Here's a better idea: why don't apple just replace the touchbar with an actual keyboard!?!?

I totally agree that noise cancelling for office noise is useless, it works mostly for low frequencies but the "annoying" part of sound from speaking is much higher than at least my headphones can block out. Passive blocking can have even better blocking of the more important frequencies imo.
I think that, since a person can give full attention to only one thing at a time, you might well be exclusively focusing on your thinking and ignoring your feelings. It is not uncommon for people to use their intellectual faculties in this way... millions of techy nerds have done the same thing, sometimes for a large part of their lives.
Just to say, if you want to explore making the touchbar more useful, possibly check out BetterTouchTool [0]. I don't have a touchbar machine so I haven't tried out those features (I use BTT mainly for window control) but my understanding is that it can give you very good, more fine-grained, control over what the touchbar displays and how it behaves.

Scientists didn't get climate change wrong. Once modelling began in earnest, the results of the models were so extreme and alarming that scientists were ignored/silenced and only the milder scenarios were made visible to the general public.

Now evidence is making it impossible to pretend any longer that those mild scenarios are playing out. The opposite is happening, the most pessimistic models have turned out to still fall short of the mark due to the number of positive feedback loops involved in global warming.

Scientists didn't underestimate anything, they were told to shut the fuck up and stop inciting mass panic if they wanted to keep their jobs. The fact that mass panic might have been justified didn't cross the minds of the politicians involved.

Climate change is a hard, perhaps fatal, lesson that society cannot be governed by career politicians. Opinions don't matter, election cycles don't matter, personal beliefs don't matter, 'this will ruin the economy' doesn't matter. What matters is an existential threat has presented itself and the scientists best placed to address it have been suppressed by the political technically ignorant ruling class so that it can continue its existence unimpeded for just a little bit longer.
There was a practice of using MergerFS/OverlayFS for pooling multiple drives (often by SnapRAID users), but what's still missing (to my knowledge) is some sort of a balancing layer, that could distribute writes.

I got this idea many years ago, when first personal cloud storages appeared and offered some limited space for free. I thought it would be nice if I could pool them and fill them taking their different capacities into account. And if I could also stripe and EC them for higher availability...

I still wonder if there's something that can do this and if there isn't I would like to know why, since it looks like a useful and obvious idea.

I had the keyboard of my MBP 2017 replaced for free. Also, the display died roughly at the same time. At first, I thought it was a problem of the flex cable, but later I discovered a small crack. The Apple Store replaced the entire display for free, what is usually a $800 repair. I guess it depends a lot on the store, the country, maybe even the person you talk to.
Another difference that may matter for some:

on block based CoW FS, shared executables and libs will not be shared among containers, because file cache is file based not block based.

Using Overlayfs - or other file level CoW storage, when one starts several containers from the same image, shared libraries and executables will be loaded only once(so will be actually shared) across containers.
I live in a relatively new apartment building that has heat recovery system installed in all apartments by default. My apartment is 73sqm, the ventilation unit is rated at 300m3/h. The building is located in a busy part of town with lots of traffic around. The city has a humid continental climate (Dfb) so it does get pretty cold during winter.

It does help a lot and I couldn't imagine living without it.

- Filters out particle pollution - https://twitter.com/eugenijusr/status/1105740301493260289

- Removes CO2 - averages ~650ppm in all rooms, almost never goes higher than 1000ppm (3 person household).

- Retains up to 85% of heat (based on the specs) using the exchanger, but also has an active electric heater inside that can be turned on in winter for ultimate comfort.

- Removes moisture from the bathroom and kitchen and dumps it into the drain via a separate drain pipe.

- Isolates from the outside noise as you can keep your windows closed shut all the time.

It does have some drawbacks however:

- Up to +6dB noise in rooms when running at full power (I run it at 20% at night which only adds ~+1dB).

- F7 class filters need to be changed every 3-6 months (~50€).

- Air intake grill with a pre-filter mesh needs thorough cleaning every 6-12 months as it usually gets clogged with debris in spring and autumn.

Not sure if it's due to these drawbacks or lack of knowledge lots of residents don't actually use their unit. You can tell by the open windows all year round. Most say it's too noisy for them - most probably due to lack of maintenance. Others are just plain ignorant saying opening windows is the only way to get "fresh air".
Ah, thanks for the references. Now that you mention them, I realize I definitely knew about tup and fabricate before (and possibly waf?), but had forgotten about them. I haven't really thought much about trace-based build systems in years, until this subthread.

And looking through that waf blog post, I realize that I meant ptrace instead of strace--I want full fine-grained syscall interception, not just a text report afterwards. That gets around a lot of the overhead/parsing problems mentioned, and is required for the "pause build command so its input file can be built" case.

Pay your taxes and you can keep them as far away from any shore as you like.

And I don't really see why you feel the need to invoke the Holocaust in this manner? You're just using it as a sympathetic reason to justify tax evasion. Could I also rob some banks with that justification?
I have been confused about containers for so long but having read your comment and looking up the terms you mentioned allowed me to finally find the right articles that explained containers to me. Thanks!
The Google Tax – Seth Godin
In my experience it's a useful pre-step to an actual DR simulation to shake out the low hanging fruit.

But, as you almost always find issues that you weren't aware of when you do the actual simulation, it's not hugely useful as an end in itself.

Essentially I see it as an insurance to make it more likely that you'll find useful things in the simulation.
Here in Belgium it is mandatory (for quite some years) with every new building development to install a tank capturing rain water from the roof. This water must be used for flushing toilets and you typically also use it to water the garden, wash your car, etc. With some extra (carbon) filters people also use it for their washing machine.

I have a 10000L tank which is more than sufficient for a household of 4 and some garden. The minimum size is calculated based on your roof surface but normally people install a bigger tank. The extra cost for a few 1000L more really isn't that much and it can save you the cost of a fallback system in case the tank runs dry.

The overflow of the tank goes to a separate sewage system that usually ends in a local stream. This way it doesn't dilute the actual grey/black water which, incidentally, makes a water treatment plant more effective (or so they say). It also allows the water to infiltrate into the ground and there's less risk of flooding the streets during a downpour. At least, this is the theory. Work is still very much in progress to split the sewage systems but we're getting there.
Hello HN! This is Jan, co-founder of Apify. Web Scraper (apify/web-scraper) is our new actor in Apify Store which aims to be a general-purpose tool for web crawling and scraping. Under the hood, it uses headless Chrome and the data extraction is done using a provided piece of front-end JavaScript code, potentially with the help of libraries such as jQuery.

Please give it a try, it's free. We'd love to hear what you think - both good or bad things :)
Maybe. Or just good OpSec?
The source is available (open), but there are restrictions in what you can use the source and software for - in this case, no commercial development is explicitly stated. Is this way while it is open and gratis (for some uses), it is not libre.

Additionally, creative commons do not recommend their license for source code and software works because software has specific needs that cc was not developed with in mind.
I usually don't read news article about climate change, because 1. I don't expect any breaking news on this subject, 2. I rather read what has been written and validated by an assembly of international scientists.

Everything is synthetized and well-written in the GIEC report.
I cancelled my NYT subscription because of that article last week, and cited it as the reason. Might have to take something for my schadenfreude.
Overall I tend to agree with this. However the other half of the insane cost (19% of GDP) is the overpay on drugs.

The US has so many idiotic laws that often date back to 1900-1950 in terms of health care. During WW2 because of wage caps companies started to offer health care and that was essentially institutionalized. This is one of the single dumbest polices ever, since it means people who lose their job lose their health care. It means much less diversity in terms of the type of health care coverage that can be used. It also means that people have much less visibility into the cost of their health care, people often say median wages haven't gone up but a large part of that is because health care cost have gone up in almost equal measure.

If you systematically go threw the US health care system it is littered with anti-competitive rules that benefit particular groups on every level. I think people often make it out to be a simple US is "private" system and its bad, so if you change it to a public system its gone be good. I don't know if that is true, many of the same issues persist and somebody has to pay the money eventually. Such a system would help the people who now pay way to much now but society will pay either way and probably +20% of GDP.

At the same time the cost of most non-insurance health care and operations go down. Beauty, eyes and so on go down and down. Cash only health care is WAY cheaper. Something is seriously wrong with this system.

The rest of Europe has no military power to speak of. Random example: the Dutch tank force consists of 0 tanks.

> How do you imagine that the Russians or Chinese will come to dominate Switzerland?

Admittedly Switzerland is probably one of the toughest to beat in Europe due to their strategic advantages (mountains, bunkers, infrastructure pre-rigged with explosives, relatively lots of reservists). However, just look at the numbers above. If the US didn't exist, the EU wouldn't be the EU unless they had 10x the military power they have now to defend themselves.

> Note that Switzerland managed to maintain its independence in WWII even though it was completely surrounded by the Axis.

A few facts about that:

1. It did so partly through secret deals with the Nazis. Ever wonder where the stolen gold of the dead jews was stored and smelted? Right... CH

2. The world's current military and political powers aren't comparable in any way to those during the second world war.

3. The Netherlands was neutral during the first world war. In the second world ware they fought the Germans for 3 days before they lost. That's right. 3 days. The fact that a country managed to stay neutral 70+ years ago says absolutely nothing about whether they would achieve the same again now, with totally different potential enemies. And a completely different distribution of military powers.
it probably sends a packet to the broadcast address. I mean "sends a network discovery packet to each device on port" probably is a fucking broadcast.
That's ridiculous. If anything, scientists overestimated the climate change. There were predictions of climate change displacing 50 million refugees by the year 2010, northern snow cap should have already melted and hurricanes should have become more common, but none of that occurred.
Indeed. And if somebody brings old code up to current standards, we're happy to put it in again. Haven't seen that happen yet though.

Where did you get the idea that I go around telling my coworkers that they’re autistic? I have somebody very close to me quite seriously affected by autism, and I simply see a very strong parallel between how they struggle with sensory issues in perfectly normal environments, and the HN trope of complaining about how open offices are too loud. I’ve worked in more than a hundred offices as a consultant, and the only one that was loud enough to be distracting was a particularly raucous sales floor. Contrary to the baseless conclusions you’ve drawn, the offices I’ve worked in where people enjoyed open-plan the most were the ones with the most open and supportive cultures. The real reason people tend to dislike open plan is screen privacy. If noise is the reason you don’t like it, then you either work in a very loud office, or you’re much more sensitive to sensory input than the average person.

Maybe there are ways to build up tolerance to the music by combining it with activities that do not allow the mood to catch on because they are too incompatible? Like running or working out vigorously while listening to this music? Maybe the link between the music and the memories would wear of with time?

I'm not a therapist but this sounds like something I would try on myself if I were in this situation.
I don't think that's true to be honest; sensory overstimulation is a thing with a lot of people, and workspaces should adjust to it accordingly. (there's also sensory processing disorder where it can get so bad people have a breakdown in the grocery store) However, there is also understimulation - some people can't work in a quiet office, as the article itself also points out.

Long story short, a workspace has to cater to multiple different people - shocking, I know.

Good point, but buying a new mainboard often also means buying a new cpu. I dont think you will be able to fit any of Intels current cpus in the EOL motherboards.
That's pretty cool! It's really not too different from make.py. Using decorators and python functions is likely cleaner in a lot of cases, though I'm not sure if that would fit well with make.py's pseudo-declarative model. It probably wouldn't be too hard to add support for parallelism, either.
Well, privacy has to be gamble. If I do something, I leave a trace. I might directly interact with someone (buying drugs, for instance) or it might be in the privacy of my own room. But I'm always gambling that (a) anyone who I interact with won't dob me in and (b) no third party will detect my actions.

Obviously I hope my bank keeps a record of my assets with them. Perhaps they could merely keep my assets sealed in a box identified with a code and locked by a key, and they cannot open the box without the key, and I keep the only copy of that key. Perhaps the box is an encrypted database record and the key is a nice megabyte long random number which takes an hour to confirm. I can suppose it's secure (for the time being). And it's formally anonymous, since they don't even record that I posses the key.

But I still leave a trace when I access it. It's an intrinsic risk. I also risk dying every time I walk out of my house. I do things that have risk involved because it is necessary. Risk is not an argument against an activity.
But then again as you pointed out, it's all hypothetical. It could easily be the other way around.

You can buy used EVs, but for example, used teslas are in the 40k EUR range, which is quite expensive.

I'm not sure why they are so expensive, but I can imagine that if you have to retrofit the battery system for 20-30k EUR before reselling them, then that's going to drive their price up quite a bit.

Different learning techniques have different applications. I do not believe those techniques are applicable to the hypothetical use-cases of this dataset.

Perhaps semi-supervised could be utilized, which reduces the required annotation by some factor k, but still leaves it as a function of the dataset.

Self-supervised basically replaces human annotation with machine annotation, making it only applicable to a small subset of tasks in which this is possible (e.g. you could train "guess time from picture" using EXIF timestamp).

Unsupervised is only applicable to very specific tasks.

With recent kernels you can combine overlayfs and btrfs.

btrfs subvols/snapshosts have their own costs, they can get slow once you accumulate thousands of them (it's fine if you just use a few at a time). But you can create a single btrfs subvolume, store your overlays in there and then delete the subvolume when you're done.

I don't know... whilst I'm not an audio book fan myself, people who are fans seem very sensitive to different audiobook performers. For example, James Marsters wasn't able to read a single book in the Dresden Files series, and lots of fans quickly noticed and complained.

It's similar to saying that voice actors (and then actual visual actors) will soon be out of business because we can soon 'automate' that too...

Voice (audiobook) acting is a _performance_, not a routine task to tick the "available on Audible" box.

A nice (maybe impossible or impractical) idea would be to sell commercial licenses with eventual future payments.

As in the commercial license states an estimated price and a clause saying that at any time (with some months of notice) the price will be set to somewhere up to the estimated price. If the project chooses an higher price then the licensee is free to not pay. This would also allow prospective licensee to estimate future expenses and the project to estimate eventual revenue.
