The government did not meddle with the hobby, though. You, hobbyist, can acquire and use as much lead as you want. You can order an 4kg bar of 60/40 lead solder on the internet right now. That's enough lead to measurably lower the IQ of 15 million children, if optimally applied. Nobody will stop you.

E. F. Codd thought about this issue.[0]

> Codd indicated in his 1990 book The Relational Model for Database Management, Version 2 that the single Null mandated by the SQL standard was inadequate, and should be replaced by two separate Null-type markers to indicate why data is missing. In Codd's book, these two Null-type markers are referred to as 'A-Values' and 'I-Values', representing 'Missing But Applicable' and 'Missing But Inapplicable', respectively. Codd's recommendation would have required SQL's logic system be expanded to accommodate a four-valued logic system. Because of this additional complexity, the idea of multiple Nulls with different definitions has not gained widespread acceptance in the database practitioners' domain. It remains an active field of research though, with numerous papers still being published.

I turn my TV on and off with a button on the TV. I never use the remote for any purpose, except turning off all the picture "enhancing" garbage.
That "AI remote" sounds like something that'd be satire 20 years ago. It's "intelligent" in that it controls you, not the other way around. As for TVs with cameras and mics, the Soviet Russia jokes just write themselves.
tv's file previewer is active per default, for fzf you have to hack it via --preview arg. subjectively tv is searching faster and previewer works faster than the fzf-preview.sh
Here's an AI feature I actually want: I want a language model to watch the show with me, and when I inevitably get distracted and miss something, I want to be able to ask the TV to explain what is going on. Since the TV is watching with me, it can answer my questions without spoilers.

They did a strange reorg of the API docs at one point. Not only does it now have functions split by A/W (mostly unnecessarily), it also groups them by header file instead of feature reference, which is kind of annoying. It used to be just that the function doc would note at the bottom if A/W variants were present and they were grouped under Functions in the feature/subsystem area of the docs tree.
Is anyone else reporting this, or is there a link to the purported document which doesn't require supplying an email address to The Intercept?
Because people lie to make money and keeping up with everything is exhausting. Free-range is a term regulated by the FDA but who knows the last time a regulator came by and checked the farm that the chicken came from? How do you tell the difference between a farmer that actually cares and is doing their best to be free range, and a farmer that's doing the bare minimum to meet that regulated standard when you're in the supermarket looking at a package? Is there a difference between meeting the minimum because you really care about chicken vs meeting the minimum because you care more about money? Why is the minimum in the regulation set at that level?

But more unfortunately though, they're not the same price and quality. Whole Foods is called Whole Paycheck for a reason. I can get cheaper food from a different store that's good enough.

I bought a very cheap Vizio TV around that time (I was in college) that didn't include a remote in the box. You had to use the app.

I'm sure I'm messing up some of the details, but --

The TV needed to be connected to a network for the app to work. The university required you to register the device's MAC address before it could join the network. The TV had an ethernet port, and its MAC was printed on a sticker on the back of the TV, so I was able to get that going. But it wasn't convenient to keep an ethernet cable routed to the TV (the room was awkward) so my roommate and I wanted to get it on the WiFi.

There was literally no way to open the TV's OSD and view the WiFi MAC address with the Vizio app. You needed a physical remote to access that part of the UI.

IIRC we ended up finding an old WiFi access point and connected the TV to it in order to view its WiFi MAC in the access point's admin UI.

They could have just given us a damn remote in the box! It was infuriating.
I just spent the last few weeks figuring out how to solve this problem for myself after running out of space on my free Google plan, so here goes.. I do have a NAS at home, so I was basically trying to move my backup from Google Cloud to my local NAS. Another consideration was that my wife should be able to use the solution so it needed to be simple and hands-off.

Probably the most difficult to solve for is Google Photos. Google offers 15 GB, and this gets filled up really fast if you take a lot of photos and videos. I don't, but still with every phone upgrade I've tried to move all files over to my new device, which results in space running out quite quickly. On top of that, Photos is actually _really_ nice. It works seamlessly, and offers features like facial recognition out of the box.

Anyway, I tried 3 different options - Nextcloud, Syncthing, and Immich.

Nextcloud was a little too complicated to setup, even with docker. Wasn't impressed by it.

Syncthing had an issue with Android app support. I think there are a couple of forks, but I didn't want to rely on that.

Immich was what I finally settled on. It is photos/videos specific, so doesn't work as a general purpose backup but I was more than happy just solving for this. My Google storage was being used roughly half and half by Email and Photos. Solving for half was good enough! On the plus side, Immich is a really impressive Google Photos replacement, and behaves almost exactly the same as the Google app, and has advanced features like facial recognition, dupe detection etc.

For email, contacts, SMS etc, I'm still relying on native Google backup.

Finally, there was Whatsapp. I had disabled Google backup a while ago, but wanted to preserve the photos from it. For that, I configured Immich to sync the whatsapp images folder with my library, and that's been working perfectly well.
This is confusing when you know that NULLs are not comparable, but it makes some sense if you consider the result of distinct/union as the output of a GROUP BY. You can consider everything that's NULL to be part of the same group, all the values are unknown.

So NULLs are not comparable but they are part of the same set.

Using \\?\ has a downside: since it bypasses Win32's path processing, it also prevents relative paths like d:test.txt from working. Kind of annoying on the command line with tools like 7z.exe.
To try and put my first comment more clearly: They both refer to distance removed from hardware. Neither refers purely to software things like webservers or application servers, which is how you and others described them in what I was first responding to.

"Server" does not solely refer to software, it is also a name used for hardware. Think along the lines of mainframe, host, hypervisor, and so on.

I was definitely under the impression that it is generating SVGs natively, and that was consistent with its output and its recent upgrades like good text rendering, and I'm fairly sure I've said as much to the CEO and not been corrected...

My impression formed from my time in cancer drug discovery is that bro science is, within practical bounds, a perfectly reasonable option for one arm of a comprehensive plan for treatment.

A lot of things that sound like bro science are actually broadly supported in the literature. But studying this stuff is hard because of all of the usual issues with human subjects, the less than complete reliability of our epistemic institutions, and the infeasibility of running enough trials to address every indication in every subcohort. So if anecdata supports some intervention that that isn't aggressively inconsistent with basic theory, won't make you miserable for what might be the rest of your life, and which you could try with the sober understanding that your One Weird Trick might not work, why not?

If nothing else, a well-documented case study with good adherence tells us of one more thing that didn't work, which is hardly the worst parting gift to the world.
From what I can tell, the driver author simply assumed that the user-mode graphics driver was running on a dedicated worker thread, and unconditionally set the thread name. However, when single-threaded mode is in use, it gets invoked on the application's thread -- and thus changes the name of the main thread instead.

CEF had this issue as well, and the result was that initializing the WebBrowser plugin in Unreal would rename the main thread there too.

Not sure why Meta called EMG as sEMG, this just going to mess up search and confuse people.

There are many useful surface electromagnetic (EM) waves for physiological signal detection, for examples ECG, EMG, EEG, and together they are referred to ExG with different magnitudes ranges and characteristics. But people don't refer to them with s initial sECG, sEMG or sEEG because by their very definitions they are belong to surface EM waves category.

> HN has a an automated simple proxy for flame-war detection. One characteristic of flame-wars is that people get into a to'n'fro over the issue, and the number of comments balloons. However, no one else is really interested, so they don't upvote the submisson, and the participants can only upvote a submission once, so the number of points doesn't increase.

> Result is that a simply proxy for a flame-war is the number of comments on a submission out-stripping the number of votes.

> A side-effect of that is that if there's a mildly interesting submission that lots of people comment on, but very few upvote, then the flame-war penalty will be triggered, and the submission will sink like a stone, never to be seen again.

It's not primarily the individual threads that I fear, it's the systemic effects of having them be more dominant.

> Are TVs really 90% cheaper since 2020 than they were in 2000?

This prompted me to look at my TV purchases. My last two TV purchases were both Samsung 55" TVs, one in 2009 for $2400 and one in 2017 for $1000, both bought at Best Buy. In both cases they were a tier down from the top of the line models.

Suppose TVs really did get 90% cheaper over 2000 to 2020. If we work out the average annual decline in price and apply that to my 2009 TV we get that in 2017 an equivalent TV should be around $1000, so that matches.

If we assume the decline continued at the same average rate after 2000, and apply that to those two purchases we get that today they should be around $440.

Looking at Samsung 55" TVs on Best Buy, it looks like $440 today would be around the top of the tier below the top tier (e.g., regular LED instead of QLED).
> Technically its about removing the server from my list of responsibilities.

Not necessarily. Back in the serverless CGI days you would still typically manage Apache. What you say is probably why would you choose serverless in 2025, but not always. This is not the technical differentiation.

> There is still a server running my app

There may be a separate server (e.g. Apache) that runs your app, but that is someone else's app, not your app. Calling someone else's app your own would be rather silly. Your application is less a server, which is a change from how these applications had normally been written over the past couple of decades. At least since the death of CGI, you would traditionally see your application become the server (possibly proxied through another server, but that is ultimately immaterial to the discussion). That is what goes away with serverless.
