The article covers that - "Secondly, it would be a political showpiece".

The article's use of "strategic" is in the context of "the autobahn was of low strategic importance for much of WWII". When coupled with "The reichsautobahn gained real military relevance only in 1945 as WWII closed in on Germany itself", it's clear that the text meant strategic from a military stand point.

Once the war started (and especially once they invaded the USSR), I highly doubt the autobahn was anywhere in the top 10 (or top 100...) reasons why Germany kept fighting.
The politicians on the supreme court and while the case was pretty recent the move to limit it dates back a long time before that

There used to be a website where people could create an account and report their system uptimes. It even had its a client to automate the reporting.
Ten, in fact. Most places have a lot more research and medical reactors than power reactors in nuclear power stations, because you can build one of those for something like 1% of the cost of a nuclear power station. (Remember that the first research reactor, Chicago Pile-1, was built under the stands in a football field, by a team of about 30 people, between November and December of 01942, without any engineering data from existing reactors, on a budget of under 3 million dollars—US$51 million in today's money: https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=2700&year1=194....)

I went to a state university in the US that had its own research reactor, and I thought their university hospital had another one, but it turns out they don't now if they ever did.
Fun fact: the DOS version of the Cakewalk music software in the late 80's had a scripting language (CAL) that was very loosely based on Lisp. The author (Greg Hendershott) later went on to write a lot about Lisp.
I think the time difference in scans is not that each individual scan takes longer, it's that there are a lot more scans to be performed.

It's somewhat of a DoS for a network scanner overall, rather than a DoS for each individual network scan action (as per a traditional tarpit).
We haven't ever hired anyone; its just 2 of us, but I've shared on HN before, so maybe you saw it then?

So murder someone who wasn't involved in a purported rape because he at some point in the past introduced a purported victim to the purported rapist.

There's so much wrong with this purported claim whose purpose is likely to be the misdirection of justice ...

CrazyBob was murdered. The murderer has been convicted. The conviction does not, in any way, undo the loss, but justice is still a necessary element in the preservation of our society.

May justice be swift and appropriate. And may the family and friends finally find room for healing.
This. Almost no-one's even realised that maybe being able to enroll multiple TOTP tokens would be a good idea. I spent some time recently trying to figure out a good, properly secure, robust authentication method would be for various important accounts both personally and at work, and I've more or less concluded that there isn't one, the best compromise that mostly works is TOTP but manually copying the secret across two hardware keys, which is wayyyyy outside the average user's capabilities, and I'm not even sure I'll be able to make it work in practice.

passkeys are not serious until they actually address backups in a way that isn't just "we'll copy the secrets around in our cloud services just like passwords lol"

(And it's not like there's no solution here: firstly make it mandatory in the spec to allow enrolling multiple keys, then standardise a means to enroll a device from another device, automatically, across all devices that other device is enrolled in, and then also it would probably be a good idea if that also offered a way to revoke the other keys)
I work on Bun. Happy to answer any questions.

We honestly should've done the text-based lockfile awhile ago. The JSON parsing overhead was very obviously not the right tradeoff compared to the DX impact. But I'm happy with all the implementation tradeoffs it imposed (reallocation gets complicated)
Chevron is irrelevant here and does not support the argument being made, unless you're moving the goalposts.
Pointier corners though. Nearly 30 years after the Miata gave up its pop up headlights because pedestrian safety was something we cared about at the time, instead of only the vehicle occupants’ safety and their desire to look cool.
I built an ecliptic pathfinder in the Black Desert in Egypt a few weeks ago. It's a piece of land art comprising three piles of rocks on the near horizon, each marking the position of sunrise (if you are stood in an approx 200 metre by 5 metre strip) for the summer solstice towards the north east, the spring and autumn equinoxes to the east and the winter solstice towards the south east.
How does WLB change over time for most people?

At some point if I transition to FAANG/something closer to my ideal, I'd definitely like to grind so I doubt I would have time for much outside of work.
A hardware security key, or ideally three, one of which securely stored somewhere, can be a good choice here
According to live demos seen in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr90iQmNsKM, it'll bypass Cloudflare, Akamai, Shape Security, DataDome, Incapsula, Kasada, and PerimeterX.
Yeah I'm in some of those circles. If you say "should we ban kei trucks?" they will say no but if you frame it as "isn't Kia f-ing evil for cutting corner X?" they will agree. And you can wash rinse repeat that dozens of times before someone pipes up and says "hey, this is kind of how we got this stupid situation where only big cars are highly profitable to build". So basically they support the status quo unless you frame it like that.
Or Delaware
> There is a move afoot to eliminate all regulations unless they've been specifically passed by Congress. Which is basically incapable of passing anything.

(At least some of) the agencies brought this on themselves with their abuse of the goodwill/benefit of the doubt previously afforded to them. Most flagrant has been the ATF, for one example constantly redefining machine guns or pistol braces, turning millions of citizens into felons with no oversight beyond drawn out and expensive court cases against them.

I never liked the smell of this power being afforded to agencies in the abstract, even for the "good guys" at the CDC or Department of the Interior. It's too rife for abuse. Federal regulations (whether you call it a law or a rule, the party van is coming if you break them) are supposed to be hard to pass. We once needed an amendment to ban alcohol before we forgot the definitions of interstate and commerce, but if my understanding is correct, under Chevron deference the DEA could have decided to schedule it without even asking congress.
"We'd need different funding models for radio, television and much of the internet."

I thought the internet was funded by internet subscriber fees.

What are we paying ISPs for.

Advertisers do not pay our internet access fees.

Any internet subscriber can publish on the internet. No advertisers needed.

Owning a radio station or TV channel is expensive and may require funding from advertisers.

But an internet subscription is affordable in the same way as a TV set or a radio receiver. If an internet subscriber has a reachable IP address then she can publish.
Did you publish it? Can we see?
A lot of people mentioned the DNS aspect to it, and that's still true. It prevents someone from just proxying the request.

But also, in the end the attacker site isn't really getting anything that would let them then turn around and authorize as you.

Think of it like SSH keys. A public key and a private key. The site holds the public key, you have the private key. When you create a new passkey with the new site, they're holding your public key. They can't go turn around and start logging into to other places with your public key, they can't sign the challenges. So if you make a passkey for bank.com and an attacker at baank.com had you enroll a key there, they can't take the public key at baank.com and use it anywhere to act as you. They only have a public key, and one tied to baank.com at that.

In the end you never actually transmit your actual credential even in the original setup. You're just signing things, the private key stays on your device. And its a different key for every service.
They'll probably screw Montana via back room political wrangling like everyone thinks happened with Vermont.
Just use standard chroot creation tools (like mmdebstrap for Debian) and stuff the results into an initramfs?
As described, the research sounds weak. They have a hypothesis: "laws are written that way due to style imitation." And their proof of that hypnosis is to weakly reject an entirely different hypothesis "the magic spell hypothesis."

Poor sloppy work. As likely to misleading as clarify.
> A confident Takahashi argues that the location of a new tooth in a mouth can be controlled, if not pinpointed, by the drug injection site.

IIRC there was some other (same?) technique which had a nightmare-fuel issue: It would promote all tooth growth even where you don't want it, so you kind of have to be starting with a blank slate...
Reminds me of a few scenes from Reservation Dogs, which is a pretty good show if you’re ever looking for something to watch!
Fired as an Engineering Executive
I was fired from my executive job yesterday. It feels really bad. I poured everything I had into the company and to just be dismissed is a feeling I am unfamiliar with. I know I was let go for not just going with the flow. I was passionate about the issues surrounding the organizations ability to get anything accomplished in a timely manner. I think that was seen as too much for the c suite to handle. Meanwhile underperformers are kept and elevated to top positions because they are more agreeable.

I am finding it hard to deal with the rejection and sort out my emotions. Part of me thinks it's for the best but the other part thinks I could've done more.

Does anyone have a similar experience and can share?
Suddenly waiting on the phone for 45 minutes doesn't sound so bad, unless proving a point is your main goal.

You’re absolutely right—an ATS can really help streamline the process.

It might also be worth considering an AI feature for your team that analyzes applications and ranks them based on how well they match the job description. It could save time and help prioritize the most relevant candidates more effectively.
>It won't work as well if you insist on eating a pint of ice cream three times a day.

Yeah, good luck with that.

GLP-1 agonists reduce your desire for, and for many people, your ability to consume things like “a pint of ice cream three times a day.” That’s kinda the point.
Worms at Chernobyl Appear Mysteriously Unscathed by Radiation
> I've often seen brass bowls with stickers warning that they aren't food safe.

That’s mostly because acidic foods will accelerate corrosion and the patina forms a bunch of tough to clean nooks and crannies for bacteria to fester. It’s more about the risk of food poisoning than anything leaching into food (although zinc can leach into food from brass).
Yeah I really didn't mean it as criticism but rather as a reason why I'm in 2 minds about adopting it.
My 20th century experience was that you can have successful startups without anyone from Stanford, MIT, or Harvard; what you did need then were people who knew (concretely) what they were doing.

(for fundraising in the US, which it sounds like you'll need to, you'll probably want to drill your english grammar)
Thanks for sharing that! I haven't heard of Triposo before, so that was really helpful!

I think these kind of 'passive' trip companions are difficult to sell as they inherently fade into the background and support your trip, rather than trying to take all your attention and 'be the trip'...

But thats the kind of software I like and the kind I think we should try and build more of! Personally, when I'm exploring a new place I just want to 'do me' and have some gentle nudges if I'm near something really cool.
There seems to be a subtext here of “see? I told you it was hard!”

Nothing wrong with setting out to build a Google instead of a Basecamp. They’re different kinds of company.

If anything it’s easy to underestimate the risk of building a low-risk business. They’re all hard.

Kudos to Konfig!

25 Years of DPReview: 6 camera features that didn't make the cut
I just checked my French and English copies - the black and white edition was first translated to English in 1991 and the coloured edition was first translated to English in 2005.

The coloured editions seem to be the same in both languages except for the rhino encounter (plus the English edition having a content warning before page 1). I believe the changed rhino encounter was initially done for the Dutch translation many years ago.
Currently I can just get the robot from one floor to the next and press start. It takes a few seconds to find its bearings and switch maps, then goes on his merry way.

Having to restore a snapshot each time I move floors is a lot more friction.
Absolutely gorgeous and probably even worth actually using
Also, aviation accident investigations aren't really about blame but about future prevention. Even if the outcome is pilot error, it's more about preventing how this error happened in the future than to punish the pilot. Because nobody (well.. almost nobody, think GermanWings) does this on purpose. Either training, information overload, disorientation etc. And also the cooperation of the pilots is paramount. That doesn't really work if they're getting themselves in trouble.

Having said that I don't think a current NTSB investigation would take "i f--ed up" for an answer. They'd want to know why and how. But those were very different times.

OS/2 competed against Windows 3.1 - and I don’t recall it visually looking at all inferior.
I well mm used to like reason a while ago but this is laughable.
The article does not show how or explain why or in which manner she affects consumers.

It says that she has been bad for them but there is no proof of this.

Instead it makes quite a comical attempt at trying to vaguely point at the sky and say she is evil or overreaching, but she is not and anyone whoa actually wants a free market can tell you that. I honestly just cannot understand what happened to Reason I checked some more or their side articles and wow the quality has dropped to a level that would make the NYT blush.
What even is this take?

I want to use something Valetudo to keep my local system supportable and maintainable, but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars trying to figure out which robot vacuum might have just the right firmware revision that I can dismantle and flash it so it'll work.

Given the cost of getting it wrong, buying a preflashed "definitely works" unit is of considerable value to me.

If the author of Valetudo wanted to license a run of vacuums from a manufacturer that definitely worked, I would buy that. If someone else goes into business managing the buying and flashing part with some sort of support, that's also valuable to me.

If this market segment is currently unserved (seems to be) then I'll become a customer of whoever starts serving it, because that has value to me. Ideally, that would also include kicking back funding to ensure good support from the Valetudo platform (which tends to be how these things work).

Though also frankly the idea that managing the logistics and supply of a product pipeline is "easy" is...well, why hardware is hard has been covered extensively before.
I understand! I’m still on the job hunt myself, but if you ever need help implementing or improving those systems, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to collaborate or share ideas. You can DM me on Twitter (@dairon_canel) or connect with me on LinkedIn (Dairon Canel).

A neat thing in Warp (I don't know if it was also pre-Warp) was that when it booted if it didn't have an OS/2 driver for the hard disk it would create a v86 task that would take over the state of the BIOS and it would then use BIOS INT 13h calls to access the disk.

That meant you could install and use it on a PC with a disk controller that OS/2 did not recognize out of the box as long as that controller provided BIOS INT 13h support.
Can't good people leave and get a job elsewhere? easily?

Honestly, I don't think I can answer your question. I didn't change the config but I had to delete and re-pair all devices (or they had been gone from Z2M already at this point, I can't remember - it's mostly an academic distinction though).
What would it take to have a unified memory architecture to rival Apple's ? Is it theoretically possible with PC motherboards and GPUs that sit in card slots of some form?
You probably don't need Homebridge if you run HA. You can expose whatever you like from HA to HomeKit so it works great with Apple devices.
Hmm yeah but the US legal system is kinda out of control with ridiculous claims and damages granted. If you're going to bankrupt a doctor, it becomes much harder for them to tell the truth.

You don't know what the sticker price is going to be until you know who is buying it from where for what.

Until then, all you can do is quote a price.

Welcome to reality, kid.

If you're buying it for resale, you don't owe tax. How do you put that on a price tag?

There's use tax. Depending on what you use a product you buy for, you might owe a different tax rate. How do you get a final price out of that?

You don't. When you quote a price, it's a quote.

Are these front end devs in the room with us?
I really wish this wasn't the shocking revelation it is, but holy fuck, a ton of people just refuse to do this.

I've done it all my life, personal and professional. I will (not happily, but I will) explain how I fucked up, and why. But similar to your experience, this catches people completely off guard. They don't expect it and I know why, because in my interactions in turn with people who also, categorically, fucked up: they will NEVER admit it. Most people will die on the hill of not just owning a simple fucking mistake and it's so bonkers to witness. Like... it's fine. You're human. You made a human error. Just like... acknowledge it so we can get on with whatever?

Several of these "should have worked" like the IR sending and the Android cam. Poor execution and I suggest IPR stupidity let them down.

I never got swivel lenses. I think it made sense if you came at things from a handycam video world. I came at things from a different world, and this feature wasn't on my wishlist.

I miss my Olympus half-frame. 72 shots of medium-terrible quality, and expensive as hell to get C24 processed these days, but it was fun. The tiny sony digital I had sort-of got there but it now has some crap in the lens assembly and fixing that kind of thing is $$$ mis-spent. Better to live in my Android potato camera.

Author take one the LLM approach for first pass:

> Trying to get LLMs with vision to properly identify zones also were found to be slow and unreliable, and the risk of hallucinated results is unacceptable, especially as a first step. Non-deterministic systems may be fine for creative projects, but not here. (Once we have a reliable reference we can then play with LLMs and if necessary, control the results by measuring the distance to the source.)

He tried it for fixing footnotes and the result went "classic LLM":

> It was a complete flop. Using OpenRouter, I tested over 200 models. More than 70% couldn't even count the footnotes right, but that wasn't the worst part.

The "best" models just made stuff up to meet the requirements. They lied in three ways:

Basic (stupid) lies: wrong counts but claiming they matched ('foonotes: 5, references: 3, match: true')
Better lies: claiming they placed references when they hadn't
Premium lies: making up new text to attach footnotes to when they weren't sure where they went (against explicit instructions in the prompt never to do that)
I don’t think it’s the architecture or technology the commenter is reacting to, it’s this line: “You should never need to directly access any data that is stored in there.”

Statements like that are a huge red flag that the designers of the product are not particularly experienced with operating this type of system at meaningful scale.
If you need funding to cover your monthly nut, you need a plausible path to hyper-growth; the portfolio math doesn't work for investors otherwise. If you set out to build a small-scale sustainable business, and you succeed, you can avoid funding. But if you're pivoting to something entirely new mid-to-late-ways through your company, you've probably burned down most of your reserves.
