I doubt anybody really knows.

It is well known that CO2 improves plants growth. It is also well known that plants grow better within a narrow band of temperatures.

Increasing both the CO2 contents of the atmosphere and Earth's temperature will have some complex results where on the places within that temperature band, plants grow slightly faster, on places that cross from too cold into the band plants grow much faster, and on places that cross from that band into too hot plants will grow much slower.

Also, solar incidence has a much larger effect than CO2 concentration, so the places with best growth rate can only cross into the too hot region, and polar places crossing into the good temperatures can't really compensate (besides, there isn't much area at the polar regions, unless you are talking about the hole Antarctic getting green).

And, anyway, water availability has a much larger effect than solar incidence, and this one is completely chaotic. So, good luck getting any conclusion.
Yes, but most people know they aren't good, so they carry the burden of guilt plus terror of the afterlife.
Thing is, unless industry are on the hook at both ends, they are incentivised to discourage, find ways around, or market against it.

So I'd prefer manufacturers responsible for every last cent of running a full-scale return and reuse programme. If that makes fizzy drinks more expensive, well, I'm not sure that's a bad thing either. Externalities are what started us on the way to this mess in the first place.
Each chain is different, I don’t think they all evolve the same way. And I think the flavours do settle, or rather each family’s heirloom is one evolutionary pathway.

There’s other examples in cheese (the flavour of a small batch maker) or beer as well, I think.
>There's a reason why the United States is such a violent country, and one of the most violent where law & order haven't broken down.

The big problem I see is the easy availability of guns, which has turned into an arms race of sorts. So victims (such as for carjacking, the subject here) have very good reason to fear that attackers are armed with deadly weapons, and so many people want to carry guns themselves to defend against this, and so the criminals carry guns too.

In other developed nations, there's generally no easy access to guns, so a victim doesn't have such a large reason to fear for their life. The worst thing they have to worry about is usually being stabbed with a knife, which is generally much more survivable. So these countries generally have much less deadly crime, though they have more petty street crime (pickpocketing or purse-grabbing for instance).

Countries where they have more violent crime like Mexico, El Salvador, etc. are ones where law and order really have broken down, and these aren't "developed nations" either; poverty and crime are both rampant there.

Thinking back, there was a noticable difference between the computers I "played" with and those I treated more carefully: whether they had persistent storage (HD) containing reasonably important data.

Without persistent storage, it was quite liberating to know that I couldn't really "break" things, since the default state would be restored by a reboot.

Maybe it's an advantage for a learning machine to have the system/OS be read-only (maybe with a physical switch to allow writes) and have data saved to removable media (e.g. microSD)? There's no way to mess up someone's data if it's kept outside the machine.

None of our old software that was build to last has security issues.

I know it’s harder to build with security in mind in the modern connected world, but we have a Django app that hasn’t needed anything but security updates that runs perfectly fine as an example of a web-app that doesn’t need much development time post implementation. So it’s not like it’s impossible either.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve been as guilty of “wow this new tech is cool” as anyone else, which is where the lessons come from.
Yes, the building quality is shockingly low and the majority of people accepts that.
Ask HN: How do you expand skills of junior developers in your team?
Hey. I do i have junior developer in my team who is not expanding his skills... at least he seems to struggle with the same and basic channeges in JavaScript all the time. He is not finishing tasks in reasonable timeframe. He seems to be bored with basic and easier tasks, he wants to work on bigger chalenges. However, i cannot let him work on task for 3 days which could be finished by senior developer in 1 day max. Still i want to keep his happy.
I am sending him a lot of related articles which should help him, answering every question he has but he is not making any progress.... What would you do?

Thanks for your tips in advance.

Looking at the code, I believe because fd uses a loop, and ff uses function recursion to walk the path tree. Function recursion is easier to write, but definitely has some overhead.

The tool is called rip grep. You could see it as a way of saying "RIP grep". The tool isn't called grep. The binary isn't called grep. It therefore isn't grep.

For people who make grep an alias into rg, they can use, rg does have three compatibility modes: -u -uu and -uuu # see the manpage for details.
Cheap New Book on Amazon about Computer Vision and Machine Learning
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NKT94GV

This book implemented six different algorithms to classify images with prediction accuracy as the primary criterion and time consumption as the secondary one. The accuracies varied between about 30% and 90%, while the time consumptions varied from several seconds to more than one hour. Considering both criteria, the Pre-Trained AlexNet Features Representation plus a Classifier, such as the k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and the Support Vector Machines (SVM), was concluded as the best algorithm.
This.

Why does a spell checker need to live in the cloud?

I still don't get cryptocurrencies. Yes, a blockchain works when zero trust is needed/desired for transactions, but that's still an implementation-level concern, and implementations aren't perfect. Without legal means of redress, somebody is always going to get burned. If there are legal means of redress, then by definition you trust somebody, right?

I think a blockchain fits well when you need to verify a legal authority, like a felonies database (can you trust the cop that filed the report?), but otherwise it kind of just goes around the legal system; by doing so, you're just re-inventing the wheel.
If you have the time, grab Sheepshaver and boot up the last version of Hypercard. You will see that it did a lot of things that a browser simply cannot. For example, you can copy a button from anywhere and paste it into your own stack using copy/paste. Think of what it takes to do that on the web!

You probably did this, but just in case: If you want thicker texture, you also need to strain it (e.g. through a cheese cloth) after it has set.

Agreed. I've only seen it once but I recall feeling "what's the big deal" at the end.

However the interview made me re-think this a bit. That the interviewer mistook the number of extras by a large margin speaks to the cinematic "tricks" (as cited pejoratively in parent post) being successful even thirty years later.

It also seems to fill a different niche from the MEMS resonators Apple are using. Those are ultra-low-power 32KHz oscillators for keeping time in standby mode, but the CC2652RB still relies on an external quartz crystal for that, perhaps because this tech is even more power-hungry than the already too power-hungry high frequency quartz oscillator it replaces.
Fantastic, right? Also, your HN username seems to fit very well with the story and your comment!
Decentralized currency is simply not viable for the mainstream, an economy needs institutions that can be relied upon and a certain level of centralized control to take the wheel when things go sour. There are still gains to be made via speculation but the dreams of folks like Nick Szabo will not be realized with crypto in its current state.
> And over the long run, sharing lawnmowers wouldn't even reduce total lawnmower production. The shared lawnmowers would run more hours per week and need replacement sooner.

This is only true if people fully utilize their personal lawnmower before discarding it. I doubt this is the case. It seems that sharing would result in less discarding of under-utilized lawnmowers, and thus reduce the number of lawnmowers needed. Of course, I'm not saying anyone should be forced to do this.

Bigger, Fewer, Riskier: The Evolution of U.S. Banking Since 1950
Image Classification Using Python&Tech of Computer Vision and Machine Learning
I wrote a series of Markov chain chat simulators as a teenager. In fact I independently "invented" the concept, and I was crushed to discover I'd been scooped by several decades. I figured out a lot of tricks for making the text more coherent, but I abandoned the project when I decided the road to an artificial general intelligence did not pass through here: it's definitely attached to the main trunk, but represents a side-offshoot. My last thinking on the matter / current thinking in hindsight is that the apparent and peculiar power of Markov chains to model human language is simply a necessary consequence of the constraints of serialization, in much the same way that different libraries for serializing complex data structures might convergently evolve. Also, an ability to predict the likely next symbol provides some redundancy and error-correction ability. It could simply be that languages which approximately satisfy the Markov property are such a cheap and effective way to get error resilience that there's little reason for a language not to evolve that way. I use the word "approximately" deliberately: it was the realization that a chat AI making and holding coherent thoughts is incompatible with the Markov property that caused me to abandon my work.

If I were a security consultant, I would be a bit more hesitant about telling the world that I casually entered a seed phrase worth $60K into an online device, never mind which software it was. The report mentions that the seed phrase originally came from his exodus wallet (desktop software), which is also a wallet that is not suitable for storing such large amounts.

For those amounts, use a hardware wallet, or software that supports generating the transactions offline so that the device with the key never has to go online.

But it's a point that will continue to be made as long as the US diplomats continue to use Cold War cliches to describe the "enemy" while back-patting the US as a global sentinel for liberal values and human rights.

> I don't use them because going to a brick and mortar grocery store is awesome.

I agree with you, but the meal order kits, at least to me, doesn't solve "going to the grocery store".

They solve the issue of too much choice and too little time to make a decision. That push us to just try to same usual meals. At least with meal kits, not only you try new stuff, that you may have no tried for many reason (Does my supermarket carry this ingredient? Do I have it already in my pantry? Will I need to buy 10x too much of it to try this meal that I may not like?), but you also do it quickly.

I remember when I tried Goodfood late last year, there was a recipe I was interested in, but it was from their "family" meal plan. I still wanted to do it, so a month ago I went to get the recipe. I couldn't find a few of the spices at my local supermarket and it required a little bit of Sherry Vinegar, which sure isn't expensive and may be used in the future, but it's still way more than I need and will go to waste if I don't reuse it/like it.

I'm going to try a service that someone made in this thread, Eat This Much, and I'll see if it's works too, but I feel like it's not enough and many of theses issues will come up.

I still haven't closed my account over Goodfood, I still plan to order a few meals from time to time, to add recipes to my usual meals list. I feel like that's the kind of usage that make sense. Sure it's more expensive, sure the shipping require more waste, but it doesn't hurt if it just happens from time to time and maybe my Sherry Vinegar that I may waste in the long run isn't much different either.

If you have an Instant Pot (or maybe another electric pressure cooker), it has a "yogurt" setting that automates steps 1, 2, and 5. It will heat your milk, alert you to when to add the starter, and hold the temperature in the desired range for as long as you want. If you're lazy like me, you can skip the jars and just make the yogurt directly in the stainless steel inner pot.
Probably because it remains very up-to-date without the difficulty of distributing giant dictionaries as updates (well, obviously new words can be delivered as diffs to existing offline dictionaries).

But yeah, if you have access to the world's repository of [something], it's very interesting to see who wants to find out about that thing. Like people editing Sarah Palin's Wikipedia page days before she was announced in 2008. Or Apple forbidding use of Google in their office, because hey, imagine if there's a spike of Google searches for a specific chip or technology from a particular Cupertino IP, and someone is watching.

Or if you control people's communication media and can see who's messaging who, with what frequency, and what content (Hello Mark!).
Oh yeah, until the police come to his door with guns drawn . . .
The worst problem in my opinion is not even this. With crypto currencies you can NEVER be sure that you are the owner of what you think you own. The only thing that guarantees your property of crypto currency is the EXCLUSIVE ownership of a private key. But what guarantees that other people don't already have access to the key you think is private, through any of the millions of forms of hacking that are available? Even if you have your private key secured nowadays, there is always the possibility that someone else in the past hacked and had access to that same private key and can use it at any time. So, even the notion private property cannot be guaranteed with crypto currencies.
Investor and Relational Risk Management
The number of legitimate uses seems to drop pretty dramatically when you talk about a system that is used in a zero trust situation and irreversible.

I think the block chain philosophy as far as crypto currency and use for legitimate business just doesn't go hand in hand like some folks thought it might. People really don't want to do business if there is zero trust, and centralized databases, and strong courts, are fine. Even when there aren't strong courts blockchain doesn't so much fill the gap as provide a risky solution... that involves a lot of illegal and undesirable behavior.

i think it's for the best if such is done, yes, but then the question becomes potentially malicious by whose standard? for instance, if we were to operate off of what your perspective appears to be, then you (appear to) have the preconceived notion that the actions were indeed malicious and if anything it would seem you're seeking to gratify your inherent confirmation bias as a human rather than attempting to discern the actual nature of things. of course, i don't want you to think im saying you're doing any of this with absolute certainty as im not sure we can know anything with such clarity, but more just that in these situations it pays to have a third party that is ultimately detached from either outcome to determine which interpretation is the most valid one. also words
