With the huge deforestation of the past years and now the further destruction of the forest around the river, the future of the Amazon forest is black: it will be destroyed and after that there is no more rainfall and the dams will not generate energy.
As someone who is trying to learn modern web development, things like this make me feel overwhelmed. So many tools to learn and integrate! Why these tools over other ones? So many tools to choose from on every level of the stack!

What the hell is the "right way" to build a web app nowadays? That's what I want to learn. I've figured out how to put up a static page pretty well, but this is so different. Is this site what is best practice now? Or is it one of many choices?
This also means that iMac and Macbooks depreciate quite heavily in price after the warranty expires.

I'm thinking of selling my Macbook Pro while I can get a decent price for it as I've now had it around 3 years. I'm better of investing that money in new parts for my PC.
No, but I'm sure someone who writes for nymag.com has it all figured out

the biggest problem is the reliance on linear models and their interpretations.

its easy to have something statistically significant but yet produce a shitty prediction. they then take this horrible model and use its coefficients to make ridiculous claims, like doing X makes you Y times more likely to Z.

thats great for a business wanting to find ways to make money, but when this crap gets in the government level these crappy models are used to legislate us.
I used to be a bad sleeper , like sleeping only for 3-4 hrs work week. it badly affected my digestion, I got fat, I was weak, I ate junk and I drank more coffee and I was always dizzy and confused. The day I decided I need to sleep more and started to sleep for 6-7hrs every day and doing this consistently have improved my focus , less coffee and no frustration and I am active and lost few pounds. This is my personal opinion. things improve if you sleep more. 6-8 hrs is good.
> "With so much of the electric grid literally wiped out, wouldn't it be cool to see them rebuild in a more future-looking fashion with many of the ideas around solar & community batteries, rather than a traditional grid?"

I'd like to see a combination of both, a robust public T&D system with local distributed generation would be a great starting design in my opinion.
Last I checked (a couple of months ago), DT had a WAY better workflow, and it's better integrated (as mentioned in another comment here).

Also as I've seen mentioned in other comments, it lacks local adjustment tools and/or anything remotely equivalent to the masks system in DT.

It does have some interesting tools, but comparing DT to RT feels like comparing Ps to GIMP... there's a fundamental capability in the workflow that you'll feel missing if coming from DT to RT.
Is this because it's a quickly made demo vs a refined production-ready site, or is it a direct result of the way the sites are made? Can you use GraphQL, React, Express, etc. and make a very fast website?
I highly recommend you try meditation, not just because it reduces the total amount of sleep you need ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2919439/ ), but also because it sounds likes it'll teach you how to drift asleep more easily.

Yoga is also another great option, but just know that both of these will require a small amount of dedication.
I think Op's point is that the cryptocurrency "supported" by the central banks might be as trackable as bitcoin. Sure Zcash has, at least for now, a way to ensure anonymity but this ensures it might not be in running contention for the "central bank supported cryptocurrency".
In theory, why not ruby? (ruby-lang.org)

But in practice, from seeing what gets my son excited:

1. Windows Script Host

2. Html

3. If you are ready to do some drag-and-drop: Unity3d.com - it is free for trial and there are online tutorials on youtube etc, and you create a game, which is exciting.
> So, how am I going to store the Big Data for machine learning on my office computer, while also having a nice screen?

This would be the choice, but I'd hesitate to buy one with the new Mac Pro coming. I hate the idea of attaching a screen to the computer unless absolutely necesary, especially a nice screen.
Can you give an actual production example?

Inside of a vehicle, not yet; production example, yes.

Back in the day, there was a kernel bug which prevented Solaris 10 installer from booting on systems with a Pentium III processor. The workaround was to boot the kernel with -k, let it crash and drop into kdb, then patch a certain kernel structure and drop out of the debugger, continuing execution. The same mechanism would work in a car or a Boeing 787, which I understand were actually running Solaris as the control & navigation system.
Yeah pretty much this; on average I sleep 7 hours, but I can go in to "overdrive" mode and sleep less hours while not losing focus/drive to produce, this only lasts 2 days though, after that I really need to "recalibrate"
I think that HN used to have opaque moderation - people would find themselves shadow-banned and not know why.

Lobste.rs makes different choices around moderation (including user moderation) and is a lot more transparent than HN.

Lobste.rs is a good community, and I'm glad it's sill going to be around.

Things have changed a bit on HN though. If a mod chooses to ban someone they almost always leave a message. (I think, I'm not a mod.)

I will be blunt, all I have seen since day one is a photoshop exercise with a pretty web page in an attempt to save face after some influential sites starting bashing Apple for letting the previous model languish for three years.

Has there ever been a test system that was allowed to be used by a third party? Considering how far they pushed off "release" it all smacked of "cya".

with regards to the design, AIO. There are still many rumors of a new iMac chassis for the next iteration so why would the Mac Pro not debut the new chassis but instead soldier on with the old chassis?

I’d say most early miners were techies already making a fair amount of income compared to the average joe in the economy and mining was another fun hobby to throw a couple hundred bucks at or some old gpus at. I wouldn’t say it’s a big risk... maybe the same risk level of a junior programmer using some of his salary to buy a new Drone off eBay for some tech styled fun after work
You can, but it's a lot harder than building a very fast website that just uses Express to render Pug templates and that caches HTML in a CDN.
At 46 I used to be well and good with just 4h sleep.

Four months ago I started a new job at a nearby university campus and there are secure bike lanes the whole 7 miles from my home to the office. In the middle of the traject there is a park with outdoor fitness equipment where I make a stop and do some pull-ups and push-ups.

Since I started biking to the work I have a lower level of energy unless I rest for at least 7-8 hours. I don't know if is the age kicking in or if it is the less sedentary lifestyle.

The change in the sleep pattern combined with my 4yo autistic kid demanding my full attention at home (he was diagnosed early and is doing very well) diminished my availability for side projects.
Yeah. Melatonin works unreasonably well for me too, and it's as "natural" and side-effect-free as a drug can be. Definitely worth trying.
"her experience", not "his experience", if you're referring to the author.
Lol.. UCLA pays grad students 18k ish. Barely enough to survive. Yes not finishing is a real risk but it’s not true that students can generally survive on that without loans or savings. In other lower cost areas, they can. MIT, Columbia and other schools also have better financial packages / housing options.

I think the author may be making an incorrect assumption, that the recently published black-hole/black-hole merger was the "knock your sox off" detection leaked in August.

LIGO scientists have a pretty clear understanding of what a BH-BH merger sounds like in comparison to a neutron star merger. With a clear signal they would be unlikely to confuse one for the other. And the published BH-BH signature is very clear.

The sky location for the published BH-BH merger is in the constellation Eridanus. The rumored NS-NS merger was in galaxy NGC4993 in the constellation Hydra.

The published BS-BS merger was detected on August 14. The rumor leaks started August 18, hypothesizing a relationship to gamma ray burst GRB 170817A detected on August 17.

I hold out hope the NS-NS rumor is true, that paper is just taking a bit longer to prepare.
I know a person who grew to love stouts and porters, but then for medical reasons had to give up all caffeine. It's awfully hard to figure out which of those beers contain caffeine from coffee, and which just have coffee-like flavors. This person has mostly sworn off such beers in order to avoid the risk of drinking one with caffeine.

As a teacher, I appreciate projects like this. The folks in my classes are "amateurs" learning to code. I can, and do, teach them quick ways to build websites, but that won't help them get jobs in the industry. Many people can build sites with those tools. Companies that hire developers are looking for more advanced skills, and examples like this help (hard working) students learn how to use them. It takes my students at least two quarters to get productive with a tool like React, but once they know it, they have a valuable skill and have hopefully learned some important lessons about the proper way to create a robust architecture.
I understand the Nobel committee's desire to see results validated many times over before making an award, in order to avoid embarrassment should the findings be overturned as has happened in the past. I also acknowledge that the research cited here is very significant and important...but...the research being awarded is over 30 years old! To say there's not been any more noteworthy and validated discoveries in Medicine since the mid '80s, well, I just don't buy it.

Just for starters, the fact that Venter still does not have a Nobel is a crime and, in my mind at least, an irrefutable indictment that, in Academia, politics and "playing by the rules" is valued far more than actual results.
Right, this chart would support that.

Stuff like red wine sauces, whiskey glazed veggies, rum cakes, flambeed mushrooms, etc. that aren't cooked as long contain a very significant amount of alcohol.
Given your very clear and strong stance that this is something you won't ever try, of which I don't have any issue with, I won't spend a lot of time debating this statement.
But, your analogy with getting a lobotomy to enjoy life being even remotely equivalent to doing psychedelics is simply wrong. The effects are not similar. You are also drastically overestimating the gambling nature of psychedelics.
You're probably way more likely to wreck your life while drinking alcohol than you are with psychedelics.

Reasonable points. As for (1), I couldn't find how to get PCRE to work with a stream like that. But that's either my fault or PCRE, not the text editor data structure.

As for 2, I'd just say that I think these are much harder than the problem that the linked article discusses. There have been other articles on the same topic on Hacker News recently. They all seem to focus on solving the trivial problem and ignoring the difficult ones. I mean, a std::list<std::string> is fine for the main data structure if you just want to load, edit and save and don't require (2) or (3).
I'd say do 20 minimum but your point is taken
No need for a fancy filesystem; when one process asks for MAP_PRIVATE (aka Copy-On-Write = COW) on a file-backed page, all other references to that page can be marked COW as well, and if anybody does a write to the page, a new copy of the page gets created by the OS, and the various processes' references get sorted out to point to one copy or the other. The OS already needs almost this much implemented to allow multiple explicit COW references to the same page, which is surely allowed in Linux and Posix.
I sleep for 7 hours, my partner sleeps for ~ 8.5.

Things I've noted:

- My sleep "schedule" doesn't have enough hours in the day. Monday I'm asleep at 10, Tuesday 11, Wednesday 12... etc

- Lying in bed when not tired destroys any chance of a good nights sleep.

- Lack of sleep = angry/bad mood. Bad mood = flustered/annoyed at things (noise/distraction/annoying problem) = No productivity.
It sure is. There are plenty of people who want an iPhone but can't afford and/or simply don't need/want the latest, greatest version (being able to run 11.0.1 isn't really a big concern for most of them). A good friend of mine just upgraded to an iPhone 4 a few months ago.

Pretty much all Apple products have excellent resale value (around here, anyways).
How has it affected your quality of sleep? Do the same hours as before make you feel equally rested?

Quote of the year:

> But if Facebook is bigger, newer, and weirder than a mere company, surely his trip is bigger, newer, and weirder than a mere presidential run. Maybe he’s doing research and development, reverse-­engineering social bonds to understand how Facebook might better facilitate them. Maybe Facebook is a church and Zuckerberg is offering his benedictions. Maybe Facebook is a state within a state and Zuckerberg is inspecting its boundaries. Maybe Facebook is an emerging political community and Zuckerberg is cultivating his constituents. Maybe Facebook is a surveillance state and Zuckerberg a dictator undertaking a propaganda tour. Maybe Facebook is a dual power — a network overlaid across the U.S., parallel to and in competition with the government to fulfill civic functions — and Zuckerberg is securing his command. Maybe Facebook is border control between the analog and the digital and Zuckerberg is inspecting one side for holes. Maybe Facebook is a fleet of alien spaceships that have colonized the globe and Zuckerberg is the viceroy trying to win over his new subjects.

My belief is that it's long-lived branches that are the problem, since trying to keep diverging code-bases in synch is a huge source of pain. Switching to branchless development is probably an overreaction, though.

Why do they make such an effort to advertise memory that is useless to the end-user?
Quite good question. I used to sleep 8~9 hours, less (and more as someone already pointed) meant i was not very productive, made more mistakes, and i was irritated whole next day.

But for more then a year I'm a father, so now much changed. Now I sleep 5-7 hours, often with breaks during night. For example, tonight we had some problem and o lot of crying due to daughter's ear infection. I sleep 5,5hrs with 2 breaks.

How do I feel now? Unexpectedly well. I need little longer sturt-up in the morning - plus good coffee. I know that my productivity, creativity, and susceptibility to errors are little down, but I can tell that my body switched to new scheme and it's not such a bad think as i thought.

Also, all my troubles with falling asleep, etc, all are gone now. I know that you can handle much more then you think :)
Well, I go to bed between 01:00 and 02:00, my alarm clock first goes off at 06:00 to get my daughter out of bed and up and running to go to school (and sometimes bring her to the station in case the weather is horrid), 06:30 to wake my wife, 07:30 to wake my other daughter to bring her to school. I guess I get around 4 to 4½ hours of sleep a night. I never slept much, not as a child either. I used to listen to the radio while reading, the programming generally turned boring around 24:00 with something for truckers, something for 'cultured people' and something which I never understood who it was for. I still remember the signature tunes for those programs and the haste with which I used to turn off the radio when they came on...

[edit: I just looked up one of those programs, the trucker show ('Krieken med Adje' [1]). Turns out it was scheduled between 04:00 and 07:00, this was when I used to get up at 07:00 to go to school. No, I did not sleep much as a child either... ]

I had the same problem. In fact, for a couple of semesters in college I followed the 28 hour day schedule:

https://xkcd.com/320/

These days my biggest problem is waking up too early, not too late.

What worked for me:

1. eliminating caffeine from my diet, saving it for medicinal purposes. Ibuprofen + caffeine is an order of magnitude more effective for me than ibuprofen by itself; but that's because I'm no longer caffeine tolerant. (See #4)

2. No screens after 8PM.

3. Better reasons for going to bed and waking up early. AKA a wife to share the bed and kids to get to school.

4. Getting older. Biologically, 7 year olds & 50 year olds share a propensity for waking up early, with teenagers the highest propensity for sleeping in. You don't have to wait until you're 50, it gets better in your thirties, in my experience.

Very cool indeed! I'm lately reading a lot about temporal system design and got fascinated with clocks and our notion of time. Interesting how, if I understand it correctly from this article, our own "clock speed" is the rate of degradation of the PEP protein. Also interesting that people who spent a long time in isolation (eg. in cave experiments) had their internal clock drift considerably from our normal 24 hour cycle, which suggests that the environment does affect it.
