I'm old enough to have written hand-made, bespoke Internet in the 90's, and there's a reason I don't write HTML any more. Had enough of it then. I write in plain text now and process it.
Add something to the current name to make it sound "nicer"?
A recent example I came across for a mature product is "Goeuro" --> "Omio". They use the "formerly" approach.
You still run Windows in VM. Some people switched to Linux to get away from that.
After autonomous vehicles are introduced, we should increase the driving age to 21, and lower the drinking age to 16.
What I mean is that the necessary struggles related to suffering keep people from thinking about whether there is ultimate meaning.

If we eliminate these struggles of necessity, then people can reflect that all the voluntary struggles you mention are meaningless, and so despair (unless the question of ultimate meaning is resolved).

So, elimination of physical suffering perhaps will increase the psychological suffering due to meaninglessness.

On the other hand, if someone has ultimate purpose locked in their mind, then perhaps even the sufferings of necessity can become more bearable and even easier to overcome.
Degree of security is routinely measured by expense to overcome it.

Yeah, I've found this Russian video about the Tu-155 when looking into it:

If things are competitive, it makes more sense to look at cost than PPP-adjusted price. PPP is an overall metric that doesn't always apply to specific items; it's not like the price of an iPhone is any different in India. And GP gives a pretty fair list of things that influence cost.

They're using a wall as a mirror ... it's not that much different from direct line-of-sight sonar if you ask me. Just flip the scene across the mirror (virtual image), and you're back at plain old sonar.
This started to happen to mine at work too. Luckily I got it down to IT before it started on fire.

They took the hard drive out. Opening the case released pressure on the swelling battery. As soon as it was open the battery started swelling faster. The case could never have been closed again. The whole enclosure bent like a soda can. I should have figured out earlier what was going on. The first sign was the computer started to seem wobbly if you stuck it on the desk and typed on the internal KB. I thought the little rubber feet on the bottom were worn, in actuality it was the case starting to deform. What finally figured it out for me was the swelling started to make the keyboard stop functioning properly. Some keys were stuck.

It got stuffed in a bag and run over to the Apple store (which is only about 200 yards away).

Never heard a word about it again, they threw my HDD in another MBP and I was off and running with almost no downtime.

Of course that was like a 2013 MBP, that would not happen with the 2018 one I have right now since they can't be opened with a screwdriver and the internal SSD is soldered.
I exclusively use Linux for work and personal use, and I only use Wine for games. It works surprisingly well, but sometimes requires some arcane tweaking (which you can google, thankfully). I can't see myself using Wine for anything else.

Somewhat relatedly, there's already a section on "culture", something I think that is sometimes overlooked by language creators. The shape of the initial libraries can shape the entire ecosystem of a language, even when the language itself is technically capable of supporting a different culture.

There's a lot of winds blowing against a new language, but this is one of the rare winds blowing for it; it can literally be easier to write a new language from scratch and boot up a new culture than it can be to change an existing culture. For example, it wouldn't matter if C++ imported every Rust feature, even for the sake of argument to the point where this new (terrible monstrosity of a) compiler could literally compile all current Rust code. The result still wouldn't be "Rust", or able to "kill" Rust, because the sheer inertia of C++ culture (or, for a language this big, "cultures") would simply never produce the sort of code that you see in real Rust.
I have the impression that is just what I said.

I didn't mean to talk monogamy down, I just said I heard about the concept of a relationship escalator in my poly community and it reminded me of the hedonic treadmill.

Doesn't mean that I don't met polys that had the hedonic treadmill problem.
Canonical or other distros should have stats about the wine and 32bit lib downloads, I would like to see those numbers too.
Liquified is the only option, I think. Compressing it into cylinders or storing it as a metal hydride is probably way too much weight.

Until recently, making hydrogen by electrolysis was not a benefit, environmentally, as a lot of the electricity would have come from fossil fuels. I think decomposition of methane is an option that would allow the carbon to be sequestered.
> Rust didn't put integer overflow checks in release mode because current CPU don't provide "free" integer overflow detection

Not really; the main performance drawback of obligate overflow checks is excessively-constrained semantics of the resulting code making optimization harder, not the direct CPU cost of checking. There are other ways of detecting possible overflows, and Rust does check for overflow in debug mode (this is specifically in order to ensure that most Rust code will work properly even when checks are enabled, and will not simply end up relying on underspecified semantics.)
This isn't really what we're talking about. A better analogy are laptops, phones and tractors - which you are not allowed to repair and only work within a closed ecosystem that you either have to opt into our out of, and where opting out has an extraordinary cost.

I use a Mac. I'm part of the problem for having handed my money to an abusive, fraudulent company that is now squeezing all its users for more money for increasingly lower quality products. It used to be easy to buy into Apple's walled garden. But now choice of convenience over freedom is starting to cost me real money and that money buys less each year.
Yeah, this sounds a lot like booking.com. It's obvious that they've relentlessly tuned their purchase flow to make it as seamless as possible.
Yeah plastic seemed more common in the past. If I had to speculate, I would say that as all the guts got cheaper and cheaper, and at some point a fairly low-powered desktop was more than most people would need, manufacturers didn't want to drop the price of the system any lower. At the same time they had to keep margins reasonable in order to compete. So, they spent more on the case.
The "Earth Engine" is also similar?
From the article: conventional fuel for a 100 mile flight costs $400, while electric energy would cost $12.

This seems like such a tremendous difference that the market would be in an arms race to make it a reality. Especially considering electric motors have fewer moving parts and so require less maintenance. Oh and it would be so quiet.
Relational databases have become popular because of their flexibility and that has not changed much through the decades. You can combine, aggregate, filter your data, tell the RDBMS in which shape you want it back, and speed up processing with the right indexes. And if you normalize your data properly, you can be confident that you won't end up with a pile of mud one day.
Other databases like column oriented ones, or key-value dbms may be better at niche use cases like analytics, caching or very write heavy applications.

A social network is mainly about simple CRUD and combining data in various ways, so it is primarily a matter of taste which RDBMS you use. So you should probably stick to what you know best.
Why are people so against belief in God and even becoming Christian, if, as people see to believe, Christianity provides great benefit? There seem to be plenty of good reasons to believe in God, at least, and Christianity's track record has many positives along with the negatives. Plus, the historical evidence for the New Testament's reliability is pretty good, if my understanding is correct. I'm not sure what is the hold back:

- big need: existential despair

- big solution: Christianity

- no obstacle: Christianity is intellectually viable in our modern world

UPDATE reply to replies since I'm rate limited on new comments:

I'm saying Christianity fits "Believe only that for which there is evidence, and only for the time that there is evidence"

1. Good scientific evidence God exists

2. Good historical and archeological evidence the Bible is accurate

3. Historical evidence of the tremendous benefits of Christianity (see Rodney Stark), which flow logically from the principles of its founder Jesus, and seemingly more successful than can be explained by human inspiration

I'd say at the very least Christianity holds up much better than the modern mythos of materialism and purposeless evolution. Perhaps don't accept Christianity, then, but certainly don't accept the modern secular narrative which is even worse evidentially speaking. It makes little sense to accept a bad explanation as default because you don't have a good explanation.

In general, I do not see a internally consistent reason based on any modern criteria (enlightenment, postmodernism, positivism, etc.) for the widespread dismissal of theism and Christianity, and the clinging to atheism and extreme secularism.

I run mIRC on Wine.

I know, I know, there are plenty of Linux native IRC clients. In fact, mIRC has been quite stagnant lately. But to me, its UI is still unsurpassed (20 years of muscle memory also help), and it has less latency than alternatives (even with Wine).
Looks like I'm on your radar now. By the way, the etymology of the word "fedora" that was offered by one of the posters is incorrect-- I think it's an attempt at humor. It was not named after a tailor, but after a French play. I hope this helps you in your duties.
Not really disagreeing with the main thrust of your comment, but there’s also some selection bias at work. Uncontacted tribes will tend to live in the least productive spaces, since more productive spaces would have already been colonized by modern society.

I think this insight comes from Jared Diamond’s The World Until Yesterday, but I’m forgetting.
No engines.
Most of our plastic "recycling" is shipped. Thousands and thousands of container loads full of milk cartons, bottles etc compressed into bales.

The US exports by far the most. Much is poorly washed or sorted, regardless of which nation sent it, often so it's not suitable for recycling - plastic recycling is very easy to contaminate.

When countries push back and restrict imports they find they have an illegal industry that starts mislabelling containers, and illegal factories spring up.

Now it's "their fault".

I find asking these kinds of questions to people using professional software like that is akin to asking a professional c++ programmer "why not lisp?".

Imagine you spend a career training on something and random people just tell you to do something else.
I would agree somewhat with pure textual matter. Incidentally, the one thing where SGML doesn't totally suck, as it was pretty much invented for this.

It still has a pretty writing experience if you're going beyond just paragraphs and the occasional emphasis. Take inserting hyperlinks as an example, I've yet to see a UI that makes that easy enough, highlighting text and then invoking a pop up window is often a bit wasteful and harder to automate (e.g. inserting the current selection or the top-most browser's content). At least with a WYSIWYG editor the content won't be littered with a huge blob of computing ephemera, but having the URL hidden also means that you can't just grab it if you want to repeat the link.

Now the problem is that modern HTML authoring often isn't about regular text, but about creating some kind of hierarchical structure that serves as the content for some pretty involved navigation or data manipulation histrionics. Which means plenty of elements, plenty of nesting, with comparatively little content. And that runs into all the areas that made XML the horror that it is.

In a perfect application of "This is normal now", people are actually quite content with being in this burning room of tags and attributes, as long as the IDE helps creating this mess. JSX, Emmet, templates -- it really reminds me of the early days of Java, where everything was just solved by the IDE or code generation tools (getters/setters, DI etc.).

I still run LTSpice on Linux using Wine. That's about it though.

With the advent of WSL on Windows and my professional need to use both Linux and Windows, I don't have a lot of reasons to use Wine anymore, or desktop Linux for that matter. Windows + WSL is good enough, and better than the other way around of Linux + Wine or a VM. I fear Wine will become more and more irrelevant as time passes. Killing 32bit support doesn't help them any.
My advice is to start from where you are right now.

Are you stressed out? Then try and calm yourself a bit.

What good could you do right now for someone else of for the world? Now go do it.

How did it turn out? Reflect, and make note of what you'd do differently next time.

Repeat.

Fancy philosophical musings can be a huge waste of time if they don't help you perform the steps above. It doesn't matter if we have free will or not, or if we live in a simulation, or if all of life is a dream or any of that bullshit.

TL;DR clickbait is addictive.

“And just as our brains like empty calories from junk food, they can overvalue information that makes us feel good but may not be useful—what some may call idle curiosity.”

THAT is the point of the article. Crap information is addictive.

I knew there was some sort of angle to this.

The point you were making is that a single rabid IRC fan was trying to steer the rest of the company, so actually I'd say the typo certainly does affect the point.

How Will the Movies

Survive the Next
10 Years?

I think big tent pole movies will still be there because they bring in the audience.

Small budget horror movies will exist because even if they didn't make money they didn't cost a lot of money. I think the medium priced movies are going to in trouble.

People complain about why all we get are remakes and superhero movies, it appears people aren't going to see new IP in 80-130 million dollar range.
I'm pretty sure the recovery process for backblaze includes them decrypting your files on their infrastructure and then sending to you. Or something like that. I did a ton of research into the different options recently and didn't like backblaze because of that.

However, I decided to give them a try anyway as I was partly researching for a friend who desperately needed backups and didn't care about that as much. So I installed backblaze on a machine and was surprised to find that 1) the exe is apparently modified per user so you don't have to login (memory hazy) and 2) it _immediately_ starts uploading _everything_ which really pissed me off. Like I get it, full system backups, but still I want some acknowledgement of what's about to happen and options to pare it down if I want. Nooope.

So yeah I don't think Bacblaze is gonna work for GP with their NDA given they can't restore without breaking it.

Discounted cash flow analysis is not what is going on here. Looking at it historically, FB went public with a valuation that its web business at the time could never justify. If you assume people who bought at the price were making a rational calculation, they weren't valuing the business cash flow, they were valuing something else Facebook had. A technical capability, the management, a brand, the things that let them extend their business to mobile messaging and acquire WhatsApp and Instagram. What happened wasn't just cash flow growth. Ditto for Amazon and Google.

I think that is what is going on with Uber. Their current core business will never earn enough to justify their valuations. Investors assume it will add new divisions and capabilities.
Watch Louis Rossman on YT, he pokes his finger in Apple's eye constantly.

What's most unfortunate is that millions of professionals want and need solid computers to do their work on. This is why we went to Apple from the horrible PC experience. Both Windows and the laptops from Dell and IBM weren't holding up because "made in China." Now Apple has chintzed out in a big way.

I'm typing this from a 2018MBP. The keyboard sucks, I barely use it. My company has hundreds of these in service and the failure rate of keyboards is quite high. One of my colleagues is on his 3rd unit in just under a year and we quip that he should torture test these things for Apple. Have seen numerous motherboard failures, odd issues with the screens, and a couple of bricked units. The battery thing has not happened to anyone I know personally.

I have had zero problems with this current one, but a 2016 model I had in 2017 had to be repaired, it just completely died.

The dongles are a plague. I have one attached to the back of my screen with velcro so that when I go to meetings I can hook up to the A/V equipment without having to run back across the building to get the damn part that should just be part of the whole computer.

As someone who regularly pilots a piston-single, I'm looking forward to what hybrid or full electric can do for us little guys. The takeoff phase of flight is a high-risk situation in events such as fuel contamination which could prove fatal.

Having a small buffer, even a few minutes of battery power to rely on while trying to get back to the field to land the "impossible turn" [1] would make me feel a lot better and could be the difference between life and death.

There are various groups (Pipstrel[2], Diamond[3]) that I'm aware of that are working on electric GA aircraft. For young pilots that are looking to train, the cost of jumping in a Cessna 172, the gold standard in GA trainers will cost at best $120-200/hr. Electric costs should be 1/5 (or better) of that in reality due to the absolute bargain of replacing a TBO electric engine, scheduled maintenance and relatively low level of complexity.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. This is a legitimate question. Although my sibling comment might offer an explanation to your downvotes.

Edit: HN's really gone downhill. I thought we didn't downvote with feelings around here? All I did was point out that it's a legitimate question for people who don't have much experience with Photoshop, GIMP, etc.
My favorite Maps BS spam is when you look at the Q&A section for any famous monuments, like the Tower of Pisa: It's non-stop children(?) asking the most banal questions ("When was the tower built?"), and other questions that sound suspiciously like homework that could be found in 5 seconds using a Different Google Product.
Interesting, but I'm currently running 61 extensions in my Chrome non-private sessions, without noticeable impact, so I'm not overly concerned that extensions affect performance.

The thing that bothers me about extensions is that I have usually no control whatsoever over what information any extension might think they need to phone home about. A tool that logged this per extension would seem more useful to me. Not sure if this is even possible?
> Compilers these days are very good at detecting "dummy" memsets to memory that's never read afterwards and optimize them away. You have to use some dirty tricks to get the compiler to do what you want (copious amounts of volatile helps).

Or you can use explicit_bzero(), which is designed for that use case.
Think I can list a few reasons.

[] Movie piracy: continuing through telegram groups

[] WhatsApp - people share videos on whatsapp a lot these days..

[] YouTube - Here I don't think ppl are much into paying for Netflix / Amazon, but YouTube is used a lot.

[] Others: services like hotstar, voot ( movie / TV live streaming ), audio streaming services. Most of these are ad supported. And of course, seems quite a lot at adult content..

This is what I observed in surroundings. Indian people don't care much about ads and that also has been a monetization strategy for jio. I personally don't use any of their apps but many do. Also their cheap feature phones embed advertising.

Ask HN: Vi-Like Controls for Mobile
Does anyone here know of a control system for mobiles similar to Vi on desktops?

I'm aware that you can add vi controls to things in android, but as vi was designed for use with a real keyboard I've found myself wondering if anyone has done any innovation on input methods for mobile explicitly - one that acknowledges that actually you generally only use two thumbs and a smaller keyset
People see the coupon code box and immediately head to Google to search for codes.

If your system would still benefit from a discount code and you're not selling low margin products, it's a good idea to "seed" those discount sites with permanent codes for very minor discounts (even just 4%, say). People feel like they've had a win even when the discount is minor.
