Thanks!

A bit of friendly advice: voting on HN is a stochastic process, and by the time I saw this comment, it had already been upvoted many times. This is one of the reasons the guidelines ask not to comment on voting (but not the most important reason).

I have trouble with this too! A sort-of-obvious trick: instead of discussing whether something should be downvoted, say you upvoted it and why. "I upvoted this, because every cafe I've visited fills third party cups too" says the same thing without litigating the vote, and also emphasizes the new information you're adding.

SNOOT MODE OFF!
Aww, this is really nice of you. I can't relocate at the moment, but this is heartwarming.
Great in theory, but sounds like a good way to be targeted by the police.
I pay close attention to precipitation forecasts due to the nature of my job. In the midwest, National Weather Service forecasts up to seven days out are reliable and useful. If the NWS says there will be a rainstorm in a week, there usually is one and vice versa. The quantitative aspect of the forecasts is less accurate. It is common to see a small storm become a large one or for a scary storm to fizzle.

This is the page that I check every morning: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/qpf2.shtml
Yeah, these seem to get less filthy than Yeti tumblers. For those who tend to take small sips at regular intervals, insulated is the way to go.
CoreAudio round trip latency can be under 5ms.
My understanding was that the decision was made to quit touring because they were exhausted by it, not because there were some constraints on what they could record such that it could be reproduced live. But once the live show was a non-factor, it freed the band from that onerous constraint and opened up the possibility of the more densely layered multitrack recording and overdubbing. The result: a record that sounded nothing like anything before it and elevated pop music to a true art form. Some years later, Queen would take the multitrack recording and overdubbing to a further extreme with Bohemian Rhapsody, which they actually did perform live, albeit with the help of recordings.
If you are in the United States, you may be interested in the scientific forecaster discussions produced by your local NWS office. They provide more insight into forecast confidence and general regional dynamics. Theyre produced several times a day and are often quite fun to read.

Its amazing how far we have come in weather prediction. A few decades ago, 5-day forecasts did not exist and now we get 10-day forecasts that are reliable enough that we take it for granted.

In my experience, nothing beats getting the forecast straight from the horses mouth (NWS that is). Some companies are notorious for producing 30+ day forecasts, which cant have any meaningful levels of skill.

I never understood why NOAA/NWS didnt just create their own mobile app. I use Wx[0], which parses NWS data directly and can be found on f-droid.

That’s a really cool use of Picsum!

The old domain will keep working, but I’d encourage you to switch to the new one. It’ll save you a redirect as well :)

I'm genuinely interested in understanding what you have to say. It's difficult to understand though, since the only difference in our situations seems to be that you want to use plastic bags and I don't. When people are rebutting your arguments, I don't get the feeling that they don't want to understand what you are saying. Rather, I feel that they don't want to agree with what you are saying.

It is very possible that we are all missing something integral to your overall argument, but since all of your individual points have been rebutted, it seems that this thing has been unspoken.

It occurs to me that perhaps it isn't your argument that is falling on deaf ears. It's your feeling. Often times, when making an argument, it is hard to separate the two. If only I felt like you, then I would understand immediately. It's a thing that is hard, if not impossible, to put into words and so try as you might, it seems like nobody is able to understand. Indeed it seems like nobody wants to understand.

I suppose if I try to use my imagination, I can imagine a scenario where I would feel the way you seem to feel. Of course, this is not likely to be the same feeling that you actually have. I hope you will forgive me in that I am probably unable to achieve that. In trying, though, I hope it will provide you the sense that I'm not against you and that even if I disagree with you, I care about your feelings.

There have been many times when I have worked hard to get a system that works for me. Sometimes it's been just at the edge of my ability to achieve that system. I'm not good at everything in the world, unfortunately. In fact, I'm extremely bad at some things and even if I try as hard as I can, I can't maintain a level that would be normal for another person. You could say I am disabled in that sense... but it's not a disability that you can see. Nor is it a disability that you can write down on an application for aide. Honestly, I'm just bad at it. Other people can't understand why and so rarely, if ever, make any allowances for me.

In that environment, I get my system going that allows me to just barely pass the level that is tolerated in society and I have pushed myself to the absolute limit to achieve that system. But then... society changes and they ask me to change my system. I want to break down in shame and cry out, "I *can't do it!", but I know that nobody will understand because it is a small thing for them. I don't know what to do because it is a burden I feel that I can't bear and yet nobody will help me.

If you are feeling that kind of thing, then perhaps I can understand. All I can do is to pass on my support. Probably you'll be surprised that a lot of people feel this way about certain things, but owing to the aforementioned shame, they are reluctant to talk about it (or often even admit it to themselves).

Even if I got this totally wrong, I hope it will make you feel better that somebody tried to understand.
Those solutions all require additional hardware - hardware that's far more expensive than an on-board real-time clock and battery.
Using a Yubikey to Secure SSH on macOS (Simplified Version)
The most impressive thing to me is that this video, in all of its detail, only covers how to get the plane off the ground and back down---it doesn't even scratch the surface of where to go or how to tell where you are. Navigating planes of this era by dead reckoning seems terrifying.
Looking at the aesthetic, it seems like it's just another cultural shift towards faux apathy and cynicism in response to a preceding culture that tried too hard to be perfect. Just like grunge followed 80's consumerism and raw punk responded to overly produced sounds in the 70's, this is a reaction to the professional consumerization of instagram. If these looks succeed, they will be copied, taken mainstream, and made nauseating until new "young people" respond with opposite styles again. Round we go.

> Markdown in IRC?

No, Markdown in Slack, Discord, etc.

> Chat messages shouldn't be longer than a tweet

Says who? You?

You're not the arbiter of how people should choose to communicate. Aside from that, there are good situations on Discord and Slack where messages tend to be longer, such as announcements, lists of rules, when posting code blocks, giving detailed explanations, etc.

> If you need formatting then you're writing a document, not chatting

Again, says who? People have had formatting in instant chat for years, in AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, etc. People can use formatting to provide emphasis, to separate code blocks, etc.

Even IRC supports basic bold text blocks.

> There we agree you need another service for that

No, we don't agree. Why should you need an external service for that? Why send people out of the discussion to an external website, a needless interruption of the flow?

There may be times when that's appropriate, but a chat service, something that's inherently about conversations and keeping things in context, no longer needs to mandate this. There are no technical restrictions to this as there were in the 80s and 90s. If people want to share a snippet in the conversation, they should, and now can, do so.

Same goes for images, videos, etc.

> Good communication starts with choosing the appropriate tool

People have found the appropriate tool, have flocked to it in droves, and are quite satisfied.

It's only old-fashioned IRC-clinging fuddy-duds who think there's still any question about this. Everybody else is getting on quite productively and happily.
My notes on setting up a Yubikey to keep private SSH key on it. There were a bunch of existing guides, but non covered everything or had extra steps that aren't necessary.
I think you hit the nail on the head with the purposeful choice of infidelities.

It goes beyond photography too. For example, I like producing electronic music as a hobby, and one of my favorite VSTs is RC-20 Retro Color (https://www.xlnaudio.com/products/addictive_fx/effect/rc-20_...) which intentionally adds tape noise, wobble, flutter, and dropouts; things that audio engineers painstakingly labored over avoiding and removing only a couple of decades ago.

Yesterday's distortions and imperfections are today's character and color.
> Who wants to pick a fight with a giant well funded army?

History is littered with modern examples.

The US Colonies (British Empire). Latin America (Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, British, French). The Viet Cong (US, France). Finland (Russia). Iraqi resistance groups (US). The Taliban, Mujahideen (US, Russia). North Korea (UN). Ukraine (Russia). Hezbollah (Israel). Yugoslavia (NATO). Emus (Australia).

Every giant well funded army has also lost at some point. For China, it's ideal to remove Taiwan as a staging ground that could be held by any opposition. Consider a scenario where it's NATO countries + Japan + South Korea + Taiwan, + Australia + New Zealand vs China in a massive conflict (or any similar variation). It would be far better to wholly control the island of Taiwan than not.
We switched over from our old NodeJS backend to a new Go backend recently, and gave the website an overhaul as well, things were a bit shaky during the transition.
This wasn't a microclimate issue. I'm pretty darn sure the conditions at the station simply could not have been so radically different. And re: forecasts, if I had just looked at the weather to see if I needed an umbrella that evening I would've concluded "yes" if I had looked at 2pm and "no" if I looked at 3pm. Sometimes they do get it right, but other times they're just literally useless.
Love is not possessiveness , attachment , emotion , feeling , hormonal activity , marriage , having kids and family, dependency , self-sacrifice , romance .

True love is the state of your mind in which there are zero conflicts , no violence , just a light a joy you want to share . This sharing is called Love . I have found something and i wanted to share it, this sharing is called Love. Love is your own internal condition/state . It's not at all something to do with the other person . Love is not like you got someone , it's "You found yourself" .
Yes it is a cultural problem and as we all know they are the hardest to overcome. If we want to make headway we need to start somewhere else and work on culture in the background. In Germany the pfand system has been working well for years. In Berlin you leave your bottle on the side walk and someone who needs the money can collect it to return it. It's a small act of charity that people regularly engage in. I believe it's the same in NYC from what I saw when visiting?
Upper midwest here. Hourly predictions are accurate more often than not, and a few days out is chancey.

Big storms are often exaggerated, though I suspect that's because the risk of flooding, ice and other hazardous travel conditions are serious enough to be overly cautious.

We had predictions for major snowfalls a few times, and every time was completely overblown, and then one hit exactly as predicted. Definitely glad I wasn't on the road that evening.

Your tone and language gives me the impression that you aren't that clever.
I have to think about what you are saying. We are coming to the info with different expectations.

I'm not immediately sure how to make the hierarchy more visible with this data. The source data has no single entrypoint except arbitrarily chosen, and can be (or seem, practically) infinite in all directions, with arbitrary relationships at any point -- maybe something like a very large wiki with a different internal structure (more at http//:onemodel.org ). A structure could maybe be chosen for presentation purposes though. But the "article" you refer to was made as an exception and is not the way information in my ~"knowledge base" is typically structured. Each page I see as not a document but as an entity with properties and also a set of references to whatever else relates. More about my outline comments elsewhere in this discussion, where I can export chunks of it as individual outline documents, to some # of levels from any point, but conceptually it does not lend itself to paragraphs or documents, as much as ideas and relations. I'm not explaining it as well as I'd like -- again, there is more at that web site about the intentions of my software that this comes from. It's like a big mind map (with future plans to hang more data and code, on all the nodes.)

Or maybe each page could be seen as a paragraph, broken into bullets which each can link to details on that thing, if someone is interested. Or it is a set of topic sentences, with contents underneath each sentence or link being the full paragraph, for the interested -- like where I wrote in this discussion about enabling skimming.

I don't want to stifle discussion, if you have questions or more suggestions that can in some way account for the above, or improve on it... Thanks.

> I do think that the reaction that they are impossible to drink from is more than a little silly, though. Maybe if you leave the straw in the drink for many hours it will collapse on you? I haven’t tried that.

I've had some paper straws that were okay. But I've had many that were soggy within 15 or 20 minutes? Particularly straws in milkshakes. But I suspect doesn't help that I'm in Florida – the high humidity means paper straws probably have a higher moisture content than other places, just by virtue of being in this environment. So it takes less absorption from the drink to make them loose structural integrity and start to collapse.
Good to know; thanks.
Businesses use tension metrics to make sure that their primary KPIs are still working, like new users signed up vs user retention after 180 days (to prevent the marketing department from going all in on unsustainable user “growth”).

Perhaps we should do the same with GDP, since as income inequality grows it can continue to grow while suffering increases

This is going to be a real problem and it is hard for small sites to tackle this. I have simple service (https://liveformhq.com) which allowed users to sign up for an account with a free 1 month trial and it didn't ask for your credit card upfront. Everything was fine until a few months ago when people started signing up and setting up phishing forms (I had the registration form behind recaptcha). At the end I had to move the credit card form to the front to stop these bad actors (and even after this I had 1 guy set up a phishing form which I promptly shut off after an abuse report). The amount of effort spent to handle bad actors is really a terrible thing for the current SaaS apps. And, it ends up making the UX for the good users bad :(
You’re entitled to your opinion. Please check out the featured sites on homepage. All of them with the exception of some Pro sites (which get 1GB) were made with only 1MB of storage.

Both Tesla and SpaceX are completely awesome. Having developed one of those businesses would be a huge accomplishment, having developed both is something beyond.

Musk has shown some paranoia, and some bad behavior on Twitter.
Interesting... do you see the NWS forecasts being more accurate then Weather.com/Weather Underground? It always felt to me like the former was (basically/effectively) a low-pass-filtered version of the latter, not actually any more accurate, but I have't really compared them that carefully.
Yeah when it was on the ballot I referred to it as the Aristocracy Act. You can inherit the Prop 13 tax advantage. And when you die your heirs also inherit it. Forever.
Probably because the article specifically addresses this issue and C99 specifically initializes any members who are not named in the initializer form to either zero or NULL.

One could argue that tying it to the value of the property (or owning property AT ALL!!!) is not great either. Why do renters not pay taxes? Sure, they're "property taxes" so from that angle it makes sense, but really they're taxes to run the city. Renters can vote and decide policies just like owners do, but they only indirectly pay for what they get (the landlord pays it from their rent).

My house being more expensive than next door's doesn't mean Im a bigger burden on the city. The only reason it kinds of sortoff make sense is as a proxy to income.

So why not just have everyone pay taxes based on residency (those who get to vote and receives city services), like we do for federal/state taxes? And if someone owns property and don't live there (investment), then their burden should be from it being an investment and be kind of unrelated.

Only (albeit significant) hiccup is maintenance of the property and the responsibility of the owner via the city.

I do a number of outdoor activities and I think forecasting has become very reliable, with the caveat that precise precipitation amounts and timing can vary over a short distance. If you are concerned about rain in the next couple of hours, take a look at the radar maps, and see if the situation is shaping up as predicted.
Since you're just getting downvoted -- the article is arguing that the aesthetic of Instagram photos is changing from manicured tableaux to candids (albeit, it seems, pretty staged candids), not that the platform itself is changing.

It is very possible that we are all missing something integral to your overall argument

If you will read my comments more closely, you might realize that I'm usually not making an argument. It's other people who turn it into an argument.

My first comment was merely an observation, not an argument. The fact that most people here are framing it as an argument to be won is precisely the problem.

It is possible to talk to someone with no goal of proving a particular point. It's called conversation. When done right, it can add information to the system that improves decision making.

But that can't happen as long as the entire fucking world sees a different experience and different point of view as a threat to their precious status quo that must be shot down before it has any hope of taking root.
