Well, that's sort of good news then, you're reducing power density by what, 2-3 orders of magnitude? So much less likely to cause permanent damage.

Edit: not sure why people are downvoting. If the point source is spread by diffracting through the window, count of photons per unit area is reduced in proportion to the square of the difference in radius from, say, an inch or so, depending on the spread of the beam with distance, to a large enough cone to apparently light up the cockpit. Which means a 1mW laser goes from ≈1mW/in^2 to ≈.01mW/in^2 if the cone spreads to a diameter of 10 inches by the time it hits the pilot's eye.

One of the things I really like about Applescript is that, at least for simple tasks, the code reads as standard english. This isn't to say you can type anything in english and Applescript will interpret it, just that the correct syntax also happens to form real sentences.

Here is how I tell QuickTime to play NPR:

set WNYCAddress to "http://www.wnyc.org/stream/wnyc-fm939/aac.pls"
tell application "QuickTime Player" to open URL WNYCAddress

Here is how to tell if the file you've highlighted in Finder is on a specific drive:

set theNameOfTheDrive to "Archive"
tell application "Finder" to set theSelectedFile to the target of the front Finder window as text
if theSelectedFile starts with theNameOfTheDrive then log "that file is on the right drive!"

Unfortunately, it all starts to break down when you get to more complicated stuff, but in the right situations it's kind of beautiful. I wish Apple had taken it a bit further...

I would argue that for most people the ritual is much more important. Because, again, we’re not robots, traditions are deeply important to us, and some kind of send-off, be it burial, cremation, Viking burial, etc is part of the grieving process. It may not be important to some, but if you find yourself wondering “why do cemeteries get good real estate”, that’s why.
A better analogy is that one of your star players (ice sheet stability) maybe isn't as good as you thought he was (turns out snow accumulation > surface melting is not the whole picture) and has some major potential weaknesses (marine ice sheet instability and marine ice cliff instability) which you probably really need to investigate or you might be losing in the big game.

I meant the vendor is too dense to understand that it's a problem when it's working according to their shitty design.

I think so too. A garbage truck when loading is likely only making 5mph if that. 56 miles then is ~10 hours. Thing that would eat miles is the distance between the service area and the transfer station.
"How do you even start building an OS?"

The VOC and EIC were always run by civilians who were primarily after profit and obeyed the laws of the Dutch and English state. They were no more operating beyond the reach of law than ExxonMobil is.

I think this is an impressive achievement, and certainly something I could never do. But I'm a little disappointed in the state of desktop operating systems these days. I don't see any innovation. Every OS is just splashing chrome on the same WIMP paradigm that's been available to consumers for 35 years.

Maybe I'm looking for the equivalent of a flying car, but I wish someone would come up with an OS, or even just an OS feature that makes people say "wow!"

Old cemeteries are de facto parks in cities that grow up around them. They're quite nice and a decent use of land in areas that don't have the sort of pressing housing needs that SFBA has.
90s kid, you’re both wrong. OSX was a forreal big deal. Would google or Apple have built smartphones on FOSS OSes without an OSX? Music has definitely blown up and gone full post modern though. You can probably get an endless stream of whatever sound floats your boat for 10$/ month. Or free.

> Because you can put the energy required to level a city in the back of a pickup truck

Yes, we can already do this, it's called a fusion bomb.

> then level a city with it using the same technology has a hypothetical fusion reactor possible

No, a bomb is not the same as a fusion reactor. A bomb burns a megaton of TNT's worth of fusion fuel all at once. A fusion reactor outputting a gigawatt of power burns the same amount of fuel in about a year. It's not at all the same thing.
I don't understand this "we're not robots, it's ok if we act irrationally" argument. While it's correct, it doesn't justify irrationality. If it could, you could justify anything with this. You could say it doesn't matter if God exists, humans are not robots and we want to believe in it so we do. Sure, if that's what you want, more power to you, but your argument is not convincing. I visit my dead family's grave but that doesn't mean this is an inalienable part of human experience. It's just culture, like eating yogurt with sugar vs salt.
Well, yes and no.

Actually, for US public companies, about 60% of value (common stock) is owned by individual citizens, including beneficial ownership through mutual funds. Everyone with a bit of retirement savings. And that proportion is actually increasing, as institutional money chases private asset classes.

The real democratic tragedy is that these retail investors never vote (less than 11% of accounts vote at all). So results like this one are dominated by hedgefunds, who are the most vocal voice in the room. The big mutual fund managers often abstain, in large part because they don't know how their constituents want them to vote.

So there is actually a big democratic opportunity -- the public owns the majority public companies, and has the ability to hold them accountable to public interests. If only people would pay attention. Usually, people throw away their proxy voting cards.

To try and address this problem, I built this website, built around a simple online petition UI (a la change.org) but which verifies your shareownership (via api to service like Plaid).

If we're going to lean more on PyPI, it would be nice to clean it up some. There's a lot of cruft that makes it very hard to find the right module to use to write a new project with. And it would be nice if package naming convention were more standard, and suggested extending existing modules rather than writing entirely new ones. If you want HTTP functionality, you use the "requests" package, which uses urllib3. Why not io::net::http::client, extending io::net::http, and so on?
It's refreshing to do so much with just a CSS framework and no JS (optional JS in this case). And for someone with a bad eye for design like me it's quite handy to use something like this to get a nice looking site up quickly.

The study doesn't say did they controlled for a clothing of a participant.

I (not a mod, just your a regular HN user) think it's perfectly fine to post your own content. As long as you don't spam it, and you don't post over-flattering headlines for it. And definitely way better than posting your content under a guise of an "unafilliated" friend. It will reach the front page and stay here only if it's good, so who cares if it came straight from the wolf's mouth.

Also pretty creepy that people go down post comments history to check who it is and where you 're coming from. Eh.
> But anecdotally at least, when compared to mountain bikers and hikers, trail runners are the least likely to volunteer to build and maintain trails.

Anecdotally. Okay.

More to the point: how much damage will a runner do to a trail compared to a mountain biker?

edit: I'm not sure why hn isn't letting me reply to you over fifty minutes after the fact but I don't believe individual behavior has much to do with it. I see serious damage to trails from bikes all the time (in a wet climate) and I'm not even sure what equally serious damage from a runner could even look like.

Even a split second of that bright flash is enough to make you lose your night vision and leave dancing squiggles all over your retina. Ever had someone's camera flash go off in a dark room? Now imagine that disorientation and loss of vision when you are in charge of several hundred tonnes of metal, plastic and glass containing 200+ souls hurtling towards ground contact.

At that point of the flight, the pilot's eyes are constantly jumping from a methodical scan of internal instruments to the runway and back. Anything that distracts or jeopardises that process can snowball into a big problem.

You are absolutely right about the benefits of mimicking existing UI paradigms. It saves so much time already knowing basically how I want things to look and work. And not having to worry as much about resources as people did in the past is a huge load off. (Although I do all my development with 128MB of RAM or less, because I enjoy that sort of challenge..)

Big Bang Theory has many flaws, but it is so far better than Steve Urkel or Screech.

Since the parser module is documented as deprecated since Python 2.5 and a new parsing technology is planned for 3.9, the parser module is scheduled for removal in 3.9.

I found an interesting tidbit about Rust "switching" from LL to LR here:

I wonder if those things motivated the switch? They certainly work though.
Maximum efficiency will occur when no humans are employed and all energy is produced and transmogrified for, and consumed by, retrofeudal neoaristocrats living lives of infinite leisure in their garden cloud paradise fortresses.

Free markets are neither entirely good nor entirely bad. Many things that we would consider to be intrinsic and inextricable parts of the human experience are things which cannot survive the relentless assault of unrestricted Darwinian competition.

A free market is a defect-defect equilibrium, and a defect-defect equilibrium is like fire. It's very powerful, and absolutely necessary; we wouldn't have what we have without fire, and we wouldn't even be human as we are without it, but we must be very careful that it doesn't escape the fireplace and burn the house down.

You ask what would "increase overall quality of life the most?" There are non-economic markets, as well. Mating, for instance. Until very recently it was highly monogamous and strictly regulated. And now it isn't. Winner-take-all.

I don't know where I'm going with this, except to say that our world is the direct product of decisions, our collective decisions... and the people who make them:

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
