Wonder if they're serious about that?

Do they know places are around (or at least used to be) which will inflate the # of stars for a repo for some minimal amount of cash? Like $20 per thousand(?) or so when I was reading an expose about that years ago... ;)
What typifies the current era is the new morality police finding reason to tisk-tisk at even the most prosaic things, if they can be first in line to point out a reason something is not PC.

One would have thought the new Victorianism would get dull by now, and there's certainly been some backlash against it, but it seems like a gestalt that won't die easily.

FCC ID from docs page picture:

Some of the docs are permanently confidential. And I’m not sure how to pull the others up. Maybe someone with more familiarity of the FCC can pull them.

One caveat: the FCC ID is from a docs page picture. That may not be the actual ID used for in-production items, but it probably is a good bet it is.
> The UK summer vacation (summer holiday in British English) is significantly shorter than in other countries

This is compensated by "half-term" weeks, where schools close in the middle of a semester, so in total there is no difference. Predictably, those weeks also see massive spikes in prices for holidays, airfare, etc.

The UK education system is built from the ground up to ensure class lines remain intact. This is just another facet of it: the wealthy will go on holiday no matter what; others will either not go or be price-gouged, hence ensuring they cannot accumulate enough to ever challenge the ruling class.

Generally the worst case scenarios for covering all our energy needs with renewables end up with using around 1% of a country's land area. Which is already a small fraction of the land we use for farms. But compared to the worst case scenario there are many reasons to think it will be far less: solar power and farms can use the same land in a synergistic way. It's called agrovoltaics. Solar can cover water reservoirs and canals which reduces water evaporation. Commercial rooftops and parking lots can also be covered. In practice wind power occupies a fraction of the land it does on paper, and can often be placed in between farm fields. And then there's geothermal which could cut land area use as well, especially for winter demand if you build district heating.

Off-shore wind is growing rapidly. Even floating off-shore is gaining traction. These could eventually be co-located with the growing of seaweed for food, animal feed and bio-matter. The ocean out there is basically a desert, not much is growing there, and creating structures where things can grow will essentially act like a "greening" of the ocean, turning more of it into a CO2-sink.

> How does space usage compare against nuclear plants?

Obviously nuclear power plants use significantly less. How much depends if you include uranium mining, which generally happens in other countries.

But nuclear power plants just isn't renewable, and their growth is fundamentally unsustainable. Thermal power plants also contribute to global warming by direct heating. It's not going to take more than a 10x increase in power production with thermal power plants before that becomes a significant concern. With renewables there is at least a theoretical path to full sustainability. All we have to do is to recycle the materials used to build them.

The pinnacle of solar power sustainability is projects like the one to build huge solar power plants in Morocco and transfer the power to UK. You absorb solar energy from a place that has too much of it, and plenty of arid land, providing shade and cooling for a significant area where you could then potentially do agrovoltaics to grow food. Win-win.

Not that I oppose nuclear. We should build what we can, as long as it's economically feasible. It's just that it gets way more attention online than it deserves. It's just not going to be as important as people think.
Agree more with you than GP. Revealed preference is a thing, virtue signalling and performative behaviour is rampant.

However, you can have a situation in a hypothetical economy where the VAST majority cares deeply about an issue and actually put the wallet where their mouth is. But the aggregate spending is different simply due to an enormous inequality in wealth. The integral of "revealed preference" across the population is not the same as a popular vote after all.

I guess some people would argue this is the case in western economies, that we "have no choice" due to powers at be, but I don't agree with this view. But it's conceivable that in some economies this is, or at least could be, the case.

Interesting, it seems that the javascript runtime is smart enough detect this pattern and actually create a named function (I tried Chrome and Node.js)

const foo = () => {}
console.log( foo.name );

actually outputs 'foo', and not the empty string that I was expecting.

const test = () => ( () => {} );
const foo = test();
console.log( foo.name );

outputs the empty string.

Is this behavior required by the standard ?
How does it work for tvs in practice? Skimming the article, it seems a large practice was to use the sounds as confirmation of user location (were they at an event). What ultrasonic source is my tv likely to pick up?
prices do not encode information!

Prices are a reduction of information in that since decisions that lead to price being set are past that information gets reduced.

Or to put it another way for an investor speculator they have to go to the chain that goes into producing that product to find the signals to use to short or buy a stock...not the price of the good itself..
Ah, so it is like the "Bug Free Code Hypothesis". If someone is paid to write code, then theoretically that code should be making money for someone, and it should be making them more money if all the bugs were fixed.
Not true at the top-level.

Show HN: I made site to soothe your dog's anxiety with specially designed music
A few weeks ago, I noticed that my dog was getting anxious during thunderstorms. It was heartbreaking to see him so distressed, and I realized that many other pet owners must be facing the same issue. I started thinking about how I could help alleviate this anxiety in dogs, and that’s when the idea hit me: music.

I spent three intense days developing a website that offers specially designed music to soothe dogs' anxiety. The process wasn’t without its challenges, but my goal kept me focused. I wanted to create something simple yet effective that could help pet owners create a calm environment for their furry friends.

The result is a site that offers a variety of calming tracks specifically tailored for dogs. The music is designed to be soothing and relaxing, helping to reduce stress and anxiety during challenging situations like thunderstorms, fireworks, or when left alone.

I would love for you to try it out with your pets and share your feedback. Your input will be invaluable in helping me refine the product and make it even more effective.

I'm thinking that much of the architecture around building APIs in front of databases stems from the religious approach to SOA over HTTP/REST. I don't see much wrong with this as to me the database is still a sort of an API with a different protocol.

At Scramjet we've built an Platform+Agent engine and put it to use and in many cases we do integrate into the DB's directly without APIs through long-lived integration functions.

Let me address some of the comments below:

- hard coupling of DB is bad - I really don't see how adding an additional middleware results in lessening this, you're hard coupling into something else. While it might help if a database structure is changed on a whim but, from my experience, most of the schema changes reflect changed requirements.

- hard couping is bad in general - is it though? As a platform engineer I went into a pitfall of making everything reusable only to learn that 90% of the stack has never changed and the XML-based protocol projects developed in 2004 are still being developed without change to the protocol at all. A reactive approach with a separated client/data model is much better in my opinion and quite frankly it's mostly impossible to write a system these days without one.

- schema changes are unavoidable - but hey, as someone pointed out, there are views and materialised views. The RDBs do offer a good framework for keeping legacy schemas during the development cycle and this framework will save you the most money as it affects the least amount of moving parts in your system. It's there since the 90s at least, so why not use it?

- the security mumbo jumbo - this seems to be the most uninformed opinion - all leading RDBMS have an extremely robust and granual way to grant access to the data. They are battle tested for nearly half of a century. They are well known and easily tested. And, unlike the REST frameworks, HTTP servers, relays, caches and what not, those are contained in a single piece of software, limitting the attack vectors.

If you can deploy the client to the DB remotely, near the database then I'd say - you're doing this right and not only that, you're limitting the amount of code you need to deploy, maintain and depend on. If you separate the data, the access code and the logic from each other, you have achieved decoupling. But that does not mean that REST API's are the "one correct way".

Such an approach was the underlying idea of our Scramjet Platform and we've taken this approach not only in integrating into DBs, but also file storage, direct protocols and even GPIOs in some cases. And though we have a trick up our sleve of being able to split the code across distributed environments, even in general terms I'd say: it works, it's maintainable and way less expensive.

So why didnt price go up prior to covid, if the CEO can manage to set prices?

Or is it that they have always set their price to the maximum that their customers will bear, and it's just that now, their customers were willing to bear a bit higher (due to some external cause)?
It’s not a hypothesis. It’s a model.
`gron` is so underrated. Usually when I try to show people who useful it is they don't seem to understand how powerful it is. One common use is showing how to customize only one part of a helm chart by checking values of an already installed chart:

$ helm get values -n $NS $DEPLOYMENT -o json | gron | grep resources | gron -u | json-to-yaml.py

fluentd:

That snip could be provided to another team or a customer as a yaml file that could be included with `helm upgrade -f whatever.yaml`. This is soooo much easier than digging that limited set of data out of the much more detailed data.
Ah, but we’re talking markets. Not votes.

Though, politics is power, and power is about money. Or is that sex? I forget.

Power definitely does impact markets, as it applies counter pressures on what matters or not, sometimes to the point of making it impossible* for a trade to actually occur. But always shifting what actually matters or not in some direction, and hence influencing prices.

Power unexercised is power that de-facto does not exist in the moment, eh?

So if the voters aren’t making something illegal (and ensuring enforcement) they aren’t exercising their power to influence that market, and hence that power does not yet exist. And so typically prices will merely reflect the risk premium of the potential. Not have it as fact.

And if the rich folk are transacting in these markets, and are using their power to hide and/or obfuscate that they are doing so, to avoid any public influence, that is power that definitely does exist right now..

And markets will reflect that, on the balance, or a trade won’t occur. When trades do occur, EMH gradually forces things towards efficiency. And the more players there are, and the more transactions occur, the more efficiency is inevitable. Barring things like monopolies, regulatory action, etc.

* though as the war on drugs (and the persistence of smuggling from antiquity through to the modern day) makes quite apparent, it is actually very difficult to stop all trade when there is a large market ‘potential’ that exists. Trade ‘finds a way’.
Complaints were about presidents blocking people so they wouldn’t see their postings. That’s a fair complaint. When there is no other venue to communicate or to get informed about things vital to them, it is perfectly fair to complain about that.

In this specific case, Twitter doesn’t provide an essential service and, if it did, that’d need to be regulated and forced to provide services in an equitable and fair way.
Final Fantasy is awesome but it’s 2-3 generations after wizardry and ultima.
It’s not different, that’s the point. But it’s worth pointing out because general misunderstanding of “AI” being impartial or less-biased (absurd, I know) among the general public.

I think it’s good to have research like this pointing out these flawed uses of AI before they’re inevitably used as a means of laundering accountability. It’ll happen anyway.
Congratulations on launching your site! It’s impressive that you identified a common issue among pet owners and turned it into a solution in just three days. Your dedication and focus are evident in the product you’ve created.

As for constructive feedback, here are a few suggestions:

1. User Feedback Integration: Consider adding a feature where users can easily share their dog's reactions to the music. This could provide valuable data to refine the playlists further.

2. Expand Music Variety: Dogs, like humans, might have different preferences. Offering a wider range of music styles could help cater to more dogs’ needs.

3. Guidance for New Users: A brief guide or tips on how to use the music effectively, such as the best times to play it or ideal volume levels, might enhance user experience and the effectiveness of the music.

Overall, you’ve created something meaningful, and I’m excited to see how it evolves. Wishing you great success with this project!

That exactly is the point of the test though.
Not to test whether most people call 100% blue blue, or 100% green green.
It is to test at which point of the "inbetween" colors people switch from blue to green or vice versa.
It forces you to decide whether the color you see is "more blue" or "more green", since after all they're all just a mix of blue and green.
It could though. Every rule has exceptions, doesn't it.
I think this is an excellent point. For those projects that are needed by myself or others I prefer to look at the closest commercial solution first rather than last too see if I might spend more time than it's worth.
