One of the most fundamental tensions in human society is this:

1. For a society to be just, we should be able to use the fruits of our labor to provide for our own children.

2. For a society to be fair, no should have an unearned advantage over another by virtue of being born to rich parents.

Any society that picks one rule and discards the other leads to a hellhole. If you pick 1 you get game-of-thrones-style tyrannical dynasties who own all of the wealth and use the poor as their serfs. Pick 2 and you get a pseudo-socialist dystopia where children are separated from their parents and raised in government-funded creches.

You can look at the inheritance tax rate as essentially the point the government picks on the continuum between those two extremes. Given the many many loopholes the wealthy have to avoid taxes on inheritance, I think the current rate is actually too low.

If you look at this from the perspective of the beneficiaries, sure, "losing" $600 million sucks. But they never earned it in the first place. It's not like the had to work hard to choose their family.

They still get something like half a billion dollars. That should be enough for them to scrape by. Meanwhile, think of all of the services that tax bill can provide for. College education for thousands of students. Healthcare for poor children. Environmental protection.
Perhaps they hammer it inefficiently or simply too often, possibly without even realizing it?
Could definitely hear that!
I believe Spotify allows you to upload 10,000 tracks.
I've tried VS Code multiple times. Without prejudice. Really want to make it my primary editor.

After persisting with it for over a week, I had to revert back to Sublime. The typing experience of native is still just so much better.
From TFA: "The Linux Kernel will move memory pages which are hardly ever used into swap space to ensure that even more cachable space is made available in-memory for more frequently used memory pages (a page is a piece of memory). Swap usage becomes a performance problem when the Kernel is pressured to continuously move memory pages in and out of memory and swap space."
I'm very curious to know how you are able to get precise and accurate enough identification information from public websites to be able to credibly run a "background check" on someone. I used to work in the criminal justice system, and had unlimited access to every single criminal case initiated in my state going back for almost 40 years. It's difficult enough for a trained person to do it by hand, let alone automating it. How do you provide any guarantee of accuracy?

Those are valid concerns, but I'm not convinced that sexual behavior is causative of bad life outcomes. It seems plausible to me that unhealthy sexual behavior and bad life outcomes have a common cause. I don't think the evidence is strong enough to call sexting extremely dangerous.

Do you think that it's more or less dangerous than occasionally drinking some beer while underage?
I don't think that holds water. In the article, these are the urban dwellers being sabotaged.
I think it occupies the same sort of place as factory farming and Turkey Twizzlers. People know about it but prefer not to think about it. You don't get the tabloids announcing the 'hidden insects in our food' either.

I suppose you could argue the acceptability of it? people get on with their lives and diets though, it doesn't occupy the same space as eating maggots, can we agree on that.
One more point - if you can run the entire index on one machine it makes deploying and managing SOLR much easier to manage than Elastic. The complexity only grows when you have a distributed system. You can fit a lot on a big box.
If you have an unregistered version of Windows, they impose some restrictions. One of them is that you can't change your wallpaper.
Ground-source heat pump installation is expensive - estimate by a vendor near Boulder, CO $30k/14 year pay-off for residential - http://www.energyhomes.org/pricing.html but a bit light on details of their assumptions.

A heat pump being "efficient" can casually be thought of as "multiples better than just resistant heating" (but is measured in cooling and heating efficiency, seasonal performance, etc.)

This drives whether the heat pump is economical or not, because the more heat you have to produce directly from electricity, the less economical your installation is, compared to other heat sources. A gas vendor in Washington, DC area estimates annual savings of $1,500+ by using natural gas heating and water heating over electric, including air-source heat pumps, and significantly lower lifetime costs: https://html5.dcatalog.com/?docid=2db77d07-d752-43b8-bfaa-a8...

The difference is that we're using stuff that's already being grown. It's re-using that which already exists. This could be lawn clippings, coffee grounds, or other compost stuff. It could be rotten food and help solve the food waste problem. We're not growing more food, we're making wasted protein available.

Show HN: Cleave (coming soon) – Enabling human context switching
This. I have a Thinkpad X220, with Linux installed, and it was one of the best purchases I ever made. I hardly use my Macbook anymore.

Cutting through the deluge of marketing-speak:

A Headless CMS is a GUI that simply lets nontechnical people manage content in a database (as opposed to traditional WordPress, which included front-end templating logic). These aren't super new but they are good. They're extra good in a world where you're increasingly likely to have multiple front-ends for a single application.
Growing up, I had several of those in the suburbs in the suburbs too. And even then, my parents would take me into the city on weekends to visit the zoo and museums (I don't remember going to the aquarium, but we had one too).

But then again, where I grew up is very different from NY. My parents are both from NYC, and my cousins are both raising kids in the NYC area (one in the city, one in the suburbs), but my parents moved to Dallas a few years before I was born, and I grew up in Dallas but still got to visit my family in NY. NYC's strength is also the most aggravating thing about it: everything is in the city. This means that the suburbs are just bedroom communities with nothing to do. Visiting my family in Westchester has always felt like spending time out in the country. Dallas, on the other hand, is distributed and spread out. Except for a teeny tiny urban core, we're all suburb. We have edge cities everywhere instead of concentrating everything on one place. The suburbs where I grew up are also much denser than the suburbs where my cousins grew up, which helps.

One interesting study though is with my cousins in NY. They have three kids each, and both are fairly wealthy (honestly, they make more in a year than I'll ever see in my life). One of them lives in a swanky apartment on the Upper West Side, in walking distance of both Central Park and Lincoln Center. The other lives in a large house in Westchester, not far from where she grew up. I can say that, for my cousin who lives in the city, her kids have access to everything you mentioned, and she and the kids are very happy with where they live. But she's also filthy rich and is able to afford a very large apartment in a prime location. Not many people in Manhattan have that kind of privilege. Before she moved to the suburbs, my other cousin used to live in a teeny tiny two-bedroom apartment in Battery Park City. When she had twins, there was pretty much no space for anything, and as soon as she got pregnant with her third kid, she and her husband immediately began looking for a house in the suburbs, and they moved right after she gave birth. It's a giant house with six bedrooms, an expansive basement, and a backyard that won't quit. She told me that while she misses her short commute, it's all worth it to give the kids a perfect environment to grow up in. And the kids certainly have no lack of anything to do: when I visited last year, the kids were all involved in multiple sports leagues and other activities. Everyone is happy with where they live.
You’re right on Google and FB IMO although both are diversifying. Amazon is transforming into a Cloud company first and Logistics company second, IMO.
I am running CentOS 7 and that is still using 5.4. I am only running a forum, IRC and some other things and I don't really want to bother with third party packages.
The title of the poem is, in fact, "Mending Wall", and the overall subject is the yearly work to maintain the stone walls and musing on the necessity of the work.
Parent poster clearly said “unrestrained sexual behavior”, which can damage any social unit. For example, you may be less than thrilled if your partner was sexting without your knowledge. The brain of a teenager isn’t fully formed, which makes the situation more dire.
I don't think its safe to speculate that they thought they were shooting down a drone v shooting some other military target.

Same. Sometimes I get the gist of the story from the discussion, and that's often a timesaver.
If I'm reading these charts right, we currently invest roughly $300 billion per year in renewables. And more in networks, at least some of which must be for renewables.

And global carbon emissions are at their highest ever.

It's good we've built renewables rather than fossil. But the scale of the problem is WAY bigger than 1 trillion over 20 years.

What a lot of people here do think is that Microsoft has lost the technology leadership role that they once had. I've been programming for two+ decades, and there was a time when Microsoft could allude to something and the entire industry would race to try to not be left behind. A lot of people on here are too young to remember this, but it cannot be overstated how absolutely dominant Microsoft was in tech. Their earnings were much less, but their influence was absolute, and those technet and MSDN discs were the holy information conduit for the industry.

Now...the company has its corner, but that's it. They provide a lot of valuable products that obviously make them a tonne of money, and they've been executing fantastically, but if you're a Linux or Mac developer who never touches a single Microsoft product, and pays no heed to whatever Microsoft is talking about or doing, you're probably perfectly fine doing that.

IBM created the PC, and was influential in a lot of critical areas. Now they are just...there. They make revenue pushing up towards Microsoft levels, but you can safely completely ignore them.
As U.S. 'superstar' cities thrive, weaker ones get left behind
"What’s more, we want to ensure the information about which events we’ve seen is written durably so we can recover from a crash, and that we never produce duplicate messages in our output."

Your processor is described as writing from Kafka to Kafka and using a persisted RocksDB instance to check message identifiers. How then do you ensure messages aren't dropped if your processor crashes or gets killed after checking against RocksDB but before the message is flushed to the Kafka broker?

Also is your producer writing to Kafka not at-least-once? If so then even if it removes all duplicates in its processing stage the feed written to your output topic could still contain duplicates.

By contrast deduplicating on consumption avoids that problem entirely by attempting to build an idempotent consumer, which results in an exactly-once. Although in this case they have identified edge cases of duplicates they're comfortable with.
There have always been headless CMS's, the flavor of CMS that really means "web CMS" has always been a single category of CMS.

What this article is really saying is that the web CMS is going away, leaving content CMS's with web API's as the king. What you're saying is that Web CMS's are morphing into content CMS's.

Which is great, but I don't really see the point of the article. None of this is really new.
If you invest some time in it, it's way more awesome. Keep hardly scales for serious use. Handling of media files is probably editor specific.

If you use emacs, org mode is really turing complete as it basically is an extension of elisp. But if you use this post's web-based editor, it probably implements only a tiny subset of org-mode (haven't checked out in detail). Still great if you just want to jot down a notes in a file you normally edit in emacs but have just a web browser.

I would vastly prefer a way to use emacs on my computer but sync the file to google drive so I can share files between computers. That works well on the mac, but not at all on a chromebook. Maybe with Crostini it's getting better but I don't believe so. I really wish ChromeOS would allow syncing a local directory to Google drive.
Like all things in life, it depends. If you have a truly massive server, then swap becomes infeasible, and the OOM killer is an absolute lifesaver. In fact, so much so that you really want the OOM killer to act earlier, to prevent the system getting too low on free RAM/cache. There's a program called earlyoom that I installed on our server with 384GB of RAM - it has been useful multiple times, because it prevents the system entering the thrashing state that would make us basically email IT support and get them to press the big red button on the front.

Secondly, the thing with swappiness is that it alters the balance between stuff that is cache and stuff that is live data. But "stuff that is cache" includes your running software text, libraries, essential operating system bits, etc. If you set swappiness too low, then in a low memory situation the OS will throw away all the code that it is trying to run instead of swapping out some of the live data. That is what many people don't realise.
sexting is not sex.
This is a Senior Engineer, not a 10x.

A 10x engineer is just a workhorse who happens to know enough of everything to be truly useful wherever. I like to call them "glue engineers" instead because it's a little more friendly to the team setting. They do exist, though.
I'm a little late to this party, but here's a mandatory research plug:

My lab works in the area of evidence based medicine. My research focuses on Randomized Controlled Trials, and the overall goal is to automate (fully or partially) the meta-analysis of medical interventions. To that end, we collected a dataset of intervention pairs, statistical significance findings about these pairs, and a minimal rationale supporting the significance finding.

Since these annotations were collected on full text PubMed Open Access articles, we can distribute both the articles and the annotations: https://github.com/jayded/evidence-inference ; paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.01606 ; website: http://evidence-inference.ebm-nlp.com/

We're working on collecting more complete annotation. We hope to facilitate meta-analysis, evidence based medicine, and long document natural language inference. We might even succeed (somewhat) since this is a very targeted effort, as opposed to something more broad.

Adding authentication so you know who is using your service is reasonable, but not sure why author is complaining about 1.2M requests per day, that is only 14 requests per second on average.

Swap is good. If it is in RAM. Just use zram. Like so:

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/co...

zramctl output from a tiny NanoPiNeo2 with 1GB Ram, running from a 64GB Sandisk SDXC card:

NAME ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT

/dev/zram1 lzo 496.7M 4K 76B 12K 4 [SWAP]

/dev/zram0 zstd 50M 2.5M 449K 832K 4 var/log

Edit: Formatting (useless)
Well, the search engines decided that robots.txt was the better approach for them. Which makes sense, since they want control over as much data as possible, that's their profit motive. The jury is still out on whether that's a long-term win-win social contract between search engine companies and the world.

No, a lot of LUCI GUIs have router control code mixed with GUI. And a lot of 3rd party packages also come with direct control from GUI without going through uBus
I would imagine a live person audits the information collected by the scrapers, thereby eliminating the hassle of collecting it from multiple different sources.

As a private person, we only have access to court documents on a state or county base. Any central database we have access to would be made my scrapers.

Maybe so, but Americans are also some of the tallest people (especially compared to those who eat much less). I'm not saying this is necessarily for the better or for the worse, but it's not easy to just say "you should eat this". Recommendations for diet change - remember when it was "don't eat fat", then "don't eat sugar", then "don't eat either"? Who knows.

After all the diet recommendations and panics about obesity, I still think most of us know what healthy eating is.
Hm, I didn't actually realize there was a separate Pwned Passwords API. Having trouble finding docs on it (could be becuase I'm a horrible googler).
If/when oil is done, Alaska will probably depopulate rapidly; they will have much larger problems than needing to raise taxes.

The governor is doing this not to fill in gaps in the budget, but to increase the Alaskan dividend all residents get every year. Crazy stuff.
Tuning oomkiller's hitlist makes it much more managable and the new BPF tools to track it make it a ton nicer than a system grinding into swap.

Not an AI expert, but I wanted to know;

Does this bring us closer to AGI?
Definitely - I am a internet randomer, nothing I (or others) say should be taken with anything less than a truck full of salt.

I would trust that a DE in GOOG knows how to leverage their team in the most efficient / useful way.

My point isn't that very smart / productive engineers don't exist (they definitely do), but that the meme of the dev in the corner who sits in the dark, and spews out golden code, without talking to anyone else on the team is actively harmful for our industry, especially in the smaller startup R&D teams that the current batch of publicity about them comes from.
I thought everybody would be using Bitcoins instead of dollars by now.

What I missed is that (1) people don't care about whether the government can create money whenever it wants, they care more about money with stable value over time relative to the value of goods and wages, and (2) Ben Bernanke must have actually known how to do his job, because the huge post-2008 QE didn't cause massive, economy-destroying levels of inflation as I predicted it would.

I literally learned this in Economics 101 in college, but I guess I had to see it for myself in order to believe it.
I think there might be a market for "human crawlers". Just like people use Mechanical Turk to get humans to beat CAPTCHAs, you could use it to get humans to visit a web page for you, and return its HTML source. There are of course residential proxy services (ie HolaVPN), but they're still technically can be detected.
I used Ghost as a non-headless CMS and had no idea it could be used as headless. Neat!

> And you can always add a JSON or Graphql module to your wordpress, drupal, etc.

That’s a great point, especially for migrating. I’ve worked where we had a huge nearly unmaintainable Drupal instance and it could’ve probably saved us a lot of time to just jam a GraphQL API on-top instead of trying to synchronize everything to another separate database. (Many lessons learned from that experience.)

My biggest gripe with most CMSes is how they handle organization (tags, categories, hierarchies...) as it always seems to come off as too flexible in some ways and not enough in others. Oh, and scaling, but at least you can always cache everything.
That’s called a property management company.
Author here!

Ever since solving a similar problem on the terminal a few years back [0], I kept wanting to explicitly change working context, keeping application states between whatever tasks I was working on.

Cleave attempts to solve this by allowing you save and load "context" in macOS, in a manner similar to how IDEs and text editors lets you manipulate "projects" and "workspaces".
These actions are available via a global hotkey that triggers the command palette, or via the menu bar.

AMA! Open Beta will be out this autumn.

I'd also love any feedback on the (admittedly lacklustre) landing page.

Given that you need to buy an Apple computer to run macOS in the first place, this is a pretty pointless argument. Windows licenses come with prebuild PCs, too.
The cycle doesn't always repeat. The cycle only repeats if fertility rates stay where they always have been... the elk continue to attempt procreation at the rates they always have.

Then,once the foraging/pasture regrows, that rate being the same, the elk rebound.

Calhoun proved this. The mice would, despite having everything they needed, despite the population crash giving them the space they apparently required, just not procreate. Lots of bizarre behaviors, but no procreation.

No little girl who has grown up an only child, most of the adults in her life either having just one child or even none at all, will say "I want to have 2.1 children when I grow up!". And it would have to be every little girl that did that for replacement fertility. If only a few do it, then the number has to be higher than 2.1 for it to average out.

The implication is that fertility rates can only ever fall, and never rise. We're more like Calhoun's mice than we are like some cervines that have outgrown their food supply.
