Did film cameras produce toxic fumes that kill thousands every year?
Yeah, Bill Gates proposed that solution to spam. Another one is having people register with proven credentials of their legal name and physical address.

Yet Hacker News isn't using these.

Because shadow banning, for example, works. Having someone's voice lost while they don't know about it (keep living in their bubble) works.

The lesson here: don't assume that your solution is the only solution.

Usenet, e-mail, and forums have taught us already that the solution to this problem is advanced, silent filtering (which have been innovated in the anti-spam arms race [1]) essentially akin to shadow banning. The enforcement of law also tends to help.

The top layer is an absorber, which traps incoming sunlight and converts it to heat. The material the team used is highly efficient, absorbing 95 percent of the incident sunlight, and losing only 3 percent to re-radiation

Is there anything to prevent the surface from getting too hot? Solar is powerful, but as anyone who knows of the dangers of fresnel lenses and magnifying glasses can tell you, it can sometimes be too powerful.

High school my niece goes to gives students free Chromebooks to take home and work on. My son went to a high school that made us buy iPads. So there is an academic issue here and the new Chromebooks might eat iPad sales or cause Apple to make cheaper iPads.

Windows laptops are a joke because low end laptops uses slow CPUs and Intel graphics. Mid end laptops for $600 have faster CPUs and Nvidia graphics but suffer preloaded bloat and virus issues a Chromebook can avoid.

I got a 10 year old laptop with Linux Mint on it that runs great. Windows 7 and above run too slow on it.
The question is not who will let you, but who will stop you.
Thanks for the mention of Joplin. I just started looking at it and it looks pretty decent for an evernote replacement.
well decentralisation so oves this problem exactly
Sprints Are the Secret to Getting More Done
If Apple made decisions that way, I suspect they wouldn't have done as well as they did. While I'm sure they did plenty of research beforehand, their biggest successes don't strike me as products where 'a satisfactory return on investment' was certain or predictable enough to optimize for.

Google did a bit of work on converting Closure annotated JavaScript to TypeScript. It's called Gents and it's part of the Clutz project https://github.com/angular/clutz/tree/master/src/main/java/c...

We used it at Lucid when we converted our codebase from Closure annotated JavaScript to TypeScript. https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2017/11/16/converting-60...

Google has support for using TypeScript in Closure annotated JavaScript via Clutz: https://github.com/angular/tsickle

It also has support converting TypeScript to Closure annotated JavaScript via tsickle: https://github.com/angular/clutz

Before we converted all of our codebase to TypeScript we used both Clutz and tsickle. It was complicated to setup, but it worked. Now we just use tsickle. It's great to get the optimization of the Closure Compiler while using TypeScript.
None now, but I can envision that vehicle simplicity relative to the gas powered one (simpler engine and no transmission) will eventually mean lower price and lower repair costs.

> Which is very convenient because the implied solution to that is no regulation at all

There is actually a third way.

We have three main options for this kind of infrastructure. The first is centralized for-profit ad-supported proprietary systems, but then you get Facebook-like privacy problems. The second is centralized for-profit subscription fee supported proprietary systems, but then you get Oracle-like rent seeking and onerous prices and the same privacy problems because they stem from the centralization rather than the advertising.

The third option is decentralized/federated infrastructure running open source software financed with grants, like DNS or the web. So that a message from Alice to Bob goes directly from Alice to Bob, encrypted end to end, and there is no Eve in the middle to have to regulate for privacy.

The thing that would speed that along is funding for development. So if you want something from the government here, get that.
I have a project with over 2000 stars[1], but I don't maintain it any more and it's not indicative of how I code at the moment. I guess it's nice to have, but what really is the worth of the stars?

> No exceptions

Well, apparently Go _is_ an exception. It lacks what you point out and is, undeniably, a successful language.
To elaborate, this weaker principle seems sufficient to support the existence of a "Naturalistic Effect", where the Naturalistic Fallacy would be the assumption that the NE will dominate any other relevant effects. The NE suffices to justify evolutionary-perspective argument, though care must be taken not to overstate the case.
This is a chronic problem in product meetings. Well said.
Maybe I'm a bit biased by my love for the terminal for most of my work responsibilities--I just can't imagine doing my job without it. Maybe I'm old and things from 10-20 years ago seem recent. Apple deciding to stick a terminal in OSX 20 years ago (a lot of people didn't expect them to include one) helped with the boom of Silicon Valley engineers choosing Apple laptops. PowerShell, first released only 10 years ago by Microsoft with major versions being released every couple years, shows they feel there's a need for investing in Terminals. Windows Subsystem for Linux was first released 2 years ago. While it's technically just compatibility with Linux binaries, I've only seen it being used via a terminal.

You're right, with more and more computer users added every day, as a percentage command line users have probably been shrinking for a long time. But I would also expect in raw numbers they're probably still growing.
Lower maintenance requirements and costs.
I started down this road several months ago, and decided to write my own system that can grow and change as I discover how I want to organize things. It's roughly modeled off of a traditional categorized card-catalog system, with the addition of zettelkasten-style numbered links. As a concrete example, here's a card that I added today:

That would be kinda fun as a project. Buy a tesla battery/motor from a salvage, and put it into a miata or other kit car.
Yes.

The spec includes cryptographic signatures for the whole signal chain for "authenticity".

Depends.

It's enough for some people to live on, not me though, I'd prefer to spend more.
Not really want to defend the algorithms here,(I also don't know what videos exactly show up as I am not so into it) but fail videos can be funny. Humor is a sign of intelligence. I would not declare it to be the bottom if it ...

For it to work, your brain needs to recognize the activity and how it is supposed to work the proper way, so you can laugh about the wrong way done. And also learn about how to not do it like this. And simply relax and let go. Needed for the brain from time to time

(but like I said, I also have not seen those videos in a while.. and I like hikes in wild nature for relaxation)
Not if the car lobby can help it. Think of the jobs!

Case in point: E-Bikes in Germany. You can either buy an e-assist bike that is allowed on bike paths and doesn't cost tax. Those are limited to 200W and 25km/h. That means you still impede traffic in 30km/h zones where people typically drive 35-40. Or you can spend more and get an S-Pedelec. That costs tax, isn't allowed on bike paths, and needs a driver's license. It can go 45km/h, meaning that you still impede traffic on normal 50km/h streets where people usually drive 55-60. All other electric vehicles, scooters, longboards and the like are either illegal or limited to slow speeds (12km/h I think?).

To me it seems fairly obvious to me that these regulations were made to prevent competition with cars. The rules for S-Pedelecs are the same as for small motorcycles, the previous big competitor to cars in cities.
It is indeed a metric, but it's never once been a metric that I've used when considering github projects.

To me, important metrics are:

1. Project maintenance -- when were the last commits and how important were they?

2. Issue tracking -- how active are the maintainers in covering issues?

3. Actual code/test quality

As far as stars go, I've only ever looked at them as the number of people who decided to "like" something, but that's never a factor in my consideration since I don't know when or why they did it, whereas the other three things I listed are much, much more direct ways of viewing the overall "health" and usefulness of a project.

My perspective is apparently an unusual one, though, which is why I wanted to ask and make sure I was understanding the linked article properly.
I think for IF you'd want to be fat-adapted/low-carb. I don't know what IF practitioners recommend in general, but I don't think feeling hungry all day is 'doing it right'.
Right-now benefits: Dirt cheap to charge (especially in countries where fossil fuel isn't subsidised). Cheaper taxes in several countries. Not contributing tons of CO2 and various toxins to the environment every year. Less dependency on a secondary energy distribution network.

Possible benefits: Simpler engines should lead to lower production costs, more reliability and simpler, cheaper repairs.
It has just occurred to me that this centralized vs federated/decentralized discussion is similar to the monolith vs micro-services discussion.

Centralized/monolith means everyone follows the same rule regardless of they like it or not, and there's single point of failure.

Federated/decentralized/micro-services means every federation/team is free to have their own rules as long as they have consistent API contracts with other nodes/services. But it's harder to have consistent quality control process as the effort is distributed.

If you see it from this angle, it might be easier to analyze and understand pros and cons of each approach. Maybe people who like monolith will also like centralized services?
> I didn't have 3G, GPS or App Store (nor a couple of other things)

I bought the first iphone on the day it came out and I believe most phones did not have 3G at the time, almost all didn't have GPS (no real use case as navigation apps didn't really exist for phones), and most just had crappy App Stores.

> iPhone first came out it wasn't very good

Unequivocally false! It did everything a normal phone did fine. However, it did something no other phone came close to offering and it singly handley made it the best mobile device. It had an astoundingly intuitive and fast UX for browsing the web combined with an unlimited data plan. That's why I convinced my parents to drive me to the apple store so I could buy it despite the high price (they had to reduce the price by 200$ soon after because it was so freaking high (400-500$ for a phone in 2007)). The phone and app stuff was all moot. I wanted to be able to browse the web just as well as I did on a computer anywhere and everywhere and the iphone was what completely revolutionized that.
I very much experienced this not knowing what's good as a beginner. It was only after taking my first and only CS class that I found direction and made a road map for concepts. Since then, I have taught myself much more than that class delivered. Before, I was able to teach myself but there was no sense of understanding what information was useful, as you described. It gave me the necessary boost to get started.
When I used Alpine, it was talking to IMAP and definitely segfaulted a couple times. But an RCE in Alpine != RCE in Postfix (great architecture). I dunno MUAs are so personal, they feel like a perfect place to target and handle more edge cases than upstream processes.
CodeWorld: Educational computer programming environment using Haskell
The author isn't wrong. You need to learn OTP to know that you don't need it (at least in the very beginning).

When I was learning Phoenix, I spent a substantial amount of time learning Elixir as well and OTP is one of the first few things they put in front of you. Don't get me wrong, I loved learning about it personally, but I am not surprised that a lot of people would consider it too much effort.
Is this supposed to be "better" than company ones? I don't see much improvement to be honest.
Annecdata: all the houses I personally know of in the south bay (North California, USA) area have three phase power, and the oldest was built in the 1940es.

Charging a Model S from a 110V 20A outlet is very slow and probably not a very useful option (but I have done it on a visit to LA).
You know, there's even a text mode display manager for X. I forget the name, but it's on GitHub.
At this point, I think Flow clearly has a minority mindshare & is looked at more skeptically all around the JS ecosystem, and maybe even the React ecosystem based on what I see talked around. TS does a much better job integrating with existing JS and is much more practical about incremental updates whereas Flow bleeds all too easily into needing to add typing to a significant amount of code in order to add a type.

That's not to say that either TypeScript or Flow are perfect - they both are constraining with typing when it comes to composing functions last I checked.
You think? I've spent a few days memorizing the script to the point where I can read roughly like a grade schooler (I don't see words yet, just letters). Slowly working through Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" [1] and I'm surprised. It's not a substantial problem.

The only place where I struggle with this is a few of the vowels, particularly around A sounds. That's because they're all short glyphs.

A much bigger obstacle is that I don't actually know how to spell most words phonetically. I've always had an excellent memory for characters, so I pretty much learned to read by memorizing whole words. So when I go to write a word like "today" and I struggle to choose between "𐑑𐑵𐑛𐑱" and something silly like "𐑑𐑵𐑛𐑧𐑘" (because there is supposed to be a Y there dangit!).

> Unlike the things that came before, you could rely on Gmail's filtering. You didn't have to sort your spam folder ever.

Was this ever true? It's certainly not true now. Gmail correctly filters almost all spam I receive. And, it also incorrectly filters a healthy amount of legitimate mail, so you still have to check your spam folder. It will even filter mail from Google.
When I set up my personal gmail with Mutt, I used the following guides, if you're interested. None of them are perfect, so I did what most people do and took bits and bobs from all of them:

Can you point to any good sources for this? A search for 'edge identification stocks' yielded mostly irrelevant results.
The solar doesn't necessarily have to be ON the ship. If photovoltaics continue their process of price drop in STC $/W ratio, or if at some point very high efficiency low cost nuclear becomes economical, it will be possible to crack hydrogen from sea water at a shore based facility and compress it into tanks. Then use that to power massive fuel cells on ships with fully electric azipod drives.

If your $ per kWh is something ridiculously low like $0.002 you can economically electrolyze h2o to pure hydrogen.

The surface area of the ship, don't care about that. A 20x20km area of the Mojave desert covered in super low cost PV can provide the power needed.

This is the same economy of scale thing as a solar powered car. If you were to theoretically cover every square cm of a Tesla model S in high efficiency PV, and let it sit in the sun all day, it might take a week or more to collect the 95kWh needed to charge it fully. But if the PV is somewhere else on rooftops or otherwise-useless arid land, connected to the grid, you can plug your car in to a 240V 30A socket in your garage and charge it every day.
Is that not just a forum? phpBB has been around for a while.
It's like being a chef but not wanting to eat the food you cook.

For example, a lot of people want their salmon cooked extremely well done, when you as the chef, think this is wrong, but this is what the customer wants, so you do it anyway, but you no longer care about it.
How is this different from simply reducing the tire pressure?

Your body weight is constantly pressing down the rotating axis from the center of the wheel so in order to move forward you'll be spending energy on compressing the next section of the wheel equally much? Even if you get some of that energy back once the rear section of the wheel decompresses it's never going to be 100%.

It might have some benefits compared to a loosely inflated tire in terms of more parameters to calibrate and less road friction but this will never come close to a suspension locked in the vertical direction on the frame in terms of efficiency. Maybe this is not an important factor for wheel chairs?

Edit: Actually the softwheel has an efficiency comparison which claims it's more efficient than both rigid frame and fork suspension, even on flat ground http://softwheel.technology/technology/#softwheel-science-wo..., maybe if you bike fast enough the wheel never has time to compress so it's still considered round and center?
Google does not have a very good spam filter, it's pretty average.
Seconded. I don’t see anything bad with typescript itself, but naive but passionate usage of perceived silver bullets tends to create terrible things. there are many terrible coffeescript/backbone codebases, overwrought usage of redux, etc...

Many of such overcomicated systems come from trying to use the latest coolest thing without thinking about if it improved anything. the tools were never used correctly and the person just moved on, marking JS as a shitty language with a shitty ecosystem.

When there’s always something new on the horizon it’s too easy to assume the previous difficulty was because of the old tool vs taking the time to just learn the tool.

There are many developers who don’t really understand MVC for example and so much pain comes from trying to ham fist a jquery mentality into one.
What TS version are you on? The error messages are definitely one of the weak points, but they've been massively improved for many cases in 3.0.

FWIW I use Typescript with React, have had very few bad experiences(but not zero) and I'm never going back.
I think they are working on that though.

Since they tweaked the CMD for the Linux subsystem
whats kinda usefull is to let the shadow banned all talk to each other, so they can keep each other company, it seems less likely they will realize the gig is up and try to make another sock puppet...

At my previous job, my boss was an EV enthusiast and installed four chargers (at a time where only one person had an EV). I charged for free for six years and when I left there were ~ 8 EVs competing for the spots. I know for a fact that our chargers was a factor in purchase of some of those.
This screams like a startup idea you should pursue. I would buy the service.
TypeScript has structural (not nominal) typing, which makes it very different from Java/C# in practice.

Also, it doesn't fix shitty code. It just lets the compiler warn you when you're either making a mistake or misunderstanding some other part of your code base.

You should really try it before you say it doesn't help.
So after seeing this story I decided to learn basic Shavian and, about 4 days in, I can read like a 3rd grader. I thought this might be a problem for Shavian, as well, but after experiencing it; it's really not.

Go check out something like a copy of Dune (https://shavian.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/2/1/10212142/dune_fir...) and turn it on its side (or even flip it over). It's not really an issue to immediately recognize what the right way up is. If nothing else, a single proper noun will give the entire game up.

It's not like Shavian is unique in that different orientations of the text can resemble proper letterforms. Many scripts have that and they're just fine.
Maybe I haven't used datalog enough, but the convention of lowercase data, uppercase-starting Variable strikes me as limiting.
It’s weird to see complaints about code generation causing a too big code base at compile time when code generation is exactly what a compiler will do behind the scenes for generics.
I find it astonishing that anyone still believes Wil Wheaton is a respectable and sincere person who deserves to be taken seriously.
To Flow's credit, their language server does provide IDE features:

I still have found TypeScript to be an overall more pleasant developer experience, though.
Eh. Better to clamp the workpiece to something rigid. Much better to have steel pattern routers with templates and making new ones is loads quicker than programming. CNC is for toolpathing not rudimentary work humans would be better at
How to become an expert in anything
We had one of these in Bryan Jones' laboratory in the Chemistry Department at the University of Toronto. We also had the 3D polarized shutter-based glasses as well - it was cool to see small molecules docking into active sites of enzymes right in front of your face. Of course, none of that stuff amounted to anything, and in hindsight it was a gigantic waste of money.

In my lab, we only had one of the SGI Indy machines - it was fun surfing the web on the original NCSA Mosaic browser on that pizza box machine.
AND, that used battery is highly valuable still (useful for power walls). That line of argument is pure unconcealed FUD.
You don't specifically say one way or the other, but your phrasing made me curious: Would you assert that big tech companies do treat the red team fairly? I don't know how many people will reply, but if you are reading this, I would also like to know your answer to this question. I have been a social outsider my entire life, and while it's been tough in almost every conceivable fashion, it does let me see the forest of American politics for the trees with respect to both the blue team and the red team. And I assert that big tech companies in fact do treat red-teamers "unfairly" (for a value of "unfair" which is not limited to right-wing fringe elements). Please note however that I assert nothing about causality, only that it is so.
We need more battery manufacturing capacity before that can happen.
The Indian government has a long and well documented track record of cluelessly attempting to censor and regulate the global internet, to serve domestic special interests and religious fundamentalists and right wingers.
