I've not used any of those languages so I might be wrong, but from their description pages, there are two mayor salient differences:

- Tersus doesn't have a textual representation, it's a purely visual language

- Luna shows the data currently being processed besides the visual primitive that handles them.

This second part may be invaluable. I worked with a Tersus-like flow language in the past, and building simple data-processing pipelines was a breeze; but debugging them to add more complex logic was a pain, because inspecting the current state of the graph is quite difficult - in special when there are nested loops.
Sleep Length, Quality and CV Disease and Mortality: Dose‐Response Meta‐Analysis
Statements like "don't buy meat" are much more of a gimmick than tinkering with cattle feed. The latter is a realistic option -- which might not make a huge difference, but it will make a difference. The former is a pipe dream. Humans have been eating meat since before they were human. Good luck changing that in the timeframe we have before climate change becomes very painful.

I'm also willing to admit that this is probably a case in which whatever system you grew up with, that's what you will prefer and no argument will sway your opinion in the other direction. (Although the metric system does have clear advantages)

I'm not the biggest mobile gamer, but I'm not sure I've ever played a game on my phone while it was plugged into a charger.

The "debugging apps" case doesn't entirely convince me, either. Unless you're pushing it pretty hard, I'm fairly certain an iPhone will make it through the day on one charge. If not, drop it on a charging mat when you go for lunch. (note that recent versions of Xcode can deploy and debug iPhone apps over Wi-fi -- so the cable isn't really needed for data any more...)

But for those who do need this, it's pretty easy to imagine a case with some charging coils embedded in the back.
Sure, but if they’re likely to pull you into a conflict you don’t want and would otherwise avoid, it’s usually a better idea to avoid it.

6 things to never tell your design lead
Your example with cars would only make sense if a software bug put a driver in direct danger without giving them time to be responsible and mitigate the danger. In almost all situations, even with modern technology in cars, it's the driver's responsibility to drive/steer/brake to mitigate the danger.

How many pieces of software exist in this world where there is zero chance of even a catastrophic bug causing harm to humans? I would bet most of the existing pieces fit this description. Now apply that question to works of civil engineering, and you have a different picture.
Because there is no vanilla Android ROM that works perfectly out of the box on all devices and you need a device with a unlocked bootloader to even that get far.
Phishing - that's gonna leave a DMARC
Not everyone has CPU cycles to waste, like users on mobile. Even then, the cost of a consumer contributing one connection is an amount of work that's totally tractable by a spammer.

Unless you get into tokens and paying money to contribute. Which defeats the purpose. Why would I pay money to contribute to a decentralized service?
uBlock Origin blocks YT ads in the browser.
How does one measure that? With fiat currency? By the total number of goods produced? How does the quality of output fit into this model?

If you get more of something but quality is lower then it's not necessarily progress. You might need more of that thing to get the same value out of it.
This is a bit like selling pens, after copyrighting the chemical composition of the ink, and then insisting that anything an author writes with the pen belongs to the company.

Hey HN,

A few months ago I became frustrated that there was no way to easily see the real-time fiat price of non-uniform amounts of cryptocurrencies. I decided to do something about it and learned javascript and CSS and began making Crypto Toolbox.

The project evolved significantly from when I began making to today. I eventually added portfolio tracking, news aggregation, and price alerts to the original conversion feature to arrive at what is now Crypto Toolbox.

Ultimately I made this extension in order to fill a need for myself and I hope others get as much use out of it as I do.

I would love to hear any feedback here or on Twitter where my handle is @colin_barnes.
yes. that's right. it was the proliferation of costly lawsuits in recent decades which diminished the use of asbestos in the US.

companies are still trying to resolve all of these lawsuits.

what kind of incentives would need to be in place for a company to willingly put that lawsuit target on its own back?
True, but clearly labeling people as "the enemy" might help others decide who to believe.

Agreed! but they might be easier to spot than you think...

warped pads with low miles or pad material that laps the backplate are all signs of a cheap chinesium aftermarket product. these cheap pads usually have issues with fracturing, which scores the rotor and can cause pistons to seize.

but that's moving the goal post: why is attention a factor here at all?
That's assuming polling and research don't exist. That's also assuming that votes can't be flipped as results come in. It's also assuming that a voting machine must flip votes if it's hacked. If the conspiracy is true, the more likely result is these machines can be programmed to only flip a small number of votes, just enough to change the outcome, and only if they need to. Most of the votes will be counted as they were cast, only just enough would need to be flipped.

I think we can all imagine that computers can be programmed to perform this logic fairly trivially.
I realized the futility of trying to keep my data private. I used to never upload my contacts to any site, because I valued my privacy and my contacts' privacy. Then I found things like my phone number being detected by Facebook, and I realized that it didn't matter what I did. Any one of the hundreds of people who had my phone number could upload my information without my consent, and thus nothing I did mattered. I was infuriated but now I just give up, because there's no way to control your own information.

Even something as private as DNA is no longer under my own control. A sibling signed himself up for 23andme, and I realized that once he did that, I'm as good as being up there too. My entire family tree can now be identified because of that single person, which is scary as hell.
The instructions I got basically said to have nothing in the car except what you absolutely needed, and that anything in the vehicle could be taken / don't have anything in there that might make someone wonder about what you would do with it (I'm thinking it would have been a bad time for photography hobbies).

This was before smartphones were super prevalent so not taking your phone really wasn't a big deal. Had my car broken down near the facility I suspect that I would have had "help" pretty quickly ;)

For all I know it was unnecessary, guys at the gate didn't talk much, although I did see them "inspecting" cars.

I got instructions from my company and folks familiar with that customer, it's possible they were just extra cautious. This wasn't like visiting a frequently visited facility or anything where you can look up the rules or anything.

>The good news is that, eventually, automation will reduce living costs.

I’m not sure even this is true because of the degree of hyper-financialization and rent-seeking in areas like housing and healthcare. For example, with housing, even assuming we clear the zoning barrier, you still run into the problem of housing being an investment vehicle for global Capital. They’ll let it sit vacant or be consolidated into rental conglomerates in exchange for a relatively secure asset with marginal returns.

It’s possible that systems in Europe with a greater degree of decommodification will benefit from automation (e.g. easier to build public housing and easier to administer socialized medicine), but this seems unlikely to hold true in the American context, barring some massive political change.

So there isn't a hard and fast rule of "don't let countries bordering on aggressive nations" join, which is my initial point. The benefits and downsides of Greece joining the EU were weighed, and it was allowed to join.
Reading the few comments here is really interesting.

Every-time there is a discussion about Dart , people talk about Flutter... they very rarely talk about Dart on the Server or on the Web...

A while ago I considered using Dart to build a Web API. I was shocked by the non-existent ecosystem around this language.

The Redis package has been un-maintained for almost three years now, and Angular Dart is always a few version behind the TypeScript version and doesn't support SSR.

I was also very surprised that Google during dart conf never commented on using Dart on the server but instead always insisted on using it for their clients (Web and Mobile). I think I'm not lying by saying that a huge part of Google runs on JVM , Go or Python but definitely not on Dart VM.

For me Dart is the language that developer needed , but never wanted to use. It failed miserably when it was introduced few years ago, since then JavaScript took off and has become almost a universal language.

This is very frustrating seeing how much the language is efficient and well structured but it the same times doesn't mean much now seeing how mature JavaScript is becoming.

For me Dart took long to become what is it now , and today the only thing that would make people using this language is really Flutter.

Beside that , I'm afraid they are very little reason to use this language.

That's entirely missing the point. How much would you pay to have an extra 30 minutes with your kids or significant other? Or an extra 30 minutes on your hobby project? Or generally speaking doing anything other than buying paper towels at a wholesale market. That's how much your time is worth.

And our time is limited. Our kids are only living with us and wanting to play with us for scant few years. We're only young and healthy and able to do active things for scant few years too. The value of that time is more now than later.

If you're telling me that you would rather spend that 30min driving to Costco, dealing with parking, lugging that big pack of paper towels to the checkout stand, waiting in line, and driving back, all to save $2.50... that says a depressing amount about how much you value your life and the people you spend it with.

EDIT: Or you are actually so poor that the trade-off is "buy low price or don't don't eat next week," in which case I respect it. But then you wouldn't actually be shopping at Costco since it isn't the lowest prices.
It does say it's only being approved in special cases. I wouldn't expect the building industry to suddenly start using it again.

How many of those 3000 are a legacy of the previous eras misunderstanding of the chemical? I doubt any company would ignore that risk and produce a product that put people at a direct and unknown risk, especially given the legal liability since we now know the full risks of the chemical and the alternatives the market has long ago developed in every category.
It's definitely real. My wife's gastroenterologist put her a low-fodmap diet after she come in for digestion issues. It worked very well (she had to keep a food diary for a month).

The problem is as you suggest, the diet is far too limiting to really be sustainable in the long run. Most Americans grew up eating the restricted items every day. So it's pretty hard to replace things like onions, garlic, peanuts, and dairy in their diet.
The ground might be softer in one direction. There may have been something worth mining out in a specific direction. Of course this only occurs orthogonally in the real world :) The main point is that with mining a tunnel is the natural structure and rooms would be unusual.

An empty hallway is great for storage and requires much less support than building out a room. It could also be explained by venting or similar that might not show up on a map.
Just to be clear: There has never been any real evidence put forth that Russia tampered with the US elections in any direct manner. They had some bots of Facebook that attempted to sway public opinion, and that's about it. Whether they had individual agents placed as poll workers have never been proven.

My own take is that there is corruption in the US voting system and that major cities have some badly corrupted districts that could be fixed if we wanted to: Voter ID, limit absentee ballots, and place neutral observers from outside the county. It's not a matter of being able to fix the problem, it is a matter of will because voter fraud is institutional.
A bit of a clickbait title, but let's entertain the idea for a second.
Another one of those articles that claim that securing everything is a bad idea simply because their routine got shaken or altered. What is his alternative then? Remove it so you have 'slightly less slow' experience. (although, to be fair he states he does not know the solution) It's like complaining trams are less accessible because they have doors instead of just a platform with wheels. Sure, trough that lens you are right. But you are also willingly ignoring all the other facts.
The problem here is super slow internet not encryption. And no matter how hard and often these sec-nay-sayers repeat it. It does not make it a valid reason to roll back. Slow internet in Africa needs to be solved for a multitude of reasons. Not one of them is 'experience'

For most things, most people don't care.
Penal labor was very common in the 1860s. The UK, and its colonies, didn't ban penal labor until about 1950s. France didn't ban it until 1987. The statement was added to the Northwest Ordinance and the 13th Amendment, not as a sop to the Southerners to reintroduce slavery by backdoor means, but to ensure that someone couldn't look at the text and decide that the customary practice of penal labor would be considered outlawed.
We would spend a lot of tax money on this regulation

How so? Are you thinking they would check every single model, or something like that? As far as I know, that's not how these regulations are enforced, they wait for complaints, then confirm the claims and fine the company.
I'd like to know, though, are you aware of other Open Source D&D tools that are available?

I had a quick peek on GitHub now, and it brought up:
https://github.com/adventurerscodex/adventurerscodex

So, is there any reason to roll your own from scratch rather than contributing to one of the existing projects?

If it's to have your own project that you have complete control over, or if it's just to do something fun yourself, that's totally cool. I'd just like to know.

We did indeed hit "Peak Oil" for conventional oil fields just as predicted. But we started to access new sources of oil to fill the gap. As long as we find new energy sources that are cheaper than oil we will never run out of oil because we can simply make more from other sources. Every form of good energy can be converted into every form of other energy (at some losses). Food can be turned into energy and energy can be turned into food. The big question is if we will develop cheap energy sources quickly enough.

If we don't we will have to reduce consumption considerably and there are several ways to achieve that.
My way to rationalize it? People thought the same thing years before you, or I, was born. And they'll think the same years after the both of us are gone. It can be demoralizing, yes, but ultimately a stoic approach seems to me the best way to "think away" things like this.

American politics was very centerist in the past. The toxic partisan nature of it, which both sides are currently doubling down on, is largely a modern invention.

The unending increase in size and scope of government has been largely separate from this, and was a feature of both parties despite rhetoric for much of the last century. Not just in the US but in every western country.

Saying that government has been stripped of power by x party simply doesn't hold up to facts. If anything the power has consistently increased, or at most occasionally plateaued or massively increased in other areas. But most importantly only a few well connected individuals and companies are getting exceptions to that rule, in special circumstances.

Which is exactly what this law change is about: it explicitly says it will only be done in special circumstances. Their power to regulate asbestos has not been diminished at all, they've merely further solidified cronyism and legislation-by-special-favour into law.
Once ISPs got into the games of content injection and selling log data, HTTPS for even simple blogs became more of a necessity.
