I'm OK with installing my own plug into an appliance, like the Brits used to commonly do for approximately everything.

But (and I'm literally splitting hairs here) I'd like to find a 6-15P that has a captive fuse (like US christmas lights have), first:

The 13A maximum that a British appliance expects as a maximum is lower than the 15- or 20- amp circuit breakers that are listed for use in the States.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to exist.
This looks great. I would love to see something like this evolve to become the industry standard.

My only worry between then and now is will it run into a wall if it is unable to solve problems that build steps did?

Does it handle extensions that webpack did browser shims? I assume those will just be imported modules.

And of course it is a new-thing-to-learn(tm) which is always a tough sell to getting it used in a corporate setting. For good reason.

Here's some things I like about the idea, mostly duplicating what you said already:

1. By holding your project to a no-build constraint, that means we won't go down the rabbit hole of toolchains like we did with bower, webpack, etc. to fix any problem. Ever. Yay!

2. You really did simplify the "build" step. My personal experience has been that that has always been a source of frustration, especially since most developers just want to get-shit-done and the more deep-diving devs would have to martyr themselves to get it working again. Now hopefully they just need to understand one set of config to tweak to get the application working as is.

3. It feels to me like your project will own any breaking issues that come out of it. It's always been a pain when there was complexities at the edges of parts of the toolchain. If NPM v16 breaks with webpack v5 or whatever its version scheme is, one or the other needed to upgrade to fix it and the ownership of the issue wasn't always clear. Sometimes it would take awhile because of a niche interaction between the two. And of course upgrading past it had other painful breaking changes your legacy app needed to address.

Anyways, looks good! Keep it up & good luck! I'm curious to see where this goes.
They had some sort of revolution the previous few centuries too.

Pretending that Europe wasn't in a perpetual blood bath since the end of the Pax Romana until 1815 shows a gross ignorance of basic facts.

The only real market (that I can see) are shady data aggregators. Governments just file subpoenas, and abusive megacorps can file lawsuits (all the anti-SLAPP statues in the world can't prevent your Google account from being unmasked and having to pay for a lawyer). There is a limited market in the form of internet addicts who want to harass people for kicks (since finding an email gives them another route to do that with), but it's a small one. These people also tend to be entitled pricks, so they're not a very good customer base to have.

Your not using rational rose to rad up your Java app?
I'm well aware that browsers don't run TS. But in this instance we are talking about the server side runtime.

Building is creating the runnable artefact, but in the context of the server this artefact is already runnable, so I'd just call that "interpreting" the program
Plausible. But is this just post rationalising, or do you have some evidence it was planned before the gesture?

No.

In this case we are talking cars. They are expensive items and there are many incentives not to have more than you need.

I was in the V.I for almost 10 years. They have the safari system set up but it only runs on the tourist routes. So you're out of luck unless you lived on one of the two main routes that had the safaris.

When the ports were full of cruise ships, you could expect to spend 45+ minutes getting from Charlotte Amalie to Red Hook. Sometimes I spent an hour going from Charlotte Amalie to Havensight. That was only a distance of about 2 miles.

The V.I is extremely corrupt and the taxi unions there have a great deal of influence. That's why the public transportation never improved while I lived there.

I'm not gonna end up replying to this thread again, because it's a waste of my time. But I will elaborate on some things.

> You have clearly made excuses for Hector.

This is how posts like this use semantic drift and context collapse. Take this for example:

> Against the decision that the project made, that is very straightforwardly sabotage.

I can believe that the definition of the word "sabotage" applies in this situation without supporting every last thing about Hector and his actions. But because Hector is originally the one who said this, you turn my specific statement into some sort of generic "making excuses."

Also, the first and third comments have nothing to do with Hector. The fourth one is just stating some facts?

> And how can you not deem it wrong of him to begin social media brigading?

Because this is also making a mountain out of a molehill. Hector complained on Mastodon about something that was happening. He was very clearly burned out and upset.

Do I think it's good? No. Do I think it worked? No. But I'm not particularly interested in trying to pass some sort of judgement about if Hector is Good or Bad simply because he said a bunch of things when he was at his whit's end. If I did, I would be quite the hypocrite.

Notably, I also am not interested in passing judgement on weather Christoph Hellwig is a Good or Bad person.

None of this is about that. I don't know either of these people. They could be having a bad day. Or maybe one or both of them are evil. I don't know and I don't really care.

> How can you not deem it wrong of him to begin making a "hall of shame" list?

I don't use mastodon, and so I didn't really see this follow-up. I'm aware it exists, but not of what's in it or what it's about. Maybe it sucks. No clue.

> If it is true that you, Steve Klabnik, were "Community Team Leader for the Rust team at Mozilla, in charge of official Rust community documentation as well as the key Rust community advocate.", can you confirm that you were in the past paid to be an advocate for Rust? And if yes, are you still paid to be an advocate for Rust?

Listen man, if you want to play Joseph McCarthy, be my guest, but I'm not going to engage. It doesn't really matter what I say.
I'm old enough to remember the public debate about human cloning and human germ-line engineering. In the 1970s some argued like you are arguing here, but those technologies have been stopped world-wide for about 5 decades now and counting because no researcher is willing to work in the field and no one is willing to fund the work because of reputational, legal and criminal-prosecution risk.
So, according to basic Ant-Man theory, if I were hit by one of these, it should be like getting all that (10% of a) ping pong ball energy concentrated in a tiny spot, causing me to fly backwards across the room?
He was already killing it when he was at Microsoft. (I can tell, because I worked at a pretty big EU based Microsoft partner at the time).

Note that pretty major stuff like .NET (developers, developers, developers!), Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, Surface, Xbox, and Azure all got launched under his watch.

Sometimes I even think Nadella fucked it all up. Windows 10 was meh, Windows 11 is shit, Mobile was killed even though the Nokia phones were top notch, Sony just publishes first party games on PC to earn extra cash while MS needs to do it to keep the Xbox division alive (because everything released on day 1 on Xbox is also released on PC so why bother with a console...), the AI hype will not lead anywhere, and I could go on and on...

... but oh well.

I don’t understand this. Are you not familiar with farming and houses? You know humans grow plants to eat (including in backyards and balconies in cities) and make cabins, chalets, houses, entire neighbourhoods (Sweden currently planning the largest) with wood, right?
I've found that when I'm cloning submoduled private repos via YK-backed SSH key, I'll need to touch multiple times but there's not always text in the terminal notifying me to do so. Easy to miss the small flashing green light.
How many customers does a street parking outside a business really provide? 1 customer an hour? And how many will park there and go somewhere else not even visiting the store with the curb parking?

Cars don't visit shops, people do. From the amount of visitors a store in a street sees, vanishingly little of them comes from the few parking spots outside. Metro, buses, cycling however brings loads.

Personally I avoid the shopping streets with car traffic. Feels hostile and noisy. I go to the shops in pedestrian areas.

How? Quarks can't change into leptons. Charged leptons can't change directly into other charged leptons. And neither charged leptons nor hadrons are going to pass through such a quantity of matter, as you say. I mean I assume other cases are technically possible but they don't seem very likely...
Consider that the people who feel most disenfranchised might not be coming to the meetings and such you're drawing from.

I don't really understand your second statement, it would only make sense to me if you didn't consider the homeless to exist as people. But I take the impression that you don't feel that way. So I don't really see why you feel you can discard them and conclude not calling the police is a "message board phenomenon" rather than a "very low on the ladder" phenomenon.

I've met people offline who tell me they don't call the police in a way I find credible, I don't know what else to tell you. I suppose the reason I responded to your comment was because it felt like a "message board phenomenon" to me, it didn't match my experience interacting with people offline.

The mean free path of much lower energy neutrinos in lead is about a light year.

The MFP of a 120 PeV neutrino in lead would be something like 10 kilometers, I think.
There's no objective definition of what progress even means so the guy is kinda right. We live in a postmodernist society where its not easy to find meaningfullness. All these debates have been discussed by philosophers like Nietzche and Hegel. The media and society shape our understanding and importance of whats popular, progressive and utilitarian.

Got this one after a few refreshes. After having just read through a handful of statements, most of which can be understood as a complement, I sat there trying to figure out how to take this obvious advise as a complement before realizing I was trying to make sense of AI garbage. Then I had to appreciate the silliness of the whole thing and had a good laugh.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. It's usually super easy, but people forget to add it all the time.
If anything, cars (and the necessary infrastructure for cars) severely limit the independence of children and senior citizens. Children often can't get to school without their parents driving them. And seniors become homebound and isolated sooner when they're no longer able to drive themselves to the grocery store and their friends.
If we had the ability to detect neutrinos in such a small volume as a solar panel they’d be immensely valuable for communication - we’d be able to beam signals directly through the Earth, or through deep water.
Fantastic project and great writeup! The screen tradeoff with needing triple buffering but getting integer scaling was interesting to hear about - any feeling as to whether it adds human-noticeable latency vs. original hardware?

I immediately copy/pasted in some smut to check if it was going to lecture me on my moral failings and was pleasantly shocked to find a corporate AI model that did what I asked without pushing puritanical nonsense one me.
Oddly another detector caught a burst of low energy neutrinos that came a few hours before the burst that everyone accepts was from 1987a

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092765051...

Low energy tachyons would go a little faster, but you've got the additional problem of explaining why neutrinos got emitted in a spectral line.
Maybe you're thinking of NEMA L6-15 or 14-30 or something?

6-15P isn't big or honkin'. It is about the same size as a regular US plug, and differs mostly in that the contacts are just rotated 90 degrees.

If anything, it's a bunch smaller than what much of the rest of the world plugs their own kettles in with, like a British type G or a Schuko.
> Say I have a theory that the brain is an unnecessary organ. Can I go around removing pig brains in the name of “neuroscience research” and get a free pass?

Of course there are proposal review processes for research involving animals, that considers the potential benefits versus the harm done.

You may disagree with the standards and decisions of review processes, but they are ubiquitous today.

thank you for your approval of the 'no build' approach. We don't have to necessarily discuss the "framework perspective" of this topic - this all is more like a concept, a "lego mashup" of several standards:

- import map: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/sc...
- TypeScript runtime: https://www.reddit.com/r/typescript/comments/y8tsav/comment/...
- SSR & Hydration: https://zustand.docs.pmnd.rs/guides/ssr-and-hydration

So even without naming a new framework, one can simply pick up the "base concepts" above and mix them together, and have something similar :)

(of course as @root_axis mentioned: sooner or later any concept materializes as a "framework" or at least a "library" - so while we unfortunately can't change the nature of society, we can actively choose what we use & what we don't use. Psss: tbh i'm not really a framework person myself haha)

This article seems openly misogynistic. There's nothing inherently "effeminate" about refusal to work, brooding over obstacles, perhaps having principles or ethics falling in the way of becoming a quant at an HFT firm. I also feel like the term "trannyism" as used in the article just seems vacuous. What is that word trying to inspire?
Just because you have the ability to be stoic for work isn't making you more valuable as an individual. Does it allow you to increase your margins? Sure. But that ethical argument has absolutely nothing to do with where someone lies on this new masculinity contest everyone seems to engage in. Just because you have a Y chromosome doesn't mean you don't have Fragile X.

Timescale

[ Global | 100% Remote | Multiple Roles: Eng, Product + more ]

Timescale is continuing to grow rapidly, and we’re hiring for many roles involving distributed systems and databases.

Timescale extends PostgreSQL to handle relational data, time-series, events, real-time analytics, and vector search in a single application database. It’s built for data-heavy, mission-critical apps while retaining the familiarity and reliability of Postgres. Ideal for IoT, crypto, finance, SaaS, and more.

Database code all available on github; we don’t have any “enterprise versions”, so all our database code is available for the community for free. Currently, see more than 3 million databases running TimescaleDB a month.

That’s because our commercial focus is on our fully-managed cloud platform, so in addition to folks implementing the core database (C, Rust), we’re also heavily hiring for folks with operational cloud & database experience at scale (Kubernetes with custom k8s operators, Golang, etc), as well as folks interested in providing highly technical support, database release engineering, and building database testing infrastructure (think performance analysis, distributed database correctness testing, etc.) And product folks to support these efforts & all our users!

Lots of fun engineering and product work with an amazing company culture. Check us out: https://www.timescale.com/careers

RTX 6000 Ada Gen had EPS12V 8 pin or something?
On my current mobile plan (Google Fi[0]) the kind of streaming 3D world they think I would want to download on my phone would get me throttled in less than a minute. 200 MB is about a day's usage, if I'm out and about burning through my data plan.

The reason why there isn't as much demand for mobile data as they want is because the carriers have horrendously overpriced it, because they want a business model where they get paid more when you use your phone more. Most consumers work around this business model by just... not using mobile data. Either by downloading everything in advance or deliberately avoiding data-hungry things like video streaming. e.g. I have no interest in paying 10 cents to watch a YouTube video when I'm out of the house, so I'm not going to watch YouTube.

There's a very old article that I can't find anymore which predicted the death of satellite phones, airplane phones, and weirdly enough, 3G; because they were built on the idea of taking places that traditionally don't have network connectivity, and then selling connectivity at exorbitant prices, on the hopes that people desperate for connectivity will pay those prices[1]. This doesn't scale. Obviously 3G did not fail, but it didn't fail predominantly because networks got cheaper to access - not because there was a hidden, untapped market of people who were going to spend tens of dollars per megabyte just to not have to hunt for a phone jack to send an e-mail from their laptop[2].

I get the same vibes from 5G. Oh, yes, sure, we can treat 5G like a landline now and just stream massive amounts of data to it with low latency, but that's a scam. The kinds of scenarios they were pitching, like factories running a bunch of sensors off of 5G, were already possible with properly-spec'd Wi-Fi access points[3]. Everyone in 5G thought they could sell us the same network again but for more money.

[0] While I'm ranting about mobile data usage, I would like to point out that either Android's data usage accounting has gotten significantly worse, or Google Fi's carrier accounting is lying, because they're now consistently about 100-200MB out of sync by the end of the month. Didn't have this problem when I was using an LG G7 ThinQ, but my Pixel 8 Pro does this constantly.

[1] Which it called "permanet", in contrast to the "nearernet" strategy of just waiting until you have a cheap connection and sending everything then.

[2] I'm told similar economics are why you can't buy laptops with cellular modems in them. The licensing agreements that cover cellular SEP only require FRAND pricing on phones and tablets, so only phones and tablets can get affordable cell modems, and Qualcomm treats everything else as a permanet play.

[3] Hell, there's even a 5G spec for "license-assisted access", i.e. spilling 5G radio transmissions into the ISM bands that Wi-Fi normally occupies, so it's literally just weirdly shaped Wi-Fi at this point.
I get your point. But ever so often you stumble upon someone actually doing exactly that within their particular interest domain, such as the guy in Netherlands who buys and tests bike lights

You got it all wrong on Mazda. It's your opinion, but not publics and they're doing damn well now, especially with their great recent SUVs.
There are no good solutions for existing neighborhoods with street parking. In new or completely redeveloped neighborhoods, you can make the streets narrower, the lots larger, and the property owners responsible for parking. But street parking in existing neighborhoods doesn't scale. If the neighborhood is getting more dense with gradual redevelopment, every solution to street parking is going to feel unfair to one group or another.

You could issue street parking permits to the residents of the old properties but not of the new ones. Or you could adjust the prices of the permits to achieve the desired occupancy rate. Or you could keep parking free, fine improperly parked cars, and let the residents decide for themselves if the car is worth the inconvenience of finding parking.
