CEQA itself is a mixed bag. I want to be clear that there are very important things the CEQA does to improve our environmental conditions[0]! The very real issue of CEQA being “weaponized”[1] stems from how environmental complaints have to

After reading over the EPA letter[0], I can't help but wonder whether the final paragraph gives a "bad faith out" to John Deere and their ilk. You could disingenuously interpret the "increment of time necessary to effect

Been playing around with Clickhouse a lot recently and have had a great experience particularly because it hits many of these same points. In my case the "local files" hasn't been a huge fixture but the Parquet and JSON inges

Curious if anyone has done anything meaningful with SAM2 and streaming. SAM3 has built-in streaming support which is very exciting. I’ve seen versions where people use an in-memory FS to write frames of stream with SAM2. Maybe that is goo

Have long been interested in something like this. From where to where? How did you arrange the trip?

This is correct, and the lack of a MagicDNS solution is definitely felt when using Nebula (esp. when switching from Tailscale)

Nebula[0] addresses this and is IMO an improvement over WireGuard. Came out of Slack originally, and it supports peer discovery, NAT hole punching, and some other cool features. Also still uses the Noise Protocol. In practice, the extra net

It’s been some years but I recall that at one point probably around 2016-2017, California produced 80% of the world’s almonds. This was notable because at the same time, California was experiencing historic droughts.

Honestly, I was so confident in what I thought I knew (namely evil giant Alaskan mosquitoes) that I didn’t bother to read the article I linked, I just added it for others’ context. Culiseta alaskaensis is probably the source of confusion, a

I think moving OTA updates for embedded devices to project-specific key management rather than relying on web roots of trust should become the norm. Since your firmware images should themselves be signed and relying on some physical fusing

Thought pointedly not a podcast, the YouTube channel Historia Civilis was my go to thing to fall asleep to for a while. The simple animation style and depth I found very soothing.

First: I appreciate the overall tone of your comment. It's a polarizing subject, and I feel this is very much in good faith. I think there's two important points you made that I'd like to address: 1. Failures to apply meaning

Is there a robust library for good quality cables somewhere? I remember a few blog posts that did larger tear downs, but I’d love to just be able to go to a site that has validated cables and know with some confidence “this is a real TB5 ca

Or they live in fancy houses because they're doing a great job at ensuring their union members get better wages and working conditions? Harold Daggett has been the main labor leader getting criticized recently for a large salary. He&#x

Not that anyone is disagreeing, but it bears repeating: This is a lack of any real pressure from regulators, not a technical challenge. Or rather, there may be technical challenges but they absolutely can be overcome, and aren’t being tackl

From the picture it looked to me like it was more aligned with the DAC, although I double checked and I don't think that any DACs of that size would be in the order of 20-30 grams. Could a discharge be angled like that within the confi

Stories like these are my catnip. The 500 mile email is another great one. How did you end up debugging/reproducing? I conjured a picture in my head of an engineer comically exasperated and squeezing the controller followed by an “Aha!

Would you be willing to share your must-sees? I’m planning two trips to Italy this year and while I tend to make my own closer to the date of the trip (avoid pre-mature heartbreak if plans change) I think curated lists off the beaten path a

This irked me recently. I think it’s very reasonable for networkd to delegate everything after the interface meets an “online criteria” to later services. However I was disappointed that you couldn’t then tell networkd an interface was “act

Is there a way to walk it all back? It’s an issue that worries me to almost no end. Idealistically, I might say education could solve it, except that I see this huge lapse of empathy on the subject of surveillance that makes the education i

This, I have to imagine, would come down to soft power. To my knowledge, it’s /very/ rarely free to move wealth across borders. So if a country were to strongly incentivize investment a certain way all of a sudden, it would be ide

The fact that strict aliasing has to be broken to use the API shows that, amongst other things, the API is from a different era of practicality over correctness. In the past, people have popped up to say “but that’s only in the bind() imple
