Modern large office buildings these days are mostly glass exterior, but with other prominently visible materials (metal, concrete, maybe wood) as accents. Usually some big diagnol lines or at least visible sections.

Older all glass offices present as a single plane of glass, sometimes with light/dark striping.

Modern shopping centers, or residential have different looks, of course; although high density high rise residential gets fairly close to high density high rise office.

JSX is just syntactic sugar, it's not a templating language. You could write yourself a JSX syntax extension for Dart, it'd be the same thing really.

As far as coal's negative externalities go, carbon emissions and their impact on climate change were only some of the most well-known. There's extensive air and water pollution from both mining and electricity production, with negative health effects for everyone from the miners who mine the coal to those living near the power plants themselves. Mining operations can also have pretty significant environmental impacts in addition to the pollution. Fossil-fuel power plants result in thousands of premature deaths each year, millions of lost workdays, and billions in annual healthcare spending.[0][1][2] And estimates are difficult, so it's easy to undervalue their costs; for C02 emissions, for example, more evidence in recent years suggests that we're drastically underestimating the social and economic damages of carbon emissions.[3]

Very, very few of these consequences have ever been priced into coal-fired power production; for decades, it's been a de facto subsidy. And while we're seeing some shifts needed to lower emissions to fight climate change, many of the identified externalities still aren't priced in. Nuclear energy never received that kind of benefit of the doubt, or the sort of friendly regulatory capture that let society ignore many of its own negative externalities and risks.

I've always loved games that mixed UI with game mechanics.

When I was a kid there was a game called Pathways Into Darkness. If you unequipped your watch the time disappeared from the UI. If you unequipped your flashlight it got dark. But there was never a reason to do these things. It just added flavor.

Aside from the real practical effects of this change in Eve, I think it lends itself to this idea that your UI isn't some out of body experience. It's what your ship is capable of.
Other companies are behind on EV proper (aside). Commercially, it doesn't matter all that much.

Tesla can't sell nonexistent cars, and it can't increase capacity to the point of even getting near to taking over the market. The existing companies have more than enough time to fill in demand with their existing EVs - which will 'win' even if only because these models have cars which can be sold, though I wouldn't bet against the other companies having a compelling offer too. With scale profitability will come.

Of course, the existing companies could sleep and lose their chance, but this doesn't seem likely.

(aside) Note that comparison should also include price, and on that scale other EVs are already better. There should be room at the bottom of the market as well.
All hydro does, I don't know about the effect per kWH generated vs other fuel sources, though.

I didn't "hear" it as suggesting it was a disparagement of the product, more like a "LOL, sure, that's so easy!" sarcasm. "You, too, can do this -- if you are a former astronaut and billionaire. No big!"

A lot of advice that "You can easily do it yourself" presumes a fairly high level of skill and knowledgeable in sometimes multiple domains. That presumption isn't crazy talk for the HN audience. Plenty of people will have the requisite background knowledge to jump on a comment suggesting a DIY alternative.

But that in no way means there isn't a market for the product. Plenty of people may need or want X and not have the capacity to do it themselves, even with some instruction.
It's good practice for any website that takes image uploads to strip unnecessary metadata, as people can inadvertently reveal their location (geotags) or identity (serial numbers etc) otherwise.

Likely “that guy is a wicked asshole”
Of course, I should have said “most”. This is a formula used by a huge percentage of US movies and TV shows. People are so used to it they don’t even think about the fact that the fundamental storyline is the same on a good percentage of what they watch.
Well, this plate doesn't choose which output is the correct one. Something else has to look and decide which number-correspondent-band is the maximal/correct one. But I don't want to argue that specific distinction. If you want to call the waveguide a recognizer, I'm ok with you doing that.

The whole presentation of this article is very "woo". They say bullshit like "the glass learned to bend the light". This is clearly stupid and false. The system DESIGNING the glass learned how to construct the glass such that the light bended appropriately. The glass hasn't learned shit.
As a fan of interactive fiction (I used to run a podcast about it) and a programmer, I've always hated Inform 7. The design philosophy is totally upside down. I understand the apparent value of making code _look like_ english, but in the end it makes code very hard to write.

Its like literally the only read only programming language I know of.

Code which looks like english makes the implicit suggestion that you can program it in english, but in fact, like all languages, it only accepts a very narrow syntax. This makes the language exceedingly frustrating to use.
This is faster and it doesn't use electricity.
There was a recent study [1] looking into the economic impact of GPS in the US which "estimate that the loss of GPS service would have a $1 billion per-day impact". Not sure how that translates to Galileo GNSS.

My guess is they are doing it to 1) to avoid getting their works pulled from award ceremonies and to reap the publicity that comes with them, and 2) to get more access to film libraries since the MPAA will implicitly or explicitly lobby other members to play nice with them.
That is an honest and good question. I won't say I am such a person, but perhaps I can shed some light.

Academia is an elite, powerful, and privileged institution. Of course it is not a monolithic institution, but a conglomeration of many individual institutions that share a common culture. Any cultural entity like this is going to attract deserved and undeserved criticism.

Any powerful cultural institution like this will fall into corruption (literally rotteness), again like every other big cultural institution. This is a charge that has been leveled against academia since universities first arose in the late middle ages. The chancellor of my university at my time went to prison for misappropriation of funds. Currently (and for years now) my alma mater (a public university) spends some amount of its resources on what some people might consider frivilous make-work (i.e. unneccesary jobs creation) while raising tuition as part of the general runaway education inflation, which is far higher that the core inflation rate. (No citation. I'll trust most readers will grant this asseertion.)

As part of the culture, academia is strongly associated with some political trends, and the status quo, and strongly opposed to others. Of course not everyone is going to like that fit.

At the highest levels elite academia is strongly associated with elite government, media, business, etc.

Professors are generally people who like to talk and tell stories. This rubs some people the wrong way, and not all professors are as smart and as good story tellers as Feynman, for instance.

Just some of the things that might trigger some people.

> I’m increasingly convinced we’d all be safer if the password was the second, optional factor.

Yes! Why can I not always login via an emailed token, secured by a TOTP? It would set a cookie, so no different in UX once you’re in, and that’s the normal “forgot password” flow, so no different in terms of security. But it would remove the need for me to constantly be opening up various password generation toolkits and resetting passwords and etc.
I click on the article and get a big paywall instead of text. So meta!
Probably because of the growing student debt problem (which is spilling over into the rest of society and will probably be a factor in the next economic crisis), the tendency of some employers to demand college degrees for jobs that simply do not require them, and the feeling by many hackers who did not go to college that they are not receiving the respect people with their skills deserve (this may be a justified feeling).

It doesn't have to be good or bad. Generally speaking most things are some form of gray.
That's true in retail where they want you wandering the aisles but it doesn't translate well to digital store fronts because of the way they're organized.

In a retail shop you have broad categories like desserts or women's hygiene and a product has a 1:1 relationship with that category. People shop based on categories and can easily skip irrelevant ones (how often are you wandering the toilet paper aisle looking for cheese?).

Digital stores allow products to exist in multiple genre concurrently and are featured virtually based on popularity or advertising dollars. So it's entirely possible to see the same game in every genre because it's being spammed at you or contains poorly conceived elements from those genre.

Generally filtering by multiple genres results in full outer joins instead of inner joins so they're effectively useless.

IIRC, the article indicates some cabin owners tried to ask him to leave them a shopping list (in part because he was so careful to only take what he needed and do no unnecessary damage -- including relocking the house when he left so no one else could readily get in after him).

Of course, ultimately, they actively tried to catch him -- and succeeded -- because the people in the area got tired of it.
I quit EVE after it became "legal" to buy subscription passes and sell them for in-game currency. That's significant because it lets you put a dollar amount on everything you do. It destroys the fun of non-PVP activities when what you're doing changes from "just three more hours of mission running slash mining and I can replace my battleship" to "I'm working for $1.78 an hour." At that point you realize you may as well just buy back your losses every time you get blown up.

>I’m a fan of no local in null, especially if they add observatories/sensor networks structures

Of course he is. The Mittani is completely dedicated to large-scale PVP. Replacing Local with sensor structures is fantastic for alliances who can put a structure or an alt account sentry on every gate in their territory. Never mind how heavily it favors large established organizations and punishes smaller newer corporations.
> number of younger people starting to smoke cigarettes because of it ?

Where is this fear coming from? The reason you pick up cigarettes is being around other people who smoke. I have seen zero evidence that cigarettes are on the rise among kids or that vaping somehow acts as a gateway drug. Using this to justify restriction of access to a cessation aid has always struck me as myopic, ineffective, and killing people. Granted it hasn’t happened quite yet, even in SF, so maybe there’s still hope. I’m certainly not looking forward to buying juul pods at extreme prices on the street.

Why not ban the goddamn cigarettes? People will complain and then roll their own anyway if they really need it in their life, and I certainly don’t see otherwise healthy teenagers rolling cigarettes again. It’s disgusting seeing arrays of cancerous easily smokable sticks in gas stations and corner stores.
The American space shuttle orbiter at the time had exactly the same autonomy capabilities as the Buran. The only constraint was computer memory: the astronauts had to manually load magnetic tapes into the flight computer that had the takeoff and landing programs in them.
I buy goods/services based on the future expected utility and effects of my purchase. If VW has a vehicle that's otherwise the best option for me to purchase, I'm not clear that there's any benefit to me, based on their past actions, opting to go with the next best alternative instead.

I've got to elaborate: programming languages are for telling dumb machines _exactly_ what to do. English is for communicating with other intelligent beings, usually in a more or less interactive way. The two use cases could not possibly be more distinct. One way to see this is to observe how much redundancy and ambiguity is built into natural languages. Redundancy is there because natural communication is lossy and ambiguity is there because communicating agents share an enormous amount of common context. Programming languages have tended towards less and less redundancy and more or and more precision over their history.

Its more or less a coincidence induced by sloppy human thinking that we are "communicating" with computers when we program. Honestly, I'd almost rather program in assembly than in any of these absurd "natural" languages.

Lots of great stuff about Multics at that site:

https://multicians.org/

Multics (Multiplexed Information and Computing Service) was a mainframe timesharing operating system begun in 1965 and used until 2000. Multics began as a research project and was an important influence on operating system development. The system became a commercial product sold by Honeywell to education, government, and industry.

Multics was a prototype of a Computer Utility, providing secure computing to remote users at their terminals. Multicians still miss the elegant, consistent, and powerful programming environment; some Multics features are only now being added to contemporary systems.

Here's the site history of Dockmaster, the National Security Agency's Multics system (which was mentioned in Cliff Stoll's "The Cuckoo's Egg"):

https://multicians.org/site-dockmaster.html

MIT's Multics systems and Project MAC (Man And Computer):

https://multicians.org/site-mit.html

The MIT GE-645 was installed in the 9th floor machine room of Project MAC, at 545 Technology Square. (1967)

In 1972, a Honeywell 6180 was installed in MIT's building 39, at the Information Processing Services Center. There are publicity pictures of the new machine.

The MIT system was upgraded several times and finished as a dual DPS8/70M.

https://multicians.org/project-mac.html

This article describes MIT's Project MAC, the organization that led the initial creation of Multics. This is not a comprehensive history of Project MAC: my goal is to provide context and motivation for Multics history, and to provide accurate statements and references for deeper investigation.

(The author [Tom Van Vleck] was a part-time undergraduate programmer and then a research staff member at Project MAC during its first seven years.)
I had exactly the same question. Until just last year. (I’m 39.)

We’re all different, especially in how we process abstract concepts. I process them quite visually. Among my friends it seems there is some correlation between having a maths degree and thinking directly in the math symbols.

What I have tried to do is just to power through. Scanning and jumping over the paper I try to construct a mental model that the equation is a blueprint for. This is this. This is that. There’s a relation here. What is it. Ah yes it’s just that here. And that is then ... yes.

Usually when i get the equation it’s much simpler than I assume at first. It’s just the ideas in a couple of paragraphs put together in an unambiguous way.

So I just kind of power through! And it can and does take some time! But once through it tends to stick. it’s quite cool.
You are thinking of a malicious actor when the real concern is ignorance. A lot of people don't understand security/privacy mechanics and need it explained, which is why the author complains not just about the mechanic itself, but how it isn't spelled out how it works to the user.

This is a problem for people who might forward the link or otherwise share/leak it on accident, not understanding that the URL itself is a privileged token.
