I built a testing framework, and I wanted it to generate HTML reports during testing with not post-processing report compilation step. I wanted the html in real-time so if a test was cut short for any reason from killing the job to power failure, you'd have a readable html report showing where things stopped. I could do this by just appending divs as rows without closing any of the parent divs, body or html tags. So the more general answer, anytime you want to continuously stream html and not want to wait until the end of the document to begin rendering.

It's pretty obvious that it narrows the statement of "old enough" to be a fine-grained distinctions fitting, in this case, to a short timespan, possibly a few years, that some readers may consider to be old and others not old at all.

Is there some other meaning you had in mind when asking this, or was this a pedantic question?

Not OP but I think it is good to balance a healthy respect for disregarding cultural norms with a perceived understanding of your outsider perspective and the given cost. I'm a big fan of Stallman and have worked people of similar dispositions. while they provide very clear insight and intermittent productivity spurts, it comes at a huge social cost that in some cases can make or break a team. In the long-term they could be right, but in the short-term it becomes an all-or-nothing crusade. I've been there myself and I've reassembled the pieces of a team after others did the same. Anti-authoritarianism is noble and justified, but it is no rational excuse for poor hygiene if you want to connect with other people and have a non-imaginary impact on the world.

It's worth adding the director of the FBI posted publicly showing a clear politically motivated bias in an ongoing case. So outside the immediate facts of the case there are questions around presumption of innocence, due process, and a fair trial, as well as prosecutorial misconduct.

Not to defend doge at be all, but the article specifically mentioned installing a bunch of proxy and scraping tools. Is this likely to be an actual Russian state attack or just extremely poor opsec / an attempt to evade internal controls, still likely very illegal. I'm all for holding all involved accountable to the fullest extent, but this is too sloppy for Russian state involvement to make me think they're on any intelligence payroll anywhere.

Anything that acts to lower the odds by 200x so that we're the only likely intelligence in the galaxy is the definition of a "great filter".

What about the side that complains about A and complains about B, and complains that constant polarizing rhetoric has been ratcheting up to get us from the less bad A to the very bad B?

You're still trivializing. The cancel culture would often follow the people it wanted to cancel to make it hard for them to get another job again.

Also, I'll add that the "there is the door" comment is entirely wrong. There are countless stories of open source maintainers being harassed to make language changes to their code base, master/slave, whitelist/blacklist. The harassers never offered to do the work themselves just demanded it be done for them or they'll keep harassing. These were people matching into someone else's "safe space" to police their private language.

The government disappearing people and dismantling the country is very bad, and nothing good can be said about it. What I'm talking about are the individuals on both sides not formally in power, and their equal efforts to stifle what they see as "bad speech". It's that mentality, on both sides, that led us to where we are.

Does this let you export rendered diagrams at html or pdf? The Markdown Preview Enhanced plug-in is the only plugin I found to do this easily lady time I was looking .

Claims were overhyped by the media, but were the actual deepseek claims false though? Huggingface and universities have replicated the deepseek chain of thought training on top of llama for very cheap, and the openai pricing for o3-mini shows how cheap that model is vs the original o1.

Not to say that I buy this EV hype, which is suspiciously timed with teslas weakening position.

I think lambdas or function pointers can be possible if they assume all of the scope of where they are called rather than where they are declared, that would prevent them from allowing recursion through forward declarations.

It would be awkward to work with since you'd have to be aware of all of the eventual caller scopes rather than your current local scope when defining it.

I suppose it would be like macros instead of true functions.

I lump those together into what I call Dependency-Driven Development. Manage and reduce dependencies first, both external dependencies and internal dependencies within code, and better code will follow.

It's not always 100%, but in general the fewer the dependencies the better the code.

I’ve done a project connecting hall effect sensors to vibration motors. You could put a tiny vibration motor in each key cap and set different vibration intensity and timing patterns based on the hall effect readings. You could have the intensity slowly rise as you approach an activation point, then suddenly drop off right before and at activation to mimic the resistance of a physical switch.

Something along these lines is my guess. Focus on the batteries. You can replace individual cells with explosives and cause the remaining cells to overheat to start the explosion.

Most battery packs have integrated power management chips, so you could focus on modifying the battery firmware.

You could have another component send a message to the power management controller to trigger it.

You could also use the power controller's internal current sensor and clock to watch for a device event (power draw from the screen at a certain time or the power profile for a specific set of CPU instructions), giving you means to trigger it without modifying any other part of the device.

I'll add the the flagging UX on HN is very broken, and I've seen it brought up before only to get a "won't fix". I have two pages of links I've "flagged" while having never intentionally clicked the flag link myself.

That said, your topic doesn't sound like most people would consider on topic for HN. It shouldn't be flagged, but I'd expect it to be buried.

You steal it for yourself, then let slip you did at a party. Then destroy it to cover your tracks when you realize you fucked up.
