LOL. Why is this even on the front page? He measured it with a phone's mic, then he goes on to "eyeball" the results, which are clearly different even to the eye. He then declares them the same. From top to bottom, everything is wrong with this.

I'm guessing it's because of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", which if I recall correctly, Victor Hugo wrote to (successfully) stimulate desire to repair/restore the cathedral around 1800.

For me, personally, I think that Gothic architecture is the height of beauty, especially the interior. Notre Dame is one of the first examples, and was built quickly enough to have a consistent architecture (also Chartres and Amiens). Many Gothic cathedrals took 100 years to build and you can see variations in the architectural style in the different pieces which lessons the beauty somewhat. I also like the French circular apse rather than the English square apse (although that does allow for a gorgeous, huge window).

I also think beauty is important, especially in buildings, and Notre Dame is just a great example. It's beautiful inside and out. I've even spent quite a long time just enjoying the beauty of the back side.

They've already white-anted the report in the SMH quoted as saying it shows signs of bias.

If they and their useful helpmeets in "the Australian" can sustain ignoring it, and accusing the CSIRO of being biassed, they won't have to refute it.

TL;DR Dutton and OBrien will not accept it, no matter what the CSIRO or anyone else says, and their rejection was both predictable and predicted.

If you're coming here to dispute about Nuclear power on any grounds other than a) economics and b) in australia and c) from now forward, not some hypothetical past or future then please don't. The name of the report is the GEN COST report. It's about economics. It's not pro- or anti- nuclear on environmental, social or political grounds, it's a reasoned case on the forseeable issues in construction cost and cost of generation over the lifetime, in the context of Australian economics for electricity.

Nuclear works in other places. That isn't disputed by CSIRO although they do note the costs in the long term in other places, the LCOE, is not as low as Dutton or OBrien want to claim, and nor is the lifetime generation level as high as they want to claim.

Transmission effects, and the necessity of displacing home rooftop solar as well as scale commercial solar, wind and batteries pose massive political and economic risks to everyone, and if they think about it, Dutton and OBrien too: An awful lot of LNP voters have solar on their roof and being told it's got to go will not make them happy.
I went through our house and installed motion controlled light switches in a few key places. Specifically places like a walk-in closet, the pantry, the utility room, the storage room under the staircase.

There was, I believe, no need to leave the light on when there is no motion.

(I hesitated on adding a motion-activated light to the bathroom because, for example, taking a shower might cause it to time-out and you would be showering in the dark.)

In any event I did not use any kind of networked device — just your standard $15 Lutron motion sensor light switch you can get from Lowe's or Home Despot.

I mention what is probably obvious because a use case in the article was to activate a light when it senses motion. No need to over engineer that.
Personally, I think it's helpful to feel disappointment and insufficiency when those emotions pop up. They are the voices of certain preferences, needs, and/or desires that work to enrich our lives. Recontextualizing the world into some kind of positive success story can often gaslight those emotions out of existence, which can, paradoxically, be self-sabotoging.

The piece reads to me like a direct and honest confrontation with failure. It means the author thinks they can do better and is working to identify unhelpful subconscious patterns and overcome them.

Personally, I found the author's laser focus on "data science projects" intriguing. I have a tendency to immediately go meta which biases towards eliding detail; however, even if overly narrow, the author's focus does end up precipitating out concrete, actionable hypotheses for improvement.

Bravo, IMHO.

This week someone finally vandalized an old long forgotten sign at the train station. It's purpose was to ask the traveler not to walk on the rails. It said because of delays 30 000 people were late for their appointment every year. It attempted to appeal to a kind of decency and care for others that just doesn't exist anymore. It is also true that no one walks on the rails anymore.

The answer to the riddle, how to pay the publisher: You make your own website and write your own article(s) If the reward worthy publisher wrote something that fits the context of your website (or one of them) and it is worth reading for your readers you make a link to it. <a href=""> etc An endorsement like that, from the right person, is worth a lot but it is not required. You just make a nice article for other people, they could do the same. We all win or lose together.

Unfortunately, creators have very little leverage over YouTube, nor any realistic ability to move to a different platform. The can be frustrated all they want, but until YouTube has a reason to fear creators leaving the platform en masse, there's little pressure on them to change.

> For three years, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office produced its own crack cocaine, so it could sell it to people that deputies would then arrest for buying crack cocaine.

Putting aside the insanity of a police department manufacturing crack cocaine, I’m specifically curious how they ran the books for something like this. There’s the crack money collection, the laundering of cash, expensing raw materials (i.e., powder cocaine).
Would love to know why this was downvoted. It's factually true and easily provable.
The report you linked was from a single healthcare organization in the UK, not the entire NHS. Also, it mainly only covers their own cases and requests, they only treated 7,000 IBD patients in the specified year.

It does state that there was a request received, and it would fund it. Dual biologics usually isn't considered until all the regular biologics have been tried by themselves. You don't seem to understand that biologics and surgery are literally the only things to combat this disease, and surgery can end up just being a bandaid:

"The only formulary identified with a policy on dual biological therapy for IBD was South-East
London which fund dual biologic therapy for severe, refractory CD in certain circumstances."
> Even if AV is dangerous 99.999999% of the time (which I think is a bold claim), it would still be better than something which is malicious 100% of the time.

You are missing the fact that you are supposed to run the AV software 100% of the time, while you are unlikely to ever download a malicious software, let alone execute it with all kinds of countermeasures, such as code signing, in place these days.
If you double a memory block with realloc, the memory may be relocated to a different address (at least on MacOS). Then all pointers pointing to the old block will be invalid. This can be addressed by adding new blocks to a list. It will be more complex than a minimal arena allocator.

Furthermore, a typical arena allocator only grows but doesn't shrink. A deleted item from the memory block will still hold the memory and will not be released. You will need a more sophisticated allocator for deletion. For fixed sized items, memory pool may be an option.
> How many jobs have Uber and Amazon destroyed?

How many have Uber destroyed?

For Amazon the claim is more obvious - picking up the "killing local business" and "killing US suppliers" torches from Walmart before them - but I would be a bit suprised if there were any cities where there were fewer transportation drivers now than pre-Uber in the US. Taxis in the vast majority of the country were pretty few and far-between.

They are very different types of tech company; not as completely different as something like SaaS with no cost of physical goods at all, but Uber (while hardly an example of a good citizen company) is not really the sort of "some people in one city have jobs and nobody else does as a result" tech company as some others.
Show HN: A shadcn/UI theme generator (with chart and sidebar)
Hey HN,

I’m a indie developer, and I build all my projects using Next.js and shadcn/ui.

While there are some shadcn/ui theme generator out there that work pretty well, I couldn’t find one that also generated charts and sidebar colors.

So, I made my own. It’s pretty straightforward, you just pick a primary color and the tool generates a theme for you, including the sidebar color.

Then, you can select a chart primary color and the tool will automatically generate a palette of 5 colors based on it, using color schemes (like analogous, triadic, etc.)

The idea of the tool is to get a color palette quick.

Would love your feedback on this
thanks, Manu

> This makes a zero value union very similar to a nil interface, which will also fail all type assertions.

Yet is still directly comparable with 'i == nil' which yields true. Two different interface pointers of the same type that are both 'nil' can also be compared this way. Plus interfaces can be manipulated under reflection.

> At this point my feeling is that Go might as well stick with interfaces and not attempt to provide union types.

The language, and most particularly the runtime, is not compatible with the idea. I'm not sure why it gets brought up other than language level FOMO.
Big sugar paid Harvard et al to point the CVD boner at fats instead of sugar, namely saturated. Wrong. Dr. Mary Enid correctly identified trans fats as the real problam. Funny that sugars will cause fat Genesis. A body can not accommodation make. We're suppose to hunger. Good things happen when we fast. Even the Bible gets gluttony right. This was back in a day in age when you might eat a single meal a day.
It literally says in the article: "McNaughton had tried individual biologics".

This means he most likely had already tried them alone. Remicade especially, as it's essentially been the most popular biologic (aside from humira) for the last 15 years. Do you need to see his full medical history before you have a little empathy? As a person who isn't a gastro doctor I'm sure you'll fully understand it.
>Unless you are on windows or playing steam games on linux, there is zero reason to prefer x86.

This is completely false, unless you're just speaking theoretically. In the real world of 2024, there's no real alternative to x86 for general PC computing, even if you're running Linux. Where are the laptops with ARM CPUs? (No, Macs don't count; can't easily run Linux on those plus they have a huge price penalty.) Where are the consumer-grade ATX motherboard + CPU combos for building desktop PCs? None of this stuff exists, at this time.

Sure, Apple's made some really nice ARM CPUs, but that's pretty useless if you don't want to run all-Apple hardware and use MacOS. And Windows keeps using x86 for whatever reason, even though technically they could target other architectures if they really wanted to (and they have, in the past). Linux basically just uses whatever Windows uses, because unlike Apple it's just not nearly big enough to command marketshare all by itself outside of dedicated servers. (And even here, for some reason, ARM hasn't made much headway, though I think it is pushing into this market slowly.)
The Health Industry has this lovely 3-part structural defense they run behind every time that someone questions why the health industry costs so much.

Step 1: "The other 2 entities in the health industry are to blame!"
Step 2: Profit, because no one is going to succeed a battle here that knocks down only one of these.

Every time, this is the response. In practice they are all to blame, and they could all be working to make this better. But none of them are incentivized to act in anything but their own self-interest. Insurance is definitely to blame, as are hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers. There's a reason the companies that ostensibly "save people's lives" are some of the most hated in the US.

I hope that Insurance companies have an epiphany from the public sentiment about this, that they're messing this up spectacularly. But honestly, they seem more likely to wait for this to blow over.
Browser companies can't handle payments unless they decide to pivot to becoming a payments company like PayPal.

The API and standards talk in the article is putting the cart before the horse. There is currently no way to send money peer-to-peer without an intermediary that can handle the bank transfer, and intermediaries tend to charge a lot for this service.

Because of this, the best options are to add a PayPal or Ko-fi button on the site, with the understanding that the publisher won't be receiving the full amount you send.
You are implementing a closed hash table with linear probing. You need tombstones to mark deleted items, or better, move other items to replace deleted items [1]. Currently your library doesn't have either mechanism.

I like to think of audiophile gear as woo for men.

I wonder sometimes if humans just have an innate need for magical thinking and if we eliminate it from most areas of our life it just finds some other place to pop up. If that hypothesis is true, then audiophile gear is a net positive: it's an almost entirely harmless place to indulge in nonsense magical thinking with no harm to anything but your pocketbook.

I'd rather people spend $1000 on HDMI cables than trying to use homeopathic medicine to cure their cancer or taking away rights from people because it goes against an ancient fiction book they really like.

Of course, but tapes are niche too, right? I'm kinda optimistic, because the influence of people who care is outsize, they're always being asked what equipment is good by their friends, so maybe more people will start to care.

One problem is finding music that is recorded well-enough to enjoy in better quality. I was listening through my Mojo 2 earlier, and enjoying the last Radiohead album from 2016, it was fabulous in every aspect.

You could also implement a Wayland or X11 client by yourself. Those libraries are also implemented in C after all. No need for external libraries to write to some sockets.

Whether it's worth doing is another matter.
Run Home Assistant OS in a VM and snapshot it on a schedule.
You build a data center close to large reserves that would otherwise be flared or (gasp) vented. You get yourself some rebuilt LM2500's to power it. There's negligible added GHG or carbon footprint if it was otherwise going to waste. Vented methane is much worse than flaring it.
Most people won't do that though. The walking tour is an example of a situation where there is likely a societal expectation to tip. No such thing on the internet where the publisher is a faceless unknown.

The whole thing is just insane. Instead of going up the supply chain and arresting the big fish, they are creating their own supply chain and go after addicts. Everybody involved in this should get fired. Almost as stupid as the FBI years ago going into mosques with undercover people radicalizing some young and then arresting them. Basically they are creating their own crimes which they then solve.

If I had to extract meaning from it, I'd say "Never before has there been one language that is at least ok at writing shellcode, a web server, and a phishing page in".

Not sure I agree with the statement, but it's a pretty weird category to sit in. C would count as a possible member at least.
> If Computer Architecture were a really healthy field, classes would have to be taught from recently-published papers, because it was moving faster than a textbook could be published.

I really don't get this perspective. How can you possibly hope to understand "recently-published papers" without first understanding the basics of the field, which is what Hennessy and Patterson covers? Every subject has introductory textbooks from which introductory courses are taught, and then you can take more advanced courses that can, among other things, include material from recently-published papers. Are there even any fields where courses must be taught from recently-published papers?

On another note, it's not like no more computer architecture textbooks are made. Look at the Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture series.
You may have already seen it, but OpenPassport allows for partial disclosure of passport data. It's less applicable to the use case of the OP and more applicable for e.g. one time account verification.

https://github.com/openpassport-org/openpassport

I don't have any strong view either way on the government ID verification for online services. At least in theory though, the concept of partial/selective disclosure of passport data seems to be a good middle ground between proving humanity and maintaining privacy.
There's a difference between 'doable' and 'viable'.

I used WLED and some WS2811 lights for Halloween this year, and I was blown away but how much it _just worked_. As long as I kept the order of the lights correct (there are arrows, derp), they just strung along. I ended up with a decently complicated array, but as long as my counts were good, the thing just worked. Govee is a very mainstream brand currently using WS2811-based lights, and with a little knife action, you can add them in. I'm hopeful next year to play with some 2D matrix stuff in it.
