I've always wanted a small battery in my mini PC so I could move it from place to place without a reboot of the OS.

If I had that, I probably wouldn't also get a battery-powered monitors, so I'd still need electricity to interact with the mini PC.

Ah, yes. The logical conclusion.

The code provided was not real test code. The only reason `assert True` is there is to highlight the fact that the issue was with generation, and not any other part of the test.

This is really the point.

Like I said, Clojure’s spec (with or without test.check) has no trouble.
Populations growth rates have fallen very fast around the world sometimes with in the span of one or two generations. The global fertility rate has fallen to 2.3. Sub Saharan Africa is one of the few places left with what we would consider large growth rates. Increased standards of living in these places we typically imported people from can quickly cut off this flow and put western nations at risk, whereas we thought this flow was unlimited.

Add to this the cost of living in western countries has spiraled out of control recently, the idea that "Just move to X, things will be better" is fading from what it used to be.
Hey,

Hit me at elliot@edusign.com if you have some time, I might be interested in what you are doing!
that's strange excuse, if you don't work from 9 to 5 pretending to innovate but don't everyone loses.
People bashing Russia military but asking why Russia is attacking Ukraine are not figuring out that is exactly the reason for the war.

Ukraine border is too close to Moscow, it is easy to go from Ukraine to Moscow and Russia know they would fail to defend themselves from a NATO land invasion from there. Thus why they are willing to pay a very high price to ensure this won't happen.
On some cases it may or may not be easier and faster to hit the high seas instead of bothering with ripping :)

I have a quite big userscript that fixes all the little annoyances I've been finding on the sites I often visit. Is the click area too small? I fixed it. Is there a really big form that when I select a specific value some other elements need to be at a specific state? It's fixed now. Did we get a new business lead and we need to enter all their information to our CRM? I can now paste that info and the form will be automatically filled.

I find usescripts way more easy to update than an extension, so that's what I've been sticking with for quite a few years now.
Several years ago, I picked up an old SmartBoard projector. The thing has no buttons, it's meant to be plugged into a remote control module attached to the board, or controlled over serial as part of a room system, or through its Ethernet connection.

I don't remember how I got started initially, there was some investigation of the network protocol it used. It was some crusty old standard that used an odd command scheme, but I managed to divine what magic packets to send to wake it up and select an input.

I ended up rolling it all into my first and only Android app. It eventually became a full remote control for the thing, including a sleep timer that would turn it off after an hour.

It was extremely basic and horribly ugly. I never looked into automatic discovery of the device on the network, so it had a hardcoded IP address. But it worked well enough to get a free projector running.

Apart from that, every programmer has thrown together innumerable scripts and throwaway programs for one-off tasks. My most recent was a thing that takes in a Diablo 2 save, then sets the version number and recalculates the checksum. My pirated copy is a bit old and won't accept saves made with modern editors. I don't know how many scripts I've written that walk through a file system to find or change something in the contained files.

I also have a version of Klondike solitaire written in C++ with SFML. I initially wanted to build a neural network to play solitaire, but after building the game itself, I found in my research that solitaire is actually a very difficult problem and far beyond my skills.
This far along into the war, their personnel have already figured out how to engage ATACMS with the S-300 and S-400 (although recent losses of S-400 units to ATACMS show they aren't doing really well at it [0] ). We already know they're jamming GPS and ATACMS is still getting through with inertial guidance. Maybe some of this newfound knowledge will benefit their engineers somehow when designing new weapons, but it's not very new stuff, and their industry is not well positioned to exploit it.

I worked recently with a guy who learned all of his big words from books. Very, very old books.

It was exhausting. And English is my first language. I felt sorry for my Indian coworkers. Jesus man, stop trying to look smart and just talk like a normal person. The intelligence is in the ideas not the words used to convey them.
"Which tends to boil down to just treating everyone like a member of your own culture "

Not at all. If you want it in programming language:

- there is a general human interface, a bit like you talk with people online (ideally like around here on HN)

- then there is the more specialized interface with your local countrymen

- and way more specialized, close friends, family - you can adress them in a way deeper interface

Or do you talk around here, like you talk with your peers around you? Would you know I am german, if I would not have disclosed it?
There's also someone building a factory to make iron-air batteries for grid storage. They're way cheaper than lithium or even sodium, with one of the most common materials on the planet, but only about 50% efficient. They're too heavy for vehicles, and have lower power output so aren't much good as peakers, but if you want four days of grid backup like we'd need with a 100% wind/solar grid, they're great.

100% agree. My friends and I have played WoW on and off since release, and I never thought much of it. I could easily step away from it and used it mostly as a way to keep in touch with that group. We recently found out how much of a toll it has taken on one of ours friends lives who has pretty much always played even while the rest of the group was taking breaks.
I don't think anyone should trust anyone claiming to be a single source of truth. But that isn't what this legislation is about.

It does, unfortunately, go along with other problems we must solve, such as encouraging people to rebuild trust in media organisations, and encouraging media organisations to earn that trust.
I think also Russia doesn't want the headache of defending against a nuclear attack launched from Eastern Ukraine or the headache of worrying whether anti-ballistic missiles stationed in Eastern Ukraine might provide a decisive factor in a neutralization of Russia's ability to launch a nuclear retaliatory strike.

The US really doesn't have to think about these things because there are oceans between it and any potential adversary powerful enough to threaten it: any defense of the US would rely mostly on its navy and air force. In contrast, the most destructive wars are those fought with land forces, e.g., WW I, WW II, the Chinese Civil War and the one time (namely, the US Civil War) that a big land war was fought in North America. (The American Revolutionary War was a mild affair compared to the 4 wars I just listed because unlike the 4 wars I just listed, the homeland of one of the combatants was never in jeopardy.)

The US security establishment is privileged because it does not need to become competent at sharing a land mass (or, worse, a plain such as the European Plain shown in the link below) with nations with high military potential:

It basically takes a couple json files for configuration, and some markdown.

Yep - that makes sense. The Query pane can be collapsed, effectively hiding the SQL from the end user. This is indeed how a number of people use Explorer. But it could certainly be more optimized, in the direction you suggested. I'll think about how this might be improved!
Made a browser app which used androids web view, added a few buttons and gave it to a friend and forgot about it. About a year later he messaged me he still used that dumb app. Lol

Also made a notes app for Android that just had one text view with only options to edit text and save it. Used it for years for pasting random stuff, and gave it to a twitter friend and forgot about it. Connected with that friend years later and he said he used that app as well :)

God yes, I made a personal API thing called mi that I've maintained over the last few years. It manages a few things, but the main thing it does now is repost my blogposts on a few other social channels when I publish new posts. I'm also working on having it manage the list of events I'm going to attend so that I can get reminded to create "trip report" posts.

I spend about 30 minutes a month maintaining it on average and I recently rewrote it in Go so that I could bring it back into my /x/ monorepo.

I have iOS automations that query and post to it about once every day. Eventually it's also going to handle photo uploads so that I can yeet it a photo and get the embed code for it shoved into a buffer note on my phone.

Such stuff usually costs me a few frantic evenings to build the first version and then minor maintenance.
I wrote some PowerQuery functions and VBA macros to facilitate client invoicing that cut down ~2 hours of work to ~10 minutes (and shrinking, as I toy around with the scripts to delegate more of the work to the machine each time).

The billing data is pulled from an external vendor's portal. The contact data is pulled from our internal CRM. Both sets of data are then cleaned up and merged with PowerQuery, and then VBA is used to send emails out to clients.

I probably spent in the range of 3-4 hours getting a working version going and ~20 hours optimizing during downtime at work. I genuinely find it enjoyable to work on—there is something immensely satisfying about automating rote work away.

I use this once per month (a billing cycle). It will probably never see the light of day for anyone else, at least in its current state, because I work in a low-tech, nonprofit environment and using this kind of tool would be daunting for my co-workers (for reference, mail merging is sometimes intimidating at my workplace).
People dies when politicians lie.
People dies when politicians decide what's the truth.

What is proposed here is that the truth is decided on a judicial trial based on facts and proofs.

If you think it will not work because the politicians control the judicial system, then this new law is 100% harmless, because they can already very easily arrest their opponent by just saying "they killed an old lady, let's have a trial to see if they are a murderer".

Man I wish I could have gotten into Factorio the same way other people have. I bought it very early and have been trying to play it at least once every 6 months or so since then, but somehow it just didn't "click" with me.

I think it's because of the graphics, while they look cool in close-up, they are just a bit too cluttered and "washed out" when zooming out, making it hard to see the whole picture of your factory.

I will probably try this one as well but I don't have very high hopes...
Intel's bad year worsens, with analyst decrying company as 'profoundly broken'
It’s really quite reasonable. The basic capabilities of the ATACMS are not hugely changed and have been available for decades. Russia does not have an equivalent that is demonstrably deployed effectively. They’re also not the focal point of US military development.

The quality of Russian equipment being deployed right now is really bad. The limiting factor here is not “science”.

Fun bonus if you want to watch some people die:

It is entirely legal to shout fire in a crowded theater, and the case in which that was mentioned positively was one that jailed people for speaking against the WWI draft.

It is not, however, legal to lie when you've sworn in court to not lie, whether or not people get hurt. The rationale for making deliberate lying illegal for politicians is because they're your sworn representatives in government, or vying to be, not because it hurts people. Any number of legal things you can do will result in claims of hurt from other people.
With earnest effort reverse engineering the secrets of that defected tank, Russian engineers and technicians will soon learn the secrets of... the T-64. Bound to come in handy.
>cannot get this system to idle below 80W

You can't do anything about it. It's a limitation of your Ryzen's chiplets based design where the ineficient IO die sucks a lot of power leading to poor idle efficiency.

Intel chips, Ryzen laptop chips and the new G chips like the one in the article don't have such issues because they're a monolithic die.

> These systems cost a lot to develop. If they are worthless then that money could definitely have been better spent elsewhere.

We're basically using Ukraine to dispose of an outdated system ("In 2007, the U.S. Army terminated the ATACMS program due to cost, ending the ability to replenish stocks"; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM-140_ATACMS) we intend to deprecate.

The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Strike_Missile is intended to replace it and has seen its first deliveries last year.

There's little indication they're worthless, and an article breathlessly citing someone saying "This is a signal to the whole world, not just the West, that Western weapons are no match for Russian arms" is not a change to that.
Yeah, quite a few! Here's the list:
https://untested.sonnet.io/Projects+and+apps+I+built+for+my+...

Two highlights:

Enso (https://enso.sonnet.io) - I use it every morning and generally keep it open throughout the day: https://untested.sonnet.io/Stream+of+Consciousness+Morning+N...

Sit. (https://sit.sonnet.io) - I use it every morning and on some afternoons (I start my main job after lunch)

I made those for myself, and made them public after chatting with friends/colleagues, that's why they're available online now.

I also have a bunch of small scripts/apps/productivity tools (automate boring job tasks).
I created a command line app for applying jinja2 to orgmode. I did it to scratch the itch of being able to generate pretty latex PDFs for my CV and for printed letters with content from my note taking app on my phone.

I published it on pypi/github out of habit, but it's primarily about scratching my itch and I doubt anybody except me will really use it. There's some interest in doing this type of thing with org mode but it all centers around LISP and emacs (neither of which I like).
Very similar here... same for my primary gmail address... the most annoying thing is the "credit monitoring" that comes with a few of my credit cards is all but worthless... I get constant notices that my "email is compromised" but absolutely no detail on how/where/what exactly is compromised, with is like saying, your email is public.

While I do get a few regular phone calls a week, they're all in my contacts and I don't answer if the number isn't... at least 2/3 the time if I decide to answer as I'm expecting an out of band call, it's spam. On the flip side, I am wanting to setup for "your code is XXXXXX" as a verification on a personal website I'm working on to allow for public users. I know it doesn't add too much, but it's enough to reduce the noise. I'm not even sure what more hoops I need to jump through with Twilio to get to send said messages. I'm not a company, and not sending any kind of marketing campaign.
Yes many things actually.

- A mac app to generate to read text as playlists from openai tts api (my gf can't use the api)

- A automatic visual scraper that can get arbitray information from any website (e.g go to target and get the top 3 milk prices or get the licensing information from this opensource project)

- An ETL tool (called tabmaster) that can sync arbitrary json apis into postgres tables. with automatic schema inference and deduplication logic

- A really good OCR tool that enriches scanned PDFs with accurate words and not the bs that adobe ships

all really useful and used daily.

EDIT: formatting
Personally I’m not a fan of Go’s default zero-initialisation. I’ve seen many bugs caused by adding a new field, forgetting to update constructors to intialise these fields to “non-zero” values which caused bugs. I prefer Rust’s approach where one has to be explicit.

That being said it’s way less complex than C++’s rules and that’s welcomef.

You jump to an extreme form of accountability when frankly any accountability at all would be a step wise improvement.

Time and time again the populous demonstrates it does not care about individually broken promises because we have aggregated power and choice far too much.

We often vote on representatives, but can't vote on individual issues, and even then binary, non-ranked voting further removed our individual power.
The probability distribution in my case seemed to be a single result (the zero matrix) with P=1.

It didn't really stop other developments did it?

The computer came since the 80s though the real killer app was the internet which came much later. Smartphones were around way before we figured out what they were great for.

The one thing I don't get though is the expectation that AR/VR must be for everything and everyone. I don't think that will be the case at least until the tech can mature at least a decade. Doesn't mean it can't add value in specific usecases though.
Do people in the US genuinely believe that? Makes me think of that the Germans thought of the Soviets before June of 1941.
