicycle

* Have a method to purify water

None of these things are bad ideas anyway. Just don't be absolutely reliant on just-in-time purchasing of life necessities and know enough to be able to figure stuff out on your own. More or less just go on an overnight backpacking trip once in a while without buying prepackaged everything and you'll be pretty good.
I wonder how Starlink is going to fare...
> Engine/exhaust noise is a problem but easy to solve

It's easy from a technical standpoint but practically impossible from a human one. The vast majority of people simply don't notice or care that some large percentage of vehicles are intentionally modified to be louder than the legal maximum. Police won't enforce it, and most citizens barely register the noise as present, much less a problem.

Banning ICE vehicles altogether may very well be the only thing that actually gets the problem solved, since that actually has more momentum behind it than enforcement of existing noise regulations does.

I think the more important facet is the output stage. Almost all energy consumed gets converted to heat, with only a small portion doing usable work. Unless there's a massive improvement in the electrical foundations of compute, we will be producing large amounts of heat no matter where the energy is sourced from.
> features a large majority of people don't use.

I would be shocked if this was true. I have recommended KeepassXC to many of my friends and family and they all use at least one of the features that was in the removed list. To be fair, none of them use debian, but some of them do use other Linux distros.

I don't use debian on desktop anymore on my main machine, but I did use BunsenLabs for a long time and even back then KeepassX (and afterwards KeepassXC) auto-type was a critical feature I used literally every day.
I'm not bitter about it, it's just that college was the last time I was interacting a lot with people not in STEM fields. All my friends went into technical fields for some reason, even if they started off somewhere else. Nowadays I occasionally get "Where do you work? Oh that company? I hate that company."

I'm on Windows 11, and when I click the "Task View" button which is usually right next to the windows button on the task bar, I get a layout of all my open windows on my current desktop. But there is a ribbon across the bottom of the screen that shows "Desktop 1" and "Desktop 2" and another with "Add Desktop".

I can have a dozen windows spread out all across my 3 monitors on desktop 1 and a different windows placed on Desktop 2. when I switch to desktop 2, it switches the whole view to the other windows.

And now, as I write this and test it out, I realize that you must be talking about the icons on the desktop rather than the open programs? That would make sense, because those icons do stay the same no matter which desktop.

I guess I just never thought about that because I almost never use desktop icons anymore. I just hit the windows key on the keyboard and start typing to find what I want. I actually rarely even see my actual desktop, because that would require me to close everything or minimize everything to see the icons and that is just an extra step.
I'm literally reading the last chapter of "The Man Who Solved the Market" right now. RIP
