> They all looked glum, and said "There is no alternative".

Most people that I know here in the Netherlands prepare lunch at home and bring it to work or school. I work from home now and still usually eat simple sandwiches for lunch so at least for me it's not about "no alternatives".

It gives me more time to go outside or stop working early - I honestly don't want to spend (at least) an hour going out just to have lunch and then a similar ritual in the evening for dinner.

Around 500kcals sounds about right. I wouldn't really call a single QP a big meal.

I think your comparison to other subs is off thought. Depending on the meat of the sub you might be reducing protein, but the Norwegian sandwich definitely has less fat (less cheese, less calories in the butter than mayo or other sauce, less fatty meats). Usually the bread preferred also has more whole grain and fibers than what's used in the US.

Latest Aerial Photography Technique
Sky-Photos.net is a photo blogging website that shares photographs and videos shot from the sky through camera drones, helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.

Our focus is on breaking down each shot and analyzing how it was taken, in order to help budding aerial photographers improve their game.

Aerial Photography is a skill that can only be mastered after a lot of practice, usually working under an experienced aerial photographer.
You misunderstand. Specifically on sites without cross-user visible content, the JavaScript needs to get into the system via an input, POST or GET. When every user input is named something different, you have no ability to send a link with a JavaScript payload.
what I'm looking for at the moment is an ereader that I can install syncthing on so I can easily add or remove books at any time from my other devices. having to plug in to another computer and manually sync with calibre or whatever is a bit of a pain.

a few people have got it running on the kobo but the install process seems a bit tricky. there's also the option of using an android based eink and then maybe sideloading the syncthing apk.

the other thing I like about this idea is that i could continue reading a book on my phone or computer if I was really stuck, or if I forgot to charge my ereader... which I do quite a lot

This form of surveillance would be a game of bingo: for a given "bad" domain you have multiple individual URLs that a browser would hit. Put a few of them on the trigger watchlist, grouped by domain, and when a browser hits some threshold number of the same group within seconds the algorithm shouts "bingo" because chances are this won't be unrelated collisions.

Note also that mass surveillance isn't partucularly concerned about false positives.

> If the ebola infections started appearing in all the major cities with airports and seaports, would you want the experts to try their best to stop it, or would you shrug and say, eh, sometimes people live and sometimes they die

That highly depends on what "the experts" recommend that we do. In any case, your bad analogy is bad.

...which is what makes me far less worried about climate change.

All this talk about "95% of scientists agree (that the charts point up)" and "science denial" is an argument from authority.

Given that 50% of science is estimated to be wrong[1], I'm willing to take my chances on this one, especially since there's a strong ideological component to it.

The actual simulations are drastic simplifications with wide margins of error, and even those margins have been crossed by observation even in the close term, where the margins are still narrow. All the interesting stuff happens way further down the line, however.

Perhaps a bit more humility regarding the practical limits to the scientific method is in order, at least in this case - but then how would you make your argument from authority?

I'm familiar with this. I have rebinded these, but basically I use them everyday for tab switching, for example within 1 chrome window, of within 1 terminal window.

The reason I made this window-switcher is that sometimes I have something I know I opened a while ago, but I don't want to think about which app holds it, then use the macOS app-switcher (command-tab) to switch to that app, then select the tab/window (with the mouse, or by cycling alt-`).

I want a big mosaic with my windows, and instantly identify and focus on that window I remember the visual traits of.

macOS offers exposé for that purpose, but it is unfortunately not keyboard operable. Also I prefer the Windows approach of having a the thumbnails on a timeline so my eyes have some references instead of scanning the whole screen every time with exposé.

The study was only done on members of American Mensa, I wonder if there would be any difference across countries.

I'm from a poor European country; in high school (~15 years ago) I measured 156 in a Mensa IQ test, a friend had 168, and a third friend 172. We were top students in the generation, going to programming and math competitions. Definitely not in the popular kids club, but otherwise perfectly normal as far as I can tell. In the couple of Mensa meetings I've been to back then I have not really seen any of the mental or physical disorders considered in the study either.

I just want to point out that you can get very horrible bread in Norway as well. In the image you link to, you have Loff at the bottom left of the screen. That stuff is even more tasteless than the average American bread. It also gets more prominent placement, at least from what I've seen in Oslo grocery stores.
I was annoyed as this title as well; it is as clickbaity as it can get.

Obviously nothing can break the law of physics, by definition! It can certainly break our current knowledge of them (we were mistaken).
The charitable interpretation of the title is that it would be "breaking" the law of newtonian mechanics - which we know are a good approximation only in certain conditions, ie. when the speed of the body is not approaching the speed of light, that are not met there (that's the whole point of this design!)

Look, I was there. In 2003 post dot-com the web was still very static and very transactional. It had become uncool and was perceived as being quite stale. Microsoft had implemented this proprietary extension that was mimicked in other browsers but nobody was using it. Dynamic HTML as it was known back then wasn’t catching on precisely because there were so many incompatible variants. Google was the first large company for some years to start pursuing talent purely on technical merit, they put these in a room together and the opportunities were recognised. Up to that point XMLHttpRequest was an unknown proprietary browser extension. Google used it to inject dynamism into gmail in a way that was never evident in Outlook. This was the genesis of Web 2.0 and everybody started scrambling to use the browser as a platform again. The web was cool again.

EDIT - despite what they may have become, and despite the many ways that the web has been “broken” since, we have so much to thank google for.

EDIT - so hard to believe this all happened 15 years ago. It’s ancient history at this stage, but seems so recent to me.

I think the mass increase is not supposed to come from the forward/backward motion. Rather, the mass increase comes from rotating the ring.

Imagine the ring at the front of the ship spinning up to relativistic speed, then you push hard on it to get your ship moving a bit. Then you slow the ring down again before it hits the back, so it's much easier to bring back to the front.
Their startup course was a waste of time.

.NET Core 3.0 was major achievement for Microsoft and I like the air surrounding the project and some around it like Visual Studio Code and Windows Subsystem for Linux.

The teams working for Windows development are overall on a roll these days and it's both sad and a little mysterious how Windows 10 is still struggling with QA issues, decisions like dismantling their internal testing teams, dual control panels and inconsistent design.

I've heard Windows devs speaking up off the record that it is hell to work on with so much boilerplate and ceremony both in practice and politics and with few understanding all the ins and outs of building for their Windows 10 desktop, many restorting to copy & pasting because "it's just supposed to be like that". That makes it a little easier to understand why their aforementioned old control panel is still around even after five years of work on a new one.

I wish they could somehow restructure and streamline and come back to also be able to share the excitement like the .NET Core team are doing right now. Maybe if Windows 10X is a success? Maybe Windows is indeed just getting too big for its own good and the Win32 apps are best just put into one fat virtualized environment for backwards compatibility, like in that upcoming evolution of Windows.

Then write the Windows user land in .NET Core.

I drew inspiration from HyperSwitch. Unfortunately, it is no longer maintained and is not free or OSS software, so I couldn't take over.

Specifically, I wanted to improve on some points:

* visual clarity
* size of the thumbnails
* size of the app icons

It's a shame it's not on github because the customization available through the preferences is great, and the product is great overall. It's one of those projects where I'm guessing the author is making no money and could release the code without any loss. He just probably forgot about it, unfortunately

I think it's reasonable to be a little concerned. The IP address does not have to be the identifier, it's just another datapoint for the model. For example, how many people in your residential DHCP pool visit Github and Hacker News every day? Whichever IP has those hashes in its pool is probably "you", so eventually a model can be built that watches you move from IP to IP. (Eventually there could be enough data that it doesn't even need to use the "same DHCP pool" as a heuristic, and it can watch you move between home and work or even on your cross-country trips.)

I think it would be difficult to get a strong signal as to what sort of browsing you're doing from this information, but I also think that if life and death ride on what websites you visit, you should turn this off.
Honestly, I used to say things like "I understand you care about your pets, but you should not love them equal to a human. We should be aware of how we value animals compared to humans."

Seems to be some kind of self-proclaimed dating guru. Some brief research shows she's never even lived in the US.

Anyway, I would like to add that in copenhagen we often have walking dates. You meet someone you've met online at a place and go for a walk, 30 minutes to 1 hour. When the walk is done, if it generally goes well you'll agree to go for drinks or coffee depending on the time or perhaps go your separate ways (could still be interest though!).
I personally love this form as doing such a simple activity while walking makes it more ok to not have constant chatter as well as not having constant eye contact.

I assume the same could be done in cities like NYC and probably with great success.
I love Contexts it has some great features.

I was over the moon to discover that it allowed me to cmd-tab to a Finder window even if it was minimised! (Native macOS cmd-tab does not raise a Finder window even though the application is running.)

Switching between Windows of the same application without needing to resort to cmd-tilde is also nice. Lots of customisation and power user options available in the settings.

Pretty trivial to do with proper macros in a language. Julia has macros for printing variables and values, like `@debug(var)`.

There's an Elixir library with macros to make a map (dictionary) using the variable names passed in [1]:

iex> import ShorterMaps
...> name = "Chris"
...> id = 6
...> ~M{name, id}
%{name: "Chris", id: 6}

Though wether its a good idea or not is another question. ;) If you want to do the type of programming you're talking about you should try Elixir/Julia/Clojure(/Rust?)... or any number of other languages with macros.

I was thinking about the propellant problem a couple of days ago. Is there a reason we can't use electrons?

This is almost exactly like in Belgium. We do have similar word for på leg which is ‘beleg’ or ‘toespijs’. And we also pack it in the morning, 3 or 4 slices. It is not as beautifully wrapped in paper with in-between papers, though.

Moreover, we have decent bread in Belgium. And it doesn’t come in a plastic bag. It’s more similar to the bread described in the article about bread in the UK seen on HN frontpage some days ago.

I’ve seen people stating in the comments that this is heavy on calories. But that’s entirely not true. The butter is probably soja based, the cheese and meat are thinly spread.

Rustup 1.20.0
Given that our deployment platform was Linux (for a .Net Core 3.0 project), I was determined to use Linux and VS Code for development. That was a fail; the verbose nature of C# and the Framework APIs make it impossible to be productive without significant help from a full-fledged IDE like Visual Studio. One might think the verbosity can be reduced by clever coding (and adopting a functional style), but that's not so easy. If you're writing a Web App/Service, the Framework APIs and most popular libraries will nudge you strongly to use Dependency Injection throughout the app and implement everything as a class and to extract interfaces out of it.

My wishlist for C# is short:

- Allow functions outside of classes

- Structural typing

- Files and directories already provide excellent namespacing. Adopt it instead of forcing namespace declarations

Btw, Linux as a deployment platform works quite well.

Nadella has made it pretty clear, whether explicitly or implicitly, that Windows is a dead-end product for them. You could've also deduced this from how they selected their CEOs (cloud guy vs product/software guy or even a sales guy like Ballmer was).

When you've already decided a product is a dead-end, you ignore it and don't spend as much in Q&A. You also try to squeeze your customers for all of their worth, even if that pisses them increasingly more, because you know the product has no future anyway so might as well maximize the revenue at all costs - which is also what Nadella has been doing with all the Windows 10 tracking.
