I usually rent cars

It always make my day when a rental car has CarPlay. And a little sad when it doesn't. Mostly because cheap rentals rarely have their own sat-nav installed and being able to use the phone on an integrated screen/audio system is really nice.
This study has a sample size of three. Worth taking with a large pinch of salt.
Sounds bad - but is this a fair comparison?

Each cruise ship takes thousands of people all year round, who otherwise would go on holiday somewhere else (probably somewhere far away given the cost of a cruise). You need to do a total comparison of the pollution emitted by the cruise-style holidays vs going on long-haul holidays elsewhere and sum that up to see whether Carnival are really causing 10x more environmental problems than European cars.

I suspect they are but would rather see more valid comparisons that are harder to refute as the headline.
Yeah. Unfortunately. Imagine what we could accomplish if we just redirected some of this dumb money into "dumb" things...like education, infrastructure, health care, battling climate change. But nope, walls, drones, and tech bubbles.
1. China has been developing its own tech for years. Said theft helped make it happen.

2. Chinese developed products and services tend to be focused on the needs and uses of China, and receive little (but not insignificant) use elsewhere. US multinationals want everyone to use their stuff, and develop products and services with that in mind.
I'm dying to know: what's wrong with inches in CSS?
Alternatively, perhaps the big players just don't care. They're about making money NOW, not 2 months or 2 years from now.
The general idea is that if you tax or price in the cost of doing the bad thing, these companies will try to optimize those costs down for the good of their shareholders, which would be a win-win.

In the real world, you'll probably have a lot of cover up of this sort of thing, as the companies would find it cheaper just to not report they dumped pollution into the environment than to report it and have to pay for it. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/04/business/carnival-cruise-...
I am also pretty happy with WSL, but I'm even happier that I was able to get a mac at work lol.

Although I admit, sometimes the BSD toolchain poses some rather hilarious speedbumps. At that point WSL can be smoother? Weird.

Nature is a high impact factor, prestigious journal. It’s million sub-journals, like Nature Metabolism ... well, vary. A lot. They mostly coast on papa’s brand recognition.

Nature Endocrinology Reviews is a relatively ranking journal in endocrinology - roughly second place, by impact factor. This didn’t get published there.

Nature Metabolism was only opened in 2017, as an online-only journal. It doesn’t even rank in the top 50 for endocrine and metabolism journals - granted, that may be in part because it doesn’t even have an impact factor yet (calculating impact factor requires two years of publication history preceding the year being calculated for. In 2020, we should see a 2019 IF.)

So, one can say they might be enormously prestigious, and we just won’t see until 2020. It’s more likely that people aren’t bothering publishing their best articles in a 0 IF journal, because in academic circles the Nature Subbrand is recognized as not inherently meaningful, so the 0 IF pub just hurts (unless you think your pub would otherwise end up in an unimpressive journal, and you want to gamble that the future IF will be higher and pay off.)
Another Wind PTC Extension? No Thanks, Many in Industry Say
Who is the author of this blog? My searching hasn't been able to turn up a name.
How do you do that?

The preprocessor does macro expansion, the compiler compiles the result.

The compiler does not see FLAG_BIT1 ^ FLAG_BIT3, it only sees the result, e.g. 2^32.

Therefore to catch only explicit 2^32 the warning should come from the preprocessor... Nice mess created right there.
I'm watching this viciously accurate post get silently downvoted into oblivion.
I don’t know. The dose of broccoli you need to see clinical effects from the sulforaphane it contains is extremely high, but concentrated sulforaphane capsules are sold as a food supplement without needing to go through any FDA process.

What criterion does the FDA use to distinguish a food-derived chemical that needs to be treated as a drug, from one that’s still just seen as an extract/essence of the food itself, and therefore can be treated as a supplement? It seems very opaque to me.
What particular anti-aging effects do you regard? Are not improvements in mitochondrial health practical indicators of anti-aging as improvements in skin elasticity or bone strength?

Sure, I'm not claiming that the US media landscape is unified and doesn't include any dissenting voices. It's just that the super majority mostly agrees on the fundamentals, even if they don't on the details. The same is true for most politicians as well.

I don't believe that it's very different in other countries, it's just a lot less visible, because most countries don't have the same amount of power.
Depending on a country’s level of development, yes. In areas where child labor is prematurely banned, children are forced into more difficult and dangerous work, especially the sex trade.

In the west, effective bans on teenage labor leave gangs as the only employer.

But, in this case, we are talking about adults.
People are taking the wrong takeaway from the show. The point of Chernobyl(HBO) was not to show the dangers of Nuclear reactors, It was to show, The Lies, Politics and other disgusting elements can and will ruin lives of thousands of people.

Chernobyl was the result of lies and deception. Soviet Russia's wanted to be number 1 everywhere while completely disregarding how they got there, That is what led to Chernobyl.

People, Including the Doctor have taken it incorrectly in my humble opinion.

They even had a separate podcast where they discussed exactly this and more details related to the series in great detail. Look it up on Pocketcast or whatever app you use to listen to podcasts and you'll find it.
That is the single main state route into Hanover. So that sign is highly visible actually.

I hope this becomes more common. At least in sportier cars. I want some kind of tactile response that I can feel while driving so I can navigate a vehicles controls without ever taking my eyes off the road. I want physical buttons, knobs, dials and switches. If there is a display it should not be a touch display.

Hopefully I can find something of this sort to replace the 7" screen in my GT86.
>interpolated/in-betweened

That's the problem: no matter how smart your algorithm is, you cannot make animation look smooth by only adding frames. Not even human animators could do that.

The framerate of animation is irrelevant. What matters is the number of drawings per second, not the number of frames. An intelligent system would interpolate between drawings, which would often require modifying or deleting frames from the source.

I'm not some purist claiming that this is an evil technology. It just plain doesn't apply to animation, except for pans or the rare scene animated at a full 24 FPS.

Taxing them to recoup carbon emissions would only reduce air travel, not eliminate all carriers.

Say that it gets 5x or 10x more expensive, there would still be flights, just far less common. And maybe then something like biokerosene becomes cost effective, driving down costs more.

I'm gonna guess that they have very little to do with inches in the real world, and will in fact display at different lengths on different screens.
Once you combine them with storage and peakers, intermittent renewable sources do compete with other base load providers. It's still a work in progress, though.
Show HN: JavaScript+Tcl Remote REPL
I was recently working in extending the Tcl Duktape extension to support calling Tcl procedures from the JavaScript side -- the result is the unholy amalgamation of Tcl+JavaScript which actually turned out to work quite well. I slapped a REPL and then a WebSocket-based access layer onto it and it can be accessed remotely at:

https://rkeene.dev/js-repl/

All the Tcl commands are in the "runtime" object.

I have a 2018 Mazda CX-9 with the touchscreen. I almost never use the touchscreen, because there's a much more convenient scroll-wheel positioned in the center console and within my right hand's reach. There are also controls in the steering wheel for audio, phone and cruise control.
I agree that they need to be profitable in order for this to matter. If they were, it would help with local traffic too as people would still prefer to only have one app installed. In my city there is a concurrent company that pays taxes locally and almost all of the drivers work for both Uber and them. I still sometimes order rides through Uber because of habit.

I would never get used to how to remember the diameter of the earth. Now all I need to remember is how many km's are there in a nautical mile, get the length of the equator and divide it by pi. i.e. (360 x 60 x 1.85/3.14)
We know that iPhone enjoys a minority of smartphone market share, and we know that Lexus is the luxury brand and Toyota is the everyday brand. One assumes iPhone will be overrepresented among Lexus buyers and underrepresented among Toyota buyers. Therefore it would make very little sense for the Toyota brand to abandon Android users in favor of iOS users in the design of its dashboard systems.
One other reason is probably because inches is not a universal unit of measurement for computer graphic. Especially for someone who comes from country where inch is never used (like me), you need to mentally calculate the value to something more familiar.
Inconsistencies in the source file do not affect production worthiness in the moment, but they do affect maintainability down the line. If for instance your team wants to move to a new css preprocessor that's the next big thing in 10 years, a consistent style means you can programatically convert to the new syntax. Or maybe there's a tool that can help you write better css and detect where rules are unused -variable syntax will be sand in the gears for something like that. Mishmoshed syntax everywhere is a nightmare for programatic accessibility, though is excellent for simply trying things out.

I love stylus, don't get me wrong. I use it for all my projects - even in production. But if I were the head engineer of say, google.com, I wouldn't allow it in production for a codebase that large due to the potential for problems down the line.
The length of people's feet vary and so does the amount of land a yoke of oxen could plough in one day.
What about physical buttons for the more-used stuff (radio, AC, cruise control) and use voice control (along with physical buttons) for everything else?

Obviously, the voice control would need to havr some way to ignore the kids in the backseat, or can ask the driver / parent for permission for this to be a good idea.
You could say that Spain, Poland, and Hungary are controlling France's borders, since those countries (that I know of) that have land borders with countries outside the EU.
>I oppose banning anything

Why?
Care to elaborate a bit more? Where’s the exploitation?

Edit: typo
Of course it wasn't just about money, as fear of reprisal was obviously a concern.

But the entire reason slavery existed wasn't fear of black people -- it was to use them to generate wealth, and not just for the slave owners; slavery propped up the economy of southern states. If the slaves had vanished overnight via a magic trick, it would have affect the economy of country as a whole, and cratered it in the south.

You are dismissing the primary reason for the perpetuation of US slavery by repeatedly pointing to one factor that was a byproduct of slavery.
Which is tricky with shipping (cruises or otherwise), because they will often pick a flag of convenience (i.e. somewhere without the taxes).

You could add higher port fees, but how is that encouraging better technology? If anything it will just encourage ships/cruise lines to dock nearby and ship goods/people over land/air.

Taxes are fine if a business cannot float between countries. In this case the business can literally float between countries, and they'll avoid the taxes.

Interesting, I've never had an issue with WSL1 startup time. Meanwhile WSL2 startup time is supposed to be strictly greater due to its use of a VM. Maybe you have a configuration issue?

If he really didn't care what people thought, he wouldn't have told anecdotes and written books telling people how he didn't care what people thought about him. He wanted other people to think that he didn't care what other people thought.

In general, caring about what other people think is a good thing. The alternative is to be a sociopath.

The author teases Ira Barnett of Louisville, Kentucky ("He’s a pretty big wheel down at the cracker factory"), but he seems to be fairly self-aware:

> I don’t know as there is much in what we are doing to interest the public, except the price of the article, and, as I said before, that will remain unchanged.

Basically "I make crackers. Why are you talking to me?"
I think these kinds of headlines are very damaging to the perception of science. They often erase trust and make the public feel disengaged.
Yup, and all the Turn Off Telemetry toggles are all placebos. I think the only solace one can find from constant phoning home is with the LTSC version of Windows 10, but Microsoft makes it very inaccessible to a home user.

There's also a few custom installers/scripts that people have written to disable the telemetry via PowerShell that are floating around, but I think their up-to-date-ness varies from author to author.
I'm not an expert, but this doesn't look too credible to me:

- I know that many death estimates for Chernobyl are highly exaggerated, but sticking to the official Soviet death toll of 31 seems ludicrous.

- Lyudmilla Ignatenko existed in real life and there are interviews with her telling how they didn't let her hug her husband at the hospital due to radioactivity, and she had to hid her pregnancy to be let in. Of course she could be lying, but those would be strange lies to tell.

- If victims could not be radioactive, why were they buried in metal caskets covered in concrete? This is well documented an there are photos.

- Regarding the Ignatenko's claim that the foetus had somehow protected her from radiactivity by absorbing it, personally I never interpreted it as a statement that the show was claiming as true. I saw it as the character's own interpretation. The show portrays different characters with various degrees of ignorance, and no one in the show portrayed as knowledgeable defends that theory.

- There are photos of radiation victims from various incidents and they look not unlike what is seen in the series. Here are some (trigger warning, very graphic images): https://imgur.com/gallery/3x7RcLk#QrTJTm5

There may be things to criticize about the show but this person looks like he is telling a quite biased story.
I think that the proportion of iphone owners who use toyotas is similar to that of the general population, so leaving out android is unlikely to happen.
I don't disagree that there are some people who want to tax things out of existence but the purpose of taxes like this should be to in good-faith accurately measure the real cost of these externalities and price them accordingly.

The problem we're facing is that there's no clear consensus on what that cost is.
According to USA today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/science/2018/01/22/creat...), scientists want to spray Sulfur oxide into the atmosphere to stop global warming, so all I'm taking from this article is that we need to cruise more?
> why not take the much easier approach of putting them on the court for 2 minutes to see how they play?

If every basketball team did that, every player would practice for that 2 minutes of play and you'd have no idea if they would handle an entire game.

The effect is the same for developers: interviewing developers practice for coding tests; memorize common interviewing patterns, quick solutions, and junior level algorithm stuff from their university days.

If you were interviewing a player, you'd probably look to their past experience and teams they played on, their positions on the court, and you'd check with their teammates.
People were saying this 20 years ago during he dotcom boom, but they called it 'mind share' and 'the new economy'.

>Capital is Now Free, Have Fun

lol what. Credit card interest is higher than ever. Small business loans are still expensive. Yeah, maybe capital is cheap if you're a multinational or the us govt. but it's still expensive for most. Treasury bonds yields are not a proxy of how much business lending costs. Rather, a better estimate would be junk bond yields.

>One method of turning on the wipers in a tesla involves pressing an on-screen button

That's just one method. There's also a dedicated physical button right on one of the stalks at the steering wheel. Why spread such information without pointing out there is a physical button?

And you're wrong about having to slide something on the screen to change the speed. That's not how it works. Why are you sharing opinions on things you are ignorant about?
Doesn’t really match my experience at all visiting a city without Uber (Barcelona).

Driver took advantage of their complicated fare system to add supplement charges that didn’t apply: charged us the baggage supplement for our backpacks that we carried in the car, and charged us a supplement for going to the train station, which should only apply from the train station.

The local taxi authority requires us to complain by post with an original receipt.

The postage costs of sending that with tracking defeats the purpose.

Most people wouldn’t even realize they were overcharged, after all, we paid what was on the meter. And issuing receipts is only by request.

We don’t have enough data to determine if the driver was excellently skilled or suicidal.

Meanwhile with Uber, you get a fancy receipt emailed to you listing route/charges, a sensible (if unregulated) complaints process, and ratings from other riders.
>One of my friend trying to help found out first time it hurt a lot when tear gas residue touch your skin. And she is just helping. But whilst crying and painful our kids just wash their eyes and skins. And go back.

My favorite line that I heard from one protester was "tear gas isn't so bad, it's sort of just like chopping onions. I eat spicy food worse than it all the time". You can't help but smile at that kind of attitude.
"Use of illegal labourers is a crime, but the simple act of having someone other than the original contractor deliver the food isn't."

Yes, and the issue is using illegal labourers, not the subcontracting itself.
>Only if that minute of arc lies on a great circle route.

I'm pretty sure to derive a nautical mile you have to use the equator, not just any great circle, because the earth isn't a sphere.
but then you wouldn't do "search engine optimization", but rather proper web engineering.
Just to be clear, I believe this is the first highway marker in new Hampshire. There is a highway marker in Arlington Virginia, honoring ARPANET complete with a binary ASCII secret message, and I believe one for Grace hopper as well (could be wrong about the second)
So you can use your preferred maps app in your car, so you can choose music using your favorite music app, so you can send and receive text messages without taking your eyes off the road. Without it, people would just be looking at their phones anyways.

Guess we should go back to paper maps and listening to AM radio.
Most junior level developers these days have open source code to look at it (as schools really push that). For higher-level developers you can ask more complicated and telling questions.
The same can be said of the nautical mile. It is no longer defined as an minute of latitude and in instead exactly 1852 meters.
I just don't think people that went through years of education are still capable of doing something like that. People are motivated by more than just money...
