Point of clarification: I've used SQL almost my entire development career, with multiple RDBMS engines, I've simply never looked at a book solely on SQL.
Ente Auth or bitwarden builtin one or keepassXC builtin one.

Migrating from Authy is a headache, though you don’t have to reset the tokens. I found a way to do it (1), but I had to do it manually because Authy only exported the email/user and the token. Now, if you are like how I used to be, having the same email for different accounts, the exported JSON will be confusing and there's no way to tell which account is for which service. Only in the Authy UI can you tell. I had to follow the order of the JSON and the app, one by one, for my 700+ accounts, and verify that it works by going to the service site and testing the generated code from the new app, and also changing the email to a unique one. It took a whole week!

Edit: to add, I wouldn’t recommend using Yubico or hardware-based ones unless you will have two or more replicas, losing them is easy compared to having your tokens backed up in an encrypted KeepassXC db for example.

The point is that 99% of the contracts have no "dynamic prices", they have few different tariffs established up front an year for the next. In this case you do not need a smart meter to shift load. You simply look at the "current year tariffs" and that's is. If we have dynamic prices than we need a standard data bus for every home appliance connectable to a personal automation or directly to the meter, without that manual load shifting is extremely limited.

In France there is a VERY LIMITED system allow a two wire connection for big appliances were the meter simply tell "cheap or expensive" state and the appliance now that "now the electricity is cheaper, now more expensive". It's way too limited. New homes have since some years a mandatory mitering but without dynamic prices and made to be piloted and throttled loads it's just expensive eye candy stuff.

Personally I have automated via HA as much as I can but such automation is essentially just switches HA can open or close via Shelly integration, there is no real smartness in all appliances even if it's damn cheap adding it from the initial design phase.
Ask HN: Is a portfolio a real need for a junior?
Hi,
I'm a junior dev currently looking for a job. I'm struggling a bit to find a position, mostly because I lack experience.

Many people on the Internet suggest that juniors should make a portfolio to prove their motivation or take part in open source projects.
I am a bit doubtful about the idea of a portfolio, one could easily copy paste some random project from Github. Taking part in open source projects sounds like a better idea.

But honestly, do recruiters really care about all that? On the few interviews I had, only one recruiter asked if have a portfolio and it didn't seem a big deal for him when I said no.

So, what do you think is the best strategy? Make a portfolio, take part in open source or simply keep going applying to jobs?

Thanks in advance!
Nothing in your description sounds difficult to do in powershell. You can certainly output "many-things" from a part of the pipeline that takes "single-things" as input. Crawling files is a single command, then you can do whatever you want with each one in the next part of the pipeline - "map" from file info object to something else (e.g. custom object with filename, size, checksum, etc props) 1-1, multiplex each file into N output objects, buffer file inputs until some heuristic is met then emit outputs, etc.
Can you link to the docs you’re talking about? The docs I see say you need to have a legacy account.
those protocols that can be configured from iOS are already blocked in Russia. You'll need an obfuscated Wireguard or other stealth protocols to make it work there. You can't configure them from the settings, but you can download the app and just add the configs there. That's what Le VPN does with Le VPN Give - they just give away the coupons to generate a VPN config, which you then just copy into the open source VPN app, which is still available in App Store.
>I don't want to live in a world which is controlled unilaterally, and intransparently by a group of people who assume they have a full picture of the situation and assume they understand moral completely, and also don't think it necessary to explain how they think so highly of themselves.

We already do; uncertainty is fundamental at all levels.
Except much of the media in question are not the UK's media, being owned by a US citizen, Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch had to renounce his Australian citizenship as the US doesn't allow foreigners to own media like Fox there, but the UK doesn't have such basic precautions against foreign influence, and ends up with grotesque situations like Eugene Lebedev (now Lord Lebedev), heir of a KGB agent, owning a major newspaper, The Independent.
Whenever you date the writing down of the early chapters of Genesis, it's clear that the flood story heavily copied directly from the Epic of Gilgamesh. The parallels, down to little details, are too strong to be simply due to similar stories floating around.

I don't see why this should be called a "pious fraud." Babylon was a massive cultural center of that time, and the land of Israel was a relative backwater on its periphery. Babylon would have exerted an enormous cultural influence on the surrounding peoples, including the Israelites.

That must be a regional thing. In the PNW, my power rate during most of the day is twice what it is at night, and during the evening peak it doubles again.

It’s still the case in Canada because our peak electricity usage is driven by summer daytime aircon and solar is a small percentage of generation.

Heating is still primarily fossil fuel, for now.

Night time loads are generally low with big baseload hydro and nuclear generation in the more populated states/provinces.
I have no idea how this relates to the conversation

Its a fragile complex structure, that would have to be disassembled into pieces loaded into cargo bay and than landed.
It could just be telling it what your time-of-use rates and hours are. I think most places with variable rates at this point are on a schedule that does not often change, only a few places have completely dynamic pricing that would need real time information from the grid operator.
I agree, I think the kyria, lily58 (and its derivative lotus58) are decent options, though the BFO9000 could also work as the ultimate split keyboard haha
Why not make one?
These functions do not change fridge temperature, choose when to run the defrost functions for no-frost units (a quick wall heating to melt the ice and quickly came back to normal), choose to run or not some ancillary functions (like making ice cubes) etc. They are VERY chatty https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38984609 but not much useful.

Shifting loads for hot water, if you have big enough reservoirs on contrary change MUCH the game, being able to shift some loads automatically, like leaving a dishwasher or a washing machines, a pumped irrigation systems and so on might significantly change the overall bill to makes investments in that sense meaningful.

Without knowing your particular case, DTrace does too - it’d certainly be tricky to use if you’re trying to debug software that “instantly crashes on startup” if it couldn’t do that. “execname” (not “pid”) is where I’d look, or perhaps that part of the predicate is skipable; regardless, should be possible.

Ask HN: Archiving *.edu/CS Data?
I'm sure I'm not the only one that throughout a project or two, has one way or another ended up reading something from a computer science course hosted on an *.edu site. I'm sure if you look in your bookmarks, you'll find at least one or two.

I've often found these resources very useful and informative, and even searching through the directory structures of these sites, have come across many more useful resources and code examples.

Has anyone or is anyone aware of any efforts to archive these sites? For whatever reason I feel the need to hoard some of this data.
If that was your question, you would compare against a number of BLAS libraries, which are already well optimized.

What they are doing here is patting themselves on the back after handicapping the competition. Not to mention that they have given themselves the chance to cherry pick the very best hyperparameters for this particular comparison while BLAS is limited to using heuristics to guess which of their kernels will suit this particular combination of hardware and parameters.

The authors need to be called out for this contrived comparison.
The weak economy existed before Brexit. The UK under Thatcher replaced industry with financial services chicanery, and never recovered from the 2008 crisis. Now it's even lost its business in money-laundering to Dubai and has to rebuild from scratch. Labour has sensible policies on curbing the NIMBYs, mainly Tories, who block desperately-needed construction or building the power grid needed to transport renewable energy from Scotland to England, and that alone could provide a significant boost to growth for a decade or two if they can deliver.
I think that goes without saying. My advice is for the layman.
You can get KNX switch actuators with per-channel True RMS / active power metering. They're like 40 bucks per channel.
Generally Time of Day electricity billing is just an average costing at fixed windows of time. 2-way (or really, just 1-way is actually necessary) comms not required.

Not too common to have totally dynamic pricing. And even if you did, they have general trends.
As a former telco employee and current telco shareholder, can confirm.
If I was writing something for myself, I'd not be sad that someone had beat me to it: it just proves that the idea was a good one!

Then again, none of the many personal projects I've got in my head and on paper (few of them even actually started) are ones that I would release to sell. They are things that I want or that friends/family/other might find useful. Heck, if I had something Alpha quality maybe I'd release that in the hopes someone would see it and think “this idea is useful, but the implementation is shite, I'll write a better one”.
Yes, but what I mean is that even if you move away from FPTP voting, the others all have compromises.

Sooo much whining about the heat outside. God forbid he should have to walk outside knowing its a desert.

Its the dry heat, so its really not that bad. The only thing that makes it bad is perception when rapidly changing from artificially cooled air conditioning. With this in mind I also found it perplexing he kept mentioning climate change, probably because he couldn't take the heat. If you get used to the climate you have substantially less need of environmental control factors like air conditioning, your appetite decreases to compensate for the heat, and instead your thirst for water (not sugary garbage) greatly increases. Those factors result in physiological changes that alters a person's perception to their natural environment, but whatever.

I have lived in Kuwait for several years and its tied with Death Valley, California as the hottest place where people live at around 129.3F. (The actual hottest place on the surface of this planet is the Danakil Depression of Ethiopia.) Yes, I promise, you can get used to 110F degree weather and be just fine for hours so long as you continually hydrate and protect your eyes and skin from excess sun exposure.
Eh. Not worth arguing about.

Not my area of expertise. That's why I pay an accountant.

Have they made even a single working logic gate? The video only shows flipping bits back and forth by direct manipulation.

Edit: I am happy to report yes:

"Last, we explore the metastructure as simple mechanical logic gates. Figure 8 (C and D) demonstrates the achievement of both “OR” and “AND” logic gate operations by using independent bistability in local elements."
It feels like a half baked feature. The other (missing) half would be automatically converting a single value into an array of length 1 when the receiving end expects an array.

This is the point where I'd have thrown it in the trash and given up. I simply don't know how people have the patience to debug past stuff like this: I get that the point of the project is to be cheap and simple, but this is expensive in time and decidedly not simple.

And World War I was lost by Germany because its army was stabbed in the back. And Communism never failed because true communism was never implemented anywhere including the USSR, only state capitalism. And Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

In what markets? In most/all of the markets I can think of, night time rates are still cheaper. Even in markets with large Solar installations (CA, USA) peak rates are still during the day.

The CPU is the bottleneck. All switching is done in software with off the shelf NICs.
This article and most of these thesis assume one thing, you need to make a return of investment from AI while using OpenAI revenue as an anchor to measure it.

What if these AI investment were only to protect or strengthen their current business? AI in Windows, macOS, Adobe, iPhone, Facebook, Instagram may not bring in any additional revenue. But it add additional value to their current product line, making competition harder, further hardening their moat.

Nvidia or Jensen is also smart to play the national security card. Does the European want their model to be all US based. Are the answer culturally correct? Just like how every single country invested in their own Telecom or Internet infrastructure, if this pitch were even half as successful, do these numbers we are looking at even matter when it is spread out across G7 or G20?

While I believe we are still far, or at least 10+ years away from AGI, the current form of AI still has a lot of improvement incoming and are already bringing in real world benefits and value to a lot users. The adoption curve will accelerate once it is integrated into Windows, Office and Mac. So even if we are in a bubble, I still think we are very early in the curve before it burst.
It means retailers will be able to set their own prices and not have them (unlawfully) dictated by AVM. The resulting competition will probably lead to (at least occasionally) lower prices for consumers.
Water heaters in Britain since around the 1980s would have a basic timer switch to turn them off/on up to twice a day.

The old (pre-electronics) ones are easy to understand — the heating/water comes on (in this case) at 10:00 and goes off at 16:30, then goes on again at 21:00 and off at 07:00: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-timer-control-for-hot-wate...

Take Microsoft for example. They own the distribution channel to enterprises, government, and what not around the world. They can sell anything through that distribution channel.

It will take a lot of time, effort, and more time but try to own the distribution channel.
The article mentions that the business still had almost zero revenue in 2022, which would seem to mean that it went for 5 years and through Series A without making any money?

Congrats to the team, but what really strikes me about this article is how unfamiliar that story feels in today's startup environment.

It's kind of interesting to think about how tighter funding environments lead to teams breaking up and reorganizing more often (likely within the 5 year period for Clay) whereas the looser, ZIRP-like environment allowed the same team to keep learning and iterating in roughly the same space until it eventually worked.
> Still can’t find a “smart fridge” that runs in ultra-chill mode when rates are cheap and backs off when they’re high. Kinda antithetical to use more electricity to save but it’s true.

I don't believe there would be many if any cost savings from doing this. The engineering thought behind it would cost more than the actual savings. It would make a lot more sense to buy a chest fridge which I imagine uses half or less the energy of a typical standing fridge.
