Last week I took a pause during my grocery shopping to grab and eat a banana inside the store. They had a bin you can eat from; that's where they put the produce that's looking old or battered and would soon have to be discarded anyway.

I was super hungry, and grateful for that banana. A man with two kids also grabbed some for the young ones.

It's a small thing and probably doesn't achieve much in the end but I really like the idea.

Packaged food is sold at a discount near its expiry date.
Yea, that's why people moved to auth headers.
In the UK I've signed a few employment contracts with such clauses, that If I produce something outside of working hours the company still owns it.

I signed the contracts anyway assuming that most likely the company would not be interested in what I created outside working hours (or even know of it) and that they would only get interested if it becamse really successful, in which case I would probably have the means to defend it.
The Government's Purpose is to deal with garbage correctly.
So sick of this shit.
See straws in turtles? Blame YOUR government. They aren't doing the right thing.
The problem is more about disposal and not ownership -- throwing things away that never get used just makes pointless trash.
The claim is that a renewable grid would be manageable and affordable IF we could produce enough solar and wind installations, but that even optimistic projections don't have enough supply (of solar/wind/etc. installations) to get there in a timely manner.
You seem to think this is not already the case. There's a lot of stuff you're not able to do with the things you own.

And it makes total sense, owning only makes sense as a societal concensus, otherwise, you might own something until someone stronger clubs you in the face and gets your stuff. We agreed that individuals having some rights over things is benefitial for society as a whole, it makes sense to restrict those rights if we see they cause harm.
> Is there a difference between the two?

Sure: Capitalism is basically the term invented by the socialist movement for the things they wished to replace. But the idea that they could do a better job at delivering material progress (to the average joe) was pretty much their central claim.
A unique handcrafted item becomes clutter when it isn't something the recipient will use. Compared with store-bought gifts it comes with the added drawback of being unique, and thus very awkward to dispose of to someone who would use it.

Handcrafted and unique is fine, but suitability is much more important.
If you stopped being a PHP developer, then stop using it, put your (now deprecated) code offline, you are at risk and might put at risk others.
You absolutely can project "winning" at everything. It is possible to become the envy of everyone, though probably tough to do. Is that the goal and will it make you happy?

Living a fulfilling and meaningful life means growing up and see the backside of the shed always is in need of a paintjob, there's always one thing more to attain, one more V in the checklist, then decide what truly matters. Trying to live up to impossible and meaningless standards won't make a person happy in the longer term, so can be prioritized down. Doesn't mean you don't strive for something better when you truly want such pursuits. But the balance and attention to what's important to you, may reinvigorate and make space for wonders!
Alan Edelman's keynote on parallel computing at Supercomputing 2019
Every piece of code in an operating system means a larger surface area for vulnerabilities, more support cost, more maintenance for both developers and the operating system maintainers, etc.

If you want to see how badly this can go wrong - look at Windows. Over a decade ago there were over a half a dozen different ways to represent a string in Windows and depending on which API you called, you had to translate between them.

Also, one of the earliest widespread vulnerabilities was caused by IIS not checking all of the different types of string encodings. You could literally pass DOS commands via the url bar just by encoding them and they would run on the server.
What an interesting bit of trivia. It's also very different to see a non pinned butterfly since I see this as a flying lifeform, it has aerodynamics.. (bioengineering early years)
This guy’s mind is amazing
That's darn cheap in modern systems, and most are doing a plethora of network calls per request either way. .5% overhead won't matter for a long time.
Costs of production, for things likes clothes especially, are very cheap; the value is in marketing and branding. With fashion, what you buy is effectively a tag that lets you cash in on some of the cachet of the brand's advertising spend and the image it portrays.

The actual goods are very secondary, and are increasingly poor quality. Designer shirts I buy these days rip in the elbows and fray at the collar in less than 40 wears or so; jeans wear through at the knee at around the 100 day mark.

I would be surprised if materials and labour for production exceeded £10 on a typical £100 shirt or jeans.
Interesting that he mentions a stats-based approach, calling out provider Opta by name:

You're effectively describing trickle-down economics. "Help out rich people so they pay more taxes which will trickle down to poor people" That's not a real thing. The economy is trickle-up. Income inequality is widening. San francisco has the worst income inequality of any city in a developed country: top 1% earn 44x more than bottom 99%. The number of home owners has actually decreased in the last ten years. Cost of living have increased in line with what the top 1% are making. The recession hurt low income far more than the top and yet we subsidized the shit out of the top by giving tax breaks to tech and wallstreet. We basically created a drag race between a ferrari and a civic, gave the ferrari a head start, and then sat around waiting for the civic to catch up.
HVAC stuff is modular and easy to fix yourself provided you don’t need to open the refrigerant lines. Start capacitors, run capacitors, and contactors are all items that will fail (especially the outdoor unit) and cost under $7 each. The HVAC repairman will charge you $70 each for those parts, and $400 for a few minutes installation. Open yours up and just buy them now so when they fail (always middle of summer heat) you can just put new ones in immediately.

Even blowers and fans are inexpensive ($150) to do it yourself.

Now messing with refrigerants or natural gas; call someone.

The water heater has an aluminum or magnesium anode rod to prevent corrosion. That will dissolve after several years. They sell them at the big box hardware store; they screw right in.
I wouldn't. We are roughly distributed by local food availability, and that correlates well with solar power availability.

The one large difference is that food is easier to import. But I am pretty sure we can solve the energy long distance trade problems.
Not really. I see them as a necessary evil. Everyone else has one and expects me to be able to get around, so I have one too. If public transit were decent, I wouldn’t own a car.
Sure, if you take that into account you still need several kW of average energy production. Unless you live in a very sunny area that's a lot of panels. Panels in Germany for example get about 10-15% of their peak rating if you average over the year.
I had thought this would just be intuitively obvious to anyone

Nothing is intuitively obvious, nothing is common sense, except maybe the UX quip about babies and breast feeding; that's a style of comment which is mostly a superiority boast.

There's a common saying along the lines of "buy once, buy for life" but pushback against it recently suggesting "buy the cheapest thing which will do, if you turn out to use it often enough to break it then consider buying a decent one". Stocking filler plastic tat might be enough to learn whether you have any interest in {jump rope, juggling, yo-yo, growing an indoor plant}.
As others have suggested, if the OP doesn't own the rights to the code it's not actually open source until the company makes it open source. Putting an open source license on someone else's code doesn't make it open source.
Not only are you wrong, but you're being dramatic and deflecting criticism. People being "shitty" when you ask for legal advice online or not is a complete red herring because it is an inappropriate and dangerous substitution. Fiverr? Are you kidding? You can get a fairly cheap half hour consultation of some kind with many a good lawyer for a few hundred dollars AT MOST and it will not be a waste of time. There's only one right answer here.

Your answer is dangerous and your attitude is flippant. You need to seriously rethink both, or you're going to get yourself or someone else in hot water someday.
But this logic makes little sense. It's not like there's some fundamental limit to the supply of wind or solar equipment. If we want more, we build more factories. Nuclear advocates are implicitly admitting this when they propose building new reactors at large scale for which there are no existing factories.
And since that happened, I've stopped engaging with the community at large. There are people who disagree, but I personally do not want to waste stupid amounts of memory to do ephemeral messaging. And their gatekeeping bot is stupid.
Ask HN: MacBook Pro 16-inch, temporarily dead pixels?
I got my MBP 16 last night. In general it's great, but twice now in only a few hours of use I've noticed some distressing graphical artifacts (for something this expensive).

Each time it's been a tiny rectangle of a handful of pixels at a random place on the screen that just turn some random color (bright purple the first time, bright green the second time). The first time was on Firefox and the second was on Apple Music, so it's not specific to the app. As soon as I scroll or otherwise cause the screen to update, they go away.

My guess is it's a GPU thing, not a screen thing. Has anyone else seen this? And do you think I should be worried? Could it represent a hardware defect in the GPU, or just a software problem (driver perhaps?) that could get patched out later if it becomes significant/widely-noticed?
My ABC test: Anywhere But California
There's no contradiction here, because Glennie's first attempt as autocode isn't referred to as "Mark 1 Autocode" (despite running on the Mark 1). Apparently it wasn't an influence on later developments. Wikipedia is pretty clear about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocode
I had an REI jacket, problem with the zipper. They replaced the zipper, and all the buttons on the zipper flap. Free. I think I gave the jacket away eventually, a very good jacket.
A Bison will feed a whole tribe for a month. You can only harvest most crops once a year. Veggies don't bloom all the time. By 10K years ago, humans had already invented the bow and arrow. They also had other clever techniques. Definitely worth the risk. The modern crops we eat today didn't even exist in the wild. It took thousands of years of selective breeding to get modern vegetables and tubers. Throwing seeds is NOT enough to grow real crops in any amount that will actually feed anyone, especially the kind of crops that were around 10K years ago. Farming takes a fuck ton of work. You have to water them, you have to fertilize them, you have to defend them from other animals, you have to weed out other plants competing with it for resources. It's not a simple thing. It's back breaking labor. There's a reason why 90+% of the population were farmers until the invention of gas engines, automated harvesters, electricity, etc.

I mean impartial in the sense that the adjudicators (judge, jury, arbiters, moderators, whomever) are not beholden to the publisher. So a third party. Like our court system is supposed to be.

IMHO, there's not enough daylight between ombudspersons and their paymasters.

I have no fixed opinion for standards of civility. I'm just trying to capture the notion that some dialog, rhetoric is out of bounds, as determined by the intended audience (context).
And the idea that we cannot build the factories is justified by... what? It seems he has pulled his negative conclusion out of his butt.
This would be a step forward, but IMO would be far from solving this problem.

Being rich enough to afford many things (like new shoes not being something you have to plan your budget around) means that you are rich enough to throw things away. And if most people are this rich, then the salary of they guy checking returned shoes for minor defects & funny smells is also going to be high compared to the cost of the goods.

Past societies which didn't waste much just had lots of people who couldn't afford things, material goods we now take for granted. Like owning a dozen pairs of shoes.
Minecraft diamond challenge leaves AI creators stumped
This is the correct answer. It is the only answer.
The one thing I really hate about IT security certifications is that they promulgate these ridiculous "best practices"

Just come to the dark side and learn to program and privilege escalate. You'll learn all these practices and how to circumvent them.
Your employer is also a huge POS for doing this, if you know people with pull in the OSS community or software community in general you could threaten to make a stink over it. This is terrible behavior on their part.

I work in returns at a very large e-tail company, and there are a few things that should be mentioned here:

1. Shipping damages are a huge reason why items have to be junked. Cardboard boxes are not meant to last long. Its rare for an item to go through more than a few shipments without needing to be completely re-boxed. I wish everyone could see the boxes that get sent back to our returns warehouses, sometimes you'd think these boxes have been purposefully destroyed.

2. Luxury brands are very strict about re-sale of items on discount sites. The explicitly prevent companies from re-selling their items on clearance.

3. Items do get sent to charity.

4. There is a huge cost involved in processing returns which means that items that could be re-sold often get junked or liquidated. Its great in theory to talk about re-selling used jackets, but someone has to process that item, ship that item, and buy that item at a cost that makes it worth it. Warehouse space is limited. Why would I use that space to keep used goods, when I can keep items that will make me more profit.
Why should they not? Is this something that dark skinned countries cannot do?

I think your position there is showing a thinly cloaked racism. I suspect much anti-solar talk has that as a motivation. The idea that white skinned boreal countries will become the future's "third world" may be intolerable.
Sounds like a clever marketing scheme from Opta.
A general algorithm for internalizing externalities (for the set of all conscious beings) would be the greatest human achievement I can think of.
> blaming Slack and co. is silly. It’s not their job, and it shouldn’t be: you don’t want the institutions with profit motive to be the ones handling charitable works.

I’d agree with what you said because the reason you gave seems strong & compelling to me; the idea that profit motive might corrupt charity if in charge.

On the other hand, I dislike the idea that only government should “handle” social responsibility. (I think what we’re talking about is responsibility, not charity.) And in fact, today there are laws requiring social responsibility of the private sector, so in a very real sense it actually is their job.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_social_responsibil...

The kind of thinking that separates the people & companies making money from helping our social outcasts, or just giving back to society in general, is exactly the kind of thinking that leads to having more social outcasts and growing income inequality. When rich people argue they should have no responsibility to pay taxes into social programs, what we end up with is more people who need social programs. Why shouldn’t it be everyone’s job to handle social improvement, including all the companies profiting from the environment that makes their profits possible?

> it’s the government that sets the tax rate and decides where revenue goes, not the private sector.

While that might be technically accurate, it seems misleading to frame it this way. The private sector has such massive influence on tax policy, it doesn’t even make sense to suggest the government does it and the private sector doesn’t. Lots of laws are effectively written by and for private companies, enough so that we have a serious problem with it and a name for it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture
If the last 32 bit Mac that Apple shipped was over a decade ago, why wouldn’t you port your code to 64 bit?
Per-frame allocation would be very cheap with a tuned generational GC run every frame, as nothing would be live at the end of the frame and thus tracing would take almost no time. Of course the same would be true of an arena allocator, at the cost of needing to classify every allocation accurately.
Yea I bet those don't have 70% margins. I also bet you know which size to buy when you go back the next year, instead of having to figure out again what shape everybody is making jeans this year.
Opta is the pioneer and the current standard of detailed football statistics.
I've repaired natural gas appliances several times. Usually it is some sort of flame sensor and rather easy to replace.

"The flame sensor is a rather simple device located at the burner assembly. It's not much more than a thin, usually bent, metallic rod that sits in front of the flame stream inside the furnace. The purpose of the flame sensor is to confirm to the system that whenever the gas valve is open, a fire is actually present"

Aestheticians don’t frame the question as “objective vs. subjective” so I wouldn’t use that as a goal or a starting point. There are various approaches and none is more “objective”, just as the X political philosophy is not more objective than Y political philosophy. They are constructed of arguments, evidence, worldviews, and other things that have nothing to do with arriving at some standard of “objectively better.”

My criticism of the “ignorant relativist” is that he is uninformed on the reasoning of his position and of other positions, not that he thinks art is subjective.
I believe it is the person or people to whom the claim is being made. It wouldn't make sense referring to anyone else.

If you made an extraordinary claim to me, I'd expect you to provide any evidence, extraordinary or otherwise, to me. Not to someone else, and especially if that someone else wouldn't consider the claim extraordinary.
Considering how variable game frames are, even if the GC eats that 1ms it will be unnoticeable, assuming it doesn't happen too often.

I mean, i play games like Skyrim that now and then give you a pause as you walk the world while it unloads cells (i refer to normal walking around, not entering/exiting somewhere - which, btw, would be a good place to force a GC too in a similar game that would be written in a GC'd language) which can even be 1 second long. 1ms is noise long lost in there.
For those who don't know, Zhaoxin is a continuation of the Via x86 line. Neat to see a third vendor still kicking.
Indeed, and I think that those who want Dexter should figure something out between themselves and whoever can produce Dexter for them, instead of imposing laws that affect everyone in the country or world (including those who want to have nothing to do with Dexter).

I'm sure if enough people want Dexter and are willing to pay for it, they'll get it, even without copyright law.
And yet Facebook is the company getting roasted 24/7. When will Congress look at Google for once?
This advice is absurd.

OP: My employer wants IP I've created. I want to negotiate compensation for it.

Your advice: Start by sending them a resignation letter.

Negotiations are all about relationships and starting by triggering others fears of abandonment is not the way to collaborate to a mutually beneficial option.

I would suggest that the OP asks the if the employer would be open to discussing what he wants "given the additional value I'd be providing the company, I'm wondering if we could discuss my compensation and control over the project and any interests you may have?", and seek legal advice if he's not confident asking.

It's important that the as initial ask is not phrased as anything extortionary ("give me x or I will/won't do x") as that kind of talk is more likely to trigger legal concerns.
Sure, then you just haven't seen some of the tat that's out there.

There are industries built upon selling stuff that's literally useless. It's not just bad, as another post has said it's "cargo cult merchandise".

Normally this stuff isn't even on sale outside of the holiday period.

The resource usage difference between a good X and a bad X is also usually fairly minimal - it's the cost difference that's much larger.
I think what he's saying is "At the current construction rates for solar and wind, or even with a quite aggressive increase in construction, the UK still won't meet its net zero carbon by 2050 emissions target, so we're on course to keep gas power stations operating because it'll be easy"
Besides the political slant, they appear to claim it isn’t brutalist because it has no visible connectors or internals ... and then show photos of allegedly brutalist architecture with no visible connectors or internals.
