Given that The Guardian is a UK newspaper, I surprised by no mention of the strikes in the UK from 1972 to 1974.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_United_Kingdom_miners%2...

The reduction in electricity generation brought on from the strikes of coal miners prompted the Prime Minister to impose a three-day work week.

The disastrous consequences to the economy brought down the government, and began the era of Margaret Thatcher.

In another fifty years, whose turn will it be to suffer such instability?
Because that was how Tesla became what it is today starting with the Roadster.

It's a tried and true formula of release a high end, very expensive vehicle with a lot of experimental features that funds and proves out the engineering process that you can eventually roll into cheaper, more well made offerings.
My understanding is that the manufacturing costs have nothing whatsoever to do with why they’re so expensive. It’s already damn near aspirin-cheap to make.

After surviving multiple rounds of layoffs, I decided to quit and not wait for the final big one. (happened months later)

That was ~8 months ago. I’ve done ZERO leetcode practice as I’ve been too busy shipping for my users and customers.

Here is what has been keeping me busy.

https://randomdailyart.com

Shipped a Next.js/React app for artists to maintain artist profiles and submit art to the newsletter. Using MySQL, Prima, TypeScript, Tailwind, and React. Sent my 2,500,000th email/piece of art.

Onboarded 100+ artists.

Launched an AI version: https://randomdailyart.ai

Using Go Hugo, tailwind, lots of cool vanilla JavaScript animations, tailwind.css.

https://unfuck.email

My most ambitious project yet. Fix email with a browser extension. I ship daily. Using vanilla class-based TypeScript, some React, tailwind.css. Coming very soon.
Generally the design and testing of the masks tries to take that into account.

I only looked into it informally during the early pandemic, so recollection is a bit hazy. But IIRC different amounts of virus travel on different sized droplets. Different sized droplets also can have different behaviors. Big enough and it doesn’t get through the mask. I think there’s also a “small enough” point where they don’t penetrate very well because they basically bounce around with brownian-like motion, don’t really create much flow. Also, IIRC larger droplets carry more viral load, but I’m pretty sure the smaller ones stay suspended in the air longer.

It is a pretty complex space I think.
> But you can change this with your theme

This was a long time ago. Today it is either dark or light.
I think you might be drawing a false equivalence. Left wing solutions to things like porn, gambling, drugs, sex work, abortion - is to regulate them so that they are "safe" (harm-reduced) & then find ways to reduce those activities in first place & provide support for people to get out of those activities. Left wing considers these as social problems - not legal.

In contrast, right wing views these as problems to be solved also with the legal system. Ban entirely and enforce with police and criminal sentences. Thus the "hates" I don't think is quite equal between the two.

I will concede for sure though that if you go far enough left the degree of 'hate' levels out between right & left, but the number of people on the two sides is different.

The "silent majority" part of the right wing, the old Reagan coalition for a long time was a pretty sizable part of the Republican party. Meanwhile, the twitter left progressive wing of the Democratic party is not as large compared to the republican religious-conservative right.

If we think to the OG far-left hatred of porn - that was there before revenge-porn etc were even concerns. Those OG left-wing concerns that did want to ban porn - were concerned about how porn disempowers women, can glorify violence, further genders inequality, etc..

As a general left/right difference, the approach is not equal. In the cases where the approach is to ban entirely - there are just different numbers of people in the far left "porn should be banned" camp compared to the "porn is sin" camp.

Obviously he meant a geodesic though spacetime, assuming constant speed. Of course your speed does become relevant, but as long as it's positive, "space" seems broadly correct.

At least if we ignore the first 10km or so of your journey. A true straight line (geodesic) from the starting point would take us straight into a tree, hill or building. At that point the journey would end since humans can't phase through solid objects. You never reach another country.

No one is saying anyone should stop exploring new paths. I don't know what you personally are bringing to the table as far as adding to the ambition, so excuse my naivety.

The issue is that there is a misrepresentation by the Bytecode Alliance about WASI, from where it began, to where it is now. And a lot of this has been poorly communicated or not done at all. Which has only left many of us to think that they are trying to pull a fast one over the community to forcefully bring everyone along into Components when that is not desirable.

> Wasm has not allowed actual inter-language operation at any serious scale.

This is untrue, and you may just be unaware of efforts like Extism [0]. While it is intentionally not a binding generator, it does make it very easy to blend languages meaningfully. Disclaimer, I work on Extism and therefore have some bias :) We have different goals than the Component Model, so if you actually want what the component model offers, you should use it!

I believe the easy solution here is to:

1. stop referring to WASI 0.1 as "legacy", implying some obsolete status, or call 0.1 something entirely different. Let it continue to be an easily targetable interface to bridge to the rest of today's software.

2. move WASI and Component Model code repositories out of the WebAssembly github org.

This would clarify the distinction between WebAssembly (the standard) and WASI 0.2 / WIT / CM as a project by Bytecode Alliance. They are not the same, and while the Bytecode Alliance works on making things usable and ready, it doesn't cause harm or confusion for WebAssembly users.

There's a lot of misunderstanding and oversimplification going on amongst many debating this issue, often with strong emotions. I think you're right that we need to be clear where the harm is coming from: social media and the corporations that profit from it. Blaming it on phones or even "screen time" misses the mark and makes it hard to specifically address the issue. If they take the phones away, kids will access via their laptops, watches, etc.

Now it's easy to say that we should put limits and regulation in place of these corporations, and I would agree. What I'm concerned about is giving more power to governments that have shown themselves to be grossly incompetent and prone to abuse/misuse of power.

I would like to think there's a way we can limit access to social media within schools, but the damage also occurs outside school hours. Maybe it's a good enough start though.

Edit: elaboration.
I went back to community servers and despite a few minute wait, it's quite pleasant. I guess I haven't played much in the last couple years though.

48V and steer by wire already exist in other cars.

Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, Renault, Kia, Hyundai all have 48V cars. Some of those are several years old.

The Toyota bZ4X and Lexus RZ 450e are fully steer by wire.. and Silverado EV and Hummer EV use it for the rear steering. All of those are on the market.. The bZ4X is from 2022.

Edit: I looked up the data can bus changes for the cybertruck... that's not new either. Look up "Automotive Ethernet"

It should be obvious at this point that Valve simply does not care about TF2.

There is no one at the organization that does more than the absolute bare minimum to keep the servers up and the loot crate cash rolling in.

At this point, I think it’s best for the player base to just give up on it and let TF2 rest in peace. It had a real good run, but in the end it died due to developer neglect. It’s time to move on.

Tired of trying to beat kube into shape? Does writing YAML to ship code fill you with utter dread? Dream of a future where deploying software is simple, and you don't need an army of infrastructure engineers to build that perfect janky bash script™ to make life easy?

We're Railway, and we think infrastructure can be better. So far we've built out a platform loved by hundreds of thousands of users who simply tell us "Give me Postgres", "Deploy this repo", and we make it happen

Fair warning! The problems are complex: home-rolled hypervisors, cut-above container orchestration, over/under/whateverlay networks, virtio device drivers, edge proxies, IAM that doesn't suck, kitchen sinks - we need to build it and we're looking for likeminded individuals who think this stuff is fun.

In the limiting case, this requires the social media industry to implement a parallel judicial system, or else make everything hosted there immediately legible to the actual judicial system in a way that overrides any other system of visibility control.

I'm not at all averse to imposing back on that industry the detriments it imposes on the society on which it feeds. I also don't think this or any other superficial solution of that problem is likely to net out better than the status quo.
You could come up with a scheme to store each version of the cookie in an accessible part of the SHM at a fixed address, but then you have to do GC to evict the oldest versions over time without causing problems etc. So I'd bet they are still retrieving the actual cookie contents via an RPC like before.

I built and shipped a Next.js / React app for artists to maintain artist profiles and submit art to my art newsletter. Using MySQL, Prima, TypeScript, Tailwind, and React. I finally sent my 2,500,000th email/piece of art. Onboarded 100+ artists.

The article gives one example:

> Today, physical beat-downs are filmed and uploaded to school-based fight groups on Instagram and other platforms—where they live on more or less indefinitely (sometimes they’re forced down, but they inevitably seem to crop back up, according to educators).

If a piece of content is taken down, it should remain down, and it should be the responsibility of the company hosting that content to ensure that it does not reappear.

If the 'cost' of not complying (regulation, fines, etc) is large enough, then there's an incentive to invent cost effective ways of complying with this requirement.

Right now, there's no real benefit to the social media companies to invest in this area. It's too easy for them to say both 'the content is user created and not our responsibility' and 'when we are informed about the content we remove it'.
Should be heavily noted that Llama 3 V is NOT from meta.
But these costs are inherently unquantifiable. A smartphone is an enormously useful tool, even for a child.
Social media isn't something entirely negative, just having a way to access your friends and family can be a huge benefit. And even if on the whole social media is a net negative, how do you quantity that into a "cost" the social media site has to pay?

> I would love nothing more than to be able to enable on-demand GPUs, but unfortunately this is a limitation from AMD right now. We can't do PCIe pass through to a virtual machine, it just doesn't work. This is why our minimum is 8 right now. If you look at all of our competitors, they have the same issue. Even Azure "VM", is 8 at a time, but they are all sold out due to high demand.

Thank you for the response!

Renting 8 GPUs at once is fine and desired; it's not the issue.

The issue is that right now one has to commit to at least 1 week of use; my use patterns are bursty and it does not map well to the current proposition.
Just like you never see the spelling "Germany" in Germany. It's not a German term, it's an English term referencing a German ruling family, similar to Charlemagne.
AFAIK it’s Metformin you’re not supposed to have with alcohol. You can drink on Wegovy and Ozempic, it’s just highly unlikely to seem very appealing, in a “well that sounded good but I drank half of my first drink and don’t really want the rest” sort of way.

I've implemented a DSL for casino slot machine mathematics. I originally did it as an internal DSL with C#, but it was too difficult to use. Many of my customers solve these problems using Microsoft Excel, so a programming style environment is difficult, and embedding into an actual programming language even worse.

I then redid it as an external DSL, which has been successful, but a vast amount of work. A more limited environment has a lot of advantages for my users.
Oh, no, it's a well-known approach to handling bug reports.

Years ago, I worked with several of IBM's AIX kernel team; they talked about a well-defined, 3-level triage process where the third level was the actual developers. Unfortunately, they were still getting too many bug reports which was impacting productivity. IBM added a fourth level between the first level, call-center tech support, and the second level (I can't remember their term for this, basically people who would try to reproduce the bug).

I got to experience this system a little later, working as a sysadmin for a CS department. I made a clear bug report, including code to reproduce it, showing a denial of service attack against AIX 3.2.5 (and possibly earlier). The first layer of support read me the relevant manual page and pointed out I was using "undocumented behavior". I said, "Yes, but DOS attack." The bug report was closed at the second level as user error according to the documentation. I still feel bad that I didn't forward my code to the BUGTRAQ mailing list.

Tl;dr: The more barriers you put into place, the fewer problems you have to actually handle.
> Windows is going down the toilet fast, and Linux lacks the holistic element, so having something that combines the greatest visual design language - mid to late 90s interface guidelines - with the powerful Unix shell would be a huge boon for desktop computing.

Which was the argument against prohibiting smoking at school:

> John Tolton, then chairman of the Metro Toronto School Board, was having none of it. Tolton doubted whether schools even had the right to ban smoking, and if they did, “it will merely drive smoking underground.” (He was also unconvinced of the dangers of second-hand smoke.) There were other concerns, including the belief that bans would drive smokers off school property, inciting conflicts with neighbours and exacerbating absenteeism. Some parents gave their kids permission to smoke, so (the thinking went) better to offer them a regulated space in which to do so.

Why won't the war on phones be as effective as the war on tobacco?
> It’s kind of obvious, isn’t it? Every mouse now has a scroll wheel (or corresponding mechanism

The god damn scroll wheel does not work in half of the cases in Windows.
When you have work to do is very annoying.
Between "this framework was requesting cookie data too often" and "this framework was incorrectly caching cookies and causing weird data inconsistency errors that frustrate users" the former is probably better, and they fixed that. The latter is something that isn't straightforward to fix without introducing the former issue.
Funny you should say that, when the article specifically mentions how people said the same thing about "attempting" to ban tobacco cigarettes in schools last century, and how-- lo and behold-- while cigarettes do still exist, they're now considered socially unacceptable for students to use by all involved parties, and the percentage of students using them is negligible.

I don't necessarily agree with the article's assertion that cigarettes and cell phones are the same kind of problem in need of the same kind of solution (since phones have legitimate use cases outside of the problematic ones, and cigarettes don't). Just wanted to point out that the article specifically called out your argument, and you seem to draw a different conclusion about reality (war on drugs failed) than the article (students no longer smoke).

Congrats on finishing and releasing the game. Some feedback:

- The game crashed during load on Chrome on Android.

- The undo feels really slow. Is is intentional for some kind for artistic effect, or is it related to the tech stack? It feels like a full second, with a really distracting screen fade effect. From the article it seems that the rollback support is one of your core features, but an instant undo is table stakes for this kind of puzzle game. It's not something you should be showcasing by making it slow and have graphical effects.

- Games like this should have a restart level button, not just undo. That'd be the case even if the undo was faster.

- I think the genre convention is that invalid moves don't advance time, but there's a "wait" input. Having to run at walls to get the timing parity right feels just wrong.
