I don't know why your comment was downvoted. This kind of metric is typical for the enterprise (where cap ex is only part of the equation), and Tom's hardware specifically called out relevance to the enterprise:

> The Geekbench 4 benchmark holds little to no relevance in the enterprise world. Nevertheless, it gives us a small taste of how AMD's EPYC 7002-series can provide enterprises with more bang for their buck.

In short this comment is appropriate.

Going slowly would be my recommendation as well. I transitioned to lacto-ovo vegetarian over the course of somewhere between 2-3 years. First was red meat, then poultry, and then fish. Even there, I had tiny goals -- I started with, "I won't buy this at a supermarket, but I'll eat it if I'm offered, or at a restaurant."

I'm also a really picky eater, and it took about that amount of time for my palette to start to change, to the point where I now really enjoy salads, mushrooms, tofu, and well-cooked veggies.

Changing a pallet is hard, it's OK to do it gradually, and it's OK to experiment and find setups that work for just you. I'm still working on softer veggies like baked beans; everyone says they're really healthy, but I saute about 90% of the veggies I eat. There's something about steamed or boiled veggies that just grosses me out.

But there were other foods I thought I'd never like before, and it's been really interesting especially over the last 4-5 months to go back and try foods that I dismissed before and discover that I suddenly like them a lot more.
And their music! It's just ones and zeroes!

Bzzzt! No. Try again.

Actually, changing costs and cost-benefit coming from advances in technology did have a tremendous effect on 80's music.

all successors would seem out of place?

What's out of place late at night in a dark smoky club? It depends. Be in the moment. Adapt! It's the static, dogmatic mindset that is based on the over-application of a fictional timeless comprehension (which can't possibly fit in a tiny human mind) which results in strawman questions like: "Are you saying if we only understood the cost-benefit factors and incentives that shaped music genre _X_ we'd only need on genre of music and all successors would seem out of place?"

> I disagree with the referendum result but the people voted and the people's wish must be respected. We also cannot have another vote again and again until we get the result that (e.g.) "I" like.

This is not incompatible with avoiding a no-deal brexit. The correct interpretation of a referendum where 52% prefered to leave and 48% prefered to remain is not "leave while burning all bridges possible no matter the cost". There are a multitude of brexits which do not have the same consequences as no-deal and are a far more reasonable interpretation of the referendum (the ideas on how to leave during the referendum campaign ranged from a norway-like deal to negotiating a implausibly good trade deal. No-deal was not a significant part of most campaigns).

Not only does it lend itself well to the imagination, it provides protection against the immersion-breaking reaction that overly-descriptive future predictions create when they're inevitably wrong.

It was really brilliant of him to have the Butlerian Jihad as context for an in-world technology limitations - while also simultaneously showing off a highly-developed and syncretic social structures, especially with the use of religion, to still give it a believable and excitable feel of the future. It gives the book a universe feel that is very hard to re-capture when reading other books by some other sci-fi masters of their era.

Emojis far predated the iphone, much less its introduction in Japan, hence the global use of the Japanese term.

As for the Unicode issue: each phone network (and some of the pre-phone Japanese computers) used different code points and had different sets of emojis.

Also is iOS really "an OS designed to play mp3s?" it isn't the iPod's simple OS and really was a version of OS X.

It's ultimately a tooling problem - Git doesn't have a good way of "tagging" feature branches to be ignored. It's concept of branches is limited - There's only places where there's more than one parent commit, and which is which is unclear. If you handle it badly, you end up with an unreadable history, littered with 'f' commits and junk, rather than having a nice linear history you can run regressions on.

I don't think this is a problem with Git, per-se - I think it's a problem with the tooling we use to interpret it, and the tooling we use to commit to it. But there's a lot of "valid but invalid" ways you can use it, and writing good tooling for different flows is hard, so nobody's invested in it a bunch.

If there's more than one person working on the code base, rebasing is only safe if you restrict pushing/pulling in some way. Properly interleaving pushes and rebases is just more mental load and another way to shoot yourself in the foot with git.

And I don't see the point just to get prettier git-log output - I've never had an issue finding commits or diffing across more than one commit.

But like I said, I've given up arguing about it and have reluctantly embraced my inner rebaser. A small part of me still feels it's a regression.
I love this and hope to see it succeed. I've always found I work out dramatically more reliably with a little bit of social accountability.

Another issue is compliance. If a doctor could say: eat 2000 calories a day and break a sweat for 30 minutes, and expect people to do it, the general population would look totally different.
They don't plan like that at all.

Since all these orbital parameters change over time due to atmospheric drag, solar pressure, gravity irregularities, etc, organizations like NORAD constantly monitor and determine the orbital parameters of every object they can find circling the Earth.

So, they watch for when the likelihood that one satellite will come within some small distance (say, 5km) of another is high. For example, if the odds that they come that close are say, 75% in the next 5 orbits, the operators are notified and alter their courses slightly to maintain separation.

Even manned spacecraft such as the ISS will perform separation maneuvers to keep themselves clear of objects that may come too close.

Reddit doesn't allow you to delete your account either. You can only "deactivate" it, to delete posts you have to do it manually. Since the Internet has the attention span of a gnat, I can find no plausible justification to not delete one's contributions automatically. At most, a site may delay the delete by a few weeks out of respect for other users. After that, all conversations have long died and measurably nobody cares. Other than the Twitter cancel mobs.
> the local property owners get higher prices which is a win

Preventing people from being able to afford a place to live so entrenched interests can accrue hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment appreciation is not a “win”.

Even if you think that the interests of long term “locals” should be privileged (which I disagree with, all men are created equal yada yada), rising property prices don’t benefit all locals, just “local property owners”, as you’ve observed. Local renters and even the kids of local homeowners who eventually want to enter the property market themselves are hurt by constrained supply.

I'm guessing it essentially increases the elastic constants of the material; that is, increases the "spring constants" of the bonds between atoms. As a result, the resonant frequency of acoustic vibrations rises. When these acoustic vibrations are quantized into phonons, the minimum energy of each phonon therefore rises, since it is proportional to this resonant frequency. Since conventional cooper pairs are pairs of electrons bound by a phonon, this increases the binding energy of the pair, and makes it more resilient to being broken up by the thermal energy.

I'm no keto expert, but I think you can do it in a lighter form that doesn't reach the ketosis trigger point, and still get a lot of benefits. If that should rightfully be called a "keto diet" is a linguistic question i don't worry much about.

Back when I switched to the paleo diet some 10 years ago, I was ready for a huge fight with my cravings as I gave up all the sugar and grains etc. But nothing of the kind happened. I just started eating other food that I liked just as much, and felt fine. Lost 25 pounds over 6-9 months.

Maybe it was unusually easy for me. And paleo does allow some carbs, though I definitely cut down a lot.

Agree 100% about your exercise point!
I don't have a visual disability, and don't really have experience with accessibility features for the blind. However, in case it's helpful, I can tell you that I'm very productive with the keyboard and linux terminals, and it seems to me that terminals would be an ideal user interface to use for the blind. It's like a chat window where you're conversing with your computer. I imagine it shouldn't be that hard to modify or extend a terminal so it passes all its output through a text-to-speech program. This would work best with CLI programs, but I imagine it would also be somewhat fine with TUI programs. I think both `ed` and `ex` are fine CLI text editors, for example. Here's a little showcase I did on `ed` on a StackExchange question a while back:

https://askubuntu.com/a/954841/607795

It might look a little confusing. By default, ed doesn't have a prompt for user input and its error messages are limited to "?". However, more helpful error messages can be activated with the command `H` and a prompt can be set with `-p`. `ex` is an improved version of `ed`, and comes with a prompt and more helpful error messages by default.

I've been wanting to try making that terminal configuration partly just for kicks and partly to not strain my eyes so much and work with my eyes closed, but this is pretty low on my priorities list. This would be my first attempt if I ever start to go blind, though.

Since the comments are talking about Right to be Forgotten, there was a recent RadioLab podcast on that very subject: https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/radiolab-right-be-forgotte...

Worth a listen; the focus is mainly on Cleveland'com's right to be forgotten experiment, where they are redacting or deleting old content when requested on a case-by-case basis. Regardless of how you feel about right to be forgotten, the episode makes a number of points both for and against that are worth hearing.

I'm personally undecided on the issue, but I did come away from that podcast with one very strong opinion: I hope we as a society make a decision, either way, and codify it into law (much as the EU has done). Without those laws, we're forming kangaroo courts where small groups of biased individuals get to decide _who_ has the right to be forgotten. Yikes.

I would also add the addendum, specifically for the HN audience who more often than most understand the concept that the "internet forgets nothing." Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If we do believe the right to be forgotten is an overall good thing, let's do it, even if the system won't wipe out _all_ instances of a piece of information. There's a tangible difference between something being the first Google result versus being on the second page.

"It reminds me of the inversion technique that James Clear wrote so well about: https://jamesclear.com/inversion"

This seems to be vaguer than what I thought of before clicking on the link. I generally react to any proposition that seems compelling and obvious and motivational by asking myself "what if the opposite were true and how would one determine that?" If the opposite could be defended equally well, then the original statement doesn't mean much. Sometimes it seems to me like it's most of what people talk about. Instead of debating, perhaps it's best to just put it aside as non-productive. Apparently that's a subset?
