If you want repairability then you can buy a Dualit. They are unreasonably expensive but very easy to fix. Mine is 25 years old. I replaced one of the elements a few years ago. It's held together with screws and bolts - totally user-repairable.

Fun project, nice write-up, but not solving a problem that needs to be solved.
The gain of cowardice and/or implicit official approval by not reflexively cracking down on them.

In the 18th to 19th century American administrations weren't squeamish to outright use the army to gun down riots or insurrections. Influenced perhaps by the very literal "reading of the riot act" as an official threat to shoot entire crowds as an accepted thing. Attempt death threats to public officials then and the only question was if you would be shot or hanged for doing so. The appetite for that has been lost over time, perhaps related to Kent State and Tienanmen Square changing the optics from 'strong authority restoring order' to 'depraved psychopathic tyrannical government'.

Not that we need that level of violence, all that is really needed to is to give the Secret Service standard of treatment for death threats to the president handed down to all other lesser officials. If being tracked down and arrested was an absolute certainty instead of something they could think they could get away with.

I like Odin, but the creator is not too motivational (or rather, actively un-motivational)[1]. I still use it nonetheless for some of my own stuff, for now.

Regardless, I do recommend people to try it out. I use Linux and OpenBSD, too, despite Linus and Theo. :)

Oxygen has a strong green emission, so gases rich in oxygen may appear green, which is why many nebulae are green, like also most auroras in the Earth's atmosphere.

Therefore indeed a star behind gas rich in oxygen may appear green, but that green light comes from the gas, not from the star.
I have been watching with interest. I can't help but think Rust will easily win. Zig isn't different enough, and it's somewhat opinionated (in good ways but not always clearly better)

> The USSR didn’t actually have economic equality.

More or less it had. Except for privileged commie bosses everyone poor. "Rich" had cars (!) Having noticeable business was prohibited. Selling own potatoes on flea market, or growing chicken and pigs was fine.

> The US has drastically lower tax rates for capital gains.

In Mass. it's 10% to begin with.

> I’m saying economic growth is slowed through the economic inefficiency resulting from unequal taxation.

Not sure about this. Do you have examples when equal taxation helps?

That exactly is the point of the program. A shift to an IP network.

Where Starlink comes in is in the intermediate step. Before Verizon finishes running their MPLS network, there's a program called RTRI that provides an off ramp for TDM, so when Lumen stops serving, they have something. It's contracted to L3Harris and runs over SDWAN while using any network as an overlay. Satellite (including GEO), Cable and 5G (anything available really)
> This is such a bullshit argument it really paints the rest of your comment in a bad light.

I responded to a comment stating that excess storage can be stored in batteries: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43249008 I'd suggest reading the comments people are responding to before calling them bullshit.

> You can get so far by just storing up to 12 hours OF NIGHT TIME on a local level.

"only" 12 hours of storage is 30 TWh of storage, at the world's current electricity consumption rates. This is an immense amount of storage, amounting to decades worth of global battery production. And that's ignoring the fact that the vast majority of batteries are going to electric vehicles, not grid storage. It's true that battery production is growing, but electricity demand will similarly grow as fossil fuel use in transportation and industrial processes are electrified. Out of all of our fossil fuel use, electricity production is only ~40%. Not to mention, poorer countries are developing and will eventually start deploying refrigeration and air conditioning on similar scales as developed countries.
I think US can try to covertly move some hundreds of nuclear missiles in Taiwan and succeed until China notices.
I used to use an EDID patcher written in Ruby but it stopped working on some version of macOS. Contained in that script is how it patches the EDID data which is what I got to work with BetterDisplay.

FWIW, here's the hacked script[0] which only keeps the EDID data patching part. Be warned it's very hacky with the base64 EDID to be patched hard-coded in line 8 of the script. It prints out the patched EDID base64 which should be entered back into BetterDisplay (which is also where you can get the unpatched base64 EDID).

It's pretty sad. I'm in the process of moving, and while I did so, I shucked much of my DVD collection - Everything is in three ring binders now, because they're so much more convenient, and much smaller in my storage.

While I was doing so, a bunch got ripped and transcoded into Jellyfin. It's pretty great, having them available all the time. Piracy is obviously an option, but it's not a great one.

What? I really want out of my DVDs, though, is the assurance that I've got the same DVD as other people do. Advent of AI, there's no reason that I couldn't be being fed a different version of every show I watch than everyone else. I know. They could be rendering stuff in real time. It's not that far off. The nice thing about a hard copy is that it can't be changed on you.

There's other ways of doing this of course, but having talked to library scientists of late, they are not nearly the right kind of paranoid for what I'm afraid of.
Yes, it is per year! Too late to edit now. :(
The whole point is to introduce value types without a .NET Framework vs .NET Core schism.

Random jars taken out of Maven central should be able to continue to execute in a Valhala enabled JVM, without changes in their original semantics, while at the same time being able somewhat to take advantage of the Valhala world.

Naturally there is always the issue of APIs that no longer exist like Thread.stop(), but that is orthogonal to the idea to have binary libraries keep working in a new value aware world.

There are tons of compiler changes, minimal semantic changes and keeping bytecode ABI as much as possible is the engineering challenge.

i've been occasionally trying to get some usable ambience tracks from these various models, but none of them seem to be able to produce looping tracks

based on results so far it also looks like more flexible approach to ai generation would be to generate set of stems/samples based on user description and let them to actually compose instead of producing complete audio (maybe this is already happening somewhere)

- in either case, properly looped tracks will be most likely necessary to be produced by these models at some point
> I suspect you have probably had limited experience with in office work and automatically assume that everyone was miserable back pre-pandemic about it.

Instead of speculating, we can look at the data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1401265/preferred-work-s...

Fully 91% of IT workers prefer to be fully remote or remote-first with no requirement to go into the office regularly, and it was disproportionately the first one. 6 of the remaining 9% still wanted to be remote first.

Only 1% of people wanted to be fully office-based. That's 3% less than the Lizardman's Constant.

As we can see down thread, people have got into a terrible mess of duelling propaganda and gone mad about wind power.

We can have cheap clean energy, it requires a small amount of change, oh no, let's destroy everything instead.

I'm going to start suggesting that planning should have a local referendum: approve this set of projects and you'll get cheaper electricity. Disapprove and your bill goes up. Democratic choice, but with consequences.
OK, here's a pretty niche blast from the past: the boo programming language. It ran on the CLR (.NET) and had syntax similar to python. I recall using it back around 2006 - 2008 because it offered scripting features for .NET on Windows.

https://boo-language.github.io/ "A scarily powerful language for .Net". I didn't use it for too long before switching to Iron Python.
nowadays (past few decades) 'mine' (and farm) are often used in place of gather, esp. when it comes to game communities, e.g. 'mine' wood in 'warcraft III'. Farm any sort of materials, equipment, reputation, etc. So I suppose it's not that far fetched.
Actually both the UK and Ireland were the only two EU members not part of the Schengen Zone (opt-outs since 1997). Since UK Brexit'ed in 2020, that just leaves Ireland.
You forgot employers NI

(for the unfamiliar - the employER has to pay 15% from April - not a typo - of part of your salary in taxes to the government and this is hidden from your payroll taxes as an employee)

What's the % if you include those deductions?

In my case my tax rate is 29% but employers NI is 13% so 42%, going up to 44/45% in April

I would be surprised if he doesn't do this, judging by his long track record of not paying his contractors and business partners after receiving their goods and services.
Yes, and the chip on her shoulder is that she never managed to produce research and the community told her that.
So what can we do to prepare? Like how do you protect against a drone swarm? Can you hack them from afar? Make them unable to communicate? Anything??

SSD is fine. I have a rework station. I haven't upgraded the other things in a computer for about 15 years.
It is not a petty tantrum though it might look like one. You have to consider that the incumbents have won the US elections, that's not a small feat. What many people are missing is that if the US main challenger is China and beating Russia is a far thing, then it makes sense for the US to ally with Russia against China. For that, the US might need to give Russia something (some EU countries?) for this hustle and also refund it for the earlier war (yep). But if the administration believes this is worth it to contain China then it's the right call.

This is why European countries are freaking out. They might be seeing the change as being more fundamental than a two guys liking/hating each other and that a trade might involve their territory in an unfortunate moment (though a part of this is their own negligence).
There already is. It’s just done through non-conventional means, hybrid warfare and proxies, since all superpowers have nukes now.
That’s really weird, I have HomePods gen 1 & 2 (and a few mini’s) and they’ve worked fine so far. More often than not my room mates are more of a problem than the HomePods. Usually someone will connect their call to a random HomePod, which is usually pretty disconcerting.

I will say though I rarely ask the HomePods themselves to play music and almost always use a phone to start the music. I have ~7 connected around the house. I used a few different voices though so I know which one responded so I know which one to go after if I set a timer, since 3 share an open loft area and for that it can be a bit weird which one gets the request.
You bring up a good point in that at one point it is also about ensuring the quality of materials and construction processes so that everything lasts by default. On top of that, repairability is another factor. I have a fancy kettle that I am sure will not last five years, and I regret buying it.
Whilst brexit was a bad idea —- look forward not backward! Planning reform is a viable opportunity and making it as good as possible is a much better use of energy than moaning about mistakes past.
I like Perl mostly because it's poetic (the code is super nice to read, with variable types standing out thanks to sigils), but another core strength is how very fast and light it is.

Instead of "cross-compiling" or just running a native perl interpreter (there's one for about every platform!), I prefer how Actually Portable Executables make Perl multiplatform with just 1 binary asset running everywhere!

I wanted to write a webserver processing CGI to learn more about the "old school web", so I wrote https://github.com/csdvrx/PerlPleBean and the simplicity of just downloading and running the .com on anything is very nice

I'm now trying to do the same in Python3, but it's not as fun - and I'm not yet to the part where I will try to safely run python code within the python webserver, either through restrictedpython or ast.parse(), ast.walk(), eval(compile()) ...
> Brexit was the most stupid thing a country ever did to itself,

Trump tries very hard to make Brexit the second most stupid thing a country did to itself.
>a "verbal offer" of future security guarantees from the Trump Admin aren't worth anything.

They still think it's worth more than surrendering now to China.

While US is dependant of Taiwanese fabs, they will intervene if China tries to occupy Taiwan. But US is working towards not relying on Taiwan's fans, so US based security won't last long.

In the end, they'll either have to surrender or build nuclear deterrent fast and unnoticed.
Using “glass” as a strict equivalent for “silicate glass” is incorrect. Metallic glass is glass. Not the glass you are used to, but still glass.
Australia is a hot country, with lots of sunshine, lots of windy coast and not a lot of people per square mile. And peak demand (summer days for AC) corresponds for peak solar irradiation.

Europe, for example, is the other way around for most of the above.
In the scenario I propose, 200 is less than the 400 requested, so it's incomplete. The cache is permitted to retain the smaller request, and return bytes that fall exclusively within, but like I said, I don't think it's free return 200 octets when 400 are requested. If it was why would it make the other statements?

I do think the cache is allowed to retain, and respond for the 200 bytes. I don't think it's free to ignore the header updates, nor do I think it's free to return half the requested bytes in lieu of extending the existing cache.

Isn't this bad news for Intel? Personally I'not sure. An on shore TSMC will certainly help Intel with easier access to knowledge and experienced researchers and workers. OTOH having a US based alternative to their fabs makes them less needed for a strategic pov.

"...energy use per unit of GDP is the lowest in the G7"

The article characterises that fact as "energy starvation". Wouldn't "efficiency" be a better analysis? Low energy use per GDP or per capita is surely a thoroughly good thing.
I hope they both die slow painful death. As they are looking now for the last fool who will pay for everything. Musk is not doubt involved. Hope Trump is smarter than that and will not funnel taxpayers money (my money!!) into crooks pockets.
My toaster broke a week ago. I tried repairing it and found out exactly what the post says: almost impossible without breaking it (or seriously bending parts just to take them apart). After realizing that I wouldn't be able to, I decided to buy a used one, but couldn't find any on offer around my area that looked in good enough shape. Ended up paying 25€ for a new one, which will arrive by post any time soon. I find the whole experience extremely unsatisfying and would love more of this (repairable and self-assembly-able electric appliances).

But China also watches Ukraine and knows there is no 3 day success story here. It will grind. There will be a contested beach landing, there will be fleet losses, there will be significant manpower losses and there will be immediate trade economic losses. An immediate embargo on steel, coal and oil in, massive downturn to trade. Mind you the $780b+ of US debt will come in handy as a lever

There has been no significant loss of life in the PLA since Korea, noting perhaps minor spats with Vietnam or India. Tens of thousands died in 1979, similar numbers now in current times will be a hard swallow. And I would predict higher losses. When you have twenty aircraft carriers losing one or two is sad but wearable. China has three. If they conduct àir assault from the mainland they're incurring burdens there too. Static defences will be overwhelmed both sides. So.. some amount of airfield and strategic oil supply hits.. where do you go next?

Xi Jinpeng has to speak belligerently but the party secretly hopes Taiwan will blink first because actually incurring a tide of blood stains his legacy. If Xi dies soon, yes. Somebody might risk this as a signature move.

Taiwan is tiny, but pretending a 3 day war and done can happen after Ukraine is insanity.
> Postwar Britain had been swept up by the theory that nationalization created economies of scale that gave citizens better outcomes than pure capitalism. “There was an idea that if we could rationalize the planning system … then we could build things in the right way—considered, and planned, and environmentally friendly,” ... But the costs of nationalization became clear within a few decades.

Central economic planning - the eternal hope that never works.
It is also pleagued with high taxes, something the tory party did nothing to address. And labour seems to think the solution is more taxes, and oh surprise, this hurts the economy further.
Nobody wants to see any electricity infrastructure being built. The British media is so inward looking and personality driven nobody will dare to connect "no infrastructure" with "high prices".

There are many VCs in the crypto space, and there are many kinds of liquidity arrangements in the crypto space, a subset of them are coin related and snapshots are the preferred way, now. ICO-type ones are pretty rare but the VCs one debut at extremely high valuations for the crypto space

A VC saying “dont do a coin” which is probably what you meant, is also probably not funding a crypto venture. yeah, that makes sense to say you arent investing in a meme coin, since seemingly everyone with a platform sullies their brand this way
