I've done this math before and it's not encouraging. Global carbon fuel burning is more than two cubic miles annually. A billion trees will capture about a trillion kgs of carbon over 10-20 years, but yearly we're burning about 4 trillion kgs of just crude oil.
I miss useful computers for people who make computers useful for people. MacOS X used to feel closer to this ideal. Operating systems feel like they have moved toward throw away consumerism (maybe they always were throw away given the pace of change). Linux feels increasingly like a subsystem for running web apps and systems. I kind of miss the nerdiness of it all.

This frustrates me no end. After several such incidents, and comparable customer service, I now take pictures of myself returning the books. I'm sure it'll do no good when it comes down to it, but it lets me feel that I have some agency in the matter.

What really frustrates me is that our library just re-jiggered its return system so that it's metered, counting how many resources have been returned, perhaps in an effort to address (for them if not for me) concerns like this; but there's still no way to get a receipt indicating that you have returned any particular resource. When I try to get one from the front-desk staff by returning it in person, I'm told I have to drop it in the metered chute and, basically, hope.
I didn't mean these but anyway
I understand that's the goal, but it hasn't been what I've seen from user's code. I think the issue, which the article describes, is that the tidyverse has too large a surface area for something aimed at very smart people who are not software engineers and don't have time to become one.

So they end up with a subset of functionality they can get stuff done with, but then they need to collaborate with someone who uses a different subset. That can be messy.

I think in an environment where everyone learns R from the same course/book/MOOC/whatever (or have done lots of different sorts of programming) and the organization can impose a style guide the tidyverse approach would be great, but when you have people coming from all sorts of places and backgrounds I don't think it's a good fit.

What about customer support or sales agents who are operating solely off a script? I was contacted by a sales agent of a "lead generation" company, who was being impersonated by her off-shore workers. Eventually during our email exchange the real person jumped in (but did not announce that the prior correspondence was with someone in an offshore sales center. They use these agents to pretend to be their clients, and based on the not-great experience I had when I was initially contacted (email was not well written, said things about my company that wasn't quite right), I would not use them.

These folks are essentially like bots, insofar as they are "programmed" to respond and significantly constrained in their latitude. They're like human bots, no?

It's also down to how potentially dangerous something can be. Depending on what actually fails, a charger could electrocute you, and it's cheap to both make and replace ("here's a new one"). A butterfly keyboard won't kill you and it's hell to replace.
> A miniaturized RV that is basically a stripped-down mobile motel room will also have a decent post-fleet-vehicle secondary market, as people buy them to live in full-time, or use more like a traditional RV, excepting that it can fit into a van-sized parking space.

You're basically describing what used to be called (here in the United States - circa 1970s-80s) a "conversion van". Today, you'd probably use something like one of the larger/tall "Ford Transit Connect" vans; which I wouldn't doubt that some company does conversions on, for sale as mini RVs.
So you go to a very specific store that is only available in a the big cities to repair your laptop ordered via Internet? Isn't their an on-site service for Apple? I.e. the repairer comes to your office or home? I find it hard to believe you pay so much money only to get a service of this kind and waste hours traveling to some special Apple store.
data.table’s OpenMP stuff is pretty haphazard, and can’t parallelise anything that calls back into R code. And anything outside of this involving forking lots has just been painful every time I’ve seen it, and again, way slower than doing it on a more performant platform up front.

For the average hn reader probably not. For say a poor student with too much time on his/her hands...perhaps.

There is no industrial production; it's in the R&D stage. Current costs are estimated at about 6x uranium mining. Thus, it is not currently economically viable. With R&D, costs are expected to go down. If we go in on nuclear long term, uranium shortages in a few thousand years will make uranium more expensive.

We're comparing long term scenarios here: reprocessing vs. seawater extraction. The reprocessing + hot refabrication process has been done and is extraordinarily expensive. If seawater extraction at scale is indeed viable, it's long term prospects in my view are way better than reprocessing.

Except that, even though agriculture, mining and oil exploration are a small percentage of the GDP (in the US), the rest of the economy depend on it. Can you tell me what the US would do if it suddenly lost access to oil? What about food production? The point is that these are strategic areas, even though they may not be the largest in a developed country. Being strategic gives a lot of political leverage to people who control these assets.

perhaps, but I think Thoreau is talking primarily about the risk of producing a systemic dependency, i.e. the "teach a man to fish" philosophy. He was an ardent believer in self-sufficiency and prioritized individual autonomy over maximizing group benefit. He has a lot of great things to say but you could argue their relevancy and context is often misrepresented.
From what I read however, it can't be set to work OOTB for everyone on my network; I'd have to go on every machine and every Internet-connected application to try and change it, hoping all the applications would let me (if I read correctly, Chrome won't?).
If you run the math on this, even assuming 100% efficient conversion to electricity, it doesn't seem very useful.
My course is the famous one by Samskritabharati (https://www.samskritabharati.in/). It's a correspondence program, but they do conduct introductory contact classes as well. They also deliver materials overseas. Samskritabharati also has online video lectures (http://www.samskritashikshanam.in/), but they are in Hindi.

I have audited a few introductory courses from vyoma samskrita pathashala (https://sanskritfromhome.in).

There's also the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan in India (http://www.sanskrit.nic.in/) who have a two year introductory correspondence course. I believe they deliver overseas as well. I did the first year of their course with the help of a tutor I hired from urbanpro.com, but (as with all things GoI) I found the experience to be far less satisfactory than Samskritabharati's.

If you can read Hindi, you can also look at the school textbooks by NCERT as well, which are available for free (http://ncert.nic.in/textbook/textbook.htm)

Two "Western"-style books that I would recommend are:

* Devavanipravesika (An Introduction to the Sanskrit Language) by Robert Goldman

* Samskrita-SubodhinI (A Sanskrit Primer) by Madhav Deshpande.

One thing I want to do is to work through these books once I am done with Samskritabharati just to cement the things I have learnt.

The nice thing about Samskritabharati's course is that it doesn't just teach the language, but it also introduces you in a gentle (but unapologetic!) way to the whole tradition that flourished through it's medium. They also publish books in Sanskrit, which may also help you in your education.

Good luck!
This is more a symptom of the fact that nobody has told R programmers that they are software engineers and the thing that they’re creating is software first, and not just the plot that comes at the end. No library can really help that.
The car sharing service I use here in Quebec, does have a "Cosmetic damage ok. As long as there’s no functional damage, you’re good". I would probably still spend 10 minutes on the phone to make sure it's alright, but they are clear in their policy that scratch are fine (and based on the damage of the back corners of some of their older cars, it's definitely fine).

Their insurance is quite generous too, at first the deductible were 300$, they did increase it to 600$ but for 50$ a year you can remove it altogether. If you don't lower it, they charge 1$ more per trip, so in my case, I pay 50$ a year and there's no risk of fees.

There's an actual actuarial analysis online somewhere, though I can't remember if it's in German, and the problem is not population size, but a nearly unbounded risk. Take a look at Fukushima and think about what would have happened in terms of cost had the wind blown in another direction.
Globalization makes the world smaller and, hence, leaves room for fewer languages, but, IMO, the jury is still out on whether the end result will be a single language, and, if so, whether English will be the winner and not, for example, Chinese.

There already are electronic devices whose datasheet is written in Chinese, for example.
I wasn't thinking it through. With the law, investigators can devote resources to the issue. And still, I'm dubious about the prospects for nontrivial prosecutions.
So I must be the only person on HN who doesn't like it too much. I love the concept and the factory building - but I found the necessity to move a player character manually with direct controls to be incredibly detracting from the process of building factories. I have no idea why they couldn't just include a mode where you have your typical RTS-like mode where you just go and click on things that you want to do without playing a game of "will this 5 pixels tall character fit through this gap between two machines or not". Also, this might be a personal preference - I found the game's style to be hard to read, it's far too dark even when played at maximum brightness...it's just an endless sea of dark brown.

>But this teeters dangerously close to gatekeeping

Why is gatekeeping something that one can be dangerously close to?

I gatekeep who my friends are. We gatekeep who our employers are. We gatekeep what actions we find acceptable from our children.

Gatekeeping is a form of discrimination, and while that has become a four letter word due to specific forms of discrimination that have caused massive amounts of harm, every day we engage in extremely reasonable forms of discriminating. Every day we make value judgments based on the information provided. Every day we use stereotypes that were built off of incomplete data but work well enough.

When I'm picking up cookies at the cookie store, I don't judge the individual cookie on its own merits. I stereotype it based on who produced it. Yes, this current batch could be horrendous, but without the ability to sample that batch directly there isn't any better information than judging it based on past experiences of similarly branded cookies from the same bakery.

Yes, sometimes our stereotypes and judgments we make based on incomplete information hurt others. We need to be guarded against it to ensure we don't cause others undue harm. But if I and others want to form a small community where only people who understand the joke "There is no place like 127.0.0.1." can join, is there really a problem with that?
The idea OP is working to combat or disprove, though, is not that "People can succeed without effort". Rather, they are working to prove that software development is a skill which can be learned by most/all people, and not some highly intellectual undertaking out of reach to all but the most mentally elite.

True. But there's lots more deniability for political campaigns. Free speech and all.
Exactly. I use a modern editor whenever I'm working on one of my main computers, and the only time I use vim is when I'm working on a remote server and can't mount the drive remotely (or where mounting would just be a pain). Because of that, I don't want any plugins when I use vim as I'll probably be using it on a new machine every time, and setting up my environment would be a waste of time.
one important aspect in this is that forests have lower albedo than grassland. This means they absorb more solar radiation. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00122-z
What about rooms with casement windows? In that case, it will often involve building an adapter to install a room AC. Additionally, landlords could easily be upset by that, since then the window will be extended all the time, allowing it to be caught by winds or for water to damage the frame. There are also people who live in high-rises with windows that do not open.
Great, but if it's like my 2016 MBP, it will stop working properly again in 2 months.

We know from interviewing the children who were abused that they continue to be traumatised by the knowledge that images of them being raped are still available online.

We also know that fear of people viewing the images causes children to avoid seeking help. Some children feel huge amounts of shame or guilt, and they wrongly[1] think that they will be seen as willing victims.

You're also making the mistake of limiting your thoughts to images created by a local abuser - someone in the same room as the child. You need to remember that some images of CSE are created by the children after they've been groomed.

[1] Although reading any HN thread which mentions images of CSE these children aren't far wrong.
Still analogous. Piles of correlations.
Vim is activly developed, with major new features like a terminal emulator and async arriving in the latests versions. You need to better define “modern”.

Also, that "checklist", and he existence of MCAS, was not even commonly known until after Lion Air went down.

Replacing Awk with Python in GCC? (2018)
You're absolutely right with this diagnosis.
> you can do the same derivation of data from a master entity with or without strong typing (though my preference is always for strong typing, which jq lacks).

Yes, of course you can. The point is that the strong typing helps prevent inadvertent and hard-to-spot mistakes. In jq even simple typos of a field name can lead to "empty result set" silent failures instead of "what do you mean!" loud failures. That's a big thing.
You can take this a step further and just cut down trees, bury them in the ground and let new trees grow.

Do your part, and don't recycle paper, instead make sure to bury it. (I'm only sort of kidding.)

A law that applies to large swatch of regular, benign behavior of people and makes it illegal is not a good law. If that benign behavior is not targeted and the law is used to good effect, it may be beneficial in the short term, and be useful, but it is not good, because it gives the state extra leverage against normal people that they can apply it unevenly.

A decade from now, the state might target certain sites with forums that say things they don't approve of, and use these laws to do so. Is giving the state more tools to circumvent freedoms like freedom of speech due to technicalities a good thing? How about in stead of making a law that blankets many benign interactions and relying on enforcement of only actual problems be up to the opinion of the enforcers, we try to target the actual problem behavior as tightly as possible, and then identify the edges where problem behavior exists and pass new legislation to apply to that?
Thank you so much!!!!

1B hectares of trees supports approx. 1T trees. As with everything, it will not be the solution to climate change and has to live alongside other measures. But it is one of the cheapest (in terms of money) and least radical (in terms of lifestyle adaption) measures we can take for the effect it will have. This study shows that the earth has enough space. It will require a shift in priority for many governments (e.g. Brasil) though.
