No, not really. The biggest concern is what everyone ignores. Apps that provide some kind of barely useful feature, but phones home and provides information about you, like phone number IMEI, your location etc.
That's not the same thing as making progress though. You never get closer to rolling a 6.
In which country and under which building standard? Because I can tell you, I’ve been in plenty of modern buildings all over the world where there was clearly not enough oxygen in several of the rooms.
It's always seemed to me like accurate risk profiling is a positive thing. We don't mind that smokers pay higher rates, for example. After all their projected medical costs are more than double. Otherwise, nonsmokers would be forced to subsidize the choices of smokers.

Things like congenital issues should be protected (not a choice), but if someone leads an unhealthy lifestyle and actuaries can work out a good expected cost, why not? Is that so different from a risky driver?
It is missing a few elements that were added relatively recently (like `<picture>` and `<dialog>`). I also find it a bit strange that the categorization comes from somewhere else then the WHATWG living standard[1].

But virtually all buildings already do this. In fact, it's often part of the (legal) building code.
I am still of the opinion that not putting some sort of visual break between a variable name and the type is somewhat unpleasant. Almost every other language uses a colon to make these easier to visually parse.

Did you reply to the wrong thread?
That’s not a hard rule, we treated a patient who was an IVDU who had 3 aortic valves in 3 years (IV drug users seed bacteria into their system which then form vegetations on heart valves, and there is an increased predisposition for the vegetations to form on foreign material such as replacement valves).

But depending on the damage to the aortic root, that is going to be the primary determinant on if they are going to be able to undergo repeated procedures.
I have heard of TAVIs being placed inside precious tissue replacements so that’s potentially the next route for a lot of people, which would mean basically x3, the third replacement being more streamlined than the previous two
It should be said that OpenBSD is a fine system, and this specific (BBR) difference would only show up if you had significantly large amounts of data to transfer in flows. I suspect normal use of OpenBSD as most people deploy it (which is not streaming data at high speed) wouldn't care.

I have nothing against OpenBSD. If the developers don't want to implement BBR right now because of more important stuff on their backlog, thats fine with me.
Sure but one room is probably hosting > 2 hours of meetings in a day.

Doors opening probably helps though?
Certainly in any developed country, though I can't speak for the developing world. HVAC controls have been around basically for as long as we have been making large inhabited structures (nearly 100 years).

I do this for my job in the US.
There's a more technical version of the original Low Tech article available[1]. I've been tracking this project for a while and found it really inspiring.

I've been starting to build my own systems based upon the Raspberry Pi 2/3 and the ODROID-C2, and currently use the ODROID as an ultra-low-power server. Most of my documentation and configuration so far has been in a private repo, but with this much interest I made it public[2] in hopes that others would be willing to issue PRs and work on it with me. If you're interested in this type of optimization definitely contact me, I'd love to work on this stuff more with environmentally-interested people.

So if I want to pull one over various people in a meeting, I need to make sure:

1. Organize a long meeting.

2. Invite as much people as possible.

3. Pitch my stuff at the end of the meeting.

4. Profit.

I jest.

This is one of those aspects where a good editor makes a big difference.

I've recently moved from writing javascript in vim, to writing typescript in vim, to writing typescript using VSCode. Being able to hover over a variable and see a variable's type makes it easier to read complex code. This is useful irrespective of whether or not you're using type inference, since you don't need to hunt down the variable's declaration to figure out its type. And if you're reading back the compiler's type information through your IDE while programming, you may as well take advantage of type inference.
I think Suse came from Slackware originally.
Excellent execution. I could easily see this used with contextual seeds/triggers in a VR experience.
> Python discourages using operators for things that don't have anything to do with their original use.

Python doesn't really discourage anything and especially not overloading operators in weird ways. You even pointed out the pathlib insanity in the stdlib. Python isn't the shiny bastion of consistency and obviousness that the zen claimed it was years ago
Only CO detectors are mandatory in buildings.
He's suggesting that the impaired cognitive function from the increased CO2 is why they picked Node. (I.e: a joke)
I'm going to guess no, based on the fact that in Apollo 13 they had plenty of oxygen, but they needed to stop the buildup of CO2 or they would die, no amount of oxygen would help them, since CO2 is poisonous.
No. Building Codes typically refer to a standard like ASHRAE 62, which basically prescribes a fresh-air rate for a space by size and occupancy. Demand based ventilation is not common in my experience (small commercial buildings).
I work in health care and I know there are already care giving robots being worked on but I really do think it will be a long time before all those tasks are automated. Sure you could have generalized care robots that lift people and perhaps even provide care in the form of cleaning them. But humans are very complex. One day you the person might be sore in a rib for example and needs to be rolled just enough that you can get under them but also stop the moment they are experiencing discomfort. The robot would have to take in a lot of inputs and interpret them. And those inputs can be confusing even to a human. For example I have one client I always rub lotion on his feet. First few times he moaned and made those noises as I rubbed his feet. I had to ask “am I hurting you?” to which he replied heck no. It just felt so good he was moaning. Also sometimes the only indication is the facial expression on their face. It can indicate a lot and a person who can not speak will still show discomfort. So until a robot can take care of all those aspects I still see humans involved for a long time.

Colorful, portable and easy to make: Inarizushi are the best picnic food
A while back there was a long thread on slatestarcodex on people's anecdotes about this question.
But much fewer places have valuables compared to cash. Most of the food and service places have nothing worth stealing -- but often carry lots of cash. (or at least used to, some of them since moved to credit-card only [1])

There are other crime-reducing forces as well -- smart car keys which are harder to steal, activation lock on the phones which prevent reselling, and so on.

I do wonder how crime would adopt to future cashless society. I think most of the mugging and pickpocketing will go away. Will this mean increase of burglary? Or will the criminals start doing something else?

> I think most people, given enough explanation, would recognize that Stallman and the FSF are 100% correct in their extremism and zealotry - but most aren't able to live without the convenience they've come to know and love.

Oh, yes, I'm very much of the opinion that they are right; the only reason I'm not joining them is because my Mac works well ;) I have nothing wrong with their "extremism"–the issue I have is that their attacks come across as childish, especially when they give things stupid names, and often they are pieced together by people who aren't actually experts in what they're complaining about and so they end up with evidence like "$NEWS_WEBSITE says this is bad", when the actual issue is something much more fundamental.
For real-time applications, worst case can be much more important than the average case. However, not all computation is real-time. Sometimes the average rate is more important than the worst-case.

If we're talking about practical applications like a video game, I'd still say that an algorithm that won't finish within my lifetime is strictly worse than one that might.

Yeah it's not run of the mill, but great graduate candidates can absolutely get $120K+, so it puts into perspective the salary of the thread's OP, who had like 5 years experience.
I suppose it could be the difference between high rises and smaller structures. My projects have been very particular about it.
It’s already not sustainable.
I agree with you 100%, the point was that degrees are not worthless, not that the system is inherently unfair.
I have had this need at work so I can learn Kubernetes and I used Microsoft Azure.

You can create a VM in a few seconds loaded with Ubuntu. I went for the approx $100/month machine because I shut it down when not in use so it costs nowhere near that. You have to shut it down in the portal or via azure api, not using the shell command to save money.

It’s easy to SSH into and possible to Remote Desktop although I haven’t made that work yet.

The turning off the machine when not using it requirement would require you to write code to detect that you are not using it. You could write something that once there is no ssh for 15 minutes calls the azure api to shut it down.
I love this way of thinking about "poor" and "rich" as mental labels rather than objective monetary worth. It makes me wonder: Why is it easy to label oneself as "poor" or "rich", but not as someone on the middle of that spectrum?
I don't think there is a point to be made here. It's unreasonable to suggest that people should deliberately target their giving in an inefficient manner.
I didn't say code that doesn't do anything, I said code that isn't required to do any particular thing.
My pie in the sky is for them to eventually port HAMMER2 from dragonflyBSD to OpenBSD.
I don't see how this will work, unless every country does this, or your currency becomes non-convertible.

And even then, you would still be able to buy stocks, expensive jewelry, gold, houses and so on.
The conference rooms at my office often have CO2 sensors on the wall.

In the interest of science, I discovered a few strong breaths of air next to the sensor will kick the HVAC on full blast.
Both in the UK and HK I’ve been in rooms where there is a clear lack of anything approximating clean and fresh air, be it faulty installation or poor adherence to code, I don’t know.

Either way, at least on a personal level, increased awareness of the risks is not a non-issue :-)
Are you aware Google acquired Virustotal in 2012?

I know people @ Google who worked on related technology, it's not all fraud and they took their jobs rather seriously.

But there is definitely some fraud going on. Virus scanners are necessarily positioned and privileged perfectly for exploitation. You definitely have to be careful with what you employ in this capacity.

How is expanding coverage to a larger pool of people (many of which have preexisting conditions that are forbidden from being factored into premiums) and subsidizing healthcare for the poor supposed to make healthcare cheaper? This is just voodoo economics, you don't get to simultaneously reduce costs while expanding coverage to higher risk people and people who don't pay market rates.

Getting nostalgic about the 90s isn't going to solve anyone's problem - not unless we're okay with euthanizing the elderly en masse to reduce the percentage of retirees back down to 1990s levels.
They're random news articles that seem like they were the result of searching for "Apple is bad" on your favorite AGPLv3 search engine. They don't actually provide evidence for the real issues (merely hinting at them from a bunch of different angles), and they're don't appear to be very well researched or even necessarily provide details about the issue. In short, it's just spewing random "transgressions" without a coherent argument behind it, when there is totally one that could be made if he put in a bit of effort.

Thanks for the article. I was looking to replace a chipped old Pyrex measuring cup about a month ago and found myself going down this same rathole of research.

It all makes perfect sense as I just naturally assume that all old-school US consumer goods go through the same sequence of events:

1) sell the company, close US factory
2) license the name to a manufacturer in China
3) cost reduce, cost reduce, cost reduce
4) profit!

60 Beats Per Minute feels a lot different than 100 BPM, which feels different than 140+ BPM. Once you get a feeling for how different BPM's feel to you if you have an abnormal elevation, like rapid heart rate at rest that would be an indication to manually check your pulse.

FWIW, it's possible to be both a moral grandstander and meticulously cite sources: for example, consider a vegan who says it's morally wrong to kill animals (which, depending on your worldview, could be baseless), but also cites sources saying that eating meat is a bad choice for the environment (which is easily citable).

Not just CO2, but heat lowers performance. Every time I go into an office and the AC is set to like 75 or higher, I just feel groggy. Set it to like 72, or lower, and it's a lot easier to stay awake. 65 or so in the winter is perfect, I love it when it's brisk in the office -- I get in early intentionally and before 8 AM it's nice and cool.

Verizon buries the option to order a sim card for a new prepaid line somewhere on their website, I've successfully used the widget to ask for the URL twice.

Also used it to ask/politely demand Verizon reset my roll-over data balance anytime my card on file expired or was canceled and I forgot to update it so auto-pay failed and service was suspended temporarily, which removes any roll-over data balance.

I used it to disect the roll-over data policy which requires auto-pay to be enabled and confirm system limitations that disallow scheduling payment prior to experation and/or keeping additional month balance on account to avoid service interruption so shortly after a failed payment. Agent was able to set custom $1 auto pay amount and I now use my bank bill pay service to pay full monthly amount a few days before service end date avoiding interruptions. This arrangement involved lots of questions in the chat widget.
To be fair, this experiment has been run many many times since the the introduction of the iPad. I even tried it a few years ago because I liked the long battery life and the form factor (and after an HN article about iPad/Linode Dev setup[1]). Turns out lack of proper multitasking and multi-window management, and even lack of mouse support made everything cumbersome. Always needing a remote machine got old really fast too.

No real benefit over a decent laptop.

Probably right. Many clients view it only as an added expense for equipment. Beyond that, there is a certain type of client/owner who is skeptical of any automation beyond a bi-metallic thermostat.
The greenhouse effect is not appreciable at this scale.
I mean if you take the grammar to be part of the official language specification and you believe it prohibits recursive typedefs then isn't that sufficient? It seems a bit like saying it causes you trouble on occasion that they never explicitly spelled out that 'deftype' isn't a synonym for 'typedef'? I would've assumed that if something is not valid in the grammar then it's not valid in the language described by it.
Also, how many people bother to report a broken baking dish or whatever? Figure the reality is at least 10x worse.
Drives often have no media density detection and the density signal must be driven appropriately by the controller.

I seem to remember from when I briefly played around with this stuff, that the density select is used only for writing, to change the head current, but it's possible that the signal also alters something in the read path, e.g. the biasing/filtering for the head amplifier. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a schematic of a 3.5" drive to verify this.

Floppy drives are relatively "dumb" devices, they don't really interpret the data on the disks but just output a series of pulses corresponding to the flux transitions detected by the head. Data rate is entirely under control of the drive controller, which is what Kryoflux replaces.
it looks much easier to de-solder the BIOS than to use the Pamona Clip... unless you are doing a dozen of those.
What's the competitive advantage vs just using household CO2 sensors that cost $60-100 and are portable between rooms?
Good.

Nature has a way to deal with undesirable behavior.

I condemn these scientists for disclosing this finding. Now bureaucrats will hold multiple 90 minute meetings with snack and drink breaks between them. Or spend more to equip their meeting rooms to deal with this. Either way, we'll be worse off.

Can I get the source? MS and Canonical have shown strong partnership lately but that doesn't mean MS is going to buy Canonical.
No you don't. Glass is nearly the worst possible material for stovetop cooking. With thermal conductivity roughly 1/70 that of cast iron, it's impossible to cook on a range without burning the food, and that combined with a relatively low heat capacity makes it useless even for searing. On top of that, glass seems to be a uniquely sticky cooking surface. It's far stickier than unseasoned steel or aluminum.

I have several pieces of Visions. I would never, ever use them on a range. I use them exclusively in the oven, where the IR transmittance of the glass is useful, and the uniform surrounding temperature makes the poor thermal conductivity a non-issue.
Just from looking at their home page video, isn't Takeoff's solution more like Kiva Systems'? Are they using robots for pick-up and packaging as well?

Wonderful project.

Beware: my top of line android phone rebooted itself after a minute or so of music.
I'm really excited for where this can go. I'd love for it to be possible to feed a generator like this with the style of music I like to have on in the background and then it interpolate an "infinite stream" from there–naïvely, I feel like certain genres (e.g. progressive house) would be ideal for this kind of treatment since they seem to be inherently quite structured and recurrent.
At the PPM required for cognitive impairment, how long does someone need to be in the area for this to measurably affect them?

I know at my workplace, we tend to have short meetings (thankfully!). However we inhabit the upper sections of old downtown square, which was 7 different buildings architecturally "glued" together. But when we do have meetings, they're back to back with other meetings given the shared meeting space.

But this is even more sinister if what I'm thinking is correct: the toxins accumulate even if it doesn't impair the first meeting (or 3), and effects worsen through the day for anyone in there.
Why would they change?
