Pollens tend to be very seasonal so it could be a specific type of pollen outside, or it could be due to an inadequately ventilated or insulated (and very hot) attic pushing stuff into the rest of the house during the summer months.

If you have lived in the same town for over five years without any issues then it probably is not pollen. In which case if you own the house then you can have someone check the attic ventilation, and schedule the hvac system to be cleaned out or replaced. If you rent then just plan on moving within a year.

I started using NCSA Mosaic in the computer lab at college in 1994. It was a very different world online back then, there was so much potential and so much hope. Even so it was hard to imagine the degree to which the internet and especially the web would become an omnipresent part of the lives of most people in the developed world, for good and bad. Certainly the idea that there would be billions of pocket computers might as well have been science fiction.

I still don't understand your point. The GPL provides none of the protections you are asking for, since I am free to post my code wherever I see fit. Are you asking for protections as to where I am legally allowed to host my code?
This is the awful irony of a lot of these farm robots. Like the pollination robots, for example. Maybe I'm just being shortsighted, but it seems like we already have pollination robots, called bees. Native bees don't even require a hive or beekeeper.

But, apparently, it would appear "not using neonicotinoids" is a lot harder than "designing & manufacturing millions & millions of tiny robot bees"

I too dragged myself up the seemingly insurmountable learning curve that was gEDA about a decade ago and used it exclusively for many years. I poked around in KiCad every now and then and didn't think much of it either.

Since the changes that CERN made, KiCad is a completely new tool. It is now my tool of choice, and unless gEDA gets a similarly drastic revamp, I'm probably never going back.
I think Apple's processors support virtualization already. I'm not sure, though.

It always takes a few decades for UIs to catch up with new hardware. We still don't really understand how to design touch UIs yet. We basically just squish WIMP interfaces a little so you can fat finger them. There has been no radical reimaging of UI toolkits for touch yet.

The software industry is so crippled by finance thinking right now anyway, everything research-y moves extra slow anyway. We're in the second dark age of UI.

People are doing weird pointless stuff in VR UI right now, so I think that might be where the ideas get worked out. That's how it worked before, we got out of the WIMP stagnation because a whole new paradigm (hypertext) emerged.
Art museums are very pleasant places to be, and create an aura of sacredness that is never going to exist on my living room couch.

This may displace museum visits by people who need to look at paintings for utilitarian purposes (research, homework) but if anything, finding a great painting here will only want to make me go the museum more.

Forget having the ability of being able to constantly get chunks of my time focused on deep work, I am having trouble focusing for more than 15 to 30 mins on even trivial stuff like watching a video or reading an article. I can barely get through 15mins of anything before my mind seems to wander off. No wonder it takes me a couple of days to finish a movie. I gave up on even the thought of going to an actual movie theater. I constantly have to pause and come back to whatever I am watching/ doing.

I had ADHD as a kid, it gradually seemed to have gone away over the years, it's been a while since I've taken any sort of meds. But lately, for the past year or two, I've been struggling with this. I need to change my lifestyle a bit, take up some meditation, or maybe even go to the doc again. Or a combination of all. It's just frustrating.
> Because human behavior is not scale invariant

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by scale invariant, but there are many ways in which history repeats itself.

Other than that I can recommend talks of Hans Rosling, who gives an entirely different picture of the world backed by data.
What you've described is how it used to be, maybe you gets few seconds of usage over the TDP, but then the processor throttles back to hit the spec. That can still happen (and often does in laptops etc), but as described in the article, and many others, many to most motherboards sold as individual components are configuring the chips so that they will run at a higher power state for an indefinite time, so long as the temperatures stay within operating limits.

It would be nice to know what the expected power input / heat output is in that state, so you can get cooling to match, and have it in turbo mode at all times when the CPU is being stressed.

Cooling to the TDP only will (or should) get you the base clocks and a brief amount of turbo, but is likely to thermal throttle quickly.

This also brings more into question the adequeacy or not of the thermal interface material used between the CPU die and the heatspreader -- if the CPU will run turbo for longer if you keep it cooler, there's more frustration about less heat efficient solutions.
Well, everyone is a number somewhere on a spreadsheet. Call me cynical, but I have long given up on the notion of company loyalty etc. Looking back at my bright-eyed idealism coming out of college, makes me laugh.
Holberton is not a bootcamp, it’s a 2-year engineering school. I’ve worked with alumni and they were excellent entry-level developers, they learn fast and work great in teams.

Bottom line, it’s a solid school and I recommend it.

I wouldn’t read too much into the tone-deaf positive comments from karmaless accounts in this thread. I think it’s just Holberton students eager to defend their school, and creating their first hn account for the occasion. To me it comes across as clumsy, but sincere.
I actually didn’t look hard enough: there is a proposal[0] for something that could be called ‘BigDecimal’ in ECMAScript, but it’s a stage 0 proposal[1].

Thiel has liquidated nearly all of his FB stock. He appears to own a mere ~$8.7m worth of shares, basically a token sum likely retained because he's on the board.

Nov 2017: "Thiel, who is a member of Facebook’s board had already sold more than $1 billion worth of its stock before the filing made on Tuesday. It said he had sold another 160,805 shares for about $29 million, leaving his holdings at 59,913 Class A shares in the company"

I absolutely prefer to have a larger external screen, too. But if I'm traveling, and the choice is between my 13 inch Macbook Pro, or the 12.9 inch iPad Pro, I usually choose the iPad.

What material(s) are you printing the gearboxes out of currently? Nylon would give you a lot better longevity than most other thermoplastics, especially if you can SLS instead of FDM. It also looks like you're using straight cut gears in the current CAD files - you might want to try switching to a helical gear system if possible to increase torque and decrease wear.
Yes, but there's probably less loss & spoilage in the supply chain for canned/frozen/dried/etc.
I don't know, I clicked the Quillette link[1] in this HN comment[2] and there's over a dozen anti-semitic comments.

A couple of commenters even went out of their way to write coherently-worded, but disgusting, multi-paragraph anti-semitic rants.

I've seen comments like that on Stormfront or, recently, the comments section on Fox News articles.

However the dozens of social media groups, mailing lists and forums I'm a member of don't seem to have a problem with anti-semitic conspiracy theories littering their pages. Most of them are academic, tech or humor related and are far from a 'left wing internet bubble' you want to pigeonhole me as being stuck in.

What is it about Quillette that attracts such anti-semitic commenters? Is it just something about the article?

By failed I mean h2 did not fulfill its design goal and technical potential.

Most sites use h2 by just wrapping http/1.0 behind some h2-enabled CDN or upgrade to latest nginx and call it done.

I mean gRPC utilized more h2 features than most h2 browsers/CDN do.
The true-crime podcast Casefile recently released a three-part story on Jonestown.

I've watched a few documentaries and read a few articles about Jonestown, but the Casefile story was by far the best I've come across, because it's the first that properly conveys that the event was really not a mass suicide, but rather a mass murder for the vast majority of victims.

That was Netscape's story at the time when they were being sued for copyright infringement, but it was fairly obvious that there was a certain amount of code copying. There were error messages with the same misspellings in them... Anyhow Netscape decided to settle the lawsuit and give UI the Netscape stock. Interestingly UI then licensed Mosaic to a company called Spyglass, and that version went on to become Internet Explorer 1.0.

When everything works, GCP is the best. Stable, fast, simple, reliable.

When things stop working, GCP is the worst. Slow communications and they require way too much work before escalating issues or attempting to find a solution.

They already have the tools and access so most issues should take minutes for them to gather diagnostics, but instead they keep sending tickets back for "more info", inevitably followed by a hand-off to another team in a different time zone. We have spent days trying to convince them there was an issue before, which just seems unacceptable.

I can understand support costs but there should be a test (with all vendors) where I can officially certify that I know what I'm talking about and don't need to go through the "prove its actually a problem" phase every time.

From all the S-1s I have read, this seems like a typical disclaimer. More than anything is a guidance on the use of OSS and the risk that comes from using non-propietary technology (which includes releasing software written on top of the questioned technology). The way I see it, it's more of an indication on potential future litigation (e.g: Google vs Oracle), not so much of the cost of re-writing software, although I'm sure this is included because it seems like the reasonable thing to do if you're using software with a license that is potentially harmful to your business' economic interests.

This is why companies care about OSS licenses and sudden changes in those licenses. It's not out of pettiness. Automattic dropped React just for this very reason.

Talking with a friend, we believe QUIC itself could be reconceptualized into multiple layers without changing the wire format:

1. Connection management
1.1. Initial handshake allows arbitrary layer above initial handshake in same packet as body
1.2. Subsequent packets have connection identifier.

2. Encryption. The SSL bits.

3. Multiplexing and Congestion control.

So in essence the trick of QUIC is not collapsing layers, but splitting TCP into connection management and congestion control and moving SSL in the middle.

So why wasn't this proposed? I hope not because people are too "practical" to care about layering and abstraction anymore!
Thanks a bunch for the reply! Puts my mind at ease. I've always been obsessive about not getting scratches in the non-stick coating because I heard it was pretty bad for your health. I'll keep it up
What happened to QUIC as a non-HTTP-specific layer that any protocol could use? Even the QUIC Wikipedia page has been changed to a HTTP/3 page.

For audio at least, it uses a bunch of recordings (as mp3) and combines them in different ways.

Example (it's using an IP for some reason): http://142.44.247.245/sounds/rain/rainbest160.mp3

Not sure what the license is for the sound, so can't say whether it's free or not.

For playback it's using jplayer, which is open source: http://jplayer.org (I'm surprised their site doesn't list support for Opus).

Ask HN: Why don't people talk about programming by example?
I've been searching for the future of programming for a while, and just recently discovered "programming by example". Basically, you specify your program by giving examples of inputs and outputs, and the reasoning engine does the rest. It's already implemented in Excel as a feature called "Flash Fill".

Why are people still debating syntax when programming by example is clearly the future? Why don't more people talk about this?

Well, the D-Wave quantum computer seems to be functionally an analogue machine, so while you're limited to some variety of floating point precision when specifying the values for qubit and connection bias, it's certainly not 0 and 1 when it hits the hardware.

Gitlab supports push rules that prevent you from pushing on-signed stuff to the repo (which I’m using, and while gitlab is good at this; it’s very easy to accidentally not sign a bunch of commits and have to amend a bunch- which I’m mostly too stupid to do)

I mean. Isn’t the whole point that you only sign your own stuff? Inevitable on merge, sure. But on merge the stuff is all ready at the origin. No?

Yes it is natural to learn from history.

This is why it is called school and has been happening for hundreds of thousands years to say the least.
