In the US, building of new roads has not kept up with population increases (in part because there's no place to put new roads). Even the smallest towns tend to have delays and grid lock at rush hour, and that's only part of the population. The speed of the fires also requires a greater evacuation speed. A bicycle would probably be faster than a car given the capacity of the roads.
Vim digraph feature (ctrl-k) is very convenient for this. Digraphs are two-character mnemonics for symbols. They tend to be easy to remember and they are standardized in RFC 1345 [1].

Greek letters are always a latin letter followed by an asterisk. Arrows and comparison operators are what one would guess. Mathematical symbols generally make some sense:

<C-k> a * α
<C-k> F * Φ

<C-k> = > ⇒
<C-k> - > →
<C-k> > = ≥

<C-k> 0 0 ∞
<C-k> d P ∂
<C-k> I n ∫

Usually, VCS commands makes some sense (i.e. commit commits), which isn't always the case with Git.
THere are only two version control systems where I ever needed to use commands, rather than being able to do what I need in GUI -- SVN (because it is crap and would corrupt repository all the time, and then you needed to fix it up by hand) and Git, because... well, because Git.

Wow - this is a totally different approach than crystalline silicon, and could be much cheaper to produce as well as more efficient. Something new is going to be required to do much better than 35% efficiency, as you can only do so much lining up the band-gap of semiconductors.

On another note, it's nice to see that crystalline silicon PV is perceived to be so successful that people are lining up to comment on how a dramatic improvement in power density and cost wouldn't really matter.
Im not seeing much correlation between these two companies besides industry. FB is getting bad press sure, but this is nothing like the beginning of Yahoo's downfall, which started with its cluster-F of a homepage and lack of grit or sense of cool in literally any of its products, and ended with super shit management. Yahoo made complicated the tech that needed to be simple. FB has entirely different problems, one could argue they are good problems to have and that bad press is better than no press at all.

Why on earth would you not want to pay a better qualified teacher more? You must think that teaching is easy because the math is not complicated, yet most of the people who say this would loathe the idea of teaching for a living.
The best jobs come when you have an in. Someone refers you, someone you know is a manager inside, etc.

You get ins by building your network. Meet people, talk to them, make what you do public. This can be easier in a big city.

But, if you aren't in a big city, one strategy: find a Slack channel for a big city nearish to you and hang out in there. Get to know people. Demonstrate competence.

The Chicago Tech Slack is a great example of a place that would be great for this.

Jobs are posted all the time in there. There's a guy in there who does job placement services and I got added to his rolodex just by existing inside of the Slack.

Another option: participate in Hacker News. I got one job by saying "Yeah I spent a year traveling and doing remote Django work." To which someone responded "Are you still interested in doing remote Django work? I need someone."

Finding work is "all luck", but increasing your "luck surface area" by exposing yourself to more serendipitous events can systematize that "all luck".
Well you also need to solve the storage problem. Your solar plant will not replace the coal or natural gas plant at night or on cloudy days.
There are quite a few areas where Amp diverges from Vim; minimal configuration is just one of those. It's inspired by Vim, but it's not a clone. Yes, it's modal, and yes it's a TUI app, but there's much more to these editors than that.

That said, I think it's pretty clear one of the first things I need to add to the website is an answer to "why would I use this instead of Vim"?

Lets get real here, its partially a chicken and egg problem, but the population and density has to be there to support such a dense and useful train system. Parts of my city (Chicago) support the kind of rail stations he talks about. Some parts do not as the density here varies greatly but generally speaking...

Tokyo has nearly 10 million people in about 1000 square miles of land

Chicago has nearly 3 million people in about 10000 square miles of land

Tokyo probably has at least 5 metropolitan cities of greater than 1 million people within 600 miles.

Chicago has none, New York is about 730 miles away.

Clearly a world of difference in the sort of density and distances that just don't necessarily support the same kind of rail system.

Even then parts of Chicago closely match his experience in Tokyo, though certainly not to the same quantity and quality.

A picture of a far north chicago L stop I lived near at one point in my life, right near the end of the line.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Morse/@42.0082879,-87.6681...

Nearly every stop along that train route is in the center of a neighborhood at least going north.

Where Chicago screwed up was putting L stops in the middle of freeways rather than in the center of neighborhoods for certain sections and lines. It honestly makes those areas feel like the heart of the neighborhood has been cut out of it, there is no central spot where people have a reason to be. And who really wants to live right next to a 12/8/6 lane free way? No one, and certainly that's where Chicago neighborhoods no longer feel like the cozy place where people hang out, eat, drink, and catch their ride into work.
If it's just the phone as a portable for use in the go, then lugging a keyboard, monitor, maybe storage, etc would be a hassle vs a nice laptop. If it's the phone used in a docking station, why not use a more powerful desktop plus some cloud syncing for files?
Zora, the Robot Caregiver
Well, I've settled down on the iOS text editor hype train, which helps a lot with this, admittedly. :) I tend to write in Ulysses or Scrivener, both of which sync between all my devices (the former transparently, the latter...not, but that's not an iOS issue, as near as I can tell). The other alternative is just a designated Dropbox folder that iOS apps are told to point to; from a user standpoint this reduces a lot of these issues.

In theory, apps don't have to have the problem you mentioned, as there's an "open file in place" API for them to use (and even an "open directory in place" API) which avoids all the document shuffling. Unfortunately, a lot of apps don't seem to really support it particularly well. And I'd still prefer the apparently crazy, radical idea of having a shared Documents folder.
cooool!

I don't find that the military information was valuable, it could've easily been left out, and the veteran question the author posed could have still been asked if it were rephrased.
yup just like the mindless npc sheep that listen to that garbage.
If you double efficiency you halve the size, roughly halving the installation, scaffolding, & etc. costs you mention.

Also those 40-46% efficient cells are expensive, requiring 3 different layers of semiconductors each tuned to a different band-gap. The panels we all buy for ~$1/watt are about 20% efficient, single-layer designs.
Because herd immunity requires X% of the population to be immunised, and anti-vaccination parents bring the number of vaccinated children below X%.
I only wish we'd have less ~toxic PV cells production. So far silicon requires CO2 and chlor- compounds.

Anyone with 20%~ efficiency and a clean manufacturing process is rich for the next millenium.
Which is yet another reason to migrate to IPv6, which doesn’t require stateful NAT.

Flutter is compiled to native ARM code, and as such doesn't allow this functionality. This exact limitation is mentioned in the article.
OS inflexibity and lock-down, lack of ports, and heat dissipation for sustained CPU load are probably the big three. Low RAM and storage are also factors for many desktop use cases.

It's really cars vs trucks. A phone is a car. A desktop is a truck. A workstation is a big truck / semi. Convergence between niches tends to result in something that is good for neither, like a car/truck that can neither seat many passengers nor haul big loads.

How could you possibly come to that conclusion?

> The military is known for being a bastion of sexism, but I had a worse experience at Amazon.

> . . . the managers do not get any sort of break or lunch. Most of us just never ate. Everyone is on their feet for 12 hours a day.

> Associates got a 30-minute lunch break, two 15-minute breaks, and an additional 15 minutes of “time off tasks.”

Working 12 hours per day with a total of only 1 hour of break time, split into three smaller breaks – and all tracked to the minute? And no lunch for managers?

> The associates work 10 hours a day, the managers 14 to 18. It’s mandatory overtime, the hours are not voluntary, and they are all on your feet.

Do you really think this is acceptable?

To be honest, I'm quite sick of the general attitude on HN towards Amazon. I get that it's convenient and usually cheaper than its competitors. But let's not pretend that the way they do business is morally acceptable. It isn't.

This is absurd. Instead of trying to convince yourselves that it's Not That Bad, why not vote with your dollars and support businesses that treat their employees better? From what I can tell, most people reading HN have the means to do so.

(Edited to better follow HN guidelines.)
I dunno. Most of the windows laptops I've used all had mediocre touchpads, so if I was going to do some serious amount of work on them, always used the mouse. But for my MBPs, the thought never even occurs to me, the touchpad does the job quite well.

Sorry, no, I don't think so. Not when you place people within an economic system/environment that's designed to take advantage of their natural weaknesses. Yes, if Tom and Kate had been smarter and/or more disciplined they would have been okay. But it's not reasonable to expect the majority of people to be able to outsmart the system, when the system is designed to outsmart the average person.

These sorts of deceptions are endemic to a capitalist system, need to be curbed somehow or things will go off the rails, as they pretty much have in U.S. economy.
Capitalism has failed.
It's a gross, misguided oversimplification to indict "capitalism" in the fate of these (possibly real) people. Does personal responsibility no longer enter the lexicon of our progressive culture? No, it must be someone else's fault. No, scratch that, it must be the system's fault!

Of course, at its worst, "capitalism" can become exploitative of people's desires, obsessions, and addictions. But with just a little cognitive effort, it's easy enough to see through these tactics. I mean, "Tom" has a graduate degree in advertising, ffs.

If you are basing this on the PSID report they are only counting household chores typically done by women, so their numbers can't be trusted [1] and are heavily politicised by people seeking to further a particular ideology through using statistics that intentionally misrepresent the world:

"Housework was defined as “core chores,” or routine housework that people generally do not enjoy doing such as washing dishes, laundry, vacuuming floors and dusting … Routine housework, like cooking dinner or making beds, was captured … . Other activities such as home repairs, mowing the lawn, and shoveling snow were not in the study. Items such as gardening are usually viewed as more enjoyable; the focus here is on core housework."

Also, in addition to the chores that are not counted men tend to sacrifice at a higher rate in other ways to provide for the family. They have longer commutes and more frequently work away from home [2], and on average work longer hours when working fulltime [3]. Women also more frequently work part-time with a man supporting the family doing the sacrifices mentioned here [4].

We are happy to do all of this, but the deal is that one partner don't get to discount what the other do and then talk bad about how we all contribute to the whole based upon this misrepresentation.

The American fascination with single use zoning is so counterproductive. If commercial doesn't work, just put housing next to it! Or build the housing first, or something. Pair with a tax designed to disincentivize land squatting.

Watch out, there is a bit of cargo cult there. Particularly around the operations preparing the data for the FFT.

The C part is rather straightforward. The pinning is helpful, but not really needed. The MTRR was a dead end (but I left the code since it is fascinating). ASLR is kinda needed since it destroys determinism between runs.

With all these tricks I still struggle to get the code running on Kaby Lake. It seems more stable on older CPU generations.
It is worth to point out that the CPUs have much more pronounced hiccups like SMIs (system management interrupts) on Intel ones. These can be turned off at the cost of making the server able to actually overheat (SMIs are for example used to check if the CPU is on fire).

You're right, I believe. I don't have time to investigate, but if the claim is 90% efficiency w.r.t. total radiation input, it's certainly wrong. Doing so would violate the 2nd law. For example, room temperature thermal radiation has significant emmitance in the radio range of the spectrum. Needless to say nobody can build radio antennas to turn this energy into work.

If it is 90% of the thermodynamic limit, then maybe. But then I think multijunction cells are already significantly close to the thermodynamic limit (much better than 22% claimed).

Historically desktop computing has been about giving people a tool they can use to control the environment, whereas the smart phone is a tool that brands use to control you.

The mindset gap between those two things is much larger than the technical gap.

As for technical issues the devil is in the details. Often my hackathon kit has been a cheap android device with wireless keyboard and mouse. With an a ssh terminal and something like an RDP or VNC client you can do all kinds of software development. In fact many firms (e.g. the Bridgewater hedge fund) like to centralize people's desktop environment and if you do that a tablet is an option.

My understanding is that iOS devices don't support the mouse, which I don't get because mouse support "just works" on Android.

People expect a different software environment on the desktop as opposed to mobile. For instance, Windows can run on a tablet environment but it has a hard time being competitive because the Windows operating system is much larger than other mobile OSes.

It may be true that "Windows is bloated" but more to the point, Windows has more features than Android or iOS. For instance there is Hyper-V virtualization, Windows Subsystem for Linux, and Microsoft IIS. Most people wouldn't care about those things but some of us do and you wouldn't have "it runs as Windows" as a selling point if they hacked away a lot of functionality.

As for Apple, they have very profitable product lines in both the iPhone and the Mac. When you are expected to make money hand-over-fist the way that they are, they are not going to take the chance of raising the average selling price of a phone from $800 to $1200 by merging in "laptop" features and then lose to opportunity to sell you a $800 mac mini and a $1800 macbook.
