Fun fact: brazilians commonly express feelings of superiority towards civilized developed world nations because of these voting machines. They think americans, germans and everyone else in the world are living in the literal stone age due to their "archaic" voting processes just because it takes time to count the votes.

I think you'll be able to buy R22 for at least another 6 (and probably another 11+) years, at which point that system will be 20 (or 25+) years old and replacing it won't be viewed as out of the ordinary, nor provide a particular bonanza of income/profits to HVAC companies.

Ask HN: Has any software ever supplanted the leader because it was "beautiful"?
Imperative also conveys "the" temporal information in the clause and it is always past.
Agreed. I was very mild in my criticism.
Because the "virtuous" fashionable thing is stop drinking, when they realize it is OK to drink moderately, and go back, there is no need to announce how less virtuous they are

(In the case of addiction is obviously good to stop)

Like stop eating meat, or stop drinking milk, vegetarian, doing keto diet, Huel meals, Herbalife, powder protein, creams, drugs, vitamins... or other crusade you find your self at the moment that you need to announce to everyone, especially when they didn't ask you
I'm saying the consistency that Filippo says our security depends on doesn't really seem to exist in the world, which hurts the persuasiveness of that particular argument in favor of consistency.
> If it was known at the start, that if you grew to a certain size, you'd have to start paying a royalty of some sort (which is the "community expectation of pay or contribution"), then you may not even start using the software in the first place - or at least, consider alternatives.

Maybe! But you could say the same thing about every paid service. “Oh, if Netflix charges customers money every month they won’t grow as fast and might never be financially profitable!”. The answer isn’t to remain free forever. It’s to accept the trade off.

And it’s gotta line up with the license too. I’d be happy if the policy was “look, if you’re doing >1M monthly revenue, we expect your company to fund some people full time to work on opensource contributions. (With some specified minimum revenue / developer ratio). After all, your business depends on this free software but software isn’t free to make. If you don’t want to do that, that’s fine - but you’re getting rich off our voluntary labor without giving back in turn. It’s an opensource licence. You’re legally welcome to do that. But know that so long as you do that you aren’t welcome at conferences or community events or spaces since you’ve opted yourself our community of contributors.
There’s a few dynamics at different scales. Worse conditions are associated with subsistence farming and manual labor where children are more immediately valuable. Child care tends to be easier in more rural communities. Birth control access is lower. Land and housing tends to be cheaper.
If there truly is a problem with existing protocols, propose and properly design new one that can replace it. Then if it is technically superior solution it should win in long run.

The Mars Direct book is worth reading not only for things like transport and mission design but also a wealth of other good ideas about how to “live off the land” when we get there too. Truly worth reading for anyone remotely interested in space exploration
I'm also curious. For folks who've been around, the semantic web, which was all about data annotation, failed horribly. Nobody wants to do it.
What's a "standard violation"? The original history of the IETF is a rejection of exactly this mode of thinking about the inviolability of standards, which was the ethos of the OSI.
> To add insult to injury, tool developers often perform technical due diligence for capabilities procured from contractors. These capabilities typically mirror the capabilities that talented tool developers create on a quarterly basis, and the government will pay multiples of a developer’s annual salary for them.

As someone who feels more like a thing-builder than a thief-saboteur, this description is definitely off-putting.
Keep in mind that on Android, the default browser (Chrome) doesn't support extensions, which excludes adblock (or at least makes it considerably less convenient, e.g., setting up PiHole or equivalent on the device).

And Google Search's past* behaviour was far less toxic.

NB: I've relied all but entirely on DDG search for over a decade. I'm increasingly finding FastGPT from Kagi useful for search-framed-as-question, though the answers have to be carefully vetted. One advantage of Kagi's LLM is that it provides references for its answers making vetting far more straightforward than with, say, OpenAI's LLM.
You also have to add massive amounts (relatively) of static sink by approaches like ‘silicon on insulator’ to prevent energetic electrons from hopping into the transistor layer.

pickpockets an oddity? brother I took all the suburban trains you can think of, the paris subway on a regular basis ive seen people injecting their arms on the wagon, antisemitic attacks, stabbings, punching, people shit on the floor, drunks and pickpockets are a daily thing in paris in EVERY public transportation. some bus lines in non-touristic areas are even so infamous that everyday legions of comments tell stories of how people got robbed their phones or wallets. ill take a car any day and guess what? that is what every rich person including the city mayor will do once they ban outsiders from having car in the name of greenwashing. they will ban cars in paris for middle class and then have people that drive ubers coming from poor suburbs and exploit them to drive around while us commoners have to live through the criminal hell that is paris public transportation.

SpaceX is also not very happy with the pair of forward flaps and 10 ton thermal protection needed as control surface and re-entry.
SpaceX is not Musk. It may be executing his vision, but it's a team of thousands of skilled and hard-working people, all eager to work on a Sunday for a chance to pull something like this off.
That is true, but it’s also true of Blue Origin who are far behind spacex in so far as flying real hardware. The difference is Musk maniacal zeal and yes leadership. I’m frustrated with Musks politics too, but his drive can’t be denied.
Since they didn't disclose this, wouldn't it then be fraud? Does anyone remember when Nikola rolled their truck down a hill to make it appear to be driving? The CEO went to prison...

Not sure about this.

I'd assume most Wordpress sites that make actual money are dependent on WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads, and maybe Gravity Forms/WP Forms for member subscriptions.

None of these are reliant on ACF, and there's any number of WP plugins like this that do the whole job of some website niche or other.

(I've been doing bespoke WP builds for at least a decade -- first one probably more like 14 years ago actually -- and I've not used ACF a single time. There has always been an alternative, and for a developer it's a bad choice.)

Either way: I don't think ACF's popularity is the major factor here. It's that it's an outright abuse.

The word "gaslighting" gets overused but it applies quite well to what ACF free plugin users are experiencing here.

As to "blew up": I am not sure how many money-making ACF users this has affected, because they tend to use ACF Pro, which is a separate download.

What appears to have been removed from ACF to make this shady SCF nonsense is the upsell marketing. Not sure what other breakage there would/could have been. I have seen people say things have broken but I suspect they are relatively minor issues caused by the actual ACF security patch which is also shipped here... because they haven't changed much.

Though if Secure Custom Fields is getting the blame for the breakage, that's kismet, karma, whatever you want to call it.
Somewhat tangential, but as far as rocket fuels go energy per volume is also an important metric to consider. It's one of the (several) reasons hydrogen isn't quite as good for rockets in practice as it is in theory - while hydrogen has tons of energy per unit mass (120-142 MJ/kg for hydrogen vs. 50-55 MJ/kg for methane and 43.1-46.2 MJ/kg), it has a far lower density (70.85 kg/m3 vs. 422.8 kg/m3 for liquid methane and 820 kg/m3 for kerosene). As a result, you need quite a bit more tankage for a given amount of energy from hydrogen compared to what methane/kerosene requires.

IIRC there's a tradeoff between efficiency and thrust as well. Heavier fuels aren't quite as energy-efficient, but it's easier for them to develop a lot of thrust, which is important for the initial stages of launch. If I'm remembering events described in Ignition! correctly this led to "thrust density" being something that was optimized for - to the point that there were experiments with mixing mercury into the fuel!

There is very good reasons not to deviate as mismatch in various other things that can or are not on the path can affect things. Like reverse proxies, load balancers and so on.

You do the same thing at a larger scale, and instead of video game footage you use a few million hours of remote controlled drone input in the real world.
I recently wrote an ANTLR4 parser for RC files, as part of software archeology on a legacy codebase I support. Considering how many programs over the last 30 (35?) years exist that use the Windows resource compiler, it's surprising how little in-depth information and how few open source alternative tools exist for it. So I'm really glad to see both the information and the project in this post.
Creating ever more onerous/costly/time-consuming requirements for lengthy apprenticeships or other licensing gatekeeping is one common way to restrict supply, all while appearing to be serving the public interest.

Seconded. This could have been essentially anything and everything else bunched together. Or we have a compiler or debug symbol bug in our hands.
In a real war, these drones would be causing explosions when they hit their target.

The US has EMF technology to remotely take down an entire swarm of drones approaching the base. It doesn't make sense to not use it.
> I’d love to hear how he justifies taking away this engineers’ Sunday?

His posts on slack [1] show that he sees it as "either with us or against us", and he's willing to harm users to force them to choose a side instead of staying neutral. He probably hopes that people will blame WP Engine for it.

I think his real goal is tortious interference. Hurting devs who use ACF is just a bonus.

In hindsight this should've been all the warning anyone needed.

In the future, when a BDFL telegraphs that they're willing to abuse their powers like this, we need to fork immediately. Open source is more important than any single project or any single BDFL. We can't allow open source to appear risky or unreliable relative to proprietary software, subject to the whims of volatile personalities.

Open source is kind of like libraries - an institution for the collective good people managed to erect in the past that would be neigh impossible to replicate today. Imagine convincing companies in any other industry to collaborate openly and freely with their competitors merely because it's good for society as a whole. You'd be labeled a socialist and laughed out of the room.

If we lose it, it's probably gone for good.
Convincing people to invest in your company is not easy. It still makes him self made.

If you believe I'm wrong about that, try starting a company and getting friends and family to invest in it.
>Open Genera did very little on top of Genera at that, mostly targeting and making it work on the Ivory.

Well Gemini completely hallucinated command line switches on a recent question I asked it about the program “john the ripper”.

We absolutely need public sources of truth at the very least until we can build systems that actually reason based on a combination of first principles and experience, and even then we need sources of truth for experience.

You simply cannot create solutions to new problems if your data gets too old to encompass the new subject matter. We have so systems which can adequately determine fact from fiction, and new human experiences will always need to be documented for machines to understand them.

public transportation is not a viable option in the west. too much crime too many lenient judge. in asia it is top notch. because people are educated and this just works. once we fix this you can take our cars.
The pay is part of the equation, absolutely.

But in my experience, there comes a point where people start saying "OK, now I'm earning $x00,000 I'm rich enough to afford some luxuries, what luxuries would most improve my life?" and it turns out things like "not being on call" are kinda popular.

I'm not sure there's any reasonable amount of money that would make me want to go to a boot camp and get hazed by a bunch of jocks.

So they might need pay and fixes to the culture.

If SpaceX is overly hindered by regulation/lawfare, then there'll be competition from China before long.
People focusing on the use of this in video games baffles me. The point isn't that it can regenerate a videogame world, the point is that it can simulate the _real world_. They're using video game footage to train it because it's cheap and easy to synthesize the data they need. This system doesn't know it's simulating a game. You can give it thousands or millions of hours of real world footage and agent input and get a simulation of the real world.

Wordpress has a (highly effective) auto-updates mechanism for security patches.

It was extended a couple of years ago to automatically apply plugin updates for you if you opted in, and I think automatic plugin updates may now be the default.

(This is on balance a good thing; almost all WP vulnerabilities are outdated plugins, and until this mechanism was prevalent, WordPress occasionally had to live-patch existing installations of third party plugins in the case of severe vulnerabilities.)

The reason this nasty little takeover worked is that they (Matt, whoever helped) have stolen ACF's slug (advanced-custom-fields). So as far as the updater is concerned, it's just another plugin update to the same code base.

And in fact, very little has changed.

Every owner of Garmin I know complains of the absolute useless POS it is to rely on the optical HR for HRV. A HRM on a strap will get you good/very good readings for HRV. Finally there is a good podcast from Attia which he talks with an HRV expert behind an HRV dedicated product.
I don't think so; there remain few economic reasons to go to space and spacex's customer isn't going to rely on a Chinese company.
There seems to be, implict in the term "subsidy," the notion that it is government largesse. My notion is to rebut that pointing out we do not expect a positive ROI on most government expenditures.
WP and/or A8C took over the existing plugin, so that sites that have auto-update on were automatically bumped to the SCF version instead of the historical ACF which obviously had a different team of maintainers

> I've always wondered why GH didn't incorporate chat

I've been wondering the same thing recently. It's really inefficient for me to communicate with my fellow maintainers through Github discussions, issues and pull request conversations so my go-to has been private discord conversations. This is actually kind of inefficent since most open source repos will always have a bigger community on github vs on discord (not to mention that it's a hassle when some maintainers are Chinese and don't have access to Discord...)

This is the same person that plasters the 4 freedoms of free software on his about page like they're the core of his personal credo.

https://wordpress.org/about/

There are certain implied rules to FOSS:

1. Free software is an ideological battleground, and as long as you abide by the license you're fine. Most GNU packages.

2. Open Source without a single backing entity is a meritocracy (or tries, sometimes a little too hard) and you can help improve it for everyone. Like the Kernel.

3. Open Source from a single backing entity is an insurance policy against that company failing or overcharging - at least in principle - if that works is often up to adoption, see the state of various Hashicorp products and their forks. You'll also never get your PR merged if it isn't critical, you aren't a customer or the PR misaligns with the company's strategy. I've even seen this happen on an Apache project, so that's not a guarantee of being group 1 or 2.

Matt has always pretended he belongs to group 1 with incidentally aligned commercial interest, but it turns out WordPress is group 3 with a server dependency twist. He wouldn't even approve a config constant to change the default update/catalog endpoints.
That's where the Sunday goes. I am trying to create an FTP script to mass update all wp-content plugins for this single package. It was on my mind but I was not expecting to have something bizarre happening from WordPress for one of the most crucial plugins in WordPress' existence.
Yes, this is exactly right. What they need is a giant dataset of agent data and audio and video from real world locomotion.
Yeah I also hadn’t but it makes sense. Just like all output from an LLM is a “hallucination” but we have a tendency to only call it a hallucination when something looks wrong about the result, we forget that our conscious lived experience is a hallucination based on a bunch of abstract sensory data that our brain fuses in to a world state experience. It’s obvious when we are asleep that dreams are hallucinations, but it is less obvious that the conscious experience is too.
