Cell systems still have the ability to push out a message regardless of how "overwhelmed" the towers are. They'll just drop service to some customers while the higher priority emergency message is broadcasted out.

A cell network doing a one-way broadcast text message to all clients is a solved problem. And honestly, I greatly prefer this way to push out an emergency message than assume I'm tuned to a radio station or broadcast TV, two things I'm rarely doing. I'm way more likely to be listening or watching local or streaming media instead of watching broadcast TV. Or even just not be doing any of that at all. Lots of people I know wouldn't even be able to tune into a broadcast TV or FM radio station outside of their cars.
Disk redundancy won't help guarantee torn page protection if the writes across the redundant disks are not coordinated to have one start after the other finishes such that there is always have one copy of the page that is not currently being written.

Pedantry is pretty boring, it's well understood what "zero emission" means in this context, being pedant about it is purely noise.

As is your whole comment to be honest.
If you have to check up on someone to make sure they aren't screwing up (or misleading you), then you don't actually trust them. Thus, "trust but verify" is not trust at all.

Show HN: GuestCast – A Tool to Follow people not podcasts
Hey HN!

I had some free time and built something I always wanted to exist!

GuestCast is a simple way to follow creators across multiple podcasts.

Simply enter the name of the person you want to follow and GuestCast will generate a RSS feed of all their appearances across every podcast.

Follow this feed just like any other podcast and it will automatically update when they appear in new episodes.

Searching for the person on a podcast app will give you a list of all the episodes they appeared in, but it can be difficult to keep track of what you’ve already listened to, and you won’t get notified when they appear on a new episode.

By following a dedicated RSS feed you’ll be able to track everything and get notified when a new episode drops!

A pretty cool feature: GuestCast is able to filter for podcasts where the person is hosting and ones where the person is a guest. By default it will only show podcasts that they guest on, but you can change that with a simple toggle.

Make Waves | https://makewaves.fm | Lead developer & Marketing Manager | FULLTIME | ONSITE / HYBRID (>= one day in the office a week) | Amsterdam, NL

Make Waves was founded in 2021 by two brothers with a track record in the music and tech industry. We’re building a kinder, more helpful platform for independent artists to release their music and build a following. By providing artists with easy-to-understand tools and insights in a notoriously over-complicated industry, we want to empower DIY artists to control their careers without making concessions.

In the last years we’ve built the platform from the ground up and are now entering a phase where we’re focusing on growth and maturity. We’ve also secured funding for the next three to four years, so we can provide a stable job with great growth potential.

We are actively looking for a lead developer (with a hope you can transition into a CTO role in the near future) and a marketing manager. Unfortunately we can’t offer relocation or visa sponsorship and are only considering candidates that are able to join us in the office weekly.

Check out https://kb.makewaves.fm/general/careers for more details.
In a few states you are allowed to pay people with 'severe' disabilities under minimum wage.

The idea is to incentivize companies to hire these people for otherwise unprofitable work and mostly to get the disabled out of the house and earning some money that they otherwise would not.

For example, most of the prescription glasses made in the US are made by blind people under such a scheme.

Honestly, it sounds terribly exploitative. But, from what I understand, these schemes are mostly successful in that the disabled are happy with it along with the employers.
SEEKING WORK | Cambridge, UK | Remote preferred (occasional travel OK)

Offering hands-on software development and technical leadership services, I specialise in:

• Mathematical, scientific and engineering applications

• Custom user interfaces and data visualisation

• Software for hardware (IoT, lab equipment, embedded)

I have over 20 years’ experience developing software, mostly working with smaller organisations. If your situation looks anything like these, I could probably help you:

• A scale-up struggling to overcome early tech debt and transition to more sustainable development

• A hardware start-up looking to outsource software development to a multi-skilled freelancer

• A software start-up that can’t hire permanent senior+ level developers fast enough to hit targets

• A research group needing a professional to implement models and visualisations in good code

Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React or Vue for UIs) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more mathematical or hardware-related work. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.

If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.
If you can turn on TCP keepalive for the server connections, you would still have a timeout, even if it's typically 2 hours. Then if someone wants to keep connections open and run you out of sockets and processes, they've got to keep sockets open on their end (but they might run a less expensive userspace tcp)

You can belt and suspenders with an external tool that watches for sshd in pre-auth for your real timeout and kills it or drops the tcp connection [1] (which will make the sshd exit in a more orderly fashion)

It seems like Tesla can stay in a hype state as long as there are big unknowns: the current ones being what will the effect be of AI + humanoid-AI-robots (optimus) bring to bear on their situation.
I (Firefox developer working on anything media related) got in contact with the dev on Twitter, and he told me that Web Codecs was missing (and we're shipping this in a month or so, it's been in Nightly for some time), and something to save project file to disk (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/show...).

So I spoofed the user-agent in a nightly build here on my Linux desktop workstation, then had to alias one method that we should have implemented years ago but only have with a `moz` prefix (`HTMLMediaElement.mozCaptureStream`). This is on us to fix.

Then it looks like a worker script is served with the `Content-Type` `text/html` instead of `application/javascript` or something like that. We also have a pref flip to bypass that check, so I did that, but this is on the dev to fix.

When you do this it works, I've loaded project demos containing videos, audio, various things composited on top, scrubbed the timeline aggressively in a debug build, moved things around in various bits of the interface and also in the rendering frame, etc., things seem to work as they should, perf is as I'd expect it to be (and again, I'm running it in a debug build with optimizations disabled for anything media related, enabled for other parts of the browser).

What's missing is `window.showSaveFilePicker` and file system related stuff. It's possible to use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System... instead (that we ship, e.g. Photoshop on the Web uses it). We think that it's much less scary than giving access to the file system to a content process of a Web browser. Maybe because videos can sometimes be extremely big files, direct access to the FS could be of use there. Thankfully, we also ship extremely modern video encoders to make them tiny instead, but that's currently a limitation Firefox has, for better or worse.

Agreed. Musk’s free speech is an intuition based on perspective
To add to what the other guy said, rotors (by extension Clifford Algebra) is better. A fatal issue with Quaternions is that while they handle rotations perfectly, things like the norm or cross product of two vectors is messy.

This is unsurprising when several of your coordinates become -1 when multiplied. That's why historically Gibbs Heaviside (dot and cross product) became the dominant vector algebra over quaternions.

Clifford Algebra is the better than both, as you can seamlessly do dot, cross (wedge in CA) and can also embed quaternions within the system. I've heard that it can also accommodate some of the nonmetrical aspects that make differential forms appealing for manifold integration, but that's currently outside of my range of knowledge.

I get the impression you are talking about taking over legacy code.

Well, the invariants you want to test are what people want the software to do. If you create those test from the beginning, there's nothing to guess. But of course, if people write a bunch of code and throw that knowledge away, you have to recover it somehow, and it will necessarily involve a lot of guessing.
I’ve written a few toy port knocking implementations, and doing it right is hard.

If your connections crap and there’s packet loss, some of the sequence may be lost.

Avoiding replay attacks is another whole problem - you want the sequence to change based on a shared secret and time or something similar (eg: TOTP to agree the sequence).

Then you have to consider things like NAT…
