The EU is mandating Apple to implement WiFi-Direct

WiFi doesn't fare any better than BLE under rubble unfortunately, but WiFi is going to be a useful technology to build disaster response tools in general
Jerry, if you think that by threatening me you can get me to be your slave... Well, that's where you're right. But - and I am only saying this because I care - there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.
Shamima Begum was not a "weird administrative crack", it was intentional persecution of someone born in the UK who was roped into terrorism as a minor.
Yes, but if the air pollution we're talking about is invisible then why would the rich elect for less exposure? Some might look at air quality data, but I suspect what is really going on is they seek out quiet. Noise pollution is the thing people really hate and avoiding that will likely lead to getting better air quality too.
I'm waiting for the excellent F# Article about railroad-coding to be posted here.
Required F#e reading :) No not trolling. Am on mobile and traveling else I would have searched-posted
Seriouseats, Epicurious, Bonappetit, or anything with Kenji Lopez-Alt (for always going the distance in methodically and empirically testing all variations of whatever he is evaluating/developing).

If you want something in the short form video era, I do appreciate Andy Hearnden (andycooks) as he is both concise, consistent and always posts the full recipe in the video descriptions (all too rare).
I can imagine a firefighter, miner or steelworks worker relying on the smartphone in emergency. Like, seriously, a miner, half of a mile under the rock.... Carrying smartphone?

Heavy duty wearable tags and a dense network of wall-mounted relays pinging them and triangulating 24/7 can be the only solution. Sure you can use BLE beacons for that, and this is being solved with multiple competing products as we speak (look up "locating objects in warehouse"), but specifically for the human safety applications, they would have to be imposed by the regulators. Workforce is seen as disposable and nothing short of laws and regulations is going to force employers to improve safety.
> you're so hyperbolic and hysterical I don't even know where to begin.

No they aren't.

The situation is just so absurd and extreme, yet normalized, that accurately describing it makes people sound weird. That's why Chomsky speaks in that extreme monotone, to counterbalance the very real horror and extreme nature of the things he is saying.
Switched to FreeBSD at home as well and it was such a wonderful decision.

As a long time Linux user, what was unexpected and eye-opening was seeing how FreeBSD does things. Somethings better and somethings worse. The better things are WAAYY better. And, for many of those things that felt better, in summary it's really the culmination of the entire ecosystem. The whole package is just better to me. The cohesive system is really a killer app. Oh, and pf is great too.

I havn't given up on linux; it's just running as a VM in bhyve now.

I also run Freebsd on a Thinkpad T490 laptop. Works great.
Birthright citizenship is increasingly controversial in a lot of countries, not just Japan.
Also note that the following is a valid Crystal-lang code:

%w[Peter Julia Xi].map { |name| "Hello, #{name}" }.each { |greeting| puts "#{greeting}! Enjoy your Crystal" }

As they put it:

>Crystal is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. With syntax inspired by Ruby, it's a compiled language with static type-checking.

But this time, one can probably say that Crystal will lake the benefits of ecosystem that only a large popular language enjoy.

I guess on that side F#, relying on .Net, is closer to Kotlin with Java ecosystem.
> There was a bit of an uproar a few years back about how many premiership football players were using asthma medication, a higher rate than the general population. The implication being that they were using them as performance enhacning drugs. But if you take into account that they disproportionately come from poor inner-city areas (not all, but many more), the proportion with asthma looks much more in line with the background rate.

That part can also be explained because asthma drug is used as masking agent when taking steroids and other PEDS, which is quite common at this level.
More interestingly IMO:

> In Block F, she worked on intercepted Japanese messages, something she excelled at so much that she was later sent to Washington to support the American war effort.[6]
More than 20 years, with a single-core Pentium 4, it could take indeed something like 3 days of continuous compilation to compile an entire Gentoo distribution, in order to have a personal computer with every application that one might want.

However, already after the appearance of the first dual-core AMD Athlon64, 20 years ago, that time could be reduced to not much more than a half of day, while nowadays, with a decent desktop CPU from 5 years ago, most Gentoo packages can be compiled and installed in less than a minute.

There are only a few packages whose compilation and installation can take a noticeable time, of up to tens of minutes, depending on the chosen options and on the number of cores of the CPU, e.g. Firefox, LibreOffice, LLVM.

There is only a single package whose compilation may take ages unless you have an expensive CPU and enough memory per core: Google Chromium (including its derivatives that use the same code base).
It would be nice to have a button to play a loud sound. A common use case is to play it when you are under ruin and you hear rescuers close to you. If the rescuers heard a loud sound, they can locate you quicker.

I don't know the amount of battery that is necessary to do that.
This website looks like it was designed by AI and no one even looked at the output.
The last sentence in the Directions section is reversed. in Part 2, Visual Indicators, the icons are not as described and are also reversed.
I believe it's a fairly common approach, so singling out Japan this way sounds a bit unfair. For sore Switzerland does it the same manner, for example.
I didn't go into the implementation details so I won't comment on that, but I will say that this is a really important problem to solve. I've long wanted/needed an agnostic sync layer that apps could use to sync my changes across clients and servers, and it would be great if app developers didn't have to put any work into it, they'd just point their database to a URL and the database would take care of all the syncing.

This means that the app developer could support private syncing without any effort, and I wouldn't have to pay a subscription just for sync, I could just run a sync server on my NAS and all apps would know to sync their data with it. Of course, app developers don't want this because subscriptions are a reliable income stream, but hopefully users would push for it.
Solar panel price have never been so low. It's only a matter of time before 'the invisible hand of economy' makes people buying them en masse.
I know someone who, at least over the last decade of so, says that he would have done far better just putting money in a NASDAQ index than doing angel investing.

~10 years ago, CouchDB was the answer to this problem. I don't know what the status of that is in 2025, but at the time it was used to e.g. sync airplane sales tablets with a central database once they were back on the ground and online.
Maybe this will help someone to not over-engineer a kart: in Vietnam you can rent karts bolted onto hoverboards. They have pedals for forward/backward that just tilt the hoverboard in the right direction. Very low-cost solution. Steering is normal with the front wheels.
If anyone would like to play with something more interactive, I'm testing out some new effects on Ambiphone, my ambient soundscape web app. The test version is at https://test.ambiph.one

There's a basic playback speed control now (basic in as much as it doesn't preserve pitch) plus things like reverb and delay effects

Here's some slowed-down ambient music: https://test.ambiph.one/?m=1-Slow+Realisation-ap50a25c60

You're being way too nice. Java stream is nowhere near as easy to use as LINQ. I'd say that LINQ is easily one of the top 10 coding features that Microsoft has ever created.
Arenko (energy transition/batteries) | London, UK | 2x/week in office

We work on industrial/grid-scale batteries and other renewable generation: monitoring, managing and trading them on multiple energy markets. Batteries like these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_energy_storage_system Everyone starting from the C-suite is passionate about addressing climate change and transitioning to renewable energy!

We're a small team of 7 backend engineers atm (other teams have Ops, FE and DS roles). We have paying customers and have been around for 10 years. Our current goal is to make the platform more scalable to deal with the customer growth and move to new markets. The biggest challenge is understanding how the various energy markets and energy storage in general work and then translating that to reliable working software.

We're currently looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Go). Our office is in London Blackfriars and most engineers come in about 2 days a week, but this is flexible.

Feel free to message me with any questions or apply directly:

So, there is a gazillion ways to do things and the community didn't settle on one? I don't find that very attractive when trying to learn a new language.
Imo, this is not just a vibe coders problem. It's been a classic builders mindset issue, where many start with building and look to find problem to the solution.
Yeah, what happened to CouchDB? I thought it would be much more popular, but I haven't heard of it in years. Maybe this problem isn't actually important, or maybe people don't know they can solve it in this way?
Musk is the share price.

Tesla could become a normal electric car and battery storage company and be fine, thrive even.

The share price would plummet to the same valuation as other companies doing similar work, which would be disastrous for people who bought in at the insane valuation that seems disconnected from reality and has done for years.
Powershell is probably more popular, it's used a lot for IT stuff so we never hear about it but it's there.
I have been living on a ketogenic diet for over 20 years.

I do find it strange that when I go to my GP to have my annual health check up, my cholestrol levels have always been below normal.

Yet, My daily fat intake is around 75% of my calories.

I do only eat quality fats, avacado oil, olive oil, butter and coconut oil, as well as the fats in the meats that I eat. I eat about 18 eggs every week.

I'm knocking on 70's door. Keto has worked for me, why not other people.

I was always told when I was a young man that high cholesterol was due to eating fats. yet this is not true.

Low fat Margarine was promoted as the next big thing for good health. years later we are now told its the most dangerous thing we can put in our bodies.

Eggs, in particular were the evil culprit, One must always avoid eggs.

I remember a TV advert in my teenage years promoting eggs with the line "go to work on an egg".

My ex-wife used to be a persoanl trainer who worked for the NHS with patients who had open heart surgery.

she told me, that when eating natural fats, the ones that out bodies recognise, our bodies take what it needs and then passes the rest out from our body.

When eating margarines and fake manufactured low fat spreads and oils etc, our bodies do not recognise the unnatural fats and cannot choose what to use and what to pass from the body, instead all the fats are absorbed into the body.

maybe an answer as to why half the population of the western world is obese.

I grew up on a family diet of meat and two veg.

Just installed Nuenki, really excited to give this a try. Amazing how it can hopefully iteratively help me learn Spanish while I don't change my behavior much.
To offer a counter view, for me, I might enjoy having the photos rendered in the Ghibli style for a short period of time, but they will never be either timeless moments of my kids, or stills from a timeless animated film. I'm always going to find myself associating the images with a fairly low-effort attempt to do something 'cute' because I am hard pressed to feel that prompting an AI and feeding it an existing image is the appropriate effort on my part to create something memorable.

This is highly personal though, and if it works for you, then you have one of the best reasons for using this sort of image generation -- to create memories and experiences with your family.
This is just excellent, it works a lot better than I thought it would. You can really drown in the song, whoa.

I'll add that there's a lot of extremely timestretched tracks from Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works II on youtube as well. They all sound glorious, too

Good to see a push towards less syntactic overhead, which is still considerable in JSON.
> The EU capped interchange fees at 0.3%/0.2%, for example, and purchase protection is still available just like before.

I think it is very symbolic and is a good example of differences between these two systems.

Those drawbacks are huge, IMO.
We're not there yet, but the latest AR glasses like the XREAL One and Lenovo Legion Glasses offer 1080p resolution. It's not retina-quality text, but it's like the workspace of a standard computer monitor, at a large size and at a considerable distance away.

I would go without this PCB. Normal wooden pieces with a magnet, and a normal board with a LED would look better, and would be cheaper. Plus a touch or e-paper display (who starts: white or black, ...)
In 2019, ambient air pollution claimed the lives of young children at alarming rates in several countries. Here's the top 10 list of countries with the highest number of deaths per 100,000 children under 5 due to ambient air pollution:
Nigeria – 18.95
Chad – 18.10
Sierra Leone – 12.02
Mali – 10.56
Guinea – 9.90
Niger – 9.64
Cote d'Ivoire - 9.04
Central African Republic - 8.79
Cameroon - 8.69
Burkina Faso - 8.68

These numbers highlight how air pollution isn't just an urban problem — it's a public health crisis in low-income countries where children are the most vulnerable.

I like that one a lot, too. But it's not the kind of music a lot of people like. You'll get mostly blank or concerned looks if you make everyone listen to it.
So much this. Just make sure their browser is working and updating and that office files automatically open with a fitting software.

Wouldn't a credit card charge YOU interest on the disputed amount until the case is resolved?
I'd guess that a big factor is differences in the type and particle size of the pollutant.

Large particles are probably a lot more localized, but pm2.5 are going to diffuse fairly evenly over a large area.

I'd guess larger particles and certain chemicals are more odoriferous as well.
Periodic and regular cycles (sine wave) suggests that there is over correction happening in the system, preventing a stable point. More regular measurements or tempered corrections may be called for.

Concrete example: the system sees it's queue utilization as high so it throttles incoming requests, but for too long, the queue looks super healthy on the next check, so the throttle removed but too long until checking again, and now the util is too high again.
That's interesting. Thanks for the heads-up.
Very nice product that Inkplate. Seems like it's a sweetspot where I can think about the content and not worry too much about the hardware aspect.
I always thought those are anti-strabism, not anti-myopia. Maybe I was poorly informed. Couldn't really get used to them. Horrible, horrible feeling.
Maybe I’m missing something, but why have a single piece PCB instead of individual parts with a 3D printed slot for the sensor and LED.

A few wires later and a model scale up and your chess board can be a different size.

I suppose one piece is easier and cleaner, just less flexible.
This is somewhat exaggerated.

The compilation of firefox could take a few hours on some laptop dual-core Skylake CPU from 10 years ago.

Nowadays, on any decent dektop CPU with many cores the compilation of Firefox should take significantly less than an hour, though it remains one of the handful of open-source applications with a really long and non-negligible compilation time.

The Linux kernel is normally compiled much faster than Firefox, except when one would enable the compilation of all existing kernel modules, for all the hardware that could be supported by Linux, even if almost all of that is not present and it would never be present on the target computer system.
The majority of the worlds miners work above ground - they still run the risk of stope (wall) collapse, but they're unlikely to find themselves under half a mile of rock.

In Australia, open-cut mining dominates coal production, accounting for over 80% of the total, while underground mining's share has decreased to around 15%. Open-cut mining is generally more efficient and cost-effective, allowing for higher recovery rates and larger-scale operations.

and

It has been estimated that more than two-thirds of the world’s yearly mineral production is extracted by surface mining. There are several types of surface mining, but the three most common are open-pit mining, strip mining, and quarrying. These differ from one another in the mine geometries created, the techniques used, and the minerals produced.

( https://www.britannica.com/technology/mining/Surface-mining )

Like anybody else in the modern world, it's hard to pry smart phones away from mine workers ...

Hey devs

I got tired of constantly switching tabs just to copy ticket titles or open cards, so I built this tiny CLI tool: *ShortID.dev*

It lets you:
- Pull ticket title, status, assignee from your terminal
- Open tickets with `shortid open ENG-123`
- Create aliases like `shortid alias ENG-101 login-bug`
- Auto-create Git branches with `shortid branch ENG-101`
- Works with Jira, Linear, Asana

I’d love your honest feedback
Gary Hustwit (Helvetica, Objectified) just made a worthwhile documentary about Eno: https://www.hustwit.com/eno

It's only streaming right now and each streamed version is unique, riffing off of Eno's "generative" music.
Generally the pollution comes together with other indesirable effects. Stench, noise, etc.

The rich don't need to understand that roads or ships generate deadly air pollution. They don't like living next to a highway or a container terminal, full stop. They do however love living next to a park or a lake.

In fact, so do poor people. But they can't afford it.
you can publish anonymously. no one hinders you. But in case it is illegal, prosecuters have evidence - which isn't malicious or bad per c'est. And, knowing which printer has been used for the illegal thing, doesn't mean the location of the printzer is known, too. So, no probs or conflict with that from my side.

If you really afraid, just overlay your PDFs with noise of yellow dots before printing. Or apply a digimarc pattern onto that with gibberish. That will mitigate recognition unless the digimarc pattern is recognized and removed, which is kind of difficult if unknown (https://www.digimarc.com/). There are possibilities.
Thanks for the feedback, I too thought about the moat here and there's technically none. But on the flip side, there's mostly no moat now a days for any product/tool imho. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Definitely I understand this is easily doable for an AI-native IDE like Cursor and they already have the distribution. I'm collecting more feedback as we speak and fingers crossed.
Another one of his iconic roles was as Doc Holliday in Tombstone(1993).
I would rather say that generations are a further improvement upon a moving collector, improving space usage and decreasing the length of the "mark" phase.

And which GC is fully concurrent? I don't think that's possible (though I will preface that I am no expert, only read into the topic on a hobby level) - I believe the most concurrent GC out there is ZGC, which does read barriers and some pointer tricks to make the stop-the-world time independent of the heap size.
Instead of overpaid and incompetent Consultant-people making choices on the payroll of politicians using taxpayers money, to implement costly and enshittified project recommendations. That the actual end-user that was never asked anything about. We can now replace the cuntsultants with an incompetent AI making the same faulty recommendations at ten times the speed and same cost, but ten times wider profit margin.

Splendid.
