Sorry that you're going through some challenges with your child, but I do not think it is even remotely fair nor comparable to contrast the situation of your child (who have a parent posting on Hacker News, meaning you're likely making at least some kind of livable if not more-than-livable income) with that of a child whose parent is literally unable to place food on the table. Quite frankly the question is a bit insensitive at best to the latter situation. Did you read the story?

The mother in the story volunteered at a food bank, because she was afraid and ashamed to apply for the food vouchers themselves, for gods sake - are you serious when you say "I can't help wondering if he will be similarly affected as mentioned in the article"? The child in the article forced his emaciated mother to drink the entire glass of milk in front of him out of fear of her own safety and clear malnourishment. THAT is the trauma and anxiety that damages children growing up, not a mediocre cordon bleu. Does this sound like your situation at all?

Think about it. Have you ever, in your career, worked late into the night because you WANTED to? Now think about another time you worked very late because you HAD to. There is a massive difference in stress and the effect on mental health.

In conclusion: yes, it's better to choose to go to bed hungry than to literally be starving and be unable to get food. Your kid is gonna be alright, this is the perfect time to take a step back and be THANKFUL for having what the kids and parents in the story do not have.
I guess it boils down to the question: Would you give your own life to save the artworks of Notre Dame?

It's a pretty personal question. I admire the archaeologist you described, but I believe no one should feel obligated to do the same thing.
I know this idea is pretty far "out there", but what if you could have an aircraft hover over the structure and spray water, rather than dump it, like a giant shower? The whole idea of using water is that, with its high heat capacity, it absorbs the heat from the fire, as well as reducing its access to oxygen, but dumping it all at once obviously is bad for anything on the ground, but maybe showering it would work? I know, it's probably not feasible.
Nah because if they did that it would give them rights.
I was gonna chime in on 360's and saw your comment. The best solution that didn't involve replacing solder was a reflow combined with case mods to add screws that better stabilized the board directly around the problem chips which limited board warping so the inevitable solder melting heat cycles did not result in connection failures upon cooling, IME. There was rumblings that lead-free solder was a requirement for 'toy' classification but I can't confirm.

But there's still an aspect of the same vein, right?

Like, if you have a product, there's the retail price, and there's the wholesale price that Walmart pays you. There's a spread that you pay going through Walmart that they don't have to pay for their own products.

Now, it's definitely not 30%, but its there. I think the numbers change how onerous the splits feel, but the mechanics look similar.
I had the privilege of undertaking the first (and now the last..) study on the spire of Notre Dame since 1933.

The restoration works that were under place are a result in part of our recommended actions.

The spire was incredible. It was one oak trunk, connected with a "Scarf Joint", or "Jupitre" in French (Bolt-of-lightning joint)

There were the names of the last guys to inspect it in the 1930s, engraved at the top.
There was a french ww2 bullet embedded in the spire, presumably shot at a germany sniper who was in the spire...

Everything in the roof was antique wood. Anyone that went into the roof was paranoid of fire.

It's a very, very sad day.

As a celebration, I'm throwing up some photos that we'd never published from our study.

The wording on Wikipedia doesn't seem to match what actually happened.

IIRC, Raymond Hill, the original author of uBlock and current maintainer of uBlock Origin, voluntarily gave the control of uBlock project to Chris Aljoudi because he was tired of dealing with all the bug reports/issues (and Aljoudi offered to take it over, I think).

But due to various reasons, shortly (very shortly, maybe even no gap in between) after, he self-forked uBlock [1] to make uBlock Origin and started to work on it again.

So technically uBlock Origin is the fork, and more importantly, Chris Aljoudi didn't really "fork uBlock", he inherited the main repo.

Note: I'm by no means to defend Aljoudi's practice on uBlock and I'm pretty sure Hill regretted his decision of handing it over. But let's avoid historical revisionism.

How much will remain nuclear by 2025 (despite nuclear not being renewable)? Estimates suggest 20% to 30%, but the article also suggests that new nuclear plants are not necessarily going to be built as previously slated. Even still, 50% renewable plus ~25% nuclear is a pretty good clean mix.
So, you provide your ID to everyone you have a social interaction with?

For example, there's someone I've known for about two years and talk to regularly, we know a fair bit about eachother's lives. I was thinking the other day though and realized, we've never introduced ourselves to to eachother. We've never actually told eachother our names, yet every time we see eachother we talk like old friends.

Or there's plenty of parties where i've socially interacted with people without ever knowing or giving a name.

For the most part, at least partial anonymity is up to the choice of the participants for in person social interaction, why should the internet be different?

It's not like most privately owned public spaces require ID for you to talk to people inside of them. Bars and such I guess being an exception, but that's because they serve liquor and some bars depending on where you are or what event will actually still allow minors in without serving them, so they could technically interact. My first concert was at an all ages show in a bar as a teenager.

Additional irony is, that behavior is condemned while any sort of orchestrated labor union in the industry is met with resistance at every turn.

Your employers, even as competitors dealing with monetary counts in billions, try to unionize (aka collusion). Stop pretending businesses are looking after your best interests. Chances are, if the business supports something, unless your goals align on that thing with the business, you probably want to do the opposite. Compensation maximization and labor expense minimization are nearly orthogonal.

I suppose that if it were possible, it would be very heavy, and could break the very structures it tried to preserve.

I wonder if injecting large amounts of CO2 or N2 inside the structure would be feasible.

Water-soluble foam, which is much lighter weight and easier to produce in large volumes, is also known to be used to contain large fires, especially of oil / fuel.
In one Scientific American article, the top contender for the building which would remain longest if people suddenly disappeared would be the bottom pillars of the St. Louis Arch. Reinforced concrete sheathed in stainless steel. The central arch is just steel, so it would corrode and collapse faster. The remaining pillars would persist for many thousands of years just on their own.

I got some stuff in the mail, and eventually two checks for the two phases. I think they were something like $1100 and $7000.

I was kind of annoyed because the initial settlement was apparently so embarrassing that the _judge_ rejected it, something like $330M on supposedly $3B in lost wages. So they went back and increased it to the $435M, still nowhere close to what it should have been. Of course at this point the lawyers' incentives and the class' incentives are not aligned at all, so that's how it ended.
I agree, it amazes me how far you can regress down the rabbit hole of how closely tied we are all together. After the things you listed there's raw materials mining, power grid, education systems. If any one thing stopped, the whole system falls apart. It really is amazing what a bunch of barely evolved apes can accomplish when we work together across time, families, cultures, and nations.
They are generally called air tankers and are typically used on forest fires and brush fires.

Unprecedented tragedy. It is also a tragedy of French people who have become rooted in the society that is far far from perfect. It's a society that is entrenched in special interests, arbitrary rules, bogus leaders, and other numerous ills, such as anti-Semitism and general snobbery. They pretend that France is sophisticated, and yet they allow something like that to happen. Excuse me, but Dutch would do better job saving Amsterdam's red light district.

I'm hard pressed to imagine WordPress having login forms done in a JS Framework, and that's a big chunk of the web. If they are doing that, then you're right, it's totally unnecessary. But I'm guessing the folks at Automattic are optimizing this stuff for their clients (but I concede that I could be wrong here).

As far as blogs in these tech stacks, if they're developer blogs then that makes total sense. A dev blogging about React would probably choose React for their blog since that's a live production laboratory for any React code. I had a website in Ruby on Rails for years because I was a Rails dev and it was easy to try stuff out.

Are there any concrete stats on actual mismatch? Do we know how many recipe blogs are using Angular or React? My guess is their bloat is from tons of scripts and not from a developer using a tool that is wrong for the job. That bloat is at its heart a UI/business problem. Analytics, pop-ups, sharing links, referrals and that entire class of web objects IMO opinion are UI/business concerns, and they'll continue as long as folks find those things valuable.

How many of those doing the "building work" were Arabs? Asking for a friend.
There are so many great "alternative" instruments out there, and some quite affordable. Most of these are really easy to pick up and play after only a few minutes to a few hours of practice. Some of my favourites: The Korg Kaossilator series [I own about 4 of these now]. Korg Monotron Delay. Yamaha Tenori-on. Omnichord. Deerhorn organ [I don't own this but have seen a few videos of it]. Werkbench [iPad app].

My favourite thing is to sit on long train/plane journeys with headphones just "noodling around" on a Kaossilator. It's a shame it's a battery eater though...
> Paying to get in is pretty much the definition of capitalism

It's not. Paying to get in like this is depriving not only OP but more importantly, the intended beneficiaries of such schemes.

As the article points out, the total number of visas "may have easily claimed an entire year’s worth of visas issued under EB-5". Which leads to:

"The cap on visas also serves as a cap on available financing. If a project like Hudson Yards accounts for a whole year’s worth of EB-5 visas, it also consumes a year’s worth of financing meant for projects in low-opportunity places."

What about the 'payment' that generations of residents of Harlem made? If this was done fairly, neither the residents of low-opportunity places nor OP would feel slapped.
They are using water to put out the fire, though.
Yes, but the water sprayed from those tankers isn't much more intense than a severe downpour plus wind. The branches aren't snapped off the trees they're sprayed on here and people are standing right inside it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87hfWatbVPY

I'm comparing strong rain to water plane spray. Maybe the output of some would be too severe, but clearly some are suitable.

There isn't a better, more effective solution. Maybe 25 years ago, but it's almost certainly too late now. [0] Even if we cut emissions to 0 tomorrow using magic, the ice caps would continue melting from the CO2 we've already released.

That said, it's still worth it to keep emphasizing the fact that things are going to continue getting worse for the environment. Otherwise, people will be shocked, angry and outraged and societal upheaval and violence are likely to result. Already, you see people are upset about the wildfires in California, or the influx of migrants from the global south.

It would be doubly sad (though perhaps some would call it poetic justice) if we lost our civilization as a consequence of destroying our ecosystem.

It proves you can effectively firefight with water from a plane without even snapping tree branches, thus there'd be no reason the same pressure couldn't be used on a building.
Correct, if you know it is public exposed. Our team had a private repo which we wanted to make open source inside our company without exposing the secrets stored there. In our case BFG saved us a lot of trouble and we could get this feature out quickly instead of postponing it while waiting to rotate all keys.

While true, one should keep in mind that preservation is ultimately a futile endeavor. Nothing last forever. And yes, obviously that statement also applies to human life, but I'm certainly not going to judge anyone for refusing to endanger themselves for a painting.

Why not "all the time"?
Whatever the cause might be, the fact remains that for some reason many impoverished people don't prepare the meals economists imagine they would. Calling this "raw ignorance" is a non-explanation. To say nothing of education and knowledge, impoverished people are also often dealing with an incredible number of problems spanning mental health and social issues, and it's not hard to imagine how these problems might individually or collectively keep a person from doing something so apparently simple.
Banks will often have multiple BIN's[1] assigned to them. When I was last in the industry ~10 years ago, it was typical to use the BIN to identify specific types of card within an institution, so it wasn't uncommon to see a single institution with multiple BINs.

Something like that could be used to filter out such cards, if they were assigned a unique BIN by the bank. As to whether anyone actually _does_ that, I don't know.

[1] The BIN is the first six digits of your card number. It identifies the originating bank, among other things: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bank-identification-num...

Airtankers, waterbombers, and air attack are all common terms used to refer to aerial firefighting. I can't imagine this is something unique to North America but both the United States and Canada employ planes and helicopters to drop water and fire retardants on forest fires in remote areas where conventional firefighting equipment cannot reach.

We also have a form of firefighter called a Smoke Jumper that's the equivalent of a Paratrooper for fighting fires. They're deployed in these remote areas to clear out areas ahead of fires to constrict or redirect fires.

How about:

"Concatenative programming style emphasizes function composition over function application. Complex operations are composed from many simpler operations, and the actual program input or state does not need to be referred to explicitly. Often, these composed operations resemble a data flow or pipeline, where the implicit input is passed along to each operation in sequence."

> Mathematicians messed up here… A manifold with boundary is not a manifold. But a manifold is a manifold with boundary (the empty set).

It depends on which mathematicians!
