I've never heard of Frances intermediate achievements in University. That's great! I think one of the best things that can happen is someone not finding usefulness and meaning in their studies, deciding to work for a few years and then see how learning more would help and go back to University with a internal motivation that's truly driven by curiosity and a desire to get better. Most systems seem to discourage that. In the US most of the additional salary from studying at University comes from actually getting the degree. It's clearly all about signaling and not learning. This seems like a great step in a better direction.
You're using a prevalent concept - near total state control over persons in the former Soviet Union - and contrasting it with examples that were rare. That's why your retort is invalid. It's fundamentally why people aren't shocked at what the USSR did to people during its existence, and are shocked when they find out about some of the US military's experiments, such as the army's test of airborne dispersion of germs in St. Louis and other cities:

First off, I think this is a bad business decision.

>Even if the only vegetarian option is fries, which is not uncommon.

Is not true in my experience.

I'm a vegetarian and I only very rarely have problems finding something to eat at restaurants, and not fries, I don't even like fries. Though sometimes I have to ask for substitutions.

I admit, if you are not actually open to eating non-meat products you'd have issues.
And it is surprising how many readers completely miss the solution :-).
Hi Byuu! You're a cool guy and I hope I can be like you one day!
Great point. Keto means running off of ketones. It does not mean eating meat. It also has little to do with how much fat you eat (Although many keto people, including myself, believe in eating fat to satiety)

When you're ketogenic your body is burning fat for fuel. There's a switchover period from being a sugar-burner to being a fat-burner (Even though we do it naturally every night when we sleep) This can be uncomfortable for some.
When I talk about environment and legacy, I talk about your parents, your grand-parents and your grand-grand-parents.

If you are born Germans and your parents are Germans since generations, there are higher chances they teached you how the system works since the first day. It's probable they accumulated a social network of friendly lawyers, politicians, or any other persons the system already rewarded, and told you what to do to make sure you keep your privileges and protect the system.

Trusting the system when you are a foreigner is way more difficult, especially when you know no one.

You can't compare the lifestyle of someone who lives with $10k/month with someone who is clueless and, because of lack of information and ressources, cannot defend his/her own human rights.

We are not born equal, if your parents are richer than mines, you are probably privileged before we even proved our skills.
Recycled anecdote from the last time this was discussed on HN:

While a student, I looked after the apartment of a friend of mine, who was overseas.

When he moved there, we were _just_ able to eke his sofa around the last corner from the stairwell and through the door to his apartment. Just. After much cursing and several failed attempts.

So, what does a good (cough) friend do while the owner is overseas?

Get some hardwood mouldings/trimmings/whatever you call those long, thin pieces of wood typically put where wall transitions to ceiling or floor and nail them to the exterior doorframes, making both door openings perhaps 3/8" or so narrower, paint them in the color of the doorframe, sit back and wait.

Then, years later, as he is about to leave town, moving company comes along and everything runs smoothly until one item remains. The sofa. Obviously, it got in - so it'll (as obviously) come out.
Only it doesn't.

We (everybody except the owner and the moving guys were in on the joke) managed to keep a straight face for several minutes.

The moving guys even laughed as they (eventually) left, mollified by a bottle filled with a Scottish export product which we'd kept on hand to ensure no feelings were hurt afterwards.

If you squint a bit, macros and built-ins are similar in structure to functions (they're all s expressions).

I agree with much of what you said, but I still maintain that lisp syntax is still relatively trivial compared to most languages.

I also don't think exposing newcomers to macros on a language that is homoiconic is terribly useful until they're already comfortable with the basic s-expression syntax.

Very neat! The author should probably make the large diagrams clickable to full resolution, as many of them are not possible to read.
I have this set up in my house. I have a tld and internally I want the IP to resolve to the land IP and externally, to the ISP ip. I also have local caching for things like imap, but slow uploaded so I don't host my full email and web mail stack there.

I run 2 dns servers usually on the same box on different bind addresses. You'd run a caching resolver on the gw ip and forward requests for my.tld to the second resolver which is configured to be authoritative for my.tld. the hosts can then be configured either through DHCP or statically.

This is a pretty common technique to make enterprises Intranets.

Added benefit is that when you did a file transfer between Lan hosts with the globally accessable DNS, the transfer stays on the LAN. Also ssh host works in you ssh config regardless of location.
it'd be cool if there was an HA mode for this so you can have two devices - and it rotates the active device while the secondary is updating... and then it'd be easy to have power redundancy etc.. .

Don't feel too sorry for the devs over this. The game would still have been far from "great" without this typo - it just probably wouldn't have been received as one of the absolute worst games ever published.

A:CM was littered with flaws, of which the absolutely nonfunctional alien AI was just the most glaring. The fact that this simple but glaring bug was allowed to slip through the cracks and was shipped anyway should tell you something about the level of quality control that was exercised during development.

> When they're used to indicate a separate larger than a comma but less than separate sentences, an em-dash works just a well without any of the pretense

It is a kind of snobbery to impute pretense to the use of semicolons over dashes; it may simply be that writer’s natural preference or habit to prefer semicolons.

Where does this worrying about coming across as pretentious end?

The underlying reason is racism. White people dislike the idea of a social system that benefits everybody, because that would include the blacks. This is even true of desperately poor white people, who are very numerous, but would rather deny a social program to black people even if that means they also cannot benefit from it.

Many of the countries we think of as quite successful and wealthy and educated and having many social programs are also shockingly homogeneous, so it’s hard to know if, say, Finland would be exactly as nice if they had more different races there. But we can say for certain that racism is holding America back.
And we all remember those from the 1980s. Those things were so bad that we switched to windows in the first place.
I’ve been taught to use the em dash to set off a point of emphasis, disagreement, or a caveat. So I parse your first example as: My wife would like tea; I would prefer coffee.
Having studied in both US and Germany, US universities seem to have a much lighter focus on studying itself. The negative view would be that the are a lot more distractions like fraternities, sorts teams etc. Another view would be that there is a strong focus on network building. Fraternities and the whole school loyalty thing are practically made for this. It's a clear advantage to have those connections for the individual. I do wonder what this does to society as a whole. Maybe it makes matching people to jobs easier, maybe it makes it easier to find people to even start a company with. I could easily see how this caused silicon valley to be adding UC Berkeley and Stanford rather than TU Munich or the Sorbonne. Maybe it's mostly a zero sun game that's very expensive?

"Henge" meaning "big round structure of unknown function with ditch on the inside of a bank."

Several sites are presented, in close proximity. At least one appears to be mostly earthwork, and could be a classic "henge". In the most interesting one, I see no evidence of ditch or bank, just postholes and trenches in concentric circles. This one may be a large circular building. Of course, crop marks provide fairly limited information.

I wouldn't say none. The massive increase in GPU prices did spur some to buy prebuilt where otherwise, they would have built a custom machine. Many large companies that sell higher end machines didn't jack up their prices nearly as much as the graphics cards alone.

Also, some miners were buying prebuilt systems to harvest the GPU, then out a cheaper GPU in it and sell it.
I can see how that might be appealing in an enterprise setup, but I have no desire to build that complexity into router7 :). In case my apu breaks, I have another one and can just restore today’s backup onto that within 1 minute.

SQL is also not very composeable. Queries and their constituent parts are not first class concepts in SQL. There is no way to, for instance, pass a query to a piece of code and have that code add part of a WHERE clause to that query. That results in a lot code dynamically generating SQL queries.
Norway has 9-10x the oil output per capita of the US and over 5x that of Russia. Norway is a well run petro state. For the US to match Norway on that, it'd have to produce more than the equivalent of all the annual oil output on earth.

Total oil production per day per capita in 2017.

Norway: 1.9m bbl/day, 0.365 barrels per day per capita.

US: 13m bbl/day, 0.04 barrels per day per capita.

Russia: 11.2m bbl/day, 0.07 barrels per day per capita.
There are other bytecode formats even simpler, UCSD Pascal P-Code for example.

Truly self driving car is incredibly hard. He’s right: waymo, cruise, Uber, Tesla are over-selling it. People have died in Teslas because drivers were over confident in their technology. Uber has run over people because their software couldn’t see humans in dark.

A reliable and smarter cruise control can save so many lives. I think we’re trying to jump the gun sometimes.

The number of highway deaths is insane. If software just augmented humans better and saved those people/animals we’re coming out ahead as a civilization.

Strength training can help lift depression
When I worked in the health system, specifically around pain relief, there was a comparison of different approaches. Among them was "distraction therapy." That phrase has stuck with me, and I think it applies to many therapies people are mentioning here. It's basically a variation of "hit your head so you don't notice your sore elbow." But with the right application I think it can be entirely positive. If the attention required of therapy X shifts you away from problem Y, even if it's not really "helpful" on its own, then it's an excellent therapy. This is why some people realize they'd rather get a gym membership than therapy sessions. That said, I think psychotherapy, as an intentional focus on underlying or neurochemical issues, can go much deeper than this approach and should be considered by many people (though positive results could themselves be considered a 'distraction' if they don't address an inherent problems).

Having chosen to move to London you are now an English tax-payer with less political representation than you had previously. That is your choice. Why should those of us who are English and who wish to continue to live in England amongst our friends and families have less political representation than those living elsewhere in the "United" Kingdom?

As for London, it is the capital of England just like Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland. Both are richer than elsewhere in their respective countries. I am not sure what point you are trying to make.

As for the Scottish Government's "progressive tuition fee policy", it was voted in by Scottish MSPs. The tuition fees paid by the English were forced on the English by MPs from Scotland who knew their own constituents would be unaffected - MPs from England (and Wales) voted against these fees but were overridden by Scottish MPs. That is not the fault of those MPs that the English voted for, but rather by a system of Devolution designed by effectively the Scottish Labour Party. And every time anybody who is English tries to address the issue there are howls of outrage from the rest of the UK, and Scotland in particular.

> Facebook said the label was intended to only identify historical treason. “Treason was included as a category, given its historical significance. Given it’s an illegal activity, we’ve removed it as an interest category,” a spokesperson said.

I'm very confused by this. What is "historical treason" in this context?

Also, this certainly also sounds bad in light of all this:

> The news comes a day after Facebook was discovered to have given privileged access to its site to mail service Mail.Ru, a Russian site with links to the Kremlin.

I feel like it should just be assumed at this point that Russia probably used this information successfully to identify dissidents and is knocking on their doors at this very moment.

I really don’t mind dedicated tracks. Then we just have self driving taxis/buses that service predefined points. Nothing wrong with that.

A 24/7 transport system that gets you to the last mile and is cheap is an impressive achievement.
Of course you should stay out of the way. But on the other hand, if everyone stayed out of the way, nobody would actually help. Do you see all those miles of hoses? Where do you suppose those came from? Did you see the discarded pile that were 8cm instead of 10cm? Who is mocking the fire department that donated those? What about that silly convenience store that shipped in all the Spam to feed people who would prefer to eat roast beef? Should we mock them for all the Spam that got thrown away?

When you and I sat in front of our monitors to see what others were doing, some people took inventory of their resources and offered whatever they could in the chance that it might be useful. They were willing for it to be thrown away if it wasn't useful.

I'm not here to apologise for Musk. I'm here to praise everyone who donated food, tanks, hoses, pumps, skeds, submarines, money, housing, or their life. Thank you.

Update: I stuck my ear next to the keyboard and I do hear coil whine on it. I actually hadn't heard it before because the fans are usually pushing hard on it (I sit in the Adobe suite most of my day) and I also have it off to the side, on a stand, with an external keyboard/monitor/mouse.

I'm not sure if this is something that will bother me in the future. I am sensitive to sound and have misophonia, but I can't hear it unless I literally stick my ear on the keyboard. So this one is still TBD for me, though I appreciate your comment, as it made me check it out more closely.

I haven't noticed the audio issues, but there again, I have it using a USB DAC to a receiver with bookshelf speakers, so I really haven't used the speakers at all. And rarely would I--if I'm out and about with it, I have noise-cancelling headphones I take everywhere.

Misleading. From the study:

> Rats were exposed to ... whole-body SAR exposures of 0, 1.5, 3, or 6 W/kg

The lowest exposure they tested was equivalent to an average person (80kg in North America, evidently) standing right in front of the antenna of a 120W transmitter 24/7.

Add to that the fact that this area is dense with Neolithic remains: this is just one more to add to the list. And in Ireland there is no tradition of circular irrigation structures, let alone interrupted circles! It could, of course, be a unique and bizarre folly from a more recent period. But given the location and the fact that henges are a known phenomenon, that can really be ruled out.

It's around 30 degrees C and very little rain, so farmers have to send their cattle to early slaughter since there's no food for them. The water supplies are really low, and trees and grass have turned yellow.

This does not seem to be the case in private universities, where high graduation rate is a strongly desired statistic. Maybe one or two people total left my Chemical Engineering class over four years, and usually to switch to something like Chemistry. I'm not sure what kinds of grades were typically passed out, but there always seemed to be strong pressure not to fail students.
In modern usage, you could probably substitute an em dash. But, if a writer did that and I were editing, I'd probably go with the semicolon. A period would probably be fine too.

I usually think of em dashes as a substitute for parentheses.
