To make the reduction permanent however, the ultimate fate of all those Christmas trees is important. That market also entails more (fuel burning) economic activity surrounding Christmas and transportation of those trees. If they are disposed of in such a way as to be decomposed by microbes, much of the carbon returns to the environment. It's very hard to store carbon in a more permanent way than deep underground, which was where it was before we foolishly started pulling it all up and burning it.
Yep, it's not about statehood, it's about something else, something "skin deep"
On the plus side they avoided breaking everybody’s firewall configs by importing the “new” pf rule syntax from OpenBSD.
For each individual crime there probably is only one or a small number of perpetrators. You can't just say... hey we found 1000 (or even 5) of you face matched for a single crime (assault) which you almost certainly (or even probably) didn't commit, but after a search or warrant some of you appear to have committed a different other crime (drug possession,
tax evasion, public urination, evading arrest, immigration status) so go to jail and wait for court.

Once police have the right to search, enter, confiscate. and arrest probable cause is out the window.
His critique is more about the impact of the full ecosystem effect of the Tidyverse, not what you are referring to, which is just the dplyr semantics. The Tidyverse demands that it's many related packages use tidy data principles and lock users into that approach, which differs from base-R. Much of this discussion is really just a debate about dplyr and magrittr rather than the fragmentation that the broader tidyverse has brought on. All that said, I agree with many commenters that the Tidyverse's improvements to speed of development can more than offset the speed of execution issues, at least for small-to-medium datasets.
It's indeed a hard problem in language design: the amount of investment people are willing to make depends on so many factors, like pre-existing adoption/popularity, and how often you need to use it to get some other work done.

Contrast it with the programming language you use at your day job. Chances are that you invested many hours in order to learn it properly and probably you don't think you necessarily have exhausted things to learn about it. It also probably has many quirks and emerging complexity that wasn't obvious to the its designers or resulted from trade-offs.

Yet we put up with all this because, well because we have no choice. When you need to get something done that needs writing some code, you need to enter the realm of programming languages and people build their careers around mastering them.

The problem around configurations is often underrated.

Solutions to the problem of not even wanting to learn a new thing ranges from "It's just configuration after all, why can't it be just some basic structures and if you need more you're clearly doing something wrong" to "well just stick your $favourite_language as a template engine and you can emit whatever you want".

Jsonnet strikes a nice balance and I like it. It's easy to grasp for those who know some functional programming languages and being untyped you can gloss over a sizeable amount of learning curve. But those shortcuts don't come for free. I use jsonnet at dayjob and the general feeling is that things do get complex white quickly and it's hard to know where values come from. I always thought that with some effort we could add some nice tooling to help with all of that, but cue caught my eye and I'm willing to give it a shot.
Huh, I never saw that NIH number and I've come across a fair number of stories and articles for laypeople. I'm not doubting it, just kinda surprised since tons of people take the 1% number and parrot it. I always felt 1% was rather high.
If you want to work only 34 hours, expect to proportionately get only 85% of your salary. And definitely don't expect others to work Saturdays. Don't contact your coworkers over the weekends either.
Usually people say it's bounds checking and preventing use after free rather than GC. It's possible to have both without GC.
Every car with voice control should recognize “divert life support to propulsion" as a command to turn off engine-driven AC.
According to Tesla's website, it takes 30 min to charge with a supercharger. That seems much less convenient than the 2 or so minutes it takes to fill a tank.
A different _legal_ mechanism these days, but the only affordable and effective technical countermeasure is DNS blocking, which is why this whole anti-DPRIVE thing happened.

Cleanfeed as originally designed is irrelevant in 2019. It worked by doing transparent HTTP proxying on port 80 and then comparing URLs to a blacklist of hashes. But in 2019 the site can just upgrade you to HTTPS and then you vanish off the radar in Cleanfeed. What's left is yet more DNS blocking.

You might think wait, surely they could do IP blocking? Well, no. Fast flux combined with the address exhaustion means if you do this you'll either underblock so badly you might as well not bother trying, or you'll overblock and get yourselves a reputation as the ISP whose Internet doesn't work. SNI lets your opponents do this to you as much as they want even though very few of their customers are doing anything you actually want to block.

So the other working (but far too expensive) option is "Deep packet inspection" or "Transparent TLS proxies" where you'll watch the ClientHello and drop clients asking for forbidden names in SNI before the connection is encrypted. The UK government's White Paper in 2018 showed no appetite for this extra cost, but even if they go there that's exactly what eSNI fixes - so they'd spend all that money and by the time they ship anything probably it doesn't work anyway.
It seems to mostly be a philosophical issue. FreeBSD security is certainly a lot better than it was, just expect that the defaults probably aren’t what you’re looking for.

OpenBSD developers almost always change features for security reasons. They aren’t afraid of writing their own utilities or maintaining entire projects to do things in a cleaner way. This can lead to compatibility and/or performance issues, but at the same time you get a very nicely integrated base system.

I know less about FreeBSD, but they seem to place more responsibility on the user for building a system using their primitives. The choices they make with regards to backwards compatibility and defaults make sense in this context. FreeBSD is also usually the first stop for ex-Linux users who have become disenchanted by systemd or other changes to the system.

Linux as a whole doesn’t really have to choose a side because distributions have their own opinions and there’s enough eyes across popular packages to have decent security while maintaining a huge number of features.
Recently, I've thought of the German government more the champion of individual rights than the US, but this just shows how far down the path of zero-fucks given about the damage these systems can do to people.
Yes, it's fine if it's not the primary differentiating feature, i.e if symbols are used.
I sadly can offer no advice, but only thanks. I'm using this story as an excuse to check my backups as it's been far too long to know whether they're still going, or are recoverable.

Scary stuff.
Right, like fuse the sand and then drop it into water, or cause some sort of thermal shock (blowing air?) to make it rupture into shards.
I assume at this point that at least a plurality of Go developers are using goimports and having this stuff handled automatically. That's probably another reason my opinion on this shifted.

This post reads of "Why are people liking what I don't like?".

This article might be stating the obvious to you. However sometimes people have to be reminded that things can be done simply without the nonsense of cloud hosting, CDNs, automated deployments and all the guff that comes with it.

This sort of article is pertinent in the days of many of the large tech sites being censorious (there was a discussion with 100s of comments about youtube censoring infosec channels), sites with megabytes of JavaScript and even many CSS libraries / frameworks requiring a build tools for styling.

Reminding people that it doesn't have to be this way is important and it doesn't need your approval.
Sure, go nuts. Feel free to ping me on Twitter at @nickjanetakis and / or reply here if you can improve it.
The world is not America. Your criminal justice system might be a Kafkaesque nightmare, but ours is mostly OK.
Maybe we should also consider the opportunity cost of not having a livable planet?
Yes. A tree can be planted when its the size of a bean sprout. I can put a million sprouts in one acre. The target is easy to achieve. Out of those million trees I plant, only 50 will survive.
That is in now way to make a valid point and convince people.

It might be true, but some guy who looks crazy making some youtube videos is going to put people right off any point you are trying to make.
I was hoping for a masterful reveal in the video, in which the staff discussing soul machines are revealed at the end to be 2nd-gen soul machines.
That's a very good approach to choosing which technologies to use.
For personal just-for-fun projects it's often nice to either work with new technologies or (re)invent the wheel, but this is a very nice approach how to pick tech for contract work.

Nice.
From my experience, the amount of electricity to run my AC is very minimal.
I'd need a roof the size of a football field to give me enough charge to get back home from work.
I agree with you. And I have to believe that the authors and reviewers deliberately discredit China
Yes, "searching for survivors," to ensure they don't escape and tell anyone.
You can have your cake, eat it and get icing on top by using a coating that

a) has a transmission window in the range that's useful for PV
b) has high emissivity in the atmosphere's IR window
c) has high reflectivity in the rest of the spectrum
"Ordered" makes for a more dramatic headline. Add the usual misunderstandings about the mechanisms of the legal system and it all looks the same to a lot of folks.
Ah sorry, ironically I'm not even living in the U.S. anymore but I just assume everyone is building things for there. Very cool, good luck, feel free to drop me a line if you ever want to get feedback. I'm joelburke2014 at gmail
Thank you. This is the principle that always gets overlooked anytime I or my company sees these articles. No one should ever be suggesting that these be a sole means of identification. There should always be a human in the loop.

I've yet to meet a customer who's looking at this technology as a way to make decisions. In every case it's there to help make their analysts' jobs easier, by sifting through the chaff and presenting them with the data that makes the best use of their skills.

My timeline is completely in-order and I don't see ads.
Fair points. I’ll wager that most users are willing to accept the trade-offs in favor of security, given that it likely won’t affect most day-to-day usage.

(Also, I’m missing what’s so “funny” and “hilarious” about it.)
How to Create Meaningful Names in Code
I agree. This is one of the best, modern protocol documentations I've seen. I've been tempted to redo old, but critical RFCs (FTP, HTTP, PNG, TCP, IP, etc) in a similar manner.
I don't understand your comment. Yes, you could do it with an Arduino too, or any other computer, or a microcontroller.

From my experience, RPi might be more appealing since it runs a real OS and you can have a desktop environment.
Spanish grocery stores are incredible, you really get a feel for the tapas culture. Everyone stops by after work just to get their late afternoon meal/snack and breakfast for tomorrow. You can't go wrong with any of the <7€ wines, and the salami and cheese selection is superb too.

I was in Kyoto a few months ago, and wandering through the Kyoto Co-op grocery was super fun. So many kinds of green tea I had never heard of, and again, there's a sense of the Japanese minimalist cooking culture. Almost no one in Japan owns an oven, and most places I've seen just have 1-2 standalone electric burners, so baking either isn't done or it'll be something small in a toaster oven.

I love grocery shopping in general, but if you're abroad I'd highly recommend checking out local grocery stores.
> It was capable of trickle charging the 12V starter

Enough to increase the utility of a rarely driven ICE car tenfold.
Just wait.

If yours isn't already as bad as ours, then just wait.
I don’t disagree that they should be recycled (albeit I’d expect a phone to last 3-5 years), but historically all but the best phone chargers have proven to be wholly unsuitable for powering Pi’s. I’m not convinced USB C is poised to change that since charging doesn’t require a continuous, stable supply whereas running a power-hungry CPU does. Ironically most cheap, captive cable phone chargers are exactly the sort of thing that will work in the Pi 4. For varying values of “work.”
> There was a firmware update, so make sure you applied that. Might help bring the temps down a bit.

AFAIK that firmware update isn't up yet, and won't be for weeks.
Except for the people who are falsely accused and may be hassled in the process.

Around 15 years ago I would often schedule last minute flights while traveling for work. When I did, I almost certainly would receive an enhanced screening from TSA. I was the false positive, and when traveling on tight schedules, I was not amused at the frequency in which I was considered suspect (in contrast to the treatment from the airlines, who treated me like royalty). Of course, TSAs true positive rate is 0%.
Well in Finland you get a discount if you have committed crimes before.

There are cases when a person had raped someone and during a leave from the jail he had raped an other victim. The jail term for the second offence is less than usual due to the first sentence still not being fulfilled.
I vaguely remember seeing market share numbers about 5 years ago and it looked like Tesla was clawing away a lot of it's market share in the US from BMW. I think the US market is only a smaller but profitable part of BMW's business. But that should have been worrying.
Do you remember the post? Trying to find.
No FP language has gotten mainstream adoption. Mainstream languages may have had FP features added, but that's different.

I confess I don't "get" the benefits of FP for the type of applications I work on. Most examples are for a domain completely different, make unrealistic assumptions about domain patterns of change that I actually see, or fill in for weaknesses of a given language's OOP model.
That defeats the purpose of a railgun. A railgun is useful because it can fire long distances at a low cost. Combining a traditional rocket with a a railgun, if it was possible (which is isn't because a railgun shot is made of special material) it would just be a waste.
Flights will consume those miles and fuel much faster than those trees can grow to consume the CO2 from them, so you'd need an exponential number of additional trees planted in anticipation to offset future flights up to a certain point where you run out of reasonable land to grow trees on, or water and nutrients, and then you'd have to expend energy to chop the whole forest down and bury it to still come out ahead. The only way out of the debt spiral is to stop consuming fossil fuels for flight.
But having a human review the video for 600 people seems feasible. Rather than 90k people..

I'm still not sure what it's good for though, if the plan is to stop an interogate those 600 people this is still infeasible.
OP specifically referred to breeder reactors, which this is not. This is a reprocessing plant which “scrapes” fuel like Pu (which is not that radioactive) and puts it in a normal reactor.

The nasties are all there still.

Breeders “make” their own fuel from actual waste. The US and France had reader had breeder programs, but shut them down.

Pretty sure there has been discussion on HN of the "hearing voices" movement (e.g. https://www.hearing-voices.org/) but I couldn't find it.
While that does address the fever, the original commenter makes a lot of other claims which are absolutely without merit.
I am quite certain you can.
Not true. I charge my Switch with USB-C Macbook chargers all the time without issue. Have also used external USB-C batteries with it too.
Fascinating suggestion. I'm trying to think of consequences.

Among those: if lawyers get 30% of settlements, then large consumer-rights law firms could end up as major shareholders. That could get v. interesting several ways.
Hey, are you from Belgium (Wallonia) ?
If that episode lasted for a few seconds.
All trees absorb CO2 for cell growth. The aforementioned exotic tree poachers are negligible in their effect on carbon uptake because only a few selected trees make a big payday. The majority of deforestation clear-cutting you hear about in the rainforest is to clear land for cattle pastures, not for harvesting timber. Most timber companies are required to replant saplings in the land they clear.

Growing industrial hemp and bamboo is the fastest way to recapture carbon into useful materials because you can harvest multiple times a year
One of the killer features is also GPIO. Back in the old days, a computer of similar vintage to the Commodore/Tandy/Sinclair micros would have a "user" port that you could wire things to and then program with BASIC PEEK and POKE statements.

With a Raspberry Pi, you've brought that back in a way that doesn't risk expensive hardware. You can get a breadboard and something like the Pi Cobbler for an instant prototyping setup where you can play with electronic components and program them with C or Python with far less difficulty than a garden variety microcontroller. The Arduino comes close, but the computing power of the Pi offers a lot more flexibility and options.
Mine is 4G too; I installed heatsinks on it couple hours ago and it now sits at 61°C idle, with an external HDD attached (but not under I/O load) to USB 3 port. Slightly better, though arguably still ridiculously high.
Noted. Thanks for clearing that up.

Since they did state that some of the characters were made up I had some hope they’d be a bit careful about other things, such as this claim that didn’t add that much to the actual drama.
Every creator who relies on internet for income should have their website separately, there is no excuse, its cheap to get lots of storage , and most hosting providers are not hellishly censorious like social media. What we need is a wordpress-like system that allows uploading and tagging everything in a consisten format with itemproperties. Then, e.g. youtube could autoimport a videos from the feed when asked to. I dont know if such a system exist, but it seems pretty obvious that everyone who sells their content through social media should have an online fallback/backup.
More mature? Both Erlang and BEAM predate Java and JVM. The Erlang ecosystem is super mature and performant.
Sorta. Mathematically yes. Socially, I dunno. When you have a test determines you to be 21% likely to be guilty but the people judging you see "99.99% accurate test" statistical innumeracy is dangerous. The best fix is to use the useful info in the smart way, but "the smart way" means fixing education problems we're already trying and failing to fix.
My mistake: I should have said can't. Schrödinger time evolution is linear and unitary, ie once you split off branches that have factors living in different eigenspaces, they can no longer interact.

It is true that branches may in principle join again - however, that cannot be detected by nature of the process.
Cancer is virtually unknown until people start living long enough to develop cancers. Oh and don't forget the juvenile cancers.
Indeed--there's a halal market I just discovered today that has the most reasonably priced semolina and spices I've seen. Ignorant me believed that semolina came only from large retailers or specialty Italian shops (i.e. sellers of expensive cheese and wine).
I’m surprised that Fedora wasn’t studied, given their stance on security and all of the features they include by default: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security_Features
No, it doesn't. HardenedBSD is one guy who became sore when FreeBSD rejected his patches due to complete lack of design, simple and common C programming errors and overall extremely poor code quality. Despite being provided with the usual review and suggestions he kept submitting them like that and at some point FreeBSD devs became bored with his attitude and moved on. And that's how HardenedBSD came to life.
Climate change happens over such a large scale space (the earth!) and such a large amount of time (decades!) that makes it very difficult to really comprehend. How do you tie a heatwave to CO2 emissions from cars? All that can be given are handwavey probabilities, even the weatherman gets it wrong and he's only predicting a week into the future!

I suspect as we move to more energy efficient tech this problem will eventually solve itself, but I can't see it being hurried up by climate change itself.
What privacy laws?

You thought you ever had privacy?
>I agree with you, but why do you believe the discourse is so bad?

Twitter really isn't designed for discourse, and definitely not for complex discourse, but for immediate engagement and virality. The way the platform works almost encourages piling on and hostility. More than anything, I think the appearance of retweeted and replied-to content in your feed from people you don't even follow contributes to this.

And I'm trying to put this in as non-partisan a way as I can... Trump's personality, his addiction to the platform, the polarizing nature of his Presidency and his loose relationship with the truth just adds fuel to the fire. I suspect this is just what mainstream political discourse looks like when a lot of people are genuinely angry about the state they find the country in. It provides a catharsis, if nothing else.
Cool idea. Can we incorporate other stuff into this social network? Like rare animal sightings or Bee monitoring?
“Recently” is relative. I find 2006 pretty recent.

> The iPhone changed the game

I never understand blanket statements like these about the iPhone being a game changer; the iPhone wasn't half as capable as a windows mobile phone for quite awhile; if the makers of windows mobile phones hadn't stagnated for so long I doubt Apple would have been anymore of a blip than Palm was; moreover, I'm not sure the iPhone changed the game much at all, they really just iterated on their competitors' innovations.

To me, Apple used their inertia from their innovative iPods to have a great marketing success.
