The article speculates that these are using SMR because the previous 5TB drives used SMR and these drives seem to be just the 5TB drive with an extra platter.

If so, the combination of 2.5" form factor and SMR means the sustained write performance will be abysmal. Just painfully slow. And it's even worse for a USB drive since they have to be ready to disconnect at a moments notice. I think the upshot is that 2.5" spinning disks are a dead industry.

Why serde1 and proptest1 as opposed to say just serde and proptest or serde-camino and proptest-camino?

No, that’s totally irrelevant - on a large interconnected grid you can get past 75% renewables with basically no storage (South Australia does it as part of Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM)). No single generation type can cover 100% itself - even when things were largely coal, it was always required to have hydro or gas dispatchable generation for peaking, and this wasn’t counted in the cost or any other statistic of those plants… it’s just a reality of running a grid.

In the same way, fugitive emissions are usually ignored for gas (even though the case is far stronger than yours for including them as part of the lifecycle analysis), and oil exploration, refinery, transport etc. emissions aren’t counted in car’s fuel economy.

The study in question is trying to measure a particular thing, and it does it appropriately.

There are already 8,820 electric school busses in service [1], and they would be plugged in when used for grid support. If they burn from this use case, it's going to be off hours without kids on them. Currently, about one combustion school bus fire occurs every day in the US [2] [3], so school bus fires are hardly unusual and one might expect electric propulsion versions to combust less often.

There is a $5B EPA fund to electrify school busses [4], so whether this works or not is not material for the primary use case. Doesn't hurt to try, collect data, and decision to continue at a later point.

While your eyes can naturally spot a pattern over time in time series data, machines can’t. So as we did for imaging, where we pre-trained models to let machines easily identify objects in pictures, now we (they) are doing the same to let machines “see” patterns over time. Then, how these patterns work, this is another story.

No, quite the opposite in fact - I'm often on a protein sparring modified fast and avocados are the only thing that make it tolerable (I know it's cheating but I don't care). I actually don't eat that much guacamole, pretty much only at Mexican restaurants a few times a year. I eat avocado sliced, sprinkled with olive oil or lime juice and some salt & pepper.

A medium avocado is 200-300 grams so it's not that much, especially if you don't eat many carbs otherwise.
As far as I know that’s usually a split-phase system: You get 110V between either phase and neutral, and 220V between the phases.

In a three-phase system (like the ones used in most of Europe), that effect isn’t as pronounced since you usually have at most 120 degrees phase difference instead of 180 and the voltage between two phases is less than double, so less appliances make use of that (I think some stoves do).

I think this is because {a:1} is a cleverly disguised block statement with a label named 'a', followed by the expression 1.

It looks bad, but it never comes up in practice because {a:1} is only parsed as a block if it's at the start of a line, which it never would be.
Can you label people manually or do face recognition?

This makes no sense to me.

There is only one terminal that user is going to use, and as an app author, you cannot choose which one is it. There is a good chance that your app will run in terminal which was last updated many years ago, and you cannot do anything about it.

On the other hand, you can link to any library you want, and as an app author, you have full (or almost full) control over it. There is a good chance your app will use the libraries you want (especially if its in modern language), and in the worst case you can vendor library locally.

It follows that we should have as much functionality as possible in libraries, and as little as possible in terminals. Your progress bar? Should be a library. If there is a terminal support for it, it should be an optional low-level "eye candy" (some might even call it "bloat"), with all the real logic (like ETA estimation, rate limiting, and formatting) implemented in libraries.

This applies to all your other ideas, too.

"proper inter-process message passing via standardised interfaces" - that exists, and has nothing to do with terminals. Depending on exact details, it is called JSON, DBUS, XML, etc... If you want Powershell-like "ls | select .name", then you don't need to mess with terminal either - it's all shell functionality (maybe with some env var conventions).

Terminals already offer completion like IDEs do, try hitting TAB. I agree it might be nice to use a different font for those, but there is no need for redesign, you only need a new escape sequence like "start/stop floating window" (but again, some might call this "bloat")

Because there can be a serde 2 or proptest 2 in the future, but camino's API surface is relatively small and pretty rigid so there will never be a camino 2.

If camino's MSRV was more modern (1.60 I think?) Rust I'd remove the `serde` and `proptest` features entirely via the `dep:` syntax. (Come to think of it, it may be worth bumping the MSRV for that! Would want to look at some data, and maybe in a few months -- camino deliberately has an ancient MSRV as a foundational crate.)

What authenticates the trusted party?
Hey, it's me!

I'd added a new hostname to a long-existing domain. Then I added that hostname as a new virtual host to a Caddy server I've been running for a long time. The requests were to that vhost, i.e. using the `Host: my-new-host.example.com` header, not just running `curl http://1.2.3.4`. They were asking for the brand-new host by name.

After hashing it out with some friends on Mastodon, I think it's most likely because Caddy acquired a Let's Encrypt cert, those certs are logged[0], and attackers pounce on new hosts as soon as they're in the logs.

Show HN: Collaborative Task Management Platform
I’m building Hausou, a task management app for completing tasks successfully at home. You can test our app here: [https://hausou-mpbnhm.flutterflow.app](https://hausou-mpbnhm....

Managing tasks can be extremely exhausting, especially when there is little communication between couples, family, roommates, etc. As a result, things can get heated.

Based on this pain point, I created this platform to solve this problem which allows two or more people to collaborate on the tasks at home and keep their spaces so they can relax.

I encourage you to try Hausou and share your thoughts as well! I’m excited to help create spaces in which everyone can complete their tasks and celebrate these milestones!
My alt theory is the pyramids were started from the core first with the blocks and then built out from there. And the stone was right there beneath the pyramid being carved out. But how did they get the blocks to the top? Using a crane system! At the apex there would be a lever balance and ropes would lever the stones into place.
Maybe try looking for Clojure jobs? They aren't super common but are a lot more so than any other lisps or functional languages that I'm aware of (except maybe Scala).

Next up on my list, construction sites! We've had a small condo going up nearby, wood framed, and the generator is loud as fuck all the time. They use so little power though. A hybrid setup with 1kwh battery would let that thing rest 95% of the time.

These ('scissor stairs') are an important part of the discussion here. They are allowed (or counted as two separate means of exit) in New York, Australia, Vancouver, etc. but not permitted (or counted as one means of exit) in most of the rest of the USA, the UK, etc.

For a high rise building they don't take up much more space than a single stair and can play an important role in the structure of the building also.

I don't know if this kind of thing is predictable enough to work without fans, since airflow makes such a big difference.

6 scenes is like, way not enough. And proprietary refills are obviously crappy.

How I would do it is to have little pots full of unspillable gel, with the pots having a filter so nothing but scented air can exit(Any spray or mist would contaminate things and possibly make it smell like the previous gunpowder when you meant to do forest).

I'd have a tiny silent fan on top of the monitor, and an air pump and bank of valves, that could blow air through the pot, up a hose, and out the fan, which would itself be controllable, and also have a bright RGB light, for muzzle flash and also just as a zoom meeting light.

Maybe I'd also have an ultrasonic mister.

Then I'd have an API that let you specify a set of scent descriptors from a big list, and would release any of the ones that match. Keep it high level and semantic, like "mens cologne 1", and then tell the engine "I loaded in birch bark, pine, gunpowder fart, old dumpster, and hideous chemical ocean breeze".

It could take all the descriptors in the game and match them to "recipes" from its database that can be made with what you loaded.

That way you can use any essential oil from any brand, and it will try it's best to use what you give it.

But that would probably cost too much to make, except as a very niche thing.

When you wash the car properly, you want to remove the excess water as it's not clean. Most people do this with a microfiber, towel or chamois. These can scratch the surface if not done properly.

A strong blower will remove the water without scratching the surface. It also works in places too small to reach with a towel.

> Reforms to the Pole Attachment Act have made this shit is easy now. Easy, but not cheap.

AFAICT, the pole attachment regulation changes only happened in mid-January 2024. They're probably good changes, but

1) They happened just yesterday, speaking in "policy time".

2) If you don't think an absolute assload of time and money can be wasted with doomed-to-fail appeals and spurious orders for documentation and impact analysis and the like, you've spent all your life in a shockingly well-run city (or maybe a place with next-to-no municipal services and associated power grabs).

> It doesn’t matter in which cardinal direction you travel for 20 minutes...

Well, it does, actually. See below for commentary on your particular selection of SJ as your exemplar city.

> ...regulatory capture ain’t stopping anyone from starting their own ISP.

And yet for some weird reason, there are precious few non-telco/cableco ISPs in places like San Francisco that are doing something other than reselling rotting DSL, or running small microwave dishes on rooftops (that is, being a WISP).

San Jose may be remarkably well-managed (though, I expect WISPs make up the lion's share of your 20 ISP figure (and they're playing on easy mode in regards to permission-seeking)), but other places in the Bay Area are definitely not.

I've been living in SF for more than a decade, and I've watched Monkeybrains notice that building a city-wide fiber network was completely impractical and resorted to being a WISP. I've also watched Sonic's fiber installation program in the city stall for roughly a decade. While I'm glad that starting in mid 2019 [0] they've been able to string and light up fiber to not just small sections of the most western portions of the city but a significant fraction of the city, much of Sebastapol got lit up quite a while back. You'd expect a big city with a high density of customers would get lit up before a fairly small, sparse town if it was just a cost/benefit analysis doing the location selection.

Whatever you want to call it, the political and regulatory situation on the ground is obviously getting in the way of folks providing civilized-speed data transit services to potential customers in many major cities. You don't want to call it "regulatory capture"? Okay, sure. The on-the-ground political resistance and obstructionism is still rooted in the same sort of backroom dealing and under-the-table kickbacks, so you're just using a different phrase for the same behavior.

> A social network has to make money somehow because it has bills to pay. Hosts aren't free. Servers aren't free.

Sure, but probably a FOSS social network would need far fewer of these than a paid one, because 99% of the server costs of something like Facebook or Twitter, go toward the backends, analytical DBs, and graphical / ML models used to power "features" that no user wants, but which make Facebook themselves money.

And a FOSS social network would just... not build those kinds of features.

Instead of, say, a feed constantly rebuilt to drive engagement and rage-bait, you'd just get a simple chronological feed of what everyone you're following is posting; with maybe the ability to dial down the number of posts you see from any given person you're following ("show me the only the most-liked Nth percentile of posts from this user") without unfollowing. But even that kind of filtering — in fact, even the merging of followed users' feeds! — could all be done client-side. The whole "feeds" part could be as simple as a post-triggered static-site-generator pushing JSON into an object-storage bucket hiding behind an edge cache.
