Design is super clean--looks great!

Late to the party but this is my configuration that I use for my home servers:

I was a complete Nix beginner three months ago and thought Nix was terribly complicated and unnecessary. Glad to say I was wholly wrong and the transition was not that bad.

NixOS me provision my servers from scratch to functional file/media/home automation server in about 15 minutes using an entirely automated Nix installation process. It’s a beautiful OS for servers

Absolutely, people fixate on Korea and Vietnam while ignoring that the US has won many ”fast” wars since 1945. Operation Desert Storm is a perfect modern example.

The US doesn’t lose wars, it loses interest

This is actually a pretty good article for a non-technical audience.

I’m surprised The Economist mentioned XKCD! Whoever wrote this must’ve been a developer at one point or had some good sources.

It isn't as polished as whatever first-party solution Apple has the potential to develop, but I just use OneDrive to restore my personal data + chezmoi to reprovision my dotfiles and it works pretty well.

About every six months I do a fire drill and completely factory reset my macbook. Takes about 10 minutes for me to go from a fresh device to one that has all my apps, data, and developer tools ready to roll. Only annoying thing you can't really automate is signing into services like OneDrive or Dropbox, but this isn't a problem if you use iCloud Drive.

> Even linux tools like shred have given up saying they can actually delete data from disks due to how SSD's work these days.

Which emphasizes the importance of enabling full disk encryption immediately whenever you start using a new device--BitLocker if you're on Windows, FileVault on macOS, LUKS on Linux, etc. Trying to decrypt data is much harder than reconstructing deleted data on a stolen drive.

> Notably, the report identified lighting, brakes, and axles as prominent sources of faults in the Tesla Model 3.

I would have thought the battery or the powertrain or some EV-specific component would be the source of the problems. Does anybody know why these more seemingly standardized parts are failing at higher rates?

I'm surprised he was able to make such statements for this long.

I genuinely wonder why his captors even continue to let him live, when it seems like any post-2022 civil protest in Russia can and will be brutally repressed.

It's really awesome to see this recent counter-revolution of developer tools emphasizing simplicity. Nue gives me the same optimistic, feel-good vibe that htmx and Alpine.js gave me when I first read about them.

Best of luck, wishing the author all the best!

This is especially true in UX design.

When I see a website...

- using a ridiculously thin or small font,

- relying on a high-end monitor to provide sufficient color contrast

- loading an unreasonable amount of resources only to provide laggy animations

...I'm wondering if the responsible designer(s) only have 32-in Retina displays and the latest Macbooks to work with. Because on any other combination of devices, the website looks and feels awful.

And I know this because I was formerly guilty of it!

Congratulations on your literal launch! Some questions:

- Does the blimp need to be in the vicinity of a base station or human operator to function?

- How fast does the blimp move?

- Any consideration of using this technology to inspect wind/solar farms?

Yes! The other commenter found the original image (https://rakhim.org/honestly-undefined/19/), and you nailed the description

This is it! Thank you very much :)

Big tech isn’t far away from this. Scary to think what kind of applications can be derived from this technology. Imagine a hi-tech polygraph that maps your brain activity to speech—-do you have plausible deniability if something incriminating blurts out?

The headline is true but suggests a far more sinister implication than what is actually going on.

A few things that need to be taken in context here.

- The materials in question were sent to China, Taiwan, Canada and Ireland.

- As others have mentioned, Honeywell sent commercially-available schematics to the above countries, not classified information. The article mentions that Honeywell sent parts relating to the engine, this could literally just be a valve or bearing component. I doubt this kind of information is usable unless you have a ton of additional documentation describing their function and utility as a sub-assembly.

- Honeywell reported this themselves. A bunch of articles on this topic use the phrase 'Honeywell admits...' as if this was some kind of smoking gun.

The knee-jerk reaction claiming that Honeywell has committed treason or something like it is unreasonable. Methinks incompetence from the sales department is to blame here rather than malice.

People adhere to their browsers pretty well. I wouldn't change my browser at home just because I use it at work unless I wanted to synchronize my Mozilla/Google account across both computers (and this is often prohibited on enterprise licensed FF/Chrome).

Moreover, many companies make use of GSuite to handle email or collaboration tasks. If you already pay for such features, then it makes sense to follow through the platform and stick with Chrome.

To end, I will say that I use Firefox daily at home and work.

Cheers, this is such a neat website.
