It was relevant, timely, legitimate geographically targeted advertising for most newspapers. The subscriptions fed the advertising, which fed the subscriptions, but subscription revenue was usually a tenth what advertising revenue was. Information for subscribers was collectively subsidized by businesses because they were in competition with each other and subscribers weren't.

Newspapers didn't understand that their own business model wasn't two separate modes of "journalism" and "advertising" until it was too late. They were always in the relevant information (both news and advertising) business, so Google SUPER ate their lunch. Many news organizations died and some limp along not knowing this, but the industry as a whole was fat and complacent. There was a lot of money in newspapers, especially before it was legal to own multiple news sources. Local newspapers being able to fly reporters to major national events type of money (in private jets for the larger ones).

I spent a few years at one of the larger surviving independent statewide papers in the US as part of a team specifically hired to "fix" the subscriber and advertiser losses. They told us the scope was business-wide, but in reality all leadership wanted was someone to tell them that they're smart, special people who just need to use manipulative tactics harder. Nonprofit and community focused papers are springing up, and doing well, but some old timers are holding out for something around the corner that will magically return them to 1000%+ profit margins instead of learning how to be a normal business since they missed their chance to be Google.
Kind of a long-winded way of saying "I agree"
The "good" news is that the scale of the problem to those that know explicitly precludes any of these scams being useful. They are almost tautologically insignificant.

But politically they can have a minor delaying impact, like birds killed by windmills (1/1000th the effect of skyscrapers), vids of collapsing/exploding windmills in the middle of nowhere (compared to oil transit and storagw explosions)
You said it first! I remember when Docker appeared and I was trying to understand what Docker offered beyond configuring the operating system until I realized there was nothing to understand!

I told this because one of my companies do Microsoft Windows ad-hoc virtualization at a user space level and tried to figure out how to benchmark against Docker.
Europe, I guess. Lots of technologically advanced countries with high urbanization rates and population density, none of the large swathes of undeveloped land in the middle like the US enjoys.

Natural gas is extracted from underground. If you don't actively drill for it, it's not coming out. If you push CO2 into natural gas reservoirs, and you plug the pipe, it will not come out. For millions of years. The only way for it to come out is for someone to actively drill and try to take it out.
Hey, that's my PR yah ... it's strange.
This is the Sun's magnetic field. It reverses on 11 year cycle, the same cycle as sunspots. It has reversed multiple times during your lifetime.

The current cycle seems to be stronger than usual. And produce some strong solar flares recently. Those could cause problems for electrical grid. But there have been stronger cycles back in the 1950s.
That might be surprisingly soon, actually. The panels themselves are relatively cheap, and you're spending about half of the total cost on everything besides the panels. If switching to higher-efficiency panels allows you to install 5 panels instead of 6, the resulting savings in labor might already pay for a decent chunk of it.
To those who can’t see why you need to distinguish between crawlers and user agents the reason is accessibility.

Some people are blind, others have physical disabilities, some of us have astigmatisms or ADHD and can’t use badly designed ad-laden websites.

The flight path for the missed approach is already in the flight management system, and the autopilot will fly it much more accurately than a human pilot. In this case it seems that either the missed approach was being flown by hand, or else the pilot's inadvertant push on the control column overrided the autopilot.

Anyway, the point is that if "the computers" had been flying, this would never have happened in the first place. Perhaps we just need one pilot to take over in case there is some emergency that can't be handled by the autopilot.
I have worked with people that have a command of a given programming language, and algorithms such that it appears to be magic to me. (C++ is common for this problem).

> (which are notably not the same as crawling)

Is that a distinction without a difference?

I think the robots.txt RFC was addressed specifically to crawlers; so technically "ad hoc" requests generated automatically (i.e. by robots) aren't included. But the distinction operators would like to make is between humans and automata. Whether some automaton is a crawler or not isn't relevant.
So like:

No you don't. But you MIGHT, by accident or intent. So back up everything first anyway. In fact back up everything daily anyway, anyway. It's a good standard practice.

Why do articles like this get written? This is a minor hiccup that was pretty far away from disaster. Maybe a better title would be 'a worse than normal approach happened resulting in nothing of consequence'. This is stoking unreasonable fear to the detriment of the industry, passengers and journalism as a whole.
> If you don't actively drill for it, it's not coming out.

Please, we know that's a lie because there are thousands of unplugged drill site holes when it comes to natural gas. This is what methane flaring is about. They're constantly burning or otherwise leaking methane into the air. This is the best that human drilling has to offer, and it's piss poor. We can expect no better in terms of quality or depth for CO2 storage.
There roughly 3 TRILLION excess tons of co2 in the atmosphere, and God knows how much is in the oceans.

I have no idea what the funny numbers alleged cost per ton for carbon removal in this report, but even if it is down to 20$/ton (100$ per ton was more realistic a few years ago) ...

Then do the math. We have a sunk cost of something like 50 trillion dollars using removal using the most optimistic of methods and assuming we stopped carbon emissions today, and it's probably more like 200 trillion in reality.

The petroleum industry would really like us to pay them to clean up their problem to the the of that amount I'm sure.
Can a court control a company against the repeated votes of share holders?

Can a shareholder vote overturn a court decision? No. So what is the practical impact here? It doesn't change a board without outsiders, which was one problem with the pay package. It doesn't retrofit an arms-length negotiation, which was another problem. This isn't a new incentive agreement because crafting a replacement with the same outcome and same tax impacts is not possible. As far as I can tell Elon can't collect on the incentives, which also means shareholders take no hit on dilution, yet.
Metallic hydrogen only forms when hydrogen is stable molecules of H2. The Sun is way too hot to form metallic hydrogen. The Sun is completely ionized into plasma.

It isn't surprising that there is messy magnetic field when Sun is pure conductor.

Metallic hydrogen probably has something to do with magnetic field on Jupiter.

DDD is about a lot more than just defining what it calls ‘ubiquitous language’. It helps you figure out how to constrain which concerns of the language used in one domain need to affect how other domains think about those things - through a model it calls ‘bounded contexts’. Like, in your fraud prevention context, ‘frozen accounts’ might have all sorts of nuances - there might be a legal freeze or a collections freeze on the account, with different consequences; outside the domain, though, the common concept of ‘frozen’ is all that’s needed. DDD gives you some tools for thinking about how to break your overall business down into bounded contexts that usefully encapsulate complexity, and define the relationships between those domains so you can manage the way abstractions leak between them.

No silver bullet, of course, but, like most architectural frameworks, some useful names for concepts that give you the metavocabulary for talking about how to talk about your software systems.

This brief chapter from the O’Reilly Learning DDD book gives a good flavor of some of the value of the concepts it introduces: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-domain-driven-...

Are the tech bros reducing their margins? Or is this just more cost to consumers, because we're already in a recession and that won't fly.
How? There’s a significant portion of the world/year where duck curve evening peak is after sunset and PV alone is never feasible and so batteries/wind/etc are necessary.
Weight is relatively irrelevant, as long as people can lift them within health and safety regulations. For shipping in container ships or on trucks, at this order of density magnitude, it's ~free. Re. "Installation and labor" ... many issues here from a western context are likely safety/regulatory driven and not technically driven. In any event, weight reductions are meaningless if you aren't allowed to install it on the roof, or if the first gust of wind breaks it in half because it's acting like a sail. In many cases likely the mounting/frame weighs more than the panel.

Macro-demographically, with more people moving in to apartments globally, the residential roof thing is more a temporary western thing than a utility scale solution to global residential macro energy needs. The Chinese know this better than anyone.

The true economics of industrial processes are rarely clear to consumers.
> That's not what the graphs show

The graphs you provided show that coal and usage are still growing in absolute numbers. They're only going down in perentages. So, aside from oil (which is mostly still there), nothing was displaced.

The only significant thing we learn is that we've doubled our electricity usage since 2000. The share of low carbon electricity generation barely moved since 1985. Renewables just helped avoid it crumble due to hydro not being scalable.
Hell yeah. Big win for the engineers here. Nobody builds better solar panels than us.
Missing feature implies an error at the Requirements level.

This does not impact readability or the idea of "good code" in my opinion.

You could have an application that is missing features which still contains examples of "good code". Learning about "good code" by reading the source code of this application won't really give any direct hints of missing features...the granularity is different.
In highly regulated industries like banking or other highly-secure environments, it’s a gradient between an internal wiki or FAQs etc, to what you have as an example of something more expansive and explicit, to an entire book, to an entire department or business unit for more important concepts that may vary between jurisdictions or be less explicitly defined, but no less important or impactful to the running of the business or group.

Show HN: Alpha Demo of NotePad.ai (open source)
Hi all, I threw together a small prototype I am calling “Notepad.ai”. A new take on UIs for interacting with LLMs.

While I enjoy using LLM’s in the chat format I wanted to see what it would be like to do it in a more long form style.

It let’s you write in a pretty free form, much like Window’s Notepad, but you can choose to hit ctrl+[ to analyze the text with a preset prompt of your choosing.

It has a few other small features. It’s WIP and very experimental. I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts.

An interesting field you may want to check out is prototyping physical custom assistive devices for disabled / differently-abled people.

Examples: 3D printed bookmark with a "line slot" to allow people with dyslexia to read without distractions, customized wheelchair / scooters for kids (since they are smaller, its hard to find the right size for them as they grow), to prosthetic legs and more.

A plan would be to do a search for "makerspaces in (CITY)", find the one with the best reviews and take a tour. You're guaranteed to meet interesting creative people. Makerspaces always need tech/coders (from setting up apps, to programming robots, to community infra like setting up Discourse servers, helping makerspace entrepreneurs setup an ecommerce site, etc).

Best of luck!

I remember that when I first encountered Ventoy a while back, it appeared to be just a bootable ISO pre-configured with Syslinux. I didn't use it much, since I already had my own Syslinux config with a variety of bootable environments that I found useful already set up.

Has it involved into something more complex? It seems odd to complain about binary blobs in something that is meant to be a tool for aggregating pre-existing binary boot media into a single image.

You mentioned a public university as an example, but it's important to note that such institutions rely on funding from fees, taxes, and donations. Taxes are generated from profitable activities, donations often come from the surplus income of profitable entities, and fees are paid from income earned through profitable endeavors. Thus, wealth creation, measured by profit, is essential for spending.

Non-profit organizations, on the other hand, depend on donations or service payments for their revenue. While they do not declare a "profit" at tax time, any surplus they generate is typically reinvested in their operations or distributed to employees or members. Therefore, while they don't show a profit for tax purposes, they do generate surplus funds (aka profits) or depend on for funds from other activities that do.
