I refuse to believe Candid Camera did anything as heinous as harassing people for their religion and ethnicity and then making a show out of going to their place of worship to "just criticize" an international conspiracy they purport as existing.

That YouTuber has been banned from entering the UK for inciting racial hatred. I don't believe it's wise to take anything she says or shows on her channel at face value.

I find it concerning that you're willing to put her brand of divisive hate on par with Candid Camera's pranks, as if what she's doing is just silly antics.

Which deviates so far from pizza, it ought just be called Chicago pie.
Apple doesn't seem to care about that market. The iPhone ate the company, and its plans for the Mac seem unclear.

This just helps cement Microsoft's relative monopoly on the business pro market outside software development.

I would appreciate it if you at least presumed that I tried to think about the scenario, rather than made up fantasies to live in.

The core idea I am exploring is that quality of life is seemingly unrelated to the number of species in totality within a continent.

The strongest argument usually made for saving endangered species is that if a niche goes unfilled, the entire ecosystem is damaged and in the worst case may suffer from localized collapse. However, if you look at entire continents, multiple species exist within the same niche, merely separated from inter-breeding by distance, so no niches go unfilled (i.e. wipe out the wolves, and the foxes will step up to eat the possums).

England once had lions, and when they were gone other species filled their niche, and human life went on.
At Hoover Dam, 100% of the river flows through the turbines with no bypass. The dam was originally built for flood control. Power generation is driven by downstream water demands. [1]

"The entire flow of the Colorado River passes through the turbines."
Are you suggesting it's illegitimate to prioritize the interests of your fellow human beings above those of non-human creatures?

Not everyone makes use of those features and the last time I was using a Red-Hat system, it was for Java deployments, which is also not Linux related in any form.

Same applies to the C, C++, Fortran and now Chapel code that usually runs on HPC clusters.
Not what I was expecting at all. I was expecting something more akin to kelp farming as recently described on a 60 Minutes episode: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/seaweed-farming-and-its-surpris...

Growing conventional crops underwater seems like a non-starter idea if you need to create a walled-off environment for them to grow. What makes more sense is to find plants that can grow in salty water and feed off the natural environment.

Why aren't endangered species protections treated more like eminent domain? In cases where cooperation is more efficient than completely taking the land, the restrictions can be added to the property deed and the owner compensated.

Putting arbitrary and unpredictable costs on landowners seems like a bad system.

EDIT: by "bad system", I mean "less effective and less fair".
Putting malicious code before the signature doesn't work because gpg chops it out. It only outputs the verified part.

It is definitely a kludge though.

But keep in mind that many people have tried and still failed to adequately disable the locking mechanism on a self-cleaning oven, and had to watch (and smell) as their pizza turned to a big pile of ash.
It might be apt to rephrase that into "Don't muck with things we can't fix."

When faced with ecosystem change, our ability to fix ills is extremely limited. Cane toads, kudzu, pythons in the Everglades, Asian carp, Emerald Ash Borers, and wolf depopulation have permanently changed habitats for the worse.
I investigated this recently after I read another article about COBOL [1]. My conclusion is that it's a much better idea to learn modern languages and frameworks, and work with web/mobile applications, or machine learning. COBOL does not paid very well for the average developer. I saw COBOL jobs advertised with salaries around $50k to $80k. Another article [2] talked about how "experienced COBOL programmers can earn more than $100 an hour" to fix up old bank software. That's a reasonable hourly rate but nothing amazing. An experienced web/mobile developer will earn more than that, and the work will be much more enjoyable: modern language and tooling, modern software development practices (e.g. test-driven development), plenty of libraries, lots of answers on StackOverflow, etc.

Biometric-compatible photos must be done at the site of issuance, because people just cannot stop smiling and doing other nonsense when taking photographs themselves.

A photo booth at the site of issuance is very cheap compared to salaries of employees who work there. And it lowers total cost of issuance when you consider costs on the side of the citizen.

It's true in any circumstance. If you get rid of the employees -- the workers -- who's left to make anything, clean anything, provide food, etc?

Capitalists somehow forget that the workers even exist and are a necessary part of businsses, and seemingly think that all work that gets done is by pure magic. It's an immoral and unethical to not care what the workers say in quest of your personal profit.

I've had pizza cooked in an outdoor clay cob oven once. It was probably the best pizza i've ever had. This was years ago and I still don't think i've had any that's compared since. It was just the perfect level of crispy and soft. I've got no room to have one where I live...but they do definitely produce a fine pizza.
Also pie is made of pastry, pizza is made of bread dough. I thought the title was a mistake or something.
It probably matters if we can unmuck something. Once whales are extinct we cannot bring them back.

Yep -- this kind of touches on some of the issues in the recent thread on the Mac Mini -- Apple's hardware offerings have been diminishing in utility for pro / power users for some time now -- it's like they're intentionally abandoning the pro market. Not surprising that Autodesk is discontinuing support.
Weren't emojis added because Japanese phones had them, since a long, long time (before smartphones), and the main pursuit of unicode is to be able to represent all written characters? The first emojis would be close to the 20 year lapse now, and they are the most used.

Haha, ok. Thank you again for all your hard work! Iterm2 is 90% the reason I pay a premium for a Mac. I would gladly skip paying the apple tax and put the funds toward iterm2 on other platforms if it ever becomes available :)
These are great questions... briefly:

* Licensing - if you use one of the installers (for OSX or Windows) you're presented with the GPL3 as part of the installation process.

* Mac OSX package (and to the same extent, the Windows installer) - Mu comes with everything bundled in so you don't have to mess around installing a bunch of stuff to make it work. We did it this way after asking for feedback from school network administrators who always said some variation of "make my life as simple as possible". Mu is only just less than 4k lines of Python so, you're right in thinking that the rest of the installer is Qt and a bunch of other stuff (like Tk/tkinter, needed for Python's turtle module to work, something many teachers have told us they need). We also bundle PyGame, iPython, Matplotlib, Numpy etc etc... so they're just there by default if you simply install Mu. In this sense, Mu is a sort of "instant Python for education" (just add learners). ;-)

* Bundling - I'm happy for Mu to be bundled if this were useful to another project although I guess this depends upon what use case you're thinking of. For example, Mu is already "bundled" (in a sense) in Raspbian as a recommended package. If in doubt, just reach out.
Didn't Alias transition to Qt, like other Alias programs (Maya)?

Just buy a pizza steel (like this: https://pizzasteel.com/). Warm it in an oven at max for 45 minutes, then turn the grill (broiler) on for 15 mins to get it as hot as possible.

Then bake your pizza on it with the grill still on.
Hehe, I’m going to chuckle if we get a “Deep Dish isn’t pizza” fight going on HN.

There are a few other non-Chicago “pies” or Deep Dish styles as well. https://slice.seriouseats.com/2008/01/a-list-of-regional-piz...
There's really no great solution to stress-induced sleep problems except to reduce stress.
"We need to face up to the fact that human endeavor is more important than animals"

Where does this fact come from? I certainly don't universally agree with this value presented as fact.
I would qualify that by saying that only in some areas of the US is a pizza called a pie. I never heard that term until I was an adult. I would say it's probably limited to the northeast and perhaps Chicago.
I take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D daily and 3 mg of Melatonin about an hour or so before bed. It has all but cured a lifetime of serious sleep issues.
Obviously not useful to grow land plants in these sorts of domes for useful crop yields in general. Ignoring the complexity and cost, at 22 feet you've lost most of the red spectrum and are starting to lose orange and yellow. That's a big penalty on the available energy. Maaaaybe for some weird pharma thing?

However it's probably(?) a pretty interesting and cheap experiment area.
interesting theories. not how i think of it.

i think it could be more like to protect the privacy of other citizens whose data it collects, and the effectiveness of its intelligence, the state must be opaque to the public and selectively transparent to itself.

Maybe one reason for the confusion /polarity on this topic, Is individuals think of privacy Through a framework of shame or something to hide, or nothing feel like sharing, But for states and organisations Privacy and secrecy is about maintaining Operational / strategic effectiveness.
I wonder where you can find erratas based on the edition of education you got. (e.g., if you grew up in the 90s you should know pluto is no longer a planet)

Mostly interested in basic scientific knowledge (say high school level) that has been updated.
I use Mg Citrate, because it seems pretty bio-available and easy to find. Does the form matter? Maybe I should switch to Glycinate.
Behavior and environment are largely how natural selection operates, it has never been thought otherwise. More colorful bird is selected as a mate, thicker fur survives the winter, etc.
It means its replacement would also take at least 1,000 years to evolve (depending on closest living ancestor).

Which is terrifying if you just knocked out a keystone of your ecosystem.
And does that mean women are more self-obsessed? No. Definitely not. This article is BS.
Mainly because it uses water available on the sea: salt, brackish or polluted water. All the need for energy is fulfilled by sun power. Having in on a land would add complexity with the pipes.
Moreover scarcity of water and cultivable land are the main obstacles to meet the quantitative and qualitative shifts of the world’s demand. Most of the potentially arable land is concentrated in a few geographical areas, and it is extremely scarce in many of the regions with high population growth rates, such as North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
The solution it is also modular and flexible and the capability to move it could be really useful in some circumstances.
So Apple gets to decide if they want to spend resources to support that market (maintaining OpenGL) and Autodesk similarly get to decide if they want to support Macs (by porting to Metal). Looks like both have signaled that high-end CAD on Macs is not big enough to be worth their time.

This seems more damaging to Apple than to Autodesk. If Apple let these niche-but-lucrative markets wither away one by one, where does the Mac end up?
I'm also suspicious of the cost and value of adding emoji, but what is the alternative? They are here, they need to be represented somehow. If Unicode doesn't do it it's possible that fragmented and propriety encoding systems would fill the vacuum.
As an educator, I appreciate the decision to bundle libraries such as PyGame, Matplotlib, etc with the editor. Although it's important for new coders to learn how to install libraries, it doesn't need to be one of the first things they learn. It's really nice to be able to install an editor, show students a few lines of code, and have it do something more than just print some text to a terminal. (Although, for the record, printing text to a terminal is still immensely satisfying to many new programmers. It makes them feel like they're really programming.)

I've been teaching programming off and on for many years, and I'm teaching another intro course this fall. I can't wait to give Mu a try with students.

Thanks for all your hard work, and the clarity of thinking that's gone into this project.

LOL no. Everyone knows how this particular sausage is made. It's obvious we are talking of an organically growing decades old codebase. It won't surprise anyone.

To be more on topic, ever since I learned of the PicoEVB a few months ago, I am just giddy of the possibilities, it's amazing we finally got a mobile and PCIe connected FPGA. I wasn't even looking for one because I haven't thought it possible. We truly live in the future.
Most of the "oh crap this is really bad" examples provided so far (I'm not done with the book) seem to have been for 6 hours or less, I figured 7 hours is a reasonable absolute minimum. I will aim for eight. However at this rate I'm afraid the more paranoid I get about not getting enough sleep the more difficult it becomes for me to fall asleep. I've never had issues sleeping, but this book coupled with having just moved to an apartment with a train nearby that's taking some getting used to is making me lie in bed and think about needing to sleep for longer before actually drifting off to sleep.
First part is billing model. You pay per request instead of per server. Say you have a server that can do 100 request/s. But you’re actually only doing 2. You’re overpaying by 50x if you pay for a server. At a small scale this difference is huge, as you grow it converges though.

But really, most application developers don’t care, and don’t want to care, about the underlying servers. Figuring out how autoscaling works, or keeping the kernel up to date. Individually none of these things are that hard, but there’s a bunch of time that adds up. Time that could be spent adding features that make money.

There is still a lot of marketing hype around it. Things like infinitely scalable fall apart when you have connection limits on a db and lambda doesn’t support pooling. Aws pushes it because it gives them extra flexibility - doubling the density of functions is probably easier than instances.

I don’t think the current form of api gateway + lambda is the final state, but something more like fargate, where you get a whole container and no time limit, is really interesting. Or we can all just go back to heroku.
While I suppose "informed best guess" might be possible, I don't see how this 'intelligence' makes it into the process. Liver more stressed in this particular organism? Tweak the DNA in the reproductive organs. I don't think we even have a theory that could explain how that should work. Maybe we'll get there one day.

But I suspect, as has been demonstrated in labs with bacteria, that it really is random. When their environment begins to show signs of contamination, the bacteria's inner workings don't use an "informed best guess" when mutating for reproduction - the random changes result in bacteria suited for death with exposure to the contamination, and bacteria that are more resistant to the contamination. Guess which ones survive to pass on the trait.
Compiling the hello world with -betterC yields a binary of size 8.2K. Seems small but when your microcontroller has 8K of program space that's just untenable. Of course those small micros are getting rarer nowadays when a large AVR and ARM micros are cheap, but there is still an entire range of minimal microcontrollers that are extremely limited in resources.
I found this[0] discussion on Jonathon Blow's youtube channel about game physics/framerate dependence. It certainly seems to more than simply a problem of software architecture as some commenters appear to suggesting here.

TBH, the writing was on the wall since the announcement. Very reminiscent of situation with Adobe and Premiere, which spawned FCP and a decade-old grudge between the companies.

I have to ask this, even though I use OSX but have no idea, can drivers provided by third parties include openGL support for MacOS? Nvidia provides drivers for their cards regularly. Does it work like on other OS'?
Imagine the economic result if we got rid of the TSA (we did fine without it before 9/11 and they don't do shit now) and created jobs in rebuilding infrastructure using that budget.

The point of the exercise is that many people don't really grok that a billion is a thousand times bigger than a million, - or rather just how much bigger a factor of 1000 actually is, when talking about big numbers that they're not as used to... no matter whether using paper, or a desk, or a wall for scale.

To be fair most grade school teachers just have a bachelor's in their subject

(if you're lucky) (also don't include masters of education, that's about teaching, not the subject matter being taught)

that they aquired a decade or so ago. It's not surprising if what they know is well what they were taught and not what is most current.
That would require an intelligence to be informed and to make a guess. There is none.
A far cheaper, easier to use and easier to clean option is an Uuni oven.
Not if the lake is going to be there in either case.

However, storing months of power is silly, you are much better off with extra ~6c/kWh wind/solar that you use 1/2 the year than trying to store ~6kWh energy for six months.

Renewable are the new base load power becase they are Cheap and you don’t gain from not using that energy. They still need peaking power or storage to follow the demand curve.

PS: Say it three times fast ‘base load power is a downside.’
I should have specified linear instead of even.

We don't owe anyone anything. I agree. But, no one owes anything to us either. If you think about it, we really aren't doing it for other species, are we? A few among us are being cautious to foresee something that could affect us.

Sure, we can call it save the planet and feel important but say if the ecology balance is broken down, food chains are broken up, its humans who get adversely affected, with perhaps lot of other species but there are going to be lots of species that will do just fine, some will perhaps even thrive. In other words, life goes on, without humans, no one cares.

Disclaimer: Few ideas borrowed generously from George Carlin's take on save the planet. Funny but wise, I think.
Uunis will absolutely flare up. That's the whole reason they tell you to not stand near the back of it when in use.
Variety has a non-aesthetic value as well -- more complex ecosystems have greater resilience to shock (e.g. climate change or invasive species introduction).

A broader variety of species allows for the loss / decrease in a particular function to be more quickly replaced by a similar species. As opposed to a simpler, more limited ecological system, where there may only be a single species fulfilling a given role. A single species that might be highly vulnerable to a new toxin / predator / fungus / virus / different average temperature.
