There is another issue with all those growing 2FA/MFA protected accounts: managing your unexpected death.

How do you teach your beloved ones to access your accounts. And they need to remember what to do. For some accounts may it doesn't matter. For others that means to be able to end the subscription. Because not all subscriptions are associated with a credit card, which just expires.

But if you allow to contact a company by a third party to cancel and or change things then this becomes the go to for social engineering.

How are we doing with next-gen solar desalination?

Or has all science been defunded at this point?

https://news.mit.edu/2022/solar-desalination-system-inexpens...

I know some US warships have massive desalination plants onboard, are they nuclear powered? Can we use the new micro-nuclear-reactors to power those for cities?
There is a lot of stuff that people said about this solar that got overtaken by reality. And some of those people were proponents even.

People have underestimated economics, learning effects, and the effects of increased scale. Mostly the exponentials were actually pretty clear to some investors as early as 15 years ago. And the success those investors have had, has driven more investment.

The thing with exponential trends is that doubling a little bit results in a little bit more. It doesn't add up to something people notice until suddenly it jumps from fractions of a percent, to full percents, to double digit percentages in the space of a few years. That threshold got crossed a few years ago and people started to notice. And that's now leading to further price drops and more adoption. Of course, it's not a real exponential but an s-curve. But until the curve flattens, you won't be able to tell the difference.

Back of the envelope calculations can be misleading because they tend over simplify and make silly assumptions. Like assuming we are going to move 100% of energy to solar all at once. In reality, what we're doing is a decades long transition where most of the decision making is cost driven and the energy supply is coming from mixed sources.

We don't have just solar. We have existing nuclear. Existing deployments of coal and gas, which like them or not are not going to disappear overnight. And a lot of onshore and offshore wind. And a rapidly growing amount of batteries and cables which give us the ability to time shift supply and demand and move energy around over large distances.

The world's electricity consumption is about 30 PWh per year and will probably grow to 35 or 40 soonish. Most of that growth (>90%) will be powered by renewables. It's outgrowing everything else by a large margin. And because they are cheaper, there is also pressure to replace existing generation with renewables. That basically happens based on cost and age of plants.

This is another effect that people keep underestimating. The reason coal generation is rapidly disappearing from many markets (and is completely gone in some of them) is that replacing them with cheap renewables is cheaper than continuing to operate them.

That same effect is going to affect gas generation. Anyone building gas plants with the expectation that they'll have a 60 year life span is dreaming at this point. These investments should be considered as under water at this point. By the 2050s, most currently new gas plants will have probably have been mothballed (maybe kept around as rarely used peaker plants) or demolished. They are simply too expensive to operate relative to renewables. Some places keep gas prices low via subsidies (the US for example). But even there gas plants are going to face a reality check. And for a lot of countries, gas imports are a drag on their economy. Germany is a good example.

Worth observing what investors do here. They tend to have long term outlooks.

Simplifying OpenStack Deployment with NixOS: Introducing Openstack-Nix
At Cyberus Technology, we've built openstack-nix, a NixOS-based solution that makes deploying and testing OpenStack more reliable and reproducible. It lets you spin up a complete OpenStack setup with a single command, run tests inside NixOS VMs, and customize configurations effortlessly. No more dependency headaches or cumbersome hardware setups - just clean, modular OpenStack deployments.

Curious? Here's how we did it: https://cyberus-technology.de/en/articles/simplifying-openst...
Cigarettes aren't technology so they aren't applicable here, and do you think you would classify cars as "being put back in the bag"
It doesn't. It's just a meme. React has been around for eleven years now, and complaints about frontend churn started with the Angular 2 announcement (in late 2015)
Luckily most C++ developers don't immediately jump on and begin using backwards incompatible features. The C++ community is still only recently generally requiring C++11. And that's great. Introduce new features but don't immediately use them in practice. Some other languages and their communities could really learn from this.
Cleaning up or chemistry has been a losing race, you ban one chemical, they start using another two with yet unknown effects. Perhaps selectively extracting useful stuff like phosphor and burning the rest would be better.

man -a strtok

with all manual pages installed[1] (POSIX, Linux, BSD), you get a pretty good idea as to how to use it properly, or reading the SEI C Coding Standard helps. OpenBSD deprecated it in favor of strsep. It is not painful to use if you know (read all the manual pages at the very least).

Been happily using it for a long time (unless other functions are not more ideal for the specific use-case).

There are some things to pay attention to, but the manual pages pretty much tell you everything you need to know.

[1] https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/man-pages/ on Arch Linux, perhaps it is "man-pages" for other distros, too. As per Arch wiki: "man-pages provides both the Linux and the POSIX.1 man pages".

You may also do:

curl -sL 'https://man.archlinux.org/man/strtok.raw' | man -l -

or

curl -sL 'https://man.archlinux.org/man/getaddrinfo_a.raw' | man -l -

for "strtok", although not sure it provides ALL manual pages.

Sure, if you're going to deploy it on your company site, but I think if you're running a personal website and want to throttle LLM crawlers without falsely advertising that you're a furry, you could just go and modify this piece of MIT-licensed software.
Personal energy abundance and off grid independence is the good life and it means using all electric appliances and vehicles, heat pump and hot tub, powered by nonpolluting energy generation.

As the article alluded to, scale is important for this to work (although I get by fine using only thirty 400 watt panels (12kw) and this covers less than 30% of my roof).

As a remote worker, not commuting daily large distances is key to this system working. If I had to commute 60 miles every day I would need additional 10-15 panels to power the Ford Lightning EV truck, and if I was charging at night I would need six additional 100A 48v batteries.

You can generalize it if you want. Given powers of p in base b, what is the largest n=p^i such that each digit is divisible by k. Here we have: if p=2, b=10, k=2, then n=2048 and i=11. Why? Maybe there is a deeper reason that applies to all values of p, b, k.
We're rolling out new pricing in the next week or two that should likely cover your use case. Feel free to ping me directly, email in my bio, if you'd like to learn more.
Yeah, but how many powers of 2 have all odd digits?
Feynman's introductory physics course also entailed a lot of problem-solving and labs, in addition to the lectures that are the basis for The Feynman Lectures on Physics. If you go to The Feynman Lectures Website (www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu) and you take a look at the "Original Course Handouts" you can see the homework sets, quizzes and tests his students took (which are not for the feint of heart - many of the problems are quite difficult), and also the labs they did. For those reading the book now, there is also a supplemental volume (sold separately), "Exercises for The Feynman Lectures on Physics" which includes most of the problems given to Feynman's students, and many from later years given to students whose textbook was The Feynman Lectures on Physics.
This really misses the point.

Even if Windows/Linux do fractional scaling fine, integer scaling is still desirable if it’s an option. Under both I still run into programs that botch fractional scaling some way or another, and given the proclivity of programs on both platforms to be built with oddball UI toolkits I don’t expect that to ever really fully resolve itself.

It’s one of the chief complaints I have with one of my mostly otherwise good x86 laptops. The 1.5x scaling the display needs has been a pain point on multiple occasions.
They're deleted by default every 24 hours and that time is configurable. Not useful when you get 60 requests per second though.
The reality is you allowed them to do this when you accepted their terms of services.

If you don't know, stripe and virtually all tech companies have TOS that allowed them to do pretty much everything they want and since a TOS is considered a contract, good luck in the court where you will have to explain to the judge why your are complaining about the consequences of the contract nobody forced you to sign.
Anyone who could write this has apparently no familiarity with The Feynman Lectures on Physics, which is chock full of quite difficult mathematics.
We've reached a saturation of totally cromulent phones and phone services, TVs, consumer computing hardware and even cars that make it difficult to look at any reviews as furthering any sort of story of technical development as opposed to some sort of lifestyle trend versus a technological sea change.

Honestly, the most important new practical technological development of the past 5 years has been my damn pellet grill.

No use arguing with such a hateful person, but other people can easily see what Gaza was before they launched their genocide against Jews on October 7:

Check how does "concentration camp" look before Hamas started a war at expense of the peaceful population on both sides. There are many "Before October 7" videos on there, all with timestamps and sources from clips that Gazans publish themselves. Luxury villas, luxury cars, cute restaurants and good life all around. Also very sick children were routinly treated in Israeli hospitals for free. The main obstacle for poor Gazans was Hamas and their governing. Hamas also managed to smuggle enough concrete to build a tunnel system bigger than NY subway, instead of pumping these resources into Gazan society.
Indeed. It's really exposing a major downside to running applications in browser context. It never really made sense. These applications really don't want public traffic like actual websites do. They should remain applications and stay off the web. But more likely is that the web will be destroyed to fit the requirements of the applications. Like what cloudflare, etc, and all this anti-bot social hysteria is doing.
At one brief period of time, TSLA had an annualized P/E of 40 and a CAGR of 50%. Those were not unreasonable numbers.

It was a sideways reference to an old line from a detective movie.

I'm trying to say that the emperor is nude, and you are arguing that the threads might be so small as to not see them - or, rather, that the Media said he was naked, so while the president claims that he is wearing clothes, and that might be evidence he is deluded, his open ass in the wind not evidence of his pro-nudity leanings.

(This ignores the fact that he rose from the republican party, one that has been operating in full defiance of open democracy since bush v. gore. Republcans don't want "the will of the people", otherwise they wouldn't push so hard for voter suppression.)

It's a claim so baffling that it makes me assume you aren't operating in good faith.

npm is not deprecated and is a pretty good choice. pnpm is a bit nicer in some details, but it's a nonstandard tool - use it if you're familiar with frontend development enough that you understand the tradeoffs you're making, but otherwise sick with npm.

npx is a tool bundled with node/npm for running commands in isolated environments. It's mostly useful in two situations:

* You want to run a particular NPM-distributed tool as a one-off, and have the tool installed outside of your current project and then uninstalled afterwards. This can be useful for scaffolding or trying out tools released using NPM.

* You have a local project and one of the dev dependencies provides a utility to e.g. lint the code or run a migration. npx allows you to directly call commands installed locally without having to set up `npm run` beforehand.

If you don't know why you need it, you don't need it.

And with that said, while I'm relatively pro deep sea mining, we simply don't know enough about deep marine ecosystems to balance risks. Every societal action has environmental impacts. You can't avoid them, and your existence in a technological society comes with a ton of deliberate environmental harm. What's important is to properly balance society's needs with the fundamental harm that our society's existence causes. Deep sea mining _could_ be a good way of doing that.

But we can't balance impact when we have so little information about the ecosystems at risk here. We just don't know enough.

Marine science as a whole is very expensive, but desperately needs continued funding and is critical for a variety of reasons. It's often said, but we really do know more about the surface of Mars than we know about the surface of our own planet. We have to keep funding ocean science for a huge variety of reasons.

As an embedded developer I've long felt the web folks were crazy changing their frameworks all the time. They are not doing anything on the web we haven't done before.

The listed features are all functionalities that Apple is using to gain an unfair advantage for ADJACENT products and services. It is not an issue that iOS has such features, the EU doesn't care.

It is an issue that OTHER Apple products like Headphones, Smart Watches etc. are using them exclusively while competing with other vendors for the same customer.

The EU DMA has identified that Apple created a closed market of significant size, made themselves the gatekeeper and invited companies to compete there. But Apple decided to enter the market also as a player, and skew the playing field in their favor.

So it's an unjust market where forces are unable to flow freely, and the EU is attempting to rectify that.
