There is an interesting part about solar generating electricity when its sunny - it will help population move to warmer climes. If you live in Ohio heating in winter is a problem, solar isn't going to keep you warm on a cold night (ok batteries can help but they're expensive). If you live in the South West though its perfect as Winter nights dont require much heat and the biggest loads are AC at the times when there is lots of sun.

Perhaps this will mean living in Southern California, Arizona etc will be increasingly popular as energy costs will be much more affordable. Of course water is the next problem, but cheap electricity can help that too.
All the install hooks are run chrooted inside the pacman install directory.

But, yeah, they run as root, so they could still do something nasty at install time. Not when you `makepkg` the PKGBUILD, though.
That can easily be part of the fun (and learning aspect), though: The detective work in researching what the real system does, based on analysis of a real system (if you have one) or just derived from what available software titles do and expect.

Some documentation is good to get you started, but at a certain point it’s the actual software that should be the guiding factor. Inaccurate documentation, which is not uncommon for the Game Boy, can be unnecessarily misleading though (on the other hand, there’s some satisfaction in essentially proving a different behavior, especially if you accept a piece of documentation to be likely inaccurate from the get go).

I can't help you with Kafka specifically, but when I encounter this problem with art that I suspect is worthwhile but that I am personally failing to engage with, I've found it rewarding to read up on some critical theory analysis. This expands on elements I might not be catching on to and can open new ways of engaging with the work. Often it's my own expectations being challenged, and it can take some work to understand how to engage with it and how it's doing the "work" that it does.

If you're looking for entertainment value then this advice doesn't necessarily apply.
Technical difficulties will be much greater. The brain is still a single point of failure. The "expansion" approach allows gradual increase of intelligence thru intermediate exocortex stage, boosting the progress, while studying which information processes/something else corresponds to conscious subjective experiences, paving the way for relocation of consciousness locus outside of the brain or resorting to other measures in a case of impossibility.

Except that the wealth of a country is not typically heritable, so I would say in the best case scenario (for him) he simply has temporary access to the resources of the country, which he seems to be using for the betterment of that country. After he's out of office or dies, his children will get some preferential treatment and their connections and influence may be worth millions, but not billions or trillions. His children will not inherit all the oil fields in Russia. And it's not like children of Western leaders don't gain similar influence and connections.

If its a police officer, you can sue for intentional torts because it was committed by a "investigative or law enforcement officer".

Intentional torts against "investigative or law enforcement officers" are specifically permitted by the FTCA.

I'm not sure about local funding (I think there's a certain amount of state and county funding as well). I'm sure that differs for each one. They also often staff the fire department with local volunteers. I have a couple uncles that did this for years in a very small town (~600 people). The fire department was mostly used for preventing/stopping wildfires in the surrounding area (which occur fairly often). When I've visited in the past they would give us tours. They had mostly military vehicles which could make it over the terrain (the gama goat was pretty interesting) and a regular engine (which I believe was a hand-me-down from another city). They were proud of what they were doing there to help protect the community.
What makes you say that? Writing a Game Boy emulator is essentially implementing a whole computer system, in the case of the Game Boy one that can quickly give you gratifying results, but allows you to dive almost arbitrarily deep.

I’d state the opposite and claim that it’s actually one of the most fun and interesting things I’ve ever undertaken. In fact, I am more interested in the process than the actual product. There are tons of well working Game Boy emulators already.
Not AWS in particular so much as a class has a certain amount of credit they could spend with AWS, Azure, etc. So they can use cloud resources to support what they do -- particularly good if you want to stack up a distributed system.

So far as syllabus I say talk to your profs. For a compilers class today it would make a lot of sense to hack on some open source compiler rather than start from scratch and there are many cool compiler-like things that center around Javascript.
Yep. If they fuck up next time it could cost 4% of Global Revenue - Quick google says that's ~1.7bn dollars.
The install hooks are chrooted inside the pacman install directory.

But, yeah, they run as root, so they can still do damage.

My point was that the danger zone is when you trust the package, rather than when you run the PKGBUILD itself with `makepkg`. Of course `makepkg -i` runs both `makepkg` and `pacman` as root.

Ask HN: What are some of the mind mapping and outlining apps you like the best?
I am trying to find a tool to create/maintain mind/concept maps and outlines I would love and use actively. No luck so far. I would appreciate everybody to share recommendations.

Free (at least for a limited number of users and a limited number of documents) collaborative mapping is appreciated yet not mandatory. An option to download a document as a file is a must. All documents must be private unless I actually choose to publish them.

Recommendations targeting any of the popular platforms (including mobile, web and PC) are welcome, so are both free and commercial apps.
Since we are talking about accuracy and efficiency of language here via a textual interface, I'll voice the following observation, and attempt to not be overly pedantic

The statement/question "Clearly you've never tried to learn a second language?" is an expression pattern I see frequently. A statement ended with a question mark.

Perhaps it was meant to be intentionally cheeky? Which would be funny, if I knew to interpret it that way. A /s would make this more obvious to me

Or possibly, the sentence was started based on an assumption. This was realized part way through, then a ? was tacked on at the end?

Is there another way to interpret this expression that I am not aware of?

Assumptions of others' knowledge seems to be commonplace, yet we seem to still convey ideas somewhat decently. "Rum and Coke" vs "Roman Coke". Maybe Roman's love their rum and Coke? Either way, odds are, I'll receive the correct drink.

In regards to the original article. Here are my assumptions.

I perceive a sentence as a train-of-connected-thoughts that conveys an actional expression of a person's experience, as well as their attached feelings to that experience. In that regard, I similarly view any attached grammar.

"The dog did a backflip?!" - A person receives data of an experience, first checks it's validity, realizes it falls outside their current understanding of possibility, then proceeds to double-check that they received the data correctly

> Receiver of data: "Wait, did I hear that correctly?"

"The dog did a backflip!?" - A person receives data of an experience, first accepts it (likely first-hand or from a reliable source), then realizes it falls outside their current understanding of possibility based on other reinforced models of reality, and proceeds to doubt said data)

> Receiver of data: "I didn't believe my own eyes!"

"The dog did a backflip‽" - A person doesn't have a preconceived notion for the data they are receiving, and has received it in a way that conveys that it is extraordinary - conveyed below

> Presenter of data: "The dog did a backflip!"

> Receiver of data: "Do dogs not usually do backflips?"

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong
If you live in Ohio that is a problem, solar isn't going to keep you warm on a cold night

Houses built to the German Passivhaus standard would do just fine in Ohio. I used to live in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, so I should know. There was one Minnesota church built with polystyrene panels that had to start running air conditioning in the middle of winter, the insulation was so good.

If you live in the South West though its perfect as Winter nights dont require much heat and the biggest loads are AC at the times when there is lots of sun.

It can get pretty darn cold at night in the desert southwest. Again, insulation is the key.

Of course water is the next problem, but cheap electricity can help that too.

It's 10X as expensive to use techniques like desalinization. It's so much more expensive, that lots of desal plants get built, then get mothballed because it's that much cheaper to get water by other means.

The problem is really _naming_ these devices first of all. If they have (global) names there's no problem to issue a certificate for those names.

But so often the device doesn't have any name at all, so it's maybe 10.0.0.1, and so is everything else, the problem only appears to be in the security layer because that's the first place which absolutely insists that you can't have a situation where everybody is just named "Bruce" with no other identifier.

Where it does have a name, the name is often not part of the global namespace. At least here we can fix that with a namespace suffix. Sold five million routers with serial numbers? Name them $serialnumber.routers.your-company.example and problem solved. Now that they have a name, issuing them certificates isn't difficult.

(Yes, a commercial vendor who'll hook you up with five million certificates won't do it for free. The little rubber feet and the half-arsed English translation of the instruction manual weren't free either. Too bad)
It’s not convenient, and certainly not casual, but there are many doing this in a variety of configurations. Check out the Financially Independent, Retire Early folks.

Wouldn’t it be super strange if it was casually easy for everyone to earn $10M. Comically, if it was, then we’d have hyper inflation until it got hard again.

I provided a link to the s&p history. Check it out. Anyone who can open a vanguard account can buy an s&p index. Of course maybe you’re wondering who is getting 6% risk-free and the answer is no one.

Past performance doesn’t guarantee future returns, but it’s a good idea anyway. Check out Buffet’s bet on whether index funds will beat the professional hedge fund managers in a 10 year period [0].

My point is that while very difficult due to discipline and with some risk, it is possible if you set your mind to it. As opposed to say, winning the lotto which has no reasonable way for a hard working person to pay out. So if you want to join the inner circle, it’s better to just get training and work hard for 45 years than to win the lotto.

You can certainly trade this for being “massively more comfortable” if that’s your preference. Most people do.

Every time I look at my Netflix viewing history over long periods I kind of wish I hadn’t traded hard work for “massive comfort.”

Former Tesla employee blasted by Elon Musk takes battle to SEC
The OP has a very strong point when it comes to money.

If they offer you a $800 wage, when your unemployment is $400, your effective earning rate for the work you are doing is just $400/mo. Cost-benefit analysis isn't in favor of working. The employers either have to offer something on top of the starting wage (like clear path to advancement), or raise the wage. Otherwise it's a fairly logical choice for people to stay home and draw unemployment.

Most European cities have grids but you have to "zoom in" a lot. And those grid "pieces" aren't themselves arranged in grids. So there's usually very little continuity for the grid pattern over distances. The direction tends to change every few streets.

So in most cities if you zoom in on the map you'll see mostly grid-like patterns. But as soon as you start zooming out it fades away into a mash of directions, turns, and swirls. The only places where it's hard to find any kind of straight line is in (centuries) old city centers.

I don't find Weimar particularly "griddy" compared to any other city.

P.S. Barcelona is the "griddiest" big European city I know. Even though at some point the grid changes alignment they have huge chunks with almost perfect squares between streets.

>In 1988 she sold the manuscript of The Trial for $2 million, at which point it became clear that one could turn quite a profit from Kafka

To some, $2 million would be a bargain for, say, a new Kafka novel.

The conspiracy theorist side of me has often wondered whether maybe Kafka did it intentionally. Intentionally left his novels unfinished, intentionally started a legend that he requested them to be destroyed unpublished, etc. It would certainly resonate with the tones and themes that permeate his works. Perhaps he himself realized that no ending could possibly suit a novel like "The Castle" better than the unfinished lack-of-ending he gave it, which makes our hearts yearn so strongly for an ending, and which is such a great parallel with the futility of the novel itself.
What I meant is that you will end up permanently with multiple solutions for the same problem if you try to change things gradually. This has several drawbacks: Additional complexity having to support both versions, confusion with new developers about which variant to use, a higher likeliness that someone will add a third variant. You have to weigh the benefits of the new alternative against having a more complex code base/doing the grunt work of changing everything at once.

So in this example you have to weigh the benefits of the two file tests against having tests that work uniformly.
Q: Where one can check solar energy prices?
Mine was me observing the similarity of the previous two. If there was any difference there then it was too polite/subtle for me.
The fibers aren't that big an issue. If you want better heat tolerant fibers you can use basalt fiber.

The problem is the matrix, which softens under heat unless you use exotic things like ceramic matrix composites which are brittle.
I had it like that at my last job. It was technical issues every day. The teams were spending at least half their time just troubleshooting.

Nobody wanted to rip out the old problematic systems and start over. So I left. You should do the same. Plenty of jobs out there where you can grow and actually build high quality solutions.
The sad truth is that Big Companies are always cutting prices. It's impossible to get contracts at decent prices to shovel it down to the devs. I see both sides of the equation and in France you can't get clients if daily rates are too highs ; then you struggle to pay people what they truly deserve.

Our devs are not paid enough to save projects poorly down by half-competent team from big SSII that undercut everyone else.

And then the client is saying : "how can it takes so long ? I am only asking for this feature from Dropbox, that one from Google, a Facebook like feed and some Whatsapp notifications, all synchronised with these existing applications ! NOTHING HARD to do here !"
