I am suitably impressed. I love to see constructive use of obscure vocabulary. HN constantly surprises me with the intelligence of some posters.

It reminds me, at times, of my university days. That may not seem like a compliment, but it is absolutely meant to be. See, I have a Ph.D., in Applied Mathemstics - from MIT.

HN sometimes reminds me of those university experiences. I find it comforting to not be the smartest person in the room. It makes me feel honored to be here.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Whether the persona they show is more or less like their true self depends on what you consider their "true self" to be. If you look at any sort of school of thought which embraced asceticism, you'll find people that, because we experience way more emotional changes over a day than we experience changes on our set of desired behaviors, came to think of emotions as unreal, annoying distractions. The major example of this kind of thinking being Stoicism, but really, it just of sort of permeated every other pre-modern society.

So yeah, I don't think it's a "puritan/evangelical" thing. It's more of a "anything but contemporary urban society" thing.
Is there really no middle ground? Sanitizers fail because they try to salvage the clean part, only blacklisting some possible inputs. But what if you turn it around? Only send to eval what fits through a matcher for a very small subset of the language. The matcher can even allow invalid inputs if you know that eval will safely reject them (think unbalanced brackets). That matcher will be much easier and safer to implement than a full parser/interpreter for the same subset.

Sociologically it's perhaps interesting. One might want to "follow the rules" in order to minimize friction with an intended audience. Also, I'm sure we've all encountered cases where punctuation changes how we interpret a sentence. Then there's the more artistic concern of stylistic consistency. These punctuation "rules" might be better seen as some sort of a protocol standard. I'm pretty sure there are, in fact, several competing standards. Following whatever standard is clearly a choice, but that choice does something for setting up reader expectations.
> nothing can beat the sense of security with privacy Apple carries with itself now.

That is exactly it. Apple is not good at privacy, they are good at giving you the sense of it. A closed source OS, on proprietary hardware, where they don't even give you root access to your own device, will never be private. You pay them, but really they own the phone and you have to trust them.

But they are obviously very good at making you /feel/ secure and private.
The waste problem in the other points of the production chain is indeed massive and solvable. The idea that fresh produce is sent to stores only to have a fraction being bought is a massive waste in both food and introduction of additional middle man. Online markets for food could fix this, but I have yet to see one that can compete on prices. It might happen once transport costs go down.

To go back to marine ecosystem, those that are on the brink of collapse is so mainly because of 3 causes. Pollution, invasive species, and over overfishing towards specific fish stocks. Both invasive species and overpopulation caused by eutrophication could actually use an increase in fishing in order to increase biodiversity, but a common element in both is that no one want to pay for it. To my knowledge it actually common problem in many fresh water lakes.

Except you don't drop the entire theme code into your project, just the pieces you want to overwrite. I have to believe here that the idea was to make themes extendable, not customizable (in the way previous Jekyll themes operated). This feels very similar to the concept of a child theme in WordPress, which simply extends the parent theme. Since we're just extending the parent theme and not editing those files, sure, put them in a gem and let me leave them out of my repository. Now you're only tracking the delta of your changes, not the whole theme. When done correctly, this should also let you more easily swap out the parent theme to something different while maintaining your changes with minimal effort.

Again, I haven't played with this yet, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense and I'm kind of looking forward to porting a few of the sites I manage.
>They deserve what they voted for.

That's always the case in democracy. But assuming that what they'll get will be negative (as the above insinuates) is akin to taking for granted what you should prove.

There may not be rules, but as in language as a whole, there are commonly shared and accepted conventions that can aid comprehensibility -- but only to the extent that they are commonly shared and accepted.

I've known some people who insist that punctuation is irrelevant, and they can understand written text perfectly well without it. And their reading speed does seem to be unaffected by the presence or absence of punctuation. But I generally find that while my reading speed is about the same as theirs for unpunctuated text, I read punctuated text faster than they do. Conventional punctuation helps those acquainted with the conventions to parse text.

As they are just conventions, they will inevitably change over time. For example, it seems to be increasingly common to link two main clauses with a comma. Outside certain rhetorical and poetical usages, I find this jarring. But I may already be in a minority, and at some point in the not too distant future, it may not merit comment at all, except in the rantings of rules-fixated, traditionalist grammarians and would-be grammarians.
All of the things you mentioned are best practices when building something that you want other people to use in production. The author was trying to build this with the absolute minimum amount of code as an exercise so I don't think any of your comments here apply.

Huh? You seem to be violently agreeing with me, while implying I'm saying something else.

I don't quite get what logic you think I used that doesn't agree fully with what you said above would be.
I would imagine Nuitka is slower, because it cannot apply dynamic optimisations which are the key technique for making a language like Python fast, but more predictable and regular as the dynamic optimisations that PyPy uses are vulnerable to performance cliffs.
The problem is that for some significant amount of users, they don't have the mental model to differentiate between running stuff in an Administrator prompt and playing about with their Word settings - one of them being dangerous and one of them not.

We'd have to go right back to OS design principles in the first place to teach people that computers are not terrifying behemoths that are about to fall over at any given second, and then maybe that would follow through into our apps - but as it stands, they come with the default expectation that anything they do might result in needing to call IT.

Funnily enough, ChromeOS gets that more-or-less right. There's barely anything you can do to a ChromeOS machine that makes it unusable, and nearly everything is ephemeral. Then you have the always-revertible settings in Google's web apps, and people love it.
You're right, my mind is made up - to a certain extent. If your parent comments would actually be written well and contain strong arguments, I could change my mind.

But instead, your parent comments reek of the same absence of essence as a lot of modern "high-brow" journalism - and that's exactly why I was so irritated. I'm sick and tired of longreads in NYT, New Yorker, Slate and other presumably good publications that focus on stories, narratives and individuals instead of facts and arguments. How many times have a opened a story about some kind of global phenomena that affects millions and instead of statistics and studies saw most text dedicated to few particular people affected by it! Just like your text - makes a good and emotional narrative, but doesn't have any logical arguments to support author's viewpoint.

The goal of communication is to accurately exchange information. Doing so accurately requires both parties adhering to rules they have previously agreed on. If you don't want to accurately exchange information, that is a choice you can make. However, it should come as no surprise when you find people ignoring your attempt to contribute.

I don't think it needs to be exact, but an effort to express things accurately should be made. If I say, "Fish garbanzo bean flunky jellybean!" It is quite reasonable for you to say, "No, that isn't the name of an ocean."

If I continue doing so, then I would expect to be excluded from the conversation.

Another issue with solar charging in colder climates is snow accumulation on the panel. Combined with less overall incident sunlight due to shorter days and cloud cover, charging issues with lithium batteries at temps below 0C, and the fact that most common air quality sensors of interest (PM) are comparatively power hungry, it makes fielding a "Lives Forever" device here in Michigan something of a challenge.

The traditional approach here is large panels with large lead-acid batteries but the size of the devices involved bring with them further challenges with siting and maintenance.

The Duden doesn't define correct spelling, it merely documents it. It's decidedly not a prescriptive work. What you're likely thinking of is the German orthography rules defined by the Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung and in turn strongly influenced by actual practice rather than just dogma -- the most recent revisions are very forgiving with regard to acceptable variations.

Linguists on the other hand have given up on prescriptivism decades ago. Scientific linguistics are entirely descriptivist, studying how language is used rather than prescribing how it ought to be used.
At risk of splitting hairs, Atari Inc and Atari Corp were different companies as well. The 2600 was released by Atari Inc and the Jaguar by Atari Corp.
That's not necessarily true for every site, though. A US site selling goods to EU consumers via US payment providers does not necessarily have any assets or income stream going through EU banks etc. that they could easily go after.

That said, that's usually only a problem with small companies. Very few large companies manage to avoid all financial exposure to the EU and still do business with EU residents, so it has relatively little practical impact.

Ask HN: Would you subscribe to my newsletter?
Hi guys, I previously launched a subject to find the best name for my Geeky newsletter. The purpose of the newsletter is to provide daily or weekly links about various subjects that would interest you (they obviously interest me).

I finally found the name : Dixit.

Dixit means "according to..." in French (I am French). I'd now need some testers in order to receive feedback about

- newsletter design
- website design (i didn't make a huge effort on this one)
- categories, etc...

the fact is that is a side project, I do it for fun, and, from time to time, no link may be shared on a specific day. The links are collected manually, I just add comments on them.

the registration URL is here : https://dixitnews.com/
and you can, from this page, access the archive of links I already collected.

Thanks for your feedback !

The quality of vehicles has increased dramatically over that time. There isn't a similar increase in the quality of grain.

A vehicle that I purchased roughly ten years ago has operated perfectly fine with half of its scheduled oil changes and very little other maintenance. From an engineering perspective I find that mind-blowing: you buy these machines and they operate flawlessly for years, running for thousands of miles, while performing a complex, mechanical task with many moving parts. It's easy to take for granted how marvelous modern automobiles have become.
That's pretty cool, ten years ago the only real "fun" in battles was dicking around on TeamSpeak.

That is an even dumber principle, and it is what leads to proliferation of products that are mostly useless toys that pretend to be tools. No amount of JS will make a person who never used 2D graphics programs a master of Photoshop. Only God Himself can make a pivot table that's usable by a newcomer without "having to read any documentation". The only way to realize the principle you described is to dumb down your product until bare minimum of functionality remains, and then hope your users somehow learned to use that minimum in the past.

Others have managed to touch on this topic in the thread, so I'll just say this: you don't expect people to be able to fully use a car without having to learn anything. You subject them to a training course. And this applies to pretty much any actual tool. You have to learn to use it effectively. "The only intuitive interface is the nipple, everything else is learned." You can embrace that and figure out how to efficiently teach your users, or you can forever be doomed to building toys that don't actually help anyone that much.

Men who previously sought to impress ladies by copying and pasting cute quotes and images on social media now had to go out, bring friends together in a bar, pay the bill and prove their real verbal and intellectual skills.

I wonder if that's meant as a humorous exaggeration or seriously, because it sounds simply made up.

http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/writing-style.html

> Hackers tend to use quotes as balanced delimiters like parentheses, much to the dismay of American editors. Thus, if “Jim is going” is a phrase, and so are “Bill runs” and “Spock groks”, then hackers generally prefer to write: “Jim is going”, “Bill runs”, and “Spock groks”. This is incorrect according to standard American usage (which would put the continuation commas and the final period inside the string quotes); however, it is counter-intuitive to hackers to mutilate literal strings with characters that don't belong in them. Given the sorts of examples that can come up in discussions of programming, American-style quoting can even be grossly misleading. When communicating command lines or small pieces of code, extra characters can be a real pain in the neck.
NDAs aren't standard at all. They range from simple back of the napkin agreements to "we get your first born child".

Blindly signing subjects you to potentially nasty term, and obligated you not to talk about certain things. This in turn can be used as leverage by the other side if things go badly.

Really, it's just don't blindly sign any agreement. Unfortunately agreements are so ponderous (clickwrap) that most people are used to doing that

You are so wrong about the American Red Cross. The ARC is an non-profit organization supported by a movement of volunteers from all walks of life. It gives resources to volunteers willing to help those in need. Thank god it exists.

I'm not going to convince you by arguing on HN but would gladly talk, or at least chat online, about it with you.

I took a month leave of absence from a programmer position at Merrill Lynch when Hurricane Katrina ravaged the U.S.. I signed up for a disaster response role in the American Red Cross, who dispatched me relatively quickly to a major shelter in Alexandria, Louisiana.

I can confidently tell you and anyone reading this that great good came of what was donated, at least to the population served within the jurisdiction I was stationed.
80% of them would admit it, 19% of them are liars/trolls, 1% have some kind of legitimate chemical or physical abnormality precluding them from any kind of sex life what so ever. "Dirty old man" this, "Shameless objectify smut" that, really? Playboy?

Is there any way to present the female naked body that would meet these people's standards, or can we all just be honest here that these Hefner/Playboy bashers would say the same thing about even the most non-objectifying image of the naked female body? These people are either consciously or (more likely) subconsciously jealous, envious, insecure, jilted, or 2pc4me trying to impress and/or appease a woman in their life.

The simple objective fact of the matter (aka human F'ing nature) is that any straight cis male would live like Hefner if they could. Period. We wouldn't have survived or evolved to where we are today if this wasn't just the simple hardwiring of our instinct to survive and diversify.

Is it no wonder why so many rich people and celebrities have multiple husbands/wives, and tons of cheating scandals? Does this not help you realize this is the default way of life and anyone not participating is fighting it?

Go ahead and make up all the excuses you want as to how "you're better than a damn ape having dirty promiscuous animalistic unrestrained sex whenever and with whomever you'd like" and realize its not even a choice.... of course you wouldn't WANT to be like this, society shames it for someone like you or me... thats not the point. You would do it if you could get away with it and be in the right line of work/status where you could. That was Hef..

Thanks! You are correct, the li-poly I've looked at specify basically the same operating temperatures,

discharge: -20 to +60 deg C
charge: 0 to +40 deg C

Exactly, the energy density is much less with lead acid, and they also have poor low-temperature discharge performance. I wonder at what level a very insulated and slightly heated (if temp < 0) li-poly would be better? I see there is still room for improvement in the system model we've used in the article :)

Stay tuned for the sequel! We plan on doing one on indoor-solar powered devices too :)
This means you can't actually persist the bad time to your RTC.

I wonder where that limit comes from, since the RTC in a standard PC stores both the year(00-99) and century(also 00-99) in BCD, so a date in 2153 should be representable.

This reminds me, one interesting thing I've noticed over the years is that early PC's RTCs were pretty accurate, but the most recent ones, as in the past few years, are horrible (as much as +/- several seconds per day), and the ones in smartphones even worse. Maybe because they're assuming NTP, so have cut costs by using less accurate crystals? I've had systems in storage for many years, and the RTC was within a few seconds of the current time when turned on again.
Do you have any pointers to where I can find info on that? It's clear that the GDPR itself establishes jurisdiction for EU courts over GDPR worldwide - it's very explicit about that.

But I can't find anything about how they'd make it enforceable in other jurisdictions (as opposed to enforcing the judgements by e.g. fining EU subsidiaries and the like).

Article 50 does say the Commission should take "appropriate steps" to ensure international "cooperation mechanisms", and its clear under e.g article 44 onwards that carrying out a transfer to a jurisdiction where the data would be subject to inadequate controls would be a violation of the directive, so you may very well be right.
