Read all the comments specifically looking for this one. Thanks for not letting me down.
Hmm, it goes away if I use Fluxbox instead of XFCE. Neat.
I don't build 7W phone chargers, so I could be wrong, but I think there are a couple of factors:

· 7Wp of solar panels at this point would cost about US$1.50 if we were talking about the low-cost power modules used in utility-scale deployments. This is, I think, less than the (retail) cost of the case, sales transaction, or power electronics.

· Low-cost power modules are less efficient than higher-cost modules, which means you'd need a larger surface area to get 7 watts.

Which chargers are you looking at? Searching on Amazon I find a lot of USB battery packs with built-in solar panels, which I can't help but think are basically fake, since a 16%-efficient panel that size would provide less than a watt. (I've probably been influenced by watching a lot of bigclivedotcom videos where he dismantles phony consumer electronics, including USB battery packs that have a tiny fraction of their claimed capacity.)

Juries probably don’t have a predisposition to either party in this case. If anything, they’re more likely to get bored and confused than a judge or arbitrator. This seems like the wrong thing to get upset about.
Yes, bamboo too. Sorry.
This is partially correct. This is how the curve is maintained with the concrete liner. Steering is also accomplished via articulation jacks at the head and controlling differential stroke of the main jacks.

It should be noted that only certain types of precast segments work the way that is stated with all rings having an angled face - other types have specific concrete segments for each particular curve with the rest of the rings being planar. This approach has gone away in the industry with advances in software.
Labor force participation rate is steady at ~63%, which is only 4 points lower than all time highs and significantly higher than any time in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and most of the 80s. With demographic trends, that's not to be unexpected.

I am concerned about the national debt but expanding the economy is one of the best ways to deal with it.

The trade war with China is a risk factor but not clear whether it's good or bad at this point.

There are always signs of dysfunction if you look for it. In this context, 3.7% unemployment and 3+% wage growth is good news for U.S. economy.
Sound a lot like real estate agents.
100%!

There are many exceptions, but it is a deep truism that those who can walk away are the only ones guaranteed to get a deal they find satisfactory. It’s almost tautological: If you can walk away, and a deal doesn’t feel good, you just walk away. So what’s left? Deals you like.

There are many ways to be able to walk away. Cash flow and profitability are the easiest. Sometimes it’s being able to put a one-person company on hold and go rock climbing while you live out of a “craggin’-shaggin’-wagon.”

That being said... Here’s some personal and contrarian advice: Don’t organize yourself around being able to walk away just because you want negotiating leverage. If that’s your only motivation for generating cash flow or profits, emotionally you will always desire a deal, and in a very real sense you will fond it hard to walk away from money.

The ideal thing is to generate profit because you are attached to the idea of a functioning business, and not just a startup designed to conduct experimental market- and technological research.

The ideal thing is to want to grow from founding to running an operating business over the long haul, so you actually don’t want a deal even if the terms are financially favourable.

When you are able to walk away for your own personal and values-based reasons, you ironically will be in the strongest negotiating position.

Care to file bugs? We can possibly fix these in a point release..
For all the same reasons... I would recommend Debian unstable (ignore the name).
I was worried, because I'm currently working on a tagging system and they beat me to the release, punchy website included.

Then I realised that they built it on top of FUSE, and SQL, and took a sigh of relief.

((EDIT: Perhaps this is a little harsh? I didn't mean to be harsh, just precise, but perhaps I went a little over the top -- I apologize to the authors if I did.))

I investigated the FUSE/db option earlier a year or two ago, and personally I don't see this as an interesting or compelling solution to the file<->tag problem. Because users move and rename files, pathnames are potentially semantically meaningless to the tag system. The contents of files change often, and arbitrarily (given things like MS Word's formats which are literal memory dumps of what word is doing, not to factor in encrypted files, etc.), because of this, file hashes are potentially semantically meaningless to the tag system.

In other words, basic file operations (reading/writing/renaming) will cause this system to break your tags without significant work to keep the file<->tag relation consistent. You can attempt to mitigate this problem through systems that keep track of files (inotify, etc.) but that introduces a runtime cost and has technical difficulties as well. It's 'designed' (albeit unintentionally) to break from the start, and the developer has to exert a large amount of effort to stop the system from breaking. To me it didn't seem like the effort was worth it, that the innate flaws were not worth surmounting. Unfortunately to avoid this from being a 'debbie downer' post, I'd have to talk about the alternative approach, which I don't really have space (or the time, right now) to do here.
Like usual, I don't even know where to start with the ill-informed HN comments on aviation ...

This was a landing on a blue-sky day in a country, Germany, with almost no airports compared to the USA.

So although handy for a "pinch-hitter" type emergency landing in broad daylight with one airport and one runway in sight, otherwise it's of little practical use.

Also, any landing attempt has 2 outcomes: a landing or a go-around. If the tower says at 50' AGL, "there's a deer on the runway, go around." what would this system do exactly?

Note that some biz jets do have synthetic vision now that can be used in IMC, but not trainers.
Astronomy: A History of Man's Investigation of the Universe 1962 Rathbone books, London And it's chapter 2, and you're marooned on a desert island with a stick, not string. The Amazon pages are actually a pretty good summary of the nature of the book: it's a backwards looking review of the emergence of astronomy and fascinating as a history of science and introduction to astronomy but it's dated regarding modern cosmology.

Just look at the twitch view counts (which indirectly indicates game popularity). 1-2 years ago HearthStone was at 2-4 position now usually it is at >15 position.

Your commentary on the man's life encapsulates many of the reasons that could make a person want to just ditch civilization and live on a boat.

- Constant worry about looking proper

- Constant worry about your reputation (when people are probably busy thinking about their own reputation instead of yours)

- A large amount of legal restrictions around anything at all

- Telling people what to do so that they conform to your expectations

- Wealthy people determining the legal and regulatory landscape according to their needs

- Less wealthy people losing sleep over whether they are pleasing those wealthy people

- Less wealthy people badgering even less wealthy people so that they do what the wealthy people want

I don't necessarily think that his lifestyle is the best idea or that he is an enlightened sage, but the contrast between the two world views is captivating.

> Mom says "Nice that you are important, it's more important that you are nice". Playing nice is a 2nd grade skill.

If you define "nice" as just doing what wealthier people want because of incentives to do so. In a more Nietzschean sense, being nice is what you have to be when you are powerless. If you turn the calculus the other way, it's worth asking what incentives the lad has to listen to demands. Can he be arrested or have his boat taken away? I don't have the answers to these questions, but I do wonder what the power balance is in this case.
That’s a very straightforward explanation of market concentration! Thank you!

I wish people better understood how monopolistic power harms everybody. It results in false scarcity trade offs, for instance. But that’s abstract.
I don't think this is a very good way of putting it. if wealth creation is disconnected from allocation, the creation part isn't really a "game" at all; there's no reward function. the second part, that wealth allocation is zero sum is literally true, but only in the tautological sense that there's no way to divide a pie such that the pieces add up to more than one pie. it's not very useful to assume you already have a pie and then decide how to divide it up when the way you divide it affects the size and kind of pie you have to begin with.
I feel like a lot of these are a little vague to write proper bug reports. If I get around to it and can re-produce the behavior that I was seeing with software center, that would probably be narrow enough in scope to file a bug report. But other issues like "the search screen is slow" are probably rather broad.
So when is your solution going to be available?
Are there fields like this in computer science where many papers are yet to be writen?

This seems to be a version of it: https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.03792
The OpenSSL "Heartbleed" bug that you bring-up is not related to inherent failures of the C language but something else. Just as an aside, i actually have some background in implementation of security protocols (specifically IPSec framework) and FIPS certification for a cryptographic algorithms library, though by no means am i an expert. In the security community many people believe that "Heartbleed" was an intentional plant. See https://www.smh.com.au/technology/man-who-introduced-serious... OpenSSL is such a heavily used and vetted piece of software that the probability of this being an "accidental bug" is very very low and my money is on it having been deliberately inserted i.e. deliberately used C language features towards a nefarious goal. So this is not a good example to bring up.

Now coming to your other point, in today's environment, it is true that you do not lose much for the most part when using a safer language because somebody else has done the dirty work in the implementation of the corresponding language's runtimes, compilers, libraries and ABIs. Without the latter you cannot have the former. After all at some point you have to move out of the cocoon provided by the language and meet real hardware (a good example is bare-metal programming on MCUs). And that is where C is needed and any challengers have to provide exactly similar "ugly, dangerous and unsafe" features if they want to dethrone the champ.

This won't be popular but... NodeJS. It's easy to grab input from the CLI, "shelling out" isn't really all that bad and often I want to do some "business logic" type stuff in code really quick and I know the toolset very well. It's much faster for me to do stuff in JS even if it might be slightly slower to execute. Execution time is rarely what I'm optimizing for in one-off scripts or even things I might run on a regular basis. My ability to understand the code and make changes is valued much higher for me.
The title should be "What's your favorite Linux scripting language?" Presumably you don't want to talk about Powershell (Windows), Javascript (Web), or Apache Groovy (JVM).
I used Debian on servers and something more recent for my desktop (Fedora or Arch), but recently I've been playing with openSUSE since it has both use cases covered, as well as an enterprise upgrade path.

I love Debian and I'll always recommend it for servers, and it makes a reasonable desktop too. However, it's not right for everyone.
On the contrary I left Redhat at 8.0(long time ago, before Fedora) and started using debian/ubuntu and never looked back, in my opinion, while Redhat made a fortune by its business model, Debian and ubuntu are the true community OS, I can't ask for more.

Ubuntu/Debian has been my primary Desktop/Server for the last 15 years, life is good with them. Thanks so much for the maintainers and contributors to put so much efforts into them.
If you have any kind of actual pain from your current typing setup, this is the only answer that makes sense. Forget the marketing surrounding expensive chairs - there isn't really as much science as they claim.

If you don't have any pain from sitting/typing and are just looking to buy a "good" chair, I would suggest

(a) spending money instead on a sit stand desk that allows you to change posture during the day (changing posture frequently is more important than sitting in one ideal posture for long periods).

(b) if you can spend money, get a chair that was some adjustable knobs - height, tension in the back, lock to stop rotation and removable arms maybe. Try local second hand office furniture shops and try out different options. If you buy a second hand chair you don't like, you can usually sell it again without a big loss and keep looking for better options.
It wasn't thought of, it was calculated using a computer algebra system. Such systems are very powerful, but tend to be fairly bad at writing things nicely and simplifying, so they often produce insanely big and complicated formulas.

Sfifs has an accurate link. But your comment really isn't correct. You suggest it is solely to fossil fuels. There is inherent waste to any electrical system as some of the energy produced goes into heating the wires (unless they are super conductors, but as far as I'm aware solar panels and wind farms don't use ultra high temperature super conductors. Don't even know any that exist tbh). Heat is just the simplest example, but Sfifs liked more information.

The claim of instantaneous wave collapse has rubbed me the wrong way ever since I learned about relativistic time dilation and the flexible nature of simultanaety. Time needs to be part of it all, somehow, for it to really make sense.
It seems that they're going to do it regardless of the loss of control implications to end users.

That seems to be a common trend these days --- ignore what they want, claim that it's "for their safety/security/privacy/whatever", and gradually remove options for configurability.

In particular, this sort of "overstepping the boundaries" is unfortunately getting more popular, and IMHO it's rather disturbing that browsers have gone in this direction; software should follow the system defaults/configuration whatever they are. Yes, the platform coud be compromised or otherwise not to your liking. That's not your problem, Mozilla!

Kind of, but not enough to matter for this application anytime in the next several years. The USGS report at
https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nmic/zirconium-and-hafnium-stat...
says the US imported 36 tonnes of hafnium last year. If a three-atom-thick layer of hafnium is 0.6 nanometers and weighs 13.3 g/cc, those 36 tonnes would cover 4500 km², enough to produce about 700 GWp of solar energy. The US installed 10.6 GWp of photovoltaic generation capacity last year, which would amount to one seventieth of its hafnium imports. (China installed 45 GWp.)

It is relevant once photovoltaic energy becomes the main power source for the humans, because the materials used in current photovoltaic cells are dramatically more abundant than hafnium.

"there was no single transaction where the entire escrow fund was exhausted" -- that's not because no one acquired a startup that turned out to be mostly inflated metrics and bullshit.

For whatever reason, escrow funds are mostly just used for little things like paying bills that came in after the documents closed. When the whole startup is rotten, the acquirer doesn't usually try hard to claw back money because management don't want to admit to themselves or their board that they were suckers.

Also, it's very hard to tell whether a startup was about to collapse before the acquisition, or collapsed as a result of the acquirer making the new employees work in beige cubicles.

Something like half of acquisitions destroy value. The worst case is when the acquired company colonizes and destroys the parent company by filling its management ranks with stooges.
I read it like a book and Google all the tooling I don't understand. Usually the first page will be something like a make file. Understanding every detail of this file will reveal the many hacks needed to get the project to run and that tells you a lot about the project.

After that, I look for the entry point and try get a sense how the code files have been organised. If it's good code, it will look like a curated library of small functions with few inter-module dependencies. It should be easy to add and remove functions without having to change countless files.

From this, you can start thinking of improvements and how to add them to the existing software. It's a lot easier if it's only for your use as you can get by with something that 'works' rather than something that 'works well.'

Second what another poster here said too: if there's too many files its easier to work with the code than try read all of it.
> Resources however increases each year with more people enjoying the benefits.

I wouldn't call this a zero nor negative sum game if the game is to gather resources (resources with certain value. Which I think you'd agree that more recent resources have higher value. Like an AC vs a fan).
None that I'm conscious of.
In San Diego, there is a camp called Outpost Summer Camp that is exactly this.

If you're starting from scratch, as other users have mentioned, the READMEs, CONTRIBUTING, etc. are all good sources.

After that, take a peek into the Issues. Many people open bugs and/or create pull-requests to resolve something. It's quite plausible that you can gleam a lot of information from what's going on behind the scenes from these; especially, if they're open-source projects with a lot of public consumption.

If it's in a language I don't understand (presumably because I have never had the need to use it), I'll try to write the basic "Hello, world!" apps or something slightly more complicated, just to get the gist of the language. The helped a lot with Rust, for example.

You completely missed the point of the parent, which is to NOT let internal hostnames out of the network.

The positives certainly outweigh the negatives of inconveniencing some IT admins who, as you correctly point out, are implementing a dirty hack anyway.

This is a perfect example of the irritating attitude I see from people pushing hostile features like this. Everyone wants their network to operate the way they want, and yet you think you know better than the actual owners of those networks.
The Boring Company took 2 years to go 6000 ft at 15’ diameter excavated.

There are plenty of ways to slice and dice this number up but the short version is that this is not faster than how the original TBM performed (let alone 3x) - I know the guys that Elon bought the TBM from and the guys that those guys bought it from.

As I’ve said in previous posts about this, TBM operation is not the limiting factor in building a tunnel. Permit acquisition and third parties are the longest part of tunneling projects by far.
Is that an obvious downside? I don’t think it is, but obviously you have strong feelings about Go.

Interesting stuff.

One thing I was hoping the video would touch on is how do they know exactly where they are and how they are oriented while boring large tunnels? If you're digging 30km of tunnel, being off by half a degree in any direction would be disasterous, no?
