Fisker bankruptcy hits major speed bump as fleet sale is now in question
Pioneering systems theorist Donella Meadows makes a highly salient point. The problem with BP isn't because there are "bad people" at the top, and the solution isn't to replace them with "good people." The problem is that the decision-makers are constrained to act a certain way. If they made different decisions then.... those people won't be the decision-makers anymore! The same is true for politicians, consumers, etc.

It's a systems problem requiring systems solutions, not a problem of (as movies simplistically tell us) "bad people."

>What if your game needs to talk to a server and do some string manipulation in between requests? Are you really going to architect everything so that the client doesn't need to handle any of that ever?

Of course! Your string manipulation with user entered attributes like display names or chat messages are 1 millimeter away from old good sql 'Bobby; drop table students'. Never ever do that if you can avoid it. Every time someone 'just concatenates' two strings like to add ie 'symbol that represents input button' programmer makes bad bug that will be both annoying and wrong. Games should use substitution patterns guided by translation team. Because there is no ASCII culture in like around 15 typically supported by big publishers.

There are exceptions like platform provided services to filter ban words in chat. And even there you don't have to do 'things with ASCII characters'. Yeah, players will input unsupported symbols everywhere they can and you need to have good replacement characters for those and fix support for popular emojis regularly. That is expected by communities now.

Suggestion, you've probably fairly easily got access to how long the most recently completed task took?

Perhaps on the submission form include a low-resolution indication of that, so people's expectations are set before they enter a podcast link? Round it off to the nearest minute/hour/day, and format it appropriately:

"Processing times are currently around 3 hours"

or

"Processing times are currently around 17 minutes"
Is that constitutional?
> I also was founder of Ayvri (3d mapping sports tech for paragliders) - I don't put this in the same category as the others, though it was the most lucrative for me, because though paragliders loved it, as did a few ultramarathoners, etc. I don't think it really had the level of impact.

I used to paraglide, and I remember it as Doarama. It was quite used by paragliders, especially in some videos. Personally I liked it in the beginning, but people started to abuse it, and sometimes the videos would consist mostly on the doarama scene (with a voice over). I would skip those parts of the video, or close the video after some time. It wasn't the same as watching a real video capture from the terrain, which I did prefer..

Can't wait for the day companies are forced to provide support for decade(s) and/or provide (or support) an off-ramp so their withdrawal doesn't brick the device or endanger the users. I feel like my M1 MBP could be good for development for at least the rest of this decade and still generally usable well beyond that. As for my phone... once the easily-replaceable battery legislation comes into effect I could probably use one for a decade unless more-demanding software ecosystems emerge to push them harder.
It's an extremely competitive industry that has seen government funding as part of the industrial policy of several east Asian countries. Right now even Korea, one of the largest shipbuilding countries, is having trouble competing with the Chinese shipbuilding industry:

>However, despite these significant contracts [above], the Korean shipbuilding industry is facing a growing sense of crisis. According to industry sources on Oct. 3, out of the 191 container ships of 7000TEU (1TEU = one 20-foot container) or more ordered this year, China took 177, accounting for 92.7%. This shift has been particularly evident in recent large-scale container ship orders by global shipping companies, which have increasingly favored Chinese shipyards over Korean ones.

>The industry assesses that China is gaining the trust of global shipowners by successfully carrying out projects with low prices and quick delivery times. In fact, it is reported that there is no longer a significant difference in delivery schedules between Korea and China.[0]

To be clear, Korea is still a major player in shipbuilding (basically tied with China) and based on an article from last year[1] it seems that they focus more on other ships besides 7000TEU. It is probably impossible for the US to enter this market in any reasonable time frame and it would need government support like in Korea China and Japan. Even Japan, which was the largest player in the shipbuilding industry for decades has lost its marketshare to Korea and China. The costs saved by not being subject to the Jones Act probably don't make up for the cost of those ships. In 2013, US container ships costed 5 times as much as foreign ones, and it's probably more than that now.[2] Maintenance is another factor.

Your iPhone doesn't even really store your biometric information, it stores mathematical models that can be used to check whether the fingerprint (Touch ID) or face (Face ID) matches the person who enrolled on the device (you).

And that mathematical information is only stored in the Secure Enclave, which means even if the entire Operating System (iOS) is hacked, the attacker still would not have access to your biometric information.

You should read this page. It goes into great detail about how much security there is around Touch ID and Face ID: https://support.apple.com/guide/security/face-id-and-touch-i...

That saying that goes, we are the only species that will become extinct because survival wasn't profitable enough.

To the systems point we really, really really, really really need to stop subsidizing fossil fuels to 7 trillion a year globally. We have to stop making it profitable and encouraged by the system.

The entire understanding of good or bad water is based on anecdotes, conjecture and taste. Which tells you nothing. Then some savant talks praises about the water source and municipal treatment process.

When really the last mile is the most variable aspect. All of it needs to be clean the whole way.

The way people talk about local water is absurd.
Can’t remove an eSIM.
How was it involved in crimes? Again, can you be more specific?

I agree with you about other social media platforms owning their own infra, by the way. But I'm not sure if that supports your point? If the only difference is that they own their own platforms, meaning they can do whatever, doesn't that show that AWS is actually unreliable for products like these? Which is what OP was arguing?

Also, it's weird to say that I was crying about political repression. My point was that your comment itself was arguing that they were still removed for political reasons. Which meant that you agree with the person you replied to, it's just that you think that it was morally correct which is besides the point.

And if Parler did commit a crime, or crimes, surely that would be public knowledge? Jan 6 lead to a rather intense series of prosecutions, so you'd think Parler would also face criminal charges. Unless you meant that it was used for criminal stuff, which is true. But that's a completely different standard, and one that AWS only applied to Parler (for obvious reasons). If you are saying that enabling criminal activities is a crime, then that would apply to other social media too (regardless of if they own their infra or no). Yet again, Facebook or YouTube has never been charged for anything like that.

It's totally fine since AWS was within its rights to ban them, but it's weird to argue that it had nothing to do with the politics of the situation. Again, AWS does not care about coups outside the US, which are just as illegal.
practically every system is running service manager of some sort (supervisord, daemontools, runit, or infamously systemd etc), and with a service manager daemonization is something between completely useless and actively harmful. as cks explains in the post, daemonization is truly relevant only if you are starting your daemons directly somehow somewhere, and that went out of fashion somewhere in the turn of the century.
> as investors focused on near-term returns rather than the energy transition.

If the justification for burning the earth to the ground continues to be “investors focused on short term returns” then governments need to start telling companies like BP they are legally and financially responsible for the effects those policies have on insurance rates and everything else.

At some point if they can’t do the right thing because it’s a sound long term investment strategy, they need to pay the real price of their short term focused strategy.
Well the US has a ton of larger process size fabs. There's at least 100 fabs of varying sizes and processes in the US as well as internal supply chain for materials, testing, and assembly. (Where do you think most of the semiconductors containing classified designs are manufactured)

Most are much smaller and more specialised/less automated so they don't have the same kind of production but there are a lot of fabs in the US and a lot of fab knowledge. Of all the countries, the US is one of the few that could probably survive a semiconductor industry collapse outside.

And many of those semiconductors in cheap FPV drones likely are actually fabbed in the US or could easily be fabbed in the US by Intel, Infineon, Texas Instruments, pSemi, NXP, Bosch, Renesas, Micron, onsemi, Analog Devices, Honeywell, Polar, GlobalFoundaries, Microchip, or Samsung, just to name a few non-military facing companies with significant fab operations in the US.
You’re assuming the data is actually handled with care, and lives in a system designed for this sort of thing, but it’s probably not.

Some data scientist who wasn’t even supposed to be able to view stuff managed to copy data from prod to dev, maybe by accident. Then an engineer who intended to be testing an in place transform pipeline actually wrote a copy elsewhere, maybe once for each test, and didn’t even notice. This stuff happened off and on for like fifteen years while projects and people all changed and no one cares, because sure there’s some vague gestures in the direction of compliance, security, and privacy but it’s just a token effort because anyone who really starts asking questions is let go for not being a team player.

Syncing updates to some “main” copy won’t make it easy to delete dupes.

It's depressing to see companies moving back towards a carbon-burning future. It seemed like electric vehicles, battery technology, and solar power advancement was finally starting to kill the market for ICE engines and 'dirty' thermal power.

Between reversions like this, RTO mandates, and global conflicts that seem to include blowing up oil refineries it seems like there's absolutely no hope or interest from any major governments, businesses, or organizations to do anything to address global warming and climate change or even maintain our carbon outputs.
the code is a little gnarly, but if you don't specify anything the default behavior is to keep the "last" event that comes in while a request is in flight:

https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/blob/1242977d11bebe56...

and that dumps the existing request queue and puts request created by the last event in it by itself:

https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/blob/1242977d11bebe56...

we don't cancel the current request or issue the next request until the current request finishes

but there could be a bug in the code, for sure, it's pretty crazy

Fly.io: We did something "weird" with our CLI
You can pry Windows 7 from my cold, dead hands. As long as ESET NOD32 is still being updated, and as long as the half-dozen applications and tools I use on my two desktop machines still works, I will keep using it.

And please, no specious replies about "Oh noes! The botnets!" or "Linux is so much more awesome!". Do not care. Do not want. W7 was the peak Windows OS, and everything after it was varying degrees of a dumpster fire and/or spyware.
Is there an equivalent to Turbo Mount for Htmx? https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/the-art-of-turbo-mount-h...

I think it's one of the best ways to use Hotwire/Turbo. Default to Hotwire to whatever degree of understanding you have, and as soon as it feels like HTMX/Hotwire isn't the right tool, you can easily switch to your framework of choice.
So what?

That doesn’t prevent adding a new function that converts an entire string to upper or lowercase in a Unicode aware way.

What would be wrong with adding new correct functions to the standard library to make this easy? There are already namespaces in C++ so you don’t even have to worry about collisions.

That’s the problem I see. It’s fine if you have a history of stuff that’s not that great in hindsight. But what’s wrong with having a better standard library going forward?

It’s not like this is an esoteric thing.
Whenever I hear something like this, I wonder if the Chevron ruling allows the EPA to do things like this...?

that situation has had me thinking about getting an amateur radio license again. In a disaster like what happened to Western NC, which encompasses a much greater area than just Asheville, I wouldn't want to rely on anything based on the Internet. You want something with a long wavelength and low power. But it's so inaccessible, and I'm not sure if it's for good reason or not.

Connectivity was knocked out from Black Mountain all the way to the Tennessee and Georgia borders. I'd be surprised if many people even have shitty 3G back yet. What I know is remaining in touch with people who live there has been hard.
The influx of Brazilian users to BlueSky was pretty public(1).

> What's the word for posts like these online?

The word is “post”. When someone writes a thing and puts it online with or without a supporting body of evidence they are engaged in posting.

For example you have posited without evidence that there is a need for a special word for a post without evidence. I don’t know if that claim is true or false but it is, undoubtedly, a post

There is some massive confusion around the types and costs of audits required for full Drive permissions scope (and I definitely blame Google for the lack of communication/direction on this). I had to get this audit for an app and it was nowhere near 75k - I believe it was well under 10k. Another commenter said they had it done for $4k: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41781325
Yeah I’m just saying in general. I probably shouldn’t have replied to anyone in particular—just jumping in the conversation. =)
I think the best is to submit the bug report to KDE bugzilla so the devs could look at it.
> we are the only species that will become extinct because survival wasn't profitable enough

This a very good quip, but I have to ponder: how could we know that for sure?

If some other species had a comparable concept used to organize themselves, I doubt humans would even be aware of that nuance.
What I am talking about is a bit different: imagine if the CCD produced a non MxN color image. Maybe think of it as scrambled data that has just the right level of detail for the machine to do its thing but not something where you can get back the full color image via any means.

I am not saying the actual CCD is different but it’s something akin to a filter between the HW and the rest of the system to prevent full color image access.
I am not sure why you are being downvoted. Just like fridges, cars, ovens gained internet access, enhanced humans will be extremely likely to be, eventually -- and possibly with interesting consequences -- hacked.
I don’t think any comment anyone makes here is going to will anything into existence.

And it’s a fact that Musk lost Brazilian revenue, gained nothing and that some percentage of users would’ve switched to Bluesky, Threads etc. during the block.
It's jQuery but for HTML. Same spaghetti result, different language.
So expose this on an webserver on the device itself, advertise it via mdns, have the app talk to it directly from the same network, or via a custom IP for people with more complex needs.
It's mostly about paying for the bandwidth, not the information itself. In the client-server model, the the server owner has to pay for bandwidth and operation costs, which is the justification for advertisements and such.

Even in torrents you have private trackers and all of these annoying incentive systems for people to host content. If you had a good reward system on top of bittorrent/IPFS I think that idea could take over the world, but it is not efficient or decentralized to do so.
There is no such thing as perfect software. Everything comes with tradeoffs. Except, of course, for mkdocs.

I know other people like jekyll or hugo or whatever, but I've never seen anything comparable to the simplicity of mkdocs. It has built in search for the entire site, nice looking nav, everything is markdown.

The best part though? Here's my "build pipeline".

$ mkdocs build

$ scp -r ./build <user>@dangerlibrary.com:/site

I love it.
Ah - I don't consider them as "obstacles", but "traps". For me, it sometimes gets stuck under certain chairs. There is a path for it to "escape", but about 25% of the time it gives up. So when I do that room, I have to rearrange it so the chairs are not in the path. As a result, I rarely do that room.

I doubt their "smartness" will figure out that it may get stuck under those chairs. But even if it did, I wouldn't allow it to communicate home.
Nah, according to what I've read, we really ran out of forest (wood) and had to start replanting them about 500 years ago, give or take a factor of two.

They're my files in Google Drive. If I've made the choice to buy a product from Panic, and I trust Panic as a company personally, it should be my right to decide to give Panic access to my files in Google Drive. It is not up to Google to shuffle money into the pockets of their security partners under the guise of doing it for my safety. My safety and the safety of my files is my responsibility, not Google's, and it's oddly convenient from a monetary perspective (both for Google itself and their partners) for Google to suddenly care a lot more about this than they used to, so it does not seem particularly altruistic in any way.
This was a software project for me, wanted something that lets me know what things to do in the area, where are shops, what are their hours, how to contact them, etc. Not only for businesses but for public spaces (say you wanted to rent the local park for an event-contact info is there), also event information, local notices, etc.) I've used it several times checking if some store in the town I'm headed is open (go to the local info page, then click on the facebook link and see if it is actually open) as well as a place to point others local resources (like where can we hold a wedding near town X).

https://doplaces.com After ten years I've learned it's to get people to submit information (even if listings are free) also has been a challenge for this semi-introverted programmer to market it.

Another project (for my employer) we have had a printed community resource directory for decades this helps people find local government/aid resources for families and has got recognition for its handyness in emergencies. I have created a web version - the notable part on this one is putting in a facility so those on mobile can (via cookies) select favorites and write notes associated on those for later reference. https://rr.trcac.org/resdir.htm I guess the other challenge in this area is we are rural and a good portion of the population is not all that well connected or tech savvy. The paper one still currently wins out over the on-line version.
OK, I was going for value to the customer. Obviously selling your data to the highest bidder is a given nowadays.
There is no way .io would share that same fate
The weak-point is the shared USB device that copies from one machine to another which seems to defeat the whole purpose of being air-gapped - you could have printed-and-OCR'd data three decades ago so the air-gapped machine is never reading anything from outside at all, these days a video stream and AI could probably automate that?
Not anymore. The time travel issue was fixed with time travel.
The issue is that the F-35 when it's actually being competitive is practically invisible. The US actually has generally had to operate it without stealth coatings or while broadcasting a radio beacon while doing comparisons or competitions against other crafts and weapon systems because in an actual combat environment, an F-35 fit for stealth is completely invisible to electronics (and to a measurable degree eyesight) well within F-35 weapon systems' effective ranges.

So essentially you can't see an F-35 until it is already lined up to kill you. That tends to make it pretty difficult to hit it.
