I feel like this is the difference between bureaucracies and individuals.

If you're an individual developer, you interact with many bureaucracies. Not only the app store, but probably two of them, and a bank, and a couple of social media platforms, and a hosting company, and you use a bunch of software that each has its own license etc. Each of these come with a wall of text which is like 50 pages long. You have not read them, you would not understand them even if you did because they're written in lawyer, and the thrust of most of them is something like "the company reserves the right to do whatever they want".

No one is ever in compliance because the rules are designed to be broad enough to allow the company to declare you persona non grata under an unrelated pretext if they want to, so complying with the rules is not only not expected but purposely impossible. Then people have little idea which rules are real and enforced and which ones are just there so the company can act with impunity, and you can't glean this from reading them (which you don't have the time or understanding to do anyway), so instead they just behave as an ordinary person would while ignoring whatever it says in the documents, which is reasonable enough to keep most people out of trouble until it isn't.

Bureaucracies behave completely differently. They hire lawyers, because they have the resources to hire lawyers, and then demand that the rules are something they can actually comply with because otherwise they engage in malicious compliance and are big enough for that to cause problems for the entity making the rules. Then they pretend it would be reasonable for individuals to do the same thing, even though it's not.
I drink may be two liters of water per day. Unless Google lies to me, 5 gallons is almost 20 liters which would be enough for 3 weeks for me with rationing.
I big issue with Cloudflare KV (and Workers too) is that values do not persist at the edge. They are copied on demand much like a CDN and then expired after some time. This works great when you have a ton of traffic but sucks when you want consistent good performance with erratic traffic.

I wish CF had a premium tier where both Workers and KV would persist the the edge.

The cheapest way is to find some cheap, food-safe container(s). Put it into your basement and change out the water every 3-6 months.

55 gallon rain barrels can often be found subsidized and therefore cheap.

This outrage feels so manufactured. I'm a huge basketball fan, coach, ex-player. If they included a basketball in the ad my thought would've been "yeah, you can play NBA2k on it". I'm not mad about the destruction of a single basketball. I don't feel like its disrespect to the game. It's showing that this single device has captured elements of basketball into a small form factor.

As you note this may hint at a larger weariness with big tech -- and I tend to agree. I feel like if it was a public library crushing a bunch of things, and then ends with it lifting up and showing a library card there wouldn't be the same concerns.
> We've been considering creating a separate project/repository for the tools since they might be interesting for other projects such as yours as well.

Happy to use anything that makes my life easier! I myself also started to prototype some tools - https://github.com/krystalgamer/spidey-decomp/tree/master/to... - but didn't get much far. I see there's quite a bit of overlap so I might integrate them on my workflow

Curious to know about `patch_c2.py` it mentions a bugged warning. Is that patch just to remove the warning or something deeper?

Well the current plan according to the BIPM is to keep adjusting UTC, but with bigger and less frequent adjustments. I'm predicting they'll change course in a hundred years, as you say, and just give up on leap seconds/minutes/hours altogether. So yes, I agree that this is the most likely scenario.

But again, we already have a time system that does not have leap seconds/minutes/hours. TAI and UTC would become effectively redundant. I don't understand why we need another version of TAI.
yeah. 'market neutrality' often means misplaced/unseen risk elsewhere
> At the very least, you take a muffler off your Harley, you get your Harley taken away.

This is one problem that I think is eminently solvable. Virtually nobody wants these vehicles in their community.

The reason the problem persists is because they disappear out of sight and without evidence before anyone can do anything about it. Just as soon as they annoy everyone, they're gone.

(And let's be honest, the police aren't particularly incentivized to pull these people over, given that they're almost by definition selfish assholes who are difficult to deal with.)

One solution I've been daydreaming of is a device that could cheaply and reliably capture video of passing vehicles (detailed enough to read license plates) and assign a loudness rating. The loudest vehicles could be shared to a database, and the data made freely available to whatever agencies are responsible for issuing tickets.

I suspect that with a large enough body of a evidence, the existing laws become much easier to enforce.

The ratio of (pollution/living person) will decrease. Unless you want to start unaliving people then this is a fixed fact of the world we live on.
If you hadn't seen Now and Then, Here and There, or Twelve Kingdoms, or read Red River, then maybe it'd seem fresh and interesting, but I dropped Re:Zero pretty early. Good genre fiction still has something to say about the real world, and Re:Zero felt like it was trying so hard to subvert genre expectations set by other fiction that it forgot that.
The genius move I heard of was to throw a few 5-gal jugs of water up in your attic (!!!). It's relatively shelf-stable, standardized size, and "in case of emergency" you can even use it as a gravity-flowed spout to fill smaller containers below.

I've taken to trying to have a minimal set of 4 one liter steel water bottles hung in the closet (grab + go) all the time. So convenient to be able to "just grab some water" on the way out the door, and is the start of a solid emergency prep station.
I don't know about great for humanity, but sustainable probably. I sit behind a keyboard for a living; while I might harbor some romantic notions about a pastoral life, deep down I know I'm not cut out for it. And the heat index where I live now gets into the one-teens every summer so I really don't think I'm cut out for it.

Also, I'm not one to complain about downvotes - I can take my knocks, but I'm a bit surprised that my comment is rather disliked; it's just my thought at that moment.
It's like a snowball effect. If something does not 'take' no amount of IQ or connections will help.

I think it is not just a matter of what you consider your community. The comment was suggesting building that community of reliable and likeminded people. It takes work, it is part of the “prep.” I certainly haven’t done it. But of course the suggestion must be to build the good type of community.
I ask myself the same thing almost everyday and then that one really cool thing comes along. Yep pretty much mental gambling in the same way other social media is. I got rid of all of that, HN is my last hold out for now.
This split exists not just in organizations but in society at large. Some people are builders and some are redistributors. Builders take pride in creating value and redistributors can provide useful service by making value available to more people. Very often engineers are not interested in marketing/selling their product and redistributors fill a useful niche.

However, some fraction of redistributors are willing to enrich themselves at the expense of others. These should never be allowed to make decisions affecting others. A founder should always look for people from the first group by looking at their past behavior and make sure those succeed him.

dumb comment. he did more than that. consider his catching pennies helped others who chose other vocations.
I'm not entirely clear on what your question is, but reused single-use propane canisters are lesser for three reasons.

1. The propane they are manufactured with is carefully dried, but propane out of bulk tanks is not. The single use tanks have thinner walls with less corrosion protection because the high-end propane doesn't need it.

2. The safety over-pressure valve on those tanks has similar design constraints and may corrode shut with un-dried propane. Sometimes people damage those valves while refilling.

3. It's easy to overfill those little tanks such that high temperatures can cause over-pressure problems. Due to (1) and (2) the built-in safety measures for refillable tanks cannot be assumed.
Don't forget about the game breaking DLCs that they'll gladly take money for but never fix.
As I said, the article addresses the estate tax.

> And after death, the common understanding goes, there’s a final no-escape clause: the estate tax, which imposes a steep tax rate on sums over $11.7 million. ProPublica found that none of these factors alter the fundamental picture.

> It’s clear, though, from aggregate IRS data, tax research and what little trickles into the public arena about estate planning of the wealthy that they can readily escape turning over almost half of the value of their estates. Many of the richest create foundations for philanthropic giving, which provide large charitable tax deductions during their lifetimes and bypass the estate tax when they die.

> Wealth managers offer clients a range of opaque and complicated trusts that allow the wealthiest Americans to give large sums to their heirs without paying estate taxes. The IRS data obtained by ProPublica gives some insight into the ultrawealthy’s estate planning, showing hundreds of these trusts.
Certain substances are certainly clear cut.

But consider, I dunno, salt? A little built of salt in the environment is normal. But a whole lot of it is pollution.
> They're old and obsolete. While they may have value to a niche group, they are overall viewed as mostly worthless.

Old and obsolete doesn't mean worthless, if people are collecting them and spending a lot of money on them then they're not worthless.
While this is true, not many of them hit earth... which these are. Which is why this is a thing now. They also aren't uniformly distributed over that time period.
Plenty of artists make art for commercial purposes. In fact, that's kind of the dividing line between "professional" and "amateur" artist.
Yeah, the loss of Deno's original mission statement was saddening. I was hoping for a scrappy, but minimal and slowly growing runtime. Now that's it's being pumped with VC money, the team is spreading themselves thin between KV, Deno Deploy, Fresh Framework, JSR, and NPM/Node compatibility.
I feel like people have bought into the PR.

Everything in that press was a representation of a real and useful thing, and the people who hate this commercial the most seem to have substituted a real and useful thing for the simulation of one. Whereas the moment the cans on the piano were crushed, I thought, "wow that old (busted?) piano is holding up well."

Practical effects are not only full of fakery, they're also the origin of a lot of the tricks known to the world.
I don't understand why they need to apologize for this.

At worst, it was a waste of a lot of money over things that seem pretty nice like a trumpet or a piano. Those could have been used by a school or something. And that's the worst criticism I could think of. If the entire thing were 3D graphics, then I actually would be extremely impressed.

Otherwise it's just an ad, and apologizing makes them look weak, not that it will affect them at all.
Is there any reason 'enterprise' features can't be purchased a-la-carte if your org is <X size? Or for a team of X people in a bigger org? Like, if our company has 10,000 people, but only 15 people are ever going to use your tool, we cannot justify the Enterprise pricing... I run into this all the time :(
Constantinople was the center of the empire long before Italy and Rome were lost (and the Byzantine empire controlled the city of Rome itself until the 750s).

It’s a bit like saying that Angles/English stopped being “English” after they moved from northern Germany/Denmark to the modern territory of Britain.

At least for several centuries the “Byzantine” Empire was the Roman Empire and was undoubtedly recognized as such both in the west and east.

> Would be really cool to eventually see some type of level editor for this game

So there's already a tool by Zedek that can export the models to blender (not sure about re-importing). I heard that PSXPrev by rickomax can work with the game files but never tried myself. As for level editor, there was this guy that came into the community and made a proper level unpacker + packer, it was primitive but worked much better than anything that I've ever done. Sadly he disappeared but his tool still floats around from what I remember.

> maybe a multiplayer server

I get asked about this a lot :D Multiplayer will be a challenge in the way it handles events, there's a lot of hardcoded stuff. Not saying it's impossible, but it'd require a big re-write of the engine.
so I don't understand what the usecase for a terminal file manager is. I've always felt comfortable using cp/mv/mkdir/etc. but I feel like I'm missing out. Can someone explain how and why you'd use this ?
Let's be honest here: people are going to watch the video on their iPhone, fleetingly think "well that's a weird ad, really did not like that..." and then move onto something else on their iPhone.

I wanted this for GPIO on my PC to interface with some hardware, but all the prebuilt USB TF232 adapters had the GPIO pins closed off, and AFAICT the TF232 requires flashing using some proprietary windows binary to get into a mode where the GPIO pins can be used as GPIO (since it has multiple modes of operation).

I can't believe I'm not missing something... Is there an off the shelf USB GPIO device somewhere? Plug it in and start using the linux GPIO driver?

The solution my friends gave me was "buy an arduino", flash the arduino, and use the arduino's gpio... which yeah, I could do, but is that really what it takes for a $2000 desktop to flip a bit these days?
Too many people care about this.
I chose to live here.

Congratulations, but this doesn't have anything to do with what they said.

My point is that freedom can come in different forms.

No one said anything about this.

They just said cars give people freedom of movement which is true. You're anecdotes about riding the subway doesn't impact this in one way or the other. I think you're making the common blunder of someone pointing out an effect and then misunderstanding that to mean only that thing has that effect.
Nobody went out and bought a vintage arcade game with "unique arcade hardware." It's almost certainly plywood and an old monitor.
CephFS works great at home. I've got an all-Linux setup, and it works great on Laptops as they go to sleep and resume. Works great over Tailscale on a modile hotspot too.

My home cluster is running on some 7 Raspberry Pis currently, so it's not very performant, but the uptime over the past 2-3 years has been unbeatable.

With cephadm it's very easy to stand up, and upkeep has been basically zero.

Every serious finance company knows how to optimize taxes.

Simons was returning 25-50% on 8BN AUM at Medallion every year with one or two exceptions every year for 30 years.

Even the hedge funds we let openly operate with black edge in plain sight can rarely do that for 3-5 years.

It’s obviously debatable unless they open the books, but it’s pretty much common knowledge which funds are bending the rules (flagrantly violating securities law), and I’m unaware that Medallion was anything other than just there first.
So does a pellet gun.

GP is very right. To this day, I know that if I don't go to sleep until ~03:30, I might just as well stay up - when the birds wake and start making noise, I won't be able to sleep at all. Cars, trams, trains, I can tune out. There's something about bird chirps that makes them impossible for my brain to ignore. It's worse than loud snoring.
Not to diminish the other conflicts but currently the same process is applied to History, Justice and people, all are crushed without any remorse and it happens in Palestine.

Homes being prepared also dramatically reduces the need for distributed aid to these people. That could mean that labour to restore minimal infrastructure is more available. Feeding people in situations like that takes immense effort.
I love his channel, and not only because of the accent. True no nonsense stuff. His videos about LoRa are brilliant.

I am especially gratefy for his video about power measurements of microcontrollers. It's really common sense for everyone with a little bit of electronics background but I've seen so many people (some who should have known better) just sticking a multimeter onto it and calling it a day that someone really explaining patiently and in simple terms, why this often does not really work is a godsend.
It just removes the warning, which is impossible to get rid of otherwise. This bug has persisted all the way into MSVC 6.0:

https://web.archive.org/web/20000519112833/https://support.m...

Since the warning is relatively useless we opted to fix C2.EXE so that it is never emitted. It generates a lot of noise during compilation otherwise (if you are using templates).
Typically you would do a uniform (-x, x) and then take the limit.

This isn’t necessarily the same as the (-1, 1) version though

> Okay, that's averaged over 15 minute time slots, but even the connection for my house is only rated 13.8 kW!

In the US we have single-phase (split-phase) 120/240v 200A service drops for houses, 48kW. Houses over 3,000 square feet with electric heating, electric ovens, electric water heaters, and electric air conditioning can push 150A peak demand, and a 200A service drop is not much more expensive for the utility than a 100A service drop. Most houses in my state have gas water heaters and furnaces so 200A is overkill for most people in my state.

A 7kW 240V single-phase load draws (7000/240) 29.1A

IIRC most of Europe gets 230V or 400V three-phase power for houses, so here’s both calculations.

A 7kW 230V three-phase load draws (7000/(230*1.732) 17.57A

A 7kW 400V three-phase load draws (7000/(400*1.732) 10.1A

The reasoning behind a 50kW for a house in the US is (probably a 48kW) generator is you can fully back up your 200A service (240V times 200A = 48kW) and not split out the generator loads into a subpanel.

Older houses in the US might have a 100A service, I’ve even seen 60A house services.

P.S. 1.732 is sqrt(3)
While these efforts are more tailored to the needs of the Steam Deck, I could see it being useful as other immutable Linux devices start to enter the market in the coming years. Valve has done excellent work making Linux more usable for games, and most importantly, following through on that work over time. Imagine where Proton will be in five years?
