I am so excited for this. I've run into so many books where color would make it ten times better. Also, the Comixology subscription will be so much more valuable with this device. The only thing I have a wish for is that the device is more responsive than the original Kindle. There is nothing more frustrating than tapping a touch screen and waiting 5 seconds for it to respond.
Conversely, the occasional success Open Source tooling has is in large part due it not competing, therefore not being forced by competitive pressure to spend ~all resources on marketing, and ~nil on development. I'm not sure where computing would be today if all software was marketing-driven, but I guess nowhere near as far as it is now.
Is this a project that could be developed to support a distributed mirror of archive.org similar to how Anna's Archive works?

Sammy is a single mother who is extremely protective of her 8-year old son. She is satisfied with living in the small town she grew up in and working in a local bank. When her brother Terry visits he fits the void in the life of both her and her son. Temporarily free of the constraints of single motherhood she begins to break free of her normal routine. In a string of traumatic events Sammy is torn between helping her brother and her maternal instinct to protect her son from getting hurt.

At least they're not claiming it's Open Source / Open Weights, kind of happy about that, as other companies didn't get the memo that lying/misleading about stuff like that is bad.

I tend to choose a recent model available for Ollama, and usually stick with a general purpose local model for a month or so, then re-evaluate. Exceptions to sticking to one local model at a time might be needing a larger context size.
We've lost a lot with the deletion of this repo. Not the code - that's already out in the ether - but the absurdist comedy of the issues, pull requests, and commit history of trying to piecemeal delete third party non-FOSS software.
The website is not transparent on this, but according to their chatbot, legacy members remain subscription-less.

The chatbot said:

Oura Ring 2 owners who upgraded to a Oura Ring 3 when it launched were upgraded to a Lifetime Membership. Currently, there's no option to purchase or upgrade to a Lifetime Membership. The regular Oura Membership is available to all Oura Ring 3 or Oura Ring 4 members and requires a monthly fee.

If you have a Lifetime Membership, your Oura Membership remains free as long as you keep the same, active Oura account. Lifetime Memberships cannot be gifted, transferred, or sold to a different member.

There are explicit limitations of V3 that make it not able to be as effective even if rewritten to be compliant. uBlock Origin Lite exists; it can't do everything uBlock Origin can.
I 3D print stackable drawer-based organizers for these components, mounted on the wall. I'm using this system: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3125601

I've tried many different strategies over the years, but this one fits me better than any other because it's the most flexible and extendable. I have half of a wall in my lab covered with them now.

I color-code the drawers to indicate general type (capacitor, resistor, inductor, IC, etc.), and sort them in the drawers according to value (for passive components) and part # (for active ones).

For large parts, I use commercial parts drawers in a similar fashion.
tipping culture is so annoying here in the Bay Area. the other day i was at a coffee shop and cashier handed me a device that had suggested tips from 18-22% with no obvious Cancel button. i was infuriated and the cashier had a smug look on her face. she knew what i was looking for and she didn't bother telling me how to skip it. mind you, this was for a coffee to-go order.

I cannot imagine how a musk-fan (at this point, I would classify anyone, who believes his claims as a fan) thinks, but it seems so weird to me to actually cling on that hope, that it should make the promise easy to break. It has been a while he made this promise, and it's nowhere near to be delivered. What does it even matter? How long are you comfortable owning the same car (the one that has more electronics in it than iPhone)? 10 years? 20 years? If he doesn't deliver FSD in that time, it doesn't really matter if it will be the same old cars that will achieve FSD. And if you can achieve FSD with better technology on a newer car, it's a win-win, it doesn't really break the promise that your 20 y.o. Tesla will achieve FSD. Maybe in 30 more years it will.

Interesting. The issue occurs because I have WebGL disabled, causing the createShader function you're using to throw an error. You can reproduce this by going to chrome://settings, disabling "Use hardware acceleration when available," refreshing the page, and then triggering the same error.

Sorry for duplicate post. Also this feature is enabled by default, but causes issues with several sites.
> As a software developer, what pushed me over the edge was Docker. It runs absolutely terrible on MacOS, consumes resources/battery and makes your CPU hot as satan's taint.

Thanks for saying this. I own an M2 Max Macbook, which is my very first Macbook, and I tried Docker the other day only to find it was literally unplayable.

I then recalled running Docker forever ago on a much shittier Windows laptop and it was sort of a breeze? I was confused as to why I couldn't have the same experience now.

Thanks to you, at least I know this is unlikely to be a case of PEBKAC
The optimus bots seemed laggy. I thought the non verbal communication really suffered compared to a human using fingers and eye contact. The smoothness of the optimus movement was at odds with human movement - delicately but quickly darting around.

When a human makes eye contact with you and signals something with their hands - it is so responsive that you are certain that they are talking to you. With the robots, it was ambiguous.

Did someone put a low pass on the movements on top of a laggy remote control loop?

Separate container system for every specialization. These should stack and bundle in sets of ~3 whenever possible.

This system does require more cubic space than alternatives. Often groups that fit together in tool bags, crates, or better concealed boxes.

I have dremmeled out repurposed power tool boxes (nice clasps.) this go well for kits (sic., soldering kit, circuit building kit)
Even then, there's other challenges. With Delta, booking a flight, I see a rough return airfare when I select my outbound leg, that then might be tweaked by my inbound leg choices.

Booking with Alaska, I get a fare listed that is only the outbound leg, and then I have to discover the inbound leg price.

This often gives the impression that fares are or will be cheaper with Alaska, and then after a few clicks, you realize that they're (mostly) the "same".

> In addition, we have given out many sizeable grants to FOSS projects and organisations in India. While funding projects outside India involves significant paperwork and operational overhead, we have reached out to several small and large projects that we use at work and have managed to pay them. This highly ad hoc approach is something that has increasingly bugged me though.
These are legitimate gripes that have plagued specific past releases, I hear your frustration. Please keep in mind this was a solo effort of a single developer, only worked on in my spare time over the last 7 years (up until very recently).

The new v0.8 adds a BG queue specifically to deal with the issue of stalling when some sites fail. There was a system to do this in the past, but it was imperfect and mostly optimized for the docker setup where a scheduler is running `archivebox update` every few hours to retry failed URLs.

Site compability is much improved with the new BETA, but it's a perpetual cat and mouse game to fix specific sites, which is why we think the new plugin system is the way forward. It's just not sustainable for a single company (really just me right now) to maintain hundreds of workarounds for each individual site. I'm also discussing with the Webrecorder and Archive.org teams how we can to share these site-specific workarounds as cross-compatible plugins (aka "behaviors") between our various software.

> it quietly leaks everything you archive to archive.org by default

It's prominently mentioned many times (at least 4) on our homepage that this is the default, and archiving public-only sites (which are already fair game for Archive.org) is a default for good reason. Archiving private content requires several important changes and security considerations. More context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26866689
kinda true, but I'm surprised how some apps expect you to watch movies upright (TV+, Disney), which makes watching movies laying down quite "non ergonomic". ;)
> If, OTOH, your business logic is inseparable from prod databases, files, networking, current time & time zone, etc, then TDD and tests in general are both cumbersome to write and simultaneously delivers much less value (as in finding errors) per test-case. Controversially, I think that for a spaghetti code application tests are quite useless and are largely ritualistic.

I don't disagree with this and I have found it to be quite true -- though IMO it still has to be said that you can mock / isolate a lot of stuff, system time included. I am guessing you already accounted for that when you said that tests can become cumbersome to write and I agree. But we should still try because there are projects where you can't ever get a truly isolated system to test f.ex. I recently finished a contract where I had to write an server for dispatching SMS jobs to the right per-tenant & per-data-center instances of the actual connected-to-the-telco-network SMS servers; the dev environment was practically useless because the servers there did not emit half the events my application needed to function properly so I had to record the responses from the production servers and use them as mocks in my dev env tests.

Did the test succeed? Sure they did but ultimately gave me almost no confidence. :/

But yeah, anyway, I agree with your premise, I just think that we should still go the extra mile to reduce entropy and chaos as much as we can. Because nobody likes being woken up to fight a fire in production.
But are these truly exceptions? Or are they the result of subtler rules French learners are rarely taught explicitly?

>> Ferlier says that the introduction of the standardized referee questions significantly reduced the amount of time and effort put in by reviewers. “There’s really this understanding in the nineteenth century and very early twentieth century that the peer review is a real discussion,” she says. “After that, it becomes a way of managing the influx of papers for the journal.”

Screw that. If you want me to put in the effort to read k pages of your conference or journal paper you better be prepared to read k papers of my review.
Same, I'm still rocking an older Kindle because it fits in my hip pocket on my cargo pants and so can always be with me whenever I get a quiet moment day-to-day to read.
That’s basically the approach mentioned in the article’s paragraph starting with “A broader technique I follow is make it work, make it break.”

Actually there's a purpose to keeping taxes separate. Policymakers want the tax burden to be visible, it is not part of price transparency because the vendor has nothing to do with the tax rate.
I recommend Browsertrix for WARC creation, I think they are the best currently available for WARC/WACZ.

> All require runtimes. Which means they're not in the same class of language as C, C++, and Rust

Right, which is why it makes no sense to say "no don't use C# for webdev!! Use Rust!"

They're different classes of languages. If C# is good for that use case then use it. Also there are genuine benefits to having a runtime.

Indeed, we use FastAPI in quite a large scale! I would not trade FastAPI for anything else at this point. Before the typing module became ubiquitous there used to be a lot of "magic" frameworks that made heavy use of Python's dynamic nature; both Django and Flask fall within this category: I am not a fan of untyped Python, at all.

There's some gotchas in the way FastAPI works, mostly due to its usage of thread pools and the GIL. I would recommend anyone starting a project to exclusively use asynchronous I/O (SQLAlchemy supports async with asyncpg), as FastAPI is very clearly meant as a pure ASGI framework, despite what they claim.
You can buy portable heaters and air conditioners, plug them in inside your own apartment, and pay the power bill. The AC needs a way to exchange air with the outside but that can be accommodated with a window.
I mentioned the reason in another comment, it's an important govt transparency principle that the tax burden be separate and visible.
Yeah that's what we're aiming for eventually, but with the addition of fine-grained permissions controls so you don't have to share everything 100% publically, you can choose a subset.

> Why on earth would someone not call the first airplanes an earlier form of the Boeing 747?

Because you need to draw the line somewhere reasonable.

Otherwise, why don't we take your logic one step further and say an aluminum sheet is an earlier form of the Boeing 747 ?

The difference between the Wright Brother's plane and a Boeing 747 is simply too enormous to be a logical "earlier form".

The only thing the two share are the fundamental physics of aerodynamics. And even then, we are only talking the sort of shared aerodynamics you'll learn about at an aerospace museum on a school trip when you get to put a piece of cardboard in a wind tunnel.

Its a bit like saying a donkey is an earlier form of a car. Well, sure, people used to use donkeys extensively for transport. But I think most people would agree calling it an earlier form of a car is pushing it.
I just love his writing so much -- he captures what I felt when I discovered Lisp. As a kid learning programming in the 80s, I had already done some BASIC, Fortran, Pascal and COBOL in high school and early college. There were differences, of course, but they had some fundamental commonality.

At UC Berkeley, however, the first computer science class was taught in Scheme (a dialect of Lisp)...and it absolutely blew me away. Hofstadter is right: it feels the closest to math (reminding me a ton of my math theory classes). It was the first beautiful language I discovered.

(edit: I forgot to paste in the quote I loved!)

"...Lisp and Algol, are built around a kernel that seems as natural as a branch of mathematics. The kernel of Lisp has a crystalline purity that not only appeals to the esthetic sense, but also makes Lisp a far more flexible language than most others."

At 5MHz you have a wavelength of approximately 60m. So for a dipole antenna (the most basic) you'd need approximately 30m of wire.

You'd have a length of coax cable going to the centre point of the antenna, so pair of 15m wires extending from each side.

Getting your amateur radio license covers this in more detail.

Dave Casler has a bunch of useful videos on things like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18-6sJHk9hU
From what I’ve studied, Algol wasn’t designed for typical software development—its main purpose was to give computer scientists a way to describe algorithms with a level of rigor that mirrors mathematical notation.
Yet currently, we have the opposite, financial institutions will "helpfully" update your card details with merchants you have recurring charges with.

Years ago at Key Bank I even argued with a teller and manager about blocking a recalcitrant merchant from charging our account, "But you have ongoing charges with them and if we decline the transaction..."

Yeah, that's between me and them, you shouldn't be inserting into this to 'obligate' me to pay.
Right! And the forms too? Got to say though, even if it doesn't do the html generation that WTForms does, it seems the better split.

There are two possible solutions to traffic: create an alternative to driving - mass transit; or spread things out so that there are less places in any one place someone wants to go.

Parking lots accomplish the later by limiting what can exist in that area, and the more empty they are the better as it means there are less people going to that one area. Of course there is a cost to this - if you don't have as much to do in one area it means you need to drive to more areas, and quickly you reach a point where some things in your city are not a reasonable distance and so most people go there (in the case of walmart this doesn't matter as there are plenty of others, but a niche/specialized store cannot capture the whole population and in turn this means it will struggle to get enough interested customers to stay afloat). It also means that jobs on the far side of the city are not in range.

Parking ramps allow for more density - but they are not only a lot more expensive, but if people pay the price they invite more traffic to the dense areas that already has too much traffic, while a lot spreads limits traffic because there is only so many places you can walk to from a parking space (the distance places may not have anything in range).

I agree it needs to be a gradual transition to mass transit. Density does enable many more things in a city (the point of a city is all the things you can do - if you don't like it move to Alaska), and mass transit done well enables more of those things. However note that I qualified that with done well - many cities only have poorly done mass transit and the ridership shows.
To be fair, there are very accessible options like margin loan or pledged assets which you can also keep going indefinitely - possibly all the way into estate tax which - as a "little guy" - you wouldn't owe. They are higher interest rates (to the point of not being all that interesting - depending on what you want to do.) And they don't have the same features.

But if you are high assets and low income, they might still allow you to buy a house with a loan - if it's what you want.

I'm not sure about enterprise use cases, but for my project I was able to process 60TB of Common Crawl data with Rust at line rate on a budget server without any issues. Code was easy enough to write and it ran great on second try with resources to spare. I would pick Rust for big data projects again.
I have a Unicomp PC122 and it feels solid, but it sounds a bit like late IBM, much more than 1980's IBM. I heard the newer units are heavier, but I don't know much about that - I suppose they might be using a heavier steel plate, because changing the molds would be both ridiculously expensive and would invalidate their claim to be building original IBM keyboards.

In any case, the layout is more important than key feel (unless it's absolutely terrible) - for many machines you NEED those keys and, if they are in the same positions than they used to be, the experience is a lot better.
How to start writing a plugin for ZBrush with Rust?
In that moment when i decided to create my own plugin, I didn’t find any useful information. I did a lot of crash tests, read different very old ( oldest discussion was 19 year old ) discussions on forums. Tried to understand how to glue all this stuff together. And finaly structurised all my knowledge in this article. That was interesting experiance for me, as i didn’t have any experience with Zbrush and ZScript before even with C compabilities in Rust. But as end result I hope this documentation will help you to save your time and avoid my mistakes
UPD: Im not professional developer, this is what im doing for my needs as 3d Artist. The code may contain a lot of core mistakes, but it works for me.
Feel free add comments, what I've did wrong with rust and what i can improve.
I just wanted to add that "dynamic" doesn't mean untyped or weakly typed. Clojure is a strongly-typed dynamicly-typed PL. Clojurescript compiler for example, in many cases can produce safer JS code than even Typescript ever could.
