Not to lead off sounding sour, but did I just read that they want strangers to book travel / adventures together? In hopes of maybe eventually dating? Provided half of the pair isn't a psychopath and kills the other? :)

Feels like a big ask.
It's not quite "ass", but "petard" does also suggest "fart". The French still use "pet" to mean "fart". Including an amusingly named pastry: Pete De Soeur, "nun's fart".

Shakespeare definitely loved his fart jokes. And if I ever get around to directing Hamlet, I'm gonna see if a fart joke works at that line. It would be hilarious to break the tension.
Imagine how much money and risk could be averted if a ton of companies came together to work on open core designs. We could fully commoditize the CPU market and lower costs across the board just like Linux did for server OSes or Android did for phones.
" Infineon's quality department should have immediately reached out to NASA (or more specifically NASA's contractor working on the electronics)."

Is there any actual evidence they didn't reach out to every single buyer of the electronics?

The article goes out of its way to say Infineon did not contact NASA. But even in your description, they would not have, they would have contacted NASA's contractor working on the electronics.

I still go back to "if there was actual evidence that Infineon did not notify who it was supposed to, the article probably would have cited it". There isn't, so they instead cast aspersions.

Instead they make a bunch of hay about a statement from Infineon that seems totally innocuous - they didn't notify people they didn't know about. Shocker.

Look, i actually hate Infineon - i've been forced to try to make their wifi and bluetooth modules work properly before ;-)

But this kind of lazy-at-best journalism doesn't help anyone.

GitHub's pricing page says that it's $49/user/month extra on top of that $21/user/month Enterprise fee. So even though it's kinda pricey, it's still less than the $99/user/month that GitLab Ultimate was.

Vulnerability-lookup version 1.2.0 released with new bundle features
Met the folk I play with at work and been friends now through lots of jobs and years. Started after moving to a new city so I agree 100%
According to [1]:

> As early as 2001, McDonnell’s team had found “hundreds” of bugs. [...] One, named the “Dalmellington Bug”, [...] would see the screen freeze as the user was attempting to confirm receipt of cash. Each time the user pressed “enter” on the frozen screen, it would silently update the record. In Dalmellington, that bug created a £24,000 discrepancy, which the Post Office tried to hold the post office operator responsible for.

> Another bug, called the Callendar Square bug [...] created duplicate transactions due to an error in the database underpinning the system: despite being clear duplicates, the post office operator was again held responsible for the errors.

At the high level, though, the controversy here is not any single bug.

The controversy is multiple bugs, and the failure to properly investigate or fix the bugs, and falsely telling subpostmasters nobody else was reporting bugs, and the software development process that allowed for such bugs, and the private prosecutions, and the people being wrongly jailed and bankrupted, and the justice system giving undue credence to electronic records, and the cover-ups like hiring forensic investigators then calling them off a day before they submitted their reports, and the threats to journalists, and the fact there were reports in computer weekly and private eye for many years, and the fact it's utterly inconceivable that the post office's senor management and legal team didn't know what was going on.

So we shouldn't focus on one or two major bugs and ignore the broader failings of post office managers.

This is a huge milestone! Congrats to the Meteor team and community!
As long as you stick to what's in Synology's package manager it's pretty end-user friendly. Though that only covers the normal file/photo/video/contact/calendar/backup management stuff. To set up a pihole you'd have to configure the docker image or run a VM, which is probably beyond the standard user's repertoire.

For friends and family unraid is nice because it has a much bigger repertoire of "Apps" (mostly docker containers with some minimal UI integration). It demands a lot more from the user than Synology and looks a lot scarier, but there are no difficulty spikes. Once somebody knows how to use it it's pretty smooth sailing without having to learn anything new.
Combining refrigerator, water heater and heat pump implies the need for transferring the fluid used as refrigerant between these components. This is usually a gas that is not trivial to contain, so creating this shared pipeline increases the points of failure. Further, you now have to insulate the entire length of this system, using material to do so, and you will end up losing a certain amount of efficiency anyways in this piping system. Also, what if your need in hot water is much greater than your need to cool the house or vice versa, what is your backup system for disposing of heat or cold when not required? It’s not certain that after solving all these problems and others, that you still have a net efficiency gain.
> As far as I’m concerned, rather than implementing UBI, if we were to take that money and use it to implement prison reform and mental health care, it would be far better spent.

This is kind of trickle-down-ish. When you put a dollar in the pocket of an individual, that dollar was fully spent on helping that individual (your point about what he does with it, and whether that counts as helping, still stands).

When you put a dollar in the pocket of a business or institution that "helps people", $0.50 goes to the executives and shareholders, $0.25 goes to all the bloated administrative staff, HR managers, Directors of Paperwork, and so on, $0.20 goes to sub-contractors and sub-sub-contractors who, themselves have executives, shareholders, administration, and at the end of the chain, maybe $0.05 goes to the actual enterprise of helping people.
Not parent commenter, but I've been trying to verbalize why it feels LLM-like.

- h2 titles feel as basic as possible, just "what self-hosting, who self-hosting, why self-hosting, ..."

- SEO spam often overuses keywords; on this page, it feels like "self-hosting" is used a bit too often, even if it's well-intentioned

- the text ends in a classic LLM warning "remember to be careful"

- predictable sentence patterns

Some of these things are good for readability. I guess this article feels a bit too plain? I think tech company blog posts add a unique style and voice these days, because otherwise they'll blend in with the average SEO/LLM content.

Also editing nits:

Good self-hosting tips, though. Thanks for sharing.
Good question. I just wipe them with paper towels and use immediately.

But longer might indeed be better. I can tell you they come out crispy and not soggy my way.
> . If everyone is getting taxed to the point where they only make $34k

Only the average taxpayer gets taxed that amount. It roughly means a 16% tax increase. Somebody making $1M a year would pay $160K extra and get $12K in UBI.
They key difference is that an attribute can only appear once on an element, and consequently only have one of its variants present. Classes can present multiple variants at once.

At a surface level `<div class="Card" data-size="big">` isn't really any better `<div class="Card big">`. But `<div class="Card" data-size="big" data-size="small">` is not valid HTML - the second attribute is discarded. While `<div class="Card big small">` has no such contract, and as such is valid HTML and the CSS is unlikely to account for it, perhaps doing surprising things.

China deploys censors to create socialist AI
I’m happy to sift through a .cpuprofile and create an intelligent actionable summary of it if I’m at work and that’s the job they’re paying me to do. And very often they do pay me quite handsomely for my ability to do just that!

But if I’m not at work, I frankly don’t care enough. A single button “take trade for 1 second and send it to GPT4” is the level of effort I’m willing to freedom dedicate to these folks’ crap.
"But PULEEEEAASE tell us who you are and where you found these! We pinky swear we'll ignore the law and you won't get in trouble."

Another option is a variable speed condensing unit. This is what I am looking at doing next.

A dedicated central dehumidifier is nice, but I've found them to be kind of noisy, especially when installed in the attic. Its got its own compressor, so the vibrations will transfer into the structure.

They are supported (source: beta tested it internally). We use this markdown feature for some internal workflows where github flavor markdown syntax is used. We've tested this works and ourselves rely on it as well as some other markdown extensions.
RFID has some of the significant properties you are looking for. I don't know if it has all of them because I've just about exhausted all my knowledge of RFID and don't know any details of the actual problem you are trying to solve. But RFID is deployed at scale and "everywhere." Probably because the technology doesn't depend on protocols developed for other uses (e.g. IP). Good luck.

10 is 10,000 nm. "3nm" apparently has a "gate pitch" of 48 nm, that is 0.5% of the size!

I don't know that "gate pitch" is the correct metric, but I do know that modern marketing nodes don't correspond to reality so this is my crude attempt at trying to bring it to physical reality. Not sure if I did it correctly.
I'm on vacation, so there goes that theory.

We have 400 seats. You do the math, we started with 4$ and within 5 years the price got up to 30$. At some point you just have to question if it's still worth it, and for GitLab, that's a clear No when compared to GitHub.
I started in university and I think it changed who I am as a person a decent amount, and I found some very good friends through it. Sadly I've not been able to play with them much anymore since I got a job on the other end of the country :/
> Furthermore, if you skip a single day, you have twice as much the next day; and if life happens and you end up missing a week or a month, you come back with a giant jumble of cards, half of which you've forgotten, and it's really difficult to dig your way out of it.

The Anki system is actually really good at dealing with missed days. You end up recalling most of the cards that you skipped review for, and the system gives you extra credit for the increased interval before review, in that subsequent repeats for the same card will be spaced out even further. Cards that you outright fail to recall due to the missed reviews are a problem, but the best way to 'dig your way out' of that hole is to keep reviewing on a regular schedule and not to overwork or cram. The backlog gets cleared rather quickly.
The boost comes from easy problems. Write a cli command without looking at the docu, convert from this json format to the other, look ath this method and do the same in this method. This can also be easily verified. Mid-fast tasks become instantly done.
VLMs Aren't Blind

Yeah, in New England I really need a dehumidifier in the basement. It's a bit damp in any case (old fieldstone) but the dehumidifier keeps it from getting really bad.
> It sounds nice, but does this in practice mean that whenever anyone has an idea to improve security, at the expense of UX, consumer prices, etc, you still implement it? Because that is what it sounds like.

Does it sound like this? If a restaurant says that "our food is our top priority", I don't think anyone would think that means they're not going to lease a premises, buy chairs/tables, hire waiters etc.

To me, the very fact that you say something is your "_top_ priority" implies that you have other priorities.

It feels like the author is responding instead to the premise "security is our only priority".

Apparently integrating appliances that use refrigerant piping isn’t so easy, compared to self-contained units that just need electricity. It looks like mini-split systems require professional installation.

There have been fully online banks for around a decade now in most EU countries.

> I feel like you just haven't used WeChat/Alipay enough to realize how better it is from a UX point of view

I haven't no, but none of your arguments are anything about the UX itself. It still sucks, comparatively, to have to open an app, click a button, scan a QR code, and then type information vs just tapping a card/watch/phone with the payment information pre-filled.

The fact that fees might be lower, there might be better b2c and c2c support, etc etc are irrelevant to how bad the UX at the point of use is.
I always wonder about these "you're in the minority" responses. Why is that an important point? Also, pretty much everybody on HN is "in the minority". We're a pretty narrow demographic compared to the general population.

Yes, and to import. You mess with the mime types when creating a document or exporting and the conversion operation happens. Standard gdocs APIs cover conversion of formats already with doc files as an example.
If you squint at it, this is sort of the premise of a ground source heat pump.
Trump allies want to "Make America First in AI" with sweeping executive order
Unless the launch is postponed 2 years, I think any redesign of the vault at this point is unlikely. Clipper was originally designed to be launched on an SLS rocket and that was swapped out for a less powerful Falcon Heavy* so there isn’t going to be much room for extra mass. Additional mass may require more planetary "slingshots" and add more years before Jupiter arrival.

Hopefully SpaceX is able to resolve its Falcon second stage problems before Clipper is scheduled to launch.

* There were some discussions about adding a Thiokol Star 37 or Star 48 apogee kick motor to the Falcon Heavy stack for Clipper but for various reasons this didn’t happen.

> . I hypothesize unskilled workers would demand a higher wage to trade their freetime for work

I hypothesize the opposite. A UBI eliminates the need for minimum wage.

And small differences in income are very meaningful for the poor. For instance if somebody is making $1k/month from UBI, a $1/hour job increases income to $1160. That's very meaningful and some would take it if nothing else is available.

Because it's the only ubiquitous, actual multi-platform delivery channel we have. Web browsers are available on pretty much any device in the hands of users right now.

If i am looking for a job and had to choose between a remote work paying less over a in-office job paying more.. I would also get the remote job even if it paid less..

But in my opinion this mindset is the wrong one when you already have a job and is changing to remote.

If you already have a job that the company already evaluated the value of and agree on a fair pay.. Then moving to work remote does not change the value of your work to the company while changing the costs the company have..

Where i live they cannot legally lower an employee pay, but if they could and had done when i changed to work remotely i would surely have accepted, but i would also start looking for work elsewhere. But i know they have not done it in countries they could have and like i said, they pay us extra to cover internet and utilities.
Are you arguing that technology never forces people out of their jobs?

Note that even if the total number of jobs stays fixed, it doesn't follow that the same people are doing them. They might end up doing something better, or something much worse, or just die and get replaced by a new generation with different skills. There are many examples from history going in either direction.
> Is the useful thing the queue, or the fact everything is now broken down into small tasks?

Yes. :-)

There are numerous benefits to both that are explained in more detail.

The short version is that the small tasks will give you a more accurate rate of progress. The exercise to break things down that way will benefit the entire team's communication and understanding of the problem. Writing them down will keep a record in place for new developers who join where a point measure wouldn't provide any real context.

The queue gives you a clearer picture of job sizing that can be measured and naturally changes with scope changes. It gives you a leading indicator of additional complications so that you can pivot earlier in the process if needed.

Awareness of variability amplification from the queuing process also makes people conscious of flow control of work, as well as the extreme negative consequences that happen when that work is over-scheduled.

They work together to create multiple benefits.
> Have things changed since?

Yes, things have changed. Managers now are also not held accountable.
Do you have anything to back your pain? How do you use it since you have arrived at such poor DX?

Sometimes though, they really are out to get you. And sometimes, they tell you they are really out to get you.
If this were a continuous commercial operation then heat from one process would definitely be used in another. That does save money. The problem is that residential use will be variable and intermittent, requiring a host of sensors and valves to turn loops on and off depending on random needs. And when say one process needs to dump heat, but that heat isn't needed elsewhere (ie the hot water tank is already hot) then equivalent backup radiators must on standby to take the load. That is all just too much control circuitry for residential devices normally controlled by just one bang-bang (on/off) control.
If you are using Bash, you probably need to use Perl.

Python unfortunately doesn't shine where Perl is good at. Mostly of the command line work involves passing around adhoc text, parsing and using it.

You are better off using a language designed to do that very task than use something else.
