Get a non-techie android owner off Google, even for just a week. I dare you. No search, No Maps, No calendar, No search, No gmail, No YouTube, no drive, no docs.

Do you really think they can function? Even if they switch to Apple they still have to interface with calendar and gmail to function in society.

Can they even avoid sites hosted by Google?

You make it sound like it's all easy choices. "Just don't buy brand X."

These companies are so large and so ingrained the the web and modern society that they are unavoidable.
You joke but this is actually a growing sentiment. Schools across the USA are eliminating more and more liberal arts requirements as universities become more like glorified "coding bootcamps".

Topspin is free for academic users for a while now, so that has changed at some point.

And while it's certainly possible to process 1D NMR spectra with a bit of code, it's certainly more than 5 lines. There's stuff like removing the digital filter that is an implementation detail of Bruker spectrometers you have to deal with. The FFT is the smallest parts, you also need window functions and phasing to make something useful. And for 2D NMR you additionally need to handle the various methods of quadrature detection in the indirect dimension.
but shouldn't you? At this very moment I vaguely remembered that I came across an offline reader of web pages, but for the life of me I can't remember where I found that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It depends on the school. For Harvard, my understanding is, that it’s required to stay in a dorm and there are limited spaces.

There are awesome resources like Khan Academy that have unlimited spots. But with top schools there are limitations to size based on teachers, city spaces, etc.

University is a finite resource.

Exactly. It seems like all Apple did was request videos taken down for copyright infringement. They never edited their own video, and, last I checked, you could still even hear the audience's reaction to the stand. All they did was try to protect copyright of their videos, and look what happens. Some people love to hate Apple.
I know that the answer is in there but it seems like he is trying to make it confusing... since it appears that he already did the math and didn't post the numbers with the same units. But thank you.
Ya, on my reading for english classes I'd do that for my reading assignments. For my engineering and programming classes, i'd take copious notes. It was entirely wonderful. I'd stay at the store from open till close and enjoy all those hours.

But solar can be much more decentralised than nuclear. So comparing single plants by power doesn't seem fair to me, at the very least you also need to compare costs.

They also hollowed out the center of the store to create a Nook store-within-a-store, at least in most locations I know of.

A major independent store in Denver, Tattered Cover, dropped from being spread across 2 large floors down to 1 smaller floor, and I heard the once had 3 floors of the building they’re in. They seem to have focused on keeping the best books in stock though, subjectively speaking. But a decent part of that space is also coffee shop, periodicals, etc as well. I think they also lost any space for authors to come do readings.
I can't help but notice the absence of minorities on this website.

Edit:

Like it or not, people of different colours bring culture and a welcoming variation to a city. I get it, the French are minorities in Lithuania but you're nitpicking, being ignorant and missing the point.

There are 12 picture with exclusively white people. Why would any who isn't white want to move there is that's the only group represented.
> It would be nice if package managers would not only support 2FA, but make it available via metadata the uploader and whether the uploader used 2FA.

2FA is an authentication method (akin to asking for a password, albeit a special one). It's not a digital signature.

I grab them with a control-D to a collection I call Alpha. When I have a little time, I right click Alpha and 'open all', which opens them all in tabs. I then view them one at a time, going incognito for some paywalls, and failing to see some paywalls. Those I want, remain in Alpha, others I delete from Alpha. If a site is paywalled and I am able to find a way to defeat the paywall and like it, I keep it.
Currently Alpha is at 43, when I get to 50 that I want to keep, I will start a 'beta'.

I moved to Vilnius from Sweden four months ago and enjoying it a lot so far. A lot of the things from the website are true - low costs (I pay 500e for 2-rooms in city center), very safe city, lots of green. Can get anywhere within 30 min and I walk to work every day. Working in here might be a pay cut but the low costs make up for it. Tech is much more well-compensated here than other industries.

My perception is that Lithuania (and Baltics in general) is suffering a lot more for its reputation than it should. Society has developed very quickly the past 10 years and the reputation doesn't reflect today's reality here.

>You could look at the project's bug tracker, but the number of bugs in it will reflect a project's popularity more than anything else.

It's a numbers game, if we look at a lot of projects written in a lot of different languages, we'll see a sample of projects with different kinds of popularity. If there is a trend associated with a particular language that's an outlier that would be an indication that the particular language may play a role.

>And of course, all of that is data about known defects, and fixed (presumably) defects in the case of commits - how do you compare the number of unknown defects?

Again, it's about trends. If you look at thousands or millions of projects these things average out across them. You can even group projects into different categories based on their domain, popularity, and so on. The underlying idea is that you should be able to see measurable trends when looking at large numbers of projects across languages. If such trends are established, then we can dig deeper and make a hypothesis as to what might be the cause.

>With electronics, you need an oscilloscope to see the magic. All I had was a VOM.

The price of test equipment is one of the reasons I went into software despite having an EEng degree. Tinkering with a computer is way cheaper, and I sort of gravitated towards stuff that had software in it, then ended up realizing that I don't really care about electronics all that much. The degree served well for getting a job in writing firmware, I guess.

It would be an important factor when choosing a language obviously. If language A allows you to deliver same kinds of projects as language B, but with less people that's valuable information for the business.
I was playing the original comments for laughs, but the MH haggadah is want I want out of a haggadah and am I fairly sad that it or something nearly identical doesn't exist anymore.

I don't want huge swaths cut out; I like the archaic English (the Hebrew is archaic); I don't want little asides about how the story of the exodus rings true today because it's just like the Jews stuck behind the iron curtain or apartheid South Africa or oppressed racial minorities in the US.

I just want more or less the same haggadah that my ancestors used with a translation so I can follow along in a language I understand. If we aren't getting a lot of value out of a discussion of how and an extra comma means one hundred plagues at the red sea, we can choose to skip that part ourselves.

Where I live, on one day in the year, people could put their bulky junk in front of their houses for it to be collected[1]. Lots and lots of radios and TVs. For my friends and me it was the yearly electronics component delivery;-). At that time the devices often had a pouch inside that contained the schematics. I learned a ton from that.

I also enjoyed the stories from Feynman how he tinkered around with radios bought at rummage sales. I think they are in "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" but there is also a recording where he recounts those times in person[2].

Those tools suck. Nobody who's not working in an environment saturated with volatile hydrocarbons should be using them. Seriously, they might as well be made of butter compared to normal steel tools. Seriously. 0/10. Do not recommend. I guess the hammers are ok though since they're basically just a metal lump.

Your title is confusing. I was expecting this to be a tool which helps generate PDF files which will be formatted nicely for mobile consumption. Instead it appears to be a search engine for research documents.

While in certain circles referring to these as PDFs might make sense, PDF is a file format. Being more explicit in your branding will help get the right people to find your application.
Yes.

Neal Stephenson don't have the tech expertise or skills to pull that off.

Stephenson used concepts of digital currency in his books, but those matched the concepts of late 90's and 2000s, like DigiCash and eGold.

Steel tools on concrete can definitely make sparks. I assume it requires the aggregate in the concrete to be hard or the concrete to be very old and therefore hard. I’ve noticed this when breaking up concrete at night, a horrible chore.

Linux Privilege Escalation exploiting sudo rights – devconnected
I'm not sure this 20yr old editorial from 20yrs ago has aged well.

TL;DR: The extreme customization of X (window system) is essential, "one size does not fit all", WIMP (windows, icons, menus, pointing) are not the future, audio is.

If anything, we've seen the opposite: consistency wins, consistently. It's Apple's core strategy (remember the "gasp" around the idea phone Apps have to be approved?). Google spends enormous effort on promoting consistent design in its open ecosystem.

In other words: it's less important that an upper-right "X" means "dismiss/close", and it's more important that it's consistent. (At least if you want mainstream use).

Otherwise, "audio is becoming more common", is slowly happening. And, "there should be little or no difference between local ... and Web" -- absolutely!
What do you mean by "minorities"? Do you mean "non-white" people? If so, then sure, but most of eastern Europe is fairly homogeneous in terms of skin color.

I take argument, and actually some offense to your comment because there could definitely be maligned groups in the website. Polish people deal with discrimination in many parts of Europe even today, and Lithuania has a history of this (read about the Lithuanization of the Polish). I have Polish ancestry and have been in situations where I've been told to keep quiet to avoid problems.

Skin color doesn't always show the battles that people fight against discrimination every day.
"Main minority groups include Poles 234,989 (6.7%), Russians 219,789 (6.3%), Belarusians 42,866 (1.2%), Ukrainians 22,488 (0.7%) and Jews 4,007 (2001 census data)."

So, how did you figure out from the photos that those people are not among Lithuanian minorities?
Ask HN: Are there any good SwiftUI tutorials yet?

Not too surprising. Organizations expect loyalty of their members, and particularly of their more senior members. Open protest, such as organizing a walkout, is an act of disloyalty, so it's not surprising that Claire suffered for what she did. She's lucky, I suppose, that she wasn't kicked out right after the walkout.

Definitely. If you're willing to constrain consumption when required and work again if you have to, things change. Especially if you continue to work just enough in your professional field during early retirement that you can go back to earning an appreciable fraction of your previous earnings on a temporary basis if/when required.

Renewables meet the traditional concept of base load while generation is sufficient. This can be the situation often, or just occasionally depending on how many wind and solar facilities are present.

Renewable oversupply can already be economically stored for daily cycle purposes with 4 to 8 hour battery banks. If longer term storage is not developed, biomatter and synthetic fuels can run thermo-electric generators on the occasions that renewable supply falls short of demand.
Who leaves a mouse on a glue trap until it dies? That's messed up! I can hear when a mouse is on those things and at that point I carry the frightened mouse outside, pour a cap full of vegetable oil around it's feet and it frees itself, running off into the yard, then the trap goes in the trash. Heinously cruel? Only if you're a lazy shit.
No, you either have to distribute the source with the binary, or provide an offer to ship the source upon request. You don't have to do both. (See section 3)

>If a developer gets booted then it’s probably because the developer didn’t do something that was in the best interest of the user.

This is not true with Apple. They often ban superior apps to force their users to use Apple's inferior apps.

Once you understand this, you will be able to understand that this isn't pro-user at all. This is giving Apple control, and making it harder to switch in the future.
I'm actually finding the opposite. This is mapping very nicely to Rust. But of course not as nicely as it would if I could encode things as lambda terms in the language itself. I'm currently working on an impl of Fn for the Expression. Maybe it'll work out.

This code isn't really meant to be an easily digestible read. I don't make much effort to explain the church numerals for example, I just show that it works with a few tests.

I personally find a lot of good FP principles come into play in Rust quite frequently.
> Plus, things like cars were still hackable with a few transistors and passive components, you could make a customised indicator timer, or turbo timer or what ever, and it was probably way cheaper if you knew what you were doing.

I nodded when I read this, thinking, "Yeah, and what's the modern equivalent?" Everything seems so high level and complex, like CANBUS in the case of car, USB for PCs and of course so much is locked down.

Then I realised that kids could get a start sticking an LED on a GPIO pin from an Arduino. I believe a PI is basically a PC, but perhaps it could have a few such pins as well, if it doesn't already. PCs used to have parallel ports which served a similar function.

Then from blinking a LED they could incrementally add a few more circuits: 7 segment display, some counters, who knows. Even some analog stuff (to hell with harmonics) are possible -- and controllable from your laptop or phone over network.

Perhaps Evel Mad Scientists or Adafruit has a few things in this direction?
I think that https://notion.so worth a try.
A slow plane is vastly quicker than any ground based transport so speed is not absolutely vital, 300 mph is not breaking the sound barrier but it is 100 times quicker than being stuck in a traffic jam.

I think the shape looks right rather than odd, in particular the bulbous rather than elongated body. Plus with the straight wings this looks well optimised for low skin friction.

Experience of VW rear engined vehicles tells me there are advantages in having the engine at the back when it comes to noise. I thought the reasons we had the propeller at the front was to have it cool the engine and have the centre of gravity 'right'. This just looks right compared to what has gone on before.

Looking right is not necessarily what you want, we have been stuck too long on what a fast plane should look like. But there is something in aesthetics when it comes to these matters.

Seeing the runway is not necessarily that important, I would prefer a plane that does all the landing itself with no assistance needed. It is not as if a regular jet pilot can see the wheels of the plane when landing.

Not the kind of link I’d expect on hacker news.

I’ve used glue traps once, wouldn’t use it again after seeing what happened to the mouse. I went back to the old school spring traps, which are also cheap.
So Lithuania is cheap and all, but the website and the job offers clearly fail to mention how much you get paid.
Also, of course living in the city center of Vilnius is cheap, but compared to a similar 500k pop city in let's say Germany* and adjusted for the wages, it's absolutely not special. Plus the lower absolute wage will be a problem when you want to retire in a western European country.

The financially smartest (IMHO) way is to live in .lt when you have a remote job/contract.

* I pulled up numbers about Nuremberg which has roughly the same population, average income and average apartment costs are, relatively speaking, the same. However as mentioned above you will safe less towards retirement in absolute terms, limiting your choices later on.
I rescued a chipmunk from a glue trap while walking my dog last week. They really are inhumane. It's 2019, we should be better than this.
For some kinds of retail businesses I do expect one price independent of the location within the country. Not for groceries, of course, but I do expect consistent pricing in Zara or Ikea.
