Without the Internet: between rentals, purchases, and the library, more than enough media to keep me 100% happy and occupied my entire life for very little money.

With the Internet: Same but now I have way more than I need rather than just more than I need, to the point that picking something to enjoy is kinda hard because there's so much and it's all about equally hard to get—i.e. not hard—all the time. Total expense kinda high, actually, since you can't reduce the base cost of Internet access by checking more movies out from the library, even if you manage to replace Netflix and friends—to use it at all, there's a high monthly price, so if you occasionally need it for work or whatever you're just stuck.

Also, for those who didn't grow up without the Internet, here's a fun one: passing thoughts about trivia didn't used to bug us. In fact they'd often not even reach the level of conscious thought. It was difficult enough to find out the answers to "when was that actor born?" or "who produced [album you don't have on hand]?" that we just... didn't even think about it, most of the time. If we did and no-one within yelling distance knew the answer and there wasn't a relevant coffee table book around to consult, that was it, rarely did anyone go to the effort to find out or feel any kind of nagging sensation that they really ought to go look that up. In short, it was wonderful.

For those who didn't grow up without smartphones (they're old enough to be on here now!): we used to often do one thing at a time, not one thing plus being on our phones. Oh and kids—even ones old enough that they all have their own cell phones now, like 8 or 9 years old—used to just have to find something to do if they got dragged somewhere by their parents and got bored. Usually games with other kids around, if there were any. The games would be imagination-based or use improvised playing equipment—cup ball, for instance, which was like baseball but with a wadded up cardboard concession cup for a ball, and makeshift bases. Seriously.
> You can't "break" a commutative property that doesn't exist because the operator is not yet defined.

That's the point (eg modulus). There's an entire preamble that's not relevant to the decision. The coverage of the inane "insights" is some hero worship hype.
Firefox is anti-user. It prevents users from controlling their own software. It uses a ineffective walled garden model where there's an automated system to submit all add-ons to to get them signed by moz. Then you are allowed to install them in "your" browser. The only work around is to use the buggy version embodied in the beta or dev (aurora formerly) versions.

I actually enjoyed all of that, and still occasionally spend time pouring through the stacks. Right up until the "making copies" part. It goes very quickly (instantly?) downhill from there.

I definitely get more out of physical paper where I can book mark, dog ear, underline, highlight and write in the margins than I've ever gotten from a digital copy. Except for the searching.

I don't think we'll ever have a great hybrid, but pairing the two together is the way to go.

Inter-branch loans haven't changed. I'm on 3 months now still waiting for one.
Got a source on how heat lowers performance? Because anecdotally, I beg to differ. I like it around 76F.
I’m pretty sure that issue is a question of 40 tracks vs 80 tracks, rather thsn the density.

It's true that borosilicate Pyrex is better than the newer stuff, but honestly both are inferior to stoneware, cast iron or stainless steel. You will not find any professional kitchen cooking in glassware.
I disagree. Programmers tend to go overboard when it comes to their dev machines. But if an iPad could really improve development, you can bet programmers would dump their $3k laptop workstations in a heartbeat.
This was supposedly something that No Man's Sky was doing, was it not?
Why must one do this step? I didn't quite understand it.
Business happens in a wide range of buildings around the world. I think the research is pretty important still.

It also depends on office layout, every floor could be completely unique and built by different people. Perhaps your skyscrapers HVAC takes it into account but the office you are in is laid out with an enclosed conference room. The vents are not enough and the HVAC isn't sensing per room just an average sensor somewhere so it doesn't compensate.

The takeaway for me is just to keep it in mind, not cause a big fuss. I think that's a sane thing to do.
Hey folks, I'm the creator of the site and the music on it. I'm happy people are enjoying the music.

I see some people are having a rough time on mobile devices so I wanted to help with that. I have found that iOS Safari will mute the site if you have your iPhone in silent mode (there might be a way for me to fix this but I haven't explored it much yet). However, you'll probably find that many of the pieces snap crackle and pop a bit on mobile devices. I'm looking into ways to improve that but for now unfortunately the best advice I have is to try it on your desktop or laptop or to try some of the less complex pieces towards the end of the list. I really appreciate the feedback; I've only done so much testing with the devices I have available so hearing from more people with a larger range of devices is super helpful. Feel free to open issues on Github as well: https://github.com/generative-music/generative.fm/issues
Remember calling the theater's recorded schedule line? Then if someone bugged you at the wrong moment you'd miss the times for the one you needed and have to listen to the whole damn thing again?
Agreed. I'm a pretty solid artist who doesn't learn well from others, and I'll still praise the book. It had another lesson in it that I never see mentioned, one that was expanded on in Drawing on the Artist Within. Our mind has task managers that constantly assess what we're doing. They do scheduling, handle cost benefit analysis, etc. For someone who doesn't already have the right aptitudes, this can lead to a nagging voice in the back of your mind telling you that you aren't doing a good job, this is boring, you're wasting your time. Getting people to use some simple brain hacks to stop listening to their preconceptions and just draw what they see can bypass these issues long enough for some people to see that they're being their own worst enemy. It isn't a good book to teach you how to draw. It's there to help make sure you don't give up the moment you start.
Ask HN: I am creating a project on opensource,how to gather people to contribute
I am working on a project involving transferring of sound from android to some port of PC, and a python library at the backend can get the voice and use it in other applications, with the enthusiasm of OS I want to gather more people around and want to collaborate, how this is possible.
I have seen big repos like Python-Requests, Beautiful Soup etc there are many of the contributors they contribute to a cause, how can I make my repo like this.
Maybe I'm not communicating clearly, but the point I'm making is, speech censorship is coming, and it is not coming from the government, it's going to be decentralized speech censorship, and the reason why it's coming is because trolls are going to ruin all of our communications channels.

The cost of speech and publishing has gone to zero in many ways, and with automation, trolls are going to conduct one big denial of service attack. When the founding fathers envisioned freedom of speech and press, they envisioned individuals with soap boxes speaking to crowds, they envisioned some people printing newspapers or pamphlets, they didn't imagine every single person with a megaphone able to blare at a loud volume, and even clone themselves via automation to go blast their megaphone in every hall and park.

When there are no costs, bad actors can spam. The end result in email was the institution of very aggressive spam filters, which made it partially useful again. Public online discourse is becoming so toxic and troll ridden, that either commenting is going to be disabled, or it's going to be aggressive filtered and curated (i.e. censored)

As soon as that happens, the right wing is going to claim their viewpoints are being censored by left wing tech companies. The left wing is going to claim their viewpoints are being censored by an oligarchy in bed with the US empire, and everyone's going to whine about their particular video or missive being taken down by algorithms, because quite simpler, there's no perfect algorithm for this, and the problem is beyond human curation -- even assuming humans themselves could be unbiased curators.

So increased censorship seems inevitable, no one is going to be happy, and mostly because social manners that used to keep people in check in the physical world, have essentially amplified the ability of people to wreak havok and bear no responsibility.

Free speech was never freedom from responsibility. Someone deciding not to work with you of your public statements or behaviors or criticize you was always the check and balance.

The thing with authoritarian leftists on campus, and the alt-right, is that the people getting hyperbolic over pronouns are a minority and not an actual threat. They're also pretty public about it, and don't need to hide who they are. They're not shooting up mosques or synagogues or churches or blowing up Oklahoma federal buildings. In the 70s, the left wing actually would commit terrorism, trying to sabotage property and the establishment, but that has mostly abated.

What we're seeing over the last few years, is a rise in nationalism and ethocentrism, a 'great unraveling',and I worry about that a lot more than I worry about someone on campus demanding their trigger warning safe space.

We have nationalists now at the levers of power, one in fact, the most powerful man in the world. When we have a President who is going to punish people for using the wrong pronoun, I'll start worrying about that.
Can't imagine what the CO2 level of Congress is like.

And if I wanted a dumb terminal I'd much prefer a MacBook Air, with its sturdier keyboard and at least the option of having it not be a dumb terminal sometimes
Is it just me who thinks there something very viscerally repulsive about how it looks when it "contracts"?
I have worn both the original Fitbit Charge HR and the more recent Charge 2 daily for the past few years.

Aneceotally, because the watch isn't really water resistant (not least because the bands bubble if they get wet often), I have had it run out twice in that time and both times I was on holiday somewhere with no power. Because you are unlikely to actually wear it in the shower, just leave the charger permanently in your bathroom and get in the habit of taking it off and putting it on the charger when you shower. Even if you forget for one or two days it will almost always be sufficiently charged.

These articles do very little simply because science and fact holds no interst from our oppressors. Capitalism, patriarchy and colonialism are the systems that drive our globe. Until everyone realises the value of life this planet makes possible and that we are in charge of our liberation nothing will happen. This has the most potential to save our planet, unfortunately you cannot dismantle the masters house with the masters tools. Hopefully our planet can sustain life long enough for the human race to correct or at least for once acknowledge the harm we do to each other and our source of life. Maybe just maybe we can survive.
I had a Pyrex baking pan crack in the oven once. I was baking some chicken breasts that I hadn't thawed, they were still frozen solid. The pan didn't explode though, just cracked into a couple of large pieces.
I think about this a lot too. Plastic is extremely energy-dense. The landfills of today could easily be the fuel mines if the future. And yes, it will be full of contaminants, but coal is tainted with heavy metals and radioactive materials.

Anyway, recycling has always been a resource drain to make people feel good. It's definitely better to recapture and contain as much waste as possible, but people don't think about things like how much water is wasted by rinsing all those bottles out.

I like the idea of memorizing HTML elements by their position in the table. But color coding might be more distinctive, not just a shades of one color.

Also why the group is highlighted when an element is hovered, but not the other way around?
You're arguing for limiting speech. I'm arguing against.
One of the problems that we have encountered is that even though an Android AV might be less than useful, durring the sales process enterprise customers are requiring a solution for each type of endpoint they have. So to play the game, you need to offer a solution, even if it is not a solution.
To be specific, we're not talking about classical viruses here.

This is a different kind of malware.

Fortunately, you're probably not going to get 'infected' merely by being on the same network as someone with malware.

I think perhaps Google should take some API steps to help fix the problem. There are just some kinds of things that nary any app should be able to do anyhow.

I don't know of any language that has type on right without a non-ambiguous marker like `let`. That is what avoid ambiguity.
Of course your dad shouldn’t be upset - your grand father did exactly what he should have done. When you notice a symptom like that, you get it checked out. (I’m happy for you and your dad, btw). The problem is when you have people getting checked out without any underlying symptoms.

When you have a ton of people getting their hearts checked because their watch told them to (and only for that reason), you’re going to get a lot of false positives. There are many reasons better explained in these comments for why that’s not a good thing.

One major reason is the extra stress on the medical system that can’t handle it. There has been much talk about medical genetics clinics having issues dealing with people calling in about 24 and me (etc) test results. It’s a major load for these clinics.

Now, an easy test like this — in the presence of other symptoms — is a great thing to have. I just worry about all the people getting needlessly checked out. But for those who already have a concern or family history, this type of test can be great.
I have had good success as a user (mostly billing, asking for credits or removal of charges/fees) with chat bots.

By politely specifying exactly what the problem is, what actions need to happen for it to be considered resolved, and asking to contact a party who can take those actions in my first message it helps hasten the interaction.
I had a Pyrex pan shatter. Didn’t bother reporting of course.
Most of them are still made in a factory in Greenville, Ohio.
They made a mistake with that joke, but it was an outlier. I used Lineage (and Cyanogenmod, its predecessor) for six and a half years straight and never had any reason to doubt its quality. The long-term security updates alone make it one of the best options for keeping your Android device solid.

Why was a new single-aisle plane important?
Getting exhausted from flying is not due to CO2, because a plane has more ventilation (measured in air changes per hour) than the majority of buildings.
Project-checklist – The best projects sell themselves
The devices they can maintain are constrained by manpower and what they have on hand for testing, but they keep some really old devices going based on popularity. I'm pretty sure the Galaxy S3 still gets the latest. I know the OnePlus One does.
It's per-zone monitoring integrated into each wall-mounted space sensor. That communicates with the terminal unit supplying ventilation to each room on an individual basis. Your office building is actually a very large robot controlled by quite a bit of software.
Why? If you disagree with giving to charity, does that invalidate the rest of the article? Or are you suggesting that it was financially irresponsible to give to charity?

If the second, I think that this is wrong. She had a 6 month emergency fund - the (presumably) relatively little she gave to charity is unlikely to extend that runway very much. I think (some of) the point of the article is that true poverty is living a life in which your _needs_ are greater than your means. A little extra runway isn't going to help you in the long run there. Once you're in this position, often through no fault of your own, you become stuck in a cycle of poverty.

Rhetoric about poverty that implies that the poor are financially irresponsible I think is very damaging. No amount of fiscal responsibility could have shielded her from not being able to earn once she became sick, and having her costs drastically increased due to having a disabled child. I don't think it should be possible to find yourself in a situation where you cannot provide for your families needs (ie, food, rent etc) and we should be working towards creating a society where this is the case, rather than labelling poor people as financially irresponsible.
In my experience you can wear it 23.5 hours a day as long as you charge during your morning shower and checking your email.
In my neighborhood, you can leave metal objects on the curb and they're gone within hours, loaded into a pickup or trailer and taken to the scrap metal recyclers for cash. That came in handy when I was doing rental property maintenance, but unfortunately used mattresses have 0 scrap value.

On the other hand, if the "everything else in the universe changes" model is established and understood, that can be an excellent way to streamline and decouple things.

I could see it working well with a React-style component model-- update the state, and anything derived from it automatically changes to match.

The desktop side is problematic. Developing desktop Linux makes no sense for Microsoft, but acquiring Canonical and killing that part would look bad.

The Red Strings Club OST and the calmer Deus Ex soundtracks are really excellent for programming too. The mood I attribute it to is "competent thoughtfulness with light pressure toward action". I know that is a silly way to put it, but that is music for you.

Similarly good are parts of the Fallout OSTs and Minecraft OST. I have listend to a bunch of game and movie OSTs for films and games I haven't even watched, it's a great source of programming backing tracks.

Actually, you don't — tap the "button" and just start sliding your finger. Same for the brightness control.

I think it is one of those cases Apple sometimes has where they come up with a good interface, but people are so used to bad ones they don't even realise that a better way might work.

I'm not surprised that I've seen a lot of complaints about the touchbar; if you're used to physical keys, a touch-screen is no substitute. (Fortunately, I was already weaning myself off Fkeys, so I don't really miss them.) But I am surprised that I haven't seen more discussion of what it gets right. A slider that you can actually slide is a good UI metaphor for volume (as opposed to tapping fake keys repetitively). The touchbar also can show buttons from dialog-boxes, letting you "type" them instead of having to move your hand to the mouse. It isn't always used to great effect, but it's clear that some real thought was put into it, and I appreciate the attempt to take advantage of what it can do.
Looks like it's been generated client-side. While impressive, it's also CPU demanding. Unfortunately, muttering fan on my (quite dated) notebook kind of ruins the experience.

The continued pursuit of increased fuel efficiency. Airbus managed to make their A320neo more fuel efficient than Boeing's 737 and so Boeing were at risk of losing customers to Airbus.

The new, more efficient engines are bigger and hence didn't fit under the wings of the 737. Hence the "hacks" Boeing did to fit them on 737 that required software augmentation to get it to work safely. A newly designed plane taking into account the size of the engines would have been more inherently stable without software augmentation.

Boeing's solution will probably be to improve the software augmentation by fixing the behavior of error detection and correction in the case of sensor troubles (such as adding clear warnings which some airlines have already added as a optional features)
I'm relatively certain 4690 OS is a independent, proprietary OS or at least lacking the Linux kernel, which is pretty important.

It's all still borosilicate glass. Helpfully the brand logos are slightly different for the different countries, so it should be easy to spot.

It seems daft to me to take away the main selling point of the stuff by starting to make it with cheap glass.
