I agree with this. I used to play a lot (competitive matches, got to near the top of the main league in the UK for CS:Source) and I think for your average player it feels the same to be playing against good players as it does against people who are cheating. My observations during this time is that there were actually very few cheaters, and most people who were being accused on public servers were just good players playing the way that I did against players of a lower skill level.

I would encounter someone who was clearly and obviously cheating only once every few weeks.

But git already has this object, it’s called a tree and each commit has a unique tree associated with it. The commits are the object that carries history and metadata on top of the trees. Is your objection that the commit metadata is associated to the commit and not the tree?

xmllint --noout <file> will check the file and report any issues with XML syntax in a very detailed way with line numbers for you to see.

I myself don't even use syntax highlighting and normally work in vim and although I do make errors in XML sometimes, I find that I make at least as many syntactic errors in Python or C code that I have to weed out before I can proceed. But I never heard anyone complaining about Python or C being too strict :)

Most grid-tied home solar installations cannot function without the grid. Depending on manufacturer and/or utility, you may simply not have the option to install free-standing solar capacity.

That means generators are the only sustaining power option.

For those medically-dependent on electricity, this has been a massive factor, with deaths reported as a consequence. Economic hardship and other impacts are also very real.

Given the balance between this and the risk of tens of thousands made homeless through repeats of events such as last year's Camp Fire in Paradise, preemptive power cuts still seem defensible. But impacts really must be addressed.

Excellent post, now I really see what you're getting at now.
Well, RIM and a lot of other players went under as well.

Android survived (IMHO) because they hyperfocused and took basically only the linux kernel and replaced most of the userspace, especially all the XOrg stuff, focused on the Java API and that was it and then shipped.

Of course Google money helped, but it's not like Google never fumbled a product before.

To a first approximation, yes, I think that captures the general idea.

But I don't think it's literally as simple as just taking the commit metadata and slapping it onto the tree objects.
I think that's a sign of Nokia doing the right things.

Nokia made a metric fuckton of different kinds of phones. Some of them, like your example, were just really goddamn weird and didn't really work out. But the key thing is that they weren't just sitting on their asses making a better Nokia 3310 every year.

When Nokia found a winning formula they absolutely used it and created devices based on that formula. However they were never afraid to try new weird shit. Doing new things and trying to break the mold of a traditional handset was exactly what allowed them to find new features and things to add to phones.

Their real problem was that they were too slow to adopt the changes brought forth by the iPhone, and were too confident in their dominance over the mobile market so they never saw the possibility of someone overtaking them.
Agree.
But the tricky part is that it requires us to overcome our greed.

And we also have to abandon 1.3 billion people in the process. For example, people in North Korea are starving[0]. It's just we don't pay much attention to it. Is this evil necessary?

Yeah I am not sure of the advantages of going the manager-path either. Unless perhaps you break above a certain threshold after some years. Because at a lot of managerial roles you get to work a hell of a lot more, without much more compensation and perhaps even less. So it seems like a tough sell unless you are really more interested in the managerial work.

"Spared" implies that there's a clearly worse and inevitable alternative. Unless we shake off this ingrained cold-war mentality no other alternatives than status-quo will seem plausible.
A lot of long-distance, high-voltage transmission crosses what's effectively wilderness. You've got issues of unstable slopes, earthquake faults, flooding, and ground-current losses (a big problem with undergrounded power).

And that's before you look at getting crews in place.

Then there's the question of monitoring, servicing, and repair after undergrounding.

It's definitely an option. But not a cheap or universally applicable one.
I love pure Prolog, and I welcome new developments like the pure if_/3 discussed below. But at the same time, your position is needlessly extremist. It's perfectly fine to write a program in 90% pure Prolog and 10% in its "quirky imperative" subset. Depending on what you're doing, turning that ratio around to 20-80 can still be useful: "quirky imperative" Prolog is still the best language for matching and transforming tree-shaped data that I know of.

The ability to mix in impure features where needed is what makes Prolog practical.
I don't know Django specifically and not sure exactly what you want to do but yes you can integrate Vue, webpack & all in anything.

In fact that's what I've encountered in most companies, and what I usually do for my side projects. Basically you output a <app>.js and <app>.css and integrate those in your app layouts / templates.

That's a problem with all these CLI and all those tutorial targeting SPA with a node backend. But IIRC vue-cli as options to help you achieve that, but the docs are not always the clearest for this.

Earthquake-induced ground movements tend to be in limited areas immediately adjacent to faults, unless the effects are cause by induced land movements (e.g., landslides) elsewhere.

An above-ground fault-crossing, with slace sufficient for maximum predicted ground movements (generally on the order of 5m or less) should generally address that.

I would look for and inspiration in developed post-Communist countries where people are especially dissapointed. The whole 90s they had heard about privatisation, free market, supply-demand, "everyone is in charge of their own destiny" cliches - the environment which pushed them out to emigration to countries like Germany, UK, Sweden, Italy, etc. To the countries where, surprise!, rich and affluent families and clans hold and rule the whole economy and where one's social and financial status is defined by the place and the family one was born in.

Having actually test-driven many of these cars this year, in practice Tesla is much better than the competition. There might still be problems in different conditions, and it is not fully autonomous of course, but the common HN myth that other cars basically have the same lane assist that tesla has is just a lore. Tesla autopilot is light years ahead of the rest of them.
Oh, please stop turning HN into a political left quagmire.

With red tinted glasses, it is "industry" and "corporations" that set humanity aside. Take the glasses off, and remember how Stalin treated his people, how much humanity the Berlin Wall represented, how caring Pol Pot was to the people of Cambodia. Yeah, Cuba and Venezuela seems to fit in there too. Can't find much industry going on with Daesh, ISIS, Al Quaeda, Taliban and the lot. Yet they treat people bad.

People are sometimes bad to each other, right. The means are not the cause. Correlation vs causation, remember?
That was a great read. Thanks for sharing.
Why would real accuracy be difficult to determine? Clinicians get to test these on their patient populations and validate against other high accuracy methods (point-in-time serum draws). For instance, Dr. Peter Attia says he gets a useful fraction of his clinic to use CGMs (as well as personal use), and over years sees a strong signal.

There are many other Drs that have gone on record.
I remember reading it from Wikipedia some times ago. I looked it up again and I was wrong: this was not applied for POSIX but UTC itself. The arrival of international networks seems to actually be the reason why they stopped smearing it continually and switched to a linear version with discontinuities. [0]

> UTC is a discontinuous time scale. From its beginning in 1961 through December 1971 the adjustments were made regularly in fractional leap seconds so that UTC approximated UT2. Afterwards these adjustments were made only in whole seconds to approximate UT1. This was a compromise arrangement in order to enable a publicly broadcast time scale; the post-1971 more linear transformation of the BIH's atomic time meant that the time scale would be more stable and easier to synchronize internationally.

Wikipedia sources it to a book [1].

Most regions have some sort of above-grade water tanks. Not the water towers you'll find in the plains states, but tanks built upslope of served areas. Though these are filled by powered pumps, they'll supply enormous amounts of water even after power is cut.

This sounds awesome. One of the weaknesses of Test driven development always seemed to me, that ultimately a human may not be very good finding the edge cases to test. After all if he was very good then he would account for them on the code at first try.

We could use ancient Egypt hieroglyphs to communicate, but in the end they are just a collection of symbols to mean sounds, so maybe a universal phonetic alphabet could alleviate the process of writing on electronic devices.

this https://i.imgur.com/Xv7VIMN.png is ḫprj, which is kephri, which is kɛˈfrI the scarab-faced god.

The effect of the death penalty as a deterrent has been studied and found lacking. It seems once you hit a certain threshold of "bad for me" worse punishments like capital punishment don't perform any better. Still, it's not often that I get to say that the Chinese government has the right idea even if in this case they take it too far which is more what I'd expect from them.

The rosary is great for contemplative prayer [0], but does your mind ever wander from what you 'should' be thinking about to various mundane things (last weekend's sporting events, your car needs an oil change, what to make for dinner)?

One part of mindfulness meditation is deliberate practice at directed focus, and that practice improves your ability to think about what you want to think about rather than what your mind wanders to. There's another common practice where you actually intentionally practice allowing your mind to wander, and consciously choose to dismiss those thoughts.

I see mindfulness meditation as orthogonal to actual prayer, a little axe-sharpening that improves not only my prayer life but my general thought processes as well. If I only have time for one and not the other, obviously prayer is more important.

[0] For people who don't know, the Rosary is a series of meditations on different aspects of the lives of Jesus and Mary and the ministry of Jesus, in the form of an easily-memorized sequence of rote prayers. The rote nature of the prayers allows the person saying the rosary to use the brain's fuzzy focus to think about each aspect in turn. In total it consists of the Apostle's Creed, 6 "Our Father"s, 53 "Hail Mary"s, 6 "Glory Be"s, and one "Hail Holy Queen", taking between 10 minutes (if you're in a rush) and 20 minutes (if you're sleepy).

hg-git already works well, but has some issues around updates (since it's maintenance is lagging a bit, so I hope this change will replace it as a better maintained option).

There's no incompatibility between speaking the same language and failing to communicate.

Two weeks ago I was on a flight into London. While we were coming down through some clouds I was looking out of the window for a clearing when I saw an almost blinding purple flash which was followed by a loud crack. I looked forward with pure panic in my eyes at the airhost who was smiling, he calmly informed me that we had just been struck by lighting. Apparently, it's not uncommon and planes are designed to withstand it. I learnt something new that day.

If you want to change/fix things then being calm and present is a useful skill to be able to assess what the problem actually is and how to address it without being being drawn to actions that are not thought through.

Mindfulness does not imply you should not get angry at injustice, for example, but that you might want to observe that emotion arising and understand what you're actually angry about and why before you act. Sometimes you'll catch yourself being manipulated, or you'll realize you're angry about the wrong thing, or lashing out at the wrong person or entity.

As such I think the author would have done much better to focus on why mindfulness is not about inaction, and should not be used as an excuse for inaction. If someone wants to focus only inwards, that's got nothing to do with mindfulness, and in fact if they use mindfulness as an excuse for that, they are failing at being mindful if they're not mindful that it is just an excuse.

Mindfulness certainly can make some people more ready to accept life as it is, but the point then is that suffering for the sake of suffering is pretty irrational - if you can find a way to accept your current situation, then that is good. But accepting it does not mean you can not want to change it. But you should be aware of why, not just blindly fight for something that might not make you or others any happier.

I do think you're right that if everyone were calm and peaceful much would change without activism, but I also don't think mindfulness means no activism. Different activism, perhaps.
That'll be the HP OmniGo 700LX - I still have mine.

That thing and a Nokia 6110 saw me through college very nicely. Just enough functionality to be useful. The whole HP LX line was really cool and was even more impressive when you factored in that it was an 80186 running MS-DOS.

The phone dock, incidentally, was for a Nokia 2110. There's a Nokia Cellular Data Card in a hidden PCMCIA slot in the LX (lower base section if memory serves), with a cable leading up inside the unit to the dock.
