> As long as plastics are disposed responsibly in ways that don't damage plants and animals, what's the issue?

But they are not disposed of responsibly. Fish sold for human consumption increasingly contain plastic microparticles, which bind toxins.

The oceans already contain a vast amount of macro plastic which is disintegrating into microparticles and will be basically impossibly to remove.

This is new, it's getting worse, and we don't know what effect it will have on human health.
incidentally, fwiw, i just _love_ the figure-2.1 which shows both time, and frequency domain signals in a single diagram.

turn the whole thing clock-wise, and you have the fourier signals, and counter-clock-wise to get to the time-domain signal.

just beautiful :)

I agree but I'd like to add a disambiguation. Factory farmed meat should be stopped, factory produced meat (i.e. with no live animals as inputs) would be pretty great.
There must be a bot or something that people use where if they choose to follow you it will then like EXACTLY two posts at random.

Yeah, good luck with that. I'm still not following back.
Could you further explain a bit the appeal? I have never used Instagram and I imagine it as scrolling through dozens of pictures of cool stuff people do... Is that it?

Do you have "feeds" with pictures that correspond to a specific interest of yours? (Is Instagram actually the best place to find interesting pictures on a range of topics?)

Do you post a lot yourself or is it virtually all "consumption"?

Would you say the identity of the posters plays a significant role (friends, celebrities... ?) or is it really more about the content?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, feel free to ignore any or all of them!

You are defending 'Mastering C Pointers' on the grounds that K&R was outdated?
The CertSimple article completely ignores CPU and memory usage. That is where Brotli can become completely unacceptable for dynamic compression – it uses vastly more CPU and RAM than gzip.

Brotli is fine if you can precompress static files on a prep server or desktop.

It's unprofessional and unscientific to evaluate compression codecs without measuring how much CPU and memory they use. Brotli is a disappointment, coming 20 years after gzip. In 20 years we should expect something better than Brotli, something that is better optimized for modern CPUs, vectorized by default, and with a much better dictionary.
Technically, that is a different type of competition. That is an event at least partially based on skill rather than a pure-chance lottery. In places like Canada, and I suspect Australia too, such rules draw lines between competitions for prizes and a lottery subject to gambling rules.

I'd bet that a suburban mall couldn't got a gambling license, but a paper airplane throwing competition is something else. It may seem silly but that small requirement does negate many of the evils associated with gambling. You aren't going to see someone dropping thousands on lotto tickets if they have to throw a paper airplane each time.
That's interesting. That fix seems unreasonable for me considering I already have difficulty reading on screens. But that's at least a point to look for later on in the release notes.
I'm trying to recall the Mancini Mattress (Bay Area) ad -- something like "If we can't beat the price, the mattress is free!" I'm thinking ... ohhh... I bet they always somehow manage to beat the price!
Ah, that explains why they won't allow you to post photos from their website.

I do some serious-amateur and (when I'm lucky) semi-pro quality photography using a "real camera". I was going to post some of them on Instagram, but discovered that I can't do it except maybe via the phone app. But there's no way I'm shuttling photos from my desktop to my phone so that I can upload them to Instagram.

Could not make sense of this statement. Isn't just the opposite true? Whatever happens, happens simultaneously because for us only the present exists.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

Yup; thats just my opinion.... it also happens to be factual history. Can't HN be less sterile and accept the facts of history and reality; we don't exist in a vacuum.
Is your product that bad that you have to spend millions on ads just to get people interested in it?

If I had to pay millions to shove my product in people’a faces because that’s the only way to get them to use it, I would reconsider whether my product should even exist.
> Summary: "I can't tell the difference between discriminatory hiring [rejecting based on identity] and targeted hiring [seeking people out based on identity]."

Educate me - does this mean that an ad that says "blacks and women need not apply" is discriminatory, but an ad featuring that says "applicants must be white, male, or both" would be "targeted hiring"?
The only "long form discussions" I frequently see on Facebook are bad political arguments. Most people don't really care what Uncle Billy has to say about millenials.

By his logic, we should plastic wrap every vegetable and fruit. That is nonsensical.

Humans don't dispose of things properly. That's a fact. Creating more plastic waste will create more plastic pollution.

It's far easier to not create the waste in the first place. And there are ways to reduce CO2 that don't involve creating exponentially more plastic waste.

Again, producers don't plastic wrap cucumbers to save CO2. The entire premise is ridiculous.

Charge producers for the waste their products create. That will incentivize less waste. Charge them for the CO2 they emit. That will incentivize a reduction in CO2. You can accomplish both with market signals.
think the new option is actually gfx.webrender.all set to true, at least in nightly.

Every single technology you can argue is about sloth
This is a fascinating topic because I consider myself both a "hacker" and a "designer"... as of lately I've been coining the term "creative engineer" to represent the two.

Anyways, here are my thoughts from my observations as a creative individual.

Good design is a by-product of an individual's relentless pursuit of solving one or many problems. Very rarely do you have more than one of these individuals on a design team because they are stubborn and idealistic. But they have to be.

They are leaders that excel at providing a collaborative environment for everyone on the team.

They listen to every good or bad idea without dismissing that person's energy or intent behind it. They respect the person above all else.

They inspire those around them into new directions and encourage people to let go of all their preconceptions.

They protect against all the conscious and subconscious biasses that influence our design decisions.

They embrace mistakes and experiment with the unknown.

They check their ego.

This individual realizes that their quest towards great design is filled with a lot of failures, hard work, and loneliness. But the reward of seeing good design first-hand is worth it.

They do it because they care and it's worth doing right, not because they are told to do it.

Anyone can be creative; it just requires looking at the world differently.

Pick up a rock, what do you see? Is it just a rock? What are all the ways that you could use that rock? Now place the rock in your pocket, and throughout the day ask yourself about that rock. If you do this just for a single day, you might just find something that could benefit from a rock.

Cheers.

There are grocery stores (like Sprouts in my area) that sell fresh food like produce that aren't packed in plastic. They're all loose items that you just pick up and put into your own bag (which hopefully is either plastic that you reuse, or just a cloth bag). Then there are some grocery stores that pack most of their produce like vegetables all in plastic. If no plastic works for one, I don't see how it's necessary for the other.
Pythonic switch statement
I disagree, but only because reply tweets are the same "class" of content as the initial image tweet itself. It makes it less a comment on the image and more a post directed towards the image's poster. I also think Twitter's UI is still somewhat hostile to viewing them because of how thumbnails aren't just shrunk but also trimmed. I can see where you're coming from though.

You're confusing waste that is properly disposed of with waste that is not. The problem is waste that is improperly disposed of and neither of those are solutions to that problem.

> An anecdote is a logically valid response to "This isn't happening".

Well, choosing to respond to a claim that wasn't asserted isn't a valid argument against the original assertion.

> and from there it is valid to discuss whether it might happen again.

This again is working at 'anecdote scale'. Unless you can show that the costs of these anecdotes are anywhere near the collective benefits, then it's worthless. Keep in mind, it's equally worthless to assert there actually are benefits in this system without support, but that's why I'm not asserting that. I'm just saying an isolated argument on one side or the other, especially when it just a fucking anecdote, is functionally meaningless.

I took a look at some of the transcribed code examples. Understand, I consider myself a novice at C, one who's just starting to get a clue about pointers. But reading the code examples, more than once I found myself going, "Wait...what?".

I briefly tried to learn C++ an C in the 90s. I'm somewhat glad I didn't find this book in the library. I think it would have made attempting to learn harder, or given me some bad and dangerous habits.

"Unconvincing philosophical speculation" sounds like, to use the legal term, "assumes facts not in evidence". But to me, claiming that consciousness does not require dualism also seems to require facts not in evidence, that is, it seems to be merely unconvincing philosophical speculation.
Very few companies can get away with not having paid advertising. Likely, some of your favorite tech (and non-tech) products do a lot of it.

A peripheral benefit of electrified buses would be regenerative braking.

I've lost count of the amount of times that grubby, dusty brake pads have led to screeching that makes me feel like my ears are about to bleed, when buses have come to a standstill beside me. I once even wrote to TFL about the problem, weird little man that I am. Never received a response.
Ha, that's a good one! Let other people read your email. LOL. Hypothetically, you would 'reduce friction' by not sending email to the service, instead just give it the keys to your IMAP server! And users wouldn't need to inform people who email them that their email is public, because once it's on their screen they could post a screenshot to the web anyways.

...oh wait, that's a real thing that you did. You just didn't put the http:// in your comment to avoid self-promotion.

After reading your examples (which are a really helpful way of showing what your service does, BTW - thanks for not burying that in a video or forcing me to sign up), I can see the appeal for your service. It's Instagram for email: In exactly the way I keep every photo my phone takes backed up and organized on Google Photos, but selectively post to Instagram, I could selectively send mail on a "social email" account and keep normal transactions private. Fascinating! I suppose I have a small portfolio of emails helping some people solve problems (running/cycling tips, local routes, etc and some tech support) that I have meant to post to a blog but just never got around to it. Making that blogging automatic would be neat!

Nice idea and implementation, I apologize for mocking it! I'll definitely keep the principle in mind.

I don't use Instagram so I don't have the app installed, but sometimes I land on some page on instagram.com. That site is awful, and considering how much resources they have I have to assume that every annoyance is there on purpose. Middle clicking an image to open it in a new tab doesn't work in Firefox, and comments are really frustrating. If the image isn't very tall the area for comments isn't tall either, so you have to scroll through a tiny box to read comments. I can't find a way to search tags on their website without searching for it on Google first.

Like you said, it's not an app to post photos. It's all about the feed of pictures, not the pictures themselves. It's visual communication, not art.
One important part of wesnoth strategy that mostly comes out in the longer campaigns is that lvl 3 units are often much less economical than lvl 2 or 1's. It is important to train and then save a number of higher level units so that if you do lose one later on you can replace them.

I think that playing Wesnoth without save-scumming requires a tremendous amount of patience. I lack it.

I've developed an unconscious habit of just scrolling faster past the ads. As my subconscious detects an add coming up next on the feed I just naturally twitch a little faster to skip past it.

I never developed this intentionally, it just sort of developed.

My point is, I suppose, that I've no idea how good the advertising is on my instagram account because I really don't see the ads.
, said the tadpole in the river.

I agree in general with your sentiment: this is what prevents me from thinking lucidly about time as yet another dimension. But to provide some examples that counteract that, I think about instances when time seems to have been standing still, going slower or even "time flying." Then I think about how I remember those times, which is a form of time travel. People on disassociates often have experiences in which they have travelled in time. It seems, like I alluded to in my metaphor, that we _can_ travel in time; we're just not very adept yet. We don't have much control over our time traveling.

Conversely, to argue that we have control over our physical transport isn't entirely accurate either. We have a certain amount of space that we can travel in, and we were once much less adept at doing so. Additionally, we only have a certain amount of time to travel physically before we are disintegrated, which further wears down the assertion that we are masters of our physical location.
